Dumbbell-shaped UFO filmed over Armistead, California | 2020

This daytime UFO sighting was caught on tape in the sky above Armistead in California on 11th June 2020.

Witness report: 

Daylight sighting of angular white “stacked” or dumbbell shaped craft near Red Rock Canyon State Park. Slow steady movement, no sound. My boyfriend and I were driving north on CA HWY 14 (395) outside of Red Rock Canyon State Park near Hart’s Place and Armistead when we spotted an object hovering roughly 500 ft above the open desert valley to our right. We pulled off the side of the highway to view the white object which seemed to be maybe 800-1000ft from us and made no sound. The craft was vertical, and almost looked like two separate objects stacked and connected like a Tinkertoy. The top portion of the craft was smaller than the bottom, which ruled out weather balloon for me. Both sections of the craft appeared to be angular and almost looked to be rotating separately, and it reflected in the sun. It slowly moved W towards us (getting only slightly closer) then moved NE up the valley and gained altitude slowly until it was no longer visible. Our sighting ended when we were no longer able to see the object high up in the sky. I know there are multiple military bases in the area (China Lake, Edwards AFB) and I have witnessed jets flying through the valleys multiple other times, but the only military equipment I could compare this to was a V-BAT UAV, and even that has its differences. I watch the skies often and keep up with UFO news frequently, but have yet to find anything similar to what I saw. I did my best to take video, but I also have zoomed still frames and drawings that were done minutes after the sighting. If the video is over compressed you may not be able to see the object, so please contact me if you’d like the original video to enhance.

What is mutilating cows in the Midwest? FBI probed thousands of reports of cattle killed with 'surgical precision' since the early 1970s - with the deaths blamed on satanic cults, the government and ALIENS

• WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
• Since the early 1970s, thousands of cow murders and mutilations have reportedly taken place in the Midwest
• Reports include cattle having ears, lips, eyes, noses, anuses and genitalia removed with 'surgical precision' 
• Conflicting theories abound - some believe either aliens or the government are responsible for the mutilations, or 'mutes', which have also been reported across the US and abroad
• The FBI attempted to investigate the incidents but were largely unsuccessful due to 'lack of jurisdiction'

By ANNA HOPKINS FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

On a bright, sunny morning in the summer of 1973, Ron and Paula Watson, two farmers in Springfield, Missouri, witnessed something that changed their lives forever.

It was an alien abduction, they say. But not of a human – of cattle.

They said they saw a 'green, cone-shaped craft' – next to which two 'silver little beings' were standing over a large black cow.

'I told Ron, 'My god, they got a cow! What are they doing to it?' Paula said. 'It had its eyes open and its tongue was like, hanging out a little bit. But it just laid there and it didn't move.'

She described in detail how she saw the aliens running their hands over the cow and then inspecting their long fingers before they 'floated' it into their large ship in the distance.

Their neighbors never believed their story, though one did admit to having one black cow left unaccounted for.  The Watsons' story sounds like something out of an early science-fiction film – but it became one of many stories of alien and UFO sightings used to explain the thousands of cow mutilations reported across the United States in the 1970s. 

Since the 1970s, bizarre murders and mutilations of cattle have been reported across the nation, primarily in the Midwest. In this photo (left) of a cow in Saguache County, Colorado in 1975, a female cow's utters have been removed with surgical precision. In the image on the right, a cow was found with its tongue removed in July 2013 on a farm in Missouri

News reports make up the bulk of the FBI's 32 page report on the subject, which is prefaced by a brief explanation that their investigation was hindered by a lack of jurisdiction in most cases

Within the depths of the FBI's database of unsolved mysteries lies the graphic tale of these cattle murders, which outraged and petrified farmers for decades, and is still continuing today.

Speculation surrounding who – or what – might be responsible for the killing and mutilation of thousands of cows has ranged from satanic worshipers, government agents, and even aliens.

The most curious aspect is not that the cattle have died, but the way in which they did. Since the early 1970s farmers have discovered their treasured (and expensive) animals dead with various organs excised – including eyes, noses, tongues, hearts, livers, anuses, and genitalia removed with laser precision.

Though many theories have been offered it's a phenomenon that no one – not even the FBI – have ever been able to solve. 

In 1974, newspapers started to catch wind of these bizarre mutilations, which first took place primarily in extremely rural farmlands in the Midwest. Instances were reported across the nation but were mostly scattered among South Dakota, Colorado, Kansas, and Nevada.

The news reports make up the bulk of the FBI's 32 page report on the subject, which is prefaced by a brief explanation that their investigation was hindered by a lack of jurisdiction in most cases.

The FBI told DailyMail.com that this was due to the fact that at the time there was no federal law declaring animal mutilation a federal crime, which didn't allow the department to continue investigating.

Many residents reported seeing helicopters circling the areas where cattle later turned up dead and sliced up with seemingly surgical accuracy. This prompted concerns that the mutilations, nicknamed 'mutes' by those familiar with the subject, were being propagated and covered up by the government.

in this image on the left, the cow's heart was excised with expert care - and was the third of three cattle mutilated on the same farm in Missouri beginning in 2011. Theories of who, or what, might be responsible have ranged from satanic cults, aliens, and the government. In the image on the right, ranchers found an animal with its sex organs and anus removed

Linda Moulton Howe is a former Miss Idaho turned investigative journalist and regional Emmy-winning filmmaker who has been a primary proponent of the 'alien argument'

This was around the same time of the height of alien paranoia in the United States – when UFOs, or balls or discs of floating light, were being spotted in similarly rural areas, often preceding or following the cow mutilations.

