Dr. Charles Hall worked two years with tall white aliens that had their own base within Nellis AFB. This glowing ship looks a lot like the description that Hall gives about what he saw them fly in. He has stated many times that the Tall Whites like to go to Vegas to relax and enjoy a normal human lifestyle. This ship is probably taking some Tall Whites back to their base.

Eyewitness states:
I Had Just come out of the Rio Hotel/Casino to catch The E/B Flamingo Bus, I Turned back toward the Hotel Because I Caught this Very Bright White light out of my Peripheral Vision, It was going west, No Sound, No Blinking, or "FAA" I.D. (Anti-Collision) Light's, It Glowed From Within, No External Light's. I Am a Former Private Pilot, and a Aircraft & Technology Enthusiast, I am Familiar with most kind's of aircraft, This wasn't a Helicopter, Or Jet, or Civilian aircraft, when I saw that it was Returning E/B From Behind the Rio Bldg. (on the left) I took out my Cellphone to Video it, took a picture then switched to video, (Both Included) I Think it was a UFO, Unless it was some kind of Homemade Drone, But from my best estimate it was about 300 ft.Alt. Maybe 1/4 to 1/2 mile away, and looked to be about the size of a Mini-Van. I Didn't see it emerge from behind Bldg. #2, And right at that time my bus was arriving, You can hear it in the audio, along with traffic noise, so I had to stop the video (and Further Investigation) Could you please take a closer Look at it and let me Know what you think, I Don't have the equipment to Enlarge the video to see more detail, I Was very excited to observe this, and I think I got one! I Believe that we are not alone, and have Never Been alone. . .and I Hope I Live long enough to experience "Disclosure", and possibly meet, and interact with our Space "Family" Thank You!!

This UFO was found by Streetcap1 of Youtube has shows a blue glowing ship in Earths orbit. The ship is actually moving from right to left of the photo. How do I know it? Because it was caught not one time, but three time in that particular photo. The ship is actually jumping, not flying from place to place. Much like a time traveler would, but instead of time, its space. Check out Streetcap1 and his awesome video channel for more great discoveries.

Mysterious green UFO in Southern California sky baffles onlookers, April 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: April 27, 2016
Location of sighting: California, USA
News source: 

http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2016/04/27/Mysterious-green-light-in-Southern-California-sky-baffles-onlookers/6211461759967/

I have a strange feeling that on the night of April 27, several mysterious planes landed in the area where the UFO crashed. Janet planes (737 Boeing), which carry secret scientists and search and recovery teams to sites of top secret crashes from Area 51. I believe this alien tech craft in the hands of the USAF has been seen crashing before...in Needles, California May 2008, a small city I once lived in. Back in Needles, a green glowing oval UFO was seen crashing and later retrieved by black helicopters and two Janet planes seen at the local closed airport.

News states:
LOS ANGELES, April 27 (UPI) -- A green light streaking across the night sky over Southern California left witnesses baffled and even experts were short on firm answers as to the cause of the display. Several residents of San Bernardino County and the surrounding region reported spotting the mystery green light in the sky between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Tuesday, and at least one resident shared dashboard camera footage of the mystery light. Dr. Edwin Krupp of the Griffith Observatory said the green light may have been interplanetary debris that caught fire to create a meteor while entering the atmosphere. He said the object may have also been man-made debris from a previous space launch. Krupp said there is a strong possibility that the object completely burned up in the atmosphere, meaning it may never be conclusively identified.

Arizona: UFO Spotted By Sky Harbor Employee at Airport

On Tuesday at Sky Harbor Airport, a certain employee was outside the building when a strange glowing object passing on the side caught his attention. It occurred at 9 pm and had a massive V-shaped structure. As the object moves, the witness observed its course of action and pattern. The encountered lasted for about five minutes. Since it did not point towards him, the witness believed that it is not a threat to humanity. What the witness felt is a sense of wonder about the massive object traveling in the air without making noises.

In Arizona, airport sightings are the most frequent sightings. In fact, it made the state as one of the hotspots for purported alien activities. According to Arizona’s state director Jim Mann, the sighting has increased in the last ten years. Therefore, he has a strong belief that humans are not the only ones living in the universe. If you can remember, the most famous encounter that is witnessed by many people is the Phoenix lights. It took place in March 1997 when a huge string of illuminated object hovered over Valley skies. Currently, this newly reported airport sighting is investigated. As per Mann, the team is seriously finding the grounds as seen by the witness. While the object may be a natural or man-made phenomenon, it is to be noted that other things hovering in the sky may, at least, be explained as radio-controlled toys or drones.

To get a further investigation, the field agent interviewed the witness irrespective if he is credible or not. However, the spokesperson of Sky Harbor named Julie Rodriguez said that no employee has reported a sighting on the date of the incident. As per Jeff Willes, he also spotted the strange floating objects around the airport. Whether or not the object can be identified, it is still clear that Phoenix is a hotspot destination for curious visitors.

Is this mysterious object floating above Earth a UFO? Footage of strange ship near the International Space Station leaves viewers baffled

• The footage, purporting to show an unknown object, emerged from Russia
• Some have claimed it is a UFO, others suggested it is a piece of debris
• The video was said to have been filmed by the ISS's exterior cameras

By COREY CHARLTON FOR MAILONLINE

The video was reported to show a spacecraft or piece of debris following the station as it orbited Earth last month.

The footage - claimed to have been shot on the ISS's own cameras - was said to have been taken while the satellite was waiting for a supplies delivery.

The object is seen floating behind a Russian Soyuz spacecraft, which are used to transport cosmonauts

The appearance of the object in the video has baffled viewers trying to determine what exactly it could be

While some have suggested it is a UFO, others say it is a piece of debris or some other floating matter

It was said the video was recorded by ISS cameras, through the veracity of the claim has not been established

Many have claimed the object is a UFO - but others remain skeptical about the authenticity of the film and the explanations for the object.

Some pointed out that cameras on the ISS record video of significantly better quality than that seen in the short recording.

Meanwhile, the rotation and motion of the object does not look to correspond to that of an object in orbit.

One clue could could lie in the fact a Russian Soyuz spacecraft - used to carry cosmonauts into space - is seen in the footage.

Astronauts on the film's soundtrack make no comment about the object seemingly observing them, it was reported.

The video quickly went viral online where it was hotly debated by viewers. Some described it as a 'companion ship'.

One viewer, identified as Kirill Polishchuk, said: 'Debris from the ISS will have roughly the same speed. It is a thermal insulation board, most likely.'

Meanwhile, today the Cygnus cargo vessel was launched back into space packed full of garbage it had accrued during its time with the ISS.

The capsule, built by private space company Orbital ATK, was pushed out into the emptiness of space using a large robotic arm on the space station as it flew above Bolivia.

Once the spacecraft reached a safe distance from the space station, its engines were due to fire twice, sending it on course for a fiery finale in the Earth's atmosphere.

The spaceship, which was named SS Deke Slayton II after one of Nasa's original astronauts, will burn up in the atmosphere during re-entry.

Supposed Pictures Of Real Extraterrestrial Beings: Do You Think They Would Look So Similar To Us?

There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations . . . [and] it behooves us, in case some of these people in the future or now should turn hostile, to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.

– Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (source)

You may be thinking that this is absolutely ridiculous. I know many people read the titles of articles like this one and turn their heads and scoff, immediately shutting down the possibility that these could be actual photos of extraterrestrial beings. Why do we hold onto our views so staunchly, at the expense of logic and reason? What prevents us from considering new ideas and new ways of viewing the world? So much new information is emerging every day which challenges the current accepted framework of knowledge, and it can be difficult for our opinions to evolve as quickly as the science. Nonetheless, this is an extremely important topic, especially with the recent disclosures of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) by various governments and defence intelligence agencies, and we must work past our reluctance to accept new ideas. These objects are constantly photographed and tracked on radar, as well as visually confirmed by the pilots who are sent out to see them, and we would be foolish to discount this kind of evidence.

