Science fiction literature is full of stories in which tunnels in space-time — known as wormholes — are used for time travel. How much fact lies within the fiction? The answer is, more than you might think. Scientists are looking at ways to use traversable wormholes (if they exist) to travel faster than the speed of light — and even to travel through time itself.

"A traversable wormhole is a hyperspace tunnel, also called a throat, that connects together two remotely distant regions within our universe, or two different universes — if other universes exist — or two different periods in time, as in time travel, or different dimensions of space," physicist Eric Davis told Space.com by email.

Davis specializes in the field of space-time as a member of the Tau Zero Foundation, where he uses equations from Einstein's general theory of relativity to think about possible (or impossible) designs for traversable wormholes, warp drives and time machines.

Building a wormhole

Wormholes were first proposed in 1916 by mathematician Ludwig Flamm, who was toying around with equations from Einstein's theory of general relativity that describe how gravity can curve space-time, which refers to the fabric of physical reality. While these tunnels through space-time are a fascinating theoretical possibility, according to physicist Kip Thorne, a professor emeritus at the California Institute of Technology, scientists have not yet come up with an agreed-upon way that wormholes could form in nature, and no wormholes have ever been detected.

Thorne and some of his colleagues also showed that even if a wormhole appeared, it would likely collapse before an object (or person) could pass through it. To keep the wormhole open long enough to traverse it would require some kind of scaffolding, but normal matter wouldn't stand up to the job — it would require an "exotic material."

"Dark energy is one form of naturally occurring exotic matter whose negative pressure produces the gravitationally repulsive force that pushes the space inside our universe outward, thus producing the inflationary expansion of the universe," Davis said.

Along with dark energy, scientists also know of an exotic material called dark matter, which is five times more prevalent in the universe than regular matter. To date, scientists have been unable to directly detect either dark matter or dark energy, so much about them is still unknown. Scientists can learn about these materials, though, by examining the effect they have on the space around them.

According to Ali Övgün of Eastern Mediterranean University in Cyprus, it's possible that wormholes could form where dark matter is present, and thus that they could exist in the outer regions of the Milky Way, where dark matter lies, as well as within other galaxies. Övgün is working to prove that wormholes could exist in regions dense with dark matter. He and his colleagues have run simulations that show that wormholes in dense regions of dark matter found in galactic halos would satisfy the physical requirements scientists think the tunnels require.

"But it is only mathematical proof," Övgün said. "I hope one day it will be possible to also find direct experimental evidence."

So, what happens to a person or instrument traveling through a wormhole?

"Nothing! The space-time geometry of traversable wormholes requires that there be no nasty, intolerable gravitational tidal forces acting upon the spacecraft or its passengers while they move through the wormhole tunnel," Davis said. "They go into the throat at their departure location near Earth and get shunted through the tunnel to emerge out the other side near the destination star."

Because these theoretical tunnels cut through space-time, they would allow travelers to achieve speeds that appear to an outside observer to be faster than light (FTL). However, from the travelers' points of view, they would never actually outpace the speed of light — it would just seem that way to outside observers because the travelers would be taking a route that's shorter than they would have taken through ordinary space.

Before scientists could use wormholes, they would first have to find them. To date, wormholes have not been discovered. However, if they exist, locating a tunnel through space-time may not be as difficult as it sounds.

"As it is visualized in the movie 'Interstellar,' in the future, there will be some experiments to observe [wormholes] indirectly," Övgün said.

Based on certain wormhole theories, he compared peering through a wormhole to Alice's glimpse through the looking glass, in Lewis Carroll's novel of the same name. The region of space at the far end of the tunnel should stand out from the area around the entrance thanks to distortions that would be similar to the reflection in curved mirrors. Another indication may be the way light is concentrated as it moves through the wormhole tunnel, much as the wind blows through a physical tunnel.

Davis refers to what is seen at the near end of a wormhole as a "rainbow caustic effect." Such effects could be seen from a distance.

"Astronomers were planning to use telescopes to hunt for these rainbow caustics as a sign of a naturally occurring, or even an alien-made, traversable wormhole," Davis said. "I never heard if that project got off the ground."

Traveling through time

As part of his study of wormholes, Thorne also proposed a thought experiment in which a wormhole could be used as a time machine. Thought experiments about time travel often run into paradoxes. Perhaps the most famous of these is the grandfather paradox: If an explorer went back in time and killed his or her grandfather, that person could not be born, and would never have gone back in time in the first place. This seems to suggest that backward time travel is impossible, but according to Davis, Thorne's work opened up a new avenue for scientists to explore.

"An entire cottage industry of theoretical physics was born after that, which led to the development of other space-time techniques that can produce causal, nonparadox time machines," Davis said.

But although using wormholes for time travel may appeal to fans of fiction (and those who'd like to change their past), Davis said current theories show that to make a wormhole time machine, one or both ends of the tunnel would need to be accelerated to velocities approaching the speed of light.

"It would be extremely difficult to construct a wormhole time machine," Davis said. "It's relatively much simpler to use wormholes for FTL interstellar travel between the stars."

Other physicists have suggested that using a wormhole to travel through time would cause a massive buildup of energy that would destroy the tunnel just before it could be utilized as a time machine — a process known as quantum back reaction. Nonetheless, it is still fun to dream about the potential.

"Think of all the possibilities of what people could do and the discoveries they could make if they could travel through time," Davis said. "Their adventures would be very interesting, to say the least."

Have We Really Discovered A Megastructure Around A Star Build By An Alien Civilization?

Last week, the internet was abuzz with the news of a mysterious object orbiting a distant star 1,500 light-years away that was blocking a huge amount of its light. With no obvious candidate for what the object could be, one scientist suggested the very faint possibility that it could be artificial in nature – yes, made by aliens.

“Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build,” Jason Wright, an astrophysicist from Pennsylvania State University, told The Atlantic. Wright wasn't directly involved in the study, which has been published in Arxiv, but made his comments after discussing the findings with lead author Tabetha Boyajian. Is he right, and if so, what could it be?

Wright has since clarified his comments and said that such a theory is extremely (emphasis on “extremely”) unlikely. But it’s intriguing, nonetheless – if not least to spark discussion as what might be out there. After all, there are hundreds of billions of planets in our galaxy, itself one of hundreds of millions of galaxies in the known universe. It seems doubtful that we are the only planet with life on it, although why we have not found other intelligent life yet is a mystery, known as the Fermi Paradox.

The star in question is KIC 8462852, an old star about 1.5 times larger than the Sun. Using the Kepler space telescope, a team of astronomers found that its light dipped by up to 20% on several occasions due to the orbit of a vast object that would have to be almost half the star’s size. What’s more, these huge dips occurred at random across the 1,600 days the star was observed.

Owing to the age of the star, the object must be relatively new, or it would have been consumed by the star’s gravity. The other object cannot be a star, as it is not emitting light nor is it circular. It is also unlikely to be a planet, owing to its irregular orbit. So, what is it?

In the paper, the leading suggestion is that it is debris left from comets breaking up around the star. This would be expected to produce large amounts of infra-red radiation, though, owing to the scattering of dust around the star, something that was not observed. This led Wright to suggest the other, more outlandish theory – that an alien civilization could be the cause, or more specifically, a Dyson sphere.

A Dyson sphere is a structure that harnesses a star’s energy for use by a civilization, sort of like solar power but on a massive scale. It would be composed of hundreds or thousands of spacecraft, often referred to as a Dyson swarm, that would theoretically be large enough to block out a significant portion of a star's light.

A Dyson Sphere, illustrated, is one vageuly possible explanation. Vedexent.

It’s estimated that as a civilization gets more and more advanced, it will require more and more energy to thrive. Some consider a Dyson sphere the best way to gather this energy, labeling the civilization a type 1 on the Kardashev Scale (for reference, we are at 0.73). However, a recent separate study to find such structures around stars proved fruitless.

Indeed, if this were a Dyson sphere, it would be producing large amounts of infrared radiation, something not apparent at the moment. The researchers are planning to use telescopes to observe the star in greater detail and see if it is producing any unusual signals, but for now there doesn’t seem to be anything untoward. One possibility is that the Dyson sphere is a remnant of an ancient civilization that is now extinct, or elsewhere, and the machines are defunct, simply left to orbit the star and block its light.

Perhaps it could also be some other type of alien structure. The possibility has tantalised the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute in California enough to take a closer look at the star with the Allen Telescope Array as of today. We’ll have to wait and see if they find anything.

But this is all very unlikely. We’re definitely not suggesting for certain this is some kind of alien technology. Indeed, similar speculation occurred in the past when pulsars – rapidly rotating neutron stars – were discovered and mistaken for possible signs of artificial intelligence. Their existence had not previously been theorized; perhaps this latest discovery is, too, a new natural phenomenon. Even if this turns out to be nothing more than a swarm of dead comets, or something else, that would still be of huge interest. But, here or elsewhere, we’re surely going to find some sign of another intelligent race eventually. If not, as the Fermi paradox famously states, then where is everyone ( via iflscience.com )?

Dogs 'mysteriously fall ill after being walked in notorious UFO hotspot dubbed UK Roswell'

ALIEN visitors have been held up as one possible causes of sickness in dogs being walked at a notorious UFO hotspot that has been dubbed 'UK's Roswell'.
By Jon Austin

Dogs have fallen ill and even gone missing or died after Rendlesham walks

Dog walkers have reported their beloved pets becoming ill after being walked in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, the scene of a mysterious mass UFO hotspot in 1980 where flying saucers are still reportedly seen.

US military personal based at RAF Woodbridge, next to the forest, reported a series of unexplained lights and even a UFO landing in the forest over the Christmas period.

Bizarre UFOs were also seen by residents of the village and the unexplained case remains one of the UK's most perplexing with the forest regularly visited by alien hunters.

It is not the first time the UFO mystery at Rendlesham has been linked to unexplained sickness.

The servicemen who "saw the craft land" have since received a payout after being "affected by radiation".

Now there have reportedly been numerous cases of dogs getting sick after being walked along what is now known as the UFO trail.

Do aliens really visit Rendlesham?

Caroline Peters from Felsted in Essex, is the latest to report her two dogs becoming ill after a visit.

She says they got so sick they almost died.

She said: “We were there for about an hour-and-a-half.

“Ruby was off the lead but Sparkie was on the lead.

"We saw toadstools but they have been ruled out –there was nothing in their tests to suggest there had been any form of poisoning.”

Both dogs stayed in the vet's overnight in intensive care, but are now recovering.

Dog walking is nearly as popular as skywatching in the forest

Health problems and lots of other weird incidents have certainly been associated with Rendlesham.

UFO author Nigel Watson

She has been told it was probably Seasonal Canine Illness - itself a mystery sickness which affects dogs from August to November.

Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, thinks there may be more to it.

He said: “Even today ufologists squabble over what really happened at Rendlesham Forest in late December 1980.

"Did an alien spaceship land here? Were the US airmen who saw the UFO fooled by the light from a nearby lighthouse?

"Was it a smokescreen to hide a nuclear incident or some other type of covert operation? Or was it a hoax?

“Health problems and lots of other weird incidents have certainly been associated with Rendlesham.

People claim aliens have visited the isolated woods since the 1980 sightings

"US airman John Burroughs, who said he saw the UFO on the night of Boxing Day 1980, received a medical payout from the US Veteran’s Association that confirmed he had received some physical harm from this craft.

“Ever since the incident he has had heart problems and was fitted with a pacemaker.

"John and fellow witness Jim Penniston both claim to have suffered Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after seeing the three-metre craft, covered in hieroglyphics land in the woods.

“Whether it is or not it, it will add fuel to the raging controversy that surrounds this notorious UFO incident which is second only to Roswell in the annals of ufology.”

Thousands of alien hunters flocked to the world's ET capital to celebrate the 20th UFO Festival in Roswell. Here's a look at some of the festivities.

The Presidents and UFOs: A Secret History from FDR to Obama

UFO over DC WaPo

Could President Truman have known the story behind the front page news from July 28, 1952?

For decades, pulp fiction writers, film-makers, and countless UFO researchers have maintained that a veil of secrecy surrounds the government’s knowledge of extraterrestrial beings. But does this veil – if it exists – mask more than 70 years worth of verifiable findings from even the office of the President of the United States? Author Larry Holcombe believes the answer is “yes”, and he has set forth the evidence for that belief in his book, The Presidents and UFOs: A Secret History from FDR to Obama (St. Martin’s Press). The Baltimore Post-Examiner recently spoke with Holcombe about his extensive research, which included weeks spent gleaning records in several presidential libraries. Holcombe will be one of the featured speakers at this Saturday’s Mysteries of Space & Sky Conference. The highly regarded annual UFO conference will be held in nearby Gambrills, Maryland.

BPE: Thank you for taking some time to speak with us today. To start, would you please tell us about your background? What led to your interest in UFO’s?

LH: When I was in junior high, I found a couple of Major Donald Keyhoe’s books – Flying Saucers From Outer Space and Flying Saucers Are Real – in my school library. Keyhoe was a retired Marine aviator who wrote for a number of publications in the late 1940’s. When he started to write about the flying saucer phenomenon for True Magazine, Keyhoe was a skeptic. But within a year, he became convinced that the Air Force was concealing UFO evidence.

When I graduated from high school, the Vietnam War was in progress. I joined the National Guard and served 8 years there. Then I went into selling commercial construction products, and eventually represented a manufacturer out of Chicago as a military sales manager. I closed out my business career developing the military sales for this company and traveled all over.

UFO's and PresidentsBPE: In your interaction with the military, did you ever talk about your interest in UFOs?

LH: I had some conversation, but very little. Unfortunately now, I look back on it and see that other people do the same thing; they keep it to themselves. They don’t talk about it, because it may affect their careers. A good friend who retired as a full colonel in the Air Force has a number of high-ranking officer friends who have said they are willing to talk with me. They say, “Yeah, I’d love to talk with him, but I don’t really know anything about the subject.” Whether you’ve got 3 or 4 stars on your shoulder, if you don’t have a need to know, then you don’t know.

BPE: Your book is about UFOs and the presidents. Do the presidents have a need to know?

LH: That’s a very good question. Let me answer it this way. President Truman undoubtedly had a need to know.

It is believed Truman set up an inside group, called MJ-12 or Majestic 12. This group was made up of six eminent scientists and six high-ranking military officers, including General Nathan Twining, and it charged them with handling all flying saucer issues. This was in 1947, right after Roswell and right after the National Security Act was passed and the CIA was created. Truman was deeply involved in it, although you won’t find any Truman biographer who will talk about it. There are even film clips of Truman talking about flying saucers. And there were world-wide headlines being made during the Truman Administration over flying saucers. The famous 1952 Washington merry-go-round, where Washington was overflown by numbers of these crafts. Truman got his military aide, General Robert Landry, and said (Truman had a salty tongue), “Hey get out there to find out just what the Hell is going on. I want this information to come back to me and me only.” It would strictly be handled by the office of the President.

When Truman left office, Eisenhower came in under the same general guidelines. It is my belief, based on my research, that the flying saucer issue had become so big that, after Eisenhower came into office, control of the information was slowly stripped away from the White House and placed into the hands of the intelligence community and the military industrial complex. The military industrial complex is as capable – or more – of keeping secrets than the intelligence community. They are very, very good at it.

BPE: Is that where this information still resides?

President Harry S. Truman charged Robert Landry to, “find out what the Hell is going on”.

LH: I think that’s where it resides now, so today, the presidents really know very little of it. I think it depends on who the president is, how favorable they are looked upon by the intelligence community. President George H.W. Bush was highly regarded by the intelligence community.

BPE: George H. W. Bush had been CIA Director at one point.

LH: Yes, but only for one year. People forget that. They think that, because he was Director of the CIA, that he had all the data. Bush was only director for one year, but CIA headquarters is named after him. So he was truly on the inside. I think people like Bill Clinton were frowned upon by the intelligence community, and knew very little of it. Jimmy Carter, who had a UFO sighting, said that he would open up all UFO files once he got into office, yet he learned nothing from it. Reagan probably was briefed on it in some detail. But I really think all contemporary presidents, with the exception of Richard Nixon, probably have only limited knowledge of it. I think there are some people in government that have a great deal of knowledge. Former Vice President Dick Cheney probably has a great deal of knowledge of the UFO subject, as may Donald Rumsfeld. I think they are two people on the political side that are, and have been, involved in it.

BPE: You’ve mentioned a number of the presidents from Truman to Clinton. Let me ask a specific question about President Clinton. There is a story that Clinton reached out to the intelligence community through his friend, Assistant Attorney General Webster Hubbell. Is there anything to this story?

