Harvard’s top astronomer says our solar system may be teeming with alien technology
Harvard’s top astronomer says our solar system may be teeming with alien technology
Avi Loeb spent his career searching for evidence of alien life. When he found it, the scientific community refused to believe him.
If you could fly two billion miles in the direction of the Pegasus constellation, and knew where to look, you would find a thin, flat object, about the size of a football field and up to ten times more reflective than the average comet. If you watched it for a while, you would notice that it is tumbling as it moves away from the sun, turning end over end roughly every seven hours.
This object passed the Earth in October 2017. As it began its return to interstellar space, the Canadian astronomer Robert Weryk identified it among the images from what was then the world’s most powerful camera, a telescope in Hawaii called Pan-STARRS1. The astronomers in Hawaii called it ‘Oumuamua, a Hawaiian word meaning “first scout from a distant place”.
‘Oumuamua was the subject of great excitement. It was the first object humans have observed travelling through the solar system from interstellar space. But it also became controversial: its shape, the way in which it approached us, and the way it moved away are not consistent with the behaviour of an asteroid or comet. For 11 days, the world’s telescopes searched for meaning from this strange visitor.
A year later, the debate about ‘Oumuamua intensified when one of the world’s foremost astronomers, Avi Loeb, submitted a paper to the Astrophysical Journal Letters. In it, Loeb and his colleague, Shmuel Bailey, argued that ‘Oumuamua’s strange properties indicated that it was “a new class of thin interstellar material, either produced naturally, through a yet unknown process […] or of an artificial origin”. Since then, Loeb has maintained that the most rational, conservative explanation is that ‘Oumuamua was produced by an alien civilisation.
We will almost certainly never see ‘Oumuamua again, because it is heading away from the solar system at 30 kilometres a second. But Loeb says scientists must prepare now for what happens when the next such object arrives, as he believes it will very soon. If he is right, these objects surround us in numbers that are almost unimaginable.
***
Avi Loeb is a fast talker; he has the rapid fluency of someone who has spent decades giving lectures, but there is also an unpractised enthusiasm to his speech. He keeps the accent of his native Israel, though he has lived in the US since 1988, when he took a fellowship at Princeton University. His first interview was with the famous physicist Freeman Dyson, who was also well known for theorising about alien civilisations.
Loeb spent almost a decade as chair of Harvard’s astronomy department, the longest any scientist has held that position. He has made or helped to make a number of major breakthroughs in our understanding of the universe, including different ways of detecting exoplanets – planets orbiting stars other than the sun. He has correctly predicted incredible phenomena, such as stars that streak across the depths between galaxies at nearly half a billion miles an hour. He is the founding director of Harvard’s Black Hole Initiative, part of the Event Horizon Telescope project that in April 2019 presented to the world the first photograph of a black hole.
Practically all of Loeb’s predictions have had the backing of his peers, except one.
In the autumn of 2019, Loeb and a colleague – a senior astronomer at Harvard – attended a seminar on ‘Oumuamua. “After it ended,” Loeb told me, “I left the room together with a colleague of mine who is a conservative, mainstream astronomer, and he said: ‘This object is so weird – I wish it never existed.’”
This is, Loeb says, “a terrible thing to say for a scientist… you should accept with open arms anything that nature gives you”. But he has also found such attitudes to be common. There is, he says, a widespread “taboo” on talking about extraterrestrial intelligence.
Why does Loeb believe that ‘Oumuamua was alien technology?
First, unlike most things in space, ‘Oumuamua was not moving relative to what astronomers call the local standard of rest. Loeb calls this a “very special frame of reference, sort of the galactic parking lot”. It was not that ‘Oumuamua visited us but that the sun and its attendant planets, moving through space at 450,000 miles an hour, moved past it, the sun’s gravity bumping it as a ship’s wake disturbs a piece of flotsam.
But what really excites Loeb is what happened next. ‘Oumuamua “showed an excess push away from the sun, in addition to the sun’s gravitational force acting on it”. This happens with comets, which can speed up as the frozen material on them vaporises, causing them to swerve through space and producing a distinctive “tail”. Based on the change in its speed, Loeb says ‘Oumuamua would have had to lose “about a tenth of its mass. That’s quite a lot… we should have seen a very clear cloud of gas around it.”
But ‘Oumuamua had no tail. Close observation by the Spitzer Space Telescope saw nothing around it; it did not even radiate any heat. And it did not move erratically, as comets do, but accelerated smoothly away from the sun. The most rational explanation for this, Loeb says, is that it was pushed by sunlight itself.
‘Oumuamua’s shape is also distinct from almost everything else we have observed in space. Its brightness varied by a factor of ten every eight hours, suggesting “a very extreme geometry”. The most popular depiction of ‘Oumuamua is of a long, cigar-shaped rock, but research by Sergey Mashchenko, a computational astrophysicist at McMaster University in Canada, suggests a 91 per cent chance that it is disc-shaped.
Each of these factors is highly unlikely for any astronomical object. Taken together, Loeb says, they make ‘Oumuamua “a very rare object, if it’s coming from the same reservoir of objects [asteroids and comets] that we are familiar with”.
For Loeb, the rational answer is to find something that fits the data and is familiar to us.
Astronomers were able to do this in September, when another object, called 2020 SO, was discovered in orbit around the Earth. Just like ‘Oumuamua, 2020 SO appeared to have been pushed from its gravitational course by sunlight. And this time, Nasa confirmed that 2020 SO was artificial. It was a piece of a Centaur rocket, launched from Florida in 1966, that had been recaptured by the Earth’s gravity.
For Loeb, 2020 SO “illustrates the fact that we can identify an object that behaves in a peculiar fashion, that has no cometary tail, and yet it exhibits an extra push. And if ‘Oumuamua, indeed, was that kind of an object, the question is: who produced it?”
***
Loeb’s biggest concern about ‘Oumuamua is not that it has disappeared from sight, but that the response to it “betrays the culture of science”. The Copernican principle, the change in thinking that allowed humanity to begin modern astronomy, states that we are not at the centre of the universe. To pretend, in the face of confounding data, that ‘Oumuamua is just another asteroid is to act as if we are.
Loeb’s sense of scale and probability is informed by a long study of the early universe. In a 2014 paper, he described the likelihood that rocky planets with liquid water provided the chemistry to support life when the universe was as little as ten million years old. In the 13.8 billion years since that time, billions of galaxies – each home to billions of Earth-like planets – have formed. To say that life, intelligence and civilisation have emerged only once in such an expanse of time and space is, he argues, a radical view.
“There is nothing more conservative than saying that if you arrange for the same circumstances, you get the same outcome,” he says. For Loeb, the conservative assumption about humanity is “that we are a middle-of-the-road kind of life that exists everywhere. I don’t think that we are special or unique.”
But if we are not unique, it follows that ‘Oumuamua is not unique, either.
Pan-STARRS began searching for near-Earth objects in early 2014, and discovered ‘Oumuamua in under four years. Applying the Copernican principle, we should assume that we will see another object once every three or four years. But this frequency may change, because our ability to see them is about to increase.
This year, the telescope at the Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile will take its first test pictures – astronomers call this “first light” – of the night sky. Even more powerful than Pan-STARRS, this will repeatedly photograph everything visible in the sky using a mirror more than eight metres across and the biggest digital camera in the world.
“We could then find one such object every month,” says Loeb, “because, you know, there should be many more out there.”
The question of how many ‘Oumuamuas are out there is the point at which the inferences become dizzying. If we see one every few years, Loeb infers that “there should be one in every volume roughly the size of the orbit of the Earth around the sun”. This is a vast area in human terms, but in the immensity of space, “it’s pretty small. So it means that there are plenty of them, a quadrillion of them, inside the Oort cloud. Inside the solar system. There are lots of them.”
It is difficult to reconcile the idea that we are surrounded by trillions of pieces of alien technology with scientific conservatism. Humanity’s understanding of itself would be radically changed if we knew that other life had once built such things.
But Loeb believes, as he explains in his compelling and personal new book on ‘Oumuamua, Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth, that humanity’s understanding of itself should change now. The book is not so much a claim for one object as an argument for a more open-minded approach to science – a combination of humility and wonder that he worries has been supplanted by elitism and “intellectual gymnastics”.
“The crime here,” he tells me, is that a whole branch of astronomy, “a subject that is so appealing to the public, that the scientific community can address with its instruments and methodology, is not being addressed at all.”
But if Loeb is right, we may soon have no choice but to wonder. Next month, on 18 February, the Perseverance rover will land on Mars to search for signs of life. Any evidence, even of ancient microbes, on our celestial neighbour would suggest that life is far more abundant than is generally accepted.
“We might learn much more in the coming year,” says Loeb. “So, let’s wait and see.”
L'étrange espace qui se trouve en dehors de notre système solaire
L'étrange espace qui se trouve en dehors de notre système solaire

Loin de l'étreinte protectrice du Soleil, le bord de notre système solaire semble être un endroit froid, vide et sombre. On a longtemps pensé que l'espace qui nous sépare des étoiles les plus proches est une vaste étendue de néant effrayante.
Jusqu'à récemment, c'était un endroit que l'humanité ne pouvait voir que de loin. Les astronomes n'y prêtaient qu'une attention passagère, préférant concentrer leurs télescopes sur les masses lumineuses de nos étoiles et galaxies voisines.
Mais depuis quelques années, deux vaisseaux spatiaux, construits et lancés dans les années 1970, nous renvoient nos premiers aperçus de cette étrange région que nous appelons l'espace interstellaire. Premiers objets fabriqués par l'homme à quitter notre système solaire, ils s'aventurent dans des territoires inexplorés, à des milliards de kilomètres de chez nous. Aucun autre vaisseau spatial n'a encore parcouru une telle distance.
Et ils ont révélé qu'au-delà des limites de notre système solaire se trouve une région invisible d'activité chaotique et moussante.
"Lorsque vous regardez différentes parties du spectre électromagnétique, cette région de l'espace est très différente de l'obscurité que nous percevons avec nos yeux", explique Michele Bannister, astronome à l'université de Canterbury à Christchurch, en Nouvelle-Zélande, qui étudie les confins du système solaire. "Les champs magnétiques se battent, se poussent et s'attachent les uns aux autres. L'image que vous devriez avoir est comme le bassin de plongée sous les chutes du Niagara".

