A UFO that is about the size of a transit van came down in Devon to abduct some animals, according to UFOlogist John Mooner, who captured the shots of the mysterious event. Mooner was confident that extraterrestrials from the unidentified flying object wanted to get the genetic material of the animals.
Mooner, who works as World UFO Photos chief photographer, shot the unexpected encounter in Dawlish Warren, Devon in November.
Cattle mutilations have been reported more often in recent years. The theory is that aliens want to use DNA material from animals to make alien hybrids.
John Mooner said he observed a black object moving along the tree line. He initially thought of a helicopter, but he could only hear the passing train and nothing heard from the flying object. According to his estimate, the UFO has the same size of a large transit van. The witness continued to watch the object as it descended into a field. He saw the black object landed and stayed in there as if it waited for something to arrive. Mooner was amazed to witness the dark object went completely invisible.
The photographer claimed that he wanted to go to the landing area, but he didn’t have a means to get across the water, and the place was too far away. His speculation is that the object was waiting for the farmer to leave his livestock into the field to abduct some animals and kill them for genetic material.
Mass UFO sighting recorded in Las Vegas, Nevada 9-Dec-2016
Here’s one interesting footage of a multiple bright objects flying across the sky above Las Vegas in Nevada. This was filmed on 9th December 2016.
Witness report:
So last night I was walking in a local park in Las Vegas and i saw on the horizon 15-20 solid balls of yellow/orange light rising from ground level up to the clouds and then disappearing. They were probably 15-20 miles away so they weren’t paper lanterns as some have speculated. They also weren’t conventional aircraft as they were solid balls of light with no anti collision lighting.
Shocking Claim On Fireball Over Norway and Siberia
A massive fireball that turned night into the day after its explosion over Earth was, in fact, a wormhole opening for the alien spacecraft to depart to another dimension. This is according to claim from conspiracy theorists on the incident observed over Norway and Siberia.
Amazing images of the massive fireball in Norway and Siberia were posted online as videos and pictures. The fireball is explained as a meteorite burning up in Earth’s atmosphere.
However, some conspiracy theorists have come up with another explanation. They said that the UFO is forming a black hole around it as seen in the images that made the rounds online. The fireball is not exploding, but creating the hole first, then entering to a flash of light. The hole then gone after the UFO came into it, as explained by the conspiracy theorists.
They said that the images show a UFO opening up a wormhole before vanishing. Some UFO researchers even enhanced the images by adding light and discovered blackness all around the UFO. They speculated that some alien might be too lazy to leave the Earth’s orbit and just took off in a hurry through wormholes.
For some observers, they believe it was a huge meteor that came hurtling down the west coast of Norway. The event created daylight on the ground miles away. It is believed that the meteorite did not reach the land and burned in the atmosphere.
NASA’s Curiosity rover is currently climbing a mountain. The rover is in the business of climbing lots of things, but according to the data it’s transmitting back to scientists this particular mountain is full of groundwater, making the rock strata chemically active and diverse - a good sign as we search for microbial life. Curiosity also located boron, thefirst time the element has ever been found on Mars. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced the promising news in a press releaseTuesday.
The rover is drilling into Mount Sharp, a site scientists chose hoping it would provide us with exactly this kind of geologic record. The central mound’s sediment is layered, providing a chronological account of early environmental conditions on Mars.
“There is so much variability in the composition at different elevations, we’ve hit a jackpot,” California Institute of Technology professor John Grotzinger told JPL. “A sedimentary basin such as this is a chemical reactor … Elements get rearranged. New minerals form and old ones dissolve. Electrons get redistributed. On Earth, these reactions support life.”
As Curiosity progresses higher up the mountain, it’s also finding various clay minerals and hematite not present at lower altitudes. As for the boron, on Earth we generally find in drier regions where the water has evaporated, so scientists are still floating ideas as to why we just found it deposited by Mars’s groundwater. The two prevailing theories at the moment are that either a lake evaporated under a layer of boron, which later re-dissolved and trickled down through the cracks to the more ancient layers Curiosity is sampling, or that the process by which groundwater transports boron was chemically altered, an idea supported by the fact that we also found hematite.
“Variations in these minerals and elements indicate a dynamic system,” Grotzinger said. “They interact with groundwater as well as surface water. The water influences the chemistry of the clays, but the composition of the water also changes. We are seeing chemical complexity indicating a long, interactive history with the water. The more complicated the chemistry is, the better it is for habitability. The boron, hematite and clay minerals underline the mobility of elements and electrons, and that is good for life.”
The Curiosity rover touched down on Mars in 2012 and has been searching for signs of life ever since. While we’ve seen plenty of promising evidence from various forms of water and minerals that life could exist there, there’s still no proof that it does, which is why discoveries like this one are so crucial. The better we understand how microbial life might survive on Mars, the better-prepared we are to survive on it ourselves.
For nearly 200 years, scientists have seriously pondered the possibility of life on Mars. It’s been a rollercoaster of dreaming: for a long time, the more we studied Mars, the more it looked the like the Red Planet was acold, dry hellhole, lacking any of the essentials we consider a requirement for even the most primitive life.
Then we learned Mars was once teeming in liquid water. With the discovery that liquid water currently exists on the surface of the planet, the prospects that aliens actually still call Mars home now seem better than ever. During a Tuesday workshop called “Searching for Life Across Space and Time”, NASA Goddard Space Center biogeochemist Jennifer Eigenbrode made a pretty strong case for why the newest data were collecting about Mars is dramatically raising the prospects we might find signs of past of present Martian life.
It all comes down to what we’re starting to learn about the presence of organics on the Red Planet. Eigenbrode remembers that during the Curiosity rover’s landing in 2011, most members of the NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory were “very doubtful we would ever detect organics on Mars.”
Nowadays, MSL’s scientists realize “organics are all over Mars.” And where there are organics, there’s the potential for those compounds to come together and lead to the genesis of living organisms.
Does that mean there’s life on Mars? Not necessarily. But organic molecules and compounds are the constituents that lead to life. Organics on Earth were by no means a guarantor that life would evolve, but it was certainly essential to the evolution of organic life.
During her presentation in Irvine, California, Eigenbrode pointed to analyses of Martian rock samples from the Gale Crater floor, Yellowknife Bay, and Parhump Hills — areas that are thought to have once possessed liquid water reserves — and they all had traces of organic macromolecules.
This is important, because 70 to 90 percent of organic matter is macromolecular. The complexity is critical to making life work, since metabolism is a complicated process that requires complicated pathways. Organic matter also fuels metabolism itself, since it’s one potential source of energy or carbon. “We need to be looking for this stuff,” said Eigenbrode.
But as Eigenbrode emphasized, the big question is what are the sources for these organics. They could be biological, but they might also very well be abiotic. They may have formed de novo — that is, on the planet itself — or be the result of deposits brought to Mars through meteorite crashes. “if this stuff is abiological,” she cautions, “…looking for organics is not looking for life.”
Nevertheless, “the presence of organic matter actually supports the habitability of an ancient lake,” said Eigenbrode. She’s specially referring to the Gale Crater, which is thought to have been home to vast body of water 3.6 billion years ago.
So what’s next? NASA’s Mars 2020 rover will be the key to understand the extent to which life may have or perhaps does exist on the Red Planet. The new rover will be fitted with an large suite of different instruments that can do a better job assessing the composition and concentrations of Martian organics and how they might relate to life on Mars. Just a little over four years to wait before two centuries’ worth of speculation can finally be confirmed or debunked.

Three American Space Station projects have failed, but a dedicated U.S. Space Station will facilitate U.S. economic activities, accelerate humanity's colonization of the solar system, and allow us to tap the resources of the cosmos to aid our cause.
THE UNIVERSE BEYOND EARTH
“Mars is the next step of our space program. It’s the challenge that’s been staring us in the face for the past 30 years. At one time in the ancient past, Mars was very similar to the conditions of early Earth. We now have ‘eyes’ and ‘ears’ on the surface of this new world. The Mars rovers have captured our imaginations. They genuinely are explorers in the old-fashioned sense.”
Thirty years ago, Carl Sagan wrote these words, urging the continued funding of NASA’s programs in the U.S. budget. However, there are obstacles that we still face when it comes to exploring, understanding, and conquering the Red Planet.
The U.S. is the world’s leading aerospace manufacturer. We lead the globe in the exploration of the solar system and the development of commercial, military, and communication satellites. We can reach the Moon and Mars, but it seems we can’t (or don’t) stay long. Instead, we spend billions of dollars leaving and returning again.
In order to build on Mars, to stay on Mars, and ultimately expand to other worlds, there are two seemingly insurmountable obstacles. First, the establishment of a permanent presence in space requires the development of space-based infrastructures. We can see Mars with our “eyes” and “ears”—our probes—but we can neither physically reach it nor stay there until we’ve first established significant human enterprise, industry, and presence operating off Earth.
The second obstacle in relation to establishing a permanent human presence in space is the why? In short, to explore, understand, and build on the Red Planet, we need an economic impetus to do so.
So what is the next step? How do we maintain a human presence off Earth? How can we access the resources of the Solar System if we can’t stay in space any longer than it takes for the trip there and back again?
In the past half-century, we’ve had three real answers to this question: the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, the Skylab, and the Freedom. All projects towards permanent habitable space stations. Yet, all three projects were canceled due to financial obstacles.
With one exception.
A LONG VOYAGE INTO THE COSMOS
The Freedom Space Station project launched in 1994, and it was eventually converted into a larger Space Station, one that is still in operation today under a different name.TheFreedom and Russian Federal Space Agency space station project (MIR-2) modules were integrated, ultimately becoming the Russian Orbital Segments and American Orbital Segments of the International Space Station (ISS).
These canceled Russian and American projects formed the first joint international undertaking off Earth.
Can the U.S. maintain its place as a leader of the development of space-based industry? Could the U.S. create its own space station as a stepping stone into the cosmos? Let’s imagine it.

The space station could legally operate the way Tiangong 1 and 2 have. The Tiangong stations, translating to Heavenly Palace, have been the only other manned stations in space besides the ISS. Though small, the Tiangongs are nonetheless an entity of the Chinese government. An easy, if not entirely semantically correct, way to think about it is that the Tiangongs are a city of China in space.
Any developments by the U.S would be the American counterpart, the city in space—a design which was investigated by NASA more than a quarter of a century ago. The U.S space station should not only be intended as a scientific laboratory, but as a central location for U.S. economic activities, such as asteroid mining and space solar power (1). Ultimately, this new space station’s primary purpose would be to generate space-based industry, providing burgeoning enterprises with the resources to initiate economic activity off Earth. The new U.S. Space Station would be the realization of the three failed NASA projects to colonize the solar system
MAKING SPACE AFFORDABLE
With the development of space-based economic activities, such as space solar power and asteroid mining, this can lead to the creation of technology that will facilitate the accessibility of space by allowing companies to generate revenue from their efforts.
Currently, it costs millions of dollars to send a pound of anything into space, whether it’s computers, water, or personnel. Space solar power is an economic impetus that could lead to sustainable and renewable energy that does not emit greenhouse gasses, hazardous waste, and is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Additionally, asteroid mining can bring rare-earth metals and resources within our grasp, materials that are in limited supply on Earth and are used in everything from electric vehicles to computer chips. Resources that could be mined or extracted include iron, nickel, titanium, water, rare-earth metals, oxygen, and hydrogen. These could be used to sustain the lives of astronauts on-site, to create rocket propellants, and to send back to Earth. Notably, in space exploration, using resources gathered while on a journey is referred to as in-situ resource utilization, eliminating the need for billion-dollar-chemically-based rockets to bring such necessities from Earth.
These space-based industries are our frontier, the new frontier. Building a home amongst the stars can not only lead to the construction of the technology for easier ways of getting off the Earth, but also to new ways of thinking about space travel—like non-rocket space launches, a geosynchronous orbital tether to the stars, or even the laser propelled lightcraft (2).
UNDERSTANDING THE NEED
Of course, having a U.S. space station would not be simple. The project will require us to create new space-based industries and catalyze a new frontier of economic activity with a dedicated human presence in space. But imagine drastically reducing the financial burden of maintaining satellites in space. Imagine being able to build ships while in space as opposed to launching them from the Earth and battling the clutches of gravity. Imagine the military advantage of a space station that can send aid to any position on the globe. Imagine 1000 Americans in space on an American Space Station in a new branch of the military.
The early American enterprise of NASA’s three space station projects created unprecedented economic opportunities off Earth that we had never before considered and eventually led up to an even larger space station. The current I.S.S. is a testament to a confluence of nations, a foothold amongst the stars, and a shared dream of exploration. Ultimately, a permanent U.S space station is not only a step for American aerospace industry gaining the foothold to tap resources of the solar system, but another big step for humanity becoming a multi-planetary civilization and one day reaching (and staying) on the Red Planet
Footnotes:
(1) Unlike terrestrial solar and wind power, oil, gas, ethanol, nuclear plants, and coal plants, space solar power does not emit greenhouse gasses or hazardous waste. It is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in huge quantities. It works regardless of cloud cover, daylight, or wind speed. Further, space solar power can be exported to virtually any place in the world, and its energy can be converted for local needs — such as the manufacturing of methanol for use in places like rural India, where there are no electric power grids. Space solar power can also be used for the desalination of sea water and the agricultural development of previously barren, open lands. Lastly, space solar power can provide a market large enough to develop the low-cost space transportation system that is required for its deployment. This, in turn, will also bring the resources of the solar system within economic reach.
(2) Laser propulsion is in its early stages of development. Lightcraft use an external laser source or maser energy to provide power for producing thrust. The laser/maser energy is focused to a high intensity in order to create a plasma. The plasma expands, producing thrust.
Echoes detected during a black hole merger that confirmed part of Einstein's theory of relativity could mean there is something at an event horizon, contradicting the same theory.
If confirmed, the information would challenge our current assumptions about physics and how black holes are structured, leading to a better understanding of our physical world.
Physicists studying LIGO’s data on the black hole merger claim it reveals “echoes” of gravitational waves that contradict predictions made by Einstein’s general theory, which has been proven by LIGO on more than one occasion now. Previously, physicists believed that Einstein’s theory broke down in extreme conditions, such as those found at a black hole’s core. However, these recently discovered echoes seem to indicate that relativity fails around a black hole’s edges, far from its center.
As part of the standard model based on Einstein’s theory, nothing should be found at the edge of a black hole (its event horizon). This contradicts other theories such as the one that corresponds to quantum physics, which suggests that an event horizon should have a firewall, a ring of high-energy particles, around it.
Cosmologist Niayesh Afshordi at the University of Waterloo in Canada created models of these black hole mergers that assumed they did have something at their event horizons. The timing of the echoes following the release of gravitational waves in the mergers recorded by LIGO matched up perfectly with those expected by Afshordi’s models. This supports the idea that the edges of black holes do have some structure and not a whole lot of nothingness as suggested by Einstein’s theory.
THE PUZZLE THAT IS THE UNIVERSE
“The LIGO detections, and the prospect of many more, offer an exciting opportunity to investigate a new physical regime,” said black-hole researcher Steve Giddings from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB).
For now, more research is needed to see if these echoes were a fluke or something that will completely reshape our understanding of a black hole’s event horizon. If proven to be permanent fixtures of a merger, we would need a new theory to explain this and similar phenomenon — at least until the elusive theory of everything comes along.
In any case, observation of future black hole mergers can confirm whether these echoes were just flukes or random noise. “The good thing is that new LIGO data with improved sensitivity will be coming in, so we should be able to confirm this or rule it out within the next two years,” said Ashfordi.
It’s no surprise that the universe continues to confirm theories of physics one minute and break them the next. So much of the universe is still a big unknown as far as we’re concerned. Theories come and go, and although Einstein’s has been relatively successful, the emergency of new technologies will continue to allow us to challenge earlier assumptions.
Huge mysterious UFO disc-shaped object captured crossing moon's surface was alien spaceship, say ET hunters
The full moon is seen in the night sky above Sydney, Australia, November 13, 2016, on the eve of the "supermoon" spectacle.

