The stolen flying saucer and the secrets of Area 51

By Thea de Gallier

A 17-year-old has been arrested for stealing a model spaceship close to the most famous place on earth for alien sightings.

He was caught on CCTV at the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico.

It's believed he had two accomplices who are still on the loose.

The model was taken on 19 March and was later found in pieces just outside Roswell.

Alien life could be found in 10 years

'Bizarre' star may show alien civilisation

The International UFO Museum and Research Center is not home to any real UFOs. Instead, it houses literature and memorabilia related to the infamous incident of 1947, when a military spy balloon crashed on a ranch just outside the town.

The local paper at first reported that a "flying disc" had crashed, but the air force issued a press release in response saying it was a weather balloon.

Suggestions of a cover-up didn't come until years later, when a group of UFO enthusiasts got hold of documents related to the crash, which they say prove that the object was actually a spacecraft and that alien bodies were recovered.

A new report came out in 1994 which said the wreckage wasn't, in fact, a spaceship or a weather balloon, but US spying equipment used for picking up Russian radio signals.

Despite most of the "aliens" in the photos that appeared at the height of the conspiracy looking suspiciously like something you might find in Toys 'R' Us, the theories are still going strong.

The truth, say the hardcore believers on the darkest corners of the internet, may be found in Area 51, the secretive military base in the Nevada Desert.

Nobody knows what's really in it. But people have a lot of fun guessing. Here are some of the wilder theories.

Crashed UFOs

Some people think that the whole weather balloon/secret spyware story is nothing more than a cover story, and that what really happened when the Roswell craft crashed was that the wreckage, and the aliens that died in the crash, were taken to Area 51 and hidden.

A New York Times article from 1996 features Glenn Campbell, a man who decamped to a trailer near Area 51 to sell maps of the area to tourists, and believes the government might be hiding UFOs there.

Another common belief is that scientists and military engineers on the base examine alien technology for us to copy on Earth. Basically, Snapchat might have been invented in Space. But probably not.

Real aliens that are definitely not fake

Just before his death in 2013, a man called Boyd Bushman revealed a collection of photos of "aliens", claiming they were taking during his time working at Area 51 as an employee of Lockheed Martin, an aerospace company. But not everyone is convinced that he ever went to Area 51 or that he worked for the firm.

The aliens in the photos look very similar to a cheap plastic toy. Chris Sereda, who calls himself a "spiritual explorer", reckons the toys were placed in supermarkets by the government after the photos were released as some sort of complicated double bluff.

Petite pilots with abnormal heads

In Annie Jacobsen's 2011 book Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base, she claimed that the Roswell craft was the result of an evil plan between the Russian dictator Stalin and a Nazi surgeon.

She says the alien bodies allegedly seen by eyewitnesses after the crash were actually "human guinea pigs that appeared to be children" created as part of a Cold War plot to send the US into a panic over an alien invasion threat.

Nuclear bomb testing and spy planes

The Telegraph reported in 2013 that the CIA had finally acknowledged "strange goings on" at Area 51.

A report was released under the Freedom of Information Act, which described the area as an "Atomic Energy Commission test site", and revealed that the U-2 and Oxcart spy planes were also tested there. Jeffrey Richelson, the researcher who got hold of the documents, suggested that the numerous reported UFO sightings around the base were actually the planes.

A fake moon landing

This one's actually true. National Geographic published a list of facts about Area 51, including the revelation that astronauts tested land rovers and life support equipment at the base before their real mission to the moon.

Apparently, there was also a tennis court and a bowling alley to entertain the employees stationed there - or was it so the aliens could keep fit?

Image caption"UFOs are real" but the punctuation is paranormal

Secret railways

Area 51 isn't small - in fact, it's over 23 miles wide. But some conspiracy theorists reckon the real business happens underground.

"A few claim the underground facility has up to 40 levels and that it is attached via underground railways to other sites in Los Alamos, White Sands and Los Angeles," claims darkgovernment.com.

But no-one's ever seen large amounts of concrete and other construction material enter the site.

A gift shop

Reddit user kiver16 did an AMA with his mum's boyfriend, who claims to have been to Area 51. Instead of being concerned with the threat of alien invasion, one poster just wanted to know if they'd be able to pick up a souvenir of their trip to Nevada.

"Area 51 has a gift shop?" Asked Texas_Hog. Kiver16 confirmed that yes, it does, but it's "somewhere outside the gate [and] nothing to do with Area 51."

Could it be our friend Glenn Campbell in his caravan?

And the most elusive things on earth... are they there?

Reddit users have their own ideas about what the US government might be hiding...

Frightening Triangle Close Encounter In Massachusetts

(Before It's News)

Will Hillary Clinton Unmask Area 51?

• 
  Seth ShostakSenior Astronomer, SETI Institute

DANIELA MANGIUCA VIA GETTY IMAGES

If you’re worried about little gray guys with no hair and amygdaloid eyes, Hillary Clinton wants to help. Last week, in an interview with late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel, Clinton said that she planned to follow up on inquiries made years ago by her husband, and bare what the government really knows about visiting aliens.

The principal question: Are a few such cosmic beings — or at least some of their spacecraft — under wraps at Area 51, Nevada’s creepy, cryptic military facility? Inquiring minds want to know.

Of course they do. But I doubt that Clinton can provide a satisfactory answer.

First, the back story. For decades, surveys have shown that roughly one-third of the populace will raise their hand if asked, “Do you think Earth is being visited by extraterrestrials?” That’s a hundred million Americans, and of course, some of them have political influence. When Bill Clinton was president, the wealthy philanthropist Laurance Rockefeller sponsored, and then promoted, a document that described what was called the best evidence for alien craft. He met with Bill Clinton in 1996, and encouraged him make a deep dive on the subject. Clinton tried to learn if cosmic creatures were warehoused at Area 51, but said he came up empty.

Now we have UFO redux. Hillary is being urged by her campaign manager, John Podesta, to think again. Or at least, to ask again. Podesta, who was Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff and more recently Counselor to President Obama, now chairs Hillary’s campaign. He’s long pushed for disclosure of any government information germane to the UFO question, and for over two decades has made this a minor leitmotif for the Clintons.

So what is Hillary going to do that her husband didn’t? Well, maybe nothing more than to simply look into the subject again. But, Kimmel upped the ante. What if Hillary finds that the government really does have proof of aliens?

“Well, if there is something there,” Clinton responded, “unless it’s a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public.”

In other words, tell it like it is. Clinton is siding with those who clamor for “disclosure,” a code word for the government coming clean and admitting to the public what it really knows about UFOs. The thesis is simple: the question of alien presence will be settled if the feds simply open their files.

But that premise is weak. An extraordinary claim (we’re being visited) is defended with a resort to hidden information. Suppose someone tells you they’ve found a cure for cancer. Would you believe them if they also said that the crucial proof was hidden for decades by a malevolent government?

There’s also a subtle bias in the disclosure approach. The very term implies that there is something to disclose.

But what if there’s not? Things go wrong anyway. In 1970 the Air Force ended Project Blue Book - its investigation of UFOs — saying that it had found nothing of interest in the many reports it collected. Did that put claims of saucer-sailing visitors to bed? No, it merely spawned a conviction that the Air Force investigation was rigged or that the real UFO evidence was in the relatively small collection of unexplained cases.

In 2009, the British Ministry of Defence shuttered its UFO hotline. The number of reported sightings had reached two or three a day, and the burden of dealing with them was considered insupportable. The MOD said that after more than a half-century of taking hotline tips, they had learned nothing of either military or scientific value. They also released tens of thousands of related government documents. Nonetheless, you’re living in dreamland if you think that all members of the British public have now dismissed the idea that Earth is hosting extraterrestrials.

So disclosure is a mirage unless the answer is the right one. If the government’s response to Hillary’s queries is “there’s nothing at Area 51 but military aircraft,” do you really expect that those whose psyches are invested in the alien visitation story are going to buy it?

Not likely. They’re not going to hand over their swords and abandon the idea of aliens on Earth. Given the inherent problem of proving a negative, I doubt they’ll ever come to this conclusion. Ever.

And even if you don’t share my skepticism, note that Hillary’s response to Kimmel had a qualifier as obvious as a circus parade. She said that yes, she’ll share whatever information she finds “unless it’s a threat to national security.”

Even a fourth grader will realize this is a handy excuse to hold back information. Not that she necessarily would. It’s just that any statement saying that there are no alien bodies at Area 51 is immediately suspect. It won’t settle any arguments.

Clinton may just have been kidding around with Kimmel. And on the practical side, given the large number of people who believe that Earth has house guests, maybe this was just a gambit to influence some voters to favor her candidacy.

But one thing you can bet on: Area 51 and its putative store of extraterrestrial paraphernalia isn’t about to become an open book. And for the UFO folks, that might be a good thing. After all, its value isn’t that it actually houses aliens or alien artifacts, but that it might.

Astronomers Crowdfund Effort to Recreate ‘Alien’ Signal

(Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

For 72 seconds in 1977, the Big Ear radio telescope recorded a powerful signal streaming from the area of globular cluster M55 in Sagittarius.

To Ohio State astronomer Jerry Ehman, a SETI volunteer at the time, it seemed like the exact kind of alien message he’d been searching for. Its frequency near the hydrogen line matched a strong range that extraterrestrials might use to communicate over the vast reaches of space.

Ehman circled the signal on a printout and scrawled “Wow!”

Where’s Wow?

Despite many searches, the so-called Wow! signal was never observed again. In the intervening decades, astronomers have ruled out Earthly-origins like a passing satellite, or even nearby asteroids or planets. The lasting unsolved mystery has provided decades of fodder for science fiction writers and late-night alien TV shows.

But an astronomer at Florida’s St. Petersburg College, Antonio Paris, came up with a potential solution earlier this year that doesn’t require aliens. At the time of the Wow! signal, two Sun-orbiting comets — 266P/Christensen and P/2008 Y2 (Gibbs) — were in the same area of sky. Paris believes these dirty snowballs and their hydrogen clouds could be prime suspects.

Another Chance

Luckily for him, Comet 266P/Christensen passes through the same region on January 25, 2017. And on January 07, 2018, comet P/2008 Y2 (Gibbs) will do the same.

Paris hopes to recreate the Wow! signal by aiming a dedicated radio telescope at the region. But his team at the Center for Planetary Science is a little short of cash. They’ve launched a GoFundMe page to help raise the needed funds to purchase and install a 5-meter radio telescope. So far, Paris raised $1,300 of his $12,000 goal.

To learn more about the science, you can read their journal article published in the Washington Academy of Sciences, or pitch in funds through theGoFundMe effort here.

