Volcanoes on Mars Might Still be Activ
Volcanoes on Mars Might Still be Active
Back in March, NASA’s InSight lander detected two large quakes from a geologically active region of Mars called the Cerberus Fossae. Now, using imagery from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which circles the red planet at an altitude of about 300km, researchers have discovered that the Cerberus Fossae region holds the most recent evidence of volcanic activity ever seen on Mars.
The newly observed volcanic deposit could have been created as recently as 46,000 years ago, though outer estimates suggest that, at the oldest, it might be 200,000 years old. In either case, on geological time scales, this is a very young deposit. Most of the volcanic rock elsewhere on Mars is orders of magnitude more ancient, forming during a period of heavy geological activity between 3 and 4 billion years ago. More recent volcanic eruptions occurred with regularity on Mars up to about 3 million years ago, but until now, we have never seen any evidence of volcanism that can be dated in the thousands of years. This new deposit is unique. As lead researcher David Horvath from the Planetary Science Institute explains, “if we were to compress Mars geologic history into a single day, this would have occurred in the very last second.”
The eruption that created the deposit appears to have been explosive in nature, with a pyroclastic cloud that could have reached as high as 6km. The dark layer of ash and volcanic material leftover from the explosion now covers a 13km wide region on either side of one of the large fissures from which the Cerberus Fossae takes its name.
Most volcanic rock found on Mars today is the result of lava flowing slowly across the surface. Explosive volcanism like this seems much rarer, though its rarity is not necessarily a result of it occurring less frequently. Instead, it is because explosive volcanism leaves behind thinner layers of material, so it is more easily eroded by wind and other geological activity, or hidden beneath sand and dust. In other words, the only reason we can see this new deposit at all is because it’s so young – it hasn’t yet vanished from the geological record.
When the observations from orbit are combined with the seismic data from InSight, they offer the tantalizing possibility that the Cerberus Fossae region could still see future eruptions, and that magmatic activity is still ongoing just beneath the surface there.
One speculative, but not altogether unreasonable hypothesis, suggests that this ongoing underground magma flow might have melted ice embedded in the nearby Martian subsurface, creating habitable environments for microbial life in the present day.
The researchers believe that “these environments would be analogous to locations on Earth where volcanic activity occurs in glacial environments such as Iceland, where chemotropic [bacteria that gains energy from oxidizing inorganic molecules], cryophilic [cold-loving], and thermophilic [heat-loving] bacteria thrive.”
For now, we have no way of testing this theory, though InSight will continue to listen for further seismic activity from it’s position about 1,600km away. In the ongoing search for microbial extra-terrestrial life, however, the Cerberus Fossae may be a promising location for future missions to explore.
The researchers published their findings in Icarus. You can read more about it here:
FLYING SAUCERS AND DEAD ALIENS ENCOUNTERED IN 1948 AND 1949
FLYING SAUCERS AND DEAD ALIENS ENCOUNTERED IN 1948 AND 1949
1948-1949…….NEVADA AND ARIZONA
The information contained within this email and accompanying photography was given to me by my late father, I have no way of proving that any of what is contained within this email is true or false, all I can say is that my father was a serious man, a man of integrity and extremely honest and was not a liar.
My dad worked for the United States Air Force all of his life until he retired, it was only many years after his retirement and when he was in his later years that he told me this truly incredible story and showed me the photographs. He told me he worked as part of a small team who conducted top secret scientific research and that he worked on many highly classified deep black military programs and projects, most of which are still classified to this day.
One day in the spring of 1948 one of his colleagues pulled him to one side and said “get your shit together, something big’s going down.” He and his team were flown to an airforce base in Nevada, from there they were then flown by helicopter to a remote area were they were told to get onto a large bus with blacked out windows and along with roughly 30 other passengers they were driven to within 2 miles of the location, whilst on the bus everyone was ordered to remain silent.
Inside the craft he said he saw 5 dead aliens, he described them as been about 4 to 4 and a half feet tall with grey hairless spindly bodies with large heads, huge black almond shaped eyes, no ears and tiny mouths, he said it wasn’t apparent as to how they had died as they appeared to have no injuries, what his team found very fascinating and very strange was that they were all huddled together on the floor and it looked like they were almost organically attached to the grey wax material, almost as if they were plants growing from within it, he said it was a very peculiar and a very bizarre sight, he said there was also a terrible smell which no one could describe.
A small metallic bottle was also beside them which contained what looked like an unknown thick purple liquid. Eventually a retrieval team was put into place and the craft and it’s dead occupants was flown out to a top secret location, my dad said he and his team were later briefed by military intelligence officers and were told that what they saw and worked on was nothing more than a top secret Russian remote controlled aircraft and the creatures were dummies, they were all sworn to secrecy and ordered never to speak about it to anyone. My dad said he can be seen stood in in front of the saucer on the photos, showing just how big this thing was.
12 months later the same thing happened again, only this time the location was Arizona. My dad told me it happened in the summer of 1949 and the set up was exactly the same as last time, flight, helicopter, blacked out bus, etc and finally they were confronted with what they were told was another landed Russian aircraft.
This time he and his team were confronted with a different style of craft, but saucer-shaped just like the last one and slightly smaller but still a huge metallic flying saucer by any stretch of the imagination.
He told me the craft had some sort of force field or energy field around it (see photo) and that no one could get close to it and everyone was ordered to keep their distance, only after 2 full days did the force field finally turn itself off.
It was at this point that attempts were made by the military to gain access into the the saucer, all without success, apparently they even tried explosives but nothing would penetrate it, they couldn’t even make a scratch or a dent in the thing, he told me they climbed up a ladder and looked through the portholes and the craft looked almost identical inside to the last saucer they saw, no kind of visible instrumentation could be seen and the interior looked very similar to the last craft, completely covered in some sort of whitish wax material, 9 tiny seats could be seen arranged in a semi-circle, my dad said they looked like the size of chairs that you would expect to see at an infant school, tiny.
Roughly half a mile away there was a large military tent, when my dad and his team entered into it he said there was 7 dead aliens on the floor, all lying on a large sheet of military camouflage material, the creatures were almost identical to the aliens he saw last time, except this time all the creatures were all wearing what looked like one piece tight fitting silver space suits with what looked like skull caps on their heads, my dad said there was strange symbols on the suits which were completely indecipherable.
When they got of the bus he and his team were then escorted to a mountainous area on foot which was very heavily guarded by armed soldiers, when he arrived at the final destination he said they were confronted with a very large metallic flying saucer shaped craft.
He said they were told that the craft had landed and had been there for some time and that the military had managed to gain access to the saucer by using diamond tipped drills. He and his team were taken inside the craft, he said it was unlike anything they had ever seen, nothing like any kind of conventional aircraft, no seats, levers, dials or instruments or anything like that was visible, he said it was like the whole interior was made out of some form of grey wax material, he said it was a very peculiar and a very eerie sight.
It appeared that the occupants had been out and about and walking around doing something and for some unknown reason had all just dropped dead, 3 of the occupants were carrying a small silver metallic rod with a small red light on the end of it, it was unclear whether these were some kind of instrument or weapon, what was strange was that all the creatures appeared to be frothing at the mouth and a hardened white froth could clearly be seen coming from to noses and mouths of all of the dead creatures.
