The Most Commonly Reported Extraterrestrials By Contactees, Abductees & Experiencers

The Most Commonly Reported Extraterrestrials By Contactees, Abductees & Experiencers

blue avian

“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Et’s, etc…They are visiting Earth now; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking. – Theodor C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire (source)

The topic of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), alongside the extraterrestrial hypothesis being one of multiple explanations for their appearance (which seems to  be quite a common phenomenon), is an area of interest for many people that’s continually growing, and for good reasons. This is in large part due to the fact that we now have hundreds of credible witnesses that have officially testified to the reality of an extraterrestrial presence, and its relation to the already disclosed UFO ‘problem.’

This is why members of government, like John Podesta, Chief of Staff for Bill Clinton, Counsellor to Barack Obama and head of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign before she dropped out, stated that “the time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue. We have statements from the most credible sources, those in a position to know, about a fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined.” (You can find sources for this quote, and other statements made by Podesta on this matter in this article we published in February about him.)

“As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4. ” – One example out of hundreds involving the military intercept of a UFO that was tracked on air radar, ground radar, and visually confirmed by pilots (source)

Why It’s Time To Listen To Contactees, Abductees & Experiencers/ A Psychological Standpoint

Just to clarify, ‘contactees’ are usually those who have reported ‘friendly’ contact experiences with extraterrestrials, ‘abductees’ are those who have had what they perceive to be fearful experiences, and experiencers are those who neither view the experience as ‘good’ or ‘bad,” but simply just an experience. It’s important to note this, because various people have reported different types of experiences with different types of beings.

“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered… We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.” – Dr. Edgar Mitchell, ScD, 6th man to walk on the Moon (source) (source)

The reality is that some people who claim to have had contact with intelligent extraterrestrial beings actually have.

John Mack, A Harvard professor, psychiatrist and Pulitzer Price recipient stresses that:

“Yes, it’s both. It’s both literally, physically happening to a degree; and it’s also some kind of psychological, spiritual experience occurring and originating perhaps in another dimension. And so the phenomenon stretches us, or it asks us to stretch to open to realities that are not simply the literal physical world, but to extend to the possibility that there are other unseen realities from which our consciousness, our, if you will, learning processes over the past several hundred years have closed us off.” (source)

We published an article earlier this year regarding John Mack, and more than 60 school children witnessing non-human beings and a large craft landing. The children were interviewed by him, and it was quite a remarkable story with all of the children providing very similiar stories. Until this day these children have been speaking of it, an event occurred more than 20 years ago….

“They describe these events like a person talks about something that has happened to them. I can tell that these are people of sound mind telling me something…” (quote continued and taken from the video linked below) -Dr. John Mack, professor of psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

You can watch THIS video of Mack Interview the children, and you can read THIS article that goes more into detail on that case.

According to retired McGill University professor in the Department of Psychology (research areas beings cognition and cognitive Neuroscience), Dr. Don Donderi:

“Some of what people report as UFOs are extraterrestrial (ET) vehicles. Some of those extraterrestrial vehicles actually have ET crews, and some of those ET crews catch and release humans.” (source)

Academicians like these, and others like Richard Dolan, David M. Jacobs and more have been studying this phenomena for decades, and the reports of beings and examining why they are here, what they are doing, what they look like and more has been documented by their (and others) research.

What I find most fascinating about these stories is how many of them seem to compliment each other instead of contradicting each other, which just adds to the mystery.

As far as physical research goes:

“There are a great many photographs of such body marks, many of which are in an equilateral triangle pattern of red dots on the wrist or near the ankle. Also common are scoop marks,” in which it appears as if a small amount of tissue was removed from beneath the skin, leaving an indentation.” -Richard Dolan (taken from his book, UFOs for the 21st century mind)

Below is a clip of Dr. Roger Leir. a doctor of podiatric medicine, and arguably the best known individual with regards to extracting alleged alien implants. He has performed more than fifteen surgeries that removed sixteen separate distinct objects. These objects have been investigated by several prestigious laboratories, including Los Alamos National Laboratories, New Mexico Tech, and many others. Unfortunately, he passed away in March 2014, but his legacy lives on.

Truth is, as  former NASA astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor puts it, “there is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a vary long time.”  (source)

**The information below is a very brief summary of a few of the most commonly reported extraterrestrials based on all of the research I’ve done on this subject.

 Human Looking Extraterrestrials

human

Extraterrestrials with features drastically similar to human beings have reported by contactees, abductees and experiencers for a long time. This type of experience is actually quite common. Many people have reported that they’ve been taken into ships, and warned about the direction the human race is heading. They’re also often portrayed as assisting our planet in various ways, both on a physical level and an energetic one.

“Decades ago, visitors from other plants warned us about where we were headed and offered to help.  But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.” – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defense Minister (source)

There have also been reports of human looking extraterrestrials working with humans inside of what’s known as the military industrial complex with regards to making technological advancements. This is why in the highly classified world, the black budget world, it’s probably the independent government contractors that are working in these areas.

Stories of human like extraterrestrials date from the beginning of time all the way up to the present day, and historical literature is littered with accounts of these types of encounters.

My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving, and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.” – Richard Wagamese, Ojibway Author (source)

As far as the picture above, I am not sure if it’s real or fake, but that’s not the point. It was used to spark your imagination, it is supposedly one of the extraterrestrials that was discovered dead inside of a ship that was located on the moon – retrieved from one of the Apollo missions.

Other common looks are tall, muscular with long hair, blue eyes and blond hair. The same type of figure has also been reported with black and white beings. Some reports have detailed beings with blue skin, larger eyes, as well as shorter beings, with a little more ’round’ of a head. There seems to be a large variation, some know asand the possibility of several different looking human-like extraterrestrial beings. This raises some very interesting questions regarding the origin of our species, if the humanoid form is common throughout the universe, what does that mean?

**The picture below comes from Corey Good, as featured on the show “Cosmic Disclosure.”

Contanctee’s commonly refer to these beings being from various star systems like Arcturus, Sirius, Andromeda and the Pleiades, just to name a few.

Cat/bird like humanoid (like above) beings are also fairly common among supposed encounters.

It’s also noteworthy to mention that all types of beings seem to communicate using telepathy. The following is a selected list of downloadable peer-reviewed journal articles on psi (psychic) phenomena, most published in the 21st century, you can click HERE

 The Grey Alien

gray

The grey alien is another very common type of extraterrestrial that’s been reported by several abductees, contactees and experiencers. Reports range from small, three to four feet tall beings all the way up to seven to nine foot tall beings and everything in between.

One of the most common types of experiences among several abductees is one in which they have their sperm or eggs extracted. Many have gone through what seems to be a pretty scary experience, despite the fact that multiple times people have reported the beings communicating to them and trying to calm them down, and tell the person that they weren’t going to cause any harm to them. At other times, forceful abduction goes without any communication. Many abductee’s report being impregnated, and then abducted years after to see their hybrid child. This seems to be a very common experience, and suggests that this race (Greys) are creating a human/grey hybrid race, or have been tinkering with the DNA of human beings for quite some time. Many researchers have suggested that these hybrids are already here, and that many babies being born today could have ‘tinkered’ with. There have also been sightings of Grey like beings taking vegetation from our planet (perhaps’s to study, alien scientists?).

There have also been reports of woman being impregnated by a supposed extraterrestrial or extraterrestrial/human hybrid. Shortly after the experience the women are taken by ‘government’ agencies and the baby is removed and taken away to be studied by them. It’s not uncommon for these people who have had these experiences to get visits by these unknown people who seem to want to know more about the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon.

There are some reports of races like these working with certain governments (or ‘shadow governments’) in a technological exchange program. I have come across stories in my research where some groups of beings warn the human race not work with other groups of beings. These stories are endless, and quite fascinating, but I’ll save that for another article.

Reptilians

rep

 The ‘Reptilian’ type being is one that’s been reported and depicted in various human cultures that date back thousands of years all the way up to the present day. These beings have been reported as ‘friendly,’not so friendly and in between. That’s a common theme throughout most supposed extraterrestrial species. The fact that two different beings of the same race can be reported as benevolent and the other as malevolent.

Many people seem to believe that reptilian type beings are one (out of many) working behind the scenes with those who control the government to ‘en-slave’ the human race. Some even believe that that the global elite are in large part reptilian in origin.

To be honest, it’s not that far fetched. After researching this topic in depth for almost a decade, there is no doubt in my mind that not only have governments and ‘shadow governments’ become aware of the extraterrestrial presence, but they’ve interacted with several different groups of extraterrestrials.

It’s Ok To Ask These Questions

Just to re-emphasize that things like this need to be discussed more, because they are and have been discussed at the highest levels of government, in secret, for almost one hundred years. For example, thisparticular FBI document was addressed to “certain scientists of distinction,” to “aeronautical and military authorities,” and to “a number of public officials.”

The document is a letter that was sent to the director of FBI in Washington from the San Fransisco office, on a matter pertaining to UFOs & extraterrestrials:

“Lt. Colonel (name redacted) of G2 [G2 means army intelligence], San Francisco advised today he has no further information, and that our Seattle office is in  possession of all information known by him and is handling the matter at Tacoma, Washington.”

The document goes on to provide a copy of a letter written by someone with “several university degrees” and a former “university department head.”

The memorandum also states that “the mere fact that the data herein were obtained by so-called  ‘supernormal’ means is probably sufficient to insure its disregard by nearly all persons addressed.”

Key words above – the fact that they would like to “insure its disregard” by “nearly” everyone addressed.  Does this mean that ‘some’ of the people addressed should not disregard it?

The letter goes on to outline and state that: (pages 21 & 22)

  • Part of the disks carry crews, others are under remote control.
  • Their mission is peaceful, the visitors contemplate settling on this planet.
  • These visitors are human-like but much larger in size.
  • They are not excarnate Earth people, but come from their own world
  • The disks posses some type of radiant energy.
  • They do not come from any “planet” as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us.
  • The bodies of the visitors, and the craft also, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter.
  • They re-enter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace.
  • The region they come from is NOT the astral plane, but corresponds to the Lakas or Talas. Students of esoteric matters will understand these terms

Please keep in mind that there are probably many different types of extraterrestrials out there, and many different kinds that have interacted with humanity in some way. The above document is probably referring to one specific race? I don’t know.

This is one out of thousands of examples of documents, and it’s not even one that I would pick as most startling. We should definitely be thinking about why these documents were concealed from the public for decades, and think about what other information still lay dormant inside of the military industrial complex when it comes to extraterrestrial beings.

You can see examples of documents that go into detail on what happens when the military tracks a UFO on radar HERE.

I will NOT discount it however.” On October 3rd, 1967, Ralph was the copilot of PAA Flight 160, a Boeing 707 cargo ship out of New York headed to London.

They were approaching Yarmouth, Nova Scotia at approximately 33,000 feet when the strange occurrence had hit. The night was described by Ralph as “clear, moonless and the lights of the south coast were plainly in view.” He was the first to observe a formation of lights that sat at eleven o’clock position and a bit high.  “It appeared to be another large transport, showing all lights, heading straight for us in a left bank which would take it across our bow. I announced to Captain Curt Olsen and flight engineer Mike Littlepage to ‘watch this guy!’” All eyes were on deck watching what became known as and referred to as ‘The Lights’. Both pilots went onto the control yokes to avoid collision. The lights hung at a 45 degree angle downslope left to right.The pilots did not file a UFO report when asked if they had wanted to when talking with the Boston air traffic control center. Even-though it was confirmed by the control center that there was no traffic near the plane the pilots decided to let this go to avoid filing out paperwork.  Ralph says that they should have “been closing in on this strange target if it was standing still, and Mike remembers the lights getting closer.” He also recalls bringing the Navigator and Third Pilot up from the gallery to point this out. Over the past forty plus years, details become grained and blurred but one thing remains a constant which is that night over Nova Scotia, many people in flight and on ground witnessed ‘The Lights.’ 

This is a FIRST hand, eyewitness account from the pilot himself who today feels that “no other pilots care, many strange things have been reported across the bar.” Today, there are a bountiful rising amount of informal looks into UFO and ET Phenomenon not just in Canada but other global spots as well.

Here Is the Missile That Caused A UFO Panic Along The Coast Of California

Here Is the Missile That Caused A UFO Panic Along The Coast Of California

Here Is the Missile That Caused A UFO Panic Along The Coast Of California

The U.S. Navy and the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) both have released a photo of the actual Trident II D-5 ballistic missile which was secretly launched from the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, the USS Kentucky, on the 7th of November, causing fear and panic among thousands of West Coasters, some of whom cried alien invasion.

The launch was an unannounced night-time test at the Pacific Test Range and as Tyler over at Foxtrot Alpha explained: “most people go about their lives in Los Angeles with no idea that some of the world’s premier military operating areas lay not far off of their coast”. Photos and posts with the hashtag #UFO flooded all the social media platforms on Saturday night, and it took quite a long time for the Navy to come out with a statement about the “scheduled Trident II (D5) missile test flight”. (No wonder that Washington Post asked: Why test-fire a missile within sight of the nation’s second-largest city, terrifying thousands?)

Anyhow, thanks to the event, we have seen dozens of amazing photos and footage (which keeps coming) of the beautiful glowing blue trail of the missile:

So actually the 156th successful test flight of an unarmed Trident II D5 missile, was part of a Demonstration and Shakedown Operation (DASO) in the Pacific Test Range to validate the readiness and effectiveness of an ballistic missile submarine’s crew and weapon system. As USSTRATCOM said later:

  • Strategic weapons tests, along with exercises and operations, demonstrate the readiness of the nation’s nuclear triad, assuring America’s allies and deterring potential adversaries. One of nine DoD unified combatant commands, USSTRATCOM has global strategic missions, assigned through the Unified Command Plan, which include strategic deterrence; space operations; cyberspace operations; joint electronic warfare; global strike; missile defense; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; combating weapons of mass destruction; and analysis and targeting.

Antarctic UFO mystery deepens after researchers 'find tanks guarding alien crash site'

Antarctic UFO mystery deepens after researchers 'find tanks guarding alien crash site'

ALIEN conspiracy theorists claim to have found evidence of military vehicles "guarding" a mysterious UFO crash site discovered in the Antarctic.

Express.co.uk revealed earlier this year the claims of another UFO hunter that he had 'found the crash site and wreckage of an alien craft" that he believes may have been downed in the Antarctic.

Valentin Degterev from the city of Nizhny Tagil in central Russia, says he found the UGO (unidentified ground object) online using Google Earth.

But now fellow researchers have dug out satellite images of the same site, just off Willy Field Road, which were taken in April and December 2011.

The channel says it found the pictures which they believe show four tanks in a line facing the strange crack in the snow on Google Earth – as if a UFO has skidded to a halt after an emergency landing.

RELATED ARTICLES

YouTube channel Third Phase of Moon has posted an online video of the finding of the images, the latest of which were taken just two months before the previously released picture, which shows the "crash site" but no tanks.

The channel has previously been accused of uploading allegedly hoaxed or misleading footage, which is something it denies.

Not all viewers of their new video were convinced, with one poster saying from the scale of the map the tanks would be 70 feet long - bigger than any known military tank.

But speaking on the video representatives of the channel said: "Why do they have tanks around it?

"It is something on Google maps, not something created by us."

Posters debated why the "tanks" had no tracks and if they could have been later covered by snow.

Mr Degterev, who says he is a "researcher of the unknown" had earlier this summer posted the images and co-ordinates online before they went viral.

He was convinced the huge unidentified object must have been caused by a UFO crash at least three years ago with the "flying saucer" still half buried there in the ice-land wastes of Antarctica.

But there was no sign of anything else in the picture he alerted people to.

He wrote on social media: "In among the endless ice desert, it is the most genuine UFO in its most classic shape.

The satellite image used by Google Earth was taken on February 15 2012, but has just been made more widely available.

He said: "I think there is very large disc-shaped flying machine amongst the frozen ice."

He estimated the size of it at 204 feet wide and 40 feet tall, making it a monster-sized ship, if he were correct.

