Alien Hunters Link Giant Pyramid Structure Discovery Deep Under The Pacific Ocean With UFO

Alien Hunters Link Giant Pyramid Structure Discovery Deep Under The Pacific Ocean With UFO

pacific-ocean-pyramid

Stories on secrets hidden at the bottom of the sea are not something new, but this one is a little bit different and may be bigger than most of them.

Alien hunters say they have discovered a perfect pyramid deep down the Pacific Ocean.

Based on the image on Google Earth, experts estimated the structure to be 8.5 miles across, and some UFO enthusiasts suggested it could be an alien spacecraft parked underwater.

Marcelo Igazusta, an Argentinian researcher, was the one who first discovered the mysterious underwater structure in June.

Igazusta claims that he spotted a beam of light shining in the dark deep below the ocean off the west coast of Mexico using the coordinates 12 ° 8’1.49 ‘ N 119 ° 35’26.39’ W.

Alien enthusiasts picked up the news and later shared it with their followers. They say that it is a perfect pyramid, measuring 8.5 miles on one side of its base. They explain that it is just a conservative estimate, and the discovery could be up to 11 miles across.

They further state that only space aliens could make such huge structure. It may not be a UFO that landed in the ocean, but some alien followers believe it is still a monumental discovery that has a connection with extraterrestrials.

Scientists Make A Microscopic Storage System That’s Only 100 Nanometers Wide

Scientists Make A Microscopic Storage System That’s Only 100 Nanometers Wide

Devin Coldewey

IN BRIEF

Scientists from the Netherlands discovered a system wherein a disk can store data atom by atom. The technology is not yet ready for public use but offers an array of possibilities.

MICROSCOPIC HARD DRIVE?

Researchers from the Netherlands were able to create a microscopic storage system that encodes every bit with a single atom. In other words, a kilobyte could be stored in a space spanning just 100 nanometers.

Hard drives you can buy today use a system that require hundreds or thousands of atoms to store a single bit of data or 1 terabit per square inch. Meanwhile, the new system can store about 500 terabits per square inch.

In a press release, Sandre Otte, lead scientist at the Delft University of Technology, stated that “In theory, this storage density would allow all books ever created by humans to be written on a single post stamp.” How cool is that?

AS COOL AS LIQUID NITROGEN

Otte explained that every bit consists of two positions on a surface of copper atoms and one chlorine atom that can slide back and forth between these two positions. Since chlorine and copper form a perfectly square grid, it is easier to position and read them. It is a 1 if the chlorine atom is at the top and a 0 if it is at the bottom. Putting 8 atoms of chlorine in a row to form a byte.

All in all, the system is efficient enough for it to store hundreds of letters into a 96×128 nanometer space, 12 rows by 12 columns, with each cell holding 8 bytes.

Though this development is promising, it is still not ready for release yet. The array is only stable in vacuum and at 77 Kelvin, similar to the temperature of liquid nitrogen. If the temperature is more than that, the heat will disrupt the organization of the atoms.

atomic storage ani

“Every bit consists of two positions on a surface of copper atoms, and one chlorine atom that we can slide back and forth between these two positions,” explained Otte. Because chlorine on copper forms into a perfectly square grid, it’s easy (relatively, anyway) to position and read them. If the chlorine atom is up top, that’s a 1; if it’s at the bottom, that’s a 0. Put 8 chlorine atoms in a row and they form a byte.

Then there are a few special marks that indicate things like the end of a line or file, or that the next space should be ignored (in case of damage, for instance). Altogether the system is efficient enough that they were able to store hundreds of letters into a 96×128 nanometer space (12 rows and 12 columns, each cell holding 8 bytes). And it’s easy enough to do these manipulations that the process can be automated.

The data the researchers chose to demonstrate this was a fragment of a Feynman lecture, “There’s plenty of room at the bottom” (PDF) — fittingly, about storing data at extremely small scales. (You can see a high-resolution image of the array here.)

This is strictly lab-bound, though, at least for now. The chlorine-copper array is only stable in a clean vacuum and at 77 kelvin — about the temperature of liquid nitrogen. Anything past that and heat will disrupt the organization of the atoms.

It’s early-stage research, but still promising. The idea of using individual atoms as bit storage is something many scientists have dreamed of, and the applications of such dense storage are, of course, innumerable. The study is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

NASA Finds 104 Alien Worlds, Four Could Support Earth-Like Life

NASA Finds 104 Alien Worlds, Four Could Support Earth-Like Life

Futurism, VC

IN BRIEF

NASA's Kepler spacecraft has combined data from Earth-based telescopes and found 197 planet candidates and 104 exoplanets (four of which could host Earth-like alien life).

MORE TELESCOPES, MORE DISCOVERIES

Using data from NASA’s Kepler spacecraft on its K2 mission, and combining them with follow-up observations from earth-based telescopes, an international team of astronomers have tallied a total of 197 initial planet candidates. Notably, they also discovered 104 confirmed exoplanets (also known as ‘alien worlds’).

Moreover, four of them feature rocky terrains, meaning that they could potentially host Earth-like alien life; however, they could also be dead worlds like Venus or Mars. Still, the more rocky worlds, the more chances of finding Earth 2.0 and life like ours.

The find also features giant planets that are between 20 to 50% bigger in diameter than Earth and are all orbiting dwarf star K2-72, which is about half the size of the Sun and is found 181 light-years away.

The planets were situated tightly, orbiting their host star at distances where they can make a full orbit between five and a half to 24 days. Despite this proximity, scientists are not ruling out the possibility of life within the star system.

“This bountiful list of validated exoplanets from the K2 mission highlights the fact that the targeted examination of bright stars and nearby stars along the ecliptic is providing many interesting new planets,” said Steve Howell, project scientist for the K2 mission at NASA’s Ames Research Center. “These targets allow the astronomical community ease of follow-up and characterization, providing a few gems for first study by the James Webb Space Telescope, which could perhaps tell us about the planets’ atmospheres.”

It took a battalion of telescopes from both the northern and southern hemispheres to come to this copious discovery: the North Gemini telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the Automated Planet Finder of the University of California Observatories, and the Large Binocular Telescope operated by the University of Arizona.

THE KEPLER’S SECOND LIFE

The Kepler project being extended into the K2 mission would not have happened if it weren’t fora resourceful fix engineers devised in 2013 to keep it running despite losing its second of four gyroscope-like reaction wheels.

“A severe malfunction had robbed the planet-hunting Kepler of its ability to stay pointed at a target without drifting off course,” NASA recalls.

“Many of us believed that the spacecraft would be saved, but this was perhaps more blind faith than insight,” said Tom Barclay, senior research scientist and director of the Kepler and K2 guest observer office at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. “The Ball team devised an ingenious solution allowing the Kepler space telescope to shine again.”

The fix.

So far, the extension has proven over and over that it was well worth the second try. It now covers more of the sky and can observe larger fractions of cooler, smaller, red-dwarf type stars, which are very common in the Milky Way.

Prince George Citizen" - décembre 1957

Salzbourg, Autriche : une abduction étrange

Il s'agit d'un des premiers ou même du premier récit d'un enlèvement étrange en liaison avec le phénomène OVNI. Et d'autant plus étrange que l'enlevé n'a pas cherché du tout la moindre publicité et à même préféré l'anonymat. Il faut dire qu'il s'agit d'un militaire, et qu'il n'a parlé que plus tard, libéré de ses obligations de réserves...

Son récit est paru dans un journal local canadien, le Prince George Citizen, en décembre 1957, alors qu'il décrit une histoire réellement arrivée le 15 mai 1951. Voici un résumé de son récit, raconté donc par ce soldat resté anonyme, membre de l'armée américaine d'occupation en Allemagne-Autriche, à la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale.

Salzburgeraltstadt02 e1466299696814

Salzbourg, en Autriche

Il était vers 23 heures, ce 15 mai 1951 dans la banlieue de Salzbourg, en Autriche, et le soldat en question rentrait chez lui à pied lorsqu'il fut soudainement accosté par une silhouette qui braqua une instrument sur lui et le paralysa. Il fixa ensuite une sorte de "plaque" sur sa poitrine et l'être étrange pu facilement le tracter, comme s'il flottait dans les airs, vers un champ voisin où était posé un objet rond d'une cinquantaine de mètres de diamètre.

" Ma première pensée fut qu'un espion m'avait capturé (...) J'étais passablement effrayé. "

L'homme et son gardien flottèrent assez rapidement jusqu'au sommet de l'appareil et y pénétrèrent par une ouverture. Le soldat se retrouva dans une espèce de salle, où il fut délivré soudainement de sa paralysie et chuta sur le sol.

" Je ressentis comme une vibration et sus que la salle venait d'être fermée. Puis j'eus la sensation de flotter dans les airs. Je n'avais jamais volé de ma vie (...) J'avais très peur, mais je me disais que j'étais en train de rêver. "
Soudain, la scène s'éclaira comme en plein jour et le soldat put enfin voir son kidnappeur. L'extraterrestre avait une tête cylindrique, avec de grands yeux ronds, pareils à ceux d'un insecte, deux trous à la place du nez et une petite fente en guise de bouche. Sinon, la créature était plutôt humaine d'aspect général, quoique plus petite que la moyenne.

Le vaisseau lui-même était construit en un matériau translucide. Ils décollèrent et mirent le cap sur la Lune, puis sur une autre planète qui avait des champs tout rouges, des rivières bleues, des ponts et des routes. Ils se posèrent dans un champ, parmi d'autres soucoupes, et la créature laissa son détenu seul dans le vaisseau, le temps d'aller discuter avec ses congénères.

" Je me disais que je devais être sur Mars. Je me souvenais de ce que j'avais appris à l'école, que Mars était rouge avec des canaux, alors cela me semblait être Mars, quoique je n'en fusse pas sûr à cent pour cent... "

La créature revint et ils décollèrent pour prendre le chemin inverse. Le soldat fut débarqué là où il avait été enlevé (et de nouveau paralysé de la même façon), puis la soucoupe repartit. Une fois sa mobilité revenue, le témoin prit ses jambes à son cou et se précipita chez lui.

" Mon épouse était encore debout, et elle me vit entrer tout excité. Elle me demanda ce qui m'était arrivé et je lui répondis : « Rien, je suis seulement malade. » Je ne pouvais pas lui raconter mon histoire, parce qu'elle aurait cru que j'étais devenu complètement fou. "

À l'horloge, il s'aperçut que son voyage n'avait duré qu'une heure...

Au rédacteur en chef du Prince George Citizen, ce premier enlevé (connu) expliqua qu'il lui racontait l'histoire parce qu'il souffrait d'une maladie cardiaque, qu'il supposait qu'il n'allait pas vivre encore très longtemps, et que le public avait le droit de savoir ce qui se passait...

On n'entendit plus jamais parler de ce soldat, et l'histoire fut redécouverte des années plus tard par des ufologues en quête de références historiques...

Voici maintenant, enfin retrouvé récemment, l'article en question et le témoignage complet, en vo puis sa traduction par Yves Herbo :

"Prince George Citizen" - décembre 1957

“I was working for the United States Occupation Army in Austria. On May 15, 1951, I was driving for QM Colonel Cousin. He commanded me to drive Mr. Haste to Linz from Salzburg. Mr. Haste was teaching classes to United States soldiers in Linz three times a week. “This particular day I came back as usual from Linz at about 11 o’clock at night and arrived at the motor pool five miles north of Salzburg. I started for home, leaving the car at the motor pool. I took a short cut, and on the left side was brush. It was dark, with no moon.

“Suddenly someone came out of the brush and came close to me. I could only see the outline in the dark, but he seemed to have a helmet on. He was about my height, maybe a little shorter. He had something in his hand and he pointed it at me. I thought it was his finger, but it made a ‘click.’ “After the click he waved his hand quickly and I went to put my arm up in front of my face but I was paralyzed. I felt like falling down, but I didn’t. He put a black square plate on my chest and strapped it around my back. I could hear a dog barking in the distance, but I couldn’t hear him walking. He must have walked very easily. I could see his outline as he walked around me.

“After he strapped the plate on me he walked in front of me, and pointed the thing in his hand at the plate on my chest rather than at my head like before. He walked away and pulled me after him. I couldn’t move or walk, but he just pulled me along after him. I wasn’t actually in the air, but my full weight wasn’t on the ground. It seemed as if I was light. “Behind the brush was a small field. In the field, hidden from the road, was a round object about 150 feet in diameter. It was dark, and I couldn’t tell what it was. My first thought was that a spy had captured me for some reason. “The thing that led me sort of rose from the ground and took me after him to the top of the object. He did something, either stepped on something or pushed some button, and a door opened and he pulled me after him down into the dark. I was plenty scared and I wondered what would happen next. I got down into the dark and I could finally feel a floor under my feet.

“I knew that where I was was either glass or plastic, because the stars could be seen shining up above. Then I saw what looked like the outline of what looked like a door, and he pulled me through into what I later found out was a room of glass or plastic. “He kept his finger, or what I thought was his finger but later saw was some form of pencilshaped object, pointed at me until I was inside the room. He kept it pointed at me all the time, then when I was in the room he took it off me and I sank down to the floor. He went out and I could see his outline.

There was a sort of shaking sensation, and I knew the door to the room had shut. “The next sensation I had was rising up into the air. I had never flown in my life. In a few minutes I could see the left half of the moon shining. I was scared, but I figured I was dreaming. Then I started to feel my hands and feet again. I sat up, and then I got up on to my feet. By this time we were in the sunlight. “I looked across the ship and I could see the person that had brought me there. He was standing over by the wall, and there were some levers there. He looked like a person, like we are. A little bit shorter than me. “To me at that time he looked like a devil. He had no hair at all. I could see through the sort of glass helmet. His head was sort of cylinder form. A very high forehead, with big eyes. You could see lots of little eyes in the two big eyes. It seemed to me it looked like the eyes of a fly. No nose at all, just two holes. He had a very small slit for a mouth. It looked like he had skin, it was sort of white. There were two holes for the ears. His skull was very large. “The torso was round kind of like a tin can. The legs were of proportionate length. His arms were a little bit shorter than our arms, I would say. His hands seemed to be three long fingers. I couldn’t see any neck, but he was wearing material that was like silver but wasn’t shiny. This covered all of him except the head part, which had on the helmet. He didn’t look at me at all. “The µmain part of the ship that I could see from the room I was in appeared to be round and the walls were like glass, but you couldn’t see through them. The floor was made of plastic or glass. In the middle of the floor, under the glass, was a black plate, something like I had strapped on my chest. From the corners of the plate, which looked about ten feet square, black beams ran to the walls of the ship. “I could see under the black plate and there seemed to be a duplicate room on the other side of the ship. I could see the same kind of levers on the wall as the Thing was standing beside. “As soon as we came out in the sun, I could feel burning heat, but he pulled a lever, and a covering like blue water came over the roof.

Then the sun was normal, but I could still see through it. “My first thought was that I was dreaming, and then my second thought was that I was dead and that my soul was rising up. “The ship was not rotating or going sideways, but kind of gliding straight up. I could see the Sun µlike a ball of fire, and the Moon was like a silver ball, but the rest was darkness. Suddenly, as I looked up, the Moon was right above us and it seemed to come down at us. Suddenly we were both standing on what had been the roof. We seemed to be about a quarter of a mile above the Moon. “I could see clearly the craters on the surface of the moon. There were lots of them. The ground seemed to be a grayish colour, and I could see rocks and hills. We were in the sunny part of the moon. The ship glided to the right and into the darkness. “Then the driver stopped the ship. I could feel it sort of waiting. It was dark all around outside, but the sun seemed to shine into the ship. I saw the thing take one of the pencil things that he pointed at me, and he pointed it downwards. I thought at that time he must be from the moon and that he was signaling someone down below. “There was no noise from the ship or from the signal.

After about five minutes we started to move again to the right. My first thought was that we were going back to Earth. But I could see the outline of America and Asia and I could see clouds. “The Earth and the moon were going away from me very fast. Then I began to think this was from another planet. “Suddenly another planet seemed to loom up in front of us, and I thought we were going to crash into it. I was sure of this but the driver suddenly stopped it again, but there was no jerk. I realized then we were still quite a way from the planet, and then we started to glide sideways down towards the ground. “I looked out over the land and it looked like paradise. “As we went down I looked over the land, and on one side were red fields. On the other side there were what looked like grey-green fields. Some places in the fields were what looked like big chimneys rising from the ground. It was bright daylight and the sun was shining with no clouds in the sky. “We were approaching the red fields and I could see rivers with blue water in them. The rivers ran straight and at intervals there were bridges built across them and I could see roads. The bridges were just like our bridges. “From up high I could see no sign of life. “Then we glided to a field that was filled with the saucers like I was in. There appeared to be hundreds of them. They were of different colours, grey, gold and silver. But there were no black or red ones. “The driver stopped the ship about a quarter of a mile above them by just pulling a lever. Then we went straight down until we were about 20 or 30 feet from the ground, and he parked the ship on a high platform. “As we went down I could see the same kind of people were in them like my driver. “When we got on the platform the driver pulled a lever and the glass slid back, and he went outside. He put the pencil-like thing to his chest and slowly dropped to the ground like a falling leaf. He then started to walk very fast along to the third or fourth saucer. He pointed the pencil at his chest again and sort of jumped into the ship. He was inside that ship for about ten minutes. I could see that the Thing in the other ship was smaller than the driver of the ship I was on. “While he was inside the ship I looked around at the other saucers and I could see the same type of people.

“Suddenly. Quite a way away I saw two ships that had people from Earth on them. One ship was sort of dirty looking and there was one man, one woman, and two kids on it. In another saucer nearby that kind of golden I saw one man and one woman. “I was going to wave at them but I felt scared. I was waiting for them to wave but they didn’t wave. After I saw them I thought that I would have to stay here with them now. “Down on the ground I could see big red flowers growing. They looked something like our sunflowers. There were some green patches between them. There were flowers as far as the eye could see. The earth could be seen in patches too and it was just the same as our Earth. I got to thinking that I must be on Mars. I remembered what I had learned in school about it being red with canals, and it seemed to me this must be Mars, although I wasn’t 100 per cent sure because I kind of lost location of things when we had left the Moon. “Then the driver of the ship came back from the other ship. He got back inside and closed the door again. Then we took off the same way we had come. We went up and up into the darkness and then I could see a moon that looked like a tin ball. We came quite close to it, and I could see it was smooth and silvery, without any signs of craters on it. “I didn’t know where we going then. I thought we might be going further yet. After about ten minutes, I could see what looked like half our moon and I realized we were approaching the sunny side of Earth. “I was very glad to see that it was the Earth. But we came at it with such a terrible speed that I thought for sure we would crash. The driver stopped the ship again when we seemed to hit the atmosphere, and he glided down towards Earth. I seemed to know he was going to take me back to where he found me, but I had the impression he was going to kill me because he would want to keep it secret. “We came into the darkness and then went down to the ground and I knew we at the same place he picked me up. “I was really afraid he would kill me. He opened the door and took the small pencil thing and pulled me out the door the same way he pulled me in. He guided me right back to the road. At that time I could walk, but I was very light and he was just pulling me. “He took the pencil from my chest and pointed it at my head.

At that moment a dog started to bark at us from about a quarter mile up the road and it seemed to have startled him, because the pencil-thing clicked and nothing happened to me. “I knew from the first experience I should be paralyzed, so I just pretended to be so that he wouldn’t know. He took the plate off my chest and went back to the ship. “I stayed the way I was until I saw the outline of the saucer going off into the distance. Then I ran home. “My wife was still up and she saw me all excited. She asked what had happened and I told her, “Nothing, I’m just sick.” “I couldn’t tell her about the experience because she would have thought I was completely crazy. I noticed the time when I got home and it was 12:20 a.m. The whole trip had taken about an hour. I think when the Thing pointed the pencil at my head it was to make me forget what had happened, or else to kill me, I don’t know which. “I have not told anyone else about this for two reasons. First, no one would ever believe me, and they would want to lock me up as a crazy man. Second. I am sure those people on Mars know everything that is happening here, and if I had told people about it before they would have taken me away again, or killed me. “I’m telling people now in order to help people to know what is going on in space. My heart is bothering me now, and I feel I won’t be living too much longer, so I have nothing to fear from those Martian people.

