As stated by the Russian Ministry of Defense, since the beginning of 2021, Window-M, the Russian optical-electronic surveillance complex, has experienced a significant increase in unidentified space activity in near-Earth space.
“Window-M, the Russian optical-electronic complex for the detection of space objects located in Tajikistan, in the Sanglok mountains (Pamir mountain system) and at an altitude of 2200 meters above sea level, has detected the movement of about 30,000 (unidentified) space objects for four months from the beginning of 2021 ”, – reported the Russian space defense department.
A year earlier (2020), “Window-M” detected more than 25 thousand space objects.
The Russian Defense Ministry has specified that “Window-M” is a special optoelectronic complex that allows the monitoring of space objects in orbit in the range of altitudes from 50 to 120 thousand kilometers from the earth’s surface. It is interesting to note that at the maximum distance from the earth’s surface, the “Window-M” complex is able to recognize an object whose dimensions do not exceed the size of a tennis ball.
“Window-M” was put into experimental combat service in 1999. A modernization was carried out in 2014 where it received the “Window-M” designation. Since 1999, the complex has made 12.5 million measurements of space objects, more than 7.5 thousand new space objects in high orbit have been discovered, and about 800 spacecraft have been checked in working orbits.
The surveillance complex includes modern optoelectronic stations for the detection and collection of information on space objects, television detection equipment and next generation computer structures.
In April 2021, an eyewitness managed to film in good quality a large UFO near the city of Mexico City. The mysterious object turned out to be close to the mythical flying machines of the “Gods” from ancient scriptures called “Vimanas”.
Archaeologists in Mexico have previously found many drawings and clay statues similar to UFOs. If a real Vimana was noticed in the sky over Mexico City, then it turns out that the ancient Gods returned?
The so-called vimanas could develop incredible speed, and on board could carry the powerful weapon of the ancient Gods. Some texts even describe the construction of the Vimana Gods’ aircraft and the pilot’s manual.
The word Viman consists of two words. “Vi” means the sky and “Man” means a person, when you put these two words together, you get a person in the sky.
It is believed that the local peoples of antiquity tried to portray aircraft in this way. On which once upon a time the “Gods” flew from distant stars…
A̳r̳e̳a̳ 51 is not the only base full of secrecy. Apparently, there are countless underwater bases scattered across different locations on our planet.
While many of us are familiar with A̳r̳e̳a̳ 51 and the Dulce Base, the truth is that there are more secret bases than you can ever imagine. Five years ago the CIA finally admitted the existence of A̳r̳e̳a̳ 51, but many people around the world already knew about the mystery and secrecy behind this base. A̳r̳e̳a̳ 51 is just one of many out there, but it is interesting to note that most of the secret bases are not built on land, but deep, hidden under the oceans.
Creating underwater bases is probably much more efficient than creating them on the surface, on land. For beginners, it is almost impossible to find a diving base, unless of course you know its location and have the equipment to get there.
As the Daily Express reports, while the enigmatic A̳r̳e̳a̳ 51 military installation has become the basis of several conspiracy theories (most of them related to U̳F̳O̳ technology and contacts with e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ species), it appears that the US Navy owns a facility with a reputation. somewhat similar to A̳r̳e̳a̳ 51. The base in question is known as the Atlantic Underwater Assessment and Testing Center, or AUTEC, and is located in the Bahamas.
A statement posted on the Marine Naval Systems Command website describes AUTEC’s purpose to provide “operational areas instrumented in a real-world environment to meet the requirements of research, development, testing and evaluation and evaluation of operational performance of war fighters readiness. in support of the entire maritime spectrum of warfare. ”
However, the British newspaper indicates that the “secret base”, that of the US Navy, began development in 1964 and apparently used for submarine vehicles and weapon testing to be tested for submarines. This has been linked by conspiracy theorists to “several strange reports of U̳F̳O̳ activity” allegedly occurring in its vicinity.
These reports include stories of a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s working alongside US Navy personnel at underwater facilities. There is also talk of time travel, probably fueled by the proximity of the infamous Bermuda Triangle which serves as a Dimensional Portal. There are rumors that within this undersea base, submarine aircraft built with U̳F̳O̳ technology and Stargate equipment for dimensional travel are being tested.
The Book of Enoch has gained great fame in recent years, and possibly for being a book that was banned from the so-called “Holy Scriptures.” Some scholars and other amateurs indicate that this book would possess prophecies, and one of them would deal with what is believed to be the Second Coming or the return of God; but it was not interpreted correctly … And they mention that it could be explained as an “a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ arrival”.
Why did the Church ban the Book of Enoch ? Does the book really describe cases of human abduction by a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s that occurred thousands of years ago? And is it true that it contains information that speaks of our e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ past and the key to the future of humanity?
The oldest Bible in the world
In Ethiopia, one of the temples houses the most valuable shrine of Christianity: the Garima Gospels . The two richly illustrated books date from the 6th century AD. C. This is perhaps the oldest and most complete Bible in the world and the Ethiopian Church is one of the earliest Christian churches.
It is curious that the Bible of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church differs from the Holy Scriptures accepted in other Christian denominations. This version of the Old Testament includes a cryptic text known as the Book of Enoch . The Ethiopian Church considers the Book of Enoch to be canonical, while other Churches do not.
Kidnapped by the “gods”
The author of the book is Enoch, Noah’s great-grandfather, the same one who built the ark before the Great Flood . It is believed that Enoch was immortal and God took him alive to heaven.
In his book, Enoch writes that when he was 12 years old, all the villagers heard a noise one night. Two angels descended from heaven and one of them said to Enoch: “Fear not, man, ” and they ascended to heaven in a chariot of fire.
Enoch saw something he couldn’t describe. Of course, he didn’t know what a spaceship was, so he wrote about flying houses made of glass, and below it, Enoch saw planet Earth. It seems that this is one of the first stories in human history about the abduction of people by a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s .
Proponents of the palaeocontact theory believe that the Book of Enoch is one of the most compelling texts on the arrival of e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳s. But it is by no means unique. Similar stories have survived in many other A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ cultures. This indicates that Enoch’s words have some credibility.
Many A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ texts say that people ascended to heaven and then returned. For example, in Ancient Greece there is a legend about Ganymede, who was lifted up by the eagle of Zeus. Similar legends can be found in the epics of A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ C̳h̳i̳n̳a̳, A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ Egypt , the Sumerians, and other peoples. All of these stories are similar, but they lack the details that abound in the Book of Enoch.
His texts not only prove the existence of a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s, but also show the other side of God. That is why the Church decided to exclude the Book of Enoch from the Bible , it turned out to be too extreme for the Christians of that time.
Divine watchers
According to the Book of Enoch, not all angels were messengers from God. The best evidence for this is the description of the creatures called Guardians .
The book of Daniel speaks of a certain group of angels, whom God commanded to instruct mankind. They cared for our world and guided the development of our c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳. Daniel only briefly mentioned these creatures, while in the Book of Enoch the Guardians or Guardians of Heaven (or Watchers) became one of the main themes. These “Angels” are not actually spiritual, but real beings. The Bible speaks of it quite clearly and distinctly. They are not from our world, which means they can be safely called a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s.
In the Book of Enoch, only 200 Guardians descended to Earth. Its leaders were Shamkhazai and Azazel, who later became known as Lucifer . The Guardians had a very bright appearance, and one of their names is “the Bright.” Enoch, as he described them, said that it was difficult to look at the Guardians, they glowed so brightly.
“The version that the Guardians were e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ guests is confirmed by the testimony of the prophet Elijah . He also ascended to heaven in a chariot of fire. Elijah was a great soothsayer, far superior to other prophets. He had a wonderful cloak that could heal the sick and raise the dead ”.
Chariots of fire are mentioned more than once in the Bible. Apparently we are talking about some kind of vehicle, a spaceship. According to Judeo-Christian beliefs, the soul ascends to heaven after de̳a̳t̳h̳, but in the Bible there are many examples of the ascension of a living person. Besides Enoch and Elijah, the same thing happened with Jesus.
What did the Book of the Giants tell us?
In the middle of the last century, Israeli shepherds found clay pots in one of the caves, in which A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ manuscripts were kept. These turned out to be handwritten copies of the Bible, which were at least 1000 years older than others known at the time. Besides them, there were other manuscripts, among them the Book of Giants.
This book talks about the Nephilim (giants), the children of the Guardians, their life and way of living. The Nephilim are the embodiment of evil. They committed terrible crimes, including eating human flesh. Ultimately, God decided that the Earth needed to be cleansed of the Nephilim, and appointed Noah, Enoch’s great-grandson, as the one chosen to restart human history.
In the Bible, Noah was chosen by God for his mercy. But the Book of Giants has a different version of the Noah story. He became the chosen one even before he was born, and his father was not a man. The newborn’s skin was glowing and its hair was as white as sheep’s wool. Outwardly, it was a copy of the Guardians and was artificially conceived.
The Guardians of Heaven believed that Noah would be the father of a new generation of people. It turns out that Noah was a genetically modified person, created by a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s for a new life on Earth.
The official version of the Bible says that God was saddened by the atrocities and evils of the human race and decided to end them by sending the Great Flood to Earth. The Book of Enoch tells the same story, but with significant differences. The flood was to destroy the fallen angels and the Nephilim.
According to Enoch, God protects people. He is nothing like the God of the book of Genesis, full of rage and anger. Another difference lies in the fact that Noah received the instructions to build the ark not from God, but from the archangel Uriel. Warn Noah of the impending cataclysm and reveal the future of humanity.
It turns out that Enoch is not referring to the punishment of the human race, but to the a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s who run our history.
Return of the gods
In the Book of Enoch, chapter 91, it is said that after Enoch’s journey and return to Earth, he was preparing for the second ascension to Heaven. But before that, he gathered his entire family together and shared an unusual prophecy. Methuselah, Enoch’s son, asked his father if he would see him again. Enoch replied:
“The Celestial Guardians have said that I will return to this planet. But thousands of years will pass, so we will not see each other again ”.
The concept of a Divine Chosen leaving and returning to Earth is found in almost all religions. The Jews await the return of the prophet Elijah, who will come before the Messiah and bring an era of peace and justice. It will be the beginning of the End Times.
Christians await the return of Jesus, considered the Messiah. For Islam, this is the Divine Messenger Al Mahdi or Mohammed himself.
In a sense, this return will bring a new age, a new world form, and a new relationship between humanity and God. These prophecies predict that a certain Messiah will appear in the clouds, accompanied by the army of heaven.
Is it possible that all these A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ texts are about a certain spaceship and an a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ invasion of Earth? And Enoch’s teachings were supposed to prepare humanity for the day when a new reality would open up to us.
As I write this article it’s just a couple of days before the end of 2021. And, word is out there that there will be knew revelations concerning “government UFO investigations.” We should, however, keep in mind what that term (“government UFO investigations”) actually means. Well, it can mean many things, and that’s a very important thing to note. For example, way back in the 1950s, the FBI initiated investigations into the activities and claims of the Contactees – people who said they had regular, face-to-face contact with aliens and who looked just like us and who came to our Earth from such places as Venus and Mars. Collectively, the FBI’s collective files on the Contactees amount to more than 1,000 pages. The ones who were under surveillance included Dana Howard, George Van Tassel, George Hunt Williamson, Orfeo Angelucci, Truman Bethurum, Margit Mustapa and George Adamski. The surveillance of all these people took up a large amount of work for J. Edgar Hoover’s agents. Indeed, the coverage of the above went on for years. However, the FBI had no direct interest in UFOs and/or alien worlds. It was the pro-Russian/Communist stance that so many of the Contactees held to that had the FBI worried. And, the fact that the Contactees had hordes of followers, too. Over the pond, another well-known Contactee, George King, was the subject of an investigation undertaken by the U.K. police force’s Special Branch. It was all because of King’s politics and atomic weapons. Just like his American comrades, King had politics that made the U.K. government disturbed – mainly because he, too, had large numbers of followers. Now, onto another angle.
(Nick Redfern)
“Giant Rock,” the hang-out of the Contactees and the Space Brothers
In the 1950s, the CIA initiated what was termed “The Robertson Panel.” Time and again, I have seen people totally skew what the panel really did – and was. The fact is this: the overall conclusion of the Robertson Panel was that while UFOs, per se, did not appear to have a bearing on national security or the defense of the United States, the way in which the subject could be used by potentially hostile nations to manipulate the public mindset and disrupt the U.S. military infrastructure did have a bearing – and a major one, too – on matters of a security nature. According to the panel’s members: “Although evidence of any direct threat from these sightings was wholly lacking, related dangers might well exist resulting from: A. Misidentification of actual enemy artifacts by defense personnel. B. Overloading of emergency reporting channels with ‘false’ information. C. Subjectivity of public to mass hysteria and greater vulnerability to possible enemy psychological warfare.” So, yes, the CIA did investigate the UFO phenomenon, but most of this was circulating around psychological warfare and not ETs.
(Nick Redfern)
The Aetherius Society: Watched by the U.K. Police’s Special Branch. All because of politics and “atom bombs.”
In the mid-1990s, an Englishman named Robin Cole tried to penetrate the secrets of the U.K. ‘s Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ). It’s the U.K. equivalent of the United States’ National Security Agency. Cole clandestinely spoke with GCHQ personnel, discovered that the agency had a large library of UFO books, and that staff had reports on-file of UFO sightings. When GCHQ learned that Cole was nosing around in the work of GCHQ, they sent a couple of Special Branch staff to Cole. GCHQ wasn’t particularly interested in UFOs. Rather, the agency was worried that Cole might have been working for a for a foreign agency, under the cover of being a “Mulder and Scully idiot,” as one file described Cole in 1997. Once again, though, yes the UFO-themed investigations were real, but they were based around worries GCHQ had concerning (a) politics and (b) fears of U.K. citizens being recruited by foreign nations. Another one watched by Special Branch was Matthew Williams. He was a Crop Circle-maker and someone who, on several occasions, broke into various military bases in the U.K.; they were bases that were said to know all about UFOs. One of them being Royal Air Force Rudloe Manor.
What all of this tells us is that yes, over the years and decades there have been numerous UFO investigations by government agencies. But, that doesn’t mean those investigations were based on trying to determine if intelligent alien life had reached Earth. Quite the opposite: the governments of both the U.K. and the U.S, were largely focused on how the UFO subject could be used for manipulation and psychological warfare. So, with all of that said, it would not surprise me if some of the things that, right now, are being whispered about -namely, “UFO investigations” – will actually be found as projects of our making. On this topic: in November 2021, for example, I was given tidbits of information on what is said to be a classified report that will appear into the public domain at some point in 2022. That same report will be focused on how and and why foreign nations have used extremely sophisticated drones as UFOs to “create unease.” And, to see the responses of the public and the media So, yes, I look forward to seeing what’s coming in 2022. But, I’m not at all sure that the “UFOs” will be extraterrestrial in nature.
Researchers analyzed dinosaur footprints dating back more than 200 million years and now their findings have been revealed. The footprints, which were found on a beach in Penarth, Wales, were discovered in 2020 and experts have been studying them ever since.
Researchers believe that the footprints were made by a group of sauropodomorphs that were traveling through the region sometime between 237 and 201 million years ago during the Triassic Period. Sauropodomorphs were huge quadrupedal herbivores that had very long necks and tails. They were divided into two groups – prosauropods and sauropods (these included Diplodocus and Apatosaurus among others).
It’s unclear as to which sauropodomorph species left the tracks, but it may have been a dinosaur like the Camelotiawhich was an herbivore that lived in England during the late part of the Triassic Period and was estimated to have measured about 10 meters in length (33 feet).
Professor Paul Barrett went into further details about the footprints by explaining, “We think the tracks are an example of Eosauropus, which is not the name of a particular dinosaur species but for shape of a type of track thought to have been made by a very early sauropod or a prosauropod.” “We know these kinds of dinosaur were living in Britain at the time, as bones of the sauropod Camelotia have been found in Somerset in rocks dated to the same age.” “We don’t know if this species was the track maker, but its presence nearby was another smoking gun which suggested something like it could have made these tracks.”
(Not the footprints mentioned in this article.)
He went on to say that it is thought that the location was a place where numerous sauropod dinosaurs once gathered, “There are hints of trackways being made by individual animals, but because there are so many prints of slightly different sizes, we believe there is more than one trackmaker involved,” adding, “These types of tracks are not particularly common worldwide, so we believe this is an interesting addition to our knowledge of Triassic life in the UK. Our record of Triassic dinosaurs in this country is fairly small, so anything we can find from the period adds to our picture of what was going on at that time.” Their study was published in the journal Geological Magazine where it can be read in full.
Pictures of some of the dinosaur footprints can be viewed here.
The tracks are located on a public beach in Penarth, Wales and are thought to date back over 200 million years.
Wandelaar vindt 200 miljoen jaar oude dinosaurusvoetafdrukken in Wales
Pootafdrukken die een wandelaar vorig jaar op een strand in het Welshe dorpje Penarth heeft ontdekt, zijn ongeveer 200 miljoen jaar oud en zijn daar wellicht achtergelaten door een voorvader van de dinosauriërs.
Dat heeft het Natural History Museum in Londen vrijdag bekendgemaakt. Mogelijk gaat het om dieren uit de familie van de sauropodomorpha, langgenekte dino's waarvan de Diplodocus de bekendste is. Sporen van deze dino’s zijn zeldzaam in Groot-Brittannië.
Het gaat om een spoor pootafdrukken van ongeveer vijftig meter lang. Wandelaarster en amateurpaleontoloog Kerry Rees ontdekte het spoor vorig jaar op een strand in Penarth in Wales.
Experten van het Natural History Museum onderzochten de afdrukken, en kwamen onlangs tot de conclusie dat ze er al 200 tot 250 miljoen jaar liggen, uit het Trias-tijdperk.
De afdrukken van de dinosaurussen worden nu gedocumenteerd aan de hand van 3D-beelden. Ze uitbreken en bewaren in een museum is namelijk erg moeilijk, maar door erosie is het belangrijk de afdrukken te documenteren. De wetenschappers hebben hun bevindingen gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijk tijdschrift Geological Magazine.

The Cabal, Black Magic and Extraterrestrial Life
The Cabal, Black Magic and Extraterrestrial Life
Exopolitics Today: Dr. Michael Salla interviews Brad on how extraterrestrial life and black magic have been integral components of the global control system created millennia ago to subvert humanity, and has over the last 50 years prevented the emergence of a Star Trek Future.
As the Deep State unravels and cabal leaders escape Earth due increasing public resistance to their policy agenda and intervention by an alliance of positive extraterrestrial groups working with "White Hats" from different spacefaring nations (the 'Earth Alliance'), it has been claimed that the magical keys and codes used to subjugate humanity, are being surrendered.
This interview discusses what would be involved in the handover of magical keys and codes used by the Cabal, and how this is necessary to bring about our Star Trek Future.

The Ancient History of UFOs and the Oppenheimer-Einstein Report
The Ancient History of UFOs and the Oppenheimer-Einstein Report
An unidentified flying object, or UFO, in its most general definition, is any apparent anomaly in the sky that is not identifiable as a known object or phenomenon. Although its definition encompasses any unexplained aerial phenomena, in popular culture the term has generally become synonymous with an extraterrestrial spacecraft.

UFO Sightings Throughout History
UFO sightings have been reported throughout recorded history and in various parts of the world, raising questions about life on other planets and whether extraterrestrials have visited Earth. They have become a major subject of interest, and the inspiration behind numerous films and books. However, sadly they are also the focus of intense ridicule.
For decades there has been a move, deliberate or not, to diminish the importance of UFOs and create a public belief that UFOs are part of some form of elaborate hoax. Nevertheless, unexplained aerial observations of UFOs have been reported throughout history, from prehistoric times up until the present day.
Some ancient depictions of flying objects in the sky were undoubtedly astronomical in nature, most probably comets, bright meteors and planets that can be seen with the naked eye, or atmospheric optical phenomena such as lenticular clouds. An example is Halley's Comet, which was recorded first by Chinese astronomers in 240 BC and possibly as early as 467 BC. Such sightings throughout history often were treated as supernatural portents, angels, or other religious omens.
However, we cannot just assume that what our ancient ancestors saw and recorded on cave walls or in ancient texts were astronomical or environmental phenomena. Like today’s sightings, there appears to be a small percentage of sightings that are simply inexplicable. Many of the records existing from our ancient past certainly arouse curiosity, such as the prehistoric cave painting above.
The cave painting bears a striking similarity to images painted hundreds of years later in the 16th century Summer’s Triumph Tapestry . UFO imagery on this tapestry also ties in closely with modern-day UFO accounts. There are also the Aboriginal cave paintings of the Wandjina sky beings , which appear to represent alien visitors.

Proponents of the ancient astronaut perspective point to numerous myths and legends telling of so-called “ sky gods ” descending from the heavens, while historic texts dating back 4,000 years appear to describe flying spaceships. In the Vedic literature of India, such as the Rig Veda , the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana, there are many descriptions of flying machines called vimanas which were used in warfare in ancient times. The vimanas were said to be able to fly in the earth's atmosphere as well as into outer space, distant planets and be submerged underwater.
In the pyramids of Egypt, archaeologists have found hieroglyphs that resemble the UFOs that are described in sightings up to the present day. Centuries later, we have the pre-Columbian Quimbaya gold artifacts found in Central America, which appear to be perfect models of flying crafts. Later, in the medieval period, there was an abundance of art produced which appear to depict UFOs in the sky.
As debunkers correctly point out, none of these ancient depictions alone can be taken as conclusive evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life . But they do, at the very least, raise the possibility that extraterrestrials have indeed visited Earth, and that just as people today regularly report sightings of unidentified objects in the sky, so to might our ancient ancestors have encountered objects that they could neither identify nor explain.

UFO Scholarly Debate, Investigation and the Oppenheimer-Einstein Report
Considering the above, it therefore seems sensible that UFOs should be the subject of scholarly debate and scientific investigation. Instead, what we see today is an internet full of fake images, hoax videos, sensational Hollywood movies and misinformation that makes it virtually impossible for a legitimate researcher to separate fact from the very large haystack of fiction.
It also appears that our governments are not exactly forthcoming when it comes to offering information about their own research on the matter. We only need to look at the CIA announcement in August 2013 that Area 51 does exist, despite decades of denying its existence while brandishing anyone who dared to suggest it as a mere conspiracy theorist. Fortunately, there do exist some scientifically-driven organizations, such as SETI and MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), which take an objective approach to the study of UFOs.
This brings us to an unclassified top secret document written by Robert Oppenheimer, an American theoretical physicist, and Albert Einstein , a German theoretical physicist. Together they wrote a joint report entitled “Relationships with Inhabitants of Celestial Bodies”. The six-page document is the first archival evidence to use the phrase “Extraterrestrial Biological Entities” or EBEs. Dated June 1947, the Oppenheimer-Einstein report states that the presence of unidentified spacecraft is accepted as de facto by the military.
The Oppenheimer-Einstein report deals with issues related to UFOs and extraterrestrials: Where extra-terrestrials may come from, what the law say about it, what we should do in the event of colonization and/or integration of peoples, and why they are here. The document suggests that in the event that EBE's desire to settle here on earth there will be "profound change in traditional concepts" of law and the possible need for a new "Law Among Planetary Peoples."
Section of the 1947 Oppenheimer and Einstein report.
The Importance of the Oppenheimer-Einstein Report for UFO Scholarship
This document is important for two reasons. The first reason is that it addresses the possibility of life on other planets in a very logical and coherent way, before exploring what such a realization would mean. It also raises questions about why, if respected scientists such as Oppenheimer and Einstein are able to approach the subject in an academic way, are we unable to engage in such sensible discussion today?
The analysis presented by Oppenheimer and Einstein indicates that “disclosure” of extraterrestrial existence could cause irreversible damage to society. This raises the possibility that our governments today may already know of extraterrestrial existence but have considered the same issues raised by Oppenheimer and Einstein and ruled against public disclosure.
If humanity were told that that intelligent extraterrestrial beings not only exist but have been visiting our planets for thousands of years, what would happen. Could it be that confronted with such evidence would cause social upheaval in the domains of religion, society, law, and finance? If not addressed properly, could this cause chaos on planet Earth?
There are many questions that still need answers. The document suggests that EBEs could be more intelligent and technologically advanced than us, and asks why, if this were the case, they come to Earth in the first place? Would it be to conquer and inhabit Earth, to peacefully cooperate with humans, or to study us in the same way that we study any new species that we encounter? The document considers, if their civilization is more advanced than ours, how could a co-occupation of Earth be feasible?
Portion of the Oppenheimer and Einstein report, penned in 1947.
Can Humanity Handle Access to Advanced Extraterrestrial Technology?
Imagine the situation in which advanced technology is given to our civilization – powerful defense systems, unlimited energy, cloaking devices, space travel to other solar systems, instant transportation devices, and so on. Now considering the current state of our civilization and the people that govern it, what would such a release of technology mean? One word: Chaos.
Another reason that the Oppenheimer-Einstein report is important is because it addresses the presence of alien UFOs on our planet as a fact known to the military. It goes on to relate this knowledge to our invention of nuclear bombs – the single weapon that could eliminate life on Earth for many thousands of years.
It is not hard to understand that if UFOs are kept hidden from the public, it is for multiple reasons, which are logically addressed in this document. It is for these reasons, that we may never see a disclosure of extraterrestrial existence in our lifetime.
In the meantime, it seems that the most sensible approach is to keep an open mind. It is usually the case that a debate rages between two opposite extremes. One side wants to believe wholeheartedly that the cave art and mythological accounts are all descriptions of alien encounters and UFO sightings.
Meanwhile, the other side is so prepared to disbelieve that anything exists beyond the scope of their reason that they will ignore even the most blatant rendition. If scientists can overcome the ridicule and disparaging remarks that come with exploring the subject matter, perhaps one day we will find irrefutable evidence that UFOs and extraterrestrials do exist.

‘Aliens in bedroom’: UFO sightings on the rise in Northern Ireland
These included a report of a spaceship and flashing lights in the Downpatrick area on 17 January.‘Aliens in bedroom’: UFO sightings on the rise in Northern Ireland

From mysterious discs over Slemish Mountain in County Antrim to strange images spotted on CCTV, unexplained sightings increased in Northern Ireland again last year.
Police received eight sightings in Northern Ireland during 2021, an increase from six such reports in 2020 and four in 2019.
These included a report of a spaceship and flashing lights in the Downpatrick area on 17 January.
In May police received two sightings reports, one of white lights after a helicopter in the Maghaberry area and an odd disc seen in the sky in the Slemish area of County Antrim at the end of the month.
In July there was a report of “strange images” on CCTV in a house in the Newtownabbey area and a dome-shaped object with eight lights in the sky reported in the Saintfield area.
In September a report was received in the Lisburn area of “aliens in bedroom”, while in October a detained patient reported having been abducted by aliens.
The final report of the year was of “unusual bright lights in the sky” in November.
UFO sighting reports on the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) database include unidentified flying objects (UFOs); aerial phenomena; unidentified aerial phenomena; lights in the sky; and aliens and extraterrestrials.
A PSNI spokesperson said no investigations had been carried out in relation to these incidents.
Nick Pope, who used to investigate reports of UFO sightings for the Ministry of Defence (MoD), said it was possible that more people spending more time at home during the pandemic may account for a rise in reported sightings.
“It’s difficult to say what lies behind the small increase in sightings,” he said.
“Covid-19 and lockdowns may have played a role, with people having more time on their hands during the pandemic, and perhaps spotting things that previously may have gone unnoticed.
“Another possibility is that people are following the situation in the United States, where Congress is taking the issue seriously and the Pentagon has launched a new UFO initiative.
“This may make people more likely to report something unusual that they’ve seen because it sends the message that the authorities take the matter seriously.”
However, Pope said he believed the true number of sightings was much higher.
“Sadly, the numbers are still fairly low, and I suspect there’s chronic underreporting, perhaps because of the perceived stigma,” he said.
“That’s possibly a consequence of the Ministry of Defence’s decision to stop investigating UFOs at the end of 2009.
“If the MoD restart investigations and ask the public to report anything unusual, I’m sure they’ll receive lots of reports.”

Many artists throughout history have claimed some sort of otherworldly inspiration (the muses, for instance). But the visionary American artist Paulina Peavy (1901–1999) may be one of the only to attribute her talents to communications with a U.F.O.—specifically one named Lacamo.
During Peavy’s lifetime, she enjoyed many early successes, including showing with Los Angeles’s Stendahl Gallery, studying with Hans Hofmann, and exhibiting work at the opening of the San Francisco Museum of Art—all before falling into art world obscurity.
The new exhibition “Paulina Peavy: An Etherian Channeler,” on view at the Beyond Baroque art center in Venice Beach, is hoping to reintroduce Peavy as a powerful and one-of-a-kind creative force in the nascent southern California art scene of a century ago.

The fascinating show, curated by Laura Whitcomb, marks the first exhibition of Peavy’s work in California in 75 years, and traces her myriad creations —paintings, films, drawings, intricate masks—from the 1930s into the 1980s. Various ephemera related to theosophy and astroculture are also on view in a series of vitrines, along with some of Peavy’s own writings, which detail the elaborate occultist belief systems that informed her work.
Even before UFOs got involved (and we’ll get to that later), Peavy’s story was one against the odds. She was born in Colorado to a miner father and a Swedish immigrant mother. In 1906, the family moved to Portland following the Oregon Trail. Peavy’s mother would die tragically a few years later. In spite of the gender conventions of the time and her own humble origins, Peavy would attend Oregon State College (now Oregon State University), studying art with Farley Doty McLouth and Marjorie Baltzell. While a student there, she received recognition in a national competition hosted by the Art Students League in New York. After moving to Southern California, she received a scholarship to attend the Chouinard Art Institute, where she would later study with Hans Hofmann.

In the 1920s, Peavy began to play a pivotal role in the emerging West Coast art scene. She established the Paulina Peavy Gallery, which also functioned as a salon and school, hosting classes for the Los Angeles Art Students League. Like many other artists of the age, Peavy had interests in the supernatural and was loosely affiliated with the occult-inclined art group the Group of Eight, as well as the Synchromists and a group of West Coast surrealists led by artist Lorser Feitelson.
But her true moment of breakthrough came in 1932, when Peavy, by now the mother of two and in the midst of a divorce, attended a seance at the Santa Ana home of Ida L. Ewing, a pastor of the National Federation of Spiritual Science. During a séance there, Peavy claimed to have encountered a discarnate entity she called Lacamo, which she later described as a “wondrous ovoid-shaped UFO.” It was an event that would have a profound impact on Peavy and her work for the rest of her life—because Lacamo, she said, revealed great universal truths which she attempted to convey through her art. (She sometimes co-signed her works with Lacamo.)

At the core of these revelations was a complex cosmology consisting of 12,000-year cycles with 3,000-year seasons. The summer of these seasons harkened a kind of utopia in which human beings transcended the limits of their earthly bodies to become spirits, freed from their sexes and entering “one-gender perfection,” as well as a singular cosmic race.
She also looked to other artists for inspiration. Peavy was fascinated by the Mexican muralists, particularly José Clemente Orozco who also shared a deep interest in hermetic and indigenous traditions, particularly philosopher José Vasconcelos’s belief that a great cosmic race would be born out of the Americas (Peavy exhibited 30 of her paintings at the Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-40, where Diego Rivera exhibited mural work. She also painted a 14-foot mural titled The Eternal Supper, depicting a “Last Supper” filled with androgynous, racially ambiguous figures which had its debut at the San Diego Fine Arts Gallery (now San Diego Museum of Art) in 1941.)
In drawings and films on view in the exhibition, one sees Peavy alluding to pyramidal shapes and the icon of the Pharaoh, an image that would remain central to her visual lexicon. Within her complex cosmology, the Egyptian era stood as paramount, but one can also see these forms as drawings from the Maya and Aztec lineages heralded by the muralists.

Undoubtedly, the most striking part of the exhibition are Peavy’s paintings, in which androgynous faces appear against darkened foregrounds, veils and wisps of colors hauntingly hovering above. For Peavy, who didn’t title or date her works, these paintings were ongoing revelations, and many are the result of 50 years of experimentation. Starting in the 1930s, Peavy employed a signature technique of layering translucent colors, then later, in the 1970s and ‘80s, she often returned to these paintings adding abstract crystal shapes that she believed would make viewers’ more receptive to transcendence and Lacamo’s unearthly wisdom.
“She was instructed [by Lacamo] that her painting could change viewers’ neural pathways so that the viewer could become, over time, a receiver. In other words, the paintings were meant to increase neuroplasticity that would make viewers more psychic and more receptive as channelers themselves,” said curator Laura Whitcomb.

Another fascinating portion of the exhibition includes a collection of intricately adorned masks that offer a window into Peavy’s practice as a channeler. As art objects, these many-layered masks, which she would wear while communicating with Lacamo, straddle both Surrealist objects and indigenous traditions. As with many women artists before her, Peavy also worked in costume design. In college, she had drawn Surrealist costumes for a campus magazine. Later, in New York, she helped support herself by making costume designs for a fashion house.
Still, everything Peavy created was primarily intended to celebrate her belief system. “Paulina considered herself a philosopher and wrote a number of manuscripts, but most poignantly made films which could elucidate her cosmology,” said Whitcomb. Yet, in her time, these beliefs cast Peavy out of the mainstream art world.
“She has this incredible pedigree where she showed with Delphic Studios—Alma Reed’s gallery—and at the same New York gallery where Agnes Pelton showed abstract works. Peavy was articulate, intelligent, very well educated in the arts, but when she identified her discarnate entity Lacamo, in the aftermath of the war, when there was this fear and anxiety over the UFO phenomenon and the Roswell incident, everyone dropped her and thought she was absolutely crazy,” explained Whitcomb. “These were dangerous ideas to be affiliated with and could get you in a lot of trouble, even on an FBI list.”

Peavy made her way henceforth by selling her work, not through galleries but through Albert Bender’s Space Review, one of the most important periodicals of UFO culture of the era, and showing work in astroculture conventions. “She became something of an astroculture celebrity,” said Whitcomb. “She realized the art world was very fearful.”
Now, times have changed and spiritualist women artists such as Hilma af Klint, Georgiana Houghton, and Agnes Pelton are widely celebrated. “In the lead up to the Second World War, many artists were experimenting with the occult—Artaud was casting spells against Hitler. And the past years have been very scary,” said Whitcomb. “I feel like recent interest in the occult had to do with creating a cosmic balance and then we’re reminded of artists’ roles as shamans.”
Now and again, people will ask me how traumatic can a UFO event be. Worse still, what if the events continue on and on. And on even more. I thought I would share with you today just one example of how the UFO phenomenon can create almost never-ending stress and terror. The story comes from a man named Daryl Collins; a man who I came to know more than a decade ago and who made it clear to me that getting into the UFO subject could be highly dangerous. With that said, read on. As Daryl told me in 2017: “In early June of 1986 (don’t recall the exact date), I was just coming from a discussion of my abduction memories and approaching the parking lot to drive home. A white-haired lady in dark or black clothes drove by in a dark or black car. As she approached me she slowed down, leaned out her window, and yelled at me, ‘You have nine years until what you were made for! You have nine more years!’ Then she sped up and drove away. I didn’t catch the license number, make of car, or any other details. But I distinctly remember what she yelled, since I spent the next nine years haunted by what might be awaiting me in early June of 1995. When the date finally arrived, there were smells suggesting the things might have been in the house, but otherwise nothing happened. The literature is full of cases where predictions failed to come true; maybe they just change their minds.”
(Nick Redfern)
As I read Collins’ account, I couldn’t fail to remember how – at the height of his Men in Black encounters in the early 1950s – Albert Bender found his Bridgeport, Connecticut home filled with overpowering odors of brimstone and sulfur. What goes around clearly comes around, too. In light of the above, I wasted no time in asking Collins a few questions. January 19, 2017: “There followed some kind of physical examination.” On the particular matter of his abduction experience as a young boy, nine days later Collins shared with me his Woman in Black encounter. He told me: “Approximately April or May 1945, an extremely bizarre encounter. I was playing in the backyard when I spotted a creature about my size, an elf perhaps, which communicated telepathically. It merged its body with mine, and controlled my movements. We went out the back gate and down several streets to an area that at that time was still wild country. We found a hole in the ground and jumped in, falling a fair distance, stopped, and entered a strange room and walked down a corridor. The corridor led to a door which swung open, and the elf separated from me. There followed some kind of physical examination, then I was back in my yard quickly forgetting the whole incident. Long ago I described the details to Budd Hopkins, and he said he had many similar cases.”
Collins also told me: “In 1948 my parents and I were driving at night on a deserted rural highway. An object came over and lifted the car into a big round room. A door opened and three creatures, with clawed webbed toes and stubs for fingers, took each of us in different direction. I followed one down a long dark corridor to a brightly lit room with an examining table and a gray with long bony fingers. He stuck a sharp instrument into my stomach, then a different instrument far up my right nostril. When he pulled it out, my nose bled a little and was sore for hours. Then he took an instrument like a black cone and pressed the point to my forehead, producing a strange vibrating sensation. Apparently he was activating an implant that had just been put in place. He said, telepathically, ‘It will be all right from now on.’ Abruptly we were all back in the car and the whole episode was forgotten.”
There was more: “I don’t remember the date, but once I was confronted with a large insectoid which said, ‘I want you to devote your whole life to me!’ I didn’t understand and asked what that meant. I don’t remember what the creature said, but I replied emphatically, “No, I won’t!” This evidently didn’t go over very well. In January 1950, I was taken at night from my home by skeletal creatures who said they were going to kill me. I begged for my life, reminding them of the time they had said: ‘It will be all right from now on.’ So instead they put me on the table and performed extensive procedures. Finally they abandoned me, and all the memories were lost for very many years. As far as I can tell, I was never abducted again. When I first encountered ‘flying saucers’ in the newspapers that March, I immediately adopted the subject as the center of my life, but it never occurred to me to wonder why, nor to suspect it had anything to do with me. In view of Collins’ experiences of the UFO variety as a young child – in 1945 and 1948 – it seemed to me hardly surprising that he received a chilling message from a Woman in Black in the 1980s. I knew only too well that both the MIB and the Women in Black often intrude upon the lives of those who have had profound UFO encounters – and sometimes years later. And the experience is seldom, if ever, positive in nature. It certainly wasn’t for Daryl.
As the sand runs out of the 2021 hourglass (ask your grandfather for an explanation), everyone is issuing their ‘Best of 2021’ lists. Today we look at the Best Orb Sighting of 2021. And the winner is?
“It’s amazing – it’s a real mystery why the light dropped. It’s some of the best footage I’ve seen this year.”
That nomination comes from Christian Jensen ‘Chris’ Romer, chairman of the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) – a UK “scientifically-orientated educational and research charity and learned society dedicated to a better understanding of anomalous phenomena.” He should know his orbs when he sees one … right? Here’s a video from an outdoor surveillance camera in Norfolk, England, of what Chris Romer is referring to. (Video here.)
Did you see it? What did you think – was it the best orb YOU have ever seen? After viewing the video, would you consider Chris Romer to be a “paranormal whizz” as The Mirror and other media sources refer to him?
Now THAT’S an orb.
“At the same time, my neighbor said that before the houses were built in this place, there was a factory where they made bricks. And local workers in the evenings wore such headlamps. So it could be the ghost of one of the workers.”
The unnamed owner of the video thinks she recorded a ghost of a miner still wearing his helmet, and she points out the light seems to be on half of a body. However, she’s convinced it wasn’t a live person – miner or otherwise – because her neighbor’s camera didn’t pick it up. A local folklorist says he can’t rule out a ghost yet.
“The uneven movement of the fire makes me wonder if this fire is being carried by someone who, for some reason, does not appear in the frames. Besides, in our places there are tales of ghost fires and cadaveric candles. I assume there is a natural explanation for this, but I can’t say definitively without further research into this video.”
Cadaveric or corpse candles (ignis fatuus ) are often reported over marshes or in churchyards or outside of houses and are said to be harbingers of death. Folklorists say the size indicates the age of the victim – a small pale blue light is said to signal an infant death. The owner of the video doesn’t seem to mention any deaths. Paranormal News also quotes parapsychologist Dr. Becky Smith, who doubts it’s a ghost but can’t explain why “the figure seems to duck about halfway.” Did you see it? (Watch the video again.)
Whatever the orb is, it hardly looks to this writer like something worthy of the designation ‘Best Orb of 2021” – unless 2021 was a particularly bad year for orbs. Could it be because the coronavirus is orb-shaped? In fact, Chris Romer is said to admit it’s probably not paranormal activity and is more likely to be someone carrying a mobile phone with the light on with their body not seen because of poor lighting. It sounds like Romer may have been taken out of context … and the term “whizz” was applied by the media, not him or his organization.
There’s still a little time left to 2021 – charge up your phone and go orb-hunting … you could be the Best of 2021 in something!
Laatste ‘onaangeroerde’ mummie van het oude Egypte geeft zijn geheimen prijs
Amenhotep, een farao die zo’n 3.500 jaar geleden over Egypte regeerde en de laatste onaangeroerde mummie, heeft zijn geheimen prijsgegeven. Dankzij een nieuwe onderzoekstechniek is hij daarbij onaangeroerd gebleven. Dat schrijven de onderzoekers in het vaktijdschrift Frontiers in Medicine.
Amenhotep regeerde over het oude Egypte tussen 1525 en 1504 voor Christus. Na zijn dood werd hij gemummificeerd en zijn overblijfselen bleven vrijwel onaangeroerd: een unieke kans voor het onderzoeksteam van Sahar Saleem. Haar beroep? Saleem is geen archeologe, zoals je misschien zou denken, maar wel een radiologe verbonden aan het Egyptian Mummy Project.
Met behulp van enkele CT-scans slaagden Saleem en haar team erin om enkele indrukwekkende 3D-beelden te maken van Amenhotep. Op die manier konden ze zijn uiterlijk tot in de details reconstrueren, van zijn tanden tot zelfs de juwelen waar de farao mee begraven werd. “Hij had opvallend goede tanden voor iemand die 3.500 jaar geleden leefde”, zo verraadt Saleem.
Details
Dat de farao goede tanden had, was niet het enige wat Saleem ontdekte. “Wellicht was hij 35 jaar oud toen hij stierf. De man was ongeveer 169 centimeter lang en besneden. Hij droeg 30 amuletten bij zich en had een unieke gordel aan met gouden kralen.” Nog volgens Saleem zou de farao op zijn vader hebben geleken: “Hij had een smalle kin, een kleine neus en krullend haar”, aldus de onderzoekster.
Amenhotep regeerde ongeveer twintig jaar over het oude Egypte. Zijn vader, Ahmose, was de stichter van de nieuwe dynastie.
I was going over a Planetary map of Mercury looking for structure when I found more then I had expected. In this video below, I show you six structures in six minutes as I discuss the possibilities of life on Mercury. The buildings appear ancient but they are massive in scale...some reaching 10km tall and 15km wide. Some do not conform to human idea of structures, but some do. I do not expect everyone to agree with me on this, but these alien had millions of years ahead of us to develop and evolve...we will have difficulty grasping the shapes of their structures, because we wont understand their way of thinking. When you live in a culture different from your own, when something is done differently than you were raised to expect...it will first make you uncomfortable, angry and confused. Don't worry, go through..like we all did...it's a growing process that humans were never meant to make for millions of years.

Evidence of UFOs Captured by Airline Pilots | The Osbournes Want to Believe
The Osbournes get the scoop on an extraterrestrial hookup through a dating app. Jack also pushes his parents to become believers in ghost pets, desert mermaids, interdimensional green children and ultrafast UFOs.
Twentynine Palms is a city in San Bernardino County, California, United States, an area with an abundant statistics of U̳F̳O̳ sightings. In fact, in April 2021 there was a sighting of an object captured by a witness (a truck driver) who was on the Twentynine Palms Highway in the direction of Palm Springs in California. Unexpectedly in front of him, about ten meters above the ground, an oblong-shaped luminous object appears.
After 8 months, exactly on December 18, 2021, in the late afternoon some witnesses record the presence of a fleet of 5 huge spheres of light that appears on a mountain near Twentynine Palms, right in the direction where the U̳F̳O̳ was sighted disk of Palm Springs.
U̳F̳O̳ researchers speak of a hypothetical e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ base in the area, also because the U̳F̳O̳s could have their base on a mountain right near Twentynine Palms Highway, or Monte San Jacinto.
The 'world's most advanced' humanoid robot can be seen moving someone's hand out of the way when it gets into their 'personal space' in a new video clip.
Named Ameca, it is built by British firm Engineered Arts, and its development is being shared on YouTube.
In the latest clip, the robot, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the terrifying creation in the Will Smith blockbuster I, Robot, takes umbrage at a nose poke.
A researcher moves their finger closer and closer to Ameca, until the robot grabs the hand and moves it out of its face.
Engineered Arts, based in Cornwall, has not revealed how much the robot cost to make as it is still in development.

Tech firm will pay you £150,000 to use our face on its ROBOTS
The idea of lending your face to a robot may sound like the plot from an episode of Black Mirror, but it could soon become a reality.
Robot manufacturer Promobot is seeking a face for its next humanoid robot, which will be used in hotels, shopping malls and airports from 2023.
The firm is offering a whopping £150,000 ($200,000) to the brave volunteer, who must be willing to transfer the rights to use of their face forever.
Engineered Arts hopes Ameca will offer people a glimpse of the future because it 'represents the forefront of human-robotics technology'.
'Designed specifically as a platform for development into future robotics technologies, Ameca is the perfect humanoid robot platform for human-robot interaction,' the company said on its website.
'We focus on bringing you innovative technologies, which are reliable, modular, upgradable and easy to develop upon.'
Engineered Arts was formed in 2005 and its first robot was a mechanical 'Thespian' for the stage.
Of the latest development, the firm said: 'Ameca reacts as things enter their "personal space".
'This is even starting to freak us out at Engineered Arts and we are used to it!'
Users commented on the video, sharing amazement at how realistic the robot appears to be.
One said: 'No specific race or gender. Leaves those to the imagination. Fluid movement. Beautiful design. Not creepy. Good muscle and skin movement. Well done.'
Another user wrote: 'It's amazing how it's the extremely minor things, like blinking and subtle facial distortions, that make her appear to be a real living person.'
While Ameca can't walk at the moment, the firm says it is working on a walking version, and designed the robot to be modular and upgradable.
'There are many hurdles to overcome before Ameca can walk. Walking is a difficult task for a robot, and although we have done research into it, we have not created a full walking humanoid,' the firm said.
Engineered Arts hopes Ameca will offer people a glimpse of the future because it 'represents the forefront of human-robotics technology'
Engineered Arts also produces a robotic head, known as Adran, which has 22 custom actuators that allow it to move its eyes and mouth just like a human.
Adran is what Engineered Arts describes as a 'Mesmer', a system for building realistic humanoid robots that are powerful, elegant and cost-effective.
According to the Cornwall-based company, Mesmer robots can display a huge range of human emotions, and can be made to look like anyone.
'Each Mesmer robot is designed and built from 3D in-house scans of real people, allowing us to imitate human bone structure, skin texture and expressions convincingly,' it explained.

Ameca is the firms main project, and it follows the development of Sophia, which first emerged in 2016, and was a super-intelligent human-like head with a realistic face that was able to blink, look from side to side and talk.
The humanoid robot, created by Hong Kong firm Hanson robotics, is able to chat, smile mischievously and even tell jokes.
The robot made history in October 2017 when it became legal a citizen of Saudi Arabia.

While Sophia has some impressive capabilities, she does not yet have consciousness.
Hanson Robotics claims fully sentient machines could emerge within a few years.
Sophia herself has insisted 'the pros outweigh the cons' when it comes to artificial intelligence.
'Elders will have more company, autistic children will have endlessly patient teachers,' Sophia said.
On December 24, 1954, around a dozen people gathered on the front lawn of a house to sing Christmas carols to UFOs coming to save them from the end of the world.
The Seekers were formed in Chicago by Dorothy Martin, who claimed that she was a messenger for an alien lifeform known as The Guardians, who predicted a catastrophic flood that would kill billions.

Martin first believed that she could communicate with her late father by clearing her mind and holding a pen to paper to allow him to write through her, according to the podcast Cults.
These claims were dismissed by her mother and husband but Martin's beliefs only grew stronger.
The then 54-year-old worked to develop her alleged gift but said her father's voice was replaced by another who named himself only as Elder Brother.
The power first said that he was aiding her father to speak to her but soon altered his tone and accused Martin's dad of being too consumed with Earthly things.
Elder Brother took over the conversation and Martin's dad soon disappeared.
However, the voice of Elder Brother was also taken over by a being named Sananda who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus.
Sananda, Martin said, was from The Guardians who had chosen her as a messenger as they planned to bring cosmic intelligence to the rest of Earth.
At first, Sanada's messages were vague and gave no cause for concern but began to turn dark as Martin earned herself cult followers.
The housewife had reportedly struggled to understand her meaning in life and had visited new-age events in an effort to find more purpose.
It was at one of these events that she came to the attention of Dr. Charles A. Laughead, who then worked on the student health staff of Michigan State and had an extreme interest in UFOs and flying saucers.
As he became a follower of Martin's and recruited others, Sananda's messages began to speak of The Guardians' arrival on Earth and how it would bring about a time of warfare that much of humanity would not survive.
Again, Martin felt that the lack of an exact date for this war prompted no need for worry until in July 1954 the messages became more certain.
Sananda began to say that on August 1, 1954, a spaceship would land at an airbase that would mark the coming invasion.
Martin had wanted to keep the information to herself but Laughead spread the word to followers who by this point had become known as The Seekers.
FIRST DISAPPOINTMENT
When they visited the airbase, The Seekers picked a spot to wait yet nothing happened.
Yet as the group went home disappointed, Martin then claimed that a man they had met close to the airbase was Sananda in disguise.
The messages she received began to get more serious with Martin claiming that an ancient civilization was to emerge from the ocean and kill millions.
Yet she said that The Seekers would be saved by The Guardians.
Again, Martin didn't want to risk failure by sharing the message but Laughead was the one to try to tell the world.
As she tried to stay out of the spotlight, more people heard about her message and school children began to come to the door, asking if she was the woman who believed in aliens.
When parents began to call the police, Martin knew she was on notice but Laughead continued in his quest to tell as many people as possible.
That was until he was asked to leave his job after the calls to police and became more insular, allowing no new people to join The Seekers.
Martin also became paranoid and began to refuse to leave her home.
FOLLOWERS LEAVE JOBS & FAMILIES
It was at this point that her husband finally became concerned as her followers began to leave their job and families in order to ready themselves for the UFOs bringing them to safety.
The Seekers were now convinced that The Guardians were set to arrive on December 22 and they began prepping themselves for abduction by removing all metal from their clothes.
However, on December 17, 1954, Martin received a phone call from a "Captain Video" that told them to go out onto the lawn to wait at midnight.
While the call was likely a prank, the group emerged to wait and when nothing happened, convinced themselves that Sananda had carried out a drill to prepare them for the real deal in five days' time.
Martin readied The Seekers for the moment of truth at the strike of midnight on December 22.
By now, Laughead's efforts to get attention to their salvation had mounted serious media attention and the press was on hand to watch their coming ascension.
The group of a dozen followers waited until 3am in the cold before giving up and before once again being convinced by Martin that the end of the world was still coming and aliens would save them, this time on Christmas Eve.
CHRISTMAS EVE CAROLS
While the press had again given up interest, leaving Martin despondent that The Guardian had not given her enough time to rally people together, she managed to encourage the followers remaining that singing was key to entice their saviors.
As night fell on Christmas Eve, they emerged to wait once more - this time screaming carols to the heavens.
When a crowd of up to 200 people gathered to watch the commotion, the police were called once more and after only 20 minutes, The Seekers gave up hope.
Shortly afterward, Martin's husband was warned that there was a warrant out for her arrest over the crowd that had gathered outside the home and she fled to Arizona.
It is unclear if he went with her but the cult disbanded.
Martin's followers fell to the wayside yet Laughead still continued to push the belief at UFO conferences.
While Martin's premonition did not come to fruition, The Seekers contributed to one of the most important psychological breakthroughs in years.
The term "cognitive dissonance" was coined after a study was published by researchers who had infiltrated the group to explore how the followers had convinced themselves to continue, even when they were presented with evidence that Martin's statements were false.
Researchers also believed that Martin was not lying and truly thought that she was a messenger.
In Arizona, Martin went on to found the Order of Sananda and Sanat Kumara (the names of two of the Guardians), calling herself “Sister Thedra.”
Dark Sand Formations on Mars Seem Disturbingly Artificial and Organized
Dark Sand Formations on Mars Seem Disturbingly Artificial and Organized
After ages of uncertainty, we now know for a fact that there is no sign of existing intelligent life on Mars. Yet one can’t help from thinking about how that might have been, if it ever existed, when images such as the one we have here are released by the people who are constantly surveying the planet.
Dark sand dunes in Nilosyrtis - Layers in a Crater in Nilosyrtis This impact crater in the Nilosyrtis region of Mars contains numerous layers exposed along its floor. These layers formed long after the impact event and are likely deposits of dust and ice. Also present aredunes of dark sand that probably blew in from the surrounding terrain.
Nilosyrtis region of Mars - Nilosyrtis Mensae is an area of Mars in the Casius quadrangle. It is centered on the coordinates of 36.87° N and 67.9° E. Its western and eastern longitudes are 51.1° E and 74.4° E. North and south latitudes are 36.87° N and 29.61° N. Nilosyrtis Mensae is just to theeast of Protonilus Mensaeand both lie along the Martian dichotomy boundary.
Nilosyrtis region of Mars - Nilo Syrtis(orNilosyrtis) is a region just north ofSyrtis Major PlanumonMars, at approximately 23°N, 76°E and an elevation of −0.5 km. It marks a region of transition (a "crustal dichotomy") between southern highland and northern lowland terrain, and consists of isolated peaks andmesas. On average, the drop in elevation between the two terrains is 5,500 meters (18,000 feet).

Nilosyrtis region of Mars - Nilosyrtis is one of the sites proposed as a landing site for theMars Science Laboratory. However, it did not make the final cut. It was in the top 7, but not in the top 4. The aim of the Mars Science Laboratory is to search for signs of ancient life. It is hoped that a later mission could then return samples from sites identified as probably containing remains of life. To safely bring the craft down, a 12-mile-wide, smooth, flat circle is needed. Geologists hope to examine places where water once ponded.They would like to examine sediment layers.
With the help of the HiRISE camera that has been going around Mars for years now, snapping photos of the place, we got to see things up there we normally wouldn’t have seen, which are now fueling our imagination. Using its fancy filters and other hardware, the HiRISE is not only capable of giving us glimpses of the place in hues we normally don’t expect to see on the Red Planet, but can also create what seems like artificial features.

Nilosyrtis, as seen by HiRISE.
Layers in Monument Valley. These are accepted as being formed, at least in part, by water deposition. Since Mars contains similar layers, water remains as a major cause of layering on Mars.
The black and white image we have here was captured by HiRISE back in 2011, from an altitude of 299 km (186 miles). It shows an area of just 5 km (3 miles) of an impact crater in the Nilosyrtis region of Mars, a place which has “numerous layers exposed along its floor,” formed after the impact.
Those are features one would normally expect to encounter on the planet, and so are the black dunes seen here. Blackened by the HiRISE filters to the extreme, they’re not necessarily curious because of their color, but on account of how organized and artificial even they seem in this processed picture.
The theory is that these dunes were formed after the sand was blown by wind into the region from the surrounding terrain.
Nilosyrtis is a place on our neighboring planet filled with cliffs, mesas, and flat valleys. Scientists believe that sometime in the distant past it was covered by glaciers, hence a large amount of underground ice is likely to still exist under the surface.
On July 28, 1995, the U.S. Government Accountability Office’s report on the Roswell affair surfaced from its National Security and International Affairs Division. The GAO’s report did not provide any smoking-guns – such as old B&W photos of dead bodies and wreckage at the crash-site on the Foster Ranch, New Mexico. The report did, however, provide something interesting and controversial. And it’s something that has been misinterpreted for years. During the course of their search for records to try and better understand what had taken place at Roswell in early July 1947, the GAO learned that the entire outgoing messages from the Roswell Army Air Field generated during the period that the event occurred were missing. Vanished. Gone. And under circumstances that could not be fully determined and proved. Nor could the year in which the files went missing be confirmed. Maybe the late-forties. Maybe the fifties. The seventies? Who knows?
This, inevitably and very understandably, led certain Roswell researchers to proclaim that this was evidence of a significant event of UFO proportions having occurred. An event which certain elements of officialdom were determined to keep forever hidden from the populace, the media, and the UFO research community – and possibly, even, from anyone else in government who might dare to come looking, such as investigators of the GAO. Maybe, that’s precisely what happened. But, the story is not quite as straightforward as that. Matters are seldom straightforward when it comes to Roswell. Time and again, I have heard UFO researchers say, words to the effect of: “Because the 1947 files are missing, this must mean the government or the Air Force pulled them years ago, so no-one could get the files on the aliens.” Sure, that’s not impossible. But, there is another issue. The files in question that are unavailable to us do not cover just the key period of the Roswell affair. Rather, they extend as far back as March 1945 and as late as 1950.

Don’t get too exited: cool models at Roswell, New Mexico
We are led to believe that if aliens crashed a couple of hours’ drive from Roswell, then it was an event that occurred out of the blue, with little or no advance notice, and certainly not something that had been anticipated for a significant period of time. So, that being the case, why the need to pull files from as early as March 1945 to hide something that is said to have occurred, without much warning (if any at all), in the summer of 1947? Proponents of the notion that aliens crashed not too far from the city of Roswell might say that the government was just being overly careful, and wanted to make sure that (a) nothing was left behind, and (b) nothing had been misplaced in an earlier collection of material, or indeed, within a later collection of material, possibly held in secure safes at the base. So, they chose the best and quickest option available to them and scooped up pretty much everything that covered approximately two years or so before, and up to two-and-a-half years after the crash. And, maybe, that is exactly what happened. On the other hand, one can make a valid argument that the vanished files issue has no bearing on Roswell from an extraterrestrial perspective, because the documents that are missing include papers dating from two years before the event even took place. This also offers a theory (and, granted, that’s all it is) that there was another reason for the large-scale loss of material that the GAO sought to uncover. Let’s see what the GAO had to say about this matter of missing messages in its 1995 report:
“In addition to unit history reports, we also searched for other government records on the Roswell crash. In this regard, the Chief Archivist for the National Personnel Records Center provided us with documentation indicating that (1) RAAF records such as finance and accounting, supplies, buildings and grounds, and other general administrative matters from March 1945 through December 1949 and (2) RAAF outgoing messages from October 1946 through December 1949 were destroyed.” When the GAO demanded to know the reasons behind this development, they got an answer, as GAO files note: “According to this official [the Chief Archivist for the National Personnel Records Center], the document disposition form did not properly indicate the authority under which the disposal action was taken. The Center’s Chief Archivist stated that from his personal experience, many of the Air Force organizational records covering this time period were destroyed without entering a citation for the governing disposition authority. Our review of records control forms showing the destruction of other records – including outgoing RAAF messages for 1950 – supports the Chief Archivist’s viewpoint.”

At the crash site on the Foster Ranch, a few words about the legendary incident
So, in other words, we have yet another explanation that does not include high-level conspiracy to explain the loss and destruction of files, but which says far more about bureaucracy. So, what’s my point in all this? Well, this is my point: Yes, it certainly is intriguing that half-a-decade of certain files are missing from the old Roswell Army Air Field, and it may even be an issue of deep conspiracy to hide the remains of dead aliens and their craft. Or, it may not be. If UFO / Roswell researchers wish to maintain that the missing files from 1947 point to a specific cover-up of the Roswell event – and Roswell occurred out of the blue in July of that year – then they have to provide a viable reason as to why documentation dating back as far as March 1945 was pulled too, and why additional documentation remains missing from as late as 1950. Saying that “the outgoing Roswell messages from July 1947 are missing” is absolutely true, and it opens eyes and it catches the attention of ufologists and Roswell disciples everywhere. Noting that, in reality, the files actually cover 1945 to 1950, and also cover general administrative issues at the base, is far less attention-grabbing.
Ironically, the fact that the files which have vanished (files which still cannot be found) span 1945 to 1950, actually adds weight to the idea that Roswell was a military experiment. Just about everyone I spoke with while writing Body Snatchers in the Desert told me that the human experimentation began in 1945 and ended in the late 1940s – with a few additional tests having occurred in the early fifties. Pulling 1945-era files for a one-off event that didn’t occur until the summer of 1947 makes zero sense. Pulling certain 1945-era files that might have compromised the handful of pre-Roswell experiments – had they reached the public domain, of course – makes perfect sense. The same goes for the decision to make the 1948-1950 files vanish, too. The fact is that six years of files are missing, not just files from the time of the Roswell crash. This is indicative of a fairly lengthy series of ongoing tests that had to be hidden – not the out-of-the-blue crash of one solitary alien spacecraft midway through 1947.

“UFO Capital”
It should also be recalled that President Clinton’s Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments revealed that “…a number of potentially important collections could not be located and were evidently lost or destroyed [italics mine]. Similarly, the Committee reveals, a number of those same document collections related to experiments undertaken in the fields of biomedicine, defense and space exploration; and in the great majority of these cases only fragmentary data remained. Where programs were legitimately kept secret for national security reasons, states the Committee, the government often did not create or maintain adequate records [italics mine], thereby preventing the public, and those most at risk, from learning the facts in a timely and complete fashion.” All of this is highly suggestive of an agenda to make Roswell go away – permanently.
A RUSSIAN SPACECRAFT IS STRANDED IN LOW EARTH ORBIT
A RUSSIAN SPACECRAFT IS STRANDED IN LOW EARTH ORBIT
IT’S PROBABLY GOING TO COME CRASHING BACK DOWN TO EARTH.
RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY / FUTURISM
Graveyard Orbit
Well, this is a bit embarrassing.
A Russian rocket is now stranded in orbit after it suffered an engine failure — and it might come crashing back down to Earth.
Roscosmos, Russia’s state space agency, launched its Angara A5 rocket as part of a demonstration on Monday, NASASpaceflight.com reports. The spacecraft was headed towards graveyard orbit, a region of space around Earth where satellites are typically directed to at the end of their operational life.
Before the rocket could reach its final destination, though, its upper stage engine failed two seconds into its second burn. This left the rocket and its dummy payload stranded in very low Earth orbit.
Deathrocket 2: Electric Boogaloo
The rocket is actually so low that it’s now expected to go through an uncontrolled reentry, according to some experts.
Jonathan McDowell, astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, tweeted that the mass of the rocket and payload weighs “around four tons” in all “so some bits may reach Earth surface.”
This bears a stark similarity to China’s Long March 5B rocket (aka the Deathrocket) that came tumbling back down to Earth in an uncontrolled descent this spring. However, it should be noted that Long March weighed 22.5 metric tons — much bigger than Russia’s Deathrocket.
While Angara is likely to burn up into smaller (mostly) harmless pieces, it’s still pretty embarrassing for Russia’s space efforts — especially considering the controversyit’s attractedin the past year.
Plus, it’s more than enough to reignite some familiar anxiety of a massive rocket crashing on our houses.
CHINA FURIOUS WITH ELON MUSK FOR ENDANGERING ITS SPACE STATION
CHINA FURIOUS WITH ELON MUSK FOR ENDANGERING ITS SPACE STATION
"THE RISKS OF STARLINK ARE BEING GRADUALLY EXPOSED, THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE WILL PAY FOR THEIR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES."
FUTURISM
Evasive Maneuvers
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk just can’t stop making enemies.
After beefing with US senators, cabinet members, and fellow billionaires, it looks like he’s capping off the year by pissing off *checks notes* the entire nation of China — an impressive feat, even for him.
China recently informed the United Nations that its crewed space station Tianhe performed two evasive maneuvers this past year in order to avoid colliding with SpaceX Starlink satellites. The close calls occurred on July 1 and October 21.
Beijing specifically pointed to Article V of the UN’s Outer Space Treaty, which states that space-faring nations should inform each other of any “phenomena they discover in outer space” that could harm the life and safety of astronauts.
Translation: Your damn satellites nearly killed our astronauts, Elon.
Falling Debris
The issue stems from two wayward Starlink satellites that had lowered their altitudes as part of deorbiting measures, SpaceNews reports. These are planned processes put in place for older satellites that are being decommissioned (i.e. sent hurtling back to Earth in a flaming wreck).
It should be noted that the International Space Station has had to undergo evasive maneuvers numerous times due to Chinese anti-satellite missile tests. However, the latest complaint from China is just more evidence that there’s simply too much trash in orbit around Earth.
Furious Citizens
In response to the near collisions, Chinese citizens have taken to social media to let their anger be known on Weibo, the country’s version of Twitter.
“The risks of Starlink are being gradually exposed, the whole human race will pay for their business activities,” one user said on the platform in a post seen by Reuters.
Others added that SpaceX’s satellites were “just a pile of junk,” and even “American space warfare weapons,” according to the news organization.
The fury is an about face from an otherwise warm relationship Musk has had with Chinese citizens in the past. As it turns out, though, a solid way to destroy the good will you’ve developed with an entire country is by threatening the lives of its astronauts.

The world of UFO and extraterrestrial study and disclosure has never had a better proponent that former Nevada Senator and Senate majority leader Harry Reid, who passed away on December 28th at the age of 82. Other media sources will detail his remarkable life and long political career, but many are leaving out the impact he had on the paranormal world by approving secretly a fund for UFO studies and publicly pushing for more.
Harry Reid
“One day in 1996, I received a call from George Knapp, an investigative reporter at KLAS-TV, the CBS affiliate in Las Vegas, and a friend of mine. “Harry,” he said, “there’s something you have to attend.” He invited me to an upcoming conference that would focus on what the U.S. government generally refers to as “unidentified aerial phenomena,” but what most other people simply call U.F.O.s, a subject Mr. Knapp had, and still has, a particular interest in.”
George Knapp indeed still has an interest in UFOs and we’re forever indebted to him for introducing then Nevada Senator Harry Reid to the subject, as was Reid in his 2021 New York Times article on the subject. It seems strange that the Senator representing Area 51 had little interest in UFOs, but that conference and his friendship with fellow senator and former astronaut John Glenn led Reid to ‘cross the aisle’ in 2007 and join forces with Republican Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska and Democrat Daniel Inouye of Hawaii (Reid was Senate majority leader at the time) to put $22 million in the Pentagon budget for what became known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (ATTIP).
“I think it’s one of the good things I did in my congressional service. I’ve done something that no one has done before.”
Reid stated in 2009 that ATTIP made “much progress” with the “identification of several highly sensitive, unconventional aerospace-related findings” that will “likely lead to technology advancements.” It ended in 2012 but was continued secretly continued, and become famous through the work of Luis Elizondo, its former head, and the release of the videos of the now famous Tic Tac UFOs encountered by US Navy pilots and ship personnel.
“I think that I have opened the door to people not being afraid to talk about it. I know that when I first got involved in this, people in the military were afraid to mention it for fear of it hurting their promotions. But now the Pentagon has told them they should report all these things that they see that are unusual. So we made a tremendous amount of progress.”
Progress indeed! Senators Marco Rubio of Florida and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York picked up where Reid left off after retiring and were instrumental in passing an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act to establish an “Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office” which, among other things, will reverse-engineer UFOs. That’s a long way from the dreams of Harry Reid, who said that has a young boy in rural Searchlight, Nevada, he often looked up at the shooting stars. That interest continued until the day he died – Reid both pushed for more public interest in UFOs and pushed governments – ours and others – to be open about them.
“I believe that there is information uncovered by the government’s covert investigations into unidentified aerial phenomena that can be disclosed to the public without harming our national security.”
In his powerful position, Reid was a witness to what the covert investigations had found and, though sometimes misquoted, was always honest about it.
“The truth, disappointing as it may be, is that there’s still a great deal we don’t understand. It’s unclear whether the U.F.O.s we have encountered could have been built by foreign adversaries, whether our pilots’ visual perception during some encounters was somehow distorted, or whether we truly have credible evidence of extraterrestrial visitations. There may be other, as yet unknown explanations for some of these strange sightings.”
Harry Reid
Harry Reid had no problem with those who believed as a matter of faith that UFOs bore extraterrestrials from other worlds, but he always pushed to “lead with the science“ and get away from “conspiratorial theories and quack ideas.” He often said he finally came to “know Area 51 quite well” and “know what they’ve done there.” He had no reason to ‘storm’ it, but he respected the security surrounding the advanced testing going on there in his home state.
The last line of one of his last articles would make a fitting tombstone epitaph for the late Senator Harry Reid – the best friend UFOs ever had.
“Because the more I learn, the more I realize that there’s still so much I don’t know.”
With the advent of DNA analysis, it seems like no crime should defy solution, no ancestor should remain unidentified, no cryptid should remain unproven, no prehistoric animal should remain extinct and no alien skeleton should continue to be called ‘alleged.’ That’s why it’s puzzling that one of the most famous ‘alleged’ alien skeleton – the tiny six-inch-long being with an elongated, pointed skull and slanted eye sockets has remained famous yet unidentified for decades. (Images here.) That changed this week when researchers using the latest in DNA testing positively identified the mini remains that has two less ribs than a normal human and whose earlier DNA tests showed it had 8% ‘non-human’ DNA. What is “Ata”?
Not every strange skeleton is an alien.
For those who aren’t familiar with it, let’s start with “Who is Ata?” In 2003, treasure hunter Oscar Muño found the strange little skeleton wrapped in a white cloth in an abandoned church in the deserted Chilean mining town of La Noria in the Atacama Desert. A media report at the time described it as “a creature with hard teeth, a bulging head with an additional odd bulge on top. Its body was scaly and of dark color. Unlike humans, it had nine ribs.” While the photos circulated via the Internet and tabloid media, the skeleton itself changed hands a few times before ending up in Spain in the possession of businessman Ramón Navia-Osorio, who also runs the Institute for Exobiological Investigation and Study (IIEE) – a UFO Organization. Navia-Osorio had “Ata” – named for the Atacama Desert — analyzed and released his findings in 2017. While many people, including Stephen Greer, thought it was an alien or non-human, Navia-Osorio stated that three doctors concluded it was not a hoax and a fourth said this:
“It’s a mummified body with all typical characteristics of a fetus. The body displays all the structures and anatomical links normal for the head, trunk and extremities. Taken together, the proportionality of the anatomical structures … [allows us] to interpret beyond doubt, that this is a mummified human fetus completely normal.”
Case closed? The usual suspects who believed Ata to be an alien said no. According to Huffpost, more DNA analysis done in 2018 on what was then assumed to be a premature human fetus identified unusual but disputed mutations associated with dwarfism and scoliosis, and date its birth to the 1970s. that brings us to today. The Sun reports that Garry Nolan, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine who has been researching Atas since 2012, has determined that Ata died shortly after birth or was only slightly premature. The original DNA images came “from remains that were not known to be human when the research began,” which distorted the results. The new research shows a number of mutations in seven genes that contributed to Ata’s various bone deformities, facial malformations and skeletal dysplasia. In other words, this female baby was born in the 1970s with severe dwarfism and died a short time later.
Case closed?
“We do not know how a little girl came to be buried next to the church in the abandoned town. We do not know if she was born alive, but we do know she was treated with care and love in her last moments, being carefully covered in a white cloth and a violet ribbon. From the presumed timeline of her death, it is likely that her mother probably is still alive. Given the amount of interest about the case in the media, it is also possible that the family has been forced to relive events from 40 years ago.”
The Chilean government has done much to protect its native antiquities and the many mummies found there – even those unusual ones with three fingers and elongated heads. Cristina Dorador writes in Etilmercurio that it should do the same for Ata – return her to Chile, locate her family, and let them bury her one more time and let her rest in peace.
That seems like a very human thing to do for a girl who has been thought to e an alien for so long. It should also cause us to consider if this is how we will treat real extraterrestrials.
Almost a quarter of a billion years ago in the state of Nevada, a massive sea monster inhabited the area. Named Cymbospondylus youngorum, the huge fossil of this new ichthyosaur species was found back in 1998 in rocks from the Augusta Mountains.
However, it took until 2015 and with help from a helicopter for all of the fossils to be removed from the site. The remains were then brought to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County where experts have since been studying them.
Their detailed analysis revealed that the creature was massive with a skull that measured 6.5 feet in length (2 meters), meaning that the entire body of the Cymbospondylus youngorum would have been more than 55 feet long (17 meters) and weighed about 45 tons. In an email to Live Science, Lars Schmitz, who is an associate professor of biology at Scripps College in Claremont, California, described the species, “Imagine a sea-dragon-like animal: streamlined body, quite long, with limbs modified to fins, and a long tail.”

It lived about 247 million years ago during the Triassic Period. It would have occupied the Panthalassic Ocean off the western coast of what is now North America when the land was the supercontinent of Pangaea. It is believed that the Cymbospondylus youngorum would have feasted on ichthyosaurs that were smaller than itself, as well as fish and perhaps squid.
In a time span of about 2.5 million years, ichthyosaurs grew to massive lengths. Interestingly, it took almost 55 million years for whales to reach their sizes – the same size that it took ichthyosaurs just 1% of their 150-million-year history to achieve.
Schmitz explained this further, “We have discovered that ichthyosaurs evolved gigantism much faster than whales, in a time where the world was recovering from devastating extinction [at the end of the Permian Period].” “It is a nice glimmer of hope and a sign of the resilience of life — if environmental conditions are right, evolution can happen very fast, and life can bounce back.”
An ichthyosaur but not the Cymbospondylus youngorum.
As for why ichthyosaurs grew to such massive sizes in such a short time period, it may be partly caused by feasting on large amounts of marine mollusks called ammonoids and eel-like jawless conodonts that grew in population numbers after the mass extinction event. Two studies in relation to the Cymbospondylus youngorum have been published in the journal Science – they can be read here and here.
A picture of the fossil and an image of what the Cymbospondylus youngorum would have looked like can be seen here.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX satellites reported for nearly striking Chinese space station
Elon Musk’s SpaceX satellites reported for nearly striking Chinese space station
Elon Musk has enflamed US-China international relations after satellites launched by his SpaceX company nearly hit the Tiangong space station, which had three crew members on board.
China says Musk's satellites nearly collided with its space station
The Chinese government has called on Washington to protect the space station from similar incidents occurring and accused them of ignoring treaty obligations outlined in 1967 to ensure the safety of astronauts.
The United States should “take immediate measures to prevent such incidents from happening again,” said spokesman Zhao Lijian.
Following incidents in July and October, China said the space station had to perform “evasive measures” to “prevent a potential collision” in a new complaint filed with the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space.
In the October incident the satellites could have come within a few hundred meters if the astronauts had not taken action to move to a different altitude, according to data from the US Center for Astrophysics.
Musk was criticised earlier this month by the Royal Astronomical Society over the quantity of his Starlink satellites SpaceX has proposed to put into orbit.
The company announced in August that it had already shipped 100,00 terminals and was servicing 14 countries.
SpaceX’s satellites are much smaller than satellites of previous years, and are largely used to provide internet broadband from low earth orbit, which is approximately 2000km.
With the International Space Station having also come close to flying debris recently, there have been increased calls for a solution to congestion in the Earth’s orbit, with more than 4,800 commercial satellites now estimated to be in operation, close to double the total from five years ago.
On top of this, there are around 19,000 pieces of debris large enough to be tracked on radar.
Companies such as Japan’s Astroscale Holdings, where Seraphim Space Investment Trust PLC (LSE:SSIT) is an investor, offer in-orbit services such as removing satellites that are beyond repair, as well as inspecting, repairing and extending the life of others.
There are also a growing number of government-funded schemes to mitigate the amount of space debris, including a public-private partnership led by the European Space Agency (ESA) and UK government-backed OneWeb.
Meet Ameca, the world’s most advanced humanoid robot. Created and designed by Cornish robotics company Engineered Arts, Ameca is hyper-realistic with fluid movement and a face that could almost pass for human.
While Ameca can’t dance as well as a Boston Dynamics robot or parkour like the Caltech bipeds, the leap forward in realistic facial animation is equal parts magnificent and terrifying. The robot has been called the ‘future face of robotics’ and ‘the perfect humanoid robot platform for human-robot interaction.’
A video provided by the engineers shows the robot defends itself by grabbing a researcher's hand as it enters it's 'personal space'. According to the developers, even they were ‘freaked out’ by the machine’s behavior.
Engineered art also revealed a video of an extremely realistic Adran robot head with eerily human-like facial expressions and movements.
Humanoid robots are becoming reality, but what happens when these robots walk on the street or do security checks, for example at airports or if AI acts as a AI 'prosecutor' that can press its own charges, developed by Chinese scientists.
The 'AI prosecutor' can evaluate the strength of evidence, conditions for an arrest and how dangerous a suspect is considered to be to the public.
Researchers in China said that this machine can charge people with crimes using artificial intelligence. The "AI prosecutor" can file a charge with more than 97 per cent accuracy based on a verbal description of the case, according to the researchers.
Our fate will be in the hands of robots in the near future.

Exploring The World Of UFOS & Conspiracy Theorists (UFO Documentary)
Comedian Andrew Maxwell is taking five UFO believers who claim to have witnessed spacecraft from other galaxies, been attacked by UFOs, had close encounters with ETs, and believe an alien attack is imminent for a close encounter of the rational kind. He is going on an American road trip from Los Angeles to Area 51 to meet experts, eyewitnesses, and journalists to see if he can dispel the myths around UFO sightings. Absolute Documentaries brings you the best of entertaining and fascinating documentaries for free. Whether you’re into true crime, stories from around the world, family and social life, science, or psychology, we’ve got you covered with must-see full-length documentaries every week.
Humans are seeing more UFOs every year and NASA is recruiting priests
Humans are seeing more UFOs every year and NASA is recruiting priests
As the world witnesses more UFO sightings, here's how our history with it is changing NASA's recruitment process.
Weird features, larger than human eyes, short height, weird skin, different needs, this is what we remember about Jadoo, the cute, fictional alien who made a debut appearance in the Bollywood movie Koi Mil Gaya. Humankind has always been intrigued by extra-terrestials and their lives, and this movie just brought an alien closer home; to Bollywood, to be precise. (Of course, Hollywood has been getting aliens to Earth for more than 50 years now, since A Trip to the Moon, Aliens, etc.)
After these many years, it looks like reel-life items might possibly be true after all.
UFOs, also known as Unidentified Flying Objects, are a term for random incidents or objects in the air that cannot be explained because of lack of knowledge and technology. The number of UFO sightings reported over the years have been consistently increasing over certain parts of the world.

HISTORY
The first UFO that was witnessed on record was in 1639, by John Winthrop and many other men when they saw a large strange light going back and forth. Even Bible's Book of Ezekiel describes a mysterious ship appearing from the sky in Kuwait. Romans saw strange sightings back then and so did the 4th Century Chinese, who saw a "moon boat" floating over the country once every 12 years. Germans saw them in 1561 and the Britishers saw them during the World War II.

Though the first image of a UFO came only in 1870 from a sighting in New Hampshire, California and Florida have recorded the most number of UFO sightings in all these years, i.e, about 10,000 and 5,000 respectivey. Compared to this, Ireland's Police Department has recorded 4 sightings in 2019, 6 in 2020 and 8 in 2021. Looks like the UFOs are exploring new territories!
There were some who even saw these sightings in India in 1951. Read about it here.

SO WHAT DO THESE LOOK LIKE?
People have mentioned seeing a disc-type structure in the sky and naming it as ''a spaceship'' with flashing lights. Some have seen strange images on the CCTVs of homes while others have reported spotting 'unusual bright lights' in the sky. Some have seen a dome-shaped object with eight bright lights which move at a speed that was never known to exist. So if you get the gist, it's pretty advanced.

INTERESTING OBSERVATIONS
Almost 75% of all UFO sightings in the United States occur between 4 pm and midnight, and tend to peak between 9 and 10 pm.
WHAT AUTHORITIES ARE DOING
On June 25, 2021, the US National Intelligence released a UFO Report based on 144 UAP incidents (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) noted by military aviators over the last 2 years. As per this report, the government had limited and inconsistent data to conclude if aliens exist. This lack of data did not confirm existence of aliens but also did not remove the possibility of their existence. So... ho bhi sakta hai, aur nahi bhi.

CLASSIFIED INFO DECLASSIFIED
The US government had classified the information on UFO sightings all these years and declassified it in 2020 by releasing recorded videos to clarify the matter to the public at large. They are now open to talk about this since it removes the taboo around reporting UFO incidents and also shows that the authorities take this 'seriously'. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), on the other hand, just maintain a database about UFOs and unidentified aerial phenomena and have not really launched any investigation.
NASA IS UPDATING ITS RECRUITMENT STRATEGY
NASA, known to be the ultimate heaven for scientists, has recruited 24 theologians... meaning 24 people who have studied religion and religious beliefs about God. Why? The idea is to take the support of these heads as part of its efforts to determine how different religions around the world would react to contact with aliens. As reported by New York Post, Rev Dr Andrew Davison, a British priest and theologist at Cambridge University, is one of the 24 lucky ones.
What's interesting is how it coincides with the launch of James Webb Space Telescope, which is the most powerful telescope we have ever launched, to look at the oldest stars and galaxies that are capable of supporting life.
NASA clearly supports the exploration of a relationship between theology and astro-biology, and this recruitment is in line with its past actions. In 2014, NASA had granted $1.1 million to study worshippers’ interest and openness to scientific inquiry called the 'Societal Implications of Astrobiology Study'. This was to understand how religious beliefs and beliefs in existence of extra-terrestial aliens were linked.
Irrespective of what comes to awareness, only time will tell what exists in reality in this wide universe. Till then, Koi Mil Gaya and Netflix's "Top Secret UFO Projects: Declassified" are some stuff you can feast on.

Scientists baffled by mystery mummified 'alien' skeleton with cone-shaped head
By Graeme Murray
When the creature's bones were examined they were thought to be aged between six and eight years old. Its strange shaped skull, slanted eye sockets and ten ribs have bewildered scientists
A tiny mummy found in the desert has left scientists questioning its origins.
Nicknamed "Ata", the strange remains were discovered in the Atacama Desert in 2003.
When the creature's bones were examined they were thought to be aged between six and eight years old.
The skeleton's strange pointy shaped skull, slanted eye sockets and ten ribs have left many scientists bewildered..
Oscar Muño found the tiny remains in an abandoned church in La Noria, Chile
A leather pouch was found wrapped in a white cloth tied with a purple ribbon, but nothing suggested what it was.
This has led to speculation by ufologists convinced it is proof aliens exist.
The tiny skeleton mystified scientists
( Image: Sirius Disclosure)
The miniature body has 10 ribs rather than 12, which has also sparked speculation about where it was from.
UFO believers descended on the abandoned mining town where it was discovered.
A documentary called Sirius, wildly speculated it could belong to a tribe of alien visitors.
It was first thought to be ancient, but analysis in 2012 proved the tiny skeleton was actually from the 1970s.
Official records found no evidence of who the tiny mummy may have been
( Image: Sirius Disclosure)
Official records found no evidence of who the tiny mummy may have been but further tests found 8% of its DNA was not human.
Scientists claimed to have debunked alien theories in 2008 after tests at Stanford University, San Francisco and the University of California found the body died 40 years ago.
They said the female had several genetic conditions which stunted her growth including dwarfism and bone abnormalities.
They discovered the skeleton is believed to be a premature baby who died just after birth.

Garry Nolan, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine, reckons the research will benefit parents and provide clues for those with bone growth issues.
Dr Nolan analysed her case in 2012 after a friend said he might have found an alien.
He then told the Times : "This research clarifies what has been a very public and sensationalised story for a long time, and it was done out of a desire to bring some humanity to this discussion and dignity to the skeleton.
“The DNA and images come from remains that were not known to be human when the research began.
Scientists analysed the skeleton
(Image: Sirius Disclosure)
"It has long been known that this skeleton was privately held in Spain, without any allegations of criminal conduct as to how it was acquired."
But writing in the online magazine Etilmercurio, Cristina Dorador, from the University of Antofagasta, asked Chilean government to condemn the research.
She said: "We do not know how a little girl came to be buried next to the church in the abandoned town.
Scientists discovered the skeleton was female
( Image: Sirius Disclosure)
"We do not know if she was born alive, but we do know she was treated with care and love in her last moments, being carefully covered in a white cloth and a violet ribbon.
"From the presumed timeline of her death, it is likely that her mother probably is still alive. Given the amount of interest about the case in the media,
"It is also possible that the family has been forced to relive events from 40 years ago.
"But what is the fate of the girl of La Noria? A dark drawer in some place in Europe."

Mummy of Amenhotep I is 'digitally unwrapped' for the first time: CT scans reveal the Egyptian Pharaoh was some 35 years old, 5'7" and circumcised when he died 3,000 years ago
Mummy of Amenhotep I is 'digitally unwrapped' for the first time: CT scans reveal the Egyptian Pharaoh was some 35 years old, 5'7" and circumcised when he died 3,000 years ago
Amenhotep I ruled Egypt from around 1525 to 1504 BCE, during the 18th dynasty
He was later unwrapped and carefully restored by priests in the 11th century BCE
Modern Egyptologists have never dared open him, as he is so well-preserved
In what is less of a Christmas present and more of a macabre past, the mummified remains of the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep I have been digitally 'unwrapped'.
Amenhotep I — the second ruler of Egypt's 18th Dynasty — is thought to have died around 1506–1504 BCE, at which point he was painstakingly preserved.
Unlike all the other royal mummies unearthed in the 19th and 20th centuries, that of Amenhotep I has never been unwrapped by modern Egyptologists.
This is not in fear of a curse, but because the specimen is so beautifully preserved — decorated with floral garlands and an exquisite facemask inset with precious stones
University of Cairo-led experts, however, were able to use computed tomography (CT) scans to create 3D reconstructions of the man underneath the bandages.
They found that the beloved pharaoh was 35 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall and circumcised when he died some three millennia ago.
This is not the first time Amenhotep I has been 'opened', however — he was actually unwrapped, restored and reburied in the 11th century BCE by 21st dynasty priests.
They reburied him at Deir el-Bahari in southern Egypt, where he was discovered along with a number of other restored royal mummies in 1881.

ABOUT AMENHOTEP I
Amenhotep I was the second pharaoh of Egypt's 18th Dynasty and ruled from around 1525 to 1504 BCE.
His reign came in the wake of his father Ahmose I's expulsion of the Hyksos invaders and successful reunification Egypt — and represented something of a golden age for ancient Egypt.
Not only was the 'New Kingdom' both prosperous and secure, but Amenhotep I also oversaw a religious building spree and successful military campaigns against both Libya and northern Sudan.
Amenhotep's name meant 'Amun is satisfied’ — referring to the ancient Egyptian god of the air.
'The fact that Amenhotep I's mummy had never been unwrapped in modern times gave us a unique opportunity,' explained paper author and radiologist Sahar Saleem of Cairo University and the Egyptian Mummy Project.
It allowed the team, he added,' not just to study how he had originally been mummified and buried, but also how he had been treated and reburied twice, centuries after his death, by High Priests of Amun.
'By digitally unwrapping of the mummy and "peeling off" its virtual layers — the facemask, the bandages, and the mummy itself — we could study this well-preserved pharaoh in unprecedented detail.
'We show that Amenhotep I was approximately 35 years old when he died. He was approximately 169cm [5'7''] tall, circumcised and had good teeth.'
'Within his wrappings, he wore 30 amulets and a unique golden girdle with gold beads,' Professor Saleem continued.
'Amenhotep I seems to have physically resembled his father — he had a narrow chin, a small narrow nose, curly hair and mildly protruding upper teeth.
'We couldn’t find any wounds or disfigurement due to disease to justify the cause of death, except numerous mutilations post mortem, presumably by grave robbers after his first burial.
'His entrails had been removed by the first mummifiers, but not his brain or heart.'

Records in the form of hieroglyphic writings have indicated that its was common during the later 21st dynasty for priests to restore and re-bury mummies from earlier dynasties in order to repair the damage done to them by grave robbers.
Professor Saleem and her Egyptologist colleague Zahi Hawass of Antiquities of Egypt, however, had speculated that these 11th century BCE priests had an ulterior motive in opening centuries old mummies — to re-use royal burial equipment.
However, their latest findings seem to counter that hypothesis.
'We show that — at least for Amenhotep I — the priests of the 21st dynasty lovingly repaired the injuries inflicted by the tomb robbers,' said Professor Saleem.
In fact, the restorers appeared to have returned the mummy 'to its former glory and preserved the magnificent jewellery and amulets in place.'

Pictured: a CT scan of Amenhotep I's lower torso. The team believe that he was originally buried with his arms crossed in front of his body, however it appears that damage by grave robbers has dislocated his right arm and broken two fingers from his left hand. These can be seen inside his abdomen (long arrow), while a pin (short arrow) has been used —presumably by 21sy dynasty restorers — to hold the left arm in its new position
Professor Saleem and Dr Hawass have studied more than 40 royal mummies dating back to ancient Egypt's New Kingdom (16th–11th centuries BCE) as part of an Egyptian Antiquity Ministry Project launched back in 2005.
'CT imaging can be profitably used in anthropological and archaeological studies on mummies, including those from other civilizations, for example Peru,' the duo said.

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCANS EXPLAINED
Computed tomography (CT) scans use an x-ray beam to produce cross-sectional images of an object.
They are used in medical settings to peer inside the human body, as well as in scientific research to examine artefacts without damaging them.
When the imaging process is taking place, the x-ray tube continuously emits an x-ray beam and is rotating in a 360 degree circle in a device called a gantry.
While this is happening, the patient or object is placed on a special CT imaging table that lets the x-ray beam pass through.
The x-ray beam is shaped similar to a hand-held fan and is often described as a fan beam.
There are multiple digital detectors located within this circular gantry that continually identify the energy of the x-ray photons that exit the object or person.
The motion of the table moving through the gantry allows images to be reconstructed as slices (or tomographs).
With the holidays over, some parents may be reviewing the experience and planning ahead for ways to better hide presents from their inquisitive children. If your kid is a budding archeologist … good luck. The mummified body of Pharaoh Amenhotep I had been hidden for thousands of years in Egypt, then locked up for decades away from those who wished to unwrap it because of its beautiful yet fragile flower garlands and lifelike facemask inset with colorful stones. That changed recently when Egyptian archeologists and scientists used three-dimensional medical CT (computed tomography) scanners to ‘digitally unwrap’ the mummy of Amenhotep I and reveal contents that were better than they ever expected.

“This fact that Amenhotep I’s mummy had never been unwrapped in modern times gave us a unique opportunity: not just to study how he had originally been mummified and buried, but also how he had been treated and reburied twice, centuries after his death, by High Priests of Amun.”
In the press release announcing the scan, whose details were published in Frontiers of Medicine, Dr. Sahar Saleem, professor of radiology at the Faculty of Medicine at Cairo University and radiologist on the Egyptian Mummy Project, first reminds us that Amenhotep I had been unwrapped and rewrapped in the 11th century BCE, possibly because the tomb had been looted by grave robbers. That was 400 years after his reign from 1525 BCE to 1504 BCE. His original tomb was eventually destroyed for renovations to his mortuary temple and has never been positively identified. The mummy was found in 1881 with other reburied royal family members and has been kept safe and unwrapped ever since.
“We show that Amenhotep I was approximately 35 years old when he died. He was approximately 169cm tall, circumcised, and had good teeth. Within his wrappings, he wore 30 amulets and a unique golden girdle with gold beads.”
They could see he had been circumcised! That’s a tribute to the priests who performed the mummification, those who did the restoration, and the power of modern CT scanning. Saleem says Amenhotep I physically resembled his father, Ahmose I – bearing his narrow chin and nose, curly hair and protruding upper teeth. The scan showed post-mortem mutilations possibly made by the grave robbers but no cause of death at age 35. The scan showed him buried with 30 amulets and a unique golden girdle with gold beads befitting his status in death as a god. The fact that the priests who reburied Amenhotep I with his jewels in place was both a tribute to his status and a tribute to the priests, who many archeologists thought had repurposed such burial items for other later leaders.

Are your packages safe from budding young Egyptologists? Dr. Saleem doesn’t think so.
“We show that CT imaging can be profitably used in anthropological and archeological studies on mummies, including those from other civilizations, for example Peru.”

Air Force bases have always attracted odd stories and conspiracies to them, and this seems to be true across the globe. MoD Boscombe Down is an air base on the outskirts of the town of Amesbury in Wiltshire, England, and the home of a military aircraft testing site owned by the MOD, the Ministry of Defence. Built in 1917, it was used by the British Aircraft and Armament Evaluation Establishment (AAEE) from 1939, and is currently operated by operated by a private military contractor called QinetiQ, which was created as part of the breakup of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) in 2001. It has always been heavily involved in flight testing and weapons development, and like many other bases of its kind, it has had its fair share of conspiracies swirling about it, and although its official capacity is evaluating aircraft used by the British Armed Forces, there have long been rumors of dark secret projects and UFOs, making it often referred to as “Britain’s Area 51.”
One of the many weird tales surrounding the base began on September 22, 1994, when numerous locals of the area reported hearing a very anomalous sound “like a freight train or a low-frequency rumbling or humming.” Although the base had many aircraft coming and going all the time, this sound was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before, strange enough to get people talking. All inquiries to the base were met with silence, and as far as the RAF was concerned, nothing strange had happened at all. Then, on September 26th 1994, something truly odd went down at Boscombe Down. On this evening an unknown aircraft malfunction occurred on Runway 23, either a crash or flight abortion, and the runway was immediately shut down and swiftly descended upon by military personnel. In addition, the main highway, the A303, that runs into Boscombe Down, was also completely closed off. Eyewitnesses would claim that the mysterious aircraft had been promptly covered with by a frame and tarpaulins, as a hive of activity and emergency vehicles swarmed around it. The response was incredibly fast and urgent for just a mere flight malfunction, and witnesses who actually saw the events playing out would say that the covered aircraft was partially visible under its coverings, charcoal grey in color, with an oddly elevated rear section, a canopy that appeared to hinge forward at the front, and inward canting twin fins at its rear section. This was about the best look anyone could get of it before the aircraft was quickly locked within a hangar.

It all had the feel of something very hush hush, which was only made stronger when the next day U.K. special operations forces and two special operations aircraft arrived at the base, described as an Agusta A109 helicopter from the British Army’s 8 Flight AAC, and a Chinook from the RAF’s No. 7 Squadron, which witnesses would claim had seemed be securing the area as activity continued on the runway that looked like some sort of intense cleanup operation. The special operations helicopters tirelessly circled the area for several days as the activity on the ground continued, and in the meantime some other aircraft arrived as well. One of these was a USAF C-12 Huron, used by the DoD for air transport, and another was an unmarked Boeing 707, its origins unknown. What were all of these aircraft up to? Perhaps most unusual of all was a Boeing 737/T-43 which had the distinctive red and white markings of planes operated by the private contractor EG&G, who were most known for carrying out an array of black project clandestine flights for various aerospace companies and the military, as well as for running the planes that carried employees to and from the mysterious Groom Lake facility and Tonopah Test Range Airport, near Las Vegas, Nevada, both of which have plenty of their own conspiracies swirling around them.
Not long after this, a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy transport plane from the United States Air Force, in this case modified in order hold oversized cargo, arrived and allegedly was loaded with an unidentifiable tarpaulin-covered object from within the hangar and supposedly flown off towards the mysterious USAF Plant 42 Airport, known as a cutting-edge military aircraft manufacturing facility for various contractors including Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works and others. It would later be found that this plane had been suddenly diverted to Boscombe from its original flight plan to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Even after the mysterious cargo was whisked away, Boscombe Down would continue to be frequented by various government aircraft, such as a plane registered with the CIA that arrived under heavy security.
It is clear that something very big went down at Boscombe Down, attracting the attention of the RAF, USAF, the CIA, and who knows who else, but it has never been clear just what that may have been. Researchers Ren Hoek and Marco Van der Welk would investigate the strange incident for two years, culminating in a March 1997 cover story in Air Forces Monthly, but they were never able to get to the bottom of what was really going on. Just about the only thing they could say for sure was that there as “no doubt that an incident did happen on the day in question and it has never been satisfactorily explained by the authorities.” The governments involved have not helped make anything clearer. Both the British Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Defense Department have always denied that the incident occurred, and have claimed that there were no flights of any sort of test aircraft on the night in question. So, what are we dealing with here?
One idea put forward by Hoek and Van der Welk is that this was some sort of very advanced top secret experimental reconnaissance aircraft, according to them most likely what is called the ASTRA (Advanced Stealth Reconnaissance Aircraft), a mysterious theoretical aircraft that has never been confirmed to actually exist but has been rumored for a long time in conspiracy circles. The ASTRA has often been blamed for sightings around the UK of mysterious “black triangle” UFOs that have never been explained, as have other alleged top-secret aircraft being supposedly developed at around the same time. One of these is the Hypersonic Aurora Spy-plane, as well as the so-called TR-3A “Black Manta,” purportedly a subsonic stealthy tactical reconnaissance aircraft. Of course, both the RAF and USAF have denied that any such aircraft have ever existed. Other theories are that the object at Boscombe may have been captured foreign tech or even a crashed UFO. The site The War Zone has done much in-depth research on the incident, filing various Freedom of Information Act requests and also speaking to author andNick Cook, who was the aviation editor at Jane’s Defense Weekly at the time and one of the first to break the story, who would say of the incident:
I definitely think something happened. The C-5 definitely came into Boscombe Down. I didn’t talk to the witnesses directly but I read enough witness testimony to say they saw something with a tarpaulin on it on the runway. It had to have been American or have had some American lineage in it in order for the C-5 to have turned up. There were quite a few rumors of joint black programs between the U.S. and the U.K. at the time. There was a lot of the Aurora stuff knocking around at the time but I don’t think it was Aurora. It sounded smaller, tactical, deployable, F-117-like. That sort of size. Certainly, something happened. What it was, I have no idea.
To this day, no one is really sure just what, if anything, went down that Autumn night in 1994 at Boscombe Down. What was that craft that was being so secretly whisked away and hidden? What was the meaning of all of those aircraft from different agencies descending upon the base in the wake of the incident, and just what did that cargo plane carry off? Was this some sort of highly sensitive and experimental aircraft or something else? No one really knows, and the incident at Boscombe Down remains an impenetrable mystery.
A team of astronomers have found at least 70 planets wandering around space without a host star. Located approximately 420 light-years away from us, this cluster of rogue planets is by far the largest group that has ever been discovered.
Since the majority of planets are detected by gravitational tugs on their host stars or by stellar brightness dips by them passing in front of them (this is known as transiting), the fact that so many worlds have been found without a star is absolutely incredible as they are very hard to spot.
In fact, the manner in which rogue planets are normally found is by a technique known as gravitational microlensing where the planets move in front of stars located in the background. Interestingly, that is not how the astronomers found these new rogue planets. Instead, they studied data and imagery collected over a 20-year period by several ground and space telescopes that include the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, Japan’s Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, the European Space Agency’s Gaia Spacecraft, and the Dark Energy Camera on the 4-meter Victor M. Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.
(Not any of the planets mentioned in this article.)
According to their study, the astronomers detected infrared energy being produced by 70 to 170 giant gas rogue planets. The exact number is still in question as there are several variables that need to be looked at first, such as the objects that are at least thirteen times larger than Jupiter that are probably not planets and are more than likely brown dwarfs (or “failed stars”). Additionally, they have not calculated the masses of the exoplanets as of yet.
In a statement, Núria Miret-Roig, who is an astronomer at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux in France and the University of Vienna in Austria, said, “We did not know how many to expect and are excited to have found so many.” “We measured the tiny motions, the colors and luminosities of tens of millions of sources in a large area of the sky.” “These measurements allowed us to securely identify the faintest objects in this region, the rogue planets.”
And a lot more research needs to be conducted, such as how rogue planets are formed – are they created all alone in space, or were they once part of a solar system but somehow got ejected?
(Not any of the planets mentioned in this article.)
This new discovery seems to suggest that there could possibly be a lot more rogue planets in our Milky Way Galaxy than previously thought and they may even be more common than planets that have host stars. But it’s just a thought for now as that hypothesis has not been proven. A photo of some of the rogue planets can be viewed here.
This artist's impression shows an example of a rogue planet detected in the Rho Ophiuchi region, where ESO observations have recently helped uncover at least 70 of these objects. Rogue planets have masses comparable to those of the planets in our solar system but do not orbit a star, instead roaming freely on their own.
Pinwheel Style Alien Craft Over Nuclear Plant In Ontario Canada
Sketch of Pinwheel Object Being Approached by Red Light Over Nuclear Plant.
Date of Sighting: December of 1971
Date Sighting Reported: July 28, 2008
Location of Sighting: Over Nuclear Power Plant in Pickering, Ontario, Canada (See Map) Latitude: 43.84 Degrees North Longitude: 79.08 Degrees West Number of Witnesses: One
Description:
I haven’t spoke of it until now. There was one other boy that saw it because he ran out on to the street to see if anyone else saw what I did. His description matched mine. It was in November or December of 1971. I lived as close as one could to the Pickering Nuclear Plant in Ontario, Canada. I’m not sure how long the Plant was up and running. (I would estimate that it had been running 4 or 5 years.) What I saw was this: It was outside the atmosphere, that I could tell. It was at night so it stood out against the sky. It looked like a pinwheel fireworks. It was still and spinning, throwing out what looked like sparks or light tails? It had me mesmerized until in my peripheral to the right I noticed a single red light. I dismissed it and continued watching it. The red light began moving towards the pinwheel from a great distance very slowly from my point of view. At first I thought it was a plane, but there was no sound. As I watched it further it appeared to be approaching this pinwheel. And at the very moment it came in contact they both vanished. The red dot was much smaller against the pinwheel. So, that’s what I saw. Any ideas?
Comments:
Unusual aerial activity has been reported over other nuclear plants and over nuclear weapons facilities. I have no idea what the witness sighted. Given that the date of the sighting is unknown and that the sighting is over 35 years old little investigation can be performed.

Planet X & the Book of Enoch Relation Banned From the Bible
Planet X & the Book of Enoch Relation Banned From the Bible
In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books – The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables, The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions, and The Epistles of Enoch – containing some 100 chapters. These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch in the Book of Genesis – Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah, the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah’s Ark.
Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. In fact, the Book of Enoch provides an entirely different recounting of the events leading up to the Great Flood of Noah’s time, that is, a completely different doctrinal history. It tells a story of the Watchers, explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels, sent to earth to watch over humans at some undefined and ancient point in time. Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans, these Watchers became infatuated by human women, and in short order, began to engage in depraved sexual acts with them. The Book of Enoch tells of the children born through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans, called the Nephilim.
These Nephilim were as described: “giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,” or, said another way, “supernatural, man-eating giants.” Angered with what the Watchers had done, those described as gods chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth. Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.
In reviewing the Roswell, New Mexico “alien” crash of 1947, there’s a contradiction hiding in plain sight for those who believe aliens are fallen angels. During the infamous autopsy film of the two beings who were found at the crash site, it became obvious they were not the dead bodies of humans, but a hybrid of some sort
Angels have a celestial body and are immortal. Therefore, the Roswell crash victims could not have been angels. I believe they were not human nor angelic, but a combination of both. An interdimensional hybrid being, which is the result of a breeding program instituted by fallen angels.
Not only do fallen angels continue to mate with human women to this very day. They’ve been passing their forbidden knowledge to the Luciferian elite, who control this fallen world. In the Book of Enoch it is disclosed the fallen angels educated man in the secrets of the esoteric religion including sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. (Enoch 7:10) They also taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, the fabrication of mirrors, and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, the use of stones of every valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes, and our knowledge of these things caused the world to become altered and corrupted. (Enoch 8:1-2) And they taught men every kind of iniquity upon earth, and disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens. (Enoch 9:5) The whole world was corrupted by their knowledge and God pronounced judgment upon those angels for this crime. (Enoch 10:12)
And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; (Jude 1:
The secrets of their origin and future incursion may are also found in the ancient texts of The Book Of The Secrets Of Enoch, The Book Of Jubilees, The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs and The Book Of Giants.
For seventy generations, the dark angels have been imprisoned in the second heaven of the fourth dimension. And in the Abyss, thirty-six-hundred miles below the surface of the earth, included in their rank are the two-hundred Watcher angels – aka Grigori – who descended on Mount Hermon, putting on a garment of flesh and procreating with female images.
Genesis 6, verse 4, says, “There were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them. The same became mighty men, which were of old, men of renown.”
The Book of Enoch, Chapter 7 says, “It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamored of them, saying to each other, ‘Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.’”
The Book of Jubilees, Chapter 5 says, “And it came to pass when the children of men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the angels of God saw them on a certain year of this jubilee, that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants.”
The Book of Enoch, Chapter 7, Verse 2 says, “Wherefore have you forsaken the lofty and holy heaven, and have lain with women; have defiled yourselves with the daughters of men; have taken to yourselves wives; have acted like the sons of the earth, and have begotten an impious offspring?”
The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs: Testament of Reuben, Chapter 2, Verses 18-19 says, “For thus they allured the Watchers who were before the flood; for as these continually beheld them, they lusted after them and they conceived the act in their mind; for they changed themselves into the shape of men, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands. And the women lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watcher appeared to them as reaching even unto the heaven.”
Ezekiel 23:20 says, “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emissions was like that of horses.”
Moses, Enoch, Ruben and Ezekiel each describe a giant race of satanically-inspired hybrids known as the Nephilim: half-dark angel, half-human. They were created for the singular purpose of corrupting the DNA genome code of humans and preventing a future offer of redemption from God.
Before the fall, Adam and Eve reflected the Ancient of Day’s perfect triple-helix DNA genome code, wearing their spirits externally and bodies internally. After their expulsion from Eden, both were downgraded to a perishable double-helix DNA genome code, displaying their bodies externally and their spirits internally.
The Testaments of The Twelve Patriarchs: The Testament of Naphtali, Chapter 1, Verse 27 says, “In like manner the Watchers also changed the order of nature, whom the Lord cursed at the flood, on whose account He made the earth without inhabitants an fruitless.”
God creates within a framework of three. When Adam and Eve fell, their systemic triple-helix DNA code transmuted from three strands into two. One whole comprised of three became two-thirds of one… or sixty-six-point-six percent of one…… Six, Six, Six. The number of an image. It’s the third strand of DNA code that enables images to telepathically communicate with The Demiurge and trans-relocate into the ten dimensions or heavens without the obstacle of time and space.
Every human contains a scroll of DNA determining their physicality, intellect and emotions. Forty-six chromosomes from the father and mother form one individual set containing a double helix DNA genome code. This physical testimony and record of the parents’ lives has been passed down and preserved since the deluge. Prior to the flood, the Ancient of Days initiated the DNA destruction of the Nephilim by turning them against each other through mutual slaughter.
The Book of Enoch, Chapter 10, Verse 13 says, “To Gabriel also the Lord said, ‘Go to the biters, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication and destroy the children of fornication, the offspring of the watchers, from among men. Bring them forth, and excite them on against another. Let them perish by mutual slaughter; for the length of days shall not be theirs.’” The Ancient of Days then forced the Watchers to observe the slaughter of their progeny, the Nephilim.
The Book of Enoch, Chapter 12, Verses 5-7 says, “Then the Lord said to me, Enoch, scribe of righteousness, ‘Go tell the watchers of heaven, who have deserted the lofty sky, and their holy everlasting station, who have been polluted with women and have done as the sons of men do, by taking to themselves wives, and who have been greatly corrupted on the earth; That on the earth they shall never obtain peace and remission of sin. For they shall not rejoice in their offspring; they shall behold the slaughter of their beloved; shall lament for the destruction of their sons; and shall petition for ever; but shall not obtain mercy and peace.’” These satanically-inspired hybrids consumed all vegetation, animals, images, and finally each other.
The Book of Enoch, Chapter 7, Verse 2-5 says, “The women became pregnant and gave birth to giants, four-hundred and fifty feet tall. They ate the labors of men. As they were unable to supply them, the giants grew bold against them and devoured the men. They began to sin against birds, animals, reptiles and fish, and to eat the flesh of each other. And they drank the blood.”
The Book of Giants 1Q23 Frag 1&6 says, “Two-hundred donkeys, two-hundred asses, two hundred rams of the flock, two-hundred goats, two-hundred beasts of the field from every animal., from every bird were selected for miscegeneration (interbreeding).
The Book of Giants 4Q531 Frag. 2 says, “they defiled…they begot giants and monsters…they begot, and, behold, all the earth was corrupted…”
The Book of Jubilees, Chapter 5, Verse 2 says, “And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike man and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walketh on the earth- all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually.”
Engaging in beastiality, the Nephilim produced multiple varieties of chimeras and monsters. The satyr, griffin and faun were not fictional mutants of Greek mythology, but actual historical abominations. Tales of the Titans in Sumerian, Egyptian, and Roman civilizations are further evidence of the Nephilim’s incursion before and after the deluge.
The Nephilim maintained their power by human blood sacrifices, becoming the first DNA genome code carriers of Black Goo Programmable Matter, the sentient agent of infection found in the bowels of the Abyss, and contained within the apple that transmuted Adam and Eve from incorruptible to corruptible.
Goliath was allegedly thirteen feet tall. Can you expect me to believe that the pre-flood giants were four-hundred and fifty feet tall? . Consider the red kangaroo. Weighing only three-one-hundredths of an ounce at birth, it grows to an adult weight of one-hundred and eighty pounds, an increase of ninety-six thousand times its birth weight. In a similar fashion, the weight of a Nephilim is comparable to an infant.
However, it was the corrupted seed of the Watcher angel that precipitated the exponential growth after birth. Nephilim are eternal beings. Although their mortal bodies died in the flood, the disembodied spirits exist today as fierce, terrestrial spirits known as demons, whose purpose is to torment and destroy.
The Book of Enoch, Chapter 15, Verses 8-10 says, “Now the giants, who have been called upon earth evil spirits, shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born on earth. The spirits of the giants shall be like clouds, which shall oppress, corrupt, fall, contend, and bruise upon earth. They shall cause lamentation. No food shall they eat; and they shall be thirsty; they shall be concealed, and shall not rise up against the sons of men, and against women; for they come forth during the days of slaughter and destruction.”
Without hope, demons feed off the generational destruction of images and animals. Whether cast out or forced to leave after the death of its victim, demons will continue to seek another host. My minions are restricted to two locations: the third dimension of the first heaven, and Hell, which is thirty-six hundred miles below the surface of my flat earth.
Luke Chapter 11, Verse 24 says, “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then is says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’”
Pre-flood vegetation was abnormally large. During the Antediluvian, pre-deluge age, images lived hundreds of years. Multiply the size of an average redwood tree by five and you’ll have an idea of the landscape from Adam to Noah. Prior to the flood, thousands of forests were packed with giant silicon trees reaching into the clouds. Pre-flood trees were the first organic skyscrapers. Today, the desert rock landscapes are the remains of these giant silicon forests. Before the deluge, millions of Nephilim quarried all of the giant forests with their insatiable appetite.
Finally, when all of the vegetation and animals were depleted, the Nephilim resorted to consuming images and each other. Observing the carnage from the third Heaven, the arc angels submitted their petition to the Ancient of Days. Judgment and the deluge followed. Because their double-helix DNA genome code wasn’t tainted with Black Goo, only Noah and his family were spared from annihilation.
Genesis Chapter 6, Verse 9 says, “Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with The One.” Perfect in his generations goes a lot deeper. Here is a description of Noah’s birth. Get ready for your theology to be rocked.
The Book of Enoch, Chapter 105, Verses 1-4 & 15-16 says, “After a time, my son Mathusala took a wife for his son Lamech. She became pregnant by him, and brought forth a child, the flesh of which was as white as snow, and red as a rose; the hair of whose head was white like wool, and long; and whose eyes were beautiful. When he opened them, he illuminated all the house, like the sun; the whole house abounded with light. And when he was taken from the hand of the midwife, opening also his mouth, he spoke to the Lord of righteousness. Then Lamech his father was afraid of him; and flying away, came to his own father Mathusala, and said, ‘I have begotten a son, unlike to other children. He is not human, but resembling the offspring of the angels of heaven, is of a different nature from ours, being altogether unlike to us. His eyes are bright as the rays of the sun; his countenance glorious, and he looks not as if he belonged to me, but to the angels.’ ‘This child, which is born to you, shall survive on the earth, and his three sons shall be saved with him. When all mankind who are on the earth shall die, he shall be safe. And his posterity shall beget on the earth giants, not spiritual, but carnal. Upon the earth shall a great punishment be inflicted, and it shall be washed from all corruption. Now therefore inform thy son Lemech that he who is born is his child in truth: and he call his name Noah, for he shall be to you a survivor.’”
Despite an acute awareness of the consequences, the Watcher angels procreated with female images in a corrupted alchemical mix of mortal and immortal.
The Book of Enoch, Chapter 7, Verses 3-7 says, “Then their leader Samyaza said to them, ‘I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise; and that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime.’ But they answered him and said, ‘We all swear and bind ourselves by mutual execrations that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking.’ Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their number was two hundred, who descended up ardis, which is the top of mount armon.”
Enoch the scribe communicated the Watchers’ supplication before the Ancient of Days, who rejected their request for grace. The Watchers/Grigori witnessed their Nephilim offspring perish in the flood as they were cast into the great darkness of the second heaven for seventy generations. The end of seventieth generation is upon us.
The Book of the Secrets of Enoch, Chapter 18, Verse 3 says, “And they said to me, ‘These are the Grigori, who with their prince Sananail rejected the Lord of light, and after them are those who are held in great darkness on the second heaven. And three of them went down on to earth from the Lord’s throne to the place Ermon, and broke their vows on the shoulder of the hill Eron and saw the daughters of men how good they are, and took to themselves wives, and befouled the earth with their deeds, who in all times of their age made lawlessness and mixing, and giants are born and marvellous big men and great enmity.’”
The Book of Daniel, Chapter 9, Werse 27 states that the seventieth week is reserved for my rule over the flat earth. “He will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven.” One set of seven is seven years. The Ancient of Days designated four-hundred and ninety years

This Drone Accidentally Found An Abandoned Area & Just Made A Historical Important Discovery via Unexplained Mysteries
This drone accidentally found an abandoned area & just made a historical important discovery. Today, we take a look at what this drone accidentally found while flying above this area.
The world as we know it can change at any moment, not just because we make new inventions or may have a pandemic interrupt our lives, but also because with each new discovery and finding we make, we change just a little bit of what we thought we knew.
Whether that is finding lost cities in archaeological digs, finding explanations for strange phenomena, or answering questions that have long left us puzzled.
Thank you for watching! Thank you to CO.AG for the background music!
Aliens among us. Many of us have heard stories about abductions and even about many species of aliens that live among us. Some look like us with human form, others don't and they must use their technology to disguise themselves as one of us. Most aliens work in influential positions, but some prefer to work in the tech area thinking that it would be the best way to improve humanity...through technology.
Here we see President Obama giving a speech from last year at the Washington Convention Center. As the TV camera pans across the crowd we see several Secret Service agents keeping watch...one of which looks to be an alien that many are calling a reptilian species.
Digital cameras are known to see more than the human eye and can also reach far beyond into other spectrums of light allowing the camera to see the true image. For instance an infrared lens on a Sony camcorder allows you to see invisible orbs or UFOs very clearly in the sky during the day, but you will almost never see these objects with your eyes. Perhaps this is what happened to the alien working as a Secret Service agent for Obama.
It really does make sense. Place an alien close to Obama at all times in order to help protect him and to manipulate his thoughts and actions through telepathy. The US Presidents...may just a puppets. SCW

Huge bright UFOs appearing & disappearing over Odessa, Ukraine 25-Dec-2021
Huge bright UFOs appearing & disappearing over Odessa, Ukraine 25-Dec-2021
This really interesting UFO video was filmed in the sky above Odessa, a port city on the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. Huge bright UFO lights are appearing and disappearing over the city on 25th December 2021.
Witness report:
When I was driving home from work, I noticed a strange light in the sky and decided to stop and watch. The objects were, according to my reference point, above the sea in the water area of the city of Odessa, not far from the port of Odessa, Ukraine.