Alien hunters are convinced this huge apparently disc-shaped UFO crossing the moon is yet more proof of extraterrestrial life.
Mystery surrounds the object which appeared from out of the blue as the Miami Observatory in Florida streamed a feed of the lunar surface on December 3.
The dark circle-shaped shadow is captured above the moon, sparking theories from a well-known UFO enthusiast that it is a craft created by an intelligent species.
Scott C. Waring, from UFOsightingsdaily.com, said: "It's not a man-made object, because there are not solar panel wings on it to gather energy.
"There are no antennas on it for transmitting, also the surface is not completely round, but has a rough edge to it.
"Looks like a bio-mechanically grown UFO."
One poster on YouTube refuted claims that it was an alien spaceship or even an object.
They said: "After studying it is NOT an object.
"I have come to these conclusions after multiple re-plays effected, I have seen that it does not maintain the form.
"For me it is the outskirts of a shadow. If this is so it is very possible that the object crossed between the Moon and the Sun projecting the shadow."
Another user said: "Peekaboo UFO, they know we are watching."
He said: "I am an amateur astronomer and spent 18 years in the army barracks so I know what aircraft look and act like.
"This just made my jaw drop."
Readers of the story on local website Chinchilla News speculated about aliens.
One, with the user name Grolt posted: "So UFOs don't go to Japan, Korea, Russia, China, Germany, USA or any other high tech place... they come to Toowoomba."
The light looks too slow to be a meteor or fireball, and even too slow to be a bit of space junk returning to Earth and burning up in the atmosphere.
Professor Jonti Horner
But, astronomer professor Jonti Horner believes he may know what it was.
He said: "The light looks too slow to be a meteor or fireball, and even too slow to be a bit of space junk returning to Earth and burning up in the atmosphere.
"The International Space Station is really bright, brighter than the brightest stars, and quite slow moving - and can be quite spectacular.
"The video is a bit blurry, but I think that's the most likely explanation - it looks right to me."
What on God’s green earth was that? NSRI on the lookout after 'UFO' spotted off Jeffreys Bay
NSRI said the institute’s Port Elizabeth station was asked by Air Traffic Control to investigate the sighting of “an unidentified flying object”. Image by: Chris Harvey / Getty Images/Hemera
A mysterious green unidentified flying object had rescue officials on alert in Jeffreys Bay on Monday night
National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) spokesman Craig Lambinon said the institute’s Port Elizabeth station was asked by Air Traffic Control to investigate the sighting of “an unidentified flying object” at about 9.30pm.
“A Boeing 737 cargo aircraft captain and co-pilot‚ flying from Cape Town International Airport to Port Elizabeth International Airport‚ reported seeing what appeared to be a green object increasing in altitude past the cockpit of their aeroplane reaching to about 1000 feet into clouds above them and then returning towards earth at high speed past the cockpit of the aeroplane‚” he said.
The sighting was reported to Air Traffic Control in Port Elizabeth‚ where officials asked the NSRI to investigate the possibility that an aircraft or craft in difficulty.
The incident occurred about 10 nautical miles off-shore of Jeffreys Bay and about 1 000m in the sky.
Officials soon dismissed initial suggestions that it was a 300m green parachute flare as these flares cannot reach that height.
“NSRI Jeffreys Bay were alerted and although the matter was monitored throughout the night the green object has not been seen since and there are no reports of anyone‚ or craft or aircraft overdue or missing‚” Lambinon said.
“No further reports of sightings have been received and the incident remains a mystery.”
Joe Sheahan is in the fight of his life to save his family’s Nevada mine from being swallowed up by the federal government's mysteriousArea 51.
Technically, Sheahan’s family no longer even holds title to Groom Mine, which it owned for 130 years. The federal government took the deed through eminent domain after first offering the Sheahans $333,300, a price family lawyer James Leavitt called “embarrassingly low.” The family is fighting back in federal court, but if the Sheahans and Uncle Sam can’t agree on a value, it could wind up before a jury.
Possibly more interesting is what the federal government wants with a parched stretch of rural Nevada desert and an old mine that hasn’t been active in decades. The area is known for two of the feds’ most closely guarded secrets: nuclear testing and UFOs.
So far, the family has not been paid for the land. Initially, the family was sued by the federal government in September of 2015 in a complaint case of eminent domain. A few days later the government then filed a motion to take the over the property. Now, Appraisal reports are being exchanged in the discovery phase of the litigation. If the parties cannot reach a sufficient value for the land, the Sheahans are prepared to fight it in a jury trial.
The mine hasn’t been in full operation since 1954, but until fall of 2015 family members went out from time to time to blast for minerals. The 400 acres of land sits almost 6,000 feet above sea level with panoramic views of the surrounding Groom Mountain Range and borders the Nevada Test and Training Range, which includes Area 51. According to Sheahan, his family’s land had always been highly sought after by the U.S. Air Force base looking to expand its flight-testing range, “They told me the land was like a suit hemmed in too tight that needed to breathe, that’s why they want our land“ Sheahan said.
Sheahan told Fox News that Air Force officials started showing up unannounced on the property in the 40’s and 50’s, intimidating his grandparents. He said his family complained to the Air Force, but nothing happened. Then nuclear tests came without warning. According to the Las Vegas Review Journal archives, on Jan. 27, 1951, the Air Force detonated the first above-ground test on land next to the Groom Mine. Sheahan says his family wasn’t told about the test. “This bomb goes off, who do you call, who do you Google, there’s no one … those blasts did significant damage to the property, not only in radiation,” he said. Sheahan claims family members and mine workers suffered long-term radiation effects and says some livestock died from beta burns.
In the winter of 2014, government officials from the Department of Defense and the U.S. Air Force approached the Sheahan family about purchasing the property. At that time, Sheahan and other family members had never had the property appraised but he says the family thought offers of $2.4 million, $5.2 million, and $1.5 million from the Air Force were too low and so they rejected them. “We’re not going to sit down with those numbers at the table.” said Sheahan.
The Air Force confiscated the property on Sept. 16, 2015 through a federal court ruling in US District Court in Nevada. The family had three outside experts appraise the property after the seizure. Due to its proximity to Area 51 and the mineral rights to the land, each appraiser recognized the “unique value” of the property and came to the conclusion that the real value of the land was worth upwards of $44 million to $116 million dollars, Leavitt told Fox News.
In a statement on Nov. 9, 2016 obtained by Fox News, a prior commander at Nellis Air Force Base, Col. Thomas E. Dempsey explained the reason for seizing the land; “Over the years, technology has increased demand for the test and training range assets and the Air Force has developed infrastructure that directly supports range activities that cannot be replicated elsewhere.”
Leavitt is fighting to get the family just compensation, which real estate expert and Fox News Legal Analyst Bob Massi explains as “an objective understanding of the value of that property.”
Fox News reached out for a comment from Justice Department, which is representing the Air Force but was told by deputy press secretary Wyn Hornbuckle the department will not comment on pending litigation.
Freelance local investigative reporter Glen Meek has been researching the Sheahan case since the government seized the land and is making a documentary about the land dispute. He noted government’s unwillingness to provide answers and boiled it down to two major fundamental issues - individual rights and national security, saying “the government’s position is pretty much, the testing that’s going on there now is incompatible with civilians having private land in that area.”
The case is currently in discovery. Sheahan says he is a God-loving American and does not want to be portrayed as unpatriotic but wants his family to receive just compensation. Sheahan and Leavitt expect a late spring or early summer court date where a jury will decide on the matter of just compensation.
Famous footage of a possible cow abduction from 1983. (Not an incident Mr Mooner claims to have filmed or been present at.)
A man claims to have witnessed a UFO "the size of a transit van" trying to abduct cows in Devon. He believes the aliens were motivated by a desire to harvest the animals' genetic material.
John Mooner said: "I was watching a train pass by in the distance, when I spotted a black object slowly moving along the tree line and at first I thought it was an helicopter. I could only hear the passing train and thought to myself that's strange it can't be an helicopter there's no sound of the rotors.
"I estimated that the object must of been the size of a large transit van. I watched as the object began to slowly descend into a field. Once it had landed the black object just sat there as if waiting for something to arrive. To my amazement the black object then went completely invisible.
"I wanted to go over there to investigate but it was to far away and I did not have a boat to get across the water. My guess is that the object was waiting for the farmer to bring his livestock into the field so they could abducted some of the poor animals to kill for genetic material.
"The farmer would not of seen this large object and would of [sic] left the field thinking his animals were safe. But the aliens were there all along waiting for the opportunity to strike and take their pickings. Spooky."
Mooner, a self-described "ufologist", has purportedly seen scores of extra-terrestrial spaceships over the years. He made the most recent claims to an Exeter newspaper.
CHEVRON SHAPED ALIEN CRAFT ENCOUNTER IN CALIFORNIA
DECEMBER 4, 2016 ………HUNTINGTON BEACH CALIFORNIA
Time: 22:40
Duration:10-15 seconds
Sighting City: Huntington Beach
Sighting State: CA
Sighting Zip: 92648
Sighting Country: USA
Sighting County: Orange
Witnesses: 1
Shape: Chevron
Number of Craft:1
Description: Fast-moving craft with gray lights over suburban Huntington Beach.
Description:
“I’d just stepped out of my friend’s house after a comedic session of Dungeons & Dragons. We’d watched TV, talked about video games, the usual for our age group. A normal Sunday night. I was the last one to leave. I didn’t expect to see something in the sky, but then again, I don’t think anyone does. It was one of those rare cloudless nights where LA’s famous light pollution doesn’t ruin a decent view of the stars over the suburbs. I’m originally from a very small town, so I don’t take celestial beauty for granted. I looked up at the sky to admire the stars, and that’s when I saw it.
My first thought was “airplane”, but this was immediately replaced by “drone?” because it was too fast for a commercial flight, and completely silent. And then I thought that it couldn’t have been a drone, because again, it was completely silent, and the most common drones are quadcopters.
This thing was in the shape of a chevron, and dark gray. It was a little larger than the moon, which was slightly farther away. Another thing that perplexed me besides the speed were the lights. Three of them, one on each wing end and one under the middle corner, unblinking, and a dim gray. I’ve never seen gray lights in my life. The chevron was headed southeast, when suddenly, without slowing down, it made a sharp, tight U-turn, pivoted, and disappeared before my eyes.
I didn’t blink, I didn’t look away for a second, and there were no clouds for it to hide behind. It was there, and then it was gone. I don’t think we have the technology to make planes turn the way this thing did.”
“The meteor began 46 miles above the Gulf of Mexico and 8 miles from Sarasote”, says Bill Cooke.
A meteor lit up the Florida sky for brief moments before exploding into tiny pieces. The giant fireball began its descend above the state’s west coast soon after dark. A number of panicking citizens grabbed the phone and immediately alerted the North Port Police Department. Upon answering the multiple calls, police officers found themselves investigating what at first looked like a UFO threat.
Numerous individuals even considered that a UFO invasion might take place. Fortunately, there was no reason for such concerns. The locals were only seeing a harmless meteorite bursting into flames upon entering the Earth’s atmosphere.
AMERICAN METEOR SOCIETY’S REPORT
According to a group of individuals with the American Meteor Society, approximately 150 Florida residents saw the meteorite dropping to Earth. They were mainly stationed south of Florida Panhandle, in Key West. The mystery of the unidentified object revolved around its unusual brightness, in particular.
The incident was also captured by some dashcams. One recording comes straight from the North Port Police Department (NPPD) itself. NPPD uploaded the footage on the official police station’s Facebook page, only moments after the event. The police officers on duty who captured the images were lightheartedly joking about the likelihood of an alien encounter.
NASA OFFICIAL REPORT
The video featured on the official NPPD Facebook page currently has over 80,000 views. Multiple users are joking about the whole incident. However, many others believe that a transformer blew up in the area, causing the bright flash. Among them was also a police officer with the NPPD. Although, upon closely inspecting the footage several times, he changed his mind.
The Marshall Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama, one of many NASA facilities issued an official report on the matter. The bright object was nothing but a baseball-sized meteorite traveling at speeds exceeding 40,000. The official name of this kind of meteor is bolide, according to NASA. On November 21st, 2016, the bolide entered the Earth atmosphere around 11:18 p.m. It burst into flames shortly after, due to the atmosphere’s effect on fast-traveling objects.
Scientists say that they have also identified the cause of the bright flash. Upon re-entry, the celestial object experienced rapid evaporation of carbon dioxide and ice.
“The meteor began 46 miles above the Gulf of Mexico and 8 miles from Sarasote”, says Bill Cooke. He is the manager of the Meteoroid Environments Office.
SIMILAR EVENTS
Another occurrence much like this one took place several years ago, back in 2013. However, one major difference consists in the larger sizes of the rock which exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia. The celestial object was, in fact, a superbolide with a total mass of approximately 13,000 metric tons.
The explosion which following the re-entry was estimated to have a kinetic energy equal to roughly 30 atomic bombs. Even though nobody was seriously injured in the incident, several buildings in Chelyabinsk suffered substantial damage.
The Florida meteor exploded roughly 15 miles above the Earth. Also, apart from the scare, the incident was harmless. Furthermore, NASA experts also say that this is nothing new. Hence, Florida citizens should get used to these events.
It's not every day that a freedom of information request is this good, butrecently released FBI docshave it all: flying saucers, private meetings with intelligence officers, and a mysterious plane crash. By successfully requesting the file of noted conspiracy man and authorFred Lee Crisman, journalist Michael Best has identified a truly remarkable find: a real life X-file.
Long before the 90s show made us want to believe, the released documents in Fred Crisman’s file, labeled SM-X (Security Matter–X), made it all way to the director of the FBI at the time, J. Edgar Hoover. They contain investigation details belonging to one of the first cases of the American paranormal activity mythos. The FBI became involved in a case that was fueled by a post-war media raring to publish incredible stories in a world getting used to accelerating technological advancement. Much like today’s shifting media landscape, the early days of paranormal investigation were easy to take advantage of.
The events that were documented by the FBI in Crisman’s file are known as the Maury Island UFO hoax of June, 1947. Crisman was involved with “high weirdness,” according to a post by Best, that swirled around an island near Puget Sound, Washington. The reports helped solidify the imagery behind a couple of the UFO tropes we know and love. It was an early example of how folklore can turn very quickly into fake news and get widespread attention.
I asked Best about his thoughts as to why the files—which, the FBI has long claimeddo not exist—were named in such a way that, in complete coincidence, aligned with the paranormal show The X-Files. “I'm not sure, but if I had to guess it would be something like X for unknowns (as in variables),” he said to me in a Twitter message.
Crisman’s story of flying discs first appeared on the pages of the Tacoma Times in August. The reporter at the paper published the claims of Crisman and his business associate, Harold Dahl. Dahl was quoted as saying that, while patrolling the waters by boat near Maury Island, he witnessed multiple donut shaped discs appear in the sky. One of the discs, Dahl claimed, ejected molten material and allegedly crashed into and damaged the boat he was on. Dahl then explained that a person in a dark suit subsequently approached the scene and told them to keep quiet about the events. To many UFO historians, this was the beginning of the “Men in Black” conspiracy.
In an interview found in the FBI file, Crisman said he returned to the damaged boat the next day, where he collected ‘disc fragments' that became central to a hoax that spun widely out of control.
The FBI report included in the released documents explained that Crisman and Dahl sent samples of the ‘disc fragments’ to Chicago paranormal investigator Raymond Palmer for analysis. Palmer, who originally worked for Ziff-Davis’ Amazing Stories, was deeply involved in the earliest days of 20th century flying saucer myths and went on to publish Fate Magazine, which still investigates claims of the supernatural today.
After being notified by Palmer, Kenneth Arnold, a pilot who claimed to have witnessed the first widely publicised UFO sighting, got in touch with Dahl and Crisman. He travelled to Washington and arranged a meeting at the Winthrop Hotel in Tacoma with him, the two witnesses, and two Air Force intelligence officers.
This is where the story gets even weirder.
A day after the meeting with UFO witnesses, the B-25 Bomber carrying the two air force officers crashed and both were killed. Media immediately published the conclusions of anonymous phone calls (which were probably from Crisman, according to FBI findings detailed in the released documents) that the plane was carrying the disc fragments and it was deliberately shot down in a UFO cover up.
Those details were reported widely as fact by outlets like the Tacoma Times and Boise Statesman. The story made it all the way to the Chicago Times, which would become the Sun-Times the next year.
Of course, the FBI concluded the entire thing was a hoax for attention, with agents writing that there were no fragments on the plane. The flight, it said, came down due to an engine failure. Years later, Dahl eventually admitted the deception to a reporterafter being cajoled by his wife.
The FBI theorized that the explanation was much simpler than UFOs and government conspiracies. It was about money. The investigations found that Crisman and Dahl sought payment from the media outlets who wrote about their tall tale. It’s a slightly different refrain of today’s fake news issue, with greed inspiring the manipulation of mass communication.
This wouldn’t be the last America would hear of Fred Crisman. He would be later subpoenaed by Jim Garrison in the investigation of JFK assassination. During the federal investigation, forensic anthropologists had fingered him as being one of the “three tramps” arrested by Dallas PD on the same day as shooting of the president. He was later exonerated by the House Select Committee on Assassination. In the 60s, according to Aaron Gulyas in his book, The Paranormal and the Paranoid: Conspiratorial Science Fiction Television, Harold Dahl wrote to a UFO investigator that the show The Invaders had elements that were very similar to Crisman’s life and stories.
That isn’t to say the eventual rise of paranormal investigation was all bad. The same paranormal media outlets become known for skepticism and science. Fate magazine was not afraid to debunk the hoaxes or scams it covered in its investigations into the supernatural.
You can only hope our media outlets maintain that level of skepticism today.
FACEBOOKFacebook start vandaag met livestreams van 360 gradenvideo's. National Geographic bijt de spits af met beelden van de bewoners die het Mars Desert Research Station verlaten, meldtTweakers.net.
De livestreams werken op dezelfde manier als bestaande 360 gradenvideo's. Op een computer kan je rondkijken via muisbewegingen, op een smartphone beweeg je gewoon het toestel of sleep je met je vinger.
De eerste uitzending start vanavond om 21.00 uur op de Facebookpagina van National Geographic. Dan mogen de bewoners van het Mars Desert Research Station voor het eerst naar buiten, na een tachtig dagen lange simulatie van het leven op Mars.
De functie is daarna niet meteen beschikbaar voor iedereen. Facebook geeft aan dat een onbekend aantal andere pagina's in de komende maanden zal volgen, maar dat in de loop van 2017 alle pagina's en profielen aan de beurt komen.
Het ijs van Groenland zou wel eens heel wat minder stabiel kunnen zijn dan oorspronkelijk gedacht. Dat blijkt uit een studie die werden gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijke tijdschrift Nature. Ze onderzocht de bodem onder de massieve ijslaag en ontdekte dat het ijs minstens één keer gesmolten moet zijn geweest in de jongste 2,6 miljoen jaar. Over 2.500 jaar zou dat opnieuw het geval kunnen zijn. De zeespiegel zou dan zeven meter stijgen.
De studie gebruikte zogenaamde radioactieve isotopen om te schatten hoe lang de bodem onder het ijs ooit blootgesteld was aan de atmosfeer en kosmische straling. Die straling doet radionucliden ontstaan zoals beryllium-10 en aluminium-26 en die kunnen worden gemeten.
Bodem Het team van paleoklimatoloog Joerg Schaefer van het Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York ontdekte dat de bodem van centraal Groenland op zeker moment effectief ijsvrij moet zijn geweest. Wanneer exact of voor hoe lang konden de wetenschappers (nog) niet bepalen. Het is mogelijk dat de ijsvrije periode 1,1 miljoen jaar geleden begon en 280.000 jaar duurde, aldus Schaefer.
Een ander team onder leiding van geomorfoloog Paul Bierman van de universiteit van Vermont in Burlington kwam tot de conclusie dat het ijs op de bergtoppen in het oosten van Groenland er wel al zeker 7,5 miljoen jaar moet liggen. Dat is volgens experts niet noodzakelijk in tegenspraak met de eerste studie: het ijs kan overal in Groenland gesmolten zijn, behalve op de hoogst gelegen delen. Mocht het ijs op die bergtoppen tot 5 of 10 procent geslonken zijn, zou de rest van Groenland al vrij zijn geweest.
Stalen De volgende stap is nu nieuwe stalen proberen te bemachtigen en dat kan dankzij een nieuwe generatie van ijsboren die momenteel wordt ontwikkeld. Die zouden een snelle toegang moeten geven tot de rotsen onder het ijs van Groenland.
Shock claims massive ancient civilisation lies frozen deep beneath the Antarctic ice — and could even be Atlantis
Could there be a secret city under Antarctica?