The Tenth Planet

WAAROM VLUCHTTEN DE OORSPRONKELIJKE MARSBEWONERS? ( VIDEO )

Overal op aarde zijn prehistorische afbeeldingen te vinden in grotten of op rotswanden waaruit blijkt dat de aarde getroffen is door een ramp en de bewoners haastig weg zijn gevlucht. 

Nu zijn er frappante afbeeldingen ontdekt op Mars waaruit je zou kunnen afleiden dat ook de originele Marsbewoners haastig zijn gevlucht. 

In 2012 schreven wij een artikel over hoe het eigenlijk heel duidelijk werd uit allerlei tekeningen van onze verre voorouders in grotten en op rotswanden dat er in het verleden dingen zijn gebeurd waardoor de bevolking niet alleen op de vlucht sloeg, maar ook nog eens naar hoger gelegen gebieden. 

Nergens uit onze geschiedenisboeken kunnen wij leren wat die ramp in het verleden heeft veroorzaakt. Stel nu dat het een gebeurtenis was die te maken had met dingen buiten de aarde, dan zouden hier ook sporen van te vinden moeten zijn op andere planeten. 

Wij geloven dat de gebeurtenis die onze voorouders deed vluchten naar hogergelegen gebieden alles te maken had met een eerdere passage van het Nibiru zonnestelsel. 

Als dat het geval was, zouden de gevolgen daarvan ook te merken zijn geweest op naburige planeten zoals Mars. 

Waar het nu op lijkt, is dat er op Mars inderdaad sporen zijn aangetroffen van rotstekeningen die overeenkomsten vertonen met die van hier op aarde. Hierna volgt een rotstekening zoals die is aangetroffen in een grot in Afrika.

En hier volgen enkele afbeelden van wat lijkt op rotstekeningen zoals die op NASA beelden op Mars zijn ontdekt. Ook hier lijkt, net zoals op aarde, sprake van wegrennende/vluchtende mensen.

Wanneer er een passage van de planeet Nibiru en metgezellen plaatsvindt, zal men daar op Mars waarschijnlijk net zoveel last van ondervinden als op aarde. 

En waar de mensheid op aarde de gebeurtenissen op aarde heeft overleefd, is dat wellicht op Mars niet het geval geweest of in ieder geval zijn de gevolgen veel dramatischer geweest. Er zijn namelijk ook aanwijzingen dat er op dit moment wel degelijk nog leven op Mars is boven of onder de grond.

Onze voorouders hebben op allerlei manieren geprobeerd boodschappen die de tand des tijds konden doorstaan, door te geven voor toekomstige generaties, wij dus. 

Boodschappen die laten zien dat er ooit wel degelijk iets was waarvoor zij haastig moesten vluchten naar hogergelegen gebieden, net zoals de mensen op Mars. 

Navolgend nog een deel van het artikel uit 2012: 

Uit de vele petrogliefen die wereldwijd zijn aangetroffen blijkt dat men bang was voor iets en dientengevolge vluchtte naar hogergelegen gebieden. Dit vinden we ook terug in de Kolbrin Bijbel. 

Zo staat er in het boek Manuscripts (3:6) het volgende: 

“De mensen zullen in paniek overal naartoe vluchten. Ze zullen de trompetten horen en de strijdkreet van de Verwoester en zullen hun toevlucht zoeken in de grotten op aarde. Ze zullen verlamd zijn van schrik en de moed zal uit hen stromen zoals het water uit een gebroken kruik. Ze zullen worden opgegeten door de wrekende vlam en de adem van de Verwoester” 

Op de volgende foto zie je een rotstekening van mensen en dieren die wegvluchten naar de bergen. Op deze tekening vind je ook iets waar wij nu veel last van hebben: dode vissen.

Iets wat opvalt in bijna al die afbeeldingen is de spiraal en die komt keer op keer terug. Dit komen we straks ook weer tegen in de Kolbrin Bijbel. 

Zo staat er in het boek Creation (4:6):  

“De ster groeide uit en werd steeds helderder en was indrukwekkend om te zien. Het kreeg horens en het zong en nog nooit had iemand zoiets gezien” 

Op de volgende foto zie je de man afgebeeld met horens en weer de spiraal.

Hoofdstuk 5 van het boek Manuscripts, vrij vertaald, gaat als volgt: 

Vers 1. 

"De Onheilsvorm, de Verwoester genaamd, werd in Egypte gezien en in alle landen daaromheen. Het had een heldere en felle kleur, het veranderde en was onstabiel. Het draaide rond zoals een spoel/spiraal zoals het water opborrelt uit een ondergrondse bron in een poel en iedereen was het erover eens dat het een angstaanjagend gezicht was. Het was niet een grote komeet of een verdwaalde ster, maar meer als een vurig object".

Vers 2. 

"Haar bewegingen hoog in de lucht waren langzaam. Het kronkelde rond zoals rook dat doet en het bleef dichtbij de zon wiens gezicht het verborg. Het had een soort bloedachtige roodheid dat veranderde naarmate het haar pad vervolgde. Het veroorzaakte dood en verwoesting als het opkwam en weer onderging. Het veegde over de aarde met een grijze regen van sintels en veroorzaakte pest, hongersnood en andere kwaden. Het beet in de huid van mens en beest totdat ze bedekt waren met zweren".

Vers 3. 

"De aarde trilde en had het zwaar, de heuvels en de bergen bewogen en schudden. De met zwarte rook gevulde hemelen bogen voorover naar de aarde en er bereikte een groot gehuil de oren van de levende mensen, tot hen gebracht door de vleugels van de wind. Het was de kreet van de Donkere Meester, de Meester van de Doden. Dikke vurige rookwolken gingen voor hem langs en er was afgrijselijke hagel van hete stenen en vurige kolen. 

De Onheilsvorm donderde zwaar in de hemel en er schoten felle bliksemflitsen uit. De waterwegen werden op zichzelf teruggeworpen toen de grond overhelde en grote bomen werden rondgegooid en knapten af als takjes. Toen, een stem als duizend trompetten, werd gehoord boven de wildernis en voor haar brandende adem spleten de vlammen uiteen. Het hele land bewoog, de bergen smolten. De hemel zelf brulde als tienduizend leeuwen in pijn en vurige pijlen van bloed schoten her en der over haar gezicht. De aarde zwol op als brood op de haard".

Vers 4. 

"Dit was het aspect van de Onheilsvorm, die de Verwoester werd genoemd, toen het verscheen in die dagen die lang vervlogen zijn. Dit is zoals het staat beschreven in de oude archieven, waarvan er nog maar weinig zijn. Er wordt gezegd dat wanneer het verschijnt in de hemelen boven de aarde, deze zal opensplijten als een noot die geroosterd wordt boven het vuur. Dan zullen de vlammen omhoogschieten door het oppervlak en deze zullen als felle vijanden op het zwarte bloed springen. Het vocht in het land is allemaal opgedroogd, de weiden en de bewoonde plaatsen zullen door de vlammen worden verzwolgen en zullen met alle bomen witte as worden".

Vers 5. 

"De Onheilsvorm is als een ronddraaiende bal van vuur die kleine vurige deeltjes in haar spoor rondslingert. Het bedekt ongeveer eenvijfde van de hemel en stuurt kronkelende vingers die lijken op slangen naar de aarde. Ervoor ziet de lucht er angstaanjagend uit en dan breekt het open en uiteen. Midden op de dag is het net zo licht als ’s nachts. Het omvat heel veel vreselijke dingen. 

In de oude archieven worden dingen verteld over de Verwoester. Lees ze met een plechtig hart, wetende dat de Onheilsvorm haar eigen tijd heeft en terug zal keren. Het zou dom zijn om hen zonder waarschuwing te laten gaan. Nu zeggen mensen: “Zulke dingen zijn niet voorbestemd in onze dagen”. Moge de grote God boven genadig genoeg zijn om dit toe te staan. Maar, komen zal die dag zeker en zoals in de natuur van de mens ligt, zal deze totaal onvoorbereid zijn".

De tekeningen en de Kolbrin Bijbel vertellen ons wat er eerder gebeurd is. Ook nu leven wij in een tijd van rampen en snel verslechterende omstandigheden op aarde. De aarde trilt en beeft, dieren sterven massaal, het klimaat verandert, honger en oorlog liggen op de loer. Overal ter wereld hoort men vreemde geluiden en veel mensen “voelen” dat er iets staat te gebeuren. 

Negeren wij de tekenen en zeggen wij: “Zulke dingen zijn niet voorbestemd in onze dagen?” 

(Noot van de redactie: de verhalen over deze Verwoester doet ons denken aan de film Prometheus. Hierin wordt door diegenen die ons creëerden, koers gezet naar de aarde met als doel haar/ons te vernietigen. De "zelfmoord" van de co-maker van deze film, Tony Scott, en de (mogelijk) besloten boodschap in zijn creatie, zouden wel eens dezelfde grondslag kunnen hebben als wat de verzen hierboven ons vertellen.)

UFO Lands In Las Vegas?

A man from Las Vegas, Nevada has caught on camera a bright orb UFO that moves without a sound over mountains near his neighborhood. The UFO reportedly landed at the mountain’s base close to the home of the witness.

Steven Barone uploaded the video, which shows the UFO, to YouTube on March 19, 2016. According to the witness’ account, the UFO on the video was less than two miles from his home when he started recording it.

He managed to record the UFO as it drifted closer to his home. The witness was certain it was not a helicopter or an airplane because it was a bright, glowing orb without structures or engine sounds of known aerial vehicles.

He continued recording the UFO until it went down and eventually landed on the ground close to the mountain. The light of the UFO went off as it approached closer to the ground but still visible on the camera lens as it descended to the base of the mountain because of the moonlight.

Although the witness lost visual of the glowing orb after it landed at the base of the mountain, he continued to observe it until it took off after several minutes on the ground. Barone saw the mysterious aerial thing briefly before it returned to the ground and disappeared again.

The unidentified flying object rose into the air once more after several minutes. As it rose higher, the witness observed two UFOs, this time, flying side-by-side. He watched them until they disappeared into the night. Barone claimed that it wasn’t the first time he saw such mysterious thing over the mountains near his neighborhood in Las Vegas, but it was the first time he encountered a UFO incident that close to his home.

Jupiter Just Got Hit by a Comet or Asteroid ... Again (Video)

Jupiter Collision! Impact Burst Captured By Amateur Astronomer | Video

https://youtu.be/qCN4s4jaNN

Take that, Jupiter! The largest planet in the solar system just got whacked by an asteroid or a comet, and some intrepid stargazers have captured the planet's latest collision on camera.

The flash from a new impact on Jupiter (arrow) is seen in this still from a video taken through a telescope by amateur astronomer John McKeon of Swords, Ireland on March 17, 2016.

Amateur astronomer John McKeon was observing the king of planets by telescope from Swords, Ireland, on March 17 when he captured this stunning time-lapse video of something hitting Jupiter. McKeon was recording the transit of Jupiter's moons Io and Ganymede with an 11-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and his ASI120mm camera when something struck Jupiter, and he struck cosmic pay dirt.