Des explosions comme celles des supernovae lancent des rayons cosmiques dans toutes les directions dans l'espace interstellaire
Cependant, au lieu de faire culbuter l'eau, la turbulence est le résultat du vent solaire - un flux constant et puissant de particules chargées, ou plasma, qui est projeté dans toutes les directions depuis le Soleil - lorsqu'il s'écrase sur un cocktail de gaz, de poussière et de rayons cosmiques qui souffle entre les systèmes stellaires, connu sous le nom de "milieu interstellaire".
Au cours du siècle dernier, les scientifiques ont pu se faire une idée de la composition du milieu interstellaire, en grande partie grâce à des observations effectuées à l'aide de radiotélescopes et de télescopes à rayons X. Ils ont révélé qu'il est composé d'atomes d'hydrogène ionisés extrêmement diffus, de poussière et de rayons cosmiques, entrecoupés de nuages moléculaires denses de gaz que l'on pense être le lieu de naissance de nouvelles étoiles.
Mais sa nature exacte, juste à l'extérieur de notre système solaire, est restée en grande partie un mystère, principalement parce que le Soleil, les huit planètes et un lointain disque de débris connu sous le nom de ceinture de Kuiper, sont tous contenus dans une bulle protectrice géante formée par le vent solaire, appelée héliosphère. Lorsque le Soleil et les planètes qui l'entourent se précipitent à travers la galaxie, cette bulle se heurte au milieu interstellaire comme un bouclier invisible, empêchant la majorité des rayons cosmiques nocifs et autres matériaux d'entrer.
Mais ses propriétés vitales rendent également plus difficile l'étude de ce qui se trouve au-delà de la bulle. Il est même difficile de déterminer sa taille et sa forme de l'intérieur.
"C'est comme si vous étiez à l'intérieur de votre maison et que vous vouliez savoir à quoi elle ressemble. Il faut aller dehors et jeter un coup d'œil pour vraiment savoir", explique Elena Provornikova, chercheuse postdoctorale au laboratoire de physique appliquée de l'université Johns Hopkins. "La seule façon d'avoir une idée est de voyager loin du Soleil, de regarder en arrière, et de prendre une image de l'extérieur de l'héliosphère".
Ce n'est pas une tâche facile. Comparé à l'ensemble de la Voie lactée, notre système solaire semble plus petit qu'un grain de riz flottant au milieu du Pacifique. Et pourtant, la limite extérieure de l'héliosphère est encore si lointaine qu'il a fallu plus de 40 ans aux vaisseaux Voyager 1 et Voyager 2 pour l'atteindre en provenance de la Terre.
Voyager 1, qui a emprunté une route plus directe à travers le système solaire, s'est évanoui dans l'espace interstellaire en 2012, avant que Voyager 2 ne le rejoigne en 2018. Actuellement à environ 13 milliards et 11 milliards de kilomètres de la Terre respectivement, ils dérivent maintenant, toujours plus loin dans l'espace au-delà de notre système solaire, en renvoyant plus de données comme ils le font.
NASA/JPL-CALTECH
Le vaisseau spatial Voyager, de la taille d'une voiture, a été lancé en 1977 et renvoie aujourd'hui des données depuis l'espace interstellaire
Ce que ces deux sondes vieillissantes ont révélé sur la frontière entre l'héliosphère et le milieu interstellaire a fourni de nouveaux indices sur la façon dont notre système solaire s'est formé, et comment la vie sur Terre est même possible. Loin d'être une frontière distincte, la limite même de notre système solaire est en fait le siège de champs magnétiques tourbillonnants, de tempêtes de vent stellaire, de tempêtes de particules de haute énergie et de radiations tourbillonnantes.
La taille et la forme de la bulle de l'héliosphère se modifient au fur et à mesure que la production du Soleil change et que nous traversons différentes régions du milieu interstellaire. Lorsque le vent solaire monte ou descend, il modifie la pression exercée sur la bulle vers l'extérieur.
En 2014, l'activité du Soleil a connu une forte hausse, envoyant ce qui équivalait à un ouragan de vent solaire dans l'espace. L'explosion a rapidement balayé Mercure et Vénus à près de 800 km par seconde (497 miles par seconde). Après deux jours et 150 millions de km, il a enveloppé la Terre. Heureusement, le champ magnétique de notre planète nous a protégés de son rayonnement puissant et dommageable.
La rafale a dépassé Mars un jour plus tard et a continué à travers la ceinture d'astéroïdes vers les géantes gazeuses lointaines - Jupiter, Saturne, Uranus et après plus de deux mois, Neptune, qui orbite à près de 4,5 milliards de km du Soleil.
A regarder :
Oubliez tout ce que vous pensiez savoir sur la formation des planètes
Après plus de six mois, le vent a finalement atteint un point situé à plus de 13 milliards de km du Soleil, connu sous le nom de "choc de terminaison". Ici, le champ magnétique du Soleil, qui propulse le vent solaire, devient suffisamment faible pour que le milieu interstellaire puisse le pousser contre lui.
La rafale de vent solaire issue du choc de terminaison se déplace à moins de la moitié de sa vitesse précédente - l'ouragan est alors déclassé en tempête tropicale. Puis, fin 2015, il a dépassé la forme irrégulière de Voyager 2, qui est à peu près de la taille d'une petite voiture. La surcharge de plasma a été détectée par les technologies de détection de Voyager, vieilles de 40 ans, alimentées par une batterie au plutonium se décomposant lentement.
La sonde a renvoyé des données vers la Terre, qui, même à la vitesse de la lumière, a mis 18 heures pour nous atteindre. Les astronomes ne pouvaient recevoir les informations de Voyager que grâce à un réseau massif d'antennes paraboliques de 70 mètres et à une technologie avancée qui n'avait pas été imaginée, et encore moins inventée, lorsque la sonde a quitté la Terre en 1977.
NASA
Le Soleil produit un barrage constant de particules à haute énergie, connu sous le nom de vent solaire, qui peut monter et descendre avec l'activité de notre étoile
La vague de vent solaire a atteint Voyager 2 alors qu'il était encore juste à l'intérieur de notre système solaire. Un peu plus d'un an plus tard, les derniers souffles du vent mourant ont atteint Voyager 1, qui avait traversé l'espace interstellaire en 2012.
Les différentes routes empruntées par les deux sondes signifiaient que l'une se trouvait à environ 30 degrés au-dessus du plan solaire, l'autre à la même hauteur en dessous. Le vent solaire a atteint les sondes dans différentes régions à différents moments, ce qui a fourni des indices utiles sur la nature de l'héliopause.
Les données ont révélé que la limite de turbulence est épaisse de plusieurs millions de kilomètres. Elle couvre des milliards de kilomètres carrés autour de la surface de l'héliosphère.
L'héliosphère est également d'une taille inattendue, ce qui suggère que le milieu interstellaire dans cette partie de la galaxie est moins dense que ce que l'on pensait. Le Soleil se fraye un chemin à travers l'espace interstellaire comme un bateau qui se déplace dans l'eau, créant une "vague de proue" et étirant un sillage derrière lui, éventuellement avec une (ou des) queue(s) de formes similaires à celles des comètes. Les deux voyageurs sont sortis par le "nez" de l'héliosphère, et n'ont donc fourni aucune information sur la queue.
"Selon les estimations des Voyagers, l'héliopause a une épaisseur d'environ une unité astronomique (93 millions de miles, soit la distance moyenne entre la Terre et le Soleil)", explique Mme Provornikova. "Ce n'est pas vraiment une surface. C'est une région avec des processus complexes. Et nous ne savons pas ce qui s'y passe".
Non seulement les vents solaires et interstellaires créent une turbulente lutte à la corde dans la région frontalière, mais les particules semblent échanger leurs charges et leur élan. En conséquence, une partie du milieu interstellaire se transforme en vent solaire, ce qui augmente la poussée de la bulle vers l'extérieur.
Et si une poussée de vent solaire peut fournir des données intéressantes, elle semble avoir un effet étonnamment faible sur la taille et la forme globale de la bulle. Il semble que ce qui se passe en dehors de l'héliosphère importe beaucoup plus que ce qui se passe à l'intérieur. Le vent solaire peut augmenter ou diminuer avec le temps sans avoir l'air d'affecter la bulle de façon dramatique. Mais si cette bulle se déplace dans une région de la galaxie où le vent interstellaire est plus ou moins dense, alors elle va se contracter ou croître.
Mais de nombreuses questions restent sans réponse, y compris celles qui concernent la nature exacte de notre bulle de vent solaire protecteur.
NASA
L'héliosphère du Soleil forme une longue queue lorsqu'il se fraye un chemin à travers le milieu interstellaire lors de son voyage autour de la galaxie
Selon Mme Provornikova, une meilleure compréhension de notre propre héliosphère peut nous permettre de mieux savoir si nous sommes seuls dans l'univers.
"Ce que nous étudions dans notre propre système nous renseignera sur les conditions de développement de la vie dans d'autres systèmes stellaires", dit-elle.
Cela est dû en grande partie au fait qu'en maintenant le milieu interstellaire à distance, le vent solaire empêche également un bombardement de radiations et de particules mortelles de haute énergie - comme les rayons cosmiques - provenant de l'espace lointain. Les rayons cosmiques sont des protons et des noyaux atomiques qui traversent l'espace à une vitesse proche de celle de la lumière. Ils peuvent être générés lorsque les étoiles explosent, lorsque les galaxies s'effondrent en trous noirs et lors d'autres événements cosmiques cataclysmiques. La région située à l'extérieur de notre système solaire est épaisse d'une pluie continue de ces particules subatomiques à grande vitesse, qui seraient assez puissantes pour provoquer un empoisonnement par radiation mortel sur une planète moins abritée.
"Voyager a définitivement dit que 90% de ces radiations sont filtrées par le Soleil", explique Jamie Rankin, chercheur en héliophysique à l'université de Princeton, et première personne à écrire une thèse de doctorat basée sur les données interstellaires des Voyager. "Si le vent solaire ne nous protégeait pas, je ne sais pas si nous serions en vie."
Trois autres sondes de la NASA rejoindront bientôt les Voyagers dans l'espace interstellaire, bien que deux d'entre elles soient déjà à court d'énergie et aient cessé de renvoyer des données. Ces quelques minuscules piqûres dans la frontière géante ne fourniront jamais que des informations limitées par elles-mêmes. Heureusement, des observations plus étendues peuvent être faites plus près de chez nous.
L'International Boundary Explorer (Ibex) de la NASA, un minuscule satellite en orbite autour de la Terre depuis 2008, détecte des particules appelées "atomes neutres énergétiques" qui traversent la frontière interstellaire. Ibex crée des cartes en trois dimensions des interactions qui se produisent tout autour de la bordure de l'héliosphère.
NASA
La mission Ibex a détecté un ruban d'atomes à haute énergie qui sont réfléchis par le champ magnétique galactique depuis le bord de l'héliosphère
On peut considérer les cartes des Ibex comme une sorte de "radar Doppler" et les Voyagers comme des stations météo sur le terrain", dit Rankin. Elle a utilisé les données des Voyagers, des Ibex et d'autres sources pour analyser les petites poussées du vent solaire, et travaille actuellement sur un document basé sur l'explosion beaucoup plus importante qui a commencé en 2014. Déjà, les preuves montrent que l'héliosphère se rétrécissait lorsque Voyager 1 a franchi la frontière, mais qu'elle s'étendait à nouveau lorsque Voyager 2 a traversé.
"C'est une frontière assez dynamique", dit-elle. "C'est assez étonnant que cette découverte ait été saisie dans les cartes 3D d'Ibex, qui nous ont permis de suivre les réactions locales des Voyagers en même temps."
Ibex a révélé à quel point la frontière peut être dynamique. Dès la première année, il a détecté un ruban géant d'atomes énergétiques qui serpentait à travers la frontière et qui changeait au fil du temps, avec des caractéristiques qui apparaissaient et disparaissaient en six mois seulement. Le ruban s'avère être une région au nez de l'héliosphère où les particules du vent solaire rebondissent sur le champ magnétique galactique et sont réfléchies dans le système solaire.
NASA/JPL-CALTECH/GSFC
Lorsque Voyager 2 a quitté le système solaire, il a détecté un pic spectaculaire des rayons cosmiques dont l'héliosphère nous protège
Mais il y a un rebondissement dans l'histoire du Voyager. Bien qu'ils aient quitté l'héliosphère, ils sont encore à portée de beaucoup d'autres influences de notre Soleil. La lumière du Soleil, par exemple, serait visible à l'œil nu depuis d'autres étoiles. La gravité de notre étoile s'étend également bien au-delà de l'héliosphère, maintenant en place une sphère lointaine et éparse de glace, de poussière et de débris spatiaux, connue sous le nom de nuage de Oort.
Les objets de Oort sont toujours en orbite autour du Soleil, même s'ils flottent loin dans l'espace interstellaire. Alors que certaines comètes ont des orbites qui s'étendent jusqu'au nuage de Oort, une région de 186 à 930 milliards de miles (300 à 1500 milliards de km) est généralement considérée comme trop éloignée pour que nous puissions y envoyer nos propres sondes.
Ces objets éloignés ont à peine changé depuis le début du système solaire et peuvent être la clé de tout, de la formation des planètes à la probabilité que la vie se développe dans notre univers. Et avec chaque vague de nouvelles données, de nouveaux mystères et de nouvelles questions émergent également.
NASA/JPL-CALTECH
Voyager 1 a traversé l'espace interstellaire en 2012 100 unités astronomiques depuis le Soleil mais il a toujours le vaste nuage de Oort devant lui
Selon Mme Provornikova, il pourrait y avoir une couverture d'hydrogène couvrant une partie ou la totalité de l'héliosphère, dont les effets n'ont pas encore été décryptés. En outre, l'héliosphère semble se transformer en un nuage interstellaire de particules et de poussières, vestiges d'anciens événements cosmiques dont les effets sur la frontière - et sur ceux d'entre nous qui y vivent - n'ont pas été prédits.
"Cela pourrait changer les dimensions de l'héliosphère, elle pourrait changer sa forme", dit Mme Provornikova. "Elle pourrait avoir des températures différentes, des champs magnétiques différents, une ionisation différente et tous ces paramètres différents. C'est très excitant parce que c'est un domaine qui a fait l'objet de nombreuses découvertes, et nous en savons si peu sur cette interaction entre notre étoile et la galaxie locale".
Quoi qu'il arrive, deux assortiments de métal de la taille d'une voiture, boulonnés à de petites boîtes paraboliques - les intrépides sondes Voyager - seront l'avant-garde de notre système solaire, révélant toujours plus de choses sur ce territoire étrange et inexploré alors que nous avançons dans l'espace.