THERE might just be a hidden city frozen underneath Antarctica, according to shock claims.
The huge continent is an icy mass, and is currently only inhabited by scientific researchers and penguins thanks to its freezing temperatures, reports The Sun.
Rumours of a hidden city have been floating about for years, as conspiracy theorists and even some scientists claim the freezing continent is actually the home of the legendary Lost City of Atlantis.
One scientific theory claims that once upon a time Antarctica was ice-free and home to an ancient civilisation.
The theory, called crustal displacement, alleges that movements in the Earth’s crust meant that large parts of Antarctica were ice-free 12,000 years ago and people could have lived there.
Allegedly, a society could have existed “prehistory”, coming to an end with the last Ice Age which froze over the continent.
And this could have been Atlantis, a mythical city founded by people who were half god and half human which was first mentioned by Greek philosopher Plato in 360BC.
It’s a lofty theory, but one with plenty of intrigue.

Speculation over the location of the legendary long-lost city is rife, with others believing it to have been near the Greek island of Santorini.
Antarctica’s secret city was apparently “confirmed” by an ancient map called the Piri Reis map, compiled in 1513 from military intelligence.
It appears to show the Antarctic coast hundreds of years before it was discovered, but was denounced by many scholars at the time.
However, earlier this year photos from NASA appeared to reveal traces of a human settlement underneath the ice.
The pictures, taken using remote sensing photography for NASA’s Operation IceBridge mission to Antarctica, show what online sleuths believe could be a city.
Google Earth images also appeared to show a pyramid poking out of the tundra, with enthusiasts claiming that it is proof humanity once lived in the area and built a man-made structure.
Conspiracy theorists went wild earlier this year when a video claiming to be from the lost city emerged.
It appeared to show extensive ancient ruins hidden in the ice, and was a video supposedly “left behind” by a California TV crew who have been missing since 2002.
Archaeologist Jonathan Gray claimed that the US government is trying to block the video from being seen because it reveals there is a “massive archaeological dig under way two miles beneath the ice”.

But that’s not the wildest claim — with several online websites claiming that there is a city in Antarctica and Hitler knew about it, making it a secret Nazi base.
The wild claims state that the Nazis claimed an area of Antarctica as German territory and sent an expedition there.
They then allegedly mapped the area and discovered a network of rivers and caves, one of which led to a large geothermal lake.
A city-sized base was built there, called “Base 22 or New Berlin”, and supposedly was home to not only Nazis but also the Illuminati.
However, things get even weirder, with suggestions that the Germans discovered abandoned alien technology or contacted aliens, and used it to make super weapons.
And some people think the rumoured base still exists, with the Germans, aliens, and the Illuminati planning to launch a New World Order from it.
Whatever beings may be inhabiting the base, they’ll need to make sure to wrap up warm — with one unlucky Antarctic explorer revealing this week he is suffering from the painful-sounding condition Polar Penis.

The ‘Lost City’ of Antarctica Shock Claims Massive Ancient Civilization Lies Frozen Beneath Mile of Antarctic Ice – and Could Even Be Atlantis
Stillness in the Storm Editor:It is quite interesting that the day after Corey Goode and David Wilcock release their update saying that the media will begin to feature stories regarding the discovery of ancient ruins found beneath the ice of Antarctica, the following article is published. It talks about many of the same elements as was discussed by Wilcock and Goode, but does not explicitly state that their update was the source for The Sun article.
The Sun is a UK daily tabloid newspaper, which means that wild and fringe stories regularly appear there, and as a result, information is often disregarded by the masses merely by being showcased in the magazine. Therefore, this coverage could be part of a “damage control” effort to smear those treating the story of ancient ruins in the southernmost continent seriously.
Goode said in his update that an active campaign to discredit secret space program whistleblowers has already begun.
I was able to confirm through other sources that these three individuals were not attempting to discredit me. I then contacted them for a full download. (source)
Goode and Wilcock also discussed a partial disclosure agenda that is actively being pushed at the moment. It involves the release of only some of the whole truth that has been intentionally withheld from the public for centuries, such as crimes against humanity, child trafficking, and pedophilia, the existence of extraterrestrial presences and history, free energy and antigravity technology, and much more.
Under the partial disclosure plan, certain aspects of what has been hidden will be revealed to satisfy the growing demand for the truth within the awakening masses. But the full data set will remain hidden for at least 100 years, ensuring that the most damning information that implicates criminal elements within society escape the people’s justice. These same criminal elements are the ones behind the secret space program, the banking system, destruction of the environment, and the exploitation of the Earth and beyond.
WHAT IS PARTIAL DISCLOSURE SHAPING UP TO LOOK LIKE?
The Partial Disclosure plan includes some admission of wrong-doing, an outing and punishing of mid-level people, and a beneficial global financial reset.
The cosmic aspect of the plan appears to involve three key revelations, perhaps in different stages:
A formal, public disclosure of the MIC SSP. They have two large, cloaked orbital platforms, flying black triangle craft, and the ability to travel throughout our solar system.
The unveiling of ancient, high-tech ruins in Antarctica that have been newly excavated. This will prove that “Atlantis” was very real, and far more advanced than we thought.
The revealing of extremely ancient ruins – over 1.8 billion years old – within the Earth and throughout our solar system, often made of a crystalline transparent aluminum alloy.
Although this sounds pretty and would be a great leap forward, this is still only a “Partial Disclosure” that leaves gaping holes in our understanding. (source)
Assuming that the above claims by Goode are true, the following article by The Sun would service two goals. For now, it will act as a way to discredit people talking about ancient ruins and secret bases in Antarctica (Goode and other whistleblowers), even though former astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Secretary of State John Kerry both went there recently.
Later, after Goode and other SSP whistleblowers, like William Tompkins, have been thoroughly discredited, an official disclosure of the Antarctic ruins can begin, likely involving exposé’s of documented evidence, like videos, photographs, and artifacts.
This more official disclosure will come from hand-picked operatives within another secret space program run by the military industrial complex (MIC) that is far less aware of all the activities occurring on Earth and beyond. Goode contends that this MIC SSP is completely unaware of the greater SSP, which has colonies all throughout the solar system, trade agreements with over 900 extraterrestrial groups, and has technology that is similar to what is depicted in the science fiction series Star Trek. Humanity has the ability to travel the stars with great speed and precision.
What ultimately plays out remains unclear, but there are too many correlations between the full disclosure narrative and the below article to dismiss them as coincidence.