"The original purpose of the imaging session was to get this time-lapse, with a happy coincidence of the impact in the second, last capture of the night," McKeon wrote in a YouTube video description.

While it's still too early to know exact details on the Jupiter crash, NASA asteroid expert Paul Chodas, who heads the agency's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said there's greater chance that an asteroid, not comet, is the culprit.

"It's more likely to be an asteroid simply because there are more of them," Chodas told Space.com by phone.

It's not yet clear what hit Jupiter, but the impact was also captured by at least one other amateur astronomer — Gerrit Kernbauer of Mödling, Austria — according to Bad Astronomy's Phil Plait, who posted Kernbauer's YouTube video of the impact. According to Plait, the impact occurred at 00:18 GMT, or just after midnight, on March 17.

Kernbauer used a Skywatcher Newton 200/1000 Telescope to capture the Jupiter impact video, which you can see here:

"The seeing was not the best, so I hesitated to process the videos," he wrote in his video description. "Nevertheless, 10 days later I looked through the videos and I found this strange light spot that appeared for less than one second on the edge of the planetary disc. Thinking back to Shoemaker-Levy 9, my only explanation for this is an asteroid or comet that enters Jupiter's high atmosphere and burned up/explode very fast [sic]."

Another view of the bright impact flash on Jupiter (right side of planet), as seen by amateur astronomer John McKeon of Swords, Ireland, is seen in this still from a video captured through a telescope on March 17, 2016.

As Kernbauer says, this isn't the first time Jupiter has been walloped by a space rock or comet.

"From our point of view this simply serves to remind us that impacts in the solar system are real and Jupiter gets more than its fair share of impacts," said Chodas said. "It draws in a lot of asteroids and comets. We are seeing these impact flashes on Jupiter about once a year now, and that’s I believe because of instrumentation."

Between July 16 and July 22 of 1994, fragments of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 slammed into Jupiter as astronomers and stargazers watched in awe through their telescopes on Earth. The impacts left great scars that were visible on the Jupiter for months through even a small telescope. [Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9's Epic Jupiter Crash in Pictures]

While astronomers watched comet Shoemaker-Levy 9's Jupiter crash from Earth, NASA's Galileo spacecraft — which was en route Jupiter at the time — captured stunning images of the collision. The Hubble Space Telescope recorded views of the impacts in different wavelengths, while NASA used its Deep Space Network to track radio disturbances in Jupiter's radiation belt.

Then it happened in again.

On July 19, 2009, Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley noticed a dark spot near Jupiter's southern pole: the telltale bruise from an impact, likely from a rogue asteroid about 1,600 feet (500 meters) wide. It was roughly the size of the ill-fated Titanic cruise ship.

A year later, on June 3, 2010, it happened yet again. This impact was also spotted by Wesley in Australia, as well as by fellow Jupiter-watcher Christopher Go in the Philippines.

But wait, there's more.

Later in 2010, on Aug. 20, the flash from another impact on Jupiter was spotted by amateur astronomer Masayuki Tachikawa in Japan. Then on Sept. 12, 2012, another flash and crash on Jupiter, this one first spotted by Dan Peterson of Racine, Wisconsin.

The photos from the recent Jupiter impacts show how the planet is under constant surveillance by some die-hard amateur astronomers. "Better and better instruments means Jupiter is being monitored, even by amateur astronomers, much more than it was in the past," Chodas said.

And the planet is about to get another visitor, this one from NASA.

On July 4 of this year, NASA's Juno spacecraft will arrive in orbit around Jupiter to pick up where the Galileo mission (which ended in 2003) left off. The $1.1 billion Juno mission launched in 2011 and is expected to spend at least a year mapping Jupiter in amazing detail.

10 Rare Cloud Formations - Top10Stuff

22 Ridiculously Cool Rare Natural Phenomena That Happen on Earth

Events that are so rare and beautiful that they may seem unbelievable at first but they do happen..for real. 

1. Bioluminescence

www.philhart.com

www.solentnews.co.uk

www.philhart.com

The spooky light is created by a chemical reaction called “bioluminescence”, which happens when tiny organisms in the water are disturbed. The photographer put his camera on a very slow shutter speed and threw sand and stones into the water to cause the reaction and capture as much of the blue haze as possible.

2. Supercells

www.someinterestingfacts.net

A supercell is basically a stronger, more tornado-enabled version of a regular storm cell. This is because—much like tornadoes—supercells have the tendency to spin around a lot, but also—and more importantly—because supercells can actually create tornadoes.

3. Volcanic Lightning

www.listverse.com

This cool picture depicts a lightning storm that takes place in the middle of a volcanic eruption. Scientists aren’t 100% sure why this happens, but the primary theory goes that when a volcano erupts, it projects positively-charged debris into the atmosphere. These charges then react with negative charges already present, which results in 1) a bolt of lightning, and 2) a really cool picture.

4. Snow Donuts

www.npr.org

These rare shapes are formed—under perfect temperature conditions only—when a mass of snow either falls or is blown by the wind. If it manages to catch on to some other snow, and gravity or the wind is in its favor, then the new snowball will roll itself in the exact same way we all used to. In this case, though, the middles tend to collapse to create a donut shape, which can end up as tall as 26 inches (66 cm).

5. Fire Rainbows

www.listverse.com

These colorful offshoots are a large halo of refracted light, and despite their nickname, they have nothing to do with either fire or rainbows. They only occur when the sun is at least 58 degrees above the horizon, when there are cirrus clouds in the sky that are filled with plate-shaped ice crystals. The refraction of light is always parallel to the horizon, and because the arcs are so big, only sections of them are ever commonly seen—which is why it can look like certain patches of cloud are on fire

6. Lenticular Clouds

www.en.wikipedia.org

www.bbc.co.uk

www.crystalinks.com

They are stationary lens-shaped and sometimes multi-layered clouds that form at high altitudes. They are formed when moist air is forced to flow upward around mountain tops. Due to their shape, they have been offered as an explanation for some UFO sightings.

7. Auroras

www.travelization.net

Auroras or polar lights are mesmerizing natural light display in the skies of high latitude regions. They are caused when energetic electrically charged particles from solar wind accelerate along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with gas atoms, causing the atoms to give off light. The auroral zone is typically 10° to 20° from the magnetic poles.

8. Fire Whirls

www.quora.com

The fire whirls, fire devil or fire tornado, is a rare natural phenomenon that occurs when a fire, combined by certain air temperature and currents, forms a whirl that rises into the air like a tornado. They can be actual whirlwinds that disengage from the flames, or else can become a vortex of flame. The fire whirl usually occurs during bush fires.

9. Finnish Lapland

The picture was taken last winter in Finnish Lapland where weather can include sub-freezing temperatures and driving snow. Surreal landscapes sometimes result, where common trees become cloaked in white and so appear, to some, as watchful aliens or bizarre statues.

10. Sun Dogs

www.en.wikipedia.org

They are massive halos in the sky as a result of light refraction—though in this case, they appear to actually encircle the sun. Sun dogs can be recognized by the two distinctive bright spots on either side of the halo—if these blips are bright enough, it can even look like there are three suns in the sky, all side by side. And the good news is that this happens all the time, all over the world, so you’ll be able to start seeing them if you look closely enough (especially when the sun is low in the sky).

11. Skypunch

www.pinterest.com

A fallstreak hole, also known as a punch hole cloud, is a large circular or elliptical gap, that can appear in cirrocumulous or altocumulous clouds. Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not frozen yet due to the lack of icenucleation particles. When ice crystals do form it will set off a domino effect, due to the Bergeon process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud

12. Frost Flowers

www.en.wikipedia.org

They’re buildups of ice particles around the base of certain plants and types of wood. When the temperature outside the plant is below freezing and the temperature within them is not, then water is pulled to the surface in a process similar to transpiration. This leads to a fragile chain of ice being pushed outward, which ends up forming sprawling, delicate formations.

13. Columnar Basalt

www.listverse.com

The unique formations are a result of lava flows cracking as they cool, in a perpendicular direction to the original flow. Columnar basalt clusters can be found all over the world—and then, naturally, climbed.

14. Penitentes

www.humanunderconstruction.blogspot.com

www.en.wikipedia.org

These spiky fields of ice are called penitentes, and each individual shard can be up to a whopping 4 m high. These intimidating snow structures are formed in high-altitude areas with low humidity, such as the glaciers of the Andes mountains. If the conditions are right, the sun’s rays are so hot that they can actually sublimate fields of snow—meaning that the frozen water vaporizes without ever becoming a liquid. This leads to slight pockets in the ice, which—thanks to their shape—actually end up attracting even more heat.

15. Light Poles

www.planete-revelations.com

This phenomenon is known as ‘light poles’ and it can be seen at nights over the large cities with different colored lights. They can only be seen during very cold weather (the temperature of -20 Celsius degrees or lower is required). Also the wind must not blow fast and there has to be a plenty of tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere.

16. Morning Glory Clouds

www.quora.com

Morning Glory clouds are very rare types of clouds. They can stretch 1,000 kilometers long and occur at altitudes of up to 2 km. Although similar clouds are seen in many places worldwide, the ones over Burketown, Queensland in Australia occur predictably every spring. These tubes and the surrounding air can cause dangerous turbulence for airplanes when clear.

17. Waterspouts

www.apod.nasa.gov

www.letsbewild.com

They’re tornadoes that form over water. Because of this, they don’t pose a major threat unless you happen to be in a boat—but if you are, then watch out, because these things can achieve speeds of up to 305 km per hour. In fact, it’s been speculated that many mysterious shipwrecks—such as those within the Bermuda Triangle—are simply a result of bad luck with waterspouts.

18. Mammatus Clouds

www.indiaonrent.com

Mammatus clouds are cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a cloud. They are formed in sinking air contrary to any other form of clouds that are formed in rising air. There are various hypotheses offered behind the mechanism of its formation.

19. The Hessdalen Light

www.quora.com

Hessdalen Light is an unexplained light phenomenon that occurs in Hessdalen valley of Norway. They were observed over 15 to 20 times per week from 1982 until 1984. Since then, the activity has decreased and now the lights are observed about 10 to 20 times per year.

20. Brinicles

www.listverse.com

When the surface of the sea freezes—such as around the north and south poles—it does so in a way that forces pockets of especially cold and salty seawater to gather on the underside of the ice. This mixture of brine is denser than the seawater below it, and as a result it tends to slowly sink to the bottom. Now, because it’s so cold, the fresher water below the brine actually freezes around it as it falls, which results in a giant icicle under the surface.