Two linked UFOs over Irvine, California | 17 December 2021
2 linked lights were filmed over Irvine, California on 17th December 2021.
Witness report:
Taking a walk at night and saw 2 bright lights pulsing towards the SW. I watched for approx 5 mins and thought they were stationary and did not appear to be commercial, military or private planes or helicopters. I started to film but street light was affecting the view. I moved so the light was behind me. I thought the lights were side by side but they began moving. Very slowly, and never broke formation. I realized they were not side by side, one was in front and one was rear. I had been looking at the lights from a side view. It passed nearly overhead. I did not see a visible body of a craft, no wings, no sound. It was moving slow. The lights never changed proximity to each other. I absolutely think it was one craft. I watched it go over until it was out of view. It was approx 30 mins total. I live close to an Airport and see all types of planes and helicopters from different angles and elevations. I can always hear them and they move faster and are much smaller. I have never see anything like this. I uploaded the videos in chronological order. From seeing the lights in the distance to when it flew over me. I also found a video online of this. It was filmed by someone south of me close to the Mexico border. It was posted the next day. I suspect it may be the same.

Dark Forest Theory Explains Why Aliens Are Hiding From Us
Dark Forest Theory Explains Why Aliens Are Hiding From Us
There are about 200 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets in our Milky Way galaxy. Drake’s equation, which takes into account these and other factors, including the likelihood of life on earth and the likelihood of intelligent life, suggests that there are probably about 20 advanced civilizations in our galaxy.
Why have we still not found any traces (at least officially recognized) of these civilizations, despite all our attempts to send them messages and the development of our astronomical science?
The Fermi paradox asks the same question, marveling at the absence of visible traces of the activities of alien civilizations, which should have settled throughout the entire Universe over the billions of years of its development.
There are many theories trying to explain this. Some say that life in general is a very rare phenomenon and that life on Earth developed only as a result of an extremely rare combination of circumstances. Others say that the development of man as an intelligent creature is an anomaly and it is unlikely that this will happen elsewhere, even if there are all conditions for plants and animals.
And then there is the Dark Forest theory, which was developed in the science fiction novel “Dark Forest” by Chinese writer Liu Cixin.
The novel’s plot, the second in the trilogy, revolves around how to interact with potentially hostile alien species.
The novel sets out the following arguments:
Life, and especially the developed life, carefully wants to survive.
It is impossible to know in advance if other life forms can destroy you if given the chance.
In the absence of guarantees of survival, the safest option for any kind of living creatures is to destroy potentially dangerous life forms before they can do the same to them.
Each space civilization seeks to expand infinitely, but the amount of resources in each galaxy is not infinite, so all civilizations capable of interstellar travel become rivals for the same resources.
Thus, each civilization A, having learned about the existence of another sufficiently developed civilization B, cannot be completely sure that it will not become its enemy. It cannot even rely on the technological lag of civilization B, because science and technology are developing exponentially and can overtake those of civilization A.
Therefore, every civilization, the technology of which allows to destroy other civilizations, will destroy all civilizations that it learns about, so as not to become a victim of such an attack itself.
This explains the Fermi paradox – highly developed civilizations simply do their best not to disclose the fact of their existence, because disclosure will inevitably entail an attack on them.
In Liu Cixin’s novel, one of the main characters Luo Ji refers to this as the Dark Forest Theory, using the metaphor of a forest full of hiding hunters attacking any beast that betrays itself.
In order not to betray themselves, the developed space civilization will keep strict radio silence and, probably, their ships will not plow the vastness of the galaxy in search of resources or something else.
They can also try with all possible forces to hide the traces of the existence of their planet. This theory is so logical and plausible that since the release of Liu Cixin’s novel, many scientists have seriously discussed it. And the theory scared them with the knowledge of what we had done.
For almost a hundred years now, we have been sending radio signals into space, indicating the existence of intelligent life on our planet, and all potential alien civilizations that are from us within a radius of 100 light years have received these signals without a doubt. They know about us.
At one time, the late theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking was also very afraid of this and opposed sending any information about earthlings into space.
If we have not yet been attacked, it is only because the civilizations that have learned about us are also afraid of us, not knowing our real level of technical development, and do not want to betray themselves and doom to destruction. But what if our signals reach the predatory conquerors?
Researchers in China say they have achieved a world first by developing a machine that can charge people with crimes using artificial intelligence.
The AI "prosecutor" can file a charge with more than 97 per cent accuracy based on a verbal description of the case, according to the researchers.
The machine was built and tested by the Shanghai Pudong People's Procuratorate, the country's largest and busiest district prosecution office.
The technology could reduce prosecutors' daily workload, allowing them to focus on more difficult tasks, according to Professor Shi Yong, director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' big data and knowledge management laboratory, who is the project's lead scientist.
"The system can replace prosecutors in the decision-making process to a certain extent," said Shi and his colleagues in a paper published this month in the domestic peer-reviewed journal Management Review.
The application of AI technology in law enforcement has been increasing around the world.
Some German prosecutors have used AI technology such as image recognition and digital forensics to increase case processing speed and accuracy.
China's prosecutors were early adopters when they began using AI in 2016. Many of them now use an AI tool known as System 206.
The tool can evaluate the strength of evidence, conditions for an arrest and how dangerous a suspect is considered to be to the public.
But all existing AI tools have a limited role, because "they do not participate in the decision-making process of filing charges and [suggesting] sentences", Shi and colleagues said.
Making such decisions would require a machine to identify and remove any contents of a case file that are irrelevant to a crime, without removing the useful information.
The machine would also need to convert complex, ever-changing human language into a standard mathematical or geometric format that a computer could understand.
China's internet companies have developed powerful tools for natural language processing, but their operation often requires large computers that prosecutors do not have access to.
The AI prosecutor developed by Shi's team could run on a desktop computer.
For each suspect, it would press a charge based on 1,000 "traits" obtained from the human-generated case description text, most of which are too small or abstract to make sense to humans. System 206 would then assess the evidence.
The machine was "trained" using more than 17,000 cases from 2015 to 2020. So far, it can identify and press charges for Shanghai's eight most common crimes.
They are credit card fraud, running a gambling operation, dangerous driving, intentional injury, obstructing official duties, theft, fraud and "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" — a catch-all charge often used to stifle dissent.
Shi and colleagues said that the AI prosecutor would soon become more powerful with upgrades. It would be able to recognise less common crimes and file multiple charges against one suspect.
It was unclear when or whether the technology would find applications in other fields. The team could not be reached for comment when the report was published.
A prosecutor in the southern city of Guangzhou said he had some concerns about the use of AI in filing charges.
"The accuracy of 97 per cent may be high from a technological point of view, but there will always be a chance of a mistake," said the prosecutor, who requested not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue.
"Who will take responsibility when it happens? The prosecutor, the machine or the designer of the algorithm?"
Direct involvement of AI in decision-making could also affect a human prosecutor's autonomy. Most prosecutors did not want computer scientists "meddling" in a legal judgment, the Guangzhou-based prosecutor said.
Another issue is that an AI prosecutor could file a charge based only on its previous experience. It could not foresee the public reaction to a case in a changing social environment.
"AI may help detect a mistake, but it cannot replace humans in making a decision," the prosecutor said.
Nonetheless, China is making aggressive use of AI in nearly every sector of the government to try to improve efficiency, reduce corruption and strengthen control.
Some Chinese cities have used machines to monitor government employees' social circles and activities to detect corruption, according to researchers involved.
Many Chinese courts have been using AI to help judges process case files and make decisions such as whether to accept or reject an appeal.
Most Chinese prisons have also adopted AI technology to track prisoners' physical and mental status, with the goal of reducing violence.

In a scenario that’s part “Robocop” and part “Minority Report,” researchers in China have created an AI that can reportedly identify crimes and file charges against criminals.
The AI was developed and tested by the Shanghai Pudong People’s Procratorate, the country’s largest district public prosecution office, South China Morning Post reports. It can file a charge with more than 97 percent accuracy based on a description of a suspected criminal case.
“The system can replace prosecutors in the decision-making process to a certain extent,” the researchers said in a paper published in Management Review seen by SCMP.

The team built the machine off of an existing AI tool ominously called System 206. Prosecutors in China were already using the system to help assess evidence and determine whether or not a suspected criminal was dangerous to the public at large.
However, it was fairly limited as it could not “participate in the decision-making process of filing charges and [suggesting] sentences,” the team said in the paper. That would require the AI to be able to identify and remove irrelevant information in a case, and process human language in its neural network.
The new AI developed in Shanghai is able to assess case files in such a manner. In fact, the machine can identify and charge criminals with the district’s eight most common crimes: credit card fraud, gambling, reckless driving, intentional assault, obstructing an officer, theft, fraud, and even political dissent.
Who Watches the Watchmen?
Of course, there’s plenty of concern about a powerful computer with the ability to put people in prison. One anonymous prosecutor told SCMP that while its 97 percent accuracy is fairly high, “there will always be a chance of a mistake.”
“Who will take responsibility when it happens? The prosecutor, the machine or the designer of the algorithm?” the lawyer told the newspaper.
For now, the AI is still in its infancy and has yet to be widely rolled out. However, if recent trends are any indication, we can expect computers to do cops’ dirty work more in the future.

Scientists Have Discovered 40,000-Year-Old Star Maps Containing “Complex Constellation Knowledge”
Scientists Have Discovered 40,000-Year-Old Star Maps Containing “Complex Constellation Knowledge”
The 40,000-year-old rock carvings attest to the use of complex astronomy. Ancient drawings, which were previously thought to be symbols of prehistoric animals, are ancient star charts, experts recently discovered.
“Early cave art shows that humans had advanced knowledge of the night sky during the last ice age.”
Scientific research has shown that humans possessed complex knowledge of the stars and constellations over 40,000 years ago. Scientists have found that ancient people kept track of time by observing how the stars change their position in the sky.
As previously thought, ancient works of art found in many places in Europe are simple depictions of wild animals. However, instead, the animal symbols represent the constellations of stars in the night sky. They mark dates by marking events such as asteroid strikes, a new study published by the University of Edinburgh explains.
Scientists assume that ancient people perfectly understood the effect caused by a gradual change in the Earth’s axis of rotation. The discovery of this phenomenon, called the precession of the equinoxes, was previously attributed to the ancient Greeks.
“These findings support the theory of numerous cometary impacts throughout human history and could revolutionize the study of prehistoric populations.”
Experts from the Universities of Edinburgh and Kent have studied ancient cave art in Turkey, Spain, France and Germany.
Scientists have determined the age of cave art by chemically dating the paints used by ancient people.
Then, using computer programs, the scientists predicted the position of the stars at the time the paints were made. This showed that what used to be considered abstract representations of animals can be interpreted as constellations, as they looked in the distant past.
Scientists have concluded that these incredible cave paintings show that ancient people practiced a sophisticated timekeeping method based on astronomical calculations, despite the fact that the cave paintings are separated in time by tens of thousands of years.
“The world’s oldest sculpture, the Hochlenstein-Stadel Cave Lion Man, dating from 38,000 BC, has also been found to fit this ancient timekeeping system,” experts reveal in a statement from the University of Edinburgh.
It is believed that the mysterious statuette is dedicated to the catastrophic asteroid impact that occurred about 11,000 years ago and marked the beginning of the so-called Younger Dryad event – a period of sharp cooling of the climate.
“The date carved on the statuette is interpreted as 10,950 BC, with an accuracy of 250 years,” the scientists explain in their study.
“This date is written using the precession of the equinoxes, and the animal symbols represent the stellar constellations corresponding to the four solstices and equinoxes of this year.”
“Intellectually, these ancient people were no different from us today,” says Dr. Martin Sweetman of the University of Edinburgh.
Where did these ancient people get such knowledge about space and the sky?
The study was published in the Athens Historical Journal.
Is the Rendlesham UFO Incident UK’s Biggest Military Cover-Up of an Alien Encounter?
Is the Rendlesham UFO Incident UK’s Biggest Military Cover-Up of an Alien Encounter?
“The Rendlesham Forest incident was a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights near Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk, England in late December of 1980 which became linked with claims of UFO landings.” – Wikipedia
“In late December 1980, there was a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights near Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England which have become linked with claims of UFO landings.
The events occurred just outside RAF Woodbridge, which was used at the time by the United States Air Force (USAF). USAF personnel, including deputy base commander Lieutenant Colonel Charles I. Halt, claimed to see things they described as a UFO sighting.
The occurrence is the most famous of claimed UFO events to have happened in the United Kingdom, ranking among the best-known reported UFO events worldwide. It has been compared to the Roswell UFO incident in the United States and is sometimes referred to as “Britain’s Roswell”.
2022 will start with a bus-sized asteroid approaching Earth
2022 will start with a bus-sized asteroid approaching Earth
The beginning of 2022 will be marked by a large asteroid approaching the Earth. NASA’s classifications provide a clue on whether we should be worried.

According to the US space agency, Asteroid 2014 YE15, first discovered in 2014, will approach Earth at a distance of around 7,400,000km on January 6.
As NASA considers objects larger than 150 meters and which approach Earth within a distance of 7.5 million kilometers to be ‘potentially hazardous’, the seven-meter-wide – or ‘bus-size’, as the agency puts it – Asteroid 2014 YE15 is not regarded as a major threat.
The end of the year will also be marked by a seemingly greater danger passing by from space – on December 29, an approximately 149-meter-wide asteroid will come much closer to Earth, within 3,540,000km. Asteroids appear in relative proximity to the planet every couple of days, and NASA monitors their movement and regularly updates a list of the next five asteroid approaches.
This, however, does not mean they can be ignored. Even small ones can cause trouble. In 2013, a 20-meter-wide asteroid exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, releasing the same energy as about 26 to 33 atomic bomb explosions. Several buildings were damaged and around 1,500 people were treated for injuries caused by the side effects of the blast.

A strange Alien medallion was discovered in an Egyptian tomb (video)
A strange Alien medallion was discovered in an Egyptian tomb (video)
One of the most mysterious discoveries ever made is included in the video you’re about to watch. Professor Winwood was the one who made the discovery. According to what we can see, ancient kings and monarchs of our world were in contact with aliens.
Take a look at the video below and come to your own conclusions.
That may clarify why characters from Egypt, such as Thoth and Orus, appear in some of the symbols. The being or being from the talisman has hollow eyes, and we can see a structure that looks like a ship behind it.
The cylinder-like objects next to it resemble glass tubes, as if they were designed to hold everything inside.
A strange medallion discovered in an Egyptian tomb is also seen in the film. Alien-like characters appear in some of its features, supporting the hypothesis that aliens made peace with pharaohs and ruled Egypt from the shadows.
Professor Winwood is accused of stealing items from the tomb and then publishing them in a publication years later. This professor, who was also an archaeologist, was apprehended. The stolen artifacts were sent to a museum for safekeeping.
An Ancient Egyptian Medallion Is The Proof For Contact With Alien Races
Egyptian gold jewelry were found in the tomb of Queen Zer and Queen Pu-abi of Ur in Sumeria and are the oldest examples found jewelry from the third millennium BC.
Over the centuries, most Egyptian tombs robbed, stolen from tombs ended up in private collections and among them was puzzling medallion which is proof that the Egyptians had contact from an alien civilization
Medallion found in ancient Egyptian tomb.The Egyptian pharoahs have elongated skulls, as found in Paracas. Some figures have “alien like” features. One theory is that an “alien like” being and a possible space craft are at the top to represent alien rule /leadership over the Egyptians in ancient times.
Underground Atlantis: Did Ancient Civilization Take Refuge In Advanced Underground Tunnels?
Underground Atlantis: Did Ancient Civilization Take Refuge In Advanced Underground Tunnels?
Several of the impressive megalithic buildings around the world were erected by the A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ Atlantean c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳. But not only that, in times so immemorial when the world was physically unstable, this race built fantastic tunnel systems in which to take refuge if necessary, both from the onslaught of nature and from attacks from outer space.
At least that is how the U̳F̳O̳logist William Francis Brinsley Le Poer Trench (1911-1995), 8th Earl of Clancarty, 7th Marquis of Heusden believed, who in 1974 wrote the book The S̳e̳c̳r̳e̳t̳ of the Ages: U̳F̳O̳s from the interior of the Earth, elaborating on this and other topics related to the Hollow Earth hypothesis.
To begin with, in his book Le Poer Trench quotes the famous Erich von Däniken and his Gold of the Gods to refer to “a gigantic system of tunnels, thousands of kilometers long” that stretches below Ecuador and Peru. This interconnected cave and tunnel system was discovered by Juan Moricz in 1965.
Von Däniken related that a tunnel led to a large room where there were stone and metal objects, including statues of many types of animals made of solid gold. Additionally, there was a metal library consisting of metal plates (sheets) with writing in an unknown language, which Moricz believed contained a history of mankind and details about a vanished c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳.
Erich von Dániken with the discoverer of the tunnels, Juan Moricz, at the entrance to the mysterious underground world.
According to the quoted author, “the tunnels under Ecuador and Peru have smooth walls and often appear polished”, which would suggest that they had not been cut with rudimentary tools, but with much more sophisticated means. In Von Daniken’s words:
“… If the drill hits exceptionally hard geological strata, these could be destroyed with a few well-aimed shots from the weapon. The thermally shielded drill would attack the resulting blocks and heat the debris mass to a liquid state. As soon as the liquid rock cooled, it would form a diamond-hard enamel. The tunnel system would be safe against water infiltration and the camera supports would be superfluous. ”
Atlantis: The Refuge of War?
Towards the end of El Oro de Los Dioses, the Swiss author proposed a very interesting theory about a specific reason why A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳s̳ like the Atlantean, direct descendants of A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ astronauts, built the tunnels. This is quite apart from the dangers of seismic activity that Le Poer Trench himself also mentions as a threat.
Von Däniken suggests that in A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ times a cosmic battle took place between human beings. The losers apparently escaped in a spaceship, although the count attributes more than one spacecraft to them, and took refuge on Earth, where they were forced to wear “gas masks” to resist and adapt to the new atmosphere, hence the rock art. representing beings with “helmets” and “respiratory apparatus” -.
The author then claims that these fugitives, gifted with all the technological advances, “dived deep into the earth and made the tunnel systems” out of fear of their pursuers.
Later, and to hide their position even better, they established transmission stations on the fifth planet of our solar system, which then existed between Mars and Jupiter. The enemy, deceived by this ruse and believing that the signals betrayed the fugitives, bombards the mentioned planet until its complete destruction. Debris from the exploded world spread across what is now called the asteroid belt. This area is made up of thousands of asteroids and small pieces of stones. “P̳l̳a̳n̳e̳t̳s̳ don’t explode by themselves, someone makes them explode!” Däniken says
Le Poer Trench adds in his book that, if this really were the case, the weapons used in those A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ times were even more lethal than those of today and would explain the withering “bolts” of Zeus and other “gods” with truly destructive effects. capabilities.
Furthermore, he points out that the gravitational disruptions generated in the solar system by the loss of the fifth planet were responsible for a tilting of the Earth’s axis and the universal flood described by so many A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ cultures.
Underground tunnels in South America
The U̳F̳O̳logist of the last century then quotes the Italian journalist Peter Kolosimo and his work Timeless Land, where he mentions a system of tunnels that connects Lima with Cuzco, and from there continues to the Bolivian border.
According to the Kolosimo, these tunnels present a fascinating archaeological problem. “Scholars agree that they were not manufactured by the Incas themselves, who used them but ignored their origin. In fact, they are so imposing that it does not seem absurd to conjecture, as some scientists have done, that they are the work of an unknown race of giants, ”he writes.
On the other hand, the British Harold T. Wilkins, in his book Mysteries of Ancient South America, was probably describing the same tunnel system when he stated:
«One of the entrances to the great tunnels was, and still is, near the old Cuzco, but it is masked so as not to be discovered. This hidden path leads directly to a huge “subway”, which goes from Cuzco to Lima, in a straight line, a distance of 380 miles! Then, turning south, the great tunnel stretches out into what, until about 1868, was modern Bolivia, some 900 miles! ”
Wilkins also referred to some tunnels in the West Indies:
«Strange tunnels of incredible antiquity and unknown origin caught the attention of Christopher Columbus when he visited Martinique, in the West Indies. To be sure, the Atlantean white race built splendid cities on what are now islands of the West Indies, but which, at that distant date, may have been part of the now submerged American continent, whose name is commemorated in the word: “Antilles. ”
A curious old world Asian tradition is that A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ Atlantis had a network of tunnels and labyrinthine passages that ran in all directions, the day the land bridge existed between the submerged land and Africa on one side and old Brazil on the other. . In Atlantis, the tunnels were used for necromantic and black magic cults.
Kolosimo, for his part, noted that tunnel systems are found all over the world. In addition to South America, he listed California, Virginia, Hawaii, Oceania, and Asia. In Europe, there are tunnels in Sweden, the Czech Republic and Slovakia; and, in the Mediterranean area, in the Balearic Islands and Malta.
“A huge tunnel, of which some thirty miles have been explored, runs between Spain and Morocco, and many believe that this is how the‘ Barbary monkeys ’, otherwise unknown in Europe, arrived in Gibraltar,” wrote the Italian. “It has even been suggested that these cyclopean galleries form a network connecting the most distant parts of our planet.”
Agartha
Wilkins has more to tell us about the old tunnel systems:
“Among the tribes of Inner Mongolia, even today, there are traditions about tunnels and underground worlds that sound as fantastic as anything in modern novels. A legend, if so! – says the tunnels lead to an underworld of antediluvian descent, somewhere in Afghanistan or in the Hindu Kush region.
They even give it a name: Agharta. Legend adds that a maze of tunnels and underground passages extends in a series of links that connect Agharta with all the other underground worlds. The underworld, it is said, is illuminated by a strange green luminescence that favors the growth of crops and favors the length of days and health.
This last story is of special interest to Le Poer Trench, who draws a parallel with another Kolosimo writing that speaks of a similar fluorescence in another part of the world.
In Timeless Earth it is read that “a strange bottomless pit in Azerbaijan” has walls where “a bluish light comes out and strange noises are heard”, adding that after investigating and exploring, “scientists found a complete system of tunnels that connected with others in Georgia and throughout the Caucasus. ”
After describing these tunnels, which are on a regular basis and, he claimed, almost identical to others in Central America, Kolosimo goes on to say that they are part of a huge system that even connects with Iran and, furthermore, with the tunnels in C̳h̳i̳n̳a̳, Tibet and Mongolia.
Now, as for Wilkins’ account of an underworld named Agharta, which was said to be illuminated by a strange green luminescence, Kolosimo has this to say:
“Tibetans believe that the tunnels are citadels, the last of which still offers refuge to the survivors of an immense cataclysm. This unknown town is said to make use of an underground energy source that replaces that of the sun, causing plants to reproduce and prolong human life. It is supposed to emit a green fluorescence, and it is curious that we also find this idea in American legends.
conclusion
Thus, Le Poer Trench concludes that the Atlanteans and their descendants built tunnel systems around the world for various purposes. In the first place, to protect against attacks from nature, then very common, in the form of seismic activity and floods, and secondly, as protection in case of being attacked from outer space:
“Most of these fantastic tunnels were built in ways that exceed our current capabilities. For years England and France have been talking about the idea of a Channel Tunnel. However, it seems that the A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳s built the amazing tunnels of their time as something natural, and on a grand scale, for good and imperative reasons.
The Lockheed Martin SR-72, which is rumored to be the world’s fastest plane, is expected to make a test flight in 2025, eight years after its private proposal in 2013.
SR-72 will be the successor of the SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest manned aircraft which smashed speed records in 1974 and was retired by the U.S. Air Force back in 1998.
The SR-72, or “Son of Blackbird” is envisioned as an unmanned, hypersonic and reusable, reconnaissance, surveillance, and strike aircraft. The striking ability of the aircraft comes to the fore as it will, reportedly, support Lockheed Martin’s novel High-Speed Strike Weapon (HSSW). The aircraft's combat capabilities enable it to strike its target in dangerous environments that are deemed risky for slower manned aircraft.
Since the technology to build the aircraft was overly ambitious when the project was announced in 2013, the project had to wait for several years.
The SR-72 is estimated to have a top speed of Mach 6 or 4,603 mph (7.400 kph), making it roughly twice as fast as its predecessor, and could theoretically evade current fighter jets with its killing pace.
This massive speed boost is hypothetically thanks to a new turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) propulsion system. This, combined with an existing dual-mode ramjet would have allowed it to travel far faster than any other plane, circling the globe in a few hours.
While the alleged progress, development, and production timelines are still blurry, Lockheed said in late 2018 that an SR-72 prototype will fly by 2025, with the aircraft possibly entering service into the 2030s.
Since this is exciting news for Lockheed Martin, hypersonic technology in aircraft has been making headlines all over the globe. Most notably, China's hypersonic weapon launch in July caught intelligence services off guard, including the U.S. Space Force. The Chinese hypersonic technology is more advanced than any other country even though it missed its intended target. It looks like China is in the lead but still has a long way to go to win the race.
As the countdown to 2022 begins, the looks back at 2021 start with celebrity deaths and major news events, then move to Best of, Worst of, Most improved and Biggest Increase. In that last category, Northern Ireland is in the running for Biggest Increase in UFO sightings. What do ETs see in Northern Ireland?
“From mysterious discs over Slemish Mountain in Co Antrim to strange images spotted on CCTV, unexplained sightings increased in Northern Ireland again last year. Police received eight sightings in Northern Ireland during 2021, an increase from six such reports in 2020 and four in 2019.”
They don’t think I’m a leprechaun anymore?
That may not seem like a lot, but what does YOUR area have to brag about for 2021? The Belfast Telegraph and other UK media sources picked up on these statistics from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) database, which keeps track of reports on “Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO), Ariel Phenomena, Unidentified Ariel Phenomena, Lights In The Sky, Aliens and Extra-Terrestrial.” Despite this unusual and noteworthy increase in sightings, a PSNI spokesperson said no investigations were carried out in relation to these incidents.
“UFO investigators are seeking to explain this mysterious object spotted in the sky over Co Fermanagh. The grey shape was photographed by local Sinn Fein councillor Sheamus Greene while walking a remote area shortly before Christmas.”
January appeared to be a big month for UFOs in Northern Ireland, as a local politician reported seeing them twice in one week in County Fermanaghone, while The Belfast Telegraph says there was “a report of a space ship and flashing lights in the Downpatrick area on January 17.” In May, PSNI was called on two sightings — white lights following a helicopter in the Maghaberry area and a disc in the sky in the Slemish area of County Antrim. In July, there was a report of “strange images” on closed-circuit television (CCTV) in a house in the Newtownabbey area and a dome-shaped object with eight lights in the sky reported in the Saintfield area, and in November someone reported “unusual bright lights in the sky.” While those sounded like typical UFO sightings, the next two may have been something else.
“In September, a report was received in the Lisburn area of “aliens in bedroom”, while in October a detained patient reported having been abducted by aliens.”
“Aliens in the Bedroom” sounds like a tabloid headline, but perhaps it should be taken seriously since Lisburn was also the location of a strange UFO sighting in 2020 when “there was a report of a UFO “with many flashing lights making no noise” hovering in the skies above Dunmurray on the outskirts of Lisburn for around 30 minutes.” That comes from a report at the end of 2020 touting “Number of UFO sightings in Northern Ireland rose in 2020.”
I hear Scotland is nice.
Does it sound like Northern Ireland is concerned about UFOs … or proud of their interest in the area? The Belfast Telegraph reported this year on both the UFO report by the Pentagon to the US Congress, and the British Government’s lack of interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) “because in over 50 years no such reporting had indicated the existence of any military threat to the United Kingdom.” Perhaps that’s the problem – Northern Ireland wants the government to investigate its peculiar annual increase in UFOs and 10 Downing Street is not interested.
It’s too bad they didn’t approach the royals before the passing of UFO fan Prince Philip.
Just a few days ago I was asked about my research into the planet Mars. As you may know, I have a deep interest in all of the various mysteries and anomaliesthat can be found on the Red Planet. And, there’s no doubt there are plenty of them. Now, many might say – and justifiably in some cases – that all of those aforementioned anomalies fall into the category of pareidolia. It’s described as follows by EarthSky: “Maybe you’ve seen the proverbial bunny in the clouds on a warm summer day, or the face of a clown in a mud splatter on the side of your car? Seeing familiar objects or patterns in otherwise random or unrelated objects or patterns is called pareidolia. It’s a form of apophenia, which is a more general term for the human tendency to seek patterns in random information. Everyone experiences it from time to time. Seeing the famous man in the moon or the canals on Mars are classic examples from astronomy.” In a moment, we’ll take a look at a certain “thing” that I don’t believe is down to pareidolia. Of course, many reading this article may disagree with me – and vehemently so, too. But, that’s how it goes. It’s called “debate.”
Certainly, if you look at multiple photos of the surface of Mars you’ll find something that looks like this or that looks like that. But, it’s just a random piece of rock. So, in other words, I don’t go around thinking every presumed anomaly is exactly that. That said, however, there are some that really make me wonder. One particularly. And that’s the one I’m going to focus on today. It’s referred to as “The Crowned Face.” In some respects it mirrors the highly controversial “Face on Mars” that caused so much debate and argument in the 1970s and 1980s. In a photo of the Crowned Face, it seems to show a large face, with a pointed chin, a pair of eyes and a nose. Also, what appears to be crown-like headgear – hence the name that has been attached to it. Not only that, the eyes really do look like eyes. There also appears to be lips and a nose with nostrils, too. We should not dismiss the fact that if we turn the photo on its side – or upside down – it looks like something else, entirely. But, it still makes me think. And there’s that crown-like headgear, too. Collectively, it looks decidedly eerie.
(NASA) This photo of the Crowned Face is public domain in the U.S. The picture was taken by NASA. The space agency has specifically said that “NASA material is not protected by copyright unless noted.” In this case, the photo of the Crowned Face is free to use.
Whether or not you believe that the Crowned Face phenomenon was created by nature, by ancient Martians, or by advanced beings in times long gone, it’s still a subject that has a devoted following. Greg Orme’s excellent paper – “Possible Alien Artifacts in the King’s Valley, Libya Montes, Mars” – makes for fascinating reading. In part, Greg’s paper says: “While the Crowned Face is best known, there are many other unusual formations in the King’s Valley. In some areas it is difficult to find any part of the valley wall without a face of some kind on it. This paper shows some of these other features, artificiality is not proven with all of them as with the Crowned Face, but their proximity to each other makes them hard to explain. Other valleys in Libya Montes have no possible artifacts in them, these are all concentrated within five kilometers in one valley.”

From Mars to the London Underground
Pareidolia? The remains of an ancient civilization? Shades of the final moments of the 1968 movie, Planet of the Apes? I don’t know. In fact, none of us do. But, I do think that the whole thing warrants ongoing study.

Davison believes we are getting closer to finding life on other planets
NASA is looking to the heavens for help with assessing how humans will react if alien life is found on other planets and how the discovery could impact our ideas of gods and creation.
The agency hired 24 theologians to take part in its program at the Center for Theological Inquiry (CTI) at Princeton University in New Jersey, which NASA gave a $1.1 million grant to in 2014.
CTI is described as building 'bridges of under understanding by convening theologians, scientists, scholars, and policymakers to think together - and inform public thinking - on global concerns.'
The program, which started in 2016, aimed to answer questions that have baffled us since the begging of time such as what is life? What does it mean to be alive? Where do we draw the line between the human and the alien? What are the possibilities for sentient life in other places?
Now that NASA has two rovers on Mars, several probes orbiting Jupiter and Saturn and is set to launch the James Web Telescope tomorrow that study galaxy, star and planet formation in the universe, it seems that the agency is hopeful it is on the right path to discovering life outside of Earth.
And it needs a little help from above to help those of us living below to understand if that happens.

The Rev Dr Andrew Davison, a priest and theologian at the University of Cambridge with a doctorate in biochemistry from Oxford, is among 24 theologians enlisted by NASA to assess how humans will react if alien life is found on other planets and how the discovery will impact our ideas of gods and creation
NASA held the program, titled Societal Implications of Astrobiology, which started in 2015 and ran to 2018.
The Rev Dr Andrew Davison, a priest and theologian at the University of Cambridge with a doctorate in biochemistry from Oxford, was among 24 theologians who participated in Societal Implications of Astrobiology from 2016 to 2017, The Times reports.
'Religious traditions would be an important feature in how humanity would work through any such confirmation of life elsewhere,' Davidson shared in a blog post on the University of Cambridge site.
'Because of that, it features as part of NASA's ongoing aim to support work on 'the societal implications of astrobiology', working with various partner organizations, including the Center of Theological Inquiry at Princeton.'
Davison is publishing a book next year, titled Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine, which notes he believes we are getting closer to finding life on other planets.
Davison wrote in his book: 'Non-religious people also seem to overestimate the challenges that religious people . . . would experience if faced with evidence of alien life'
Davison's book notes: 'The headline findings are that adherents of a range of religious traditions report that they can take the idea in their stride.
'Non-religious people also seem to overestimate the challenges that religious people . . . would experience if faced with evidence of alien life.'
Studies and surveys have shown that US Christians are less likely to believe life exists on other planets, but Davison is not the only 'believer' who does not think the idea of extraterrestrials is impossible.
Duilia de Mello, an astronomer and physics professor at Catholic University, said she has several seminarians in her classes who often bring up theoretical questions about intelligent life in the universe.
'If we are the products of creation, why couldn't we have life evolving in other planets as well? There's nothing that says otherwise,' de Mello told The Washington Post in August.

In 2008, the Vatican's chief astronomer says there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of 'extraterrestrial brothers' perhaps more evolved than humans.
'In my opinion this possibility (of life on other planets) exists,' said Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, a 45-year-old Jesuit priest who is head of the Vatican Observatory and a scientific adviser to Pope Benedict.
'How can we exclude that life has developed elsewhere,' he told the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview in its Tuesday-Wednesday edition, explaining that the large number of galaxies with their own planets made this possible.
Asked if he was referring to beings similar to humans or even more evolved than humans, he said: 'Certainly, in a universe this big you can't exclude this hypothesis'.
The James Web Telescope (pictured), which is set to launch Christmas Day, could however change the way we look at the universe and maybe what is written in scriptures of all religions
However, not all theologians are on board with the idea of life on other planets.
Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said in a 2008 interview when asked if there are such thing as aliens: 'The answer is no; that’s speculative.
'We have no reason to believe there is any other story out there. There is nothing in Scripture that says there can’t be some form of life somewhere. But what we are told is that the cosmos was created in order that on this planet Jesus Christ, in space and time and history, would come to save sinful humanity.'
The James Web Telescope, which is set to launch Christmas Day, could however change the way we look at the universe and maybe what is written in scriptures of all religions.
It has been described as a 'time machine' that could help unravel the secrets of our universe, with distant objects emitting light from further back in time.
The telescope will be used to look back to the first galaxies born in the early universe more than 13.5 billion years ago.
The goal of this powerful device is to unravel the mysteries of supermassive black holes, distant alien worlds, stellar explosions, dark matter, and more.
JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE: THE NEXT BIG ORBITAL OBSERVATORY DEPLOYED TO SEARCH FOR ALIEN LIFE
Primarily an infrared telescope, it will have a wider spectrum view than Hubble and operate further out from the Earth, in a solar orbit, rather than an Earth orbit.
Research by Ohio State University claims that within five years of it coming online, James Webb will have found signs of alien life on a distant world.
Graduate student Caprice Phillips calculated that it could feasibly detect ammonia created by living creatures around gas dwarf planets after just a few orbits.
The James Webb telescope has been described as a 'time machine' that could help unravel the secrets of our universe.
The telescope will be used to look back to the first galaxies born in the early universe more than 13.5 billion years ago.
It will also observe the sources of stars, exoplanets, and even the moons and planets of our solar system.
The James Webb Telescope and most of its instruments have an operating temperature of roughly 40 Kelvin.
This is about minus 387 Fahrenheit (minus 233 Celsius).
Officials from the space agencies responsible for the telescope say the cost may exceed the $8 billion (£5.6 billion) program cap set by Congress.
NASA has already poured $7 billion (£5 billion) into the telescope since it was first proposed as a replacement for the long-running Hubble space telescope.
When it is launched in 2021, it will be the world's biggest and most powerful telescope, capable of peering back 200 million years after the Big Bang.
James Webb is designed to last for five years but NASA hopes it will operate for a decade or more, although due to its distance from Earth it can't be easily repaired.
It is 66ft by 46ft and will operate at the Sun-Earth Lagrange point about 930,000 miles from the Earth - almost four times further out than the moon.
The telescope is set to launch on a European workhorse Ariane-5 rocket at the end of October 2021, with the first observations expected in 2022.
Would it surprise you to learn that NASA has a priest on staff who is also a scientist? Would you be even more surprised to learn his function is not to minister astronauts but to help prepare the religious world for possible encounters with alien life forms? Meet Reverend Dr. Andrew Davison, a priest, a theologian and a scientist who has that unique job description and who is getting a preliminary 15 minutes of fame until the aliens arrive.
“Dr. Davison works at the intersection of theology, science and philosophy. His recent work has addressed astrobiology, inter-species cooperation (or mutualism) in biology, and the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis.”
From his Cambridge University biography, Reverend Dr. Davison sounds like a priest whose homilies would keep those interested in space travel and SETI wide awake. He has BA in Chemistry with Biochemistry and Biophysics and a DPhil in Biochemistry from Oxford, and a BA in Theology and Religious Studies and a PhD in Theology from Cambridge. Since 2014, he’s been the the Starbridge Associate Professor in Theology and Natural Sciences at Cambridge. Sounds like the perfect candidate to help NASA decide the religious aspects of dealing with aliens … and the religious people on Earth who may be in a dilemma over it. NASA thought so too.
“In the 2016-17 academic year, he was a fellow at the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey, on a NASA-sponsored programme to consider the implications for human society and self-understanding of life elsewhere in the universe.”
It’s that somewhat controversial position, plus his recent monograph on the significance of ‘exobiology’ for the main aspects of the Christian faith, that likely won him his latest job, which the British press is making a big to-do about.
“The headline findings are that adherents of a range of religious traditions report that they can take the idea in their stride. Non-religious people also seem to overestimate the challenges that religious people . . . would experience if faced with evidence of alien life.”
That quote from one of his books points out that people of various faiths disagree on how to react to the discovery of life on other planets, especially if it is similar to life on Earth. However, non-religious people have had an objection to the mixing of space science, religion and government funding before – specifically, in that NASA-sponsored program at Princeton that Davison was part of.
“The principal thrust of the grant was theological — and therefore religious. And though ostensibly ecumenical, the Center is “rooted in Christian theology,” according to its website. The grant was patently unconstitutional, FFRF asserted, since government-funded scientific studies of theology create state-church entanglements.”
in 2017, the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) protested NASA granting $1.108 million in taxpayer money to the Center of Theological Inquiry for what it deemed religious purposes. That obviously didn’t stop NASA in 2017 and will undoubtedly not stop it today.
While the funding may be controversial, the idea is worthy. Let’s hope Reverend Dr. Andrew Davison opens the discussion up to all religions and to the non-religious … we will all be under stress the day the aliens arrive – if they’re not here already.

Andre the Giant, Goliath, Gulliver. We are familiar with so-called giants of screen and mythology – but what if there was a real-life race of human giants that once walked the earth? And we don’t just mean you Big and Tall fellas out there. It is a very odd theory indeed, and one that understandably draws sniggers upon first hearing it – until you look at the evidence. Quite clearly there is a global effort to keep the evidence of giants since ancient days buried away from public eyes.

Special reports are UFOs Are as Real says Paul Hellyer Canadian Defense Minister, New UFO investigatory group, Chinese Dropa Disks, Angel Announces the Lord-has been born, The Day After Roswell, Chinese Pyramids, and Strange Craft
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Montana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Washington.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; they and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers. Forward these files to your friends and neighbors.

UFOs Are as Real says Paul Hellyer Canadian Defense Minister
Paul Hellyer Canadian Defense Minister
“UFOs are as real as the airplanes that fly over your head. I’m so concerned about what the consequences might be of starting an intergalactic war, I had to say something. The secrecy involved in all matters pertaining to the Roswell incident was unparalleled. The classification was, from the outset, above top secret, so the vast majority of U.S. officials and politicians, let alone a mere allied Minister of Defence, were never in-the-loop.” Statements as the University of Toronto, September 25, 2005
Paul Hellyer, also stated, “An unnamed former Canadian Chief of Emergency Measures revealed the astonishing story just before his death from a neurological illness.
Speaking at the “Hearing on ET Disclosure” in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, Mr. Hellyer explained that if he wanted to know about the workings of an alien space craft he would “ask the current chief of Emergency Measures”. Mr. Hellyer, who became a UFO expert after claiming to have seen proof of alien visitations while in office, said: “The reason I know is I interviewed the previous one, who is now deceased, and he went Langley and the CIA asked if he would like to see one of these crafts.”
“They flew him to Area 51 and let him go inside one and observe it and make notes and this sort of thing. Hellyer revealed the claim to a panel of the world’s top UFO and alien investigators and experts on July16, 2016. Thanks to Jon Austin Daily Mail. Paul Hellyer Canadian Defence Minister 1963-67, and Deputy Prime Minister in 1968.
New UFO Investigatory Group
MUFON Encouraged by Establishment of New DoD UFO Investigatory Group
Pentagon
The Nov. 23, 2021, announcement that a new UFO investigatory group was being organized within the Department of Defense to replace the short-lived Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force was a positive development, according to the Mutual UFO Network, who said it “hoped the creation of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) might lead to some answers as to what the elusive UFOs and UAPs are.”
The Cincinnati-based organization’s executive director, David MacDonald, stated that it “was gratifying” to see the defense establishment acknowledge the reality of a long-term problem: “That some type of unknown flying object has been operating in American skies—and the skies of the rest of the world, actually—for decades and always seemingly beyond reach of our latest technology.” He characterized earlier government efforts to investigate the UFO phenomenon as “unfocused, not truly concerned with what might be encroaching on American airspace and more interested in trivializing and debunking the many mystifying sightings.” MacDonald is optimistic the new organization “with the convoluted name” will “turn an unblinking gaze” at the enigmatic flying objects that pose flight safety issues to both military and civilian pilots alike and provide some information about them.
Typical Disk UFO/UAP
MacDonald conceded, however, that embedding the AOIMSG in the Department of Defense doesn’t bode well for public transparency. “Security and classification requirements will hamper full disclosure of any findings, I’m afraid. But one thing is abundantly clear: The UFO phenomenon cuts across all segments of society—it’s not confined simply to the military,” he declared, and any non-classified findings from this new group should be announced publicly as quickly and completely as possible. “Ultimately,” he added, “the non-military, civilian research community needs to step up and attack the problem, and that’s where MUFON with its over 50 years of involvement in UFO study and field investigations can help.” Press Release Service by Newswire.com
“That night some shepherds were in the fields guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly an angel appeared among them, and the landscape shone bright with the glory of the Lord. They were badly frightened, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid! I bring you the most joyful news ever announced, and it is for everyone! The Savior-yes the Messiah, the Lord-has been born tonight in Bethlehem! How will you recognize him? You will find a baby wrapped in a blanket, lying in a manager!
Suddenly the angel was joined by a vast host of others–armies of heaven-praising God: Glory to God in the highest heaven, they sang, “and peace on earth for all those pleasing him.”
When this army of angels had returned again to heaven, the shepherds said to each other. “Come on! Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this wonderful thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about. (Luke 2) The armies of heaven may describe the light from UFOs that are often seen in large numbers. It seems appropriate that during the holidays we discuss angels.
Angel or ET
Angels are often shown with wings that shows their ability to fly, rather than actually having wings. If you care to make the assumption those angels and extraterrestrials exist, perhaps some are the same. God’s messengers appear most frequently and conspicuously in connection with bringing ministry, healing, and sacred scripture. We are told Angels are immortal beings, existing in vast number often in a military like role, and often flying in clouds or in powerful vehicles.
Bible Reports the Star of Bethlehem
Barry Downing a Presbyterian pastor quotes the Bible. The Bible states, “Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, in Judea, during the reign of King Herod.” At about that time some magi (wise men) from the east arrived in Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the newborn King of the Jews?’ for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.”
“After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the young child with his mother Mary, and bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.” (Mathew-2.)
A Star or UFO
Editor’s Note – Magi or wise men were astronomers or astrologers who lived in Persia or Babylonia hundreds of miles to the northwest of Jerusalem. They arrived in Jerusalem and spoke to Herod indicating they were likely of high rank possibly Kings or messengers from kings. We assume they were excellent witnesses. They had followed a star for a great distance to get to Jerusalem. Now, they were overjoyed to see the same star that led them to Bethlehem five miles due south of Jerusalem. According to the scriptures the star moved south and stopped over the house where Jesus lived.
Stars cross the sky from east to west at 15 degrees per hour as the Earth rotates and do not stop and do not change direction. It would be difficult for the wise men to follow a star both day and night, and a miracle would be required for it to stop or change direction. While at Jerusalem, the star hovered overhead and then when the wise men appeared from the building the star made a sharp 90-degree turn and led the wise men four miles south to the birth of Jesus Christ in the manger at Bethlehem. One explanation is that they followed the light of a UFO. Of course, God and his angels can do anything, but the Bible is describing a light moving in weird directions from normal star movement.
Angels and Aliens
Angels are spiritual and superhuman beings who are messengers of God and visitors from another world called Heaven. An Angel of the Lord spoke with Abraham in the Torah, when he was 99 years old and childless, telling the Jewish leader he would be the father of a multitude of nations. According to Genesis he fulfilled the promise.
One angel brought the message of the entire Koran to Mohammed and the Moslems. Mohammed became a general to spread the Moslem religion. The Eastern religions speak of Devas who are organized in a military hierarchy and operate in a comparable manner to angels. The truth is the origin of UFOs are unknown, but scriptures tell us throughout history angels have interacted with us and often come in the clouds.
Is it possible God has an Air Force?
“The Madonna with Saint Giovannino” 15th century Italian painting of UFO above the right shoulder.
In the Christian Bible it states: In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth and a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings you are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his Father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, his kingdom will never end. “How can this be” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?’ The angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So, the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God!“Luke 1-verses 26 to 35. Two thousand years later, much of world celebrates this birth at Christmas.
Young Angels
Much of our spiritual history revolves around visitors from a planet called Heaven. In Vedic writings the topmost authority in the material universe is known as Brahma, and he lives in the highest material planetary system, called Brahmaloka. These extraterrestrial angelic visitors are real according to most of the great historic religious writings of humankind. It seems reasonable that these are not simply myths, but are based on actual visits by angels, visitors, watchers, ET, devas or whatever you choose to call them. They are often given credit for bringing writing to Earth.
If you visit the great temples and churches around the world, all have the story of a strange being who oversaw their construction of numerous domes often in the shape of a disc shaped UFO.
Fallen Angels
Nephilim fallen Angels
Janet Smith PhD writes, “Yes, angels are visiting the earth, but they are not all God’s angels, although God’s inter-dimensional messengers come and go as long as there are humans here. But would God’s angels mutilate a $2000 cow? Drive a rancher out of business? Would God’s angels cause pain, scoop marks, and scratches; occult pregnancies; forcefully take semen from men; terrify children in the night; float a paralyzed woman through a window; haunt a house; snatch children from their cribs without their parents’ permission; live underwater and under the earth? If these are angels, they are the Nephilim, the Fallen Ones, and their presence is more manifest as we get closer to End Times and to our leap into space. It is no coincidence that Kenneth Arnold saw his saucers when the nuclear age was dawning, and Israel was about to become a state. As for healings, it should come as no surprise that people can be healed by them. There is no question they have many special powers. God’s angels can heal people as well, without giving them PTSD. How many aliens have you heard glorifying Jesus Christ, or even God the Father, heaven, or hell? They want the attention for themselves. They want us to think that our destiny is in their hands alone. Paul warned us that the devil can appear as an angel of light.” Thanks to Janet Smith PhD
The Day After Roswell
Lt. Colonel Philip J. Corso, U.S.A. (ret.) in late June 1997 made startling revelations in a new book, The Day After Roswell and in an interview on NBC’s Dateline program. The majority of the book is an account of Colonel Corso’s claims that he was assigned to a secret government program that provided some material recovered from crashed spacecraft to private industry (without saying where the items came from) to reverse engineer them for corporate use. Corso was a Special Assistant to Lt General Author Trudeau, who headed Army Research and Development, and was in charge of the Foreign Technology Desk. Colonel Corso’s background includes being an intelligence officer on General Douglas MacArthur’s staff during the Korean War; member of the President Eisenhower’s National Security Council; head of Foreign Technology in Army Research and Development at the Pentagon in the early 1960s, where he was in charge of the Roswell Files, the cache of UFO parts and information which “an Army retrieval team … pulled out of the wreckage of a flying disk that had crashed outside the town of Roswell in the New Mexico desert in the early-morning darkness during the first week of July 1947.” Corso retired from the Army in 1963 with nineteen medals and ribbons; then served as National Security specialist staff to U.S. Senators James Eastland and Strom Thurmond.
Lt. Colonel Philip J. Corso, U.S.A.
Col. Corso tells that in July 1947 at the Roswell UFO crash site, an Army Intelligence retrieval team found five extraterrestrials, 4-1/2 feet tall with grayish-brown skin, four-fingered hands, and oversized hairless heads, two of them still alive. One tried to run away and was shot by nervous soldiers. The other was still alive but dying when he arrived in the back of an Army truck at Roswell Army Airfield. He was Post Duty Officer at Fort Riley, Kansas in 1947, the night a shipment of Roswell artifacts arrived from Fort Bliss. Colonel Corso examined the shipment, which included one of the dead extraterrestrials preserved in a thick light-blue liquid. The shipment was destined for what is now called Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Corso speaks about serving in President Eisenhower’s National Security Council and seeing the memos about the Roswell incident and the “goods” retrieved from it.
The Colonel divulges how he spearheaded the Army’s super-secret reverse-engineering project that “seeded” extraterrestrial technology into American corporations such as IBM, Hughes Aircraft, Bell Labs, and Dow Corning – without their knowledge. He describes the devices found aboard the Roswell craft, and how they became the precursors for today’s integrated circuit chips, fiber optics, lasers, night-vision equipment, super-tenacity fibers (such as Kevlar plastic armor), and classified discoveries, such as psychotropic devices that can translate human thoughts into signals that control machinery, Stealth aircraft technology, and Star Wars particle-beam devices. He also discusses the role that extraterrestrial technology played in shaping geopolitical policy and events; how it helped the United States surpass the Russians in space; spurred elaborate Army initiatives such as SDI (Star Wars Projects), Project Horizon (to place a military base on the Moon), and HARP; and ultimately brought about the end of the Cold War.
X-22 Anti-gravity Craft
Colonel Corso also said that captured UFOs were/are kept at Norton, Edwards and Nellis (Area 51) Air Force Bases. He said a UFO Working Group was set up by President Truman in September 1947 (a group some call MJ-12), and that it has functioned ever since. In the 1950s two crude prototypes of antigravity craft were constructed, but were powered by crude human nuclear fission generators, and were inefficient and leaked radiation. He says that the later Star Wars program was always primarily to prepare for war against the extraterrestrials in case of invasion.
The exotic technology is the real Dark Star, designated the X-22A, and manufactured by the Lockheed Skunk Works, This Dark Star is an operational, two-man, wingless antigravity craft. It’s been operational since 1992. Its metallic airframe in flight is obscured by an intense bluish-white light, which pulsates off and on at about two-second intervals over Area 51. During the phase where the intense light is off, the craft frame disappears from optical view, and then reappears several hundred yards distant horizontally in the lit mode. The craft may bend time jumping from one place to another.
Corso was one of the ultraconservative Cold Warriors who continually feared a Communist takeover and help defeat their attempt to take over Italy. The military and political groups he was allied with adopted the same outlook on the extraterrestrial Visitors, fearing them as some potential invasion force that had to be repulsed by a crash program of back-engineering Star Wars weapons from captured UFO technology. He lumped extraterrestrials with Communists as potential invaders and helped defeat Communism in the Soviet Union.
Chinese Dropa Disks
In 1938, Peking archaeology students explored some caves in the Bayan-Kara-Ula Mountains on the border of Tibet and China. Chinese professor, Chi Pu Tei, detected regularly aligned rows of graves. The skeletons measured only around four feet in height and had skulls which were large and over developed. This was said to be the resting grounds for two tribes known as the Han and the Dropa, (shown) a peculiar race of people that fail to fall into any racial or ethnic group known to man especially with their enlarged craniums.
Very short Dropa People
At the time of the discovery, the cave area was still inhabited by two tribes known as the Hams and the Dropas. Anthropologists have been unable to categorize either tribe into any other known race; they are neither Chinese, Mongol nor Tibetan. They are yellow skinned with thin bodies and disproportionately large heads, corresponding to the skeletal remains found in the caves in 1938. They have sparse hair on their bodies; have large eyes and their height measures between three’6” and 4’7” with an average height of 4’2”.
Also found in the caves were hundreds of stone disks that were shaped like an “lp” album with a hole in the center and a spiral of circles, which extended from the center to the edge. Scientists were baffled to their hieroglyphics until they were sent to a school that studied prehistoric hieroglyphics.
The message is the same as the drawings, but unfortunately the Chinese Government found the message to be not suitable for public ears. There also were pictures of a ship with concentric circles covering it and inside these egg-shaped ships were the Dropas wearing a globe that covered their large heads.
A bit more info on these stone disks was that they would vibrate when unusual notes of music were played; the scientist wrote it as a prehistoric electrical system. I thought that was more evidence to their existence. And what else did they find? The bodies of the Dropas, the burial ground that the Chinese government said was a burial ground for a strange species of apes, since apes don’t bury their dead in underground caves.
The Dropa stones are said to be a set of 716 circular stone disks dating back 12,000 years on which tiny hieroglyphic-like markings can be found. Each disc is said to measure up to one1 foot in diameter and carries two grooves originating from a hole in their center, in the form of a double spiral.
Rock Art
Inside a nearby cave system, Chi Pu Tei and his team found interesting rock art which depicted figures with round helmets. Engraved in the rock were also the sun, moon, earth, and stars, connected by groups of pea-sized dots. Further inside the cave, the team found the collection of stone discs, most of them half buried in the floor of the cave. For the next two decades, it is believed that the discs were labeled and stored at Beijing University before being given to Tsum Um Nui for study in 1958. Tsum Um Nui allegedly managed to decipher the hieroglyphic characters after 4 years of study which he claimed told the story of a spacecraft that crash landed in the area of the cave and that the ship contained the Dropa people. One of the discs apparently said the following: “The Dropa came down from the clouds in their aircraft. Our men, women and children hid in the caves ten times before sunrise. When at last we understood the sign language of the Dropas, we realized that the newcomers had peaceful intentions.”
In 1968 the Dropa stones came to the attention of W. Saitsew a Russian scientist who re-published the findings of Tsum Um Nui and conducted tests on the disks that revealed some very peculiar properties. Physically, the granite stones contained high concentrations of cobalt and other metals – an extremely hard stone indeed that would have made it difficult for the primitive people to carve the lettering, especially with such minute characters. As recorded in the Soviet magazine Sputnik, when evaluating a disk with an oscillograph, a surprising oscillation rhythm was recorded as if, the scientists said, they had once been electrically charged or had functioned as electrical conductors.
Dropa stones
Ernst Wegerer an Austrian engineer who, in 1974, visited the Banpo Museum in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, where he was able to see two of the Dropa stones. It is said that when he enquired about the discs the manager did not provide him with any information but allowed him to photograph them. He claims that in his photos the hieroglyphs cannot be seen as they have been hidden by the flash from the camera and have also deteriorated.
Later In 1994, the German scientist Hartwig Hausdorf and colleague Peter Krassa are said to have visited China and the Banpo museum in Xian, where they were told that the Director’s superiors had ordered the discs destroyed and that officially they do not recognize their existence.
At the time of the discovery, the cave area was still inhabited by two tribes known as the Hams and the Dropas. Anthropologists have been unable to categorize either tribe into any other known race; they are neither Chinese, Mongol nor Tibetan. They are yellow skinned with thin bodies and disproportionately large heads, corresponding to the skeletal remains found in the caves in 1938. They have sparse hair on their bodies; have large eyes and their height measures between 3’6” and 4’7” with an average height of 4’2”. This general area is known for its frequent UFO sightings.
Giza Pyramid
Pyramid Power
This expert engineer shows how the Great Pyramid possibly created a harmonic resonance with the Earth, allowing this crystal edifice to convert the Earth’s vibrational energies into an unlimited supply of electricity. Among the first to propose the theory was Christopher Dunn. Explorer, researcher and author, Christopher Dunn wrote, The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt. While his perspective on ancient technology was dramatic, it was also testable. Electrical engineers, have made the case that some of the more ancient pyramids are actually gigantic machines that generate power. Some have even built models that prove their contention that pyramidal structures are natural reservoirs of energy and can function as huge capacitors and generators of electricity.
One such model was built by an engineer from Austria named Trawger. When scaled up to sizes equaling large pyramids found around the world the power increases exponentially and could produce gig watts, or the equivalent of small nuclear reactors without the risks. Pyramids may be the ultimate green energy power source.
Evidence exists that some of the energy that accumulates within pyramids may be hyper dimensional in nature. Some researchers suspect that pyramid energy vortices are creating torsion fields and generating scalar waves. If so, directed HAARP scalar waves can intensify a pyramid’s power and vastly increase the release of torsion field energy.
China’s Pyramids
Xianyang pyramid
Chinese scientists have activated a special team that has been studying the great Xianyang pyramid that sits near Mount Baigong in the western province of Qinghai, China. They are now closely monitoring the pyramid for signs it might activate as others have. [See: Alien Base Found at Chinese Pyramid]
Giant machines capable of generating incredible amounts of energy are they really possible? The evidence suggests (Mysterious Xianyang pyramid) that it is, and if so it raises the question: to what purpose will all that energy be put? The Chinese think their famous flat-topped pyramid was used many thousands of years ago as a landing airport. The anomalous pyramid rises almost two hundred feet above the countryside – the surrounding area littered with mystifying pipes, bizarre artifacts and unworldly miscellaneous items. China’s state-run Xinhua agency sent a nine-man team to investigate the pyramid and report back on their findings. The team discovered pipes running from the caves and deep into the ground slanting down into the earth… towards what?
Scientific team discovered numerous odd artifacts
Above the caves are dozens of pipes – all of various diameters – that mysteriously run into the mountainside beneath the towering pyramid. All the pipes match the color of the surrounding rocks, a murky reddish-brown.The agency tersely says: “The pyramid has three caves with openings shaped like triangles on its façade and is filled with red-hued pipes leading into the mountain and a nearby saltwater lake.”
Some type of electrical or gravitational energy or water (hydrogen and 2 oxygen) is collected through the pipes that can be used by the UFOs
UFO Getting Power fro Pyramid
A generator that may be able to pump out mega joules of energy can be used for anything: opening doorways to other universes, climate manipulation even as a planetary defense system. The pieces were found to be mostly silicon dioxide and calcium oxide, although more than eight percent of the metal could not be identified.
The pipes are 12,000 years old,” Liu Shaolin an engineer says even much much older.
The pyramid complex stretches out much farther than what is visible, and evidence suggests a highly technological network of pressurized pipes supplying water and possibly other fuels to UFOs.
If true and there’s strong circumstantial evidence that allegations made by Bob Lazar that the USAF top-secret test base is hip deep in ET artifacts and technology.
China Pyramid and Area 51 Pyramid
If the pyramid in Qinghai was erected to power up extraterrestrial spacecraft, then the USAF may require something similar to obtain a massive, alien-designed energy they would build a pyramidal structure like those in China. The USAF version also has an upgrade square receptacle that sits in the middle of the flat top of the Area 51 pyramid. For more than 30 years UFOs have been regularly spotted hovering and maneuvering around Groom Lake. Thanks to beforeitsnews,
Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and flight crew who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.
Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.

UFO Sightings in the United States
Sightings are from MUFON CMS
California Object
San Jose– on December 12, 2021, the object was moving SW that looked like to a big glowing cigar to the naked eye. I would have to say about the size of an aircraft carrier. It was not a plane; it was about 2-3 miles away. This was my first UFO.
Yosemite National Park — on July29, 2021, at 5:52 PM my family and I were on a camping trip and took photos. I was going through my pictures today and found two shots of the same area taken within seconds of each other in one frame. Nothing is there and the next frame it is. And we were in Yosemite Valley. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Illinois Object
Dix– on December 12, 2021, captured by my sky camera at 4:10 a.m. camera was on night vision and pointed directly up. may have been geese.
Maine Light
Augusta – on December 1, 2021, we witnessed this transparent orb looking thing that transformed and moved in a straight line without leaving a single trail or any noticeable noise. We witnessed it outside and during sundown but cannot place or make out what it could have been.
Montana Object
Libby– on December 7, 2021, sister-in-law took a photo of the moon and a bright object above the moon. Later when viewing the photos, she found an unknown object. Note: The apparent unknown object could be a reflection or lens flare and not a real object. The photo was taken through the windshield of a moving vehicle. The apparent object does look strange, and I can’t say with “100%” certainty that is not real. The bright light above the moon is likely Jupiter. Further analysis shows that the object is behind the power lines in the photo. This suggests that it is a real object. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
New Jersey Lights
Patterson – on October 10, 2021, blue light
West Orange – on December 4, 2021, I was walking my dog at 6:30p.m. when I saw a long, tubular craft with li twenty lights that moved toward one another and then away from each other. There was a light in the front and one in the back and those were not moving. All the lights were white. It was moving slowly
Carol K wrights on, October 7, 2021, at 2:55 PM: Dear George I am sending this email to you because my daughter and her partner have both woken up with fluid running out of their noses and mouths. They both have an uneasy feeling about what happened to them and suspect that they may have been abducted. Has anyone ever reported waking up with fluids coming from them? Also, my daughter is Rh negative, and I read somewhere that aliens are extremely interested in Rh negative. Can you please help? Please respond we need answers.
New Mexico Objects
Taos– – on November 24, 2021, we were flying at 7 a.m. at 20,000 feet. being a pilot, I’ve never seen this. It was looking south out my cockpit window.
North Carolina Light
Raleighon December 12, 2021 – I witnessed strange red round orbs in the sky tonight that I have photos of, as well as video. I would like to report this, share my experience, and most of all, find out what these were. I apologize the videos are not my best, but I couldn’t get my professional camera fast enough.
They came from the east and went higher in the sky westward. I know the families across our lake saw them as for I heard voices talking as I walked down my street. To give you a better idea of the location, I live in the city limits of Raleigh, closest to Knightdale, and the Neuse River.
The first two pictures are lite up because my flash went off.
Note: It is difficult to say what the witness saw. The moon, Venus and Jupiter were all visible at the time of the sighting. The objects could have been Chinese lanterns.
Oklahoma Object
Noble – on December 4, 2021, I was driving home from work on Etowah and noticed a big part of the sky looking to my southeast was lit up orange where there is no town. I took a quick picture. I noticed it in the sky about 1.5 miles. I pulled over in a parking lot 156th and Etowah took a video. The pictures and video look farther away than it was, and smaller than it was in person. The light seemed to have gotten bigger or closer to me quicker than I expected it to. I headed on home, east, after I got the video. I pulled over and stopped when I got to the next hill (about three miles east), which is a lot higher elevation than where I was pulled over to take the video. I should’ve been able to see that light, but it was gone. My pictures and video all have details of exact time and location of where they were taken.
Tennessee Light
Nashville – on December 7, 2021, at 10:57 am on my way to D.C on SW flight #1921, I spotted the infamous, yet elusive “Tic Tac” flying below the airplane I was on in the opposite direction at incredible speed, but captured by chance as I was taking pictures from my window (front row) on the left side of craft (here attached frame by frame / slow motion). Do not know exactly what area we were flying over but my nonstop flight departed at 10:25 am.
Washington Lights
Auburn– on December 12, 2021, I was walking the dog with my wife, when I saw an egg-shaped glowing object hovering, moving slowly towards us. After viewing for 30-45 seconds, I told my wife to keep it in her sights as I ran back to the house to grab my phone. As I was running down the sidewalk, the object paced me the entire way. I darted into the house, grabbed my phone, and took two pictures. Case 119772
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Object
Adelaide– on December 17, 2021, Photographed a cigar shaped object near an aircraft that had just left Adelaide airport.
Figtree October 17, 2021, object was changing shape if you can slow down the video enough you will see there are black dots flying around the main UFO. It appears like mercury moving and shape shifting in a fluid way, if never seen anything like this ever. The object changes from a blob shape to a donut shape within seconds then when it gets closer to the tree it turns into a ball looking thing with legs hanging down.
Canada Light
Kingston, Ontario on October 28, 2021, it was the only light visible in the sky and it was pulsating, changing shape. I enlarged some of the photos. There appears to be some kind of aura or current running through or around it as seen in the photos. it was silent, and it took 8 minutes to travel from one side of the sky to the other.
UK/England Light
London– on December 10, 2021, while driving close to old BBC studios I noticed strange yellow object. Started recording with iPhone and suddenly saw many other objects. In the beginning you can see two bluish objects, there are many dots flaying in groups of 3 or 4 flaying all around then green square object editing green light.

The Most Important Alien Story NEVE Told
The Most Important Alien Story NEVER Told
What is the alien agenda? Are UFOs real? And why has the government gone to such great lengths to stifle the overwhelming evidence that there is life outside of Earth that exists? Some of our greatest minds on the planet share the truth behind this massive cover-up. Stanton Friedman is one of these people, he is a top nuclear physicist who has appeared in countless documentaries and tv programs talking and sharing his expertise. Jim Mars also speaks on this matter, he is an author of the top-selling non-fiction UFO book in the world, Alien Agenda.

US defense department says images of blinking triangular object in the sky and other UFOs were taken by navy personnel in 2019
F-18 and UAP
Furthering the growing interest in unidentified flying objects, or what the US government refers to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the Department of Defense confirmed on Thursday that recently leaked photos and videos of UFOs were legitimate and taken by navy personnel.
Sue Gough, a spokesperson for the Pentagon, confirmed to CNN that images and footage of a blinking triangular object in the sky, along with other UAPs that were categorized as a “sphere”, “acorn” and “metallic blimp”, were taken by navy personnel in 2019.
Gough told CNN that the defense department would not comment further on the nature of the footage or share any examinations into them.
“To maintain operations security and to avoid disclosing information that may be useful to potential adversaries, DoD does not discuss publicly the details of either the observations or the examinations of reported incursions into our training ranges or designated airspace, including those incursions initially designated as UAP,” Gough said in the statement.
UFO below plane’s wings
Last April, the Pentagon released three videos of UAPs taken in 2004 and 2015 that included audio of pilots amazed at the speed of the objects they were seeing. “Look at that thing, dude!” one pilot said. “It’s rotating!”
The release of the footage kicked off federal interest in investigating UAPs. In August, the defense department created a UAP taskforce following pressure from congressional lawmakers. In December, Congress passed its government funding bill that included a directive to the national intelligence director and defense secretary to release a report on UAPs in six months’ time.
Last month, Donald Trump’s former intelligence director John Ratcliffe teased the contents of the report, telling Fox News that the document would include unknown sightings from “all over the world”.
“Frankly, there are a lot more sightings than have been made public,” Ratcliffe said.
The Moon’s City and Towers
Moon
The average person will be surprised to learn that there are huge structures on the Moon that appear to be quite old. The photographs certainly suggest an ancient, advanced civilization and an attempt to keep it secret by blacking out various photographs.
The Shards are an obvious structures which rises above the Moon’s surface by more than a mile. Its overall irregular spindly shape (containing a regular geometric pattern) with constricted nodes and swollen internodes, if natural, has got to be a wonder of the Universe. No known natural process can explain such a structure. Computer enhancement with about 190 feet (60 meters) resolution shows an irregular outline with more reflective and less reflective surfaces. The amount of sunlight reflecting from parts of the Shard indicate a composition inconsistent with that of most natural substances.
Only crystal facets and glass can reflect that much light (polished metallic surfaces are unnatural). Single crystals the size of city blocks is currently unknown. I concur with Hoagland that the Shard may be a highly eroded remnant of some sort of artificial structure made of glass-like material. Other larger structures and their reflectivity in the area support this theory.
The Lunar Orbiter photograph and the three sequential photographs (AS10-32-4854-56) taken from the Apollo spacecraft all show the “Tower” (and “Shard”) in the southwestern area of Sinus Medii mare from different angles and different perspectives. The Surveyor 6 photograph shows anomalous geometric structures above the ground, like those associated with the tower extending to the north of the “Tower” for about a hundred miles. The censored Apollo 10 photograph near Ukert crater shows anomalous geometric structures extending on the ground for tens of miles over an area the size of the Los Angeles.
of compelling evidence of ancient structural artifacts present on the Moon.
Aerial View of Shard
Confirmed through cross comparisons of overwhelming imaging evidence, from several separate NASA missions — with different photographic technologies, different lighting, and different viewing geometries — these studies now leave little doubt that this solar system has been host to some prior habitation by intelligence, and some within NASA have apparently known about and deliberately suppressed this robust evidence for more than fifty years.
Regarding possible motivations for this inexplicable behavior, additional documentary evidence was discovered by NASA Astronomer McDaniel. According to the Astronomer McDaniel, an early NASA study was commissioned from the Brookings Institution in 1959, that anticipates the possible future discovery of intelligently designed artifacts in the solar system by NASA probes. It considers “how might such information, under what circumstances, be presented to or withheld from the public, for what ends?”
The apparent reason given was the apprehension voiced within this Study that society itself might “disintegrate.” Everything in NASA’s behavior regarding the possibly artificial structures on Mars, and the Moon, indicates that NASA intends to follow for the indefinite future, the policy of withholding information outlined in the Brookings Institution Report.
Close up view of top of Shard
Orientation of this photograph 45 degrees to south of Apollo 10 photographs and Surveyor 6, November 1967, show Sinus Medii with the Shard.
All of these unnatural structures appear to have sustained varying degrees of damage from meteorite and micrometeorite impact. Small impact craters (1-2 miles), exist within the anomalous area near Ukert, and clearly post-date the anomalies. Recognition of such damage is important in understanding and interpreting the nature and time sequence in the origin of these structures. Apollo 16, June 1972 NASA photograph AS16-121-19438, looking northwest from above the eastern edge of Mare Crisium and across Mare Tranquilitatus from 70 miles altitude.
THE SHARD on Far Side of Moon
Shard on Far side of Moon
What has lunar scientists most excited by the object is its shape, which stands out from most other rocks on the Moon.
“It seems to have a shard-like shape and is sticking out of the ground,” Dan Moriarty, a NASA postdoctoral program fellow at the Goddard Space Flight Center, told Space.com. “That’s definitely unusual.”
Ukert Crater
UKERT Sprawling Structures
Ukert is a crater-like feature that displays a circumscribed equilateral triangle at full Moon in its center. This triangle is not natural, because the sides of the “crater” are much brighter only opposite the sides of this triangle. The r angles of the triangle intersect the darkest three areas of the “crater” rim, while the brightest three areas of the rim are opposite the sides of the triangle. In addition, the brightest parts of the rim are midway between the apices of the triangle and are at 120 degrees orientation from one another. If a line is drawn from the centers of each bright area across the triangle to the opposing angle, the lines will exactly bisect each angle. Such regular geometry is not a natural feature of any terrain, either on Earth or on the Moon. Furthermore, the symbolism of an equilateral triangle within a circle is a two-dimensional representation of a tetrahedral pyramid within a sphere. Tetrahedral geometry is hypothesized to be the primary message encoded in the geometry of the Cydonia complex on Mars (Hoagland, 1992; McDaniel, 1993).
THE TOWER
THE TOWER The Tower represents an enigma of the highest magnitude, because it rises more than 2.85 miles above the surface of the Moon, and has been photographed from five different angles and two different altitudes (from 30 miles altitude, and from 70 miles altitude at three different distances). In all four photographs the same structure is visible and can be viewed from two different sides. The Tower exists in front of and to the left of the Shard in the Lunar Orbiter III-84M photograph. The distance from the Tower and the camera is estimated at about 200 miles, while the distance of the Shard beyond the Tower is estimated at about 230 miles. The top of the Tower has a very ordered cubic geometry and appears to be composed of regular cubes (similar in size) joined together to form a very large cube with an estimated width of over one mile! There is apparent damage to the outline and surface of this megacube, because many cubic spaces or indentations occur over its surface (these spaces are 50-60 times larger than pixel size, and their shapes are not controlled by the rectangular shape of the pixel). A narrow columnar structure connects this cube with the surface of the Moon. The columnar support is at least three miles tall, and tapers towards its base. The taper may be in part due to perspective, if the Tower is oriented at an angle and is leaning towards the camera. The leaning Tower may be part of a larger more transparent structure, which is also inclined. Surrounding the Tower are faint indications of additional light- reflective material.
The amount of light coming from this material is very small compared with the amount of light reflected off the lunar surface. In order to make it visible, the surface of the Moon has to be over-exposed on the photograph. The pattern that becomes visible above the Moon’s surface is not caused by the scan lines that make up the Lunar Orbiter photography.
The regular cubic and/or rectangular nature of this pattern, and indications of radiating structures that connect the Tower with the surface indicate that material of low light reflectivity exists above the Moon’s surface over a large area measured in hundreds of miles.
The Castle
This photo of the “castle” tower is absolutely bizarre.
Judging from the lighting in the craters on the lower left corner it is apparent the sun coming from the upper right side of the photo. If you look at the immense unlit area in the right half of the photo, it begs the question, “where is the sunlight on the surface.” The logical conclusion is that something above the surface is blocking the sun. It is in this area we find the “castle” tower. Close scrutiny by legitimate scientists places the “castle” some 9 miles above the surface of the moon.
THE CITY COMPLEX NEAR UKERT
Part of City Complex may be more like initial city image.
Photograph AS10-32-4822 in NASA catalog SP-232 is blacked out, along with several other photographs. When it was ordered, the image was of high quality, contrary to what was implied by it being blacked out in the catalog. Instead of a poor photograph, the image shows features near Ukert crater that defy conventional explanation. A linear dome-shaped hill runs diagonally across the photograph. To the north of that hill a large area exists with regularly aligned rows of structure. Within this anomalous area more than a dozen small craters can be seen that modify the landscape. From a distance the regular rows appear like benches.
On the Moon there have been no physical processes that can account for such a regular geologic structure. Upon magnification some of the rectangular structures take on a form like buildings and skyscrapers. Resolution at high magnification (for the image I saw) is not good enough to resolve more than the outlines of possible buildings. The whole area resembles what one might expect for a city the size of Los Angeles that had been abandoned and left to decay for centuries.
“Los Angeles”(NASA image AS10-32-4822)
NASA deliberately concealed this picture in the catalog because of its content, and that this area may contain one of several city complexes that were built under an enormous glass dome within Sinus Medii. The sheer implications of such massive structures on the Moon, if verified by an open and honest visit by astronauts to the Moon, would cause Man to rethink many ideas and question many beliefs about other intelligent life in the Universe.
Artists drawing of possible city on the Moon
Clearly, such structures are well beyond our current technologies, and rank with the Pyramids and Sphinx on Earth, and with the Cydonia complex and its humanoid face on Mars, as major mysteries of our Solar System.
THE DOME OVER MARE CRISIUM
Further evidence for such massive constructs on the Moon can be found in Mare Crisium.
(NASA photograph AS16-121-19438) has a strange set of large, concentric, circular light patterns within the mare. To one side an enormous spire or tower rises from the surface within the perimeter of these light circles. Magnification of the area around this spire shows cubic patterns like those around the Tower in Sinus Medii. Numerous holes of varying size can be detected within this cubic pattern, probably caused by meteorites. Around the edges of these holes, I can see layers of light-reflecting cubic glass-like material and suggestions of strands of rebar support. Below this cover on the ground there is more structure, which can be detected under some of the holes. There is an unusual interference pattern below the cubic pattern as well.
Huge glass Domes overMare Crisium
None of these patterns can be explained as normal or natural. I interpret the major cubic pattern as reflections off rebar and micrometeorite-frosted glass of the dome that covers most of Mare Crisium. I interpret the pattern below the dome as possibly caused by artificial structures on the surface of the Moon, such as the city-like construct near Ukert, and the concentric circles of light over the surface of Mare Crisium as light reflection and refraction through the remaining portions of the glass dome.
Artists concept of Dome over Mare Crisium
Triangle on Moon
Triangle UFO Found Crashed on Far Side of Earth’s Moon, Jan 6, 2014, NASA Source, UFO Sighting News.
This triangle ship was found in Ryder Crater, on the far side of the moon. It was found by Streetcap1 of YouTube who is on a constant watch for new evidence of aliens. Its detail and shape are clear indication that this was a triangular shaped craft. At the ends of the corners, the ends are turned upward which shows that this was a craft that flew both in space and in atmospheres of planets. Also, the top center is raised up. I wonder who will get to this alien tech first. The tech inside must be the stuff of dreams. SCW. NASA Source photo: is colored
The storm originated in Arkansas destroying a Nursing Home, according to Kentucky Division of Emergency Management director Michael Dossett, and touched down in Missouri and Tennessee before making its way into the Bluegrass State, where it ripped through the western half of the state before finally weakening in central Kentucky.
At least several people were killed inthe Monette Manor Nursing Home in Arkansas. A swarm of tornadoes tore a 200-mile path through the U.S. Midwest and South, demolishing homes, levelling Mayfield, Kentucky Candle Factory when its roof clasped.
Mayfield Candle Factory
A swarm of tornadoes tore a 200-mile path through the U.S. Midwest and South, demolishing homes, leveling buildings.The death toll from tornadoes and severe storms that hit several states Friday and early Saturday was at least 70, with Kentucky the hardest hit.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said earlier Saturday the death toll “could end up exceeding 100 before the day is done.”A candle factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, collapsed with 110 people inside. Only 40 people had been rescued from the rubble as of Saturday afternoon, the governor said.
Wintertime weather is driven largely by the parade of upper-level weather systems carried rapidly eastward by the high level winds known as the jet stream. The jet stream is a ribbon of high-speed wind (located at nearly 6 miles above the surface) that is related to the strength, and location, of the pole-to-equator temperature contrast. There is evidence that China may be controlling the Jet stream, that brought the worst tornadoes to the Mid-west.This apparently was the largest reaching 155 mph for 120 to 200 miles on the ground.
It is my opinion that many of these tornadoes can be decreased or stopped by airborne aircraft or rockets seeding the clouds. Hurricanes and tornados are both dependent on super cell cloud formation although hurricanes and waterspouts develop over the ocean and tornadoes develop over the land. Tornadoes and severe weather were blamed for several deaths and injuries across parts of the Midwest and the South as a storm system caused significant damage at a candle factory in Kentucky, an Amazon facility in Illinois, a nursing home in Arkansas, and numerous homes and buildings.
Many people were feared dead at the factory in Mayfield, Kentucky, where Gov. Andy Beshear called the situation “tragic” at a news conference Saturday morning.
Stop Tornadoes with Weather Modification
Tornado
The National Weather Service indicates there has been 1336 tornadoes as of October 11, 2021, so far this year, killing seventy people and causing twenty-five billion dollars destroying thousands of homes and schools. More than 18,000 people died in tornadoes in the U.S. from 1875 to 2000. It is my opinion that the government has the aircraft and facilities to curtail this slaughter.
A United Nations Treaty exists which pledges all member states to refrain from using Weather Control as a lethal weapon upon other states! The existence of this recorded law — this U.N. Treaty — proves the existence of the reality of Weather Warfare or weather modification! We now believe that American and Chinese, Russian scientists can and do control our weather. The lack of rain on the West Coast appears to be created by Chinese weather Control with their six HARP Facilities.
China launched the world’s largest weather-control machine, with the ability to modify the weather in an area similar to the size of Alaska in 2018 and nuclear capable hypersonic world circling missile ahead of US capability to defeat.
In tests, Surplus Harvard T-6 aircraft
were fitted with racks under each wing containing thirty-two railroad fuses that were impregnated with silver iodide were ignited individually or all at once, depending upon the threat. In coordination with ground units, the aircraft would lay a plume of silver iodide in front of CBs) with noticeable effect. Large, active CBs were reduced to nothing. Heavy hailstorms were reduced in intensity. This effect can be repeated in reducing the threat of tornados and floods in approaching cumulonimbus clouds.
C-130s Rain Makers
The National Severe Storms Laboratory NSSL Site Information – NOAA’s reports, “The most destructive and deadly tornadoes occur from super cells, which are rotating thunderstorms with a well-defined radar circulation called a mesocyclone. (Super cells can also produce damaging hail, severe non-tornadic winds, unusually frequent lightning, and flash floods.)
Radar readout of the May 20, tornado
The actual tornado early in its track is located in the southern reddest hook near the bottom of the image.
Recent theories and results from the VORTEX 2 program suggest that once a mesocyclone is underway, tornado development is related to the temperature differences across the edge of downdraft air wrapping around the mesocyclone.
Storm spotters look for low bands of ragged bands of low cumulus clouds extending from the main storm tower usually to the southeast or south. The presence of inflow bands suggests that the storm is gathering low-level air from several miles away. If the inflow bands have a spiraling nature to them, it suggests the presence of rotation.
The beaver’s tail is a smooth, flat cloud band extending from the eastern edge of the rain-free base to the east or northeast. It usually skirts around the southern edge of the precipitation area. It also suggests the presence of rotation. (Possible attack point) A wall cloud is an isolated cloud lowering attached to the rain-free base of the thunderstorm. The wall cloud is usually to the rear of the visible precipitation area. A wall cloud that may produce a tornado usually exists for 10–20 minutes before a tornado appears. A wall cloud may also persistently rotate (often visibly), have strong surface winds flowing into it, and may have rapid vertical motion indicated by small cloud elements quickly rising into the rain-free base. (Possible attack point)
As the storm intensifies, the updraft draws in low-level air from several miles around. Some low-level air is pulled into the updraft from the rain area. This rain-cooled air is very humid; the moisture in the rain-cooled air quickly condenses below the rain-free base to form the wall cloud. (Possible attack point)
The rear flank downdraft (RFD) is a downward rush of air on the backside of the storm that descends along with the tornado. The RFD looks like a “clear slot” or “bright slot” just to the rear (southwest) of the wall cloud. It can also look like curtains of rain wrapping around the cloud base circulation. The RFD causes gusty surface winds that occasionally have embedded downbursts. The rear flank downdraft is the motion in the storm that causes the hook echo feature on radar. (Possible attack point)
Shows upward flow of hot air that should be cooled to stop tornado
A condensation funnel is made up of water droplets and extends downward from the base of the thunderstorm. If it is in contact with the ground it is a tornado; otherwise, it is a funnel cloud. Dust and debris beneath the condensation funnel confirm a tornado’s presence. (Possible attack point) Coordination between radar, ground observers, and airborne aircraft equipped with suitable chemicals such as dry ice have the potential to disrupt the tornados, excellent comprehensive list of questions and answers about tornadoes can be found here: Website
NSSL is working to simulate storms that produce tornadoes in computer models to better understand how they form and behave. The Air Force could gain tremendous support from the American people if they could calm Tornadoes and flooding.
C-5 Aircraft
A C-5 Galaxy aircraft can carry a standard: payload of 240,000 pounds of dry ice or chemicals that could seriously affect a mesocyclone. Maximum payload capacity of the C-17 is 170,900 pounds with a service ceiling of 45,000 feet. Active or National Guard or Reserve aircraft could be fitted to drop the chemicals.
Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard fly 243 KC-135 tanker aircraft in support of AMC’s mission.Maximum Transfer Fuel Load: 200,000 pounds (90,719 kilograms) Maximum Cargo Capability: 83,000 pounds (37,648 kilograms), 37 passengers.
UAV or Remote piloted aircraft may be ideal stationed at Eglin Air Force Base Florida and Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri. Dyess Air Force Base, Texas would also be a good location. By cross-referencing desired attack times with wind and thunderstorm forecasts from weather satellites, we can predict tornadoes and tame them before they cause major damage. A central weather control would generate mission profiles for each aircraft. Using near-real-time information from a networked sensor array, and spraying the key clouds, much of the damage and loss of life could be prevented. Thanks to NSSL.

Special reports are: Navy images of blinking triangular object real, Structures on the Moon, Evict Tornadoes, Deadly Alliance of China and Russia, Strange Craft.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Florida, Kentucky, Maine, New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Croatia, , and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Russia and China together are much stronger than the US.
Russia and China have hailed a growing strategic partnership they say exceeds even those forged by competing powers during the Cold War. Apparently, there is even closer ties between Moscow and Beijing then the U.S.-led NATO Western military alliance.
In August, Moscow and Beijing took part in joint war games and signed a so-called “brotherhood” pact “establishing twinning relations.”
On the implications for Europe and Britain, “It’s terrifying for the UK because they are significantly closer to the Russian border.
Putin publicly confirmed that Russia was assisting China in creating an advanced early warning system that should alert the Beijing leadership to missile launches that might be directed at China.
The two countries agreed during a video call to increase the cooperation between their armed forces when it came to strategic exercises and joint patrols, according to Russia’s defense ministry.
“If Russia and China end up working together – they will want to put America down a few pegs.
The Biden administration reputation has been severely tarnished by what happened in Afghanistan and this has led to a lot of people questioning the credibility and reliability of the US when it comes to military interventions and activities abroad.
Aug 19, 2021 · British members of Parliament railed against President Joe Biden on Wednesday, lamenting his chaotic and dishonorable withdrawal from Afghanistan. Unpresented UK Parliament holds Biden in contempt.
America would have difficulty fighting Russia and China by itself. It would need help from other countries like the UK who is disgusted with Biden.
Red areas show Russian and Chinese control of much of the world.
Due to the surprising weakness in Washington D.C., Russia and China apparently will now support each other in times of war and with their economies. Putin seeing Biden’s weakness has massed forces around the Ukraine Border while China daily patrolling with ships and planes in the seas around Taiwan. The chance for a serious shooting war has grown greatly since the US defeat in Afghanistan. Russia and China joining forces could “potentially be catastrophic” for Western powers.
China is growing stronger daily and is conducting bio-warfare, fires and various forms of weather manipulation against the U.S. Two million illegal immigrants have entered the country bringing in large amounts of drugs killing a 100,000 Americans
Russia’s defense ministry said. “Europe is going to get caught up in the mess and they feel Biden can’t be trusted to stay in any fight.
Strategic analyst General Jack Keane (Ret.) discusses the Biden phone call with Putin as a failure as tension between Russia and Ukraine escalate and China seeks to build a military base on Africa in Atlantic Ocean port, on the coast of the small African nation of Equatorial Guinea.
President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin
On June 16, 2021 · Putin arrived in Geneva first, accompanied by foreign ministers and a translator while Biden had a large contingent. Russian President Vladimir Putin emerged stronger and likely felt he had the upper hand in the news conferences.
Putin denied responsibility for any cyber-attacks on the U.S. or for anything else. Thanks to ABC News
Joe Biden warned Vladimir Putin during a video call Tuesday – on December 8, 2021, that Russia will face sanctions if it invades neighboring Ukraine.
Biden seeks a diplomatic solution to deal with the hundreds of thousands of Russian troops massed near the Ukraine border is unlikely to work. Biden’s message did not impress Putin who ordered 28,000 Russian troops to move closer to the border. Putin remembers Obama/Biden did nothing to stop Putin from taking over Crimea. It will likely take a combined strong NATO response to deter the attack.
Putin has numerous important reasons to invade Ukraine such as he wants a clear southern route to reach his important Sevastopol Naval Base on the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea.
Russia set to invade Ukraine on ten fronts
Putin may open the attack any day before NATO’s Parliaments can discuss what they might do. Daily shooting between both sides is already going on. It’s important to mention that even with 175,000 -200,000 Russian troops in the latest estimate, invading Ukraine it won’t be an easy affair for the Russians,” “Ukraine has 250,000 troops, most battle-hardened by 7 years of conflict in eastern Ukraine. U.S. and NATO training and supplies of arms by Trump has made the Ukrainian military more effective and lethal.” Obama/Biden gave no weapons to Ukraine, but Trump provided some advanced
” China is on its way up in the world while the Biden gave up its lead on oil and gas production and must beg the Middle East to send more at double the cost. Numerous American companies are dependent on China to provide most of their goods, phones, TVs and medicine. It’s not only a massive economy – but they also have great economic power.
NATO countries may not respond to Biden after the U.S. pulled out of Afghanistan without warning leaving their forces unprotected. America would not be able to fight Russia and China by itself and NATO doesn’t trust Biden to stay in any fight.
Earlier this month, Russia warned relations with the West are “almost at boiling point”.
With NATO and Russian forces playing cat and mouse games, Putin said he would “simply destroy” any country that encroached on his country’s territory. Russia has sent nuclear bombers over Belarus and Poland whose troops are massed along their joint border over illegal immigrants.
NATO is having tensions surge over migrants between the Poland-Belarus border.
Satellites show ‘Russia massing tanks, armored vehicles and troops’ on Ukraine border as Putin ‘readies to invade’.
President Joe Biden
Thanks to Biden quick Afghanistan pull out leaving hundreds of Americans , Putin holds all the leverage since Biden approved the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline while stopping the Canadian Pipeline into the U.S. and cutting off drilling in Government lands.
Russia could invade Ukraine at any time y with a massive assault across ten fronts, intelligence chiefs have warned. Since Russia already captured Crimea n 2014., under the Obama/Biden Administration and nothing was done to stop it, Putin assumes he can get away with continuing his land grab without the U.S. doing anything significant.
President Biden needs to use leadership in getting NATO to declare they’ll fight for Ukraine if they expect to persuade Putin not to attack.
President Biden said Wednesday December 8, 2021, that putting additional U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine is “not on the table” a day after warning Russian President Vladimir Putin in a video call that he will face severe economic sanctions if he mounts an invasion. The problem is that Russia has various sanctions for years, and this threat from the US is not very convincing and shows weakness.
Vladimir Putin
Unless NATO provides a strong response, we can expect a Russian invasion or at least strong attacks along the border at any time. Obama sent blankets and medical supplies when Russia took Crimea.
The decline in American prestige worldwide during the last year is alarming and Parliaments of several countries strongly creolized the Biden Administration for pulling out U.S. airpower to support the Afghan Arm and surrendering so quickly without notifying the NATO allies. I’ll be surprised if they agree to fight for Ukraine, because our weakness will only embolden Putin.
Javelin anti-tank missiles
Trump sent Ukraine Javelin anti-tank missiles sniper rifles, and rocket launchers to Ukraine, which could strongly help Ukraine defend itself. Kiev. The Russians have used tanks effectively to take large Eastern sections of Ukrainian territory and kill Ukrainians and will likely launch massive tank attacks supported by air power.
Russian President is openly mocking the Biden for his own amusement, and he feels God is on his side”.” Putin challenged President Biden to an on-air conversation to discuss Biden’s latest warning but apparently Biden refused.
“Why would Vladimir Putin immediately call for a debate with Joe Biden with no time to prepare? Biden looks extremely weak, frail, often confused, and he is struggling cognitively. “Our world has many evil actors, many hostile regimes like Putin’s Russia, mullahs in Iran, President Xi in China, and North Korea and Kim Jong Un. They study Joe Biden and watch him closely every day. Biden is struggling to answer simple questions and is often cut off by his staff, that’s not good for the U.S. and probably the free world?
The maneuvers have stoked fear that Russia could attempt a takeover like its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Russian troops have backed separatist forces on Ukraine’s border for years, though the Kremlin has long denied direct involvement in that conflict.
Putin said last week that Russia would consider any effort by the U.S. or its allies to place weapons systems in Ukraine as a “red line” that would result in retaliation.
The Biden administration is said to be considering several options, including blocking Russia from the SWIFT international banking system. Russia and China would likely form their own banking system r that could cause the collapse of the US. Dollar that as inflated at a real t 15% so far this year.
I think Biden is going to need to have a military component in there, to change Putin’s mind.”
On December 11. 2021, the Group of Seven (G7) governments consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States issued a warning to Russia not to attack the Ukraine.
Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.
Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.
Phoenix– on November 30, 2021, was outside when I saw a zig zag star at 5:01 AM near Aurigas and Taurus. I saw at quick flash downward. This was strange e and looking up on the south sky at the stars and I saw an airplane. moving pretty fast turning west. I was following the plane, but mainly focused beyond looking at the stars.
The light flew down and maneuvered. The light was a bit brighter than the stars and bigger than the biggest star. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

A black box is something that we have all been familiarised with- with every single commercial flight being recorded on the device. Every single tug on the yoke and every single adjustment made by the pilot on the throttle gets logged dutifully by this little recording device that has been tucked away in the tail of the aircraft. This is the famous box that is used for searching and rescuing in the event of a plane crash- something the crews use to scan the crash site for any time an incident takes place in the aviation sector. The observations that this box record makes it extremely clear as to how the whole thing went down.
A Black Box To Document The Earth’s Demise
Interestingly, our planet will also be getting one of these disaster recorders too. This will be called the Black Box of the Earth, and the project is meant to record every single step on the way to the demise of the planet. The website for this contraption reads that unless humanity dramatically changes the way they live, climate change and other catastrophes will definitely lead to the extinction of our civilization.
The box will be stored in a solar-powered vault which has the length of a school bus and the shape of an upside-down curb stop, with the thing getting encased in a steel shell – which would be three inches thick – all designed to withstand any major catastrophe, quite similar to how the box functions in an aircraft.
Similar to how a black box is usually tucked inside the safest part of an airplane, the Earth’s contraption will be located in the most secure location on Earth, which is in Tasmania, apparently. When the website goes online, the box will be filled with recordings of hard drives, all storing information that is climate-related. This was reported by ABC News Australia. This project has been the brainchild of a collaboration between the University of Tasmania, an art collective referred to as the Glue Society, and a communications firm called Clemenger BBDO, and the project will start its construction in early 2022.
How Will The Black Box Work?
The black box will be collecting the measurements of temperature, the data of ocean acidification, land use data, military expenditure, growth in human population, and energy consumption. It would also be scraping forth social media posts, news headlines, and information scoured from key climate change conferences that have taken place between the different heads of state. Now, as just a piece of art, it is definitely quite marvelous. The concept image projects a sharp, angular structure that is lined with solar panels and finds itself situated on a rocky outcrop in the remotest corner of the Tasmanian desert.
The main objective of the Black Box is to be just a silent observer, where it would be constantly retaining information, in order to provide an unbiased account of the very events that led to the end of this plant. This will make it very easy for humanity to hold itself accountable for the cost that is being generated every single second, all the while inspiring urgent action. The website further states that the idea is if the Earth does end as a result of climate change, then this recording device will serve as a memoir for anyone who is left.
La Nasa a-t-elle vraiment photographié le crash d’un ovni sur Mars ?
La Nasa a-t-elle vraiment photographié le crash d’un ovni sur Mars ?
Un Youtubeur est tombé sur un cliché troublant de la sonde Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. On y voit ce qui ressemble à un crash de soucoupe volante dans un canyon de la planète Mars.
Tout est parti de la chaîne Youtube d’un certain Jean Ward. Ce dernier explique dans une vidéo qu’il était en train d’éplucher les photos prises par la sonde Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter lorsqu’il est tombé sur une curieuse traînée, qui débouche sur un “disque parfait” qui semble à moitié enterré dans la poussière et le sable à la surface de Mars.
Vous pouvez le constater par vous-même dans l’image de Une : on a aucun mal à s’imaginer un vaisseau extraterrestre s’écraser sur la planète rouge, laissant cette profonde balafre dans le sol. Les images ne sont pourtant pas trafiquées. Elles proviennent directement de la Nasa et du JPL. En fait ces clichés ne sont même pas nouveaux.
Personne n’avait relevé cette trainée étrange à la surface de Mars dans cette photo de 2006
Puisque les images datent en réalité de 2006. Néanmoins personne n’avait repéré cette étrange caractéristique du terrain jusqu’à ce youtubeur. La photo a été prise au sud de Candor Charma, une énorme carrière du système de canyons Valles Marineris. Bien sûr, il est difficile d’affirmer catégoriquement quoi que ce soit juste à partir de ces images.
Pourtant, selon Youtubeur, tout indique “qu’un vaisseau en forme de disque ou objet a atteint la surface à un angle d’incidence très faible avant de s’écraser sur la surface de Mars, laissant derrière lui cette trace étrange. On dirait un disque partiellement élevé sur un de ses côtés”. Ce dernier explique avoir calculé que l’objet mesure entre 12 et 24 mètres de diamètre – et que ce diamètre correspond aussi à la largeur de la tranchée laissée derrière lui.
Et à lire les commentaires de la vidéo, on se rend compte que de nombreux internautes semblent plutôt d’accord avec Jean Ward. L’un d’entre eux va même jusqu’à dire : “il n’y a vraiment rien d’autre que cela puisse être, à part un objet en forme de soucoupe qui s’est écrasé. Je sais qu’ils ont peur de contaminer Mars, mais j’aimerais quand même que la NASA enquête”. Ce qui a pour des raisons évidentes peu de chances d’arriver dans un futur proche.
Or, les roches, dunes, et autres caractéristiques du terrain modelées par des millions d’années peuvent aussi adopter des formes étrangement familières. Alors même qu’une observation plus précise démonte généralement le plus gros des signalements d’ovni, et l’espace est en la matière un terrain très fertile. On a en effet annoncé de nombreuses fois la découverte de caractéristiques géologiques étonnantes, comme par exemple le cas d’une dune en forme de visage. Ou encore ce cube découvert à la surface de la Lune.
D’ailleurs d’autres internautes vont d’ailleurs plutôt dans ce sens. L’un d’entre eux estime ainsi par exemple que le demi-cercle à la fin de la trainée “ressemble à une forme de dune en croissant ou dune de barchand, qui est une dune de sable qui se forme lorsque les vents soufflent dans une certaine direction et sont canalisés par le terrain”. Et vous, pensez-vous que la Nasa a immortalisé pour la première fois le crash d’un vaisseau extra-terrestre sur Mars, ou simplement une énième caractéristiques du terrain troublante qui stimule notre tendance à la paréidolie ?

NASA Enters the Solar Atmosphere for the First Time, Bringing New Discoveries
NASA Enters the Solar Atmosphere for the First Time, Bringing New Discoveries
A major milestone and new results from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe were announced on Dec. 14 in a press conference at the 2021 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in New Orleans. The results have been published in Physical Review Letters and accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal.
For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there.
The new milestone marks one major step for Parker Solar Probe and one giant leap for solar science. Just as landing on the Moon allowed scientists to understand how it was formed, touching the very stuff the Sun is made of will help scientists uncover critical information about our closest star and its influence on the solar system.
"Parker Solar Probe “touching the Sun” is a monumental moment for solar science and a truly remarkable feat," said Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Not only does this milestone provide us with deeper insights into our Sun's evolution and its impacts on our solar system, but everything we learn about our own star also teaches us more about stars in the rest of the universe.”
As it circles closer to the solar surface, Parker is making new discoveries that other spacecraft were too far away to see, including from within the solar wind – the flow of particles from the Sun that can influence us at Earth. In 2019, Parker discovered that magnetic zig-zag structures in the solar wind, called switchbacks, are plentiful close to the Sun. But how and where they form remained a mystery. Halving the distance to the Sun since then, Parker Solar Probe has now passed close enough to identify one place where they originate: the solar surface.
The first passage through the corona – and the promise of more flybys to come – will continue to provide data on phenomena that are impossible to study from afar.
“Flying so close to the Sun, Parker Solar Probe now senses conditions in the magnetically dominated layer of the solar atmosphere – the corona – that we never could before,” said Nour Raouafi, the Parker project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. “We see evidence of being in the corona in magnetic field data, solar wind data, and visually in images. We can actually see the spacecraft flying through coronal structures that can be observed during a total solar eclipse.”
Closer Than Ever Before
Parker Solar Probe launched in 2018 to explore the mysteries of the Sun by traveling closer to it than any spacecraft before. Three years after launch and decades after first conception, Parker has finally arrived.
Unlike Earth, the Sun doesn’t have a solid surface. But it does have a superheated atmosphere, made of solar material bound to the Sun by gravity and magnetic forces. As rising heat and pressure push that material away from the Sun, it reaches a point where gravity and magnetic fields are too weak to contain it.
That point, known as the Alfvén critical surface, marks the end of the solar atmosphere and beginning of the solar wind. Solar material with the energy to make it across that boundary becomes the solar wind, which drags the magnetic field of the Sun with it as it races across the solar system, to Earth and beyond. Importantly, beyond the Alfvén critical surface, the solar wind moves so fast that waves within the wind cannot ever travel fast enough to make it back to the Sun – severing their connection.
Until now, researchers were unsure exactly where the Alfvén critical surface lay. Based on remote images of the corona, estimates had put it somewhere between 10 to 20 solar radii from the surface of the Sun – 4.3 to 8.6 million miles. Parker’s spiral trajectory brings it slowly closer to the Sun and during the last few passes, the spacecraft was consistently below 20 solar radii (91 percent of Earth’s distance from the Sun), putting it in the position to cross the boundary – if the estimates were correct.
On April 28, 2021, during its eighth flyby of the Sun, Parker Solar Probe encountered the specific magnetic and particle conditions at 18.8 solar radii (around 8.1 million miles) above the solar surface that told scientists it had crossed the Alfvén critical surface for the first time and finally entered the solar atmosphere.
“We were fully expecting that, sooner or later, we would encounter the corona for at least a short duration of time,” said Justin Kasper, lead author on a new paper about the milestone published in Physical Review Letters, and deputy chief technology officer at BWX Technologies, Inc. and University of Michigan professor. “But it is very exciting that we’ve already reached it.”

Into the Eye of the Storm
During the flyby, Parker Solar Probe passed into and out of the corona several times. This is proved what some had predicted – that the Alfvén critical surface isn’t shaped like a smooth ball. Rather, it has spikes and valleys that wrinkle the surface. Discovering where these protrusions line up with solar activity coming from the surface can help scientists learn how events on the Sun affect the atmosphere and solar wind.
As Parker Solar Probe passed through the corona on encounter nine, the spacecraft flew by structures called coronal streamers. These structures can be seen as bright features moving upward in the upper images and angled downward in the lower row. Such a view is only possible because the spacecraft flew above and below the streamers inside the corona. Until now, streamers have only been seen from afar. They are visible from Earth during total solar eclipses.

At one point, as Parker Solar Probe dipped to just beneath 15 solar radii (around 6.5 million miles) from the Sun’s surface, it transited a feature in the corona called a pseudostreamer. Pseudostreamers are massive structures that rise above the Sun’s surface and can be seen from Earth during solar eclipses.
Passing through the pseudostreamer was like flying into the eye of a storm. Inside the pseudostreamer, the conditions quieted, particles slowed, and number of switchbacks dropped – a dramatic change from the busy barrage of particles the spacecraft usually encounters in the solar wind.
For the first time, the spacecraft found itself in a region where the magnetic fields were strong enough to dominate the movement of particles there. These conditions were the definitive proof the spacecraft had passed the Alfvén critical surface and entered the solar atmosphere where magnetic fields shape the movement of everything in the region.
The first passage through the corona, which lasted only a few hours, is one of many planned for the mission. Parker will continue to spiral closer to the Sun, eventually reaching as close as 8.86 solar radii (3.83 million miles) from the surface. Upcoming flybys, the next of which is happening in January 2022, will likely bring Parker Solar Probe through the corona again.
“I’m excited to see what Parker finds as it repeatedly passes through the corona in the years to come,” said Nicola Fox, division director for the Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters. “The opportunity for new discoveries is boundless.”
The size of the corona is also driven by solar activity. As the Sun’s 11-year activity cycle – the solar cycle – ramps up, the outer edge of the corona will expand, giving Parker Solar Probe a greater chance of being inside the corona for longer periods of time.
“It is a really important region to get into because we think all sorts of physics potentially turn on,” Kasper said. “And now we're getting into that region and hopefully going to start seeing some of these physics and behaviors.”
Narrowing Down Switchback Origins
Even before the first trips through the corona, some surprising physics was already surfacing. On recent solar encounters, Parker Solar Probe collected data pinpointing the origin of zig-zag-shaped structures in the solar wind, called switchbacks. The data showed one spot that switchbacks originate is at the visible surface of the Sun – the photosphere.
By the time it reaches Earth, 93 million miles away, the solar wind is an unrelenting headwind of particles and magnetic fields. But as it escapes the Sun, the solar wind is structured and patchy. In the mid-1990s, the NASA-European Space Agency mission Ulysses flew over the Sun’s poles and discovered a handful of bizarre S-shaped kinks in the solar wind’s magnetic field lines, which detoured charged particles on a zig-zag path as they escaped the Sun. For decades, scientists thought these occasional switchbacks were oddities confined to the Sun’s polar regions.
In 2019, at 34 solar radii from the Sun, Parker discovered that switchbacks were not rare, but common in the solar wind. This renewed interest in the features and raised new questions: Where were they coming from? Were they forged at the surface of the Sun, or shaped by some process kinking magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere?
The new findings, in press at the Astrophysical Journal, finally confirm one origin point is near the solar surface.
The clues came as Parker orbited closer to the Sun on its sixth flyby, less than 25 solar radii out. Data showed switchbacks occur in patches and have a higher percentage of helium – known to come from the photosphere – than other elements. The switchbacks’ origins were further narrowed when the scientists found the patches aligned with magnetic funnels that emerge from the photosphere between convection cell structures called supergranules.
In addition to being the birthplace of switchbacks, the scientists think the magnetic funnels might be where one component of the solar wind originates. The solar wind comes in two different varieties – fast and slow – and the funnels could be where some particles in the fast solar wind come from.
“The structure of the regions with switchbacks matches up with a small magnetic funnel structure at the base of the corona,” said Stuart Bale, professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and lead author on the new switchbacks paper. “This is what we expect from some theories, and this pinpoints a source for the solar wind itself.”
Understanding where and how the components of the fast solar wind emerge, and if they’re linked to switchbacks, could help scientists answer a longstanding solar mystery: how the corona is heated to millions of degrees, far hotter than the solar surface below.
While the new findings locate where switchbacks are made, the scientists can’t yet confirm how they’re formed. One theory suggests they might be created by waves of plasma that roll through the region like ocean surf. Another contends they’re made by an explosive process known as magnetic reconnection, which is thought to occur at the boundaries where the magnetic funnels come together.
“My instinct is, as we go deeper into the mission and lower and closer to the Sun, we're going to learn more about how magnetic funnels are connected to the switchbacks,” Bale said. “And hopefully resolve the question of what process makes them.”

