Theoretical astrophysicists have discovered that millions of planets are more habitable than we realized

The hunt for extra-terrestrials has expanded, after theoretical astrophysicists discovered that millions of planets once dismissed as inhospitable could in fact be suitable for alien life.

Earth-like planets are the obvious first place to look for life, but a large number of these orbit stars known as orange and red dwarfs, which are smaller than the Earth’s sun. Dwarf stars are extremely common—they make up more than 70% of stars in the universe—and nearly every red dwarf is thought to have a planet located within a habitable distanceand with similar water levels to Earth.

But until recently, there’s been a catch—Earth-sized planets rotating dwarfs were thought to suffer from rotational lockup. That means they rotate with one side always facing the star, much like how one side of the Moon always faces the Earth. This would create a planet that was half scorching desert and half ice sheet, which is hardly ideal for life.

But research published in Science Express earlier this year found that this isn’t necessarily the case. The authors, led by Jérémy Leconte, a postdoctoral fellow at the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Toronto, built a three-dimensional climate model and found that a thin atmosphere would allow a planet to break free of rotational lockup and spin as it rotates around the star.

Scientists previously thought that only a large atmosphere could create a significant spin but, according to Leconte, thin atmospheres may have a larger rotational effect, because they allow more light from the star to reach the planet’s surface. This solar heat drives wind to create an atmospheric tide, which in turn creates a friction that causes the planet to rotate.

The researchers believe that an Earth-sized planet with an atmosphere similar to Earth’s would indeed spin as it rotates around small orange dwarf and some red dwarf stars. The astronomers are awaiting observational evidence to support their theory, but believe this could expand scientists’ search for life outside our solar system.

“If we are correct, there is no permanent, cold night side on exoplanets causing water to remain trapped in a gigantic ice sheet,” Leconte said in a statement. “Whether this new understanding of exoplanets’ climate increases the ability of these planets to develop life remains an open question.”

High-Energy Cosmic Neutrinos Observed At The Geographic South Pole

An team of international experts has announced a new observation of high-energy neutrino particles using an instrument funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The particles from beyond our galaxy have been detected at the geographic South Pole, using a massive instrument buried deep in ice.

The scientists from the IceCube Collaboration, a research team with headquarters at the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, published their new discovery in the journal Physical Review Letters, on August 20, 2015. The new observation confirmed an initial detection of high-energy neutrinos made in November 2013.

Billions of subatomic neutrino particles pass through our planet on a daily basis, however, they cannot be directly observed. For that reason, IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a one cubic kilometer sized detector was sunk into the ice sheet at the South Pole which allowed the scientists to indirectly observe the particles, by detecting the products of their interaction with ice sheets.

Neutrino particles travel throughout the universe, almost entirely undisturbed by matter and pointing to the sources of their creation. The highest energy neutrinos presumably originate from the most extreme phenomena of the universe,  which are able to generate energies million times more powerful than those generated by a man-made source such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

“Cosmic neutrinos are the key to yet unexplored parts of our universe and might be able to finally reveal the origins of the highest energy cosmic rays, including the rare ‘Oh-My-God’ particles,” says IceCube Collaboration spokesperson Olga Botner, of Uppsala University.

The observatory records 100 000 neutrino particle every year. Most of them are called muons and they are generated during the cosmic ray interaction with the Earth’s atmosphere. To detect other types of neutrino particles, the researchers have used planet Earth to filter out the large background of atmospheric muons. By observing neutrinos from the Northern Hemisphere, they have confirmed the cosmic origin of the particles, as well as the presence of extragalactic neutrinos and the intensity of the neutrino rate.

“Looking for muon neutrinos reaching the detector through the Earth is the way IceCube was supposed to do neutrino astronomy and it has delivered,” said Francis Halzen, IceCube principal investigator and the Hilldale and Gregory Breit Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “This is as close to independent confirmation as one can get with a unique instrument.”

New results agree with the previous and confirm the higher number of neutrinos originating beyond our Solar System. The new high-energy neutrino sample allows the most accurate measurements to date of the energy spectrum and neutrino-type composition of the extraterrestrial neutrino flux, when combined with previous measurements.

“This is an excellent confirmation of IceCube’s recent discoveries, opening the doors to a new era in particle physics,” says Vladimir Papitashvili, astrophysics and geospace sciences program director in the Division of Polar Programs. “And it became possible only because of extraordinary qualities of Antarctic ice and NSF’s ability to successfully tackle enormous scientific and logistical problems in the most inhospitable places on Earth.”

Alien bodies excavated in Rwanda

LIFE ON MARS!? NASA'S SCIENTISTS TO REVEAL 'MAJOR FINDING' ON MONDAY

The space agency will gather a host of experts to its headquarters in Washington for a briefing where it promises to announce it has solved a huge mystery surrounding the Red Planet.

 

 NASA's previous announcements have revealed groundbreaking findings, such as that in July of the discovery of Earth-life planet Kepler-452b, outside of the Solar System. 

 

Experts at this event include Jim Green, the director of planetary science at NASA and Michael Meyer, lead scientist for the Mars Exploration Program. 

 

Has NASA finally found life on the red planet? One theory is they will announce microbial life on the planet but a more likely scenario is evidence of flowing water.

 

 Those hopes have been given a boost by the attendance of scientist Lujendra Ojha, of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, at the Nasa announcement. 

 

He first came up with the theory that Mars has liquid salt water flowing through it during warmer months. 

 

Water is one of the key requirements for life and such a discovery would significantly boost chances of alien beings on Mars.

 

 That discovery came from NASA's four-wheel drive Curiosity Rover which is currently probing the baron landscape of the planet.

 

 Last month the Curiosity, which has been based on the Red Planet for three years, found rocks a metre under the surface containing up to four times as much water as previously thought. 

 

There has also been satellite images of what looked like an old riverbed, with round pebbles indicating flowing water was once there. 

 

Recent images from Curiosity also showed dark and basaltic rocks on the planet, leading to speculation the planet may have even once been covered with water - making it biologically closer to our world.

 

 

"The large bundle of images that Curiosity has taken on Mars, which have been made available through NASA’s website, have already prompted researchers to speculate the existence of microbial fossils, and of strange alien objects." 

 

US science writer Kevin Kopas said of that discovery:

 

 "This new evidence comes in support of speculations by many scientists that Mars was once an Earth-like planet, with continents divided by oceans, both teeming with microbial life, at least"

POUR STEPHEN HAWKING, « L’HOMME DEVRA ÉMIGRER VERS D’AUTRES PLANÈTES DANS 100 ANS » S’IL VEUT SURVIVRE

Stephen Hawking, scientifique que l’on ne présente plus, a ces derniers temps, des positions très dures sur l’avenir de l’espèce humaine. « L’Homme, pour se sauver, devra émigrer vers d’autres planètes d’ici 100 ans… », tel est l’avis de Stephen Hawking. L’exploration dans les prochaines années de planètes potentiellement habitables relance férocement le débat sur une éventuelle colonisation de l’Homme vers d’autres mondes, Elon Musk proposant de son côté une terraformation originale de la planète rouge.

« Je pense que la survie de l’espèce humaine dépend de sa capacité à vivre dans d’autres endroits de l’univers, parce que le risque d’une catastrophe de détruire la Terre est grand. Donc, je tiens à éveiller l’intérêt du public dans les vols spatiaux », a-t-il déclaré au journal El Pais, et rapporté par la République.

Stephen Hawking a lancé une campagne de recherche de vie intelligente dans notre galaxie, d’après lui « si des Aliens viennent nous rendre visite, le résultat serait très similaire à ce qui est arrivé lorsque Christophe Colomb a débarqué en Amérique : cela a-t-il été une bonne chose pour les Amérindiens ? ». Le scientifique britannique tient à expliquer sa position : « De mon esprit mathématique, penser qu’il existe une vie extraterrestre est quelque chose de rationnel. Le véritable défi est de savoir comment sont ces Aliens ».

Il y a très peu de temps, il avait expliqué dans une lettre ouverte conjointement avec d’autres personnalités « que les ordinateurs dépasseront les humains grâce à l’intelligence artificielle dans les cent prochaines années. Lorsque cela va se passer, nous devrons être sûrs que les objectifs des ordinateurs correspondront aux nôtres. » L’avenir de l’humanité tiendrait dans un premier temps à une émigration vers une planète proche habitable ou terraformée, afin de reconstruire une civilisation durable. Avec une planète en danger comme la Terre, notre avenir serait dur à assurer en cas de catastrophe, de problèmes avec des intelligences artificielles ou d’une rencontre non amicale avec une espèce extraterrestre.

Ministry of Defence officials 'DID investigate mass UFO sightings in West Wales village'

The Broad Haven Triangle sightings made national headlines nearly 40 years ago

New details have emerged shedding light on a spate of mysterious UFO and alien sightings which gripped a West Wales community almost 40 years ago.

Dubbed the 1977 Broad Haven Triangle mystery, conspiracy theories went into overdrive when reports emerged that 14 pupils from Broad Haven primary school had seen a UFO landing in Pembrokeshire.

The head teacher at the time backed up their claims, saying they had all drawn similar pictures of the craft.

Many others reported being petrified by a strange silver alien.

Now a new novel claims to have revealed details of a declassified MoD document which suggests top-ranking officials carried out a covert inquiry into the mysterious activities.

'Archive evidence'

The Watchers by Neil Spring is said to be based on “true events” and promises to reveal the truth about what really happened at Broad Haven.

Related: Welsh ministers were asked for information about UFO sightings... and they replied in KLINGON

According to the Express, Mr Spring researched the case through documents sent to the National Archives 30 years after the bizarre happenings and after a new witness came forward.

“I visited Broad Haven a sceptic, and came away convinced that some of the locals knew far more about the mysterious occurrences of 1977 than they are willing to reveal,” he said.

'Faceless humanoid'

According to documents held at the National Archive in Kew, the story began one night in April 1977 at 2.30am when Rosa Granville, who ran the Haven Fort Hotel in Little Haven, was awoken by strange noise and lights.

Broadhaven School children Drawings of UFOs February 1977

Looking out of her window, she described seeing an object which looked like an “upside-down saucer” in the field next to the hotel and two “faceless humanoid” creatures with pointed heads.

The incident, she said in a subsequent letter she wrote to her MP Nicholas Edwards, left her “agitated and disturbed and not the least bit desirous of another encounter”.

'Inundated with sightings'

On receiving Mrs Granville’s letter back in 1977, Mr Edwards contacted the Ministry of Defence and Flight Lieutenant Cowan, an officer from RAF Brawdy, then visited the hotel.

The MP said at the time: “I am being inundated at the present time with representations about UFOs said to have been seen in Pembrokeshire.”

Other incidents reported in the Broad Haven area at the time included a class of schoolchildren who claimed to have seen a spacecraft near their playground.

Then a family said they saw several UFOs in the space of a week, as well as several sightings of silver-suited creatures.

MoD officials expressed no interest, saying there was no threat to national security.

'Discreet inquiry'

However, among the documents was a letter from the head of the MoD’s S4 wing to the Provost Security Service, the RAF’s internal police force.

The S4 chief wrote: ”I have not even told the Minister I am consulting you” and called for a “discreet enquiry” after expressing bewilderment at the number of apparently “level-headed” witnesses to the strange activity.

Mr Spring said: “(The new witnesses’) testimony rocked the very foundations of the British Government.”

'Bombshell document'

Nick Pope, who worked as UFO investigator for the MOD, said: “This bombshell document shows how the MoD’s UFO project asked the RAF Police to conduct a secret investigation into these mysterious events, while Parliament, the media and the public were being told the subject was of no defence significance.

“Defence ministers were cut out of the loop.”

The disclosures have prompted Tory peer Lord Black of Brentwood to call for a full explanation from the MoD of what it uncovered.

'More answers needed'

Lord Black said: “A number of recently released MoD files leave little doubt that a small number of sightings of aerial phenomena - particularly by military personnel, pilots and air traffic controllers - remain unexplained and unidentified.

“There needs to be further examination of these issues in the hope of learning something new.”

The sightings in Broad Haven took place near a military base, leading some observers to suggest the crafts had actually been Harrier jump jets and the aliens were just men wearing fireproof flying outfits.

Two years ago a former US Navy sailor came forward to say that the cause of the silver-suited being was in fact a US military personal wearing their standard fireproof uniform and the UFOs were new Harrier jets being flown.

The MoD has not commented.

Back in 1991, UFO researcher Leonard Stringfield published his then-latest of many reports on crashed UFOs. I had read all of Stringfield’s earlier reports, booklets and books, but this one stood out for me. The reason being that it referenced the alleged crash of a UFO, in 1964. The location was an area of woodland and fields near the Staffordshire, England market-town of Penkridge. It’s a town only a short drive from where I grew up as a kid. At the time, however, I was down in the south of England, in Harlow, Essex. But, I made a note to look into the affair next time I was back in the Staffordshire area.