But Nina Lavrova posted in response to him: "It is clearly just a massive indent in the snow."

But Savely Kruglov thought he could be spot on, adding: "You might be onto something here. The Antarctic is pretty desolate and would be a good place to land without being noticed."

Irma Bogdanova, said: "Wow. Well spotted. I wonder what happened to those inside."

Bermuda Triangle Mystery Hidden In Space!?

Bermuda Triangle Mystery Hidden In Space!?

Also known as the “Devil’s Triangle“, the Bermuda Triangle consists of a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, and is defined by points in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. It stretches across less than a thousand miles on any one side. The triangle does not exist according to the US Navy and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names. This mysterious body of water is filled with incredible stories and rumors that if not supernatural or otherworldly. Is it possible that this imaginary triangle is evidence of extraterrestrial activity on our Planet? One thing’s for sure, over the past century, the Bermuda Triangle has been “swallowing” vessels and disappearing airplanes and is blamed for the loss of hundreds of lives.
 
Now, a scientific project led by Italian experts wants to explain the mystery behind this infamous zone. According to them, the real cause of the anomaly known as the Bermuda Triangle in outer space. The team of researchers from the National Institute of Astrophysics of Bologna in Italy, led by specialist Ricardo Campana is prepared to monitor and regularly measure the mysterious ocean region known academically as the South Atlantic Anomaly, determined by a geographical triangle with vertices in Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida.
 
According to many people the bermuda triangle is one of the largest anomalous zones on planet Earth, and while most people think the bermuda triangle is only located on water, only a few people know that its anomalous region extends hundreds of kilometers in-land.
 
Even Astronauts, Russian Cosmonauts and pilots from around the world have spoken about the Bermuda Triangle saying to have seen flashes of light when flying over the area, moments in which, according to many, electronic flight instruments appear to malfunction.
 
Previous satellite measurements were able to show that the Van Allen belt ie, the inner radiation belt of the earth which is a layer of energetic charged particles, is located closer to the surface of our planet precisely over the region of the Bermuda Triangle. Scientists speculate that the variation of the Van Allen belt and its proximity on this area could lead to the numerous mysteries that have been connected to the area: the disappearance of ships and airplanes and mysterious weather phenomena.
 
Some researchers believe that the anomalous zone is not static, but is moving from its current position towards the Gulf of Mexico.

Quantum Experiment Shows How “Time” Doesn’t Exist As We Think It Does (Mind-Altering)

Quantum Experiment Shows How “Time” Doesn’t Exist As We Think It Does (Mind-Altering)

TIME

“We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery.” Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate of the twentieth century (Radin, Dean. Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences In A Quantum Reality. New York, Paraview Pocket Books, 2006)

The concept of “time” is a weird one, and the world of quantum physics is even weirder. There is no shortage of observed phenomena which defy our understanding of logic, bringing into play thoughts, feelings, emotions – consciousness itself, and a post-materialist view of the universe. This fact is no better illustrated than by the classic double slit experiment, which has been used by physicists (repeatedly) to explore the role of consciousness and its role in shaping/affecting physical reality. (source) The dominant role of a physical material (Newtonian) universe was dropped the second quantum mechanics entered into the equation and shook up the very foundation of science, as it continues to do today.

“I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulating consciousness.”  –  Max Planck, theoretical physicist who originated quantum theory, which won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918

There is another groundbreaking, weird experiment that also has tremendous implications for understanding the nature of our reality, more specifically, the nature of what we call “time.”

It’s known as the “delayed-choice” experiment, or “quantum eraser,” and it can be considered a modified version of the double slit experiment.

To understand the delayed choice experiment, you have to understand the quantum double slit experiment.

In this experiment, tiny bits of matter (photons, electrons, or any atomic-sized object) are shot towards a screen that has two slits in it. On the other side of the screen, a high tech video camera records where each photon lands. When scientists close one slit, the camera will show us an expected pattern, as seen in the video below. But when both slits are opened, an “interference pattern” emerges – they begin to act like waves. This doesn’t mean that atomic objects are observed as a wave (even though it recently has been observed as a wave), they just act that way. It means that each photon individually goes through both slits at the same time and interferes with itself, but it also goes through one slit, and it goes through the other. Furthermore, it goes through neither of them. The single piece of matter becomes a “wave” of potentials, expressing itself in the form of multiple possibilities, and this is why we get the interference pattern.

How can a single piece of matter exist and express itself in multiple states, without any physical properties, until it is “measured” or “observed?” Furthermore, how does it choose which path, out of multiple possibilities, it will take?

Then, when an “observer” decides to measure and look at which slit the piece of matter goes through, the “wave” of potential paths collapses into one single path. The particle goes from becoming, again, a “wave” of potentials into one particle taking a single route. It’s as if the particle knows it’s being watched. The observer has some sort of effect on the behavior of the particle.

You can view a visual demonstration/explanation of the double slit experiment here.

This quantum uncertainty is defined as the ability, “according to the quantum mechanic laws that govern subatomic affairs, of a particle like an electron to exist in a murky state of possibility — to be anywhere, everywhere or nowhere at all — until clicked into substantiality by a laboratory detector or an eyeball.” (New York Times)

According to physicist Andrew Truscott, lead researcher from a study published by the Australian National University, the experiment suggests that “reality does not exist unless we are looking at it.” It suggests that we are living in a holographic-type of universe. (source)

Delayed Choice/Quantum Eraser/Time

So, how is all of this information relevant to the concept of time? Just as the double slit experiment illustrates how factors associated with consciousness collapse the quantum wave function (a piece of matter existing in multiple potential states) into a single piece of matter with defined physical properties (no longer a wave, all those potential states collapsed into one), the delayed choice experiment illustrates how what happens in the present can change what happens(ed) in the past. It also shows how time can go backwards, how cause and effect can be reversed, and how the future caused the past.

Like the quantum double slit experiment, the delayed choice/quantum eraser has been demonstrated and repeated time and time again. For example, Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have conducted John Wheeler’s delayed-choice thought experiment, the findings were recently published in the journal Nature Physics. (source)

In 2007 (Science 315, 966, 2007), scientists in France shot photons into an apparatus and showed that their actions could retroactively change something which had already happened.

“If we attempt to attribute an objective meaning to the quantum state of a single system, curious paradoxes appear: quantum effects mimic not only instantaneous action-at-a-distance, but also, as seen here, influence of future actions on past events, even after these events have been irrevocably recorded.” – Asher Peres, pioneer in quantum information theory (source)(source)(source)

The list literally goes on and on, and was first brought to the forefront by John Wheeler, in 1978, which is why I am going to end this article with his explanation of the delayed choice experiment. He believed that this experiment was best explained on a cosmic scale.

Cosmic Scale Explanation

He asks us to imagine a star emitting a photon billions of years ago, heading in the direction of planet Earth. In between, there is a galaxy. As a result of what’s known as “gravitational lensing,” the light will have to bend around the galaxy in order to reach Earth, so it has to take one of two paths, go left or go right. Billions of years later, if one decides to set up an apparatus to “catch” the photon, the resulting pattern would be (as explained above in the double slit experiment) an interference pattern. This demonstrates that the photon took one way, and it took the other way.

One could also choose to “peek” at the incoming photon, setting up a telescope on each side of the galaxy to determine which side the photon took to reach Earth. The very act of measuring or “watching” which way the photon comes in means it can only come in from one side. The pattern will no longer be an interference pattern representing multiple possiblities, but a single clump pattern showing “one” way.

What does this mean? It means how we choose to measure “now” affects what direction the photon took billions of years ago. Our choice in the present moment affected what had already happened in the past….

This makes absolutely no sense, which is a common phenomenon when it comes to quantum physics. Regardless of our ability make sense of it, it’s real.

This experiment also suggests that quantum entanglement (which has also been verified, read more about that here) exists regardless of time. Meaning two bits of matter can actually be entangled, again, in time.

Time as we measure it and know it, doesn’t really exist.

Wetenschappers ontdekken meest afgelegen object van ons zonnestelsel - HLN.be

STERRENKUNDE Wetenschappers hebben een nieuw hemellichaam ontdekt in ons zonnestelsel, zo berichten onze collega's van De Volkskrant. Het object met de naam 'V774104' is 500 tot 1000 kilometer groot en ligt op meer dan 15 miljard kilometer van de zon. Daarmee is V774104 het verst van de zon verwijderde lid van ons zonnestelsel.

  •     De meest fascinerende theorie is dat achter de Kuipergordel een nog onontdekte planeet schuilgaat die de baan dicteert van V774104

Het afgelegen hemellichaam V774104 werd ontdekt met de 8-meter Subaru-telescoop op Mauna Kea (Hawaï). Het ligt op een indrukwekkende afstand die 103 keer groter is dan de afstand tussen de aarde en de zon.

Het is nog niet duidelijk welke baan V774104 volgt. Dat is belangrijk om meer te weten te komen over de oorsprong van het object. Het zal nog zeker een jaar duren voordat daar meer duidelijkheid over zal zijn. 

Als blijkt dat V774104 met een bepaalde regelmaat in de buurt van Neptunus komt, zou het om een Kuipergordelobject kunnen gaan dat door de zwaartekracht van de grotere planeten in ons zonnestelsel is weggeslingerd. 

Een andere optie is dat het een kleiner hemellichaam is dat permanent vertoeft aan de rand van ons zonnestelsel. Zo zijn er nog maar twee ontdekt: Sedna en 2012 VP113. Dan zou het object ontsnapt kunnen zijn uit het binnenste deel van de Oortwolk. Dat is de grote 'wolk' van ijsachtige objecten die ons zonnestelsel omhult. 

Maar dan is de vraag hoe het in die baan is terechtgekomen. De meest fascinerende theorie is daar dat achter de Kuipergordel een nog onontdekte planeet schuilgaat die de baan dicteert van V774104.

Théorie du complot: rien n'arrive par hasard, non?

Théorie du complot: rien n'arrive par hasard, non?

Depuis quelques années, le phénomène des théories du complot occupe une place considérable dans le débat public. Pour expliquer cette suspicion généralisée, on impute souvent aux «conspirationnistes» une vision binaire dans laquelle le hasard n’existe pas. Une hypothèse remise en question par un groupe de recherche des Universités de Fribourg et Paris-Saint-Denis.

Chaque événement majeur est désormais accompagné d’une ou plusieurs «explications alternatives» remettant en cause le discours «officiel» et signalant des incohérences (prétendues ou réelles) qui indiqueraient les intentions cachées et malhonnêtes de groupes puissants. Des études menées dans divers pays ainsi qu’à l'Université de Fribourg ont déjà associé divers processus sociologiques et psychologiques à la «mentalité conspirationniste»: polarisation idéologique, rupture de confiance envers les «élites», tendances paranoïaques, raisonnements orientés et tronqués, anxiété face à la complexité… Dans ce cadre, des commentateurs ont émis l’idée, souvent reprise, que les «conspirationnistes» répondent à un schéma de pensée très simple (une «heuristique») qui tiendrait en ces quelques mots: «rien n’arrive par hasard». Cette posture conduirait à des interrogations telles que «à qui profite le crime?» et faciliterait l’adhésion aux théories du complot.

Cependant, cette hypothèse n’avait jamais été mise à l’épreuve directement. Trois chercheurs des Universités de Fribourg et de Paris-Saint-Denis ont mis en lien leur expertise en psychologie cognitive, sociale et mathématique, afin de procéder à un test simple: si l’adhésion aux théories du complot est véritablement liée à l’heuristique généraliste «rien n’arrive par hasard», cela devrait se manifester par une perception particulière de celui-ci. Par exemple, une séquence de «pile ou face» devrait sembler moins aléatoire à quelqu’un qui croit aux théories du complot qu’à quelqu’un qui n’y croit pas.

Idée reçue

Au cours de 3 expériences, plus de 400 participants ont estimé à quel point des séquences binaires de longueur égale, telles que «XXXXXXXXXOOX» ou «XOOXOXOOOOXX», leur semblaient être le fruit du hasard ou d’un processus déterministe ou intentionnel. Dans ces exemples, on voit que la première séquence paraît moins aléatoire que la seconde, une intuition mathématiquement justifiée, qui fournit une assise objective au concept de hasard. Parallèlement, les sujets étaient amenés à remplir des questionnaires mesurant leur adhésion à plusieurs niveaux de «complotisme»: méfiance générale à l’égard des autorités, croyances spécifiques à des théories du complot «classiques» (11 septembre, Lady Diana, assassinat de JFK, etc.) ou encore susceptibilité aux complots «interpersonnels» (impliquant par exemple une conspiration de collègues de travail).

Les résultats, publiés dans la revue Psychological Science, viennent contredire l’idée selon laquelle, pour les complotistes, «rien n’arrive par hasard». Ils indiquent, au contraire, qu’il n’y a aucun lien entre la capacité à percevoir le hasard et cette mentalité. Bien que séduisante et pratique, cette hypothèse de base doit donc être écartée et la recherche s’ouvrir à une explication plus nuancée. «Comprendre la mécanique des théories du complot est un défi capital et urgent dans un contexte politico-médiatique marqué par une rupture de confiance, des polarisations idéologiques favorisées par des flux d’information dits "alternatifs", et une défiance généralisée envers les "élites" et les "experts". Notre recherche situe aujourd’hui les ressorts de la mentalité conspirationniste à un niveau cognitif plus complexe», commentent les trois chercheurs.

5th November 1990: Over 400 UFOs Flew Across Europe

5th November 1990: Over 400 UFOs Flew Across Europe

a2

A drawing from one of the many witnesses Mrs Blandine Mariotte

Yes, you read that right! Over 400 UFOs were witnessed across Europe in just one day!! But how many of you were aware of this? The mainstream media did a spectacular job at covering it up worldwide.

Witnesses described the crafts as: Triangular, cigar shaped, saucer shaped, orbs, all different sizes ranging from a few meters to a gigantic one estimated at 1.8 miles!

A Mrs Mariotte said:

  • The size was enormous: the length was estimated at 2000 m, altitude 200 m, with the height of a 20 storey building! At the rear I could see three powerful silvery beams of light pointing downwards like they were searching for something. Gradually, the huge thing moved eastward, parallel to its axis. Realizing that I was about to lose sight of the object, I leapt through the kitchen window. And then I saw (but this time from behind) the monstrous thing that flew in complete silence over the centre of Melun, and away to the east.

One of the laughable excuses from the authorities on this craft was: A Russian rocket re-entering into our atmosphere. Below is a newspaper article with the testimony of a witness debunking the rocket explanation.

He explains that he was outside that night, he observed the craft for around 30 seconds, it was between 700 and 800 meters in altitude and was flying between 160 and 200 MPH, there were two lights in the front, some blinking lights too and all that without a single sound. Nothing to do with a rocket in our atmosphere!

Below a video of a triangular shaped craft from this very same night which appeared on the national news, apologies for the bad quality as it was filmed 25 years ago, though you can still see the triangle:

Newspaper article from an experienced pilot:

a7

“Impossible, I do not believe the meteorite theory!”

While piloting his twin engine plane at an altitude of 11000 metres, he saw a luminous phenomenon which resembled “a waterfall of lights”, its beauty and size were very impressive, a few seconds later he could only see a cloud where those lights were, but then it all lit up with white and orange lights flying over him in an orderly manner. At this moment in time, the pilot was in communication with two others, at first they thought it was a mid-air refuelling operation but then concluded that it would have taken at least 30 crafts to match the size of what they had witnessed.

I was lucky enough to be in France at that time, this is what I saw (Yaz U.I.P):

A4

5th November 1990, Paris, I was standing in my balcony around 12.30pm, clear sky, when I saw a huge black line in the sky, this line was not moving and hundreds of people were staring at it, then the line started to get smaller but as it was doing so another line was appearing parallel to it, this event lasted a few hours. Also since the apparition of the first line, the usually busy skies of Paris were empty of airplanes!! Darkness started to fall as the second line grew bigger, so it was hard to see it when suddenly it all lit up, it was an amazing sight! Then the lit-up line tilted to its side and flew silently over our heads.