Many who have dedicated their lives to the subject believe, in fact, that aliens are responsible for the mutilations and that the government has been attempting to cover up their crimes (and existence) for years.

• Proof of aliens or another hoax? Conspiracy theorists claim...
• Could this be the way to finally find ALIENS? European Space...

One such person is Linda Moulton Howe, the regional Emmy-winning filmmaker who the Watsons shared their story with for her documentary Earth Mysteries: Alien Life Forms. She has been one of the most steadfast supporters of the alien argument.

Her research conjures the images of what we picture as the stereotypical alien abduction – flying saucers beaming animals up into space with light.

At least two people even reported being abducted by aliens at that time – including one woman named Judy Doraty and her daughter Cindy.

In a 1990 symposium proceeding Howe wrote: '…I found in so many eyewitness accounts of orange glowing objects the size of football fields hovering above pasturelands where mutilated animals were later found. Or beams of light observed shining down from 'silent helicopters' that lighted pastures 'brighter than daylight' and the next day mutilated animals were found. And eyewitness reports of strange craft and/or non-human creatures involved with animals.

'There was Judy Doraty who in 1973 watched a brown and white calf rise in a pale beam of yellow light. Inside the craft, she saw tissue cut from the eye, tongue and testicles by two small grey-skinned creatures. They had four fingers, instead of five, and those long, thin fingers tapered into dark nails. Their eyes had vertical pupils like a cat or a crocodile's.

'Judy's daughter, Cindy, also described in a 1990 hypnosis session seeing a calf rising in a beam of yellow light.'

In a rare winter mutilation, this calf was found in Hooper, Nebraska in 1975 with its jaw completely cut out all the way  up to its right eye socket. Eyewitnesses often reported seeing beaming lights or suspicious helicopters near where mutilated cows were later found 

US Senator Floyd Haskell from Colorado pleaded with the FBI to become involved with the mutilations in August 1975 after receiving more than 130 cases in the state alone, and farmers had taken to arming themselves out of fear 

Supernatural explanations were the only ones that made any sense at the time – given that the technology of the era was not advanced enough to have performed what appeared to be the use of localized lasers.

The areas surrounding the excisions, often around the anus of the murdered animals, had a blackened and burned appearance to them – suggesting the use of a high-powered laser. Other researchers, however, proposed different conclusions.

Christopher O'Brien, an author and investigative journalist on the subject, said that in his 200 cases of dealing with cattle death, about 40 of those were done by 'something with intelligence'.

Christopher O'Brien, an author and who has investigated the subject for decades, said that in his 200 cases of dealing with cattle death, about 40 of those were done by 'something with intelligence'. He is pictured researching left in 1993 and right in 2012

This Hooper, Nebraska calf also had its anus cut in a 10-inch wide diameter and 18-inch deep. O'Brien told DailyMail.com that he didn't believe aliens were responsible - because 'who would fly thousands of light years to collect cow butts?'

He is more skeptical of the alien explanation – saying that Howe's research doesn't incorporate many of the scientific findings that have been made.

He told the DailyMail.com that when a cow decomposes, the vegetable matter contained in one of its four stomachs makes the animal bloat. As the moisture leaves the body it then starts to deflate – causing the exposed edges of the animal to stay hard and darkened.

'To someone who doesn't know what they're looking at – it looks like a burn,' he said.

O'Brien feels that the alien argument is one used to sensationalize the topic and are only looking at a small portion of the total data.

He can't deny, however, how disturbing the number of 'high strange' cases are that he's seen – the ones that involve otherworldly circumstances.

On one occasion which O'Brien calls his 'strangest case' – he was called to the scene of a mutilated calf in Del Norte, Colorado. 

'It was really freaky, it wouldn't rot,' he said. 'It was found in a complete pristine, five inch snow field without one drop of blood on the snow. All the blood had been taken from the animal. The heart and liver had been expertly excised and left in the body cavity.

'The chief medical veterinary pathologist said "it wasn't an animal that did this",' he continued.

In O'Brien's book, Stalking the Heard, he writes that the month-old calf was also missing its spine from the hips to the skull and the brain was gone. It's right front leg was also gone, and the vast majority of its ribs, both eyes, ears, intestines, reproductive tract, and lungs had been removed. Its rectum was also mutilated.

Two witnesses also reportedly saw a large beam of light near the house the previous evening before the calf was found.  

O'Brien's 'strangest case' was this month-old calf that was missing its spine from the hips to the skull and the brain was gone. It's right front leg was also gone, and the vast majority of its ribs, both eyes, ears, intestines, reproductive tract, and lungs had been removed. Its rectum was also mutilated and its heart and liver were excised but left inside the body cavity

He hits on another popular argument for the cattle deaths – though arguably the least plausible explanation. Many believe that the excisions were being done simply by other animals – scavengers such as vultures or coyotes.

O'Brien is quick to discredit this based off of his own experience.

