Where Is VP Biden? Don't Worry, We Have Found Him! He Is "Only" At 80 AU!

Dwarf planet stretches Solar System's edge

This orbit diagram shows the paths of Oort cloud objects 2012 VP₁₁₃ (red) and Sedna (orange), which circle the Kuiper belt (blue) at the Solar System's edge.

The Solar System just got a lot more far-flung. Astronomers have discovered a probable dwarf planet that orbits the Sun far beyond Pluto, in the most distant trajectory known.

Together with Sedna, a similar extreme object discovered a decade ago, the find is reshaping ideas about how the Solar System came to be. “It goes to show that there’s something we don’t know about our Solar System, and it’s something important,” says co-discoverer Chad Trujillo, an astronomer at Gemini Observatory in Hilo, Hawaii. “We’re starting to get a taste of what’s out beyond what we consider the edge.”

Trujillo and Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC, report the finding today in Nature.

“This is a great discovery,” says Michael Brown, a planetary astronomer at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. “We’ve been searching for more objects like Sedna for more than 10 years now.” Finding another one like it reduces the chances that Sedna is a
fluke, he says. But astronomers now have to come up with ideas to explain how these objects remain tightly gravitationally bound to the Sun when they orbit so
far away.

The newfound object's official name is 2012 VP₁₁₃, but the discovery team calls it VP for short, or just 'Biden' — after US Vice-President Joe Biden. In several years time, after observations have pinned down its orbit, the scientists will submit a name for consideration by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the organization in charge of celestial nomenclature.

Bleeding edge

The classical planetary portion of the Solar System ends at Neptune, which orbits the Sun at about 30 times the Earth–Sun distance, a cosmic yardstick known as an astronomical unit (AU). One AU is approximately 150 million kilometres. Beyond Neptune is a realm of icy bodies, known as the Kuiper belt, that includes Pluto. This region stretches from roughly 30 to 50 AU. And beyond that lies the Oort cloud, with Sedna at its inner edge and comets farther out.

Sedna never gets any closer to the Sun than 76 AU. 2012 VP₁₁₃, although still in the inner Oort cloud, is even more remote: at its closest, it is 80 AU away.

The red, green and blue dots show the movement of 2012 VP₁₁₃ over a period of several hours on 5 November 2012.

The body is so distant that when Sheppard first spotted it, it was the slowest-moving astronomical object he had ever seen. The farther away something is, the slower it seems to move across the sky. Trujillo and Sheppard have been hunting for distant objects with the Dark Energy Camera, a 520-megapixel camera on the 4-metre Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. They captured 2012 VP₁₁₃ during their first
observing run, in November 2012, on the fifth image of the hundreds they would eventually snap. “We got lucky right away,” says Sheppard.

For months they tracked the object, until its full orbit became more apparent. But whereas Sedna can stray as far as 1,000 AU from the Sun, 2012 VP₁₁₃ gets no further than about 452 AU. It seems to be more closely bound by the Sun’s gravity, which is something of a mystery, says Sheppard.

Origin stories

At 450 kilometres across, 2012 VP₁₁₃ is about half the size of Sedna. If, as scientists expect, it is made mostly of ice, then its gravity probably pulls it into a spherical shape. This would qualify it as a dwarf planet under the revised rules of planethood drawn up by the IAU in 2006.

There are several competing ideas for how objects such as Sedna and 2012 VP₁₁₃ got to where they are today. One leading hypothesis proposes that in the Solar System’s infancy, a nearby star gravitationally perturbed the coalescing system and dragged some fragments out towards the edge. Another possibility is that a massive rogue planet passed through at some point, kicking objects from the Kuiper belt outwards into the inner Oort cloud.

Either way, Sedna and 2012 VP₁₁₃ may be just the tip of the iceberg, says Megan Schwamb, an astronomer at the Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan. She has looked for Sedna-like objects before, and has modelled how much material could be out there. The inner Oort cloud could contain some 10–100 times the mass of the Kuiper belt, she says.

Trujillo and Sheppard estimate that there are hundreds more inner Oort objects waiting to be found. They are currently tracking six more candidates that could belong to extreme parts of the Solar System.

UFO sighting caught over Bartow, Florida on 15th March 2014

New amazing video footage of a bright UFO sighting recorded over Bartow, Florida on 15th March 2014.

Witness said:
I was testing a new quadracopter and camera platform, just taking some random videos about 500′ or more. I did not witness it at the time of the flight. It was not until I started going through the video that I noticed something odd. What struck me was the speed, based on distance covered and time elapsed, which I have calculated to be around 920mph. It moved in a straight line until I turned my camera away. It appears to be a small orb traveling northwest from a local lake just above the tree tops. I don’t know if it’s ‘other-worldly’ but I cannot explain it and thought that maybe you guys might have seen something similar in the past.

I am sending an edited video just to show the interesting part but I can also make the original, unedited video available. It is well over a gigabyte so I’ll wait to see if you need it.

Close Encounter In Kansas

(Before It's News)

On 11/2/1971 in Delphos, Kansas, 16 year old Ronald Johnson was tending the sheep, accompanies by his dog, when the sighting happened. What he suddenly saw was a mushroom shaped object, illuminated by multicolored lights over its entire surface and hovering 25 yards away. Johnson and his family went around the house to the site of the near landing and were surprised to observe a glowing ring in the ground. This is considered as one of the very best physical trace cases involving a UFO landing:

ORIGINAL REPORT: On the evening of November 2, 1971 sixteen-year-old Ronald Johnson was tending the sheep on his father’s farm ear the small town of Delphos, Kansas. At about 7:00 p.m. Ronald and his dog Snowball were suddenly surprised to see an object hovering about two feet off the ground in a grove of trees some twenty-five yards from where he stood. The object, which he later estimated to be about nine feet in diameter and ten feet tall, was shaped like a mushroom with a short stem and was covered with multi-colored lights. It made a sound that Ronald described as like that of an old washing machine which vibrates. As he watched, it suddenly became very bright at the base and then it took off at an angle, temporarily blinding him. Ronald would later say that the dog was noticeably “very quiet”, but that the sheep were bleating nervously.

Some minutes later, as Ronald’s eyes once more adjusted to the light, he went into the house and told his parents, Durel and Erma Johnson, what he had seen. They got outside in time to see the object, which was now about half the full moon in size, before it vanished into the sky to the south.

Ronald and his parents then went to examine the place at which the object had been first seen. They were astonished to find a glowing ring on the ground, and some sort of glowing material on nearby trees. When Mrs. Johnson touched the glowing area, which had a crust-like texture, she found that her fingers went numb. She tried to wipe the substance off onto her leg, and her leg became numb where the material touched it. Her fingers reportedly remained slightly numb for about two weeks, although she never sought medical attention for the problem. Mr. Johnson fetched his camera and took a photo of the ring and then phoned the local newspaper, The Delphos Republican.

The next day, Durel and Ronald drove into town and spoke to a Delphos Republican reporter, Thaddia Smith. Mrs. Smith, her husband, and her son-in-law then accompanied the Johnsons back to their farm, where she found:

The circle was still very distinct and plain to see. the soil was dried and crusted. The circle or ring was approximately 8 feet across, the center of the ring and the outside area were still muddy from recent rains. The area of the ring that was dried was about a foot across and was very light in color.

The object had crushed a dead tree to the ground either when it landed or took off, and from appearance had broken a limb of a live tree when it landed. the broken limb was most unusual, it would snap and break as though it had been dead for quite some time, yet it was green under the bark, and the upper area still had green leaves clinging to its branches. However the lower area looked as though it had been blistered and had a whitish cast.

That afternoon, Sheriff Enlow, Undersheriff Harlan Enlow, and Kansas State Highway Patrolman Kenneth Yager investigated the ring after being called by Thaddia Smith. Harlan Enlow’s report of the investigation stated:

…we observed a ring shaped somewhat like a doughnut with a hole in the middle. The ring was completely dry with a hole in the middle and outside of the ring mud. There were limbs broken from a tree and a dead tree broken off, there. There was a slight discoloration on the trees.

The soil sample taken was almost white in color and very dry.

Enlow’s report also stated that:

On 11-03-71 Mr. Lester Ensbarger of 416 Argyle St. in Minneapolis advised Deputy Sheriff Leonard Simpson that at approx. 7:30 p.m. 11-02-71 he had observed a bright light descending in the sky in the Delphos area.

The ring was still clearly visible thirty-two days later when examined by a UFO investigator named Ted Phillips, who specializes in physical-trace cases. The soil in the ring itself was still dry to a depth of at least twelve inches even though at this time it was covered by snow, whereas the soil outside the ring was wet and black. Phillips took several photos of the ring and collected soil samples from the ring and from the ground outside the ring.

A number of analyses were done of soil samples taken from the ring and from the surrounding soil. The ring soil was found to be resistant to water, to contain more calcium and more soluble salts, and to be more acidic than soil from outside the ring. In addition, the soil from the ring was found to contain an unidentified hydrocarbon and an organic material composed of white, crystal-like fibers.

According to Jacques Vallee, in his book DIMENSIONS: A Casebook of Alien Contact a French biologist identified the white fibers as a fungus-like organism of the order Actinomycetales, whose growth can cause a circular pattern to form on the ground. In addition, this biologist, who asked not to be identified, stated that this fungus is often found growing with another fungus of the order Basidiomysetes, which may fluoresce under some conditions.

So…does that wrap the Delphos Ring up in a neat little package labeled “solved?”

Only if you’re one of those debunkers who thinks that if you find an explanation for part of an incident, then you have “debunked” the entire incident. Remember, three witnesses saw a UFO, not just the ring, and their sighting was at least partly corroborated by a fourth witness eleven miles away in Minneapolis. The ring itself may not be directly related to the UFO sighting, and the presence of a fungus in the soil does not explain how the fluorescent material got onto the surrounding trees, nor how the branches got broken and the dead Chinese elm tree knocked down.

Both Thaddia Smith and Sheriff Enlow told Ted Phillips in 1972 that the Johnsons were well respected in the area and that they did not believe that it was possible that the family could be perpetrating a hoax.

The dog would furiously try to get into the house at nightfall.

The day after the incident, Ronald’s eyes became red and watered as though from irritation. For a week after the incident he had nightmares from which he awoke screaming.

Even the animals were traumatized by the sighting. Vallee says:

For about two weeks, every evening at sunset, the sheep would jump out of the pen and run wildly. The dog would furiously try to get into the house at nightfall. He practically destroyed the screen door, and the only way to keep him outside was to replace it with a stronger metal door.

An adequate explanation for the Delphos incident has never been found.

SOIL ANALYSIS: The famous Delphos, Kansas CE2 encounter occurred at approximately 7:00 in the evening on November 2, 1971. 16 year-old Ron Johnson was tending sheep when he saw a mushroom-shaped object approximately nine feet in diameter with multicolored lights covering its surface. The object, about 25 yards away, was hovering about two feet off the ground. The UFO sounded like “an old washing machine which vibrates.” When it took off it temporarily blinded Ronald with a bright light from its base. Ron went to get his family, and when they returned the entire family saw the object in the sky.

At the site where the UFO had hovered witnesses saw “a glowing ring on the ground” and luminescence on nearby trees. Ron’s parents experienced numbing effects on touching the ring. One investigator said that the soil “felt strange, like a slick crust, as if the soil was crystallized.” On examination the soil was found to be impermeable to water and “dry to a depth of at least one foot”. A foul odor has also been reported by some investigators .

The objective of this analysis was to build on the initial analysis done by Erol Faruk on the Delphos ring soils in the 1970s . At the very least it is hoped this investigation will be a base case for reference to future analyses. Erol Faruk developed his analytical approach based on his experience as an Organic Chemist. He analyzed these materials using 1970’s technology which has advanced dramatically in 20 years. Computerization, new techniques, and instrumentation have advanced the field of analytical sciences to previously unachievable heights. Yet, Faruk’s work was outstanding and provided preliminary observations and conjectures regarding unknown residues extracted from the ring soils. My approach to the analysis, as an Analytical Chemist, is different; and there is nothing to contradict his initial observations.

Both ring and control soil samples from this event were located on Thanksgiving Day 1998, and received for analyses on December 7th. Thanks to the wisdom of John Timmerman, the samples were preserved in his attic for many years after closure of the CUFOS Chicago office. Documentation/sample labeling existed attesting to their authenticity, and they were encased in their original tightly closed film containers with no sign of tampering. –

NOTE: Later in 1974, there were a series of strange sightings of a small hairy “wolf girl” darting through the trees and brush surrounding the community.