As for Stringfield’s story, it was an intriguing one. Unfortunately, and as was the case with so many of Stringfield’s informants, the name of the person who provided the story was not listed. Or, rather, it was, but in the form of a pseudonym: “S.M. Brannigan.” According to the story, back in early 1964 “Brannigan” was serving in the US military aboard “…a specially rigged LST, a flagship that was attached to a naval amphibious force at an unspecified point in either the Caribbean or the Atlantic…”

Stringfield’s source informed him that it was his job to intercept and translate Soviet military transmissions. One such transmission – of early 1964 – stood out. Reportedly, the US Navy monitored Soviet chatter concerning the tracking and spiraling to Earth of nothing less than a UFO. Supposedly, the malfunctioning UFO split into two segments: one coming down somewhere in Germany and the other in a wooded/field area near to Penkridge. There were rumors of “remains” and of “bodies” hastily and secretly recovered by UK and German forces.

Well, it was quite a story! But, it lacked a real name for “Brannigan.” And it also lacked solid data, back-up sources, and a specific date. Nevertheless, I have found myself faced with less material to work with – and on more than a few occasions, too. I looked into it for a while, but I could not find a single piece of data to support the story. Now, we move on to 1995. That was the year in which a woman with a deep interest in UFOs, Irene Bott, established the Staffordshire UFO Group. One year later, in September 1996, Irene had a first anniversary SUFOG conference in the area, at which I spoke.

During the booze-quaffing session after the gig, I told Irene about the 1964 affair and she found it all very interesting. To the extent that she made mention of it in the local (but now defunct) newspaper, The Chase Post (which covered the towns and villages in and around Staffordshire’s Cannock Chase). It was an article that led an elderly man named Harold South to contact Irene with a startling story. According to South, he was on-site shortly after the 1964 crash occurred and while hordes of British military personnel were racing around, closing roads through a particular part of the Cannock Chase, and loading a small, delta-shaped vehicle (or parts of it) aboard a large, transporter vehicle.

South also claimed he was later visited by local police, who, he believed, had seen him as he drove close to the makeshift cordon and tracked him down by the license-plate of his vehicle. He also said they confiscated his camera, which he eventually got back, minus the film – which allegedly showed shots of the crash-site. Well, that was quite as story, too! It was not until December 1996 that me and Irene were able to arrange to meet with South in person – which we did, at his small apartment in the town of Brownhills. We called him, around the end of November, to see if one particular date was suitable. It was. Then, on the morning of that particular date (December 11, 1996), we called him again, just to make sure a meet was still cool. Yes, it was.

Well, that was all good. Or, at least, we thought it was. When we got to South’s apartment, his entire demeanor had changed. He didn’t want to talk to us – at all. He was clearly a worried man. He did, at least, invite us in. If nothing else, that was something positive. We asked South what was wrong and, for a few moments, he hemmed and hawed. Finally, however, he told us about the reason for his sudden change of heart. According to South, in between us phoning him and arriving at his home he had received a phone call from the British Ministry of Defense, warning him not to talk to us!

Yes, you know what I’m going to say: that was quite a story too! I have heard a lot of similar such controversial claims over the years, many of which led nowhere. This one, however, was a bit different. We asked South if anyone had called since the MoD phoned. He replied, “No.” So, we asked if we could use his phone and dial 1471. It’s a UK service that allows the caller to obtain the number of the previous, incoming call. Providing, that is, it’s not withheld by the caller.

Sure enough there was a number. We dialed it as South looked on, not unlike someone awaiting a firing squad or castration without anaesthetic. Or both. Not only did we dial, but someone answered. It was a woman who was very cagey about identifying herself by name. We were, however, able to prove the number had taken us to an operator-service that was run by the military. It was responsible for channeling calls to and from military establishments in the West Midlands and Staffordshire regions of the UK. In other words, the call to South could have come from any number of military bases in the area. But, all we had was the operator-number that called South, rather than the originating source that was connected to South by the operator.

Needless to say, it didn’t take us anywhere. But something did. South added that as well as the Ministry of Defense warning him not to speak with us, rather oddly they gave him a number to call in the event that he “might want to speak with” them again. So, we asked for the number and dialed it. This one took us to an office of the Ministry of Defense Guard Service at Whittington Barracks, near the city of Lichfield.

The voice on the other end of the line was cordial (throughout the brief conversation the man at the other end genially called Irene “flower”), but careful about what he said. He gave up nothing at all and the conversation was soon ended. He clearly reacted when we phoned though, since he wanted to know how we had got an internal number at the Guards Service, rather than their main-line. Well, he told us nothing, so we did likewise and said our goodbyes. “Bye, flower,” he said to Irene.

Over the next couple of years, Irene got a few more snippets of data, which collectively suggested there may have been some truth to the story that originally surfaced via “S. M. Brannigan” and Leonard Stringfield, and which was later expanded on by Harold South. It’s an episode that I still occasionally think about, nineteen years after we met that worried old man. Of course, none of what happened on that freezing cold, winter’s morning in December 1996 confirms aliens crashed near Penkridge 51 years ago. All I can say for sure, is that we were able to 100 percent prove that on the day in question – when we were due to speak with him about his crashed UFO claims – Harold South had a call directed to his home from a military operator-based service, and he was given an internal number at the MoD Guard Service, in case he might “want to speak” with someone about his experience.

All of this begs a couple of questions: (A) why was it made so easy for me and Irene to find the military operator’s number via the 1471 service? And (B) why was South even given a number at Whittington Barracks at all? Irene and I wondered if we had a hidden whistle-blower somewhere in our midst. One who was feeding us a few snippets of data (in the form of odd but easily traceable phone calls), in an attempt to try and convince us of the validity of the 1964 crash. But, in a way that didn’t compromise his or her identity.

Admittedly, I have no firm opinion on what went down on that day in December 1996, except to say it was very strange, deeply memorable, and extremely intriguing. Beyond that? Nothing but a mass of questions that are unlikely to ever be answered.

High Seed! UFO Sightings Metro Nevada State Police Officer Chases UFO

(Before It's News)

Richard Eliot shares an incredible encounter with a UFO! Here is the correspondents: Hey guys I’m looking for answers from this. This happened last Saturday here in Las Vegas the wife and I were driving saw this thing above the mountain range to our left. I took a quick picture and nocticed that there was a police officer down there also watching it. So my wife told me to turn around let’s go see what it is so I went down to the police officer and ask him apparently he was answering a call from dispatch from a commercial pilot that said this thing at one point was in the line of sight for incoming air traffic into the airport here in Las Vegas and they had genuine concerns that I was in their flight path.

So he was answering that call he had followed it from 3 miles down the road up to this point looking for any vehicle that somebody might be in controlling this thing by the time we got there there was nobody there but him and I and my wife watching this thing sit above the mountains edge ascending descending rotating from left to right parts of it also rotating by themselves righ to left. It was the size of maybe a large bike it made no noise and it was moving unnaturally another words it wasn’t moving by the wind it was being controlled that’s why the immediate thought was that it was a drone. I sent you guys these three pictures to look at it to tell me maybe you have answers I’ve seen things on the internet similar to this I’m assuming maybe that’s what that is.

RUIMTEVAART De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft beelden vrijgegeven van een enorme ontploffende ster. Het gaat om een supernova die liefst 20 keer groter was dan de zon en die 8.000 jaar ontplofte.

NASA heeft een video vrijgegeven van de zogenoemde Nebula-sluier, restanten van een enorme ster die 8.000 jaar geleden ontplofte. De beelden werden gemaakt door de Hubble-telescoop. 

De kleurrijke stofwolk ligt aan de rand van een kolossale gasbel die de stervende ster de ruimte inblies voor ze ontplofte, zo'n 2.100 lichtjaren van de aarde verwijderd. Het rood in de beelden komt van de gloed van waterstof, het groen van zwavel en het blauw van zuurstof.

De supernova moet zo'n 8.000 jaar zichtbaar zijn geweest vanop de aarde in de vorm van een nieuwe, felle ster in het noorden.

"Het mysterie rond Mars is opgelost", laat NASA weten. Wat dat precies betekent, is nog onduidelijk, maar wetenschappers denken dat NASA zal aankondigen dat het vloeibaar water op Mars heeft ontdekt. Morgen om 17:30 uur (onze tijd) geeft de ruimtevaartorganisatie een persconferentie waarin wordt uitgelegd wat er precies is ontdekt. Meerdere toponderzoekers van NASA zullen aanwezig zijn bij de persconferentie in het hoofdkwartier in Washington.

Lujendra Ojha © lpl.arizona.edu.

De geruchtenmolen over wat NASA nu juist gaat aankondigen, draait op volle toeren. In het centrum van de geruchten staat Lujendra Ojha, een student aan het Georgia Institute of Technology. Hij zou "per ongeluk" bewijs gevonden hebben dat er water vloeit op Mars nadat hij in 2011 beelden bestudeerde van de planeet. Ojha zal tijdens de persconferentie het woord nemen.

Ojha onderzocht en bewerkte beelden van het Marsoppervlak en vond vormen die zich over de planeet lijken te bewegen op een manier waarop water ook beweegt. Na die ontdekking onderzocht Ojha jarenlang of de bewegende patronen echt water waren. 

Het zou dus heel goed kunnen dat er water vloeit op Mars en dat er zelfs een oceaan is. De gevolgen van de ontdekking zouden gigantisch zijn, omdat water kan betekenen dat er ooit leven op de planeet is geweest. 

Dat er water op Mars is, is niet nieuw. Wetenschappers ontdekten 40 jaar geleden al ijskappen. Maar tot nu was er nog geen bewijs van de aanwezigheid van vloeibaar water. 

Morgen weten we wat NASA nu zo graag wil aankondigen en of er echt water over Mars stroomt. 

De persconferentie is live te bekijken via NASA.tv.

Location of sighting: Russia
News source: http://en.yibada.com/articles/68022/20150927/ufo-sighting-causes-car-crash-in-russia.htm

This is a cool video posted by Myunhauen74 of Youtube. A UFO is moving over the road, distracting the drivers so much that they get into an accident. I would like to see that on the police report. "Aliens made me do it officer!" Yeah, focus on driving guys. Safety first, UFOs second.

News states:
One person died and another was seriously hurt in Udmurt Republic, western Russia, when a vehicle crashed because of an alleged UFO sighting. Like Us on Facebook Mirror reports that video footage on a car dashboard camera showed another vehicle, a small white car, collide with a lorry near Izhevsk. In the same footage, an object is seen moving in the sky erratically. The UFO was also visible to other travelers on the same road. According to Daily Mail, the lorry was seen swerving on to the verge to the road's right which forced the white car to swerve into the road. However, another car on the opposite of the road hit the white car and flew off the road. The British daily says the drivers involve in the crash were likely distracted by the UFO, causing them not to look to the road and the traffic on the opposite lane. The lorry's driver was not hurt but is undergoing treatment for shock. The 60-year-old driver of the car died, while his 22-year-old passenger was badly injured and is in the hospital. Police are investigating the UFO sighting. The incident happened on Sept. 18, and since it was posted, the 50-second video had gone viral with almost 17,000 views.

I was on my phone and someone messaged saying that the moon looked beautiful tonight a it did. I the looked out the window to see 4 red lights in the sky. At first I thought it was glare coming from the window, then I opened my window to discover these orbs flying across the sky. I took a picture then called my mother. I habe never felt so nervous in my life. When I was speaking to her she could see the orbs flying where I was I could see exactly where they were coming from. I seen 4 orbs form a diamond shape then orb into one then shoot across the sky one at a time. All In there were 7-8 orbs flying in the same flight path.

Woman Who Drew Alien Star Map Shows Authenticity of Experience

From every corner of the world, and for people of different races, cultures, creeds, ages and occupations, there are tales of alleged abductions. Of course, these stories are not by terrestrial kidnappers looking for a quick cash, but extraterrestrials looking for – well it is not cash. While no two abduction accounts are identical, there are similarities to take seriously. While some detail the possibility, there are those that describe the experience. This falls into the latter category.  It was way back in 1961 that Betty and Barney Hill first claimed that aliens abducted them.

The couple tried to prove their experience by Betty drawing a precise map of where she claims a home for the aliens. Unfortunately, their claims were thrown out by an expert because the latter believed that there’s no constellation resembled on it. However, one expert says that truth is near on their claims. David Saunders, the famous statistician, says that the image drawn by Betty Hill’s resembles Zeta Reticuli, which happens to be a vast star binary system in the southern constellation of Reticulum }. He argues that Betty cannot randomly sketch the star map if, in the first place, she never seen it. Betty died in 2004, but she previously shared her abduction story. She was being taken on board. The examiner is the one who did the testing. They were being put into a stool, checked her eyes, nose, ears, and throat. She further claimed that the examiner went on to check her nervous system. The scariest part is when the aliens inserted a needle-like instrument in her navel part that caused pain. The same way goes to Barney, except that, aliens are more interested in his bone structure. The climax of her abduction story is when she met the alien leader. She asked the residence of the alien, and upon replying, he showed her the star map. The made Betty drew the map under hypnosis.

