Large UFO spotted over Hollywood freeway

A California witness at Hollywood reported watching a “large UFO” moving over the Hollywood Bowl-101 Freeway area, according to testimony in Case 80813 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The sighting took place about 2:17 a.m. on December 4, 2016.

“I was in downtown old Hollywood area near 101 Freeway and Franklin junction,” the witness stated.“I pulled my car into the 101 Cafe on Franklin Blvd.into the back parking lot which has a 30-degree and up view of a clear night sky with a west, north, and east. As I parked my car I quickly sighted a large blue-white object in the northwest sky about 35 degrees up from horizon through my wind shield.”

The witness quickly moved into position to investigate.

“My iPhone read 2:17 a.m. Instantly I jumped out to investigate and questioned to my partner what was in the sky. At the same time, as I spoke this question, a female witness at her car behind us joined in with us to question the same object as she just had spotted it as well. Northwest-west toward the Hollywood Bowl in the Hollywood Hills – Mullholand Drive region an object was gracefully flying over those hills which was a clear mile distance from us.”

The witness described the object.

“The object was flat. Its underbelly was a soft, radiant, blue-white light in a honey-combed patterned shape. Very faint aura around the object. The object’s speed resembled the grace of a blimp, very directional and straight, yet very gradual and slow in shift of direction overall through the experience. The object was heading east towards us and its speed was cruising, causal, slow, yet the light detail resembled a superstructure in a blue-white, honey-combed pattern that was entirely luminous. NO landing lights, no blinking lights, no conventional aircraft resemblance. This was a solid, luminous shape that did not pulsate or change intensity in lumination or brightness. It moved gracefully without abrupt turns. Just smooth, clearly indicating behavior of a large craft, like an aircraft carrier or blimp would, and like these examples, one realized it gained distance in a short amount of time.”

The group tried to decide exactly what the object was.

“We were now three witnesses trying to identify the craft. We quickly agreed the craft was not anything we were ever familiar with, as we all have much flying experience. I am a drone owner as well, and this was not the behavior of a drone with zigzag action or its type of lights. About a minute of observation, we agreed the craft with this behavior easily was in the measurement of 100 feet across at least as it dwarfed the structures below on the hills at an 1500-2000 feet elevation above the hills.”

The craft slowly turned.

“Slowly and gradually the craft turned easily northeast and gradually gaining altitude as it flew over the 101 FYW Cahuenga Pass. About after another minute it was clear the craft was gracefully gaining extreme altitude, and due to elevation, its craft detail was getting smaller as it finally settled over the Hollywood sign mountain. The craft peaked about 5,000feet above the mountain and paused its northeastdirection. It hovered still perfectly without a bump for about another minute. Through this time again the craft was gaining more altitude.”

The witnesses watched the object climb.

“About another 30 seconds of this slow climb, the craft slowly flew southward to our direction. The honey-combed lit pattern was so tiny from its height, yet still identifiable. Its movement and behavior resembled that of high space satellite. The craft eventually was now spotted by two more witnesses as they were entering the cafe, as we were all in agreement of tracking the craft. The slow path and ascension ended directly above us about 7000-8000feet as it hovered in place for another five minutes. As the craft paused, to our view it parked itself near two stars creating an even triangle constellation of sorts. These two stars’ location are the first pair northeast of the Orion left shoulder.”

The craft then gained altitude again.

“After this pause the craft gained an altitude to where it now resembled that of a tiny satellite, or the size of the neighboring stars, and like a slow satellite, it traveled directly west over West Hollywood as its slow path was just north of the Orion constellation. The object was exactly star size as it faded westward gaining altitude, yet still identifiable well past west of Hollywood Blvd and Fairfax.”

The witness tried to report the incident.

“The entire event was about 27 minutes as it was slow and gradual as stated before. I then cell phoned the West Hollywood Sheriff to report the sighting and the officer stated there were no reports of the event. I then contacted the next major airport at Burbank which was about 12 miles away. By this hour, the airport has stopped its regular commercial airline service at 10 p.m. I got through to Burbank tower security who accepted my story and he then transferred me to the actual tower. A stand-by night watch tech took my call. I asked if anyone was watching radar in the south direction of 2:17a.m. He stated he wasn’t watching radar at that time. I described my sighting to him; he sounded interested, but after he claimed he still never had evidence on radar, nor looked, therefore he stated he had to go and hung up on me.”

The witness pulled into a local diner parking lot for a closer look. (Credit: Google)

The witness compared the object to known objects.

“This craft had no similarity to the usual police helicopters or commercial aircraft that we see by the dozens daily in the area with our three major commercial airports. We do have Edwards AFB but it’s a two-hour drive north. But this was no Stealth plane outline nor was it the dark large Air Force X-Balloon triangle ship. We haven’t had lighted blimps in years since Goodyear stopped that action, nor could a blimp fly that height out of sight or hover in place. It was not a large manned drone, as it would have been way too small in dimension; also the guide lights on a drone were not the same. Nor could a drone have scaled that altitude for that duration and without one single abrupt zigzag kind of movement. Our sighting was a big luminous craft, with smooth acceleration, ending in high altitude without a flinch. Lots of citizens in LA; please respond if there are any other eyewitnesses.”

MUFON California Field Investigator Earl Gray Anderson is investigating. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Earth totally unprepared for surprise asteroid or comet strike, warns NASA scientist (Watch video)

Earth totally unprepared for surprise asteroid or comet strike, warns NASA scientist (Watch video)

The Earth, our home planet, is due for an “extinction-level” event like a comet or asteroid strike, but apparently humans are vastly unprepared at this point of time to deal with the situation. 

As per reports, an award-winning NASA scientist has warned that human race at this moment remains ill-prepared for any such threat from outer space – especially the kind that has the potentical to wipe out humanity just as how it did to dinosaurs more than 65 million years ago.

Dr Joseph Nuth, of the NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, told attendees during Monday’s annual American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco that there’s not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment,” The Guardian reported.

“But on the other hand, they are the extinction-level events, things like dinosaur killers, they’re 50 to 60 million years apart, essentially. You could say, of course, we’re due, but it’s a random course at that point,” Nuth added.

Nuth noted that, while these kinds of cataclysmic collisions are rare in Earth’s history, they aren’t unrivalled.

There had been two near misses of an asteroid hitting a planet in the solar system – when a comet whirred into Jupiter in 1996 and the other in 2014 which passed perilously close to Mars. During this time, mankind did not have enough time and the appropriate technology to potentially avert it.

Urging policymakers to start preparing for such a possible cataclysmic strike, Nuth suggested that NASA needs to build at least two spacecraft – an interceptor rocket and an observer spacecraft – to mitigate such a threat.

UFO in the secret archives Alien Russia – Alien Area51! VIDEO!

According to information from Russia knows about extraterrestrial civilizations over several decades, so for many it is not surprising that such rumors are circulating for many years. Russia’s first contact with the gray aliens allegedly occurred in 1942. At that time, were planned series of diplomatic visits to discuss issues of mutual interest – by alleged Russian documents and agreements that have been created.

427454_358230817530346_858189570_n

According to the document, 072 / E at meeting the 1961 incident occurred that involved three entities for breach of contract officers army base, when they discovered that their arrival was filmed hidden devices without their consent. Based on the agreement were 23/04 confidential meetings and filming or taking pictures was not allowed.

In 1969, in the State of Sverdlovsk was reported that the crashed UFO. It is reported that the crashed UFO and it was acquired by the Russian army. Video film shows rescue and shots from close range UFO itself. The boat was found a dead alien. The remains of an alien UFO wreckage and were taken to some safe place in Russia, where it was analyzed and the plate on an alien autopsy. The photos appeared little alien. Alleged event was broadcast on TNT special “The Secret UFO Files of the KGB.” The agenda featured the former actor depicting James Bond, Roger Moore. In support of the event was shown compelling video and photographic evidence.

According to the Truth KGB allegedly special unit designed to collect and monitor all kinds of information regarding the mysterious and unexplained phenomena that report back inside, and inside the Soviet Union.

According to the Truth he was also on the show TNT shown photocopies of certain orders of the Soviet defense minister, who looked authentically. In compliance with the order, General A. G. Ponomarenko, chief military command Ural area, had to take care to ensure that the KGB agents involved in work related to the UFO at all stages. Reporting agents were immediately undertaken with Colonel A. I. Grigoriev, chief of the KGB, scientific section. According to Billy J.Booth of www.About.com there are unsubstantiated reports that a UFO crashed or was shot down near the city Prohlandnyi in Russia, the 10th of August 1989, the Soviet military radar watched an unidentified flying object and Russia attempted unsuccessfully to establish a vessel contact. UFO was evaluated as “hostile”. We were alerted to the Soviet defense and that UFO found and identified, were sent MIG-25tky.

. 

On the outside of the ship were noticeable damage. Rehabilitation team, having dressed in protective suits, arrived at the site. Was measured smaller amounts of radiation and some members of the team were contaminated. At the scene came the helicopter and UFO were transported to the air base of Mozdok (North Ossetia-Alania). The Russians entered the UFO and found two dead alien bodies, one still alive. A team of doctors and other employees tried at all costs to keep the alien alive but failed.

All three creatures were about 90 to 120 centimeters tall, with gray-tight suit. Beneath it were the skin blue-green color with a reptilian texture. They had hair, big black eyes were covered with a protective cap and finger-like flotation blánám were finished long, slender arms. Alien bodies were stored in glass containers and the UFO was transported to the spaceport Kapustin Yar (Volgograd). This information was first announced three Russian investigators – it howled: Anton Anfalov, Lenur Azizov and Alexander Mosolov, but who did not have to support these claims, no documents.

New Experiments Raise Doubts About Liquid Water on Mars

New Experiments Raise Doubts About Liquid Water on Mars

Remember when NASA told us there’s liquid water on the surface of Mars? Well, that little factoid might be murkier than we thought. Turns out, a set of new lab experiments seeking to recreate the supporting evidence ended up with an unexpected outcome.

Here’s the deal: the original data that suggested there was water on Mars was based off something called recurring slope lineae — dark streaks that appear and vanish seasonally on the walls of various coasters and canyons on the surface of the planet. Follow-up data collected by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter indicated that the RSL sites possessed hydrated salts, which could essentially be explained only by some sort of liquid flow of water originating from some place.

And of course, the presence of water on another planet is phenomenal because it suggests another world might be capable of supporting life, and that future astronauts may be able to use that water as a resource for a extraterrestrial colony.

Now, the origin of that liquid water was unknown — and it’s still unknown today. Why are scientists so sure the source has to be ground based? Michael Meyer, the lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, explained to Inverse during an interview for a previous story this year that the atmosphere of Mars is extremely dry. “If you completely froze out the atmosphere of mars, you would have a 10 micron layer of ice around the planet,” he explains. “That’s less than the width of a sheet of paper! The likelihood these RSL sites were getting their thirst quenched by atmospheric water was low.

But a team of researchers decided to verify whether the salts in the RSL sites really had to be hydrated through surface flow, or whether atmospheric water could have been enough. A pair of University of Colorado, Boulder scientists exposed salts to atmospheric conditions similar to Mars, and found that some of them actually became hydrated solely through atmospheric means.

Those results, presented last week at the American Geophysical Unions annual fall meeting in San Francisco, don’t outright nix the idea that there’s a source of liquid water somewhere on Mars. But they do raise some concerns that will need to be addressed and explored through future experiments.

What would help the most, actually, is to acquire an actual sample of the hydrated salts on Mars and analyze them directly. The problem is that the RSL sites are located in pretty harsh terrain — sending humans in would be a dangerous endeavor, and we don’t yet have the kind of robotic technology that could feasibly go in on its own.

Regardless, the results underscore the fact that while water on Mars is an exciting prospect, we should not get carried away until we have tangible proof of what we’re seeing.

A.I. Expert: The UN Must Ban Killer Robots Before It's Too Late

A.I. Expert: The UN Must Ban Killer Robots Before It's Too Late

A professor of artificial intelligence has called on the United Nations to impose a global ban on lethal autonomous weapons, fearing the “terrible and terrifying prospect” of robots killing civilians. Toby Walsh, from the University of New South Wales in Australia, wants attendees at Friday’s UN disarmament conference in Geneva to commit to formal discussions over a ban.

“The reason I have been motivated to do this is simple,” Walsh said in a story published Thursday. “If we don’t get a ban in place, there will be an arms race. And the end point of this race will look much like the dystopian future painted by Hollywood movies like The Terminator.”

Walsh points to existing bans on chemical and biological weapons as a model. Their effectiveness is questionable, but they have greatly reduced the likelihood of coming across them in combat. He’s a strong believer in a ban: Walsh was one of the signatories to an open letter in 2015 calling for a ban, and on Thursday he spoke at the UN for a third time to persuade countries to consider the idea.

“All technology can be used for good or bad,” Walsh said in his article. “We need to make a conscious and effective decision soon to take the world down a good path.”

It’s not just on the battlefield that people are concerned about killer machines. Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock, warned in September that private companies using autonomous security robots could lead to a mass increase in global inequality. As wealth accumulates with those in charge of autonomous robots, these machines will be used to crush any revolutionary uprisings occurring in the masses.

Beyond a global ban, A.I. ethicists are turning to guidelines to help encourage “best practices.” A draft IEEE report published this week recommends that weapons without any meaningful human control should be considered unethical. But any rules around A.I. will have to come down to the designers, as hard coding rules into machines is considered a less practical approach. A UN ban, if implemented, would likely mean arms corporations avoiding autonomous weapon designs altogether.

The Enigmatic Pyramids of the Amazon: An ancient civilization lost in time

The Enigmatic Pyramids of the Amazon: An ancient civilization lost in time

In the tangled and dense jungles of the Amazon, there are numerous mysteries that could probably help us understand how ancient civilizations live in the distant past. We know so little about our planet, and researchers are unaware of the possible archaeological discoveries that remain hidden in the Amazon. As technology moves forward and tools as Google Earth become more popular, many people try their luck hoping to make a discovery that no one else has made in the past. Google Earth has become the one of the boldest tools numerous archaeologists are using, consistently delivering huge results that help researchers in many ways.

We are talking about the pyramids of paratoari, usually referred to as “the dots”, seen in one of the satellite images from NASA.

70364636767900181371534

Even thought that several researchers believe that the Pyramids of Paratoari are truncated ridge spurs, which can take the form of natural pyramids, there are many other scientists who firmly believe that these structures were built in the distant past by a civilization that has never before been seen.

Excursions to the region found plenty of evidence of Incan inhabitance in the area, such as petroglyphs, paved roads, and platforms.

The mysterious pyramidal structures were first identified via NASA satellite photograph number C-S11-32W071-03, released in 1976. The images caused numerous researchers to venture to the Manu area of dense tropical rainforest in southeast Peru in hopes to find out whether these structures were actually built by an ancient civilization, lost in time.

386175_310136989006370_369932460_n1

While renewed archaeologists have refused to take into consideration the pyramids and their artificial origin, other researchers suggest that the symmetrical space between them and uniform shape of the structures points to the fact that these are not natural sandstone formations as some have suggested.

The same debate can be seen in the “recently” discovered Pyramids in Bosnia. While numerous researchers suggest that the structures in Visoko are mere natural formations, other researchers point to the fact that the structures in Bosnia are of artificial origin, just like the pyramids of Paratoari.

