Mind control SHOCK: How Soviet Union achieved ‘great success’ with PARANORMAL warfare

THE Soviet Union took UFOs seriously with the KGB and the Soviet Defence Ministry dedicating units collecting and analysing information about paranormal activity, a bombshell documentary has revealed.

It is claimed that the Kremlin hoped investigating reports of alien spacecraft could advance aeronautical design.

But now, Dr. David Clarke, a researcher at Sheffield Hallam University, who once managed Britain’s national UFO sightings archive, says that he has found a less far-fetched explanation. Courtesy of a Special Air Service “insider”named “Frank,” who personally contacted the academic who has spent the past three years trying to get to the bottom of the mystery, which has been labeled Britain’s own Roswell.

According to the source the root of the incident goes back to August 1980, when British SAS commandos made a practice landing inside the USAF base, in a live exercise intended to challenge their American allies – a rare but known practice during the Cold War.

But instead of receiving a friendly telling off, the team was allegedly hauled off into cells, mauled, and interrogated at length by US officers, who referred to them as “unidentified aliens.”

“After their release, the troopers made no complaint at their rough treatment but were determined to get their own back on the USAF for the beating that they had received,” said Clarke, quoted in the Daily Mail.

“In particular, their repeated characterization as ‘aliens’ sowed the seeds of a plan. They said: ‘They called us aliens. Right, we'll show them what aliens really look like.’”

So come Christmas, the British supposedly created several contraptions using the materials at hand, such as remote-controlled kites, helium balloons, and colored flares, and launched them into the sky.

If anything, the prank purportedly worked too well – when the US side sent an official report to the UK Ministry of Defence.

“Someone in London recalled the events of the previous August and questions were asked. A few red faces – but also some satisfaction and amusement – followed,” said Clarke.

The USAF was ‘reassured’ at a very senior level and no UK investigation was undertaken – for obvious reasons.”

According to Clarke, who says that he followed up the claims with several officials from the era, this is the reason for what some say appears to have been a continuously blasé reaction from the UK authorities to the incident.

While “Frank’s” yarn is interesting in itself, for determined conspirologists – several men present on the nights of the sightings – who have claimed that the case has been deliberately hushed up by the military, this will likely be treated as a new red herring, put out by the government to throw them off the scent.

Rise in mysterious 'TR-3B UFO sightings' sparks PANIC over 'top-secret US military plans'

THERE has been a shocking rise in alleged TR-3B triangular UFO sightings across the world - with the most recent footage showing the bizarre aircraft close to a US airbase in Ohio.

By OLI SMITH

A recent jump in the number of sightings of alleged TR-3B aircrafts has sparked a panic among online conspiracy communities. Experts fear that there “is something going on” amid concern over top-secret US military experiments or the involvement of extraterrestrials. Michael, of the YouTube channel MrMBB333, posted the latest sighting of the alleged TR-3B in Toledo, Ohio.

He said: “According to the guy who filmed this, it had circled over his neighbourhood at least three times.

It looks like a perfect triangle. You cannot see anything except the lights.

“I’ve tried to put on different light filters to get a clearer picture but all you see are the bright lights.

“We are seeing a lot of these lately - especially in Ohio.

“Something is going on."

The footage shows that the object has a large light in the centre of the triangle, a smaller light in the front and three more across the back.

Viewers remarked the “triangle-shaped crafts are everywhere these days”.

One user said: “I have a feeling were going to start seeing a lot more of this type of situation soon.”

The sighting took place just a few miles from the Wright-Patterson air Force Base - raising concern of US military involvement.

TR-3Bs are a common feature among UFO sightings as large, silent, black triangular objects often spotted at night.

According to government officials, the TR-3B “does not exist".

The theory around these crafts claim they are created at top-secret military bases like Area 51 in Nevada, by reverse engineering alien technology.

Others claim they are actual UFOs flown by aliens visiting Earth.

There have been other sightings of triangular UFOs recently in Russia and North Carolina.

Has the mystery of 'Britain's Roswell' finally been solved? Rendlesham Forest UFO 'landing' was a prank SAS tricksters played on US Airmen, insiders claim

• Rendlesham Forest incident in Suffolk, has intrigued UFO enthusiasts since 1980 
• Military personnel said they saw lights flying in the woods in December that year
• The group was largely convinced they had witnessed an alien spacecraft
• Yet it has now been claimed that the extraterrestrial sighting was a hoax

By JESSICA GREEN FOR MAILONLINE

Dubbed ‘Britain’s Roswell’, the Rendlesham Forest incident in Suffolk, has intrigued UFO enthusiasts since taking place in December 1980.

On three separate nights just before the New Year, military personnel said they saw lights flying in the sky and descending into the woodland - the group was convinced they had seen an alien spacecraft. 

Yet it has now been claimed that the extraterrestrial sighting was a hoax, played on the US air force by the SAS in revenge for capturing a squad and subjecting them to a brutal interrogation.

Since the incident in 1980, Rendlesham Forest has become a site of endless speculation for UFO chasers 

The SAS were said to have regularly tested US security by probing the perimeters of RAF Woodbridge in the English county, which allegedly stored Nuclear warheads and was believed to be a key target for Soviet agents.

But when an SAS troop parachuted into the complex one night in August 1980 they were unaware the guards had upgraded their radar system.

Their black parachutes were immediately detected and the British were hauled off for questioning.

They claimed they were beaten up by their captors who refused to believe who they were and repeatedly referred to as ‘unidentified aliens’, before being released 18 hours later after the British authorities intervened.

On three separate nights just before the New Year, military personnel said they saw lights flying in the sky and descending into the woodland (pictured)

Seething from the interrogation, SAS soldiers were keen to take revenge.

British X-Files expert Dr David Clarke, who has been researching the story for three years, revealed: ‘After their release, the troopers made no complaint at their rough treatment but were determined to get their own back on the USAF for the beating that they had received.

‘In particular, their repeated characterisation as “aliens” sowed the seeds of a plan. They said: “They called us aliens. Right, we'll show them what aliens really look like.”’

As December approached, lights and coloured flares were rigged in Rendlesham Forest. Black helium balloons were also coupled to remote-controlled kites to carry suspended materials into the sky, activated by radio-controls.

Taking place over three nights between 26 and 28 December in 1980, military personnel from nearby RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge witnessed strange lights in the woods and hovering above the airbases which were on high alert as the Cold War was at its peak.

‘A great deal of nocturnal Christmas fun was had at the expense of the USAF - and the matter should have ended there,’ according to a letter written to Dr Clarke by an alleged SAS source.

‘Unfortunately, a senior US officer (Lt Col Halt) led the US contingent out into the forest on the second night and took along his tape recorder.

‘The hovering and whizzing lights were sufficiently impressive for him to send a report to the MoD.

‘Someone in London recalled the events of the previous August and questions were asked. A few red faces - but also some satisfaction and amusement - followed.

‘The USAF was 'reassured' at a very senior level and no UK investigation was undertaken - for obvious reasons.’

Dr Clarke said he was first contacted three years ago by ‘Frank’ who claimed to be a SAS insider.

He had seen Dr Clarke talking about Rendlesham on a TV documentary and felt ‘it was about time that the truth was revealed about the incident’.

Dr Clarke, of the Centre for Contemporary Legend at Sheffield Hallam University, said: ‘I investigated his incredible story by talking to trusted and open sources in the British military, including some high profile former SAS troopers.

‘What happened in the forest, according to Frank, would be bread and butter for special operation soldiers trained to deceive and misinform whilst remaining invisible.’

UFO sighting in San Diego? Shock claim ‘cloaked’ alien spaceship seen monitoring US city

A UFO was spotted in the skies above San Diego, leaving locals of the Californian city worried that they are being WATCHED by aliens.

UFO sighting in San Diego? Shock claim ‘cloaked’ alien spaceship seen monitoring US city 

(Image: UFO SIGHTINGS DAILY)

One resident of San Diego managed to capture an image of what he believes is a UFO – or at least a spaceship which is under a cloaking device. The image shows a strange circular, low-lying cloud which resembles a classic flying saucer. While many have claimed this is just an odd cloud formation, some UFO experts believe it is an alien spaceship which is trying to keep a low profile.

Conspiracy theorists believe that UFOs sometimes resemble clouds, as this way they can monitor the public without making them aware that they are being watched.

Prominent alien hunter Scott C Waring uploaded the picture to his blog, UFO Sightings Daily, writing: “This UFO photo was sent in by a Twitter follower in San Diego today. They noticed a UFO shaped cloud floating overhead unusually low compared to other clouds.

“The fact that this cloud was so low was clearly suspicious, however its shape totally gives away the true shape of the UFO.

“It is a huge disk as you can see from the lines at the bottom of the craft.

“UFOs often create cloud cover around them when they want to fly unusually low to scan the residence below.

“This way they do not frighten anyone and people who see the cloud only shrug their shoulders and ignore it.

“However occasionally a person can sense being watched and will notice the cloaked UFO and take its photo to share with others.”

However, it would seem that the most likely explanation would be apophenia – where the brain recognises specific patterns in things.

If someone has hinted something looks like a UFO for example, the brain will try to picture it in that way.

“This Planet Will Be Theirs” – Professor Explains His Startling Conclusions About Alien Abductions

By Arjun Walia

Yeah, the title of this article can seem quite scary, but this is one perception and there is a lot to talk about here.

To even contemplate the idea that (some) intelligent extraterrestrials are taking human beings against their will for unknown reasons, subjecting them to several different experiences that will be elaborated on later in this article, and then (in most cases) returning them from where they were taken, can completely destroy one’s worldview paradigm.

It seems like something out of a horror movie, perhaps it would be best to take the perspective of all the animals that we take for our own entertainment and scientific purposes, that animal would most-likely have a difficult time comprehending what exactly is going on and would probably assume there is nothing but malevolent forces at work. Furthermore, we ourselves, have a difficult time communicating with that animal, and cannot get through to it due to the fact that it’s so extremely panic ridden.

Is this what’s going on in abductions? Perhaps there is something greater at play, even for our own good? Perhaps not. Many abductees, although subjected to much trauma, have had a sense of comfort and also telepathic communications letting them know that they’ll be alright. What’s going on here? Some sort of science experiment? Genetic manipulation? Human/alien hybridization?

Abductees vs Contactees

Watch our free screening on CETV with contactee Susan Manewich.

Before we get into it, it’s also important to mention the fact that when it comes to extraterrestrial contact, of which millions of people have claimed to have had, there are multiple categories. There are abductees, as described above, and there are contactee’s, those who are not taken forcefully but rather have encounter(s) with supposed intelligent extraterrestrials, sometimes friendly, and other times a quite fearful experience as well. Then there are those who claim to be ‘channeling’ extraterrestrial beings, but have not experienced physical contact.

An example of a ‘contactee’ experience would be when more than 60 school children in Ruwa, Zimbabwe witnessed the landing of a spacecraft by their schoolyard. Two beings apparently came out of the craft and were seen by the children. These beings were also conveying telepathic messages to the children. The messages included the care-taking of our planet, and what would happen if we don’t turn it around. Many of them had disturbing visions, and are still speaking about the encounter today, which was made public by Harvard psychiatrist John Mack. You can read more about that story in detail, here.

Mack, now deceased, is a great source for information when it comes to abductees and contactee’s, another great one is Dr. David Jacobs a recently retired Professor and historian at Temple University who makes a very interesting point,

Now, let us suppose it is not happening, all those things still remain, and yet it’s not happening, there is no such thing as the abduction phenomenon. If that is the case, we have found the most important thing ever in the history of neurology, brain function, cognition…all these people are saying the same thing at their risk, this is not going to bring applause to them , that they say they’ve been abducted by aliens from outer space. High functioning people say this knowing full well it could destroy their careers, and they say this around the world…And it’s not happening then what? (source)

Why Are They Abducting Humans?

Some of what people report as UFOs are extraterrestrial (ET) vehicles. Some of those extraterrestrial vehicles actually have ET crews, and some of those ET crews catch and release humans

– Don Donderi, Retired McGill University professor, Department of Psychology (source)

There are multiple theories based on the abductees and those who are actively involved with the research. One common theme seems to be an alien/human hybridization program. Many abductees claim to have been subjected to strange procedures, from having their sperm or egg extracted from the body, sometimes for males this occurs through forced orgasm. Others report being forced to breed with a human-like extraterrestrial.

Many women who are abducted and subjected to these procedures become pregnant shortly after they are returned, and during their pregnancy they experience another abduction event where they are returned without their fetus inside of them. After this, the next abduction usually occurs years later, and involves the abductee inside of a ‘meet and greet’ with their hybrid child, or children. They spend time together aboard the craft, and are observed during this type of activity by the extraterrestrials.

This is extremely common for women, women have these experiences all the time.

– Jacobs

According to Dr. Jacobs, in a recent interview he gave with UFO researcher and historian Richard Dolan (see below), there is some type of ‘take-over agenda.’ Some of these hybrids return to Earth with their mother, and are, according to Jacobs, currently living amongst us. They do not know our ways, have many questions, and seem to be in ‘observation’ mode. Dolan describes them as lacking emotion, Jacobs feels that they are very logical and very curious about our ways. He’s even been in contact with a supposed hybrid, via the parent. He hypothesizes that “this planet will be theirs.” These hybrids also apparently have the ability to neurologically control humans to some extent, from a close distance of a few feet.

When they come here, I’m making very large claims of course, when they come here, as people have told me, they are naive . There is only so much they can learn being on board a UFO, once they come here to live in human society, they learn that there is a lot more to learn. So, the abductee takes them to the supermarket, and teaches them how to buy food etc…They are amazingly good at remembering things…all information is remembered…Their brains are different than ours. They can  control us, from a few feet away, and that control is, that’s a bad one.