LH: Well, the only story there is that when Clinton took office, he said to Webb Hubbell, “I want you to find two things for me as quickly as you can: who killed JFK and what really happened at Roswell.” There was probably more to the conversation, but the bottom line was Hubbell came up empty. He couldn’t get anything. So here you have a President of the United States asking for information on UFO’s, and he in essence is being denied the files or told they don’t exist.

BPE: Have you ever been to Roswell?

Major Jesse Marcel holds some of the debris recovered from the 1947 incident near Roswell, New Mexico. (Roswell Daily Record)

LH: I have been to Roswell every year for the Roswell festival. I’ve been invited by the International UFO Museum and Research Center every year since 2011 for their 3 or 4 day event, to lecture at the Museum. They gave me a lifetime membership this past July.

BPE: The museum in Roswell is quite interesting. I know they have scores of letters and affidavits posted throughout the main hall which validates, in one form or another, that something did happen there in 1947 which doesn’t follow the official party line.

LH: Well, Roswell has some 200 witnesses who have come forward. Some may not be totally believable. People, after so many years, can stretch the truth. But Roswell is of special interest to me. I am convinced that Roswell was an extraterrestrial event. I can’t prove it. I can’t give you a piece of the saucer. But there is so much evidence that that’s what it was; and the Air Force has lied so many times that instead of building their credibility, they’ve gone a long way to destroying their credibility.

You get all sorts of arguments over Roswell, but there are 6-7 basic facts that when taken together make it very, very hard to support what the Air Force said crashed there.

BPE: Between the economy and two continuing wars, both Presidents George W. Bush and Barak Obama have certainly had their hands full. Have either one of them expressed any interest in the UFO phenomena?

LH: I think that George W. Bush was so involved with terrorism after 9-11 that he gave very little consideration to the subject. When asked about it once, his reply was, “Go ask Cheney”.

When I wrote the book, I thought that Obama had very little background knowledge. That the intelligence community would not trust him or give him much information at all. But during his recent appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, when asked about the subject, his response was something like, “They don’t let us talk about that.” He said it in sort of a joking way, but that’s how he brushed it off. “They don’t let us talk about that”. Well, who is “they”? So I think there is probably a lot of truth in what he said. That he has been briefed to some limited degree, but how much a president is briefed now depends on who the president is and how much information they want to give him.

I know this may sound conspiratorial, but the people I call the keepers of the secret call the shots on how much a president knows. If there was a major UFO sighting by thousands of people, like there was in Phoenix, the president would probably be briefed on that; to what extent I do not know.

BPE: You’re talking about intrigue here, and in my mind – that brings us back to Richard Nixon.

LH: My book is actually built around the Nixon administration and what I believe was a desire to release at least some information on an extraterrestrial presence. That’s another story in and of itself, but my research shows that Nixon supported using a made for TV documentary to expose an alien presence. But then, along came Watergate and that all went away. The documentary, by the way, was eventually made, with Rod Serling as the host.

Comedian Jackie Gleason with Richard Nixon.

BPE: Aside from this documentary, I’ve heard that Nixon may have shared some of this information with one of his closest friends.

LH: We know that Jackie Gleason thought that the government was concealing UFO information. He was very concerned and irritated that the government was not divulging some of the information they had on an extraterrestrial presence.

Now it is clear to me that Nixon had a great interest in the UFO subject. He was also a very good friend of Jackie Gleason. They played golf together, and I think it’s reasonable to believe that Gleason bent Nixon’s ear about disclosure; that they talked extensively about the subject. Gleason called his house in New York the Mother Ship, and some of the smaller out buildings looked like flying saucers. When Gleason died, his wife gave 1600 volumes on UFOs to the University of Miami library.

BPE: Does your book deal with presidents prior to Truman and the events of 1948?

Yes; but it only goes back to 1941 in the administration of Franklin Roosevelt. I’ve heard the stories about George Washington going into the woods at Valley Forge and having some sort of an alien encounter; it could be. You’ve got to be skeptical but also have an open mind with these things. If you don’t, you won’t do a decent job as a researcher.

My book goes back to 1941, and the first incident that I report was told by a lady named Charlotte Mann. Mann said her grandfather, who was a Baptist minister, was called to an airplane crash in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. When he got there, it was not an aircraft as he knew it but a disc-shaped object which had crashed. Two or three very small men – 3 1/2-4 foot tall – occupants with big heads and big eyes, were dead, laying on the ground. So he went ahead and said a prayer for them. The fire department was there. Photographs had been taken, and then the military showed up. And when the military showed up, they confiscated everything, including the photographers’ film. Then the military commander got everyone together and said, “Folks, this is a very serious matter of national security. You are never to speak of it again to anyone at any time.”

If it wasn’t Japanese aircraft, what were coastal batteries shooting at during the Battle of Los Angeles?

Anyway, Charlotte Mann, who was a very small child at the time, remembers that she grew up with this being whispered about among the family from time to time. Her grandmother told her the whole story as she was dying of cancer. That’s the first incident and everything checks out as far as people have been able to check it out.

Then I go into the 1942 Battle of Los Angeles, where some 1600 rounds of anti-aircraft artillery were fired at a strange object that flew over the coast of Southern California. There was a lot of war news in 1942, but it was a pretty big deal and reported in the newspapers extensively. Some people were even reported to have had heart attacks over the event.

BPE: So your book deals with both verifiable facts and informed speculation?

LH: There are letters, which are not documented, that I do put in the book that I got from Dr. Robert Woods, a retired executive from McDonnell Douglas aircraft. Dr. Woods’ interest was started because McDonnell Douglas had a stake in UFOs. They wanted to know what the propulsion systems were, and they wanted to find out before Lockheed found out. It was a pure business decision, so McDonnell Douglas spent about $500,000, and Bob Woods headed that effort up.

When Bob retired, he became so enamored with the UFO question that he started his effort in authenticating leaked documents. Well, there are several leaked documents in his possession that were between President Roosevelt (FDR) and General George C. Marshall.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt. (New York Public Library)

In one letter General Marshall told FDR that two objects had been recovered after the Battle of Los Angeles, one by the Navy in the sea between Los Angeles and Catalina Island, and a similar object that they recovered in the San Bernadino mountains. I think his exact words were that the objects bore no resemblance to anything conventional. He went on to say that the only explanation is that they are other-worldly. I think those were his terms.

I also discuss that Roosevelt wrote George Marshall and said that, as soon as the United States was victorious in the war, which obviously he was consumed with, that they (the army and the government) would have the fruit of these wonders that we have come into possession of. And I think he even mentioned atomic weapons. But that was before anybody knew about the atomic bomb, and I’m assuming here that if Roosevelt talked about atomic power, he knew about it secretly. So he presumed that that’s what these craft must have been powered by. But that’s an assumption on my part.

The reason I put that in the book is because the terminology seemed correct for the time. For some reason, this subject seems to generate a lot of people coming forward and hoaxing things. I’m not a psychologist; I don’t understand why people do such ridiculous things. It does seem to occur quite often, so you have to be very careful. But because these documents had a ring of authenticity to them, I did include them in the book.

Ingredients for Life Were Always Present on Earth, Comet Suggests

Comet Lovejoy Seen from France

The basic building blocks of life may have been present on Earth from the very beginning.

Astronomers detected 21 different complex organic molecules streaming from Comet Lovejoy during its highly anticipated close approach to the sun this past January. Many of these same carbon-containing compounds have also been spotted around newly forming sunlike stars, researchers said.

"This suggests that our proto-planetary nebula was already enriched in complex organic molecules (as disk models suggested) when comets and planets formed," study lead author Nicolas Biver, of the Paris Observatory, told Space.com via email. [7 Theories on the Origin of Life]

Biver and his colleagues studied Comet Lovejoy with the Institut de Radioastronomie Millimétrique's 100-foot-wide (30 meters) radio telescope in Spain during two separate three-day stretches in January 2015. That's when the spectacular, green-hued comet was making its closest approach to the sun.

At the time of the observations, Lovejoy was about 0.6 astronomical units (AU) from Earth and 1.3 AU from the sun, researchers said. (One AU is the distance from Earth to the sun, about 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.)

The sun's heat drove a great deal of material from the comet's surface out into space; indeed, Lovejoy was one of the most active comets to cruise through Earth's neighborhood since the superbright Hale-Bopp in 1997, the researchers write in the new study, which was published online today (Oct. 23) in the journal Science Advances.

Biver and his team spotted 21 different complex organics in the cloud of material surrounding Lovejoy, including two — ethyl alcohol and the simple sugar glycolaldehyde — that had never been seen in a comet before.

The researchers also calculated the abundances (relative to water) of each type of organic molecule, and compared these abundances to those of organics observed in Comet Hale-Bopp and around two "protostars" by other research teams.

Overall, organics are quite abundant in comets — often more abundant, in fact, than they are around newly forming stars. This result is "in line with their [organics'] synthesis through grain-surface reactions and ice irradiation in the early solar nebula," Biver and his colleagues wrote in the study.

Modeling work suggests that the solar system's four biggest planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — migrated significantly in the solar system's early days. Some of these dramatic movements likely sent huge numbers of comets careening toward the realm of the rocky planets, which includes Earth and Mars, 4 billion years ago or so.

"So even if Earth was born dry and depleted of volatile elements, complex organics formed further away may have been supplied in large amount via comet nuclei early and certainly contributed to the emergence of more-complex molecules and ultimately life," Biver said.

Researchers in Russia discover over a dozen of mysterious disc-shaped objects containing ‘Tungsten”

More news from Russia as researchers in Volgograd have discovered over a dozen of disk-shaped objects, including one which has over four meters in diameter. According to experts, these “Alien” disc-shaped rocks contain tungsten, a high-density metal used in military technology.

Tugnsten, aka “wolfram“ is remarkable for its robustness, especially the fact that it has the highest melting point of all the elements. Tungsten’s hardness and high density give it military applications in penetrating projectiles.

The group responsible for the discovery was Kosmopoisk, according to a Russian website, Kosmopoisk is a Russian UFO and cryptozoology research group that was performing excavations in the district of Zhirnovsky, Volgograd. While researchers have stumbled upon disc-shaped rocks in the past, this is the first time a disc-shaped rock with such proportions was unearthed.

“We had already found over a dozen of these discs, most of them had a diameter of around one meter, at Kuzbass we unearthed a disc-shaped object with a diameter of nearly two meters, but this new ‘giant’ disc shaped rock is unique and impressive,” said Vadim Chernobrov, who was in charge of the excavation.

The shape of the four-meter disc, which is extremely similar to modern-day interpretations of UFO’s has given UFO hunters and Ufologists a lot to talk about. Scott Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com believes that the discovery of this mysterious disc-shaped rock is the ultimate evidence of extraterrestrial visitations in the past, and that its composition is what makes it unique, since it is made of tungsten, which is used in military technology today.

Beyond speculations about the nature of the mysterious objects that have been unearthed, the newly found disk-shaped “UFO” has been transported to the Zhirnovsky museum, where scientists are studying it trying to find out its age and the exact composition of the material’s it is made from. However many people remains skeptical about the objects suggesting that these could be the result of natural erosion and are not the result of ‘alien beings’ visiting Earth in the distant past.

Earlier this year, another mysterious disc shaped object was discovered in Russia by a mining company near the city of Belovo located in the Kuznetsk Basin. The mysterious 1.2 meter disc was located a t depth of 40 meters suggesting that it could be very old. Archaeologists performed several tests and concluded that this perfectly circular 1.2 meter disc was something made by man in the distant past.

Is it possible that these mysterious objects are “monuments” created by ancient man? Representations of what they had seen in the past? Or is it possible as skeptics suggest, that these disk-shaped objects are the product of natural erosion?

If they are the result of natural erosion… how would you explain the large amounts of tungsten?

These disc shaped objects will certainly continue to fuel the debate among UFO hunters, Ufologists and skeptics. We look forward to finding out more about the objects after experts analyze them in the Zhirnovsky museum in Russia. Stay tuned for more information about these incredible objects.

Researchers: A study shows that there was life on Earth 300 million years earlier than previously thought

     "We need to think differently about the early Earth.” Elizabeth Bell

A team of geochemists at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have just found evidence that there was life on Earth 4,100 million years ago, ie, 300 million years earlier than previously thought. The finding implies that life came into existence very soon after our world was formed, 4.554 million years ago. The work was recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

“Twenty years ago, this would have been heretical; finding evidence of life 3.8 billion years ago was shocking,” said Mark Harrison, co-author of the research and a professor of geochemistry at UCLA.

“Life on Earth may have started almost instantaneously,” added Harrison, a member of the National Academy of Sciences. “With the right ingredients, life seems to form very quickly.”

According to this new study, life existed on our planet even before the massive bombardment of the inner solar system some 3,900 million years ago when numerous celestial objects crashed into the Moon and Earth.

Carbon found in a piece of zircon indicates life on Earth began 300 million years earlier than previously thought.

“If all life on Earth died during this bombardment, which some scientists have argued, then life must have restarted quickly,” said Patrick Boehnke, a co-author of the research and a graduate student in Harrison’s laboratory.

Countless researchers believed that the Earth was a desolate and parched planet in the distant past, but just as we learned from what we have found out on Mars, it isn’t quite as science suggested.



“The early Earth certainly wasn’t a hellish, dry, boiling planet; we see absolutely no evidence for that,” Harrison said. “The planet was probably much more like it is today than previously thought.”

Under the supervision of Elizabeth Bell, investigator from UCLA studied over 10,000 zircons formed from molten rocks from Western Australia. Zircons capture and preserve their immediate environment which has led researchers to nickname them ‘time capsules’.

According to a report from UCLA’s website, scientists identified 656 zircons containing dark specks that could be revealing and closely analyzed 79 of them with Raman spectroscopy, a technique that shows the molecular and chemical structure of ancient microorganisms in three dimensions.

Researchers had one goal, look for carbon, a key component for life. Interestingly, one of the 79 zicrons contained graphite in two locations.

Researchers are very confident that these ziccros actually represent 4.1 billion year-old graphite. “There is no better case of a primary inclusion in a mineral ever documented, and nobody has offered a plausible alternative explanation for graphite of non-biological origin into a zircon.”

Harrison added that the research suggest that life as we know it in the universe could be abundant since on our planet, simple life appears to have formed very fast.

UFO sighting over Panama City, Florida on 26th September 2015

New interesting video footage of a UFO sighting recorded over Panama City, Florida on 26th September 2015.

Poster said:
I would love to have this analysed because this was truly the weirdest thing l ever encountered. It was a very cloudy night. No stars. No noise. Towards the end it started disappearing and reappearing. What l can’t see on this video, is when it really disappeared, purple light beamed from the clouds above it. I have still pics of it that l took before filming. The light emitted from it changed colors and was brighter than a regular light. The light resembled lasers or neon, however it was so bright, it seemed unreal. It was less than a mile away…l was on the 17th floor of an ocean front condo balcony. You can hear the people on the beach reacting to it…Let me know what you think. I have not believed in in aliens.

Instrumentele Ufologie

Vind hier een samenvatting van de apparatuur in dienst in het kader van instrumentele ufologie

door Jan De Ceuster

Mogelijke verklaring voor de dubbele piek in de registratie van de magnetische anomalie bij de waarneming in SKW op 9 October 2008
De optredende dubbele piek in de registratie van het magnetische veld is te verklaren als het gevolg van de voortstuwingsveldverdeling in de ruimte rondom de UFO.
Deze veldverdeling verplaatst zich samen met de UFO en beinvloedt de omgeving tijdens zijn verplaatsing in verschillende opeenvolgende fazen te weten eerst een sterketoenametijdens het naderen van de meetopstelling,vervolgens de depressie bij het pal erboven verschijnen om dan een tweede toename te produceren in het verwijderen van de meetplaats.
Het betreft hier het gravitatiegedrag van het voortstuwingsmechanisme . Dit gedrag werd reeds in de literatuur behandeld door IllobrandvonLudwiger in zijn boek *Der Stand der UFO Forschung * waarin de krachtwerkingsgedrag op bomen en voorwerpen in de omgeving omschreven wordt.
De gemeten magnetische veldverdeling verloopt nu identiek aan die van het gravitatieveld om de eenvoudige reden dat de magnetische componente van het E-M veld juist het gravitatieveld opwekt.
Wanneer nu de UFO met zijn begeleidende velden over de meetsite vliegt zal die het gemeten verloop met 2 pieken met daartussen liggende minimum achtereenvolgens in het tijdsverloop van het passeren registreren.