U.I.P summary: 05/11/1990 a date that tens of thousands of us will never forget, this event must have been the biggest UFO event of all times, it had everything: Many different types of crafts, thousands of witnesses including pilots and radar operators, photographic evidence, videos, etc..

Yet once again, this major event was suppressed by the powers that be, trying to ridicule the whole thing by pointing the finger at a rocket or a meteorite, they were soon to be ridiculed themselves by many scientists. Their only option was to make the people forget about this major event by bombarding them with constant rubbish on TV and newspapers, it worked on some citizens, but not on us, let’s never forget this major, and maybe the biggest UFO event in recent years..

YAZ, Mwv- U.I.P

Looking for Advanced Alien Tech, the KGB Finds Mummified Body of The Visitor God

Looking for Advanced Alien Tech, the KGB Finds Mummified Body of The Visitor God

In the early 60s, the KGB initiated operation ISIS, a secret project meant to discover or achieve extraterrestrial technology. Instead, they ended up finding the body of an alien dating 13,000 years back, on the Plateau of Giza, in Egypt.

visitor_god1

At the beginning of the Cold War, the USSR had a small panic attack at the thought that America might already have a crucial and decisive trump, gained by the possible discovery, study and ultimately the replication of alien technology such as the one retrieved from the infamous Roswell crash site.

So the Russians put a lot of effort themselves into searching for similar artifacts, hoping they would find something even better than their foes.

The first logical place to search would be Egypt, which is filled with mysterious structures like the pyramids, the even older sphinx, or numerous ancient tombs they keep discovering even today. Egypt was an ally of Russia, so the KGB asked the local services if they have any information regarding anything remotely close to what they were seeking.

1211

The Egyptian authorities said they have no real information, but have heard a story about the Tomb of the Visitor God, told to them on the deathbed by two Bedouins at a local hospital. They were said to have accidentally found the tomb of an extraterrestrial being and just after going inside became suddenly sick and had to be rushed to the nearest emergency room.

The Bedouins didn’t survive the mysterious brutal illness, but before they died they confessed to the whole experience. Upon receiving this intelligence, the USSR rapidly assembled a crew made out of scientists, archaeologists and military staff, who were sent to Africa were they would team up with a similar Egyptian team to look for the site. All this is confirmed by Viktor Ivanovich, a scientist from Russia who had permission to study some classified intelligence files.

  • There is no doubt that a small group of Russian scientists with military experts have discovered a tomb in Egypt in 1961. But in the documents it has never been revealed exactly what was found inside the sarcophagus. Only sources of the highest ranks of the KGB know that we have found the remains of an alien creature that died in Egypt 10,000 before Christ.”

The bi-national mission was a success and the team not only located the tomb, but also recovered a vast amount of artifacts. Reports between high ranking KGB officials show that no less that fifteen crates of such unknown wonders were retrieved from the Visitor God’s tomb.

kgb_isis_3-1

The tomb’s walls were also full of Hieroglyphic markings, which a team of both Russian and local Egyptologists worked tirelessly to first copy and then translate. Among paragraphs that could be translated are tales of the return of a foreign god, pictured with large wings. The team also reported a shield or barrier holding them back like it was protecting something or someone. We don’t know who or what.

During the inspection of the walls we noticed a strange repulsive force coming out of the walls. We could not find any scientific explanation.”

osiris_mummy-1

The big amazement came at finding the Visitor God’s resting place and mummified remains. It’s size is considerably larger than a normal man’s, and it would’ve probably been even greater while alive (mummification drastically reduces bodies). The remains were carbon tested and are believed to be approximately 13,000 years old.

Egypt’s ancient mythology tells us that the first dynasty was spawned by Osiris, who was part man and part god and came down to Earth aboard a flying vessel. This is clearly not a prophecy but the description of a UFO encounter, as they had no knowledge of such things back then. If so, the KGB could’ve stumbled upon the body of our real creator.

There’s also video footage of the expedition, which experts have mostly declared valid and un-forged. Being from the 60s, it’s black and white and shows archaeological digging in detail. The film is said to be received by a Russian third party with private access to secret security files.

For a few seconds you can see crew members were in a hurry to exit the room, as toxic gas is spread when the coffin is opened and one member even told the camera man to stop filming and get out. A smaller team later returns wearing protective gear.

Many years later, we still don’t know exactly what technology or secrets they uncovered or who the body actually belonged to. Your opinion is…?

Great-grandfather, 87, has been secretly building a FLYING SAUCER as a tribute to his late wife after they spotted a UFO in the sky together - and he plans to launch it

Great-grandfather, 87, has been secretly building a FLYING SAUCER as a tribute to his late wife after they spotted a UFO in the sky together - and he plans to launch it

  • Duan Phillips, 87, has been working on a special project for two decades
  • He has been keeping a 'low profile' on the flying saucer he has constructed
  • A retired engineer, Mr Phillips said it will 'fly like a frisbee'
  • The saucer has two engines - one for thrust and lift, another that pushes it
  • He is hoping it will take to the air soon, with testing in March or April 2016 

A great-grandfather has revealed to the world the flying saucer he has been quietly constructing for the past 20 years.

Retired aircraft engineer Duan Phillips, 87, has been fascinated by UFOs since he and his late wife Elaine spotted one flying through the sky two decades ago.  

And in something of a tribute to his partner, Mr Phillips has built a real-world version of the mythical flying machine.

'This thing will fly like a frisbee when it gets going,' said Mr Phillips, who lives with his 'dog, cat and canary' in the New South Wales Hunter Region.   

Revealed, the flying machine of the future! Duan Phillips, 87, has constructed his own flying saucer - which will, with any luck, to take the skies for testing next year

The vehicle, which resides in a hanger at the Royal Newcastle Aero Club known as 'Area 51', will work to Mr Phillips' own patented design. 

Powered by two engines - one that pushes it forward, another that gives it thrust and lift - the saucer is designed to fly like a helicopter. 

Piloted from a small seat perched on the roof, it has even hovered in the air this year, Mr Phillips said.

''It's a work in progress,' said Mr Phillips. 'It takes me awhile to do things.

'I get a bit of help from my sons and grandsons, but it takes time. 

'I find it takes me longer to do things when you reach my age.'

He said he had kept the project 'under wraps more or less' until recently. 

'I try to keep a low profile with it and it's reaching the stage now when it needs a bit of publicity or whatever.' 

Mr Phillips, who first joined the Aero Club in 1945, has recently installed a new engine which will give the craft more thrust, although there is more work to be done. 

'It's a work in progress', Mr Phillips, a widow who lives with ihs dog, cat and canary said

He told Daily Mail Australia the vehicle could be seen as something of a tribute to his late wife, who had been a 'very enthusiastic' supporter of the project.

'She told me to keep going,' he said. 

'She stood by me. We raised four lovely children together.'

Mr Phillips is a father-of-four, a grandfather of 11 and a great-grandfather of three. 

They occasionally pop in as their innovative Pop works on his saucer. 

'When I'm working there they'll pop in, my daughter keeps (an eye on me)'. 

You won't see the retiree roaring through the skies at warp speed just yet, though. 

He hopes to take the flying saucer into the air for testing in March or April 2016.

'We're trying to schedule either March or April next year to give it some preliminary tests and whatever.

'We've got to take step at a time with it.

The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah… by Ancient Nuclear Weapons?

The Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah… by Ancient Nuclear Weapons?

We can learn a lot of interesting things from the story of the destruction of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Myth or reality, these two words which are divided by a very thin line, are enigmas in the stories about these historical cities. The legends which speak of peculiar personalities, angels and other deities who literally warned people to leave these doomed cities whose catastrophic fate was inevitable.
 
Sodom and Gomorrah are probably two of the most infamous cities that has existed on planet Earth. These cities have been lost for millennium, and only in recent years the sites have been tentatively identified by researchers who have proposed dozens of different theories about the historical cities and their fate. But what really happened here and what do the stories tell?
 
Here are some of the things we have to know when talking about Sodom and Gomorrah
 
The Bible tells the story of what happened:
 
(Genesis 18:20; 19: 24-26.28)
24 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, destroying all those living in the cities—and also the vegetation in the land. 26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
 
27 Early the next morning Abraham got up and returned to the place where he had stood before the Lord. 28 He looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, toward all the land of the plain, and he saw dense smoke rising from the land, like smoke from a furnace.
 
The cities are believed to have been located south of the Lisan Peninsula.
 
Some researchers call Sodom and Gomorrah the Hiroshima and Nagasaki of the distant past, 4000 years ago.
 
 
Searching the Dead Sea: Sodom and Gomorrah
 
We know that the Dead Sea’s surface and shores are 429 meters (1,407 ft) below sea level, Earth’s lowest elevation on land. The Dead Sea is 304 m (997 ft) deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. With 34.2% salinity (in 2011), it is also one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water, though Lake Vanda in Antarctica (35%), Lake Assal in Djibouti (34.8%) Jordan and many smaller rivers flow into the Dead Sea. The Jordan river has a major significance in Judaism and Christianity and, to a more moderate degree, Islam, as the site where the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land and where Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist. Evaporation under the scorching sun takes place on the surface of the Dead sea at a speed of more than 230 million cubic feet per day. According to the Arab tradition there are many poisonous gases evaporating from the lake that are so hazardous that birds cannot fly over it.

(VIDEO) Amazing Shapeshifting UFO Filmed Over Brazil

(VIDEO) Amazing Shapeshifting UFO Filmed Over Brazil

Reports involving UFOs have increased over the last year as a result of more and more people having access to high quality video gadgets. It appears that UFOs were a common sight from the beginning, but simple declarations about strange phenomenon like these could not convince the majority of us.
 
 
An interesting case revealing the UFO presence here on Earth has recently surfaced from Campo Grande, Brazil. It shows how a strange black flying object is hovering over the crowded city, eventually reaching for the forest area. During this time, it changed shape and from a thorny, metallic aspect it became an aerodynamic disc-like object.
 
The spectacular footage was captured by a local man named Felipe Souza. While he was driving to the market together with his wife, she spotted an unusual flying body in the sky. When Souza saw it, he became really anxious and asked his wife to film it while he was chasing it around town.
 
After a while, the most bizarre thing happened: the UFO shapeshifted right before the Brazilian couple’s eyes and as Mr. Souza describes:
 
"The shape of it was really impressive. It was full of spikes, thorns, but the most impressive moment was when it begun to change its shape. It was rounding up and turning into a disk before our eyes. I was very present and scared at the same time.”
Confused and at the same time intrigued after the UFO changed its form, the man decides that the footage he captured so far is not enough, so he races the flying disk for a few miles until it reaches a forest area.
 
At this point, Mr. Souza manages to zoom-in on the UFO, revealing its imposing size compared to the tree tops and as he previously stated, the flying saucer was about the same size as a car.
 
Some ufologists consider this to be one of the best evidence of UFO presence because the object was caught in two separate films, revealing features resembling to those of classic UFO encounters. While usual characteristics such as the disk-shape, speed and altitude it travels can be noticed in other disclosing videos, this particular case shows a bizarre behavior when the flying disk modifies its shape.
 
The spectacular transition from a spiked object to a classic disk its currently being discussed by several ufologists and analysts of strange phenomenon who reached one mutual conclusion – this UFO is a remarkable piece of technology, and while it travels over the dens populated area, it changes from a somehow aggressive stance to a more common one. Could this be caused by some sort of error? Or is it trying to show us its military artillery?
 
The video brings a big contribution to the UFO phenomenon by showing never before seen behavior of presumed alien crafts and also a big level of confidence as it hovers in plain sight over a dense populated city and because no reports of alien crafts causing a mess have surfaced so far, we can only consider that this spiked UFO had peaceful intentions.

Alien Implants: A Closer Look Into One Aspect of Alien Abduction

Alien Implants: A Closer Look Into One Aspect of Alien Abduction

alien+implants.jpg

Everything from the release of government documents, to high level testimonies from high ranking military and political figures has ignited a massive surge of interest in the UFO phenomenon from people all over the world. Unidentified Flying Objects (performing maneuvers that defy our understanding of physics) are now a confirmed reality. Official government documents prove that defence and government agencies have been examining this topic for a while. For example, you can view the UK’s latest release of files from June 2013 here. As yourself, why is there such a high level of interest from government and military agencies?
The question people are asking has changed from “do UFOs exist?” to “are UFOs extraterrestrial spacecraft?” Attributing today’s unknown ariel phenomenon to extraterrestrial craft might be a big jump to some, but the jump continues to decrease. There are a lot of factors that are attributing to that decrease, and it comes in the form of body marks and extracted implants from people who’ve claimed to have extraterrestrial contact. I’m not saying all UFOs are extraterrestrial craft, I believe many of them are also “ours,”classified projects that come from the black budget world.
“There are a great many photographs of such body marks, many of which are in an equilateral triangle pattern of red dots on the wrist or near the ankle. Also common are scoop marks,” in which it appears as if a small amount of tissue was removed from beneath the skin, leaving an indentation.” -Richard Dolan
The case of extracted implants is very fascinating, and might be considered real scientific evidence that some of these UFOs are in fact extraterrestrial in origin. Implants are largely reported by abductees, and those who have had experience with UFOs.
Below is a clip from the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure that took place in May of 2013. It was held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC where military/agency/political personnel shared witness testimony about the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomenon. Also included were a number of academics, researchers and activists. They gave their testimony to several former members of the United States Congress.
This is a clip of Dr. Roger Leir. a doctor of podiatric medicine, and arguably the best known individual with regards to extracting alleged alien implants. He has performed more than fifteen surgeries that removed sixteen separate distinct objects. These objects have been investigated by several prestigious laboratories, including Los Alamos National Laboratories, New Mexico Tech, and many others. Unfortunately, he passed away in March 2014, but his legacy lives on.
He also spoke at the National Press Club in 2009, you can view that video.
Throughout the years he described what he found in his work, the various implants that he found in people. Perhaps one of the most fascinating facts was that these objects were magnetic in nature, some gave off a radio frequency of 14.7 MHz. According to doctor Leir, they were “fixed, or mobile deep space frequencies.” This is a very large amount for a very small object only millimeters in length, roughly the size of a pencil lead.
Lear also worked with Dr. Alex Mosier, a Ph.D. in physical chemistry. Some of the objects they examined had commonalities with meteorite fragments, metals such as Gallium, Germanium, Platinum, Ruthenium, Rhodium, and Iridium.  They also noted a “deviation of nickel from terrestrial rations that the analysis lab couldn’t explain”, that some of these implants contained nickel with an isotopic ratio not found on planet Earth.
They also found nano fibers very similar to carbon nano-tubes, which suggests the fragments were engineered or manufactured. According to Dr Mosier, “you don’t find these things in nature. they have to be processed, engineered, and they’re not easy to make.”
All the individuals he studied had “no noted portal of entry,” for any of the objects he removed. There was also no notable visible scar formation, and no disruption in the integrity of the skin. All the individuals tested positive to X-rays and CT scans showing metallic or lesser dense foreign objects, and there were no signs of inflammation at all which, according to Dr. Lier would be impossible.
All of these surgeries and tests were done with an extremely limited budget, and to understand it further, more money would had to have been allocated to these findings.
One thing remains clear, there are many that believe the UFO topic to be directly correlated with the extraterrestrial phenomenon. There are reports all over the world from a large amount of people whose stories all seem to correlate. Whether it be through friendly contact or forced abduction, something is definitely going on, and there appears to possibly be multiple races of extraterrestrials interacting with humanity, and a very high level of interest from military agencies all over the world.
Here are three quotes out of hundreds I’ve come across that also show who else has done the research, who else is a believer, and who would be in the position to know a little more than we do about the topic.
“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.” - Dr Brian O’leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor
“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time” 
Apollo 14 Astronaut (source)
“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. It is ironic that the US should be fighting monstrously expensive wars, allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have been kept deliberately in the dark.” -Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister

Un missile inattendu à San Francisco

Mercredi 11 novembre 2015

Quelle est cette insolite lumière dans le ciel ? Elle présentait de plus la particularité de se déplacer et de s'étaler de façon tout à fait perceptible à l'oeil nu. Le hasard a voulu qu'elle apparaisse juste au moment où un photographe et ses amis étaient en train d'immortaliser le pont du Golden Gate à San Francisco, Californie. Ils n'ont pas été les seuls à remarquer cet insolite phénomène, puisque des centaines de témoins se sont manifestés. L'opinion la plus répandue parmi les familiers des choses du ciel était qu'il s'agissait probablement du panache laissé dans son sillage par un lanceur quelconque, une explication bien vite confirmée par la Marine des Etats-Unis : il s'agissait en fait d'un tir d'essai, depuis le sous-marin USS Kentucky, d'un missile de frappe nucléaire stratégique Trident II D5 inerte. Les essais de ce genre ne sont pas rares, mais ils n'ont généralement pas lieu juste après le coucher du Soleil au voisinage d'une zone densément peuplée, ce qui a rendu celui-ci particulièrement peu discret. Si des images du panachen'avaient pas été postées et rapidement interprétées sur Internet, certains auraient pu penser à des explications plus exotiques.