We have to remember that even today, in the twenty-first century, there are places on Earth, yet unexplored, and the Amazon Jungle is one of the most unexplored regions of them all.

The Pyramids of Paratoari are symmetrically arranged structures that could not be natural formations, but the product of human hands.

Paratoari_dots

Looking at things from a historical point of view, we know that the area of Madre de Dios has been defined by many researchers in the past as the place where the Incas hid after the advance of the Spanish conquistadores towards Cusco in 1533. Wouldn’t it be logical that the Inca created monuments and structures in that region? It certainly is possible if you keep an open mind and understand that there are many hidden secrets buried beneath sands, jungles and oceans around the world.

The mystery of the Pyramids of Paratoari certainly continues and maybe one day, we will know for sure what these mysterious structures truly are.

Bizarre triangle UFO mystery deepens as FOUR tailed by other craft seen over homes

Bizarre triangle UFO mystery deepens as FOUR tailed by other craft seen over homes

THE mystery of bizarre triangle UFO sightings continues after a further sighting was reported.

Yesterday, Express.co.uk reported on the increasing number of reports of triangle-shaped UFOs being made to investigators.

Now details have emerged of a strange sighting said to involve four triangle UFOs, followed by several "star-like objects".

The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is investigating the case.

The unnamed witness from Fairless Hills, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in the US said the triangle-shaped UFOs moved silently and were just 20 feet over neighbouring homes.

Oddly, they said they were followed by "20 to 30 star-like objects".

In a report to US-based MUFON, which holds a global database of UFO sightings, the witness said: “At approximately 8.20pm we turned and began walking up a street with a slight incline, and my youngest child stopped to catch a Pokémon and had lagged behind. 

"I noticed he was no longer with us and I turned around to call to him to catch up, and right behind him were two huge, black, triangular craft, larger than the houses they were above, flying slowly and approximately 20 feet above the one story houses across the street, and approximately 20 feet away.

“The second craft was flying at the same height as the first craft, immediately behind it.

"The two craft were black with three unwavering bright white lights at the three corners of the triangles, with a solid bright primary, red light in the centre of the craft. 

"The craft were completely silent; they were almost on top of us and we never would have known they were there if I did not happen to look behind us. 

"The two craft came from a western direction and were heading east.”

The eyewitness said they changed direction.

They said: "We observed the craft silently shift direction southeast before disappearing behind trees. 

"When I looked behind again to where we had sighted the craft, two more triangular craft were flying in the exact same direction in the exact location where the first two craft were sighted, and they turned and headed southeast in exactly the same spot that the other two craft had turned.

"It was as if we witnessed deja vu; as if we viewed the event again, but this time at a slightly different angle, as we were slightly farther away from the craft the second time around.

“We turned east and onto my road, when we looked up into the sky and witnessed a patch of sky with between 20 and 30 balls of light, exact number unable to be determined, that looked like stars, except that they were moving. 

"Some of the lights were moving very slowly, almost imperceptibly, but other craft were moving so quick that they would leave a light trail behind them, as they shifted position. 

"The lights were different colours, from red to bluish-white to orange to bright white. 

RELATED ARTICLES

"We walked towards this activity in the sky, however, these lights were high up – like stars – and to the east of our location." 

Pennsylvania MUFON State Section Director Donna Luther is investigating the bizarre sighting that happened on November 4.

Our report yesterday told how MUFON receives hundreds of triangle UFO sightings each year.

Some people believe they are alien space craft, while others think they are secret US Air Force tests.

Scott Brando, a forensic UFO investigator, says they are just misidentified aircraft, military flares, or Chinese lanterns.

Resolving the Roswell Mystery

Roswell-Debris-Field-ftr

Resolving the Roswell Mystery

This article originally appeared on the Roswell Daily Record website. It is post here with permission.

As every citizen of Roswell knows, the city is at the center of one of the greatest mysteries of all time. In 1947, something crashed in the New Mexico desert and was taken to Roswell Army [auth] Air Field — now the Roswell International Air Center.

Believers say it was a crashed alien spacecraft, while skeptics argue that it was simply the wreckage of a weather balloon. As we approach the 70th anniversary of this much-debated incident, the Roswell Daily Record is launching a campaign to resolve the mystery for once and for all. To do so, we need your help.
While people argue to this day about what happened at Roswell in the summer of 1947, nobody disputes that something crashed. That’s because far from denying this, the military authorities actually helped get the story out — at least at first.

Roswell Daily Record July 8, 1947.

Roswell Daily Record July 8, 1947.

They signed off on text that read, in part, “The many rumors surrounding the flying disk became a reality yesterday when the intelligence office of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disk.” The Roswell Daily Record wrote this up as the lead story, under the headline “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region.” That July 8, 1947 front-page headline is now as much a part of pop culture as the Roswell incident itself.

However, just a day later, the military changed its story and said that the “flying disk” had been identified as debris from a crashed weather balloon and the equipment it had been carrying. Whatever the truth, something crashed.

Seventy years on, is there any hope of solving the mystery? I think there is. I used to investigate UFOs for the British government, which was just one of a number of fascinating postings I had in a 21-year career at the UK’s Ministry of Defense. In my experience, the key to solving a mystery like this lies in the community in which these events unfolded.

That’s why I’ve teamed up with the Roswell Daily Record to launch an appeal. Because nobody denies there was a crash, we know that there was wreckage. And because no clean-up operation can ever be perfect, and because people like souvenirs, we believe there could still be pieces of this wreckage somewhere out there in the local community.

Some of the military personnel involved in the Roswell incident lived off-base in the local community. Some put down roots in Roswell. These people — or perhaps their children or grandchildren — might have boxes up in their attics, filled with memorabilia.

Alternatively, is there a trinket box on the mantelpiece, a jewelry box hidden away somewhere, or a desk drawer that hasn’t been cleared out in years? Our request is that readers root around and see what they can turn up. Look in particular for strange pieces of metal, but keep an eye out for anything else that might be connected with the events of 1947, such as documents, photographs or diaries. While our main focus of interest is the Roswell crash, we’d be fascinated in anything else that relates to the military base or the city itself, as it was in 1947.

Why are we launching this appeal now? Many of the people involved in the Roswell incident have passed away. The whole event is passing from living memory into history. The forthcoming 70th anniversary is likely to attract considerable media attention and public interest. Thus, it may represent our final chance to smoke out memories and memorabilia from those who were there — a last opportunity to solve the mystery.

The Daily Record is organizing a 70th anniversary event June 30 through July 2 at the Sally Port Inn & Suites. The event is called 2017 Roswell Incident and will feature a number of UFO experts and witnesses who’ll share their stories and experiences with attendees.

I’ll be one of these guests. As part of this event, the Daily Record would like to showcase any evidence that local people find around their homes. In the run-up to the event, we’ll keep readers updated on the search, and will feature any interesting developments in the newspaper and on our website.

So please have a good root-around and see if you can turn up anything that might help us resolve the Roswell mystery. If you do, please email webmaster@rdrnews.com. Happy hunting.

'Spoon' on Mars catches hungry UFO hunter's attention

'Spoon' on Mars catches hungry UFO hunter's attention

Dinner is served...on Mars. An eagle-eyed UFO fan spots a formation that resembles an eating utensil like we use here on Earth.

While scientists puzzle over important Mars questions -- Is there evidence of past life there? Liquid water? -- some of us are left to ask more mundane questions, like: Was there once soup on Mars? YouTube user UFO Hunter spotted what looks like a spoon half-buried in dust on the surface of the Red Planet.

The image in question comes from NASA's Curiosity rover, which snapped it back in May. UFO Hunter shared the sighting on Tuesday, suggesting it may be "left over from a lost civilization."

As thrilling as that sounds, the more likely explanation is that it's an odd spoon-shaped bit of regular old Mars landscape.

Humans have a propensity for assigning familiar characteristics to random objects, a phenomenon called "pareidolia." This is what lets us imaginatively see sheep in clouds and everything from a fish to Donald Trump's face on Mars.

This isn't the first time a spoon-like formation has been spotted in a rover image. A gravity-defying, shadow-casting "spoon" popped up in late 2015. Maybe someday we'll find an entire set of silverware so we can throw a formal dinner party on Mars. Let's just be sure to invite the planet's ancient gods.

When it comes to the hunt for extraterrestrial life, perhaps the biggest dream we have isn't to encounter a civilization like our own, but one far more advanced. Rather than seeking radio signals, electromagnetic beacons or chemical signatures, perhaps we could look for something far more advanced than anything we've done here. Perhaps looking for large-scale planet or solar system modifications -- evidence that aliens had altered an entire world or the space around a star -- would be the miracle signal we've been longing for. If you ever encountered a case where all the natural explanations you could come up with for your observations failed, the idea of Alien Megastructures might be the ultimate dream come true.

The Kepler spacecraft was remarkable for its ability to observe and monitor the brightness of more than 100,000 stars at once over timescales of multiple years. If a star brightened or dimmed, temporarily or permanently, once or periodically, we could determine all sorts of natural causes. Transiting planets that dipped behind or passed in front of their parent star were revealed; hundreds of eclipsing binary stars were uncovered; intrinsically varying stars were found. Practically all of the variations seen were regular, periodic and predictable. But there's one star that stands out from all the others: KIC 8462852, known as Tabby's star for the leader of the team studying it, Tabetha S. Boyajian. Its flux drops off by incredibly large amounts, larger than any conceivable planetary transit could cause, and it does so with no discernible period, with varying drops by varying amounts.

There are a few stars that have been discovered that do something similar, but all of them are part of a class of objects known as YSOs: Young Stellar Objects. The other stars are very young, having not finished forming yet. They all exhibit protoplanetary disks and give off large amounts of infrared radiation. In particular, their light curves -- including the shapes of their dips -- also differ from that of Tabby's star. Out of over 100,000 stars imaged by Kepler, Tabby's star is unique. For one, it has the hallmarks of an older star, one only slightly more massive than our Sun but that's hundreds of millions years old, rather than just a few million like YSOs. No infrared radiation means no protoplanetary disk around it. Large, ringed planets give the wrong signal shape to block that much light. Colliding, massive planets have been disfavored by follow-up studies looking for warm dust as a result. Even dusty, swarming comets would have infrared radiation, but none beyond what's localized in the central star system is seen.

And unlike all the other stars, Tabby's star has controversially been slowly but consistently changing in brightness, with a net dimming, over the past 120 years. When all the seemingly natural, expected explanations fail, whatever is left, no matter how unlikely, must be the truth. Would that mean alien megastructures? Not so fast!

In the past 48 hours, two new, independent studies have come out, each one offering up a possible explanation that might be consistent with all of the data so far. And neither one invokes aliens. The first one theorizes that these unique variations come from dimming "outbursts" originating from the star itself.

The method involves looking, in gory detail, at all the small dips in brightness coming from the star itself as well as the large, aperiodic ones. The smaller dips are also non-periodic, but are thought to represent the underlying activity -- likely caused by outbursts that then block the light -- from the star. These are frequent, and they occur on all scales: at the 1% level, the 0.1% level, the 0.01% level, etc. By modeling the frequency and intensity of these outbursts, they can construct a mathematical model for the large outbursts, which they dub statistical avalanches. As Mohammed Sheikh, leader of the study, says,

"Once the light curve drops below the threshold, we consider such an event the start of an avalanche. While the light curve remains below the threshold the avalanche continues, and it stops when it increases again to a value above the threshold."

Their analysis shows that the avalanche model is extremely consistent with what's observed. In other words, this could just be a star that's intensely active in some poorly understood way, giving off periodic massive outbursts that cause a dimming of the light. And the fact that stars like this are rare is what's been fooling us all along.

Originally, a scenario of a shattered comet was considered to explain Tabby's star. Instead, a series of long-period comet-like objects with massive dust halos could cause these temporary, transient flux dips. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.

The second paper hypothesizes a new class of object: a massive object surrounded by a dust cloud. This would sound insane except we already have objects that do this in our Solar System: comets. If they start a long distance from the star, start emitting a tail and a coma, and then transit in front of the star, they could cause these large flux dips. The signal would also be aperiodic. By simply setting up this hypothesis and fiddling with a few free parameters, they can easily fit all four of the largest flux dips fairly well, showing that there is another potential path to solving this problem other than aliens.

The red lines (models) and the green lines (data) can be matched very well from a massive object-with-a-dust cloud model with very few free parameters, but it will take detailed follow-up observations to confirm this picture.

It's only human nature to want the most fantastic of our dreams to come true. To discover an alien species much more advanced than our own would certainly meet that criteria, and would revolutionize how we view our place in the Universe. But before embracing anything along those lines, all the natural explanations need to be ruled out. This includes large-perihelion comets, which could block a large amount of the star's light in a temporary, transient way, and the statistical avalanche theory, which might hold a clue. As physicist Steinn Sigur∂sson states:

The large brightness variations cannot be explained with simple astrophysical models. Normal middle-aged main sequence stars do not exhibit large spontaneous brightness variations. While other stars have been seen to dim by comparable amounts and durations, they were all much younger—in or near the star-forming phase. [Tabby's] star would be a one-in-a-million anomaly.

It's already a one-in-100,000+ anomaly, and everyone agrees that further follow-up observations are mandatory for uncovering the root cause. No matter what the solution, we're bound to learn something new about the Universe. The revolution is at hand. The only question is whether it will be a revolution for stellar astrophysicists, planet hunters, or the entire human race.

Multiple UFOs reported 20 feet over Pennsylvania homes

Multiple UFOs reported 20 feet over Pennsylvania homes

A Pennsylvania witness at Fairless Hills reported watching four triangle-shaped UFOs silently moving just 20 feet over neighboring homes followed by 20 to 30 star-like objects crossing the sky, according to testimony in Case 80797 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The sighting began about 8:20 p.m. on November 4, 2016, when the witness took his two children out for a walk in search of Pokémon hotspots.

“It was a crisp fall night, and for a night sky, the sky was bright and full of stars with no clouds or precipitation,” the witness stated. “At approximately 8:20 p.m. we turned and began walking up a street with a slight incline, and my youngest child stopped to catch a Pokémon and had lagged behind. I noticed he was no longer with us and I turned around to call to him to catch up, and right behind him were two huge, black, triangular craft, larger than the houses they were above, flying slowly and approximately 20 feet above the one story houses across the street, and approximately 20 feet away.”

The witness immediately spotted a second craft.

“The second craft was flying at the same height as the first craft, immediately behind it. The two craft were black with three unwavering bright white lights at the three corners of the triangles, with a solid bright primary, red light in the center of the craft. The craft were completely silent; they were almost on top of us and we never would have known they were there if I did not happen to look behind us. The two craft came from a western direction and were heading east.”

The objects then changed direction.

“We observed the craft silently shift direction southeast before disappearing behind trees and we lost visual contact with the craft. We continued walking up the road away from the craft headed north, heading home, for approximately 10 seconds, when I looked behind again to where we had sighted the craft. Two more triangular craft were flying in the exact same direction in the exact location where the first two craft were sighted, and they turned and headed southeast in exactly the same spot that the other two craft had turned. It was as if we witnessed deja vu; as if we viewed the event again, but this time at a slightly different angle, as we were slightly farther away from the craft the second time around.”

The witness then returned to the original location.

“We walked back down to the location where we spotted and observed the first craft, this time from a farther distance away, as the craft were heading away from us. And at this point my eldest son managed to snap two photographs of these second two craft with his phone.”