– Jacbos

Keep in mind, we are talking about the typical Gray alien here. It’s important to mention that abductees and contactees have reported multiple beings, from the grey alien, to reptilian beings, insect and animal like beings all the way to human looking extraterrestrials of various sizes, and obviously, hybrid looking type of humanoids as well.

The ability to neurologically control others, is indeed scary, and for a being of those capabilities, you would hope that they are nothing but service to others, as I am sure we all do.

Furthermore, we are talking about regular people, doctors, lawyers, university professors, people who are struggling, living in poverty etc. These abductees are located all over the world, from all walks of life, and all share practically the exact same story when they are hypnotically regressed. We’ll get to that point shortly as I want to elaborate on it more.

It does not matter what country they come from, they all say the same thing. -Jacbos

This is amazing, considering the fact that thousands of these people have been regressed by researchers.

It’s also interesting to note that hybrids are not only composed of half human, and half alien, but there are also exchanges between hybrids with humans as well. There are multiple generations with varying amounts of alien/human, based on the research of those mentioned in this article.

Are They ‘Good’ or ‘Bad?’

Obviously, we don’t know the answer to this question, but the overall gist from most researchers is that the main idea is the preservation of our planet. This comes from experiences like the one mentioned earlier in the article about the 60 school children in Zimbabwe. Not only that, this narrative comes from multiple credible ‘insiders’ with very interesting backgrounds.

There is what seems to be a lot of benevolence when it comes to examining the intention of these supposed beings, but there are also hints of malevolence as well.

Colonel Ross Dedrickson is one of many examples I’ve used in the past. He was assigned to the US Atomic Energy Commission and has had a long service there between 1950-1958 made him privy to some very sensitive information. He eventually decided to go public and tell the world that the “preservation of the planet is their main concern.” He did so in this interview with Dr. Steven Greer.

He was not talking about hybrids, but simply extraterrestrials. Who knows if the group he was referring to is the same group involved with the hybridization program?

Again, we are talking about what could be multiple groups visiting our planet, others with perhaps some benevolent intent, and others, unfortunately, with some malevolent intent. It seems that the Gray alien is most involved with the abduction phenomenon, along with insect like beings and reptilian type beings as well.

But what about this hybridization program? Is it benevolent or malevolent? There are differing opinions here among those who are involved with this research. In the interview with Jacobs, Dolan compares these hybrids to psychopaths who don’t seem to have any empathy, at least that’s the way it can look sometimes. He claims that some of them are “faking their way,” simply to find out more about what’s going and how we operate here, or at least this could be a possibility.

This goes along with Jacobs’ hypothesis, that the purpose here is the colonization of the Earth.

I’m not sure if I agree with the empathy comments by Dolan. These are things we do not know, we do not know how they feel towards others, how they would react if they saw someone in a helpless situation. It’s also important to keep in mind that Dolan could be correct, they are after all half alien, and an important part of some sort of unknown agenda that’s going on that’s been conducted by this ET group. How do we know if ET’s have the same emotional capacity as us? Does that make them bad or good? It’s our human perception in the end that filters what we see.

Perhaps the ‘abductors’ are ‘working’ for someone else? Another group? Who knows.

Are they seeding the planet with a hybrid population? Is this simply another step in our evolution and how it’s happened all along? Is this some sort of take over agenda for self serving purposes, or have human beings messed up so much that the preservation of the planet requires a completely new race? We don’t really have many answers yet to be honest. At this point, we can’t really draw any conclusions.

I do not believe feelings and intuition should be used to decipher mass truth about the phenomena at this point, but I personally feel there is an important role to play for hybrids, and that they will know this role when the time comes. But again, who knows, everything at this point, for the most part, is speculation, except for the fact that they are here and that they are increasing in numbers.

Perhaps all of us are some sort of hybrid?

We don’t know enough yet, and there is still a lot to find out as time goes on. It seems that there is simply a hybridization program taking place and that these hybrids have been walking amongst us for quite some time. If something overly sinister was supposed to happen, I feel it already would have. But then again, there is a possibility that this phenomenon did not start until after World War 2, at least Dr. Jacobs seems to believe that based on his research (he mentioned that in the interview).

If this is the case perhaps we are looking at some type of military component? I say this because based on my research, some ‘alien’ abductions may be military abductions that utilize psychotronic weapons.

In the interview, Jacobs mentions a colleague of his who is also heavily engaged in abduction research. He does not seem to share the same ‘grim’ type of perspective, despite the fact that he is getting the exact same results.

The colleagues name is Young-hae Chi, who also engages in abduction research. He is a professor at the University of Oxford.

Below is a link to the entire interview with Dolan and Jacobs if you’d like to listen to it in its entirety. Later on you will find a lecture from Young-hae Chi.

The Findings Are The Exact Same

We know that the phenomenon is very, very widespread around the world. People think that this is an American phenomenon, it is not. I’ve worked with people from Africa, and Asia, and Latin-America, and Europe and so forth… All say the same thing all around the world, it does not matter where they’re from. People often ask me whether there’s any consistency in abduction accounts, the consistency is mind-boggling.

– Jacobs. (source)

Chi, Jacobs, and others before them, have regressed and researched thousands of people. Chi, in Korea, and Jacobs in the United States.  They correspond with each other, as virtually all abduction researchers have found. They’ve found that the stories coming out of hypnotic regressions are the same, with very similar but unique differences, for practically everyone.

How jaw-dropping is this? Either there is some sort of new mental condition, or some type of psychosis happening that’s not looked at or mentioned, or, something is really going on here.

Susan has been involved in extensive contactee research and shares EXACTLY what is similar in contactee experiences. We interviewed her on CETV.

It seems the latter, especially given all of the evidence that already exists for the existence of UFOs that are piloted by an extraterrestrial being.

Jacobs believes that the purpose for these programs is the colonization of Earth, as mentioned. But Young, however, based on his research, believes in the benevolent theory, that this is being done to spark a more compassionate and environmentally aware citizenry who actually care about the planet they live on.

Interesting isn’t it?

Below is a full lecture by Chi discussing his conclusions.

The Takeaway

The UFO phenomenon is no longer taboo, and the idea that some of these craft may be piloted by intelligent extraterrestrial beings has, in my opinion, strong evidence behind it. We have statements from thousands of credible people from within the military, intelligence agencies, governments, academia and more that has all been complimented by physical evidence and electro-optical data. The conversation gets deeper into why they are here, what are they doing, how their craft work etc…It leaves no area of humanity untouched.

The abduction phenomenon in particular can be quite ‘scary,’ but as you can see based on the information provided within this article, there are many unknowns, and it’s still hard to determine what exactly is going on. To be honest, I still believe it’s something far greater than we may be able to comprehend at this moment.

Based on witness testimony, and the fact that many of these craft have taken, as former Canadian Defence Minister Paul Hellyer once said, “corrective measures to avoid our aircraft,” it seems they are not here to harm. That being said, the protocol still seems to “shoot first and ask questions after,” which is how, possibly, Dr. Edgar Mitchell knew that “there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered.”

One thing is for certain, we are not alone, and we’ve never been alone.

Perhaps the preservation of the planet is something more important than WE are…

• The US Government Just Admitted To Recovering Materials From UFOs – Here Are The Latest Updates

{ https://www.collective-evolution.com/ }

BUITENAARDSE ONTMOETINGEN KOMEN WEL DEGELIJK VOOR...

Wanneer we vandaag de dag een ufo zien vliegen, dan moeten wij ons eigenlijk altijd afvragen of het een buitenaards of misschien toch een aards object is. 

Dat neemt niet weg dat er wel degelijk buitenaardsen zijn die onze planeet bezoeken (of zelfs bewonen) en dat er mensen zijn die hen ontmoeten.

Misschien zullen veel mensen die een vreemde ervaring hebben en misschien een stukje tijd kwijt zijn, simpelweg hun mond dicht houden uit angst dat ze belachelijk gemaakt zullen worden. Want, dat schijnt nu eenmaal de standaard reactie te zijn in mainstreamland wanneer iemand iets overkomt wat niet één-twee-drie te verklaren is. 

Wanneer je doorsnee mensen op straat vraagt wat ze vinden van ufo’s en/of buitenaardsen, dan begint 99 procent spontaan te giechelen. Dat schijnt nu eenmaal de reactie te zijn die bij mensen ingebakken zit. Want, stel je voor dat ze serieus zouden reageren, dan denkt men misschien wel dat ook zij een aluhoedje zijn die ze ziet vliegen. Vandaar de lacherige reactie, want daarmee zit je altijd goed voor het geval vrienden, bekenden of collega’s jouw antwoord zouden horen. 

Daarom kennen we misschien maar een fractie van contact het dat er is geweest tussen buitenaardsen en mensen. En toch zijn er gelukkig die wel hun mond hebben open gedaan. 

Er is een groot verschil tussen ontvoeringen door buitenaardsen en "normaal" contact, waarbij men al of niet wordt uitgenodigd om een kijkje te nemen in hun ruimteschip. 

Vandaag twee voorbeelden van dergelijke ontmoetingen waarbij beiden gemeen hebben dat het ruimtevoertuig dat ze beschrijven veel gelijkenissen vertoont en dat het beiden vrijwillige ontmoetingen betreft zonder een ontvoering. 

De eerste betreft het verhaal van de Amerikaanse politieman Herbert Schirmer.

Schirmer was politieman in Ahsland in de Amerikaanse staat Nebraska en vroeg in de ochtend van 3 december 1967 op patrouille in zijn politieauto toen hij een vreemd object gewaar werd. In eerste instantie dacht hij dat het een soort pickup truck met pech was, maar toen hij dichterbij kwam en het object in het licht van de koplampen kreeg werd het heel duidelijk dat hier geen sprake was van een auto. 

Het was een soort eivormig object dat net boven de grond leek te zweven. Hij zag flitsende rode lichten en plotsklaps verdween het object in de lucht, vloog recht over de politieauto en was vertrokken. Schirmer reed als een speer terug naar het politiebureau en schreef wat er gebeurd was in het logboek op het bureau. Daar stond letterlijk: Geloof het of niet, maar ik heb een vliegende schotel gezien op de kruising van snelweg 6 en 63. 

Het was pas later dat hij besefte dat er tijd "kwijt" was. Een uur waarin hij geen weet had van wat er gebeurde. Pas na zes jaar besloot Schirmer er wat aan te gaan doen en ging onder hypnose.

De hypnose sessies werden uitgevoerd door Dr. Leo Winkle uit Colorado en daarna werd bekend wat er precies gebeurd was in het uur dat ontbrak. 

Het begint weer als het object opduikt in het licht van de koplampen van de politieauto, maar dit keer ziet hij drie mensachtige wezens die uit het object tevoorschijn komen. Ze waren niet groot, tussen de 1 meter 20 en 1 meter 50 misschien. 

Ze liepen op de politieauto af en kwamen naar de zijkant waar zich raam aan de bestuurderskant bevond. Schirmer had zijn raam geopend en degene van de drie van wie Schirmer aan nam dat dit de leider was, leunde naar binnen en vroeg of hij de nachtwaker van de plaats was. Dit werd door Schirmer bevestigend beantwoord en het was toen ook dat hij zag dat ze uniformen droegen met daarop de afbeelding van een gevleugelde slang. Schirmer werd vervolgens uitgenodigd om een kijkje te komen nemen aan boord van het object en kreeg wat hij later noemde een “tour”. 

De alien die klaarblijkelijk de leiding had zei tegen Schirmer: “We willen dat je in ons gelooft, maar niet al teveel”. Daarna werd Schirmer teruggebracht naar zijn auto en werd zijn geheugen gewist zodat hij zich niets kon herinneren over de ontmoeting. Tot het moment dat hij onder hypnose ging uiteraard. 

Een tweede geval, waarbij geen sprake was van een ontvoering, maar een ontmoeting, vond plaats in Polen. Het overkwam de Poolse boer Jan Wolski op 10 mei 1978 in het dorpje Emilcin in het oosten van Polen.

Het verhaal zoals Wolski dat vertelde begon die dag toen hij met zijn boerenkar door de bossen reed in de buurt van Emilcin. Opeens zag hij twee figuren in de verte. Toen hij hen naderde sprongen ze op zijn wagen en begonnen te praten in een voor hem vreemde en onbekende taal. 

Ze hadden een soort dunne stemmetjes en bleven maar praten terwijl Wolski er helemaal niets van begreep van wat ze eigenlijk probeerden te zeggen. Ondertussen bleef hij verder rijden met zijn boerenkar en toen hij vanachter wat struikgewas vandaan kwam, zag hij een object waarvan hij dacht dat het een auto was. 

Maar, het vreemde was dat wat Wolski dacht dat een auto was, een meter of zo boven de grond zweefde en dan weer wat omhoog kwam en weer terug daalde. Het object had de grootte van een bus met allerlei elementen die een soort zoemend geluid maakten en was geheel wit. 

Wolski had toch op de één of andere manier begrepen dat hij werd uitgenodigd om aan boord te komen en was blij dat er een soort lift scheen te zijn die hij kon gebruiken. Eenmaal binnen kon hij ook de wezens beter bekijken en deze hadden een groene huid, met vingers die eruit zagen als vinnen en droegen een strak zittende zwarte overall. 

Binnen was het een vrij kale bedoening en Wolski begreep dat hij werd gevraagd zich uit te kleden. Dit deed hij en vervolgens werd hij door de aliens onderzocht die daarbij gebruik maakten van een soort kleine platen. Vervolgens mocht hij zijn kleren weer aantrekken en kreeg iets aangeboden wat leek op een soort voedsel, wat voornamelijk uit honing bestond. Wolski weigerde dit beleeft omdat hij zei geen honger te hebben.

