‘Fire in The Sky’ is the Scariest and Most Realistic Alien Abduction Scene Ever – Based on Real Life Experience (video)

‘Fire in the Sky’ was originally released in theaters 27 years ago in 1993 as a homage to the real abduction story of Travis Walton.

His story is rather famous as he speaks of having been kidnapped for five whole days and kept inside of the alien ship where the aliens did experiments on him. His coworkers all saw the abduction happen and reported on it right as it happened.

The movie in itself is amazing, as the practical effects here are amongst the greatest that we’ve ever seen to be fair.

But, sadly enough the movie couldn’t compete with some of the greatest movies of all time, Jurassic Park and the Nightmare Before Christmas, as it barely made its money back at the time.

The movie in itself is based around the book that Walton released soon after his abduction was made public titled The Walton Experience.

Although the main character is still Walton the movie in itself revolves around his coworkers that saw it all happen and now have to deal with being scrutinized for even reporting the existence of an alien, to begin with.

The most popular scene however is by far the scariest one of all time too as you can see the whole process of Travis being captured, put on a table, and being experimented on.

Check out the scene yourself if you want to or if you prefer it, we suggest you watch the whole thing. It is honestly worth every minute as it is one of the greatest alien movies of all time.

If one follows the waters of Loch Ness as they flow into River Ness, they next move into Beauly Firth (an inlet), then Moray Firth before entering the North Sea. Along the way, they pass the ancient fishing town and current seaside resort of Nairn. While it doesn’t have a loch monster, Nairn has a monstrosity of its own that has been plaguing residents for decades without an explanation or resolution – a mysterious hum similar to those plaguing people in other towns around the world. The Nairn Hum is back in the news again – will this time be any different or are Nairners doomed to continue to suffer from a monster that doesn’t help tourism or their nerves at all?

“It’s an absolute nightmare. We are getting tortured in our own house. It’s a low frequency pulsing noise and it’s incessant. My husband thinks it could come from an electricity substation and it’s also been suggested it could be coming from as far away as Invergordon. We just don’t know. One of our neighbours a couple of fields away hears a droning pulsating noise all the time too. We can’t even go into our caravan at the bottom of the garden because of the noise.”

Blan Bremner and her husband Robert told The Inverness Courier this past week about the “incessant” droning Nairn hum which tortures and puzzles them and their neighbors. Robert claims it has given the couple headaches and “I have nose bleeds,” yet the hum has not gone away nor been explained since they first reported it, according to an archived article in the Scottish Daily Mail in 2018.

“We started hearing the noise on February 9 when we moved into our home. Then when our new chimney was put up it seemed to act like an amplifier for the noise. It’s everywhere around Ardersier and Nairn.”

For decades, some residents of Largs on the Firth of Clyde have reported being plagued by a low, unexplained droning sound which has been dubbed the "Largs Hum".

That article reports that environmental health officials were called and they were unable to link the noise to any physical cause like the local airport, electricity substations, ferries or wind farms. A Highland Council spokesperson said they’ve received only one report and an inspector heard nothing. However, the hum report sounds similar to many in Largs, North Ayrshire – another seaside town about 170 miles south – which date back to the 1980s and have never been explained to frustrated residents.

“As a member for these areas I have investigated fully, but frankly it remains a mystery. I can only surmise that it must be something to do with recent developments in the area. I have visited homes myself and these are very real complaints. I’ve heard it for myself. As a council we have carried out tests by our environmental health department but we can’t pin down where it’s coming from. I’ve done everything I can. We’ve had our staff at the council and SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) investigating, but I just don’t know how some of these poor souls live with this. You can’t avoid the noise and it’s having a terrible impact on their wellbeing.”

That frustration is felt by Culloden and Ardersier councillor Glynis Campbell-Sinclair, who represents Nairn. She tells The Inverness Courier that factory expansions and new sewer works have been ruled out, and she’s obviously at a loss to comfort or help her constituents.

Where’s Saint Ninian – patron of Nairn?

If it’s not physical, is the Nairn hum something paranormal – perhaps linked to its close proximity to Loch Ness, where paranormal activities have been proposed to explain the mysterious appearances and disappearances of its famous monster?

Blan and Robert Bremner and their neighbors probably don’t care what it is – even if it’s a paranormal cause that could help local tourism – they just want the Nairn hum gone.

Three Lights Over Yakima, Washington May 2021, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: March 2021

Location of sighting: Yakima, Washington, USA

Source: MUFON

 

As a person was driving one night toward Yakima, WA they noticed three glowing lights in the sky approaching them. The lights were in a giant triangle formation and seem to be a single craft. The lights are too close to be planes and the lights do not match aircraft. The lights also don't match the orange hue from Chinese lanterns. UFOs have been seen over Yakima in the past, but this one compares to the famous Phoenix Lights incident. This UFO is so large, it would cover three football fields...being about 300 meters across! Any craft that size in the air is not man made, but alien made.

This footage was filmed in the CIC (Combat Information Center) of the USS Omaha on July 15th 2019 in a warning area off San Diego by Visual Intelligence Personnel (VIPER team). 

This RADAR data release shows four clips; multiple unknown targets (and one civilian vessel). Some of the unknown targets drop off RADAR in this footage. 

This happened numerous times throughout the UFO encounter series. At the height of the contacts - there were at least fourteen unknowns observed at one time. The event series reached a crescendo with one of the unknown targets entering the water at 11pm. No wreckage found. None of the unidentified craft were recovered.

Britain's REAL X Files: Ministry of Defence could relaunch team of UFO hunters after US release Pentagon report into alien life

•  A team of UFO hunters could be relaunched by the Ministry of Defence (MoD)

•  Comes as report by Pentagon into extraterrestrial life prepares to be released

• Report from the Director of National Intelligence will be sent to the US Congress

By BHVISHYA PATEL FOR MAILONLINE

A team of UFO hunters could be relaunched by the Government to monitor the skies over Britain in the wake of a report by the US into extra-terrestrial life, a source has said.

The now-defunct Ministry of Defence division, which was axed in 2009 after nearly 60 years of official research and investigations, could once again relaunch depending on the findings of a looming Pentagon report into UFOs.

The report from the Director of National Intelligence will be sent to the US Congress next month, with an unclassified version being made available to the public. 

Pentagon officials have made clear that their real interest is in whether UFOs, or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), could represent actual threats here on earth.  

The release of the report could now pave the way for the Ministry of Defence's UFO desk to be revived.

A source told The Telegraph: 'I think that if there was enough evidence to suggest that there was something, and that we needed to do it as well as the US, then of course we'd think about it. We'd look at it. 

'There's all sorts of things that we wouldn't rule out, and this would certainly be one of them.'  

Last August, the Pentagon formed a task force 'to detect, analyse and catalog UAPs that could potentially pose a threat to US national security.'

However an official said that many UFO sightings could be everyday objects that increasingly clutter air space such as weather balloons, metallic party balloons and amateur and professional drones.

They also said that sightings could also be of the Pentagon's own highly classified experiments and prototypes.

Sue Gough, a Department of Defense spokesperson, said: 'The Department of Defense takes reports of incursions into our airspace - by any aircraft, identified or unidentified - very seriously, and investigates each one.

'As we collect additional data, we expect to close the gap between identified and unidentified and avoid strategic surprise regarding adversary technology.' 

Meanwhile Luis Elizondo, the former Director of Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program at the Pentagon,  said on the ABC News program 'This Week' that some of the objects that have been sighted 'can outperform anything that we have in our inventory.'

He said: 'We know that whatever it is in our skies is real. The question is, what is it? 'The bottom line is, we simply don't know.'  

Mr Elizondo added that while he hoped the report would give Congress what it needed, 180 days to produce the detailed report was not enough time.

He told CNN: 'I hope the report gives Congress what it asked for and also what it deserves and that is a current assessment of the situation.

'My only concern in 180 days is not a sufficient amount of time to provide a comprehensive report.

'When I was working at the Pentagon we did this for nearly a decade and there is a lot of information to go through.

'My fear is 180 days is not going to be long enough to provide that comprehensive report to Congress.' 

This month, defence minister Baroness Goldie said the UK 'does not have a role' in the US's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force bit had been made 'aware' of the approaching report.     

In 2016, Nick Pope, who headed the now-defunct Ministry of Defence division for UFOs from 1991-1994, said that of the 12,000 sightings that the programme investigated, approximately 5 per cent remained unexplained. 

The former investigator said in 1980 the department were alerted to a UFO close to the Bentwaters and Woodbridge airbases.

The team later concluded that radiation levels at the site had been 'significantly higher than the average background'.

Meanwhile in 1993, multiple sightings of a UFO were reported over a period of six hours overnight in Cosford, Shropshire.      

However in 2016, the team were disbanded amid a series of financial cuts and a statement released by the department explained that the MoD 'had no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extra-terrestrial life.'

The statement read: 'The MOD has no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life. However, in over fifty years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom.'

Following the move, Mr Pope criticised the decision to close the department  without a public consultation.

He told The Sun: 'We're leaving ourselves wide open to terrorist attack.'

The investigator added: 'There has been no announcement in Parliament and no public consultation.' 

In 2019, it was revealed that NASA would scan hundreds of the nearest exoplanets in search for alien life.

The American agency announced a new partnership with SETI scientists leading the $100 million Breakthrough Listen project and said it would identify anomalies in the stellar 'light curves' and listen for 'technosignatures'.

Dr. S. Pete Worden, Executive Director of the Breakthrough Initiatives, said at the time: 'It's exciting that the world's most powerful SETI search, with our partner facilities across the globe, will be collaborating with the TESS team and our most capable planet-hunting machine.

'We're looking forward to working together as we try to answer one of the most profound questions about our place in the Universe: Are we alone?'

Team of UFO Hunters in Britain Might Officially Investigate UFO Sightings Again After US Release Pentagon Report into Alien Life

The government could relaunch a team of UFO hunters to monitor the skies over Britain in the wake of a US report on space alien life, a source has revealed.

The now-defunct Ministry of Defence division, shut down in 2009 after almost 60 years of official research and investigation, could once again launch depending on the findings of the upcoming Pentagon report into UFOs.

In June, the report from the Director of National Intelligence will be sent to the US Congress. Pentagon officials have reiterated that their genuine interest is in whether these unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) could represent actual threats on Earthy.

A source said that if there were sufficient proof to suggest that there was something and there was a need to do it, they would think about it and look at it.

Huge “highway” emerges from the Pacific Ocean: a lost civilization?

Just a few days ago, after the tide had dropped sharply, a “huge highway” of the Pacific Ocean appeared from the seabed.

The images went viral immediately and theories about a lost civilization were not long in coming.

On the shores of the Russian island of Sakhalin a huge stone road emerged from the waters. Although it did not last long on the surface, it was enough for hundreds of photographs to be taken.

Is this an artificial work or a product of nature? Although there was no time to analyze it, everything indicates that it is a man-made construction.

Huge highway in the pacific ocean

The mysterious apparition surprised the inhabitants of the island in the extreme east of Russia, very close to the Japanese archipelago.

This was announced by the Institute of Alternative History and Archeology in a publication on its website.

He also explained that, through Google Earth , many other underwater formations can be found on the same coast, a little further north.

The island of Sakhalin is the largest in the entire Russian Federation and borders the Japanese islands to the south. It is located in the Ring of Fire , known for having the most important subduction zones on the planet. This causes that, generally, it receives strong seismic and volcanic activity.

Obviously, some skeptics claim that this is most likely the natural reason for the mysterious structures. However, this would only explain its “formation”, but not its creation.

The Institute of Alternative History and Archeology showed other similar structures further north

To begin with, the formations that the institute mentions are further north.

 In addition, when observing the huge road it can be seen that it is very similar to those created by ancient man , but eroded by the obvious action of the sea.

Possible lost civilization

For that reason, many people have requested that a formal geological or archaeological investigation be made of this mysterious structure. Although no institute of traditional archeology has come forward.

It should be noted that, not far from that area, on the Japanese coast, are the mysterious underwater structures of Yonaguni .

According to different researchers, these sunken constructions belonged to the lost civilization of Mu .

The huge road along the Sakhalin coast also reminds the Bimini road , the possible Atlantean remains found in the Caribbean Sea.

So far not much is known about the huge road, other than that it is quite unusual and that its appearance was short-lived.

• As long as one of the traditional institutions is not pronounced, speculation will continue. The only good thing is that since there are so many images taken at the moment, there is no possibility that they hide the fact or want to deceive us by changing their shape.

No longer confined to the fringe, UFO theories move into the mainstream

Text by: Monique El-Faizy

The subject of UFOs in the US is getting serious treatment from mainstream media and heavyweight politicians. Next month Congress is set to review a report from the director of national intelligence about the government’s secret files on the subject.

So serious, in fact, that they have been given a new name. No longer called UFOs, or Unidentified Flying Objects, a term often associated with people of questionable sanity, the mysterious objects that have been reported by the hundreds, are now the source of discussion in serious scientific circles and have been rebaptised with the more serious-sounding moniker Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or UAPs.