Real UFO Appears On Live TV On A Huge Screen And The Presenter Is Stunned
Real UFO Appears On Live TV On A Huge Screen And The Presenter Is Stunned
This is what Argentinians call a real Ovni (UFO) sighting as it appears on Live TV on the news channel. Ovni if you don't know, means UFO. (Please stay at home).
You can hear the news reporter (male) saying Ovni, Ovni. The female news reader is the first one to actually point out the Ovni (which means UFO in Spanish) and she then enthusiastically starts pointing to it. The TV screen is so big, she's literally climbing on the screen pointing at it enthusiastically - so you cannot miss it.
This is the moment when the female news reporter notices the UFO:
The UFO is metallic and it's a sphere. The Ovni is hovering but then it starts to drift or fly away to the left of the screen and what a big screen that it so we get to see this UFO in detail.
If it was a "normal everyday screen" this probably wouldn't of been picked up (maybe) as it would probably be a bit to small to see?
Instinctively she points to it:
But it's a great encounter as it is Live TV in Argentina "on the news" and these are the best ones just like NASA's Live TV but the difference between both is that the NASA cut the Live feed - whereas the camera crew on the news just point and shout Ovni, Ovni.
This is what you'd expect NASA to do and zoom in, have a scientist on stand by to give us a quick analysis of the sight to behold - but instead they cut the feed and make contact on every known channel all by themselves in secrecy and every known frequency is used to get contact with the Alien occupants, hoping for a response. Here is the amazing UFO Ovni for all to see on Live TV:
That's what NASA does, you think the UFO goes away when they cut the feed, no it doesn't. It docks with the ISS as that's where the Live feed is usually and they have a cup of English tea. Maybe they have a scone or a rich tea biscuit. Who knows what they do after the cameras are cut is what I mean. The news crew acted very typical of a surprised people, they acted correct and that's why I know this wasn't scripted. You really see the surprise especially with the woman. I know if it's Live TV then someone could literally have a drone on stand by and fly it in to the shot once it is definitely on the telly right then. The video to the amazing daytime UFO encounter on Live TV over Argentina:
But that's highly unlikely as well, it's just improbable as I don't know of any instances of this ever happening and I've done a lot of research? If you know of a staged UFO sighting on Live TV please share it us here at USF, thank you. NASA should take a lesson from this and at least inspect the strange UFOs or zoom in and talk about the anomaly in the screen, instead of turning the screen off. It's almost like you can hear them say "nothing to see here, move along".
Please be safe in these troubling times. Especially the vulnerable people and the elderly people who are most at risk of the virus. I wish you, our loyal fans and followers a very, very safe time. Be with family and friends, stay at home and let's all get the time to reflect on the situation that's facing all of the world? We will always be a strong human race, no matter what happens. Source
Cette exoplanète « barbe à papa » remet en question les conceptions des astronomes
Cette exoplanète « barbe à papa » remet en question les conceptions des astronomes
Nathalie Mayer / Journaliste
[EN VIDÉO] Interview : les exoplanètes sont-elles habitées ?Il pourrait y avoir au moins 100 milliards de planètes simplement dans notre galaxie. Difficile d’imaginer qu’aucune ne puisse abriter la vie. Le Cnes a interviewé Michel Viso, responsable des programmes d’exobiologie, afin qu’il nous parle des conditions d'apparition de la vie dans l'univers.
En observant notre Système solaire, les astronomes se sont fait une idée de la manière dont les planètes se forment. Ainsi, pensaient-ils, les planètes géantes doivent s'appuyer sur un cœur solide relativement massif. Pensaient-ils... car des observations réalisées sur une exoplanète baptisée Wasp-107b viennent aujourd'hui remettre cette conclusion en question.
Rappelons que Wasp-107b est une planète atypique. Elle a été découverte en 2017, à environ 212 années-lumière de notre Terre, dans la constellation de la Vierge. Elle est presque aussi grande que Jupiter, mais sa masse est largement inférieure. Wasp-107b est ce que les astronomes appellent une planète « barbe à papa ». Et son orbite est par ailleurs proche de son étoile, seize fois plus que notre Terre l'est du Soleil. Elle en fait le tour en 5,7 de nos jours seulement. Si bien qu'elle a du mal à retenir son atmosphère.
Grâce aux données obtenues à l'observatoire Keck (Hawaï), les chercheurs de l'université de Montréal ont pu mesurer avec précision le mouvement d'oscillation de son étoile hôte en raison de l'attraction gravitationnelle de Wasp-107b. Ils ont ainsi établi sa masse à environ le dixième de celle de Jupiter.
Un noyau incroyablement peu massif
Les astronomes ont ensuite effectué une analyse pour déterminer la structure interne de la planète. Leur conclusion : la masse du noyau solide de Wasp-107b ne doit pas dépasser quatre fois celle de la Terre. Ainsi donc, plus de 85 % de la masse de la planète se situerait dans l'épaisse couche de gaz qui entoure ce noyau. C'est étonnant. Car il faut savoir que Neptune, par exemple -- dont la masse se rapproche de celle de Wasp-107b -- ne présente pas plus de 15 % de sa masse dans cette couche de gaz.
Jusqu'ici, les chercheurs pensaient qu'un noyau relativement massif était indispensable à la formation de géantes gazeuses. Une condition sans laquelle la planète ne pourrait pas retenir autant de couches de gaz. Mais cette découverte concernant Wasp-107b laisse penser que les planètes géantes se forment beaucoup plus facilement que ne le pensaient les astronomes. Celle-ci en particulier pourrait s'être formée à distance de son étoile -- où le gaz est suffisamment froid pour faciliter l'accrétion -- avant de migrer jusqu'à sa position actuelle.
Le saviez-vous ?
Les chercheurs ont également découvert une compagne à Wasp-107b : Wasp-107c. Sa masse est le tiers de celle de Jupiter et elle fait le tour de son étoile en trois de nos années. Sur une orbite particulièrement excentrique qui laisse supposer un passé chaotique. Et conforte l’idée d’une migration de Wasp-107b vers son étoile hôte.
D'autres questions restent encore en suspens concernant Wasp-107b. L'atmosphère de ce type de planète, par exemple, devrait être riche en méthane. Or les observations deHubble, réalisées en 2018, semblent montrer le contraire. Les chercheurs comptent désormais analyser de nouveau ces résultats à la lumière de leurs nouvelles conclusions concernant la répartition de la masse de l'exoplanète. Et peut-être découvrir quel mécanisme pourrait expliquer une telle destruction de méthane.