Vandenberg — It hovered in our pasture shortly until a rocket was launched in 1989. My Japanese wife and dog were dazed for several days after their encounter. I called the Vandenberg duty officer informing him of my suspicion, they said, “It was their launching of a rocket.” I argued the distance was too far from our ranch to the rocket site. Their next launch looked like a matchstick, while this burning orange object was the size of a helicopter. He recommended calling Lemoore Naval Air Base because they were doing experimental flights, so once again I called

A few days later an insurance man shows ups claiming one of us called for an estimate. My wife tells him about the encounter, but neither of us called? Shortly afterwards our curtains were closed when we were awaken by bright search light lighting up our bedroom. There was no sound just a light rain and I saw nothing and found no tire tracks. Also another rancher nearby was having so many upsetting encounters, she called CNN News and had a video to prove her story of harassment by UFO’s to family and horses. She called Lemmore Naval Air Base to complain many times. It is my opinion they were observing the launches and disguised their presences by taking off exactly the same time as Vandenberg launches its rockets. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Triangle

Denver — I was flying a Frontier Airlines flight to Dallas FW, departing at about 4:50 PM. We had arrived at our cruising altitude about 10 minutes before seeing the object. I saw an odd shaped object leaving a strange looking vapor trail and snapped a few pictures. The object was moving west and made a roll maneuver to assume an east path to fly parallel with our flight. It held this path for about twenty seconds before suddenly disappearing. The object appears to be small – the pictures are taken with an iPhone 5 and in the five images, you can track it before it dives out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Strange Light

Kissimmee — I witnessed this weird flying object on September 19, 2015. It was ascending from 20k feet to like 40k feet in seconds.

It then descended from 40k to 10 k feet in less than a second. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Idaho Lights

Nampa — My girlfriend and I were walking to the store when we noticed that there were numerous lights in a circular formation off to the east on September 20, 2015. We saw a huge set of lights over Nampa. My first initial thought was that it was a UFO, so we kept watching. It hovered silently as we kept watching and were smiling and a little nervous. I got chills all over my body me and my girlfriend began talking about it a little worried. We sat watching for 25 minutes, when we lost sight of it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Light

Quincy – On September 18, 2015, I was driving a taxi in Boston, when I noticed a very bright light to the east. I get to my place and it is visible again moving strangely and silently so it can’t be a plane.

I am interested, took six shots of it, and watched it from 4:00 until 4:45 am, as it hovered. I have no idea what this could be. There is no star of any kind in this part of the sky. Very bright white light looked very large. Logan Airport I close but they are not in the flight pattern and it is 4 am. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan Lights

Fort Gratiot – I was on my patio lounge chair and noticed some lights brighter then the stars with binoculars on September 12, 2015, through tonight the 19^th. They had an oval shape of bright lights and a pulsating red and green light just above the bottom rim of bright lights. I have witnessed this for the last 8 days. I am 55 and only have binoculars, so I made drawings to explain them. They are a web of millions of tiny bright twinkling lights in a dome shape coming out of circular base forming a disk. They line up three in a row to form into triangles. They are above Port Huron in St. Clair County and Sarnia Ontario Canada. I knew it was not normal a UFO. Thanks to Nancy Walsh.

Montana Hovering Object

Argenta – On September 13, 2015, the witness was driving on Highway 278 in Southwestern Montana and saw a large object hovering over the mountains. He got out of his car and snapped a photo with his Polaroid camera. At that point, the object abruptly streaked away. A couple from Texas also stopped and really “freaked out” by what they saw. The witness stated, “I felt electrical energy” in the air and my hair “stood on end.” The object was emitting beams of light and had very long wings with an upward protrusion at the end of each wing. The object was visible 200 feet off the ground and streaked away towards Badger Pass.

Note: I know a witness who is a retired pilot and consider him reliable. The probability of a hoax is very low considering that the photo was taken with an old Polaroid camera (model SX-70). The above image was scanned by a print shop and not of great quality. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

New Jersey Sightings

Atlantic City — I am a police officer and I was on a scene when I observed a glowing orange orb on September 6, 2015, traveling at an extremely low speed overhead. The object did not make a sound nor did it have any of the usual lights associated with a plane or helicopter. Both of the aforementioned are extremely common in the area and I am very familiar with both. While on scene, I took my phone out and recorded two videos of it. The first had a flash on, but due to the sensitivity of the scene, I quickly ended the first video, turned off the flash, and then resumed filming. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Warrior writes, “I was working in the front room around 3 am, and heard a noise like a lawn mower. It was going on for quite a long time, I said to myself who would cut their grass at 2 A, so I went to the window to see. I was on the top third floor and realized there was no grass in the flats below and that it couldn’t be a lawn mower. I was shocked when I looked out of the window to see a black hovercraft type craft outside the window on August 12, 2015 at 1:42 pm. It was shiny black metallic and I could see the driver’s area lit up and the driver was wearing orange overalls. I could not see a face as a white helmet was worn with a gasmask with a hose like the air bag on an accordion. There was dark goggle like mask on the eye area, and the hands had dark gloves. The person looked human and the craft reflected the light. I ran to my bedroom to tell my husband and tried to wake him, but he wouldn’t get up. I ran back to my daughter’s room and saw the craft was still there with the person looking my way. I flashed the light on and off to show I knew of their presence, then after about 20 seconds it left like a flash.” Picture is a rendering. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Orb

Farmingville — letting our dogs out at night, I saw a huge red orange light come up over tree line across street on September 18, 2015. It was moving faster than anything I have seen with no sound. I am ex military and a current NYC detective and never seen an aircraft move so fast. It came toward me a little lower than normal flight levels. It turned north, bobbled a lot and straightens out flying higher in front of a plane that was flying much slower. The plane changed course and followed the light but it just went out. I called my wife to come outside as within two minutes it came again even faster. We videoed and it came back again then we lost it again. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Glow

Miamisburg — The dark sky was clear and I was seeing an orange glow in the sky on September 15, 2015. We were coming back from Kroger’s grocery store and I got my camera phone and snapped this picture.

It was taken at 9:30 PM, of a series of strange moving lights.

I was with my mom and I was excited and amazed by the object until it vanished.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Lights

Richmond — I reported a sighting of 6 to 12 UFO’s on February 8, 2014. Since then I have had anywhere from 6 to 10 UFO’s flying around my apartment including the latest on September 17, 2015. The UFO’s hover in various places in the area and small Cessna airplanes seem to be keeping and eye on them. On any clear night, you can see the UFO’s, and the Cessna aircraft nearby. I have taken many pictures of these UFO’s and would like somebody to check these things out. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Reports

Australia Disc

Alderley — On August 23, 2015, I spotted a disc shaped UFO outside my kitchen window. I filed a report but didn’t have my camera. However, this time, I was staring out the window as many aircraft flew by and all showed up on radar. I observed a fast light like a shooting star that slowed and became stationary. It was another disc, like the one I saw the other day. The object was west of me, probably above Brisbane. I got my camera and zoomed in using a tripod. There are lights in a line, which were surrounding the disc. There was a flash above it in the clouds and it disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Huge UFO

Scarborough, Ontario — Paul Shishis writes, “September 21, 2015 while on morning break I was outside alone checking the eastern sky when something dark caught my eye at 10:11 am. It was doing a zigzag pattern directly above the roof and then flew in a straighter path. Its movements were indeed strange, so I started to snap pictures hoping to reveal better detail. I took twelve pictures – the last one shown is on a slight zoom. Only two pictures caught the unknown dark craft that appears to be a classical disk like flying saucer! The sighting lasted about two minutes and I lost sight of it heading west towards Toronto. I do feel very lucky to have captured it on film due to its very high altitude. Thanks to Paul Shishis

Mexico Cylinder

Guadalajara — I am sorry I changed the color of the photos so much, but it’s the best way to see as much of the UFO as possible taken on September 13, 2015. In one of the photos, I can see a pilot of the craft standing up. The cockpit window is so transparent; we can’t see it in the photos below. The UFOs propulsion is causing a distortion field around it. That is why its shape seems to be changing, but it is not. This is the most uniquely shaped UFO and interesting design I have ever seen. Thanks to Scott C. WaringUfo Sightings Daily

Costa Rica Cloud

 Escazu — Here we have what I believe to be a UFO above a cloud on September 2015. Its color is iridescent. Many UFOs are iridescent as seen in reports around the world. This UFO is observing the humans below. We intrigue them and that is a good thing. It shows they care in some way.
Scott C. Waring Ufo Sightings Daily

News states:
An iridescent, multi-hued cloud phenomenon was recently spotted in Costa Rican skies, and residents were left awestruck and mystified. The spectacle in the sky was reported this past Tuesday afternoon in numerous cities including, San Jose, Parrita, Pavas, Escazu and Hatillo. Coincidentally, the sighting occurred on the country’s Independence Day. Many witnesses took to social media to post photos and video of the luminous cloud formation, with some even noting that it looked like an “end of times” scene. News source:

Portugal Light

Grandola — I saw a white light hovering in the air that rose and fell on September 15, 2015; I found it strange because it made a noise like a helicopter. That’s when I saw it several meters away with a very intense white light hovering in the air. I went into euphoria and woke up my wife to witness what I had just seen. She has a lot of respect when it comes to these phenomena and after told me to go to sleep. I picked up my camera and recorded everything as it rose up so high that I lost sight of it. Then it came back and stayed for three hours. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Spain Triangle

Cartagena – Sitting in the hotel room balcony enjoying the sunset when I suddenly saw the ufo hovering the clouds.

It was on August 8, 2015, that we saw the triangular craft flying amidst clouds.

Thailand Ezekiel’s Wheel

Bangkok — This UFO orb was captured by DT Smile Love of YouTube on September 14, 2015. This type of UFO is often seen, but often mistaken and dismissed as stars or planets. The UFO is not a sphere, but a disk, tilted on end like a wheel, similar to the Biblical Ezekiel’s wheel of 593 BC. This way, the UFO can allow itself to be seen as it studies you from a distance.
Scott C. Waring Ufo Sightings Daily The eyewitness states:
“It is a strange but very beautiful star or UFO; there are many of them and all are changing colors.”

UK/England Lights

Norfolk — I have been watching the skies recently noticing flashes of white or blue light that are like camera flashes. I stood at my back door on July 21, 2015, and noticed what looked like a larger star moving towards my house from the south. It then changed direction and altitude heading northeast. It climbed and stopped, then descended and hovered. I felt intimidated by it as the light disappeared over the houses. Since then I have had numerous sightings and photos of these encounters. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Taunton Somerset — We saw a red and blue lights moving very slowly coming downward then flying up, then stopping, then turning left and right on September 20, 2015. It was coming towards where we were standing in our garden. When I started to take photos, it then started to move away very slowly and drop lower behind the trees. What made us aware of the object was its bright color. We also noticed it because of its strange movement that we have never seen before. We felt excited to see this out of ordinary object. .

REVEALED: MoD's 'secret investigation' into mass UFO sightings that rocked Welsh village

MINISTRY of Defence (MoD) chiefs launched a top-secret probe into one of Britain's most notorious mass UFO sighting cases at the height if the Cold War, it has been claimed.

What’s Behind NASA’s Upcoming Mystery Announcement About Mars?

Our best guess: flowing water, and the potential for alien life.

The science of the BIBLE: From time being slower when the world was created to Moses being on drugs, researchers reveal how miracles may really have happened

• Gerald Schroeder says he can explain how universe was created in 6 days
• His theory is based on using Albert Einstein's theory that time is relative
• Noah's flood may have been result of climate change, say some scientists
• Moses was taking a local hallucinogenic substance derived from leaves of the ayahuasca plant when he heard the voice of God, one researcher says 

By ELLIE ZOLFAGHARIFARD FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The bible says the universe was created in six days. Scientists say it was created in 13.8 billion years.

Gerald Schroeder has famously attempted to reconcile this difference using Albert Einstein's theory that time is relative.

The physicist, who teaches at the College of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem, claims 'time is different [for humans] than it is from the perspective of the Creator.'

The bible says the universe was created in six days. Scientists say it was created in 13.8 billion years. Gerald Schroeder has famously attempted to reconcile this difference using Albert Einstein's theory that time is relative. The physicist, claims 'time is different [for humans] than it is from the perspective of the Creator'

But Schroeder isn't the only one who has attempted to explain miracles in the bible with science.

From Moses being on drugs to global warming being blamed on Noah's flood, some scientists believe there's a logical explanation for every event in the Old Testament.

The creation of the universe

According to an in-depth report by Atlas Obscura, Schroeder's believes time when the universe was created was about a trillion times slower, due to what he calls the 'stretching factor' in Einstein's equations.

Einstein's model of 'general relativity,' the faster things go, the slower time moves. And Schroeder says because light moves so fast, it affects time.

Schroeder argues that change in perspective changed the meaning of the six days. Six of these 24-trillion-hour days come out to a little over 14 billion years

'When the Bible describes the day-by-day development of our universe in the six days following the creation, it is truly referring to six 24-hour days,' he writes.

'But the reference frame by which those days were measured was one which contained the total universe.'

Schroeder argues that change in perspective changed the meaning of the six days. Six of these 24-trillion-hour days come out to a little over 14 billion years.

His theory has been widely dismissed. Peter Enns, a biblical scholar, said its 'absurd that you can actually find physics in Genesis I.'

UK researchers claim that 'Adam' walked the earth 209,000 years ago, contradicting a recent study that suggested the Y chromosome predated humanity

Life on Earth came out of clay

The Bible, Koran and even Greek mythology claim that all life on Earth came from clay.

In religious texts from ancient Egypt to Chinese legends, God moulds clay into the shape of man and then breathes life into him through his nostrils.