Last June, officials made public the existence of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, housed within the Office of Naval Intelligence. Six months later, the 2021 Intelligence Authorization Act asked the director of national intelligence work and the secretary of defence to put together a report detailing everything the government knows about UAPs.

The report, which Congress is expected to review in June, will draw on classified military files and will address decades of sightings and videos, which date back to the 1940s. That such objects exist is increasingly becoming gospel; Officials from former president Barack Obama to Senator Marco Rubio to former senate majority leader Harry Reid are publicly saying that earth has been visited by flying objects that we don’t understand.

"What is true – and I'm actually being serious here – is that there's footage and records of objects in the skies that we don't know exactly what they are,” Obama told “The Late Late Show” on May 17. “We can’t explain how they move, their trajectory, they did not have an easily explainable pattern.”

Also that month, the CBS magazine show “60 Minutes” interviewed two Navy pilots from the USS Nimitz who were diverted in 2004 to investigate an peculiar radar signal. They described seeing an object shaped like a Tic Tac that was able to move straight up and down at inexplicable speeds.

In the same broadcast, Christopher Mellon, who served as deputy assistant secretary of defence for intelligence under presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, said the government had observed on radar objects capable of manouvres that could not be approximated. “There’s nothing that we can build that would be strong enough to endure that amount of force in acceleration,” he said.

In an interview with Fox News a month earlier, former intelligence director John Ratcliffe said there have been far more sightings than the public is aware of and described the phenomena like this: “We are talking about objects that have been seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery, that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate, that we don’t have the technology for or are traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”

Encounters of which kind?

The government has slowly been opening up about UAP sightings for more than a year. In April 2020 the Pentagon released three short videos showing such objects, and earlier this year Reid said the footage “only scratches the surface of research and materials available".

Reid called for further investigation. “The US needs to take a serious scientific look at this and any potential national security implications,” he said. “The American people deserve to be informed.”

French officials went public with stories of similar sightings decades ago. In 1999 a group of a dozen retired French generals and other experts issued a report called “UFOs and Defence: For What Must we Prepare Ourselves?”

What officials and scientists aren’t saying is that these are aliens coming from another planet to visit us. They simply don’t know what these objects are, they say. The discussion is still largely couched in distinctly concrete terms and centers around the concern that these craft may represent a threat from enemies here on earth.

At least one official has been willing to go further, though. In December 2020, Haim Eshed, the former head of the space directorate of the Israeli Defence Ministry, told the Yediot Aharonot newspaper that humans have been in contact with extraterrestrials and have signed a co-operation accord with them. 

Former president Donald Trump was in on the secret, he said, and had been “on the verge of revealing” it but was asked not to due to fears of “mass hysteria”.

Eshed’s assertion doesn’t seem to represent the consensus view in Israel. The chairman of the country’s Space Agency, Isaac Ben-Israel, told the Times of Israel that while the scientific community thinks the chances that there is life in outer space is “considerable, not small,” he doesn’t believe “there were any physical encounters between us and aliens".

NBC News followed up on Eshed’s statements about the agreement with aliens with the White House, Israeli officials and the Pentagon, but were unable to get a comment from any of them. A NASA spokesperson told NBC that the agency was searching for life in the universe, but had not yet found it.

Flying saucer watchers who are hoping for clear answers from the government are likely to be disappointed. While the report presented to Congress is expected to be detailed, the public will be given only the unclassified version, which is likely to be far less complete.

EEN VAN DE BESTE KANDIDATEN VOOR BUITENAARDS LEVEN HERBERGT MOGELIJK OOK ONDERZEESE VULKANEN

Vivian Lammerse

Het maakt het idee dat op de maan ooit leven ontstaan is, nog aannemelijker.

Jupiters maan Europa is een interessant exemplaar. Want áls er ergens in ons zonnestelsel leven is, zou dat volgens astronomen zomaar eens op Europa kunnen zijn. Een nieuwe studie zet die theorie nog meer kracht bij. Want uit het onderzoek blijkt dat er mogelijk heuse onderzeese vulkanen op de maan te vinden zijn.

Leven op Europa
Rond de planeet Jupiter cirkelen vele manen. Maar van al deze manen, wint de ijzige Europa het op populariteit. Astronomen zijn vooral geïnteresseerd in de maan omdat dit de beste plek is – binnen ons zonnestelsel – om op zoek te gaan naar buitenaards leven. Onderzoek suggereert namelijk dat onder de ijskorst een vloeibare oceaan te vinden is. En in die oceaan zou leven kunnen ontstaan en – doordat de ijskorst het beschermt tegen de gevaarlijke straling waarmee Europa continu gebombardeerd wordt – kunnen gedijen. Het zou dus best kunnen dat er biologisch materiaal onder het oppervlak van de maan Europa te vinden is. Een bezoekje brengen aan Europa staat dan ook al op de agenda.

Wetenschappers hebben sterke vermoedens dat Europa tussen zijn ijskoude korst en rotsachtige binnenkant in, een enorme oceaan herbergt. En nu toont het nieuwe onderzoek aan dat de maan mogelijk voldoende interne warmte genereert om deze rotsachtige laag gedeeltelijk te laten smelten. Een proces dat kan leiden tot – inderdaad – het ontstaan van onderzeese vulkanen

Hitte
Hoe het kan dat de rotsachtige mantel van Europa zo verzengend heet is? Dat heeft te maken met de enorme aantrekkingskracht die Jupiter op zijn manen heeft. Terwijl Europa rond de gasreus draait, wiebelt het binnenste van de ijzige maan een beetje. Door dit gewiebel ontstaat er energie in het binnenste van de maan, wat vervolgens als warmte naar buiten sijpelt. Hoe meer het binnenste van de maan wiebelt, hoe meer warmte er wordt gegenereerd. De studie modelleert in detail hoe het rotsachtige deel van Europa kan wiebelen en verhit wordt onder de sterke invloed van Jupiters zwaartekracht. Het laat zien waar warmte verdwijnt en hoe hierdoor de rotsachtige mantel smelt, waardoor er – vermoedelijk rond de polen – onderzeese vulkanen ontstaan.

De bevindingen van wetenschappers suggereren dat het binnenste van Jupiters maan Europa kan bestaan uit een ijzeren kern, omgeven door een rotsachtige mantel die in direct contact staat met een oceaan onder de ijskoude korst.

Het idee dat maan Europa mogelijk vulkanisch is, is overigens niet nieuw en al decennialang onderwerp van speculatie. Ter vergelijking: Jupiters maan Io is duidelijk vulkanisch. Honderden vulkanen spuwen lava uit, waarvan sommige vulkanisch as en stof tot wel 400 kilometer hoog de lucht in pompen. Dit is tevens het gevolg van dezelfde soort interne opwarming die wordt veroorzaakt door Jupiters zwaartekracht. Europa is echter verder dan Io van de gasreus verwijderd, waardoor wetenschappers zich al jarenlang afvragen of het effect vergelijkbaar kan zijn onder het ijzige oppervlak van maan Europa.

Leven
Mocht Europa inderdaad onderzeese vulkanen herbergen, dan maakt dit het idee dat op de maan ooit leven ontstaan is, nog aannemelijker. Onderwatervulkanen kunnen namelijk hydrothermische systemen aandrijven, zoals de systemen die het leven op de bodem van aardse oceanen voeden. Op aarde, wanneer zeewater in contact komt met heet magma, resulteert die interactie in chemische energie. En het is de chemische energie van deze hydrothermale systemen die – in plaats van zonlicht – het leven diep in onze eigen oceanen ondersteunt. Het betekent dat onderzeese vulkanen op Europa mogelijk op dezelfde manier het leven in de oceanen van de maan ondersteunen. “Onze bevindingen leveren aanvullend bewijs dat Europa’s ondergrondse oceaan een omgeving is die geschikt is voor het ontstaan van leven,” zegt onderzoeker Marie Běhounková. “Europa is één van de zeldzame planetaire lichamen die gedurende miljarden jaren zijn vulkanisme heeft behouden en mogelijk de enige is – buiten de aarde – met grote waterreservoirs en een langlevende energiebron.”

De wetenschappers zullen de gelegenheid krijgen om hun nieuwe voorspellingen te testen. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie stuurt namelijk een ruimtevaartuig naar Jupiters ijzige maan, die daar naar alle waarschijnlijkheid rond 2030 zal arriveren. De missie die Europa Clipper heet, zal tientallen scheervluchten langs Europa uitvoeren om zo meer te weten te komen over de oceaan die onder de dikke ijskorst schuilgaat. Europa Clipper zal daarnaast de zwaartekracht en het magnetische veld van de maan meten. En afwijkingen – vooral in de richting van de polen – zouden kunnen bevestigen wat door het nieuwe onderzoek wordt voorspeld. “De voorspelling van een heet, rotsachtig binnenste en onderzeese vulkanen op Europa vergroten de kans dat de uitgestrekte oceaan een bewoonbare omgeving is,” zegt onderzoeker Robert Pappalardo. “We kunnen dit testen met de geplande metingen van de zwaartekracht en de compositie van Europa Clipper. En dat is een heel opwindend vooruitzicht.”

A bit of a wobble! NASA's Ingenuity helicopter completes a sixth flight on Mars despite some 'unexpected motion' in the final few feet of its journey

• Ingenuity made its sixth flight on the Red Planet on May 22, NASA confirmed

• It traveled up 33ft before moving 492ft southwest at about nine miles per hour

• It travelled 49ft south while capturing images of a region of interest in the west 

• NASA says this second leg is where the system encountered stability issues

• This was caused by one missing image from the navcam that the onboard AI uses to determine where the helicopter is, how high it is and how fast it is going 

By RYAN MORRISON FOR MAILONLINE 

NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has survived its sixth flight on the Red Planet, but not everyone went to plan, with some 'unexpected motion' in the final few feet.

This motion was from an 'image processing issue' but the 4lb copter 'muscled through' the final 213ft of its 703ft flight over the Martian surface, NASA JPL tweeted.

The flight happened last week, on May 22, but NASA said it would be taking more time to review each flight before releasing data after the fifth flight was over, so information on it surviving the 'wobble' weren't released until Thursday. 

Despite the issue the helicopter, currently in a new phase where it is helping Perseverance scout for locations, 'landed safely and is ready to fly again.' 

The latest trip was designed to expand the flight envelope and demonstrate aerial-imaging capabilities by taking stereo images of a region of interest to the west.

Ingenuity climbed 33ft, moved 492ft southwest at 9 mph, travelled 49ft south while capturing images towards the west, before going another 164ft to its landing site. 

Despite encountering an anomaly in flight, the helicopter landed within 16ft of the intended landing location and did so due to 'stability margins' within flight control.

The NASA team are now planning a seventh flight for the 18 inch tall drone, that will happen after they've fixed the 'timing vulnerability' that led to the in-air 'wobble'.

NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has survived its sixth flight on the Red Planet, but not everyone went to plan, with some 'unexpected motion' in the final few feet 

Ingenuity arrived on Mars on February 18 strapped to the belly of the Perseverance rover, which acted as a data relay and photographer when flights first started.

The small robotic flying drone made its first flight on April 19, 2021, making history as the first powered controlled flight on another planet. 

Since then it has completed sixth successful flights, the first five as part of a 'technical demonstration' to prove something could fly on Mars, then this sixth flight was part of an extended mission support role, helping Perseverance. 

Telemetry from the sixth shows that the first 490ft leg of the flight went off without a hitch, but it was towards the end of that leg the first issue was detected.

Just over 50 seconds into the flight a glitch occurred in a pipeline of images used by the navigation system to predict the helicopters location, velocity and altitude.

This caused one single image out of hundreds to be lost, resulting in the navigation system operating from inaccurate information that caused the mid-flight wobble.  

NASA can't see this issues happening in real time due to the delay in sending data to and from the Red Planet - currently 207 million miles away from the Earth.

Scouring through the flight data after it was sent back to mission control - three hours after the helicopter landed - Ingenuity began adjusting its velocity and titling back and forth in an oscillating pattern. 

'This behaviour persisted throughout the rest of the flight,' wrote Håvard Grip, Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Chief Pilot.

'Prior to landing safely, onboard sensors indicated the rotorcraft encountered roll and pitch excursions of more than 20 degrees, large control inputs, and spikes in power consumption.' 

While airborne, Ingenuity keeps track of its motion using an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU) - that tracks acceleration and rotation rates. 

By integrating this information over time, it is possible to estimate where it is, how fast it is moving, and how it is oriented in space. 

The onboard control system reacts to the estimated motions by adjusting control inputs rapidly - at a rate of 500 times per second.

If the navigation system relied on the IMU alone, it would not be very accurate in the long run, according to NASA JPL, who added that errors would quickly accumulate, and the helicopter would eventually lose its way. 