A redshift reveals how an object is moving in space and enables astronomers to discover otherwise-invisible planets and the movements of galaxies, and to uncover the beginnings of our universe.
Astronomers use redshifts to measure how the universe is expanding, and thus to determine the distance to our universe’s most distant (and therefore oldest) objects. What is a redshift? It’s often compared to the high-pitched whine of an ambulance siren coming at you, which drops in pitch as the ambulance moves past you and then away from you. That change in the sound of an ambulance is due to what’s called the Doppler effect. It’s a good comparison because both sound and light travel in waves, which are affected by their movement through air and space.
Sound can only move so fast through the air; sound travels at about 750 miles (1,200 kilometers) per hour. As an ambulance races forward and blares its siren, the sound waves in front of the ambulance get squished together. Meanwhile, the sound waves behind the ambulance get spread out. This means the frequency of the sound waves is higher ahead of the ambulance (more sound waves will strike a listener’s ear, over a set amount of time) and lower behind it (fewer sound waves will strike a listener’s ear, over a set amount of time). Our brains interpret changes in the frequency of sound waves as changes in pitch.
Like sound, light is also a wave traveling at a fixed speed: 186,000 miles (300,000 km) per second, or some one billion kilometers per hour. Light, therefore, plays by similar rules as sound.
But, in the case of light, we perceive changes in wave frequency as changes in color, not changes in pitch.
As a vehicle moves, sound waves in front of it get squished up while those behind get spread out. This changes the perceived frequency and we hear the pitch change as the vehicle goes by.

Similar to sounds from a moving vehicle, as a star moves away from us, the light becomes redder. As it moves towards us, the light becomes bluer.

For example, if a lightbulb were to move very rapidly through space, the light would appear blue as it approaches you and then become red after it passes. Measuring such slight changes in the frequency of light lets astronomers measure the speed – and therefore the distance – of everything in the universe! That’s true because the faster an object moves away from us, the farther away it is.
Thus, in our expanding universe, a measurement of speed translates to a measurement of distance.
Here’s a recent example. Astronomers said in early January 2020 that the most distant quasar known at this time – quasar J0313-1806 – has a record-setting redshift of z = 7.64. In accordance with astronomers’ interpretations of redshift, we’re seeing quasar J0313-1806 – a highly luminous galaxy nucleus in the early universe, thought to be powered by a supermassive black hole – just 670 million years after the Big Bang, or more than 13 billion light-years away.
Or consider an even more distant object, not a very bright quasar, but instead just a regular galaxy in the early universe. GN-z11 is a high-redshift galaxy found in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. GN-z11 is currently the oldest and most distant known galaxy in the observable universe, with a redshift of z = 11.09. That redshift corresponds to a distance of 13.4 billion light-years. So we see this object as it existed 13.4 billion years ago, just 400 million years after the Big Bang.
The object in the inset is currently the most distant known galaxy, called GN-z11. Its name is derived from its location in the GOODS-North field of galaxies – captured by the Hubble Space Telescope – and its high cosmological redshift number (GN + z11). It’s thought this galaxy will remain the most distant galaxy known until the James Webb Space Telescope is launched, hopefully in late 2021, and begins observing at even greater distances.
Of course, making these measurements is a bit trickier than just saying “that star looks redder than it should be.” Instead, astronomers make use of markers in the spectrum of starlight. This is the study of spectroscopy. If you shine a flashlight beam through a prism, a rainbow comes out the other side. But if you place a clear container filled with hydrogen gas between the flashlight and the prism, gaps appear in the smooth rainbow of colors, places where the light literally goes missing.
The dark absorption lines of a star at rest (left) get shifted towards red if the star is moving away from Earth (right).
Image via Wikipedia.
The hydrogen atoms are tuned to absorb very specific frequencies of light. When a beam of light consisting of many colors passes through the gas, those frequencies get removed – absorbed – from the beam. The rainbow becomes littered with what astronomers call absorption lines. Replace the hydrogen with helium, and you get a completely different pattern of absorption lines. Every atom and molecule has a distinct absorption fingerprint that allows astronomers to tease out the chemical makeup of distant stars and galaxies.
When we pass starlight through a prism (or similar device suitable for telescopes, such as diffraction gratings), we see a forest of absorption lines from hydrogen, helium, sodium, and so on. However, if that star is hurtling away from us, all those absorption lines undergo a Doppler shift and move toward the red part of the rainbow. This is what we call a redshift. For stars heading toward us, the opposite happens, and the lines are shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum; they are blueshifted (generally, astronomers only use the term redshift to simplify things, and just put a negative sign in front of it if it’s a blueshift).
By measuring how far away the lines are located from where they’re supposed to be in the spectrum, astronomers can calculate the speed of a star or a galaxy relative to Earth, and even how a galaxy rotates: by measuring a different redshift for one side of the galaxy compared to the other, you can see which side is moving away from you and which side is moving toward you.
With this tool, the motion of the universe is revealed and a host of new questions can be investigated.
And galaxies aren’t the only things that can be investigated with redshifts. Astronomers have learned to tease out the subtle tug of a distant planet on its parent star, thus revealing the planet to astronomers. If a star in our Milky Way galaxy has a hidden planet – and if astronomers see that the star sometimes exhibits a slight redshift and other times a slight blueshift – the astronomers infer that star is alternating between moving toward and away from us. They refer to this movement as a “wobble” of the star in space. Something must be pulling on the star, causing it to wobble. By measuring how far the absorption lines shift, an astronomer can determine the mass of the invisible companion and its distance from the star, and come to the conclusion that a planet is in orbit around the star!
As a planet orbits a star, it tugs the star back and forth with tiny movements. Astronomers see the star wobbling as an alternating red and blueshift of its spectrum.
Image via ESO.
In addition to finding other worlds, redshifts also led to one of the most important discoveries of the 20th century. In the 1910s, astronomers at Lowell Observatory and elsewhere noticed that the light from nearly every galaxy was redshifted: most galaxies in the universe were racing away from us! A Belgian scientist, Georges Lemaître, who was also a priest, recognized that the recession velocities of the galaxies could be explained by a startling truth: the universe is expanding! In 1929, American astronomer Edwin Hubble matched up redshifts with distance estimates to the galaxies and uncovered something remarkable: the farther away a galaxy, the faster it’s receding. This relation, the Hubble law, was renamed in 2018 by the International Astronomical Union to the Hubble–Lemaître law.
What came to be known as the cosmological redshift was the first piece of the Big Bang theory, and ultimately a description of the origin of our universe.
The list of the most distant astronomical objects is always changing as astronomers find higher and higher redshifted objects on the brink of the observable universe. Galaxies, quasars and even gamma-ray bursts travel for eons across the cosmos, delivering their faint red light, and revealing a little more of the secrets of the universe.
Edwin Hubble and colleagues found a correlation between distance to a galaxy (horizontal axis) and how quickly it’s moving away from Earth (vertical axis). The movement of galaxies in a nearby cluster adds some “noise” to this plot.

