New Type of Black Hole Spotted in the Early Universe

Early clouds of gas and dust may have collapsed to form a huge single star that quickly became the seed for a supermassive black hole. In this image based on a supercomputer simulation, gas flows along filaments of dark matter. The first galaxies formed at the intersection of such filaments.

A bright galaxy in the early universe likely contains a mysterious kind of black hole that had previously existed only in theory, a new study suggests.

This probable "direct-collapse" black hole may help explain howsupermassive black holes — the light-gobbling behemoths that lurk at the hearts of most, if not all, galaxies — got their start, researchers said.

"The special aspect of this [direct-collapse] process is that it leads to the formation of a very massive 'seed' black hole in one go," study co-author Avi Loeb, chair of the astronomy department at Harvard University, told Space.com via email. "It is difficult to make such a giant black hole over such a short time if they start from low-mass seeds." [Images: Black Holes of the Universe]

Death by gluttony

When a massive star reaches the end of its lifetime, it can collapse inward on itself to form a black hole. These dense objects then grow by feeding on surrounding gas and dust, but the process can take time. 

Indeed, it probably takes quite a while for such a small seed to grow into a supermassive black hole, which can contain billions of times more mass than the sun, scientists say. This poses a puzzle: Where, then, did the supermassive black holes in the early universe come from?

Some of these monsters existed only 750 million years after the Big Bang that created the universe, Loeb said. (Scientists know this because they have spotted quasars — incredibly bright galactic cores powered by supermassive black holes — of this vintage.)

"It is difficult to make such a giant black hole over such a short time if they start from low-mass seeds," Loeb said.

In 2003, Loeb and Volker Bromm of the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) — also a co-author of the new study — theorized that clouds of dust and gas in the early universe were so hot that they failed to fragment into multiple clumps of thousands of stars. Instead, such clouds likely created just a single massive star at the center, roughly 1 million times larger than "normal" stars, Loeb said.

Such gigantic stars would quickly consume all of the nearby gas and dust. Overeating would lead to a rapid demise; these stars would last only a few million years before collapsing into midsized black holes that could continue to feed, ultimately growing into the giants that lie at the centers of galaxies.

To stay so superhot, the gas at the heart of this process would need to be almost purely hydrogen and helium, without "heavier" elements to help cool it down. Since heavy elements are produced in the hearts of stars and then released during a supernova, such "direct-collapse black holes" could only form in the early universe, the researchers said. [The Universe: Big Bang to Now in 10 Easy Steps]

But there hadn't been much evidence for this idea — until now.

From prediction to reality

Last year, astronomers spotted a strange signal from a galaxy known as CR7, one of the most luminous objects in the early universe. Although the galaxy showed signs of temperatures greater than 180,000 degrees Fahrenheit (100,000 degrees Celsius) and signatures of helium atoms gaining and losing electrons — a process known as ionization — there were no signs of other elements.

"That makes the galaxy that we have discovered really unique, and ticks all the boxes for predictions for both first-generation stars or a direct-collapse black hole," David Sobral, an astrophysicist at the University of Lisbon in Portugal, told Space.com.

Sobral led the team of astronomers that identified irregularities in CR7 last year and other similar galaxiesmore recently. In their paper, they argued that, while CR7 could contain a direct-collapse black hole, the unusual signal favored a cluster of the universe's first stars.

"Regardless, the actual material — pristine gas — to make either first-generation stars or a direct-collapse black hole is essentially the same, and it is extremely exciting to finally start asking actual physical questions about the nature of the very early galaxies," Sobral said. "This goes way beyond the traditional approach of simply counting distant galaxies."

Sobral and other scientists will continue to observe CR7, with instruments such as NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile. But other research teams are investigating the galaxy's origin and evolution via computer modeling and other work.

Black Hole 

Black holes are so bizarre, they sound unreal. Yet astronomers have found good evidence they exist. Test your knowledge of these wacky wonders.

Fabio Pacucci, a Ph.D. student at Scuola Normale Superiore in Italy, was part of one such team, whose research argued for the black-hole theory in a paper last year. But those researchers' observations of CR7 weren't definitive.

"Unfortunately, we do not see any X-ray emission from this source, which would be a smoking gun to say that it is a black hole," Pacucci said.

That's where Loeb and Volker come in. They're members of another research team, led by Aaron Smith of UT Austin, that sought to solve the mystery.

Smith and his colleagues developed what Smith called "a novel code" to simulate both the black-hole and the first-star scenarios using a supercomputer at UT Austin. The star scenario "spectacularly failed," Smithsaid in a statement, while the direct-collapse model held up.

"The evidence [for a black hole] is conclusive," Loeb told Space.com.

After predicting the existence of direct-collapse black holes more than a decade ago, Loeb is excited to see them confirmed by observations.

"It feels good to come up with an idea about how nature might work, but it is exhilarating to find out that nature really behaves the way you thought it does," Loeb said. "The experience is as rewarding as getting love back from a person you love."

Smith and his colleagues published their results last week in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

The Universe's First Galaxies May Light Up Its Dark Ages

A collection of newfound galaxies is illuminating how the early universe broke free from its Dark Ages. The family of galaxies may have played a role in the shift from a time when some light could not penetrate to an era of a transparent universe.

"Stars and black holes in the earliest, brightest galaxies must have pumped out so much ultraviolet light that they quickly broke up hydrogen atoms in the surrounding universe," David Sobral, an astrophysicist at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom, said in a statement. Sobral led an international team of scientists aiming to find several of these early galaxies using the Subaru and Keck telescopes in Hawaii and the Very Large Telescope in Chile. The results were presented today (Monday, June 27) at the National Astronomy Meeting in Nottingham, England.

"The fainter galaxies seem to have stayed shrouded for a lot longer," he said. "Even when they eventually become visible, they show evidence of plenty of opaque material still in place around them." [The Universe: Big Bang to Now in 10 Easy Steps]

In 2015, Sobral led a team that found the first two members of the collection, galaxies CR7 and MASOSA, which might contain the first generation of stars. Together with a third galaxy known as Himiko, discovered by a Japanese team, the presence of the trio of galaxies hinted that a large population of similar objects might exist.

The problem, however, is in spotting them. About 150 million years after the Big Bang kicked off the universe's existence (an event that took place 13.8 billion years ago), the universe was dense with neutral hydrogen that blocked the passage of certain wavelengths of light. As radiation from the earliest stars split apart hydrogen in what scientists call the "epoch of reionization," light began to slowly pass through the surroundings, bringing the Dark Ages to an end.

Each of the five newfound galaxies discussed in the presentation contains a large bubble of ionized (charged) gas around them, suggesting that they haven't managed to completely break free from the Dark Ages.

This timeline summarizes the evolution of the universe, with the Big Bang at left and about 2 billion years into the universe's existence at right. As reionization occurred, radiation emitted by the first stars and black holes cleared out the haze of neutral hydrogen.

"Our results highlight how hard it is to study the small, faint sources in the early universe," said co-author Sergio Santos, a graduate student at Lancaster University.

"The neutral hydrogen gas blocks out some of their light, and because they are not capable of building their own local bubbles as quickly as the bright galaxies, they are much harder to detect," he said.

The fifth of the faraway sources discovered, VR7, is named in tribute to astrophysicist Vera Rubin, who won the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1996, becoming the first woman to win that award in over 150 years.

The young galaxies may be just a handful among the hundreds of thousands of ancient galaxies that might be spotted by future instruments.

"What is really surprising is that the galaxies we find are much more numerous than people assumed, and they have a puzzling diversity," Sobral said. "When telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope are up and running, we will be able to take a closer look at these intriguing objects."

"We have only scratched the surface, and so the next few years will certainly bring fantastic new discoveries," he said.

Wereldbedreigende rampen: hoe eindigt het leven op aarde?

Tim Kraaijvanger

Het is een feit dat het leven op aarde ooit eindigt. Alle soorten die vandaag de dag over onze planeet zwerven, bestaan vanaf dat moment niet meer. De grote vraag is: hoe eindigt leven? En vindt er op korte termijn een massa-extinctie plaats of hebben we nog even de tijd om een andere planeet te vinden?

In het boek ‘Wereldbedreigende rampen‘ somt auteur Bill McGuire verschillende scenario’s op. Hij is hoogleraar geofysische en klimaatdreigingen aan de University College in Londen en heeft dus veel ervaring op het gebied van wereldbedreigende rampen. Tijdens de rampen met de IJslandse vulkaan Eyjafjallajökull en de Indische tsunami adviseerde hij de Britse regering.

Jaarlijks sterven er gemiddeld 106.000 mensen door rampen. Het is niet makkelijk om in één klap ruim zeven miljard mensen uit te roeien. “Veel doemscenario’s van nog veel grotere onheilsprofeten dan ik gaan in werkelijkheid niet over totale ondergang”, schrijft McGuire. “In het ergste geval zou de mensheid flink worden gedecimeerd.” Maar ooit gaat het mis met onze planeet. “We moeten erop rekenen dat we ‘vroeg ten onder gaan’ (zoals John Leslie in zijn boek ‘The End of the World‘ formuleert) in plaats van ‘laat’. De klimaatverandering gaat steeds sneller, de bevolking groeit explosief en is alom verwikkeld in buitensporige conflicten. Al met al zou het grootse avontuur van het menselijk ras wel eens snel ten einde kunnen zijn, in plaats van voort te duren tot ver in de toekomst en de enorme ruimte van de Melkweg.”

KLIMAATVERANDERING IN NEDERLAND

Ook in Nederland merken we de gevolgen van klimaatverandering. De temperatuur neemt toe, waardoor we minder sneeuwwinters krijgen. De kans op een Elfstedentocht neemt af van twintig procent per jaar naar eens per achttien jaar. Een ander duidelijk kenmerk is de toename van neerslag.

Een oven…
Klimaatverandering vormt absoluut een bedreiging. Verandert onze planeet in een diepvries of in een oven? “De wereld van 2100 zal warmer en extremer weer kennen”, voorspelt McGuire.”En dat betekent op z’n minst een veel onprettiger leven voor miljarden mensen. Bewoners van laaggelegen kuststreken krijgen vaker te maken met een stijgende zeespiegel, waardoor fatale overstromingen eerder regel dan uitzondering worden. Steeds meer mensen komen om van de honger, omdat de regens het ene jaar na het andere uitblijven. Enorme gebieden in Afrika en Azië raken in de greep van droogte en hongersnood die er het gevolg van is.”

Het helpt niet mee dat er steeds meer monden gevoed moet worden. “De aarde moet meer dan zeven miljard mensen voeden, kleden en in hun levensonderhoud voorzien. Naar verwachting zijn dit er in 2050 zo’n negen miljard.” Dit levert conflicten op. “Nu al leven 1,7 miljard mensen in landen waar de zoetwatervoorziening ontoereikend is. Over 25 jaar zullen dat er vijf miljard zijn. De strijd om voedsel en water vormt een aanzet tot economische migratie op een schaal waarbij alles wat we tot nu toe hebben gezien in het niet valt. Op veel plekken in de wereld zullen instabiliteit en conflicten het gevolg zijn.”

Zo ver reikte het ijs tijdens de laatste ijstijd.

…of een diepvries?
De meter kan ook de andere kant opslaan. “Gelet op de Milankovic-cycli heeft het huidige interglaciaal zijn langste tijd gehad en stevenen we af op een heuse ijstijd”, zegt de hoogleraar. “Volgens sommigen is er slechts een trigger voor nodig: een plotselinge schok waardoor het klimaatevenwicht aan het wankelen wordt gebracht, waarna het kantelt naar een veel onvriendelijkere toestand.” Als de temperaturen gaan dalen, heeft dit grote gevolgen. “Hoe dan ook – onze nakomelingen krijgen het zwaar wanneer het ijs terugkomt. In Europa, Noord-Amerika, Rusland en Centraal- en Oost-Azië wordt het leven min of meer onmogelijk. De aarde is er tijdens een ijstijd niet op berekend om te voorzien in het levensonderhoud van 8-10 miljard mensen of meer. De mensheid zal sterk worden gedecimeerd door wijdverbreide hongersnood en oorlogen, maar zal ongetwijfeld overleven.”

Actie tegen klimaatverandering
Het is gelukkig nog niet te laat om actie te ondernemen. “Maar dan moeten we wereldwijd onze levensstijl veranderen”, schrijft McGuire. “Geen wegwerpsamenleving meer, maar één die effectief en efficiënt gebruik van energie en grondstoffen bevordert en beloont. Het enige dat werkt is doortastend overgaan op duurzame ontwikkeling. Minder brandstof verbruiken, investeren in hernieuwbare energiebronnen, veel meer recyclen en plaatselijk produceren (bijv. stadslandbouw, red.).”

Supererupties
Maar er is meer waar we voor op moeten passen. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan supererupties en reusachtige tsunami’s. Een gigantische uitbarsting in een uithoek van de wereld kan het klimaat veranderen, waardoor de samenleving ten onder gaat. “Maar liefst 450 miljoen jaar geleden – gedurende het Ordovicium – lijken as en gloedwolken in wat nu Noord-Amerika is alles te hebben weggevaagd over een oppervlak van een miljoen vierkante kilometer. Bovendien moeten er enorme hoeveelheden as en stof in de atmosfeer zijn beland.” Stel dat het een periode ‘donker’ blijft: hoe gaan we ons dan voeden? Ontwikkelde landen als Duitsland, de Verenigde Staten en Australië hebben slechts genoeg voorraad om de bevolking één, maar niet meer dan twee maanden te voeden. De kans dat iemand die nu leeft een supereruptie meemaakt, is 1 op 714. Het is onwaarschijnlijk dat een supereruptie alle mensen uitroeit, maar onze mondiale technologische samenleving blijft mogelijk niet intact.

Wereldwijd zijn er zo’n veertig supervulkanen. De caldera van Yellowstone getuigt van een superuitbarsting 640.000 jaar geleden.