“From this experience I’ve had, I feel those people’s culture and scientific knowledge is much ahead of ours. They don’t need satellites to launch their spaceships and they have conquered many of the problems of space we are trying to conquer. They seem to power their ships with rays, maybe light rays, but it’s not with motors like ours. “My experience and seeing those other earth people on that planet show me those creatures have a great knowledge of the people here and are much ahead of us. The creature treated me only as an animal. “After that incident I couldn’t stay in that country, and in October of that year I came out to Canada. I have finally felt I want to make this story public. “With two satellites up circling the globe now (1957), maybe a few more people will believe my story. Anyway, I have told you it just as I remember it happening – and it is as clear as yesterday.”

Traduction : " Je travaillais pour l'Armée d'occupation des États-Unis en Autriche. Le 15 mai 1951, j'étais chauffeur pour le QM Colonel Cousin. Il m'a ordonné de conduire M. Haste de Salzbourg à Linz. M. Haste enseignait des cours aux soldats américains à Linz trois fois par semaine.

" Ce jour-là, je suis revenu comme d'habitude de Linz vers 11 heures du soir et suis arrivé à l'usine de moteurs à cinq miles (8 km) au nord de Salzbourg. J'ai commencé à me diriger vers la maison, en laissant la voiture à l'usine de moteur. J'ai pris un raccourci, et sur le côté gauche il y avait une haie. Il faisait sombre, sans lune.

" Soudain, quelqu'un est sorti de la haie et est venu près de moi. Je ne pouvais voir son contour dans l'obscurité, mais il semblait avoir un casque. Il était de ma taille, peut-être un peu plus petit. Il avait quelque chose dans sa main et il le pointa sur moi. Je pensais que c'était son doigt, mais ça a fait un «clic».

" Après le clic, il agita sa main rapidement et j'ai voulu passer mon bras en face de mon visage mais j'étais paralysé. Je me sentais comme tomber, mais je ne l'ai pas fait. Il a mit une plaque carrée noire sur ma poitrine et l'a attachée autour de mon dos. Je pouvais entendre un chien aboyer au loin, mais je ne pouvais pas l'entendre marcher. Il a dû marcher très facilement. Je pouvais voir sa silhouette marcher autour de moi.

" Après avoir attaché la plaque sur moi, il marcha devant moi, et a pointé la chose dans sa main sur la plaque sur ma poitrine plutôt que vers ma tête comme auparavant. Il est reparti et me tira derrière lui. Je ne pouvais pas bouger ou marcher, mais il m'a juste tiré tout du long derrière lui. Je n'étais pas réellement en l'air, mais mon poids n'était pas sur le sol. C'est comme si j'étais léger.

" Derrière la haie se trouvait un petit champ. Sur le terrain, caché de la route, se trouvait un objet autour de 150 pieds de diamètre (50 m.). Il faisait sombre, et je ne pouvais pas dire ce que c'était. Ma première pensée fut qu'un espion m'avait capturé pour une raison quelconque. La chose m'a cueilli comme une sorte de rose du sol et m'a emmené après lui vers le haut de l'objet. Il a fait quelque chose, soit il est intervenu sur quelque chose ou a poussé certains boutons, et une porte s'est ouverte et il m'a tiré après lui vers le bas dans l'obscurité. J'avais très peur et je me demandais ce qui allait arriver. Je suis descendu dans l'obscurité et je pouvais enfin sentir un sol sous mes pieds.

" Je savais que c'était du verre ou du plastique où je me trouvais, parce que les étoiles pouvaient être vues briller en haut. Puis j'ai vu ce qui ressemblait à l'aperçu à une porte, et il m'a tiré à travers, dans ce que j'appris plus tard comme étant une chambre de verre ou de plastique. Il a gardé son doigt, ou ce que je pensais était son doigt, mais j'ai vu plus tard que c'était une sorte d'objet en forme de stylo, pointé sur moi jusqu'à ce que je sois dans la chambre. Il l'a gardé pointé sur moi tout le temps, puis une fois que j'étais dans la chambre, il a pris congé et je me laissa tomber sur le sol. Il est sorti et je pouvais voir sa silhouette. Il y eut une sorte de sensation de secousse, et je su que la porte de la chambre s'était fermée.

" La sensation suivante que j'avais était qu'on s'élevait en l'air. Je n'avais jamais volé de ma vie. En quelques minutes, je pouvais voir la moitié gauche de la lune brillante. J'ai eu peur, mais je pensais que je rêvais. Puis je commençais à sentir mes mains et mes pieds à nouveau. Je me suis assis, et puis je me suis levé sur mes pieds. A ce moment, nous étions dans la lumière du soleil.

" Je regardais à travers le vaisseau et je pouvais voir la personne qui m'avait amené là. Il était debout contre un mur, et il y avait quelques leviers là-bas. Il ressemblait à une personne, comme nous sommes. Un peu plus petit que moi. « Pour moi, à ce moment-là, il ressemblait à un démon. Il n'a pas de cheveux du tout. Je pouvais voir à travers l'espèce de casque en verre. Sa tête avait une sorte de forme de cylindre. Un front très haut, avec de grands yeux. On pouvait voir beaucoup de petits yeux dans les deux grands yeux. Il me semblait que ça avait l'air comme les yeux d'une mouche. Pas de nez du tout, seulement deux trous. Il avait une très petite fente comme bouche. Il se voyait comme s'il avait de la peau, qui était en quelque sorte blanche. Il y avait deux trous pour les oreilles. Son crâne était très grand. Le torse était rond comme une sorte de boîte de conserve. Les jambes étaient d'une longueur proportionnelle. Ses bras étaient un peu plus courts que nos bras, je dirais. Ses mains semblaient être juste trois longs doigts. Je ne pouvais voir aucun cou, mais cela semblait matérialisé comme s'il était comme de l'argent, mais sans briller. Cela couvrait tout de lui, sauf la partie de la tête qui était sous le casque. Il ne me regardait pas du tout.

Une reconstitution d'un "gris", un des "abducteurs" les plus décrits par les enlevés...

" La partie principale du navire que je pouvais voir de la chambre semblait être ronde et les murs étaient comme du verre, mais on ne pouvait pas voir à travers eux. Le sol était fabriqué en matière plastique ou en verre. Au milieu du plancher, sous le verre, il y avait une plaque noire, quelque chose d'identique à ce que je avais d'attaché sur ma poitrine. A partir des coins de la plaque, qui avait l'air d'environ dix pieds carrés (3 mètres ²), des poutres noires couraient sur les murs du navire. Je pouvais voir sous la plaque noire et il semblait y avoir une chambre double de l'autre côté du navire. Je pouvais voir le même genre de leviers sur le mur que comme celui où la chose était debout à côté.

" Dès que nous sommes sortis au soleil, je pu sentir la chaleur brûlante, mais il a tiré un levier, et une couverture comme de l'eau bleue est venue sur le toit. Mais le soleil était normal, et je pouvais encore voir à travers elle. Ma première pensée fut que je rêvais, et puis ma seconde pensée fut que j'étais mort et que mon âme s'élevait. Le navire ne tournait pas ou n'allait pas sur le côté, mais glissait légèrement vers le haut. Je pouvais voir le soleil comme une boule de feu, et la Lune était comme une boule d'argent, mais le reste était obscur. Tout à coup, comme je levai les yeux, la Lune était juste au-dessus de nous et elle semblait descendre sur nous. Tout à coup, nous étions tous deux debout sur ce qui avait été le toit. Il m'a semblé être à environ un quart de mile (400 mètres) au-dessus de la Lune. Je pouvais voir clairement les cratères sur la surface de la lune. Il y en avait beaucoup. Le sol semblait être d'une couleur grisâtre, et je pouvais voir des rochers et des collines. Nous étions dans la partie ensoleillée de la lune. Le navire a glissé vers la droite et dans l'obscurité.

" Ensuite, le conducteur a arrêté le vaisseau. Je pouvais ressentir comme une sorte d'attente. Il faisait noir tout autour à l'extérieur, mais le soleil semblait briller dans le vaisseau. Je vis la chose prendre l'une des choses comme un crayon qu'il m'avait pointé dessus, et il l'a pointé vers le bas. Je pensais à ce moment-là, qu'il devait être de la lune et qu'il faisait signe à quelqu'un en bas. Il n'y avait pas de bruit du vaisseau ou à partir du signal. Après environ cinq minutes, nous avons commencé à nous déplacer à nouveau vers la droite. Ma première pensée était que nous allions vers la Terre. Mais je pouvais voir le contour de l'Amérique et de l'Asie et je pouvais voir des nuages.

" La Terre et la Lune allaient loin de moi très vite. Puis je commençais à penser que c'était une autre planète. Tout à coup une autre planète semblait surgir devant nous, et je pensais que nous allions nous planter dedans. J'étais sûr de cela, mais le pilote s'est soudainement arrêté à nouveau, mais il n'y avait pas de secousses. Je compris alors que nous étions encore assez loin de la planète, puis nous avons commencé à glisser latéralement vers le sol. Je regardai sur le sol et cela avait l'air comme un paradis. Lorsque nous sommes descendus je regardais sur le sol, et sur un côté il y avait des champs rouges. De l'autre côté, il y avait ce qui ressemblait à des champs gris-vert. A certains endroits dans les champs il y avait ce qui ressemblait à de grandes cheminées qui sortaient de terre. C'était la lumière du jour et un soleil brillait sans nuages dans le ciel. Nous approchions des champs rouges et je pouvais voir des rivières avec de l'eau bleue. Les rivières courraient tout droit et à des intervalles, il y avait des ponts construits à travers elles et je pouvais voir des routes. Les ponts étaient comme des ponts (terrestres). De très haut, je ne pouvais voir aucun signe de vie.

" Ensuite, nous glissions vers un champ qui était rempli avec des soucoupes comme celle où je me trouvais. Il semblait y en avoir des centaines. Elles étaient de différentes couleurs, gris, or et argent. Mais il n'y en avait pas de noires ou rouges. Le pilote a arrêté le vaisseau à environ un quart de mile (400 mètres) au-dessus d'elles simplement en tirant un levier. Puis nous sommes allés directement vers le bas jusqu'à ce que nous étions environ à 20 ou 30 pieds (6 à 9 mètres) du sol, et il a garé le vaisseau sur une plate-forme haute. Pendant que nous sommes descendus, j'ai pu voir que le même genre de personnes étaient en elles, comme mon pilote. Quand nous sommes arrivés sur la plate-forme, le pilote a tiré un levier et le verre a glissé en arrière, et il est sorti. Il a mis la chose en forme de crayon vers sa poitrine et est lentement tombé au sol, comme une feuille qui tombe. Il a ensuite commencé à marcher très vite le long de la troisième ou quatrième soucoupe. Il a pointé le crayon vers sa poitrine et a en sorte sauté dans le vaisseau. Il était à l'intérieur de ce vaisseau pendant environ dix minutes. Je pouvais voir que la chose dans l'autre navire était plus petite que le pilote du vaisseau où j'étais. Pendant qu'il était à l'intérieur du vaisseau, je regardais autour les autres soucoupes et je pouvais voir le même type de personnes.

" Soudainement, vers un chemin au loin, je vis deux vaisseaux qui avaient des gens de la Terre en elles. Un vaisseau avait un look poussiéreux et il y avait un homme, une femme et deux enfants à l'intérieur. Dans une autre soucoupe à proximité d'un genre doré, je voyais un homme et une femme. J'allais faire des saluts vers eux, mais je me suis senti effrayé. J'attendais qu'ils fassent des signes, mais ils n'ont pas fait de signes. Après les avoir vus, je pensais que je devais rester ici avec eux maintenant. Poussant sur le sol, je pouvais voir de plus en plus de grandes fleurs rouges. Elles avaient l'air de quelque chose comme nos tournesols. Il y avait quelques taches vertes entre elles. Il y avait des fleurs aussi loin que l'œil pouvait voir. La terre pouvait être vue dans des taches aussi, et c'était tout de la même façon que notre Terre. Je suis arrivé à penser que je devais être sur Mars. Je me suis rappelé ce que j'avais appris à l'école à ce sujet, qu'elle était rouge avec des canaux, et il me semblait que ce devait être Mars, bien que je n'en soit pas à 100 pour cent sûr, parce que j'ai en sorte perdu l'emplacement des choses quand nous avions quitté la Lune.

" Ensuite, le pilote du vaisseau est revenu de l'autre navire. Il est rentré à l'intérieur et referma la porte. Ensuite, nous avons décollé de la même manière que nous étions arrivés. Nous sommes allés jusque dans l'obscurité, puis je pouvais voir une lune qui ressemblait à une boule d'étain. Nous sommes venus très près d'elle, et je pouvais voir qu'elle était lisse et argentée, sans aucun signe de cratères sur elle. Je ne sais pas où nous allions alors. Je pensais que nous pourrions être allé plus loin encore. Après environ dix minutes, je pouvais voir ce qui ressemblait à la moitié de notre lune et je me suis aperçu que nous approchions du côté ensoleillé de la Terre. Je fus très heureux de voir que c'était la Terre. Mais nous sommes arrivés sur elle avec une telle vitesse horrible que je pensais à coup sûr nous crasher. Le pilote a arrêté le vaisseau à nouveau quand il nous a semblé frapper l'atmosphère, et il se glissa vers le bas vers la Terre. Je semblais savoir qu'il allait me ramener à l'endroit où il m'avait trouvé, mais j'eu l'impression qu'il allait me tuer parce qu'il voudrait le garder secret. Nous sommes arrivés dans l'obscurité, puis sommes descendus à terre et je nous savions au même endroit, où il était venu me chercher.

" J'ai eu vraiment peur qu'il allait me tuer. Il ouvrit la porte et a pris la chose petit crayon et me tira par la porte de la même manière. Il m'a guidé jusqu'au retour à la route. A ce moment, je pouvais marcher, mais j'étais très léger et il me tirait juste. Il a oté le crayon de ma poitrine et le pointa sur ma tête. A ce moment, un chien a commencé à aboyer sur nous à environ un quart de mile (400 m) sur la route et il semblait avoir été surpris, parce que le crayon-chose a cliqué et rien ne se passait pour moi. Je savais de la première expérience que je serais paralysé, alors j'ai fait semblant de l'être pour qu'il ne sache pas. Il a pris la plaque de ma poitrine et il est retourné à bord du navire. Je suis resté comme j'étais jusqu'à ce que je voie le contour de la soucoupe partir au loin. Puis je courus à la maison.

" Ma femme était encore debout et elle m'a vu tout excité. Elle a demandé ce qui était arrivé et je lui ai dit: « Rien, je suis juste malade.» Je ne pouvais pas lui parler de l'expérience parce qu'elle aurait pensé que j'étais complètement fou. Je remarquai le moment où je suis rentré et il était 00h20. Tout le voyage avait pris environ une heure. Je pense que quand la chose a pointé le crayon sur ma tête, c'était pour me faire oublier ce qui était arrivé, ou bien me tuer, je ne sais pas quoi. Je n'ai rien dit à personne d'autre à ce sujet pour deux raisons. Tout d'abord, personne ne pourrait jamais me croire, et ils voudraient m'enfermer comme un homme fou. Secondement, je suis sûr que ces gens sur Mars savaient tout ce qui se passe ici, et si je l'avais dit aux gens avant, ils m'auraient pris à nouveau, ou me tueraient.

" Je suis prêt à le dire aux gens maintenant afin d'aider les gens à savoir ce qui se passe dans l'espace. Mon cœur me dérange, et je sens que je ne vais plus vivre très longtemps, donc je n'ai rien à craindre de ces gens martiens. A partir de cette expérience que j'ai eu, je sens que la culture de ces personnes et leurs connaissances scientifiques sont en avance sur les nôtres. Ils ne nécessitent pas de satellites pour lancer leurs vaisseaux spatiaux et ils ont conquis la plupart des problèmes de l'espace que nous essayons de conquérir. Ils semblent alimenter leurs navires avec des rayons, des rayons de lumière peut-être, mais ce n'est pas avec des moteurs comme les nôtres. Mon expérience et de voir d'autres personnes de la Terre sur cette planète me montre que ces créatures ont une grande connaissance des gens d'ici et sont très en avance sur nous. La créature m'a traité seulement comme un animal. Après cet incident, je ne pouvais pas rester dans ce pays, et en Octobre de cette année 1951, je suis venu au Canada. J'ai finalement senti que je voulais rendre cette histoire publique. Avec deux satellites autour du globe maintenant (en 1957), peut-être qu'un peu plus de gens vont croire mon histoire. Quoi qu'il en soit, je vous ai dit juste ce dont je me souviens qu'il s'est passé - et c'est aussi clair que hier ".

Les deux satellites cités au dernier chapitre étaient Spoutnik 1 et 2. Ils ont été lancés par la Russie à l'automne 1957 et ont été les premières créations de l'homme en orbite autour de la Terre et ont inauguré ce qui est venue à être connue comme l'ère spatiale...

Ce tout premier témoignage d'un "abducté", ou d'un être humain non contacté et involontairement amène évidemment certaines réflexions. Le premier réflexe facile, peureux et pas si rationnel que ça est bien sûr de nier le tout en bloc et de dire que cette histoire est une pure invention du rédacteur en chef de ce journal canadien, qui a voulu rebondir quelques mois après sur le lancement des Spoutniks russes. Pas très rationnel car on ne voit pas comment ce journaliste se serait soudainement découvert un grand talent d'auteur de science-fiction, en plus fortement inspiré et ayant des connaissances manifestes des anciens textes sacrés égyptiens, hindoux, aztèques hébraïques, sumériens, car ce voyage ressemble fortement à un voyage initiatique (et muet) vers un univers d'une autre dimension, avec la même apposition d'une "clé" porteuse de connaissances ou de "pouvoirs" sur la poitrine et le front... Ce témoignage nous ramène à l'évidence devant (et la contradiction est là) la réalité plusieurs fois démontrée de l'existence d'une déformation de notre physique et "matérialité" de notre univers conscient. Celui dont l'être humain pense avoir une certaine conscience figée et commune, partagée par tous et donc démontrée de facto par cette communauté de perception. Ce genre de témoignage, qui rejoint les témoignages religieux, mythologiques et légendaires avec leurs parts d'irréalismes et "d'impossibilités" physiques et cartésiennes, est assez précisément ce qui caractérise souvent les perceptions des êtres humains confrontés à ce genre de phénomène, qu'ils vivent réellement et bien physiquement...

Et le fait que ce genre de témoignage soit assez rare en final (même si sur la durée de la civilisation humaine, ils se multiplient) est bien décrit et expliqué par le témoin lui-même : la peur du ridicule ou d'être prit pour de la folie. On note aussi que les "contactés" ou "enlevés" ont très rarement tiré quelque chose de positif de leur volonté de témoignage... tout comme les "saints" ou ceux qui ont voulu témoigner de leurs perceptions "étranges" dans le passé, ils se retrouvent la plupart du temps "lapidés" réellement ou pratiquement selon leur époque...

Alors oui, tout comme Jung a affirmé la réalité d'une étrange et anormale synchronicité dans la destiné des êtres humains (et il y a probablement un lien avec les phénomènes étranges de ces perceptions de la conscience humaines), j'affirme que la réalité humaine n'est pas seulement celle qui est partagée par l'ensemble des consciences humaines (ce monde matériel que nous voyons et expérimentons tout au long de notre existence sur ce plan de réalité), mais que cette réalité déborde largement le cadre de nos connaissances des lois physiques, et qu'elle peut se révéler sans prévenir et sans raison connue à nos perceptions individuelles, non préparées à son existence aussi large (et donc en contradiction avec notre apprentissage "banal" de la réalité commune) tant dans le panel des fréquences d'ondes que celui de la matière. Nous savons que nos sens sont incomplets (nos oreilles, nos yeux, notre sens du toucher ou des odeurs même, etc... ne nous permettent pas de percevoir toute la réalité de notre propre univers !), y compris par rapport à certains animaux, mais nos progrès scientifiques dans les domaines des ondes, mais aussi des particules en ce qui concerne la matière, nous le démontrent de plus en plus, prouvant que notre réalité est forcément fausse, ou tout au moins fortement incomplète...