Gevoeligheid van de massa-veer gravimeteropstelling

Bepaling van de gevoeligheid van de massa-veeropstelling als detectiemogelijkheid voor Ufo fenomenen

De stuwkracht die een Ufo van 30 Ton ( gegevens uit het expertise onderzoek van de ufowaarneming door Marius De Wilde in Quarouble (Valenciennes –France) moet leveren om te kunnen zweven tegen de aantrekkingskracht van de aarde in wordt gegeven door de betrekking

F(Newton)= Massa(Kg) . g (m/sec^2) =30000 x 9,81 = 294300 Newton

Uitgaande van deze waarde en stellende dat de gravimeter nog een meetbaar signaal geeft bij een verplaatsing van 0,1 voor de meetmassa , zou dit betekenen dat de hoogte waarop de UFO nog zou gedetecteerd worden gegeven is :

Dx= rek van de veer bij g=9,81 m/sec^2 is 12,3mm dit wil zeggen voor

1mm is dit 9,81/12,3 = 0,794 N of voor 0,1mm wordt dit 0,0974N

Rekening houdend met de kwadratische verzwakking in functie van de afstand komt dit op een afstand van

r^2 = 294300N/0,0974N of r= 1925m

We kunnen dus concluderen dat een UFO boven het meetstation tot een hoogte van 2000m goed te detecteren valt met een veer-massa gravimeter met veerkonstante van 793N/m en een meetmassa van 650 gram. Deze opstelling geeft responsies met een resonantie frequentie tot ca 14 Hz. Deze bandbreedte van de meetopstelling is ruim voldoende om het impulsvormig gedrag van UFOs waar te nemen .( zie onderzoek van Ray Stanford waar frequenties van 6Hz tot 12 Hz gemeten werden in de frequentie analyse van het gravitatiesignaal)

Een passerende Ufo op 930m hoogte , zoals dit het geval was tijdens de waarneming in Sint Katelijne Waver in 2008, zou met de bestaande opstelling een afwijking van de meetmassa veroorzaakt hebben van ca 4,2 mm.

Have Humans devolved through history? Ancient Technology, the ultimate piece of evidence

Have you ever considered the possibility that humans as a civilization have actually de-evolved through time? According to numerous findings across the globe, humans existed on Earth much longer than we have been told by science and religion. The Human species existed on the planet when science said that it was impossible, but as with everything, views can change.

What if human beings existed on planet Earth millions of years ago? And what if those ancient humans were much more advanced than we are today? Is it possible that we have devolved as a species through time? Both physically and technologically? And if so… wouldn’t we find evidence of that?

What if humans were much more advanced as a species thousands or even millions of years ago?

According to many people there is evidence everywhere.

In 1991, during a geological research mission whose purpose was the extraction of gold in the Ural mountains in Russia near the banks of the Kozhim, Narada, and Balbanyu rivers, researchers discovered tiny structures which are now believed to be the product of an ancient civilization which was capable of developing nanotechnology 300,000 years ago.

The pieces discovered are coils, spirals and shafts among the list of unidentified components that were unearthed during the geological missions in the area.

The Russian Academy of sciences performed several tests on these mysterious objects and the results were quite interesting. Researchers found out that the largest pieces that were unearthed were made almost entirely out of copper and the smaller ones from tungsten and molybdenum.

Have Humans Devolved as a species?

The Russian Academy of Science has a structure of 11 specialized scientific divisions, three territorial divisions also referred to as branches, and it consists of 14 regional scientific centers. The Academy has numerous councils, committees and commissions, organized for different purposes and studies.

Is it possible that the human species suffers from Amnesia? Another piece that has caused confusion among people is what appears to be a screw embedded into a piece of rock. The artifact was discovered outside of Moscow in 1998 when Russian researchers were investigating the remains of a meteorite. According to Geologists, the estimated age of the rock is 300-320 million years, older than the dinosaurs and older than everything we know about our species and the planet.

Many scientists have tried explaining the origin and details of the “screw”, some have proposed that it could be the remains of a Crinoids (Marine animals that make up the class Crinoidea of the echinoderms).

There are numerous archaeological discoveries that science cannot understand, we have come across countless findings that have ended up as being just that, findings that have caught the attention of researchers, but have yet to be accurately explained.

In Labinsk, Russia, researchers discovered what appears to be some sort of microchip embedded into stone. According to scholars this discovery marks the beginning of a completely new history, one that many ancient alien theorists have been talking about for years. The object that researchers have found is believed to be some sort of ancient microchip and according to researchers, this ancient microchips dates back millions of years. After countless tests, researchers have come to the conclusion that this antique piece was used as some sort of microchip in ancient times. Many people have even noticed a mysterious “marking” on the microchip: K2000. The million dollar question is, who and what used a microchip that dates back 250 million years?

The Great Sphinx is at least 800,000 years old

Another things that is just incredible is the fact that Ukrainian geologists have studied the Sphinx and concluded that this monument is really old, at least 800,000 years.

A Revolutionary theory that is backed up by science.

The study was presented at the International Conference of Geoarchaeology and Archaeomineralogy held in Sofia titled: GEOLOGICAL ASPECT OF THE PROBLEM OF DATING THE GREAT EGYPTIAN SPHINX CONSTRUCTION.

The authors of this paper are scientists Manichev Vjacheslav I. (Institute of Environmental Geochemistry of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine) and Alexander G. Parkhomenko (Institute of Geography of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine).

The starting point of these two experts is the paradigm shift initiated by West and Schoch, a ‘debate’ intended to overcome the orthodox view of Egyptology referring to the possible remote origins of the Egyptian civilization and, on the other, physical evidence of water erosion present at the monuments of the Giza Plateau.

Ancient global patterns, the answer to history?

What if it turns out to be true that there is a pattern in the ancient monuments scattered across the globe?

Why is it that there are so many monuments across our planet that share so many similarities, not only in design but in construction methods? It seems as if there is a global signature present in all of the monuments that were erected by ancient man. How can science and history explain the fact that around the globe, different cultures and civilizations built very similar monuments... like the Pyramids. Giant structures that can be found from South America to Asia, and mysteriously, they all share great similarities. The question that no one has asked is why? Why did everyone build Pyramids?

Göbekli Tepe is believed to be the oldest place of worship in the world. It stands on the highest point of a vast mountain range located about 15 km northeast of the city of Sanliurfa (formerly Urfa / Edessa), in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border. The place, according to archaeologists, was erected to the X millennium BC, around 11.5 thousand years ago, before the start of the sedentary.

Do you believe a global pattern exists? A Pattern that could help us understand our past, present and future?

Mysteriously, this complex of stone pillars and sculptures was deliberately buried about 8000 BC, remaining abandoned for about 500 years. mysteriously, If you study the details of the pillars and T-shaped stones which weigh up to 60 tonnes that make up the sanctuary, one can distinguish between animal reliefs and other symbols, humanoid god figures, "neolithic gods" with hands located to the sides and which are joined to the front, pointing towards the navel. This posture, according to researchers, is present in many other cultures around the globe and has a sacred meaning.

The Sumerian goddess Inanna was also depicted in the same position. Similarly, the famous statues of Easter Island, known as the Moai Statues were built standing with their hands placed on the same position. According to the researchers, this position symbolizes the birth or rebirth. But the connection seems to be much deeper across several ancient civilization as similar elements can be found in Bolivia at Tiahuanaco, In Egypt and in other parts of Africa.

What led the ancients to build similar statues despite allegedly not knowing each other? What relationship can be established between Anatolia (Asia Minor, Turkey) and Easter Island located in the mere Pacific Ocean?

Another important question is why did the ancients build such large structures? Why did the ancients erect huge statues like the Moai which reach a height of up to 4 meters? The statues are extensively large when compared to the average size of human beings. Is it possible that, like some researchers suggest, the ancients built large statues because of the disasters that occurred in the distant past? Did ancient man believe that large statues would be noticed by the gods? What other explanations can we attribute to them?

Is it a coincidence that Göbekli Tepe was built about 11,500 years ago during what is believed to be the dramatic collapse of the last glacial period.Allan and JB Delair, geologist and anthropologist at Oxford, describe a cosmic disaster which occurred 11,500 years ago; a cosmic disaster that reorganized the entire solar system and the Earth itself.

ETs for Hillary: Why UFO Activists Are Excited About Another Clinton Presidency

Stephen Bassett is ready for Hillary. Bassett, Capitol Hill’s only registered UFO lobbyist, anticipates that another Clinton presidency will offer another shot at what’s long been the Holy Grail for extraterrestrial enthusiasts: full disclosure of what the US government really knows about aliens. “This is the most important issue in the world,” he says.

His enthusiasm is shared by Michael Salla, an academic turned UFO researcher who maintains that aliens have been secretly involved in American politics since the Cold War. He thinks a Clinton presidency would be a good thing for the UFO community. “I think Hillary would play a positive role in getting this information out,” he says. “I think that Hillary definitely is much more the pro-disclosure candidate, where as someone like Jeb Bush is basically status quo.”

The UFO activists’ hopes for Hillary are pinned on the assumption she believes in their cause—despite having never spoken publicly about it. In particular, they are encouraged that John Podesta, Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff, will likely chair Clinton’s campaign and would likely serve in another Clinton White House. As a self-described “curious skeptic,” Podesta has openly called for greater government transparency on UFO-related matters. In his forward to UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record, a 2011 book by journalist Leslie Kean, he wrote, “It’s time to find out what the truth really is that’s out there. The American people—and people around the world—want to know, and they can handle the truth.”

Podesta’s interest in extraterrestrial phenomenon is nothing new. In 1998, theWashington Post described his “fanatical devotion to ‘The X-Files’—especially FBI agent Fox Mulder, with whom he shares a penchant for obsessiveness and paranoia.” Grant Cameron, a Canadian UFO researcher, unsuccessfully tried to get the Clinton Library to release records detailing Podesta’s X-Files-themed 50th birthday party, which was apparently thrown by the first couple—who may have dressed up as the show’s main characters.

In February, as he prepared to step down as a senior adviser to President Obama, Podesta tweeted about the UFO issue:

While the tweet may have been tongue in cheek, UFO activists went nuts over it. “It was a big frickin’ deal,” says Bassett. “Someone who has been an adviser to the president of the United States, and is leaving his job, and it’s already been announced publicly that he is going to be a key adviser to the heir apparent to the White House, the de facto candidate, does not, on the day he leaves the White House, put out a tweet about UFOs. He’s inviting hundreds of articles to be written about this tweet.” Podesta did not respond to a request for comment.

The other reason that UFO enthusiasts are excited about a potential Clinton victory goes back to the X-Files era. In early 1993, Laurance S. Rockefeller began to lobby the Clinton administration to release any government information related to UFOs and extraterrestrials, including the 1947 Roswell incident. The fourth child of John D. Rockefeller Jr., Rockefeller was a successful venture capitalist, philanthropist, and conservationist. One of his lesser-known interests was UFOs. (He died in 2004.)

Over the next three years, Rockefeller and his associates corresponded and met with officials in the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, according to documents released as part of a records request filed by Cameron. The effort, known as the Rockefeller Initiative, helped push the Air Force to produce what it characterized as the definitive report on Roswell. (UFO activists were not satisfied, to say the least.) The initiative also may have helped spur a 1995 executive order that declassified millions of records, of which the vast majority were not UFO-related.

In August 1995, Rockefeller met with Hillary Clinton, and perhaps Bill, at his Wyoming ranch. In a memo, the then-director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Jack Gibbons, warned the Clintons about Rockefeller’s agenda before the visit. “[Rockefeller] will want to talk with you about his interest in extrasensory perception, paranormal phenomena, and UFO’s,” he wrote. Gibbons said he’d tried to persuade Rockefeller “not to bother you with this issue” and to focus instead on the administration’s science and technology policies. Rockefeller, he continued, “knows that we are trying to be helpful in responding to his concerns about UFO’s [sic] and human potential—and that we’re keeping an open mind about such matters—but I’ve made no secret about my conviction that we must not be too diverted from more earthly imperatives.” Gibbons could not be reached for comment.

Hillary Clinton with Laurance Rockefeller at his Wyoming ranch in 1995 Grant Cameron/Stephen Bassett

Documents from the Rockefeller Initiative posted on Bassett’s website suggest that the first lady was kept in the loop. A November 1995 letter to Gibbons from one of Rockefeller’s lawyers included a draft letter to President Clinton “which Laurance has been discussing with Mrs. Clinton and her staff.” Three months later, Rockefeller wrote Gibbons about the letter, which the White House was apparently in no hurry to receive: “It well may be that it will be timely to put this before the President late this year in order that it might receive attention in a second term. You indicated that you will keep the First Lady’s Office informed, and we shall as well.”

Bassett says the Rockefeller Initiative proves that the Clintons were interested in pursuing meaningful UFO and extraterrestrial disclosure. “You don’t go through all of this, and have this much work, just to amuse a billionaire,” he says. “If you did, you’d have to answer to that.” Bassett has been lobbying for congressional hearings on the question of UFO contact with the US government. He says that forcing the Clintons to discuss the Rockefeller Initiative is key to his strategy. “I call it the exopolitical blue dress,” he says, referring to Monica Lewinsky’s infamous blue dress and “exopolitics,” a term for the intersection of terrestrial politics and extraterrestrial beings.

Salla, who has claimed that humans are currently in touch with 17 extraterrestrial civilizations, says that Hillary Clinton’s return is another indicator that the truth is coming. He cites Jimmy Kimmel’s recent interview with President Obama, in which the president quipped that he hasn’t delved into the government’s UFO files because “the aliens won’t let it happen. You’d reveal all their secrets. They exercise strict control over us.”

Where most people heard a punch line, Salla discerned a direct link to Podesta and perhaps something deeper. “The fact that he said aliens exert strict control over us—no president has ever said that before, even as a joke,” Salla says. “Obama said things that shouldn’t just be assumed to be throwaway lines. A senior adviser a month before said he was frustrated by a lack of progress and now you have Obama on Jimmy Kimmel saying that. I think it’s worth raising the question.”

Asked for clarification of Hillary Clinton’s stance on UFO disclosure, a spokesman from her office responded via email. “Our non-campaign has a strict policy of not commenting on extraterrestrial activity,” Nick Merrill wrote. “BUT, the Truth Is Out There.”

Alioshenka. A monument for The Small Alien of Urals

Monument for Alioshenka, the banks of Anbash lake. The sculpture is made of stone, concrete and metal.

RUSSIA. CHELYABINSK Oblast. KISHTYM City. Sientists from Kosmopoisk (translated Russian Organization of Research Public), also known as Spacesearch, a group with interests in ufology, cryptozoology, and other mystery investigations - they are reopened the investigation about the materials rescued two decades ago during the episode of a UFO that crashed in the woods near Kyshtym. The episode occurred in 1996.

Expedition members have hope to find traces of the spaceship, in which a little humanoid was wounded. The creature stood known worldwide under the name Alyoshenka.

This is the tenth time that "Kosmopoisk" visits Kishtym. The searchings are focused on the banks of Lake Anbash. The place was chosen because, according to eyewitnesses, was there that 19 years ago, an unidentified flying object landed or fell.

The head of Kosmopoisk organization, Vadim Chernobrov explains that - The researchers are interested in several unusual events, including the fall of the a meteorite in the same region, the same year, 1996.

Chernobrov tells: We received a message from the Academy of Sciences, which was written by a resident of Kishtym. The letter describe the meteorite like a silvery object that had the shape of an elongated cigar.

ABOVE. Also, there were holes in trees. For this witness, considering the angle of the trajetory and its speed, there is no doubt that it was not a meteorite, but something quite different. Trunks of huge trees appeared burnt by some kind of powerfull laser that left precise horizontal marks. Meteorites do not leave such traces.

THE HISTORY

There 19 years ago, in a small town of South Ural, weird events occurred and became known to the whole world under the name "Kyshtym phenomenon.

In the apartment of an elderly resident of the village - Tamara Prosvirina Kaolin, it was discovered the mummified body of an alien being.

The woman tried hide him and feed him and gave a name to the being, Alexis. This would be the begining of the history of the extraterrestrial that the world knows like Aliyoshenka.

The daughter in law of Mrs. Tamara, saw the creature many times. A pensioner that used to visit the family, told to newspapers and authorities that also saw the creature alive.

When police arrived to the local, Aloyoshenka already was dead and Tamara Prosvirina, was desolated.