Onderweg naar buiten zei Wolski beleefd “tot ziens” en de aliens knikten beleefd terug. In het krantenknipsel hierboven een afbeelding van het object zoals dat werd beschreven door Wolski. 

Jan Wolski is altijd bij zijn verhaal gebleven ondanks dat de mainstream media uiteraard alles gedaan hebben om deze man weg te zetten als iemand die de weg kwijt is. Tot op de dag van vandaag is het de meest bekende ontmoeting met buitenaardsen in Polen en is er op de plek waar dit alles gebeurde zelfs een monument geplaatst.

Mensen zoals Herbert Schirmer en Jan Wolski hadden natuurlijk geen enkel belang om zomaar een verhaal te verzinnen. Daar komt bij dat het verhaal van Schirmer onder hypnose is bevestigd en het zou ons ook niet verbazen dat dit misschien de reden is dat ze regressiehypnose niet langer vergoeden via de aanvullende zorgverzekering. Stel je voor dat er veel meer verhalen boven water komen die men liever niet wil horen. 

Wij zijn heel benieuwd of er mensen zijn in Nederland of België, elders mag ook natuurlijk, die een ontmoeting hebben gehad met buitenaardsen. Als die er zijn, stuur ons het verhaal en wij beloven er discreet mee om te gaan en bij toestemming eventueel (anoniem) te publiceren.

While the scientist who reportedly created the first gene-edited babies sits locked up under house arrest in an undisclosed location, other Chinese researchers are hard at work making clones of pets for fun and profit. Did you get a cute kitten for Christmas? Would you like a few (or a few hundred) more in case it runs away? Got $55,000? A company in Beijing announced its first batch of kitten clones will be ready in March 2019 and it’s looking for new customers. Are they getting their funding from a kitty litter manufacturer?

“This project is unlikely to be of great scientific interest, but we see great potential in it for the PCR cloning market.”

The Global Times interviewed Zhao Jianping, deputy general manager of the biotech company Sinogene which is doing the cat cloning after successfully (and profitably) cloning pet dogs. “PCR cloning” refers to the Polymerase Chain Reaction technique, which is a rapid method for cloning genes in large quantities. This is needed because the eggs of dogs are the most difficult to replicate due to their sensitivity to environmental changes.

“We have about 20 clients, in order to create an animal for them, we need from six months to 10 months.”

Those clients will be getting their kittens in March after plunking down their 380,000 yuan ($55,117) for each one and providing Sinogene with their dearly departed cats. While it’s not specified whether the first clients requested it or what the additional fee might be, Sinogene also offers gene editing to correct birth defects. That poor misguided and now incarcerated scientist who edited human genes for the same purpose must be kicking himself … if he’s still alive and still has kneecaps.

We know what you’re thinking (especially you non-pet lovers) … do we really need to clone kittens? The article agrees, pointing out that China has more than 73 million pet owners and 91 million cats and dogs. On the other hand, many Chinese couples, like their American counterparts, would prefer to have a cat to a child. In addition, pet cloning, while new, has a huge profit potential in China – from January-August 2018, the market for cats and dogs exceeded 170 billion yuan ($24 billion), a 27% increase in the annual rate.

What could possibly go wrong? The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals reports that each year, approximately 1.4 million cats are euthanized in the U.S. alone. That doesn’t count those killed in traffic or by other animals or by means other than euthanization. Those numbers are likely to be the same in China, adjusted proportionately for its larger population. That $55,000 could save a lot of really cute kittens in need of a loving home, especially since Zhao Jianping points out that cloning isn’t perfect because, while looking like the original, it lacks its memory and emotions.

While one gene scientist remains under house arrest, others are free to get rich by unleashing expensive cats on a world already overflowing with millions whose humans abandoned them.

Who really needs to be locked up?

As the guys who just became the first and second humans ever to cross the continent on a solo expedition can attest, Antarctica is one quiet place to be. Besides hearing a pin drop to the ice at your feet, that eerie silence means sounds carry, allowing one to hear a pin drop or a glacier break from miles away. It’s hard enough to identity those sounds being picked up on the horizontal plane … it can be nearly impossible and sometimes scary when they’re coming down from space. Aliens? The researchers aren’t completely sure of the cause, but while they study the sounds, they’re also selling the mysterious recordings to the makers of video games to blast us with them too. Wait … what? WHAT?

“The new exploration gameplay, gives players the chance to experience the amazing ‘sounds of space’ for themselves. The players, who already have an interest in exploration and space, will hopefully enjoy the new space ‘sounds’ and be tempted to find out a little more about them.”

Dr. Nigel Meredith is an (evil?) scientist working for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) at the Halley Research Station on the Brunt Ice Shelf for four years (too long?) revealed that the sounds he and the team have been recording and trying to identify were packaged together and given to game developers Frontier Developments who this month released them onto the general public in a new exploration game called Elite Dangerous with the hope that the eerie sounds will somehow draw others to Antarctica to study them (is he lonely?).

“Our planet produces a wonderful variety of radio emissions. As we know, we can’t hear things in space. Since sound waves are vibrations, typically of air molecules. But the emissions we’re talking about are mainly electromagnetic waves and they cannot be heard directly.”

So, the mysterious space sounds picked up by the Halley VLF receiver at the station are beyond the range of normal human hearing and suspected to be the sounds of all manners of electromagnetic disturbances, from lightning strikes to geomagnetic space storms. Once isolated, Meredith gives them descriptive names such as “spherics” (these sound like hail hitting cement and are from lightning activity), “whistlers” (high-pitched sounds like radio feedback caused by lightning energy trying to escape Earth’s atmosphere) and the “chorus” (caused by solar storms, these sound like birds and insects in a rainforest. In addition to being in the Elite Dangerous game, the sounds can be heard on the British Antarctic Survey’s website (here’s the link … if you want to risk being pulled to spend time in Antarctica with Dr. Nigel some day).

“It’s mind-blowing that you get such fascinating (and baffling) audio from listening to nature throwing a ton of solar wind at a magnetic ball.”

Joe Hogan, lead audio designer for Elite Dangerous, explained in an interview with Gizmodo why he was attracted to Dr. Nigel’s mysterious sounds for the game. The money he’s making at Frontier Developments has probably kept him from being pulled to Antarctica … for now. Maybe he can do us all a favor and give Dr. Nigel a job at the company – Cambridge UK is a little warmer than Antarctica and Frontiers Development has plenty of people to keep the scientist from being lonely.

Otherwise, he’s going to continue to sit next to the Halley VLF receiver, recording mysterious space sounds and messing with our minds and our hearing. I SAID, HE’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO SIT NEXT TO THE HALLEY VLF RECEIVER, RECORDING MYSTERIOUS SPACE SOUNDS AND MESSING WITH OUR MINDS AND OUR HEARING.

Too late?

The discovery of seven virgins is big news, although it would be bigger if the virgins were men instead of women. In this case they’re women but their discovery after a massive flooding is huge in both archeological and Hindu religious contexts because they may be terracotta religious statues of a long-lost civilization that once lived along the Pamba River in southern India. Why were these Seven Virgins significant enough to honor with statues? It may not be what you think.

The Hindu reports that the terracotta statues of “male and female figurines, snakeheads, bust of a man and a twin female terracotta figurine” were found in late September in Edayaranmula, a town in the south western state of Kerala, when the banks of the Pamba (also referred to as the Pampa) river collapsed after a recent heavy deluge and destructive flash flooding. Fishermen in the area found the artifacts amongst uprooted trees and did the right thing by contacting the local Kerala Department of Archeology.

Pamba River (Wikipedia)

“Mostly, the idols had seven faces. A group of seven women sitting close together was a prominent kind of figurine. We also found male figurines and Naga (serpent) figurines. The idols look like they belonged to a place of worship — like a sacred grove for the naga gods (pambin kavu). The concept of Sapta Kanya (seven virgins) or Sapta Matrika (a group of mother goddesses) is a common theme in the idols. Votive sculptures or shilpams used for idol sacrifice was also excavated from the region.”

Krishnaraj K, a professor in the Department of Archaeology, told The News Minute that a few terracotta figures had been found in this region before so he knew immediately this was not a hoax. Teams descended upon the area and began careful excavations which unearthed the exposed statues and found many more. (Photos here.)

“We are going to send them for Thermoluminescence dating, a process used to determine the exact age of the figurines by identifying the time elapsed since the material was exposed to sunlight or heat. We will be sending the samples to Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology in Dehradun.”

It is hoped that the artifacts will shed light on the long-lost Pamba River Civilization, a Bronze Age (3300 to 1200 BCE) culture significant to the beginnings of the Hindu religion but whose early history is a mystery. In the old Hindu Epics, Pampa was Lord Brahma’s daughter and later married Lord Shiva. Lord Ayyappan (Sri Dharmasastha), son of Lord Shiva, appeared as a child on the banks of the Pamba River and it is considered to be the southern equivalent of the Ganga, drawing devotees of Lord Ayyappan to bath in it and build temples on its banks. It’s suspected that the artifacts are from one of more such temples.

“Saying that is a bit much. A civilization stands as a huge era in history, consisting of many generations of people and their progress. Here we are talking about small tribes living close to the river. The idols found are mostly used for worship.”

Krishnaraj hesitates to say that these are terracotta missing links of the Pamba River Civilization, but they’re definitely religious artifacts used by a small group of its members. Archeologists know that when there’s a few there’s probably more so they will continue to excavate the area and research the statues.

And the Seven Virgins? The Sapta Kanya (seven virgins) or Sapta Matrika (seven mother goddesses) are still worshiped in southern India. More significant are the Naga figurines which represent a race of half-men and half-serpents (cobras) that are believed to be guardians of the water. All point to this being the likely site of an ancient temple of an ancient lost civilization.

Floods take away but they sometimes give back too.

A few days ago, I wrote an article here at Mysterious Universe on the matter of so-called alien-human “hybrid babies.” It should be noted, though, that it’s not always just hybrid babiesthat are shown to abductees and with whom they are encouraged to bond. It’s very often hybrid children, too. As bizarre as it may sound abductees report being taken to rooms that are in stark contrast to the sterile and clean, and almost obsessively so, environments aboard UFOs. In these particular cases, abductees enter a far from tidy environment in which hybrid children are given toys to play with – as if a concerted attempt is being made to humanize the hybrids even more. Whether this is done from a positive perspective of inter-species cooperation and inter-breeding, or if it’s done to ensure that the hybrids can more successfully infiltrate human society in a sinister, hostile fashion, very much remains to be seen, and is dependent on which side of the fence you stand. You may even be of the opinion that this is nothing less than the results of bad dreams and wild tales of a very dubious kind. But, try telling that to those who claim to have encountered the hybrid children. They are convinced that what they encountered were nothing less than something half-human and half-something-else.

Take, for example, the story of Jennifer, a life-long resident of New Jersey. Now in her mid-thirties, she has conscious recall of encounters with the Grays going back to her early childhood, as does her mother. Even her grandmother has vague recollections of encountering a group of “little men” in New Jersey woods, during the summer months, at some point in the 1940s – something which emphasizes the ongoing, multi-generational aspect of these events. As well as her consciously recalled interactions with the Grays, Jennifer has been able to pull further recollections out of the depths of her mind and subconscious via hypnosis. One recollection, in particular, stands out, in terms of relevancy.

Although Jennifer has no memories of interactions with hybrid babies, she does have memories of being taken, in 2009, to what she described as looking like “an old military base, but shut down,” where she encountered hybrid children. Jennifer’s hypnotically-recovered recollections begin with her stepping out of what she first thought was a large, black sedan. With hindsight, however, she came to believe that the “car” was actually a landed UFO – the image of the car, then, being a screen-memory designed to mask, or at least confuse, the true nature of the event. She then recalls being guided, in a somewhat groggy and hazy state, to an elevator by three dwarfish figures that she found it difficult to recall, in terms of their physical appearances. What she had no trouble remembering, however, was what happened next.

After what she perceived as an incredibly long descent in the elevator, Jennifer was taken to a large room which was filled with two things: (1) a group of five or six hybrid children, all but one female; and (2) a multitude of toys. Strewn across the floor were teddy-bears, dolls, and a large amount of fluffy, toy dogs. The hybrids, who were skinny, sickly-looking, yellow-haired, and seemingly completely disinterested in the toys, were sitting on chairs placed in a row against one of the walls. It was Jennifer’s “job” – as she worded it – to try and encourage the children to play with the toys, something she was only partially successful in doing. Two of them actually smiled and even laughed when Jennifer gently tossed teddy-bears in their direction. The others offered little more than disinterest.

Time and again, Jennifer was urged to interact with the hybrids. And on each occasion, the response was far from being encouraging. Evidently, Jennifer’s abductors realized that things were not proceeding well and she was finally motioned to the door. Once again, her mind was filled with images of sitting in a black sedan, and being driven back to her home. Yet, as with her arrival at the facility, she had deep suspicions that the car imagery was, effectively, “implanted” in her mind and did not tell the true story of how she found herself deep underground. Jennifer’s encounter is of a type that many abductees – and, particularly so, female abductees – have reported.

BABA VANGA And Nostradamus PREDICTIONS FOR 2019 REVEALED! Dec 31, 2018, UFO Sighting News.

Grandmother Vanga, popularly known as Baba Vanga is a blind Bulgarian mystic who had allegedly predicted the rise of Islamic State (ISIS), the 9/11 World Trade Centre attack and Brexit. Now, several people have started claiming that Baba Vanga had envisioned a series of incidents that will take place in 2019. 