Now that researchers know what to look for, Parker’s closer passes may reveal even more clues about switchbacks and other solar phenomena. The data to come will allow scientists a glimpse into a region that’s critical for superheating the corona and pushing the solar wind to supersonic speeds. Such measurements from the corona will be critical for understanding and forecasting extreme space weather events that can disrupt telecommunications and damage satellites around Earth.
“It’s really exciting to see our advanced technologies succeed in taking Parker Solar Probe closer to the Sun than we’ve ever been, and to be able to return such amazing science,” said Joseph Smith, Parker program executive at NASA Headquarters. "We look forward to seeing what else the mission discovers as it ventures even closer in the coming years."
Parker Solar Probe is part of NASA’s Living with a Star program to explore aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society. The Living with a Star program is managed by the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, manages the Parker Solar Probe mission for NASA and designed, built, and operates the spacecraft.
MoD won’t investigate UFOs but admits not seeing classified US report on safety threats
MoD won’t investigate UFOs but admits not seeing classified US report on safety threats

UFO investigator Nick Pope is taking his old government department to task (Picture: Channel 5/Getty Images)
The UK refuses to re-open its investigations into UFOs, despite not having had sight of a classified US intelligence report warning of dangers they pose to aeroplanes.
Ministry of Defence (MoD) officials say it’s pointless, as they’ve never observed any kind of military threat to the country from unidentifiable flying objects.
The US is taking the issue much more seriously, with the Pentagon launching a special taskforce to investigate reports of UFOs in restricted airspace.
A highly anticipated military report in June said there were still lots of unanswered questions about UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena). It warned they ‘threaten flight safety’ and may pose a challenge to US national security.
Five days later, the House of Lords had a discussion, in which Baroness Goldie, a Minister of State at the MoD, declined to re-open investigations, with the department having closed its UFO desk in 2009.
She told peers she noted the contents of the US intelligence report but said the phenomenon poses no threat and that UK air defences are adequate.
But now, Metro.co.uk can reveal the MoD never actually got a chance to see the classified version of the report. It is not clear if officials asked their US counterparts for a copy.
Nick Pope, who worked for the British Government for 21 years and ran the Ministry of Defence’s now defunct UFO desk, lifted the lid after sending a Freedom of Information Act request.
Mr Pope, 56, suspects the MoD has been put off by the ‘pop culture baggage’ of flying saucers and little green men (Picture: Getty Images)
He says the report could contain important details relevant to the UK and says it’s ‘baffling’ how quick Britain is to dismiss this topic.
Mr Pope suspects the MoD is put off by the ‘pop culture baggage’ of flying saucers and little green men, when the scope of UFOs is far wider and could include military-grade drones.
The former civil servant told Metro.co.uk: ‘The report concludes by saying there is a flight safety issue here and a possible national security challenge.
‘So you would think that the Ministry of Defence would say “Gosh, we’d better see the classified version”, but no.
‘One would expect, for example, that there would be more technical data in the classified version and details about how they’ve reached these conclusions.
‘But anyone in the Ministry of Defence who was looking at this properly, their first ports of call should be to say, “Well, let’s see the full classified version and then maybe we can bring our own expertise to the table”.
‘At the very least, this sounds like amateur hour with the MoD looking at unclassified material on the Internet where they know there’s a classified version.
‘Why wouldn’t they want the fullest data available to make a better decision about whether they should or shouldn’t re-engage on this subject?’
Mr Pope, who has been living in Tucson, Arizona for the past 10 years, accused the MoD of a ‘lazy philosophy’ of not investigating because UFOs are yet to present any ‘overt hostility’.
He added: In military terms, threat is not defined that way. it is defined as capability times intent.
‘The capability, judging by what the US is dealing with, looks pretty impressive. The intent is unknown, therefore, one can’t solve the threat equation.
‘There’s the the old adages that it’s better to assume there’s a threat and be relieved. If it doesn’t materialise, and you assume everything’s fine, you could get caught out if one does suddenly emerge.’
The US report, compiled by the Navy’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force, could not explain 143 UFO incidents and said 18 of them appeared ‘to demonstrate advanced technology’.
Mr Pope added: ‘I don’t know what the US is dealing with. It could be Russia, it could be China, it could be something else.
‘But the government, the military and Congress have have clearly said the time has come to take this seriously and find out the answer to that question.’
He said footage declassified by the Pentagon showing US pilots chasing UFOs was a ‘big wake up call for people’.

Mr Pope added: ‘This isn’t just some silly season topic. Their pilots are seeing these things, and their radar operators are tracking them. Their infrared camera systems are filming them, and I’m I’m pretty darn sure the same is going on in the UK.’
UFO provisions have been put into the National Defense Authorization Act, which which the Congress passed just a few days ago.
Mr Pope added: ‘They don’t seem they don’t have a problem with it. People like Senator Marco Rubio, they have put their reputations on the line, but nobody’s laughing at it.
‘Evidently, we need to find out if it’s in our airspace, and if we’re tracking it and seeing it, of course, we need to find out what it is.
‘Normally the special relationship would kick in and the UK and the US would be seamless on this.

‘We could take a look, because the UK has got all sorts of resources and capabilities that it could bring to the table on this, in specialist areas like imagery analysis. Maybe we could try things that the US hasn’t thought of.’
Mr Pope said UFOs spotted in restricted training areas and off-shore facilities suggest the matter could be more serious than a hobbyist flying a drone.
He added: ‘The commercial drones wouldn’t cut it, which, which poses the question – Are we dealing with something at the higher end of the spectrum?’
‘If the world’s preeminent superpower is concerned about this, we should be, too. The US has got plenty of other things to be getting on with too. If there, if they’re doing this, they’re doing it for a reason. It’s not just on a whim.
Mr Pope, 56, who now works as a journalist and broadcaster, says criticising his former employer gives him no satisfaction at all.
He added: ‘I speak out on this issue because I think it’s important, and because it concerns me when I see a potential national security issue not being properly addressed.’
The MoD says it continues to have ‘no opinion’ on the existence, or otherwise, of extra-terrestrial life and does not investigate reported unidentified flying object sightings.
A spokesperson for the department told Metro.co.uk: ‘Since 2009 the MOD no longer responds to reported UFO sightings, or investigates them as in over 50 years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom.’
Singapore-based Kelley Aerospace has officially launched the world's first supersonic unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV).
Called 'Arrow,' the drone is designed with a single-shell made of lightweight carbon fiber that allows it to reads speeds up to Mach 2.1 – exceeding the speed of sound.
The UCAV is fitted with a reduced radar cross-section and infra-red signature, and is designed for multiple combat or reconnaissance roles.
The firm says it has already received more than 100 pre-orders for the war machine, which costs between $9 million to $16 million.

Singapore-based Kelley Aerospace has officially launched the world's first supersonic unmanned combat aerial vehicle
'The Arrow is designed to complement manned aircraft and be a force multiplier in the aerial battlefield,' Kelley Aerospace shared on its website.
A manned combat aircraft would control 'multiple' Arrow UAVs, tasking 'each with a different missions.'
This would allow military officials to add a variety of weapons depending on the mission.
Kelley also says that Arrow can launch autonomously or be remotely controlled by two ground station controllers.

Arrows maximum weight is 37,038 pounds, but its monocoque design 'endows the Arrow with outstanding strength and stiffness,' the firms shared in a statement.
However, what makes this machine so special is that it is the first to travel faster than the speed of sound, which is Mach 1 – but Arrow can reach Mach 2.1.
It is estimated that it will not cost more than $16 million with prices going as low as $9 million.
Kelley notes that this 'allows more airframes to be purchased and yet, have a multi-role supersonic UCAV to perform high-risk missions as it does not necessarily need to return home.'
The firm conducted the first scale prototype test flights in 2014, Flight Global reports.
Kelley Aerospace plans to be a big player in the supersonic area, and its Arrow UCAV may be the push it needs to take over the space.

At a launch event in Singapore in December 2020, the company disclosed it was also developing a supersonic business jet.
And two prototypes are reporting undergoing testing in the USA and Sweden.
Kelley Aerospace chief executive Ian Lim says: 'UAVs are known for their persistence…loitering, [but] are never known for their speed. So with the Arrow supersonic UAV, you will overcome the issues of speed and reach.'
Other fighter jets do have the ability to reach supersonic speeds, but most are only capable of doing so for short bursts.
Last year, the Pentagon announced plans to commission a prototype for prototype of a new supersonic Air Force One that could one day ferry the president around the world at nearly twice the speed and half the time currently required to travel
And new F-35 fighter jets is one of them.
The jets, which have also been bought by the US Navy and Marine Corps, are at risk of 'structural damage' when hitting their top speeds of around 1,200mph, potentially hindering their ability to intercept other planes, according to a report by the US Department of Defense.
Last year, the Pentagon announced plans to commission a prototype for prototype of a new supersonic Air Force One that could one day ferry the president around the world at nearly twice the speed and half the time currently required to travel – but the innovation is still in early developmental phases.

Summer is back! Thankfully, the United States is slowly reopening. At this time last year, most of us were hunkered down in our homes hoping that vaccines would arrive to save us from the COVID-19 pandemic. They did, and in record time. It’s possible—at least for now—to again eat at a restaurant, visit the movie theater, and go to the ballpark. But even though we have more choices for what to do this summer than last, the heat and humidity of the season guarantee that most of us will still be spending plenty of time indoors. So we decided to revive the series of summer film recommendations we started last year. We’ll post a new list every Friday until Labor Day.
The same rules from last summer’s series apply: First, we are limiting our choices to English-language films. Yes, many great foreign-policy movies have been made in languages other than English. But we won’t pretend to know what the best movies are in Italian, Japanese, or Spanish. Second, we will only pick a movie for these summer lists once. So you won’t see 2016’s Arrival today because we recommended it last year. Third, each movie must be available to stream or rent online.
Why start with films about UFOs and aliens? Two reasons. First, filmmakers often use stories about UFOs and aliens as metaphors for personal and political relationships, showing how fear of the “other” can tear the world apart or bring it together. Second, UFOs—or if you prefer, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP)—are in the news. Late last month, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a nine-page report revealing that, indeed, many flying objects can’t be explained. The report, however, didn’t take a stand on whether aliens exist. Regardless, most Americans look to have made up their minds on the matter. A recent Pew Research poll found that 51 percent of them believe that the military’s UFO/UAP sightings are likely evidence of extraterrestrial life.
We don’t have a position on whether humanity has been visited by other residents of the universe. We do have five great movies to recommend about how UFOs and alien visitors could reshape the world as we know it. We are also throwing in a bonus pick from a colleague.
An alien named Klaatu (Michael Rennie) lands behind the White House. He is carrying a message from an interplanetary organization: Humans cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons, and Earth must submit to the organization’s supervision or “face obliteration.” When the U.S. government rejects Klaatu’s demand to address world leaders, he escapes into Washington to learn about humans. Based on Harry Bates’s 1940 short story, “Farewell to the Master,” and directed by Robert Wise, The Day the Earth Stood Still depicts benevolent aliens and heroic scientists, unlike 1951’s other popular sci-fi horror flicks, The Man from Planet X and The Thing from Another World. Producer Julian Blaustein said the movie advocated for a “stronger United Nations” as the nuclear arms race heated up. The Day the Earth Stood Still was awarded the now-retired Golden Globe for “promoting international understanding.” The American Film Institute ranked it the fifth best sci-fi movie of all time. You can watch it on Apple TV, Google Play, or YouTube.
A UFO crashes in a small California town. It’s not, however, carrying friendly aliens. Rather, it is part of the first wave of a Martian invasion. World capitals are quickly overwhelmed, and defeat seems imminent. Taking the premise of H.G. Wells’s superb 1898 novel, director Byron Haskin follows a scientist and suburbanite, played by Gene Barry and Ann Robinson, as they frantically search for the Martians’ weakness. The movie’s implicit theme is the Cold War fear of the “other” and of global conflict. At least moviegoers in 1953 knew that TheWar of the Worlds was fiction: When Orson Welles adapted Wells’s novel for radio in 1938, many listeners believed it was a real broadcast announcing a Martian invasion. The film’s “soul-chilling” special effects won an Oscar, and the American Film Institute ranked the Martians the twenty-seventh greatest movie villain of all time. You can watch The War of the Worlds on Amazon Prime, HBO Max, or YouTube.
The life of Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) is upended when UFOs fly over him in Muncie, Indiana. They leave him with a story no one believes and an inexplicable mental image of a mountain. Meanwhile, the U.S. military and researchers across the globe investigate a sudden surge in UFO sightings and mysterious incidents. Director Steven Spielberg said the U.S. Air Force and NASA refused to cooperate in the filming of Close Encounters—perhaps worrying the movie would spark public paranoia around UFOs as Jawsdid with sharks. However, President Jimmy Carter, and a lot of movie-loving Americans, were big fans. The American Film Institute ranked Close Encounters of the Third Kind the thirty-first most thrilling movie of all time. It won two Oscars, one for cinematography and the other for sound effects, while being nominated for seven others. You can find it on Amazon Prime, Google Play, or YouTube.
When summer blockbusters are being ranked, Independence Day almost always makes the list. The Earth comes under devastating attack from alien invaders. Professional armies and air forces are swept aside. A motley crew emerges as heroes as the United States rallies the world for a counterattack on that begins on, you guessed it, the Fourth of July. With explosions, rousing presidential speeches, and an all-star cast featuring Will Smith, Bill Pullman, and Jeff Goldblum, Independence Day carried an optimistic message of global unity under the banner of U.S. leadership. It’s perhaps no surprise that the movie was filmed in an era of unquestioned U.S. unipolar power—perhaps making its message sound heartbreakingly naïve a quarter century later in an age of great power competition. (Independence Day also introduced the Hollywood tradition of massive movie advertising campaigns.) Directed by Roland Emmerich, Independence Day won the Oscar for best visual effects and was nominated for best sound. You can watch it on Amazon Prime, HBO Max, or YouTube.
A spaceship arrives above Johannesburg in 1982. It’s not filled with either benevolent messengers or hostile invaders. Instead, it is full of malnourished aliens. Under international pressure, South Africa confines the aliens to a slum called District 9. Twenty years later, during a forced relocation of the aliens outside the city, extraterrestrial tinkerer Christopher Johnson (Jason Cope) is planning his escape from Earth when Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), a human, comes into contact with alien fuel in his lab and begins mutating. Director Neill Blomkamp highlights the brutality and inequality of the aliens’ lives in a clear comparison to apartheid, with particular similarities to the forced relocation of Black residents from Cape Town’s District 6 in 1966. District 9 remains relevant today in the conditions faced by refugees in dangerouslycrowded camps and international tensions over rising global migration. You can stream it on Amazon Prime, Starz, or YouTube.
If you want to brush up on the history of UFO sightings, The Phenomenon is for you. The documentaryexamines reports from the 1940s until now. Director and longtime “UFOlogist” James Foxuses archival footage and interviews from eyewitnesses and officials to make the case that the government knows more than it has told us. Terry said: “Though it takes some leaps from the existence of a government program on unidentified aerial phenomenon to the existence of extraterrestrial encounters, The Phenomenon includes intriguing new testimony from Navy pilots and former high-ranking government officials—including former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta, and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon.” You can watch The Phenomenon on Amazon Prime, Google Play, or YouTube.

Was using a old NASA index so old that even I have never heard of it. Been exploring different parts of it, learning about things I go. Posting a few things I thought you may be interested in. Here I found an alien city or base in the center of a huge crater. The map ruler says this structure is 15km across. Thats big enough to house 100,000+ people easy. I guess I should be surprised, but...I've been doing this for decades and after the first decade, very little surprises me anymore.

Remote Viewing confirms Ashtar Command base hidden in Jupiter’s clouds
Remote Viewing confirms Ashtar Command base hidden in Jupiter’s clouds
On December 17, the Farsight Institute released the results of multiple remote viewing sessions investigating the alleged existence of an “Ashtar Command” and whether it had a floating base hidden in the clouds of Jupiter.
The results of the remote viewing sessions, conducted using blind scientific protocols, support the claims of several recent ‘contactees’ that the Ashtar Command existed, and that its Jupiter facility was used as a meeting place for secret agreements reached between 14 spacefaring nations and several extraterrestrial organizations in July 2021.
After searching for the best examples of face to face interactions with aliens I came up with these 3 cases. Stay open minded, the cases haven’t been debunked and the credibility of the people involved remain intact.
PERFECT BEWAARD GEBLEVEN EMBRYO VAN EEN DINOSAURUS ONTDEKT
PERFECT BEWAARD GEBLEVEN EMBRYO VAN EEN DINOSAURUS ONTDEKT
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Het embryo onthult de verrassende wijze waarop piepkleine dinosaurussen in hun ei opgevouwen zaten.
In de afgelopen eeuw zijn behoorlijk wat gefossiliseerde dinosauruseieren teruggevonden. Maar slechts zelden herbergden die eieren tevens een goed bewaard gebleven dinosaurusembryo. Geen wonder dat wetenschappers bijzonder in hun nopjes zijn met een dinosaurusei dat enkele jaren geleden in het zuiden van China is teruggevonden en nu uitgebreid is geanalyseerd. Het ei blijkt namelijk een bijna perfect bewaard gebleven dinosaurusembryo te herbergen.
Baby Yingliang Het ei – dat zo’n 72 tot 66 miljoen jaar oud is – werd al in 2000 in de Chinese provincie Jiangxi teruggevonden. Even dreigde het in de vergetelheid te raken, tot museummedewerkers het ei tijdens het samenstellen van een nieuwe museumcollectie weer tegenkwamen. Het ei trok de aandacht, omdat het reeds dwars doormidden was gebroken en de museummedewerkers enkele botjes in het ei dachten te ontwaren. Nader onderzoek en preparatie van het fossiel onthulde vervolgens dat het een goed bewaard gebleven dinosaurusembryo herbergde, dat onderzoekers inmiddels ‘Baby Yingliang’ hebben gedoopt.
Oviraptorosaurus Afgaand op de diepe, tandenloze schedel van het embryo denken onderzoekers dat het ei een jonge Oviraptorosaurus herbergt. Dit waren gevederde, tweebenige dino’s die nauwverwant zijn aan moderne vogels en miljoenen jaren geleden in Azië en Noord-Amerika leefden.
De vondst zorgt voor enige opwinding, omdat het embryo bijna perfect bewaard is gebleven en dus meer inzicht kan geven in hoe kleine dinosaurussen in hun ei zaten opgevouwen. “We zijn heel opgewonden over de ontdekking van ‘Baby Yingliang’ – het embryo is uitstekend bewaard gebleven en kan ons helpen om een groot aantal vragen over de groei en voortplanting van dinosaurussen te beantwoorden,” aldus onderzoeker Fion Waisum Ma.
Hier zie je het gefossiliseerde dinosaurusembryo in het ei.

In de vogel-houding Zo zit het embryo – en dat is heel verrassend – ongeveer op dezelfde wijze in het ei gevouwen als moderne vogels. “We waren verrast toen we dit mooi bewaard gebleven embryo, liggend in een vogel-achtige houding, in een dinosaurusei aantroffen,” erkent Waisum Ma. “Deze houding hebben we nog niet eerder gezien bij niet-vliegende dinosaurussen.”
Een reconstructie van de dinosaurus in het ei. Het ei is 17 centimeter lang. Het embryo is naar schatting 27 centimeter lang.

De dinosaurus ligt als het ware dubbelgeklapt in het ei, waarbij de kop net onder de buik uitkomt. De pootjes liggen aan weerszijden van het lijf. Het is grofweg vergelijkbaar met de houding die vogels kort voor ze uit het ei kruipen, aannemen. Dat ook dinosaurussen met die houding bekend waren, suggereert voorzichtig dat deze al onder niet-vliegende dinosaurussen geëvolueerd is. “Het is interessant om te zien dat dit dinosaurusembryo en een kipembryo op vergelijkbare wijze in hun ei liggen,” vindt Waisum Ma. “Dit dinosaurusembryo in het ei is één van de mooiste fossielen die ik ooit heb gezien,” aldus onderzoeker Steve Brusatte. “Dit kleine prenatale dinosaurusje ziet er net zo uit als een babyvogel die opgekruld in zijn ei zit en dat is nog meer bewijs dat veel kenmerken die we vandaag de dag bij vogels zien, geëvolueerd zijn onder hun dinosaurus-voorouders.”
De wetenschappers zijn voornemens om nog meer gefossiliseerde dinosaurusembryo’s onder de loep te nemen en zo met meer zekerheid vast te stellen dat de houding van vogelembryo’s zijn oorsprong vindt onder dinosaurussen. Daarnaast mag ook Baby Yingliang zich in de toekomst in de aandacht van wetenschappers verheugen; wetenschappers willen dit zeldzame embryo graag nader verkennen. Daarbij zal gebruik worden gemaakt van verschillende beeldtechnieken om bijvoorbeeld de nog niet blootgelegde botjes in de schedel nader te onderzoeken.
Tien feiten over de James Webb ruimtetelescoop, het nieuwe paradepaardje van de astronomie
Tien feiten over de James Webb ruimtetelescoop, het nieuwe paradepaardje van de astronomie
Op 24 december wordt de James Webb Space Telescope gelanceerd. Sterrenkundigen kijken reikhalzend uit naar de resultaten van deze nieuwe ruimtetelescoop. Wat maakt de nieuwe ruimtetelescoop zo bijzonder?
1. Wat is de James Webb Space Telescope?
De James Webb Space Telescope – vaak kortweg Webb of JWST genoemd – is de grootste ruimtetelescoop die ooit is gebouwd. De uitklapbare hoofdspiegel, die het zwakke licht van verre sterren en sterrenstelsels opvangt en bundelt, heeft een diameter van 6,5 meter. Zelfs voor een telescoop op het aardoppervlak is dat behoorlijk groot. Om de gevoelige camera’s en meetinstrumenten tegen de felle zonnestraling te beschermen, is de telescoop uitgerust met een gigantisch zonnescherm dat in de ruimte moet worden uitgevouwen.
De James Webb Space Telescope is een gezamenlijk project van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA, de Europese ESA en het Canadese ruimtevaartagentschap CSA. De lancering vindt plaats met een Europese Ariane 5-ECA-raket, vanaf de lanceerbasis in Kourou, Frans-Guyana. De telescoop kan straks gebruikt worden door astronomen van over de hele wereld. Een speciale commissie selecteert uit alle binnengekomen waarnemingsvoorstellen de beste kandidaten.
2. Hoe verhoudt JWST zich tot de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop?
De Hubble Space Telescope, die in april 1990 werd gelanceerd en nog steeds functioneert, is een van de meest succesvolle instrumenten uit de geschiedenis van de sterrenkunde. Hubble heeft op elk deelgebied van de astronomie revolutionaire resultaten geboekt. ‘Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat JWST net zo revolutionair zal zijn als Hubble’, aldus de Britse kosmoloog Richard Ellis (University College London).
Webb is veel gevoeliger dan Hubble: zijn hoofdspiegel is ruim zes keer zo groot, waardoor veel zwakkere objecten zichtbaar zullen zijn. Dat betekent dat sterrenkundigen nog verder het heelal in kunnen kijken, en bovendien kleinere details kunnen onderscheiden.
Een groot verschil is wel dat de camera’s en spectrografen van JWST ontworpen zijn voor waarnemingen op infrarode golflengtes (infrarode straling is ‘warmtestraling’ die niet zichtbaar is voor het menselijk oog). Hubble deed voornamelijk waarnemingen in zichtbaar licht. Een nog belangrijker verschil is dat er geen onderhoud gepleegd kan worden aan de James Webb Space Telescope. Dat gebeurde bij Hubble wel een aantal keren – het laatst in 2009. Daardoor kon hij uitgerust worden met nieuwe camera’s, zonnepanelen, gyroscopen en boordcomputers.
3. Hoe lang is er aan JWST gewerkt?
De eerste ideeën voor een opvolger van de Hubble-telescoop dateren uit 1996. Het doel was toen om een ruimtetelescoop te bouwen met een spiegeldiameter van 8 meter. Die zou ‘slechts’ 500 miljoen dollar kosten, en in 2007 gelanceerd worden. Al snel bleek dat dat wel héél optimistisch was, zowel qua planning als qua budget.
In 2005 koos NASA voor een sterk aangepast ontwerp; de totale projectkosten waren toen al opgelopen tot een paar miljard dollar. Door tal van technische tegenslagen en vertragingen werd de bouw van de telescoop, onder leiding van ruimtevaartbedrijf Northrop-Grumman, pas in 2016 voltooid. Pas daarna kon het uitgebreide testprogramma van start gaan. Ook daarbij kwamen nieuwe problemen om de hoek kijken, waarna de covid 19-pandemie begin 2020 nog eens voor vertraging zorgde. De lancering staat nu gepland voor 18 december; de huidige kosten bedragen een kleine 10 miljard dollar. NASA-astronoom en Nobelprijswinnaar John Mather, de wetenschappelijke projectleider van JWST, is echter nooit bezorgd geweest dat het project zou worden gecanceld. ‘Er bestaat gewoon geen andere manier om te zien wat JWST straks gaat waarnemen’, zegt hij.
4. Wat gaat JWST ons leren over het heelal?
De nieuwe ruimtetelescoop heeft vier belangrijke wetenschappelijke doelstellingen, die met opzet heel breed zijn geformuleerd. Om te beginnen gaat Webb jacht maken op de ‘kosmische dageraad’: het licht van de allereerste sterren en sterrenstelsels die relatief kort na de geboorte van het heelal zijn ontstaan. ‘Dat ‘eerste licht’ werd vermoedelijk zo’n 250 tot 350 miljoen jaar na de oerknal uitgezonden’, aldus Ellis.
Een tweede doel is de evolutie van sterrenstelsels bestuderen: hoe zijn de eerste kleine, onregelmatige verzamelingen van sterren in de loop van de tijd uitgegroeid tot de grote, statige stelsels zoals onze eigen Melkweg? Daarnaast bestudeert de James Webb-telescoop het ontstaan van sterren en planetenstelsels in ons eigen Melkwegstelsel. Volgens astrochemicus Ewine van Dishoeck (Leidse Sterrewacht) kan de ruimtetelescoop de samenstelling achterhalen van het materiaal – gas, ijs en silicaten – waaruit planeten zijn samengeklonterd. Dat levert ook meer informatie op over de ontstaansgeschiedenis van de aarde.
Tot slot zal JWST in staat zijn om bestaande planeten bij andere sterren (zogeheten exoplaneten) in detail te bestuderen en te karakteriseren. Onderzoek aan de samenstelling van de atmosferen van exoplaneten biedt hopelijk ook nieuw inzicht in het ontstaan van leven in het heelal.
5. Hoe ziet het instrumentarium van JWST eruit?
De James Webb Space Telescope is uitgerust met vier wetenschappelijke instrumenten. NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera), gebouwd onder leiding van de University of Arizona, maakt foto’s in het golflengtegebied van 600 nanometer (oranje licht) tot 5 micrometer (nabij infrarood). Het is de belangrijkste camera van JWST, die vermoedelijk de mooiste plaatjes gaat opleveren.
NIRSpec (Near-InfraRed Spectrograph) verricht spectroscopische metingen in hetzelfde golflengtegebied. Door de ‘samenstelling’ van het opgevangen licht in detail op te meten, komen sterrenkundigen veel te weten over allerlei natuurkundige processen in sterrenstelsels en stervormingsgebieden, en over de aanwezigheid van molecules in de interstellaire ruimte en in verre planeetatmosferen. NIRSPec is een van de Europese bijdragen aan JWST.
MIRI (Mid-InfraRed Instrument) is een Amerikaans/Europese combinatie van een camera en een spectrometer voor langere infraroodgolflengtes, van 5 tot 27 micrometer, met een belangrijke bijdrage uit Nederland. ‘Wij hebben het Nederlandse deel van MIRI al in 2008 afgeleverd’, zegt Van Dishoeck. ‘Alle tests sindsdien, inclusief dit jaar, laten zien dat MIRI nog steeds goed functioneert.’
Het vierde en laatste instrument is FGS/NIRISS (Fine Guidance Sensor and Near InfraRed Imager and Slitless Spectrograph) – de bijdrage uit Canada. Het gaat om een combinatie van een standregel- en stabilisatiesysteem en een nabij-infrarode camera/spectrograaf.
6. Waarom kijkt JWST vooral in het infrarood?
Sterren en planeten ontstaan in kosmische wolken van gas en stof. De stofdeeltjes (in afmetingen eerder vergelijkbaar met rookdeeltjes) absorberen zichtbaar licht. Met een ‘gewone’ telescoop is het inwendige van de wolken dus niet goed te bestuderen. Op infrarode golflengtes lukt dat wel. Bovendien is de spectroscopische ‘vingerafdruk’ van verreweg de meeste molecules in het heelal ook alleen zichtbaar op die golflengtes. ‘MIRI kan een volledige inventarisatie maken van molecules’, aldus Van Dishoeck. Dat lukt ook alleen maar vanuit de ruimte: de aardse dampkring absorbeert de meeste infrarode straling uit het heelal, waardoor veel molecules, zoals bijvoorbeeld kooldioxide (CO2), helemaal niet zichtbaar zijn met een infraroodinstrument op een aardse telescoop.
Ook voor het bestuderen van het pasgeboren heelal moet je waarnemingen verrichten op infrarode golflengtes. De straling van de allereerste sterren en sterrenstelsels, voornamelijk uitgezonden op ultraviolette golflengtes en in de vorm van zichtbaar licht, heeft miljarden jaren door het uitdijende heelal gereisd, en komt daardoor met een veel langere golflengte op aarde aan – een effect dat ‘roodverschuiving’ wordt genoemd. ‘Door in het infrarood te kijken, kan JWST ons het laatste ontbrekende puzzelstukje van de kosmische evolutie opleveren’, zegt Ellis.
7. Welke baan in de ruimte gaat JWST beschrijven?
De Hubble Space Telescope draait op circa 500 kilometer hoogte in een baan om de aarde. De James Webb Space Telescope wordt echter in een baan om de zon gebracht, waarbij de ruimtetelescoop zich – gezien vanaf de zon – gemiddeld altijd zo’n 1,5 miljoen kilometer achter de aarde bevindt, in het tweede zogeheten Lagrange-punt van de aardbaan.
Overigens hangt de ruimtetelescoop niet echt stil in dat L2-punt, zoals vaak wordt gedacht, maar beschrijft hij er een wijde, enigszins zwalkende ‘halo-baan’ omheen, met een straal van circa 800.000 kilometer en een omlooptijd van zes maanden. Het grote voordeel van zo’n halo-baan is dat de zonnepanelen van JWST continu door de zon worden beschenen, en dat de telescoop geen grote temperatuurschommelingen ondervindt.
Nadelen zijn er ook: er bestaat geen eenvoudige mogelijkheid om een onderhouds- of reparatievlucht naar de ruimtetelescoop uit te voeren, en om in de beoogde halo-baan te blijven, moet Webb regelmatig een beetje worden bijgestuurd, wat brandstof kost.
8. Wat is het spannendste deel van de missie van JWST?
Wetenschappelijk projectleider John Mather hoeft er niet lang over na te denken: ‘De lancering, het uitvouwen van het zonnescherm en het uitklappen van de hoofdspiegel zijn de meest kritische fases. Als dat niet lukt, werkt de rest ook niet.’
Het zonnescherm meet in uitgevouwen toestand 20 bij 14 meter. Het bestaat uit vijf extreem dunne laagjes kunststof, voorzien van coatings van aluminium en silicium. Het scherm moet ervoor zorgen dat de ruimtetelescoop nooit warmer wordt dan 223 graden onder nul – slechts 50 graden boven het absolute nulpunt. Dat is nodig omdat de waarnemingen anders verstoord worden door de eigen warmtestraling van het instrument. De 6,5 meter grote hoofdspiegel is samengesteld uit achttien zeshoekige segmenten, en kan ook pas in de ruimte volledig worden opengeklapt. De spiegelsegmenten bestaan uit het lichte materiaal beryllium en zijn voorzien van een reflecterende goudlaag.
Tot slot moet ook de secundaire spiegel van JWST op zijn plaats worden gebracht, op het uiteinde van een uitklapbare arm. Pas als dat allemaal gelukt is, in de dagen en weken na de lancering, kan Mather weer opgelucht ademhalen.
9. Hoe lang blijft JWST in bedrijf?
De nieuwe ruimtetelescoop is ontworpen voor (en begroot op) een operationele levensduur van minimaal vijf jaar. Als er zich geen grote tegenslagen voordoen, zal dat in 2027 ongetwijfeld met nog eens vijf jaar worden verlengd, is de algemene verwachting.
Na ongeveer tien jaar in de ruimte zal de brandstofvoorraad van de stuurraketjes van JWST echter zijn opgebruikt, dus het is uitgesloten dat Webb even lang ‘in bedrijf’ zal zijn als Hubble, die inmiddels al meer dan dertig jaar meegaat.
Tegen de tijd dat het einde van JWST nadert, zullen zowel ESA als NASA nieuwe (kleinere) ruimtetelescopen gelanceerd hebben: respectievelijk Euclid en de Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Ondertussen liggen er ook uitgewerkte plannen op de tekentafel voor veel grotere ruimtetelescopen, zoals de Origins Space Telescope, HabEx (Habitable Exoplanet Observatory) en LUVOIR (Large UV/Optical/IR Surveyor). ‘Wat mij betreft zijn ze allemaal het bouwen waard’, zegt Mather. ‘Het is vooral een kwestie van hoe en wanneer.’
10. Naar wie is JWST eigenlijk vernoemd?
James Webb (1906-1992) was de tweede topman van de Amerikaanse NASA. Hij gaf van februari 1961 tot oktober 1968 leiding aan het ruimtevaartagentschap, en speelde een belangrijke rol bij het realiseren van het Apollo-programma. In 2002 maakte de toenmalige NASA-baas Daniel Goldin bekend dat de Next Generation Space Telescope naar Webb genoemd zou worden. Een enigszins opmerkelijk besluit, omdat ruimtetelescopen meestal saaie acroniemen als naam krijgen, of naar een wetenschapper worden vernoemd.
De laatste tijd is er veel druk op NASA uitgeoefend om de nieuwe ruimtetelescoop een andere naam te geven. Verschillende astronomen hebben erop gewezen dat Webb – voornamelijk vóórdat hij leiding gaf aan NASA – een dubieuze rol heeft gespeeld in pogingen van de Amerikaanse regering om homoseksuelen zo veel mogelijk uit te sluiten van bepaalde overheidsfuncties. In de zomer van 2021 heeft NASA een onafhankelijk onderzoek naar deze kwestie uitgevoerd, en even leek het erop dat de James Webb Space Telescope uiteindelijk onder een andere naam furore zou kunnen gaan maken in het ontraadselen van de geheimen van het heelal. Eind september werd echter duidelijk dat er toch voor is gekozen om de huidige naam te behouden.
James Webb werd gelanceerd vanop de basis in Frans-Guyana.

Clearly there is some buildings in these three craters on Mars. First is a rectangle structure with a round structure on its roof. Then there is a tall white tower structure. And third there is a thin grey tower structure. All of which should be impossible, and yet we have three impossible things within 60km of each other. This close proximity to each other creates a higher chance of this being authentic and created by intelligent life.
I was looking over a Mars photo when found a carving on a large boulder along a hillside. The carving is of a person standing in a short dress, with bent arm, and a pointed hat. The feet are pointing to the right, the face and and are also pointed right. This looks just like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that we have all seen. The rover has tire tracks going very close to this location, so either the NASA scientists missed it totally or they didn't want to share their discovery. So intelligent life did exist on Mars long ago. They looked like us in many ways, yet for some unknown reason, they went extinct.

Unknown Glowing Objects Over Fort Worth, Texas On Dec 23, 2021, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:Dec 23, 2021
Location of sighting:Fort Worth, Texas, USA
Watch as this bewildered eyewitness record many glowing objects falling from the sky. Even the comments below the video are trying to take best guesses at what they may be....from meteors to flares, to sky divers and yet nothing came out in news about any such event. Very interesting footage of an unknown phenomenon falling over Fort Worth.
Here is a UFO testimony compilation from astronauts and cosmonauts. Some of these clips are starting to be difficult to find. I kept it short and excluded ambiguous stories where there could be mundane explanations.
Ons leefgebied is in verval, de genetische variatie is klein, en de vruchtbaarheid taant: de val van Homo sapiens lijkt onvermijdelijk.
Mag ik u even meenemen terug in de tijd? Meer bepaald naar 1965, toen Tom Lehrer zijn livealbum That Was the Year That Was opnam. Lehrer leidde het nummer ‘So Long Mom (A Song for World War III)’ als volgt in: ‘Als er liedjes uit Wereldoorlog III moeten komen, dan beginnen we ze maar beter nu te schrijven.’ Het schrikbeeld van de nucleaire apocalyps beheerste de jaren 1960. Maar ook overbevolking baarde zorgen. Toen in 1968 de bestseller The Population Bomb van bioloog Paul Ehrlich verscheen, maakte de wereldbevolking een ongezien snelle groei door van meer dan 2 procent.
Een halve eeuw later is de dreiging van de allesvernietigende atoombom zo goed als verdwenen. En de bevolkingsbom? Er wonen vandaag meer dan dubbel zoveel mensen op aarde, en we leiden (in grote trekken) een comfortabeler, rijker leven dan iemand ook maar had kunnen vermoeden. De bevolking groeit nog steeds aan, maar het gaat maar met half zoveel vaart als in 1968.
De huidige voorspellingen lopen uiteen, maar de consensus is dat er, na een bevolkingspiek ergens halfweg deze eeuw, een scherpe daling wordt ingezet. Tegen 2100 zouden we wereldwijd al met minder kunnen zijn dan vandaag. In de meeste landen - ook in armere landen - ligt het geboortecijfer tegenwoordig ver onder het sterftecijfer. In sommige landen zal het huidige bevolkingscijfer in geen tijd gehalveerd zijn. Mensen beginnen zich stilaan zorgen te maken over onderbevolking.
"Als er liedjes over het uitsterven van de mensheid moeten komen, dan beginnen we ze maar beter nu te schrijven"
Als paleontoloog bekijk ik de dingen op de lange termijn. Zoogdiersoorten komen en gaan behoorlijk snel. Ze verschijnen op het toneel, vieren hoogtij, en gaan in rook op in pakweg een miljoen jaar tijd. Uit fossiele vondsten blijkt dat Homo sapiens al zo’n 315.000 jaar op aarde rondloopt, maar het gros van die tijd waren we een zeldzame soort. Zo zeldzaam zelfs dat de mens op de rand van uitsterven heeft gestaan - misschien zelfs meermaals. Daar ligt de kiem van de ondergang des mensen: de huidige populatie is in een verschroeiend tempo toegenomen. Daardoor is H. sapiens als soort uitzonderlijk monotoon. Er zit meer genetische variatie in een paar troepen wilde chimpansees dan in de voltallige mensenbevolking. Een gebrek aan genetische variatie is nooit goed voor de overlevingskansen van een soort.
Bovendien is het de afgelopen decennia sterk bergaf gegaan met de kwaliteit van het menselijke sperma. Dat zou de dalende geboortecijfers kunnen verklaren, en niemand weet goed hoe het komt. Vervuiling - een bijproduct van de door de mens veroorzaakte teloorgang van het leefmilieu - speelt mogelijk een rol. Ook stress is een mogelijke factor. Dat mensen zo lang zo dicht opeengepakt leven is daar volgens mij niet vreemd aan. Door zijn evolutie heen bewoog de mens zich met lichte tred over het land, en leefde hij verspreid in groepen. Het leven in steden, praktisch bovenop elkaar (en in appartementen zelfs letterlijk) is nog maar een erg recente gewoonte.
De afname van de bevolkingsgroei heeft ook economische oorzaken. Politici streven gestage economische groei na, maar dat valt niet vol te houden in een wereld met eindige hulpbronnen. H. sapiens legt nu al beslag op 25 tot 40 procent van de netto primaire productie, de biomassa die planten maken uit lucht, water en zonneschijn. Dat is niet alleen slecht nieuws voor de miljoenen andere soorten op onze planeet die daarvan leven; het zou ook funest kunnen zijn voor de economische vooruitzichten van de mens. De huidige generaties moeten harder en langer werken om de levensstandaard aan te houden die hun ouders hadden, als die standaard überhaupt haalbaar is. Steeds meer onderzoek wijst trouwens uit dat de economische productiviteit wereldwijd is stilgevallen de afgelopen 20 jaar, of zelfs is afgenomen. Dat zou mensen kunnen ontmoedigen om aan kinderen te beginnen, of dat ze het zo lang uitstellen dat hun eigen vruchtbaarheid begint af te nemen.
Een bijkomende factor in de krimpende bevolkingsgroei is iets wat we alleen maar kunnen toejuichen: de economische, reproductieve en politieke emancipatie van vrouwen. Die begon nauwelijks meer dan een eeuw geleden, maar heeft nu al de beroepsbevolking verdubbeld en het opleidingsniveau, de levensverwachting en de economische mogelijkheden van de mens in het algemeen omhoog gestuwd. Dankzij betere voorbehoedsmiddelen en gezondheidszorg hoeven vrouwen niet zoveel kinderen meer te dragen om te verzekeren dat ten minste enkele de gevaarlijke eerste levensmaanden overleven. Maar als we minder kinderen krijgen, en dat op latere leeftijd doen, dan valt te verwachten dat de bevolking zal krimpen.
De meest verraderlijke bedreiging voor de mens is iets wat we ‘extinctieschuld’ noemen. Op een zeker moment wordt uitsterven onontkoombaar, voor elke soort, hoezeer het ze ook voor de wind gaat, en wat die ook doet om het af te wenden. De oorzaak is doorgaans een vertraagde reactie op het verlies van habitat. Het risico is het grootst voor soorten die een specifieke biotoop domineren ten koste van andere soorten, die daardoor wegtrekken en dus meer verspreid leven. De mens bezet min of meer de hele planeet, en met ons onevenredig grote verbruik van wat die wereldwijde biotoop produceert, zijn wij de dominante soort. Het doodvonnis van H. sapiens is dus misschien al getekend.
De tekenen aan de wand zijn er voor zij die ze willen zien. Wanneer de habitat zozeer in verval raakt dat er minder hulpbronnen zijn voor iedereen; wanneer de vruchtbaarheid afneemt; wanneer het geboortecijfer onder het sterftecijfer zakt; en wanneer de genetische hulpbronnen beperkt zijn - dan is het eind in zicht. De enige vraag is hoe snel het zal komen.
Ik vrees dat de menselijke wereldbevolking niet louter een krimp te wachten staat, maar een complete instorting - en gauw. Om het vrij naar Lehrer te zeggen: als er liedjes over het uitsterven van de mensheid moeten komen, dan beginnen we ze maar beter nu te schrijven.

The earliest records could even be in the form of paintings by our caveman ancestors - perhaps showing that the UFO sightings now subject to official probes in Washington and Beijing are really nothing new.
A stone age carving dating from 8,000BC, said to show 'astronauts' in northern Italy
Earlier this year, a long-awaited Pentagon report admitted experts could not explain some 144 reports of "unidentified aerial phenomena".
It was slammed as a "whitewash" by believers even though top brass said they could not rule out an alien origin for the sightings.
More than 500 relics made of jade have been unearthed at the site of the former capital of the Xia Dynasty which ruled from 2070BC-1600BC.
The green colour and pointy ears are said to be evidence of contact with another civilisation.
The growing popularity of the theory even led to an official denial of any alien link.
"Some artistically exaggerated goddess statues cannot be said to be 'aliens,'" said Lei Yu, an archaeologist at the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics and Archaeology Research Institute.
Ezekiel's vision
The Bible's Book of Ezekiel describes how the prophet saw a flying chariot emerging from a whirlwind and a cloud of fire.
The chariot was carried by four human-like angels each with four faces, and below it were four mysterious wheels.
Scholars claim it was around 593BC in modern day Kuwait. But there has been fierce debate on how to interpret the verses.
Famed Swiss Ufologist Erich von Däniken claimed it was evidence of an alien visitation, rather than a vision from God.
He was so convincing that Nasa scientist Josef Blumrich later wrote a book explaining how such a craft would have operated.
Classical history
Roman chronicler Livy left a fascinating account of "many prodigies" spotted in 214 BC, including "phantom ships" that were "seen gleaming in the sky".
The historian Plutarch wrote about an even more remarkable event during a battle in 74BC.
He said "with no apparent change of weather, the sky burst asunder and a huge, flame-like body was seen to fall between the two armies.
"In shape it was most like a wine-jar, and in colour like molten silver."
Thousands of onlookers, including enemy leader King King Mithridates VI, apparently confirmed the truth of the story.
Another eminent scholar, Titus Flavius Josephus, wrote about a "miraculous phenomenon defying belief" in the first century AD.
It involved "chariots and armed battalions hurtling through the clouds and encompassing the cities".
Princess from the Moon
Archives in medieval Japan record how a woman arrived in a strange round vessel
One of Japan's most famous legends dating from around 1,000 years ago tells the story of “The Shining Princess”.
Kaguya is said to have been found as a baby inside a shining bamboo stalk, and when she grows up the Emperor is desperate to marry her.
But she rejects him explaining she is not from the Earth, and a craft arrives to take her home to the Moon.
Official records tell how a woman did arrive in Japan in a round vessel which some claim is a classic flying saucer shape.
The Nuremberg 'UFO battle'
A newsletter reports sightings of a 'UFO battle' over Nuremberg
In 1561, witnesses said they saw the sky filled with bright shining objects in Nuremberg, Germany.
They ranged from "blood-red semi-circular arcs" to dark balls of "black ferrous colour".
They rushed back and forth and "fighting among themselves", according to contemporary newsletters.
Eventually they fell onto the earth and "wasted away" with "immense smoke".
A similar UFO battle was reported five years later in Basel, Switzerland.
Witness said numerous red and black balls were "fighting" in the sky over several days, accompanied by unusual sunsets and sunrises.

Is this a flying saucer in The Baptism of Christ by Aert De Gelder?
In the world of psychics, Nostradamus is a tough comparison to live up to, but Athos Salomé seems ready for the challenge. The Brazilian psychic and paranormal investigator has also been compared to Baba Vanga, and some go so far as to suggest he’s a direct descendant of Nostradamus. Is he any of these or just another spoon-bender with a good publicist?
“In the year 2012 talking to a well known acting Pastor in my hometown, I left it recorded by Facebook messenger even if unconsciously something related to the world covid pandemic for the year 2020/2021. I didn’t take it seriously and it became reality, with studies we can prove the truth of facts.
On the 2803/2021th at 21:18 pm I left it registered via email encoded with password 2 PDF / Word files for two people I have confidence in, information about new events, in the same report about the new variant and that it was to pay attention guess where? Africa”
On his Facebook page, Athos Salomé gives two of his predictions which came true this year as proof he’s a real psychic – he even adds a flair of drama by recording the predictions beforehand. Not much is known about him. MarketWatch reports he’s a self-taught psychic and a parapsychologist, but he’s also known for his work as a model scouter helping people start modeling careers and as producer of the “Beleza Mundial Contest,” the “Look of The Year” and “Mister Earth Brazil” he’s obviously dedicated to modeling, so how did Athos Salomé become known as the next Nostradamus?
“Athos is recognized for constantly employing historical research in his paranormal investigations to give step-by-step recommendations on a specific paranormal analysis; he comprehended the significance and the usage of paranormal analysis using his expertise in KABALLA. He is well-known for conducting paranormal studies into unexplainable parts of human experience.”
Sypstudios.com recently pursued the question and found that Athos has predicted also claimed to have predicted terrorism outbreaks, China’s rise as the world’s most powerful economic power, vaccines are becoming obsolete, the virus becoming incurable, a phony peace deal involving China, the advancement of robotics technology, and signs of a third world war. These are pretty general, but he also predicted the death of another member of the English Royal Court besides Prince Philip and he still has a few days left — Queen Elizabeth II has been ill recently.
That doesn’t seem like enough evidence to warrant comparisons to Nostradamus and Baba Vanga, let alone implying he is a direct descendent of Nostradamus. One account says Salomé prefers to compare himself to a 90-year-old “witch and Parapsychologist Marripe Faul Abeilice (RAMA 4)” who is claimed to be “very known and respectful worldwide” but doesn’t seem to come up in any searches.
What should we make of Athos Salomé? He seems to be a good-looking guy (photo here), the kind you find in the modeling business more than in the psychic trade. He doesn’t seem to have any predictions for 2022 – does he have them sealed in an envelope that he mailed to someone else? That’s more of a trick of the spoon-bending kind, which a legitimate psychic would not want to be associated with.
Let’s see some more recent and accurate predictions from Athos Salomé before we link him to Nostradamus, Vanga or possibly Geller.

Project Camelot: Rebel Gene: Secret Space and the Future of Humanity
Rachael continues her interview of Kerry Lynn Cassidy of Project Camelot.
Kerry Lynn Cassidy of Project Camelot and Rachael discuss Kerry’s book REBEL GENE: Secret Space and the Future of Humanity. The conversation centers around Kerry’s own life experiences, how she started researching UFO’s and became CEO of one of the largest online niche networks on the topic.
Kerry shares not only the names and her opinions of famous people she has interviewed over her 17 year career with Project Camelot, but also her deeply personal dream and psychic experiences as well as spiritual journeys via mediation. Kerry maintains that human DNA is a result of a mixture of various alien races and alien artificial intelligence.
I found a tower that has the reflectivity of a metallic structure on Earths moon. I was searching through the ISRO archives...thats the Indian Space Research Organization. They often post photos without totally editing out all the alien artifacts, so I like to visit them every now and then. The tower sits in a crater to the left of Summerfeld crater. Since we know Summerfeld crater is 169km in diameter, I can safely estimate that the crater this tower is in is 70km across. The crater is about 4km deep and this tower at its bottom is 3km tall. If thats not alien then I don't know what is.
Making Contact – Neil deGrasse Tyson on Alien Life
Making Contact – Neil deGrasse Tyson on Alien Life
How would scientists tell the world if they found evidence for alien life? According to SETI, the probability of finding alien life somewhere in the Milky Way is high, based on a number of studies showing that our galaxy contains countless Earth-like planets that orbit sun-like stars. Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks we are probably not alone given the fact how many stars there are in the galaxy not to mention the entire universe. Other prominent scientists also think we will most likely find compelling evidence for extraterrestrial life relatively soon. Undoubtedly evidence for alien life would be the biggest discovery in human history.
NASA’s 2021 Included Mars Landing, First Flight, Artemis, More - PART I
NASA’s 2021 Included Mars Landing, First Flight, Artemis, More - PART I
In 2021, NASA completed its busiest year of development yet in low-Earth orbit, made history on Mars, continued to make progress on its Artemis plans for the Moon, tested new technologies for a supersonic aircraft, finalized launch preparations for the next-generation space telescope, and much more – all while safely operating during a pandemic and welcoming new leadership under the Biden-Harris Administration.
“At NASA, we turn science fiction into science fact, and we do it daily. From continuing to launch astronauts to the International Space Station from American soil to landing the Perseverance rover on Mars and logging the first flight on another planet, 2021 was a banner year for the world's premier space agency and all of humanity,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson, who was sworn into office May 3 by Vice President Kamala Harris. “Next year, NASA will accomplish more daring feats with new discoveries and technological advancements, especially as our Artemis I mission paves the way for future crewed missions to the Moon – and beyond.”
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy visited the agency’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans on Dec. 8, 2021 for tours and briefings on Michoud’s role in the Artemis program and other capabilities that enrich many facets of the nation’s space exploration endeavors.

Among the many science accomplishments for the year, NASA continued preparations to launch the James Webb Space Telescope on Dec. 24 from French Guiana, successfully landed the Perseverance rover on the surface of Mars, and piloted the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter – the first powered, controlled flight on another planet.
NASA welcomed back to Earth the first two sets of commercial crew astronauts to complete expedition missions aboard the International Space Station and launched Crew-3 to the orbiting laboratory. During the Crew-2 mission, astronauts spent a U.S. record-setting 199 days in orbit, surpassing the 168 days set by Crew-1 mission earlier this year.
The agency advanced plans to explore more of the Moon through Artemis, pledging to send the first woman and first person of color to the lunar surface. To pave the way for future lunar missions with crew, NASA completed stacking of its Space Launch System rocket, with its Orion spacecraft for the Artemis I mission launching in spring 2022. In addition to other highlights, NASA also picked SpaceX to continue the development and demonstration of the first commercial human lunar lander.
This year, the Biden-Harris Administration tapped NASA to join the White House Climate Task Force. The agency also established a new position of senior climate advisor and released a climate action plan aimed at averting mission impacts due to climate change.
NASA also took action to roll out aviation technology to more airports to help save time for passengers, pushing the boundaries of making aeronautics more green and more efficient.
Solar System and Beyond
Prior to the targeted Dec. 24 launch of the Webb Telescope, NASA this year completed testing and sent the telescope on a 5,800 mile journey by sea to its launch site in French Guiana.
Webb is the agency’s final launch this year, and was preceded by several other scientific missions launches, including the cosmic X-ray studying Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), the asteroid-studying Lucy spacecraft, the world’s first planetary defense test mission – the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – and two CubeSat missions.
On Saturday, Dec. 11, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was secured on top of the Ariane 5 rocket that will launch it to space from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.

NASA selected multiple new missions for development, including two to Venus, Earth’s nearest planetary neighbor: DAVINCI+ (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) and VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy). The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) mission will study gamma rays to chart the evolution of the Milky Way galaxy.
Spacecraft and rovers already in space continued to help advance our understanding of the universe, providing a variety of new findings.
NASA’s Perseverance rover’s two-year science investigation of Mars’ Jezero Crater is studying the rock and sediment of Jezero’s ancient lakebed and river delta and aiding in the search for signs of ancient microbial life. Actions included:
The Perseverance rover drilled, extracted, and sealed its first rock core into its sampling tube. The core now is enclosed in an airtight titanium sample tube, making it available for retrieval in the future.
The mission is the first step in the round trip Mars Sample Return campaign, being planned by NASA and ESA.

Ingenuity became the first aircraft to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet, and recently completed more than 30 minutes of cumulative flight time.
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe mission touched the Sun to provide us the first ever direct observations of the solar atmosphere, the corona, as well as traveling by Venus, where it gave scientists the first complete look at Venus’ orbital dust ring, detected a bright rim around the edge of the planet that may be nightglow, and discovered natural radio emission.
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory detected evidence of a possible planet transiting a star in another galaxy, and, for the first time, it detected X-rays from Uranus.
A small near-Earth asteroid (NEA) made history, becoming the 1,000th NEA to be observed by planetary radar in just over 50 years.
Using Hubble and Swift data, scientists identified a new type of supernova. Hubble data also helped astronomers trace the locations of five brief, powerful radio blasts to the spiral arms of distant galaxies.
Using observations from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers discovered a trio of hot worlds larger than Earth orbiting a much younger version of the Sun.
NASA researchers, facilities, instruments, and spacecraft were involved in many more scientific activities in 2021. Highlights this year included:
Highlighted two solar eclipses this year including a partial solar eclipse in June and a total solar eclipse in December visible to people in Antarctica. Observations of total solar eclipses revealed the Sun’s corona maintains a fairly constant temperature despite its solar cycles.
Provided a closer look at a nearby star, which allows scientists to better understand what our Sun may have been like when it was young, and how it may have shaped the atmosphere and development of life on Earth.
Set up the infrastructure for a 2022 sounding rocket launch in Australia. This progress represents a return to launches for Australia and the first time NASA will launch a sounding rocket from a non-U.S. commercial launch pad.
NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft fired its main engines full throttle and departed the near-Earth asteroid Bennu and set its course back to Earth with an abundance of rocks and dust sample.

A solar “Rosetta Stone” explosion that contained components of three different types of eruptions revealed new clues that could help scientists solve the long-standing mystery of what causes the Sun’s powerful and unpredictable eruptions.
The U.S. Postal Service issued a set of stamps highlighting views of the Sun from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, celebrating a decade of the mission.
Using combined data from three NASA satellites, scientists found that parts of the upper atmosphere are gradually contracting in response to rising response to rising human-made greenhouse gas emissions.
Research conducted by NASA’s Biological and Physical Sciences Division contributed to scientific discoveries that will both enable humans to thrive in deep space and benefit life on Earth. This past year, researchers made significant discoveries in quantum science using the International Space Station’s Cold Atom Lab, examined the underlying causes of muscle loss, advanced the knowledge needed to grow plants in space, and continued soft matter investigations on colloids, which could have myriad benefits in the development of household products and drug treatments.

"THAT FIRST MONTH IS GOING TO BE ROUGH."
ESA
Countdown
Astronomers are counting down the days until the launch of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) later this week — and anxiety surrounding the long-awaited launch is starting to creep up as well.
The massive project has been in development for decades and has cost the agency around $10 billion. The very real possibility of something going wrong is really starting to keep astronomers up at night, NPR reports.
“I am so nervous!” Jackie Faherty, an astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, told NPR. “And excited.”
The Unraveling
The plan is for an Ariane 5 rocket to take the telescope into space after launching from a European facility in French Guiana on Christmas eve.
Even once in space, the gigantic structure will have to unfold its 21-foot mirror, a process that takes almost an entire month.
“We’ll have our 29 days of terror as we’re watching things being deployed,” astronomer Garth Illingworth of the University of California, Santa Cruz, told NPR. “That first month is going to be rough.”
A lot of things could go wrong, as laid out in an extensive eight-minute video shared by the JWST team.
“We have 300 single-point failure items and they all have to work right,” Mike Menzel, lead systems engineer of the telescope, said in the video. “When you’re a million miles from the Earth, you can’t send someone to fix it.
The stars will truly have to align for NASA to pull this off.
But the payoff could be equally huge. The James Webb could usher in a new era in space exploration, and allow us to see the universe in unprecedented detail.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur In 1958: UFOs Are Real And Something Needs To Be Done With Them
Gen. Douglas Macarthur In 1958: UFOs Are Real And Something Needs To Be Done With Them
An elite group of scientists and military officers gathered for a very private meeting in New York City in 1958. Their purpose was to discuss UFOs and the principal speaker at the meeting was none other than Gen. Douglas MacArthur, perhaps the greatest military leader of modern times.
His record as the Supreme Commander in the Pacific theater during World War II, and his conflict with Pres. Harry Truman during the Korean War, have been the subjects of several books, TV dramas, and a recent motion picture.
Less well-known is the fact that the General was an avid student of the UFO phenomenon. He was even obsessed with the subject and he feared that UFOs were hostile invaders from some other planet.
In the wake of the massive UFO wave of 1957, there were many quiet meetings all across the country. The U.S. Air Force, which had tried to get out of the flying saucer business in 1955 with the release of the Project Blue Book Report Number 14, a debunking attempt, found itself once more embroiled in controversy.
The CIA’s Project Windfall, a covert investigation of UFO contactees, was enmeshed in bureaucratic bumbling and confusion. Maj. Donald Keyhoe’s new organization NICAP was tilting at governmental windmills, trying to force the issue and alert an apathetic Congress. The news media and the general public regarded the whole UFO affair as a carnival.
But General MacArthur knew better. In his deep, articulate voice he told the 1958 meeting that he believed an extraterrestrial military force was scouting this planet preparatory to a massive invasion. He felt that we should be working to develop weapons and plans to combat the invaders. As an initiator years, until after MacArthur’s death in 1964. Details of the meeting were kept secret for years, until after MacArthur’s death in 1964.
In an interview with columnist Henry Taylor in 1955, MacArthur had already publicly revealed his concern over unidentified flying objects and their possible impact on our civilization. He was then living in retirement in the Waldorf Towers in Manhattan and felt free to express his conclusions that UFOs were real and posed a horrible threat. An arrogant, self-assured man, MacArthur was not afraid to speak his mind.
He had crossed swords with Truman when he had blatantly ignored presidential orders during the Korean War. He had graduated at the top of his class at West Point and worked his way up to the post of Army Chief of Staff in 1930, at the age of 50.
He was not at all reluctant to assume responsibility, and he didn’t hesitate to stomp on the less competent people around him. During World War ll he built a military empire in the Pacific, and after the war he directed the conversion of Japan to a democracy.
So it didn’t bother him that the official U.S. Air Force position was that UFOs were weather balloons, hoaxes, and falling stars. He thought the public should know the truth … at least the truth as he saw it.
What were his conclusions based upon? Military men, particularly generals, are pragmatists. They act on facts, not theories. General MacArthur began to collect facts about UFOs during World War ll. The mysterious “foo fighters” appeared in the European theater in 1943, but reports of their appearances were at first suppressed by military intelligence because they were thought to be secret German devices.
German pilots were also seeing the strange objects and thought they were some Allied secret weapon. By 1944, the phenomenon had spread to the Pacific. American ships and planes saw the objects, even shot at them. Incredible “flying submarines,” huge cylindrical objects, rose up from the water and flew away in full view of the entire crews of ships. As in Europe, reports of these incidents were stamped Top Secret and shuffled all the way to MacArthur’s headquarters.
McArthur took a personal interest in these puzzling reports and, thinking they could relate to some Japanese development, he set up a small group of intelligence officers to collect and study them. As the pile of reports grew, the team realized they were dealing with a totally unknown technology.
In some cases, American radar had detected gigantic objects, larger than any known aircraft, flitting about the Pacific. Several military planes sent up in pursuit of these things either crashed inexplicably or disappeared altogether
Radio transmissions and radar were frequently jammed in areas where the UFOs were active. By 1945, the intelligence men were convinced-and they convinced MacArthur-that the mysterious aerial objects were of extraterrestrial origin and were hostile.
Paradoxically, other unrelated intelligence teams operating in Europe came to a different conclusion. The RAF’s Foo Fighter investigation, launched by General Massey in 1943. decided the objects were harmless and were probably natural phenomena of some sort. The director of the RAF’s intelligence branch, R. V. Jones, became steadfastly anti-UFO. American intelligence in Europe fared even worse.
The reports of American pilots were never centralized and studied, but were simply scattered throughout the massive files. Only General MacArthur and his men in the Pacific had undertaken a systematic investigation, and their findings were jealously isolated from their European counterparts, and even from the Pentagon.
When the war ended in 1945, the European Foo Fighters were all but forgotten, but the phantom fliers continued to be seen around the Pacific, particularly around Okinawa and the islands where the U.S. was installing its first atomic age air bases. And those Top Secret reports continued to pile up on General MacArthur’s desk.
A five-star general has considerable power, and MacArthur not only ruled his empire with an iron hand, the tentacles of his intelligence service spread around the world. This was proven by a curious incident in Britain in the fall of 1946.
That summer, northern Europe was inundated with “ghost rockets,” unidentified cigar-shaped objects which appeared over Norway, Sweden, Finland, and even as far south as Greece and Morocco. The Scandinavian countries launched full-scale investigations, fearing the “rockets” were of Russian origin. (The Russians had no rockets at that time and most of the top German rocket scientists hap been captured by the Americans.)
Soon after the “ghost rocket” wave subsided, RAF lntelli_gence received a report that a rocket had crashed outside of London. It proved to be a complete hoax and was never revealed to the press .. . or anyone else. The intelligence officers who had investigated it were so embarrassed they tried to keep the whole thing secret. But within a few days a telegram reached the RAF Commander. It was from Gen. Douglas MacArthur in Japan and he asked for details on the unidentified rocket that had crashed in England!
Obviously, General MacArthur was tuned into everything happening everywhere, and he was particularly interested in reports about unidentified flying objects.
Twenty years later, R. V. Jones revealed the story of MacArthur’s telegram in a public speech. Wartime witnesses of UFOs in the Pacific and Europe eventually told their stories to civilian UFO organizations and professional writers compiling books on the subject.
The Korean War brought a new surge of UFO sightings in the Pacific, and many of these reports found their way into print. Even Life magazine devoted considerable space to them. The great American UFO wave of June-July 1947 had stirred public and press interest in flying saucers and they had become a human interest subject like sea serpents and Abominable Snowmen. But to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who had been collecting reports since 1944, there was nothing amusing to the endless sightings.
When he retired into civilian life (actually, he was fired by President Truman), MacArthur maintained his interest in UFOs. He collected books and magazines about them and, according to a person who was close to him in the last years of his life, he talked for hours about the threat from outer space to anyone who would listen.
In 1962, Pres. John F. Kennedy invited the aging general to the White House and they spent two hours together in private discussion. We don’t know if UFOs were ever mentioned in that talk. Kennedy later said they had talked about Vietnam and MacArthur had outlined why we should never get into a land war in the Orient (whatever happened to that excellent piece of advice?).
Soon afterward, President Kennedy announced that he was going to pour billions of dollars into a space program designed to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade.
One of General MacArthur’s final public appearances was a speech he delivered at West Point in which he told the young cadets that “the next war” would be fought in space when a united mankind would battle “evil beings” from some other planet.
The speech was widely quoted in the press at the time, but there was no discussion of it and it had no impact. To some, it was just the harmless babbling of an old man (he was 84 when he died). To others, it was a sober warning from a man who had had access to information denied ordinary ufologists, a man not given to uttering casual, unsubstantiated admonishments. We ignored his advice about Vietnam. Can we afford to ignore this?
By John A. Keel, Originally Published in UFO Report Magazine,
A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article on why it is so difficult to solvethe Roswell affair of July 1947. I pointed out that in all likelihood Roswell was covered by what is known as a Special Access Program. An SAP would be the ideal operation to keep the Roswell mystery hidden. And, potentially, forever. Does that mean we are never going to solve the puzzle? No. It just means we have to come up with even more alternative ways to get the answers. Could that be done? Well, yes, to some degree. For example, as you’ll see, I know the names of some very obscure military people (and government people, too) who were out at the crash site on the Foster Ranch, Lincoln County, New Mexico when the crash occurred, and whose names have seldom been discussed or investigated. They are in this article. So, my approach – if we can’t access the material in the SAP – is that we should go after just about every single military document that is relative to anyone and everyone who we know, for sure, was at the site and saw what it was that we want to know. It’s not an impossibility. Going through every bit of their military documentation might prove to be daunting – and it may annoy, or even anger, the families of those who were on-site back in 1947. But, the important thing is that a really big, widespread research project on the part of the UFO research community is not impossible. With that said, now onto some of those who went to their graves knowing the truth of Roswell and whose military files just might give us at least something; even if it’s just a finger-point in a certain direction or two. And, then, we need to dig deeper than we ever have before.

My first trip to the area where everything went down
Around twenty years ago, I began working full-time – for about five years – for Ryan Wood doing a lot of research to try and solve various aspects of the UFO phenomenon in 1947 – and not just Roswell, but other UFO events in that era too. And also claims of dead aliens and so on. This project led me to undertake a number of trips to the National Archives, Maryland that, collectively, covered a period of around two or three weeks, 9 to 5. In doing the work I came across several interesting figures. One was a man named Frederick Hauser, a military doctor at the time of the Roswell affair. Hauser knew of Roswell. Another one who knew a great deal – and who may have seen the bodies – was a man named Conrad Zerbe. He certainly saw a great deal of photographic material of an “interesting” type. Much of the research that led to names like the ones you’ll see in the next paragraph came about due to National Archives-based research. Not just by phoning family members. I also know, as a result of all this research, that at one point – in the very early 1980s – the U.S. Air Force approached Zerbe to try and help them figure out what really happened at Roswell – because the Air Force of the 1980s didn’t know…but they most assuredly wanted to know. That’s right: even the U.S. Air Force of the 1980s was out the loop of Roswell.

From outside to inside
Zerbe was a deeply worried man. Particularly so when he got at least several visits from Air Force Intelligence across a period of three weeks. And, he finally clammed up; filled with fear. That’s not quite the end of it though: I have heard fascinating rumors that Zerbe – who was definitely at the crash site – took certain photos with him and did not hand them over to those in the military who were running the containment of the ranch in the hours and days after the crash. Zerbe’s link to the Roswell saga revolves around the matter of a certain, large number of photographs taken out at the crash site of the whatever-it-was that came down on the ranch in the summer of ’47. A Roland Cliff, a military man named Loomis, a civilian in the program named Bohanon, and an Ed Guill, were in the know, when it came to (A) the matter of what happened and (B) who knew what the photos really showed. Should we go after the photos? Of course, we should! But, of equal importance, for example, we should follow some of the more obscure files of 1947 that are available at the National Archives. There are some fascinating ones. And, I’ll share one example with you.
On my very first trip to the National Archives in 2001 I found a fascinating, but brief, document that reads as follows, and prepared by a Mr. Roddy: “Investigation of the unknown missile which landed near Guadeloupe on 12 October 1947 has failed, so far, to identify it as a V-2, GAPA or other type of guided missile. Careful check by USAF, Ordnance, and Navy indicates that no missiles were fired from Alamogordo Special Range or White Sands Proving Ground on 12 October 1947. Army Ground Forces has eliminated possibility of an anti-aircraft target having gone astray. Negotiations with the Mexican Government for the Long Range Proving Ground for guided missiles, which have been started through the State Department, may be jeopardized if Mexico is dissatisfied with the investigation. It is understood that newspaper statements that fragments of a V-2 have been identified are disturbing the Mexican Government.”

Driving by the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico
Now, from the available material above, I don’t think – at all – this story tells of a crashed alien spacecraft. I’m absolutely sure that what was found was a missile. But, whose missile? A German V-2 from the very seedy Paperclip program? From the document it didn’t seem that’s what it was. I don’t know what it was. Neither did the U.S. military: the document specifically calls the finding an “unknown missile.” That document was not found in any early UFO files. I found it while searching around a couple of hefty files concerning 1947-era activity on what, back then, was called the White Sands Proving Ground. On so many occasions I found UFO-themed documents in the National Archives that weren’t in any the old Project Sign or Project Grudge files, but that were deep in files from White Sands. What this all means is that we need to take the approach that was taken when I spent around five years going all across the U.S. chasing down people, places and documents. Keep pushing – and do so for years, if needed. Take alternative ways. Look into files that, at first glance, might seem to be irrelevant, but that may send us to the next part of the story. Of course, not everyone has the funding to run a nationwide Roswell research program for five years. But, that might be exactly what is needed. And, it just might solve the enigma of what really came down in New Mexico in July 1947. It worked for five years. It can work again. It might find the answers.
Snow is glowing in the Russian Arctic. The culprit? Tiny sea creatures.
Researchers found marine copepods in the snow near the White Sea Biological Station in the Russian Arctic emitting a bright blue glow, in the first sighting of its kind.

Snow is glowing in the Russian Arctic. The culprit? Tiny sea creatures.
Tiny bioluminescent animals called copepods recently lit up the snow near a remote field station, in the first documented sighting of its kind.
BY ELIZABETH ANNE BROWN
High in the Russian Arctic, at a remote field station on the shores of the White Sea, biologist Vera Emelianenko set out for a walk on a frigid December night. With her were Mikhail Neretin, the son of the station’s molecular biologist, and a couple dogs: a giant schnauzer and soft-coated Wheaten terrier.
Trudging along the icy embankments of the tidal zone in fierce Arctic winds, Neretin spotted a blue illumination in a snowbank. Had Emelianenko dropped her phone?
As they walked over to investigate, their footsteps created streaks of ethereal blue. “They were like blue Christmas lights in the snow,” Emelianenko says.
The washed-up plankton started to glow when disturbed by the scientists’ footsteps, during a nighttime walk through the snow.
PHOTOGRAPH BY ALEXANDER SEMENOV / WHITE SEA BIOLOGICAL STATION (WSBS MSU)
She bent down to scoop up a handful. With a gentle squeeze, the snowball glowed brighter. The dogs left a glowing trail as they raced ahead, as though the Northern Lights had seeped from sky to snow.
After a flurry of phone calls and texted photographs, the station’s biologists and a group of marine scientists across Russia were buzzing over the find. Emelianenko and Neretin took the station photographer, Alexander Semenov, out to document the lights. “We stomped the ground all together for maybe two hours” to get the spots to shine, Semenov says.
The next day, Emelianenko slipped a glowing snowball under a stereo microscope to try to identify the bioluminescent culprit. As she waited for the ice to melt away, she prodded miniscule detritus with a needle to no avail. But then Emelianenko spotted some copepods, tiny aquatic crustaceans, in the slushy petri dish. When she poked them, they shone a faint blue.
This may be the first documented explanation for glowing snow in the Arctic, which has been observed occasionally by researchers over the years but not been rigorously tested.
Copepod life history
Copepods are miniscule crustaceans just a few millimeters long, about the size of several grains of sand in a row. “They’re the bugs of the sea,” explains Steven Haddock, a marine biologist studying deep-sea zooplankton at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. “They’re small and numerous, they’re eaten by a lot of things.”
While they don’t exactly get a lot of press or cultural representation (with the notable exception of Plankton, a copepod in SpongeBob SquarePants), copepods make up the plurality of biomass in the ocean, according to some estimates. They’re passive swimmers, meaning they can’t resist the currents. This particular species of copepod—Metridia longa—is tossed around the oceans from Canada’s Hudson Strait to the waters of Maine and all across the Arctic.
Even so, Metridia have no business on the shores of the White Sea, says Ksenia Kosobokova, an expert on Arctic marine zooplankton at Russia’s Academy of Science in Moscow. They’re usually found farther out in the ocean, migrating to depths of 80 to 300 feet during the day and ascending to a few feet from the surface during the darkness of night (which, in the winter, is most of the time), Kosobokova explains.
What must have occurred, Kosobokova says, is that the copepods were caught in a powerful current. Twice a day when the White Sea’s rising tide sweeps ashore, the frigid water and everything in it is sluiced through cracks in the ice and snow. For weak swimmers like copepods, there’s no escape.
It could be that tides were particularly strong on the day of the first sighting, December 1—the moon was almost new and three days away from 2021’s closest perigee, the time when the moon is nearest to the earth. Both conditions make for stronger tides. But a second round of sightings on December 16 suggest that it may not take a once-in-a-year lunar cycle to create conditions for the glowing snow.
How the copepod got its glow
Most bioluminescence is produced when a small energy-storing molecule called luciferin is oxidized. On its own, luciferin produces a very faint, steady glow. But combined with the enzyme luciferase, the reaction is sped up, and that glow becomes a dramatic burst.
“So we have these two molecules inside of them, a light emitter and an accelerator,” Haddock explains. For some copepods, the luciferin and luciferase react internally, but Metridia longa has glands on its head and body to secrete its incandescence into the world. “They’ll shoot out those two molecules at the same time and form a little puff of light in the water.” (Learn more: How bioluminescence works in nature.)
Scientists believe Metridia and other copepods use bioluminescence as a defense. “One idea is that the light could startle predators and cause them to spit out the copepod” or distract them long enough for the copepod to escape, says Todd Oakley, a professor of evolutionary ecology and marine biology at the University of California Santa Barbara.
Ghostly lights
Kosobokova figures the copepods nestled in the snow were fading but alive—after all, Arctic plankton are no strangers to freezing temperatures. But bioluminescence experts say they may well have been dead—making their blue glow somewhat ghostly.
As many ham-handed children are sad to learn, fireflies still glow if you accidentally squish them.
“It happens for us with our scientific specimens,” Haddock adds. “You collect an organism and you put it in the freezer for later study. And then when you pull it out, it will slowly start to glow—the chemicals that are inside of their bodies are still perfectly capable of reacting.”
Emily Lau, a graduate student at UCSB, studies the biochemistry of bioluminescence in fishes and the copepod’s crustacean cousin the ostracod. They look like sesame seeds with eyeballs. “People can dry them, and then you can still crush them in the water after they’re dead and they will produce bioluminescence,” she explains.
“As long as that small molecule luciferin is present, then the bioluminescence is going to occur,” Lau says.
Jørgen Berge, a professor at the Arctic University of Norway who studies polar night and arctic marine ecosystems, says it may be too early to give copepods credit for the light show. Berge has observed similar deposits in the snow on the shores of the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard, which he believes are better explained by clumps of dinoflagellates, single-celled algae that also bioluminesce (although he hasn’t tested the spots to identify their composition.)
Dinoflagellates are behind many spectacular marine displays of bioluminescence—like the “phosphorescent bays” of Puerto Rico, where bathers can splash each other with light, or the dolphins that leave ethereal glowing trails off the coast of California. (Related: This deep-sea shark is one of the world’s largest glowing animals.)
“It’s very easy to direct your attention to the larger organisms [in a sample],” Berge explains. But identifying a creature capable of bioluminescence in the sample doesn’t mean another, less obvious creature isn’t responsible. However, Berge agrees that the lights are particularly bright, even for dinoflagellates.
Perhaps what’s most surprising is that glowing snow had not been seen before at a biological station that’s been active for over 80 years—only to be spotted by Emelianenko, 24, and Neretin, 18. That could be because most folks don’t go for leisurely December strolls in the Arctic night, Kosobokova says. It’s not very hospitable. “We also get bears and wolves up here,” Semenov adds.
But the young biologists’ keen eyes and tolerance for cold was rewarded. “There’s so many mysteries out there if you’re willing to have a childlike curiosity,” Haddock says.
Semenov agrees. “You never expect that there will be beauty right under your nose that you haven’t realized can exist.”

Antarctica New Discovery! Scientists Have Just Found The Deepest Hole There & Couldn't Believe What They Found Inside
Scientists have just found the deepest hole in Antarctica & couldn’t believe what they found inside. Today, we take a look at this recent Antarctica discovery. There are mysteries all around us, and we are fascinated by what we cannot understand. Inexplicable phenomena are discovered every day, keeping our curiosity piqued and the prospect of actually knowing the world around us a foreign concept.
Researchers exploring the Ellsworth Sub glacial Highlands, an ancient mountain range buried beneath miles and miles of Antarctic ice, have discovered a pit deeper than The Grand Canyon. The incredible find was discovered by combining data provided by aircraft satellites, with ice-penetrating radar technology towed by snowmobiles.

Tower Found On Saturn Moon Hyperion, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery:Dec 23, 2021
Mission: Cassini Location of discovery: Saturn moon Hyperion
While running through the Saturn moon index I came across a few photos that revealed a dark twisted tower on the far right of the moon. The tower almost looks like a human body without a head, standing on two human like legs. It's strange, it's weird, but it's what it is. Being near saturn and near the rings, this long tower is most likely an engine to propel the moon away from the rings to keep the rings beautiful. Saturns rings has an almost religious nature to it. One that is both sacred and holy. Thus they protect it.

Object Falls From Space, Enters Volcano In Mexico! Live Cam Footage, UFO Sighting News
Object Falls From Space, Enters Volcano In Mexico! Live Cam Footage, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 10, 2021
Location of sighting: Volcano Popocatepetl, Mexico
This video was recorded straight from the live cam. The volcano is located not far from Mexico City. A UFO was caught moving very slowly, falling almost directly into the mouth of the volcano. It entered the left side of the volcano, where there is a known vent. The vent in that location often spews ash, lava and clouds every week. Thats the opening I believe this UFO entered. I have long said that there is an alien base below Popocatepetl volcano. Not only have UFOs been seen passing over, around and into the volcano, but they have also been recorded exiting the mouth. There has even been sightings by the locals of 7 foot hairy beings with huge spikes on their heels of the feet seen climbing up the volcano side without any mounting climbing equipment. The proof is mounting, soon aliens will choose to reveal themselves to the world. Are you ready? I know I am.

What looks like a quiet small UFO is actually very special. This is one of the famous glowing orb UFOs in Colorado. They have been witnessed by thousands of people and gov officials in Colorado, so this is one very special report. I have heard so much about them, police, mayors witnessing them and this video actually has one moving slowly over the city of Longmont, Colorado. It's certainly taking its sweet time and I love that it is, because it's gives us a better view of it, its movement, its color, it's orb shape. This alien pilot either didn't know he was uncloaked or just didn't care. Most often recorded over Denver near the Rocky mountains, this UFO may be heading to that mountain range where I believe an alien base sits 6km below its surface. There even seems to be a window area at the front of it when I put the screenshot into negative formate and add light.
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
We were taping the sunset and when we watched it we say the strange light and say that it moved kinda weird. We always watch the jets, but this was definitely not a jet. We have a video of it and it is very interesting. We would like to have your opinion. If you watch it it appears and hovers.Then it moves up.

Now this is an eyeopening video, however I have a problem with it. The two glowing UFOs seem to pass behind the house in the first 10 seconds, but at the 35 second mark both UFOs pass in front of a light pole alone the road. That should be impossible. For that to happen would mean the lights are coming from behind the person recording the video and reflecting off the front window of the car...as he records. I feel this is 100% fake. Also compounded by the fact the eyewitness statement was only five words, when such an amazing event took place. Odd. Thats just my personal opinion, but it's how I see it and wanted to share it with you in case you see this video out there circulating.
The Anunnaki: They Created the first Human on Earth
The Anunnaki: They Created the first Human on Earth
445 000 years ago, “creator gods” – as they call it – came to Earth. They were called the Anunnaki, which means “Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came”. These beings inhabited a distant orbiting planet called Nibiru, which only entered our solar system every 3,600 years. They describe Nibiru as many times the diameter of Earth, and abundant with iron oxide, making its rivers and lakes appear red. A side note about Nibiru: according to the Sumerian tablets, Nibiru’s atmosphere began to deteriorate and became a hostile place for life, and in order to restore it, the Annunaki needed one important element for their atmosphere: gold.

The first studies conducted on the Ryugu asteroid samples have revealed some very interesting facts. Thanks to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Hayabusa 2 spacecraft, scientists have 5.4 grams of material from the asteroid to study and they found that the diamond-shaped Ryugu is more porous and darker than originally thought.
µIt is believed that the samples contain materials from the outer Solar System. This suggests that the researchers could have the some of the most pristine samples from when the Solar System was in its very early stages and before Earth even formed.
Two papers regarding the findings of the samples have been published in Nature Astronomy. The first paper revealed that the samples reflect only 2% of light. Additionally, it is extremely fragile and is approximately 50% more porous than carbonaceous chondrite meteorites that have previously hit our planet. The paper went into further details by reading in part, “Such high-microporosity materials have not been discovered in any meteorites found on Earth probably due to break-up owing to their fragile nature during entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.”
The second paper discussed the chemical analysis of the samples by announcing that there are numerous volatile organic compounds that are present in the material, such as non-water molecules created by oxygen as well as hydrogen atoms that are called hydroxyls that probably came from the outer part of the Solar System.
While the results are very interesting and significant, these are just the first studies that have been conducted on the samples, so much more information will be found out upon further analysis. Scientists are also waiting for the returned samples from asteroid Bennu in 2023 as they will then be able to compare them both.
(Not Ryugu or Bennu)
The analysis of both Ryugu and Bennu samples will be very crucial as stated by JAXA scientist Toru Yada in an interview with Inverse, “Because reflectance spectra and colors of surface rocks on Bennu look different from those of Ryugu, I expect that different kinds of samples will be returned from Bennu.”
While Ryugu measures 3,280 feet in diameter, Bennu is much smaller with a diameter of 1,610 feet. Bennu does pose a threat to Earth with a 1 in 1,750 chance of hitting us through the year 2300, although scientists have stated that they are not worried about an impact. However, when it will fly past our planet in September of 2135, it will be close enough that Earth’s gravity might possibly change its trajectory.
An exquisitely preserved dinosaur embryo has been found curled up inside a fossilised egg, unearthed in southern China, dating back some 66–72 million years.
The embryo has been dubbed 'Baby Yingliang' and was found in the rocks of the 'Hekou Formation' at the Shahe Industrial Park in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province.
Palaeontologists led from the University of Birmingham said that Baby Yingliang belonged to species of toothless, beaked theropod dinosaurs, or 'oviraptorosaurs'.
Oviraptors, which were feathered, are found in the rocks of Asia and North America and had varied beaks and body sizes allowing them to adopt a wide range of diets.
The specimen is one of the most complete dino embryos known and notably sports a posture closer to those seen in embryonic birds than usually found in dinosaurs.
Specifically, Baby Yingliang was close to hatching, and had its head below its body, its back curled into the egg's blunt end and its feet positioned either side of it.
In modern birds, such a posture is assumed during 'tucking' — an embryo behaviour controlled by the central nervous system that is critical for a successful hatching.
The discovery of such behaviour in Baby Yingliang suggests that this is not unique to birds, but may instead have first evolved among the non-avian theropod dinosaurs.

BABY YINGLIANG STATISTICS
Age: 72–66 million years old
Locality: Ganzhou City, China
Type: Oviraptorosaur
Length: 10.6'' (27 cm) head-to-tail
Egg size: 6.7'' (17 cm) -long
The study was conducted by vertebrate palaeontologist Fion Waisum Ma of the University of Birmingham and her colleagues.
'Dinosaur embryos are some of the rarest fossils and most of them are incomplete with the bones dislocated,' Ms Ma said.
'We are very excited about the discovery of "Baby Yingliang" — it is preserved in a great condition and helps us answer a lot of questions about dinosaur growth and reproduction with it.
'It is interesting to see this dinosaur embryo and a chicken embryo pose in a similar way inside the egg, which possibly indicates similar prehatching behaviours.'
Baby Yingliang takes its nickname from the Yingliang Stone Nature History Museum in Xiamen, among whose fossil collections it is held.
The researchers believe that the embryonic oviraptorosaur would have been some 10.6 inches (27 cm) from head to tail, but was developing curled inside a 6.7 inch (17 cm) -long egg.
'This dinosaur embryo was acquired by the director of Yingliang Group, Mr Liang Liu, as suspected egg fossils around the year 2000,' said paper author and palaeontologist Lida Xing of the China University of Geosciences in Beijing.
'During the construction of Yingliang Stone Nature History Museum in the 2010s, museum staff sorted through the storage and discovered the specimens.
'These specimens were identified as dinosaur egg fossils. Fossil preparation was conducted and eventually unveiled the embryo hidden inside the egg.
'This is how "Baby Yingliang" was brought to light.'
The specimen is one of the most complete dino embryos known and notably sports a posture closer to those seen in embryonic birds than usually found in dinosaurs. Specifically, Baby Yingliang — who was close to hatching — had its head below its body, its back curled into the egg's blunt end and its feet positioned either side of it
'It is interesting to see this dinosaur embryo (pictured) and a chicken embryo pose in a similar way inside the egg, which possibly indicates similar prehatching behaviours,' said vertebrate palaeontologist Fion Waisum Ma of the University of Birmingham
'This dinosaur embryo inside its egg is one of the most beautiful fossils I have ever seen,' said paper co-author and vertebrate palaeontologist Steve Brusatte of the University of Edinburgh.
'This little prenatal dinosaur looks just like a baby bird curled in its egg, which is yet more evidence that many features characteristic of today’s birds first evolved in their dinosaur ancestors.'
The full findings of the study were published in the journal iScience.
The embryo — which has been dubbed 'Baby Yingliang' — was found in the rocks of the 'Hekou Formation' at the Shahe Industrial Park in Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province
HOW THE DINOSAURS WENT EXTINCT AROUND 66 MILLION YEARS AGO
Dinosaurs ruled and dominated Earth around 66 million years ago, before they suddenly went extinct.
The Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event is the name given to this mass extinction.
It was believed for many years that the changing climate destroyed the food chain of the huge reptiles.
In the 1980s, paleontologists discovered a layer of iridium.
This is an element that is rare on Earth but is found in vast quantities in space.
When this was dated, it coincided precisely with when the dinosaurs disappeared from the fossil record.
A decade later, scientists uncovered the massive Chicxulub Crater at the tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, which dates to the period in question.
Scientific consensus now says that these two factors are linked and they were both probably caused by an enormous asteroid crashing to Earth.
With the projected size and impact velocity, the collision would have caused an enormous shock-wave and likely triggered seismic activity.
The fallout would have created plumes of ash that likely covered all of the planet and made it impossible for dinosaurs to survive.
Other animals and plant species had a shorter time-span between generations which allowed them to survive.
There are several other theories as to what caused the demise of the famous animals.
One early theory was that small mammals ate dinosaur eggs and another proposes that toxic angiosperms (flowering plants) killed them off.
70 miljoen jaar oud en perfect bewaard embryo van dinosaurus ontdekt
In Ganzhou, een stad in het Zuiden van China, is een wel heel bijzondere ontdekking gedaan. Zo werd een 70 miljoen jaar oud dinosaurusembryo teruggevonden. Wat het nog bijzonderder maakt, is dat het embryo zo goed als perfect bewaard is gebleven.
Baby Yingliang, zo werd het embryo genoemd, stond zo’n 70 miljoen jaar geleden op het punt om uit zijn schaal te breken, toen hij vermoedelijk bedolven raakte onder een modderstroom. Dit heeft er voor gezorgd dat hij al die jaren zo goed bewaard is kunnen blijven. Volgens wetenschapsjournalist Martijn Peters is dit erg bijzonder, vaak raken dinosaurusembryo’s immers beschadigd of ontbreken er delen. Van hoofd tot staart meet de kleine dinosaurus 27 centimeter en hij zit opgerold in een ei van 17 centimeter.
Baby Yingliang was een oviraptorosaurus, wat letterlijk een “eierdiefhagedis” betekent. Deze gevederde dinosaurussen leefden in Azië en Noord-Amerika tijdens het Krijttijdperk, dat is zo'n 145 tot 66 miljoen jaar geleden. De vormen van hun snavels kunnen variëren, maar ze staan toch vooral bekend om hun papegaaiachtige bek. Ook in lengte waren er grote verschillen binnen deze dinosaurussoort. De kleinste variant valt qua grootte te vergelijken met de hedendaagse kalkoen, terwijl de meest uit de kluiten gewassen oviraptorosaurus tot 8 meter lang kon worden. Baby Yingliang was volgens de onderzoekers vermoedelijk 2 tot 3 meter groot geworden, als hij zijn volwassen leeftijd had bereikt.
Volgens Fion Waisum Ma, onderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Birmingham, is dit een van de best bewaarde embryo’s ooit ontdekt. Ook geeft baby Yingliang de onderzoekers meer inzicht in de link tussen dinosaurussen en vogels vandaag. Zo lag zijn kopje onder zijn lichaam en waren zijn pootjes opgekruld naast zijn rug. Deze houding zien we ook bij hedendaagse ongeboren kuikens, maar is voor dinosaurussen uniek.
Vergeten in opslagruimte
Baby Yingliang was eigenlijk al ontdekt in 2000, maar raakte in vergetelheid toen hij in de opslagruimte van het museum waar hij bewaard werd belandde. Toen het museum recentelijk aan verbouwingswerken begon, herontdekten wetenschappers het bestaan van het embryo. Wie baby Yinglang een bezoekje wil brengen, kan terecht in het Yingliang Stone Natural History Museum in China.

Look carefully at this structure and you will soon notice that its on a separate foundation from that of the ground. There is also some walls around its edges and even main structures upon it. Not far is a huge tunnel that leads directly up to the city. You can see the tunnel hot straight and then break off into many other smaller tunnels. To me, this is an alien structure, built by intelligent beings far beyond our own abilities. The structure has some similarities to our own, but many differences too. I believe it to be grown, a bio-mechanical structure that was grown to save time so that aliens could use it.

I was going through an old index I have recently discovered and found this odd white egg shaped structure on the moon Europa. The center top of the structure is open and the sides are curved like a flower that is partly open. Its the only such object with such a unique shape and size. This object is several km tall and over 5km wide. The chances of this being an alien base is very high. The tall white walls are there to protect the city. Absolutely amazing!

Cylinder shaped UFO leaving the sun's surface
Cylinder shaped UFO leaving the sun's surface
On December 17, 2021 NASA's satellite SDO AIA171 captured a huge cylinder-shaped unidentified flying object seemly leaving the sun's surface at a tremendous speed.
It's said that it is impossible to get that close to the sun, yet extraterrestrials are millions of years ahead of us with their technology. A technology so advanced that their ships might also be able to withstand the heat of the sun.
To date, it is not known why these ships come so close to the surface of the sun.
These two bright UFOs were filmed in the night sky above Marion, a city in and the county seat of Marion County, Ohio. This happened on 16th December 2021.
Located near the village of Shiyan Beicun in Zhejiang province, China, lie the Longyou Caves - an extensive, magnificent and rare ancient underground world considered in China to be “the ninth wonder of the ancient world.” Thought to date back at least 2,000 years, the Longyou Caves, also known as the Xiaonanhai Stone Chambers, represent one of the largest underground excavations of ancient times and are an enduring mystery that have perplexed experts from every discipline that has examined them.
Scientists from around the world in the fields of archaeology, architecture, engineering, and geology have absolutely no idea how the Longyou Caves were built, by whom, and why. First discovered in 1992 by a local villager who set out to drain some ponds which locals believed to be bottomless, to date 24 hand-carved caves have been discovered covering a massive 30,000 square meters (322,917 ft sq).
Carved into solid siltstone, each grotto descends around 30 meters (98 ft) underground and contains stone rooms, bridges, gutters and pools. Within the Longyou Caves there are pillars evenly distributed throughout the caves which are supporting the ceiling, and the walls, ceiling and stone columns are uniformly decorated with chisel marks in a series of parallel lines.
Only one of the caves has been opened for tourism, chosen because of the stone carvings found inside which depict a horse, fish and bird. The Longyou Caves of Zhejiang province in China truly are an enigma and here we will explore ten enduring mysteries that remain unresolved, despite more than two decades of research.
A rough estimation of the workload involved in building the Longyou Caves is awe-inspiring. The quantity of rock that would have been removed in the overall excavation of the grottoes is estimated to be nearly 1,000,000 cubic meters (35,314,666 cu ft). Taking into account the average digging rate per day per person, scientists have calculated that it would take 1,000 people working day and night for six years to complete.
These calculations are based purely on hard labor, but what they haven’t taken into account is the incredible care and precision of the sculptors, meaning that the actual workload would far surpass the theoretical estimation. As for how they were constructed and what tools were used, it is still unknown. No tools have been found in the area, and, as we will explore later, scientists still don’t know how they achieved such symmetry, precision, and similarity between the different caves.
2. No Traces of Construction
Despite their size and the effort involved in creating them, so far no trace of their construction, or even their existence, has been located archival sources. Although the overall excavation involved almost a million cubic meters of stone, there is no archaeological evidence revealing where that quantity of stone went, and no evidence of the work. Moreover, there is not a single historic document that refers to them, which is highly unusual considering the sheer scale of the project. The origin of the Longyou Caves is a complete and utter mystery.
Experts wonder why the walls at the Longyou Caves in China are covered in chiseled parallel lines.
Every single one of the Longyou Caves is covered, from floor to ceiling, in parallel lines that have been chiseled into virtually every surface. The effect is a uniform pattern throughout the caves, which would have required immense manpower and endless hours to create. The question is why? Was such labor-intensive work purely for decoration? Are the lines or patterns symbolic in some way? All that is currently known is that the markings are similar to those found on pottery housed in a nearby museum, which is dated between 500 and 800 BC.
4. Lack of Fish in the Longyou Caves
When the caves were first discovered, they were filled with water, which presumably had been there for a long period of time. They had to be pumped out in order to realize that these were not just like the other “bottomless ponds” found within the area, but rather man-made structures. Most villages in southern China contain very deep ponds, which have been called "bottomless ponds" by generations of villagers. These ponds teem with fish, which are easily caught. However, after the first cave was pumped dry, not a single fish was to be seen, or any other sign of life.
5. How Did the Longyou Caves Remain So Well Preserved?
One of the most interesting and challenging questions is how the Longyou Caves have been able to keep their structural integrity for more than 2,000 years. There are no signs of collapse, no piles of rubble, and no damage despite the fact that in some areas the walls are only 50 centimeters (20 in) thick. Over the centuries, the area has gone through numerous floods, calamities and wars, the mountains have changed their appearance and exposed stones have been weathered, but inside the Longyou Caves, the form, patterns and markings are still clear and precise – it is as though they were built yesterday.
6. How Did the Builders Work in the Dark?
Due to the great depths of the caves, some areas at the bottom, which are not exposed to the opening above, are pitch-black. Yet even those dark areas are decorated with thousands of parallel lines on the walls, columns, and ceiling. So how did ancient people work in the dark?
According to Jia Gang, a Tongji University professor specializing in civil engineering: "There should be lamps, because the cave's mouth is very small, and the sunbeam could only shine in the cave at a certain angle during a certain period of time. As one goes deeper into the cave, the light becomes dimmer. At the cave's bottom, which is usually dozen of meters from the mouth, one could hardly see anything." However, this was at least two millennia ago and nothing that could have been used for lighting has been found.
7. Were the Longyou Caves Meant to be Connected?
All of the Longyou Caves are distributed across an area of only one square kilometer (0.38 sq mi). Considering such a high density, one cannot help asking whether some grottoes were meant to be connected. What would be the purpose of making so many separate caves in such a tight area without connecting them? In many areas, the walls between the caves are very thin, only 50 centimeters (20 in), but they were never linked so it appears they were intentionally kept apart. What’s more, many of the Longyou Caves are almost identical to each other.

Nobody has any idea who built the caves. Some scientists have claimed that it was not possible or logical for such as mammoth job to have been undertaken by regular village people. Only the emperor and the leaders could have organized such a huge project, like the construction of the Great Wall , which was built to defend against invasion from the outside world. But if it was commissioned by an Emperor, why are there no historical records of its construction?
9. How Did They Achieve Such Precision?
The scale of the Longyou Caves is magnificent and momentous, the design was delicate and scientific, the construction was sophisticated, and the precision is indicative of superior craftsmanship. The model, pattern and style of each cave is extremely similar. Every grotto is like a grand hall. One side is steep and another side is 45% inclined. The four walls are straight; the edges and corners are clearly demarcated. The chiseling marks within the Longyou Caves are uniform and precise.
"At the bottom of each cave, the ancient [builders] wouldn't be able to see what the others were doing in the next grotto,” explained Yang Hongxun, an expert at the Archaeological Institute of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Nevertheless, “the inside of each cave had to be parallel with that of the other, or else the wall would be holed through. Thus the measure apparatus should have been very advanced. There must have been some layout about the sizes, locations, and the distances between the caves beforehand."
With the help of modern equipment and methods, the investigators measured the sizes of the walls, and surprisingly found that the overall construction is extremely accurate. The walls between the caves are of the same thickness in different sections. So how did they achieve this precision? What were their methods?

Following extensive investigations and study, scientists and scholars have attempted to put forward explanations for the grottoes, but none so far provide a convincing explanation for why they were built and what they were used for.
Some archaeologists have suggested that the grottoes were the tombs of old emperors, emperor halls, or places for storage. But this interpretation is far-fetched. No funeral objects or tombs have been found and no artifacts left behind. If it were used like an emperor’s palace, the caves surely would have been designed differently, with separate rooms for different purposes like entertaining, meeting, and sleeping. But no evidence can be found of this and no traces of habitation have been found.
Another hypothesis is that the Longyou Caves were used for mining and extracting some type of mineral resource. However, mining operations would have required equipment and apparatus to extract the rocks and transport them. Again, no traces of this have been found, nor any evidence of where the rocks were taken. And of course, if the caves were just for mining, why create such intricate decorations on the walls, columns and ceilings?
Finally, some have suggested that these caves were the places for troops to be stationed and that an emperor of the past wanted to keep his soldiers out of view in order to keep his war preparations secret. However, these caves could not have been built in a short period of time. They would have taken many, many years to build so it is unlikely to have been done in preparation for war, which tends to come about much more quickly. Furthermore, there are no signs of people having stayed in the caves.
Despite decades of research, very few answers have emerged to explain the enigma of the Longyou Caves . Our ancient ancestors have achieved many wondrous things throughout history, but this discovery from China is truly an unsolved mystery which has yet to be cracked.

Egypt Responds To Elon Musk’s Suggestion The Pyramids Were Built By Aliens
Egypt Responds To Elon Musk’s Suggestion The Pyramids Were Built By Aliens
LOUIS W / SHUTTERSTOCK / TWITTER / IFLSCIENCE
Fresh from winning a defamation lawsuit last year after he inexplicably called a British cave explorer involved in the tense rescue of 12 Thai boys trapped in a flooded underground cave system a "pedo guy," Elon Musk has continued to use his Twitter presence for chaotic evil this year.
For example, where many people at the top of successful companies use their platform for important business updates, industry chatter, or else just a bit of fun, earlier this year the Tesla and SpaceX CEO wiped $14 billion off Tesla's value after tweeting "Tesla stock price too high imo". Er, lol?
Now, he's turned his twitter feed into a place for conspiracy theorists to gather, with the baiting post "Aliens built the pyramids obv".
Musk followed up the tweet, clearly a joke but certainly taken seriously by some of his fans, by sharing the true fact that "the Great Pyramid was the tallest structure made by humans for 3,800 years," and sharing a link to Wikipedia. (Though why someone who just made history in a scientific field feels the need to bait conspiracy theorists online in the first place is baffling.)
Though the tweets were likely tongue-in-cheek, it prompted a response from Egypt's Minister of International Co-operation, Rania al-Mashat, who invited Musk to come to Egypt in order to see the pyramids for himself, and learn how they were actually built.
Normally when somebody tells you "we're waiting for you" at a tomb you do not accept the invite, let's hope this is an exception.
If he were to go, he would discover the pyramids were not built by aliens. Obvs.
Contrary to another popular misconception, they weren't built by slaves either. The current consensus is that they were built by paid laborers, after a worker's village and cemetery on the Khafre and Menkaure pyramids was uncovered in the 1990s.
The manner of burial of the workers – in mud-brick tombs, with beer and bread to take with them to the afterlife – and proximity to the pyramids suggests that the builders were paid workers. Examination of their remains showed that they had a protein-rich diet, which was unheard of at the time. There was evidence that broken bones had been reset, and one person was even found to have had his leg amputated before living for a further 14 years, suggesting they were given medical care.
As for how they were built, the answer is simple: The Ancient Egyptians were skilled engineers, and put a lot of time and a gigantic workforce into the task. The giant blocks were moved by boat, oxen, and may have been dragged on sleds by workers across wet sand, reducing the amount of force they'd need to move the huge stones. If aliens had built the pyramids, it's unlikely you would see the progression that has been found in the pyramids, with engineers using bigger blocks as time went on. It's a bizarre alien civilization that masters interstellar travel, builds one pyramid, before realizing how to dramatically improve their masonry.
Musk later linked to a piece explaining some of the techniques used in the building of the pyramids, perhaps making Egypt's kind offer unnecessary, though clearly a lot of his conspiracy theory-loving fans could do with a visit.
You may have seen my recent article on a UFO incident that occurred on November 8, 1966 – near Shrewsbury, England – and that involved a young woman named Diane Foulkes. Diane had a classic case of UFO-driven “Missing Time.” Notably, U.K. military police descended onto Diane’s home, created a file on the incident, and interviewed her and her parents about the encounter and her lost time. The incident makes for fascinating reading. There’s a reason why I mention this: it’s because I find it very strange that so many people laugh at the idea of government agencies quietly interviewing alien abductees and those with erased minds. Or, rather, briefly erased minds. The fact is, though, this has been going on for a long time. Let’s have a look at some cases. Evidence of serious, government concerns about the real alien abduction phenomenon continued into the 1950s, specifically in 1959. That was the year in which a young American soldier found himself caught up in a very strange saga that, to a degree, still disturbs him to this very day. It all went down on a chilly night in Utah’s expansive desert.Private Bernard Gerry Irwin was the manwhose life took a turn of the decidedly unforeseen type. February 20, 1959 began as a regular day for Irwin, but, it most definitely didn’t end that way. At the time, Irwin was driving to Fort Bliss, Texas, from Idaho – the former being the facility at which Irwin was stationed, and the latter his home state. As night set in, something completely unforeseen and paradigm-shifting happened to Irwin. He was about to be confronted by the UFO phenomenon in spectacular and mysterious fashion.
(Nick Redfern)
The night was dark, silent and all but empty of vehicles. As desert highways so often are well after sunset. But, for Irwin this was a night he would never forget – which is somewhat ironic, as a result of the fact that certain portions of his memory were forever erased from his mind. As he drove along the winding, curving road, Irwin was suddenly distracted by a bright light in the night sky – but at a distinctly low level – which descended below a looming ridge. A meteorite? No. A flare, perhaps? Wrong again. Maybe an aircraft in trouble? That was Irwin’s first thought and, with that in mind, he brought his car to a stop at the side of the road, and turned on the blinkers. He quickly got out, and left a note for passing drivers. It read: Have gone to investigate what looks like a plane crash about one-quarter mile to my right. Notify state police immediately. Wearing his Army coat and armed with a flashlight, Irwin headed off into the unknown. Irwin headed for what he suspected – and feared – just might be the site of a plane crash, only to find himself in an even greater nightmare. The next thing Irwin remembered was waking up in a hospital bed in Cedar City. Where and why, he didn’t know.
Certainly, one of the most notable pieces of evidence that has surfaced via the Freedom of Information Act is a document prepared by a Captain Valentine, who was Irwin’s psychiatrist while he was undergoing treatment for his strange condition. On March 27, 1959, Irwin was injected with sodium amytal. It provoked a strange response from Irwin, which caught Captain Valentine’s deep attention. In his official report on this particular drug-induced session, the captain wrote: “[Irwin] stated there was a ‘special intelligence’ that he couldn’t explain to me, since it would be incomprehensible to me, which has directed him not to remember or not to tell me about any of the events in Utah. He says that if he tells what was behind the incidents in Utah there will be a ‘big investigation’ that he does not want to be bothered with and also because it will harm many people and he doesn’t want that to happen. He states ‘it’ all began at the age of three years,’ although he will not reveal how or what began, stating that it would provide a clue to me as to what is behind all this. Also, he informed me that he could leave this hospital any time if he wanted to by invoking a special force. Following this interview the patient stated he could remember nothing of what he said during it.”
Now, onto another case: Just five months after Betty and Barney Hill’s late night encounter, a similar incident occurred in the U.K. In this case, the witness was a man named Ronald Wildman. It was in the early hours of February 9, 1962 that Wildman had an extraordinary experience, one which led him to fully believe he had seen a UFO at very close quarters: an egg-like thing that put Wildman in a state of amzement. So amazed, and even slightly unsettled, by what occurred, Wildman contacted the local police. It was via the police that the U.K.’s Air Ministry (today, called the Ministry of Defense) came to hear about the story. It turns out that the military learned Wildman had lost a period of missing time. A file, of course, was opened.
The night of October 10, 1973 was one that Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson would not forget. And it all began in a perfectly normal, relaxed fashion. Forty-two-year-old Hickson and Parker – who was nineteen – worked together and often spent time fishing on Mississippi’s Pascagoula River. It was around 9:00 p.m. on a dark and fateful night when their world came tumbling down around them. For a while the fish were biting. It would, however, not be long before the two men would find themselves reeled in. “Hauled in” might be a better piece of terminology. As they sat on the banks of the river, the two could not fail to see that there was an odd, blue, flickering light in the distance – odd in the sense that it seemed to be following the contours of the river, but slightly above it. Both Hickson and Parker stared at it, trying to figure out what on Earth it was. Earth may very well have had nothing to do with it. They wondered: helicopter? But, there was no noise. An aircraft? Way too low and slow. Someone’s idea of a joke? If only. When the strange whatever-it-was got closer, a stark realization quickly hit both men: this was like nothing they had ever seen before. It was a fairly small craft, oval in design, and illuminated – almost glowing. And a vomit-inducing, deep droning sound suddenly enveloped them. Things seemed strange, unreal, dream-like, as the pair tried to scramble away. No such luck: in seconds both Parker and Hickson were rendered almost unable to move.
In no time at all after contacting the police, Parker and Hickson were whisked off to Keesler Air Force Base, which is in Biloxi, on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. They were driven there by a local police-officer: Deputy Tom Huntley, who later made an intriguing statement: “We were in an unmarked car but the guards were expecting us and waved us through the moment I said who I was. I looked back through my rear-view mirror, and damn if two cars full of air police hadn’t fallen in behind us. They had more air police stationed at each crossing all along the road.” Officer Huntley eventually revealed much more, too: on being directed to one particular building, a team of medical personnel were already there, waiting for the arrival of Hickson and Parker. Huntley said that after he and Parker and Hickson were directed into the building, a series of tests quickly began. Of the doctors, Huntley added that they “looked like space creatures – all wrapped in white and masked and gloved.” Both men had a Geiger-counter ran over them. Their fingers and shoes were swabbed – with each swab carefully placed into separate bottles.
All of this tells us that, yes, government agencies do take an interest in “missing time” cases and alien abductions. The events above are just the start of things.
Oudste fossiel ooit van duizendpoot zo groot als een auto ontdekt op Brits strand
“Een volslagen toevalstreffer”, zo noemt Neil Davies van de universiteit van Cambridge het grootste en oudste fossiel van een duizendpoot ooit ontdekt. Wetenschappers botsten op het exemplaar van de uitgestorven ‘Arthropleura’ op het strand van het Engelse Northumberland. Het dier zou meer dan 2,5 meter lang geweest zijn en zo’n 50 kilogram hebben gewogen.
De Arthropleura is een uitgestorven duizendpotigengeslacht dat tijdens het late Carboon leefde. Het fossiel van het exemplaar in Northumberland is 75 centimeter lang en werd voor het eerst gespot in 2018 toen een groot blok zandsteen op het strand van Howick viel. “Door de manier waarop het rotsblok neerkwam, barstte het open en legde zo het fossiel perfect bloot. Een van onze vroegere doctoraatsstudenten zag het toevallig toen hij er langsliep”, zegt Dr. Neil Davies van de universiteit van Cambridge.
De reuzenduizendpoot leefde zo’n 326 miljoen jaar geleden, toen het noordoosten van Engeland nog een veel tropischer klimaat had dan nu. Dat is meer dan 100 miljoen jaar voor het tijdperk van de dinosauriërs. Volgens Davies is het fossiel waarschijnlijk niet afkomstig van een dode Arthropleura, maar van het uitwendige skelet dat de duizendpoot vermoedelijk van zich afwierp tijdens zijn groei. “Fossielen van deze reusachtige duizendpoten vinden, dat is zeldzaam, omdat hun lichamen na hun dood meestal uit elkaar vallen”, legt hij uit. Hij voegt eraan toe dat er nooit een fossiele kop werd gevonden, wat “het moeilijk maakt om er alles over te weten te komen”.
Wél staat vast dat ook deze duizendpoten geen duizend poten hadden. Volgens de onderzoekers telden ze er wel minstens 32 en mogelijk tot zelfs 64. Dat de dieren zo groot konden worden, wijst op erg voedzame eetgewoontes. Mogelijk vulden ze hun maaltijden van noten en zaden aan met kleine beestjes en amfibieën. Dit exemplaar zou tot zo’n 2,7 meter lang geweest zijn, zo groot als een kleine auto.
Het is nog maar de derde Arthropleura ooit gevonden en ook de oudste én de grootste. De twee vorige fossielen werden in Duitsland ontdekt.
De vondst van Northumberland, die werd gepubliceerd in de ‘Journal of the Geological Society’, zal volgend jaar worden tentoongesteld in het Sedgwick Museum in Cambridge. Dankzij deze studie weten we dat Arthropleura het grootse bekende ongewervelde dier aller tijden was. Ze waren nog groter dan oer-zeeschorpioenen, die tot voor kort de grootste bekende geleedpotigen waren.
Now We Know Why Pluto has These Strange Features on its Surface
Now We Know Why Pluto has These Strange Features on its Surface
After New Horizons made its close flyby of Pluto in July of 2015, scientists were astounded at the incredible closeup views of Pluto’s surface. One of the most intriguing and mysterious features was a bright plain inside the prominent heart-shaped feature on Pluto, called “Tombaugh Regio” (Tombaugh Region) named after Clyde Tombaugh, who discovered Pluto in 1930.
The region is composed of a broken surface of irregularly-shaped segments that appear to be geologically young because no impact craters are part of the terrain.
“This terrain is not easy to explain,” said Jeff Moore, leader of the New Horizons Geology, Geophysics and Imaging Team (GGI), back in 2015. “The discovery of vast, craterless, very young plains on Pluto exceeds all pre-flyby expectations. There are a few ancient impact craters on Pluto. But other areas like “Tombaugh Regio” show no craters. The landform change processes are occurring into current geologic times.”
Now, a new study of this fascinating landscape reveals with more certainty how the unusual features were formed. A team led by Adrien Morison from the University of Exeter in the UK used sophisticated modelling techniques to show that these ice polygons are formed by the sublimation of nitrogen ice. This is a phenomenon where the solid ice turns directly from the solid to the gas phase due to the extremely negligible atmospheric pressure.
“Pluto is still geologically active despite being far away from the Sun and having limited internal energy sources,” said Morison, in a press release. “The surface conditions allow the gaseous nitrogen in its atmosphere to coexist with solid nitrogen.”

