VIDEO: NASA-beelden tonen ‘UFO’s die energie van de zon opzuigen’

UFO-jagers claimen dat er ruimteschepen kunnen worden gezien bij de zon. De objecten zouden bovendien energie onttrekken aan onze ster.

Er gaan nieuwe NASA-beelden rond op internet die dergelijke schepen zouden tonen. Op de beelden is een witte stip te zien die door middel van een ‘kabel’ verbonden is met het zonneoppervlak.

YouTube-gebruiker StreetCap1 vroeg zich af: “Is dit een enorme UFO die zich voedt met de energie van de zon?”

Op te laden

Hij wees erop dat de UFO een andere kleur en vorm heeft dan de rest van de ‘kabel’. “Ik geloofde eerst niet zo in deze theorie, maar dit zet me toch wel aan het denken.”

Scott C. Waring van de website UFO Sightings Daily zei dat ‘dit zeker een UFO is’.

Volgens hem gebruikt het object, dat zich met hoge snelheid voortbeweegt, de energie van de zon mogelijk om op te laden.

Bestand

Hij voegde toe dat dit erop wijst dat het vaartuig gemaakt is van materiaal dat bestand is tegen de hitte van de zon.

Het is niet de eerste keer dat alienjagers hebben gesuggereerd dat buitenaardsen energie van de zon opzuigen.

Eerder dit jaar werden vreemde objecten gezien op beelden die waren gemaakt door zonneobservatorium SOHO. Ook werd een zwarte kubus gezien bij de zon.

Vliegende schotels

Sommigen claimen dat de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA bewijs voor buitenaardse ruimteschepen onder het tapijt veegt.

Voormalig NASA-medewerker Donna Hare claimde dat er tijdens de maanlandingen drie vliegende schotels zijn waargenomen, die later op het maanoppervlak zouden zijn geland.

Computerprogrammeur: "Terugkomst van Jezus zal rond oud en nieuw leiden tot apocalyps" Computerprogrammeur: “Terugkomst van Jezus zal rond oud en nieuw leiden tot apocalyps” in Mens en Dier 6 december 2016 17:00 8 Reacties 2,136 Bekeken Wa

Computerprogrammeur: "Terugkomst van Jezus zal rond oud en nieuw leiden tot apocalyps"

Computerprogrammeur: “Terugkomst van Jezus zal rond oud en nieuw leiden tot apocalyps”

Wacht nog maar even met goede voornemens maken. De apocalyps, het einde der tijden, is in aantocht.

Volgens computerprogrammeur Nora Roth zal Jezus terugkeren naar de aarde en de opname in gang zetten, schrijft The Sun.

Ze baseert zich op complexe berekeningen die ze heeft uitgevoerd. Op haar website MarkBeast vraagt ze: “Is de periode van 6000 jaar vol zonden bijna voorbij? Zal Jezus in 2016 komen?”

Verbannen

Vervolgens geeft ze het antwoord op deze brandende vragen: “De Bijbel geeft verhelderende, logische en duidelijke antwoorden op deze vragen. Het korte antwoord is: ja!”

Hoe onderbouwt Roth haar claim? Ze baseert zich op het boek Daniël, waarin het Joodse volk wordt verbannen naar Babylonië.

Rust

“In de herfst van 2016 komt er een einde aan de periode van 6000 jaar vol zonden op aarde,” zei ze.

“Jezus zal terugkomen om zijn volk mee te nemen naar de hemel. Hierna zal er 1000 jaar lang rust

Cycli

Gabriël zegt in het verhaal dat er ‘na zeventig zevens een einde komt aan de zonden’. Die ‘zevens’ zijn volgens haar cycli.

Zeventig van deze cycli komen overeen met een periode van 3431 jaar, waarna Jezus terugkomt, aldus Roth. De periode van 3431 jaar loopt in 2016 af. zijn op aarde.”

VIDEO: Mysterie rond kilometerslange menselijke figuur in Australische woestijn

VIDEO: Mysterie rond kilometerslange tekening van menselijke figuur in Australische woestijn

VIDEO: Mysterie rond kilometerslange menselijke figuur in Australische woestijn

In juni 1998 maakte piloot Tevor Wright een routinevlucht over de Australische outback toen hij iets geheel onverwachts ontdekte.

Wright keek omlaag en zag een vreemde vorm in de grond: een menselijke figuur met de kop van een vogel.

De bizarre figuur is meer dan vier kilometer lang.

Grootste ooit

De vraag is nu niet alleen hoe de tekening is gemaakt, maar ook wie deze in het zand heeft gemaakt.

De vreemde tekening bevindt zich in de buurt van de plaats Marree in Zuid-Australië, op een kleine 600 kilometer van Adelaide.

Het gaat om de grootste afbeelding van een mens die ooit is gemaakt en het indrukwekkende is: de figuur is zelfs zichtbaar vanuit de ruimte.

Of was dat ook de bedoeling?

Onopgelost

Jarenlang bleef het mysterie onopgelost tot geruchten de ronde deden dat de excentrieke Australische kunstenaar Bardius Goldberg verantwoordelijk was voor de tekening.

Enkele jaren na de ontdekking van de ‘Marree Man’ overleed de kunstenaar echter onder vreemde omstandigheden.

Goldberg heeft nooit openlijk gezegd dat hij de ‘Marree Man’ heeft gemaakt, wat betekent dat lokale bewoners nog steeds geen idee hebben wie deze enorme figuur heeft achtergelaten.

Date of sighting: Dec 5, 2016
Location of sighting: Brazil

Here is a video posted on Youtube by user Gagare1952. The video shows a UFO that is making a cloud trail. Its telepathic emotion sensors realised that someone had noticed it, so it immediately cloaked...as you see in the video below. 


Have you ever seen such a UFO in the sky, only to have it disappear with seconds of noticing it? Yes, you have, and so have most the population on Earth. Out of sight, out of mind.

Hun lenzen waren gericht op Cerro Los Blanquitos ongeveer tien uur 's avonds, wanneer een krachtige groenachtig licht zichtbaar op de bergkam werd. Volgens de ooggetuigen, het object verplaatst en later verdween achter de top.
 
Dit is de eerste keer dat de fotojournalist een soortgelijke ervaring heeft. In augustus 1984, Ruiz alleedly zag een UFO vanuit het raam van een vliegtuig waarop hij vloog.

This very enlightening video was made by TheRealJimmyRoberts1 of Youtube. He carefully takes us on a tour of Mars using NASA photos. He shows how NASA expertly hides the truth, by altering the photos, and how we can get it back into focus. Listen to him and at the end of the 38 minute video, you will better understand what we have been finding in Mars photos. 

Scott C. Waring

Video states:

38 Minutes that are guaranteed to change your perspective on the reality of both past and present life on Mars. The basics of "HOW, WHY and WHO" are covered here along with hundreds of telling images. This is not conspiracy theory. This is not the occult. This is reality and it is extremely important that we begin to understand our relationship to both the past and present inhabitants of the Red Planet. Why? Because evidence strongly indicates they were destroyed by nuclear explosions.

Ancient Coin Of France Apparently Depicts An Unidentified Flying Saucer

Ancient Coin Of France Apparently Depicts An Unidentified Flying Saucer

ufo-coin-france

Absolute proof of UFO sightings from hundreds of years ago has been found in a 17th-century French token, UFO hunters claimed.

The coin-like object, known as the ancient jeton, was used for counting. It reportedly depicts a strange-looking circular entity that looks like a classic flying saucer.

Some even went to speculate that it represents the wheel in the Book of Ezekiel of the Bible, which they believe the Bible’s tale of a UFO encounter. Some skeptics say that the object just represents a drifting mushroom or flower. Others say that it shows a shield.