Even Genesis talks of man being born from dust and returning to dust when he dies, with scholars translating this from the ancient Hebrew as also meaning clay or the earth itself.

A study in 2013 attempted to back up these claims. It said clay acts as a breeding laboratory for tiny molecules and chemicals which it 'absorbs like a sponge'.

The process takes billions of years, during which the chemicals react to each other to form proteins, DNA and, eventually, living cells, scientists told the journal Scientific Reports.

Biological Engineers from Cornell University's department for Nanoscale Science in New York believe clay 'might have been the birthplace of life on Earth'.

In his book River Out Of Eden, the atheist Richard Dawkins set out to take us back to one common ancestor. He used a mathematical model to work backwards through DNA genealogy, saying: 'There has to be a woman of whom this claim can be made. The only argument is over whether she lived here rather than there'

Adam and Eve

In his book River Out Of Eden, the atheist Richard Dawkins set out to take us back to one common ancestor - a black woman who lived in Africa a quarter of a million years ago.

He used a complicated mathematical model to work backwards through our DNA genealogy, saying:

'There has to be a woman of whom this claim can be made. The only argument is over whether she lived here rather than there, at this time rather than at that time.

'The fact that she did live, in some place and at some time, is certain.'

So to the extent that Eve is our common ancestor, even the Godless believe she existed.

And last year a study found most common male ancestor, 'Adam' existed 9,000 years earlier than scientists believed.

UK researchers claim that 'Adam' walked the earth 209,000 years ago, contradicting a recent study that suggested the Y chromosome predated humanity.

Their findings puts 'Adam' within the timeframe of his other half 'Eve', the genetic maternal ancestor of mankind.

Another event in the Bible that has been targeted by scientists is Moses's parting of the Red Sea, in time for the Israelites to cross and escape the Pharoh's encroaching army. In 2010, Carl Drew, transformed the Exodus's story of the Red Sea parting into a computer model (pictured) to show it could have occured

Parting of the Red Sea 

Another event in the Bible that has been targeted by scientists is Moses's parting of the Red Sea, in time for the Israelites to cross and escape the Pharoh's encroaching army. 

In 2010, Carl Drew, a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), transformed the Exodus's story of the Red Sea parting into a computer model. 

He changed the 'strong east wind' into ones that were 63 miles per hour, applied it to a reconstruction of a spot in the Nile Delta,

He concluded that this could indeed have 'divided the waters.'

In the book of Genesis, God despairs of human corruption and decides to flood the Earth, instructing Noah to build an ark to save himself, his family and a pair of each animal species. Researchers have suggested that, during a warming period in the cycle of the Earth's temperature around 5600BC

Noah's flood

In the book of Genesis, God despairs of human corruption and decides to flood the Earth, instructing Noah to build an ark to save himself, his family and a pair of each animal species.

Researchers have suggested that, during a warming period in the cycle of the Earth's temperature around 5600BC, melting glaciers caused an onrush of seawater from the Mediterranean.

This cascaded through Turkey's Straits of Bosporus - dry land at the time - to the Black Sea, transforming it from a freshwater lake into a vast saltwater inlet.

In the 1990s, drawing on archaeological and anthropological evidence, Colombia University geologists William Ryan and Walter Pitman claimed that 'ten cubic miles of water poured through each day', and that the deluge continued for at least 300 days.

More than 60,000 square miles of land were flooded, and the lake's level rose by hundreds of feet after merging with the Mediterranean, triggering mass animal migrations across Europe.

The researchers, whose findings have been backed up by carbon dating and sonar imaging, claim that the story of Noah's flood had its origin in this cataclysmic event.

This is a pivotal moment in the Passover story, in which God speaks to Moses from a burning bush and tells him: 'I am come down to deliver [the Israelites] out of the hand of the Egyptians.' Scientists believe the bush was either growing over a natural gas vent, or could have combusted because of local volcanic action

The Burning Bush 

This is a pivotal moment in the Passover story, in which God speaks to Moses from a burning bush and tells him: 'I am come down to deliver [the Israelites] out of the hand of the Egyptians.' 

Scientists believe the bush was either growing over a natural gas vent, or could have spontaneously combusted because of local volcanic action. 

Norwegian physicist Dag Kristian Dysthe has studied the subsurface combustion of organic material in Mali, West Africa, and concludes such events do happen in the natural world. 

As for the voice of God, Hebrew University psychology professor Benny Shannon proposes that Moses was taking a local hallucinogenic substance derived from leaves of the ayahuasca plant found in the Negev and Sinai deserts.

The Ancient Egyptian civilization, thousands of years older than previously thought

Is it possible that the Great Pyramids of Giza are over 7000 years old?

 

It looks like an Ostrich egg is questioning the age of the Pyramids of Giza postulated by mainstream archaeology.

 

Some evidence casts doubt on the actual chronology of Egyptian pharaohs. The Turin King List, also known as the Turin Royal Canon, raises many questions that science does not seem to accept. Despite attempts at reconstruction, approximately 50% of the papyrus remains missing. This papyrus as presently constituted is 1.7 m long and 0.41 m wide, broken into over 160 fragments.

 

The Egyptian hieratic papyrus thought to date from the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II contradicts the established dates and chronologies on the Egyptian world. Researchers are coming across great amount of information which suggests that Egypt is much older than what archaeology and history are telling us.

 

The Turin King List is currently located over 3000 kilometers from the land of the Pharaohs, deposited in the Egyptian museum in Turin, Italy. It was discovered in 1822 by Bernardino Drovetti in the ancient Egyptian capital of Thebes. The list was translated by Jean-François Champollion, known primarily as the decipherer of the Egyptian hieroglyphs and a founding figure in the field of Egyptology. Even though the The Turin King List has numerous historical details, modern-day archaeology has chosen to ignore it.

 

The Shemsu Hor

 

 

Accordion to the Turin King List, Egypt was ruled by beings -half man, half gods who received the name or title of Shems Hor (the “companions of Horus”). The 1.7 meter long list tells a different story than that accepted by mainstream Egyptologists. The Turin King list points to the fact that the first government in the Nile Valley was not that of Pharaoh Menes 5000 years ago as archaeology believes, but around 11,000 years ago. This revolutionary king list appears ratified largely by another story equally despised by archaeologists: The texts of Manetho dating back to 240 BC. Manetho, who was a priest of the sun-god Ra at Heliopolis was commissioned by Pharaoh Ptolemy II to write the history of Egypt from the beginning. According to Manetho, before Menes, the first pharaohs of the First Dynasty, Egypt was ruled by a demigods for thousands of years. The Greco-Egyptian high priest does not mention the Hor Shems like The Turin King list, but the coincidence is incredible.

 

There are more artifacts that suggest the history of Egypt is wrong. A Orstrich egg deposited in the Museum of Nubia, south of Egypt suggests ancient Egypt is older than we are told by history and archaeology. The discovery was made by English archaeologist, Mallaby Cecil Firth in 1907. The egg, painted and deposited in the tomb, had several different drawings on its surface, on one side it had depictions of plants and ostriches while on the other side, an impossible scenery: The Great Pyramids of Giza.

 

This discovery is incredible just because of the depiction of the pyramids. Why? Because according to researchers, the human remains found at tomb 96 where the Ostrich egg was found date back to the Nagada I culture; 7000 years ago. This is something impossible since Archaeology and history tell us that the pyramids at the Giza plateau are around 4.500 years old.

 

So who is wrong? Ancient texts and depictions of the pyramids that date back thousands of years ago? Or archaeologists and historians who firmly hang onto their beliefs?

Do UFO’s and Aliens Exist? 20 Reasons to be Skeptical

UFOs exist – that much we should all be willing to concede.

But let’s quickly clarify that UFOs are very likely not aliens from outer space.  They are simply objects that are flying and whose identification has eluded us for the time being.  Simply put, they are, as the name implies, unidentified flying objects.

If, one day, extraterrestrial intelligence were ever to be discovered (especially here on Earth), then it would require extraordinary and reliable evidence.  After all, one could argue that this would be the greatest discovery for humanity to finally answer the question… are we alone?

So, blurry pictures, shaky videos, and spooky anecdotes aside, here are 20 things to consider before coming to the conclusion that what you’re seeing or hearing about is actually a UFO piloted by an alien from outer space…

Lightning Sprites

Sprites are large electrical discharges that occur above thunderstorm clouds.  They can be in various shapes and are sometimes even preceded by a sprite halo, which is pancake-shaped (a-la-UFO).  Sprites are visible from the ground but have also been reported by pilots and seen from space.

An electrical sprite.

Missile Tests 

Remember the viral video about the UFO spiral in Norway?  The military is constantly testing new technology, and sometimes we’re fortunate enough to witness their failures.  In this particular case, it was the Russian’s testing their Bulova missile.  When its rocket motor spun out of control, it created the spiral of white light near where the missile was launched from a submarine in the White Sea.

Cloud Formations   

Hole punch clouds (also known as fallstreak holes) are a rare type of spectacular cloud formation which looks like a hole was literally punched through the clouds.   They are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not actually frozen yet.  When the conditions are right and ice crystals form (perhaps as a result of a jet flying through) it sets off a domino effect causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate.  This leaves a large (often circular or elliptical) hole in the clouds which can give the illusion of a UFO.  Another cloud type – lenticular clouds – are also commonly mistaken for flying saucers.

Weather Balloons

Weather balloons come in all shapes and sizes, and depending on the viewer’s vantage point, they can easily be misidentified as a UFO.  Even at night, they can be lit up by the sun on the day-side of the Earth, making the illusion of a UFO all the more convincing.

How weather balloons are lit up at night…

Venus (or Other Planets)

The planet Venus is very often mistaken for an airplane, satellite, or UFO.  It’s the second brightest object in the sky – only the moon is brighter – and sometimes is reported by people driving in cars that it’s a fast moving object, hovering 500 ft or so above the horizon.   Because Venus is close to the Sun, it never ventures far from the horizon – exactly where you’d expect to see a landing airplane… or apparently, a flying saucer.

Bonus fact:  Venus is so bright that it can even be seen during daylight – this is known as a daylight disc.  Because this is a rare and quite an unusual sight, it’s often reported as a UFO.

Illumination flares dropped from planes can give the illusion of multiple bright objects moving in the sky in “formation”.  Perhaps one of the most famous examples occurred on March 13^th, 1997, when, starting at around 10PM, hundreds of not thousands of people in the Phoenix area witnessed a row of brilliant lights hovering in the sky, and then slowly falling.  As explained in the Wikipedia article on the Phoenix Lights:

• The U.S. Air Force explained the second event as slow-falling, long-burning LUU-2B/B illumination flares dropped by a flight of four A-10 Warthog aircraft on a training exercise at the Barry Goldwater Range at Luke Air Force Base. According to this explanation, the flares would have been visible in Phoenix and appeared to hover due to rising heat from the burning flares creating a “balloon” effect on their parachutes, which slowed the descent. The lights then appeared to wink out as they fell behind the Sierra Estrella, a mountain range to the southwest of Phoenix.
• A Maryland Air National Guard pilot, Lt. Col. Ed Jones, responding to a March 2007 media query, confirmed that he had flown one of the aircraft in the formation that dropped flares on the night in question. The squadron to which he belonged was in fact at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona on a training exercise at the time and flew training sorties to the Barry Goldwater Range on the night in question, according to the Maryland Air National Guard. A history of the Maryland Air National Guard published in 2000 asserted that the squadron, the 104th Fighter Squadron, was responsible for the incident. The first reports that members of the Maryland Air National Guard were responsible for the incident were published in The Arizona Republic newspaper in July 1997.

Lanterns or other Light Decorations  

With the increased popularity of light decorations like Chinese lanterns, it’s no coincidence that UFO reports have also increased.  And there’s good reason – from a distance, Chinese lanterns look very strange – hovering brilliantly in the sky, slowly moving.  When there’s a group of lanterns at once, they tend to move in unison due to the wind giving the appearance of multiple flying objects in the sky.

Airplanes, Helicopters, Drones, Satellites, or the ISS

If an airplane is flying directly at you at night, its lights will appear very bright and may fluctuate in size.  At the same time, because its going towards you (rather than horizontally) it will look like it’s hovering in place.  Helicopters and drones can produce a similar effect (in fact, pranksters have attached very bright LEDs to quadrocopters to make it look like a UFO).

Satellites and the ISS can also move across the sky in an eerie fashion, and can appear especially bright depending on atmospheric conditions and their position relative to the Sun.

Military Experiments or Aircraft

The late 1940s and early 1950s were a great time for spotting UFOs and aliens in New Mexico, primarily because that’s where the Air Force was conducting some of its top-secret research. One such program was known as Project Mogul and involved floating microphone-carrying balloons to high altitudes in an attempt to pick up the sound waves generated by Soviet atomic bomb tests. The Air Force has since confirmed that a 1947 crash of one of those balloons created the debris that birthed the Roswell UFO Incident (more on that below).

On another occasion, residents of County Cowley, Kansas, thought a UFO had been captured and was being transported through town.  Much to the dismay of ufologists,  a spokesperson for Northrop Grumman (an aircraft manufacturer) revealed that the object was a covered wingless version of its X-47B craft being transported from California’s Edwards Air Force Base to Patuxent River, Maryland.  It was further explained that they shrink-wrapped the rest of the fuselage after taking the wings off the drone for the cross-country road trip.