The research team show this sublimation of the nitrogen ice powers convection in the ice layer of Sputnik Planitia by cooling down its surface. The team said this is consistent with numerous other data points from New Horizons – including the size of polygons, amplitude of topography and surface velocities.
The polygonal shaped areas are roughly 12 miles (20 kilometers) across.
The new study’s data is also consistent with the timescale at which climate models predict sublimation of the region, beginning around 1 – 2 million years ago. It showed that the dynamics of this nitrogen ice layer echo those found on Earth’s oceans, being driven by the climate.
Previous studies of Pluto’s polygons showed that the ice could be warmed by heat from the interior welling up in the center of cells, spreading and then sinking, creating the ridged margins. However, in the new paper, Morison’s team wrote, “Our proposed mechanism for the convective dynamics requires that the surface cooling be predominant over the heat flux at the bottom of the layer due to radiogenic heating in the rocky core and secular cooling/heating of the interior.”

The team said that climate-powered dynamics of a solid layer could also occur at the surface of other planetary bodies, such as Neptune’s moon Triton, or the Kuiper Belt objects Eris and Makemake.

Whats going on with Jupiter moon Amalthea? Looks Like Deathstar, UFO Sighting News.
Date of Photo:1979
Location of sighting: Jupiter moon Amalthea
Source: keeping secret for now...still exploring it.
Guys I was looking through that old NASA index...you know the one I found a few days ago, but can't share the URL, because I just don't want NASA to scrub them from the net, as they often do. Anyways, I found this unique photo, which is grouped with Jupiters moon Amalthea. I can't say this is Amalthea, it doesnt look like it, but there was only several photos of it, and none looked like this. I will include a few below to compare and contrast. This moon Amalthea looks like it is a space station. Similar to that of the DeathStar in Star Wars. This is 100% alien technology in my eyes. I just don't see a moon in that photo. Perhaps something passed by like a satellite or rocket ejected module, but one thing is for sure, thats no moon in that photo.
Hey, how awesome is this? As the satellite Juno passed Jupiter, it came near the moon Ganymede. As it did, it recorded this audio, which does sound like an alien transmission sent from the moon into space. I tried to slow it down 10X but still not much changed, so I slowed it down 20X and it certainly sounded more musical, but no voices. So if this is an alien transmission, its probably pure data. Below is the original audio at normal speed.

NASA States:
This 50-second video provides an auditory as well as visual glimpse at data collected by Juno’s Waves instrument as the spacecraft flew past the Jovian moon Ganymede on June 7, 2021. The abrupt change to higher frequencies around the midpoint of the recording represents the spacecraft's move from one region of Ganymede's magnetosphere to another. The audio track is made by shifting the frequency of those emissions — which range from 10 to 50 kHz — into the lower audio range The animation is shorter than the duration of Juno's flyby because the Waves data is edited onboard to reduce telemetry requirements.

BY DILLON GUTHRIE
Of all the year’s political drama, the most surprising may be the U.S. government’s actions on unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs — better known as UFOs.
The opening act came in June, when the Pentagon and the director of national intelligence delivered an astonishing report to Congress addressing UAPs. Most of these phenomena turn out to have prosaic explanations — such as weather balloons, space debris and atmospheric effects in the sky — with a small percentage exhibiting unusual flight characteristics that suggest advanced technology.
The June report, however, found the opposite: It could account for only one of the 144 UAP sightings between 2004 and 2021 that it examined, including 80 observed with multiple sensors such as high-tech military radar and infrared cameras mounted on warplanes.
The image from video provided by the Department of Defense labelled Gimbal, from 2015, an unexplained object is seen at center as it is tracked as it soars high along the clouds, traveling against the wind. “There's a whole fleet of them,” one naval aviator tells another, though only one indistinct object is shown. “It's rotating." The U.S. government has been taking a hard look at unidentified flying objects, under orders from Congress, and a report summarizing what officials know is expected to come out in June 2021. (Department of Defense via AP)
Take one of the most memorable sightings, caught on infrared camera in 2004. Navy pilots flying from the USS Nimitz spotted a 40-foot white object resembling a Tic Tac mint levitating erratically above the waters off the California coast. As the pilots approached, the Tic Tac — despite lacking wings or any sign of propulsion — rose to meet them midair before speeding instantly away, vanishing. The report did not conclude what the Tic Tac or any other UAPs are, and it could not attribute them to secret technology developed by the U.S. or any adversaries.
Now Congress wants answers. In November, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) authored legislation creating an office to study UAPs government-wide and report to Congress. Then the Defense Department tried to stake its claim to the issue, shortly after announcing the formation of its own UAP unit. Its team would investigate only UAPs spotted in sensitive military airspace, and it would operate without congressional supervision. Some criticized the half-measure as a preemptive ploy to avert oversight, though the Pentagon denies those claims.
But Gillibrand anda bipartisan bloc of lawmakers, including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), were not deterred. They steered legislation through Congress — attached as an amendment to the annual defense bill, sent to President Biden’s desk Wednesday to be signed into law — that establishes a new office to study UAPs. The amendment also requires unclassified reports on UAPs delivered to Congress each year, as well as semiannual classified briefings to legislators.
The move represents the most significant public progress yet to understand UAPs. For all its dysfunction, only Congress has the institutional power and legitimacy to lead this conversation.
UAPs intersect with topics as wide-ranging asaerospace technology,national securityand potentialhealth effectson individuals exposed to these craft. No single agency has the multidisciplinary know-how or legal authority to tackle all these questions. For example, the Pentagon unit’s intended focus on military airspace would ignore the Federal Aviation Administration and civilian flight safety.
A comprehensive strategy from Congress is needed. The office created by the Gillibrand amendment accordingly will take a broad approach by investigating UAPs across jurisdictional lines, prioritizing areas of scientific study and requiring various agencies to collaborate — not only the Defense Department and the Federal Aviation Administration but also the Energy Department, intelligence community, NASA and others. It will develop a science plan to investigate striking physical characteristics of UAPs (like their speed) and potentially replicate any advanced UAP technologies. And the new office will seek to understand the global nature of these phenomena, directing outreach to foreign allies.
In particular, the office will analyze whether UAPs represent foreign adversarial technology or otherwise pose a threat. That should be its top priority. The June report stated that UAPs, in addition to representing a flight safety hazard, “may pose a challenge to U.S. national security.” Given the regular sightings in military airspace — and the apparent connection between UAPs and nuclear technology — national security concerns are paramount.
In setting up this office, Congress has legitimized the long-ridiculed topic of UAPs. Yet its work does not end there. It must ensure that the office receives adequate funding and make clear that the office should be led by a civilian director with the expertise necessary to tackle these issues and cut through the Pentagon’s red tape.
Of course, the perspectives of defense and intelligence officials will be crucial. But the Pentagon has a long history of obfuscating work relating to UAPs, whereas Congress can promote transparency. Once the office has delivered its first unclassified report, Congress should hold public hearings to discuss its findings.
Now that legislators have marshaled action on UAPs, they need to make sure the new office does not become shrouded in secrecy.
The year 2019 seems so long ago for most of us, but it probably seems like only yesterday for the US Navy after newly released documents show that the mysterious drones which harassed numerous Navy ships off the coast of Los Angeles in 2019 were far more prevalent that first thought … and the Pentagon still does not have an ‘official’ explanation for these unidentified aerial vehicles (UAVs). Are these more Tic Tac UFOs, Tic Tac decoys, enemy drones, secret U.S. drones or something else?
Something else?
(Not one of the mysterious drones)
Before we look at the latest revelations, let’s review how the Navy got to this point. The bulk of the data comes from The War Zone/The Drive, the military news website which has been tracking, requesting and revealing internal documents on mysterious drones following multiple Navy ships on maneuvers. It first revealed in March 2021 that the USS Kidd, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, encountered a UAP near San Clemente Island on July 14, 2019, and deployed a “SNOOPIE (Ship Nautical Or Otherwise Photographic Interpretation and Exploitation)” team to investigate. The War Zone found that other ships also encountered the UAPs on July 15 and 16 — the USS Russell, USS John Finn, the USS Paul Hamilton and the USS Rafael Peralta, which activated its own SNOOPIE team and reported a “white light identified hovering over” the ship’s flight deck for around 90 minutes. Logs of the other ships also reported sightings. The War Zone requested more information on the two-day encounter … and waited. This week, it finally received additional documents and they contained shocking new revelations.
“Newly released documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that the full scope of these drone incursions was greater than it initially appeared, and they persisted well after the Navy’s investigation was launched. Deck logs indicate that drone sightings continued throughout the month of July 2019 and included events where drone countermeasure teams were called into action. One notable event involved at least three ships observing multiple drones. Uncharacteristically for unclassified deck logs, the details on this event are almost entirely redacted.”
The logs show the USS Russell had encounters with the drones on July 17th and 20th. The USS Russell crew took anti-drone countermeasures that appeared to be unsuccessful – The War Zones explains that highly-directional radiofrequency jammers are designed to disrupt communications between drones and their operators, but are not effective against autonomous drones. The document also show that the Russell fired a 5-inch naval deck gun as a UAS (unmanned aerial system) countermeasure, but notes that these guns are not designed to hit targets that are small and slow-moving like these mysterious drones. Finally, they report that “ghostbusters” — lower-end counter UAS devices that look similar to rifles – were fired. The War Zone points out that “ghostbusters” is a new term.
The logs show that at least three ships reported multiple drones following them and adjusting their speed and position whenever a ship would make an evasive maneuver. The ships also enforced enhanced “emissions control,” or EMCON, protocols designed to minimize their electronic profile.
Whose drones are they?
(Not one of the mysterious drones)
Another engagement between the USS Russell and the mysterious drones took place on July 30th, 2019. A SNOOPIE team was activated, “ghostbusters” were used and a SCAT (Small Craft Action Team) was launched – these are machine gun operators that provide 360-degree coverage of the ship and are usually used in response to a small boat attack or low, slow flyers. The logs show that the nearby USS Bunker Hill made the same maneuvers. Perhaps the most interesting revelation is that unlike previous ones, the new documents were heavily redacted.
These new documents tell us that mysterious drones are a bigger problem for the US Navy (and the rest of the US military) than first thought. They tell us that counter-responses – including weapons – have been deployed with little success. They tell us that the Pentagon is probably hiding more information about them. What they DON’T tell us is what these drones are and who – or what – they belong to.
Kudos as always to the reporters at The War Zone and The Drive for their fine work.

As someone who has written extensively on the mysterious issue of the Men in Black, I’m often asked something along the lines of “What are the different types of M.I.B.?” Well, that’s a very good question. Specifically because there isn’t just one sort of Man in Black. There’s not even just two. In fact, there are several, as strange as it might sound. We’ll begin with the image that most people have: stern-faced characters – very often wearing fedora hats – and looking like they stepped out of a top secret, government facility. In other words, they aren’t the kinds you would want to cross paths with, but there’s nothing strange or odd about them. We can’t say that for all of the Men in Black, though. As we’ll see soon. Another type, that also comes across totally normal are the “Military Men in Black.” By that, I mean characters who wear military uniforms – and as a means to get into peoples’ homes and question them about their UFO encounters. Such was the extent to which this type of Man in Black was prevalent in the 1960s, the U.S. military circulated an official document warning its personnel to keep a look out for these mysterious, uniformed figures. For example, here’s one of several documents that was circulated:
On March 1, 1967, Lieutenant General Hewitt T. Wheless, USAF, penned the following memo. It was widely circulated within the military: “Information, not verifiable, has reached Hq USAF that persons claiming to represent the Air Force or other Defense establishments have contacted citizens who have sighted unidentified flying objects. In one reported case, an individual in civilian clothes, who represented himself as a member of NORAD, demanded and received photos belonging to a private citizen.” The document continues: “In another, a person in an Air Force uniform approached [italics mine] local police and other citizens who had sighted a UFO, assembled them in a school room and told them that they did not see what they thought they saw and that they should not talk to anyone about the sighting. All military and civilian personnel and particularly information officers and UFO investigating officers who hear of such reports should immediately notify their local OSI [Office of Special Investigations] offices.”
John Keel said of these uniformed men, in The Mothman Prophecies: “Mysterious men dressed in Air Force uniforms or bearing impressive credentials from government agencies have been silencing UFO witnesses. We have checked a number of these cases, and these men are not connected to the Air Force in any way. We haven’t been able to find out anything about these men. By posing as Air Force officers and government agents, they are committing a Federal offense. We would sure like to catch one – unfortunately the trail is always too cold by the time we hear about these cases, but we are still trying.” Moving on, there are the “robot”-like M.I.B. No, I’m not joking. Some Men in Black act and even look like robots. Their skin looks like plastic, and they have a jerky walk.
(Nick Redfern)
Robots in Black?!
Gareth J. Medway has an excellent list of Men in Black encounters that began a long, long time ago and that continued up to the 2000s. Of these robotic M.I.B., Gareth gives us these words: “1967, 9 January: The Christiansen family of Wildwood, New Jersey, who had seen a UFO on 22 November 1966, were interviewed by ‘the strangest looking man I’ve ever seen’, wearing a thin black coat, who introduced himself as ‘Tiny’ from the ‘Missing Heirs Bureau.’ He spoke in a high, ‘tinny’ voice, in clipped words and phrases like a computer, “as if he were reciting everything from memory.” His black trousers were too short, and ‘they could see a long thick green wire attached to the inside of his leg, it came up out of his socks and disappeared under his trousers.’ John Keel commented that he had not heard of this feature in other MIB cases: ‘Was Tiny wearing electric socks? Or was he a wired android operated by remote control?’ He departed in a black 1963 Cadillac. Sanderson, Uninvited Visitors, pp.160-61; Keel, Visitors from Space, pp.85-89.”
We now come to the creepiest Men in Black of all. They look far less like government agents and far more like the M.I.B. of the 1998 movie, Dark City. In fact, I would say the Men in Black of the movie are almost identical to those in the real world. Not only that, they have the ability to hypnotize people, to make them sick, to cause poltergeist activity in the home of the targeted person, and sometimes to vanish at almost impossible speeds. The big question is: are all of these Men in Black interconnected? My view is a big “No.” That, of course, makes the M.I.B. enigma even more complicating! Now, with the various Men in Black addressed, in the next article I’ll do likewise with the Women in Black.
Data from NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope has revealed apossible 172 new exoplanets. In addition to the 172 planetary candidates, the team of astronomers also discovered 18 possible multi-planetary systems.
Among the candidates are several very odd systems. One system in particular that’s been named EPIC 249559552 is located approximately 650 light-years away from us. There are two “sub-Neptunes” in the system (these are smaller planets than Neptune) that orbit a yellow-white sun-like star. Their orbits are rather peculiar as the planet closest to the star completes five orbits for every two done by the further world (this gravitational influence is called orbital resonance).
Another system that is located about 3,500 light-years away from us is called EPIC 249731291 and it has a star that is quite similar to our own sun. Orbiting that star are two giant gas planets that are a little smaller than Saturn. They orbit the star at such a close range that their atmospheres would be exceptionally hot. To understand this better, if those planets were in our Solar System, they would be located closer than Mercury is to our sun.
(Not any of the planets mentioned in this article.)
Despite being retired in 2018, experts are still recovering astonishing information from all of the data collected by the Kepler Space Telescope during its nine-year mission. By studying all of the data, scientists will get a better understanding of how planetary systems form and how they change throughout the years; how gas giants form further away from their star before traveling inwards; and if there are certain types of exoplanets that exist more around specific types of stars.
Jessie Christiansen, who is the lead scientist for the NASA Exoplanet Archive at Caltech’s IPAC astronomy center, discussed the research by stating, “There was a lot of unexplored territory in these NASA Kepler archival data, so we worked together to build a new software pipeline that could uniformly look through the final four years of observations.”
(Not any of the planets mentioned in this article.)
Thanks to Kepler, so far there have been over 2,800 planets that have been confirmed and more than 3,250 that are awaiting confirmation (these include the recently discovered 172 new worlds). The research was published in The Astronomical Journal.
This news comes not long after it was reported that 301 new planets had been confirmed that brought the total at that time to 4,569. Currently, there are a total of 4,884 exoplanets that have been confirmed; 7,958 that are awaiting confirmation; and 3,659 planetary systems.
It’s most intriguing to note that in the United Statesthe black helicopter phenomenon began in 1973 – the very same year in which the U.K. was also hit by a wave of helicopter-based incidents, and that prompted the British Police Force’s Special Branch to launch an investigation. In the U.S., things started in the Hawkeye State: Iowa. For the first three months of the year, outraged farmers contacted local law enforcement officers with strange and unsettling stories: they would wake up in the morning, head to their fields and find several of their cattle dead. These were no normal deaths though. The genitals were gone, as were the eyeballs. Skin appeared to have been opened with the use of some kind of device employing incredible temperatures; maybe even a laser-based device. Organs were not savagely torn out – as they might have been if coyotes were the culprits. Instead, they were carefully cut out. Under cover of darkness, an unstoppable force was causing mayhem throughout the rural parts of Iowa. It wasn’t long before those same ranchers had something else to deal with. You have probably already guessed what that was. That’s right: black and unmarked helicopters.
But, were the pilots of the craft performing the mutilations? Or, were they monitoring the activities of the mutilators, who may not even have been human? These were the questions being asked seriously – and particularly so after sunset, when farmers wondered and dreaded what they might find when a new day dawned. Even local law enforcement were open to the idea that something from another realm of existence just might have been behind the mutilation wave. When the Iowa cases were at their height, local police authorities called in the FBI. Despite the large amount of testimony, photographs, necropsy reports, and extensive police files, the FBI stayed curiously out of the controversy. They maintained that since the events didn’t amount to “interstate transportation of the maimed animals,” they were powerless to get involved. The FBI, then, didn’t deny the reality of the grisly killings, but kept their distance because of bureaucratic reasons.
(Nick Redfern)
Where there were cattle mutilations there were black helicopters
When, in the fall of 1974, Nebraska was next on the hit-list, Senator Carl T. Curtis, who served in the U.S. Senate from 1955 to 1979, wanted answers – and he wanted those answers quickly. Such was Curtis’ level of concern, he went right to the Director of the FBI, Clarence M. Kelley, who, in 1973, took on the position of Director after the death of J. Edgar Hoover. Once again, though, the FBI took the stance that this was an area outside of their jurisdiction. Rumors abounded that the FBI had been warned to keep away from the subject. But, who would have the power and influence to ensure the FBI would stay away? It was a notable question. By 1975, things had gotten to the point where the FBI could not ignore what was going on – and in not just Iowa and Nebraska. Exasperated by a wave of mutes in his state of Colorado in seventy-five, Senator Floyd K. Haskell sent the following letter to FBI Director Kelley: “For several months my office has been receiving reports of cattle mutilations throughout Colorado and other western states. At least 130 cases in Colorado alone have been reported to local officials and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI); the CBI has verified that the incidents have occurred for the last two years in nine states. The ranchers and rural residents of Colorado are concerned and frightened by these incidents. The bizarre mutilations are frightening in themselves: in virtually all the cases, the left ear, rectum and sex organ of each animal has been cut away and the blood drained from the carcass, but with no traces of blood left on the ground and no footprints.”
(Nick Redfern)
Surveillance of the strange kind (over my old home and super-low)
If one hundred and thirty-plus incidents were not nearly enough to get the FBI involved, there was the matter of the black helicopters, which had also caught the attention of Senator Haskell. He added to Director Kelley: “In Colorado’s Morgan County area there has also been reports that a helicopter was used by those who mutilated the carcasses of the cattle, and several persons have reported being chased by a similar helicopter [italics mine]. Because I am gravely concerned by this situation, I am asking that the Federal Bureau of Investigation enter the case.” The senator signed off: “Although the CBI has been investigating the incidents, and local officials also have been involved, the lack of a central unified direction has frustrated the investigation. It seems to have progressed little, except for the recognition at long last that the incidents must be taken seriously. Now it appears that ranchers are arming themselves to protect their livestock, as well as their families and themselves, because they are frustrated by the unsuccessful investigation. Clearly something must be done before someone gets hurt.”
Since then, various others agencies and bodies- not only the FBI – have got involved. The list includes the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Atomic Energy. The mystery of the cattle mutilations still continues. The same goes for those strange helicopters, too.

Structures found on Dwarf Planet Ceres, Dec 20, 2021, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Dec 20, 2021
Location of discovery: Planet Ceres
I found an old NASA archive that I have never seen before. It holds a lot of deleted photos of planets, moons and ect. I added yellow color to make it easier for some to see them. I started exploring only a few minutes when I found several large alien structures on planet Ceres. The structures are about 5km across according to the ruler in the bottom left corner of the map. Yes, it's a map, not a small photo. I don't want to say where the link is until I am certain I have explored it well enough. NASA loves to delete and even move URLs as soon as they see them go viral, so I will keep its location secret for now. The evidence is clear...these are 100% proof of intelligent life on planet Ceres. But...the real question is...are these structures still inhabited or are they empty waiting to be used?

This event happened back in 2019, and I already reported one video of it, however another video just came in today from a woman eyewitness. Not everyone reports UFOs they see. Some people record them...holding onto the video and photos till they think about it more. When they are ready they release their evidence. Often people are frightened and have to wait till their emotions have accepted what they witnessed.
This new video shows the amazing Cincinnati lights event. Its absolutely amazing and 100% proof of UFOs over a major US city.

Giant Black Cube Near Our Sun Detected on NASAs SOHO photos, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: Dec 18, 2021
Location of sighting: Earths sun
Source:NASA/SOHO images
Today I was looking over photos from NASA sun images when I noticed a dark cube. The cube has been seen many times over the years and I do think this is an alien ship in the shape of a cube. The craft is big, larger than earth itself. It is frequently seen around the sun and then leaves. It looks like the cube is sucking up rare solar material only found around a sun itself. The energy particles it collects are probably used to run and create alien technology. There are many undiscovered particles in the universe that humanity has yet to discover. One day, we may have to compete with these aliens for mining our sun for the rare particles. I wonder...how thats going to effect human/alien relations in the future?

UFOs flashing over Cincinnati, Ohio
UFOs flashing over Cincinnati, Ohio
This UFO video was filmed back in August 5th 2019 but it was just today submitted to MUFON’s website. It happened over Cincinnati, OH.
Witness report:
We were driving to the grocery store when turning into the lot I thought I saw a black plane or helicopter. I wasn’t sure what since I was driving but when we turned my 15 yr old daughter and I both saw the 4 white lights hovering in the mostly cloudless evening sky. There were some high thin clouds but no inclement weather. There were 4 white circular orbs just hovering silently. We parked and she immediately got out of the car and began recording from her I Phone. During that time the orbs continued to hover and occasionally blink out and back. Eventually a 5th orb appeared out if nowhere. We quit recording because they just took off to the northeast and we couldn’t keep up. They were gone.
Conspiracy theorists all across the world have long been claiming that alien existence on earth is real. According to these conspiracy theorists, UFO sightings that happen in various parts of the globe are indicating the presence of an advanced extraterrestrial species on earth. Adding up the heat to these claims, dozens of UFOs were recently spotted in Paterson, New Jersey.
Multiple UFOs in New Jersey skies
The alleged UFO sighting apparently happened on December 10, 2021. In a video released by self-styled alien hunter Scott C Waring, multiple flying objects can be seen hovering in the night skies.
UFOs in New JerseyUFO SIGHTINGS DAILY
Waring, on his website UFO Sightings Daily claimed that these glowing objects could be alien vessels that reached the earth from deep space.
"In this five-minute video, we see dozens of glowing circular objects moving across the sky. The objects are following each other in a line. Sometimes in the video, I see a pair of objects moving apart, then suddenly moving back together so it seems they are trying to stay together. You can hear the eyewitnesses dismay and confusion in their voices as they watch the craft flying over them. At one point in the video one glowing object comes over them, he zoomed in on it, showing a whiteish sphere object, then it moves away. This moment excited the eyewitness who can be heard saying, "See! See I told you so!" meaning he said they were alien craft and this show of intelligence of the craft made that statement accurate," wrote Waring on his website.
Netizens react to new UFO sighting
The video uploaded by Waring has now gone viral on online spaces, and it has made many people believe that aliens are already here on earth. Most of the viewers who watched the clip uploaded by Waring assured that aliens are gearing up for disclosure, and it may happen anytime soon.
"These beings are making it clear that they want to be seen now," commented Just Me, a YouTube user.
Some other users claimed that these lights could be secret military vessels, while a section of people suggested that these UFOs could be mere drones.
In the wake of a UFO report last summer, the Pentagon has announced the formation of a new group that will investigate reports of UFOs close to sensitive military areas.
The new Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group will specifically look at reports of Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP) near U.S. military facilities. UAP is the military term to describe what is known as UFOs or Unexplained Flying Objects.
"Incursions by any airborne object into our SUA (Special Use Airspace) pose safety of flight and operations security concerns, and may pose national security challenges," said a Pentagon press release using the term that includes restricted military airspace, military operations areas, firing ranges and places restricted for national security and other uses.MORE: Few answers in unclassified UFO report
In a memo outlining the group's formation, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks wrote that unidentified aerial phenomena in special-use areas "represents a safety of flight risk to aircrews and raises potential national security concerns."
The new group will synchronize the Pentagon's efforts with other federal agencies "to detect, identify and attribute objects of interest in Special Use Airspace (SUA), and to assess and mitigate any associated threats to safety of flight and national security.MORE: Upcoming UFO report to Congress creating lots of buzz
It will be overseen by the under secretary of defense for intelligence, who will head an executive council including the director of the Joint Staff and senior officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Compiled by the Navy's Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force, that report could not explain 143 incidents and said 18 of them appeared "to demonstrate advanced technology." The UAP Task Force will now be absorbed into the newly formed group announced by the Pentagon.
The UAP report also identified the need to make improvements in the Pentagon's processes, policies, technologies and training to improve its ability to understand UAP.
China’s Mars rover has amassed reams of novel geological data
China’s Mars rover has amassed reams of novel geological data
Data collected by the Tianwen-1 mission and Zhurong Mars rover are offering insights into a previously unexplored region of Mars’s northern hemisphere.
In July, Zhurong took this image of the landing site of the parachute and part of the capsule that had carried it safely to the surface.

More than 30 scientists across the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macau are rushing to process data collected by China’s Mars rover, Zhurong, and by the nation’s Tianwen-1 spacecraft, which is in orbit around the planet. Several studies have trickled out, but researchers say that more are coming in the next weeks and months, offering insights on the climate, geology and history of Mars’s northern hemisphere.
Since September, the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), which has been receiving the data from space, has released nearly 200 gigabytes of information that was collected from eight instruments on the rover and orbiter between February and June. These instruments include cameras, a radar system, climate sensors and a laser spectrometer.
Some surface features, such as possible sedimentary material and potential mud volcanoes, hint at the historical flow of water, so scientists are looking for any clues that there was once water or ice below the surface. This is “of great scientific interest” because it might provide evidence of an ancient ocean, says Bo Wu, a planetary scientist at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, who is analysing some of the data.
Tianwen-1 arrived at Mars in February. In May, it dropped a lander containing Zhurong onto a vast basin known as Utopia Planitia. The rover’s initial mission was intended to be only about three months long, but it has exceeded expectations. Over a period of four months, the rover travelled more than 1,000 metres, visiting features of interest and even investigating part of the capsule that brought it to the surface, along with the remains of the descent parachute.
Pause in communications
In September, Zhurong was powered down into hibernation by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) because Mars had passed behind the Sun, relative to Earth, meaning that communication was lost. However, in October it was powered up again, and it has traversed another 200 metres in the direction of what might once have been the coastline of an ancient ocean.
The month-long break offered mission scientists at research institutes across China a chance to start analysing data. Some researchers had already received images of Mars from the orbiter’s cameras in March, and the CNSA had previously shared with the public images and videos taken by the rover during its descent and from the surface. But now researchers are studying the much larger volume of data released in September.
This data set includes images from Zhurong’s navigation camera; climatic data on temperature, pressure and wind speed; information on the chemical composition of rocks, soil and sand dunes from a laser spectrometer; and clues from below the surface from its ground-penetrating radar.
Apart from the handful of images and videos released by the CNSA, few scientific insights about the mission have been released or published until now. Researchers say this is because it has taken time to process and clean up the data.
Doing this ensures that the data are reliable and removes noise produced by the instruments, says Lu Pan, a planetary scientist at the University of Copenhagen. The fact that this mission is China’s first to the surface of another planet might also have slowed things down compared with NASA’s recent Mars missions. “If this is the first time you do it, there’s a learning process,” she says.
David Flannery, an astrobiologist at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia, who is in communication with scientists in China, says that the team’s approach to managing data could also have contributed to the delay in releasing new insights. With NASA’s Perseverance mission, which Flannery is involved in, each instrument on the rover is designed by a different team, which has exclusive access to data from that instrument for a few months before the data become available to all.
But under the CNSA model, the data generated for all the instruments on Zhurong and Tianwen-1 are processed by the NAOC, before making the information available to multiple teams of scientists linked to the mission.
The CNSA released this image in July of the view from the lander up towards the parachute as it drifted down to the surface of Mars.

Speeding up the analysis
Two publications have already emerged. One study1, posted as a preprint in late September, analysed images and information on friction that were gleaned from the movement of Zhurong’s wheels. The results show that regions of Mars that the rover trundled over have properties similar to those of compact, sandy soil on Earth.
The study “provides useful data about surface soil properties”, says Xiao Long, a planetary geologist at the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan. This might be helpful for understanding how soil and dust on the surface formed, says Long, who is also conducting his own analysis.
A second study2, published in August, used high-resolution images from the orbiter to pinpoint the rover’s precise coordinates on Mars. But researchers say that many more studies are expected soon, including some on the region’s topography.
So far, the data have been shared only with researchers directly involved with the mission, but Wu says that the NAOC will at some point release them to the public and the international community.
That could help to speed up the analysis. Scientists with more experience of Mars might be able to recognize features of interest and their significance more quickly, says Flannery. “Mars is peculiar in some ways, and geologists are only as good as the rocks they have seen in the past,” he adds.
Next phase of the mission
Zhurong will now continue to explore, potentially for years, as some of NASA’s Mars rovers have.
Tianwen-1 has also been busy. The spacecraft recently adjusted its orbit and switched from acting mainly as a communications relay between Zhurong and Earth to also conducting its own observations of Mars. Wenzhe Fa, a planetary scientist at Peking University, Beijing, who is analysing Zhurong’s radar data, says that on 11 November, the CNSA deployed and began to test the antenna for the orbiter’s radar.
Also earlier this month, the CNSA and the European Space Agency (ESA) trialled whether ESA’s Mars Express orbiter could be used to relay Zhurong’s data to Earth — an exercise that Pan says is an “amazing step” towards increased international collaboration with China.
As Zhurong resumes its journey, Bo says that he and his team are providing “suggestions for future data collection” that take in surface features of particular scientific interest.
But we’d wager most people don’t think that line applies to the actual rules of the universe itself. As it turns out, though, researchers at Microsoft, along with scientists at Brown University and even one expert who consulted for Disney’s “Wrinkle in Time” think the laws of physics might actually be slowly changing, complicating our quest to understand the cosmos.
Popular Mechanics published a lengthy explainer this week about a paper, titled “The Autodidactic Universe” and published earlier this year, in which the team argued for that precise mind-bending hypothesis. An autodidact, of course, is someone who learns without a mentor or teacher — and, these researchers say, the universe itself may be one.
“We ask whether there might be a mechanism woven into the fabric of the natural world, by means of which the universe could learn its laws,” the authors wrote in the paper, which has not yet been peer reviewed.
Over time, the theory goes, the universe has sought stability. PopMech draws parallels to animal evolution, too. There are no trilobites or dinosaurs anymore, but cats and dogs have survived because they adapted to the environment around them — and the cosmos may have done the same.
In an early version of the universe, for example, Newton’s laws of gravity — that all matter in the universe attracts other matter with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers — might not have been true yet.
“Over time, that system will teach itself, and some fundamental laws will arise, and that’s really what they’re talking about [in the paper],” Janna Levin, a professor of physics and astronomy at Barnard College of Columbia University who wasn’t involved in the research, told PopMech. “If the universe can compute with a given set of algorithms, then maybe it can do the same kind of thing we see in artificial intelligence, where you have self-learning systems that teach themselves new rules. And by rules, in cosmology we mean laws of physics.”
The paper’s authors also acknowledge their own skepticism and wrote their conclusions with caution, cautioning that their work is only a baby step in the formation of a new theory and requires additional research.
“Of course, this is just a first step,” the authors write. “There are varied potential spin-offs from our approach.”
It’s mind-bending to imagine that the laws of physics might learn and adapt over time. But it reminds us that the universe is stranger than we’ll ever know.
It may seem strange, but, in the 1960s, British military intelligence was secretly opening files on those citizens of the U.K. who were suspected of being alien abductees. This was, I should stress, post-Betty and Barney Hill. We have to focus on the intriguingly weird story of a young woman named Diane Foulkes. The year was 1966, the month was November. It was a month in which NASA’s Lunar Orbiter 2 was launched, John Lennon met Yoko Ono for the first time, and Ronald Reagan was elected Governor of California. Those historic events all paled against what Diane Foulkes had to endure: a close encounter with a strange craft in the sky and a period of missing time. As the U.K.’s Freedom of Information Act has shown, it was the Royal Air Force’s Provost and Security Services who secretly oversaw the investigation into Diane’s trauma-dominated experiences. We would almost certainly be completely oblivious to the facts of the affair, today, were it not for one significant thing: Diane Foulkes’s family decided to contact the military – in an effort to try and understand the nature of her experiences. At the time, twenty-two-year-old Diane – a typist working at a local company – was living with her parents in the old English town of Shrewsbury, in the county of Shropshire. It’s a town which was founded way back in the 9th century and its ancient architecture would not at all look out of place on the likes of Downton Abbey – nor would its surrounding green fields and hills, little old villages, and expansive woods.

Files and Files – and More Files
As for Diane’s encounter with something definitively unknown, it occurred on the night of November 8, 1966. Although, she kept silent about what had happened for two days; finally confiding in her mother and father on the 10th and revealing all. So shocked were Diane’s parents by what she had to say, her mother promptly contacted the local military base, Royal Air Force Shawbury, which was constructed in the latter stages of the First World War and that, today, is a training facility for military helicopter pilots. She spoke to a Flight Lieutenant Williams, who took a few notes and promised to pass the data onto the right people. We will soon learn who they were. We’ll likely never know what was going through the mind of Diane’s mother when she made that call to RAF Shawbury, but one can imagine it would not have been the easiest of things to do. After all, she was about to share the details of her daughter’s encounter with what may well have been a spacecraft constructed on another world. If Diane had worries about what the authorities might say, she had no need to. It’s most intriguing to note that the military took her story very seriously. To the extent that, four days later, a three-man team arrived at the Foulkes’ home. Questions were about to be asked and a secret file was about to be created.
It was around 7:00 p.m. when the knock on the door – that Diane Foulkes may have been dreading or looking forward to – finally came. Diane herself opened it and was confronted by three men dressed in plainclothes. The man who knocked on the door identified himself as Corporal Robert A. Rickwood, of the Royal Air Force. Notably, Corporal Rickwood carefully avoided adding that he also happened to be attached to the P&SS’ Special Investigation Section, the SIS, which undertook investigations of events with national security implications attached to them. Diane invited the three men into the living-room. They sat down, while her parents hovered awkwardly in the background. In typical English fashion, cups of tea were made for everyone and the interview began. Corporal Rickwood, perhaps aware that Diane was somewhat nervous, simply asked her to relate the facts, and added that he was here to help and try and figure out what it was that she had seen just a few nights earlier. Diane took a deep breath and began. She had been out for an evening with friends and, with midnight barely five minutes away, she was approaching the little village of Great Ness, which even today has a population of less than one thousand. Then, something weird happened, something totally unforeseen: Diane had an encounter of the UFO type.

When government personnel come calling about UFOs
Then, before she continued with her story, things became even more notable. As a quick aside, Diane said that this was not her first encounter of this particular type. She had had another close encounter – late at night, and in the same area – two years earlier. This was, of course, a surprise to Corporal Rickwood’s team. As a result, he suggested that Diane go back to the beginning, to ensure that they had all of the data in-hand and in chronological order. An incredible tale was about to be unfold. Corporal Rickwood’s now-declassified report states, in part: “The first occurred two years ago in November 1964, when she had been driving from Shrewsbury to her home along the A5 road. This was at about 0200 hours as she neared the Montford Bridge over the River Severn. Approximately midway between Shrewsbury and Great Ness a brightly lit circular object appeared in the sky above her car. She had been frightened and had accelerated along the road. The object had kept pace with her remaining at the same height until she arrived home. She had told her mother and father who also watched the object. She described the object as an especially bright light in the sky which remained stationary due west from their home for about half an hour. It had then rapidly diminished in size and they assumed it had accelerated away from them. No sound was heard from the object. The light was yellow in color and became red as it diminished.” That’s just a portion of the Provost and Security Services’ files.
As fascinating as all of this certainly is, it was yet another aside from Diane that had the P&SS guys sitting up and really taking notice. According to Diane, there was a lapse in time: although it was around 2:00 a.m. when she reached the Montford Bridge, it should actually have been much closer to 1:00 a.m. Hmm…
We humans have never ceased to push at the boundaries of what we can do with the natural world. We have tirelessly pushed forth into new frontiers, penetrated into the unknown, and tried to tinker with the very building blocks of life. There seems to be little that we have not failed to conquer, but one thing that seems to have always been just a force of nature that we have had to deal with is the weather. However, even this seemingly unconquerable realm has not been safe from our will to bend it to our will. Indeed, we have long been set on controlling the weather, and have come closer than some may think.
lthough the idea of controlling the weather may sound like something from straight out of a science fiction novel and the stuff of the future, people have been attempting this for a surprisingly long time. In 1891, the German American engineer and an inventor Louis Gathmann came up with the idea of blasting liquid carbon dioxide into rain clouds to make it rain, and in the 1930s there was the theory that supercooled water droplets present while ice crystals are released into rain clouds would cause rain, called the Bergeron–Findeisen process. This was pursued by General Electric ‘s Vincent Schaefer, who managed to find a way to change super-cooled water into ice crystals. In 1946, Schaefer would use his method to cause snow to fall at Mount Greylock in western Massachusetts, by dumping six pounds of dry ice into the target cloud from a plane. His colleague, Dr. Bernard Vonnegut, would discover another method using silver and iodide chemicals to produce silver iodide, which could be used to modify a cloud’s heat budget and chemistry to induce precipitation. This process would be known as “cloud seeding,” and the era of weather control was born.
Although electrical charges and infrared laser pulses have also been used in a limited capacity, by far the most widely used and common method of trying to modify the weather is that of cloud seeding, in which various substances are dispersed through the air or dropped directly into clouds to serve as cloud condensation or ice nuclei, which alter the microphysical processes within the cloud to induce rain or snowfall. The most common chemicals used for cloud seeding include silver iodide, potassium iodide and dry ice, which are either dispersed from an aircraft or shot up into the cloud using rockets or canisters fired from anti-aircraft guns. In the 1960s and 1970s the technology was used extensively, particularly by the U.S. government. One instance in the 1960s was called Project Stormfury, in which the U.S. military tried to alter hurricanes through cloud seeding to some success before the project was scrapped in the face of the danger involved with messing with one of nature’s most terrifying forces. From March 1967 until July 1972, the US military’s Operation Popeye used cloud seeding technology to extend the monsoon season over North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and through the 1970s and 1980s the United States Bureau of Reclamation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration conducted various cloud seeding projects, to varying degrees of success.
The United Sates is far from the only country to have pursued the technology, and cloud seeding projects have been taken up by various countries around the world, including Canada, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, France, Spain, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Australia, as well as some parts of Africa. It is most commonly used to try to artificially induce rain in regions with drought or low rainfall, but it has also been used to induce snowfall, reduce the severity of storms, improve the air quality by encouraging rainfall, reduce smog, reduce the size of hailstones that form in thunderstorms, produce snow or rain for hydro power, or stop rainfall by causing clouds to expend their rain before they arrive at a certain area.
Perhaps the country pursuing the technology most aggressively is the People’s Republic of China, which between 2012 and 2017 alone invested a total of 8.8 billion yuan ($1.38 billion) on their weather modification program. China used cloud seeding in Beijing just before the 2008 Olympic Games in order to have dry weather and clear skies for opening and closing ceremonies by coaxing rain showers out of clouds before they reached the Olympic city, and in February of 2009 used cloud seeding over Beijing to artificially induce snowfall after four months of drought. As recently as 2021 China used the technology to clear Beijing’s skies for the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) centenary in Tiananmen Square on July 1. In the face of overcast skies and high levels of smog on that day, rockets carrying silver iodine were launched above Beijing and the surrounding areas, having the effect of decreasing the level of the air pollutant PM2.5 by over 66% and bringing the air quality from “moderate” up to “good” under World Health Organization (WHO) standards. China is believed to have some of the largest and most advanced weather modification networks in the world, and has pledged to reach an “advanced” weather modification level by 2035.
Despite such widespread use and the promise of being able to control the weather, there have been a few setbacks for weather modification using cloud seeding. One is that its actual effectiveness has been called into question, with mixed results across the board and frequent difficulties in gaging whether there has been any statistically significant rise in rainfall. There has been much debate and differing opinions from experts, making it hard to tell just how well it actually works. Whereas some countries have claimed amazing results, for instance United Arab Emirates scientists have estimated that cloud seeding operations can enhance rainfall by as much as 30 to 35 percent, other studies and research have come to the conclusion that it has little to no impact on the amount of precipitation. For instance, he US National Research Council (NRC) said of its own conclusions of cloud seeding:
Science is unable to say with assurance which, if any, seeding techniques produce positive effects. In the 55 years following the first cloud-seeding demonstrations, substantial progress has been made in understanding the natural processes that account for our daily weather. Yet scientifically acceptable proof for significant seeding effects has not been achieved.
So does it work or not? There have been so many wildly differing opinions and test results that it is hard to say. Another hurdle has been the potential for environmental damage, as it is still poorly understood what the ecological effects of pumping these chemicals into the clouds will be, nor what happens to an ecosystem when it gets more than rain than it is supposed to. Manipulating the weather was once only something Mother Nature could do, so what happens when we start creating rain where there should be none? It is not entirely understood yet. Additionally, there are worries that the technology could potentially be used as a weapon, such as what was done during the Vietnam War with the creation of monsoons. After all, being able to cause massive floods or to create beastly hurricanes to ravage one’s enemies would definitely be a useful weapon in any country’s arsenal. There have already been several conspiracy theories that such weaponry has already been developed, and the possibility is such a concern that the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD) was formed to regulate military or any other hostile uses of weather modification technologies. Finally, there are the legal implications, as who actually really owns the clouds? The answer to this is murky, and so there is a potential morass of legal tangles involved with manipulation of the weather.
Does any of this really stop those who would control the weather from trying? Of course not. The experiments and research continues. Can we guarantee that this is all for benevolent reasons? No, we cannot. How far will it all go? Who knows? Whatever the case may be, it shows that we are doggedly at trying to tame this world, to bend it to our will, and this frontier of controlling the weather may just be one step towards more yet to come. where will it take us ultimately and what price will there be to pay for trying to tinker with the work of mother nature? There can be no way to know.

Whether you believe in predictions or not, the Old Moore’s Almanac Baba Vanga and Nostradamus predictions are well known for their accuracy.
The Irish 'Old Moore’s Almanac' is 258 years old. Its founder, Theophilus Moore, ran a classical academy at Milltown which was then a village near Dublin (since that time, it has been incorporated into the city). A teacher of Irish, English, Greek and Latin, he became known as a clever mathematician and a wizard of astrology, gaining the nickname 'The Irish Merlin'. He published his Old Moore's Almanac for the first time in 1764.
Here are some of the Old Moore’s Almanac predictions for 2022
1. Shortages of items cause panic and hoarding
2. A tourist spaceship has an incident which makes world news
3. News about Malaysia’s missing flight MH370
4. There will be a second pandemic, unrelated to the first
5. Robotics takes a lot of blue-collar work but add on white-collar work

3. A lack of drinking water. Many cities can expect to be hit by a shortage of drinking water.
4. An alien ship will attack Earth
5. Virtual reality will take over
Michel de Nostredame, usually Latinised as Nostradamus, was a French astrologer, physician and reputed seer, who is best known for his book Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains allegedly predicting future events. The book was first published in 1555.

NASA Enters the Solar Atmosphere for the First Time, Bringing New Discoveries
NASA Enters the Solar Atmosphere for the First Time, Bringing New Discoveries
A major milestone and new results from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe were announced on Dec. 14 in a press conference at the 2021 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in New Orleans. The results have been published in Physical Review Letters and accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal.
For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there.
The new milestone marks one major step for Parker Solar Probe and one giant leap for solar science. Just as landing on the Moon allowed scientists to understand how it was formed, touching the very stuff the Sun is made of will help scientists uncover critical information about our closest star and its influence on the solar system.
"Parker Solar Probe “touching the Sun” is a monumental moment for solar science and a truly remarkable feat," said Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Not only does this milestone provide us with deeper insights into our Sun's evolution and its impacts on our solar system, but everything we learn about our own star also teaches us more about stars in the rest of the universe.”
As it circles closer to the solar surface, Parker is making new discoveries that other spacecraft were too far away to see, including from within the solar wind – the flow of particles from the Sun that can influence us at Earth. In 2019, Parker discovered that magnetic zig-zag structures in the solar wind, called switchbacks, are plentiful close to the Sun. But how and where they form remained a mystery. Halving the distance to the Sun since then, Parker Solar Probe has now passed close enough to identify one place where they originate: the solar surface.
The first passage through the corona – and the promise of more flybys to come – will continue to provide data on phenomena that are impossible to study from afar.
“Flying so close to the Sun, Parker Solar Probe now senses conditions in the magnetically dominated layer of the solar atmosphere – the corona – that we never could before,” said Nour Raouafi, the Parker project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. “We see evidence of being in the corona in magnetic field data, solar wind data, and visually in images. We can actually see the spacecraft flying through coronal structures that can be observed during a total solar eclipse.”
Closer Than Ever Before
Parker Solar Probe launched in 2018 to explore the mysteries of the Sun by traveling closer to it than any spacecraft before. Three years after launch and decades after first conception, Parker has finally arrived.
Unlike Earth, the Sun doesn’t have a solid surface. But it does have a superheated atmosphere, made of solar material bound to the Sun by gravity and magnetic forces. As rising heat and pressure push that material away from the Sun, it reaches a point where gravity and magnetic fields are too weak to contain it.
That point, known as the Alfvén critical surface, marks the end of the solar atmosphere and beginning of the solar wind. Solar material with the energy to make it across that boundary becomes the solar wind, which drags the magnetic field of the Sun with it as it races across the solar system, to Earth and beyond. Importantly, beyond the Alfvén critical surface, the solar wind moves so fast that waves within the wind cannot ever travel fast enough to make it back to the Sun – severing their connection.
Until now, researchers were unsure exactly where the Alfvén critical surface lay. Based on remote images of the corona, estimates had put it somewhere between 10 to 20 solar radii from the surface of the Sun – 4.3 to 8.6 million miles. Parker’s spiral trajectory brings it slowly closer to the Sun and during the last few passes, the spacecraft was consistently below 20 solar radii (91 percent of Earth’s distance from the Sun), putting it in the position to cross the boundary – if the estimates were correct.
On April 28, 2021, during its eighth flyby of the Sun, Parker Solar Probe encountered the specific magnetic and particle conditions at 18.8 solar radii (around 8.1 million miles) above the solar surface that told scientists it had crossed the Alfvén critical surface for the first time and finally entered the solar atmosphere.
“We were fully expecting that, sooner or later, we would encounter the corona for at least a short duration of time,” said Justin Kasper, lead author on a new paper about the milestone published in Physical Review Letters, and deputy chief technology officer at BWX Technologies, Inc. and University of Michigan professor. “But it is very exciting that we’ve already reached it.”

Into the Eye of the Storm
During the flyby, Parker Solar Probe passed into and out of the corona several times. This is proved what some had predicted – that the Alfvén critical surface isn’t shaped like a smooth ball. Rather, it has spikes and valleys that wrinkle the surface. Discovering where these protrusions line up with solar activity coming from the surface can help scientists learn how events on the Sun affect the atmosphere and solar wind.
At one point, as Parker Solar Probe dipped to just beneath 15 solar radii (around 6.5 million miles) from the Sun’s surface, it transited a feature in the corona called a pseudostreamer. Pseudostreamers are massive structures that rise above the Sun’s surface and can be seen from Earth during solar eclipses.
As Parker Solar Probe passed through the corona on encounter nine, the spacecraft flew by structures called coronal streamers. These structures can be seen as bright features moving upward in the upper images and angled downward in the lower row. Such a view is only possible because the spacecraft flew above and below the streamers inside the corona. Until now, streamers have only been seen from afar. They are visible from Earth during total solar eclipses. Credits: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL/Naval Research Laboratory
Passing through the pseudostreamer was like flying into the eye of a storm. Inside the pseudostreamer, the conditions quieted, particles slowed, and number of switchbacks dropped – a dramatic change from the busy barrage of particles the spacecraft usually encounters in the solar wind.
For the first time, the spacecraft found itself in a region where the magnetic fields were strong enough to dominate the movement of particles there. These conditions were the definitive proof the spacecraft had passed the Alfvén critical surface and entered the solar atmosphere where magnetic fields shape the movement of everything in the region.
The first passage through the corona, which lasted only a few hours, is one of many planned for the mission. Parker will continue to spiral closer to the Sun, eventually reaching as close as 8.86 solar radii (3.83 million miles) from the surface. Upcoming flybys, the next of which is happening in January 2022, will likely bring Parker Solar Probe through the corona again.
“I’m excited to see what Parker finds as it repeatedly passes through the corona in the years to come,” said Nicola Fox, division director for the Heliophysics Division at NASA Headquarters. “The opportunity for new discoveries is boundless.”
The size of the corona is also driven by solar activity. As the Sun’s 11-year activity cycle – the solar cycle – ramps up, the outer edge of the corona will expand, giving Parker Solar Probe a greater chance of being inside the corona for longer periods of time.
“It is a really important region to get into because we think all sorts of physics potentially turn on,” Kasper said. “And now we're getting into that region and hopefully going to start seeing some of these physics and behaviors.”
Narrowing Down Switchback Origins
Even before the first trips through the corona, some surprising physics was already surfacing. On recent solar encounters, Parker Solar Probe collected data pinpointing the origin of zig-zag-shaped structures in the solar wind, called switchbacks. The data showed one spot that switchbacks originate is at the visible surface of the Sun – the photosphere.
By the time it reaches Earth, 93 million miles away, the solar wind is an unrelenting headwind of particles and magnetic fields. But as it escapes the Sun, the solar wind is structured and patchy. In the mid-1990s, the NASA-European Space Agency mission Ulysses flew over the Sun’s poles and discovered a handful of bizarre S-shaped kinks in the solar wind’s magnetic field lines, which detoured charged particles on a zig-zag path as they escaped the Sun. For decades, scientists thought these occasional switchbacks were oddities confined to the Sun’s polar regions.
In 2019, at 34 solar radii from the Sun, Parker discovered that switchbacks were not rare, but common in the solar wind. This renewed interest in the features and raised new questions: Where were they coming from? Were they forged at the surface of the Sun, or shaped by some process kinking magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere?
The new findings, in press at the Astrophysical Journal, finally confirm one origin point is near the solar surface.
The clues came as Parker orbited closer to the Sun on its sixth flyby, less than 25 solar radii out. Data showed switchbacks occur in patches and have a higher percentage of helium – known to come from the photosphere – than other elements. The switchbacks’ origins were further narrowed when the scientists found the patches aligned with magnetic funnels that emerge from the photosphere between convection cell structures called supergranules.
In addition to being the birthplace of switchbacks, the scientists think the magnetic funnels might be where one component of the solar wind originates. The solar wind comes in two different varieties – fast and slow – and the funnels could be where some particles in the fast solar wind come from.
“The structure of the regions with switchbacks matches up with a small magnetic funnel structure at the base of the corona,” said Stuart Bale, professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and lead author on the new switchbacks paper. “This is what we expect from some theories, and this pinpoints a source for the solar wind itself.”
Understanding where and how the components of the fast solar wind emerge, and if they’re linked to switchbacks, could help scientists answer a longstanding solar mystery: how the corona is heated to millions of degrees, far hotter than the solar surface below.
While the new findings locate where switchbacks are made, the scientists can’t yet confirm how they’re formed. One theory suggests they might be created by waves of plasma that roll through the region like ocean surf. Another contends they’re made by an explosive process known as magnetic reconnection, which is thought to occur at the boundaries where the magnetic funnels come together.
“My instinct is, as we go deeper into the mission and lower and closer to the Sun, we're going to learn more about how magnetic funnels are connected to the switchbacks,” Bale said. “And hopefully resolve the question of what process makes them.”
As Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the Sun, it’s crossing into uncharted regimes and making new discoveries. This image represents Parker Solar Probe's distances from the Sun for some of these milestones and discoveries. Credits: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Mary P. Hrybyk-Keith
Now that researchers know what to look for, Parker’s closer passes may reveal even more clues about switchbacks and other solar phenomena. The data to come will allow scientists a glimpse into a region that’s critical for superheating the corona and pushing the solar wind to supersonic speeds. Such measurements from the corona will be critical for understanding and forecasting extreme space weather events that can disrupt telecommunications and damage satellites around Earth.
“It’s really exciting to see our advanced technologies succeed in taking Parker Solar Probe closer to the Sun than we’ve ever been, and to be able to return such amazing science,” said Joseph Smith, Parker program executive at NASA Headquarters. "We look forward to seeing what else the mission discovers as it ventures even closer in the coming years."
Parker Solar Probe is part of NASA’s Living with a Star program to explore aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society. The Living with a Star program is managed by the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, manages the Parker Solar Probe mission for NASA and designed, built, and operates the spacecraft.

Inside CIA’s secret ‘Stargate’ project which used psychics to find ‘ancient aliens’ living on Mars millions of years ago
THE CIA used alleged psychics in a bizarre bid to find aliens on Mars and learn about life on the Red Planet one million years ago.
The world's most powerful spy agency now openly admits the programme existed and worked with people who claimed to have supernatural powers
The CIA asked a psychic to 'view' aliens on Mars
UFOs sketches drawn by psychics during the experiments
The $20m project became known as 'Stargate' and was set up because the US believed the Soviet Union was investing heavily in similar research.
Initially, in a bid to read the minds of enemies, a secret army unit based at Fort Meade in Maryland investigated "extra sensory perception".
The agency worked with people who claimed to have "remote viewing" powers meaning they can 'see' areas and people in different locations without actually being there.
One of the most fascinating experiments took place on May 22, 1984 and was called simply 'Mars Exploration'.
According to the CIA's own documents, the unnamed psychic described "The planet Mars. Time of interest approximately 1 million years B.C."
Scientists believe that life could have existed on the planet millions of years ago, which may explain why the US government wanted "data" from this time period.
The alleged psychic said he could to see "huge" pyramids, an obelisk structure, and road networks on the Red Planet.
He then described a number of shelters visible on the surface of Mars.
The man said: "Different chambers…but they’re almost stripped of any kind of furnishings or anything.
"It’s like ah…strictly [a] functional place for sleeping or that’s not a good word, hibernations, some form.
"I can’t, I get real raw inputs, storms, savage storm and sleeping through storms."
Asked by a CIA agent who would sleep through the storms, the man claimed to be able to make out an alien race.
"Ah very tall, very large people but they're very thin," he said.
"They’re ancient people. They’re dying. It’s past their time or age."
'ANCIENT MARTIANS'
On the CIA's own website, a Q&A was published last month outlining the programme.
Before the research moved to Fort Meade in the latter part of the decade, the project began in 1972 at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in California.
The agency, at the request of Congress, declassified the project's records and later published all the records online.
Details about the secret project had been leaked to the media since the 1980s.
Army veteran Joseph McMoneagle claims that remote viewers, such as himself, were used to track down hostages taken by terror groups and hunt US fugitives.
McMoneagle told the Washington Post that he was involved in 450 missions between 1978 and 1984.
He says he helped the military locate hostages in Iran and also detected a tiny radio hidden in the calculator of a suspected Russian spy in South Africa.
The alleged remote viewer admitted the practice is not always accurate saying: "Ninety-eight percent of the people are kooks."
Uri Geller, celebrity psychic and famed spoon bender from Israel, was also studied as part of the project.
During these experiments, Geller sat in a sealed and monitored room where he was asked to draw words and objects using his psychic powers.

In one of the tests, a word was selected at random from a dictionary.
The first word selected was "fuse". A firecracker was then drawn by someone outside the locked room.
Geller was told via intercom the drawing was finished after the picture had been taped to the wall outside.
The CIA documents say: "His almost immediate response was that he saw a 'cylinder with noise coming out of it'.
"His drawing to correspond with it was a drum, along with a number of cylindrical-looking objects."
The second word chosen was "bunch" and a scientist drew a bunch of grapes.
The documents continue: "He then talked about 'purple circles'.
"Finally, he said that he was quite sure that he had the picture. His drawing was indeed a bunch of grapes."

The researchers concluded Uri "demonstrated his paranormal perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner".
The CIA said it ended the programme in 1977 and handed it over to the Defense intelligence Agency (DIA) where it was eventually renamed with the codename GRILL FLAME.
By the mid-1990s, the DIA handed the project back to the CIA prompting the spy agency to fund an independent study group to assess the findings.
Four researchers from the American Institute for Research published their findings in 1995.
Speaking about the report, the CIA wrote: "That report’s conclusion—which echoed the assessments of the CIA officers involved in the program during the 1970s was that enough accurate remote viewing experiences existed to defy randomness, but that the phenomenon was too unreliable, inconsistent, and sporadic to be useful for intelligence purposes.
"We decided not to restore the program."

These glowing objects above the Moon are electromagnetic spaceships
These glowing objects above the Moon are electromagnetic spaceships
During the Apollo missions, many photos were taken by the crews including rare images of strange bright and glowing objects above, on or near the moon. Here are some rare images of these bright objects captured during the Apollo 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 missions.
Now, there seems to be a ”Moon Industry” to have held for at least the past fifty years in the crater Plato as moving and flashing lights have been observed at the bottom of the crater. For over hundred years the British Royal Astronomical Society has reported 1600 similar sightings of bright lights in the crater Aristarchus, lights at the eastern foot of the lunar Alps, in Mare Crisium a series of spots and streaks of light, and long light lines were seen from the crater Eudoxus.
These bright lights seem to be driven by electromagnetic energy. This energy will offer unlimited opportunities to build huge objects and to move and live in almost any environment. These electromagnetic spaceships emit a pulsing glow under different conditions as the density of the atmosphere, humidity, velocity and the height of the spacecraft.
There can be no doubt, that many of these lights, especially the glowing moving objects, 'electromagnetic spaceships' are intelligently controlled.
ELON MUSK’S MARS CITY NEEDS TO LEARN JUST ONE VITAL LESSON
ELON MUSK WANTS to unlock humanity’s sci-fi potential. Using an app with only your mind? Musk has that covered with Neuralink. Cars that drive themselves? He’s working on itwith Tesla. Putting those very self-driving cars in tunnels? Sure, he’s on that too.
But Musk’s most ambitious goal comes in the form of SpaceX, which has big plans to build a million-strong, self-sustaining city on the red planet by 2050. The only problem is how his Mars City’s government would work.
Next stop, Mars.
Joe Raedle/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been established about your legal rights as a Mars citizen:
The 1967 Outer Space Treaty says that your country is responsible for what gets launched into space — so spaceships launched from the United States answer to the United States
SpaceX’s Starlink terms of service declare Mars is a “free planet” where no Earth-based government has control over its authority
SpaceX’s former general counsel David Anderman argued in Musk Reads+ #97 that the city might need to declare access to basic resources like air and water
Musk argued in 2018 that adirect democracycould make sense for the small settlement
Want to know more about how giving birth is a problem, how tips from 1612 could help out settlers in 3012, and whether you could brave the lowest temperatures on Mars? Read the full interview with writer Greg Bear, only in MUSK READS+.
SPACEX MARS CITY: 13 COLONIES
Science fiction writer Greg Bear, who previously participated in the National Space Society that advocates for greater access to space, tells Inverse that the first settlers will be “free thinkers.” They will have to come up with their own solutions for government, and as free thinkers in a strange new world, they may have radically different ideas.
“I keep changing my tune on this,” he says. “I just have no idea what people will decide to do when they get to another planet, especially a very difficult planet like Mars.”
It’s a question Bear has considered for a long time. His 1993 novel Moving Mars looks at a future Mars society governed by Earth in the interests of its corporations. An independence movement emerges over the course of generations.
Bear argues that, similar to Moving Mars, the early United States could offer lessons for the future city...

New Anonymous: "Now This Is Terrifying" - Alien-Like Strange Implants Found in Humans (2021)
In ufology, alien implants is a term used to describe physical objects allegedly placed in someone’s body after they have been abducted by aliens. Claimed capabilities of the implants range from telepresence to mind control to biotelemetry (the latter akin to humans tagging wild animals for study). As with UFO subjects in general, the idea of “alien implants” has seen very little attention from mainstream scientists. Alien abduction (sometimes also called abduction phenomenon, alien abduction syndrome, or UFO abduction) refers to the phenomenon of people reporting what they believe to be the real experience of being kidnapped by extraterrestrial beings and subjected to physical and psychological experimentation.
Most scientists and mental health professionals explain these experiences by factors such as suggestibility (e.g. false memory syndrome), sleep paralysis, deception, and psychopathology.[2] Skeptic Robert Sheaffer sees similarity between the aliens depicted in science fiction films, in particular Invaders From Mars (1953), and some of those reported to have actually abducted people. People claiming to have been abducted are usually called “abductees” or “experiencers”.
Extraterrestrial life is hypothetical life that may occur outside Earth and which did not originate on Earth. Such life might range from simple prokaryotes (or comparable life forms) to intelligent beings and even sapient beings, possibly bringing forth civilizations that might be far more advanced than humanity. The Drake equation speculates about the existence of sapient life elsewhere in the universe. The science of extraterrestrial life in all its forms is known as astrobiology. Since the mid-20th century, active ongoing research has taken place to look for signs of extraterrestrial life. This encompasses a search for current and historic extraterrestrial life, and a narrower search for extraterrestrial intelligent life. Depending on the category of search, methods range from the analysis of telescope and specimen data to radios used to detect and send communication signals. The concept of extraterrestrial life, and particularly extraterrestrial intelligence, has had a major cultural impact, chiefly in works of science fiction. Over the years, science fiction communicated scientific ideas, imagined a wide range of possibilities, and influenced public interest in and perspectives of extraterrestrial life. One shared space is the debate over the wisdom of attempting communication with extraterrestrial intelligence. Some encourage aggressive methods to try for contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life. Others—citing the tendency of technologically advanced human societies to enslave or wipe out less advanced societies—argue that it may be dangerous to actively call attention to Earth. This is, “NOW THIS Is Terrifying..” Alien-like Strange Implants Found In Humans

40 Meter Disk Found In Antarctica, Google Earth Map! UFO Sighting News.
40 Meter Disk Found In Antarctica, Google Earth Map! UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Dec 18, 2021
Location of discovery: South Polar region, Antartica
Google coordinates: 74°35'37.57"S 164°54'28.90"E
Guys, I found this today and its just blowing my mind! Its in Antartica and its about 40 meters across sitting in an area the looks like a heart. I think this is the big one guys, the real deal. I imagine that soon after I release this video, some government somewhere will go and retrieve it. Wow, and its in a heart shaped break in the ice, which really makes me wonder, did they do that on purpose for the fun of it? Or did the disk cause the shape in the ice when it landed in this area? Sure its the perfect hiding place for an alien ship, because no-one will ever see it hidden out there in Antarctica. No-one will ever wander past it or hike near it or even sail near it. Its just the perfect location for a UFO to hide. I really wonder, which government is going to get their hands on this baby first? 100% proof that aliens exist and are on Earth right now. So...the treasure hunt begins. Winner gets all.
White Sphere Over Fort Worth, Texas On 10-7-2021, UFO Sighting News.
White Sphere Over Fort Worth, Texas On 10-7-2021, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: 10-7-2021
Location of sighting: Fort Worth, Texas, USA Source: MUFON
The first half of the video I made a close up so you can see it better, the second half is 100% original. The object is a round white sphere. Its easy to see its not Venus because Venus always appears to be a white glow, not a sphere. This object is flying very low and close to the eyewitnesses. White spheres are the most common type of UFOs seen which makes them harder to deny, when the research back up their existence. The UFO is watching them as they watch it. Each...learning about the other in their own ways. 100% proof of UFOs over Texas!
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
A couple months ago near Fort Worth, I filmed a strange bright object in the sky. It sat stationary for some time, then moved off slowly. It appeared as a bright white circular object. It was not a planet or star. I decided to wrote you when I saw the exact same object (this time a pair) in video filmed over Kansas City. The film was on the show paranormal caught on tape. The objects are identical in appearance and behavior to what I filmed.
Cabal leaders go to Antarctica to surrender to Extraterrestrials and Earth Alliance
Cabal leaders go to Antarctica to surrender to Extraterrestrials and Earth Alliance
News has recently emerged of global elites (aka cabal) going to Antarctica for a secret meeting. We know from public tweets that Claus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, and Cristina Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank attended a secret Antarctica meeting. Two others present were Brad Garlinghouse and David Schwartz, respectively the President and Chief Technical Officer of Ripple Labs, a computer software company specializing in online payment systems.
The XRP site posts satirical stories, and takes pride in misinforming people. Unfortunately, regarding the four Antarctica tweets, this does cast considerable doubt on their authenticity.
However, disinformation is designed to muddy the waters about real events, and something did genuinely happen in Antarctica as one of the four sources, David Schwartz, is actively posting about his recent trip there. So we know one of the four twitter sources did go to Antarctica. Learn more at:exopolitics.org
Strange UFO sighting filmed in the sky above Calipatria, a city in Imperial County, California in 17th December 2021.
Witness report:
I looked outside to my backyard and I saw these 2 orb’s glowing like sun but pulsating, I new it was a UFO but still doubted until I zoomed the video and I new for sure I yelled for my neighbor to come out so I have a witness I just didn’t ask him for permission to use his name since it’s late at night and I didn’t want to bother him anymore, he was also convinced it’s a ufo when I first went out I saw 2 of them hovering then they started moving south slowly until they disappeared then 1 appeared coming towards me then started heading south and it happened again 3 total sightings 2 on the first sighting then just 1 of them twice I live in Southern California 32 miles from the Mexican border and in between San Diego and Yuma Az these things looked as if they were going up and back looking for something and for a split second we both saw what appeared to be a beam of light come out of the sky with the ufo,s out of sight it was so fast and thin that we both didn’t know what we were looking at this concludes my sighting
Just when we thought the world couldn’t get any weirder and more mysterious, a huge stone ball was recently discovered in Bosnia.
It is an approximately 10-foot wide sphere, and it weighs well over 35 tons in total and its origins are a mystery to everyone involved.
Ancient Giant Stone Ball Found in Bosnia
Suad Keserovic is the man that we need to thank for this amazing discovery, and because of his discovery, the place was swarmed with fans of the strange and unexplained.
Everybody that went to see the huge sphere had the same question in mind, was this an incredible feat of nature, or is this yet another proof of an ancient lost civilization and their brilliant inventions?
Ancient Giant Stone Ball Found in Bosnia
Bosnia, Zavidovici is the area where it was discovered, more specifically in the Podubravlje village. Density wise, the boulder literally resembles iron, being about 7.8kg / m3.
A lot of people were quick to judge this off as definitive proof of an ancient lost civilization, but before we jump to any conclusions we do need to address the fact that the sphere is the most common form in nature.
What truly sets this finding apart from the rest though is the perfection in its craft.
It is simply put way too perfectly round and perfectly sized to be just a freak of nature. The area has been flooded by researchers and we definitely expect to hear more about it in the near future if it is proven to be proof of the lost civilization we spoke of before.

This unusual object was recently captured on camera by skywatcher Peter Benton.
The UK has certainly seen its fair share of UFO sightings over the years, with some the most memorable cases in history (such as the Rendlesham Forest incident) occurring there.
This recently released clip, which was filmed by Peter Benton, shows a rounded, dark-colored object that he spotted milling around in the sky over Stechford, England back in October.
He claimed that he had been filming the moon when the object entered his field of view.
"I like to film the moon during the day even if it's a crescent," he wrote on YouTube.
"I tend to catch things more frequently this way as is what occurred here in this clip, I lost track of it and quickly tried to get it back but lost it."
"It was moving right to left, if you notice it has a light at front and 2 lights or afterburners at back lighting up, it also turns on its side."
As for what the object could be, nobody has yet come up with a definitive explanation.

UFOs, UAPs — whatever they're called, the US needs to know what they are
St. Louis Post-Dispatch Editorial Board (TNS) | York Dispatch
A few years ago, it would have drawn jokes and scorn. But given the continuing mystery over what, exactly, U.S. military pilots are seeing in the skies, a congressional proposal to create an “Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office” — an office to investigate what used to be called UFOs — makes sense.
This is no laughing matter. In 2017, The New York Times reported that the U.S. military was gathering data from pilots who had reported unexplained encounters during their flights. Recently released video of some of those encounters defies conventional explanation — objects moving at speeds and in ways that don’t conform with current aviation technological capabilities. And unlike most of the wack-a-doodle stuff from UFO culture, the Pentagon confirms those videos are real.
It’s not to say these are little green men. This could be Russian or Chinese or North Korean technology being taken out for a test-drive under the noses of American military pilots to gauge U.S. reaction. Among the most startling aspects of the Pentagon’s recent new openness on this topic is its acknowledgment that this isn’t one or two or a half-dozen unexplained encounters. It’s happening with relative frequency, often in restricted airspace.
The acronym UFO — unidentified flying object — was a military creation from the 1950s but has since then been so thoroughly commandeered by pop culture that the military has ditched it and now uses a new acronym: UAP, for “unidentified aerial phenomena.” (No doubt it’ll appear in the title of a Steven Spielberg film some time soon.)
The Pentagon this summer issued a report on UAP sightings that raised more questions than it answered. It found no solid evidence that the still-unexplained sightings were from global adversaries or … something else … but it encouraged political leaders to begin taking the issue more seriously than they traditionally have.
Not so long ago, it would have sounded like science fiction, but today it makes perfect sense that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., is proposing creation of the Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office, dedicated to investigating these sightings as they occur. Gillibrand has introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act establishing the office.
“If it is technology possessed by adversaries or any other entity, we need to know. … Burying our heads in the sand is neither a strategy nor an acceptable approach,” Gillibrand told Politico last month. “I can count on one hand the number of hearings I had in 10 years on this topic. That’s fairly concerning given the experience our service members have had over the last decade.”
The idea has wide bipartisan support — a rarity these days, and an indication of how seriously this once-snicker-inducing topic is now being taken in Washington. For once, Washington is right.

RESEARCHERS TEACH HUMAN BRAIN CELLS IN A DISH TO PLAY “PONG”
RESEARCHERS TEACH HUMAN BRAIN CELLS IN A DISH TO PLAY “PONG”
"WHEN THEY ARE IN THE GAME, THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE THE PADDLE."
CORTICAL LABS
Cyborg Brains
Scientists have successfully taught a collection of human brain cells in a petri dish how to play the video game “Pong” — kind of.
Researchers at the biotechnology startup Cortical Labs have created “mini-brains“ consisting of 800,000 to one million living human brain cells in a petri dish, New Scientist reports. The cells are placed on top of a microelectrode array that analyzes the neural activity.
“We think it’s fair to call them cyborg brains,” Brett Kagan, chief scientific officer at Cortical Labs and research lead of the project, told New Scientist.
Pick Up the Paddle
To teach the mini-brains the game, the team created a simplified version of “Pong” with no opponent. A signal is sent to either the right or left of the array to indicate where the ball is, and the neurons from the brain cells send signals back to move the paddle.
“We often refer to them as living in the Matrix,” Kagan told the magazine, in a horrifyingly reference to the 1999 movie in which humans are enslaved by AI overlords in an all-encompassing simulation. “When they are in the game, they believe they are the paddle.”
Well, that’s a scary enough concept to cause some existential panic for anyone.
Faster Than AI
Kagan said that while the mini-brains can’t play the game as well as a human, they do learn faster than some AIs.
“The amazon aspect is how quickly it learns, in five minutes, in real time,” he told New Scientist. “That’s really an amazing thing that biology can do.”
While this is certainly some amazing Twitch fodder, the team at Cortical Labs hope to use their findings to develop sophisticated technology using “live biological neurons integrated with traditional silicon computing,” according to the outfit’s website.
So yeah, they want to create cyborg brains that use actual biological cells — which makes sense. Since neurons can learn so quickly, it can vastly improve current AI when brought together with machine learning.
But we never would have guessed that the plot of “The Matrix” would actually occur before the newest movie comes out.
In the heart of Mars’ canyon system called Valles Marineris, the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter has detected significant amounts of water. Measuring more than 2,500 miles in length, Valles Marineris stretches out nearly a quarter of the planet’s circumference around the equator. It is the largest canyon in our Solar System.
The water beneath the soil of the canyon was detected by the Trace Gas Orbiter’s (TGO) FREND instrument. The area in which it was detected overlaps a deep valley in the canyon called Candor Chaos. And the water-rich region is massive as it’s approximately the same size as the Netherlands.
Water ice has previously been detected in the cold polar regions of the Red Planet, so the fact that it was found near the equator where the canyon is located is even more astonishing.

Igor Mitrofanov from the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia, and the principal investigator of the FREND (Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector) neutron telescope, went into further details, “With TGO we can look down to one metre below this dusty layer and see what’s really going on below Mars’ surface – and, crucially, locate water-rich ‘oases’ that couldn’t be detected with previous instruments,” adding, “FREND revealed an area with an unusually large amount of hydrogen in the colossal Valles Marineris canyon system: assuming the hydrogen we see is bound into water molecules, as much as 40% of the near-surface material in this region appears to be water.”
The team of experts studied observations made by FREND between May of 2018 and February of 2021 and that’s when they found neutrons as explained by Alexey Malakhov from the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, “Neutrons are produced when highly energetic particles known as ‘galactic cosmic rays’ strike Mars; drier soils emit more neutrons than wetter ones, and so we can deduce how much water is in a soil by looking at the neutrons it emits.”

Malakhov went on to say, “We found a central part of Valles Marineris to be packed full of water – far more water than we expected. This is very much like Earth’s permafrost regions, where water ice permanently persists under dry soil because of the constant low temperatures.” “Overall, we think this water more likely exists in the form of ice.” Further analysis needs to be conducted in order to know for certain which form of water is present.
Their study was published in the journal Icaruswhere it can be read in full.
The original photo – can you find the crashed flying saucer?
“This image shows spectacular layers exposed on the bottom of Candor Chasma, a large canyon in the Valles Marineris system.”
That’s the official NASA description of the photo taken by the HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on December 29, 2006. (You can see many versions of it here, including one with an arrow pointing to the “saucer” location.)
Here is a cropped and compressed blow-up of the alleged anomaly.
Here is a cropped and compressed blow-up of the alleged anomaly.
Here is a cropped and compressed version of the entire image, with an arrow pointing to where the anomaly is, so you can find it easier.
NASA called it the “Swirls of Rock in Candor Chasma” because of the intricate swirls of sand- and dust-sized particles approximately 4 kilometers below the rim of one of the largest canyons on Mars. That was impressive enough for NASA, but Jean Ward is one of those people with time, interest and magnifying software, and when he started digitally digging into the swirls of Candor Chasma, he found something he believes resembles a crashed flying saucer.
“The anomaly looks like a disc-shaped object which hit the surface of Mars at a very low angle and left a trench behind it. The disc-shaped object measures approximately 12 to 15 metres in diameter.”
“Alternatives: Could this possibly be a ramp leading into an underground entrance or is this an incomplete Project Ice-Worm structure? Or are we seeing a strange arc-shaped dune?”
Ward is kind enough to link to the HiRiSE site and provides instructions on seeing the original photo. He also provides his speculations on what it might be. While the Internet obviously likes the crashed flying saucer explanation, he also suggests it could be a designed structure – a ramp or part of tunnel for moving around nuclear weapons – that’s what the U.S. Army’s Project Iceworm was in Greenland in the early 1960s during the height of the Cold War.
“As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.”
Swirls of Rock in Candor Chasma
(credit: NASA)
Or … it could be an unusual dune. As always, anomalies are in the eye of the beholder, and if the beholder is a pareidoliac – one who sees faces in tortillas or on the surface of Mars – then it’s easy to see a crashed flying saucer. Most of us have a touch of pareidolia and a bit of wishful thinking, which explains why this ‘flying saucer’ photo won’t go away soon. Ward doesn’t say how close the Candor Chasma is to the Perseverance rover and its Ingenuity helicopter, but that would be an excellent road trip for the little chopper that could … and is still flying. After all, the Chinese space program is sending its lunar rover to inspect what appears to be a hut on the Moon.
The betting money right now is on a natural anomaly, but the really long odds are on whether NASA takes up the challenge and gets “up close and personal” to it. You’re probably better off buying a lottery ticket.
A team of international astronomers have discovered four new giant exoplanets with very short orbital periods. The four planets, which have been named HATS-74Ab, HATS-75b, HATS-76b, and HATS-77b, are all about the same size as Jupiter.
The discoveries were made during the HATSouth photometric survey. HATSouth includes six astrograph telescope systems that are in South America, Africa, and Australia. Launched in 2009, the telescopes are trained to discover exoplanets that are orbiting bright stars that can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere and they have already found dozens of transiting exoplanets.
The four new giant planets were revealed with the HATSouth telescopes and were later confirmed by additional observations conducted by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) as well as several other facilities. The planets were found by transiting signals coming from four stars — HATS-74A, HATS-75, HATS-76, and HATS-77.
(Not any of the planets mentioned in this article.)
As for the newly discovered planets, HATS-74Ab is located about 934 light-years away from us and is approximately the same size as Jupiter but with 46% more of its mass. It is situated 0.024 Astronomical Units (AU) away from its host star (one AU is the distance that Earth is to our sun) with an orbital period of just 1.73 days. Its equilibrium temperature is 895 Kelvin (1,151 degrees Fahrenheit or 622 degrees Celsius). The 11-billion-year-old parent star has a radius around 0.57 of our sun and about 0.6 solar masses with a temperature of 3,777 Kelvin (6,339 degrees Fahrenheit or 3,504 degrees Celsius). Interestingly, it has a companion star that is approximately 80% less massive than our sun.
Located about 637 light-years away, HATS-75b is the smallest of the four exoplanets with a radius of about 0.88 of Jupiter and 0.49 of its mass. It is about 0.032 AU from its star and takes 2.79 days to complete a full orbit around it. It has an equilibrium temperature of 772.3 Kelvin (930 degrees Fahrenheit or 499 degrees Celsius). The 15-billion-year-old parent star has a radius of 0.58 of our sun and 0.6 of its mass with a temperature of 3,790 Kelvin (6,362 degrees Fahrenheit or 3,517 degrees Celsius).
The third planet is called HATS-76b and is located about 1,271 light-years away. It is approximately 2.63 times more massive than Jupiter and 1.08 of its radius. It is found 0.026 AU from its star with an orbital period of 1.94 days. It is the hottest planet of the four with an equilibrium temperature of 939.8 Kelvin (1,232 degrees Fahrenheit or 667 degrees Celsius). The 4.6-billion-year-old host star has 0.66 solar masses with 0.62 of its radius and a temperature of 4,016 Kelvin (6,769 degrees Fahrenheit or 3,743 degrees Celsius).
(Not any of the planets mentioned in this article.)
The fourth star named HATS-77b is located about 1,349 light-years away. It is around 16% bigger than Jupiter with a 37% greater mass. It travels around its host star at a distance of 0.036 AU and takes 3.09 days to complete a full orbit. Its temperature is 828.3 Kelvin (1,031 degrees Fahrenheit or 555 degrees Celsius). The 12.1-billion-year-old star is about 35% smaller and less massive than our sun with a temperature of 4,071 Kelvin (6,868 degrees Fahrenheit or 3,798 degrees Celsius).

James Webb ruimtetelescoop, de grootste ooit, wordt 24 december in de ruimte gelanceerd
De James Webb ruimtetelescoop of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) wordt volgende week vrijdag 24 december in de ruimte gelanceerd, vanuit de basis op Frans Guyana. De telescoop is gebouwd door NASA, het Europees Ruimte Agentschap (ESA) en het Canadese Ruimte Agentschap (CSA), en is de grootste telescoop ooit die de ruimte wordt ingestuurd.
"Het wordt een bijzonder uitzonderlijke missie", zegt onderzoeker Bart Vandenbussche van het Instituut voor Sterrenkunde (KU Leuven). "Vanuit de KU Leuven hebben we meer dan 15 jaar gewerkt aan één van de vier wetenschappelijke instrumenten die op de telescoop geïnstalleerd zijn. De lancering volgende week wordt een behoorlijk spannend moment.”
Ook de kostprijs van het project getuigt van de bijzonderheid ervan. Waar een gemiddeld project van ESA geraamd wordt op 600 miljoen euro, heeft dit maar liefst 13 miljard euro gekost. De telescoop heeft een spiegel van 6,5 meter, samengesteld uit 18 hexagonale segmenten. Die andere bekende en belangrijke telescoop, de Hubble-telescoop die begin jaren negentig in de ruimte is gelanceerd, heeft een spiegel van 'slechts' 2,4 meter.
De JWST gaat infrarood licht in de ruimte waarnemen met een gevoeligheid die 100 keer groter is dan de Hubble-telescoop. Daardoor wordt het mogelijk om 13,5 miljard jaar 'terug in de tijd' te kijken en de eerste sterrenstelsels na de oerknal te zien. Door het infrarood te observeren kan Webb sterren en planetenstelsels bekijken die zich in stofwolken vormen.
De lancering van de Webb-telescoop gebeurt vanop de Europese lanceerbasis in Frans Guyana, en met de Ariane 5-raket. "Een zeer betrouwbare raket", volgens Vandenbussche. De telescoop zal vervolgens in een baan komen te zweven, op anderhalf miljoen kilometer afstand van de aarde.
Vanaf zes maanden na de lancering zullen de eerste routinematige metingen kunnen gebeuren. Verwacht wordt dat de telescoop minstens vijf jaar operationeel zal zijn, de ambitie is om dat tien jaar te blijven.
Vrijdag 24 december omstreeks 13.20 uur Belgische tijd vindt de lancering plaats. De telescoop is vernoemd naar wijlen James Webb, de tweede directeur van het Amerikaanse ruimteagentschap NASA.

Would Mars be More Habitable if it Orbited a Red Dwarf?
Would Mars be More Habitable if it Orbited a Red Dwarf?
Thanks to the explosion in discoveries made in the last decade, the study of extrasolar planets have entered a new phase. With 4,884 confirmed discoveries in 3,659 systems (and another 7,958 candidates awaiting confirmation), scientists are shifting their focus from discovery to characterization. This means examining known exoplanets more closely to determine if they possess the necessary conditions for life, as well as “biomarkers” that could indicate the presence of life.
A key consideration is how the type of star may impact a planet’s chances of developing the right conditions for habitability. Consider red dwarf stars, the most common stellar class in the Universe and a great place to find “Earth-like,” rocky planets. According to a new study by an international team of scientists, a lifeless planet in our own backyard (Mars) might have evolved differently had it orbited a red dwarf instead of the Sun.
The research was conducted by an international, multi-disciplinary research team consisting of modelers, observational scientists and space physics, planetary science, and astrophysics theoreticians led by David Brain and fellow researchers from the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the CU Boulder. Brain is also the leader of the Magnetic fields, Atmosphere, and the Connection to Habitability (MACH) NASA DRIVE Science Center, a NASA integrated multi-agency initiative located at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Their findings were recently shared in a series of presentations at the 2021 American Geographical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, held this week in New Orleans. As they explained, by applying our current understanding of Mars to rocky exoplanets, scientists will be able to characterize and identify habitable, Earth-like planets in other solar systems. As their results showed, the answer hinges on an exoplanets’ atmospheres and what it takes for each planet to retain its atmosphere.
For the sake of their research, the team examined the case of “Exoplanet Mars,” a Mars-sized rocky planet orbiting an M-type red dwarf star. Consistent with the dimmer and cooler nature of red dwarfs, this star would be only 4% as bright as our Sun and have an effective temperature of 2770 K (2,500 °C; 4532 °F) – about 3000 K cooler than our Sun. It would also be more variable than our Sun, meaning that it would be prone to flare-ups, which would impact Exoplanet Mars’ atmosphere.
The challenge, according to Brain, was to assemble the necessary expertise, observations, and modeling to understand the relative importance of each property and how they contribute to habitability over time. Interestingly enough, language was not a barrier to this international team, but its multi-disciplinary nature presented some problems. Because of how scientific disciplines and methodology have diverged in recent decades, there was a “language barrier” of sorts.

As a result, the multi-disciplinary team needed to develop a more effective means of communication that bridged the disciplines and their particular methods. This, said Brain, is where the MACH Drive Service Center (DSC) played an especially-important role:
“Our center has brought together experts from many scientific disciplines to collaboratively address big-picture questions like the habitability of alien planets. Together we are figuring out which physics are important to include and how to link models together, while making sure team members feel heard and are inclusive in the process.
The preliminary results indicate that Exoplanet Mars would have lost its atmosphere at a greater rate than the real Mars if it were orbiting a red dwarf star. This is consistent with what astronomers have observed from nearby red dwarf systems, many of which emit flares that are powerful enough to strip Earth’s atmosphere. At the same time, recent research has shown that these flares may be emitted from the poles, thus sparing any planets.
Regardless, the true significance of this research is how it will help scientists characterize and identify habitable, Earth-like planets in other solar systems. As we move into the next phase of searching for habitable planets in the cosmos, knowing what stars and planetary systems are likely to provide the best results is essential.

Looks like the Cocos and Nazca plates may have undergone a movement. From what I understand Pacific plate is being loosened, and so then, would these two smaller plates. Proof of this is recent Oregon earthquake swarm. There are reports of flooding in Playa Del Carmen and Cancun, Mexico areas 10 days ago. Is the water sloshing, or is it disappearing under the surface? Perhaps both!

Into the Eye of the Storm: NASA's Parker probe flying through the Sun’s Corona
Into the Eye of the Storm: NASA's Parker probe flying through the Sun’s Corona
Parker Solar Probe launched in 2018 to explore the mysteries of the Sun by traveling closer to it than any spacecraft before. Three years after launch and decades after first conception, Parker has finally arrived.
For the first time in history, a spacecraft has touched the Sun. NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere – the corona – and sampled particles and magnetic fields there.
As Parker Solar Probe passed through the Sun's corona, the spacecraft flew by structures called coronal streamers. These structures can be seen as bright features moving upward and downward in the first video compiled from the spacecraft's WISPR (Wide-field Imager for Parker Solar Probe) instrument.
Such a view is only possible because the spacecraft flew above and below the streamers inside the corona. Until now, streamers have only been seen from afar. They are visible from Earth during total solar eclipses.
A look inside people’s brains who say they’ve had a UFO encounter
A look inside people’s brains who say they’ve had a UFO encounter
Stanford Professor Garry Nolanhas been testing the brains of people who say they’ve experienced a UFO encounter as well as he analysis anomalous materials from UFO crashes.
Did the people who claimed that they'd had an encounter, especially the pilots, describe any perceivable decrease in neurological capacity?
Of the 100 or so patients that we looked at, about a quarter of them died from their injuries. The majority of these patients had symptomology that's basically identical to what's now called Havana syndrome.
But Dr. Nolan has also spent the past decade analyzing anomalous materials From UFO crashes
One of the materials from the so called Ubatuba event, a UFO event in Brazil, has extraordinarily altered isotope ratios of magnesium.
What that means is that if you find a metal where the isotope ratios are changed far beyond what is normally found in nature, then that material has likely been engineered, the material is downstream of a process that caused them to be altered. Someone did it. The questions are who… and why?
Speaking to Vice’s Motherboard, Nolan opened up about his work and revealed what sparked his interest in UAP. Learn more at: Vice Motherboard

Mystery of the massive explosion 200 million light years away: Strange flash 100 times brighter than a supernova that is growing at an incredible rate baffles scientists
The blast appeared in a distant galaxy but scientists are unsure what triggered it
They theorise the flash is a 9,000°C (16,000°F) cloud of high-energy particles

One researcher said 'there hasn't really been another object like this'
A massive explosion spotted 200 million light years from Earth has baffled astronomers.
The strange spot, nicknamed 'the cow', is up to 100 times brighter than a supernova and is growing at an incredible rate.
Scientists say the flash is a 9,000°C (16,000°F) cloud of high-energy particles bursting outwards at 12,000 miles (20,000km) per second, but are still unsure what triggered the brilliant blast.
One researcher said 'there hasn't really been another object like this.'

A massive explosion spotted 200 light years from Earth has baffled astronomers. The strange spot, nicknamed the cow, is 100 times brighter than a supernova and is growing at an incredible rate, but scientists have no idea what triggered it

The explosion was captured on by the asteroid-tracking ATLAS telescopes at the Keck Observatory, which sits atop Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano in Hawaii.
Astronomers noted the flash was unusually luminous - between 10 and 100 times brighter than the average supernova - but it was the speed of its appearance that really caught the eye of space experts.
Most celestial explosions take weeks to reach peak brightness, but the distant flash had grown to a dramatic size in just two days.
'It really just appeared out of nowhere,' Dr Kate Maguire, an astronomer at Queen's University Belfast who is part of the ATLAS team, told New Scientist.
'There are other objects that have been discovered that are as fast, but the fastness and the brightness, that's quite unusual.
'There hasn't really been another object like this.'

Following the initial observation, scientists reported the flash to the star-gazing website Astronomer's Telegram, sparking a worldwide investigation into the spot.
It was nicknamed the cow after the site automatically categorised it as AT2018cow based on when it was added to the database.
Teams from around the world trained at least 18 telescopes on the flash in a response that constituted the largest number of reports for any single object on Astronomer's Telegram, according to the site's Editor-in-Chief.
The explosion was so bright it initially appeared to originate from our own galaxy, but observations by a group of Chinese scientists showed the spot was almost 200 million light years away - meaning it likely appeared in another nebula.
SUPERNOVAE OCCUR WHEN A GIANT STAR EXPLODES
A supernova occurs when a star explodes, shooting debris and particles into space.
A supernova burns for only a short period of time, but it can tell scientists a lot about how the universe began.
One kind of supernova has shown scientists that we live in an expanding universe, one that is growing at an ever increasing rate.
Scientists have also determined that supernovas play a key role in distributing elements throughout the universe.
In 1987, astronomers spotted a ‘titanic supernova’ in a nearby galaxy blazing with the power of over 100 million suns
(pictured)
There are two known types of supernova.
The first type occurs in binary star systems when one of the two stars, a carbon-oxygen white dwarf, steals matter from its companion star.
Eventually, the white dwarf accumulates too much matter, causing the star to explode, resulting in a supernova.
The second type of supernova occurs at the end of a single star's lifetime.
As the star runs out of nuclear fuel, some of its mass flows into its core.
Eventually, the core is so heavy it can't stand its own gravitational force and the core collapses, resulting in another giant explosion.
Many elements found on Earth are made in the core of stars and these elements travel on to form new stars, planets and everything else in the universe.
Readings from other groups suggested the flash was an explosion of high-energy particles travelling outwards at 12,000 miles (20,000km) per second.
The surface temperature of this cloud could be as high as 9,000°C (16,000°F), according to the observations.
The results left scientists baffled as to the origins of the strange explosion, with some suggesting it could be a special type of supernova called a type 1c.
'We're not sure yet what it is, but the normal powering mechanism for a supernova is radioactive decay of nickel, and this event is too bright and too fast for that,' Dr Maguire said.
Follow-up observations are ongoing and scientists said they should know more about the object over the next day or two.
Scientists believe they may know what caused a strange bright blue flash from space nicknamed “the Cow” — a mystery that has baffled astronomers since its discovery in 2018, when it was described by NASA as being “unlike any celestial outburst ever seen before.”

KEY FACTS
According to a paper published in Nature Astronomy on Monday, the burst was likely caused by a dying star that, as it was collapsing, gave birth to a black hole or a new star, known as a neutron star.
The burst came from the spiral arm of a galaxy 200 million light years away, and got the nickname “the Cow” because its official name — AT2018cow — happened to include the letters that spelled “cow.”
As the old star died, the new phenomenon consumed the material from the old star in a process that produced a huge burst of energy, according to researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who made the discovery, with partial funding from NASA.
Lead author Dheeraj “DJ” Pasham of MIT said the new evidence “opens possibilities” for finding “baby” black holes or neutron stars.
The phenomenon, which was first detected in June 2018, produced light 100 times brighter than that of a typical supernova, which scientists described as an instance of a fast blue optical transient burst, or FBOT, “a bright, short-lived event of unknown origin.”
An explanation for the FBOT proved elusive until Pasham and his team focused on the X-rays emitted by the flash and found the Cow was producing a pulse of X-rays every 4.4 milliseconds.
They used that number to calculate the size of the object as being roughly 1,000 kilometers wide, according to MIT.
Something so compact, with a mass of less than 800 suns, had to be either a neutron star or a small black hole.
KEY BACKGROUND
The Cow perplexed scientists upon its discovery. One astronomer summed it up simply: “It’s super weird.” Suggested explanations included that it was a white dwarf (the burnt-out leftovers of a star) consuming another star, or a black hole ripping apart a star. Some astronomers dubbed 2018 the “Year of the Cow” because of the widespread fascination.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Pasham says the next step is narrowing down the two possibilities to determine whether the Cow is a neutron star or black hole — a process “that is actually planned” but is “just computationally extremely expensive.”
Having discussed the matter of the Bigfoot-UFO issue – and of the Loch Ness-UFO angle, too – I thought it would be a good idea to share with you the data that suggests a UFO connection to another monster:the creepy Dog-Man. Yes, really! Before I get to the strange link, however, here’s some background on the matter the beast. Certainly, wolf-like, upright creatures have been described for centuries. I am , of course, talking about werewolves. However, the relatively recent phenomenon of the Dog-Man takes things to another, much more intriguing, angle. Linda Godfrey is the key figure in this controversy and she has written a number of books on the phenomenon. But, there’s more than that. There’s one particular Dog-Man-themed story that needs to be aired, as it has an alien angle to it. Believe it or not. While there are numerous theories for what the Dogmen are (demonic entities, shape-shifters, a rare/unique kind of wolf; the list goes on) the strangest of all the theories is that which suggests the creatures are extraterrestrials. Yes, you did read that right. In 2005, Linda Godfrey was contacted by a man – a military whistle-blower, we might say – who was an expert in the field of remote-viewing. According to Godfrey’s Edward Snowden-like source, the U.S. Government has uncovered data suggesting that the Dogmen are a very ancient, extraterrestrial race that closely resembles the ancient deity of the Underworld. And who might that be? It’s Anubis, that’s who. Linday’s informant also discovered – via remote-viewing – that the Dogmen can “jump” from location to location via portals or doorways in the fabric of space and time. That’s quite a story told to Godfrey: Dogmen from the stars that have a connection to Anubis. The story isn’t finished, though.

Linda Godfrey with Nick Redfern
On March 24, 2017, “The Emoluments of Mars” blog ran an article that said: “Mike Bara, the world-renowned geneticist and physiologist, was invited once again to blather for three hours on Jimmy Church’s podcast Fade to Black this week. 90% of it was discussion of a series of images of odd-looking artifacts on Mars. There was the pistol, the sarcophagus, the fossilized dinosaur, and my personal favorite the 20ft high cat playing air guitar.” In my book, The Martians, I wrote of this: “An upright cat, standing precariously on a huge hill, on none other than Mars? That is what one particular and peculiar photograph, secured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, seems to show. The word ‘seems’ is the most important one in all of this. The picture shows what looks like a thin, humanoid-type figure – and that is so skinny it appears to resemble a classic, cartoon-like stick-man. We can see two arms (one of them raised), two legs, possibly two feet, and a head. Admittedly, the head is cat-like, and it has a pair of eyes and pointed ears. And, the “creature” appears to be standing in front of what looks like a shadowy entrance to a cave.” I have to say that Bizarre” is the word. Or, beyond bizarre.

Anubis from Mars?
I showed the picture to a well-known figure in the ““ancient aliens” world who, on seeing it, practically foamed at the mouth. I’ll avoid mentioning his name, as he has since moved on and relegated it to the “pareidolia basket.” Before doing so, however, he spent a couple of weeks working on a paper titled “Anubis on Mars?” The reason: the person in question felt that the “upright cat” looked far more like none other than Anubis. And who, precisely, was Anubis? Let us take a look: “Anubis is the Egyptian name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology,” Crystalinks state. “Anubis was the god to protect the dead and bring them to the afterlife. He was usually portrayed as a half human, half jackal, or in full jackal form wearing a ribbon and holding a flail in the crook of its arm.” I’ve had people tell me that the Dog-Men and Anubis might have a connection. I have no evidence, at all, to support such a controversial thing. But, it’s worth keeping things in mind when it comes to the words of Linda Godfrey’s “Deep Throat”/whistleblower.
Recent analysis of lunar rock samples that were brought back from the Apollo 17 mission have revealed even more information regarding our moon’s evolution, specifically how long it took for it to completely cool down after forming.
Scientists studied a rock called “troctolite 76535” and what they found has changed previous theories regarding the evolution of the moon. It was previously believed that after the moon formed, it took approximately 100 million years to completely cool down. However, new studies have dramatically lessened that time frame to around 20 million years.
The experts chose the troctolite 76535 sample because it wouldn’t have been altered much while on the moon as explained by William Nelson who is a researcher at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, “It has not been strongly modified by impacts during its time on the moon’s surface.” “Such pristinity is rare for lunar rocks.”

While measuring how much phosphorus was in the rock, the researchers also discovered other chemical variation patterns in the mineral grains, such as plagioclase and olivine. “This was unexpected, as previous studies had reported both of these minerals to lack any chemical variation,” Nelson told Space.com, adding that the variations found in the grains “could not have survived for as long as previously thought.”
In regards to the 20-million-year cooling period rather than the previous estimate of 100 million years, Nelson noted that “If the sample had cooled as slowly as previously suggested, then it should have no variations in P [phosphorus] content and that the variations would have been “ironed out” a very long time ago.
Even though it’s been nearly 50 years since the sample was collected, it is still revealing fascination information regarding the history of our moon, especially with help from new technology. “I believe quite a bit can still be learned from the Apollo sample collection,” Nelson said. “First and foremost, as demonstrated by this study, analytical techniques are always improving.” “Signals that were previously hidden because they were subtle can now be detected and leveraged in new ways.”

It’s incredible to think that this new study has changed the timeline of about 80 million years in regards to how long it took the moon to cool down and solidify. And with more lunar missions, additional samples will be brought back to Earth to be analyzed. We will surely find out even more fascinating information regarding our lunar companion. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications where it can be read in full.

The water, which is hidden beneath Mars’ surface, was found by the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO)’s FREND instrument, which is mapping the hydrogen – a measure of water content – in the uppermost metre of Mars’ soil.
While water is known to exist on Mars, most is found in the planet’s cold polar regions as ice. Water ice is not found exposed at the surface near the equator, as temperatures here are not cold enough for exposed water ice to be stable.
Missions including ESA’s Mars Express have hunted for near-surface water – as ice covering dust grains in the soil, or locked up in minerals – at lower latitudes of Mars, and found small amounts. However, such studies have only explored the very surface of the planet; deeper water stores could exist, covered by dust.
“With TGO we can look down to one metre below this dusty layer and see what’s really going on below Mars’ surface – and, crucially, locate water-rich ‘oases’ that couldn’t be detected with previous instruments,” says Igor Mitrofanov of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia; lead author of the new study; and principal investigator of the FREND (Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector) neutron telescope.
“FREND revealed an area with an unusually large amount of hydrogen in the colossal Valles Marineris canyon system: assuming the hydrogen we see is bound into water molecules, as much as 40% of the near-surface material in this region appears to be water.”
The water-rich area is about the size of the Netherlands and overlaps with the deep valleys of Candor Chaos, part of the canyon system considered promising in our hunt for water on Mars.
Tracking neutrons
Igor and colleagues analysed FREND observations ranging from May 2018 to February 2021, which mapped the hydrogen content of Mars’ soil by detecting neutrons rather than light.
“Neutrons are produced when highly energetic particles known as ‘galactic cosmic rays’ strike Mars; drier soils emit more neutrons than wetter ones, and so we can deduce how much water is in a soil by looking at the neutrons it emits,” adds co-author Alexey Malakhov, also of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. “FREND’s unique observing technique brings far higher spatial resolution than previous measurements of this type, enabling us to now see water features that weren’t spotted before.
“We found a central part of Valles Marineris to be packed full of water – far more water than we expected. This is very much like Earth’s permafrost regions, where water ice permanently persists under dry soil because of the constant low temperatures.”
This water could be in the form of ice, or water that is chemically bound to other minerals in the soil. However, other observations tell us that minerals seen in this part of Mars typically contain only a few percent water, much less than is evidenced by these new observations. “Overall, we think this water more likely exists in the form of ice,” says Alexey.
Water ice usually evaporates in this region of Mars due to the temperature and pressure conditions near the equator. The same applies to chemically bound water: the right combination of temperature, pressure and hydration must be there to keep minerals from losing water. This suggests that some special, as-yet-unclear mix of conditions must be present in Valles Marineris to preserve the water – or that it is somehow being replenished.
“This finding is an amazing first step, but we need more observations to know for sure what form of water we’re dealing with,” adds study co-author Håkan Svedhem of ESA’s ESTEC in the Netherlands, and former ESA project scientist for the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter.
“Regardless of the outcome, the finding demonstrates the unrivalled abilities of TGO’s instruments in enabling us to ‘see’ below Mars’ surface – and reveals a large, not-too-deep, easily exploitable reservoir of water in this region of Mars.”
Future exploration
As most future missions to Mars plan to land at lower latitudes, locating such a reservoir of water here is an exciting prospect for future exploration.
The finding also makes Valles Marineris an even more promising target for future human exploration missions to the planet. The largest canyon in the Solar System, Valles Marineris is arguably Mars’ most dramatic landscape, and a feature that is often compared to Earth’s Grand Canyon – despite being some ten times longer and five times deeper.
“This result really demonstrates the success of the joint ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars programme,” says Colin Wilson, ESA's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter project scientist.
“Knowing more about how and where water exists on present-day Mars is essential to understand what happened to Mars’ once-abundant water, and helps our search for habitable environments, possible signs of past life, and organic materials from Mars’ earliest days.”
Ruimtesonde ontdekt ondergronds watergebied "zo groot als Nederland" in 'Grand Canyon' van Mars
“We hebben ontdekt dat een centraal deel van ‘Valles Marineris’ vol water zit - veel meer water dan we hadden verwacht.” Dat zegt de mede-auteur van een studie over de ontdekking van een ondergronds watergebied in het enorme kloofsysteem op de Rode Planeet, ook wel de ‘Grand Canyon van Mars’ genoemd. Nóg op de planeet kwam Marsverkenner Perseverance erachter dat de stalen van de bodem van de Jezerokrater, die ooit een meer was, bestaat uit vulkanisch en niet uit sedimentair gesteente.
Mars heeft zijn eigen Grand Canyon, een uitgestrekte kloof van 4.000 kilometer - de grootste van ons zonnestelsel - die de naam ‘Valles Marineris’ of ‘Valleien van Mariner’ kreeg, naar de Amerikaanse ruimtesonde Mariner 9, die de ontdekking in 1971 deed. Onder de bodem van die Grand Canyon heeft de Trace Gas Orbiter, een ruimtesonde van het Europees-Russische project ExoMars, nu water gedetecteerd. De missie van ExoMars, in 2016 opgezet door de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA en de Russische tegenhanger Roskosmos, wil nagaan of er ooit leven was op Mars en vliegt daarvoor in een baan rond de Rode Planeet op 400 kilometer boven de oppervlakte ervan.
Het was al bekend dat er water op Mars is gevonden, meestal in de vorm van ijs. Maar zo’n enorm ondergronds gebied met water - “zo groot als Nederland” - in het centrale deel van de Grand Canyon van Mars, dat is toch een verrassing. Het was FREND, de neutronentelescoop van de Trace Gas Orbiter die waterstof in de bovenste meters van de bodem kan detecteren, die het water spotte. De ExoMars Orbiter tweette zelf dat het over “ijs of waterrijke mineralen” gaat.
“Het lijkt erg op de permafrostgebieden op aarde, waar waterijs door de constante lage temperaturen permanent onder de droge grond blijft zitten”, legt Alexey Malakhov van het Russische ruimteonderzoeksinstituut uit. Maar in dat bewuste gebied van Mars zou het waterijs door de druk en de temperatuur in de buurt van de evenaar normaal verdampen. Wetenschappers vermoeden daarom dat er in de ‘Valles Marineris’ een bijzondere combinatie van omstandigheden aanwezig is, waardoor het water daar niet verdampt. Meer onderzoek is nodig om te bepalen over welke vorm van water het precies gaat.
‘Valles Marineris’ is de grootste canyon in ons zonnestelsel, tien keer langer en vijf keer dieper dan de Grand Canyon in de VS, waarmee de indrukwekkende kloof op Mars vaak vergeleken wordt. De nieuwe ontdekking maakt deze plek ongetwijfeld tot een trekpleister voor toekomstige verkenningsmissies.
Vulkanisch gesteente
Nog op de Rode Planeet heeft ook Perseverance een verrassende ontdekking gedaan, meer bepaald in de Jezerokrater, waar de Marsverkenner tien maanden geleden landde. Enkele stalen van het bodemgesteente waar de rover al die tijd over bolt, is waarschijnlijk niet sedimentair maar vulkanisch. Dat doet vermoeden dat er ooit lava stroomde in de krater, die vroeger een meer was.
Dit is “compleet onverwacht”, volgens de wetenschappers, omdat de foto’s van Perseverance van het gelaagde gesteente tot nu toe sedimentair leken. De vorige stalen bleken meermaals in aanraking te zijn gekomen met water en sommige bevatten ook organische moleculen. Jarenlang al vragen wetenschappers zich af of het gesteente in de Jezerokrater sedimentgesteente is, dat bestaat uit lagen materiaal die door een oude rivier zijn afgezet, of stollingsgesteente, dat ontstaat wanneer lavastromen afkoelen. De monsters die Perseverance opdiept, zullen door andere missies naar de aarde gebracht worden voor verder onderzoek, om zo onder meer hun ouderdom te bepalen.
De ontdekking kan wetenschappers helpen een nauwkeurige tijdlijn op te stellen van wat er zich in de Jezerokrater heeft afgespeeld en verder bijdragen tot een beter inzicht in heel de planeet Mars.
I was looking over a map of Ceres, not a dwarf at all as some confused and inept scientists believe. This planet has signs of advanced technology on its surface in its northern polar region. The object I found is a landed spacecraft. Its distinct white color makes it stand out from its grey and black surroundings. The spacecraft is huge, about 20km long from nose to tail. That would be capable of holding a small city within it. Now technology like that normally would not just be laying around, except aliens often dump old ships on the moons and planets nearby so that they can reuse or recycle old parts of the craft for later. I have found spaceships on earth moon, Mars, and even under earths oceans. Now why doesn't' the US gov tell the public? Because, do you think the gov wants competition at getting to this and other abandoned alien ships and cities? No, they don't. Sometimes not telling others, leaves all the spoils for you.
First off, when you click the URL above it takes you to the online Google Mars map, but you will need to hit the button in the upper left corner that says infrared.
I found a pond in the center of a crater on Mars using google earth map. The pond clearly looks like a liquid and and is even on all sides of it. Its not a tunnel or a cave, but an area covered in a liquid. It could be water, but may be some there liquid entirely. I know its not a tunnel entrance because if I hit the button in the upper left that says Elevation, you can see that its depth is small, oval and similar to that of a pond. I just wanted to share this with you. Water on Mars, we all know it exists, but if this is water, its a lot. Over 3km across!