Meanwhile, many UFO hunters say that the token is an evidence of frequent UFO sightings in ancient France. So numerous that French decided to inscribe such sightings on coins. The object is a French jeton minted somewhere from 1680 to 1856.

It has almost the same size of a U.S. quarter-dollar. It was used for educational purposes to help people count money, and sometimes, used as a substitute for money in playing games. It also looks like other jetons with different educational and religious designs.

Researchers found a Latin inscription that says OPPORTUNUS ADEST, which means “It is here at an opportune time.” The other side of it shows rain drenching a plant-like thing.

UFO Expert Claims Government Withheld More Than Half of the Truth About Aliens and UFOs

UFO Expert Claims Government Withheld More Than Half of the Truth About Aliens and UFOs

malcolm-robinson

A paranormal investigator made a claim that the British government has involvement in the cover-up of the truth about UFOs and aliens.

UFO expert Malcolm Robinson said intelligence that could clarify unsolved British mysteries involving UFOs and aliens had been withheld from public access.

Founder of Strange Phenomena Investigations, Mr. Robinson, has collected and examined UFO evidence for years. In 2015, he presented a collection of evidence containing detailed information about UFOs and aliens to Downing Street, requesting then Prime Minister David Cameron to open an inquiry. However, it failed to materialize.

He said governments in different parts of the world, including Britain, know far more than what they disclosed to the public for sure.

He claims that Nick Pope, the manager of the now defunct UFO desk, once told him that the government did not disclose even half of the truth.

According to documents obtained under Freedom of Information, the department and hotline for UFO sighting reports was shut down in 2009 for the reason that it no longer served a defense purpose and only taking away resources and staff to more significant defense-related activities. The documents further revealed the Ministry of Defence concluded that no UFO report in 50 years had evidence of a potential threat to the U.K.

Now, Mr. Robinson has called for the government to conduct an inquiry in several sightings, including police files from Bonnybridge Scotland. Robinson said that there were over 300 UFO sightings in the small town during the 1990s.

Mr. Robinson noted that about 95% of the sightings could be explained after checking with airports, the National Security Agency, the Ministry of Defence, and meteorological stations, but some 5% don’t have a rational explanation.

Earlier this year, many UFO conspiracy theorists claimed that some MoD UFO files which had been sent to the National Archives had been sent back for further censorship.

UFOs have been on Earth for THOUSANDS of years as chilling 'alien SKULLS' discovered

CREEPY "alien skulls" have been found buried in the depths of an ancient cave – proving UFOS have been on Earth for "thousands of years".

By Henry Holloway 

UFO experts claim the odd objects – which do resemble extraterrestrials – are undoubtedly alien skeletons.

Pictures of the strange objects were revealed which show tiny, grey "bones" and "skulls" which appear to be from a creature about 2ft tall.

The skeletal remains were reportedly uncovered in a cave in the southern deserts of Peru.

The first was a fully formed "alien" about a foot tall, and the second was a skull from an alien who would have been around two foot tall.

Waring added: "This is a short alien. So they are small, does that make them existing impossible?

"The shortest human in the world was 21 and a half inches. Did he exist? Of course he did, and of course intelligent aliens."

Russia's secret UFO files: Soviet Union waged Cold War conflict with aliens

Russia's secret UFO files: Soviet Union waged Cold War conflict with aliens

WHILE the Cold War waged, the Soviet Union was being menaced by mysterious alien spacecraft which shot down planes and burned military installations

ALIENS: While UFOS menaced the US – the Soviet Union was getting the same treatment

During the 1940s and 1950s UFO-mania gripped the US as reports of flying saucers, men in black and alien abductions filled newspaper pages.

But as alien encounters became a sideshow in the states, their communist enemies were also being rocked by mysterious encounters with UFOs.

Around the same time the Soviets also began to have increasing contact with apparent aliens and growing reports of spacecraft entering airspace over Russia.

Soviet-born UFO researcher and author Paul Stonehill told Daily Star Online: “The Soviets were shocked so many UFOs could penetrate their borders and basically just do what they wanted without any control from the Kremlin.

“There were many more cases of direct encounters than in the United States, and anything which was flying over the Soviet Union was very interested in secret military installations.”

SUPERPOWER: The Soviet Union was at the height of its power during the Cold War

“The aliens would fight back and destroy whatever unit would shoot at them.”

Paul Stonehill

Throughout the Cold War and the space race Soviet forces frequently clashed with UFOs.

Mr Stonehill said: “The Kremlin was paranoid but they could not do anything about it.

“They tried on several occasions where orders were given out from on high to shoot down UFOs, or local commanders would take it upon themselves.

“However, it always ended badly for them.”

TOP SECRET: UFO reports and alien encounters were dealt with utter secrecy

The researcher, whose articles have been published in 11 languages, unearthed a culture of total secrecy over the phenomena in the Soviet Union.

Kremlin bigwigs would pass off any public reports of the phenomena as a “hoax perpetrated by the Western powers”.

A secret research programme called SETKA was established in 1977 after the Petrozavodsk incident in which 48 UFOs appeared in the atmosphere across the Soviet Union.

The incident came to a head in the industrial city of Petrozavodsk when a huge glowing object appeared overhead – seemingly beaming shafts of light towards the Earth.

The aim of the programme was to work out what the UFOs were – with Soviet higher-ups acknowledging the craft could not be of Earth-bound origin.

Stonehill said much of the archives of the programme remain under lock and key, but he added it was passed down between the communist state’s top military minds and scientists.

Forms were also then handed to any soviet soldier, sailor or airmen who reported a UFO encounter for them to file fully detailed reports.

He said: “It was prolific enough to really make you wonder just how much the Soviets knew”.

PIONEER: Soviets lead the space race for many years – possibly sparking alien attention

A bloody encounter between an alien craft and Soviet forces occurred in 1953 shortly after the death of Joseph Stalin.

The large UFO, initially thought by witnesses to be a “blimp of dirigible”, appeared above the Taiga in Siberia.

Soviet military chiefs dispatched a military special detachment to the area.

When they attempted to engage the craft with aircraft the three Soviet planes just “burned away”, says Mr Stonehill.

MANKIND: Soviets managed to put the first man in space and carried out the first space walk

A secret order was issued to Soviet forces during the mid-1960s giving Russian commanders strict instructions to “not shoot at UFOs, leave them alone”.

Mr Stonehill said: “The aliens would fight back and destroy whatever unit would shoot at them.

“They would disintegrate planes, and in some cases the UFOs also acted first.”

He added: “No government wants to be powerless in the face of a threat, and it got to the case of the Soviets being very scared.”

SPACE: Soviet dream of space dominance collapsed – retiring their space shuttle before launch

But despite these violent clashes, he says most Soviet encounters were characterised by alien craft simply “observing” activity.

He said: “It was as if they were under a microscope. There were reports of UFOs present at most, if not all, of the Soviet space launches.

“The craft seemed to know about the space ports and the secret facilities.”

However, he added the motivations of whoever is piloting the UFOs remains a mystery.

Mr Stonehill has spoken to former military intelligence personnel, government officials and Soviet scientists to reveal the depths of the Soviet UFO encounters.

Like a spider devouring prey from its web, a mature young galaxy is devouring the recycled gas that surrounds it, rather than snacking on its neighbors.

"This is different from what we see in the nearby universe, where galaxies in clusters grow by cannibalizing other galaxies," lead study author Bjorn Emonts, a researcher at Spain's Center for Astrobiology, said in a statement from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO). "In this cluster, a giant galaxy is growing by feeding on the soup of cold gas in which it is submerged."