The witness then observed a large group of star-like objects.

“We turned east and onto my road, when we looked up into the sky and witnessed a patch of sky with between 20 and 30 balls of light, exact number unable to be determined, that looked like stars, except that they were moving. Some of the lights were moving very slowly, almost imperceptibly, but other craft were moving so quick that they would leave a light trail behind them, as they shifted position. The lights were different colors, from red to bluish-white to orange to bright white. We walked towards this activity in the sky, however, these lights were high up – like stars – and to the east of our location. Our vision would occasionally be obstructed as we walked on our street due to street lamps, but the activity continued unabated as we reached our house. We ran inside and I asked my wife to come out and check out what was happening in the sky. Approximately three minutes later, just after 8:30 p.m., we walked back outside and there was nothing in the sky where we had just observed the lights; not even observable stars.”

Close Encounter With A Triangle UFO Reported Over Ohio

Close Encounter With A Triangle UFO Reported Over Ohio

ufo

A massive, triangle UFO was spotted and recorded on videos above Springfield, Ohio. The witness was driving along a highway approaching Columbus when he first saw strange lights in the sky at 10 p.m. on the 29th of November 2016.

The witness described the colored lights as white, green, and red at the time and cylinder-like. The object got bigger as it became closer to the witness. This time, the object was not a cylinder looking anymore as it was starting to look like an airplane because it became like a triangular shape.

From the witness’ perspective, the object was gigantic.

As the UFO became so close to the witness, he realized that it was not an airplane. He saw a huge triangular shape UFO.

Using his cellphone, the witness captured snapchat videos and immediately sent them to his friends without saving them. Then the UFO started to turn a little bit like an airplane and went back to its straight position, the witness stated.

It came to his mind that it may be a plane crashing, resulting him to freak out. He was just calm down when the UFO was gone when he passed it in a flash and could not see it out of his window anymore.

The witness said that the object in question had a blackish gray base with red lights on it and three white lights on the three corners. He did not save any of the videos, and his friend sent him back screenshotted parts.  The witness filed a report that included one image to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). It can be accessed in Case 80785 of the MUFON’s witness reporting database.

Aliens Coming or Leaving Through A Wormhole, Conspiracy Theorists and Ufologists Claim

Aliens Coming or Leaving Through A Wormhole, Conspiracy Theorists and Ufologists Claim

wormhole-ufo

The recent news on UFO landing on Earth has caused debates online as some enthusiasts suggested it emerged through a bright blue wormhole. The video of the event has since become viral and picked up by many conspiracy news sites and YouTube channels.

Though the video clip has spread widely over the internet, the location is still unknown. Eyewitnesses said the event involved a UFO that seemed to emerge via a bright blue tractor beam.

Skeptics suggested, however, the video is only meant to attract money through advertisements. They said that it is only a spoof or just a lightning strike.

Leading conspiracy theorists claimed that Nevada and Arizona are hotbeds for UFO sightings since they housed some alien spaceships.

Some renowned UFOlogists claimed the sighting happened on December 1 in Arizona. They are convinced that an alien spacecraft shot off through a wormhole to leave the Earth.

Despite allegations from UFOlogists and conspiracy theorists, NASA has refused to provide an official statement about it.

Triangle UFO filmed over Weirton, West Virginia 21-Sep-2016

Triangle UFO filmed over Weirton, West Virginia 21-Sep-2016

triangle-ufo

Here’s one interesting sighting of a triangular-shaped craft that was flying over Weirton in West Virginia.

Witness report: 

Thank you for reviewing this case. I am also a MUFON member. Please do not dismiss due to the sound on this video, I will explain this odd event, I did not want to modify the video in any way to make it not credible. In September a week or 2 after coming back from Las Vegas Nevada my fiance and I experienced alot of bizarre events. During our trip to Las Vegas, being interested in the truth in EBE’s we drove out to Rachel Nevada, visiting the “black mailbox” I left behind an old student id card (not valid with an old address) after visiting the black mailbox we continued on our way to the back entrance of Area 51 and got as close to the gate as lawfully possible.

As we walked to the gate jokingly I said to my fiance, little do they know that we know the truth. We then came back to WV and just a week or 2 after our trip. My fiance was on the back porch at night (approx time at top) she saw these very low triangular orb set glide across the sky, she then yelled for me to come out. I can describe the object or objects too low to be an airplane and absolutely silent to be a helicopter. Usually helicopters have red flashing or white flashing lights. This was just 3,4 or 5 solid white lights in complete silence. They orbs did not hang around too much and the video was a last second record, so its a bit shaky. The orbs slowly disapeared behind a wooded area, twords the end you may think the lights are flashing but its just the lights shining in and out of trees. *****NOW let me explain the sound*****, after we got done recording it I decided to upload it to facebook and after uploading it to facebook, because I like to educate the public best of my knowledge, for some odd reason, facebook added this most bizarre sound i’ve ever heard. Facebook cant integrate sound into videos you upload.. My fiance and I are very serious on this topic so neither of us would be so arrogant to crack a joke. To this day I still cannot figure out how the audio got added to it or why, to make it a bit more credible, i’m a Systems Engineer, I live, eat, breathe technology.

Some unrelated bizarre happenings few days later after seeing this UFO, for 1 day and 1 day only, talking on the phone with my fiance, almost seemed like some staticy noise with odd sounds in the background, almost like two phone lines crossed over like the old cordless phones. We were using cellphones. It never happened again after that day… I feel like (not being paranoid) I was being profiled some how and some way by the ID I left back at the black mailbox.. If you have any questions please let me know, i’m happy to help disclose the truth to better mankind.

Black Helicopter Appears To Be Chasing A UFO

Black Helicopter Appears To Be Chasing A UFO

ufo-uk

A small dark object was spotted ahead of a helicopter in what many thought a hot pursuit operation. Window cleaner Darren Cooper hurriedly got his camera when he spotted a strange object in the evening sky. The UFO reportedly hovered above the witness for a few minutes before apparently flew off into the distance.

The dad-of-four got startled when he found out two minutes later that a black helicopter swooped above his house in seemingly hot pursuit of the strange object.

Southampton resident Darren said he went back to the house to review the footage, but within two minutes, he noticed a helicopter above the house. He rushed back outside with the camcorder. He saw the chopper followed the same flight path as the UFO in the sky earlier.

The video shows a helicopter seemingly turning as if searching for something.

There are many reports in the past involving helicopters coming after UFO sightings since the 1960s. These helicopters are believed to be part of a secret military force monitoring UFO activities.
Declassified FBI files have disclosed reports on the presence of a jet-black aircraft in Colorado during a wave of cattle mutilation cases, where animal organs were removed with surgical precision and entirely drained of blood.

Some investigators of the cattle mutilations even claimed that phantom helicopters harassed them.

Location of discovery: Between 3 Tau and 2 Tau, Taurus Constellation
Google sky coordinates:  17.780023° -113.666547°

This long cigar UFO is in the Taurus constellation. Its huge, and its moving through space. Space station or space base, its out there. Its gigantic in terms of size. If we lined up Earth side by side, we would have about ten Earths long. There are some very big things out there, and to construct such things aliens must have taken thousand of our years or more to make them. But, if your technology never lets you die, if you live forever, then...you have all the time in the universe. 


Anyways, aliens wouldn't make them, they would tell their construction robots to make more robots, when the crew grows to say...a ten thousand, these robots begin working on construction of the craft. Materials can be either recycled from old abandoned craft or mined. Remember, you are not doing the work, its being done by drone robots, working 24/7 never resting, never taking breaks or using the bathroom to play on their phones, or demanding more money when they can't do half the job of the guy next to them.

Are mysterious triangle UFOs REAL? Sightings of huge silent TR-3B craft keep happening

Are mysterious triangle UFOs REAL? Sightings of huge silent TR-3B craft keep happening

EXCLUSIVE: SIGHTINGS of strange triangular UFOs keep being reported, leading to claims aliens could actually be visiting Earth in the mysterious crafts.

Triangle-UFO

MUFON

The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) has received 15 reports of “triangle UFOs” being spotted in the skies since the start of December.

The MUFON global database of UFO sightings receives hundreds of similar reports each year, with numbers seemingly on the rise.

The reports are often eerily similar, leading to speculation the bizarre UFOs could be REAL.

Many reports tell of a silent triangle shape, defined by a series of lights, that are said to be in some cases as big as a football field, moving slowly across the sky.

The most infamous mass triangle UFO sighting was the Phoenix Lights incident of March 13 1997 over Arizona.

Five lights were seen in a formation by thousands of people over three hours from 7.30pm to 10.30pm.

The sightings took place a cross a 300-mile area from Phoenix to Tucson.

It was blamed by officials as military flares at the time.

Another mysterious case was the Belgian UFO wave from November 1989. 

TR-3B

Thirty different groups of witnesses, and three groups of police officers, reported seeing on November 29 a large object flying at low altitude. 

The craft was described as "flat, of triangular shape, with lights underneath", and being silent as it slowly moved across Belgium towards the Netherlands and Germany.

Some alien hunters believe they are the motherships of extraterrestrials visiting Earth.

However, many conspiracy theorists believe they are actually secret aircrafts developed by the US Air Force (USAF) which are being tested.

The TR-3B is alleged by conspiracy theorists to be a secret "black project" spy craft of the US Government that can be flown into space.

The allegations are that these crafts are created at top-secret military bases like Area 51 in Nevada, by reverse engineering alien technology.

Last month Express.co.uk reported on an alleged TR-3B sighting and video that was reported to MUFON after a couple visited close to the mysterious Area 51 USAF base in the Nevada desert, where conspiracy theorists claim UFO technology is experimented on away from public view.

RELATED ARTICLES

Scott C Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com, later blogged about the sighting.

He wrote: “The video shows a TR-3B-type craft that is not fully powered up. “When a TR-3B craft is powered, the centre orb will glow the brightest, but here the centre orb is there, but dark. 

“If this is a TR3B, then its has a higher chance of being a new pilot from the USAF learning to handle the alien technology craft at night so the public doesn't see it flying about, but since it lights up like a christmas tree at night...that is actually a foolish assumption.”

MUFON received another report from a witness on December 13, about an alleged sighting at 5am on November 25 above Little Mountain in South Carolina.

The report said: “Planes don't fly at 4.45 to 5am and no planes are triangle shaped. 

“It was hard to see the ship but I saw the outline because of the green lights in the shape of a triangle. It moved without a sound.”

A couple reported seeing one on December 10 at 4.44am over Windsor, Maine.

The report said: “It was large and shaped like a carpenters framing square, triangle shaped, with at least six red lights, and a weird turquoise light that went off at its point.

“It was silent. It made my wife and I sick to our stomachs to see. 

“It wasn’t your normal plane it was huge and close enough to make out.”

The reports have kept coming, with another made on December 8, at 8.15pm above Virginia.

This object was moving so slowly, a normal plane could not stay up in the sky given the speed of this object. No sounds.

Report to MUFON

The witness said: “I drove right under it near the reservoir on 17. 

“Black triangle. It hovered then flew slowly away, no noise. Red and blue lights pulsating.”

Another was seen on December 5 at 8.30pm above Bay Village, Ohio.

The report said: “I thought it was a very very large plane moving extremely slow across the southwest sky. 

“It had blinking lights, yellow, golden in colour, and looked to be the shape of a triangle. 

“The lights were three to four spaced on either side. 

“This object was moving so slowly, a normal plane could not stay up in the sky given the speed of this object. No sounds.”

US-based MUFON is the biggest organisation in the world dedicated to UFO and alien research.

Its chief investigator for Ohio, Ron McGlone, is investigating another local sighting, with an image, from November 29, which was close to the Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

Conspiracy theorists claim this base is a centre for the TR-3B and other experimental crafts because it houses the Air Force Research Laboratory. 

The witness from Springfield, also in Ohio, reported a close encounter with a “gigantic, triangular UFO,” according to their testimony.

They were driving along Highway 2-75 approaching Columbus when “lights in the sky” were seen at 10pm.

They said: “Now it was huge, and no longer looked like an airplane because of its massive size and obvious triangular shape.

“And I’m thinking, ‘maybe it’s a plane crashing,’ because we were also near the Wright Patterson Air Force Base and I start hyperventilating and just absolutely freak out and thinking

I was going to die.” 

He described it as a “blackish grey base with red lights somewhere on it and on the three corners there were three white lights.”

Although MUFON investigates the bizarre triangle sightings, it still urges caution.

Roger Marsh, MUFON director of communications, said: “Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made.”

But he urged for any UFO sightings to be made to the group.

Scott Brando runs website ufoofinterest.org which exposes hoax UFO sightings.

He is sceptical any unexplainable sightings have been made.

He says the Phoenix Lights Incident was explained as aircraft and military flares.

He told Express.co.uk: “The Phoenix lights were explained with two different events. The first was the flight of five planes in V-shape formation.

"This is what the witness saw in that day.

"The second event was the launch of military flares over Estrella mountains."

He said of the Belgian UFO Wave: "The Belgian UFO wave began as a normal sighting (some lights in the sky) and then spread virally, but it took more time because at that time the

media coverage had no internet like now."

Referring to triangle UFOs generally, he added: “About other similar sightings I'd like to see some reports by MUFON, however many formation of sky lanterns or the launch of skydivers

Golden Knights were often mistaken for UFOs.”

The Largest Ever Digital Survey of the Universe Just Mapped Billions of Stars

The Largest Ever Digital Survey of the Universe Just Mapped Billions of Stars

Rob Ratkowski
IN BRIEF
  • The four year long survey of the stars has culminated in the largest map of space to ever have been created, totaling 2 petabytes of data.
  • The more we learn about space and the origins of other celestial bodies, the more we can learn about how our planet was formed and possibly get answers to many of the mysteries still left in the universe.

PAN-STARRS PROJECT

The Earth is but one among the many celestial bodies floating in space. We know there’s a lot more out there, stars, galaxies, planets, asteroids and we can see some of them in the night sky. Using visible and infrared light the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System observatory (Pan-STARRS) created a digital map, which it released this week. It’s the world’s largest digital survey to date.

Pan-STARRS is a 1.8-meter telescope located at the summit of Haleakalā, on Maui. It’s a consortium composed of astronomers and engineers from 14 institutions from six countries, including the University of Hawaii, and the Max Planck Institutes for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg and for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching.

LOOK TO THE STARS

Their sky map (or the Pan-STARRS1 survey) data covers 3 billion sources of visible and infrared light, including galaxies, stars, and other objects. The collected data totals 2 petabytes, enough to fill 40 million four-drawer filing cabinets full of single-spaced pages of text. Pan-STARRS collected all the data in a period of four years, where it observed the sky rapidly and repeatedly, scanning it 12 times using five different filters. Pan-STARRS is making all of this data available for the astrophysics community to study.

“The Pan-STARRS1 Surveys allow anyone to access millions of images and use the database and catalogs containing precision measurements of billions of stars and galaxies,” explained Ken Chambers, Director of the Pan-STARRS Observatories. “With this release we anticipate that scientists – as well as students and even casual users – around the world will make many new discoveries about the universe from the wealth of data collected by Pan-STARRS.”

Furthermore, this survey covers Earth’s cosmological neighbors and even astronomical objects farther beyond. “Pan-STARRS has made discoveries from Near Earth Objects and Kuiper Belt Objects in the Solar System to lonely planets between the stars; it has mapped the dust in three dimensions in our galaxy and found new streams of stars; and it has found new kinds of exploding stars and distant quasars in the early universe,” Chambers added.