Daarnaast zijn er nog reuzentsunami’s, die kunnen ontstaan wanneer vulkanen instorten. Dit gebeurt naar schatting eens per tienduizend jaar. Of aardbevingen, waardoor dichtbevolkte steden in ruïnes veranderen. Beide rampen zullen niet het einde voor de mensheid betekenen, maar er gaan wel veel levens verloren.

Gevaar van boven
Het echte gevaar komt van boven. “Om de vijf minuten verbrandt een fragment ter grootte van een erwt in onze atmosfeer”, zegt McGuire. “Elke maand doet een homp ter grootte van een voetbal de hemel oplichten. Om de paar eeuwen botst de aarde met een object van veertig tot vijftig meter. Dit is groot genoeg om een stad weg te vagen.” Wanneer een object 1,5 tot twee kilometer groot is, dan is er sprake van een mondiaal probleem. Tientallen miljoenen mensen sterven waarschijnlijk direct, terwijl de rest van de mensheid kampt met de gevolgen van de inslag: meer stof in de atmosfeer en dalende temperaturen. Gelukkig is er ook hier hoop. “Als we lang genoeg van te voren weten dat een asteroïde ons gaat raken, kunnen we in bepaalde situaties het object weg duwen.”

Er is hoop
Over honderd jaar leven er tussen de 3,2 miljard en 24,8 miljard mensen op aarde. Dit is afhankelijk van allerlei factoren. Misschien moeten we maar hopen dat de toekomstige aarde minder mensen huisvest, want de toekomst voor onze nakomelingen wordt warmer, onherbergzamer en armer aan grondstoffen. “Op de korte termijn krijgen we misschien de ene klap na de andere”, concludeert McGuire. “Maar mogelijk leren we onze omgeving koesteren in plaats van er roofbouw op te plegen, hier op aarde voordat de zon ons uiteindelijk opslokt. En misschien later in het zonnestelsel, melkwegstelsel en daarbuiten. Dan hebben we de tijd om bijna alles te doen en te zijn.”

Moon Photobombs Earth in New NASA Video

NASA captures moon photobombing Earth, Watch stunning video| Oneindia News

https://youtu.be/kglnBubi_FU

A NASA satellite in just the right position captured a spectacular celestial photobomb — a view of the moon moving in front of the sunlit side of Earth.

It is only the second time in a year that the NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite, orbiting about 1 million miles (1,609,344 kilometers) away from Earth, captured the moon crossing Earth's face, resulting in a spectacular time-lapse video.

"For the second time in the life of DSCOVR, the moon moved between the spacecraft and Earth,” Adam Szabo, DSCOVR project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a statement. "The project recorded this event on July 5 with the same cadence and spatial resolution as the first ‘lunar photobomb’ of last year." [Earth from Above: 101 Stunning Images from Orbit

Although DSCOVR's primary mission is to monitor solar wind in real time for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the satellite is also known for its stunning images of Earth, which are captured by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) — a 4-megapixel CCD camera and telescope on the DSCOVR satellite.

Due to DSCOVR's position between the sun and Earth, EPIC maintains aconstant view of the fully illuminated Earth as it rotates on its axis.

"It's surprising how much brighter Earth is than the moon," Szabo said in a statement about last year's moon images. "Our planet is a truly brilliant object in dark space compared to the lunar surface."

The moon is tidally locked to Earth, so the same face is always pointing toward the planet. DSCOVR offers a unique view of the moon's far side, which can be seen when the satellite's orbit intersects the lunar orbit. The two orbits intersect only four times a year, and the moon only appears between the spacecraft and Earth once or twice a year, depending on the relative orbital phases of the moon and DSCOVR, according to NASA.

This latest crossing of paths was captured by combining three images taken about 30 seconds apart. EPIC uses three separate monochrome exposures — red, blue and green — to generate "natural color" images of Earth.

The images were taken between July 4 at 11:50 p.m. EDT and July 5 at 3:18 a.m. EDT. The moon can be seen moving over the Indian and Pacific oceans, with the North Pole at the top of the images.

How Misinformation Spreads On The Internet

A team of researchers have conducted a five-year-long study on a wide range of Facebook users in a quest to find out how misinformation blossoms online. In their paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they note that it may be due to the nature of so-called “echo chambers,” spaces that allow people to amplify their own belief systems without obstruction.

In this sense, echo chambers describe certain areas of the media, particularly the Internet, wherein information or beliefs are reinforced by repetitive transmission inside an enclosed virtual space. These spaces, which also serve to keep contrasting views at bay, may explain why there are so many groups of people online – particularly on Facebook – that steadfastly believe information that is demonstrably nonsensical.

In order to investigate how effective these echo chambers were, 67 public Facebook pages – 32 regarding conspiracy theories and 35 related to science news – were comprehensively analyzed each and every time a post appeared, including how the followers interacted with it, from 2010 to 2014. Conspiracy theory sites include those that reject the overwhelming consensus on contemporary climate change, and those that believe that Jade Helm 15 – a series of military training exercises that occurred across the U.S. last year – were actually interpreted as signs of animpending civil war.

A third group consisting of two trolling pages, those that intentionally disseminate sarcastic, false information for potentially humorous effect, was also taken into account. These trolling websites acted as the experiment’s control group.

The researchers found that the way posts are initially distributed are the same for the science and conspiracy theory posts. Within the first two hours, and again after 20 hours of being posted, a post is shared most frequently, regardless of topic or validity – mostly with those that agree with their views.

However, a difference is noted in the long term. Science news is spread relatively quickly across the web, before sharing and discussion of the post drops off. Conversely, conspiracy theoriesbuild momentum more slowly before being shared and discussed increasingly for a longer period of time. This also means that conspiracy theories that gradually gain traction can eventually persist online, regardless of their limited factual basis.

Most significantly, however, is that the long-term online behavior of any type of group user both constructs and strengthens their own echo chambers. Individual people, publications or news organizations whose posts you click on or comment on more frequently will appear in your News Feed more often as a result; those you ignore will fade into near-complete obscurity.

This in itself is an echo chamber, one where the information fed back to you is reinforced by your online interactions. Eventually, therefore, a user’s Facebook space may exclusively include information that they believe in, and people that only agree with them.

A claim, whether it is substantiated or not, is given credence in the mind of an individual if the surrounding society deems it acceptable. This is known as confirmation bias, and this study shows that the phenomenon is just as prevalent in online communities as it is in physical ones. In the case of misinformation, this is incredibly dangerous – so much so that theWorld Economic Forum has declared its online spread, a form of “digital wildfire,” one of the main threats to global society.

15 Movies That Prepared Us For An Alien Invasion

15. WAR OF THE WORLDS

Lesson Learned: Befriend Tom Cruise.

In 1938, the world was emotionally unprepared for an alien invasion. Orson Welles’ Halloween radio broadcast of War of the Worlds, the H.G. Wells sci-fi novel, caused chaos in the streets. Welles’ theater company’s radio play induced widespread terror across America, inciting riots, panic and rumors of suicide. The broadcast sounded so authentic in describing the invading alien force that one woman ran into an Indianapolis church, screaming, “New York has been destroyed! It’s the end of the world! Go home and prepare to die!”

Though modern audiences knew what they were watching, Steven Spielberg’s 2005 re-imagining of War of the Worlds still packed in a lot of scares. While diverging from Wells’ classic invasion story by having the tripods be previously planted beneath earth’s surface, Spielberg unflinchingly depicts the aliens’ attempt at incinerating and harvesting mankind. These tripods are hunters and gatherers of the most devious kind, and unless your name is Tom Cruise or Dakota Fanning, they’ll have their way with you. How to survive? Get out of the streets, seek shelter and avoid shotgun-toting loonies like Harlan Ogilvy (Tim Robbins).

14. INDEPENDENCE DAY

Lesson Learned: Fly Air Force One.

Roland Emmerich has made a lot of disaster epics, though none are as beloved as Independence Day. Replete with vintage Will Smith, crazy-good Randy Quaid, nerd-master Jeff Goldblum and Greek-orator Bill Pullman, ID:4 teaches us how to retaliate against an alien species bent on total annihilation. Thanks to Pullman’s rousing speech, the movie also shows that a global invasion would quickly surrender mankind’s petty differences and demand intercontinental teamwork in the fight to survive.

As with War of the Worlds, victory lies in disabling the alien’s force fields. While countless souls must perish to do so, simply hijack a downed alien aircraft and fly it into the mother ship. After watching Will Smith work his magic, you’ll know what to do from there. Hopefully, Independence Day: Resurgence will give us of more of the goods.

13. 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

Lesson Learned: Always carry a whiskey bottle.

Thanks to its clever framing of the invasion genre, this Cloverfield interquel posits whether humans can be as ruthless as aliens during times of uncertainty. For Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.), there appear to be few differences between getting attacked by aliens and being held captive by the taciturn Howard (John Goodman). To the vigilant farmer’s credit, however, building an underground, air-locked bunker may be the best resistance to impending invasion.

In director Dan Trachtenberg’s covertly-released but successful film, the aliens wage chemical warfare, crop-dusting the helpless populace with an airborne weapon of unknown origin. Using both her brain and brawn, Michelle investigates the aliens outside with a DIY-hazmat suit of her own. As she quickly discovers, it may have been best to stay underground

12. PREDATOR

Lesson Learned: Run. Being pursued by an invisible creature is an almost spiritual dilemma.

In John McTiernan’s 1987 classic, Predator, that terrifying conundrum is brought to life. After a restless squadron of commandos is sent on a rescue mission to a distant jungle, the team is steadily dismantled by a cloaked alien killer.

As the death toll rises, Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenneger) is forced to meet the Predator on equal ground. Using H2O as a disabling agent for the alien’s invisibility, Dutch cakes himself in mud to further escape its infrared vision. When Dutch finally out-dukes the Predator, he realizes the alien is pre-programmed for self-destruction, rendering their entire cage match an utterly worthless affair.

Fun fact: Shane Black, who has penned a sequel to the film that he also intends to direct, starred in the original film as the highly disposable Hawkins.

11. THE WORLD’S END

Lesson Learned: Finish your beer.

If the alien apocalypse comes upon us, nothing will be more important than our friends. Edgar Wright’s bookend to the Cornetto trilogy, The World’s End, imagines an alien invasion that replaces humans with androids.

Both a commentary on suburbia and a fantasy adventure about protecting your turf, The World’s End follows Gary King (Simon Pegg) and his friends Peter (Eddie Marsan), Oliver (Martin Freeman), Steven (Paddy Considine) and Andy (Nick Frost) as they seek to complete “the Golden Mile” pub crawl. Years after their botched 1990 effort, the five gentleman prepare to reach the 12th pub intact, The World’s End. Unfortunately, their past comes back to haunt them as hordes of old acquaintances have since become devious androids led by The Network (voiced by Bill Nighy). This pub crawl gives a whole new meaning to “leave no man behind.”

10. CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND

Lesson Learned: Some aliens like music.

Steven Spielberg has built his career on curiosity. In his first extraterrestrial drama, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, he fashions a world of wonderment. While their force is magnetic and psychologically influential, the aliens in this 1977 adventure are more harmless than hell-bent.

Based off the classifications of astronomer and ufologist, J. Allen Hynek, “close encounters” refers to the proximity of a human interaction with aliens. While many individuals may be able to claim a close encounter of the first kind (witnessing an unidentified flying object in the distance), close encounters of the third kind refer to the undeniable presence of an alien beings. In Spielberg’s film, several individuals are drawn to Devil’s Tower anticipating an alien interaction, including Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) and Barry Guiler (Cary Guffey). Their imagination and instincts take them to a place of discovery and awe.

9. CONTACT

Lesson Learned: Keep looking.

The one film featured here without an honest to goodness invasion, Contact sets up a universe where intergalactic relations could become possible. In Robert Zemeckis’ daring film that unites the religious, the scientific and the political, we meet Eleanor Arroway (Jodie Foster), a woman who has dedicated her life to making contact with extraterrestrial life.

Her drive to touch the unknown is fueled by the early death of both her parents. Rejected by Congressional funding and doubted by her colleagues, Eleanor spends years reaching out into the great beyond without any signals meeting her on the way. This, of course, changes in Zemeckis’ story, as Eleanor makes contact with alien life and gets the opportunity to travel 25 light years away so she can meet them. Call it Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind.

8. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951)

Lesson Learned: Some come in peace.

In the midst of the Cold War, a large extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Its presence throws the world for a whirl, and when Klaatu (Michael Rennie) exits his platinum ship, the civilians go mad. Tanks and military flank the flying saucer and one particularly jumpy soldier shoots the alien being as he approaches. Down for the count, Klaatu rises up and welcomes his massive bodyguard named Gort, a metallic android with incinerating heat-seeking vision. As he emerges from the ship and walks down its futuristic runway, the crowd gasps in horror.

Despite all of this, the aliens in Robert Wise’s film don’t want to fight. On a mission of peace, Klaatu declares that an intergalactic tribunal has monitored earth’s violent activity and demanded they call an end to their aggression. The Day the Earth Stood Still is more a cautionary tale than one of destruction. Perhaps this explains the lack of interest in the film’s 2008 remake, which depicted the end of the world, rather than continuing the original movie’s focus on preventing that scenario.

7. SIGNS

Lesson Learned: Cornfields are creepy.

Crop circles have bewildered mankind for years. How perfect, then, for M. Night Shyamalan to prey upon these insecurities and build an alien adventure around them. In Signs, his pseudo-religious and extraterrestrial sci-fi film, Shyamalan localizes the fear of invasion to a small-town, Catholic family led by Father Graham Hess (Mel Gibson). Since the death of his wife and the growing “signs” of supernatural disturbances around his house, Hess has distanced himself from his priestly duties. Hearing of global “light” sightings, Graham and his family barricade themselves from the threat.

Unfortunately, their house has already been targeted. Along with its thrills, the movie’s underrated sense of humor is greatly welcome amid the creepy cornfield. When Graham and Merrill dart out of the house to pursue the encroaching alien, Graham shouts, “Ah! I’m insane with anger!” Running around the house, he follows up that gem with, “I’m losing my mind!” Few actors could pull this off with confidence equal to Mel Gibson.

6. DISTRICT 9

Lesson Learned: Judge not, lest ye be judged.