My dad said that the craft and its deceased occupants was taken to Wright-Patterson Air Force base by a retrieval team, he said he and his team saw that exact same craft 3 years later in a large hanger when they were working at that air force base. Again my dad said he and his team were given the same spill as last time by military intelligence officers about what they saw been nothing more than a top secret Russian experimental spy craft and the deceased occupants been nothing more than dummies.
In early July of 1952 (just before the Washington DC UFO flap occurred) my dad and his team were working in California conducting and carrying out what he said was an ultra secret black project. He told me that he and his team witnessed a large metallic flying saucer suddenly appear in the sky from out of nowhere, apparently it landed on 3 tripod/telescopic style landing gear legs roughly 50 meters in front of them, then took off and flew off into the sky and disappeared at a high rate of speed, he said the saucer was also witnessed by 20 armed soldiers who were accompanying them on their mission.
I can only imagine that you find that story quiet incredible and remarkable and are probably skeptical? (Editor’s Note: Actually I’m not, I have at least half-dozen of these stories in my archive.) Don’t worry, when my dad told me I was like “yeah sure dad, that’s one hell of a whopper,” but when he showed me the photos and told me that it is 100 percent true, I knew he was telling the truth, plus what would he have to gain from making up such a tale? Absolutely nothing as he never told anyone about it except for me and mum.
If you find my father’s story and photographs interesting and think that your readers would also, then please be my guest and use it, if not then I am sorry for taking up some of your valuable time. It was one of my late father last wishes to finally tell his story and he asked me to find a way of getting it out there. I hope to hear back from you as soon as is possible.

Mutual UFO Network : MUFON SUBMISSIONS : Lights appear white in video but they were all red Long Description of Sighting Report
These lights approximately 6 to 8 of them were in an arc form to start. Then they started separating and moving east. Some of them would come back to the original formation some kept on going. Some would hover then start again. The video I have was not from the beginning when they were in the arc position because I was on the phone with my son when I first saw them and I was so shocked that I FaceTimed him and he saw them as well. That’s when I hung up and started to video. The video is not very good quality, and don’t pay attention to the moving forms that I believe to be reflections from my phone. Just keep looking through The light posts. Also, I did not know about the “degrees” so I just put any number in there.

Mutual UFO Network : MUFON SUBMISSIONS : Continuous lights moving Long Description of Sighting Report
I was working at my desk at night when I looked out the window and noticed a small light in the sky that was travelling north and then turned off after being visible for only a few seconds. I was very intrigued and kept watching at the same spot in the sky. Immediately, another small light appeared right where the first light first appeared, travelled to the north, and then turned off in the same spot at the first. I watched this happen a few more before grabbing my phone and recording a video. Its as if there is a line of objects flying north in the sky, but they only become visible at one point in the sky, one at a time, for a short moment. After watching about 20-30 objects pass the same spot in the sky and light up and turn off, I left my room to go find someone else to point it out to, but just as I feared, when I showed them, it was gone. Luckily I got a pretty decent video of it, showing around 6 of these lights that were particularly bright. I also noticed the lights would accelerate and decelerate while they were illuminated which is somewhat shown in the video. The lights are moving above and to the left of the blinking cell phone tower.

An unusual string of lights seen in the night sky over Las Vegas caused some stir Wednesday, prompting multiple calls and emails to the 13 Action News assignment desk.
A vast site in north-west Saudi Arabia is home to 1000 structures that date back more than 7000 years, making them older than the Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge in the UK.
Named after the Arabic word for rectangle, mustatil structures were first discovered in the 1970s, but received little attention from researchers at the time. Hugh Thomas at the University of Western Australia in Perth and his team wanted to learn more about them, and embarked on the largest investigation of the structures to date.
There are 1000 ancient monuments across one region of Saudi Arabia
AAKSA and Royal Commission for AlUla
Using helicopters to fly over north-west Saudi Arabia and then following up with ground explorations, the researchers found more than 1000 mustatils across 200,000 square kilometres – twice as many as were previously thought to exist in this area. “You don’t get a full understanding of the scale of the structures until you’re there,” says Thomas.
Made from piled-up blocks of sandstone, some of which weighed more than 500 kilograms, mustatils ranged from 20 metres to more than 600 metres in length, but their walls stood only 1.2 metres high. “It’s not designed to keep anything in, but to demarcate the space that is clearly an area that needs to be isolated,” says Thomas.
In a typical mustatil, long walls surround a central courtyard, with a distinctive rubble platform, or “head”, at one end and entryways at the opposite end. Some entrances were blocked by stones, suggesting they could have been decommissioned after use.
Excavations at one mustatil showed that the centre of the head contained a chamber within which there were fragments of cattle horns and skulls. The cattle fragments may have been presented as offerings, suggesting mustatils may have been used for rituals.
Radiocarbon dating of the skulls shows that they date to between 5300 and 5000 BC, indicating that this was when this particular mustatil was built – and maybe the others too. If so, the monuments would together form the earliest large-scale, ritual landscape anywhere in the world, predating Stonehenge by more than 2500 years.
“This could completely rewrite our understanding of cults in this area at this time,” says team member Melissa Kennedy, also at the University of Western Australia. She says that further south, religious groups became focused in homes, with families displaying small shrines, but the opposite was happening in ancient Saudi Arabia with the mustatils.
There may also have been a relation between the construction of mustatils and the environment. They were built during the Holocene Humid Phase – a period between 8000 and 4000 BC during which Arabia and parts of Africa were wetter, and what are now deserts were grasslands. But droughts were still common, and Kennedy says it is possible that cattle were herded and used as offerings to the gods to protect the land from the changing climate.
Mustatils were typically clustered in groups of two to 19, suggesting that gatherings may have been broken up into smaller social groups.
“The mustatils themselves are probably associated with an annual or generational coming-together of people who would normally be out with their herds and cattle,” says Gary Rollefson at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, suggesting that these rituals were important for bringing communities together. “But there’s no indication that these guys spent a lot of time around the mustatil.”
“These structures are enigmatic,” says Huw Groucutt at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena, Germany. He says they show that remarkable human cultural developments took place in the Arabian peninsula.
But despite all the new findings, there is still much to learn. “People are going to understand these structures even more in the future,” says Thomas. “It’s nice to be at the forefront, but we’re also excited to see what other people find.”
Did an unidentified flying object really crash land at a New Mexico ranch in 1947, only to be hushed up by the government?
Did an unidentified flying object really crash land at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico?

There is a spaceship that looks like a flying saucer in Roswell. Thousands of motorists drive past it every day, and hundreds of people go inside. It's on North Main Street in this southeastern New Mexico city, its metal skin gleaming as it basks in the glow of the sun. Its neon lighting burns into the retinas of those who view it throughout the evening, and it's rather hard not to admire. After all, aside from its striking looks, who doesn't crave a burger every now and then? That's right: This spacecraft is one of the city’s McDonald’s restaurants.