Baba Vanga believed that the year 2019 will be loaded with a series of natural disasters in all nooks of the globe. The mystic added that the lives of two top world leaders will be in trouble in the upcoming year, and she predicts that one of the members in Vladimir Putin's security team will try to assassinate the Russian president. 

It should be noted that Vladimir Putin himself had admitted that he is the hot target of assassins, and as a result, he had recruited a team of elite snipers for his protection. Baba Vanga also predicts that Donald Trump, the United States president will fall ill in 2019.

Amazing UFO filmed over Mojave Desert, California – December 2018

Strange bright orbs were filmed in the sky above Mojave Desert, California. Filmed in December 2018.

Witness report: 

Major sighting… clear video footage of light orbs in desert, disappear into thin air. They appeared suddenly, out of the blue after a group meditation at Crystal Hill at Giant Rock. This is the last few seconds caught just before they disappeared. It was stunning, and beautiful. Following a group meditation, as we walked down Quartz Crystal Hill at Giant Rock in the Mojave Desert, these light orbs suddenly appeared.

Triangle UFO flying over Birmingham, Alabama 28-Dec-2018

Check out this amazing footage of a triangular-shaped craft hovering above Birmingham, Alabama on 28th December 2018.

Witness report: 

Saw a light that was hovering in a spot I have never seen before and when I went close to it was when it started moving in a path. It was shaped like a triangle. 

I was sitting at a stop light on my way home, waiting for the light to turn green when instead I saw a different light in the distance that was just in one spot. This light had never been in that area before, the light was a bright white color. I did not know what to think at first but I finally turned at the light and it was still in the same spot hovering so I drove up to it, well I got really close to it. It still had not moved until I think it may have noticed me sitting there trying to figure out what it was. It started moving towards my direction but in a straight line/path. This object was shaped like a triangle with three white lights and one red light somewhere near the middle. I first thought it was an airplane but as it got closer I realized it was not an airplane but I could not describe what it was. It was smaller than an airplane big bigger than a drone. Airplanes make noise and this did not, it was so strange. I was in shock because I knew it was something I had never seen before, I was not scared but more so interested because I could not figure out what it was, but I had an idea. This object when on its path and completely disappeared. A garbage truck I noticed pulled over when it was just leaving, they had pulled over to look at this as well but I do not think they saw it until the very last second. 

from deleted duplicate case 97316/CMS/dr: 
saw bright light over parking lot as I was traveling south on highway 280. Pulled into parking lot and object started to move and I took a video. Changed from one bright light to lights showing up under the object in a triangular shape. No sound and object suddenly disappeared. In still picture object is to the left of the bright light (street light) and show up as a triangle pattern of lights. Garbage truck also stopped to view. It was clear with some fog starting to form in some areas.

La caméra à bord de la station spatial a enregistré un OVNI en plein vol

Was Project Blue 'DEW' Beam Just Used on Kenner, Louisiana, and Astoria, New York?

On Thursday December 27th in mid-evening, New Yorkers reported a strange blue light over Queens and power outages after a transformer explosion at a Con Edison power plant.

Blue lights were seen around the city and in New Jersey, according to WPIX. NYPD Chief Nilda Hofmann said police were investigating a transformer explosion at Astoria East and North Queens Con Ed power plant.

Multiple fires are taking place because a “couple of transformers tripped offline” at the intersection of 20th Avenue and 32nd Street, a Con Edison spokesperson said.

Meanwhile, the previous night in a quiet little Louisiana city was getting ‘zapped’ by their own Laser Beams and lost several transformers. The raw video of that incident looks like something right out of the Transformers movies.

Then five hours after New York City had their own ‘Project Blue Beam’ the Emergency ’911′ system run by CenturyLink based out of Monroe, Louisiana, crashed in the Northwest United States, taking out several ’911′ systems in various cities.

Something very strange and evil is happening in the good old United States of America.

Look What Happened Before the Strange Blue Lights of NYC!

If you’re sitting there and you’re still allowing your critical thinking to sit on a shelf while you continue to believe everything government controlled media tells you, there’s plenty of video evidence to prove that you do that to your own peril. The official story from media outlets and state funded authorities is that an electrical fault caused an “arc flash, at a Con Edison substation at 20th Avenue and 32nd Street in Astoria.

This may or may not be true. There is video from a private individual around this area. But what Mainstream news isn’t telling you is that something very similar happened 18 hours before about a thousand miles away in Kenner Louisiana Check this out…(clip)

And the only other thing these two places have in common other than transformers turning the night sky bright blue is that both areas were enveloped by this same storm that ran a consecutive 1200 mile strip from the gulf of mexico to the northern tip of maine.

And I don’t know about Kenner but in the Boston area, according to eyewitnesses who filmed it including Richie from Boston, there was an abnormal amount of all-day chemical spraying hours before the new york light show.

The moral of this is that to believe the official story from government or mainstream media sources is to believe proven liars. Am I claiming to know what this is? No…but well all know, who have done our research, that the government is very much for running covert test operations on the American people on American soil. Tests which end up leading to the harm of many. And to believe government or mainstream sources is to believe proven liars.

It’s time to take your critical thinking off the shelf, open your eyes, start asking questions and live your life as a free-thinking member of the human race.

Links are in the description. Leave your thoughts about this for the world and the google thought police in the comments section below.

Op weg naar Ultima Thule: een ontdekkingsreis 6 miljard kilometer ver weg - HLN.be

Bron: AD

Ultima Thule is een asteroïde die pas in 2014 is ontdekt. Hij is ongeveer dertig kilometer in doorsnee. De rots staat op zo’n 6,6 miljard kilometer afstand van de aarde in de zogeheten Kuipergordel. Dat is een zone vol ruimterotsen voorbij de planeet Neptunus. De gordel is vernoemd naar de Nederlandse sterrenkundige Gerard Kuiper. Nog nooit is een object op zo’n grote afstand van dichtbij onderzocht.

New Horizons scheert volgende week langs afgelegen hemellichaam en dat kan ons meer leren over ontstaan zonnestelsel

Dinsdagochtend om 6.33 uur Belgische tijd staat de New Horizons het dichtst bij Ultima Thule. De afstand tot de asteroïde is dan ongeveer 3.500 kilometer. Maar de bevestiging dat alles goed is verlopen, komt pas zes uur later op aarde aan. 

De New Horizons moet onder meer uitzoeken waar het rotsblok uit bestaat. Dat kan wetenschappers meer leren over onze eigen planeet, omdat de rots miljarden jaren geleden werd gevormd in de tijd dat ons zonnestelsel ontstond.

Piano

De eerste plannen voor de missie ontstonden rond 1990. In januari 2006 volgde de lancering van de New Horizons, een apparaat dat zo groot is als een piano. Toen hij in juli 2015 langs Pluto vloog, ontdekte de New Horizons onder meer scheuren in het oppervlak van de planeet. Mogelijk worden die veroorzaakt door een ondergrondse oceaan. Ook zag hij bergen tot 6.200 meter hoog.

Pluto was het hoofddoel, Ultima Thule is een onverwacht extraatje. Na het bezoek aan Pluto was de New Horizons nog in zo’n goede staat, dat de vluchtleiding besloot de reis te verlengen met een extra bestemming. Met een snelheid van 1,2 miljoen kilometer per dag vloog de sonde naar Ultima Thule, ongeveer 1,5 miljard kilometer voorbij Pluto.

As van ontdekker

Voor de oude Grieken en Romeinen was Thule een mythisch eiland in het hoge noorden. Ultima Thule, wat ‘voorbij Thule’ betekent, geeft aan dat de sonde “voorbij de grenzen van de bekende wereld gaat”, aldus de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA.

Mogelijk komt er nog een tweede extraatje. Als de sonde het volhoudt, wil de vluchtleiding over een paar jaar weer langs een ruimterots scheren, nog verder weg. Die bestemming is nog niet geselecteerd. Rond 2047 bereikt de New Horizons de rand van ons zonnestelsel, maar dan werkt hij waarschijnlijk niet meer. 

Aan boord van de sonde is ook de as van de man die in 1930 Pluto heeft ontdekt, sterrenkundige Clyde Tombaugh (1906-1997).

Human rights? Always worth fighting for. Animal rights? We’re far too cruel to the creatures we share this planet with, but some limits are needed. Robot rights? The debate has just begun and it will be a long and confusing one, as evidenced by a new discussion led by a machine ethics researcher who believes that reverse cyborgs – robots that are given human parts such as brains – deserve at least partial human rights as well. How many human parts does it take for a robot to become a person? Which parts? What about the vice versa? Will the brave new world be a litigious one as well?

These questions are prompted by, as many discussions about future technology often are, sex. Specifically, the sex robots or sexbots that in 2018 became the center of attention in Vancouver, Canada and Houston, Texas, where an organization called KinkySdolls wanted to open (and was already taking appointments for) sex robot brothels like the one it operates in Toronto. These “dolls” – both female and male — allegedly provide a realistic sexual experience and are said to contain the artificial intelligence needed to respond to cues and recognize both their client’s needs and what would be considered abusive behavior of the dolls were human. How could these sexbots be made even more realistic? Why not add real human parts – possibly grown in a lab or even right on the cyborg itself?

In an interesting discussion in, of all places, the Daily Star, Dr. Oliver Bendel, professor of information systems at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts and a consultant to the German Bundestag, says sex robots able to read “every wish from our eyes” will be among the most advanced androids within the next 20 years, but should only be considered as “electronic persons” with “moral rights” if they have can feel or suffer, if you have a consciousness or a will to live.” And then he describes the way that will happen.

“One could at best develop ‘reverse cyborgs’, i.e. let brain and nerve cells grow on technical structures or in a robot. Such reverse or inverted cyborgs might at some point feel something.”

And then? Computing philosopher and scientist at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Dr. Jordi Vallverdú, joins the discussion.

“Under the current cultural western evolution, which has recognized rights to all kinds of men and women, it is feasible and normal to affirm that the robot’s rights will be someday into the agenda.”

“Feasible and normal.” Do you consider giving human rights to a robot feasible and normal? If you don’t, it may be too late to stop it. In early 2017, the European Parliament issued a reportwhich suggested that self-learning robots could be granted “electronic personalities” status, which would in a sense make them “legal persons” in a manner similar to corporations. Many see this move not so much as a way to give protective human rights to robots but to relieve manufacturers from legal responsibility should the AI robot commit crimes or kill someone. However, “legal persons” have the right to make campaign contributions and could conceivably “buy” politicians who would give them the rights they want. Buying politicians – how much more human can they be?

What am I?

Human are getting more robotic parts. At what point will these cyborgs lose their humanity? Robots can grow human cells that develop into human parts. At what point will these reverse cyborgs lose their robotity? Is the crossover line the same? Who should decide? Scientists? Politicians? Religious leaders? Philosophers? The cyborgs themselves?

Is everything now feasible and normal? Is anything? Are we?

Growth of the newly discovered Streptomyces sp. myrophorea

CREDIT: G QUINN, SWANSEA UNIVERSITY

The unusual practice of eating dirt, mud, clay and other soils is known as geophagy, which is considered by the medical community to be an abnormal, albeit fairly harmless and non-beneficial, compulsive behavior, while the folk medicine community touts benefits such as toxin-absorption and promoting gut health. Then there’s the soil found in the townland of Toneel North in Boho, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, which is said to heal toothaches, throat infections, neck problems and other ailments. That list of “other ailments” has just been expanded to include “four of the top six superbugs that are resistant to antibiotics” Is Boho dirt the next medical marijuana or just another fake ‘miracle cure’ product peddled by snake soil salesmen?

“In an effort to stem the rising tide of multi-resistant bacteria, researchers have turned to niche environments in the hope of discovering new varieties of antibiotics. We investigated an ethnopharmacological (cure) from an alkaline/radon soil in the area of Boho, in the Fermanagh Scarplands (N. Ireland) for the presence of Streptomyces, a well-known producer of antibiotics.”

Researchers from the UK’s Swansea University Medical School and the Ulster University School of Biomedical Sciences and Croatia’s Laboratory for Molecular Genetics at Ruđer Bošković Institute were searching for unusual “niche” ways to combat the rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria like the “hospital superbug” MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and decided to look at the ancient soil found in Boho after hearing what seemed to be legitimate accounts of it’s healing powers. “Boho” comes from an ancient Irish word meaning hut or booth which befits its ancient history dating back to the Neolithic late Stone Age/early Bronze Age 4000 years ago. It was later home to the Druids and has a long spiritual history of both conventional religions and unconventional beliefs in faeries, faerie bushes, banshees and ancient monoliths like the Reyfad stones.

Those ancient tales might cause one to think the Boho soil stories are folklore as well, but the study, published in Frontiers in Microbiology, proved otherwise. The researchers found that it contains a previously unknown strain of Streptomyces, a bacteria that has already shown themselves to be effective against some of the superbugs. This new strain, named Streptomyces sp. Myrophorea, was proven effective in inhibiting growth of four of the top six multi-resistant pathogens (Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Klebsiella pneumonia, and Carbenepenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii), a list that includes the notorious MRSA.

“We will now coentrate on the purification and identification of these antibiotics. We have also discovered additional antibacterial organisms from the same soil cure which may cover a broader spectrum of multi-resistant pathogens.”

While the power of the Boho soil has been proven, the actual component of Streptomyces sp. Myrophorea which gives it this super-antimicrobial strength has not, so Dr. Gerry Quinn and the rest of the researchers are now working to identify, isolate and possibly replicate it as well as work on determining what else this magic mulch can treat or cure.