Authorities later declared it all a hoax perpetrated by some very bored and creative teenagers with time on their hands during the summer of 1974. Yet to this day, internet searches for the Delphos Wolf Girl or just Feral Children will turn up articles that declare the Delphos Wolf Girl among the great unsolved mysteries of human history.

Daily 2 Cents: Anti-Bigfoot Hoaxing Software — Free Energy Revealed! — Chinese Wallboard or Toxic Weather?

(Before It's News)

Anti-Bigfoot Hoaxing Software

Matt Knapp thinks that Bigfoot research is a mess right now.

“The facts are that in terms of progress, the Bigfoot research community has ultimately made none. We are no closer now to proving these creatures exist than we were 40 years ago,” Knapp told Boston.

Knapp blames the setbacks on the digital age, and the amount of misinformation being spread in the form of photos and videos online. That, and the fact that more people seem to be trying to cash in on what they claim are legitimate Bigfoot sightings. “Self admittedly, up to this point, we have not had anything worth presenting as real evidence of this creature’s existence. If we want scientists to get involved, we have to go by their standards, not our anecdotal ones,” he said.

To help filter out the phonies and fakes all trying to make a quick buck on something he believes in, Knapp is asking those vested in Bigfoot research to rely on technology built out of MIT to prove that the truth is out there.

Knapp, who runs a blog called “Bigfoot Crossroads,” a personal site with updates about all things Sasquatch, recently stumbled upon an invention created by students and researchers in the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab in Cambridge in 2012, called “Eulerian Video Magnification.”

EVM is essentially a software that allows users to break down videos to reveal things in them that are invisible to the naked eye. This includes visualizing the blood pulsing behind someone’s cheeks and face, or capturing changes in body behaviors that the average person is unable to detect just by simply staring at someone. EVM does this by “homing in on specific pixels” in a given video, according to the New York Times, and then amplifying those pixels by up to 100 times using complex algorithms.

Knapp seems to believe that if the program can be used for medical diagnostics—it’s intended use when it was publicly introduced in 2012 by the MIT team—then there’s no reason it can’t call out fake videos. “In such a fringe subject as Bigfoot, not everyone is serious about their motives for being involved. There are numerous individuals out there, that for whatever reason present false evidence,” he said. “I feel [this] truly is remarkable and ground breaking technology that will really do some good in the world. Later on after reading about it and watching the videos, I realized that this software could be used in the Bigfoot field as well.”

He hopes that the technology launched by MIT’s team, which was made free for public use and download, will help separate what’s “real” from what’s merely a hoax. “Not only does the EVM software assist in…determining and proving the subject of a video is a living and breathing entity, and not just some guy in a costume, it also opens the door in terms of gaining information about muscle movement and motion,” said Knapp.

Since the Bigfoot research field has no set standards or protocol, and there are very few scientists involved in the study, he would like to see people rely on the technology produced by researchers out of MIT to help sift out the bogus material being disseminated. “The same techniques are being used, the same theories are being rehashed time and time again, and I believe a change is long overdue,” he said.

Already, users online have applied the MIT technology to alleged Bigfoot footage that has been floating around for decades. On March 23, a video was posted to YouTube—and later to Knapp’s blog—of one of the most infamous Sasquatch “sightings” in history. Originally shot by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin in 1967, the person that uploaded the clip applied the EVM technology to try to determine if blood pulses could be detected through the use of the software. Seeing the blood pulses on the large mammal, as it struts through the forest in the short film, could potentially tell Bigfoot researchers if, in fact, it’s the real deal.

While it was a valiant effort and first step, he doesn’t think the person who uploaded the recent clip used the software properly. “It is up to the individuals involved to learn the scientific standards and techniques used, and to implement proper documentation. We are also responsible for our own peer review and examination of the evidence that we do find. If we follow the proper procedures, and have the thorough documentation that would hold up to scientific standards, then one day we may have a piece of evidence that would be taken seriously by the scientific community,” Knapp said.

And if the MIT software doesn’t come in handy, Knapp can always tap into other Bigfoot resources offered here in the Bay State. Lest you forget, two of Boston’s favorite athletes—Dustin Pedroia and Jonathan Papelbon, of Red Sox fame—are avid Sasquatch hunters with an interest in finding the beast when they aren’t trying to knock balls out of Fenway Park. – Boston Magazine

Conspiracies: Chinese Wallboard or Toxic Weather?

My colleague Judy forwarded the following:

Dateline: March 28, 2014; Southeast Louisiana — An acrid “effluvia” (toxic air) wells up inside houses and buildings that “went under” in the man-made, post-Hurricane Katrina floods of August 29, 2005. There are those who would say that this stuff that burns the eyes and sinuses is caused by cheap Chinese drywall being used to restore houses. It is not drywall, though; there is no such drywall in my house.

This “effluvia” can come up in any room of any house, although it seems to be affected by moist air (warm or cold) blown in with rain systems that can come from any direction. Outside of buildings, on the street, this eye-burning chemical (it can only be chemical) cannot be detected whatsoever. That it comes up from under houses does happen without a doubt.

It must be remembered that waters loaded with toxins covered 80% of the city of New Orleans for almost a month until the last of the floods were drained away. In the early years, in any kind of weather, you could walk outside and pick up a sinuses-full of this same acrid “effluvia”. Those toxins contained everything from raw sewage to seepage from underground lines for gas, and fluids from motor vehicles.

What comes to mind is the Love Canal story, of a subdivision built on top of a toxic land fill. It is terrifying to think that the toxins from the 2005 floods could have created a Love Canal situation in New Orleans as well. Of course, we locals won’t be told anything, and the toxins will continue to work on us as long as we stay here out of sentiment for our beloved suburban homes.

As I type this, I am airing out my house from a full dose of this toxic air. Outside, it is raining, and a substantial wind is blowing from the south. All the indoor fans (not the air conditioning; that costs too much to run) are running, and yet in certain rooms, the “effluvia” continues to rise up — literally through the wooden slats in the floors.

Have there been reports of this “effluvia” from elsewhere? All you have to do is ask, or visit any other houses or buildings, and you can get a first-hand confirmation that the “nasty stuff” is out there.

Triangle UFO photographed in Texas

(Before It's News)

Witnesses photographed a triangle shaped UFO in the sky above Amarillo, Texas on Monday, March 10.

Defense technology blog Ares on the Aviation Week website explains that the craft was photographed by both Steve Douglass and Dean Muskett. This mysterious object was reportedly accompanied by two other craft. According to Aviation Week‘s defense expert Bill Sweetman, Douglass, who monitors aircraft radio communication, picked up some apparently related voice traffic, suggesting that the unidentifiable aircraft were piloted rather than remote-controlled.

Sweetman believes the photographed UFO is likely a classified military plane. He explains,

The photos tell us more about what the mysterious stranger isn’t than what it is. The size is very hard to determine, for example, although the image size at contrailing height suggests that it is bigger than an X-47B. However, the basic shape – while it resembles Boeing’s Blended Wing Body studies or the Swift Killer Bee/Northrop Grumman Bat unmanned air system – is different from anything known to have flown at full size, lacking the notched trailing edge of Northrop Grumman’s full-size designs.

So, like the Metro speculates, “As the US Air Force are unlikely to be forthcoming with information, the flying objects will almost certainly remain ‘unidentified’ (probably not aliens, though, sorry).”

Sunken Sphinx Found In Bahamas, Underwater For 2500 Years Say Archaeologists

(Before It's News)

A team of underwater archaeologists studying an ancient shipwreck of unknown origin near the eastern coast of the Bahamas, have made an astonishing discovery reports ADG UK.  Divers have found a large stone statue resembling in shape and design, of the Egyptian Great Sphinx.

“We are not absolutely certain at the moment, as to what this discovery actually means” explains James Neilson, an historian part of the research team.

“The erosion caused by the natural elements and the various corrals and lifeforms who have settled on it, have been disturbing our scientific dating attempts, but the nature of the mineral used in its construction confirms beyond the shadow a doubt, that the statue is of Middle Eastern origin.” 

The archaeologists who made the discovery, confirm that this one and a half ton basalt monument, could actually be of Egyptian origin.

The chemical analysis of the stone has demonstrated that it was almost certainly extracted from a quarry near Wadi Rahanu, an Egyptian region known for its quarrying industry since 3500 BC.

The basis of the statue seem to have carried an inscription, but the erosion has made it impossible to decipher or identify without further testing and examination.

The original analysis of the surroundings revealed that it could have been laying in the spot where it was discovered, for more than 2500 years.

These results, when added together, seem very surprising.

Most modern historians consider the ancient egyptians rather poor seamen, so the possibility of them crossing the Atlantic Ocean so early in history seems rather unlikely.

“The statue seems to have been transported on a ship” explains Mr Neilson.

“Most likely, it was on the one we are actually studying, that is scattered near the statue."

"Unfortunately, the wreck is very badly damaged and decayed, and we have only been able to determine that it was probably between 20 and 30 metres long and made of cedar."

"We can’t really confirm that it is egyptian."

"We will now proceed over the next months, to execute a great variety of different tests, to see if we can collect more information concerning either the statue or the ship, to try and confirm it’s origin.”

 The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs 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 UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

NASA Shuts Down Public ISS Cams Due To UFO Sighting

Scott C. Waring writes, “Yes, they installed two 17 million dollar HD cams to earn money using the ISS to sell satellite photos. Yes, NASA says they will shut down the live public cams due to budget cuts, even thought the Canada company selling the photos will pay NASA cash yearly. So the “budget cuts” excuse is a lie. The truth is they want to stop the viewers from seeing the UFOs at the ISS and posting them.” Since January of 2014, new recordings of UFOs seen on ISS live cam could be found on YouTube every 3-5 days, that’s up from every 13-20 days last year. Recently NASA has installed two HD cameras on the space station on several hard to do space walks and the consequences of those actions are becoming apparent to NASA. Disclosing UFOs in High Definition will soon be possible. It’s one thing to have a blurry photo of an object moving around the ISS using the regular old cams, but totally another thing to see it in high definition, They say the cameras can spy on object as small as 1-5 meters on the earth’s surface, so imagine how powerful a tool this could be in the hands of an UFO researcher.

 ”ISS live cam is scheduled to be retired in two weeks. Submit concerns to NASA official Jennifer B. Price for more information.”  jscsslive@mail.nasa.gov

 Basically the ISS 2 HD cams are now there to spy for hire and not for the public use. It’s embarrassing with UFOs visiting the ISS almost daily. This is not the TRANSPARENCY that Obama promised us all. Thanks to ufosightingsdaily.com: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/iss_ustream.html#.Uy-HMty2z8s

Blackstar Spaceship

 Lt. Colonel Don Ware writes

“Last year I heard Dr. Alton D. Romig, Jr., PhD,  the vice president and general manager of Advanced Development Programs AKA the Skunk Works® for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, told the graduate Aerospace Engineers about the space plane Dark Star".  He said, “It can take off here and land elsewhere, and he showed a picture of it. Perhaps it is no longer classified.  Filer’s Files #2, on 10 Jan 14, then showed Aviation Weeks picture of the Black Star craft along with a witness report from 20 years ago. It looks at least interplanetary to me, or maybe I watched too many Battlestar Galactica episodes. Perhaps these vehicles are being un-ceremoniously declassified as our transformation to the Golden Age moves right along.  Neither appear to have action-reaction type propulsion systems. Thanks to Don Ware.

Mysterious Disappearances

A triangle located in Lake Michigan is the site of mysterious disappearances of both land and sea craft with similar characteristics of the Bermuda Triangle, including ghost ships, strange disappearances and even UFO sightings. There’s been some strange disappearances out there, there’s been many ships that have been lost that haven’t been found.” Bill Wangemann is a historian from Sheboygan, Wisconsin who’s spent a lifetime gathering tales about the Lake Michigan triangle. The legend doesn’t end with sunken ships; nearly 40 planes have disappeared over Lake Michigan too.

 Probably the most famous is the DC-4 Northwest Airlines flight 2501 that took off from New York City headed for Minneapolis in June of 1950 and plunged into Lake Michigan just off Benton Harbor. No one of the 58 passengers survived and the craft was never found. Then, there are the sightings of UFO’s and other strange anomalies in the sky. In fact there have been so many sightings of strange objects and phantom planes that the Federal Aviation Administration created a special lake reporting service to catalog the reported sightings.  And yet still, thousands make the journey through the Triangle every season. There’s dozen’s of these stories about different things that have occurred out there and people that have been lost and sailors that have disappeared off of ships and some people claim that there is something supernatural going on out on the lake,” says Wangemann.