For example, here is one (out of thousands) of documents detailing encounters with UFOs. In this case, like many others, both of the F-4 interceptor pilots reported seeing the object visually; it was also tracked on their airborne radar. Both planes experienced critical instrumentation and electronics going offline at a distance of twenty-five miles from the object. Here is an excerpt from the report:

As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications. When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications. Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object. The second object headed straight toward the F4. (source)

A photo taken by two Royal Canadian Air Force pilots on August 27th, 1957, in McCleod, Alberta, Canada is another example of such evidence.  The pilots were flying in a formation of four F86 Sabre jet aircraft. One of the pilots described the phenomenon as a “bright light which was sharply defined as disk-shaped” and which looked like “a shiny silver dollar sitting horizontal.” Another pilot managed to photograph the object, as you can see above.

There are a number of studies published in reputable peer-reviewed journals analyzing these cases. This specific sighting lasted for a couple of minutes, and the case was analyzed by Dr. Bruce Maccabee, who estimated (from available data) the luminosity of the object (the power output within the spectral range of the film) to be many megawatts. The Sturrock Panel also found that a strong magnetic field surrounding the phenomenon or object was a common occurrence:

If it does indeed turn out that there is relevant physical evidence, if this evidence is carefully collected and analyzed, and if this analysis leads to the identification of several facts concerning the UFO phenomenon, then will be the time for scientists to step back and ask, what are these facts trying to tell us? If those facts are strong enough to lead to a firm conclusion, then will be the time to confront the more bizarre questions. If, for instance, it turns out that all physical evidence is consistent with a mundane interpretation of the causes of UFO reports, there will be little reason to continue to speculate about the role of extraterrestrial beings. If, on the other hand, the analysis of physical evidence turns up very strong evidence that objects related with UFO reports were manufactured outside the solar system, then one must obviously consider very seriously that the phenomenon involves not only extraterrestrial vehicles but probably also extraterrestrial beings.

-Peter Sturrock,  An emeritus professor of applied physics at Stanford University

– Maccabee published his analysis in the Journal of Scientific Exploration (“Optical Power Output of an Unidentified High Altitude Light Source,” published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, vol. 13, #2, 1999). He also published one in 1994 titled “Strong Magnetic Field Detected Following a Sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object” in the same journal (8, #3, 347) (source)(source)

Dr. Jacques Vallee, notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA, and for his work at SRI International on the network information center for ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet, also published a paper in the Journal of Scientific Exploration titled “Estimates of Optical Power Output in Six Cases Of Unexplained Ariel Objects With Defined Luminosity Characteristics.” (source)(source)

“An extraterrestrial influence is investigating our planet. Something is monitoring the planet and they are monitoring it very cautiously” — 2008 Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel (source)(source)

The above information is provided in order to give readers insight into the reality of the UFO phenomenon; whether or not they are extraterrestrial is a completely different question. These objects commonly perform maneuvers and travel at speeds which no known aircraft can achieve, and there have been countless reports of beings from other worlds that are closely associated with this phenomenon. To say that some of these unidentified objects are extraterrestrial in origin is highly plausible. And you can read more about the extraterrestrial hypothesis and why it’s not so far fetched in a specific section of a recently published article HERE.

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

Possible Extraterrestrial Beings?

What do you think extraterrestrial would look like?  Evolutionary biologist Simon Conway Morris, best known for his study on the Cambrian explosion, believes extraterrestrials are real and that they will look like humans. You can read more about that here.

The picture to your left was released by a professor by the name of Bruno Sammaciccia. A Catholic historian with degrees in psychology and psychiatry, he was the author of more than 100 books and a well-known, distinguished figure in Italian academic circles.

He is thought to have taken this photograph of an alleged 10 foot tall extraterrestrial being in Italy in 1976.

If you read the lore, there are many stories of a mysterious group of extraterrestrials who look like humans and who established underground bases in Italy, meeting with local residents between 1956 and 1978.

Not long before his death, Sammaciccia claimed he had had direct physical contact with extraterrestrials over several decades. Dr. Roberto Pinotti, a leading Italian UFOlogist, has since confirmed his decades-long knowledge of the Sammaciccia cases. When it comes to human extraterrestrial contact in modern history, this case ranks among the most compelling, given the pictures and the number of witnesses involved.

Here is a brief summary of the Sammaciccia contact story as given by UFO researcher Dr. Michael Salla (founder of exopolitics.org):

In 1956 when Bruno Sammaciccia and two friends met with two mysterious individuals who said they were extraterrestrials. One was over 8 foot tall while the other was just over 3 foot. Sammaciccia and his friends, initially skeptical, were eventually taken into a large underground base where they saw more of the alleged extraterrestrials. They also saw their children being educated, some of the advanced technologies they used, and their space ships. Finally convinced that they were really having physical contact with extraterrestrials, Sammaciccia and his friends began to help the extraterrestrials. They began with material support by arranging for truckloads of fruit, food and other material to be transported and unloaded at an extraterrestrial base. Eventually, two truckloads of supplies were being delivered every month to bases in different regions of Italy where Sammaciccia and his assistants lived.

Sammaciccia finally described a violent conflict between two factions of extraterrestrials trying to influence humanity’s development and future. While his ‘Friendship’ faction promoted cosmic unity and ethical development, the other faction promoted technological development at all cost. This led to periodic violent clashes between the factions. Eventually, the underground bases of Sammaciccia’s extraterrestrial friends was destroyed in 1978. Survivors had to leave the Earth but promised to return at a future time when humanity was ready for a more ethical future of humanity interacting with extraterrestrials.

Sammaciccia’s astounding story sounds like an episode from Star Trek, but it is well supported by documentary evidence, some of Italy’s finest UFO researchers, and first hand witnesses of the events described. Some of the witnesses were leading statesmen, scholars and high society figures from Italy and Europe.

Below is a lecture given by one of the world’s foremost researchers of this topic, Timothy Good. He goes into detail about this supposed encounter, as well as many others.

To the left you will see a picture that was given to the world by Phil Schneider.

Phil was a very controversial figure, as was his death. He was born in 1947 and was the son of Oscar and Sally Schneider. Oscar was a Captain in the United States Navy who apparently worked in nuclear medicine and helped design the first nuclear submarines. He was also supposedly part of the famous ‘Philadelphia Experiment,’ as well as Operation Crossroads, a program to test nuclear weapons.

Oscar Schneider is the gentleman to the right of the man with the red circle around his head. Phil (man in the video below, apparently Oscars son,  and Oscar appear to resemble each other quite strongly. The man with the circle around his head is the supposed extraterrestrial. The others are apparently some of the world’s top physicists from the time.

Philip claimed to be an ex-government structural engineer who was involved in building underground military bases (DUMB) around the country. We’ve actually published a couple of detailed articles about DUMBs, whose existence is not mere speculation. You can read more about them in these articles below:

Phil had some incredible stories to tell about various moments in his life, one of which was the story of how he lost two fingers and had his body sliced open. While all of this is anecdotal and unverifiable, it is interesting to consider nonetheless, perhaps his missing fingers and the big scar on his body (as shown in the video) are from something else.

Phil passed away shortly after beginning to give lectures on the nature of his work. To this day, his ex-wife continues to raise awareness about the truth behind his death.  You can listen to an interview with herhere, and below you can find a lecture given by Phil.