Bottom line: A redshift reveals how an object in space (star/planet/galaxy) is moving compared to us. It lets astronomers measure a distance for the most distant (and therefore oldest) objects in our universe.
SATURN'S MOON RHEA HAS A MYSTERIOUS MATERIAL ON ITS SURFACE
SATURN'S MOON RHEA HAS A MYSTERIOUS MATERIAL ON ITS SURFACE
A NEW STUDY REVEALS A CURIOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SATURN'S MOON RHEA AND ITS NEIGHBOR, TITAN.
THE SECOND LARGEST
planet of the Solar System, Saturn is adorned by icy rings and orbited by a veritable swarm of some 80 moons.
These satellites have their own unique properties, some so unusual and intriguing that they stand out from other lunar bodies found throughout the Solar System, including our own natural companion, the Moon.
One of these strange celestial bodies is Saturn's second largest moon, Rhea. The moon may be a cold, airless object, but it also possesses three narrow, dense rings — a mirror of its host planet. These rings are the first ever discovered around a moon. Rhea's unique features do not end there, however — previous spectroscopy studies had hinted at an unidentifiable substance on the moon's surface.
And now, old Cassini data may resolve this longstanding lunar mystery.
The new findings are detailed in a study published Friday in the journal Science Advances.
HERE'S THE BACKGROUND
Rhea is the second largest moon in orbit around Saturn — with a radius spanning 475 miles. The moon is tidally locked around Saturn, meaning that one side of Rhea constantly faces the large planet. It completes an entire orbit of the gas giant in 4.5 Earth days.
Rhea is a cold, harsh world. Its temperatures range from -281 degrees Fahrenheit on sunlit areas, to -364 degrees Fahrenheit on its dark side. In keeping with the cool temperatures, the moon is largely made up of water ice.
The mystery of Rhea's surface began decades ago, when NASA's Cassini spacecraft flew by Rhea as part of its mission to explore Saturn and its moons. Cassini performed a spectrographic analysis, collecting ultraviolet imaging data of the moon and its chemical make-up, confirming that its surface was made up of ice. But the data also showed evidence of an unidentifiable material.

HOW THEY DID IT
Bhalamurugan Sivaraman is an associate professor at the Physical Research Laboratory in India and co-author of the new study. He tells Inverse his team sought to investigate the chemical nature of this mysterious signal. To do that, the team turned back to the original Cassini data.
"We used data from the Cassini archive in order to understand exactly what's going on," Sivaraman says.
The team reanalyzed the data collected by one of Cassini's Rhea flybys, and ran experiments here on Earth to see if they could identify the chemical make-up of the molecules which produced the unknown absorption band.
The team behind the new study analyzed the data collected by Cassini's Rhea flyby, and ran lab experiments to test out different molecules and see which one would have produced the unknown signal.
Cassini detected an unidentifiable wavelength coming from Rhea, which scientists could not previously explain.Elowitz et. al
WHAT THEY FOUND
By running through possible candidates, the researchers eventually hit on the likely culprit: Hydrazine. This is the first time the compound has ever been detected on a moon, according to the study.
"When we did the experiment for hydrazine, it was a match," Sivaraman says.
Hydrazine is an inorganic compound, a colorless liquid with the same pungent smell as ammonia. Here on Earth, it is used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a propellant for spacecraft.
To understand where the hydrazine could've come from, Sivaraman and his colleagues essentially tried to recreate Rhea's surface conditions in the lab.
Curiously, these simulations suggest Rhea's lunar neighbor, Titan, Saturn's largest moon, may be have to do with the presence of hydrazine. Titan may be emitting nitrogen molecules towards Rhea, which would then interact with the radiation on the moon to convert nitrogen into hydrazine, the researchers suggest.
This kind of interaction between two moons is a rarity in our Solar System. But considering how large Titan is, it is likely the moon would exert some influence over its surrounding objects, Sivaraman explains.
The cratered plains of Saturn's moon Rhea are visible in this image obtained by NASA's Cassinispacecraft on Nov. 21, 2009.
Considering this is the first detection of hydrazine on a moon, the team behind the study want to further observe other moons to see if hydrazine forms anywhere else in the Solar System. They also suspect there may be more as-yet unknown chemistry waiting to be discovered, too.
"This particular work helps us identify another molecule, which we didn’t know existed before," Sivaraman says.
"We would like to look for molecules that are being absorbed in other wavelengths as well."
Abstract:
We present the first analysis of far-ultraviolet reflectance spectra of regions on Rhea’s leading and trailing hemispheres collected by the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph during targeted flybys. In particular, we aim to explain the unidentified broad absorption feature centred near 184 nm. We have used laboratory measurements of the UV spectroscopy of a set of candidate molecules and found a good fit to Rhea’s spectra with both hydrazine monohydrate and several chlorine-containing molecules. Given the radiation-dominated chemistry on the surface of icy satellites embedded within their planets’ magnetospheres, hydrazine monohydrate is argued to be the most plausible candidate for explaining the absorption feature at 184 nm. Hydrazine was also used as a propellant in Cassini’s thrusters, but the thrusters were not used during icy satellite flybys and thus the signal is believed to not arise from spacecraft fuel. We discuss how hydrazine monohydrate may be chemically produced on icy surfaces.

NASA's cassini spacecraft has discovered oxygen and carbon dioxide on Saturn's moon Rhea. NASA's Cassini spacecraft has detected a very tenuous atmosphere known as an exosphere, infused with oxygen and carbon dioxide around Saturn's icy moon Rhea. This is the first time a spacecraft has directly captured molecules of an oxygen atmosphere -- albeit a very thin one -- at a world other than Earth.
Egypt was first ruled by beings who came down from heaven 5,300 years ago. They were gods like Set, Tot, Osiris, Horus Scorpion, and Horus Ka.
The pre-pharaonic period of Ancient Egypt is one of the enigmas of history. Despite the historical controversy regarding the existence of gods , ancient texts say that these powerful beings who “came from above” were the first rulers , before the first “human” pharaoh.
Historians have concluded that the first pharaoh was King Menes-Narmer , who established his rule in 3100 BC. C. Archaic history is more mysterious.
Archaic epoch with star gods pharaohs
The ancient history of Menes-Narmer’s predecessors is diffuse, and for this reason it is considered as a mythological dynasty . It is the so-called Protodynamic Period or Dynasty 0 .
The Egyptian gods were these first rulers , enigmatic beings of extraterrestrial character . They may have traveled from the constellation Orion , as they were associated with those distant stars.
According to Plutarch: Ra left for the heavens and Osiris became pharaoh of Egypt together with Isis and they built Thebes [present-day Luxor] ”.
From ancient texts it follows that Ra, Osiris, Isis, Thoth, and Horus were the most prominent ruling deities of this time of Ancient Egypt. The Royal Papyrus of Turin or List of Kings of Turin is a document that lists all the pharaohs.
By some estimates, these entire lineages would have lasted 13,000 years! Before 3,100 BC It has also been stated that Ptah was the first pharaoh in history .
Pharaoh Horus and “incarnations” of him
As we saw, Horus is among the main proto-dynastic pharaohs. The Palermo Stele says that it reigned millennia ago. There are also “incarnations” of this deity , (half divine and half human, perhaps? As hybrids ? ). Among them are names like Horus Scorpion I, Double Falcon and Horus Crocodile .
Another incarnation is Horus Ka , who reigned a generation before Menes / Narmer. Ka was buried in a double grave at Abydos . In finds from his tomb there are sherds with hieroglyphics of two raised hands . This sign was called “ka” and means “soul . ” Ka was the first pharaoh to adopt that hieroglyph and with a falcon on it .
Because of the powerful quality, either supernatural or technological , of the Egyptian gods, historians of the mainstream ( mainstream ) have never promoted the veracity of the story governments. Perhaps they were not mythological and in fact they reigned in person in Egypt .

At around 11:45 AM On September 15, 2007, the residents of the village of Carancas in the remote highlands of Peru, near the Bolivian border and Lake Titicaca, had their normally quiet, uneventful day intruded upon by the sight of a fiery ball shooting across the sky trailing smoke, bright enough to be seen for miles around despite it being the middle of the day. It was quite the spectacle for the rural, superstitious locals, and it became even more intense when the object smacked down into the earth nearby, generating a mushroom shaped cloud and leaving behind a crater measuring 20 feet deep and 45 feet wide, from which spewed boiling water and noxious fumes, the whole of it surrounded by smoking black fragments. The impact from the object was so strong that the shockwave shattered windows up to one kilometer away, damaged buildings, knocked a man off of his bicycle, and its vibrations were picked up on seismographic and infrasound monitoring equipment as far away as Bolivia. It would have seemed almost like a catastrophic event for the scared locals, and they even thought it might be an attack. Yet it would get stranger still, as this particular meteorite would prove to have some strange properties, and it would go on to spark a mysterious illness that remains unsolved.
When officials and scientists arrived at the scene, they quickly ascertained that this was a large meteorite that had hit, estimated as being about 10 feet across, weighing12 tons, and hitting the earth at roughly 10,000 miles per hour. It was found to have been a chondrite meteorite, likely pulled from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and although it was one of the largest meteorite impacts in modern history, considering its composition it was a puzzle as to why the thing had not burned up in the atmosphere. Indeed, for a chondrite meteorite such an impact and crater were deemed to be practically impossible, with Peter Schultz, a professor of geological sciences saying of it, “This meteor crashed into the Earth at three kilometers per second, exploded, and buried itself into the ground. Carancas simply should not have happened.” Indeed, the impact at Carancas is still classified as the only known such impact by a chondrite meteorite. It was also considered strange that the meteorite had hit so hot and with such fumes, rare for meteorite strikes, which actually hit quite cool and have no odor typically. But wait, it gets even weirder.
The impact site
In the days after the mysterious meteorite strike, many of the locals who had come to investigate right after it hit, numbering in the hundreds, began to come down with a mysterious illness. The unexplained sickness brought with it various symptoms including dermal injuries, rashes, nosebleeds, dizziness, nausea, headaches, diarrhea and vomiting, and soon the local hospital was packed with people suffering from the mysterious ailments, for which no cause could be discerned. So many people were being admitted, in fact, that auxiliary medical tents were set up to deal with the influx, and no one had any idea what was causing it. There were also reports that livestock were falling sick as well, with many of them bleeding from their noses and even dying. The government even considered declaring a state of emergency, but then a few days later everyone recovered as if nothing had happened.
Although the exact cause of the mysterious symptoms could not be determined even with blood tests, it was widely agreed that it had had something to do with the meteorite, as most people had begun to get sick just hours after approaching it. One theory was that the ground water had been contaminated somehow, but if that were the case, then why did the sickness only affect people and animals that had been near the meteorite impact? Another idea was that arsenic already present in the groundwater had been released as an aerosol by the steaming meteor, but the arsenic in the water was found to have been the same level as that of the drinking water in the rest of the areas where people did not get sick. It was also speculated that it had had something to do with the strong smell of sulfur reported near the crater, likely caused by the vaporization of a compound called troilite within the meteorite. Radiation was also considered, but soon ruled out when the readings from the crater were found to be no higher than normal. It could also have been a gas explosion or some unidentified hydrothermal activity, and Don Yeomans, head of the Near Earth Object Program at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, has said of the mystery illness:
Statistically, it’s far more likely to have come from below than from above. The noxious fumes that have supposedly sickened curious locals who went to examine the crater would seem to indicate hydrothermal activity, such as a local gas explosion, because meteorites don’t give off odors.
The Carancas crater
Still another idea was that it was all psychosomatic, caused merely by the superstitious beliefs of the populous, who believed that it had come from the gods, was cursed, or was some supernatural portent of doom. The mayor of the village even had a shaman come to the impact site in order to perform a ritual to appease fears, going as far as to sacrifice a baby llama in the process. Fragments of the meteorite have been kept and studied, but they are completely normal, and there is no indication for why this particular event should have created such a sickness. To this day the mystery of the Carancas meteorite has never really been completely solved, and we are left to wonder just what was going on here.