The wreck of the schooner Rosa Belle and the loss of 11 crew members and passengers appeared as if the schooner had been in a collision with another vessel. Among the strangest of the mysteries was the disappearance of the schooner Thomas Hume, which disappeared without a trace in a Lake Michigan gale on May 21, 1891, sailing to Muskegon, Michigan to pick up a load of lumber, seven sailors were lost with the ship. Even though the lake was searched thoroughly, not a stick of lumber or piece of flotsam from a wreck was ever found. Old sailors speculated that the Hume, a wooden vessel, could not have sunk without some wreckage floating away. To this day, the Hume’s disappearance remains unsolved. Aircraft and ships have disappeared in a relatively small area of Lake Michigan. Perhaps UFOs or strange creatures have something to do with strange disappearances?

Michigan Close Encounter

 Kenosha, Wisconsin – Dan Johnson writes, “Not much ever happened at our quiet, little college campus on the shores of Lake Michigan until that eventful evening in the spring of 1964.  I was safe at home, a hundred miles away from the event when my good friend, John came face to face with that other-worldly creature on that fateful night.  I returned to school and John told me his story from his trembling lips. John was standing alone on the terrace of our student union perched about ten feet above the beach and one hundred feet away from Lake Michigan.

John’s face tensed up and his voice quivered as he revealed it was quite foggy that night and he sensed movement off in the distance. With all of his attention focused something had moved ever so close to him. He tried to shout but no sound came out as he was frozen in place. What was it John?  As he tried to compose himself, trembling, he murmured, “It was not of this world, or at least it wasn’t human.”  John could neither scream nor run.  However, he knew that somehow, someway; he must get away and soon, very soon.  Before he could move however, and without a word being spoken, the creature lingered for a moment longer, and almost as if it was sensing John’s fear, “It turned and slowly but steadily walked off into the fog.” John ran faster than he had ever run in his entire life to his room, bolted the door and hid in his closet ‘til dawn.

Upon regaining his composure the following day, John was able to describe in detail what he had encountered.  He stated that the creature had black leathery skin, webbed feet and a large protruding forehead.  He judged its height at over eight feet, because the wall was ten feet high and he was looking almost directly into its non-existent eyes.  Yes, non-existent, for there were no distinguishing features like eyes, nose or mouth, just that large protruding forehead that jutted out several inches, and the webbed feet. I couldn’t get over the fear in his eyes and his conviction as he told me each spine tingling detail.

Later that day, I watched as he packed his belongings and I asked where he was going?  He said, “I’m leaving school this has been too much for me to deal with I’m afraid the creature will come back and I’m not taking any chances.” I couldn’t help notice that much of his hair was missing and what was left was turning white.  I helped take him to the bus station and we said our goodbyes.

Similar sightings were reported the same Saturday night in Racine, Wisconsin fifteen miles north of our campus. Lights were seen in the sky and a saucer shaped impression was roped off in the sand on the beach.  The silica in the sand was fused together and there were unconfirmed reports of several large, dark, leathery skinned creatures roaming the area. There was a radio report and a small blurb in the local newspaper the following day. A team of UFO investigators came from Washington, DC but according to them, nothing ever happened that night. It was people’s wild imaginations they said. I never heard from John again but honestly I believe him. I’ll never forget the horrified look in his eyes? Thanks to Dan Johnson

Malaysian Crash

No aircraft has ever disappeared just like this in the history of commercial aviation. We can speculate the plane was hijacked by the Taliban. A deadly fight occurred killing the pilots. No one really knows what happened.  The only reason we have any clue at all is that they didn’t shut off the satellite channel of ACARS. Imagine if they had figured that out, we’d be even more lost.

Based n this data the plane flew for at least six hours on one of two corridors, most likely south. Not long after the flight took off from Kuala Lumpur communications systems were disabled, the plane’s transponder was turned off, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Saturday.

Fly low enough over poor and sparsely populated countries and radar’s mostly irrelevant. Whoever did this was well aware of the radar holes and flew to avoid the coverage. It was well planned and executed. The most likely terrorists would be Taliban from Iran, Pakistan or Indonesia. The exact fuel load is unknown but plane is believed to have flown for six hours. Avoiding radar, flying slow and low the plane could have likely reached any of these countries.

Using data from military radar and satellites, officials believe MH370′s transponder was deliberately switched off as it crossed the Gulf of Thailand. The aircraft then made a sharp turn west, re-crossing the Malay Peninsula before settling into an established route towards India. Intriguingly, an Indian Express report today suggests the radars for the Andaman Islands “are not always switched on”.

Electronic pings picked up by commercial satellites suggest the plane flew on for at least another six hours. 6 x 500 = 3000 miles. People hijack an aircraft for terrorism, political, financial or other type of gain. A long range aircraft is valuable costing 350 million dollars and can carry drugs, slave traffic, or crash into targets etc.

                    Photo shows the ditching of Ethiopian 767 similar aircraft with wing breaking off.

Myanmar the former Burma in the Northeast is an opium-growing region that was easily reachable and where the plane could land and be hidden. Satellite pings suggest the craft could have flown over Myanmar that has comparatively poor radar capability. Military pilots are trained to avoid enemy radar and a Northern Route at low altitude could be successful in avoiding detection.

 In the middle of the night, two fishermen saw a plane flying low over the South China Sea — at the same time that air traffic controllers lost contact with Flight 370 over the same body of water, at 1:30 a.m. or 50 minutes after takeoff. Fisherman Azid Ibrahim that night saw an airliner off the coast of Kota Bharu, Malaysia flying southwest.

“I was fishing when I saw the plane — it looked strange, flying low. I told my friend that’s not normal. I thought the pilot must be crazy,” Ibrahim said. “It was really low. I saw the lights they looked like the size of a coconut,” he said.

The aircraft carried ELT radios that automatically send out radio signals for 200 miles when they touch water and are easily picked up by satellites. ELT sends out signals 100 to 200 miles broadcasting on 121.5 and 143 MHz for 50 hours. None have been reported indicating the aircraft is not in the water.

 Rolls Royce, the maker of the engines, offers a warranty on its products, so its engines send out signals. If something goes wrong, Rolls Royce wants to know if it was a mechanical failure, pilot error, or violations of acceptable RPM levels for the engines. Someone knew when and where (on the southern arc), this plane went down. That’s why they’re looking where they are. It is likely US Satellites that have excellent cameras know where the plane likely crashed.  The authorities should have been able to determine the minute the engines stopped. And it appears they did.

Under scrutiny are pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, whose homemade flight simulator has been taken by Malaysian police and currently being probed by the FBI, and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, who was identified as the person who said “all right, good night” in the plane’s last communication before disappearing from the radar on March 8. Also believed to be in the cockpit was Selamat the aircraft engineer who had 10 years’ experience.

The captain of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 received a two-minute call shortly before take-off from a “mystery woman” using a mobile phone number she obtained under a false name. The discovery raises fears of a possible link between Captain Shaw 53, and terror groups whose members routinely use untraceable SIM cards. The Captain is estranged from his wife and is an avid supporter of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, a distant relative, who was recently jailed for five years.

The Captain may have attended a controversial court hearing only a few hours before the flight. Captain Shaw is shown here in his Democracy is dead T shirt.  Captain Shaw or his copilot have the ability to make the plane disappear and may have the motivation to embarrass the Malaysian government. The Captain used his home flight simulator to practice extreme landings, including on remote Indian Ocean islands such as the US air base in Diego Garcia, investigators have revealed. Malaysian Police feel the Captain is the only one capable of manually flying and handling the aircraft based on circumstantial evidence.

Virtually all the search assumes the craft crashed into the Indian Ocean south west of Perth, Australia. It appears either the cockpit crew, a catastrophic accident or hijackers are to blame for Flight MH370’s disappearance. DailyMail on Facebook

Relatives in Beijing accused a Malaysian delegation of concealing the truth and making fools out of the families.

 FBI Director Says Disks Recovered.

“We must insist upon full access to disks recovered. For instance, in the La case the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination.”

Former Georgia State Director Passes

John Charles Thompson, owner of Worthy Insurance passed away on January 5, 2014. He was for many years the Georgia MUFON State Director who worked long hours to improve the chapter and investigate sightings. He put up a sign in his business “Have you seen a UFO? He had his own sighting and had many people come into report their sightings, which were often amazing. We talked almost every week for years. He sent me excellent reports concerning his investigations.

John graduated in 1975 from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Geology and was in the Marine Corps for four years. John was a loving husband and devoted father.

John Thompson was my good friend an American Patriot, and true southern gentleman, John was a credit to his community and to MUFON. Our hearts and prayers go out to Ginger and his five wonderful children. John was a great man who will be sorely missed.

 US Reinforcing Allies Next to Russia

A dozen US F-16s deployed to Lask Air Base, Poland, (shown here) for joint exercises aimed at demonstrating America’s commitment to NATO’s collective defense in light of Russia taking over Crimea. “One of our objectives is to develop bonds, so if something happens, and we have to take action in a real-world environment, [we] … have trained together in advance,” said Lt. Col. John Peterson, who commands the expeditionary contingent of F-16s from Aviano AB, Italy. “NATO’s North Atlantic Council, urged Russia “to de-escalate the situation, including ceasing all military activities against Ukraine.” President Obama froze the assets of certain Russian government officials.

NATO is also deploying E-3 AWACs to monitor Russian military activity from Poland and Romania and reported 30,000 Russian troops and tanks massed on the Ukraine border.

US Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces deployed additional F-15s Fighters to Lithuania to augment its NATO air policing rotation last week, and the Navy destroyer USS Truxton began exercises with allies in the Black Sea this week. Thanks to AFA.

Filer’s Files #13 – 2014  Mysterious Disappearances -PART II

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Orbs

Sonoita – Looking for prospecting sites using Google Earth, noticed strange looking colors or orbs, thought they were birds at first but couldn’t find any others in the area on March 19, 2014.. I figured your organization may know what they are…possibly seen them before. The area is in SW Arizona, west of Highway 83, at the end of Highway 229, and roughly at the 11 o’clock position from Sonoita AZ. Attached are screen captures of the area, unknown objects area marked

Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Orbs

 Whittier – I walked from a parking lot to a business on March 19, 2014, and saw about 50 to 70 balloons for 15 minutes. But all at once they all disappeared then reappeared and altered their shape! They were very clear and masking themselves like a swarm of birds and flying in formation like they were very intelligent. They were observing a busy shopping area known as uptown about 2:15 pm. There is absolutely no doubt that these were not of this earth! These looked very much like the many group sightings over Mexico. I am shook up. I am a professional, good health, good vision, 62 years old.

Florida Orb

 Boynton Beach — I decided to go stretch my legs and looking up I spotted this white orb that was brighter than the brightest star at night on March 21, 2014. It was slowly moving so I quickly snapped a photo and then switched to the video. Shortly after it abruptly went backwards, then paused, then back more behind the trees and clouds for a split second before shooting right toward the north and out of view. I stopped recording and quickly went back to the apartment to show my roommates.

Georgia Light

 Dalton – I was outside a nice night and I spotted a large white light off in the distance that was descending at 10:21 pm, on March 21, 2014. I thought it might be a fireball or meteor. But then as fast as it was falling it just stopped about 20 degrees off the horizon. I noticed a smaller star like object come off the large light and move around the larger object then it too just stopped moving as if hovering.

I was like wow, I want to take a picture of this, but my phone was in the house. So I ran into the house hoping when I got back outside it would still be there, and it was so I snapped a picture. Not more than a second after I got the photo both objects disappeared. This object was not close to me, yet it was very large and very bright.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Kentucky Lights

Pendleton County – Thought I’d send a couple pictures from last night. We are still experiencing nightly UFO visitation and I have thousands of pictures. I don’t understand why no one in the UFO Community is interested in what is going on here, but I continue to take pictures and document what we see here in Pendleton County, Ky.

Thank you Glenn Pennington

Maryland Pulsating Object

 Silver Springs — Traveling from D.C. into Maryland on Georgia Avenue the car radio started malfunctioning with lots of static on March 20, 2014. I noticed a very bright pulsating light that looked like an hourglass standing upright. I took two pictures with my IPhone. It was in my sight until I got home and my radio was full of static for my 15 minute drive home.

The object was still in the sky when I got home and I had my teenager come outside to see it. The pictures looks like the two objects split. A lamp post is to the right and the two objects are on the left in the picture.