Some Interesting Quotes — A Few Out Of Hundreds

“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.” – Doctor Edgar Mitchell, 6th man to walk on the moon (source) (source)(source)

“I’m skeptical about many things, including the notion that government always knows best, and that the people can’t be trusted with the truth. The time to pull the curtain back on this subject is long overdue. We have statements from the most credible sources – those in a position to know – about a fascinating phenomenon, the nature of which is yet to be determined.” – John Podesta, taken from Leslie Kean’s 2010 New York Times bestseller, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, And Government Officials Go On The Record, in which Podesta wrote the forward

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

“Some of what people report as UFOs are extraterrestrial (ET) vehicles. Some of those extraterrestrial vehicles actually have ET crews, and some of those ET crews catch and release humans.” — Dr. Don Donderi, a retired McGill University Professor of 40 years in the Department of Psychology (source)

“This thing has gotten so highly-classified . . . it is just impossible to get anything on it. I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because, frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since. I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified.” – Senator Barry Goldwater, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee (source)

“There is another way, whether it’s wormholes, or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way.” – Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of Nebraska. (source)

“Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world. The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon. There is an international exchange of data.” – General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979); fromUFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2, written by Richard Dolan

Ready, set, think! Watch the first drone race to use MIND CONTROL

• Each of the 16 racers wears a specially programmed EEG headband
• Programmers write code to translate 'imaginary motion' signals 
• Competitors then think about moving the drone down the track 

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wearing black headsets with tentacle-like sensors stretched over their foreheads, the competitors stare at cubes floating on computer screens as their small white drones prepare for takeoff.

'Three, two, one ... GO!' the announcer hollers, and as the racers fix their thoughts on pushing the cubes, the drones suddenly whir, rise and buzz through the air. 

Some struggle to move even a few feet, while others zip confidently across the finish line.

Competitors in the Florida race use specially programmed headbands to monitor their brainwaves - moving the drone when they will it to happen. 

The competition — billed as the world's first drone race involving a brain-controlled interface — involved 16 pilots using willpower to drive drones through a 10-yard dash over an indoor basketball court at the University of Florida this past weekend.

The Associated Press was there to record the event, which organizers hope to make an annual inter-collegiate spectacle, involving ever-more dynamic moves and challenges and a trophy that puts the brain on a pedestal.

'With events like this, we're popularizing the use of BCI instead of it being stuck in the research lab,' said Chris Crawford, a PhD student in human-centered computing. 

'BCI was a technology that was geared specifically for medical purposes, and in order to expand this to the general public, we actually have to embrace these consumer brand devices and push them to the limit.'

Scientists have been able to detect brainwaves for more than a century, and mind-controlled technology already is helping paralyzed people move limbs or robotic prosthetics. 

But now the technology is becoming widely accessible. 

Emotiv and NeuroSky are among startups offering electroencephalogram headsets for purchase online for several hundred dollars. 

The models Florida racers used cost about $500 each.

Here's how the technology delivers an abstract thought through the digital realm and into the real world: Each EEG headset is calibrated to identify the electrical activity associated with particular thoughts in each wearer's brain — recording, for example, where neurons fire when the wearer imagines pushing a chair across the floor. 

Programmers write code to translate these 'imaginary motion' signals into commands that computers send to the drones.

Professor Juan Gilbert, whose computer science students organized the race, is inviting other universities to assemble brain-drone racing teams for 2017, pushing interest in a technology with a potential that seems limited only by the human imagination.

As our lives become increasingly reliant on Internet-enabled devices, a concept known as the Internet of things, Gilbert and his team want to know how mind-controlled devices can expand and change the way we play, work and live.

University of Florida sophomore Michael Lakin, 19, uses a brain-controlled interface headset to fly a drone during a mind-controlled drone race in Gainesville, Fla.

You might use your mind to unlock your car, or explore a virtual world, hands-free. 

It could be applied for real-time monitoring of our moods and states of consciousness. 

Researchers are studying whether they can use a big-rig driver's mind to trigger a device that will tell him when he's too tired to drive.

'One day you could wear a brain-controlled interface device like you wear a watch, to interact with things around you,' Gilbert said.

So far, BCI research has largely been about helping disabled people regain freedom of movement.

Recently, an Ohio man using only his thoughts was able to move his paralyzed hand thanks to a chip implanted in his brain. 

In Miami, doctors using BCI are helping a 19-year-old man stand on his own after losing the use of his legs in a motorcycle accident.

Dr. Monica Perez talks to Richard Tursi, 19, who is undergoing therapy that uses a brain-controlled technology to help improve his motor functions at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami. Tursi was in a motorcycle accident when he was 16 which left him a quadriplegic. Now he has the limited use of his arms and legs. The therapies have improved his brain function, allowing him to stand and move his arms.

Dr. Mike Urbin views highlighted areas of the brain while working with patient Richard Joseph Tursi at the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami.

The idea of collegiate brain-drone races pleases Dr. Bin He, a biomedical engineer at the University of Minnesota who first demonstrated a mind-controlled drone in public in 2013.

'The progress of the BCI field has been faster than I had thought ten years ago,' He said. 

'We are getting closer and closer to broad application.'

But as the technology moves toward wider adoption, ethical, legal and privacy questions remain unresolved.

The U.S. Defense Department — which uses drones to kill suspected terrorists in the Middle East from vast distances — is looking for military brain-control applications.

A 2014 Defense grant supports the Unmanned Systems Laboratory at the University of Texas, San Antonio, where researchers have developed a system enabling a single person with no prior training to fly multiple drones simultaneously through mind control.

Tursi, 19, undergoes therapy that uses a brain-controlled technology to help improve his motor functions at the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami.

University of Florida PhD student Islam Badreldin, 31, practices driving a brain-controlled vehicle that he modified to work wirelessly in Gainesville, Fla.

In this system, instead of the pilot thinking certain thoughts to move the drones, she looks at a screen with flickering signals, triggering brain activity that translates into specific movements. 

'It can accommodate lots of commands, much more than imaginary motion can,' UT scientist Yufei Huang said.

But enthusiasts should think carefully before handing over their brainwaves for purposes that have yet to be conceived or contained, said Kit Walsh, a staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation with a degree in neuroscience from MIT.

'EEG readings are similar to fingerprints: once I know what the readings look like from your brain in a certain situation,' she said. 'I'll be able to recognize you by that pattern again later on.

What is that thing?! Phoenix Sky Harbor employee reports UFO sighting

(Facebook Photo)

PHOENIX — A Phoenix Sky Harbor employee said he spotted an unidentified flying object flying low above the airport while he was working in March.

According to the testimony in Case 75640 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database, the massive object flew less than 500 feet overhead.

The witness reported watching a chevron-shaped UFO fly northwest over the airport while he was “disposing of trash” at about 9 p.m. on March 1.

“The lights were what I noticed at first,” the witness said in the report. “They were white and formed a chevron shape that allowed me to notice the shape of the object. It was very large as it passed beside me. I was near the tower, so I knew it was high, but not too high as for me not to get an idea how large this object was.”

The witness said he did not feel afraid. He submitted a sketch with the report to MUFON.

“I didn’t feel anything but shock as I pondered what had just taken place,” he said.

The witness said that the light near the dumpster was out and the lights on his vehicle were turned off, so “no other light source was close enough to hamper my vision.”

He said he felt calm, with no sense of danger as the massive object flew silently above.

“Just a sense of wonder and amazement that something so huge could travel in the air and not make any noise.”

Phoenix has long been a UFO hotspot in the eyes of believers.

More than 10,000 people statewide saw what many believe was a mass UFO event on March 13, 1997, known as the Phoenix Lights.

Although airport officials told Phoenix New Times that no unusual incidents were reported on the night alleged sighting, MUFON field investigators continue to look into the matter.

Proof, that the earth was inhabited by GIANTS -giant footprints!