Neill Blomkamp’s 2009 sci-fi film solidified the director as a big-budget storyteller with indie-film sentiments. District 9 depicts an alternate universe where South Africa has been visited by a massive alien mothership that hovers over the country and infests its population with malnourished creatures called Prawns. This is a different sort of invasion than we’re used to seeing, however. More of a political and social culture clash than all-out war, District 9 creates an immigration morality play, asking how we might coexist with an alien species. Drawing on timeless international themes of migration and the long history of internment, Blomkamp sympathizes with the Prawns’ plight by having his leading man, Wikus van de Merwe (Sharlto Copley), become the very thing he was hired to fight against.

5. ATTACK THE BLOCK

Lesson Learned: Stick together.

Another cult classic in the making, Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block turns south London gangbangers into the ultimate resistance against alien beasts. Starring John Boyega as the gang leader Moses, Attack the Block chooses unlikely heroes to defend their turf from gorilla-like extraterrestrials. Produced by Edgar Wright and Big Talk Pictures (home of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and more), the movie pulsates with energy and tension.

While it may be low budget in comparison to other films in the genre, Attack the Block packs a punch every minute its on screen. Not without its own share of social commentary, Cornish’s invasion epic briefly examines inner city violence. Amid the carnage and chaos, Moses posits that the government is to blame: “Government probably bred those things to kill black boys. First they sent in drugs, then they sent guns and now they’re sending monsters in to kill us. They don’t care, man. We ain’t killing each other fast enough. So they decided to speed up the process.”

4. EDGE OF TOMORROW

Lesson Learned: Live. Die. Do it better.

Doug Liman’s revitalizing sci-fi entry somehow found humor in the apocalypse. Through the eyes of combat newbie and PR officer Bill Cage (Tom Cruise), we are taken on an adventure against the invading alien race, the Mimics. Hyper fast, violent and seemingly omniscient, the Mimics have steadily beaten back mankind to its last stronghold in England. When Cage is forced to join a modern D-Day assault on France, he and his squadron are decimated within minutes of landing on the beach.

After killing a massive Mimic, Cage dies covered in its blood and wakes up back at the base. Time has reversed, thanks to a bilious baptism that has given him the gift of Groundhog Day. Like in a video game with endless respawns, Cage steadily charts a course to victory through a series of violent trial and error. With the help of Rita Vrataski (played by a lean and mean Emily Blunt), Cage finds a way to use his newfound powers to end the invasion.

3. MARS ATTACKS!

Lesson Learned: If it quacks like a duck…

Out of all the preeminent sci-fi sendup films, Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! reigns supreme. Beyond the top-shelf cast and the dual performances of the zany Jack Nicholson, Burton’s ridiculous action-romp bends, breaks and borrows every cliche in the book. Lampooning the science fiction films of the ’50s, Burton imbues Mars Attacks! with enough one-dimensional characters and bland alien villains to completely destroy the genre.

Forgoing the vintage social commentary of films like The Day the Earth Stood Still, Burton gives his aliens ray guns that blow away all sense of subtlety. As Jack Nicholson’s President Dale so diplomatically inquires, “Why can’t we work out our differences? Why can’t we work things out? Little people, why can’t we all just get along?” Critics may have been split on the film, but loyal audiences have since turned Mars Attacks! into a cult classic.

2. MEN IN BLACK

Lesson Learned: The (alien) revolution will not be televised.

With a revolutionary approach to the sci-fi genre, director Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black created a world where aliens and humans live side by side. The goal, according to Jay (Will Smith) and Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), is to keep that dangerous truth a secret for as long as possible. While interviewing to become Kay’s partner, Jay asserts that people can handle the reality that aliens are already present on earth. Kay shoots down his optimism, saying “People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”

As a result, the MIB agency stands to protect people from what they can’t comprehend while uprooting the truly dangerous aliens at large. This includes Edgar the Bug, played by Vincent D’Onofrio in a role that combines Jim Carrey’s wild antics with the fierceness of Wilson Fisk. Hopefully, some of that old alien magic will be retained for the forthcoming Men in Black/21 Jump Street crossover movie.

1. THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978)

Lesson Learned: Never fall asleep.

In one of the greatest allegories in science fiction, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers tells of an extraterrestrial coup that replaces emotional and sentient humans with blank copies of themselves. As Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) discovers in Philip Kauffman’s remake of the original 1956 film, these body-swaps happen while people sleep. When Bennell happens upon a mossy and glazed clone of himself growing in a garden, he bludgeons it to smithereens with a rusted shovel. Impostors be damned! There can only be one Donald Sutherland.

Unfortunately, the Pod People, the alien beings perpetuating this mass replacement, know that Matthew and everyone else will eventually succumb to sleep. Showing indifference and a lack of emotion may help you blend in, but only for some time. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers is perhaps the most insidious alien attack in any film, leaving audiences with a truly devastating finale.

Russia declassified secret images from Venus that show extraterrestrial life

The Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, published a series of photographs, taken by the Venera probe which allegedly show evidence of living organisms on Venus, one of the most inhospitable places for humans in the solar system. Venus, the second planet from the sun is the most similar planet in our solar system in terms of size and structure to Earth.  In terms of the surface it is anything but Earth-like.

It is the hottest planet in the solar system, mainly due to its atmosphere which is 97 percent carbon dioxide, a heat trapping greenhouse gas.

The constant temperature on Venus is 480 degrees Celsius, a temperature which is hot enough to melt lead and it even hotter than the nearest planet to the Sun, Mercury.

According to Russian scientist Leonid Ksanfomaliti, this image, taken from a Russian probe that landed on Venus in 1982, we can see a scorpion-shaped life form

According to an explanation by Leonid Ksanfomaliti, doctor of physical and mathematical science, at the Institute of Space Research, the images taken 30 years ago reveal the movement of extremely strange objects on the surface of Venus.

NASA quickly went on to debunk the discovery. As explained, the ‘disc’ that is seen moving on the surface is a lens cap, and the ‘scorpion-like-creature’ proposed by Ksanfomaliti is actually ‘noise’ in a second-hand picture which isn’t present in the original image.

Ksanfomaliti believes that in the images, a scorpion-shaped creature, a disk and a ‘black flap’ are visible moving in front of the onboard camera of the Venera 13.

According to reports from a Russian news agency Ksanfomaliti explained in an article of the Russian journal Solar System Research magazine: ‘They all ’emerge, fluctuate and disappear,

‘What if we forget about the current theories about the non-existence of life on Venus, let’s boldly suggest that the objects’ morphological features would allow us to say that they are living,’ he added.

But American counterparts seem to firmly disagree with Ksanfomaliti. Ted Stryk who is a photo analyst at NASA says it is more likely that the disc Ksanfomaliti is talking about could have come from the spacecraft.

‘Venera-13 had two cameras, one in front and one in back. The one image shows the front camera lens cap and the other shows the rear camera lens cap, not one lens cap that moved,’ he says, in comments on Life’s Little Mysteries.

NASA says there is no way that anything can survive on Venus today. However, scientists have not ruled out that once, in the distant past, Venus might have supported life, in a time when the planet might have had giant oceans and possibly life, before the ‘greenhouse effect’ created the temperatures that rule over the planet today.

‘Current theories suggest that Venus and the Earth may have started out alike. There might have been a lot of water on Venus and there might have been a lot of carbon dioxide on Earth,’ Professor Andrew Ingersoll of Caltech said in a paper published in Astrobiology in 2004.

Images of the surface of Venus taken by the Soviet Venera-13 descent module in 1982

The problem with science and scholars in search for extraterrestrial life is that mankind believes that for life to exist elsewhere in the solar system or universe, a planet should have a similar climate and conditions to those of Earth.

What if elsewhere, on Venus perhaps, there are living beings which need scorching temperatures in order to survive, beings that can breathe carbon dioxide and cannot survive with water or oxygen. In order to search more adequately for extraterrestrial life, we need to change the conditions and patterns for extraterrestrial life.

Russische stealthbommenwerper moet kernbommen afvuren vanuit ruimte - HLN.be

Bron: IBT

Ter illustratie: een B-2 bommenwerper. © thinkstock.

Rusland werkt aan een nieuw soort stealthbommenwerper die op slechts twee uur naar eender welke plaats ter wereld kan vliegen en een kernaanval kan lanceren vanuit de ruimte. De eerste testen met een prototype van de motor waren succesvol. De hypersonische PAK-DA-bommenwerper, die onzichtbaar is voor radartechnologie, zal naar verwachting vanaf 2020 de lucht ingaan.

De PAK-DA wordt uitgerust met een speciale hybride Turbofan-motor, die het toestel in staat stelt om een lage ruimtevlucht te maken. Zolang de bommenwerper zich bevindt binnen de atmosfeer van de aarde zal hij vliegen op kerosine. Eens in de ruimte, schakelt de motor over op methaan en zuurstof, waardoor de PAK-DA zonder lucht kan vliegen. 

Het vliegtuig is ontworpen om op te stijgen op gewone luchthavens en naar de ruimte te vliegen met een lading langeafstandsraketten, waaronder hypersonische kernraketten. Van daaruit zal het aanvallen op doelwitten kunnen uitvoeren alvorens terug te keren naar de basis.

Wapenwedloop

Rusland, China en de VS zijn momenteel verwikkeld in een nieuwe wapenwedloop voor de ontwikkeling van hypersonische vliegtuigen en raketten die tot vijf keer sneller zijn dan de geluidssnelheid. 

De PAK-DA wordt ontwikkeld door het Tupolev Design Bureau, dat ook de beruchte Tu-95-bommenwerpers ontwerp. De voorbije maanden werden herhaaldelijk Tu-95's in de buurt van het Britse luchtruim gesignaleerd.

2020

Generaal Sergei Karakayev, commandant van de Russische Strategische Raketmacht, bevestigt dat een prototype van de motor al gebouwd en getest werd. "De inzetbaarheid van de eenheid is bewezen. We bekijken nu de aanpassingen, wat ongeveer een jaar zal duren. Zodra we het eens zijn over de plannen, zullen we de motor zelf beginnen bouwen. In het tweede jaar van de ontwikkeling (2018) zullen we de hardware bouwen. Misschien loop ik te hard van stapel en duiken er enkele problemen op, maar tegen 2020 zouden we een volledig functionerend product moeten hebben." 

De motor van de PAK-DA wordt tentoongesteld tijdens het Internationale Militaire Technologieforum in Moskou in september.

MYSTERY OF THE TAYOS CAVE - LEGENDARY METAL LIBRARY FOUND IN ECUADOR

In what maybe one of the biggest discoveries ever, a team of explorers is claiming that they have found the legendary golden library and other mysterious treasures in the Tayos Cave system in Ecuador.

 

 THE LEGENDARY GOLDEN LIBRARY 

 

The team announced that they accidentally found some hidden tunnels that were obviously dug out artificially sometime in the ancient past while inside one of the main chambers. The team was able to follow one of these tunnels for approximately ½ mile and came upon a large room containing the golden library and various other treasures. 

 

 

Below is a list of what the explorers claim to have found in this chamber:

 

 1. A library with thousands of metal books. The team was unable to specify what metal the books were made of but the look was similar to silver. Each page had symbols and strange writing on them.

 

 2. Individual plates with writing on them and strange symbols that looked to be made of gold. 

 

3. At least several hundred statues of insects, animals and humans spread throughout the large chamber.

 

 4. Lots of metal bars thought to be both gold and/or silver. Also found were various children’s toys and jewelry items made from gold or silver. 

 

As of right now, the team has only announced their findings onto a radio show and no other announcements have been made so the jury is still out as too whether their claims are completely true.

 

 The team did claim to have samples of at least one of the metal books, one golden plate and several small statues that they will be submitting to professional testing so hopefully this will give us answers shortly

The Nazi Antarctic fortress: Base 211 and Operation Highjump

SETI: “To find ET’s we must open our minds and have a less anthropocentric stance”

To find ET, we must open our minds beyond a deeply-rooted, Earth-centric perspective, expand our research methods and deploy new tools. Advanced intelligent life is probably abundant in the universe, but can be very different from us. We need to understand how to identify it. In order to do so, a radical change in current methodologies is needed.

---

 

Research director of SETI, Nathalie Cabrol, proposes a more multidisciplinary approach in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, beyond radio and optics. According to Cabrol, we must remain open-minded about Alien lifeforms and have a lesser anthropocentric stance when looking for ET.

 

In an article published in the journal Astrobiology, Cabrol suggests the need for a radical change in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, with a combination of physical, biological, computer and social sciences, joined on a mission to search for life in different forms we may not even know exists.

 

Cabrol asserts that “To find ET, we must open our minds beyond a deeply-rooted, Earth-centric perspective, expand our research methods and deploy new tools.  Never before has so much data been available in so many scientific disciplines to help us grasp the role of probabilistic events in the development of extraterrestrial intelligence. These data tell us that each world is a unique planetary experiment. Advanced intelligent life is likely plentiful in the universe, but may be very different from us, based on what we now know of the co-evolution of life and environment.”

 

Led by pioneers such as Frank Drake and Jill Tarter, SETI-the Search for extraterrestrial intelligence began in the 1960s using radio astronomy to ‘listen’ to potential signals sent from our cosmic neighbours. Today, we search for radio and optical signals generated by a technology similar to ours. And even though there are compelling reasons to continue with these efforts, it is equally convincing expand the search criteria and accept existing and other methodologies that might prove useful in the near future.

 

Advanced intelligent life is probably abundant in the universe, but can be very different from us.

 

This is why Cabrol promotes the establishment of a Virtual Institute with the participation of the global scientific community. The new Virtual SETI Institute would integrate our new knowledge to understand who aliens might be and where they might be located. Cabrol proposes we should break the constraints imposed by only suggesting extraterrestrial necessarily needs to be similar to us.

 

• “The timing is right for SETI research around the world to open a new chapter in its history. The SETI Institute is taking the lead on this new path,” says Bill Diamond, President, and CEO of the SETI Institute. “In the coming months, we will invite the US and international research communities to contribute to a new scientific roadmap for SETI. We will explore resources for the development of a Virtual Institute, and an intellectual framework for projects focused on the advancement of knowledge on extraterrestrial intelligence,” said Cabrol.