21. Earthquake Lights

www.youtube.com

Earthquake lights are unusual luminous atmospheric phenomenon. They are usually reportedly in areas of high seismic activity or volcanic eruptions. They were believed to be myths until they were photographed in 1965 during the Matsushiro earthquake of Japan. It was then that seismologists worldwide accepted of their existence. Earthquake lights are caused by an unknown mechanism. They are either white, blue or multi-spectrum.

22. Ball Lightning

www.library.thinkquest.org

www.csironewsblog.com

Ball lightning is an unexplained atmospheric electrical phenomenon. The term refers to reports of luminous, usually spherical objects which vary from pea-sized to several meters in diameter. It is usually associated with thunderstorms, but lasts considerably longer than the split-second flash of a lightning bolt. Many of the early reports say that the ball eventually explodes, sometimes with fatal consequences, leaving behind the odor of sulfur.

Jupiter-bound Juno spacecraft breaks solar power distance record

NASA’s Juno spacecraft bound for a rendezvous with Jupiter in July has set a record as the most distant solar-powered space probe ever flown.

Juno broke the record previously held by the European Space Agency’s Rosetta spacecraft Jan. 13 as it flew about 493 million miles (793 million kilometers) from the sun, NASA said in a press release announcing the milestone.

When it enters orbit around Jupiter on July 4, the Juno spacecraft will become the first solar-powered mission to reach the gas giant, beginning 20 months of commissioning and science observations aimed at studying the structure of the planet’s interior and atmosphere.

Juno carries three large solar panels, each one 9 feet wide and 29 feet long, to generate electricity.

Shortly after the mission’s launch in 2011, the solar power system could convert sunlight into 14 kilowatts of energy. When Juno reaches Jupiter, which orbits five times farther from the sun than Earth, the spacecraft must operate on 500 watts.

Half of Juno’s electricity budget goes to its thermal system to keep the spacecraft at a comfortable temperature. The balance goes toward communications, computers, propulsion and operating the probe’s seven scientific instruments and color camera.

All eight probes that previously explored the realm of the solar system now occupied by Juno relied on nuclear power sources, but the U.S. government’s stockpile of space-grade plutonium was diminishing when engineers designed Juno, prompting a decision to build three huge solar panels for the spacecraft.

Juno’s solar panels are arranged in a triangular shape in space. All together, the panels have an area of about 635 square feet, larger than most studio apartments.

Juno’s solar panels consist of 18,698 individual cells, each measuring approximately 3.7 inches by 2.25 inches. The rectangular cells are made of silicon and gallium arsenide.

A rocket firing will steer the Juno spacecraft into a polar orbit around Jupiter, kicking off about 20 months of science observations comprising more than 30 laps around the huge gas giant.

Juno will initially be captured in a long, egg-shaped orbit that takes 53.5 days to complete one trip around Jupiter. A follow-up maneuver in October will reduce the high point of Juno’s orbit, moving it closer to the planet to allow the craft to complete one lap every 14 days.

That is a change from Juno’s original flight plan, which called for the probe to first go into a 107-day orbit, then switch to an 11-day orbit.

Scientists say the new plan allows Juno to complete a first look at meeting the mission’s science goals, which are centered on Jupiter’s interior, atmosphere and magnetic field, in shorter time than previously anticipated. But it means Juno will need 20 months, five months longer than originally planned, to collect the mission’s full data set.

Besides the challenges imposed by the distance from the sun to Jupiter, engineers had to account for the harsh radiation environment around the giant planet.

Engineers conducted extra testing before Juno’s launch to ensure the solar cells, computers and wiring in the spacecraft’s power and control system can endure Jupiter’s doughnut-shaped radiation belts as it passes as close as 3,100 miles over the planet’s cloud tops, closer than any mission before.

Juno will encounter radiation equivalent to receiving 100 million dental X-rays during its mission at Jupiter.

Juno’s flight computers, avionics and commanding system are wrapped inside a solid titanium box on top of the spacecraft. Known as the vault, the radiation-shielding container is about the size of a microwave oven and weighs nearly 500 pounds fully loaded.

But the solar panels could not be put in the vault, so engineers doubled the thickness of the cover glass over each cell to protect them from radiation. Otherwise, Juno’s solar cells are off the shelf, meeting the same qualification levels required for other space missions.

Engineers expect the solar cells to degrade over time as they are zapped by radiation, but not within Juno’s 20-month primary mission.

Future robotic missions to Jupiter will also employ solar panels, building on technologies demonstrated by Juno.

ESA’s first spacecraft to visit the outer solar system, the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, set for launch in 2022 will rely on solar power for its mission to study three of the planet’s largest moons. JUICE will eventually swing into orbit around Ganymede, becoming the first mission to enter orbit around one of Jupiter’s moons.

NASA’s Europa mission, an uncrewed probe in development to repeatedly fly past Jupiter’s most famous moon, will also use solar power generators. Managers chose solar power over nuclear power for the mission in 2014.

SETI Institute launches radio search for alien life amid 20,000 red dwarf stars

BY ALAN BOYLE

The SETI Institute is shifting the focus of its search for extraterrestrial intelligence to places that could harbor life that’s not as we know it: 20,000 red-dwarf star systems.

“Red dwarfs – the dim bulbs of the cosmos – have received scant attention by SETI scientists in the past,” SETI Institute engineer Jon Richard said today in a news release announcing the initiative. “That’s because researchers made the seemingly reasonable assumption that other intelligent species would be on planets orbiting stars similar to the sun.”

Red dwarfs are nothing like the sun: The brightest of the breed are a tenth as luminous as the sun, and some are just 0.01 percent as bright. But astronomers say they account for three-quarters of all stars.

The star that’s closest to our sun, Proxima Centauri, is a red dwarf. A variety of observing efforts, including the Pale Red Dot initiative, are looking for planets around Proxima Centauri.

Astrobiologists had assumed that red dwarfs put out too little light to support life on alien planets, but that was before astronomers started finding Earth-sized worlds in close orbits around distant stars. Now it’s thought that 6 percent or more of all red dwarfs have potentially habitable, Earth-sized planets.

Another plus for the prospects of red-dwarf life is that such stars are amazingly long-lived: Astronomers have already detected a super-Earth known as Kapteyn bthat orbits an 11.5 billion-year-old red dwarf. That makes the star and the planet 2.5 times older than Earth.]

“This may be one instance in which older is better,” SETI Institute astronomer Seth Shostak said. “Older solar systems have had more time to produce intelligent species.”

The red-dwarf search is being conducted using the institute’s Allen Telescope Array, a network of linked radio telescopes that was built amid the Cascade Mountains of Northern California using seed money from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.

This artist’s impression shows a sunset seen from the super-Earth Gliese 667 Cc. The brightest star in the sky is the red dwarf Gliese 667 C, which is part of a triple star system. The other two more distant stars, Gliese 667 A and B, appear to the right in the sky. (Credit: L. Calcada / ESO)

The targets are being chosen from a list of about 70,000 red dwarfs compiled byBoston University’s Andrew West. SETI astronomers will check targeted systems over several frequency bands between 1 and 10 GHz.

“Roughly half of those bands will be at so-called ‘magic frequencies’ – places on the radio dial that are directly related to basic mathematical constants,” SETI Institute scientist Gerry Harp said. “It’s reasonable to speculate that extraterrestrials trying to attract attention might generate signals at such special frequencies.”

Past searches by the SETI Institute have targeted about 1,000 nearby sunlike stars – as well as stars where NASA’s Kepler telescope detected planets, and even theoddball “alien megastructure” star known as KIC 8462852.

Although there have been some intriguing false alarms, no signals from extraterrestrial civilizations have yet been detected.

By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

STAR News Group was graced by an old friend on Thursday when Channel Ten’s The Project dropped in for a chat with resident Westall UFO expert and journalist Cameron Lucadou-Wells.
Project producer Tania Palich took the long journey out to Pakenham to chat with Dandenong Journal reporter Cameron Lucadou-Wells who has been covering the developing Westall flying saucer incident for the past 10 years.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Tania said when she found out where she was going.
“It was like going back in time when I drove in,” she said because it was Star News Group that handed Tania her first electrical typewriter.
“My dad was part owner at Barry Bourke Holden Warragul and he advertised with the Pakenham Gazette, so that’s how I go the internship,” Tania said.
Spending two months as an interning journalist, Tania learnt the ropes from Star owner and editor at the time, Dot Thomas.
“I remember going out on jobs in a big Ford sedan, having just got my licence without any P plates on,” she said, laughing.
But with a hard earned regional start in journalism, Tania has forged a successful career working for some of Australia’s top media firms, including Seven News and the Herald Sun.

“I was here at the Pakenham office 23 years ago – I was tossing up whether to become a teacher or a journalist,” Tania said.
And it’s Melbourne’s keen interest in what played out on 6 April 1966 at Westall High School in Dandenong that had Tania back on her old stomping ground.
The exclusive interview with Cameron discussed what he’s learnt about the mysterious flying figure from eyewitnesses and just how vivid their memories are today, 50 years on.
Look out for the Journal’s special report on the Westall UFO incident in the Journal online on Friday 1 April and in the Journal newspaper on Monday 4 April.
The Project special report will go to air at 6.30pm on Tuesday 5 April.

Teens Arrested In Connection To Stolen UFO At Roswell, New Mexico, March 31, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of event: March 2016
Location of event: Roswell, New Mexico, USA
News source: 

http://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/arrest-made-in-roswell-ufo-caper

These kids were probably trying to steal it to make a Youtube video of a faked UFO crash. I see they destroyed the disk, which does look like a disk crashed there. Youtube seems to be a big outlet for kids today and peer pressure probably pushed them into it.

Coast to Coast states:
Police in Roswell have apprehended a teenager that they believe was one of the pranksters behind the theft and destruction of the famed International UFO Museum flying saucer. The audacious crime made headlines last week after authorities released security camera footage showing three men stealing the iconic model UFO. An unfortunate post-script was added to the tale when police subsequently discovered the craft smashed to pieces on the side of a road. But it appears that justice may soon be served with the arrest of the seventeen-year old suspect, who was brought to the attention of authorities via an anonymous tip. As of now, the young man is refusing to divulge the identities of his accomplices in the caper nor what motivated their saucer smashing. Based on the suspect being seventeen years old, we're guessing that it somehow involved impressing a girl. Nonetheless, since he is not providing any answers to investigators, police are hoping that additional insights from the public can help lead to the capture of his co-conspirators. Let's hope they act fast, because with news of their cohort being taken into custody, the remaining members of the coterie of craft smashers may make a run it and the Mexican border is only a mere 160 miles away.

Had The Jupiter Meteorites Hit Earth, It Would Have Been An Extinction Level Event, March 17, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Above is negative effect to see the meteor or meteors that hit.