According to Hans-Walter Rix, director of the Galaxies and Cosmology department of MPIA:

Pan-STARRS1 mapped our home galaxy, the Milky Way, to a level of detail never achieved before. The survey provides, for the first time, a deep and global view of a significant fraction of the Milky Way plane and disk—an area usually avoided by surveys given the complexity of mapping these dense and dusty regions. And Pan-STARRS1 goes far beyond that: its unique combination of imaging depth, area and colors allowed it to discover the majority of the most distant known quasars: these are the earliest examples in our universe that giant black holes had grown at the centers of galaxies.

Such an unprecedented achievement is going to have a long lasting impact on the study of our universe. This data alone will allow astronomers a clearer view of the geometry of the universe than ever before possible. Technology is allowing for the acceleration of space discovery and its continued development will help us answer the deepest mysteries of space.

What's an Earth-Like Planet Anyway?

What's an Earth-Like Planet Anyway?

What's an Earth-Like Planet Anyway?

Project Blue contributed this article to Space.com's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

For centuries, humans have wondered whether Earth is unique in the universe, or if similar planets exist out there. Even a decade ago, we still did not know — but then NASA's Kepler Space Telescope made discoveries that changed everything.

Thanks to that important mission, the answer became clear: other planets like ours are out in the cosmos. We just haven't seen one with our own eyes yet.

Since its 2009 launch, Kepler has discovered more than 2,000 confirmed exoplanets and has given us a huge amount of information about their orbits and sizes. The planets found range greatly in their masses, composition and orbital distances: for instance, enormous gas giants orbiting incredibly close to their stars, called hot Jupiters; planets that orbit two stars, called circumbinary planets; and rocky planets with the potential to be like Earth. [In Mission To Find Another Earth, Project Blue Hopes To Inspire (Video)]

The planets considered Earth-like are rocky on their surface and about 0.5 to 1.5 times the size of Earth. They also land in the "habitable zone" of their orbiting stars, meaning they fall in the sweet spot of orbital distance — not too close and not too far away — and therefore have the potential to be able to support liquid water on their surfaces. The ability to support water is huge, as it means the planet could have the potential to support life.

Kepler showed us these planets are common in the universe. In fact, we now know there are more potentially habitable planets in our galaxy alone than there are people alive on Earth. One out of every two sun-like stars you see in the night sky has a rocky, Earth-like planet in its habitable zone.

Earlier this year, one potentially habitable planet made news when scientists discovered it orbiting the nearby red dwarf star Proxima Centauri. That planet, called Proxima b, which has similarities to Earth that include orbiting in the habitable zone of its star, so the potential to support water, and a size about 1.3 times that of Earth.

We now know these planets exist, but we have yet to see them. To know more about a planet's Earth-like properties, such as whether it hosts water or oxygen, further specific detection methods are needed. Thanks to recent breakthroughs, the technology now exists to capture a direct image of an Earth-like planet outside our solar system. That's what we aim to do at Project Blue.

Our mission is to capture an image, visible to the human eye, of one of these worlds. Proxima b is an unlikely candidate, as it orbits so close to its small, dim star that it would be extremely difficult to image with a telescope. Project Blue is therefore targeting our best chance at success: our stellar neighbor Alpha Centauri. 

Our goal is to see a "pale blue dot" that could indicate the presence of oceans or an atmosphere — and the potential to support life. Since Alpha Centauri is a binary system, it doubles our chances, and the probability that we'll find at least one potentially habitable planet is around 85 percent.

Capturing the first image of a planet like ours and seeing it with our eyes will help us begin to characterize its properties and spark a movement to quickly further research. The photograph of Earth 2.0 would be a defining moment in human history and is sure to transform how we see ourselves in the universe.

Project Blue is running a crowdfunding campaign right now to fund initial research and design.

'Brightest Supernova Ever' Was Actually Monster Black Hole's Violent Star Slashing

'Brightest Supernova Ever' Was Actually Monster Black Hole's Violent Star Slashing

An incredibly luminous outburst that astronomers had previously classified as possibly the brightest supernova ever actually might have been caused by the explosive death of a star torn apart by a giant black hole, a new study finds.

Supernovas are explosions that can happen when stars die, either after running out of fuel or gaining a sudden influx of new material. These outbursts can briefly outshine all of the other stars in their galaxies.

Recently, scientists discovered a very rare class of supernova, known as superluminous supernovas. These explosions are up to 100 times brighter than other supernovas but account for less than one-thousandth of all supernovas. [Supernova Photos: Great Images of Star Explosions]

In January, astronomers analyzing data from the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) reported discovering an outburst more than twice as bright as any known supernova. The explosion, named ASASSN-15lh, happened about 3.8 billion light-years from Earth, in the sky at the border of the southern constellations Indus and Tucana, and gave off about 570 billion times more light than the sun does at its peak.

Initially, scientists classified ASASSN-15lh as a superluminous supernova — indeed, the most luminous seen yet. However, researchers now think this explosion may actually have been the death throes of a star ripped apart by a supermassive black hole up to billions of times the mass of the sun.

A number of factors suggested that ASASSN-15lh was not a superluminous supernova. For instance, it occurred in a large, reddish galaxy, "a location where we should not find superluminous supernovae," said lead study author Giorgos Leloudas, an astrophysicist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and the Dark Cosmology Centre in Denmark. This kind of galaxy lacks the young massive stars that previous research suggested give rise to superluminous supernovas, he said.

Moreover, after gazing at ASASSN-15lh for 10 months of follow-up observations, Leloudas and his colleagues suggest that the way the explosion evolved over time "is not consistent with an expanding ball of gas," Leloudas told Space.com. Instead of cooling down over time as supernovas are supposed to do, "this object, after 100 days, started warming up again, and stayed hot at a constant and very high temperature for a long time, and it continues to do so," he said.

Instead, the researchers suggest that ASASSN-15lh may have been caused by a star disintegrating under the gravitational pull of a black hole — a so-called tidal disruption event. The composition of the elements seen in the explosion are more consistent with a tidal disruption event of a low-mass star than with a superluminous supernova, Leloudas said.

In addition, using images from the Hubble Space Telescope, Leloudas and his colleagues found that ASASSN-15lh occurred at the center of its galaxy. Previous research found that supermassive black holes reside in the center of virtually all known large galaxies. The researchers suggest that the supermassive black hole that may have caused this explosive outburst ranged from 200 million to 3 billion times the sun's mass.

Prior work found that the supermassive black hole at the center of ASASSN-15lh's galaxy was so big that it would have swallowed a star whole instead of ripping it apart. Using new models, Leloudas and his colleagues have discovered that a rapidly whirling supermassive black hole could rend a star to pieces instead of gulping it down whole.

Only about 10 tidal disruption events have been discovered, the researchers said. This new finding may demonstrate that "tidal disruption events show a much larger diversity than what we knew before, and that they can reach extreme luminosities," Leloudas said.

Leloudas cautioned that they cannot say with complete certainty that ASASSN-15lh was a tidal disruption event, and that they cannot explain every detail of what they observed. Still, "this is how science advances — now, more clever people can look at the data we publish and come up with theories that can explain the missing pieces," he said.

The scientists detailed their findings online Dec. 12 in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Are Mars' Dark Streaks Really Evidence of Liquid Water?

SAN FRANCISCO — The intriguing story of Mars' mysterious dark streaks may have a new twist.

The streaks, known as recurring slope lineae (RSL), occur seasonally on steep, relatively warm slopes at many locations on the Red Planet. They were discovered in 2011 by scientists studying images captured by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).

Many researchers initially speculated that RSL may be signs of liquid water at or near the Martian surface, and this hypothesis got a big boost last year when a study reported that MRO had detected hydrated salts within the streaks. [Liquid Water on Mars: The Discovery in Pictures]

The hydrated-salts discovery generated a lot of excitement, because it suggested that some places on the otherwise dry Red Planet's surface may be capable of supporting life as we know it today. The presence of available liquid water — even salty water, as the stuff within the RSLs would likely be — could also aid efforts to send astronauts to Mars, NASA officials have said.

But it may be prudent to rein in that excitement a bit, according to a new study. Hydrated salts are crystalline solids, and it's possible that the water the RSL salts contain comes from the Martian atmosphere rather than liquid water at or near the surface, said Raina Gough, a research scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Gough and her colleague, Margaret Tolbert, also of UC Boulder, performed lab experiments to test this idea. They exposed various anhydrous (dry) salts to Mars-like atmospheric conditions and found that some of them — calcium perchlorate and calcium chloride — did indeed become hydrated. (The RSL salts on Mars appear to be perchlorates of some kind, the researchers who spotted them wrote in their 2015 study.) 

These results, which Gough presented Tuesday (Dec. 13) here at the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), don't prove anything; it's still very possible that liquid water is involved in the formation of the hydrated salts within the RSL across Mars, Gough stressed. But that exciting scenario shouldn't be taken as a given, she added.

"Hydrated salts are not always evidence of liquid water," Gough told Space.com at the AGU meeting.

Future lab work should attempt to determine which salts cannot be hydrated via atmospheric water alone, Gough and Tolbert wrote in the new study. Such salts, if identified on Mars, would provide very strong evidence for the presence of liquid water, they added.

How to Build a Death Star

How to Build a Death Star

How to Build a Death Star
The moon-size, weaponized space station, Death Star, is seen in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."
Credit: copyright 2016 Lucasfilm Ltd. All Rights Reserved.

This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Live Science's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

I'm very excited about seeing Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which tells the tale summarized in the original Star Wars' opening crawl. This is the story of how the rebels stole the plans to the original "Death Star" – a space station the size of a small moon with a weapon powerful enough to destroy a planet.

If we could get our hands on those plans, could we build a similar fortress? I decided to try to work out some aspects of how a Death Star might actually work. In Star Wars lore, the 120 km (75-mile) diameter space station was made from quadanium steel (a fictional metal alloy) and crewed by 2m Imperial personnel, including officers, Stormtroopers and TIE pilots.

So would it possible in the real world? Let's not worry about the vast quantities of raw materials required. For example, at current production rates of steel it would take 182 times the current age of the universe to accrue enough. I'm more concerned conceptually with how to power such a colossal battle station and how to generate gravity for everyone on board. It turns out our conventional technologies might not cut it.

The International Space Station requires about 0.75 W of power for every m³ of the space station. These are provided by eight solar arrays, 112 feet (34m) long by 39 feet (12m) wide. Even if we had 100% efficient solar panels covering the much larger Death Star, we'd still be a factor of 45 times short of the ISS's power requirements per unit volume. Not to mention that power would severely diminish if we took the space station further away from the sun.

You might think we could learn lessons from the sci-fi classic 2001 A Space Odyssey in terms of the gravity and just spin the Death Star to create artificial gravity via centrifugal forces. To replicate the gravity on Earth (9.81 metres per second squared or 1 g), the station would only need to revolve once every 3.5 minutes, which doesn't sound too absurd.

But there was a reason the station was ring-shaped in 2001. The centrifugal force is proportional to the radius of your circular path. As you travel either towards the centre of the station or towards the poles, this radius decreases meaning the artificial gravity would start to vanish. If indeed gravity was created this way, it calls into question the Death Star's spherical design.

Perhaps the clue was in the name the whole time. What if at the heart of the Death Star is an artificial star? Surely that would solve the gravity problem? This makes the station something of a Dyson sphere, the sort of technological megastructure physicist Freeman Dyson imagined advanced civilisations might be able to build to harness all the energy from their stars. However, Dyson spheres of the rigid shell variety usually run into problems from being under immense stresses due to the gravitational forces. Even if the sphere isn't ripped apart by this, just a small push certainly would be enough to send the structure crashing into its star.

But Dyson spheres are usually imagined to be the size of the Earth's orbit around the sun. For a much smaller Death Star, most of the problems with the Dyson sphere go away. The 13.2 km diameter reactor core would only require a mass 370 times less than our moon's. It turns out while steel and titanium would just about fail under these conditions, the wonder material graphene, for example, could easily withstand the gravitational forces involved.

And we wouldn't actually need a real star at the centre of the station – the future technology of nuclear fusion could easily provide enough power. While at the moment we tend to put more energy in than we get out in our fusion experiments, many plasma physicists think the key is going bigger and hope that the ITER experiment, which will be one-third of the volume of an Olympic swimming pool, will turn the tide in this regard. If successful, we could expect power from our Death Star up to two million times that consumed by the entire human race.

But there are still problems. The pressures involved inside our Death Star reactor would be immense. The artificial star's own gravity would not be enough to contain the fusion plasma, so we would need something extra. As we've learned from thinking about lightsabers, magnetic fields could provide the solution. The only snag is that we'd need some of the strongest magnetic fields in the universe – a million times greater than we've ever created on Earth and comparable to those of magnetars – a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field.

Back to the drawing board it seems, unless I can get my hands on those plans …

Hugh Rectangular Alien Craft Encounter In Australia

Hugh Rectangular Alien Craft Encounter In Australia

(Before It's News)

article-rectangle-ocean-ken-pfeifer-12-19-16

JANUARY 29, 2000 ……. MUDJIMBA ISLAND QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA

Size: 16 centimetres
Objects: 1  ……..Shape: Rectangle
Colour: Bright white light, with reddish cone tail
Sound: None
Duration: 3.45am to 5.10am
Direction: East Hovering over Mudjimba Island (slightly to the North)

Witnesses:

Pat asked around but no one else has come forward yet, she may ask the local paper to publish her story in the hope that someone else saw it.

Pat, a very well spoken, educated, older lady was staying at the Discovery Beach Resort on the Sunshine Coast (used to be the old Surf Air) on Friday night, 28th January 2000. Her room overlooked the ocean and the hotel was right on the beach.  At about 3.45am on Saturday Morning (29th) Pat woke up from a restless night, (Pat does have trouble sleeping) and saw a very bright light shining through the window of her room, Pat got out of bed and looked out the window and saw this light which Pat describes as 500 times that of a fluorescent light. She was looking out to the East over the ocean, Pat says there is a very small uninhabited island about half a mile out to sea from the resort called MUDJIMBA ISLAND, and the light was just above this Island about 2,000-3,000 feet up and slightly to the North of the Island. The light stayed in the same position and after about a hour. Pat noticed a shape, rectangle, with a reddish cone tail end.

Then some little flashes of light came out the cone looking tail. Pat sat at the window watching this light until 5.10am when it started to move upwards and disappeared.  Pat says she has never seen anything like it before, and would like to know what it was? She has never thought about UFO’s before but it has now made her think about it and want to know more. She is familiar with the stars and says it was not a star.

New Experiments Raise Doubts About Liquid Water on Mars

New Experiments Raise Doubts About Liquid Water on Mars

Remember when NASA told us there’s liquid water on the surface of Mars? Well, that little factoid might be murkier than we thought. Turns out, a set of new lab experiments seeking to recreate the supporting evidence ended up with an unexpected outcome.

Here’s the deal: the original data that suggested there was water on Mars was based off something called recurring slope lineae — dark streaks that appear and vanish seasonally on the walls of various coasters and canyons on the surface of the planet. Follow-up data collected by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter indicated that the RSL sites possessed hydrated salts, which could essentially be explained only by some sort of liquid flow of water originating from some place.