(Before It's News)

Proof, that the earth was inhabited by GIANTS -giant footprints!

Biblical references to giants:

3:11 – ‘For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man’. (This bed is 6 feet wide, 14 feet long and King Og’s height is estimated at least 12 feet.)

Joshua xv. 14; Judges i. 20; and Numbers xiii. 33 – ANAK, father of the Anakim. ‘The Hebrew spies said they were mere grass-hoppers in comparison with these giants’

This is fantastic news. UFOaustralia site (not up yet) has been gathering UFO gov reports and getting them ready online for readers to go through them. These reports are very important, because it shows that the government in Australia was taking the matter seriously, meaning...they know that aliens exist. Not all UFO reports turn out to be UFOs, but are often other things. 

So, how to tell what reports are real or not? 
   1. The more detail in the report, the easier it is to decide if its real or not.
   2. Photos or video help tremendously. 
   3. Eyewitness professions/jobs.
   4. Movement of the UFO. (Very important)
   5. Number of witnesses, the more the bigger chance its real.

Jim Marrs: What Is The Government Hiding About Aliens and UFO’s

In this video Luke Rudkowski interviews Jim Marrs, an American newspaper journalist and New York Times best-selling author. The two discuss the best evidence for extraterrestrial life and the history of government cover ups on this topic. We not only go over the government’s actions but actually evidence with whistleblowers and official government documents.

Hillary Says UFO Matters Still On Agenda

As most people may already know, Hillary Clinton has been in New York on Monday for her presidential campaign. While visiting East Harlem, she had an interview with the Power 105.1 Breakfast Club. One of the hosts suspects aliens may have been abducted him. He asked Hillary if she was indeed serious about telling the truth on UFOs. Hillary answered positively.

Clinton has confirmed many times in her previous interviews that she will try to declassify files on UFOs if elected as president. However, she made it clear she did not want to release any records that were kept secret due to national security.

While she isn’t sure about extraterrestrial UFOs, Clinton does think that some stories about the subject are true. She believes that people see things, but what they see, she doesn’t know. Clinton believes that the government should try to give people information.

Clinton just keeps discussing UFOs when asked and this attitude has caused a lot of debates. Typical politicians usually not serious about the subject and some even make a joke of it. However, Hillary has repeatedly answered questions about it confidently and promised to look into the issue. Former President Bill Clinton, her husband, had said that he looked into the matter and did not find anything.

Some think that Hillary has no interest in UFOs and just want to get the votes from UFO believers. The National Geographic survey in 2012 showed that 36 percent of Americans think that ETs have visited Earth, and 80 percent believe the U.S. government kept the truth secret from the public.

'Enorm meer ontdekt onder het ijs van Antarctica

• Caroline Kraaijvanger

Het meer zou zo’n 100 bij 10 kilometer groot zijn en is daarmee maar ietsje kleiner dan het beroemde Vostokmeer: het grootste meer dat onder het ijs van Antarctica verstopt zit.

Wetenschappers kwamen het meer op het spoor toen ze satellietbeelden van het oostelijke deel van Antarctica bekeken. Op de beelden was te zien dat in het ijs groeven zaten die wel vaker boven subglaciale meren worden aangetroffen. In januari concludeerden onderzoekers al dat hier een 1000 kilometer lange vallei onder het ijs verborgen moet zitten. Toen al vermoedden onderzoekers dat de vallei verbonden was met een nog onontdekt subglaciaal meer.

Meer
En tijdens een bijeenkomst van de European Geosciences Union heeft onderzoeker Martin Siegert nu laten weten sterke aanwijzingen te hebben dat er inderdaad een nog onontdekt meer onder het ijs verborgen zit. Het meer zou zo’n 100 bij 10 kilometer groot zijn en is daarmee maar ietsje kleiner dan het grootste subglaciale meer van Antarctica: het Vostokmeer.

De groeven in het ijs en het vermoedelijke meer.

Radar
Siegert benadrukt dat het bestaan van het meer nog bevestigd moet worden. Om dat te kunnen doen, moeten radargolven door het ijs worden gejaagd. Siegert vertelt aan Scientias.nl dat een internationaal team van onderzoekers de benodigde gegevens recent heeft verzameld. “We zullen deze binnenkort gaan bestuderen.”

Verstopt
Als er daadwerkelijk een meer onder het ijs zit, heeft het zich heel lang voor ons verborgen weten te houden. Toch is dat niet zo gek, vertelt Siegert. “Voor we dit onderzoek deden, wisten we niets over dit gebied.” Wachten ons in de toekomst nog meer van dit soort grote ontdekkingen op Antarctica? Siegert denkt van niet. “Dit is het laatste onverkende gebied.”

Wat bevindt zich onder het ijs van Antarctica? We krijgen er een steeds beter beeld van. Maar op deze afbeelding is goed te zien dat Princes Elizabeth Land (waar het vermoedelijke meer zich bevindt) nog onontgonnen gebied is.

Vostokmeer en leven
Wetenschappers zijn zeer geïnteresseerd in subglaciale meren op Antarctica. Ze zijn vaak bedekt met kilometers ijs en al vele millennia van de buitenwereld afgesloten. Maar onderzoek naar het Vostokmeer heeft al aangetoond dat dat niet wil zeggen dat er in deze meren geen leven mogelijk is. In het Vostokmeer zijn bijvoorbeeld tal van organismen aangetroffen. Het vertelt ons dat het leven op aarde veel meer kan hebben dan gedacht en dat heeft ook weer implicaties voor het leven op andere hemellichamen, bijvoorbeeld op de maan Enceladus die beschikt over een wereldwijde oceaan die bedekt is met een dikke laag ijs.

Het is niet ondenkbaar dat er ook in het meer dat onderzoekers nu denken ontdekt te hebben, leven is. Zodra het bestaan van het meer bevestigd is, is het volgens Siegert dan ook heel aannemelijk dat de jacht op eventueel leven in dat meer geopend wordt.

Witness report:

Had sensing to take dog outside– had to wake him. Seems craft would have been right over me at that time. Rectangular with 10 lights in 2 columns of 2 -front 2 white blinking didn’t appear to be strobe, and other 8 multi colors strady on blue, red, yellow, green …?? While trying to determine if 8 or 10 lights, another craft appeared also rectangular but only 8 lights not multi colored but would go totally black for several seconds – only saw it 2x. Travelling WNW from MIA? Into/across wind, flying too fast for blimps ( such as if lit up underneath) too slow for normal jets… Not enough sound ( if any) for choppers flying any panels of lights to someplace ( direction Eglin?) No “wingtip lights” of red/ green” unable to determine altitude due to unknown actual size. But if ‘ usual’ plane altitude after TO 2 mile ‘down range’ less than 2 mi alt. perhaps? At one point I thought I saw a large light grey disk above it(attached) 3x size of rectangular light ‘panel’ but could be trick of mind/eye as low clouds were moving in and moon light subdued. Called someone immediately who knows ac had worked avionics 40 years and he had no idea. Tweeted later if anyone had seen it also but no replies.

New runway has caused many ac to fly right over at low altitudes for many months. Jets fly low after buzzing sunlife stadium, blimps for games often around..Am close to smaller ap where planes dive in and out picking up dropping banners– but never at night. (North Perry) Used to live ‘at’ HAFB and saw low flying stealth before made public ( it was viewing downrange flight of shuttle liftoff at night) .10 yrs CAP-USAF scanner. Never seen anything like this. Only photoes by iphone are garbage but show squarish blobs of light.