Ingenuity uses navcam images, like this one, to calculate where it is, how fast it is going and how high above the Martian surface it is flying

The flight happened last week, on May 22, but NASA said it would be taking more time to review each flight before releasing data after the fifth flight was over, so information on it surviving the 'wobble' weren't released until Thursday

To solve this the navigation camera sends data back into the system to correct the IMU estimates on a regular basis.

'For the majority of time airborne, the downward-looking navcams takes 30 pictures a second of the Martian surface and immediately feeds them into the helicopter’s navigation system,' NASA explained.

As the image comes in the navigation system examines the timestamp to determine when it was taken and the algorithm makes predictions about what the camera should have bee seeing based on previous sets of predictions.

This includes surface features from images taken moments before and where those features actually appear in the new image.

This shift in surface features - however tiny - allows the artificial intelligence system to predict the actual location and estimate the position of the helicopter.

One single image was lost abut 54 seconds in, meaning all future images had the wrong timestamp, meaning the AI was working from inaccurate information.

'From this point on, each time the navigation algorithm performed a correction based on a navigation image, it was operating on the basis of incorrect information about when the image was taken,' Grip said. 

'The resulting inconsistencies significantly degraded the information used to fly the helicopter, leading to estimates being constantly “corrected” to account for phantom errors. Large oscillations ensued.' 

The NASA team are now planning a seventh flight for the 18 inch tall drone, that will happen after they've fixed the 'timing vulnerability' that led to the in-air 'wobble'

Ingenuity climbed 33ft, moved 492ft southwest at 9 mph, travelled 49ft south while capturing images towards the west, before going another 164ft to its landing site

Despite encountering this anomaly, Ingenuity was able to maintain flight and land safely on the surface within approximately 16 feet of the intended landing location.

One reason it was able to do so is the considerable effort that has gone into ensuring that the helicopter’s flight control system has ample “stability margin'. 

'We designed Ingenuity to tolerate significant errors without becoming unstable, including errors in timing,' said Grip.

Despite encountering an anomaly in flight, the helicopter landed within 16ft of the intended landing location and did so due to 'stability margins' within flight control. 

They didn't need the 'stability margin' in the earlier flights as it wasn't being pushed outside the realms of what the team expected for 'normal operations'.

But during flight six Ingenuity was pushed to travel faster, harder and further than in the previous five, causing the margin of error to 'come to the rescue'.

NASA also stops using navigation cameras in the final phase of a flight - during the descent and landing - in order to ensure smooth and continuous estimates.

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover took a selfie with the Ingenuity helicopter, seen here about 13 feet (3.9 meters) from the rover. This image was taken by the WATSON camera on the rover's robotic arm on April 6, 2021

'That design decision also paid off during Flight Six,' said Grip, adding that 'Ingenuity ignored the camera images in the final moments of flight, stopped oscillating, levelled its attitude, and touched down at the speed as designed.'

Despite the issues the flight was a success, according to NASA, with rotor system, actuators and power systems responding well to increased demands. 

'In a very real sense, Ingenuity muscled through the situation, and while the flight uncovered a timing vulnerability that will now have to be addressed, it also confirmed the robustness of the system in multiple ways,' said Grip.

NASA MARS 2020: THE MISSION WILL SEE THE PERSEVERANCE ROVER AND INGENUITY HELICOPTER SEARCH FOR LIFE

NASA's Mars 2020 mission will search for signs of ancient life on the Red Planet in a bid to help scientists better understand how life evolved on Earth. 

Named Perseverance, the main car-sized rover is explore an ancient river delta within the Jezero Crater, which was once filled with a 1,600ft deep lake.

It is believed that the region hosted microbial life some 3.5 to 3.9 billion years ago and the rover will examine soil samples to hunt for evidence of the life.

The $2.5 billion (£1.95 billion) Mars 2020 spaceship launched on July 30 with the rover and helicopter inside - and landed successfully on February 18, 2021.

Perseverance landed inside the crater and will collect samples that will eventually be returned to Earth for further analysis.

A second mission will fly to the planet and return the samples, perhaps by the later 2020s in partnership with the European Space Agency.

The insider's guide to the Pentagon UFO report

Talking about aliens and UFOs used to get lawmakers into trouble. But now, Washington wants to believe. 

In 2017, we (along with the NY Times) broke the news that the Pentagon secretly budgeted $22 million to study UFOs in 2009 – funded by the request of then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Obviously, one of the biggest challenges here is separating fact from fiction, fantasy and wild theories. But more and more, public officials and private entities are starting to embrace a subject that once would have been fatal to their credibility.

Here’s your guide to understanding what’s going on – and what the U.S. government is doing next.

Here is the latest report just out tonight:

From the NY Post:

The US government is actually gearing up to share information about the “reality” of UFOs with the public — and not a moment too soon, says the man who claims to have run the Pentagon’s UFO program for 9 years.

Former President Donald Trump’s $2.3 trillion appropriation bill for 2021 contained a mandate that the Pentagon and spy agencies must file a report about “unidentified aerial phenomena” or UAP. Most of us just call them flying saucers or UFOs.

Whatever the jargon, noted whistleblower Luis Elizondo — former head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which operated out of the secretive fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring — told The Post about the resulting blockbuster document, which is reportedly slated for release in June.

Tied to the mandate, Elizondo said the upcoming report touches down on the unexplainable. Longtime UFO believers are hungry for explanations of the tic-tac-shaped objects the Navy encountered in 2004, the strange “cubes within spheres” seen by Navy pilots in 2014, or the mysterious black triangles continually reported around the world.

Such details promise to come via the much anticipated report — and at least one evolution of belief: “I think the government has acknowledged the reality of UAP,” Elizondo exclusively told The Post, despite signing what he refers to as a “lifelong” NDA before he resigned from the Pentagon in 2017. “I think they all want answers and I think they are all willing to ask the hard questions.”

‘This is not a conversation like fine wine where the longer we keep a cork on it, the better it gets.’

During a press conference this week, Elizondo made clear that UFOs have been observed to have qualities that are nothing less than otherworldly. He described vessels flying at 11,000 miles-per-hour and being able to turn “instantly.”

Providing a comparison, he explained, for our most advanced jets going at the same speed, “if you wanted to make a right-hand turn, it would take you about half the state of Ohio to do it.”

He also detailed Spielberg-worthy operational capabilities that fall into the realm of “transmedium travel.” Elizondo explained that the eye-popping vessels can fly 50-feet above the Earth’s surface or 80,000 feet in the sky and even submerge underwater without a compromise in performance: “When you see that, you recognize you are dealing with a technology more advanced than ours.”

Even the way in which these inexplicable flying-machines manage to lift-off blows away rational engineering. “[These] things have no wings, no cockpits, no control surfaces, no rivets in the skin, no obvious signs of propulsion — and somehow they are able to defy the natural effects of Earth’s gravity,” Elizondo said. “How is that possible?”

Not only that, but Sara Carter reports that the pentagon has been testing alien material from crashes for decades (and we still don’t know what it is):

In another stunning admission the Pentagon has revealed that it has obtained and tested wreckage from Unidentified Flying Objects that have crashed on earth, according to numerous pages declassified in a Freedom of Information letter shared with The Sun media outlet.

According to a report in The Sun, Anthony Bragalia’s FOIA request to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), which requested details of all UFO material was approved for public release. Bragalia shared the information with The Sun, which published the documents. The documents stipulate that the United States DOD has conducted tests on material that had been collected from wreckage that allegedly was not from Earth.

The discovery of advanced life outside of our planet would be the one of the biggest revelations for mankind and would literally change the way we view ourselves and our universe.

I recently interviewed Luis ‘Lue’ Elizondo, a friend and the former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (ATTIP), the secretive Pentagon unit that studied UFOs. Elizondo discussed recent unexplained encounters between the U.S. military and the UFO’s on the The Sara Carter Show. He noted that the Defense Department has been conducting research into the mysteries of what is now more commonly described as Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon, or UAPs. He also discussed the interest of other nations, including the recent admissions of senior Russian military officials who say Moscow is studying the same phenomenon and that there is concern that these crafts are interested in our Earth’s nuclear capabilities.

Extraterrestrial civilizations: “Several have existed in the galaxy” (Video)

A new study reveals that a large number of extraterrestrial civilizations have populated our galaxy for millions of years.

It’s strange that NASA reports things related to aliens . However, his new study has yielded an almost definitive conclusion: civilizations existed in our galaxy for billions of years.

The study was conducted by scientists at the California Institute of Technology and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Alien civilizations in the galaxy

According to the results of the study, this event occurred around 8 billion years in the past. After the Milky Way formed.

This means that our galaxy has hosted different extraterrestrial civilizations old that were destroyed or destroyed themselves .

Research published on arxiv.org reveals that the best time for intelligent life to appear in our Milky Way had to be at least 8,000 years after its formation. Experts believe that such a phenomenon occurred about 13 thousand light years from the center of the galaxy .

To reach this conclusion, Xiang Cai, Jonathan H. Jiang, Kristen A. Fahy, and Yuk L. Yung used different statistical models, showing them the best time for intelligent life to be born.

This according to different parameters, which include well-established astrophysical properties of the Milky Way and other factors, which are not commonly taken into account, such as the process of abiogenesis .

Abiogenesis is the creation of life from inanimate substances . This process is considered the most probable path towards the birth of life .

Three main parameters of civilizations

Thanks to mathematical models, where it is assumed that life is possible in stars similar to the Sun, with planets similar to Earth , life could appear through the Poisson Process or abiogenesis.

The different evolutionary time scales and the self – annihilation of the species were also taken into account .

The study revealed that self-annihilation is the main factor in determining the amount of time an alien civilization can exist in our galaxy.

In addition, results were obtained, on a location for intelligent extraterrestrial life in an annular region, approximately 8 billion light years away , with complex life; decreasing temporally and spatially from the peak point. Thus, a high probability of intelligent life is confirmed in the inner disk of the Milky Way.

Obviously, the simulated age distributions also suggest that most intelligent life is young . It is for that reason that it is so difficult to observe or detect it.

• Is it possible to assure that we are not the only intelligent civilization that has existed in the Milky Way? This study brings us closer to the truth of our origins and the possibility that other civilizations exist alongside us.

There have been several prehistoric species that have been found recently, so let’s take a look at four of them.

The remains of a 95-million-year-old dinosaur found in Eromanga, Queensland, are believed to be from an entirely new species. Robyn Mackenzie, who is a Director and Palaeontologist for the Eromanga Natural History Museum, told 9News.com.au that “…it’s most probably going to be the nation’s youngest dinosaur.” She went on to say that this presumably new species was a type of plant-eating dinosaur called a sauropod.

So far, the researchers found vertebrae bones but are hoping to find more as they continue to dig around the site. A picture of the bone can be seen here.

(Not the sauropod found in Queensland)

Moving over to an Egyptian desert now, the remains of numerous fish that lived 56 million years ago were able to survive in hot water. The ancient fish lived in waters that reached temperatures of around 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius). The fossils belonged to over 12 groups of bony fish that included percomorph acanthomorphs (this group includes bass, bluegills, and walleye), moonfish from the Mene genus, bonytongues, and hatchetfish.

Over 60 bones belonged to the Mene – a genus that is still around today and lives in certain areas of the Pacific and Indian oceans. To put this into better perspective, the seasonal average water temperature of the Pacific Ocean is anywhere between 43 and 87 degrees Fahrenheit (6 to 31 degrees Celsius) and the Indian Ocean’s seasonal average temperature is between 68.7 and 86.4 degrees Fahrenheit (20.4 to 30.2 degrees Celsius).

Pictures of the fish can be seen here.

The moonfish Mene (pictured) was the most common fossil found at the site, with more than 60 specimens discovered

A modern day Mene, which lives in the Pacific and Indian oceans in tropic and subtropic regions

A percomorph, a member of the same group that includes familiar Michigan species such as walleye and perch, from Ras Gharib A

Paleontologists from Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Center (pictured) helped excavate the area

The fossils were found in dark-gray shale in a site in the Eastern Desert known as Ras Gharib A, roughly 200 miles southeast of Cairo

Now onto a much colder area, the first ever fossil of an amphibian was unearthed in Antarctica. Named Micropholis stowi, this salamander-sized amphibian lived during the Early Triassic Period (around 250 million years ago).

The Micropholis stowi was about the size of a salamander.

The majority of Micropholis stowi fossils have been found in South Africa so the one found in Antarctica is pretty significant in regards to learning how they were able to adapt to high-latitude environments. When this species was alive, Earth had a large landmass called Pangea which brought Antarctica and South Africa much closer together than they are today. Furthermore, it’s possible that they had similar temperatures which would make sense for the amphibian to travel from one place to the other and that it was probably great at adapting to many different types of habitats. A picture of the Micropholis stowi remains can be seen here.

And finally, a rare fossil belonging to an extinct marine reptile was found in the Havarim Stream in Israel’s southern Negev Desert and dates back approximately 70 million years. Researchers uncovered 16 vertebrae, a jawbone, and additional bones beneath a rock in the stream. It is believed that the remains were from a type of Mosasaurus that once inhabited the Tethys Ocean which is no longer present. They became extinct along with the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago.