Does this mean it’s time to book a trip to Boho to eat dirt and wash it down with Irish stout? A better idea would be to definitely visit to enjoy the beauty and ancient history of the area while scientists figure out a more palatable way to partake of the protective soil. In the meantime, start working on a proper Irish toast for the occasion. Here’s one:

May your heart be light and happy,
May your smile be big and wide,
And may your pockets always have
Some Boho dirt inside!

Watch a fox’s reaction as a bright orb approaches captured by wildlife cam

A wildlife camera in the Catskill mountains, Shandaken, New York captures a bright orb at high speed.

The footage captured on December 13, 2018 shows a wild fox when suddenly a bright orb comes out out of nowhere.

The orb phenomenon is surrounded with mystery and is not yet understood.

Maybe it is an alien probe, built by extraterrestrial intelligence, but some people believe seeing orbs of light is visible evidence of spirits connected to a higher source.

Whether an alien probe or a spiritual entity it seems that those that appear to have their own light source and patterns of travel like the orb in the footage below.

Watch the fox's reaction as the orb approaches.

Four Glowing UFOs Seen During Day Over Majave Desert, California, Dec 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: December 2018

Location of sighting: Giant Rock, Mojave desert, California, USA

 

The eyewitness said the group was meditating and then the UFOs appeared. Meditation does work, but only if its done with 100% relaxed mental state. Its hard to achieve for me, but has worked. 

 

I have seen a similar sighting long ago here in Taiwan. Seen from the mountain my son goes to school on. Its called Yuming Mountain in Taipei, Taiwan. Back in 2004 a similar sighting occurred, glowing UFOs were seen in a similar formation, but for a longer amount of time. Watch the videos and compare. They are the same craft in both videos. 

 

It is my belief that these UFOs appeared from above at high speed and stopped in their position. Waiting...for the underground base to bring them in. Which happens so fast, that the UFOs seem to shrink and vanish. But in reality, they were transported underground to the alien base 4-6km below. So, we now know there is an alien base below Giant Rock.

UFO Hovers Over Homes In San Diego, California Dec 27, 2018, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Dec 27, 2018

Location of sighting: San Diego, California, USA

 

This UFO photo was sent in by a Twitter follower in San Diego today. They noticed a UFO shaped cloud floating overhead unusually low compared to other clouds. 

 

The fact that this cloud was so low was clearly suspicious, however its shape totally gives away the true shape of the UFO. Its a huge disk as you can see from the lines at the bottom of the craft. 

 

UFOs often create cloud cover around them when they want to fly unusually low to scan the residence below. This way they do not frighten anyone and people who see the cloud only shrug their shoulders and ignore it. However occasionally a person can sense being watched and will notice the cloaked UFO and take its photo to share with others.

We hear about mysterious trumpet blasts, mysterious hums and other mysterious sounds all of the time. Perhaps you’ve heard them yourself. What we rarely hear is what the causes of any them are. Leave it to an intrepid New Jersey police chief who had heard enough from angry citizens in his jurisdiction to do some real investigative work and find the cause of the recent mysterious Jersey sounds. Is it a pilot for “Law & Order: Noise Victims Unit”?

 “It was like a sickening pulsing heartbeat. We turned up our television, but could not overpower the throb. The thumping came straight through our front porch to the back of our home in the kitchen. It went on until the wee hours of the morning until around 3 a.m.”

Monica Morris Lind, who lives on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River, told nj.com back in October about the strange sound keeping her and her neighbors up at night. At the time, Penns Grove, NJ, Police Chief John T. Stranahan Sr. was one of many police chiefs in New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania who were getting reports of the loud and annoying sounds who sent officers on patrol and were unable to find the source. While they suspected a massive moving stereo system, possibly on a river barge, the sound would stop by the time they got to the possible origin point. Residents began questioning the police commitment and even suggested paranormal causes, but Chief Stranahan is a Jersey cop and Jersey cops don’t take “It’s aliens” for an answer.

“On December 24, 2018, the Salem County Call Board received over 100 call concerning the phantom music. Calls were transferred to multiple agencies within the State of Delaware, as it was believed to be the origin of the music. Unfortunately, it appeared as though no action was taken by the respective agencies. For this reason, Chief John Stranahan took it upon himself to investigate.”

The Penns Grove police department Facebook page reported that Chief Stranahan had had enough – no one – human, alien or otherwise – was going to disrupt his precinct’s Christmas Eve. He jumped into his sleigh car and followed the sound over the river and through the woods to … Delaw.are! Stranahan entered the City of Wilmington and traveled down Seventh Street to a skatepark at the confluence of the Christiana River and Brandywine Creek where he found … aliens.

OK, they were alien to him because he’s from New Jersey. What he closely encountered was a big van with a massive set of speakers pointing across the Delaware River at his town. The four beings (apparently humans) near the van panicked when the saw the police car and took off in the van … but not before Chief Stranahan quickly took pictures and managed to get two numbers off of the license plate, which he dutifully turned over to the Wilmington Police Department. As loyal viewers of cop shows know, that’s more than enough evidence to find the perps, which Wilmington Police … didn’t.

That’s right. As of this writing, the boom-boomers are still on the loose. However, the long arm (and ear) of the law is closing in. they can run but they can’t hide … especially when they’re addicted to bass.

In the world of UFOs and the paranormal there are very often reports from witnesses that seem to traverse the line between the strange and the utterly bizarre, lodging themselves firmly into the domain of the downright absurd. Such accounts can be so completely surreal that they are hard to really fit into any clear category, and exist on a plane unto themselves. I have written much of such accounts in the past, and indeed quite recently here at Mysterious Universe, and here I delve once again into accounts of encounters with all manner of absurdly strange beings, that seem to elude and defy any easy classification.

The earliest of these completely bonkers accounts we will look at supposedly occurred back in the summer of 1955, in the normally quiet Casa Blanca neighborhood of Riverside County, California. On this day, a young boy named Kermit Douglas was playing with some other children on the lawn of his home when they noticed a large, glowing semi-transparent dome-like structure floating through the air over their heads before vanishing, only to reappear shortly after that with a musical chiming sound. This time the object was surrounded by myriad small orb-like things of different colors orbiting it, and all of them seemed to vanish and reappear in different places as if they were teleporting, each time emanating a distinctive “ping” sound.

At first it seemed to be a wondrous and almost playful display, as if these orbs of light were sentient and just playing around for their amusement, but things would quickly graduate to alarming, when a truly massive of of the orbs “about as large as three houses put together” came down into a nearby football field to land and a series of completely absurd events would begin to play out. As the children gazed in wonder at this sight a very outlandish being suddenly appeared near the Douglas home, hovering and translucent just as the mysterious spheres were. The creature was described as being around 4 feet in height, with “a big red mouth, big red eyes, and four round objects on his face which sparkled like diamonds where his nose should be.” Instead of legs it had merely a rounded, tapering bottom, and its belt cast a blinding glare that caused the children to become steadily more panicked, shouting and screaming, yet adults who came to investigate what was going on would later claim that they could not see any of the strange lights or the being that the children described.

In the meantime things went weird at an alarming rate, starting when one of the youngest of the group of kids purportedly became somewhat entranced and hypnotized by the pulsating, multicolored sphere that had come to rest in the football field, and started mindlessly shambling towards it like a zombie, to the point that he had to be restrained by two of the other boys. Things only got steadily trippier from there, as there were also other spheres starting to descend now to hover over or land on the ground or even trees and the roofs of houses, and at one point a metallic arm was seen to materialize out of thin air to beckon one of the children, just the arm, unattached to any body, floating there in the void. Still another one of the boys said he also saw a small man marching about clad all in silver and clenching in his hands two “ray guns.”

As all of this assorted and surreal weirdness was going down, the largest of the orbs, that one in the center of the football field, suddenly opened to disgorge another of those diamond-faced, red-eyed entities, this one with four legs, and two arms that each branched off at the forearms into separate appendages each with its own hand, for a total of four hands. This eight-limbed abomination then put two of the boys into a trance-like state and telepathically commanded them to climb a tree, which they did. Some 15 minutes later, the two tree-bound boys were approached by a “Saturn shaped” UFO and its crew of tiny beings, which tried to get the two entranced boys aboard the vessel but were thwarted by some of the other boys shooting a, I am not making this up, a garden hose at it. The water snapped one of the boys out of his daze, and the other simply remained in his trance and jumped off the roof. Both boys were uninjured, and would later claim to have no memory of what had happened while they were in their stupor.

Soon after the garden hose incident, the UFOs in all of their shapes and sizes suddenly just left, shooting up straight into the sky to vanish, leaving behind a group of very frightened and intensely confused children. Subsequent interviews with these witnesses have shown that they at least seem to truly believe that this is all true, but what exactly they saw remains unknown. Indeed, it is such a chaotic, varied, and incredibly, almost ridiculously odd and harrowing sequence events that it is hard to even know what to think of it or whether this really had anything to do with “aliens” at all. What were these creatures, where did they come from, and why did only the kids see them? Why is the case so insanely bizarre, almost dream-like? There is no way to know.

In the 1960s we have several very deeply strange encounters, some of them quite sinister even. A common phenomenon related to UFOs and alien encounters is the mutilation of cattle or other livestock, which are found minus organs or all of their blood, and often displaying strange punctures or precise surgical cuts. Often the actual perpetrators of these mutilations are not seen, but for our first bizarre account we have a case in which the entity responsible was actually encountered, and which has become one of the weirdest alien sightings there is.

In April of 1967, a young woman named Valentina Flores was out tending her flock of sheep and llamas out in a rugged mountainous region of Opoco province, Bolivia, near a small town called Potosi. On this day Valentina was out tending her modest shack out int the wilds, along with her husband Gumersindo and their baby daughter, Theodosia. The day started out like any other, but she noticed at some point that the llamas had wandered off. It was not really all that uncommon, as the creatures had a deep case of wanderlust, so she went about gathering all of her sheep into one place and going off to find the llamas, which she was fairly sure were not far and would be retrieved quickly.

Valentina headed out over the rough terrain, her baby strapped to her back with a traditional carrying blanket, not unusual for the people of the region, and she found the animals in a clearing not far away, as expected. What she did not expect was that when she returned to where she had started that all of her sheep would be nowhere to be seen, leaving a trail of tracks off into the wilderness. After undoubtedly letting out a frustrated sigh, Valentina dutifully followed the trail left by the animals through the mountains, eventually coming to a sort of stone corral used as a temporary holding area for sheep, and this was where things would begin to take a turn for the deeply odd.

The Bolivian mountains

The woman noticed that something was attached to the corral, which upon closer inspection seemed to be a meshed, sticky substance not unlike a giant spider web, which all seemed to splay forth from an inscrutable pole-like structure in the middle. This was all rather unsettling enough, but Valentina would be struck with terror when she looked past the weblike substance to see the ground below littered with the bodies of her sheep, which appeared to have been cut open and disemboweled. Before she even really had time to process this macabre sight, she noticed that she was not alone, and there standing not far away was a small, child-sized being who was wearing some kind of one-piece suit with red straps in an X-pattern across the chest, brown boots, a helmet with “a propellor” on it, and a backpack with knobs and dials. It was very pale, with a face that was described as having an ample red mustache, blonde hair atop the head, and bright blue eyes.

It seemed to be hunched over one of the sheep, in the process of inserting a siphon-like device with a hooked end into the still struggling and terrified animal. Beside the entity was a satchel of some sort that was covered with blood and seemed to be filled with organs and parts from the dead animals, which all angered Valentina enough to snap her out of her daze of fear. She began to shout at the being and throw rocks at it, and the odd little entity retreated to what was described as some box-like device like “a radio,” which had a crank on the side that the little creature began to furiously wind to reel in the webs that covered the corral. It then became apparent that there was another of the creatures standing nearby, and this one ran up a hill to sit within a chair-like device that let out a humming sound and hovered off. Valentina was left alone with the original creature that she had seen butchering her sheep, and she lurched towards it with a wooden club she always carried with her. The little man at this point was said to be the one who was terrified now, and Valentina would say of what happened next:

He spoke to me, but I did not understand it. It was not Quechua or Spanish. He was as upset as I was. Oh my God! My animals! He had killed them one by one. I became crazy. I hit him with all my strength. I hit him in the face and he started to bleed. The guy was still screaming but I did not understand it.

Unfortunately for Valentina, the being was not completely helpless, and he produced a strange tool similar to a curved, razor sharp boomerang to lash out at her, cutting her chest and arms. It must have been quite a sight to see, this shepherd woman with a club and a baby strapped to her back, locked in an apparent fight to the death with this alien sheep-killer and his otherworldly weapon, and after a few moments of combat the injured entity retreated with his device containing the webs and his bag of sheep entrails. Valentina chased the little man, but he soon sat atop another of those chair-like contraptions and shot off into the sky much as his companion had done, leaving the woman standing there with her unharmed baby, exhausted and bleeding.

According to the rather spectacular account, Bolivian military would later examine the scene to find 63 dead sheep missing various organs and swaths of fat, as well as every drop of blood. Other ranchers in the area would also tell of finding mutilated sheep carcasses devoid of blood, and of having seen miniature beings lurking about the animal pens at night. The account would come to public attention with an interview conducted with the witness in 2001 by Spanish UFO researcher J. J. Benítez, and what made it all the more interesting was that Valentina had never even heard of UFOs or aliens before and did not seem particularly interested in that line of questioning.

Also from the 1960s we have a curious account from the U.S. state of Oregon. In 1965, an unidentified witness says he was staying at his parents’ house near Madras, Oregon, when one evening his attention was drawn by loud noises coming from right outside the house. When he looked outside, the witness says that he saw strange lights outside and a “UFO coming down,” but what was even stranger than that was a very large, hulking form that suddenly appeared from the night to stand looking in the doorway of the house, of which he would say, “I saw an alien creature standing outside the front door looking at me. It had the face of an ape, and chain across the chest area.”