Morse Code Message On The Surface Of Mars Has Found, Message From Aliens, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery:  July 2016
Location of discovery:  Mars

I have noticed this a lot about things on Mars. There is an evenly spaced about of distance that make many things appear to be created by an intelligent hand. Just yesterday I found a closeup of rocks near the rover with just such an occurrence. Its unbelievable, and should be impossible, and yet, here it is, evidence of an alien culture in front of us.

Four UFOs Over Memphis, Tennessee Following Jet On July 12, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: July 12, 2016
Location of sighting: Memphis, Tennessee, USA
News Source: MUFON report #77636

This is interesting. A group of metallic orbs was seen coming out of a cloud and was near a plane flying past. Perhaps the orbs were hiding and waiting for planes, so they could scan the technology. My favorite part of the eyewitness description is that he noticed the orbs come out of the cloud before he took the photo. Excellent.

Eyewitness states:
I was at work when I took this photo. I work in Memphis,Tn. The warehouse is only maybe 5 miles from Memphis international Airport. I was on my lunch break from 1230 to 1 o'clock Pm. I Saw a large military cargo plane ( the kind that drops tanks out of the back with parachutes attached) taking off from the airport heading south, then turned to head east as it was taking off. The plane made a small maneuver, ( I thought to myself that the huge plane shouldn't try that at such a slow speed.) as the metallic orbs appeared out of the small clouds. I grabbed my phone to try and capture both the plane and the orbs closer together.The military plane can still be seen very well by zooming in. I stopped looking at the orbs to check the photo for both plane and orbs,GOT THEM BOTH, when I looked back to the sky I didnt see the orbs any more. Also there appears to be a bird flying close to one of the orbs. I Am including a screenshot of the details from the photo along with the photo, and map of where I work showing the airport. Enjoy. Also I have seen Chinook helicopters flying in groups of three for the past few days, just throwing that in there.

UFO-shaped objects Seen on the A34 On UK Freeway, Gov Tries To Explain It Away, July 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: July 2016

News source:

http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/14613751.Is_it_a_bird__is_it_a_plane__Mystery_of_UFO_shaped_objects_on_the_A34_solved/

This is really strange. In the UK this week a fleet of semi trucks were seen carrying dozens of UFOs on their flatbeds. These UFOs have plastic tarps over them with Chinese writing that says, "do not move." Is it possible that the Royal Air Force is transporting prototypes of a flying disk that they made using alien technology from crashes? I think its feasible. I also have to laugh at the governments excuse...since they are calling these wind turbines. I've seen wind turbines, and they don't look anything like this. The USAF did participate in a flying disk shaped UFO back in the 1990s called Project Aurora. This may be its evolution.

UK News states: 
Commuters on the A34 might have been forgiven for thinking they were in the middle of an alien invasion yesterday morning when 'flying saucers' arrived on the road.

Two lorries carrying the huge saucer-shaped objects were part of a convoy which was spotted travelling past Oxford. Further investigation revealed they were parts of a wind turbine being transported. 

The vehicles were caught in heavy rain as they made their journey in hazardous conditions.

UFO Over New York City World Trade Center By Tourist On May 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Source: MUFON #77629

Here's an interesting UFO over the World Trade Center. This UFO is unusual because it seems to have two tails, and it has a rocket like shape to it. The fact that this is over the World Trade Center shows me that aliens have a lot of interest not just in the old building, but also in the new buildings that have symbolic meaning to the country. If you go to a cultural location that has a special meaning to people, look up once in a while, you might get lucky and see a UFO.

First of all sorry for my English writing. We were visiting WTC groundzero with my wife. I was capturing continously without focusing a spesific object. I captured many photos. In one minute I captured 3 photos consecutively. After holiday while I and my wife viewing photos we found an unknown object and it was flying above. We didn't detect it with naked eyes when we were visiting WTC. I don't belive that US Goverment lets an ordinary vechile to fly above WTC. Maybe this is an undetected vechile or it was a Made in USA UFO. In photo 1 there are colorful circles. In Photo 2 that circles are replacing and an UFO appears suddenly. In photo 3 there is no light no UFO. I want professionals to analyze the images and I am so curious about results. I was not a believer but I was ready to believe. Now I want to believe!

Policeman Sees Tall Whites In The Middle of The Field With Crop Circle Formation

A shocking claim of a policeman made the rounds online. Several tall white aliens reportedly emerged in a newly-built crop circle in Wiltshire.

The officer, who chooses not to be named to protect his career, was off duty when strange beings emerged in the middle of a field with crop circle formation.

The man noticed an activity from a distance and stopped his car to investigate after having a strange feeling about it.

He reportedly approached the trio, which he described as taller than six feet with long blond hair. However, the trio ran away after the police officer heard the sound of static electricity. To the witness’ surprise, the three men ran away faster than any other human beings.

The officer considered the event as almost unreal, which apparently happened on July 6, 2009.

After the trio had run away, the witness drove straight back to Marlborough in Wiltshire. He later contacted paranormal experts and crop circle investigators, Andrew Russell and Colin Andrews.

Mr. Russell said that the witness initially thought there were forensic officers in the field as they were dressed in white coverall. The unusual figures seemed to be checking the crop.

The noise was still around after the trio ran away from the witness. The police officer claimed to experience a pounding headache that he could not shift afterward.

Colin is convinced to the testimony of the police officer. Colin added that he saw no reason at all why the police would make up the story. He believes that there’s too much additional information to say that the event is something in nothing with the unusual movement of the beings and the poltergeist experiences.

The experts suggest that the three were part of Tall Whites, an alien race that has been the subject of several sightings throughout the years.

Meanwhile, a Wiltshire Police spokesman refused to comment on the news because the reporting witness was off duty, making it a personal, not a police matter.

ITALY: Watch Flying Saucer Appears In Dark Clouds

A video recently caught the attention of online UFO followers as it shows a flying saucer that seems to stalk a jet airliner. The UFO appeared from dark clouds in a video that intentionally aimed to an aircraft flying through a massive lightning storm.

The apparent disk-shaped object in the video is somewhat hiding behind clouds and traveling behind a passenger plane. The footage was captured over Italy, and the unidentified flying object showed up after a sudden flash of lightning.

Enthusiasts have been debating the connection between UFOs and atmospheric electrical phenomenon – thunder and lightning storms.

Many believe that alien ships cause lightning or are pulled to it. They suggest that UFOs like this one fly without lights and appear to be stealth craft. However, flashes of lightning reveal their presence in the middle of night clouds. They believe that advanced alien ships gather energy from electrical discharges – like charging their batteries with the lightning.

Just late in June, footage showing fireball UFOs in the sky amidst a thunderstorm in Buffalo, New York made rounds online. It also sparked debates with many commenters saying that these UFOs were alien craft possibly harvesting energy from lightning or perhaps studying thunderstorm phenomenon.

Mars Rover Curiosity Bounces Back from Glitch

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is back in action after being sidelined by a glitch for a week.

Curiosity put itself into a protective "safe mode" on July 2 after noticing an anomaly. But the rover's handlers brought the six-wheeled robot out of safe mode on Saturday (July 9), and Curiosity is resuming full operations today (July 11), NASA officials said.

The Curiosity team is still investigating the events of July 2, but they think they know what happened.

"The most likely cause of entry into safe mode has been determined to be a software mismatch in one mode of how image data are transferred on board," NASA officials wrote in an update today. "Science activity planning for the rover is avoiding use of that mode, which involves writing images from some cameras’ memories into files on the rover’s main computer. Alternate means are available for handling and transmitting all image data."

The car-size Curiosity rover has now entered safe mode four times since touching down inside Mars' 96-mile-wide (154 kilometers) Gale Crater in August 2012, recovering fully every time. The other three safe-mode events all occurred in 2013.

The main goal of Curiosity's $2.5 billion mission is to determine whether or not Gale Crater has ever been capable of supporting microbial life. Curiosity's observations have allowed team members to conclude that Gale Crater once hosted a long-lasting system of lakes and streams, suggesting that the area was indeed habitable billions of years ago.

A 'Curiosity' 

NASA's Curiosity rover — the centerpiece of NASA's $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission — landed on Mars Aug. 5. How much do you know about Curiosity and its mission?

 

Since September 2014, Curiosity has been exploring the foothills of the 3-mile-high (5 km) Mount Sharp, which rises from Gale's center. The rover is studying the different rock layers in the area as it climbs, searching for clues about when and why the Red Planet shifted from a warm and relatively wet world in the ancient past to the cold, dry place it is today.

The rover should keep mountaineering for a while, provided it stays healthy; NASA recently extended Curiosity's mission through October 2018.

Did Supernova Explosion Contribute to Earth Mass Extinction?

A faraway supernova explosion may have contributed to a minor mass extinction here on Earth 2.59 million years ago, a new study suggests.

Fast-moving, charged particles called cosmic rays that were blasted out by asupernova may have played a role in the climatic changes that apparently led to a die-off at the end of the Pliocene epoch and the start of the Pleistocene, researchers said.

"Africa dried out, and a lot of the forest turned into savannah. Around this time and afterwards, we started having glaciations — ice ages — over and over again, and it's not clear why that started to happen," study co-author Adrian Melott, of the University of Kansas, said in a statement. "It's controversial, but maybe cosmic rays had something to do with it." [Wipe Out: History's Most Mysterious Extinctions]

How is a supernova different from a hypernova? Learn about the different types of exploding stars that astronomers have identified in this infographic.

Melott and his colleagues — led by Brian Thomas, of Washburn University in Kansas — conducted computer simulations that modeled how supernovas might affect Earth's climate and biosphere. (Supernovas can occur in two ways: when a star much more massive than the sun runs out of fuel and dies, or when a superdense stellar corpse called a white dwarf steals so much matter from a nearby companion star that it crosses a mass threshold and explodes.)  

The researchers were particularly interested in supernovas that occur about 300 light-years from Earth, because scientists think such events flared up twice relatively recently — once 6.5 million to 8.7 million years ago, and again 1.7 million to 3.2 million years ago. (This latter supernova is the one that may be tied to the Pliocene-Pleistocene extinction.)

"I was expecting there to be very little effect at all," Melott said, noting that 300 light-years is not very close.

The results were therefore surprising. The team's simulations suggest, for example, that such supernovas bathed the night sky in blue light so bright that it disrupted animals' sleep patterns for weeks. And, more importantly, a surge of radiation probably hit organisms on land and in the shallower parts of the ocean.

"The big thing turns out to be the cosmic rays," Melott said. "The really high-energy ones are pretty rare. They get increased by quite a lot here — for a few hundred to thousands of years, by a factor of a few hundred. The high-energy cosmic rays are the ones that can penetrate the atmosphere. They tear up molecules. They can rip electrons off atoms, and that goes on right down to the ground level. Normally, that happens only at high altitude."

Did Supernova Explosion Contribute to Earth Mass Extinction?

https://youtu.be/NE52c67-Xcg

The end result was likely a tripling of the overall radiation dose at ground level, the researchers found. This may have been enough to increase cancer and mutation rates, "but not enormously," Melott said. "Still, if you increased the mutation rate, you might speed up evolution."

This radiation may also have affected Earth's climate, the study said. The team's simulations suggest that the increased flux of cosmic rays caused many of the atoms and molecules in the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere (known as the troposphere) to acquire a positive or negative charge.

This "tropospheric ionization" likely lasted for at least 1,000 years, the researchers said.

"It is possible that this could trigger climate change, especially if instability was already present," they wrote in the new study, which appears in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. (You can read it for free at the online preprint site arXiv.org here.)

The Pliocene-Pleistocene extinction was quite a minor one as far as these events go. Previous studies have suggested that a supernova would have to be quite close to Earth — within 25 light-years or so — to trigger a major mass extinction such as the one 65 million years ago that marked the end of the age of dinosaurs.

New Dwarf Planet Discovered Far Beyond Pluto's Orbit

Pluto isn't quite as lonely as scientists had thought.

Astronomers have discovered another dwarf planet in the Kuiper Belt, the ring of icy objects beyond Neptune. But this newfound world, dubbed 2015 RR245, is much more distant than Pluto, orbiting the sun once every 700 Earth years, scientists said. (Pluto completes one lap around the sun every 248 Earth years.) You can see an animation of the new dwarf planet's orbit here.

"The icy worlds beyond Neptune trace how the giant planets formed and then moved out from the sun," discovery team member Michele Bannister, of the University of Victoria in British Columbia, said in a statement. "They let us piece together the history of our solar system." [Meet the Solar System's Dwarf Planets]

"But almost all of these icy worlds are painfully small and faint; it's really exciting to find one that's large and bright enough that we can study it in detail," Bannister added.

The exact size of 2015 RR245 is not yet known, but the researchers think it's about 435 miles (700 kilometers) wide. Pluto is the largest resident of the Kuiper Belt, with a diameter of 1,474 miles (2,371 km).

The research team first spotted 2015 RR245 in February of this year, while poring over images that the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope in Hawaii took in September 2015 as part of the ongoing Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS).

"There it was on the screen — this dot of light moving so slowly that it had to be at least twice as far as Neptune from the sun," Bannister said.

OSSOS has discovered more than 500 objects beyond Neptune's orbit, but 2015 RR245 is the first dwarf planet that the survey has found, the scientists said.

Dwarf planets are massive enough to be crushed into spheres by their own gravity, but they have not "cleared their neighborhood" of other objects, which differentiates them from "normal" planets such as Earth and Saturn. This definition, which was devised by the International Astronomical Union in 2006, led to Pluto's controversial reclassification as a dwarf planet.

Astronomers are still working out the details of 2015 RR245's highly elliptical orbit, but the object appears to come as close to the sun as 34 astronomical units (AU), and farther away than 120 AU. (One AU is the average Earth-sun distance — about 93 million miles, or 150 million km.)

2015 RR245 — which will get a catchier, official name at some point — will make its closest approach to the sun in 2096, the researchers said.