Dark UFO Over Maderia beach, Florida On May 23, 2021, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: May 23, 2021

Location of sighting: Maderia Beach, Florida, USA

Source: MUFON report

 

This short clip was just sent in today. The clip is 1 min and 12 seconds and shows a craft tilting slightly and seems to be a UFO in a thick almost pentagon shaped craft. The object was seen during sunset and flew over the ocean and suddenly disappeared from sight. Its highly likely the UFO took a nose dive into the ocean so that it could better hide from the camera recording it. UFOs can travel under water as easily as they travel in space.

Eyewitness states: 

Object flew west to east and disappeared about 500 feet above ocean. Object suddenly appeared flew by for a couple minutes and then disappeared.

7 UFOs Over Palm Beach, Florida, Google Earth Map, UFO Sighting News.

Date of event: December 2002
Location of sighting: Palm Beach, Florida, USA

 

Now I promised last year that when I get to 50k subscribers on Youtube than I would release something special to me. Something I have been holding back for 19 years. I discovered these seven UFOs many years ago, but decided to archive screenshots, locations and videos of them in case they were deleted. It was 3 years before the invention of Youtube. A few months later the UFOs disappeared from google map. Little did I realize then that in the future Google would place a time button on the map, allowing us to go back and find these objects again. So...here I am...making good with my promise to the public. A man is only as good as his word. 

 

I have said many times over the years that Florida has an alien base that runs from the ocean to under parts of Florida itself. This video of these 7 UFOs are 100% proof of that. I mean two of the UFOs are actually materializing through the ground and have shadows on the from the trees nearby. The UFOs are each 60 meters across and all the same shape, but a few are tilted. All have a myst fuzziness around them, due to the propulsion systems. Most UFO reports from eyewitnesses state that they see a myst or fuzziness around the UFOs. This concurs with those reports.

19 FASCINERENDE WEETJES OVER ONS ZONNESTELSEL

Tim Kraaijvanger

Wist je dat een dag op aarde steeds langer duurt? En dat maan Charon van Pluto een mega-Grand Canyon heeft van 1600 kilometer lang? 19 fascinerende weetjes over ons eigen zonnestelsel.

#1 Een dag op Venus duurt langer dan een jaar op Venus
Onlangs is bekend geworden dat een dag op Venus 243 aardse dagen lang is. Een jaar op Venus duurt 224,6 aardse dagen. Daarnaast varieert de rotatiesnelheid van Venus. De afwijking bedraagt ongeveer twintig minuten. Mogelijk is de variërende rotatiesnelheid te wijten aan de dikke atmosfeer. Terwijl de atmosfeer rond de planeet ‘klotst’, gaat deze een wisselwerking aan met de vaste grond, waardoor de planeet wisselend sneller en langzamer ronddraait. Dit gebeurt trouwens ook op aarde, maar dit leidt slechts tot een variatie van een luttele milliseconde per dag. Het effect is dus vele malen groter op Venus. En dat is ook niet zo gek, aangezien de luchtdruk op Venus negentig keer hoger is dan op aarde.

#2 Haaien zijn ouder dan de ringen van Saturnus
Haaien zwemmen zo’n 400 miljoen jaar in de oceanen op aarde, terwijl de ringen van Saturnus slechts vijftien tot 150 miljoen jaar oud zijn. De ringen rondom Saturnus zijn waarschijnlijk ontstaan toen een grote maan vernietigd is. Daarom bestaan de ringen van Saturnus uit ontelbaar veel kleine gas- en stofdeeltjes. De ringen zijn overigens ook niet zo ‘zwaar’ als we denken. Alle gas- en stofdeeltjes bij elkaar vormen veertig procent van de massa van het kleine maantje Mimas van Saturnus. Deze maan heeft een diameter van 397 kilometer.

#3 Het grootste schaalmodel van ons zonnestelsel vind je in Zweden
Het zonnestelsel is veel leger dan je denkt. Bezoek de Pixelspace van Josh Worth maar eens. In dit digitale schaalmodel is de maan van de aarde precies één pixel groot. Vervolgens kun je horizontaal scrollen om te zien hoe groot de afstanden zijn tussen de verschillende planeten. Of reis naar Zweden, waar je ‘s werelds grootste schaalmodel van het zonnestelsel kunt zien. De schaal is 1 op 20 miljoen. De zon is het grootste object en dat is de Avicii Arena in Stockholm: met een diameter van 110 meter het grootste bolvormige gebouw ter wereld.

De Globe (Avicii Arena) is de zon in het Zweedse schaalmodel van het zonnestelsel.

Neptunus (diameter 2,5 meter) is te vinden bij de rivier Söderhamnsån in Söderhamn op een afstand van 229 kilometer van de Globe.

De dwergplaneet Sedna is 912 km verwijderd van de Globe (de zon) en is te vinden in het stadje Luleå.

#4 Alle planeten passen precies tussen de aarde en de maan
Wist je dat alle planeten in ons zonnestelsel precies tussen de aarde en de maan passen? De gemiddelde afstand van de aarde naar de maan is ongeveer 385.000 kilometer. Jupiter heeft een diameter van 139.820 kilometer, Saturnus 120.000 kilometer, Uranus 50.700 kilometer, Neptunus 49.200 kilometer, Venus 12.104 kilometer, Mars 6.779 kilometer en tenslotte Mercurius 4.880 kilometer. Bij elkaar is dat iets meer dan 383.000 kilometer. Je houdt dus nog een klein beetje ruimte over, maar het past net. Benieuwd hoe dat eruit zou zien vanaf het aardoppervlak? Nogal indrukwekkend! Bekijk de video hieronder maar eens.

#5 Venus en Uranus draaien als enige planeten met de klok mee
Venus en Uranus draaien met de klok mee om hun as, in plaats van tegen de klok in, zoals alle andere planeten. Stel, je zou op Venus naar een zonsopgang kijken – wat overigens onmogelijk is door het dikke wolkendek – dan gaat de zon in het westen op. Wetenschappers denken dat Venus en Uranus tijdens het ontstaan van het zonnestelsel door een groot object of meerdere kleine objecten zijn geraakt, waardoor de planeten de andere kant op zijn gaan draaien. Dit zou verklaren waarom de manen rondom Uranus wel gewoon tegen de klok in draaien. Een andere verklaring is dat Venus ooit tegen de klok draaide, toen later bijna tot stilstand kwam en daarna de andere kant op draaide. Daarom draait Venus vandaag de dag nog steeds heel langzaam om haar as en duurt een dag op Venus 225 aardse dagen. Als deze theorie klopt, dan komt dit waarschijnlijk doordat de zon aan de dichte atmosfeer aan de warme (dagkant) van Venus trekt en zo atmosferische getijden creëert die de rotatierichting en -snelheid beïnvloeden.

#6 Op Titan zijn er meren van methaan en ethaan
De maan Titan van Saturnus heeft meren, rivieren en zelfs regenbuien. Daarmee heeft deze maan wel iets weg van de aarde… toch? Niet helemaal. In plaats van water regent het vloeibaar methaan en ethaan op Titan. Omdat de temperatuur op Titan laag is – de maan bevindt zich op flinke afstand van de zon – kan methaan en ethaan in principe in vloeibare vorm op het oppervlak van de maan voorkomen.

De meren op Titan, gefotografeerd door de Cassini-ruimtesonde.

#7 Een dag op aarde duurt steeds langer
De aarde draait steeds langzamer om haar as. Toen de aarde nog geen maan had, waren de dagen op onze planeet slechts twee tot drie uur lang. 600 miljoen jaar geleden duurde een dag op aarde 21 uur, honderd miljoen jaar geleden ongeveer 23 uur en inmiddels dus 24 uur. Dit komt doordat de zwaartekracht van de maan de aarde afremt. De maan en de aarde trekken aan elkaar. En omdat de aarde sneller om de as draait (in 24 uur) dan de maan om de aarde draait (27,3 dagen) schiet dat getrek vanuit het oogpunt van de aarde gezien niet erg op. Vergelijk het met een hardloper die een flinke schildpad met zich mee probeert te trekken. De schildpad kan niet zo hard en zal de hardloper ophouden. Zo houdt ook de maan de aarde op en zorgt ervoor dat onze planeet langzamer gaat draaien. Dat gaat heel geleidelijk. Zo geleidelijk dat we daar in de praktijk niets van zullen merken. Over zo’n honderd jaar is een dag op aarde ongeveer twee milliseconden langer dan nu het geval is. Het afremmen stopt wanneer de lengte van één dag op aarde gelijk is aan één maand op de maan.

#8 Grootste maan is groter dan kleinste planeet
De grootste maan in ons zonnestelsel is Ganymedes (Jupiter). Wist je dat Ganymedes groter is dan de kleinste planeet Mercurius? Ganymedes heeft een diameter van 5.262 kilometer. Mercurius is iets kleiner met een diameter van 4.880 kilometer.

Mercurius is kleiner dan de twee grootse manen (Ganymedes en Titan), maar groter dan onze eigen maan.

#9 De zon is 4,6 triljoen keer zwaarder dan alle mensen bij elkaar
De zon bevat 99,86% van de massa van het volledige zonnestelsel. De buitenste waterstoflagen van de zon zijn goed voor 70 procent van de totale massa van het zonnestelsel, gevolgd door helium (28 procent). Onze planeet bevat 0,0003% van de massa van het volledige zonnestelsel. De 7,7 miljard mensen op aarde vormen slechts 0,00000000005% van de totale massa van onze planeet. De Britse wetenschapper Peter Makin beweert dat de aarde 14.000 miljard keer zwaarder is dan alle mensen bij elkaar. De zon is 332.946 keer zwaarder dan de aarde, dus de zon is ruwweg 4,6 triljoen (4.661.244.000.000.000.000) keer zwaarder dan alle mensen bij elkaar.

#10 Als de zon stopt met schijnen, merken wij daar (even) niets van
Het duurt ongeveer een seconde voordat het licht van de maan je netvlies raakt. Licht reist namelijk met een snelheid van 300.000 kilometer per seconde. De afstand van de zon naar de aarde is acht lichtminuten. Stel, de zon zou nu stoppen met schijnen, dan zouden wij dat pas acht minuten later merken.

#11 Grand Canyon is een lachertje in vergelijking met deze kloof op Charon
Grand Canyon? Dat is niets vergeleken met de kloof op de maan Charon van Pluto. Het complete klovensysteem op Charon is meer dan 1600 kilometer(!) lang en op sommige plekken twee keer zo diep als de Grand Canyon op aarde. Dit litteken is duidelijk te zien vanuit de ruimte. Ruimtesonde New Horizons heeft een prachtige foto gemaakt van Charon waarop het enorme klovensysteem van de maan goed zichtbaar is.

#12 De ringen van Saturnus hebben herders
Saturnus heeft herdermanen. De bekendste herdermanen zijn Pan, Daphnis, Prometheus en Pandora. Deze herders houden met hun zwaartekracht de stofdeeltjes in de ringen van Saturnus bij elkaar. Daarnaast zorgen zij voor de scheidingen van de ringen. Ze maken namelijk hun eigen baan stofvrij.

Het maantje Daphnis is te vinden in de Keeler Gap in de A-ring. De zwaartekracht van Daphnis veroorzaakt lichte rimpelingen in de ringen.

Een beter beeld van de rimpelingen die Daphnis veroorzaakt.

#13 Er draait een vliegende schotel om Saturnus
Gekkigheid natuurlijk, maar de herdermaan Pan heeft wel iets weg van een vliegende schotel. Deze maan heeft deze bijzondere vorm gekregen door botsingen met andere objecten.

#14 De ringen van Saturnus verdwijnen over honderd miljoen jaar
De ringen van Saturnus zullen de komende miljoenen jaren langzaam verdwijnen. De zwaartekracht van Saturnus trekt aan de gas- en stofdeeltjes. Ieder half uur verdwijnt er een olympisch zwembad gevuld met gas- en stofdeeltjes. Dit betekent dat de ringen nog ongeveer honderd miljoen jaar te zien zijn. “We hebben geluk dat we Saturnus met ringen zien, want de ringen zijn maar tijdelijk zichtbaar”, zegt wetenschapper James O’Donoghue van NASA. Daar heeft hij een punt, want Saturnus is al ruim vier miljard jaar oud en heeft dus 98% van haar leven geen ringen gehad.

#15 De aarde heeft meer dan één maan
Onze aarde heeft op elk moment minimaal twee manen. Asteroïden komen regelmatig in de buurt van de aarde. En soms komen ze zo dichtbij dat de zwaartekracht van de aarde ze vasthoudt. Ze gaan daarop als een natuurlijke satelliet (of maan) in een baan rondom de aarde draaien. Zo cirkelt het piepkleine maantje 2020 CD3 al vanaf 2017 om de aarde. Gelukkig is de kans dat deze tijdelijke manen inslaan redelijk klein. Slechts 0,1 procent van alle meteorieten die op aarde zijn ingeslagen bevonden zich tijdelijk in een baan rondom de aarde.