So why is the building shaped that way? It's not that far from the site of a mysterious incident that took place in 1947 — the day when a rancher discovered debris scattered around his sheep pasture, prompting speculation that an unidentified flying object, or UFO, had crashed there.
In June, or possibly early July 1947, William Brazel woke up for a normal day's work on the J.B. Foster ranch in Lincoln County, New Mexico, 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of Roswell, when he made a shocking discovery. He found on the ranch "a large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips, tinfoil, a rather tough paper and sticks," Brazel said in an article published on July 8, 1947, in the Roswell Daily Record.
Brazel hadn't heard of flying saucers — at least not yet. Sightings, however, were coming in thick and fast around that time. On June 24, pilot Kenneth Arnold claimed to have seen nine unidentified objects "flying like a saucer would across water" near Mount Rainier, Washington. Arnold estimated that the objects were flying at around 1,200 mph (1,930 km/h), Arnold was reported as saying in the East Oregonian; but at the time, there were no known craft that could reach those speeds. The Air Force also said it had no new experimental planes or guided missiles that would fit such a description, according to a U.S. Department of Defense report. That story became front-page news, and the term "flying saucer was born, despite Arnold describing the flying objects as crescent-shape," according to New Scientist.
The country soon became gripped, as Brazel discovered, by the sightings. By July 7, policemen and astronomers were reportedly being harassed for further reports, this time by people from New York and other eastern U.S. states; that was also the day Brazel decided to take action. He hand-delivered a box of accumulated debris, which he'd gathered with the help of his wife and two children, to Sheriff George Wilcox of Roswell, according to Smithsonian Magazine.
ALL ABOUT SPACE
All About Space magazine takes you on an awe-inspiring journey through our solar system and beyond, from the amazing technology and spacecraft that enables humanity to venture into orbit, to the complexities of space science.
By now there was talk of a reward for anyone who recovered one of these unidentified flying objects. In the Roswell Daily Chronicle, Brazel is said to have "whispered kinda confidential-like" that his find may be one of the flying disks, so an equally intrigued Wilcox contacted Colonel William Blanchard, the commanding officer of the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF), who sent agents to the site to gather the remaining material.
What happened next would cement the idea that the debris represented the remnants of an alien spacecraft. According to David Clarke's book "The UFO Files: The Inside Story of Real-Life Sightings," published by Bloomsbury in 2012, the RAAF's public information officer Walter Haut issued a press release on July 8: "The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disk through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff’s office of Chaves County."
This was reported in the Roswell Daily Record along with the news that Major Jesse A. Marcel was the group intelligence officer dispatched to the scene. He had gone with Counter Intelligence Corps officer Sheridan Cavitt, but on his way back took a detour to his own home. There, he whipped out a couple of boxes of debris that he popped into the trunk of his car and showed to his 10-year-old son, Jesse Jr. One of the objects was said to have hieroglyphic-like markings, something that stuck in the mind of the young boy, according to a report in The Guardian.
But just as quickly as excitement of the find grew, the Army took swift action in debunking the story. The very next day, shortly after government scientists began to arrive at the scene, officials claimed that the debris was actually from a crashed weather balloon, and Marcel was asked to be pictured at a press conference with the debris. And that was that, case closed — or so everyone thought.
But interest began to grow again. In 1978, nuclear physicist, author and UFO researcher Stanton Friedman interviewed Marcel, who said that the discovery made 31 years earlier was not from this world, and that the government had ordered him to keep quiet. Friedman revisited the incident and sought other witnesses, and his work inspired Charles Berlitz and William Moore to write "The Roswell Incident," published in 1980. Their conclusion was simple: There had been a huge cover-up.
The flying saucer conspiracy begins
Other things were happening in the world at the time. Notably, the sci-fi films "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" had just been released; studies have suggested that sightings and belief in UFOs rise when popular films and TV shows make their debut, The Times reported in 2009. Nevertheless, testimonies about that day in 1947 were forthcoming, and they continued to come for many years.
Glenn Dennis called a hotline shortly after an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" featuring the Roswell incident aired in 1989. He suggested that a friend who worked as a nurse at the Roswell Army Air Field saw three alien bodies, according to TIME Magazine. But the real bombshell moment came in 1994. Could it be that the debris really was from an alien craft?
According to the U.S. Air Force, no. The weather balloon story was not true, but it wasn't to hide the fact that little green men had visited Earth. The wreckage was actually that of a classified project that flew microphones on high-altitude balloons to pick up the sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests. Called Project Mogul, it was said to have run between 1947 and 1949. What's more, the balloons were claimed to have been made up of unusual material — the type that could easily be confused for a UFO. So, case closed? Not at all.
"The ever-changing accounts gave rise to uncertainty," Kenneth Drinkwater, senior lecturer in psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University, U.K., who specializes in the anomalous and paranormal, said in an email. "The first message that went out was unclear. Then they changed the message, and it led to suspicion that something was going on and being covered up. It gives rise to a feeling that something is being hidden from the general population, leading to speculation of possible conspiracy and possibly alien technology."
With such mixed messages, the Roswell files remain open in the eyes of many. Investigators also place great value on the testimonies of those who were there, many of them respected military personnel. "Every member of Blanchard's senior staff, with a single exception, suggested the craft was of alien origin," Kevin D. Randle, a retired lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army Reserve who served in Vietnam and Iraq, told All About Space, a sister publication to Live Science. "Major Edwin Easley, the base provost marshal, told me, when asked if we were following the right path — meaning extraterrestrial — that it wasn't the wrong path."
The "single exception" is Cavitt, the retired lieutenant colonel of the Air Force who accompanied Marcel to the debris site. His careful testimony suggested that nothing untoward happened. He said he had never been threatened by anyone in government and that the debris wasn't extensively scattered. Yet, UFO investigators say that if the wreckage was Project Mogul, then this testimony doesn't ring true. Mogul arrays were big, so the debris field would have been large.
"Everyone agrees that something fell at Roswell, but there is no terrestrial explanation," Randle told All About Space. "Project Mogul fails because the documentation tells us that flight number four — the alleged culprit — was cancelled. It did not fly. All other explanations have failed, too: It wasn't an aircraft accident, not a rocket from White Sands and not a regular weather balloon."
Over the past 40 or so years, there have been new claims and fresh leads, adding to the mystery and keeping the Roswell files very much alive. UFO investigator Calvin Parker, for example, recently spoke of his time with Marcel before he died in 1986, claiming that Marcel revealed that he had hidden three pieces of metal from the crash site in the top of his home's water heater. They have never been recovered, however.
Many UFO investigators are keen to stress that they don't take every testimony at face value. Randle previously said that the credibility of Dennis must be discounted because of inconsistencies, and he told All About Space that the accounts of military personnel are not simply accepted just because of their background. "There are some military witnesses who have been discredited as inserting themselves into the tale," Randle wrote in an email. Likewise, there are civilian witnesses who are compelling.