UFO report from a pilot

Location: High over Europe
Date: 24/04/16
Submitted by Captain Anon

Witness report:

Whilst operating a commercial flight from eastern Mediteranean to UK cruising at 36000′ heading approx 300* over Bulgaria we saw what we initially thought was a satellite moving left to right just under the constelation Canis Minor. It was too slow for a meteor. It initially appeared as bright as the ISS, but quickly faded as it moved horizontally to the right, and faded from view before passing under the right star of Canis Minor. So we thought it was just a satellite and nothing at all unusal. However about 10 minutes later it appeared in exactly the same place and did exactly the same thing again, another satellite perhaps…a real coincidence! Shortly after that there was a bright white flash lower down under Canis Minor, it came and went in a split second. This was not a coincidence so we started to monitor that part of the sky closely and sure enough it reappeared in the same place and followed the same path again. As the occurances continued regularly at about 10 minute intervals it became fainter, however on about the fourth pass another bright short flash appeared underneath and to the right of the object. We observed about six passes before it was too faint to see, or had moved away. What WASN’T it? Not a satellite, although of a similar speed, but repetetive. Not a weather balloon, probably the right height, but too fast and repetetive. Not a commercial aircraft, no nav lights, no strobes nor beacon, and FAR too high. The only thing that makes any sense is an ultra high (military) aircraft flying extremely fast in a race track pattern getting further away from us. BUT this would not explain the two HI flashes. Three of us witnessed this from the flight deck, we were baffled, I have never seen anything like this in 20 years of commercial flying.

Coast to Coast AM: UFOs & Nukes

Robert Hastings joined George Knapp to discuss UFO incursions at nuclear weapons sites. His new film UFOs and Nukes, The Secret Link Revealed features interviews with US Air Force veterans who were involved in incidents which confirm that unidentified flying objects seem to be able to monitor and even control nuclear weapons. Hastings says the film (and his book) feature “anecdotal evidence from very persuasive sources.” The cases have continued for decades, up to the present day. Hastings’ father was in the Air Force and when he was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in North Dakota in the 1960s, there were rumors of UFOs hovering over the area. He believes that whatever intelligence is behind the incursions may be essentially asking leading governments if it is wise to continue to possess nuclear weapons.

Hovering Triangle UFO Fazes Arkansas Witness

A man driving along a dirt road at Malvern in Arkansas had a close encounter with a silent UFO more than 150 feet wide on December 15, 2015, approximately an hour before sundown.

The UFO was reportedly hovering low – just above the trees – and passing his destination. He observed it for 30 seconds but did not stop driving out of fear.

The object had strange bright blue lights that were pointed straight at the witness like two square eyes. The witness thought right there that it could see him.

As the witness got closer to the UFO, the treeline blocked his view or perhaps the view of the entity inside the UFO too. After about an hour, he noticed afterburners of a military fighter jet going south without lights.

He estimated the UFO to be between 150 and 200 feet wide. The witness wasn’t sure how long the UFO hovered there.

The witness reported his close encounter to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), and it can be accessed in Case 75545 of the network’s witness reporting database.

Triton: The Strangest Moon in Our Solar System

 

Science Channel

IN BRIEF

Neptune's largest moon, Triton, has a retrograde orbit, moving the opposite direction around its planet. This orbit contradicts everything we know about how moons form, and it could indicate a secret origin.

A RETROGRADE WORLD

In August 25, 1989, NASA’s Voyager 2 mission reached the outer solar system and gave us our first look at the largest of Neptune’s 13 moons, Triton. To begin, Triton is considered to be one of the coldest places in our entire Solar System. The moon’s surface temperature is about -235°C on average, while Pluto averages about -229°C.

Yes, this world is colder than Pluto.

And upon our arrival, we discovered that the this strange moon is, well, even stranger than we assumed. In fact, it is orbiting the wrong way, and it is the only large moon among any of the other planets in the solar system that does this.

Triton has what is called a “retrograde orbit,” which means that its orbit is opposite to Neptune’s rotational direction, indicating that the moon did not form along with its host planet. This orbit contradicts everything we know about how moons form.

AND THINGS GET WEIRDER

If that’s not enough to convince you that it’s clearly no ordinary moon, Triton’s surface is smooth, seemingly like metal. This may be caused by eruptions on the surface, as Triton is geologically active to this day, driven by the radioactive heating from its core. And this heating means that it could have liquid water in its interior, just like Europa.

One theory is that Triton was originally a binary object that visited our solar system from somewhere else. In this case, Triton would have once been a dwarf planet. However, it had a close encounter with Neptune that ended with the loss of the other body, making the former planet a moon.

Sadly, Triton’s orbit is decaying. Scientists estimate that, in approximately 3.6 billion years, it will pass below Neptune’s Roche limit and will be torn apart…so enjoy this little world while you can.

Watching a Spacecraft Wreck Tumble Through Space

On a clear night sky, you might spot an occasional shooting star or even glimpse the fast-moving International Space Station as it circles the Earth.

But there are a lot of other objects up there too, including a massive new Japanese x-ray telescope called Hitomi that broke up a few weeks ago, and hundreds of tiny four-inch cube-shaped satellites ("cubesats") that are filling an ever more crowded orbital playground.

Now a group of astrophysical researchers say they can track bits of broken satellites and space junk using regular optical telescopes to record flashes of sunlight that reflect off these wandering probes. This week, they have been watching several big chunks of Hitomi as they tumble uncontrollably through space.

"As these things are going across the sky, they flash as the sunlight reflects on them," said Aroh Barjatya, associate professor of engineering physics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. "Using photometry, we wrote a piece of code that centers them and measures the brightness of the object. When you are looking at controlled satellite, the brightness curve behaves in a known way. When you look at Hitomi, it's tumbling up and down. It has spin rate."

The team shot this video of one chunk of Hitomi flashing as stars pass by using a high-speed camera mounted on a telescope, and this video of the main body of Hitomi.

"It's as if a mirror were spinning in space," said Forrest Gasdia, a graduate student at Embry-Riddle, who made the observations this month.

NEWS: An Orbital 'Pac-Man' to Chomp Through Space Junk?

Barjatya said the group's observatory is specializing in tracking small cubesats -- many of them inexpensive, short-lived probes launched by university researchers that might fall through the cracks of the Pentagon's space junk tracking system.

"There are hundreds of universities launching them each year," Barjatya said. "We are potentially putting a lot of orbiting objects in the sky, many can breakup and fail and destroy other satellites. It hasn't happened. But as we put more and more up there, there is that possibility."

Barjatya says that half of the cubesats have lost contact with their operators. With a better optical tracking system, he hopes that provide more information about their fate.

The Pentagon's Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base is currently tracking 23,000 objects in space using radar and optical cameras. Their position are posted on this website each day.

JSpOC spokesman Capt. Nick Mercurio agreed that the space above Earth is getting more crowded. Every day, more than 3,000 automated messages are sent out to satellite operators about drifting debris or other satellites that may pose a risk. JSpOC is currently tracking 11 separate pieces of Hitomi since its breakup on March 26, Mercurio said, and has made five notifications warning other spacecraft operators that these bits are getting close to existing satellites.

PHOTOS: Satellite 'Flock' Launched From ISS Cubesat Cannon

In 2015, nearly 150 satellites had to be moved from their orbit to avoid colliding with something else. Astronauts aboard the ISS had to boost its orbit four times last year to avoid trouble.

"Low earth orbit is congested," Mercurio said. "Things are moving at 17,500 miles per hour and it can get dangerous. A two-centimeter ball bearing has same impact (energy of a) Jeep Wrangler driving at 70 miles per hour."

The Embry-Riddle team says they hope to improve their imaging capabilities with spectroscopic cameras that will be able to analyze the light reflecting off the space debris to determine whether it's a solar panel, piece of Teflon, aluminum or other kind of metal.