'The first thing I look for is cut hair follicles,' he said. 'When birds or coyotes rip they rip between the lines of hair they don't cut the hair. If I find a 2-3 inch section of cut hair follicles I know that someone or something with a sharp implement did that. It wasn't done by birds or scavengers.'

These 'high strange' cases are less likely to be reported by ranchers, according to O'Brien.

'The freakier the case the less likely the rancher is to report it – they're so freaked out they won't even tell their family or neighbors. He doesn't want people in the community to think he's been singled out and victimized by some supernatural thing. That's why they're very reluctant to come forward.

'It's only when they see the hundreds and hundreds of helicopters being reported around these sites – mostly military helicopters – it's only when they see that that they feel like they've been targeted or victimized by their government and that pisses them off.'

Though the occurrences in the United States have considerably slowed down since they were at their height in the early 1970s, they certainly haven't stopped. O'Brien notes that they have seen a consistently high number of cases in South America, especially Brazil and Argentina.

O'Brien says that throughout his decades of studying mutilations, he's noticed that there's been a shift to South America, where he believes they've had more than 4,000 cases since 2002. A news report included in an FBI briefing stated that more than 1500 cattle in 22 states were killed and mutilated from 1973 to 1976 in the United States 

He claims that since 2002, there have been more than 4,000 cases of cattle mutilation in South America - and are still reporting anywhere from three to a dozen cases a week.

Back in the United States, just before the New Year in 2016, and again a few days afterwards, two cows were mutilated in nearby rural towns in Kansas.

In McPherson County, Carla and John Shearer discovered one of their pregnant cows dead with one eye removed and both her top and bottom eyelids and eyelashes excised.

'We lose animals, but not like this,' Shearer told the Kansas Agland. The couple believes whoever killed their $4,000 cow used a tranquilizer or stun gun to immobilize it before killing it.

'She died in motion – she was walking and she just went straight down,' Shearer added.

Carla and John Shearer on McPherson County, Kansas discovered one of their pregnant cows dead with one eye removed and both her top and bottom eyelids and eyelashes excised in January 2017 

The bull found in nearby Harvey County was found dead with its genitals removed – also cut with surgical precision.

It is O'Brien's opinion that the mass mutilations – of which there were thousands reported in the 1970s alone – are a part of a secretive government effort to research animal plagues such as mad cow or prion disease.

'We've seen this many, many times throughout history – where one case will happen and then within a week there will be a dozen. I think they're looking for something – that's the best explanation I can give. And I think they're looking for something within the food chain.

'Bovine spongiform encephalopathy is the most horrendous affliction that you could possibly imagine. It's 100% fatal – it produces large holes in the brain tissue and creates holes like Swiss cheese in the neuron system and the brain synapses start to misfire. You forget to breathe and your autonomic system starts to break down.

'That I think is the basic underpinnings of it – we're dealing with a group that is interested in keeping an eye on the food chain. The beef industry is the largest, most powerful industry that you never hear about. I think we're dealing with something that's being protected by some quasi-governmental group,' he said.

Though tempting to indulge in the possibility of space creatures invading the planet to study our animals, O'Brien finds this explanation a bit too impractical.

'It sounds like bad science fiction,' he said. 'Who would fly hundreds of light years to come and gather cow butts?'

For those of a certain age, the name “Jacques Cousteau” bring back memories of “The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau,” a popular documentary series running from 1968-1975 and on in reruns, starring the craggy French scuba diver and explorer and his boat, the Calypso. Those shows occasionally featured his young grandson, Fabien Cousteau. Fabien is now a not-so-craggy aquanaut, conservationist and filmmaker in his own right. While billionaire ‘explorers’ like Musk, Bezos and Branson have their sights on space travel and space stations, Fabien is following in his grandfather’s wet footsteps and looking at the ocean floor as the place to save humanity – specifically, in an undersea version of the International Space Station. Is our future in flippers?

Jacques Yves Cousteau

“Ocean exploration is 1,000 times more important than space exploration for — selfishly — our survival, for our trajectory into the future. It’s our life support system. It is the very reason why we exist in the first place.”

Good point, Fabien. In a recent press release, Cousteau and his partner, industrial designer Yves Béhar, describe PROTEUS™ – a two-story combination of cylinders and spheres which will be powered by solar, wind and thermal energy and house laboratories, personal quarters, medical facilities, food preparation areas, a video production facility (of course – runs in the family) and the first underwater greenhouse.

(From The Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Center)

Cousteau sees the similarities between space and underwater living and wants to take the success of the ISS and put it in the Caribbean Sea with new features to make the isolated life of up to 12 aquanauts productive, comfortable and healthy. He studied previous underwater research habitats and spent 31 days in the 400-square-foot Aquarius off the Florida Keys, which was originally built by NOAA and saved by Florida International University after the NOAA lost government funding. Which brings us to why Béhar and Cousteau has been talking to CNN and other media sites.

“Like all big dreams, it will need further development. But one of the ways we’ve done fundraising in the last few months is by sharing this concept and sharing this dream.”

Proteus is still in the concept stage and will remain there until Cousteau and Béhar raise a measly $135 million. So far, all he has is a team and a great website at The Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Center, where more details on the PROTEUS™ are available and donations can be made.

Doesn’t that sound like a better solution to our problems than waiting for Elon to take us to Mars?