#16 Stukjes Mars zijn op aarde gevallen
Wist je dat er stukjes Mars op aarde zijn gevallen? Dankzij deze Marsmeteorieten kunnen wetenschappers veel leren over de rode planeet. Maar hoe komen die stukjes Mars eigenlijk hier terecht? Door meteorietinslagen op Mars! Als een grote meteoriet inslaat op Mars, dan worden er brokstukken de ruimte in geslingerd. Deze brokstukken vallen niet altijd terug op de planeet, maar reizen door het zonnestelsel en komen soms in botsing met andere planeten, zoals de aarde. Ieder decennium vallen er honderden maan- en Marsmeteorieten op aarde. De bekendste Marsmeteoriet is ALH84001. Deze meteoriet is in 1984 gevonden op Antarctica. De meteoriet werd wereldberoemd, omdat NASA dacht dat deze meteoriet het bewijs zou zijn voor leven buiten de aarde. Dit bleek later niet te kloppen.

Marsmeteoriet ALH84001 weegt 1,9 kilo.

#17 De Grote Rode Vlek op Jupiter is één van de oudste stormen in ons zonnestelsel
Deze storm op Jupiter is al voor het eerst gezien in 1665. Vervolgwaarnemingen in de jaren zeventig – door Voyager 1 en Voyager 2 – onthulden dat het om een orkaan-achtig wervelfenomeen (een vortex) gaat dat door een roodkleurig wolkendek aan het zicht onttrokken wordt. De afgelopen decennia kromp de Grote Rode Vlek van 25.000 kilometer naar 16.500 kilometer, maar het ziet er gelukkig niet naar uit dat de eeuwenoude storm op Jupiter gaat verdwijnen.

#18 Farfarout is het meest afgelegen bekende object in het zonnestelsel
Het Kuipergordelobject Farfarout is 400 kilometer groot en doet duizend jaar over een rondje om de zon. De gemiddelde afstand van Farfarout tot de zon is zo’n 132 AU, oftewel 132 keer de afstand van de aarde naar de zon. Dat komt neer op twintig miljard kilometer. Hiermee is het hemellichaam dus zo’n vier keer verder van de zon verwijderd dan Pluto. Daarnaast volgt Farfarout een zeer langgerekte baan. Op het verste punt is het object grofweg 175 AU van de zon verwijderd, op het dichtstbijzijnde punt bedraagt die afstand ‘slechts’ 27 AU. En dat is interessant, want het betekent dat Farfarout soms dichter bij de zon in de buurt komt dan planeet Neptunus.

De afstanden van de bekende hemellichamen in ons zonnestelsel tot de zon. Zoals je ziet staat Farfarout op een immense afstand van onze moederster.

#19 Het zonnestelsel racet om het centrum van de Melkweg
De planeten draaien om de zon, maar wist je dat ons zonnestelsel om het centrum van de Melkweg draait met een snelheid van 200 kilometer per seconde? We racen door de Melkweg, waarbij één rondje ongeveer 225 miljoen jaar duurt. Sommige sterren om ons heen reizen sneller of langzamer en dit betekent dat de sterrenhemel continu verandert. Ieder sterrenbeeld ziet er over miljoenen jaren weer anders uit.

Aangezien we niet iedere 225 miljoen jaar een feestje kunnen geven, besloot softwareontwikkelaar David Sneider Galactic Tick Day in het leven te roepen. Op Galactic Tick Day vieren we niet het feit dat we een volledig rondje om de Melkweg afleggen, maar dat we één centi-arcseconde verder zijn. Iedere 633,7 dagen – of 1,7361 jaar – schuift de aarde één centi-arcseconde op. Eén centi-arcseconde is één 129.600.000ste deel van een volledige reis om het centrum van de Melkweg, oftewel 0,0000077 procent. De eerste Galactic Tick Day was op 2 oktober 1608, toen de Nederlandse brillenmaker Hans Lippershey het patent van de eerste telescoop aanvroeg. Op 15 december 2021 vieren we de 238ste Galactic Tick Day.

War games: Army's new night vision goggles look like they are straight out of Halo video games

• The US Army is using advanced night vision goggles on the battlefield

• Footage of the device in action shows human figures outlined in glowing light

• This allows users see enemies in the dead of night, regardless of weather

• The footage was shared to Twitter with some users comparing it to Halo

• In the video game, figures are also outlined in a glowing light 

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The US Army has high-powered night vision goggles that provide war fighters with the ability to pick out enemies in the dead of night, regardless of weather conditions.

The military group’s Lancer Brigade shared footage of the new Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars in action, which shows glowing figures that some liken to those in the popular ‘Halo’ video game.

The system includes a new, high-resolution display and an embedded soldier wireless personal area network, rapid target acquisition and augmented reality algorithms to interface with the Army’s Nett Warrior.

Using the goggles, soldiers can keep their eyes on their target without looking down to read maps or check radios, as all information is shown on the display.

More than 4,800 of the combat-ready devices are now in the hands of the US Army.

The US Army has high-powered night vision goggles that provide war fighters with the ability to pick out enemies in the dead of night, regardless of weather conditions

The Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-Binoculars (ENVG-B) was developed by L3Harris Technologies, a global aerospace and defense technology innovator, specifically to be used on the battlefield.

Lynn Bollengier, President, Integrated Vision Solutions, L3Harris, said: ‘The ENVG-B is the most advanced night vision goggle ever developed for and fielded by the US Army, enabling a soldier to see and maneuver in zero and low-light situations.

‘We have delivered more than 4,500 combat-ready systems to the US Army, which meet today’s urgent operational needs of our close combat forces.’

In the tweet shared by Lancer Brigade it says: ‘You have never seen night vision like this.’

The clip posted shows the body of soldiers outlined in a glowing light as they move through the forest, fire guns and rest during missions.

However, one Twitter user commented with ‘I have, actually’ to the statement and included an image from the popular video game Halo.

The video game is a military science fiction franchise that is focused around soldiers going to war with aliens.

And the images seen through the ENVG-B looks similar to those with Halo 3’s Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance (VISR).

It weighs just 2.5 pounds and attaches to the front of a helmet, allowing users to easily switch between monocular and binocular visioning

VISR provides navigational data and highlights various points of interest in the operational area, along with outlining figures in glowing light.

However, ENVG-B is the real deal that provides soldiers with actionable intelligence through the fusion of Image Intensified (I2) white phosphor tubes and thermal imaging.

The advanced goggles also provide targeting and identification in all battlefield conditions as well as light levels including degraded visual environments such as smoke, fog and debris.

SpaceX’s 22nd Commercial Resupply Mission to Space Station Launches Water Bears, Squid, Solar Panels

The 22nd SpaceX cargo resupply mission carrying scientific research and technology demonstrations launches to the International Space Station from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida no earlier than June 3. Experiments aboard include studying how water bears tolerate space, whether microgravity affects symbiotic relationships, analyzing the formation of kidney stones, and more.

Download high-resolution photos and videos of the research mentioned in this article.

• Reporters who want to hear more from the researchers behind these studies, sign up now for the SpaceX CRS-22 science media telecon on May 26, 2021.

Highlights of the payloads on this resupply mission include:

Water bears take on space

Tardigrades, known as water bears due to their appearance under a microscope and common habitat in water, are tiny creatures that tolerate environments more extreme than most life forms can. That makes them a model organism for studying biological survival under extreme conditions on Earth and in space. In addition, researchers have sequenced the genome of the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris and developed methods for measuring how different environmental conditions affect tardigrade gene expression. Cell Science-04 characterizes the molecular biology of short-term and multigenerational survival of water bears, identifying the genes involved in adaptation and survival in high stress environments.

The results could advance understanding of the stress factors affecting humans in space and support development of countermeasures. “Spaceflight can be a really challenging environment for organisms, including humans, who have evolved to the conditions on Earth,” says principal investigator Thomas Boothby. “One of the things we are really keen to do is understand how tardigrades are surviving and reproducing in these environments and whether we can learn anything about the tricks that they are using and adapt them to safeguard astronauts.”

Symbiotic squid and microbes in microgravity

UMAMI examines the effects of spaceflight on the molecular and chemical interactions between beneficial microbes and their animal hosts. Microbes play a significant role in the normal development of animal tissues and in maintaining human health. “Animals, including humans, rely on our microbes to maintain a healthy digestive and immune system,” says UMAMI principal investigator Jamie Foster. “We do not fully understand how spaceflight alters these beneficial interactions. The UMAMI experiment uses a glow-in-the-dark bobtail squid to address these important issues in animal health.”

The bobtail squid, Euprymna scolopes, is an animal model that is used to study symbiotic relationships between two species. This investigation helps determine whether spaceflight alters the mutually beneficial relationship, which could support development of protective measures and mitigation to preserve astronaut health on long-duration space missions. The work also could lead to a better understanding of the complex interactions between animals and beneficial microbes, including new and novel pathways that microbes use to communicate with animal tissues. Such knowledge could help identify ways to protect and enhance these relationships for better human health and well-being on Earth as well.

On-the-spot ultrasound

Butterfly IQ Ultrasound demonstrates use of a portable ultrasound in conjunction with a mobile computing device in microgravity. The investigation collects crew feedback on ease of handling and quality of the ultrasound images, including image acquisition, display, and storage.

“This type of commercial off-the-shelf technology could provide important medical capabilities for future exploration missions beyond low-Earth orbit, where immediate ground support is not available,” says Kadambari Suri, integration manager for the Butterfly iQ Technology Demonstration “The investigation also examines how effective just-in-time instructions are for autonomous use of the device by the crew.” The technology also has potential applications for medical care in remote and isolated settings on Earth.

Developing better robot drivers

Pilote, an investigation from the ESA (European Space Agency) and the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), tests the effectiveness of remote operation of robotic arms and space vehicles using virtual reality and interfaces based on haptics, or simulated touch and motion. Testing of the ergonomics for controlling robotic arms and spacecraft must be performed in microgravity, because designs from Earth-based testing would use ergonomic principles that do not fit conditions experienced on a spacecraft in orbit. Pilote compares existing and new technologies, including those recently developed for teleoperation and others used to pilot the Canadarm2 and Soyuz spacecraft. The investigation also compares astronaut performance on the ground and during long-duration space missions. Results could help optimize the ergonomics of workstations on the space station and future space vehicles for missions to the Moon and Mars.

Protecting kidneys in space and on Earth

Some crew members exhibit an increased susceptibility to kidney stones during flight, which could affect their health and the success of the mission. The Kidney Cells-02 investigation uses a 3D kidney cell model (or tissue chip) to study the effects of microgravity on the formation of microcrystals that can lead to kidney stones. It is part of the Tissue Chips in Space initiative, a partnership between the ISS U.S. National Laboratory and the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) to analyze the effects of microgravity on human health and translate that to improvements on Earth. This investigation could reveal critical pathways of kidney disease development and progression, potentially leading to therapies to treat and prevent kidney stones for astronauts and for the 1 in 10 people on Earth who develop them.

“With this study, we hope to identify biomarkers or 'signatures' of cellular changes that occur during the formation of kidney stones,” says principal investigator Ed Kelly. “This may lead to novel therapeutic interventions. The rationale for conducting this study on the space station is that the microcrystals behave in a manner like what happens in our own kidneys, meaning they stay suspended in the kidney chip tubes and do not sink to the bottom, like they do in labs on Earth.”

Producing tougher cotton

Cotton plants that overexpress a certain gene show increased resistance to stressors, such as drought, and yield 20% more cotton fiber than plants without that characteristic under certain stress conditions. This stress resistance has been tentatively linked to having an enhanced root system that can tap into a larger volume of soil for water and nutrients. Targeting Improved Cotton Through On-orbit Cultivation (TICTOC) studies how root system structure affects plant resilience, water-use efficiency, and carbon sequestration during the critical phase of seedling establishment. Root growth patterns depend upon gravity, and TICTOC could help define which environmental factors and genes control root development in the absence of gravity. 

Cotton is used in a variety of consumer products from clothing to bed sheets and coffee filters, but the effects of its production include significant water use and intensive use of agricultural chemicals. “We are hoping to reveal features of root system formation that can be targeted by breeders and scientists to improve characteristics such as drought resistance or nutrient uptake, both key factors in the environmental impacts of modern agriculture,” says principal investigator Simon Gilroy. Improved understanding of cotton root systems and associated gene expression could enable development of more robust cotton plants and reduce water and pesticide use.

Bonus power

New solar panels are headed to station to increase the energy available for research and other onboard activities. The ISS Roll-out Solar Array (iROSA) is made up of compact panels, based on technology previously demonstrated on station, that roll open like unrolling a long rug. The Expedition 65 crew is scheduled to begin preparations for supplementing the station’s existing rigid panels this summer with the first pair of six new arrays.

Do UFOs exist? A report due in June may provide clues

In 2020, video from Naval Aviators encountering an unknown aircraft were released for the first time.