Nevada Encounter

Las Vegas – Robbin writes, “Several years ago, I had an encounter that I remembered in more detail, but some of my memory was wiped out. I awoke in the middle of the night in my apartment with many humans outside on the sidewalks and on the grass. She heard a low buzz humming sound and saw many white, red, blue, and yellow bright lights. She saw a huge massive mother ship, 200 yards over our heads that was 10 football fields long with a voice speaking through loud speakers. She could hear the voice saying bad things to all people on ground. Small UFO’s in both triangle and disc shape were flying towards us.  I remember feeling scared to death.

 She is not sure of what happened because it was erased from her mind. She had   small paper cuts on her fingers with blistering so she put hydrogen peroxide on all the time so they wouldn’t get infected, It could have been a vivid dream but her hair started thinning and she had small bald patches right on top up front of her head, She moved to California and her hair grew back."

New Jersey Triangle Formation

FLORENCE, BURLINGTON – On March 16, 2014, my 20 year old son and I were driving him back to his school from spring break. We were on the Pennsylvania Turnpike extension, the road between Exit 6 of the New Jersey Turnpike and the Delaware River Turnpike toll bridge. About two miles before the bridge, my son noticed to our left, red and blue lights in the sky and asked if I saw them too.

I spotted 20 to 30 orbs with several red or blue lights surrounding them lined up in a triangle formation following a descending plane. The triangle shape looked massive compared to the plane. My son said, “I saw the orbs fly into the triangle formation. So it appears these lights were individual crafts. I called the Florence Township police, but no one reported seeing them.

New York Orb

New York City — I saw an object flying high among the passenger jets over the NYC on March 24, 2014.

It shined a little bit silver but mostly looked like a white ball.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

 North Carolina Triangle

 Oak Island –I got out of my car and looked up, to see a very bright orange ball of light, almost like a plane headlight but bigger. It was a mile away and looked like an ember that was burning in a fire, brighter and darker all over. Under the ball were two distinctly different red flare-like lights set at 45 degrees from the bottom of the ball in opposing directions. It was swinging like a lantern to the left and right very slightly and rhythmically. It slowly grew dimmer until it went out.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Lights

Fish Lake Area — These photographs were taken on September 2nd, 2012 in the same area after Bigfoot researchers recorded a very long Bigfoot call at 8:30 PM, on September 1st.

 On our way home my home we looked up and saw swarms that were not bees or locusts; we thought they were a swarm of mosquitoes following the road for 7 miles. We knew that this was a highly unusual activity and decided to pull the truck over and park. The first photo shows an oncoming swarm and a light in the sky. The second photo shows three lights in the sky.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Disc

 Philadelphia — I was out on my back doorstep, in the northeast overlooking the Philadelphia Naval Defense Base, on March 23, 2014, about. 12:20 am. I noticed in the night sky, an object, which appeared to be glowing, and blinking, I went and got my binoculars, and zoomed in to see a UFO. I ran to get my video camera, and videotaped a most amazing object, and the most beautiful thing I ever seen! It was doing all kinds of pulses, and light color changes for 15 minutes. The gray object above is on a single frame of the video moving from left to right at high speed.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Rhode Island Triangle

Harrisville – I saw a triangle shaped object hovering with lights on March 20, 2014, at 7:45 PM. I noticed three bright lights in a row, higher up than stadium lights so I turned off onto a side street heading towards the object. I noticed other drivers doing the same. The lights did not move but I could now see another light further back which indicated the triangle shape. Then object began to move slowly and then took off and I lost sight of it over the trees. Thanks to Peter Davenport Director www.UFOCenter.com

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Sightings

 Hope Island, Gold Coast, Queensland — At 8:30 pm, circular object, low in sky – moved erratically and then disappeared – looked like it turned into gas then reappeared (it did this twice) shined a yellow and red light a few times before shining a large light and disappeared for last time on March 11th 2014.

Water Queensland — Last night, March 18th, 2014, image taken by Nikon camera due south in Agnes attached picture distance from the moon and enlarged in fact two images to the right of the picture looks to be another such object. Thanks to Mary Rodwell ACERN www.acern.com.au 

Avondale Heights, Victoria — Driving along Keilor Park Drive on March 12th 2014, at 11.40 pm, I saw two lights that got closer to each other. The lights went vertically toward the ground. After 7-10 seconds the lights were out of site due to it getting lower than the houses blocking the view. The lights went exactly vertically to the ground as if it was dropped’. I saw a previous incident in the same area a while ago regarding 6-7 lights in uniform.

Hampton, Melbourne, Victoria — I was sat outside at 5.45 pm in the garden on March 14, 2014, when I looked up to locate a bird singing, I noticed movement in the sky high above the horizon of the sky heading in from the sea.

I saw a large white sphere moving faster than a plane. I watched it cross the sky high and then half way across; two smaller spheres appeared behind it. The smaller two were close together at first, then separated to become parallel and to flank either side of the bigger sphere from behind. And then they continued across the sky at the same speed, never varying, until they disappeared out of sight. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com

Canada Long Red Objects

South of Elk Point, Alberta — I noticed two long red objects in the sky at 6:05 PM, from my window on February 25th 2014. At first, I thought it was clouds but they did not change shape and the distance between the two never changed. It was very cold that day. I watched to see if they were moving and they were very slowly. They were going in the NW direction. I went outside and took a couple pictures. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com

East York – Toronto, Ontario — I saw a circular object fire orange in color flying very slow and low moving in an unordinary fashion on March 16, 2014. It would go right to left and up and down. A couple of times it would flash and disappear and then reappear with a swirl tail. I have this on film and a picture. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com

 Chile Huge UFO

In a March 18, 2014 report Ricardo Francino Saldivia says, “The UFO seen at the El Yeso Reservoir was twice the size of the National Stadium. The photo of an alleged UFO in Chile has left more than one viewer startled after that country’s Comité de Estudios de Fenómenos Aéreos Anomalos (CEFAA) confirmed its authenticity. The image was taken above El Yeso Reservoir by a Venezuelan couple and investigated by CEFFA through its Director General, retired General Ricardo Bermudez.

After considerable research this photograph is considered real and not a hoax. Second, that the incidence of the light in these clouds is the same as that which falls upon the object. Third, that it has its own light, and therefore a series of portholes are visible. This is according to our Ph.D in meteorology. “It is a real unidentified flying object with eyewitness accounts to support it; we receive over a thousand reports each year that are being studied because it is real and occurring worldwide, “notes Bermudez, who was a military pilot for the Chilean Air Force.

CEFAA, created in 1997, is a branch of the General Secretariat of the General Office of Civil Aeronautics in Chile. Its mission is to compile, analyze and study all reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena “through scientific investigation in order to determine whether the safety of air operations have been jeopardized in Chile.” [Translation © 2014 S.

 Colombia lenticular UFO.

Bogota — I was smoking a cigarette at my 4th floor apartment‘s balcony when I saw an opalescent white disc flying at constant speed, let’s say 100 Km/h or more and 100 to 150 meters above, with no sound and directed north pm March 19, 2014, at 22:46 hours. At first, I thought it was a balloon but it didn’t have any oscillatory movement and a few seconds later I realized that it was lens-shaped. I couldn’t follow its path because it passed over the building.

I am 43 years old, physician in Biomedical Sciences and work as a biomedical researcher in a local hospital.

Mexico Lights Mysterious Video

Yucatan — The videographer says he recorded the shining object at 22:00 hours on 11 February 2014. “I’m not saying it’s a spaceship, but it is an unidentified flying object that I recorded for 1:30 minutes – that shows a light in the sky that comes and goes.

Netherlands Objects

 Culemborg — I was in a car on March 21, 2014, with the radio on and saw the big rolling invisible things (left upper corner) are HAARP UFO’s. They are shooting in and out of the clouds, no sound was heard. I thought it was invisible flying objects that I now think black ones and violet ones at different distances and different directions. Some are so incredible fast, you could only see them if you played the video step by step. I filmed four minutes, and witnessed it for an hour and saw reports from other people. The light flashes and UFO’s went on at least until 8 pm. Video is corrupt.

New Zealand Object

Manakau, Manawatu-Wanganui — Round object travelling in a straight line at high speed, hard to see as it seemed a long distance away on March. There were 2 flashes of light from it, about 5 seconds apart on March 10, 2014 at 9.15 pm.

South Africa Black Object

Roodekrans, Roodepoort, GautengI went outside with our dogs at 6:10 pm on 15th March 2014 and looked into the sky and above the swallows was a black object. It was flying in a straight path so I called my daughter to come and we watched it go right across the sky. It was underneath the clouds as it passed. I am wondering if this is the same object we have seen on three previous occasions this year. At night it is an orange color with the same shape. Just wondering if in day light the object is black but at night it could have lights to reflect the orange glow. No sound at all.

UK/ England Cylindrical

Eastbourne, East Sussex — I was having a smoke with my girlfriend at 9:30 PM in her back garden, when I noticed bright red and blue lights on March 9th 2014. It was maneuvering very fast, up and down and from side to side…and then ascended very rapidly, then descended swiftly behind some houses. We both then saw it again for about ten minutes, moving very quickly from right to left, then drop quickly again behind some houses.

I worked with helicopters in the RAF, and have never seen any aircraft maneuver or move this fast. The lights were not anti collision or navigation lights and were extremely bright. My girlfriend thought this was strange. Thanks to John Hayes www.UFOinfo.com

 Corby — I was in the bedroom when I had a compulsion to take a photograph, when I lifted the camera to the window the first object was in the picture on October 6, 2013.  I took the first picture. In disbelief I looked and could not see the object with my eyes. I then looked back to the camera and captured the object flying away in 4 more pictures as it changed shape. In the 6th picture is a much larger anomalous object in the cloud line. When I reviewed the pictures in all honesty my first thought when I saw the first object was the realization of what I had photographed.

Vietnam Boomerang

 Da Nang — My girlfriend and I were sitting on the beach, about 100 meters north of Dana Beach resort on March 18, 2014. .

We were sitting and talking when she saw something in the sky directly overhead. I looked up and was seeing a very large boomerang shaped craft moving at a steady speed and straight line to the north, towards Son Tra Mountain. It didn’t fit anything I’ve seen in the sky before.

The object was extremely large and totally silent and had no lights. The object appeared below the top layer of clouds, but well above the bottom layer. The outline was clearly visible in a perfect boomerang shape. When passing in front of stars, it blacked them out. The color was a grayish white and actually looked almost ‘smoky’ like it had some kind of ‘active camouflage’. It appeared to be a craft that was designed not to be seen.

It maintained a steady, smooth speed as it passed overhead to the north and we lost it as it blended in to the cloud cover. I’m a climber with lots of experience with high altitudes and weird looking cloud formations. This was nothing I could explain, no matter how hard I tried. If it were an airplane of some kind, its relative size was too big. To look that big it would have to be flying at 100 meters altitude and would have been extremely loud. The size, speed, perfect shape, altitude, lack of lights, clear straight line flight path… all of this didn’t add up to any aircraft I’ve ever heard of. Da Nang has an active airport I’m familiar their aircraft.

Then I saw a second boomerang craft for 20 seconds before it blended in to the clouds to the north. It looked exactly like the first one came 15 minutes after the first one, at 7:00 PM on the dot.

Secret UFO files of the Italian Air Force subject of new book

(Before It's News)

UFOs- The Italian Dossier book cover. (Credit: Ugo Mursia Editore)

Two Italian journalists have scoured newly declassified files of the Italian Air Force in order to find the juiciest UFO files for their new book, UFO, I dossier italiani (UFOs – The Italian Dossier).

Italian journalists Lao Petrilli and Vincenzo Sinapi say they looked through thousands of documents to find UFO reports from all over Italy. They say reports came in from all types of people, including airline pilots, jet fighter pilots, the police, military, and even priests.

The files were previously stamped as Secret or Confidential, and have been saved for reference in regards to flight safety. They say many of the files were previously unpublished.

The records begin in the 70s, although according to the Italian newspaper Il Mattino, the Italian Air Force began investigating UFOs in the 50s. Another Italian newspaper, Gazzeta Di Parma, says the book includes 56 UFO reports from the last 4 years, “with a real boom in 2010 (22 cases) and a decline in 2011 (17) and 2012 (10).”

Il Mattino summarized some of the sightings from the Campania region of Southern Italy, whose capital is the city of Naples. One of these was in the town of Grazzanise, the home of one of Italy’s most important military airports. On February 8, 2005, a flight controller registered a UFO on radar. A C130 transport aircraft flying in the area confirmed the presence of the UFO.