Date of sighting: March 17, 2016
Location of sighting: Jupiter

Several large meteorites struck Jupiter last week and the videos were captured by an amateur astronomer. In the negative photos below, you can make out the shape of the object, which is not what you would expect. This looks small, but if you compare it to the earth photo below, you will see this would be considered an ELE, extinction level event had it hit earth. It could happen this afternoon, tomorrow or on your birthday...and NASA would not have even had a glint of info about it before it hits. That is how helpless earth is in this solar system.

UFO Exits Ground Below Chinese Fish Farm, Causing 25 Tonnes of Fish To Disappear! March 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: March 2016
Location of discovery:  Guangxi Zhuang, China
News source: 

http://news.yahoo.com/farmer-loses-25-tonnes-of-fish-after-they-are-124456637.html

The question I present to you is, if this is a sink hole, then why does it have straight, 90 degree angle edges? It should have a slopped angle down. The fish should have filled a small cavern, but for all that water to disappear, there is something very big...very hollow down there with room to spare...like a base. I do believe that this is the entrance or exit of a UFO. UFO often leave their underground bases, and when they do the ground is separated and them pushed back together, however, the water prevented the ground from going back into place, thus creating a hole, probably several km deep to the alien base itself. I would really like to see the look on their faces when a rain of farm fish falls from the base sky onto them.

New Book Claims US Presidents Know The Truth About Extraterrestrials

A new book claims that all presidents since the war, have known about alien visits to Earth. When U.S. President Reagan said he had met extraterrestrials, most Americans assumed he was kidding. President Barack Obama said in March 2012 landing at Roswell, New Mexico that “I come in peace.” The site is famous for the alleged alien spaceship crash landing.

When asked about the recovered extraterrestrial bodies from the wreckage, he said, “If I told you I would have to kill you… we’re going to keep our secrets here.”

A new book “The Presidents and UFOs: A Secret History From FDR to Obama” (Amazon link) claims that US presidents, from Roosevelt to Obama, have known of evidence regarding extraterrestrial visitation on Earth, leaving spaceship debris, alien corpse, and resulting inthousands of UFO sightings.

Recently, a leaked memo written by US Army chief of staff general Gorge C Marshall to President D Roosevelt in March 1942 reveals that “Headquarters has come to the determination that the mystery airplanes are in fact not earthly and according to secret intelligence sources that are in all probability of interplanetary origin.”

In a reply, President Roosevelt urged the “finding of practical uses for the atomic secrets learned from the study of celestial devices.”

In another memo from Roosevelt, he wrote, “coming to grips with the reality that our planet isn’t the only one harboring intelligent life in the universe.” He continued “We’ll take every advantage of such wonders that have come to us.”

The authenticity of the memos has been fiercely debated. These memos are just part of multiple pieces of evidence uncovered by Larry Holcombe in his new book.

Holcombe, 71, stresses that UFOs exist, and alien life has visited Earth. He explained that evidence is enormous that no reasonable person can deny the existence of extraterrestrials.

Actresses Lucille Ball and Shirley MacLaine, who were in a party together with actor Reagan, claimed Reagan told them that a UFO initially blocked his road to the party. An alien eventually came up and told Reagan to leave acting and go into politics.

President Harry S Truman had allegedly formed the Majestic 12 in 1942, a committee of scientists and military who secretly cover up extraterrestrial activities.

Late in the Second World War Dwight D Eisenhower supposedly met with Winston Churchill to discuss a close encounter of RAF reconnaissance aircraft with a UFO near the English coastline.

President John F Kennedy demanded to hand him over the CIA’s secret files. President Bill Clinton has once said that he attempted to get UFO information that was withheld from him. President Richard Nixon reportedly authorized a UFO documentary to use secret video of an alien craft landing but was stopped by intelligence chiefs.

Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist By Aaron John Gulyas

Are you a fan of the UFO and ET phenomena? If your answer is yes then the Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist (Amazon Link)is one of the books that you must check out from the shelves.

Historian-writer and Professor Aaron John Gulyas published the book in the year 2013. Since then, the book has never run-out of credits from the UFO community.

A recent review from Eric Hoffman in openminds.tv pointed out the books jargon-free, scholarly research and insightful-analysis that gives every reader a well-informed and unbiased publication that is worthy of adding into a collection of personal favorites.

The second recent book review came from Robert S. Ellwood of novareligio.com has mentioned how great the influence of the “space brothers” and contactee movement of the 1950’s in sculpting the present political, sociological and cultural conduct of the human race. Overall, the book had a positive response from the satisfied community.

The unbiased scholarly disposition of Gulyas’s in his first book makes the reading experience to be more sensible with a professional point of argument rather than just sighting all the crazy stuffs all at once that oftentimes bring up more questions than answers. The need for clarification of the truth that is sometimes missing in conventional UFO and ET publications was deeply satisfied.

One of the best offers of Gulyas in this book is how he caught America’s beliefs and ideas during the contactee movement which began in the early 1950’s. During these times, there was a string of people who claimed to be visited and communicated by alien beings from different planets. One of the most famous encounters is from George Adamski, who is said to have been friends with a Venusian alien named “Orthon” whose mission is to stop the Earth from destroying itself and send a message of peace, love and interstellar relationship to the Earth. Gulyas presented his facts on how the tale of Adamski became one of the most famous norms in the contactee movement. Gulyas also discussed the encounters by George Van Tassel, George King, Truman Betherum and George Hunt Williamson.

The book also explores the speculation of the “Men in Black” to be a government secret agency that has special connections to the FBI in investigating U.S. citizens and their relationship with UFOs. Later the mind-boggling story captured Hollywood’s creativity and adapted the story to create their box office hit MIB (Men in Black).

The book Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist is perhaps one of the best books that bring both the excitement of the ET phenomenon and the fact finding investigations in a professional taste, which in most cases the way that the extraterrestrial genre must be tackled.

How Ancient Alien Civilizations Almost Destroyed the Earth

Nick Redfern Reveals Evidence of Hostile Alien Events in Centuries Past

Nick Redfern’s vast, world-wide audience is anxiously awaiting the chance to dive into his latest blockbuster, Weapons of the Gods: How Ancient Alien Civilizations Almost Destroyed the Earth (Amazon Link).  Flamboyantly controversial and dependably thought-provoking, Redfern is one of the

foremost experts on government conspiracies, UFOs, aliens and ancient civilizations. In Weapons of the Gods, he studies long-gone civilizations to answer the question: did previous cultures blossom, develop, and thrive, only to destroy themselves, tens or hundreds of thousands of years ago, with the same atomic technology as the bombs that decimated Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

In this startling new book, Redfern reveals evidence of Armageddon-level events in the biblical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah , the ancient Pakistani culture of Mohenjo-daro, Pakistan, and the Lonar Crater in India. In the epic Sanskrit texts of Ramayana and Mahabharata are descriptions of nuclear warfare that took place thousands of years ago.

Redfern argues that many previous civilizations cracked the secrets of the atom, only to become the victims of its terrifying power, while others may have been destroyed by hostile aliens with their own nuclear arsenals.

A reviewer remarked, “You can always count of Nick Redfern for quality conspiracy and UFO literature. His books have run the gamut from alien abduction to exposes on the infamous ‘Men in Black’ to the search for elusive creatures. (He) makes the world of the paranormal so compelling for his readers.”

A popular speaker and media guest, Redfern is the author of dozens of bestsellers on UFOs, cryptozoology, and the world of the paranormal; and, he has appeared on countless TV shows.

Amazing footage of a UFO over Massachusetts 29-Mar-2016

Check out this interesting video of a strange craft flying at low altitude in the night sky above Massachusetts. This was filmed yesterday, on 30th March 2016.

Witness report: Driving towards the Village Commons in South Hadley, my friend and I could see two bright lights in the sky that kind of looked like head lights. They were just sitting in the same spot for a very long time. We could see them about a half a mile away. As we got towards the center of the village commons, it looked as though the ufo was now over us. The two lights that we had previously seen turned into three very bright lights. As we were freaking out I had climbed into the backseat of the car and stuck my head out the window. I could see the three very bright lights in a triangle shape and as I was looking at them, I could make out the circular shape of the craft. It looked very low and gigantic. Not long after it just sat above us and hovered, it started to move very fast and get far away. At this point, I needed to head home but my friend who witnessed it with me, continued to search for it after I left. She found it again on 202 in South Hadley and followed it all the way to Memorial Drive in Chicopee. She called me freaking out saying how close she was to it and that she was going to pul over to try and capture a picture. As soon as she parked, she said she was underneath it like we were before, and then the phone started to act up. I started to lose her and eventually our call dropped. She called me back freaking out telling me she captured pictures and a video. I strongly believe that I saw a ufo tonight. You can watch the video and decide for yourself whether or not you believe my story.

Rendleshams Moment Of TRUTH – And The 1000’s Of Top Secret UFO Photos To Be Published?

It has recently come to light that a former US Naval officer who claims his secrecy agreement with the American Government has now expired is vowing to lift the lid on thousands of top-secret UFO files he claims to have seen – and there isn’t anything that the US Government can do about it.

The man, who says he was a third-class petty officer at the Naval Telecommunications Centre within NAS Moffett Field from February 1986 to October 1989, also claims he can shed light on the mysterious mass-UFO sighting involving military personal in 1980.

This man has yet to be named, but a former British MoD UFO investigator confirmed recently that this man is complexly genuine source, creating a flurry of excitement throughout the planet.

Nick Pope, who was put in charge by the British MoD with investigating UK UFO cases, including the Rendlesham incident, said:

“I’ve actually had some personal communication with this individual, and have no doubts about his background”.

“It’s clear from the language he uses and the information he has that he’s a genuine insider.”

But Mr Pope then went on and suddenly stopped short of encouraging the whistleblower to come out into the open – as if he felt he had a duty to NOT encourage the matter.  He said:

“While my own secrecy oath means I can’t encourage anyone to divulge classified information without proper authority, I’m obviously very interested in his story.

“As I conducted the MoD’s cold case review of the Rendlesham Forest incident I’m particularly keen to hear about anything that would shed new light on this case.” Nick said.

Former MOD Nick Pope

The now famous Rendlesham legend has been dubbed Britain’s very own Roswell after the mystery UFO crash said to have happened outside the town in New Mexico, USA, in July 1947.

The UK UFO sighting happened in the early hours of December 26 1980, when three US officers based at RAF Bentwaters claimed a “triangular shaped craft” landed in neighbouring woods – This case has led to several reported sightings on the night by the public and several books and conspiracies.

The man, who has not been publicly named, is now claiming that the US National Security Agency (NSA) and the UK Government had a going project looking at UFO sightings, which included the Rendlesham incident back in the 1980s.

The man has filed a report to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) -, saying that he wants to help reach “disclosure”.

In the report filed recently he said:

“I’m not reporting a UFO sighting rather a UFO related experience. 

“I have copies of my security clearances.

