The Large Hadron Collider is starting back up. Here's what scientists hope to find.

The Large Hadron Collider is starting back up. Here's what scientists hope to find.

Updated by Joseph Stromberg

This weekend, the Large Hadron Collider — the particle accelerator used to discover the Higgs boson in 2012 — is being fired back up after a two-year break.

The gigantic collider (which includes a 17-mile-long underground tunnel that runs between France and Switzerland) was shut down in February 2013 so engineers could make upgrades. Now, physicists are starting it back up for a new series of experiments intended to push the laws of physics to their limits.

1) Wait, what is the Large Hadron Collider again?

The LHC, which was completed in 2008 by CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) at a cost of around $9 billion, is the world's largest particle accelerator: an extremely long underground tunnel that allows physicists to conduct some pretty intense experiments.

In essence, these experiment involve shooting beams of particles around the ring, using enormous magnets to speed them up to 99.9999 percent of the speed of light (causing them to whip around the ring about 11,000 times per second), then crashing them together. Sophisticated sensors capture all sorts of data on the particles that result from these collisions.

2) Why do scientists want to crash particles together?

The huge amount of energy present in these collisions leads the particles to break apart and recombine in some pretty exotic ways. And these conditions can reveal flaws in thestandard model of physics — currently our best formula for predicting the behavior of all matter.

Physicists want to do this because, as accurate as the standard model seems to be, it's still incomplete. "It's extremely efficient at making predictions, but we physicists don't really like it," Patrick Koppenburg, a researcher at the LHC, told me for an article last year.

The biggest problem is that the model doesn't account for the force of gravity (it only describes the other three fundamental forces) or exotic substances such as dark matter and dark energy. It also doesn't mesh well with our theories about the birth of the universe.

In other words, the standard model is the best description we currently have of how all objects behave, but as Koppenburg says, "it must be wrong somewhere." Forcing particles to behave in unusual ways, as he and others do at the LHC, could help reveal exactly where the model is wrong.

3) What have these scientists discovered at the LHC so far?

The LHC's biggest finding so far was the July 2012 discovery of an elementary particle called the Higgs boson.

Since the 1960s, the Higgs boson was thought to exist as a part of the Higgs field: an invisible field that permeates all space and exerts a drag on every particle. This field, physicists theorized, is why we perceive particles to have mass (or, in other words, a resistance to being moved). As physicist Brian Greene put it in an article inSmithsonian:

Think of a ping-pong ball submerged in water. When you push on the ping-pong ball, it will feel much more massive than it does outside of water. Its interaction with the watery environment has the effect of endowing it with mass. So with particles submerged in the Higgs field.

On paper, the Higgs field and boson both made a lot of sense — all the equations of the standard model pointed toward their existence. But we had no direct physical evidence of them. "In building the LHC, what we really hoped to do was either find the Higgs, or be able to exclude its existence," Koppenburg said.

In 2012, after three years of experiments at the LHC, physicists confirmed the Higgs boson does indeed exist. It had been calculated that after being formed during a collision, the Higgs boson would immediately decay into other particles in a specific ratio. Data collected after protons were crashed together showed evidence of these particles in the ratio predicted.

This is so important because the Higgs field is a keystone of the standard model: it allows the rest of its equations to make a whole lot more sense. And finding it 50 years after it was predicted on paper shows we're on the right track so far in trying to understand the universe.

4) Why is the LHC starting back up?

All the experiments conducted at the LHC so far are part of "run one." This week, after several years of upgrading the LHC's magnets (which speed up and control the flow of particles) and data sensors, it'll begin "run two": a new series of experiments that will involve crashing particles together with nearly twice as much energy as before.

These more powerful collisions will allow scientists to keep discovering new (and perhaps larger) particles, and also look more closely at the Higgs boson and observe how it behaves under different conditions.

IT'LL BEGIN NEW COLLISIONS WITH NEARLY TWICE AS MUCH ENERGY AS BEFORE

"We're hoping to find things that were not predicted by the standard model," Koppenburg said. "Perhaps particles that are so heavy that they haven't been produced before, or other kinds of deviations." It's possible, for instance, that the Higgs boson is just one of several undiscovered particles that are part of the Higgs family.

The right kinds of data, Koppenburg and other physicists hope, will allow us to find new particles and otherwise improve our model, perhaps allowing it to accurately incorporate dark matter, the birth of the universe, and other obscure topics. Someday, this sort of work could even lead to the creation a new, perfect model that fully describes the behavior of all objects in the universe.

5) Are there plans for any future particle accelerators even bigger than the LHC?

Yes. Physicists hope to eventually build larger accelerators that would produce collisions with even more energy than the LHC, which might allow them to discover new particles and better understand dark matter. The proposed International Linear Collider, for instance, would be more than 20 miles long, with a pair of accelerators facing each other straight on, rather than the familiar ring design of the LHC and other accelerators. It's still pending, but could be built in Japan, with scientists hoping to have it operational by 2026.

Once upon a time, it looked like a truly gigantic accelerator would actually be built in the US. In 1989, Congress agreed to spend $6 billion to build the Superconducting Super Collider: a 54-mile-long underground ring in Waxahachie, Texas, that would have produced collisions with five times as much energy as the LHC's. But in 1993, with the costs rising to a projected $11 billion, Congress killed the project — after $2 billion had already been spent on drilling nearly 15 miles of tunnel.

Some physicists believe we're living in a giant hologram — and it's not that far-fetched

Some physicists believe we're living in a giant hologram — and it's not that far-fetched

Updated by Joseph Stromberg

Some physicists actually believe that the universe we live in might be a hologram.

The idea isn't that the universe is some sort of fake simulation out of The Matrix, but rather that even though we appear to live in a three-dimensional universe, it might only have two dimensions. It's called the holographic principle.

Related
The Large Hadron Collider is starting back up. Here's what scientists hope to find.

The thinking goes like this: Some distant two-dimensional surface contains all the data needed to fully describe our world — and much like in a hologram, this data is projected to appear in three dimensions. Like the characters on a TV screen, we live on a flat surface that happens to look like it has depth.    

THE LAWS OF PHYSICS SEEM TO MAKE MORE SENSE WHEN WRITTEN IN TWO DIMENSIONS THAN IN THREE

It might sound absurd. But if when physicists assume it's true in their calculations, all sorts of big physics problems — such as the nature of black holes and the reconciling of gravity and quantum mechanics — become much simpler to solve. In short, the laws of physics seem to make more sense when written in two dimensions than in three.

"It's not considered some wild speculation among most theoretical physicists," says Leonard Susskind, the Stanford physicist who first formally defined the idea decades ago. "It's become a working, everyday tool to solve problems in physics."

But there's an important distinction to be made here. There's no direct evidence that our universe actually is a two-dimensional hologram. These calculations aren't the same as a mathematical proof. Rather, they're intriguing suggestions that our universe could be a hologram. And as of yet, not all physicists believe we have a good way of testing the idea experimentally.

Where did the idea that the universe might be a hologram come from?

The idea originally came out of a pair of paradoxes concerning black holes.

1) The black hole information loss problem

In 1974, Stephen Hawking famously discovered that black holes, contrary to what had long been thought, actually emit slight amounts of radiation over time. Eventually, as this energy bleeds away from the event horizon — the black hole's outer edge — the black hole should completely disappear.

However, this idea prompted what's known as the black hole information loss problem. It's long been thought that physical information can't be destroyed: All particles either retain their original form or, if they change, that change impacts other particles, so the first set of particles' original state could be inferred at the end.

As an analogy, think of a stack of documents that are fed through a shredder. Even though they're cut into tiny pieces, the information present on the pieces of paper still exists. It's been cut into tiny pieces, but it hasn't disappeared, and given enough time, the documents could be reassembled so that you'd know what was written on them originally. In essence, the same thing was thought to be true with particles.

But there was a problem: If a black hole disappears, then the information present in any object that may have been sucked into it seemingly disappears, too.

Related
Stephen Hawking's research is more accessible than you think. Here's a guide.

One solution, proposed by Susskind and Dutch physicist Gerard 't Hooft in the mid-'90s, was that when an object gets pulled into a black hole, it leaves behind some sort of 2D imprint encoded on the event horizon. Later, when radiation leaves the black hole, it picks up the imprint of this data. In this way, the information isn't really destroyed.

And their calculations showed that on just the 2D surface of a black hole, you could store enough information to completely describe any seemingly 3D objects inside it.

"The analogy that both of us independently were thinking about was that of a hologram — a two-dimensional piece of film which can encode all the information in a three-dimensional region of space," Susskind says.

The entropy problem: There was also the related problem of calculating the amount of entropy in a black hole — that is, the amount of disorder and randomness among its particles. In the '70s, Jacob Bekenstein had calculated that their entropy is capped, and that the cap is proportional to the 2D area of a black hole's event horizon.

"For ordinary matter systems, the entropy is proportional to the volume, not the area," says Juan Maldacena, an Argentinian physicist involved in studying the holographic principle. Eventually, he and others saw that this, too, pointed to the idea that what looked like a 3D object — a black hole — might be best understood using only two dimensions.

How did this idea go from black holes to the entire universe?

None of this was proof that black holes were holograms. But early on, Susskind says, physicists recognized that looking at the entire universe as a two-dimensional object that only looks three-dimensional might help solve some deeper problems in theoretical physics. And the math works just as well whether you're talking about a black hole, a planet, or an entire universe.

In 1998, Maldacena demonstrated that a hypothetical universe could be a hologram. His particular hypothetical universe was in what's called anti-de Sitter space (which, to simplify things, has a curved shape over huge distances, as opposed to our universe, which is believed to be flat):

anti de sitter space

What's more, by viewing this universe in two dimensions, he found a way to make the increasingly popular idea of string theory — a broad framework in which the basic building blocks of the universe are one-dimensional strings, rather than particles — jibe neatly with the well-established laws of particle physics.

And even more importantly, by doing so, he united two hugely important, disparate concepts in physics under one theoretical framework. "The holographic principle connected the theory of gravity to theories of particle physics," Maldacena says.

Combining these two fundamental ideas into a single coherent theory (often calledquantum gravity) remains one of the holy grails of physics. So the holographic principle making it possible in this hypothetical universe was a big deal.

Of course, all of this is still quite different from saying that our actual universe — not this weird hypothetical one — is a hologram.

But could our universe actually be a hologram — or does the idea only apply to hypothetical ones?

That's still a matter of active debate. But there's been some recent theoretical work that suggests the holographic principle might work for our universe too — including a high-profile paper by Austrian and Indian physicists that came out this past May.

Like Maldacena, they also sought to use the principle to find a similarity between the disparate fields of quantum physics and gravitational theory. In our universe, these two theories typically don't align: They predict different results regarding the behavior of any given particle.

But in the new paper, the physicists calculated how these theories would predict the degree of entanglement — the bizarre quantum phenomenon in which the states of two tiny particles can become correlated so that a change to one particle can affect the other, even if they're far away. They found that by viewing one particular model of a flat universe as a hologram, they could indeed get the results of both theories to match up.

Still, even though this was a bit closer to our universe than the one Maldacena had worked with, it was just one particular type of flat space, and their calculations didn't take time into account — just the other three spatial dimensions. What's more, even if this did apply directly to our universe, it'd only show that it's possible it could be a hologram. It wouldn't be hard evidence.

How could we prove that the universe is a hologram?

holometer

The best type of proof would start with some testable prediction made by holographic theory. Experimental physicists could then gather evidence to see if it matches the prediction. For instance, the theory of the Big Bang predicted that we might find some form of remnant energy emanating throughout the universe as a result of the violent expansion 13.8 billion years ago — and in the 1960s, astronomers found exactly that, in the form of the cosmic microwave background.

At the moment, there's no universally agreed-upon test that would provide firm evidence for the idea. Still, some physicists believe that the holographic principle predicts there's a limit to how much information spacetime can contain, because our seemingly 3D spacetime is encoded by limited amounts of 2D information. As Fermilab's Craig Hoganrecently put it to Motherboard, "The basic effect is that reality has a limited amount of information, like a Netflix movie when Comcast is not giving you enough bandwidth. So things are a little blurry and jittery."

Hogan and others are using an instrument called a Holomoter to look for this sort of blurriness. It relies on powerful lasers to see whether — at super-small, submicroscopic levels — there's a fundamental limit in the amount of information present in spacetime itself. If there is, they say, it could be evidence that we're living in a hologram.

Still, other physicists, including Susskind, reject the premise of this experiment and say it can't provide any evidence for the holographic principle.

Let's say we prove the universe is a hologram. What would that mean for my everyday life?

In one strict sense, it'd mean little. The same laws of physics you've been living with for your entire life would seem to remain exactly the same. Your house, dog, car, and body would keep appearing as three-dimensional objects, just like they always have.

But in a deeper sense, this discovery would revolutionize our existence on a profound level.

It doesn't matter much for your day-to-day life that the universe was formed 13.8 billion years in a sudden, violent expansion from a single point of matter. But the discovery of the Big Bang is instrumental for our current understanding of the history of the universe and our place within the cosmos.

Likewise, the bizarre principles of quantum mechanics — like entanglement, in which two distant particles somehow affect each other — don't really change your daily life either. You can't see atoms and don't notice them doing this. But these principles are another basic truth that tells us something utterly unexpected about the fundamental nature of the universe.

Proving the holographic principle would be much the same. Living our normal lives, we probably won't think much about the peculiar, counterintuitive fact that we live in a hologram. But the discovery would serve as an important step toward fully understanding the laws of physics — which dictate every action you've ever taken.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS DISCOVER 10,000 YEAR OLD CAVE PAINTINGS DEPICTING UFOS AND ALIEN BEINGS 3.0K

ARCHAEOLOGISTS DISCOVER 10,000 YEAR OLD CAVE PAINTINGS DEPICTING UFOS AND ALIEN BEINGS 

UFO Paintings Beings Humans

Using the latest dating technology, researchers were able to determine the age of a bizarre discovery from India. Paintings of several peculiar beings along with a disc-shaped object were found in a cave system in India.

The paintings appear to have been made no more than 10,000 years ago by the local dwellers who possibly met or witnessed these otherworldly beings. The Department of Archaeology of the Indian state of Chhattisgarh asked the US and Indian aerospace agencies for assistance in order to find out more about the curious designs found in the tribal Bastar area.

Western analysts were intrigued after investigating the paintings because of the many features they had in common with the present UFO phenomenon. According to them, the paintings were made by the aboriginals who appear to have had a clear knowledge of these fantastic beings, as if they were watching some kind of science fiction movie.

Our ancient world continues to become more mysterious by the day, as 10,000 year old rock paintings depicting possible extraterrestrials and UFOs have been found in Chhattisgarh, India. These can be added to the long list of mysterious and unexplained10,000 Year Old Rock Paintings Depicting Extraterrestrials & UFOs Discovered In India

Leonardo is somebody who is able to operate across all these various fields, which is very unusual.He was trained as a painter, a sculptor, butCreepy Depictions of Extraterrestrial Beings discovered in Leonardo da Vinci's Paintings?! 

Is it possible that 10,000 years ago, humans of this area witnessed or even met with these fantastic beings who they later drawn on the cave wall as a reminder of their greatness? Considering that paintings such as these are found across several other different cultures, the hypothesis of ancient aliens who visited Earth thousands of years ago doesn’t seem too far-off from reality.

According to archaeologist JR Bhagat who is investigating into this matter, there are a few things that tend to add to the overall mystery, such as the remaining villagers who appear to worship the peculiar drawings even now. He believes that people of old witnessed the arrival of otherworldly beings in their spaceships, but until a detailed investigation, the above remains only a speculation.

  There are several beliefs among locals in these villages. While few worship the paintings, others narrate stories they have heard from ancestors about “rohela people”, or “the small-sized ones” who used to land from the sky in a round shaped flying object and take away one or two persons in the village who never returned.

india-cave-ufo2.jpg

   The paintings are done in natural colours that have hardly faded despite the years. The strangely carved figures are seen holding weapon-like objects and do not have clear features. Especially the nose and mouth are missing. In few pictures, they are even shown wearing space suits. We can’t refute possibility of imagination by prehistoric men, but humans usually fancy such things.

If we are to consider the “caveman” possibility, how come the faces of the beings are so different than those of humans? And how come these beings are depicted wearing strange helms and holding peculiar sword-like objects in a time considered by the modern science as primitive and rudimental?

India-cave-ufo1.jpg

Apart from this, many peculiar artefacts were discovered in India, a country veiled in mystery, with a complex past involving subterranean temples, strange deities, strong cultural and spiritual background, and of course the Vimanas – the ancient flying machines.

So could this be the work of a caveman, or is it rather the work of humans who were surprised by otherworldly visitors ( via ewao.com )?

The biggest Conspiracy Theory of all times-Stargate-Gulf of Aden

The biggest Conspiracy Theory of all times-Stargate-Gulf of Aden

The biggest Conspiracy Theory of all times-Stargate-Gulf of Aden

 
If you have been an avid follower of the growing trend of conspiracy theories lately then be warned this one will blow your mind!
 
An exclusive video interview with Aaron McCollum has just been released from the makers of Project Camelot Portal and it is by far a gigantic leap for anyone's imagination, the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories has just got deeper!
 
If you haven’t been upto date with the latest conspiracy theories of late but have been following the news you may have heard of much to do with the Gulf of Aden. 
 
 
https://youtu.be/4RuiAzxPKFs
 
Over the last many months it has been reported that a large congregation of a multinational group of Battle Ships that have been patrolling the waters of the Gulf of Aden, near the border of Yemen.
 
 
It has been reported across mainstream media that all countries involved are protecting their interests from the growing Somali Pirates threat. But conspiracy theorists have been reporting this story as a Red Flag Operation to cover the real purpose of their unprecedented Navel activity in the waters of Aden.
 
It has been said and also in-depth in this video interview with Aaron McCollum from Project Camelot that a strange magnetic anomaly has been found in the Gulf of Aden. This strange magnetic anomaly is creating what conspiracy theorists believe to be a portal, a kind of Intergalactic Stargate, that only now is slowly being activated and the Governments and the Elites can’t stop it.
 
There are many strange theories surrounding the 2012 phenomena but now they are escalated to Universal proportions, what’s causing this Stargate to become activated is, well anybody’s guess, but there are many synchronised theories being reported all over the Internet that well is too greater for a mention here.
 
In Aaron McCollum’s interview he bravely or insanely admits to have been working for Top Secret or Black Projects run by the world’s Elites/Governments. He boldly opens a mega tsunami of Intel and reports to have been working in secret underground facility’s that are also under the sea.
 
He also mentions in great detail that one of these facilities is on the west side of Puerto Rico and is known as Project Seagate. He also tells of ongoing genetic experiments, the cohesion and calibration of extraterrestrials working in these facilities, the existence of the TR-3bs triangular shaped UFOs as a black government aircraft, interdimensional travel and the list goes on and on, deeper and deeper!

Les scientifiques font une incroyable découverte sous les statues de l’Île de Pâques !

Les scientifiques font une incroyable découverte sous les statues de l’Île de Pâques !

statues-ile-de-paques-decouverte

Le grand mystère des têtes des statues de l'île de Pâques ne cesse de croître… littéralement ! Les archéologues ont creusé autour des têtes et devinez ce qu'ils ont découvert ? Les têtes ont des corps complets ! Les corps sont couverts et recèlent de pétroglyphes indéchiffrables.

Les fouilles archéologiques sur l’Ile de Pâques ont commencé au début des années 1900 et se poursuivent toujours. Il y a quelques temps, les scientifiques ont même découvert que les fameuses statues avaient un corps !

On dénombre exactement 884 statues jusqu’à maintenant dont 150 ont été enfouies avec le temps. Lors d’une expédition qu’il avait organisé en 1936, l’anthropologue suisse Alfred Métraux avait déjà émis l’hypothèse que les ″Moaï″ avaient un corps mais ce n’est qu’en 2010 qu’une équipe d’archéologues a entrepris de déterrer les statues afin de vérifier l’hypothèse qui s’est avérée vraie.

Voici quelques photos prises lors des travaux effectués autour des statues. Vous allez voir à quel point elles deviennent encore plus fascinantes et spectaculaires.

Les statues de l'Ile de Paques ont un corps!

″La raison pourquoi les gens pensent que ce ne sont que des têtes est qu'il y a en a 150 enterrées jusqu'aux épaules tout autour d'un volcan. Ce sont ces magnifiques statues de l'île de Pâques que nous avons vu en photo″ a déclaré Van Tilburg, qui est aussi un membre du Cotsen Institute of Archeology de l'Université de Californie, à Los Angeles. ″Cela veut dire que pour les gens qui ont uniquement vu ces photos, ne savent pas qu'elles ont des corps, et pensent que ce ne sont que des têtes.″

Regardez la vidéo ci-dessous pour apprécier les œuvres mégalithes de nos aïeux :

Note : Encore une fois tout ce que nous pensons à propos de certaines recherches archéologiques s’avère être faux. Les fameuses têtes de l’Île de Pâques sont en fait bien plus que des têtes…

Évidemment le monde archéologique connait cette découverte depuis quelques années mais la population en général reste malheureusement insensible à de telles informations !

Les têtes de l’Île de Pâques sont censées représenter les monuments des anciens dirigeants de la tribu, et d’autres personnalités qui étaient importantes pour les habitants de l’île. L’une des îles les plus isolées de la Terre qui se situe à 3’550 kilomètres à l’ouest du continent sud-américain.

L’analyse ADN des crânes de Paracas prouve qu’ils ne sont pas humains

L’analyse ADN des crânes de Paracas prouve qu’ils ne sont pas humains

paracas-civilisation-extra-terrestre
Sur la côte sud du Pérou se trouve la péninsule du désert de Paracas. Ce paysage aride est le lieu où l'archéologue péruvien Julio Tello a fait une découverte étonnante en 1928.
 
Dans ces tombes, Tello a découvert les restes humains ( ?) les plus controversés de l'histoire. Les corps avaient les plus grands crânes allongés du monde et ont été appelés les ″crânes Paracas″
Tello a trouvé au total plus de 300 crânes et qui ont été estimés avoir plus de 3000 ans. Une analyse récente de l'ADN de certains de ces crânes a présenté des résultats étonnants qui pourraient remettre en cause la perspective actuelle de l'arbre de l'évolution humaine.

Plusieurs autres cultures ont pratiqué l'élongation ou déformation crânienne, mais les techniques qu'ils utilisaient produisaient des résultats différents. Certaines tribus d'Amérique du Sud liaient les crânes des nourrissons avec des lianes et des bouts de bois afin de changer leur forme. Cette technique permettait d'appliquer une pression constante sur le crâne sur une longue période temporelle. Ce type de déformation crânienne changeait la forme mais ne modifiait pas la taille, le poids ou le volume du crâne ; ce sont toutes les caractéristiques d'un crâne humain standard.
 