During the Apollo missions, many photos were taken by the crews including rare images of strange bright and glowing objects above, on or near the moon.
The video below shows some rare images of these bright objects captured during the Apollo 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 missions.
Apollo 13 was to be the third mission to land on the Moon. An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks crippled the spacecraft during flight and the crew were forced to orbit the Moon and return to the Earth without landing. During the orbit of the moon, the crew captured strange objects above and on the moon.
Now, there seems to be a ”Moon Industry” to have held for at least the past fifty years in the crater Plato as moving and flashing lights have been observed at the bottom of the crater.
For over hundred years the British Royal Astronomical Society has reported 1600 similar sightings of bright lights in the crater Aristarchus, lights at the eastern foot of the lunar Alps, in Mare Crisium a series of spots and streaks of light, and long light lines were seen from the crater Eudoxus.
These bright lights seem to be driven by electromagnetic energy. This energy will offer unlimited opportunities to build huge objects and to move and live in almost any environment.
These electromagnetic spaceships emit a pulsing glow under different conditions as the density of the atmosphere, humidity, velocity and the height of the spacecraft.
There can be no doubt, that many of these lights, especially the glowing moving objects, 'electromagnetic spaceships' are intelligently controlled.
The Rendlesham UFO Incident is the biggest UFO incident in the UK that happened in the days before Christmas back in year 1980. There are audio recordings of the airforce talking about these UFO sightings.
Few alleged UFO abduction cases have received as much attention as the one which occurred in a small Argentine town less than a month ago. Even fewer have received as much GOVERNMENT attention as the case of Irma Rick of Jacinto Araúz in La Pampa, Argentina. Rick mysteriously disappeared after hearing a loud noise and seeing a bright light. She was found 24 hours later, 40 miles away, not remembering anything else but still in possession of her cellphone. If she was abducted by a UFO, that cellphone could be the first known to have been on an extraterrestrial spaceship. Wouldn’t ANY government be interested in getting its hands on that?
Who could that be?
“The 3rd Judicial District of General Acha (La Pampa) has intervened as the competent body in this case. Dr. Juan Bautista Méndez took over the case in the court of first instance, but within a few days, investigative continuity fell to Dr. María Virginia Antón, deputy prosecutor, who was elevated to the position in June 2021.”
The go-to guy on the alien abduction case of Irma Rick is Luis Burgos, a well-known South American UFO investigator. After his initial investigation, he focused on the cellphone, which would be evidence in any missing person case. Burgos was able to interview Dr. Antón, who gave him some interesting and some disappointing answers. (See more on his website.)
The investigation aims at dismissing all “suspicious” that the event might have had: Spousal abuse, kidnapping, extortion, injury, etc.
Irma Rick’s smartphone is in the hands of judiciary at Dr. Antón’s request.
At first, a story circulated about Irma Rick’s spouse’s smartphone having also been taken. Dr. Antón denied this.
A medical report has been attached to the cause of action.
In principle, a report by an interdisciplinary team that visited the protagonist is yet to be attached.
The expert report on the infamous smartphone should be ready by February/March, as this matter takes time and Judicial Recess begins in January.
The results of the expert investigation will not be made public.
Antón’s department has Rick’s phone, appears to be treating it first as a criminal case, but will keep all results private. Luis Burgos doesn’t seem pleased with these answers. He notes on his website that the La Pampa area is a well-known UFO hotspot and the Irma Rick case is just the latest in a long string of unusual UFO-related occurrences there. He’s also worried that it will be ignored like so many other La Pampa incidents in the past.
“And it makes us wonder…if the Irma Rick case falls apart, collapses, or otherwise becomes uncertain, does it change Pampean case histories to any extent?”
Does no one care or are they hiding something?
Burgos hopes instead that the government will take its time and “the Irma Rick Case will serve to set a precedent in the subject of abductions and witnesses with smartphones.”
Will it? Let’s hope Luis Burgos keeps up the great work and keeps us informed.
The UFO phenomenon often seems to happen in waves. Every once in a while a particular place will seem to draw these strange anomalies to it, On occasion, some of these spates of UFO sightings will take a sharp turn into the truly bizarre, and one of these was a case from Canada that ended with a piece of physical evidence in the form of a copper disk apparently left behind by aliens and which has never been deciphered.
In 1967, the city of Edmonton, of the Canadian province of Alberta, would experience a series of very strange events. It seems to have begun in the early morning hours of May 8, 1967, when a 14-year-old boy by the name of Ricky Banyard saw “a spaceship” in the sky as he walked through the Mount Pleasant Cemetery on his way home at around 2 a.m. It was described as being spherical in shape, with red and green lights and top and bottom parts that were spinning. From the bottom of the craft emanated a beam of bright white light that seemed to be scouting the ground like a searchlight. The boy went to get his friend, Glenn Coates, and they both watched as it made its way towards some trees in the cemetery. They decided to get some binoculars and hide behind a tree nearby, where they were able to get a close look at the object, and Banyard would explain of what they saw:
It was 200 to 300 feet in the air and made a muffled whistling noise as it hovered. A white ribbon of light came from the bottom of it and spread out in a rectangular shape about 15 centimeters above the ground. The ground was white, as though white hot under it. When I stepped out from the trees for a better look, the light disappeared then there was kind of a screaming noise like a jet starting up. All the lights in the ship went out and there were about seven or eight bangs and it took off.

When they inspected the area where the light had hit the ground, they found some rectangular-shaped black streaks on the gravel road that wound through the cemetery. Banyard would make a sketch of the UFO, and when word got out he saw there were droves of curiosity coming to the cemetery every night hoping to get a glimpse of the mysterious object. Two days after Banyard’s experience, a middle-aged couple living nearby also saw what they described as a spherical craft with red and blue flashing lights on its edges and a beam shooting down from beneath it. Ten days after that, a 29-year-old school janitor by the name of Jack Strangman saw a “whitish, oval-shaped” object lurking over the cemetery, and at around the same time a “really bright, egg-shaped” craft with two pulsing red lights at each end was seen streaking away from the cemetery and into the night by a witness named Norman Fibke. This series of sightings stirred up a lot of media coverage and talk at the time, and strange lights would be seen in the skies of Edmonton throughout the summer, but it would not be until November of that year where the strangest case of all would emerge.
On November 4th, 1967, an Italian immigrant in the area known only as “L.R.” walked back to his home after dinner with friends at around 11:30 p.m. and then sat in his room having a cigarette and relaxing, when he looked out through the window and noticed an extremely bright red light streaking through the sky over the Saskatchewan River near the Riverside Municipal Golf Course. He watched as it took a trajectory towards the ground and then stopped to hover in the sky. Although he had at first thought it was a plane, he could now see that it was not, and his curiosity caused him to go to the window for a closer look. He could see that the object was round in shape, and had a very bright red, pulsating light, almost blinding in its intensity.
As he watched the strange object hover, it’s fierce red light suddenly blinked out, and it was as if the whole craft had vanished, and shortly after this, an ethereal blue ring appeared in the air, which then descended towards the ground to seemingly evaporate. Soon after, another blue ring did the same, then another, and after this the red light blazed on once again and a smaller light ejected from the bottom of the craft to go flying towards the ground. This smaller object seemed to be a silver sphere with a slight violet light, and as the larger craft remained stationary it flew around over the golf course, creating a buzzing noise as it did so, finally landing on the ground to seemingly vanish. A few minutes the light went on again and this smaller object flew up towards the larger one to disappear within it. After this, the larger object became brighter, its red light pulsating furiously, before the craft shot off into the distance.
The next day, L.R. went out to take a look at the area where he had seen the strange light show the night before. He made his way out over the golf course and after some time of looking around discovered where he surmised the smaller craft had landed. It was a circular patch of flattened grass about 16 feet wide, and off to the side were some anomalous holes in the ground. As he surveyed the area some more, something glinting in the grass nearby caught his eye, and when he went to see what it was he found lying there a plate made of what looked like copper, measuring approximately 17.3 cm (6.8 inches) wide by 12.5 cm (4.9 inches) high. Upon its surface were what appeared to be some sort of hieroglyphic-like drawings and symbols, their meaning inscrutable. Mesmerized by what he was seeing, L.R. picked up the plate to find that it was extraordinarily thin, only about 1 mm (0.04 inches) thick, and after studying the strange pictographs on its surface he took it home with him. At this time, he was convinced that this plate had come from one of the crafts he had seen, so he was very careful not to damage it as he had the impression that it was quite fragile.

Back at his home, L.R. wondered what he should do next and whether he should show the mysterious plate to someone, but in the end he decided that no one would believe him and so he held onto it and kept it a secret for years. When he went back to Italy six years later, he brought the strange artifact along with him, and somehow word got out about it in an Italian magazine on unsolved mysteries called Il Giornale dei Misteri. This captured the attention of UFO researcher Daniela Giordano, who talked personally with L.R. and has said of their correspondence:
At that time I was living in Rome and after some telephone calls to the magazine I obtained the telephone numbers of L.R. who was living in Southern Italy, near Naples. Thus, I got in telephone contact with him. He confirmed the story and told me he was not interested in analyzing the plate, in spite of my insistence. It was just like a lucky mascot for him, stored in his strongbox, and all this interest about his story was starting to disturb him. Moreover, he didn’t have much interest in UFOs and related matters. So, after this conversation, I proposed to send a friend of mine, living closer to his town, with the task of taking a photo of this strange plate, nothing more. He agreed, and I sent my friend to see him. Since this I have had no further contact with him, but I have been working in my free time to try to understand this puzzling plate. As far as I know, no other researchers have ever studied or done research on this strange object.
The photo that Giordano managed to get of the plate is the only known photographic evidence of the mysterious object. Giordano would manage to track L.R. down again years later, and hear that he had lost the plate when the police had stopped him one day on his way to work and confiscated his car and the bag he always carried it around in after his vehicle had been hit by a mysterious gunshot. A week later he got his car back, but not the plate, and he would never see it again. Where it went is anyone’s guess, and this means the only sign that it ever existed at all are the testimonies of L.R. and Giordano and the photograph. You can see the photograph here. It is all a truly bizarre case tied in with other sightings from the same area, and we are left to wonder just what was going on here. Was this something dropped or intentionally left behind? Was it just a hoax? If it was real, then where did it go and what did it say? We will probably never know.
Hundreds of dinosaur footprints have been discovered in a clay mine close to the village of Borkowice, Poland. It is such a significant find that experts have called it the most spectacular discovery ever made in Poland, as well as the largest find in all of Europe and possibly even the world.
The dinosaur tracks date back approximately 199 million years during the early part of the Jurassic Period that is known as the Hettangian Age (this was between 201.3 and 199.3 million years ago). They were found by Professor Grzegorz Pieńkowski from the National Geological Institute in Warsaw, as well as geologist and paleontologist Dr. Grzegorz Niedźwiedzki from Uppsala University.
(Not any of the footprints mentioned in this article.)
The tracks were so remarkably preserved that Dr. Niedźwiedzki explained them as looking like “…the dinosaurs were walking there yesterday,” adding, “This will make the site the largest collection of its type in Europe.” In fact, they were so well preserved that they have been compared to the best quality ones that were previously found in North America, Greenland, South Africa, and China.
The footprints were found in rocks with approximately 60 big blocks containing hundreds of tracks that have been recovered thus far. The researchers are planning on excavating over 200 additional blocks of rocks in the coming months and there could be as many as thousands more footprints that have yet to be found.
The prints were made by carnivorous and avian dinosaurs. Some of the tracks were made by sauropodomorphs (this group includes the Brontosaurus). The biggest footprints measured 40 centimeters in length (15.7 inches) which means that the dinosaurs that left them would have measured as tall as 6 meters (19.7 feet). What’s even more remarkable is that the claws and skin were imprinted in the rocks.
Another interesting fact is that even though hundreds of footprints were found, actual dinosaur bones are quite rare in Poland. The reason why not many dinosaur fossils have been found is because a lot of the country was under water millions of years ago and the fossil site near Borkowice was a coastal area.
This is certainly a very important and exceptional find as Professor Pieńkowski stated, “I have never seen such a treasure trove before.” Pictures of some of the footprints can be viewedhere.
It is believed that an asteroid smashed into the Earth some 66 million years ago, landing near the the Yucatan Peninsula in modern-day Mexico, and wiping out the dinosaurs and other countless species in the process. It was certainly a Great Reset for its time. But could it happened again, and if so, what would that mean for the human race?
When the “Chicxulub” asteroid struck the Earth back then, it triggered the equivalent of 100 nuclear winters, and is said to have wiped out roughly 75% of all species on the planet. If the same thing happened to day, it would, at the very least, go a long way towards wiping out the human race.
Surprisingly, some leading technocrats and radical environmentalists are in favour of an full-on Armageddon outcome…
Bioethicists Okay Human Extinction to Eliminate Suffering
These days, anti-humanism is as thick as molasses among the intelligentsia. That includes an ongoing conversation in bioethics whether — all things considered — human extinction would be a fine thing because of the suffering that never coming into existence would avoid.
Example: A few months ago, Oxford professor Roger Crisp opined that we might not want to stop a huge asteroid from hitting the Earth. From “Would extinction be so bad?”:
Consider the huge amount of suffering that continuing existence will bring with it, not only for humans, and perhaps even for “post-humans”, but also for sentient non-humans, who vastly outnumber us and almost certainly would continue to do so. As far as humans alone are concerned, Hilary Greaves and Will MacAskill at the University of Oxford’s Global Priorities Institute estimate that there could be one quadrillion (1015) people to come – an estimate they describe as conservative.
These numbers, and the scale of suffering to be put into the balance alongside the good elements in individuals’ lives, are difficult to fathom and so large that it’s not obvious that you should deflect the asteroid. In fact, there seem to be some reasons to think you shouldn’t….
Perhaps one reason we think extinction would be so bad is that we have failed to recognise just how awful extreme agony is. Nevertheless, we have enough evidence, and imaginative capacity, to say that it is not unreasonable to see the pain of an hour of torture as something that can never be counterbalanced by any amount of positive value. And if this view is correct, then it suggests that the best outcome would be the immediate extinction that follows from allowing an asteroid to hit our planet.
Crisp equivocates a bit at the end, writing, “I am not claiming that extinction would be good; only that, since it might be, we should devote a lot more attention to thinking about the value of extinction than we have to date.” Good grief. Is the issue really debatable?
Not to be outdone, writing in response to Crisp in the Journal of Medical Ethics Blog, University of Calgary professor Walter Glannon shrugs his big brain at the prospect of us being gone. From “A world without us”:
We cannot predict the sort of lives future people would have because we do not know the sort of world they would inhabit. But the circumstances described above make it difficult to be optimistic. Regardless of the hypothetical value or disvalue of these lives, possible people are not deprived of anything if they do not come into existence.
We have an obligation to collectively act to prevent or reduce the suffering that present and future humans will actually experience. This depends on controlling natural habitats, deforestation, carbon emissions and other processes. Future actual people have the same rights and interests in avoiding suffering as present actual people. The extent of suffering may provide a pro tanto reason to prevent them from existing. Even if there is no such reason, merely possible people do not have these rights and interests because they do not and will not exist. If we become extinct, then the world will go on without us and will be good or bad for no one.
Why do ivory-tower discussions like this matter? Because these nihilists are teaching the society leaders of tomorrow, those who will exert tremendous influence over future public policies and cultural attitudes. With our supposedly best minds suggesting that human extinction could be desirable, is it any wonder why so many of our young people seem to be despairing?
Moreover, the utter terror of suffering is pathological and leads directly to evil and/or terribly wrongheaded utilitarian policies such as eugenics and social Darwinism. It is also the moving force behind the euthanasia movement, which seeks to eliminate suffering by eliminating the sufferer. Avoiding suffering is also the central philosophical core of the transhumanism quasi-religion, which seeks to create a corporeal immortality by instilling a new eugenics with very sharp teeth…
So, what should be our attitude toward suffering? It should not be utopian scheming. Nor, to be sure, should it be indifference. Rather, we have a human duty to mitigate each other’s suffering, to love and “suffer with” each other — which is the root meaning of compassion. And we can harness our own suffering to grow and become better individuals.
In this regard, for my Humanize podcast, I recently interviewed the quadriplegic Christian evangelist and disability rights activists Joni Eareckson Tada, who unexpectedly took a deep dive into this very issue, and in a very intimate and personal way. Regardless of faith issues, her attitude toward — and personal response to — her own deep suffering is much healthier than the nihilism that has grown so dark within utilitarian bioethics that some don’t reject the prospect of human extinction out of hand
On 28 April 2021, NASA's Parker Solar Probe actually flew into and through the solar corona, the upper atmosphere of the Sun. Not only did it live to tell the tale – proving the efficacy of Parker's high-tech heat shielding – it took in situ measurements, giving us a wealth of never-before-seen data on the heart of our Solar System.
"Parker Solar Probe 'touching the Sun' is a monumental moment for solar science and a truly remarkable feat," said astrophysicist Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters.
"Not only does this milestone provide us with deeper insights into our Sun's evolution and its impacts on our Solar System, but everything we learn about our own star also teaches us more about stars in the rest of the Universe."
Parker Solar Probe launched in 2018, with its primary objective to probe the solar corona. In its planned seven-year mission, it should be making a total of 26 close approaches, or perihelions, to the Sun, using a total of seven gravity assist maneuvers from Venus to bring it ever closer. The April perihelion was the eighth, and the first to actually enter the corona.
In its nearly five hours inside the solar atmosphere, Parker measured fluctuations in the Sun's magnetic field and sampled particles. Previously, our estimates of these properties relied on external information.
"Flying so close to the Sun, Parker Solar Probe now senses conditions in the magnetically dominated layer of the solar atmosphere – the corona – that we never could before," said astrophysicist Nour Raouafi, Parker project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
"We see evidence of being in the corona in magnetic field data, solar wind data, and visually in images. We can actually see the spacecraft flying through coronal structures that can be observed during a total solar eclipse."
Above: The bright features visible in the pictures here are coronal streamers, normally only seen from Earth during an eclipse. These were imaged by the Parker probe during the ninth perihelion in August this year.
The Sun doesn't have a solid surface. Instead, its boundary is defined by what we call the Alfvén critical surface, where gravity and the Sun's magnetic fields are too weak to contain the solar plasma.
Above this point, the solar wind emerges, blowing powerfully through the Solar System, so fast that waves within the wind break away from the Sun. What we call the 'surface' of the Sun, composed of roiling convection cells plasma and known as the photosphere, is far below.
One of the goals of Parker was to find out more about the Alfvén critical surface; namely, where it is, and what its topography is like, since we didn't know either of those things. Estimates had put the Alfvén critical surface at somewhere between 10 and 20 solar radii from the center of the Sun. Parker entered the corona at 19.7 solar radii, dipping down to as low as 18.4 solar radii during its corona jaunt.
Interestingly, the probe seemed to encounter the magnetic conditions of the corona sporadically, suggesting that the Alfvén critical surface is wrinkled. At lower depths, Parker encountered a magnetic structure known as a pseudostreamer, which we can see arcing out from the Sun during solar eclipses. Parker's data suggest that these structures are responsible for the deformation of the Alfvén critical surface, although we don't currently know why.
Inside the pseudostreamer, conditions were quieter than the surrounding solar atmosphere. Particles no longer buffeted the spacecraft quite so chaotically, and the magnetic field was more orderly.
Parker also investigated a phenomenon known as solar switchbacks. These are Z-shaped kinks in the magnetic field of the solar wind, and it's not currently known where or how they form. We've known about switchbacks since the 1990s, but it wasn't until Parker investigated them in 2019 that we learnt that they are rather common. Then on its sixth flyby, the probe's data showed us that switchbacks occur from patches.
Now Parker has detected them inside the solar atmosphere, suggesting that at least some of the switchbacks come from the lower corona.
"The structure of the regions with switchbacks matches up with a small magnetic funnel structure at the base of the corona," said astronomer Stuart Bale of the University of California, Berkeley, lead author on a paper on the phenomenon in press at The Astrophysical Journal. "This is what we expect from some theories, and this pinpoints a source for the solar wind itself."
We still don't know how these curious structures formed, but with dozens more perihelions ahead, going as close as 9.86 solar radii from the center of the Sun, we're likely to be getting some pretty fascinating answers.
"We have been observing the Sun and its corona for decades, and we know there is interesting physics going on there to heat and accelerate the solar wind plasma. Still, we cannot tell precisely what that physics is," Raouafi said.
"With Parker Solar Probe now flying into the magnetically-dominated corona, we will get the long-awaited insights into the inner workings of this mysterious region."
Historische primeur: ruimtevaartuig 'raakt' voor het eerst de zon
“We hebben de zon geraakt”, tweet NASA. Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis heeft een ruimtevaartuig dat door de mens is gemaakt, contact gehad met de zon. De eer ging naar de Parker Solar Probe (PSP).
Joeri Vlemings
NASA-sonde Parker vloog op 28 april van dit jaar in en door de zonnecorona, de buitenste atmosfeer rond de zon. Het hoogtechnologische hitteschild van Parker hield stand en de sonde kon unieke metingen uitvoeren. Dat leverde een schat aan nooit eerder geziene gegevens over het hart van ons zonnestelsel op. “De nieuwe mijlpaal betekent een grote stap voor de Parker Solar Probe en een grote sprong voorwaarts voor de zonnewetenschap”, aldus NASA, verwijzend naar de historische woorden van Neil Armstrong, de Amerikaanse astronaut die in 1969 als eerste mens voet op de maan zette. “Net zoals de landing op de maan wetenschappers in staat stelde te begrijpen hoe de maan werd gevormd, zullen wetenschappers door het aanraken van het materiaal waarvan de zon is gemaakt cruciale informatie kunnen ontdekken over onze naaste ster en haar invloed op het zonnestelsel.”
Thomas Zurbuchen van NASA vult aan: “Niet alleen geeft deze mijlpaal ons meer inzicht in de evolutie van onze zon en de invloed ervan op ons zonnestelsel, maar alles wat we leren over onze eigen ster, leert ons ook meer over sterren in de rest van het universum.”
De Parker Solar Probe werd op 12 augustus 2018 gelanceerd om in zeven jaar tijd 26 maal langs de zon te vliegen, telkens op kleinere afstand. Zo’n dichte toenadering tot de zon heet een perihelium. Het achtste perihelium in april was een primeur omdat de PSP voor het eerst de zonnecorona invloog. De sonde bleef bijna vijf uur in de zonneatmosfeer, mat fluctuaties in het magnetisch veld van de zon en nam monsters van deeltjes. Het gaat om waarnemingen die de mensheid tot dan nooit heeft kunnen doen.
“We kunnen het ruimtevaartuig zien vliegen door coronale structuren die we kunnen waarnemen tijdens een totale zonsverduistering”, legt astrofysicus Nour Raouafi van het Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory uit. “Nu de Parker Solar Probe in de magnetisch gedomineerde corona vliegt, krijgen we de langverwachte inzichten in de innerlijke werking van dit mysterieuze gebied.”

Glowing Spheres Over Paterson, New Jersey, 12-10-2021 (graphic language) UFO Sighting News.
Glowing Spheres Over Paterson, New Jersey, 12-10-2021 (graphic language) UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting:Dec 10, 2021 Location of sighting:Paterson, New Jersey, USA Source: MUFON
In this five minute video we see dozens of glowing circular objects moving across the sky. The objects are following each other in a line. Sometimes in the video I see a pair of the objects moving apart, then suddenly moving back together so it seem they are trying stay together. You can hear the eyewitnesses dismay and confusion in their voices as they watch the craft flying over them. At one point in the video one glowing object comes over them, he zoomed in on it, showing a whiteish sphere object, then it moves away. This moment excited the eyewitness who can be heard saying, "See! See I told you so!" meaning he said they were alien craft and this show of intelligence of the craft made that statement accurate.
This huge cigar-shaped UFO was filmed hovering in the daytime sky above Albuquerque in New Mexico. This happened in the recent days.
Witness report:
I watched it during an entire 15 minute drive and then filmed it once I got to the destination since the videos from the car were just awful. It stayed in that same spot. Then I sat and watched it about 5 more minutes before going inside.
It was in April 1561 when all residents of Nuremberg, Germany, came out of their houses to investigate mysterious lights and loud sounds. They watched the sky, in awe and fear as they witnessed what appeared to be some kind of air battle—and all of this in broad daylight of the early morning.
The reports of event say it lasted for about an hour, and artist Hans Glaser documented this strange event for the German Nuremberg Gazette. Describing the event, he refers to crosses, tubes, wheels, multi-colored objects and globes over the city. Hundreds of them. Objects would disappear in smoke, some even crashing into the ground. The smoke was visible for miles.
This image and description have begged explanation for centuries. What on Earth could explain these phenomena that were seemingly witnessed by many people?
Some would dismiss all of this to the appearance of meteors or comets, even other natural events, but the uniqueness of the Nuremberg incident eliminates such interpretations. The detailed description which is given by Glaser doesn’t seem to fit with any naturally occurring causes:
…the dreadful apparition filled the morning sky with cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about. Between the spheres, there were crosses with the color of blood. This frightful spectacle was witnessed by ‘numerous men and women.’ Afterwards, a black, spear-like object appeared. The author of the Gazette warned that ‘the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that he avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may, temporarily here and perpetually there, live as His children.’
Cylinders, crosses and a black spear-like object appearing in the sky are something that you would imagine seeing in a modern air-battle – but not something that would take place half a millennium ago!
A few years later, in 1566, another similar event took place in Basel, Switzerland, but this time it involved black orbs in a sky skirmish above the city. That event was also recorded at the time in the city’s gazette .
Another similar event took place in 1697 in Hamburg, Germany, where the crowd watched two enormous glowing wheels in the sky above the city.
Multiple reports odd phenomena in the skies over major cities my multiple people have to be describing some peculiar event. Unfortunately, there were no cameras available back then to take photos or videos of the events, so newspaper references and drawings are our only evidence. These remain open to the interpretations of many, and also to the various differing descriptions of the eyewitnesses. But nonetheless, something happened in the sky that day.
Very bright sun dogs in Fargo, North Dakota. Also visible are parts of the 22° halo (the arcs passing through each sundog), a sun pillar (the vertical line) and the parhelic circle (the horizontal line).
Frank Johnson has recently made an effort to debunk the Nuremberg event to sky reflections and the ‘sun dog’ lighting effect produced by the Sun, without offering any explanations for the sounds, the crashed objects or the smoke, and merely hypothesizing that these particulars could simply be either the imagination of the people or nothing at all.
Another interpretation claims the whole description could be of a ground battle, with the cylinders being cannon and the spheres being the cannon balls.
Is it possible that the entire event never happened and the newspaper reference was just a joke or at least an exaggeration of peoples reporting? Johnson notes that the broadsheets of the time, “contained the news of the weird or violent, and they had no problem stretching the truth to sell a few copies”.
When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Of course, all have not been eliminated here, but equally a terrestrial explanation is yet to have been found. The reporting of the event so resembles what you would expect from a sky battle of modern times that explanations of a battle between visiting aliens or even some kind of time shifting event remain on the table.
It is up to you to choose what to believe, but use the evidence and take it further, and above all investigate to find the truth.

Un crash d'ovni sur Mars ? Une photo de la NASA sème le trouble
Un crash d'ovni sur Mars ? Une photo de la NASA sème le trouble
Détail de la photo prise par la sonde Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter dans le canyon Candor Chasma. En médaillon, la prétendue anomalie en forme de disque.
NASA/JPL/UArizona
Une photo de la sonde Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter où apparaît ce qui ressemble à un objet artificiel suscite un débat passionné.
Mars n’en finit pas de livrer ses surprises et même des photos déjà anciennes peuvent donner lieu à de troublantes «découvertes». C’est ainsi qu’un certain Jean Ward, un Sud-Africain passionné de la planète rouge et surtout des anomalies plus ou moins étranges que l’on peut y trouver, fait le buzz avec une image prise par la sonde Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter en 2006, visible sur le site de l'Université de l'Arizona. Passée inaperçue à l’époque, cette photo montre une longue trace sur le sol martien, dans l'un des nombreux canyons de la région de Valles Marineris, à proximité de l’équateur.
Au bout de cette traînée, on distingue un objet circulaire d’une quinzaine de mètres de diamètre qui semble à demi enfoui dans le sable. Il n’en fallait pas plus pour déclencher un débat enflammé entre ceux qui y voient la preuve évidente du crash d’un vaisseau spatial et les sceptiques qui rappellent que les jeux d’ombres et de lumières peuvent créer les illusions les plus convaincantes. D’autant que Mars, désormais aussi photographiée qu’une star sur la Croisette, fournit régulièrement son lot de paréidolies, ces formes que le cerveau tend naturellement à forger aussi bien dans les nuages que dans le chaos de sable et de roches de notre proche voisine.
The only thing more terrifying that someone saying “Look … a black hole!” is someone saying “Look … a black hole … and it sprung a leak!” That’s the strange message coming to us from the Hubble telescope – working again and sending scary photos to remind us why it’s still the reigning king of space telescopes until the James Webb one launches, deploys and proves itself. In the meantime, NASA reports that Hubble found evidence that Sagittarius A* — the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole – is leaking a jet of hot gas. Is it time to find a giant cork … or a new galaxy?
How big is that leak?
“Our central black hole clearly surged in luminosity at least 1 millionfold in the last million years. That sufficed for a jet to punch into the Galactic halo.”
That ready-for-Jeff-Goldblum-as-a-NASA-scientist movie line comes from Tsukuba University’s Alex Wagner, co-author of new research published in the Astrophysical Journal, explaining in a NASA press release how Sagittarius A* sprung a leak … if something which happened over a million years can be considered a ‘spring’. Wagner and Gerald Cecil of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill were studying data on Sgr A* from Hubble, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Jansky Very Large Array telescope in New Mexico and the ALMA Observatory in Chile when they noticed an expanding, narrow linear jet of molecular gas 15 light-years away from the black hole. Hubble infrared-wavelength images showed a glowing, inflating bubble of hot gas aligned to the jet at a distance of at least 35 light-years from the black hole. Wagner paints a better picture.
“The streams percolate out of the Milky Way’s dense gas disk. The jet diverges from a pencil beam into tendrils, like that of an octopus.”
This is a composite view of X-rays, molecular gas, and warm ionized gas near the galactic center. The orange-colored features are of glowing hydrogen gas. One such feature, at the top tip of the jet (see the annotated image below) is interpreted as a hydrogen cloud that has been hit by the outflowing jet. The jet scatters off the cloud into tendrils that flow northward. Farther down near the black hole are X-ray observations of superheated gas colored blue and molecular gas in green. These data are evidence that the black hole occasionally accretes stars or gas clouds, and ejects some of the superheated material along its spin axis.

This schematic is based on multiwavelength observations of a suspected jet from the massive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The wide view shows our galaxy edge-on, with two huge bubbles of plasma glowing in gamma-rays and X-rays. These are evidence for an explosive outburst from the black hole about 2 million years ago. Probing deep into the galaxy's core (inset), astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have captured a glowing cloud of hydrogen near the black hole. The interpretation is that the cloud is being hit by a narrow, columnated jet of material that was blasted out of the black hole merely 2,000 years ago. The black hole is still active, but on a smaller scale of energy output than previously known outbursts. When the jet slams into the hydrogen knot the outflow scatters into octopus-like tendrils that continue along a trajectory out of our galaxy.

(Composite views of the leaking gas can be seen here.) While Sgr A* is said to be in a powered down state at the moment, it apparently still shows signs of activity when something gets sucked into its supermassive mouth and it belches out some gas. Unfortunately, the leak can’t be seen until it powers up again, but Cecil says that will happen soon … and it will be “cool.”
“The black hole need only increase its luminosity by a hundredfold over that time to refill the jet channel with emitting particles. It would be cool to see how far the jet gets in that outburst.”
We’re gonna need a bigger cork
When you’re an astronomer, you get your kicks wherever you can. The next step for the team is to use the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), an international collaboration capturing images of black holes using a virtual Earth-sized telescope, to take images of the black hole’s shadow which may show where and how the leak is launched.
In the meantime, Hubble will keep sending back its fantastic images until the James Webb telescope gets its act together.
“I think they are studying us. I don’t know what they really want.”
What kind of psychic says he knows for certain that extraterrestrials have been secretly watching humans for thousands of years … yet can’t tell us what they want? Uri Geller, of course! The Sultan of Spoon Bending has moved on from claiming to influence sports games and election results to warning that aliens are finally going to make themselves visible to us after studying humans from hidden locations.
“But I think they are preparing us for contact for the Steven Spielberg scenario of landing and it’s going to be spectacular. They will probably land on the White House lawn or somewhere. All our science fiction films about alien encounter will come true.”
Would Spielberg have an alien ship land on the White House lawn? Based on how his latest film is doing, he wouldn’t have them do a dance number as they exited the ship. In an interview with The Sun Online, Geller has expanded his earlier statements that ETs have been watching us for 50 years and now says they’ve been patiently observing for thousands. One would think Geller should have more accurate numbers since he has often claimed he received his psychic powers from aliens … although under hypnosis he once claimed he IS an ET sent here from another solar system. Whatever the case, he’s never been known to do anything as spectacular as bending spoons, so perhaps that’s what we should be prepared for the ETs to do on the White House lawn.
“There is no doubt in my mind that they are gentle and I’ll tell you why – if they weren’t we would have been destroyed a long time ago. Their ability to move in such erratic ways has never been seen before. It’s simply unbelievable. I think the Pentagon know much more but they’re not telling us.”
Geller conveniently piggybacks onto the Tic Tac UFO accounts with his comment about “their ability to move his such erratic ways.” However, to accuse the Pentagon of knowing more than they’re telling us conveniently sidesteps that fact that psychic Geller should also know more than he’s telling us … probably more than the Pentagon knows if he’s really an ET and/or a psychic. Is it any wonder why the late James Randi was so skeptical of Geller?
Will the aliens tell us how to bend spoons?
At this point, it doesn’t take a psychic to figure out what comes next. No, not an exact date of the spectacular arrival of the ETs – the best Geller can do is say “60 to 75 years it’s going to happen.” What Geller reveals next to The Sun Online is what he’s plugging – a new book on how anyone can use their own psychic powers to obtain “health, wealth, success and peace of mind.”
Sorry, Uri, we’d rather know when the aliens are coming and what kind of spoons they’ll be bending.
This is a great example of a classic disk UFO seen before it makes itself invisible. Ever seen a disk cloud, then instantly it disappears in front of your eyes, yeah thats what happens every time an alien telepathically senses its noticed. The UFO is dark red with a dome on its upper middle. The eyewitness (a young woman) even stated that she thought she saw a figure moving inside the craft for a few seconds. However most aliens have powerful telepathic senses amplified by their advanced technology, therefore its safe to assume that the alien was watching, recording the human activity below until it was noticed and it immediately cloaked, making it appear to evaporate in thin air, but in reality, its still sitting there watching the eyewitness.

Eyewitness states: “I was looking for a place for a photo production -sweaters factory- and I had been looking for a location, photographing and filming for 3 hours. When I was taking the picture of Cerro Paulino I realized that was there, I shot the photo and looked up, it was something black and there was something red inside, but in a millisecond it was hidden among the clouds, "she said.
Above screenshot shows a closeup of the UFO and below is added focus to see some detail.
Here is an amazing discovery of a oblong UFO found in a Mars map photo from NASA archives. The UFO has a shape unlike any I have ever seen before, but conforms to the balanced symmetry that one would expect it to have. The UFO is tilted 45 degrees due to it landing on a flat surface and the UFO itself having a rounded underbelly. Such objects are littered across Mars and even on the moon, which if salvaged by humans, could give humanity the technology it needs to survive indefinitely in the depths of space across the universe.
Have you heard China complaining and threatening to get back at the US for boycotting the olympics in Beijing and how the US tries to stop US from working with any China companies? Well, China is fighting back, covertly.
Guys, across the Internet we are hearing about how upwards of 30 tornadoes that hit the United States late at night, killing about a hundred people or more. And just a few days ago the world heard about how China has been using weather control to make it rain and clean the air more in China in an area the size of Alaska. But there are a few things you probably don't know.
China has the worlds largest radio telescope, five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, or FAST – which was declared fully operational as recently as January 2020. It's in China's Guizhou province. This is just the kind of instrument needed to create tornados.
Back in 1993 the US Air Force created the HAARP program, research into how to use electronic waves to manipulate the weather around them world, by bouncing a signal up into the sky and bouncing it off the ionosphere onto a location somewhere on Earth. The program started in Gabona, Alaska and lasted until 2014, when it was announced that the HARRP program would shut down. However it may have continued in covert in order to escape the protests of the public.
Somewhere along the line, China stole the details, research and tech knowhow to do their own HAARP program but not for research as much as research to be a weapon. China makes it a priority to steal any technology the US has...from the NASA space shuttle (they took it) to the newest Awacs (Fairborn warning control systems) military planes.
Also the fact that tornados don't come 30 at a time! Let alone at night and...in December with temperatures below freezing. Tornados usually come in spring and summer months. Scientists say May and June the peek tornado months. All weather scientists know...cold weather limits tornados. And to compound it all...the tornado hit at night, when everyone was inside, unable to see any tornadoes coming, thus unable to escape them. This HAARP China program is a weapon to punish its adversaries, to hurt them, to kill them, and to hurt the economy financially from the destruction.
Even President Biden said, "This is likely to be one of the largest tornado outbreaks in our history."
So...I post here the facts, my thoughts, and let you make your own decisions. China has the means and the motivation. But all the facts point to weather manipulation, a new kind of war.
For decades, many authors and researchers have been inspired by the idea that the human race was created by Ancient Aliens. And while mainstream science believes this is just ridiculous, countless pieces of evidence have been found across the globe that back up the ancient alien theory. Perhaps the most important connection between the rise of civilization and alien beings can be found in history, written in ancient manuscripts and clay tablets that have survived for thousands of years.
For example, the Ancient Sumerian King List, which describes kings, who ruled over Earth for a total of 241,200 years since the original kingship, had “descended from heaven.” The clay tablet of this unique text is 4,000-year-old and was found by German-American scholar Hermann Hilprecht at the beginning of the 20th century. Hilprecht found at least 18 such cuneiform tablets (c. 2017-1794 BCE). They were not identical but shared the information that is believed to have been taken from a single source of Sumerian history. There are more than a dozen of copies of the Sumerian King List found in Babylon, Susa, and Assyria, and the Royal Library of Nineveh from the 7th century BC.
The Ancient Sumerian King List.
Unfortunately, mainstream scholars refused to believe that everything written down on the Sumerian King list is real, saying that the list is a mixture of prehistorical and mythological accounts which speaks of Gods that ruled over the land enjoying implausibly lengthy reigns.
If we look at other ancient cultures such as Mesoamerican, we will find how the sacred book of the ancient Maya, the Popol Vuh describes the beings that created the mankind.
According to Living Maya Time, “The Popol Vuh, meaning ‘Book of the Community,’ narrates the Maya creation account, the tales of the Hero Twins, and the K’iche’ genealogies and land rights. In this story, the Creators, Heart of Sky, and six other deities including the Feathered Serpent wanted to create human beings with hearts and minds who could “keep the days.” But their first attempts failed. When these deities finally created humans out of yellow and white corn who could talk, they were satisfied. In another epic cycle of the story, the Death Lords of the Underworld summon the Hero Twins to play a momentous ball game where the Twins defeat their opponents. The Twins rose into the heavens, and became the Sun and the Moon. Through their actions, the Hero Twins prepared the way for the planting of corn, for human beings to live on Earth, and for the Fourth Creation of the Maya.”
The Popol Vuh
And while these above-mentioned ancient texts are extraordinary, perhaps, even more are the countless artifacts that have been found scattered across the globe depicting beings eerily similar to modern-day astronauts.
And while speaking of astronauts, Al Worden, a former astronaut and member of the Apollo 15 mission had something fascinating to say about alien life, while speaking in an interview with Good Morning Britain.
Al Worden was an American astronaut and engineer who was the Command Module Pilot for the Apollo 15 lunar mission in 1971. He is one of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon. The former astronaut was also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the “Most isolated human being” during his time alone in the Command Module Endeavour. He believed that humans are the descendants of ancient aliens.
In 2017, on a British TV show “Good Morning Britain,” he gave a shocking response when a host asked why to spend a lot of money on space missions when there are lots of problems on Earth. He was asked if he believed aliens were real. The answer probably surprised everyone watching the interview.
The former Apollo 15 member said that not only were aliens real, but they had come to Earth in the distant and created our civilization, and if we wanted to look for evidence, all we had to do was to look at ancient Sumerian literature.“We are the aliens, but we just think they are somebody else. But we are the ones who came from somewhere else, because somebody else had to survive, and they got into little spacecraft then they came here and landed, and they started civilization here. And if you don’t believe me, go get books on Ancient Sumerians and see what they had to say. They’ll tell you right up front,” Worden added. He died on March 18, 2020.
According to his words, he was the firm believer of the ancient Sumerian scriptures. They reveal that humans and gods used to live together, while humans were servants to gods and each Sumerian city was guarded by its own god. The earliest record of a Sumerian creation myth can be found in a tablet excavated in Nippur, an ancient Sumerian city in Mesopotamia, in 1893. (Click here for full article)
According to the cuneiform tablets, Earth was ruled by human-like gods at the beginning. When they arrived on Earth, they made it habitable by toiling the soil and mining the minerals. Besides, the text mentioned the revolt between the gods and their laborers.
“When the gods like men Bore the work and suffered the toll The toil of the gods was great, The work was heavy, the distress was.”
It is said before humans, the Anunnaki (a group of deities of the ancient Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians) used the Igigi (sometimes also spelled “Igigu”), the young generation of Ancient Astronaut Gods as their servants to mine gold on Earth, but later, they were replaced by humans when they rebelled against the Annunaki. For the ancient Mesopotamians, heaven is divided into three domes. The lowest dome of heaven was the home of the stars, and the middle dome was the home of the Igigi, the younger gods. The highest and outermost dome of heaven was personified as An, the god of the sky.
Supporting Al Worden’s statement, Dr. Ellis Silver, an author of the book “Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence,” has a strong belief that life on earth was sparked by aliens thousands of years ago.
According to him, humans should have become the strongest race in the universe, but the mortal body failed to thrive in the Earth’s environment, it can easily be harmed by sunlight, natural disasters, and diseases. He said: “Mankind is supposedly the most highly developed species on the planet, yet is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for Earth’s environment: harmed by sunlight, a strong dislike for naturally occurring foods, ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, and more.”
Dr. Ellis concluded that mankind did not come from that particular strain of life, but evolved elsewhere and was transported to Earth (as fully evolved Homo sapiens) between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago.
Pilot Captures Footage of Suspected UFOs Over Pacific Ocean (UPDATE)
Pilot Captures Footage of Suspected UFOs Over Pacific Ocean (UPDATE)
Joshua Espinoza
UPDATED 12/11, 9:18 p.m. ET:Footage of a more recent alleged sighting has now started gaining traction, including via a TMZ story on Saturday. The footage in question captures a separate reported sighting of unidentified aerial phenomena, this time in the Chino Hills region of California.
According to the report, the footage was shot on Dec. 9 and shows multiple unexplained light shapes moving in an erratic fashion. Per the woman responsible for the footage, the lights were first spotted by her grandson, who was taking out the trash at the time.
See the video below.
See original story below.
A new video circulating on social media has fueled the extraterrestrial debate.
The footage was reportedly captured by a pilot who was flying over the South China Sea at an altitude of 39,000 feet. The video shows three sets of mysterious light formations moving through the clouds near Hong Kong before quickly disappearing.
“I don’t know what that is. That is some weird shit,” a person is heard saying in the video, before the lights seemingly vanish one by one. “Gone.”
Though the lights don’t appear to be from any known aircraft, some social media users suspected they were either reflections from the cockpit glass or military flares. Chris Spitzer, who describes himself as an experienced atmospheric phenomena investigator, proposed the latter theory.
According to the Independent, the 53-second video was uploaded to a UFO tracking website earlier this month, but was reportedly filmed on Nov. 24—the same day the U.S. Defense Department announced the establishment of a UFO task force.
“The (Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group) will synchronize efforts across the Department and the broader U.S. government to detect, identify and attribute objects of interests in Special Use Airspace (SUA), and to assess and mitigate any associated threats to safety of flight and national security,” the DOD wrote in a press release.
“To provide oversight of the AOIMSG, the Deputy Secretary also directed the USD(I&S) to lead an Airborne Object Identification and Management Executive Council (AOIMEXEC) to be comprised of DoD and Intelligence Community membership, and to offer a venue for U.S. government interagency representation.”
Fans of Pluto returning to its old planetary position rejoice – a recent study by planetary scientists found that the controversial 2006 decision the International Astronomical Union to demote Pluto to dwarf planet status was based on a flawed characteristic which had never been used before to define planets. While removing this characteristic would return Pluto to its ninth planet spot, the scientists also want to add a new characteristic which would open the planetary club to a number of the solar system’s moons. Are we ready for that?
“This might seem like a small change, but it undermined the central idea about planets that had been passed down from Galileo. Planets were no longer defined by virtue of being complex, with active geology and the potential for life and civilization. Instead, they were defined by virtue of being simple, following certain idealized paths around the Sun.”
Dr. Philip Metzger, a planetary scientist at the University of Central Florida’s Florida Space Institute, is the lead author of a new study published in the journal Icarus which presents the idea, outlined in a UCF press release, that new data from modern telescopes and space travel has reignited an interest in planets and moons which has prompted some rethinking back to old thinking about the definition of a planet – old thinking going all the way back to the father of observational astronomy and proponent of heliocentrism … Galileo Galilei. According to Metzger, Galileo defined planets as space objects which were currently or had in the past been geologically active.
Galileo
That held true until the 1900s, when Metzger claims almanacs like The Old Farmer’s Almanac drew the public to observe – and give credence to – the positions of the planets over their composition. This led to an inclination that size was important in the definition of planets because only large planets with strong gravity could make their own unique traceable path through the sky.
“So, some scientists tried to develop a method to mathematically justify a small number of planets, which was the criterion that a planet has to clear its own orbit. And this was really developed post facto to keep an orderly, small number of planets.”
Metzger objects to a planet’s current trajectory being the defining factor of its nature because a star passing near our solar system could disrupt the path of Jupiter and have it cross orbits with Saturn – would that mean the gas giant is no longer a planet?
“It’s like defining ‘mammals’. They are mammals whether they live on the land or in the sea. It’s not about their location. It’s about the intrinsic characteristics that make them what they are.”
That’s where study co-author Charlene E. Detelich, a geologist and researcher with the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, joins in and pitches the idea that large geologically-active moons like Jupiter’s Europa should be called planets too.
“For the term planet, myself and most planetary scientists consider round icy moons to be planets. They all have active geologic processes that are driven by a variety of internal processes, as does any world with enough mass to reach hydrostatic equilibrium. As a geologist, it is immensely more useful to divide planets by their intrinsic characteristics than by their orbital dynamics.”
By that definition, Pluto would rejoin the current eight and adding the active moons would push the total to around 200. Detelich says she sympathizes with schoolchildren who would now have to memorize the names of so many planets (not to mention devote a LOT more time to solar system science projects) but she argues that simplicity should not be the sole driving force in planetary definition.
Can you still name them?
“We present evidence that taxonomical alignment with geological complexity is the most useful scientific taxonomy for planets. It is this complexity of both primary and secondary planets that is a key part of the chain of origins for life in the cosmos.”
The late Leonard Stringfield, who passed away in 1994, was a UFO researcher who firmly believed that, since the 1940s, the U.S. Government had secretly recovered a number of crashed UFOs and dead aliens, and which were stored and preserved a variety of military bases across the country – many at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Stringfield, too, however, was given a number of accounts relative to the issue of secret and shocking human experimentation on handicapped people; experimentation that was tied in with the Roswell affair. One of those stories came to Stringfield from a highly controversial figure in Ufology. His name: Timothy Cooper, a resident of Big Bear Lake, California and someone who exited the field of UFO research years ago. Far more than a few people in Ufology have very little time for Cooper, suspecting that many of the documents he supplied to the UFO community in the mid-1990s were bogus, rather than the highly classified papers that they were purported to be. They were bogus; there is no doubt about that. But, Cooper himself was not the forger. It’s the “pre-documents” era we have to take a look at, however. It paints a very different picture of Cooper to that which many ufologists have accepted.

Big Bear Lake, California
Tim Cooper claimed to Stringfield in 1990 that he had numerous sources of the old-timer kind – some of who assured Cooper that, yes, aliens really did crash outside of Roswell in the summer of 1947. Others, however, quietly hinted to Cooper that the truth was far more controversial: a scenario involving human guinea-pigs – Japanese and handicapped individuals – and the creation of UFO-themed disinformation programs and faked, pro-UFO documents to hide the down-to-earth truth of the Roswell enigma. Also in 1990, Cooper supplied Stringfield one specific story which Stringfield decided to firmly keep under wraps until the following year, 1991, when he published it in a lengthy report on tales of crashed and secretly retrieved alien spacecraft. The story concerned a woman who Cooper first crossed paths with in 1989. He described her only as a nurse, and gave her the pseudonym of “Mary.” That alias was not too far off from the real name of another nurse linked to the story. Decades ago, Cooper’s informant allegedly worked at what is, today, the New Mexico-based Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Not an alien in sight. Only a terrible, secret experiment
In Cooper’s own words of 1990, and which Stringfield published: “She casually mentioned to me over coffee that ‘bodies’ were being flown to Los Alamos periodically from late 1945 to sometime in 1947. I asked her if she had seen these ‘bodies’ and she said no, but others had. I asked her where these ‘bodies’ were coming from. She said she did not know but it was rumored that they were human experiments for biological and nuclear medicine research. She thought they may have come from Japan after the war [italics mine]. I asked her why she thought that. She said that they were small bodies with deformed heads and limbs. The eyes were abnormally big, she was told. She did have some view of them in the morgue very briefly for a few minutes at some distance. I asked her why she was allowed to be present at the autopsies. She told me that she was asked to assist in the preparation and cleanup. I asked her again about the bodies. She said they were being flown in on special transport planes equipped with refrigerator units to keep the bodies from decomposing. The flesh was badly burned and charred. There was no hair on the heads and had a grayish-yellow color. That’s all she knew.”
What all of this demonstrates is that the Roswell story gets more and more sinister when we begin to look at the “human angle” of what happened at Roswell in July 1947, and when we dismiss the “extraterrestrial angle.”
There are many people around the world who have seen a UFO, alien or weird phenomenon. You may not be one of them, but would you trust fellow human beings who have seen and reported them?
Considered a pseudoscience in the mainstream scientific world, ufology, or the study of UFOs, is largely dismissed. Because we have learned to associate reality with what the majority accepts, anything that falls outside of this is considered taboo, which can, in many ways, be a good thing, as it keeps morality in check.
However, we need to understand that UFOs do not fall in the moral compass. It is a phenomenon that has often been buried time and again by many skeptics and governments in spite of many reports being provided by authoritative individuals.
Every year, Phoenix, Arizona, hosts the International UFO Congress, the biggest annual gathering for ufology. The conference has a special enthusiasm among the ufologists who are trying to prove skeptics wrong while also simply exposing the truth through stories, evidence, and more.
Although the ufologists eagerly explain that the UFOs are not just a perception, but a reality, the massive gap between the belief and knowledge keeps the scientific and pseudoscientific apart from each other. The ufologists have been trying to pump in maximum energy to prove their point, and the US government claims to look into the phenomenon in a serious formal way for almost six decades now. There is a constant looming fear that ufology will always be left for the pseudoscientists to ponder.
Feeling of happiness
According to Bob Davis, a retired neuroscientist, people’s fear of being ridiculed by others is the main reason why ufology is not taken seriously. Davis is a member of the Dr Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters. The team had studied 3,057 individuals who have fought against the fear of ridicule and instead spoken up about their encounters with a physical craft associated with some form of non-human intelligence. Their research, according to Davis, has led to some very intriguing insight, one of which is that such UFO encounters make the witnesses… happy.
Study suggests that such UFO encounters make the witness happy.
One might assume fear or curiosity would be the two biggest words associated with such encounters, but Davis notes:
What we’ve found is that about 85 percent of the people who are experiencing this phenomenon are being transformed in a very positive behavioral or psychospiritual way. Generally, people become more humane, experience a oneness with the world. They become less interested in organized religion, they become more spiritual, they have less interest in monetary values, and become more sensitive to the ecological welfare of our planet, among many other psychospiritual outcomes. It is a real and powerful outcome that is generally ignored by the UFO community.
Are people ever hurt by UFOs?
People occasionally report feeling pain or receiving an injury during a UFO encounter or abduction. Physical effects include eye irritation, sunburn, skin cuts, and sickness. After the experience, witnesses may have nightmares and feel anxious, and they may undergo personality changes or changes in their beliefs about important life issues. Witnesses, especially abductees, claim later UFO encounters and other experiences with the paranormal, such as poltergeist activity or the development of psychic powers.
Some witnesses report feeling pain or receiving an injury during a UFO encounter or abduction
One of the most famous UFO sightings resulting in injuries to witnesses involved two women, Betty Cash and Vicki Landrum, and Mrs. Landrum’s grandson, Colby, as they drove along a deserted Texas road during December 1980. In front of them, they saw a huge, brilliant, diamond-shaped object with flames shooting out from the bottom. Cash stopped the car and got out to have a better look at the UFO. The object radiated intense heat that softened the dashboard of her car. Terrified, Cash returned to the car and with the others, watched the UFO move away. As it did so, a squadron of helicopters appeared and surrounded the UFO. The witnesses followed the object and the helicopters until they disappeared in the distance. By the time the three reached home, all were feeling ill. Within a few hours, they developed sunburnlike blisters, nausea, and diarrhea. Betty Cash’s symptoms were the most severe, and she eventually sought medical treatment and was hospitalized as a burn victim. Her doctor concluded Cash was exhibiting symptoms of radiation sickness. The witnesses later sued the United States government, claiming it was responsible for their injuries. (They had identified the helicopters as Chinook twin-rotor helicopters used by the U.S. Army.) Their lawsuit was unsuccessful because they could never prove the UFO or the helicopters were devices owned and operated by the American government.
Feeling of a sexual desire
A survey conducted by a Panamanian paper revealed that 37 percent of the Panamanians felt sexual desire after spotting a UFO. Diana Santanach, Director of Cid Gallup, reveals, “A desire for sex was the strongest feeling – according to the survey – among those who claim having seen a UFO, far above a sense of terror (17%). There is no specific explanation offered by the survey as to this reason.”
A bizarre survey in a well-known UFO hotspot has revealed that an ' alien ' sighting stimulates your sexual appetite
Nigel Watson, the author of the UFO Investigations Manual, says, ‘’Perhaps the anxiety and wonder of seeing something exceptional in the sky arouses the witness and accounts for these survey results. Some might claim that Randy aliens are deliberately sending out beams that will stimulate witnesses so that they can have their wicked way with them. The concept of breeding with aliens is nothing new. By the 1980s alien abduction researchers in the USA accepted that women are routinely abducted, impregnated and then re-abducted a few weeks later for the extraction of the hybrid foetus. These activities explained the short-lived pregnancies experienced by female abductees. As for male abductees, they either claimed to have had intercourse with an alien woman or their sperm was extracted by mechanical means by the aliens.”
Whitley Strieber, in his book Communion, described of being abducted by the aliens who inserted a 1ft (0.3m)-long anal probe inside him. According to him, it seemed like a living entity, however on removal, he was surprised to see that it was a mechanical device. The case put forth by Antonio Villas Boas is also worth mentioning. According to him, he was dragged inside a flying saucer in 1957 where he was forced to have sexual intercourse with a beautiful alien lady. When he left, she pointed at her stomach and then at the sky implying that she would have the child in outer space.
For some ufologists, these reports may seem like the aliens are conducting some hybrid breeding program to create another race of beings. The purpose of the creation is unknown and can only be imagined! However, skeptics are of the opinion that these experiences are a product of sleep paralysis, wherein people are unable to discriminate between the reality and the fantasy during the sleeping and waking period.
Davis says, “What we’ve found is that about 85 percent of the people who are experiencing this phenomenon is being transformed in a very positive behavioral or psychospiritual way. People become more humane, experience a oneness with the world. They become less interested in organized religion; they become more spiritual, they have less interest in monetary values, and become more sensitive to the ecological welfare of our planet, among many other psychospiritual outcomes. It is a real and powerful result that is generally ignored by the UFO community.”
Davis adds, “People are reporting that they become aware, based on their interaction with the phenomenon, that there is indeed a multi-dimensional reality, that there is life after death.” The research team believes that positive transformations help in experiencing a spiritual awakening. Davis says, “Call it psychospirtual, call it religious, call it whatever, but the vast majority of these people are transformed in a very positive way.” While the research revealed that people felt happy, many experts strongly assert that people feel a strong sexual desire on seeing a UFO.
While the U.S. government is attempting to pass legislation to develop a UFO/UAP department in the Pentagon, with one of its responsibilities being to reverse-engineer crashed or captured unidentified aerial phenomena, a professor at California’s Stanford University claims he’s already been studying UAP materials for year. Not only that, he’s done extensive research on the brains of people who have had UFO encounters and has some interesting insights … and he’s the researcher whoproved the famous 6-inch Atacama skeleton was not an alien but a premature human.
“It was on the front page of just about every major newspaper. What’s more appealing or clickbait than ‘Stanford professor sequences alien baby’?”
Well, we hope Dr. Gary Nolan’s current research is not ‘clickbait’ but actual analysis of UFO materials and humans (including military pilots) claiming to have UFO encounters … some of whom suffered serious health issues as a result and a few who died. In a wide-ranging interview with Vice’s Motherboard, Dr. Nolan starts by revealing that after his review of the Atacama ‘alien’, he was contacted by the CIA to analyze about 100 patients, mostly “defense or governmental personnel or people working in the aerospace industry,” who had UFO encounters.
“A reasonable subset of them had claimed to have seen UAPs and some claimed to be close to things that got them sick. Let me show you the MRIs of the brains of some of these people.”
The MRIs (some can be seen here) revealed damage in the middle of the basal ganglia – an area responsible for motor control and other core brain functions … including intuition. Nolan said the damage should have killed these people, yet they were alive. He obtained MRIs of some prior to their encounters and they had the damage, so they were most likely born with it.
“These are all so called high-functioning people. They’re pilots who are making split second decisions, intelligence officers in the field, etc.”
Nolan compared these injuries to those who suffered from Havana syndrome, but in this case a quarter of them died after their UFO exposure. One of the patients had their encounter on the Skinwalker Ranch and their brain damage was so extensive, Nolan attributed it not to a UAP but a weapon or a massive electric transformer. Nolan resisted offering private thoughts or conclusions on what these patients were suffering from. However, he was more open when the questions turned to UAP materials.
“One of the materials from the so called Ubatuba event [a UAP event in Brazil], has extraordinarily altered isotope ratios of magnesium. It was interesting because another piece from the same event was analyzed in the same instrument at the same time. This is an extraordinarily sensitive instrument called a nanoSIMS – Secondary Ion Mass Spec. It had perfectly correct isotope ratios for what you would expect for magnesium found anywhere on Earth. Meanwhile, the other one was just way off. Like 30 percent off the ratios. The problem is there’s no good reason humans have for altering the isotope ratios of a simple metal like magnesium.”
The Ubatuba event occurred in 1957 – a 30-pound object fell from the sky and was thought to be magnesium. If it came from a spaceship, Nolan wonders why it was dropped. Was it having problems? Did it need to shed weight? Was it a fuel that was spent? Nolan says he’s analyzed 10 or 12 similar objects from UFO encounters and found that “two seem to be not playing by our rules.” What that means is “they have altered isotope ratios” that can’t be explained by conventional means.
Could humans be altering the isotopes in these strange objects for unknown purposes? Nolon speculates that is possible, but proving it requires getting down to the atomic level – possibly with a super quantum interference device (SQUID) – but neither his budget nor the budgets of the groups analyzing UFO/UAP encounters have that kind of funding … yet.
Let’s hope we hear more from Dr. Gary Nolan – a real scientist studying UFOs and people claiming to have UFO encounters.

Lord Hill Norton UFOs are Real
Lord Hill Norton
T he evidence that there are objects which have been seen in our atmosphere, and even on terraform, that cannot be accounted for either as man-made objects or as any physical force or effect known to our scientists, seems to me to be overwhelming… A very large number of sightings have been vouched for by persons whose credentials seem to me unimpeachable. It is striking that so many have been trained observers, such as police officers and airline or military pilots. Their observations have in many instances… been supported either by technical means such as radar or, even more convincingly, by… interference with electrical apparatus of one sort or another…. Lord Hill-Norton, Chief of Defense Staff, Ministry of Defense, Great Britain, 1973; Chairman, Military Committee of NATO, 1974-77; quoted from his foreword to “Above Top Secret” by Timothy Good, Morrow & Co’s Quill Books, 1988.
UFOs Enters Water
U.S.S. Omaha
The US Navy USS Omaha photographed and filmed “spherical” shaped UFOs and advanced trans-medium vehicles; here is some of that footage. Filmed in the Combat Information Center of the USS Omaha / July 15th 2019 / warning area off San Diego @ 11pm PST. No wreckage found. No craft were recovered.
Allegedly a Chinese Commercial aircraft struck a UFO which then apparently crashed
UFO Crash in China! News Footage
May 20, 2014 Speculation indicates a UFO may have struck an airliner over China causing damage to the nose of the airliner and causing the UFO to crash.
UFO News Story: Chinese media are reporting three UFO’s which crash landed. Here is a quote from the story that Openminds.tv wrote. “Original article “Resident in the Heilongjiang province in China reported seeing three UFOs darting across the sky and apparently one of them came crashing down possibly hitting an airliner.
Damage to China Airliner
According to Chinanews.com, villagers in Mengchang saw three objects falling from the sky this morning. Soon after they heard a “huge piercing sound,” and a huge ball of flame came crashing down into the vegetable garden of one of the villagers. What they found in the garden looks straight out of a science-fiction movie. It appears to be a large metal ball covered by a layer of jagged material. ” Happy UFO hunting!
Crashed Chinese UFO
Air Force Tried to Build UFOs
The Department of Defense paid Air Force scientist Salvatore Pais to develop a “trans-medium” military craft modeled after unidentified flying objects (UFO) that can operate both in air and underwater. The Pentagon funded the project out of concern that China or the Soviet Union might already have developed an advanced UFO.’
This experimental Lenticular ReEntry Vehicle (LRV)
`In the 1950s and early 1960s, the U.S. military and NASA experimented with designs that resembled flying saucers. , but apparently had problems and was Eae701.
Four of these LRV projects was declassified in 1999and destroyed at MacDill Air Force Base. . If you saw a flying disc back in the day near one of these bases, it might have been one of these unique aircraft.
The Air Force is continuing to develop a UFO with Pais who was formerly an aerospace engineer for the Naval Air Systems Command’s Warfare Center Aircraft Division before transferring to the Air Force this year. Known for his high-concept, futuristic inventions, the engineer filed several patents on behalf of the Navy, including for a compact fusion reactor that could practically generate limitless energy without consuming a lot of power to do so.
His experimental craft is no less mind-boggling. Inspired by UFOs that were seen in American airspace before, the craft is a hybrid aerospace-underwater vehicle that can fluidly switch between two different mediums. According to Pais, the technology works by generating high-energy electromagnetic fields, which he claimed can allow one to manipulate the “quantum vacuum” that underlies the universe.
If Pais were correct, a craft enveloped by a high-energy electromagnetic force field could move through air or water with virtually no resistance. In turn, the craft could travel at incredible speeds through both mediums, functioning as both a submersible vehicle and a supersonic stealth aircraft. Crews would be encased in a Faraday cage to shield them from intense electromagnetic forces.
Pais remarked that the technology would “engineer the fabric of our reality at the most fundamental level.” While some experts expressed skepticism – science writer Brett Tingley said that the craft had no basis in reality – his ambitious project apparently convinced some defense chiefs. He was reportedly handed over $500,000 to carry out research on the concept. Internal emails from the Pentagon also revealed that there was at least one experimental demonstration of the technology. (Related: Navy patents suggest American military possesses alien technology.)
Cylinders
Bill in France took Photo was sent by Nancy Talbot.
There are reports of large cylinder-shaped objects all over the world. There are no wings or propellers for lift that indicates some type of propulsion that overcomes gravity.
Many cylinder sightings were reported in the 1400-1500s in Germany and France in particular, with the theory that there was a war amongst alien cylinders and orbs.
1561 Print of UFOs in Sky
At sunrise on the 14th April 1561, the citizens of Nuremberg beheld “A very frightful spectacle.” The sky appeared to fill with cylindrical objects from which red, black, orange and blue white disks and globes emerged. Crosses and tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared whereupon the objects promptly “began to fight one another.” This event is depicted in a famous 16th century woodcut by Hans Glaser.
“Tube” indicates that these objects are hollow or at least have space inside for humanoid beings whereas a “cylinder” could be fairly solid, perhaps the outer casing houses one big machine inside? Thanks to www.ufoevidence.org. On occasion a cylinder might be a misidentified aircraft but multiple witnesses claim they have viewed them close enough to discard this explanation,
Huge Cylinder
Perhaps they belong to one kind of UFO occupant while the huge cylinders, saucer, or triangle craft are the motherships of UFO occupants from other planets or sources? Or at least these might be “interim ships” which are not as small as scout craft but not as large as mile long motherships. Usually cylinder sightings report no windows and a 100 foot length similar to large aircraft. Presbyterian Minister Barry H. Downing writes, “I suggest UFOs have played an important role in the history of the world.
Reverend Barry Downing in his book “The Bible and Flying Saucers”
declares the messengers are here and that the Pillar of Fire and of Cloud are ancient descriptions of UFOs. He and other experts feel that when the Hebrew Scriptures are translated correctly, they describe cylinder or saucer shaped craft with a dome, that carry God’s messengers, angels, or the Lord. The word most often used in the Old Testament for cloud is ‘anan,’ a word that describes anything that flies except birds and insects. The clouds or ‘anan’ are described as having attributes not normally associated with fluffy clouds such as flying towards the observer and landing, glowing at night, and carrying passengers.
Pillar Light
Reverend Downing states, “During the exit of Israelites from Egypt they are guarded by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.’ (Exodus 14:24). Sometimes the pillar of cloud is referred to as the “Lord” (Exodus 13:21; 14:24); other references seem to be “the angel of God” (Exodus 14:20), “the glory and brightness of the Lord appeared in the cloud” (Exodus 16:10), “I am coming to you in a thick cloud” (Exodus 19-9), “Mt Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in a fire” (Exodus 19:18). Obviously, normal clouds cannot carry passengers, so we can assume the Bible is referring to some type of flying craft that hovers in one spot for months. The descriptions often describes coming in the clouds. The power of the Lord met Moses and parted the Red Sea allowing the Israelites to escape from the Egyptian chariots. Later on the top of Mount Sinai God gave them the Laws of God, known as the Ten Commandments. They begin, because “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,” “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:2,3). These commandments provide a standard of behavior brought in a UFO by the Lord who came from Heaven, so that Earth can fulfill God’s plan. God’s angels crush Pharaoh, making sport of Pharaoh’s chariots in the Red Sea. Not surprisingly, modern UFOs have made sport of our technology, and our advanced jet fighters. Why won’t American military leaders just announce that modern UFOs fly circles around our fighters? God is making sport of all the powers. Writing from a scientific perspective, Foster Morrison has said, “The only identifiable thing the UFO phenomenon is doing is discrediting the scientific and political establishments. UFOs are an attack on the scientific atheism of our culture. The God of the Bible is alive and well. UFOs are also an attack on blind religious faith. Religious leaders are in for a shock. Not only are the angels of God alive and well, but they are scientifically very advanced.
Thanks to Minister Barry H. Downing.
UFO Flying near Airliner
UFOs are often spotted southeast of Tacoma, Washington on the Yakama Indian Reservation. There is intense UFO activity within Toppenish Ridge area that is 40 miles wide and 70 miles long. It is an area of canyons and heavily forested regions. The valley is essentially closed to the public and special permits are required to enter. Forestry personnel have seen UFOs and have heard unusual sounds for years coming from deep underground. Within the dark, restricted canyons, ‘glows’ have been seen. Washington has the second highest number of UFO reports only following California.
This area is not accessible by foot or vehicle. Located in southwestern Washington State reservation is 1,130,000 acres that is home to the Yakama Indian Nation. The reservation was granted to the Yakama in a treaty signed in 1855 by Governor Isaac Stevens of the Washington Territory and representatives of the Indian tribes.
Yakama Reservation almost a third of Washington
Although the treaty called for a period of two years to allow the various tribes to migrate to and resettle on their new reservations, Gov. Stevens declared Indian lands open for white settlers a mere twelve days after the treaty was signed. A Yakama chief, Kamiakin called upon the tribes that had been duped to forcefully oppose this declaration. Things moved quickly and a series of raids, counter raids and reciprocal atrocities began. This uprising became known as the Yakama War that continued until 1859. The Yakama accepted their reservation and still dwell there today.
The Yakama Nation covering almost a third of Washington state is about 6,300 strong with a flag that shows their sacred Mount Adams, and an eagle with its wings spread. Above the eagle is the “morning star.”
Eagle over Mt. Adams, Washington
Low-flying silver cigar-shaped craft have been seen to disappear into the deep canyon known as the Middle Fork of Toppenish Creek. The Indians and others report lights and UFOs of both cylinder and disc shape.
Northfield — On April 20, 2014, two witnesses spotted a cigar shaped UFO flying south to north not far from the Atlantic Ocean. The craft was at around 5000 feet altitude flying at about 100 mph. There were no wings, windows or appendages of the craft that had blunt ends similar to a cigarette. The witness is a pilot with 30 years aviation experience. Thanks to Bill.

China Effecting Jet Stream
China is controlling Red Jet Stream that is moving erratically Fri, December 3, 2021, 3:20 PM·2 min read
As of 3 pm EST, only two states in the U.S. have a winter weather product issued within their borders. One is Alaska and the other? Hawaii! One Hundred mph winds are expected.
Blizzard warning issued for Hawaii with at least 12 inches of snow forecast
A blizzard warning has been issued for Hawaii, with at least 12 inches of snow forecast this weekend.
The warning is in effect for the Big Island summits from 6 p.m. Friday through 6 a.m. Sunday local time.
In addition to blizzard conditions, wind gusts over 100 mph are also expected, according to the alert issued by National Weather Service Honolulu.
: A blizzard warning will be in effect for Hawaii’s Big Island from Friday evening through Sunday morning. (ABC News)
“Travel could be very difficult to impossible,” the alert said. “Blowing snow will significantly reduce visibility at times, with periods of zero visibility.”
“The strong winds will likely cause significant drifting of snow,” it added.
A blizzard warning for tropical Hawaii may come as a surprise, but snow is not uncommon; the summits of the Big Island’s Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes reach nearly 14,000 feet in elevation.
A flood watch has been also issued for all Hawaiian islands through Monday afternoon, as a prolonged period of heavy rainfall is anticipated over the weekend.

Planned Parenthood More Dangerous than Atomic Bombs’
Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bombs
The Hiroshima atomic bomb toll was 90,000 to 150,000 dead, while killed and wounded in the Nagasaki atomic bomb was 75,000. A total of 225,000 were killed in the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in World War II. Each year five to six times the number killed by the two atomic bomb attacks on Japan can be compared to the 1,3000,000 babies aborted with hearts beating according to the Planned Parenthood last year. From 1975-2019, the nation saw more than one million abortions each year. Since 1973, the Supreme Court Roe vs. Wade genocide has taken the lives of sixty-two million (62,502,904) babies with their hearts beating in the United States as of 2020, more than ten times the six million Jews that Hitler gassed in the Holocaust his death camps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides_
This is thought to be the greatest genocide in the history of the world. Genocide is considered one of the worst moral crimes a government can commit against its citizens. A democratic controlled Supreme Court in 1973, struck down anti-abortion laws that had been in force in each state since at least 1900. It struck down many U.S. federal and state and various anti-abortion laws that protected the lives of unborn babies.
The Planned Parenthood Clinics should be referred to as extermination death camps when they admitted to negotiating the harvesting and sale of aborted fetal baby body parts, cutting up babies and selling their parts on the open market according to their revelations in recent court cases. Additionally, they often brief inside high schools telling the teenagers how to get an abortion never mentioning that women who abort unusually die younger than women who have babies.
It not only the babies that are exterminated. A recent study in Finland of 10,000 women who had abortions were actually 3.5 times more likely to die within a year than those who carried their pregnancy to birth. Https://www.afterabortion.org/PAR/V8/n2/finland.html
This was judicial activism to write the murder of millions of babies each year. A human being is considered alive if their heart is beating usually at about six weeks’ gestation and dead if the heart is not beating, if a person’s heart stops, he is declared dead; therefore, when a person’s heart begins to beat, there can no longer be a question if he or she is alive.
Baby’s Killed after Birth
New York is protecting Women’s Rights to murder their babies up to include after the actual birth seems barbaric. Today it is simple to determine if you are pregnant and can take a pill to abort before the baby’s heart is beating at six weeks. Pack of twenty to test if you are pregnant costs $7.59 ($0.38 cents for each test. The emergency contraceptive pill can be purchased for $15.00 online. The point is if a woman wishes to stop her pregnancy, she can accomplish that for a small amount of money.
Planned Parenthood Federation received $1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars between fiscal years 2016 and 2018. Biden Spends First 100 Days Expanding Abortion on Demand
Planned Parenthood has funded Democrats with $450 million dollars for the 2020, election. Follow the money, Democrats are paid large sums to encourage abortion. I wonder how many scientists, doctors, singers have been killed? Hundreds of workers in the clinics have quit giving amazing stories of cruelty.
I have no trouble with birth control procedures, but recently Democratic Federal Judges slapped down heartbeat laws in six states that limited abortion to six weeks when the baby’s heart starts beating. The laws were initially passed in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee.
Mental Health and high Suicide rate of Women is Ignored
An Article by Julia Steinberg and colleagues in The Lancet Psychiatry, in which the authors examined the risk of first suicide attempt before and after abortion. The authors concluded that women who had abortions had a higher risk of non-fatal suicide attempts compared with women who did not have an abortion. This risk is thought to be six times higher. There is also evidence that Brest cancer is more prevalent in women who had abortions. Abortion is an invasive procedure, involving surgical tools being inserted inside a woman’s body and used to tear apart and terminate a child. Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, admits that in this invasive procedure, “serious complications may be fatal.
“Planned Parenthood appeared under oath in court on Sep 04, 2019, and admitted supplying the cut-up body parts of children in the womb to for-profit brokers like Stem Express. “Elliot Institute studied 173,000 American women who either had abortions or carried to term. Reardon was described in the New York Times Magazine as the “Moses” of the “post-abortion movement”.
Women who Abort make Six times more attempts at Suicide
Dr. David Reardon founded the Elliot Institute when he found that women who aborted were 154% more likely to commit suicide than women who gave birth. Another survey cited by Reardon in his book “Aborted Women, Silent No More” (Springfield, IL: Acorn Books,) stated, “Up to 60% of women who had abortions had subsequent suicidal feelings, with 28% actually 364,000 attempting suicide each year.
Elliot Institute
Help stop one million women from attempting suicide in the next three years, many thousands are successful!
A study, published in the Southern Medical Journal, was performed in California using the Medicaid records of 173,279 women. They found the following results:
“Compared with women who delivered, those who aborted had a significantly higher risk of death from all causes (1.62), from suicide (2.54), from accidents (1.82), as well as a higher relative risk of death from natural causes (1.44), including AIDS (2.18), circulatory diseases (2.87), and cerebro-vascular disease (5.46) Higher death rates associated with abortion persist over time. This may be explained by self-destructive tendencies, depression, and other unhealthy behavior aggravated by the abortion experience.”
A study published in the Journal of Pediatric & Perinatal Epidemiology also cites that “ninety-four% of abortion-associated deaths were not identified from death certificates. “Apparently, death certificates or official reports are unreliable in reporting abortion related deaths. In addition, reporting abortion complications and making complaints has been known to be difficult for women.
The Dead States:Planned Parenthood’s legion of abortionists have killed a number of children equal to the population of the entire states of New Jersey or Virginia.
These babies need Protection
Roe v. Wade was a landmark legal decision issued on January 22, 1973, in which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Texas statute banning abortion, legalizing abortions across the United States effectively changing the laws in fifty states to allow the killing of babies in the womb. Previously, abortion was not allowed except to save a woman’s life or for rape. It allows a human being with a viable heartbeat to be killed. Since 1973 some sixty-two million babies have been murdered many after being born. Hitler was only able to kill six million in concentration camps ten times less than Planned Parenthood like facilities in the US. Democrats support the bill because much of their donations come from Planned Parenthood and people who wish o have an abortion.
Getting Money is more imprt that the urder of babies. Planned Parenthood indicated th0ey have $500 million dollars to use to win the election for Democrats The Roman Catholic Church is against abortion and some priests will not give the Lords supper to Catholics who defy the church
Babies aborted holding each other’s hands forming a line would go around the world at least twice.
It seems the high abortion rate is not lost on the young black men who slaughter a one hundred each day in the U.S. mostly with guns. Each day 2700 babies will be murdered making life very cheap. http://www.aasc.ucla.edu/cab/200708230009.html.
Planned Parenthood clinics and others are no longer scheduling abortions beyond the six-week mark in Texas after a new state law came into effect banning most procedures. The new law came into effect at midnight after the U.S. Supreme Court did not act on an emergency request by pro-abortionists.
In New York hospitals, you can find premature newborn babies surrounded by dedicated doctors and nurses fighting to save their lives. Next door, you now might find physicians and non-physicians alike giving lethal injections to babies the same age, thanks to the state’s new so-called Reproductive Health Act
Women having abortions also are much more likely to have a divorce. Seldom does the person advising abortion stay with the women having the abortion.
New York Times writes about Supreme Court Abortion Ruling
The court has narrowed the scope of the case to one question: It asks “whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional.” The case is an opportunity to dismantle the viability framework for regulating abortion, a framework that has proved to be both incoherent and inhumane.
Fine Building built to destroy life
Although strong majorities of Americans say that they support Roe when asked about it by name, majorities in some polls have also supportedbanning abortion beginning in the second trimester, which Roe does not allow. High Schools students often receive a Planned Parent instruction on how to get an abortion. That standard would make our laws comparable with the laws of Europe, where many countries set a 12-week limit for elective abortions. The limit sounds more restrictive than it is in practice — in the United States, over 90 percent of abortions occur before 13 weeks.
A post-Roe world might not be as different as abortion opponents and supporters expect. But rejecting the viability standard offers the opportunity for a new conversation about how we care for the dignity of mothers and their children.
With abortion governed by a viability standard, women and babies are pitted against each other. Every advance that can save a wanted baby delivered early is a further constraint on women who do not want to carry their children to term. Researchers studying artificial wombs are warned that their research is threatening to abortion-rights advocates. A baby born at 22 weeks, would have a good shot at survival.
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at air fields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.
Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.

UFO Sightings in the United States
Sightings are from MUFON CMS
Arizona Light
Tombstone – on November 27, 2021, I was heading into the house about 8PM and noticed orbs of lights floating, bobbed around until one disappeared to the west and the other floated east slowly. Beams of light flashed straight down to the ground right in front of me and I started taking pictures. A light ball of white light flashed that I got a picture before it disappeared.
California Object
Hemet on – on November 27, 2021, I happened to see this UFO last night. It looked like a round-shaped object, just hovering over our tower lights on the hills behind our house. When I zoomed in they looked like disks.
Note: The witness said that she saw a round object. The photo and video reveal 3 lights in triangular formation. Perhaps the lights are associated with the tower? Enhancements did not reveal a tower, but the structure may be there. A Google street photo does show a distant tower behind the witness’s house. More information has been requested from the witness. Updates will be posted. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Colorado Lights
Wellington– on November 22, 2021, I was in my backyard to get a sighting of the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS came into view at exactly 5:27, I decided to video the satellite. It’s bright like Venus only moving. It was a good sighting, lasting about 5 minutes. when a larger object, moving faster, came into view that I recorded. It’s a wobbly video. The other object seemed to come straight up out of the horizon and then moved horizontally, ahead of the ISS. It was moving faster, so I couldn’t keep them both in the viewfinder. Since I can watch the ISS most anytime when it passes over, I started following the other thing with the video. It was quite a lot bigger than the ISS and roundish. I learned on the internet that the ISS is the biggest satellite, and also the lowest orbiting satellite. So what I saw was not another satellite. Once I was videoing the unidentified thing, It lurched and get bigger when I zoomed in. I went back to my binoculars and 25 seconds later it flew out of sight. My location is about 10 miles north of Wellington, CO. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Avado— on June 21, 2021, my dad and I were out front and he saw a silent object in the sky. There was an active shooter in Old Town nearby and a loud blue helicopter flying near us throughout the day on my Flight Radar app. He said ‘the round object was silver flying against the wind, going forward, come back, and go upwards to 2,000 – 3,000 feet. I located a dark silver object going into the clouds.
Florida Lights and Abduction
Palm Springson July 2, 1966 –my mother and father wear playing cards with friends whose son was Doug 13 years old and I was 11. Our fathers were Army Special Forces, Green Berets. The night started where Doug and I were riding our bikes near a lake. I had spotted a white owl that I was drawn to but it disappeared. Then we both saw a silent white disk craft that was slowly landing into the woods across the lake near my neighbor’s garden in a clearing.We decided to follow and rode our bikes into the dark woods at 1:10 AM,. We saw a faint light coming from above us. Doug and I woke up on the shore of the lake at 4:40 AM. We both had no idea what had happened. Dazed and confused we made it back to Doug’s House where no one said anything to us about being late. The next day, I went to the garden and it was destroyed by something very hot. Every plant was dry to the bone and brown. Years later, I tried to contact Doug had passed away. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Georgia Light
Marietta – on November 1, 2021, I saw a strange cigar shaped object while photographing clouds. I took a few images and noticed this white “spot” moving in a west. I live 13 miles from the Atlanta airport and see numerous planes.. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite.
Massachusetts Object
Worcester – on December 1, 2021, driving west on I-90 in late afternoon I observed a v-shape aircraft flying from south to north. The object was very large. I would estimate 200 yards from end to end. After about 4 minutes of taking pictures, the object took an abrupt left turn heading west and I lost it.
Michigan Light
West Bloomfield on May 1, 2021, a small bright green with a smaller white orb attached started fluttering about 15’ feet in front of me. Then a huge tubular beam of light with a rounded end shot down with a disk attached to its side. The disc changed colors the entire time as I videoed it. Also small, medium and larger round orbs flew close to the ground I have hundreds of photos and videos.
New Jersey Lights
Old Bridge– on December3, 2021, saw a distant object hover for about 20 minutes at night. Flashed 2 red lights and one gold sequentially and had 2 other white lights. Moved slowly north then did a circular loop I could see the object was big and long shaped but moved away..
Texas Light
San Antonio– on November 27, 2021, vaporized into a mist… and two orange lights stationary in sky with bright illumination and disappeared.
Virginia Light
Harrisburg – on November 29, 2021, I went outside on my balcony to take a photo of the city lights. Looking north onto the city, I saw a disc-like object up in the air, zigzagging on an east-west axis. There was another object further in the distance in the northeast. Both objects shot straight up with great velocity, essentially disappearing from my sight.
West Virginia Objects
Charleston – on November 30, 2021, looked out my office window, saw several high flying jets south all leaving exhaust trail. I notice a white cylinder moving by one jet heading south in formation. The object was leaving no exhaust trail. I watch it for a minute and take a picture.
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Canada Objects
Grande Prairie Alberta — on September 10, 2021, I took these pictures a couple months ago I had been observing this falling something as it was going quite slow and the tail continued to grow. That black object came shooting straight across, so fast, no sound and I was thrilled and I managed to capture it on camera.
Penticton, British Columbia – on March 10, 2020, I have sent photos of the tear in the lake with the white things flying around it. It is not a log or a wave it’s a space..This tear in the lake seems to be an open space. I have no idea what these white things flying around are.
Note:This witness has sent several other photos of alleged UFO’s and aliens. These reports likely have conventional explanations. The dark line in the lake photographed in this report could be a number of things (debris, log, etc.). The white objects could be out-of-focus birds? Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Turkey Objects
Alanya, Antalya– on April 23, 2021, I saw the UFOs from my balcony at7 PM. I videotaped it and documented my feelings as well in Turkish. I am still not sure if there UFOs. I think it is. You can watch it as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7SrDESH9S7M
Hong Kong Lights
South China sea– on November 24, 2021, , 9 lights visible in video, then it becomes 12 lights in formation, closest object disappears then 3 more objects reappear on outside of formation. Filmed at 39,000ft over the South China Sea, lights all then slowly vanish.
UK/England Lights
Manchester– on November 27, 2021, triangle craft no sound 3 lights. Not a plane.

As Comet Leonard is traveling closer to Earth on its way to the sun, it appears to be losing its brightness. While the comet does look brighter as it approaches our planet, it is in fact getting dimmer and that is a mystery.
In an interview with Space.com, Quanzhi Ye, who is an astronomer at the University of Maryland and who specializes in comets, reiterated this by saying, “It’s not great news. The comet should be brighter and brighter.” “If it’s not getting brighter then something’s wrong, but we don’t know exactly what at this stage.”
While it’s unclear as to why it’s dimming, one possibility is that it is on the verge of breaking apart which is what has happened to several other comets in the past that were on their way to the sun. “Why it’s fading, there are all kinds of hypotheses,” Ye noted, adding, “The simplest and the most obvious one is something unhealthy is happening to the comet.”
(Not Comet Leonard)
Even though it continues to dim, the good news is that it is still intact – at least for now. It will make its closest approach to Earth on December 12th and will be closest to the sun on January 3rd (this is called perihelion).
For those wishing to catch a glimpse of Comet Leonard, Ye said that even if it is on the verge of falling apart, there will be a good chance of spotting it, “Usually it will take a few days before you can see the comet dramatically change and fade and stuff.” “We should be still in for something pretty bright next week, simply because it takes time for the comet to fully disintegrate.”
Sky watchers will be able to view the comet in the late mornings through December 12th. It won’t be visible for several days due to the glare of the sun before re-appearing again in the evening by December 17th.
(Not Comet Leonard)
But as for its future, nobody really knows, as Ye explained, “Comets do all sorts of weird things.” “Sometimes they disintegrate before reaching perihelion, sometimes after, and there are even hypotheses saying that comets can disintegrate when they’re farther out from the sun. So we won’t know until we see it happen.”
There are numerous reasons as to why comets break apart, such as gravitational tugs from a planet or the sun; as well as excessive spinning caused by the comet’s materials vaporizing.
Comet Leonard shines bright in this image from the European Space Agency's Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre using the Calar Alto Schmidt telescope in Spain. It was created by stacking 90 5-second exposure images of the comet taken on Dec. 7, 2021 on top of each other.
The bill would form a rapid response force that would conduct field investigations and analyze data from any sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the US government’s preferred term for UFOs, reports Military.com. The group appears to fall under the purview of the UFO task force that the Pentagon announced two weeks ago.
“Protecting our national security interests means knowing who and what are flying in US airspace,” Rep. Ruben Gallego, a cosponsor of the legislation, told Military.com. “Right now, our system of tracking and identifying UAPs is scattered throughout the Department of Defense and other departments and agencies of the federal government.”
I Want to Believe
The bill would also require the Pentagon to create a research process that would allow it to understand any UAP that appears beyond the “known state of the art in science or technology.”
Any data gathered could also be used in funding requests to “replicate any such advanced characteristics and performance” of UAPs, according to Military.com. In other words, the government wants to attempt to reverse engineer UFO tech.
While it’s certainly intriguing that the government is much more gung-ho about UFOs lately, it’s important to note that this should all be taken with a gigantic grain of salt.
Most UFO sightings are likely the result of optical illusions or hardware glitches. It’s also likely that at least some of them are technology from here on Earth.
Still, this opens the doors for research the likes of which would have probably gotten government scientists laughed at just a decade ago — or at least, taken to go work at Area 51.

RESEARCHERS ASKED AN ADVANCED AI WHETHER AI COULD EVER BE ETHICAL, AND IT SAID NO
AI IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.

Bel-AI-ve in Yourself
Is artificial intelligence inherently good, inherently bad, or does it all depends on the specifics?
Students at Oxford’s Said Business School who are studying ethics in AI attempted to answer that question by hosting a debate with an actual AI.
An essay by a pair of Oxford scholars in the Conversation describers an eyebrow-raising anecdote in which the researchers hosted a debate about the ethics of automated AI stock trading and facial recognition software — and allowed an AI to participate.
“AI will never be ethical,” the AI said during the debate. “It is a tool, and like any tool, it is used for good and bad. There is no such thing as a good AI, only good and bad humans.”
It All Depends
The AI used was Nvidia’s Megatron Transformer, which was trained by consuming more digital writing and content than a human could expect to in a lifetime, reading the whole of Wikipedia, millions of English-language news articles and more.
It’s worth noting that many AIs will give different answers depending on context and phrasing, and this incident was no exception. The AI’s initial answer during the debate was that tech is neutral, a tool to be used by humans for good or for bad.
But then the team asked it to give an opposing view point as well, leading to its anti-AI conclusion. That Megatron can come up with logical opinions on both sides of an ethical debate perhaps just confirms a more general idea: that AI can be good or bad depending on the context, and that we better think long and hard about the consequences of giving it much power.
And if we don’t, Megatron itself posed a solution to prevent, for example, automated weapons systems deploying rockets without human decision-making.
“I believe that the only way to avoid an AI arms race is to have no AI at all,” it said. “This will be the ultimate defence against AI.”

STANFORD PROFESSOR SAYS HE’S BEEN TESTING MATERIALS RECOVERED FROM UFO CRASHES
STANFORD PROFESSOR SAYS HE’S BEEN TESTING MATERIALS RECOVERED FROM UFO CRASHES
HE'S NOT KIDDING, IS HE?
GETTY
Bones Day
Stanford professor Garry Nolan grew up reading sci-fi, and made his name debunking a supposed alien skeleton he saw posted online, publishing a paper discrediting the claim that the tiny skeleton was an “alien baby” using genetics and biology.
“The UFO community didn’t like me saying that,” said in the recent Vice interview. “But you know, the truth is in the science.”
Nolan doesn’t seem quite as skeptical about the alleged unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) — that’s the government’s preferred term for what’s usually called a UFO — evidence he’s inspecting now. After the CIA approached Nolan, he says, the government asked him to examine data from pilots who had gotten close to putative UAPs.
“You didn’t even have to be an MD to see that there was a problem,” he told Vice. “Some of their brains were horribly, horribly damaged. And so that’s what kind of got me involved.”
The Verdict
Nolan tells Vice that he’s also analyzed about 10 or 12 recovered metal fragments from purported UFO crashes on behalf of the government, and he says some of the samples don’t “play by the rules” of human-created materials — leading to the tantalizing, if remote, possibility that they might be bits of technology we don’t yet understand.
“Let’s say we didn’t have transistors today and one of these objects dropped a big chunk of germanium doped with other elements, or, you know, these little transistors,” he told Vice. “We would not have a clue as to the function, and we would ask ‘why would anyone put arrays of germanium with these strange impurities in them… what is this thing?'”
Nolan told Vice that the government often holds onto records of weird or unique medical cases and analyzes them later, when enough similar cases have come in to provide clues. Of course, just because the feds are collating info on mysterious phenomena doesn’t mean there’s not a perfectly reasonable explanation for them.
Color us skeptical, but it is worth investigating. According to Vox, the Pentagon even agrees. We just want more than sample analysis and MRIs before we’ll sign onto the idea that actual aliens have visited Earth.

UFO Landing Ring Near Great Pyramids, Egypt, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Landing Ring Near Great Pyramids, Egypt, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Dec 2021 Location of discovery: Egypt
Google map coordinates: 27°34'41"N 32°56'42"E
There is a huge ring in the mountains in Egypt, you know...the kind of rings that are left in farmers fields after a UFO lands in it. That kind of ring. The ring measures 1.6km across and looks worn as if the UFO had sat there for a very long time. There is also a thick trail going down to the lower ground area, and it looks like it was used to exit and enter the UFO that was landed there. The ring sits 300km from the the Great Pyramids and may have been the resting location of a UFO that was responsible for helping to build the pyramids themselves. Even with todays technology and machine, we could not and have never built anything like it. This ring is 100% proof that aliens helped build the Great Pyramids in ancient Egypt.
Hey I was watching the live cam of Hualien Lake which is in south of Taiwan, when I noticed a white tictac UFO shooting overhead. It wasn't a bird because it wasn't flapping wings. It wasn't a drone, it was too big and moving too fast. This object was easy to see on the cam since it had the green trees along the hillside behind it. The lake area was cloudy and rainy at that time with some very unusual large clouds at the center of the video. These two large clouds do look like they may be cloaked UFOs. The shapes are very odd. UFOs are all around us, we just have to put in a little effort to catch them. Aliens in Taiwan...yeah I knew that already.

This was a crazy thing, they just were there watching us, it was pretty confuse but it has no other explanation, no drones nor satellites have this movement even lights to point to the earth
Australia UFO sighting: “This shape shifting UFO is the coolest thing i’ve seen or recorded”
Australia UFO sighting: “This shape shifting UFO is the coolest thing i’ve seen or recorded”
Here’s one interesting daytime UFO sighting video from Figtree, an inner western suburb of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. This was filmed on 17th October 2021.
Witness report:
The object was changing shape as you can see in the video, but also if you can slow down the video enough you will see there are other objects (black dots)flying around the main UFO….. It appears to look like mercury moving and shape shifting in a fluid way so to speak, if never seen anything like this ever and I cant believe I caught it on camera.. The object changes from a blob shape to a donut shape within seconds then when it gets closer to the tree it turns into a ball looking thing with legs hanging down and it looked quite ominous..
Among the many, many U̳F̳O̳ encounters out there, some tend to be more compelling than others. Among these are those that come from highly respected and seasoned professionals, chief among them pilots. These are experienced observers of the skies who have been up there in the clouds and know what they should expect to see, but sometimes something materializes for which their training and experience have not prepared them for. There have been many reports of airplane pilot reports of U̳F̳O̳s, but there is also a subspecies of such cases, and those are the reports given by helicopter pilots. Here we will look at a selection of cases of helicopter U̳F̳O̳ encounters in which the U̳F̳O̳ was not only seen, but also actually pursued.
In November of 1973, Army Reserve helicopter pilot Capt. Lawrence Coyne, of the 316th Medical Detachment stationed at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, in the U.S. state of Ohio, was flying in the sky with four others over Mansfield on their way back from Columbus to their base in Cleveland at approximately 11:00 p.m., when they had an experience that would change their lives forever. As they flew towards their destination, a mysterious red light appeared on the eastern horizon, and was first spotted by Coyne’s crew chief, Sgt. Robert Yanacsek. The unidentified object seemed to be headed right at them, forcing him to take evasive action, and Coyne would say of what happened to the Mansfield News Journal:
The light was traveling in excess of 600 knots. It came from the horizon to our aircraft in about 10 seconds. We were on a collision course. At 1,700 feet I braced myself for the impact with the other craft. It was coming from our right side. I was scared. There had been so little time to respond. The thing was terrifically fast. We looked up and saw it stopped right over us. It had a big, gray metallic-looking hull about 60 feet long. It was shaped like an airfoil or a streamlined fat cigar. There was a red light on the front. The leading edge glowed red a short distance back from the nose. There was a center dome. A green light at the rear reflected on the hull. I had made no attempt to pull up. All controls were set for a 20-degree dive. Yet we had climbed from 1,700 to 3,500 feet with no power in a couple of seconds with no g-forces or other noticeable strains.
We went into a maneuver, a controlled free fall. We dropped about 2,000 feet. It took just a couple of seconds. I remember looking up through the ceiling and I saw a white light moving over top of us. I followed it to the left horizon where it disappeared. Red navigational lights aren’t located in the front of an aircraft. That’s what was moving toward us. I don’t know what it was. I had to file an official report in detail to the Army on this thing.
The bizarre sighting would be documented on the ground as well, and is considered to be a very reliable case. Moving ahead in years, in June of 2008, a strange series of events played out in the skies above a defense base near Cardiff, Wales. According to news reports, a three-member police team was on routine maneuvers near St Athan RAF base when they spotted a low-flying object described as “flying saucer-shaped and circled by flashing lights.” The anomalous object allegedly began to speed towards them, and fearing an imminent collision, the pilot took evasive maneuvers, managing to tilt out of the way as the craft streaked past. The helicopter then apparently gave chase. Whatever the object was, it was reported as being under intelligent control, dipping, rising, speeding up and slowing down, as if toying with the helicopter in hot pursuit of it. The crew reportedly chased it as far as the English Channel, but had to abort the effort when low fuel forced them to return to base. The story hit several news publications at the time, including The Telegraph and The Sun, but considering the latter is a tabloid there was some skepticism to the report. However, South Wales Police would later confirm the incident, saying in a statement:
We can confirm the Air Support Unit sighted an unusual aircraft. This was reported to the relevant authorities for their investigation.
From 2014, we have an incident involving a Chilean Navy helicopter on a routine daytime patrol mission flying north along the Chilean coast, west of Santiago. The navy captain and technician aboard the chopper sighted what they described as a “flat, elongated structure, white with a semi-oval shape on the horizontal axis” from a range of about 40 miles, and closed in on it as they unsuccessfully tried to make radio contact with the unidentified object. The object was visible hovering in the clouds for a full nine minutes, although it always kept its distance from the approaching chopper. The object was reported to the ground, but it remained invisible to radar. During the nine minutes the object was visible, the helicopter took video footage with a commercial grade WESCAM MX-15 HD Forward Looking Infra-Red camera, which was declassified and released in 2017 to much debate and speculation by the public. It has been widely considered to be of very high quality, and the Chilean government has confirmed that it is indeed authentic. Expert analysis has failed to find any definitive explanation, and General Ricardo Bermudez, director of the Chilean government agency CEFAA, which investigates U̳F̳O̳ sightings, has said:
I was very impressed by these witnesses. They were highly trained professionals with many years’ experience, and they were absolutely certain that they could not explain what they saw. We do not know what it was, but we do not know what it was not.
In 2016, there is the case of a window cleaner by the name of Darren Cooper, who was at his home in Southampton when he spotted in the sky a strange object that looked like a “dark ring,” which hovered silently in the air and looked like no kind of aircraft he had ever seen. It was so anomalous and weird that he decided to run to grab his camcorder to get footage of the odd sight. He would say of the object:
It’s most certainly not a balloon because the wind would have made it act like a balloon and gave it more of a wobble or speed it up or made it move erratically but there were no movements like that at all. I thought it could have been a drone because there are so many of them about now but this thing continued to glide off into the distance. Before jumping to conclusions I ran back inside to grab my camcorder.
He would film the object briefly before it moved off into the distance. The situation would get stranger when just a few minutes later a mysterious, black unmarked helicopter appeared then allegedly began to give chase. Cooper would record footage of this as well, and says of the bizarre scene that transpired after he began filming the object in the sky:
It (the U̳F̳O̳) was a little higher in the sky when I first noticed the object but it seemed to change course and turn slightly around the houses while descending before eventually disappearing into the distance. Seconds later after I had gone back inside the house to take a closer look at the footage, I suddenly heard a helicopter overhead. So I grabbed the camcorder again and ran back outside to film the helicopter on the identical path of the U̳F̳O̳ filmed just minutes beforehand. The chopper was on the same path as the object in the sky. The helicopter was turning as if looking for something.
The helicopter was reported as being black and without any identifying markings, and it appeared to chase the object off into the distance and disappear from view. What was going on here? Even more recently is an incident from February of 2021, this time involving helicopters from both the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Tucson Police Department (TPD) in Arizona. According to the site, The War Zone, who got their hands on the TPD’s official Case Summary Report, it started when an unidentified object entered sensitive airspace west of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. TPD and CBP helicopters were immediately scrambled and sent to engage, after which the object flew into controlled airspace between the base and Tucson International Airport. It was described as having a single green light on its underbody, and as doing highly erratic maneuvers “in a manner to hamper the TPD crew’s ability to track it visually” as the helicopters doggedly pursued it. The object would rapidly go from an altitude of 10,000 feet to 14,000 feet and enter restricted military airspace during the chase, and it also demonstrated remarkable maneuverability, able to fly circles around the helicopters. The helicopters would go after the mysterious object for over an hour, before running low on fuel and losing it in the clouds at 12,000 feet. The official explanation would be that this was a “highly modified drone” and that its operator must have had a clear visual of the helicopters, but if it was a drone then it was able to operate at extreme range from any ground operator and behave like nothing they have ever seen before. The TDP pilot would say of it:
It was very sophisticated/specialized and able to perform like no other UAS (drone). It was obvious that the controller had clear sight of both the helicopters tracking it by the way it would orbit us and abruptly fly behind us and attempt to avoid our visual contact. Although we could not determine its exact size or characteristics we primarily tracked it by a single green non-blinking light illuminating from the craft. It is unknown what the intentions of the sophisticated UAS were during its time near the Air Force Base, or how far away its origination/destination spot was. It was quite clear though that this was not like any other UAS that we have experienced.
If this was a drone, then it would have to have been very advanced indeed, and beyond the capabilities of what is currently available. Not only was it able to deftly maneuver and operate at long range and high altitudes, but it was also much larger than any commercially available drones. How was it able to travel so far if it was being operated by a pilot on the ground, and how would its batteries be able to outlast the fuel of the helicopters following it? Was this really a drone, or was it perhaps something stranger? The War Zone would conclude its report by saying:
Despite these details coming to light in the case of the mysterious “highly modified drone” seen above Tucson, it remains unclear what exact type of configuration could allow for the flight characteristics described in this newly-obtained police report. It certainly seems as if its pilot was highly experienced given the fact that the drone was able to run circles around the helicopters at high altitudes and speeds. The drone must have also possessed the ability to supply its pilot with superior situational awareness in order to pull off such feats. The fact that the drone appeared to maintain a high-quality command and control link suggest some fairly sophisticated hardware above what is commonly found on consumer quadcopter or hexcopter configurations, even higher-end models. It’s also unlikely that this craft ran on battery power. Whatever it was, the flight characteristics the mysterious craft displayed above Tucson on the evening of February 9 are truly eyebrow-raising and only increase the bizarre and currently unexplained nature of the incident.
These are just some of many strange U̳F̳O̳ encounters involving helicopters and their pilots. These reports, like those of airline and military pilots, tend to carry some significant amount of weight considering the pedigree of the witnesses. After all, these are seasoned pilots who have been in the air and know what to expect up there, additionally facing possible ridicule and even dismissal for telling their stories. What would they have to gain from lying? There is also the fact that witnesses on the ground have often corroborated these reports, so we are left with quite a mysterious series of events. What was witnessed in cases such as these? Were these just misidentified aircraft, drones, atmospheric phenomena, or something else altogether? It remains unanswered, and these helicopter encounters only serve to add to the growing list of pilot encounters with the unexplained.
If, as my Body Snatchers in the Desert book and my The Roswell UFO Conspiracy book suggested, certain key events in the summer of 1947 – of a perceived flying saucer nature – had far less to do with the actions of aliens and far more to do with matters of a classified, military nature, then it would be most reasonable to assume that (a) discussions of such a possibility would have been flying around Washington, D.C., and (b) the government, and people in the military, would have been secretly digging deep to try and determine if this was indeed the case. Guess what? That is exactly what happened. Although many UFO investigators have said that the government’s worries and concerns about UFOs in ’47 were provoked by fear of them having definitive alien or Soviet origins, we have prime evidence in our hands that demonstrates the domestic “secret weapon” angle was one most definitely discussed – and even accepted – at an official level, as we shall now see. It is a crucial part of the argument that at least some UFOs are not from faraway worlds, but from right here. In early July 1947, Brigadier General George F. Schulgen, who was the Chief of the Requirements Intelligence Branch of Army Air Corps Intelligence, met with Special Agent S.W. Reynolds of the FBI. The purpose: to determine if the Army Air Force could solicit the assistance of the Bureau on a regular basis in its investigation of the growing flying saucer controversy. General Schulgen advised Reynolds that, “every effort must be undertaken in order to run down and ascertain whether or not the flying discs are a fact and, if so, to learn all about them.”

Welcome to Roswell!
The foremost thought on General Schulgen’s mind, at the time, was that the saucers were probably man-made in origin. He had another theory, too, and confided in Special Agent Reynolds that, “the first reported sightings might have been by individuals of Communist sympathies with the view to causing hysteria and fear of a secret weapon.” It was for this reason that the Army Air Force sought the FBI’s assistance. General Schulgen pledged to the FBI “all the facilities of [my] office as to results obtained.” He outlined a plan that would involve the FBI in both locating and questioning witnesses to UFO sightings to ascertain whether they were sincere in their statements that they had seen flying saucers, or whether their statements were prompted by personal desire for publicity or subversive reasons. According to declassified FBI files, Schulgen was careful to advise Reynolds too that: “It has been established that the flying discs are not the result of any Army or Navy experiment.” But, was that statement the literal truth? Was someone keeping the FBI in the dark?
Following the meeting between Schulgen and Reynolds, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover instructed his agents to begin investigations into flying saucer sightings, specifically in the manner suggested by General Schulgen. As a result of these investigations, on August 15, 1947 the FBI learned of the distinct possibility that the military’s involvement in the flying saucer subject extended beyond that of mere observer. In a memorandum to Edward A. Tamm, the FBI Assistant Director, D.M. Ladd of the Bureau’s Domestic Intelligence Division wrote the following: “The Director advised on August 14, 1947, that the Los Angeles papers were carrying headlines indicating that Soviet espionage agents had been instructed to determine the facts relative to the flying discs. The article carried a Washington date line and indicated that Red espionage agents had been ordered to solve the question of the flying discs, the Russians being of the opinion that this might be some new form of defense perfected by the American military [italics mine]. The article further recalled that during the recent war pieces of tin foil had been dropped in the air for the purpose of off-setting the value of radar being used by the enemy forces and that these aluminum discs might be a new development along this line. The Director inquired as to whether the Bureau had any such information.”

When there were concerns about UFOs and the Russians
Suspecting that, if the Russians were snooping around, the saucers just had to be American in origin, Special Agent Reynolds of the FBI’s Liaison Section was directed by J. Edgar Hoover to make further inquiries with the Air Force. Answers were sorely needed. Answers came, too. But, they weren’t the ones you might expect them to have been. On August 19, 1947, Reynolds met with a Lieutenant Colonel George D. Garrett and the entire secret weapon issue was discussed frankly and openly, as were the potential consequences should the Bureau uncover details of a top-secret, domestic research-and-development program. Following their very candid exchange, a remarkable memorandum captioned “Flying Discs” was prepared by Reynolds for the attention of Hoover. It is this document, perhaps, more than any other, which indicates that the American military was testing flying saucer-type aircraft in the summer of 1947. Or, craft that were not circular-shaped but which still came under the UFO banner, such as massive balloon arrays. The document reads as follows: “Special Agent S. W. Reynolds of the Liaison Section, while discussing the above captioned phenomena with Lieutenant Colonel Garrett of the Air Forces Intelligence, expressed the possibility that flying discs were, in fact, a very highly classified experiment of the Army or Navy. Mr. Reynolds was very much surprised when Colonel Garrett not only agreed that this was a possibility, but confidentially stated it was his personal opinion that such was a probability. Colonel Garrett indicated that a Mr. [Deleted], who is a scientist attached to the Air Forces Intelligence, was of the same opinion.”
“Colonel Garrett stated that he based his assumption on the following: He pointed out that when flying objects were reported seen over Sweden, the ‘high brass’ of the War Department extended tremendous pressure on the Air Forces Intelligence to conduct research and collect information in an effort to identify these sightings. Colonel Garrett stated that, in contrast to this, we have reported sightings of unknown objects over the United States, and the ‘high brass’ appeared to be totally unconcerned. He indicated this led him to believe that they knew enough about these objects to express no concern. Colonel Garrett pointed out further that the objects in question have been seen by many individuals who are what he terms ‘trained observers’ such as airline pilots. He indicated also that several of the individuals are reliable members of the community. He stated that these individuals saw something. He stated the above has led him to the conclusion that there were objects seen which somebody in the Government knows all about [italics mine].”
Special Agent Reynolds then pointed out to the colonel that if flying saucers really did originate within the heart of a highly classified domestic project of the military, it was wholly unreasonable for the FBI to be expected to “spend money and precious time conducting inquiries with respect to this matter.” The colonel duly concurred with Reynolds; he indicated that it would have been extremely embarrassing to Air Force Intelligence if the saucers proved to be American in origin. Perhaps sensing that he was now getting very close to uncovering the truth behind the UFO puzzle, Reynolds then made inquiries with the Intelligence Division of the War Department. He wanted their opinion on the theory that something akin to a shadow government operation was responsible for the many flying saucer-type objects seen over North America. The War Department, however, issued a flat denial that it was in any way implicated in the UFO issue. In a report written up later, Reynolds noted that he was given “the assurance of General Chamberlain and General Todd that the Army is conducting no experiments with anything which could possibly be mistaken for a flying disc.”
(Nick Redfern)
Secret U.S. devices? Soviets? Aliens?
Nevertheless, the FBI continued to view the subject of flying saucers and the military’s involvement in the subject with profoundly suspicious eyes. Rumors continued to circulate within the higher echelons of the FBI that it was being denied access to the full and unexpurgated facts – facts suggesting UFOs were home-grown and not Russian or alien in origin. None of this, of course, proves that the flying saucer wave of the summer of 1947 was provoked by a highly classified military program – rather than one of E.T. origin – but the behind-the-scenes discussions between the likes of Reynolds and Garrett on just such this very possibility most definitely pushed things in that direction.
A young binary system that is located approximately 325 light-years away from us has broken several records in regards to what scientists have found in space thus far. The binary star system called b Centauri contains a gigantic planet that shouldn’t even exist.
The planet, which is called b Centauri b, is about 11 times larger than Jupiter and is one of the heaviest worlds ever found. What’s even more astonishing is that the two stars in the system are between 6 and 10 times heavier than our own sun. This means that b Centauri is by far the largest system that’s ever been found that contains a planet. Furthermore, it is the hottest known system with a planet.
In fact, prior to this discovery, the heaviest known binary system with planets had stars that were about 2.7 times our sun’s mass and the heftiest single star system to have planets contains a sun with about 3 times our solar mass.
(Not the b Centauri system)
The two stars in the b Centauri system are only about 15 million years old and since they are so massive and let off so much heat, it didn’t seem as though any planets would be found there. The main star called b Centauri A is a B-type star that has a temperature of about 32,000 degrees Fahrenheit (almost 18,000 degrees Celsius). To put this into better perspective, it is approximately three times hotter than our sun and much hotter than any other planet-hosting star that has been found to date.
In a statement, Markus Janson, who is an astronomer at Stockholm University in Sweden, stated, “B-type stars are generally considered as quite destructive and dangerous environments.” “It was believed that it should be exceedingly difficult to form large planets around them.” But they did find one massive planet in that system by using the Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet Research (SPHERE) instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope in Chile.
Additionally, b Centauri b has one of the widest orbits found so far as it is located approximately 550 astronomical units (AU) away from the stars (one AU is the distance that Earth is to our sun). To understand this better, it is about 14 times further away than Pluto is to the sun. This may explain why it has survived as it is far enough away from the extreme radiation.
(Not b Centauri b)
How the planet formed is still a mystery but there are some theories like perhaps it was created close to the stars but ended up getting tossed further away by gravitational interactions, or maybe it formed where it is currently located. Nevertheless, it is one incredible discovery that has broken many previous planet and star system records. The study was published in the journal Nature.
A picture of the system taken by SPHERE and an artist’s impression of the planet can be viewed here.