When John Brennan, the former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, appeared on Conversations with Tyler, a podcast with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, he also hinted more may be out there.

"They are quite eyebrow-raising," Brennan told host Tyler Cowen about the Naval videos.

"Life is defined in many different ways and I think it’s a bit presumptuous, if not arrogant, to believe there is no other form of life anywhere in the entire universe," Brennan added.

WHAT WILL BE IN IT?

What is unclear is what will be in the report.

There is also no firm date for the results to be published.

Members of Congress however are expecting a briefing as are military leaders and President Joe Biden.

“Extraterrestrial self-replicating probes monitor the Earth”, according to astrophysicist

Where are all the aliens? Why hasn’t another civilization contacted us yet? An astrophysicist has a revolutionary answer: “Because the aliens are already here”

Zaza Osmanov of the Free University of Tbilisi in Georgia has suggested in a new study that a race of extraterrestrial beings could be using “self-replicating probes” to explore our galaxy, including Earth.

Osmanov says that a civilization that has reached “Stage 2” on the Kardashev Scale , or what is the same, one level above us, would be fully capable of producing a fleet of “Von Neumann Probes”.

The Von Neumann probes would be “small self-replicating robots that would collect resources from planets and asteroids to build new copies of themselves.”

“All the results indicate that if a foreign object with extremely high values ​​of increased brightness is detected, it may be a good sign to place the object on the candidate list for the von Neumann extraterrestrial probes,” the Russian astrophysicist wrote.

“We consider the scenario in which type 2 civilization must” invade interstellar clouds via self-reproducing robots, “he continued. “And it has been shown that this process will inevitably lead to the consequences of observation.”

But when it comes to explaining why we haven’t seen this fleet of probes, Osmanov has a totally plausible new theory: “the probes are much smaller than the eye can see.”

“Or they are equipped with Stealth shields, invisible to the human eye and a military radar.” In fact, it is no coincidence that in Russia and other parts of the world, UFOs are recorded only thanks to infrared cameras.

The scientist says nanotechnology is the obvious choice for building a probe that moves, builds quickly, and adapts to a wide range of potential landing sites.

“We analyzed the efficiency of Von-Neumann probes at the microscale versus macro robots and found that the former could [reproduce] efficiently in interstellar media.”

“While large-scale automata can only replicate on rocky planets, this requires more maneuvering ..”

“Even if there were billions of these little machines infiltrating the solar system, we would not be able to detect them with our current instrumentation.”

Each would be about one nanometer in size, which is only one billionth of a meter.

But while the micro-machines are nearly invisible due to their size, Osmanov says there may still be a way to detect them.

If by hypothesis these probes are powered by light, they could emit small amounts of light as they travel through space.

If you observe using infrared telescopes, these streams of light would appear as the “trails” left by comets.

According to a new study, Jupiter’s moon Europa may have active volcanoes located deep underwater. There is a lot of evidence that Europa has a gigantic ocean that’s located between its rocky interior and its icy crust. The new study looked closely at the possibility of there being enough heat inside of the moon to melt some of the rocky layer, ultimately helping volcanoes on the floor of the ocean to become active.

The amount of internal heat within the moon depends strongly on how much of Jupiter’s gravitational pull has on Europa. When the moon orbits around the planet, its interior flexes which creates energy and leaks out as heat. A larger amount of heat is created the more the moon’s interior is flexed.

If there is volcanic activity on Europa, they would probably be located close to the moon’s poles where there would be more heat. What’s even more interesting is that if there were active volcanoes there could be life. For example, when seawater reacts with hot magma on Earth, there is a chemical energy reaction that supports life located deep down in our oceans.

Europa

Marie Běhounková from Charles University in the Czech Republic described their study by stating, “Our findings provide additional evidence that Europa’s subsurface ocean may be an environment suitable for the emergence of life.” “Europa is one of the rare planetary bodies that might have maintained volcanic activity over billions of years, and possibly the only one beyond Earth that has large water reservoirs and a long-lived source of energy.”

Jupiter’s moon Io has hundreds of active volcanoes that spew lava, volcanic gas, and dust as high up as 250 miles (400 kilometers). This is caused by the gravitational pull from Jupiter and that’s why the researchers are wondering if the same can happen on Europa. The major difference is that Io orbits the Gas Giant much closer than Europa does.

Scientists will hopefully be able to solve the mystery in the near future when NASA’s Europa Clipper is launched in 2024. The spacecraft will conduct close flybys of the moon and will gather important data that may possibly reveal whether or not Europa has active underwater volcanoes and if life could survive there.

Europa Clipper

Europa Clipper Project Scientist Robert Pappalardo from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California reiterated this by noting, “The prospect for a hot, rocky interior and volcanoes on Europa’s seafloor increases the chance that Europa’s ocean could be a habitable environment.” “We may be able to test this with Europa Clipper’s planned gravity and compositional measurements, which is an exciting prospect.”

Scientists’ findings suggest that the interior of Jupiter’s moon Europa may consist of an iron core, surrounded by a rocky mantle in direct contact with an ocean under the icy crust. New research models how internal heat may fuel volcanoes on the seafloor.

Many custody battles are bitter and eventually the parents end up in court. The battle over custody of the files detailing US government investigations of UFOs is about to enter the court phase. One parent is Luis Elizondo, the former Department of Defense employee who claims to have headed a secret UFO investigation group inside the department known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) and knows more about the files than anyone else. The other parent is the Pentagon, which is upset at how Elizondo has treated the files – i.e., talking about them in public, demanding their release on top media platforms — and wants him to cease his quest for custody. Like any custody battle, both sides have made disparaging comments about the other and tried to undermine them. It’s tough to fight City Hall … even tougher to fight the federal government, but Elizondo comes dressed for battle, even if some of his backups no longer have his back. Who will win this custody battle? Who will ultimately win this custody war?

“What he is saying is there are certain individuals in the Defense Department who in fact were attacking him and lying about him publicly, using the color of authority of their offices to disparage him and discredit him and were interfering in his ability to seek and obtain gainful employment out in the world. And also threatening his security clearance.”

Luis Elizondo

According to POLITICO, Daniel Sheehan, Elizondo’s attorney, filed a 64-pafe complaint with the Pentagon’s inspector general claiming a coordinated campaign to discredit him for speaking out — including accusing a top official of threatening to tell people he was “crazy.” How coordinated is it? More coordinated that effort the Defense Department took to bring all of the UFO reports into one investigative location, which is one of the complaints Elizondo gave for leaving the job. And that, according to The Black Vault, leads to one of the disparaging remarks the Pentagon has brought up.

“They (the Pentagon) told The Intercept in June of 2019 that Elizondo had no “responsibilities” on the AATIP (this would later be amended to “no assigned responsibilities”). Armed only with official statements, but offering no supporting documentation, it appeared that the Pentagon had a concerted effort to negate everything that Elizondo had brought forward to the public.”

That sounds like bureaucratic-speak for “He never worked here.” It gets worse. The Black Vault says it requested specific emails concerning Elizondo’s employment and responsibilities on UFO investigations and got this response:

“After thorough searches of the electronic records and files of OUSD (I&S), no records of the kind you described [Elizondo e-mails containing the word “unidentified”] could be identified. Please note that e-mails of former Department of Defense (DoD) employees are not retained unless they are considered historical records and retained by the National Records Center. There are currently no existing e-mail accounts for Mr. Elizondo. We believe that search methods were appropriate and could reasonably be expected to produce the requested records if they existed.”

The Black Vault says the Pentagon later confirmed the emails and backups were destroyed. The Black Vault obtained a letter from former US Senator Harry Reid, a longtime proponent of full disclosure and the government leader responsible for setting up the secret AATIP program, stating the Elizondo did indeed head it, but the Pentagon stuck to its claims that he had no “assigned” responsibilities. It later added that he “has no position in the UAPTF, and the UAPTF has not involved him in its ongoing work.” UAPTF is the current, non-secret version of AATIP.

It gets worse. While Harry Reid has Elizondo’s back, it appears To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science – which Elizondo was a key member of as a prime UFO data provider – doesn’t. An annual report for the SEC filed by the organization states that, contrary to Elizondo’s claim that he left the group on his own, TTSA said this in the “Personnel changes” section:

“In December 2020, Luis Elizondo, the Company’s Director of Government programs & Services, was laid off with severance.”

POLITCO says the complaint filed with the Pentagon’s IG states that Elizondo emails and documents to support his case that there’s “a coordinated effort to obfuscate the truth from the American people” while the Pentagon separately attacks his reputation as a former intelligence officer there and causes “great personal and professional challenges to me and my family.”

Both the POLITICO and The Black Vault articles (read them here and here) contain much more background information on this UFO files custody battle. Who will win? Who deserves to win? Luis Elizondo has been a tireless fighter for disclosure. His battles and experiences would make a great movie plot. Unfortunately, that may be the only place where this story has a happy ending.

Antarctica Mysterious "Crown-like" Structure in the Lost Tundra Discovered

The “crown” looks like a half buried Stargate. The seals must have a food source to be there. Looks like we have been there more than they tell us. 93′ apart is not a coincidence! Thanks for another interesting video. Pam Ben

That “CROWN” looks like the Statue of Liberty or something like, with an arm on each side, one could possibly have a sword in a hand and it’s under the snow. It will be interesting to see Antarctica without snow. L5thElement

That’s really interesting about the pillars being 93 ft part. In a Occult 93 is Ararita. Love. Life. Freedom. Great information today. AA

Shelf Clouds: One of Nature's Most Alarming and Awesome Phenomena

Shelf clouds are a stunning feature of many spring and summertime thunderstorms that often pack more bark than bite. Other than for their incredible beauty, shelf clouds are usually newsworthy because they tend to freak people out.

A shelf cloud is a low-hanging, well-defined, wedge-shaped formation that occurs along the leading edge of a gust front in a thunderstorm. Shelf clouds most often form just ahead of intense lines of thunderstorms.

This is one of the best examples of this type of cloud

Transparent UFO Over Taichung Xitun, Taiwan, May 28, 2021, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: May 28, 2021
Location of sighting: Taichung Xitun, Taiwan 

 

Guys this was just sent to me tonight. A person was sitting on top of the roof having a drink with a friend, when they noticed something odd in the sky. He described the object being boat shaped, semi transparent and having an engine on its front. The video is raw footage directly from his phone and really is amazing. The UFO appears to be flying low and scanning the area. Now I am wondering if this is the USAF X-47B drone? Its a similar shape and could appear transparent when at the right lighting and angle. The US does have such drones on US aircraft carriers, but I am sure if it were the X-47B, its sharp edges would have been caught with much more detail than this. Yes US aircraft drones often patrol Taiwan to keep us safe from China, but this...is like no aircraft I have ever seen before. It also has a dark diamond cockpit area which was visible in several of the screenshots I took. It could be aliens are interested in how Taiwanese are dealing with this recent outbreak of covid. Our covid just got serious last week and began spreading the UK variant across the country, even though we were safe for almost a year and half. I'm sure aliens would be interested in how Taiwanese are dealing with it, and why even now, Taiwanese stay inside, only going out for food, hospital and work. We are on a level 3 alert, level 4 alert is total lockdown, which may happen in a few days. Yeah...aliens want to see for themselves what they only hear about in the news. How Taiwan is facing the the threat head on, and the public as a whole unite to follow the mask rules, stay inside rules, no school or gathering rules. It seems many countries have had difficulty imposing these rules, but here...we are good natured and wish to help end the spreading of covid. So...I believe aliens are...doing research.

The eyewitness stated: 

"There are really flying saucers! ! ! ! interesting. May 28 23:4.  I just moved a chair on the top floor of my house. I want to talk, drink something, and take a look at the night scene by the way. After a while, I saw something flying on the other side of the cloud, slightly transparent, it was a flying boat! Not an airplane! It's a flying boat. It's very similar to what appeared in the movie! Bigger than an airplane! He is invisible, the feeling is like the feeling of projecting the image behind the light with the engine in front! Directly upload the video, you can save it and zoom in to watch it!" (translated from Chinese).

BELOW IS THE X-47B TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST. It has similarities, yet, we don't see the sharp edges in the video.

Recently, two insiders who had previously stated that some UFOs are reverse engineered spacecraft developed by major US aerospace corporations were silenced in different ways. 

This Exopolitics Today Podcast examines the April 6 retraction by former Air Force Electronics Specialist, Mike Turber, of his testimony asserting the 2004 Tic Tac Incident involved classified Air Force craft being tested against the Navy's USS Nimitz battle group. 

One week later on April 13, Mark McCandlish, widely known for his 2001 UFO Disclosure Project testimony about three Alien Reproduction Vehicles seen in 1988 at Edwards Air Force Base was found dead from a shot gun blast to the head. 

The podcast examines these two separate incidents in light of the coming June 2021 Intelligence Community UAP report to the US Senate Intelligence Committee, and whether there's a connection given they each threatened the emerging UFOs are a national security threat narrative that is being promoted by the mainstream media.