Les crânes Paracas sont différents. Leurs crânes sont 25 % plus grands et 60 % plus volumineuxque des crânes humains réguliers, ce qui a conduit les chercheurs à croire qu'ils n'ont pas pu être modifiés par la technique précédemment mentionnée. Ils sont également structurellement différents et ont seulement une plaque pariétale, par opposition aux crânes humains qui en possèdent deux. Ces différences ont approfondi le mystère vieux de dix ans concernant les crânes Paracas et les chercheurs n'ont pas été en mesure d'expliquer leurs origines.
 
Le directeur du Musée d'histoire de Paracas a envoyé des échantillons de cinq crânes afin qu'ils subissent un test génétique. Les échantillons consistaient de cheveux, de peau, de dents et de fragments d'os du crâne. Le laboratoire n'a pas été informé de l'origine des échantillons afin d'éviter des résultats biaisés ou influencés. Les résultats sont fascinants.
 
L'ADN mitochondrial (hérité de la mère) a présenté des mutations inconnues chez n'importe quel humain, primat ou tout autre animal. Les mutations ont suggéré nous avons affaire à un tout nouvel être humain, ou un cousin très éloigné de l'Homo sapiens, du Néandertalien ou autre. Les individus de Paracas étaient très biologiquement différents des humains, ils n'auraient pas été capables de s'accoupler. ″Je ne suis pas sûr que ce sera même inscrit dans l'arbre connu de l'évolution″, a ajouté une généticienne.
 
Les implications de cette découverte sont énormes. Qui étaient les mystérieux individus de Paracas ? Ont-ils évolué ici sur Terre et ont emprunté un chemin radicalement différent du nôtre qu'ils ne nous ressemblaient plus ? Si non, d'où viennent-ils ?
 
Cette avancée pose encore plus de questions qu'elle ne peut en résoudre, mais c'est une nouvelle preuve suggérant que nous n'étions pas seuls et ne le sommes toujours pas.

This UFO was caught in Australia with an Canon camcorder that was converted to full spectrum...meaning infrared. This is necessary if you live in a sunny place and really want to catch a cloud orb or UFO. The suns light (some infrared) bounces off the cloak, revealing the UFO. There is no cloak that can hide from this camera. I'm currently saving up for a new one, because they are very awesome tools.

This UFO moves close to the jet as it approaches, but then keeps its distance, as if it changed its mind. The shape is that of a half circle and very dark. UFOs, some of which are alien drones, often monitor the air technology, since its the easiest to reach with few eyewitnesses. What I mean is, if you film 100 jets coming and going from an airport, you will film at least 1-5 UFO drones buzz past it.

Eyewitness states:
The object,which didnt seen to have any solid shape seemed to fly towards an airliner as it was landing about a mile or two from heathrow airport..it then seemed to change direction and fly away from the airport direction.There was no noise an it didnt seen to be going too fast..I thought it was strange that it was flying very close to the heathrow inbound flight path.

Ship Near The International Space Station: Is this A Mysterious Object Floating Above?

Ship Near The International Space Station: Is this A Mysterious Object Floating Above?

ISS_UFO

What are the unidentified flying objects, and what are the reasons for their existence? Are they extraterrestrial vessels visiting the Earth from another galaxy, or they are still a species from our very own solar system? It is hard to say because most people who see unidentified flying objects are reluctant to report it, either because it needs a logical explanation, or they merely think that people would ever believe if they were to share. The footage shows a piece of debris emerged in Russia following the station. It was captured by the ISS’s cameras and had been captured while waiting for delivery. Humans can only describe them and explain their technology regarding their limited knowledge. The reality of the phenomenon might be far beyond anything imaginable. The viewers pointed out that the recorded video from ISS is of better quality than what is seen on the short recording.

Since motion and rotation of the object do not have a similar appearance of an orbit, then it could be Russian spacecraft that is used to carry cosmonauts. The video went viral online, but astronauts did not comment anything. While the footage looks impressive, it cannot escape the viewers’ different contention that would make it as a debated topic. Built by Orbital ATK, the capsule was pushed due to the emptiness of space through an enormous robotic wing on the space station. Once the spacecraft reached from the space station, the engines were due to fire, sending course for a fiery finale in the Earth’s atmosphere. During re-entry, it is expected that the spaceship will burn up in the air. Scientists have long theorized about the possible existence of multiple universes, all of them together making up a set of all possible outcomes of all possible events. While extraterrestrial beings are hard to explain, its existence sometimes depends on one’s belief.

REVERSE ENGINEERING OF ALIEN CRAFT EXPOSED
 
I spoke with Don Phillips who worked at Lockheed at the Disclosure Project he told us, These UFOs were huge and they would just come to a stop and do a 60 degree, 45 degree, 10 degree turn, and then immediately reverse this action”. When I was working with the Skunkworks with Kelly Johnson, we signed an agreement with the government to keep very quiet about this. Anti-gravitational research we were doing. We know that there were some captured craft from 1947 at Roswell, they were real.
And, yes, we really did get some technology from them. And, yes, we really did put it to work….We knew each other from what we call the unseen industry. We can term it black, deep black, or hidden.  The knowledge I have of these technologies came from the craft that were captured here on Earth. I did not see the craft, nor did I see the bodies, but I certainly know some of the people that did. There was no question that there are beings from outside the planet. Are these ET people hostile? Well, if they were hostile, with their weaponry they could have destroyed us a long time ago….
We got these things that are handheld scanners that scan the body and determine what the condition is. We can also treat from the same scanner. I can tell you personally that we’ve been working on them. In addition, we have ones that can diagnose and cure cancer. One of the purposes I had for founding my technology corporation in 1998, was to bring forth these technologies that that can clean the air and can help get rid of the toxins, and help get rid of the need for so much fossil fuel. Yes, it is time. I can tell you personally that it has already started. 
During the Apollo landing, Neil Armstrong says, “They’re here. They are right over there and look at the size of those ships. And, it is obvious they don’t like us being here”.…

Mystery Spheres Baffle NASA Scientists

Mystery Spheres Baffle NASA Scientists

(Before It's News)

Grooved Mystery Spheroid

The riddle of the rotating spheres, that rotate completely, twice a year, on their own axis – baffle NASA scientists”

Man and rock. Stones, which are billions of years old and rotate on their axes, while in a vibration free environment, captured the attention of Mr. John Hund of Pietersburg fifteen years ago. Review previously published reports about Hund’s journey to the Gestoptesfontein mine near Ottosdal in the Northern Province where he found a stone just like the one he read about and saw in the Klerksdorp museum.

While playing with the stone on a very flat surface at a restaurant one day, Hund realized it was very well balanced. He took it to the California Space Institute at the University of California to have tests done to determine just how well balanced it was. “It turned out that the balance is so fine, it exceeded the limit of their measuring technology and these are the guys who make gyro-compasses for NASA.

The stone is balanced to within one-hundred thousandths of an inch from absolute perfection,” explains Hund. Nobody knows what these stones are. One NASA scientist told Hund that they do not have the technology to create anything as finely balanced as this. He said the only way that either nature or human technology could create something so finely balanced would be in zero gravity.

Here is an extract of Mr. Hund’s letter:

The existance of the sphere came to my attention ca 1977 while removing endangered rock engravings from the site where pyrophyllite or “wonderstone”, as it is commonly known in the region, is mined on the farm Gestoptefontein (meaning plugged fountain) near the little village of Ottosdal about 110 km from Klerksdorp in South Africa’s Northwest Province.

I was intrigued by the form of the spheres, grooves around the middle and the fact that they are as hard as steel, while the material (pyrophyllite) in which they are found, is as soft as limestone with a count of only 3 on the Moh scale.

 As you probably know, pyrophyllite (Al2 Si4 O10 (OH)2) is a secondary mineral and the deposits were formed by  a process of sedimentation.  On Gestoptefontein volcanic activity was responsible for the forming of outcrops varying in height from about 10 to 100 meters. The smooth and relatively soft surface on the slopes were ideal for the prehistoric dwellers (San) to make their engravings of animal and abstract designs.

On Gestoptefontein these outcrops were “swan” into huge pieces by means of twisted steel cables running zig-zag on pulleys for several kilometers. These blocks were then sawn by the same method into more manageable pieces of about 500 x 500 mm. Occasionally the “sawing cable” got stuck on one of the metal spheres embedded in the pyrophyllite.

They vary in size from ” 30 – 50 mm in diameter and have perfectly concentric grooves round the center as if they were molded. Inside the hard “shell” some have a spongy substance, while in others it resembles charcoal.

When only partly embedded so that they can be seen on the surface, they are not all spheres, but some are also oblong in form.

 According to Professor Andries Bisschoff of the University of Potchefstroom (retired some years ago) they are limonite concretions. Due to the relative scarcity of the spheres and the almost impossibility for outsiders to obtain samples from the mine, his conclusions have not been verified by other scientists.

It is very strange that the grooves are always and only round the center. Mr. Credo Mutwa, a notorious witch doctor from the city of Soweto was brought to the museum by a TV – team some years ago and he as well as some amateur archaeologists believed the spheres to be from outer space. It is also hard for me to believe their theory. The original sphere exhibited in this museum was stolen by a white sangoma (witch – doctor)  – not Mr. Mutwa, for its supposedly magic qualities and was never retrieved.

Inquiries were made from all over the world about this phenomenon. Countries include Canada, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, England, USA, Norway, France and Botswana. Institutions  such as the University of South Florida, Miles Price and Associates, the Society for Physic Advancement (S.A), Kokkolan Kaupunchi (Finland), Esotera (Germany) Geologisches Institut der Universiteit Pleicherwall (Germany), the Department of Philosophy UICC (Chicago), Danfoss (Denmark), Illustreret Videnskab  (Coppenhagen), Louisiana Geological Survey, Gale Research Company (Michigan) and Search and Research Institute of Florida also made inquiries.

NASA was written, to confirm or deny this in 2000, and a reply was never received. Mr. Hund’s letter was removed from the Klerksdorp Museum page, afterwards, when I checked back some time later, and the page re-designed.

And in Sept. 2012, an interesting coincidence found on MARS, by NASA.

NASA’s Mars rover Opportunity, still active after all these years, has just discovered a dense accumulation of puzzling little spheroids in a rock outcrop on the Red Planet.
FULL STORY: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/14sep_mysteryspheres/

3 Billion year old sphere

3-Billion Year Old Manufactured Spheroids?

At least 200 have been found, and extracted out of deep rock at the Wonderstone Silver Mine in South Africa, averaging 1-4 inches in dia. and composed of a nickel-steel alloy that doesn’t occur naturally.

Wonderstong Silver Mine Spheres

Some have a thin shell about a quarter inch thick, when broken open are filled with a strange spongy material that disintegrates into dust upon contact with air.

A complete mystery according to Roelf Marx curator of the South African Klerksdorp Museum, as the one he has on exhibit rotates on its own, locked in a display case, free of outside vibrations.

Close Encounter With An Alien Craft Over Texas

Close Encounter With An Alien Craft Over Texas


(Before It's News)

ARTICLE CROSS KEN PFEIFER 3-26-16
CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH AN ALIEN CRAFT OVER TEXAS
 
MARCH 17, 2016   …………..  CHILDRESS TEXAS
 
I was driving with my children along route 256 between Memphis and Childress Texas, on my way to Oklahoma. During what appeared to be a very quiet and unlit stretch of hilly road, a very bright metallic cross-like orb suddenly appeared next to the highway. It was very shiny like modern blue metallic plane but inverted as if the cockpit was pointing upward (shape of a cross). It seemed to shake back and forth very quickly as it hovered in place with bright belt of white lights shining around the entire diameter of the strange object. I was talking through my blue tooth device and using GPS in the car when both suddenly stopped working. The radio, GPS and cell phone all turned off as if there was no power in the car. In my uncomfortable panic, I said a quick prayer and accelerated the car to create more distance from the object.
The object appeared slightly larger than semi-truck trailer in width and maybe 10-15 feet in height. As we passed I saw that its erratic shaking gave the impression of a saucer-like shape at first. But it was definitely a cross like object with a wingspan. My daughter watched as we passed and saw the white lights change to a blue-ish color and said that it hovered and then moved to the other side of the road behind us and appeared to land. The uncomfortable feeling of seeing something so unusual first hand caused enough concern to not want to stop or get closer. We reached our destination about and hour and a half later. As I provided details to my husband, he suggested that my daughter and I each go into separate rooms and draw a picture of what we thought we saw, without the other’s knowledge. The pictures were almost identical. I’ve never given UFOs much thought before but have also never seen anything so unusual with such clarity up close. But I know what I saw was a metallic object with lights, hovering in the night sky along Route 256 near childress, Texas. I saw it up close and I can understand now that we shouldn’t be quick to judge other people’s bizarre stories…some things are difficult to explain but you know when you see it.

'Manen van Saturnus mogelijk jonger dan de dinosaurussen.

'Manen van Saturnus mogelijk jonger dan de dinosaurussen.

  • Caroline Kraaijvanger
pia18357-1041.jpg?fit=1024%2C629

Nieuw onderzoek suggereert dat een aantal manen zo’n 100 miljoen jaar geleden, dus lang nadat de eerste dinosaurussen evolueerden, ontstonden.

Onderzoekers trekken die conclusie op basis van computermodellen. Onze eigen maan draait in zijn eentje om de aarde heen. Maar rond Saturnus draaien meerdere manen. De banen van deze manen worden door getijdenkrachten geleidelijk aan groter, maar de snelheid waarmee de banen van de manen groter worden, verschilt van maan tot maan. Dat resulteert in paren manen met een resonante baan (zie kader). Als er eenmaal sprake is van baanresonantie kunnen zelfs kleine manen met weinig zwaartekracht een grote invloed hebben op elkaars banen; die banen worden langgerekter en de manen worden uit hun oorspronkelijke baanvlak getild.

We spreken van baanresonantie als twee manen bij één planeet omlooptijden hebben die zich heel netjes tot elkaar verhouden en in hele getallen uit te drukken zijn. Bijvoorbeeld: 2:3.

Computermodellen
Met behulp van computermodellen simuleerden de onderzoekers hoe de banen van deze manen eruit zouden zien als ze net zo oud zouden zijn als Saturnus zelf (dus zo’n vier miljard jaar). Vervolgens vergeleken ze die simulaties met de werkelijkheid. In werkelijkheid bleken de banen van de manen Tethys, Dione en Rhea veel minder sterk veranderd te zijn dan de simulaties aangaven. Het wijst erop dat ze veel minder baanresonanties hebben doorgemaakt en niet ver van hun huidige locatie zijn ontstaan.

Enceladus
Het suggereert dat de manen jonger zijn dan Saturnus zelf. Maar hoeveel jonger? Daartoe keken de onderzoekers naar Enceladus. Deze maan van Saturnus is actief en kent geisers. Die geisers worden waarschijnlijk veroorzaakt door dezelfde getijdenkrachten die van invloed zijn op de baan van de andere manen van Saturnus. Door naar de geisers te kijken, konden de onderzoekers meer zeggen over de kracht van deze getijden. Zodra ze de kracht van de getijden hadden achterhaald, gebruikten ze deze in hun computermodellen om te achterhalen hoeveel tijd het met deze getijdenkrachten zou kosten om Enceladus op zijn huidige locatie te krijgen. En wat blijkt? Daar is maar 100 miljoen jaar voor nodig.

Het onderzoek suggereert dat Rhea en alle manen en ringen die dichter bij Saturnus staan slechts 100 miljoen jaar oud zijn. De manen die verder dan Rhea van Saturnus verwijderd zijn – waaronder Titan – zijn waarschijnlijk net zo oud als Saturnus zelf. Afbeelding: NASA / JPL.

Het wijst erop dat de grote manen van Saturnus – met uitzondering van de verder weg gelegen manen Titan en Iapetus – pas in het Krijt, het tijdperk van de dinosaurussen, ontstonden. “Dat roept de vraag op: wat veroorzaakte de recente geboorte van de binnenste manen?” vraagt onderzoeker Matija Cuk zich hardop af. “We denken dat Saturnus eerder een vergelijkbare verzameling manen had, maar dat hun banen verstoord werden.” De manen kwamen met elkaar in botsing en uit het puin zouden de manen die we nu zien, zijn ontstaan.

MASSIVE DOMED STRUCTURE DISCOVERED ON THE MOON

MoonStructure

MASSIVE DOMED STRUCTURE DISCOVERED ON THE MOON

UFO hunters claim they have discovered a massive alien base on the moon ­nine miles wide. And while scientists say its just a crater, barmy space fanatics insist it’s in fact a huge glass dome.  You Tuber Tony Wilke spotted the shape in a photo of the lunar landscape taken during NASA’s Apollo missions. It comes after satellite photos of the Mars revealed unnatural shapes hailed as entrances to an underground base.  “Scientists have mislabeled it as a crater, when obviously it’s a dome.”

According to Tony, who runs the YouTube channel Earth Files Earths History, the dome is approximately 250 million years old. During that time it’s suffered damage, he said, but it still stands because of a supporting beam more than two miles long.  The structure is some nine miles across and at least two miles deep, it’s claimed. Quite why the aliens needed to build a giant extra-terrestrial 02 Arena out of glass is not guessed at.  Scott C Waring, who edits the website UFO Sightings Daily, hit out at scientists for dismissing the find.  “As you can see for yourself this is a dome on Earth’s moon,” he said. “Scientists have mislabeled it as a crater, when obviously it’s a dome.  “This is mislabeled in astronomy as Harden Crater. I don’t blame the scientists. It’s just the way education goes in school.”  Tony said that when the domes were first built aeons ago, the class would have been completely transparent.  “When these domes were constructed and completed they were completely clear,” he said.  “You could take a hundred foot by hundred foot block of glass that they make you could see perfectly clear to the other side without any distortion at all.  “But this is just the result of deterioration after millions and millions of years.”

NASA Scientists & What They Say About The Moon

MoonPyramid

Moon Pyramid

Multiple NASA personnel have made some pretty shocking claims about the Moon. George Leonard, a NASA scientist and photo analyst who obtained various official NASA photographs of the Moon, many of which he published in his book titled Somebody Else Is On The Moon, is just one of these personnel.  Although the photos are small in size and their resolution is not up to today’s standards, they   show details of original prints which were huge. While Leonard published the identifying code numbers of the photos in his works to back up their source, we still can’t say for sure that they were real, and their poor resolution only makes matters worse. Far more compelling than these photos are his statements about what was found on the Moon, along with his verified NASA credentials. Leonard was not the only one with a credible background trying to tell the world the truth regarding the Moon and the photos that were taken from the Apollo missions.  “Ladies and gentlemen, my government, NASA, which many of us in the United States say stands for Never A Straight Answer, proceeded to erase 40 rolls of film of the Apollo Program — the flight to the Moon, the flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking guys here and there. They erased, 40 rolls of film of those events. Now we’re talking about several thousand individual frames that were taken that the so-called authorities determined that you did not have a right to see. Oh, they were ‘disruptive,’ ‘socially unacceptable,’ ‘politically unacceptable.’ I’ve become furious. I’m a retired Command Sergeant Major. I was never famous for having a lot of patience. 

MoonSructures

Moon Strutures

The quote above is from Bob Dean, who was speaking at a conference in Europe. Bob is a retired US Army Command Sargent Major, and he also served at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) of NATO as an intelligence analyst.  When it comes to the UFO phenomenon, we now have public disclosure of thousands of documents along with hundreds of credible witness testimonies.  It’s also important to note here that the Russian government recently called for an international investigation into the U.S. moon landings regarding the disappearance of film footage from the original moon landing in 1969. They are also referring to the (approximately) 400 kilograms of lunar rock that was obtained during multiple missions between 1969 and 1972.   Leonard argued that NASA knew about extraterrestrial activity on the Moon and attempted to hide that information. He’s not the only one to make such an assertion.  “Read the books, read the lore, start to understand what has really been going on, because there is no doubt that we are being visited. . . . The universe that we live in is much more wondrous, exciting, complex and far reaching than we were ever able to know up to this point in time. . . . [Mankind has long wondered if we’re] alone in the universe. [But] only in our period do we really have evidence. No, we’re not alone.”  – Dr. Edgar Mitchell, ScD., NASA astronaut (6th man to walk on the moon)  Here is a clip of NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O’Leary saying the same thing.

Leonard is not the only NASA scientist to say some strange things about the Moon. Recently, a plasma scientist by the name of Dr. John Brandenburg said the same thing. He was the Deputy Manager of the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon’s poles in 1994.

Noontower

Moon Glass Tower

 It was (the Clementine Mission) a photo reconnaissance mission basically to check out ifsomeone was building bases on the moon that we didn’t know about. Were they expanding them?  He then went on to state that:  Of all the pictures I’ve seen from the moon that show possible structures, the most impressive is a picture of a miles wide recto-linear structure. This looked unmistakably artificial, and it shouldn’t be there. As somebody in the space defense community, I look on any such structure on the moon with great concern because it isn’t ours, there’s no way we could have built such a thing. It means someone else is up there.  If you were to tell the average person that you think another civilization, advanced enough to have mastered space travel, had been to the Moon before we got there and is possibly still going there, you would, without a doubt, receive some very peculiar looks in return. On the other hand, if that other person were to decide to hear you out, you would probably get their attention pretty quickly. For some, this type of information can be overwhelming, even terrifying, and that’s okay. Many people are not ready to open their minds up to these possibilities, but the truth of the matter is, it’s something we are going to have to confront eventually. We are clearly heading towards the inevitable reality of extraterrestrial contact — that is, if we smarten up and start taking care of our planet to the best of our ability. Perhaps we can make it long enough to realize this future, or maybe it’s coming sooner than we think.  That being said, there is a good deal of evidence to suggest that extraterrestrial contact is already happening.

Einstein Was Right

Einstein was right again

There is a space-time vortex around Earth, and its shape precisely matches the predictions of Einstein’s theory of gravity. Researchers confirmed these points at a press conference at NASA headquarters where they announced the long-awaited results of Gravity Probe B (GP-B). “The space-time around Earth appears to be distorted just as general relativity predicts,” says Stanford University physicist Francis Everitt, principal investigator of the Gravity Probe B mission. ”This is an epic result,” adds Clifford Will of Washington University in St. Louis. An expert in Einstein’s theories, Will chairs an independent panel of the National Research Council set up by NASA in 1998 to monitor and review the results of Gravity Probe B. “One day,” he predicts, “this will be written up in textbooks as one of the classic experiments in the history of physics.” Time and space, according to Einstein’s theories of relativity, are woven together, forming a four-dimensional fabric called “space-time.” The mass of Earth dimples this fabric, much like a heavy person sitting in the middle of a trampoline. Gravity, says Einstein, is simply the motion of objects following the curvaceous lines of the dimple. If Earth were stationary, that would be the end of the story. But Earth is not stationary.