Sometimes, when I’m being interviewed on the matter of the Men in Black, I find that show-hosts want me to avoid talking about the paranormal aspects of the MIB mystery. Yes, really. Why? What I can say for sure is that at least some hosts seem embarrassed by the weirder side of the phenomenon. Too bad for them. I can only tell them as it is. The fact is, though, the “Secret Agent” angle of it all is about as far from the reality of the mystery than you, me, or anyone else could ever get. Indeed, the guy who began the whole MIB mystery – Albert Bender – was absolutely steeped in the worlds of the paranormal, the occult, and the supernatural. John Keel, too – of The Mothman Prophecies – quickly realized the Men in Black were not in the employ of the CIA, FBI, Military Intelligence, etc. They were way too strange and obviously non-human. They still are (yes, I still get a lot of MIB accounts to this day).
I find it fascinating that some people outright want to almost rewrite the history of the real Men in Black. That’s why I feel it’s important to let them know they’re talking out of their collective asses. For a lot of people in Ufology, bringing in the domain of the occult is similar to those Cryptozoologists who get mad when someone (like me, LOL) says Bigfoot is a shape-shifting Tulpa that can become invisible! I could go on and on when it comes to the weirder side of the MIB controversy. There’s a better way of getting the message over, though. It’s by sharing with you a classic, perfect example of why the MIB are far removed from the worlds of the Pentagon or Area 51.
Alison Spence, who I interviewed in 2013, had a very strange encounter with a Man in Black back in the latter part of 1973, when she was living in Pasadena, California. It’s notable, and probably relevant, for me to reveal that a major UFO wave was going on at that time, and all across the United States. While hiking in the California hills one Sunday morning, Alison encountered a classic, silver-colored flying saucer-style UFO which, at first, at least, was high in the sky. Suddenly, it dropped to around fifty or sixty above her, hanging there in an odd, wobbling fashion. Amazed, Alison could only stare as the silent craft bobbed around – like a boat on churning waters – and then shot away at high speed. Alison raced home and excitedly told her family of what had just taken place. They, apparently, weren’t the only ones who knew what had occurred on the fateful morning in 1973. Three days later, and after sunset, Alison had a visitor. Not a welcome one, I should stress. It was a Man in Black, a skinny – almost emaciated – old man, dressed in a shabby black suit, looking pale and ill, and wearing an old, 1950s-style fedora hat.
Alison said that she felt her mind was briefly enslaved, as the MIB near-hypnotically asked her to invite him into her home. In a slight daze, and to her eternal cost, she did exactly that. She retreated to the couch, stumbling slightly and feeling ice-cold. The old man followed her, and stood in the living-room, looming over her, as he warned her – in no uncertain terms – never to discuss her close encounter again. Ever. The MIB then turned around and headed to the door. At that exact same moment, Alison felt her mental faculties return to normal and she raced after him, just as he exited the door and closed it behind him. Alison threw the door open wide, only to find the old Man in Black gone. In his place, however, was something else: it was a large, black dog with bright red eyes. It snapped and snarled in Alison’s direction and in what was clearly a deeply malevolent, dangerous fashion.
Alison stared in horror as the glowing-eyed monster prowled around the yard, clearly intent on adding to the malevolent atmosphere that was already firmly in place. Suddenly, and as if out of nowhere, a large, black Cadillac – that looked decades-old in design – appeared and screeched to a halt outside of Alison’s home. It should be noted, here, that the MIB almost always drive such cars of that particular type, age and color. Alison watched, shocked and scared, as the back door on the driver’s-side opened and the fiendish black hound bounded across the front yard and leapt into the back of the Cadillac, which shot away at high speed!
Is it possible that some UFO encounters might not be what they initially appear to be – namely face to face confrontations with extraterrestrials from faraway worlds? Might they actually be carefully stage-managed, manipulated events? Perhaps our presumed aliens are, in reality, shapeshifters from our world; entities that toy with our minds and assume the roles and even the appearances of ETs. Today, when people ponder on the matter of extraterrestrial encounters, they typically think of so-called alien abductions and the Grays, those diminutive, large-headed entities with eerie, black eyes that are near-hypnotic in nature. Back in the latter part of the 1940s and the early 1950s, however, things were very different. Infinitely different, even. Back then, the Grays were in the sights of precisely no-one at all. That’s not to say people weren’t encountering aliens, however. They most assuredly were. Back then, however, they were known as the Space Brothers.
They were very human-looking aliens – sometimes slightly shorter in stature than us, and occasionally reaching heights of around seven feet. They wore long robes, or silver-outfits similar to the clothing worn by fighter-pilots. And their message was always the same: they were deeply concerned by our growing nuclear arsenals and wished us to lay down our weapons and live in peace and harmony with one another – some chance of that happening any time soon. Among the more well-known of all the Contactees were George Adamski (whose 1952 book, Flying Saucers Have Landed, became a huge hit with not just UFO devotees but with the public, too), George Van Tassel (who attracted significant FBI attention as a result of his UFO claims), and Frank Stranges, who maintained that human-like ETs had infiltrated the Pentagon. And then there were the lesser known Contactees, one of whom is central to the story that this particular article is focused on. His name was Orfeo Angelucci.
George Van Tassel’s legendary Integratron (Nick Redfern)
Although a fairly minor cog in the Contactee wheel, Angelucci wrote a number of well-received books, even though they failed to sell in large quantities. They included The Secret of the Saucers and Son of the Sun. The nature of Angelucci’s experiences will soon become very familiar to you. According to the man himself – who was born in 1912 and who worked for a New Jersey-based flooring company – it was in 1946 that his experiences of the other world variety began, something which Angelucci reveals in Son of the Sun. Angelucci had a big interest in science and aviation and, in August 1946, launched a large balloon array into the skies of Trenton, New Jersey. They were balloons filled with different kinds of mold – the reason being to determine if mold was affected by exposure to different altitudes, temperatures, and air pressure. Angelucci further maintained that it was this experience which caught the attention of the Space Brothers, and who specifically chose him to further their agenda on our planet.
Although Angelucci claimed numerous encounters with the cosmic brothers (and sisters, too), it was not so much the encounters, themselves, that were overly significant, but the means by which the entities from the stars manifested before him. It’s important to note that although Angelucci stressed it was in the summer of 1946 that aliens first took note of his work with high-altitude balloons, it was not until 1952 that the cosmic ones met with him, face to face. By this time, Angelucci had moved to California; specifically to Los Angeles. May 23, 1952 was the day – or, rather, the night – on which everything changed for Angelucci. It started out as a strange day – even before the ETs arrived on the scene. From the moment he woke up, Angelucci felt agitated, worried, and had a strange sense that the day was going to turn out very weird. He was right on target.
At the time, Angelucci was employed by the Lockheed Corporation – which, interestingly enough, George Van Tassel had also been employed at, albeit in the 1940s – and was working a night-shift. It was shortly after midnight on the evening in question that Angelucci got in his car and drove home. He didn’t know it then, but he was about to have a detour, and an experience, of a very weird kind. It was as Angelucci crossed a bridge over the Los Angeles River – a bridge that was eerily empty of any other vehicles, at the time – that he caught sight of a large, blue-colored ball of light that was clearly shadowing him. The beach-ball sized circle of light took a sudden turn, appearing directly in front of Angelucci’s car. Shocked to the core, Angelucci slowed his car to practically walking pace, and watched, amazed, as two small, green balls of light emerged from the larger one and floated towards him.