The massive creature then lumbered off and the lights disappeared, allegedly leaving a mark upon the ground where the UFO had landed but no other physical evidence at all such as tracks. Considering the strange chains and the proximity to the UFO sighting, it seems that this creature must have surely had some connection, but it is strange that except for the chain this thing’s appearance makes it seem like it could have been a Bigfoot. Interestingly, Bigfoot and UFOs are often sighted together, oddly enough, making an already weird phenomenon even weirder.

The 1960s seem to have been a rather odd time for extraterrestrial encounters, because our next case is every bit as bizarre and occurred in 1968 in the province of Tarragona in Spain, and concerns a humble farmer by the name of John Mateu. According to a report contained within the Barcelona Tele-Express, in the summer of that year, Mateu was out doing his usual farm work like any other day, when he caught sight of what appeared to be something glinting in the morning light some distance down the dirt road that went past the property. His first impression was that it was someone who might be lost or even worse broken down, and so he walked off down the dusty road with his dog in tow to see what was going on. It would soon become quite clear that this was no car, nor any sort of vehicle he recognized.

As he approached, Mateu could see that rather than a car the source of the glinting light was actually some sort of oval, metallic object that was glowing and hovering several feet off of the ground. As the dumbfounded farmer stared on in amazement, he noticed three small creatures that looked vaguely octopoid, moving along swiftly on tentacles towards the craft. When they reached it, the weird entities were described as piling into the spheroid object and shooting off into the sky and leaving Mateu there to faint and lose consciousness. Indeed, he’d go on to remain missing for a full day as friends and family searched for him, after which he wandered home, unable to account for his missing time. Mateu and his brother would go on to find several patches of scorched earth where it was surmised that the alien craft had landed, and oddly enough their watches were also reported as stopping when they entered the vicinity. Interestingly, Spain was subjected to a spate of sightings and encounters of strange, octopoid creatures all over the country, although what connection any of them have to this case or each other remains unclear.

Moving on to the 1970s we have the extraordinarily odd account of 9 year-old José Cantu, of the town of Harrah, in Washington state. On January 19, 1977, Cantu was up early in the morning making himself breakfast when he looked outside to see a strange, diminutive “little men” out in the yard. He tried to wake his mother, but she told him to leave her alone and that he was imagining things, so he went out to take a look for himself, soon coming face to face with a pair of 3-foot-tall beings with greenish skin and no legs, instead sitting atop rotating bases with various tubes and small wheel-like protuberances attached to them. The heads of the things were monstrous, with pig-like snouts, odd mushroom-shaped caps, and only a single eye placed within the center of their heads, as well as tiny, useless looking forearms jutting out from the middle.

Cantu immediately hid behind a shed, and it was here where he would notice two brightly lit metallic crafts parked nearby which had ramps leading to the ground and seemed to be piloted by more of the same cyclops beings. The two beings he had seen earlier then boarded these “spaceships” via the ramps, after which the crafts hovered into the air and vanished into puffs of smoke. The boy ran back inside, woke his sleeping mother, and told her all about what he had seen, but she would not believe him and sent him on his way to school. There he would tell anyone who would listen about what he had seen, and two classroom aides ended up being so enthralled by his sincerity that they went home with him after school to take a look at the scene themselves.

In the yard, the aides would find circular indentations within the earth, apparently caused by the bases that the two aliens had sat upon, and neighbors would say that they had also found enormous depressions in the ground where Cantu said the craft had been resting. An examination of these depressions showed that they had strange patterns of swirled grass within them, and this was all big enough news that the following day a a police officer for the Indian Reserve of Yakima by the name of Willard J. Vogel came to investigate, seeing the evidence and interviewing the boy, and he became convinced that the boy at least truly believed that he was telling the truth. What did he see, aliens, UFOs, or some kind of inter-dimensional interlopers? Who knows?

Here we hve looked at a selection of some of the oddest encounters with beings beyond our comprehension. Although it is easy to simply write these off as delusions or overactive imaginations, it is also intriguing to think about whether there is any chance at all that any of it was true, and if so, what these entities could have possibly been. If they are real, then what are the origins of such things? Are these creatures from another star that have travelled here upon nuts and bolts spacecraft? Or are they perhaps thigs from beyond our reality, interdimensional travellers not traversing space, but rather the space between spaces, punching through some curtain between dimensions? Whatever the answer may be, one thing is for sure, and that these accounts are pretty much as truly, spectacularly weird as they get.

If the September 1961 alien abduction incident reported by Barney and Betty Hill had been a one-off, singular event, then there might be at least some justification in suggesting that the whole event was born out of some strange, shared psychological event. The important thing to note, though, was that it was not a singular event. Quite the contrary, in fact. It was just the start of what eventually became a veritable deluge of reports that continues to this very day. Take, for example, the strange and thought-provoking case of a man named Herbert Schirmer. It was in the early hours of December 3, 1967, when Schirmer – who was, at the time, a policeman in Ashland, Nebraska – was driving around town, checking that all was normal. It turns out, however, that things were not normal; they were far from being normal. As he scoured the deserted, quiet streets, Schirmer was suddenly confronted by what, at first glance, he thought was a broken-down truck at the edge of one particular road. When his headlights hit the object with full force, however, it became instantly clear to Schirmer that this was no truck. It was much stranger, maybe even a vehicle from another world.

What Schirmer was confronted by was a fairly compact, egg-shaped craft, floating around eight to ten feet above the surface of the road. An amazed Schirmer could only stare  as the UFO – there really was no other way for Schirmer to describe it – rose further into the sky. Flashing, red lights could be seen and a wailing, banshee-like sound filled Schirmer’s ears. The UFO then exited the area by taking a course directly above Schirmer’s vehicle. He sat there, astounded, for a few moments and then quickly headed back to the police station. He even recorded the details of the affair in the logbook: “Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!”

Just like Betty and Barney Hill back in 1961, Schirmer – six years later – very soon came to realize that certain portions of that extremely weird night were gone from his mind and his memory – specifically, an hour or so of time. Also paralleling the experience of the Hills, Schirmer elected to undergo hypnosis to try and figure out what on earth (or off of it) had happened to him on that dark night. The hypnotic sessions were carried out by a Boulder, Colorado-based Dr. Leo Sprinkle. While under hypnosis, Schirmer provided an incredible account of what happened during that absent period of time.

Hypnosis revealed that as he sat in his police car, and as he stared in awe at the hovering craft directly before him, Schirmer was confronted by three humanoid beings. All of them were wearing tight-fitting, one-piece outfits. They exited the craft and walked towards Schirmer. All were around four-and-a-half to five-feet in height. Approaching the driver’s side window, one – that Schirmer perceived to be the “leader” of the alien pack – leaned in, in a slightly menacing fashion, and asked: “Are you the watchman of this place?” Schirmer replied that, yes, he was. As the aliens stood around his squad-car, Schirmer couldn’t fail to notice that their uniforms displayed the image of a winged serpent. Schirmer was reportedly then taken aboard the craft, and given what we would call “a tour.”

In somewhat puzzling and enigmatic words, the alien who seemed to be in charge said to Schirmer: “We want you to believe in us, but not too much.” After which, Schirmer was returned to his vehicle, with his mind wiped clean of the events – until, that is, definitively bad dreams finally forced him to undergo hypnosis, and the startling saga came tumbling out in spectacular fashion. It should be stressed that the Schirmer incident seemed to straddle two camps: that of the abductee and that of the contactee. For example, there was the issue of missing time, which certainly is a staple part of just about all alien abduction incidents on record. But, the entities that Schirmer saw were most definitely not the Greys of abduction lore. Their short statures aside, they were not too dissimilar to us. And, we can hardly say that Schirmer was kidnapped. He was, after all, invited on-board the UFO for that fairly quick tour. While the Schirmer case was not unique, it certainly remains a definitive part of alien abduction/alien contact lore.

From head transplantation to green UFO in Jupiter, top five weird science stories of 2018

We present you five weirdest science stories that surfaced in 2018

By : Nirmal Narayanan

NASA

Sometimes, science may turn stranger than fiction, and the year 2018 witnessed a handful of such incidents which may make people think whether these happenings are real or not.

International Business Times, India presents you five such science stories which are weirdest to the core, and pretty difficult for the conscience of a normal man to digest.

1. The bizarre story of the human head transplant

People have seen stories of human head transplant in Hollywood sci-fi flicks. However, Ren Xiaoping, a Chinese orthopedic surgeon is spending his complete productive time to materialize the world's first human head transplant. Xiaoping is allegedly working on these experiments with Italian scientist Sergio Canavero.

Even though the duo claimed to have conducted the first human head transplant in 2017, they failed to provide any evidence to substantiate their deed. In 2018, Canavero and Xiaoping conducted head transplanting experiments on rats. Interestingly, out of the 60 head transplanted rats, only 14 lived for at least 36 hours.

Even though with this high failure rate, Canavero and Xiaoping strongly believe that human head transplant will become a success in future, and this technology will be used widely by rich business tycoons to live forever.

2. The unending mysteries of Oumuaua

It was in 2017 that space experts initially discovered Oumuamua, the first ever interstellar visitor to reach our solar system. Initially, space scientists speculated that Oumuamua could be either a meteor or an asteroid. However, in 2018, a study report from Avi Loeb, a top Harvard researcher raised many questions about the origin of Oumuamua.

In the study report, Loeb suggested that Oumuamua could be an alien probe. As per Loeb, the space body gained an unexpected acceleration as it passed through the inner solar system, and he believes that no natural object could achieve this gain in momentum.

However, Don Lincoln, a senior scientist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory argued that the sudden change in acceleration could be the result of a natural process called outgassing.

3. Green UFO above the surface of Jupiter

On October 25, 2018, conspiracy theorists spotted a bizarre anomaly in one of the Jupiter images released by NASA. In the first glance, the image looked normal, but upon closer analysis, a green UFO can be seen hovering just above the surface of the planet.

The image released by NASA soon went viral, and many people started arguing that this photo is an authentic proof of alien existence. They also alleged that space agencies like NASA are well aware of extraterrestrial aliens living in the dark nooks of the universe.

However, after analyzing the image, some experts suggested that that the green UFO-like object spotted in the image could be the result of an imaging sensor anomaly.

4. Necrophilia among crows

Necrophilia can be described as the fascination of a person towards dead bodies. In some cases, people with this psychological disorder may often try to engage in sexual acts with deceased bodies. However, in 2018, a woman named Kalie Swift photographed the image of a living crow engaging in sexual acts with a dead one.

It is still unclear how the crow got sexually fascinated with the recently deceased. Some experts believe that it might be a confused response mingling aggression with sex.

5. The unusual story of Mad Mike

The concept of flat earth has gained popularity in recent days, and many eminent personalities including former English cricket captain Andrew Flintoff believes that the earth is a flat disc. However, to prove this, a man named Mike, popularly known as Mad Mike, propelled himself to 1875 feet using a rocket made with scrap materials.

After the self-tuned launch, Mike had a hard landing in the Mojave desert causing him minor injuries. Now, Mike is apparently planning to build a space vehicle called Rockon, which will help him to reach an altitude of 68 miles. He believes that the real shape of the earth will be unveiled in front of him at such a high altitude.

Puzzling Palpa Lines In Peru Made By The Paracas Culture Are Even Older Than The Nazca Lines

Ellen Lloyd - AncientPage.com - The enigmatic Palpa lines in Peru are not as famous as the Nazca lines, but these puzzling lines and geoglyphs that can only be properly viewed from the air are equally interesting.

Archaeological examinations reveal the Palpa lines are older than the Nazca lines and were most likely created by the Paracas culture, an Andean society that existed about 800 BCE and 100 BCE, in what today is the Ica Region of Peru.

The Palpa lines are located in between the towns of Sacramento, Pinchango, and Llipata. The purpose of the lines and geoglyphs is unknown. There are as many as 600 geoglyphs of giant size and they represent a series of human and animal zoomorphic figures, including the Familia Real (Royal Family), a group of eight figures on a hillside.

The purpose of the Palpa lines and geoglyphs is unknown and just like the Nazca lines, these ancient carvings are regarded as one of archaeology's greatest enigmas because of their quantity, nature, size and continuity. Scientists suggest the geoglyphs had ritual astronomical functions

These giant geoglyphs and lines must have been of great importance to our ancestors and they were undoubtedly not easy to create. Many consider the figures to be extraordinary example of the traditional and millenary magical-religious world of the ancient Pre-Hispanic societies which flourished in Peru.

The mysterious Candelabrum located about 130 miles from the Nazca Plain is one of the most enigmatic ancient giant ground drawings in the world

The Candelabra is 595 feet long and resembles a candlestick. It can be seen from as far as 12 miles out to sea. Who made it and why? This is a question no-one has been able to answer so far. Obviously, its creators believed it was important that the ground drawing must be clearly visible from the air.

It’s important to note that similar geoglyphs have been found In North America as well.  As we here at Ancient Pages wrote earlier, in the American Southwest and adjacent Mexico there are over 300 remarkable intaglios.

The most famous of those are the Blythe Intaglios, located west of the Colorado River about 15 miles north of Blythe, California.

Mastamho, the Creator of Earth and all Life.

Here we come across gigantic human and animal figures carved on the ground. Just like the Peru’s wonderful and intriguing Nazca lines, these figures can only be seen properly from the air, which is the reason they weren’t discovered by white man until the 20th century.

According to the stories told by modern-day Mohave and Quechan Indians the human figures represent Mastamho, the Creator of Earth and all Life, while the animal figures represent Hatakulya, one of two mountain lions who helped in the Creation.