“I personally handled, viewed and delivered thousands of documents involving UFO/ET Projects. 

“My secrecy agreement with the US Government expired in October 2014. 

“At this point in my life I would like to share my knowledge in hopes that someone will be able to use it effectively towards disclosure.” He said.

News of the World reports of Rendlesham at the time

The unknown man then went on to confirm that he was given TS SBI/ESI NATO/SIOP Compartmental Security Clearance, which is Top Secret clearance for working in Special Background Investigation, Single Integrated Operation Plan, Exceptionally Sensitive Information and with NATO.

He then added:

“In addition we had a GS11 employee who was transferred from a Joint US/UK communication station north of London after working at that site for a dozen years. 

“He said it was an National Security Agency (NSA)/UK facility tasked with tracking UFO including Rendalsham Forest Incident. 

“He said that UFO/ET were real and that hopefully disclosure would happen in my lifetime since he was in his early 60s at the time.” 

In the report he went on to say:

“I was required to deliver TS Code word designation COSMIC to SRI, ESL/SYLVANIA, LOCKHEED SKUNKWORKS, TRW, RATHEON, BERKELEY LABS, LAWRENCE LIVERMORE LABS, and other think tanks throughout Silicon valley.”

After some research it appears that at the time in question, Moffett Field was an important naval air base, but is now a MFA as a restricted federal airfield, run by NASA.*  The Lockheed Martin Skunkworks is a global security and aerospace company based in Bethesda, Maryland.

The Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore laboratories and scientific labs which work closely with NASA in California.

Spelt differently, Raytheon Company is a global technology and innovation firm specialising in defence and cybersecurity.

Roger Marsh, who is a MUFON spokesman, said: “This historical case has been assigned to a field investigator within the Californian MUFON group.”  But yet AGAIN they will probably confirm NOTHING and dismiss what appears to be an extremely important piece of disclosure as ‘inconclusive’

Military fencing around the former RAF Bentwaters base still said to be a UFO hotspot

U.I.P SUMMARY – 

Now this is an incredibly IMPORTANT story and one of which us guys at U.I.P will be monitoring VERY closely – it appears that this person is very real and has some very conclusive evidence.

Interestingly this post has been deleted twice after our site had been hacked into a couple of times, so it appears that somebody somewhere does not want this story highlighted in the public eye!?

It was not that long ago that we actually published an article on some strange events that have been witnessed at Rendlesham forest, with some GREAT evidence captured on camera – perhaps there can be no more covering up the events that have happened in the forest and that there is ‘something’ there, perhaps some kind of other worldly gateway which unknown Beings are using to travel through.

We will keep you updated on this story and try to interview the person who is supposedly discloing this information.

Please check out our previous posts before on the Rendlesham event:

Japanese Astronomy Satellite Hitomi Malfunctions, Generates Debris

WASHINGTON — The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is working to restore communications with a new astronomy satellite that malfunctioned March 26, generating debris.

In a March 27 statement, JAXA said it lost communications with the Hitomi satellite at 3:40 a.m. Eastern March 26. "Up to now, JAXA has not been able to figure out the state of health of the satellite," the agency said in the statement.

"We are still trying to recover communication with 'Hitomi', and trying to find out the status and causes of this communication failure," JAXA said in a tweet early March 28, the latest update provided by the agency on the status of recovery efforts.

While JSpOC classified this event as a "breakup," the satellite appears to still be mostly intact, although damaged. JAXA noted that it "received short signals from Hitomi" after the time JSpOC reported for the breakup, but did not indicate exactly when it received the signals or any information they provided about the status of the spacecraft.

Amateur satellite observers, observing Hitomi from the ground, reported on a mailing list late March 27 seeing flashes from the satellite with a period of 5 to 10 seconds. Those flashes suggest that the spacecraft, which is normally three-axis stabilized, is spinning.

Neither JAXA nor JSpOC have speculated on the cause of the malfunction and breakup, which could be due to either a technical problem with the satellite itself or a collision with a micrometeorite or piece of orbital debris. 

JAXA launched Hitomi, originally known as Astro-H, on an H-2A rocket Feb. 17. The 2,700-kilogram satellite carries several instruments to perform x-ray astronomy observations. Some of the spacecraft's instruments were provided by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. The spacecraft was in the middle of a three-month checkout and instrument calibration phase when the malfunction took place.

Viva 'Mars World': Las Vegas May Get Red Planet Experience

An otherworldly tourist attraction could be coming to Sin City a few years from now.

A consortium that includes a renowned space designer wants to build an immersive experience called "Mars World" near the famed Las Vegas Strip by 2021.

The multi-acre simulated city will rise on yet-to-be purchased land somewhere between the I-15 freeway and Las Vegas Boulevard, if all goes according to plan. Visitors will be treated to the music, costumes and culture of a Mars colony. They will take simulated "Marswalks" in one-fourth Earth gravity, ride a tram around the crater in which the city is built and even sleep overnight in rough habitats if they wish. [7 Biggest Mysteries of Mars]

Fundraising for the $2 billion project will take several years. About $500,000 is available now from "key players" in the finance and trademarking/branding world, said chief designer John Spencer, who's also the founder of the Space Tourism Society. A second fundraising round of $17 million has just begun, he added.

"We're really moving forward on this longstanding connection between science fiction and entertainment and real things," Spencer told Space.com. "We developed an approach — we call this a design approach —that what we're doing is not science fiction. It's science future."

Paging Walt Disney

Spencer's space architecture work includes design on the International Space Station and Japan's Space World theme park, as well as early designs for the Science Fiction Museum and Las Vegas' Star Trek: The Experience. He also was the designer for the Aquarius underwater laboratory used by astronauts during NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) missions.

Las Vegas is a natural location for this attraction, Spencer said. About 40 million visitors come every year, with about 8 million of those being first-time visitors. They seek something unique that they can talk to their friends about, Spencer added. He therefore estimates he can pull in about 7 million attendees annually for Mars World.

Doing so will require a lot of work, Spencer acknowledges, but he added he has expertise in raising millions of dollars in space-themed parks. He is studying other "location-based entertainment" master plans, such as that of Disney World in Florida, focusing on elements such as realism.

When the second round of funding is finished, Spencer plans to gather advice on music, interiors, lighting and design from the entertainment world in Los Angeles.

Revenues and audience

While some elements of Mars World will be for children, such as an animatronic petting zoo, the experience will mostly be targeted to the over-21 crowd. Specifically, Spencer is imagining an audience with a mentality similar to that of "Burning Man" desert festival attendees.

"They're pretty rowdy, independent, artistic. Don't agree with authority too much. At Burning Man, clothing is optional," Spencer said. "If you take that as a foundation and extend that out further in the controlled environment, then we have amazing characters, artwork and costumes."

Attendance to the park will be free, but to generate ongoing revenues for the project, Spencer envisions selling merchandise on-site. He also wants to patent certain aspects of the project such as the architecture. But first, his team will need to purchase the land, which will cost about $200 million. He is looking at two tracts, one about 85 acres, the other 66 acres.

Other members of the Mars World team include CEO Lewis Stanton (with executive experience in the hospitality, casino and capital market industries); Chief Marketing Officer Lisa Leight (who among other things, relaunched the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago) and Vice President Garry Willinge (formerly with IBM China, and a director for several private and public company boards).

Clintons New Promise To Disclose The Truth About The ET’s – But Is It a Lie?

Politicians are all pretty much the same type of creature: cunning, manipulative and always try to say the right thing.  But could it that Hilary Clintons latest promise to reveal the truth about the Aliens, is actually one of the most exciting pieces of news about the potential upcoming Disclosure?  Well, possibly not!

What with the Presidential campaign heating up over the last few months, and Hilary Clinton preparing herself for a potential battle against Donald Trump, speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the presidential hopeful said she wanted to make as many of the files on “unexplained aerial phenomena” public as possible – but we all know that have heard this before from Hilary (please click HERE).

Hilary has confirmed that she will release government-held UFO files to the public if she is elected president.  The Democratic candidate spoke out on Jimmy Kimmel Live, as she leads the race against Bernie Sanders for the party’s nomination for November’s election.

Hilary Clinton has basically followed in her husband Bills footsteps, who back in 2014 appeared on the show and was also asked if he had ever looked into UFOs or Area 51 – which as we all know is a top secret airbase rumoured to “back engineer” alien technology!

Bill said “sort of” but added there were no dead aliens there.

Hillary has now promised the US citizens that she will dig deeper if she makes it to the White House and promise to disclose the TRUTH!

Hillary Clinton was speaking about UFOs on Jimmy Kimmel Live

This is now the first time on TV she has spoken about the issue, she told Kimmel:

“I’m going to do it again. There’s a new name for UFOs. It’s unexplained aerial phenomena. That’s the new nomenclature. I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that as public as possible.

“If there’s nothing there, let’s tell people there’s nothing there. If there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public.” She said.

As we have mentioned in a previous post (please click HERE)  this is NOT the first time the Clintons have been linked with aliens.

It was back when Bill was president between 1993 and 1996, he was approached by the late billionaire philanthropist Laurance Rockefeller to release UFO files as part of the ‘Rockefeller initiative’.  Rockefeller who is known to be one of the most wealthiest men in the world and rumoured to be the head of the supposed Illuminati.

Hillary Clinton was also involved in the talks about Aliens and captured on camera walking alongside Laurence at his ranch, holding a book about Alien life!

Hillary Clinton and Laurence Rockefeller UFO-meeting of 21 Aug 1995

Hilary’s campaign manager John Podesta, who is Bill Clintons former Chief of Staff, admitted he had convinced Hillary to declassify UFO files in a TV interview last month- John also recently tweeted that his only ever regret whilst working with Obama was not being able to help force Disclosure (please click HERE).

U.I.P’s friend  and America’s only registered lobbyist on ET/UFOs, Stephen Bassett, hopes the UFO issue will be raised in the upcoming Democratic debates.

John recently said to a UK newspaper:

 “The only circumstance under which a leading presidential candidate, her president husband and their common advisor would repeatedly speak to the ET issue during a campaign is when their collective brain is fully aware the ET presence is fact.” John said.

Leading Bookies have now slashed the odds of finding ET life from 1000/1 to 100/1 after this recent announcement by Hilary Clinton.

A William Hill spokesman said:

“Should Hillary utter the unthinkable words then we are facing a monster payout.”

It might be time to start placing your best people!?

Please check out the below video of the recent Hilary Clinton video:

U.I.P SUMMARY

Well folks it appears that Hilary is becoming desperate now with yet AGAIN mentioning the UFO subject matter and once AGAIN promising to tell all about any information on the UFO’s and Alien Beings.  It is important too remember though that Hilary did state that she will inform the masses about the ET’s but only if its in the best interest of mankind – and this ladies and Gentlemen will be her get out cause for telling the TRUTH about the ET’s!