A Hoax or Prank

The Russian Dead Alien, the Haiti UFO video, the Jerusalem UFO… all hoaxes or pranks.  If there’s fame to be had, then there’s someone out there trying to gain it.

Crop Circles Are Just Made By Humans

Despite countless admissions from pranksters, people continue to believe that crop circles are a message from aliens.  However, conspiracy theorists argue that “that’s what they’d like us to believe“…

The Face on Mars Is An Illusion

Was the discovery of a face on Mars an example of alien architecture?  No, but it’s a great example of pareidolia.

This phenomenon – detecting something clear and distinct from an apparently obscure stimulus – is called “pareidolia“. Carl Sagan hypothesized that, as a survival technique, human beings are “hard-wired” from birth to identify the human face. This allows people to use only minimal details to recognize faces from a distance and in poor visibility but can also lead them to interpret random images or patterns of light and shade as being faces.  If you look at modern high resolution images of the Face on Mars, it’s clearly just the shape of the natural landscape.

The “face” on Mars…

The Roswell Incident and Alien Autopsy Was a Hoax

In 1995, a grainy, black-and-white film surfaced that had supposedly been shot by the military shortly after the Roswell incident in 1947 (which we previously discussed was the crash from Project Mogul).  The video shows a post-mortem dissection of an alien body, and was touted as evidence of what some UFO buffs had claimed all along: that alien bodies had been recovered from the Roswell crash site by the U.S. government.

Soon after the alien autopsy footage was broadcast on Fox television, serious doubts were raised about its authenticity. Skeptics (and even many UFO researchers) branded the film a hoax, pointing out anachronisms and inconsistencies in the film. In 2006, the special effects artist who created the alien body shown in the video confessed that it was in fact an elaborate hoax.2

The Term “Flying Saucer” is the Result of Poor Reporting  

The familiar term “flying saucer” is actually the result of a reporter’s error. After interviewing Kenneth Arnold about his sighting, a reporter from the Eastern Oregonian newspaper reported that Arnold saw round, aerial objects (in fact he said they were “crescent shaped”). Arnold said that the objects “flew erratic, like a saucer if you skip it across the water”—not that what he saw resembled an actual saucer.

Yet that “saucer” interpretation stuck, prompting many eyewitnesses to repeat (and hoaxers to duplicate) Arnold’s nonexistent description. This strongly shows the role of suggestion in UFO sightings; as skeptic Marty Kottmeyer asks, “Why would extraterrestrials redesign their craft to conform to [the reporter’s] mistake?”  Also, one should ask, “Where were all the UFO sightings before the article was publicized by mass media?”

Alien Abductions Are a Product of Our Culture

In The Demon-Haunted World, astronomer Carl Sagan points out that the alien abduction experience is remarkably similar to tales of demon abduction common throughout history.

• “There is no spaceship in these stories. But most of the central elements of the alien abduction account are present, including sexually obsessive non-humans who live in the sky, walk through walls, communicate telepathically, and perform breeding experiments on the human species. Unless we believe that demons really exist, how can we understand so strange a belief system, embraced by the whole Western world (including those considered the wisest among us), reinforced by personal experience in every generation, and taught by Church and State? Is there any real alternative besides a shared delusion based on common brain wiring and chemistry?”

Alien abduction?

Alien Implants Aren’t From Aliens

It is claimed that aliens have implanted various objects in human abductees. Victims claim to have found small objects in their bodies and come to the conclusion they must have been abducted.  Some alien implants have even been recovered, and when they are tested, they are found to be indestructible or of materials not found on Earth.  Really?

Using the magic of science, we can test this.

Joe Nickell, a columnist for Skeptical Inquirer magazine, noted that, “Since 1994, alleged implants have been surgically recovered but they’ve become remarkably diverse: one looks like a shard of glass, another a triangular piece of metal, still another a carbon fiber, and so on. None was located in the brain or nasal cavity, instead being recovered from such extremities as toe, hand, shin, external ear, etc.; some were accompanied by scars while others were not. As physicians know, a foreign object can enter the body unnoticed, as during a fall, or while running barefoot in sand or grass—even as a splinter from a larger impacting object.” People find all sorts of weird things in their bodies, but so far none are of alien origin.

SETI is Actively Looking For UFOs

UFOs are usually observed by untrained people and almost never by professional or amateur astronomers who spend their lives staring up at the skies looking for extraterrestrial life.   They’re never captured in picture or video with high end optical equipment that can be properly analyzed in greater detail.  Isn’t that a bit odd?  Don’t you think that since SETI (whose sole mission is to find extraterrestrial life) would have found something, anything – anything! – that could confirm at least one of the many alleged UFO videos or pictures out there?

Also, one would think that with the increased availability of smart phones to take video and photos, you’d see many more high quality videos and photos of UFOs, but in fact, the videos are just as lousy – they’re  out-of-focus and just as shaky.

The Drake Equation   

The Drake Equation, developed by Frank Drake in 1961, is a tool to estimate the odds of finding intelligent life in the universe. The estimates for the variables are rife with debate, but as technology improves, the estimates for each of the variables become more accurate.

Plug in some numbers and try it out for yourself – the odds are still exceptionally low that intelligent alien life is even out there, let alone hovering in our backyard.

Just because “we don’t know” doesn’t make it a UFO

Now, since the majority of UFOs can be explained, what about the ones that can’t?  One must be careful to not fall into the trap of “just because we can’t explain it, therefore, aliens”.

Sure, there are some cases of UFOs that are legitimately unidentifiable – that is, we still don’t know what they are.  But the fact that some pilots or scientists claim that cannot think of an explanation is not proof that they have observed an extraterrestrial spacecraft.  It simply means they don’t know what they saw.

It seems reasonable to believe that the main reason we can’t explain some UFO sightings is because we simply do not have enough evidence.  If we had more evidence, these sightings could very likely be explained by conventional means.

I don’t know… therefore, aliens!

But you can’t prove what I saw was NOT a UFO!

Another common tactic of UFOlogists is to claim that the skeptic cannot prove that what was seen was not an alien craft. One is supposed to infer from this fact that the perception probably was of an alien craft. This kind of reasoning is known as the argumentum ad ignorantiam. A claim does not become true or reasonable if a contrary claim cannot be proved to be true. With arguments for UFOs there are two distinct moves here.

One is to claim that no logical explanation is possible because some scientist, pilot, Air Force Colonel, or Ph.D. cannot think of one.  This logical fallacy is known as the “Argument from Authority”.  If an authority says “it’s gotta be a UFO, then it’s gotta be a UFO”.  Not true.

The other is to point to the lack of contrary evidence: no counter-testimony of other eyewitnesses, no proof that there were not aliens or alien spacecraft. Here, too, there is a logical fallacy. The fact that someone can’t come up with an explanation for something is irrelevant to deciding whether the correct explanation should be couched in terms of aliens from outer space.

The choice is not either (A) we know this explanation is correct or (B) we must conclude that aliens have visited us.

The Bottom Line

Of the many paranormal ideas/mysteries/legends out there, UFOs and “intelligent aliens” are at least somewhat plausible – though unfortunately I think there is an reasonably high probability that the human race will never encounter intelligent beings from outer space.  But one can hope that one day, extraordinary evidence will presented and we will celebrate the proof that we are not alone in this universe…

I want to believe… and I will only believe once extraordinary evidence is presented to me…

VIDEO: Hoe zal onze eerste ontmoeting met buitenaardse wezens zijn?

Een documentaire over een gebeurtenis die (nog) nooit heeft plaatsgevonden: onze eerste ontmoeting met buitenaards leven.

Het VN-bureau voor Outer Space Affairs in Wenen, vooraanstaande wetenschappers van NASA, ESA en de International Space University (ISU) vertellen over hoe zij het eerste contact aanpakken. En wat daar allemaal bij komt kijken, zowel sociaal als psychologisch maar ook juridisch. De film schetst een ijzingwekkend geloofwaardig scenario van het eerste contact. Te beginnen met de meest eenvoudige vraag, zoals: waarom ben je hier?

The Visit: An Alien Encounter opent deuren van instanties en laat een werkelijkheid zien die vervreemdender is dan sciencefiction. De film laat zien hoe we het onbekende benaderen, maar legt vooral ook onze angsten en hoop bloot.

Op 8 oktober zal The Visit in de Nederlandse bioscopen te zien zijn. In deze documentaire is de vraag niet of, maar hoe de mensheid zal omgaan met buitenaardse wezens. Er worden scenario’s geschetst van wetenschappelijke, politieke en mogelijk militaire protocollen. De documentaire onderzoekt daarmee vooral wat het betekent om mens te zijn, en waarom we naar de sterren kijken, op zoek naar buitenaards leven.

Bekijk hieronder alvast een trailer van de film.

Buitenaards ruimteschip bij NELLIS AIRFORCE BASE, USA? ( Video )

De voormalig Canadese Minister van Defensie, Paul Hellyer, sprak al over de zogenaamde Tall Whites die op aarde verblijven. 

Nu zijn er opnames gemaakt van een vreemd object bij een Amerikaanse luchtmachtbasis dat weleens zou kunnen toebehoren aan deze Tall Whites. 

Een van de grotere Amerikaanse luchtmachtbasis is Nellis AFB in de buurt van Las Vegas in de staat Nevada. 

Er doen al lange tijd veel verhalen de ronde over dat er buitenaardsen zouden verblijven. 

Een bekende en prominente persoonlijkheid die veel weet over buitenaards leven is de voormalig Canadese Minister van Defensie, Paul Hellyer. 

Wat hij zegt is onder andere het volgende: 

1) Er zijn minimaal vier verschillende soorten buitenaardsen die de aarde de afgelopen duizenden jaren hebben bezocht.

2) De soorten hebben waarschijnlijk verschillende agenda’s en dienen niet beschouwd te worden als van hetzelfde ras. 

3) Een van die soorten is wat men noemt de Tall Whites. Volgens Hellyer werkt dit type samen met de Verenigde Staten.

4) Er leven op dit moment buitenaardsen op aarde. 

Volgens ufoloog Scott C. Waring is de plek waar de Tall Whites wonen een ondergrondse basis op het terrein van Nellis AFB. 

Bekijk met dat alles in het achterhoofd de video onderaan dit artikel. Het is een opname die enkele dagen geleden is gemaakt bij Nellis AFB. Dan zie je beelden van onbekende vliegende objecten boven de luchtmachtbasis.

Volgens Scott is de maker van onderstaande video erin geslaagd om een vertrekkend of aankomend schip van de Tall Whites vast te leggen. 

De maker van de video zegt dat dit niet de eerste keer is dat hij dit soort merkwaardige vliegende objecten vastlegt op die locatie. Hij verbaast zich het meest over de technologie die achter deze schepen moet zitten. De manier waarop ze van een bolvorm plotseling veranderen in een rij van objecten, zich vervolgens verspreiden en wegvliegen. 

Zo zegt hij, “Wanneer iemand mij vertelt dat onze luchtmacht hun tijd 25 jaar vooruit is dan zou ik daarop zeggen: meer dan 1.000 jaar en deze opnames bewijzen het”. 

Zo blijft de vraag bestaan of we hier te maken heb met een schip van de Tall Whites zoals Scott Waring denkt of met een vliegend object van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht dat misschien onderdeel uitmaakt van de geheime ruimtevloot.

Massive Triangular-Shaped Object Immersed Over Livermore Highway

For centuries, people were mystified and fascinated by the stories about aliens, UFOs and the existence of life on other planets and galaxies. Moreover, although there have been thousands of reported sightings around the world, no one has concretely provided enough evidence to shore up his or her facts, or assumptions. The idea of aliens was being discussed by many persons. In fact, researchers are currently exploring the existence of ancient aliens and whether they visited planet earth or not.

Let’s take an otherwise serious look at the strange case of massive triangular-shaped object immersed over Livermore highway. Livermore is a city situated in the Alameda County, California. It holds a population of around 85,156. A California witness claimed to have seen a massive dark triangular-shaped mysterious object moving overhead and quickly disappeared. She saw the object while traveling with her boyfriend about 11 PM along I-680 on September 14, 2015, while passing the 84 exit. The witness reported noticing bright lights, blue, red, and white upon sitting.  Due to the bright lights, she leaned forward and saw a triangular-shaped craft. While the colors surround the extraterrestrial crafts, it was the white lights that outlined the craft’s shape. Throughout her life, the witness had never seen a shape or size.

When she started to lean back, she took a glance at her boyfriend and realized they are both looking at the same thing. When she quickly looked back, the object blinked three times and vanished. For centuries, humanity keeps on asking certain questions about terrestrial beings. In the past, sightings ended up attributed to deities or angels and far more not too long ago as a UFO. It is not until the advancement of the technology that people started to label celestial apparitions as unidentified flying objects. Take note that mysterious object is either man-made or natural.

Deep Sea USO: Underwater Alien Stations and Gates

Funky Light Signal From Colliding Black Holes Explained

This simulation helps explain an odd light signal thought to be coming from a close-knit pair of merging black holes, PG 1302-102, located 3.5 billion light-years away. Image credit: Columbia University 
› Full image and caption

Entangled by gravity and destined to merge, two candidate black holes in a distant galaxy appear to be locked in an intricate dance. Researchers using data from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have come up with the most compelling confirmation yet for the existence of these merging black holes and have found new details about their odd, cyclical light signal.