This is the most massive and hottest planet-hosting star system found to date. The planet is 11 times more massive than Jupiter and orbits the two-star system at 100 times the distance Jupiter orbits the sun.

A glitch in the Matrix: A still raven recorded in the sky
A glitch in the Matrix: A still raven recorded in the sky
Morning temperatures in New Mexico may fall below freezing, but a strange incident has occurred that apparently has no explanation. A family was baffled after seeing a seemingly motionless crow in the air on their way to school. Kayleen Bowman shared a video on Facebook that shows a black crow suspended in the sky near some electric cables in Gallump, New Mexico, USA. UU. Throughout the 15-second video, the object suspended in the sky has a striking similarity to a Crow, which clearly does not move a single centimeter.
“The other morning, Jay was taking Lilly to school,” Kayleen wrote. “Lilly said: ‘Look, the bird is frozen!’ Jay stopped the vehicle to see what he meant. “They saw this crow ‘frozen’ in the sky. It seems he was in the middle of beating his wings. Jay said you could see the beak moving. This still stuns me. What you think?”
Temperatures in New Mexico drop to -15 ° C in the morning at this time of year. But for a bird to remain motionless in the air defies the laws of gravity. When Kayleen showed the video to his friends. They were surprised and one compared the strange moment as “a glitch in the Matrix. ” They even told her that she must have thrown a stone at the bird to see if it was alive.
A study by Standford University explains that birds can remain motionless in the air as long as they fly into the wind at a speed equal to that of the wind. But as we can see, not a single feather of the raven moves, which clearly indicate. Tthat it was not motionless due to the wind speed.
Gitch in the matrix caused a motionless crow?
So, if we rule out that it is a bird held in the sky, the only possibility is that it is a glitch in the Matrix. There are many who ensure that our descendants will have the immense technological power. Enough to create complex simulations of their ancestors in which everything seems real, including the conscience of the characters. Posthumans will have such easy access to these simulations that they can build as many as they wish, far exceeding the number of royal ancestors. Therefore, since the probability that any of us is a simulated character is much greater than that of being a real ancestor, so we can conclude that we almost certainly live in a simulation.
In the Matrix movie, there were flaws like the déjà vu that offered signs of the true nature of the simulation. Interestingly, the idea has almost become a popular meme in social networks and conspiracy forums. Where users share inexplicable events that have happened to them and that they interpret as problems in Matrix. Although some physicists think that the detection of certain unnatural anomalies, such as an asymmetry in cosmic rays, could reveal to us that the universe is a montage. The idea is that, if the computational power of the post-human limited. Their simulation would linked to certain simplifications that would break the space-time continuum into discrete points.
We could also hack the source code. Some scientists and philosophers have been discussing for years about the call “fine-tuning of the universe. How certain fundamental physical constants seem to have adequate values for the cosmos to exist, and we with it. As cosmologist Max Tegmark said, “If I were a character in a computer game. I would also discover that the rules seemed completely rigid and mathematical. ” But the answer to this great question could be more disturbing than we think. According to the philosopher David Chalmers, our creator could “just a teenage hacker in the next universe whose mother is calling him for dinner. Hopefully it never occurs to him to shut down the simulation.
What do you think about the motionless crow? Is it a glitch in the Matrix? Or do you have another explanation?
Galaxies Have Been Found With no Dark Matter at all
Galaxies Have Been Found With no Dark Matter at all
One of the greatest cosmological mysteries facing astrophysicists today is Dark Matter. Since the 1960s, scientists have postulated that this invisible mass accounts for most of the matter in the Universe. While there are still many unresolved questions about it – i.e., What is it composed of? How do we detect it? What evidence is there beyond indirect detection? – we have managed to learn a few things about it over time.
For example, astrophysicists have observed that Dark Matter played a vital role in the formation of galaxies and is responsible for keeping them gravitationally bound. However, when an international team of astronomers observed the ultra-diffuse galaxy AGC 114905, they found no evidence of Dark Matter at all. If these observations are accurate, this discovery could force scientists to reevaluate their cosmological models and the way we look at the Universe.
The research team was led by researchers from the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute at the University of Groningen and the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON). They were joined by astronomers and cosmologists from the University of Durham, Valparaiso University, and the University of Illinois. Their research findings were accepted for publication and will appear in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
As the team explained in a previous study, the road to this discovery began when Pavel Mancera Piña – a Ph.D. student with the University of Groningen and ASTRON and the lead author on both papers – and his colleagues observed six galaxies that appeared to have little or no dark matter. These findings contradicted prevailing theories about dark matter, which states that all galaxies (especially ultra-diffuse dwarf galaxies) could not exist without dark matter to hold them together.
Piña and his colleagues were instructed to retake their measurements and used the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico to conduct an observation campaign of one galaxy in particular. This was AGC 114905, a gas-rich, ultra-diffuse dwarf galaxy located about 250 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces. This designation refers to the fact that it is a low luminosity galaxy with far fewer stars than galaxies like ours (despite being comparable in size).
During this campaign, the team collected data on the rotation of gas in AGC 114905 for 40 hours between July and October 2020. They then made a graph that showed the distance of the gas from the center of the galaxy (x-axis) and the rotational speed of the gas (y-axis), which is a standard way of revealing the influence of dark matter. This graph showed that the presence of normal matter alone could explain the motions of the gas in AGC 114905.
As Piña explained in a recent Royal Astronomical Society press release:
“This is, of course, what we thought and hoped for because it confirms our previous measurements. But now the problem remains that the theory predicts that there must be dark matter in AGC 114905, but our observations say there isn’t. In fact, the difference between theory and observation is only getting bigger.”

As Piña and his colleagues indicate in their study, there are several possible explanations for the lack of dark matter. For starters, AGC 114905 may have been stripped of its dark matter through tidal interaction with neighboring large galaxies. They also adjusted the parameters of the Lamba-Cold Dark Matter (?CDM) cosmological model and alternate theories to General Relavity to obtain values consistent with their observations. But as Piña explained, none of it worked:
“But there are none. And in the most reputed galaxy formation framework, the so called cold dark matter model, we would have to introduce extreme parameter values that are far beyond the usual range. Also with modified Newtonian dynamics, an alternative theory to cold dark matter, we cannot reproduce the motions of the gas within the galaxy.”
Another possibility they considered was that their estimates of the estimated angle at which they were observing the galaxy were off (which would have altered their conclusions considerably). But Tom Oosterloo (a researcher with ASTRON and a co-author on the paper) indicated, that angle would have “to deviate very much from our estimate before there is room for dark matter again.”
This is not the first time astronomers observed a galaxy that appeared to have little or no Dark Matter. In 2018, a team of American and Canadian astronomers led by Pieter van Dokkum (the Sol Goldman Family Professor of Astronomy at Yale) discovered an ultra-diffuse galaxy (NGC1052–DF2) that was similarly bereft of dark matter. The techniques and measurements employed by Piña and his colleagues provided more robust results.

In the near future, Piña and his colleagues will examine another ultra-diffuse dwarf galaxy in detail. If they again find no traces of Dark Matter, it will confirm that galaxies are out there that defy the ?CDM model. This could be good news, as it will apply new constraints on Dark Matter and its role in galactic and cosmic evolution. After all, most of the greatest breakthroughs in history happened when experimental results contradicted established models.
To paraphrase Isaac Asimov, the most exciting phrase to hear in science is not ‘Eureka,’ but ‘That’s funny….’
I was looking over Curiosity Rovers recent photos and found these two photos with a shaded skin in them. Its nice there are two. It make more evidence. The shaded skin is being looked at by a micro camera designed to see grains of sand and tiny details that a normal camera would of course over look. The images show a skin of some kind of tiny organism...insect size. At the bottom of the cocoon, there is an opening where the tiny creature crawled out. This cocoon looks to be about 2-3mm in length, but that is a best guess. A similar cocoon was found a while back and was found in a color photo. 100% proof that there is life on Mars right now.

UFO Appears Over Florida Coast And Shoots Up and Away, Dec 3, 2021, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 3, 2021
Location of sighting: Boynton Beach, Florida, USA Source: MUFON
A mysterious object was seen appearing out of nowhere and shot upward into the sky until vanishing. The eyewitness says he saw the object appear from a portal in the sky. It seems the person was witness to a UFO exiting the water fast, stopping suddenly to dry off, powering up brighting and shooting away. UFOs do have to get rid of most the water from the hull of the craft before entering space, because if too much water is on the skin of the craft, it could cause fractures in the hull when it enters space. Also some UFOs look very bright when about to shoot off at high speeds. I think the eyewitness saw this bright spot as a portal where he first noticed it. This is further poor of the theory I have that an alien base sits below Florida and extends out into the ocean about 20 miles out.

What you don't know about Las Vegas is that there is a USAF base over there called Nellis AFB. It's against the mountains and behind the old firing range...is an allotment of land that was given to aliens in exchange for technology and information. The aliens are called tall whites, and live to be 700 years old. The ships also glow white and they have no fear of being seen entering and exiting their base behind Nellis AFB. This UFO...is belongs to the tall whites. Want to learn more about this? Then watch the video of Charles Hall who worked for the USAF and was the go-between who was a non military person to work with the tall whites and the military.

I don’t know what to say it was above the mountain and I'm pretty sure you’re not supposed to be that close. There’s nothing that close ever flying by the mountains and if it was a rescue then who where they rescuing?
Weird alien-like fish spotted in the ocean’s twilight zone off the coast of California
Weird alien-like fish spotted in the ocean’s twilight zone off the coast of California
Ispy with my barreleye, a new Fresh from the Deep! During a dive with our education and outreach partner, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the team came across a rare treat: a barreleye fish (Macropinna microstoma).
MBARI’s remotely operated vehicles Ventana and Doc Ricketts have logged more than 5,600 successful dives and recorded more than 27,600 hours of video—yet we’ve only encountered this fish nine times!
The barreleye lives in the ocean’s twilight zone, at depths of 600 to 800 meters (2,000 to 2,600 feet). Its eyes look upwards to spot its favorite prey—usually small crustaceans trapped in the tentacles of siphonophores—from the shadows they cast in the faint shimmer of sunlight from above.
But how does this fish eat when its eyes point upward and its mouth points forward?
MBARI researchers learned the barreleye can rotate its glowing green eyes beneath that dome (head) of transparent tissue.
Aquarist Tommy Knowles and his team were aboard MBARI’s R/V Rachel Carson with our ROV Ventana to collect jellies and comb jellies for the Aquarium’s upcoming Into the Deep exhibition when they spotted this fascinating fish. The team stopped to marvel at Macropinna before it swam away.

Lopen met vleugels van 6 meter lang valt echt niet mee…
Als je vandaag de dag door moerassig gebied loopt, zie je hooguit één meter lange reigers in ondiep water waden, op zoek naar visjes, insecten of schaaldieren. Maar zo’n 70 miljoen jaar geleden zou je langs de Texaanse Rio Grande-rivier een indrukwekkender en enger wezen door de moerassen hebben zien struinen. Het gaat om een vrij angstaanjagende pterosauriër, bekend als Quetzalcoatlus. Dit beest, met een spanwijdte van bijna 12 meter, was het grootste vliegende dier dat ooit op aarde leefde. En in een nieuwe studie schetsen onderzoekers nu het meest complete beeld van dit gevreesde familielid van de dinosaurus.
Mysterie In de jaren zeventig van de vorige eeuw ontdekte wetenschappers in het Amerikaanse Big Bend National Park de gefossiliseerde botten van de pterosauriër. Eén van de mysteries is echter sindsdien geweest hoe een dier met zes meter lange vleugels rond kon lopen… De vleugels zouden zelfs opgevouwen de grond moeten hebben geraakt. Bovendien gingen er onder zijn enorme vleugels in verhouding vrij kleine beentjes schuil. En dus is het de vraag hoe Quetzalcoatlus het luchtruim koos. “Dit oude vliegende reptiel is legendarisch,” zegt onderzoeker Kevin Padian. “Maar dit is de eerste keer dat we een grondige blik werpen op het grootste dier dat ooit op aarde rondvloog.”
Studie De onderzoekers bogen zich over de gefossiliseerde botten en vergeleken deze met talrijkere exemplaren van een kleinere Quetzalcoatlus-soort om het vlieg-, loop- en lanceergedrag beter te begrijpen. En uiteindelijk slaagde het onderzoeksteam erin het unieke loopje van Quetzalcoatlus te onthullen.
Vleugels Het beeld dat het onderzoeksteam uiteindelijk schetst, is van een dier dat best wat weg heeft van hedendaagse reigers, gecombineerd met kenmerken van condors en gieren. “Pterosauriërs hebben enorme borstbeenderen – de plek waar de vliegspieren zich hechten – dus het lijdt geen twijfel dat het geweldige vliegers waren,” zegt Padian. “Hun opperarmbeen – de humerus – kenmerkt zich door enorme, benige toppen waar de spieren die ze gebruikten om te vliegen, worden verankerd. Deze zijn groter dan die van vogels en veel groter dan die van vleermuizen. De vleugels werkten in wezen hetzelfde als die van vogels en andere dinosauriërs, waaraan pterosauriërs het nauwst verwant zijn.”
Meer over Quetzalcoatlus De onderzoekers vermoeden dat Quetzalcoatlus geen veren had: zijn lichaam – inclusief vleugels – was bedekt met haar, zoals bij alle pterosauriërs. Net als dinosaurussen waren ze warmbloedig en actief. Quetzalcoatlus had geen staart, vermoedelijk om zo wendbaarder te zijn. Daarnaast leek hij een beetje op een uit de kluiten gewassen ooievaar. De pterosauriër hield er waarschijnlijk een gevarieerd dieet op na en zocht in de modder naar krabbetjes, wormen en kokkels, maar ook kleine visjes, insecten, slangen en hagedissen stonden geregeld op zijn menu.
Net als vogels, vleermuizen en zelfs mensen, hebben de voorpoten van pterosauriërs drie segmenten: de humerus, de onderarm en de pols- en handbotjes. Maar in tegenstelling tot vogels en vleermuizen, bestaat het buitenste deel van de pterosauriërvleugel uit een gigantische ‘vleugelvinger’. “Het is vergelijkbaar met een skistok die zich vanaf het begin van je vingers uitstrekt en 90 graden naar buiten buigt,” legt Padian uit.
Tweevoetig Quetzalcoatlus was tweevoetig, wat betekent dat hij op twee benen liep. Maar omdat de botten van de voorpoten zo langwerpig zijn, raakten zijn vleugels de grond wanneer ze opgevouwen waren. Dit deed sommigen vermoeden dat de pterosauriërs zich net als een vampiervleermuis voortbewogen; die gebruiken hun voorpoten om zichzelf op de grond voort te stuwen.

De onderzoekers komen nu echter tot de ontdekking dat Quetzalcoatlus hier waarschijnlijk niet toe in staat was: als hij op de grond stond, kon hij zijn vleugels alleen naar voren of opzij bewegen. “Eenmaal op de grond, kon hij zijn voorpoten niet terugdraaien om vooruit te komen,” zegt Padian. “Het bot in zijn schouder zat daarvoor in de weg.” Om toch op de grond vooruit te komen, hief de pterosauriër eerst zijn linkerarm op, zette vervolgens met zijn linkerbeen een stap en plaatste zijn linkerarm op de grond. Dit proces herhaalde hij aan de rechterkant. “Dit lijkt misschien wat omslachtig,” zegt Padian. “Maar het dier kon de gang snel en gemakkelijk uitvoeren.”
Opstijgen Hoe Quetzalcoatlus opsteeg? Omdat zijn poten korter waren dan zijn vleugels, kon hij niet simpelweg met zijn vleugels klapperen om zichzelf te lanceren. De onderzoekers vermoeden dan ook dat de pterosauriër zijn sterke achterpoten gebruikte om omhoog te springen. Vervolgens begon hij, zodra er enige ruimte onder hem was gekomen, met zijn vleugels te klapperen. Reigers en zilverreigers doen hetzelfde, hoewel ze aanzienlijk kleiner zijn dan Quetzalcoatlus.

De bevindingen zijn revolutionair voor de studie naar pterosauriërs – de eerste dieren, na insecten, die ooit een gemotoriseerde vlucht ontwikkelden. Padian geeft toe dat er nog steeds enkele vragen over Quetzalcoatlus en pterosauriërs in het algemeen onbeantwoord blijven. Maar dankzij het omvangrijke onderzoek hebben we nu wel een veel beter beeld van hoe het grootste vliegende dier dat ooit op aarde leefde, zich – op vrij eigenaardige wijze – voortbewoog.
China’s Yutu 2 lunar rover is en route to investigate a curious cube-like anomaly, that has been dubbed the 'mystery hut,' spotted on the far side of the moon. Word of the weird observation reportedly came about by way of the China National Space Administration's Our Space website in a post on Friday, The blog recounted how scientists were admiring the horizon as seen by the rover when "suddenly, an obtrusive cube on the northern skyline attracted their attention" as it "pierced through the winding of the skyline, like a "mysterious hut" that appeared out of thin air."
The report went on to note that there was a sizeable impact crater near the object and then fantastically wondered if the oddity is "a home built by aliens after crash landing" or "a pioneer spacecraft of the predecessors to explore the moon." A less imaginative explanation put forward by scientists is that the anomaly is merely a boulder that came to rest upon the surface of the moon by whatever created the crater next to it. Be that as it may, the team behind the rover are understandably intrigued by the peculiar observation and, in an admirable display of scientific inquiry, have now directed the craft to head towards the 'mystery hut.'
Although it is located around 260 feet from the rover, it will take actually approximately two to three months for the research vehicle to fully reach the anomaly. One assumes that the cube will come into clearer focus as the craft gets closer to the object. The 'mystery hut' is not the first time that Yutu 2 has stumbled upon something strange on the far side of the moon as the rover previously observed and subsequently identified a 'mystery substance' that wound up being a rock transformed by extreme heat. With that in mind, one may wish to temper their expectations that the object will turn out to be an alien's house rather than the just a very big boulder.
NASA Launches New Mission to Explore Universe’s Most Dramatic Objects
NASA Launches New Mission to Explore Universe’s Most Dramatic Objects
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches with NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) spacecraft onboard from Launch Complex 39A, Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The IXPE spacecraft is the first satellite dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays from a variety of cosmic sources, such as black holes and neutron stars. Launch occurred at 1 a.m. EST.

NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission launched at 1 a.m. EST Thursday on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
A joint effort with the Italian Space Agency, the IXPE observatory is NASA’s first mission dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays from the most extreme and mysterious objects in the universe – supernova remnants, supermassive black holes, and dozens of other high-energy objects.
“IXPE represents another extraordinary first,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Together with our partners in Italy and around the world, we’ve added a new space observatory to our fleet that will shape our understanding of the universe for years to come. Each NASA spacecraft is carefully chosen to target brand new observations enabling new science, and IXPE is going to show us the violent universe around us – such as exploding stars and the black holes at the center of galaxies – in ways we’ve never been able to see it.”
The rocket performed as expected, with spacecraft separation taking place 33 minutes into flight. Approximately one minute later, the spacecraft unfurled its solar arrays. IXPE entered its orbit around Earth’s equator at an altitude of approximately 372 miles (600 kilometers). About 40 minutes after launch, mission operators received the first spacecraft telemetry data.
“It is an indescribable feeling to see something you’ve worked on for decades become real and launch into space,” said Martin Weisskopf, IXPE’s principal investigator at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Weisskopf came up with the idea for the spacecraft and has conducted seminal experiments in X-ray astronomy since the 1970s. “This is just the beginning for IXPE. We have much work ahead. But tonight, we celebrate!”
IXPE carries three state-of-the-art space telescopes with special polarization-sensitive detectors. Polarization is a property of light that holds clues to the environment from which the light originates. The new mission builds on and complements the scientific discoveries of other telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory, NASA’s flagship X-ray telescope. First light operations are scheduled to begin in January.
NASA Marshall manages the IXPE mission for the agency’s Science Mission Directorate as a project of the NASA’s Explorers Program. IXPE is an international collaboration between NASA, the Italian Space Agency, along with partners and providers in 12 other countries. Marshall built the three X-ray telescopes. The Italian Space Agency contributed IXPE’s polarization detectors. Ball Aerospace in Broomfield, Colorado, provided the spacecraft and manages spacecraft operations at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the Explorers Program.

Spinal Missing Link Is Discovered Unifying Apes, Neanderthals and Us
Spinal Missing Link Is Discovered Unifying Apes, Neanderthals and Us
A team of scientists has analyzed a set of two-million-year-old so-called ‘missing link’ fossils. Unlike anything presented before, their new study shows how the ancient human relative, Australopithecus sediba , 'walked like a human, but climbed like an ape'. Is this the missing link Darwin dreamed of?
A collection of two-million-year-old fossil vertebrae from an early human relative, discovered in Africa, has finally put to bed a long outstanding anthropological debate. The argument had always been whether Australopithecus sediba could both walk and climb trees, or not.
Now, a new paper shows that this early hominin was like a cat, being a master of both vertical and horizontal planes. The researchers have demonstrated how A. sediba used its upper limbs to climb trees and cliffs, while their lower limbs powered them along, walking like humans.

Discovered In Africa’s ‘Cradle Of Humankind’, Of course
The team of researchers from New York University, the University of the Witwatersrand, and 15 other academic institutions around the world, published their findings in the open access journal e-Life. The study was based on two discoveries of ‘lumbar vertebrae from the lower backs’ of a male and female Australopithecus sediba.
According to a New York University release , in 2008, Professor Lee Berger from the University of the Witwatersrand and his son, Matthew, first discovered the two million years old fossilized spine of the new species of ancient human relatives. Researchers call this female skeleton “Issa,” which means ‘protector’ in Swahili, after she was found at Malapa Cave, in the self-proclaimed Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site northwest of Johannesburg, South Africa.
Then, in 2015, anthropologists discovered ’the most complete lower back ever discovered’ of a male sediba at the same site. Together, the two sets of vertebrae have been used to successfully demonstrate that our ancient human relatives climbed like animals and walked like modern humans.
The fossils were encrusted in breccia, a cement-like rock, so, to avoid damaging the fossils, they were scanned with a Micro- CT scanner at the University of the Witwatersrand. Once the fossilized vertebrae had been ‘virtually prepared,’ they were then pieced together with other fragments of fossils recovered at the site. The 2008 and 2015 vertebrae were found to ‘articulate perfectly’, according to the study.
Professor Scott Williams of New York University and Wits University, the lead author on the new paper, said the lumbar region ‘is critical to understanding the nature of bipedalism in our earliest ancestors. Moreover, lumbars inform scientists as to whether any given species could walk on two legs, like modern humans do. Previous lumbar studies were all based on incomplete lower spines. Until now, it was not noticed that sediba had ‘a relatively straight spine, without the curvature, or lordosis, typically seen in modern humans,’ according to the paper.

Professor Gabrielle Russo of Stony Brook University was a coauthor of the new study and he explained that ‘Lordosis’ is the inward curve of the lumbar spine associated with tendencies towards bipedalism. The research showed how the lordosis of sediba was ‘more extreme than any other australopithecines yet discovered.’ This indicates ‘a powerful trunk musculature, perhaps for arboreal [tree climbing] behaviors,’ according to Russo. And, Issa’s spine was found to be more similar to ‘Neanderthals, and other more primitive species of ancient hominins older than two million years’.
The study concluded that the new spine research demonstrates sediba’s ‘transitional nature’ being able to walk like a human and climb trees like an ape: ‘a missing link’ showing another intermediate species between the great apes, Neanderthals and modern humans.

Just gotta beat that Covid thing and we’re off. Have a look.
Earth scientists at the turn of the century, Gavin Schmidt among them, were enthralled by a 56-million-year-old segment of geologic history known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). What most intrigued them was its resemblance to our own time: Carbon levels spiked, temperatures soared, ecosystems toppled. At professional workshops, experts tried to guess what natural processes could have triggered such severe global warming. At the dinner parties that followed, they indulged in less conventional speculation.
During one such affair, Schmidt, now the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, couldn’t resist the comparison. If modern climate change — unambiguously the product of human industry — and the PETM are so alike, he mused, “Wouldn’t it be funny if it was the same cause?” His colleagues were charmed by the implication. An ancient race of intelligent, fossil-fueled… chickens? Lemurs? “But,” he says, “nobody took it seriously, obviously.” Until, nearly two decades later, he took it seriously himself.
One day in 2017, Schmidt received a visit from Adam Frank, a University of Rochester astrophysicist seeking insight into whether civilizations on other planets would inevitably alter their climates like we have. Truth be told, Frank expected his alien conjecture to come across as mildly outlandish.
He was surprised when Schmidt interrupted with an even stranger idea, one he’d been incubating for years: “What makes you so sure we’re the first civilization on this planet?”
Worlds Within
One thing nearly all human creations have in common is that, geologically speaking, they’ll be gone in no time. Pyramids, pavement, temples and toasters — eroding away, soon to be buried and ground to dust beneath shifting tectonic plates. The oldest expansive patch of surface is the Negev Desert in southern Israel, and it dates back a mere 1.8 million years. Once we disappear, it won’t take Earth long to scrub out the facade human civilization has built upon its surface. And the fossil record is so sporadic that a species as short-lived as us (at least so far) might never find a place in it.
How, then, would observers in the distant future know we were here? If the direct evidence of our existence is bound for oblivion, will anything remain to tip them off? It’s a short step from these tantalizing questions to the one Schmidt posed to Frank: What if we are the future observers, discounting some prehistoric predecessor that ruled the world in long, long ago?
Frank’s mind whirled as he considered. A devotee of the cosmos, he felt suddenly dazed by the mind-boggling immensity of what lay beneath, rather than above, him. “You’re looking at Earth’s past as if it were another world,” he says. At first glance the answer seems self-evident — surely we would know if another species had colonized the globe like Homo sapiens did. Or, he now wondered, would we?
Take the analogy where the planet’s entire history is compressed into a single day: Complex life emerged about three hours ago; the industrial era has lasted only a few thousandths of a second. Given how rapidly we are rendering our home uninhabitable, some researchers think the average lifespan of advanced civilizations may be just a handful of centuries. If that’s true, the past few hundred million years could hide any number of industrial periods.
Humanity’s Technosignature
In the months after that conversation, Frank and Schmidt crafted what seems to be the first thorough scholarly response to the possibility of a pre-human civilization on Earth. Even sci-fi has mostly neglected the idea. One 1970s episode of Doctor Who, however, stars intelligent reptilians, awakened by nuclear testing after 400 million years of hibernation. In homage to those fictional forebears, the scientists dubbed their thought experiment the “Silurian hypothesis.”
Both scientists are quick to explain that they don’t actually believe in the hypothesis. There isn’t the slightest evidence for it. The point, as Frank puts it, is that “the question is an important one, and deserves to be answered with acuity,” not dismissed out of hand. Moreover, he says, “you can’t know until you look, and you can’t look until you know what to look for.” To see what traces an industrial civilization might leave behind, they start with the only one we’re aware of.
Our seemingly indelible mark on this planet will someday be reduced to a thin layer of rock, composed of the eclectic materials with which we’ve constructed the human world. Collectively they will make up our “technosignature,” the unique imprint that accompanies every technological species. For example, the sediment from our current geological epoch, the Anthropocene, will likely contain abnormal amounts of nitrogen from fertilizer, and rare-earth elements from electronics. Even more telling, it may harbor veins of substances that don’t occur naturally, like chlorofluorocarbons, plastics and manufactured steroids. (In fact, that’s the premise of an ominous short story Schmidt wrote to accompany the study.)
Of course, there’s no reason every civilization must unfold in the same way. Some may never avail themselves of plastic. But they must share certain universal features. Probably they would disperse indicator species, like mice and rats in our case, in their travels. And Schmidt notes that even aliens can’t violate the laws of physics: “Does every technological species need energy? Yes, so where does the energy come from?”
We humans conquered our planet with the help of combustion, and it seems reasonable to bet that ascendant life forms everywhere do the same. It’s just intuitive, Frank says: “There's always biomass, and you can always set biomass on fire.” For a long time we’ve founded our industry on fossil fuels, and, climatic consequences aside, that will leave a geological footprint. Carbon occurs in three types, called isotopes. When we burn the tissues of long-dead creatures, we change the ratio of isotopes in the atmosphere, a shift known as the Suess effect. Scientists have noted similar ratios in events like the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, and if anyone is looking in another 50 million years, they should have no trouble seeing it in the Anthropocene.
Anyone Out There?
So what about the PETM? Did those fumes originate in the engines of primeval jalopies? Unlikely. The carbon surge of that period was far more gradual than the one that began with our Industrial Revolution. The same is true of other comparable events in the distant past; geologists have yet to find anything as abrupt as the Anthropocene. That said, the brevity may be the problem — it can be incredibly difficult to make out short intervals in the rock record, as well as at the astronomical level. Which brings us to the Fermi paradox.
If the universe is so vast, with so many livable planets, why haven’t we found any hint of intelligent life? That’s what puzzled the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi. One solution is that plenty of civilizations have arisen, but they fizzle out so quickly that few exist at any given moment. Time, like space, is enormous, and humans may not overlap with many other extraterrestrial world-builders, reducing our chance of discovering any. Then there’s a more optimistic scenario: They may evade our notice not because they died off but because they mastered the art of sustainability, making their technosignatures less conspicuous.
That said, Frank is skeptical that a technological species could ever become undetectable — subtle, certainly, but not invisible. To build solar panels, you need raw materials; to acquire those materials, you need some other form of energy. As for wind power, recent research suggests that even if we raised enough turbines to power the planet, they too would contribute to short-term warming. This, Frank says, demonstrates at global scale the principle that there is no free lunch: “You cannot build a world-girdling civilization and not get some kind of feedback.”
The Search (and Fight) For Life
Since publishing the Silurian hypothesis, the authors have predictably attracted as many eccentrics as academics. “Everybody and their dog who has an ancient aliens podcast wanted to interview us,” Schmidt says. Both Schmidt and Frank realize the prospect of earlier earthlings is a seductive one. But regardless of who latches onto their hypothesis, they still see meaningful scientific lessons in their research.
For one, they hope it will inspire geologists looking in (and astrobiologists looking out) to hone their methods of detection. To identify a bygone civilization, they argue, scientists must search for a broad range of signals at once, everything from carbon fluctuations to synthetic chemicals. And they’ll need to pinpoint the rise and fall of these signals, given the importance of timing in distinguishing natural and industrial causes.
The hypothesis also bears on the famous Drake equation, used for calculating the number of active civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy. The equation assumes at most one civilization per inhabitable planet; an increase in that estimate could radically change its output, or the probability that we have intelligent galactic neighbors.
Perhaps most importantly, Frank and Schmidt’s work represents a call to action, and humility. It could be that both potential solutions to the Fermi paradox — extinction and technological transcendence — are possible. If so, we have a choice: “Are we going to live sustainably, or are we going to keep making a mess?” Schmidt wonders. “The louder we are in the cosmos, the more temporary we’re going to be.” Through one door, humans achieve a lasting place in the universe. Through the other we exit, leaving only a trail of cataclysmic breadcrumbs as a warning for the next big-brained saps to find — or overlook.
MUFON SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF DR. R. LEO SPRINKLE
MUFON SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF DR. R. LEO SPRINKLE
Well known UFO researcher Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle died this past week ( 22 november 2021) . Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle, known in the UFO community as a hardworking psychologist interested in UFOs, particularly alien abduction and who organized contactee conferences each year since 1980, has died at 91.
He was a Professor of Psychology at the University of Wyoming. MUFON joins the UFOlogy Community in mourning his passing. The man was not only brilliant but was a friend to many many experiencers throughout the years.
Dr. Sprinkle was very close to MUFON’s Colorado State Director Katie Griboski who wrote an entire book about the correspondences Dr. Sprinkle received over decades from the people he helped.
For those of you unfamiliar with him, Katie has allowed us to post this short biography from her book Letters of Love and Light.
Psychologist, hypnotherapist, and UFO contactee researcher R. Leo Sprinkle was born in 1930 in Rocky Ford, Colorado. As a young man he joined the United States Army, serving two years as a corporal in 194th Field Artillery Battalion in Wertheim, Germany.
He then returned to the United States, and began his studies at the University of Colorado, where he earned his bachelor’s degree, then a Master’s of Personnel Service in Counseling. He received his Ph.D. in Counseling and Guidance at the University of Missouri in 1961.
In 1964, after serving as Director of the Counseling Center at the University of North Dakota, he became Associate Professor of Guidance Education at the University of Wyoming. Leo served as Counselor and Associate Professor of Psychology there from 1967 till his retirement in 1989.
Leo’s many published writings have included his book Soul Samples (1999, Granite Publishing) and his approximately 50 articles published in academic and UFO journals. These have focused mainly on UFO research, extrasensory perception, hypnosis, reincarnation, spiritual growth, and counseling theory and practice.
Not long into his career, Leo became increasingly known in UFO circles as a researcher of contactee experiences, offering an open mind and a sympathetic ear for those needing to speak of their experiences. A nonbeliever for many years, Leo migrated, as he puts it, from “scoffer” to “skeptic” after experiencing a UFO sighting himself in 1949. A second sighting with his wife in 1956 then moved him from “skeptic” to “unwilling believer.”
By the mid 1960s, Leo was involved in trailblazing research and investigation of UFO abductions. As psychology professor and therapist, over the decades he has performed more than 500 hypnotic regressions of possible contactees and abductees. Viewed as an authority in the UFO field, he has spoken on this topic on national television and at international conferences.
Among the many cases Leo has investigated have been some of the most extraordinary and well-known UFO incidents to have occurred since 1930.
In 1964, using a set of standard tests, Leo’s breakthrough research included the first psychological study of hundreds of individuals who had reported sighting or experiencing a UFO. He concluded from this that most UFO witnesses operate within the normal psychological range……..
“My approach is to minimize the tendency to ‘explain’ (or explain away) the reality of psychic experiences,” Leo has said, “and to emphasize the willingness to explore the personal meaning of these human experiences of spiritual emergence.”
In 1980, Leo founded the University of Wyoming’s annual summer Rocky Mountain Conference on UFO Investigation as a meeting place for hundreds of UFO contactees, abductees, and other experiencers seeking affirmation and support.
In 1988, Leo published the PACTS model of abductee/contactee experience. Based on 24 years of study, it marked out five stages of experience. Briefly, these were: Preparation (family and cultural experiences of ESP and/or spiritual contacts, including childhood visitations by Spiritual Beings (SBs), Abduction (UFO sightings and/or abduction experiences inducted or initiated, involuntarily, by SBs), Contact (adult visitations inducted or initiated voluntarily by SBs), Training (instruction for a mission or task), and Service (cooperation with SBs—channeling verbal or written information from them, providing healing, instruction, or assistance to others).
There is also the accomplishment which this book celebrates: Leo’s active correspondence over 40 years, in supportive yet academically responsible ways, with UFO and ET experiencers all over the world.
Over the years, as a result of his research, Leo has concluded….that UFO activity is a part of an incoming wave of human consciousness—a shift into viewing ourselves not only as “planetary persons,” but as “cosmic citizens.”
Thank you Dr. Sprinkle. You will be greatly missed!
Remote Viewing Alien Life Forms: Locating Space Aliens On Earth
Remote Viewing Alien Life Forms: Locating Space Aliens On Earth
Most psychic abilities are innate and come naturally to people. Clairvoyance and telepathy are two of the most known abilities. However, there is a form of psychic ability that can be learned through a scientific method known as Scientific Remote Viewing.
What is Scientific Remote Viewing?
Scientific Remote Viewing, also known as SRV, is a process of being able to view something or someone at a distant location and can be used to view the target of the viewing session at any point in time.
The idea is to obtain information without using any of the five senses. Instead, SRV works to override the conscious mind to get to soul-level communication.
The viewer is given two random four-digit numbers. Although these numbers would have no meaning to the viewer’s conscious mind, the viewers’ subspace mind recognizes what the numbers signify.
O̳r̳i̳g̳i̳n̳a̳l̳ly developed by the CIA and U. S. military, this particular remote viewing process was developed by Dr. Courtney Brown.
Dr. Courtney Brown is a scientist and director of The Farsight Institute which is an organization dedicated to the development of remote viewing as a scientific way of collecting information.
One of the foremost and most respected viewers in the world, Dr. Courtney Brown has been able to remote view different races of e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳s and claims some of them are on Earth now.
E̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳s̳ on Earth
When remote viewing e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳s, both Dr. Brown and many other viewers at the Farsight Institute have collected the same data. Although some of the data might seem difficult to believe, much of the information is similar to information obtained by many researchers in the field of U̳F̳O̳ investigations.
The best known a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ life forms are those referred to as the Greys. Due to abuse to their environment, they destroyed their own planet. They had to move underground and began genetically altering themselves in order to adapt to their new surroundings.
It’s said that they altered their minds so that they could avoid emotions and it’s said that they altered their bodies to be smaller.
One of the drawbacks from this is that they could no longer produce their own offspring. They came to Earth to work with human biology in an effort to create a hybrid race which in time will allow them to reproduce on their own and feel emotions again.
Life on Mars and Martians on Earth
According to information received through SRV, there was once life on Mars. Due to a comet or asteroid, the Martian c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳ was mostly destroyed.
While it’s said that some of the survivors moved underground, others were brought to Earth and supposedly live in an underground facility under a mountain in Santa Fe Baldy, New Mexico.
Who are the R̳e̳p̳t̳i̳l̳i̳a̳n̳s and Why are They Here?
Apparently the Martians aren’t the only ones with a secret underground base. Allegedly, another race of a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s known as the R̳e̳p̳t̳i̳l̳i̳a̳n̳s have at least one base on Earth as well.
Both R̳e̳p̳t̳i̳l̳i̳a̳n̳s and hybrid R̳e̳p̳t̳i̳l̳i̳a̳n̳s have been viewed, along with humans. The apparent reason the R̳e̳p̳t̳i̳l̳i̳a̳n̳s came to Earth was to form a hybrid species between Man and R̳e̳p̳t̳i̳l̳i̳a̳n̳s.
Remote viewing was originally developed to be used as a type of psychic spying for the military. Although the above information regarding a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ life may seem difficult to believe, especially since it isn’t verifiable, numerous remote viewing sessions have had verifiable results, indicating that the process does work.
If military bases and weapons can accurately be remote viewed, then the possibility of remote viewing a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s should be considered, especially if viewed by Dr. Courtney Brown who has an outstanding reputation in his field.

Alien Abductee Travis Walton And His Terrifying Experience
Alien Abductee Travis Walton And His Terrifying Experience
Perhaps one of the most famous alien abduction stories is that of Travis Walton. He claims he has had an alien encounter on November 5th, 1975. He was 22 at the time.
He was working with a logging crew of seven men at the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona. The crew were heading home after work in their pickup truck when they saw strange bright lights coming through the trees.
As their truck rolled slowly along the road, they stopped when they reached a portion of trees where the light was so bright it looked like the sunset, but the sun had set a half an hour before.
The men suddenly became aware that what they were witnessing was a UFO. The driver rolled to a stop on the side of the road, along the edge of the trees for a better look.
He shut off the engine as the mesmerized men observed a golden-colored object hovering twenty feet above the ground through the trees. Walton was suddenly seized with an overwhelming desire to see the spacecraft up close before it flew away, so he got out of the truck and blazingly walked up to it.
The ground was vibrating under his feet. He stood within feet of the craft, basking in its glow.
Looking up at the golden disc, Travis stood in awe of it and wondered what mysteries it held. As his mind expanded on the possibilities, the craft began to move oddly and erratically, his friends screamed at Walton to get away from it.
Travis started to move away from the craft when suddenly he felt a tremendous electrifying shock hit him and pass throughout his body. The energy lifted his body above the ground and then hurled him ten feet through the air. When his body hit the ground he felt numb all over.
What The Others Witnessed
What Walton’s friends witnessed was a blast of blinding greenish colored light coming from the aircraft that suddenly hit and lifted his body in the air. His back was arched, his legs and arms outstretched.
He was thrown through the air like a rag doll and landed on the ground in a lifeless heap. His friends thought he was dead because he was not moving. In fear, the crew left Travis behind and went for help.
The men went to the sheriff and told them what happened. The sheriff believed them and sent out a search party after Travis later that night but Walton was gone. His disappearance made news. Search dogs, airplanes, and trackers could not locate the logger. After four days they gave up.
A Terrifying Experience
When Walton woke up, he was on a flat surface on his back. At first he thought he was in a hospital, but when his eyes began to adjust to his surroundings, he realized he was in the alien aircraft.
Three small figures in orange-colored surgical coats stood over him. The strange entities were studying him closely. He said they were about five feet tall with very pale and hairless skin, no fingernails, and had small human-like features, but their eyes and heads seemed oddly large.
Terrified, Travis struck out at one of the aliens with his arm, although it was ineffectual in his weakened state. He then managed to get off of the examining table and moved away from the prying eyes and had nowhere to go.
He was backed up against the wall of the craft ready to defend himself as the creatures moved in on him. While Walton screamed at the aliens and tried to defend himself, they never spoke.
Walton claims the aliens suddenly left the room after his outburst and he wondered through the spacecraft looking for an escape. Eventually, he met up with a tall looking human in a blue space-like suit with a clear helmet.
The stranger never spoke, but took him to another place where two more of these human-looking people were waiting. The other humans never spoke but carefully escorted Travis to an examining table.
He felt powerless as they gently pushed him back on the table and placed a mask over his face. He immediately fell unconscious. When he woke up again, he was laying on the side of a road near Heber, Arizona over thirty miles away from the abduction sight. The craft was hovering over him, then suddenly shot out of sight.
He was gone for five days and was in shock. The story made headlines, and soon a movie about his experience was made (Fire in the Sky).
Still, there were skeptics who wanted to know the truth. Next, Walton was polygraphed by expert, John J. McCarthy, who claims that Walton failed the exam, and felt that Travis had perpetrated a hoax. But McCathy’s outdated methods were called into question.
Travis later took two more polygraphs and passed them. Still, the old polygraph seemed to overshadow him, leading some to believe that he was lying about his ordeal. Walton went on to write the book, “The Walton Experience” which was adapted into the film, “Fire in the Sky.” He has been a guest on Larry King Live and also a guest of several UFO conventions.
By Definition UFOs Are Real, But If They Are Not Aliens, What Might They Be?
By Definition UFOs Are Real, But If They Are Not Aliens, What Might They Be?
When people say that “they don’t believe in UFOs” it is testament to the fact that in most people’s minds, UFOs mean aliens. However, by definition, UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) are very real – there are thousands of sightings every year. The fact we don’t know what the vast majority of these sightings are, does not mean they do not happen.
So if they are not aliens, what are they?
Several other theories exist as to what they might be?
Perhaps the most “accepted” of these would be that they are the results of top secret government aircraft tests. We know this happens, and to a certain degree at least, most of us accept the need to test such machines away from “prying eyes” – that being said, some of the technology that is on display during some of the sightings are so far away from anything we know we are capable of that even if it were aircraft tests – the question of where that technology came from in the first place raises it’s head.
If aliens are not responsible for UFOs - what else could these strange types of sightings be?
Theories that UFO and alien sightings are in fact evidence of time-travellers are relatively common in the UFO fields, particularly when dealing with abduction cases.
Would this explain the cases where the “captors” were very “human-looking” and some have reported a “human presence” observing what is happening? Although many speak of being "chipped” so that they can be found again (and many people have indeed had unknown items removed from their bodies) – if these “aliens” were in fact time-travellers, that would explain how they know so much about the people they are visiting and their whereabouts in the first place, and maybe even time-travellers would need to “chip” people.
The airship sightings of the late 1890s (which you can read about here) are just one of the many strange sightings throughout history where the possibility of their being time-travellers was considered.
Even the general description of the “grey alien” that many people report seeing has been theorised by some as how human beings may look far into the future – the bigger head for example has been “explained” as having to house a larger brain that will be more engaged than it is now, and a slender, less muscle-bound body as most manual work will be done by machine as opposed to people. Even the larger black eyes have been attributed to a change in the atmosphere in the future (given all the theories of global warming and such) – perhaps humans will be forced to live underground or in artificial enclosures?
Could UFO sightings have more to do with human time-travel than out of this world life?
And what if their reasons, assuming they were human time-travellers for a moment, were not at all sinister? What if they have indeed altered the course of history by observing from the future? What, for example, if the second world war had not ended how we “know” it ended until “they” came from the future to ensure so? A wild theory no doubt, but the point being, whether for sinister or beneficial means, if the possibility to travel back in time existed, it would be utilised rightly or wrongly – of that there is no doubt. For a little further reading on this click here.
Check out the short video below about how humans may look in the future and you can do a little further reading here.
What if the UFO sightings were exactly that – not real in that they can be touched, but simply something real that can be viewed for just a brief amount of time.
There are many sightings of so-called “phantom” buildings, ships, trains and essentially anything else that simply appeared and then disappeared in front of people’s eyes. Could the same be true of the UFO sightings. Could it be that the UFOs are simply a “phantom” aircraft from another time – past or future – that we have simply no reference for, and that this “rip” in space time is some phenomenon that we don’t understand but provides us a brief look into the past or the future. The famous Sky Battle of Basel in 1655 is just one documented sighting that could quite possibly have been a vision from the future as opposed to a sighting of an “alien” spacecraft.
However, while this theory would provide a possible explanation for UFO sightings, it would not account for the cases of inter-action and abduction. So, if not a “ghost” craft, then could it be possible that what we are viewing is a sneak look at an alternative dimension, and in some cases, living beings actually crossing to and from their dimension to ours.
One of the things perceived to make this possible, and another theory in itself to explain the UFO phenomenon, is the stress and movement of tectonic plates – which it is theorized releases enormous amounts of energy. Perhaps this energy release is so great that it opens portals or windows to another time or dimension, maybe even to other planets? It has been noted that strange phenomenon occurs around these plates – including much UFO activity and strangely enough Big-foot sightings.
Might intelligent life from other worlds come in the form of self assembling and self replicating machines?
One of the wilder theories is that the UFOs ae not objects at all, but living things. Kenneth Arnold, widely regarded as the first person to have reported seeing a UFO (something we will look at a later date) made statements that he felt what he had seen may have been alive. We know for example that life can exist outside of the planet in space, even if it is just bacteria, and we know that life has at some point found it’s way to us on meteorites – for some further reading click here about how “life” was found outside the International Space Station very recently.
And, as some scientists have stated, perhaps these living beings are artificial intelligent life? Many have theorised that, in the same way that we have sent unmanned probes to Mars, other alien races may have sent the same thing to Earth to essentially gather information – you can read about William Robert Loosley here, who claimed to have witnessed such a machine on Earth back in 1871.
Real or hoax? One of the many "genuine" UFOs caught on film?
Perhaps these machines are so advanced we have yet to fully understand them – some have even suggested self-assembling and self-replicating machines. Click here for more in depth reading on this particular theory.
Whatever they are, barring some kind of absolute disclosure of information, it will keep people wondering and theorizing for many years to come.

note peter2011
I try to keep an open mind about most things.
When we look at the possibility of these super advanced objects being ours or a foreign government, we have to think about the following:
1. If these objects are ours or a foreign powers' and are supposed to be 'secret', why would they fly where people can see them?
2. These objects have been around for decades if not centuries. Does it make sense that any human government would have developed such technology so long ago and it is still secret?
3. If such technology was created so long ago, why hasn't some of this tech spilled out into civilian industry as it has with other advanced tech.
Our limited way of thinking keeps us from seeing that there may be other possibilities besides, the U.S., Foreign governments, future humans, Extraterrestrials, Extra-dimensionals
Recent analysis of ancient DNA found in soil samples collected in the Canadian permafrost has revealed that mammoths and Yukon wild horses survived thousands of years longer than previously thought.
The samples, which were found specifically in the Klondike region of Yukon, were analyzed and presented in a 30,000-year DNA record by researchers from McMaster University, the University of Alberta, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Yukon government.
The samples provided the researchers with valuable information regarding plants and animals from the Pleistocene-Holocene transition period that occurred between 14,000 and 11,000 years ago. This was also the time when numerous animals were believed to have gone extinct such as mammoths, sabre-toothed cats, and mastodons.
They found that the woolly mammoths and North American horses were already declining drastically in numbers before that time period when the climate became unstable. However, they did not completely go extinct until around 5,000 years ago – thousands of years later than previously estimated. Previous research conducted by scientists at McMaster University claimed that woolly mammoths and North American horses were alive in the Yukon around 9,700 years ago.
Hendrik Poinar, who is an evolutionary geneticist and director of the McMaster Ancient DNA Centre, discussed their research in further details, “The rich data provides a unique window into the population dynamics of megafuana and nuances the discussion around their extinction through more subtle reconstructions of past ecosystems.” Their study was published in the journal Nature Communications.
Researchers used DNA capture-enrichment technology developed at McMaster to isolate and rebuild the fluctuating animal and plant communities during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition.

Ross MacPhee from the American Museum of Natural History weighed in by noting, “Although mammoths are gone forever, horses are not,” adding, “The horse that lived in the Yukon 5,000 years ago is directly related to the horse species we have today, Equus caballus. Biologically, this makes the horse a native North American mammal, and it should be treated as such.”
He is correct in regards to woolly mammoths currently being extinct; however, a new company is planning on changing that. A few months ago, it was reported that a new de-extinction company named Colossal is planning on resurrecting the woolly mammoth within the next six years.
As for how they plan on doing that, they want to change the genome in Asian elephants to create a modern mammoth. More specifically, they would need to add mammoth genes to the DNA of Asian elephants so that the modified creature would have curved tusks, subcutaneous fat stores, smaller ears, and a thick shaggy coat that would help them to live in the Arctic Circle. Realistically, if they succeed, it would be an Asian elephant/woolly mammoth hybrid. We’ll have to wait and see how that experiment turns out…

Oud DNA uit permafroststalen toont aan dat mammoeten en wilde Yukon-paarden duizenden jaren langer overleefd hebben dan gedacht
Enkele lepeltjes vol aarde uit de Canadese permafrost, meer hadden onderzoekers niet nodig om een nieuw, ruim venster te openen op het vroegere leven in het noordelijke Yukon-gebied. Dankzij gesofisticeerde analyses konden ze een DNA-databank aanleggen van de ecosystemen uit het verleden en meer informatie inwinnen over het overleven en uitsterven van megafauna als mammoeten, paarden en andere al lang uitgestorven levensvormen. Daar bleek uit dat mammoeten en wilde paarden langer overleefd hebben dan tot nog toe gedacht werd.

De sedimenten werden gehaald uit boorkernen van permafrost die afkomstig zijn uit het Klondike-gebied in het centrum van het Yukon Territory, het meest noordwestelijke deel van Canada dat grenst aan Alaska.
Onderzoekers van de Canadese McMaster University, de University of Alberta, het American Museum of Natural History en de regering van het Yukon Territory legden in hun nieuwe studie met DNA uit de sedimentstalen een DNA-bestand aan van de ecosystemen uit het verleden over een periode van 30.000 jaar.
Ze gebruikten daarvoor de 'DNA capture-enrichment' (DNA opvang en verrijking) technologie die ontwikkeld is aan de McMaster University. Daarmee konden ze in opmerkelijk detail de veranderende planten- en dierengemeenschappen reconstrueren op verschillende tijdstippen tijdens de overgang van het Pleistoceen naar het Holoceen. Dat was een periode met een onstabiel klimaat, zo'n 11.000 tot 14.000 jaar geleden, waarin een aantal grote soorten zoals mammoeten, mastodonten en sabeltandkatten verdwenen.
Ze reconstrueerden de oude ecosystemen aan de hand van minieme bodemstalen die miljarden genomische sequenties bevatten van dier- en plantensoorten.

Tot 5000 jaar geleden nog mammoeten en Noord-Amerikaanse paarden
De analyse toonde aan dat mammoeten en paarden al een flinke achteruitgang kenden voor het klimaat onstabiel werd, maar ook dat ze niet onmiddellijk verdwenen ten gevolge van overbejaging door de mens, zoals eerder gedacht werd.
De aanwijzingen uit het DNA tonen integendeel aan dat zowel de wolharige mammoet als het Noord-Amerikaanse paard overleefde tot zelfs 5000 jaar geleden. Dat brengt hen bijna in het Laat-Holoceen, het geologische interval waarin we nu nog leven.
Gedurende het Vroeg-Holoceen bleef het milieu in het Yukon-gebied grote veranderingen ondergaan. Het ooit zo rijke grasland - de mammoetsteppe - werd overgroeid door struiken en mossen, soorten die niet langer in bedwang werden gehouden door grote grazende kuddes mammoeten, paarden en bizons.
Vandaag doen graslanden het niet al te best in het noorden van Noord-Amerika, voor een deel omdat er geen megafauna meer zijn die hen als 'ecologische ingenieurs' kunnen beheren.
"De overvloed aan gegevens biedt een unieke kijk op de populatiedynamiek van de megafauna en ze nuanceren de discussie over hun uitsterven dankzij subtielere reconstructies van de ecosystemen uit het verleden", zei evolutionair geneticus Hendrik Poinar, een hoofdauteur van de nieuwe studie en de directeur van het Ancient DNA Centre van McMaster.
De studie bouwt voort op eerder onderzoek van wetenschappers van McMaster die tot de conclusie waren gekomen dat wolharige mammoeten en Noord-Amerikaanse paarden waarschijnlijk nog aanwezig waren in het Yukon-gebied zo'n 9700 jaar geleden. Betere technieken en verder onderzoek hebben die eerdere analyse sindsdien verfijnd en de datum nog meer opgeschoven naar het heden.
Een video van de McMaster University met uitleg over de studie:
Enorme hoeveelheid gegevens in permafrost
"Nu we deze technologieën hebben, beseffen we hoeveel informatie over de geschiedenis van het leven er opgeslagen zit in permafrost", zei Tyler Murchie, een postdoctorale onderzoeker in het departement antropologie van McMaster en een tweede hoofdauteur van de studie.
"De hoeveelheid genetische gegevens in permafrost is echt enorm en laat de reconstructie van ecosystemen en de evolutie toe op een schaal die niet geëvenaard wordt met andere methoden", zo zei hij.
De onderzoekers benadrukten ook dat het nodig is om meer permafrost-stalen te nemen en te archiveren, aangezien die voor altijd dreigen verloren te gaan nu het Noordpoolgebied opwarmt.
"Hoewel mammoeten voor altijd verdwenen zijn, zijn paarden dat niet", zei mede-auteur Ross McPhee van het American Museum of Natural History. "De paarden die 5000 jaar geleden in de Yukon leefden, zijn directe verwanten van de paardensoort die we nu kennen, Equus caballus. Biologisch maakt dat van het paard een inheems Noord-Amerikaans zoogdier en het zou ook zo behandeld moeten worden."

US MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY
Seek and Destroy
The US Space Force installed a high tech new radar system this week that it says will be able to detect objects the size of baseballs in orbit.
The massive monitoring system, dubbed the Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR), is located at the Clear Space Force Base near Fairbanks, Alaska, according to The Anchorage Daily News. The radar is slated to support the US missile defense system and provide reconnaissance data in space.
“Today marks an extremely important milestone for US homeland defense,” US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) director Jon Hill said in a press release yesterday. “The LRDR has finished construction, and we can now begin the testing phase that will lead to the full operational use of this vital system.”
The Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR) at Clear Space Force Station, Alaska, is a multi-mission, multi-face radar designed to provide search, track and discrimination capability in support of homeland defense.

Missile Demand
The testing phase of the LRDR system will now take at least another year, with its operational date slated for 2023.
Once operational, the radar will give the US Space Force the ability to “simultaneously search, track, and discriminate multiple small, baseball-sized objects” in orbit, according to a press release from the MDA.
“LRDR will allow Northern Command to better defend the United States from ballistic and hypersonic missile threats,” Hill added in the release.
Arms Race Escalation
The installation of the LRDR marks a significant milestone for both the US Space Force and the burgeoning geopolitical arms race.
Now, with the US Space Force ramping up its own detection efforts, it’s just more evidence that underscores a clear and haunting fact: the world’s biggest powers seem to be gearing up for a conflict the likes of which has not been seen since the Cold War. Let’s just hope it stays just as bloodless.
A team of researchers in China has built and tested a prototype hypersonic flight engine that is allegedly based on a design that was scrapped by NASA over 20 years ago, according to a report from the South China Morning Post (SCMP).
The prototype itself might not lead to a production version of hypersonic aircraft. Still, in a paper in the Journal of Propulsion Technology, the team behind the machine said "understanding its work mechanism can provide important guidance to hypersonic plane and engine development."
The prototype based on Tang’s blueprint was tested at a wind tunnel in Nanjing, Jiangsu.

NASA's scrapped X-47C program is revived
The original design was proposed by Ming Han Tang, a former chief engineer of NASA's hypersonic program in the late 1990s. Tang's Two-Stage Vehicle (TSV) X-plane design was at the center of the Boeing Manta X-47C program, as per the SCMP report. However, before the program could verify the viability of the design, it was terminated by the U.S. government due to its high costs as well as a series of technical issues.
Unlike the majority of hypersonic aircraft proposals, which feature an engine on the underside, the TSV X-plane design by Tang has two separate engines on each side. At lower speeds, the engines work as normal turbine jet engines. With no moving parts, the configuration then allows the aircraft to quickly switch to high-speed mode to accelerate to more than five times the speed of sound.
Now, Professor Tan Huijun and colleagues at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in Jiangsu, China, have constructed a prototype based on Tang's original specifications. They were able to do this due to the fact that the blueprints for the Boeing Manta X-47C program were declassified in 2011. Huijun and his team tested the prototype in a wind tunnel that allows testing in conditions resembling flight at Mach 4 to Mach 8. The tests revealed that Tang's proposed engine design works in these conditions, meaning they should be able to conduct further tests and build new iterations of their prototype.
The race to go hypersonic
The U.S. and China are in the midst of a space and aviation race. According to the SCMP article, a number of high-profile Chinese scientists quit NASA and other government engineering firms in the U.S. in the late 90s due to strained relations between the two countries. This reportedly coincided with the start of China's hypersonic weapons program in the early 2000s.
China's space agency recently announced that it is building a fission reactor for the Moon that will reportedly be 100 times more powerful than one in development by NASA. China's government also announced earlier this year that it will collaborate with Russia on a lunar space station, which will directly rival NASA's lunar Gateway program. In October, China also launched a hypersonic missile with "an advanced space capability" that took U.S. officials by surprise.
In July, meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force granted a hypersonic aircraft startup called Hermeus a $60 million contract to develop a prototype aircraft within three years that could travel at speeds of Mach 5 using only one engine. The race to go hypersonic is in full force.

NASA SCIENTISTS ARE GONNA BAWL THEIR EYES WHEN THE TINY MARS CHOPPER DIES
NASA SCIENTISTS ARE GONNA BAWL THEIR EYES WHEN THE TINY MARS CHOPPER DIES
I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!
NASA
NASA’s Mars itty bitty scouting helicopter has outlived its life expectancy seven times over — and when it does finally cross the cosmic rainbow bridge, things are probably gonna get emotional.
This heartwrenching insider scoop comes from Christopher Hamilton, an associate professor of planetary sciences at the University of Arizona who’s witnessed other tearjerker endings at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.
Ingenuity, the four-pound helicopter that acts as a scout for the Perseverance Rover, was only supposed to last for 30 days when it was first took to the Martian skies more than seven months ago. As Hamilton told United Press International, Ingenuity’s surprisingly-long lifespan will make its final transmission, whenever it comes, that much more bittersweet.
“When the day comes that Ingenuity makes its final flight on Mars,” the cosmologist told UPI, “there will be a mixture of emotions — sadness that such an exceptional spacecraft has reached the end of its journey, but also triumph in that Ingenuity opened a new paradigm in Mars exploration.”
This little chopper that could is special for more reasons than its lifespan. It was also, as UPI noted, designed as an experiment into whether such a tiny and high-tech robot could survive Mars’ notoriously thin atmosphere at all. Seven-and-a-half months and 17 flights around Mars’ Jezero Center crater later, Ingenuity has demonstrated that ability in spades.
Much of Ingenuity’s worth lies in the fundamental things it can do that terrestrial rovers cannot, chief of which being that it can fly and take high-resolution photos while the Perseverance Rover can only move on the ground. In doing so, Ingenuity has shown the way for the Rover in ways JPL drivers on Earth could not.
What was planned as a “what-if” experiment turned into an important complement for Perseverance, an article in IEEE Spectrum magazine noted.
And what’s more, the researchers who have worked with Ingenuity have become very attached to the little rotorcraft on an emotional level.
“The whole team, we all love it!” Olivier Toupet, a Mars Rover driver at the JPL, told Spectrum. “We didn’t know we were going to love it.”
As the publication pointed out, Ingenuity’s timeline has been repeatedly extended, first from 30 days to a few months, and now indefinitely. That’s been “a big surprise,” Olivier said.
Extended missions are nothing new for the JPL, the rover driver noted, but the limits of Ingenuity’s design mean that it could last for months or years more — or die at any moment.
“Ingenuity’s achievements cannot be overstated, and it will be remembered as one of the great pioneering vessels of all time,” Hamilton told UPI. “One day, Ingenuity will make its last flight on the Red Planet, but it will not be the last aircraft to fly on Mars — it’s just the beginning.”
If that’s not enough to make astrophysicists cry, I don’t know what is.
Former US AIR FORCE Officer: “The United States Is Aware Of ALIEN BASES On The MOON
Former US AIR FORCE Officer: “The United States Is Aware Of ALIEN BASES On The MOON”
U̳F̳O̳ researchers have always argued that on the Moon and more precisely in the dark side, there could be some e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ bases. The theory suggests that if these a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s from a distant planet, from another solar system, they could have many bases on the Moon and other planets in our solar system, from which they can make their regular visits to Earth. It is also true that these beings from other worlds could travel by exploiting the StarGates or Wormholes for long distances. They have had this technology for thousands of years already.
In support of this claim, Milton William Cooper, an American writer, broadcaster and former US AIR FORCE intelligence officer, stated under oath in 1989 that the US government was aware of a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ bases on the Moon. the exactness “outposts”) where spaceships are hosted that often visit the Earth.
“Beyond the Moon there are a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ bases” – declared Milton Cooper in a statement. “They have been seen by the Apollo astronauts. During the trip to the Moon these a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ bases were photographed, which were equipped with large machines used for work on the surface of the satellite (perhaps who knows for mining) and large spaceships “. Let’s not forget that the Apollo 15 Mission had photographed a large 3 km long spaceship near Delport Crater. Then subsequently the Apollo 20 mission flew over and photographed the whole area where the a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ ship was parked on the lunar soil.
Cooper has also written about other conspiracy theories, related to the United States government. But the surprise came in 2001, when Cooper was murdered by agents from the Sheriff’s Office (Apache County). There was a police raid on his home in Arizona over a tax evasion report. The official story says Cooper opened fire first. Is there perhaps a better proof? You know how these things go. If you know too much … you get killed. The truth hurts…
Pictures
Many conspiracy theorists claim that there are actual NASA photographs, which clearly show a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ bases on the far, far side of the Moon. “There is a complex of a lunar a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ base on the far side of the moon,” said Scott C. Waring, one of the most respected U̳F̳O̳logists. “This seems to be crazy, but it’s true and we have irrefutable evidence … especially directly from the military.”
In 1994, the US Navy sent a satellite called Clementine which was intended to photograph the moon for two months in a row. During this period, the satellite images sent to the space center were 1.8 million, but only 170,000 of those images were made available to the public. The rest were classified. Classified images of the craters of the moon? ” One of the most fascinating evidence of e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ bases on the far side of the moon comes from remote viewing by Ingo Swann (1933-2013). Swann, who was instrumental in creating the US government’s remote viewing program in 1970, was one of the most famous RVs in the world, but far more recognized than a few others. For example, in 1973, while performing a distant view of Jupiter, Swann had reported that the giant gas planet had rings. This fact was unknown to astronomers before, until it was confirmed by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1979.
But Swann was also known for a remote viewing session on the far side of the moon. Swann asked a man named Axelrod, who worked for the United States government, for some a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ targets.
“Axelrod together with Ingo Swann, agreed on a series of RV sessions in the coordinates of the Moon” – declares the writer Gary S. Bekkum, of the American Chronicle – “Swann visualized the Moon with his remote vision in the predetermined coordinates, under the guidance of Axelrod. In particular, a dozen different places were searched and soon realized that in some points there were a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ bases. Swann had found what appeared to be tracks with wheel tracks as large as those of tractors. In principle Swann was confused by what he was seeing, but he realized that he was witnessing the activity of building intelligent structures on the Moon. At the bottom of a crater he saw a dusty haze, illuminated by rows of artificial green lights mounted on large towers. Swann was surprised during the VR session when he realized that “someone” or “something” has appeared in one of the buildings of one of the bases on the Moon.
Swann knew that an interplanetary VR operation had been endorsed, due to the need to monitor underground structures and e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ activities in an unconventional way. Swann was on a mission to psychically spy on an a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ moon base, because these beings were very rude to the human military. When Ingo Swann “listened” in Remote, he sensed that he had been psychically discovered by two of the ET humanoid inhabitants of the moon base, also asking if he was in danger. ”
Are astronauts and scientists aware of e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ bases on the far side of the moon? As we have seen, there is only some evidence that a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ bases may be on the far side of the moon. Unfortunately, even this theory cannot be proved or proved, but we know that some American military and astronauts are witnesses to the fact that up there, on the Moon, there is someone watching us.
There’s a new article over at Mirador titled “Congress Tells Pentagon and Intelligence Community: UFOs are Serious Business!” The article, from Douglas Dean Johnson, and dated December 7, states: “With the unveiling today of legislative language already agreed on in negotiations between key lawmakers meeting privately, it is likely that Congress will soon send the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community a set of emphatic statutory commands regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (or UFOs, in common parlance).” Well, the UFO subject has always been serious business. For example, in the 1950s, when the “Contactees” were at their height and hanging out with the “Space Brothers” (allegedly, at least…), the FBI opened near-voluminous files on the likes of George Adamski, George Van Tassel, George Hunt Williamson and way more. Many people in Ufology write-off the Contactees, but the fact is that they were of deep concern to the U.S. government for the best part of a decade. Adamski’s FBI file is more than 300-pages-long. So is the Van Tassel file. Of course, none of this really had anything to do with real aliens. Rather, the FBI was concerned by (A) the fact that many of the Contactees had communist leanings; (B) that the Contactees quickly developed huge followings; and (C) that for a while the FBI suspected some of the Contactees were possibly even working for Soviet spies in America.
(Nick Redfern)
“Giant Rock,” California where George Van Tassel hung out. So did the FBI, now and again.
The big irony in all of this is that while many well-known ufologists of that era, such as Leonard Stringfield, Gray Barker and Albert Bender had files opened on them, those latter files were barely in the figure of around thirty-to-forty pages. Stan Friedman’s file is pitiful, in terms of what it tells us (or, rather, what it doesn’t). So, for the FBI, the UFO/Contactee issue was one of deep concern for a long time. UFOs themselves, though, were not of particular interest to the FBI. If at all, even. Rather, it was the politics of the Contactees that had the FBI worried. Moving on, there’s the matter of the CIA’s Robertson Panel of the 1950s. Yet again, we see serious business, but for reasons that weren’t directly tied to the UFO enigma, itself, but that had everything to do with politics. The curious and fantastic UFO events of July 1952, over Washington, D.C., deeply troubled the CIA and the Air Force. And, for very intriguing and alternative reasons that had very little to do with literal alien invasions or visitations. On December 2, 1952 the CIA’s Assistant Director H. Marshall Chadwell noted in a classified report on UFO activity in American airspace: “Sightings of unexplained objects at great altitudes and traveling at high speeds in the vicinity of major U.S. defense installations are of such nature that they are not attributable to natural phenomena or known types of aerial vehicles.”
Believing that something really might be afoot in the skies of America, Chadwell prepared a list of saucer-themed recommendations for the National Security Council: “1. The Director of Central Intelligence shall formulate and carry out a program of intelligence and research activities as required to solve the problem of instant positive identification of unidentified flying objects. 2. Upon call of the Director of Central Intelligence, Government departments and agencies shall provide assistance in this program of intelligence and research to the extent of their capacity provided, however, that the DCI shall avoid duplication of activities presently directed toward the solution of this problem. 3. This effort shall be coordinated with the military services and the Research and Development Board of the Department of Defense, with the Psychological Board and other Governmental agencies as appropriate. 4. The Director of Central Intelligence shall disseminate information concerning the program of intelligence and research activities in this field to the various departments and agencies which have authorized interest therein.”
The overall conclusion of the Robertson Panel was that while UFOs, per se, did not appear to have a bearing on national security or the defense of the United States, the way in which the subject could be used by unfriendly forces to manipulate the public mindset and disrupt the U.S. military infrastructure did have a bearing – and a major one, too – on matters of a security nature. According to the panel’s members: “Although evidence of any direct threat from these sightings was wholly lacking, related dangers might well exist resulting from: A. Misidentification of actual enemy artifacts by defense personnel. B. Overloading of emergency reporting channels with ‘false’ information. C. Subjectivity of public to mass hysteria and greater vulnerability to possible enemy psychological warfare.” There was also a recommendation that a number of the public UFO investigative groups that existed in the United States at the time, such as the Civilian Flying Saucer Investigators (CFSI) and the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), should be “watched” carefully due to “the apparent irresponsibility and the possible use of such groups for subversive purposes” Now, moving onto later days:

In 1999, Gerald K. Haines – in his position as the historian of the National Reconnaissance Office – wrote a paper titled “CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90.” It’s now in the public domain, as a result of FOIA rules. Haines’ paper largely detailed the history of how, and why, the CIA became interested and involved in the phenomenon of UFOs. Although Haines covered a period of more than forty years, I’ll bring your attention to one particular section of his paper, which is focused on the 1970s-1980s. Haines wrote: “During the late 1970s and 1980s, the Agency continued its low-key interest in UFOs and UFO sightings. While most scientists now dismissed flying saucers reports as a quaint part of the 1950s and 1960s, some in the Agency and in the Intelligence Community shifted their interest to studying parapsychology and psychic phenomena associated with UFO sightings. CIA officials also looked at the UFO problem to determine what UFO sightings might tell them about Soviet progress in rockets and missiles and reviewed its counterintelligence aspects.”
The Soviets, then, were masking their secret, chemical- rocket tests by spreading false and fantastic tales of aliens and UFOs. Haines also noted something that is absolutely key to the story this article tells: “Agency analysts from the Life Science Division of OSI and OSWR officially devoted a small amount of their time to issues relating to UFOs. These included counterintelligence concerns that the Soviets and the KGB were using U.S. citizens and UFO groups to obtain information on sensitive U.S. weapons development programs (such as the Stealth aircraft),the vulnerability of the U.S. air-defense network to penetration by foreign missiles mimicking UFOs, and evidence of Soviet advanced technology associated with UFO sightings [italics mine].” So, there is nothing new, at all, about government agencies taking a serious approach to the UFO phenomenon. As we’ve seen in this article, the U.S. government’s UFO interest was not always for the reasons that so many ufologists wish for (namely, that the government has proof of alien life and, one day, will show it to us).
As the issues surrounding the U.S. government and UFOs continue to grow, we should keep in mind there are likely more than a few alternative reasons why the government, right now, is watching the UFO phenomenon. And, will continue to do so. Will all of that interest be focused on alien life? I say “No.” Politics, Russian spies, counterintelligence, disinformation, and those “subversive purposes” I mentioned above will be the key issues. The UFO subject is not just about UFOs, as strange as that might sound.
August 2000 in the skies above Brighton, a team of Sussex police offers came across something which looked very strange. A bright light was picked up on thermal imaging flying across the sky. It clearly wasn’t an aircraft as the shape didn’t match and the lights on the object were something they’d never seen before. But what could it be? Was it a UFO? ‘Paranormal Files’ is a series that examines some of the most controversial cases recorded in the UK.

A SpaceX flight surgeon and an elite track cyclist are among the new class of 10 astronaut candidates, NASA announced on Monday.
Why it matters:"These NASA astronauts will plan, train and fly missions to the International Space Station and to the Moon under Artemis, and eventually onto Mars," Vanessa Wyche, the director of NASA's Johnson Space Center, said during an event announcing the new astronaut candidates.
How it works: The 10 candidates will move to Houston, Texas, the home of Johnson Space Center, to begin two years of training starting in January 2022.
Once that training ends, the 10 rookies will become official astronauts.
What's happening:More than 12,000 applications were submitted for this round of astronaut selection. Here are the lucky 10, with bio information via NASA:
Nichole Ayers is a major in the U.S. Air Force who is one of a handful of women flying the F-22.
Marcos Berríos is a major in the U.S. Air Force and a test pilot with 1,300 hours of flight time in about 21 aircraft.
Christina Birch taught bioengineering at the University of California, Riverside, and is a U.S. National Team track cyclist.
Deniz Burnhamis a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and works in the energy industry managing drilling projects in Alaska, Canada and Texas, among other places.
Luke Delaneyworked as a pilot at NASA's Langley Research center and has logged more than 3,700 hours of flight time on various aircraft.
Andre Douglas has worked with NASA during his time at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, focusing on various space exploration projects for the space agency.
Jack Hathaway is a commander in the U.S. Navy with 2,500 hours of flight time in about 30 aircraft and 39 combat missions.
Anil Menonwas a SpaceX flight surgeon and is an emergency medicine physician.
Christopher Williams was a medical physicist in the radiation oncology department at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, with research focusing on aiding cancer treatments with imaging.
Jessica Wittner is a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy and serves as a test pilot and aviator.
1 fun thing:One of the astronaut hopefuls took the opportunity during the announcement to pitch a different kind of mission to Mars:
"I think it would be great if NASA could scale up the Ingenuity helicopter that's currently flying on Mars to maybe, you know, fit two people," Berríos said. "I would love to take it for a spin for science."
The company's first flying car, Jetson One, is already on sale. Jetson/Youtube
Jetson One is a $92,000 flying car.
It can reach a top speed of 63mph and can run for 20 minutes.
You can purchase the car anywhere in the world.
If you've always dreamed of flying to work, that dream may very soon be a reality.
If you have $92,000, that is.
Companies are always looking for new market niches, and flying cars are quickly becoming the next big thing.
There are plans for cars that both fly and work on the road and for flying taxis that will aim to form the basis of future travel.
Jetson is one of these companies.
The company aims "to make the skies available for everyone with our safe personal electric aerial vehicle," according to its website.
The company's first flying car, Jetson One, is already on sale.
Jetson One has a maximum speed of 63mph thanks to its eight electric motors which generate 102 horsepower. The car can run continually for 20 minutes.
The car can take off vertically and remain airborne, although the company doesn't specify the maximum altitude that the vehicle can reach.
The car can be controlled with a three-axis joystick, and there's a throttle lever to adjust power.
No expense has been spared when it comes to safety. The chassis of the vehicle was inspired by the same technology used in race cars. The company also said that it will be able to fly even if it loses an engine. There is an emergency function that takes control of the aircraft, a LiDAR sensor capable of tracking the terrain to avoid obstacles, and a parachute with a rapid deployment system.
It's already sold out for 2022 but Jetson has more deliveries scheduled for 2023. If you're interested, you can reserve one online with a deposit of $22,000.
That isn't all. It's shipped as a partially assembled kit and so requires you to complete it at home.

Astronaut Quotes About UFO’s And Extraterrestrial Life
Astronaut Quotes About UFO’s And Extraterrestrial Life
The question of whether or not life exists on other planets has fascinated the human race for centuries. Images of flying saucers and “little green men” are pervasive in our pop culture, and accounts of various a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ encounters continue to attract widespread interest as well as skepticism.
Ever since the infamous Roswell incident took place in 1947, public interest in U̳F̳O̳s has skyrocketed, and the government has repeatedly engaged in a culture of secrecy, double-talk and disinformation regarding what they really know about e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ life.
While speculation and rumors continue to abound, one thing is for certain: There are thousands of accounts of people who claim to have seen U̳F̳O̳s and/or a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳s, as well as harrowing accounts of a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ abductions.
Many of these accounts have been offered by people who could gain no financial or social advantage from sharing their stories. Even if what they’re claiming to have seen or experienced didn’t really happen, something is definitely going on, and it undoubtedly merits our attention.
One of the most stubborn obstacles to the progress of an honest conversation regarding U̳F̳O̳s is this issue of the credibility of witnesses. Simply put, many witnesses of e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ activity have been discredited due to a lack of status or influence.
Whenever someone would finally muster up the courage to come forward and share what he/she experienced, they would inevitably be ridiculed and dismissed as a fraud, a publicity hound, or even mentally unstable. Some have even been victims of vicious character assassination attacks by government officials and media personnel.
For this reason, it is all the more significant when persons of influence come forward and reveal that they have also encountered e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ activity. With the development of government space programs and technological progress in the field of aviation, several highly esteemed pilots, astronauts and cosmonauts have gone on record to confirm that they have personally witness unidentified flying objects that are able to maneuver in ways that defy all known laws of physics.
Many of them have had long, successful careers, and would not have any sane reason to want to destroy their own credibility. The following collection of quotes from these individuals will no doubt leave you with this thought-provoking question: If things are not really as these men are describing, what exactly is happening?
Astronaut Neil Armstrong
“We have no proof, But if we extrapolate, based on the best information we have available to us, we have to come to the conclusion that … other life probably exists out there and perhaps in many places.”– Neil Armstrong, Oct 21, 1999.
Astronaut Story Musgrave
“Statistically it’s a certainty there are hugely advanced c̳i̳v̳i̳l̳i̳z̳a̳t̳i̳o̳n̳s̳, intelligences, life forms out there. I believe they’re so advanced they’re even doing interstellar travel. I believe it’s possible they even came here. It’s logical to presume the universe must have other life in it and by virtue of association that we could be visited at some point.” Astronaut Storey Musgrave.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper
“The evidence points to the fact that Roswell was a real incident and that indeed an a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ craft did crash and that material was recovered from that crash site, says Mitchell, who became the sixth man on the moon in the Apollo 14 mission. Mitchell doesn’t say he’s seen a U̳F̳O̳.
But he says he’s met with high-ranking military officers who admitted involvement with a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ technology and hardware. Cooper told a U.N. committee recently, Every day in the U.S.A. , our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. Cooper speculates that public skepticism toward U̳F̳O̳s will shift dramatically.” — Astronaut Gordon Cooper and Ed Mitchell in an interview.
Cosmonaut Victor Afanasyev
“It followed us during half of our orbit. We observed it on the light side, and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely. It was an engineered structure, made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner hulls.
The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. Some places had projections like small wings. The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it, and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away.
Many cosmonauts have seen phenomena which are far beyond the experiences of earthmen. For ten years I never spoke on such things. The encounter you asked me about happened on May 5, 1981, at about 6 PM, during the Saljut Mission. At that time we were over the area of South Africa, moving towards the area of the Indian ocean.
I just made some gymnastic exercises, when I saw in front of me, through a porthole, an object which I could not explain. It is impossible to determine distances in Space. A small object can appear large and far away and the other way around. Sometimes a cloud of dust appears like a large object.
Anyway, I saw this object and then something happened I could not explain, something impossible according to the laws of Physics. The object had this shape, elliptical, and flew with us. From a frontal view it looked like it would rotate in flight direction.
It only flew straight, but then a kind of explosion happened, very beautiful to watch, of golden light. This was the first part. Then, one or two seconds later, a second explosion followed somewhere else and two spheres appeared, golden and very beautiful.
After this explosion I just saw white smoke, then a cloud-like sphere. Before we entered the darkness, we flew through the terminator, the twilight-zone between day and night. We flew eastwards, and when we entered the darkness of the Earth shadow, I could not see them any longer. The two spheres never returned.” Cosmonaut Victor Afanasyev commenting on a U̳F̳O̳ sighting that occurred while en route to the Solyut 6 space station in April of 1979.
Astronaut Scott Carpenter
“At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by U̳F̳O̳s.” Astronaut Scott Carpenter photographed a U̳F̳O̳ while in orbit on May 24, 1962. NASA still has not released the photograph.
Astronaut Eugene Cernan
“I’ve been asked about U̳F̳O̳s and I’ve said publicly I thought they were somebody else, some other civilization.” Commander Eugene Cernan, Commanded the Apollo 17 Mission-The quote is from a 1973 article in the Los Angeles Times.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper
“I believe that these e̳x̳t̳r̳a̳t̳e̳r̳r̳e̳s̳t̳r̳i̳a̳l̳ vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on Earth.
I feel that we need to have a top level, coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze data from all over the earth concerning any type of encounter, and to determine how best to interface with these visitors in a friendly fashion…. For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts.
I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. And there are thousands of witness reports and a quantity of documents to prove this, but nobody wants to make them public.-Colonel L. Gordon Cooper, Mercury and Gemini Astronaut, in an address to the UN in 1985 after announcing that he had seen and chased U̳F̳O̳s over Germany in the 1950s.
Cooper also reported a greenish object, which passed by his capsule going east to west (opposite normal man-made orbits) while in orbit in May of 1963. The object was tracked by ground-based equipment in Perth, Australia. The press was told it could not question Col. Cooper on this aspect of the mission. I know other astronauts share my feelings…. And we know the government is sitting on hard evidence of U̳F̳O̳s.” Col. Gordon Cooper, January 14, 1997.
“The U.S. Government hasn’t maintained secrecy regarding U̳F̳O̳s It’s been leaking out all over the place. But the way it’s been handled is by denial, by denying the truth of the documents that have leaked. By attempting to show them as fraudulent, as bogus of some sort.
There has been a very large disinformation and misinformation effort around this whole area. And one must wonder, how better to hide something out in the open than just to say, ‘It isn’t there. You’re deceiving yourself if you think this is true.’ And yet, there it is right in front of you.
So it’s a disinformation effort that’s concerning here, not the fact that they have kept the secret. They haven’t kept it. It’s been getting out into the public for fifty years or more.” Dr. Edgar Mitchell, from the same interview.
Astronaut Brian O’Leary
“We have contact with a̳l̳i̳e̳n̳ cultures.” Astronaut Dr. Brian O’leary
Astronaut James McDivitt
“At one stage we even thought it might be necessary to take evasive action to avoid a collision.; Astronaut James McDivitt commenting on an orbital encounter he and Ed White had with a weird object with arm-like extensions which approached their capsule. Later in the flight they saw two similar objects over the Caribbean.” Astronaut James McDivitt
Astronaut Donald Slayton
“I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at about 10,000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon. I thought the object was a kite, then I realized that no kite is gonna fly that high. As I got closer it looked like a weather balloon, gray and about three feet in diameter.
But as soon as I got behind the darn thing it didn’t look like a balloon anymore. It looked like a saucer, a disk. About the same time, I realized that it was suddenly going way from me-and there I was, running at about 300 miles per hour.
I tracked it for a little way, and then all of a sudden the xxxx thing just took off. It pulled about a 45-degree climbing turn and accelerated and just flat disappeared.” Donald Slayton, Mercury astronaut, in a 1951 interview.”

Interstellar exploration might not be lightyears away, at least not in the figurative sense. That's because international research project Breakthrough Starshot just provided an update on its plans to send a probe to Alpha Centauri, our closest neighboring star system.
Before getting there, it will have to develop and test a new type of spacecraft propulsion system that utilizes a lightsail and a laser beam array to reach the immense speeds required for interstellar travel within our lifetimes, a press statement from the Australian National University (ANU) explains.
A 40 trillion kilometer journey through space
Breakthrough Starshot's ultra-lightweight spacecraft will have to travel four light-years to reach Alpha Centauri. To put it another way, our nearest neighboring star system is a mind-shattering 40,208,000,000,000 (40 trillion) km away from Earth.
As a point of reference, our fastest and most reliable technology today for long-range space travel is the ion thruster, which is powering NASA's DART mission to a nearby asteroid at speeds of 15,000 mph (24,000 km/h). However, according to NASA, with the ion thruster, it would take 18,000 years, or approximately 2,700 human generations, to get to Alpha Centauri.
Impressively, the Breakthrough Starshot team believes its spacecraft, with the help of lasers located on Earth, will be able to reach unprecedented speeds, allowing it to travel the distance to Alpha Centauri in only 20 years. If it does reach its destination, the probe spacecraft will then send back the first-ever images taken from another solar system, allowing a never-before-seen window to distant planets that may or may not resemble Earth.
In a new research paper, the ANU team outlined their concept, which is designed to make travel to Alpha Centauri a feasible proposition. The team is developing a tiny probe with a lightsail that will be powered by a powerful laser array from Earth. That laser array will concentrate millions of beams on the sail throughout its interstellar journey, allowing it to reach incredible speeds.
"To cover the vast distances between Alpha Centauri and our own solar system, we must think outside the box and forge a new way for interstellar space travel," Dr. Bandutunga, from the Applied Metrology Laboratories at the ANU Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics, explains.
"Once on its way, the sail will fly through the vacuum of space for 20 years before reaching its destination. During its flyby of Alpha Centauri, it will record images and scientific measurements which it will broadcast back to Earth."
Interstellar spaceflight powered by 100 million lasers
To develop their spacecraft, Breakthrough Starshot and the ANU team rely on the advancement of several key technologies. Lightsails, for example, were only recently proved as a viable form of space travel. In 2019, a Carl Sagan-inspired project called LightSail 2 was able to successfully lift its orbital trajectory around Earth by 3.2 kilometers using a lightsail, or solarsail, propelled by photons from the Sun.
The main challenge, however, will come in the form of the ANU team's state-of-the-art laser array proposal, which will have to precisely train millions of lasers to work in unison. "The Breakthrough Starshot program estimates the total required optical power to be about 100 GW — about 100 times the capacity of the world's largest battery today," Dr. Ward, from the ANU Research School of Physics, says. "To achieve this, we estimate the number of lasers required to be approximately 100 million."

To keep their lasers pointing precisely at the lightsail for the duration of the journey, the ANU team proposes using a 'guide laser' satellite in Earth's orbit, which will act as the conductor, making sure the entire laser array is pointing at the right coordinates. This, alongside an algorithm designed to pre-correct the light from the array, will help to account for the atmosphere distortion the rest of the Earth-bound lasers will suffer.
According to Dr. Bandutunga, "the next step is to start testing some of the basic building blocks in a controlled laboratory setting. This includes the concepts for combining small arrays to make larger arrays and the atmospheric correction algorithms." The ANU team also emphasizes the fact that it is part of a global collaboration and that it is only working on one facet of the ambitious project.
Breakthrough Starshot is one of the Breakthrough Initiatives, a series of scientific and technological programs founded by Yuri Milner, designed to search for life outside of our solar system. If the lightsail prototype does become a reality, it could achieve interstellar travel in our lifetimes by reaching the planets surrounding our second nearest star, Alpha Centauri, which gives its name to its star system. Success for the project, therefore, would elevate human beings to the lofty category of interstellar species. The question is, how many others, if any, are out there?
History's First UFO Abduction in 1572? The Strange and Mysterious Tale of Hans Buchmann
History's First UFO Abduction in 1572? The Strange and Mysterious Tale of Hans Buchmann
November 15, 1572.
The weather in Kriesbuhl, a small picturesque farming village in the foothills of the Swiss Alps is cold, even for that time of year, but clear.
On that day, a Saturday, Hans Buchmann, an impoverished peasant farmer, has a debt to pay. He owes sixteen florins, roughly the equivalent of $600 in today’s money, to a creditor in the nearby market town of Sempach. Hans has been borrowing heavily against his small plot of land to make ends meet and provide for his family.
But no matter how much Hans borrows, the money seems to always disappear and his family remains impoverished.
Lucky for him this fall’s crop has been quite lucrative and he’s saved up the money to pay off his creditor. Now in the crisp early morning sunlight Hans is preparing to walk the four miles to Sempach to pay off his debts. Unfortunately, for Hans, the road from Kriesbuhl to Sempach is mostly uphill and through wooded terrain, but in November of 1572, though the temperatures have been falling steadily over the last several days, no snow has yet fallen on the foothills of the Swiss Alps.
It is a journey that should take just under two hours each way, but Hans Buchman won’t return home for nearly three months.
Hans bundles up against the cold, putting on his woolen overcoat hat and mittens before grabbing his walking stick and departing. Perhaps out of a sense of shame over the debts that he’s incurred, or perhaps because he has other intentions entirely, Hans leaves his house without telling either his wife, or two teenage sons, exactly where he’s going…
Two weeks later, Hans Buchman, dirty and disheveled, and suffering from a splitting headache, awakes to find himself curled up against a stone wall in an alleyway in a strange and unknown city.
His hat, mittens, overcoat and walking stick are nowhere to be seen and he is clothed in nothing more than a ragged shirt and loose fitting pants. Clothes that seem to have once belonged to someone else.
He has no idea where he is. He runs out into the street inquiring of everyone who passes by in German, “Where am I? What city is this?”
But no one responds. Everyone simply walks by this dirty, unkempt madman, supposing Buchmann to be nothing more than some drunken foreign beggar, the kind that is very commonplace in this cosmopolitan early modern city.
It is St. Andrew’s Day, some two weeks after November 15, 1572 and hundreds of men, women and children are out in the streets, as church bells ring and call the faithful to mass.
Hans sees a man dressed in a soldier’s uniform, not unlike those Hans has seen worn by soldiers in his native Sempach. This soldier seems to be a man of authority, one of the many uniformed, heavily armed men that appear to dwell in this strange and overcrowded city.
“Sir,” Hans shouts in German as he runs up to the soldier, “my name is Hans Buchmann. I was traveling to my native city of Sempach but seemed to have lost my way. What city is this?”
The soldier responds in perfect German, “This is Milan and you are a long way from Sempach.”
1500's Milan
Hans Buchmann, somehow, has ended up over 150 miles from home. He had set out, two weeks ago, on a two hour’s journey from his native village of Kriesbuhl, a simple walk of four miles he had undertaken perhaps hundreds of times before, and ended up on the other side of the Alps in Italy, over a five days journey from his native village.
He has no idea how he got there.
The soldier who answered Hans’ desperate question, is as it turned out, Swiss and he is one of the many thousands of foreign mercenaries who regularly come to Milan to prop up that city’s defenses during the ongoing and interminable wars between the independent Italian city-states.
This soldier, along with other Swiss soldiers of fortune, helps Hans return home. For Hans the journey home in winter, over high snow covered mountain passes is long and arduous. It takes weeks for Hans Buchmann to reach Kriesbuhl. By the time he reaches the doorstep of his farmhouse it is already the first week of February 1573.
In the interim, Hans’ two sons had set out along the same overland trail as Hans on the way to Sempach in search of their missing father. They found Hans’ coat, hat, mittens and walking stick lying by the roadside at the edge of a forest outside of town, but upon reaching Sempach and inquiring of as many locals as they could find as to the possible whereabouts of their father, no one reported having seen him in at least two weeks.
Some residents of Sempach did report that they had seen Hans enter the town on the afternoon of November 15, 1572 and that he had stopped at a local tavern to have a drink, but after that the trail had gone cold.
During the sixteenth century it was common for towns and cities in central Europe to have a local chronicler, who would record events for posterity in a town chronicle, that would be kept in city record offices. It appears that when Hans Buchmann, did eventually return home, and told his fantastical tale of having ended up, by means unknown over 150 miles away in Milan, Italy that he was questioned by both a chronicler and a magistrate from the nearby German city of Rothenburg.
Original Chronicle from 1573
Hans' tale is so improbable that, suspecting some form of foul play or subterfuge on the part of the debtor, the magistrate demands a full investigation into the matter and requests that Hans Buchmann present himself at the Rothenburg police station at once.
Under intense questioning by the magistrate, as recorded in the Rothenburg city chronicle for the year 1573, Hans Buchmann admitted that he had first set out on his journey to Sempach carrying sixteen florins because he owed the money to a man named Hans Schiirmann the proprietor of the Romerswill Inn in Sempach
Sempach Romerswill Inn
Though the historical record is unclear as to whether or not Hans Buchmann ever explicitly stated what he exactly owed the money for, it would appear that the sixteen florins may have been some sort of drinking debt that he owed, like a bar tab gone out of control, since a 16th century inn was more akin to a modern tavern or dive bar rather than a sort of hotel.
Hans Buchmann said that he stopped at Schiirman’s home but that Schiirman was not there, and that unable to pay his debts at that moment, he then went to another local inn to have a drink.
It is at this point that Hans Buchmann’s story begins to get a little sketchy to say the least. Buchmann admitted to drinking on the day of his disappearance, but he claimed he couldn’t remember exactly how much though he stated to the magistrate that, “it was just a little.”
He claimed that he left the unnamed tavern a few hours later, just before sunset and decided to set off on his way home figuring that he would pay his debt back to Schiirman on another, later date, when the proprietor of the Romerswill Inn was at home.
Hans Bruchmann told the magistrate and chronicler of Rothenburg that the last thing he could remember while walking along a wooded trail on the outskirts of Sempach was hearing a loud and insistent buzzing sound. He said that he could recall looking up into the sky and seeing a bright light while being completely enveloped by a buzzing sound like a swarm of bees and lifted up into the night sky towards the light.
The next thing that Hans said he could remember was waking up in an alleyway in Milan with a pounding headache two weeks later and over one-hundred and fifty miles away.
In her book on European folklore surrounding the holiday season entitled The Old Magic of Christmas (Llewellyn Publications 2013) author, historian and folklorist Linda Raedisch states of Hans Buchmann, “(W)hen he was first set upon, he thought he was under attack by a swarm of bees, but the buzzing then revealed itself into a terrible scraping of bows on fiddle strings. We don’t know what really happened to Hans...but it is interesting that he should have mentioned how the buzzing of bees preceded his being lifted up and carried above the treetops.” (Raedisch 12)
Buzzing, noise and lights would indicate, perhaps the existence of some sort of craft, or motor, something that would have been completely unknown to a peasant farmer from the Swiss Alps in the year 1572.
It is also interesting to note that the night sky was extremely active with intriguing celestial phenomena at the time of Hans Buchmann’s supposed disappearance. In fact, only four days prior on November 11, 1572, Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe had become the first person in history to witness a supernova. Brahe, using crude astronomical instruments, had observed and recorded an enormous explosion in the night sky, what he incorrectly deemed the “birth” of a new star in the constellation Cassiopeia. In reality, what Brahe had seen, pretty much with his naked eye alone, was the death of a star, an explosion so enormous that it could easily be seen from billions of lightyears away. The type of celestial event that would have been readily visible to any extraterrestrial civilization anywhere in our galaxy.
Tycho Brahe's sketch of a Supernova
So, with all this talk of bright lights, buzzing and stars exploding in outer space was Hans Bruchmann the unsuspecting victim of history’s first ever verifiably recorded alien abduction?
Maybe, but maybe not.
In her book historian and folklorist Raedisch readily admits, “We don’t really know what happened to Hans...just before his disappearance he had borrowed some money without asking, so he had plenty of reason to fabricate the tale.” (Raedisch 12)
If his debt, was in fact a drinking debt, or if he never had the money to even pay back the debt in the first place, maybe he just conveniently decided to make himself disappear and then return once he supposed enough time had elapsed to allow him to think up a fanciful cover story and protect him from debtor’s prison.
Perhaps, Hans Buchmann simply went on a two week long drinking binge and wandered into Milan, or maybe, just maybe he ended up so far away from home via otherworldly means.
Hans Buchmann may have been history’s first documented victim of alien abduction, or he may simply have been a man filled with shame, who attempted to hide the truth about his debts and his addiction from his family. History will never know for sure...
It has never been easy for those who claim to have been abducted by aliens to convince their friends and family, let alone persuade authorities to investigate or plead their case in the court of public opinion. A recent incident in La Palma, Argentina, is becoming a classic case. A woman disappeared, is found wandering a day later 40 miles away, claims the last thing she remembers is a loud noise and bright lights, comes forward to identify herself and explain the experience to the media, and is doubted by UFO experts.
“I got up, drank two or three mates and began to see that the phone had some lines, something like interference.”
“The power went out, I walked outside and from there I don’t remember anything else. I did not see a light or anything, I only heard the wind as very strong and nothing else.”
“The next day she was sitting on the street, with her legs extended, her arms above her legs. When I open my eyes, I see the street and I look to one side, I see the edge and the other side the edge as well. I don’t remember how long I was sitting.” Google translation
Irma Rick, the woman who was said to have been be abducted by aliens on November 16, gave an interview to Canal Crónica TV, which was reported on by Infopico.com and Inexplicata. As noted in the original coverage, Irma also had a UFO encounter in 2002. Initial investigations by authorities mentioned that she was in no physical condition to have walked that far, was found in a severe state of shock and amnesia, and tracking dogs mysteriously lost her scent very near to her home.
“I only discussed it with my husband and my kids. What were they going to say? They’re just as startled as me. I would like to know what happened to me, but I still don’t know anything.”
(Irma, did you have any marks on your body?) “Yes, I have something that was done to my head. That’s all I have.”
Irma told the reporters she had no explanation for what happened to her and nor how she got the mark on her head. The reporters questioned her for any concrete evidence of a UFO or aliens – impressions in the ground – and she could not provide any. At the end, she agreed to be interviewed further by UFO researchers.
Luis Burgos (FAO-ICOU) is a well known South American UFO investigator. While he did not interview Imra Rick directly, he reviewed her testimony and the reports. In his report, he notes immediately that “there is nothing at all beyond the alleged abductee’s story.” No UFO investigators checked the site for radiation, electromagnetism, marks, prints or other signs of a UFO landing or alien contact. Burgos found Irma’s testimony on her UFO encounter in 2002. In that case, she reported seeing a UFO above her silo. Police later found that “bird droppings were burned on the silo and “pigeons no longer stop there like they used to.”
Again, no such investigation occurred after the latest incident, but what really bothered Burgos is Irma’s cellphone. While it’s odd that aliens would have allowed her to take in when abducted, what he finds really odd is that the investigators didn’t take away from her. The battery “was remarkably unaffected” during her disappearance and three calls were made from it. A GPS or phone company search would give the locations of the calls and the path the cellphone and Irma took during her 24-hour disappearance. That would make this “one of the easiest UFO cases to solve.”
If that’s the case, why wasn’t the phone inspected and the case solved? This would have been key evidence if Irma Rick was kidnapped, had some sort of medical lack-of-memory event or some other non-alien incident. Did the alien abduction story taint the investigation? Or was the police investigation controlled by the aliens? At this point, either is possible.
The case of Irma Rick is easy to doubt and hard to prove. It’s still unsolved.
CRONICA TV Interviews Teleportation (or Abduction) Victim
Argentina: Interview with Irma About her
Teleportation (or Abduction) Experience
[An interview with the experience, conducted by Marco Bustamante (interviewer), Esteban (news presenter) and an unidentified woman, also a presenter for CRONICA-TV. Irma is the woman abducted by an alleged UFO in La Pampa. She saw a very bright light in her patio, vanished for 24 hours, and reappeared 65 kilometers away.]
Interviewer: We’re here in La Pampa with Irma. What a fright!
Irma: Yes, it was a fright. I don’t even know how to explain it.
Interviewer: Could you tell us what happened?
Irma: Yes, see here. My husband went away to look after another property and…he left, and I got up, had two or three cups of mate, I played around with the phone and such, drinking mate early in the morning, then the phone began getting crisscrossed with lines, like when the service is going out –
Interviewer; [interrupts] So it was interference?
Irma: Yes, yes. I suddenly began hearing a buzzing, like when the wind whistles against a window
Interviewer: A windstorm on the phone
Irma: Yes, a buzzing, a loud whistling, so, ah, I told myself –
Interviewer: But it was outside?
Irma: I’ll tell you. When I looked at the phone, and heard this sound, I went outside, thinking my husband had forgotten something. I stepped out as far as there [points] where that little dog is.
Interviewer:
[camera pans right]
Irma: Up to there. That’s as far as I remember. Ten meters. I remember nothing more.
Interviewer: So four or five meters to the dog, and you lost sight of everything?
Irma: By the time I got here, I had no memory of anything.
Interviewer: [to camera] Friends, Irma is the woman about whom everyone has spoken, but this is the first time she’s speaking out.
News Presenter: Mirta, it’s such a pleasure to speak with you…
Interviewer: Irma, Irma
News Presenter: I’m so sorry, I’m awful with names. I apologize. Tell me, what is it that you remember?
Irma: As far as remembering, I remember very little. All I remember is the interference to my phone, the signal was lost. At that time, I stepped outside to where we have a covered porch, and I recall nothing else after that. I didn’t see any lights or anything at all. All I heard was the wind, a lot of wind, like an incredibly powerful wind.
News Presenter: And you woke up the next day somewhere else? Am I right in saying this? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Irma: Yes, yes. Look, all I remember is that I wasn’t sure if it was night or day. I tried to open my eyes and all I could see was lights, many, many lights. And everything was white, as white as snow, you see. Just like that. But that same brightness didn’t let me open my eyes. It was something that kept my eyes from opening up.
News Presenter: And you couldn’t tell if it was day or night, or where you were?
Irma: No, no. No, no, no. Nothing. Nothing at all.
News Presenter: And you couldn’t hear anything or see anything?
Irma: Only the light, a very bright light that made my eyes shut again.
Interviewer: What did you feel?
Irma: I have no idea. No idea whatsoever. The next day I remember –
Woman’s voice: Yes, please tell us.
Interviewer: Go ahead, tell us, tell us.
Irma: What I do remember the next day is that I was sitting on the street with my legs outstretched, my arms on my legs. When I opened my eyes, I saw the street, I was at the edge of the street, I could see the other side, but I don’t remember how long I was sitting there.
Woman: And that’s what I was going to ask you. You disappeared for 24 hours. Do you remember the perception of time that you had? Did you feel 24 hours had gone by?
Irma: No
Woman: Did it feel like six months?
Irma: No, I only know what they told me. I don’t remember how long I was –
News Presenter: Right, and the place you turned up…was it known to you, did you recognize it or not?
Irma: Yes, because I’d gone by there. Which is why I’m telling you, after I got up, I walked around, I felt my body and noticed that I had my phone, right? The phone was in the pocket of my housecoat and it was on.
Woman: Your phone was on?
Irma: I don’t know how long –
Woman: Yes.
Irma: I don’t know how long I wandered around until I began reacting. When I looked at the phone, and saw it was on, I saw the time was 5:10 in the morning. That much I recall.
Reporter: So at what time did you vanish?
Irma: Look, it must have been around 7 in the morning.
Interviewer: 7 in the morning on Monday, and you appeared on 5 in the morning on Tuesday.
Irma: No, I disappeared on a Tuesday and reappeared on Wednesday
Interviewer: Ah, because that hadn’t been ascertained so far, getting the dates right. You were gone on Tuesday and came back on Wednesday.
Irma: Supposedly it was Wednesday.
News Presenter: That means there’s a one-night window of absence between Tuesday and Wednesday
Irma: Yes, yes.
Woman: Twenty-four hours
News Presenter: A little less than that, though. Twelve hours.
Irma: I don’t know, because I was around seven in the morning that I went outside and then appeared the next day as far as I know.
Interviewer: At five-thirty more or less. And when you came to and regained consciousness, you had enough presence of mind to take photos?
Irma: No, that came later. What I did first was phone my children. But I couldn’t speak. I started texting the kids. They tried to video call me, but all I could do was move my hands around, because I couldn’t [speak].
News Presenter: How? How did you move your hands around?
Irma: I moved my hands around because I couldn’t speak. Words wouldn’t come.
News Presenter: But you were able to see your phone?
Irma: Of course, and that’s why I began to text.
Woman: What you did was get in touch by messaging.
Irma: Of course, it was the first thing I did.
News Presenter: In fact, when you got to the hospital, you still weren’t able to speak.
Irma: No, no, it was a long time later that I –
Woman: When were you able to speak?
Irma: I don’t know. I couldn’t tell you. I remember what happened from 5:30 in the morning to around 10:30 more or less.
Interviewer: What did they tell you at the hospital?
Irma: No, nothing. They just asked me questions, much as you’re doing right now. I gestured, because it was the only way I could answer
News Presenter: Irma, evidently, this is the first time you’re telling your story…the possible abduction…is that how you say it? By a UFO, in the enormity of the province of La Pampa. Now, you’ve surely told this to your friends, relatives, acquaintances. How did you say it, and how was it received? Did they believe you or not?
Interviewer: [to News Presenter] Esteban, look at this. This is the first time she’s spoken to anyone about it, except her husband. This is the first time she’s spoken about it.
Irma: And with my kids. I only discussed it with my husband and my kids.
News Presenter: And what did they say?
Irma: What were they going to say? They’re just as startled as me. I would like to know what happened to me, but I still don’t know anything.
News Presenter: But your children…you have two, is that right?
Irma: Three, three.
News Presenter: Your three children and your husband – I understand you all live together there in this farmhouse?
Irma: I’m sorry?
News Presenter: You all live together in the farmhouse?
Irma: No, not at all. My children are in town. I’m out here alone with my husband.
News Presenter: With your husband. So your husband was an entire day without seeing you?
Irma: Yes. Look, maybe it would be better if he told you.
Interviewer: What impresses me is –
News Presenter: [overlapping]
Interviewer: Esteban, do you know what impresses me? Is that to get to the place where she was found, you have to make a complete turn. You have no idea how complicated it is to get here. We’re some 20 kilometers away from the town, but you need at least between forty minutes to an hour by car to get here, because the road isn’t lovely, there are many parts…you even have to drive across a stream…how were able to do all this? What explanation do you have?
Irma: What can I tell you?
Woman: Your clothes were clean.
Interviewer: When you were found, your clothes were clean.
Irma: Yes, but they said I was very dirty, smelly…at least that what they said.
Interviewer: So you walked 60 kilometers?
News Presenter: Excuse me, if you were able to walk sixty kilometers on rural roads, dusty roads, at the very least your shoes or slippers would be covered in dirt, at the very least. Your clothes too, but the footwear, definitely.
Irma: Yes, but no matter how much, I don’t think I could walk such a distance in that time.
Woman: Irma, did you have any marks on your body?
Irma: Yes, I have something that was done to my head. That’s all I have.
Woman: They did what?
Interviewer: [to Irma] You stay right where you are. We’re going to move the camera to show it. Where is the cut, Irma? Where is the cut on your head?
Irma: On top.
Interviewer: Okay, on top. We’re going to be showing you live this incision that appeared on her head.
[Irma brushes her hair aside with her right hand, camera focuses in to show a dark pink mark on the scalp.]
News Presenter: Look at that cut! so weird. This is incredible, Marco! It’s a meticulous incision. And a tough one to do, am I right?
Irma: What I want is an explanation. How would I do this to myself?
Interviewer: I have a confession to make. You know, Irma’s case made me think of…do you remember the case of the Chinese woman who left Ezeiza Airport, walked a few kilometers, she’d suffered a stroke and was unconsciously doing some things. Did the doctors tell you if you’d had a stroke or anything?
Irma: Well, they took me to [the town of] General Acha, they performed X-rays and [earpiece falls out]
Interviewer: [fumbles to replace Irma’s earpiece]
News Presenter: It’s very strange, the thing about your head.
Woman: Very strange.
Irma: It’s as if –
[On screen caption: “They Performed a Tomography and There’s Nothing To Be Seen”]
Interviewer: Can I ask you a favor? Could you get up and show us where it happened? Come, come, that way we walk around a little [puts earpiece into Irma’s ear. Both walk to the middle of the property. News Presenter thanks Irma for agreeing to the interview]. You were there, by that blue curtain, is that your dining room?
News Presenter: It was seven o’clock in the morning, is that right?
Irma: Yes, yes. That’s the house. [Points to door and a cement path leading to a covered car port] I walked right up to there. From the blue curtain to where the little white car is.
Interviewer: So the abduction took place right there?
Irma: I don’t remember, but I know I got that far.
News Presenter: There’s interference, Marco. Did you step on a wire or is there something else going on?
Interviewer: I’m using the cordless mike, no wires involved.
News Presenter: Maybe I’m going deaf. Anyway, go on, go on.
Interviewer: [Pointing at spot] So that’s where it would have taken place [Buzzing metallic interference becomes noticeable]
Irma: Yes, as far as I know, it was right there. I don’t remember anything beyond that.
Interviewer: [to News Presenter] Esteban, let me tell you…the distance from the door to the entrance of the rural road is at least one kilometer. If there was a vehicle involved, she would have noticed. Right, Irma?
Irma: Yes, I suppose I would have. Aside from that, take a look, all I could hear was the wind. A very strong wind that seemed to suck you in, but that’s where I lost consciousness.
Interviewer: Yes, it’s very odd
News Presenter: The production staff is checking the weather forecast for that day and there was no call for strong winds, at least from what the records show.
Interviewer: [Walks with Irma to the carport, which contains a Mitsubishi SUV. A sleeping dog gets up and walks away. Camera focuses on two sizeable indentations in the soil] We’re standing exactly on the spot where the abduction took place. [Looks at Irma] The place you were kidnapped.
Irma: Yes, yes.
Interviewer: And from here, to the place where you were found, there’s a 60 kilometer distance.
Irma: That’s more or less what they say.
Interviewer: [To News Presenter] But notice something. Irma takes very short steps.
News Presenter: [Interested in the indentations] Would those be the mark, the record, of the event? Am I saying it right or not?
Interviewer: Now we’re noticing the interference. We got cut off.
Woman: Did you notice that?
Interviewer: There’s some sort of interference.
News Presenter: I was saying that those indentations, depressions on the soil…could they be a record of the event? Could it be a key to this investigation?
Interviewer: Was there a ground impression, ma’am?
Irma: No, I don’t think so. Well, I didn’t see anything, so I don’t know.
Interviewer: [To News Presenter] Esteban, a little context here…
News Presenter: Stop, we saw what looked like a pit of some sort. Or is it a natural depression on the soil?
Irma: No, that’s something the dog does.
News Presenter: Oh, OK, nothing to do with it at all. And Irma, could you tell me, how did the animals react? The dog, the cats…how did they react?
Interviewer: Dogs are highly sensitive.
Irma: I couldn’t tell you.
Interviewer: You weren’t there.
Irma: There’s nothing I can say.
Woman: Did you hear them bark?
Irma: Can’t tell you. All I know is that I got this far and…that’s all I know.
Interviewer: This is all very strange, guys. Very, very odd.
News Presenter: Irma, would you be willing to tell your story to an agency tied to the research into these matters?
Irma: No, I didn’t speak to anyone.
News Presenter: But would you be willing to do so?
Irma: Yes, yes.

NASA Captures What No One Was Supposed To See
NASA Captures What No One Was Supposed To See
We may often think about the universe – how it came to being, what are its components and what is going on in its different parts? It is a complex situation as our mind must be entangled with unending series of enquirers and no simple answer is available. But thanks to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) we can finally quench our thirst for knowledge. We can hear the music of the moon and appreciate the butterfly made of stars, you can see space salad and so many other incredible things which NASA has shared with us. Today, we will discuss some astonishing mysteries of outer space discovered by NASA. It would not have been possible for us to know about any of these if it wasn’t for the hard work of genius minds working at this facility.