Breaking: NASA Confirms How Mars Transformed From Earth-like to a Cold Dry Planet

Breaking: NASA Confirms How Mars Transformed From Earth-like to a Cold Dry Planet

Evidence shows that Mars was once like Earth with an ocean of Water and a similar atmosphere to what we have on our planet today. NASA confirms today what caused the planet’s atmosphere to escape, leaving it vulnerable to radiation that transformed it into the cold dry world we have been exploring for half a century.

NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has been sampling Mars’ atmosphere to determine what caused Mars to lose its atmosphere

Unlike the previous rover missions such as Curiosity, Spirit and Opportunity, MAVEN did not touch down on Mars but remained in orbit to study the planet’s atmospheric properties. NASA scientists designed MAVEN to determine why the atmosphere is so thin now and what happened to the planet’s moisture.

“Understanding what happened to the Mars atmosphere will inform our knowledge of the dynamics and evolution of any planetary atmosphere. Learning what can cause changes to a planet’s environment from one that could host microbes at the surface to one that doesn’t is important to know, and is a key question that is being addressed in NASA’s journey to Mars,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA’s science mission directorate.

In order to determine what happened to Mars’ water we have to understand what happened to its atmosphere. Thanks to the MAVEN spacecraft, we know that Mars is losing its atmosphere at a rate of 100 grams per second which is like the planet shedding one quarter-pounder each second. This may seem like a lot but at this rate it would take billions of years for the planet to lose its atmosphere, indicating to scientists that the rate of escape must have been more significant in the past.

New data indicates that Mars lost a substantial amount of its atmosphere early on in its history, and the process could be driven by periods of intense solar bursts.

The science team reached this conclusion after studying a particular set of MAVEN data collected earlier this year. On March 8, 2015 MAVEN observed an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME), which is a burst of gas and magnetism emitted by the Sun.

During the solar event, MAVEN monitored both Mars’ magnetic field and atmospheric ionization. The data showed that as the planet was struck by the ICME, strong magnetic rotations in the form of rope-like tendrils within Mars’ magnetic field fluxed as high as 3,107 miles (5,000 kilometers) into space.

At the same time, MAVEN’s instruments observed dramatic spikes in the amount of ions spewing into space, with the highest concentration occurring along the flux ropes. So, basically, the magnetic tendrils served as slingshots, launching oxygen (O2+) and carbon dioxide (CO2+) ions into space. ICME-like conditions are thought to be prevalent early on in the Solar System’s history, which suggests that ion escape rates at that time were driven by major solar events.

As part of its mission, MAVEN has conducted several dips into the Martian atmosphere in order to learn more about the planet’s thermosphere and ionosphere. MAVEN data shows a massive vertical temperature gradient indicating that a continuous mixing of carbon dioxide, argon and nitrogen dioxide is occurring.

Researchers have also measured higher amounts of oxygen than previously predicted. MAVEN detected a substantial difference in the densities of these elements at an altitude of 124 miles (200 kilometers) that varied significantly from orbit to orbit. The density variations along with the temperature differences show that the structure of the upper atmosphere also varies from orbit to orbit. This could be driven from below, by small-scale atmospheric mixing processes or interactions between global winds and gravity waves.

Variations in both density and temperature occurring at high altitudes plays a role in atmospheric escape. Understanding how the solar wind interacts with the Martian atmosphere and what effect the interaction has on atmospheric escape will help scientists better determine what happened to Mars’ atmosphere.

“Like the theft of a few coins from a cash register every day, the loss becomes significant over time,” said Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator at the University of Colorado, Boulder. “We’ve seen that the atmospheric erosion increases significantly during solar storms, so we think the loss rate was much higher billions of years ago when the sun was young and more active.”

Could this happen here on Earth? Well, luckily the Earth is protected from the harsh solar wind by its magnetic field. If the Earth’s magnetic field was ever permanently shut off then eventually the planet would become a larger version of Mars, but really it’s nothing we have to worry about.

Researchers confirm: Giant Ancient Egyptian underground Labyrinth exists and could rewrite history

Researchers confirm: Giant Ancient Egyptian underground Labyrinth exists and could rewrite history

The Incredible Ancient Egyptian underground Labyrinth has been found and confirmed by has been suppressed by mainstream history.

It can be easily considered as one of the greatest discoveries of Ancient Egypt, yet only a few know about the existence of the incredible underground Labyrinth of Egypt, believed to hold countless answers to history itself.

We have all known how special the Pyramid of the Giza Plateau are, and we have all been extremely fascinated behind the enigmatic origin of these Pyramids but there are places in Egypt that are equally magical and yet less known to society.

Recreation of Ancient Egyptian Labyrinth
A RECREATION OF THE GIANT UNDERGROUND LABYRINTH

There are many discoveries beneath the surface of our planet which could potentially change the way we look at history itself. One of them is a forgotten world of underground chambers and tunnels that have remained unexplored for centuries. Mentioned in ancient texts and local legends, these mysterious chambers have been considered as a myth up until they were actually discovered.

The ‘Lost Labyrinth of Egypt’ is without a doubt one of those incredible ancient sites that are a lost jewel in today’s history.

This I have actually seen, a work beyond words. For if anyone put together the buildings of the Greeks and display of their labours, they would seem lesser in both effort and expense to this labyrinth… Even the pyramids are beyond words, and each was equal to many and mighty works of the Greeks. Yet the labyrinth surpasses even the pyramids. Herodotus (‘Histories’, Book, II, 148),

This mysterious underground complex of caverns and chambers is believed to hold the secrets to mankind’s origin, it is also believed to hold sacred ancient text from the lost civilization of Atlantis. It was described by authors such as Strabo and even Herodotus who had the opportunity to visit and record the legendary labyrinth before it disappeared into history.

According to writing by Herodotus I the IV century BC: the labyrinth was “situated a little above the lake of Moiris and nearly opposite to that which is called the City of Crocodiles” (‘Histories’, Book, II, 148).

The labyrinth (as it has been called by some in the distant past) is said to be an extraordinary underground complex which could hold the key to mankind’s history. It is said that there, we could find details about unknown civilizations in history, great empires and rulers that lived on the planet before history as we know it began.

“When one had entered the sacred enclosure, one found a temple surrounded by columns, 40 to each side, and this building had a roof made of a single stone, carved with panels and richly adorned with excellent paintings. It contained memorials of the homeland of each of the kings as well as of the temples and sacrifices carried out in it, all skilfully worked in paintings of the greatest beauty.”

Based on the descriptions of ancient texts such as those from Herodotus, and others who visited the magical labyrinth in the distant past, a 17th century German Jesuit scholar called  Athanasius Kircher, created the first pictorial reproduction of the enigmatic labyrinth just as Herodotus described it: It has twelve courts covered in, with gates facing one another, six upon the North side and six upon the South, joining on one to another, and the same wall surrounds them all outside; and there are in it two kinds of chambers, the one kind below the ground and the other above upon these, three thousand in number, of each kind fifteen hundred. The upper set of chambers we ourselves saw[…]

The underground Egyptian Labyrinth Ancient Code

According to these authors, the underground temple consists of over 3000 rooms which are filled with incredible hieroglyphs and paintings, the enigmatic underground complex is located less than 100 kilometers from Cairo at Hawara. There, in 2008 a group of researchers from Belgium and Egypt arrived to investigate the enigmatic underground complex, with the aid of ground penetrating technology which was used to study the sand in hopes of finding and solving the mystery behind the enigmatic underground complex. The Belgian-Egyptian expedition was able to confirm the presence of the underground temple not far from the Pyramid of Amenemhat III.

Without a doubt, the expedition led by Petrie stumbled upon one of the most incredible discoveries in the history of Egypt, and they did not even need to excavate in order to confirm the finding.

This incredible discovery has been tucked away from society and no one has been able to understand why. The results of the expedition ere published in 2008, shortly after the discovery in the scientific journal of the NRIAG and the results of the research were exchanged in a public lecture at the University of Ghent, which Media from Belgium attended. But the finding was quickly suppressed since the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities (Egypt) put a hold to all further communications about the discovery due to Egyptian National Security sanctions.

Hawara-labyrinth

Louis de Cordier, the lead researchers of the expedition waited patiently for two years for the Supreme Council to acknowledge the findings and make them public, regrettably it never happened. In 2010, de Cordier opened a website, Labyrinth of Egypt in order to make the discovery available for the entire world. Even though researchers have confirmed the existence of the underground complex, mayor excavations need to take place in the future in order to explore the incredible finding. It is believed that the treasures of the underground Labyrinth could hold the answers to countless historic mysteries and the ancient Egyptian civilization.

The only question here is… why has this incredible and historic discovery been suppressed by governments?

It certainly makes you wonder how many more places like this exist on Earth…

Sci-Fi Has Been Prepping Us for an Alien Invasion for Years

Sci-Fi Has Been Prepping Us for an Alien Invasion for Years

HOW WOULD YOU react to an alien invasion? Sci-fi writer Ernie Cline, author of Ready Player One, thinks the attack wouldn’t come as that much of a shock, since decades of monster movies have gotten us used to the idea.

“We wouldn’t be prepared for it completely,” Cline says in Episode 158 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast, “but we would have all these expectations based on forty or fifty years of War of the Worlds and V and Dark Skies and everything else.”

It’s an idea he plays with in his new novel Armada, in which the government has known for decades of an alien invasion and has been funding sci-fi movies and videogames in order to prepare us for war.

“If you’re a five-year-old kid, seeing Star Wars, there would be no better propaganda,” says Cline. “I was ready to go fight aliens.”

Armada also suggests that pieces of the truth are scattered throughout pop culture, an idea Cline credits to the movie Mirage Men, which suggests that the government created Close Encounters of the Third Kind in order to deflect suspicion from a similar event in real life.

“Then if you told the real story, people would say, ‘Oh, that’s just like Close Encounters of the Third Kind,’” says Cline. “It completely discredits you, because it makes you seem like a nut.”

If aliens are real, we can only hope the government takes a page from Armada and constructs a fleet of Earth defense drones that we can pilot from our laptops and game consoles. It might be our only hope, and it would definitely be a blast.

“It’s such a natural idea,” says Cline, “because when you sit down and play a videogame, you want those videogame skills to have some sort of real-world value. So it’s the fantasy of everyone in the world getting to use all their videogame skills.”

Listen to our complete interview with Ernie Cline in Episode 158 of Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy (above). And check out some highlights from the discussion below.

Ernie Cline on Dungeons & Dragons:

“It was forbidden, because my family was very religious, and my mother had gotten ahold of this book from someone at church called Playing with Fire. … And it was just fear-mongering about all the dangers of role-playing games. And she thought thePlayer’s Handbook—you know, that had all those spells in the back—that I was really going to try to collect spell components and cast those spells, and that it was meddling with witchcraft, that I was meddling with powers I didn’t understand, all that. That was part of the appeal of Dungeons & Dragons, it was almost like heavy metal and backmasking, this thing you’re not supposed to mess with, which made it even more appealing to me. I remember sneaking my Dungeons & Dragons books in and out of the house under my jacket. Instead of doing drugs I was sneaking RPG supplements.”

Ernie Cline on drones:

“When I watch Star Wars now, I wonder why they aren’t using drones. If they can have real-time holographic phone calls between planets at faster-than-light speeds, that’s enough information clearly to make a remote-control X-Wing or TIE Fighter. You do not need to send Porkins down to die senselessly. So now I watch any movie where somebody’s climbing into a ship to go into a dangerous—I mean, it makes sense for the movie, but does it make sense from a scientific standpoint? If you could make drones to do it, then you would use drones. So I’d never seen that idea of drones sent to do an alien invasion. In most alien invasion stories, it’s likeIndependence Day, they’re not using drones, they’re putting real people in real ships to go down and die to try to take over the planet.”

Ernie Cline on alien invaders:

“[In movies] they just come down and begin to conduct a World War II-style ground invasion against us, with ship-to-ship combat, because it’s all really great and cinematic and a lot likeStar Wars. But why would the aliens do that? They could just hurl a meteor at Earth if they wanted to exterminate us. Or why do they even come to Earth to begin with? The idea is always that Earth is this perfect, rare, blue world, but it’s perfect for us because we evolved to live here, but for any other alien they always have to terraform Earth. Well why not terraform a lifeless world that’s not inhabited by nuke-wielding monkey boys who are going to fight back? … And if an intelligent species has the technology to travel light years across interstellar space with these massive warships, then they’ve probably reached the Singularity, and they’d be beyond the need for anything that we have.”

Ernie Cline on Wil Wheaton:

“All my favorite audiobooks are always done by an actor who brings the story to life, and I always had Wil Wheaton in mind, because of Stand By Me and Next Generation. I love Wil’s writing too. He used to write a column—for the Onion, I think—called ‘Games of Our Lives,’ where he would review old Atari games, and they’re just hysterical. … [Ready Player One] has become one of the bestselling audiobooks in history, because of his performance. He brings all the characters to life, and he does the Pac-Man sounds, and I just got to finish listening to him doArmada this past weekend, and it’s amazing. Once again, he does Patrick Stewart impressions and videogame sounds, and also just brings my characters to life. There’s one conversation where he’s doing eight different voices at once and jumping in and out of different characters. It’s just amazing.”

Mysterious Object in Giza Pyramid Found By New Thermal Scan (Video)

Mysterious Object in Giza Pyramid Found By New Thermal Scan (Video)

(Before It's News)

Two weeks of new thermal scanning in Egypt’s Giza pyramids have identified anomalies in the 4,500 year-old burial structures, including a major one in the largest pyramid, the Antiquities Ministry announced Monday

B4INREMOTE-aHR0cDovLzEuYnAuYmxvZ3Nwb3QuY29tLy1lWXlDcFBjMFZkYy9Wa0hCZ2t0Z0NDSS9BQUFBQUFBQU9OQS9xSG8xQWdLZjVjOC9zNjQwL2dpemElMkJweXJhbWlkJTI1MkMlMkJhbmNpZW50JTI1MkMlMkJteXN0ZXJ5JTJCb2JqZWN0LmpwZw==

The scanning showed “a particularly impressive anomaly located on the Eastern side of the Khufu pyramid at ground level,” the ministry said in a statement.

While inspecting the area, they found something like a small passage in the ground, leading up to the pyramids ground, reaching an area that shows three particular stones with higher temperatures.

What will be behind it?