Odd 'Y' Shape Dominates Saturn Moon Enceladus (Photo)

"Such features are also believed to be relatively young based on their lack of impact craters — a reminder of how surprisingly geologically active Enceladus is," they added.

Enceladus is famous for the geysers near its south pole, which blast water ice and other material into space continuously. The 313-mile-wide (504 kilometers) moon is thought to harbor a huge ocean of liquid water beneath its icy shell; the geysers offer a way to sample this ocean from afar, without touching down on Enceladus, scientists say.

Cassini has flown through the plume created by the geysers multiple times since its arrival in the Saturn system in 2004. Though Cassini is not equipped to hunt for signs of life, the probe has spotted organic materials — the building blocks of life as we know it — within the plume. (Many astrobiologists regard Enceladus as one of the solar system's best bets to host alien life.)

Cassini took the newly released image on Feb. 15, 2016, at a distance of about 60,000 miles (100,000 km) from Enceladus. The spacecraft has made a series of close flybys of the moon in recent months, to gain more information about its geological history and environment.

The surface of Enceladus is believed to be possibly less than 100 million years old, which would make it one of the youngest surfaces in the solar system. The moon reflects almost 100 percent of the light that hits its surface because it is so icy, scientists say.

'Star Trek Continues': Vic Mignogna Beams Us to a Fan-made Final Frontier

Star Trek Continues vs Old School - A Side by Side Comparison

https://youtu.be/sTcpwqwMzog

"Star Trek Continues" is exactly what it sounds like: A fan-made science fiction series that picks up where the original "Star Trek" TV show left off, putting Kirk, Spock and the rest of the starship Enterprise's crew through a whole new set of adventures in the final frontier. The cast — made up of of talented voice- and stage-actor Trek fans, including Vic Mignogna as executive producer (and Kirk) — works on an exact-replica set, evoking the original show's performances to create what feels like lost episodes from the series itself.

Since its debut in 2013, "Star Trek Continues" has published five episodes online, and the sixth will premiere in May. (Episode 7 is nearly done as well.) The project's crowdfunding campaign to finish Episode 7's post-production phase and film three more episodes is live on Indiegogo until May 4. 

Space.com caught up with Mignogna to talk about the show he calls his "love letter" to the original series, the key to "Star Trek" storytelling and what's to come in the next two episodes of the web series. (Plus, Space.com's own Karl Tate explores the set in this Trek-tastic new video.)

Space.com: How did "Star Trek Continues" begin?

Vic Mignogna: I've loved the original series of "Star Trek " ever since I was a little boy; I used to eat, sleep and breathe that show, basically. I would make my own uniforms and make my own props, and use my parents' movie camera to round up kids in the neighborhood to shoot little episodes. That show really inspired me when I was 10, 11, 12 years old, 13, 14.

Over the years, I have been developing skills in filmmaking and acting, and all different elements of production, and a few years ago I helped another fan production — I directed an episode for another fan production, and I kind of got bitten by the bug again. So I got a bunch of friends together and we all poured a lot of love and money and sweat and time and effort and talent into starting this web series. And people have really enjoyed it. We've got over 4 million views now, and have won a dozen awards, and people seem to really, really be enjoying it and it's very gratifying.

Space.com: How long did it take from the idea's inception to the first episode going up online?

Mignogna: We started out by releasing some little 3- to 5-minute dramatic vignettes introducing the world to our crew and the actors that were going to be playing those iconic roles, and we released three of those vignettes. They're all online, they're on our YouTube channel. They were basically a preview while we were finishing building all the sets and getting ready to shoot the first episode.

To date, we've been around three years and we've got six episodes: five online, released. The sixth one is done and will be premiering in May at Megacon, and the seventh episode is also done and will be premiering in the fall.

Space.com: Has the project grown in scale over time?

Mignogna: The project already started at its beginning at a higher level of quality than people had heretofore seen in fan production. But I will say with every episode, I feel like our cast and crew have gotten better and better. When we released a first episode, a lot of people were like, "Wow, how could you do any better than this?" And then we would release the second one and people would say, "Oh my gosh, I don't know how you did it, but this one's even better." And then the third one, they would say, "Oh my gosh, this one's even better, and the fourth one's even better, and the fifth one's even better!" So in different ways I think we are improving, but from the very beginning our quality level was extremely high. [See the Evolution of the Starship Enterprise in Photos]

The legacy of Star Trek is more than four decades old and still going strong. See the evolution of Star Trek in this SPACE.com infographic.

Space.com: How do you decide on the specific plots or issues to focus on for particular episodes?

Mignogna: The original series' stories were very compelling stories that many times had an ethical theme or a moral plot or point or a social commentary, and so I was committed from the very beginning to telling those kinds of stories. And that's exactly what we've done. If you watch our episodes, you'll find that one of the things that makes [them] feel so much like the original series is that we tell very thought-provoking, intriguing, passion-filled stories.

Space.com: Can you say what's coming up in episodes six and seven?

Mignogna: I will tell you this: Our next episode is going to be so groundbreaking, nobody has ever done anything like this. I don't want to give away too much, but I will tell you that the engineering room will be featured prominently. It will be making its screen debut in Episode 6.

Gigi Edgley, who was one of the main characters in Farscape, is our guest star for this episode. And let me just say that there was an element that they incorporated into several episodes of the original series, and no fan production has done this to the degree that we're doing it in Episode 6.

And I will tell you that Episode 7 has already completed shooting. It's a wonderful, very, very thought-provoking episode about a very topical issue, and [I'm] very, very proud of that episode as well.

Space.com: What has been the most difficult part of producing the show?

Mignogna: Oh, my gosh, everything. I have to tell you, whenever you set out to do something at this level of quality, there are so many moving parts, and if you watch our episodes you see that there are tons and tons of elements to this production. Getting the lighting just right, getting the costumes just right, casting it, makeup, camera teams, sound team, props, art direction — there are dozens of moving parts that all have to come together to make it work, and I am so very, very proud of the team that I've assembled. The reason that we're able to do this quality-level work at a fraction of what it would normally cost is because everybody is basically doing it for virtually nothing. They're doing it because they love the original series of "Star Trek," they have a passion for it and they want to pay tribute to it the same way I do.

Space.com: What was it like putting together the replica sets?

Mignogna: The partial bridge was the only thing that had been built of all these sets when we partnered up [to work with another "Star Trek" fan production's set]. And then my director of photography, Matt Busey, did all of the diagrams and architectural drawings for all of the rest of the soundstage. And then a bunch of local volunteers, and just really good "Star Trek" fans, came together, including myself, and we all spent several months building all of the rest of the sets, and then three years ago we shot our first episode on those sets. So now — "Star Trek Continues" is the sole owner of those sets — we call our studio Stage 9, which is named after the soundstage where the original series was shot.

Our cast and crew come together at least twice a year to shoot episodes on those sets. They were patterned after the original series soundstage, and I would say that they were within inches of perfectly accurate to the original sets. [How 'Star Trek' Technology Works (Infographic)]

Space.com: Was there anything particularly hard to put together?

Mignogna: The pieces that were scattered all around the original soundstage were pieces from the 1960s; those pieces don't exist anymore. We need[ed] to come up with our own way to recreate and reproduce those pieces. And I'm very proud of the job we've done, doing so.

Let me say, as amazing as our sets are, at the end of the day, the sets are just a backdrop to the story. If the story isn't any good, if the acting isn't any good, then it really doesn't matter how accurate the sets are. The only reason that our sets need to be accurate is so the audience will immediately accept the setting as the original-series Enterprise or the original series of "Star Trek," and then allow us to tell them a good, thought-provoking story. That's one thing that a lot of fan productions miss. A lot of fan productions build really nice sets, or they make nice costumes, but those things are merely a vehicle to tell a good story. As far as "Star Trek Continues" is concerned, story, story, story is king. That's the most important thing.