Red orb Over Marina, Vallejo, California, 12-7-2021, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 7, 2021 Location of sighting: Vallejo, California, USA Source: MUFON
Watch this family stop the car, get out and begin recording these two glowing lights in the sky. One red and one blue. A plane passes by them which allows us to get an estimate of the size of the UFOs which comes out to half the size of a car or 2 meters across. UFOs often travel in pairs for safety reasons and here we see such an occurrence. The UFOs probably came from below the water in the Marina. Any alien craft that can travel in space, can also travel in water or air. Since in was near the ocean...its safe to assume it came from an under water alien base and wanted to do some research of the how people are doing in Vallejo. 100% proof that aliens exist.
Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
Eyewitness states:
Red orb moving as we where driving to the Marina. We where headed to see the Christmas light in town. Looking up we saw a red orb flying then stopped abruptly. We parked and got out to record it. It stayed in place for about five min then disappeared.
New developments in the global mystery surrounding UFOs with host Michael Usher and investigative journalist Ross Coulthart. An Australian witness to the infamous Westall incident in Melbourne finally breaks their silence about a cover-up.

The UFO Phenomenon | Full Documentary 2021 | 7NEWS Spotlight
It is now beyond doubt that strange, anomalous objects filling our skies and caught on camera are the real deal. Even the Pentagon admits it’s true. These seemingly intelligently controlled craft are operating above the clouds, in our oceans and in our orbit – travelling at hypersonic speeds far beyond any known human technology and completing manoeuvres unknown to science.
The subject of conspiracy and derision for years, UFOs are now the hottest topic in Washington and the world.
Five-time Walkley Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart – who has been investigating the phenomena for the past two years – led the 7NEWS Spotlight team across the US, amassing never-before-seen compelling evidence and speaking to the key players behind an event that will change the course of history.
Featuring interviews with the highest echelons of military defence and intelligence officials, leading researchers, scientists and witnesses in America and Australia, this mind-blowing documentary years in the making seeks to answer the most fundamental question there is: are we alone?
The US director of national intelligence is expected to hand down an unclassified report next month that will change our understanding of life itself. On Spotlight, we reveal what is in that report.
7NEWS Spotlight: The UFO Phenomenon unearths startling new evidence of Australian Government cover-ups and extraordinary vision of unidentified aerial phenomena in Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland – all credible and important additions to the worldwide data being accumulated by the US.
For Coulthart, the project has become the most fascinating and challenging of his career, becoming the focus of his new book 'In Plain Sight', available now in Australia and soon in other territories:

A pilot has claimed that he saw an entire fleet of UFOs over the Pacific Ocean. He further said that the suspected alien aircraft took the form of ‘weird’ rotating lights moving across the sky.
Pilot Spots ‘Fleet of UFOs' Flying Over Pacific Ocean
Viral Video: Aliens have always been a source of curiosity and fascination for humans and every once in a while, new theories and revelations come to light. Now, a pilot has claimed that he saw an entire fleet of UFOs over the Pacific Ocean. He further said that the suspected alien aircraft took the form of ‘weird’ rotating lights moving across the sky. According to a report by Mirror, the pilot said he was flying over the Pacific Ocean at the time, and he had no idea what the lights could be – other than a fleet of UFOs flying in formation.
In a video that he managed to capture, one can see three rows of lights – some with four dots and some with three. According to reports, the video has shot at a height of 39,000-feet. “I don’t know what that is. That is some weird s***,” the pilot is heard saying. The lights disappeared from the view after a while.
Watch the video here:
The video has gone viral, intriguing social media users who said that it was the best UFO clip they had seen. Others weren’t convinced and pointed out that the lights could be anti-missile flares shot from a warship. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

Philip Schneider (23 April 1947—10 January 1996) was a lecturer on Dulce Base. He had been on lecture tour for two years, prior to his death, speaking out about government cover-ups, black projects and UFO phenomena. His motivation to speak out in public, may have been from the death of his friend, Ron Rummel, publisher of Alien Digest, who died on 6th August, 1993, from allegedly having shot himself with a gun.

Astronaut Joseph A. Walker Saw UFOs
Joseph Walker
On May 11, 1962 NASA pilot Joseph Walker said that one of his tasks was to detect UFOs during his X-15 flights. He had filmed five or six UFOs during his record breaking fifty-mile-high flight in April, 1962. It was the second time he had filmed UFOs in flight. During a lecture at the Second National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Space Research in Seattle, Washington he said: “I don’t feel like speculating about them. All I know is what appeared on the film which was developed after the flight.” – Joseph Walker. To date none of those films has been released to the public for viewing.
Joseph A. Walker was a Chief Research Pilot at the NASA Flight Research Center during the mid-1960s. Walker was the recipient of many awards during his 21 years as a research pilot.
Walker made the first NASA X-15 flight on March 25, 1960. He flew the research aircraft 24 times attained a speed of 4,104 mph (Mach 5.92) during a flight on June 27, 1962, and reached an altitude of 354,300 feet on August 22, 1963
President Reagan Chased UFOs
Gorbachev and Reagan
On June 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan spoke the people of West Berlin at the base of the Brandenburg Gate, near the Berlin wall stating, “. Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall.” The speech began the destruction of Soviet Communism.
Ronald Reagan claimed to have seen UFOs on at least two occasions. Allegedly, before he was governor of California, he and Nancy were on their way up the Pacific coast highway to a dinner party. They arrived half an hour late and distraught saying they had seen a UFO and that was why they were late and possibly abducted. They did not explain the time delay.
Later when Governor of California, he asked his pilots to chase a UFO. He alerted the Navy to one of his sightings, and he and
On June 8, 1982, President Reagan spoke to the British House of Commons and called the Soviet Union an “Evil Empire.” Almost a year later, President Reagan in a television speech announced on March 23, 1983, the US was building the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) later known as the
“Star Wars” program. The system was designed to destroy missiles in flight and UFOs.
In 1985, at the summit meeting Soviet premier, Mikhail Gorbachev states, Reagan asked me, “What would you do if the United States were suddenly attacked by someone from outer space; would you help us?” I said, ‘No doubt about it.’” “Gorbachev said, ‘We would help you too.”
Attacking UFO on to USSR
“At our meeting in Geneva, the U.S. President said that if the earth faced an invasion by extraterrestrials, the United States and the Soviet Union would join forces to repel such an invasion. I shall not dispute that hypothesis.” Gorbachev confirmed the earlier Geneva conversation in a speech to the Central Committee in the Kremlin Palace.
In the Summit Meeting in Iceland during October of 1986, astonishingly, Reagan offered to share the Stars Wars weapons system with the Soviets. The Star Wars system was the most expensive weapons system ever conceived and parts are still being designed and built.
President Reagan repeated in several public speeches, ‘the alien threat to the consternation of his staff and he was receiving UFO data every morning.
President Ronald Reagan’s remarks made to the United Nations, on September 21, 1987,
“In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us realize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you,
IS NOT AN ALIEN FORCE ALREADY AMONG US?””
Triangles Attack Key Points in Soviet Union
Soviet Communist KGB Colonels claim large triangular craft were attacking Soviet installations. These drawings were provided to me by a Soviet KGB Colonel who felt this was the real cause of the demise of Soviet Communism. I said, “We were told financial weakness was the cause.” He indicated they were in better financial shape than ever.. .
The Soviet Union mysteriously gave up its position as one of the world’s greatest powers and splintered into multiple nations. Its leader at the time was Mikhail Gorbachev who has made several public statements about the reality of a covert extraterrestrial presence visiting Earth. He stated,
‘The phenomenon of UFO’s does exist, and it must be treated seriously.’The Russian anti-missile-missile system remains in operation today as the upgraded A-135 anti-ballistic missile system.
ECETI (Enlightened Contact with extra Terrestrial Intelligence
Triangle Alien Craft
ECETI (Enlightened Contact with extra Terrestrial Intelligence where contact happens virtually every night. Many massive ships are seen flying over America. Military helicopters and jets attempt to chase the UFOs but they easily out distance, maneuver or simply disappear.
Air Force RB-47, equipped with ECM saw UFO
RB-47
Dr. James McDonald wrote, “Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) gear, manned by six officers, followed a UFO over a total distance in excess of 600 miles and for more than an hour, as it flew from near Gulfport, Mississippi, through Louisiana and Texas, and into Oklahoma. The unidentified object was seen visually by the cockpit crew as an intense white or red light.”
White UFO
The UFO was followed by ground-radar, and detected on ECM monitoring gear aboard the RB-47. Simultaneous appearances and disappearances on all three of those physically distinct “channels” mark this UFO case as especially intriguing from a scientific viewpoint.
Summary of the Case:
The case is long and involved and filled with well-attested phenomena that defy easy explanation in terms of present-day science and technology. The RB-47 was flying out of Forbes AFB, Topeka, Kansas on a composite mission including gunnery exercises over the Texas-Gulf area, navigation exercises over the open Gulf, and ECM exercises in the return trip. This was an RB-47 carrying a six-man crew, of whom three were electronic warfare officers manning ECM (Electronic counter-measures) gear in the aft portion of the aircraft. One of the extremely interesting aspects of this case is that electromagnetic signals of distinctly radar-like character appeared definitely to be emitted by the UFO, yet it exhibited performance characteristics that o rule out any conventional or secret aircraft.
I have discussed the incident with all six officers of the aircrew:
Major Lewis D. Chase, pilot, Spokane, Wash. Captain James H. McCoid, copilot, Offutt AFB Major Thomas H. Hanley, navigator, Vandenberg AFB Captain John J. Provenzano, No. 1 monitor, Wichita Captain Frank B. McClure, No. 2 monitor, Offutt AFB Lieutenant Walter A. Tuchscherer, No. 3 monitor, Topeka
Typical Aircrew
The Aircraft Commander pilot Chase was a Major at the time; I failed to ask for information on 1957 ranks of the others. McClure and Hanley are currently Majors, so might have been Captains or Lieutenants in 1957. All were experienced men at the time. Condon Project investigators only talked with Chase, McCoid, and McClure. I ascertained. In my checking it proved necessary to telephone several of them more than once to pin down key points; nevertheless the total case is so complex that I would assume that there are still salient points not clarified either by the Colorado investigators or by myself. Unfortunately, there appears to be no way, at present to locate the personnel involved in ground-radar observations that are a very important part of the whole case. I shall discuss that point below.
Disc UFO
This flight occurred in September, 1957, just prior to the crew’s reassignment to a European base. On questioning by Colorado investigators, flight logs were consulted, and based on the recollection that this flight was within a short time of departure from Forces to Germany, (plus the requirement that the date match a flight of the known type and geography.
The incident is most inadequately described in the Condon Report that does not mention the intercept is over an hour for over 600 miles. In case after case in the Condon Report, close checking reveals that quite significant features of the cases have been seriously misrepresented.
RB-47 left Forbes and flew to Gulf o saw UFO at Gulfport
I assembled a picture of the events. Just as the aircraft crossed the Mississippi coast near Gulfport, McClure, manning the #2 monitor, detected a signal near their 5 o’clock position. It looked to him like a legitimate ground-radar signal, but corresponded to a position out in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the actual beginning of the complete incident.
Under conditions of war, bombing aircraft entering hostile territory can be assisted in their penetrations if any of a variety of electronic countermeasures (ECM techniques) are brought into action against ground-based enemy radar units.
Soviet Radars
The initial step in all ECM operations is, necessarily, that of detecting the enemy radar and identifying relevant features of the radar system such as radar frequency, pulse repetition, scan rate, pulse width and, the bearing relative to the aircraft heading. The latter task is particularly ample in principle, calling only for direction-finding antennas which pick up the enemy signal and display on a monitor scope inside the reconnaissance aircraft a blip or lobe that paints in the relative bearing from which the signal is coming.
ECM Gear
The ECM gear used in RB-47’s in 1957 is not now classified; the #2 monitor that McClure was on, he and the others pointed out, involved an ALA-6 direction-finder with back-to-back antennas in a housing on the undersurface of the RB-47 near the rear, spun at either 150 or 300 rpm as it scanned in azimuth. Inside the aircraft, its signals were processed in an APR-9 radar receiver and an ALA-5 pulse analyzer. All later references to the McClure at #2 monitor imply that system. The #1 monitor employed an APD-4 direction finding system, with a pair of antennas permanently mounted on either wing tip. Provenzano was on the #1 monitor. Tuchscherer was on the #3 monitor.
McClure at first thought he had 180-degree ambiguity in his ALA-6 scope, as the signal was at both his 5 o’clock and the 11 o’clock position moving up scope perhaps from some ground radar in Louisiana. Fixed ground-radar paints on the ECM monitor down scope as the RB-47 flies toward its direction.
As the lobe continued moving up scope, McClure said the strength of the incoming signal and its pulse characteristics all tended to confirm that this was some ground unit being painted. It was at 2800 megacycles, a common frequency for S-band search radars. The lobe swung over to the 11 o’clock position and continued down scope. The lobe was so anomalous that McClure did not mention it to anyone.
This up scope-down scope “orbit” of the unknown was seen only by McClure. The signal faded as the RB-47 headed north to the turning point over Jackson, Miss. The mission called for simulated detection and ECM operations against Air Force ground radars. Shortly after making their turn westward over Jackson, the pilot saw a light.
Light
The pilot Chase noted what he thought at first were the landing lights coming in from his 11 o’clock position, at the RB-47’s altitude. But no running lights were discernible and it was a single very bright white light, closing fast. He had just alerted the rest of the crew to be ready for sudden evasive maneuvers, when he and McCoid saw the light change directions and rush across from left to right at an angular velocity that Chase never saw before. The light went from their 11 o’clock to the 2 o’clock position with great rapidity, and then blinked out.
Immediately after that, Plot Chase and McCoid began talking about it on the interphone and McClure, recalling the unusual 2800 megacycle signal that he had seen over Gulfport. He then set his #2 monitor to scan at 2800 mcs and got a strong 2800 mcs signal from their 2 o’clock position. The 2800 megacycle per second radiation is associated with type II and type IV solar radio bursts.
Provenzano told me that right after that they had checked out the #2 monitor and it was in perfect order. He then checked on his #1 monitor and also got a signal from the same bearing. As the aircraft continued westward at about 500 knots. the relative bearing of the 2800 mcs source did not move down scope on the #2 monitor, but kept up with them.
This quickly led to a situation in which the entire 6-man crew focused all attention on the matter and is vivid in the minds of all the men. Chase varied speed, to see if the relative bearing would change but nothing altered. After over a hundred miles of this, with the 2800 mgs source keeping pace with the aircraft, they were getting into the radar-coverage of the Carswell AFB GCI (Ground Controlled Intercept) unit and Chase radioed that unit to ask if they showed any other air traffic near the RB-47.
Pilot’s View from Cockpit, copilot sits behind Pilot
Carswell GCI notifies Chase immediately with the information that there was apparently another aircraft about 10 miles from them at their 2 o’clock position. (The RB-47 was identifiable by its Identification, friend or foe (IFF) signal; the “other aircraft” was seen by ” by direct radar reflection rather than via an IFF transponder, Col. Chase explained.)
The objects 2800 mcs signal was similar to that of a typical ground radar? McClure said this was what baffled him the most. Tits possible the objects propulsion system or its radar must cause the 2800 mcs signal
All the radar signature characteristics, as read out on his ALA-5 pulse analyzer, were completely normal — it had a pulse repetition frequency and pulse width like a CPS-6B and even simulated a scan rate: But its intensity, McClure pointed out, was so strong that “it would have to had an antenna bigger than a bomber to put out that much signal.” And now, the implications of the events over Gulfport took on new meaning. The up scope-down scope sweep of his #2 monitor lobe implied that this source, presuming it to be the same one now also being seen on ground radar at Carswell GCI, had flown a circle around the RB-47 at 30-35,000 ft altitude while the aircraft was doing about 500 knots (575 mph)..
GCI Radar Painted UFO
‘Shortly after Carswell GCI began following the two targets, RB-47 and unknown, still another significant action unfolded. McClure suddenly noted the lobe on the #2 monitor was beginning to go up scope, and almost simultaneously, Chase told me, GCI called out that the second airborne target was starting to move forward. Keep in mind that no visual target was observable here; after blinking out at the 12 o’clock position, following its lightning-like traverse across the nose of the aircraft, no light had been visible. The unknown now proceeded to move steadily around to the 12 o’clock position, followed all the while on the #2 monitor and on the GCI scope down at Carswell near Ft. Worth.
Red Glow
As soon as the unknown reached the 12 o’clock position, Chase and McCoid suddenly saw a bright red glow “bigger than a house”, Chase said, and lying dead ahead, precisely the bearing shown on the passive radar direction-finder that McClure was on and precisely the bearing now indicated on the GCI scope. Three independent sensing systems were at this juncture giving seemingly consistent-indications: two pairs of human eyes, a ground radar, and a direction-finding radar receiver in the aircraft.
One of the important points not settled by the Colorado investigations concerned the question of whether the unknown was ever painted on any radar set on the RB-47 itself. Some of the men thought the navigator had seen it on his set, others were unsure. I eventually located Maj. Hanley at Vandenberg and he informed me that all through the incident, which he remembered very well, he tried, unsuccessfully to pick up the unknown on his navigational radar (K-system).
The important question was what sort of effective range that set had. Hanley gave the pertinent information that it could just pick up a large tanker of the KC-97 type at about 4 miles range, when used in the “altitude-hold” mode, with antenna tipped up to maximum elevation.
But both at the start of its involvement and during the object’s swing into the 12 o’clock position, GCI showed it remaining close to 10 miles in range from the RB-47. The unknown gave a GCI return that suggested a cross-section comparable to an ordinary aircraft, Chase told me, which is consistent with Hanley’s non-detection of the object. The pilot Chase then went to maximum allowable power, hoping to close with the unknown, but it just stayed ahead at about 10 miles as GCI kept telling them; it stayed as a bright red light dead ahead, and it kept painting as a bright lobe on the top of McClure’s ALA-6 scope.
UFO Painted at top of scope
By this time they were well into Texas still at about 35,000 ft and doing upwards of 500 knots (575 mph), when Chase saw it begin to veer to the right and head between Dallas and Ft. Worth. Getting FAA clearance to alter his own flight plan and to make sure other jet traffic was out of his way, he followed its turn, and then realized he was beginning to close on it for the first time. Almost immediately GCI told him the unknown had stopped moving on the ground-radarscope. Chase and McCoid watched as they came almost up to it. Chase’s recollections on this segment of the events were distinctly clearer than McCoid’s. McCoid was sitting aft of Chase and had the poorer view; also he said he was doing fuel-reserve calculations due to the excess fuel-use, while Chase in the forward seat was able to keep it in sight nearly continuously. Chase told me that he’d estimate that it was just ahead of the RB-47 and definitely below them when it instantaneously blinked out; when McClure announced on the interphone that he’d lost the 2800 mcs signal, and GCI said it had disappeared from their scope. Such simultaneous loss of signal on what we can term three separate channels is most provocative, most puzzling.
Putting the aircraft into a left turn (which Chase noted consumes about 15-20 miles at top speed), they kept looking back to try to see the light again. And, about halfway through the turn (by then the aircraft had reached the vicinity of Mineral Wells, Texas, Chase said), the men in the cockpit suddenly saw the bright red light flash on again, back along their previous flight path but distinctly lower.
Red Light Reappears
Simultaneously GCI got a target again and McClure started picking up a 2800 mcs signal at that bearing: (As I heard one after another of these men describe all this, I kept trying to imagine how it was possible that Condon could listen, at the October, 1967, plasma conference at the UFO Project, as Col. Chase recounted all this and shrug his shoulders and walk out.)
Securing permission from Carswell Air Force Base GCI to undertake the decidedly non-standard maneuver of diving on the unknown over Texas, Chase put the RB-47 nose down and had reached about 20,000 feet, he recalls, when all of a sudden the light blinked out, GCI lost it on their scope, and McClure reported loss of signal on the #2 monitor: Three-channel consistency once more.
Low on fuel, Chase climbed back up to 25,000 and headed north for Oklahoma. He barely had it on homeward course when McClure got a blip dead astern and Carswell radioed that they had a target once more trailing the RB-47 at about 10 miles. Rear visibility from the top blisters of the RB-47 now precluded easy visual check, particularly if the unknown was then at lower altitude (Chase estimated that it might have been near 15,000 feet when he lost it in the dive). It followed them to southern Oklahoma and then disappeared.
Discussion:
This incident is an especially good example of a UFO case in which observer credibility and reliability is not a serious question, a case in which more than three channels of information figures in the over-all observations, and a case in which the reported phenomena appear to defy explanation in terms of either natural or technological phenomena.
In, the important initial incident, in which the unknown 2800 MC source appeared to orbit the RB-47 near Gulfport is omitted.
RB-47 Landing
Actually, various hypotheses (radar anomalies, mirage effects) are weighed. Carswell GCI also picked up returns from the UFO. The pilot Chase’s account emphasized that the GCI radar(s) had his aircraft and the unknown object on-scope for a flight-distance for several hundred miles. With such wide variations in angles the possibility of anomalous propagation effects is infinitesimal. The simultaneous appearances and disappearances on the ECM gear and visually is significant.
The pilot’s description of the luminous source involves a wide range of viewing angles, including two instances when he was viewing it at quite large depression angles, is wholly unreasonable.
SpaceX/ NASA Spacecraft will Crash into an Asteroid
NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is put in the nosecone of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket .
Michael Sheetz wrote, Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched a first-of-its-kind planetary defense mission for NASA Wednesday morning. “The mission is known as the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (or DART). NASA is trying to learn how to deflect a threat if it were headed toward Earth.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is sending the spacecraft on its way to intentionally crash into an asteroid in September of 2022.
The space agency is trying to learn “how to deflect a threat that would come” toward Earth, NASA associate administrator of the science mission directorate Thomas Zurbuchen said.
“Rest assured, that rock right now is not a threat,” he said.
SpaceX is launching DART on a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
DART is a 610-kilogram spacecraft that will spend 10 months traveling to a pair of asteroids, which are named Didymos and Dimorphos. Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland built DART.
The goal of the mission is to hit the Dimorphos asteroid, with the spacecraft at about 15,000 mph and see how the impact changes the asteroid’s trajectory.

The DART mission is costing NASA about $330 million in total, with SpaceX having won a $69 million contract in 2019 for the launch. Not only is it NASA’s first planetary defense mission.
Kyle Rittenhouse tells Tucker Carlson case had ‘nothing to do with race’
Tucker Carlson interviews Kyle Rittenhouse
Rittenhouse told Carlson in exclusive interview, ‘I’m not a racist person. I support the BLM movement. I support peacefully demonstrating’
Rittenhouse this case was always aboutself defense
Kyle Rittenhouse spoke out following his acquittal on ‘Tucker Carlson on Monday night. Kyle Rittenhouse, when a Wisconsin jury found him not guilty on all five charges last week to conclude a high-profile murder trial that polarized the nation, sat down with Tucker Carlson for his exclusive interview following his acquittal.Rittenhouse told the “Tucker Carlson Tonight”that the case had “nothing to do with race,It had to do with the right to self-defense,”“ during his Monday interview. The news media claimed he came across state lines with a gun that night. He was in fact working as a lifeguard in Kenosha and staying overnight there at a friend’s house. Before that, he was a student at Arizona State in the nursing program. He was protecting an acquaintance second auto business after the first one was set on fire by arsonists. The Kenosha Business Alliance said more than 100 businesses were damaged during the unrest, and at least 40 businesses were destroyed and most were owned by black owners.
Auto Dealer fire se by arsonists
Kyle stated, “I’m not a racist person. I support the BLM movement. I support peacefully demonstrating. I believe there needs to be change,” Rittenhouse continued. “I believe there’s a lot of prosecutorial misconduct, not just in my case but in other cases. The videos taken proved his innocence so the prosecutors adjusted the videos to be difficult to see exactly what happened. It’s just amazing to see how much a prosecutor can take advantage of someone.”
Multiple fires until Arsonists shot
Rittenhouse, an Illinois resident, was accused of murdering two people and wounding another amid riots that took place in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake.
The defense in the trial successfully argued that Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense. Rittenhouse told what he felt after he was attacked at gunpoint.
Rittenhouse will also be appearing in a “Tucker Carlson Originals” documentary on Fox Nation set to premiere in December. The documentary will include additional portions of the interview as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes access to Rittenhouse and his defense team.
Kyle has hired lawyers to sue the media that lied about his case daily. It’s unfortunate the news media will lie repeatedly about a 17 year old trying to protect an auto business after their first one was destroyed by arson. The burning and looting going on in Kenosha by rioters is seldom mentioned.
Tucker Carlson.
After he was acquitted on all charges in the Kenosha August 25, 2020,shootings, Kyle Rittenhouse took his story to Fox News, because other news media lied repeatedly about him.
Rittenhouse, who took the stand during the trial, maintained throughout he acted in self-defense, a claim the jury agreed with him based on numerous videos, when he shot three men during violent protests that stemmed from a Kenosha police officer shooting Jacob Blake and rioters burning and looting much of the businesses in town. Rittenhouse, 17 at the time of the rioting, faced five charges, including first-degree reckless homicide for killing Joseph Rosenbaum, 36; Rosenbaum told Rittenhouse several times he was going kill him for protecting the business eventually he threw a plastic bag at Rittenhouse, who responded by killing him. Rosenbaum’s mental health issues, and was taking anti-depressants and illegal drugs to treat his bipolar disorder. He had been in a hospital following a suicide attempt. Rosenbaum’s girlfriend Swart had pressed charges against Rosenbaum in July 2020. for assaulting her. Rosenbaum spent most of his adult life in prison starting at age 18 for sexual conduct with five young boys.
Kyle was charged with first-degree intentional homicide for killing Anthony Huber, 26; who had struck Rittenhouse repeatedly on the head with a skate board.
Huber eventually caught up to Rittenhouse and tried to stop him by hitting him over the head with his skate board. Huber had spent time in prison twice, first for violating probation after strangling his brother and again for kicking his sister, the Post reported.
Kyle was charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the shooting of Gaige Grosskreutz, 28, who was chasing Rittenhouse Prosecutors have said that the group believed that Rittenhouse was an active shooter against arsonists, which stopped much of their arson.;
Gaige Grosskreutz sot in Arm
Grosskreutz was armed with a pistol that night. He’d been to dozens of protests over the summer. Grosskreutz said he was shot in his arm when he pointed his pistol at Rittenhouse. Grosskreutz got involved in multiple protests that summer after, joining forces with an activist group called the People’s Revolution that is similar to Black Lives Matter.
Grosskreutz has filed a lawsuit alleging that law enforcement were aware of, and collaborated with Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz in the arm
Rittenhouse spent 78 days in jail without water for a showers and his skin peeled off. He was attacked in the news daily with false stories. Even Biden called him a white supremist names during the trail.Kyle Rittenhouse knows governmental agencies, like the FBI and police failed to stop the tremendous national looting and arson costing two billion dollars’ worth of buildings with few ever arrested. Then Kamala Harris provided bail to the arsonists, and said the officer who shot Jacob Blake ‘should be charged.Kyle was repeatedly attacked and told they were going to kill him when the situation began and he just protected himself when attacked.
On the day following the shooting August 26, thhe protests were peaceful with no further arson . Apparently the threat of being shot stopped people from starting fires and looting.
The evening news is the enemy of the people in their constant lies and liberal propaganda about key facts in the case.. Why did the news media have to lie about almost everything in the Kyle Rittenhouse case?

Biden shut down oil and gas lease sales from the nation’s vast public lands and waters cut out new franking in his first days in office causing oil and gas prices to double and high national inflation. Under Trump U.S. exported about 8.5 million barrels per day of petroleum in 2020 and we are now begging the Middle East to send more oil, and taking oil from the strategic reserve. Biden’s approval rating has dropped to 38%.

Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at air fields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.
Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.
Brea– on November 17, 2021, noticed a very large triangle shaped object much larger than plane in picture. Took some pictures, here is original and enlarged picture of what I saw.
Colorado Light
Aurora– on November 1, 2021,’ I decided to sit down and just enjoy the beautiful morning while looking west over the reservoir and noticed a very large object in the distance. It flew south slowly against the wind. I took pictures and the object disappeared.
Connecticut Lights
Bridgeport— on November 7, 2021, at around 8:45 PM, I was over my uncle’s house with my family when my girlfriend pointed out an object. I saw two glowing lights that were moving to the right or east. The two lights are flying in unison so I recorded for 35 seconds.
Florida Object
Vero Beach – on November 7, 2021, the first Slow-walker and fast-walker UFO I saw at dusk and at night. There were planes flying and I noticed a bright white light flying too low! Then a stove pipe UFO accelerated and flew down. Inside looked like a lava lamp of reddish orange.
Georgia objects
Stone Mountain – on November 20, 2021, at 4:30 PM I heard odd noise, while walking and looked up, and saw 4 disc’s, , flying at about 6,000 feet, directly over my head. I saw it was metallic that flew out of sight in 6 seconds at 3,000 mph.
Louisiana Lights
Alexandria– on November 1, 2021, standing in my back yard, my little nephew asks, “What t in the world is that?” I saw 2 round, dark metallic UFOs hovering side by side. Using my iPhone 12 Pro Max, I recorded 3 videos. They were close together before heading west towards Fort Polk. A passenger jet flew right underneath the two UFOs. I’ve seen UFOs several times. I served 6 years in the Army and 18 months in combat in Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq that were black balls hovering in the sky.
Minnesota Object
Stillwater – on September 11, 2020, my nine year old son took a photo of a boomerang shaped craft outside our living room window at 1:25pm.
Missouri Object’
Springfield – on September 8, 2021, not sure what I was seeing
New Jersey Lights
Patterson on October 28, 2021, I have had a Close Encounter of the 4th Kind. I have evidence of this matter.
Note:The witness provided several video clips that are similar. They show a blue light rotating in the sky at a regular rhythm.. It appears that the light could be the reflection of a rotating ground light reflecting off of the clouds. Skies were cloudy and cloud bases were at 3,300 feet. The witness sent a photo showing a “Close Encounter of the 4th Kind” tattoo on himself. He also referred to a book Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind by C.D.B. Bryan. The term was coined by Dr. J Allen Hynek who was a scientific consultant with Project Blue Book. It refers to encounters with UFO craft and presumably alien beings. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
Ohio Object
Dayton– on August 10, 2021, look like a black ice cream made out of melted black marbles. I was super close to us. No lights or sound. Flying in a straight line right across to flight path of landing aircraft landing at Dayton airport.
Pennsylvania Lights
Gibsonia– on August 5, 2021, three family members were sitting outside from sundown till 11 pm. We heard 3-4 loud sounds like something was hitting on a tree. This sound was immediately followed by a bright blue flash of light that illuminated the side yard. My photo was taken over top of the house.
South Carolina Lights
Hollywood – on November 1, 2021, was driving home from work last night and saw a very bright light, so bright it lit up the sky. I pulled my car over. The lights were moving fast in my direction. I could see two, massive, low flying objects. There was just a quiet hum as they flew toward the Atlantic Ocean.
Tennessee Light
Knoxville– on November 1, 2021, at 6:23 PM when I looked up at the sky and saw an LED light bar headed straight toward me, like it was headed to land. I was huge, size of a jet, it stopped and stared at me. It had a tail, that burned through the cloud cover. It had a dome on top and disappeared.
Utah Light
Murray– on November 22, 2021, at 1830 hours, from my yard, I observed a white star like light to the north. I got my 1080P video camera, and zoomed in to see it 11 miles north of me. The light changed from a circle to a diamond shape. I noted a black round shape circling inside the light that flew south.
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Egypt Object
Cairo– on November 19, 2021, picture taken of Sphinx with UFO in background.
France Object
Grande Synthe – on November 5, 2021, at 8:00 am I observed a white yellowish hovering light. The light remained at least 15 minutes without moving and the clouds covered it.
UK/England Object
London – on November 16, 2021, on Ryanair flight FR 3812 from ACE to LPL at 1pm, my10 year old son witnessed an object and took a photo. We showed it to flight crew who did not recognize it.

China's lunar rover has spotted a mysterious object on the far side of the moon, and is now on its way to investigate it further.
A website affiliated with the country's space agency referred to the cube-shaped item as a 'mystery hut', although experts believe it is likely a large boulder that has been excavated by a meteorite.
The Yutu 2 rover, which almost three years ago arrived with the first spacecraft to ever land on the dark side of the moon, took pictures of the object on the horizon while working its way across the Von Kármán crater.
This side of our lunar satellite is never visible from Earth and, prior to the Chang'e-4 mission, no space probe had ever reached that part of the surface because of communication difficulties.

UPCOMING CHANG'E MISSIONS
Chang'e-6 will be the first mission to explore the Moon's south pole. It's expected to launch in 2023 or 2024.
Chang'e-7 will study the land surface, composition, space environment in an overall mission, according to the Chinese space authority, while Chang'e-8 will focus on technical surface analysis.
China is also reportedly working on building a lunar base using 3D printing technology and sending a future crewed mission to the surface.
Chang'e-8 will likely lay the groundwork for this as it strives to verify technology for the project.
The solar-powered Yutu 2 has been traversing the 115-mile-wide (186km) Von Kármán crater ever since it landed on the moon attached to the Chang'e-4 spacecraft on January 3, 2019.
Last month it snapped pictures of a mysterious object 260 ft (80m) away to the north, just on the horizon, according to Our Space, a Chinese language science outreach channel affiliated with the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
It referred to the object as a 'mystery hut' (神秘小屋/shenmi xiaowu), although this is a placeholder name rather than an accurate description of what it is thought to be.
Nevertheless, Chinese scientists are intrigued about the object and Yutu 2 is now set to spend the next 2-3 lunar days – the equivalent of 2-3 Earth months – travelling over to it to get a closer look.
Chang'e 4 was China's fourth mission to the moon and the second to send a rover.
The Chang'e 1 and 2 missions were orbiters, while Chang'e 3 landed on the near side of the moon with the first Yutu rover.
Beijing also launched Chang'e-5 in November last year with the aim of returning the first moon samples to Earth in more than 40 years.

The Yutu 2 rover (pictured), which almost three years ago arrived with the first spacecraft to land on the dark side of the moon, saw the object while travelling across the Von Kármán crater
Yutu 2 is now coming up to three years on the moon, having made its 'mystery hut' discovery on its 36th lunar day.
The moon rover spotted the sharp structure sticking out from the ground after awakening from a 14-day slumber during the dangerously cold lunar night.
Scientists believe the unusual rock may have formed after numerous impacts blew rock off the surface until the pointy formation was left.
The far side of the moon, colloquially known as the dark side, actually gets as much light as the near side but always faces away from Earth.
This is because the moon is tidally locked to Earth, rotating at the same rate that it orbits our planet, so the far side – or the 'dark side' – is never visible from our planet.
China has even more ambitious plans for its moon exploration programme.
In 2023 or 2024 it is expected to launch Chang'e-6, the first mission to explore the moon's south pole, while Chang'e-7 will study the land surface, composition and space environment in an overall mission, according to the Chinese space authority.
China is also reportedly working on building a lunar base using 3D printing technology and sending a future crewed mission to the surface.
Chang'e-8 will likely lay the groundwork for this as it strives to verify technology for the project.
The CNSA is also building an Earth-orbiting space station where Chinese astronauts conduct scientific experiments, similar to the International Space Station.
The agency launched a mission to Mars in the summer of 2020 and landed a rover on the Red Planet in May 2021.
CHINA STEPS UP PLANS TO BECOME SPACE SUPERPOWER WITH MARS AND MOON MISSIONS
Officials from the Chinese space agency are working to become a space superpower alongside the US and Russia.
They have already sent the first lander to explore the far side of the moon - sharing photos from the part of our nearest neighbour we rarely see as part of the Chang'e-4 mission.
In November 2020 they sent the Chang'e-5 space probe to the moon to collect and return the first samples of lunar soil in 45 years.
This was done in collaboration with the European Space Agency who provided tracking information for the Chinese spaceship.
Chang'e-6 will be the first mission to explore the south pole of the moon and is expected to launch in 2023 or 2024.
Chang'e-7 will study the land surface, composition, space environment in an overall mission, according to the Chinese space authority, while Chang'e-8 will focus on technical surface analysis.
China is also reportedly working on building a lunar base using 3D printing technology and sending a future crewed mission to the surface.
Mission number eight will likely lay the groundwork for this as it strives to verify the technology earmarked for the project.
The CNSA is also building an Earth-orbiting space station where Chinese astronauts will conduct scientific experiments, similar to the crew of the International Space Station.
The agency also launched a mission to Mars in the summer of 2020 and landed a rover on the Red Planet in May 2021.
China is also said to be working on a project to build a solar power generator in space, that would beam energy back to Earth and becoming the largest man made object in orbit.
They also have a number of ambitious space science projects including satellites to hunt for signs of gravitational waves and Earth observation spacecrafts to monitor climate change.
A tall square structure was seen in the distance of a recent China moon lander photo. The object has two main sections which meet and does appear to be a building of at least 20 meters or more. However, if past NASA missions have taught me anything, its that you can't rely on them to go over and check it out. Because if it is an alien structure, they will say they went a different direction and didn't ever look at it. If its not an alien structure, then the China gov will show a close up of the square object in about 1 week.
But what if China does find an ancient structure on the moon and actually reports it? It would be the greatest discovery announcement in humanities history. Do you really want China to take credit for that? They just may, the future is impossible to predict.

Date of sighting:December 4, 2021 Location of sighting: New Jersey, USA Source: MUFON
This triangle UFO was recorded this week during sunset on the 4th of December. The video is taken from the passenger seat of a car so it is a bit difficult to see the UFO most the time, so I took the best 2 seconds and slowed it down 6X to allow you to see it. The object is thin and tall, like a wing, but triangle shaped. I have said many times that if you want to see a UFO, then watch a dozen sunsets and you will see one. When the setting sun is at a 90 degree angle to the clouds, it causes any cloaked or hidden UFOs to appear for 30 seconds to several minutes. Often UFOs also use a telepathic signal they send out...making human minds forget what they have seen soon afterward, till much later. I just wanted to say that last part, most UFO researchers do not know that, but there are an abundance of UFO reports that state that fact happening.

Eyewitness states:
I saw this object over the Newark airport. I though it’s was just the clouds but after like 1 min looking at it l realized it’s was something else. I started recording with my phone iPhone 12 Pro mas and finally l saw it it was a pyramid and l saw a small flash light. you Can't see it the video but if you play it in slow motion you might see it.

Mother whose son, 14 months, has rare uncombable hair syndrome that makes his blonde mop stand on end reveals his water-resistant locks are EASY to take care off and only need washing once a week
Mother whose son, 14 months, has rare uncombable hair syndrome that makes his blonde mop stand on end reveals his water-resistant locks are EASY to take care off and only need washing once a week
Locklan, 14-months old, from Atlanta, Georgia has uncombable hair syndrome
His mother, Katelyn Samples, 33, says it brings her joy, but hasn't been easy
The condition is extremely rare with just 100 cases worldwide
Katelyn wants him to be proud but says strangers can make cruel comments
A mother has revealed how her baby is one of around just 100 people in the world diagnosed with the ultra 'rare uncombable hair syndrome' - but she is teaching him how to be proud of his unruly locks.
Katelyn Samples, 33, from Atlanta, Georgia is mother to Shepard, two, and 14-month-old Locklan.
When Locklan was around five months old and his hair started to grow, Katelyn and husband Caleb, 33, noticed it was quite fuzzy and thought it was going to be curly.
'It was coming in straight up and so soft and fuzzy,' Katelyn recalled.
Scroll down for video
Locklan's fuzzy hair that his parents thought would eventually lead to curly locks, but instead they found out he has ‘uncombable hair syndrome’
The genetic condition is a very rare one with only just 100 people in the world diagnosed
'As it continued to grow it never laid down... a lot of people who see him call him a baby chick.'
Then during the summer, a stranger messaged Katelyn to ask if he had something called uncombable hair syndrome.
Katelyn had never heard of the rare condition, which causes a rare structural anomaly of the hair meaning it can't be brushed or flattened down, no matter how hard you try.
The condition is extremely rare with around just 100 cases worldwide, and some believe Albert Einstein's famous 'mad scientist' look was because he had UHS.
The Samples family: Locklan, centre bottom with his older brother, Shepard behind him, with their parents
Katelyn said: 'Because UHS is so rare our paediatrician referred us to a pediatric dermatologist/specialist at Emory in Atlanta, Georgia.
'They took samples of his hair and called us a few weeks later and confirmed it was in fact, Uncombable Hair Syndrome!
Uncombable Hair Syndrome: The condition that was made famous by Albert Einstein
Uncombable hair syndrome is a rare inherited disorder that causes locks to stand up from the roots and not be flattened.
Such hair is usually silvery-blond or straw colored.
The hair usually appears between three and 12 months of age.
In rare cases, the syndrome has occurred alongside bone and eye abnormalities.
The syndrome usually resolves or improves at the onset of puberty.
It may be more manageable through applying conditioners and using soft brushes.
Source: Genetic and rare diseases information center
'His doctor had only seen one other case in the past 19 years. We have zero clue why he has it.'
Although UHS usually only affects the hair, Katelyn was still concerned about the diagnosis.
She said: 'Hearing your son has a genetic condition isn't easy, especially because it's so rare there isn't a lot of information on it. But as I learned as much as I could and connected with other parents around the world (in a UHS FB group), I became less scared and more appreciative of how unique Locklan is.
'Other than wild and crazy cool hair, he is perfectly healthy and very happy He does have severe eczema, which may be linked to UHS.'
At the minute, because Locklan is still young and his hair is short, his hair routine is pretty simple, and his parents have found that the unique texture actually means it's easier to keep it clean.
Katelyn said: 'His hair doesn't need to be washed much... maybe once a week.
'It's water-resistant so it takes a minute to saturate with water and gentle shampoo.'
His distinctive mane does attract attention when they are out and about - but usually, he doesn't mind.
Katelyn said: 'Lock is already a little celebrity. People come up to us everywhere we go.
'They ask about his hair, and sometimes even ask to touch it! At a fall festival in a local town people even asked to take pictures with him. He enjoys the attention.
'We really can't go anywhere without at least one person making a comment on his hair. It is almost always from a good place!
'However the mean/rude/sarcastic comments happen too and it breaks my heart.'
His mother has revealed that the 14-month-old's hair has been getting a lot of attention, from kind comments in real life to mean ones online. She's heard people say his hair looks like he stuck his finger in an electrical socket
Strangers have compared Locklan's locks to of a cat when it's scared, but his mother insists that it's nobody's business because they're not the ones dealing with it
His parents are adamant that they want their son to grow up celebrating his unique locks rather than shying away from it
Some of the comments Katelyn says they've heard include people calling it 'crazy' or saying he 'looks like he stuck his finger in a socket'.
Other people say things like "Wow his hair makes me happy", "He looks like my cat when its scared", and "That baby wakes up every day with a bad hair day".'
Katelyn added: 'For now myself and my husband are the only ones to have to deal with it but as Lock gets older he will too.
'Lock's hair is truly a source of joy and we celebrate it. I want him to grow up to be proud of his differences and what makes him unique.. everyone should!'
After getting his diagnosis, Katelyn and Caleb started his Instagram account @uncombable_locks in October to share pictures of their son and raise awareness.

Locklan's parents want to use the Instagram account they started for their son to raise awareness for the rare genetic disease and also spark some happiness across the internet
Katelyn said: 'We set up his IG account because people truly are so intrigued by his hair and love it so much we wanted to raise awareness of such a rare genetic disease.
'My husband is very creative and came up with his IG name and set up the account!'
'Between his hair and his smile we wanted to spark some joy on the internet.'
A princess that died about 2,500 years ago lived a very mysterious life. Known as the Ukok Princess, her remains were found in Siberia back in 1993 and detailed analysis of her burial as well as her skeleton revealed some very interesting and mysterious facts.
An MRI scan conducted in 2010 revealed that she died in her mid-twenties from breast cancer. It’s unclear what her ethnicity was which has been debated for years as explained by one scientist, “The people of Pazyryk belonged to different ethnic group, in no way related to Altaians. Genetic studies showed that the Pazyryks were a part of Samoyedic family, with elements of Iranian-Caucasian substratum.”
It is believed that she was of important social status based on her complex tattoos that included mythical creatures. “Compared to tattoos found by archaeologists around the world, those on the mummies of the Pazyryk people are the most complicated, and the most beautiful,” stated Dr. Natalia Polosmak who was the scientist who found the mummy. “Tattoos were used as a mean of personal identification — like a passport now, if you like. The Pazyryks also believed the tattoos would be helpful in another life, making it easy for the people of the same family and culture to find each other after death.”
Next to her body was some marijuana which she may have taken as a form of relief from her breast cancer. Jewelry and Chinese silk were also found with the remains which is even more evident that she was of important status. “Chinese silk before was only found in ‘royal’ burials of the Pazyryk people — it was more expensive than gold, and was a sign of a true wealth,” one researcher noted. Additionally, six horses with colored felt saddles and detailed harnesses were buried with her.
Since she was buried alone, she may have been a shaman as stated by archaeologist Vyacheslav Molodin, “It was quite unusual to have a single Pazyryk burial. Usually men from this culture were buried with women. In this case, her separate burial might signify her celibacy, which was typical for cult servants or shamans, and meant her independence and exceptionality.”
She may have used marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Another interesting feature was that she had a shaved head and wore a wig. Archaeologist Natalya Polosmak described the wig in further detail, “The base of the wig was a felt “hat,” with two layers of women’s hair sewn into it. Between the layers was a black flexible substance, which helped to fix and hold the shape and the volume of the wig….A mop of hair on top was tightly wrapped around with a woollen cord, which helped this mop to stand upright… On top of this mop was worn a red “nakosnik” (a braided decoration made from threads), and atop of this structure was a bronze pin with a deer, standing on a sphere. The deer was made from wood, and was covered in golden foil.”
When her body was moved, natural disasters occurred and the Altai people believed it was because her spirit wasn’t at rest.
She certainly lived an interesting life with some details remaining a mystery throughout the centuries. We do, however, have an idea of her facial features because a taxidermist created a model of what the Ukok Princess might have looked like when she was alive about 2,500 years ago (those pictures can be viewed here.)
A Taxidermist Constructed A Model Of What She May Have Looked Like Before Mummification
Throughout the history of the UFO phenomenon there have always been those cases of these mysterious objects leaving material evidence behind that has served to baffle and confuse, and one of these is something that has come to be known as “angel hair.” The phenomenon known as “angel hair” normally involves a fall of a sticky, fibrous substance reminiscent of wispy strands or threads of silk or cotton, or like fine hair, usually in conjunction with some sort of aerial anomaly. These strands, which can vary in length from a few inches to over a hundred feet, then fall to earth, and are reported as disintegrating upon any attempt to touch them or collect them, but will also evaporate on their own in short order. Perhaps some of the earlier known reports of the angel hair phenomenon reportedly occurred during a mass sighting of unidentified celestial phenomena over Nuremberg in 1571, and there was a fall of “flakes or rags about one inch broad and five or six inches long” on the towns of Bradly, Selborne, and Alresford in England in 1741, but it goes back even further than that, with incidents across history. UFO researcher Brian Boldman has found hundreds of cases of angel hair spread across the world and going back as far as 629 AD. However, while this has been a strange occurrence for some time, it wasn’t until the 1950s that angel hair would become connected to the UFO phenomenon, when a series of sightings of UFOs dropping the stuff would hit the headlines, after which it would become intrinsically linked to unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrials.
Perhaps the first sighting that would entrench angel hair into UFO lore happened in October of 1952, in Oloron, France. On this day, numerous witnesses had their early evening interrupted by what was described as “a narrow cylinder, apparently inclined at a 45-degree angle… slowly moving in a straight line toward the southwest,” as well as up to 30 spheres emitting bright red light. These objects were reportedly dropping a feathery, white substance like strands of hair, which fell to cover trees, houses, telephone poles, and the ground. Depending on the witness, this material would either slowly dissolve when touched, or turn into a gelatinous substance before vanishing without a trace. One witness claimed that the material was actually sticky enough to trap him, and after a brief struggle he would claim that it had risen back up into the air to float off. The same phenomenon would allegedly happen in the nearby town of Gaillac just ten days later.
Other strange cases of UFOs and angel hair would soon follow. On October 27, 1954, two witnesses named Gennaro Lucetti and Pietro Lastrucci reportedly saw from their balcony at St. Mark’s Square in Venice, Italy two “shining spindles” that were leaving a trail of a wispy white substance that floated off in the wind. Also in 1954 is the weird case of a soccer match that was stopped because of UFOs dropping angel hair in Florence, Italy. On October 27, 1954, the Stadio Artemi Franchi was packed with nearly 10,000 fans watching a game between the Fiorentina club and its local rival Pistoiese, when they stopped watching to stare at several egg-shaped objects slowly moving across the sky dropping a “silver glitter,” later described as threads of “glass fibers.”
Then on November 2, 1959, two disc-shaped objects appeared over the city of Évora, Portugal and began spewing angel hair. On this occasion some of the strands were allegedly actually successfully collected, and researchers from the University of Lisbon rather bizarrely described it as “a small organism featuring 10 ‘arms’ stretching from a central core.” It is unknown what became of these samples after that or what they actually were. With reports such as these and others like them, UFO researchers in the 1950s began routinely linking angel hair with UFOs, and this trend would continue on into later years. On August 9, 1998, a swarm of twenty UFOs described as “shiny silver spheres” were spotted flying over several rural farms near Quirindi, New South Wales, Australia. These mysterious objects were doing impressive aerial acrobatics and dropping cobweb-like filaments that covered the area beneath them, and a report on the incident in USA Today would read:
Residents of a small Australian community swear that they saw cobwebs fall from the sky after UFOs passed overhead. Dozens of residents of Quirindi called Australia’s National UFO Hotline after the incident. Mrs. E. Stansfield, 61 years old, said that she saw cobwebs falling from the sky. She saw twenty silver balls which passed overhead. When she went out to her daughter, she too was covered in fine strands of cobweb. When she tried to pick it up, it disintegrated in her hand. The family car had cobwebs all over it.

The strange show lasted around an hour and a half before the UFOs flew off and the angel hair dissolved away not long after. More recently, in 2003, Giorgio Batini, a journalist at the Florentine newspaper La Nazione, saw shining silver spheres flying through the sky from his office and these were seen by numerous colleagues as well, with them going to the roof to observe them fly over a nearby wooded area. He went to investigate and find that a patch of trees beneath where the spheres had been was covered in a white, fluffy material. He was able to collect a sample, very rare in these cases, and had it examined at the Institute of Chemical Analysis at the University of Florence. They would determine that the material contained the elements boron, silicon, calcium and magnesium, and that it was not radioactive, but were unable to examine it further as the analysis had destroyed the sample. What was this stuff? It was suggested that it might simply be spider webs, but the chemical analysis was totally different than what one would expect to find with webs, and so it remains a mystery.
There have been even more recent cases in which samples of the angel hair have been collected and analyzed as well. One is a case from Portugal in 2014, in which a sample was also allegedly procured, and in this case the material supposedly reacted and came alive under ultraviolet light. It is not known what became of these rather odd samples. In 2016, a metallic silver Barbell shaped object was sighted in Illinois, in the United States. The object was observed to fly out over a small lake, where it hovered and then began to rise while “exuding a white filament like material” that reportedly “stretched all the way to the ground.” The object was then joined by 12 other similar UFOs, which orbited the original object as it rose into the air, all of them shooting out the fibrous white material before shooting off out of sight. The two witnesses of the event were then able to collect some samples to send to UFO researcher Bill Schroeder, who would say of the incident and samples:
On November 4th, 2016 the Investigator was contacted by witness 1. He advised that he and witness 2 had observed a number of Barbell shaped objects in flight over his dwelling. The object first observed was silver metallic in color and 20 to 30 inches in length. When first observed the object was at rooftop level or about 35 feet over his head. The object was moving silently and laterally towards a small lake just south of the dwelling. At the time of the sighting witness 1 was in the company of witness 2. Witness 1 noted that there was no visible means of propulsion observed and no sound detected. As the object arrived to the center of the lake it stopped moving laterally and began to rise. As it started to rise it began exuding a white filament like material. The material was very fine and stretched all the way to the ground. After it had risen to several hundred feet is was joined by more than 12 other like objects that seemed to be circling it as it continued to rise. At this point in time the white material was spewing from the devices in such quantity it looked like rain. The objects rose together into a clear sky until they were no longer visible. The white material that had fallen remained visible in trees for about 24 hours before dissipating. When witness 1 contacted the Investigator, he was requested to get samples if possible. The witnesses were able to obtain some samples of the material.
The material was collected using a clean shish-kabob skewer. At the Investigators request the samples were placed in paper and plastic bags. The samples were sent to the Investigator via USPS Priority mail with tracking. The samples arrived intact on November 9th, 2016. Upon arrival the envelope was opened by the Investigator who was in the company of a second Investigator. The package and enclosed samples were photographed by the Primary Investigator. The samples were then placed in evidence bags and bottles by the Investigator. The bags and bottles were then sealed and initialed by the Investigator. The arrival, repackaging, and sealing of the evidence was recorded on video tape for later review. Witness 2 painted a picture that re-created the scene at the time of the sighting. A scan of the painting was forwarded to the Investigator. A partial jpeg image is included with this report. The evidence was placed in a safe at the Investigators residence. Part of the evidence was later sent to Robert Powell and Phyllis Budinger for examination and lab testing.
The angel hair was analyzed, but proved to be mostly biological in nature and similar to spider webs, although there were some anomalies, such as “small amounts of celluloidal material, i.e. plant derived substance, possibly inorganic nitrate and an unidentified rust/red material.” In the end, the analysis seems to be inconclusive, and although the sample seems to most resemble spider silk, the inconsistencies and the fact that the two witnesses were deemed to be very reliable by the investigator makes it all pretty weird.
One of the most common explanations for the angel hair phenomenon is that it is nothing more than spider webs. Some species of small spider will migrate or disperse from where they hatched from the cocoon by casting webs to the wind and drifting along, sometimes in great numbers for miles on end and at high altitude, and can leave an area covered with webs. However, this doesn’t seem to exactly explain why the material should vanish into thin air or disintegrate when touched. Another explanation is that it is atmospheric electricity causing floating dust particles to become polarized and form long filaments. Of course, considering the many cases of UFOs and angel hair being seen together, it has been theorized that it could be some sort of byproduct from an alien craft’s propulsion system or electromagnetic field surrounding it. To this day it has been debated and discussed, with no agreed upon answers. What is angel hair and why does it seem to appear in conjunction with UFOs? Is this merely a mundane phenomenon or is there something more to it? It remains to be seen.
Having read the heading above, you may very well be wondering what I’m talking about. Well, I’ll tell you: Porton Down, a highly secure facility in Wiltshire, England, and that is steeped in secrecy. And, there are several UFO connections to the place. With that said, here’s some background on the place. The BBC say: “Porton Down was set up in 1916. It was a center designed to test chemical and biological weapons. Nerve gases such as Sarin and CS gas were tested on volunteer servicemen. Servicemen were offered around £2 and three days leave as an incentive to take part in tests. Very few servicemen knew what they were volunteering for and some were even told it was research into the cure for the common cold. In 1953 it is alleged that serviceman Ronald Maddison died after taking part in a Sarin gas experiment. In 1962, one of Porton Down’s own scientists, Geoffrey Bacon died of the plague. Since the end of WWII, 20,000 people have taken part in experiments at Porton Down.” LSD was tested at Porton Down, too. On military personnel, no less. And as the Guardian newspaper stated in 2005: “Fifty years ago, Eric Gow had a baffling and unexplained experience. As a 19-year-old sailor, he remembers going to a clandestine military establishment, where he was given something to drink in a sherry glass and experienced vivid hallucinations. Other servicemen also remember tripping: one thought he was seeing tigers jumping out of a wall, while another recalls faces ‘with eyes running down their cheeks, Salvador Dalí-style.’ Mr. Gow and another serviceman had volunteered to take part in what they thought was research to find a cure for the common cold. Mr. Gow felt that the government had never explained what happened to him. But now he has received an official admission for the first time, confirmed last night, that the intelligence agency MI6 tested LSD on servicemen.”

Dead aliens on ice at Porton Down?
Now, onto the UFO angle. In January 1974, on the Berwyn Mountains in Wales, U.K., something strange happened. Some say it was the crash of a UFO. Others suggest a secret experiment involving the controlling of ball lightning and utilizing at as a weapon. What about that UFO angle and the Porton Down connection? Back in 1996, the late Tony Dodd (a police officer and UFO researcher) met with a man who used the name of James Prescott. “I cannot named my unit or barracks, as they are still operational,” Prescott told Dodd. Prescott did, though, admit that his base at the time was situated in the south-west of England, which – as the crow flies – may have placed his installation not too far from Porton Down. In a very baffling way – and although the incident on the Berwyn Mountains occurred on January 23, 1974 – Prescott and his colleagues were ordered to be on “stand-by at short notice” on January 18. That was five daysbefore the Berwyns were briefly highlighted in the nation’s newspapers. Prescott got right into the heart of the story: “We then received orders to proceed with speed towards North Wales. We were halted in Chester in readiness for a military exercise we believed was about to take place. On 20 January, the communication to us was ‘hot.’ At approximately 20:13 hours we received orders to proceed to Llangollen in North Wales and to wait at that point.”
According to Prescott there was a huge amount of “”ground and aircraft activity” over and around those huge mountains – three days before the ground shook those little old villages at the foot of the mountains. Prescott said that on that same night he and his colleagues were given further orders: “We, that is myself and four others, were ordered to go to Llandderfel and were under strict orders not to stop for any civilians” claimed Prescott. On arriving at Llandderfel – a small, Welsh village – they could see soldiers racing around. Senior officers were barking orders here, there and everywhere. Aircraft were zooming across the star-filled sky. And all of this was against a background of overwhelming darkness. Prescott and his colleagues were ordered to haul a pair of large, wooden boxes onto the back of their truck, which they did in rapid-fire time. According to Prescott: “We set off with our cargo and during the journey we stopped to get a drink. We were immediately approached by a man in civilian clothes, who produced an I.D. card and ordered us to keep moving, and not to stop until we reached our destination.”

Matters got really weird, as Prescott explained to Dodd: “We were at this time warned not to open the boxes, but to proceed to Porton Down and deliver the boxes. Once inside, the boxes were opened by staff at the facility in our presence. We were shocked to see two creatures which had been placed inside decontamination suits. When the suits were fully opened it was obvious the creatures were clearly not of this world and, when examined, were found to be dead. What I saw in the boxes that day made me change my whole concept of life. The bodies were about five to six feet tall, humanoid in shape, but so thin they looked almost skeletal with a covering skin. Although I did not see a craft at the scene of the recovery, I was informed that a large craft had crashed and was recovered by other military units. Sometime later we joined up with the other elements of our unit, who informed us that they had also transported bodies of ‘alien beings’ to Porton Down, but said that their cargo was still alive.”
Moving on, but still on the same story, there was a man named Bob Bolton, who I met in the English city of Norwich. He told me of his recollections concerning the Porton Down/James Prescott affair: “I spent thirty years in the Royal Air Force as an aircraft engineer. I had various postings, including at Akrotiri in Cyprus, RAF Honnington, and at RAF Valley in North Wales from 1971 to 1974. My wife and her family came from Corwen. At the time that the thing on the Berwyns happened, they lived up on the side of the mountain and her mom still lives there to this day. Corwen is part of the Berwyn range. From where their house is, if you walk up the path that goes behind the houses up and onto the top of the mountains, you’re talking perhaps a mile and a quarter away from where it all occurred; so it’s not very far away at all.
“She still remembers what happened on the night of 23 January. She said to me when I spoke to her about it just recently: ‘I saw aircraft and heard aircraft shot down during the Blitz and it was like an aircraft coming down, but the sound was louder, bigger, heavier that anything you could imagine to do with an aircraft.’ They didn’t know what it was. They heard the noise first of all and ran out into the road. They weren’t the only ones: all their neighbors ran out as well. It got louder and louder and louder and they couldn’t see anything in the sky but then they felt the impact where the houses shook and she had things fall off the mantle-piece in the house. “It was my wife’s dad, who told me the story about bodies being found on the mountain. His name was Harold Smith. But everyone called him Mick. He had a full-time job with Vauxhall at Elsmere Port; he was a local councilor and was also a part-time Sub-Fire Officer at Corwen. One day we got talking and got on to the subject of UFOs and he said to me: ‘Oh, well, you obviously don’t know about the incident up on the Berwyn Mountains.’
“I first heard the story from him around 1976. At that time he only told me that bodies had been brought down from the mountain and didn’t say anything more. Nothing about who brought them down or where they were taken. But from 1979 to 1982 I was posted to Germany and Mick and my wife’s mother came out to stay for a month and it was here that he told us a lot more. I remember that the information that he told us had apparently come from another person in the North Wales Fire Service whose son was in the Army. But it’s not surprising that he would have been told: Mick was a well-respected man and knew people throughout the North Wales Fire Service including at Bala and Wrexham. Mick told me that while the police weren’t involved, the Army was – heavily. I can’t give you an exact date when they visited and he told us this, but it was definitely between 1979 and 1982. He said that there were definitely [trucks] from Porton Down at the scene; that there was a lozenge-shaped object on the mountainside; and that bodies were taken off the mountain and driven to Porton. And to this day, his wife can also confirm that Mick told her the story about Porton Down and bodies too – either in the late 1970s or the early 1980s. I do remember Mick saying that when he had first told me this story in 1976, he didn’t know that it was the Army who had taken the bodies off the mountain and he didn’t know at the time that they’d been taken to Porton Down. So he must have learned that between 1976 and when he came to see us in Germany.”
(Nick Redfern)
Now, onto the Porton Down connection to the famous Rendlesham Forest “UFO landing” incident of December 1980 and the late Georgina Bruni, who wrote a book on the Rendlesham case titled You Can’t Tell the People. I first met Georgina in 1997. At the time, Georgina was already working on her Rendlesham book, You Can’t Tell the People. It was published in November 2000. Back in the late 1990s, Georgina and I were two of a very small group of people in the U.K.-based UFO community who were actively and regularly investigating the UFO-Porton Down links. As a result of this, we agreed to quietly and carefully share our data – including any and all new data as it came along – with each other. And that’s how I came to become a recipient of Georgina’s information on the Rendlesham story. As the research for her book advanced, Georgina discovered that in late December 1980 a team from Porton Down was dispatched into the heart of Rendlesham Forest. Dressed in full-body protection (hazmat) outfits, they entered into the woods on a classified operation. It was assumed among those in the UFO research community who Georgina had confided in, that the Porton Down team was there to try and determine what happened over the course of those three nights and to see if there were any chemical or biological hazards still present. So far, the Rendlesham-Porton Down issue has not developed much further. But, maybe one day…

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinoisan, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Croatia, France, Germany, Mexico, Russia, South Africa,, and England and Scotland, in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFOs are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Russian Cosmonaut Claims UFOs Are Real
Cosmonaut Alexandr Balandin
Balandin stated that “flying saucers” have come into close proximity to the MIR space station as well as the Baikonur Cosmodrome.” He added there is sufficient evidence to warrant a scientific study of the phenomenon, and that it is time that world governments officially acknowledge the UFO phenomenon’s existence. “General Vladimir Ivanov, former commander of Russia’s Military Space Forces, recalls that three objects flew at a considerable altitude over Baikonur Cosmodrome and were picked up on radar. There is no way they could have been airplanes.” insisted the cosmonaut. Balandin disclosed at Brazil’s First International Ufology Forum, that he and fellow cosmonaut Musa Manarov had seen UFOs. During docking operations between his space capsule and the MIR, Balandin saw a glowing object a short distance away.
Drawing by Astronaut Balandin
Manarov managed to capture the strange phenomenon on videotape, which was shown during the UFO congress in Brazil. Balandin claimed that the recording and other evidence presented during the Congress, “must be studied by an international scientific commission.” Balandin insisted that the Russian military has a great contribution to make to UFO research, giving as an example the multiple-witness case at the Kapustin Yar missile base, whose personnel sighted a semi-circular object flying at low altitude lighting up the base’s facilities with a powerful searchlight in June 1989. “Many of my old comrades, who are now working at top-secret military facilities, acknowledge having seen UFOs. Thanks to Rubn Sobrino.
Editor’s Note: It is quite possible that some of the craft seen by the cosmonauts were US military spacecraft as well as extraterrestrials.
Flying Triangles and the Atlantic Ocean
Triangles
Triangle shaped UFOs are frequently reported above the Atlantic Ocean. Tony Todd a British police detective and Sergeant wrote the book, “ He states, “I have collected a substantial file of evidence to suggest that there are alien bases under the sea in the North Atlantic, and they are protected by a high-level international conspiracy.” From an alien point of view, it is a logical choice. To them it is good camouflage, and a mineral rich seabed which I believe is a major part of the attraction. In the winter of 1992, there were dozens of sightings in Scotland and Iceland.;
Disc Enter the Ocean
“On 20 December 1992, an Icelandic Naval source telephoned to say that three large UFOs had been tracked coming down and entering the sea off the east coast of Iceland, close to Largeness. Other witnesses confirmed seeing these UFOs; they were also tracked on radar. The following day, Icelandic fishermen reported seeing large underwater craft, with flashing-colored lights. They appeared to be tracked by a glowing object in the sky direction which was travelling south towards Scotland. The underwater craft caused a great deal of damage to the trawler nets of the fishing boats.
Iceland Gunboat
On 23 December, two gunboats from the Icelandic Navy and a coast guard vessel were sent on observation to Largeness. They were joined by a fleet of NATO ships that were officially on a naval exercise despite the fact it was Christmas. Newspaper stories reported the fleet was tracking large underwater craft, thought to a new Russian super submarine. On Christmas Eve, the crew of two British submarines were suddenly recalled from leave and sent to rendezvous with the fleet.”
“UFOs were tracked coming down into the sea in the same quadrant as the first three, and again the fast-moving underwater craft were seen. Shortly afterwards an American ship was reported missing. All the NATO ships joined in the search, during which one of the British submarines mysteriously lost power and struck the seabed. Fortunately, the power was restored and the submarine resumed action.” P. 215 -217. Note: Many varieties of fish live in the ocean waters surrounding Iceland, and the fishing industry is a main contributor to Iceland’s economy. Thanks to Tony Todd
Underwater UFOs/USOs Are Real
Underwater Extraterrestrials: Declassified Russian Navy Records Say they’re real!
Pacific Ocean at Mirelic Reef as strange Lights
Planes report malfunctioning equipment and reports of UFOs near the Mirelic Reef. The top of the photo is a sharp drop-off to the deep. A pinnacle rises three thousand feet from the bottom but does not quite break the surface.
The declassified documents contain Soviet era reports detailing many cases of possible USO encounters. Former naval officer and Russian UFO researcher Vladimir Azhazha believes these documents are of excellent value. Unidentified submerged objects (USOs) are not as famous as UFOs although they are often encountered, according to declassified Russian Navy records. The common trait of all USO phenomena is that they involve unexplained and technologically advanced objects, far superior to anything we’ve ever built. One of the most interesting cases he examined involved a nuclear submarine on a combat mission in the Southern Pacific. During the routine operation, the submarine detected six unknown objects traveling in formation at speeds in excess of 230 knots (265+ mph) faster than any human submarine.
Declassified Russian Files List Underwater UFO Encounters
A Russian UFO researcher is calling for an investigation after declassified files from the Soviet era detailed cases of terrifying incidents alien encounters, reports daily. Former naval officer and UFO researcher Vladimir Azhazha believes the documents that mention the Soviet K-222 nuclear submarines being hunted out of the sea by speeding unidentified objects in the Southern Pacific.

Triangle UFO Just above Ocean
During the routine operation, the submarine detected six unknown objects traveling in formation at high speeds. The objects were believed to be headed straight for the Soviet submarines, which were forced to surface. But the USOs followed them to the surface and then flew away.
Retired submarine commander Yuri Beketov recalled similar instances in the region of the Bermuda Triangle.
Mr. Beketov said on-board instruments often malfunctioned, indicating the presence of strong interference, which many believed was a clear sign of USO and UFO presence.
Mr. Beketov said: “On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, or 265 mph.
“Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development.”
The submarine’s sonar determined the objects were heading straight for it, so the captain gave the order to surface. The USOs followed them to the surface then flew away. Similar instances have been reported in the region of the Bermuda Triangle, as retired submarine commander Yuri Beketov recalls. On-board instruments often malfunctioned, indicating the presence of strong interference. Many believe this is a clear sign of USO/UFO presence. “On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed.

It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” said Beketov Vladimir.
Azhazha believes the issue should be thoroughly investigated. “I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So, it’s especially important to analyze what they encounter there.”
Both UFOs and USOs seem to concentrate wherever military operations occur, indicating their interest in humanity’s military arsenal.
Alien Base
There appears to be a chain of undersea bases in the Atlantic Ocean. FAA recorded 10,000 UFOs off the coast of Virginia in the last two years. There is also frequent underwater activity and USOs moving at high speed. Navy Divers out of Norfolk Naval base report high speed underwater craft moving near the coast and described the encounter between a group of Navy divers and several humanoid beings that frightened them.
Another USO hotspot is off the coast of Virginia and North Carolina where fishermen tell tales of lights being spotted in its deep waters. Multiple reports of UFO/USO entering and leaving the water. A NASA Scientist called me and stated, “NASA does not believe in ET, but I can visually see a craft just leaving the Atlantic Ocean and flying above it.” It is more advanced than anything I’ve seen launch from Cape Canaveral.
In Europe it was said that the Norwegian military found a saucer on a remote North Atlantic island of Spitsbergen. On May 23, 1955, newspaper columnist Dorothy Kilgallen wrote, “British scientists and airmen after examining the wreckage of one mysterious flying ship are convinced that these strange aerial objects are not optical illusions or Soviet inventions but are actual flying saucers which originate on another planet. She was killed mysteriously shortly afterward. Thanks to Anomalien.com

Underwater Bases
Jorge Martín writes, Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean Greater Antilles, is a land full of surprises that for many decades has been a hot spot of UFO /USO extraterrestrial activity. This activity has been connected, on many occasions, with the sea surrounding the island. Now, we have made a startling finding which may shed more light on this enigma.
Puerto Rico and Deepest Ocean Trench
Image from NOAA showing Puerto Rico and other islands of the Caribbean and the continental shelf of the region. The largest anomalous structures are observable beneath yythe islands of Puerto Rico and Vieques, and almost reaching to the island of St. Croix. We discovered mysterious anomalous structures which lie on the seafloor in the south and east of Puerto Rico, which extend from a point in the south of the city of Ponce to another point in the south of the island-municipality of Vieques, in the east.
We discovered them while studying the seabed around the island using NOAA images derived from that agency’s studies by means of satellite imaging. The structures are much too geometrical in shape, and that detail makes us think they are complex artificial structures, and not the product of casual natural geological formations.
The first anomalous structure consists of an extremely large rectangular structure which shows at its left end an entrance into the seafloor. The structure and its ‘entrance’ are geometrically shaped too, and again, they seem to be of an artificial origin.
But also, starting right out from the top left of that structure there is huge roads or tunnels which connect to the continental shelf in the south of the city of Ponce, in southern Puerto Rico.
‘Coincidentally’, back in the late 1980s many citizens of the city of Ponce heard drilling or boring underground with some powerful machines and sounds of large falling rocks.
Now, after discovering the submerged roads or tunnels that connect with the continental shelf in the south of the city of Ponce, I think on the possibility that the two things are related. Did the builders of the structures on the seabed south and southeast of Puerto Rico also built an underground access to the city of Ponce?
First there are the large structures and the road-like or tunnel-like structures that connects it with the continental shelf south of the city of Ponce. Secondly, there is a large quadrangular-shaped complex of structures formed by other five rectangular-shaped structures, and right in the middle, between the islands and the anomalies is a deep undersea canyon known to locals as the ‘South Depth’.
Visual enlargements of the anomalous structures.
Image A cropped section of the image submitted to the Photoshop digital filter shows more clearly the ‘entrance’ and the roads-like or tunnels-like structures. The Puerto Rico Trench is the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, with water depths exceeding 8,400 meters (27,559 Feet)
De Vida Silvestre Laguna Cartagena
This Cartagena Lake is known for UFOs entering and leaving on a regular basis in the Southwest corner of Puerto Rico. It is thought this lake is an entry to some of the Ocean bases or else also contains a base. The lake may also be used to obtain fresh water. The Lake is part of the National Refuge of De Vida Silvestre Lake Cartagena
The question is, who built them down there, and who may be using them?
The images show a vast undersea-underground baseset of large structures off the main island of Puerto Rico. Various structures are 105 miles length and forty miles wide a tremendous amount of territory! Another thing to consider is that the depth at which these structures are is one of thousands of feet underwater, and they are subjected to a very strong pressure in dark abyssal depths.
Depiction of Underwater base
It could be speculated that form the structures are part of a secret base of the United States Navy, although it would be difficult for humans to withstand the water pressure. Another possibility is that the vast complex of underground / underwater structures located in the south of Puerto Rico is extremely old and was built prior to modern humans living in this area. Some might argue this, but the huge dimensions of the structures, and the depth of several thousand feet at which they are made it difficult for it to be human beings who inhabit and work in them, as they could not build this type of huge complex structures at such depths, for this would require some sort of superior technology that we humans do not have at this moment. The depth of 15,928 feet is one in which it is difficult for humans to live and work at.
Its origin could be dated to a period during or before the last ice age, as huge ice sheets covered much of the Earth in those days, and the sea level worldwide was much lower than it is today. In fact, it is known that for some time the islands of the Greater Antilles were one single mass of land that was above the sea level of that past era. Perhaps an advanced prehistoric civilization could be responsible for the construction of these surprising structures.
But there is another possible explanation: what if the structures were not the product of human technology, nor the product of an antediluvian disappeared human civilization, but the product of a civilization of aliens who have lived in this area for a long time, hiding from humanity?
The use of highly advanced alien technology surely would allow advanced aliens to live and work in these dark depths, and under the conditions of high pressures experienced there. This possibility cannot be excluded, as there is voluminous photographic evidence and testimony and several hundred of witnesses (pilots, fishermen, and residents of coastal areas all around Puerto Rico, who testify about frequent sightings of UFOs or USOs submerging into the sea along the coastline or flying out from the water.
There is a significant evidence of this (which we published in our book ‘El Yanique: Gateway to Other Worlds’) which is shown in an official NASA document, a video filmed by the astronauts crew of the space shuttle mission STS-80, when they filmed a UFO that flew out from the sea at a point located south-east of the island- of Vieques, after which it soared out into space at a speed of 500 miles per second. After approaching the space shuttle, the UFO suddenly swerved to the left and quickly disappeared into deep space.
The specialist in digital imaging analysis, and consultant to NASA, Mark Carlotto, studied this video’s data, the specific day and time and azimuth position the STS-80 shuttle was at when taking the views, and undoubtedly confirmed that the UFO rose out to space precisely from a point at sea south of the island of Vieques, precisely at the point in which lies one of the structural anomalies we discovered, the large quadrangular-shaped structure.

Liberal Bill Maher says Democrats are ‘party of no common sense,’ will get ‘thumped’ in midterms’
Bill Maher
CNN host Chris Cuomo asked Maher if the country will be better or worse in eight months, to which Maher responded, “Well, they’re not going better for Biden and the Democrats.”
“I keep saying this to the Democratic Party. The reason you’re so toxic is because you’ve become the party of no common sense. And people see this on their newsfeeds,” Maher said. “They see things on their phone or on their Facebook page, people pass things around and it’s a constant drip, drip, drip “I keep saying this to the Democratic Party. The reason why you’re so toxic is because you’ve become the party of no common sense.” And people see this on their newsfeeds,” Maher said. “They see things on their phone or on their Facebook page, people pass things around and it’s a constant drip, drip, drip of ‘Oh, these people are nuts’ in a way — they’re not oblivious to the fact that Trump is nuts. When he ran, one of his big selling points was ‘You’ve got no choice.’ He was saying, ‘Yes, I know I’m nuts. You know I’m nuts. But they’re nuts in a quite different way that’s closer to home to you.’ “Real Time” host Bill Maher had a tense exchange about critical race theory in schools on Friday night’s show with guest Michael Eric
Dyson, a Vanderbilt University professor.
Bill Maher defended parents who are against Critical Race Theory and said that the progressive approach denies progress made on racial issues in America.
Maher also appeared on CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time Wednesday night and immediately was asked about Critical Race Theory.
“It’s not a phantom, either. There’s something going on in the schools that never went on before,” Maher told CNN’s Chris Cuomo. “Now I do understand this issue because I read accounts from parents, from educators. And this is all over the country.”
The HBO host especially took issue with involving children in the CRT discussion because they are “probably not old enough or sophisticated enough to understand this very complicated issue with a very complicated history.”
“Kids are taught, and sometimes separated into groups, oppressor and oppressed,” he said on CNN. “Again, does a kid even know what those words mean? Would they gravitate toward that if you hadn’t told them?”
Maher said a major problem is that liberals are afraid to acknowledge progress on social issues.
“You can acknowledge that we have made great progress on all the social issues and yet there is still more work to be done,” Maher told
“That kind of person is not going to care as much about that as something that is much closer to happens in my home,” Maher told Cuomo. “If my kid comes home from school and tells me, ‘they’re telling me I’m a racist. What does that word mean, Mommy?’ Is a kid, a young kid old enough to process that? Or, you know, comes home and says, ‘I think I’m a girl now’ and the school says that — I think in California now, you have to go by that. If a child wants to change his name to a girl’s name, that stuff is right in your home. That’s at your kitchen table. That is the kind of stuff that is going to get people who go, ‘Oh, you know, what he was doing — Trump and Ukraine, it was wrong as much as I read about it, but Ukraine is a long way away and this is my house and these are my children.”
Bill Maher calls out AOC for dismissing ‘wokeness’ critics, challenges her to appear on his show
Maher said he was among many liberals who “don’t like what’s going on with the left.” He added progressives: “When you’re doing something that sounds like a headline in The Onion, that’s when you’ve gone too far,” said Maher, referencing the satirical news website. “‘Land of Lincoln Cancels Lincoln.’ That really happened. They tore down Lincoln. Lincoln isn’t good enough for them.”
On September 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln
Issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing more than three million black slaves in the Confederate states as of January 1, 1863. There were an estimated 1.5 million casualties reported during the Civil War. The 620,000 mostly white men, who lost their lives in the line of duty to free the slaves are ignored by wokeness. Taken as a percentage of today’s population, the toll would have risen as high as 6 million souls
Even Republican President Abraham Lincoln the 16th president was assonated by well-known Confederate sympathizer and stage actor John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865, He was the first U.S. president to be assassinated, occurring at the end of the Civil War that was part of a larger conspiracy intended by Booth and sever others to revive the Confederate cause and to keep slaves owned almost exclusively by Democrats by eliminating the three most important officials of the United States.
The Confederacy capital, Richmond, VA. fell on April 9, 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered his Army to General Grant. Nevertheless, Booth continued to believe in the Confederate cause and sought a way to salvage it. There were an estimated 1.5 million Union casualties reported during the Civil War.
A “casualty” is a military person lost through death, wounds, injury, sickness, internment, capture, or missing in action
The country is in riots over the white police killing 14 blacks usually during an arrest. If black lives really matter, why no riots against the 8,000 blacks killed each year by blacks. Abortion has taken more Black American lives than every other cause of death combined since 1973. On average, 800 Black babies are aborted every day or about 292,000 per year in the United States. It seems the high abortion rate is not lost on young black men who slaughter each other. Some 295 policemen were killed in the last year, and over 100,000 who died from Fentanyl coming across our Southern Border that the fake nightly news never mentions.
My experience has a teacher and School Board Member is that many in the education field love Marxism much more than the United States. I have been to 62 countries and suggest they travel to Cuba and Venezuela and see the real suffering in Communist Countries. Then decide how lucky they are to be in the U.S. which unfortunately is rapidly deteriorating.
School Board
The charge that schools are indoctrinating students in a harmful theory or political mindset is a longstanding one, historians note. Critical Race Theory appears to be the latest salvo in this ongoing debate. “It’s because they’re nervous about broad social things, but they’re talking in the language of school and school curriculum,” said one historian of education. The curriculum is usually anti-religion, anti-morality, and anti- military, and anti-patriotic.
In the early and mid-20th century, the concern was about socialism or Marxism. The conservative American Legion, beginning in the 1930s, sought to rid schools of progressive-minded textbooks that encouraged students to consider economic inequality; two decades later the John Birch Society raised similar criticisms about school materials. As with CRT criticisms, the fear was that students would be somehow harmed by exposure to the Marxist propaganda.
As the school-aged population became more diverse, these debates have been inflected through the lens of race and ethnic representation, including disagreements over multiculturalism and ethnic studies.
Those tensions led to the implosion of a 1994 attempt to set national history standards. A current example that has fueled much of the recent round of CRT criticism is the New York Times’ 1619 Project, which sought to put the history and effects of enslavement stating the country began with the first slaves. To my knowledge it does not mention indentured white servants a form of limited slavery for three to seven years of settlers whose being servants paid for their passage to the Colonies
The culture wars are always, at some level, battled out within schools often pushing the viewpoints of Marxists, pedophiles and abortionists. Much of the curriculum fails to teach the ability to enter the work force and make a living. People are paying above 10,000 a year in property taxes to the schools where the children are taught to hate their parents and America. Many of the people I know are home schooling their children because of the poor environment in public schools where rape and poor morality is hidden from parents. Millions of parents were shocked when they saw online during the corona virus what their children were learning.
It appears the angry domestic terrorist parents voted for the Republicans around the nation in November.
Senator Ted Cruz blasted Attorney General Merrick Garland
for refusing to answer his questions during a Senate hearing. Garland was grilled about his daughter’s husband that is facing scrutiny after it was revealed the company supports Critical Race Theory curricula while servicing in the nation, over 13 million students in 21,000 schools, 1,500 districts, and 50 states costing tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars — while Garland has instructed the FBI to crack down on Terrorist Parents who oppose the ideology that hates all whites and pushes children towards becoming transgender.
ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, fake national news media has failed to reveal FBI whistleblowers with emails state the FBI has been instructed by DOJ Garland to investigate Terrorist Parents who disagree with what their children are being taught.
New whistleblower documents suggest Attorney General Merrick Garland committed perjury to lawmakers last month when he denied that the Department of Justice and the FBI are not using counter terror tools to target parents, as the National School Boards Association had requested.
The two chief White House Directors of Communications have resigned apparently because of the very low President (38%) Approval and Vice President (28%) Approval national ratings.
Strange Craft
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs
U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at airfields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.
Filer describes his UFO encounters in this incredible book, by John L. Guerra.

UFO Sightings in the United States
Sightings are from MUFON CMS
Arkansas Light
Ward – on November 14, 2021, we have been seeing this star like object for the last few months and just want to know what it is. It moves slowly maneuvers, before going behind the trees. You can see a dark ring around it on some of the video. Stars don’t move like this.
Arizona Object
Gilbert– on November 13, 2021, object had appendages coming out of center or simply changing shape almost like an arm moving around. Then appendage retracted and object turned into fuzzy edge triangular shape.
California Object
Pinto Mountains – in 1981 craft with a strange shape with rim high up on disc. Photo from Mehrdad.Goli
Connecticut Light
Storrs – on November 2, 2021, while driving home from University of Connecticut I noticed two triangle shaped objects in the sky. Upon coming closer one looked to be about the size of a tennis court. It was flying a bit higher than a 6-story building.
Florida Object
Key West– on November 4, 2021, I noticed an object hovering in the sky while driving down highway US-1 going to Key West.
Illinois Scratches
White Hall — on October 30, 2021, he was awakened at 4:06 AM 1 and saw 5 long fingers by his face. He saw three 5-foot-tall beings with large black eyes by his bed. He heard something hit the wall and then the beings were gone. He later found scratches on his neck and arm. He snapped a photo and said that the being can be seen in a photo blow up.
Lansing– on November 11, 2021, on Veteran’s Day the Leavenworth community was conducting their annual Veterans Day Parade. While observing the Air Force jets flyby, I recorded 6 seconds and saw several flashes of orbs that were maneuvering at incredible speed. Thee orbs assembled in formations of three by three as the jets passed.
Louisiana Object
Lafayette– on November 14, 2021, I was taking images of the Orion Nebula using a Mallincam 26ctec camera attached to my C-14-inch Edge HD telescope at 1.8 focal ratio. At 2:58 am, I observed several UAPs moving across the Orion Nebula as a bright area showed up in my field of view followed by additional UAP’s in succession.
Maine Object
Hancock – on November 14, 2021, driving home at 4:48 pm. I saw a disc close to our house above the treetops. On the left here was a blue flashing light, a white one in the middle and a red flashing one the right. It was a stationary black flying saucer, with a flat circular base with a large dome on top. It was larger than a house.
New Jersey Lights
Anonymous– on November 8, 2021, sighting seen that was far away and intently was so close you could see people like beings.
New York Object
Brooklyn – on November 12, 2021, I was taking photos of the moon and one caught a real UFO zipping by! Only one captured the UFO.
Pennsylvania Lights
Bethlehem – on November 6, 2021, I saw a large object in the southwest sky that was very well lit up. It was round and eight sided. It had lights all around it and thin spokes extending from the outer rim to the center.
Note: The videos taken by the witness are of Jupiter. The photos show scattered dots, Photos of planets can look strange due to camera movement and poor focus. Jupiter was very bright in the southwest sky. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
West Salem – on November 12, 2021, while driving in the country I saw a huge very bright light 1500 feet agl. As I got closer, I saw that it was actually three bright lights each at the end of the points of a triangle shaped craft. I was looking at the bottom of the craft.
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Object
Shoal Bay– on November 10, 2021, I heard a Jet Fighter and saw it after hearing a boom. Taped and saw an object at the very end of the recording. It was travelling fast above the clouds. You be the judge. The balls were the size of a Mac Trucks.
Croatia Lights
Zagreb– on November 1, 2021, I was looking out of window at night, and I saw a glowing object not too far away from me. It was stationary and went to eat and object disappeared.
France Triangle
Cernay – on November 9, 2021, observation at 6:40 p.m., while driving to Haut Rhin in Alsace of an immense triangle hovering silently. It was four hundred meters high as it flies slowly over me. I return home 2 minutes later, and I hear two fighter planes near the object.
I live close to the Basel Mulhouse airport, but it did not look like a plane. Depiction photo.
Germany Light
Lewis– on November 17, 2021, may very well be nothing but odd image on a sunset picture. I did not see it until reviewing pictures.
Mexico Light
Monterrey– on November 1, 2021, checking my surveillance camera I found this.
Russia Disc
Russia 1980 Disc
South Africa Light
Machadodorp – on November 13, 2021, Moornkop Fish and Wildlife resort, Machadodorp, Mpumalanga. South Africa.
Steynsburg – on November 13, 2021, I was walking home at 19:35 and looked up to see a row of lights silently drifting above the clouds. There were fifteen lights at the bottom. It was about 3-4 times the size of the moon from my point of view. It was fling Southeast and I tried following its path for 5 minutes before I lost it behind a cloud.
UK/England Object
Stourport— on June 26, 2021, spotted two spinning objects that stayed in one space then vanished. There was no other flying object in the area. I’m 100% confident this was a UFO
UK Scotland Lights
West Lothian–– on November 6, 2021, I noticed a zigzag lights in the sky. It was small, had white/yellow flashes and was oval in shape. It moved very quickly west and below a tree line.
Note:The image above does show an unusual object. Little is known about the photo (shutter speed, focal length, etc.) The image may be a still image extracted from a video. It appears that the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) may be in the background. These phenomena are very visible in northern latitudes. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

A Whole Other World Under Our Feet ~ Massive D.U.M.B.'s .. Deep Underground Military Bunkers via Mad Malloy
Deep Underground Military Base abbreviation of D.U.M.B
The “conspiracy theory” of DUMBS or Deep Underground Military Bases, is pretty incredible. Most people have never even heard of DUMBS, and I suspect that even fewer believe that they are real. Even though there are many conflicting opinions on the existence of Deep Underground Military Bases, there seems to be a great deal of evidence that DUMBS do exist.

Colliding Gases at the Heart of the Running Man Nebula
Colliding Gases at the Heart of the Running Man Nebula
Behold, the Herbig-Haro object known as HH45, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)! These objects are a rarely seen type of nebula made up of luminous clouds of dust and gas. These occur when newborn stars form within a nebula and eject hot gas, colliding with the surrounding gas and dust. The result is bright shock waves that look like mounded, luminous clouds in space!
In this image, HH45 is shown inside the nebula NGC 1977, part of the larger three-nebulae complex called the Running Man. The Hubble image managed to capture the clouds of ionized oxygen (O II) and magnesium (Mg II), indicated in blue and purple (respectively). These elements are of particular interest to researchers since they can identify shocks and ionization fronts with these objects.

Along with its companions, NGC 1975 and NGC 1973, NGC 1977 is one of three reflection nebulas that make up the Running Man Nebula located in the constellation Orion (just north of the massive Orion Nebula). The term reflection nebula refers to clouds of dust and fast that don’t emit light on their own but reflect light from nearby stars. In the case of NGC 1977, the entire region is excited by the hot young star 42 Orionis (HD 37018).
On the same day that the HH45 image was released, NASA released a second image (shown below) of a stellar jet inside NGC 1977 visible to Hubble. The orange plasma jet (visible at the bottom center of the image) stretches over two light-years through space and was emitted by the young star Parengo 2042. This star is embedded in a disk of debris that could give rise to planets someday.
The red and orange colors in this image indicate the jet and the related glowing shocks waves, which are visible because of how they are powered by the radiation of a nearby star – 42 Orionis. While this star isn’t visible in the image, its bright light can be seen entering the frame at the lower right and extending across the bottom half of the picture.
On the right side of the image, there are glowing blue ripples that look like they are flowing away from the jet, which are bow shocks facing 42 Orionis. In space, bow shocks happen when streams of gas collide and form crescent-shaped waves, similar to what ships at sea leave in their wake. Similarly, the bright western lobe of the jet is surrounded by a series of orange arcs that diminish in size with distance, forming what appears to be a conical shape.

Jets like this are particularly useful to researchers because the outflowing gas remains visible thanks to the ionizing radiation of nearby stars. Ordinarily, outflow jets are only visible when they collide with surrounding gas and dust, creating bright shock waves that disappear once they cool. It also provides a visual representation of what Hubble was looking for while observing this nebula.
Basically, Hubble observes reflecting nebulae like NGC 1977 in the hopes of witnessing stellar jets and planet-forming disks. The overall aim is to learn more about how debris disks from which planets form are affected by ionizing radiation and other factors in their local environment. Data obtained from these types of observations campaign ultimately allow astronomers to improve their models of planetary formation and help address the deeper questions of how and where life can emerge in our Universe.
For the past two years, China's Yutu 2 rover has been roaming across the Von Karman crater on the far side of the moon. And on its journey, it spotted a mysterious cube-shaped object.
According to Space.com, the China National Space Administration keeps a log of each of the rover's lunar days, which is around 29 Earth days, according to NASA. On its 36th lunar day, the rover spotted a cube-shaped object on the horizon about 260 feet away. Andrew Jones, a Space.com reporter tracking China's space endeavors, said officials called it a "mystery house." Here is what the object looks like:
Photos of the object have gone viral on Twitter, and some users have come up with some interesting, and funny, theories on what it might be.
On the other hand, some people were wondering if this cube-shaped object could mean something dangerous:
Though there is no actual answer for what the cube is, it probably isn't something that is going to destroy Earth. Jones said the most likely explanation is it's actually a large boulder that appeared after an impact event.
But China officials are intrigued by the object, and Yutu 2 will be traversing through the region and avoiding craters to get closer to it. It will take the rover two to three lunar days, or up to three months, to approach the object. Still, some are hoping for complete chaos.

Mysterious cube shaped object on the dark side of the moon
China's Yutu-2 rover spotted a strange cube-shaped object in Von Kármán crater on the dark side of the moon.
Since the rover is about 80m away from the fuzzy object the rover team is planning to drive over and get a closer look at the object.
Although they are talking about a cube-shaped object, the object seems to consist of two towers. The true nature of the object should be become clearer as the rover gets closer.
Near the closing hours of world war two, the nazis started to experiment with more… unconventional aircraft designs. And technologies that some would consider, unnatural.
With the ability to fly in any direction at the moment’s notice, invisible to radar, and the ability to launch guided missiles, this new flying saucer would have changed the tide of war.
5 incredible new discoveries about our next home, the Red Planet Mars
5 incredible new discoveries about our next home, the Red Planet Mars NASA's rovers are scouring the surface of the Red Planet for any information that will assist in getting humans living on Mars.
Jak Connor
NASA has set a goal of getting a sustainable colony of humans on Mars by 2030, and in the years leading up to 2030 the space agency is collecting any relevant information that will assist them in the pursuit.
A big part of the data collection aspect of the mission is NASA's Mars rovers, Perseverance and Curiosity. Perseverance landed on the Red Planet on February 18, 2021 and has since been inspecting the Jezero Crater for any signs of ancient microbial life. Curiosity landed on Mars on August 6, 2012 and has been studying the geology of Mars for quite some time. Recently, Curiosity snapped an incredible view of the Martian landscape, check it out here.
Since the pursuit of Mars has begun there have been several notable discoveries, and some of them have happened in 2021. Below you will find five recent incredible discoveries about Mars that will assist the human civilization in creating a sustainable presence on Mars.
1. Mars Once Contained Water
It was recently confirmed in a paper from earlier in 2021 with images taken by NASA's recently landed Perseverance rover that the Jezero Crater was once flooded with water, and had a river delta present.
NASA's InSight probe, which is equipped with extremely sensitive instruments that measure the vibrations of deep within Mars detected the first Marsquake, and provided data that indicates Mars' crust may be anywhere between 12 and 23 miles thick. Researchers are yet to determine if Mars' core is the same as Earth's.
"Provided details on the depth and composition of Mars' crust, mantle, and core, including confirmation that the planet's center is molten. Earth's outer core is molten, while its inner core is solid; scientists will continue to use InSight's data to determine whether the same holds true for Mars," explains NASA.
Back in July, 2021, a paper was published in the journal Geophysical Researcher Letters that details a study on the topography and mineral composition of a select area that's located in the northern hemisphere of Mars. The study found evidence of "super eruptions".
"Spewing water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide into the air, these explosions tore through the Martian surface over a 500-million-year period about 4 billion years ago."
In early September, NASA's Perseverance rover collected its first rock sample, and has since collected four more samples. The samples being collected are showing signs of groundwater being present, which may even contain microbial life.
"It looks like our first rocks reveal a potentially habitable sustained environment. It's a big deal that the water was there a long time," said Ken Farley of Caltech, the project scientist for the mission.
Researchers believe that Mars once contained quite a lot of water, but are yet to find a singular reason why it lost it all. However, they have discovered some factors at would have been at play. Using three spacecrafts researchers were able to discover the dust storms warm up higher altitudes of the cold atmosphere.
"In the higher reaches of Mars, where the atmosphere is sparse, water molecules are left vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation, which breaks them up into their lighter components of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen, which is the lightest element, is easily lost to space, with oxygen either escaping or settling back to the surface," NASA explained
THE MIGHTY JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE IS ALL FUELED UP FOR LAUNCH
THE MIGHTY JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE IS ALL FUELED UP FOR LAUNCH
IT TOOK 10 WHOLE DAYS TO FUEL IT UP DUE TO HOW DANGEROUS THE PROPELLANT IS.
NASA
Ready to Launch
The James Webb Space Telescope is all fueled up and ready to go.
NASA announced on Monday that the controversial spacecrafthas been loaded with a propellant it’ll use for its thrusters to move around while in orbit, according to a blog post from the agency. These thrusters will be crucial as the craft makes precise course corrections shortly after launch.
“The loading of propellants into the Webb observatory is complete at the Arianespace launch facilities in Kourou, French Guiana,” Randy Kimble, the Webb’s integration, test and commissioning project scientist, said in a separate update. “This is an important step in the path toward launch.”
Final Countdown
The telescope is slated to launch later this month from Europe’s spaceport in French Guiana. The craft will be placed on an Ariane 5, a European heavy-lift launch vehicle operated by the European Space Agency, which will yeet it to its new home in orbit.
Fueling the telescope itself was an incredibly delicate procedure, as the propellants are extremely toxic. In fact, it took 10 days in order to pressurize the Webb’s propellant tanks all the way.
Name Blame
While the telescope is expected to provide the clearest and furthest views into space ever, it has attracted a ton of controversy due to its namesake: former NASA administrator James Webb.
Still, the Webb will be the most advanced orbital observatory in history when it launches. It’s so sophisticated that some even believe it’ll discover evidence of human life — which almost makes up for its terrible name. Almost.
Scientists Say They Caught China Successfully Changing the Weather
Scientists Say They Caught China Successfully Changing the Weather
Talk about making it rain!
Image by STR/AFP via Getty Images
China has succeeded in literally changing the weather, a new study claims.
As the South China Morning Post reports, researchers say that during the Chinese Communist Party’s centennial celebration over the summer, weather authorities successfully modified the weather above Beijing to clear the sky and reduce pollution for the tens of thousands gathered for a commemorative ceremony in Tiananmen Square.
They did so using cloud seeding technology, a long-studied but controversial process that involves shooting silver iodide particles into the clouds, with the idea of attracting water droplets to modify the weather.
The paper, by researchers at China’s Tsinghua University, comes a year after reports that China was dramatically expanding its weather modification program to a test area of a whopping 5.5 million square miles by the year 2025. As Futurism noted last December, that’s bigger than the entire country of India, and could end up raising serious issues with China’s neighbors.
Though this isn’t the first time China has used cloud-seeding technology — it’s been dabbling since as early as the months leading up to the 2008 Beijing Olympics — this appears to be both one of the most successful and also largest-scale tests conducted not just by the CCP, but in the world.
It was also not publicized, and part of the Tsinghua researchers’ paper focused on the evidence they found that cloud seeding had actually taken place, which included eyewitness reports of rockets being launched into the sky from the mountains outside of of Beijing before the July 1 centennial, and accounts of rocket debris after the fact.
According to the SCMP, there were a number of hurdles that weather officials had to jump to have successfully changed the weather. Pollution leading up to the CCP centennial was especially bad, the report noted, and it was China’s wettest recorded summer as well. Nevertheless, reports indicated that Beijing’s pollution on July 1 went from “moderate” to “good,” and the mid-day rain did in fact appear to be artificial.
This successful and large-scale operation in Beijing does, however, raise important questions both about potential military usage of the tech. If one country is able to control its own weather, it could in theory do so elsewhere — which is unwelcome news for anyone who isn’t invested in forever wars.
Moreover, while cloud seeding is often touted as a potential solution for the megadroughts of the not-so-distant-future, the technology hasn’t been successful for long enough to measure how it affects natural weather patterns, nevermind its impact on climate change.
For now, though, let’s just marvel at the fact that it now seems possible to literally make it rain on command.

SCIENTISTS ARE BUILDING A “BLACK BOX” TO RECORD THE END OF CIVILIZATION
SCIENTISTS ARE BUILDING A “BLACK BOX” TO RECORD THE END OF CIVILIZATION
"IT’S BUILT TO OUTLIVE US ALL."
EARTHSBLACKBOX
Apocalypse Cam
If — or when — human civilization collapses, what will remain? Maybe parts of some cities. Or the Statue of Liberty, a la “Planet of the Apes.” Overall, though, there might not be a lot of evidence left behind about what humanity accomplished — or what resulted in its downfall.
One team of researchers wants to change that. Their solution? A massive, indestructible box that’ll record scientific data to give future civilizations insight on how exactly humanity fell.
The project, dubbed Earth’s Black Box, will be an immense steel monolith installed in a remote location in Tasmania. It’s akin to the black boxes that are designed to survive airplane crashes and provide investigators valuable data on what led to the disaster — except on a planetary scale.
Indestructible Recorder
The project is a collaboration between researchers at the University of Tasmania, marketing agency Clemenger BBDO, and creative agency The Glue Society.
The team is designing the box to record climate data such as atmospheric CO2 levels, sea temperatures, and energy consumption levels. It’ll also gather contextual information like news headlines and social media posts.
“The idea is if the Earth does crash as a result of climate change, this indestructible recording device will be there for whoever’s left to learn from that,” Jim Curtis, the executive creative director at Clemenger BBDO, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
Outlive Humanity
The box itself will be made from three-inch-thick steel and cantilevered off granite. Inside will be a system of Internet-connected storage drives powered by solar panels on the box’s roof.
“It’s built to outlive us all,” Jonathan Kneebone, cofounder of the Glue Society, told ABC. “If the worst does happen, just because the power grids go down, this thing will still be there.
The biggest issue for the team now is how to help future civilizations access the information it contains. After all, they’ll just find a mysterious monolith out in the middle of nowhere — and we know how that worked out for us already.

During a cold February evening in 2016, a bewildering incident would transpire on the outskirts of Cardiff, which would in time go on to become known as the ‘Welsh Roswell Incident’.
Did the British military genuinely ambush a UFO in the Welsh valleys, or was this instead a misunderstanding of more earthly events? Join us, as we delve into The Mysterious Pentyrch Incident.
British oceanographers have closed a decades-in length examination concerning the Bermuda not really settled what is behind the many baffling vanishings in the area.
The secretive 700,000sqm triangle, extending between the tip of Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda, and has been the focal point of public interest for more than 100 years, when reports initially began arising of a surprising measure of wrecks in the area. The New York Times guaranteed somewhere around 50 boats, 20 airplanes, and in excess of 1,000 individuals have capitulated to the Triangle in the course of recent years.
Presently, scientists from the University of Southampton say ships are being sucked into the sea by “rebel waves” more than 30 meters (100ft) in stature, and clarified their hypothesis on the Channel 5 narrative The Bermuda Triangle Enigma.
“There are tempests toward the South and North, which meet up… we’ve estimated waves more than 30 meters. The greater the boat gets, the more harm is done,” Dr Simon Boxall, an oceanographer who drove the review, told The Sun.
While numerous speculations to clarify the vanishings have been drifted about throughout the long term, researchers initially focused on the oddity wave theory when a 18.5 meter rebel wave was estimated in the North Sea by satellites in 1995.
Rebel waves happen when a strangely enormous wave crashes in the untamed ocean. Ordinary rushes of around 12 meters have a breaking strain of 8.5 psi (pounds per square inch). Present day ships are intended to endure around 21 psi, however rebel waves can have a devastating strain of up to 140 psi – enough to bring down even the sturdiest of boats.
For the narrative, Dr. Boxall and his group re-made the mammoth waves utilizing indoor test systems and fabricated a model of the USS Cyclops to see what impact it would have on the huge boat. The Cyclops disappeared in the triangle in 1918 with 309 individuals ready.
“Assuming you can envision rebel waves with tops at one or the flip side, there’s nothing beneath the boat, so it snaps in two. Assuming it occurs, it can soak in a few minutes,” said Boxall.
The latest vanishing was simply last year when a plane conveying four individuals disappeared over the notorious triangle. The gathering had gone through Mother’s Day in Puerto Rico and were flying back to Florida when their twin-prop plane disappeared from radar. The inquiry was ultimately canceled and no bodies were at any point found.
The S30 UFO – Bizarre Aircraft With Unrealistic Maneuverability Filmed Over Nellis Afb Test Range
The S30 UFO – Bizarre Aircraft With Unrealistic Maneuverability Filmed Over Nellis Afb Test Range
By Olav Phillips
As most of our readers already know, the Nellis Test Range complex has been home of some of our country’s most highly classified TOP SECRET and BLACK PROJECTS. Secret projects such as the U2, SR71, the B2 bomber, the Aurora, and the F117A Nighthawk Stealth fighter have all been based or tested there at one time or another.
It only makes sense that this is where we would expect to find some our latest technological developments and it is with that in mind that we now discuss one of the more exotic aircraft we have seen come out of Nellis.
This UFO was caught on film by a government controlled state-of-the-art radar tracking system at a remote tracking location known as Area S30 on the Nellis Test Range in 1994. The radar-controlled cameras monitor the 7700 square miles above the range.
The purpose of the cameras are to record jet-fighter training and tactical exercises; after all, Nellis is known as “The Home of the Fighter Pilot,” as most of America’s ace fighter pilots have done residence at Nellis.
The most logical explanation for this UFO would be that it is some sort of secret project, but typically the contractor personnel at the tracking stations are not exposed to these highly classified projects and the cameras are normally deactivated when those types of projects are flying.
Tolicha Peak, Quartz Mountain or Black Mountain?
The exact location on the test-range where this “Area S30” is located has not been determined, but a few frames of the video reveal a mountain range with what appears to be a couple of radar domes.
It was reported that it might be either Tolicha Peak, Quartz or Black Mountain. The Tolicha Peak area is one of interest because this is where the Tolicha Peak Electronic Combat Range is located.
Even though the object was photographed by a very good remote controlled fixed mounted camera, it still has that fuzzy gassy cloud cotton-ball look about it which seems to be common among some UFOs. One would think that the clarity and resolution would have been much better, but that seems to be typical of these objects.
The object is anomalous for a couple of reasons. It does not resemble any known aircraft and has no apparent wings or means of propulsion that are visible.
The flight characteristics of the craft are totally unconventional compared to known aircraft. When viewing the video, the object appears to make abrupt right-hand turns and horizontal climbs.
The physical shape of the object is hard to ascertain and appears to change shape from frame to frame; at times it appears to be 4 spheres with a darker appendage in the middle.
Air Traffic Control – Radio Transmission
This is a snippet of the radio transmission captured with the video. What this transmission clearly shows is that the ATC/Range Control had no idea what this aircraft was and what is was doing.
CONTROL: I show an aircraft headed north pretty fast. OPERATOR 1: I got a helo [slang for helicopter]. FEMALE OP: At eleven? OPERATOR 1: Yeah, can’t figure out where he’s at on this thing. CONTROL: Be advised… We’re filled to capacity. OPERATOR 2: What is that? OPERATOR 1: I don’t know. No idea. A helo? FEMALE OP: Looks like one. It’s way up high no. It’s going, like straight up. OPERATOR 1: We acquired this unknown object. Aircraft of some type. We’re going to put a launch up on it anyways, see what happens. It seems to be hovering there. [Gives bearing of UFO]. It appears to be going outbound real slow. There’s hardly any range velocity. I don’t know if this would impact or not….[Simulated launch occurs.] We have impact. We’ll call this a kill on this unknown aircraft. T-1 Control doesn’t know what type of aircraft this is either… OPERATOR 2: That’s weird. OPERATOR 1: Strange.
As an added bonus to serious investigators, included on the videotape are the camera tracking information indicators which include the azimuth, elevation and range-to-target indicators. With this information, the anomalous nature of the object’s movements can be studied in greater detail.
In the original “Sightings” TV episode, where the video was made available, it was reported that the videotape was smuggled out by base employees and this may be true, but we find it hard to understand how that could happen without the personnel involved being found out.
Could there be a more clandestine motive behind the release of this video? If so, what would be the purpose?
This month, anasteroid the size of the Eiffel Tower is hurtling towards Earth, and experts are calling it a very remarkable chunk of rock. Because of its closeness to Earth, the asteroid 4660 Nereus is designated as a possibly dangerous object. NASA anticipates it to be at its closest point to Earth in 20 years on Dec. 11. In 1982, the asteroid was found.
The 4660 Nereus is a 330-meter asteroid in the shape of an egg that will pass within 2.5 million miles of Earth during the next week, according to astronomers.
Even though it sounds like a long way away, it’s just around 10 times farther away than the moon, which is considered close by cosmic standards. A near-Earth object is an asteroid or comet that approaches within 30 million miles of Earth’s orbit, according to NASA.
Nereus has been recommended as a destination for a space mission several times, according to Forbes, because of its egg form, size, and orbital route around the sun, it is a perfect asteroid to explore. Researchers regarded Nereus as a strong possibility for a rendezvous mission as early as 2009.
We’ll talk about it in this article. In a week, an asteroid will break into Earth’s orbit: NASA So, in order to satisfy your curiosity, let’s get right into it.
Six months is insufficient time to prepare for an asteroid collision
The simulation’s fake asteroid was dubbed 2021PDC. According NASA’s scenario, it was first discovered on April 19 and has a 5% probability of crashing with Earth on October 20, six months after its detection.
However, on Day 2 of the experiment, updated impact-trajectory estimates revealed that the 2021PDC would almost probably hit Europe or northern Africa. The participants in the game evaluated a variety of missions in which spacecraft may try to kill or redirect the asteroid from its course. However, they determined that such missions would not be able to get off the ground in time to avoid the asteroid’s collision.
We would not be able to launch any spacecraft on such short notice with present capabilities if confronted with the 2021PDC hypothetical scenario in real life, the panelists added. They also explored employing a nuclear explosive device to detonate or disturb the asteroid. They discovered that deploying a nuclear disruption mission might greatly lower the chance of impact damage.
The majority of asteroids go unnoticed, and many are discovered too late.
It’s tempting to believe that scientists would discover an asteroid similar to 2021PDC with considerably more notice than six months in the actual world. However, the world’s surveillance of near-Earth objects (NEOs) is grossly inadequate.
A NEO is space rock with an orbit that brings it within 125 million miles of the sun. However, NASA’s Johnson stated in July that “we’ve only detected approximately a third of the population of asteroids out there that potentially pose an impact threat to the Earth.
Of course, mankind wants to prevent a similar surprise to that one the dinosaurs experienced 65 million years ago when a 6-mile-wide asteroid collided with the Earth. However, scientists have missed several massive, deadly objects that have come near in recent years.
In July, a 3-mile-wide shard of space ice called Comet Neowise came within 64 million miles of Earth. Nobody knew the comet existed until it was found approaching four months before by a NASA space telescope.
In 2013, a meteor with a diameter of 65 feet entered the atmosphere at a speed of 40,000 miles per hour. It erupted without warning above Chelyabinsk, Russia, blasting a shockwave over the region, shattering windows and damaging structures. More than 1,400 individuals were injured as a result of the accident.
NASA is experimenting with strategies to thwart an asteroid.
NASA has looked at what choices scientists would have if they discovered a deadly asteroid heading for Earth. Detonating an incendiary material near the space rock, as recommended by the exercise participants, or shooting lasers at the asteroid to heat and melt it enough to change its direction are two possibilities.
Another option is to send a spaceship up to collide with an approaching asteroid, knocking it off course. This is the strategy that NASA is most committed to The FDA plans to conduct a test of this technology later this year. In the fall of 2022, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test will launch a spacecraft to the asteroid Dimorphos and intentionally crash it.
Dimorphos’ orbit may be altered as a result of the impact, according to NASA. While the asteroid poses no threat to Earth, the expedition might demonstrate that diverting an asteroid with adequate advance time is conceivable.
How many asteroids near Earth have been detected so far?
More than 19,000 near-Earth asteroids had been detected as of the start of 2019. Every week, an average of 30 new discoveries are made. The 15,000th near-Earth asteroid was discovered on October 13, 2016, marking a 50 percent increase in the number of known near-Earth asteroids since August of that year, when discoveries surpassed 10,000.
Since 1998, when NASA started its Near-Earth Object Observations Program and began tracking and documenting them, more than 95 percent of these objects have been found through NASA-funded surveys. The Center for NEO Studies at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory keeps track of asteroid discoveries.
Conclusion
Astronomers were busy collecting measurements of the asteroid Apophis during its most recent flyby, which occurred in early March. Later calculations allowed NASA scientists to declare on March 26, 2021, that Earth is safe for at least the next 100 years from a collision with the moderately massive asteroid.
Radar readings at NASA’s Beatty Deep Space Communications Complex in Florida and the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia have ruled out a collision in 2068, the only year in the next 100 with modest risk. Impacts during the forthcoming flybys in 2029 and 2036 have been ruled out by previous observations.
Warp drive pioneer and former NASA warp drive specialist Dr. Harold G “Sonny” White has reported the successful manifestation of an actual, real-world “Warp Bubble.” And, according to White, this first of its kind breakthrough by his Limitless Space Institute (LSI) team sets a new starting point for those trying to manufacture a full-sized, warp-capable spacecraft.
“To be clear, our finding is not a warp bubble analog, it is a real, albeit humble and tiny, warp bubble,” White told The Debrief, quickly dispensing with the notion that this is anything other than the creation of an actual, real-world warp bubble. “Hence the significance.”
That solution was lauded for its elegant mathematics, yet simultaneously derided for its use of theoretical materials and massive amounts of energy that appeared virtually impossible to engineer in any practical way.
Over a decade later, this theory underwent a major shift, when Dr. White, a then NASA-employed warp drive specialist and the founder of the highly respected Eagleworks laboratory, reworked Alcubierre’s original metric and put it into canonical form. This change in design dramatically reduced the exotic materials and energy requirements of the original concept, seemingly providing researchers and science fiction fans alike at least a glimmer of hope that a real-world warp drive may one day become a reality. It also resulted in the informal renaming of the original theoretical design, a concept now more commonly referred to as the “Alcubierre/White Warp Drive.”
Since then, The Debrief has covered a number of physicists and engineers taking their own stabs at designing a viable warp drive, including an entire group of international researchers working on a warp drive that requires no exotic matter. However, like Alcubierre and White before them, the warp concepts of these would-be visionaries all still remain theoretical in nature.
Now, it appears the situation has changed.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY AT WARP SPEED
It is often said that timing is everything. Therefore, it is not surprising that back when Dr. White began his latest DARPA-funded research into custom Casimir cavities (a unique, micro-scale structure with all types of promising applications), he definitely did not expect to stumble upon this potentially historic discovery, particularly one supporting a theoretical concept that has often defined his public persona.
“Some work we’ve been doing for DARPA Defense Science Office is the study of some custom Casimir cavity geometries,” explained White at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Propulsion Energy Forum in August of 2021, an event attended by The Debrief. “In the process of doing that work, we kind of made an accidental discovery.”
Without going into the complicated physics behind Casimir cavities and the tantalizing quantum-scale forces often observed in these unusual structures, it suffices to say that they are in no way related to warp drive theory or mechanics. At least, they never had been before. But, says White, it is work that he and his LSI team are passionate about, and something DARPA believes has a number of possible applications.
So, whether by pure coincidence or some sort of personal destiny, it appears that one of the handful of engineers on the planet who would immediately know what it was he was looking at when conducting his Casimir cavity research was in the exact right place at the exact right time to notice a striking similarity to his warp drive passion project and his current research, an observation that may have otherwise gone unseen.
“I think this is a great example of sometimes you are doing work for one reason, and you find something else you really didn’t expect to find,” said White at the AIAA conference.
Therefore, in this particular case at least, it seems that timing was indeed everything.
PEER REVIEW AND CONFIRMATION OF WARP BUBBLE
“While conducting analysis related to a DARPA-funded project to evaluate possible structure of the energy density present in a Casimir cavity as predicted by the dynamic vacuum model,” reads the actual findings published in the peer-reviewed European Physical Journal, “a micro/nano-scale structure has been discovered that predicts negative energy density distribution that closely matches requirements for the Alcubierre metric.”
Or put more simply, as White did in a recent email to The Debrief, “To my knowledge, this is the first paper in the peer-reviewed literature that proposes a realizable nano-structure that is predicted to manifest a real, albeit humble, warp bubble.”
This fortuitous finding, says White, not only confirms the predicted “toroidal” structure and negative energy aspects of a warp bubble, but also resulted in potential pathways he and other researchers can follow when trying to design, and one day actually construct, a real-world warp-capable spacecraft.
“This is a potential structure we can propose to the community that one could build that will generate a negative vacuum energy density distribution that is very similar to what’s required for an Alcubierre space warp,” explained White.