Physical Harm From A Close Encounter In Tennessee

Physical Harm From A Close Encounter In Tennessee

(Before It's News)

ARTICLE TRIANGLE EDIT KEN PFEIFER 11-10-15
PHYSICAL HARM FROM A CLOSE ENCOUNTER IN TENNESSEE
 .
OCTOBER 2, 2004    …………. BRISTOL TENNESSEE
 
Witness reported that at 05:30 hours this morning he was driving home when he noted what first appeared to be a fire on a ridge nearby. As he drove, he got closer to the “fire” and realized that it was not a fire at all but a series of three reddish orange lights affixed to the bottom of a huge triangular object.  He neared an intersection and exited his car to watch the metallic craft as it approached from the north and moving directly toward him. He noted his fear and started to run from his car but realized that there was nowhere to go.
As the giant object passed overhead, it blocked out all the stars and he estimated the size to be some 300 feet in length.  The bottom of the craft was somewhat illuminated from the three flame-like, symmetrical appendages on the bottom and he described what appeared to be “ribs” running across the bottom of the object.  As it passed directly overhead, he was exposed to something which seemed to reverberate through his body. He stated that he felt many sensations all at once, but no description could be found for what he actually felt. He also noted the object made a pulsating/drumming-like noise which also passed throughout his body.  The object passed him and suddenly turned west, without banking and moved behind nearby hills.
At this time MUFON Tennessee has determined that the possibility exists that this witness may have been injured by this “CE-2″, or close encounter case. Witness has reported a metallic taste in his mouth today and nose bleeds. This may or may not be related to this close encounter.
 
Update: This preliminary report will be revised and edited as information becomes available.  Remember, this is only the preliminary findings and must be investigated fully before any determinations are made.  It should be also noted that this witness is a MUFON member and 100% honest and trustworthy.

UPDATE! 10-04-04 :  Witness visited Shaffer for an interview. He is sick, his face and back are slightly burned, his hair is falling out. He had a nose-bleed and has a metallic taste in his mouth.  He wants to go to the emergency room but does not know what to tell them happened to him. I fear he may have been exposed to some kind of exotic radiation.

UPDATE! 10-06-04 :  Today DR Mel Redfern, DCH (my assistant state director for MUFON TN) and myself conducted a more in depth interview of the witness in the Oct 2nd triangle sighting case. It now appears that this is a missing time case as well, noting that the witness admitted that his watch had lost 15 minutes (at least) and that it is a fairly dependable watch prior to the event and afterwards, having never lost any time before.  The medical condition seems to have improved for now as his face and back are no longer burning like they were and his lethargic state seems to have passed. He has suffered no more nosebleeds or after effects. The case will be ongoing until all aspects have addressed fully. Keeping you updated, Kim Shaffer MUFON TN SD and UFORA member.

#UFO Conspiracy Follows Naval Missile Launch

#UFO Conspiracy Follows Naval Missile Launch

People look at the night sky using night vision goggles during an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) tour in the desert outside Sedona, Arizona February 14, 2013.
Picture taken February 14, 2013. MIKE BLAKE/REUTERS

West Coast skygazers and revelers looking up into the heavens on Saturday night may have seen something a bit supernatural: a strange radiant light beaming through the night sky, stretching across the entire Golden State and as far east as Arizona.

Speculation started orbiting on the Internet immediately, with photos and videos trending under the hashtag #UFO. People began calling authorities, wanting answers. Could it be aliens? A celestial, cataclysmic occurrence? A sign of end times?

Neither, it seems. As The San Diego Union-Tribune reports, the beam was caused by a Navy submarine that had shot off an unarmed missile. The Navy Strategic Systems Program fired off the missile as part of a routine test, according to a spokesperson. In a statement, Third Fleet Commander Ryan Perry said: “Each test activity provides valuable information about our systems, thus contributing to assurance in our capabilities.”

No word on whether the missile test was related to the scheduled rerouting of nighttime flights leaving and arriving at Los Angeles International Airport this week. According to Reuters, night flights are being rerouted from LAX because the military has activated airspace just west of the airport for the next week.

The Federal Aviation Administration did not immediately return a request for comment.

Some witnesses to the fantastical event thought that it may have been part of the Taurid meteor shower, which happens annually. But experts shot down that idea, saying the light would have been coming from a different direction. So, UFO hopefuls, looks like you’ll just have to watch some more X-Files re-runs.

Nick Jonas convinced UFOs are REAL as he reveals his own strange encounter

Nick Jonas convinced UFOs are REAL as he reveals his own strange encounter

The hunky singer said he "can't wait" to get back to LA and go on the hunt for more sightings

Nick Jonas believes UFOs are real and has even had an unusual experience with flying saucers.

The Jealous singer was on This Morning where he told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield he was convinced of their existence.

After Holly asked him what makes him so sure he revealed his own strange encounter: "This was probably eight years ago, I was in my backyard in LA. I looked up in the sky and there was three flying saucers.

Nick Jonas tells all about his strange encounter Phil and Holly laughed over Nick's enthusiasm in his search for UFOs

"I looked at my friend and said 'Are you seeing this or am I losing my mind?'. He was seeing the same thing.

"I went online and there were three identical sightings two weeks before. There was me my friend and a bunch of people in LA that all saw it."

Phillip was more than a little skeptical at Nick's story, but Holly was eager for the hunky pop star to do some more digging for them.

He said: "To me that blue light freaks me out in the best way possible, I'm really excited to get back to LA. I leave in a couple of hours and I'm going to try and find the UFO!"

Nick was planning on getting back to LA to look out for the UFO

The presenters had been looking at footage that appeared to show a bright light streaking across the sky in LA, causing people to freak out over the potential UFO sighting.

According to the United States Navy, the light, which was visible for hundreds of miles, was simply an unarmed missile-test fired from a submarine off the coast of California.

But that didn't stop a social media frenzy with Khloe Kardashian commenting and David Duchovny using it as a perfect opportunity to promote the return of the X Files.

Professor Brian Cox Suggests 'Aliens' Could Use KIC Star System To Power Their Civilisation

Professor Brian Cox Suggests 'Aliens' Could Use KIC Star System To Power Their Civilisation

Brian Cox has theorised that "an advanced alien civilisation" could be responsible for the bizarre behaviour of the KIC star that sent the internet into meltdown a few weeks ago.

In an interview with BBC Radio 6’s breakfast show, he used the Dyson sphere theory to explain why it would not be "horrendously surprising" to think that the star might be powering another civilisation.

Experts from the SETI Institute have also shed light on the star's behaviour, explaining, via a statement, that it is "quite likely due to nature and not aliens."

"It is a thing called the Dyson sphere, which is where an ultra-advanced civilisation basically surrounds their whole star in a sphere of solar panels, which would get every last bit of energy from the star, so they could build their big space-faring interstellar civilisation," Professor Cox told BBC Radio 6.

SEE ALSO:

"I emphasise, it probably isn’t solar panels, but it’s data that isn’t explained at the moment and it wouldn’t be horrendously surprising if it turned out there was an advanced alien civilisation there that was way ahead of us and had built some big solar panels. I wouldn’t go “that’s impossible”, it isn’t."

However, SETI Institute experts studying the star system published data ruling out aliens as the reason behind the odd light dimming patterns.

Using the Allen Telescope Array, scientists looked for two different types of signals narrow-band and broad-band.

The narrow-band signals are the most frequently sought after in SETI experiments, while broad-band signals could indicated whether "astro-engineering projects" are taking place near the star, SETI Institute stated.

“The history of astronomy tells us that every time we thought we had found a phenomenon due to the activities of extraterrestrials, we were wrong,” said Seth Shostak, an astronomer for the Institute.

“But although it’s quite likely that this star’s strange behavior is due to nature, not aliens, it’s only prudent to check such things out.”

WETENSCHAP De planeet Mars is een van zijn manen in stukken aan het scheuren. Op het oppervlak van Phobos staan lange breuklijnen. Die vormen het begin van het einde. Waarschijnlijk heeft de maan nog dertig tot vijftig miljoen jaar te leven, voor ruimtebegrippen vrij kort.

Phobos staat maar 6.000 kilometer van Mars. Ter vergelijking: onze maan staat ruim 360.000 kilometer van de aarde, zestig keer zo ver. Mars trekt Phobos naar zich toe, met ongeveer 2 meter per eeuw. "We denken dat Phobos al uit elkaar valt. Het eerste teken daarvan zijn deze scheuren", verklaarde de ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA vandaag.

Phobos is ongeveer 11 kilometer in doorsnee. De maan bestaat van binnen uit rotsblokken, omgeven door een laag poeder van ongeveer 100 meter dik.

Triton, een van de manen van Neptunus, heeft dezelfde scheuren en wordt ook langzaam naar zijn planeet getrokken. Over een paar miljard jaar zal ook die maan vergaan, verwachten wetenschappers.

Rivier stroomde lang geleden door Sahara - HLN.be

Rivier stroomde lang geleden door Sahara - HLN.be

De Sahara, een van de droogste en onhergbergzaamste plaatsen op aarde, was niet altijd de exclusieve habitat van kamelen, dromedarissen en schorpioenen. Uit een nieuwe studie van een Frans wetenschappelijk team blijkt dat duizenden jaren geleden een immense rivier door de woestijn kronkelde. Dat staat deze week te lezen in het vakblad Nature Communications.

Een Japanse satelliet die in staat is door de hoge duinen van de grootste zandwoestijn ter wereld te turen, ontdekte een oude rivierbedding van ongeveer 500 kilometer lang in de dorre gebieden van het noordwesten van Afrika.

Een groot deel van de Sahara is dermate droog en warm dat er zo goed als geen leven in mogelijk is. Maar dat was niet altijd zo: ongeveer 10.000 jaar geleden zwierven dieren door de graslanden, gevolgd door mensen die rotstekeningen achtergelaten hebben, waarop onder meer giraffen te zien zijn.

De wetenschappen kunnen niet exact zeggen wanneer de rivier nog door het gebied vloeide, maar men denkt ongeveer aan 12.000 tot 5.000 jaar geleden. In die periode viel zoveel regen in het nu zo dorre gebied, dat het ook bekendstaat als de "groene Sahara".

Dat zachte klimaat creëerde een groen landschap, "vol leven, vol mensen, dieren en meren", zeggen experts.

NASA perplex door mysterieuze patronen van 8.000 jaar oud in Kazachstan - HLN.be

NASA perplex door mysterieuze patronen van 8.000 jaar oud in Kazachstan - HLN.be

Bron: The Independent

media_xll_8128006.jpg© NASA.

NASA heeft een reeks satellietbeelden vrijgegeven van gigantische patronen in Kazachstan. De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie hoopt het mysterie van de enorme structuren op de grond via luchtfoto's eindelijk te kunnen oplossen. Dat meldt The Independent.

Lees ook

Er zijn zo'n 260 'tekeningen' aangetroffen in de steppe van Kazachstan. Wetenschappers hebben er momenteel geen idee van hoe de immense formaties, ook wel geogliefen genoemd, ontstonden. Het zijn inkervingen en hoopjes aarde die samen een geheel vormen. De oudste tekeningen zijn naar schatting 8.000 jaar oud.

De patronen werden in 2007 voor het eerst gespot via Google Earth door een Kazachse enthousiasteling. Nadat Dmitriy Dey naar een tv-programma over piramides op Discovery Channel had gekeken, wilde hij onderzoeken of er ook in Kazachstan dergelijke constructies bestonden. Toen ontdekte hij de vreemde structuren. 

Ondanks dat men nu al tien jaar van hun bestaan afweet, heeft de Kazachse overheid weinig ondernomen om ze aan nader onderzoek te onderwerpen. NASA opent nu de jacht om het raadsel te ontrafelen.

De satellietbeelden die de ruimtevaartorganisatie voor het eerst liet maken, moeten helpen om de patronen te catalogeren. Het gebied waar de formaties zich situeren, werd tijdens het stenen tijdperk aangedaan door stammen die er wilden jagen. Maar wetenschappers gingen er vroeger vanuit dat die toenmalige populatie niet de tijd had om dergelijke structuren te bouwen of uit te graven. Misschien moet die denkwijze grondig worden herbekeken. 

Het is vooralsnog onduidelijk of de geogliefen een vroege kunstvorm waren of een praktische functie hadden. Sommigen speculeren dat de structuren werden gebruikt om de zon te observeren, op dezelfde manier zoals dat gebeurde in Stonehenge. De tijd zal uitwijzen of de patronen hun geheimen op termijn volledig prijsgeven.

These are a fleet of UFOs hiding inside of their self made clouds. Its a well known fact that UFOs have been recorded (US military record) creating clouds around themselves in just under 1 minute. 


Back in 1957 a solider at Fort Belvoir recorded such an incident. Click here to view his photos. Just clouds...LOL, I think not. 


My biggest UFO sighting was 20 years ago when I was in Rapid City, SD. It was 25+ 727 size Glowing UFOs at noon, traveling down cloud tunnels that started over our parking lot and disappeared over the horizon. I got to see the UFOs begin their journey. They used four side by side cloud tunnels to hide in.

News states:

(CNN) If the lights seen on Saturday night in Los Angeles weren't enough, another brilliant show was seen in the skies above Cape Town, South Africa the next day. Residents of Cape Town saw brilliant and beautiful cloud formations in the daytime sky on Sunday. Just like Los Angelenos, some compared what they saw to UFOs.
"There were just these massive UFO type clouds and they became more defined as time passed," said Monique Jackson. (More at source).

A new anomaly was discovered in a scan of a pyramid in Egypt this week. This anomaly is three very energy filled objects at the bottom of the pyramid. This could be the evidence we need to prove that it was created by ancient aliens and that they pyramid is more that a spectacle to look at.

News states:

Weeks of scanning the Pyramids of Giza has begun to pay off, new impressive anomalies were found by Egypt’s Antiquities Ministry announced Monday. Antiquities Minister Mamdouh el-Damaty and technical experts working on the project showed the higher temperature being detected in three specific adjacent stones at the bottom of the pyramid in a live thermal camera presentation to journalists. The scanning showed “a particularly impressive one (anomaly) located on the Eastern side of the Khufu pyramid at ground level,” the ministry said in a statement. The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and the only one to remain largely intact.

Sure this one is short, but the detail is really good. The cloaked UFO is moving over traffic, but is accidentally seen when the reflection of the streetlights below it cause trouble with the cloak. For a cloak to work, light source needs to be behind it. If its both, it will be revealed. Click here for video.

New states:

A six-second video clip taken near downtown Houston shows some unexplained white lights that many commenters attributed to a UFO. A Twitter post from Monday evening included the video taken from southbound Interstate 45, approaching downtown. The account holder, @lm_Raddd, said he was taking a picture of the railroad bridge that displays the painted message, "Be Someone," and didn't notice the strange lights until a couple hours later. I thought that was a person in a parachute at first but then wtf would they be doing by I-45 Whether the comments, particularly the worried shrieks in all caps, are serious is a matter of interpretation, but the odd appearance at least got a lot of people's attention. Some commenters attributed the lights to a reflection of the car's speedometer or a building on the skyline.

Who Built the Great Sphinx of Egypt 800,000 years ago? A look inside Pre-Pharaonic Egypt

Who Built the Great Sphinx of Egypt 800,000 years ago? A look inside Pre-Pharaonic Egypt

According to a study 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 enigmatic and mysterious Sphinx of Egypt is around 800,000 years old. This fact raises more question than answers and proves we have very little knowledge about our actual history which has proven to be far more mysterious and surprising than what mainstream scholars suggested. The Great Sphinx of Egypt is an ancient construction that has baffled researchers ever since its discovery and until today, no one has been able to accurately date the Sphinx, since there are no written records or mentions in the past about it.

According to the authors of the paper, arguments based upon geological studies suggest the enigmatic monument predates everything we know about Ancient Egypt and history. Manichev Vjacheslav I. and Alexander G. Parkhomenko focus on the deteriorated aspect of the body of the Sphinx, leaving aside the erosive features where the Sphinx is located, which had been studied previously by other authors and researchers. Manichev and Parkhomenko firmly believe that the Sphinx had to be submerged for a long time under water and, to support this hypothesis, they point towards existing literature of geological studies of the Giza Plateau. According to these studies at the end of the Pliocene geologic period (between 5.2 and 1.6 million years ago), seawater entered the Nile valley and gradually creating flooding in the area. This led to formation of lacustrine deposits which are at the mark of 180 m above the present level of the Mediterranean Sea.