Grandpa Jacques would be proud.

RH Negative: Half of All Alien Abductees Are Native American, Celtic or Irish

COAST TO COAST AM -

In one alien abduction case, X-rays showed a Lifesaver-sized implant deep in the skull, and two years later it had moved to the other brain hemisphere. Curiously, some 45% of alien abductees are Native American, Celtic, or Irish, he reported, while the aliens appear in seven different “models” or types, which he believes were expressly cloned or “manufactured” to interact with the human race.

“The big question,” he asked, “is who made them?” These beings often are said to have a specific smell variously described as like rotten cardboard, decaying leather, or sulfur, and their agenda remains cloaked or only partially disclosed, he cited.

CONFIRMED: The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force In The Pentagon Says They Found ‘Objects And Vehicles Not Made On This Earth’

The Pentagon’s once secret department that hunts and investigates UFOs has continued to operate over the past decade despite previous claims it was disbanded.

Ian’t it funny that people who say that UFOs from outer Space are real, and that encounters actually do happen, have been maligned as wacko conspiracy theorists for decades while the whole time the UN government was seeing them with their own eyes and cataloging each event? There has been so much UFO activity that the Pentagon created the The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force to deal with it all. Funny, but your dime store King James Bible told you 6,000 years ago that space aliens were real. Nice to see the Pentagon finally catching up.

“There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” Genesis 6:4 (KJB)

“But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:37 (KJB)

With everything else that has been happening in this ‘Revelation’ year of 2020, it would not only be not surprising for a global sighting of a UFO, but I think it’s to be expected. Am I predicting that will happen? No, but at the same time as I watch all the other ‘beginning of sorrows’ taking place, an alien visitation would be par for the course. And what about those ‘objects and vehicles not made on this earth‘ they say have? Expect for that to be rolled out at a politically expedient time as well, the global elites are great at that sort of thing.

Pentagon’s UFO hunting department was NOT disbanded in 2012 as stated and could now give public reports every six months amid claims it found ‘vehicles not made on this earth’

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force has been tucked away inside the Office of Naval Intelligence, and is now being called on to reveal at least some of its findings to the public every six months, according to the New York Times.

Information on mysterious encounters with unidentified aerial objects has formerly only been discussed in classified briefings, and Pentagon officials are still not at liberty to discuss the program, which deals with classified matters.  The new calls for greater transparency come as officials who previously worked with the unit reveal some of the objects discovered in their investigations were items humans ‘couldn’t make ourselves’ and ‘vehicles not made on this earth’.

UFOS AND OTHER UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS

Last month, US senators demanded to see the Pentagon’s UFO files as they pushed for influence over the secretive Navy program.  The Senate Intelligence Committee wanted defense chiefs to publish a report on the Pentagon’s UFO program and any phenomena it observes.

The committee says it ‘supports the efforts of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force’ – appearing to confirm that such a program still existed.

In 2017, the Pentagon acknowledged funding a secret multi-million dollar program named the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program to investigate UFO sightings, although defense chiefs claimed it had ended in 2012.

‘It was determined that there were other, higher priority issues that merited funding and it was in the best interest of the DoD to make a change,’ a spokeswoman said at the time. But the Pentagon had been less clear about whether the UFO program continued to hover somewhere in the vast universe of the US defense establishment.

‘The DoD takes seriously all threats and potential threats to our people, our assets, and our mission and takes action whenever credible information is developed,’ the spokeswoman said.

People who worked with the UFO program through to 2017 and beyond have now confirmed to the New York Times that it continued to exist, but under a different name and a different office.

The program first began in 2007 under the the Defense Intelligence Agency but has now moved to the Office of Naval Intelligence, where last month the Senate Intelligence Committee revealed it to be called the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force.

‘It no longer has to hide in the shadows,’ Luis Elizondo, a former military intelligence official and the program’s previous director, told the New York Times.

In April this year, the Pentagon released three videos taken by US Navy pilots showing mid-air encounters with unexplained objects.

The grainy black and white footage had previously been leaked and the Navy had acknowledged they were genuine videos. One of the videos was shot in November 2004 and the other two in January 2015.

In one, a weapons sensor operator appears to lose lock on a rapidly moving object which seconds later suddenly accelerates away to the left and out of view. Retired US Navy pilot David Fravor, who saw one of the ‘UFOs’ in 2004, said the object he saw had been moving erratically.

‘As I got close to it … it rapidly accelerated to the south, and disappeared in less than two seconds,’ Fravor told CNN in 2017. ‘This was extremely abrupt, like a ping pong ball, bouncing off a wall. It would hit and go the other way.’

Former Nevada senator Harry Reid, whose state hosts the top secret Area 51 Air Force facility, welcomed release of the videos.

‘I’m glad the Pentagon is finally releasing this footage, but it only scratches the surface of research and materials available,’ he tweeted. ‘The U.S. needs to take a serious, scientific look at this and any potential national security implications. The American people deserve to be informed.’ READ MORE

Asteroid Threats from Cosmos: Potentially Dangerous Asteroid 2020ND Will Pass Earth 

The asteroid 2020 ND will cross Earth on July 24 at 7:13 am, at a distance of about 5.57 million kilometers at a speed of 14 kilometers per second.