Other confirmed dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt region include Pluto, Eris, Haumea and Makemake. Several other objects in this distant realm, including Sedna, Quaoar and 2007 OR10, probably meet the dwarf-planet criteria as well, scientists have said.

What's the Fastest Spacecraft Ever?

NASA's Juno spacecraft flies above Jupiter's north pole in this artist's illustration.

For spacecraft that zoom through the cosmos at thousands of miles per hour, calculating which one is traveling the fastest is more complicated than simply clocking the first to cross a finish line.

When space agencies calculate and establish speed records, these numbers need to be defined and qualified, because there can be more than one frame of reference. In other words, the speed of a spacecraft can be calculated relative to the Earth, the sun or some other body.

And as these spacecraft move further away from Earth, it gets trickier to use traditional methods of measurement. This is especially true for metrics such as time; for example, a day on Mars is a different length than a day on Earth. As humans' framework for time breaks down, speed (which is a measurement of distance over time) also becomes relative. [Supersonic! The 11 Fastest Military Airplanes]

When trying to suss out which of the many objects hurtling through space is moving the fastest, there are a few things to consider. To start, it's important to determine which celestial body you'll use as a reference point when calculating velocity. If you're trying to simply measure the speed of a car, Earth works perfectly fine as a reference point, but as you venture out into the cosmos, it makes more sense to use a larger frame of reference. Calculating an object's heliocentric, or sun-relative, velocity then becomes more common.

What's more, once a spacecraft makes it out of Earth's atmosphere, the vessel doesn't always maintain a constant speed. Launch velocities are different from cruise velocities (just like on an airplane), and according to NASA, planetary interactions can cause an object to change speed as well.

For example, a spacecraft can increase its velocity in space by performing a flyby of a planet (or other celestial body, such as a moon), using that planet's gravitational force to speed up or propel the spacecraft out further into the cosmos, NASA said. Essentially, the planet or moon provides a gravitational slingshot. Imagine throwing a tennis ball at an oncoming train: The momentum from the train transfers to the ball, and the ball's velocity increases.

After a five-year jaunt through space, NASA's robotic Juno spacecraft arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016, and the gas giant's impressive gravity accelerated the probe to approximately 165,000 mph (265,000 km/h) relative to Earth. This made Juno the fastest-moving human-made object in history.

In terms of pure heliocentric velocity, NASA's Helios I and Helios II probes previously held the record at 157,000 mph (253,000 km/h) as they passed by the sun. These probes were launched in 1974 and 1976, to study solar processes.

The record for fastest launch velocity belongs to the New Horizons probe, which lifted off in 2006 on a mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. This 1,054-lb. (478 kilograms), piano-size spacecraft sped away from the Earth at a blistering pace of 36,000 mph (almost 58,000 km/h).

New Horizons' escape speed from Earth beat the previous record of 32,400 mph (about 52,000 km/h), set when Pioneer 10 set out for Jupiter, in 1972.

And though Juno is currently the fastest human-made object, it remains to be seen how long the space probe can hold onto the impressive title.Solar Probe Plus, a NASA mission scheduled to launch in 2018, is designed to fly into the sun's atmosphere, making it the first probe to do so. Due to the enormity of Earth's nearest star, the probe is expected to reach orbital velocities as high as 450,000 mph (724,000 km/h). For perspective, at this speed, you could travel from the Earth to the moon in about 30 minutes.

For spacecraft that have re-entered Earth's atmosphere, the highest speed was set by the comet-catching Stardust spacecraft, which plunged back toward Earth at a speed of 29,000 mph (more than 46,600 km/h).

Frederick Valentich disappearance: How UFO helped inspire The Kettering Incident

A pilot who disappeared nearly 40 years ago after reporting a UFO is one of the inspirations for the plot of the new television drama series The Kettering Incident.

While the show revolves around fictional mysterious disappearances in the Tasmanian bush, the disappearance of Frederick Valentich was very real.

Valentich was a 20-year-old pilot who went missing over Bass Strait in 1978, leaving nothing behind except a mysterious radio transmission.

Historian Reg Watson has been researching the disappearance for many years.

"I've looked at it for gosh, three decades," he told Leon Compton on 936 ABC Hobart.

"I have to say, in my opinion, he had an encounter with a UFO — and I don't say that lightly."

'It's not an aircraft'

Valentich went missing on the night of October 21, 1978.

Mr Watson said Valentich wanted to increase his flying hours and planned to fly from Moorabbin in Victoria to King Island.

He left Moorabbin at 6:19pm and made radio contact with air traffic control in Melbourne at 7:06pm.

"He asked if there was any sort of aircraft in the area," Mr Watson said.

Valentich was told there was "no known traffic".

He went on to report a large unknown aircraft had flown over the top of him and added: "It seems to be playing some sort of game. He's flying over me."

Valentich then said:

"It's not an aircraft."

The pilot continued to speak with air traffic control in Melbourne about the craft until 7:12pm and that was the last anyone heard from him.

Mr Watson said authorities searched for Valentich for four days but nothing was ever found.

Theories around disappearance

There are some theories that Valentich staged his disappearance due to some discrepancies in his plans that night.

"There is some mystery about Frederick going to King Island," Mr Watson said.

"His father told me he was 40 minutes late [setting off] to King Island.

"He put his flight plan into Moorabbin but he never told King Island flight service that he was coming, therefore they never had the lights on at the airport.

"This has given rise to two assumptions: one, that he planned his own mysterious departure; or two, that he was a suicide."

Mr Watson said he had spoken to Valentich's family and friends and he did not believe the young man intended to disappear that night.

"Frederick was a well-adjusted young man," he said.

"He had a girlfriend, there was no problem there, he wasn't suffering from depression and he got on well with the family."

1978 UFO sightings — 'The biggest flap in Australia'

The documents around Valentich's disappearance were released to the public in 2012 and Mr Watson said these backed up his belief it was a UFO that caused the disappearance.

"All I know, in the broad terms of a UFO, an unidentified flying object ... that caused his demise," he said.

"For two months prior [to October 21] lights in the sky, cigar-shaped objects, were seen from King Island.

"And I've spoken to witnesses on the north-west coast [of Tasmania] who actually saw a craft on the day 15 minutes before he went missing."

Mr Watson said there were numerous reports of UFO sightings in 1978.

"It's been called the biggest flap in Australia's history," he said.

"Sightings were seen, not only from Tasmania, they were seen as far away as South Australia, right through the coast of Western Australia, even up to the coast of NSW."

A coronial inquiry into the disappearance in 1982 returned an open verdict with Valentich listed as missing, presumed dead.

His family erected a memorial plaque on Cape Otway in 1998 which was unveiled by Steve Roby, the air traffic controller that night in 1978 and the last person to speak with Valentich.

De Amerikaanse sonde Juno heeft sinds zijn aankomst in een baan rond de planeet Jupiter zijn eerste foto naar aarde verzonden. Dat maakte de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA dinsdag bekend.

Op het beeldmateriaal is een deel van Jupiter te zien en drie van zijn vier grootste manen: Io, Europa en Ganymedes. In augustus komt de sonde dichterbij de gasreus om betere foto's te kunnen nemen.

Polen
Een hoofdonderzoeker van NASA is in ieder geval tevreden dat de apparatuur aan boord van de sonde de reis heeft overleefd. Hij zegt vooral nieuwsgierig te zijn naar beeldmateriaal van de polen van Jupiter.

Atmosfeer
De Juno werd in 2011 gelanceerd en kwam vorige week in een baan rond Jupiter, na een reis van 3 miljard kilometer. De sonde moet onder meer de atmosfeer van de planeet in kaart brengen. Wetenschappers willen bijvoorbeeld weten hoeveel water Jupiter heeft.

Astronomen vinden bewijs zwaartekrachtskolk - HLN.be

Bron: Belga

© thinkstock.

Een internationaal team van astronomen heeft bewijzen gevonden voor het bestaan van een zogeheten zwaartekrachtskolk rond een zwart gat in de ruimte. De ontdekking maakt het mogelijk theorieën over de zwaartekracht te testen, meldt de Universiteit van Amsterdam.

In de jaren tachtig ontdekten astronomen dat röntgenstraling van zwarte gaten kunnen flikkeren. Eerst gebeurt dat flikkeren ongeveer om de tien seconden. In de dagen, weken en maanden daarna gaat het flikkeren steeds sneller tot zo'n tien keer per seconde. Vervolgens stopt het flikkeren.

Een draaiend object zou een soort zwaartekrachtskolk kunnen creëren, te vergelijken met het ronddraaien van een lepel in een honingpot. De honing is dan de ruimte, de lepel het zwarte gat. Alles in de omgeving wordt meegesleurd door de kolk, zeggen de onderzoekers.

Arkansas witness details low flying UFO

An Arkansas witness at Lonsdale reported watching a low flying object with bright lights and windows that could not be identified, according to testimony in Case 77398 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was westbound along Highway 70 riding a motorcycle about one-half mile past the 70 and 128 junction at 10 p.m. on July 2, 2016, when the incident occurred.

“The night was warm, weather was dry and clear with very good visibility,” the witness stated.“The road was three lanes wide with approximately40 yards from tree line to tree line. Tree height is 30 to 40 feet. I first noticed flashing lights just entering my view above the tree line to the north of my line of sight. The object appeared to be traveling diagonally across my line of sight to the southwest. It appeared to be at approximately 60 to 70 degrees above the ground.”

The witness first assumed the object was a low flying, small aircraft.

The witness was westbound along Highway 70 about a half-mile past the 70 and 128 intersection, pictured, when the incident occurred.

“However, I quickly realized the ‘navigation lights’ were unlike anything I had ever seen on any aircraft. My next thought was that due to its apparent low speed and height (my impression) that it could be a blimp. However, it didn’t have a traditional navigation light pattern.”

The witness described the object.

“It had a flashing white light at the back with a second flashing white light slightly below the first. A row of sequentially strobing white light along the (what I took to be) underside with a single red light at the front. Above the bottom lights was a single row of six, square, hard edged ‘windows’ that emitted a bright, white light. This all seemed to be attached to a solid structure of a light blue/gray/silver color. I could not see any other hard edges, however I got the impression that the ‘windows’ or ‘light panels’ were attached to a V-shaped “hull.” I could only see the side facing me, but it seemed that there was a glow from where the other side would be, so one might assume that it was symmetrical. Once or twice when the uppermost rear light flashed, I thought I saw some structure above the light, but I am unsure of that. There were no other lights above the ‘windows’ or anywhere else other than the one I describe.”

The witness described the lights and their flashing order.

“The first light in the sequence was the uppermost rear white light followed by the lower rear white light (these two were the largest and brightest of the flashing lights). The two rear lights seem to have the longest duration and gap between them. After the lower light flashed, a row of eight to 10, sequentially flashing, white light flashed from the rear lower, large light to the front (direction of travel). These lights were fast (maybe a half second, rear to front), smaller and less intense than the two rear most lights. At the end of this sequence, at the front most point, the last light to flash was red. After a short (half second) pause, the pattern would repeat. The ‘windows’ or ‘light panels’ maintained a steady bright glow. The light was a very bright white with a blueish tinge. They appeared to be the same size and distance apart, taking up approximately one-third of the visible structure.”

The object stayed in view for approximately one minute before its travel and the height of the surrounding trees blocked its view from the witness.

“The road turned more southerly and I re-acquired the object in my view for approximately 10 to 20 seconds and then intermittently through the trees for a short while. It appeared to stay on the same course and height for as long as I had it in my view. If I extended my arm and turned my hand horizontal, I could have covered the object with my thumb, from the tip to midway past the first joint. This is an approximation as I was not able to do this at the time. My only feelings were of curiosity as to what the object was.”

The witness also provided information on himself.

“I was clearheaded. I had not consumed any drugs or alcohol. I don’t do drugs legal or otherwise (I’m allergic to most narcotic pain killers). I am not on any psychotropic medications (nor do I have reason to believe I should be) and rarely drink. My only thoughts at the time I first saw the object were of getting home and enjoying the ride as the evening cooled off. I live in a relatively high aircraft traffic zone and have seen navigation lights from all angles, heights and on many types of aircraft. I have seen drones of various sizes. I have seen blimps in daytime and I have seen them at night at sporting events, however, I have never seen one operating at night in a rural area. The object I saw falls outside of my personal experience, and searching online I was unable to find any aircraft with lights of this type, including blimps and the Virgin lightships. I am a rationalist and a firm believer in Occam’s razor. I enjoy debunking other people’s misidentifications and wild conclusions. I would be quite happy to have you identify this as a blimp, if, in fact that’s what this was.”

This alien structure was found by Streetcap1 of Youtube. He seems to have found an alien city within Tycho crater and is pumping out building by building. Each structure is very amazing. I added some darkness to make the edges of this building come into focus. Its obvious that this is not just a rock. That this is an incredibly massive structure among a city on Earth moon. Wow, not often we get to see them so close up and so focused. Hats off to Streetcap1 for this great find.

Newmarket man spotted UFO at Oshawa Harbour, Canada June 22, 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: June 22, 2016

Location of sighting: Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

News source: 

http://www.durhamregion.com/news-story/6760371-newmarket-man-claims-to-have-spotted-ufo-at-oshawa-harbour/

Check out this UFO over a ship in Canada last month. It made the Oshawa news today and its more evidence that UFOs are seen as frequently over the water as over the land. If a UFO can be air tight in space, then is should also work similarly underwater. In this photo the disk looks like its over the ship, but the ship is focused, and the UFO is blurry, so I believer the UFO is further away, far behind the ship.

News states: 
OSHAWA - Daniel Koostachin said he had a bad feeling, like he was about to enter a haunted house when he showed up to the gates at the Oshawa Harbour on June 22 around 9:30 a.m., alone to pick up some metal rebar for a company he drives transport truck for.

“I felt very uncomfortable all of a sudden,” said the Newmarket resident. “It felt like someone was watching me.”

Mr. Koostachin said he checked his surroundings, looking left then right and that’s when he saw “the object” hovering over the waters of Lake Ontario.

He managed to snap a couple of photos with his camera before “it took off into the sky.