Vouloir être foncièrement "rationnel", ou "zététicien" et même simplement sceptique, cartésien, dans un univers prouvé comme étant en partie faux, incomplet, non connu en finalité dans sa réalité totale (car sinon les accélérateurs de particules sont de l'escroquerie !) ne relève-t-il pas en fait tout aussi bien de la folie ? Ou tout au moins ayant une volonté de limiter les progrès humains et la seule chose qui l'a fait évoluer tout au long des siècles : son imagination, sa curiosité, sa volonté de vouloir se projeter dans le futur et l'inconnu ? Le simple fait de vouloir absolument "prouver" certaines choses dans un monde qui n'est lui-même prouvé qu'en partie n'est-il pas "castrateur" et erroné en soit ? Par exemple, le fait que nous ne connaissions que la Vie de la planète Terre devrait impliquer que seule la vie terrestre existe ? La Vie est-elle un phénomène improbable ou tout au contraire un phénomène naturel et même inéluctable ?

Déjà, scientifiquement, les débats sur la probabilité de l'apparition de la Vie, sur la Terre ou même ailleurs dans l'univers, ne sont pas clos... Si on écoute le spécialiste Jacques Monod, l'apparition de la vie est un phénomène hautement improbable : la molécule contenant la structure de l'ADN n'est pas seulement un problème, c'est une énigme incroyable. Le biochimiste Francis Crick, découvreur de cette structure, a même disserté sur un véritable "miracle", avec même sa "solution" : la vie a été importée de l'espace, par des extra-terrestres ! (ce qui ne fait que déporter le problème ailleurs selon le généticien Albert Jacquard). Par contre, ceux qui pensent que la vie est répandue partout dans l'univers (c'est actuellement la théorie "majoritaire" parmi les scientifiques), soulignent la rapidité de son apparition sur la Terre : on a découvert des fossiles d'algues bleues très primitives, imprimés dans des roches vieilles d'au moins 3.5 milliards d'années. Mais le problème est que non seulement on ne comprend toujours pas l'apparition des premières molécules géantes de la vie (les protéines et les acides nucléiques - l'ADN et l'ARN et leur synthèse naturelle), mais il y a aussi un long chemin inconnu pour expliquer l'apparition des premières cellules organisées, sans compter le problème épineux de l'évolution des êtres vivants d'un état "simple" à un état "complexe"... Le biologiste Michael Denton a résumé ces problèmes de l'apparition puis de l'évolution de la vie dans son livre devenu célèbre : " Evolution. Une théorie en crise ", qui suggère de fait un dépassement du cadre théorique actuel, comme l'a fait d'ailleurs la physique avec la physique quantique au 20ème siècle...

Comment Michael Denton décrit la complexité de la Vie a surpris tous ceux qui ne sont pas familiers avec les microscopes, mais c'est une réalité à ne jamais oublier : Une cellule vivante compte dans les dix mille milliards d'atomes. Si on pouvait l'agrandir jusqu'à une taille de 20 kilomètres de diamètre (les atomes auraient alors la taille d'une boule de billard), " on découvrirait alors un objet d'une complexité et d'une finalité adaptative sans pareil ". A sa surface, on verrait des millions d'accès s'ouvrant et se fermant pour laisser passer un flux continu de matériaux entrant et sortant. A l'intérieur, on contemplerait un monde d'une complexité ahurissante : réseau de couloirs et de canaux allant dans toutes les directions, " certains conduisant à la banque de mémoire centrale du noyau, d'autres aux unités de traitement et d'assemblage. Le noyau lui-même serait une vaste chambre sphérique de plus d'un kilomètre de diamètre, semblable à un dôme géodésique ; à l'intérieur, on discernerait des kilomètres de chaînes torsadées de molécules d'ADN bien empilées en rangées ordonnées ". Denton développe ainsi une vision de ces " étranges machines moléculaires " qui impose avec force l'idée qu'elles n'ont pu se manifester par hasard, comme le voudrait la théorie classique de l'évolution appliquée à l'apparition de la vie. L'idée de hasard extrême, soutenue par Jacques Monod, est selon Denton notoirement insuffisante pour justifier cela. Denton n'est pas pour autant un "créationniste", car il suggère une autre piste : " Les systèmes vivants pourraient posséder une propriété, une caractéristique nouvelle, encore inconnue, qui pourrait avoir joué un rôle dans l'évolution. Qui aurait cru, il y a quelques années, que les oiseaux sont sensibles au champs magnétique terrestre ? "... Denton en rajoute en citant d'autres domaines encore inexpliqués de la biochimie, tels que l'embryologie, la morphogénèse (ou croissance des formes), le fonctionnement du cerveau, la nature de la conscience... y compris le sujet principal du livre, la théorie de l'évolution de Charles Darwin (1859), dont les conceptions peuvent être résumé ainsi : " la variabilité des individus au sein d'une espèce et la sélection naturelle des plus aptes à vivre et à se reproduire ".Il s'agit donc d'un processus d'évolution graduelle, à petits pas, qui a été complété au 20ème siècle avec les mutations génétiques qui se produisent au hasard, et surtout par la recombinaison des gènes lors de la reproduction. Dans cette théorie, l'évolution est donc hasardeuse et progressive, et elle est illustrée par de nombreux exemples bien réels. Mais il y a tout de même un gros problème car cette théorie darwinienne, si elle explique assez bien la " micro-évolution " au sein d'une espèce ou entre deux espèces voisines, en revanche, la " macro-évolution " semble procéder par sauts rapides, en contradiction complète avec la théorie. En fait, Darwin était lui-même très conscient du problème : " L'imagination doit combler de très grands vides ".

L'étude des fossiles confirme ce problème : il y a une cruelle pénurie de formes transitoires (à part quelques rares exceptions) entre les principaux groupes d'organismes vivants, comme si le monde vivant était discontinu. Depuis Darwin, les paléontologistes n'ont cessé de chercher des " chaînons manquants ". Or, souligne Michael Denton, si " les roches n'ont cessé de livrer des formes de vie nouvelles, fascinantes, voire bizarres, jamais elles n'ont rapporté aucune des myriades de formes de transition invoquées par Darwin ". Cette constatation fort embarrassante était devenue " le secret professionnel de la paléontologie ", selon le mot du paléontologue Stephen Jay Gould. Ce dernier a d'ailleurs proposé, avec son collègue Eldredge, une autre théorie que celle de Darwin, dite " des équilibres ponctués ", ou le saltationnisme, selon laquelle les nouveaux types d'organismes surgiraient soudainement, par larges sauts évolutifs. Mais cette théorie, même si elle a maintenant la faveur de beaucoup de spécialistes, ne rapporte pas l'unanimité non plus. Car si les intervalles mineurs, du type chien/renard ou rat/souris sont ainsi explicables, il n'en est rien des passages d'une grande branche à une autre, ni de l'apparition d'organes hautement complexes, comme l'oeil ou l'aile de l'oiseau par exemple, sans transition, prêts à l'emploi, en quelque sorte...

Le grand neurologue, Sir John C. Eccles, spécialiste du cerveau et prix Nobel de médecine, va plus loin encore, car il n'accepte la théorie sur l'évolution que jusqu'à un certain point. Il montre du doigt ses limites dans l'émergence de la conscience, une autre énigme qu'il présente dans son livre " Evolution du cerveau et création de la conscience ". " je me concentrerai sur l'événement le plus extraordinaire dans le champs de notre expérience, à savoir l'avènement de chacun de nous en tant qu'être autoconscient unique. C'est un miracle à tout jamais au-delà des possibilités d'explication de la science ". " Puisque les solutions matérialistes sont incapables d'expliquer notre expérience d'unicité, je me sens contraint d'attribuer l'unicité du moi (ou de l'âme) à une création spirituelle d'ordre surnaturel. Pour m'exprimer en termes théologiques : chaque âme est une "création divine" nouvelle implantée dans le foetus à un moment compris entre la conception et la naissance ". Selon Eccles, l'explication du tout, c'est la théorie classique de l'évolution, mais elle ne suffit pas, il faut y ajouter le surnaturel. Mais pour la majorité des biologistes actuels, il faut écarter tout autant l'idée de hasard extrême que celle d'intervention surnaturelle à répétition. Selon Martin Olomucki, professeur au Collège de France, le passage de la chimie à la biologie est un processus inéluctable. " L'histoire de la vie sur la Terre nous permet de l'affirmer, même si l'on ne sait pas encore tout expliquer ". Pour le physicien Bernard d'Espagnat, les découvertes de la physique quantique - théorie fondamentale de la physique actuelle, établissant la dualité entre les ondes et les particules - ne sont pas limitées aux particules élémentaires : " Les conclusions de la physique quantique microscopique doivent s'imposer aussi à tous les niveaux macroscopiques ". Ceci promet de futurs bouleversements en matière de biologie... Déjà, certains comme Jean Dorst ou Marco Schutznberger parlent de notions de finalité et de programme pour expliquer la vie. Brian Goodwin et Rupert Sheldrake se lancent sur une toute nouvelle théorie, dite " théorie des champs morphogénétiques " qui pourrait expliquer, selon eux, la façon de comment se formerait un corps vivant et comment il maintiendrait cette forme pendant toute son existence. Une nouvelle conception qui rejoindrait certains travaux mathématiques et les postulats de la physique quantique...

OVNIs : les premiers enlèvements modernes -1 - PART II

OVNIs : les premiers enlèvements modernes -1 - PART II

Tout ceci pour dire que, dans l'étude du phénomène OVNI, tout comme probablement dans l'étude de certains phénomènes paranormaux (phénomènes étant très probablement à l'origine de certaines légendes, mythes et écrits religieux/ésotéristes/spirituels du passé, présent et futur), il ne faut jamais perdre de vue le fait que, via la conscience (humaine mais aussi animale dans certains cas) associée à notre perception limitée de la réalité qui nous entoure, ce phénomène a la possibilité (volontairement ou involontairement) d'influencer partiellement ou totalement son environnement physique et psychique, c'est à dire la façon dont il est perçu par son ou ses témoins. S'agit-il d'un pan de la "physique" ou des "systèmes d'informations" universels que nous ne connaissons pas encore, bien qu'il interagit en permanence avec notre réalité (le sommeil - cette grande partie de notre existence où nous ne semblons pas interagir avec notre environnement - en faisant largement partie d'une façon qui reste à déterminer (ondes du sommeil)) ?

Ainsi, dans ce premier témoignage d'enlèvement, on retrouve évidemment les connaissances du témoin à son époque (les canaux de Mars par exemple) qui tente, consciemment ou non, de faire coller ce qu'il voit avec "sa réalité" : vouloir faire coïncider l'improbable avec les connaissances et le "possible" est en fait une caractéristique de la conscience humaine, afin de préserver au mieux son intégralité : c'est plutôt en faveur de la réalité de ce témoignage (mais ça ne prouve pas pour autant la réallité de tout ce qui a été perçu, bien sûr !)... mais il y a bien " quelque chose " qui se manifeste, à la limite de la réalité physique et spirituelle de l'univers de l'Humanité, et ce depuis... peut-être toujours, ou depuis l'avènement de ce qu'on appelle la vie consciente...

Bien sûr, le plus simple et le plus facile, le plus aisé, est comme toujours de jouer à l'autruche et de se cacher la tête sous l'aile... et d'affirmer que rien n'existe en-dehors de ce que nos pauvres yeux limités peuvent voir et comprendre...

Oregon UFO distorts air crossing property at four feet

Oregon UFO distorts air crossing property at four feet

An Oregon witness at Lebanon reported watching a fast-moving object crossing his property just four feet off of the ground that created a water-like distortion in the air, according to testimony in Case 77679 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his wife were outside on July 14, 2016, when the object crossed their property just four feet off of the ground.

The event occurred on July 10, 2016, and was reported to MUFON on July 14, 2016.

“Something traversed between my wife and I about four feet off the ground that made an unidentifiable noise and the speed of which was extraordinarily fast,” the witness stated.“Neither of us place any credence in ‘aliens among us’ or visitations.”

The witness believes the physics against such things are irrefutable.

“My career was in astronomy on top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. My wife was a banker and accountant.”

The object created a distortion in the air that seemed like looking through water.

The object somehow created a distortion.

“Whatever it was created a distortion in the air between us for an instant. We live in a suburban area and our residence is surrounded by a fir forest. To the right of me from whence ‘it’ came is a 150-meter-tall hill about 50 meters away which we also own. Aside from the noise of the event there was absolutely no report one might ascribe to the discharge of a fire arm. Our area is for the most part dead quiet. If it were a bullet, etc., ‘it’ would have to be able to climb a 150-meter-tall hill, go over the top, and then descend to our level and go absolutely parallel to the ground between us.”

The witness hesitated to report the event.

“I have been reluctant to report this because of my own core beliefs, however, one of my friends encouraged me to do so anyway. I have a home observatory (a Meade 12-inch LX200) and do a lot of observing and hunting for NEOs. I have yet to see anything unexplainable either here or on top of Mauna Kea. Having said that, the event my wife and I witnessed not only frightened us, but left us with profound curiosity as to its origin. The distortion in the air between us looked as if we were looking through water. The noise was subtle, but unlike anything we have ever heard. I own guns and know a ricochet when I hear one. Am I alone in this?”

The object also emitted a noise that the witness was not able to identify.

Ancient Aliens – Destination Mars
History Channel, Season 11, Episode 2
13th May 2016

Antarctica is Earth’s most remote and least explored continent. It is buried under as much as three miles of ice in some places, but recent satellite imagery has revealed what appear to be the tops of man-made pyramids scattered throughout the ice-covered landscape. But how is that possible? Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest that an ice-free Antarctica may have been colonized by extraterrestrials in the remote past, until a global catastrophe plunged it into the ice age. Is there a greater history on the continent than what mainstream scholars suggest? Scientists have reported strange magnetic anomalies radiating from beneath the ice, the Nazis allegedly made secret expeditions to the continent in search of a lost civilization, and government whistleblowers have come forward with claims of strange sightings. Perhaps hidden beneath the ice of this frozen continent lies the truth about our extraterrestrial origins.

An Ancient Device Too Advanced to Be Real Gives Up Its Secrets at Last

An Ancient Device Too Advanced to Be Real Gives Up Its Secrets at Last

Though it it seemed to be just acorroded lump of some sort when it was found in a shipwreck off the coast of Greece near Antikythera in 1900, in 1902 archaeologist Valerios Stais, looking at the gear embedded in it, guessed that what we now call the “Antikythera mechanism” was some kind of astronomy-based clock. He was in the minority—most agreed that something sosophisticated must have entered the wreck long after its other 2,000-year-old artifacts. Nothing like it was believed to have existed until 1,500 years later.

In 1951, British historian Derek J. de Solla Price began studying the find, and by 1974 he had worked out that it was, in fact, a device from 150 to 100 BC Greece. He realized it used meshing bronze gears connected to a crank to move hands on the device’s face in accordance with the Metonic cycle, the 235-month pattern thatancient astronomers used to predict eclipses.

Live Science

By 2009, modern imaging technology had identified all 30 of the Antikythera mechanism’s gears, and a virtual model of it was released.

Nature Documentaries

Understanding how the pieces fit goes together confirmed that the Antikythera mechanism was capable of predicting the positions of the planets with which the Greeks were familiar—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—as well as the sun and moon, andeclipses. It even has a black and white stone that turns to show the phases of the moon. Andrew Carol, an engineer from Apple, built a (much bigger) working model of the device using Legos to demonstrate its operation.

John Pavlus

In June of 2016, an international team of experts revealed new information derived from tiny inscriptions on the devices parts in ancient Greek that had been too tiny to read—some of its characters are just1/20th of an inch wide—until cutting-edge imaging technology allowed it to be more clearly seen. They’ve now read about 35,00 characters explaining the device.

Petros Giannakouris/Associated Press

The writing verifies the Antikythera mechanism’s capabilities, with a couple of new wrinkles added: The text refers to upcoming eclipses by color, which may mean they were viewed as having some kind of oracular meaning. Second, it appears the device wasbuilt by more than one person on the island of Rhodes, and that it probably wasn’t the only one of its kind. The ancient Greeks were apparently even further ahead in their astronomical understandingand mechanical know-how than we’d imagined.

This is an awesome catch of a UFO moving across the moon. This UFO is made up of several tangles and you can see from the close up. The UFO moves slowly, but seems to be in Earths orbit, not actually on the moon. It could be a giant satellite, but its seems way too big to be a satellite, they should be 25% this size, so its probably alien. Great video by UFOvni2012 of Youtube.

This UFO was found by UFOvni2012 of Youtube by using the the free Helioviewer online site. Its a great site, and easy to use. This is a really big UFO near our sun.

You can see the Earth scale beside it that Helioviewer provides. So this UFO is about the size of our moon. There is a giant trail behind it, and I wonder if anyone at NASA even knew about it, or are they too busy with other things to notice it? Wow, just a really strange shape, but it clearly a ship and its leaving some kind of trail. It must take a lot of force to move a moon size ship. This is more evidence that ships do enter and exit our sun.

This is really strange. A second UFO researcher has died just a week apart from another mysterious death of a UFO and paranormal researcher in India. It does seem that UFO researchers are now being targeted, probably to slow the rate of information being leaked to the public. It looks like the murders are not limited by boarders. Clearly UFO researchers are getting the public very close to disclosure, so close, that the only way to back off for a few decades is to murder the top UFO researcher and instill fear of the lower ones. Its not working on me, so good luck with f#$%ed up plan.
Scott C. Waring

Project Camelot states:
UPDATE: THIS DEATH IS VERY SUSPICIOUS. I NOW HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE A COVERUP IS IN MOTION.

Both the doctor who examined Max and Police who came to the villa… Left the body behind in spite of the fact that they believed Max had died. What kind of officials do this? The entire circumstances are suspicious and I urge everyone to encourage Monica to release the details about what really happened to the public and call for an autopsy.

There is another interview with Max Spiers that was conducted in person by Alesander. It contains very clear indication that Max Spiers was being attacked and sick from the time he returned from Cyprus.

KERRY CASSIDY, PROJECT CAMELOT

******

We heard from Miles Johnston while still at our conference that Max Spiers had been taken very ill Saturday evening and has apparently died. There is reason to suspect that he was murdered due to his background as a “supersoldier” and because of the sudden nature of his illness. We are hoping an autopsy will be performed. According to Miles Johnston who has been in close touch with the friends where Max was staying while attending and speaking at a conference in Poland, his death may have had something to do with pills that he was taking but more investigation needs to be done.

Former Canadian Chief Of Emergency Measures UFO Confession On Deathbed

Former Canadian Chief Of Emergency Measures UFO Confession On Deathbed

Paul Hellyer ufo

Former Canadian Minister of Defence, Paul Hellyer, says that he knows an astonishing story from former Canadian Chief of Emergency Measures. Mr. Hellyer shared the claim to a panel of UFO/alien investigators during the Hearing on ET Disclosure in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.

Mr. Hellyer said in jest that he could ask the current chief of emergency measures on the workings of an alien spacecraft.

UFO expert Mr. Hellyer, who claimed to have found proof of alien visitations while in the office, told the panel that he interviewed the previous chief of emergency measures. The former chief, who is now deceased, reportedly told Hellyer that he went to Langley and the CIA asked if he would like to see one of the alien vehicles.

According to Mr. Hellyer, the CIA flew this former chief to Area 51 and allowed him to go inside, observe, and make notes of this UFO.

Conspiracy theorists have long insisted that Area 51 housed evidence of alien visitations on Earth as it secretly held it from the public eye. Among the secret pieces of evidence are the remains of the alleged 1947 Roswell Incident where an apparent UFO crash landed.

Area 51 has long been existing, but the American government denied it for years and only confirmed its existence in 2013.

Mr. Hellyer further revealed that the former chief had to sign an oath of secrecy. During the chief’s life, he kept it secret and did not tell anyone even his wife. However, when he was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease, he confessed everything about the government UFO secret to Hellyer, who was the Canadian Minister of Defence from 1963 to 1968 and a deputy prime minister in 1969.