Hunt Continues for Gravitational Waves from Black Hole Megamergers

The Earth is constantly jostled by low-frequency gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries in distant galaxies. Astrophysicists are using pulsars as a galaxy-sized detector to measure the Earth’s motion from these waves.

The sound of merging supermassive black holes does not saturate the universe.

For the past decade, scientists with the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) collaboration have been listening for a constant "hum" of low-frequency gravitational waves.

Theoretical work suggests that this hum — generated by collisions involving supermassive black holes, which contain millions or billions of times more mass than the sun — should be detectable at Earth. NANOGrav hasn't heard the hum yet, a new study reveals, but this lack of detection is an interesting result in its own right, revealing new details of how galaxies might evolve and merge, team members said. [The Search for Gravitational Waves in Pictures]

Moving masses generate waves of gravitational radiation that stretch and squeeze space-time.See how gravitational waves work in this Space.com infographic.

Galactic gravitational wave detectors

Gravitational waves — cosmic ripples that distort the fabric of space-time itself — were first predicted by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity in 1916.

The first direct detection of these ripples was announced earlier this year, by researchers with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) project. The waves spotted by LIGO radiated outward from a cosmic crash between two black holes that were 29 and 36 times the mass of the sun, respectively. 

The $1 billion LIGO experiment bounces a laser beam between mirrors that are positioned at either end of two 2.5-mile-long (4 kilometers) arms. If a gravitational wave passes through the detector, the length of one of these arms will change ever so slightly compared to the other, affecting the arrival time of the laser light by a fraction of a second.

NANOGrav works on the same general principle, but it uses pulsars — dead stars that spin rapidly, up to hundreds of times each second — instead of Earth-based laser beams. And it hunts for supermassive black holes.

Pulsars emit beams of radiation from their magnetic north and south poles. If a pulsar happens to be aligned with Earth just right, astronomers will see flashes of its radiation, just as observers can see beacons of light from a lighthouse. These flashes can contain evidence of gravitational waves.

"As the gravitational wave transits the Milky Way, it stretches and squashes space-time, making the pulsars and the Earth jiggle," Chiara Mingarelli, an astronomer from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, told Space.com. "And we can measure that jiggle by looking at changes in the arrival time in the pulses."

Two pulsars "are like the interferometer arms on LIGO, but instead of being 4 kilometers long, they're 3,000 light-years long,” Mingarelli added. "A pulsar timing array is really a galactic-scale gravitational-wave detector." 

NANOGrav currently monitors 54 pulsars throughout the Milky Way using the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the two most sensitive radio telescopes operating at the necessary frequencies. Team members are hoping to hear a distinctive low-frequency sound.

"Whereas LIGO has this high-pitched chirp, pulsar timing arrays have a low growl from all these supermassive black holes combined," Mingarelli said. [What Colliding Black Holes Sound Like (Video)]

Why the silence?

When two galaxies collide, the supermassive black holes at the cores of each sink to the center of the newly created megagalaxy and swirl around one another. Scientists think that, over time, the black holes' orbits shrink, allowing them to merge and form an even more gigantic supermassive black hole.

But there's a problem with this scenario. While it’s easy to imagine how two supermassive black holes could come to orbit one another, astronomers struggle to model how the behemoths cross the final parsec (about 3.2 light-years) of space between each other to merge. In order to fall toward each other, the black holes have to radiate away energy — but exactly what that energy looks like, and how it changes as the black holes come closer together, is relatively unknown.

The simplest model predicts that black holes merge via gravitational-wave radiation for that entire final parsec. If that's the case, the supermassive black holes would radiate so many gravitational waves that a background "hum" should have been detected by now. But the new analysis of NANOGrav's nine-year dataset did not detect any such background.

However, that result isn’t surprising, said study co-author Justin Ellis, an astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena.

"Most people in the field didn't really believe the optimistic model," Ellis told Space.com.

The likelihood that the background noise is relatively weak means that the physics involved are a little messier — and more interesting, researchers said.

There are two possible interpretations of the failure of the NANOGrav collaboration to detect any telltale noise until now. The first is that merging supermassive black holes shrink in their orbits because they interact with stars and gas. If the black holes slingshot stars away from the center of the galaxy, for example, that could cause them to lose the necessary energy and slouch toward the center. This would cause them to merge faster and emit less gravitational-wave radiation.

The other possibility is that the black holes spiral toward each other so slowly — on timescales longer than the age of the universe — that they essentially never merge.

"It’s weird to think that the centers of galaxies just have these massive binaries that just can't get together, but it's possible," Mingarelli said.

Within these models are many knobs that theorists can turn, Ellis said. Researchers can play with how quickly and efficiently supermassive black holes merge via interacting with gas and dust, slingshotting stars away from the center or simply emitting gravitational-wave radiation.

"It's a big parameter space, and this is the first study that can start to cut out some of the edges of that parameter space and limit how far the knobs can be turned," Ellis said.

The new study was published in The Astrophysical Journal.

Three ancient Manuscripts that suggest Extraterrestrial beings visited Earth in the distant past

These three ancient Manuscripts all describe similar stories where beings, possibly misinterpreted as ‘Gods,’ came from the heavens and ruled over the planet for thousands of years.

Is it possible that ‘beings’, misunderstood as ‘Gods’ came to Earth in the distant past, and ruled over the planet for thousands of years?

If intelligent extraterrestrial civilizations did visit our planet in the distant past would we find evidence of their visitation somewhere on Earth today? Well, according to these three ancient texts the most-searched for pieces of evidence are right in front of us and have been here all along, ever since ancient mankind recorded what they had seen thousands of years ago.

Even though mainstream scholars firmly reject this idea millions of people today firmly believe mankind has been visited by beings not from Earth in the distant past. According to some accounts these beings who were referred to as Gods intervened in numerous way in the evolution and development of civilization as we know it and interestingly there are numerous ancient texts that seem to back up this controversial yet popular theory.

The Sumerian King List, the Royal Canon of Turin and the Palermo stone are three extremely important ancient texts that describe a time in history when beings referred to as ‘Gods’ ruled over our planet.

The Ancient Sumerian King List

The Sumerian King list is one of the most interesting ancient texts ever found on our planet as it details with great accuracy the rulers of the ancient Sumerian Civilization. There are more than a dozen of copies of Sumerian King Lists found in Babylon, Susa, and Assyria and the Royal Library of Nineveh from the VII century BC. All of these are believed to originate from one original list believed to have been written during the Third Dynasty of Ur or even earlier.

However, the best preserved Sumerian King List is called the Weld-Blundell Prism which is a clay cuneiform inscribed vertical prism housed in the Ashmolean Museum.

Written on it is a comprehensive list of all Sumerian kings before and after the great flood. Interestingly it describes Kings who ruled over Earth living for thousands of years.

From the Sumerian King List, we read: “…After the kingship descended from heaven, the kingship was in Eridug. In Eridug, Alulim became king; he ruled for 28800 years. Alaljar ruled for 36000 years. 2 kings; they ruled for 64800 years.”

This ancient document describes a time on Earth when unknown beings lived for thousands of years and ruled over the ancient cities of the region. Researchers have not been able to explain why the unique list blends mythical pre-dynastic rulers with historical rulers who are known to have existed and as such have mixed feelings when it comes to the interpretation of the Sumerian King list.

Scholars today have only partially accepted the Sumerian King list suggesting that the lengthy implausible reigns described within the Sumerian King list are nothing more than mythology.

The Turin Royal Canon of the Turin King List

But if ‘Aliens’ misinterpreted as ‘Gods’ did in fact rule on Earth for thousands of years wouldn’t there be evidence of their existences in different cultures?