And of course, the presence of water on another planet is phenomenal because it suggests another world might be capable of supporting life, and that future astronauts may be able to use that water as a resource for a extraterrestrial colony.

Now, the origin of that liquid water was unknown — and it’s still unknown today. Why are scientists so sure the source has to be ground based? Michael Meyer, the lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, explained to Inverse during an interview for a previous story this year that the atmosphere of Mars is extremely dry. “If you completely froze out the atmosphere of mars, you would have a 10 micron layer of ice around the planet,” he explains. “That’s less than the width of a sheet of paper! The likelihood these RSL sites were getting their thirst quenched by atmospheric water was low.

But a team of researchers decided to verify whether the salts in the RSL sites really had to be hydrated through surface flow, or whether atmospheric water could have been enough. A pair of University of Colorado, Boulder scientists exposed salts to atmospheric conditions similar to Mars, and found that some of them actually became hydrated solely through atmospheric means.

Those results, presented last week at the American Geophysical Unions annual fall meeting in San Francisco, don’t outright nix the idea that there’s a source of liquid water somewhere on Mars. But they do raise some concerns that will need to be addressed and explored through future experiments.

What would help the most, actually, is to acquire an actual sample of the hydrated salts on Mars and analyze them directly. The problem is that the RSL sites are located in pretty harsh terrain — sending humans in would be a dangerous endeavor, and we don’t yet have the kind of robotic technology that could feasibly go in on its own.

Regardless, the results underscore the fact that while water on Mars is an exciting prospect, we should not get carried away until we have tangible proof of what we’re seeing.

Japan Is Going to Mine the Moon

The moon might not have a lot of resources, but it does have water.

Japan Is Going to Mine the Moon

The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced Friday that it will begin working with a private lunar robotics exploration company to mine for resources on the moon. The Tokyo-based ispace Inc. should help facilitate Japan’s (somewhat late) entry into the rapidly growing and potentially lucrative field of space mining.

Space mining sounds like a fun but made-up occupation set in the dystopian future, sort of like space archaeologist (real) or space cowboy (less real). But this is far from so — space mining is quickly becoming a ring into which multiple nations and space entities are tossing their respective hats. Luxembourg, for instance, has a head start on Japan here, and the United States already introduced “finders-keepers” legislation for resources recovered from space mining more than a year ago.

Space-resource development is garnering attention around the world now,” ispace CEO Takeshi Hakamada told The Wall Street Journal. “It’s very important that we work to commercialize and create rules while we still have a technological advantage globally.”

If you thought the moon was a barren place bereft of any resources international space agencies would actually be interested in, you’re still sort of right. But since the moon has water it has, by extension, oxygen and hydrogen we could convert to fuel to help reduce costs of future missions. One of the biggest implications from the U.S.’s own SPACE Act in 2015 2015 was the ability to mine water — if we can pick up rocket fuel in space when missions run low rather than having to return home, that’s an obvious milestone to advance the feasibility of deep-space travel. There are potentially billions of tons of water below the moon’s surface, and NASA as well as a host of private operations are busying themselves with the scientific and legal processes of extracting it. The moon may be boring, according to some, or at least not nearly as interesting as Mars, but it has potential as a kind of spacial gas station; Japan is merely the latest in a string of countries to act on that.

Mysterie rond ‘het Stonehenge van de Amazone’

Mysterie rond 'het Stonehenge van de Amazone'

Mysterie rond ‘het Stonehenge van de Amazone’

De Braziliaanse jungle heeft nog lang niet al haar geheimen prijsgegeven. Lailson Camelo da Silva stuitte in het land op ‘het Stonehenge van de Amazone’, schrijft de New York Times.

Wetenschappers ontdekten tegen het eind van de 19e eeuw al enorme granieten blokken in de vorm van een cirkel in Rego Grande in de staat Amapá, maar ze schonken er verder weinig aandacht aan.

Sommige van de in totaal 127 blokken zijn bijna drie meter hoog.

Heilige plek

Oud-voorman Da Silva vond de stenen voor het eerst in de jaren zestig, toen hij aan het jagen was.

Hij bezocht ze opnieuw in de jaren negentig toen hij betrokken was bij de houtkap in het gebied. Hij bleef bewust 30 jaar uit de buurt bij de steencirkel.

“Het voelde als een heilige plek, alsof we daar niet hoorden te zijn,” zei hij.

Sterrenwacht

Enkele jaren geleden kregen Braziliaanse archeologen toestemming om de stenen te bestuderen.

De experts hebben de structuren gedateerd op 1000 jaar oud en zeggen dat ze zijn opgezet als een sterrenwacht.

Haaks

De vondst lijkt haaks te staan op eerdere theorieën dat er in de oudheid op een enkele nomadische stam na geen mensen in de regio leefden.

De experts zeggen dat er meer onderzoek nodig is om te kunnen vaststellen of de stenen daadwerkelijk werden gebruikt voor astronomische waarnemingen.

Triangle UFO close encounter reported over Ohio

An Ohio witness at Springfield reported a close encounter with a “gigantic, triangular UFO,” according to testimony in Case 80785 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving along Highway 2-75 approaching Columbus when lights in the sky were first seen at 10 p.m. on November 29, 2016.

“The colored lights were white, green, and red at the time and it looked kind of cylinder-like,” the witness stated.“When I saw it, I immediately thought UFO, as I usually do if it’s not during the day. As we were getting closer to the object, it was getting larger obviously, but it didn’t look like a cylinder anymore. At this point it was starting to look like an airplane because it took more of a triangular shape.”

The object was massive in size from the witness perspective.

“Now it was huge, and no longer looked like an airplane because of its massive size and obvious triangular shape.”

The witness attempted to capture the object with a cell phone.

“I start taking snapchat videos and sending them to my friends without saving them. Now it’s so huge I have absolutely no idea what’s going on and all of a sudden it kind of turned a little bit like a plane does and then it went back to its normal, straight position.”

The witness thought that the object might be a plane crashing.

“And I’m thinking, ‘maybe it’s a plane crashing,’ because we were also near the Wright Patterson Air Force Base and I start hyperventilating and just absolutely freak out and thinking I was going to die. And then I somehow calm down and see that this thing is a freaking UFO and it’s ‘ginormous’ and I just witnessed it, but we passed it in a flash and I couldn’t see it out of my window anymore.”

The witness described the object.

“Blackish gray base with red lights somewhere on it. And on the three corners there were three white lights. And although I didn’t save any of the videos I took, my friend screenshotted a part of it and sent it back to me. This picture is from an IPhone 6S and we weren’t at the closest point, but we weren’t at the furthest point from the object.”

The witness included one image with the report, which was filed on December 4, 2016. Ohio MUFON Chief Investigator Ron McGlone is investigating. Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

This is a fantastic catch. A wingless craft moves across a perfectly blue sky. The craft looks like a rocket, but has no contrail and moves way too slow to be a rocket. About 6X too slow. Its also not a meteorite, because of its speed which is about 10-15X too slow. It is an unidentified flying object. In every sense of the word, this is a UFO. I would be deeply interested in the flight data and radar records for Fairborn if that were at all possible.

Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:
I was at Maplewood Park in Fairborn, Ohio with my girl friend on the swings. I looked up and saw a shiny, pill shaped UFO fly overhead. It was completely silent and looked like it was really high in the air. I thought it was really odd to see an object flying so high in the air, not making any noise, and it was metallic. So I pulled out my cell and started recording right away. It went straight, at a steady pace, looked like it was floating across the sky. My girl friend and I just watched it and kept swinging. I'm not sure what I saw that day, maybe it was a satellite or a blimp. It makes me wonder because I was only a couple miles away from Wright-Patt Air Force Base. I lost sight of the object when it flew out of distance and on the other side of the tree.

This triangle UFO was seen over West Virginia in Sept, but was reported this week. The video shows a TR3B type craft that is not fully powered up. When a TR3B craft is powered, the center orb will glow the brightest, but here the center orb it there, but dark. If this is a TR3B, then its has a higher chance of being a new pilot from the USAF learning to handle the alien tech craft at night so the public doesn't see it flying about, but since it lights up like a christmas tree at night...that is actually a foolish assumption. I will put a TR3B video below to compare. It was sent to me in 2010 from a military guy in France, before fakes were being made. 

Scott C. Waring 

Eyewitness states: 

Thank you for reviewing this case. I am also a MUFON member. Please do not dismiss due to the sound on this video, I will explain this odd event, I did not want to modify the video in any way to make it not credible. In September a week or 2 after coming back from Las Vegas Nevada my fiance and I experienced alot of bizarre events. During our trip to Las Vegas, being interested in the truth in EBE's we drove out to Rachel Nevada, visiting the "black mailbox" I left behind an old student id card (not valid with an old address) after visiting the black mailbox we continued on our way to the back entrance of Area 51 and got as close to the gate as lawfully possible. As we walked to the gate jokingly I said to my fiance, little do they know that we know the truth. We then came back to WV and just a week or 2 after our trip. My fiance was on the back porch at night (approx time at top) she saw these very low triangular orb set glide across the sky, she then yelled for me to come out. I can describe the object or objects too low to be an airplane and absolutely silent to be a helicopter.
Usually helicopters have red flashing or white flashing lights. This was just 3,4 or 5 solid white lights in complete silence. They orbs did not hang around too much and the video was a last second record, so its a bit shaky. The orbs slowly disapeared behind a wooded area, twords the end you may think the lights are flashing but its just the lights shining in and out of trees. *****NOW let me explain the sound*****, after we got done recording it I decided to upload it to facebook and after uploading it to facebook, because I like to educate the public best of my knowledge, for some odd reason, facebook added this most bizarre sound i've ever heard.
Facebook can't integrate sound into videos you upload.. My fiance and I are very serious on this topic so neither of us would be so arrogant to crack a joke. To this day I still cannot figure out how the audio got added to it or why, to make it a bit more credible, i'm a Systems Engineer, I live, eat, breathe technology. Some unrelated bizarre happenings few days later after seeing this UFO, for 1 day and 1 day only, talking on the phone with my fiance, almost seemed like some staticy noise with odd sounds in the background, almost like two phone lines crossed over like the old cordless phones. We were using cellphones. It never happened again after that day... I feel like (not being paranoid) I was being profiled some how and some way by the ID I left back at the black mailbox.. If you have any questions please let me know, i'm happy to help disclose the truth to better mankind.

Filer’s Files #51 2016 Castro Saw UFOs

ff51.gif

In special reports, this week’s files cover: Fidel Castro, Extraterrestrial Evolution, and Climate Change?

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Indiana, Illinois,  Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Vermont and Washington.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Canada, Columbia, Germany, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles, and England and Scotland, in the United Kingdom.

The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The US Air Force investigated UFOs publicly for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

FIDEL CASTRO’S ALIEN CRAFT SIGHTING IN CUBA

Fidel Castro who passed away on November 25, 2016 orchestrated the Cuban Revolution and was the head of Cuba’s government until 2008.   In an interview, Castro shed light on unforgettable scenarios that were witnessed by him and the revolutionary Cuban soldiers. The interview caught the attention of many UFO enthusiasts as Castro maintained that he saw a “round and enormous” light from an extra-terrestrial spaceship.  Castro said, “There we were, in the middle of the night with our rifles on our knees. Then we suddenly saw a light darting among the stars. The light approached the group of commanders and poured over us like a bucket.”  Based on the historic Cuban revolution icon, the sighting must have occurred between 1953 and 1959 as these six years were dedicated to the momentous Cuban insurgency.  He told researcher Jose Luis Gil, “It was round and enormous. The countryside and the mountains became illuminated as though it was daylight.”  Keeping in view how distinguished and celebrated personality Fidel Castro is, the claims fascinated most of the enthusiasts who are constantly searching for the presence of alien clues. The jaw-dropping claim has reconfirmed the extraterrestrial presence of UFO in the universe.  The interview was published in a book titled “Solo Para Tus Ojos“, or “For Your Eyes Only” in English, by well-known UFO researcher and journalist Juan Jose Benitez,  The book has been published in order to take account of the increasing UFO sighting incidents and contains interviews with 300 people, including the famous Cuban leader.  Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.orgwww.ufocasebook.com

Depiction of Meteor Crashing into the Gulf of Mexico in the late Cretaceous Period.

 

Fahrusha a co-host of “Shattered Reality Podcast writes, “Extraterrestrial evolution is a topic of great interest to me in a number of ways. The thought of this may be bizarre to many people, but perhaps it shouldn’t be. There are four factors that come immediately to mind.

There are probably billions of planets in our Milky Way Galaxy and quadrillions in other telescopically visible galaxies. Scientists disagree on how many of these other worlds might generate life, but few think we are alone. Even the Vatican is very open to the concept of extraterrestrial intelligent beings.

Some great cosmological thinkers have posited the idea of Panspermia, including Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe and the late Sir Fred Hoyle (1915–2001). Panspermia is defined by Google as the theory that life on Earth originated from microorganisms or chemical precursors of life present in outer space which were able to initiate life upon reaching a suitable environment. Today a scientist in the UK named Professor Milton Wainwright is sending up balloons to the stratosphere to discover microbial life from space. Think spores traveling on comets etc.

Though it seems to me that much evidence points to the idea that Earth has been visited multiple times by extraterrestrials, thoughts and theories about extraterrestrial evolution do not depend for their validity on extraterrestrial visitation.

The fourth factor is an open question: Would such life follow a set pattern similar to life on Earth, or would extraterrestrial evolution take an entirely different path or could both ideas be true?

This blog post will deal mostly with this fourth factor, that is, the open question. It has been both rumored and openly stated that NASA and JPL have quashed reports and evidence of life on Mars and other spheres. Most prominently I think of assertions made by Dr. John Brandenburg, formerly of NASA, about advanced life on Mars; and of evidence of certain findings of primitive organisms (crinoids) visually identical to Earth organisms discovered by Dr. Richard Hoover, 46 year veteran NASA astrobiologist and “Inventor of the Year”.

In fact, I wrote a blog post about that a few years ago that can be accessed HERE. This is particularly important to the rest of my thinking on this subject of extraterrestrial evolution.

If the organism found by JPL on Mars is, in actuality, largely identical to those found on Earth, it seems to point to the idea that extraterrestrial life might always or often evolve in the same or similar manner. One frequently discussed concept that follows in this direction is the controversial idea that some extraterrestrials who have purportedly visited the Earth are Reptilians. The theory goes something like this: if the dinosaurs who once inhabited the Earth were not killed off by a comet or large meteor which struck the Gulf of Mexico at end of the Cretaceous Period, would they have perhaps evolved into self conscious bipedal beings who might roam the galaxy? And if so, is it not possible or indeed likely that on other suitable planets in the galaxy or beyond such Reptilians might exist, if in fact, evolution follows a similar model everywhere? In this discussion somewhere, one must consider non-human very intelligent life forms right here on Earth that have not developed with bi-lateral symmetry. I am thinking here of cephalopods like squid. That might derail the similar evolution everywhere theory as the sole way life could evolve.

Fahrusha

On the other hand, is it possible or likely that evolution throughout the cosmos looks nothing like Earthly evolution? I’d say certainly that is possible and in certain circumstances probable. One probable circumstance resulting in a different evolutionary pattern might be an environment where the building blocks of life are not carbon based or not dependent on water or oxygen. Dear Reader, does your definition of “life” depend on breathing or respiration? Furthermore, should it? Perhaps consciousness is a better definition of life than taking breath.