This is all about the drip feeding of disclosure from the Elite people – Be careful with who you trust as this is a game to the power people!

Top Secret UK Documents Which Prove ‘Aliens EXIST’ To Be Released In Days?

Apparently confidential government reports into UFO sightings – dubbed the “British X-Files” – could be made publicly available within days!

The long-awaited boost for alien hunters follows years of campaigning by the British disclosure movement, who want all world Governments to release all their alien files.

UFO researchers, backed by a House of Lords peer, have been fighting for the release of 18 top secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) files about UFO sightings from more than 30 years ago.

The Government faced claims of a cover-up from conspiracy theorists when their release was stalled at the end of 2013.

Some investigators claim the files could provide key evidence of extra-terrestrial life visiting the UK and of specific information about famous controversial sightings such as the Rendlesham Forest incident – a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and the alleged landing of one or more craft in Suffolk in late December 1980.

Lord Black of Brentwood, who asked the Government for an update through a Parliamentary question last summer, was assured the files would be released by the MoD to the National Archives by March this year.

This could very well be HUGE news for Disclosure – A huge can of worms is about to be opened it appears!

The top-secret files could be declassified within days

This very long-awaited boost for Truth seekers follows years of campaigning by the British disclosure movement, who want all world Governments to release all their alien files.

Leading UFO researchers, backed by a House of Lords peer, have been fighting for the release of 18 top secret Ministry of Defence (MoD) files about UFO sightings from more than 30 years ago!

The British Government faced claims of a cover-up from conspiracy theorists when their release was stalled way back at the end of 2013.

Many leading investigators and researchers believe that these important files could provide key evidence of extra-terrestrial life visiting the UK and of specific information about famous controversial sightings such as the Rendlesham Forest incident – which is a series of reported sightings of unexplained lights and the alleged landing of one or more craft in Suffolk in late December 1980.

Lord Black of Brentwood, who asked the Government for an update through a Parliamentary question last summer, was assured the files would be released by the MoD to the National Archives by March this year – BUT will they stick to this promise!?

Lord Black of Brentwood DEMANDS the truth from the UK Government about the UFO’s in the skies above us!

Truth Seekers around the world are VERY confident that these records could very well prove if extra-terrestrial life actually exists, as these are the most secretive files held in the private offices of various Cabinet ministers – Although the files are being released to the National Archives, it is not yet clear when they will be available for public inspection and many people expect intentional delays, this is because the archive organisation can set its own release date!

In his Parliamentary question, Lord Black asked:

“What is the latest estimate of when the 18 files will be passed to the National Archives, and then released to the public.” He said.

Defence Minister Earl Howe replied:

“The latest estimate of when the 18 files will be delivered to the National Archives is before March 2016.

“The National Archives will make the necessary judgement about when they release these files to the public.”

A large number of older UFO files held by the UK government have already been released, including details of sightings by officials and police.

U.I.P’s friend Nick Pope, who actually used to investigate the existence of UFOs for the MoD, said the files should contain some extremely fascinating sightings.

However, referring to what is often called the most famous UFO claim in history – sparked by claims an alien spaceship crashed in New Mexico, US, in 1947 – Nick Pope added the soon-to-be-released files are probably not a “UK Roswell-style UFO in a hangar style cover up”.

When the release of the files were stalled in 2014, which the MoD blamed on “additional processing requirements”, Mr Pope sympathised with alien researchers and also believed that these were potential ‘delaying tactics’.

He said at the time:

“This massive delay will have conspiracy theorists up in arms. It looks like the MoD is stalling.

“The suspicion will be that there’s a bombshell in these files and that the Ministry does not know how to handle it.

“I can understand why conspiracy theorists will be angry and suspicious.”

Nick Pope also demands the TRUTH.

Nick Pope worked for the British MoD for at least 21 years, but was specifically assigned to investigate UFOs for an intriguing three-year period!

He said:

“Having worked on the MoD’s UFO project I’m sorry to say that we don’t have any crashed spaceships hidden away in some RAF hangar, as some believe, but we do have some fascinating and unexplained cases in our files.”

The ‘Redlesham Forest incident’, which is alleged to have taken place near RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, in 1980, saw US Airman First Class John Burroughs, who was stationed there, exposed to radiation after a mystery “UFO visitation”.

He has since won damages from the American military, but still wants answers about what happened and hopes they will be in the new files.

Pat Frascogna, his lawyer, said:

“We know there is information contained in these MoD files about the Rendlesham Forest incident because the MoD clearly indicated so in responding to a Freedom of Information request by John Burroughs last year.” 

Check out this incredible sighting at Rendlesham recently involving a British Apache Gunship and an Orb:

U.I.P SUMMARY – Us guys at U.I.P do not want to get you all too over excited about this as we have all been let down before, however with so many key figures involved including British ‘Lords’ this could very well be a HUGE piece of drip feeding of Disclosure – we told you all that 2016 was going to be an important year of discovery lets hope that stories like this are true and give some IMPORTANT factual evidence!

But can we trust the ELITE to tell us all the TRUTH!?

Argentina: A Red Sphere Emerged at Punta Piedras

Argentina: A Red Sphere Emerged at Punta Piedras
By Pachi La Fata

Researchers of UFO-related phenomena refer to these events as "skywatches" - meetings held in various parts of the country to observe and investigate so-called UFO hotspots. The main goal is, of course, a direct experience with unidentified flying objects. Within this framewoerk, one of the most spectacular occurences happened in the locality of Punta Piedras, facing the River Plate in Buenos Aires.

It was there that several experts on the subject were able to witness a reddish sphere rise out of the water, climb several meters, change its color to orange and finally speed off toward Uruguay. The incredible case occurred on July 25, 2009 at a site north of the Bay of San Borombón, and was witnessed by members of the GABIE Group, whom aside from UFO research, also engage in astronomy and other scientific studies. They were Pablo Lasa, Ariel Cóppola, Martín Costes, Fernando Lisardo, Nicolas Lisardo y Catriel, who were present throughout the event.

According to the story, the sigthing took place from a camp ground known as El Desanso in Punta Piedras. "The skywatch had been scheduled for the previous weekend, but it was necessary to reschedule it due to weather conditions," they explained.

Martín Costes was the group member who was best able to see the phenomenon in detail. "Pablo, Ariel, Fernando and their two children were near me by the bonfire, discussing subjects pertaining to astronomy, when the conversation took a turn and we started talking about UFOs," he said, adding: "After a few minutes of conversation, I got up to import weather data from the weather station in my tablet. So I turned my back to the fire, which was only a few meters from the base. I was standing up, when something told me to go toward the river. I decided to pay attention and did so."

At that moment, an episode he'll never forget too place. "When I got there, only a few seconds after seeing the river, I saw a brillant red sphere rising out the water, approximately 20 meters long. It moved repeatedly from left to right, parallel to the river," he explained in detail. According to the witness, "the object began disappearing little by little until distance kept us from seeing it. Bear in mind that other people in the campground didn't hear it, althought they were only five meters from where I was standing."

"In other words, I wasn't able to hear the conversations of my companions by the bonfire. That's not all. Another thing to highlight is that I was in shock for almost 15 minutes after the sighting. This happened at 1 in the morning," remarked the specialist.

Costes, whose story was broadcast on the Codigo OVNI radio show, explained that "the entire episode lasted some 3 minutes. My companions managed to see around 30 seconds to a full minute, perhaps, of the phenomenon."

NASA's 'Spaceport of the Future' Reaches Another Milestone

NASA has completed a major milestone on its journey to Mars and is ready to begin another phase of work on its spaceport of the future, where the next generation of astronauts will launch to Mars and other deep-space destinations.

The agency recently wrapped up a comprehensive and successful review of plans for the facilities and ground support systems that will process the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

“NASA is developing and modernizing the ground systems at Kennedy to safely integrate Orion with SLS, move the vehicle to the pad, and successfully launch it into space,” said Bill Hill, deputy associate administrator of NASA’s Exploration Systems Development Division at the agency’s Headquarters in Washington. “Modernizing the ground systems for our journey to Mars also ensures long-term sustainability and affordability to meet future needs of the multi-use spaceport.”

Over the course of a few months, engineers and experts across the agency reviewed hundreds of documents as part of a comprehensive assessment. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program (GSDO), responsible for processing SLS and Orion for flight and ensuring all systems and facilities are ready, completed its critical design review (CDR) of the facilities and ground support systems plans in December 2015.

This was followed in January by the completion of an independent assessment by a Standing Review Board, a team of aerospace experts that assessed program readiness and confirmed the program is on track to complete the engineering design and development process on budget and on schedule. 

In the final step before actual fabrication, installation and testing of Kennedy's ground systems, the GSDO program and review board briefed the results of their assessments to NASA’s Agency Program Management Council, led by Associate Administrator Robert Lightfoot.

Engineers are transforming Kennedy's launch infrastructure to support the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft. The heavy-lift rocket will be stacked in the Vehicle Assembly Building on the mobile launcher and roll out to Launch Pad 39B atop a modified crawler transporter. The Orion spacecraft will be fueled with propellants in the Multi-Payload Processing Facility at Kennedy prior to stacking atop the rocket. The launch team will use the new command and control system in the firing room as the clock counts down to liftoff of SLS’s first flight.

“The team is working hard and we are making remarkable progress transforming our facilities," said Mike Bolger, GSDO Program Manager. "As we are preparing for NASA's journey to Mars, the outstanding team at the Kennedy Space Center is ensuring that we will be ready to receive SLS and Orion flight hardware and process the vehicle for the first flight in 2018."

The council also heard the results of the Orion CDR, completed at the program level in October 2015. The evaluation assessed the primary systems of the spacecraft, including the capsule’s structures, pyrotechnics, Launch Abort System jettison, guidance, navigation and control and software systems among many other elements. 

For the spacecraft’s first mission on the SLS rocket, ESA (European Space Agency) is providing Orion’s service module, which powers, propels, cools and provides consumables like air and water in space. Results from ESA's service module design review, which began this month, will be assessed and incorporated into Orion development and integration plans later this summer. Systems unique to the first crewed flight will be addressed at a review in the fall of 2017.

Progress continues on Orion at NASA facilities across the country. The underlying structure of the crew module arrived at Kennedy in early February for outfitting, which is currently underway. Over the next 18 months, thousands of Orion components will arrive and be installed.

Meanwhile, a structural representation of the service module is being tested at NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, where engineers conducted a successful solar array wing deployment test on Feb. 29 and are preparing for a variety of tests to confirm it can withstand the harsh conditions of launch.

Zal deze planeet met de aarde botsen?

Sorry beste Zita-lezer, we hebben slecht nieuws. Volgens doemdenkers zal onze aarde nog dit jaar ophouden te bestaan: een dodelijke planeet ligt op ramkoers met onze blauwe bol.