Working with an international team of astronomers, Emonts made detailed observations of the Spiderweb Galaxy — which is actually a cluster of protogalaxies in the early universe — using the NRAO's Very Large Array in New Mexico and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization’s (CSIRO) Australia Telescope Compact Array. Rather than forming through collisions with other galaxies (the "cannibalizing" Emonts mentions), the researchers found that the massive galaxy at the heart of the cluster was slurping up cool gas between the infant galaxies. [The Universe Has 10 Times More Galaxies Than Scientists Thought] 

The most massive galaxies in the universe form through a combination of rapid star formation and the cannibalization of other, smaller galaxies, but how much each process contributes in the building of super-galaxies has been an ongoing question.

"Extremely massive galaxies are seen in the young universe, but their presence is puzzling because we do not yet understand how they became so massive so quickly," said Nina Hatch, an astronomer at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom. The research was published in the journal Science. Hatch, who was not involved in the study, authored an accompanying Perspectives article about the new research paper. "How do they get enough fuel to form stars so rapidly?"

In search of an answer, Emonts and his team turned to the Spiderweb Galaxy cluster, located 10 billion light-years from the sun. Because of the time it takes for light to travel across space, they are seeing the cluster as it was when the universe was less than 4 billion years of its 13.7-billion-year age. Like a giant spider web, the collection hosts a relatively mature galaxy at its center, surrounded by a web of diffuse ultraviolet light in which tens of smaller, fly-like galaxies are caught. Despite its young age, the central galaxy is one of the most massive galaxies in in the young universe, according to Hatch. 

In hopes of finding the gas that fuels the growth of galaxies in the Spiderweb, the researchers studied the gas around it, which serves as the building blocks for stars and galaxies. They found a cloud of gas roughly 100 billion times the mass of the sun that engulfed the growing galaxies. Previous work revealed that billions of young stars had lit up the Spiderweb, leading the researchers to conclude that the super-galaxy is growing directly from the cloud.

"This is a huge system, with this molecular gas [cloud] spanning three times the size of our own giant Milky Way," said co-author Preshanth Jagannathan, of the NRAO, in a statement from Spain's Center for Astrobiology.

"It appears that this whole system eventually will collapse into a single, gigantic galaxy," Jagannathan said.

In addition to its size, the cloud of gas is surprisingly cold.

"It's shocking how cold this gas must be — about minus 200 degrees Celsius (minus 350 degrees Fahrenheit)," study co-author Matthew Lehnert, a professor at the Institute d’Astrophysique de Paris, said in the same statement. "We expect a fiery process — lots of galaxies falling in and heating gas up. Therefore, we expected that all the cold gas would be locked up deep within the galaxies."

Instead, the cold cloud surrounded the protogalaxies, feeding their evolution. Its composition is also surprising. Observations revealed a large quantity of carbon monoxide, material forged in the heart of stars and released in their explosive deaths. Only a third of that material is locked up inside the galaxies, while the rest lies between them. Rather than consuming pristine gas, the Spiderweb Galaxy is relying on recycled material to fuel its growth. Still, its exact source remains a mystery.

"The carbon monoxide that we detected is a byproduct of previous stars, a form of cosmic recycling, but we cannot say for sure where the gas came from or how it accumulated in the cluster core," Emonts said. "To find out, we'd have to look even deeper into the universe's history."

Swiss Finance Company Invests Big Shares in Mars One

Swiss Finance Company Invests Big Shares in Mars One

NASA
IN BRIEF
  • The shareholders of a Swiss financial services company have agreed to a takeover bid of the Mars One space organization. Hopefully, the move will forward the company's big plans to establish a permanent human settlement on Mars.
  • Getting to the Red Planet is an expensive business, and the leading contenders are scrambling to acquire sufficient cash to underwrite their dreams.

marsoneconsi.jpg

Mars One consists of two entities: the Dutch not-for-profit Mars One Foundation and a British public limited company Mars One Ventures

FUNDING THE MISSIONS

Many Mars missions are facing a very blunt controversy: how much is it going to cost to send people up there to study and possibly colonize the Red Planet?

A contender in the Mars space race is Mars One, a space tech organization that originates in the Netherlands. The company has two direct arms: the Dutch non-profit Mars One Foundation, and the British public company in charge of monetization, Mars One Ventures. Now, the Ventures profit arm has announced an agreement with Swiss InFin Innovative Finance AG to a shares takeover bid.

“The acquisition is now only pending approval by the board of Mars One Ventures,” the companies said in a joint announcement.

The finance takeover solidifies Mars One’s efforts to establish a permanent human settlement on the Red Planet. On the Mars One website, they discussed their reliance on corporate investments and donations as a primary funding source. The space tech company did try to gain additional funding by pitching a television reality show about the missions to and life on Mars, but this was axed by their partner production company.

$PACE RACE

To get to the Red Planet is a big dream that needs to bring in big bucks. The different companies gearing up to get us there are funded in different ways.

NASA plans to bring astronauts to Mars itself by the 2030s. It’s funded by the US governmentusing federal revenue from income, corporate, and other taxes.

SpaceX receives most of its seed money from billionaire founder Elon Musk. It also gains much from its government subsidy, with an estimated $4.9 billion coming in for the space tech company and Musk’s electric car empire, Tesla. SpaceX has a more urgent timeline, and they plan to get millions of people up to the Martian “colonies” by 2024—just check out their new outline for a future “Mars-shot.”

Lockheed Martin, based in Maryland, is another privately-owned aerospace company with dreams of the Red Planet dancing through its head. Their Mars Base Camp, a collaboration with NASA, believes it can send astronauts to space by around 2028. It sources funds from its numerous corporate profits, together with investments.

While we’re not sure who can get us to Mars first, what’s certain is that it’s going to take a lot of money to do it.

Atlas the Life-Sized Robot Just Became a Bit More Human

Atlas the Life-Sized Robot Just Became a Bit More Human

 Atlas-p3.jpgAtlas left foot forwardAtlas front
IHMC
IN BRIEF
  • Humanoid robots just got a major upgrade: they can walk!
  • A new "walking algorithm" has been developed at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) for Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot.

Atlas Robot balancing algorithm

STEPPING OUT

We’ve come a step closer to those human-like, walking “droids” we all love from the Star Wars universe. A new locomotion algorithm has been developed that allows the Atlas robot to gingerly walk through rough and uneven terrain.

Most robots would need flat surfaces to traverse. This control algorithm, developed at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) for the Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics, mimics a human-like line of thinking of deliberating carefully before making a step. Atlas balances itself before stepping onto an uneven foothold.

“Our humanoid projects are focused on enabling our bipedal humanoids [to] handle rough terrain without requiring onboard sensors to build a model of the terrain,” said the developers from IHMC. “Our goal is to tackle increasingly more difficult walking challenges.”

HUMAN ROBOTS?

Boston Dynamics’ Atlas has been in the works for a while now under the DARPA Robotics Challenge, a competition funded by the US Government. The company, a subsidiary of Google, has been continuously bringing out developments to make this robot as close to the human form as possible. Particularly, they have been focusing on equipping Atlas with balance and agility, qualities that traditionally would be quite difficult for robots.

Humanoid robots, once a tale from science fiction, are slowly coming to life. Today, they’re mastering walking through rubble and keeping balance on a thin plank of wood. Tomorrow, they could be indispensable partners in our daily lives. The calculated steps that Atlas now makes could be life-saving when put to the right uses. Like in the movies, the future could have artificially intelligent healthcare providers, policemen, and more.

Today, major industries are looking into getting help from humanoid robots. NASA is starting up their Space Robotics Challenge to possibly find an automated bot partner for future missions. Aircraft tech provider Airbus has used humanoids for their manufacturing line.