But are these ideas of evolution in the cosmos mutually exclusive? I don’t think so. Ponder this: perhaps life develops in a similar evolutionary pattern where carbon and water are available, and totally differently where they are not. I am not stating conclusively that this is the case, but it certainly provides food, no a feast, for thought? Thanks to Fahrusha https://fahrusha.wordpress.com/…/extraterrestrial-evolution/

Conversation with Senator Barry M. Goldwater

Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, Kennedy Space Center (KSC), writes, “On July 16, 1969, the day of the launch of Apollo 11 for the first landing of men on the moon, I met Senator Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona near the Apollo Launch Control Center. He had been the Republican Presidential candidate in 1964 running against President Johnson. He had flown 160 plus planes during his WW II and civilian years. He even checked-out in a SR-71 Blackbird. I introduced myself and explained my position at KSC and my being the NICAP Unit-3 Director. He was willing to discuss UFOs and I began by saying it was obvious he had a deep abiding interest in UFOs. I knew he had tried to gain entry into a special area at Wright-Patterson AFB that purportedly held alien artifacts. He said, “Yes, that’s the main event concerning me and UFOs. I felt that a US Senator on the Select Committee on Intelligence and a Reserve Major General would allow me to enter the area. I was rudely awakened to reality very swiftly when I was denied entry. My friend, General Curtis Lemay, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff VERY angrily told me that I had no need to know. He gave me a lot of HELL about my activities at Wright-Patterson. He threatened to end our friendship for life! My God, Mac, that surprised the hell out of me.”

General LeMay

LeMay added, “You stay clear of our mutual friend, “Butch”, too. (Meaning General William “Butch” Blanchard) his having been at Roswell Army Air Base and the 509th Bomb Wing, will not gain you any favor or knowledge of that Roswell crash claim.” Goldwater said, “Mac, Butch Blanchard was also a very valued friend of mine since WWII. He was the person who announced that a disc had crashed near Roswell in 1947. This cussing out did awaken me to one fact, that the UFO situation is the highest level of national secrecy, much higher than the H-Bomb. Nothing has higher security than aliens being here on this planet. Then I realized Curtis was correct. And I never again approached him on the subject. That seemed to prove to me that UFOs were a fact, and do exist. But, are they all aliens? I highly suspect a majority are! Hell, they are no doubt far ahead of our level of intelligence. The United States Air Force knows the truth, but will they ever reveal it to this nation?” I quickly said, “Yes, Senator, some UFOs sighted I have learned through the ONI are alien.” His eyes brightened up and showed surprise saying, “Mac how would you know that as a fact and I was denied the truth?” I said “Senator, I was here, at KSC, and had also been at Cape Canaveral since the start of our national space program. With all due respect for your great accomplishments, Sir, you were not. I’ve heard and seen things that without any doubt proved to me that UFO’s and star races exist.” I said, “Congress is not made aware of secrets of this caliber. The Pentagon controls such disclosures”. He stared at me, and then said: “Yes, I get your point.

I asked him if he was at that time aware of the fact that several former German Scientists were assigned to Wright Field since post-reversed engineer certain retrieved hardware that was suspected to be of alien origin.

They accomplished that assignment of the object that crashed in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. It was taken to Wright Field. Senator Goldwater said, “Yes, I recall that incident. What was it? Do you know?” I replied, “Yes, sir, it was a Soviet failed mission to Venus in 1965. It was not alien, Senator. The public was lead to believe it was a UFO that is far easier to explain than a missile from the USSR hitting within the USA”.

 

Siegfried Knemeyer with Knights Crossing

Goldwater asked if I was aware of whom the Germans were? I replied, “Yes, one was Siegfried Knemeyer, the former head of the German RLM, the Third Reich’s Air Ministry for aircraft development for the Luftwaffe. Another was Dr. Hans Amtmann, an expert in vertical takeoff aircraft. One other I am familiar is Dr. Alexander Lippisch who was more so well known and a pioneer in tailless aircraft, the US Delta wing fighter, the F-102 A Delta Dagger. I’m almost certain these men also did a reverse engineering on the object that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico”. I could see that what I was telling the Senator may have had his mind in a spin. He said, “Mac, what are you doing here? We need people like you in DC”. The narrative will continue. Thanks to Clark C. McClelland http://www.stargate-chronicles.com/site/

Climate Change?

December 14- 15, 2016 map showing latest Polar Vortex.

Global cooling was a conjecture during the 1970s of the imminent cooling of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere culminating in a period of extensive glaciations. In the 1990’s, climate scientists indicated there is Global Warming and the polar ice was melting and billions have been spent to slow this warming. During the last year the Global Warming developed the new title of Climate Change. Climate change skeptics claim the latest El Nino, which began in 2015, was the reason for that year being the hottest on record, rather than man-made carbon emissions causing long-term global warming.

Science is divided over whether climate change from man-made carbon emissions have heated the planet enough to mean that unnatural global warming also contributed to the record temperatures seen during the El Nino in 2015 and the first half of this year. Dr Gavin Schmidt, head of Naas’s climate division, says human-caused global warming is the primary factor.

Other scientists feel there is climate change, but the temperatures are heading down. They point to this week’s coldest temperatures in twenty years. The news media tells you what they want you to believe. It’s important to look at both sides of the argument.

Dark Winter

Mr. John L. Casey, Director of the Space and Science Research Center, issued a landmark declaration on climate change. “Climate change has been a perplexing problem for years. In Dark Winter, author John L. Casey, a former White House national space policy advisor, NASA headquarters consultant, and space shuttle engineer tells the truth about ominous changes taking place in the climate and the Sun. Casey believes Global Warming Has Ended.  After an exhaustive review of a substantial body of climate research, and in conjunction with the obvious and compelling new evidence that exists, it is time that the world community acknowledges that the Earth has begun its next climate change. In an opinion echoed by many scientists around the world, the world’s climate warming of the past decades has now come to an end. A new climate era has already started that is bringing predominantly colder global temperatures for many years into the future. In some years this new climate will create dangerously cold weather with significant ill-effects worldwide.

Casey claims the cold era is coming about as a result of the reversal of the 206 year cycle of the sun which he independently discovered several years ago. We now have unmistakable signs of a decline in global temperatures and growing glacial ice, coupled with the dramatic if not startling changes in the sun’s surface including unusually low and slow sunspot activity. . Noted Russian astrophysicist Habibullo I. Abdussamatov has also argued that a new mini-ice age has begun,

Casey claims. “Our world is rapidly cooling. Even though we still may have isolated warm temperature records, the global trend to a colder era is now irreversible.” Casey congratulated the many other scientists around the world who had done “many years of outstanding research” which he used to corroborate his own research after he first found these climate-driving solar cycles. He listed and praised more than a dozen other scientists, most in foreign countries, who had come to the same prediction on the Earth’s climate shift to a cold era. He said, “I have consulted with colleague’s world wide who have reached a similar conclusion.

Casey detailed the solar activity cycles that have been driving the Earth’s climate for the past 1,200 years. He condemned the climate change confusion and alarmism which has accompanied seven separate periods over the past 100 years, where scientists and the media flip-flopped on reporting that the Earth was either entering a new ‘ice age’ or headed for a global meltdown where melting glacial ice would swamp the planet’s coastal cities. The sun is entering an extended “quiet period’ produced by reduced solar activity as shown in the chart.

“With the sun going into what I call “solar hibernation,” the earth will cool. And the harmful effects of solar radiation on astronauts in space will be minimized.” I can see,” he added, “just like the last time this 206 year cycle brought cold, that there will be substantial damage to the world’s agricultural systems. Climate during the Ice Age (the last 4 million years) has been particularly unstable, with many swings of more than 10°F.

The most important lessons drawn from geology are that the earth’s climate can change radically and that the pace of change can be rapid. Geology also supports the theory that past periods of especially warm temperature were caused by high atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Of the many effects of global warming, geology is currently most relevant to sea level rise caused by melting glaciers.

 “In fact, a very slight cooling trend appears.” Watts’ plotting of U.S. Surface Climate Observing Reference Networks (USCRN) data comes after NOAA researchers put out a study claiming there’s been no “hiatus” in global warming–despite a 15-year period with no significant rise in the world’s average temperature as of June 15, 2015. Judah Cohen, a renowned MIT climatologist, has been working on his theory for 17 years, despite skepticism from some U.S. government weather experts. Cohen, who figures the exceptional amount of snow cover this year in Siberia at this time, will bring the makings of  be one an early, cold winter. His theory has been right 75 percent of the time.

NOAA reports, the combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for September 2016 was the second highest for September in the 137-year record,  0.04°C (0.07°F) cooler than the record warmth of 2015. It now appears December may be one of the coldest on record.

As I write these files it is snowing earlier than I can remember in southern New Jersey. Although the summer months are warmer the winter has extreme cold temperatures. The Polar Vortex or winds around the pole have moved south and are causing colder weather in Europe, Asia, and North America affecting millions of people. Expect more snow and cold temperatures mush later in February and March particularly in Europe.

Did you know that in the past the Roman Period and Medieval Period were both warmer than today. The world then cooled several degrees from 1450 to 1850. This period was called the Little Ice Age (a period of glacial advance, the same glaciers that have been in retreat until recently). Global temperatures the past 10,000 years were also often warmer than today. These temperature variations were not caused by man. They were caused entirely by natural forces. Climatologists disagree and the news media has usual is agreeing with the Global Warming group, but expect a cold winter.

UFO Sightings in the United States

California Object

Porter Ranch — I must first apologize that while I always used to preach I’d have a steady hand if I ever saw something, I kept losing this thing on my camera and tried to refocus. But, I did get some good shots at the beginning and the end. This video was taken by me on November 28, 2016 around 4 pm. I pulled up home from work and noticed three planes at one time releasing chemtrails in all directions… I got out of my car after taking footage of one of the planes and noticed this glowing white orb or craft that was flying in and out of the trails. The beginning of the video and the end has the best focused shot but my camera just wouldn’t zoom anymore. After I lost it in the trails I waited expecting to see it come out the other side and it never appeared again. I mean planes don’t do that, right?  Thanks to MUFON CMS

 

Los Angeles — Was watching the news when I saw something weird fly by on December 12, 2016.

I kept watching and can’t figure out what it is.

It was the abc News at 4:30 am. I have it on my DVR also.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Florida Lights

West Palm Beach — I was drinking coffee on the balcony of my resort at 6:30 am on April 20, 2016.
I was looking through photos of our trips when I discovered two objects in one of the photos and then just one object in the next photo.
I believed the objects to be UFOs,
which I took that morning. After seeing the objects in my photos, I had chills all over me and could not believe I actually had captured them in two photos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Idaho Disc

Pocatello — I am a UFO photographer, and have taken pictures of everything from discs to triangles to ET. I have been totally fascinated with the amount of activity in the skies here, that I call Micro Machines. I can prove all of it; since I’ve been photographing them pretty steady for more than 5 years; I will leave a couple pictures in this letter for you. I have been doing my best to get the word out about these objects with not much luck. It seems that most people are asleep at the switch. During the day I get pictures of many different types of craft, but at night I get a totally different experience. I photograph and video these white light spheres that move over town very slowly, from a thousand feet up to 10 miles.

I call them Micro Machines because they are not organic; they are some kind of an Artificial Intelligence (Ai) probe. George Adamski back in the 1950’s, that our skies were flooded with these probes that ranged in size from a few centimeters to a few meters, I have photographed them all.
I set up a tripod with my camera set to high speed continuous shutter and I would rip off about 20 frames at a time in different directions. I would notice these little objects moving through the frames at a pretty high rate of speed, on the computer. I was able to establish
areas where they would be more often than not. Soon I would get better cameras and lenses. I am going out 5 and 6 times a day and catching these objects.
When I photograph a bird of prey flying over fields there will be dozens of these objects flying all around the birds monitoring the wild life. I am using a Nikon D800 w/ 50mm f1.4 lens and at night I put on a 300 mm lens.

I call them Ai because I am positive they are not manmade. These little craft can cover 150 yards in one second and are watching everything that is going on. Winter months bring on orbs Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Triangle of Lights

Chicago Heights — My girlfriend and I were picking her kid up in Frankfort, IL, and started heading north on Laraway Road on December 13, 2016.  It was a full moon and when we observed five orange lights near each other in the east. We thought to ourselves those “planes” are really close to each other, but  planes don’t fly that close to each other. On our way home we couldn’t stop gazing upon the lights. Then one light flew north and another to the south. Then there were three left that we thought might be Chinese lanterns but they were moving against the wind. We hit Route 30 and headed east traveling toward the lights and ended up 10 miles past Chicago Heights. The lights formed a triangle keeping perfect distance from each other moving slowly. We turned around and heading west and could still see the three lights again until the lights slowly disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maryland Disc

 

Baltimore — I discovered the object in two pictures I took on August 20, 2015 at 03:41 pm, according to the data on my phone. In the first photo the picture is tiny – barely noticeable – and flying to the south.

In the second picture the same object is visible much lower and larger, looking pretty much due east. (Shown)

Whatever it is it moved a great distance within one minute. I was reviewing the old pictures on December 14, 2016 and noticed the object.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Light

Chelsea – I was outside my house looking towards sky at
a star on August 1, 2016.

It was moving unlike any plane or helicopter. It was fast then it was going slow. I felt like it wasn’t real.

Then it suddenly disappeared.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Michigan Object

I took pictures at the beach and found a UFO while perusing our photos on August 23, 2016.

I can’t tell what it was; I’ve never seen an object like it. I didn’t even see anything while we were at the beach, only later. Looks like a metallic object that I don’t think could be a camera glitch. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Editor’s Note: This is likely a bird in flight but wings are unusually short.

New Jersey UFO

Marlton — I was smoking a cigarette in a location off of Route. 70, on December 10, 2016 when I heard what sounded like a military helicopter in the distance. I moved to get a clear view of the sky because I wanted to see it. It sounded extremely close and I could feel the power, and vibrations.  So finally it comes into view and it was hard to make out. There was a red orb in the front, with the chopper in the back. At first I thought it may be top secret military craft with cloaking or reflection or something of the sort. It was hard to make out in the night sky it being a black helicopter and all. When I focused in on it, I could make out a red/oranges orb shape which looked like it was glowing, producing and aura, and the helicopter 400 feet behind it. It was hard to make out and get a grasp with surroundings because it all happened so fast. They were both flying in a straight path at high speed.

I had to run around the corner to keep eye sight until it went over the tree line out of sight. My father came out because he heard the chopper and came to check it out and grab something out of the car. When he tried to lock it, he hit the lock button three times but the car was still unlocked, so it may have messed with the electrical system. Also take note Fort Dix and McGuire AFB are nearby. Ten years ago and last summer I saw a UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Lights

 

Brooklyn — This was taken from a bus that was moving very slowly during a tour on December 5, 2016. I used my iPhone when I took the photos. I only took a photo of this because I knew what the building was, but was not mentioned by the tour guide so there would probably not be others taking photos.

I saw the light after the fact when I was looking at my photos. If anyone has the knowledge to judge if this is a reflection, I would welcome that.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Oklahoma Light

Edmond — On November 21, 2015

  1. Looked up
  2. Weird looking object.
    4. It was Round and I had unknown feelings.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Vermont Objects

South Burlington — While smoking a cigarette at work around 6 am I took picture of the Moon on December 14, 2016.