Vijf ongelofelijke dingen die we dankzij New Horizons weten over Pluto

Vijf ongelofelijke dingen die we dankzij New Horizons weten over Pluto

Een jaar geleden scheerde Nasa-ruimtesonde New Horizons langs Pluto en voorzag die ons van de eerste gedetailleerde beelden van de ijzige dwergplaneet en zijn manen. Wat hebben die unieke beelden ons het afgelopen jaar geleerd?

Data van het ruimtevaartuig komen nog steeds binnen. De laatste ‘lading’ zal de aarde pas aan het eind van het jaar bereiken. De eerste resultaten laten al zien dat de planeet verbazingwekkend anders in elkaar steekt dan we hadden verwacht. Hier volgen vijf nieuwe inzichten over Pluto en zijn manen.

Wazige lagen

Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI

Toen New Horizons aan Pluto voorbij vloog, wierp het ruimtevaartuig een blik naar achteren. Vanuit dat perspectief verlichtte het zonlicht de wazige, verrassend hoge atmosfeer van de dwergster.

‘Het gigantische verticale bereik van de waas, en de laagvorming, waren twee dingen die we niet hadden verwacht’, zegt Randy Gladstone van het Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio in Texas. De waas strekt zich uit over meerdere honderden kilometers de lucht in en bevat tientallen verschillende banden. Er zijn zelfs aanwijzingen voor de aanwezigheid van afzonderlijke wolken.

De lagen zijn relatief stabiel, zegt Gladstone. Die stabiliteit zou te danken kunnen zijn aan de structuur van de deeltjes waaruit de waas bestaat. Men denkt dat het samengeklonterde stofkluitjes zijn, gevormd als een bosje druiven. Zo zijn ze ‘pluiziger’ dan losse stofdeeltjes, wat mogelijk zou verklaren waarom ze langer blijven zweven.

Chaotisch terrein

Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI

Voor de vlucht waren onderzoekers niet zeker over hoe het oppervlak van Pluto eruit zag. Sommigen dachten dat het er uit zou kunnen zien als het oppervlak van een biljartbal, zegt Hal Weaver van de Johns Hopkins-universiteit in Baltimore in de VS.

‘Een van de dingen die ik graag wilde doen, was Pluto transformeren van een kleine, pixelige ‘blob’, naar een echte planeet met complexiteit en diversiteit’, zegt Weaver. ‘Wat we zagen, was boven onze verwachtingen.’

Pluto’s chaotische terrein is veel gevarieerder dan verwacht. Er zijn vulkanen die ijzig water spuwen in plaats van lava, maar ook uitgestrekte, relatief gladde vlakten, zoals de informeel gedoopte ‘Sputnik Planum’, omringd door bergen van ijs.

Jong oppervlak

Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI

Het gladde oppervlak van de Sputnik Planum – het linkerdeel van Pluto’s beroemde ‘hart’, de zogeheten Tombaugh Regio – suggereert dat het relatief jong en actief is, in ieder geval op een planetaire tijdschaal. Onderzoekers schatten dat het gebied minder dan 100 miljoen jaar oud is, en misschien nog veel ‘jonger’ dan dat.

De Sputnik Planum wordt gedomineerd door kolkende, veelhoekige vormen van bevroren stikstof. Ze zijn elk ongeveer twintig kilometer in doorsnee en worden gedreven door de hitte van de planeetkern. Het is het resultaat van de oppervlaktetemperatuur van Pluto, met -233 graden Celsius (40 Kelvin) de optimale omstandigheid voor stikstof om zowel vast, vloeibaar als gasvormig aanwezig te kunnen zijn, zegt Weaver.

Charons Grand Canyon

Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI

Niet alleen Pluto zelf, maar ook de manen werden door New Horizons onder de loep genomen. Op foto’s van Charon, Pluto’s grootste maan, is een gigantische kloof te zien die zich uitstrekt over de evenaar.

Volgens de sonde is de kloof minstens 1800 kilometer lang en 7,5 kilometer diep. ‘De Grand Canyon is er niks bij’, zegt Weaver. Onderzoekers denken dat de kloof ontstaan is toen een oceaan onder de oppervlakte van Charon bevroor en uitzette, vlak na het ontstaan van de maan.

In een botsing geboren

Bron: NASA/JHUAPL/SwRI

We wisten weinig over Pluto’s andere manen – Nix, Hydra, Styx en Kerberos – voor New Horizons het systeem langs vloog. Afbeeldingen van de kleine hemellichamen gemaakt door de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop leken op kleine lichtgevende speldenknopjes, zegt Weaver.

‘We hadden geen idee hoe groot ze waren, of hoe reflectief hun oppervlak was’, zegt hij. ‘Maar dankzij New Horizons weten we dat nu wel.’

De data laat zien dat de manen veel helderder zijn dan andere, typische objecten in de Kuipergordel, het buitenste gebied van ons zonnestelsel waar Pluto zich in bevindt. Het doet vermoeden dat de manen voornamelijk bestaan uit ijs en dat ze waarschijnlijk ontstaan zijn in dezelfde botsing die ook Pluto en Charon vormde. De manen werden dus niet pas na het ontstaan van de dwergplaneet aangetrokken.

Waar nu heen?

Bron: NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Southwest Research Institute/Steve Gribben

New Horizons is Pluto al meer meer dan 400 miljoen kilometer gepasseerd, maar hiermee is de taak van het ruimtevaartuig nog niet voltooid. Nasa kondigde eerder deze maand aan dat het vaartuig op 1 januari 2019 ook voorbij een ander hemellichaam in de Kuipergordel zal vliegen.

Het nieuws van de officiële goedkeuring van de verlenging van de missie was een leuk verjaardagscadeau, zegt Gladstone. Voor nu zal het team verder gaan met het analyseren en interpreteren van de data die het ruimtevaartuig al verzameld heeft. Dat is een taak die mogelijk meer tijd in beslag neemt dan de rest van de missie, zegt hij. ‘Ik denk dat studenten hier nog decennia mee bezig zullen zijn.’

'Extinct' Volcano Near Rome Rumbles to Life

'Extinct' Volcano Near Rome Rumbles to Life

By Stephanie Pappas, Live Science Contributor

Colli Albani, a volcanic complex outside Rome, was thought to be extinct, that is, until it showed signs of activity.

Credit: Fabio Florindo

A volcano outside Rome, long thought extinct, is rumbling to life. But don't panic: The volcano isn't likely to blow its top for at least another 1,000 years.

Colli Albani is a volcanic complex of hills located 19 miles (30 kilometers) from the center of Rome. There are no historical records of eruptions from Colli Albani, so it was long thought to be extinct, according to the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Now, researchers have reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters that Colli Albani just doesn't erupt that often. In fact, it enters an eruptive phase every 31,000 years or so.

A team of researchers, led by volcanologist Fabrizio Marra of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome, used ground-based observations of rising land, earthquake swarms and steam vents alongside satellite data to track Colli Albani's recent activity. An analysis of rocks from the volcano revealed a history of past eruptions, the most recent of which occurred 36,000 years ago. [The 11 Biggest Volcanic Eruptions in History]

Now, the ground underneath the volcano is inflating, rising at a maximum of about 0.08 inches (2 millimeters) per year in areas where steam vents are emerging, Marra and his colleagues reported. During the past 200,000 years, the area has risen by about 164 feet (50 meters) in elevation, they found. This suggests that magma is entering fractures beneath the volcano, they said.

The reason for the change has to do with the subsurface geology of Colli Albani, Marra told the AGU. Until about 2,000 years ago, the surrounding land held together a fracture under the volcano, preventing magma from bubbling to the surface. More recently, however, the subsurface stresses have changed so that the rock on one side of the fracture is moving and sliding against the rock on the other side, according to the AGU.

So far, these changes have manifested in a swarm of earthquakes around Rome that lasted from 1991 to 1995. Another sign was a small fumarole, or steam vent, that appeared in a road near Rome's Fiumicino airport in 2013.

Given its 31,000-year cycle, Colli Albani is arguably overdue for an eruption, but the volcano won't unexpectedly blow its top, Marra told the AGU. It likely won't build up enough pressure for an explosive eruption for at least 1,000 years. Even then, Romans can expect plenty of warning, Marra said, as an explosive eruption would be preceded by initial stages of moderate volcanic activity.

Latest SpaceX Mission Could Help Us Find DNA-Based Life in Space

Latest SpaceX Mission Could Help Us Find DNA-Based Life in Space

The SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon spacecraft lift off on the CRS-9 mission.

Credits: NASA/Frank Michaux

IN BRIEF

SpaceX recently sent a host of material to the International Space Station. After the successful launch, their rocket nailed its landing (again). Now, astronauts are preparing to unpack a host of interesting tech.

https://youtu.be/Z7ADMA1eRFQ

THE DRAGON’S ROAR

At 12:45 a.m. EDT on July 18, the sky lit up over the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida with the launch of the SpaceX Commercial Resupply Services-9 (CRS-9) mission. The Dragon cargo craft flew through the clouds toward the ISS on a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket. Dragon will arrive at the ISS at about 7 a.m. EDT Wednesday morning (July 20), according to NASA officials.

SpaceX Launch. By Pepper Yandell

Approximately 2.5 minutes after liftoff, the Falcon 9’s first stage separated and performed a series of engine burns to head back to Cape Canaveral. At 12:53 a.m. EDT, the booster successfully touched down just miles south of the launch pad, as intended. A sonic boom could be heard as the craft reentered the atmosphere, followed by cheering from everyone watching from the causeway.

SpaceX pulled off its fifth rocket landing in the last seven months. But it won’t be hanging out on the launch pad or the Vehicle Assembly Building for long. At the post launch briefing, Hans Koenigsmann, SpaceX’s vice president of mission assurance, said “from what I can see, [the rocket is] in excellent shape, and probably pretty soon ready to fly again.”

Nailing the landing (quite flawlessly, we might add) was not the only great thing about this launch, though. Astronauts aboard the ISS can expect almost 5,000 pounds of new hardware and experiments in this delivery.

So what exactly did NASA put in their latest care package?

DNA Sequencing in Your Pocket

Wallace showing off the sequencer. Futurism/Marquart

Perhaps one of the most exciting items has to do with our very own DNA. Before this handy tool, DNA testing aboard the space station required collecting samples and returning them to Earth. NASA’s Biomolecule Sequencer Investigation will test a new device that will allow DNA sequencing in space for the first time. The samples in the first test will be DNA from a virus, a bacteria, and a mouse. When NASA microbiologist, Sarah Castro-Wallace, showed it off pre-launch on NASA TV, she pulled it right out of her pocket.

The miniature device has the potential to do more than just sequence DNA.

It can also sequence other biomolecules such as RNA and proteins. It can even identify microbes, diagnose diseases, and evaluate crew member health, and even (someday) help detect DNA-based life elsewhere in the solar system. One of the best parts? It’s powered by a tablet that’s already on the ISS via USB connection.

Oh, and it was built all in 10 months and is commercially available off the shelf.

“This could be huge in the exploration of other planets.” NASA

A NEW STANDARD: THE INTERNATIONAL DOCKING ADAPTER

The first of two international docking adapters (IDAs) being sent to the ISS will allow commercial spacecraft to dock to the station when transporting astronauts in the near future. Part of the Commercial Crew Program, this 1,000-pound metallic ring represents the first on-orbit element built to the docking measurements that are standardized for all the spacecraft builders across the world.

The first users are expected to be the Boeing Strainer and the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, which are both now in development.

NASA

One of the best parts about the IDA is that it is designed to work with automated guidance systems on arriving spacecraft, so they can safely dock to the station with little, if any, crew intervention. The station’s robotic arm will retrieve the IDA from the unpressurized trunk of the Dragon. Spacewalkers will complete the installation of the adapter in August.

DOES THE ISS HAVE AC?

NASA

The goal of the Phase Change Material Heat Exchanger (PCM HX) project is to regulate internal spacecraft temperatures. Inside this device, NASA is testing the freezing and thawing of material in an attempt to regulate temperature on a spacecraft. This phase-changing material (which has the consistency of a mineral oil) can be melted and solidified at certain high heat temperatures to store and release large amounts of energy.

Rubik Sheth, project manager, explains how the goal is to study thermal control around the Moon:

“We’re going back to the Moon. We’re going to go back out of LEO (low Earth orbit), and we’re going to try to do things that we haven’t done in a very long time.”

The focus of the investigation is NASA’s multipurpose crew vehicle, the Orion that’s headed toward the Moon. The Moon provides a very harsh environment. It’s of upmost importance to make sure the astronauts are safe and comfortable.

YOUR SKELETON IN MICROGRAVITY

OsteoOmics is an experiment that will investigate the molecular mechanisms that dictate bone loss in microgravity. It does this by studying osteoblasts, which form bones, and osteoclasts, which dissolve bone. New ground-based studies are using magnetic levitation equipment to simulate gravity-related changes. Bruce Hammer, professor at the University of Minnesota Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, showed a video showing bugs (ants, spiders, and a grasshopper) navigating this faux microgravity environment.

This experiment hopes to validate whether this method accurately simulates the free-fall conditions of microgravity. Results from the study could lead to better preventative care or therapeutic treatments for people suffering bone loss on Earth and in space.

HUMAN HEART CELLS ON THE ISS

Screen Shot 2016-07-18 at 8.19.31 PM

The goals of the Effects of Microgravity on Stem Cell-Derived HeartCells investigation include increasing the understanding of the effects of microgravity on heart function, the improvement of heart disease modeling capabilities, and the development of appropriate methods for cell therapy for people with heart disease on Earth.

Pretty much every system is affected by the microgravity environment. But we know very little about what happens at a tissue cellular molecular level, says Peter Lee, assistant professor of surgery at Ohio State University.

Using induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs) means that the research team can produce heart cells without performing surgery on a patient. The team will be sending the cells to the ISS for one month. Astronauts will be looking at changes in gene expression, beating rate, and cell shape and size.

You can watch the full video covering what’s on board the SpaceX dragon here. Dragon isscheduled to depart the space station Monday, Aug. 29. After splashdown in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, more than 3,300 pounds of science, hardware, crew supplies, and spacewalk tools will be returned to shore.

Russian 6th-Gen Fighter Jet To Fly With Swarms of Protector Drones

Russian 6th-Gen Fighter Jet To Fly With Swarms of Protector Drones

IN BRIEF

Russian's sixth-generation fighter jet will operate in conjunction with drone swarms armed with electromagnetic cannons, an official said.

SQUAD GOALS

It may still be 10 years before Russia’s sixth-generation fighter jet will be ready but officials say that the aircraft will have its own swarm of drones flying beside it.

Vladimir Mikheev, an adviser to the deputy head of Radioelectronic Technologies Concern — part of the Moscow-based state corporation Rostec — said the fighter jet will be unveiled in 2025.

With a supersonic speed of about 4-5 Mach, the unmanned aircraft will be able to enter near space and reenter the atmosphere in a designated spot, hundreds of kilometers away from the place of the original entry.

Image source: Defense Tech

YOU CAN’T FLY WITH US

Pilots will be assigned a drone to command depending on their rank. “Depending on the status, he [the pilot] is given several subordinate drones,” Mikheev says. “They, in their turn, understand –– they must protect, for example, lieutenant Petrov. But if colonel Ivanov is in the cockpit, the number of subordinate drones should be more, and so forth.”

The drone aircraft will also be equipped with high-frequency electromagnetic cannons — too powerful for manned aircraft to operate without hurting pilots — designed to knock out enemy radio signals from a distance of about six miles.

MEANWHILE, IN THE U.S.

The U.S., in parallel, is also working on sixth-generation fighter designs after the introduction of the Lockheed Martin Corp.-made F-22 Raptor and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter fifth-generation aircraft, the latter of which is still in development.

But rather than create a single sixth-gen platform capable of overcoming today’s threats — cyber, electronic attack, anti-satellite, surface-to-air — the Air Force has signaled an interest in trying to develop new weapons such as directed energy and hypersonic missiles that can be installed on updated aircraft.

Fishing for Space Junk: Europe's Wild Idea to Clean the Cosmos

Fishing for Space Junk: Europe's Wild Idea to Clean the Cosmos

By Samantha Mathewson, Staff Writer |

Using a specialized capture mechanism, the European Space Agency (ESA) plans to lasso a large, abandoned satellite drifting through space and pull it down to burn up in the atmosphere.

The e.DeOrbit mission, part of the agency's Clean Space Initiative, is designed to capture an ESA-owned satellite that is in low orbit around the Earth but no longer functioning. If all goes according to plan, a capture mechanism — such as a robotic arm, net or harpoon — will latch on to the target in 2023 and bring it down to where it can safely burn up in Earth's atmosphere, ESA officials said in a statement. You can see a video on how the space junk cleaner works here.

However, reeling in such a large piece of space junk is no easy feat. There are several challenges that ESA scientists will have to tackle: They will have to identify the fast-moving target, find a safe and secure way to chase it down and capture it, and synchronize orbital paths with the satellite to bring it down into Earth's atmosphere in a controlled manner. [7 Wild Ideas to Clean Up Space Junk]

"While the concept is straightforward, the implementation is not — e.DeOrbit will be like nothing ESA has ever attempted before," Robin Biesbroek, ESA's study manager, said in the statement. "The chaser satellite requires extremely sophisticated guidance, navigation and control to synchronize motion and then capture its target, guided, in turn, by advanced image processing, blending inputs from optical and multispectral cameras as well as 'laser radar' lidar to derive a precise, reliable sense of the target and its motion."

After decades of space exploration, there are an estimated 29,000 human-made objects larger than 10 centimeters (4 inches) orbiting Earth, increasing the risk of catastrophic collisions, ESA officials said in a video unveiling the target of the e.DeOrbit mission.

Earlier this year, ESA demonstrated the concept of capturing an abandoned satellite by shooting a net at a drone.

"In addition, e.DeOrbit needs a reliable method of capturing its target," Biesbroek said. "We are now looking at a net, harpoon or gripper, as well as advanced robotics to secure the two satellites together. Finally, the satellite also requires a very high level of autonomy, because continuous real-time control from the ground will not be practical, especially during the crucial capture phase."

Initiatives to capture and remove dead, abandoned space junk become even more essential as the number of space launches per year continues to increase. The ESA video said a 1-cm (2.5 inches) piece of space debris could "strike a working satellite with the force of a hand grenade," which, in turn, could cause a subsequent cascade of collisions and harm any new satellites being launched into space.

Russia Launches Robotic Supply Ship to International Space Station

Russia Launches Robotic Supply Ship to International Space Station

An unmanned Russian cargo ship launched to the International Space Station on Saturday (July 16) on a mission to deliver three tons of food, supplies and fuel to the orbiting laboratory.

The resupply ship Progress 64 launched into orbit atop a Soyuz rocket at 5:41 p.m. EDT (2141 GMT) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, where the local time was early Sunday morning. Progress 64 will journey for two days in space before arriving at the space station on Monday night (July 18). You can watch Progress 64 arrive at the space station here, courtesy of a NASA webcast. Docking is set for 8:22 p.m. EDT (0022 July 19 GMT).

Progress 64 is one of two cargo ships launching this weekend in near back-to-back flights. On Monday (July 18), as the Russian craft is en route to the station, the U.S.-based spaceflight company SpaceX will launch an unmanned Dragon cargo ship carrying a cornucopia of science experiments and gear as part of a resupply deal with NASA.

SpaceX's Dragon will launch to the space station at 12:45 a.m. EDT (0445 GMT) on Monday from a pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. It will arrive at the orbiting lab early on Wednesday (July 20), with NASA webcasting the subsequent docking.

Traditionally, Russia’s Progress launches are welcomed by the astronauts because they carry a few items that astronauts miss on Earth, such as fresh fruit. Since the International Space Station does not have a fridge to store food, most of the things astronauts eat must be shelf-stable (like tortillas) or rehydrated.