"There are some very creditable civilian witnesses, such as Brazel and Frankie Rowe," said Randle. Rowe is certainly an interesting case. She was told of the crash by her father, a firefighter, who described creatures he had seen. According to Randle, Rowe said she was shown debris from the crash site, but had been told to stay quiet by the state. She says there was evidence her phone had been tapped. But of all of the witnesses, perhaps too much weight is being put on Marcel's account.
"If Marcel was standalone, then there would be some real problems here, but he is not. There are many credible witnesses — men who achieved high military rank, men and women who were prominent in their communities — who believe the craft was alien," Randle said. "We have attempted to eliminate the fakers from those who had information to provide. We have been taken in, for a time, by some of those fakers, but in the long-run it was we who investigated the case that removed many of those fakers, though based on evidence and not a belief there is no alien visitation. The point is that Marcel was backed up by other high-ranking officers and many civilians who were part of the case. Marcel told [us] what he had seen and done, and there was little embellishment in his testimony."
Randle appeared in the documentary, "Roswell: The First Witness." It follows the investigations of former CIA operative Ben Smith into Roswell, and a key part of the series is a journal found in Marcel's possessions that was initially thought to have been written by him.
Speculation continues: Was the craft of alien origin?
It turned out that the journal — which consisted of quotes, lyrics and jokes — could be dated to the time of the Roswell incident, but the handwriting didn't match Marcel's. Smith pondered why the former army officer retained the journal, and there was speculation over whether it may have contained a code. If it did, however, it could not be deciphered by even the best of minds, according to the documentary.
Smith also sought to discover what was written in a document held by Brigadier General Roger Ramey, Eighth Air Force commander, during the press conference. It was captured in a photograph taken by Star-Telegram reporter J. Bond Johnson, and ufologists have long wondered whether the words they struggle to make out refer to "victims of the wreck." As Smith found, however, even the best technology could not sufficiently clean the document enough to make the words readable, and they remain a source of debate.
There were other interesting explorations in the documentary series. A body-language expert examined video interviews of Marcel and said it appeared that he was telling the truth, at least as he saw it. Experts including aviation crash investigator David Soucie were also taken to examine the crash site. Interestingly, the wind currents in the area were found to be inconsistent with a lightweight balloon crashing in the way that was described.
As the documentary continued, more evidence emerged. Crucially, there was a taped interview conversation between Marcel and author Linda G. Corley in which the military man discussed the items he found in 1947. "I found all this stuff and I was told to keep my mouth shut," he told Corley. "I held on to this premium for 32 years without saying anything at all. See, I was an intelligence officer. I handled intelligence and security for the base. I still hold an allegiance to my country, the vow that I took to keep my mouth shut about everything that might encroach on military secrets."
Just as compelling was an account from the family of Patrick Saunders, the 509th adjutant who is likely to have known about the whole event. He had apparently told people that it wasn't a weather balloon, but something similar to a jet fighter, that files were destroyed or changed and that the world wasn't ready for the truth because it would cause social upheaval. Were the "beings" friendly, he was said to have pondered.
This kind of testimony — particularly the first-hand testimony of Marcel that was chronicled in Corley's book, "For the Sake of My Country" — ensures the incident remains open. The fact the U.S. government admitted there was a cover-up in 1994 only continues to add fuel to the fire.
Yet Drinkwater says failure to provide physical evidence means anecdotal accounts have spread misinformation, and he remains in doubt. "Colonel John B. Alexander offers an excellent insight into the myths and possible conspiracies connected to UFOs, the Roswell incident, the government involvement and so on," Drinkwater said. "I think it's more about a sense of reality and how it can be swayed emotionally. I'm dubious about the nature of a secret operation where many might not have known about the goings on at their level."
Roswell is a town that will be forever linked to one of the greatest mysteries of all time, and we may never truly reach a consensus on the truth that is out there.
Eenhoorn Het zwarte gat heeft de bijnaam ‘Eenhoorn’ gekregen. Enerzijds heeft het zwarte gat die bijnaam te danken aan het feit dat deze in het gelijknamige sterrenbeeld te vinden is. Maar de onderzoekers vonden de bijnaam ook passend, omdat het zwarte gat uniek is.
Het zwarte gat is slechts drie keer zwaarder dan onze zon en daarmee piepklein voor een zwart gat. Tot op heden zijn nog maar heel weinig zwarte gaten met zo’n kleine massa ontdekt. En daarnaast bevindt het zwarte gat zich ook nog eens heel dicht bij ons zonnestelsel.
Ster Hoewel het zwarte gat zich vrij dicht bij de aarde bevindt, was het astronomen tot op heden nog niet opgevallen. Dat is goed te verklaren; zwarte gaten zijn – zoals de naam al doet vermoeden – zwart. Ze hebben zo’n enorme zwaartekracht dat niets eraan kan ontsnappen. Ook licht niet. En daardoor zijn zwarte gaten praktisch onzichtbaar. Wat de onderzoekers in dit geval echter wel konden zien, was de rode reus die het zwarte gat vergezelde. Verschillende telescopen hadden deze ster al onder de loep genomen. Onderzoekers bogen zich over de door deze telescopen verzamelde data en zagen al snel dat de ster terwijl deze zijn baantjes trok veranderde qua vorm. De veranderingen die de ster onderging, wezen er sterk op dat ‘iets’ aan de rode reus trok. “We berekenden dat de metgezel (van de rode reus, red.) ongeveer drie zonsmassa’s zwaar moest zijn,” zo vertelt onderzoeker Tharindu Jayasinghe aan Scientias.nl. Het idee dat het een zwart gat zou kunnen zijn, zou nog niet zolang geleden al snel verworpen zijn. Recent werd namelijk nog gedacht dat zwarte gaten van enkele zonsmassa’s niet bestonden. Maar daar zijn onderzoekers op teruggekomen. En dus namen Jayasinghe en collega’s ook de mogelijkheid dat de rode reus vergezeld werd door een piepklein zwart gat, in overweging. En nadat ze alle mogelijkheden bestudeerd hadden, bleef er nog maar eentje over. “We stellen dat zich in dit systeem wel een donker, compact object moet bevinden,” aldus Jayasinghe. “De simpelste en meest waarschijnlijke verklaring is een zwart gat met een kleine massa.”
Net zoals de zwaartekracht van de maan invloed uitoefent op de oceanen op aarde en eb en vloed veroorzaakt, zo trekt het zwarte gat met zijn zwaartekracht aan de ster, die daardoor vervormt. De rode reus die rond dit kleine zwarte gat cirkelt, is door toedoen van de zwaartekracht van dit zwarte gat niet cirkel-, maar druppelvormig. Normaliter geven (zwaardere) zwarte gaten hun locatie weg doordat ze röntgenstraling afgeven; ze trekken met hun grote zwaartekracht sterren naar zich toe en onttrekken gas aan die sterren. Het gas verzamelt zich in een zogenaamde accretieschijf rond het zwarte gat. Materie aan de binnenkant van de schijf draait sneller dan materie die wat verderop in de schijf te vinden is en daardoor ontstaat wrijving, die weer resulteert in röntgenstraling die met een röntgentelescoop kan worden waargenomen. Onderzoekers vermoeden al langer dat er echter ook (kleinere) zwarte gaten zijn die nauwelijks de interactie aangaan met de sterren die om hen heen cirkelen en dus ook nauwelijks of geen röntgenstraling voortbrengen. In de nieuwe studie tonen onderzoekers aan dat dergelijke zwarte gaten inderdaad bestaan en onthullen ze direct hoe we ze – aan de hand van de sterren die eromheen cirkelen – toch op kunnen sporen.