The geoglyphs are giant in size, but this doesn’t prevent them from being undetected for year. Just recently, researchers found a new giant geoglyph of orca with mysterious symbols and a ‘trophy head’ in the Nazca Desert. The figures are difficult to discovered because they can only be seen properly from the air. We can only wonder how many more giant geoglyphs are still hiding just in front of our eyes.

New claims made about what really happened in notorious 1974 Welsh 'UFO crash landing' mystery

Many think alien bodies were removed from the site as part of an official cover-up

For decades, that truth has remained 'out there'

It's been called the Welsh 'Roswell' - a cold, dark January night in 1974 when the ground shook and bright lights appeared in the sky above the Berwyn Mountains.

An incident which has remained surrounded by mystery ever since, many explanations have been given for what went on in that part of North Wales that evening, from meteor shower and earthquake to downed plane or even lamp-wielding poachers on the hillside.

But, for many, the belief that a UFO crashed high above Bala Lake - its alien inhabitants quickly spirited away in a military cover-up - has proved hard to shake.

And, according to NorthWalesLive, that belief has resurfaced again following a fresh appeal for information earlier this year by a researcher looking to make a documentary about the phenomena for American TV.

North Yorkshire UFO investigator Russ Kellett, who has been researching the Berwyn Mountains enigma for 25 years, has received a further four extraordinary claims by people from in and around the affected villages of Llandderfel and Llandrillo who say they were either close to the incident or knew officials involved.

One woman, who said she lived very near by, told Kellett her dad worked for the Ministry of Defence and on that night she heard an enormous bang - the tremor from which measured 3.5 on the Richter scale - and that she and her brother were told to go back to bed.

Later in the evening she could hear people talking in the house about making calls and when she looked out of the window she saw something large being loaded onto the back of a truck, although she did not know what it was. She claimed there were a lot of soldiers in the area.

Years later, her dad told her a Russian ship in the Irish Sea had fired a missile "in the wrong direction" and hit something which came down and was taken away by the military.

Meanwhile, retired nurse Pat Evans who believed an aircraft had crashed drove to the site and saw a pulsating orange and red glow on the hillside and other lights.

In addition, one ex-military man recalled how he'd been working in a team at one end of the A5 and claimed something "catastrophic" had gone wrong with an underground base "that was not manned by people of this world."

Finally, Kellett's findings also included a pensioner with links to the RAF and NASA who stated the organisations had been developing a new weapon to bring down unidentified flying objects and it had been used successfully that night.

And there are those in other parts of Wales who also want to believe:

The X-Filer says he is keeping an open mind on the latest extraordinary claims in his continued attempts to try and piece together what happened that night.

"You have to be careful with any new claims that it may be what people have heard or read being repeated back to you," he said.

"Sometimes there are people who just like to be involved in an event such as this and want to say they were there.

"On the other hand, why would these people in their 50s, 60s and 80s contact me to give me these stories. The people who contacted me appeared to be genuine.

"I have been researching this for 25 years now and am still trying to get to the bottom of what happened that night."

An artist’s impression of `Oumuamua

(European Southern Observatory )

Last year, astronomers spotted an unusual interstellar object moving through the solar system at the breezy pace of 26 km per second.

Named ‘Oumuamua—from the Hawaiian for “scout”—various theories emerged as to what it could be. A comet was the first thought, but it lacked the trademark gaseous tail. Then it was posited to be an asteroid, but it began to accelerate at a pace that scientists were unable to explain.

This month, a pair of Harvard scientists published a paper suggesting that the object might be an abandoned alien spacecraft pushed forward by a “solar sail”—a device using energy from the sun to propel the vessel through space. In January 2019, it will travel beyond Saturn’s orbit on its way out of our solar system. In the interest of scientific rigour, Maclean’s has rounded up the hottest takes from Canada’s leading experts on what they believe ‘Oumuamua might be.

---

It is a small asteroid ejected (probably billions of years ago) from another planetary system, that has by chance flown close to our star and the Earth. Trillions of objects must be freely wandering interstellar space, and every now and then one falls through a stellar system (ours, in this case). This object’s flyby properties—its speed and direction—are exactly what was expected for such freely wandering objects.

—Brett Gladman, physics & astronomy professor, UBC

In my opinion, ‘Oumuamua is most probably an atypically shaped, slightly icy “planetesimal” that was ejected from another solar system long ago. A planetesimal is any space rock that is left over from the process of planet formation, such as asteroids or comets. Now, something needs to explain ‘Oumuamua’s excess acceleration, as is the focus of the Harvard paper. The solar sail theory is a fun piece of science, and there is nothing from what I can see that is incorrect in the calculations. Light carries momentum and does indeed provide pressure that can push a thin sheet. Can ‘Oumuamua’s acceleration be explained by radiation pressure? We now know it can. But is it likely an alien light sail? That is an extreme leap. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and the Harvard paper does not provide any evidence to prove that ‘Oumuamua is artificial in origin.

—Ben K. D. Pearce, physics & astronomy Ph.D. student, McMaster University

Science fiction has a long history of stories about malfunctioning spaceships or derelicts; if this is an alien vessel, it’s probably precisely that: a derelict, since in a functioning vessel, any solar sail—a fragile construct—would be retracted this far from a star. How tragic it would be if aliens had indeed decided to pay us a friendly visit only for them to have died en route. My own theory? Actually, science-fiction writers are a highly skeptical bunch; we’re the least likely to take an outlandish interpretation to heart. Almost certainly, ‘Oumuamua will turn out to be an entirely natural phenomenon. Still, anything that gets people thinking about our place in the universe is all to the good.

—Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning science-fiction novelist

The most reasonable explanation is that this object is a small body (like an asteroid) that was ejected from another planetary system, and that our solar system intersected with its path, causing the object to become visible from Earth. Astronomers and planetary scientists have long predicted such objects would exist and that we would detect them when our telescopes became capable enough. The proof will come when additional such bodies are discovered. When planetary systems form, many billions of bodies about the size of this one would be created. We already know that dust particles from other planetary systems impact the Earth; ‘Oumuamua is a very large example of such an event, but not a highly unlikely event.

—J.J. Kavelaars, head of the CanadianAstronomy Data Centre

Alien disclosure? Top 5 authentic UFO sightings reported in 2018

Here's a list of top 5 authentic UFO sightings which happened in 2018

By : Nirmal Narayanan

YouTube: Secureteam10

Conspiracy theorists all around the world strongly believe that UFO sightings are the concrete evidence of alien existence.

Last year, Pentagon admitted that they conducted a secret UFO investigation program named AATIP (Advanced Arial Threat Identification Program) to unveil the mysteries surrounding unidentified flying object sightings. Even though the project was scrapped around six years ago, several conspiracy theorists argue that the project is still on, and the United States secret forces are still on the hunt to unravel the real truth behind these unknown flying objects.

In 2018 too, several UFO sightings were reported from various parts of the globe. Upon closer analysis, many UFO videos released by conspiracy theorists seem fabricated, but there are a handful of reports which still remain unanswered by experts.

Here, we present the list of five UFO sightings happened in 2018, that continue to perplex conspiracy theorists and space experts alike.

1. The Ireland UFO incident

On November 9, a British Airways pilot contacted the Shannon air traffic control and reported seeing a UFO flying above the skies of Ireland. The British pilot also asked whether there were any military exercises going on in Ireland on the same day. However, authorities clarified that there were no such exercises organized on November 9.

During the time of the UFO sighting, the flight was traveling from Montreal to Heathrow. The pilot revealed that UFO initially came up along the left side of the airplane, and later traveled to the north in skyrocketing speed.

Soon after the UFO sighting, the Irish Aviation Authority kickstarted an investigation, and the probe is still going on.

In the meantime, some space experts suggested that the UFO spotted in the skies could be a meteor. However, alien enthusiasts believe that a change in trajectory is not a characteristic often showed by meteors.

2. The return of the black triangle

Triangle-shaped UFOs are very popular among conspiracy theorists for years. In 2018 too, these black triangles made a return, and the eerie video was released by popular extraterrestrial researcher Tyler Glockner who runs the YouTube channel 'Secureteam10'.

In a video uploaded with the title, 'CHECK THE SKY: The Silent Triangles Are Back', a triangle-shaped flying object can be seen hovering in the skies above Pennsylvania. Glockner suggested that the bizarre object spotted in the skies could be either alien vessels from deep space or secretive military vehicles like TR-3B.

Conspiracy theorists believe that TR-3B is a reverse-engineered anti-gravity military vessels developed by the United States Air Force during the cold war. As per these theorists, the US forces had built this spacecraft with the help of aliens whom they detained in Area 51.

3. The Green UFO spotted above the surface of Jupiter

This is perhaps the most perplexing UFO reporting which happened in 2018. The green UFO was initially spotted by conspiracy theorists after analyzing an image of Jupiter released by NASA. At first glance, the image seems pretty normal, but upon closer analysis, a green structure was seen hovering above the surface of Jupiter.

International Business Times, India too checked that image, and we were also literally shocked to see a giant green structure above the giant planet's surface.

However, experts dismissed the UFO angle and suggested that the bizarre green structure could be the result of an image sensor anomaly.

4. Strange UFO landing marks in Argentina

The newly spotted UFO marks in Argentina seem fresh, and there are now footprints in the surrounding snow.

This incident is not exactly a UFO sighting but can be considered as an indication of extraterrestrial arrival on earth. The bizarre marks were initially spotted by a man named Rodrigo in Moquehue, a small Argentinian village.

The prints were apparently left by a flying vehicle in snow, and interestingly, there were no footprints surrounding the snow.

5. TV news anchor spots UFO during live show

A few months back, anchors of c5n news channel in Argentina were busy hosting program with a clear Buenos Aires sky in the background. Surprisingly, the news anchor spotted a metallic object in the skies, and she was literally shocked to see the object climbing up in the atmosphere.

The video soon went viral on the internet, and it made many conspiracy theorists believe that alien life is a reality.

NASA's New Horizons Ready for Historic Flyby of Ultima Thule in the Kuiper Belt

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will ring in the new year with an epic flyby at the edge of the solar system, and the stage is set for a truly historic encounter. And it's happening amid a partial government shutdown that initially threw a curveball into how the New Horizons team will share the flyby with the public.

On New Year's Day (Jan. 1), New Horizons will fly by the distant object Ultima Thule in the Kuiper Belt, a realm of icy objects at the edge of the solar system that includes Pluto. The flyby is a second for New Horizons, which flew by Pluto in July of 2015, and will mark the first-of-its-kind close look at a Kuiper Belt object forged during the birth of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago.

"It's electric, across the whole team," New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) said in short flyby preview webcast  today (Dec. 28) on YouTube and Facebook Live hosted by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel Maryland. JHUAPL oversees the New Horizons mission for NASA. "The people are ready. We can't wait to go exploring."

Because of a partial U.S. government shutdown that began Dec. 22, some of NASA's public outreach feeds were initally silenced. JHUAPL has taken over mission briefings (like today's webcast) and will provide live updates via the JHUAPL YouTube page for flyby events on Monday and Tuesday (Dec. 31 and Jan. 1). You can see a full schedule here.

Today, NASA began carrying the JHUAPL briefings on its NASA.gov/live page and posting Twitter announcements via @NASANewHorizons and other accounts. But the agency's website continues to point visitors to JHUAPL for the latest mission updates and photos.

"The primary effect has been a loss of NASA public affairs, which has made our public engagement much more challenging," Stern told Space.com in an email. But, he added, the mission team isn't distracted. "We're focused." 

That focus is key because Stern and the New Horizons team are attempting something that's never been done before: the farthest flyby of an an object in history, a record last set by the same team in 2015 at Pluto. 

Ultima Thule — officially known as 2014 MU69 — is 4.1 billion miles (6.6 billion kilometers) from Earth. That's about 1 billion miles beyond Pluto, Stern said in the webcast. 

If all goes well, New Horizons will zip by Ultima Thule on New Year's Day at 12:33 a.m. EST (0533 GMT) at a whopping 39,000 mph (62,764 km/h). At its closest point, New Horizons will be 2,200 miles (3,540 km) from Ultima Thule. That's about the distance between Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., with Ultima Thule appearing about as large to New Horizons as the full moon does to observers on Earth, Stern said. 

The stakes are high. It takes 6 hours and 8 minutes for a signal to reach Earth from New Horizons. A roundtrip for a signal is just over half a day: 12 hours and 15 minutes. So New Horizons will have to work on its own during the actual rendezvous, just as it did at Pluto.

"Because this is a flyby mission, you only get one chance to get it right," Alice Bowman, mission operations manager for New Horizons, said in the webcast. 

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft launched on its initial mission to Pluto in 2006, making a flyby of the dwarf planet on July 14, 2015. A year before that historic encounter, astronomers discovered Ultima Thule, giving the mission team a tantalizing second target to visit. 

"Very few teams have had this experience and this privilege of crossing the entirety of our solar system on a mission," Stern said in the webcast. "Really only the Pioneers and the Voyagers that came before us." 

Not a lot is known about Ultima Thule. It is much smaller than Pluto, but its exact size and shape are unknown. It may have a reddish tint, but it isn't reflecting light like scientists initially expected, raising eyebrows ahead of Tuesday's flyby. 

"We don't have a lot of information on the composition," said mission co-investigator Kelsi Singer of SwRI. "That's one of the things we're really excited to learn."

That reddish tint of Ultima Thule? Scientists aren't sure what causes that either, Singer added. 

Stern said any new discoveries from Ultima Thule will help unlock mysteries of the solar system's history. 

"This is a time capsule that we've never seen before that's going to take us back four and a half billion years to the birth of the solar system," he added.