EinstenSpin

Our planet spins, and the spin should twist the dimple, slightly, pulling it around into a 4-dimensional swirl. This is what GP-B went to space in 2004 to check. The idea behind the experiment is simple: Put a spinning gyroscope into orbit around the Earth, with the spin axis pointed toward some distant star as a fixed reference point. Free from external forces, the gyroscope’s axis should continue pointing at the star–forever. But if space is twisted, the direction of the gyroscope’s axis should drift over time. By noting this change in direction relative to the star, the twists of space-time could be measured.

The results of Gravity Probe B give physicists renewed confidence that the strange predictions of Einstein’s theory are indeed correct, and that these predictions may be applied elsewhere. The type of space-time vortex that exists around Earth is duplicated and magnified elsewhere in the cosmos–around massive neutron stars, black holes, and active galactic nuclei. “If you tried to spin a gyroscope in the severely twisted space-time around a black hole,” says Will, “it wouldn’t just gently precess by a fraction of a degree. It would wobble crazily and possibly even flip over.” For readers who are not experts in relativity: Geodetic precession is the amount of wobble caused by the static mass of the Earth (the dimple in space-time) and the frame dragging effect is the amount of wobble caused by the spin of the Earth (the twist in space-time). Both values are in precise accord with Einstein’s predictions. -NASA

Note: Our visitors have explored the space-time vortex that exists around Earth that is duplicated and magnified elsewhere in the cosmos.  This concept may explain extraterrestrial space travel from distant planets to Earth in a relatively short time.

Filer’s Files #13 – 2016 Happy Easter - PART I

13

Happy Easter

In special reports, this week’s files cover: Lockheed Skunkworks Engineer, Don Phillips Says UFOs are Real, The Angel of the Lord Attended the Resurrection of Jesus, Charged Cosmic Rays, Ancient Radiation Knowledge Cosmic Rays, ISIS Attack in Belgium, Secret Space Age, Ceres Lights, and UFO moving over the Moon

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Washington.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Iran, Indonesia, and England and Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom.

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Lockheed Skunkworks Engineer, Don Phillips Says UFOs are Real

Don Phillips
I spoke with Don Phillips who worked at Lockheed at the Disclosure Project  he told us, These UFOs were huge and they would just come to a stop and do a 60 degree, 45 degree, 10 degree turn, and then immediately reverse this action”. When I was working with the Skunkworks with Kelly Johnson, we signed an agreement with the government to keep very quiet about this. Anti-gravitational research we were doing. We know that there were some captured craft from 1947 at Roswell, they were real. And, yes, we really did get some technology from them. And, yes, we really did put it to work….We knew each other from what we call the unseen industry. We can term it black, deep black, or hidden.

The knowledge I have of these technologies came from the craft that were captured here on Earth. I did not see the craft, nor did I see the bodies, but I certainly know some of the people that did. There was no question that there are beings from outside the planet. Are these ET people hostile? Well, if they were hostile, with their weaponry they could have destroyed us a long time ago….We got these things that are handheld scanners that scan the body and determine what the condition is. We can also treat from the same scanner. I can tell you personally that we’ve been working on them. In addition, we have ones that can diagnose and cure cancer. One of the purposes I had for founding my technology corporation in 1998, was to bring forth these technologies that that can clean the air and can help get rid of the toxins, and help get rid of the need for so much fossil fuel. Yes, it is time. I can tell you personally that it has already started.

During the Apollo landing, Neil Armstrong says, “They’re here. They are right over there and look at the size of those ships. And, it is obvious they don’t like us being here”.…

The Angel of the Lord Attended the Resurrection of Jesus

Without the resurrection, it is quite certain there would have been no Christian church. There is no doubt that He really did die on the cross. Pilate was given assurance of this by the centurion. The savage spear thrust into His side by the soldier made certain of His death, “and forthwith came there out blood and water,” evidencing complete collapse of the heart cavity. (John 19:34)

Jesus

Resurrection of Christ, 1700 by Noel Coypel

With the ignominious death of Jesus Christ, his disciples were utterly confused and afraid for their own lives. After the Romans crucify Jesus, he is anointed and buried in a new tomb by Joseph of Arimathea. After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

8 So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.9 Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”  Mathew 28 

Jesus appears to many over a span of forty days before his ascension to Heaven, to sit at the Right Hand of God. Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday, the third day after Good Friday, the day of his crucifixion. But with the assurance that Christ was alive, the disciples went forth everywhere proclaiming the resurrection, and multitudes became believers in their Living Lord. If the resurrection is really a demonstrable fact of history, then not only are His claims vindicated, but so are His promises.Death is not, after all, the great victor, but is a defeated foe.

Cloud2

After saying this, Jesus was taken up while those who had gathered together were watching, and a cloud took him out of their sight. Jesus was going away, and the apostles were looking into the sky. Suddenly, two men (angels) wearing white clothes stood beside them. The two men said to the apostles, “Men from Galilee, why are you standing here looking into the sky? You saw Jesus carried away from you into heaven. He will come back in the same way you saw him go.” —Acts 1:6-11

 Charged Cosmic Rays

MilkyWay

The sun is one of hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way. The galaxy is composed of gaseous interstellar medium, neutral or ionized, sometimes concentrated into dense gas clouds made up of atoms molecules, and dust. All of the matter — gas, dust, and stars — rotate around a central axis perpendicular to the galactic plane. The centrifugal force caused by the rotation balances out the gravitational force, which draw all the matter toward the center.

The mass is located within the circle of the Sun’s orbit through the galaxy is about 100 billion times the mass of the Sun. Because the Sun is about average in mass, astronomers have concluded that the galaxy contains about 100 billion stars within its disk.

All stars in the galaxy rotate around a galactic center but not with the same period. Stars at the center have a shorter period than those farther out. The Sun is located in the outer part of the galaxy. The speed of the solar system due to the galactic rotation is about 220 km/s.

Mitch Battros writes, “Physicists from UCLA and Japan have discovered evidence of – “natural nuclear accelerators” residing in our own Milky Way galaxy. Earlier this year, physicists using the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina, the world’s largest cosmic ray observatory, published a surprising discovery: Many of the energetic charged particles found in the Milky Way are not actually protons but nuclei.”

The greater the nuclei-to-proton ratio, the higher the energy. UCLA professor Alexander Kusenko, professor of physics and astronomy says: “When the data came out, they were so unexpected that many people started questioning the applicability of known laws of physics at high energy. The common lore has been that all ultra-high-energy charged particles must come from outside the galaxy.”

Sattlites

Recent scientific discoveries tell us ‘something’ is shifting in our galaxy, and that ‘something’ comes in the form of “charged particles.” Two of our most advanced spacecraft, WISE and PLANCK, are delivering stunning discoveries regarding black holes, dark matter, and a full spectrum of charged particles. This spectrum identifies the smallest known particle as cosmic rays, larger particles known as gamma rays, and the largest particles known as solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CME’s) and coronal holes.

As a result of aligning with a stream of cosmic rays from our Milky Way, and with our Sun reaching its minimum for this cycle, an enormous amount of charged particles will hit our solar system, Earth, and each of us. The outcome is unknown – but it is not completely hidden from our history. I have a group of friends complaining of the sudden start of eye problems and unusual animal, bee and bird deaths.

HisttoryTrouble

Our ancient ancestors did indeed have an awareness of such events occurring thousands of years ago. There are many languages using different words to describe this shift of energy. But, the descriptions were passed down before words of description were born. They came in the form of art, hieroglyphics, petroglyphs, and later story telling. Depending of the tribe and geographical location, different (translated) words were used. It was sometimes referred to as ‘holy spirit’, ‘creator’, ‘sun god’, ‘soul’ – and in more modern times – it might be referred to as Chi, Ki, Prana, Gaia.

It was the Mayan’s description of “ether” which mostly caught my attention. The definition of ‘ether’ described in various dictionaries such as Webster and Cambridge say: “It is a theoretical substance which occupy all space, postulated to account for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation through the universe.” Mayan text mainly from the scared books of ‘Chilam Balam’ and ‘Popol Vuh’. As an open-mined Christian and researcher I do not believe such descriptions are mythical woo-woo. I have always been interested and fascinated by the term “Holy Spirit” and its meaning. When you see pictures used with its association, it sure does resemble a stream of charged particles.

EarthMagnetic

Hard scientific evidence has come forth confirming Earth’s magnetic field is weakening. New research shows a slow flowing solid mantle and its reciprocal connection with a hot fast flowing outer core – is the central focus of Earth’s magnetic field weakening. The outcome of this “convection” between Earth’s outer core and mantle is the production of mantle plumes and the formation of fluid ‘crystallization’. Mantle plumes are a reaction to the Earth’s dipole magnetic core acting as a thermostat.

It is my supported hypothesis suggesting the current weakening of the magnetic field – and its diminishing ability to shield Earth from charged particles – play a large role with the increase of earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and various extreme weather events.

Two Major Results of a Weak Magnetic Field and a Strong Pulse of Charged Particles:

1) A weakened magnetic field allows charged particle events such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CME), coronal hole discharge, plasma filament, gamma rays, and galactic cosmic rays to penetrate the upper and lower atmosphere producing enhanced consequences of extreme weather events which includes earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and various extreme weather events.

2) The second major consequence of a weakened magnetic field is the identification as latitudes below 30° – magnetic north can also move along east and west longitudes. – Thanks to Earth Changes Media.

EarthUnderFire

 In his book, Earth Under Fire Paul LaViolette concludes that explosive activity in the core of our galaxy, the Milky Way, has resulted in past global catastrophes. He writes that the galactic core periodically enters an explosive phase. It then generates an intense wind of cosmic ray particles (electrons, positrons, and protons). These outbursts, which he calls “superwaves,” may recur about every ten thousand years or more and last from several hundred to several thousand years. The explosions generate cosmic rays that travel outward from the center, at close to the speed of light, and pass through the entire galaxy.

LaViolette believes that one such volley of cosmic rays passed through the solar system around the end of the last Ice Age. He writes “For several thousand years the superwave injected large amounts of cosmic dust into our planetary system. This dust substantially altered the Earth’s climate through its effect on the Sun and sunlight transmission through space.” It likely caused the warming of the Earth to come out of the Ice Age leading to floods and worldwide destruction.

LaViolette had written that superwaves might have a gravity-gradient component at their forefront. This component, traveling along with a superwave, could upon its arrival exert a significant tidal pull or jerk, causing a slight reorientation of Earth’s rotational axis.  Discovery of the 15,800-years-B.P. Cosmic Event Almost every culture preserves myths describing humanity’s endurance of terrible past events in-involving major loss of life on a global scale. Stories tell of endless days of darkness; of murky forms in space occluding the stars, the moon, and even the sun; of temperatures high enough to ignite wooded hills; of vast deluges covering all but a few mountain peaks. Whole islands have been found of the bones of animals and humans mixed together.

In Siberia, Mammoths were found frozen in place with food in their stomachs. Nothing in our modern experience comes close to matching these stories of global disaster. So, understandably, many have considered these ancient legends to be wildly imaginative tales. The scientific evidence suggests the Earth’s axis changed or the Earth stopped spinning creating long night or day depending on where you were. Our prehistoric ancestors actually did endure a series of traumatic natural catastrophes, the most recent of which was one of the worst disasters to afflict humanity.

Cosmic raus

Cosmic Rays are atomic nuclei (generally protons) and electrons that are observed to collide with the Earth’s atmosphere with exceedingly high energies. When these nucleons bump with the atmospheric molecules most of their energy is released as heat, warming up the Earth’s atmosphere. “Global Warming” is not an anthropogenic event, but a natural cycle related to the energy of the Universe, not with an anomalous Greenhouse Effect. Tracking Earth’s temperature variations with Intergalactic Cosmic Rays there is an amazing correlation.

The Earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field combine to form a formidable shield against space radiation, protecting humans on the surface most of the time. Hundreds of years ago, cosmic ray fluxes were at least 200% higher than they are now. “The space era has so far experienced a time of relatively low cosmic ray activity,” says Mewaldt. “We may now be returning to levels typical of past centuries.” Astronomers are becoming increasingly knowledgeable about massive bursts of gamma-ray energy impinging on Earth from the depths of the universe. On March 29, 1998, a gamma-ray burst (GRB) was detected that was among the 4 percent brightest of all GRBs seen from Earth.

The gamma and X-ray radiation burst struck Earth over the Pacific Ocean on the night of August 27, 1998 extremely energetic explosion. Scientists also witnessed a massive gamma ray burst on November 21, 2013. It released the energy levels of an exploding star ten times larger than our sun. “There is danger to Earth from the center of the Milky Way that caused catastrophe in the distant past.

Cosmic Rays and Solar Flares  

GammaRayBurst

Gamma Ray Burst

Recent evidence indicates that cosmic rays influence Earth’s climate H. Svensmark of the Danish Meteorological Institute has found that during the most recent 11-year activity cycle of the Sun, Earth’s cloud cover was more closely correlated with the flux of cosmic rays coming from our galaxy than with the Sun’s radiance. The cosmic rays ionize air molecules in Earth’s lower atmosphere and contribute to cloud cover and other weather-related phenomena.

Ancient Radiation Knowledge Cosmic Rays

Rollright StonesCircle
Scientists examined background radiation which is detectable by a Geiger counter in England’s stone circles and they found they generating ‘hot spots’ where the radiation was far higher than normal background radiation.

 Yet when the Geiger counter was moved to the center of the circle, the very reverse was found. ‘Cold spots’ were detected by the scientists, where the radiation dropped below normal background levels.

Now engineer Charles Brooker extended the measurements still further. Back at the Rollrights circle he used a portable magnetometer. And what did this show? A seven-ring spiral of diminishing magnetic intensity. The circle was screening out electro-magnetic radiation. These findings have not been widely publicized. However, they do suggest a sophisticated knowledge of ultrasound as well as a knowledge of various types of radiation in ancient times. It does appear that at least some of Britain’s ancient stone circles were constructed as radiation shelters. We can speculate the knowledge was provided by extraterrestrials or unusually advanced humans.

The Radiation Affect on Earth?

Since space radiation can affect our satellites it can also adversely affect our society by causing problems in communication systems, GPS navigation systems and other high technology systems in space. It can also affect air travel in the Earth’s polar regions, which are less protected by the Earth’s magnetic field than the equatorial region. A large coronal mass ejection from our sun can also cause serious effects in electric power grids. The particle radiation ejected from the sun disturbs the Earth’s magnetic field, causing a “magnetic storm”. This in turn can induce surges in power lines and in an extreme case cause a blackout. A dramatic event of this sort occurred in March 1989, when the resulting power surge shut down an entire system at a power station and caused a blackout in a large portion of Quebec. Due to our growing dependence on high technology systems, an extreme radiation event like this can now potentially cause more economic hardship than other extreme events on our planet such as hurricanes and earthquakes. Besides our sun acting up, the radiation from the center of the Milky Way can cause even greater catastrophy. NASA Website

Belgium ISIS Attack

A well-organized terrorist group has struck again in Brussels, we send our condolences to the families of those thirty-one killed and several hundred wounded. ISIS is expected to conduct additional attacks in France and the United States. Our borders are open and terrorists have little trouble entering the US. If you see something suspicious, tell the authorities. We are at war.

Secret Space Age

Olive Phillips has written a very interesting book that provides the plausibility for a series of conspiracies that makes fascinating reading. In 1977 in the quiet English countryside, a film was aired. It was so shocking that for more than 30 years it’s been discussed and analyzed. But what if Alternative Three was in fact real? Was it the blueprint for surviving the end of the world and a coming ice age? How does it connect to the Secret Space Program with bases on the Moon, Nazi UFO’s, SDI and even Chemtrails? There are few books that delve into the Earth’s ice ages cycle and tie them to government preparations such as underground facilities. Many countries such as Norway have built huge underground facilities that include a vast store of food and seeds.

Phillips realizes global warming will likely end with an ice age cycle that will greatly disrupt food distribution and supplies, thereby ending the modern human existence. Phillips feels we are far ahead of what we are told and our personnel have gone to the Moon and Mars.

SpaceAge

He explains Chemtrails are a program to help stop global warming. He examined thousands of patents and Patent 5003186 called Stratospheric Weisbach or the seeding for the reduction global warming came out of Hughes Aircraft in 1990. It references patents from 1965 and 1988 for dropping metallic particles such as aluminum from the upper atmosphere to diminish the reflectivity of Earth and decrease Global warming. Apparently, additives are placed in the jet fuel that is somewhat effective in providing a sunscreen for planet Earth. Less light energy from the sun is reaching a darkened Earth and helping to reduce temperatures of at least one degree for thirty years, although last year was one of the warmest in recent history. If we were to go years without the Chemtrails sunscreen, ambient temperature would likely rise ten degrees.

For the first time ever shocking details about the Secret Space Program and Alternative Three are exposed. The connections between some of the greatest Conspiracies of all time and a secret government program to move to Mars to survive the coming global apocalypse. Each conspiracy is covered with many unknown facts that make for interesting and enjoyable reading. Website

Dwarf Planet Ceres Lights

Ceres1

There are “bright spots” on the dwarf planet Ceres have been observed to detectably increase and decrease in brightness, if ever so slightly. And what’s particularly interesting is that these observations were made not by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, currently in orbit around Ceres, but from a telescope right here on Earth. Researchers using the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) instrument on ESO’s 3.6-meter telescope at La Silla detected “unexpected” changes in the brightness of Ceres during observations in July and August of 2015. Variations in line with Ceres’ 9-hour rotational period—specifically a Doppler effect in spectral wavelength created by the motion of the bright spots toward or away from Earth—were expected, but other fluctuations in brightness were also detected. “The result was a surprise,” said Antonino Lanza from the INAF–Catania Astrophysical Observatory, co-author of the study. “We did find the expected changes to the spectrum from the rotation of Ceres, but with considerable other variations from night to night.” (More at source).

chosen copy

Lacy’s book is full of recollections not only of his abductions by various aliens, but also of how those abductions have affected his life.

He tells them in such a straightforward, ordinary way, and with so many details, that it’s hard to be skeptical about his story. The details, too, are convincing enough to make anyone at least consider the possibility. After all, what other explanation could there be for a small child being healed of sarcoma after a doctor told his parents that they might as well have another child already as a replacement? What other explanation could there be for Byron’s numerous accounts of having “lost time,” or of his finding scratches and puncture wounds on his body, or of the memories that suddenly resurface about having been brought aboard an alien ship? These questions kept returning to my mind as I read, and I could think of no other answer except to believe that Lacy was telling the truth.

The one complaint I had about the book is the way Lacy presents his story. It does not go in chronological order, which can make it rather hard to follow, and I sometimes had trouble telling when a particular chapter took place. If you stick with it, though, you will find a compelling story that I would recommend to anyone who has had even the slightest question about whether we really are alone in the universe. SAN FRANCISCO BOOK REVIEW.

ByronScoops

Scoop marks on Byron’s right leg

Byron W. Lacy has written an excellent book that should be read by everyone, because if you suspect you are an abductee this is the book you should read. Lacy, a civil servant, musician, artist, and poet was born in Texas. The young Byron was not expected to survive a childhood case of sarcoma cancer. Yet he did, miraculously. In 1961, he witnessed a flying submarine like thing at close range over his entire elementary school class as they exercised in the yard. Other uncanny events include repeated narrow escapes from deadly car accidents. Only in 2009, after seeing a couple of “stargates” materialize in the sky was Lacy convinced he had been alien plagued and abducted for a generation. His imaginary playmate “pirates” Byron saw, as a little boy were the enigmatic intruders. Byron believes he and fellow “abductees” endured many strange experiences: missing time, bodily implants and mysterious scarring, and “little gray” humanoids. For Byron, it is obvious; skeptics be damned, and countless folks are being abducted. A far-out, disconcertingly readable memoir that flatly declares everything about aliens you read online or see dramatized on TV is true. _Kirkus Reviews, ORDER HERE

Sightings in the United States

California Orb

CalifVentura16Mar16

Ventura — The UFO was a bright blue orb on March 16, 2016. The orb shot across the sky leaving a streak, then moving from bottom right to left toward the center of view on the horizon as it slowed!

The UFO seemed to be charging in the sun in the late afternoon and observing the kite surfing! I believe when it shot across the sky, it was solar powered and testing its charge from the Sun. Thanks to MUFON CMS

CalifLA16Mar16

Los Angeles —I was downtown in the morning on March 16, 2016, watching a helicopter carrying a load.

Below it were eight lights that fifty people witnessed. Everyone pulled out their cell phones and captured snap shots. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Orb

FLApopka21Mar`6

 Apopka — I was taking photos for my Brother and he said he found something unusual in my photo of Jupiter next to the Moon. Therefore, the next three hours were spent taking photos and videos. He found unusual movements of gray-white-green ball as it moved quickly spinning and then disappearing. My brother made a YouTube video of the originals and his close-ups and the two videos I took last night ending around 11 pm. EST. My brother has been accepting my many photos of some weird objects in both ball form and changing to worm-like structures over Apopka. The nine photos I took of the blue-green ball were south and left of the Moon. Many of the objects could be in infrared light as they are only visible in the image that I have been taking for two months. Thanks to MUFON CMS’

Illinois Astronomer Astonished by Boomerang

Boomerang

Elgin — I was in my backyard with my telescope and binoculars looking for the Comet Catalina on January 2, 2016. The boomerang entered the field of view of my binoculars as I was observing the star Arcturus. It took two seconds to cross the five-degree field of view. It was uniform dull gray and glided elegantly and smoothly directly south silently. Its speed was akin to a passenger jet. The boomerang UFO had no apparent details with gradual tapering along the arms with sharply defined edges.  I followed it with my binoculars and suddenly it was gone! As an experienced amateur astronomer for over 50 years, I have never seen anything like this. It was one of three categories: 1. Secret military aircraft. 2. Unknown atmospheric or magnetic phenomena. 3. Demonic manifestations (also a strong suspicion of my former professor, J. Allen Hynek. I had an otherworldly feeling, having just finished a short prayer to God. My wife, also a lifelong amateur astronomer, saw an identical craft from the west side of Chicago in the spring of 1968. Three identical gray boomerangs appeared and passed near Orion’s Belt and then vanished. My parents saw a gray boomerang in 1947 traveling much faster than any jet. As a professionally trained astronomer, I have long held the strong suspicion that we are the only human beings in the universe. I do not conclude that physical inhabitants are visiting us from an extra-solar planet. NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website

Kansas Triangle

KansasLenexa18Feb16

Lenexa — I was driving in my parking lot at work when I noticed a triangular object in the sky to the east. I stopped my car, and got out my cell phone to take a couple pictures.