Massa “Het zwarte gat heeft een massa van 3,04 (+/- 0,06) zonsmassa’s en bevindt zich op 1500 (+/- 23 lichtjaar) van de aarde,” vertelt Jayasinghe. “Het is één van de kleinste zwarte gaten die we kennen en zeer waarschijnlijk het kleinste zwarte gat dat tot op heden in onze Melkweg is ontdekt.” Met een massa van ongeveer 3 zonsmassa’s zit het zwarte gat tussen de zwaarste neutronensterren (ongeveer 2,2 zonsmassa’s zwaar) en de lichtste röntgenstraling afgevende zwarte gaten (ongeveer 5 zonsmassa’s zwaar) in. “Objecten die zich in de kloof (tussen zware neutronensterren en lichte röntgenstraling afgevende zwarte gaten, red.) bevinden, zijn zeldzaam!” benadrukt Jayasinghe. Het opsporen van deze zwarte gaten, die hun locatie niet middels röntgenstraling prijsgeven, is van groot belang. “Het helpt onderzoekers om beter te begrijpen hoe zwarte gaten zich vormen en hoe ze over de Melkweg verspreid zijn.”
Toekomst In hun studie geven de onderzoekers alvast een voorzet. Of het in de nabije toekomst resulteert in de ontdekking van kleine zwarte gaten die zich nóg dichter bij de aarde bevinden, is afwachten. Maar Jayasinghe sluit het zeker niet uit. Of er ook nóg lichtere zwarte gaten op ontdekking wachten, is eveneens onduidelijk. Stervende zware sterren – minstens acht keer zwaarder dan onze zon – transformeren tot neutronensterren of zwarte gaten. Waar de grens tussen de zwaarste neutronensterren en de lichtste zwarte gaten ligt, weten astronomen niet precies. “Ergens tussen de 2,2 en 5 zonsmassa’s,” stelt Jayasinghe. “De maximale massa van neutronensterren lijkt theoretisch gezien rond de 3 zonsmassa’s te liggen – maar in werkelijkheid ligt deze waarschijnlijk iets lager. Dus de ‘Eenhoorn’ is echt één van de kleinst mogelijke zwarte gaten.” De zoektocht naar zwarte gaten met een vergelijkbare – of misschien zelfs ietsje kleinere – massa als de Eenhoorn gaat ondertussen door. Gehoopt wordt dat de ontdekking van meer objecten die qua massa tussen de zwaarste neutronensterren en lichtste röntgenstraling afgevende zwarte gaten in zitten, ook meer inzicht kan geven in het ontstaan van zwarte gaten en neutronensterren.
Dat er nog meer zwarte gaten met een massa tussen de 3 en 5 zonsmassa’s ontdekt gaan worden, lijkt eigenlijk wel vast te staan. “(Deze studie, red.) vertelt ons dat er nog veel meer zwarte gaten die niet direct de interactie aangaan met hun sterren, op ontdekking wachten,” aldus Jayasinghe. “Onze resultaten suggereren dat zich in de Melkweg wel 100 tot 1000 Eenhoorn-achtige systemen ophouden.”

Ingenuity's most ambitious, risky maneuver yet took it to a record height of 33 feet.
Now Ingenuity begins a new mission: helping NASA practice for future Mars helicopters.
NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has survived its riskiest maneuver yet: landing in a new spot on Mars.
Since April 19, Ingenuity has completed four increasingly daring flights. But its fifth aerial adventure marked a new milestone. Instead of turning and retracing its path back to its liftoff spot, Ingenuity instead soared to a record height, then touched down in a new patch of red dust. Its successful migration marks the beginning of a new mission for the helicopter, in a new location.
From now on, Ingenuity isn't just a technology demonstration. Rather, it has moved on to start testing space-helicopter operations for NASA — activities like scouting and mapping terrain, studying objects on the Martian surface, and flying to areas a rover can't reach.
"The ability to fly the helicopter out into terrain that the rover cannot possibly traverse and bring back scientific data — this is extremely important for future missions that could combine a rover with a reconnaissance helicopter," Ken Farley, a project scientist with NASA's Perseverance rover, said in a briefing last week.
What if it were possible to hide from a hostile alien civilization by ‘cloaking’ the entire planet?
David Kipping – an assistant professor of astronomy at Columbia University – looks at exactly what it would take to hide the Earth from hostile extraterrestrial invaders.
What would it take to hide an entire planet? It sounds more like a question posed in an episode of “Star Trek” than in academic discourse, but sometimes the bleeding edge of science blurs with themes found in science fiction.
Of course, we’ve been leaking our own position to distant stars via radio and television signals for six decades now, largely ignorant of the cosmic implications.
But several notable scientists, such as Stephen Hawking, have publicly voiced concerns about revealing our presence to other civilizations. These concerns largely draw from the darker chapters of our own history, when a more advanced civilization would subjugate and displace a less advanced one.
It might be too late for us to withdraw back into invisibility, but maybe not for other intelligent alien civilizations out there. A far-off planet’s inhabitants might prefer to hide from the likes of us.
In 2016, my graduate student Alex Teachey and I published a paper that proposes a way to cloak planets, as well as a way to broadcast a civilization’s existence.
Even if we’re not manipulating our own signal in this way, it doesn’t mean other planets out there aren’t. It’s possible what we see as we scan the universe for other habitable planets has been engineered to disguise or highlight the existence of other civilizations.
Tracking transits to find other planets
Before we talk about how to hide a planet from distant voyeurs, consider the best way we’ve figured out to find one.
Humanity’s most successful technique for detecting other planets is the transit method. A transit occurs when a planet appears to pass in front of its parent sun, blocking out some of its starlight for a few hours.
So if we have our telescopes trained at one part of the universe and a star seems to fade out for part of a day, that tells us that a planet has temporarily come between us as it goes about its orbit.
Using this technique, NASA’s Kepler Mission has discovered several thousand planets.
It seems likely that any advanced civilization would be aware of this simple method. Each time a planet transits its star, its existence is essentially being advertised to all points lying along the same plane as the planet and star.
An advanced civilization might be okay having its planet’s location, size and even atmospheric chemistry advertised across the cosmos. Or it might wish to conceal its presence. If the latter, it might choose to build a cloak.
A planetary invisibility cloak
It turns out that hiding planets from the transit method would be surprisingly easy, so easy that we earthlings could do it right now, if we chose. Since transits appear as a brightness decrease of a distant star, our hypothetical cloak simply produces the opposite brightness increase.
Lasers provide an efficient means of countering that dip in brightness. All a laser’s power is contained in a relatively narrow beam, as opposed to spreading out in all directions like starlight does.