With so much happening in the UFO field these days, heads are truly spinning. And not simply from people who have long followed the subject of UFOs, but suddenly many people who had previously never had much interest in it. 

Many people are asking, why now? Some people have concluded that the efforts of the group TTSA and people like Luis Elizondo and Christopher Mellon are part of an intelligence community psychological operation of deception or even a false flag.

  

 { http://ufosightingshotspot.blogspot.com/}

UFOs have gone mainstream! There was a report on "60 Minutes" where it was stated that the US government has verified that UFOs are real. 

On Fox News, Tucker Carlson has had a series of guests discussing the validity of the phenomenon. 

The Pentagon stated that we have in our possession off-world vehicles not made on the earth. 

In short, UFOs are real, burgeoning and NOT going away.

By ARIEL ZILBER and ADAM SCHRADER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Video showing an unidentified flying object splashing down into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego two years ago appears to have been corroborated by military radar which shows as many as 14 UFOs swarming a Navy combat ship while traveling at speeds of more than 160mph.

Earlier this month, investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell released footage showing what appeared to be a spherical object floating in the air above the ocean as it was observed by US Navy sailors aboard the USS Omaha in July 2019.

Corbell on Thursday released another video of the same incident, only this clip shows military radar being observed by sailors on the Omaha. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to the Department of Defense seeking comment on Corbell's claims. 

Video showing an unidentified flying object splashing down into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego two years ago has now been corroborated by military radar which shows a ship, the USS Omaha, being swarmed by aerial phenomena in July 2019. The image above shows nine unexplained objects - some of which were traveling at speeds in excess of 160mph

Several of the UFOs disappeared from radar. At one point, there were as many as 14 UFOs observed on the radar

The video of the radar corroborates video filmed by sailors aboard the USS Omaha showing a strange spherical object splash down into the Pacific Ocean

The image above is a February 2018 file photo of the littoral combat ship the USS Omaha. Investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell says the ship is one of nine US warships that were swarmed by unidentified flying objects during the same period in July 2019

According to the web site Mystery Wire, the radar seen in the video clip showed as many as 14 objects as they circled the warship.

Sailors aboard the Omaha observed the objects and measured their speed using two different radar systems.

One of the objects flew as fast as 138 knots - which is more than 158 miles an hour.

‘Holy s***. They’re going fast,’ one of the sailors is heard in the video saying.

He then adds: ‘Oh, it’s turning around.’

Corbell said he obtained the video from anonymous sources.

The military does not know where these flying objects came from or disappeared to.

Corbell told Mystery Wire that the Omaha was one of nine American warships that were warmed by UFOs during that same period in July 2019.

He said that the video of the radar is ‘corroborative, electro optic data the likes of which the world has never seen before.’

The video ‘shows and supports the idea that there were a multitude of unknowns warming our warships,’ according to Corbell.

Corbell said that the footage of the radar was obtained from an individual who works inside the Combat Information Center.

It was filmed by ‘a very special visual intelligence crews that came in’ and recorded the radar screens.

At one point, the radar showed as many as 14 unidentified objects, but Corbell declined to provide that footage.

He said that the release of the radar video was to debunk speculation that the initial footage showing the apparent flying saucer was faked or could be explained as a ‘balloon dropping into the water.’

'It supports the hypothesis that these are not just a balloon dropping into the water or it’s not something that is easily explained,' Corbell said. 

'These are true unidentified in mass numbers … where you have radar data that goes with FLIR [forward looking infrared] data.' 

In the initial video revealed earlier this month, US Naval personnel are seen having a close encounter with a UFO - this time a spherical object that makes a controlled descent into the ocean. 

Two unidentified crew members could be heard exclaiming: 'Wow, it splashed,' after the ball made a controlled flight over the ocean, then splashed into the sea and disappeared underwater.

Still images from a newly released video show a spherical object diving into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell says the video shows 'FLIR [forward looking infrared] data' that is complimented by the radar footage

A map shows the region where fighter jets encountered the UFOs off the coast of Virginia

They filmed the object making a controlled flight above the water for an extended period of time before it finally entered the ocean. Corbell shared the footage with Mystery Wire on May 14.

It was released the same day that a US Navy pilot told of how he and his colleagues saw UFOs off the Virginia coast so regularly they grew used to the ultra-capable aircrafts' presence. 

Former Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves, who regularly witnessed UFOs in restricted airspace, called them a threat to national security

Former Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves - who refers to UFOs as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) - called them a threat to national security in an interview with 60 Minutes that aired on May 16. 

He and his colleagues spotted the objects hundreds of times in protected air space between 2015 and 2017, and also recorded an encounter off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida, during the same time period. 

The 60 Minutes report came as the government is expected to release a report in June on UFO sightings after unclassified videos of them were leaked to The New York Times in 2017.

Sen. Marco Rubio called for the detailed analysis after he viewed classified briefings on UAP while he was the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee and asked the Director of National Intelligence for an unclassified report.  

Respected former government officials have conceded that the sightings are credible, and that the UFOs' origins remains unknown. 

John Ratcliffe, the former director of national intelligence, told Fox News that these are not just eyewitness accounts - they're videos and measurements taken after 'multiple sensors that are picking up these things.' 

'When we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have been seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery, that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate, that we don't have the technology for, or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom,' he said.

USS Omaha in 2019 in restricted waters off the coast of southern California (leaked May 2021)

The USS Omaha filmed a round object making a controlled flight above the water for an extended period of time before it finally entered the ocean. Investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell shared the footage on May 14 with Mystery Wire.

Still images from that video were first released in April as the Pentagon confirmed that a set of images and videos showing unidentified flying objects buzzing over Navy warships off the coast of California in 2019 'were taken' by branch personnel.

Staff could be heard exclaiming excitedly as the object made a controlled, gradual descent into the Pacific Ocean, before disappearing with a splash.

No explanation for the spherical object has been given...   

The USS Omaha filmed a round object making a controlled flight above the water for an extended period of time before it finally entered the ocean

One of the images appears to be a pyramid-shaped object while others were thought to be drones or balloons; however, the Navy has listed them as unknowns.

In a statement, a Pentagon spokesperson told Mystery Wire: 'I can confirm that the referenced photos and videos were taken by Navy personnel. The UAPTF has included these incidents in their ongoing examinations.'

The confirmation came a week after Admiral Michael Gilday, the chief of naval operations, admitted that he has no idea where the swarm of mysterious Tic Tac-shaped drones that menaced four US destroyers in July 2019 originated.

Gilday led an investigation into the incident in which a group of what some have called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) chased the destroyers for up to 100 nautical miles off the coast of California.

F/A-18E Super Hornets assigned to the Tomcatters of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 31 returned to their home base at Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana in Virginia Beach

Flight logs revealed as many as six mystery aircraft swarmed the warships close to a sensitive training area at the Channel Islands at speeds of up to 40mph and with a greater maneuverability than US military drones.

When asked directly if the Navy had confirmed the identity of the drones at a media event, Gilday responded: 'No, we have not.'

The Drive revealed in February that US Navy warships stationed off the coast of Los Angeles had encountered swarms of mysterious drones, which pursued them at high speed in low visibility. 

The outlet obtained ship logbooks and internal emails from the Navy under the Freedom of Information Act, and eyewitness descriptions from the staff on board, to establish the UAVs had a far greater aeronautical capability than any previously known drones.  

Former US Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves in a F/A-18 fighter off the Virginia coast between 2015 and 2017 

Graves' F/A-18 fighter squadron spotted the 'maneuverable' spherical objects flying in restricted airspace near Virginia Beach almost every day from 2015 to 2017, he said.

'I am worried, frankly. You know, if these were tactical jets from another country that were hanging out up there, it would be a massive issue,' Graves told 60 Minutes.

'But because it looks slightly different, we're not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We're happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.' 

He said pilots for the U.S. Navy saw UFOs off the coast of Virginia so frequently they got used to them despite them 'watching us' every day

Graves' F/A-18 fighter squadron spotted the 'maneuverable' objects flying in restricted airspace near Virginia Beach almost every day from 2015 to 2017

He said that pilots who have witnessed what the government calls 'unidentified aerial phenomena' have speculated that they might be anything from a secret U.S. technology to an enemy spy plane.

Graves also conceded the aircraft could be something else entirely.  

'This is a difficult one to explain. You have rotation, you have high altitudes. You have propulsion, right? I don't know. I don't know what it is, frankly,' Graves told 60 Minutes while viewing one of the unclassified videos.

'I would say, you know, the highest probability is it's a threat observation program.'

A color image shows one of the unidentified aerial phenomena. Their technical capabilities far exceed that of any known aircraft, sparking fears for US national security 

Pilots have speculated that they might be anything from a secret U.S. technology to an enemy spy plane

The outlet noted that Graves did not rule out the possibility they could be some sort of Russian or Chinese technology.

Luis Elizondo, a former official with the Defense Department, told 60 Minutes that the UAPs appear to have 'far superior' technology to anything the United States currently has in its known inventory.

'Imagine a technology that can do 600 to 700 G-forces, that can fly 13,000 miles an hour, that, that can evade radar and can fly through air and water and possibly space,' Elizondo said.

'And oh, by the way, has no obvious signs of propulsion, no wings, no control surfaces and yet still can defy the natural effects of Earth's gravity. That's precisely what we're seeing.'

 Pyramid shaped objects spotted by hovering above the USS Russell, July 2019 (footage leaked April 2021) 

Footage filmed around the same time as the spherical ball sighting - but released two months earlier - showed multiple pyramid-shaped objects hovering around 700 feet above the USS Russell Navy Destroyer. 

It is also believed to have been filmed off the southern California coast, although it is unclear why Mystery Wire leaked this sighting before the sphere.   

The April photos were leaked from a Pentagon investigation of UFOs by the UAP Task Force, which has been gathering evidence for a report for Congress that's due in June, according to Mystery Wire.

The image show unidentified objects flying above four US destroyers, including the USS Kidd Navy destroyer.

The outlet had also previously released video reportedly taken in July 2019 by naval officers using a night vision device, which showed pyramid shaped objects hovering 700 feet above a Navy destroyer

Mystery Wire says the triangular objects are part of the same incident as the spherical object diving into the sea

The video was taken in July 2019 by naval officers using a night vision device

US Navy pilot made visual contact with object on November 14, 2004 

At least six Super Hornet pilots made visual or instrument contact with the UFO on November 14, 2004.

The encounters, which are documented in numerous interviews with first-hand witnesses, remain a mystery, and the object's incredible speed and movements have led to speculation that it was extraterrestrial in origin.

The original FLIR video from the USS Nimitz encounters leaked online as early as 2007.

Witnesses say that clips of the video had been circulated widely on the Navy's intranet - used to communicate between ships in the carrier group - and an unknown sailor in the group likely first leaked it.

Navy Commander David Fravor and Lieutenant Commander Jim Slaight had been flying about 100 miles off the coast of San Diego (pictured) in each of their F/A-18F Super Hornets (pictured) when they encountered an unidentified flying object described as a 'Tic Tac'

The USS Nimitz, a US Navy aircraft carrier, was at the center of a bizarre UFO sighting saga in 2004.

The clip became one of the most-touted pieces of evidence in the UFO community when the Pentagon confirmed its authenticity in 2017.

In January, Chad Underwood, the former Navy aviator who shot the famous leaked video clip, broke his silence in an interview with New York Magazine.

He said the oblong, wingless 'Tic Tac' shaped object was spotted off the coast of Mexico over the Pacific.

He also revealed that for about two weeks, the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Princeton, part of Carrier Strike Group 11, had been tracking mysterious aircraft intermittently on an advanced AN/SPY-1B passive radar.

The radar contacts were so inexplicable that the system was even shut down and restarted to to check for bugs - but operators continued to track the unknown aircraft.

Then on November 14, Commander David Fravor says he was flying in an F/A-18F Super Hornet when he made visual contact with the object, which seemed to dive below the water, resurface, and speed out of sight when he tried to approach it.

As Fravor landed on the deck of the Nimitz, Underwood was just gearing up to take off on his own training run.

Fravor told Underwood about the bizarre encounter, and urged Underwood to keep his eyes open.

10 mind-boggling things you should know about quantum physics

Milky Way's galactic core overflows with colorful threads in new Chandra panorama (video, photos)

“We are very serious about reports of any aircraft entering our airspace, both identified and unidentified, and we are investigating each of them.”

During the same week White House press secretary Jen Psaki made that bold answer to a question about UFOs from a reporter at a daily press conference, the man responsible for acquiring and releasing many of the recent videos of UFO encounters with US Navy ships off the coast of California in 2019 had a ‘OK, what about this?’ moment by releasing yet another one – this time showing a radar image of a swarm of 14 unknown objects flying around the USS Omaha. In addition, he revealed more by other ships in the area over a three-day period. And yet, none of these nor any of the past videos show any sort of response by the US military. Is this what the press secretary calls “serious”?