Ligt er een verloren stad onder het ijs van Antarctica?
Sommigen beweren dat onder het ijs van Antarctica mogelijk een verborgen stad kan worden gevonden. Dat schrijft nieuwssite News.com.au.
Er doen al jaren geruchten de ronde over een verborgen stad. Complottheoretici en zelfs sommige wetenschappers claimen dat het weleens zou kunnen gaan om Atlantis.
Volgens een theorie was Antarctica zo’n 12.000 jaar geleden ijsvrij en leefde er een oude beschaving.
Piri Reis-kaart
Die beschaving zou Atlantis hebben gebouwd, een mythische stad waarover de Griekse filosoof Plato al in 360 voor Christus schreef.
Er wordt de laatste jaren druk gespeculeerd over de locatie van de legendarische stad. Sommigen geloven dat de stad zich bij het Griekse eiland Santorini bevindt.
Op de Piri Reis-kaart uit 1513 is de kust van Antarctica al te zien, honderden jaren voordat het continent officieel werd ontdekt.
Piramide
Eerder dit jaar zouden op foto’s van de NASA sporen van een menselijke nederzetting onder het ijs zijn gevonden.
Er wordt gezegd dat op de foto’s van de Operation IceBridge-missie een stad is te zien. Eerder claimden sommigen op Google Earth een piramide te hebben ontdekt op Antarctica.
Begin dit jaar dook er een filmpje op dat volgens complottheoretici was gemaakt in de verloren stad.
Vermist
De beelden zouden zijn gemaakt door een cameraploeg uit Californië die sinds 2002 wordt vermist.
Archeoloog Jonathan Gray claimde dat de Amerikaanse overheid probeert te voorkomen dat het filmpje wordt verspreid.
Hitler
Diverse websites claimen zelfs dat Hitler al op de hoogte was van het bestaan van de stad en er een geheime nazi-basis van maakte.
Deze basis zou ‘Basis 22 of Nieuw-Berlijn’ zijn genoemd en naast nazi’s ook de Illuminati hebben gehuisvest.
In oktober werden nog resten van een nazi-basis gevonden in het Noordpoolgebied.
Op internet circuleren beelden van wat volgens sommigen kilometers hoge gebouwen op Mars zijn, schrijft de Daily Express.
Het YouTube-kanaal Mundodesconocido vestigde als eerste de aandacht op de ontdekking. Volgens het kanaal zouden de structuren gebouwd kunnen zijn door intelligente aliens.
“Tijdens ons onderzoek naar beelden van Mars troffen we onlangs een rij enorme torens aan in het gebied rond Terra Meridiani,” valt te lezen in de beschrijving van de video, die inmiddels ruim een half miljoen keer is bekeken.
Meer dan een kilometer
“De vreemde eigenschappen van de torens doen ons vermoeden dat ze een buitenaardse oorsprong hebben,” klonk het verder.
Scott C. Waring van de website UFO Sightings Daily zei dat de rode planeet vol staat met gebouwen.
“YouTube-gebruiker Mundodesconocido geeft hier een fantastisch voorbeeld,” zei hij. “Hij ontdekte drie torens die meer dan een kilometer hoog lijken te zijn.”
Rotsformaties
Eerder dachten alienjagers al ommuurde steden en nederzettingen te hebben gevonden op Mars.
Wetenschappers van de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA claimen dat het slechts ongewone rotsformaties zijn.
Zij zeggen dat de vermeende ontdekkingen het gevolg zijn van pareidolie, waarbij dingen die gezien worden op een abnormale, met veel fantasie gepaard gaande wijze worden geïnterpreteerd.
The phrase “quasicrystal from outer space” sounds like the title to a science fiction thriller with a New Age twist. Buta study published Thursdayin Scientific Reportsannounced that a bonafide quasicrystal has indeed been discovered within the grainy remains of a meteorite found in the Khatyrka region of the Russian far east, five years ago. The paper marks the first time that a type of quasicrystal has been identified in nature before it was created artificially in a lab.
You might be asking: That’s neat, but what the heck is a quasicrystal? An understandable question. First identified by material scientist Dan Shechtman in 1982—who won the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery—quasicrystals are crystal-like arrangements of atoms that defy expectations of crystalline behavior with their “forbidden” rotational symmetries.
Regular crystal structures are periodically arranged in neatly fitted shapes like cubes (four-fold symmetry) or triangles (three-fold symmetry), but quasicrystals are arranged in non-periodic patterns such as pentagonal, five-fold symmetries.
Patricia Thiel, a chemistry and materials science expert based at Iowa State University, used this helpful analogy of tiling a floor to explain the unique properties of quasicrystals in this NPR article: “If you want to cover your bathroom floor, your tiles can be rectangles or triangles or squares or hexagons,” she said. “Any other simple shape won’t work, because it will leave a gap. In a quasicrystal, imagine atoms are at the points of the objects you’re using. What Danny [Shechtman] discovered is that pentagonal symmetry works.”
It should be impossible, but material science is full of surprises. While quasicrystals are most often studied via artificial synthesis in labs, the Khatyrka meteorite demonstrates that they can form naturally. Two previous quasicrystal forms have already been identified in the fragments of this outer space visitor, but both of those arrangements had been synthesized prior to their discovery in nature. However, the latest version features icosahedral symmetry, an exotic pattern featuring 60 points of rotational symmetry, somewhat like that of a soccer ball.

Paul Steinhardt, who serves as the Albert Einstein professor in science at Princeton University, was one of the authors of the new research. When I asked him why this one meteorite, which only survives as a few stray grains, seems to have such an abundance of quasicrystals, he told me there’s no simple answer.
“There are perhaps one or two other groups [of researchers] at most searching,” Steinhardt said. “Since we found an example, we have been focusing on understanding how this particular one formed since that will tell us something about the likelihood of finding others. But it is very very early times for these kinds of studies.”
“What is encouraging is that we have already found three different types of quasicrystals in the same meteorite, and this new one has a chemical composition that has never been seen for a quasicrystal,” he added. “That suggests there is more to be found, perhaps more quasicrystals that we did not know were possible before.”
Scientists have come a long way towards a better understanding of quasicrystals since their discovery some three decades ago, and they have found many practical applications for them in everything from frying pans to LED lights. But as Steinhardt emphasized, much of the field is still in its infancy, and there is much left to discover. Stay tuned.
‘Onmogelijk’ kristal uit de ruimte gevonden in Russische meteoriet
In een meteoriet die is neergekomen in het uiterste oosten van Rusland is vijf jaar geleden een ‘onmogelijk’ kristal gevonden.
Het is voor het eerst dat een zogeheten quasikristal is aangetroffen in de natuur voordat het werd geproduceerd in een lab, zo blijkt uit een studie die is gepubliceerd in Scientific Reports.
Quasikristallen zijn materialen waarbij de kristalstructuur perfect is geordend, maar zich nooit herhaalt.
Onmogelijk
Bij quasikristallen komt bijvoorbeeld een vijf- of tienvoudige symmetrie voor, die bij gewone kristallen onmogelijk is.
Daarom werd lange tijd gedacht dat quasikristallen niet van nature konden voorkomen.
De structuur werd in 1982 ontdekt door Daniel Shechtman, die daarvoor in 2011 de Nobelprijs voor de Scheikunde ontving.
Verrassingen
Quasikristallen zouden onmogelijk moeten zijn, maar de wetenschap zit vol verrassingen.
De meteoriet die in Rusland is gevonden, laat zien dat ze wel degelijk in de natuur kunnen worden gevormd.
In de fragmenten van de ruimterots zijn eerder al twee andere quasikristallen vormen ontdekt, maar die waren allebei al geproduceerd in een laboratorium.
Veel te vroeg
Professor Paul Steinhardt van de Princeton-universiteit, die meeschreef aan het onderzoek, zegt niet te weten waarom deze ene meteoriet zoveel quasikristallen bevat.
“Sinds we dit ene quasikristal hebben gevonden, proberen we vooral te begrijpen hoe het zich heeft kunnen vormen,” zei hij.
“Dat zal ons iets vertellen over de kans dat we er meer gaan vinden,” voegde hij toe. “Maar het is nog veel te vroeg voor dit soort studies.”
Nog veel te ontdekken
Steinhardt zei al drie verschillende soorten quasikristallen te hebben gevonden in dezelfde meteoriet.
De nieuwste soort heeft een chemische samenstelling die nog nooit eerder is waargenomen.
“Dat wijst erop dat er nog meer kunnen worden gevonden, misschien meer quasikristallen waarvan we eerder dachten dat ze onmogelijk zouden zijn,” aldus de professor.
I dare say, most of you reading this will never have heard of Paul Ascough. There is nothing wrong with that but I can personally vouch for him. I have known Paul for over twenty years, and, unfortunately, we accidentally lost contact with each other for far too long. Earlier in 2016, I was extremely pleased to meet up with him again and even more pleased to discover he was just about to publish his first book. In order to discover who Paul Ascough is, and what his book is all about, I took time out to interview him, recently, the result of which is as follows.
Philip Mantle: Who is Paul Ascough? Tell us a bit about yourself?
Paul Ascough
Paul Ascough: I was born in West Yorkshire to a working class family. I left school with little in the way of qualifications. For some reason, I became interested in medicine and began my career as a student nurse, attending college and completing my training for a State Registered Nurse qualification. After a spell as an occupational nurse for the Coal Board, and working in the road laying team underground, I joined the Army as an infantry medic, rising to the dizzy heights of Staff Sergeant and seeing service in many countries.
Though serving as a medic throughout my career, I was a trained observer for the reconnaissance platoon teaching aircraft and vehicle recognition. I was fortunate to be stationed in Berlin during the cold war, crossing over to East Berlin at Checkpoint Charlie on several occasions, and observing the Russian helicopters observing us over the divide of the famous wall and the bizarre open spaces of no-mans land with its goon towers, mines and tank traps.
Finally, leaving the Army and joining the Yorkshire Ambulance Service, where I have remained as a Paramedic until my retirement.
Mantle: The Real Story is the title of your book. Could you give us an overview of the book, please?
Ascough: I have called my book The Real Story because this is the way I perceive our place in the world to be. It is my story of personal experiences with religion, the paranormal and UFOs, that have led me to the conclusions reached in the book, of what I believe the reality and the truth of what the real story actually is.
Mantle: How and when did you first become interested in the UFO phenomenon?
Ascough: I first became interested in UFOs at about 11 years old. I sat in the garden as it became dark, with my brother and my father, who was pointing out one of the major constellations to us, when 2 very bright pearly white UFOs came out of a bank of cloud in front of us then just stopped dead. They were completely still for not much more than a second, then were immediately moving away from us, no noise, nothing flashing, no vapour trail, just a little teardrop shaped tail, as they moved. Brilliant white light from them reflected on the clouds. The immediate feeling I got was that they hadn’t meant to be seen and that’s why they stopped and changed direction. It was from that moment that I wanted to know how they could be real, defying the laws of physics and blatantly on show to anyone who would have been looking.
Mantle: Has being in the military helped you in your research of the UFO phenomenon?
Ascough: Definitely, because you learn how to be a better and more objective observer, how to use landscapes, the background and the foreground, the weather, the cover, type and height of clouds, the wind as well as other atmospheric phenomenon. Then you learn about the different types of aircraft, the jets, turboprops, propellers and rotors, military, private, cargo and commercial, large and small, fast and slow, there are thousands of them.
Mantle: Whilst compiling your research for The Real Story did any one UFO sighting or close encounter case stand out to you and why?
Ascough: Good question. A high strangeness, close encounter abduction case I investigated for BUFORA in 1995 remains a highlight, simply because it was an opportunity to try and help a number of innocent and terrified individuals come to a better understanding and acceptance of what had happened to them.
Mantle: Do you have anything to say to the skeptics who say ufology is a complete waste of time?
Ascough: I do have something to say. Not to ridicule or belittle people who have been subjected to an experience of which they have had no control whatsoever. Witnesses and abductees will tell you that it’s unequivocal that what they have seen or experienced was so weird or bizarre that it could have been nothing other than alien. Almost without question, the abductees will say they wish they could turn back the clock to avoid what they experienced happening at all and that they previously had no interest in the UFO phenomenon. Many of these witnesses have a lot to lose by going public. And finally, why would thousands of people have a reason to lie, with nothing to gain? Many Ufologists give up a great deal of time, and sacrifice, to further our understanding of what is a very subjective and incredibly complex subject.
Mantle: What is the future in UFO research for you. More books, more research?
Ascough: Always more research, always more research. Having written this concise history of events in my life, maybe its time to expand on some of the theories, more stories and experiences, with more in depth explanations to help the reader gain a better understanding.
Mantle: In your opinion, how do we keep moving forward with UFO research?
Ascough: We can only keep moving forward by continuing research and placing as much evidence as we can into the public domain. There are some exceptional investigators and authors out there who will continue to educate us all. Fortunately, modern technology is on our side, and as more and more of the population are constantly carrying recording devices, then more and more evidence is slowly accumulating on the internet. This, combined with the world governments becoming more open, will, I hope, lead to a time in the not too distant future when we should see a general acceptance of the UFO phenomenon by everyone.
Mantle: Paul, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and good look with your new book, The Real Story.
END OF INTERVIEW
It is always good news when a new author joins the ranks and Paul is no exception to that. His book The Real Storyis only in kindle at the moment on Amazon. Why not give it a try and listen to another researcher’s point of view.
Giant UFO Found Hiding In Orion's Nebula Dec 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 11, 2016
Location of sighting: Orion Nebula
This UFO was reported by UFOmni2012 of Youtube and may be one of the largest UFOs we have reported in a while. How big exactly? If you lined up Earth 100X then you would have a good start. This is one big UFO. Anything seen in Nebulas are usually tremendously huge for us to see from Earth.
Pink UFO Over Brazil Causes Excitement As It Begins To Form Cloud Around It, Dec 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 6, 2016 Location of sighting: Caxias, Brazil This UFO was seen making a cloud around it to hide both its color and its shape from the onlookers below, but it was slow to do so. Lucky for us, someone in Caxias noticed it and got a short video of it so we can really appreciate its detail. Most smaller UFOs can create clouds to hide it. It sounds silly, but it true. They have rules, laws or if you watch Star Trek...Prime Directives that dictate what they are allowed and not allowed to do on planets where the intelligent species is still primitive and developing. If you watch social media lately, you will agree, we are primitive and still developing. Scott C. Waring
Astronomers May Have Witnessed the Birth of Planets 400 Lightyears Away
NASA/JPL-Caltech/T. Pyle
IN BRIEF
Astronomers have discovered three rings surrounding a star about 400 light years away exhibiting activity that suggests planetary formation within.
New technology is greatly boosting the scope of the universe available for study by astronomers giving better clues of our origin to help illuminate our future.