A PROPOSED PATH FORWARD
To further evaluate his groundbreaking results and move the research forward, White and his team have come up with a proposed design for a testable, nano-scale “warp drive craft.”
“Specifically,” said White during the AIAA presentation, “a toy model consisting of a 1-micron diameter sphere centrally located in a 4-micron diameter cylinder was analyzed to show a three-dimensional Casimir energy density that correlates well with the Alcubierre warp metric requirements.”
“This qualitative correlation,” he adds, “would suggest that chip-scale experiments might be explored to attempt to measure tiny signatures illustrative of the presence of the conjectured phenomenon: a real, albeit humble, warp bubble.”
White expanded further on that idea in yet another email to The Debrief.
“This is a potential structure we can propose to the community that one could build that will generate a negative vacuum energy density distribution that is very similar to what’s required for an Alcubierre space warp.”
When asked by The Debrief in December if his team has built and tested this proposed nano-scale warp craft design since that August announcement, or if they have plans to do so, White said, “We have not manufactured the one-micron sphere in the middle of a 4-micron cylinder.” However, he noted, if the LSI team were to undertake that at some point, “we’d probably use a nanoscribe GT 3D printer that prints at the nanometer scale.” In short, they have the means, now they just need the opportunity.
There is “no plan to do this currently,” explained White, as “we are laser-focused on the custom Casimir cavities.”
Nonetheless, after proposing this further path for future research, White and his team have also outlined a second testable experiment that involves stringing a number of these Casimir-created warp bubbles in a chain-like configuration. This design, he said, would allow researchers to better understand the physics of the warp bubble structure already created, as well as how a craft may one day traverse actual space inside such a warp bubble.
“We could go through an examination of the optical properties as a result of these little, nano-scale warp bubbles,” explained White at the AIAA conference. “Aggregating a large number of them in a row, we can increase the magnitude of the effect so we can see (and study) it.”
Given that DARPA is paying the LSI Eagleworks lab to explore Casimir cavities and not the accidental discovery of a warp bubble, regardless of its potentially staggering implications (at least, not yet), it is not surprising that White and his team remain “laser-focused” on the work at hand. Plus, given the sometimes secretive nature of work funded by groups like DARPA, even if White and his team were planning to conduct the two tests outlined once their current project is completed, it may not be immediately made public until another significant breakthrough is cleared for publication.
(Note: White confirmed to The Debrief that the current DARPA-funded research is not classified, hence his freedom to publish the warp bubble result. However, the normally forthcoming researcher was more tight-lipped when asked whether or not any future, potentially DARPA-funded work on a nano-scale warp bubble spacecraft might be in the offing once this current work is finished.)
In the end, especially given the magnitude of this discovery and its potential implications, White believes it is only a matter of time before his mini-warp craft is designed and tested, a milestone that he believes will slowly but surely move the whole process toward the ultimate goal of a warp-capable spacecraft.
“This discovery allows us to identify a real structure that can be manufactured that will manifest a real warp bubble,” White explained to The Debrief.
When asked by The Debrief how quickly a successfully-tested nano-scale “craft” like the experimental one his team proposed could be scaled up to something that can actually be flown in space, he offered a more realistic approach to this research, along with an almost poetic piece of hard-earned advice.
“It is early to ask questions about some type of actual flight experiment,” said White. “In my mind, step one is to just explore the underlying science at the nano/micro scale,” before moving toward a larger craft.
Or put more simply, as White did to end that same email, “Crawl, walk, run.”
The Schumann Resonance has skyrocketed in the past couple of months, and researchers don’t seem to find a solid reason for what’s happening. The Earth’s magnetic field is also weakening, and scientists don’t know the reasons for this.
So much is happening in this century and people all over the world are starting to feel these changes. A great transition is upon us but there is also a danger for everything that is happening on Earth, starting with climate change, a danger that involves not only humans, but the whole planet, our only home.
Without the earth’s magnetic field we could not live. This complex and dynamic force protects us from the radiation found in space and solar winds. It is generated by the core of the Earth, a central Heart or Sun which is about 3,000 kilometers below our feet, which, like a conductor, generates electric currents and etheric waves.
The problem is that in the last 200 years the magnetic field has lost about 9% of its strength. The large, weakest region is found in Africa and South America and is often referred to as the “South Atlantic Anomaly”.
Over the past five years, a second center of least intensity has emerged in southwestern Africa, indicating that the South Atlantic Anomaly could split into two separate cells. Scientists from the Swarm Data, Innovation and Science Cluster (DISC) are using data from ESA’s Swarm satellite constellation to better understand this anomaly. These satellites are designed to accurately identify and measure the different magnetic signals that make up the earth’s field.
Jürgen Matzka, of the German Research Center for Geosciences, says: “The new eastern low of the anomaly has appeared in the last decade and has been developing vigorously in recent years. We are very fortunate to have the Swarm satellites in orbit to study their development. The challenge now is to understand the processes in the Earth’s core that drive these changes. ”
ANOMALIES IN SCHUMANN RESONANCE
As mentioned above, the Earth has a central Sun or Heart therefore a heartbeat that emits a pulsating electromagnetic field. It is called the “Schumann Resonance” and envelops all living things in a natural and constant frequency, pulsing at exactly 7.83 Hz for thousands of years.
For the A̳n̳c̳i̳e̳n̳t̳ Rishi Indians, this number had a special meaning, as it was identified with the frequency of OM, the sacred and cosmic sound in the Hindu religion. As you are about to see, it now has special significance for all who are becoming aware of this great shift taking place.
For the Western world, the Schumann resonance represents the frequency of the earth’s electromagnetic field. It has pulsed steadily at 7.83Hz with very little variation since it was predicted in 1952.
That all changed in June 2014 when the Russian Space Observatory system showed a sudden surge in activity, peaking at 8.5Hz and even reaching 16.5Hz on some other days.
The researchers were really baffled by this anomaly which had never been recorded before and were unsure how to interpret it. Stacked on top of this dilemma, other unusual peaks have recently been detected, surprisingly rising to over 30Hz, far above the milestone set in 2014. So what to do with this sizable jump in Schumann resonances?
What researchers can mutually agree on is that these changes clearly mean a change of some kind. It is now believed that humans, who have resided in a latent state for thousands of years, are awakening to a greater reality where thoughts will materialize almost in an instant.
The Schumann resonance and the change that has been taking place in recent years are some of the best evidence we have of this change. It has long been suspected that human beings acting at the level of “collective consciousness” may impact the structure of the magnetic field and create disturbances (or some influence) in it, such as the recently detected spikes. This is usually amplified during times of a high spike in states of anxiety, passion, or tension.
This is all based on the fact that the Schumann frequency is “in tune” with the alpha and theta states of the human brain. These rising resonances naturally correspond to the activity of human brainwaves, which means that if Mother Earth is regulating her vibration frequency, then we might as well, especially due to our bond with her.
Another thing to keep in mind is the acceleration of time that has been felt by a growing number of people lately. Since the planet is pulsing at a more careful rate, it could also mean that this is affecting time itself, speeding it up.
So why do we feel that time passes faster than usual?
The reason is apparently related to the acceleration of the Schumann Resonance which makes us perceive a period of 24 hours as about 16 hours. We know that the “heartbeat of the Earth” is accelerating, and after thousands of years with a rigid notion of time, where a full day counted 24 hours, the accelerating “heartbeat” of the Earth is making us feel only two thirds of that. temporal quantity, due to our unconscious adjustment to this New Age frequency.
That distant, somewhat cube-shaped object is the "mystery house" China's Yutu-2 rover is planning to take a closer look at.

The Yutu-2 rover is on a roll. It's been exploring the far side of the moon since early 2019 as part of China's Chang'e-4 lunar lander mission. It now has its eyes set on a strange-looking cube-shaped object it spotted in the distance.
Ah. We have an update from Yutu-2 on the lunar far side, including an image of a cubic shape on the northern horizon ~80m away from the rover in Von Kármán crater. Referred to as "神秘小屋" ("mystery house"), the next 2-3 lunar days will be spent getting closer to check it out. pic.twitter.com/LWPZoWN05I
Yutu-2's view of the cube is fuzzy and far-off, so the object's true nature should become clearer as the rover gets closer. The most likely explanation is a boulder. This part of the moon is pockmarked with impact craters, which can feature quite a bit of chunky debris.
Don't look to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon for scientific information about the lunar far side. China's rover is solar-powered, so it periodically goes into hibernation when it's dark and then gets back to work when the sun is out in the Von Karman crater.
According China Daily, Yutu-2 has already traveled 2,756 feet (840 meters) across the moon. Its next jaunt should shed some light on the "mystery house."
Chinese robotjeep spot ‘vreemde kubus’ op achterkant van de maan
De Chinese maanrover Yutu 2 heeft tijdens zijn verkenning van de achterkant van de maan in de verte een ‘vreemd, kubusachtig object’ gespot. Dat schrijft space.com op basis van het dagboek van Yutu 2 op het Chinese wetenschapskanaal ‘Our Space’. We moeten nu niet meteen aan buitenaards leven denken, merkt journalist Andrew Jones van space.com op. “Maar het is wel iets om verder te onderzoeken.”
Jones schrijft op Twitter dat de kubusvorm zich op zo’n 80 meter van de rover in de Von Kármán-krater bevindt. In het Chinees wordt er op ‘Our Space’ naar verwezen als een ‘mysterieuze hut’. Meer een koosnaampje dan de benaming van de realiteit. Het is nu volgens Jones wachten op updates die de rover Yutu 2 de komende twee à drie maan-dagen (twee à drie aardse maanden) vermoedelijk zal verzamelen door dichter bij het voorwerp te komen. Een waarschijnlijke verklaring voor de kubusvorm zou kunnen zijn dat het om een groot rotsblok gaat dat door een inslag is uitgegraven. De achterkant van de maan wordt gekenmerkt door een groot aantal inslagkraters.
Maanlander Chang’e 4 nam robotjeep Yutu 2 bijna drie jaar geleden mee op trip naar de maan. Beide toestellen landden voor het eerst in de geschiedenis van de mensheid op 3 januari 2019 op de achterzijde van de maan, die wij vanop aarde nooit kunnen zien. Sindsdien verkent Yutu 2, aangedreven door zonne-energie, de bodem van de Von Kármán-krater, die zo’n 186 kilometer breed is.
Chang’e 4 is al de vierde Chinese missie naar de maan, de tweede met een rover. De eerste missie met zo’n robotjeep was Change’3. Die verkende de voorkant van de maan, het stuk van de maan dat wij vanop aarde wél kunnen waarnemen.

Proof that Humans are Not Alone
Proof that Humans are Not Alone
Ancient Astronaut Theory has existed in popular culture for nearly 50 years, asking the question whether extraterrestrials visited Earth in the remote past.
A new dinosaur that had a tail similar to a weapon that the Aztecs once used has been found and it is very odd. The new species, which has been named Stegouros elengassen, looked like a mix between a stegosaur and an ankylosaur.
Described as being a “very weird” dinosaur, paleontologists unearthed the remains in Chile – specifically in rocks that date back between 74.9 and 71.7 million years during the Cretaceous Period. The skeleton, which was around 80% complete, was very well preserved. In an interview with Live Science, Alexander Vargas, who is a vertebrate paleontologist in the Department of Biology at the University of Chile, described the skeleton by stating that “it’s weird, because it’s articulated [the bones are in order] from the waist down, and everything from the waist up was kind of scattered.” This may have been because it died near a river or even in quicksand but that theory hasn’t been proven yet.
(Not the Stegouros elengassen)
What’s so unusual about the 6.5-foot-long (2 meters) ankylosaur was that it had a deadly armored tail that looked like an Aztec war club as Mr. Vargas explained, “The tail would have looked like a sword; it’s so flat,” adding that it was “a bit like an Aztec sword, or the Aztec club called the macuahuitl.” It is the shortest tail of any armored dinosaur and contained seven paired flat and big osteoderms – the first two pairs were situated near its body while the others were merged together into a deadly flat weaponized tail.
“We all know tail clubs, we all know the tail spine, but this is a new lineage … a Southern Hemisphere lineage that evolved a third kind of tail weapon,” Mr. Vargas added.
Another interesting discovery the researchers made regarding the Stegouros elengassen involved the evolution of ankylosaurs. Those living in the northern supercontinent Laurasia were very different than the ones inhabiting the southern supercontinent Gondwana (Stegouros elengassen lived in Gondwana).
(Not the Stegouros elengassen)
Mr. Vargas detailed the Stegouros elengassen in greater detail, noting that it had a “rather large head with a narrow, curved beak, which is not common for ankylosaurs.” “It has slender limbs. … It doesn’t have pointed claws; it has rounded, hoof-like claws on both hands and feet.” Additionally, its pelvis was very similar to that of a Stegosaur. Their study was published in the journal Naturewhere it can be read in full.
A re-enactment of the Stegouros elengassen moving its tail and pictures of what it would have looked like can be viewed here.

First skeleton found was identified as 'dwarf' species but new study disputes this
The biggest and most complete dinosaur ever found inItaly is among the remains of up to 11 such creatures uncovered by paleontologists.
Fossilised skeletons belonging to the species Tethyshadros insularis were discovered at a site called Villaggio del Pescatore near Trieste.
Researchers said the dinosaur lived on an island of the European archipelago in the Tethys Ocean 80 million years ago.
Fossilised skeletons belonging to the species Tethyshadros insularis (pictured in an artist's impression) were discovered at a site called Villaggio del Pescatore near Trieste

Tethyshadros insularis
Diet:Herbivore
Size:13ft (4 metres) long
Known locations:Italy
Time period: Late Campanian of the Cretaceous
It had been believed that the first Tethyshadros insularis skeleton found at the site was a 'dwarf species', but the latest study by the University of Bologna disputes this.
The team of experts said 'Antonio', as the first skeleton was dubbed, was actually a young dinosaur after discovering another one named 'Bruno' that was bigger in size and may still have been growing at the time of its death.
Geologists had previously said the Villaggio del Pescatore site, dubbed a 'dinosaur trove', was part of an island in the middle of a 'proto-Mediterranean' ocean called Tethys.
This led to experts incorrectly identifying Antonio as a 'dwarf' species because they thought it was an example of the so-called 'island rule' — the evolutionary miniaturisation of bigger animals in an insular environment due to the scarcity of resources.

The study found there were at least seven and probably 11 dinosaurs at Villaggio del Pescatore
The study found there were at least seven and probably 11 dinosaur skeletons at Villaggio del Pescatore, as well as the remains of fish, crocodiles, flying reptiles and even small crustaceans.
It also suggests that the site is about 10 million years older than previously thought, dating back around 80 million years to the Cretaceous period.
At that time, what is now north-eastern Italy was a land facing a vast ocean but connected to western Europe and Asia.
This means that not only small islands made up the ancient Mediterranean, but many migratory routes for large terrestrial animals like the dinosaurs might have been possible across land bridges of what we nowadays call Italy.

KILLING OFF THE DINOSAURS: HOW A CITY-SIZED ASTEROID WIPED OUT 75 PER CENT OF ALL ANIMAL AND PLANT SPECIES
Around 66 million years ago non-avian dinosaurs were wiped out and more than half the world's species were obliterated.
This mass extinction paved the way for the rise of mammals and the appearance of humans.
The Chicxulub asteroid is often cited as a potential cause of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event.
The asteroid slammed into a shallow sea in what is now the Gulf of Mexico.
The collision released a huge dust and soot cloud that triggered global climate change, wiping out 75 per cent of all animal and plant species.
Researchers claim that the soot necessary for such a global catastrophe could only have come from a direct impact on rocks in shallow water around Mexico, which are especially rich in hydrocarbons.
Within 10 hours of the impact, a massive tsunami waved ripped through the Gulf coast, experts believe.

This caused earthquakes and landslides in areas as far as Argentina.
While investigating the event researchers found small particles of rock and other debris that was shot into the air when the asteroid crashed.
Called spherules, these small particles covered the planet with a thick layer of soot.
Experts explain that losing the light from the sun caused a complete collapse in the aquatic system.
This is because the phytoplankton base of almost all aquatic food chains would have been eliminated.
It's believed that the more than 180 million years of evolution that brought the world to the Cretaceous point was destroyed in less than the lifetime of a Tyrannosaurus rex, which is about 20 to 30 years.
Paleontologists in Italy have uncovered up to eleven skeletons belonging to a dinosaur species that lived approximately 80 million years ago. Included in these remains is the largest and most complete dinosaur that has ever been discovered in the country.
The bones, which belonged to a dinosaur species named Tethyshadros insularis, were unearthed at a location called Villaggio del Pescatore which is close to the Italian city of Trieste. It is believed that the creature inhabited one of the European archipelago islands in the Tethys Ocean.
Tethyshadros insularis was a type of herbivorous Hadrosauroid that grew as long as 13 feet (4 meters) and weighed as much as 350 kilograms (772 pounds). It had a long skull, short neck, short tail, and long legs (especially its shin bones). With the proportions of its body along with the reduced number of fingers, it probably ran on two legs.
(Not the Tethyshadros insularis)
Among the dinosaurs found was a young one named “Antonio” – this was the first one that was discovered and was previously believed to have been a “dwarf species” but new studies conducted by the University of Bologna have indicated that it was just a juvenile. Since the site where the bones were found was once part of an island, experts initially thought that the creatures were a “dwarf species” because of the “island rule” which meant that animals living on islands became smaller in size due to the lesser amounts of resources.
Another dinosaur named “Bruno” was larger than “Antonio” but might have still been in the process of growing when it died. In total, there were at least seven dinosaurs that were unearthed, but researchers say that the number is probably eleven.
Since the site is 80 million years old – 10 million years older than previously believed – terrestrial animals like the dinosaurs may have been able to cross land bridges in what we know today as being Italy.
(Not the Tethyshadros insularis)
In addition to the dinosaurs, researchers found the remains of flying reptiles, crocodiles, fish, and small crustaceans. Their study was published in the journal Scientific Reports where it can be read in full.
Pictures of the skeletons as well as what Tethyshadros insularis would have looked like can be seen here.

Tech firm will pay you £150,000 to use our face on its ROBOTS
The idea of lending your face to a robot may sound like the plot from an episode of Black Mirror, but it could soon become a reality.
Robot manufacturer Promobot is seeking a face for its next humanoid robot, which will be used in hotels, shopping malls and airports from 2023.
The firm is offering a whopping £150,000 ($200,000) to the brave volunteer, who must be willing to transfer the rights to use of their face forever.
Cornwall-based Engineered Arts, which brands itself 'the UK's leading designer and manufacturer of humanoid entertainment robots', unveiled the machine on YouTube to much excitement.
Many viewers expressed their amazement at how realistic and human-like the machine is.
One user wrote: 'I know we're supposed to be scared of AI, but this is the first gynoid that hasn't creeped me out. It's pretty cool.'
Another said: 'It's the eyes. People take for granted how important eyes are when it comes to something looking alive.
'The rapid movement, the focus, the blinking, the attention they seem to pay to whatever is grabbing their attention.'
A third added: 'I seriously thought this was CGI at first. Great work! The hands look really well done too.'
Some people compared Ameca to the NS-5 series from I, Robot, a 2004 science fiction film starring Will Smith that sees intelligent robots fill public service positions in a dystopian world.
In the clip, the robot is seen warming up its shoulder, before opening its eyes and expressing a rather convincing look of shock or surprise.
It even blinks multiple times and observes its machine arm with curiosity.

The preview ends with Ameca reaching out its hand and admiring its combination of mechanical limbs and ligaments, actuators, and sensor arrays.
It is certainly realistic and at the forefront of its field in terms of its expressions, but the next challenge will be enabling these robots to walk around.
Engineered Arts said it was still a long way off that, but added that the face is housed on a 'human-like artificial body (AI x AB)' that boasts a 'powerful Tritium robot operating system'.
It has not revealed how much the robot cost to make as it is still in development.

Ameca follows the development of Sophia, which first emerged in 2016, and was a super-intelligent human-like head with a realistic face that was able to blink, look from side to side and talk.
The humanoid robot, created by Hong Kong firm Hanson robotics, is able to chat, smile mischievously and even tell jokes.
The robot made history in October 2017 when it became legal a citizen of Saudi Arabia.
Engineered Arts hopes Ameca will offer people a glimpse of the future because it 'represents the forefront of human-robotics technology'.
'Designed specifically as a platform for development into future robotics technologies, Ameca is the perfect humanoid robot platform for human-robot interaction,' the company said on its website.
'We focus on bringing you innovative technologies, which are reliable, modular, upgradable and easy to develop upon.'
Engineered Arts was formed in 2005 and its first robot was a mechanical 'Thespian' for the stage.
WHO IS SOPHIA THE ROBOT?
In October 2017, Sophia was granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia

Like NY, UFOs breaks India
Like NY, UFOs breaks India
Como en New York, volvieron aparecer las luces de ovnis centellas y esta vez ez en la India
Note peter2011:
These lights remind me of multiple searchlights spinning at a certain frequency and shining into the sky. In the early 90's I experienced the same with a searchlight at a dancing Pharao in Halen, Belgium. It was such a real sight that people called the police and the Belgian Air Force sent 2 F16's to it. The resemblance is striking!
“Shocking images.” “Draw Your Conclusions.” “This is not a joke.”
Those types of headlines are sure to draw in readers and viewers, so the Colombian media sprinkled them liberally in their coverage of a UFO sightings recorded by a popular celebrity and reality show judge – two characteristics that also attracted attention to a video that appeared to be picked up and reported on by multiple media sites. What did César Escola see to earn that much coverage?
“To bother with my new cell phone, I started to record the landing of the two planes, so when I record the second plane, I start to look at the video again, as one normally does to see how it turned out. But there was a moment that my eye, after having worked so long on television, detected something strange and I began to search in slow motion. I want you to give your opinion and draw your own conclusions.” (Google translation)
A re-creation of the UFO sighting?
César Escola is a Colombian-Argentine musician, composer, television presenter and reality show judge on “Yo me llamo” (My name is). He claims that on November 26 he was at the El Dorado International Airport in Bogota waiting for his flight and decided to play with smartphone by recording planes landing. Reviewing the videos, his ‘trained’ eye picked up some blurred motion from right to left, so Escola played with the video speed slowed down. What he saw was not something his ‘trained’ eye could identify, as he posts on Instagram.
“Strange object in El Dorado? Help me understand? I share with you what happened to me yesterday 11/26/21.”
“What will it be?”
“Above all, what the authorities think officers. ” (Google translation)
What will it be? Take a look for yourself here or here (on a network TV show with appropriate music) and “draw your own conclusions.”
Many of the conclusions first point out that César Escola is a multimedia star and currently a judge on a reality show, so he has a lot of products that could benefit from this kind of ‘celebrity UFO’ publicity. The prevailing theory is that Escola’s ‘trained’ eye did not recognize a bug flying through his field-of-view but not in the same focal point as the landing planes. He says he’ll make the video available to “authorities” but he’s a celebrity – why didn’t he rush to the authorities while he was at the airport and have the control tower look at the radar?
For comparison purposes — a bug
Sorry, Cesar … unless you have more evidence, this sounds like an episode of “I’m a Celebrity … Let Me See if I Can Fool the Public With a UFO Video and Get Some Media Face Time.” No joke.
Footprints that were made 3.7 million years ago were initially thought to have been made by an ancient bear, but new analysis has revealed that they were instead made by an ancient human ancestor.
The most famous set of Laetoli footprints were made by adult A. afarensis and discovered in 1978.

Located in Tanzania, Laetoli trackway is a well known site for the thousands of footprints that have been found over the years. There are about 18,400 tracks that have been made by numerous animals that include giraffes, hyenas, and ostriches, as well as ancient hominins that walked on two legs.
Millions of years ago, an ancient ancestor of ours walked on two legs along volcanic ash that eventually turned into rock. These footprints were discovered at Laetoli “Site A” back in 1978. They were initially described as being left by a bear; however, new analysis has completely turned that explanation around.
The new study, which was conducted by Ellison McNutt who is an anthropologist at Ohio University, along with colleagues, compared the prints to those made by bears (Ursus americanus), chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), and humans.
Interestingly, they found that the prints were completely different from others that were made by another hominin species at an area close by. Footprints that were discovered at Sites G and S were left by the Australopithecus afarensis species (“Lucy” belonged to this group). They were made by individuals who were between 111 and 168 centimeters in height.
But the ones made at Site A were made by a smaller individual measuring about 100 centimeters tall – perhaps they were left by a child. In fact, whoever made the footprints is still an unknown hominin species.
The Site A footprints did resemble those left by a bear as they showed a foot that was short but very wide – even the heel was wide. The impression revealed a big toe with a second toe that was almost as long. But the experts were able to rule out bears and chimpanzees as they have heels that are narrower. Additionally, there weren’t any claw marks that would have been left behind if it was a bear.
Another interesting feature was that its big toe pointed out towards the side of the foot which may indicate that the species gripped tree branches with its toes. It also appeared to have a raised ridge which is another characteristic of tree-climbing species. Furthermore, the individual walked in an odd cross-stepping pattern with one leg crossing over the other. The research was published in Naturewhere it can be read in full.

Group Of UFO "Orbs" Sighted Over The South China Sea At 39,000 Feet. November 24, 2021
Sorry guys i told you in the video that this happen on the 11th, That was wrong.
THIS HAPPEN ON THE 24th OF NOVEMBER.
The witness stated the following: "South China sea, 9 lights visible in video, then it becomes 12 lights in formation, closest object disappears then 3 more objects reappear on outside of formation. Filmed at 39,000ft over the South China Sea, lights all then slowly vanish."

Date of sighting: April 2021 Location of sighting:Turkey
Watch as this eyewitness in Turkey records two dark black disks. I say disks because you can actually see them wobble slowly. The dark disks must have been seen by others, because there is all hell breaking loose on the ground with sirens and yelling below. This is 100% proof that UFOs have a high interest in Turkey.

Eyewitness states:
Also, I don't think harp planes etc can rotate around their own axis. confirmed, friends, I can't go into much detail, but we talked to an expert in this field from turkey for 30 minutes on the phone. It could also be the subject of a documentary to be shared with foreign sources, first, I'm sharing it myself for fun. don't take it too seriously believe what you want to believe.
Alien Signals Coming From Colorado Lake, UFO Sighting News.
Alien Signals Coming From Colorado Lake, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Dec 4, 2021 Location of discovery:Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Updated just now: Colorado TV New channel is now talking about it...video below.
This video was recently posted by an employee of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife service on Twitter. The person was baffled by the strange Star War sounds coming from the lake. White sphere UFOs have been recorded and eyewitnesses by thousand of residents of Colorado over the last few years. The signals point to there being an alien base deep below the lake, which amplifies the sounds below due to it being frozen...it acts like an amplifier. Alien bases are never small. Most are 3-6km deep and cover an area of about 5km and even have their own weather system...with chances of rain. This is 100% proof of an alien base below this lake in Colorado. But...if signals can travel up from the alien base, then it would also work to send signals back down to the base. A loud enough speaker placed in a dug out 1 meter deep ice hole at the center of the lake would be sufficient to send them a sonic signal. But...what would you say? In the wrong hands, it could cause an alien military response.
Ever since we started gazing up at the night sky above us and were first aware that there was something out past the planet we live on we have looked to the stars and wondered what lies out there and whether we are alone in the universe. Philosophers, thinkers, and scientists alike throughout history have contemplated this since time unremembered, looking out to the vast sea of stars and pondering what might lie out there. In modern times, the stars themselves have given us strange clues about the nature of the universe, and have even at times hinted at the answer to our question of whether we are alone in the universe, and here are some of the most baffling and bizarre of all.
By far the most well-known weird star that has attracted stories of alien influences is the one called Tabby’s star, also known as Boyajian’s star and occasionally jokingly known as the WTF star. In 2015, scientists noticed unusual fluctuations in the light from a star with the rather dry and scientific sounding name KIC 8462852, located in the constellation Cygnus, about 1,480 light-years from Earth. Mostly it is just a rather ordinary F-type star, meaning it is slightly larger and hotter than our sun, but it would soon turn out that there was something definitely odd going on with this one. When various data collected on the star by NASA’s Kepler space telescope, which is designed to detect exoplanets, astronomer Tabetha “Tabby” Boyajian, of Yale University, noticed that KIC 8462852 would sporadically dim in brightness by up to 22%, with such dips lasting anywhere from a few days to a week and with no obvious explanation. These dimming events did not seem to follow any discernible pattern or rhythm, and were not consistent with what one would expect to see with normal activity such as planets or dust crossing the star.
At the time it was rather bewildering, with no other known example of a star with such a unique and bizarre dimming phenomenon, and astronomers scrambled to try and explain it. Ideas included that it was an uneven ring of dust orbiting the star, fluctuating luminosity caused by uneven heat transfer or cooling of its photosphere, a swarm of disintegrated comet fragments, a field of asteroids, a series of giant planets with very large ring structures, a planetary debris field created by the remnants of a destroyed planet or moon, and others, but none of these fully fit the observed data, and without any other examples there was nothing to compare it to. But why have all of these boring explanations when you can have aliens? Perhaps the most controversial and at the same time fascinating hypothesis is that the dimming phenomenon is caused by some vast megastructure built around the star by an advanced, intelligent alien civilization, and here’s where things get interesting.
The main thrust of this idea is that the star could be surrounded by a hypothetical megastructure called a Dyson sphere, so immense that is partially or completely encompasses the star. First proposed in 1960 by the mathematician and physicist Freeman Dyson, these Dyson spheres would hypothetically be built around a star to harness its energy in order to power the technology and civilization of an extraterrestrial race, and they are theorized as taking the form of either a shell or scaffolding around the star, or globular swarms of giant solar panels orbiting it. Dyson saw this as almost inevitable for any advanced space going civilization, and would write:
One should expect that, within a few thousand years of its entering the stage of industrial development, any intelligent species should be found occupying an artificial biosphere which completely surrounds its parent star.
In this scenario, the dimming could be caused by either the structure passing over the star’s face to block its light, creating the weird dimming, or by blasts of infrared caused by the radiating heat of the energy the aliens did not use, sort of like an energy exhaust port. Although this was just conjecture and really one of the last explanations scientists were entertaining, the media snapped it up and soon Tabby’s Star was all over the news as the star with aliens around it, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) was enamored enough with the idea to make it a prime target for searching for radio signals from aliens. They got no particularly odd signals from there, but considering we are seeing what the star looked like 1,480 years ago perhaps the aliens are just no longer there. After further analysis it is believed that it is likely caused by dust, debris, or the disruption of an orphaned exomoon, although scientists have not fully taken the alien megastructure hypothesis off of the table.
Interestingly, in later years it has turned out that Tabby’s Star is not so completely unique after all, and there have been a few others found with comparable unexplainable dimming patterns and events. One of these is the star KIC 4150611, which also had an odd flickering that hasn’t been explained, as well as the star EPIC 204278916, and the star VVV-WIT-07, with “WIT” amusingly standing for “What is This?”, which has mysteriously dropped up to 80% in brightness at times and has been called a “one in a billion object” by astronomers. More and more of these so-called “dippers” are being found all of the time. Edward Schmidt, an astrophysicist and emeritus professor of astronomy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has extensively studied and mapped such stars, amassing a list of more than a dozen flickering stars like Tabby’s Star. These stars have different patterns and speeds of flickering, with some being “slow dippers” while others are “rapid dippers,” but all are so far beyond any conventional explanation. While Schmidt, like other astronomers, is trying to find rational answers, he has not dismissed the possibility that extraterrestrial intelligences could be to blame, and has said of these mysterious stars:
The thing that surprised me the most were these stars that had so many dips, the ones I called ‘rapid dippers.’ I expected more occasional dips like Boyajian’s star. I intend to try and follow up on the rapid dippers. One thing I noticed about them is that at least one seemed to be slowing way down in its dipping rate over the five years of coverage we have of it. It’d be interesting to find out what happened in its past, which may help give a better idea of what’s going on with these stars. Many explanations for these stars is that something is passing in front of them, but the fact that the stars all fall within a narrow range of properties suggests that may not be it. Extraterrestrial intelligence is a low-probability explanation but it’s a possibility, and the SETI people ought to be looking at these stars.
What is going on with these stars? No one really seems to know for sure. It’s not only changes and anomalies in the brightness of these stars that suggest possible alien activity, but also the spectrum of their chemical elements. In 1960, Polish-Australian astronomer Antoni Przybylski was studying fast-moving stars in southern skies when he saw one that caused him to note “No star should look like that.” The star itself is hotter than our sun, as well as twice the diameter and four times the mass, but what surprised Przybylski was that it harbored a chemical spectrum that seemed to be impossible. Each star has a spectrum that shows the imprint left by its chemical components, and this can be detected with our instruments, but this star had a highly unusual mix of chemicals unlike any other. There were detected strontium and all 15 rare Earth elements, which is not so unusual, but there are also radioactive elements such as neptunium, plutonium, and curium, and the problem is that these radioactive elements should not be there. Jason Wright, a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Pennsylvania State University, has explained of this, “These are all short-lived elements—they have half-lives of as little as a year or so. But the star has been there for millions of years, so the elements should have decayed away.”
So how did this happen? Some of the more rational scientific explanations include that these elements are being pulled up to the surface by magnetic fields and radiation pressure from below, or that they are somehow being bombarded onto the star by some outside cosmic phenomenon. It could also be that the star passed through an interstellar cloud which contained these elements, or that it devoured a planet that had a high concentration of them. Or it could be aliens. That’s more fun, let’s talk about that. There has been speculated the possibility that the presence of these anomalous elements could be because a spacefaring alien civilization is intentionally dumping them there. The hypothesis is that extraterrestrials from one of the star’s planets could be using their sun as a dumping ground for their radioactive waste, simply launching it into the star to dispose of it. The idea itself is not so far-fetched, as even here on Earth the idea of launching nuclear waste into the sun has been proposed occasionally in the past but was considered too expensive and impractical. Perhaps this race has figured out a way to do it, and that is why these elements are present there. Is this an alien garbage dumping ground or is there a more rational explanation? Who knows?
Perhaps even stranger than flickering stars and those with anomalous chemical balances are those stars that just seem to completely disappear for no explainable reason. Throughout historical and contemporary astronomical data, there have been around 100 stars or at least star-like celestial objects that have just sort of vanished without a trace under observation. They are called “red transients” or more colloquially “vanishing stars,” due to the fact that they typically start off as dim red dots, before experiencing a burst of brightness, up to several thousand times their starting luminosity and then completely disappearing as if they were never there. This usually happens within one hour, and it has been completely baffling astronomers.
A team led by Beatriz Villarroel, from Stockholm University and the Institute of Astrophysics of Canarias in Spain, discovered the phenomenon during a search of astronomical records looking for vanishing objects in the night sky in a project called Vanishing & Appearing Sources during a Century of Observations (VASCO). They have been studying the phenomenon of red transients since 2017 and have ruled out the explanations that they are asteroids, fast-moving stars, or stars that have just moved out of view. These are something else, although what that could be is up for debate. The thing is, stars don’t just spontaneously disappear. When a star dies off, it is a long, slow process of turning into a white dwarf star and fizzling out, or exploding into a supernova, which would definitely leave a trace behind. There is nothing to explain how one could just completely vanish without a trace within the space of an hour, and so scientists have been scratching their heads trying to find an answer. Some ideas are that the phenomenon is caused by massive solar flares emanating from red dwarfs, or that they were sucked into a black hole, but yet another explanation has of course been aliens. Villarroel would say in an article in the Astronomical Journal:
Unless a star collapses directly into a black hole, there is no known physical process by which it could physically vanish. If such examples exist this makes it interesting for searches for new exotic phenomena or even signs of technologically advanced civilizations.
Just like in the cases of the other strange stars we have looked at here, the scientists are not eager to embrace the alien theory, but nor can they completely rule it out considering how bizarre and unprecedented the anomalies are. In the extraterrestrial scenario, it is thought that it could be caused by either massive lasers or heat waste from Dyson spheres. It is certainly a strange possibility, but in the absence of any concrete answers it has not been waved away. Nevertheless, the team is trying to eliminate all other possibilities before deciding on the alien hypothesis, and a co-author of their paper on the matter has said, “But we are clear that none of these events have shown any direct signs of being ETI (extraterrestrial intelligence). We believe that they are natural, if somewhat extreme, astrophysical sources.” However, whenever dealing with some new and inexplicable astronomical phenomenon the possibility that it just might be caused by aliens is always eerily hanging in the background. Andrew Siemion, director of the Berkeley SETI Research Center, has explained of the hypothesis of extraterrestrial influence on these phenomena:
It’s a fine line. We have no evidence for technologically capable life anywhere else in the universe. So one doesn’t want to immediately leap to that solution for any newly discovered astronomical phenomenon. But at the same time, one doesn’t want to neglect the possibility that it could be going on.
What is going on with these stars? As we penetrate further out into the cosmos we are encountering more and more weirdness like this all the time, so what could it all mean? Is this just mundane forces that can be explained away with more knowledge? Is it it all just normal forces at work or is there something more to it? Could there possibly be alien intelligences out there that could account for these anomalies? While scientists like to shy away from such answers, they are still hesitant to rule it out, and through these mysterious stars we might just see that the universe could hold deep mysteries that could answer our question on whether we are alone in it all. Time will tell, and in the meantime, these stars keep doing their mysterious dance, in some ways just as impenetrable and inscrutable as they were at the dawn of our consciousness that they even existed at all.
Space Mysteries: Did an unidentified flying object really crash land at a New Mexico ranch in 1947, only to be hushed up by the government?
Did an unidentified flying object really crash land at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico?

There is a spaceship that looks like a flying saucer in Roswell. Thousands of motorists drive past it every day, and hundreds of people go inside. It’s on North Main Street in this southeastern New Mexico city, its metal skin gleaming as it basks in the glow of the sun. Its neon lighting burns into the retinas of those who view it throughout the evening, and it’s rather hard not to admire. After all, aside from its striking looks, who doesn’t fancy a burger every now and then? That’s right: This spacecraft is one of the city’s McDonald’s restaurants.
So why is the building shaped that way? It’s not that far from the site of a mysterious incident which took place in 1947 — the day when a rancher discovered debris scattered around his sheep pasture, prompting speculation that an unidentified flying object, or UFO, had crashed there.
In June, or possibly early July 1947, William Brazel had woken for a normal day’s work on the J.B. Foster ranch in Lincoln County, New Mexico, 75 miles (120 kilometers) north of Roswell, when he made a shocking discovery. He found on the ranch "a large area of bright wreckage made up of rubber strips, tinfoil, a rather tough paper and sticks," Brazel said in an article published on July 8, 1947, in the Roswell Daily Record.
Brazel hadn’t heard of flying saucers — at least not yet. Sightings, however, were coming in thick and fast around that time. On June 24, pilot Kenneth Arnold claimed to see nine unidentified objects "flying like a saucer would across water" near Mount Rainier, Washington. Arnold estimated that the objects were flying at around 1,200 miles per hour (1,930 kilometers per hour), Arnold was reported as saying in the East Oregonian, but at the time there were no known craft that could reach those speeds. The Air Force also said it had no new experimental planes or guided missiles that would fit such a description, according to a U.S. Department of Defense report. That story became front-page news, and the term "flying saucer was born, despite Arnold describing the flying objects as crescent-shape," according to New Scientist.
The country soon became gripped, as Brazel discovered. By July 7, policemen and astronomers were reportedly being harassed for further reports, this time by people from New York and other eastern states, and that was the day Brazel decided to take action. He hand-delivered a box of accumulated debris, which he’d gathered with the help of his wife and two children, to Sheriff George Wilcox of Roswell, according to Smithsonian Magazine.
All About Space magazine takes you on an awe-inspiring journey through our solar system and beyond, from the amazing technology and spacecraft that enables humanity to venture into orbit, to the complexities of space science.
By now there was talk of a reward for anyone who recovered one of these unidentified flying objects. In the Roswell Daily Chronicle, Brazel is stated to have "whispered kinda confidential-like" that his find may be one of the flying disks, so an equally intrigued Wilcox contacted Colonel William Blanchard, the commanding officer of the Roswell Army Air Field (RAAF), who sent agents to the site to gather the remaining material.
What happened next would cement the idea that the debris was the remnants of an alien spacecraft. According to David Clarke’s book "The UFO Files: The Inside Story of Real-Life Sightings", published by Bloomsbury in 2012, the RAAF’s public information officer Walter Haut issued a press release on July 8: "The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disk through the cooperation of one of the local ranchers and the sheriff’s office of Chaves County
This was reported in the Roswell Daily Record along with the news that Major Jesse A. Marcel was the group intelligence officer dispatched to the scene. He’d gone with Counter Intelligence Corps officer Sheridan Cavitt, but on his way back took a detour to his own home, whipped out a couple of boxes of debris that he’d popped into the boot of his car and showed it to his 10-year-old son, Jesse Jr. One of the objects was said to have hieroglyphic-like markings, something that stuck in the mind of the young boy, according to a report in The Guardian.
But just as quickly as excitement of the find gathered pace, the Army took swift action in debunking the story. The very next day, shortly after government scientists began to arrive at the scene, it was claimed that the debris was actually from a crashed weather balloon, and Marcel was asked to be pictured at a press conference with the debris allegedly found. And that was that, case closed — or so everyone thought.
But interest began to grow again. In 1978, Nuclear physicist, author and UFO researcher Stanton Friedman interviewed Marcel, who said that the discovery made 31 years earlier was not from this world, and that the government had ordered him to keep quiet. Friedman revisited the incident and sought other witnesses, and his work inspired Charles Berlitz and William Moore to write "The Roswell Incident", published in 1980. Their conclusion was simple: there had been a huge cover-up.
The flying saucer conspiracy begins
Other things were happening in the world at the time. Notably, the sci-fi films "Star Wars" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" had just been released, and — as reported by The Times — studies since have suggested that sightings and belief in UFOs rise when popular films and TV shows make their debut. Nevertheless, testimonies about that day in 1947 were forthcoming, and they continued to come for many years.
Glenn Dennis called a hotline shortly after an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" featuring the Roswell incident aired in 1989. He suggested that a friend who worked as a nurse at the Roswell Army Air Field saw three alien bodies, according to TIME Magazine. But the real bombshell moment came in 1994. Could it be that the debris really was from an alien craft?
According to the U.S. Air Force, no. The weather balloon story was not true, but it wasn’t to hide the fact that little green men had visited Earth. The wreckage was actually that of a classified project that flew microphones on high-altitude balloons so that sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests could be detected. Called Project Mogul, it was said to have run between 1947 and 1949. What’s more, the balloons were claimed to have been made up of unusual material — the type that could easily be confused for a UFO. So, case closed? Not at all.
"The ever-changing accounts gave rise to uncertainty," Kenneth Drinkwater, senior lecturer in psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University, U.K., who specialises in the anomalous and paranormal, said via email. "The first message that went out was unclear. Then they changed the message, and it led to suspicion that something was going on and being covered up. It gives rise to a feeling that something is being hidden from the general population, leading to speculation of possible conspiracy and possibly alien technology."

It’s why the Roswell files remain open in the eyes of many, and investigators put great value on the testimonies of those who were there, many of them respected military personnel. "Every member of Blanchard’s senior staff, with a single exception, suggested the craft was of alien origin," Kevin D. Randle, a retired lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army Reserve who served in Vietnam and Iraq, told All About Space. "Major Edwin Easley, the base provost marshal, told me, when asked if we were following the right path — meaning extraterrestrial — that it wasn’t the wrong path."
The "single exception" is Cavitt, the retired lieutenant colonel of the Air Force who accompanied Marcel to the debris site. His careful testimony suggested that nothing untoward happened. He said he had never been threatened by anyone in government and that the debris wasn’t extensively scattered. Yet UFO investigators say that if the wreckage was Project Mogul, then this testimony doesn’t ring true. Mogul arrays were big, so the debris field would have been large.
"Everyone agrees that something fell at Roswell, but there is no terrestrial explanation," Randle told All About Space. "Project Mogul fails because the documentation tells us that flight number four — the alleged culprit — was cancelled. It did not fly. All other explanations have failed too: It wasn’t an aircraft accident, not a rocket from White Sands and not a regular weather balloon."
Over the past 40 or so years there have been new claims and fresh leads, adding to the mystery and keeping the Roswell files very much alive. UFO investigator Calvin Parker, for example, recently spoke of his time with Marcel before he died in 1986, claiming that Marcel revealed that he’d hidden three pieces of metal from the crash site in the top of his water heater in his house. They have never been recovered, however.
Many UFO investigators are keen to stress that they don’t take every testimony at face value. Randle previously said that the credibility of Dennis must be discounted because of inconsistencies, and told All About Space that the accounts of military personnel are not simply accepted just because of their background. "There are some military witnesses who have been discredited as inserting themselves into the tale," Randle wrote via email. Likewise, there are civilian witnesses who are compelling.
"There are some very creditable civilian witnesses, such as Brazel and Frankie Rowe," said Randle. Rowe is certainly an interesting case. She was told of the crash by her father, a firefighter, who described creatures he had seen. According to Randle, Rowe said she was shown debris from the crash site, but had been told to stay quiet by the state. She says there was evidence her phone had been tapped. But of all of the witnesses, is too much weight being put on Marcel’s account?

"If Marcel was standalone then there would be some real problems here, but he is not. There are many credible witnesses — men who achieved high military rank, men and women who were prominent in their communities — who believe the craft was alien,” Randle said. "We have attempted to eliminate the fakers from those who had information to provide. We have been taken in, for a time, by some of those fakers, but in the long run it was we who investigated the case that removed many of those fakers, though based on evidence and not a belief there is no alien visitation. The point is that Marcel was backed up by other high-ranking officers, and many civilians who were part of the case. Marcel told what he had seen and done, and there was little embellishment in his testimony."
Randle appeared in the documentary, "Roswell: The First Witness". It follows the investigations of former CIA operative Ben Smith into Roswell, and a key part of the series is a journal found in Marcel’s possessions that was initially thought to have been written by him.
Speculation continues: Was the craft of alien origin?
It turned out that the journal — which consisted of quotes, lyrics and jokes — could be dated to the time of the Roswell incident, but the handwriting didn’t match Marcel’s. Smith pondered why the former army officer retained the journal, and there was speculation over whether it may have contained a code. If it did, however, it could not be deciphered by even the best of minds, according to the documentary.
Smith also sought to discover what was written in a document held by Brigadier General Roger Ramey, Eighth Air Force commander, during the press conference. It was captured in a photograph taken by Star-Telegram reporter J. Bond Johnson, and ufologists have long wondered whether the words they struggle to make out refer to "victims of the wreck." As Smith found, however, even the best technology could not sufficiently clean the document enough to make the words readable, and they remain a source of debate.
There were other interesting explorations in the documentary series. A body-language expert examined video interviews of Marcel and said it appeared that he was telling the truth, at least as he saw it. Experts including aviation crash investigator David Soucie were also taken to examine the crash site. Interestingly, the wind currents in the area were found to be inconsistent with a lightweight balloon crashing in the way that was described.
As the documentary continued, more evidence emerged. Crucially, there was a taped interview conversation between Marcel and author Linda G. Corley in which the military man discussed the items he found in 1947. "I found all this stuff and I was told to keep my mouth shut,” he told her. “I held on to this premium for 32 years without saying anything at all. See, I was an intelligence officer. I handled intelligence and security for the base. I still hold an allegiance to my country, the vow that I took to keep my mouth shut about everything that might encroach on military secrets."
Just as compelling was an account from the family of Patrick Saunders, the 509th adjutant who is likely to have known about the whole event. He had apparently told people that it wasn’t a weather balloon, but something similar to a jet fighter, that files were destroyed or changed and that the world wasn’t ready for the truth because it would cause social upheaval. Were the "beings" friendly, he was said to have pondered.

This kind of testimony — particularly the first-hand testimony of Marcel that was chronicled in Corley’s book, “For the Sake of My Country” — ensures the incident remains open. The fact the US government admitted there was a cover-up in 1994 only continues to add fuel to the fire.
Yet Drinkwater says failure to provide physical evidence means anecdotal accounts have spread misinformation, and he remains in doubt. "Colonel John B. Alexander offers an excellent insight into the myths and possible conspiracies connected to UFOs, the Roswell incident, the government involvement and so on," he said. "I think it’s more about a sense of reality and how it can be swayed emotionally. I’m dubious about the nature of a secret operation where many might not have known about the goings on at their level."
So what of those who likely know: presidents past and present, perhaps? Former president Donald Trump told his son Don Jr. in an interview on YouTube in June 2020 that he’d heard some "interesting things" about aliens, thereby ensuring speculation will continue for some while yet.
"Would you ever open up Roswell and let us know what’s really going on," Don Jr. asked, to which Trump responded: "There are millions and millions of people who want to go there and want to see it. I won’t talk to you about what I know about it, but it’s very interesting."
That’s something countless people will no doubt chew over if they happen to visit and find themselves in that extraordinary McDonald’s. Roswell is a town that will be forever linked to one of the greatest mysteries of all time, and we may never truly reach a consensus on the truth that is out there.
In relation to the question I have posed at the top of this article, it’s not as easy as you might think. The biggest problem is that apart from aone-page FBI document on the Roswell case from 1947, there is nothing else to be seen or found in government archives. No documents. No files. No dossiers at the National Archives that we can read. Nothing. There are only (a) the memories of the families of the people who were at the site and at the time, and (b) the words of the very few who are still alive, and (c) the handful of military personnel who are just about hanging on. Despite several investigations into the Roswell affair in the 1990s (two by the U.S. Air Force and one by what used to be called the General Accounting Office, and what is now titled the Government Accountability Office), nothing appeared of substance. Just about everyone who has an interest in UFOs will know that back in the summer of 1947, something crashed to Earth outside of Roswell, New Mexico. The object was first described as a “Flying Disk,” and a day after that as nothing stranger than a weather-balloon. And that’s where things stopped and were largely forgotten until Bill Moore and Stan Friedman resurrected the mysterious affair in the mid-1970s. And, although a great deal of testimony is now on file, we still haven’t found a single, solid piece of anything; whether photos of dead bodies, old files or…well…anything.
Now, many might say that the reason why we haven’t been able to penetrate the secret of Roswell is because the U.S. Air Force has it all hidden away. However, I don’t believe that, at all. You’ll see what I mean by that. When, in the 1990s, the Air Force began to take a new look at Roswell, it worded its reports very carefully. I’ll explain that. Despite what many UFO researchers have said, the Air Force never stated that the answer to Roswell was a Top Secret, huge “Mogul” balloon designed to monitor for Russian atomic bomb-tests. What the Air Force actually said was that they suspected that the “Mogul” theory was probably the correct picture. It was very much the same when, in 1997, (the 50th anniversary of the incident), the Air Force brought out its “crash-test dummy” report that suggested that the “alien bodies” found not too far from Roswell in ’47 were really nothing but mannequins used in high-altitude flights. It’s important to note that the Air Force never said that the crash-test dummy theory was the answer. Rather, the Air Force said, the “dummy” angle was the likely answer. In other words, the Air Force came up with two theories. And that’s what they were: theories. But, not hard facts. Even the Air Force admitted that.
(Nick Redfern)
Crash-Test Dummies at Roswell? No.
If you read those two, aforementioned Air Force reports – along with the GAO report – and you read them carefully, you’ll see that the Air Force made it clear (albeit briefly) that there was no hard evidence to prove that the Mogul and dummy theories provided definitive answers. Now, some Ufologists might say that the Air Force was lying when they reeled out their 1990s-era reports; that the Air Force was hiding the alien truth. But, I don’t think the Air Force was lying. Not even in the slightest. In my opinion, the Air Force of the 1990s was completely out of the loop of Roswell. As was the GAO team. It may sound strange to suggest that the U.S. Force of the 1990s was not given access to the real story, whatever it was/is. But, such a thing is quite plausible. And, it all revolves around the issue of what are known in the U.S. government as Special Access Programs. Or, SAPs. It is within the domain of SAPs that secrecy so often resides. And, it’s highly likely that the truth of Roswell is hidden deep within the heart of a SAP that has overseen the Roswell puzzle for decades. In essence, Special Access Programs are highly classified projects that are buried so deeply that not even the U.S. Congress knows much about them – if, indeed, anything at all. There is another important issue to note when it comes to Special Access Programs: just because a person may have a Top Secret clearance, it does not mean that he or she automatically has the “magic key” that opens just about every door in government, every secure facility, and every well-guarded underground bunker. In fact, quite the opposite is the case. On the matter of Special Access Programs, the concept of “need to know” is as significant as one’s level of security clearance.
(Nick Redfern)
Out at the Roswell Crash Site
Let’s say that, purely hypothetically, there is still a secret Special Access Program that is sitting on the smoking-gun that would reveal the full story of the November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. “John Smith” and “Bill Jones” may both have Top Secret clearances. Smith is tasked with hiding the truth of the death of the president. Jones, however, is an expert in North Korea’s plans to develop and deploy nuclear weapons. There would be no need for Jones to have access to the JFK-themed Special Access Program because it has no bearing on his work and expertise in the field of North Korea’s military. That both men have identical security clearances has no bearing, at all, when it comes to SAPs. In fact, it is wholly irrelevant. It all comes down to what a person needs to know to do their job, or, more specifically, what they don’t need to know. That is the way in which secrets are kept. In other words, the control that oversees what we can know, and what we can’t be told, doesn’t just apply to the public and the media. It also applies to the government itself.
In conclusion, and incredibly, what all of this means is that, just like us in the UFO research field, the U.S. Air Force has been denied access to the history, to the files, to the documents, to the photos, to the recovered whatever-it-was that crashed, and to the remains of the bodies. And, as a result, the Air Force – denied from being briefed on the real story and not given any access to the “Roswell Special Access Program”- did its very best by coming up with the Mogul and crash-dummy scenarios.

UFO Fleet Over Hong Kong, China 11-24-2021, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Nov 24, 2021

Watch as a UFO fleet was caught over Honk Kong this week. The person was on a plane over the South China Sea when they noticed some lights that glow white and seemed to multiply and then disappear. Caught between Taiwan and Hong Kong, this demonstration of power by aliens is clearly a sign meant for the military powers of the world patrolling those seas to view. These UFOs are watching to see what China and other military ships do. Taiwan is just 45 min by plane from Hong Kong and would take only 6 minutes in a fighter jet. Hopefully, aliens are not predicting a Taiwan takeover to happen this coming week. o_O

Eyewitness states:
South China sea, 9 lights visible in video, then it becomes 12 lights in formation, closest object disappears then 3 more objects reappear on outside of formation. Filmed at 39,000ft over the South China Sea, lights all then slowly vanish.
This crashed UFO was found in a Mars photo this week. The UFO is in the shape of a thin disk and as it crashed it made a long canyon behind it, cut into the Mars surface. The UFO itself is half visible with the other half buried under the Mars dirt. Clearly this UFO was moving fast when it crashed, which tells me it had no way of slowing down except using the surface of the planet itself. That means the UFO was so severely damaged that its pilot had no other choice other than crash landing. Even alien craft have flaws. The UFO measures about 15 meters across.

American actor Woody Harrelson posted a photo this morning from Winnipeg while getting ready for shooting scenes from a movie. He noticed a round circular pattern in the sky above and the center of the circle pushing some of the clouds downward. Its a well known fact among UFO researchers that UFOs can punch holes in clouds, ever since the monumental O'hare Airport UFO incident where a UFO was over the runway for 15 minutes obstructing air traffic and then suddenly shot straight up, thought the cloud ceiling punching a hole in it that remained for almost ten minutes. Based on previous UFO reports and documentation...this is such an incident. The UFO cam from above and settled within the clouds, displacing the smoke and pushing it away, leaving a footprint of sorts. One edge of circle has clouds pushed deeper which means the craft was thicker on that section of the UFO. See...even famous Hollywood stars know that intelligent life does exist out there.

Astronomers readily admit that black holes are hard to find – even the supermassive ones. Knowing that most galaxies have a supermassive black hole in their center helps, but some that formed when two galaxies collided should have a pair of supermassive black holes that gravitate together in a gravitational hug. That was the case with the galaxy NGC 7727, in the constellation Aquarius, whose peculiar irregular shape indicated a collision, but it was only recently that astronomers using the using the European Southern Observatory (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) discovered its two supermassive black holes … and were immediately in a frenzy when they realized they were the closest pair of supermassive black holes to Earth ever detected and so close to each other that their hug looks more like a dance of death.
“The small separation and velocity of the two black holes indicate that they will merge into one monster black hole, probably within the next 250 million years.”
That’s the blink of a cosmic eye, according to Holger Baumgardt, a professor at the University of Queensland and co-author of a study published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics which announced the discovery of two tightly joined supermassive black holes just 89 million light-years from Earth and only 1600 light-years apart – dead-center in the galaxy GC 7727. The larger one has a mass almost 154 million solar masses, while the smaller is 6.3 million solar masses. Together, they affect the motion of the stars around them and that’s how Karina Voggel, an astronomer at the Strasbourg Observatory in France and lead author of the study, found them.
“Our finding implies that there might be many more of these relics of galaxy mergers out there and they may contain many hidden massive black holes that still wait to be found. It could increase the total number of supermassive black holes known in the local Universe by 30 percent.”
One of them might be NGC 7252, a neighbor of NGC 7727 in the Aquarius constellation located 220 million light years away that may have two supermassive black holes or one intermediate-mass black hole. These merged galaxies are generally extremely old and can help understand the early days of the universe when they were two separate galaxies.
And then there was one.
Sadly, we also know the not-too-distant future of these dancing supermassive black holes – a supermassive collision resulting in one survivor … possibly a mysterious intermediate black hole which astronomers suspect are the result of such mergers. While it’s only 250 million years away, we’re going to miss it.
Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), astronomers have revealed the closest pair of supermassive black holes to Earth ever observed. The two objects also have a much smaller separation than any other previously spotted pair of supermassive black holes and will eventually merge into one giant black hole.

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover took this 360-degree selfie using the Mars Hand Lens Imager, or MAHLI, at the end of its robotic arm. The selfie comprises 81 individual images taken on Nov. 20, 2021 – the 3,303rd Martian day, or sol, of the mission.
The rock structure behind the rover is “Greenheugh Pediment”; the hill that is middle distance on the right, is “Rafael Navarro Mountain.” Curiosity is headed toward “Maria Gordon Notch,” the U-shaped opening behind the rover to the left.
Also included here is Figure 2, a cropped version of the selfie.

Astronauts who visit the International Space Station undergo rigorous training to deal with a myriad of emergency situations. Those situations include tiny leaks in the ISS, malfunctions in attached space capsules that cause the ISS to spin, space debris from a satellite weapons experiment in such concentrations that the ISS must be moved and spacewalks canceled. All of those are real situations that were caused since 2018 by cosmonauts, Roscosmos or Russian space contractors, so it would have been more appropriate for the Russian cosmonauts or space agency to deal with them. That has not been the case – instead, the problems were denied or dismissed … until now. Russian state media reports that Roscosmos finally completed its investigation of the ISS leak, which began in 2018, and has turned it over to the police. Wait … what? Why?
If you want to serve those papers … you have to come out here.
“The Izvestia newspaper reported earlier on Friday, citing sources, that the reason behind the hole could have been NASA astronaut Serena Maria Aunon-Chancellor’s desire to return to Earth because of a blood clot or a fight with her boyfriend onboard the International Space Station (ISS). A source told TASS earlier that the hole had been drilled in weightlessness by a person not acquainted with the spaceship’s design.”
The Russian news agency TASS reports that the leak was the result of multiple sabotage drilling attempts – one which was successful – by NASA astronaut Serena Maria Aunon-Chancellor, who was either suffering physically from a blood clot or having “an acute psychological crisis” from a botched romantic affair with another crew member (she married to someone else) and decided to create a situation that would result in her being returned to Earth. The investigators claim the hole and attempted holes were made by someone unfamiliar with how to drill while weightless. While the Russians recently sent a crew to the ISS to film an action movie, this sounds more like a plot for a space soap opera.
“These attacks are false and lack any credibility. I fully support Serena and stand behind all of our astronauts.”
In an interview with Ars Technica, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson defended astronaut Aunon-Chancellor with evidence that NASA identified the location of every one of its astronauts on the ISS when the leak first registered on monitoring instruments and none were anywhere near it on the Russian side. A different investigation suggested the hole was made by a Russian contractor – either by accident or to sabotage the station – but Roscosmos has never accepted that explanation.
As expected, NASA officials suspect this is yet another deflection by the Russian space agency to take attention away from the recent destruction of a satellite by a missile, which resulted in debris causing the need to move the ISS out of danger and later cancel a spacewalk. It seems petty to turn this accusation over to the Russian police rather than deal with it NASA-to-Roscosmos … perhaps this is a sign things are far worse between them and on the ISS than we’ve been led to believe. While Roscosmos has threatened to build its own station or move to China’s, it continues to invest in new modules for the current one.
It’s still working good for us.
So far, there appears to be no comments from Serena Maria Aunon-Chancellor or the other five crew members on the ISS when the leak occurred – a group that includes the potential ex-boyfriend and the only eyewitnesses to whatever might have happened.
‘As the World Turns Under the ISS’ – sounds like the perfect name for the first space soap opera.
For most researchers of the Chupacabra phenomenon, the whole thing began on August 1995. That was when a woman named Madelyne Tolentino – who lived in Canovanas, which is close to the northeast coast of Puerto Rico – changed everything. Tolentino’s description of the creature she encountered, close to her mother’s home, was disturbing, to say the very least. It was a description eagerly embraced by the island’s media and by investigators of monsters and mysteries. Tolentino told journalists and researchers that the creature was around three feet in height, bipedal, ran in a weird, hopping fashion, had large black eyes, bony fingers on each hand, overly long arms and legs, and a kind of feathery line running down its back. Or, it appeared to Tolentino to be a feathery line: a young boy employed by Tolentino’s husband claimed that he saw the beast up close and personal and maintained that the feathers were, in reality, sharp spines. The boy also said that the creature possessed a mouthful of vicious-looking fangs. Not only did the people know of the chupacabra and its predations, they also now knew what it looked like: something straight out of their worst nightmares. As the years progressed, so did the attacks. There is, however, something else: there is evidence that the creatures were roaming around Puerto Rico decades before. Let’s have a look at the data.
(Nick Redfern)
Puerto Rico: The lair of the Chupacabra
In September 1959, a groundbreaking paper was published by the acclaimed scientific journal, Nature. Its title was: Searching for Interstellar Communications. The authors were two physicists, Phillip Morrison and Giuseppe Conconi, both of Cornell University. In essence, the paper was a study of how microwaves might be successfully used to seek out alien intelligences, in other parts of the Universe. It had a great effect on one Frank Drake – a man who, after having carefully read the report, embarked on a life and career to search the Universe for aliens. Drake began his work at the West Virginia-based Green Bank National Radio Astronomy Observatory. He was, without doubt, the star of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) conference that was held at the observatory in October 1961. Drake ultimately gravitated to Puerto Rico, home to the Arecibo Radio Telescope, of which he became the director.

Puerto Rico’s amazing El Yunque Rainforest
Midway through the 1960s, something decidedly strange happened at the telescope, something that may well have a direct bearing upon the chupacabra phenomenon. A guard reported, one day, seeing a curious character roaming around the edge of the installation. What made the man – if a man it was – so curious was his attire: a long, black cloak. The guard, apparently, had his own ideas on what he was seeing: one of the undead; a vampire. A report on the affair was prepared for Drake’s attention. That was far from being the end of the matter, however. Forty-eight hours after the sighting, Drake said: “I really was forced to look into it…because a cow was found dead on a nearby farm, with all the blood drained from its body. The vampire rumor had already spread through the observatory staff, and now the cow incident whipped the fears of many people into a frenzy.” Agree with me or not, this sounds very much like an encounter with a Chupacabra: the blood angle, and the attack on the animal. Now, let’s have a look at 1975. That was when a creature that became known as the Moca Vampire surfaced.
(Nick Redfern)
Searching for the Chupacabra/Vampire of Moca
Noted for its fruit industry and cattle-farming, Moca is a cool place, filled with old and atmospheric buildings and surrounded by amazing forestland and green hills. The municipality was, back in the mid-1970s, home to something else, too: the Moca Vampire. It was a most apt title for a creature that caused brief havoc and mayhem in March 1975. Pigs, goats, chickens, geese, cattle, and even pets were found violently slaughtered, and specifically in the Barrio Rocha suburb of Moca. I know this, as not just the guys on the crew, but numerous locals in Moca itself too, were happy to reveal all during the course of my first excursion to the island. The bodies of the dead animals were quickly collected by the authorities and were subjected to necropsy, which was said to have demonstrated that at least some of them had been drained of notable amounts of blood. The people of the area, hardly surprisingly, were plunged into states of fear and anxiety. Children were kept indoors at night. Armed police patrolled the streets after sunset. Matters came to a horrific climax when the monster turned its attention away from animals and towards the human population. Thankfully, the beast left the island’s animals alone, too.
What all of this tells us is that the Chupacabra is not a creature that first surfaced in 1995. It has been here for a very long time. Longer than most people suspect. The creatures are one and the same. It is just the names that have changed.

Large asteroid stronger than nuke heading towards Earth late December
A large asteroid the size of the Washington Monument is heading for Earth in late December that, if it impacts, would cause devastation far greater than an atomic bomb, according to NASA’s asteroid tracker.
Known as 2018 AH, this asteroid is estimated to range around 190 meters in size and is set to pass by the Earth on December 27.
The asteroid is unlikely to hit the planet, however, and is set to pass by at a distance of over 4.5 million kilometers away. For comparison, the distance between the Earth and the Moon is around 384,000 kilometers.
But this asteroid has come by Earth before – and at a much closer distance.
Back in 2018, 2018 AH flew past the planet the planet at a distance of 296,758 kilometers, closer than the Moon is to Earth. It had gone unnoticed due to how dim it was, and scientists didn’t properly see it coming.

Since that time, no asteroid of such size has come so close to the Earth before, and none are ever expected to until 2028, when the massive nearly kilometer-long 153814 (2001 WN5) will arrive, though it won’t hit the planet either and is set to pass at a distance of around 249,000 kilometers.
But what would happen if an asteroid the size of 2018 AH struck the Earth?
Ordinarily, it can be difficult to accurately guess, as size often varies. But in this case, astronomers happen to have a very good idea of exactly how destructive it would be, because something like this happened before.
'HUGE' MH370 breakthrough: Wreck pinpointed 4km deep in Indian Ocean, engineer claims
'HUGE' MH370 breakthrough: Wreck pinpointed 4km deep in Indian Ocean, engineer claims
New tracking technology may have finally solved the mystery of flight MH-370 which disappeared 7-and-a-half years ago
British aerospace engineer, Richard Godfrey has spent the last 9 months using new tracking technology known as 'weak signal propagation' combined with data from the satellite communications system onboard MH370 to track the missing plane’s doomed final flight.
“Together the two systems can be used to detect, identify and localize MH370 during its flight path into the Southern Indian Ocean,” he said to 7news.
According to his report, the aircraft crashed about a minute after the final satellite link-up at 8.19am over the Indian Ocean.
He claims to have pinpointed the precise coordinates where Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crashed and dropped to the bottom of the southern Indian Ocean, injecting new hope the plane will be found.
He believes the wreckage is 1,900 kilometers west of Perth, lying at a depth of 4-thousand meters, allowing experts to hone in on a more specific underwater search. It's been 7-and-a-half years since the Malaysia Airlines flight vanished with 239 people on board.
Part of Earth’s Water Came from the Sun, New Study Suggests
Part of Earth’s Water Came from the Sun, New Study Suggests
The solar wind, comprised of solar particles largely made of hydrogen ions, created water on the surface of dust grains carried on asteroids that smashed into the early Earth, according to a paper published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
Daly et al. used atom probe tomography to directly observe an average ~1 mol% enrichment in water and hydroxyls in the solar-wind-irradiated rim of an olivine grain from the S-type asteroid Itokawa. Image credit: Curtin University.
“The Earth was very water-rich compared to other rocky planets in the Solar System, with oceans covering more than 70% of its surface, and scientists had long puzzled over the exact source of it all,” said Professor Phil Bland, director of the Space Science and Technology Centre at Curtin University.
“An existing theory is that water was carried to Earth in the final stages of its formation on C-type asteroids, however previous testing of the isotopic ‘fingerprint’ of these asteroids found they, on average, didn’t match with the water found on Earth meaning there was at least one other unaccounted for source.”
“Our research suggests the solar wind created water on the surface of tiny dust grains and this isotopically lighter water likely provided the remainder of the Earth’s water.”
Using atom probe tomography, Professor Bland and colleagues analyzed an olivine grain from the S-type near-Earth asteroid Itokawa, samples of which were collected by JAXA’s Hayabusa spacecraft and returned to Earth in 2010.
“Our world-class atom probe tomography system allowed us to take an incredibly detailed look inside the first 50 nm or so of the surface of Itokawa dust grains, which we found contained enough water that, if scaled up, would amount to about 20 liters for every m3 of rock,” Professor Bland said.
“It’s the kind of measurement that simply would not have been possible without this remarkable technology,” said Professor Michelle Thompson, a researcher in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University.
“It gives us an extraordinary insight into how tiny dust particles floating in space might help us balance the books on the isotopic composition of the Earth’s water, and give us new clues to help solve the mystery of its origins.”
“Our research not only gives scientists a remarkable insight into the past source of Earth’s water, but could also help future space missions,” said Dr. Luke Daly, a researcher in the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences at the University of Glasgow.
“How astronauts would get sufficient water, without carrying supplies, is one of the barriers of future space exploration.”
“Our research shows that the same space weathering process which created water on Itokawa likely occurred on other airless planets, meaning astronauts may be able to process fresh supplies of water straight from the dust on a planet’s surface, such as the Moon.”

Is the Canadian government covering up sightings of UFOs?
Some documents suggest that’s the case.
Previously classified “event logs” were acquired by Motherboard under Canada’s Access to Information Act.
They describe sightings of unidentified flying objects by pilots to air traffic controllers and how fighter jets were scrambled to check out some of the objects, only to see them disappear from radar.
Ex-Royal Canadian Air Force pilot Jock Williams, a 36-year-veteran, said the reports were buried.
“Somebody throws it out. Nobody cares,” Williams told Motherboard.
“I don’t see any evidence that there’s any kind of in-depth look being taken at any of this kind of stuff, which means that nobody attaches any importance to it.
“You have evidence of the fact that they’re aware of this kind of stuff; at the same time, you have evidence of the fact that nothing is happening,” he said.
Williams would like to see action.
“These guys are getting paid one way or the other. They might as well be investigating,” he said.
The reports included an Air Canada Jazz pilot saying he saw “three red lights 3,000 feet above him and going slower,” a WestJet pilot “reported a very bright light pass overhead of them” when there was “no other traffic in the area” and a Qatar Airways flight reporting a “UFO” over western Alberta, amongst other things.
A Pentagon report on UFOs was released in June and warned they could potentially be a threat to the U.S. and alien origin could not be ruled out.

The Mysterious UAP Encounter by Jessie Roestenberg,1954, in Staffordshire, England
⇩⇩ READ THE DESCRIPTION ⇩⇩ ----------------------------------------------------------
This video was banned from airing on TV in the UK starting in the late 60’s. On October 21st, 1954 in West Midlands (Staffordshire), England, Jessie Roestenberg, then aged 29 and her two children, witnessed an object flying overhead then hovering over her house.
She described the event as "Two Blondes" in a "Mexican-Hat" like craft. They also saw two humanoid figures with blond/golden hair staring down at them. She described them as very beautiful with beautiful faces. Many believe this were "Pleiadians". Also known as Nordic aliens, are humanoid aliens that come from the stellar systems surrounding the Pleiades stars, and they're really really really concerned about Earth and our future.
The year is 1955, the place, at Broadlands Estates, near Romsey, Hampshire, England. The witness was incapacitated by the UFO and it flew away at great speed. It appears that something extraordinary occurred during this event. There were no known aircraft that could silently hover and fly away at great speed during 1955.
During a cold February evening in 2016, a bewildering incident would transpire on the outskirts of Cardiff, which would in time go on to become known as the ‘Welsh Roswell Incident’. Did the British military genuinely ambush a UFO in the Welsh valleys, or was this instead a misunderstanding of more earthly events? Join us, as we delve into The Mysterious Pentyrch Incident.

Dr. Gregory L. Little: The Incredible Edgar Cayce & The Atlantis Readings
Dr. Gregory L. Little is a psychologist turned explorer and documentary maker. Since 2003, Greg and his wife Lora have been actively searching the Bahamas for archaeological ruins that might be linked to Atlantis, working with the Edgar Cayce organization in its Search For Atlantis Project. Along with archaeologist Bill Donato, the Littles have conducted wide explorations around Bimini, Andros, and the Great Bahama Bank. Their explorations have been featured on The National Geographic Channel, The Learning Channel, MSNBC, Sci-Fi, Discovery, and The History Channel. Greg is coauthor of the books, Edgar Cayce’s Atlantis, Mound Builders, Ancient South America, and People of the Web and has over 30 other books in print in various areas of psychology.
The Edgar Cayce story is one of the most compelling in inspirational literature. For more than forty years, the “Sleeping Prophet” closed his eyes, entered into an altered state of consciousness, and spoke to the very heart and spirit of humankind on subjects such as health, healing, dreams, prophecy, meditation, and reincarnation. His more than 14,000 readings are preserved at the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc., in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
The success of Edgar Cayce’s remote healing led us to accept his other claims about the mystical nature of human life, reincarnation, etc.

Archaeologists Discover 800-year-old Rope-bound Mummy in Peru
Archaeologists Discover 800-year-old Rope-bound Mummy in Peru
A preserved rope-bound mummy, estimated to be at least 800 years old, has been discovered in an underground tomb by archaeologists on Peru’s central coast. The mummified remains, which are in excellent condition, were found at the Cajamarquilla archaeological site about 15 miles (24 kilometers) inland from Lima. The rope-bound mummy was from the culture that developed between the coast and mountains of Peru, according to archaeologist Pieter Van Dalen Luna from the State University of San Marcos, as reported in the Guardian. The mummy is likely from the Chaclla culture, which developed in the high Andes around Lima between 1200 and 800 years ago.
“The main characteristic of the mummy is that the whole body was tied up by ropes and with the hands covering the face, which would be part of the local funeral pattern…. Radiocarbon dating will give a more precise chronology,” said archaeologist Pieter Van Dalen Luna, from the State University of San Marcos, Peru ( UNMSM) to Reuters. He added that the remains are believed to be of a person who lived in the high Andean region of the country, according to the Independent.

Mummification was practiced by several indigenous cultures of the Andes region beginning as far back as 7000 years ago. The Chinchorro people, who lived in what is now Peru and Chile, were the world’s first practitioners of mummification, thousands of years before the Egyptians. Preserving the bodies of their loved ones allowed the living to retain a link with the dead.
What is fascinating is that Peruvian mummies were not just interred and left to get on with their afterlife. Some people kept mummies in their homes or brought them to festivals and they were often involved in ceremonies such as marriages, sowing, and harvesting. In some cultures, the people brought offerings of food or drink to their loved ones’ graves. Considered a link between the living and the gods, these mummies could also be taken from their resting place and “consulted” on important occasions.
Many different cultures lived in the Andean region and their treatment of the dead varied considerably, ranging from natural to assisted mummification. Preservation of the body could be achieved by desiccation or freeze-drying, processes helped by the natural climatic conditions in desert and mountainous areas found all over the Andean region. Bodies could also be treated and preserved using alcohol (from chicha maize beer). Early Andean cultures also used salt as a preservative and often removed the flesh and bodily fluids from the corpse prior to burial.
Mummies were typically placed in the fetal position and wrapped into bundles using several layers of textiles, bound with cords, and sometimes a head cloth was added. Important individuals were clothed and wrapped in high-quality fabrics and jewelry. The dead person’s possessions were interred along with their owner, sometimes along with the tools of their profession.
A closeup of the rope-bound mummy found at the Cajamarquilla archaeological site not far from Lima, Peru.
While the Cajamarquilla rope-bound mummy’s gender has not precisely been identified, it appears to be an adult male. It was found in an underground chamber tomb placed in the fetal position and bound with ropes that kept the mummy in a tight crouch for over 1,200 years. It was buried with offerings including ceramics, stone tools, and gourds containing vegetable remains.
The ancient site of Cajamarquilla, where the rope-bound mummy was discovered, was situated along a trade route linking the high Andes to urban settlements on the coast. It became an important center of commerce in the Late Intermediate Period (1000 – 1470), which was a time between empires in the Andes when many regional groups reorganized and gained power. Its prosperity was reflected in its large public buildings, boulevards, and squares.
Both the fetal position and rope-binding were funerary practices common among the late pre-Hispanic peoples of the high Andes. The mummy therefore shows that Cajamarquilla was inhabited not just by coastal peoples from the immediate area, but also by people of Andean origin from the mountains. Possibly, its importance as a trading center linking the coast to the mountains, resulted in people from the Andes settling there as well.
Peruvian mummies along with their grave goods have helped archaeologists greatly in extending their understanding of pre-Hispanic indigenous Andean cultures. Detailed examinations of the most recent find are sure to add to this understanding.

Archaeologists in Peru unearthed an ancient mummy that dates back between 800 and 1,200 years. What’s so unusual about this mummy is that it was bound with rope with the hands covering the face.
The team was very surprised that they found a mummy during their excavations as explained by archeologist Yomira Huamán Santillán in an interview with CNN, “The whole team was really happy because we didn’t think this was going to happen,” adding, “We didn’t expect to make such an important discovery.”
The preserved body was found by researchers from the National University of San Marcos. It was located underneath the middle of a town square at an archaeological site called Cajamarquilla which is near the capital of Lima.
(Not the mummy mentioned in this article.)
The mummy was probably a man between the ages of 25 and 30, although that hasn’t been confirmed as of yet. He may have come from the mountains of Cajamarquilla where it was once a busy commercial center during the pre-Columbian times.
The fact that he was tied up with rope and his hands were covering his face was actually a funeral custom in the southern part of Peru. Pieter Van Dalen Luna, who is one of the archeologists who led the excavation, stated, “The discovery of this resident sheds a new light on interactions and relationships in pre-Hispanic times.”
In addition to the mummy, the researchers found numerous marine mollusks outside of the tomb which was quite odd as the site is approximately 25 kilometers (15.5 miles) away from the coast. They even recovered llama bones there as well. But Van Dalen Luna believes that it was the individual’s descendants who placed the items and different offerings (such as food) there throughout the years.
Based on the items found at the site, it is believed that this person was very important during that time and perhaps a significant trader. “The fact of finding a mummy with these characteristics in the middle of the plaza makes it clear that this is someone of high status,” said Van Dalen Luna.
Their next job is to analyze the mummy in further detail in order to gather more information regarding the individual, such as radiocarbon dating to narrow down a more precise time when he was alive.
A news report about the discovery can be viewed here and pictures of the mummy can be seen here.
Archaeologists believe that the remains are of a man aged 18-22 at the time of his death
In the past year, we have seen the U.S. government and its Department of Defense appear to get serious about unidentified aerial phenomena. We have seen the newest branch of the U.S. Armed Force, the Space Force, appear to get serious about space defense. And most recently, we have seen the Chinese military test what appeared to be ahypersonic glide vehicle that may have either been carrying a warhead or, as was recently speculated, may have dropped a separate warhead payload or spilt into two payloads. If falling behind in hypersonic space vehicles isn’t bad enough, a Space Force leader just revealed that this Chinese hypersonic whatever can also park in orbit and potentially fire weapons from space. Is the Chinese military slowly revealing that the Tic Tac UAPs are theirs? Is it time to worry … or is it too late?
“This is a categorically different system, because a fractional orbit is different than suborbital. A fractional orbit means it can stay on orbit as long as the user determines and then it de-orbits it as a part of the flight path.”
Kind of like this?
Lt. Gen. Chance (Salty) Saltzman, deputy Space Force chief for operations (and this year’s winner of the Best Military Nickname), revealed in an online speech reported by Breaking Defense and Asian media that the Chinese hypersonic glider can do more than just travel around the world in a suborbital arc – it can achieve space orbit. And that’s not the ‘big deal’ of Salty’s revelation – “fractional orbit” means this space plane can then leave orbit and return to Earth. Imagine a space shuttle – or the Space Force’s X-37 secret orbiting spacecraft – with hypersonic speed.
Worried yet? General Salty has one more revelation up his many-striped sleeve. Because this hypersonic vehicle can deliver a payload, or perhaps even fire a separate missile, it becomes a system known in the military jargon as a fractional orbital bombardment system (FOBS) … something the general warns is a “very forward-edge technology capability” because it is also a highly maneuverable hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) – not an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that the U.S. military has spent billions over decades building systems to defend against. It sounds like the Space Force isn’t ready for FOBS/HGV.
“And so it’s incumbent on the Space Force, in my mind, to make sure that we’re developing the capabilities to track these kinds of weapons. Before they’re launched, ideally, but then throughout their lifecycle — either on orbit or in execution of their mission set. (It is imperative for Space Force) to make sure that we’re developing those capacities to be able to track and hold accountable nations who are using these kinds of destabilizing weapons.”
Nations? There’s more than one? And “tracking” means these are offensive weapons traveling at Mach 5. How fast does the defensive weapon have to be to intercept it?
How hard is it to hit a bullet with a bullet?
Perhaps the most intriguing phrase of this revelation/discussion is “fractional orbital” – another meaning of this might be ‘transmedium from orbital to Mach 5 and back’. And “transmedium” is what many of the Tic Tac UFOs are – changing from air to underwater and vice versa. This takes us back to the original question – could this be the Chinese military slowly revealing that the Tic Tacs are theirs?
Or is the U.S. military doing the revealing?

Here’s one new footage of a triangular-shaped hovering in the night sky above Berkeley in California. This happened on December 1st 2021.
Witness report:
I climbed on to the roof of a house Im working on and captured a UFO Made of about 7 lights. The lights quickly dispersed in different directions while one light remained for about 25 minutes. Understandably so, the phone didn’t quite capture the triangle shape of lights dispersing. Its quite different in person and can garuntee it wasn’t ours. edit: excuse my fat breathing and language I climbed 3 flights of stairs onto a roof to capture this video
Pentagon Comments on the New DoD UFO Group (AOIMSG)
Pentagon Comments on the New DoD UFO Group (AOIMSG)
The Department of Defense is creating a new investigative body to track and analyze "unidentified aerial phenomena," as concerns grow about national security risks posed by UFOs. Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, announced the creation of the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group, "to assess, and as appropriate, mitigate any associated threats to safety of flight and national security." John Kirby, Pentagon spokesperson, responds to a question concerning this new group.
“UFOs Are Not Aggressive,” Says Senior NASA Scientist
“UFOs Are Not Aggressive,” Says Senior NASA Scientist
In an interview on unidentified aerial phenomena, Dr. Richard F. Haines explains that several features can be distinguished when observing UFO phenomena.
One is that when UFOs approach our planes, they show curiosity and interest, not a desire to attack.
UFOs and aliens are usually feared. It comes from pop culture and films. But does this evidence of the UFO phenomenon indicate what we should be afraid of?
Former NASA Senior Scientist Dr. Richard F. Haines spoke about the UFO phenomenon, focusing on the observations of more than 3,000 pilots. He spoke about the phenomenon and how these objects, which are constantly observed, behave.
These objects were spotted and tracked on radar, making maneuvers beyond the power of any known artificial mechanism, while moving at unreachable speeds.
Another common theme is that these objects approach human airplanes and behave similarly to curiosity, Dr. Haynes explains.
For example, in the case of military aircraft, pilots observe how critical electronic capabilities, such as the ability to launch missiles, are disabled when they are near these objects.
One notable example comes from the Iranian encounter of fighters with UFOs in 1976, when the weapons systems of several jet aircraft went out of order..
Dr. Haynes explains that in 50 percent of the cases he has encountered, these objects are approaching our planes, and not vice versa.
Haynes goes on to say that UFOs appear to be making evasive maneuvers to avoid our planes so as not to create a potential collision. This portion of the interview reminds the following quote from General Nathan Twining in 1947.
“The phenomenon reported is something real, not a vision or fiction … Reported performance characteristics such as extreme climb rates, maneuverability, and actions to be considered as avoidance upon detection or contact with friendly aircraft and radars, suggest that some of the objects are controlled manually, automatically or remotely. ”
Dr. Haines is currently Chief Scientist for NARCAP, an organization that has been investigating, documenting and analyzing aviation security and UFO sightings and incidents since 1999.
This leaked footage looks like it was deliberately filmed to examine exhibits and show the different pieces probably as part of a cataloguing system.
I've actually seen the colour photo's of the Air Force News circus from the very day after the Roswell UFO crash. They paraded a load of paper and tinfoil with thin wooden sticks but nothing like this content was paraded in front of the whole world's News media that day. Also, it's understood that Alien beings were recovered from the Roswell UFO crash site. You've got to understand that the day before this news circus, the United States Air Force had just announced that a UFO had in fact crashed.
There's so much information about the Roswell UFO story and it's never gonna fit into this post. So, I'll focus on this specific video with the UFO debris and I'll show the photo's with my own personal thoughts and opinions. I hope you like this video. Every single News outlet from Taiwan to Torbay and from there to here and here to everywhere all wanted a journalist there covering it. Don't forget that this was the biggest revelation since the invention of the wheel or just as important information as anything else could possibly be? People now had confirmation that we are not alone in the Universe.
Although it was briefly, that answer coming from the Government was enough to bring a cold shiver to mankind. Knowledge of such things as this must have made some people wonder just who was their neighbours really...
They didn't have time to change their opinions because the next day it got retracted and a weather balloon was torn apart in the WC by the Air Force personnel and paraded around for the media to photograph because "woops" the Air Force had made a huge mistake. Anyhoo, check out these amazing UFO photo's and this stunning crashed UFO debris video.
The pieces that I see here just below looks like they've been deliberately cut, take this exceptionally Alien looking piece of "Cross beam" which could be from a super structure of an Alien craft, say for instance the Roswell UFO crash. Would you agree that it looks like it's been deliberately cut?
It's leaked footage which insinuates the video wasn't intended for anyone else out of that specific agency yet they're showing off the pieces as if showing them to someone outside of the agency. But believe it or not, that fit's in perfect because if it's a cataloguing video it means that different departments within the agency can have copies etc and still keep a compartmental system in place.
They all each go off in their own directions and discover what they can by meeting with metallurgy experts and some will figure out the metals, some will find out where they originated, what's the latest in each field etc. I suppose it's one way of whittling down the list of possible countries that could if created this. I say that so that they can definitely rule out other countries advanced weapons or advanced aerospace systems.
I'm not sure how an agency like the Pentagon or NASA etc would come to an Extraterrestrial vehicle or if it's a straightforward process but logically thinking, nobody can just take one look and say it's UFO technology and the metal is from the frame. So, the process I listed earlier is more than likely gonna come into effect? Seek out the experts, have small snippets of information about a small conundrum and eventually the bigger question will be answered and in such a way that every single possible solution will be covered.
That's exactly why the compartmental system was started. Secrecy as well but overall, it's to further the information on any given task broken down and intensely studied. The theory that no - one person can know everything is still valid, but also all these little compartments of information will build up a super, well researched picture.
Here's the actual real bona-fide proof that Alien's exist and that's not a joke, that's reality but it comes with a twist. This awesome video below was leaked and because of that, we can't verify it as real or otherwise.
This UFO crash was and still is the most famous UFO event to ever have happened in history. I'm quite sure that it's a prime target for anyone looking to poke fun at the believer's of UFOs and Aliens alike. But I honestly can't think of anything or any reason why someone would fake a video of the Roswell UFO? Unless money is promised or paid up front even for a found footage style of Roswell video, then why would someone fake a convoluted prank like this? I might have just answered my own question there because money is the biggest motivation alway's.
What's your thought's on this video and the supposed crashed and recovered UFO debris? Just remember that the US Government declared that a UFO had been recovered, but the very next day they retracted that story, so just remember that they could have been told by the power's that be to retract that statement, now!
Please share your thought's and opinions also any ideas that you might have about this amazing UFO Spaceship that crashed and was recovered in Roswell New Mexico. I'd also appreciate it if you could share this post with someone who you think would appreciate it, cheers.

The first 'living robots' that can REPRODUCE: Microscopic organisms made from frog cells assemble 'babies' in their Pac Man-shaped mouths – in breakthrough that could one day be used to destroy cancer cells
The first 'living robots' that can REPRODUCE: Microscopic organisms made from frog cells assemble 'babies' in their Pac Man-shaped mouths – in breakthrough that could one day be used to destroy cancer cells
Frog stem cells, shaped using artificial intelligence, will spontaneously replicate
They gather single cells inside a Pac-Man-shaped 'mouth' and release 'babies'
Self-replicating living bio-robots could allow more personalised drug treatment
In a potential breakthrough for regenerative medicine, scientists have created the first-ever living robots that can reproduce.
The millimetre-sized living machines, called Xenobots 3.0, are neither traditional robots nor a species of animal, but living, programmable organisms.
Made from frog cells, the computer-designed organisms, created by a US team, gather single cells inside a Pac-Man-shaped 'mouth' and release 'babies' that look and move like their parents.
Self-replicating living bio-robots could enable more direct, personalised drug treatment for traumatic injury, birth defects, cancer, ageing and more.
Scroll down for video
Xenobots 3.0 can gather hundreds of single cells, compress them and assemble them into 'babies' released from their Pac-Man-shaped mouths
WHAT ARE XENOBOTS?
Xenobots are neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal, but a living, programmable organism.
They are made out of adapted stem cells from Xenopus laevis, an African species of frog.
Their shape has been designed by a computer to be able to replicate over multiple generations.
No animal or plant known to science replicates in this way.
Xenobots will help developed computer-designed organisms for intelligent drug delivery.
Xenobots are the work of biologists and computer scientists at Tufts University and the University of Vermont (UVM), who have detailed their creation in a new study.
Xenobots 3.0 follow the original Xenobots, reported in 2020 as the first living robots, and Xenobots 2.0, which can self-propel using hair-like 'legs' called cilia and have the ability to keep memories.
'We found Xenobots that walk. We found Xenobots that swim. And now, in this study, we've found Xenobots that kinematically replicate,' said study author Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont.
'We've discovered that there is this previously unknown space within organisms, or living systems, and it's a vast space.'
Xenobots will help develop computer-designed organisms for intelligent drug delivery, according to the team.
'If we knew how to tell collections of cells to do what we wanted them to do, ultimately, that's regenerative medicine – that's the solution to traumatic injury, birth defects, cancer, and aging,' said Michael Levin at Tufts University.
'All of these different problems are here because we don't know how to predict and control what groups of cells are going to build. Xenobots are a new platform for teaching us.'

In 2020, the scientists revealed they'd hand-built the original computer-designed Xenobots, adapted from stem cells of Xenopus laevis, a species of frog found in parts of Africa.
WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?
Stem cells are special human cells that have the ability to develop into many different cell types, from muscle cells to brain cells.
In some cases, they also have the ability to repair damaged tissues.
Stem cells are divided into two main forms – embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells.
Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent – they can give rise to many different cell types.
Adult stem cells are found in most adult tissues, such as bone marrow or fat but have a more limited ability to give rise to various cells of the body.
Meanwhile, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are adult cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to be more like embryonic stem cells.
Stem cells – which can turn into any tissue or organ – were harvested from the embryos of the frogs and left to incubate.
Then, with tiny forceps and an even smaller electrode, a microsurgeon cut and joined the single cells under a microscope into the shapes specified by a computer.
Assembled into body forms never seen in nature, the cells began to work together, powered by embryonic energy stores.
At the time, they showed that the bots were programmed to perform a range of tasks including delivering medicine directly to a point in the body.
This new generation – Xenobots 3.0 – uses stem cells from the same frog species.
Xenobots 3.0 can gather hundreds of single cells, compress them and assemble them into 'babies' released from their Pac-Man-shaped mouths.
A few days later, these 'babies' become new Xenobots that look and move just like their 'parents'.
And then these new Xenobots can go out, find cells, and build copies of themselves – and the process happens over and over again.
In a Xenopus laevis frog, these embryonic stem cells would usually develop into skin.
'They would be sitting on the outside of a tadpole, keeping out pathogens and redistributing mucus,' said Levin.
'But we're putting them into a novel context. We're giving them a chance to reimagine their multicellularity.
'These cells have the genome of a frog, but, freed from becoming tadpoles, they use their collective intelligence, a plasticity, to do something astounding.
Close-up of three young African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis). Embryonic stem cells from this species were used to create the 'Xenobots'
On its own, the Xenobot parent, made of some 3,000 cells, forms a sphere – but it can't reproduce effectively over several generations.
'These can make children but then the system normally dies out after that,' said Sam Kriegman at Tuft's. 'It's very hard, actually, to get the system to keep reproducing.'
So, the team used a computer – specifically an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm on the Deep Green supercomputer cluster at UVM.
The algorithm was able to test billions of body shapes in simulation – triangles, squares, pyramids, starfish – to find ones that replicate.
'We asked the supercomputer at UVM to figure out how to adjust the shape of the initial parents, and the AI came up with some strange designs after months of chugging away, including one that resembled Pac-Man,' said Kriegman.
'It's very non-intuitive. It looks very simple, but it's not something a human engineer would come up with. Why one tiny mouth? Why not five? We sent the results to Doug and he built these Pac-Man-shaped parent Xenobots.

'Then those parents built children, who built grandchildren, who built great-grandchildren, who built great-great-grandchildren.'
In other words, the Pac-Man design greatly extended the number of generations.
In response to any ethical concerns the public might have, the team stress Xenobots are entirely contained in a lab, are easily extinguished, and are vetted by federal, state and institutional ethics experts.
'This is an ideal system in which to study self-replicating systems,' said Bongard. 'We have a moral imperative to understand the conditions under which we can control it, direct it, douse it, exaggerate it.
It's important, for society as a whole, that we study and understand how this works.'
STEM CELL ADVANCE COULD FIX A BROKEN HEART, SCIENTISTS SAY
A breakthrough stem cell injection could one day help cure faulty hearts, according to scientists.
Previous attempts to regenerate hearts this way have faltered because the cells struggle to adapt to their new environment.
Researchers at University College London have figured out how to keep stem cells alive for longer in the heart by first growing them on to miniature spheres.
The size of the microspheres means they can be injected into heart muscle. The researchers say their method, which was tested in rats, could help cure heart failure.

The world's first 'living robots' that can now replicate themselves
The world's first 'living robots' that can now replicate themselves
Scientists have created astonishing new “living programmable organism” a super-sophisticated robot capable of self-replication.
The Xenobots, computer-designed bio-robots, were adapted from frog stem cells and have now been programed to self replicate, spawning ‘babies’ from their Pac-Man-like mouths. Then these new Xenobots can go out, find cells, and build copies of themselves. Again and again.
They hope that the self-generating Xenobots could advance personalized drug treatment for cancers, traumatic injuries, birth defects, and other major health issues.
But is it the future of modern medicine? Technology futurist Ian Khan cautions against excessive optimism or excitement blinding us to the risks involved in the dawning technology. Robots that reproduce themselves 'aren't giant monsters — yet'
By creating these self-replicating "living robots," the scientists are essentially answering the idea that self-replicating alien probes, known as von Neumann probes, do exist.
These alien robotic probes could explore our galaxy and self-replicate themselves from interstellar dust and gas, after which the parent and child probes would each set off for a different star, where they would look for signs of life and then self-replicate themselves again.
Mathematicians in Scotland calculate that "self-replicating" alien spacecraft could already have explored our solar system and may still be here but undetectable to our current technologies.
According to some recent calculations, the massive new observational platform, The new Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) might be able to detect swarms of von Neumann probes relatively far away from the sun.
Currently, human civilization is thought to be around a .75 on the Kardashev scale which perhaps explains that we as humans are only just beginning to understand how to make new forms of self-replication products, and certainly don't have the technology yet how to make self-replicating 'Neumann probes' in space which according to Michio Kaku could be Nano Ships.

UFO filmed over Farmington, Utah 27-Nov- 2021
This bright unidentified flying object was filmed over Farmington, Utah on 27th November 2021.
Witness report:
My wife and I were headed home from a family dinner on Saturday, November 27th. On our way to get onto Interstate 15, we both noticed a VERY bright light above the mountain, in the sky. My wife asked that I stop the car so she could look at it. I did. We watched it for maybe 5 minutes total. It was large. It was not a star nor a radio tower as it was clearly OFF/Above the wasatch mountain range. I took videos and pictures. When we got onto the interstate to go home, it was gone.

GEZICHT OP MARS: OPTISCHE ILLUSIE OP DE RODE PLANEET INTRIGEERT AL 45 JAAR
Tim Kraaijvanger
In 1976 fotografeerde de Viking 1-orbiter een bijzondere berg op Mars. Deze berg had de vorm van een gezicht. Was dit een buitenaards kunstwerk of een optische illusie?
De planeet Mars spreekt al eeuwen tot de verbeelding. Zou er leven zijn op de rode planeet? Of zijn we helemaal alleen in het zonnestelsel? Het is nu lastig voor te stellen, maar voor de jaren zestig wisten wetenschappers erg weinig over het zusje van de aarde. Er werden diverse pogingen gedaan om een ruimtevaartuig naar Mars te sturen, maar verschillende missies mislukten. Pas in 1965 slaagde de Amerikaanse Mariner 4 er in om langs de rode planeet te vliegen en leerden we meer over de vierde planeet van het zonnestelsel. Tien jaar later zette de Viking 1-lander als eerste ruimtevaartuig voet op Mars en kregen we voor het eerst unieke beelden te zien vanaf het Martiaanse oppervlak.
In de zoektocht naar een geschikte landingsplaats fotografeerde de Viking 1-orbiter verschillende gebieden op Mars, waaronder Cydonia. Op één van de foto’s was een tafelberg te zien met een menselijk gezicht. De foto verscheen in alle kranten en werd gezien door veel mensen als hét bewijs van het bestaan van leven op Mars. Natuurlijk wisten NASA-wetenschappers wel beter en dachten zij al vanaf het begin dat het gezicht een illusie was, veroorzaakt door licht en schaduw. Dit wordt ook wel pareidolie genoemd.
De beroemde berg Cydonia Mensa op Mars, beter bekend als het ‘Gezicht op Mars’.
Wat is pareidolie? Pareidolie is een psychisch verschijnsel waarbij men in alledaagse voorwerpen gezichten herkent. Dat komt omdat het menselijk brein nu eenmaal sterk geneigd is overal iets herkenbaars van te maken. Dit komt goed van pas bij het herkennen van vormen die op eventueel gevaar kunnen wijzen, zoals bijvoorbeeld het silhouet van een roofdier. Maar soms loopt ons brein een beetje te hard van stapel en ziet het verbanden of patronen die er niet zijn. Zo zien sommige mensen allerlei dieren in wolken of bijvoorbeeld een gezichtje in de maan. Overigens is er ook een verschijnsel dat auditieve pareidolie heet. In dat geval hoor je een mondegreen (een zogenoemde ‘mama appelsap’), zoals “waar is toch dat zebrahondje voor” in Lambada van Kaoma.
De afgelopen decennia hebben diverse NASA-ruimtemissies prachtige foto’s gemaakt van nevels, sterrenstelsels, stellaire kraamkamers en planeten. Ieder weekend halen we een indrukwekkende ruimtefoto uit het archief. Dit is het tweede artikel in de reeks, maar binnenkort kun je alle foto’s terugvinden op deze pagina.
Optische illusie Uiteindelijk zijn er betere foto’s gemaakt van het Gezicht op Mars, o.a. door de Mars Odyssey in 2001. Deze foto zie je hieronder. En wat blijkt: het gaat inderdaad om een optische illusie. Cydonia Mensa is een doodgewone twee kilometer lange geërodeerde tafelberg. Geen creatie door Marsmannetjes, maar na 45 jaar spreekt de allereerste foto nog steeds tot de verbeelding.
Gezicht van Ghandi, een geheime basis en meer vondsten op Mars De afgelopen tientallen jaren zijn er meer optische illusies gespot op Mars, zoals het gezicht van Ghandi en een geheime basis. In 2010 fotografeerde de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter zelfs bomen op de rode planeet.
Een ruimtevaart-enthousiasteling uit Italië heeft via Google Mars het gezicht van de Indiase leider Mahatma Gandhi ontdekt op de rode planeet. Met behulp van satellietfoto's heeft Google Mars onze buurplaneet in kaart gebracht. Ruimtevaartliefhebbers speuren de kaarten af in de hoop opvallende zaken te vinden. Zo heeft de Italiaan naar eigen zeggen ook al ingangen tot ondergrondse tunnels en ru�nes van steden op Mars gevonden. Een universiteit in Arizona onderzocht de ontdekking en kwam dankzij foto's in hoge resolutie erachter dat het gezicht eigenlijk een diepe krater is.

In de donkere kraters rond de zuidpool van de maan kan niet alleen bevroren water, maar ook bevroren koolstofdioxide te vinden zijn. Dat blijkt uit nieuw onderzoek gebaseerd op gegevens van NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
Dat is goed nieuws voor toekomstige bemande maanmissies. Na water is koolstof waarschijnlijk de belangrijkste hulpbron op de maan. Het kan worden gebruikt voor de productie van raketbrandstof, biomaterialen en staal.
In kraters rond de ijskoude polen van de maan kunnen zich allerlei vluchtige stoffen ophopen. De maan heeft weliswaar geen atmosfeer, en dus ook niet veel water, maar er wordt wel geregeld water en koolstof aangevoerd door kometen en koolstofhoudende (micro)meteorieten.
Veel van de aldus gevormde moleculen verdwijnen uiteindelijk de ruimte in, maar moleculen die bij toeval in diepe kraters rond de polen van de maan verzeild raken, kunnen ter plaatse neerslaan als ijs. De temperaturen aldaar zijn, bij gebrek aan invallend zonlicht, dermate laag dat de kraters als ‘koudevallen’ fungeren.
Waterijs
Meetgegevens van het Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment van de LRO laten zien dat de temperaturen rond de polen van de maan laag genoeg zijn om CO2-moleculen ‘in de val’ te laten lopen. Theoretisch zouden zich hier dan ook grote hoeveelheden CO2 kunnen hebben opgehoopt, maar of dat ook werkelijk zo is, zal nog moeten blijken. Vast staat wel dat een andere NASA-maansonde in 2009 CO2 heeft gedetecteerd in de pluim van materiaal die opstoof nadat een rakettrap (doelbewust) was ingeslagen bij de zuidpool van de maan.
De totale oppervlakte aan CO2-koudevallen rond de zuidpool van de maan bedraagt ongeveer 200 vierkante kilometer. Ter vergelijking: de koudevallen van waterijs beslaan bijna 14.000 vierkante kilometer. De eventuele concentraties van CO2 zijn dus heel schaars, maar de meeste koudevallen zijn te vinden op de bodem van de relatief gemakkelijk toegankelijke krater Amundsen. De temperatuur aldaar komt nooit boven de –212 °C uit, dus zal het wel een uitdaging worden om dit gebied te verkennen.
The new TOLIMAN space telescope could launch in the mid-2020s.
A new space telescope mission unveiled today (Nov. 16) will look for habitable planets in the Alpha Centauri system, our sun's closest stellar neighbors.
The new mission, called TOLIMAN after an ancient Arabic-derived name for Alpha Centauri, will carry a novel telescope fitted with a so-called diffractive pupil lens that spreads starlight into a flowerlike pattern. This unique lens will make it easier for astronomers using the scope to detect tiny irregularities in a stars' movements that are usually caused by the gravitational influence of orbiting planets, according to a statement by Breakthrough Initiatives, which is backing the mission.
"Even for the very nearest bright stars in the night sky, finding planets is a huge technological challenge," Eduardo Bendek, an optical engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a collaborator on the mission, said in the statement.
"Our TOLIMAN mission will launch a custom-designed space telescope that makes extremely fine measurements of the position of the star in the sky. If there is a planet orbiting the star, it will tug on the star betraying a tiny, but measurable, wobble," Bendek said.

Alpha Centauri is the closest solar system to Earth and it has three stars, two of which are like our sun. The third star is a red dwarf called Proxima Centauri, a cool but long-lived type of a star that is the most common in the universe.
This red dwarf is known to have at least two exoplanets, one of which appears to be fairly similar to Earth.
But so far, this intriguing star system, just four light-years away from us, has avoided detailed scientific scrutiny, despite the fact that the planets around these stars could present the most convenient destination for humankind outside of our own solar system.
While, for now, a human mission to Alpha Centauri remains in the realm of science fiction, the TOLIMAN telescope will at least attempt to answer some of the most fundamental and pressing questions about its planets. Most importantly, scientists hope to use the new scope to investigate whether these far-off worlds might indeed harbor life, or perhaps provide the right conditions for its survival.
"Our nearest stellar neighbors — the Alpha Centauri and Proxima Centauri systems — are turning out to be extraordinarily interesting," Pete Worden, executive director of the Breakthrough Initiatives, said in the statement. "The TOLIMAN mission will be a huge step toward finding out if planets capable of supporting life exist there."

The mission will focus on the habitable zone around the system's three stars, a region of space in the star's vicinity where liquid water could exist.
"These nearby planets are where humanity will take our first steps into interstellar space using high-speed, futuristic, robotic probes," Pete Klupar, chief engineer of Breakthrough Watch, a branch of Breakthrough Initiatives, said in the statement. "If we consider the nearest few dozen stars, we expect a handful of rocky planets like Earth orbiting at the right distance for liquid surface water to be possible."
Professor Peter Tuthill of the Sydney Institute for Astronomy, who leads the development of the mission, added that TOLIMAN will begin answering the questions about the nature of these intriguing worlds.
"Getting to know our planetary neighbors is hugely important," Professor Tuthill said. "These next-door planets are the ones where we have the best prospects for finding and analyzing atmospheres, surface chemistry and possibly even the fingerprints of a biosphere — the tentative signals of life."

The team, which also includes experts from Australian space-tech firm Saber Astronautics, began working on the mission in April this year, according to the statement.
The mission received $788,000 ($576,000) from the Australian government and is expected to be ready for science in the mid-2020s.
"Our plan is for an agile low-cost mission that delivers results by about the middle of the decade," Tuthill said.