Due to the way light spreads as it travels – called diffraction – the laser beam would spread to encompass entire solar systems after journeying many light years across space, bathing that distant planetary system within the cloaking beam. No dip in brightness makes it look like there’s no planet there at all.
A laser cloak capable of hiding the Earth from an alien version of NASA’s Kepler Mission would require 30 megawatts of power at peak intensity, approximately equivalent to 10 wind turbines worth of power output.
While Kepler sees light in only one color, advanced civilizations might use more sophisticated detectors capable of collecting light at all wavelengths. Here too, our current technology could cloak us using modern tunable lasers, for a cost of about 10 times more power overall.
More advanced civilizations might be able to detect other fine details of the light’s properties, betraying the cloak. But here too there’s no reason why with a little bit of work we couldn’t engineer solutions, leading to a near perfect cloak which could be targeted at distant stars where we suspect someone might be home.
Why choose to hide
So yes, it sounds like science fiction, but even current technology could do a fine job of cloaking the Earth’s transit signature.
Forget the Earth though; we never really thought of this as something humanity should or should not do. Instead, we posit that if our rudimentary human technology can build such an effective transit cloak at relatively little economic cost, then more advanced civilizations may be able to hide from us with respect to all detection techniques. The universe might not be all that it seems.
Why might a civilization choose to wrap itself in invisibility? It could be a sort of insurance policy: find the nearby planets with potential for supporting life and turn on a targeted cloak – just in case a civilization ever emerges. Such a policy effectively buys them time to reveal their presence when they see fit.
Given how cheap such a cloak would be, an insurance policy for your home planet is perhaps not as strange as it seems. It’s certainly not implausible a civilization might want to bide its time – surveilling the neighbors for a while before rolling out the intergalactic welcome mat.
But there’s a flip side to this technology that could turn it from an invisibility cloak into more of a we-are-here spotlight.
The reverse: flick on the beacon
Perhaps not all civilizations are xenophobic – some might want to talk. If you wanted to reveal your presence to other civilizations as cheaply and unambiguously as possible, how might you do it?
Imagine looking at some data of a distant planet – which has become a somewhat normal enterprise for astronomers – and noticing something weird.
The signature of the planet has a strange shape – in fact, none of your models are able to explain it. It looks like someone has imprinted a series of spikes into the data, following the prime number series.
Nothing in nature can do this – you have just detected another civilization’s beacon. Alternative use of the cloaking system’s laser could be to make a planet’s signal look highly artificial, instead of hidden. Now they don’t care about building the perfect cloak; they want to be found!
Could such signals be lurking in our existing measurements? Perhaps so. No one has ever looked, and we hope our work sparks efforts on that front. It may be a long shot, since to even get to this point we need to try to imagine how aliens might think – but given the scientific prize on offer it’s also worth it.
If we identify a strange transit, it may well contain information encoded via laser light pulses. Huge volumes of information could be hidden within the transit signatures of other planets.
For us, this was an exercise in intellectual curiosity. We simply calculated how much energy it would take to either cloak or broadcast a planet’s existence.
Whether we should seriously consider wrapping Earth in a protective cloak of invisibility – or conversely, getting serious about trumpeting our existence – via laser manipulations is something we should all decide together.

The Knowles UFO Encounter: Entire Car Was Lifted Up Off The Road
The Knowles UFO Encounter: Entire Car Was Lifted Up Off The Road
One of the most unique UFO encounters from the 1980s occurred on the Nullabor Plain, in a remote area of Australia.
On January 20, 1988, the Knowles family, including Fay Knowles and her three sons, Patrick (24), Sean (21), and Wayne (18) and their two dogs, drove along a desolate road at around 4:00 a.m when a bright light object was seen ahead of them.
At about 20 metres from the object, the family say they were confronted with a white blinding light that moved along in front of their moving vehicle. At first they thought it was a large truck, but as they approached, it was about 1 metre wide and described as a slightly angular egg in an egg-cup shape with a yellow centre.
The object, which at first appeared to be either on the ground or immediately above it then began to move back and forth. Sean swerved the car to the opposite side of the road to avoid a collision with the object, but then nearly collided with a station wagon towing a caravan coming in the other direction. As the Knowles family drove by, the strange object started to pace their car. Then it started to maneuver around the car.
At one point, the object seemed to leave, but then suddenly, the unthinkable happened. The object returned and actually landed on top of the car. The family heard a loud clunking noise and felt the car shake. Suddenly, the entire vehicle was lifted up off the road.
Mrs. Knowles reached out her window and touched the object, which she said felt “spongy and rubbery.” She pulled her hand back in, and it was covered with strange black dust. Suddenly, the entire car filled with the black dust. At the same time, a high-pitched sound was then heard, which sent the dogs into a frenzy.
The family became disoriented and felt that their voices had become slower, and lower in pitch. They believed at this point that they were going to die. Patrick said that he felt that his ‘brain was being sucked out’, and Mrs Knowles likened it to having something ‘going into our heads’.
A while later, the family felt the car forced back down onto the road, bursting the rear right tyre. Sean brought the car to a sudden stop and then blacked out. The family left the car hurriedly and hid in some bushes by the side of the road. Meanwhile, the UFO remained above the car for a few moments and then darted away. They remained there for 15 minutes before changing the tyre and continuing on to the nearest town.
Unknown to the Knowles, a trucker just a few miles down the highway also observed the strange object as it sent down what appeared to be beams of white light. The Knowles family was extremely traumatized and the police were notified.
Faye Knowles, a mother of three, also told police that her speech and that of her sons changed during the encounter along the highway.
Police dismissed any suggestion of a hoax.
″We were a little bit skeptical at first,″ said Sgt. Jim Furnell of Ceduna Police in the state of South Australia. ″But after investigating, we are treating the reports very seriously.″
She told police she was driving through the Nullabor Plain from Perth in Western Australia when she first saw a glowing object in her rear window at 2:45 a.m. Wednesday
″It apparently picked the car up off the road, shook it quite violently and forced the car back with such pressure that one of the tires was blown,″ Furnell said.
″While this was happening the family said their voices were distorted and it was as if they were talking in slow motion.″
The crew of a tuna boat 50 miles away also said they were buzzed by an unidentified flying object minutes later, and that their voices become unintelligible as a result.
Police said the crew of the tuna boat could not have known about the Knowles’ experience when they reported a UFO sighting in the Great Australia Bight, a body of water off the Australian coast.
Somehow the media heard about the sensational case and the Knowles became overnight, reluctant celebrities. Despite the physical evidence of their encounter (including strange indentations on the roof of their vehicle and the weird black dust), the family was ridiculed intensely in the press.
Although they never backed down or changed their story, they later said that they regretted coming forward because of how they were treated.

Indrukwekkende rij lichtjes gespot die ‘als trein’ boven Brabant beweegt, UFO Meldpunt stroomt vol
Vlogen tientallen drones precies achter elkaar door de lucht of was het een baan van goed zichtbare sterren? Het UFO Meldpunt Nederland kreeg over de rij lichtjes die vrijdagavond boven Brabant werd gespot flink wat meldingen binnen.