It looks like we’ll head into the future with humanoid robots, and they’ll be able to keep the pace with each step, no matter the terrain…

'SpaceShipTwo' Completes its First Successful Free-Flight

Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo completed its first free flight.
'SpaceShipTwo' Completes its First Successful Free-Flight

Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, dubbed the VSS Unity, took to the skies over Mojave, California this morning to complete the craft’s first ever free-flight test. And preliminary data shows it was a huge success.

Today’s flight marked the fifth overall flight for the VSS Unity, which has the distinction of being the only spacecraft built by the company’s in-house manufacturing team — TheSpaceshipCompany — and the 218th flight for its mothership, the WhiteKnightTwo.

Earlier in the week, the duo joined forces to complete a fourth captive carry test. Following the pair’s second captive-carry test in September, engineers decided that all systems were performing as expected and the crew could move onto free-flight testing. The first two attempts (both in November) were thwarted due to weather and an unexpected anomaly, which prevented the crew from separating the two vehicles.

That was not the case today. Following takeoff, the pilots of both vehicles tested multiple onboard systems, ensuring they were ready (and able) to release the spacecraft. Once they received the green light from the control room, the VSS Unity was set free and coasted down to a gentle landing.

Mission control reports all is going smoothly. Pilots conducting planned checks before release/glide of VSS Unity. #SpaceShipTwo

During free-flight (also known as a glide test) testing, the two vehicles take off as a mated pair, with the SpaceShipTwo detaching from the WhiteKnightTwo during flight before gently gliding back to the runway. In-flight testing allows engineers thoroughly study how various systems on board the vehicles perform during flight.

The glide tests are not designed to go into space; however, they are a major step towards Virgin Galactic’s ultimate goal: launching people into space. Before that can happen, the aerospace company must first prove its vehicles are safe to carry human passengers. In order to do so, the company has to complete a lengthy testing process that includes captive-carry, free-flight, and rocket-powered tests.

The road to space.
The road to space. 

Rocket-powered testing was suspended following a tragic accident in 2014, when the first SpaceShipTwo crashed as a result of pilot error. The accident resulted in the death of one pilot, leaving a second injured.

Today’s successful free-flight test, was a crucial step to resuming rocket-powered flights.

Release! VSS Unity has cleanly detached from WhiteKnightTwo, and is flying freely for the first time ever! #SpaceShipTwo

Both vehicles are reported to have landed safely, and the team will now begin the tedious process of analyzing all the data collected during the test.

Netflix A.I. Could Help NASA Search for Exoplanets

Netflix learning algorithm could help scientists search for exoplanets.
Netflix A.I. Could Help NASA Search for Exoplanets

What do NASA and Netflix have in common? Probably more than you would think. Researchers have developed a technique that uses artificial intelligence to help them search for and identify stable planetary systems. The technique is based on learning algorithms used by the streaming giant to offer online recommendations. This new tool will be used in tandem with NASA’s fleet of planet-hunting telescopes to identify planets that could potentially support life.

“Machine learning offers a powerful way to tackle a problem in astrophysics, and that’s predicting whether planetary systems are stable,” Dan Tamayo, lead author of the research and a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Planetary Science at the University of Toronto Scarborough, explained in a news release.

As a form of artificial intelligence, machine learning enables computers to learn on their own, without having to be constantly fed data or programmed for a specific task. These types of advanced systems are specifically designed to learn and adapt on their own when exposed to different data.

Tamayo says the team’s technique is 1,000 times faster than traditional methods in predicting stability. The results are available online in the current issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The team hopes the tool will be a valuable asset in astronomy, able to help scientists locate new planetary systems that could potentially hold life, as well as discern new information that would otherwise go undetected with current methods of observation.

Tamayo explains that, currently, astronomers rely on multiple methods to detect exoplanets. However, these methods are only capable of providing information on a planet’s size and orbital period — neither of which affects stability.

Understanding how stable a system is will allow researchers to glean insights into how they formed and better assess a planet’s chances for hosting life.

With the technique developed by Tamayo and his team, astronomers will now be able to measure a planet’s mass and its orbit, which will come in handy when analyzing data from NASA’s upcoming Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The two-year mission will search for new exoplanets by focusing on the brightest stars in close proximity to our solar system and is set to launch next year.

“It could be a useful tool because predicting stability would allow us to learn more about the system, from the upper limits of mass to the eccentricities of these planets,” says Tamayo.

Hubble Spies Distant Black Hole Voraciously Eating Host Galaxy

Hubble Spies Distant Black Hole Voraciously Eating Host Galaxy

The Hubble Space Telescope just snapped an image of cosmic crime in process: a supermassive black hole slowly consuming its host galaxy.

This supermassive black hole is lurking in the heart of an elliptical galaxy known as NGC 4696, which is the largest galaxy in the massive Centaurus galaxy cluster about 150 million light-years from Earth. The new observations from Hubble reveal that the supermassive black hole at its center of NGC 4696 has shaped the otherwise typical elliptical galaxy into a cosmic question mark.

Black holes are well known as cosmic monsters, with centers of gravity so dense they gobble up anything that crosses their path. On the plus side, these stellar behemoths tend to be messy eaters, which often results in beautiful works of cosmic art.

The new images reveal spectacular bands of curling filaments, which are composed of dusty ionized hydrogen, spiraling out into interstellar space. Data collected shows that the supermassive black hole is responsible for the dusty tendrils and thread-like filaments we see. Like brush strokes on a cosmic painting, the black hole is painting the cosmos with material from its host.

New research also suggests that the galaxy’s own supermassive black hole is also preventing the galaxy from creating new stars — meaning the galaxy is essentially dead. With no new stars being formed, once the black hole has consumed all of the surrounding galactic material, NGC 4696’s lights will go out forever.

HAWKING'S NEW CHILLING WARNING: 'WE’RE AT MOST DANGEROUS MOMENT IN HISTORY OF HUMANITY!'

HAWKING'S NEW CHILLING WARNING: 'WE’RE AT MOST DANGEROUS MOMENT IN HISTORY OF HUMANITY!'

The rise of the new worldwide Nationalism and Britain’s Brexit vote come at “the most dangerous time in the history of the human race,” according to the physicist Stephen Hawking. 
 
The Cambridge professor warns the political shift shows the majority of people on Earth are sick of the status quo and felt they had been “abandoned by their (ruling) leaders.
  •  “It was, everyone seems to agree, the moment when the forgotten spoke, finding their voices to reject the advice and guidance of experts and the elite everywhere. 
  • “For me, the really concerning aspect of this is that now, more than at any time in our history, our species needs to work together,” he added.
Hawking claims the world is facing major challenges, including climate change, overpopulation, food production, the decimation of other species on Earth, epidemic disease and pollution of the oceans. 
  •  “Together, they are a reminder that we are at the most dangerous moment in the development of humanity. 
  • “We can do this [overcome the challenges], I am an enormous optimist for my species; but it will require the elites, from London to Harvard, from Cambridge to Hollywood, to learn the lessons of the past year. To learn above all a measure of humanity.”
 He also added: “We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it.
  •  “Perhaps in a few hundred years, we will have established human colonies amid the stars, but right now we only have one planet, and we need to work together to protect it.”

HOELANG KUNNEN ZE DEZE PLANEET NOG VERBORGEN HOUDEN ? ( VIDEO )

HOELANG KUNNEN ZE DEZE PLANEET NOG VERBORGEN HOUDEN ? ( VIDEO )

bur.jpg

Enkele dagen geleden schreven we over hoe nauwkeurig het Bijbelboek Openbaringen verwijst naar de datum van 23 september 2017. 