MYSTERIOUS VOID
For the first time ever, a team of astronomers from Rice University have mapped gases in three dark rings surrounding a young star almost 400 light years away, known as HD 163296. The rings are spaces in the star’s protoplanetary disk that are devoid of dust particles. This implies that planets are forming. However, while the two outer rings are consistent with having been cleared up by revolving new planets, the innermost ring holds a mystery.
The innermost ring contains a substantially higher concentration of three carbon monoxide isotopes than the outer two, suggesting that there’s no planet there. What’s clearing up that ring, however, is still unknown.
“The inner gap is mysterious,” lead astronomer Andrea Isella said. “Whatever is creating the structure is removing the dust but there’s still a lot of gas.”

“Of the material that formed this disk, about 1 percent is dust particles and 99 percent is gas,” Isella said. “So if you only see the dust, you cannot tell if a ring was formed by a planet or another phenomenon. In order to distinguish and really tell if there are planets or not, you need to see what the gas is doing, and in this study, for the first time, we can see both the dust and the gas.”
TO THE ALMA
So what could be causing the void if not a planet? While there are very few theories to explain the void, the researchers have already been granted access to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile to continue their study, which was published in Physical Review Letters. The ALMA is, after all, also dedicated to the study of protoplanetary systems. These efforts will help us understand how planets like the Earth formed.
“It means our topic is considered by the astronomical community to be one of its highest priorities,” he said. As a next step, the team will be studying the chemistry within the disk and rings, and will be surveying 20 more stars for comparison. The results are expected to be out by September next year.
Tools such as the ALMA and the upcoming mega-powered James Webb telescope are helping us better understand our universe. Knowing how its formed is key to understanding where we are going.
It’s been quite the year for skywatchers, and December is closing it out with one more incredible supermoon. Gracing the sky on Wednesday, December 15, it’s a special spectacle in the sky you surely won’t want to miss.
The December supermoon is also called the “Cold Moon,” and will occur just one day after the moon reaches perigee, which is the point in its orbit that it is closest to Earth. The Old Farmer’s Almanac notes that this month’s supermoon is called the “Full Cold Moon” because it is associated with the month the winter cold is mostly felt. Native American tribes also refer to this supermoon as the “Long Nights Moon” because it happens near the winter solstice, which is the night with the least amount of daylight.
December’s supermoon will be extra special, as it will coincide with the peak of the Geminid meteor shower, NASA said. The light from the supermoon will reduce the visibility of faint meteors five to ten-fold. Stargazers will be lucky enough to see a dozen Geminids per hour during its peak.
Along with the last supermoon of the year, there will be a meteor shower occurring on the exact same evening. This gives skywatchers the chance to double down on the breathtaking beauty that is Mother Nature.
The Geminid meteor shower will reach its peak around 2 am local time on December 15, right when the supermoon will be angled in the sky to provide a sensational glow to us earthlings. The Slooh Community Observatory will host a webcast for the Geminid shower that you can watch live on Space.com.
The only downside of the supermoon being out all night is that it has the chance to subdue the Geminids, which can generate up to 120 meteors per hour, five to ten fold, according to NASA. This means you may only get to see a dozen shooting stars per hour. But don’t let that sway you.
You can ensure visibility by steering clear of any areas illuminated by artificial lighting. Try to get to a naturally dark area to get the best of the night show’s shooting stars. It’s also suggested that you give your eyes approximately 20 minutes to adjust to the dark skies and focus on the stars above.
“You need no special equipment – just a dark, open sky and maybe a sleeping bag to keep warm. Plan to sprawl back in a hammock, lawn chair, pile of hay or blanket on the ground. Lie down in comfort, and look upward. Man, it must be SO nice to live in rural, suburban areas. Unfortunately, I won’t be sprawling out on a hammock or a lawn chair to catch the supermoon and the meteor shower.”
The report notes that it’s not necessary to find the constellation Gemini to view the meteor shower, however, since the meteors will streak the sky in various different directions, as well as in front of many age-old constellations. You will even have the opportunity to see the shower when looking directly away from its radiant point, but, if you follow the path of any Geminid meteor backward, it will ultimately bring you to the constellation Gemini the Twins.
Need another reason to geek out? Jupiter will rise in the east at about the same time the Geminid radiant reaches its highest point in the night. So, along with admiring the Supermoon and the meteor shower, you also have the opportunity to view this sole visible planet from 2 am until dawn!
On 8 July 1947, a newspaper called the Roswell Daily Record published a front page article that sparked America’s most infamous brush with aliens.The headline read: “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer On Ranch in Roswell Region.”
Colonel Phillip Corso, Sr. was an Army intelligence officer who served on Eisenhower’s National Security Council. Following his 21-year military career, he served as a military analyst. He made a public figure of himself by acknowledging that he personally witnessed deceased extraterrestrials from the Roswell crash.
In the following video, he discusses this initial encounter, as well as having seen UFOs travel at 4,000 miles an hour on radar. He discusses how, during his employment in R&D, he was given fragments of extraterrestrial technologies from various crashes. His job was to seed industry with these technologies, informing them that they were from earthly foreign sources.
Many conspiracy theorists call the Roswell incident to be one of the most obvious pieces of evidence covered up by the U.S. government regarding extra-terrestrial life on Earth. It is accounts like Corso’s that fuel such thoughts.
Corso describes the deceased aliens as having a brain completely different than that of humans. They had no nose or mouth, no digestive system, and no sex organs. “They are more humanoid beings that anything else,” he says in the video. “Their spaceship is composed of durable metals and are biological in nature; nothing like we every seen.”
Now in his 80s, he attributes the burying of the information to fear, but says we can no longer rely on that, because it’s a distant reality.
“People want to know the truth,” he says, urging that the young people of America have a right to know. He says, contrary to popular belief, they won’t panic. “They aren’t going to pull their hair out, they want to hear this.”
Throughout the interview, it seems Corso is beyond aggravation for what could have been, mostly because he has come to terms with the fact that, when his UFO sightings occurred, he lived in a time when people were more accepting of what the government told, and didn’t tell them. Today? not so much.
“They are sick of being lied to,” he says. And goes on to say that, because the government is so big and so vast, if you leave important information alone, it will cover itself up. This is perhaps the most notable point of his interview. In a day and age where there is so much changing so quickly, yet people are finally beginning to have a voice, question the government, politics, and so much more, we need to take advantage of this newfound strength, boldness and individuality and use it to create communities that value the truth.
Colonel Philip Corso, author of the book The Day After Roswell, which discusses his revelations concerning his role in a classified program to seed extraterrestrial technologies into the private sector, is one of the most vital whistleblowers to date. Give this interview, and many more of his, a watch.
Luitenant-kolonel die diende onder president Eisenhower doet boekje open over Roswell-aliens
De Amerikaanse luitenant-kolonel Philip Corso wordt gezien als een belangrijke getuige in de zaak rond de Roswell-crash.
In de bestseller The Day After Roswell (1997), die een jaar voor zijn dood verscheen, beweerde Corso dat hij als hoofd van een afdeling van het Pentagon de beschikking had over buitenaardse technologie die uit een neergestorte UFO was gehaald.
In zijn boek schreef Corso dat de meeste hoge functionarissen van het Pentagon en hun belangrijkste stafleden er allemaal van op de hoogte waren dat veel nieuwe projecten gebruikmaakten van technologie uit neergestorte UFO’s.
Grote bedrijven
Hij zou als militair opdracht hebben gekregen om met de technologie naar verschillende grote Amerikaanse bedrijven te gaan.
Corso, die onder president Eisenhower lid was van de Nationale Veiligheidsraad, noemt in zijn boek zaken als laser optics, glass fibre optics, integrated circuits – gerelateerd aan de computer en aanverwante technologie – en night vision equipment.
Alien
Dit zouden eigenlijk technologieën zijn die door hem van de buitenaardsen naar de Amerikaanse bedrijven werden gebracht en vanaf dat moment verder zijn ontwikkeld.
In zijn oorspronkelijke manuscript stond ook dat hij in 1957 zelf een alien had ontmoet in een verlaten mijn. Hij zei telepathisch met het wezen te hebben gecommuniceerd.
NASA-wetenschapper: “Ons universum is een simulatie”
Is de werkelijkheid eigenlijk een simulatie, gecreëerd door een geavanceerde computer? Wetenschappers en filosofen discussiëren al jaren over deze theorie.
Richard Terrile van het Jet Propulsion Laboratory van de NASA denkt dat er over enkele decennia in onze samenleving meer kunstmatige entiteiten zijn die in simulaties leven dan mensen.
Als er meer zelfbewuste entiteiten zijn in gesimuleerde realiteiten, wordt de kans steeds kleiner dat we in een echte wereld leven.
Computerspel
Als je aanneemt dat er in de toekomst meer digitale mensen zullen zijn die in gesimuleerde omgevingen leven, is het volgens de NASA-wetenschapper goed mogelijk dat we daar nu al deel van uitmaken.
Redenen om aan te nemen dat het universum een hologram is, zijn dat het zich wiskundig gedraagt en net als een computerspel (pixels) opgedeeld is in stukjes (subatomaire deeltjes).
“Zelfs dingen die we zien als constant – zoals tijd, energie, ruimte, volume – zijn gebonden aan een limiet,” zei hij.
“Als dat het geval is, is ons universum zowel berekenbaar als eindig,” vervolgde hij. “Deze eigenschappen maken het mogelijk dat het universum gesimuleerd kan worden.”
Buitengewoon onwaarschijnlijk
Het is volgens de NASA-wetenschapper ‘buitengewoon onwaarschijnlijk’ dat we niet in een simulatie leven.
Wie heeft die simulatie dan gemaakt? “Onze toekomstige zelf,” zei Terrile.
Het inzicht dat we waarschijnlijk in een simulatie leven is net zo baanbrekend als de ontdekking dat de aarde niet het centrum van het universum is, aldus de wetenschapper.
Meetprobleem
De simulatie-hypothese kan ook een aantal eigenaardigheden verklaren, waaronder het meetprobleem in de kwantummechanica.
Dat probleem gaat over de invloed die waarneming heeft op de realiteit. Terrile ziet ons als bewuste spelers in een videospel.
Hiernamaals
De simulatie-theorie heeft ‘mooie en diepe’ implicaties. De theorie legt de wetenschappelijke basis voor een soort van hiernamaals of ruimere realiteit boven onze eigen wereld.
Daarnaast houdt dit in dat we binnenkort onze eigen simulaties kunnen maken. “We kunnen dan creëren wat we maar willen en die werelden bevolken,” besloot Terrile.
BEGINNEN VOORSPELLINGEN VAN EDGAR CAYCE UIT TE KOMEN? ( VIDEO )
De ziener of slapende profeet Edgar Cayce is misschien wel één van de meest accurate waarzeggers die de wereld ooit heeft gekend.
Hij voorspelt onder andere dat een fiks deel van de wereld onder water zal verdwijnen en dat dit begint met het “afbreken van de condities” in de Zuidelijke Oceaan/Antarctica.
Iets dat ook door Cayce wordt voorspeld zijn de aardveranderingen en de nogal dramatische gevolgen voor sommige delen van de aarde.
Het westelijk deel van Amerika zal afbreken. Het grootste deel van Japan zal in de zee verdwijnen. Het bovenste deel van Europa zal in een oogwenk veranderen.
Eén van de tekenen die Cayce geeft voor het echt beginnen van die aardveranderingen is het beginnen van het “afbreken van condities” in de Zuid Zee. De Zuid Zee als zodanig bestaat niet, maar algemeen wordt aangenomen dat hij de Zuidpool Zee of Zuidelijke Oceaan bedoeld.
Dan zien we in het nieuws hoe een bijna 130 kilometer lange scheur in het ijs van de Larsen C ijsplaat op Antarctica grote gevolgen kan hebben.
Een ijsblok zo groot als half Vlaanderen staat op afbreken. Het is een stuk dat zou afbreken van een nog grotere ijsschots. Frank Pattyn glacioloog aan de Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) vertelt er vandaag meer over in de Ochtend.
Het 128-km lange brok ijs dat op punt staat af te breken behoort tot de Larsen C ijsplaat, de grootste plaat in het oostelijk deel van Antartica. De afbraak van ijsplaten is een natuurlijk fenomeen, maar bij de Larsen C ijsplaat ligt het een stuk gevoeliger: de ijsplaat houdt een enorme gletsjer tegen om de oceaan in te glijden. De afbraak zou een aanzienlijke stijging in de zeespiegel kunnen veroorzaken. “Dat kan tot drie meter gaan over de hele wereld, ook bij ons. Dat is onheilspellend,” waarschuwt Pattyn.
We leven in een tijd waarin onze planeet heftige veranderingen doormaakt. Zoals we eerder schreven, is het niet alleen onze planeet die daar last van heeft, maar alle planeten in ons zonnestelsel.
Dit alles heeft niets te maken met de door de mens veroorzaakte klimaatopwarming hoax, dat onder andere wordt aangetoond door het feit dat het ijs op de noordpool van onder af smelt en niet van bovenaf.
Wat we zien zijn verschuivingen in het klimaat op aarde. Op plekken die bekend stonden als koud zien nu de ene warmtegolf na de andere zoals bijvoorbeeld Alaska en anderzijds is tegenwoordig sneeuw te verwachten in Saoedi Arabië en zoals vorige week voor de eerste keer ooit, ook sneeuw in Koeweit.
Het klimaat verschuift, al dan niet veroorzaakt door een naderende planeet en een aarde die onder invloed daarvan enigszins is gekanteld, waardoor alle weerpatronen op aarde verschuiven.
Zelfs bij ons is het merkbaar wanneer je zoals dit jaar regelmatig temperaturen hebt boven de 30 graden eind september. Het voorjaar daarentegen schijnt langer koud te zijn en maar moeilijk op gang te komen.
Dit alles heeft natuurlijk gevolgen voor het ijs op Groenland en Antarctica. Als al het ijs op Groenland zou smelten, zou de zeespiegel stijgen met ongeveer 8 meter en wanneer dan ook nog eens het ijs op Antarctica zou smelten, gaat het over een stijging van de zeespiegel van ongeveer 65 meter.
Men maakt plannen en Deltawerken en andere knappe bouwwerken, gebaseerd op berekeningen waarbij misschien wel rekening wordt gehouden met een stijging van de zeespiegel, maar niet in die mate waar je over spreekt zoals beschreven door de Belgische deskundige Frank Pattyn.
Als de dijken het water niet langer tegen zouden houden en het waterpeil ongeveer met zes meter stijgen, dan ziet er Nederland er ongeveer zo uit:
Wil je weten wat de situatie precies is voor jouw postcode, klik dan hier en vul rechts bovenin het zoekveld je postcode in.
Dat er zoiets zou kunnen gebeuren, is voor de meeste mensen moeilijk voor te stellen. Maar, we leven in bijzondere tijden waarin regelmatig dingen gebeuren die in onze recente geschiedenis nog niet eerder zijn voorgevallen.
De volgende video laat zien welke tien landen ter wereld het meeste risico lopen wanneer de zeespiegel zou gaan stijgen.
Hopelijk zal het nooit gebeuren dat het grootste deel van ons land onderwater komt te staan en dat Edgar Cayce deze keer ongelijk heeft, maar het kan geen kwaad om er toch af en toe even bij stil te staan dat een groot deel van de bevolking onder de zeespiegel woont en dát we in bijzondere tijden leven.
In the search for alien life, conspiracy theorists claim they have spotted a UFO crossing the moon.
The object appeared as the Miami Observatory in Florida streamed a live feed of the moon's surface earlier this month.
It is unclear what the dark disc-shaped object is, but a well-known UFO enthusiast suggests that it is a craft created by an intelligent species.