I took two pictures and got out of the car to take some more and the object was gone. The silent object never moved from where I could see it. I was curious, as I had never seen anything like it before. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ohio Orb

OhioWillowick20Mar16

 Willowick – I was outside for a little bit on March 20, 2016, and noticed I was being observed. At first, I thought a drone but I had seen these orbs for years over the lake. This time I was camera ready and took a few videos and photos. The object moved across the sky silently and up and down flashing. Then steady glowing with up and down movements. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Pennsylvania Light

Tannersville — I was skiing at Camelback Mountain Resort on March 3, 2016. While riding the chairlift up to the top, I noticed that there was a full circle rainbow around the sun. Never seeing this before, I took a few shots, and when I got home, I checked the pictures there was a white orb in one picture and white orb emitting a red glow. In another, it was gone. Looking at the pictures, it seems like it is in motion because it gets closer to the sun in a matter of seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS

South Carolina Lights

SCJJacksonville Beach21Mar16

Sumter – I was walking dogs on March 21, 1016 and looking at stars and noticed flashing lights, bigger than Jupiter. I thought helicopter because I was in disbelief because it hovered, but it was silent and helicopters aren’t big spherical lights that change colors like this. I looked away for a few seconds to tend to dogs and when I turned back, it was not visible anymore.

A small plan did fly by shortly after with some alternating lights on bottom but it definitely was not same craft.

 Battle Ground — I was in the back yard on March 21 2016, and heard this incoming Chinook Helicopter flying near, close to the ground, very loud, and as it passed into view, just ahead of it was this dark moving craft. Observing both was very short, but I could make out a cigar shape as best as I can describe. It could have diamond shape, or could be a disc on edge, but it was very much something that was making now sound at all and seeing the helicopter so close to it, could see it was being escorted.

 WA1Mar16

Moclips — I was out clam digging with my sister and nephew on March 18, 2016. I decided to take a couple pictures of the sunset before we left the beach. The next day I was looking at the photos and seen it! I was shocked when I seen the green specks around the glowing orb.

Argentina Airliner Has a Run in with a UFO

Argentinapilot

 Rio Grande — A pilot from a well-known airline saw a strange “object” as he was about to land in Rio Grande February 17, 2016. This object was in an area “forbidden” or restricted to air traffic, and the pilot asked the tower if they could pick up any “air traffic.” The tower replied that no abnormalities were detected and then asked the pilot if the object in question was in the airliner’s flight path. The pilot said, “No that it was over to one side.” He was then given permission to land by the tower, which requested a report, which was recorded.  This event became known through the Facebook page of renowned tour operator José Heredia, who reported the occurrence, given that his position allows him to have access to communications between airline pilots and the control tower.

The news was published by Infofuegina (web site) but lacking any certainty or particulars on the case, he decided to set the note aside until more information could be gleaned. But while the entry was still active, it caught the attention of the Reports Ovni Argentina NGO, two of whose members contacted journalist Ramon Taborda Strusiat. Jose Heredia wondered: A UFO? He said that while, “listening to the Control Tower frequency of the Rio Grande Airport he heard a private aircraft pilot’s report regarding alleged ‘traffic’ in his air corridor which had not been reported.”  Heredia added: There should not be any traffic in that corridor at the time so an UFO was in the vicinity of our city.”  “In fact, ANAC personnel asked the pilot to leave a written record upon his arrival.”Heredia wrote at 11:48 hours on 17 February 2016, which suggests that the event occurred at 11:20 that morning. Ovni Argentina NGO, managed to contact the pilot in Buenos Aires, but he refused to go public with the story.  NOTE: The above image is CGI. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website

Australia Plane and UFO

AustraliaPlane21Mae16

Mudgee, New South Wales, Anna Toth was using an infrared camera which allows you to see light that is normally invisible to the human eye on March 20, 2016. These cameras are becoming a main tool in the hunt for UFOs.
This cool catch of an airliner near an orb was captured by Anna Toth of YouTube. This is a rare and exciting catch of a cloud orb. They do not stray from the clouds that often and when they do, they usually move at incredible speed.

 Canada Orb

CanToronto4Jul16

 Toronto – I waited to take a photo of the UFO, which showed up between two buildings. It was a nice round disc white to blue in color :)
It appeared in the southeast part of the sky and floated just briefly in a straight line towards the south. I did not see it disappear as I looked at the  viewfinder to see if I did get the perfect shot. This was at 10:02 PM, on the 4 July 2014. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Chile Flying Object

ChiliLota2007

Lota — Workers of a company claim having seen an extraterrestrial craft flying over the commune. These employees believe it stopped in mid-air to observe them on December 8, 2007.  Located only meters from the coast, Mario says I am certain that the crew was aware of my presence at 2:10 AM, and saw a “machine” fly overhead. “There was a fluorescent light around it and no portholes. The object was dark, flat on its underside. It had an oval-shaped tail section with an orange-red light, and a violet one. Both were intermittent. This was not a craft made on Earth.”  In spite of the shocking experience, Mario believes himself to be among the “chosen.” Then it made a 90-degree turn, patrolling the area,” he stated. According to the witness, the object continued on its way, flying over a considerable section of Lota and then heading for the Cordilleran forest. The sighting lasted almost15 minutes. A co-worker said, very seriously, “I think they were among us.” NOTE: The above image is a rendering. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website

Iran Amazing Photo of an Alien Craft

IranTehran19Oct15

Tehran — About 11:30 PM we arrived home and as usual I looked at the sky to watch constellations on October 19, 2015. Instantly I saw several flashing star like dots aligned in an exact line and I knew there is no such constellation. I looked more carefully and I saw an object at the beginning of the alignment line, which looked like a jet. I counted eleven flashing dots following the jet-like object. Most were blue and one was flashing red light. Their movement was like a string attached to a kite. I grabbed my camera and zoomed in I saw two triangles forming a lung shape. One red-green flashing light is a rectangular shaped thing. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website

Northern Ireland Object

UKBelfast29Nov16

Belfast — I was outside my back garden taking photos of cloud formations on November 29, 2016. When I put them on my pc, I noticed a little spec on two frames, so I enlarged them to find the oddest things! I went back out straight away but they were gone. I have not manipulated photos at all, just enlarged them. The night before, I observed a small starlight object, high up in the atmosphere, so I grabbed my very strong LED torch aimed at the ufo and flashed twice slowly at it. “IT GLOWED BACK AT ME IN A BEAUTIFUL STARRY BLUE!” and disappeared.

Russia Object

RUZelenograd12Swp16

 Zelenograd — I was traveling in a bus and saw it moving high up. It was black and awful and at first. I thought it was balloon.

It was really high and was steel.

Suddenly it changed its form to a straight line, then back and disappeared in a few minutes.

UKBirmingham21

Birmingham — I like to take pictures of special cloud formation. On 18 an 21 of February 2016 I was taken pictures with my S6 phone, and I noticed after taken that on some of them I have a spot but I thought maybe is a lens reflection. Yesterday I was checking the files and that spots intrigued me because of the green color. Therefore, I zoomed them and I noticed a pattern of white spots on them never in same place. In addition, the position of the orb relating the sun position was different in two pictures.
I am sending you this pictures because is not the first time in my life I have some glowing orbs in my pictures that I did not notice when I take the picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS

7 Theories on the Origin of Life

7 Theories on the Origin of Life

Early bombardment of earth

Primordial soup

Life on Earth began more than 3 billion years ago, evolving from the most basic of microbes into a dazzling array of complexity over time. But how did the first organisms on the only known home to life in the universe develop from the primordial soup?

One theory involved a “shocking” start. Another idea is utterly chilling. And one theory is out of this world!

Inside you’ll learn just how mysterious this all is, as we reveal the different scientific theories on the origins of life on Earth.

Electric Spark

Lightning may have provided the spark needed for life to begin.

Electric sparks can generate amino acids and sugars from an atmosphere loaded with water, methane, ammonia and hydrogen, as was shown in the famous Miller-Urey experiment reported in 1953, suggesting that lightning might have helped create the key building blocks of life on Earth in its early days. Over millions of years, volcanic clouds in the early atmosphere might have held methane, ammonia and hydrogen and been filled with lightning as well.

Or could simple clay have fueled life’s beginning? Read on to find out.

Community Clay

First life on clay

The first molecules of life might have met on clay, according to an idea elaborated by organic chemist Alexander Graham Cairns-Smith at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. These surfaces might not only have concentrated these organic compounds together, but also helped organize them into patterns much like our genes do now.

The main role of DNA is to store information on how other molecules should be arranged. Genetic sequences in DNA are essentially instructions on how amino acids should be arranged in proteins. Cairns-Smith suggests that mineral crystals in clay could have arranged organic molecules into organized patterns. After a while, organic molecules took over this job and organized themselves.

Or maybe life began at the bottom of the sea. Keep going to learn how.

Deep-Sea Vents

The deep-sea vent theory suggests that life may have begun atsubmarine hydrothermal vents spewing key hydrogen-rich molecules. Their rocky nooks could then have concentrated these molecules together and provided mineral catalysts for critical reactions. Even now, these vents, rich in chemical and thermal energy, sustain vibrant ecosystems.

The next idea is a chilling thought. Read on!

Ice might have covered the oceans 3 billion years ago, as the sun was about a third less luminous than it is now, scientists say. This layer of ice, possibly hundreds of feet thick, might have protected fragile organic compounds in the water below from ultraviolet light and destruction from cosmic impacts. The cold might have also helped these molecules to survive longer, allowing key reactions to happen. [Related: The Ingredients of Life]

Understanding life’s origin may involve unravelling the mystery of DNA’s formation, as we explain next.

RNA World

Nowadays DNA needs proteins in order to form, and proteins require DNA to form, so how could these have formed without each other? The answer may be RNA, which can store information like DNA, serve as an enzyme like proteins, and help create both DNA and proteins. Later DNA and proteins succeeded this "RNA world," because they are more efficient.

RNA still exists and performs several functions in organisms, including acting as an on-off switch for some genes. The question still remains how RNA got here in the first place. And while some scientists think the molecule could have spontaneously arisen on Earth, others say that was very unlikely to have happened. Other nucleic acids other than RNA have been suggested as well, such as the more esoteric PNA or TNA.

Simple Beginnings

Instead of developing from complex molecules such as RNA, life might have begun with smaller molecules interacting with each other in cycles of reactions. These might have been contained in simple capsules akin to cell membranes, and over time more complex molecules that performed these reactions better than the smaller ones could have evolved, scenarios dubbed "metabolism-first" models, as opposed to the "gene-first" model of the "RNA world" hypothesis.

The final theory is truly out of this world. Check out the next slide.

Panspermia

space molecules, panspermia

Perhaps life did not begin on Earth at all, but was brought here from elsewhere in space, a notion known as panspermia. For instance, rocks regularly get blasted off Mars by cosmic impacts, and a number of Martian meteorites have been found on Earth that some researchers have controversially suggested brought microbes over here, potentially making us all Martians originally. Other scientists have even suggested that life might have hitchhiked on comets from other star systems. However, even if this concept were true, the question of how life began on Earth would then only change to how life began elsewhere in space.

Oh, and if you thought all that was mysterious, consider this: Scientists admit they don’t even have a good definition of life!

Saturn's Moons and Rings May Be Younger Than the Dinosaurs

Saturn's Moons and Rings May Be Younger Than the Dinosaurs

By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor
Saturn's Moons and Rings May Be Younger Than the Dinosaurs

Some of Saturn's icy moons may have been formed after many dinosaurs roamed the Earth. New computer modeling of the Saturnian system suggests the rings and moons may be no more than 100 million years old.

Saturn hosts 62 known moons. All of them are influenced not only by the gravity of the planet, but also by each other's gravities. A new computer model suggests that the Saturnian moons Tethys, Dione and Rhea haven't seen the kinds of changes in their orbital tilts that are typical for moons that have lived in the system and interacted with other moons over long periods of time. In other words, these appear to be very young moons.

"Moons are always changing their orbits. That's inevitable," Matija Cuk, principal investigator at the SETI Institute and one of the authors of the new research, said in a statement. "But that fact allows us to use computer simulations to tease out the history of Saturn's inner moons. Doing so, we find that they were most likely born during the most recent 2 percent of the planet's history." [Saturn Photos: Latest Images from NASA's Cassini Orbiter]

The age of Saturn's rings has come under considerable debate since their discovery in the 1600s. In 2012, however, French astronomers suggested that some of the inner moons and the planet's well-known rings may have recent origins. The researchers showed that tidal effects — which refer to "the gravitational interaction of the inner moons with fluids deep in Saturn’s interior," according to the statement — should cause the moons to move to larger orbits in a very short time.

"Saturn has dozens of moons that are slowly increasing their orbital size due to tidal effects. In addition, pairs of moons may occasionally move into orbital resonances. This occurs when one moon's orbital period becomes a simple fraction of another. For example, one moon could orbit twice as fast as another moon, or three times as fast.

Saturn's moon Tethys may only have formed about 100 million years ago.

Once an orbital resonance takes place, the moons can affect each other's gravity, even if they are very small. This will eventually elongate their orbits and tilt them from their original orbital plane.

By looking at computer models that predict how extended a moon's orbit should become over time, and comparing that with the actual position of the moon today, the researchers found that the orbits of Tethys, Dione and Rhea are "less dramatically altered than previously thought," the statement said. The moons don't appear to have moved very far from where they were born.

To get a more specific value for the ages of these moons, Cuk used ice geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus. The researchers assumed that the energy powering those geysers comes from tidal interactions with Saturn and that the level of geothermal activity on Enceladus has been constant, and from there, inferred the strength of the tidal forces from Saturn.

Using the computer simulations, the researchers concluded that Enceladus would have moved from its original orbital position to its current one in just 100 million years — meaning it likely formed during the Cretaceous period. The larger implication is that the inner moons of Saturn and its gorgeous rings are all relatively young. (The more distant moons Titan and Iapetus would not have been formed at the same time.)

"So the question arises — what caused the recent birth of the inner moons?" Cuk said in the statement.  "Our best guess is that Saturn had a similar collection of moons before, but their orbits were disturbed by a special kind of orbital resonance involving Saturn's motion around the sun. Eventually, the orbits of neighboring moons crossed, and these objects collided. From this rubble, the present set of moons and rings formed."

The research is being published in the Astrophysical Journal.

Astronomers say a Neptune-sized planet lurks beyond Pluto

Astronomers say a Neptune-sized planet lurks beyond Pluto

By Eric HandJan. 

The solar system appears to have a new ninth planet. Today, two scientists announced evidence that a body nearly the size of Neptune—but as yet unseen—orbits the sun every 15,000 years. During the solar system’s infancy 4.5 billion years ago, they say, the giant planet was knocked out of the planet-forming region near the sun. Slowed down by gas, the planet settled into a distant elliptical orbit, where it still lurks today.

The claim is the strongest yet in the centuries-long search for a “Planet X” beyond Neptune. The quest has been plagued by far-fetched claims and even outright quackery. But the new evidence comes from a pair of respected planetary scientists, Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, who prepared for the inevitable skepticism with detailed analyses of the orbits of other distant objects and months of computer simulations. “If you say, ‘We have evidence for Planet X,’ almost any astronomer will say, ‘This again? These guys are clearly crazy.’ I would, too,” Brown says. “Why is this different? This is different because this time we’re right.”

Outside scientists say their calculations stack up and express a mixture of caution and excitement about the result. “I could not imagine a bigger deal if—and of course that’s a boldface ‘if’—if it turns out to be right,” says Gregory Laughlin, a planetary scientist at the University of California (UC), Santa Cruz. “What’s thrilling about it is [the planet] is detectable.”

Batygin and Brown inferred its presence from the peculiar clustering of six previously known objects that orbit beyond Neptune. They say there’s only a 0.007% chance, or about one in 15,000, that the clustering could be a coincidence. Instead, they say, a planet with the mass of 10 Earths has shepherded the six objects into their strange elliptical orbits, tilted out of the plane of the solar system.

The orbit of the inferred planet is similarly tilted, as well as stretched to distances that will explode previous conceptions of the solar system. Its closest approach to the sun is seven times farther than Neptune, or 200 astronomical units (AUs). (An AU is the distance between Earth and the sun, about 150 million kilometers.) And Planet X could roam as far as 600 to 1200 AU, well beyond the Kuiper belt, the region of small icy worlds that begins at Neptune’s edge about 30 AU.

If Planet X is out there, Brown and Batygin say, astronomers ought to find more objects in telltale orbits, shaped by the pull of the hidden giant. But Brown knows that no one will really believe in the discovery until Planet X itself appears within a telescope viewfinder. “Until there’s a direct detection, it’s a hypothesis—even a potentially very good hypothesis,” he says. The team has time on the one large telescope in Hawaii that is suited for the search, and they hope other astronomers will join in the hunt.

Killing Pluto was fun, but this is head and shoulders above everything else.

Mike Brown, Caltech

Batygin and Brown published the result today in The Astronomical Journal. Alessandro Morbidelli, a planetary dynamicist at the Nice Observatory in France, performed the peer review for the paper. In a statement, he says Batygin and Brown made a “very solid argument” and that he is “quite convinced by the existence of a distant planet.”

Championing a new ninth planet is an ironic role for Brown; he is better known as a planet slayer. His 2005 discovery of Eris, a remote icy world nearly the same size as Pluto, revealed that what was seen as the outermost planet was just one of many worlds in the Kuiper belt. Astronomers promptly reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet—a saga Brown recounted in his book How I Killed Pluto.

Now, he has joined the centuries-old search for new planets. His method—inferring the existence of Planet X from its ghostly gravitational effects—has a respectable track record. In 1846, for example, the French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier predicted the existence of a giant planet from irregularities in the orbit of Uranus. Astronomers at the Berlin Observatory found the new planet, Neptune, where it was supposed to be, sparking a media sensation.

Remaining hiccups in Uranus’s orbit led scientists to think that there might yet be one more planet, and in 1906 Percival Lowell, a wealthy tycoon, began the search for what he called “Planet X” at his new observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. In 1930, Pluto turned up—but it was far too small to tug meaningfully on Uranus. More than half a century later, new calculations based on measurements by the Voyager spacecraft revealed that the orbits of Uranus and Neptune were just fine on their own: No Planet X was needed.

Yet the allure of Planet X persisted. In the 1980s, for example, researchers proposed that an unseen brown dwarf star could cause periodic extinctions on Earth by triggering fusillades of comets. In the 1990s, scientists invoked a Jupiter-sized planet at the solar system’s edge to explain the origin of certain oddball comets. Just last month, researchers claimed to have detected the faint microwave glow of an outsized rocky planet some 300 AU away, using an array of telescope dishes in Chile called the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). (Brown was one of many skeptics, noting that ALMA’s narrow field of view made the chances of finding such an object vanishingly slim.)

Brown got his first inkling of his current quarry in 2003, when he led a team that found Sedna, an object a bit smaller than both Eris and Pluto. Sedna’s odd, far-flung orbit made it the most distant known object in the solar system at the time. Its perihelion, or closest point to the sun, lay at 76 AU, beyond the Kuiper belt and far outside the influence of Neptune’s gravity. The implication was clear: Something massive, well beyond Neptune, must have pulled Sedna into its distant orbit.

(DATA) JPL; BATYGIN AND BROWN/CALTECH; (DIAGRAM) A. CUADRA/SCIENCE

That something didn’t have to be a planet. Sedna’s gravitational nudge could have come from a passing star, or from one of the many other stellar nurseries that surrounded the nascent sun at the time of the solar system’s formation.

Since then, a handful of other icy objects have turned up in similar orbits. By combining Sedna with five other weirdos, Brown says he has ruled out stars as the unseen influence: Only a planet could explain such strange orbits. Of his three major discoveries—Eris, Sedna, and now, potentially, Planet X—Brown says the last is the most sensational. “Killing Pluto was fun. Finding Sedna was scientifically interesting,” he says. “But this one, this is head and shoulders above everything else.”

Brown and Batygin were nearly beaten to the punch. For years, Sedna was a lone clue to a perturbation from beyond Neptune. Then, in 2014, Scott Sheppard and Chad Trujillo (a former graduate student of Brown’s) published a paper describing the discovery of VP113, another object that never comes close to the sun. Sheppard, of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C., and Trujillo, of the Gemini Observatory in Hawaii, were well aware of the implications. They began to examine the orbits of the two objects along with 10 other oddballs. They noticed that, at perihelion, all came very near the plane of solar system in which Earth orbits, called the ecliptic. In a paper, Sheppard and Trujillo pointed out the peculiar clumping and raised the possibility that a distant large planet had herded the objects near the ecliptic. But they didn’t press the result any further.

Later that year, at Caltech, Batygin and Brown began discussing the results. Plotting the orbits of the distant objects, Batygin says, they realized that the pattern that Sheppard and Trujillo had noticed “was only half of the story.” Not only were the objects near the ecliptic at perihelia, but their perihelia were physically clustered in space (see diagram, above).

For the next year, the duo secretly discussed the pattern and what it meant. It was an easy relationship, and their skills complemented each other. Batygin, a 29-year-old whiz kid computer modeler, went to college at UC Santa Cruz for the beach and the chance to play in a rock band. But he made his mark there by modeling the fate of the solar system over billions of years, showing that, in rare cases, it was unstable: Mercury may plunge into the sun or collide with Venus. “It was an amazing accomplishment for an undergraduate,” says Laughlin, who worked with him at the time.

Brown, 50, is the observational astronomer, with a flair for dramatic discoveries and the confidence to match. He wears shorts and sandals to work, puts his feet up on his desk, and has a breeziness that masks intensity and ambition. He has a program all set to sift for Planet X in data from a major telescope the moment they become publicly available later this year.

Their offices are a few doors down from each other. “My couch is nicer, so we tend to talk more in my office,” Batygin says. “We tend to look more at data in Mike’s.” They even became exercise buddies, and discussed their ideas while waiting to get in the water at a Los Angeles, California, triathlon in the spring of 2015.

First, they winnowed the dozen objects studied by Sheppard and Trujillo to the six most distant—discovered by six different surveys on six different telescopes. That made it less likely that the clumping might be due to an observation bias such as pointing a telescope at a particular part of the sky.

Batygin began seeding his solar system models with Planet X’s of various sizes and orbits, to see which version best explained the objects’ paths. Some of the computer runs took months. A favored size for Planet X emerged—between five and 15 Earth masses—as well as a preferred orbit: antialigned in space from the six small objects, so that its perihelion is in the same direction as the six objects’ aphelion, or farthest point from the sun. The orbits of the six cross that of Planet X, but not when the big bully is nearby and could disrupt them. The final epiphany came 2 months ago, when Batygin’s simulations showed that Planet X should also sculpt the orbits of objects that swoop into the solar system from above and below, nearly orthogonal to the ecliptic. “It sparked this memory,” Brown says. “I had seen these objects before.” It turns out that, since 2002, five of these highly inclined Kuiper belt objects have been discovered, and their origins are largely unexplained. “Not only are they there, but they are in exactly the places we predicted,” Brown says. “That is when I realized that this is not just an interesting and good idea—this is actually real.”

Sheppard, who with Trujillo had also suspected an unseen planet, says Batygin and Brown “took our result to the next level. …They got deep into the dynamics, something that Chad and I aren’t really good with. That’s why I think this is exciting.”