SPACETIME – SCIENCE SHOW: For centuries man has gazed at the stars. For centuries the universe has fascinated us and given rise to numerous questions. What is still out there? How did it all originate? Where do we come from? But we also live in permanent danger. Along with us, millions of objects are hurtling through space: meteorites, comets, asteroids. Some of them we know. Others have yet to be discovered. The biggest of them are true killers. If they hit the Earth, it could mean the end of mankind.

We search for asteroids and observe them, calculate their orbits, and assess how dangerous they are. We can even land on them. But not every object coming from outer space is discovered.

And when heavenly bodies come too close to the Earth they pose a real threat.

Mars Easter Island Statue Photo DELETED From Web! NSA Censoring Public! Gigapan Index Gone! UFO Sighing News.

Original link: 

• http://www.gigapan.com/galleries/13476/gigapans/196688
  

A few days ago I noticed that the original link to the source photo I used to make this video and post has disappeared. Not only has this photo been taken down, but it seems all of Gigapan can no longer be viewed. Whoever did this wanted to erase any future evidence too. 

• http://www.gigapan.com/ 

You can see the small thumbnails, but if you click on the image, its a 500 error code you see. 

For reasons unknown the photo itself is just gone. I do believe that the NSA could easily scrub the sources of the originals deleting them from the internet but why this? Why the Easter Island statue on Mars? At a time when China sends another rover to Mars last week. Does the US gov want to keep the public in the dark about aliens existing on Mars or do they want to keep the link between Mars Easter Island and Earth Easter Island statues silent? Either way, its proof someone is editing what the public can and cannot see.

Orb Follows Fox On Door Security Cam, Silver Springs, Maryland, July 23, 2020, UFO Sighting News.

Source: MUFON report #110410
Date of sighting: July 23, 2020
Location of sighting: Silver Springs, Maryland, USA 

Very odd how the orb follows the fox and then loses interest and comes back, then something small flies past the orb at the end of the video, but the orb moves out of the way at the last second. Its clear to me the orb has deliberate movement and reactions to both the fox walking forward and the bug flying past. Strange...and very interesting to actually see it happen. Absolute proof this orb is highly intelligent.

Robbie Williams Talks About UFO Sighting, Did Aliens Change Him Or Inspire Him? Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of interview: Feb 26, 2018
Location of interview: Australia, 60 Minutes TV Show

Actor and singer Robbie Williams was on 60 Minutes TV show and confessed in a very serious tone and look that he has had an encounter with a UFO. He said that he was at a ranch in Utah state and the UFO was so close to him that had he a tennis ball, he could have hit the craft with the ball. Now that is close. Sadly the person conducting the interview took it less serous and joked instead of diving deeper into what Robbie actually saw so we have little details about it. 

Its also interesting that he took tennis...something he loved and makes him relax and used an analogy of "could hit the UFO with a tennis ball." Its clear that Robbie Williams has a very positive feeling and experience tied to seeing the UFO up close. An experience that left him a changed man forever. 

Its not as if it was a coincidence that a UFO hovered over him 100-150 feet up. It was actually on purpose. Alien often deliberately travel through space and time...yes time travel just to see someone who...in the past...changed life as we know it in some way. They did that with John Lennon, they did that with US president Reagan and Carter and so much more. I wonder...which song or movie inspired the aliens to seek him out? And...did the encounter itself inspire Robbie to make the song or movie? This...would be a unique paradox...of what came first...the chicken or the egg?

I think the song Advertising Space by Robbie Williams may have been that inspiration to visit him...a song that explains the best and worst of humanities existence. I will place it below.

It is said that MASSIVE, white-colored creatures—which grow to up to 30 meters in length, with humanoid-like facial features—inhabit the cold waters near Antarctica. No one knows for sure what they are, but numerous vessels claim to have witnessed the massive humanoid-beings rise from the depths of the ocean.

by Janice Friedman

For the past couple of decades, rumors have circulated around the world about the existence of gigantic humanoids, strange forms of life that inhabit the icy waters of Antarctica.

In this article, we take a look at the enigma that surrounds this alleged giant, pale humanoids.

According to witnesses, there are creatures which are referred to as Ningen (人間, ‘human’ in Japanese) who have a human-like shape, often with legs, arms, and even five-fingered hands.

Sometimes they are described with fins or a large tail like that of mermaids. The only visible facial features are the creature’s eyes and mouth—various descriptions seem to vary among all who claim to have ‘encountered the mysterious beings.’

However, while there are many descriptions that try to depict the Ningen as clearly as possible, most witnesses seem to agree on the size of the Ningen.

According to reports, these supermassive white-colored humanoid beings grow up to 30 meters.

So, big deal… Maybe it’s a giant fish?

Well, according to several reports—and countless videos which have been posted online—these mystery beings are unlike anything we’ve encountered before.

Reports from one sighting explains how crew members of a vessel traveling near Antarctica observed what was initially thought to be a submarine in the distance. However, when they approached the unidentified submerged object, it was clear by the irregular shape of the object that it was not a submarine, but a living creature. When the vessel approached the creature, it quickly disappeared into the depths near the Antarctic continent.

However, Ningen have also been spotted in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, giving rise to theories which suggest they are mostly nocturnal creatures and survive in cold arctic waters. Most of the alleged sightings occurred at night, making the mystery beings extremely difficult to document or capture on video.