USS Omaha

“It appears to be coordinated interaction. And this whole series was within this kind of, I’d say circumference of 100 miles and there were up to 50 to 100 contacts.”

Perhaps the White House should bring in Las Vegas investigative journalist George Knapp to answer these questions … or ask better ones. Knapp’s Mystery Wire website and podcast has been the go-to source for these videos – because it’s been the go-to place for documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell to release them. Corbell’s unnamed inside sources within the government have been supplying him with these unclassified but hard-to-obtain videos and photographs that he confirms came from classified meetings to discuss them – meeting which have been confirmed by the Pentagon. This latest release is the first to show such large numbers of UFOs around Navy ships at once. (See it here.)

“It supports the hypothesis that these are not just a balloon dropping into the water or it’s not something that is easily explained. These are true unidentified in mass numbers … where you have radar data that goes with FLIR data.”

FLIR data is video from Forward Looking InfraRed cameras on a jet, while the radar data Corbell discusses comes from the USS Omaha control room. George Knapp interviewed Jeremey Corbell on his podcast last night and, to this writer’s knowledge, it marked the first time Corbell has addressed the response – or lack of it – by the USS Omaha or any other ships encountering these UFOs. Here’s what he said (from a transcript of the interview):

“And in those cases, I can firmly say that there were anti-drone capabilities that were deployed and ineffective. However, for this one, this triangle of kinetic action, aggressive action, it there are three sides that and it wasn’t it wasn’t met. And that’s the problem, right? Like, you’re having all these incursions, you’re having all this stuff go on. But in order to kind of properly deal with this situation, you need to have a capability, opportunity and intent are the three sides to this. We didn’t know at that time their capabilities. We didn’t know the intent. And really, the opportunity was even vague because we didn’t know the capabilities. So because these three sides to the, you know, triangle of kinetic action were taken, there was no aggressive action on our end taken.”

What kind of anti-drone capabilities were deployed?

So, anti-drone capabilities were “deployed and ineffective.” “There was no aggressive action on our end taken” because the military did not know the UFOs’ capability or intent, and the ships and pilots had no opportunity to engage any further after anti-drone actions didn’t work. Corbell concludes by pointing out that the Pentagon has after-the-fact confirmed his releases before, and they could do it again with these – he can‘t imagine why they wouldn’t. Will they explain why anti-drone efforts didn’t work? That remains to be seen. Will any of this be in the up-coming Pentagon report on UFOs? Corbett doesn’t know. He reiterates that his is a “gumshoe” effort and his intent is to stimulate others to pursue more Freedom of Information releases because the pressure seems to be working.

As for the biggest question …

“Right now, these are unidentified, we don’t know what they are. Everybody tries to corner me … saying they’re aliens or somebody. I have no idea.”

Who does?

Kudos as always to George Knapp and Jeremy Corbett.

“Fastwalker” is a term used by NORAD and branches of armed forces to describe unidentified aerial phenomena moving and/or changing directions at high speed far beyond what current aerospace technology is capable of. 

These mysterious Fastwalkers have only been spotted in recent years and they flying through our atmosphere at such incredible speed that they are not visible to the naked eye. 

Now, on April 22, 2021 such a Fastwalker which looks like a shiny disk has been caught while traveling Northern direction approx. 4.5 miles south of route 40 on route 93 near hackberry Road, Kingman, Arizona.

It happened in the evening of May 14, 2021 when a luminous disk-like UFO was observed by David Félix while driving in his vehicle. 

The UFO was moving slowly, then flying over the fields near Saskatchewan in Canada in complete silence and close to the ground.  

David, after stopping on the side of the road, managed to film the mysterious luminous UFO with his iPhone. 

The Mexican researcher Carlos Clemente, who has analyzed this UFO landing, states that the UFO in Canada is very similar to a luminous disk (see image above) photographed by Russian soldiers in Ostankino, Russia in 1995.

Triangle formation was filmed over Brooklyn, New York on 25th May 2021.

This triangle formation was filmed over Brooklyn, New York on 25th May 2021.

Witness report: 

I walked out of the supermarket just after 11pm at night and stopped at the zebra crossing waiting to cross. To my right I noticed three orange lights in the sky in a triangle formation low in the sky, gliding silently north wards, coming from what appeared to be near the river in Williamsburg, towards Manhattan. I instantly pulled out my phone and shot the footage, being sure to keep my hands still and to zoom in. I am used to seeing planes and helicopters in the area, but this struck me as very unusual straight away and having a keen interest in this sort of thing, I knew I had to film it straight away. I believed I was watching three separate craft fly in formation at the time. They were emitting a steady soft orange glow. On further inspection on the footage I believe it to be a giant triangular shaped craft. It disappears behind the buildings as shown in the video. I then crossed the road and witnessed it more where I took a brief second video.

Another pedestrian was looking at it and exclaimed to me “What the hell IS that?” After the craft disappeared behind another building I ran to the end of the road to the intersection of Graham and Metropolitan Avenue and turned north to where I should have been able to see the craft, but it had disappeared out of sight, which struck me as unusual as it had only taken me ten seconds or so to run down the road to try and see it. All the time, I heard no noise from any planes or helicopters, but obviously there was traffic noise.

Forget the Nazca lines! Huge spiral covering 100,000 square metres found in India's Thar desert may be largest drawing EVER made, experts say

• A father-and-son team discovered evidence of lines by scouring Google Earth

• They were confirmed after a drone flight over the Thar desert near Boha village

• The authors say the largest line spirals inwards and is over seven miles long 

• This makes it the single largest geoglyph ever discovered, larger than any individual line or drawing at the site of the famous Nazca Lines in Peru

By RYAN MORRISON FOR MAILONLINE 

A huge spiral covering 100,000 square metres discovered in the Indian desert may be the largest drawing ever made, according to experts, who say it dwarfs the Nazca lines in South America.  

The spiral artwork is made up of a series of small geoglyphs covering an area of about a million square feet in the Thar desert in India, first spotted on Google Earth by Carlo and Yohann Oetheimer, a father and son research team from France. 

Nazca lines in Peru are a group of geoglyphs etched into a 380 sq mile area of desert sands dating back to at least 500 BCE, featuring figures of animals and plants. 

While the South American geoglyphs are more plentiful, with up to 300 characters, and cover a larger area, a line in India is significantly larger than any one Nazca line. 

The lines make up four distinct symbols, created by scraping sand and silt near the village of Boha, with the largest single symbol 2,374ft long and 650ft wide, made of a single seven and a half mile line spiralling inwards. 

Study authors, not affiliated with any institution, say the lines may be at least 150 years old, but can't say anything more specific, adding their meaning is lost to history and they need to visit to study determine any dating.

The study authors wrote in their paper: 'Three memorial stones positioned at key points, give evidence that planimetric knowledge has been used to create this elaborate design'

Huge spirals discovered in the Indian desert may be the largest drawing ever made, according to experts, who say they dwarf the Nazca lines in South America

WHAT ARE GEOGLYPHS? 

The duo searched through images on Google Earth showing the desert for unusual features.

In the images they found eight possible sites, eventually discounting seven of them as being natural features.

The pair took a drone to the region in 2016 and flew it over the site.

During the drone flight they found seven of eight predicted sites were actually just furrows dug for failed tree plantations.

They found that the eighth site, near the village of Boha, had four distinct symbols, made up of 20 inch wide lines of varying length and complexity. 

At the centre of the selection of geoglyphs is a symbol 2,374ft long and 650ft wide, made of a single seven and a half mile spiralling line. 

South-west of this mega-spiral is a second line that repeatedly bends back on itself to form a grid of parallel lines, the team explained. 

There are also a pair of smaller geoglyphs to the north and south-west, but they are both heavily eroded. 

Despite the work being carried out by independent, researchers, 'the report is convincing,' says Daniela Valenzuela from the University of Tarapaca in Chile. 

The Nazca lines in Peru cover a wider area than the Thar lines, but the individual figures and lines are smaller, with the longest labyrinth line 2.7 miles long.

The lines can't be seen from the ground, according to the researchers, with Valenzuela saying 'this may be significant'. 

Adding that it may imply that their significant came from the act of creation, not later viewing by future people. 

The study authors wrote in their paper: 'Three memorial stones positioned at key points, give evidence that planimetric knowledge has been used to create this elaborate design.' 

Planimetric elements in geography are features independent of elevation - roads, rivers, lakes and buildings.

The lines make up four distinct symbols, created by scraping sand and silt near the village of Boha, with the largest single symbol 2,374ft long and 650ft wide, made of a single seven and a half mile line spiralling inwards

Study authors, not affiliated with any institution, say the lines are at least 150 years old, but can't say anything more specific, adding their meaning is lost to history.

'These artefacts allow us to envisage hypothetical modalities of edification,' the authors wrote. 

'We collected indicators of antiquity suggesting that these lines may be at least 150 years old and possibly linked to the Hindu memorial stones surrounding them. 

'The lack of visibility from the ground raises the question of their function and meaning. So far, these geoglyphs, the largest discovered worldwide and for the first time in the Indian subcontinent, are also unique as regards their enigmatic signs.' 

In the case of the Nazca line geoglyphs, they were likely created by people removing the black topsoil to reveal light-coloured sand hidden underneath.

Geoglyphs span large land tracts located between the towns of Palpa and Nazca, and some depict animals, objects or compact shapes.

Often, the composition of a geoglyph cannot be fully realised at ground level. Only when one is high enough in the air can they discern the shapes.

For this reason the intricacies of the designs were not fully realised until aeroplanes were invented and the artwork was seen from the sky.

'We will need to go to India in the near future in order to complete our research and have a precise dating, in order to understand their function and meaning better. For now, the dating is hypothetical,' Carlo Oetheimer told MailOnline. 

The findings have been published in the journal Archaeological Research in Asia.

WHAT ARE PERU'S MYSTERIOUS 'NAZCA LINES'?

Geoglyphs span large land tracts located between the towns of Palpa and Nazca. Some geoglyphs depict animals, objects or compact shapes; others are only simplistic lines.

The Nazca people lived in the area from 200 to 700 CE. Some of the designs are believed to be created instead by the Topará and Paracas people.

Most of the lines are formed by a shallow trench with a depth of between four inches (10cm) and six inches (15cm), made by removing the reddish-brown iron oxide-coated pebbles that cover the surface of the Nazca desert and exposing the light-colored earth beneath.

This sublayer contains high amounts of lime which has hardened to form a protective layer that shields the lines from winds and prevents erosion.

Paul Kosok, from Long Island University, is credited as the first scholar to seriously study the Nazca Lines.

He discovered that the lines converged at the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.

Along with Maria Reiche, a German mathematician and archaeologist, Kosok proposed the figures were markers on the horizon to show where the sun and other celestial bodies rose.

A gigantic spiral geoglyph found in India’s Thar Desert is believed to be the largest on the entire planet and is much bigger than Peru’s famous Nazca Lines (one line in India is much larger than any of the Nazca Lines). The Nazca Lines cover an area that is wider than those in the Thar Desert, but the figures and lines are smaller in size.

It was researchers Carlo and Yohann Oetheimer who noticed the humungous geoglyph in India by searching the area with Google Earth images. In total, they found eight locations with possible geoglyphs but were able to debunk seven of them due to being furrows that were dug in the ground for planting trees. The eighth one, however, couldn’t be discounted so they decided to fly a drone over the site (which is close to the village of Boha) and confirmed the gigantic spiral geoglyph.

The spiral drawing is made up of several small geoglyphs. The four symbols contain lines measuring 20 inches wide with different lengths. Located in the center is the largest symbol that measures 2,374 feet in length and 650 feet in width that was made of one inward spiraling line that is 7.5 miles.

Located to the north and south-west are two smaller geoglyphs but they have sustained a lot of erosion over the years. Also to the south-west is a grid with parallel lines that was formed by another line that bends backwards numerous times. The Thar Desert geoglyph covers an area of nearly 100,000 square meters.

Since the geoglyph lines can’t be seen from the ground, Daniela Valenzuela, who is from the University of Tarapaca in Chile, weighed in on the discovery by stating, “this may be significant”.

The authors of the study wrote in part, “’Three memorial stones positioned at key points, give evidence that planimetric knowledge has been used to create this elaborate design.” Planimetric elements include rivers, lakes, roads, and buildings. “These artefacts allow us to envisage hypothetical modalities of edification.”

Peru’s Nazca Lines

While not much history is known about this giant geoglyph, what is known is that it was created at least 150 years ago. There may be a connection with the Hindu memorial stones that are located around them although that hasn’t been definitively proven yet. The study was published in the journal Archaeological Research in Asia where it can be read in full.

Something Beyond Imagination Just Fell From Our Sky! 2021

The bizarre footage of the long, black object plunging into the water was filmed at Jangkar Beach in East Java – with some people claiming it was a damaged UFO. The spooky object was swallowed by the waves shortly after crashing into the sea. Facebook user Kh Popeye Watermelon shared the clip and asked: “What is this anchor-like thing that fell from the sky?”