Others, like planetary scientist Dave Jewitt, who discovered the Kuiper belt, are more cautious. The 0.007% chance that the clustering of the six objects is coincidental gives the planet claim a statistical significance of 3.8 sigma—beyond the 3-sigma threshold typically required to be taken seriously, but short of the 5 sigma that is sometimes used in fields like particle physics. That worries Jewitt, who has seen plenty of 3-sigma results disappear before. By reducing the dozen objects examined by Sheppard and Trujillo to six for their analysis, Batygin and Brown weakened their claim, he says. “I worry that the finding of a single new object that is not in the group would destroy the whole edifice,” says Jewitt, who is at UC Los Angeles. “It’s a game of sticks with only six sticks.”

Astronomers say a Neptune-sized planet lurks beyond Pluto

At first blush, another potential problem comes from NASA’s Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), a satellite that completed an all-sky survey looking for the heat of brown dwarfs—or giant planets. It ruled out the existence of a Saturn-or-larger planet as far out as 10,000 AU, according to a 2013 study by Kevin Luhman, an astronomer at Pennsylvania State University, University Park. But Luhman notes that if Planet X is Neptune-sized or smaller, as Batygin and Brown say, WISE would have missed it. He says there is a slim chance of detection in another WISE data set at longer wavelengths—sensitive to cooler radiation—which was collected for 20% of the sky. Luhman is now analyzing those data.

Even if Batygin and Brown can convince other astronomers that Planet X exists, they face another challenge: explaining how it ended up so far from the sun. At such distances, the protoplanetary disk of dust and gas was likely to have been too thin to fuel planet growth. And even if Planet X did get a foothold as a planetesimal, it would have moved too slowly in its vast, lazy orbit to hoover up enough material to become a giant.

Instead, Batygin and Brown propose that Planet X formed much closer to the sun, alongside Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Computer models have shown that the early solar system was a tumultuous billiards table, with dozens or even hundreds of planetary building blocks the size of Earth bouncing around. Another embryonic giant planet could easily have formed there, only to be booted outward by a gravitational kick from another gas giant.

It’s harder to explain why Planet X didn’t either loop back around to where it started or leave the solar system entirely. But Batygin says that residual gas in the protoplanetary disk might have exerted enough drag to slow the planet just enough for it to settle into a distant orbit and remain in the solar system. That could have happened if the ejection took place when the solar system was between 3 million and 10 million years old, he says, before all the gas in the disk was lost into space.

Hal Levison, a planetary dynamicist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, agrees that something has to be creating the orbital alignment Batygin and Brown have detected. But he says the origin story they have developed for Planet X and their special pleading for a gas-slowed ejection add up to “a low-probability event.” Other researchers are more positive. The proposed scenario is plausible, Laughlin says. “Usually things like this are wrong, but I’m really excited about this one,” he says. “It’s better than a coin flip.”

All this means that Planet X will remain in limbo until it is actually found.

Astronomers have some good ideas about where to look, but spotting the new planet won’t be easy. Because objects in highly elliptical orbits move fastest when they are close to the sun, Planet X spends very little time at 200 AU. And if it were there right now, Brown says, it would be so bright that astronomers probably would have already spotted it.

Instead, Planet X is likely to spend most of its time near aphelion, slowly trotting along at distances between 600 and 1200 AU. Most telescopes capable of seeing a dim object at such distances, such as the Hubble Space Telescope or the 10-meter Keck telescopes in Hawaii, have extremely tiny fields of view. It would be like looking for a needle in a haystack by peering through a drinking straw.

One telescope can help: Subaru, an 8-meter telescope in Hawaii that is owned by Japan. It has enough light-gathering area to detect such a faint object, coupled with a huge field of view—75 times larger than that of a Keck telescope. That allows astronomers to scan large swaths of the sky each night. Batygin and Brown are using Subaru to look for Planet X—and they are coordinating their efforts with their erstwhile competitors, Sheppard and Trujillo, who have also joined the hunt with Subaru. Brown says it will take about 5 years for the two teams to search most of the area where Planet X could be lurking.

The 8-meter Subaru Telescope atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii has a large field of view—enabling it to search efficiently for Planet X.

If the search pans out, what should the new member of the sun’s family be called? Brown says it’s too early to worry about that and scrupulously avoids offering up suggestions. For now, he and Batygin are calling it Planet Nine (and, for the past year, informally, Planet Phattie—1990s slang for “cool”). Brown notes that neither Uranus nor Neptune—the two planets discovered in modern times—ended up being named by their discoverers, and he thinks that that’s probably a good thing. It’s bigger than any one person, he says: “It’s kind of like finding a new continent on Earth.”

He is sure, however, that Planet X—unlike Pluto—deserves to be called a planet. Something the size of Neptune in the solar system? Don’t even ask. “No one would argue this one, not even me.”

NASA dropped a 2-ton kinetic missile on the moon: What did they destroy?

NASA dropped a 2-ton kinetic missile on the moon: What did they destroy?

NASA dropped a 2-ton kinetic missile on the moon: What did they destroy?

Is it possible that NASA bombed the moon in order to destroy an Alien base? According to many people around the world, the answer is a big YES.
 
According to a set of images and alleged reports, there are alien structures on the surface of the moon, and NASA launched a 2-ton kinetic weapon to destroy them, despite international laws clearly prohibiting it.
 
One of the greatest enigmas regarding UFOs and Alien life is whether governments and Space Agencies around the world are covering up such information. While seeing UFO’s on Earth and videos from space isn’t something new, in the last couple of years, a lot of attention has been drawn to Earth’s moon. There, on the surface of Earth’s natural surface lay numerous ‘Alien’ Bases. The fact that many believe NASA and governments around the world have covered up information on these alien bases has become a widely accepted ideology in the last decade among ufologists and believers.
 
One of the most interesting things about the moon, which involves a ‘typical’ cover-up is the LCROSS mission by NASA where they literally BOMBED the surface of the moon for alleged ‘Scientific’ purposes.
 
Despite the fact that it strictly prohibited, NASA released a ‘Centaur’ kinetic weapon which ultimately impacted the moon.
 
In the last couple of decades, several extremely important treaties have made significant impact on Military Space Policy, and according to the Book The Paths Of Heaven: The Evolution Of Airpower Theory, the following treaties are of note:
 
1)   The Outer Space Treaty (OST) which dates back to 1967, clearly states that international law applies BEYOND the atmosphere. The treaty of 1967 reemphasized standing international laws and initiated new space-related laws: Free Access to space and celestial bodies for peaceful intent, prohibitions on national appropriations of space or celestial bodies, prohibitions on putting any weapons of mass destruction in space or on celestial bodies.
 
2)   The Antiballistic Missile (ABM) treaty of 1972 (which was signed between the USA and the USSR) banned the development, testing, and employment of space-based ABMs.
 
3)   The Convention on Registration (1974) requires parties to maintain a registry of objects launched into space and report orbital parameters and general function of those objects to the UN.
 
4)   And most importantly, the Environmental Modification Convention signed in 1980 which prohibits the hostile use of environmental modification.
 
Apart of the above-mentioned treaties, in 1977 a convention was concluded on the prohibition of military or any other hostile use of environmental modification techniques which set out a number of prohibitions also with respect to outer space and celestial bodies. (Source: Perestroika and International Law)
 
Despite the above-mentioned facts, NASA modified the surface of the moon after launching the 2-ton kinetic weapon which created a 5-mile wide crater.
 
‘Officially’, the main LCROSS mission objective was to explore the presence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region. The mission was launched together with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) on June 18, 2009, as part of the shared Lunar Precursor Robotic Program, the first American mission to the Moon in over ten years.
 

But… why break numerous international laws and go against their very own standards all of a sudden? Well, according to many, the true purpose behind the 2009 LCROSS ‘Moon bombing’ was far more enigmatic than anyone at NASA is willing to accept.

According to many ufologists,-and alleged images which show ‘alien’ structures on the surface of the moon- NASAs LCROSS mission had a more militaristic objective rather than scientific. Many believe that the 2-ton kinetic weapon that was detonated on the Moon’s South Pole was aimed at an Alien Base located there.
 
Check out these images:
 
 
 
This “bombed” moon base might perhaps explain why we haven’t been there in recent years, why would we avoid the Moon so much? We know that it is a place filled with minerals, it has water (and they really needed to bomb it to find out?) and it would make a perfect outpost for anyone who wants to continue the exploration of our solar system and it would also help us get to Mars and beyond.
 
However, despite the fact that many reports and enigmatic images of alleged structures on the moon are there, it’s nearly impossible to prove (or disprove for that matter) their existence and the truth behind until perhaps one day, we return to the Moon. However, returning to the moon isn’t a guarantee that we will finally have disclosure whether or not there is an alien presence on the moon.
 
It is a profound mystery why NASA decided to break international laws and literally BOMBEDthe moon for alleged scientific purposes.

Humans May Go Extinct in the Near Future, Experts Determine

Humans May Go Extinct in the Near Future, Experts Determine

Humans May Go Extinct in the Near Future, Experts Determine

A recent study has revealed that carbon emissions reached a new historic level, with the same measurements being recorded some 66 million years ago, when numerous dinosaur species went extinct from the surface of the Earth.
 
 Carbon dioxide emissions continue to rise, although at a slower pace than the previous years. Analysts have been digging through geological evidence in the hopes of finding a similar period in our planet’s history when the temperatures raised to a similar level, so they used sediment cores gathered from the New Jersey coast to inspect the isotope measurements.
 
The team of experts led by Richard Zeebe from the University of Hawaii discovered that an increase in carbon emissions and global warming occurred almost at the same time during the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) period approximately 56 million years ago, in a time when the supercontinent Pangea started to divide into smaller continents.
 
Scientists consider the current climate changes to be similar to those happening during the PETM period, just that the current shift is happening at a more hasted pace.
 
However, the most intriguing part of the study was when Zeebe and his colleagues compared the annual carbon emissions rates from present days and the PETM. During the dinosaur age, emissions ranged between 0.6 and 1.1 billion tonnes per year, while today, there are over 10 billion tonnes that are annually being spread throughout the atmosphere, and the numbers are rising each year.
 
 
To better understand the gravity of the situation, the team of experts referred to today’s carbon emission levels as the highest they’ve ever been since dinosaurs roamed the planet, and probably even earlier than that. So, should we be alarmed by this never-before experienced CO2 emissions?
 
“We conclude that, given currently available records, the present anthropogenic carbon release rate is unprecedented during the past 66 million years,” the researchers stated. “We suggest that such a ‘no-analogue’ state represents a fundamental challenge in constraining future climate projections. Also, future ecosystem disruptions are likely to exceed the relatively limited extinctions observed at the PETM.”
 
There is a thin line between the survival of our species and extinction, and while more and more people consider the possibility of space colonies or even colonizing other planets as our salvation ticket, it’s only logical to assume that planet Earth remains our most viable and resourceful alternative. The CO2 emissions have reached an unprecedented level that’s seemingly accelerating year after year, and because of this, it’s hard to anticipate what is going to happen or how much time we have left at our disposal.
 
The planet is going to react sooner or later since the amount of CO2 that’s being released into the atmosphere is ten times higher than the historical maximum. There will be devastating consequences for all earthlings, and unless we manage to surpass this transition phase that we find ourselves into, we may go extinct just like the dinosaurs and other species before us. (source)
 
The complete study is published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Giant Alien Humanoids Evidence Destroyed?

A Supreme Court ruling, has forced the Smithsonian institution to release classified papers dating back to the turn of the century. which could prove the organization was involved in a monstrous historical coverup.
 
During the court case, new elements were brought to light, as several whistle blowers admitted to the existence of documents, that allegedly proved the destruction of tens of thousands of human skeletons, reaching between 6 feet and 12 feet in height.

EmDrive: ‘Onmogelijke’ brandstofloze motor onderworpen aan peer review

EmDrive: 'Onmogelijke' brandstofloze motor onderworpen aan peer review

EmDrive: ‘Onmogelijke’ brandstofloze motor onderworpen aan peer review

De ‘onmogelijke’ EmDrive is een motor die ruimteschepen kan aandrijven door middel van microgolfstraling. Op deze manier kunnen de schepen in de ruimte accelereren zonder brandstof te verbruiken.

Als de technologie werkt zal deze motor voor een revolutie zorgen in de ruimtevaart. Ruimteschepen zouden een stuk lichter worden en lange reizen zouden plotseling een stuk dichterbij komen.

Een door microgolven aangedreven motor die de mens naar de sterren kan brengen. Het klinkt haast te mooi om waar te zijn. Volgens de gangbare natuurkunde kan de EmDrive helemaal niet bestaan.

Geen actie, alleen reactie

Eén van de wetten van Newton zegt dat een reactie (voortstuwing) alleen mogelijk is na een actie (verbranding van brandstof). Bij de EmDrive is er geen actie, ogenschijnlijk alleen reactie. De motor gebruikt elektromagnetisme in een afgesloten ruimte als voortstuwing.

De International Business Times meldt dat de EmDrive op dit moment wordt onderworpen aan collegiale toetsing. De krant heeft de informatie van het forum van NASASpaceflight.com gehaald. Op het forum zegt een lid van het EmDrive-team, Paul March, ook dat beweringen dat Eagleworks, een experimenteel laboratorium in het Johnson Space Center, dood is, niet waar zijn.

Realiteit

Het doel van Eagleworks is het onderzoeken van claims over voortstuwing die vergezocht zijn. Het is dus geen verrassing dat de EmDrive er wordt bestudeerd. De komende maanden moet duidelijk gaan worden of de vreemde technologie ooit realiteit zal worden.

Pak de popcorn er maar bij, schrijft Popular Mechanics, want dit kan allemaal wel eens heel erg raar gaan worden. De site verwacht niet dat de EmDrive de collegiale toetsing met succes zal doorstaan, maar acht het niet onmogelijk.

BUITENAARDSE ONTVOERING IN CANADA?

BUITENAARDSE ONTVOERING IN CANADA? 

aa.jpg

Enige dagen geleden ligt een vrouw in Canada met griep in bed en kijkt door het raam naar een vreemd bewegend licht aan de nachthemel. 

Ze kan zich niets herinneren, maar zowel zij als haar beide dochters hebben vreemde markeringen op het lichaam en ze voelen zich allesbehalve lekker. 



Het hiernavolgende verhaal is onlangs gebeurd in Belwood, Ontario, in Canada. 

Het gebeurde op 16 maart 2016 en is aangemeld bij de Mufon organisatie voor onderzoek. 

Het volgende is wat de getuige verklaart: 

Mijn dochters hadden schoolvakantie en logeerden bij mijn ouders. Ik had last van de griep, dus ik besloot te gaan slapen in het bed van mijn oudste dochter om er zo voor te zorgen dat ik mijn partner niet zou infecteren. 

Ik liet de gordijnen open zodat het maanlicht naar binnen kon schijnen. Rond 23:15 zag ik door de bomen in onze tuin iets dat leek op de flitsende lichten van een vliegtuig aan de nachthemel. 

Het was een heldere nacht, dus keek ik voor ongeveer een minuut naar de lichten en vond dat ze wel een beetje vreemd flitsten, maar dacht dat dit kwam omdat ik ze door de takken van de bomen zag. 

Ik draaide mij op mijn zij om te gaan slapen, maar na 30 minuten merkte ik dat ik niet kon slapen en rolde weer op mijn rug. 

De vreemde flitsende lichten waren er nog steeds en ik besefte dat als het een vliegtuig of een satelliet geweest zou zijn, deze allang weer vertrokken zou zijn. 

Ik stapte uit bed, pakte mijn mobiel die aan het opladen was en begon met filmen. Ik zag de straatlantaarn in de rechter onderkant van het scherm, daarna zoomde ik in op het licht. Ik hield de telefoon stil op de vensterbank en opeens was mijn telefoon compleet dood. 

Ik bukte mij om de telefoon weer aan de lader te doen en toen ik opkeek was het licht weg. 

Ik heb exact hetzelfde licht gezien toen ik een meisje was, ergens laat jaren '90. Samen met mijn vader, moeder en zuster stonden wij achter in onze tuin in St. George te kijken naar een meteorietenstorm. Aan het einde daarvan zag ik precies hetzelfde licht rondhangen boven ons huis en het maakte ook precies dezelfde bewegingen.

In de nacht toen ik probeerde het vreemde licht te filmen, zagen mijn oudste dochter en haar beste vriendin verschillende heldere verlichte lichtbollen in hun slaapkamer in het huis van mijn moeder. 

Niemand van ons voelde zich bang. Wij houden ons niet bezig met paranormale dingen en wij weten ook niet veel over UFO’s. We weten alleen dat wij soms vreemde lichten zien en dat er rondom ons soms vreemde dingen gebeuren. 

Wij voelen ons de laatste tijd niet zo goed. Mijn beide dochters staan op de wachtlijst voor een afspraak met de KNO arts in het ziekenhuis. Ikzelf sta op een wachtlijst voor een onderzoek naar allergie. We hebben allemaal infecties in de luchtwegen en chronische bijholteontsteking. Mijn oudste dochter heeft veel last van neusbloedingen en is wakker geworden met kneuzingen en bloed aan haar gehemelte.

Mijn jongste dochter heeft een bizar driehoekig merkteken op haar schouder en ik heb een vreemd litteken op mijn kuit. Er zijn nog meer vreemde gezondheidsdingen, maar dit is waarschijnlijk voor nu voldoende. Ik heb medische documentatie en foto’s van alles. 

Wat ik graag zou willen weten, is of hier inderdaad iets vreemds aan de hand is?

Now a lot of people are asking why they often cannot see a UFO with a normal camera. Well, thats because there is always an IR (infrared filter) built into the camera to take out the IR light, so your camera will not see the UFO. UFOs reflect IR light, but IR is invisible to the human eye. So either you have to convert a camera by taking out the IR filter so you can see it, or buy a full spectrum camera that only sees in infrared. 


This next piece of UFO footage was captured at around 3PM on 10 April 2011. The camcorderused is an old modified Sony DCR TRV140E with a 1.7x tele-converter, recorded in infrared/visible light mixed and the manual focus in use. I have one, but haven't been able to use it due to clouds 24/7 here in Taiwan. I will try again soon. Check out this video below, its an awesome demonstration of a FULL SPECTRUM, Infrared camera. No cloaked object can hide from it! Its the #1 tool of professional UFO hunters. 

I have an 15 year old Infrared camera, but the new ones are much higher detail, (Click Here for IR camcorders) to view these HD tools.

Here is a great catch of a black disk UFO landed out in the middle of nowhere on the boarder of Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico. Its an hour drive to get to any city, but there is a white pick up truck parked near the black disk. The disk is located where no one would ever look for it. Usually UFOs are parked below water, but to have it above the ground is much more convenient to use in other ways. Don't take my word for it, copy paste the coordinates into the Google search box and check it out.

UFOs: Slaying the Dragon with Stanton T. Friedman

friedman

Stanton T. Friedman believes that there are many things that can be done to improve the respectability score of ufology. In his words, “we can show people facts and the sources of the data.” This presentation includes the details of:

1. Advanced nuclear fission rockets that operate using the same energy as our Sun.
2. The results of major studies such as Project Blue Book, – Special Report No. 14.
3. The false claims that have been made by what Stanton Friedman refers to as “the noisy negativists” and those who foolishly claim that Governments can’t keep secrets.
4. Blacked out Classified UFO documents.
5. UFO pictures that real scientists say are genuine.
6. Reasons for Aliens to visit Earth without landing on the White House lawn and for Governments to withhold evidence.
7. Preparing Research Papers for Journal Publication and the peer review process.
8. How to stop being Apologetic UFOlogists and speak out.

FLASHING LIGHTS, ORBS AND F-16’s OVER WISCONSIN

FLASHING LIGHTS, ORBS AND F-16’s OVER WISCONSIN

(Before It's News)

3-5-16 PORT ST LUCIE FLORIDA--MUFON
FLASHING LIGHTS, ORBS AND F-16’s OVER WISCONSIN
 
NOVEMBER 8, 1995  ……….. ROSHOLT WISCONSIN
 
November 8, 1995 at approximately 8:40p.m., in rural Rosholt, Wisconsin, there was a flash of light that illuminated the entire area around our house. I was in the basement and my mother and stepfather were upstairs. We all went to the front door and noticed an orange orb hovering over a tree line, to the south. I am not sure of the distance, but my best guess is around a half-mile. The object appeared several times the size of a star. It appeared to glow slightly, but the shape was a solid sphere. The orb hovered in the same spot for about 20 minutes. The orb then slowly descended below the tree line until what must have been close to ground level, then ascended back to the original elevation. This took approximately 30 seconds. The orb then traveled east at a speed similar to an airplane. After traveling for about ten seconds, the object reversed direction instantly, without any change in speed. The object arrived back at the original location and disappeared.
At the same moment the orb disappeared, a circle of 8-10 large, bright lights flashed one at a time directly over the field to the south/southwest of our yard. I would say it was no more than 500 feet from our front door, and 250 feet above ground. There was no sound. I would estimate that the width of the object/lights was 75-100 feet. Once the last light went out, there were no more sightings. We continued to look around, all of us a little “freaked out” now.
After a couple of minutes, military jets flew over. I thought it sounded like they were flying to the northeast, but I couldn’t be certain. I phoned the Stevens Point Municipal Airport and reported what I saw. I was told they hadn’t seen anything. I then phoned the Stevens Point Journal newspaper. They told me that they had received multiple reports of 2 F-16s “chasing a UFO.” The November 9 1995 Stevens Point Journal has a front page article with a quote from a Lt. Col. saying that it was the 115th Fighter Wing of Traux Field in Madison, Wisconsin “practicing night flying.” The article concludes with “The only thing they were chasing after were themselves.” (I still have this newspaper if the full article is needed)

Astronomen wijzen het hoogste punt op Saturnus' maan Titan aan

Astronomen wijzen het hoogste punt op Saturnus' maan Titan aan

  • Caroline Kraaijvanger
bergrug.jpg?fit=1024%2C840

Het gaat om een berg die 3337 meter hoog is. Nog niet eerder werd zo’n hoge berg op Titan ontdekt.

En het is waarschijnlijk niet alleen de hoogste berg die tot op heden op Titan ontdekt is. Onderzoekers gaan ervan uit dat dit wel eens de hoogste berg kan zijn die Titan rijk is.

Mithrim Montes
De berg is 3337 meter hoog en maakt deel uit Mithrim Montes: drie bergruggen op rij. De bergruggen bevinden zich in de buurt van de evenaar, waar de meeste bergen van Titan, te vinden zijn.

EROSIE
Op aarde ontstaan bergen en kliffen doordat het oppervlak naar boven wordt geduwd, bijvoorbeeld door platentektoniek of vulkanisme. Tegelijkertijd zorgt erosie – door wind en regen – ervoor dat bergen weer materiaal en dus hoogte verliezen. Uit onderzoek is gebleken dat erosie ook op Titan een rol speelt en wel door toedoen van regen en rivieren. Wel erodeert het oppervlak van de maan waarschijnlijk trager dan op aarde.