The launches also replenish the space station's stock of freeze-dried food and coffee, and provide supplies for the space station's toilets, filters and other areas that might need replacing. A Progress spacecraft typically remains at the space station for about six months and departs with a load of trash of up to three tons. The spacecraft then burns up in the Earth's atmosphere.

The Progress line of disposable automated spacecraft have flown more than 140 flights in three decades. Only two of these spacecraft have not reached their destination, including one Progress flight in 2015. That flight reached Earth orbit, but spun out of control before flying on to the space station. It eventually burned up in the atmosphere.

Progress is one of a small fleet that supplies the International Space Station. The other main providers are two private companies — SpaceX (which flies Dragon spacecraft) and Orbital ATK (which flies Cygnus spacecraft) — as well as Japan's H-2 Transfer Vehicles. The European Space Agency also flew five supply missions to the space station using its own Automated Transfer Vehicle.

SETI Seeks Ideas to Hunt Strange Alien Life-Forms

SETI Seeks Ideas to Hunt Strange Alien Life-Forms

By Elizabeth Howell, Discovery News

The SETI Institute's Allen Telescope Array in California seeks out radio transmissions from hypothetical aliens. Is there another way?

Credit: Colby Gutierrez-Kraybill/Wikimedia Commons

In one of Carl Sagan's last books, he noted that astronomy has brought humanity to a series of "great demotions." Simply put: When we first observed the night sky, we thought the Earth was in the center of the universe. Over time, as he described in Pale Blue Dot, we tried out other theories as the criteria fit: Maybe the sun is at the center of the universe? Perhaps we're in an important part of the galaxy?

We now know the Earth is in the suburbs of the Milky Way, and our solar system is only special because we live in it, but this series of demotions shows us one thing: it's easy to project our image on to the universe. This is especially true when searching for life. Because there is only one case of life as we know it -- life on Earth -- it's easiest to look for life like ours. But in reality our kind of life may not be the most common type to look for after all.

A new paper in Astrobiology is asking the astronomy community to help the SETI Institute. (SETI stands for "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.") With more data on exoplanets coming in from the Kepler space telescope, and 50 years of space and SETI observations behind us, the hope is new tools can emerge to improve the search for life.

"A key concept is the one of cohabitation of life and environment ... Each planet is a unique planetary experiment, and if we are starting to model these environments, then we can start to figure out what kind of diversity is out there," author Nathalie Cabrol, the SETI Institute's senior research scientist and director of the Carl Sagan Center, told Discovery News.

One example she suggests in her paper is looking for an element that is in disequilibrium in a planet's atmosphere. (In other words, if scientists see a lot of silicon in an atmosphere that physics predicts would have little, perhaps that could show silicon-based life there.) The advantage is the aliens wouldn't necessarily have to be sending out signals for us to find, she added.

A recent blog post from the SETI Institute's Seth Shostak highlighted this fact for Earth, pointing out our oxygen signature has broadcast life for more than two billion years.

Indeed, much of astrobiology itself is built on assumptions. Scientists commonly speak of a "habitable zone" for planets, based mostly on where Earth is located in our own solar system. Exoplanet biology is also compared with our own, such as when instruments for Mars are tested here based on their abilities to find Earth microbes.

Radio and optical searches, she added, are still the best tool we know of for searching given our known physics of the universe. But she does point out in the paper that the SETI Institute has been focused on the endpoint of the famous Drake equation -- how many communicating civilizations there are -- rather than "trying to understand or quantify the processes taking place within each of the factors's [for life] that lead to the next."

Even Frank Drake himself, she added, said his equation was not aimed to look for microbes or non-communicating species.

Cabrol said the goal of her paper -- which she emphasized is just a single data point, open to discussion and dispute from other astronomers -- is not to necessarily say these ideas are wrong. Instead, her hope is that after the SETI Institute organizes a workshop next year to explore these issues, that astronomers may have a better idea about where to point their telescopes.

Il pilote plusieurs drones en même temps par la pensée !

Il pilote plusieurs drones en même temps par la pensée !

Aux États-Unis, des chercheurs de l'université de l'Arizona travaillent sur un système de contrôle par ondes cérébrales qui permet de piloter simultanément quatre drones. Soutenus financièrement par l'armée américaine, ils comptent perfectionner leur technologie avec, à terme, l’ambition de pouvoir manœuvrer une centaine d’appareils.

- Marc Zaffagni, Futura-Sciences

Les chercheurs de l’université d’État de l’Arizona ont découvert que notre cerveau est capable de gérer des groupes d’objets distincts du corps et que cette activité cérébrale spécifique est exploitable pour contrôler plusieurs drones simultanément. © Arizona State University

Il y a quelques mois de cela, Futura-Sciences vous parlait d’une course de drones un peu particulière, la Brain-Drone Race. Organisée par des chercheurs et étudiants de l’université de Floride (États-Unis), elle opposait 16 concurrents munis de casques EEG (électroencéphalographie) détectant l’activité électrique du cerveau ; chacun devait piloter un drone jusqu’à une ligne d’arrivée. Grâce à une interface neuronale, le casque EEG détectait l’activité électrique du cerveau liée à la pensée d’une action et transmettait la commande à l’appareil par liaison sans fil. Assurément impressionnant. Pourtant, il y a encore plus fort…

À l’université d’État de l’Arizona, un chercheur s’attelle en effet à contrôler non pas un, mais plusieurs drones en même temps. Panagiotis Artemiadis travaille depuis 2009 sur les interfaces cerveau-machine. Il y a quelques années, il a commencé à s’intéresser à la possibilité de contrôler plusieurs appareils en même temps. Une idée qui a beaucoup intéressé la Darpa, l’agence de recherche et développement de l’armée américaine, laquelle a décidé de financer ces travaux.

Techniquement, le dispositif est identique à celui utilisé pour la Brain-Drone Race, avec un casque EEG doté de 128 électrodes qui enregistre l’activité cérébrale correspondant à la pensée d’une action. Un ordinateur acquiert ce signal tandis qu’un autre le traite avant d’envoyer la commande finale au drone via une liaison sans fil Bluetooth. La technologie repose sur une cartographie de l’activité cérébrale, afin de savoir exactement quelle zone du cerveau correspond à quelsmouvements. L’interface neuronale peut alors détecter la zone en question et transmettre la commande afférente.

L’une des pistes envisagées pour exploiter cette interface neuronale est de créer des groupes hybrides de drones et de robots terrestres pour des missions de sauvetage. © Arizona State University

Un système développé avec des pilotes de chasse de l’US Air Force

Ce qu’a découvert Panagiotis Artemiadis, c’est que le cerveau est capable de s’adapter pour gérer les comportements collectifs d’objets qui sont dissociés du corps. « Nous savons dans quelle partie du cerveau nous pouvons enregistrer ces signaux et ce qu’il faut y chercher pour décoder ces comportements collectifs pour des véhicules aériens et des groupes de robots », explique le chercheur. Les travaux ont été menés en collaboration avec des pilotes de chasse de l’US AirForce.

À l’heure actuelle, un opérateur peut ordonner à un groupe de drones ou de véhicules terrestres de se déplacer dans une certaine direction, de s’éparpiller ou encore de tourner autour d’une cible spécifique. Le dispositif est en revanche très exigeant. Les pilotes ne doivent pas relâcher leur concentration un instant car la fatigue, le stress et même la faim ont une incidence. De plus, comme chaque utilisateur est différent, l’interface neuronale doit être calibrée individuellement et ce calibrage doit se faire à chaque nouvelle session.

Pour le moment, le système permet de contrôler trois à quatre drones mais le professeur Artemiadis et son équipe ont l’ambition d’arriver rapidement à une vingtaine d’appareils, et même ensuite une centaine. Le second objectif est de travailler sur une configuration hybride dans laquelle des drones et des véhicules terrestres seront coordonnés via une interface neuronale pour accomplir certaines tâches. « On peut commander aux quadricoptères de venir se poser sur des engins terrestres pour se recharger ou bien pour remettre des informations que l’on ne veut pas transmettre par une connexion sans fil », précise le chercheur.

L’un des scénarios évoqués est d’utiliser cette combinaison pour des missions de secours mais l’intérêt de la Darpa n’est évidemment pas anodin dans la perspective d’un usage militaire.

À découvrir en vidéo autour de ce sujet :

Romanian General Describes Encounter With Reptilian Beings

Romanian General Describes Encounter With Reptilian Beings

Romanian general reveals an intriguing story about reptilian beings seen right outside a public area.

There’s a conspiracy theory claiming that important political figures worldwide are nothing but disguised reptilian humanoids that secretly govern the unsuspecting human civilization. These allegations are based on several discoveries of huge underground cities in various regions of the globe, but also on local legends, cave paintings and recently an important statement coming from a high rank official.

Retired General Emil Strainu, a key figure of the Romanian army, author of a few interesting books relating facts about humanity’s “forbidden history,” spoke about a bizarre sighting involving a reptilian-like being present in a public area. He has widely discussed about this unusual meeting at relevant esoteric events throughout the world.

General Strainu strongly believes in the existence of reptilian extraterrestrials hidden in huge underground metropolises, but doesn’t want to reveal more on this topic. “I’m not going any further on this subject!” said the General.

To make his unusual story known, he contacted Aryan Hava, author of “Inuaki, the reptilian within me,” a two volumes work illustrating known and unknown facts about reptilians. The story describes a peculiar event lived by a good friend of his, who encountered two reptilian creatures near the Retezat Mountains in the Carpathians.

Driving back from a short vacation, the man decided to pull over a nearby gas station to refuel. As he got out of the car, he saw a khaki Hummer with dark windows parked right near the gas station with the engine running. He found this strange, as it was between 5:00 and 5:10 AM, and no one was on the road at that time of day and near the wilderness of the Carpathians.

The man paid for the gas and as he walked back to his SUV, he noticed the front door of the Hammer was opened, moment when he peaked inside out of curiosity and saw a reptilian being covered in green scales and nothing on except a pair of military boots. After the frightening appearance, the man rushed to his car, but not before having another glance at the unusual creature. They made eye contact for a brief moment before he stepped on the gas and ran out of there.

His friend requested to remain anonymous since he’s also an influential politician involved in the Romanian state’s affairs. After the incident, he went directly to General Strainu and spat out what had just happened. According to the general, the man was extremely credible when he narrated the story. His eyes looked as if telling the truth and he gave many details and possible meanings or misinterpretations. The man was certain of what he saw.

As for General Strainu, we can only trust his word, as an ex-official who had access to numerous classified documents involving out of place archaeological discoveries and events suppressed by the communist state in the past.

Among these imposing achievements, he is Advisor of the Romanian Parliament on unconventional issues and asymmetrical threats, Director of the Special Situation and Research Center on UFOs and Psihotronics, Founder of the Association for the Study of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomenon, and at least as important as those mentioned, author of several esoteric books.

General Emil Strainu remains a trusted source, and his disclosures are well-received in the UFO community. He advocates for people knowing the truth about the real history and about how extraterrestrials govern our species from the shadows. He doesn’t go much into details except for the paranormal seminars where he feels free to disclose even more. His reserved attitude adds even more to the credibility of the story.

Are reptilian extraterrestrials among us? If this is really the case, we are going to find out in the future when they’ll reveal themselves to us once more.

Contactee Claims our Moon is Artificial and Was Brought Here from Another Galaxy

Contactee Claims our Moon is Artificial and Was Brought Here from Another Galaxy

Contactee Alex Collier claims our Moon is actually the interstellar transport ship that was brought here from a distant solar system. It contained an experiment run by the grey aliens and their reptilian masters: our genetically-engineered ancestors.

Fluke or not, most Sci-Fi writers proved to be quite visionary, if not somewhat prophetic. The book “Letters from Andromeda”, the brainchild of Job Robinson and Alex Collier describes a telepathic conversation with alien beings originating from the Andromeda Galaxy. An ancient being called Moraney from the constellation Zenetae, transmitted important information to Collier, questioning the lies spread in our history books.

The Andromedan exposed the deceitful way humans are being ruled, the lies that govern our every day lives without our consent or even awareness. We are being told nothing about the real concerns of real life, much less about what is actually happening in our Solar System.

Moraney’s biggest revelation pertained to mankind’s true history and a secret base on the Moon. Earth’s satellite carried a vital role in our genesis, but far from any way we have been taught so. The Moon was brought from the constellation Ursa Minor – 432 light years from Earth – to serve as a transport ship for reptilians, human-reptilian hybrids and the first generation of human ancestors to descend on Earth. Our moon made its way in our galaxy dragged by an asteroid that is believed to cross our galaxy every 25,000 Earth years.

THIS IS HOW COLLIER DESCRIBED ANDROMEDANS

Moraney also revealed that our Moon once orbited the 17th planet of the Chowta star system, home of the Andromedans. What we see today of the Moon, are in fact the remains of a 6.2 billion years-old cosmic vestige called Maldek, a reminder of the ancient war between the tyrannical Grey aliens of the Orion Empire.

According to the information passed on to Collier by the Andromedan, we are here because we were brought here by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization surpassing our Sun in age.

To sustain this daring theory, we need to address speculation. Rumors have it that on the surface of the Moon, lunar missions detected the presence of some unknown chemical compounds, and that discovery was entirely covered up. Collier had his restraints on this matter, but Moraney’s telepathic communication confirmed all doubts:

“The Moon is hollow. It contains huge underground facilities built by E.T.’s and later humans from Earth. There are seven openings into the Moon’s crust, and the underground bases. Conservative scientists have wondered why so many craters seem so shallow, despite their size. The Andromedans say, it’s because much of the surface was built on top of a metallic shell of a circular space crest; or “A War Carrier”, as the Andromedans describe it.”

The craters on the Moon are a solid hint to a trained eye, for their depth does not match a straying cosmic body, but a uniform shape pressing against the layers of lunar dust and rock, but since we are alone in this galaxy, who is responsible for the so called craters? The answer comes from the Andromedan, who tells of cities and spacecraft hangars located on the far side of the Moon, that were destroyed in a war over 113,000 years ago, leaving behind the marks visible from our planet.

The Greys guided the first exploration mission of these ruins back in 1950, when a team of NSA (not NASA!) astronauts allegedly delved into a lunar underground facility the size of New York, right underneath the Jules Verne crater. Inside the facility they found the remnants of a violent battle, seeing pieces of reptilian bodies scattered all over the place.

“When the Apollo astronauts landed on the moon, the World Order had been there for some time,” Collier wrote. This knowledge and technology was withheld from the lower levels of NASA and our military. NASA has been used as a blind to keep people from truly knowing what was going on there. The astronauts were silenced under threats and remain so today.”

Since then, the World Government maintained a lunar population program starting with 36,000 handpicked people. The colony is estimated to reach 600,000 occupants in the near future.

The leaders of the entire operation are the Greys, but they rarely interfere directly, but rather carry their messages through a group called the Black Monks. Originally human, the Black Monks have been radically modified to serve the Greys’ needs and can “no longer be considered Earth humans.”

The step below in the hierarchy are a group called the Blue Moon, who serve the Black Monks, comprised of American, British, Russian and French representatives. These groups operate and control the moon bases and under their command are two organizations: Alpha One and Alpha Two. Collier had reasons to believe that Alpha One was assigned with gathering resources on Earth and keeping the population unsuspecting.

The Andromedan Moraney told Collier that Alpha Two is actually MJ-12, the infamous organization tasked with recovering and investigating alien craft. If this is true, the organization we believe to be in charge of such covert projects is actually at the bottom of the ladder, and said ladder runs much higher than we previously thought.

To this day, Collier’s allegations have yet to be proven but completely rejecting their implications would be unwise.

The far side of the Moon is forever hidden from view and even if a number of alien bases were located there, we wouldn’t be able to spot them from Earth. But Alex Collier is pretty adamant about his enlightenment and the forbidden knowledge he was blessed with by the Andromedans.

Wetenschappers hebben opnieuw meer dan honderd planeten gevonden in andere stelsels. Daarmee is inmiddels het bestaan van bijna 3.400 planeten aangetoond. Bovendien zijn er nog duizenden potentiële planeten.

De sterrenkundigen zagen bij de ster K2-72 vier planeten die mogelijk rotsachtig zijn, zoals de aarde. Ze zijn 20 tot 50 procent groter dan de aarde en staan dichter bij hun ster dan Mercurius bij de zon. Toch sluiten de onderzoekers niet helemaal uit dat er leven mogelijk zou kunnen zijn.

De zogeheten exoplaneten - planeten bij andere sterren dan de zon - zijn gevonden met de ruimtetelescoop Kepler en met telescopen in onder meer Hawaï en Chili. De nieuwe ontdekkingen verschenen in The Astrophysical Journal.

Could this strange corpse be the world's first proof aliens have visited Earth?

Could this strange corpse be the world's first proof aliens have visited Earth?

PARANORMAL investigators are calling for DNA tests to be carried out on a bizarre corpse that some believe could be the world's first alien dead body on Earth.

By JON AUSTIN

The bizarre

Brian Forsester*YouTube

The bizarre "creature" said to have been found in a jar.

With its tiny winged frame and reptilian face, the "dead alien" has all the hallmarks of an elaborate hoax, but some alien investigators believe it could be the real deal.

Author Brian Foerster claims to have found the unusual winged small humanoid corpse in a specimin jar in an office in Mexico earlier this year.

Claims are now being made in a video clip online that X-rays carried out on the "dead body" have shown a skeletal structure inside, leading to calls for further analysis, including DNA tests.

But there have been claims the clip entitled "What is this weird creature with wings in this jar?" could be an online money spinner, because the clip promotes a website where viewers have to pay to see the full documentary.

In a promotional blurb for the video clip, Mr Foerster wrote: "I saw this very odd animal in an office in Mexico City in January of 2016.

"As a trained biologist I have a hard time thinking it is fake.

“What do you think?"

In the clip, which appear to be highlights from a longer documentary, LA Marzulli, an author and filmmaker, is seen investigating the discovery.

He meets with Mexican paranormal journalist Jamie Maussan, who says: "It is a hybrid, and that is something very important, because i believe these are confidential experiments, and why I don't know.

"But we have a physical body. We can analyse that physical body and prove that something, an intelligence, is behind these experiments."

But we have a physical body. We can analyse that physical body and prove that something, an intelligence, is behind these experiments.

Mr Marzulli is then seen with an unnamed man in a white lab coat with glasses, who viewers would assume was a scientist.

He says: "It has wings. We have an X-ray of this creature and we can see the structure of the bones.

Mr Marzulli asks him: "So this is not a hoax, because an X-ray would show if it was a puppet or a mould?"

The man replies: "No, it is not a hoax. It is not a mould."

UFO blogger Scott C Waring, of ufosightingsdaily.com, is very excited, referring to it as a fairy, and would like to see DNA testing carried out.

He wrote: "Here is an interesting creature that was caught in Mexico and placed in a jar in a museum.

"It is well known that aliens could be any shape and size, even of tiny insect size with genius IQs.

"Intelligence has no limits. This discovery in Mexico of this fairy is very human-like in appearance, and does look real.

"I wish we could get a DNA analysis of this creature to back it up."

There have been a number of historic claims of alien creatures being found in the past, when mysterious corpses were produced.

Further tests have found them to be complete hoaxes, or made using the corpses of various earthly animals literally stitched together.

VIDEO: Vreemd ‘wezen’ met vleugels houdt gemoederen bezig

De resten van een vreemd gevleugeld wezen in een pot houden de gemoederen op internet sterk bezig. Schrijver Brian Foerster claimt eerder dit jaar in een kantoorruimte in Mexico op de resten te zijn gestuit.

Er zijn röntgenfoto’s van het wezen gemaakt, maar men wil nu ook DNA-onderzoek gaan doen. “Ik ben opgeleid tot bioloog en kan me haast niet voorstellen dat dit nep is,” schreef Foerster onder beelden van het vreemde wezen. “Wat denken jullie?”

De Mexicaanse journalist Jaime Maussan reageert: “Het is een hybride. Dat is erg belangrijk omdat ik denk dat er geheime experimenten worden gedaan. We hebben hier een fysiek lichaam. We kunnen dat fysieke lichaam analyseren en bewijzen dat er een intelligentie achter deze experimenten zit.”