There were no stars out nor did I see a plane, but it was a little cloudy. I did not see anything unusual at all until I looked at the photo and realized instantly something was there.  I kept looking at the sky and could not see it.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Light

Stevens Pass — After a day of skiing on December 12, 2016, I was staying the night at the ski resort with some friends. Around 7:00 p.m, I tried my best to get a picture with my phone that captured the whole scene. After snapping a couple photos, I first noticed the object in the screen of my phone.
The object first appeared as a blotch of white light in the screen of my phone. It seemed like a morphing light ball with a bright core surrounded by a duller light and was very fluid yet erratic in its movements. I would say the core was the size of a large grapefruit and the outer layer the size of a beach ball. It was like a luminescent aerial jellyfish. The object first appeared in the sky around the trees and moved toward us. It came as close as the clock tower and could I only see the outer dull light, but the inner bright sphere was still visible in the screen of my phone. With my bare eyes the object was not very noticeable. It was glowing even brighter than what was captured by the camera. At one point most of my screen went white and I stood up and focused on the object as it shot off to the trees behind the lodge, paused for two seconds and then shot off over Big Chief Mountain at impossible speed and was gone. Likely unrelated, we did see multiple F/A-18 or F15s jets flying at low altitude over the resort the following morning. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Cylinder

Sydney — On October 11, 2016, I was outdoors working in the yard, when I became aware of an object in the sky which was at great height, it was also star bright against the blue of a perfectly clear midday. At first I was inclined to dismiss the anomaly as a plastic bag or balloon, as it seemed to be floating with airy swoops. I could see that it was cylindrical and was moving against the wind from east to west. A number of strange things happened during my observation as all the birds fell silent; just as they do in the presence of a predator. The other interesting thing was that the anomaly seemed to respond directly to my thoughts (I know that this is a preposterous suggestion and that its subsequent change of direction was purely coincidence) – but twice it seemed to react to my thoughts. the first time I thought “come this way you bugger, so that I can get a better look at you!” and to my surprise, it changed its direction from heading west and then arced toward me in the north east, again traveling end over end (almost like a boomerang) and then when it was directly overhead, I thought “stop…So that I can see you better.” and to my surprise, it did. Still it was very high and it appeared to be being mobbed by white birds, small white dots were swooping in toward and then away from it. Despite the wind, it remained stationary. It then tumbled away leaf like toward the east and was soon lost from sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Cylinder

Abbotsford, British Columbia, — I have here a couple of photos taken December 6, 2016 of two objects in the southeast sky. They were heading east over Mount Baker in Washington State at 7:50 AM. I took these photos on the Canadian side of the border. When I saw them I thought they were American Bombers coming from Alaska, but I realized they were heading the wrong way or on a different heading that they normally fly back to Idaho or North Dakota. This is a daily occurrence so I am well versed in their flight path. The other thing that struck me was that there was no visible vapor trail which every jet trails at high altitude. As a comparison I am including two photos that I took this morning same place, same time, and same direction of travel. The other difference is the plane was visible for minutes as it flew away from me, but the two objects yesterday were gone right after I took the photo.

Note: The witness presented an argument that the object photographed was not a conventional military craft as he is used to seeing them on a regular basis. He mentions that the object did not leave a vapor trail. Enhancement does show a trail behind the object. However, the witness stated that the object disappeared. Given this scenario the jet explanation is more doubtful. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Colombia Diamond

Bucaramanga — I was around the pool of my hotel taking sun on December 11, 2016, a sunny, clear day when I saw something in the sky. My friend who was beside me saw it too. Our first impression was a paraglider but my friend said, “It can’t be because it was very high and the shape does not look like that. It was moving slow and looks like it’s hovering over the city. I took my camera and focused on the object. It was heading north and was moving fast. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Germany Round Object

Dresden — I have a 1680 book of the history of Dresden, Germany. There is a description of three objects that appeared in the sky in 1620. There was an apparent exchange of light rays and smoke and noise between the larger round object and the two smaller round ones on either side. The population who witnessed this was quite frightened. The objects remained for many hours and then disappeared. I can send you a copy of this page and my translation of the German article, if you like. Bernd Klopfer the date of the event above is invalid but you required a date and I couldn’t enter the correct date. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

India Light

Nagpur — I didn’t notice it while talking photos.

I observed this when I went through photos on December 12, 2016.

A blue orb is below the moon.

Often the lenses reflect the bright light. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Iran Light

 Mashhad — As shown in the attached image, an unknown white light, which was like a very large star, was visible in the mountains of Mashhad between 17:30 to 18:25 on December 13, 2016.

I watched it for fifty five minutes last night, and then it disappeared.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mexico Light

Mazatlan — I was working on a bricked outdoor structure with mud making bricks. It was 3 or 4 in the morning when a co-worker told me, “Look José I see a trail of light passing over the hill illuminating like day.” What really shone was the golden color smoke left in its wake. When it crashed there was a solid metal thud like a giant hammer hitting a giant nail. I viewed a big flash and heard the sound. It all happened in about 10 seconds on February 22, 1997, at a distance of 7 km or so from where I was working. I saw something like a flash with my own eyes. The years passed and technology reached us and I checked Google Earth and I could not believe it was UFO that crashed and next year celebrates 20 years. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Netherlands Antilles

I was in my house going upstairs to my room to dress on December 8, 2016 and looked out my l large window and saw an object above our bank and it stayed there motionless. Then I realized it was slowly moving to the right and then slowly to the left. I was about to get my binoculars when it moved straight to the right until I couldn’t see it anymore.

I was shocked and baffled because I’m sure as hell it’s the same one I’ve seen many months ago but it’s movement was different, before it moved fast like a drunk person in all types of directions then vanished but this time was different and I actually have video tape proof of it this time, I was pretty scared of what they are capable of since they can see and hear me from where they are

I called my mom who also a witness was bringing the binoculars. Then it started moving all the way to the right which spooked me out. I lost sight of it but I’m also more paranoid now. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Lights

Moon — I was trying out my new camera, and love astronomy, so took a few pictures of the moon. Later, after looking at the pictures, I see two strange lights below the moon.

I don’t know what to make of them, but they look out-of-place. I was in my back garden in the UK, and it was dark here.
The lights are small, so I could not make out any detail. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK Scotland

Glasgow — I was out playing with my kids on a nice summer evening. My daughter noticed a strange rainbow, it was not curved like a usual rainbow instead it was a blob of couloirs in the sky on August 18, 2016. I took a picture and then noticed there was an object in the picture, an orb with 4 lights. I then pointed my phone at the object I could now see in the sky. I zoomed in and took another picture and noticed the lights had changed. I thought the object looked quite strange it seemed to emit a yellowish glow. I watched for another few minutes until it faded from sight travelling in a North Easterly direction. This was at 7:46 pm. It lasted for perhaps 20 minutes. Please zoom in on the photo for a clearer picture. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Monster asteroids twice the size of London Eye hurtling towards Earth THIS WEEK

Monster asteroids twice the size of London Eye hurtling towards Earth THIS WEEK

MONSTER asteroids twice the size of the London Eye are on a collision course with Earth – THIS WEEK.

By Jess Bell 

Four asteroids are heading for earth this week

GETTY

WARNING: Four asteroids are heading near Earth this week

The four huge space rocks are expected to make a "close approach" to our planet on Wednesday as they miss Earth by around 1.5million miles.

Scientists say they're not worried about the asteroids hurtling towards humanity at a mind-boggling eight miles per second.

The biggest of the four is 853ft across — twice the height of the London Eye.

whale at 46 metres wide.

Planetary scientist Dr Detlef Koschny said the biggest asteroid would cause "quite some damage" if it smashed into Earth.

She said it is "very rare" to see four Near-Earth Asteroids (NEA) occur on the same day.

"I don't remember that this has ever happened before," she told MailOnline.

It comes as science boffs warned we are totally unprepared for for an asteroid that is set to kill us all.

NASA researcher Dr Joseph Nuth warned humanity would be wiped out if an asteroid collided with Earth.

He said: "The biggest problem, basically, is there's not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment."

The space agency regularly records and tracks asteroids heading for Earth with the latest technology.

NASA launched its first ever robotic mission to visit the largest asteroid close to home and divert its path.

Shock claim: Roswell UFO mystery 'will be solved in MONTHS’

Shock claim: Roswell UFO mystery 'will be solved in MONTHS’

THE mysterious Roswell UFO crash will be solved by July, a former Ministry of Defence investigator has sensationally claimed.

By Douglas Patient 

It is still not known what happened at Roswell in New Mexico

GETTY/YOUTUBE

MYSTERY: It is still not known what happened at Roswell in New Mexico

The infamous event will reach its 70th anniversary in 2017 and Nick Pope, who investigated UFO phenomena for the UK MoD until 2009, says he believes the truth is out there.

Roswell Daily Record newspaper reported in 1947 that an alien spacecraft crashed in the New Mexico desert.

A press release was sent out by the military that it had found the remains of a crashed flying saucer but the next day it backtracked.

DEBRIS: A US Major with the remains of what conspiracy theorists believe is an alien spaceship

It was instead claimed to be a damaged US Air Force air balloon and many believe this was a cover-up.

People reported seeing alien bodies within the UFO which were taken away by authorities.

This comes as a witness to "Britain's Roswell" spoke out after nearly 40 years.

“As every citizen of Roswell knows, the city is at the centre of one of the greatest mysteries of all time”

Nick Pope

Mr Pope said on his blog: "As every citizen of Roswell knows, the city is at the centre of one of the greatest mysteries of all time.

"In 1947, something crashed in the New Mexico desert and was taken to Roswell Army Air Field — now the Roswell International Air Center."

He added: "As we approach the 70th anniversary of this much-debated incident, the Roswell Daily Record is launching a campaign to resolve the mystery for once and for all.

"While people argue to this day about what happened at Roswell in the summer of 1947, nobody disputes that something crashed.

“That’s because far from denying this, the military authorities actually helped get the story out — at least at first."

This is where the mysterious crash happenedGETTY

CRASH SITE: This is where the mysterious crash took place in New Mexico

Many believe the mystery will never be solved but Pope is determined.

He added: "70 years on, is there any hope of solving the mystery?

"I think there is. I used to investigate UFOs for the British government, which was just one of a number of fascinating postings I had in a 21-year career at the UK’s Ministry of Defence."

Pope said: "In my experience, the key to solving a mystery like this lies in the community in which these events unfolded.

"That’s why I’ve teamed up with the Roswell Daily Record to launch an appeal. Because nobody denies there was a crash, we know that there was wreckage.

"And because no clean-up operation can ever be perfect, and because people like souvenirs, we believe there could still be pieces of this wreckage somewhere out there in the local community."

UFOs in the Finger Lakes Region

UFOs in the Finger Lakes Region

new-york-skies

For years around campfires and over holiday meals, I’ve heard tales of UFOs in New York’s Finger Lakes.

I’ve heard stories of bright objects descending from the skies and entering the waters of one lake or another. I’ve also heard accounts of bright objects exiting the waters of a lake and flying off into the wild blue yonder. I’ve even read a few tales attributed to Native American lore of bright objects leaving our lovely Finger Lakes for the heavens.

Unfortunately too many of the accounts are secondhand or so are old they qualify as legend. This makes investigation and research very difficult. Using statistics from my U.S. UFO magnitude study, I’ve compiled a chart of the counties that surround the core of New York’s Finger Lakes region. The idea was to see how the Finger Lakes region compared to the well-known Erie Lake region in terms of UFO sighting reports.

The Finger Lakes counties total 14 and are as follows: Cayuga, Cortland, Monroe, Ontario, Tioga, Wayne, Chemung, Livingston, Onondaga, Steuben, Schuyler, and Yates.

ny-finger-lakes-2001-2015-ccosta

Using data from my study, I compiled the chart above. The UFO sightings were reported in a period from 2001 through 2015. During the sample window, New York state logged 5,141 UFO sighting reports. The 14 counties that make up the Finger Lakes region logged 684 UFO sighting reports. As shown on the chart, the sightings tend to follow a seasonal reporting pattern.

Erie and Niagara counties, which log the lion’s share of the Erie Lake effect sighting cluster, only logged 447 UFO sighting reports for the same sample period.

At first glance, most of the Finger Lakes region counties have relatively low sighting reports. The exception is Monroe County, which reports 236 sighting reports for the sample period.

As a UFO researcher, I was rather surprised by the magnitude of the Finger Lakes numbers. Taken as a whole, New York’s Finger Lakes region hosts 13 percent of the states total UFO sightings. That is the largest concentration in the state, second only to Long Island.

Planet-Eating ‘Death Star’ Discovered! (Wow Video)

Planet-Eating ‘Death Star’ Discovered! (Wow Video)

(Before It's News)

From Nemesis Maturity:

Researchers looking at the sun, known as HIP68468, discovered it is destroying planets that came in its path.

HIP68468′s composition “points to a history of ingesting planets,” according to the research, published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

 https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.09067

Taking a cue from the famous ‘Death Star’ in the ‘Star Wars’ film saga, HIP68468 is theorized to have destroyed planets that veered into its path due to an orbit much closer than Earth is to the our own sun. Unlike the ‘Death Star’ though, the planets were engulfed by it and became part of its composition.

“It doesn’t mean that the sun will ‘eat’ the Earth any time soon,” said the report’s co-author, Jacob Bean, assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at University of Chicago, explaining how the planet contains “four times more lithium than would be expected for a star that is 6-billion-years old.”

“Our discovery provides an indication that violent histories may be common for planetary systems, including our own,” Bean says.

Located 300 light years away, HIP68468 was first discovered in 1995 but it’s only now that its appetite for planets as well as its first exoplanets are coming to light through observations from the La Silla Observatory in Chile last year. 

A super Neptune and a super Earth are believed to orbiting the star, although researchers say this “needs to be confirmed.”

It’s thought the super Earth is orbiting so close to HIP68468 that one full orbit takes three days.

Lithosphere Emitting “Alien Signal” Caused by Unknown Orbital Object? (Video)

Lithosphere Emitting “Alien Signal” Caused by Unknown Orbital Object? (Video)

(Before It's News)

On December 18, 2016 a strange phenomenon is being detected by earth ground sensors around the planet emanating from the lithosphere. A perpetual energy source that is not consistent with earthquake energy.

B4INREMOTE-aHR0cHM6Ly80LmJwLmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8tUnpfX0pCZDNROTAvV0ZkaU90aEM0ZUkvQUFBQUFBQUFRNmsvOXBtNjk0S3RKZU1RZ2NnWlc3ODFDRFE0TWFTSmtTanZRQ0xjQi9zNjQwL0xpdGhvc3BoZXJlJTJCZW1pdHRpbmclMkJBbGllbiUyQlNpZ25hbCUyQk9yYml0YWwlMkJPYmplY3QlMkIlMjUyODElMjUyOS5qcGc=
Image: Strange Red Pulse captured by cameras on the International Space Station on December 14, 2016. See below video.

It is suggested that the scalar template is changing the time density the “signal” that causes conflict on Earth is being interceded, the Earth grid must change to induct a different code.

They call this existing grid a “NET” that inducts the “alien signal” from the modified Berkland currents that transfer interdimensional gluon plasma in a cyclic form that repeats history at a causal level of human society, human consciousness and perception is interwoven into the etheric currents that are carried on the coarser plasma and electromagnetic Tell-uric currents.