Niet zo hoog?
Een berg van 3337 meter hoog is op het eerste gezicht niet zo indrukwekkend. Op aarde zijn immers bergen van bijna negen kilometer hoog te vinden. Maar onderzoekers hadden op voorhand ook zeker niet verwacht zulke hoge bergen op Titan aan te treffen. Sterker nog: ze hadden eigenlijk ook geen bergen van iets meer dan 3 kilometer hoog verwacht. Dat die bergen er wel zijn, suggereert voorzichtig dat op het oppervlak processen spelen die ons nu nog onbekend zijn. Daar moet dus nader onderzoek naar worden gedaan.

“Als verkenners zijn we gemotiveerd om de hoogste of diepste plaatsen te vinden, deels omdat het opwindend is,” stelt onderzoeker Jani Radebaugh. “Maar de extremen van Titan vertellen ons ook belangrijke dingen over krachten die de evolutie van Titan beïnvloeden.”

Magnetische bubbel die aarde beschermt, blijkt zo lek als een mandje

Magnetische bubbel die aarde beschermt, blijkt zo lek als een mandje

  • Caroline Kraaijvanger
magnetosfeer.jpg?fit=600%2C300

Het is de bodyguard van de aarde: de magnetosfeer. De magnetische bubbel rond onze planeet beschermt ons tegen de zonnewind. Tenminste: dat dachten we. Nieuw onderzoek wijst erop dat de beveiliging namelijk zo lek is als een mandje.

Dat meldt ESA. De ruimtevaartorganisatie bestudeerde de magnetosfeer met behulp van satellieten.

Zonnewind
Het magnetisch veld rondom de aarde moet ons beschermen tegen de zonnewind: een stroom geladen deeltjes die zijn eigen magnetische veld meebrengt. Die stroom reist door het zonnestelsel en bereikt zo ook de aarde.

WIST U DAT…
…de zon onlangs met enorme snelheid deeltjes uitspuugde?

Oriëntatie
Onze magnetosfeer moet ons dan tegen deze deeltjes beschermen. In 2006 bleek echter al dat dat niet altijd lukt. Wanneer het magnetisch veld van de zonnewind dezelfde oriëntatie heeft als het magnetisch veld van de aarde kan de zonnewind toch door de magnetosfeer heendringen.

Bijna altijd?
Maar nu hebben onderzoekers ontdekt dat het niet bij deze ene situatie blijft. De zonnewind blijkt in veel meer gevallen door onze magnetosfeer heen te kunnen dringen. “Sterker nog: het is heel moeilijk om een situatie te bedenken waarin de zonnewind niet door de magnetosfeer heen dringt, aangezien de magnetosfeer geen perfecte magnetische bubbel is,” concludeert onderzoeker Kyoung-Joo Hwang.

“De zonnewind kan de magnetosfeer op andere plekken en onder andere omstandigheden dan we eerder dachten binnendringen,” voegt onderzoeker Melvyn Goldstein toe. “Dat suggereert dat de magnetopause (de grens tussen de magnetosfeer en het omringende plasma, red.) dezelfde eigenschappen heeft als een zeef en de zonnewind toestaat om voortdurend in de magnetosfeer te stromen.”

Wat als...de magnetische polen van de aarde zich omdraaien

Wat als...de magnetische polen van de aarde zich omdraaien

  • Caroline Kraaijvanger
mang.jpg?fit=600%2C300

Het is in het verleden talloze keren gebeurd en staat ons ook in de toekomst ongetwijfeld weer te wachten: een omkering van de magnetische polen van de aarde. Maar wanneer en wat voor gevolgen heeft dat?

Volgens sommige doemdenkers zou het eind 2012 gebeuren: de magnetische polen van de aarde zouden zich omdraaien en de wereld zou – zoals de Maya’s het voorspeld hadden – vergaan. Eind december 2012 brak aan en er gebeurde niets. En inmiddels zit 2013 er ook al een heel eind op, is de aarde er nog steeds en bevinden de magnetische polen zich nog op de plek waar ze horen. Het idee dat de Maya’s het einde van de wereld voorspeld hadden, was waanzin. De voorspelling dat de magnetische polen zich eind 2012 abrupt om zouden keren, bleek eveneens onzin. Toch is het idee van omkerende magnetische polen op aarde op zichzelf niet zo heel gek. Het is in het verleden namelijk regelmatig gebeurd. En ja, het zal in de toekomst ongetwijfeld nogmaals gebeuren.

Magnetisch veld
De aarde beschikt over een magnetisch veld met één zuidpool en één noordpool. Dit magnetische veld wordt gegeneerd door de kern van onze aarde: een ijzeren bol waarvan het hart vast en de buitenste laag vloeibaar is. Dat vloeibare ijzer in de kern van onze aarde stroomt en creëert elektrische stromingen die op hun beurt weer het magnetisch veld creëren. Zo af en toe keert het magnetisch veld zich om. De magnetische noordpool verandert dan in de magnetische zuidpool en omgekeerd.

HOE WETEN WE DAT?
Hoe weten we dat het magnetisch veld van de aarde zich de afgelopen miljoenen jaren regelmatig heeft omgedraaid? Die kennis hebben we te danken aan sedimenten die zich op de bodem van de oceaan bevinden. Ooit waren deze sedimenten vloeibaar: lava, afkomstig uit de Mid-Atlantische Rug, een plek waar twee continentale platen uit elkaar bewegen. In het vloeibare gesteente zitten magnetische mineralen en deze nemen de richting van het aardmagnetisch veld aan. Wanneer de lava versteent, wordt die richting vereeuwigd. Sedimenten op de bodem van de oceaan kunnen ons dus vertellen welke richting het aardmagnetisch veld op het moment dat de steen tot stand kwam, had. Door verschillende stenen te dateren, kunnen onderzoekers de richting van het aardmagnetisch veld op verschillende momenten in de geschiedenis van onze planeet achterhalen.

In het verleden
Volgens wetenschappers is het magnetische veld van de aarde in de lange geschiedenis van onze planeet regelmatig omgekeerd. De laatste twintig miljoen jaar gebeurde het gemiddeld elke 200.000 tot 300.000 jaar. Dat is geen abrupte gebeurtenis: daar zijn honderden zoniet duizenden jaren voor nodig. Het is zeker ook geen vloeiende beweging waarmee de noordpool zuidpool wordt en omgekeerd. Magnetische velden smelten samen, duwen en trekken aan elkaar. Tijdens dit proces kunnen meerdere polen op rare breedtes ontstaan alvorens de noordpool echt zuidpool wordt.

De laatste keer
Het omdraaien van het magnetisch veld is eerder regel dan uitzondering. De laatste keer dat het magnetisch veld van de aarde zich omkeerde, was zo’n 780.000 jaar geleden. Men zou – met de kennis dat het magnetisch veld zich gemiddeld elke 300.000 jaar omkeert dan ook verwachten dat ons in de nabije toekomst weer zo’n omkering te wachten staat. Zou het binnenkort dan gaan gebeuren? Niemand weet het. Want een omkering van het magnetisch veld is nu eenmaal niet te voorspellen.

Verandering
Wat we wel zeker weten, is dat het magnetisch veld van de aarde aan het veranderen is. Dat is echter niet iets van de laatste tijd, maar een voortdurend proces. Zo vond Roald Amundsen de magnetische noordpool in 1904 vijftig kilometer verwijderd van het punt waar James Ross deze in 1831 aantrof. En ook gedurende de twintigste eeuw is deze magnetische noordpool aan het schuiven geweest: gemiddeld zo’n tien kilometer per jaar en recent zijn er zelfs jaren geweest waarin deze magnetische pool zich met 40 kilometer per jaar verplaatste. En dat is niet de enige manier waarop het magnetisch veld verandert. Ook de kracht ervan fluctueert: zo is deze sinds de negentiende eeuw met zo’n tien procent afgenomen. Sommige mensen denken dat dat erop wijst dat het magnetische veld zich binnenkort omkeert. Bij die voorspelling wordt er echter flink geëxtrapoleerd: als de trend van het afzwakkende magnetische veld doorzet, zou dit over zo’n 1500 jaar resulteren in een dipoolmoment (een kwantitatieve maat om de intensiteit van het magnetisch veld weer te geven) van nul en dan zou het gaan gebeuren. Maar wetenschappers willen daar niets van weten. “Het veld neemt de hele tijd in kracht toe en af,” vertelt onderzoeker Gary Glatzmaier. “We weten dit van paleomagnetische studies (onderzoeken zoals beschreven in het kader hierboven, red.).”

Doemscenario’s
Wanneer het gaat gebeuren, weten we dus niet. Maar wat mogen we verwachten als het eenmaal zover is? Daarover doen zich heel veel doemverhalen de ronde. Een mooi voorbeeld is het verhaal dat het magnetisch veld van de aarde tijdens een omkering tijdelijk even helemaal wegvalt. In die periode zou de aarde geen enkele bescherming hebben tegen deeltjes afkomstig van de zon, zonnevlammen en plasmawolken. En zonder die bescherming zou het er slecht uitzien voor het leven op aarde. Het klinkt heel logisch, maar toch klopt er niets van. Het magnetisch veld van de aarde kan inderdaad door de tijd heen sterker en zwakker worden. Maar er is geen enkel bewijs dat het magnetisch veld ooit helemaal weg is geweest. En zelfs al zou het magnetisch veld van de aarde even heel zwak worden, dan is dat nog niet direct een probleem. Wel komt er dan iets meer zonnestraling op aarde, maar we hebben het dan zeker niet over dodelijke hoeveelheden. Bovendien is het goed om te onthouden dat het magnetisch veld niet onze enige bescherming is: ook de atmosfeer houdt veel deeltjes afkomstig van de zon tegen. Overigens is er ook helemaal geen bewijs dat een omkering van het magnetisch veld verstrekkende gevolgen voor het leven op aarde heeft en resulteert in massa-extincties. Uit paleomagnetisch onderzoek weten we immers dat veranderingen in de ontwikkeling van mens(achtig)en en massa-extincties niet samenvallen met een omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld.

Vogels
We hoeven dus niet bang te zijn dat het magnetisch veld tijdelijk helemaal verdwijnt en het leven op aarde daardoor het veld moet ruimen. Maar de omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld moet toch wel gevolgen hebben voor het leven op aarde? Jawel. Ten eerste werkt uw kompas niet meer zoals het hoort. Na een omkering stelt het kompas dat de Zuidpool zich in het noorden bevindt. Dat is dus even omschakelen. En ook voor dieren die zich met behulp van het aardmagnetisch veld oriënteren op hun omgeving en route verandert alles. Maar ook dat hoeft geen probleem te zijn. Onthoud dat een omkering van het aardmagnetisch veld al snel duizenden jaren in beslag neemt. In die duizenden jaren kunnen onder meer vogels en walvissen zich van generatie op generatie aanpassen aan de verandering die gaande is.

Een omkering van de aardmagnetische polen behoort dus tot de mogelijkheden. Sterker nog: het zou gekker zijn als het niet gebeurde. Maar wanneer? Niemand die het weet. Gelukkig is het ook geen reden om ’s nachts wakker te liggen: de mensheid heeft wel eens voor hetere vuren gestaan.

De polen van de maan zijn in het verleden 200 kilometer verschoven

De polen van de maan zijn in het verleden 200 kilometer verschoven

  • Caroline Kraaijvanger
verschuiving.jpg?fit=1024%2C996

Hierdoor moet de maan er in het verleden vanaf de aarde bekeken ietsje anders uit hebben gezien, aldus onderzoekers.

Wetenschappers trekken die conclusie nadat ze waterstof op de polen van de maan bestudeerden. Het waterstof verbergt zich waarschijnlijk in de vorm van ijs in kraters rond de noord- en zuidpool van de maan. Dit ijs is waarschijnlijk miljarden jaren oud. Het ijs dat nu nog in de kraters schuilgaat, heeft zo lang stand kunnen houden, omdat het nooit aan zonlicht is blootgesteld. Maar stel nu dat je de maan een aantal graden draait. Dan wordt het ijs in die kraters wel aan zonlicht blootgesteld: het sublimeert (verdampt) en verdwijnt in de ruimte. Het ijs in deze kraters (of een gebrek aan ijs in kraters) kan dus meer vertellen over de oriëntatie van de maan en een eventuele verandering in deze oriëntatie.

Verandering
Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat de oriëntatie van de maan in het verleden inderdaad anders was. De as – de denkbeeldige paal die door het midden van de maan van noord naar zuid loopt en waar de maan omheen draait – is ongeveer 3 miljard jaar geleden zeker zes graden oftewel 200 kilometer verschoven. Waarschijnlijk gebeurde dat over een periode van één miljard jaar.

Hier zie je waar de noord- en zuidpool zich nu bevinden en waar deze zich in het verleden bevonden. Afbeelding: James Keane / University of Arizona.

De neus omhoog
“Dit was zo’n verrassende ontdekking,” stelt onderzoeker Matthew Siegler. “We zijn geneigd te denken dat objecten in de ruimte er altijd zo uit hebben gezien zoals we ze nu zien, maar in dit geval is het gezicht dat zo vertrouwd voor ons is – het gezicht op de maan – veranderd. Miljarden jaren geleden zorgde een opwarming van het binnenste van de maan ervoor dat het gezicht dat we zien naar boven bewoog naar mate de pool fysiek van positie veranderde. Je kunt het vergelijken met de as van de aarde die verschuift van Antarctica naar Australië. Door de beweging van de pool trok het gezicht op de maan zijn neus op naar de aarde.”

De maan maakt nu deel uit van een illuster gezelschap. Er zijn namelijk maar vrij weinig hemellichamen bekend wiens polen permanent zijn verschoven. Naast de polen van de maan, weten we dat ook de polen van de aarde, Mars, Enceladus (maan van Saturnus) en Europa (maan van Jupiter) zijn verschoven. Een verschuiving van de polen ontstaat door een verschuiving in de massa van een hemellichaam. In het geval van de maan werd dat alles ingegeven door vulkanisme. Vulkanisme zorgde ervoor dat een stukje van de mantel van de maan (een gebied dat we nu kennen als Procellarum) opwarmde. En omdat warme gesteenten minder zwaar zijn dan koude gesteenten, verschoof de massa van de maan. “Die verandering in massa zorgde ervoor dat Procellarum – en de hele maan – in beweging kwam.”

3D-Printed Rutherford Engine Qualifies For Space Flight

3D-Printed Rutherford Engine Qualifies For Space Flight

Illustration of the Electron rocket in orbit  

Illustration of the Electron rocket in orbit

The Electron's main engine just passed a flight qualification test.

Rocket Lab
IN BRIEF

A 3D printed rocket engine from Rocket Lab has qualified for flight. The engine will be flown during the Electron test program.

THE RUTHERFORD ENGINE

A video posted by the LA and New Zealand-based Rocket Lab shows the company’s new Rutherford engine surviving a 2 minute 40 second burn. After more than two years of extensive testing and more than two hundred engine hot fires, it qualifies for flight.

Finally.

This is a milestone for the 3D printing industry, as the Rutherford engine is the first of its kind made primarily out of 3D printed parts. It’s also notable that the engine uses battery-powered electric motors to power the propellant pumps. 

A CLEAN START

The Rocket Lab group hopes that, despite the engine’s small stature, it will be able to launch small satellites into orbit at a low cost. An Electron launch is expected to cost about $5 million, compared to SpaceX’s $60 million launches.

The company says the engine will first be flown during the Electron test program scheduled to run throughout the second half of 2016. The launch will be part of the development program for the Electron rocket, whose liftoff will be powered by 9 Rutherford engines.

“Rutherford started as a clean sheet of paper. Without the burden of heritage engines, we were able to make the most of today’s most advanced technologies in ways not attempted before,” said Rocket Lab Propulsion Lead Lachlan Matchett in a statement.

The next step in the process is scaling up production of the the engine for test and commercial launches.

Scientists Find Microbe Grows 60% Better in Space Than on Earth

Scientists Find Microbe Grows 60% Better in Space Than on Earth

Craig Venter
IN BRIEF

A citizen science project finds that the Bacillus safensis bacterium thrives in space, a discovery with important implications for space travel and theories for life’s ability to spread naturally to other worlds.

JUST HANGING OUT ON THE ISS

Bad news for germaphobic would-be astronauts—scientists have found that a certain strain of bacteria grows about 60% better on the International Space Station than on Earth.

The microbe in question, Bacillus safensis, actually has a long history of space travel. It was first discovered in NASA clean-room facilities in the late ‘90s, and may even have been a stowaway to the Red Planet on the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity in 2004.

The new findings were part of a citizen science experiment, called Project MERCCURI, in which scientists and members of the public collect microbial samples for transport to the International Space Station to determine how they would grow and develop in low-gravity conditions.

Of course, the ISS is hardly a hostile environment, so the fact that human beings or their microbial commensals would thrive there is not entirely surprising. After all, the old Russian MIR space station was practically crawling with fungi, molds, and bacteria.

“The warm, humid, oxygen-rich environment of the ISS is a far cry from the vacuum of space,” observes Dr. David Coil, of UC Davis, lead author of the research. He also points out that the real importance of the study is that of the 48 strains tested, most grew at normal, pedestrian Earth-rates, with no surprises whatsoever.

It is, however, slightly surprising that certain strains grow better off of planet Earth.

MICROBIAL SPACE TRAVEL

Rather than just a matter of idle curiosity, the study has implications for the future of space travel, and even touches upon larger questions of the origin and spread of life in the universe.

If humankind is really to begin the process of extending its civilization beyond the comforting ambit of our home planet, it’s important to understand not only how human physiology operates during prolonged periods in space, but also how our “microbiome” of parasites, bacteria, viruses and other clingers-on behave in the same environment.

As far as the theory of “panspermia,” the idea that planets can be seeded by dormant organisms from outer space, the discovery—while it says nothing conclusive—is another indication that life can certainly adapt to almost any conditions, including the harsh ones of space.

So just remember to pack hand sanitizer the next time you head to space.

(Matt Hinshaw/The Daily Courier)

PRESCOTT – Oh, yes, Virginia, there’s an Area 51. And secret military activities go on there.

No alien spacecraft are stored in its hangars, but the secrecy is more than enough to drive any number of conspiracy theories.

In a speech Wednesday night, March 16, at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Davis Learning Center, author, aerospace historian, and ERAU graduate Peter Merlin discussed the realities of the place called “Dreamland.”

Area 51, northwest of Las Vegas, on the edge of a dry lakebed in the Nevada desert, was originally a temporary facility intended to service the then-new U-2 spy plane.

Groom Lake was the reason the site was chosen; it reminded the men searching for a location of the dry lakebed used as a runway at Edwards Air Force base in California.

The small outpost was called “Paradise Ranch,” which Merlin said was intended to make the generally inhospitable place – workers were housed in travel trailers – sound more appealing.

Workers were shuttled between Lockheed’s headquarters and Area 51 by military transport airplanes every weekend, Merlin said.

Just as the base was losing the U-2 program, which was moved to California, and about to become a ghost town, the U.S. Air Force began to use the base for testing of Project Oxcart’s A-12, the predecessor to the Mach 3 SR-71 Blackbird surveillance aircraft.

By the mid-1960s, there were more than 1,800 workers at Dreamland, Merlin said.

One of the ideas developed there that did not pan out: an unmanned supersonic drone, the D-21, to be dropped from the Project Oxcart aircraft.

Merlin described the loss of an aircraft carrying the drone when the two collided, and one crewman was killed in the incident. “The tragic loss of an aircraft and a crewmember ended the use of the … launch aircraft, but it did not spell the end of the (drone),” Merlin said.

The D-21 program was moved to the B-52 heavy bomber in 1967, where it had an inauspicious first flight: it fell off the B-52 and slammed into the runway.

“It was on a fully-live booster (rocket), which was set to fire five seconds after it left the pylon, which it did,” Merlin said. It crashed into the desert.

Peter Merlin an aerospace historian, author, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University graduate talks about the history of the secret projects that took place at Area 51 Wednesday night March 16, 2016 during an installment of the ERAU Prescott Aviation History Program at ERAU. (Matt Hinshaw/The Daily Courier)

The project was canceled, after disappointing results, in 1971.

Dreamland was also home to projects creatively named HAVE DOUGHNUT, HAVE DRILL, and HAVE FERRY. These were tests of Soviet military aircraft, which not only demonstrated their capabilities, but mock dogfights allowed US pilots to develop tactics to combat them.

When the effort began to develop HAVE BLUE, a stealth fighter airplane that would become the F-117A, it happened at Area 51.

“So secret was its configuration, that every time HAVE BLUE was rolled out of its hangar, uncleared personnel on the base were sequestered to prevent them from seeing the aircraft,” Merlin said.

“Area 51’s secret nature has bred rumors and speculation among those who believe the government is hiding captured extraterrestrial spacecraft or even aliens at the site,” he said, but officials’ unwillingness to talk about the base and its purpose – even a 1974 Skylab photo of the base caused security headaches – only makes Area 51 a more enticing target for conspiracy theorists.

Sun Herald archives: South Mississippi has long history of UFO intrigue

Sun Herald archives: South Mississippi has long history of UFO intrigue

HIGHLIGHTS

  • A 'Coast celebrity' wrote about being abducted by aliens in 1973
  • Vicksburg UFO specialist says extraterrestrials can be spotted over Mississippi
  • Was a UFO spotted in Pass Christian in 2012?

DONNA HARRIS

The Sun Herald

Editors note: This story was originally published in March 2012.

We are not alone.

Look at the fuzzy video posted on YouTube that shows a colorful spinning orb hovering over the water just off the Pass Christian beach in February. It will make you wonder.

Or read various posts on extraterrestrial watchdog websites such as the Mutual UFO Network or UFO Casebook, that mention South Mississippi sightings.

Still not convinced we’ve been visited by aliens from outer space?

Read “UFO Contact in Pascagoula,” written by the late Charles Hickson.

Hickson, who died at 80 in 2011, became a Coast celebrity in 1973 after his claims of alien abduction were made public. In the 38 years after, he appeared on TV, spoke at UFO conferences, gave countless interviews, and co-wrote his book. He continued to watch the night skies until the end.

“He believed that one day they would come back. He wanted them to come back,” his daughter Tisha Hurd told the Sun Herald after his death.

But whether E.T. has actually phoned home from the Gulf Coast remains to be seen.

Neither Hancock County Sheriff Ricky Adam, Harrison County Sheriff Melvin Brisolara nor Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd can find reports in the last 12 months of anyone seeing UFOs, although Adam said some on his staff reported the occasional Facebook post by acquaintances that mentioned seeing “something” in the sky.

However, a Vicksburg UFO expert thinks extraterrestrials can be spotted regularly over Mississippi.

Just last week, graphic designer Robert Hood, a 43-year-old husband and father, admits seeing “a nice, bright light in the sky.”