The police officer Vladimir Bendlina leaded the investigation of the case. In this context, some ufologists from Kamensk-Ural, that claimed the the guard of the corpse, were persuaded to give the specimen to the police guard. After this, the body of the small alien vanished without a trace.

This history of the little Alioshenka is a mystery, matter of controversy among researchers. Despite the vanishing of the proves, the corpse, before this, The Discovery channel got produce a documentary about the occurrence. The documentary has precious images of Alioshenka.

MONUMENT

This summer (July, 2015), members the organization "Kosmopoisk" camped on the banks of Lake Anbash - where, according to eyewitnesses, in 1996 - unidentified flying object landed there.

In memory of this event, the activists of the organization erected a monument in Kyshtym, on the shores of the lake. Immediately the site became an atraction that has attracted the attention of tourists.

5 Most Likely Locations of Atlantis (Video)

(Before It's News)

The Legend of Atlantis begins with two dialogues: Timaeus and Critias, written by a classical Greek philosopher, Plato. He describes the inhabitants of Atlantis as a noble and powerful race who lived on the island located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Was Plato right and is Atlantis lost underwater forever?

This map of Atlantis – oriented with south at the top – was drawn by 17th century scholar Athanasius Kircher, who pinpointed the mythical continent as being in the mid-Atlantic before it was lost to the sea.

Video below presents 5 documentary facts and real locations where the mysterious lost city of Atlantis might be found.

Including the volcanic Azores islands with archaeological evidence of an ancient civilization, the Andes Solution placing Atlantis in the altiplano of Boliva, a mysterious map pointing to Antarctica, the sunken island of Thera rocked by earthquakes and an area of Andalusia, Spain that was buried by a monster tsunami.

Beyond Roswell: UFO Crashes You May Never Have Heard Of

by Ryan Sprague

When we think of UFO crashes, there’s really only one case that comes to mind. Yup… that one. What many are not aware of, however, is that there are literally thousands of other cases involving crashed saucers, fireballs hurdling towards earth, and everything in between. With many of these crashes, bodies were found. And even more interesting were the lengths in which military bodies went to clean everything up before news got out. Below are a few examples of UFO crashes you may never have heard of… for a reason.

Aurora, Texas – 1897

Perhaps one of the first recorded cases involving a crashed UFO occurred over a century ago in the town of Aurora, Texas.

On April 19th of 1897, a story appeared in the local newspaper about a strange airship that had been sighted over the town. The story went on to claim that this ship had crashed into a windmill tower, sending it to the ground in a blazing explosion. Apparently, some of the material recovered had strange hieroglyphic symbols on it. Also amongst the wreckage was that of an ‘alien’ life form which the townsfolk buried in the local cemetery.

Although most researchers regard this as a hoax, there are still some who pursue the case, going so far as to try to exhume the grave where the alien body was supposedly buried. Their requests were denied by the city officials, and the case remains unsolved until today.

Credit: www.roswellbooks.com

Tunguska, Siberia – 1908

It was on June 30th of 1908, near the lower Tunguska River of Siberia, when a large explosion occurred. The explosion was so large, that it could be felt from almost 400 miles away. For several nights all over northern Europe, the sky glowed enough to light the street of London. At first it was assumed that a massive meteorite had collided with the earth. Given the remoteness of the area, it was not until 1927 that an expedition was mounted to investigate the crash area. The expedition turned up absolutely nothing, which seemed close to impossible, considering the size of the explosion which rivaled that of the Atomic Bomb aftermath.

Scientists speculated many theories for this crash and its source, everything ranging from black holes, to anti-matter experiments, up to even saying it could have been a nuclear device from an alien race.

No matter the case, many of the witnesses to the original crash claimed to have seen an oval-shaped mass moving across the sky, as well as seeing the object change course, and having a very low speed.

Most people today believe that what hit Tunguska was simply a meteorite. But many still believe this could have possibly been the crash of an alien mothership. Either theory is equally as terrifying, considering the devastating impact it had on the surrounding area.

Las Vegas – 1962

While thought to be nothing by rumor amongst many UFO researchers, witness reports began to surface about a crash that supposedly took place on April 18th of 1962 on the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada.

The object was first spotted over Oneida, NY (Miles from my hometown of Syracuse!) and was heading in a westerly direction. Other reports of a similar object were also reported in Kansas, Colorado, and Utah. Tracked on several radar systems, the object disappeared when it hit the Nellis base.

Thousands of witnesses reported the object, assuming it was a meteorite. But the Air Force wasn’t happy with this assumption. So much so that the Air Defense Command scrambled several fighter jets to investigate.

Claims out of Eureka were that the object came down in the town, at the same time, the town experienced several blackouts. It was then reported that the object took off again, and the power in the town immediately sprung back to life. Reports also trickled in from commercial pilots in the area, claiming it was below their own altitudes, thus negating speculation that this was a meteorite of some kind. Though the Air Force remained steadfast in explaining it away as such, even though this “crashed meteorite” seemed to land and then take off again.

Varginha, Brazil – 1996

It was in the first weeks of 1996 when news quickly spread across various news outlets in Brazil that the military had captured a downed alien craft and an extraterrestrial being in the town of Varginha. The news spread so far as The Wall Street Journal.

According to media reports, the being was first sighted by a group of young women on January 20th. The women described seeing a creature of five or so feet tall, a large head and skinny body. It had brown skin and large red eyes. It was wobbling back and forth, clearly unsteady. The women assumed it was sick or injured. The women raced home to tell their mother of what they’d seen. She returned to the area to smell a strong odor of ammonia. The creature was nowhere to be found however. Rumors began to spread throughout the town that an alien had been sighted and that UFOs were invading the area. Apparently, the military was brought in to investigate.

The Brazilian government has officially denied any claims of being involved in the incident, but many claim that this is nothing but a cover-up. With very little credible testimony, and no irrefutable evidence, the Varginha case remains a complete mystery in the annals of UFO crashes.

www.sott.net

With UFOs crashing all over the world, one has to wonder just exactly how intelligent these so-called intelligent aliens truly are. Are these merely misidentified meteorites, weather balloons, or online hoaxes? Or are we dealing with the fact that extraterrestrials may be here on earth? That mystery lay deep in the ground of many UFO researchers work, including the minds of the public as a whole.

One thing, however, is certain: if these aliens are supposedly traveling across vast star systems and blinking in and out of wormholes, you’d think they’d take every precaution once they entered our atmosphere and started poking around our skies.

Just be careful, dear reader, next time you have a UFO sighting… you never know when it’s going to hurdle towards your head in a fiery blaze.

Deze zoenende sterren gaan hun ondergang tegemoet - HLN.be

Volkskrant.nl Een artistieke impressie van hoe de twee zoenende sterren eruitzien. © afp.

Wetenschap Twee zoenende sterren, het klinkt ontzettend romantisch. Maar het lot van de dubbelster VFTS 352 - "de heetste en grootste die ooit gespot werd" volgens wetenschappers van het European Southern Observatory - is alles behalve romantisch.

Nooit slaagden wetenschappers erin twee sterren te spotten die zich in zulke hete en innige omhelzing bevinden. Astronomen hopen dat de ontdekking meer antwoorden zal bieden in het grote vraagstuk over hoe ons melkwegstelsel is ontstaan.

De 'contactdubbelster', VFTS 352 gedoopt, is volgens de wetenschappers heter dan je zou verwachten. De dubbelster is zestig keer zo groot als onze zon en heeft een oppervlaktetemperatuur die bijna tien keer warmer is.

NASA legt 'glimp van ons onafwendbare einde' vast

"Fascinerende ontdekking"

VFTS 352 is geen 'vampierster', zoals vaker voorkomt. Dan zuigt de ene ster de andere op. De twee sterren van VFTS 352 zijn ongeveer even groot en bevinden zich zo dicht bij elkaar dat 30 procent van hun materiaal gemeenschappelijk is. Ee kernen van de sterren zijn ongeveer 12 miljoen kilometer van elkaar verwijderd, en daarom spreken de wetenschappers van 'kussende sterren'.

Twee zoenende sterren zijn nog maar zelden vastgelegd, zo melden de wetenschappers, omdat het proces maar van korte duur is. "De VFTS 352 is het beste voorbeeld dat tot nu toe werd gevonden van een grote dubbelster die een interne vermenging vertoont", legt Leonardo A. Almeida, hoofdauteur van de studie, uit. "Dit is een fascinerende en belangrijke ontdekking."

Geen 'happy end'

Dat klinkt echter romantischer dan het eigenlijk is: het lot van de dubbelster ziet er een pak minder rooskleurig uit. De wetenschappers spreken over twee mogelijke scenario's. Ofwel versmelten ze over zo'n 100.000 jaar volledig met elkaar tot een gigantische ster die uiteindelijk zal ontploffen. Ofwel zullen ze traag maar zeker inkrimpen en niet volledig versmelten. Dan ondergaan ze een supernova-explosie en worden ze twee zwarte gaten, die steeds dichter om elkaar zullen heen draaien tot ze alsnog met elkaar samensmelten, opnieuw met een grote explosie. Wat er uiteindelijk ook gebeurt, er komt geen 'happy end'.

De dubbelster, die in de Tarantula-nevel ligt, is 160.000 lichtjaren verwijderd van ons, dus eigenlijk gebeurde wat we hier nu zien al die lichtjaren geleden. Om te weten wat er vervolgens gebeurt, zullen we dus even moeten blijven kijken.

Slaapverlamming: de angstaanjagende aandoening die nachtmerries tot leven wekt - HLN.be

Bron: DailyMail

Vaak komt een schaduw naar je toe terwijl je niet kan bewegen. © YouTube.

Stel je voor: je ligt in bed, wakker, maar verlamd. Je bent je bewust van alles wat zich in de kamer afspeelt, maar je zit gevangen in je eigen lichaam. En alsof dat nog niet erg genoeg is, begin je te hallucineren. Griezelige figuren sluipen je kamer binnen en je kan er niets aan doen. Wie aan slaapverlamming lijdt, moet deze horror doorstaan. De documentaire 'The Nightmare' brengt de aandoening op griezelige wijze in beeld.

© The Nightmare.

De 24-jarige Helena Adelina lijdt aan slaapverlamming, waarbij haar nachtmerries plots heel dichtbij komen. Elke nacht wordt Helena wakker in haar bed, ze kan niet bewegen, maar ze is ervan overtuigd dat er iets in de kamer aanwezig is. De kwade entiteit grijpt haar vast en fluistert in haar oor. Soms ziet ze de donkere figuur naar haar toe sluipen, andere keren hoort ze hem alleen dichterbij komen.

"Het is een mager, lang silhouet", zegt Helena. "Soms fluistert hij dingen in mijn oor over oorlog en de dood. Soms grijpt hij me bij mijn enkels en trekt hij mij onder de lakens. Dan moet ik vechten en kan ik bijna niet ademen." Elke keer voelt Helena zich volledig bewust en klaarwakker, maar ze kan niet bewegen en ze wordt verstikt door angst.

Helena's slaapverlamming is niet zo zeldzaam. Honderdduizenden mensen lijden eraan. Een nieuwe documentaire 'The Nightmare', laat patiënten aan het woord over hun ervaringen. Meestal komt een man of heks in de schaduw naar de patiënt toe geslopen of voelen patiënten een boosaardige geest in de kamer. Omdat de nachtmerries zo realistisch zijn, voelen patiënten de dromen niet aan als dromen. Alles voelt heel echt en dat kan heel traumatiserend zijn. Pas na een tijdje verdwijnt de verlamming.

Gelukkig lijdt niet iedereen aan een zware vorm van slaapverlamming, zoals Helena, die er alles aan deed om maar niet in slaap te vallen. "Mijn mentale gezondheid ging erop achteruit en ik vertelde niemand over mijn aandoening", zegt ze.

Opgelet voor bore-out: verveel je niet ziek op het werk

Oorzaak

De oorzaak van slaapverlamming is een raadsel voor wetenschappers. Professor Chris French, psycholoog aan de University of London, vergelijkt het met slaapwandelen. "In de remslaap beleef je de meest realistische dromen. Het is normaal dat je spieren dan verlammen om te vermijden dat je je dromen ook uitvoert", zegt French. "Voor we wakker worden, krijgen we weer controle over onze spieren, maar bij mensen met slaapverlamming loopt er iets fout in deze fase." Op die manier wordt de grens tussen droom en werkelijkheid overschreden.

Remedie

Wie aan slaapverlamming lijdt, kan dat verhelpen door goede slaappatronen. Vermijd alcohol en cafeïne en eet niet te veel voor je gaat slapen. Probeer ook niet op je rug te slapen, want die positie kan leiden tot een gebrekkige slaap. Als je samen met een partner slaapt, kan je hem of haar vragen je wakker te maken van zodra je vreemde gedragingen vertoont.

"En zelfs gewoon weten dat er zoiets als slaapverlamming bestaat, kan al helpen", zegt professor French. "Het helpt je te beseffen dat je niet gek bent en dat het niet echt geesten en demonen zijn."

Wetenschap De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA heeft voor het eerst een glimp opgevangen van hoe het einde van ons zonnestelsel eruit zou kunnen zien.

Het einde van de aarde is nog niet voor meteen, maar beelden van de dood van een afgelegen zonnestelsel geven een idee van hoe die apocalyps eruit zou zien. De ruimtemissie Kepler 2 heeft voor het eerst de vernietiging van een zonnestelsel vastgelegd. Op de beelden zijn de restanten van een uiteengerukte planeet te zien die rond een zogenoemde dode ster of witte dwerg cirkelt in het sterrenbeeld Virgo (Maagd), zo'n 570 lichtjaren verwijderd van de Aarde.

Wetenschappers merkten stukken van een uiteengescheurde planeet op die elke 4,5 tot 5 uur rond de witte dwerg cirkelden. De vernietigde planeet bevindt zich in een baan van 836.858 kilometer rond de dode ster, ongeveer het dubbele van de afstand tussen de Aarde en de maan.

"Dit is iets wat geen mens ooit heeft gezien", zegt Andrew Vanderburg van het Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "We zien hoe een zonnestelsel vernietigd wordt."

Zonachtige sterren bestaan uit een reeks nucleaire reacties die waterstof omzetten in helium. Maar wanneer de waterstof opgebruikt is, worden zwaardere elementen als helium, koolstof en zuurstof opgebrand en zet de ster dramatisch uit. Uiteindelijk branden de buitenste lagen volledig op, waarna er een aardachtige kern overblijft, bekend als een witte dwerg.

Onafwendbaar einde

            Wanneer de zon over vijf miljard jaar begint te sterven, zal ze uitzetten en de nabijgelegen planeten opslokken. Eerst zijn Mercurius en Venus aan de beurt, maar uiteindelijk ook de Aarde

Het team van Vanderburg merkte het dode zonnestelsel op toen het de witte dwerg WD1145+017 bestudeerden en zagen hoe de ster 40 procent minder licht voortbracht wanneer er een groot object voorbij trok. Toen ze die brok bestudeerden, ontdekten ze verscheidene rotsblokken die rond de dode ster cirkelden.

In het wetenschapstijdschrift Nature beschrijft Vanderburg de resultaten als het eerste bewijs voor rotsachtige, uiteenvallende objecten rond een witte dwerg. Die ontdekking verklaart een van de mysteries in de astronomie, namelijk de zware metaalvervuiling in sommige witte dwergen. "We hebben nu een echte link tussen de vervuiling van witte dwergen en de vernietiging van rotsachtige planeten", aldus Vanderburg.

De astronomen weten nog niet waar de rotsachtige restanten rond de dode ster vandaan komen. Een mogelijke verklaring is dat de dood van de ster de baan van een nabijgelegen planeet destabiliseerde waardoor kleinere planeten naar de ster werden gezogen. Daarbij kwamen ze zo dichtbij de verzengende hitte dat ze opbrandden en uiteengerukt werden door de zwaartekracht.

Volgens de astronomen kan ons zonnestelsel een gelijkaardig lot ondergaan. Wanneer de zon over vijf miljard jaar begint te sterven, zal ze uitzetten en de nabijgelegen planeten opslokken. Eerst zijn Mercurius en Venus aan de beurt, maar uiteindelijk zal ook de Aarde wellicht worden vernietigd.

Volgens Francesca Faedi, een astronoom aan de universiteit van Warwick, kan de dood van de ster die Vanderburg en zijn team bestudeerden er ook toe hebben geleid dat nabijgelegen planeten tegen elkaar zijn gebotst, en zo zijn uiteengevallen in rotsblokken die lijken op asteroïdes. "Het is extreem opwindend dat astronomen de laatste stuiptrekkingen van een planetair systeem hebben vastgelegd", schrijft ze in Nature. "Hoewel de finale dagen van de Aarde nog ver weg zijn, toont dit onderzoek ons een glimp van ons onafwendbare einde."