The video was re-posted on YouTube by UFOVNI UFO Sightings, who named it 'UFO crossing the moon'.
Scott C Waring, a well-known UFO enthusiast, wrote on his website, UFOsightingsdaily.com: 'It's not a man-made object, because there are not solar panel wings on it to gather energy.
'There are no antennas on it for transmitting, also the surface is not completely round, but has a rough edge to it.
'Looks like a bio-mechanically grown UFO.'
But YouTube users seem less convinced.
User fantis07 commented: 'It looks like a tennis ball thrown before the telescope! ', while another said: 'It's just a rock orbiting the moon...'

UFOs appearing on the moon are a favourite topic for conspiracy theorists.
In November, a clip appeared on YouTube claiming to show 'hundreds' of UFOs taking off from the lunar surface at once.
The video claimed to give a clear view of these spaceships going around and behind the lunar surface, which some think are stationed on the moon to protect it from humans - although it could be nothing more than an optical illusion.

DID ALIENS BUILD A LANDING SITE ON THE MOON?
A 3.5-mile (5.6km) high structure was spotted in images from Google Moon, with some believing it to be a 'launch pad' that was constructed by aliens.
Now, however, a researcher working with Nasa's LROC moon-mapping mission claims the strange mark is nothing more than a crater within a crater.
Moon puzzle! Alien hunter spots bizarre antenna object on moon
A conspiracy website claimed the spire was 'probably built to accommodate a very large vessel so that it could dock safely without landing.'
Speaking to Huffington Post, the scientist explained the appearance of a tower is an artifact generated from the process of putting the mosaic of images together 'In the high sun images, the bright craters are more easily seen, but there's nothing there that is unusual compared to any other areas on the moon.'
I was smoking a cigarette in a location off of rt. 70 in Marlton, NJ. I heard what sounded like a military helicopter in the distance, so 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, vibrations, ETC.
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 though 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, but when I focused in on it I could make out a red/orange orb shape which looked like it was glowing, producing and aura, and the helicopter behind it maybe between 300-500 ft. 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 what appeared to be high speeds. I had to run around the corner to keep eye sight until it went over the tree line out of sight. I had no means of following it and wouldn’t have been able to with the speed and direction it was going , having to follow traffic laws and everything. Right after my father walked out the door because he heard the chopper from inside the house and came to check it out and also had to grab something out of the car.
When he was trying to lock it, he hit the lock button at least 3x and the car was still unlocked, so I’m unsure if it messed with the electrical system or whatever category you would place this in. Take note that he’s not the best with newer technology though. So I came on here to check if anybody else had reported it.
Also take note there are military bases in the area. Fort Dix and Maguire AFB. I didn’t see any reports so I figured if I would. This is not the first time I’ve seen activity of this sort in my 20+ years in this area. One was 10+ years ago, and one was over this past summer. I made no reports of them or checked for any.
NOTE:The above image is CGI.
This case is under investigation by Chief Investigator Ken Pfeifer of MUFON New Jersey.
“On Saturday, December 30, 1972, Ventura Maceiras, the 73-year-old watchman of a property located in the Angel Cabañas Municipal Park of Tres Arroyos, province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), was calmly sipping tea one evening when a brilliantly illuminated object appeared out of nowhere in a nearby clearing. He could make out the forms of two beings clearly within the glowing object, and with the rustic courtesy of the gaucho, Maceiras proffered his cup of “mate” – the traditional Argentinean infusion – to the new arrivals. His cat, having just given birth to litter of kittens, ran away from the unnatural light, forsaking her young.
Events following the apparition of the alien craft proceeded quickly. Maceiras saw the beings depart in a flash of light, and immediately began to feel ill, with slight vomiting and incontinence. Strange tendrils of fine, thread-like material (a form of Morgellon’s Disease?) streamed from his eyes and his blood cell count dropped precipitously. Researchers were startled to find that fish in an adjacent pond had died of unknown causes.
Maceiras’s cat returned, displaying patches of burnt fur as if from extreme heat, and would later die mysteriously, along with Maceiras’s dog, who is seldom mentioned in the numerous retellings of the case. But a totally unforeseen event began to transpire: Maceiras began to acquire thoughts foreign to his experience and meager education. He was able to discuss the finer points of history, philosophy, medicine and astronomy with experts come from the capital to see him. To the amazement of his attending physicians, Maceiras was growing a new set of teeth.
Strange lights are seen over Toronto Canada. Two young men pull their car over to record the incredible event. Phil Poling of Pararbreakdown takes a look at this video and gives us his thoughts. What do you think?

UFO Recorded Over Weirton, West Virginia, September 21, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Sept 21, 2016 Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Source: MUFON #80490 This UFO was caught over Las Vegas a while back and it does look a lot like the TR3B when its not fully powered up. A fully powered up version of the craft would have a much larger center glow to it. I do believe that this either alien tech in USAF hands, or a craft from the Tall Whites base on the old firing range at Nellis AFB. 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 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..

Date of sighting: Nov 23, 2016 Location of sighting: Volcano Popocatepetl, Mexico The volcanos in Mexico were named by the ancient Mayans after their gods, probably because they encountered the aliens and witnessed them flying in and out of the mouth of the volcanos. This is an active volcano with eruptions every other day on live cam. No aircraft would ever get permission to fly low over the mouth of the volcano. The risk would be just too great. This UFO flew over to either pick up or drop off others. To do that, they don't need to land. Scott C. Waring News states: Volcanic watchers report aerial phenomena that pass close to the volcanoes Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl and our high definition equipment detects.
Op deze 7 exoplaneten gaan dingen een beetje anders dan anders
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Nu we steeds meer exoplaneten ontdekken, kunnen we één duidelijke conclusie trekken: de ene exoplaneet is nog gekker dan de andere.
Bijna 25 jaar geleden – in 1992 – konden onderzoekers voor het eerst met zekerheid concluderen dat ze een exoplaneet hadden ontdekt. Inmiddels is het 2016 en zijn ons meer dan 3500 exoplaneten bekend. En daar zitten heel wat vreemde snuiters tussen! Wij hebben er zeven voor je geselecteerd. Enjoy!
Nieuwjaarsdag laat even op zich wachten Wie wel van een feestje houdt, kijkt ongetwijfeld reikhalzend uit naar zijn verjaardag of nieuwjaarsnacht. En dan kan een jaar best lang duren. Maar tel je zegeningen en wees blij dat je wiegje op de aarde en niet op 2MASS J2126 stond. Want een jaar op deze exoplaneet duurt maar liefst 900.000 aardse jaren! De planeet draait namelijk met een hele, hele, hele grote boog om zijn ster heen en heeft 900.000 jaar nodig om een rondje rond die ster te voltooien. Oh, en je hoeft op 2MASS J2126 ook niet op fraaie zonsondergangen te rekenen, want de ster waar de planeet omheen draait, is slechts een klein stipje aan de horizon. De planeet en ster zijn namelijk zo’n 7000 keer verder van elkaar verwijderd dan de zon van de aarde verwijderd is.

Dertig ringen We zijn wel wat gewend, natuurlijk. Saturnus heeft machtige ringen. Net als Uranus en Neptunus. Maar toen ontdekten we J1407b: een exoplaneet met ringen. En niet zomaar een paar, nee, dertig stuks. En nog grote ook: de grootste ring is bijna net zo groot als de baan die de aarde rond de zon trekt. Als we de ringen van J1407b rond Saturnus zouden kunnen plaatsen, zouden we ze ’s nachts vanaf de aarde kunnen bewonderen, terwijl ze – nog veel groter dan een volle maan – aan de hemel staan.

Geroosterd De prachtige mythe van Icarus vertelde het al: blijf bij de zon vandaan! Maar de gasreus Kepler-70b luisterde niet. En toen zijn ster het einde van zijn leven naderde en opzwol, verdween de gasreus in de buitenste lagen van de stervende ster. Om er vervolgens van zijn atmosfeer ontdaan en flink geroosterd weer uit te komen. Van de flinke gasreus is vandaag de dag dan ook alleen de kern – die kleiner is dan onze aarde – over. En de gemiddelde oppervlaktetemperatuur van Kepler-70b ligt hoger dan de oppervlaktetemperatuur van de zon. Stel je zou proberen een ruimtesonde op de planeet te laten landen, dan zou de sonde door de enorme hitte niet eens tijd hebben om te smelten, maar gewoon verdampen.

Eitje Als iemand je vraagt om een planeet te beschrijven, zul je waarschijnlijk allereerst opmerken dat het om een redelijk cirkelvormig hemelobject gaat. Tenzij iemand je vraagt om WASP-12b te beschrijven. Deze gasreus is namelijk, jawel, eivormig. Het is eigenlijk een heel triest verhaal. WASP-12b stevent namelijk af op zijn ondergang. De hete Jupiter draait op zo’n kleine afstand om zijn ster heen dat deze letterlijk uit elkaar wordt getrokken. De enorme warmte van de zon ontdoet de zielige planeet van zijn atmosfeer. Grote kans dat WASP-12b binnen tien miljoen jaar verleden tijd is.
Nog nooit is er een planeet met meer sterren ontdekt dan PH1b.

Mag het een sterretje meer zijn, alsjeblieft? George Lucas – de bedenker van Star Wars – wist het allang: een planeet kan ook prima rond meerdere sterren cirkelen. En in 2011 moesten onderzoekers hem gelijk geven. Ze ontdekten toen voor het eerst een planeet met twee zonnen. Kan het nog gekker? Altijd! Kort erna ontdekten onderzoekers namelijk PH1b. Een exoplaneet met – liefhebbers van zonsondergangen opgelet – vier sterren! PH1b cirkelt rond een dubbelster en daaromheen cirkelt weer een andere dubbelster. Wie graag eens vanaf het oppervlak van deze planeet zou genieten van een romantische viervoudige zonsondergang komt helaas bedrogen uit. PH1b is een gasreus en heeft dus niet eens een vast oppervlak, laat staan zanderige duinen waarin je kunt neerploffen om de zon in de zee te kunnen zien zakken.
Hier en daar een pijnlijk buitje Mocht je ooit besluiten à la Captain Kirk het universum te gaan verkennen, knoop het volgende dan goed in je oren: niet is wat het lijkt. Neem bijvoorbeeld HD 189733b. Als je ‘m na een lange ruimtereis ziet, krijg je ongetwijfeld spontaan last van heimwee. Want zo op het eerste gezicht heeft deze blauwgekleurde planeet wel wat weg van de aarde. Maar zet een bezoekje aan de planeet maar gauw uit je hoofd. De atmosfeer kent temperaturen van meer dan 1000 graden Celsius en winden die zich met een snelheid van tot wel twee kilometer per seconde voort haasten. En – als klap op de vuurpijl – regent het er ook nog. Geen water, maar glas.