Er zijn echter nog veel meer aanwijzingen die de grootste cover-up uit de menselijke geschiedenis aantonen. 



De datum van 23 september 2017 zoals die tevoorschijn komt uit Openbaringen 12 is dan niet een datum waarop de wereld zal vergaan of iets van dien aard, maar wel een bepaald punt aangeeft aangaande wat men in de Bijbel "de eindtijd" noemt. 

We hebben ook kunnen zien hoe een ander deel van diezelfde Bijbel kunt uitgelegd kan worden als de datum waarop de planeet Nibiru echt in ons leven zal verschijnen. Dat deze planeet op die datum een plek aan de hemel zal innemen die wordt omschreven als de plaats vanwaar de zevenkoppige draak zal proberen het pas gebaarde kind te verslinden. 

Vandaag gaat over andere aanwijzingen voor wat betreft de planeet Nibiru en haar metgezellen. Of de planeet die door astronomen "de Ontwrichter" wordt genoemd, misschien één en dezelfde planeet is als waarover in de Bijbel wordt gesproken. 

En als dat zo is, dan heeft de wereld te maken met de grootste cover-up uit de geschiedenis van de mensheid.


xxx

In het begin van de jaren tachtig werd er veel geschreven in de pers over een geheime Planeet X die zich in de uiterste regionen van ons zonnestelsel verborgen zou houden en voor de nodige verstoringen zou zorgen bij de planeten Neptunus en Uranus. Zo schreef men onder andere, "Er is “iets” dat als het ware trekt aan deze planeten en zorgt voor onregelmatigheden in hun normale omloopbaan. Deze kracht wijst in de richting van een grote en niet geziene aanwezigheid van een groot object dat wel eens de al zo lang gezochte Planeet X zou kunnen zijn". 

In januari 1983 gaat een 80 miljoen dollar kostend project van start waarbij een infrarode satelliet (IRAS) de ruimte in werd gestuurd om op die manier objecten op te sporen die onzichtbaar zijn voor het menselijk oog en er werd het publiek verteld dat een nog niet ontdekte planeet verantwoordelijk zou kunnen zijn voor de ontwrichting van de omloopbanen van Uranus en Neptunus volgens Dr. Thomas C. Van Flandern van het US Naval Observatory. 

Ongeveer een jaar later, op 30 december 1983 schreef de Washington Post een verhaal dat heette “Mogelijk zo groot als Jupiter”. In dat artikel schreven ze dat er een planeet was ontdekt die mogelijk zo groot was als de enorme planeet Jupiter en die zo dichtbij de aarde was dat het een onderdeel vormde van ons zonnestelsel. Deze planeet was ontdekt in de richting van het sterrenbeeld Orion. 

Volgens het verhaal destijds in de Washington Post hadden de IRAS wetenschappers berekend dat dit mysterieuze hemellichaam onze kant op kwam. Twee bekende wetenschappers uit die tijd, Dr. Gerry Neugebauer en Dr. James Houck, waren er wel zeker van dat de aarde niet op een ramkoers was met deze planeet ("It's not incoming mail. I want to douse that idea with as much cold water as I can."), maar ze zeiden ook geen flauw idee te hebben wat het wel was ("All I can tell you is that we don't know what it is.") 

Ook Harrington en Ferrada berichtten over de planeet en daarna werd het stil, doodstil en dat bleef zo gedurende 33 jaar. Wel stierven in de tussentijd vele astronomen, regelmatig onder verdachte omstandigheden, die zich bezighielden met de planeet Nibiru.

En dan nu, in de tegenwoordige tijd, is er ineens Planet Nine. Volgens wetenschappers kan deze planeet zich niet al te lang meer verborgen houden en hebben we te maken met een nog onzichtbare planeet van 10 keer de grootte van de aarde. 

Volgens astronoom Mike Brown zal het niet veel langer duren dan 16 maanden, voordat Planet Nine “officieel” ontdekt kan worden. “Ik ben er vrij zeker van dat het tegen het einde van de winter zal zijn. Niet deze winter, maar de volgende winter. Ik denk dat er voldoende mensen naar op zoek zijn en iemand zal erin slagen om hem te vinden”.


xxx

Net zoals de Washington Post dat deed in 1983, zo zeggen de astronomen Mike Brown en Konstatin Batygin nu dat er zich daar “iets” bevindt. Zij hebben dit "iets" de bijnaam "de Ontwrichter" gegeven. Wat ons betreft ligt die naamgeving direct in lijn met een andere naam die de onbekende planeet ook is gegeven: de verwoester.

Dus, waarom gingen in de jaren tachtig de luiken naar beneden, toen men al had toegegeven dat er een onbekende planeet was? In al de jaren die volgden werd iedereen die maar durfde te suggereren dat er misschien toch wel een onbekende planeet was, uitgemaakt voor aluhoedje en complotgek. 

Het is iedere keer hetzelfde liedje: Mensen die wakker zijn, ontdekken dingen, willen dit bekendmaken en de grote massa, onder aanvoering van een aantal overheidstrollen, maakt die ontdekking belachelijk. Wat zou de mensheid zichzelf een hoop ellende kunnen besparen als ze daar toch eens mee ophielden.


xxx

Hoe groot de krachten zijn die kunnen worden veroorzaakt door Planet Nine wordt door de twee eerder genoemde astronomen uitgelegd in de volgende video: 

 

Neem, met bovenstaande in je achterhoofd, een kwartiertje de tijd om de volgende video te bekijken en waarschijnlijk zullen veel puzzelstukjes op hun plek vallen. Dan zie je dat overheden zich vanaf 1983 druk bezighouden met het bouwen van enorme ondergrondse schuilplaatsen met daarnaast allerlei ondergrondse projecten voor mensen die het zich kunnen veroorloven. 

NASA heeft ook niet voor niets weer een infrarode telescoop de ruimte in gestuurd en ook een enorme infrarode telescoop op Antarctica geplaatst. Ja, zelfs het Vaticaan plaatste een infrarood telescoop met de toepasselijke naam LUCIFER.

Er bestaat zelfs een complete ondergrondse stad onder het vliegveld Denver dat via een ondergrondse spoorlijn is verbonden met Washington, zodat de elite in sneltreinvaart ondergronds naar hun schuilplaats kan reizen. 

Schuilplaatsen die er niet zullen zijn voor ons. 

 

Van het heden en de fanatieke voorbereidingen door de rijken der aarde, gaan we weer terug in de tijd. Een tijd waar ook sprake was van de planeet Nibiru. 

Een trouwe lezer schrijft het volgende (dank!): 

Gisteren een zeer interessante documentaire gezien dat weer wat meer openbaart over Niburu. 

Het is in mijn ogen een zeer goede documentaire over de Exodus uit Egypte. 

De makers weerleggen de periode waarin dit zou hebben plaats gevonden. Maar zonder dit te weten hebben ze de klok daarmee op ongeveer 3500/3600 jaar geleden gezet. 

De documentaire geeft een zeer goed beeld over de 10 plagen van Egypte en een mogelijke wetenschappelijke oorzaak van dit alles. 

In mijn ogen vergeten ze het belangrijkste aspect, de oorzaak die dit alles in gang heeft gezet. En daar komt nu net Niburu om de hoek kijken. 

Wanneer we dit op de huidige gebeurtenissen op aarde (vulkanische activiteit, aardbevingen etc) projecteren dan wordt e.e.a. duidelijk. Zelfs het openen van de zee vanwege een super eb veroorzaakt door bijvoorbeeld Niburu past nu volledig in het beeld. 