“After I saw it, I couldn’t sleep for two days. I had mixed feelings inside me,” he explained. “I felt dreadful.”

Mr. Koostachin described what he saw as a black object that was a disc shape.

“There were no lights, no sounds, no nothing,” he said. “That UFO was far from the harbour. It was far in distance.”

He said he has always been a believer that UFOs exist and thinks he has seen them before but this time was different.

“I’ve never been close enough to see it and get proof. I was hoping it’d take me but it didn’t that day,” he joked.

“Hopefully the Men in Black don’t show up at my door.”

UFO Expert Gaurav Tiwari Dies In Mysterious Conditions In Delhi, India July 2016, UFO Sighting News.

Date of death: July 2016

Many UFO researchers over the past few decades were murdered by government people trying to cover up the truth. I thought it had stopped about 15 years ago, but now it seems to be starting again, but in India. This UFO and ghost researcher was killed and it was made to look like a suicide. I don't believe it because if you read up on the deaths of past UFO researchers, there are three main ways they were killed. 1st was made to look like suicide. 2nd made to look like a robbery. 3rd was radioactive poisoning, invisible, but makes you come down with cancer in just a week or less. Scary stuff guys, so to all UFO researches in India, please be careful, and keep an eye out.

News states:
The death of Gaurav Tiwari, the CEO of Delhi-based Indian Paranormal Society, has turned the spotlight on an eccentric clan of ghostbusters that has, in the past decade, turned into an underground phenomenon. “Many of us were inspired by his work, and found our way to the field through him,” says Rahul Kumar, 28, a Bangalore-based paranormal investigator, who is dentist by the day. “Paranormal investigations are not uncommon, it has been around for over 80 years in India and abroad,” says Kumar, whose interest in paranormal forces began in 2008. “However, in the past few years interest in the field has increased. We get calls from students, IT professionals, even doctors and scientists, who are influenced by what they see and believe some things go beyond science,” he adds. But, he says, they have to look out for the majority bogus cases or incidents of psychological disturbances, and it is only one percent of the time where they cannot explain what is going on. “We investigate the property, interview the owners, and learn the history of the place. We rule out illnesses, psychological problems or drug abuse that might be the cause; sometimes, we stay the night and set up devices to pick up on any activity,” explains Rahul. The devices used are scientific and sophisticated. While many question the credibility of the devices, and the validity of parascience, the popularity of ghosts and spirits is undeniable. Delhi By Foot organises a “Night Walk” in the Capital where guests set out to explore places like Sanjay Van around twilight and discuss personal experiences of ghosts and spirits. Kolkata, however, has the more boldly titled “Ghost Walk”, but Anthony Ahatchaturian, who organises it, is surprisingly cynical about the supernatural. “For me, the ghost walks are a foolproof way of showcasing the city’s heritage. The spooky element gains instant attention,” says Ahatchaturian. “There was an incident that happened during one of our walks in Garstin Place that housed the old AIR office. Apparently, when it was functional, during the break between radio broadcasts, a British pianist would play Beethoven and Mozart. However, years after the office shifted to a different place, people who walked by the building at night claimed that they could hear music. During my walking tours, on two separate occasions, my guests insisted that they heard music in that very spot,” he says. Though Ahatchaturian doesn’t believe in ghosts, one prospect really scares him. “If, by any chance, one of my guests gets really spooked out and gets a heart attack, that will be the end of it. I am scared of the legal backlash,” he says.

Four UFOs Over Memphis, Tennessee Following Jet On July 12, 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: July 12, 2016
Location of sighting: Memphis, Tennessee, USA
News Source: MUFON report #77636

This is interesting. A group of metallic orbs was seen coming out of a cloud and was near a plane flying past. Perhaps the orbs were hiding and waiting for planes, so they could scan the technology. My favorite part of the eyewitness description is that he noticed the orbs come out of the cloud before he took the photo. Excellent.

Eyewitness states:
I was at work when I took this photo. I work in Memphis,Tn. The warehouse is only maybe 5 miles from Memphis international Airport. I was on my lunch break from 1230 to 1 o'clock Pm. I Saw a large military cargo plane ( the kind that drops tanks out of the back with parachutes attached) taking off from the airport heading south, then turned to head east as it was taking off. The plane made a small maneuver, ( I thought to myself that the huge plane shouldn't try that at such a slow speed.) as the metallic orbs appeared out of the small clouds. I grabbed my phone to try and capture both the plane and the orbs closer together.The military plane can still be seen very well by zooming in. I stopped looking at the orbs to check the photo for both plane and orbs,GOT THEM BOTH, when I looked back to the sky I didnt see the orbs any more. Also there appears to be a bird flying close to one of the orbs. I Am including a screenshot of the details from the photo along with the photo, and map of where I work showing the airport. Enjoy. Also I have seen Chinook helicopters flying in groups of three for the past few days, just throwing that in there.

UFO Over New York City World Trade Center By Tourist On May 2016, Photos, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: May 19, 2016, but reported July 2016
Location of sighting: New York City, USA
Source: MUFON #77629

Here's an interesting UFO over the World Trade Center. This UFO is unusual because it seems to have two tails, and it has a rocket like shape to it. The fact that this is over the World Trade Center shows me that aliens have a lot of interest not just in the old building, but also in the new buildings that have symbolic meaning to the country. If you go to a cultural location that has a special meaning to people, look up once in a while, you might get lucky and see a UFO.

Eyewitness states:
First of all sorry for my English writing. We were visiting WTC groundzero with my wife. I was capturing continously without focusing a spesific object. I captured many photos. In one minute I captured 3 photos consecutively. After holiday while I and my wife viewing photos we found an unknown object and it was flying above. We didn't detect it with naked eyes when we were visiting WTC. I don't belive that US Goverment lets an ordinary vechile to fly above WTC. Maybe this is an undetected vechile or it was a Made in USA UFO. In photo 1 there are colorful circles. In Photo 2 that circles are replacing and an UFO appears suddenly. In photo 3 there is no light no UFO. I want professionals to analyze the images and I am so curious about results. I was not a believer but I was ready to believe. Now I want to believe!

Amazing UFO sighting caught on tape over Cumberland, Maine 4-Jul-2016

Here’s one interesting footage of an unknown craft hovering in the sky above Cumberland in Maine. This was taken on 4th July 2016. What do you think about this video? Please leave your comments below!

Witness report: 

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.

History Reveals Six Famous Extraterrestrial Sightings

Today, UFO sightings are increasing. In fact, countless have been reported to authorities different strange object passing each month. However, what is the truth about aliens? Before digging deeper to the explanations, it is important to acknowledge the history behind the strange objects.

Here Are the Most Radically Influential Encounters In Human History:

74 BC: Ancient Romans Spotted A Strange Flying Wine Jar
According to Plutarch’s records, the strange object appears apparently gigantic, made of flame, silver-colored, and has a shape like a wine jar. This happened during a battle in Phrygia (in what is now Turkey).

Nuremberg, Germany

1561: Flying Objects Battled Over Nuremberg
The people residing in Nuremberg since 1561 have been seeing some interstellar battle in the sky. According to a broadsheet publisher, the inhabitants were bewildered seeing what appeared to be flying crosses, cannons, spheres and objects of similar nature having some massive clash every morning. It is worth mentioning, however, that the broadsheets during that time are not reliable sources because they reported that an English woman gave birth to rabbits.

Alien Gravesite in Aurora Cemetery

1897: An Alien Air vessel Crashes In Texas
Due to this sighting, it appears that Americans were already interested in extraterrestrial life as early as the 19th century because the Aurora story was published in Texas newspapers during that time. One Aurora resident decided to write about the encounter stating that an aircraft had crashed, killing the pilot who was then buried in the local cemetery.

The 1940s: Foo Fighters Confuse The Military
This refers not to a band, but to the UFO visitors. However, the band was named after these peculiar visitors, who was spotted by military personnel to have interfered in aerial battles in several theaters during WWII.

Battle of Los Angeles

1942: The Los Angeles Battle Shocks The West Coast
In one of the strangest episodes in America’s relationship with the aliens on February 24, 1942, the city got into battle when these strange objects were rumored to be flying and running around overhead. Read more: Battle of Los Angeles, 1942

1947: A Strange Object Crashes In Roswell
Roswell is the most notorious encounter in American alien history. A strange aircraft crashed in Roswell, New Mexico, and what happened afterward is the birth of alien myth-making ever since.
Whether you are a believer of alien phenomena from other planets or not, it seems more likely that encounters can be explained by weird natural phenomena, military testing, or just people being credulous. Read more: Roswell UFO Incident

SECRET AUSTRALIAN ANTIGRAVITY PROGRAM LINKED TO 1966 FLYING SAUCER LANDING

WRITTEN BY DR MICHAEL SALLA 

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the most documented UFO case in Australian history – the April 6, 1966, sighting of a flying saucer by over 200 witnesses, who saw it fly overhead for several minutes before briefly landing and taking off again near two schools in the Melbourne suburb of Westall.

The Westall UFO case has been the subject of several Australian news reports anddocumentaries, which have tried to find answers to the mystery of what precisely had landed. Recent whistleblower testimonies provide a compelling answer – the flying saucer was part a secret Australian aerospace program involving the development of antigravity technology in cooperation with the U.S. and Great Britain.

There have long been unconfirmed reports that the US, along with the United Kingdom, began developing a secret space program with the assistance of Nazi scientists extracted from Germany soon after the end of World War II. Early Nazi flying saucer prototypes called “Vril” were allegedly secretly removed from Germany and shared equally by the US and Britain as required by wartime agreements.

These technology exchange agreements date back to Britain’s “Tizard Mission” where a delegation of British scientists led by Henry Tizard traveled to the U.S. in September 1940, and shared British technologies in advance of an expected Nazi German invasion of Britain.  

What is undisputed fact is that 1500 leading Nazi aerospace scientists were extracted to the USA under Project Paperclip, and hundreds of others were evacuated to the United Kingdom by an elite military group called T-Force which forcibly abducted them when necessary. 

The former Nazi scientists were put to work in U.S. and British laboratories to develop a new generation of rockets based on the V-2, which were ultimately used to establish nuclear ballistic missiles and also the NASA space program.

Other Nazi scientists were allegedly secretly assigned to develop antigravity space craft using principles of high energy plasma and high voltage electrostatic charges.

High energy plasma, which would circulate around a highly conductive ring at very high revolutions per minute, was a speciality field of one of the Nazi scientists brought to the U.S. by Project Paperclip. Professor Winfried Otto Schumann. He was allegedly involved in developing the first Vril flying saucers in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

Click Image to Enlarge

Schumann’s name appears on the list of scientists requested by the US Army Air Force (predecessor to the US Air Force established in September 1947) back in 1946, which suggests that his speciality was important for highly classified aerospace projects being studied at the highly classified Dayton, Ohio, aerospace facility.

The first documented reference to electrostatics as a means of antigravity propulsion (electrogravitics) can be found in a 1928 British patent by Thomas Townsend Brown for an electrogravitic device called a gravitator. This has come to be called the Biefeld-Brown Effect, and was incorporated in a 1952 bid by Brown to the U.S. Navy to build a fleet of flying saucer craft called Project Winterhaven.

According to official records, Project Winterhaven was turned down by the U.S. Navy and a subsequent attempt by Brown to fund it through a non-profit foundation resulted in failure. In December 2015, William Tompkins, a retired aerospace engineer came forward to reveal that the U.S. Navy had secretly funded the development of flying saucer craft after all.

According to Tompkins, this was done by the Navy approaching private aerospace contractors such as Douglas Aircraft Company, to design and eventually build an assortment of antigravity vehicles.

Tompkins, revealed that while he worked at Douglas’ Advanced Design (1951-1963), he was responsible for submitting designs for kilometer long space craft using antigravity technologies, to the U.S. Navy in “unsolicited bids.” These early designs were used for constructing U.S. Navy space battlegroups which began deployment in 1984, as the Solar Warden Space Program.

The U.S. antigravity space program involved leading think tanks and aerospace companies such as Douglas Aircraft Company and the RAND Corporation, which was an off-shoot of Douglas. At the time, Douglas was the leading U.S. manufacturer of advanced military aircraft, and had created a classified think tank called Advanced Design, which was split off to form RAND, according to Tompkins. 

Tompkins said that he was directly involved in a covert Navy intelligence program, which had discovered during World War II that up to 30 different flying saucer prototypes had been developed by the Nazis. These Nazi prototypes, or designs for them, were closely studied in U.S. and British laboratories after the war.

Douglas Memo Confirming Antigravity Research by William Tompkins superiors – Click image to enlarge

Further, Tompkins states that he worked under two senior scientists at Douglas, Dr. William Klemperer and Elmer Wheaton, who were actively researching antigravity principles and UFOs. Wheaton left Douglas in 1962 to take charge of similar projects tain and the U.S.

In Australia, the Aeronautical Research Laboratories (1949-1994) was actively involved in classified antigravity research, according to a research physicist, Stan Deyo. Deyo has revealed that when he traveled to Melbourne, Australia in May 1972, he was given a letter of introduction to the head of Aeronautical Research Laboratories, located at Fishermans Bend, where Deyo could continue the antigravity research he had earlier begun in the U.S.at Lockeheed’s Skunkworks. Tompkins has supplied a document (on right) that confirms that his superiors were working on antigravity in the 1950’s, as he claimed.

Similar antigravity research was underway in Great Britain involving think tanks and leading aerospace companies. In 1956, a London based organization called “Gravity Rand” published a scientific discussion paper called “The Gravitics Situation,” which revealed the extensive research being conducted by leading aerospace scientists in Britain. 

The U.S. and Britain were not alone in researching or developing antigravity technologies. In 1956, Interavia Magazine reported: “There are gravity research projects in every major country of the world. A few are over 30 years old.”  Among these countries was Australia, a staunch ally of both Bri

Click image to enlarge

The letter was written by Dr. James B. Maxfield, a Texas radiologist, who was recommending Deyo as someone familiar with antigravity research, who could help the Aeronautical Research Laboratories in its own program. According to Maxfield’s letter, first released in Deyo’s book, The Cosmic Conspiracy, Maxfield had an interest, as did the father of the Hydrogen Bomb, Dr. Edward Teller, in the field of antigravity.