Metallic Triangle UFO Over Sydney, Australia On Sept 22, 2015, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 22, 2015
Location of sighting: Melbourne, Australia
Source: MUFON #71760

At first I thought this could be a government project like Aurora or the TR3B, but its shape is not a perfect triangle, however its center orb does light up when powering up for high speed. The UFO does have a white glow at its center and on a wingtip in one photo. These photos are huge, 2.3MB in size and deliver some great detail. This is pure alien tech here.

Eyewitness states:
After locking my telescope observatory I walked down the side of my home to check my plants for watering @ which time I looked skyward to check for rain when I saw an object that resembled a large piece of aluminum fluttering in the distance. I watched this object for 30 to 40 sec before running inside to grab my camera (Canon 400d with 300 mm zoom lens & then running out the back door hoping it would stay on the same heading, it did & I was able to find it pretty quickly again. I watched it move left, right, descend & ascend at will with no turning circle at all, just direct directional changes of up to 180deg at times with no speed loss before slowing at witch time I engaged the image stabilizer on the camera & took 4 shots, all within 10 seconds, after the fourth images it changed direction by 180 deg & ascended into the clouds, I watched that area of sky for the next 1.30 hours with no joy, after witch time I went inside to check the images to find an object unlike anything I've ever seen or researched training to be a pilot in my younger years. I'm an astronomer & have not submitted these images till now, because an astronomer may be seen as someone looking for ALIENS which is not case, I'm an astrophotographer.

The largest astronomy image of all time reveals something amazing

etacarinae
(© Lehrstuhl für Astrophysik, RUB)

While we can't show you the entire image, this is a piece of it revealing one of the most active stars in our galaxy called Eta Carinae (identified by the red arrow) and is gaseous environment called the Carina nebula (shown in green).

The largest astronomical image ever made is so big we can't even show it here.

To see this brilliant masterpiece in all its beauty, you'll have to use this online tool, which not only shows the image but also has a search feature you can use to identify specific objects.

Generated from five years of observations in one of the driest places on Earth, the image is of our home galaxy the Milky Way.

And it reveals something amazing: 50,000 never-before-seen variable objects that will undoubtedly help astronomers in their search for planets outside of our solar system.

Space just got a little more crowded.

Variable objects get their name from the fact that the light we receive from them varies over time. This can happen when a second object, like a planet or star, passes in front of the variable object and temporarily blocks some of its light.

For this reason, variable objects are a vital tool in many fields of astronomy, including the search for planets around other stars that could harbor extraterrestrial intelligence.

Astronomers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum in Germany spent night after night snapping pictures of the southern sky at their university observatory in the Atacama Desert, in Chile.

Paranal Observatory in the Atacama Desert in Chile.

Next to the frozen deserts at the North and South Poles, the Atacama Desert is the driest place on Earth. Some parts are so arid that no plants or animals can survive.

These extreme conditions are an observational astronomer's paradise. The dry air means few cloudy nights, clear skies, and most importantly, limited moisture to absorb or deflect precious light from faint cosmic objects, including variable objects.

Under these pristine conditions, the astronomers focused on the iconic bright band across the sky that shines from the densely packed stars near the center of our galaxy.

A fish-eye mosaic of the Milky Way arching across the night sky. Our home galaxy is about 100,000 light-years long.

To spot the variable objects, they take pictures of the same spot in the sky over several days and then compare them.

The team's work spanned such a large region of the sky that they first divided the photos up into 268 sections and then combined them forming what is the largest, single astronomical image to date. It contains 47 billion pixels and took several weeks to process.

By identifying over 50,000 new variable objects, these astronomers have contributed an invaluable data set for future investigations of other solar systems and their planets.

Three scientific mysteries that suggest Earth's Moon was engineered

Wild theory or a possibility? What would you say to a theory that says that Earth’s moon is in fact a giant artificial construction? Is it just a wild conspiracy or is there anything about the moon that seems to be off?

Robin Brett, a scientists from NASA stated, “It seems easier to explain the non-existence of the Moon than its existence.”

There are so many mysteries about the Moon that many people have created countless theories that try to explain the enigmatic features of our planets moon and as wild as some of these theories might be, scientists themselves have said that the moon is one big odd celestial body. Some researchers believe that our moon should not be where it is currently, and there are some who suggest that the Moon was placed into orbit around Earth on purpose. The Moon’s unnatural orbit and irregular composition raises hundreds of questions that neither NASA scientists, astronomers nor geologists are able to answer today.

Here are three things that I find extremely fascinating about the moon, three points that according to many ufologists prove that the Moon is in fact an artificially engineered construction.

The Age of the moon is waaaaaaay off

Some scientists believe that Earth’s moon is older than our planet. Our moon is unlike any other satellite discovered in the known universe. According to researchers the moon is around 4.6 billion years old which means that Earth’s faithful companion is older than our planet by nearly 800,000 years.

Strange Lunar Rocks with huge traces of Titanium

There are some lunar rocks that have been found to contain ten times more titanium that “titanium rich” rocks on planet Earth. Here on Earth we use Titanium in supersonic jets, deep diving submarines and spacecraft. It’s unexplainable. Dr Harold Urey, Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry said he was “terribly puzzled by the rocks astronauts found on the moon and their Titanium content. The samples were unimaginable and mind-blowing since researchers could not account for the presence of Titanium.

The Moon has elements it should not have

In the 1970’s Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcerbakov from the Soviet Academy of science wrote an article called: “Is the Moon the creation of Alien Intelligence?” It was a very interesting article that asked some important questions. How is it possible that the surface of the moon is so hard and why does it contain minerals like Titanium?

Mysteriously, there are some lunar rocks that have been found to contain PROCESSED METALS, such as Brass, Mica and the elements of Uranium 236 and Neptunium 237 that have NEVER been found to occur naturally. Yet there are traces of them on the Moon. Uranium 236 is a radioactive nuclear waste which is found in spent nuclear and reprocessed Uranium. More interestingly, Neptunium 237 is a radioactive metallic element and a by-product of nuclear reactors and the production of Plutonium. You have to ask the question: What is happening on Earth’s Moon? From where are these elements and minerals coming from?

Did The Nazis Build A Secret Antarctic Base?

In the 1930's, Nazis exploring the southern extremities of the globe set up a base (called base-211) in Antarctica. You may have heard of Operation Highjump and how Admiral Byrd had an altercation with entrenched German forces that overpowered them with amazing flying craft. A map from the Third Reich (obtained by Russian forces during WW2) has recently surfaced detailing not only the direct passageway used by German U-boats to access this subterranean domain, but also a complete map of both hemispheres of the inner realm of Agartha!

After the Soviet collapse in 1991, the KGB released previously classified files that cast light on the mysterious US led Naval expedition to Antarctica in 1947.

The intelligence report, gathered from Soviet KGB spies embedded in the US, revealed that the US Navy had sent the military expedition led by Admiral Byrd to find and destroy a hidden Nazi base.

On the way, they encountered and were defeated by a German saucer force that destroyed several ships and planes, forcing the US to retreat and implement a media cover-up lasting up until today.

Officially called “The United States Navy Antarctic Development Program,” the naval component of Operation Highjump was comprised of 4700 military personnel, an aircraft carrier (the USS Philippine Sea among the largest of all carriers of the time), and a number of naval support ships and aircraft.

The Naval expedition was headed by famed polar explore Admiral Richard Byrd, who had been ordered to:

“to consolidate and extend American sovereignty over the largest practical area of the Antarctic continent. To establish Little America”

Byrd’s expedition ended after only 8 weeks with “many fatalities” according to initial news reports based on interviews with crew members who spoke to the press while passing through Chilean ports.

Rather than deny the heavy casualty reports, Admiral Byrd revealed in an interview that they had encountered a new enemy that “could fly from pole to pole at incredible speeds.”

Admiral Byrd’s statements were published in the Chilean Press but never publicly confirmed by US authorities. Indeed Byrd did not speak again to the Press about Operation Highjump, leaving it for researchers to speculate for decades over what really happened, and why Byrd was silenced.

If the fortress was in Antarctica, was it built by the Nazis, or discovered there? After the defeat of Nazi Germany, according various sources, elite Nazi scientists and leaders escaped to this impregnable fortress by Uboats, two of which experienced difficulties and surrendered in Argentina.

Aliens Or Not, There's Still A Lot To Discover In NASA's Kepler Data

This week, the internet worked itself into a frenzy over the possibility that we’ve found an alien megastructure. But whether or not there’s a Dyson sphere buried in the Kepler data, the discovery of a strange, flickering star is very interesting.

Indeed, it points to an entirely new use for the spectral data on 150,000-odd stars that NASA’s Kepler mission spent four years acquiring: Finding and studying really weird astronomical phenomena.

Aliens?!

If you missed the latest alien hysteria, here’s the gist: A thousand light years from Earth in the direction of the Cygnus constellation, a star known as KIC 846285 is behaving in an extraordinary manner. The star flashes and fades, light a lightbulb on a dimmer switch. On several occasions during our four years observing it, its light output dipped by over 20%.

It doesn’t look at all like the planetary transit events Kepler was built to detect — these will cause a star to dim periodically, by about 1% at most. As far as astronomers can tell, there’s nothing else like KIC 846285 in the Kepler database.
Aliens or Not, There's Still A Lot to Discover In NASA's Kepler Data

Dips in KIC 846285’s brightness over a 1500 day observational period. The bottom two panels are blown-up versions of the top one centered around day 800 and 1500. Image via Boyajian et al.

In a paper released on arXiv, a research team led by Tabby Boyajian proposes a number of natural explanations for the star’s light signature, including giant sunspots, epic clouds of cosmic dust, and a massive collision between two planet-sized objects. All of these scenarios are problematic for one reason or another. The most likely story is that a “family of exocomet fragments” were swept into orbit around KIC 8462582 when another star zipped close by.

Then there’s the unnatural explanation: Aliens. As astronomer Jason Wright explains in a forthcoming paper, KIC 8462852’s light pattern could be consistent with a “swarm of megastructures” built by an alien civilisation to harness the star’s energy. Wright, Boyajian, and UC Berkeley SETI director Andrew Siemion are now proposing that we point a massive radio dish at the star, to hunt for the technobabble of an advanced society.

“I’m still stumped about what could be going on,” Wright told me in an email. “But something is clearly orbiting the star, and whatever they are, they are very large and have complex shapes.”

A New Use For Kepler?

Whether or not the alien explanation holds water — and we should bear in mind that every time researchers have cried aliens in the past, they have been wrong — the fact that KIC 8462852 has piqued the interest of SETI is, in itself, interesting.

The Kepler mission was designed to stare unblinking at a fixed point in the sky, hunting for the tiny shadows of planets transiting across stars. And it’s done a beautiful job. To date, Kepler has uncovered over 4100 planetary candidates and 1000 confirmed exoplanets. Extrapolating from its small cosmic census, astronomers have reached an astounding conclusion.

“We have learned most stars have planets, that Earth sized planets are common, and a good fraction are in the habitable zone of their star,” lead Kepler investigator Bill Borucki said at an exoplanet conference I attended this past May. “And when you put the numbers together: 100 billion stars, 10 per cent with Earth-sized planets, 10 per cent stars like the sun, that’s a billion Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone of stars like the sun.”

The Kepler mission has literally revolutionised our view of the cosmos. Thirty years ago, we weren’t sure there were any Earth-like planets beyond our solar system, now, there could be a billion. The possibility of finding life beyond Earth is no longer a pipe dream.

But as recent the Dyson sphere hubbub shows, there’s more to Kepler’s wealth of data than planetary bean counting.

A collision between two massive objects is one phenomena we might discover by looking at starlight. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/T. Pyle (SSC)

To wit, by deliberately seeking out weird spectral patterns within Kepler’s dataset, we might discover all sorts of interesting and bizarre astronomical phenomena. Wright imagines quite a few possibilities in a forthcoming paper, including gravitational interactions between planets, massive exomoons, asymmetrical stars, and yes, alien infrastructure. That last one is all that the popular press picked up on, but any of these discoveries would be fascinating.

KIC 8462852 also shows us how to go about finding the cosmically weird and unexpected: Human eyeballs. Our putative Dyson sphere was first noticed by Planet Hunters, a fleet of volunteer citizen scientists who have been trained to trawl through spectral data and pick out stars that look interesting. Because KIC 8462852’s flickering pattern is so irregular, it would have been tough for a computer algorithm to spot. But ordinary men and women on their lunch break could tell that this star was special, and now, SETI astronomers want to point radio telescopes at it.

Kepler’s planet-hunting glory days may be waning — but we’ve just scratched the surface of what this little telescope has to teach us.

Study Explains Our Failure To Find Intelligent Alien Life: Most Habitable Planets Are Not Yet Born

By Alyssa Navarro, Tech Times

Most habitable planets in the Milky Way galaxy are not yet born, a new study suggests. Scientists believe that this is connected as to why humans have not found intelligent alien life forms yet.
(Photo : NASA/ESA/STScI)

Despite the progress in the development of more advanced technologies, humanity's search for intelligent alien life has yet to be successful. A recent theoretical study suggests that because the Earth was born early into the evolving universe, most habitable planets may not have been born yet.

Planetary scientists collected and analyzed data from NASA's Kepler space observatory and Hubble space telescope. They concluded that when the Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago, only eight percent of livable planets had also most likely formed in the universe. Because of this, 92 percent of planets fit for habitation are most likely still just gas and dust.

Researchers explained that even after our sun burns out in 6 billion years, more planets will still be forming. All these findings are published [pdf] in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The study said that the birth of stars 10 billion years ago had occurred at a fast rate. Back then, the universe's levels of helium and hydrogen were very low. Now, the formation of stars has been slowed down, but there are enough leftover helium and hydrogen for the universe to cook up more planets and stars.

"There is enough remaining material [after the "big bang"] to produce even more planets in the future, in the Milky Way and beyond," said Molly Peeples of Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), co-author of the study.

About 1 billion rocky Earth-sized worlds exist in the Milky Way galaxy, the scientists said. Taking into account the vastness of the observable universe, the number will increase to 100 billion Earth-sized planets.

Meanwhile, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute conducts research and projects that focus on finding intelligent alien life. The institute said that they aim to find answers to the questions that the previous generation has only dared to ask.

Currently, SETI has begun tracking down signs of alien life near the star KIC 8462852 through the Allen Telescope Array (ATA). The ATA is just one of their many technologies.

To fully understand the possibility of searching for signals given off by extraterrestrials, scientists use the famous Drake Equation devised by astronomer Frank Drake. It measures several factors based on the possible number of civilizations in our galaxy alone. However, scientists say that the equation is mostly speculative.

SETI also said that even though some Earth-sized planets have been discovered, probes cannot be sent because of the magnificent distance in light years between our planet and those other planets.

Other-worldly shapes hovering over mountains look like UFOs - but they're something quite different

The spectacular images were taken by Vladimir Voychuk, who focused on Kamchatka's volcanoes in eastern Russia

Otherworldly: Lenticular clouds over Kamchatka's iconic volcanoes

At a glance you could mistake these shapes hovering over mountain tops for UFOs.

But in reality they're actually just clouds.

To be more specific, these incredible pictures show lenticular clouds over Kamchatka's iconic volcanoes in eastern Russia.

The stunning images, formed to align with the wind direction, were taken by 35-year-old photographer from Klin Vladimir Voychuk.

He said: "It's not the first time I've seen clouds like this but it's the first time I've been able to catch it on film.

"My personal favourite is the shot of the two grey clouds forming around the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano - taking that picture took my breath away."

Stunning: The lenticular clouds formed to align with the wind direction

Incredible: This isn't an alien invasion, now it's just the weather

"It's a pretty rare thing to capture on film because the cloud was formed not only by vapour but also the smoke coming out of the active volcano," he continued.

Despite having to travel thousands of miles to get there, Vladimir thinks Kamchata is one of the most spectacular places in the world to photograph.

Bizarre: The clouds often resemble flying saucers hovering in the sky

Spacey: The images could be taken out of a sci-fi movie

He said: "It's probably one of my favourite places to take pictures.

"It takes me a long time to get there but it's always worth it. I don't think there's anywhere in the world that's better."

What will the aliens say to us?

Bright blue space stars background

Photo Credit: iStock

Kicking around near the top of my very long and weird list titled "Things I'm Definitely Gonna Write Someday, I Swear" is a science fiction short story.