Multiple Scientists Publish Papers Suggesting The Moon Is Hollow & Artificially Made

It is not out of the question that artifacts of these visits still exist, or even that some kind of base is maintained (possibly automatically) within the solar system to provide continuity for successive expeditions. Because of weathering and the possibility of detection and interference by the inhabitants of the Earth, it would be preferable not to erect such a base on the Earth’s surface. The Moon seems one reasonable alternative. Forthcoming high resolution photographic reconnaissance of the Moon from space vehicles – particularly of the back side – might bear these possibilities in mind.

– Carl Sagan

Controversy has surrounded the Moon for a very long time, we have leaks, research, and information from some very credible sources who have, over a span of decades, been relaying to the public that our Moon is not what we think it is, and that there’s also some type of extraterrestrial presence on the Moon.

One example would be the testimony of Colonel Ross Dedrickson, who was responsible for maintaining the inventory of the nuclear weapon stockpile for the United States, he had a long stint with the US Atomic Energy Commission, you can view his obituary here.

Shortly before his passing, Dedrickson told the world that the US tried to detonate atomic weapons on the Moon for scientific purposes, measurements, and whatnot and that this project was halted by extraterrestrials, who would not allow us to detonate any nuclear weapons in space. These were some interesting comments because he is one of the hundreds of high ranking military people who have alluded to such things, and we also have a declassified report by the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center from June 1959 that shows how seriously they were considering the plan, the report is called Project A119.

We know for a fact that the US wanted to investigate the capability of weapons in space, and if they did, we also know that we would never be told, similar to the testing that goes on here on planet Earth.

Then, we have remote viewers from the STARGATE program who have ‘seen’ strange structures and humanoid creatures on the Moon, like Ingo Swann (from his book, titled Penetration), for example. He wasn’t the only one from the program who did, I have personally had conversations with Dr. Paul Smith, a retired army veteran who spent a decade in that program, he also relayed to me that something strange is happening on the Moon. Many from within that program have been very outspoken about an extraterrestrial presence.

We’ve published numerous articles about it and you can read more about the remote viewing program here.

Multiple whistleblowers have also spoken of strange structures on the Moon, and it’s become so obvious that some academicians are trying to do what they can to bring attention to it. For example, a recently published paper in the Journal of Space Exploration about certain features on the far side of the Moon that appear in the crater Paracelsus C. Titled “Image Analysis of Unusual Structures on the Far Side of the Moon in the Crater Paracelsus C,” argues that these features might be artificial in origin, meaning someone other than a human being built them and put them there.

It’s not just the Moon, a physicist from the University of Tennessee Space Institute, Dr. Horace Crater, recently published a paper in The Journal of Space Explorationthat, along with the NASA Viking images, hints “strongly at artificial surface interventions.”

The list is long, and the idea that somebody else is on the moon is nothing new, even the Deputy Manager for the Clementine Mission to the moon in 1995 said it was really a photo reconnaissance mission to check out structures on the far side of the Moon that wasn’t put there by humans.

But this article is not about what’s on the moon, it’s about what exactly the Moon is.

It’s also noteworthy to mention that the United States has been criticized by Russia for concealing artifacts they collected from the Moon.

I thought it was important to provide that brief overview before we get into it, so if you’d like to go more in depth you can check out the articles below:

Perhaps strangest of all the anomalies are the many indications that the moon may be hollow. Studies of moon rocks indicate that the moon’s interior differs from the Earth’s mantle in ways suggesting a very small core or none at all. A 1962 study found the interior of the moon to be less dense that the exterior.

– Jim Marrs, from his, Our Occulted History

Is the moon hollow? Many intellectual minds seem to think so, but despite what’s really being talked about, these theories are still considered unconventional by the mainstream, who like to push their own theories and teach them as fact.

Perhaps the reason why the US has not disclosed their artefacts from the moon, including all of the rocks, is because from what we do have, studies of moon rocks have shown that the Moon’s interior is far different from the Earth’s mantle which suggests a very small core, or, no core at all.

In 1962 Gordon MacDonald, a NASA scientist, published a study that stated, “Indeed, it would seem that the Moon is more like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere.”

According to Sean C. Solomon, “The Lunar Orbiter experiments vastly improved our knowledge of the Moon’s gravitational field… indicating the frightening possibility that the Moon might be hollow.” (Our Occulted History)

Solomon is the director of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. He is also principal investigator on the NASA MESSENGER mission to Mercury.

Here is a paper by Solomon on the topic published in 2014 discussing how, after decades of data, they still have no idea about the moons inner core and what it’s comprised of. There are multiple theories out there that’ve developed from this supposed uncertainty, including a fluid core.

Marrs elaborates in his book:

“The most startling evidence that the moon could be hollow came on November 20, 1969, when the Apollo 12 crew, after returning to their command ship, sent the lunar module (LM) ascent stage crashing back onto the moon, creating an artificial moon quake. The LM struck the surface about forty miles from the Apollo 12 landing site, where super sensitive seismic equipment recorded something both unexpected and astounding – the moon reverberated like a bell for more than an hour. Frank Press of MIT stated, “…none of us have seen anything like this on Earth. In all our experience, it is quite an extraordinary event. That this rather small impact… produced a signal which lasted 30 minutes is quite beyond the range of our experience.”

How Did The Moon Get To Where It Is?

Conventional wisdom tells us that yes, the Moon may have originated elsewhere and at some point came to orbit our planet. It tells us that it was formed from debris after a space object smashed into Earth, while another theory states that Earth captured the Moon via its gravitational pull when it was wandering through the solar system.

Despite that, our current theories are accepted as fact, there is absolutely no evidence for the conventional hypothesis. According to Isaac Asimov, an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University,

It’s too big to have been captured by the Earth. The chances of such a capture having been effected and the Moon then having taken up nearly circular orbit around our Earth are too small to make such an eventuality credible.

Asimov also emphasized that,

We cannot help but come to the conclusion that the Moon, by rights, ought not to be there. The fact that it is, is one of those strokes of luck almost too good to accept.

Other members of the Soviet Academy of Sciences (Vasin and Scherbakov, 1970), run by the Russian Government, published an article titled, “Is the Moon the Creation of Alien Intelligence?” This article offered another explanation for how the Moon may have been created. This seems to be a better hypothesis because there is actually a considerable amount of evidence that points towards something suspicious happening on the Moon.

It’s easier to explain the non-existence for the Moon, than it’s existence

– NASA scientist Robin Brett

The best explanation for the Moon is observational error – the Moon doesn’t exist

– Irwin Shapiro, Harvard Astrophysicist

Think about it… the Moon is in a nearly perfect circle, when it comes to its origin, all the while being synchronized with its period of revolution, so one side always faces the Earth.

As Marrs points out,

This circular orbit is especially odd, considering that the moon’s center of mass lies more than a mile closer to the Earth than its geometric center. This fact alone should produce an unstable, wobbly orbit, much as a ball with its mass off-center will not roll in a straight line.

Were The Sumerians On To Something?

Many within this field are really into ancient Greek and ancient Sumerian lore. Take Apollo 12 astronaut, Al Worden, for example, who made some very interesting comments about the Sumerians as well as extraterrestrial life in a live interview you can watch here.

In the late 1960’s, a senior scientist from the Planetary Science Institute, William Kenneth Harmann, stated he believes that the Moon results from a collision between Earth and another body at least the size of Mars. This became known as the Big Whack theory, and it correlated to the story told in ancient Sumerian tablets.

According to several interpretations of Sumerian tablets, most notably from Zacharia Sitchin, more than 4 billion years ago, a large watery world called Tiamat was in orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Nibiru, a planet that supposedly enters into our solar system once every 3,600 years, caused Tiamat to crack under gravitational stress. Tiamat was cracked in half when one of Nibiru’s moon’s knocked into it, which also knocked a large portion of Mars.

This is very interesting because recently scientists have confirmed that Mars used to be a very watery world, an Earth-like planet. There is even large amounts of evidence for ancient life on Mars before what appears to be a dramatic climate shift. Scientists hypothesize that the climate shift was a result of a large collision, the larger chunk of Tiamat became planet Earth.

So, it’s interesting to make that connection.

Back to the Moon!

“It’s important to remember that something had to put the moon at or near its present circular pattern around the Earth. Just as an Apollo space-craft circling  the Earth every 90 minutes while 100 miles high has to have a velocity of roughly 18,000 mies per hour to stay in orbit, so something had to give the moon the precisely required velocity for its weight and altitude…The point – and it is one seldom noted in considering the origin of the moon – is that it is extremely unlikely that any object would just stumble into the right combination of factors required to stay in orbit. ‘Something’ had to put the moon at its altitude, on its course and at its speed. The question is: what was that ‘something?”

– Marrs

It’s hard to believe that the precise and stationary orbit of the moon is simply a coincidence…

“Is it also a coincidence that the moon is at just the right distance from Earth to completely cover the sun during an eclipse? While the diameter of the moon is a mere 2,160, miles against the sun’s gigantic 864,000 miles, it is nevertheless in just the proper position to block out all but the sun’s flaming corona when it moves between the sun and Earth.

- Marrs

According to Asimov,

“There is no astronomical reason why the Moon and the sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is blessed in this fashion.”

With all of the evidence that has surfaced showing an extraterrestrial presence on the Moon, to me, the spaceship theory proposed by Michael Vasin and Alexander Scherbakov (mentioned above) makes the most sense.

According to Marrs,

The spaceship-moon theory may come closer than any other in reconciling the contradictions inherent in the origin and amazing orbit of the moon. However, such a consideration is supposed to be outside the discussion of educated and rational people. The circular logic of conventional science regarding the origins of the moon runs something like this: We know that extraterrestrials don’t exist, but we do know that the moon exists and has been mentioned throughout human history. We humans did not create it nor place it in orbit around Earth,  it must have been done by extraterrestrials. But because we know they don’t exists, we will simply call it an anomaly and will not publicly say any more about.

The truth about the UFO above the Pentagon 2018

{ https://www.disclose.tv/ }

Just a week before NASA’s New Horizons mission is scheduled to arrive at the most far-flung object ever studied, mission scientists have noticed something that raised their eyebrows. The object they’re planning to approach around New Years Eve is behaving strangely — and at this point, they can only guess as to why.

The New Horizons mission was first launched in 2006, as part of NASA’s plan to study the remote, icy regions of our solar system. In 2015, New Horizons completed a 6-month study of dwarf planet Pluto, but New Horizons has always had its sights set on probing deeper regions of the Kuiper Belt — an area beyond Neptune which NASA calls “a region of leftovers from the solar system’s early history.” In December the team behind the project revealed that they are headed deeper they intend to approach an object called KBO 2014 MU69, or “Ultima Thule” which is roughly 4 billion miles from the sun.

But on Sunday, the project scientists noticed something weird about Ultima Thule: it wasn’t reflecting light the way you would expect from an object of that nature.

Earlier images of Ultima Thule revealed that it’s actually two objects that are either joined at the hip or very closely orbiting one another. These objects reflect sunlight, you would expect light to pulsate as the strangely shaped object rotates and the light reflects differently off of it — these changes are also called a light curve. But Ultima Thule’s isn’t getting brighter or dimmer as it rotates.

So far, scientists have posed three potential explanations behind the missing light curve. Marc Buie, Ph.D., an astronomer at the Southwest Research Institute who collaborates on the New Horizon missions, suggested that it might just be a matter of orientation. He proposed that the rotational pole of Ultimate Thule is just pointed at New Horizons, which would affect how much light actually reaches the spacecraft.

Mark Showalter, Ph.D., a senior research scientist at the Seti Institute suggested that the object might simply be obscured by a dust cloud. And finally, in a more out-there explanation, a New Horizons assistant project scientist Anne Verbiscer, Ph.D., added that Ultima Thule could potentially be surrounded by “many tiny tumbling moons,” which could interfere with Ultima Thule’s light curve.

Which one of these three ideas might it be? Alan Stern, Ph.D., the project’s principal investigator tells Inverse isn’t ready to throw his weight behind any of the ideas just yet.

“We don’t know which is more likely or whether something else is up. Ultima is guarding her secrets well, but we’re getting closer and flyby is only a week away.”

How To Watch The Flyby During A Government Shutdown

Stern expects to get some answers once the probe actually gets close enough to see Ultima Thule for itself. New Horizons will pass 2,200 miles from Ultima Thule at approximately 12:33 a.m. EST on New Years Day. In the meantime, he added that the team is hard at work — even during Christmas Eve — preparing for their flyby. But largely as Stern indicated, the mission is proceeding as planned.

The only change will be that we won’t be able to watch the live coverage of the event on NASA TV because of the government shutdown, which commenced at midnight on December 21st. Instead, Stern added that they will be streaming their coverage on the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Youtube channel.

“The pace of activity here at mission control at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory is intense and exciting,” Stern says. “Mission operations, encounter operations, navigation operations, and science team operations are all proceeding in parallel. We will soon know.”

Investigation Reveals Hole In Soyuz 'Was Drilled From The Inside'

Neither space debris nor a meteorite caused the hole in the Soyuz capsule. It was drilled from the inside. Now a Russian investigation is in progress.

On Thursday last week, the three ISS crew members Serena Auñón-Chancellor, Alexander Gerst and Sergej Prokopjew returned safely to Earth on board the Soyuz MS-09. Prokopiev has now confirmed that the hole was drilled from the inside, according to the Associated Press. On the inside of the hole, there were traces of a drill. However, it is not yet clear when and by whom it was drilled.

The most probable cause of the leak is a minor accident during the construction of the space capsule. Instead of reporting the incident, a worker could have taped the hole. In the cold of space, the glue could have shrunk and finally been pushed out by the internal pressure of the space station.