Erik Luiten
,,Terwijl ik van het toilet kwam riep mijn vrouw mij geschrokken naar buiten”, schrijft iemand die de lichtjes boven Roosendaal zag. ,,We waren getuige van de reeks die van west naar oost bewoog.” Hij deed een melding bij het meldpuntvoor Unidentified flying objects, en was zeker niet de enige die dat deed.
Het gaat om zestig lichtjes die gedurende vijf minuten rond 22.45 uur boven Nederland te zien waren. Op Twitter stroomden ook reacties binnen van spotters. Sommigen waren verbaasd, anderen wisten meteen wat er te zien was: de Starlink-satellieten van SpaceX.
Het bedrijf van Elon Musk lanceerde op 18 maart vanaf het Kennedy Space Center in Florida zijn satellieten, die in een baan om de aarde zijn gebracht. Ze zijn al eerder gespot en zullen zeker ook vaker te zien zijn.
Netwerk
,,Het is een heel indrukwekkend en spectaculair verschijnsel”, zei wetenschapsjournalist Govert Schilling eerder. ,,In het begin zitten ze heel dicht op elkaar en zijn ze als een lijn van ‘heldere sterren’ te zien. In de loop van de tijd waaieren ze uit en worden ze op grotere hoogte gebracht. Na een tijdje zijn ze niet meer te zien.”
In totaal wil het bedrijf van Musk zo’n 12.000 van deze kunstmanen de ruimte in schieten. Het netwerk moet gaan zorgen voor een nieuwe generatie internet met hoge kwaliteit en lage kosten.
On April 20, 1979, a cattle mutilation conference organized by former moon-walking Apollo astronaut Sen. Harrison Schmitt (R-New Mexico) was held at the Albuquerque Public Library. Schmitt opened the conference by telling the attendees:
There are few activities more dangerous than an unsolved pattern of crime. There is always the potential for such crimes to escalate in frequency and severity if allowed to go unsolved and unpunished. Such a dangerous pattern of crime is the mutilation killings of thousands of cattle, horses, and other animals over the past several years throughout many states…In the last five years – and probably longer – in at least fifteen states animals have been killed and systematically mutilated for no apparent purpose, by persons unknown.
This now legendary and somewhat controversial conference included in attendance “FBI agents, state police, sheriffs and local police from around the country, Indian pueblo governors, tribal police chiefs, Los Alamos scientists, veterinarians, New Agers in robes, hippies, news media, politicians, spooky agent types, dusty ranchers in beat-up cowboy hats, independent researchers and, of course, ufologists of all stripes and colors”1 —not to mention a growing legion of cattle mute sleuths, among them Tom Adams, Gary Massey and David Perkins.
In January 1978, Tom Adams began publishing the newsletterStigmata, which soon became the central clearinghouse for a growing cattle mute subculture. Adams—along with his cow-curious colleagues, Massey and Perkins—referred to themselves self-deprecatingly as “mutologists.” According to Perkins, “We thought that being professional ‘mutologists’ sounded a little classier than ‘weird people who get a kick out of looking at dead cows.’”2As Perkins recalled:
I first met Gary Massey and his partner Tom Adams in the mid-1970s in Colorado. They were a dynamic investigative duo, hot on the trail of the elusive cattle mutilators. The three of us quickly formed a close bond. Over the next several years we spent endless hours traveling together in Gary’s big van ‘Thang’, investigating mutilation cases, attending conferences and scanning the skies from my mountain top home in Colorado. We were the Three Musketeers of ‘mutology’, although at times, we seemed a bit more like the Three Stooges.

A Yale trained sociologist, Perkins ventured westward in the late 1960s to study non-traditional communities, and during his research became part of one such counterculture experiment, joining the Libre commune in Southern Colorado in 1970. Perkins (known by the name of Izzy Zane to his cattle mute coterie) suddenly found himself on the front lines of mutology after encountering one such beastie in his rural neighborhood in 1975. Curiously enough, the only evidence discovered at the cattle mute scene was drops of blood that led back in the direction of Perkins’ home. Perkins later learned that the local sheriff had considered him, at least for a short time, to be a suspect in the case.
Intrigued by his initial cattle mute encounter, Perkins went on to establish the Animal Mutilation Probe (AMP), documenting his own case in addition to a slew of others he investigated in the ensuing years, along the way becoming an authority on the subject. In the summer of 1979, Perkins was contacted by Linda Howe, who was then working as a news reporter for the Denver CBS affiliate station KMGH TV. Howe, at the time, had just started digging into the rash of mutes spreading like wildfire across Colorado and the Four Corners region, and so she reached out to Perkins to learn from him all he knew about the subject, and to tap into his extensive network of cattle mute contacts.
On June 12, at Linda Howe’s request, Perkins loaded up his extensive case files into his ‘64 Plymouth Valiant station wagon (known endearingly as The Mutemobile) and hauled them 200 miles to the KMGH offices where Howe immediately began making copies of everything and hashing out plans with Perkins to take her and a film crew on a road trip later that year, the end results of which appeared in Howe’s documentary, A Strange Harvest. During their June 12 meeting, Perkins promised he’d give Howe a heads-up if any new cattle mute cases came to his attention. A couple weeks later, on June 25, Perkins was alerted to a mute discovered on the Potts Ranch in Walsenburg, Colorado. According to Perkins:
By the time I got there, the animal had been lying in the blazing sun for several hours. Its mouth was only partially open and I wanted to see if the tongue had been removed. I tried to pry open the jaws by hand but was unsuccessful. I found a stick and used it as a crowbar. After a few tries, the jaw finally popped open. In that process, I apparently opened up a pathway for the bull to release an explosive noxious spew of heated stomach gases and gross particulate matter…directly into my face. Indeed there was no tongue, at least as far back in the throat as I could see…I took a photo of Linda and her cameraman crouching over the mute, and in it you can see the very stick I used for that misadventure….
Due to Perkins’ involvement in the field of mutology, as well as his academic background, Sen. Harrison Schmitt and Gabe Valdez (who were the prime movers behind the Albuquerque conference) tapped him as the keynote speaker for the event. Perkins recalled:
Getting in front of that group at the conference was pretty rough, and Valdez and Schmitt had picked me for reasons unknown to send me in first. Whether they were feeding me to the lions or what, I don’t know…and I didn’t say a whole lot; I simply provided an overview of the phenomenon. My most memorable line was: ‘The only thing that makes sense about the mutilations is that they make no sense at all.’ That was my first comment to the group, and it was a very Zen comment. And for some reason people picked up on it, and it was repeated by news outlets. And what I was trying to point out was that the whole thing seemed senseless. It just made no sense. I was trying to convey the fact that this was a real conundrum, kind of like a Zen puzzle of some sort for us to figure out.
Following Perkins keynote speech, Tom Adams presented a “preliminary report regarding the appearance of unidentified helicopters at or near mutilation sites.”3 An expanded version of this report was later released under the title of The Choppers…and the Choppers: Mystery Helicopters and Animal Mutilations (1980) documenting over two hundred helicopter/mute cases.