Daarop verschijnt schrijver L.A. Marzulli in beeld, die een man in een laboratoriumjas interviewt over het vreemde wezen. “Het heeft vleugels. We hebben een röntgenfoto van dit wezen en we kunnen de botstructuur zien,” zei de man. “Het is dus geen hoax.”

I'm sure you have wondered what it would be like to have direct contact with an alien being. What would you say? How would you react? Would it give you the experience you wanted, or would it just create more questions for you? I'm sure others have had experiences, and probably are nervous to talk about it. I hope this video convinces you its ok to talk about it.

Video states:

“Contact” experiences range from the 3-Dimensional physically tangible kind to more subtle, out-of-body consciousness experiences that have been described by some as more “real” than reality itself. The sliding scale of experiences are 3D to 4D and perhaps beyond that. Some contact experiences have been described as invasive and upsetting, but much more often than that people describe feeling a sense of expansion in awareness and purpose after these consciousness expanding events. For the very first time sharing her story publicly on EMN, Tracey talks about her “contact” experience that was witnessed by her friend at home in Washington State. Tracey is presently an honors student of interdisciplinary social sciences with a focus in psychology and international studies, hailing from a professional background in gaming and design from an industry leading gaming company. Most specially, Tracey is an “experiencer/ contactee” and explorer of consciousness. We encourage anyone with ‘contact’ or ‘abduction’ experiences to reach out to Earth Mystery News via email and we can explore them more fully.

Knowledge of the Forever Time: Ancient Aliens 200,000 Years

Ancient Aliens

It is believed by science that the oldest knowledge that we can find in recorded human history here on Earth points to primitive man and cave paintings. But what if we discovered that hidden within those cave paintings is a sophisticated ancient alien system for tracking and navigating star constellations for interstellar space travel? Further study suggests that this prehistoric history recorded on stone also contain screams of fear and desperation that tell us how our world will end. New evidence reveals another story of pre-historic high technology and an extraterrestrial connection to our ancient past. And, believe it or not, it tells us how to save ourselves from an impending doom. And in the end we are led to the Nazca Lines of Peru and the exhistance of Stargates and wormholes that hold the key to interstellar travel that may be within our grasp. The question you may need to ask yourself is, if you could understand these advanced ancient alien messages from our pre-historic past, what would you do?

7 Bizarre Ancient Cultures That History Forgot

7 Bizarre Ancient Cultures That History Forgot

By Stephanie Pappas, Live Science Contributor

INTRO : Long-Lost Cultures

The ancient Egyptians had their pyramids, the Greeks, their sculptures and temples. And everybody knows about the Maya and their famous calendar.

But other ancient peoples get short shrift in world history. Here are a handful of long-lost cultures that don't get the name recognition they deserve.

7. The Silla

The Silla Kingdom was one of the longest-standing royal dynasties ever. It ruled most of the Korean Peninsula between 57 B.C. and A.D. 935, but left few burials behind for archaeologists to study.

One recent Silla discovery gave researchers a little insight, however. The intact bones of a woman who lived to be in her late 30s was found in 2013 near the historic capital of the Silla (Gyeongju). An analysis of the woman's bones revealed that she was likely a vegetarian who ate a diet heavy in rice, potatoes or wheat. She also had an elongated skull.

Silla was founded by the monarch Bak Hyeokgeose. Legend held that he was hatched from a mysterious egg in the forest and married a queen born from the ribs of a dragon. Over time, the Silla culture developed into a centralized, hierarchical society with a wealthy aristocratic class. Though human remains from the Silla people are rare, archaeologists have unearthed a variety of luxurious goods made by this culture, from a gold-and-garnet dagger to a cast-iron Buddha to jade jewelry, among other examples held at the Gyeongju National Museum in South Korea.

6. The Indus

The Indus is the largest-known ancient urban culture, with the people's land stretching from the Indus River in modern-day Pakistan to the Arabian Sea and the Ganges in India. The Indus civilization persisted for thousands of years, emerging around 3300 B.C. and declining by about 1600 B.C.

The Indus, also known as the Harappans, developed sewage and drainage systems for their cities, built impressive walls and granaries, and produced artifacts like pottery and glazed beads. They even had dental care: Scientistsfound 11 drilled molars from adults who lived between 7,500 to 9,000 years ago in the Indus Valley, according to a study published in 2006 in the journal Nature. A 2012 study suggested that climatic change weakened monsoonal rains and dried up much of the Harappan territory, forcing the civilization togradually disband and migrate to wetter climes.

5. The Sanxingdui

The Sanxingdui were a Bronze Age culture that thrived in what is now China's Sichuan Province. A farmer first discovered artifacts from the Sanxingdui in 1929; excavations in the area in 1986 revealed complex jade carvings and bronze sculptures 8 feet (2.4 meters) tall.

But who were the Sanxingdui? Despite the evidence of the culture's artistic abilities, no one really knows. They were prolific makers of painted bronze-and-gold-foil masks that some archaeologists believe may have represented gods or ancestors, according to the Sanxingdui Museum in China. The Sanxingdui site shows evidence of abandonment about 2,800 or 3,000 years ago, and another ancient city, Jinsha, discovered nearby, shows evidence that maybe the Sanxingdui moved there. In 2014, researchers at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union argued that at around this time, a major earthquake and landslide redirected the Minjiang River, which would have cut Sanxingdui off from water and forced a relocation.

4. The Nok

The mysterious and little-known Nok culture lasted from around 1000 B.C. to A.D. 300 in what is today northern Nigeria. Evidence of the Nok was discovered by chance during a tin-mining operation in 1943, according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Miners uncovered a terra-cotta head, hinting at a rich sculptural tradition. Since then, other elaborate terra-cotta sculptures have emerged, including depictions of people wearing elaborate jewelry and carrying batons and flails — symbols of authority also seen in ancient Egyptian art, according to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Other sculptures show people with diseases such as elephantiasis, the Met said.

Contributing to the mystery surrounding the Nok, the artifacts have often been removed from their context without archaeological analysis. In 2012, the United States returned a cache of Nok figurines to Nigeria after they were stolen from Nigeria's national museum and smuggled into the U.S.

3. The Etruscans

The Etruscans had a thriving society in northern Italy from about 700 B.C. to about 500 B.C., when they began to be absorbed by the Roman Republic. They developed a unique written language and left behind luxurious family tombs, including one belonging to a prince that was first excavated in 2013.

Etruscan society was a theocracy, and their artifacts suggest that religious ritual was a part of daily life. The oldest depiction of childbirth in Western art — a goddess squatting to give birth — was found at the Etruscan sanctuary of Poggio Colla. At the same site, archaeologists found a 4-foot by 2-foot (1.2 by 0.6 meters) sandstone slab containing rare engravings in the Etruscanlanguage. Few examples of written Etruscan survive. Another Etruscan site, Poggio Civitate, was a square complex surrounding a courtyard. It was the largest building in the Mediterranean at its time, said archaeologists who haveexcavated more than 25,000 artifacts from the site.

2. The Land of Punt

Some cultures are known mostly through the records of other cultures. That's the case with the mysterious land of Punt, a kingdom somewhere in Africa that traded with the ancient Egyptians. The two kingdoms were exchanging goods from at least the 26th century B.C., during the reign of the pharaoh Khufu (the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza).

Strangely, no one really knows where Punt was located. The Egyptians left plenty of descriptions of the goods they got from Punt (gold, ebony, myrrh) and the seafaring expeditions they sent to the lost kingdom. However, the Egyptians are frustratingly mum on where all these voyages were headed. Scholars have suggested that Punt may have been in Arabia, or on the Horn of Africa, or maybe down the Nile River at the border of modern-day South Sudan and Ethiopia.

1. The Bell-Beaker Culture

You know a culture is obscure when archaeologists name it based on its artifacts alone. The Bell-Beaker culture made pottery vessels shaped like upside-down bells. The makers of these distinctive drinking cups lived across Europe between about 2800 B.C. and 1800 B.C. They also left behind copper artifacts and graves, including a cemetery of 154 graves located in the modern-day Czech Republic.

The Bell-Beakers were also responsible for some of the construction at Stonehenge, researchers have found: These people likely arranged the site's small bluestones, which originated in Wales.

WATCH: Most clear and shocking video footage of a UFO you will EVER see

WATCH: Most clear and shocking video footage of a UFO you will EVER see

A SHOCKING video that shows a "crystal clear" UFO allegedly caught on a dash cam is being looked at by paranormal investigators.

By JON AUSTIN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmVok-w2t7g

The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) has been sent a 19-second long clip said to have been filmed in Nairobi, Kenya, African, this month.

One of the biggest complaints about alleged UFO footage is that the clips are often blurred, out of focus, or filmed from too far away.

But in the video sent in to MUFON, there is bio mistaking the flying saucer that roars over the remote road.

The footage, which has been branded a CGI hoax by many viewers, begins with someone seen filming in one of the the rear view mirrors of the vehicle.

It is overcast and raining, and the quality of the recording itself is quite poor.

Who is he? The cameraman (right) and a finger pointing out the giant saucer (left).

Then a finger is seen to point out of the window and towards the top-right of the screen.

Judging by what is implied is about to pass over head, the cameraman remains very calm and silent.

At 11 seconds in an aeroplane-like noise is heard before a huge classic movie-style flying saucer flies over the road as if descending to land.

It goes out of view again beyond trees and undergrowth at 13 seconds, before the noise changes to an echoing boom before stopping.

If it were not a fake, it would be the most sensational UFO video captured to date.

MUFON investigator Peter Davenport

MUFON, based in the USA, is the world's largest organisation dedicated to the investigation of alien abductions and UFO sightings and footage.

But the organisation has previously admitted that it does get inundated with hoax footage by pranksters and other individuals, which in some cases have to undergo initial assessment, tying up investigators.

The organisation accepts that this is one of the pitfalls of being an organisation dedicated to such research.

MUFON investigator Peter Davenport said on the website: "One of the greatest burdens that UFO investigators have to bear, in the course of their collecting and investigating sighting reports submitted by members of the public, is the deluge of apparently false reports and cases of mistaken identity that have to be waded through, and eliminated from, the stream of incoming data.

"What prompts people to create and submit bogus reports is unclear, save for the apparently widespread lack of self-discipline, and lack of concern for others, that seems all too common in mankind.

"However, the fact remains that such deception takes place constantly, and that it probably will continue in ufology, and elsewhere, until long after we have finally laid to rest the mystery of UFOs."

GOVERNMENT CHIEF'S DEATH BED CONFESSION: 'I was shown inside alien UFO at Area 51'

GOVERNMENT CHIEF'S DEATH BED CONFESSION: 'I was shown inside alien UFO at Area 51'

A FORMER government emergency expert made a detailed death bed confession of how he was shown inside an alien flying saucer at the top-secret Area 51 military base, it has been sensationally claim

By JON AUSTIN

GETTY

Paul Hellyer and the no-entry signs at Area 51.

Paul Hellyer, a former Canadian Minister of Defencem, said an unnamed former Canadian Chief of Emergency Measures revealed the astonishing story just before his death from a neurological illness.

Mr Hellyer, 92, revealed the claim to a panel of the world's top UFO and alien investigators and experts.

Speaking at the "Hearing on ET Disclosure” in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, Mr Hellyer explained that if he wanted to know about the workings of an alien space craft he would "ask the current chief of emergency measures".

Mr Hellyer, who became a UFO expert after claiming to have seen proof of alien visitations while in office, said: "The reason I know is I interviewed the previous one, who is now deceased, and he went Langley and the CIA asked if he would like to see one of these crafts.

"They flew him to Area 51 and let him go inside one and observe it and make notes and this sort of thing."

Conspiracy theorists have insisted for years Area 51 is where evidence of alien visitations of Earth are secretly held away from public view, including the remains of the alleged 1947 Roswell flying saucer crash.

The top-secret military base in the Nevada desert, America, has intrigued and mystified UFO and alien chasers for years, particularly as the US Government only and reluctantly confirmed its existence in 2013.

Mr Hellyer added: "I guess, presumably, it was to be in better to cops with it if one crashed here and he was involved in trying to do something positive about it.

"But before he was allowed to go had to go he had to sign an oath of secrecy and not tell anyone, and during his life he didn't tell anyone including his wife, and an Air Force buddy phoned me and he was dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease and at that point he felt he should tell someone.

Paul Hellyer said the dying official confirmed he was shown inside alien technology at Area 51.

"I phoned him and he gave me a full report of what he saw and the whole idea of the inside of the craft and this sort of thing, and the fact he had been in a brief and many things, but now he felt he could tell somebody and he thought that would be a good one to tell."

Mr Hellyer was Canadian Minister of Defence from 1963 to 1968 and was deputy prime minister in 1969, but outed himself as a UFO believer 11 years ago.

Last year he made headlines across the globe after claiming up to 80 different species of aliens were in communication with world leaders, but governments across the world were involved in a mass cover up.

He told a TV news interview that some of the aliens lived on one of Saturn's moons called Andromedia.

But sceptics claim he was deluded and to have debunked him because none of Saturn's 62 moons and satellites have this name.

Victor Viggiani, who chaired the hearing, said: "The more important and dramatic piece of evidence presented by Hellyer was a story he told about the day he was called to listen to some death bed confession.

"Paul did not provide dates for the events but he received a call from a man who said that the former head of emergency measures in Canada and that he has a story he wanted to get off his chest."

Hoge Canadese ambtenaar onthult op sterfbed: “Ik ben in Area 51 in een buitenaards schip geweest”

Hoge Canadese ambtenaar onthult op sterfbed: “Ik ben in Area 51 in een buitenaards schip geweest”

Een voormalige Canadese overheidsfunctionaris heeft op zijn sterfbed gezegd dat hij in een buitenaardse vliegende schotel is geweest in Area 51. Dat schrijft de Britse Daily Express.

De Canadese oud-minister van Defensie Paul Hellyer zei dat de anonieme man, die de leiding had over een afdeling die over noodmaatregelen gaat, zijn verhaal deelde vlak voordat hij stierf aan de gevolgen van een neurologische ziekte.

Geheimhoudingsverklaring

“Tijdens een interview zei de man dat de CIA hem had gevraagd of hij één van deze schepen van binnen wilde bekijken,” zei Hellyer. “Ze vlogen hem naar Area 51, waar hij vervolgens aantekeningen maakte.”

“Voordat hij er naartoe ging moest hij een geheimhoudingsverklaring ondertekenen,” vervolgde hij. “Hij sprak er met niemand over, zelfs niet met zijn vrouw. Toen hij ontdekte dat hij ALS had en stervende was, besloot hij alles te vertellen.”

80 soorten

Al jaren wordt gezegd dat Area 51 de plek is waar bewijs voor buitenaards bezoek wordt bewaard, waaronder de resten van een vliegende schotel die in 1947 bij Roswell zou zijn gecrasht. In 2013 erkende de Amerikaanse overheid het bestaan van de basis.

Hellyer was tussen 1963 en 1968 minister van Defensie en werd in 1969 vicepremier van Canada. Recentelijk claimde hij dat 80 verschillende buitenaardse soorten communiceren met wereldleiders, maar dat overheden betrokken zijn bij een cover-up.

VOORSPELLINGEN EDGAR CAYCE AANGAANDE NIBIRU

VOORSPELLINGEN EDGAR CAYCE AANGAANDE NIBIRU

Iedere 3.600 jaar komt er een minizonnestelsel in de buurt van onze aarde met alle gevolgen van dien.

Het is dan ook geen toeval dat een dode vulkaan naast de stad Rome na 36.000 jaar plotseling weer rommelend tot leven komt.

Op ongeveer 20 kilometer afstand van de Italiaanse hoofdstad Rome ligt een bergachtig gebied met de naam Colli Albani oftewel de Albaanse heuvels.

Het zijn de restanten van een dode vulkaan, tenminste een waarvan met altijd dacht dat deze dood was. Nu echter komt deze oeroude vuurspuwer plotseling weer tot leven tot grote verbazing van de wetenschap.

De Colli Albani bestaat uit een half cirkelvormige serie heuvels net buiten Rome en de laatste keer dat deze vulkaan totuitbarsting kwam was 36.000 jaar geleden.

Laat dat nu toevallig precies tien keer 3600 cycli zijn, wat weer gelijk is aan de elliptische omloopbaan van het mini zonnestelsel Nibiru.

xxx

Nu is niet iedere passage van dit zonnestelsel iedere keer even heftig en zullen de gevolgen ook iedere keer anders zijn. Maar, het feit dat deze vulkaan in Rome na 36.000 weer tot leven komt zou je dan ook kunnen uitleggen dat de komende passage wel eens een heftige zou kunnen zijn.

Diezelfde wetenschap die hier met verbazing naar kijkt weet ons ook te vertellen dat het nog wel 1.000 jaar kan durenvoordat deze werkelijk uitbarst. We zullen dat maar even niet al te serieus nemen, want in werkelijkheid hebben ze geen flauw idee.

Wat er onder andere de laatste keer gebeurde dat Niburu voorbij kwam, blijkt uit een aantal dingen zoals wij schreven in een eerder artikel:

Zoals bekend, wordt er alles aan gedaan om het bestaan van een vreemde planeet in ons zonnestelsel (Nibiru of ook wel Planet X) zo lang mogelijk verborgen te houden.

Dit heeft alles te maken dat de elite niet wil dat de wereld in paniek raakt waardoor zij niet meer op tijd in hun schuilplaatsen zouden kunnen komen.

De beste aanwijzingen voor wat ons te wachten staat, kunnen waarschijnlijk worden gevonden in de geschiedenis, of beter gezegd de archeologie en geologie.

Zo heeft onder andere geologisch onderzoek in Groenland uitgewezen dat er ongeveer iedere 3600 jaar dramatische gebeurtenissen op aarde plaatsvinden. Heftige aardveranderingen die vaak zijn ontstaan als gevolg van een inslag van een meteoriet.

Het betreft geen eenmalige gebeurtenissen, maar cycli die met de regelmaat van de klok iedere 3600 keer terug keren.

Het is nu ongeveer 3600 jaar geleden dat de laatste keer dit soort grote rampen plaatsvonden op aarde.

Zoals de grootste vulkaanuitbarsting die ooit is geregistreerd op aarde:

De Minoïsche uitbarsting is een enorme vulkaanuitbarsting die zich in de Minoïsche tijd op Thera heeft voorgedaan. Dendrochronologisch en ander onderzoek situeert deze gebeurtenis tussen 1650 en 1600 v.Chr.

Zoals ook de ondergrondse stad Derinkuyu ongeveer 3500 jaar oud is en waar wij al eerder over schreven:

xxx

Derinkuyu is een onderaardse stad in het district Derinkuyu in de provincie Nevşehir in Turkije. De onderaardse stad is volgens archeologen 3500 jaar oud en bood plaats aan ongeveer 35.000 tot 50.000 mensen.

Iedere 3600 jaar doen zich klaarblijkelijk heftige periodes op aarde voor. Waarbij het op onze planeet tekeer gaat en we te maken schijnen te krijgen met inslagen van meteorieten die rampzalige gevolgen hebben.

De bekende tien plagen uit de Bijbel verwijzen waarschijnlijk ook naar gebeurtenissen die verband hielden met de vorige passage van Nibiru.

De tien plagen van Egypte zijn mogelijk te verklaren aan de hand van natuurrampen die ruim 3000 jaar geleden hebben plaatsgevonden. Dat beweren Duitse wetenschappers.

De plagen bestonden uit verschillende rampen zoals het water van de Nijl dat in bloed veranderde, hevige vuurstormen en drie dagen duisternis.

xxx

Niet de laatste passage van Nibiru, maar de keer daarvoor is waarschijnlijk verantwoordelijk voor de alom bekende zondvloed. We praten dan over een periode rond 5100 voor Christus.

Hoe heftig de komende passage van de planeet Nibiru zal worden en wanneer die precies komt, weten wij niet.

Wat we wel hebben, zijn de voorspellingen van één van meest betrouwbare profeten die ooit op aarde heeft rondgelopen en dat is de bekende Edgar Cayce.

Navolgnd een deel uit een eerder artikel met wat informatie over Edgar Cayce en de top tien van zijn voorspellingen die nog niet zijn uitgekomen.