Another case in Campania took place in the town of Cesa on June 15, 2011 at 4:37 pm. A 27 year-old student and his mother were awoken by a loud noise. The student says they saw a bright glowing ball outside their window. He went to the balcony to get a close look.

The ball hovered only a few feet away, near the ground, illuminating their garden. The object then moved in a zigzag pattern and shot upwards and vanished. The incident lasted two minutes. The student described the object as “an electrical discharge like a lightning bolt.”

The Facebook page for the book also lists some of the sightings. One of them was seen by passengers of an Alpieagles airlines aircraft. The pilot says that they were headed from Palermo to Naples International Airport in a Fokker 100 jet. They were beginning to descend into the airport when an orange and white UFO flew by going the opposite direction.

Gazzeta Di Parma highlighted a few stories from the book from 2013 reported by the military. The first was in Rome at the beginning of the year. A medical officer reported seeing several elliptical lights traveling at “various heights, course and speed.” He watched them for 50 minutes before they disappeared.

In May, two men reported seeing “an object of diamond-shaped dark-colored, suspended about 50 meters high.” The sighting took place in St. George Albanian. They say the object eventually flew into the ground causing a fire. There was no trace of the UFO found.

In 2013, a restaurateur in Chiesa spotted a bowling pin shaped object in the sky that he was afraid to report. However, to his surprise, the police station commander said he had seen the same thing in August, 2012 with two children.

Other sightings in 2013 included triangle shaped objects near Rome and Soncino, as well as a fleet of UFOs seen by a young man in Cremona. Gazzeta Di Parma listed other dates with short descriptions of the 56 sightings from the last four years included in the book.

Petrilli and Sinapi say they did not evaluate the sightings, they just give the facts. However, the sightings are of cases that have thus far gone unexplained.

UFO mania: The Eerie Alaskan Pyramid Investigated (Video)

N.Morgan) An amazing mystery that has resurfaced is the 14,000 year old pyramid unearthed in structure at Gobekli Tepi in Turkey would have been considered impossible by archaeologists.Similarly, to this day some Egyptologists dispute the true age of the Sphinx, which has been confirmed by geologists.There are many mysteries about Gobekli Tepi, chief among them the fact that its creators expended even more effort to bury it than they did to build it. Remarkably a similar pyramid was unearthed near Mount McKinley in Alaska. The video presentation below gives an astounding account of this mystery and what it means for archeology.

MYSTERIOUS ALIEN LIGHT BUZZES AIR FORCE RECON AIRCRAFT

(Before It's News)

MYSTERIOUS ALIEN LIGHT BUZZES AIR FORCE RECON AIRCRAFT

 JULY 1975  …..   GULF COAST

These six men were on a training/test exercise in an RB-47H electronic countermeasures reconnaissance aircraft. The RB-47, while originally developed as a bomber, was also used extensively as a reconnaissance aircraft. One was shot down by the Soviet Union while on such a mission in 1960.  This particular mission began at Forbes AFB in Topeka, Kansas as an exercise including gunnery exercises over the Texas-Gulf area, navigation exercises over the open Gulf, and Electronic CounterMeasures exercises on the return trip across the south-central U.S.  The men participating were soon to depart for Germany and duty there. It should be noted that the ECM equipment was not radar. It did not emit a signal and then pick up reflected echoes off of an object. Rather, it detected electromagnetic signals that were actually emitted by an object itself. The purpose of this was to detect and locate enemy radar installations. On this aircraft, the #2 monitor consisted of a direction finder with antenna on the lower rear of the aircraft, and the #1 monitor consisted of a direction finder with antennas on each wingtip of the aircraft. The #3 monitor was not involved in the events of July 17, because its range did not include the frequencies involved. The first contact with the unknown object was before 4:00 AM CST. The first two parts of the mission had been completed, and the aircraft was just leaving the airspace over the Gulf of Mexico near Gulfport, Mississippi, when Frank McClure, on the #2 ECM monitor, detected an airborne signal to the right rear of the aircraft, out over the Gulf of Mexico. The signal was of a type usually confined to ground-based radar installations. It was at 2800 megacycles, a common frequency for S-band search radar. McClure at first thought that his scope must be 180° out of alignment and that he must be picking up a ground-based radar station in Louisiana, which would actually be to the left front of the aircraft. As he watched, the signal moved up the scope, as it would if the scope was 180° out of alignment. However, he was amazed to see that, after it had moved up the scope on the right-hand side of the aircraft, it then crossed the path of the RB-47 and proceeded to move down the scope on the left-hand side. In other words, whatever was emitting the signal flew a ring around the RB-47, which was flying at approximately 500 mph. Even if the scope was 180° out of alignment, the signal source still moved completely around the aircraft, which no ground radar could do. McClure said and did nothing at this time, not mentioning the signal to the other crew members. The signal faded as they flew north.

The RB-47 made a scheduled turn to the west over Jackson, Mississippi and the crew was preparing to begin a series of simulated ECM operations against Air Force ground radar units, when suddenly the pilot, Lewis Chase, saw a light coming in from the left, at approximately the same altitude as the RB-47. At first he thought it was another plane, but it was only a single white light, closing fast. He gave the command to prepare for evasive maneuvers, but the light flashed across from left to right so fast that no such action could have been taken. It then blinked out at a point to the right front of the aircraft. Both Chase and Copilot James McCoid observed this. At this point, approximately 4:10 AM CST, they were approximately over Winnsboro, Louisiana.  Chase told the other crewmembers what he had seen, and McClure now told him about his earlier signal reading. At 4:30 AM, McClure set his scope to detect signals near 3000 mcs again, and he detected a strong signal at the same location in relation to the RB-47 that Chase had last seen the light. He and Provenzano checked the alignment of the #2 monitor by tuning in on known ground radar installations and found it to be in perfect working order. At 4:30 AM, Provenzano tuned his own monitor, #1, to 3000 mcs, and found that his equipment detected a signal at the same location. What’s more, he and McClure found that the signal was staying in the same position, keeping pace with the RB-47, which was still flying at 500 mph. This meant that it was not a signal from a ground-based radar.

By this time they had reached the Duncanville, Texas area. At 4:39, Chase spotted a huge light to the right front of the RB-47 an about 5,000 feet below the aircraft’s 34,500 feet altitude. The weather was perfectly clear. At 4:40, McClure reported two signals, at 40° and 70°. Chase and McCoid reported seeing red lights at those locations. Chase contacted radar Station Utah at Duncanville, Texas and requested permission to abandon his flight plan and pursue the lights, which he received. At 4:48 AM, radar station Utah requested the position of the signals that McClure was receiving, and they immediately confirmed that their radar had detected the objects at the same location. As the RB-47 attempted to pursue, the object appeared to stop suddenly. Chase could see that they were gaining on it, and they over shot it.  At 4:52 it blinked out, and simultaneously vanished from McClure’s scope and the ground radar! Chase put the aircraft into a port turn, and the object suddenly blinked on again, simultaneously reappearing on McClure’s scope and the ground radar at 4:52! They began to close to within 5 miles of the object, when it suddenly dropped to 15,000 feet and then blinked out again, once again vanishing from the scopes and ground radar. At 4:55, Chase radioed Utah radar station that they had to break of pursuit and continue with their scheduled flight plan due to low fuel. At 4:57 McClure picked up the signal again, and at 4:58 Chase made visual contact again. As they headed into Oklahoma, McClure continued to receive a signal, now from the rear of the aircraft, until it finally faded as they neared Oklahoma City. The Director of Intelligence, 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing, stated in his report that he had: …no doubt the electronic D/F’s coincided exactly with visual observations by aircraft cmdr numerous times, thus indicating positively the object being the signal source.

Daily 2 Cents: New TV Series About Area 51 — Swedish ‘Rat From Hell’ — Cell Tower Vanishes!

(Before It's News)

X-Files creator producing new series about Area 51

AMC announced that Chris Carter, best known for creating the science-fiction drama The X-Files, is now attached to a dramatic television series about the notorious top secret military installation known as Area 51.

The network ordered a pilot episode for this series back in July 2012. And, at that time, it was announced that series would be based on a book titled Area 51, an uncensored history of America’s TOP SECRET military base by Annie Jacobsen. Judging by AMC’s recently announced slate of new programming, that basis has not changed. But the project has reportedly now officially moved into development.

The Hollywood Reporter describes the series as “A contemporary conspiracy thriller revealing the true story behind the infamous Area 51, America’s most mysterious military installation.” And the working title for the series is simply Area 51.

Carter is coming aboard the show as its writer and executive producer. He joins The Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd who was already attached to the project.

Jacobsen’s 2011 book is controversial because she makes many questionable assertions. Most notably is the inclusion of an explanation for what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. She claims an anonymous witness informed her that the craft recovered at Roswell was actually an advanced German aircraft, and that the bodies recovered from the crash were children that had been mutilated by infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. This craft was allegedly ordered over the U.S. by Joseph Stalin, hoping to trick Americans into thinking it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft, which would result in a mass panic similar to the one caused by the 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds.

It was originally announced that Jacobsen would serve as a co-producer of the show. There has been no word about whether that is still the case as the show moves into full development. – OpenMinds

Swedes catch 40cm ‘rat from hell’ in their kitchen

A Stockholm family was horrified to find a monster “viking” rat living in their kitchen. Pest controllers who were called in to catch the beast found it measured 40 centimetres (15 inches) – not including the tail. The family in Solna, north of Stockholm, had no idea what was in store when their pet cat was too scared to go into the kitchen. “We thought it could be a little mouse, but after a while we figured it couldn’t be because it was making too much noise,” Signe Bengtsson said.

Her worst fears were confirmed while emptying the rubbish a few days later when she saw a rat guzzling leftovers under the sink. “It was right there in our rubbish bin, a mighty monster. I was petrified. I couldn’t believe such a big rat could exist,” she said. “I couldn’t help but do the old classic and jump on the kitchen table and scream.” Her husband Erik Korsås who was away at the time was dubious that such an enormous rat could really be living in his kitchen. “When my wife called I said ‘Yeah, sure, take it easy, I’ll be home on Sunday. But by then it had jumped into the waste bin and had a Swedish smörgåsbord with all the leftovers,” he said.

As the rat made more appearances over the next day, the family took to stomping around as they passed the kitchen to ensure they wouldn’t meet the rat from hell again. “By the time I got home, the rat was so domesticated that it just sat under the kitchen table,” Korsås explained, adding that it had chewed through the water pipes connected to the dishwater and started a small flood. When the family saw the rat scurrying into a nook behind the dishwasher, they put the kitchen on lockdown and called the pest controllers, who arrived with three heavy-duty traps.

The rat was caught by the neck soon after, but didn’t die immediately and scurried away behind the dishwasher again. Bengtsson called her husband home to deal with the creature, which later died. He measured the rat to be 39.5 centimetres from nose to the start of its tail. “The kids were afraid it would come back to life as some sort of zombie rat. They didn’t want to touch it,” Korsås added. It turned out that the rat had found its way into the apartment cellars by chewing through cement and wood, the pest controllers explained. “It was quite a shocking experience,” Bengtsson added. “No one wanted to go into the kitchen after, and the cat was terrified for a week. The pest controllers said they’d never seen such a big rat before.” – The Local SE

Yellowstone Park Volcano Dying?

Yellowstone Park is home to the largest volcano in the world. But, is this massive geological formation dying?

Ken Sims of the University of Wyoming led a research team to study the gigantic volcano at the Yellowstone Caldera. There, they sampled water and air near Mammoth Hot Springs. They also ran tests on water from the feature, looking at acidity in water samples and radon in the air. Sims looked at how gas and water mix as the rise from under the ground. By understanding these processes, researchers hope to improve techniques to predict eruptions.

According to the study, the supervolcano may be slowly dying out. The last time the volcano erupted was 70,000 years ago. That event was relatively small compared to previous eruptions, which occurred hundreds of thousands of years before that time.

Geologists believe an eruption of the supervolcano could send 2,000 times more debris into the air than Mount Saint Helen’s did when it erupted in 1980.
Conditions at the volcano have remained relatively steady since monitoring began 30 years ago, according to the National Park Service. Over 10,000 geysers, hot springs and mud pots help drain heat from the feature, which stretches over parts of three states. Rad more at Tech Times

Cell Tower Vanishes!