The candidate black hole duo, called PG 1302-102, was first identified earlier this year using ground-based telescopes. The black holes are the tightest orbiting pair detected so far, with a separation not much bigger than the diameter of our solar system. They are expected to collide and merge in less than a million years, triggering a titanic blast with the power of 100 million supernovae.

Researchers are studying this pair to better understand how galaxies and the monstrous black holes at their cores merge -- a common occurrence in the early universe. But as common as these events were, they are hard to spot and confirm.

PG 1302-102 is one of only a handful of good binary black hole candidates. It was discovered and reported earlier this year by researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, after they scrutinized an unusual light signal coming from the center of a galaxy. The researchers, who used telescopes in the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey, demonstrated that the varying signal is likely generated by the motion of two black holes, which swing around each other every five years. While the black holes themselves don't give off light, the material surrounding them does.

In the new study, published in the Sept. 17 issue of Nature, researchers found more evidence to support and confirm the close-knit dance of these black holes. Using ultraviolet data from GALEX and Hubble, they were able to track the system's changing light patterns over the past 20 years.

"We were lucky to have GALEX data to look through," said co-author David Schiminovich of Columbia University in New York. "We went back into the GALEX archives and found that the object just happened to have been observed six times."

Hubble, which sees ultraviolet light in addition to visible and other wavelengths of light, had likewise observed the object in the past.

The ultraviolet light was important to test a prediction of how the black holes generate a cyclical light pattern. The idea is that one of the black holes in the pair is giving off more light -- it is gobbling up more matter than the other one, and this process heats up matter that emits energetic light. As this black hole orbits around its partner every five years, its light changes and appears to brighten as it heads toward us.

"It's as if a 60-Watt light bulb suddenly appears to be 100 Watts," explained Daniel D'Orazio, lead author of the study from Columbia University. "As the black hole light speeds away from us, it appears as a dimmer 20-Watt bulb."

What's causing the changes in light? One set of changes has to do with the "blue shifting" effect, in which light is squeezed to shorter wavelengths as it travels toward us in the same way that a police car's siren squeals at higher frequencies as it heads toward you. Another reason has to do with the enormous speed of the black hole.

The brighter black hole is, in fact, traveling at nearly seven percent the speed of light -- in other words, really fast. Though it takes the black hole five years to orbit its companion, it is traveling vast distances. It would be as if a black hole lapped our entire solar system from the outer fringes, where the Oort cloud of comets lies, in just five years. At speeds as high as this, which are known as relativistic, the light becomes boosted and brighter.

D'Orazio and colleagues modeled this effect based on a previous Caltech paper and predicted how it should look in ultraviolet light. They determined that, if the periodic brightening and dimming previously seen in the visible light is indeed due to the relativistic boosting effect, then the same periodic behavior should be present in ultraviolet wavelengths, but amplified 2.5 times. Sure enough, the ultraviolet light from GALEX and Hubble matched their predictions.

"We are strengthening our ideas of what's going on in this system and starting to understand it better," said Zoltan Haiman, a co-author from Columbia University who conceived the project.

The results will also help researchers understand how to find even closer-knit merging black holes in the future, what some consider the holy grail of physics and the search for gravitational waves. In the final moments before the ultimate union of two black holes, when they are tightly spinning around each other like ice skaters in a "death spiral," they are predicted to send out ripples in space and time. These so-called gravitational waves, whose existence follows from Albert Einstein's gravity theory published 100 years ago, hold clues about the fabric of our universe.

The findings are also a doorway to understanding other merging black holes across the universe, a widespread population that is only now beginning to yield its secrets.

The California Institute of Technology in Pasadena led the Galaxy Evolution Explorer mission, which ended in 2013 after more than a decade of scanning the skies in ultraviolet light. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also in Pasadena, managed the mission and built the science instrument. JPL is managed by Caltech for NASA.

The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, Maryland, conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy in Washington.

Five out-of-place Artifacts that challenge mainstream history

There are perhaps a dozen of discoveries that have been made on Earth that challenge conventional and mainstream science in every single way. Most scholars have decided to simply ignore these findings since they are unable to place them in anywhere inside their ‘mainstream history.’ But just what are these discoveries? Are they just made-up, fabricated lies that have been put in place to create a buzz around the world? Or are these discoveries true and verifiable pointing towards a different past of the human race?

 

There are people who argue that we are being served “filtered information” and that many things regarding the distant past of mankind have been kept safe away from society. What if our History is all wrong? Numerous discoveries have been made in the last 50 years that suggest mankind has inhabited this planet much before mainstream science is telling us.

 

A 100 Million year old finger

 

The 100 million year old finger resembles a modern human finger

 

According to mainstream archaeology and anthropology, the oldest human fossil is around 2.8 million years old. But as I mentioned above, there have been many discoveries that challenge this conventional thinking segment. One of those incredible discoveries that breaks up all patterns formed by science is a fossilized human finger that is believed t be 100 million years old. This incredible discovery was made in the 1980’s at a quarry from a Cretaceous limestone formation in Texas.

 

The question that remains is, how is it possible that a 100 million year old fossilized finger exists? Did some sort of unknown human species live on Earth 100 million years ago?

 

The mysterious 270 million year old Hidden character stone

 

 

This incredible stone was discovered thanks to a crack that formed in a megalith 500 years ago revealing Chinese characters that read: The Chinese Communist Party Collapses (Zhong Guo Gong Chan Dang Wang). The problem is the age of the rock which according to researchers dates back 270 million years. It is an astonishing discovery of a stone that displays curious patterns on its surface, according to researchers these patterns have been identified as Simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese charters that read: Communist Party of China perish or The Chinese Communist Party Collapses ”

It is one of the main attractions in the Qiannan Pingtang National Geological park. The mystery is its age; dating back at least 270 millions of years to the Permian period. 

 

The stone was discovered in the cleaning process of the Duyun International Photography exposition, and the area has remained isolated and untouched by humans for an incredible period of time. The stone is found in a narrow gap between two cliffs.

 

300 Million Year Old Piece of aluminum machine found in Russia

 

 

There has been a lot of chatter regarding this discovery as national media have reported that a curious artifact has been discovered in Vladivostok, Russia. We are talking about a 300 million year old piece that could have belonged, in the distant past, to a complex aluminum machine. Experts who have had the opportunity to analyze the artifact have concluded that the piece resembles a gear and is not, in any case, the result of natural forces.

 

Where the 300 million year old gear gets interesting (If the age itself isn’t incredible) is in its chemical composition. According to tests, the object is composed of extremely pure aluminum ranging from 96 to 98 percent of aluminum and has an addition of 2% to 4% of magnesium. This composition is even more surprising according to scholars, as highly pure aluminum is something very hard to find, most alloys contain manganese, silicon, copper, titanium, or Zirconium Beryllium but in a percentage of about 10%. This actually means that the object we are discussing has a chemical composition that is not common in our time and even less in the past, and is something extremely hard to be found by itself in nature.

 

290 million year old human footprint

 

 

Ok, so it’s not an artifact but nevertheless it is a discoveries that has challenged, in every single way the views and opinions of mainstream scholars. The discovery of the 290 million year old footprint was made in New Mexico by paleontologist Jerry MacDonald in 1987. In the vicinity of this mysterious footprint there are fossilized impressions of birds and other animals. The discovery of the human impression has left MacDonald particularly puzzled and not he or anyone who has seen and studied the impression has not been able to explain how this modern footprint could have been located in the Permian strata, which according to scholars dates from 290 to 248 million years, a time period which occurred long before man or even birds and dinosaurs existed on this planet, of course, that is according to modern science and scientific thinking.

 

Should we change the way we think and look at things? Or should we accept modern-day scientific thinking which suggests, there is no way that is a human footprint dating back 290 millions of years. It seems to be an ongoing debate between people who firmly believe that history is wrong, and those who point out that all of these mysterious findings are actually a hoax and have nothing to do with reality.

 

The Dashka Stone: A 120 Million year old Map

 

 

The Dashka stone or also referred to as the Map of the Creator is a stone tablet of unknown origin that was discovered in the village of Chandra in Bashkortostan, Russian Federation. It is believed to be around 120 million years old.

 

According to studies, this one-ton-slab is made up of three levels. According to Professor Chuvyrov, this stone slab was made artificially and did not originate in nature alone. According to studies performed, the Dahska Stone or stone of the creator has the following characteristics:

 

The first layer of the Dashka stone consists of 18 centimeters of cement or ceramic based on dolomite.

The second layer is “made” of diopside glass; It is made approximately of one inch, enriched with silicon, according to researchers; to provide picture strength.

The third porcelain layer has several millimeters. According to scholars this might have been placed in order to create diffused light, to illuminate the stone slab, but also to protect the slab from external impact thanks to its calcium-porcelain composition.

Studie detecteerbaarheid met massa-veer gravimeter

                                                                              Jan De Ceuster

                                                                                 Bufon Werkgroep Technologie

            In een eerder verschenen tekst over Ufo- detectie ( o.a. op de website van UFO.be)

werd reeds een detectiemethode beschreven met een flux-gate magnetometer .

Deze methode is levensvatbaar gebleken door een gelijktijdige opname van een magnetische anomalie met een visuele Ufo waarneming in Sint Katelijne Waver op 10 October 2008 (zie hierover verslag op blog.seniorennet.be/peter2011).

            De opname vertoont een abnormaal hoge waarde voor het aardmagnetische veld ter plaatse gedurende het overvliegen van het UFO toestel.

            Een andere , geschikt voor amateur -Ufologen met fysische neigingen, mogelijke detectiemanier zou een massa-veer gravimeter opstelling kunnen zijn.

Deze detectiemogelijkheid wordt, in het volgende, verder onderzocht.

            Een kracht heeft een afstandswerking . De invloed ervan neemt af met het kwadraat van de afstand (Newton). Voor een UFO van gemiddeld 10 ton , dwz. 98100 Newton op een hoogte van 100m ,is de kracht op het aardoppervlak nog 9,81 Newton volgens deze kurve

                        Dit is een meetbare waarde voor een massa-veer opstelling

            De in gebruik zijnde massa –veer gravimeter bestaat uit een opstelling met een massa van 890 gram en een veer constante van 793 N/m  ( = dx= 11mm voor 890 gram).

De opstelling bezit geen extra demping en heeft een uittrilfrequentie van 4,7 Hz  ( f = 1:2pie.(k/m)^0,5 ).

            In evenwicht geldt dat voor het zweven van een massa van 890 gram een terugroepkracht moet worden uitgeoefend door de veer van k.dx = 793 N/M maal 0,011 m=8,72 Newton.

            We weten nu dat 11mm verplaatsing bekomen wordt met 8,72 N.

            De resterende kracht uitgeoefend door de UFO van 10 ton (98100 N) op 100 m hoogte is 9,81 N en werkt dus op de gravimeter massa van 890 gram in met als gevolg een extra verplaatsing van 9,81/8,72 . 0,011=  0,0125 m of 12,50mm.

Dit is ruim voldoende om te detecteren voor een UFO op 100m hoogte

Uit de literatuur is geweten dat een UFO op een 10 tal meter zwevend boven een normale personenauto ( 2 ton) in staat is deze van de grond op te heffen.

             Dit is NIET mogelijk als me ervan uitgaat dat dit louter zou gebeuren door toepassing van de wet van Newton over de aantrekkingskracht tussen twee lichamen met massa M1 en M2 op een afstand van 10m. Deze waarde is belachelijk klein 0,00001334 N of 13,34µN.

            De kracht die geproduceerd wordt is ook niet van het AEROdynamische type zoals bij een vliegtuig of een helikopter. Welk type dit is ,laten we hier in het midden. Ze gehoorzaamt wel aan ,de met de afstand kwadratisch afnemende waarde, aan de wet van Newton.

Bepaling van de gevoeligheidsgrenswaarde van de opstelling:

            Een afwijking van 0,1mm is nog detecteerbaar

 We weten dat een dx bekomen wordt van 12,3 mm bekomen wordt voor een hoogte van 100m en inwerkende kracht van 9,81 N . Vermits de uittrekking de veer lineair is wordt dit voor 1mm  9,81/ 12,3mm = 0,797N en dus voor 0,1mm 0,0797N

            Deze waarde wordt bekomen voor een hoogte van :

                        r^2 = 98100N/0,0797 = 1241770 m ^2     of r = 1114m

Hieruit kunnen we besluiten dat een UFO op globaal 1000m hoogte met het huidige in dienst staande massa-veer gravimeter opstelling  (m= 890 gram en k= 793N/m) wel degelijk detecteerbaar is.

THE FAMOUS UFO CASE OF BILLY MEIER WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE CONTACTS WITH ALIENS

Former Airman Abducted, Experimented On and Forced Into Life of Slavery on Secret Moon Base

A former U.S. Air Force radar tracking operator recalls her traumatic experience of being abducted multiple times, experimented on, and forced into slave labor on a secret moon base.

In 1980, an unexpected event changed Niara Terela Isley’s life forever. While traveling with some of her colleagues on a mission at the Tonopah Test Range, their aircraft encountered a glowing UFO that maintained course alongside them. Ground control instructed them to get a radar lock and intercept the flying saucer.