Een aantal daarvan heeft duidelijk betrekking op de passage van Nibiru en de gevolgen daarvan.

Voor diegenen die nog nooit van Edgar Cayce hebben gehoord:

De meest prominente ziener van de vorige eeuw is ongetwijfeld Edgar Cayce (1877- 1945). Hij is de best gedocumenteerde helderziende ooit. Edgar Cayce, beter bekend als de slapende profeet, heeft in totaal 14.306 ‘readings’ slapend uitgevoerd, in een veranderde bewustzijnstoestand, die allemaal nauwgezet gedocumenteerd zijn.

Edgar Cayce werd vooral beroemd om zijn medische ‘readings’, omdat hij met een bijna honderd procent nauwkeurigheid de diagnose kon stellen van het ziektebeeld van zijn patiënten. In de meeste gevallen kon hij zelfs de naam en het adres geven van de arts die ze het beste konden consulteren. En dit alles terwijl hij in een trancetoestand verkeerde en enkel en alleen de naam van de patiënt kende die hij zelf, meestal, nooit eerder ontmoet had.

In de nadagen van zijn carrière begon hij informatie door te geven over oude beschavingen - vooral over de Egyptische en Atlantische culturen - en hij voorspelde tevens toekomstige gebeurtenissen voor deze aarde die bekend zijn geworden als de ‘Earth Changes’. Edgar Cayce richtte zelf de ‘Association for Research and Enlightenment’ (A.R.E.)’ op om zijn erfenis te bewaren voor het nageslacht. Deze organisatie bestaat nog steeds en is zeer actief. Edgar Cayce is zeer uitvoerig bestudeerd en er zijn meer dan driehonderd boeken gewijd aan deze mystieke man.

Nog een vreemd toeval: Afgelopen week plaatsten wij een artikel waarin goed werd onderbouwd dat de Grote Piramide rond 9.500 voor Christus is bebouwd. Edgar Cayce heeft altijd gezegd dat de Grote Piramide rond 10.000 voor Christus werd gebouwd.

Hier volgen de top tien voorspellingen van Cayce die nog niet uitgekomen zijn. Vele mensen hebben deze gekoppeld aan het jaar 2012, maar dat hoeft uiteraard niet zo te zijn.

1) Het grootste deel van Europa zal in een oogwenk veranderen. Japan zal uiteindelijk in de zee verdwijnen.

2) Er zal nieuw land verschijnen voor de oostkust van Amerika (het oude Atlantis?).

3) Er zal een omkering van de polen komen, zodanig dat waar eens een koud klimaat heerste het warmer zal worden en waar subtropische zal het meer tropisch worden. Er zullen mos en varens groeien op plekken die we ons nu niet voor kunnen stellen.

4) Er zal een tijd komen waarop de zon donker wordt. Dit is het moment van een grote spirituele ontwaking. De stad Atlantis zal gevonden worden nabij Bimini (Bimini is een eilandengroep die deel uit maakt van de Bahama's. Deze liggen zo'n 80 km ten oosten van Miami Beach. Ook het 100 km zuidelijker gelegen eiland Cay Sal hoort bij het Bimini-district).

Men zal ontdekken dat er helende krachten aanwezig zijn in het water voor de kust van Bimini. Men zal de kracht ontdekken van kwartskristallen en de specifieke eigenschappen van kristal zoals het verhogen, het krachtiger maken en het synchroniseren van vele soorten energie, zoals licht en elektriciteit.

5) De archieven van Atlantis zullen toegankelijk zijn voor hen die spiritueel zijn ingewijd in de kennis van de ene God. Er zal een geheime kamer worden gevonden en het omhoog komen van de Tempel zorgt ervoor dat men toegang krijgt tot de archieven.

Toen men hem vroeg wat er zich dan in detail in die geheime kamer zou bevinden, antwoordde hij dat het gegevens bevat van het begin van Atlantis waar de Geest overging in vorm. De archieven beschrijven de eerste vernietiging die plaatsvond en de veranderingen van het land. Het is een soort dagboek wat vertelt over wat de mensen bezighield en hun diverse activiteiten in andere landen. En tevens is het een verslag van een vergadering van alle landen en naties. Het beschrijft de bouw van de Tempel van Inwijding. Cayce voorspelde dat Atlantis weer bovenwater zal komen.

6) Er zal een totaal nieuwe wetenschap worden ontwikkeld, met als uitgangspunt een psychische/spirituele basis. Er zal een verandering plaatsvinden in wat en hoe men gaat studeren. De wereld zal meer belang hechten aan het spirituele en minder aan het materiële aspect. Dit nieuwe gebied van de wetenschap zal net zo meetbaar en toegankelijk worden als ieder andere menselijke ervaring.

7) Er zal een “Stad van Goud” worden ontdekt in de Gobi woestijn (Noord India). Het heeft een tempel met liften, elektrische auto’s en magische elementen.

8) De oostkust van de Staat New York en de stad zelf als geheel, zullen verdwijnen.

9) De Amerikaanse westkust zal worden verwoest en er zal heel veel schade zijn in Los Angeles en San Francisco. Er zal land verschijnen voor de kust van West Amerika. De Grote Meren (op de grens van Amerika en Canada) zullen leeglopen in de Golf van Mexico via de Mississipi Rivier.

10) Cayce voorzag dat er een tijd komt dat alle mensen zich bewust zullen worden van hun verantwoordelijkheden ten opzichte van een ander. Deze bewustwording zal het hele denkproces van de mensheid veranderen.

Hij voorspelde tevens dat er drie ongekend belangrijke archeologische vondsten gedaan zullen worden die voor een revolutionaire ommezwaai zullen zorgen omtrent kennis over de oorsprong van de mens. Dit zal pas gebeuren wanneer de mens een hoger spiritueel bewustzijn heeft bereikt.

Na de geweldige veranderingen op aarde breekt er een nieuw tijdperk aan van vrede en verlichting voor de mensheid. En als laatste spreekt hij over een krachtig verenigd energieveld, dat op een goede dag zal zorgen voor een sprong in het menselijk bewustzijn.

De kaart van Europa zoals het er na de overstromingen volgens Edgar Cayce uit zal zien, geeft wat ons land en België betreft nu niet bepaald een vrolijk beeld.

Maar, wie weet, mogen wij wel terug naar Atlantis.

Glowing Purple UFO Over Cumberland County, Maine - July 4, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Glowing Purple UFO Over Cumberland County, Maine - July 4, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: July 4, 2016
Location of sighting: Cumberland County, Main, USA
News source: MUFON #77585

This object has all the features of a true UFO and does not resemble a drone or other aircraft. Its purple hue is unusual, but the fact is that in many UFO reports, even by police officers, eyewitnesses have seen UFOs turn multiple colors of the spectrum in seconds. So, the fact it changes colors only makes it more possible that this is a real UFO. Often non UFO researchers will get that backwards.

Eyewitness states:

1. I was in my home with my wife and teenage son. We all saw the object high in the sky and we filmed the object using 60x HD camcorder.
2. My wife looked out the window and saw an object with bright light high in the sky.
3. We thought the object could be a sophisticate, large drone, possibly military. However when we reviewed the video at the end frame by frame it appears to spin and then disappear.
4. The object hovered stationary for several minutes. Using my HD video camera zoomed in at 60x I could see an A fram shape for each structure, a red and green light in the middle, and 3 bright white lights on top. It began spinning and then disappeared as shown frame by frame on the video. It returned a few minutes later in the same location but facing a different direction. It hovered stationary again and then disappeared. The video zoom did not resolve well but the object appeared to change color all at once to red before it disappeared.
5. We were excited to see the object even if it turns out to be just a drone. My wife posted the video clip to her facebook account and friends were shocked. Some said it was just a drone, but other did not.
6. We lost sight of the object because it disappeared. Please see the video clip as it is all there. I have 4 videos total but have processed only 1 to remove the audio and clip just the best section to reduce file size. The sequence of the video is continuous and has not been modified. Please contact me if you think this is a UFO or just a drone.

Aliens Apparently Crash Meteorites into a Bosnian Man’s House

Aliens Apparently Crash Meteorites into a Bosnian Man’s House

Radivoje Lajić

There are millions of meteorites entering the Earth’s atmosphere every day and most of them burn out prior reaching the ground. A few percentage manage to hit the ground, but very little chance to get into someone’s living room. The reason it is very strange or close to impossible that multiple meteorites struck the same area in a short period. However, a man living in a village in northern Bosnia claim that six meteorites crash through his roof in less than a year.

Radivoje Lajic was in his home in the Bosnian village of Gornji sleeping when a loud noise awakened him during one evening in November 2007. The first that came to his mind were memories of the recent war that brought so much chaos in their country. However, the rest of the night stayed silent and later, Lajic found the culprit. It was a space rock that caused a hole in his roof. Lajic has been aware that things like this do happen. He did not expect it would be the first of six crashes into his household.

Gornji, Bosnia

Four more meteorites hit his property over the next several months, prompting Lajic to reinforce his roof with steel girders. These series of incidents came to a stop in April 2008, only to be back again in the summer of 2010 when another meteorite hit his Gornji home. Since then, Radivoje Lajic has been suspecting of an extraterrestrial attack that intentionally targeted him.

There have been suggestions that the nearby Bosnian Pyramids could provide an explanation to Lajic’s case. The pyramids are believed to exert geomagnetic or gravitational disturbance, which could probably disrupt the natural trajectory of meteorites and somehow attract them to the area, not necessarily crashing on the pyramids, but landing nearby.

Bosnian Pyramids are located in the city of Visoko, less than 30 miles in a straight line from Gornji. They are a group of controversial structures. Many believe that these pyramids are artificial in nature and might be the oldest pyramids ever discovered.

According to archaeologists, the Bosnian Pyramids could be at least 24,800 years old, much older than the Egyptian ones. An unknown ancient civilization might have built them using advanced technology to erect a 722 foot-tall edifice.

10 images that prove Puma Punku was built by an extremely advanced ancient Civilization

10 images that prove Puma Punku was built by an extremely advanced ancient Civilization

Here we have 10 mind-boggling images of Puma Punku which prove that this ancient site was built by an extremely advanced ancient Civilization.

Many people firmly believe that this isn’t the case and that this ancient megalithic site was, in fact, built by an extremely sophisticated ancient civilization which inhabited the region in the distant past, challenging mainstream views on history which state that advanced civilizations did not inhabit the area in the distant past.

Many people firmly agree that the biggest mystery involving Puma Punku is, how ancient mankind managed to transport these huge blocks of stone from quarries within 10 to 100 km. The greater question is how they managed to cut precisely and stack the megalithic stone after transportation. Engineers and constructors around the world today cannot answer nor replicate these achievements done by ancient mankind thousands of years ago.

Another puzzling mystery at Puma Punku is the assembly of the walls, the famous H blocks of Bolivia. Each stone was finely cut to interlock with the surrounding stones and the blocks fit together like a puzzle, forming load-bearing joints without the use of mortar. The precision challenges today’s engineering abilities and mainstream researchers firmly believe all of this was achieved without the use of advanced tools and sophisticated technology. However, the structures alone, and their elaborate design and precision points towards a sophisticated ancient civilization.

Similar megalithic sites are found all over the planet from Asia, Mexico to Egypt. Is it possible that incredible ancient sites like Puma Punku, Tiwanaku, the Pyramids of Giza, and Teotihuacan in Mexico were all built with the use of stone tools and without the wheel? What if ancient mankind used “other” technologies that are completely unknown to our society today? Would mainstream scholar accept that they were wrong? Would it be easy to rewrite history as we know it?

Puma Punku is without a doubt one of the most mysterious places on this planet, and it is located near Tiahuanaco, less than a quarter-mile northeast of Puma Punku. Scientists believe Tiahuanaco was once the center of civilization with more than 40,000 inhabitants. Tiahuanaco is probably the greatest Native American civilization that many people haven’t heard of.

We firmly believe that in the distant past, advanced ancient civilizations inhabited the planet. These sophisticated societies had advanced technology and incredible knowledge which is why ancient mankind had the ability to erect ancient sites such as Puma Punku, Tiahuanaco, the Pyramids of Giza, and Teotihuacan among others. This, however, is a theory firmly rejected by mainstream scholars who oppose the idea that such advanced civilizations existed on Earth at a time when they say primitive man inhabited our planet.

Here we have 10 mind-boggling images of Puma Punku which prove that the builders of this ancient site were an extremely sophisticated and advanced cultures that inhabited the region at a time when mainstream scholars say primitive man roamed the land.

Physicists Send Particles Of Light Into The Past, Proving Time Travel Is Possible?

Physicists Send Particles Of Light Into The Past, Proving Time Travel Is Possible?

Scientists from the University of Queensland, Australia, have used single particles of light (photons) to simulate quantum particles travelling through time. They showed that one photon can pass through a wormhole and then interact with its older self. Their findings were published in Nature Communications.

The source of this time travel conundrum comes from what are called “closed timelike curves” (CTC). CTCs are used to simulate extremely powerful gravitational fields, like the ones produced by a spinning black hole, and could, theoretically (based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity), warp the fabric of existence so that spacetime bends back on itself – thus creating a CTC, almost like a path that could be used to travel back in time.

According to Scientific American, many physicists find CTCs “abhorrent, because any macroscopic object traveling through one would inevitably create paradoxes where cause and effect break down.” Others disagree with this assessment, however; in 1991, physicist David Deutsch showed that these paradoxes (created by CTCs) could be avoided at the quantum scale because of the weird behaviour of these fundamental particles that make up what we call matter.

It’s well known that at the quantum scale, these particles do not follow the rules that govern classical mechanics, but behave in strange and unexpected ways that really shouldn’t even be possible.

Welcome to the world of Quantum physics, where pioneering Physicist Niels Bohr once said, “if quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet.”

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

In the quantum world, paradoxes that we don’t understand are common findings, but this should not deter people from taking this science seriously. Even Einstein didn’t believe a lot of quantum theory, but I’d like to think that if he were alive today, he would definitely be having some fun, given all of the recent breakthroughs.

“It’s intriguing that you’ve got general relativity predicting these paradoxes, but then you consider them in quantum mechanical terms and the paradoxes go away.” – University of Queensland physicist Tim Ralph (source)

The Experiment

Tim Ralph (quoted above) and his PhD student Martin Ringbauer simulated a Deutsch’s model of CTCs, according to Scientific American, “testing and confirming many aspects of the two-decades-old theory.” Although it’s just a mathematical simulation, the researchers (and their team/colleagues) emphasize that their model is mathematically equivalent to a single photon traveling through a CTC. Nothing has actually been sent back through time though; to do that, scientists would have to find a real CTC, which has yet to happen as far as we know. Of course, there always remains the possibility that black budget science has.

Think in terms of the ‘grandfather paradox,’ a hypothetical scenario where someone uses a CTC to travel back through time to cause harm to their grandfather, thus preventing their later birth. Now imagine a particle going back in time to flip a switch on the particle-generating machine that created it – this is a possibility that these physicists say they have shown through their simulation.

You can read the specifics of the experiment here.

Why This Is A High Probability

In my opinion, there is no doubt time travel is possible. Why do I believe this? Well, it’s because we know one hundred percent that superposition is real on a quantum scale.

“The maddening part of that problem is that the ability of particles to exist in two places at once is not a mere theoretical abstraction. It is a very real aspect of how the subatomic world works, and it has been experimentally confirmed many times over.” (source)

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

This means that one particle can exist in multiple states at one time. This is best demonstrated by the quantum double slit experiment. Recent experiments have also confirmed quantum entanglement, showing that space is really just a construct that gives the illusion of separation. One thing that suggests there is a high probably of time travel, in conjunction with the experiment mentioned in this article, is the fact that there are experiments showing that particles can actually be entangled through time.

This is illustrated by what is called the ‘delayed choice experiment.’

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

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

This particular experiment illustrates how what happens in the present can change what happened in the past. It also shows how time can go backwards, how cause and effect can be reversed, and how the future caused the past.

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

Although we do not have access to a CTC quite yet, there are good reasons to believe that this type of time travel is possible at the quantum mechanical level, and that is why I chose to mention these other experiments, to show that ‘time’ doesn’t even really exist as we think it does.

You can access an excellent description of the delayed choice experiment using a cosmic scale explanation here, which makes it easier to understand.

Why these same quantum mechanical laws have not been observed on the macroscopic level is yet to be understood, but physicists are working on the problem. For example, in 2012 physicists David Wineland and Serge Haroche received the Nobel Prize in physics for demonstrating how “quantum weirdness” could not only exist at the subatomic micro-world level, but also show itself in the macro-world. At one time, superposition was only thought to exist in the inaccessible quantum world, but not anymore. We know it’s possible, we just haven’t figured out how. We do, however, seem to be getting closer to finding out. (source) (source)

Perhaps one day, we will have determined the key to this puzzle and be able to observe large objects like cars, humans, apples, and oranges behave in the ways that matter does on a subatomic level, and perhaps one day we will find a wormhole, or a CTC in space, to conduct actual experiments that go beyond theory. That being said, a lot of what used to be considered theoretical in quantum physics is no longer theoretical, like quantum entanglement.

Hacker says NASA is editing out UFOs from the videos before releasing them

Hacker says NASA is editing out UFOs from the videos before releasing them

This hacker believes that NASA blanks out UFO images before releasing videos to the public

Meet Gary McKinnon who thinks that NASA is editing out the parts of UFO appearances in the videos it releases to the public and it has been doing so for years. He is a avid UFO watcher and has faced a 10-year fight against extradition to the US after breaking into computer databases of NASA, US military and the Pentagon.

According to McKinnon, NASA and the US government has known for years we are being regularly monitored by UFOs from far-flung galaxies. But it believes that the general public wont be able handle the truth, or it would lead to the breakdown of religion and society and it has been successfully withheld the information by covering it up.

McKinnon says that his interest in UFO’s and NASA coverup built up after former NASA contractor Donna Hare went whistleblower in November 2000 with claims that NASA staff digitally edited out UFOs from satellite pictures before they were released, from Building eight of the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

To prove whether Hare was right or wrong, McKinnon hacked into computer databases of NASA, there US military and the Pentagon, from his girlfriend’s aunt’s home in London. McKinnon said their security was so lapse he was able to regularly gain access to entire databases for between 18 months and two years.

First, while scouring US Navy databases, McKinnon stumbled across a file containing a list of “non-terrestrial officers” with their ranks and names and a separate file of “material transfers between ships”.

Mr McKinnon believes he may have found confidential evidence of a secret space base. McKinnon has released 4 videos based on his findings.

When asked if non-terrestrial officers could mean something else such as this or astronauts, McKinnon added: “It could be up to you how you interpret them.”

The other evidence uncovered by McKinnon was while trawling the 255 computers of building eight at the Johnson Space Center. He said: “There were image databases with roll one: filtered or processed and unprocessed. They were 200-odd megabytes each. I had full remote control of the desktop.”

He said he started to download an image, but it was extremely slow, and he only got half to 2/3rds of the way down before being rumbled. McKinnon added: “It was the hemisphere of a planet I assume was Earth. It was cloudy, but there was the classic cigar-shape (UFO).” McKinnon said he took a screen grab, but then saw the cursor move separately to his mouse movements, before the connection was lost, and he was unable to retrieve the image from the clipboard.

He was arrested soon after before a highly publicised battle against extradition from 2002 to 2012, during which, in 2008, he was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome – a form of autism that may have affected his behaviour. He was accused by the US government of costing it $700,000 and hacking for more sinister reasons than trying to discover if the truth was out there.

This was amid claims he deleted critical files, shut down the US Army’s 2,000-computer Washington network for 24 hours and paralysed munitions supplies to the US Navy.

Dark Energy Finally Measured Alongside Record-Breaking Map of 1.2 Million Galaxies

Dark Energy Finally Measured Alongside Record-Breaking Map of 1.2 Million Galaxies

Daniel Eisenstein and SDSS-III

IN BRIEF

Hundreds of physicists and astronomers worked for five years to build the largest, most precise, three-dimensional map ever, charting how dark energy competed with dark matter in shaping the expansion of the universe. The map covers 1.2 million galaxies.