Veel kijk plezier:

Could this REALLY be the face of an alien? Meet the woman, 22, who claims she has extraterrestrial DNA (and can 'astral travel' to Mars if she fancies it)

Could this REALLY be the face of an alien? Meet the woman, 22, who claims she has extraterrestrial DNA (and can 'astral travel' to Mars if she fancies it)

  • Lea Kapiteli, 22, from Melbourne, always felt different as a child
  • Said she was visited by a presence, Mezreth, at 13, who explained her past
  • Mezreth told the then-teenager that she was a Starseed - of mixed origin
  • He explained that her mum's eggs had been fused with alien DNA
  • Since Ms Kapiteli says she's learned to astral travel in other worlds

Throughout her childhood, Lea Kapiteli, 22, from Melbourne, said she struggled with unusual physical encounters, strange experiences and presences.

Dismissing them as part of a childhood phase, it wasn't until she hit her teenage years that she found out what they really meant.

Ms Kapiteli told Daily Mail Australia that at the age of 13 she was visited by someone in the night, who explained her past, told her why she felt different to other girls her age, and spoke about the true nature of her heritage.

The presence, who she said was called Mezreth, told Ms Kapiteli that she wasn't like other teenagers. Instead, she was an alien hybrid.

Ms Kapiteli said her mother's eggs had been harvested while she was sleeping, and fused with those of an alien - leaving Ms Kapiteli's genes spliced with extraterrestrial DNA.

 Mezreth explained my past. He said: 'Those years you keep trying to forget, those experiences, they were real Lea'

'It was a strange encounter, but it also made a lot of sense,' Ms Kapiteli told Daily Mail Australia.

'For years, I had felt like these things were just vivid dreams and not reality - I had tried to reason unusual experiences away.

'Suddenly, Mezreth was explaining my past. He said: "Those years you keep trying to forget, those experiences, they were real Lea".'

For years, Ms Kapiteli (pictured) had tried to reason away unusual experiences - however, Mezreth told her they were real and she said it started to make 'a lot of sense'

After that night, Mezreth visited Ms Kapiteli countless times, to further explain her heritage and also tell Ms Kapiteli that she was a Starseed:

 When I found out I was a Starseed, I knew I was here for a reason: to witness life on earth

'A Starseed is someone with mixed origin,' explained Ms Kapiteli.

'It's someone who is human, and who was born on earth, but who doesn't have wholly human origins.'

Mezreth explained why Ms Kapiteli had felt 'disconnected' through childhood - she was special.

'For years, I had felt everyone else just clicked while I was abnormal. When I found out I was a Starseed, I knew I was here for a reason: to witness life on earth,' she said.

Through meetings and further encounters, Ms Kapiteli started to learn more from Mezreth.

He taught her to astral travel (an out-of-body experience in which you can travel through different universes), and Ms Kapiteli has enjoyed countless adventures since. 

'At the beginning I had no control of where I was going, but now I have more and more,' she said. 

'Through a bit more concentration and meditation, if I want to go to Mars, I can go there.'

These days, Ms Kapiteli feels fully at home with being a Starseed.

'It took my mum a little bit of time to understand, but she was great and went to research it on the Internet,' she said.

'When I was a child, I had always explained these things to her and she had put it down to me having an overly creative imagination. 

'But after she did some research, it also made perfect sense to her.'

Ms Kapiteli says she is still a novice when it comes to being a Starseed, but she wants to be a 'helper', and assist others in understanding why they might be alien hybrids, too.

'I can understand and appreciate how hard it can be to accept that you might be a Starseed, but once you do, it's much easier,' she said.

'It's so important to talk to someone and share your experiences.

'Being a Starseed is integral to your being and ignoring it will only make it worse.'

Luckily, the 22-year-old says she has a very supportive boyfriend who is 'totally cool with the whole thing'.

'I thought, being different, I'd be single my whole life and wind up like some crazy cat lady,' she said.

'But he's very supportive and we talk about it a lot. Who knows whether it will be passed down to my future children?'

Maak kennis met de vrouw (22) die claimt dat ze buitenaards DNA heeft (en astrale reizen maakt)

Lea Kapiteli (22) uit het Australische Melbourne had in haar jeugd naar eigen zeggen bijzonder vreemde ervaringen.

Toen ze 13 jaar oud was kreeg ze ’s nachts bezoek van iemand die uitleg gaf over haar verleden en haar vertelde waarom ze anders was dan andere meisjes van haar leeftijd.

De aanwezigheid, die zich voordeed als Mezreth, zei dat ze een buitenaardse hybride was, schrijft Daily Mail Australia.

Buitenaards materiaal

Kapiteli zei dat aliens bij haar moeder eicellen hebben weggehaald terwijl ze sliep. Vervolgens zou aan de eicellen buitenaards materiaal zijn toegevoegd.

Lea Kapiteli (Facebook)

“Het was een vreemde ontmoeting, maar er vielen ook veel puzzelstukjes op hun plaats,” zei ze.

“Jarenlang dacht ik dat ik gewoon hele levendige dromen had, ik probeerde steeds een rationele verklaring te bedenken voor de ongewone ervaringen,” voegde ze toe.

“Mezreth legde uit dat die ervaringen echt waren,” klonk het.

Starseed

Na die ene nacht kreeg Kapiteli naar eigen zeggen nog talloze keren bezoek van Mezreth. Ze kreeg ook te horen dat ze een Starseed (sterrezaad) was.

“Een Starseed is iemand van gemengde herkomst,” legde ze uit.

“Het is iemand die mens is, op aarde is geboren, maar die geen menselijke oorsprong heeft,” zei ze.

Kapiteli dacht altijd dat ze raar was, maar daar kwam een einde aan toen ze tot de ontdekking kwam dat ze een Starseed was.

Astraal reizen

Ze zegt dat ze hier is om het leven op aarde te aanschouwen.

Mezreth zou de jonge vrouw ook geleerd hebben om astraal te reizen. “Als ik me goed concentreer tijdens een meditatie kan ik naar Mars gaan als ik dat wil,” lichtte ze toe.

Kapiteli zegt dat ze andere buitenaardse hybriden wil gaan helpen. “Het is zo belangrijk om met iemand te praten en je ervaringen te delen,” zei ze.

‘Heus spektakel’: Kans op zeldzame parelmoerwolken op pakjesavond

'Heus spektakel': Kans op zeldzame parelmoerwolken op pakjesavond

‘Heus spektakel’: Kans op zeldzame parelmoerwolken op pakjesavond

Het wordt maandag misschien koud genoeg om zeldzame parelmoerwolken te zien in Nederland. Deze prachtige wolken zijn vrij uniek in deze omgeving.

Parelmoerwolken ontstaan in de stratosfeer als de temperatuur er rond -80 graden Celsius ligt. De weermodellen laten voor maandag temperaturen zien die rond -80 liggen, meldt Weerplaza.

De meeste kans om deze wolken te zien is tegen het einde van de middag. De zon is dan net onder, maar belicht nog wel eventuele wolken die op zo’n 15 kilometer hoogte voorbij komen.

Vrij helder

Het is waarschijnlijk vrij helder, alleen in het westen kunnen wat wolken overdrijven die het zicht kunnen belemmeren.

Als het dinsdagochtend voor zonsopkomst helder is, zou je het ook nog even kunnen proberen. De stratosfeer is dan nog steeds erg koud.

Heus spektakel

Meteoroloog Raymond Klaassen: “De kans is niet heel groot, maar het is zeker de moeite waard om even te kijken. Mooie parelmoerwolken kunnen een heus spektakel zijn. Het zou toch een mooi extra cadeautje zijn op pakjesavond.”