Via telepathy a booming voice informed Angelucci that he had indeed been watched ever since the day of that fateful balloon launch back in 1946. Angelucci was about to ask a question when the two balls closed in on each other, and eventually merging into one, larger, green light. In mere seconds, the ball changed into the disembodied images of a man and a woman – or, as Angelucci came to learn – the floating heads of a pair of aliens who could pass for you or I. Like so many of the Contactees, Angelucci was asked – in a noticeable and slightly bullying and patronizing fashion – to spread the word of the supposedly utterly benevolent ETs. “We’ll be back,” they said, when all was over, and in slightly Arnold Schwarzenegger-fashion. The ball of light raced into the sky and Angelucci, a nervous character at the best of times, raced home.
The aliens were good to their word and arranged a following meeting – again late at night – under Los Angeles’ Hyperion Avenue Freeway Bridge. As Angelucci patiently waited, he finally noticed a pair of small balls of green light approaching through the darkness. They were coming. The lights transformed into one single light, described by the man of the hour as something resembling a huge “soap bubble” that gave off a “pale glow.” A chummy chat about the Universe, destiny, life, death, and even the afterlife followed – although the chat was a strange one, given that Angelucci found himself speaking to a ball of light that spoke back to him. Then, suddenly, the light was gone and Angelucci was left to do nothing stranger than head back home.
Three weeks later, and undercover of overwhelming darkness, Angelucci was back at the bridge – as were the two green lights. On this time, however, they shapeshifted into the forms of a man and a woman, whose appearance, said Angelucci, put them both at around the age of thirty-five. The male, entity – named Neptune – warned Angelucci that our solar-system had been the home to numerous, earlier civilizations that had destroyed themselves, and that unless we changed our dangerous ways, we would surely be next on the long and sorry list of casualties. It was for that very reason, Neptune said, that Angelucci should write books on his experiences and get the word out to the public – which he duly and faithfully did, right up until his death in 1993, at the age of eighty-one.
Waarnemingen wijzen op neergestorte meteoriet in regio Aalst-Dendermonde:
Waarnemingen wijzen op neergestorte meteoriet in regio Aalst-Dendermonde: "Kans dat je hem vindt, is quasi onbestaande"
De kans bestaat dat er eergisteren een meteoriet is neergestort op Belgisch grondgebied. Dat meldt Volkssterrenwacht Mira op Twitter, op basis van bijna 200 waarnemingen van een vallend object, en dat zowel in België, Nederland, Engeland als Frankrijk. Daarnaast hebben 3 speciale camera's beelden gemaakt van het traject van dat vallende object. Op basis daarvan is er een zone afgebakend, tussen Aalst en Dendermonde, waar de meteoriet zou kunnen liggen. Wie op zoek gaat, blijft waarschijnlijk op zijn honger zitten. "De kans dat je die meteoriet vindt, is zo goed als onbestaande", zegt Philippe Mollet van Volkssterrenwacht Mira. Geoloog Steven Goderis (VUB) ging al op zoek, maar zonder resultaat.
"Jaarlijks vallen er verschillende meteorieten neer op Belgisch grondgebied, maar omdat ons land zo dichtbevolkt is, verkleint dat de kans op een vondst. En op klaarlichte dag is een meteoriet zo goed als onmogelijk waar te nemen. Alle eerdere vondsten waren eerder toevallig. Dit zou letterlijk de eerste keer zijn dat er op basis van systematische waarnemingen én de moderne cameratechnologie effectief een meteoriet wordt teruggevonden", zegt Mollet.
"Het is geen kwestie van zoeken naar een speld in een hooiberg, maar naar een speld in een hooiveld. De kans is niet onbestaande, maar toch verwaarloosbaar klein. Want waarschijnlijk gaat het niet om één deeltje, maar om verschillende kleinere deeltjes die uit elkaar zijn gespat. Wie toch op speurtocht gaat: een meteoriet is een zwartgeblakerd steentje, qua gewicht iets zwaarder dan een "gewone" steen en met een ruw oppervlak, waar onderweg naar de aarde wat stukjes af zijn gevlogen."
Dit zou de eerste keer zijn dat er op basis van systematische waarnemingen effectief een meteoriet wordt teruggevonden.
Vrijdagochtend waren er "honderden waarnemingen" van wat Mollet "een mogelijk neergestorte meteoriet" noemt. "Waarnemingen van een bijzonder heldere vuurbol en dat zowel in het westen van ons land, als in het zuiden van Nederland, het noorden van Frankrijk en het zuidoosten van Engeland, ongeveer 200 in totaal. Op basis van de locaties van die waarnemingen, en observaties van het cameranetwerk FRIPON (Fireball Recovery and Interplanetary Observation Network, red.) in Brussel, Oostkapelle (Nederland) en Noordwijk (Nederland) kunnen we een gebied afbakenen tussen Aalst en Dendermonde waarin de meteoriet is neergestort."
Het is trouwens niet zo evident om een meteoriet te spotten. "Als wandelaar is de kans klein, dat je opmerkt wat er recht boven je hoofd aan het gebeuren is. Zelfs de meest ervaren waarnemers worden nog verrast. Het moeilijkste aspect, is om de hoogte in te schatten. Als mens is onze blik vrij horizontaal gericht. Daardoor lijkt wat we zien in de verte erg hoog, maar we schatten die hoogte vaak hoger in dan ze eigenlijk is."
De sneeuw heeft onze zoektocht vanmorgen aanzienlijk bemoeilijkt.
Deze voormiddag zijn er al enkele geologen op zoek gegaan naar de meteoriet. "Maar een systematische zoektocht nu is bijzonder moeilijk, omdat alles er vochtig bijligt", zegt Mollet. "En dat materiaal is bijzonder broos, dus het gaat snel verweren." Geoloog Steven Goderis (VUB) is er deze voormiddag al op uitgetrokken in regio Aalst. "Door de sneeuw was het onmogelijk om iets te vinden. Dinsdag organiseren we een systematische zoektocht, samen met enkele doctoraatsstudenten."
Beeld van de meteoriet op 22 januari omstreeks 7.52 uur in Brussel
Meteoriet neergestort in België. Ligt hij in jouw achtertuin?
Volkssterrenwacht Mira deelt op Twitter mee dat er een meteoriet is ingeslagen op Belgisch grondgebied. De steen meet maximaal enkele centimeters doorsnee en werd voorlopig nog niet gevonden.
De meteoriet zou vrijdagochtend neergestort zijn in de regio Aalst-Dendermonde om 7.52 uur. De melding kwam binnen via het FRIPON-cameranetwerk. FRIPON staat voor Fireball Recovery and Interplanetary Observation Network. Camera’s in Brussel, Oostkapelle en Noordwijk legden een deel van het traject van de meteoriet vast.
Een meteoriet is een stukje ruimtepuin — afkomstig van een planetoïde, komeet of meteoroïde — dat inslaat op aarde. Het kleine gruis en puin komt van de oermaterie uit de wolk waaruit de zon en de rest van het zonnestelsel zijn ontstaan. Tijdens de val wordt het materiaal sterk afgeremd door onze atmosfeer en warmt het op, waardoor er een vallende vuurbal te zien is: dit is een meteoor, ook gekend als vallende ster. Het materiaal dat niet opbrandt en uiteindelijk op aarde neervalt, is een meteoriet. Jaarlijks komen zo’n 20.000 tot 80.000 meteorieten zwaarder dan 10 gram ergens op Aarde terecht. Maar het meeste materiaal dat zo op de Aarde valt, bestaat uit micrometeorieten die als stofjes neerdwarrelen. Goed voor naar schatting 35.000 tot 80.000 ton per jaar.
Het is van 1971 geleden dat er een meteoriet op Belgisch grondgebied werd gevonden. We leven dan ook in een erg klein land in verhouding tot onze hele planeet. Indien ook het exemplaar van vrijdag wordt gerecupereerd, zou het de zevende keer dat er in ons land een meteoriet wordt aangetroffen.
Zo kan de meteoriet eruit zien. Dit is de zesde Belgische meteoriet tentoongesteld in Museum voor Natuurwetenschappen.
Er bestaan verschillende soorten meteorieten en het is niet zo eenvoudig om te bepalen wanneer het effectief om een meteoriet gaat. WikiHow geeft enkele tips om een meteoriet te onderscheiden van andere stenen en metalen.
Zo is er de kleur. Als het gevaarte nog maar net uit de lucht is gevallen, is de kleur blinkend zwart, door de verbranding in de atmosfeer. Door zijn verblijf op de aarde wordt het materiaal na verloop van tijd roestbruin. Dan is er ook de vorm. Die is meestal grillig, onregelmatig.
Er is de smeltkorst. “Als het oppervlak van je steen eruitziet alsof het is gesmolten en veranderd, kan het een meteoriet zijn”, schrijft WikiHow. Op die glazige, donkere buitenlaag komen ook vaak kleine streeplijnen voor. Verder zitten er soms ook putjes in het materiaal, maar nooit gaten.
Magnetisch
Meteorieten zijn ook nooit poreus, maar vast. Ze voelen zwaarder aan dan andere gesteenten en zijn meestal magnetisch. Dat komt door de hoge concentratie aan het overgangsmetaal nikkel en het onedel metaal ijzer binnenin. Ook aan de buitenkant zie je vaak korrels als sporen van dat nikkel en ijzer.
Een echte meteoriet laat verder geen duidelijke strepen achter - behalve eventueel een klein beetje grijs - als je die tegen een onbehandelde keramische steen schraapt. Daarvoor kan de achterkant van een keramische tegel of van een koffiekopje of de binnenkant van een toiletreservoir dienen. Let wel: ook veel aardse gesteenten laten geen sporen na op onbehandelde keramiek. De test dient dus enkel om een meteoriet uit te sluiten.
Een meteoriet is niet gevaarlijk. Het is een fabeltje dat het gesteente gloeiend heet zou zijn bij ‘de landing’, want de meteoriet is tegen dan al lang afgekoeld en voelt hoogstens nog een beetje warm aan.
Eerlijke vinder
De eerlijke vinder is in principe eigenaar van de meteoriet als hij/zij die op het eigen domein vindt. De oorspronkelijke eigenaar heeft dan wettelijk drie jaar de tijd om het voorwerp op te eisen, maar in dit geval bestaat die niet en blijft de nieuwe eigenaar in het bezit van het materiaal. Als de ruimtesteen op privéterrein wordt gevonden, dan moet die normaal wel aan de gemeente worden overgemaakt.