10/22/2012: We were delivering newspapers in downtown Littlestown,Pa. on the eastern edge of town at about 4:45 AM,when we came to a stop sign facing south.At this time,we observed a configuration of white lights in a diamond shape with all the lights equal distant apart.The lights were solid white and at the top and bottom there was an additional white light that pulsated together like a heartbeat.All we could see was the lights.At first,we thought it was a celltower because they were stationary.After further thought we realized celltowers have RED lights,NOT white.We returned to the site about 5 minutes later and the lights were gone.We were really confused now.Why,if this was a celltower,did the lights go out?We returned to the site the next day after sunrise and found nothing but an EMPTY FIELD.NO structure,NO ANYTHING!!!To this day it bothers me greatly.I am a man who uses deductive reasoning to figure things out.THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS.Whatever this was,it made no noise at all.It was approximately 400 feet from us and maybe 200 feet in altitude. I will never forget this experience EVER!I remember it like it happened yesterday. – MUFON CMS

NASA Reveals: Massive Object ‘Lurking on Edge of Solar System

(Before It's News)

Scientists using ground based observatories have discovered a dwarf planet that is believed to have the most distant orbit found beyond the known edge of our solar system. Named 2012 VP113

Our known solar system consists of the rocky planets like Earth, which are close to the sun; the gas giant planets, which are further out; and the frozen objects of the Kuiper belt, which lie just beyond Neptune’s orbit. Beyond this, there appears to be an edge to the solar system where only one object somewhat smaller than Pluto, Sedna, was previously known to inhabit for its entire orbit. But the newly found 2012 VP113 has an orbit that stays even beyond Sedna, making it the furthest known in the solar system.

Both Sedna and 2012 VP113 were found near their closest approach to the sun, but they both have orbits that go out to hundreds of AU, at which point they would be too faint to discover.  The similarity in the orbits found for Sedna, 2012 VP113 and a few other objects near the edge of the Kuiper Belt suggests the new object’s orbit might be influenced by the potential presence of a yet unseen planet perhaps up to 10 times the size of Earth.

GREEN LASER SCANS CALIFORNIA COUPLE'S HOME! by Roger Marsh.

A Hamilton City, CA, couple reported feeling an "extraterrestrial attempt" after watching a green laser grid-like pattern that appeared to be scanning their home, according to March 24, 2014, testimony in Case 54907 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database. The couple was outside in their backyard about 10:30 p.m. on March 22, 2014, when they noticed the green laser "pulsating and scanning" the back side of their home. More...

HERMOSILLO UFO WAS JUST A PRANK by Scott Corrales.

Mexico, Hermosillo, 11 March – An unidentified flying object caused hundreds of citizens to travel to the outskirts of the state capital of Sonora to see the lights that rose capriciously into the sky for three hours. In the end, it was just a prank. Around 19:00 hours, residents of several districts located to the south of Hermosillo reported seeing various multicolored lights flying in formation over the city. The word “OVNI” (UFO) quickly became a trending topic on Twitter and Facebook. More... Also read: A FLYING OBJECT AS LARGE AS TWO SOCCER STADIUMS

TRAVEL BANS AND SANCTIONS ANNOUNCED BY EU AND US CAUSES TENSIONS ON THE SPACE STATION by Carolyn Shield.

Travel Bans and sanctions announced by EU and US causes tensions on the Space Station. Today, it was announced by US and EU that sanctions have been placed on Russia. One wonders if the travel bans include scientists who travel to the ISS. The Russian crew and international crew members are placed in a difficult situation. Sanctions are a first step to declaring war on a nation. Russian’s assets are being confiscated by the EU and US. More...

UFOS, DISTINGUISHING REAL INFORMATION FROM DISINFORMATION by Nick Redfern.

My recent article on how the UFO subject (and specifically the issue of “alien bodies on ice“) has been used as a tool of disinformation has provoked a lot of people to email, Twitter and Facebook me on this thorny, controversial issue. And many of those same people seem to be missing the point. Hardly surprising, since disinformation is a murky mixture of fact and fiction. It’s chiefly designed to confuse the targeted individual or group – whether the Nazis during the Second World War, the Soviets at the height of the Cold War, or, in today’s world, maniacs who want to provoke terror.

UFO DIGEST BOOK REVIEW: LORIE BARNES' "THINGS SEEN & UNSEEN" By HAROLD EGELN by Robert Morningstar.

The dance of UFOs in the skies, the uncertain song of UFO contact and the mysterious theater of their performances prancing upon the human stage still puzzles the preplexed inhabitants of this world, Spaceship Earth. The close encounter experience is an incredibly diverse, challenging and enigmatic drama, both upfront and deeply subtle, without any definite answers. Many of its experiencers, straddling hidden whispery realms that shake them up, are exposed, unwilling or not, to an amazing wide variety of encounters. More...

1970 UFO SIGHTING HAD TWO BEINGS IN ALIEN COCKPIT by Cheryl Costa.

It was twilight on a warm Sunday evening in mid-June 1970 in East Aurora, NY. Patrick’s mom and sister were fussing with something in the garage, but eleven year old Patrick didn’t care about that. He was blissfully involved with shooting baskets in the driveway before bedtime. He was dribbling back to his shooting position when he noticed an odd light coming toward him. His first impression was that it was just a low flying airplane or maybe a helicopter. He thought to himself, that’s no big deal. More...

COULD UFO DISCLOSURE ACTUALLY BE FABRICATIONS? by Doc Vega.

In the long and convoluted history of the UFO enigma one must surely question not only the government’s cover-ups that have existed, but even if the supposed disclosures are more than meet the eye. With each new revelation are questions that should be posed. Are these, at times, vague or even fantastic depictions of extraterrestrial activity really authentic or are they an example of counter intelligence tactics? There are two very real possibilities in all this. 1) Either many of these crashes, sightings, and abductions are true 2) Perhaps these are false stories manufactured by government intelligence agencies to socially engineer society away from its belief in God, to accelerate social change, or to manipulate our core belief systems as a conditioning process for world government domination.

REINCARNATION AND ALIEN ABDUCTEES by Paul Schroeder.

Many tens of thousands of alien abductees the world over awaken in bed exhausted, to experience copious nosebleeds, yellow stains on their pillows, scars and scoop marks on their skin, subcutaneous implants and fearful, vivid recall of large eyed bug- like nonhuman entities, eyeball to eyeball, who are nighttime bedroom intruders and who pilot UFOs. More...

HUMAN EXTRATERRESTRIALS by Jim Bowden.

There are human extraterrestrials and they look like us. Their eyes are a little larger than ours and I assume that is the result of their physical evolution. They have been around far longer than the human species which we represent. In fact, they are our ancestors. I first met them in The Ringer. The Ringer is both a mental and physical extraterrestrial realm where I was taught, tested, tortured, tricked, and almost died on two occasions. More...

MORE SIGNIFICANT OBSERVATIONS RELATING TO ANIMAL MUTILATIONS by AJ.

The subject of animal mutilations is inherently distasteful, if not repugnant, to most people. It’s hard to imagine why anyone would inflict cruelty upon helpless creatures, especially those which are solely dependent upon us for their existence. Yet, there is considerable evidence to suggest that a deliberate and premeditated assault on both domestic and wild animals has been ongoing for several decades. Since livestock, particularly cattle, have been the most frequent victims of these mutilations, the phenomenon has come to be known as “cattle mutilations.” What is striking to this researcher is that so little progress has been made over the years in determining the nature and source of these mutilations.

SPRING RITES by Louis Hart.

Ah, springtime. I always look forward to the arrival of this season. It is such a special time of the year. Although things haven’t budded out up here in the mountains, indications are that soon that will change. In years past I often performed special rites in conjunction with the Spring Equinox. This year, however, I simply walked around making contact with Mother Earth and her Elementals. Especially with the element of air, to which I am closely associated. More...

Dolphin whistle instantly translated by computer

by Hal Hodson

Software has performed the first real-time translation of a dolphin whistle – and better data tools are giving fresh insights into primate communication too

IT was late August 2013 and Denise Herzing was swimming in the Caribbean. The dolphin pod she had been tracking for the past 25 years was playing around her boat. Suddenly, she heard one of them say, "Sargassum".

"I was like whoa! We have a match. I was stunned," says Herzing, who is the director of the Wild Dolphin Project. She was wearing a prototype dolphin translator called Cetacean Hearing and Telemetry (CHAT) and it had just translated a live dolphin whistle for the first time.

It detected a whistle for sargassum, or seaweed, which she and her team had invented to use when playing with the dolphin pod. They hoped the dolphins would adopt the whistles, which are easy to distinguish from their own natural whistles – and they were not disappointed. When the computer picked up the sargassum whistle, Herzing heard her own recorded voice saying the word into her ear.

As well as boosting our understanding of animal behaviour, the moment hints at the potential for using algorithms to analyse any activity where information is transmitted – including our daily activities (see "Scripts for life").

"It sounds like a fabulous observation, one you almost have to resist speculating on. It's provocative," says Michael Coen, a biostatistician at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Herzing is quick to acknowledge potential problems with the sargassum whistle. It is just one instance and so far hasn't been repeated. Its audio profile looks different from the whistle they taught the dolphins – it has the same shape but came in at a higher frequency. Brenda McCowan of the University of California, Davis, says her experience with dolphin vocalisations matches that observation.

Thad Starner at the Georgia Institute of Technology and technical lead on the wearable computer Google Glass, built CHAT for Herzing with a team of graduate students. Starner and Herzing are using pattern-discovery algorithms, designed to analyse dolphin whistles and extract meaningful features that a person might miss or not think to look for. As well as listening out for invented whistles, the team hopes to start trying to figure out what the dolphins' natural communication means, too.

McCowan says it's an exciting time for the whole field of animal communication. With better information-processing tools, researchers can analyse huge data sets of animal behaviour for patterns.

Coen is already doing something like this with white-cheeked gibbons. Using similar machine-learning techniques to those used by Starner and McCowan, he has found 27 different fundamental units in gibbon calls.

McCowan, meanwhile, has recently modelled the behaviour of rhesus macaques at the National Primate Research Center in California. The idea is to predict when the macaques would descend into the violent social unrest known as "cage war" that often leads to the death of the alpha family.

Her team started collecting data, making 37,000 observations of key signs of dominance, subordination and affiliation over three years. Among other things, their analysis showed that cage stability improved if new young adult males were introduced now and again as they seemed to grow into "policing" roles. "You had to look at the data," McCowan says. "It wasn't something a human could see."

Terrence Deacon, an anthropologist and neuroscientist at the University of California, Berkeley, explains that some pattern of repetition is a basic requirement when information is transmitted. In other words, if Herzing's dolphins or McCowan's macaques are exchanging information, if their behaviour is not just random, meaningless noise, then there must be some discoverable patterns. Information theory can find out what those pattern are, which parts of a whistle are important, helping behaviourists figure out what animals are communicating.

The first results from Starner and Herzing's work on dolphin communication-processing are due to be presented at the speech and signal processing conference in Florence, Italy, in May. Last summer's work was cut short because the team lost the dolphin pod, but they did make some progress. Starner's algorithms discovered eight different components in a sample of 73 whistles. It's still preliminary, but they were able to match certain strings of those components with mother-calf interactions, for instance. The work has let them plan for the coming summer when they want to confirm two-way communication between humans and dolphins.

Deacon is excited to see if such work can lead to a better understanding of animal cultures. He suspects much animal communication will turn out to be basic pointing or signposting rather than more complex language. But humans often communicate on a basic level too. "I don't see a fundamental white line that distinguishes us from other animals," he says.

Stargazer and Mt Annan resident Raksha Martinovic said she and her husband were looking up at the stars at 11.15pm on March 22 when they spotted strange lights in the sky.

The latest sighting comes after a wave of UFO activity in the Macarthur region last December, when a local business owner said they spotted a mysterious light drift across the sky late at night.

These claims were again substantiated by a skywatcher in Cleveland, south east of Brisbane, and across the Pacific Ocean in California.

Mrs Martinovic said her extraterrestrial experience lasted for over two hours.

“The light was just hovering around and disappeared, then came back and disappeared again,” she said. “This drama lasted for two hours.”

Despite the spate of flying saucer spottings, Macarthur Astronomical Society spokesman John Rombi said what people consider a UFO could just be a meteor or space junk.

“As astronomers we can identify the majority of things we see in the sky, but not everyone is this well trained and when they see something like this, their first thought is to call it a UFO,” he said.

Area 51 Bombshells Revealed By Annie Jacobsen On Trunews

(Before It's News)

By Susan Duclos

Rick Wiles at TRUNEWS was joined by investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen on March 24, 2014, for a riveting show on her findings after interviews with 19 men who served at the uber secretive Area 51 base in Nevada, secretly for decades, and Jacobsen had “unprecedented access to fifty-five additional military and intelligence personnel, scientists, pilots, and engineers linked to the secret base.”