Afgelopen februari waren de stratosferische wolken in Nederland voor het eerst sinds 1996 te zien. Toen werden in de atmosfeer uitzonderlijk lage temperaturen gemeten.

In februari werden parelmoerwolken ook gezien boven Dublin:

Fife Symington, Republican Governor of Arizona
Date of sighting: March 13, 1997
Location of sighting: Phoenix, Arizona, USA
 
Ten years after the Arizona UFO incident known as the 'Phoenix Lights', former Arizona Republican Governor Fife Symington, III, now says that he himself was a witness to one of the strange unidentified flying objects. "I witnessed a massive delta-shaped craft silently navigate over Squaw Peak.."

On March 13, 1997, one of the most massively witnessed UFO sightings occurred in the skies over and around Phoenix, Arizona.  Witnessed by thousands of people and photographed by hundreds, there is no doubt that something was seen over the skies of Phoenix that night.  The question remains - what did they see?

The strange lights were sighted during a three hour period between 7:30pm and 10:30pm on March 13.  They covered a 300 mile corridor from the Nevada line through Phoenix to the Northern edge of Tucson.  Since thousands of witnesses called local Air Force bases, news stations, and UFO organizations with their reports, we are able to glean the exact route that the mysterious object took.

Dennis Kucinich, US Congressman & Presidential canidate.
Sighting Location:  Graham, Washington, USA
Sighting Date: September 1982
 
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper, October 22, 2007 :


Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has seen a UFO, writes Shirley MacLaine in her new book, "Sage-Ing While Age-Ing." 


Kucinich, she writes on page143-144 of the book, "had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there. Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him. It hovered, soundless, for ten minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind."


During a Democratic Presidential debate in October, 2007 in Philadelphia, Tim Russert of NBC News asked Kucinich if he saw a UFO. "This is a serious question," Russert said before asking the question. The Chicago Tribune quotes the candidate's reply: 


"I did," Kucinich said. 


"And the rest of the account -- I didn't -- I -- it was unidentified flying object, okay. It's like -- it's unidentified. I saw something. 


"Now, to answer your question," Kucinich said, "I'm moving my -- and I'm also going to move my campaign office to Roswell, New Mexico and another one, an extra, to New Hampshire, okay... And also, you have to keep in mind that more -- that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO, and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs than, I think, approve of George Bush's presidency."

Reinhold Messner, famous mountain climber from Italy.
Date of sighting: 1981
Location of sighting:  Katmandu, Nepal
 
KATMANDU, Nepal — Italian Reinhold Messner, one of the world's foremost mountaineers, said Friday he watched a UFO "the size of a full moon" for nearly three hours while climbing in the Himalayas.


On his return to Katmandu after an unsuccessful attempt on 24,248-foot Mount Chamlang, he said he spotted the UFO as it drifted south into Nepal from Tibet over the mighty snowcapped mountains. 


"It was moving very slowly," he said. "It moved eastward and then went again southwest and drifted finally north into Tibet." His climbing partner Doug Scott, a British schoolteacher, also sighted the object, he said, as did a nearby joint Polish-British expedition, but at a different time. 


"It could not be a satellite because they move in an eliptical manner." he said. "The movements of this object were irregular."

John Lennon.
Sighting Date: August 23, 1974
Sighting Location: New York City, New York, USA
 

August 23, 1974 - John Lennon reports seeing a UFO in NYC. Lennon's sighting occurred when he was with his personal secretary, May Pang, in New York, at the time when he and Yoko Ono were separated. He refers to the experience on the cover of his album "Walls And Bridges", which was released in 1974, saying that he saw a UFO. May Pang reports in her book, "Loving John".... 

"We had just ordered up some pizzas and since it was such a warm evening, we decided to step out on the terrace," recalled Pang. "There were no windows directly facing us from across the street, so John just stepped outside with nothing on, in order to catch a cool breeze that was coming in right off the East River. I remember I was just inside the bedroom getting dressed when John started shouting for me to come out on the terrace. 

I yelled back that I would be right there but he kept screaming for me to join him in that instant. As I walked out onto the terrace, my eye caught this large, circular object coming towards us. It was shaped like a flattened cone and on top was a large, brilliant red light, not pulsating as on any of the aircraft we'd see heading for a landing at Newark Airport. When it came a little closer, we could make out a row or circle of white lights that ran around the entire rim of the craft - these were also flashing on and off. There were so many of these lights that it was dazzling to the mind. It was, I estimate, about the size of a Lear jet and it was so close that if we had something to throw at it, we probably would have hit it quite easily." 

Eerily the object passed by. 

"We often had helicopters flying above us but this was as silent as the night and about seventeen storeys above street level." The object flew off but returned later, by which time she and Lennon had set up a telescope through which they could view it in more detail. "The light was so brilliant coming from the craft that no additional details could be seen. We did take a couple of pictures but they turned out overexposed." They also rang a local newspaper to report the sighting and were told at least seven other people had seen the UFO too. 

"We even called the police, that's how excited we were, and they told us to keep calm, that others had seen it too." During what was left of the evening, John kept saying, "I can't believe it... I can't believe it... I've seen a flying saucer!"

Major General Vladimir Kovalyonok, Russian Cosmonaut
Date of sighting: May 5, 1981
Location of sighting: Orbiting Earth
 
Below is his drawing of the UFO he saw.
Screen+shot+2011-04-23+at+11.43.47+AM.png
 

Many cosmonauts have seen phenomena which are far beyond the experiences of earthmen. For ten years I never spoke on such things. The encounter you asked me about happened on May 5, 1981, at about 6 PM, during the Saljut Mission. At that time we were over the area of South Africa, moving towards the area of the Indian ocean. I just made some gymnastic exercises, when I saw in front of me, through a porthole, an object which I could not explain. It is impossible to determine distances in Space. A small object can appear large and far away and the other way around. Sometimes a cloud of dust appears like a large object. Anyway, I saw this object and then something happened I could not explain, something impossible according to the laws of Physics. The object had this shape, elliptical, and flew with us. From a frontal view it looked like it would rotate in flight direction. 

It only flew straight, but then a kind of explosion happened, very beautiful to watch, of golden light. This was the first part. Then, one or two seconds later, a second explosion followed somewhere else and two spheres appeared, golden and very beautiful. 


After this explosion I just saw white smoke, then a cloud-like sphere. Before we entered the darkness, we flew through the terminator, the twilight-zone between day and night. We flew eastwards, and when we entered the darkness of the Earth shadow, I could not see them any longer. The two spheres never returned.

Victor Afanasyev, Soviet Cosmonaut
Date of sighting: April 1979
Location of sighting: Earth orbit, enroute to Soviet Solyut 6 Space Station

In April of 1979, Cosmonaut Victor Afanasyev lifted off from Star City to dock with the Soviet Solyut 6 space station. But while en route, something strange happened. Cosmonaut Afanasyev saw an unidentified object turn toward his craft and begin tailing it through space.


"It followed us during half of our orbit. We observed it on the light side, and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely. It was an engineering structure, made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner hulls. The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. Some places had projections like small wings. The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it, and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away." 


In addition to photographing the UFO, Afanasyev continually reported back to Mission Control about the craft's size, its shape and position. When the cosmonaut returned to earth he was debriefed and told never to reveal what he knew, and had his cameras and film confiscated. 


Those photos and his voice transmissions from space have never been released. 


It is only now, with the collapse of the Soviet Union that Afanasyev feels that he can safely tell his story. 


"It is still classified as a UFO because we have yet to identify the object."