UFOs During Sunrise Over San Diego de Alejandría, Mexico 1-13-2021 UFO Sighting News.
UFOs During Sunrise Over San Diego de Alejandría, Mexico 1-13-2021 ,UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Jan 13, 2021 Location of sighting: Alejadria, Mexico
UFOs are frequently seen around Mexico, and I believe it is because alien bases were made thousand of years ago below several of the volcanos in the region. Volcanos such as Colima, Popocatepetl, Cofre De Perote, La Malinche, Nevado De Toluca, Pico de Orizaba (major UFOs seen here) and Tacana. All of which have past UFO reports of object exiting and entering the mouth of the volcanos in Mexico. 100% proof that there are more frequently seen UFO sightings DUE TO THE FACT, that aliens made more bases 6km below the volcanos...all of which were made thousands of years ago.

Eyewitness states:
Greetings, they just appeared out of nowhere and at first they seemed only 3 lights then they lengthen (they advance) but very slowly it seems that they do not move and believe me it is not the first time I see them and in person their glow is fascinating, the place is in the highlands of Jalisco in a place called San Diego de Alejandria, it was between 7 and 8 in the morning, January 13, 2021.

UFO Enters/Exits Cloud Over Picos-Piaui, Brazil Jan 15, 2021, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:Jan 15, 2021 Location of sighting: Picos, Brazil
The eyewitness Luan Silva of Youtube noticed something strange in the sky above. A large whitish object was moving in and out of the clouds every few seconds, as if it were playing peekaboo with him. He pulled out his cell phone and caught a 20 seconds of the interesting encounter the UFO was playing with them. Its almost like a child, playing with them. Very odd behavior, but some alien species are playful, and yet this also could be controlled by AI which is alive, but worried it may frighten the people below so reveals itself little by little to get the people use to it. Nevertheless...its the very cute to watch.

Missing 411: Three People Missing Just South of Yosemite National Park
This is the story of James Arthur, Theresa Bier, and Doug Pearce all missing under unusual circumstances in the region south of Yosemite National Park.
David Paulides is a former police officer who is now an investigator and writer known primarily for his self-published books, one dedicated to proving the reality of Bigfoot, and his Missing 411 series of books, in which he documents the disappearance of people in national parks and elsewhere.
Paulides attributes mysterious, unspecified causes to these disappearances, while data analysis suggests that these disappearances are not statistically mysterious or unexpected.

Bright UFO filmed from a plane over Karachi, Pakistan 23-Jan-2021
This video was filmed high above the Karachi in Pakistan on 23rd January 2021.
Witness report:
We were flying at 35000 feet.Operating Captain was just in the process of sitting down on his seat and the aircraft started to turn on the route which enabled him to see this brilliant white round object above and to the right of the aircraft.It could either have been hovering or moving slowly(difficult to tell due relative motion).Cell phone cameras were put in action fat to capture the object.After landing was found out that it had been seen/filmed in different areas as well.
The sandworms on the planet Arrakis are considered by many to be the real stars of the Dune novels of Frank Herbert. Reaching anywhere from 400 meters (1,300 ft) to a reported “half a league” (1.5 miles (2.4 km)) in length and 40 meters (130 ft) in diameter, they’re responsible for the treasured drug melange and featured in many action sequences because of their rideability and aversion to intruders.
Fortunately, these sandworms are fictional, but a smaller and equally vicious version does exist right here on Earth in the form of the Bobbitt worm (Eunice aphroditois) – a 10-foot-long bristle worm that burrows in the soft sediment of the ocean floor, waiting to ambush its prey by exploding out of the sand, grabbing their catch in vise jaws and dragging them back into the sediment for consumption. (Photos and videos here.) Fortunately, their favorite prey is fish and their larvae don’t excrete melange or any other spices. However, they don’t appear to have any natural enemies, which explains why they’ve lived nearly unchanged for 20 million years, according to a new study in the journal Scientific Reports.
A modern Bobbit worm hunts on the sea floor with just its head exposed. Researchers have found fossils suggesting they were terrorizing the ocean the same way 20 million years ago.

The fossil burrow opening, left, is compared to a modern Bobbit worm burrow opening. The researchers found that the fossil and modern burrows were similar.
An animation shows how the trace fossil would have formed.
(Yu Yen Pan)
The top part of the fossil burrow, seen from the side, is funnel shaped, with feathery lines from the disturbance of the soil that's thought to be caused by the worm pulling prey into the burrow.
This is an artistic reconstruction of Websteroprion armstrongi, a Bobbit worm that lived 400 million years ago in Ontario. Its fossil jaws were discovered and reported by a team of researchers that included David Rudkin at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
(James Ormiston)
“This trace fossil consists of an up to 2 m long, 2–3 cm in diameter, L-shaped burrow with distinct feather-like structures around the upper shaft. A comparison of Pennichnus to biological analogs strongly suggests that this new ichnogenus is associated with ambush-predatory worms that lived about 20 million years ago.”
How big?
Because they were squishy worms, no skeletal fossils of this species exist, but researchers led by National Taiwan University sedimentologist Ludvig Löwemark found trace fossils – burrows, prints and squiggles made by something on the floor of the ocean near Taiwan. By eliminating the traces being made by shrimp or snails – their burrows are longer and two-way – the researchers concluded they’d discovered the burrows of the ancestor of the modern Bobbitt worm.
We know what you’re dying to ask – yes, they’re named for Lorena Bobbitt, who in 1993 sliced off her sleeping husband’s penis after years of abuse. The nickname came from divers who witnessed the worms slicing fish in half with their jaws.
The 319 trace fossils discovered at two sites pointed to an ancient Bobbitt worm for a number of reasons. They were high in iron, which came from the mucous they used to stabilize the burrows. The tunnels were L-shaped, which is typical for soft worms that can’t dig too far down before hitting hard dirt and going horizontal. Finally, they look very much like the burrows of modern Bobbitt worms.
If that’s not your hand on my leg …
Despite not providing melange or being large enough to ride, Löwemark and his team plan to search for more trace fossils of the ancient worms, now that they know what to look for. They’ve named the trace fossils Pennichnus formosae, meaning “beautiful feather trace,” which refers to the feathery patterns left when the worm re-enters the burrow with its prey.
Ancient Bobbitt worm (Ubi vermis antiquis bobbitt) is far easier to remember.
According to a book called “The Ends of the World” that was written by an award-winning science journalist named Peter Brannen, dinosaurs may have beat humans to the moon – or at least their bones may have. An excerpt of Brannen’s book was recently shared on Twitter by a blogger named Matt Austin.
We all know that the dinosaur-killing asteroid that struck the Earth about 66 million years ago was incredibly massive, but was it powerful enough to send pieces of the dinosaurs into space? According to Brannen, the answer is yes.
He claimed that since the asteroid sent up large volumes of earth into space, it’s very possible that “bits of dinosaurs” were mixed in with it. And since the soil that was flung into space landed on the moon, it’s very plausible that the pieces of dinosaurs went with it, therefore, dinosaurs made it to the lunar surface millions of years before humans.
Did the asteroid impact send dinosaur remains onto the moon?
In his book, he described that when the asteroid impacted Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, it was speeding towards Earth approximately 20 times faster than a speeding bullet. It read in part, “This is so fast that it would have traversed the distance from the cruising altitude of a 747 to the ground in 0.3 seconds.”
It went on to read, “As the asteroid collided with the earth, in the sky above it where there should have been air, the rock had punched a hole of outer space vacuum in the atmosphere.” “As the heavens rushed in to close this hole, enormous volumes of earth were expelled into orbit and beyond — all within a second or two of impact.” And when Brannen posed the question, “So there’s probably little bits of dinosaur bone on the moon,” geophysicist Mario Rebolledo from the Centro de Investigación answered with, “Yea, probably.”
Scientists did reveal what they believe happened during the impact. When the asteroid struck Earth, it left a gigantic crater (called the Chicxulub crater) and upon impact it sent massive amounts of carbon dioxide as well as sulfur into the atmosphere. At that point, the sun would have been blocked by a major dust cloud, probably causing an immediate “nuclear winter” as temperatures on Earth would have dropped dramatically in addition to acid rain falling to the ground.
Mark Richards who is an earth and space science professor at the University of Washington explained this further, “It would have felt like the ground beneath your feet had become a ship in the middle of the ocean.” “Then rocks would have bombarded you from a boiling sky that was beginning to take on a hazy glow. It would have seemed like the end of the world.”
While no dinosaur bones have been found on the moon as of yet, the next astronauts to travel to the lunar surface should definitely consider looking for the remains. Wouldn’t that make for the next great science movie?! The excerpt that Austin posted from Brannen’s book can be read here and on his Twitter page.
Real Reptilian Alien Shapeshifters!... The Subject No One Wants To Talk About
Real Reptilian Alien Shapeshifters!... The Subject No One Wants To Talk About
It is written that these entities came from the darkness and were formless. They hide amongst us and have now learned to appear as we do. These we call ‘shape-shifters’. Sounds like a horror novel doesn’t it? But the truth of the matter is, mysterious entities may in fact be interacting with humanity. Entities which are extraterrestrial, interdimensional or something else which seem to be closely associated with the UFO phenomena.
They have been described as reptilian in appearance and can change and modify their appearance. Could they really be living amongst humanity. Some believe not only are they here, but that they have been for a very long time.