Jacobsen is introduced and the discussion starts about Area 51 at the 19:45 minute mark in the video/audio below.

Jacobsen is the author of “Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base”

(AGS) Artificial genetic sequencing may create new life forms.

(Before It's News)

Extraordinary (Artificial Intelligence/ADNA)

Artificial genetic sequencing may create new life forms.

In the future an extraordinary intelligent system will be produced and deployed in robots for use in deep space exploration (and this critical).  These intelligent systems will be more complex then any robotic technology being perceived or developed today.  These advanced systems will contain a new form of artificial DNA that provides these systems with the capability to adapt more readily to various environments.  This objective will be accomplished using special microelectronic and electrochemical technologies that mimic and replicate artificial cellular production, and likewise forms artificial genetic sequences and resulting ADNA.  A brief description of this technology is described and illustrated hereafter.   

This intelligence system and structure is divided into (5) levels of growth and distribution, whereas level-1 (parental L1), level-2 (cellular groups/subsystems L2), level-3 (systems L3), level-4 (the brain L4), and level-5 (universal L5).

Brief overview of this extraordinary technology,

Parental cellular units extract (need) inputs, and in doing so produce individual cells whose objective is to pursue other (inputs) or variations as to fulfill these needs.  The parental cellular units of (level-1) will produce “artificial cells”, where the commonality among these cells is used to mimic cellular bonding and thereby creating an artificial biological cohesion.  The cohesion of these cellular structures will produce the subsystems necessary for self sustaining and fulfilling the needs for environmental adaptation (or otherwise using microelectronic and electrochemical interfaces for such purposes).  In (level-2) of this intelligence system, bonding is formed between various parental cellular units using a process known as “bridges of commonalty”.  These interconnections and resulting sequences are used to form cellular groups with specific and shared common needs.  This process in part is used for the early development and formation of genetic structures for which later will form “subsystems”.  The commonality among variations (or inputs) of the cell groups produced by the parental units is used for measuring input consistency.  Those cells not consistent amongst the group will be placed into some temporary stage known as “hibernation”.   

The cellular stage of hibernation is due to the rejection of various inputs (variations) based on genetic sequences and common needs, and the inability to “adapt” within the environment, or otherwise cellular adaptation for biological cohesion.  When cellular bonding reaches (level-3) some “system” is formed from earlier cellular bonding of subsystems, whereas these newly formed systems contain specific genetic sequences with structural formations and needs.  The level of cellular hibernation will determine rejection or whether further variations (inputs) are necessary for commonality and likewise adaptation.  Hibernation of this type evolves through stages as to form emotions through electrochemical influences (interface).  Influences are the adhesion (biological cohesion) that starts integrating these cells, cell groups, and subsystems to form additional “structured needs”.  Thereafter (level-4) is the formation of the ‘brain’ where all these subsystems are integrated to “function as unified system”.  Cellular hibernation evolves as an involuntary response associated with electrochemical inputs for emotional response, other types of emotions are voluntary and these based on viable options (input variations) to needs.  And lastly, the cellular to subsystem formations have specific genetic sequences and code (residual and active memory).  The integration of these genetic structures into this system creates the formation of an Artificial DNA.   

What is being illustrated?

The basic model for creating an (Artificial DNA with Intelligence).

The above described is merely a sample of what is far more complex.

X-Files creator producing new series about Area 51

(Before It's News)

AMC announced that Chris Carter, best known for creating the science-fiction drama The X-Files, is now attached to a dramatic television series about the notorious top secret military installation known as Area 51.

The network ordered a pilot episode for this series back in July 2012. And, at that time, it was announced that series would be based on a book titled Area 51, an uncensored history of America’s TOP SECRET military base by Annie Jacobsen. Judging by AMC’s recently announced slate of new programming, that basis has not changed. But the project has reportedly now officially moved into development.

The Hollywood Reporter describes the series as “A contemporary conspiracy thriller revealing the true story behind the infamous Area 51, America’s most mysterious military installation.” And the working title for the series is simply Area 51.

Carter is coming aboard the show as its writer and executive producer. He joins The Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd who was already attached to the project.

Jacobsen’s 2011 book is controversial because she makes many questionable assertions. Most notably is the inclusion of an explanation for what crashed near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. She claims an anonymous witness informed her that the craft recovered at Roswell was actually an advanced German aircraft, and that the bodies recovered from the crash were children that had been mutilated by infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele. This craft was allegedly ordered over the U.S. by Joseph Stalin, hoping to trick Americans into thinking it was an extraterrestrial spacecraft, which would result in a mass panic similar to the one caused by the 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds.

It was originally announced that Jacobsen would serve as a co-producer of the show. There has been no word about whether that is still the case as the show moves into full development.

Reptilian Encounter at Brooks Lake, WY

(Before It's News)

I recently received the following statement:

I am sending this experience and you will be the second person  I have ever told about this. The first person went back here the summer after I told him about this and has NEVER talked to me about my story or his trip back there. We slowly lost contact over time and I think this is the reason why.

In 1978 I was Elk hunting west of a town called Dubois in Wyoming. I was on my way back to town for a hot meal, gas and restock my food supplies, as I was camping in a tent in the back country. I was on the highway going west of town coming in and found a man wearing only hunting shoes, heavy shirt and goose down vest. In Wyoming in the middle of October then this was definitely under dressed! They day time temps were at a high of the 30′s at best, and nights were in single digits or lower. Well he got out in the road and started waving his arms wildly and begging stop, I saw his eyes had trail of tears on his face trailing down in the dirt on it. I pulled over to the side of the deserted road to see what his problem was, I thought it might be a wreck on the icy spots of the highway. Little did I know this would change my life thinking and the way I hunted by myself up here forever….

He ran to my side of the pickup and I could see he was very scared about something. He grasped the pickup and begged me with tears in his eyes to take him to town. I couldn’t say no to this man, I asked him if he was in a wreck or something he said “No just please get me out of here, I need to go somewhere safe.” I thought odd that he would say this and as I had my right hand on a pistol in my lap (guys you never know) I said to get in. He looked around at the treeline along the roadway and again ran to the passenger side of the pickup. As he was coming around the truck I put the pistol in in a side pocket of the door and he got inside and locked the door and made sure the window was up, again watching the treeline, “Go please” was all he said. I started back towards town and I then noticed the scratches on his face, clothes and hands and his whole body was shaking. After we went a couple of miles he somewhat slowed down on rechecking the treeline and passenger rear view mirror.

“You O.K. buddy?” I asked, he stared at me for many seconds and just broke down crying like a little kid. “Yah, but don’t think I’m crazy man, I just had some shit happen and I ain’t going back there for nothing, I hope the guys are O.K.”.  He composed himself some and started to explain:

I am hunting here with two buddies and we always hunt below Brooks Lake when we come to Wyoming. Usually we get Elk or Deer, never go home skunked here, just love it. I was going along a trail I been on many times to get to a small overlook to sit awhile. It was their turn to push (the Elk) to me. I was almost there when I walked past this stand of three trees close together and on the other side was this huge Lizard, it was standing easy over  6 1/2 feet tall, golden/bronze color with a vest and short metallic looking briefs. I could tell it was a male I guess and he had a black thing in its clawed hand. It eyes were like a cats and it had a tail. I just stood there with my rifle in my hands across my chest froze kinda like. I was looking into the face of death, I just know it. I coughed a little and it’s arm with the black thing came up so fast I could hardly see it. Something hit my whole body from my feet to my head and I fell back on the ground, I dunno if I flew or fell I just went backwards. It came slowly walking up to me I could hear it and could only move my eyes slightly as it came into view, it just looked down to me it’s mouth slightly open making a low hissing sound and it’s forked tongue slightly coming out of it’s mouth. It’s head turned down looking at me and did this for a few minutes, I could hear it breathing, see the nose holes working, see it’s chest, muscles tensing and relaxing all over it’s body, I was just froze there looking up, I couldn’t look at it directly and I couldn’t close my eyes very easy either. It’s expression never changed only the eyes moved sometimes slow like sometimes so fast you could hardly see ‘um.  On it’s sleeveless shirt it had a kinda O with a smaller, screwy offset Y and Z  I think, it finally walked away down the trail. I dunno how long I laid there, from the sun movement it was maybe a couple of hours. I could hear the forest sounds, birds, wind, trees, animals going about their day like nothing happened, I would will my arms or legs to move hell, even fingers. When I could move every muscle in my body ached as I would use it, like after a workout at the gym or something. I knew if I went down hill I would come to the old creek bottom and hopefully not see him again. I did that, I followed it to the canyon bottom and then to the road and you. Thanks again, don’t make me get out. I took off my coat, I guess I forgot my rifle, cap,  I don’t need them. I hope Jake and Bobby are O.K. I heard something following me when I first got up, it was real heavy sounding and would stop when I stopped and once or twice I could hear breathing like “it” did, kinda a raspy wheeze sound. I would start running or walking again, I couldn’t rest.

He told me which motel to let him off at and I did, he thanked me many times and got out and went in the office. I never seen him again. I thought about the fantastic story and wondered if true, but it could be right? I didn’t hear anything about someone having problems anywhere around town that fall.

I asked about the man the next year at the motel (no one could remember him) and if anyone knew stories about the area, I didn’t get specific or anything.  I didn’t press it. My buddy whom I was close to and explored stuff like this at every opportunity was very interested in my story and the location. He took off up there the next summer for a long weekend, I had to work so couldn’t go. I didn’t see him until a couple of weeks later. I asked him about it and what he found out. He looked at me and got very serious, “Dude, don’t go up there, promise me, O.K.?” Was all he said, I could tell he meant it. I would go with this guy sometimes and he was very analytical and professional when doing things like, taping sounds at cemeteries, exploring ghost haunts, and others. He never acted scared at any time. I have never hunted or been on that side of the highway since then, but have talked to others that have seen large barefoot prints, strange flying stuff or howls over the years since then around the Wind River Mountains for what it’s worth. I do like to read about the unknown and sometimes explore it, but, and I mean but, if it just feels wrong before I start. I leave it alone…..

Now when I hunt anywhere I don’t fear bears, wolves or other people, but I am weary of what else might be out there, and always let someone know where I go and when I should be back…… A.W.H.

NOTE: A few years ago, I and others received the following quote from a former Dulce Security Officer:

The subterranean highway in America is like a freeway except it’s underground. That highway depends on electric motors [for trucks, cars and buses] for the paved roads, and it is for limited travel. There is another style of transit for freight and for passengers that is for rapid travel. That world wide network is called the “Sub-Global System.” It has “check points” at each country entry. There ARE shuttle tubes that ‘shoot’ the trains at incredible speeds using a mag-lev and vacuum method. They travel at a speed that excels the speed of sound. Part of your question involves the location of entrances to that base. The easiest way to answer is to say every state in the U.S.A. has them. Frequently, the entrances are camouflaged as sand quarries, or mining operations. Other complex portals are found on military bases. New Mexico and Arizona have the largest amounts of entrances followed by California, Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri. Of all the state’s Florida and North Dakota have the least amount of entrances. Wyoming has a road that opens directly into the subterranean freeway. That road is no longer in use, but could be reactivated if they decide to do so, with minimal cost. It’s located near Brooks Lake.

I had known of a system of subterranean roadways in New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona…but nothing this far north. I suppose it is possible that other Reptilian sightings around the area of Brooks Lake may have been the reason for the road’s closure….subsequent to the closure of an underground base or research facility.

UFO lectures from academics and government officials available

(Before It's News)

In late June of last year, an important UFO symposium took place in North Carolina. An international group of scientists, government officials, military personnel, and UFO researchers gathered to discuss unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). DVDs of the lectures are now available.

Among the international speakers were representatives from several official government sponsored UFO investigation organizations. The most prominent is GEIPAN in France. This group investigates UFOs and is part of France’s National Centre for Space Studies (CNES), the equivalent to NASA here in the United States. The head of GEIPAN, Xavier Passot, was one of the speakers, and he reviewed their methodologies for investigation. He also shared their statistics and some of their best cases.

Another official UFO research group that was represented was Chile’s Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena (CEFAA). This organization is a branch of the General Administration of Civil Aeronautics, which is similar to our FAA. Jose Lay, CEFAA’s director of international affairs, spoke on how their organization works, and also shared information on some of their best cases.

Another international presenter was retired Major General Wilfried De Brouwer of the Belgian Air Force. He was not representing an official UFO organization. However, he was presenting the details of an official UFO investigation. He presided over the official investigation of 2000 reports of triangular shaped UFOs over Belgium from 1989 to 1991. He says the witnesses included highly credible individuals including pilots and police officials.