Upon landing, Isley and her colleagues were quickly taken into custody by one of the Air Force’s covert branches.

In a book she wrote, the former airman describes her ordeal. Over the course of several months, Isley was abducted about 8 to 10 times and taken to a secret moon base on the dark side of the Moon. The base was under the control of reptilian beings but operated by human personnel. Isley claims that like her, most of them were held there against their will.

• I was very poorly fed and worked hard during the day cycle, operating some kind of electronic equipment for excavation at times, and doing physical manual labor at others, such as lifting and stacking boxes.
• Worst of all, I was used for sex during what passed for night there, from man to man,” she wrote.

The pinnacle of this inhumane treatment was a long string of experiments designed to mentally wear her down and remove her free will. The medical procedures were performed by Gray extraterrestrials, which means that the conspiracy runs deep.

And so it went on and on for months until she was finally released. But Isley is convinced she wasn’t set free without first being subjected to a memory wipe.

In fact, she says that an acute absence of memories from that period tipped her off she might have been the victim of an abduction. For a period of three months in 1980, Isley had no memories although at the time she was working for the U.S. Air Force.

Unnerved by her missing time, she underwent hypnosis and recovered her suppressed memories. It seems like the memory wipe was unsuccessful.

Niara Terela Isley and many other abductees are convinced that most—if not all—abductions are actually performed or supported by military forces worldwide. A popular conspiracy theory calls these operations MILABs (Military Abductions) and hypothesizes they are way more common than you would think. Isley and her peers recommend hypnosis therapy to anyone who’s experienced long periods of missing time.

While Isley brings little evidence in support of her testimony (besides her testimony), she does bring up several interesting points.

The presence of a joint Reptilian-Gray-human secret base on our satellite is worrisome and the abduction phenomenon is alarming, to say the least. But the perspective of unwillingly carrying memories of being forced into slavery and routinely experimented on is something else—the seed of paranoia.

If Isley is true, we’re all living a lie.

Nato Maneuvers And Alien Craft Contact

(Before It's News)

Germans believe in aliens

It's not just sci-fi nerds: According to a representative survey, a lot of Germans can put their skepticism aside when it comes to creatures from outer space. Even scientists believe there could be extraterrestrial life.

Are we alone in the universe? More than half of the Germans polled in a recent survey don't think so. Market research institute YouGov asked 1,171 people whether they believed in extraterrestrials and 56 percent said yes.

More than 1,000 people asked is considered a representative number for Germany. YouGov researchers conducted the survey via an online questionnaire between September 18 and 22. Anna Schneider, senior consultant with the institute, said she was not surprised by the high number of believers.

"The reason for believing is a mix of hope and fear," Schneider told DW. "It's hard for humans to imagine that we are this special and singular in a universe whose end we don't even know, but it's also not easy to picture sharing the special status of intelligent life. So I expected an outcome of around fifty-fifty."

Life finds a way

Klaus Jäger says it's only "plausible" that we're not alone

The idea that aliens or extraterrestrials could exist is not just purported by a layman's majority; it's also subject to serious scientific research.

"The formation of life in the entire cosmos, in every niche it can find, is probably a completely natural process," Klaus Jäger, astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy , told DW. He pointed to the fact that simple forms of life survive even in the most barren conditions, like at the bottom of the deep sea. Why not on far-away planets?

Discoveries made by space missions support the idea that somewhere, extraterrestrials exist, according to Jäger.

"Scientific facts are pretty clearly pointing toward the existence of life outside of Earth," the astronomer and spokesman of theGerman Astronomical Society said. "Even in interstellar gas that floats around and among the stars in our milky way we've found organic material, which is the preliminary stage to life."

Aliens among us?

Jäger does not believe, however, that aliens are already among us, saying that finding another life-form is a possible scenario of the future.

Martin Schädler, webmaster of the German website and online community www.alien.de disagrees. He became interested in extraterrestrials roughly 20 years ago when he read a book about alien abductions and does not only believe that aliens exist, but that they have been to Earth, too.

"The universe is gigantic and it has existed for such a long time - why should we be the only living things in it?" Schädler asked. "And how likely is it really that aliens are not here on Earth, too? I believe that the universe is so big and so old that it's brimming with extraterrestrial life, that it's full of it. That no one would have made their way to us so far is very unlikely to me."

There's a great fascination with aliens, like at this science fiction exhibition in Leipzig, Germany

The tech-expert, who works on email encryption as a day job, told DW he thought that the high number of people who believe in aliens was partially due to the presence of astronomy in daily life. With media reporting on space-related discoveries and astronomy documentaries airing on TV, people become more aware of the sheer size of our universe, Schädler says.

From there, he believes, it's only a small step to wondering why we should be alone in it.

How Hollywood believers could be disappointed

Women seem to be doing more wondering - and doubting - than men. According to the YouGov survey, 61 percent of men, but only 51 percent of women believe in the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.

"Maybe the underlying reason is a difference in love of adventure - or the cinematic education," Anna Schneider from YouGov said. "I think Hollywood is partly responsible for this outcome."

If aliens ever do come to Earth, their spaceships hopefully won't wreak havoc like this one in "Independence Day"

Movies like "Alien" and "Star Wars" have an audience that is more male than female, so men could be more likely to believe in extraterrestrials, according to Schneider's theory. But astronomer Klaus Jäger emphasizes that life in space may not look like what film fans imagine it to be.

Instead of man-sized creatures arriving in impressive space ships, aliens could also be smaller - much smaller, the astronomer says. Perhaps single-cell organisms will be the first extraterrestrial life-forms to be discovered.

That would be much less exciting than meeting a friendly, talking alien like ET, but also more comfortable than discovering that we're sharing the universe with a highly intelligent hostile species à la "Independence Day," the Hollywood blockbuster in which vicious creatures from outer space try to eradicate humanity.

VIDEO: “Stonehenge ontdekt op Mars”

Op Mars is een mysterieuze steencirkel ontdekt, die de naam Marshenge heeft gekregen. Volgens alienjagers doet de cirkel sterk denken aan Stonehenge in het Engelse Wiltshire.

De vreemde verzameling stenen is volgens sommigen achtergelaten door een oude Marsbeschaving. Experts hebben in het verleden gezegd dat dergelijke steencirkels kunnen ontstaan door natuurlijke processen die zich ook hier op aarde voordoen. Zo schrijft Jeffrey Kargel van de Universiteit van Arizona dat steencirkels zich op Mars kunnen vormen als gevolg van geologische activiteit.

Op de Facebookpagina van Journey to the Surface of the Mars, waar geregeld ongewone vondsten voorbij komen, werd aandacht besteed aan de steencirkel. Op het YouTube-kanaal Mister Enigma is een filmpje verschenen waarin het object wordt vergeleken met Stonehenge.

Piramides

“Hebben de bouwers van Stonehenge mogelijk een bezoek gebracht aan Mars en hebben ze daar hetzelfde bouwwerk neergezet, of hebben we bezoek gehad van wezens die ons hebben geleerd om deze dingen te bouwen,” zei hij. “Of is het slechts een illusie?”

Schrijver Nigel Watson zei: “Er zijn al vaker piramideachtige structuren gespot op Mars, die vervolgens zijn gelinkt aan de oude piramides op aarde. Marshenge wordt nu gelinkt aan onze eigen prehistorische culturen.”

Aardbeving

“Ondanks alle sceptici zijn dergelijke theorieën niet minder populair geworden,” ging hij verder. “Door de ontdekking van Marshenge lijkt het er sterk op dat astronauten in het verleden ons zonnestelsel hebben bezocht en een blijvende invloed hebben gehad op de geschiedenis van de mens.”

“Het is nogal wat om Marshenge te vergelijken met Stonehenge,” zei Watson. “Je weet bijvoorbeeld niet hoe groot deze objecten zijn of hoe ze er van dichtbij uitzien. Het kan gewoon een verzameling stenen zijn die in een ver verleden door aardbevingen aan het oppervlak zijn gekomen.”

De steencirkel op Mars is gevonden op foto’s die zijn gemaakt door de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Hieronder het filmpje van Mister Enigma:

No nearby asteroids approaching says JPL/NASA data, Sept 25, 2015, UFO Sighting News

JPL Source: http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/

I've been hearing a lot of talk about an asteroid that is suppose to hit Earth between Sept 23 and 28th, but could find nothing to support it. If there is one, then NASA is hiding all the data from it. There is however two semi-close asteroids that are about the same distance from Earth as the moon is. The first of the two will come near us on Sept 25, but it will be 2.3 times the moons distance from us. Then on Sept 30 there is another that will be 1.3 the distance to the moon. That means its slighter further away than our moon. Thats still far off, so no worries.

Dark UFO Over Martian Surface Observes Rover, Sept 2015, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: September 2015
Location of discovery: Mars
NASA photo: http://mars.nasa.gov/mer/gallery/all/1/n/2915/1N386964719EFFBR51P1670L0M1.JPG


I have never seen this kind of object on Mars before. The UFO is dark, more so than the surface of the hill, which means its not part of it. It has a pole line above and below that seems perfectly balanced. It could be that the small alien people we have been finding are still alive and this could be one of their craft observing the rover. It has a good vantage point from the hill.

This is a photo from Opportunity Rover on Mars. I am posting the Link below. Opportunity is still LIVE and updates pictures almost daily. There are just too many anomalies being found by myself and other Ufologists to dismiss them as nothing. One day we will be proved right. When you have seen these things right above you and I have, it changes your perception of all you have been taught. People don't believe you, so I'll keep posting what I find.

UFO Over Henderson Watching Over City At Night, Nevada On Sept 23, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 23, 2015

Location of sighting: Henderson, Nevada

 

This UFO looks like its scanning the city at night, or even watching over it. The UFO is bright red and accelerates fast. The UFO just disappears when its lights turn off, so we cannot determine what direction it leaves in the end. Overall, its an awesome video by Steve Barone of Youtube.

Eyewitness states: 

This video was captured in the foothills near Henderson, Nevada which borders Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of September 23, 2015. This is such a reliable spot to capture UFOs. I get the feeling that these UFOs have been there doing what they do for a very long time. One of these days I hope to understand what their purpose is and what it is they are doing. I could see at least a couple UFOs in this video but at times there can be six or more of them back there.

Amazing UFO sighting filmed over Iqaluit, Canada 21-Sep-2015

Here’s one really fascinating footage of a fast objects maneuvering in the sky above Iqaluit, the largest city and territorial capital of the Canadian territory of Nunavut. This was taken on 21st September 2015.

Witness report: i was home, my camera caught two shots of an object that appears and disappears in frame. 
I shot the time-lapse at 3 seconds apart. It appears in one shot but doesn’t appear in previous or after shots. Shot#1985-nothing, #1986-has object and #1987 has no object showing. Same with object in shot #2021, which has moved a little to the left. 
I only saw them when I put the movie together. 
I first thought it was glare, but after fiddling with the light balance, it really looked like a solid object. 
It just moved a little in between 1986-2021 photos. 
Feelings? Curious, very curious.

Snowden Explains the Reason Behind Alien Silence

Encryption isn’t a new thing as people have been using it to protect their online privacy. However, American whistleblower Edward Snowden has offered a new idea about encryption. He said the detection of signals sent from aliens could be difficult because of the security measure.

Snowden thoughts about the encryption and foreign signals were made during an interview with science communicator and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on the StarTalk podcast.

Snowden was communicating from Moscow through a beam remote presence system, which is a robot video link. The whistleblower managed to control the robot from Russia. He rolled straight into the office of Tyson at the Hayden Planetarium in New York.

Tyson asked Snowden on the possibility of alien civilizations communicating with encrypted messages. Snowden answered that most advanced societies may have been encrypting their communications, and it may be the reason humanity never heard from other civilizations. Snowden went on to say that there’s no real method to determine encrypted messages in a properly encrypted communication.

Snowden became famous after leaking classified U.S. documents involving secret mass surveillance program. Washington charged him with espionage and theft, and Russia granted him asylum.

Amerikaanse generaal-majoor onthult wat er werkelijk op Mars is aangetroffen

“De tijd is nu écht aangebroken dat de regering, wetenschappers en luchtvaartexperts samenwerken om de vragen over UFO’s te ontrafelen,” zei John Podesta, oud-topadviseur van president Obama, manager van Hillary Clintons presidentscampagne en de voormalige stafchef van president Bill Clinton.

Mede door de uitspraken van deze hooggeplaatste overheidsfunctionaris, spreken steeds meer mensen zich openlijk uit over dit fenomeen. Generaal-majoor Albert Stubblebine is één van hen. Hij werkte in totaal 32 jaar in het leger en stond tussen 1981 en 1984 aan het hoofd van INSCOM (Intelligence and Security Command). Hij had de leiding over 16.000 troepen.

Stubblebine speelde een belangrijk rol in het Stargate Project, een programma dat was gericht op remote viewing of verzien. Deze vorm van buitenzintuiglijke waarneming stelt een persoon in staat om een locatie tot op vele honderdduizenden kilometers afstand te beschrijven met het geestesoog.