Considering that planet’s atmosphere can have significant changes depending on what happens in our galaxy, there could be any possibility this changes on earth be linked with some energy activity of a meteor or other strange object near the orbit/area.

Although it is suggested that the strange vibrations or frequencies on earth are linked to some energy activity of an unknown orbital object, we also cannot rule out that the strange registered activities are coming from a Haarp-like system or other kind of weather warfare technology to create earthquakes.

If that were the cause we may wonder whether the globalists are behind the recent incidents. They are planning to create a devastating earthquake with the ultimate goal to keep Obama in Office who automatically will declare Martial Law, just to subvert the exchange of power in Washington?

Another reason of concern; Yellowstone’s ground sensor went off line at about the same time when other ground sensors detected the strange signal.

I don’t know if they censoring information about Yellowstone, but there was a small earthquake or some kind of vibration which is captured by Cat Martin showing the trees move during the quake/vibration. (See here Cat’s video).

Whether it is an unknown space object or the globalists are the culprit behind the strange events it’s clear that something is going on.

Massive V Shaped Alien Craft Over Melbourne

Massive V Shaped Alien Craft Over Melbourne

(Before It's News)

v-shape-ken-pfeifer-12-18-16

JANUARY 2, 2000   9.30 PM …….  MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA


Shape: V shape
Size: Large
Objects: 1
Colour: Black with Dim orange lights
Sound: None
Duration: 3 to 4 minutes
Direction: Suddenly disappeared

Sunday night , after falling asleep in his chair, Peter woke up and went Outside to feed his dogs. As it was such a nice night he decided to relax for a while and do a bit of stargazing, which he very often does late at night. After approximately half an hour, he looked up and noticed a large, solid black V shaped object with dim orange lights which were situated along the front end of the object. Peter said it was a very clear night and he first noticed the object because it was blocking out the Big Dipper constellation he had been looking at previously.

There was no sound emitted from the object at all and Peter estimates that it must have been at least 5 times bigger than a Jumbo Jet. He sighted the object for only 3-4 seconds when Peter says it just disappeared from view.

Fireball Falls Down to the Earth in Australia (Video)

Fireball Falls Down to the Earth in Australia (Video)

(Before It's News)

fireball-ufo

Witnesses went mystified after seeing a mysterious fireball UFO falling to Earth. The unusual thing was observed dropping from the sky above Newtown, Toowoomba in Queensland, Australia. The fireball even seen moving sharply to the right and then left as it was falling.

Newtown resident Rod Bishop captured the event on video.

The witness claimed that he spent 18 years in the army barracks and is an amateur astronomer, so he knows very well about aircraft. The mysterious thing he just captured on video made his jaw drop, according to the witness.

Some viewers of the video are wondering why alien spacecraft went to Toowoomba.

However, astronomer professor Jonti Horner believes the light is not a meteor or fireball because it looks too slow to be one. For him, it is also too slow to be a bit of space junk returning to Earth and burning up in the atmosphere.

Horner thinks it is the International Space Station. He explains that the ISS is brighter than the brightest stars and moves quite slow, making them quite spectacular.

Though it ‘s hard to tell the identity of the strange thing in the blurry video, Jonti stresses that’s the most likely explanation to him as an astronomer professor.

ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA
 
DECEMBER 6, 1999 ………… ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA 

Shape: Star Trek like spaceship
Duration: 15 seconds
Direction: West to East over to where Yatala Gaol on a level path
Witnesses: 4

Nick, saw the UFO, with 3 other men.  Nick was sitting outside with 3 of his mates, when all of a sudden a bright light appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

First off, Nick thought it might be the Police helicopter, and that it had turned on its search light. But, what seemed strange to Nick and made him change his mind, is that as the object got closer he could make out that it was quite large, and coloured a blue colour, not white, like the search light would be. 

When she asked Nick how big he thought the object looked to him, he said it was long and quite large. He said, he felt it looked like a ship and reminded him of a Star Trek like spaceship.  ”It just appeared from behind a tree !!… I sat there with my mates and we watched it travel levelly for about 15 seconds. I live near the Northfield Velladrome and it moved from West to East over to where Yatala Gaol is. The funny thing was, it all of a sudden spurted a bright coloured tail…the same sort of colour that you get with a gas flame, that colour blue.  It seem to spit out the flame, which then made it move…then it again stopped…spitted once, then twice, the flame came spinning out of its end and started to move off again, then to our surprise, as we watched it just disappeared.” 

adelaide

Charmaine spoke to Nick about how it had been said in the media that a Meteorite was reported in the night sky at the same time.  “NO, NO, I know what a meteorite looks like, I’ve been interested in the night sky for some years now, since I was a young kid. My parents owned a shack down at Willunga and I know I have seen some strange things in the sky down there, in fact I would say some UFO’s. I own a telescope, (which he has had for approx. 12 weeks) and have read up on things in the night sky, so I truly believe that it was NOT a meteorite, but something else. How could a meteorite just disappeared into thin air? I should have been able to follow its path through the sky” 

Nick and his mates sighting lasted for approx. 15 seconds and during that time, Nick stated the object travelled on a level path. Nick is happy to be contacted again, if any further info is required.

Meteor 2017 Warning! Expect Heightened Level of Threats First Quarter (Video)

Meteor 2017 Warning! Expect Heightened Level of Threats First Quarter (Video)

(Before It's News)

An in-depth analysis shows a heightened level of meteor threats for the first quarter of 2017.

In this 33 minute program, you will learn that December 21, 2012, was not a non-event as the media would have us believe. Rather, we were misled to expect a catastrophic event.
 

B4INREMOTE-aHR0cHM6Ly8xLmJwLmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8tS2RzcTNJZE9nZ00vV0ZTbE02Z3VaaUkvQUFBQUFBQUFRNkEvU0s4ZHMzMnRSY3NXOGFqZl9CalJRT3BRWVpobDFQS19nQ0xjQi9zNjQwL21heWFucyUyQm1ldGVvcnMlMkJmaXJzdCUyQnF1YXJ0ZXIlMkIyMDE3JTJCJTI1MjgxJTI1MjkuanBn

In this video, you will learn a basic lexicon of terms that will help you sort through the many news reports and videos on the Internet today about meteors, asteroids, it’s, and so forth.

Then you will see an analysis of hard data going back to 2009 and the statistical trends that clearly point to a heightened danger in the first quarter of 2017.

Should the earth suddenly be struck by an asteroid, we’d basically all be completely and totally screwed, said NASA researcher Dr. Joseph Nuth, speaking at the annual meeting of the American Geophysicists Union, reports the dailymail.

The earth is totally unprepared for an asteroid hit and the biggest problem is there’s not a hell of a lot we can do about it at the moment, Nuth said at the meeting.

Also in this video you will learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones if you happen to be in the proximity of a superbolide event.

Finally, what the Mayans intended was that a future generation would perceive this day as a harbinger of a future catastrophic event and this is what the empirical data shows.

New Information About The Rendlesham Forest Incident

New Information About The Rendlesham Forest Incident

NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE RENDLESHAM FOREST INCIDENT
 
DECEMBER 23, 1980  …………  RENDLESHAM FOREST ENGLAND
 
I was sitting on the back porch of the Black’s Farm. It was dark and cold. I was cleaning rabbits on the back porch that my father had shot. I was finishing up with the rabbit when a white ball of light coming from the south of the house moved north to the back field behind the house. It as completely silent. I watched it with awe, not quite believing what I was seeing. It hovered over the far field and looked to be about the size of a Mini Cooper. It cast a glow on the wet mud in the field and then seemed to land in the field. It was simply beautiful. It looked like it was pulsing. I eventually snapped out of it. I went to get my dad. I was very excited. When we came back out, it was gone.
Like it had blinked out of existence. My father did not think I saw what I knew I had seen. He told me it was probably a helicopter and not a big deal. I knew what I had seen. 
The next day I walked out to where I thought it landed. I went back to my house got my dad and told him he needed to come out and see what I found. We got out there and there were three circular impressions there on the ground equally spaced out and my original set of footprints going to and from the site, very muddy and then our prints going back to the site where the orb had landed. My father was surprised enough that he called the base and reported what he had found and I had seen. No one ever came to my knowledge to check the site.
Then a couple of days later the famous Rendlesham Forest event occurred at RAF Bentwaters Woodbridge.”

Strange Flying ‘Tube Light’ Spotted by Skycam Over Florida (Video)

Strange Flying ‘Tube Light’ Spotted by Skycam Over Florida (Video)

(Before It's News)

An unknown light source zips out from around the corner (planet), stands upright and outlines/highlights a specific region, then, it stops self illuminating.

The last 5 nights I (Mrmbb33) have seen several explainable meteors and fireballs over the Florida skies but this light captured by the All Skycam on December 12, 2016 however is a bit weird.

The object seems to be its own light source and it appears to be beaming upwards versus a light source beaming down.

The big question is where does this luminous object come from?

How to Search for Life on Mars

SAN FRANCISCO — Life has left its mark just about everywhere on this verdant planet.

Earth's environment not only shapes those life-forms that evolve, but the planet actually evolves and changes in response to those organisms. So if life is lurking on Mars, researchers need to look for evidence of life modifying Red Planet habitats, Nathalie Cabrol said here on Dec. 14 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union's Carl Sagan Lecture.

"It's only recently we understood not only that the environment changes, but [also] life has an impact on how the environment can change," said Cabrol, who is a senior research scientist and director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute in California, and who gave the lecture.

However, looking for evidence of changes caused by life-forms won't be easy, Cabrol said. Any exploration on Mars needs to look at the right scale to find evidence of life modifying its habitat, she said. [7 Most Mars-Like Places on Earth]

Recent voyages to Mars have yielded fairly conclusive evidence that the Red Planet harbors theoretically habitable areas, such as the Gusev and Gale craters. For instance, chemical exploration has revealed that at different points in Martian history, the planet had an abundance of the building blocks of life, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrochloric acid and methane, Cabrol said. River deltas and ancient tsunami deposits reveal that Mars had a water column and even, briefly, a primeval ocean. Rock weathering and hydrothermal geological activity may have provided the necessary chemical energy for life, she said.

But simply being habitable is very different from actually having a habitat, she said.

"Our planet is bio-obvious," Cabrol said. When looking from space signatures of life everywhere are visible everywhere, Cabrol said. "There is a strong message from our planet: 'I am alive.'"

By contrast, Mars is also sending a strong message that life has not made a large impression on the Red Planet, she said.

Evidence suggests that the Martian atmosphere was declining as early as 4.1 billion years ago, and any surface water likely dried up long ago. With a thin atmosphere, bombardment by deadly cosmic radiation and likely no modern flowing water, any life that emerged on Mars likely did so very early on in the planet's history, during a time known as the Noachian period (from 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago), Cabrol said. If that life is still hanging on, it likely went deep underground, where it is protected from Mars' current harsh environment, she said. [Boron Found On Mars For First Time By Curiosity Rover | Video]

"The window of time was very small," Cabrol said.

To understand what kind of Martian life-forms to look for, researchers need to understand the best Earth-based analog to the Martian Noachian period. This is Earth's Archean eon, between 4 billion and 2 billion years ago. During that period, all life on Earth consisted of primitive, single-celled creatures that lacked nuclei. 

At that time, microbial mats of cyanobacteria living in shallow pools of water trapped grains of sediment to build up a kind of rock housing. Huge expanses of bulbous rock structures billions of years old have been found on Earth. Other primitive forms of life burrowed around in hydrothermal vents, creating signature cone-shaped structures, Cabrol said.

Another way to determine what to look for is to find the most Martian-like places on Earth. The hyper-arid, high-altitude Atacama Desert, which, gets just 0.6 inches (15 millimeters) of rainfall a year but used to be much wetter, is exposed to punishing ultraviolet radiation and has active geothermal features such as hot springs.

"If you want to find the microbe, you have to become the microbe. Very early on, you need to shelter — you need to adapt and you need to survive," Cabrol said. Microbes would also have to "organize around oases and organize a lot faster."

These Martian oases could be similar, in some ways, to the evaporating lakes, salt flats and hot springs of the Atacama, Cabron said.

Ancient creatures in these Martian environments would likely be extremophiles or superbugs that are highly adaptive, and are possibly very quick to form symbiotic communities, Cabrol said.

While structures that could provide microbial habitats might be found on Mars, researchers will have to know where to look in the first place, Cabrol said. They won't get many opportunities to sample in many places, she said. Finding the tools with the resolution to identify those habitats will also be challenging, Cabrol added.

However, drones that can fly up and down to image the area at different scales could reveal some of the fine detail that provides clues for ancient life, she said.

And some tools already heading out on the Mars 2020 mission could reveal evidence of potential habitats. For instance, Cabrol showed images of Gusev Crater. Pictures of that feature initially lacked the resolution to reveal any evidence of habitat. But after looking at the light spectra reflected, "The spectra are telling us this is something that could be related to hydrothermal activity and constructs," Cabrol said. "There's only one way of knowing — it's to go back."

A New Theory of Gravity Just Passed its First Test. Here’s What This Means for Physics

A New Theory of Gravity Just Passed its First Test. Here’s What This Means for Physics

 
Verlindes new theory of gravity passes first test
The gravity of galaxies bends space, such that the light traveling through this space is bent. This bending of light allows astronomers to measure the distribution of gravity around galaxies, even up to distances a hundred times larger than the galaxy itself.

IN BRIEF
  • Erik Verlinde's emergent gravity theory makes sense of the behavior of gravity without the need for the existence of a dark matter particle.
  • Researchers from the Leiden Observatory have studied more than 33,000 galaxies to see if Verlinde’s theory checks out.

EMERGENT GRAVITY

In 2010, renowned string theory expert Erik Verlinde from the University of Amsterdam and the Delta Institute for Theoretical Physics proposed that gravity is not a fundamental force of nature, but rather an “emergent phenomenon.” And now, one hundred years after Einstein published the final version of his general theory of relativity, Verlinde published his paper expounding on his stance on gravity—with a big claim that challenges the very foundation of physics as we know it.

Verlinde’s emergent gravity theory makes one very important implication: dark matter does not exist. His research makes sense of the behavior of gravity without the need for the existence of a dark matter particle.

Researchers from the Leiden Observatory have studied more than 33,000 galaxies to see if Verlinde’s theory checks out—and the results show that it is, in fact, more accurate at confirming the universe’s gravity distribution than Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Watch the video below to know more about Verlinde’s alternate explanation to gravity.

“A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STARTING POINT”

Throughout the years, physicists have been in search of dark matter, which would explain the discrepancies between general relativity and the gravitational lensing observed in light space. While gravity is responsible for this bending of light, the problem is that the bending is not consistent with the amount of matter present, suggesting the presence of invisible particles to account for the additional gravitational force.

A lot of effort, equipment, and funds have been dedicated to the quest for dark matter. If proven right, Verlinde would be putting an end to a four-century long search for the hypothetical particle, and what we know of our universe will drastically change.

Verlinde’s calculations were only applicable to isolated, spherical, and static systems, which means that dark matter is not completely debunked. As with any theory, Verlinde’s emergent gravity theory will undergo modifications as more physicists weigh in on the matter over the next years. Verlinde is optimistic about its progression: “Many theoretical physicists like me are working on a revision of the theory, and some major advancements have been made.”

“We might be standing on the brink of a new scientific revolution that will radically change our views on the very nature of space, time and gravity,” he added.