Zo ontzettend eenzaam Terwijl sommige planeten opeengepropt zitten in een planetair stelsel (denk aan de ster HD 10180 waar zeker vijf en mogelijk zelfs negen planeten omheen draaien), zijn anderen helemaal alleen. PSO J318.5-22 behoort droevig genoeg tot de laatste categorie en zwerft in complete eenzaamheid door de ruimte heen. De planeet bezit niet eens een ster om rondheen te kunnen draaien. Aangenomen wordt dat dergelijke eenzame planeten óf mislukte sterren zijn óf ooit deel uitmaakten van een planetair stelsel, maar daaruit zijn geschopt. Wanneer dergelijke planeten nog jong zijn, gloeien ze nog (dankzij de restwarmte van hun ontstaan). Maar als ook die warmte op is, valt de eeuwige duisternis in.
Je ziet: gekke exoplaneten zijn eerder regel dan uitzondering. En de kans is groot dat we de komende jaren nog veel meer vreemde exoplaneten aan dit rijtje mogen gaan toevoegen. Want de jacht op nieuwe exoplaneten is nog steeds in volle gang en zal de komende decennia dankzij de komst van superkrachtige telescopen geïntensiveerd worden. Hoewel het ontdekken van een zeer exoplaneet met bizarre kenmerken natuurlijk hartstikke leuk is, ontdekken onderzoekers veel liever een exoplaneet die – heel saai – als twee druppels water op onze planeet lijkt. Tot op heden is dat echter nog niet gelukt…

12 April 2025, het is 8 uur ‘s ochtends. Je wekker haalt je uit een droomloze slaap en je klimt uit bed terwijl je huis tot leven komt. Het badkamerlicht gaat automatisch aan en de douche begint te stromen op je favoriete temperatuur. Nadat je bent afgedroogd trek je een t-shirt aan dat voor jou op maat is gemaakt. Je kijkt naar je telefoon en ziet dat de batterij bijna leeg is. Een push-bericht vertelt jou dat je je geen zorgen hoeft te maken en er een vervangende batterij onderweg is. Je hoort dat je auto alvast start in de garage om je naar de fabriek te brengen die jij beheert. Je telefoon laat je weten dat één van de machines in de fabriek kapot is gegaan. Eigenlijk ga je nooit naar je fabriek, omdat de fabriek zichzelf regelt.
“Wat een gezeik weer,” mompel je terwijl de auto zichzelf uit de garage rijdt. “Kunnen deze dingen tegenwoordig dan helemaal niks meer?”
Welkom in het leven na de vierde industriële revolutie, waar alle objecten op maat gemaakt zijn, en alle apparaten met elkaar praten om jou zo goed mogelijk van dienst te kunnen zijn.
Het begrip “industriële revolutie” doet je waarschijnlijk denken aan oersaaie geschiedenislessen. Was dat niet iets met een stoommachine? Ja dat klopt, en sinds die uitvinding van James Watt zijn er nog twee industriële revoluties geweest. Één eind 1800 dankzij elektriciteit en één eind 1900 met de komst van de informatietechnologie.
Drie jaar geleden voorspelden de Duitsers een vierde industriële revolutie. Eentje die onze werkplek drastisch zou veranderen en die de hele wereld om jou zou laten draaien.
Alles gaat veranderen, alweer
De vierde industriële revolutie, ook wel bekend als industrie 4.0, dankt zijn naam aan vooraanstaande zakenmannen, politici en academici, die door de integratie van “cyber-physical systems” (CPS) in het productieproces een kans zagen om de industrie van Duitsland te laten concurreren met die van de rest van de wereld.
CPS is eigenlijk een vrij algemene term voor de integratie van ‘slimme’ machines die met het internet zijn verbonden. Fabrieksmanagers kunnen op deze manier hun productieprocessen zo aanpassen dat er meer geproduceerd wordt en er minder fouten worden gemaakt. Ook kunnen ze hun patronen efficiënt aanpassen, wanneer externe factoren hier om vragen.
In andere woorden, Industrie 4.0 is de “Internet of Things,” maar dan voor de productiekant.
Volgens een onderzoek in 2013 namens de “Industrie 4.0 Working Group” zal dit een “Volledig nieuwe manier van produceren worden.”
De Duitse regering moedigde het idee aan en lieten weten dat ze een “High Tech Strategy”-plan zouden uitvoeren om de natie voor te bereiden.
De aanpak is niet alleen in Duitsland populair, maar wordt overal op de wereld met open armen ontvangen. Zo volgde de Verenigde Staten snel het voorbeeld van Duitsland en organiseerde in 2014 een non-profit Industrial Internet Consortium die geleid werd door grote industriële bedrijven, zoals General Electric, AT&T IBM en Intel.
Veel fabrieken verspillen veel energie tijdens pauzes in het productieproces, zoals weekenden en vakanties. Dit is iets wat voorkomen zou kunnen worden in de 4.0 fabrieken.
Ook al is Industrie 4.0 in Duitsland het gesprek van de dag, wat de term precies inhoud weten we eigenlijk nog steeds niet.
“Ik kan aan mijn zoon nog steeds niet precies uitleggen wat de term Industrie 4.0 nou precies betekent,” aldus een productiemanager van Audi.
Hoe zal de industrie 4.0 eruit komen te zien?
Eén van de meest herkenbare veranderingen van de vierde industriële revolutie is dat al het design “servicegericht” is. Dit kan verschillen van klanten die fabrieken gebruiken om hun eigen producten te produceren tot bedrijven die op maat gemaakte producten produceren voor klanten.
De mogelijkheden met deze vorm van productie zijn eindeloos. Zo zal er communicatie plaatsvinden tussen slimme producten en de slimme machines die deze producten maken. Op deze manier kunnen de machines zelf de productie monitoren en bepalen hoeveel en op welke snelheid er geproduceerd wordt.
Wanneer je mobiele telefoon weet dat die binnenkort stuk zal gaan, kan deze een bericht sturen naar de fabriek die hier weer de productie op aanpast. Op het moment dat de telefoon stuk is, zal er alweer een nieuwe klaarliggen, waardoor back-ordering in de toekomst niet meer nodig zal zijn.
Wanneer deze technieken worden geperfectioneerd en volledig geïntegreerd in het productieproces, zal de nieuwe telefoon bijvoorbeeld al voorgeprogrammeerd zijn met de instellingen die jij op je oude telefoon had.
Dit is natuurlijk niet alleen het geval zijn bij mobiele telefoons. Ook op maat gemaakte kleding, shampoos en zeepjes zullen voor de consument beschikbaar worden. Producten zullen helemaal naar jouw wens worden gemaakt.
Geautomatiseerde machines die worden gemaakt voor bedrijven zoals BMW en Bayer zijn zelf bijna volledig gemaakt door geautomatiseerde machines.
Het integreren van slimme fabrieken in de industriële infrastructuur zal ook voor een grote afname zorgen in het verbruik van energie. De huidige fabrieken verbruiken enorm veel energie wanneer ze een tijdje niet gebruikt worden, zoals tijdens vakanties. Met de integratie van slimme fabrieken zou dit verholpen kunnen worden.
Daarnaast zal Industrie 4.0 de manier waarop het werk door de mensen zelf wordt gedaan compleet veranderen. Machines zijn veel beter in staat om continue herhalende taken uit te voeren dan de mens. Deze taken zullen dan ook veel meer geautomatiseerd worden. Mensen zullen hierdoor niet per se minder of geen werk meer hebben, maar juist meer tijd over hebben voor creatieve taken. Omdat steeds meer fysieke systemen worden gedigitaliseerd zullen mensen steeds minder fysiek werk gaan doen, maar meer managende taken uitvoeren (wat tegen die tijd allemaal via de computer en het internet kan).
De nieuwe industriële reuzen? Zelfde als de oude industriële reuzen.
De bedrijven die het meeste zullen profiteren van de vierde industriële revolutie, zoals Cisco, Siemens of ThyssenKrupp, stellen dat de implementatie van CPS eerder een gevolg is van de populaire vraag dan iets wat ze zelf op de agenda hebben staan.
Toch blijkt de belangrijkste oorzaak voor deze ontwikkeling in de Duitse industrie niet zozeer bij de consument te liggen, maar eerder bij de bedrijven die deze technieken als eerste willen beheersen.
Volgens een rapport van Strategy& zal de Duitse industrie van 2020 ongeveer 40 miljard euro in de industriële internet-infrastructuur investeren. Dit is een aanzienlijk aandeel wanneer we kijken naar de in totaal 140 miljard euro die Europa jaarlijks zal gaan investeren. Omdat het nog onzeker is in welk tijdsbestek dit zal gaan plaatsvinden, welke methodes er gebruikt worden en hoe groot de vraag zal zijn naar deze technologieën, is het nog onduidelijk hoe erg Duitsland er financieel gezien op vooruit zal gaan.
Volgens de “Industrie 4.0 Working Group” zijn 131 van 278 Duitse bedrijven (Die machines produceren) al bezig met de industrie 4.0.
Dit betekent dat ze nu vooral aan het leren zijn over de nieuwe technieken die gebruikt kunnen worden. Slechts een vijfde van deze bedrijven implementeren daadwerkelijk CPS componenten in hun fabrieken. De bedrijven die all-in zijn gegaan met de nieuwe industriële revolutie zijn Wittenstein (elektrische motoren), Bosch (hydraulische systemen) en BASF SE (op maat gemaakte shampoos en zeepjes).
Siemens AG, het grootste ingenieursbedrijf in Europa, past al langere tijd CPS-componenten toe in hun Amberg fabriek. Hier worden geautomatiseerde machines gemaakt voor bedrijven als BMW en Bayer, door machines die zelf bijna helemaal geautomatiseerd zijn.
Obstakels en nadelen
Toch zijn er een aantal negatieve kanten aan zowel de technische als sociale zijdes van de vierde industriële revolutie.
Om Industrie 4.0 zo soepel mogelijk te laten verlopen zal er een enorm goede samenwerking nodig zijn tussen verschillende bedrijven, al helemaal wanneer de machines allemaal dezelfde taal moeten gaan spreken. Wanneer een product niet af is en bij een machine terechtkomt die de RFID chip niet kan lezen omdat deze in een andere taal was geprogrammeerd, zal het productieproces vastlopen. Om gezamenlijk tot één taal te komen die alle machines kunnen lezen, zal één van de grootste uitdagingen worden van de vierde industriële revolutie.
Aan de andere kant wordt teveel homogeniteit weer als een gevaar gezien. Zo gaat bijvoorbeeld 97 procent van de zoekopdrachten in Duitsland via Google. Een aantal ministers zijn bang dat een handjevol industriële bedrijven een veel te grote machtspositie zullen krijgen in de industrie 4.0.
“De Big Data die nodig is voor de industrie 4.0 komt niet van Duitse bedrijven, maar van vier grote bedrijven uit Silicon Valley,” aldus de Duitse minister van economische zaken Sigmar Gabriel. “Dat is onze zorg.”
Een ander probleem is de veiligheid. Veilige netwerken creëren is een lastige taak, en machines aansluiten op zo’n netwerk maakt ze kwetsbaar voor cyberaanvallen. Met de komst van Industrie 4.0 kunnen productieprocessen door aanvallen volledig platgelegd of gesaboteerd worden. Volgens het Fraunhover Instituut zal er altijd een nieuwe malware de kop op steken en chaos creëren binnen deze productiesystemen.
Nu slimme fabrieken steeds normaler worden zal het dus een top prioriteit worden om een zo goed mogelijk beveiligingssysteem te ontwikkelen die deze aanvallen af kan weren.
Blijven er nog banen over?
De angst dat steeds meer banen het menselijke werk over gaan nemen wordt door de komst van de Industrie 4.0 steeds meer werkelijkheid. Deze angst is absoluut niet ongegrond wanneer we kijken naar een aantal voorspellingen die aantonen dat binnen 20 jaar zo’n 47 procent van de banen in de Verenigde Staten geautomatiseerd zullen worden. Hierdoor zullen miljoenen mensen hun baan verliezen.
Toch was deze ontwikkeling meer van toepassing op de derde industriële revolutie, waarbij veel machines geautomatiseerd werden. De vierde industriële revolutie zal daarentegen alleen zorgen voor de geautomatiseerde communicatie tussen machines. Zo heeft Siemens bijvoorbeeld nog steeds 1000 werknemers in dienst om de machines te monitoren op de computer. De grootste zorg wat betreft de banen is dat de industrie 4.0 bedrijven in staat stelt om hun productie op te schroeven zonder dat hier meer banen voor nodig zijn. Dit is iets wat, gezien de enorme stijging van de wereldbevolking in de afgelopen jaren, een groot probleem zou kunnen vormen in de toekomst.
Machines die onze banen stelen was meer iets wat kenmerkend was voor de derde industriële revolutie. De vierde industriële revolutie zal alleen zorgen voor de onderlinge communicatie tussen machines zonder de tussenkomst van mensen.
Zo'n trend kan schade veroorzaken aan landen met opkomende economieën. Het is dan ook geen verrassing dat een van de drijfveren achter de vierde industriële revolutie de concurrentiestrijd is met deze ontwikkelingslanden. Wanneer CPS-systemen op grote schaal worden ingezet, zal het dus niet meer nodig zijn om productiewerk uit te besteden aan ontwikkelingslanden. Dit is echter nog wel speculatief, omdat er nog weinig onderzoek is gedaan naar de effecten die Industrie 4.0 zal hebben in zowel het Westen als in de rest van de wereld.
Ondanks de positieve vooruitzichten, zoals de toename van de productie, geen fysiek werk meer in de fabrieken en miljarden euro’s die in de economie worden gestoken, blijft het nog maar de vraag of dit systeem zichzelf in stand zal houden. Wanneer het werk steeds meer vervangen wordt door machines, zal niemand straks meer (door het gebrek aan werk) in staat zijn om de producten te kopen. Misschien zal Industrie 4.0 leiden tot een verandering van saai en hard werk door meer creatief en managend werk. Maar misschien zullen we, net als in Black Mirror’s “Fifteen Million Merits” wel op elektrische fietsen moeten rijden om de machines in stand te houden en ons geld te verdienen.
Één ding is echter zeker, de industrie 4.0 is er al en alles wijst erop dat we straks zullen gaan leven in een wereld waar machines met elkaar kunnen communiceren.
We spraken de wetenschapper die andere planeten wil bevruchten met Aards leven
Door THIJS ROES
Wij mensen leven in een revolutionaire tijd. Van een Aards wezen evolueren we tot een interplanetaire soort, maar voor het zover is, moet er nog een hoop gebeuren. In onze nieuwe serie Space Invaders gaat Thijs Roes in gesprek met mensen die ons willen helpen van de Aarde te ontstijgen. In deze aflevering spreekt hij mettheoretisch natuurkundige Claudius Gros
In de afgelopen vijftien jaar is het beeld dat astronomen van onze Aarde hebben grandioos veranderd, we hebben namelijk eindelijk onze neefjes en nichtjes leren kennen. In de afgelopen vijf jaar zijn er duizenden planeten ontdekt die om andere sterren heen draaien, zogeheten exoplaneten. En wat blijkt? Het zijn voornamelijk bollen gas, onaangename stukken rots of bizarre entiteiten als een planeet waar het glas regent.
Niet echt aangename omgevingen voor het ontstaan van leven, laat staan dat het zo tot bloei kan komen als bij ons. Op de een of andere manier is onze planeet gezegend geweest met een langdurig stabiel klimaat met condities die leven mogelijk hebben gemaakt. Andere planeten hadden niet zoveel mazzel. Zelfs de bollen die door NASA als ‘Aarde-achtig’ worden gepresenteerd, lijken (vooralsnog) in niets op de biosfeer die we hier hebben.
Maar wat niet is, kan nog komen, dacht Claudius Gros. Hij is niet alleen een theoretisch natuurkundige aan de Goethe Universiteit in Frankfurt, hij is ook een soort kunstenaar die uit romantische overwegingen een plan heeft bedacht om complex leven het universum in te sturen. Wat als we de rest van het universum eens een handje zouden helpen? Hij bedacht het Genesis Project, dat hij deze zomer uitwerkte in een artikel voor het peer-reviewed Astrophysics and Space Science. Zijn plan zou een decennium geleden nog te bol staan van speculaties, maar kan nu dankzij nieuwe wetenschappelijke inzichten serieus behandeld worden.
Ik sprak hem om te praten over de ethische implicaties van zijn idee, en of het zelfs zo zou kunnen zijn dat wij het product zijn van een dergelijke buitenaardse bevruchting.
Motherboard: Eerst maar eens: waarom wilt u andere planeten bevruchten met Aards leven?
Claudius Gros: We denken allemaal dat buitenaards leven bestaat, toch? Maar ik dacht: wat als het niet bestaat? Of op maar heel weinig plekken? Zijn we het dan eigenlijk niet aan het universum verplicht om het te verspreiden?
Pas sinds een aantal jaar kan je die vraag serieus stellen. Want praten over interstellaire reizen en het fabriceren van nieuw leven, dat zou een aantal jaren geleden nog sciencefiction zijn geweest. Maar in 2016 heb ik er een haalbaar plan voor kunnen schrijven.
Waarom is het nu iets waar je serieus over kan nadenken?
Er zijn eigenlijk twee redenen. Ten eerste dachten we tot een tijd geleden dat het reizen naar een ander zonnestelsel zou moeten met enorm grote ruimtevaartschepen. Nu realiseren we ons dat met een zwerm micro-sondes we veel makkelijker die reis kunnen afleggen.
De tweede ontwikkeling is die van synthetisch leven. We zijn er nog niet, maar we ontwikkelen ons in een richting waarbij we leven kunnen creëren in een petrischaaltje. Op die manier kan je een mobiel lab de ruimte in sturen, op weg naar een exoplaneet die we hebben uitgezocht. Naarmate de sonde dichterbij de planeet komt en er meer over leert, kan hij het type leven in zijn mobiele lab aanpassen. Op die manier zijn ze al van tevoren aangepast.
Bron: Goethe Universiteit
Dat klinkt als sciencefiction.
Oh, dat synthetische leven gaat er volgens mij eerder komen dan de technologie die ervoor zorgt dat we zo ver kunnen reizen. Ik denk dat we over twintig jaar die labs wel hebben, en de zwerm interstellaire sondes in ongeveer vijftig. Maar waar het om gaat is dat we er vanaf nu over kunnen gaan nadenken.
Waarom moeten we het leven op aarde verspreiden naar andere planeten?
Laat ik even extra onderstrepen dat er echt geenduidelijke rationele reden aan ten grondslag ligt. Het heeft nauwelijks maatschappelijk nut, zeker niet op korte termijn. Misschien druppelen er wat wetenschappelijke gegevens binnen als we een sonde sturen. Maar het zou ons een paar honderd jaar kosten om op de plaats van bestemming aan te komen, en een paar miljoen jaar om dat leven lekker van de grond te laten komen. Misschien kost het wel een paar honderd miljoen jaar voordat er een complexe biosfeer en een vergaande evolutie heeft plaatsgevonden.
Maar stel dat we er dan op de aarde al niet meer zijn, omdat we onze biosfeer om zeep hebben geholpen of omdat religieuze fanaten de boel hebben overgenomen – dan hebben we in ieder geval een erfenis achtergelaten in het universum.
Ik zie het als een kunstproject met een persoonlijke reden. Ik vind het leven als concept iets heel erg moois, en hoe prachtig zou het niet zijn als we het niet elders in het universum ook tot bloei kunnen laten komen?
Hoe moet dat leven er volgens u uitzien?
Het zou sowieso eencellig leven zijn, anders wordt het te complex om te fabriceren. Ik denk aan bacteriën, de meest voorkomende levensvorm hier op aarde, er zijn er 10^29 op aarde. Ik denk dat ze sowieso fotosynthese moeten kunnen, anders weet ik niet waar ze hun energie vandaan moeten halen.
Heeft u stilgestaan bij de ethische kwesties die dit oproept?
Ik ben er eigenlijk van overtuigd dat alles dat wetenschappelijk mogelijk is, ooit wel gedaan gaat worden door mensen.
"Stel dat we er dan op de aarde al niet meer zijn, omdat we onze biosfeer om zeep hebben geholpen of omdat religieuze fanaten de boel hebben overgenomen – dan hebben we in ieder geval een erfenis achtergelaten in het universum."
Maar wat als er nou al leven aanwezig is op die andere planeet?
Het idee is natuurlijk om alleen planeten te bevruchten die nog geen leven hebben. Planeten die gewoon niet de juiste condities hebben om leven te laten te ontstaan, maar het wel zouden kunnen hosten als je het een kickstart geeft. De inschatting is dat er heel veel van zulk soort lege exoplaneten zijn. En ultiem weinig met complex leven.
We moeten er heel voorzichtig mee zijn, maar als een planeet maar een procent van de biosfeer heeft als die van de Aarde, dan kan je dat makkelijk zien met zo’n sonde. Maar je kan inderdaad niet uitsluiten dat er toch ergens nog een hele kleine lokale verzameling bacteriën al in leven was. Dan is mijn vraag: wat is uiteindelijk meer of minder waard: simpel buitenaards leven of complex Aards leven? Ik hoor hier op Aarde zelden iemand roepen: “Red de bacteriën!” Hier op Aarde is het toch zo dat hoe complexer het leven is, hoe waardevoller we het vinden.
De Britse natuurkundige Brian Cox vertelde me ooit dat hij ervan overtuigd is dat wij mensen de enige beschaving zijn in ons melkwegstelsel. Speelt de gedachte mee dat we een soort taak zouden hebben om leven te verspreiden?
Gevoelig onderwerp... Een taak zou je het nooit moeten willen noemen, maar ik begrijp de gedachte wel. Ik heb er voornamelijk esthetische redenen voor, geen andere. Ik vind complex leven erg mooi, en gezien het enthousiasme voor Mars-missies die mensen naar andere een andere planeet laat emigreren, vind ik dat we dat met microben ook wel kunnen proberen.
Zou het kunnen zijn dat wij zelf een resultaat zijn van een dergelijke bevruchting?
In theorie: ja. Maar we hebben een redelijk goede manier om de tijdlijn van de Aarde in kaart te brengen. En die zegt dat het een continue proces lijkt te zijn geweest, en niet een spontaan complex begin.