Great Sphinxc 800000 years old -  Ancient Code

This mysterious dating of the Sphinx forces to ask many questions that many people will embrace skeptically. If the Sphinx is in fact 800,000 years old as the geological study suggest, who built the enigmatic monument nearly one million year ago? Are we looking at evidence that points to the existence of an unknown civilization to history? Is it possible that an ancient advanced civilization inhabited the Giza Plateau in the distant past, before the ‘creation’ of the ancient Egyptian civilization? And if this civilization did develop on the shores of today’s River Nile… Is it possible than other advanced civilization developed elsewhere on our planet hundreds of thousands of years ago? A time in our history where mainstream scholars suggest people were still living in caves.

Obviously there is something wrong with our views on history and prehistory. There are numerous enigmatic findings that firmly push against the mainstream views and theories of today’s historians and scholars.

So who could have built the incredible ancient monument when History is telling us that people were still living in caves…?

This majestic monument was carved from a single block of stone, yet there are no written documents that could tell us much about its origin or purpose. The only “written” evidence that exists from ancient times about the sphinx is that of Greek historian and geographer Herodotus, who does not mention that the pharaohs of the fourth dynasty (Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure) were the builders of the Sphinx, nor the Pyramids of Giza.

According to Edgar Cayce, the ‘other’ Nostradamus, the Great Sphinx of Egypt is much older than mainstream researchers suggest, and is closely related to Atlantis, one of the most searched-for ancient civilizations. According to a vision of Cayce, deep inside the enigmatic figure of the Sphinx, a library of great knowledge can be found.  Details and texts that contain valuable information about the lost continent of Atlantis, what happened there at the time the Sphinx was built, and chronicles about the destruction of the continent? Even though Cayce ‘theory’ was never proven to be true, numerous findings made by researchers in the past point towards the fact that Cayce was wrong in his vision.

Is it possible that the Great Sphinx was in fact built by the ‘lost’ civilization of Atlantis? And if the great Sphinx is product of their incredible masonry skills, what about the Pyramid of the Giza Plateau? Is it possible that these incredible monuments are also the product of a civilization that predates the ancient Egyptian civilization?

According to writings on the ‘Inventory Stella’:

 “Long live The King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Khufu, given life
He found the house of Isis, Mistress of the Pyramid, by the side of the hollow of Hwran (The Sphinx)
and he built his pyramid beside the temple of this goddess and he built a pyramid for the King’s daughter Henutsen beside this temple.

The place of Hwran Horemakhet is on the South side of the House of Isis, Mistress of the pyramid
He restored the statue, all covered in painting, of the guardian of the atmosphere, who guides the winds with his gaze.

He replaced the back part of the Nemes head-dress, which was missing with gilded stone
The figure of this god, cut in stone, is solid and will last to eternity, keeping its face looking always to the East”

In the Book the Dawn of Civilization, Maspero says: “… the Sphinx could have existed since the days of the” followers of Horus “, a race of predynastic and semi-divine beings, which, according to beliefs of the ancient Egyptians had ruled thousands of years before the Pharaohs of Egypt”. (source)

The Ancient Egyptians viewed the origins of their civilization in an alternative view very different to our views of their civilization today. They believed that thousands of years before Pharaohs ruled over the land of Egypt divine beings ruled the land and to support their views we can look at the royal canon displayed at the museum of Egyptology in Turin, Italy. The ancient text, written in hieroglyphics presents a list of all the Pharaohs who ruled the land of Ancient Egypt. On that list we can see the historical Pharaohs and those that are considered as “divine”, Pharaohs that came from ‘elsewhere’ and ruled before the first dynasty of Menes, a preceding lineage that ruled for over 13,000 years.

The fact that we now know that the Great Sphinx of Egypt is far older than previously thought takes us to another journey where we have to question the historical facts about ancient Egypt and its enigmatic rulers. Our knowledge of Pre-Pharaonic Egypt has been a great enigma for historians and scholars and it is still a mystery as to what really happened during the mysterious period in history prior to 3000 BC, where we see the ‘first’ Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt known as Menes-NArmer.  After that, in the next couple of decades Ancient Egypt blossomed as a civilization with surprising feats and knowledge displaying perfect writing, building incredible temples and proving their incredible knowledge in astronomy, mathematics and other sciences.

English Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson said “They seem to have no ancestors or periods of development, they seem to have appeared overnight.” (source)

But many others had very interesting things to say about the enigmatic period of time in Ancient Egypt. Gaston Maspero (1846-1916) said:  “The religion and the texts which made it known to us were already established before the first dynasty. In order to understand them it is up to us to put ourselves in the frame of mind of the people who constructed them, more than seven thousand years ago.” (Revue de l’Histoire des Religions, vol. XIX, p.12) (source) (source)

What do we know about Ancient Egypt, the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx? It seems that the more we know the less we understand, and I believe in order to fully process all the information that ancient texts are providing us, we need to change the way we look at history and prehistory, only then will we be able to understand the truth behind one of the most enigmatic ancient civilizations in history and their heritage to society.

Egypt before Pharaohs: When Gods ruled the Earth

Egypt before Pharaohs: When Gods ruled the Earth

  • According to Plutarch: “Ra departed to the heavens and Osiris became pharaoh of Egypt with Isis and they built Thebes [the present Luxor]”.

Have you ever wondered about Pre-Pharaonic Egypt and its rulers, not according to mainstream scholars but according to ancient texts written thousands of years ago? In Ancient Egypt, long before the first ‘mortal’ Pharaoh known as Menes-Narmer ruled over the lands of Egypt there were other kings, deities and  “those who came from above” who ruled over the land known as Egypt today. This time in history, the pre-pharaonic period remains as a great enigma for most scholars and Egyptologist, mostly because they cannot accept that what is written since it goes directly against the beliefs of most historians, archaeologists and Egyptologists. The time before 3000 BC, the date when the first official Pharaoh appeared in Egypt is a great enigma.

Egypt Alien Gods Ancient Code

It is not a secret that the ancient Egyptians consider their civilization as the legacy of Gods who came not from Earth but from elsewhere in the cosmos, and Pre-Pharaonic Egypt seems to filmy back up this theory.

One of the most important ancient texts that can tell us more about this time in history is the Papyrus of Turin which lists all the Pharaohs who ruled over Ancient Egypt.

Not only does this list include all of the ‘official’ historic Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, it also includes the deities or “Gods” who came from above and reigned over the lands of Egypt before the first mortal Pharaoh of Egypt with a lineage that spreads over 13,000 years. It is a great enigma why mainstream scholars consider this ancient text as pure myth and why most details of the ancient text have been overlooked and omitted from the history books.

“They seem to have no ancestors or periods of development, they seem to have appeared overnight.” – English Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson (source)

There are some researchers who believe that by calculating the decrypted information obtained from the papyrus of Turin, we obtain the initial period, referred to as the kingdom of Ptah, creator and first ruler of ancient Egypt, dating back 39,000 years.

Egyptology, and the official historiography tells us that everything to the pre-dynastic era is regarded as a myth, without much historical value.

The Palermo stele is another incredible ancient text that mentioned the pre-dynastic rulers of Ancient Egypt. This ancient Stele even makes reference to Egyptian God Horus, suggesting that he was a physical ruler of the Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. Another Egyptian God, Thoth is said to have reigned over the lands of Ancient Egypt from 8670 to 7100 BC. Interestingly, Egyptian High Pries Manetho, who had access to unlimited ancient texts from the Ancient Library of Alexandria, and who wrote for the Pharaoh the history of Ancient Egypt in 30 volumes makes reference to the divine beings that ruled during Pre-Pharaonic Egypt. (source)

If you look at today’s Egyptologists, you will find out that they too make use of Manetho’s dating considering it as a very reliable tool when studying the officially recognized dynasties, yet for some mysterious reason, the same Egyptologists have decided to avoid anything related to Pre-historic dynasties, carefully selecting certain details and adopting them as their own while rejecting anything that does not fit into their view of history.

Manetho is considered as the father of Egyptology by many scholars today

There are two differnet views on Ancient Egyptian History. The one Accepted by scholars and that denied by the same. Image credit: httpwww.hdwallpapersonly.com There are two different views on Ancient Egyptian History. The one Accepted by scholars and that denied by the same. Image credit: httpwww.hdwallpapersonly.com

We can trace back the rulers of Egypt in a series of ancient “Royal Lists”. The Royal List of Abydos for example, located on the wall of the Temple of Sethos I in Abydos offers us a chronological order of seventy-six rulers of ancient Egypt that range from Menes to Sethos I. In addition to this list we have the Royal List of Karnak which can be found in Louvre, which has sixty-one rulers, ranging from Menes to Tuthmoisis III. These two list offer us insight into the tradition of Upper Egypt. The Royal list of Sakkara displays forty-seven kings previous to, and including, Ramses II. (source)

More important than any of the above mentioned is the Turin Papyrus: This ancient text written in hieratic on the verso of the papyrus, with accounts of the time of Ramesses II. on the recto (which gives the approximate date, c. 1200 B.C.). In its original state the papyrus must have been an artistically beautiful exemplar, as the script is an exceptionally fine one. It contains the names of kings in order, over 300 when complete, with the length of each reign in years, months, and days ; and as the definitive edition of the papyrus has not yet been issued, further study is expected to yield additional results.^ The papyrus begins, like Manetho, with the dynasties of gods, followed by mortal kings also in dynasties. The change of dynasty is noted, and the sum of the reigns is given: also, as in Manetho, several dynasties are added together, e.g. ” Sum of the Kings from Menes to [Unas] ” at the end of Dynasty V. The arrangement in the papyrus is very similar to that in the Epitome of Manetho. (source)

Manetho provides us with a number of interesting details about the so-called “divine” rulers of Ancient egypt and their dynasties which he divides into three different categories: The Gods, Heroes and “Manes” but many other authors, Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, and Syncellus speak of a lineage of Gods who reigned on Earth for a total of 36,600 years. After this period of rule come the mortal Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.

Was Akhenaten a real-life Alien who ruled over Egypt? Here is what you need to know about him:

Was Akhenaten a real-life Alien who ruled over Egypt? Here is what you need to know about him:

20 Facts about Akhenaten

richard-nowitz-statue-of-pharaoh-akhenaten-also-known-as-amenhotep-iv-164077.jpg

Akhenaten was one of ancient Egypt’s most influential and controversial pharaohs. He is considered as one of the world’s most important religious innovators. He was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty and he was the father of  Tutankhamun, husband to Queen Nefertiti.

Don’t forget to check out our article ” Akhenaten, the heretic Pharaoh” Here are some interesting facts about this controversial Pharaoh.

  1. He was a Pharaoh of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt and ruled for 17 years.
  2. Akhenaten was known as the “great heretic”.
  3. Known before as Amenhotep IV, he changed his name to Akhenaten to reflect his close link with the new supreme deity.
  4. Akhenaten was married to Queen Nefertiti, one of the most famous of all ancient Egyptian women.
  5. Nefertiti was one of the most influential queens. Paintings show here conducting religious ceremonies with Akhenaten as an equal.
  6. Nefertiti’s mummy was never found. Archaeologist June Fletcher claimed she found Nefertiti’s badly-mutilated mummy in a side chamber of the Tomb of Amenhotep II in the Valley of the Kings. Most scholars are not convinced.
  7. Akhenaten elevated Nefertiti to divine status. Scholars suggest that she may have been only 12 when married to Akhenaten.
  8. Akhenaten halted foreign military campaigns and dramatically scaled down Egypt’s military defenses.
  9. He is noted for abandoning traditional Egyptian polytheism and introducing worship centered on the Aten.
  10. Akhenaten claimed, “There is only one god, my father. I can approach him by day, by night.”
  11. Akhenaten could have been the first monotheist in all of history.
  12.  According to Egyptian Mythology he descended from the gods who arrived on Earth at the time of Tep Zepi.
  13. Even today people still believe that this Pharaoh did in fact come from “The Stars”.
  14. Akhenaten, upon becoming Pharaoh ordered all the, the iconography of previous gods to be removed.
  15. According to writings by Akhenaten and poems that were written about him later on, he was visited by beings that descended from the sky, these beings told Akhenaten what he needed to do and how he needed to rule over his people.
  16. Akhenaten claimed to be a direct descendant of Aten and regarded himself to be divine, he was a God, but not only did he believe himself to be a god, the whole nation worshiped him like one.
  17. Akhenaten ordered the construction of a new capital city which he called Amarna and he dedicated it to the sun.
  18. Akhenaten instituted changes in art and culture and on of the most notable changes were how he would be publicly depicted, not as a strong “untouchable” Pharaoh, but as he really was, “weak” , elongated skull, long neck, sunken eyes, thick thighs, long fingers, backward-turned knee joints a potbelly and female-like breasts.
  19. After his reign the city of  Amarna was abandoned and temples to the sun were destroyed, images of Akhenaten were deliberately defaced.
  20. In 1907, the actual body of Akhenaten was discovered in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings by British archaeologist Edward Ayrton.

The Mystery of the Nine Unknown Men

gray_dark_council_hooded_robed_abstract_figures_hd-wallpaper-746000

The Mystery of the Nine Unknown Men

Humankind has always had a sort of fascination with the idea of secret societies. From the Freemasons to the Illuminati, there is a certain allure to the idea that behind the scenes of our everyday life there are powerful forces at work pulling the strings, privy to knowledge beyond our mainstream understanding, and with access to ancient secrets beyond our wildest dreams. They operate just under the surface of our civilization, their motives and aims enigmatic and inscrutable, working towards ends that we may never fully understand. One such alleged secret society concerns a shadowy group of nine mysterious men, formed in ancient India and charged with guarding ancient secrets and protecting us from the potentially destructive knowledge which we manage to glean from the mysteries of the universe. Operating in secrecy, they are spread throughout the world, silently watching and accruing ever more potent secrets, all the while hidden from our view. These are the Nine Unknown Men.

It was 237 BC and a bloody war was waging. India was under the reign of Emperor Asoka, a merciless and cruel military king who desired nothing more than to lay waste to all in his path, and was indeed the first to truly unify the country in the wake of the Maurya dynasty, the brutal plundering of Mahmud of Ghazni, and the more than three centuries of rule under the Moguls. Such was his potent all encompassing rule that H.G. Wells once wrote of Asoka in his book Outline of World History, “Among the tens of thousands of names of monarchs accumulated in the files of history, the name of Asoka shines almost alone, like a star.” In this particular harrowing battle, Emperor Asoka was in the midst of trying to conquer the region of Kalinga, which lay between what is now Calcutta and Madras, a task which was expected to be an easy defeat but which resulted in the brutal slaughter of over 100,000 men, many killed in a senseless orgy of blood and massacres. The sight of the horrors of war and the ruthless mass killing of so many men took its toll on Asoka, and the once coldblooded emperor realized the horrors of all of the bloodshed.

In the aftermath of the massacres of Kalinga, haunted by the display of so many men brutally slain and the sight of so many smoldering homes and rotting corpses, Emperor Asoka decided to renounce the idea of trying to violently subjugate others, rather opting for a system of winning over the people through the observance of the laws of duty and piety; to integrate rather than destroy. He converted to Buddhism, and went about spreading this system of beliefs throughout the land, from Malaya, Ceylon and Indonesia, to Nepal, Tibet, China and Mongolia, even going so far in his desire to avoid blood that he preached vegetarianism and the avoidance of the slaughter of animals. Emperor Asoka also realized at the time that humankind was apt to use intelligence, as well as to put scientific and technological knowledge to evil use for the purpose of destruction. He vowed to create a way in which all manner of technological secrets and discoveries of mankind would be kept protected from the gaze of those who would use them for the purposes of annihilation and death, in order to protect mankind from those who would use scientific knowledge to put it into peril and bring about the downfall of all society.

To this end, he formed a secret society tasked with keeping the accumulated knowledge which could be used for destruction safe from those who would misuse it, and to further pursue research and knowledge that would benefit mankind instead of destroy it. It was Emperor Asoka’s desire that all new technology be hidden away forever from those who would use it to nefarious ends. Thus was the Nine Unknown Men born. Nine trusted disciples of science were chosen and each entrusted with a book containing all of mankind’s accumulated and ever growing knowledge in a certain field, which the holder of the book would add to, revise and perfect, and this duty would be passed down to the select chosen throughout the ensuing centuries. Some accounts even go as far as to suggest The Nine have unlocked the secrets of immortality and retain their position for eternity. There were to always be nine of them, no more and no less, and they were to remain obscured from the world at large and to avoid any and all dealings with politics or mainstream science, instead opting to remain hidden in the shadows. In order to conceal their communications, the Nine Unknown Men were said to speak in a synthetic language of their own devising and which was incomprehensible to anyone but themselves. They would serve as keepers and guardians of this hidden knowledge contained within the ever expanding books and observers of the world around them, to witness the rise and fall of whole civilizations yet to never interfere or play an active role in any of it except perhaps in times when mankind was in dire need of help.