Next up to the podium was Gabe Valdez, who spoke about the strange lights in the sky he’d witnessed in the Dulce area that appeared to be associated with the mutilations. During one of his patrols, Valdez observed one of these lights (a UFO by any other name) flying directly toward Mount Archuleta, near the town of Dulce. Valdez had expected to see the craft crash into the mountainside, but at the last second it vanished into thin air, as if it had somehow flown into, or through, the mountain.
The Albuquerque cattle mutilation conference received mixed reviews, although to those in attendance it seemed a sincere effort on Harrison Schmitt’s part to bring together the principal players in the scene to discuss the impact that the phenomenon was having on the livelihoods of ranching communities throughout the American West.
Among the more vocal critics of the event was reporter Mark Acuff, who in an editorial for TheNew Mexico Independent described the conference as an “exquisite farce” featuring “the strangest collection of weirdos ever assembled in New Mexico.” Such negative portrayals as these were believed to have contributed to Harrison Schmitt’s failed re-election bid in 1982.

Helikopter Ingenuity nu ook voor het eerst te horen op Mars
Helikopter Ingenuity nu ook voor het eerst te horen op Mars
Nasa heeft vrijdag voor het eerst een opname openbaar gemaakt van het geluid van de Ingenuity-helikopter tijdens de vierde vlucht op Mars. De opname werd gemaakt door het Nasa-wagentje Perseverance. Het is de eerste keer dat een ruimtetuig op een andere planeet geluid van een apart ruimtetuig kan opnemen.

Het Amerikaanse luchtvaartagentschap plaatste op Twitter nieuwe beelden van de zeswielige robot tijdens de vierde Ingenuity-vlucht op 30 april, dit keer dus vergezeld van geluid. De video van drie minuten begint met de wind die over de Jezero-krater waait, waar Perseverance op 18 februari landde om sporen van vroeger microbiologisch leven te vinden.
De helikopter is echter niet bijzonder goed te horen, aangezien Perseverance de opname maakte vanop ongeveer 80 meter afstand. Bovendien zorgen de ijle atmosfeer en de wind op Mars voor een gedempt geluid. Maar zelfs het weinige dat er te horen is “is een goudmijn voor een beter begrip van de atmosfeer op Mars”, aldus wetenschappers.
De 1,8 kilo zware Ingenuity (Vindingrijkheid) heeft vrijdag bovendien ook met succes een vijfde vlucht voltooid. Het ging om de eerste enkele reis van de minihelikopter, die dus niet meer terugkeerde naar het startpunt.
Voor de Mars-helikopter, die aan boord was van het NASA-wagentje Perseverance (Volharding), zijn de omstandigheden op Mars extreem. De rotoren moeten door de ijle atmosfeer, ruwweg maar 1 procent van die op aarde, meer dan 2.500 omwentelingen per minuut maken om los te komen van de grond. Daarnaast is de zonne-energie geringer en hebben de accu’s te lijden van de lage temperaturen ‘s nachts, wanneer het kwik kan zakken tot 90 graden onder nul.

Falling China Rocket - Re-Entry Tomorrow? Live
Falling China Rocket - Re-Entry Tomorrow? Live
A Chinese rocket is falling toward Earth and could make re-entry and spread debris tomorrow. Get the latest on the falling China rocket in our LIVE COVERAGE. The Chinese rocket, the Long March 5B (also known as the CZ-5B), was launched last week to put the first stage of China’s new space station into orbit. Now the rocket body is falling back to Earth, and experts believe some rocket debris will survive reentry.
The rocket is currency forecast to make re-entry tomorrow evening, but it could happen even earlier or later. It’s not clear where debris from the China rocket will land because the rocket’s fall is apparently uncontrolled. In this interactive live stream, host Steve Lookner brings you the latest news updates on the falling Chinese rocket, and he’ll also read your comments and questions on the air!
Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service is rapidly launching satellites — here’s everything we know
However, the Starlink launch is different. RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU… What is Starlink? Starlink is a plan by SpaceX to put 12,000 satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) that offer high-speed, low-latency, cheap internet access to anyone anywhere on the planet. That’s the end-game.
Starlink satellite internet service is currently undergoing a public beta—which SpaceX calls a “Better than Nothing Beta” as a reminder that service is still in its infancy. The Starlink beta users are told to expect periodic outages since the satellite constellation is not built out fully.

Economics Professor Offers His Take on the Effect of Aliens for the Economy
Economics Professor Offers His Take on the Effect of Aliens for the Economy
The Pentagon is reportedly gearing up to disclose a flood of still-classified information on several reports involving unidentified aerial phenomena that Navy pilots had encountered dating back to at least 2004. The release is expected to happen this year. Congress even formed an entire task force to investigate whether the strange events represent an actual threat.
The US is seen to finally starting to take UFOs seriously. With this shift, experts are beginning to grapple with some significant questions.
Economist Tyler Cowen recently made an opinion piece for Bloomberg on the possible effects of alien discovery on global markets.
Cowen predicted that most market prices wouldn’t move very much if aliens are really among us. He said the markets might become a little volatile with aliens strolling around. Provided that little green men have no actual threat to our personal wealth and investments, the market number wouldn’t budge much, according to Cowen.
He pointed out an extreme scenario where one million aliens are living under the ocean. He said that case would not affect the Wall Street expectations for the number of iPhones sold next year. He instead expects the increased demand for a fly-by camera option.
Cowen believes that aliens are probably happy with our existence because if it’s not, they’d probably have a leg up and zap us into oblivion wherein neither Bitcoin nor gold will do any good.
According to the writer, it is likely that an alien presence would represent a boon to sci-fi and tourism industries.
However, we’ll have to wait for now and see how having extraterrestrials mingling with humanity will stack the numbers.

THe Pentagon's inspector general is looking into the actions the military has taken to address the spate of UFO sightings in recent years involving high performance aircraft that have violated military airspace.
The probe comes as Congress awaits a public report, due next month, from a host of national security agencies on the issue, and as advocates complain that some departments and agencies are not fully cooperating by sharing data.
"The objective of this evaluation is to determine the extent to which the DoD has taken actions regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)," Randolph Stone, assistant inspector general for evaluations on space, intelligence, engineering and oversight, wrote in a Monday memo to the heads of the military branches and other top military commanders and intelligence chiefs.
"We may revise the objective as the evaluation proceeds, and we will consider suggestions from management for additional or revised objectives," it added.
It was not immediately clear who decided that the department's independent watchdog should take on the issue; the IG's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The IG traditionally investigates allegations of wrongdoing or evaluates how the Pentagon and military branches are handling sensitive or other politically charged issues. It can generate its own investigations or often responds to requests from whistleblowers, Pentagon officials or members of Congress.
The task force is playing a primary role in compiling the report for Congress. A spokesperson for the task force did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the separate IG evaluation.
But one former top Pentagon intelligence official who has lobbied Congress to take more action on such sightings said on Tuesday that the IG's involvement is a positive step to compel the military to take the issue more seriously.
"You are looking at how is it possible that restricted military airspace is being routinely violated for months and years and nobody is informed in the Defense Department or the Congress and there is a complete system breakdown," said Christopher Mellon, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence. "That's a valid thing for them to investigate."