Dat is tenminste wat fans van samenzweringen en doemsdagtheorieën denken. Ze geloven dat er een mysterieuze ‘extra’ planeet in ons zonnestelsel aanwezig is. De planeet Nibiru zal plots opduiken en ons allemaal doden. Op zich is de theorie niet zo gek: wetenschappers vonden onlangs bewijzen van het bestaan van een negende planeet. Dus wie weet zijn we allemaal gedoemd.

De planeet zal volgens ‘Breaking Israel News’ op 28 september botsen met de aarde. Je duidt die datum dus best met een vette rode stift aan in je agenda. Overigens hoef je niet meteen te panikeren: dezelfde doemdenkers dachten ook dal dat Nibiru onze planeet in september en december van vorig jaar zou vernietigen.

Bovendien bestaat Nibiru of ‘Planeet X’ niet echt: indien ze wel zou bestaan en op ramkoers zou liggen met de aarde, dan hadden astronomen deze al lang ontdekt.

Grey Aliens: Where Are They From - New UFO Documentary 2015

'Aliens head for VLADIMIR PUTIN' as UFO spotted over Russian leader’s home city

BIZARRE footage has emerged online appearing to show a triangular UFO hovering in the skies over Russian president Vladimir Putin's home city of St Petersburg.

Close encounters of the County Limerick kind

Gerry Battles

“IT was a clear, dry night. It was really crisp and frosty — just beautiful. You could have read a book with the light off the night sky, but I wasn’t drawn by the light of the stars or the moon but by a bright, surgical, white light coming from the other end of the boreen.”

These are the words of County Limerick man Gerry Battles in the final moments leading up to what he is convinced was an alien abduction near his family home in Pallaskenry on December 26, 2001.

The 61-year-old retired carpenter told the Limerick Post this week that he had been returning home from The Seven Sisters Pubs in Kildimo around 8pm, after having two Christmas drinks with a friend.

“I was only minutes away from my house but it was such a clear and beautiful night that I stopped to gaze at the stars,” he explains.

After being drawn by a bright, otherworldly, white light at the end of the laneway, the next thing he remembers is finding himself aboard a spacecraft with about 40 others — all in a subdued state, standing motionless like statues.

“They were all male, of different age groups, all standing shoulder to shoulder like mannequins. I remember one man next to me wearing a Columbo-style coat and hat. We were all in a state of paralysis, I could only move my eyes, so I couldn’t see much,” Gerry tells me.

“The next thing I remember floating into another bigger chamber with a 360 degree viewing deck. It was then I saw the extraterrestrial. I couldn’t tell how big he was or even if he had arms or legs, all I remember is his big cone head and his beautiful, ginormous eyes. They were jet black, almost like mirrors.

“He spoke to me through telepathy and said: “you are not terrified like the others”.

“No, I am not. Should I be?” Gerry asked.

The alien then quizzed the Limerick grandfather about what he would like to see.

“The North Pole”, came his instant reply.

“The next thing the extraterrestrial gave a command, and in an instant we were at the North Pole. I was in awe. I remember thinking of that line from ‘Star Trek’: “warp speed Mr Sulu”. It was like driving through a snowstorm at 500 miles an hour.”

Gerry admits that anyone he has revealed this fantastical story to thinks he is mad. He laughs when I ask if he has any history of mental illness.

“No, not at all,” he assures me.

This quiet-natured gentleman is adamant that the message relayed to him by the creature he encountered is an important one for all mankind to hear. He feels those who laugh at his tale of alien abduction are “naïve and have small imaginations”, and urges them to open their minds.

The message relayed to Mr Battles on Stephen’s Night 2001 by his alien abductor warned of Planet Earth’s pending doom and predicted that mankind could go the same way as the dinosaurs.

“You have come a long way in such a short space of time but your time is running out,” Gerry was told.

“In 850 years from now, a giant asteroid the size of Munster is going to obliterate your planet. The asteroid will approach your planet from the 35th Quadrant.

We are four million light years more advanced than you are. We have been observing you for Millennia. In all that time you have only excelled at two things — global warfare and lying to your own species.

“You must use the force. Be one with the force. Harness the force,” the alien advised.

Surprisingly, the following part of the intergalactic message sounds more likely to have been relayed by anti-austerity campaigners than Jedi-powered Martians.

“He told me that every one of our governments have been lying to us from day one and not to trust them. He also warned not to trust the banks as they have been lying as well and have a hidden agenda.

“He also forewarned the impending global financial crisis and told me that if we do not change our ways we are going to end up like the dinosaurs.”

Mr Battles has no recollection of how long the abduction lasted and had no memory of it afterwards until the coat he was wearing that night turned up in a most unlikely location.

“A contractor working at the Regional Hospital found the coat up on the hospital roof a few weeks later. I have no idea how it got there. It was only after having the coat returned to me that the events of December 26, 2001, started to come back to me.”

He believes aliens use ‘dark matter’ or ‘dark energy’, an invisible cloaking device, to keep their universe hidden from our own. He is hopeful his story will reach the world’s scientific community and prove useful in helping to finally uncover these distant galaxies.

“The truth is definitely out there,” he insists.

Human Skull Found in Greece Challenges the Out of Africa Theory of Evolution

There are many discoveries that challenge the well-established scientific beliefs of evolution, but most of them are being denied or covered-up by the elites who have a certain interest in keeping history as it is.

---

 In 1959, a narrow cave was found in Northern Greece by a shepherd boy. When venturing inside with a couple of local villagers, they’ve discovered the cave was rich in minerals and after further digging inside out of curiosity, the locals found an out of place relic – a human skull embedded in a cave-wall. Later excavations unearthed many fossil remains of pre-humans, animals, and tools made of bone and stone.

 

The skull was extracted from the Petralona cave where it had been discovered and was furtherly sent to the University Thessaloniki in Greece for a more detailed research. Archaeologists agreed that after a complete study had been conducted, the skull will be sent to the local museum where its history would be known to others.

 

 

However, this never happened since the analysis of the skull revealed it had been trapped inside that cave for approximately 700,000 years, making it the oldest human eropeoid of the age ever discovered in Europe. Dr. Paulianos who researched the skull revealed that ‘The Petralona Man’ evolved independently in Europe and he was not a descendent of any of the species that came out of Africa.

 

In other words, the skull held clear evidence of a different evolutionary path followed by humans in Europe that directly contradicted with the ‘Out of Africa’ theory, a doctrine accepted by modern science.

 

In 1964, a group of German researchers tried to debunk the findings of Dr. Paulianos by claiming that the skull was nearly 50,000 years old and that it was in fact from a species of humans originating from Africa. However, analysis conducted in 1971 by a team of US researchers showed once again that the Petralona skull was indeed 700,000 years old. They managed to establish the date based on the examination of the caves sediments and stratigraphy.

 

Scientists from twelve countries ran different tests on the skull. All of them received similar results that credit the work of Dr. Paulino as being correct. Research continued until 1983 when Greece was taken over by a dictatorship which ordered for all remains found in the cave to be deprived of public access, including foreign researchers. That’s when the challenging discovery remained on hold for more than 15 years, and the Greek government offered no viable argument for their decision.

 

The issue was later taken to court by the Anthropological Society of Greece and scientists were once again given free access to the cave. This was a minor victory whatsoever, since the Ministry of Culture has allegedly tried to get the courts to rule in their favor and once again restrict the access to the site. I know it comes hard to believe from a democratic point of view, but no conclusive argument was given by the Greek government as to why they wanted the cave secured.

 

 

Researchers today have determined the skull is that of Homo Erectus, an ancient hominid, but it also has characteristics of Neanderthals and strong European traits as well. According to the latest tests, the skull appears to be either Homo Sapiens or part Homo Sapiens, thus putting the skull in direct conflict with the ‘out of Africa’ theory.

 

Dr. Poulianos’ findings reject the ‘out of Africa’ theory, reason for why his research was deliberately suppressed in today’s academic circles. The doctor and his wife were also assaulted and injured in their home back in 2012. To dig deeper into the wound, the Greek government deprived him and his team of further access to the cave where he intended to finalize the research. To cover-up the story, a sign has been placed outside the cave stating that the skull discovered inside is 300,000 years old, and Wikipedia today has dated the skull even younger.

 

The reason why the government of Greece is harshly suppressing the finds of Dr. Paulianos may be obvious for some of you, but to highlight the main idea – if the research conducted so far is proven to be correct, it means that human beings didn’t just originated from Africa; they were found scattered throughout the entire globe, thus proving the entire theory of evolution served by modern science is all but untrue. It’s the same with the Native Americans, where the accepted theory of evolution asserts they came across the Alaskan land bridge into the Americas, while the aboriginals insist their ancestors where always present in the Americas.

 

Once again, we have further proof that modern history is teaching us some serious lies. It appears that information not fitting into the general accepted paradigm is either being covered-up or dismissed as fables. The skull from Greece proves the scientific path that’s now being followed is rotten and controlled. REAL science should follow the tracks and change the until-now-accepted beliefs where it is the case.

 

Professor C.G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor of the University of Cambridge sent a letter to the Ministry of Culture in Greece stating that the correct date of the skull is 700,000 years old instead of 300,000. See the letter below.

5 September 2012

Dear Sir,

I am writing on behalf of the European Anthropological Association, which is the umbrella professional and academic association linking all of the national European biological anthropology and human biology societies, to express our concerns about the conservation of the Petralona Cave and Skull, the misinformation of the dating of the skull, as well as the treatment of personnel associated with the conservation of the Cave.

The bases of our concerns are that the skull has been damaged through many scratches and the crown of a tooth (1st molar) cut off. As requested by Anthropological Association of Greece what is required is a detailed description of the present status of the skull, so that no one in future can arbitrarily damage it further. There is also the problem of dating which has been scientifically dated at about 700,000 years ago not 300,000 as is given at the information desk. There is a very detailed record of the excavations and findings which need to receive further public presentation but which have never been catalogued so as to prevent specimens going missing.

It is very unfortunate that the Greek Archaeological Department stopped Dr Aris Poulianos from further work in the Cave without any explanation. It is also very worrying that Dr Poulianos and his wife were physically attacked and injured in their home earlier this year and the culprits have not been found. He was also verbally abused when attempting to give an invited presentation to teachers and school children.

Senior anthropologists and geologists have also been denied access to the Cave and the specimens for further study on a number of occasions without substantive reasons. Earlier this year there has also been misinformation given to the Greek Parliament concerning financial aspects of the Cave.

I look forward to receiving answers to these questions.

Yours faithfully

Professor C G N Mascie-Taylor MA, PhD, ScD (all Cambridge), FSB, FNAS (Hungary)

Professor of Human Population Biology and Health and President of the European Anthropological Association