THE LARGEST MAP EVER

It took hundreds of physicists and astronomers five years to construct the largest-ever, most precise, three-dimensional map of distant galaxies that charts the dark energy propelling the accelerated expansion of the universe.

Project co-leader Jeremy Tinker from New York University says: “We have spent five years collecting measurements of 1.2 million galaxies over one quarter of the sky to map out the structure of the Universe over a volume of 650 cubic billion light years.”

The results of the project has been published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. “This map has allowed us to make the best measurements yet of the effects of dark energy in the expansion of the Universe. We are making our results and map available to the world,” Tinker adds.

Consistent with the calculations of general relativity, the galaxies were observed drifting towards areas of the universe with more matter—thus more gravitational pull.

Shirley Ho, an astrophysicist at Berkeley Lab and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) who co-led two of the companion papers says the data they gathered will pave the way towards more accurate measurements: “We can now measure how much the galaxies and stars cluster together as a function of time to such an accuracy we can test General Relativity at cosmological scales,” she says.

THE BATTLE OF ENIGMAS

On top of the fact that we currently do not know what exactly dark energy and dark matter are, the team also had to decipher between the two in their measurements. Thanks to the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) program of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III, measurement of the rate at which the universe expands was made possible, which led them to measure the amount of dark matter and dark energy which our present universe is made of.

By determining the size of the baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the three-dimensional distribution of galaxies, BOSS can measure the expansion rate of the Universe. Galaxy distribution was measured starting from 13.7996 billion years ago, 400,000 years from the time the universe is believed to have started—a time when pressure waves are known to have travelled throughout the cosmos.

From that point on, astronomers were able to observe the competition between dark matter and dark energy in controlling the universe’s expansion.

“We’ve made the largest map for studying the 95% of the universe that is dark,” says David Schlegel, astrophysicist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and principal investigator for BOSS. “In this map, we can see galaxies being gravitationally pulled towards other galaxies by dark matter. And on much larger scales, we see the effect of dark energy ripping the universe apart.”

https://youtu.be/QAa2O_8wBUQ

Rita Tojeiro of the University of St. Andrews, who co-led the BOSS galaxy clustering working group alongside Tinker outlines how this is a milestone for cosmology: “We see a dramatic connection between the sound wave imprints seen in the cosmic microwave background 400,000 years after the Big Bang to the clustering of galaxies 7-12 billion years later. The ability to observe a single well-modeled physical effect from recombination until today is a great boon for cosmology.”

“The results from BOSS provide a solid foundation for even more precise future BAO measurements, such as those we expect from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI),” says Natalie Roe, Physics Division director at Berkeley Lab. “DESI will construct a more detailed 3-dimensional map in a volume of space ten times larger to precisely characterize dark energy — and ultimately the future of our universe.”

ESA PREPARES REVOLUTIONARY AIR BREATHING ROCKET ENGINE

The SABRE (Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine) could revolutionize access to space.

ESA PREPARES REVOLUTIONARY AIR BREATHING ROCKET ENGINE

by Evan Gough

If new rocket engines being developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) are successful, they could revolutionize rocket technology and change the way we get to space. The engine, called the Synergistic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE), is designed to use atmospheric air in the early flight stages, before switching to conventional rocket mode for the final ascent to space. If all goes well, this new air-breathing rocket could be ready for test firings in about four years.

Conventional rockets have to carry an on-board oxidizer such as liquid oxygen, which is combined with fuel in the rocket’s combustion chamber. This means rockets can require in excess of 250 tons of liquid oxygen in order to function. Once this oxygen is consumed in the first stages, these used up stages are discarded, creating massive waste and expense. (Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing re-usable rockets to help circumvent this problem, but they’re still conventional rockets.)

Conventional rockets carry their own oxygen because its temperature and pressure can be controlled. This guarantees the performance of the rocket, but requires complicated systems to do so. SABRE will eliminate the need for carrying most on-board oxygen, but this is not easy to do.

SABRE’s challenge is to compress the atmospheric oxygen to about 140 atmospheres before introducing it into the engine’s combustion chambers. But compressing the oxygen to that degree raises its temperature so much that it would melt the engines. The solution to that is to cool the air with a pre-cooling heat exchanger, to the point where it’s almost a liquid. At that point, a turbine based on standard jet engine technology can compress the air to the required operating temperature.

This means that while SABRE is in Earth’s atmosphere, it uses air to burn its hydrogen fuel, rather than liquid oxygen. This gives it an 8 x improvement in propellant consumption. Once SABRE has reached about 25 km in altitude, where the air is thinner, it switches modes and operates as a standard rocket. By the time it switches modes, it’s already about 20% of the way into Earth orbit.

Like a lot of engineering challenges, understanding what needs to be done is not the hard part. Actually developing these technologies is extremely difficult, even though many people just assume engineers will be successful. The key for Reaction Engines Ltd, the company developing SABRE, is to develop the light weight heat exchangers at the heart of the engine.

Heat exchangers are common in industry, but these heat exchangers have to cool incoming air from 1000 Celsius to -150 Celsius in less than 1/100th of a second, and they have to do it while preventing frost from forming. They are extremely light, at about 100 times lighter than current technology, which will allow them to be used in aerospace for the first time. Some of the lightness factor of these new heat exchanges stems from the wall thickness of the tubing, which is less than 30 microns. That’s less than the thickness of a human hair.

Reaction Engines Limited says that these heat exchangers will have the same impact on aerospace propulsion systems that silicone chips had on computing.

A new funding agreement with the ESA will provide Reaction Engines with 10 million Euros for continued development of SABRE. This will add to the 50 million Pounds that the UK Space Agency has already contributed. That 50 million Pound investment was the result of a favorable viability review of SABRE that the ESA performed in 2010.

In 2012 the pre-cooler, a vital component of SABRE, was successfully tested at Reaction Engines facility in Oxfordshire, UK.

Image: ESA/Reaction Engines

IN 2012, the pre-cooler and the heat exchangers were tested. After that came more R&D, including the development of altitude-compensating rocket nozzles, thrust chamber cooling, and air intakes.

Now that the feasibility of SABRE has been strengthened, Reaction Engines wants to build a ground demonstrator engine by 2020. If the continued development of SABRE goes well, and if testing by 2020 is successful, then these Air Breathing rocket engines will be in a position to truly revolutionize access to space.

In ESA’s words, “ESA are confident that a ground test of a sub-scale engine can be successfully performed to demonstrate the flight regime and cycle and will be a critical milestone in the development of this program and a major breakthrough in propulsion worldwide.”

Bring it on.

A PLANET WITH A 27,000 YEAR ORBIT & THAT’S JUST WHERE THE STRANGENESS BEGINS

by Matt Williams

Every planet in the Solar System has its own peculiar orbit, and these vary considerably. Whereas planet Earth takes 365.25 days to complete a single orbit about our Sun, Mars takes almost twice as long – 686.971 days. Then you have Jupiter and the other gas giants, which take between 11.86 and 164.8 years to orbit our Sun. But even with these serving as examples, astronomers were not prepared for what they found when they looked atCVSO 30.

This star system, which lies some 1200 light years from Earth, has been found in recent years to have two candidate exoplanets. These planets, which are many times the mass of Jupiter, were discovered by an international team of astronomers using both the Transit Method and Direct Imaging. And what they found was very interesting: one planet has an orbital period of less than 11 days while the other takes a whopping 27,000 years to orbit its parent star!

In addition to being a big surprise, the detection of these two planets using different methods was an historic achievement. Up until now, the vast majority of the over 2,000 exoplanets discovered have been detected thanks to indirect methods. These include the aforementioned Transit Method, which detects planets by measuring the dimming effect they cause when crossing their parent star’s path, and the Radial Velocity Method, which measures the gravitational effect planets have on their parent star.

In 2012, astronomers used the Transit Method to detect CVSO 30b, a planet with 5 to 6 times the mass of Jupiter, and which orbits its star at a distance of only 1.2 million kilometers (by comparison, Mercury orbits our Sun at a distance of 58 million kilometers). From these characteristics, CVSO 30b can be described as a particularly “hot-Jupiter”.

In contrast, Direct Imaging has been used to spot only a few dozen exoplanets. The reason for this is because it is typically quite difficult to detect the light reflected by a planet’s atmosphere due it being drowned out by the light of its parent star. It can also be quite demanding when it comes to the instrument involved. Still, compared to indirect methods, it can be more effective when it comes to exploring the remote regions of a star.

Thanks to the efforts of an international team of astronomers, who combined the use of the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, and the Spanish National Research Council’s (CSIC) Calar Alto Observatory, CVSO 30c was spotted in remote regions around its parent star, orbiting at a distance of around 666 AU.

The details of the discovery were published in a paper titled “Direct Imaging discovery of a second planet candidate around the possibly transiting planet host CVSO 30“. In it, the researchers – who hail from such prestigious institutions as the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, the Jena Observatory, the European Space Agency and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy – explained the methods used to find the exoplanet, and the significance of its discovery.

As Tobias Schmidt – of the University of Hamburg, the Astrophysical Institute and University Observatory Jena, and the lead author of the paper – told Universe Today via email:

“[30b and 30c] are both unusual on their own. CVSO 30b is the first transiting planet around a star as young as 2.5 million years. Published in 2012, all previously detected transiting planets were older than few hundred million years… It has been a surprise to find a planetary mass companion at 662 AU, or 662 times the distance from Earth to the Sun, from a primary star having only about 0.4 solar masses. According to the standard model, planets form in disks around the star. But none of the observed disks around such low-mass stars is large enough to form such an object.”

In other words, it is surprising to find two exoplanet candidates with several times the mass of Jupiter (aka. Super-Jupiters) orbiting a star as small as CVSO 30. But to find two exoplanets with such a disparity in terms of their respective distance from their star (despite being similar in mass) was particularly surprising.

Relying on high-contrast photometric and spectroscopic observations from the Very Large Telescope, the Keck telescopes and the Calar Alto observatory, the international team was able to spot 30c using a technique known as lucky imaging. This process, which is used by ground-based telescopes, involves many high-speed, quick exposure photos being taken to minimize atmospheric interference.

What they found was an exoplanet with a wide orbit that was between 4 and 5 Jupiter masses, and was also very young – less than 10 million years old. What’s more, the spectroscopic data indicated that it is unusually blue for a planet, as most other planet candidates of its kind are very red. The researchers concluded from this that it is likely that 30c is the first young planet of its kind to be directly imaged.

They further concluded that 30 c is also likely the first “L-T transition object” younger than 10 million years to be found orbiting a star. L-T transition objects are a type of brown dwarf – objects that are too large to be considered planets, but too small to be considered stars. Typically they are found embedded in large clouds of gas and dust, or on their own in space.

Paired with its companion – 30 b, which is impossibly close to its parent star – 30 c is not believed to have formed at its current position, and is likely not stable in the long-term. At least, not where current models of planetary formation and orbit are concerned. However, as Prof. Schmidt indicated, this offers a potential explanation for the odd nature of these exoplanets.

“We do think this is a very good hint,” he said, “that the two objects might have formed regularly around the star at a separation comparable to Jupiter or Saturn’s separation from the Sun, then interacted gravitationally and were scattered to their current orbits. However this is still speculation, further investigations will try to prove this. Both have about the same mass of few Jupiter masses, the inner one might be even lower.”

The discovery is also significant since it was the first time that these two detection methods – Transit and Direct Imaging – were used to confirm exoplanet candidates around the same star. In this case, the methods were quite complimentary, and present opportunities to learn more about exoplanets.

As Professor Schmidt explained:

“Both Transit method and radial velocity method have problems finding planets around young stars, as the activity of young stars is disturbing the search for them. CVSO 30 b was the first very young planet found with these methods, currently a hand full of candidates exist. Direct imaging, on the other hand, is working best for young planets as they still contract and are thus self-luminous. It is therefore great luck that a far out planet was found around the very first young star hosting a inner planet…

“However, the real advantage of transit and direct imaging methods is that the two objects can now be investigated in greater detail. While we can use the direct light from the imaging for spectroscopy, i.e. split the light according to its wavelength, we hope to achieve the same for the inner planet candidate. This is possible as the light passes through the atmosphere of the planet during transits and some of the elements are absorbed by the composition material of the atmosphere. So we do hope to learn a lot about planet formation, thus also formation of the early Solar System and about young planets in particular from the CVSO 30 system.”

Since astronomers first began began to find exoplanet candidates in distant star systems, we have come to learn just how diverse our Universe really is. Many of the discoveries have challenged our notions about where planets can form around their parent star, while others have showed us that planets can take many different forms.

As time goes on and our exploration of the local Universe advances, we will be challenged to find explanations for how it all fits together. And from that, new and more comprehensive models will no doubt emerge.

Astronomers Find a Strange System with Two Unique Exoplanets

Astronomers Find a Strange System with Two Unique Exoplanets

IN BRIEF

Astronomers have found CVSO 30, a star system with two particularly unique exoplanets.

Finding exoplanets has always been a strange business. You never know what you’re going to find. But this new discovery has to take the cake for being one of the strangest systems ever found.

A star system that has been examined for a few years, CVSO 30, has been found to contain two possible exoplanets, using both Transit Method and Direct Imaging. What’s even stranger was that,one was found to have an orbital period of less than 11 days, while the other takes a whopping 27,000 years to orbit its parent star.

The star with the longer orbit time—CVSO 30c—was spotted in remote regions around its parent star. It was found to be very young – less than 10 million years old. It is also unusually blue for a planet, as most other planet candidates of its kind are very red. It is likely that 30c is the first young planet of its kind to be directly imaged.

Meanwhile, CVSO 30c was found to be impossibly close to its parent star. It is the first transiting planet around a star as young as 2.5 million years.

The planets were found by both the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, and the Spanish National Research Council’s (CSIC) Calar Alto Observatory.

Russia Claims It’s Building a Nuclear Space Bomber Capable of Striking Any Country in the World

Russia Claims It’s Building a Nuclear Space Bomber Capable of Striking Any Country in the World

IN BRIEF

The Russian military claims that it is building it's own miniature version of the International Space Station, with the main purpose of carrying nuclear weapons, which would allow them to launch an attack anywhere in the world in a matter of two hours.

WAR ZONE EXPANSION: OUTER SPACE

Through news site Sputnik, Russia says they are building a robotic mini-shuttle, much like a smaller, remote-controlled replica of the International Space Station—filled with nukes.

X-37B. United States Air Force.

The robotic plane, similar to the U.S. Air Force’s secretive X-37B robotic mini-shuttle, will be loaded with nuclear warheads, and can launch an attack anywhere in the world within a matter of two hours. The Russian military says the project is making good progress and could very well be up and running by 2020.

“The idea is that the bomber will take off from a normal home airfield to patrol Russian airspace,” Lieutenant Colonel Aleksei Solodovnikov told Russia’s International News Agency. “Upon command it will ascend into outer space, strike a target with nuclear warheads and then return to its home base.”

“I think that its lift-off mass must be 20-25 metric tonnes for it to be a strike aircraft,” Solodovnikov told Sputnik. “It will [be able to accelerate to] hypersonic speed in rocket mode.”

TRUTH OR BLUFF, AN UNSETTLING THOUGHT

Sputnik is run by Russian Federation-owned and controlled agency Rossiya Segodnya and has garnered the reputation of being a biased, propaganda-driven outlet with little-to-no credibility. With Russia choosing this source for the announcement, the news is, in the very least, suspect.

Sputnik chief Dmitry Kiselyov. Sputnik.

However, whether this is a bluff or not, the mere thought of fast-nuking space planes lurking about and ushering a new era (and arena) of warfare is beyond unsettling and is an act of violation against the Outer Space Treaty, signed by 104 countries in 1967—including Russia.

The Outer Space Treaty: green for parties, yellow for signatories who have not completed affirmation , red for non-parties.

The treaty declares that: “States shall not place nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction in orbit or on celestial bodies or station them in outer space in any other manner.”

Sputnik reports that the engine for this alleged nuclear space bombing machine will be presented at the Army-2016 International Military Technology Forum, happening this September in Moscow. Until then, we’re all going to have to keep hoping this is nothing more but a ruse.

Wireless Energy Transmission On A Global Scale? Nikola Tesla Would Be Proud.

Wireless Energy Transmission On A Global Scale? Nikola Tesla Would Be Proud.

News
Nikola Tesla

If only Nikola Tesla (inventor of AC or alternating current that is used world-wide, the fluorescent tube that we use to this day ) were alive to see this now; a group of Russian physicists are picking up from where he had left off, using his patents and ideas to finally create the masterpiece that had been long suppressed: wireless electricity transmission. Their work has been largely forgotten, and just like Tesla himself they have not reached their funding goals, but they still seem to be publishing updates regardless.

Nikola Tesla holding a gas-filled phosphor-coated light bulb which was illuminated without wires by an electromagnetic field from the “Tesla Coil”

In 1891, Nikola Tesla gave a lecture for the members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in New York City, where he made a striking demonstration. In each hand he held a gas discharge tube, an early version of the modern fluorescent bulb. The tubes were not connected to any wires, but nonetheless they glowed brightly during his demonstration.

Wireless electricity transmission solves a number of problems: it allows people to receive electricity without large-scale infrastructure costs, transmission to remote locations becomes feasible, and terrain is no longer a restriction. This ONE invention could well grant billions of people access to life-empowering electricity… Assuming they succeed that is.

The basis for the project involves using the Earth as a wire, rather than a physical wire. Anybody who understands electric circuits realizes that most devices come with three wires: Live, Neutral and Earth. Normal transmission of electricity starts at a power plant, and is sent through the live wire. It returns via the neutral wire.

There a reason for having an Earth wire though: The Earth is described as the destination of lowest “potential difference”, a potential difference being analogous to gravity… but for electricity. The Earth is also in a sense, for the purpose of electrical transmission, fairly conductive.

Colossal bolts of electricity arced hundreds of feet from the tower’s top to lick the landscape. A curious blue corona soon enveloped the crackling equipment. Millions of volts charged the atmosphere for several moments, but the awesome display ended abruptly when the power suddenly failed…. Tesla confirmed that the Earth itself could be used as an electrical conductor

In the event of a short-circuit, electric current often builds up in the device …. until an object touches it and completes a circuit leading down to the Earth. That object is often an unwary person, who would soon get a shockingly informative lesson on physics.

The Earth wire is designed to take the charge straight into the Earth, in the place of the unfortunate victim. Hence its name. Anyway, long story short, Tesla hoped to use the reverse process to transmit electricity directly; no need for Live or Neutral wires, when the Earth is sufficient. The Earth itselfwould be “charged” up like a giant battery via a Tesla Tower, causing an opposite charge to be created in the ionosphere. This massive potential difference would allow transmission of electricity to anywhere where a receiver is equipped with an antenna and an Earth wire.

Imagine watching TV via the power of lightning.

There are other aspects of Tesla’s work that are not being addressed by the scientists at this point, one of which being electricity generation rather than mere transmission. By using the Earth as a dynamo, or by making use of the existing potential difference between the ionosphere and the Earth, Tesla had hoped to be able to generate electric charge which would then be dissipated around the world. The man was ambitious.

Tesla’s ambitions were thwarted by money; the first real Tesla tower, the Wardenclyffe Tower, was near completion and showed “encouraging signs”. The project would be abandoned when Tesla himself spent all his savingson the project.

“It is not a dream, it is a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering, only expensive — blind, faint-hearted, doubting world! […] Humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the discoverer’s keen searching sense. But who knows? Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence — by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combatted, suppressed —

only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.”

Nikola Tesla

Disclaimer: the website was written by Russian scientists (duh), and the English used within was at times difficult to understand. I apologize in advance for any misinterpretation of their work. It should be noted that several potential problems regarding Tesla’s idea exist: wireless energy transmission on its own might be very inefficient, as the stored charge in the ionosphere/ Earth might randomly discharge as lightning. This problem might be mitigated if we were to use the existing charge in the ionosphere as a means of electricity generation though. Other problems probably exist that reduce the efficiency of this method, but it remains a field worth exploring.