Picture this: We have encountered our first alien life form and it's clearly intelligent. We set about feeding each others' languages into computers and finally, come up with a translator program. And once everything is set up, the first thing the aliens say to us is, "Have you heard the good news about Jesus Christ?"

I always imagine the lead scientist as someone who both the plot and appearance make clear is not Christian, like Jeff Goldblum, typing back, "I did hear about that . . . but I wish I'd paid more attention to it."

I can think of an almost infinite number of first statements from aliens that would blow our minds, and the best book on the subject would be one in which every chapter were a different story, with a different first statement. But in real life, to find the alien wisdom, we've first got to find the aliens.

The story idea popped back into my brain last week with the announcement that scientists have discovered a very strange star, with some seemingly unnatural attributes that could suggest a highly intelligent civilization has been hanging out there and building stuff. It's official designation is KIC 8462852 but it's much cuddlier nickname is "Tabby's Star," after Tabetha S. Boyajian, a Yale University postdoctoral student whose team observed it and published a paper about it.

What's special about Tabby's Star is that its pattern of light emission doesn't make sense in any normal way for a star its age and size. It's one of a group of about 150,000 stars that the Kepler Space Telescope stared at for four years. When the Kepler team members realized they couldn't interpret all the data, they created Planet Hunters, a group of humans who look at the sky through telescopes, which Boyajian oversees. It is, to me, amazing and charming that in many ways, humans are still better at looking for certain things in stars and space patterns than any computer program.

What's weird about Tabby's Star, and several Planet Hunters noticed this trait independently of each other, is that the light pattern it emits was interrupted at regular intervals by something that seemed to be orbiting it. And for a variety of reasons that are well-explained in Boyajian's 15-page, deeply brainy paper (age of the star, how gravity fields work, etc.), the light pattern suggests an orbiting clump of matter circling the star that doesn't quite match up with natural phenomena. It looks like it was made, scientists say, on purpose.

And that's one of the things the folks at the Center for SETI Research at the University of California have always thought we should be looking for in the big sky.

So Monday, SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) announced it had begun pointing its dish at Tabby's Star to see whether it emits radio waves, which would suggest intelligence-created communication. If SETI finds those, it'll bring more technology to bear. And this could happen very fast. We could know a lot more in a year about what's happening around Tabby's Star.

Or rather, what was happening on Tabby's Star. You see, it's about 1,500 light-years away, which means we're looking at light emitted right after the Roman Empire wound down.

Which leads us to another idea for a science-fiction story, a sad one I find all too easy to believe: If there were a technologically advanced civilization around Tammy's Star 1,500 years ago, and it was anything at all like us, I find it very hard to believe it's still around.

Final proof aliens exist? Nasa photos show ancient Hieroglyphs carved into rock on Mars

ASA•YouTube

ALIEN hunters claim to have found the historic “final straw” of evidence that extra terrestrial beings exist claiming they have discovered ancient hieroglyphic-like carvings on Mars.

By JON AUSTIN

Is writing on the wall for non alien believers?NASA•YouTube

Is the writing on the wall for non alien believers?

Nasa photographs, taken by the Curiosity Rover, apparently show the writing on a rock.

Footage of Nasa images, taken by its Curiosity Rover, show the writing on a rock, according to and alien researchers and conspiracy theorists who are convinced it proves there was once an ancient civilisation on Mars, much like those on Earth.

They even believe they may have evolved alongside us.

But sceptics argue the so-called discoveries on the images sent back by the rover – a 4WD droid which is exploring the Martian surface – are just textures in rocks.

NASA•YouTube

There are claims this resembles Mayan statues on Earth

They said people are being tricked into seeing familiar objects, such as writing and faces, by pareidolia – a phenomena that causes the brain to interpret what they eye sees in patterns an d textures as familiar things.

On top of this, researchers often manipulate the images, such as in this case, where the ‘writing” has been darkened to bring it out, they said.

One viewer posted on UFOsightings daily after seeing the images, which have been uploaded to YouTube: “If you zoom in on the original you can see the small boxes that appear to be pixels that make up the photograph.

“It appears to be those boxes that are outlined in this picture to make it appear like writing.

“I read an article that talks about how these photographs, when taken from the original version and reformatted to jpegs, end up looking like this with these small boxes.

NASA•YouTube

Stretching it? This “crashed UFO” looks suspiciously like a rock

“It’s difficult to tell if it’s a conversion issue or if it’s simply something someone highlighted in order to create a specific perception.”

The “writing” is the latest in a series of anomalies such as statues, fossils and even “aliens” that UFO hunters claim to have found in the pictures.

Other newer ones include something that it is being suggested is like a Mayan statue, and even remains of buildings and a crashed UFO.

Some people are convinced by them.

Some suggest this could be the foundations of a ruined building

NASA•YouTube

Scott C Waring, editor of UFOsightings daily wrote on his website: “The carvings do look very similar to ancient Egyptian carvings.

“This is a monumental discovery, one that archeologists around the world should be taking a closer look at.

“A written language from another planet, its the final straw that will reveal disclosure. This is what we need to find more of.”

But Nasa says although the rover has found evidence of water flows on the surface of mars – one of the requirements for life to start – there has been no evidence yet of any life being present on the Red Planet.

Ashland Nebraska UFO Abduction, 1967

(Before It's News)

http://spookscentral.com/

In Ashland, Nebraska, on December 3, 1967, Herbert Schirmer, a 22 years young patrolman, was making his usual rounds. He had checked the Ashland Sales Barn, and several gas stations along Highway 6 when he noticed what he thought were red lights on top of a large truck. He had just passed through the intersection of Highways 6 and 63 at about 2:00 AM.

He drove the short distance down 63 and stopped with his headlights shining on the object. According to Schirmer, the object was definitely not a truck. The red lights that he had seen were blinking through the oval portholes of a metallic, oval-shaped object that was hovering at a height of about eight feet above the road’s surface.

The object appeared to have a polished, aluminum surface and had a sort of walk around it. It had a structure underneath, like a landing gear.

As he watched, the object rose into the air with flames coming from underneath. It passed almost directly over Schirmer’s patrol car, then quickly shot out of sight.

Schirmer returned to the police station, noting that it was now 3:00 AM., which surprised him because he felt that only ten minutes had passed. At the station, he made this entry into his logbook:

“Saw a flying saucer at the junction of highways 6 and 63. Believe it or not!”

Afterward, Schirmer developed a red welt on his neck, a headache, and he began to feel ill. Word of Schirmer’s sighting was related to the Condon Commission at the University of Colorado, which investigated UFO reports.

Schirmer was asked to come to Boulder, Colorado. At Boulder, on February 13, 1968, he was hypnotized by psychologist Dr. Leo Sprinkle of the University of Wyoming.

Under hypnosis, Schirmer recalled that, after he stopped his car near the object, the engine died and his radio went silent. A white object emerged from the craft and seemed to communicate mentally with him, preventing him from drawing his gun as he was want to do.

After the hypnotic session had ended, Schirmer was able to recall even more details about the encounter. The beings were friendly, they drew energy from electrical power lines, and they had a base on Venus.

The Condon Committee concluded that: “Evaluation of psychological assessment tests, the lack of any evidence, and interviews with the patrolman, left project staff with no confidence that the trooper’s reported UFO experience was physically real.”

Psychologist Dr. Sprinkle, however, felt that Schirmer “believed in the reality of the events he described.”Herbert Schirmer

Returning to Ashland, Schirmer was appointed Ashland’s Police Chief when Chief Wlaskin resigned. However, he resigned after two months, unable to concentrate on the job due to his UFO experience.

According to Schirmer, he was ridiculed by some of the townspeople, his car was dynamited, and his wife left him.

Further regression hypnosis sessions were conducted on June 8, 1968, by hypnotist Loring G. Williams and the results of those sessions were reported in two books: “Gods, Demons, and Space Chariots” and “Gods and Devils from Outer Space” by Eric Norman.

One odd fact that was brought out was that the aliens wore uniforms with an emblem of a winged serpent on the left breast, similar to the winged serpents that have appeared in mythology around the world.

Wetenschappers TU Delft bewijzen ongelijk Albert Einstein: We leven in een ‘spookachtig’ universum

Wetenschappers van de TU Delft hebben aangetoond dat deeltjes elkaar zelfs op grote afstand direct kunnen beïnvloeden. Daarmee is kwantumverstrengeling bewezen.

De onderzoekers hebben de denkbeelden van Einstein naar eigen zeggen voor eens en voor altijd ontkracht. De resultaten zijn gepubliceerd in vakblad Nature. De Delftse fysici toonden aan dat elektronen in twee diamanten, die door 1,3 kilometer campus van elkaar waren gescheiden, een onzichtbare verbinding kunnen hebben: een soort telepathie.

Eén van de basisprincipes van Einstein is realisme: als je een blauwe knikker ziet, ga je ervan uit dat die knikker al blauw was voordat je ging kijken. Een andere eigenschap is lokaliteit, waarbij dingen niet iets anders kunnen beïnvloeden wat heel ver weg is, zonder dat er tijd tussen zit.
Heilige graal

Dus als er nu iets op Mars gebeurt, zou dat ons hier niet kunnen beïnvloeden. De maximale snelheid waarmee dat kan, is de snelheid van het licht, zo stelde Einstein. Maar de wetenschappers hebben laten zien dat informatie soms sneller gaat dan het licht.

Theoreticus John Stewart Bell bedacht in 1964 een experiment dat zou kunnen aantonen dat spookachtige actie op afstand zoals Einstein het noemde, echt bestond. Dit Bell-experiment geldt binnen de kwantummechanica als heilige graal.
Wereldbeeld van Einstein klopt niet

“De kwantummechanica stelt dat een deeltje zoals een elektron zich in twee verschillende toestanden tegelijk kan bevinden,” zegt hoofdonderzoeker Ronald Hanson. “Het kan zelfs op twee verschillende plaatsen tegelijk zijn, zolang het niet wordt waargenomen. Dit fenomeen heet superpositie. Het gaat volledig tegen onze intuïtie in.”

Volgens de onderzoekers van de TU Delft is definitief bewezen dat Albert Einsteins wereldbeeld niet klopt. De toestand van een deeltje wordt niet bepaald door een verborgen variabele en is dus niet al vooraf vastgelegd. Zelfs op grote afstand kunnen deeltjes invloed uitoefenen op elkaars toestand.

De 5 opmerkelijkste complottheorieën over de ruimtevaart

Er zijn complottheorieën die stellen dat de Verenigde Staten niet echt astronauten naar de maan hebben gestuurd. Volgens deze theorieën hebben de maanlandingen niet daadwerkelijk plaatsgevonden, maar zijn ze door de NASA en de Amerikaanse regering in scène gezet.

Toekomstmakers heeft de vijf opmerkelijkste complottheorieën over de ruimtevaart op een rij gezet.

Komeet 67P

Toen ESA in november vorig jaar landde op komeet 67P, publiceerde de website UFO Sightings Daily een e-mail van een geheime medewerker van de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA. In die mail stond dat de missie onderdeel was van een plan van ESA en NASA om het bestaan van aliens te verbergen. Komeet 67P zou een buitenaards object zijn dat in het verleden communicatiesignalen door de ruimte had gestuurd.

Roswell

Bij Roswell zou in 1947 een ruimteschip een noodlanding hebben gemaakt. De regering zei dat er een weerballon was gecrasht, maar in de jaren zeventig kwamen er verschillende bronnen naar voren die beweerden dat het een ruimteschip was geweest, en dat de Amerikaanse overheid de lichamen van aliens in het geheim naar Area 51 had gebracht.

Mars

Volgens sommigen is er leven op Mars. Op de foto PIA10214, in 2007 gemaakt door Marsjeep Curiosity, zou onder meer een vrouw zijn te zien die over een rotswand leunt. Op andere foto’s zouden gebouwen staan. NASA zei dat het om rotsformaties ging.

Maan

Er zijn mensen die geloven dat de maan een ruimteschip is, gebouwd door aliens of tijdreizende mensen uit de toekomst. Zo is het volgens hen wel heel erg toevallig dat de maan precies op de goede plek staat om de zon compleet te bedekken tijdens een zonsverduistering. Ook zijn sommige kraters volgens hen intern ontstaan, terwijl er op de maan nooit vulkanische activiteit is geweest.

Maanlandingen

Veel mensen twijfelen aan de echtheid van de maanlandingen en geloven dat de beelden in scène zijn gezet. Het bewijs dat ze hiervoor aandragen bestaat onder meer uit de wapperende vlag terwijl er geen wind is op de maan en het feit dat er geen krater ontstond op de plek waar de lander neerkwam. Ook het gebrek aan sterren aan de horizon zou erop wijzen dat de landingen in een filmstudio zijn opgenomen.

Glowing Red UFO Over Beach Surprises Spectators In Florida, Sept 26, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Sept 26, 2015
Location of sighting: Panama City beach, Florida, USA

This looks very similar to the two red UFOs seen over Vero Beach that I reported on Sept 26, 2015. I will put that video below for you to compare. It looks like there is an underwater base around the Florida coast line. Although the beaches are far apart, there are a lot of similarities.

Eyewitness states:
UFO PANAMA CITY BEACH 9/26/2015. I would love to have this analysed because this was truly the weirdest thing l ever encountered. It was a very cloudy night. No stars. No noise. Towards the end it started disappearing and reappearing. What l can't see on this video, is when it really disappeared, purple light beamed from the clouds above it. I have still pics of it that l took before filming. The light emitted from it changed colors and was brighter than a regular light. The light resembled lasers or neon, however it was so bright, it seemed unreal. It was less than a mile away...l was on the 17th floor of an ocean front condo balcony. You can hear the people on the beach reacting to it...Let me know what you think. I have not believed in in aliens.

This type of UFO is frequently seen around the world. I recently reported this UFO over two different beaches in Florida last week. Also, I myself recorded such a UFO a few years back during the summer.

Here he not only sees the UFO, but gets to see it moving. The sky is very cloudy and even the moon is blocked out at the end of the video, but not this UFO, which means its below the clouds, not behind the clouds.

Squid-Shaped UFO Makes A Return After Its First Appearance In 1991

An incredible moment of a mysterious object is apparently recorded on video for the second time around in a UFO hotspot area.

The captivating video shows a UFO that looks like a squid, which reportedly returns to the same spot after 24 years.

Amado Marquez claimed to have captured the bizarre object for the first time flying above his house in Mexico in 1991.

On September 11, 2015, he claimed to have recorded on video the same UFO. According to the Journal De Montreal report, the city officials can’t identify the object.

Amado resides in Tepoztlán area, where UFO sightings are the usual things in the sky. The municipality is located in the State of Morelos, a mountainous area. Many residents have come forward to report unidentified flying machines, particularly above the Tepoztlan Valley.

UFO enthusiasts and tourists, who want to see a UFO personally, flock to the area. The mysterious phenomena help the place become a tourist destination.

Some locals in the region believe that aliens have been making landings in this area. On May 5, 2015, Amado claimed he also filmed a bell-shaped flying object moving in the sky at low altitude above the hill.

Unidentified flying object over Melbourne, Australia 14-Oct-2015

Here’s one interesting footage of a huge bright object flying across the sky above Melbourne in Australia. This was filmed on 14th October 2015.

Witness report: Just seconds before this sighting, Peter Maxwell Slattery saw what sort of looked like a kite, fly by the side of his house, as he investigated, he could not see it, but when going back to his backyard he saw what you see in this video. About half way into the footage Pete leaves the camera on a tripod pointing at the object, so you can see that this object is moving as he is not touching the camera until just before the footage stops, at which time it is going out of view, next this thing disappeared.

Researchers confirm: The Largest Pyramid in Mexico has been found

Researchers discover immense pyramid in Mexico, larger than Teotihuacan’s Pyramid of the Sun.

Researchers in Mexico have discovered a Pyramid that, according to initial measurements, is larger than the Great Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan. Initial excavations were done in 2010.

The Pyramid, 75 meters in height, was explored by specialists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) on the acropolis of Tonina, Chiapas, estimated to be around 1700 years old.

Emiliano Gallaga, director of the archaeological zone, explained that work has been done in the last two years, and by means of a “three-dimensional, researchers verified that in the northeastern part of the site, stands one of the largest construction in Mesoamerica, comparable in size only to great Mayan cities like Tikal and El Mirador in Guatemala.