ET Plasma Entity or Project Blue Beam In effect – Caught On Camera
A recent viral video which has been released into the public domain, apparently showing a plasma entity over Arizona, has some people now fearing the artificial apocalypse draws near. But could this be something else, something not of this world?
This extremely controversial video was recently posted to Facebook and other social media sites, and in a very short time period, it was viewed and shared literally thousands of times. According to the person who uploaded this video, the footage was shot this month (November 2016) in Arizona and the comment section proves one thing: people are alarmed about what implications the presence of this plasma entity might have and most importantly, exactly WHAT is it!?
The creepy video shows an undisclosed unknown neighborhood somewhere in Arizona on what appears to be a dark and overcast day when all of a sudden, a huge streak of electric blue light is seen ascending through the clouds. The ethereal jet appears to be left behind by a capsule-looking object that bursts through the damp and dark atmosphere. Before strangely disappearing from view, the object makes contact with another entity and this could be interpreted as a docking process between two very distinct UFOs. But upon closer inspection, things become even more strange and alarming!?
Something strange is going on!?
When this bizarre video is slowed right down and zoomed in, the details of the first object become rather clear to say the least. Its shape is eerily reminiscent of an elongated, extraterrestrial-looking head. The object it comes into contact with bears a striking similarity to what appears to be an alien hand with long un-human like fingers. The ‘hand’ then reaches down from above the heavy rain clouds and grasps the trailing alien head. Both objects then disappear from view as the blue plasma-like ejecta slowly dissipates, as if nothing had ever happened.
This odd event takes place at least a few miles above ground, which suggests that both objects are incredibly huge. They make no attempt to shield themselves from view and this is an important detail. Whoever or whatever was behind this otherworldly apparition wanted to be seen by those below – could this be some kind of ‘forced’ disclosure by the ET’s??
If these strange objects are extraterrestrial in nature, it must mean they understand and make use of symbolism. An alien hand reaching out and grabbing an alien head and then disappearing from view might signify their intentions of withdrawing from our planet, or could this possibly mean the complete opposite and a sign of things to come?!
This could also mean that they are willing to offer us an unfiltered view of their appearance and that is why they chose elements of their own anatomy. Since they have been studying us for a very long time, they may know the importance of the head and hand in our modern day languages and cultures. These two parts signify intelligence and action and perhaps by employing these symbols, they encourage us to take our intellect into our own hands. Or could this be government propaganda, i.e Project Blue Beam ?? (click here for more on this).
Maybe ‘IF’ ET’s created this crazy spectacle in the skies above Arizona, they could have chosen these elements arbitrarily and to each, his own interpretation works best!?

But and it is a big but, if this bizarre occurrence was not the work of alien beings but instead an internal event, things could quite possibly turn much more sinister and darker!
One of the most popular modern conspiracy theories revolves around the world known Blue Beam Project and the global changes it would entail. Apparently a major pet project of the New World Order (NWO) Project Blue Beam will seek to simulate an apocalypse scenario and introduce the world to its new potential overlords. Many truth seekers around the world agree that Blue Beam will consist of four consequential steps.
Project Blue Beam – coming to a town near you?
The Four Stage Approach
The first step would have to do with the breakdown of all accepted knowledge regarding the world’s past and major events that led to the formation of various religions and beliefs. According to Biblioteca Pleyades, this first step will deal with “staging earthquakes at certain precise locations around the planet where supposed new ‘discoveries’ will finally explain that the meanings of the basic doctrines of all the world’s major religions are ‘wrong.’”
The recent increase in worldwide seismic activity seems to prove Step 1is well underway. Various theorists claim that either HAARP or CERN are behind the recent wave of earthquakes that hit Italy, New Zealand and Japan.
Step two of the Blue Beam Project would apparently involve an enormous space show, generated by advanced holograms and laser projections in all corners of the globe. Hit by its hidden fears, humanity would feel vulnerable, and mayhem would take over major cities as the prophetic visions of the world’s religions would play in the sky above them. Carefully-simulated attacks would rise panic to unprecedented levels.
Steps three revolves around advanced LF (low frequency), VLF (Very Low Frequency) and ELF (Extra Low Frequency) transmissions that would directly interfere with the subjects’ (read: us) brainwaves, leading them into believing their divinity is communicating with them.
Once this maneuver is successful, the world is ready and the stage is set for the introduction of the so-called New Messiah who would establish worldwide peace at the cost of everyone’s freedom.
Project Blue Beam is one of the most hideous scenarios and it’s little wonder people shiver at the mere thought of it happening. The prospect of this recent video being proof that the gears of Blue Beam are set in motion is troubling, to say the least.
Thankfully, we have one main weapon on our side and that is ‘Knowledge’. It’s much harder to be fooled when you know you’re being tricked. Keep your eyes open and don’t believe what you’re being told. Pass information through your judgement’s filter and be watchful.
U.I.P SUMMARY
Our personal take on this incredible video is that this could be showing us the activity of some kind of a far advanced extraterrestrial intelligence, but then again it could also be a false flag event created by the elite – see Project Blue Beam!
This creepy footage has yet to be debunked and as it stands is currently the real deal! There are many incredible sightings around the world at the moment, but we have to be careful to ensure this is not a build up to some kind of worldwide hoax led by the Illuminati to control and divide us – Please click HERE for more information on PROJECT BLUE BEAM!