According to Deyo, Teller headed the antigravity research program in the U.S., and was actively assisting major allies such as Australia and the UK in their own respective programs. Deyo provided a second letter from Dr. Maxfield, discussing a planned future visit by Teller to Melbourne, which was part of a secret U.S. and Australian cooperation on antigravity technology.

Support for Deyo’s claim is found in an article published in November 1955 by the New York Herald Tribune, which identified Teller’s leading role in U.S. antigravity research:

The initial steps of an almost incredible program to solve the secret of gravity and universal gravitation are being taken today in many of America’s top scientific laboratories and researcher centers… These include Dr Edward Teller of the University of California. 

Deyo’s testimony is further supported by Bob Lazar, an innovative rocket propulsion engineer turned whistleblower, who says that it was Dr. Teller who recruited him to join a classified facility at Area 51 called S-4, where he witnessed nine antigravity spacecraft that were being secretly studied. According to a former CIA Agent, Kewper, who claims to have visited S-4 in 1958, four of the flying saucer craft were early German designs, two of which were called “Vril”.

Finally, in his autobiography, Memoirs: A Twentieth-Century Journey in Science and Politics, Teller confirms his friendship with Dr. James Maxfield who had contacts with some of Australia’s leading industrialists (p.496). This included Lang Hancock, a very wealthy Australian mining magnate who was Maxfield’s personal friend.  Teller’s biography confirms the role Maxfield played in organizing at least two of Teller’s trips to Australia where he met with Hancock and other influential Australians.

During his May 1972 Melbourne visit, Deyo was surprised to learn how knowledgeable the Australian scientists were about antigravity principles, and even witnessed a prototype flying saucer craft at one of the Aeronautical Research Laboratories workshops at Fishermans Bend.

Tompkins and Deyo’s testimony, along with that of other whistleblowers, suggest that from the 1950’s, Australia closely worked with Great Britain and the U.S. in developing antigravity spacecraft, some of which resembled flying saucers. This establishes the possibility that the 1966 Westall incident was part of a classified antigravity vehicle test.

As the top graphic illustrates, Fishermans Bend is only 25 kilometers flying distance from the Westall area (now South Clayton), across Port Phillip Bay. Furthermore, it is only 30 kilometers across the Bay from Australia’s oldest aviation facility located at the RAAF Base Point Cook.

If Australia was testing antigravity vehicles, then either Fishermans Bend or Point Cook could have been used since both are adjacent to Port Phillip Bay where the craft could fly over a large body of water largely undetected.

Such a possibility is supported by some of the witnesses to the Westall incident who described camouflaged military personnel – thought to be American special forces – who quickly sanitized the flying saucer landing area. The rapid response of some of the military personnel – as little as 20 minutes according to witnesses – suggests the personnel were stationed nearby to monitor a test.

One Australian UFO researcher, Keith Basterfield, has found that a classified program called HIBAL involving high altitude balloons, was officially scheduled for a launch on April 5, 1966, one day before the Westall incident, but could have actually occurred on the same day. While he proposed Project HIBAL as a possible explanation for the Westall sighting itself, a more plausible answer is that it was a cover program for a more highly classified flying saucer program.

Leaked National Security Agency files by Edward Snowden confirm that the military intelligence community in the U.S. and its Echelon partners (Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand) will use a classified program as a cover for an even more highly classified program.

The flying saucer issue, as pointed out by Wilbert Smith, a former Senior Engineer with the Canadian Department of Transportation, were the most classified matter in the U.S. national security system. Consequently, a classified high altitude balloon program (HIBAL) would have been a very effective cover for a more highly classified Australian flying saucer program.

What now takes on special significance is the August 1966 visit to Australia by Teller, which he wrote about in Memoirs: A Twentieth-Century Journey in Science and Politics (p. 497). He refers to Dr. James Maxfield as having suggested the visit to him.

Given Maxfield’s two letters to Deyo in 1972, revealing Maxfield and Teller’s interest in antigravity research, this suggests that the 1966 visit also very likely involved antigravity research. Consequently, the April 6, 1966 Westall flying saucer incident can be linked to Teller’s first visit to Australia four months later, and was possibly a test of an antigravity flying saucer, where HIBAL was used as a cover program for national security reasons.

Finally, we have the not insignificant fact that Rear Admiral Rico Botta, identified by Tompkins as the U.S. Navy officer in command of a covert espionage program with 29 spies in Nazi Germany, learning about the development of antigravity spacecraft, was born and raised in the Australian city of Melbourne, before emigrating to the U.S. in 1908, at age 18.  

The cooperation between the U.S., Britain and Australia in developing and testing of flying saucer craft using principles of antigravity, dating as far back as the 1950’s, provides a compelling explanation for some of the many UFO sightings in Australia. Among these, the 1966 Westall flying saucer incident stands out as one that likely has a very worldly explanation – the top secret cooperation between Australia, the U.S. and Britain in developing antigravity vehicles for a secret space program.

The Nikola Tesla Interview Hidden for 116 Years!

In 1899 Tesla gave this interview which has rarely ever been published for over 100 years.
In it Tesla pulls no punches and reveals the great conspiracy of science that was well under way, the suppression of ether and the introduction of a new fake science to conceal it as well as to suppress the work of Tesla himself.

Once, in 1899, Nikola Tesla had an interview with a certain journalist, John Smith, when Tesla said, “Everything is the light.” In one of its rays is the fate of nations, each nation has its own ray in that great light source, which we see as the Sun.

In this interview this greatest inventor and seer of modern time unravels a new vision of humanity which we, the light warriors of the first and the last hour, have created a century later. A must read for every Ascended Master from the PAT.

Part of this interview is dedicated to Tesla’s critics on Einstein’s theory of relativity that discards the ether as energy. I have proved in the new Theory of the Universal Law why Einstein’s theory of relativity is entirely wrong and why there is no vacuum (void), and that everything is energy. Thus I confirm Tesla’s ideas as expressed in this interview.

George, May 7, 2015

Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you have gained the glory of the man who got involved in the cosmic processes. Who are you, Mr. Tesla?

Tesla: It is a right question, Mr. Smith, and I will try to give you the right answer to it.

Journalist: Some say you’re from the country of Croatia, from the area called Lika, where together with the people are growing trees, rocks and starry sky. They say that your home village is named after the mountain flowers, and that the house, where you were born, is next to the forest and the church.

Tesla: Really, all it true. I’m proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian homeland.

Journalist: Futurists say that the Twenty-and Twenty First Century was born in head of Nikola Tesla. They celebrate conversely magnetic field and sing hymns to Inductions engine. Their creator was called the hunter who caught the light in his net from the depths of the earth, and the warrior who captured fire from heaven. Father of alternating current will make the Physics and Chemistry dominate half the world. Industry will proclaim him as their supreme saint, a banker for the largest benefactors. In the laboratory of Nikola Tesla for the first time is broken atom.

There is created a weapon that causes the earthquake vibrations. There are discovered black cosmic rays. Five races will pray to him in the Temple of the future, because they had taught a great secret that Empedocles elements can be watered with the life forces from the ethers.

Tesla: Yes, these are some of my most important discoveries. I’m a defeated man. I have not accomplished the greatest thing I could.

Journalist: What is it, Mr. Tesla?

Tesla: I wanted to illuminate the whole earth. There is enough electricity to become a second sun. Light would appear around the equator, as a ring around Saturn.

Mankind is not ready for the great and good. In Colorado Springs I soaked the earth by electricity. Also we can water the other energies, such as positive mental energy. They are in the music of Bach or Mozart, or in the verses of great poets. In the Earth’s interior, there are energy of Joy, Peace and Love. Their expressions are a flower that grows from the Earth, the food we get out of her and everything that makes man’s homeland. I’ve spent years looking for the way that this energy could influence people. The beauty and the scent of roses can be used as a medicine and the sun rays as a food.

Life has an infinite number of forms, and the duty of scientists is to find them in every form of matter. Three things are essential in this. All that I do is a search for them. I know I will not find them, but I will not give up on them.

Journalist: What are these things?

Tesla: One issue is food. What a stellar or terrestrial energy to feed the hungry on Earth? With what wine watered all thirsty, so that they can cheer in their heart and understand that they are Gods?

Another thing is to destroy the power of evil and suffering in which man’s life passes! They sometimes occur as an epidemic in the depths of space. In this century, the disease had spread from Earth in the Universe.

The third thing is: Is there an excess Light in the Universe? I discovered a star that by all the astronomical and mathematical laws could disappear, and that nothing seems to be modified. This star is in this galaxy. Its light can occur in such density that fits into a sphere smaller than an apple, a heavier than our Solar System. Religions and philosophies teach that man can become the Christ, Buddha and Zoroaster. What I’m trying to prove is wilder, and almost unattainable. This is what to do in the Universe so every being is born as Christ, Buddha or Zoroaster.

I know that gravity is prone to everything you need to fly and my intention is not to make flying devices (aircraft or missiles), but teach individual to regain consciousness on his own wings … Further; I am trying to awake the energy contained in the air. There are the main sources of energy. What is considered as empty space is just a manifestation of matter that is not awakened.

No empty space on this planet, nor in the Universe.. In black holes, what astronomers talk about, are the most powerful sources of energy and life.

Journalist: On the window of your room in hotel “Valdorf-Astoria”, on the thirty-third floor, every morning, the birds arrive.

Tesla: A man must be sentimental towards the birds. This is because of their wings. Human had them once, the real and visible!

Journalist: You have not stopped flying since those distant days in Smiljan!

Tesla: I wanted to fly from the roof and I fell: Children’s calculations could be wrong. Remember, the youth wings have everything in life!

Journalist: Have you ever married? It is not known that you have affection for love or for a woman. Photos from the youth show you were handsome man.

Tesla: Yes. I did not. There are two views: a lot affection or not at all. The center serves to rejuvenate human race. Women for certain people nurtures and strengthen its vitality and spirit. Being single does the same to other people. I chose that second path.

Journalist: Your admirers are complaining that you attacking relativity. The strange is your assertion that the matter has no energy. Everything is imbued with energy, where it is?

Tesla: First was energy, then matter.

Journalist: Mr. Tesla, it’s like when you said that you were born by your father, and not on you.

Tesla: Exactly! What about the birth of the Universe? Matter is created from the original and eternal energy that we know as Light .It shone, and there have been appear star, the planets, man, and everything on the Earth and in the Universe. Matter is an expression of infinite forms of Light, because energy is older than it. There are four laws of Creation. The first is that the source of all the baffling, dark plot that the mind cannot conceive, or mathematics measure. In that plot fit the whole Universe.

The second law is spreading a darkness, which is the true nature of Light, from the inexplicable and it’s transformed into the Light. The third law is the necessity of the Light to become a matter of Light. The fourth law is: no beginning and no end; three previous laws always take place and the Creation is eternal.

Journalist: In the hostility to the theory of relativity you go so far, that you hold lectures against its Creator at your birthday parties..

Tesla: Remember, it is not curved space, but the human mind which cannot comprehend infinity and eternity! If relativity has been clearly understood by its Creator, he would gain immortality, even yet physically, if he is pleased.

I am part of a light, and it is the music. The Light fills my six senses: I see it, hear, feel, smell, touch and think. Thinking of it means my sixth sense. Particles of Light are written note. O bolt of lightning can be an entire sonata. A thousand balls of lightning is a concert.. For this concert

I have created a Ball Lightning, which can be heard on the icy peaks of the Himalayas. About Pythagoras and mathematics a scientist may not and must not infringe of these two. Numbers and equations are signs that mark the music of the spheres. If Einstein had heard these sounds,   he would not create theories of relativity. These sounds are the messages to the mind that life has meaning, that the Universe exists in perfect harmony, and its beauty is the cause and effect of Creation. This music is the eternal cycle of stellar heavens.

The smallest star has completed composition and also, part of the celestial symphony. The man’s heartbeats are part of the symphony on the Earth. Newton learned that the secret is in geometric arrangement and motion of celestial bodies. He recognized that the supreme law of harmony exists in the Universe. The curved space is chaos, chaos is not music. Einstein is the messenger of the time of sound and fury.

Journalist: Mr. Tesla, do you hear that music?

Tesla: I hear it all the time. My spiritual ear is as big as the sky we see above us. My natural ear I increased by the radar. According to the Theory of Relativity, two parallel lines will meet in infinity. By that Einstein’s curved will straighten. Once created, the sound lasts forever. For a man it can vanish, but continues to exist in the silence that is man’s greatest power.

No, I have nothing against Mr. Einstein. He is a kind person and has done many good things, some of which will become part of the music. I will write to him and try to explain that the ether exists, and that its particles are what keep the Universe in harmony, and the life in eternity.

Journalist: Tell me, please, under what conditions Angel adopt on the Earth?

Tesla: I have ten of them. Keep good records vigilant.

Journalist: I will document all your words, Dear Mr. Tesla.

Tesla: The first requirement is a high awareness of its mission and work to be done. It must, if only dimly, exist in the early days. Let us not be falsely modest; Oak knows that it is oak tree, a bush beside him being a bush. When I was twelve, I have been sure I will get to Niagara Falls. For most of my discoveries I knew in my childhood that I will achieve them, although not entirely apparent … The second condition to adapt is determination. All that I might, I finished.

Journalist: What is the third condition of adjustment, Mr. Tesla?

Tesla: Guidance for all the vital and spiritual energies in labor. Therefore purification of the many effects and needs that man has. I therefore have not lost anything, but just gained.

So I enjoyed every day and night. Write down: Nikola Tesla was a happy man… The fourth requirement is to adjust the physical assembly with a work.

Journalist: What do you mean, Mr. Tesla?

Tesla: First, the maintenance of the assembly. Man’s body is a perfect machine. I know my circuit and what’s good for him. Food what nearly all people eat, to me it is harmful and dangerous. Sometimes I visualize that chefs in the world are all in conspiracy against me … Touch my hand.