So what on Earth are these creatures?

For the most part, the existence of the Ningen is considered a massive modern “urban legend”. Much of the information about the Ningen goes back to a series of posts in the online community “2channel”, where an individual described seeing the giant humanoid creature, while serving on a “government whale research vessel,” when one of the alleged beings rose up to the surface and approached the vessel from the depths.

Soon the popular topic attracted the attention of many readers from outside these forums and the Ningen became popular among paranormal researchers.

There are several theories including an albino whale, an unknown species of giant aquatic non-human ape, it could also be a new species of giant manta ray, an aquatic sloth, some even argue how it could be an unknown alien species, and well… a Demon or Monster. Take your pick?

Adead creature with a human-like head has been discovered on a mountain ridge in Antarctica.

Searching for anomalies using Google Earth, Fredrick found the weird creature after zooming in to a height of 30 meters above the ground surface. 

Where the creature came from and how it ended up in Antarctica is unknown but it looks like it is partly bestial and partly human in form.

There are many stories of mythological beings like a bovine creature with the head of a human and the body of a goat or a penghou creature with the face of a man and the body of the dog.

Is it possible that the stories about mythological beings are true and this dead hybrid being is proof that such creatures exist?

Dumbbell-shaped UFO filmed over Armistead, California | 2020

This daytime UFO sighting was caught on tape in the sky above Armistead in California on 11th June 2020.

Witness report: 

Daylight sighting of angular white “stacked” or dumbbell shaped craft near Red Rock Canyon State Park. Slow steady movement, no sound. My boyfriend and I were driving north on CA HWY 14 (395) outside of Red Rock Canyon State Park near Hart’s Place and Armistead when we spotted an object hovering roughly 500 ft above the open desert valley to our right. We pulled off the side of the highway to view the white object which seemed to be maybe 800-1000ft from us and made no sound. The craft was vertical, and almost looked like two separate objects stacked and connected like a Tinkertoy. The top portion of the craft was smaller than the bottom, which ruled out weather balloon for me. Both sections of the craft appeared to be angular and almost looked to be rotating separately, and it reflected in the sun. It slowly moved W towards us (getting only slightly closer) then moved NE up the valley and gained altitude slowly until it was no longer visible. Our sighting ended when we were no longer able to see the object high up in the sky. I know there are multiple military bases in the area (China Lake, Edwards AFB) and I have witnessed jets flying through the valleys multiple other times, but the only military equipment I could compare this to was a V-BAT UAV, and even that has its differences. I watch the skies often and keep up with UFO news frequently, but have yet to find anything similar to what I saw. I did my best to take video, but I also have zoomed still frames and drawings that were done minutes after the sighting. If the video is over compressed you may not be able to see the object, so please contact me if you’d like the original video to enhance.

Astronomers hope to be able to peer 'all the way into the centre of the explosion' and know how it came about

 by Adam Smith  - @adamndsmith

A huge flash of ultraviolet light has been spotted deep in the universe, and could potentially help illuminate some of the universe's deepest mysteries.

The discovery could help shed light on how stars come to explode, and how the universe forms the heavy metals that surround us, as well as enigmatic dark energy, scientists say.

The blast was sent through space following a white dwarf explosion – and astronomers have only ever been able to see such an event once before.

NASA captures the first images of Ganymede’s icy north pole

This will help to understand the formation of Jupiter's moons.

 by Fermin Koop

Extraordinary views of the largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede, were captured by NASA’s Juno Jupiter probe. This data provides the first infrared mapping of the massive moon’s northern frontier and could help to understand the evolution of the Jovian moons.

The moon has long attracted astronomers since Galileo discovered it in 1610. While he didn’t have many of the tools needed to examine it at his disposal, now NASA does. The Juno Jupiter probe captured infrared imagery, using the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument.

While JIRAM was initially designed to capture the infrared light emerging from deep inside Jupiter, thus probing its ‘weather layer’, it can also be used to study the moons. This includes Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, collectively known as the Galilean moons for their discoverer.

“The JIRAM data shows the ice at and surrounding Ganymede’s north pole has been modified by the precipitation of plasma,” said Alessandro Mura, a Juno co-investigator, in a press release. “It is a phenomenon that we have been able to learn about for the first time with Juno because we are able to see the north pole in its entirety.”

Ganymede, which is larger than Mercury and Pluto, consists mainly of water ice and is the only moon in the solar system with its own magnetic field. On Earth, the magnetic field allows plasma to enter the atmosphere and create auroras. But Ganymede has no atmosphere so its surface receives plasma from Jupiter’s magnetosphere. The plasma stops the ice in Ganymede’s poles from turning into the structures we see on Earth.

On Earth, water forms a crystalline structure after it freezes, with layers upon layers of water molecules forming a lattice of hexagonal rings. But this doesn’t happen on Ganymede, where the ice has an amorphous form.

Analyzing and understanding these structures will help to understand the formation of Jupiter’s moons and the forces that shaped them. The European Space Agency also plans to explore the moon with the spacecraft JUICE (Jupiter Icy Mons Explore) which will be launched in 2022.

The European spacecraft will reach Jupiter by 2029 and should start performing close-up science at Ganymede around 2032. NASA’s plans are also set to continue, exploring another Jupiter moon around the same time with the assistance of Europa Clipper.