Researchers confirm: The Largest Pyramid in Mexico has been found

Another features which makes this “unique” pre-hispanic structure stand out are the seven platforms which integrate it and were specific spaces intended to serve as palaces, temples, housing and administrative units. It is a unique structure for various specific functions within the social, political, economic and religious structure, which is not repeated in any other archaeological site of the Mayan world stated researchers from INAH.

“It’s a big surprise to see that the pyramid was done almost entirely by pre-Hispanic architects and therefore is more artificial than natural. “This is because it was believed that the entire structure was a natural hill, but recent evidence has revealed that the structure was almost entirely built by ancient inhabitants.

Archaeologists added that the pyramid is bigger than we had anticipated. The structure is connected by roads located on top of surrounding elevations.

Gallaga added that, after all of the information, we can confirm that this pyramid exceeds in height the pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan which measures 65 meters. INAH researchers have determined that the city center had an architectural continuity between 10 and 12 hectares, which is the double of what was previously thought and mainly corresponds to the south facade of the Acropolis, one of the most important Mayan areas known to researchers.

Scientists at Large Hadron Collider. Contact with Parallel Universe in Days

SCIENTISTS conducting a mindbending experiment at the Large Hadron Collider next week hope to connect with a PARALLEL UNIVERSE outside of our own.

Large Hadron Collider

Collision course: Large Hadron Collider could discover parallel universe

The staggeringly complex LHC ‘atom smasher’ at the CERN centre in Geneva, Switzerland, will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid to detect – or even create – miniature black holes.

If successful a completely new universe will be revealed – rewriting not only the physics books but the philosophy books too.

It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe, scientists at the LHC say.

The experiment is sure to inflame alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle collider would spell the end of our universe with the creation a black hole of its own.

But so far Geneva remains intact and comfortably outside the event horizon.

Indeed the LHC has been spectacularly successful. First scientists proved the existence of the elusive Higgs boson ‘God particle’ – a key building block of the universe – and it is seemingly well on the way to nailing ‘dark matter’ – a previously undetectable theoretical possibility that is now thought to make up the majority of matter in the universe.

But next week’s experiment is considered to be a game changer.

Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.

“We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC.

“Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised.

“This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.

“This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.

Image of protons colliding at LHC

Atom art: An image of two protons smashed together at the LHC

“As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC.

“We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity’s rainbow’ [a new scientific theory].

“If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity’s rainbow and extra dimensions are correct.”

When the LHC is fired up the energy is measured in Tera electron volts – a TeV is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, electron Volts

So far, the LHC has searched for mini black holes at energy levels below 5.3 TeV.

But the latest study says this is too low.

Instead, the model predicts that black holes may form at energy levels of at least 9.5 TeV in six dimensions and 11.9 TeV in 10 dimensions.

Is there more than one of you out there, somewhere?

In a fascinating piece over at Medium, astrophysicist Ethan Siegal waxes mathematical, cosmological, and philosophical on multiverse theory, and its implications for all the iterations of you that may or may not exist:

…would it be possible that there’s a Universe out there where everything happened exactly as it did in this one, except you did one tiny thing different, and hence had your life turn out incredibly different as a result?

It’s an incredible notion: that there’s a Universe out there for every outcome that’s conceivable. There’s one where everything with a non-zero probability of having happened is actually the reality in that Universe.

But there are an awful lot of ifs that are mandatory to get there. For one, the inflationary state must have happened for not just a long amount of time — not just for the 13.8 billion years that our Universe has been around — but for an infinite amount of time.

Why is that, you ask? Surely, if the Universe has been expanding exponentially — not just for a tiny fraction of a second but for 13.8 billion years, or around 4 × 10^17 seconds — we’re talking about a tremendous volume of space! After all, even though there are regions of space where inflation ends, most of the volume of the Universe is dominated by regions where it hasn’t ended.

So realistically, we’re talking about at least 10^10^50 Universes that started off with initial conditions that might be very similar to our own. That’s 10^100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Universes, which might be one of the biggest numbers you’ve ever imagined. And yet, there are numbers that are bigger that describe how many possible outcomes there are for particle interactions.

There are 10^90 particles in each Universe, and we need for all of them to have the exact same history of interactions for 13.8 billion years to give us a Universe identical to our own, so that when we choose one path over another, both Universes still wind up existing. For a Universe with 10^90 quantum particles in it, that’s asking an awful lot — for fewer than 10^10^50 possibilities to exist for how those particles will interact with one another over 13.8 billion years. The number you see above, for instance, is just 1000! (or (10^3)!), or 1000 factorial, which describes the number of possible permutations there are for 1000 different particles to be ordered at any instant in time. Consider, mind you, how much bigger this number is — (10^3)! — than (10^1000) is.

(10^3)!, for those of you wondering, is more like 10^2477.

But there are not 1000 particles in the Universe, but 10^90 of them. Every time two particles interact, there’s not just one possible outcome, but an entire quantum spectrum of outcomes. As sad as the case is, there are way more than (10^90)! possible outcomes for the particles in the Universe, and that number is many googolplexes times larger than a paltry number like 10^10^50.

In other words, the number of possible outcomes from particles in any Universe interacting with one another tends towards infinity faster than the number of possible Universes increases due to inflation.

Even setting aside issues that there may be an infinite number of possible values for fundamental constants, particles and interactions, and even setting aside interpretation issues such as whether the many-worlds-interpretation actually describes our physical reality, the fact of the matter is that the number of possible outcomes rises so quickly — so much fasterthan merely exponentially — that unless inflation has been occurring for a truly infinite amount of time, there are no parallel Universes identical to this one.

The Mandela Effect: More Proof of Parallel Universes?

As a follow -up to my post on the Berenst#in Bears problem, I thought this was worth sharing.

Yesterday, I found myself over at the subreddit r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix. And, wouldn’t you know it, the top post over there is about something called the Mandela Effect. This is the apparent name for phenomena like the Berenst#in Bears problem, in which we remember something contrary to reality.

Exploring it further, I found that the name, coined by Fiona Broome, stems from the absurd number of people who seem to “remember” that Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 1980s, and not at his home in Johannesburg in 2013. In fact, there’s even a subreddit dedicated to this kind of stuff at r/MandelaEffect, and you can read Broome’s own website on the subject at MandelaEffect.com.

Other examples of this “effect” include a portrait missing from this universe of Henry VIII, in which he’s holding a turkey leg, New Zealand being in a different location, and perhaps strangest of all, the color Chartreuse being “something other than yellow-green.” You can check out Broome’s full list of anomalies here.

Alternate Time Streams or False Memories?

However, the problem with something like the Mandela Effect is this: just because you hear something or even see something, that doesn’t mean it’s true.

Sometimes we read something incorrectly, or experience false memories. Sometimes we’re told something, even (well, especially) by the news media, that’s incorrect. We assume it’s true, because why not, and go about our business.

Then, when we later find out that Nelson Mandela has only recently died, or New Zealand is in a different location on the map, or that the Berenstein Bears are actually the Berenstain Bears, this information clashes with what we thought we knew. And if enough people are misinformed about the same topic, I imagine that’s when we run into the so-called Mandela Effect.

In other words, that’s a roundabout way of saying sometimes we’re wrong.
But that’s a boring way to look at things, isn’t it? As I said before, this is an interesting phenomenon, regardless of whether you want to ascribe it to parallel universes or false memories. The brain is a tricky thing, and the universe is trickier. Head over to Mandela Effect, explore the possibilities, and draw your own conclusions.

Do you have any memories that don’t quite mesh with our current reality?

Carl Sagan: Cosmos, Pale Blue Dot & Famous Quotes

Called "America's most effective salesman of science" by Time magazine, astronomer Carl Sagan spent much of his career translating technical scientific explanations to make them easily digestible by the general public. Described as a natural teacher, he educated not only through classroom lectures but also through interviews and on television shows. His 13-part TV series, “Cosmos,” has been seen by over 600 million people in more than 60 countries. The show was so popular it returned to television in 2005.

Life on the Pale Blue Dot

Carl Edward Sagan was born Nov. 9, 1934 in Brooklyn, New York. He attended college at the University of Chicago, where he attained a Ph.D. in astronomy and astrophysics. After doing his postdoctoral work, he taught at Harvard. When he wasn't granted tenure, he moved on to Cornell University in New York, serving as the director for the Laboratory for Planetary Studies and the Associate Director of the Center for Radio Physics and Space Research.

He was married three times, and had a total of five children.

Diagnosed with the rare bone marrow disease myelodysplasia, Sagan underwent three bone marrow transplants over the course of his life. Complications from the disease resulted in his contracting pneumonia, which led to his death on Dec. 20, 1996. He was 62 years old.

Making science interesting

Although Sagan was most widely known for his scientific communication with the general public, he made many significant contributions to the field of science directly.

While Sagan attended graduate school, the planet Venus was often considered to be similar to Earth. As part of his thesis, Sagan computed the first greenhouse model for Venus' atmosphere, which revealed a higher temperature than previously suspected. He suggested that the seasonal changes observed on Mars was caused by dust storms on the planet, and wrote a series of papers on the organic chemistry of Jupiter's atmosphere.

Serving as an advisor to NASA, Sagan helped to design and manage the Mariner 2 mission to Venus, the Mariner 9 and Viking trips to Mars, the Voyager system to the outer solar system, and the Galileo mission to Jupiter. He also helped to brief astronauts prior to their trips to the moon.

But Sagan was far more visible as a scientific educator than he was as a researcher. He was gifted at breaking down scientific concepts into explanations that the public could readily understand, without seeming to talk down to them. He authored hundreds of popular articles and more than two dozen books, frequently appeared in Time magazine — landing the cover on at least one occasion. And was a guest on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson 26 times, calling it "the biggest classroom in history." His 13-hour miniseries, Cosmos, was loved by countless children and adults, and his nonfiction and fiction books were widely read.

Sagan helped lay the groundwork for two new scientific disciplines in the course of his lifetime: planetary science and exobiology. He was the first president and one of the founders of The Planetary Society, an organization dedicated to inspiring and involving the public in space exploration. He promoted the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), where he served as a trustee.

Describing him in October of 1980, Time magazine wrote, "Sagan sends out an exuberant message: science is not only vital for humanity's future well being, but it is rousing good fun as well."

Sagan’s books and TV episodes

In 1977, Sagan began work on the television series “Cosmos: A Personal Voyage,” serving as writer and presenter. The show aired on the Public Broadcasting Service in October of 1980 and was the most widely watched series on American public television for nearly a decade. The show won an Emmy and a Peabody award and was broadcast around the world. The accompanying book of the same name was on the New York Times best seller list for 70 weeks, and was the best-selling science book ever published in the English language.

This narrow-angle color image of the Earth s a part of the first ever "portrait" of the solar system taken by Voyager 1. The spacecraft acquired a total of 60 frames for a mosaic of the solar system from a distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic.

At Sagan’s request, NASA commanded its Voyager 1 spacecraft to turn its camera on Earth, creating an image that came to be known as the Pale Blue Dot, one of the most famous pictures of Earth from space ever taken. Sagan used that name as the title of a book. The sequel to “Cosmos,” “The Pale Blue Dot,” toured the solar system and the galaxy, arguing for the necessity of planetary science and the exploration of Earth's closest neighbors. It, too, was widely and well received by the general public.

An earlier nonfiction book by Sagan, “The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence,” focused on the evolution of human intelligence. It received the 1978 Pulitzer Prize.

Although the majority of Sagan's work was nonfiction, he also used fiction to present scientific principles when he published the fiction novel “Contact” in 1985. Based on interactions between the human race and an advanced species of extraterrestrials, the novel sold over a million copies in its first two years of publication. In 1997, it was released as a movie starring Jodi Foster.

Carl Sagan quotes

Advances in medicine and agriculture have saved vastly more lives than have been lost in all the wars in history.
—The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark (1997), 11.

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes—an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense.
—The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark (1997), 304.

Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact.
—Psychology Today (Jan 1996).

For myself, I like a universe that, includes much that is unknown and, at the same time, much that is knowable. A universe in which everything is known would be static and dull, as boring as the heaven of some weak-minded theologians. A universe that is unknowable is no fit place for a thinking being. The ideal universe for us is one very much like the universe we inhabit. And I would guess that this is not really much of a coincidence.
—'Can We know the Universe?' in M. Gardner (ed.), The Sacred Beetle and Other Great Essays in Science (1985), 109.

In a lot of scientists, the ratio of wonder to skepticism declines in time. That may be connected with the fact that in some fields—mathematics, physics, some others—the great discoveries are almost entirely made by youngsters.
—Psychology Today (Jan 1996).

It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works—that white light is made of colors, that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason that the sunset is red? It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it.
— Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space (1994), 159

It is the responsibility of scientists never to suppress knowledge, no matter how awkward that knowledge is, no matter how it may bother those in power; we are not smart enough to decide which pieces of knowledge are permissible, and which are not. …
—Lily Splane, Quantum Consciousness (2004), 80.

It is the tension between creativity and skepticism that has produced the stunning and unexpected findings of science.
—Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science (1974, 1986), 73.

Our passion for learning ... is our tool for survival.
—Cosmos (1980, 1985), 230-231

The cure for a fallacious argument is a better argument, not the suppression of ideas.
—The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark (1997), 429

The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the clown.
— Carl Sagan, In Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science (1980), 34.

Plusieurs étranges ovnis aperçus en Californie

by JEAN-MAXIME BOURGOIN

Dans la nuit du 16 octobre dernier, à Bakersfield, en Californie, plusieurs Américains auraient vu un étrange rassemblement d’ovnis dans le ciel, rapporte le ufosightingsdaily.com.

L’un des témoins raconte que son voisin était dans la rue et criait son nom, visiblement en état de détresse. Il croyait d’abord qu’il avait besoin d’aide, mais en sortant de chez lui, il a tout de suite aperçu plusieurs lumières bizarres dans le ciel.

Selon lui, il y avait une centaine de vives lumières blanches et bleues se déplaçant sur une surface équivalant à 45 pâtés de maison.

«Quelques voitures se sont immobilisées en bordure de la route pour regarder ce que nous observions. Plusieurs voisins sont sortis et ont regardé la scène en état de choc. Nous étions tous là, incrédules, à regarder la formation. Ils se sont éloignés, puis ont disparu», a raconté le témoin au site dédié aux observations d’ovnis.

Le principal témoin a pris trois photos de l’étrange événement, mais une seule était suffisamment claire pour être en mesure de l’agrandir.

L’an dernier, un phénomène semblable a été observé dans le ciel de la Californie.

Le dailygrail.com a mis en ligne une carte interactive, basée sur 61 000 rapports en sol américain, illustrant le nombre d’observations d’ovnis par habitant aux États-Unis. Curieusement, les ovnis seraient plus présents sur la côte ouest américaine.

*************************************

Remarque:

« Il doit y avoir un certain nombre de méprises parmi ces observations.

Le nombre d’observations reste tout de même conséquent, et tout ne doit pas être des méprises ou des farces.

Pouvons nous parler de vague?

Ce rapport est intéressant car , il détermine un secteur géographique plus défini sur les incursions inexpliquées concernant les états-unis.

Par ailleurs,notre contact au Québec Yann du GARPAN nous signale également un nombre élevé d’observations notamment au Québec et en France, mais d’autres pays aussi. Nous collaborons afin de travailler ensemble sur ces informations.

La question est de savoir parmi ces observations, la fréquence réelle cette année, de cas que nous pouvons qualifiés d’inexpliqués, insolites.

Pouvons nous parler de vague comme ce fut le cas dans les années 1950 puis 1980/1990?

Peut-être avons nous des vagues sur une décennie concernant de possibles incursions non-identifiables? Alors, aurions nous des tests périodiques, ou des visites sporadiques hasardeuses ? «

John Podesta: Pulling Back the Curtain on UFOs

Anadolu Agency via Getty Images

by Leslie Kean

co-authored with Ralph Blumenthal

It was the tweet heard round the worlds. On John Podesta's last day at the White House on February 13th, the longtime Presidential counselor, who is likely to chair a 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, dashed off a confession that lit the blogosphere with thousands of retweets and comments: "Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files."

Along with the media, which couldn't resist a spoof by late-night comedian Jimmy Fallon, conspiracy theorists are having a field day. Taking Podesta's barb as confirmation of fantastic coverups by operatives with knowledge of extraterrestrials and twisted political agendas, they imagine Podesta himself holds devastating secrets. Some are claiming with bravado that their own activism is what prompted his recent lighthearted remark.

The facts hardly bear that out.

Actually, as surprising as the tweet was, Podesta's position on the controversial issue was not exactly news. A staunch proponent of open government, he has previously called for the release of any government files on unidentified flying objects, or more broadly, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), that merit such action under existing law. As Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton, Podesta pressed for Executive Order 12958 which declassified broad categories of information formerly withheld on the grounds of national security.