Journalist: It was cold.

Tesla: Yes. Bloodstream can be controlled, and many processes in and around us. Why are you frightened young man?

Journalist: It’s a story that Mark Twain wrote a mysterious stranger, that wonderful book of Satan, inspired by you.

Tesla: The word “Lucifer” is more charming. Mr. Twain likes to joke. As a child I was healed once by reading his books. When we met here and told him about, he was so touched that he cried. We became friends and he often came to my lab. Once he requested to show him a machine that by vibration provokes a feeling of bliss. It was one of those inventions for entertainment, what I sometimes like to do.

I warned Mr. Twain as not to remain under these vibrations. He did not listen and stayed longer. It ended by being, like a rocket, holding pants, darted into a certain room. It was a diabolically funny, but I kept the seriousness.

But, to adjust the physical circuit, in addition to food, dream is very important . From a long and exhausting work, which required superhuman effort, after one hour of sleep I’d be fully recovered. I gained the ability to manage sleep, to fell asleep and wake up in the time which I have designated. If I do something what I do not understand, I force myself to think about it in my dream, and thus find a solution.

Tesla: The fifth condition of adjustment is memory. Perhaps in the most people, the brain is keeper of knowledge about the world and the knowledge gained through the life. My brain is engaged in more important things than remembering, it is picking what is required at a given moment. This is all around us. It should only be consumed. Everything that we once saw, hear, read and learn, accompanies us in the form of light particles. To me, these particles are obedient and faithful.

Goethe’s Faust, my favorite book, I learned by heart in German as a student, and now it can all recite. I held my inventions for years ‘in my head “, and only then I realized them.

Journalist: You often mentioned the power of visualization.

Tesla: I might have to thank to visualization for all that I invented. The events of my life and my inventions are real in front of my eyes, visible as each occurrence or the item. In my youth I was frightened of not knowing what it is, but later, I learned to use this power as an exceptional talent and gift. I nurtured it, and jealously guarded. I also made corrections by visualization on most of my inventions, and finish them that way, by visualization I mentally solve complex mathematical equations. For that gift I have, I will receive rank High Lama in Tibet.

My eyesight and hearing are perfect and, dare to say, stronger than other people. I hear the thunder of a hundred fifty miles away, and I see colors in the sky that others cannot see. This enlargement of vision and hearing, I had as a child. Later I consciously developed.

Journalist: In youth you have several times been seriously ill. Is it a disease and a requirement to adapt?

Tesla: Yes. It is often the result of a lack of exhaustion or vital force, but often the purification of mind and body from the toxins that have accumulated. It is necessary that a man suffers from time to time. The source of most disease is in the spirit. Therefore the spirit and can cure most diseases. As a student I got sick of cholera which raged in the region of Lika. I was cured because my father finally allowed me to study technology, which was my life. Illusion for me was not a disease, but the mind’s ability to penetrate beyond the three dimensions of the earth.

I had them all my life, and I have received them as all other phenomena around us. Once, in childhood, I was walking along the river with Uncle and said: “From the water will appear the trout, I’ll throw a stone and it is cut.” That’s what happened. Frightened and amazed, his uncle cried: “Bade retro Satan’s!” He was an educated and he spoke in Latin …

I was in Paris when I saw my mother’s death. In the sky, full of light and music floated are wonderful creatures. One of them had a mother’s character, who was looking at me with infinite love. As the vision disappeared, I knew that my mother died.

Journalist: What is the seventh adjustment, Mr. Tesla?

Tesla: The knowledge of how the mental and vital energy transform into what we want, and achieve control over all feelings. Hindus call it Kundalini Yoga. This knowledge can be learned, for what they need many years or is acquired by birth. The most of them I acquired by birth. They are in the closest connection with a sexual energy that is after the most widespread in the Universe. The woman is the biggest thief of that energy, and thus the spiritual power.

I’ve always knew that and was alerted. Of myself I created what I wanted: a thoughtful and spiritual machine.

Journalist: A ninth adjustment, Mr. Tesla?

Tesla: Do everything that any day, any moment, if possible, not to forget who we are and why we are on Earth. Extraordinary people who are struggling with illness, privation, or the society which hurts them with its stupidity, misunderstanding, persecution and other problems which the country is full of a swamps with insects, leaves behind unclaimed until the end of the work. There are many fallen angels on Earth.

Journalist: What is the tenth adaptation?

Tesla: It is most important. Write that Mr. Tesla played. He played the whole of his life and enjoyed it.

Journalist: Mr. Tesla! Whether it relates to your findings and your work? Is this a game?

Tesla: Yes, dear boy. I have so loved to play with electricity! I always cringe when I hear about the one also the Greek who stole fire. A terrible story about studding, and eagles peck at his liver. Did Zeus did not have enough lightning and thunder, and was damaged for one fervor? There is some misunderstanding…

Lightning are the most beautiful toys that can be found. Do not forget that in your text stand out: Nikola Tesla was the first man who discovered lightning.

Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you’re just talking about angels and their adaptation to the Earth.

Tesla: Am I? This is the same. You could write this: he dared to take upon himself the prerogatives of Indri, Zeus and Peron. Imagine one of these gods in a black evening suit, with the bowler hat and wearing white cotton gloves prepares lightning, fires and earthquakes to the New York City elite!

Journalist: Readers love the humor of our paper. But you confuse me stating that your findings, which have immense benefits for the people, representing the game. Many will frown on it.

Tesla: Dear Mr. Smith, the trouble is that people are too serious. If they were not, they would be happier and much longer would have lived. Chinese proverb says that the seriousness reduces life. Visiting the inn Tai Pe guessed that he visits the Imperial Palace. But that the newspaper readers would not have frowned, let’s get back to things which they consider important.

Journalist: They would love to hear what your philosophy is.

Tesla: Life is a rhythm that must be comprehended. I feel the rhythm and direct on it and pamper in it. It was very grateful and gave me the knowledge I have. Everything that lives is related to a deep and wonderful relationship: man and the stars, amoebas’ and the sun, the heart and the circulation of an infinite number of worlds. These ties are unbreakable, but they can be tame and to propitiate and begin to create new and different relationships in the world, and that does not violate the old.

Knowledge comes from space; our vision is its most perfect set. We have two eyes: the earthly and spiritual. It is recommended that it become one eye. Universe is alive in all its manifestations, like a thinking animal.

Stone is a thinking and sentient being, such as plant, beast and a man. A star that shines asked to look at, and if we are not a sizeable self-absorbed we would understand its language and message. His breathing, his eyes and ears of the man must comply with breathing, eyes and ears of the Universe.

Journalist: As you say this, it seems to me like I hear Buddhist texts, words or Taoist Parazulzusa.

Tesla: That’s right! This means that there is general knowledge and truth that man has always possessed. In my feeling and experience, the Universe has only one substance and one supreme energy with an infinite number of manifestations of life. The best thing is that the discovery of a secret nature, reveals the other.

One cannot hide, there are around us, but we are blind and deaf to them. If we emotionally tie ourselves to them, they come to us themselves. There are a lot of apples, but one Newton. He asked for just one apple that fell in front of him.

Journalist: A question that might be set at the beginning of this conversation. What was Electricity for you, Dear Mr. Tesla?

Tesla: Everything is Electricity. First was the light, endless source from which points out material and distribute it in all forms that represent the Universe and the Earth with all its aspects of life. Black is the true face of Light, only we do not see this. It is remarkable grace to man and other creatures. One of its particles possesses light, thermal, nuclear, radiation, chemical, mechanical and an unidentified energy.

It has the power to run the Earth with its orbit. It is true Archimedean lever.

Journalist: Mr. Tesla, you’re too biased towards electricity.

Tesla: Electricity I am. Or, if you wish, I am the electricity in the human form. You are Electricity; too Mr. Smith, but you do not realize it.

Journalist: Is it thus your ability to allow fails of electricity of one million volts trough your body?

Tesla: Imagine a gardener who is attacked by herbs. This would indeed be crazy. Man’s body and brain are made from a large amount energy; in me there is the majority of electricity. The energy that is different in everyone is what makes the human “I” or “soul”. For other creatures to their essence, “soul” of the plant is the “soul” of minerals and animals.

Brain function and death is manifested in light. My eyes in youth were black, now blue, and as time goes on and strain the brain gets stronger, they are closer to white. White is the color of heaven. Through my window one morning, landed a white dove, which I fed. She wanted to bring me a word that she was dying. From her eyes the light jets were coming out. Never in the eyes of any creature had I not seen so much light, as in that pigeon.

Journalist: Personnel in your lab speak about flashes of light, flames and lightning that occur if you are angry or into kind of risk.

Tesla: It is the psychic discharge or a warning to be alert. The light was always on my side. Do you know how I discovered the rotating magnetic field and induction motor, which made me became famous when I was twenty-six? One summer evening in Budapest, I watched with my friend Sigetijem sunset.

Thousands of fire was turning around in thousands of flaming colors. I remembered Faust and recited his verses and then, as in a fog, I saw spinning magnetic field, and induction motor. I saw them in the sun!

Journalist: Hotel service telling that at the time of lightning you isolate into the room and talk to yourselves.

Tesla: I talk with lightning and thunder.

Journalist: With them? What language, Mr.Tesla?

Tesla: Mostly my native language. It has the words and sounds, especially in poetry, what is suitable for it.

Journalist: Readers of our magazine would be very grateful if you would interpret that.

Tesla: The sound does not exist only in the thunder and lightning, but, in transformation into the brightness and color. A color can be heard. Language is of the words, which means that it is from the sounds and colors. Every thunder and lightning are different and have their names. I call some of them by the names of those who were close in my life, or by those whom I admire.

In the sky brightness and thunder live my mother, sister, brother Daniel, a poet Jovan Jovanovic Zmaj and other persons of Serbian history. Names such AsIsaiah, Ezekiel, Leonardo, Beethoven, Goya, Faraday, Pushkin and all burning fires mark shoals and tangles of lightning and thunder, which does not stop all night bringing to the Earth precious rain and burning trees or villages.

There is lightning and thunder, and they are the brightest and most powerful, that will not vanish. They are coming back and I recognize them among the thousands.

Journalist: For you, science or poetry is the same?

Tesla: These are the two eyes of one person. William Blake was taught that the Universe was born from the imagination, that it maintains and it will exist as long as there is a last man on the Earth. With it was a wheel to which astronomers can collect the stars of all galaxies. It is the creative energy identical to the light energy.

Journalist: Imagination is more real to you than life itself?

Tesla: It gives birth to the life. I have fed by my taught; I’ve learned to control emotions, dreams and visions. I have always cherished, as I nurtured my enthusiasm. All my long life I spent in ecstasy. That was the source of my happiness. It helped me during all these years to bear with work, which was enough for the five lives. The best is to work at night, because the stellar light, and close bond.

Journalist: You said that I am, like every being, the Light. This flatter me, but I confess, I do not quite understand.

Tesla: Why would you need to understand, Mr. Smith? Suffice it to believe it. Everything is light. In one its ray is the fate of nations, each nation has its own ray in what great light source we see as the sun. And remember: no one who was there did not die. They transformed into the light, and as such exist still. The secret lies in the fact that the light particles restore their original state.

Journalist: This is the resurrection!

Tesla: I prefer to call it: return to a previous energy. Christ and several others knew the secret. I am searching how to preserve human energy. It is forms of Light, sometimes straight like heavenly light. I have not looked for it for my own sake, but for the good of all. I believe that my discoveries make people’s lives easier and more bearable, and channel them to spirituality and morality.

Journalist: Do you think that time can be abolished?

Tesla: Not quite, because the first feature of the energy is that it transforms. It is in perpetual transformation, as clouds of Taoists. But it is possible to leverage the fact that a man preserves consciousness after the earthly life. In every corner of the universe exist energy of life; one of them is immortality, whose origin is outside of man, waiting for him.

The universe is spiritual; we are only half that way. The Universe is more moral than us, because we do not know his nature and how to harmonize our lives with it. I am not scientist, science is perhaps the most convenient way to find the answer to the question that always haunt me, and which my days and nights turned into fire.

Journalist: What’s the matter?

Tesla: How are your eyes brightened!… What I wanted to know is: what happens to a falling star as the sun goes out? Stars fall like dust or seed in this or in other worlds, and the sun be scattered in our minds, in the lives of many beings, what will be reborn as a new light, or cosmic wind scattered in infinity.

I understand that this is necessary included in the structure of the Universe. The thing is, though, is that one of these stars and one of these suns, even the smallest, preserves.

Journalist: But, Mr. Tesla, you realize that this is necessary and is included in the constitution of the world!

Tesla: When a man becomes concuss; that his highest goal must be to run for a shooting star, and tries to capture it; shall understand that his life was given to him because of this and will be saved. Stars will eventually be capable to catch!

Journalist: And what will happen then?

Tesla: The creator will laugh and say: ”It fall only that you chase her and grab her.”

J ournalist: Isn’t all of this contrary to the cosmic pain, which so often you mention in your writings? And what is it cosmic pain?

Tesla: No, because we are on Earth … It is an illness whose existence the vast majority of people are not aware of. Hence, many other illnesses, suffering, evil, misery, wars and everything else what makes human life an absurd and horrible condition. This disease cannot be completely cured, but awareness shall make it less complicated and hazardous. Whenever one of my close and dear people were hurt, I felt physical pain. This is because our bodies are made as of similar material, and our soul related with unbreakable strands. Incomprehensible sadness that overwhelmed us at times means that somewhere, on the other side on this planet, a child or generous man died.

The entire Universe is in certain periods sick of itself, and of us. Disappearance of a star and the appearance of comets affect us more than we can imagine. Relationships among the creatures on the Earth are even stronger, because of our feelings and thoughts the flower will scent even more beautiful or will fall in silence.

These truths we must learn in order to be healed. Remedy is in our hearts and evenly, in the heart of the animals that we call the Universe.

By Aether Force 

Update: The interview is possibly fake, as the theory of relativity was not developed in 1899. At the same time, Tesla could have known the insights of Einstein's work long before the latter published his famous paper. As always, be your own judge.