-The Juno spacecraft entered the orbit of Jupiter 2016 with the main goal of revealing the story of Jupiter’s formation and evolution. Juno will use diverse technologies on a spinning spacecraft placed in an elliptical polar orbit to analyze Jupiter’s gravity and magnetic fields, atmospheric dynamics and composition, as well as its evolution.

China launches ambitious Tianwen-1 Mars rover mission

China's first fully homegrown Mars mission is on its way to the Red Planet.

The Tianwen-1 mission launched atop a Long March 5 rocket from Hainan Island's Wenchang Satellite Launch Center this morning (July 23) at 12:41 a.m. EDT (0441 GMT).

Tianwen-1 consists of an orbiter and a lander/rover duo, a combination of craft that had never before launched together toward the Red Planet. The ambition of Tianwen-1 is especially striking given that it's China's first stab at a full-on Mars mission. (The nation did launch a Red Planet orbiter called Yinghuo-1 in November 2011, but the spacecraft flew piggyback with Russia's Phobos-Grunt mission. And that launch failed, leaving the probes trapped in Earth orbit.)

"Tianwen-1 is going to orbit, land and release a rover all on the very first try, and coordinate observations with an orbiter," team members wrote in a recent Nature Astronomy paper outlining the mission's main objectives. "No planetary missions have ever been implemented in this way. If successful, it would signify a major technical breakthrough."

Taking the measure of Mars

If all goes according to plan, Tianwen-1 will arrive at the Red Planet in February 2021. The lander/rover pair will touch down on the Martian surface two to three months later somewhere within Utopia Planitia, a large plain in the planet's Northern Hemisphere that also welcomed NASA's Viking 2 lander in 1976.

The solar-powered rover will then spend about 90 Martian days, or sols, studying its surroundings in detail. (One sol is roughly 40 minutes longer than an Earth day.) It will do so with six different science instruments, which the Nature Astronomy paper identified as the Multispectral Camera, Terrain Camera, Mars-Rover Subsurface Exploration Radar, Mars Surface Composition Detector, Mars Magnetic Field Detector and Mars Meteorology Monitor.

The orbiter will eventually settle into a polar elliptical orbit that takes it as close to the Martian surface as 165 miles (265 kilometers) and as far away as 7,456 miles (12,000 km). The spacecraft will relay information home from the rover and collect science data of its own using seven science instruments: two cameras, the Mars-Orbiting Subsurface Exploration Radar, Mars Mineralogy Spectrometer, Mars Magnetometer, Mars Ion and Neutral Particle Analyzer and Mars Energetic Particle Analyzer.

The lander apparently will not do any substantive science work, serving as a delivery system for the rover. That wheeled explorer, by the way, tips the scales at about 530 lbs. (240 kilograms), making it twice as heavy as China's line of moon-exploring Yutu rovers.

Overall, Tianwen-1 aims to take Mars' measure in a variety of ways.

"Specifically, the scientific objectives of Tianwen-1 include: (1) to map the morphology and geological structure, (2) to investigate the surface soil characteristics and water-ice distribution, (3) to analyze the surface material composition, (4) to measure the ionosphere and the characteristics of the Martian climate and environment at the surface, and (5) to perceive the physical fields (electromagnetic, gravitational) and internal structure of Mars," mission team members wrote in the Nature Astronomy paper. 

The paper also explained the mission's name: Tianwen means "questions to heaven," and it was taken from the title of a poem by Qu Yuan, who lived from about 340 to 278 BCE.

Summer of Mars

Tianwen-1 was the second Mars mission to get off the ground in the last four days. 

The United Arab Emirates' Hope orbiter launched on Sunday (July 19) to study the Martian atmosphere and climate, streaking into space from Japan atop an H-2A rocket. Like Tianwen-1, Hope (also known as the Emirates Mars Mission) is historic: It's the first interplanetary mission ever developed by an Arab state. 

And the summer of Mars isn't over yet. NASA's next Mars rover, the 2,300-lb. (1,040 kg) Perseverance, is scheduled to lift off on July 30. 

This clumping of launches is dictated by orbital dynamics; Earth and Mars line up properly for interplanetary missions for just a few weeks once every 26 months. (The European-Russian ExoMars rover was supposed to join the launch party this summer, but it suffered technical issues and now must wait until 2022.)

Going nuclear: NASA's Perseverance Mars rover gets its power source for July 30 launch

By Meghan Bartels

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover is ready to roll on the surface of the Red Planet now that its nuclear power source has been installed.

That update came via Tory Bruno, head of United Launch Alliance, which is responsible for launching Perseverance on its way next Thursday (July 30). The installation is a vital step toward liftoff for the rover, which will rely on the power system, called a Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG), to keep its instruments running and to stay warm during the cold Martian nights and winters.

"The #MarsPerseverance MMRTG is installed and doing well," Bruno wrote on Twitter on Wednesday (July 22). "This Red Planet dune buggy is fueled and ready to go!"

• In Photos: NASA's Mars Perseverance rover mission to the Red Planet

The MMRTG is designed to power the rover for up to 14 years, far beyond the $2.7 billion spacecraft's initial mission lifetime of nearly two Earth years, or one Martian year. It is based heavily on the system that powers NASA's Curiosity rover, which launched in 2011 and has been roving the Red Planet since August 2012.