Albert Stubblebine

De uitkomsten van dit project zijn gepubliceerd in het Journal of Scientific Exploration. Individuen wisten tijdens het project fysieke objecten te beschrijven die zich ver van hen vandaan bevonden.

Het Stargate Project vormde onder meer de inspiratie voor de film The Men Who Stare at Goats, die gaat over een man die beweert een voormalig paranormaal soldaat te zijn. Hij vertelt over een speciale afdeling van het Amerikaanse leger die zich bezighoudt met het ontwikkelen van paranormale strijdkrachten.

Generaal Stubblebine had over Mars het volgende te zeggen:

• Er zijn structuren op het oppervlak van Mars. Daarnaast zijn er structuren onder het oppervlak van Mars die niet konden worden gezien door de camera’s van de Voyager, die in 1976 langs de planeet vloog. Er zijn ook machines op en onder het oppervlak van Mars, die je tot in detail kunt bekijken.

La machine d'Anticythère est encore plus ancienne qu'on ne le croyait

Une nouvelle étude suggère que le stupéfiant mécanisme d'Anticythère serait plus vieux qu'on ne le pensait; au lieu d'avoir 1500 ans d'avance sur son époque, ce pourrait être 1800...

Le mécanisme avait été découvert en 1904 dans l'épave d'un bateau qui avait coulé dans la mer Egée aux alentours de 60 avant JC. Bien que son origine soit inconnue, il devait servir à calculer les mouvements astronomiques, ce qui en fait en quelque sorte un précurseur des ordinateurs.

Le degré avancé de sophistication de l'appareil le rend mystérieux, étant bien plus avancé que tout instrument connu de son époque, ou même des siècles qui ont suivi...

Même si des parties sont manquantes, après avoir passé autant de temps dans l'eau salée profonde, il avait eu, d'après une étude, au moins 30 engrenages. C'est peut-être pourquoi pour nombre de personnes, il représente le summum de la technologie de l'ancien monde et qu'il fut perdu pendant les siècles obscurs.

Si des dispositifs comme celui-ci avaient survécu, Kepler pourraient avoir trouvé la tâche visant à expliquer les orbites des planètes beaucoup plus facile à réaliser.

Bien que les constructeurs ne devaient probablement pas comprendre pourquoi la lune accélérait et ralentissait sur son orbite, ils étaient suffisamment conscient du phénomène. En fait, la machine le simule à la perfection.


L'une des fonctions du mécanisme était de prédire les éclipses, et une étude de ces cadrans montrent qu'ils opéraient sur un calendrier commençant en 205 avant JC. Les estimations de l'âge de la construction de la machine ont été progressivement repoussées, après avoir commencées avec l'année où il coula avec le navire.

L'appareil était abrité dans une boite, qui portait des gravures allant de 80 à 90 avant JC, mais les caractères correspondaient à une époque remontant entre 100 et 150 avant JC.
Cependant, dans The Archive of History of Exact Sciences, le Dr Christian Carman de l'Université Nationale de Quilmes en Argentine, et le Dr James Evans de l'Université Puget Sound, pensent avoir identifié l'éclipse solaire qui eut lieu au treizième mois sur le calendrier de la machine. Si c'est le cas, cela entrainerait sa date de départ, lorsque les cadrans sont à 0, à Mai 205 avant JC.

Carman et Evans ajoutent, "Nous avons aussi examiné des possibilités pour la théorie qui soutient la thèse des périodes des éclipses sur le cadran du Saros et qui a trouvé que le schéma arithmétique, de style babylonien, utilise une équation du centre et des vitesses journalières qui correspondrait bien avec les périodes journalières inscrites. De plus, un schéma arithmétique pour les périodes écliptiques apporte la preuve de quelque chose de mieux que ce que pourrait apporter un modèle trigonométrique."

Alors que le dispositif pourrait théoriquement avoir été construit avec une date de départ fixée de nombreuses années avant sa construction, cela aurait réduit son utilité. Aussi précis que soit le mécanisme, les erreurs s'accumulent naturellement, réduisant son exactitude; aussi, les constructeurs n'ont pas dû commencer trop loin dans le passé. 

Les spéculations sur les origines du mécanisme se sont souvent concentrées sur 

Archimède, si ce n'est comme inventeur, au moins comme inspirateur. Cependant, l'influence babylonienne rend cela improbable, bien que la date de commencement se situe à peine 7 ans après son meurtre.

Voici une vidéo d'une recréation du mécanisme en Lego pour avoir une idée de sa complexité:

Un ancien ingénieur RAF déclare : « Le MI5 a payé des gens pour réaliser de faux crop circles pour discréditer la recherche ufologique. »

David Clayton, ancien ingénieur de la Royal Air Force, explique que MI5 payait des farceurs pour créer de faux crop circles afin de discréditer les observations authentiques d’ovnis et de Men in Black.

David Clayton est à présent un spécialiste des crop circles et mutilations de bétails.

M. Clayton met en évidence le fait que les crop circles, réalisés dans les années 1980, pourraient potentiellement être l’œuvre des « Aliens »étant donné que les plantes situées à l’intérieur du cercle n’étaient pas été écrasé par la force physique, mais plutôt par la chaleur.

M. Clayton admet que la plupart des crop circles, mis en évidence depuis les années 1990, sont des faux, mais que des vrais avaient été découverts et avérés.

Il affirme que les agences de renseignement britanniques ont été derrière la majeure partie des crop circles.

Il déclare : « Le MI5 payait les gens pour brouiller les pistes. »

crédit: the-x-files.fr/

Gary Hestletine, ufologue, ayant organisé l’événement à Holmfirth dans le West Yorkshire, pense qu’il existe une « politique délibérée » menée par les autorités dans le but minimiser ou discréditer toute activité inexplicable.

Il a également critiqué les médias traditionnels de ne pas vouloir regarder la vérité en face.

Il déclare : « La presse doit enlever ses œillères et sélectionner les meilleurs témoignages… »

Le média Express.co.uk   a contacté le MI5 pour les interroger au sujet des accusations de Clayton.

GreenBiz tech talk explores future of sustainable space travel

To Mars And Back On One Fuel Tank: University Student Beats NASA Fuel-Efficiency Record

Traveling to the Red Planet presents several obstacles, but a university student may have just addressed one by developing an ion space drive more fuel-efficient than NASA’s.
(Photo : Kevin Dooley | Flickr

A Physics doctoral candidate at the University of Sydney has developed a new kind of ion space drive that has left NASA's own in the dust in terms of fuel efficiency.

The agency has been developing ion space drives for years and its HiPEP system currently has capacity for 9,600 (+/- 200) seconds of specific impulse. Patrick Neumann's work, however, the Neumann Drive, is capable of up to 14, 690 (+/- 2,000) seconds. Given this figure, even conservative results on the Neumann Drive would result in a performance well above NASA's record, meaning that it is using up fuel more efficiently, which will allow for longer use. Additionally, Neumann's ion space drive can run on different kinds of metals, unlike the HiPEP that can only utilize xenon gas. The Neumann Drive was running on magnesium when it beat NASA's fuel-efficiency record.

To function, the ion space drive developed by Neumann relies on a reaction produced by metal and electricity, where electric arcs hit the fuel source (magnesium, in this case), leading ions to spray. The resulting spray is then gathered by a magnetic thrust, producing thrust in short and light bursts. Current propulsion devices running on chemicals typically operate by producing short, high-powered bursts they can coast on. Because the Neumann Drive uses more sustained bursts, it preserves the fuel source better, making it ideal for long-term missions.

The Neumann Drive has the potential to be packhorse for space travel, transporting cargo over long distances, but it also offers the added benefit of cleaning up space debris by recycling old satellites as fresh fuel. This ion space drive runs on metals, remember? And there are a lot of metal pieces floating around in space. If Neumann's drive can utilize scrap metal in space, it could not just dramatically reduce the price of space transport but enable safer travels in space as it will be reducing debris floating around.

If a satellite uses the Neumann Drive, it will also stay in orbit longer, allowing more data to be gathered and letting its owner make the most out of investing in the facility.

Neumann was assisted by Marcela Bilek and David McKenzie. He has submitted a patent for the Neumann Drive under Neumann Space, his new company, and is in the process of acquiring funding for his research's next stage. His work will be presented at the 15th Australian Space Research Conference.

‘Ion space drive’ designed by Australian student smashes NASA’s fuel efficiency record

Australian student smashes NASA’s fuel efficiency record with ‘Ion Space Drive’

With some improvements the innovative Ion space drive would be able to power a spacecraft so that it can travel till “Mars and return with just one tank of fuel”.

Paddy Neumann, a PhD student from the University of Sydney, has designed a new kind of “Ion space drive” which has smashed the current fuel efficiency record set by NASA.

Ion space drive: 

The new space drive designed by an Australian student works on the principle of Ion propulsion technology.

Under normal conditions, a spacecraft is propelled by using standard chemicals as fuel; however in this technology the gas is ionized or charged electrically to propel the spacecraft.

Currently NASA’s record holder for fuel efficiency is its High Power Electric Propulsion or HiPEP system and it allows 9,600 (+/- 200) seconds of specific impulse.

However, as per the student newspaper Honi Soit, the new Ion space drive developed by Neumann was able to achieve up to  14,690 (+/- 2,000), which is pretty impressive.

Interestingly, the new Ion space drive or the Neumann’s Ion drive uses an entirely new type of fuel. NASA’s HiPEP system runs on Xenon gas, however the Neumann’s Ion drive utilizes a range of metals as fuel and so far the best results have been achieved by using metal magnesium.

Working of the Ion space drive:

In this case electricity is used to ionize the metal. Electric arcs strike magnesium, which is being used as fuel, and it results in the formation of ion spray that is then directed by a magnetic nozzle to produce the required thrust.

The standard chemical propulsion devices that are currently used in the industry works by short, high powered bursts of thrusts followed by coasting.

On the other hand, Neumann’s drive can run on a combination of short and light bursts thus conserving the fuel source.

Neumann’s Ion drive smashes the current fuel efficiency record set by NASA; however it could not beat NASA’s acceleration. In other words the new Ion space drive is not an ideal option to power a spacecraft off a planet. However, Neumann says that with some improvements, such as pairing with other propulsion systems, the Ion space drive would be in a better position to power a spacecraft so that it can travel longer distances without having to stop and refuel.

Neumann says there is also a possibility that in future his Ion space drive might actually power a spacecraft so that it can travel to  “Mars and back on one tank of fuel”.

Neumann believes that his Ion space drive would definitely reduce the cost of space transportation and at the same time help the satellites to remain in orbit for much longer time as well as it might also power the spacecraft to travel much longer distances.

Another plus point of Neumann’s Ion drive is that it runs on those metals which are commonly found in space junk indicating that the exhausted satellites could possibly be utilized as fuel for this new drive thus making provision for recycling of the old satellites. Well, this also means that the new Ion space drive would be much more cheaper and it might probably even help the space companies to save on the exorbitant cost of carting fuel into space.

The results of Neumann’s innovative Ion space drive is currently awaiting a peer review; however Neumann has already lodged a patent for the new device under the purview of a new start up namedNeumann Space, because for some unknown reason the University of Sydney decided not to commercialize the invention and just passed back the research completely to Neumann and other two researchers who were part of the project.

He plans to present the details of his innovative device on 30th September at the 15th Australian Space Research Conference, where he might provide some more concrete details of his device.

For now, Neumann and his team are busy securing funds for further research and development of the new propulsion system-Neumann’s Ion drive.

New York Times writer begs us not to colonize Mars

Play

The push back against settling space, taken up by Jess Zimmerman in the UK Guardian, has continued in the pages of the New York Times. In a Monday Oped, a writer named Ed Regis begs,“Let’s Not Move to Mars.” The article is both a projection of the author’s personal distaste for what he thinks are the difficulties of traveling to and setting on Mars and a straw man that he leaves for the very end.

Most of the article is a recitation of the hazards of interplanetary travel and of trying to survive on Mars. The litany of horribles is a familiar one to those who have studied the subject. Weightlessness, radiation, close quarters, and a myriad of other conditions would make the trip to Mars a “nightmare.” As for Mars, he states, “it would be accurate to call Mars a veritable hell for living things.”

The first hint that the author is offering a straw man comes with the qualifier he uses, “Using current technology and conventional chemical rockets.” Of course, a serious Mars effort would involve developing new technology and advanced propulsion systems, nuclear powered rockets for example. In any event, people with the courage and fortitude to survive and overcome the hazards of settling Mars almost certainly exist today.

The straw man is trotted out in the final paragraph.

“These are only a few of the many serious challenges that must be overcome before anyone can put human beings on Mars and expect them to live for more than five minutes. The notion that we can start colonizing Mars within the next 10 years or so is an overoptimistic, delusory idea that falls just short of being a joke.”

The problem is that the only group that thinks we are going to start colonizing Mars within the next ten years is the Dutch-based Mars One. The Mars One plan, such as it is, has been thoroughly debunked by experts from MIT. SpaceX’s Elon Musk may or may not believe we can be on Mars by 2025, but he is keeping his plans closely guarded.

In any case, human ingenuity would likely mitigate a lot of the hazards of traveling to Mars. The same quality would change Mars from a “living hell” into a new Earth by a process called terraforming. The humans who will accomplish this task will be bolder and more resilient than the author who trashes the idea in the New York Times.