Well, the Ancient Sumerian King List isn’t the only ancient text that describes how ‘Gods’ ruled over planet Earth. The Turin Royal Canon is another crucial ancient text that describes the longevous reign of ‘Gods’.

The Turin papyrus –referred to by many as the Turin Royal Canon—is an ancient text written in the hieratic language (a cursive form of Egyptian hieroglyphics; used especially by the priests). Scholars believe that the original papyrus was a list that included over 300 names detailing precisely the years, months and days of each reign of the kings that ruled over the lands of ancient Egypt.

Interestingly, the part that resembles the Sumerian King List with great accuracy are the final two lines of the column, which seem to represent a resume of the entire document are extremely interesting and remind us of the Sumerian King list. They read: ‘… Venerables Shemsu-Hor, 13,420 years; Reigns before the Shemsu-Hor, 23,200 years; Total 36,620 years’.

The Papyrus of Turin clearly indicates the existence of NINE dynasties that correspond to the predynastic Pharaohs and among them are the Venerables of Memphis’, ‘the Venerables of the North’ and lastly, the Shemsu Hor (the Companions or Followers of Horus) who ruled until the time of Menes, the first mortal Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt.

The Palermo Stone

Also known as the Royal Annals, the Palermo Stone is considered by many as the world’s oldest history books. This ancient stone is the most important source for the study of ancient Egyptian History. While the exact date of its creation is still a mystery, it is believed to have been created sometime in the fifth dynasty. Just as the Ancient Sumerian King List and the Turin Royal Canon do, the Palermo Stone lists the mythical predynastic kings of Egypt followed by the pharaohs of the first five dynasties.

The Palermo stone is only half of a huge slab of black diorite which initially is believed to have measured approximately 2 meters in length and around 60 centimeters in height. It is currently displayed at the Museum of Palermo. The document, in hieroglyphic writing, accounts for 120 predynastic kings who reigned before the ancient Egyptians officially existed as a civilization. Interestingly the names of the mysterious “gods” and “demigods” appear in the Egyptian royal genealogies as well.

As you can see, there are several ancient texts that describe with great accuracy a time when beings, possibly misunderstood as Gods, came down from th  e heavens and ruled over mankind. Moreover, similar accounts of ‘Gods’ that came down from the heavens can be found in numerous ancient cultures all across the planet. For some reason, mainstream researchers have decided to ignore these ancient texts and have put forward their own chronology of ancient Egyptian history and that of other great ancient civilizations.

Ovni et géographie - conclusion

THE TOWER ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON FOUND BY SOVIET SPACECRAFT ZOND 3

On July 20, 1965, the soviet Spacecraft ZOND 3 took some of the first ever high-quality images of the FAR SIDE of the Moon as the Soviet space probe made its way to Mars. Because of the fact that our planet is ‘tidally locked’ with the Moon, the same side of the moon constantly faces us. Previous to these missions, we had no idea what’s on the ‘other side’ of Earth’s natural satellite. 

 

Zond 3 wasn’t the first!

 

 Two years after the Soviet Union made history by launching Sputnik, it launched Luna 3, the third mission in their lunar program. Luna 3 reached the moon on October 7 when it started taking images of the far side of the lunar surface, covering about 70 percent of the unexplored side of the moon. The spacecraft sent back 17 noisy images before operators in the Soviet Union lost contact on October 22.

 

 Even though the images sent back from Luna 3 weren’t the best, it was the first set of images of the moon’s far side, a first for the Soviets and mankind

 

Zond 3 would complement the exploring Luna 3 did. Zond 3 was meant to reach Mars, and photographing the far side of the moon was a secondary objective for the Soviet Spacecraft. The Soviets equipped the Zond 3 with extremely useful technologies, equipping the spacecraft with two cameras, infrared and ultraviolet spectrometers, a magnetometer, a cosmic ray detector, a solar particle detector, and a meteoroid detector. Zond 3 made its way to the moon 33 hours after being launched on July the 18th, 1965. Just as it passed the far side of the moon, its cameras started exploring the far side of Earth’s satellite, focusing on the 30% that its predecessor, Luna 3 had missed, taking one picture every two minutes and 15 seconds for a total period of one hour and 8 minutes. 

 

 

 

Nine days after Zond 3 had taken the images, they arrived to Soviet operators on Earth. The images sent back to Earth were among the first which allowed researchers to take a peek at the numerous geological formations on the far side of Earth’s natural satellite, but among them, one image caused quite a stir among researchers and Ufologists.

 

 In one of the images of the far side of the moon, a mysterious tower-shaped structure can clearly be seen protruding the lunar surface. In its vicinity, no other similar structures are seen, and Ufologists believe that the mysterious ‘tower’ seen in the Zond 3 image is a crucial piece of evidence supporting their theory that there are alien structures on the far side of Earth’s moon. 

 

The image of the Tower on the moon was obtained on 20 July 1965 by the Russian vehicle Zond 3. At the time, the probe was about 10,000 kilometers above the Moon. 

 

So far, the mysterious structure on the far side of the moon is only one of the many that have been found to date according to Ufologists and UFO hunters.

 

 Several Monoliths across our Solar System? 

 

While some of these structures can be rationally explained as natural geological formations on the surface of the moon, there are some that simply defy every explanation. Is it possible that the tower on the far side of the moon really has an ‘Alien’ origin? And is it possible that there are similar structures across the moon? 

 

Looking at the image from the far side of the moon and the mysterious structure, we cannot help and compare it to the mysterious monolith on Mars’ moon Phobos. 

 

 

When the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft was mapping the small moon of Mars, Phobos, and sent its incredible images from the small, potato-shaped moon back to Earth satellite Ufologists had a field day speaking about the mysterious structure that was clearly visible on the surface of Phobos. There in plain view, a large rectangular object undoubtedly resembling an artificial monolith stands alone. Nothing in the vicinity has a similar shape or size, so the question is, what is it? What is its purpose? And who placed it there? 

 

Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the surface of the moon, surprised many by saying, “We should visit the moon of Mars, there’s a monolith there, a very unusual structure on this little potato shaped object that revolves around Mars once every seven hours. When people find out about that they are going to say, “Who put that there? Who put that there?” Well, the universe put it there, or if you choose God put it there.’ 

 

Astronomers didn’t hesitate to quickly offer and explanation about the mysterious structure that had Ufologists scratching their heads. According to astronomers and specialists in images, it’s just another “Extraterrestrial rock”.

 

 A specialist in images from NASA Lan Fleming, who studied Mars and other solar system anomalies examined the picture of Phobos and stated that the so-called monolith is just a physical anomaly and that there are many others found in different part of our solar system

Two unidentified flying objects over Virginia Beach

Here’s one older video of a two bright UFOs flying across the night sky above Virginia Beach.

Witness report: Virginia Beach, VA – On the evening of 3/9/2015 around 8:50pm upon leaving the Hair Cuttery at Brenneman Farms Marketplace, I filmed these pulsating red/orange orbs in the night sky.
As I walked to my car, I looked up and noticed a number of pulsating orbs directly over head. At first I thought they might be drones or chinese lanterns. It took me a moment to get my phone camera rolling, at which point the largest group of orbs had faded out into the NE sky. The orbs were moving from the SW horizon, in procession, gradually gaining altitude until they simply faded out in the NE sky. Each orb faded out in the same location. As the orbs faded their diameter gradually decreased. The orbs made no sound and never changed shape, with the exception of decreasing in diameter. In total, I would estimate having viewed 10+ orbs over a period of five minutes.
There were two other witnesses in a car nearby. They pulled up next to me as the sighting ended and can be heard in the background. One lady believed the orbs might be drones. This is a possibility as there are numerous military facilities nearby.