When such a system launches, it can produce about 110 watts of power, according to NASA and the Department of Energy (DOE). The MMRTG contains radioactive plutonium, which naturally decays into more stable atoms. As it does so, it releases heat, which the MMRTG converts into electricity. Excess heat keeps a spacecraft's instruments warm enough to keep working smoothly.

Although an MMRTG runs on nuclear power, it isn't the same form of plutonium as what is used in bombs and cannot explode, according to NASA and the DOE.

For Mars missions, MMRTGs offer a key benefit: Unlike solar panels, they aren't affected by local weather, which means a spacecraft that carries one isn't vulnerable to dust storms, as NASA's Opportunity rover was. 

Another MMRTG is scheduled to power NASA's Dragonfly mission, a rotorcraft designed to explore the hazy skies of Saturn's massive moon Titan in 2026.

Earth’s magnetic field extends from the Earth’s interior out into space, surrounding our planet like an invisible force field , protecting life from harmful solar radiation by deflecting away charged particles from the sun. But this field is continuously changing. Indeed, our planet’s history includes numerous global magnetic reversals, where north and south magnetic poles swap places.

Deep inside the Earth, liquid iron is flowing and generating the Earth’s magnetic field, which protects our atmosphere and satellites against harmful radiation from the sun. This field changes over time, and also behaves differently in different parts of the world. The field can even change polarity completely, with the magnetic north and south poles switching places. This is called a reversal and last happened 780,000 years ago.

Saint Helena, where Earth’s magnetic field behaves strangely.

Between South America and southern Africa, there is an enigmatic magnetic region called the South Atlantic Anomaly, where the field is a lot weaker than we would expect. Weak and unstable fields are thought to precede magnetic reversals, so some have argued this feature may be evidence that we are facing one.

Now our new study, published June 12, 2020, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has uncovered how long the field in the South Atlantic has been acting up – and sheds light on whether it is something to worry about.

Weak magnetic fields make us more prone to magnetic storms that have the potential to knock out electronic infrastructure, including power grids. The magnetic field of the South Atlantic Anomaly is already so weak that it can adversely affect satellites and their technology when they fly past it. The strange region is thought to be related to a patch of magnetic field that is pointing a different direction to the rest at the top of the planet’s liquid outer core at a depth of 1,795 miles (2,889 km) within the Earth.

This “reverse flux patch” itself has grown over the last 250 years. But we don’t know whether it is simply a one-off product of the chaotic motions of the outer core fluid or rather the latest in a series of anomalies within this particular region over long time frames.

If it is a non-recurring feature, then its current location is not significant – it could happen anywhere, perhaps randomly. But if this is the case, the question of whether its increasing size and depth could mark the start of a new reversal remains.

If it is the latest in a string of features reoccurring over millions of years, however, then this would make a reversal less likely. But it would require a specific explanation for what was causing the magnetic field to act strangely in this particular place.

Volcanic rocks

To find out, we travelled to Saint Helena – an island in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. This island, where Napoleon was exiled to and eventually died in 1821, is made of volcanic rocks. These originate from two separate volcanoes and were erupted from between eight million and 11.5 million years ago.

Lead author Yael Engbers is drilling a core on Saint Helena.

Image via Andy Biggin/ The Conversation.

When volcanic rocks cool down, small grains of iron-oxide in them get magnetized and therefore save the direction and strength of the Earth’s magnetic field at that time and place. We collected some of those rocks and brought them back to our lab in Liverpool, where we carried out experiments to find out what the magnetic field was like at the time of eruption.

Our results showed us that the field at Saint Helena had very different directions throughout the time of eruption, showing us that the field in this region was much less stable than in other places. It therefore challenges the idea that the abnormality has only been around for only a few centuries. Instead, the whole region has likely been unstable on a timescale of millions of years. This implies the current situation is not as rare as some scientists had assumed, making it less likely that it represents the start of a reversal.

A window into Earth’s interior

So what could explain the odd magnetic region? The liquid outer core that is generating it moves (by convection) at such high speeds that changes can occur on very short, human timescales. The outer core interacts with a layer called the mantle on top of it, which moves far slower. That means the mantle is unlikely to have changed very much in the last ten million years.

Earth’s inner structure.

Image via Wikipedia.

From seismic waves passing through the Earth, we have some insight into the structure of the mantle. Underneath Africa there is a large feature in the lowermost mantle where the waves move extra slow through the Earth – meaning there’s most likely an unusually warm region of the lowermost mantle. This possibly causes a different interaction with the outer core at that specific location, which could explain the strange behavior of the magnetic field in the South Atlantic.

Another aspect of the inside of the Earth is the inner core, which is a solid ball the size of Pluto beneath the outer core. This solid feature is slowly growing, but not at the same rate everywhere. There is a possibility that it is growing faster on one side, causing a flow inside the outer core that is reaching the outer boundary with the rocky mantle just under the Atlantic hemisphere. This may be causing irregular behavior of the magnetic field on the long timescales we found on Saint Helena.

Although there are still many questions about the exact cause of the irregular behavior in the South Atlantic, this study shows us that it has been around for millions of years and is most likely a result of geophysical interactions in the Earth’s mysterious interior.