The co-founder of Delta Paranormal Project said an orange star-like entity hovered for a while, then it moved, got dim, then bright, then “suddenly, it just disappeared.”

Hood classifies the sightings into two areas, the unidentified flying objects and the extraterrestrial vehicles.

Anyone can see a UFO, which usually turns out to be an airplane or some other man-made aircraft. It’s the ETVs that are more unusual, and much harder to document or explain, he said.

Still, he believes ETVs are easier to spot in South Mississippi, where the land mass borders the Gulf of Mexico. The Coast offers few obstructions and a clear view of the sky, he said.

He thinks many people have probably seen UFOs and even ETVs, but are unlikely to make a report for fear of ridicule.

“You mention anything about aliens to anybody and it’s an instant, ‘You’re crazy,’” he said.

For those who plan to go public with their sighting, Hood recommends still images and video confirmation. Turn off the auto focus on the camera and keep it steady, he said. It also helps to have additional witnesses for validation.

He is adamant humans are not alone in the universe.

“It would be kind of crazy to look up and say that there is no other life besides ourselves,” he said.

A grainy video posted Feb. 12 on YouTube by someone called UFOParanomalRadio shows a bright light in the sky, supposedly along U.S. 90 in Pass Christian.

The videographer captures the image for almost four minutes before it disappears from view.

“It’s cool looking, whatever it is,” a man’s voice says. “It’s lit up like a Christmas tree.”

He says on the video that the image, which appears as both a spinning orb of light and two blurry, bright lights, is “just sitting there, hovering over the Gulf of Mexico.”

While trying to sharpen the focus, the shooter watches the light disappear into the water.

“It’s completely gone, nowhere to be found,” he can be heard saying.

Pass Christian Deputy Chief James Stewart said police logs do not show anyone making a report of an unidentified object any time that week.

Pascagoula police Lt. Shannon Massey also checked records for the past year, but could find no reports of UFO sightings.

On about.com, however, UFO expert Billy Booth posted about a sighting of a blinking light reported Sept. 22 that hovered for a while, then flew upward and disappeared in the Jackson County sky.

Hood said Pascagoula could be a hotbed for UFO traffic.

It’s where Hickson believes he was abducted in 1973, and it’s close to Gautier, where a UFO was spotted hovering over Hickson home by neighbors years later.

Booth lists 10 Mississippi sightings on his UFO Casebook website, from 1967 in Meridian to Nov. 16 in Oxford, where a mother and daughter told him they saw a cylindrical object hover over the tree tops along U.S. 278.

Among the cases listed is Mike Cataldo, a retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer interviewed by former Mississippi Press reporter Natalie Chambers in 2001.

Cataldo said he and some friends saw a tambourine-shaped object lined in blinking lights, spinning in the sky between Pascagoula and Gautier in 1973, just three days after Hickson’s alleged encounter.

Cataldo says in the case file he saw it again as he traveled west on U.S. 90 in Ocean Springs.

“I think he saw something,” Chambers told the Sun Herald. “He didn’t appear to be fearful, he was just talking about the lights. He was very sure that what he saw was a UFO.”

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate?

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate?

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate? Illustration: Sam Woolley

Today while the political world is fixated on a salacious tabloid story about Ted Cruz, eccentric news site operator Matt Drudge is concerned about aliens. He’s not the only one.

“They can bullshit me all they want but I’m not going to play the government’s game,” Stephen Bassett, Capitol Hill’s only registered extraterrestrial lobbyist, tells me. “This isn’t about ‘UFOs.’ The government uses that acronym in order to prevent disclosure,” he says. “‘Extraterrestrial craft’ is the proper term.”

Bassett is, as you might imagine, passionate on the subject—perhaps too much so. He told me that the acronym “UFO” itself is a slur used to “ghettoize” those who seek the truth, and compared it to racial slurs—specific ones, in fact, which he was not shy about using. Considering how many of his fellow truth-seekers use the term, it’s hard to avoid entirely.

“Since November, more political coverage has taken place on this subject than it has in 60 something years,” Bassett says. Since 1996, he has been waging war for the public’s right to know what information the government has about aliens and he thinks the time is nigh. “There is a very good chance that the truth embargo will collapse later this year, Hillary Clinton will be the one to push it and President Obama will have to address the issue!”

In case it doesn’t happen until the next president takes office, who among our top presidential candidates is the most UFO-friendly? Are there any extraterrestrial experts willing to rank them on a scale of 1-10?

“This will be easy,” writes certified UFO investigator—and 2014 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence winner for his Roswell UFO Tours—Dennis Balthaser, in an email to Gawker. “Every President since Truman, when the Roswell Incident happened in 1947, has tried to open the UFO Files and none have been able to. Don’t expect any of the current candidates to do it either. The President is a temporary employee (8 years max), they don’t have the security clearance or need to know. To answer your question on a scale of 1-10, I’d say 1.”

Everyone starts at 1.

Donald Trump

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate?Photo: Getty

What the candidate said: Trump has remained (suspiciously) silent about aliens from outer space, but he’s the only candidate that was reportedly followed by an unidentified flying object in his own private jet. Sharp-eyed truth seekers have claimed to have seen his effigy in photos taken by the Mars rover. How do you explain THIS?! There is something going on with him that we don’t know about. We don’t know. We’re just saying.

Record on government transparency: Trump has never held office and has generally talked more about his dong than policy specifics. As a figurehead of the “birther” movement, he demanded the public be given President Obama’s birth certificate. The birth certificate was provided; Trump wasn’t satisfied; he doesn’t talk about it anymore.

Extraterrestrial disclosure friendliness: Based on his silence on the issue and his record of ‘seeking the truth’ then subsequently abandoning it, the Donald gets the lowest score.

1/10

Bernie Sanders

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate? Photo: Getty

What the candidate said: “I am not aware of Sanders or any of the Republican candidates even mentioning UFOs, much less having any serious intention of getting to the bottom of the mystery,” says UFOlogist Dr. Thomas E. Bullard says via email. There is one mention of Bernie Sanders commenting on the aliens, via Conway Daily Sun’s Daymond Steer. Steer is quoted by Grant Cameron (full-time researcher of “the UFO mystery”) on his blog:

“After admitting that he is in fact, the same person as ‘Seinfeld” creator Larry David (who played him on ‘Saturday Night Live’) Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was asked if he believed that extraterrestrials may have visited the Earth, Sanders said, ‘I have met many. I see them in Washington all the time.’”

Steer broke Hillary Clinton’s position on aliens last year, but, suspiciously, this account of talking to Bernie Sanders doesn’t appear anywhere outside of Cameron’s blog. We asked him. In an email, Steer confirmed that this actually happened. He also says he didn’t realize he was on record when he was relating the Bernie encounter to Cameron over Facebook.

Record on government transparency: GovTrack.us ranks Sanders among the top 50% of Senate Committee Chairs for sponsoring or co-sponsoring 3 of the 19 bills relating to increased government transparency that came up in the senate during the latest session. In 2015, he re-introduced the Federal Reserve Transparency Act. He’s the only top candidate who opposed the Patriot Act in 2001 and believes that Edward Snowden “played a very important role in educating the American people to the degree in which our civil liberties and our constitutional rights are being undermined.”

Extraterrestrial disclosure friendliness: Bernie is sick and tired of hearing about your damn flying saucers. What do little green men have to do with the skyrocketing level of income and wealth inequality that’s not only grotesque and immoral, but economically unsustainable? Sanders will probably not be giving this issue any time unless aliens are funneling all corporate profits to the top 1%. He gets an extra point for his record on government transparency.

2/10

Ted Cruz

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate? Photo: Getty

What the candidate said: According to Steer’s now verified account, Cruz “was surprised at Hillary’s involvement with the UFO story while First Lady” and “stated he might check into Area 51 if elected President.”

Record on government transparency: At GovTrack.us, Cruz is tied for the lowest score on government transparency among Senate sophomores by sponsoring none of 19 recent bills relating to government transparency.

Extraterrestrial disclosure friendliness: Cruz is the kind of guy who could have first-hand experience with aliens and not give a shit unless there was some way to use it against one of his rivals. So if there’s an opportunity to drag Hillary into an investigation over it then yeah, he’ll move mountains to tell people what’s up at Area 51. We can’t say for sure that there are any liberals who would be harmed by those disclosures, we’ll split it at 5/10 and doc one point because Cruz hasn’t shown any interest in government transparency in the past. But he’s so unbelievably hated across all party lines that truth seekers should probably ask themselves whether they even want to hear the news if it’s coming from him.

4/10

John Kasich

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate? Photo: Getty

What the candidate has said: According to Steer’s account, Kasich “does not believe.” But Kasich threw in a caveat, saying, “My brother-in-law says if I become president, his No. 1 thing is for me to open all books on Area 51.” On the phone, Kasich’s press secretary Joe Andrews could neither confirm or deny the existence of this brother-in-law and said he’d get back to us. We’ll update the post if he does.

Record on government transparency: As Governor of Ohio, Kasich has come under fire for his administration’s lack of transparency and weakening of transparency laws. He called Edward Snowden a “traitor” and he believes that programs instituted under the Patriot Act should continue. Minus 1 point.

Extraterrestrial disclosure friendliness: Like all things Kasich, his position is somewhere in the middle and is decidedly uninspiring.

4/10

Hillary Clinton

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate? Photo: Getty

What the candidate has said: “I’m going to get to the bottom of it,” Clinton told Steer in the now infamous comment to Conway Daily Sun at the end of 2015. “I think we may have been (visited already). We don’t know for sure.” Clinton says that her campaign chairman John Podesta has made her “personally pledge we are going to get the information out… One way or another. Maybe we could have, like, a task force to go to Area 51.”

CNN characterized her remarks as a joke, but extraterrestrial lobbyist Stephen Bassett tells me he’s certain she was sincere. He says that all politicians have to lie to get elected but in this case, “It’s an extremely risky statement and it could only cause her trouble.” Furthermore, Podesta is a known disclosure enthusiast. And X-Files fan.

And then, on Jimmy Kimmel last night, to Drudge’s delight, Clinton said: “I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that public as possible. If there’s nothing there, let’s tell people there’s nothing there.” And if there is something there? “Well, if there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public.” She even specified that. “It’s ‘unexplained aerial phenomenon.’ U.A.P. that’s the latest nomenclature.”

Record on government transparency: Hahahaha. In addition to using a private server for her government emails, Clinton also voted to authorize the Patriot Act in 2001 and re-authorize it in 2006 and she has condemned Edward Snowden as a criminal who should be prosecuted. The list goes on. 

Extraterrestrial disclosure friendliness: “Of all the candidates I would consider Clinton the most ‘UFO friendly,’” confirms UFOlogist Dr. Thomas E. Bullard says via email. “The others seem pretty much blanks… She has shown some interest in the subject and has discussed it with Rockefeller” (Clinton met with Laurance S. Rockefeller about the Rockefeller UFO Initiative in 1995) “and Podesta. So, at least, it is not nonsense or—dare I say—‘alien’ to her.” But he’s not too excited about it: “Air Force, CIA, and NSA files have been released in considerable numbers over the past several decades, but the answers are never the ones UFOlogists want. Of course, [the UFOlogists] would not be satisfied until the government coughed up the Roswell wreckage and alien bodies.” That might be difficult. UFO researcher/Roswell tour guide Dennis Balthaser says, “Hillary will not get into Area 51 either. I’ve been there and the security is like none other on the planet.”

Clinton is the clear frontrunner here. Even extraterrestrial lobbyist Stephen Bassett says tells us every other candidate is “irrelevant, won’t touch it or is ignorant” on the issue. But her record on government transparency raises some questions. We’re going to knock off two points, one for each of her email accounts. And despite her recent “unless it’s a threat to national security” caveat, she’s still on top.

8/10

Andrew D. Basiago and Ed Baker

Who's the Most UFO-Friendly Presidential Candidate?If you want someone who considers extraterrestrial disclosure to be a top priority, meet independent candidates Andrew D. Basiago and Ed Baker.

What the candidates have said: Basiago wants to see government transparency on “UFOs,” atomic weapons, the Moon landing and protection of the Sasquatch as an endangered species. Among the 100 proposals that Basiago lists on his website, he also wants all living presidents to admit that they were told about their impending presidencies beforehand. He believes that the government has had time travel capabilities for years and future presidents are always informed that they will be elected, a belief that does not bode well for Basiago’s prospects in November.

Baker may appeal to a more conservative voter. Along with “full disclosure of UFOs,” his platform/goals include “support of the Confederate Flag,” “deport illegal aliens,” “punish the bad guys.” Although he does list one of his goals as just “taxes,” without any further explanation, so that one could go either way.

Record on government transparency: While neither candidate has held elected office, Baker does have a record of sorts. His official site features a breakdown of his criminal history and how he has overcome it.

UFOs in Western and Northern NY

UFOs in Western and Northern NY

Cheryl Costa
ByCheryl Costa

Columnist Cheryl Costa explores the nature of the counties in the 27th & 21st Congressional District

For residents of western and northern New York, it came as no surprise that its Congressional Districts were hot beds of UFO activity.

In last week’s article, I shared New York’s UFO sighting numbers sorted by Congressional Districts. The response was positive and supportive.

What intrigued me was that many local people grew up in some of the top UFO districts. The question they all universally asked was: What was the UFO distribution in my district?

Two folks from western New York and the 27th district specifically said to me, “Hey, Cheryl. The UFOs had to be in Erie County!”

Several people from the told me that in their opinion, the border county of Saint Lawrence had to be tops for sightings. Naturally, I was interested in what former locals from those areas had to say.

NY-27st-district-ccosta

The top District for UFO sightings in New York is the 27th district. Anyone from that region can tell you that Erie County is the heavy hitter for sightings. In fact, Lake Erie is known in UFO circles for having large numbers of UFO sightings that have been dubbed the Lake Erie Effect. Also in the immediate region is Niagara County, known for sightings associated with the Lake Erie effect. The entire Niagara frontier has been a hot bed for UFO activity dating back to the 19th century. The earliest UFO sighting on record for the region is from November 1833, when a large cube-shaped UFO hovered over Niagara Falls for many hours and was seen by both Americans and Canadians.

Now in northern New York, the 21st district has a different situation. The top county is Saratoga, which is in the eastern part of the state, just north of Albany. The Capitol region is also one of New York’s hot spots.

The second heavy hitter county in the 21st district is Saint Lawrence. This county borders Canada and the Saint Lawrence Seaway. One of the earliest recorded UFO sightings in Saint Lawrence County was in July of 1884 in the village of Norwood. Residents there observed a “Saturn-shaped” object that hovered and cruised over the region before departing. UFO sightings along American and Canadian border are historically numerous and noteworthy.

Next week, we’ll look at other top New York UFO sighting hot spots in other Congressional districts.

Very Eerie: Female Soviet Astronaut Made Recordings In Space Right Before She Died (Video)

Very Eerie: Female Soviet Astronaut Made Recordings In Space Right Before She Died (Video)

(Before It's News)

It is safe to say that being an astronaut and travelling to space is not for the weak. Just think, those astronauts are up there alone for an extended amount of time. Think of all of the things that could go wrong. After all, not all space missions were perfect and glitch-free.

There was a very bizarre accident that no one can explain, even to this day. It involves one Soviet cosmonaut’s last moments in space during the beginning of the Space Race, between the United States and the USSR.

Many remember when the first trip into orbit was successful and when the first man walked the moon. On April 12, 1961, Russia was successful on sending the first human being into Earth’s orbit. The pilot, Yuri Gagarin, manned the Vostok capsule. The United States then followed in Russia’s footsteps a month later and sent their own astronaut, Alan Shepard, on a sub-orbital mission during the Mercury space program. Sensing this was a competition, Russia was prepared to send another man up to space. However, this time they would be sending him into multiple orbits, beating Gagarin’s record.

The story is that the Soviets had planned to launch the mission before the Americans could send up a second astronaut to circle the Earth. American John Glenn would finally achieve that mission on February 20, 1962. However, the next manned Vostok orbital launch would happen on May 16, 1961. The capsule ended up achieving 17 circuits around the Earth.

Although the Russians had already topped the Americans by achieving the 17 circuits around Earth, they decided to top one more thing: sending the first woman into space.

During the mission everything seemed to be going well. However, before the woman could re-enter the atmosphere, something went terribly wrong. Whatever happened next is unexplained and no one knows what happened for sure. It will send chills through anyone reading these records.

Although these records are not exactly proven to be accurate, the story goes that by the time re-entry was attempted, it had been a full week. By that point the ship’s oxygen supplies were running low and were nearly depleted. There was one conversation recorded before the woman suddenly disappeared from the radio. The woman ended up calling into the radio (translated of course):

“listen… listen! come in! come in… come in… talk to me! talk to me! I am hot… I am hot! what? forty- five? what? forty-five? fifty? yes… yes… breathing… breathing… oxygen… oxygen… I am hot… isn’t this dangerous? it’s all… yes… how is this? what? talk to me! how should I transmit? yes… what? our transmission begins now… forty-one… this way… yes… I feel hot… I feel hot… it’s all… it’s hot… I feel hot… I can see a flame… I can see a flame! I feel hot… I feel hot… thirty-two… thirty-two… forty-one… am I going to crash? yes… yes… I feel hot… I feel hot! I will re-enter…”

It appears that the re-entry was not going well. It seemed that the ship was gaining too much heat as the poor woman was slowly being burned alive by the increasing temperatures. She also begins to get emotional towards the end, knowing that her fate would be coming soon.

The brothers claimed to have recorded messages from secret missions during the Soviet Vostok program in the early 1960s.

After that last recording, the radio fell silent; nothing was heard from the woman. Three days later on May 26, 1961 the Soviets announced that the ship had made it back to Earth. The ship had been severely burned with no woman inside. The satellite was about the size of a bus and its launch had never been disclosed. To this day, the Russian government denies that a tragedy ever happened. They keep passing off the radio recordings as the media trying to get attention. It is said that the Russians have several recordings from lost astronauts over the years. Like the case of this woman, they continue to deny that those people were ever up in space.

What would it take to put an astronaut on Mars?

What would it take to put an astronaut on Mars? 

MarsImage copyrightThinkstockImage captionWhen might we be able to send the first manned missions to Mars?

A joint European and Russian space mission - the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) - has left for Mars to study methane and other rare gases in the Red Planet's atmosphere, and drop a lander on its surface.

The TGO is expected to take seven months to travel the 500 million km (310 million miles) to Mars, and then almost another year to manoeuvre itself into position, meaning the satellite's observations will not properly start until late 2017.

What does this mean for plans to put an astronaut on Mars?

In 2010 President Obama tasked the US space Agency Nasa with the goal of putting an astronaut in Martian orbit, and later on to the planet itself.

But the challenges - technical, political and financial - are enormous. A recentreport from the US Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel raised safety concerns about the proposed transportation spacecraft and criticised Nasa for a lack of detail in its overall Mars plans.

Four experts - including two senior figures from Nasa - talk to the BBC Inquiry programme about what it would take to put a man on Mars.

Bill Hill: Getting there

Bill Hill is deputy associate administrator of the Exploration Systems Development division at Nasa. He oversees the Orion spacecraft and the Space Launch System.

"Keeping the weight down of the vehicle, the spacecraft, that's our key focus. The bigger you make the rocket, the more mass you have to lift off the surface of the Earth.

"Say you want to go for 500 days - you're going to have to take food, water for the crew to consume and use for hygiene, all the air, so it just multiplies the amount of weight that you have to lift off the Earth's surface.

"That's where the Space Launch System - the heavy lift launch vehicle - will come in. Where the Saturn V basically took up an Apollo capsule and a lander for going to the lunar surface, we're looking at 130 metric tonne lift capability that can put somewhere between 40 to 50 metric tonnes out past the low Earth orbit. It's a capability that, frankly, nobody else has today.

NASA's Orion spacecraft launches an unmanned test flight Image copyrightGetty ImagesImage captionOrion successfully completed its maiden, unmanned voyage in December 2014

"The crew spacecraft Orion can actually be used for up to about 1,000 days, and that's how we're designing the systems inside - the environmental control systems and life support systems to support a crew of four initially for up to 1,000 days. It'll have basic benches, crew interfaces, flat screen monitors, a toilet and some hygiene capability. It's basically for transportation, not necessarily to live in for the full duration to go to Mars and back.

"We would use a module, a habitat portion, for where the crew would live and work on a daily basis, [with] a much larger volume. That is going to need areas to store food, tanks to store oxygen and water. Our goal is to have some sort of closed loop system for life support where we will pull water out of the air, regenerate carbon dioxide into oxygen, and do similar things like we're doing on the space station today where we have a urine processor and reclaim the water for drinking.

"We'll probably not use it to enter the Martian atmosphere because then we'd have to figure out a way to connect it to something to lift it off the surface and bring it back. But we need the heavy lift launch vehicle and the crew spacecraft; using those two fundamental cornerstones as our initial capabilities to actually go out and explore."

Samantha Cristoforetti: Learning to survive in space

Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti has spent longer in space on a single mission than any other woman, returning to Earth last June after 200 days. Her experience - and that of Scott Kelly who has just returned after 340 days in space - is vital to understanding the potential impact of a lengthy voyage to Mars.

"You lose muscle, because you're not using your muscles that much. But you also lose bone mass, because bone is actually a living tissue. All the time we have bone cells that die, and are replaced by new, fresh bone cells. In a healthy person, that is in balance, so that you always keep your overall bone mass.

"But what happens in space is because you don't have that mechanical load on the bones, you destroy a lot more bone cells than you've actually built.

Astronaut Samantha CristoforettiImage copyrightGetty ImagesImage captionAstronaut Samantha Cristoforetti's extended stay on the International Space Station provides useful data on the effects of orbit

What would it take to put a man on Mars?

"We try to induce some load on our muscles and bones by working out for about two hours every day. Believe it or not, we can do weightlifting in weightlessness. We have a really cool machine which is based on vacuum cylinders, and it allows you to do things like squats, dead lifts and bench presses.

"As soon as you get to space, fluids shift from the lower parts of your body towards the upper parts. Visually you can sometimes see it on astronauts, because they have what we call a puffy face and skinny legs, and that's really due to this fluid redistribution, because there is no gravity pulling the fluids towards the leg like it is on the ground when you're standing.

"We don't know everything quite yet. Quite a number of astronauts actually lose a little bit of eyesight when they are in space for a long time, and that might be related to an increased pressure in the head due to that bodily shift.

"In the Space Station we're still in an area close to Earth, which is protected from damaging radiation coming from outer space. Once you leave that protected environment, then you are much more exposed to dangerous radiations. So we will definitely have to come up with a good, solid plan on how to protect our crew on the way to the Moon or on the way to Mars.

"We are not really very isolated on the Space Station - we're in continuous contact with the ground. You can basically communicate in real time. We get the news. We even get to have video conferences with our families, which is all wonderful, but only a fraction of that I think would be possible if you went on a journey to Mars."

Jason Crusan: Working in deep space

Jason Crusan is the director of the Advanced Exploration Systems division at Nasa.