The subjects of these nine mysterious books vary wildly, and cover a range of disciplines and knowledge, much of which we still do not possess today and would have been certainly unheard of at the time. The first deals with techniques of propaganda and psychological warfare, the science of manipulating mass opinions and sculpting the attitudes of society at large, which has long been thought to be among the most dangerous of sciences. The second deals with the subject of human physiology, an equally dangerous field outlining such things as how to create poisons, kill more efficiently, ways to manipulate pressure points, and indeed how to kill with a mere touch. The third book delves into the area of microbiology, with its vast potential to create and manipulate microbes that could save or wipeout mankind, as well as more beneficial microbes for medicinal purposes or purification. Some legends hold that the Ganges River is purified with microbes designed by the Nine Unknown Men with the use of this book. The fourth book is on the subject of alchemy, namely the transmutation of metals, a power which is used to explain the sudden influx of gold to some temples around the country from an unknown source in times of need. The fifth book delves into the subject of communication, strangely supposedly including methods for which to communicate with extraterrestrials, which would have been a fairly high concept notion in 237 BC at the least, and would suggest they knew of alien intelligences. The sixth book is all about the secrets of gravity, including the ways in which to make anti-gravity aircraft called Vimana, which are persistent in Indian myth throughout history and are sometimes called ancient UFOs of India. In the seventh book there is said to be a vast, exhaustive amount of information on cosmology and the workings of the universe, including allegedly the secrets of faster than light travel, how to bend space and time, travel between dimensions, and by some accounts even time travel. The eighth book is said to be about the nature of light, including increasing or decreasing its speed, bending it to one’s will, and using it to create weapons such as lasers. The ninth and final book is about sociology, and is said to include the immutable rules of the rise and fall of civilizations, as well as the secrets of how to predict the decline of society, and how to stop it or hasten it.

Although the knowledge of these books is supposedly kept totally secret from mankind, over the centuries there are said to have been leaks, which have gone on to account for a number of innovations throughout history. For instance, it is said that the secret of aeronautics and flight, using radiation to sterilize objects as well as produce the atomic bomb, pressure points or techniques used in various martial arts, and numerous medical breakthroughs, among others, were all the result of information from the nine books somehow leaking out or being released into the outside world. Indeed it has long been believed that the Nine Unknown Men intentionally release tidbits of information from their books on occassion in order to help mankind in times of great need, with such gifts from the mysterious cabal being allegedly the vaccines for cholera and plague. They are also said to sometimes reveal themselves to those who they deem to be wise and worthy in order to share portions of the secrets and information they have gathered over the centuries.

ashoka nine-red

One notable case of knowledge from the alleged nine books seeping out into the world can be seen in the case of Pope Sylvester II, who was born as Gerbert d’Aurillac in 920 and was a Benedictine monk, a professor at the University of Rheims, the Archbishop of Ravenna, and Pope by the grace of Otho III. Pope Sylvester II spent some time in Spain before taking a trip to India for unknown reasons. Upon his return, he was said to have brought with him a variety of knowledge that was well ahead of its time and which puzzled those around him. Perhaps the most well-known of these displays of knowledge can be found in the story of bronze head constructed by the Pope in his palace, which purportedly had the ability to answer yes or no questions asked of it on a wide range of subjects and which absolutely astounded those who saw it in operation. Sylvester II claimed that it was merely a simple mechanical automaton akin to a primitive robot, but to those who saw it it was like magic. This was just one of the many astounding gadgets well ahead of their time that Sylvester II would construct over the years upon his return from India and it has often been speculated that he gained this knowledge somehow from one of the books of the Nine Unknown Men. Unfortunately, we will never know how the talking head worked or indeed whether it ever existed at all, because it was supposedly disassembled and destroyed when Sylvester II died, as were all of his other wondrous inventions. The talking bronze head and Sylvester’s vast technical knowledge were mentioned in a 1954 issue of Computers and Automation, in which it says:

  • We must suppose that he (Sylvester) was possessed of extraordinary knowledge and the most remarkable mechanical skill and inventiveness. This speaking head must have been fashioned ’under a certain conjunction of stars occurring at the exact moment when all the planets were starting on their courses.’ Neither the past, nor the present nor the future entered into it, since this invention apparently far exceeded in its scope its rival, the perverse ’mirror on the wall’ of the Queen, the precursor of our modern electronic brain. Naturally, it was widely asserted that Gerbert was only able to produce such a machine because he was in league with the Devil and had sworn eternal allegiance to him.

Sylvester II is not the only one thought to have allegedly had some sort of contact with the Nine Unknown Men, and indeed others throughout history have been said to have been privy to their information, or to perhaps even been members amongst them. Some of the theorized names associated with gaining this secret knowledge are one of the most important figures in India’s space program, Vikram Sarabhai, as well as Jagdish Chandra Bose, who is considered to be one of the pioneering forces behind the rise of science in India, and the French chemist and microbiologist Louise Pasteur. In all of these cases, the innovations and genius they are known for were said to have been heavily influenced and informed by the secret knowledge kept by the Nine Unknown Men.

In modern times, the popularization of the Nine Unknown men perhaps first started in the late 19th century with the writings of the French writer Jacolliot, who was best known for writing works in the vein of Jules Verne, which in many cases uncannily predicted technological advances which would appear in later years. The author made mention of many concepts that were well ahead of their time at the time of publication, such as the concepts of the liberation of energy, sterilization by radiation, and psychological warfare. Jacolliot stated that the Nine Unknown Men did in fact exist, and this mention of advanced knowledge well before it was ever thought possible, although not concrete evidence of their existence, is certainly eerie. Another writer who further brought the Nine Unknown Men into the public consciousness was an author who had spent 25 years on the British police force in India by the name of Talbot Mundy, and whose book The Nine Unknown reveals many of the details concerning the secret society, such as their possession of the books of knowledge and the use of an artificial language known only to them. Other authors who would go on to write on the Nine Unknown Men include Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, who would write of them in their book Morning of the Magicians. Yet for all of the myths, legends, and accounts of the Nine Unknown Men, there has never been any evidence that they truly exist, and they remain mere specters on the fringes of our understanding, perhaps secretly watching us or perhaps just a figment of the imagination.

Who are the Nine Unknown Men? Is this just a myth, with just enough historical reference to give it some facade of believability? Or are they really out there, entrusted with the most powerful knowledge mankind has ever seen, collected over thousands of years? Is so, who are they, where are they now, and what is there ultimate plan? Are they truly benign, or is there the potential of malevolence? Will we ever truly know the answer to these questions? We may never know if they really exist or not, and they would undoubtedly hope to keep it that way. Whether they really exist or not, the idea of a secret cabal of nine mysterious figures guarding the secrets of the universe is certainly a romantic notion. Maybe they are out there now, watching over us as they always have from the shadows, relentlessly collecting knowledge as they have for millennia and will for many more, guarding us from secrets we are no meant to know and saving us from ourselves in the process.

WHAT WAS AT THE ROOT OF RONALD REAGAN’S OBSESSION WITH ALIEN INVASION?

WHAT WAS AT THE ROOT OF RONALD REAGAN’S OBSESSION WITH ALIEN INVASION?

What Was At The Root Of Ronald Reagan’s Obsession With Alien Invasion?

If you’ve been following Season Two ofFargo on FX, you’re probably aware of two overarching themes that seem bigger than the snowy towns of Luverne, Minnesota and Sioux Falls, South Dakota: aliens and Ronald Reagan. What you may not have realized, however, is that the two were related long before Noah Hawley adapted the Coen Brothers’ film of the same name to the small screen.

Before we delve into a Reagan-era mystery that has remained under the radar for the last 35 years, it might be worth noting Hawley’s accidental timeliness regarding discussion of extraterrestrial life. It’s as if the showrunner had an inkling UFOs would come zooming back into the zeitgeist upon his series’ Season Two return. Since Fargo‘s October 12, UFO-filled premiere, researchers have discovered a mysterious star emitting a bizarre light pattern — potentially caused by an alien structure — between constellations Cygnus and Lyra, while just this past Saturday, a strange, flying object was spotted over Southern California, Nevada, and Arizona. Authorities concluded it was a naval test missile, but photos and video taken by local citizens across all three states show a definitive blue light emitting from the object’s tail, like something you’d see out of a movie (or in Fargo‘s case, on TV). But in addition to receiving endless praise as a “masterpiece” that’s “even better than Season One,”Hawley’s Coen-inspired anthology crime drama has also led some to wonder what the heck outer space has to do with the endless expanses of late ’70s era Midwest.

Hawley gave some hints about his inspiration for this season in a recent interview with Variety; he referenced how the country’s paranoia in the post-Watergate, post-Vietnam era led to both Reagan’s heroic election and America’s collective obsession with UFOs in the 1970’s. (Maybe it had something to do with the moon landing in ’69?) Other Coen followers, myself included, believe Hawley’s use of extraterrestrial motifs fit like glove with Coen-themed existentialism: that we are all just specs on an infinite map of existence.

Hawley also specifically mentions two films in the Coen canon, A Serious Manand The Man Who Wasn’t There —both of which contain mysterious, otherworldly themes— that he felt gave him license to explore this territory in his show. While we can’t wait to see how Hawley brings together the Gipper and the Green Men, what we want to explore a bit today does not take place in this fictional universe; rather, this is about how extraterrestrial life affected the policies of the 40th President of the United States.

While Reagan is perhaps best remembered as a God-fearing conservative, he was, in many ways, just as paranoid as the rest of us when it came to foreign invaders — and I’m not just talking about the Soviet Union. In fact, despite Cold War tensions between the United States and the USSR, Reagan made a point to meet with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to discuss more than just the banning of nuclear arms.

At a Geneva, Switzerland summit in 1985, President Reagan, who was an avid consumer of science fiction, asked Gorbachev if he were willing to put their countries’ differences aside in the wake of an alien invasion. Determined to have the world’s two superpowers ban together against mysterious extraterrestrials was as — if not more — important to Reagan as reaching an agreement that could end the Cold War. The history books even date Reagan’s alien-themed agenda as taking place before the Reykjavîk Summit in 1986, where the president and Gorbachev struggled to come to a decision to eliminate nuclear missiles. Thus, the vague characterization of Reagan inFargo (portrayed in future episodes by Bruce Campbell), juxtaposed against even vaguer elements of UFOs can’t simply be narrative coincidence.

Even before Reagan flew to Geneva to talk turkey with Gorbachev about outer space, he was said to have been obsessed with the work of Steven Spielberg, particularly 1977’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind and 1982’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The commander-in-chief even went so far as to host a private screening of E.T. at the White House where he allegedly made a comment to Spielberg about how “realistic” the director made his depiction of alien life.Conspiracy theorists even tout Spielberg’s confirmation that, after viewing the film, the former president stood up and looked around the room before thanking the director and stating, “There are a number of people in this room who know that everything on that screen is absolutely true.”

Whether or not you believe “This is a true story,” there’s no definitive way to conclude whether or not Reagan was onto something. One thing seems certain, though: the president wasn’t just trying to protect his country against nuclear threats, he was also trying to protect the world from foreign invaders. Perhaps sometime during the remaining episodes of Fargo this season, Noah Hawley will give us a taste of a young Reagan’s paranoia toward alien life, or maybe he’ll simply have his presidential character remain mystified by the eye in the sky, much like the rest of us.

The planet closest to our Solar System might have just disappeared

The planet closest to our Solar System might have just disappeared

Alpha Centauri bb, an Earth-like planet orbiting our closest star, has just vanished. In fact, a new study suggests it never actually existed outside of a blip in the data.

The planet was discovered in 2012, and it was a pretty big deal at the time. According to researchers' best estimates, Alpha Centauri bb appeared to have a mass similar to Earth and was orbiting its star at a distance similar to Mercury.

Best of all, it was only 4.3 light-years away – a whole lot closer than most other Earth-like exoplanets – and existed in a star system that had housed the science-fiction characters of Avatar and Transformers.

But a year after its discovery, a separate group of researchers called the discovery into question, when they found only weak evidence that the planet existed. And now a new study suggests that Alpha Centauri bb was never more than a ‘ghost’ in the data. 

The research serves as a cautionary tale to astrophysicists hunting for evidence of planets orbiting distant stars, and reminds us of how hard it is to work out what’s going on using sporadic data taken from distant star systems.

Planets are usually detected in two ways, by scientists observing a dip in the light from a star – a sign of a planet orbiting in front of it – or by noticing a ‘wobble’ in a star, which suggests that it's being pulled around by a small planet in orbit.

The wobble system, formerly known as radial velocity method, is what was used to detect Alpha Centauri bb, and in the past it's been used to reliably identify a lot of larger planets.

But when we’re talking about planets as small as Earth, the new study shows that it can be incredibly challenging to distinguish a genuine signal from the background noise, especially if the star system isn’t being monitored constantly, as Alpha Centauri wasn’t.

The team, led by graduate student Vinesh Rajpaul from the University of Oxford, was able to show that subtle patterns of light caused by non-planetary happenings in the star system – for example, the pull of other stars or activity on the star’s surface – could be mistaken for a planet. 

They demonstrated this by creating a simulation of a star with no planet, and then observed it randomly. 

“When we generated synthetic data, the planet popped up exactly, even though there was no planet,” Rajpaul told National Geographic.

Xavier Dumusque from the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in the US, who led the team that discovered Alpha Centauri bb, admitted that Rajpaul and his team have a point.

“This is really good work,” said Xavier. “We are not 100 percent sure, but probably the planet is not there.”

The research has been pre-released in ArXiv, and will soon be published in theMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. 

The good news is that most exoplanets won’t be at risk of this type of mistake, as they’ve been detected by Kepler, a spacecraft that stares constantly at one patch of sky for years, which means it’s unlikely to be tricked by background noise.

We just need to be more careful in future with the planets detected using telescopes here on Earth, and make sure that they’re the real thing, before we get too excited.

Residents in Cape Town probably thought they were about to be invaded by little green men when they spotted these UFO-shaped clouds in the sky.

They shouldn’t have been too worried however as there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for these spectacular cloud formations.

Weird UFO clouds over Cape Town. #CapeTown #CapeTownClouds

Instagram and Facebook feeds have been flooded with #nofilter images of the natural phenomena snapped over the picturesque South African port town on November 8.

"Right now above my head! The strangest most amazing UFO shaped clouds," wrote one Instagram user.

Investment officer Monique Jackson explained: "There were just these massive UFO type clouds and they became more defined as time passed.

Many more who posted pictures of the unusual cloud formations asked for information on what could have caused the UFO-shaped clouds.

Meteorologist Derek Van Dam explained they are fairly common clouds known as ‘stratocumulus standing’ (or Lenticular Clouds)

"They form when conditions are just right," he said. "Air flows along the surface of the earth and reaches some sort of obstruction like a mountain or valley. Probably in this case, Table Mountain, Signal Hill or even the Overberg Mountains upstream from Cape Town.

"The obstruction diverts the flow of the moving air which creates wind ‘eddies’. When this disrupted air flow has stable moist air within it, a series of large-scale standing waves can develop on the downwind side.

"Eventually the temperature at the peak of the wave drops to the dew point allowing for condensation and eventually your star-ship enterprise forms (lenticular clouds). Once the moist air flows back down into the back side of the wave, the cloud will evaporate and disappear."

UFO Drone’ Found on Mars is Proof of Ancient Civilization

UFO Drone’ Found on Mars is Proof of Ancient Civilization

Aliens exist, UFO hunters claimed after a new set of pictures of an identified object, which some said was none other than a UFO drone, were published on YouTube last Sunday, according to Inquisitr.com.
 