Another unique aspect of the conference was the participation of scientists and other members of academia. Alexander Wendt, professor of international security, spoke on the UFO taboo. Similarly, emeritus professor of sociology Ron Westrum spoke on how society deals with controversial discoveries. Astronomer and author Jeffrey Bennett presented on the scientific search for extraterrestrial life, and Dr. Richard Haines presented UFO investigations of reports from pilots.

There were a number of other great researchers who can often be found presenting at UFO conferences, but these international and academic presentations are unique and rare.

The event was financed and organized by Kent Senter, who has researched the UFO phenomena for over 25 years. He was one of the founding members of the North Carolina chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Senter is battling an incurable cancer, and wanted to put together a credible conference as part of his “bucket list.” Early on his cancer was misdiagnosed, and with some of the money he was awarded in a settlement, he was able to bring in the best people from all over the world to accomplish his goal of elevating the credibility of UFO research.

In order to help him gather the most credible international group, he enlisted the help of Leslie Kean. Her book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record, was a New York Times best-seller, and has garnered positive attention from mainstream media and scientists.

She also lectured at the conference, and her presentation is also available. You can find out more information, and order some of these rare and important lectures at: www.cufornc.com/buy-dvds.html.

Daily 2 Cents: Cattle Mutilations Baffle Investigators — What in Hell is THAT? — Staten Island’s Creepy Clown

(Before It's News)

Bizarre Cattle Mutilations Baffle Investigators

A disturbing chain of livestock mutilations has plagued farmers and ranchers throughout all 50 states for decades, but law enforcement has failed to name a perpetrator.

Cows, horses, goats, and other livestock have been randomly found dead—the corpses mutilated and organs removed with surgical precision. With each of these attacks, no tracks of any kind surround the site, perplexing ranchers and law enforcement.

Many theories surround this mysterious and persistent wave of attacks. Suspects include predatory animals, satanic cultists, extraterrestrials, and even the U.S. government. To this day, no arrests have been made even though more than 10,000 attacks have been recorded throughout the country, according to KLAS-TV Las Vegas.

These cases stand out from regular predatory attacks on livestock. Their surgical nature is eerie and unexplainable. Colorado rancher Tom Miller recalled his first encounter with the mysterious mutilations: The eyes, ears, tongue, and reproductive organs had been removed from one of his cows with surgical precision. No blood was found onsite, which is typical among the mutilation attacks. Miller said that his cattle have been periodically attacked in this way since 1999, according to Science Channel’s “The Unexplained Files.”

Adding to the bewilderment are the fractured bones, including ribs, inside the carcasses of the mutilated animals, suggesting that the animals were taken, operated on, and then dropped from an elevated height.

Supporters of the extraterrestrial theory suggest that aliens take the animals aboard their craft and then discard the remains, according to the “Unexplained Files.” Ufologists—those who study UFOs—believe that the mutilation of these animals represents a need for bodily tissue in order to create alien-human hybrids. This claim is perhaps lacking in evidence, but in many cases of cattle mutilation, the reproductive organs were removed—embryos included. In the scientific community, cow embryos were used in human cloning attempts by the company Advanced Cell Technology in 1999, reported the BBC and NewScientist news.

A more terrestrial explanation comes from alien theory skeptic Chris O’Brien, who suggests that the mutilations are conducted by our own government in an effort to avoid disease outbreak, such as mad cow disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), which is believed to cause the human disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). According to O’Brien and “The Unexplained Files,” many of the tainted animals from the 1996 BSE outbreak in England were destroyed, turned into fertilizer, and transported around the world—including to American farmland.

Despite the persistent anomalies of these livestock attacks, skeptics hold that they are nothing more than predatory animal attacks. – The Epoch Times

Haunted hotel freaks out Spurs players on road trip

The San Antonio Spurs are on a terrific run just now, winning 14 straight to put them top of the Western Conference.

Overcoming difficult opponents in recent weeks they have produced some of their best basketball this season.

And all, it seems, despite having to deal with some paranormal activity on their recent road trip.

As reported by San-Antonio Express-News, both Tim Duncan and Jeff Ayres were freaked out after a night at the Claremont Resort in Berkley ahead of the Spurs’ game against Golden State Warriors:

“I get to my door, and my key doesn’t work, but it sounds like there’s somebody in my room,” explained Ayres.

“Like I hear a little baby, not crying but making noise. I’m like, ‘What the heck?’ I keep trying my key and it doesn’t work.”

“It was the creepiest thing. I heard a couple of other guys heard babies in the hallway, kids running down the hallway. Creepy. I really heard voices and a baby in the room, and there wasn’t anybody in there.”

Spooky indeed. And veteran Duncan backs up his teammates story.

“I heard a baby in his room.

“When they told me the story the next day about calling up there and no one in the room, it’s at that point you get chills,” said a clearly flustered Duncan.

The Spurs obviously managed to put thoughts of ghosts and ghouls to the back of their minds as they overcame the Warriors 99-90 last week.

But Duncan is planning on a new location when they are next in the Bay Area:

Creepy Clown Stalking Staten Island Train Stations

We at the Observer would advise skipping this story if you plan on sleeping without horrific nightmares ever again.

If social media is to be believed, there is a man dressed as a clown wandering around Staten Island at night. Witnesses describe him as bald, wearing a trademark blue and yellow clown suit, holding balloons and OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS PICTURE.

The clown, which has reportedly been spotted hanging around the Grasmere and Richmond Valley train stations according to the SI Advance, has been snapped three times and uploaded to Twitter and Instagram, providing both internet buzz and nightmare fuel.

“He was just kinda standing there waving like he is in the picture,” Westerleigh resident Vincent Innocente told the paper of his experience meeting the poor-man’s Pennywise on Sunday. – Observer

What in Hell is THAT?

Click for video – Strange Phenomenon – WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

A reader Cryptid Hunter forwarded this to me:

Witness report: So I was walking with my dog in the evening just before sunset, we were travelling into vast fields of nature to escape common modern view.

By accident I found a pond. It catched my interest since i saw a waterhole in the middle of it. Usually people drills waterholes in their ponds where fish lives, at winter time, so fish can breathe.

I thought I will see some fishes and stuff… But as soon as i came closer, I noticed that it was evaporating. You can’t see this in the video since I was filming with my phone which has not a high resolution camera.

When I stepped on that frozen pond, farther away from that waterhole (where i was standing) ice was 20 centimeters thick or even more. And that waterhole looked like it was melted with fire or something… You can see around that waterhole that there is snow or maybe ice particles blasted away from the center of this waterhole.

It is not volcanic activity. In the middle of Europe, Lithuania, there are no volcanoes or underground volcanic currents. Plus water would be boiling. There are no pipes in the middle of nowhere, so not a damaged pipe…

Natural Gas or oil? Impossible, it is not hot and why only the part of this whole pond is melted just above this thing/activity-reason?

At first glance, it looks like a jellyfish, but it is not. What was really there is still unknown for me.

What Is the Big Bang Theory?

A 2013 map of the background radiation left over from the Big Bang, taken by the ESA's Planck spacecraft, captured the oldest light in the universe. This information helps astronomers determine the age of the universe.

The Big Bang Theory is the leading explanation about how the universe began. At its simplest, it talks about the universe as we know it starting with a small singularity, then inflating over the next 13.8 billion years to the cosmos that we know today.

Because current instruments don't allow astronomers to peer back at the universe's birth, much of what we understand about the Big Bang Theory comes from mathematical theory and models. Astronomers can, however, see the "echo" of the expansion through a phenomenon known as the cosmic microwave background.

The phrase "Big Bang Theory" has been popular among astrophysicists for decades, but it hit the mainstream in 2007 when a comedy show with the same name premiered on CBS. The show follows the home and academic life of several researchers (including an astrophysicist).

The first second, and the birth of light

In the first second after the universe began, the surrounding temperature was about 10 billion degrees Fahrenheit (5.5 billion Celsius), according to NASA. The cosmos contained a vast array of fundamental particles such as neutrons, electrons and protons. These decayed or combined as the universe got cooler.

This early soup would have been impossible to look at, because light could not carry inside of it. "The free electrons would have caused light (photons) to scatter the way sunlight scatters from the water droplets in clouds," NASA stated. Over time, however, the free electrons met up with nuclei and created neutral atoms. This allowed light to shine through about 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

This early light — sometimes called the "afterglow" of the Big Bang — is more properly known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB). It was first predicted by Ralph Alpher and other scientists in 1948, but was found only by accident almost 20 years later. [Images: Peering Back to the Big Bang & Early Universe]

Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, both of Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, were building a radio receiver in 1965 and picking up higher-than-expected temperatures, according to NASA. At first, they thought the anomaly was due to pigeons and their dung, but even after cleaning up the mess and killing pigeons that tried to roost inside the antenna, the anomaly persisted.

Simultaneously, a Princeton University team (led by Robert Dicke) was trying to find evidence of the CMB, and realized that Penzias and Wilson had stumbled upon it. The teams each published papers in the Astrophysical Journal in 1965.

Determining the age of the universe

The cosmic microwave background has been observed on many missions. One of the most famous space-faring missions was NASA's Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, which mapped the sky in the 1990s.

Several other missions have followed in COBE's footsteps, such as the BOOMERanG experiment (Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics), NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the European Space Agency's Planck satellite.

Planck's observations, released in 2013, mapped the background in unprecedented detail and revealed that the universe was older than previously thought: 13.82 billion years old, rather than 13.7 billion years old. [Related: How Old is the Universe?]

The maps give rise to new mysteries, however, such as why the Southern Hemisphere appears slightly redder (warmer) than the Northern Hemisphere. The Big Bang Theory says that the CMB would be mostly the same, no matter where you look.

Examining the CMB also gives astronomers clues as to the composition of the universe. Researchers think most of the cosmos is made up of matter and energy that cannot be "sensed" with conventional instruments, leading to the names dark matter and dark energy. Only 5 percent of the universe is made up of matter such as planets, stars and galaxies.

Gravitational waves spotted?

While astronomers could see the universe's beginnings, they've also been seeking out proof of its rapid inflation. Theory says that in the first second after the universe was born, our cosmos ballooned faster than the speed of light. That, by the way, does not violate Albert Einstein's speed limit since he said that light is the maximum anything can travel within the universe. That did not apply to the inflation of the universe itself.

In 2014, astronomers said they had found evidence in the CMB concerning "B-modes", a sort of polarization generated as the universe got bigger and created gravitational waves. The team spotted evidence of this using an Antarctic telescope called "Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization", or BICEP2.

While the finding has to be scrutinized by independent researchers, the researchers told Space.com that they are confident it will be confirmed. They spent several years examining the information to make sure that the telescope did not generate a false signal.

"We're very confident that the signal that we're seeing is real, and it's on the sky," lead researcher John Kovac, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Space.com in March 2014.

"It's going to be controversial," he added. "We can expect that people will try to shoot at it from every direction, and we invite that — that's the scientific process, and it'll be fun and interesting."

Faster inflation, multiverses and charting the start

The universe is not only expanding, but getting faster as it inflates. This means that with time, nobody will be able to spot other galaxies from Earth, or any other vantage point within our galaxy.

"We will see distant galaxies moving away from us, but their speed is increasing with time," Harvard University astronomer Avi Loeb said in a March 2014 Space.com article.

"So, if you wait long enough, eventually, a distant galaxy will reach the speed of light. What that means is that even light won't be able to bridge the gap that's being opened between that galaxy and us. There's no way for extraterrestrials on that galaxy to communicate with us, to send any signals that will reach us, once their galaxy is moving faster than light relative to us."

Some physicists also suggest that the universe we experience is just one of many. In the "multiverse" model, different universes would coexist with each other like bubbles lying side by side. The theory suggests that in that first big push of inflation, different parts of space-time grew at different rates. This could have carved off different sections — different universes — with potentially different laws of physics.

"It's hard to build models of inflation that don't lead to a multiverse," Alan Guth, a theoretical physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said during a news conference in March 2014 concerning the gravitational waves discovery. (Guth is not affiliated with that study.)

"It's not impossible, so I think there's still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead to a multiverse, and evidence for inflation will be pushing us in the direction of taking [the idea of a] multiverse seriously."

While we can understand how the universe we see came to be, it's possible that the Big Bang was not the first inflationary period the universe experienced. Some scientists believe we live in a cosmos that goes through regular cycles of inflation and deflation, and that we just happen to be living in one of these phases.