"What would they breathe? We would actually bring oxygen with us. Mars atmosphere has a lot of CO2 in its atmosphere so we can remove the oxygen out of it to create breathable air. Initially we'll bring a lot of the gases with us that we need to do that but over time we'll actually bring machinery with us to actually separate out from the atmosphere breathable oxygen.

Mars satellite hints at liquid water - BBC News

Nasa scientists believe that dark stripes on Mars are caused by trickling water. Data from one of the US space agency's satellites shows the features, which appear on slopes, to be associated with salt deposits. Such salts could alter the freezing and vaporisation points of water, keeping it in a fluid state long enough to move.

https://youtu.be/l2p3SBIvp18

"When we first started, we didn't believe there was any water on Mars. It's a bit of a joke now because we've discovered there's a significant amount of water on the planet, and we would look at the ability to capture water from the surface of Mars and process it and use it, much like you would here.

"Food is a challenging area. We obviously fly all of our food into space today, we don't grow anything on orbit besides experiments. Food has a shelf life; bringing our own food reduces its nutritional value and we're talking about missions that are maybe a year to three years in duration. So we are looking at how we grow not our primary food sources, but food to augment the food that we bring with us.

"Near the Equator you would see temperatures that are kind of similar to a spring day here on Earth, but then you'd have night temperatures that would actually be quite extreme, going to minus 100F. The temperatures are extremely challenging, and so you always have to live within a spacesuit or some kind of rover or habitat while you're there.

"One of the best radiation shields is water, so that will be stored in key areas in order to provide shielding within the structures themselves. [We would] eventually have radiation sensors in orbit, monitoring for radiation events so that we can give a warning to the crew before a significant event so they can go into a sheltered area.

"The large dust storms that you see in [films] would not have the effect that you see in Hollywood, because the atmosphere is relatively thin. Even what would look like a hurricane force doesn't have the force to do significant damage to your habitat, but there'll be challenges if you're outside in it because your ability to see from all the dust will be impaired.

"I think logistics will be the biggest challenge. If something breaks, you're a long way from home to get a spare. Our entire experience in space to date has been an orbit around Earth or to the Moon, relatively close distances. In the space station today if something breaks you can send a replacement part.

"When we go to Mars, we have to take everything that you'd ever expect to break, and even those things we wouldn't expect to break."

Dr Jill Stuart: Political will

Dr Jill Stuart is editor-in-chief of the Elsevier Journal of Space Policy.

"There's the question of who has the money to do this, where will it come from, and what will their incentives be?

"I like the narrative of [the Moon landings] being about science and the frontier of human kind, but in reality, I would argue politics was very much behind it. It's very expensive, so in order to go into outer space, to have a manned space programme, you need to have political clout, the backing of your population.

"During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States were competing with each other in the space race, and outer space was a proxy arena for them to compete in a way that didn't actually require military conflict.

"I don't think the space race analogy would apply so clearly now - it's a different environment.

What would it take to put a man on Mars?

"The US space programme is subject to political administrations; Americans like the idea of space exploration but there's not an obvious constituency for it in terms of voting, so it tends to get tacked on later on in an individual president's term, so it's difficult to say whether or not these plans for Mars will outlast multiple administrations.

"But if it does then I think that they are the most likely to have the next manned mission, and would probably involve junior partners who are political allies in order to shore up those alliances, and also to have the financial support.

"They would probably also partner with commercial entities such as Space-X or Blue Origin - new companies that are government-backed but private - and are providing a lot of the space infrastructure to get there.

"There are discussions amongst politicians and scientists and the commercial industry so I think it's definitely the next big prize. I do think it will happen, but I think the timeline will probably be longer than is being talked about right now. I'm going to say 2045."

Scientists confirm: Advanced alien civilizations possible in 50 galaxies

Scientists confirm: Advanced alien civilizations possible in 50 galaxies

Just imagine the possibilities out there.

Just imagine the possibilities out there.

Leading Astronomers and Scientists have stated that Advanced alien life is possible in 50 galaxies,, after finding they are emitting unusually high levels of radiation. A team of scientists at Penn State University in the US, has been studying observations from Nasa’s WISE orbiting observatory looking for traces of the huge energy produced by technologies from sophisticated extra-terrestrial races.

Just as Planet Earth sends heat and light deep out into space, researchers say a similar signature would be emitted by other advanced civilisations. And after scouring 100,000 galaxies they have come across 50 which hold promise.
“We found about 50 galaxies that have unusually high levels of mid-infrared radiation,” said Roger Griffith, a researcher at Penn State and the lead author of the paper
“Our follow-up studies of those galaxies may reveal if the origin of their radiation results from natural astronomical processes, or if it could indicate the presence of a highly advanced civilization.”

After scouring 100,000 galaxies they have come across at least 50 which hold promise. “We found about 50 galaxies that have unusually high levels of mid-infrared radiation,” said Roger Griffith, a researcher at Penn State and the lead author of the paper.

“Our follow-up studies of those galaxies may reveal if the origin of their radiation results from natural astronomical processes, or if it could indicate the presence of a highly advanced civilization.” Roger Griffith, a researcher at Penn State

Theoretical physicist Freeman Dyson originally proposed in the 1960s that advanced alien civilizations beyond Earth could be detected by the tell tale evidence of their mid-infrared emissions. It was not until space-based telescopes like the WISE satellite that it became possible to make sensitive measurements of this radiation emitted by objects in space.

“The idea behind our research is that, if an entire galaxy had been colonized by an advanced spacefaring civilization, the energy produced by that civilization’s technologies would be detectable in mid-infrared wavelengths — exactly the radiation that the WISE satellite was designed to detect for other astronomical purposes,” said Dr Jason Wright, an assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds at Penn State University, who conceived of and initiated the research.

“Whether an advanced spacefaring civilization uses the large amounts of energy from its galaxy’s stars to power computers, space flight, communication, or something we can’t yet imagine, fundamental thermodynamics tells us that this energy must be radiated away as heat in the mid-infrared wavelengths.

“This same basic physics causes your computer to radiate heat while it is turned on.

“As we look more carefully at the light from these galaxies,” said Wright, “we should be able to push our sensitivity to alien technology down to much lower levels, and to better distinguish heat resulting from natural astronomical sources from heat produced by advanced technologies. This pilot study is just the beginning.”

Could there be civilisations in our next door neighbour Galaxy 'Andromeda

Could there be civilisations in our next door neighbour Galaxy ‘Andromeda

The team also found new phenomenon in our very own galaxy, The Milky Way. Among the exciting discoveries are a bright nebula around the nearby star 48 Librae, and a cluster of objects easily detected by WISE in a patch of sky that appears totally black when viewed with telescopes that detect only visible light.

“This cluster is probably a group of very young stars forming inside a previously undiscovered molecular cloud, and the 48 Librae nebula apparently is due to a huge cloud of dust around the star, but both deserve much more careful study,” Matthew Povich, an assistant professor of astronomy at Cal Poly Pomona said.

The research team’s first paper about its Glimpsing Heat from Alien Technologies Survey (G-HAT), is published in the Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series.

Perhaps we are looking for where our Alien Visitor’s are travelling from….

U.I.P Summary

Come on let’s get real the Universe is infested with life out there and we can not rely too much on our present day technology to search out other civilizations…..because let’s be honest even the scientists have stated recently that they don’t really know much about anything in reference to space the final Frontier!

This is an exciting discovery and who knows what advanced civilizations lie out there in an infinite Universe!

But one things for sure, if Aliens out there are far more advanced than us then they WILL know where we are in space and probably have for a very long time!

Perhaps we are like a sight seeing holiday for Aliens out there?!

The Mysterious Object Which Will Pass Earth in 2017 – Scientists Left Confused

The Mysterious Object Which Will Pass Earth in 2017 – Scientists Left Confused

A mysterious unknown object, that many researchers claim is an ‘alien probe’, is set to fly past Earth in 2017. The strange object which is now known as 1991 VG, was first spotted way back in November 1991 by astronomer James Scotti at the University of Arizona.

It has baffled and confused top astronomers ever since, because of its very strange and unique rotation and longevity in space.  Some leading experts suggest it may be a section of the Apollo 12 rocket, but Scotti claims the timings don’t add up and has instantly dismissed this as a ridiculous idea designed to cover up the reality of the situation!

A mysterious object, that conspiracy theorists claim is an ‘alien probe’, is set to fly past Earth in 2017. Known as 1991 VG, the object was first spotted in November 1991 by astronomer James Scotti at the University of Arizona. It has baffled astronomers ever since because of its strange rotation and longevity in space

‘We looked into all the possibilities for it being man-made,’ Scotti told Motherboard. ‘There were a few possible spacecraft and rocket bodies that might be 1991 VG.’

‘But when we looked into each, we were able to eliminate each of them.’

Many others argue it may be some kind of a top secret rocket that the Soviets or American sent into orbit, well hidden from the rest of the world.

When Scotti first spotted this mysterious strange object which is now called 1991 VG, it was about 10 metres in diameter, passing 280,000 miles from Earth – around 50,000 miles further than the Earth and the moon.

This strange object showed an unusual rapid rate of rotation and its brightness appeared to fluctuate. This behaviour, has not ever been seen before from any asteroid of its size – This mysterious object also had an orbit that was strikingly similar to that of Earth.

Once data was gathered on 1991 VG, Scotti realised this was the second time the unidentified object had passed Earth. The first was March of 1975.

Perhaps this strange object IS in fact an Alien probe sent from the darkest reaches of space!?

Incoming unknown object

Incoming unknown object

In the incredibly in-depth report, Motherboard notes that Duncan Steel, an astronomer at University of Adelaide, suggested it might be an ‘alien probe observed in the vicinity of our planet.’

The intriguing thing here is that Asteroids do NOT tend to survive long enough, or remain on the same orbit, to pass Earth in the same spot twice.

An artists Impression of this unknown potential Alien probe

Steel only suggested the theory in order to disprove it. He has since told Motherboard that he doesn’t think VG 1991 is of extra-terrestrial origin, however on the flip side of this it could also quite possibly be so!

Many truth seekers around the world are excited about this discovery and believe this could be a huge ‘incoming’ piece of disclosure in 2017, citing Steele’s work as their source piece of evidence.

When it does fly past Earth sometime in the summer of 2017, it will only be seen in the southern hemisphere.

Since Scotti first spotted VG 1991, astronomers have discovered that asteroids under 100 meters have remarkably fast rotations.

As a result Scotti says we can’t rule out the possibility that VG 1991 is a natural space rock.

‘One possibility would be that it is ejecta from a lunar impact,’ he told Motherboard.

‘Another possibility is that the Yarkovsky force, caused by the thermal emissions of a rotating object, systematically pushed the object around over long times. It’s still a puzzle.’ Said Scotti.

As yet there is NO way of confirming what this unknown object is until it gets closer to planet earth, but in the meantime we will have to keep guessing.

U.I.P SUMMARY – Well here is yet another story that the media try to keep rather quiet about! And it is not a surprise that this is being kept silent as there as yet is NO 100% explanation as to what this mysterious object could actually be.

If this story seems far fetched then it really isn’t as we have sent out our very own probe like crafts, like the Voyager 1 which was launched out in space in 1977 and now MANY millions and millions of miles away from earth – whose to say that some far advanced alien civilisation didn’t send out this potential probe way before the human race ever existed!?

The Universe is infested with life, so it will be interesting to see whether this is an alien probe or something else.

Hillary Pledges to Dig Into UFO Files

Hillary Pledges to Dig Into UFO Files

And to release them to the public.

The top Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, wants to dig into the UFO files. Clinton made the revelation in an interview last night with Jimmy Kimmel.

"I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that public as possible," Clinton told Kimmel. "If there's nothing there, let's tell people there's nothing there."

Clinton says the findings of the UFO files should be released. "If there is something there, unless it's a threat to national security, I think we ought to share it with the public."

This Ancient Map Will Challenge Everything You’ve Been Told About the Past

This Ancient Map Will Challenge Everything You’ve Been Told About the Past

This Ancient Map Will Challenge Everything You’ve Been Told About the Past

Humanity’s history is extremely puzzling. On one hand, we have at our disposal only a small portion of knowledge from the past, most of it being destroyed or questionable in the light of new discoveries. On the other hand, the pre-existing information seems to challenge our way of thinking and make us doubt that what has been proposed as reality so far may in fact be distorted or not entirely true.
 
We live in a world with plenty of unexplained discoveries. From ancient texts depicting alternative historic events, to ancient structures, bizarre rituals and natural phenomenon that defy the human logic and pass in the unexplained section. Humanity appears to have amnesia, gathering bits of the past in the hopes of one day discovering the truth from the bigger picture, but so far we have no higher entity to confirm or explain the entire journey we followed on this planet.
 
The enigmatic Piri Reis map is an ancient document which clearly challenges today’s scientific doctrine. This piece of knowledge is an authentic document that was put together at Constantinople in AD 1513 by the military intelligence of Admiral Piri Reis of the Ottoman Empire, a renowned historical figure accounted by numerous historical records.
 
 
The map highlights the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. The Ottoman Admiral kept a copy of it, and the original, which was discovered in 1929, is comprised of various documents dating back to at least the fourth century BC, plus information gathered my multiple explorers. So, what’s so challenging about this map?
 
More than one thing, that’s for certain. But, probably the most amazing fact is that it incorporates a continent considered by our history books to have been discovered only in 1818 – Antarctica.
 
Equally intriguing is the fact that the Piri Reis map depicts a 2.7 million-square-miles region in the Antarctic known as the ‘Queen Maud Land,’ and in accordance to modern science the highlighted area should be millions of years old since the ice sheet covering Antarctica appears to be melted.
 
The scientific point of view considers the ice-cap which covers the Arctic to be millions of years old. However, according to the Piri Reis map, the northern part of the continent has been mapped before the ice did engulf it, indicating that these regions went through a long ice-free span that might had ended approximately six thousand years ago, theory which contradicts with the current historic standards and beliefs.
 
 
So who could had possibly mapped this area if there were no humans on Earth millions of years ago? Or better said, could history prove to be wrong when describing the ice in the Arctic as being millions of years old?
 
When Charles Hapgood, a former university history professor, wrote to the Unitated States Air Force Reconnaissance Technical Squadron (SAC) about this geographic anomaly, a reply came from Harold Z. Ohlmeyer, a Lt Colonel, USAF, as it follows:
 
 
“This indicates the coastline had been mapped before it was covered by the ice-cap,” he confirmed. “We have no idea how the data on this map can be reconciled with the supposed state of geographical knowledge in 1513,” Ohlmeyer added.
 
In response, Professor Charles Hapgood said the following:
 
It appears that accurate information has been passed down from people to people. It appears that the charts must have originated with a people unknown and they were passed on, perhaps by the Minoans and the Phoenicians, who were, for a thousand years and more, the greatest sailors of the ancient world.
We have evidence that they were collected and studied in the great library of Alexandria (Egypt) and that compilations of them were made by the geographers that worked there.
 
When Hapgood and mathematician Richard W. Strachan tried to understand how the map was created, they stumbled upon the most interesting hypothesis. After comparing the map with modern day photographs taken by satellites, they discovered significant similarities. From this point of view, it’s plausible that the Piri Reis map had been achieved compiling aerial photographs taken from a really high spot, be it from a mountain top or even from the air. If so, how can science interpret this if the map is considered to be millions of years old?
 
A spaceship hovers high above Cairo and points its camera straight downward. When the film is developed, the following picture would emerge: everything that is in a radius of about 5,000 miles of Cairo is reproduced correctly, because it lies directly below the lens. But the countries and continents become increasingly distorted the farther we move our eyes from the center of the picture.
Why is this? Owing to the spherical shape of the earth, the continents away from the center “sink downward.” South America, for example, appears strangely distorted length-ways, exactly as it does on the Piri Reis maps! And exactly as it does on the photographs taken from the American lunar probes.” – (Erich Von Daniken 92)
 
Is it possible that this ancient map was made using aerial technology in a time uncharted by modern day science? Or if this isn’t the case, who had the technological means to attempt such a detailed geographical analysis of Antarctica a couple million years ago? And most of all, what ancient technique allowed for them to design the map as if it was seen from above?
 
Whatever the case, the Piri Reis map contributes to the assumption of ancient civilizations far greater developed than what science is letting us know. It’s unexplainable how the Mayans, Sumerians, and others knew of celestial bodies that in reality can only be detected using modern tools, but considering the conclusive evidence given by this ancient map, we can form a slight idea of the means possessed by the ancients.
 
If aerial photography was a reality in the past, it’s not hard to imagine how the old dwellers of the Earth reached those heights. If such information will be officially disclosed in the future remains to be seen, but until that time comes, it’s better to use our own judgement when it comes to finding answers. The truth may already be among us.

Mars is Inhabited by Humans and We Have a Secret Pact with Aliens, Space Activist Reveals

Mars is Inhabited by Humans and We Have a Secret Pact with Aliens, Space Activist Reveals

Mars is Inhabited by Humans and We Have a Secret Pact with Aliens, Space Activist Reveals

According to multiple sources, world leaders have already established contact with otherworldly intelligent beings and are now governing the Earth in accordance with a universal pact between many advanced races residing in the universe.
 
While for some of us it’s undeniable that extraterrestrial beings exist somewhere in the cosmos, there are others who claim that these beings already know of our existence, and are even visiting us or residing on or inside planet Earth. Some of these affirmations come from reputable persons that had worked in different environments either related to space or to secretive affairs on the planet.
 
For them, the transition between 2010 and 2020 is considered crucial for humanity because it will reveal the final proof involving intelligent entities that had been, and are still visiting our planet. According to them, the world is slowly being prepared for full alien disclosure.
 
Relevant details are provided by Alfred Webre in an interview for a renowned Spanish publication, La Vanguardia. He is the international Director of the Institute for Cooperation in Space (ICIS,) and works towards the preservation of our species by trying to prevent the weaponization of space and transform the permanent war economy into a peaceful, cooperative, democratic Space Age society, re-integrating with a larger, intelligent Universe society.
 
 
He shared some of his ideas in the interview below:
 
I am 67 years old. I was born on a naval base in Florida during the Second World War. I live in Vancouver. I am a Doctor of Laws and a judge in the Kuala Lumpur Court of Justice for war crimes, I am married, I have a son and two stepdaughters. We live in a universe of intelligent origin. There is evidence that there are ethical civilizations more advanced than our own, who participate in our developmental process.
 
La Vanguardia: Give me evidence.
 
Webre: Declarations of The United States government employees who have testified their participation in secret programs of relations with certain extraterrestrial civilizations.
 
La Vanguardia: This means that we have already made contact with the extraterrestrials?
 
Webre: Yes, according to those witnesses, the United States government has been working with them secretly since the 1950s.
 
Andrew Basiago, son of a CIA official, was enrolled at the age of seven in a secret program for super-gifted children who were trained to be ambassadors before the extraterrestrial race.
 
La Vanguardia: Any contact?
 
Webre: There has been a meeting with 3 astronauts from the planet Mars. In January 2009, the CIA employee Virginia Olds confirmed that CIA knows there is a humanoid civilization living under the surface of Mars.
 
We think that in the year 9500 B.C. fragments of the Vela supernova entered the solar system and destroyed the ecology on Mars. The Martians, 1.500 years more ethically and technologically advanced than us humans, sheltered underground.
 
In December 2008 we published a report that included photos taken by the NASA robot Rover Spirit, in which one can identify certain species of humanoids, animals and structures on the Martian surface. You can see it on www.exopolitics.com.
 
La Vanguardia: There are three astronauts who assert to have seen extraterrestrial life.
 
Webre: Yes, Buzz Aldrin who travelled aboard the Apollo XI said that when they arrived on the Moon in 1969, there were two large extraterrestrial ships around the great crater, his version was verified by high NASA officials.
 
La Vanguardia: I am amazed.
 
Webre: Doctor Steven Greer, director of the Disclosure Project, has gathered more than 500 testimonies from military, government and intelligence of high rank that are witness to the extraterrestrial presence and they were made public in May 2009, in the National Press Club of Washington.
 
 
La Vanguardia: Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Peru have released their UFO records.
 
 
Webre: Recently so did France, Sweden and Denmark, and the United Kingdom that brought to light 7.200 UFO files compiled by D155, a secret unit of the Ministry of Defense.
 
La Vanguardia: Why not divulge the life on Mars?
 
Webre: Because of political reasons. We are going to insert a question invoking the freedom of information laws, so that NASA admits the intelligent life on Mars.
 
La Vanguardia: And the Martians, why don’t they appear in society?
 
Webre: Our planet is one of a low order and we assume it is under a quarantine that is imposed by the government of the universe.
 
La Vanguardia: And this quarantine ends now…
 
Webre: We think that the ethical extraterrestrial civilizations have used the UFO phenomenon to acclimatize us to their existence, and that between 2010 and 2020 we can start having open relationships with these civilizations.
 
La Vanguardia: So the first contact will occur with the Martians?
 
Webre: Yes, because there are many mutual benefits, they can give us technologies and knowledge, and we have a precious green planet they can migrate to.
 
La Vanguardia: How does the universe function?
 
Webre: There are many dimensions and universes that are parallel to our own. Some extraterrestrial civilizations come from other dimension, from other parallel universe, that is why the UFOs can appear and disappear.
 
La Vanguardia: How are these more evolved civilizations like?
 
Webre: Looks like we are living in an organized universe and the more ethical civilizations have achieved domination of the time dimension and it is them who will probably develop our reality.
 
La Vanguardia: You make it sound terrible. 
 
Webre: According to some theories we are evolving on a very accelerated pace, in order to abandon the economy of permanent war and to turn it into a sustainable economy. The human consciousness is developing to enter the universal age and to openly connect with those other civilizations.
 
La Vanguardia: They could lend us a hand.
 
 
Webre: There is a primary guideline: do not interfere in the evolution of a civilization from other planet. But in very little time, man will learn how to use the quantum teleportation and to extract energy from space. We are in a transitional era where we must decide if we choose destruction or evolution.
 
La Vanguardia: Does your work consist of studying the great government of the universe?
 
Webre: Exopolitics is a social science that studies the relationships between our human civilization and other intelligent civilizations in the universe. One of our first steps in the universal diplomacy will be through the Martian civilization.
 
La Vanguardia: I understand.
   
Webre: I personally work with Doctor Norman Miranda, the cabinet chief of the president of UNO General Assembly, so that UNO will represent the Earth before the Martian civilization.
 
If Webre’s predictions prove to be true we are yet to find out, but considering that his beliefs are shared by many others, it’s likely that at least a grain of truth resides in his story. There’s clearly much disinformation ‘flying around’ the internet these days which turns people into skeptics when it comes to the UFO phenomenon and a former Martian civilization, but it’s likely that instead of presenting the entire history of humanity as something totally different, our governments choose to play this game of denial to their advantage. After all, what better way to discredit the people than not giving them the attention they request?