 
 
 
Although the pictures were first made a few years ago, the new set of pictures is enhanced to provide a more clear view of the unidentified object.The pictures, snapped by a NASA Mars rover, show an object that resembles a metallic piece of machinery lying in one of the craters in the Gale Crater region of Mars.
 
The photographic evidence shows that the object has an “intelligent design” and is a UFO drone, according to UFO hunter Paranormal Crucible.
 
 
“In my opinion this object is an extraterrestrial drone possibly built by the Indigenous Martian populace or perhaps it was deployed by an off world alien species who were exploring the Martian surface,” Paranormal Crucible said, as cited by Inquisitr.com.
 
Alright, so Mars was quite possibly home to “Indigenous” aliens or some other aliens sent a reconnaissance drone to scout around the planet. Go on and take a minute to settle these thoughts into your head, because from here theories get even more interesting.
 
Other UFO hunters argue that the object isn’t a UFO drone, but a piece of a much bigger alien spacecraft.
 
Although UFO hunters might disagree on the origin of the unknown object lying on the surface of Mars, they all agree that a long time ago ancient Martians had their own civilization that was destroyed by other hostile aliens who were even more technologically advanced. The hostile aliens showed up to Mars and wiped out the “Indigenous” Martians by bombing the entire planet with a series of powerful thermonuclear devices, according to US physicist Dr. John Brandenburg from the University of California, Inquisitr.com said.

Fossilized Ancient Brain Turns Paleontology on its Head

Fossilized Ancient Brain Turns Paleontology on its Head

A UA researcher has provided the strongest evidence yet that it’s possible for brains to fossilize and, in fact, a set of 520-million-year-old arthropod brains have done just that

Science has long dictated that brains don’t fossilize, so when Nicholas Strausfeld co-authored the first ever report of a fossilized brain in a 2012 edition ofNature, it was met with “a lot of flack.”

“It was questioned by many paleontologists, who thought – and in fact some claimed in print – that maybe it was just an artifact or a one-off, implausible fossilization event,” said Strausfeld, a Regents’ professor in UA’s Department ofNeuroscience.

His latest paper in Current Biology addresses these doubts head-on, with definitive evidence that, indeed, brains do fossilize.

In the paper, Strausfeld and his collaborators, including Xiaoya Ma of Yunnan Key Laboratory for Palaeobiology at China’s Yunnan University and Gregory Edgecombe of the Natural History Museum in London, analyze seven newly discovered fossils of the same species to find, in each, traces of what was undoubtedly a brain.

The species, Fuxianhuia protensa, is an extinct arthropod that roamed the seafloor about 520 million years ago. It would have looked something like a very simple shrimp. And each of the fossils – from the Chengjiang Shales, fossil-rich sites in Southwest China – revealed F. protensa’s ancient brain looked a lot like a modern crustacean’s, too.

Using scanning electron microscopy, the researchers found that the brains were preserved as flattened carbon films, which, in some fossils, were partially overlaid by tiny iron pyrite crystals. This led the research team to a convincing explanation as to how and why neural tissue fossilizes.

In another recent paper in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, Strausfeld’s experiments uncovered what it likely was about ancient environmental conditions that allowed a brain to fossilize in the first place.

The only way to become fossilized is, first, to get rapidly buried. Hungry scavengers can’t eat a carcass if it’s buried, and as long as the water is anoxic enough – that is, lacking in oxygen – a buried creature’s tissues evade consumption by bacteria as well. Strausfeld and his collaborators suspect F. protensa was buried by rapid, underwater mudslides, a scenario they experimentally recreated by burying sandworms and cockroaches in mud.

This is only step one. Step two, explained Strausfeld, is where most brains would fail: Withstanding the pressure from being rapidly buried under thick, heavy mud.

To have been able to do this, the F. protensa nervous system must have been remarkably dense. In fact, tissues of nervous systems, including brains, are densest in living arthropods. As a small, tightly packed cellular network of fats and proteins, the brain and central nervous system could pass step two, just as did the sandworm and cockroach brains in Strausfeld’s lab.

“Dewatering is different from dehydration, and it happens more gradually,” said Strausfeld, referring to the process by which pressure from the overlying mud squeezes water out of tissues. “During this process, the brain maintains its overall integrity leading to its gradual flattening and preservation. F. protensa‘s tissue density appears to have made all the difference.”

Now that he and his collaborators have produced unassailable evidence that fossilized arthropod brains are more than just a one-off phenomenon, Strausfeld is working to elucidate the origin and evolution of brains over half a billion years in the past.

“People, especially scientists, make assumptions. The fun thing about science, actually, is to demolish them,” said Strausfeld.

Abstract

Unlocking the early fossil record of the arthropod central nervous system

Extant panarthropods (euarthropods, onychophorans and tardigrades) are hallmarked by stunning morphological and taxonomic diversity, but their central nervous systems (CNS) are relatively conserved. The timing of divergences of the ground pattern CNS organization of the major panarthropod clades has been poorly constrained because of a scarcity of data from their early fossil record. Although the CNS has been documented in three-dimensional detail in insects from Cenozoic ambers, it is widely assumed that these tissues are too prone to decay to withstand other styles of fossilization or geologically older preservation. However, Cambrian Burgess Shale-type compressions have emerged as sources of fossilized brains and nerve cords. CNS in these Cambrian fossils are preserved as carbon films or as iron oxides/hydroxides after pyrite in association with carbon. Experiments with carcasses compacted in fine-grained sediment depict preservation of neural tissue for a more prolonged temporal window than anticipated by decay experiments in other media. CNS and compound eye characters in exceptionally preserved Cambrian fossils predict divergences of the mandibulate and chelicerate ground patterns by Cambrian Stage 3 (ca 518 Ma), a dating that is compatible with molecular estimates for these splits.

Abstract

Preservational Pathways of Corresponding Brains of a Cambrian Euarthropod

Highlights
•Brain organization of Cambrian arthropod fossils of Fuxianhuia protensa correspond
•Fossils resolve tripartite brain organization, cephalic nerves, and optic neuropils
•SEM and EDX demonstrate that brain traces are carbon films, variably overlaid with pyrite
•Early diagenetic mineralization is not essential for preservation of labile tissues

Summary
The record of arthropod body fossils is traceable back to the “Cambrian explosion,” marked by the appearance of most major animal phyla. Exceptional preservation provides crucial evidence for panarthropod early radiation. However, due to limited representation in the fossil record of internal anatomy, particularly the CNS, studies usually rely on exoskeletal and appendicular morphology. Recent studies [ 1–3 ] show that despite extreme morphological disparities, euarthropod CNS evolution appears to have been remarkably conservative. This conclusion is supported by descriptions from Cambrian panarthropods of neural structures that contribute to understanding early evolution of nervous systems and resolving controversies about segmental homologies [ 4–12 ]. However, the rarity of fossilized CNSs, even when exoskeletons and appendages show high levels of integrity, brought into question data reproducibility because all but one of the aforementioned studies were based on single specimens [ 13 ]. Foremost among objections is the lack of taphonomic explanation for exceptional preservation of a tissue that some see as too prone to decay to be fossilized. Here we describe newly discovered specimens of the Chengjiang euarthropod Fuxianhuia protensa with fossilized brains revealing matching profiles, allowing rigorous testing of the reproducibility of cerebral structures. Their geochemical analyses provide crucial insights of taphonomic pathways for brain preservation, ranging from uniform carbon compressions to complete pyritization, revealing that neural tissue was initially preserved as carbonaceous film and subsequently pyritized. This mode of preservation is consistent with the taphonomic pathways of gross anatomy, indicating that no special mode is required for fossilization of labile neural tissue.

CAIRO (AP) — Two weeks of new thermal scanning in Egypt's Giza pyramids have identified anomalies in the 4,500 year-old burial structures, including a major one in the largest pyramid, the Antiquities Ministry announced Monday.

Antiquities Minister Mamdouh el-Damaty and technical experts working on the project showed the higher temperature being detected in three specific adjacent stones at the bottom of the pyramid in a live thermal camera presentation to journalists.

The scanning showed "a particularly impressive one (anomaly) located on the Eastern side of the Khufu pyramid at ground level," the ministry said in a statement. The largest of the three Giza pyramids is known locally as Khufu and internationally as Cheops.

The thermal scanning was carried out at all times of the day, including during sunrise, as the sun heats the structures from the outside, and then during sunset as the pyramids are cooling down. The speed of the heating and cooling phases is being used to uncover "hypotheses" such as empty areas in the pyramids, internal air currents, or different building materials used.

"The first row of the pyramid's stones are all uniform, then we come here and find that there's a difference in the formation," said el-Damaty, pointing at the three stones showing higher temperatures.

While inspecting the area, el-Damaty said they found "that there is something like a small passage in the ground that you can see, leading up to the pyramids ground, reaching an area with a different temperature. What will be behind it?"

Other heat anomalies were detected in the upper half of the pyramid that the experts said need to be investigated further.

El-Damaty invited all Egyptologists, especially those interested in ancient Egyptian architecture, to join in the research and help come up with ideas on what could be behind the anomalies.

The pyramids, located on the outskirts of Cairo, are one of the major tourist attractions in the country. The pyramids, which were used as sacred burial structures, were built in the fourth Pharaonic dynasty. The great pyramid is the oldest and only surviving monument of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

NASA Camera Catches Donut UFO Activity

NASA Camera Catches Donut UFO Activity

UFO nasa

Just a few days after viral reports about the U.S. space agency allegedly cut public live camera feed of a strange glowing orb, another sighting comes in. Online UFO hunters spotted a flying donut near the ISS and claimed that nearly every day alien flying craft visits the space station. They say that such shape is typical for UFOs near the ISS.

Online UFO enthusiasts suggest the black centre isn’t a hole, but a dark dome above the top of the disk. The object is believed to be tilted at an angle to the station for a better view.
Streetcap11 posted the video of the sighting to YouTube and said the mysterious circular object left before the others.

A separate video from the same uploader shows two bizarre UFOs caught on the ISS camera, one is a vertical shape much higher up in the orbit, and another is a horizontal just over the atmosphere of Earth. Streetcap11 said the vertical one, which flashed briefly in the raw footage, was moving very fast.

Sceptics would say that these anomalies can be explained as satellites, meteorites, or gases rather than alien craft. However, NASA typically doesn’t comment on such sightings, so these types of videos are likely to stay and continue.

I just received this UFO report:

Location: Los Angeles, California, U.S.
Date: 09/26/2015

Witness report: This Formation of a Fleet of 12 Ufo’s was witnessed and documented on September 26th at 1pm Saturday for an L.A. Ufo Channel Event in Hollydale Park, Southgate California. We Gathered as we have been doing for two years and attempted a Meditation to Contact Ufo’s telepathically so we may witness them and present them to the public that joins us for free at our events to witness them firsthand as well as the world through online. well this day when we meditated someone asked for a formation and let and behold right after we witnessed this beauty you see in the video here, a magnificent sightings of 12 gorgeous beautiful ravesing Paranormal Orbs flew out of a chemtrail and left flew in bautiful patterns and formation. I filmed it with my Canon T3i at 600 times zoom with my scope and barr on it to get as closest i could along with over 30 eye-witnisses who saw it as well and testified on their own accounts of the experience.

Mysterieus warmteverschil op scan van piramides - HLN.be

Een internationaal team van architecten en wetenschappers heeft afwijkingen in temperatuur gevonden in vier piramides in het Egyptische Giza. Wat die warmteverschillen veroorzaakt, is nog onduidelijk.

media_l_8151105.jpg

Onder de noemer Scan Pyramidsbegon het team met leden uit Egypte, Frankrijk, Canada en Japan op 25 oktober met het scannen van diverse piramides in Giza. Met behulp van warmtecamera's hoopten ze verborgen kamers in de eeuwenoude bouwsels op te sporen. Na amper drie weken hebben ze nu een bijzondere ontdekking gedaan. Maar liefst vier van de onderzochte piramides bleken plekken te hebben met een afwijkende temperatuur. 


Hypotheses
De grootste afwijking werd gevonden in de Piramide van Cheops. Een paar stenen op grondniveau verschillen tot wel zes graden in temperatuur met de rest van de stenen. Ook in de bovenste helft van de piramide zijn plekken met een andere temperatuur gevonden. Experts noemen de aanwezigheid van lege ruimtes, interne luchtstromingen of het gebruik van verschillende materialen als mogelijke oorzaken. De onderzoekers buigen zich nu over de vraag welke van deze hypotheses de juiste is.

De vondst werpt een heel ander licht op de piramides. De Nederlandse ingenieur Robert Voûte, die nauw betrokken is bij de missie en momenteel een scanproject opzet in Luxor, vertelt: "We bekijken ze al duizenden jaren zeggend dat we ze kennen, maar uiteindelijk, vierduizend jaar later, realiseren we ons dat het tegenovergestelde waar is."

Naast het verder onderzoeken van de warmteverschillen in de gescande piramides gaat Scan Pyramids de komende maanden ook nog door met het scannen van andere piramides. Het project loopt nog tot het einde van 2016.

De enorme bergen op dwergplaneet Pluto zijn mogelijk ijsvulkanen. Dat onthulde het team achter de Amerikaanse ruimtesonde New Horizons maandag op een bijeenkomst van de Amerikaanse Astronomenvereniging (AAS).

De sonde vloog eerder dit jaar langs Pluto en stuurt nog steeds informatie terug naar de aarde. Daaruit bleek dat op de dwergplaneet grote bergen te vinden zijn met laagtes op de top, zoals vulkanen op de aarde en Mars.

New Horizons-wetenschapper Oliver White noemde het bestaan van vulkanen op Pluto ,,het minst gestoorde idee waar we op konden komen'' toen werd gezocht naar een verklaring voor het verschijnsel. De vulkanen op Pluto zouden in plaats van lava bijvoorbeeld bevroren water, stikstof of ammoniak kunnen uitspuwen.

Spanje in de ban van mysterieuze bollen uit ruimte - HLN.be

Spanje in de ban van mysterieuze bollen uit ruimte - HLN.be

Bron: El País


View image on Twitter

Ze zijn het gesprek van de dag in de Spaanse regio Murcia: twee zwarte bollen, die kort na elkaar gevonden werden in een weiland. Waar ze precies vandaan komen, is nog niet helemaal duidelijk.

Een week geleden viel hij zomaar uit de lucht: een grote bol met een diameter van ongeveer een meter, omhuld met een zwarte laag onbrandbaar materiaal. De Spaanse broers Juan en Francisco Espín vonden het ding op hun erf in het Spaanse plaatsje Llanos del Cagitán (regio Murcia). De twee waarschuwden een groepje soldaten dat in de buurt gelegerd was. Dat leidde er uiteindelijk toe dat de explosievenopruimingsdienst het voorwerp meenam voor inspectie. 

Omdat het nog steeds onduidelijk is waar de bollen vandaan komen, speculeren buurtbewoners flink. Gaat het om ruimtepuin of hebben aliens er iets mee te maken? Schapenboer Juan is er in ieder geval helemaal klaar mee: "Ze kunnen de kudde krijgen, zolang ik maar geen problemen krijg", zei hij tegen de Spaanse krant El País.

Tweede bol
Amper bekomen van de schrik vond een boer, woonachtig op een steenworp afstand van de twee broers, zondag opnieuw een zwarte bol. Hij waarschuwde direct de politie, waarna opnieuw de explosievenopruimingsdienst in actie kwam. Ook de tweede bol is een mysterie en maakt aardig wat tongen los in het plaatsje Mula, eveneens in de regio Murcia.

De eerste bol is inmiddels naar het scheikundig centrum Centro de Referencia Nacional de Formación Profesional Química in Cartagena gestuurd voor nader onderzoek. De meest waarschijnlijke uitleg is volgens hen dat het om een brandstoftank van een ruimteschip of een raket gaat. Tot de herkomst voor honderd procent duidelijk is, blijft het echter gissen naar het verhaal achter de mysterieuze zwarte bollen.