In 2002, Podesta began publicly supporting what became a landmark Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by the Coalition for Freedom of Information, an independent advocacy group. NASA had been stonewalling and refusing to release its records concerning a significant 1965 UFO incident in Kecksburg, PA. Many witnesses described seeing a fireball in the evening sky, followed by a controlled landing and the systematic military recovery of a spacecraft-like object, rushed away on the back of a flatbed truck. As reported by local radio and newspapers, U.S. military personnel cordoned off the area, investigated the site, and left without ever providing a full report of the incident other than to dismiss it as a meteor.

During the lawsuit's final hearing in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in 2007, the exasperated Presiding Judge, Emmet G. Sullivan, declared that "heads should roll" at NASA and that NASA's case was a "ball of yarn." He approved a settlement that required NASA to comb through hundreds of documents in specified locations, and provide them to journalist and plaintiff Leslie Kean, under the watchful eye of the court.

Success at forcing an agency to do this kind of extensive historical search under FOIA without Congressional intervention was unprecedented. Podesta called the victory "a triumph for open government and the spirit of inquiry."

But - there was one problem. The resulting documents did not include one iota of information relating to the Kecksburg case, despite an earnest and thorough effort by NASA staff. Three hundred boxes were searched, on top of the hundreds of pages released during the court proceedings prior to the settlement. Yet they revealed nothing about the case at hand.

Could these be the "UFO files" that Podesta was alluding to in his tweet? Might there be others as well, stored in locations inaccessible to the FOIA in violation of the law?

Podesta has been a brave voice for sanity and objectivity on a subject that is generally considered unworthy of serious discussion. In a foreword for Kean's 2010 book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record, Podesta wrote: "The time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue." Describing himself as "a curious skeptic" who understands the difference between fact and fiction, he said the American people "want to know, and they can handle the truth."

Official investigations around the world have consistently found that a small but significant percentage of sightings defy conventional explanation, most of them involving police officers, military personnel, pilots and air traffic controllers. Physical evidence such as radar returns, measurable effects on the environment, or scientifically analyzed photographs accompany the best cases.

In 2011, Podesta hosted a private meeting of government officials, scientists, and military and intelligence experts, organized by Kean and her coalition, at his liberal think tank, the Center for American Progress. A panel presented expert briefings backing the establishment of a modest official project to evaluate UAP in cooperation with other countries.

"The official position of the U.S., which has denied the existence of any abnormal aerial phenomena since 1969, is a weighty handicap and has a negative influence on the attitude of many governments," wrote Yves Sillard, former Director General of the French National Space Center, in his briefing paper. "If this position could be modified, the U.S. would probably play a leading role in this necessary international effort."

Ricardo Bermúdez, a retired Air Force general who directs the Chilean investigative effort, agrees. "United States participation would be beneficial for all countries," he stated.

A U.S. agency is long overdue. The Air Force's official investigation, Project Blue Book, was terminated in 1970 after two decades, since no sightings were determined to pose a national security threat. Yet over 700 cases remained unexplained. Since then, no branch of the government has investigated UAP.

This lack of both transparency and responsive action to alarming UFO incidents undermines public trust. Some unidentified objects may be attributable to foreign military aircraft or drones, and should be of general defense interest. Other phenomena display such unusual characteristics that they are of broader scientific interest. Under certain circumstances, UAP can even raise air safety concerns. Still, the FAA discourages pilots from reporting any such incidents, in stark contrast to policy in Europe and South America.

Official agencies in France and Chile, along with other South American countries, conduct rigorous, open UAP investigations. In 2014, the heads of these offices met in Paris for the first time, to begin a cooperative venture. The U.K. spent decades collecting data, but closed down its office in 2008 due to the overwhelming stream of Freedom of Information requests besieging the staff. Interest was so great that the Ministry of Defense decided to simply release all its documents online.

Xavier Passot, director of the French UAP agency GEIPAN, and Ricardo Bermúdez of Chile's CEFAA met on Oct. 30, 2014 to initiate a cooperative effort (Credit: courtesy CEFAA)

Yet here at home, a 2012 poll showed that nearly 80% of Americans believe the government has concealed information about UFOs. As a result, frustrated citizens turn to fringe conspiracists seeking some way of understanding our irrational denial of this very real phenomenon.

When UFO events occur here, civilian groups do the best they can in battling the obstacles to investigating them. At Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Nov. 7, 2006, a metallic disc was observed hovering over the United Airlines terminal for at least five minutes, before shooting straight up in the sky, at great speed, cutting a hole in the cloud bank. This was not a flying machine known to any of the aviation experts who witnessed or later analyzed the event.

On March 13, 1997, hundreds if not thousands of citizens, including the governor at the time, saw massive delta-shaped objects gliding silently over Arizona. Like the Kecksburg case, this event has never been explained despite a class action lawsuit filed in 2000 by witnesses in Phoenix. A court-ordered search for information was issued to the Department of Defense, but once again, no pertinent records were obtained.

Nonetheless, much more data on UFOs has been accumulated than ever before, and files have been released around the world. The phenomenon's physical reality is now firmly established. But its nature and origin remain a problem. Meanwhile, astronomers have reported that there could be as many as 40 billion habitable Earth-size planets in our galaxy; one out of every five sunlike stars has a planet the size of Earth orbiting it in the Goldilocks zone.

We need to join the other countries taking responsible action in addressing this persistent mystery, preferably at the White House level where The Office of Science and Technology Policy is well positioned to take on this task. John Podesta supports the effort to appoint a government staffer for this purpose - and that is no surprise.

First China: Now 'parallel universe floating city' appears over seaside at HASTINGS

AFTER reports of a city in the sky appearing to thousands of people in China, residents in sleepy Hastings have reported seeing a similar apparition.

Video footage of what look like shadowy skyscrapers forming in clouds above Foshan in China have gone viral online after Express.co.uk reported the bizarre event.

Now a picture of a similar looking mirage in the sky taken at the coastal town in southern England have been posted on Facebook.

The weird formation is much further away in the Hastings scene, but a similar skycap can be made out.

One was taken by resident Natasha Marie’s mother-in-law, who was snapping coastal scenes during sunset.

However, the sky city was later seen forming in the distance, with much speculation about what the alien object could be.

One person who saw the pictures from both sides of the globe said: "This is crazy, what is going on? Is it the same city? Is this some sort of sign?"

But more level-headed people see them as coincidental optical illusions.

Earlier, Chinese TV news reports told how thousands of residents in TWO areas reported separately seeing a huge city form in the skies.

The Hastings

First thousands reportedly saw a ghostly alien city floating over Foshan in the Guangdong province of China.

A few days later people in the province of Jiangxi, China, also reported seeing a similar cloud city.

Weather experts have explained all these phenomena as natural mirages, an optical illusion called Fata Morgana.

Fata Morgana can be seen on land or sea and involves the optical distortion and inversion of distant objects such as boats, which can appears as skyscrapers because the images become stacked, when rays of light bend as they pass through air of different temperatures such as in a heat haze.

But the mystery did not stop sending conspiracy theorists into over drive, with claims of anything from an alien city briefly appearing through a wormhole to another dimension, a santanic symbol of impending doom, or a secret government hologram project to test how the public would react to a major paranormal event.

The Paranormal Crucible YouTube channel said in a video of the Chinese events it could be: "A temporal vortex, or a possible parallel universe materialising briefly into our own reality.

"It is also possible, considering China's technological achievements that a top secret holographic technology was tested over a heavily populated area in an effort to gauge the public reaction

Justin Trudeau’s ‘alien crystal’: Canada staging executive psychonaut contact with ETs

Vancouver, BC – Exclusive new video published to YouTube on October 20, 2015, reveals a startling secret message from prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau. The leader whose Liberal party won the Canadian federal election spoke with CBC television earlier this week to discuss what changes Canadians could expect when he takes office. Sleep-talking like secret messages decrypted from his comments envision Canada as an “alien crystal embassy for lovely pot.” Through such a seemingly involuntary mission statement Canada appears poised to emerge as an international staging point for executive psychonauts in telepathic diplomacy with extraterrestrials under the new government.

The cannabis plant via unconscious disclosure appears in the role of an ambassador offering access to psychic resources from other dimensions and civilizations. NewsInsideOut.com has profiled the precognitive dreams of videographer Les Murzsa describing how they inform his strategic planning for deploying cameras before sightings begin. The NewsIO Plus mini-documentary “Journey to Inner Space 2015” discussed the ajna chakra yantra, the visualization of the Om mantra, the archaic symbol of the clairvoyant third eye in terms of characteristics that define it as the “original flying saucer.”

An intelligence assessment of the CBC interview with Justin Trudeau soundtrack utilized a mirror filter to digitally reflect the prime minister-designate’s speech signal in order to detect unconscious communications. Like the mirror on a reflector telescope, such impressions offer provably accurate insight into a streaming subtext of sleep talking-like comments from inner space.

NewsInsideOut.com has previously reported how the same procedure publicly revealed details of the Iraq War, identified the BTK Killer, named Russian spy Anna Chapman’s accomplice and uncovered the UFOs and ETs in Edward Snowden’s NSA cache weeks, months and years before such information became widely-accepted public knowledge. Below is a partial transcript of Canadian prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau’s remarks on his vision of government as reported by CBC on October 16, 2015, followed by the secret message encrypted backwards therein.

JUSTIN TRUDEAU: A government that’s focused on Canadians. A government that’s answering questions, that’s talking about the things that matter to Canadians and actually acting on them. Government that’s open to discussion and debate and a government that is focused on the long term and not the electorial interests of the immediate.”

SECRET MESSSAGE: Canada’s an alien crystal embassy for lovely pot.

Hair-like trichomes containing TCH (a principal psychoactive ingredient) cover the cannabis plant cited in widespread subculture references to their crystalline appearance. Supposed extraterrestrial (or psychic ET contact-related) characteristics of this herb are explored in pop culture including the film “Star Leaf” (2015). Immediate work towards the legalization of cannabis in Canada upon election was announced by Justin Trudeau earlier this month.

The New York Times this week profiled Canada’s to-be second-youngest prime minister as someone prone to verbal slips, stating “Although Mr. Trudeau has been prone to occasional verbal slips since assuming his leadership role, including the use of a vulgar metaphor in response to Mr. Harper’s decision to commit Royal Canadian Air Force fighters to the multinational campaign against the Islamic State, he has grown in stature over the course of the election.”

According to the New Yorker, that lewd comparison arose in response “to the proposed escalation of Canada’s involvement in the bombing campaign against ISIS,” where the Liberal leader “accused Harper of “trying to whip out our CF-18s and show them how big they are.””

In a world where science at CERN has confirmed the fundamental mirror symmetry of nature, NewsInsideOut.com captures Justin Trudeau in a moment of involuntary disclosure offering a vision that parallels online satire depicting THC from outer space. In an article from earlier this year titled “Meteorite Fragment Contains Trace Amounts of THC, Claims NASA Expert” fictional astrophysicist “James Han of the University of Hawaii” was satirically portrayed stating “It also gives a whole new meaning to the term getting high.”

Blue UFO sighting over Sandy, Utah on 20th September 2015

New interesting video footage of a Blue UFO sighting recorded over Sandy, Utah on 20th September 2015.

Poster said:
Unedited witness statement: At approximately 2130 hours, Sunday night, September 20. 2015 I observed an object in the sky that was not moving at all. It appeared very far in the distant sky and had a blue glow color. I went inside and got my camera, and began to take pictures, having to zoom in to get the pictures. As I began to take pictures it began to move across the sky. I heard no noise, or saw no trail. It was a mostly a cloud-less night, and I saw other stars in the sky, and this was definitely different than a star as it appeared blue rather than white like a star. My family and I watched it for about 15 minutes, and then I went inside to put the pictures on my computer. A few minutes later I went back outside, and the object was directly over-head our house, high in the sky. It then move to the north-west sky, and disappeared. I couldn’t locate it again. I was able to get some still pictures and a video.

En été 2015, Airbus déposait le brevet d’un « Concorde 2 ». Les propriétés de ce qui n’est pour l’instant qu’un concept ont été dévoilées. Il pourrait rallier Paris à New York en à peine plus d’une heure.

Trop gourmand en carburant, marqué par plusieurs incidents graves (dont le crash sur la commune de Gonesse), le Concorde a volé pour la dernière fois en juin 2003. Pourtant, douz ans plus tard, cet avion figure parmi les légendes de l’aéronautique et reste l’un des chouchous du grand public. L’été dernier, Airbus a déposé le brevet d’un nouvel avionbaptisé « Concorde 2 ». De quoi réveiller l’enthousiasme des passionnés. Sur les croquis présentés par l’avionneur, le Concorde 2 n’a plus grand chose à voir avec son prédécesseur : terminé le nez basculant et l’allure effilée, le nouveau Condorde ressemble davantage à une petite navette spatiale. Il conserve ses ailes delta caractéristiques et est propulsé par trois types de moteurs différents. Deux turbojets lui permettant de décoller à la verticale, un moteur-fusée pour le propulser et une fois son « altitude de croisière » atteinte (jusqu’à 35 000 mètres), des ramjets pour prendre le relais. Ce vol en hyperbole permettra d’atténuer le bruit au moment du passage du ou des murs du son. Ces trois types de moteur lui permettront d’atteindre la vitesse exceptionnelle de 5 500 km/h, soit Mach 4,5, près du double du premier Concorde. De quoi accomplir un Paris – New York en à peine plus d’une heure !

Le Concorde 2 ne pourra accueillir que 20 passagers contrairement à la première version qui pouvait en accueillir jusqu’à 90. D’après les brevets, Airbus envisage une utilisation commerciale mais également militaire du nouvel avion. Les passagers de ce Concorde 2 seront, comme pour le premier Concorde, des touristes d’affaires qui pourront se rendre de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique… le temps d’un petit déjeuner et revenir dans la même journée sans être incommodés par les décalages horaires. Le Concorde et le Tupolev Tu-144 (retiré en 1999) ont été les deux seuls avions supersoniques civils. Evidemment, aucune date de sortie ou d’exploitation n’est encore annoncée.

Abduction Coverup! MJ-12 and Tau-9’s Extraterrestrial Time Travel Scandal

Majestic 12 (MJ-12) is the code name of a secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed in 1947 by an executive order by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to facilitate recovery and investigation of alien spacecraft after the Roswell, NM UFO incident.
When President Truman was informed about the crash, he authorized Defense Secretary James Forrestal to set up a committee to investigate and deal with the situation. In 1952, when Dwight Eisenhower became President-elect, he was briefed on Operation Majestic-12. The briefing paper listed a 12-man committee and gave details of the UFO crash in Roswell. The final paragraph stressed the need to ‘avoid public panic at all costs’, confirming that the government was covering up the truth about UFOs.

In 1954, in conjunction with the US military, a ship landed to recover the deceased aliens from the Roswell crash. These ET’s made a pact that assumedly still stands today.
According to the work of Dan Burisch, a treaty was created by a group of beings who stated they time traveled from 45,000 years into the future AND 52,000 years into the future in order to obtain our DNA due to a cataclysm on Earth that wiped out most of humanity. Because they were living in underground bases at the time, only some of these people survived. This treaty is known as TAU-9 and involves the exchange of advanced technology for a limited amount of abductions. As part of their agreement, any abducted person would have amnesia and would not remember any part of the abduction or being aboard any spaceship. Terms of this agreement were set to be renewed every 9 years and has been ongoing since 1958.
Because of his involvement and concern for where America was heading, President Eisenhower warned the world of the power of the military industrial complex in his exiting speech in 1961:

It is estimated that there are at least 200 deep underground bases (DUMBs) throughout the world.

According to Phil Schneider, one of these DUMBs is located in UFO hotspot, Dulce, New Mexico.

Because these bases are so secretive and information about them is hidden from the public, it is assumed that they are created for nefarious reasons, including the preservation of those who have kept us enslaved for thousands of years. Supposition has inferred that once underground, the female menstrual cycle becomes irregular and reproduction would drop off significantly. Additionally, many of these people who have been assured underground base privileges come from similar bloodlines, which would be genetically deficient through inbreeding amongst themselves.
If these are they types of beings who returned from the future to harvest our DNA, then do you really think they are benevolent people? I seriously doubt it. Chances are, THEY were the ones who were responsible for whatever cataclysm that became their demise somewhere in the future and are turning to humanity as we know it today to bail them out.