James McDivitt, NASA Astronaut, Gemini 4
Date of sighting: June 1965
Location of sighting: Orbiting Earth
 

In June 1965, Major James McDivitt saw, filmed, and photographed an object, which approached the Gemini IV (3rd June – 7th June 1965) capsule in which they were orbiting the Earth, passing over Hawaii. The UFO had a long arm sticking out of it. 

Here is what Major James McDivitt repeated many times: 

"I was flying with Ed White. He was sleeping at the time so I don't have anybody to verify my story. We were drifting in space with the control engines shut down and all the instrumentation off (when) suddenly (an object) appeared in the window. It had a very definite shape - a cylindrical object - it was white - it had a long arm that stuck out on the side. I don't know whether it was a very small object up close or a very large object a long ways away. There was nothing to judge by. I really don't know how big it was. We had two cameras that were just floating in the spacecraft at the time, so I grabbed one and took a picture of (the object) and grabbed the other and took a picture. Then I turned on the rocket control systems because I was afraid we might hit it. At the time we were drifting - without checking I have no idea which way we were going - but as we drifted up a little farther the sun shone on the window of the spacecraft. The windshield was dirty - just like in an automobile, you can't see through it. So I had the rocket control engines going again and moved the spacecraft so that the window was in darkness again - the object was gone. I called down later and told them what had happened and they went back and checked their records of other space debris that was flying around but we were never able to identify what it could have been. The film was sent back to NASA and reviewed by some NASA film technicians. One of them selected what he thought was what we talked about, at least before I had a chance to review it. It was not the picture - it was a picture of a sun reflection on the window."

Buzz Aldrin, NASA Astronaut
Date of sighting:  July 18, 1969
Location of sighting: Moon
 
Buzz stated this in an interview:
 
Buzz Aldrin: There was something out there that, uh, was close enough to be observed and what could it be? 


Narrator: Traveling along side of Apollo 11 was a mysterious object like this one (a ringed object at close range is shown), filmed on a later mission. If it wasn't part of their own rocket, it could only be one thing, a UFO. 


Aldrin: Mike (Collins) decided he thought he could see it in the telescope and he was able to do that and when it was in one position, that had a series of ellipses, but when you made it real sharp it was sort of L shaped. That didn't tell us very much. 


Dr. David Baker (Apollo 11 Senior Scientist): NASA knew very little about, um, the object reported by the Apollo 11 crew. It was obviously an unidentified flying object, but such objects were not uncommon and the history of even earth orbit space flights going back over the previous years indicated that several crews saw objects. 


Narrator: Despite having a clear view of the UFO, the crew were wary of reporting it to Mission Control. 


Aldrin: Now, obviously, the three of us were not going to blurt out, 'Hey Houston we got something moving along side of us and we don't know what it is, you know, can you tell us what it is?'. We weren't about to do that, cause we know that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and who knows what somebody would have demanded that we turn back because of Aliens or whatever the reason is, so we didn't do that but we did decide we'd just cautiously ask Houston where, how far away was the S-IVB? 


Narrator: Unaware of the drama unfolding in space, Mission Control radioed the position back to Apollo 11. 


Mission Control: 'Apollo 11, Houston. The S-IVB is about 6,000 nautical miles from you now, over.' 


Aldrin: And a few moments later, why they came back and said something like it was 6,000 miles away because of the maneuver, so we really didn't think we were looking at something that far away, so we decided that after a while of watching it, it was time to go to sleep and not to talk about it anymore until we came back and (went through) debriefing. 


Narrator: To this day, whatever it was that the crew saw has never been positively identified or officially acknowledged.

Gordon Cooper, NASA Astronaut.
Date of sighting:  1957
Location of sighting:  Edwards Air Force Base, California, USA
 

In 1957, Cooper was one of an elite band of test pilots at Edwards Air Force Base in California, in charge of several advanced projects, including the installation of a precision landing system. 

"I had a camera crew filming the installation when they spotted a saucer. They filmed it as it flew overhead, then hovered, extended three legs as landing gear, and slowly came down to land on a dry lake bed! 


"These guys were all pro cameramen, so the picture quality was very good. 


"The camera crew managed to get within 20 or 30 yards of it, filming all the time. It was a classic saucer, shiny silver and smooth, about 30 feet across. It was pretty clear it was an alien craft. 


"As they approached closer it took off." 


When his camera crew handed over the film, Cooper followed standard procedure and contacted Washington to report the UFO ­ and "all heck broke loose," he said. 


"After a while a high-ranking officer said when the film was developed I was to put it in a pouch and send it to Washington. 


"He didn't say anything about me not looking at the film. That's what I did when it came back from the lab ­ and it was all there just like the camera crew reported." 


When the Air Force later started Operation Blue Book to collate UFO evidence and reports, Cooper says he mentioned the film evidence. 


"But the film was never found ­ supposedly. Blue Book was strictly a cover-up anyway."


Cooper revealed he's convinced an alien craft crashed at Roswell, N. Mex., in 1947 and aliens were discovered in the wreckage. 


"I had a good friend at Roswell, a fellow officer. He had to be careful about what he said. But it sure wasn't a weather balloon, like the Air Force cover story. He made it clear to me what crashed was a craft of alien origin, and members of the crew were recovered." 


Why has the government kept its UFO secrets for so many years? 


"It started in World War 2, when the government didn't want people to know about UFO reports in case they panicked," said Cooper. "They would have been fearful it was superior enemy technology that we had no defense against. 


"Then it got worse in the Cold War for the same reason. 


"So they told one untruth, they had to tell another to cover that one, then another, then another . . . it just snowballed. 


"And right now I'm convinced a lot of very embarrassed government officials are sitting there in Washington trying to figure a way to bring the truth out. They know it's got to come out one day, and I'm sure it will. 


"America has a right to know!"

Richard Russell, US Senator.
Date of sighting: October 13, 1955
Location of sighting: Russian Federation
 
One of the most powerful U.S. senators in modern history actually eye-witnessed two UFO’s while on a fact-finding trip through Russia in 1955, and the U.S. government kept the sightings a secret for more than three decades. The incredible encounter is detailed in 12 TOP SECRET CIA, FBI, and Air Force reports, and declassified in 1985. Those startling reports reveal that Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr. (D-GA), then chairman of the Armed Services Committee, was on a Soviet train when he spotted a disc-shaped craft taking off near the tracks. He hurriedly called his military aide and interpreter to the window and they saw the UFO, plus another one that appeared a minute later. The astonished trio reported the sightings to the U.S. Air Force as soon as they were out of Russia.


The Air Force Intelligence report says Russell and his two traveling companions spotted the UFOs on October 4, 1955, while traveling by rail across Russia’s Transcaucasus region. "One disc ascended almost vertically, at a relatively slow speed, with its outer surface revolving slowly to the right, to an altitude of about 6000 feet, where its speed then increased sharply as it headed north," the report states. "The second flying disc was seen performing the same actions about one minute later. The take-off area was about 1-2 miles south of the rail line."

Walter Cronkite. CBS News anchor.
Date of sighting: 1950
Location of sighting: South Pacific
 
In the 1950s Cronkite was part of a pool of News Reporters brought out to a small South Pacific island to watch the test of a new Air Force missile. After a short inspection of the new system by the reporters, they were lead to an area that was a safe distance from the launch site. The missile was mounted on a specially-built launcher that was attached to a cement base. It was obvious that the area had been quickly built just for the test. The details about the missile were going to be given to the reporters in he form of hand-out sheets and press releases after the test.


Cronkite mentioned that he and the other reporters had been warned that photography of the missile test and any audio transmissions or recordings by the press were forbidden. They would have to give a written account of the event. Just as the test was ready to proceed, everyone was writing as fast as they could. As Air Force Security personnel walked around the perimeter of the test area with guard dogs and the news reporters watched, the missile was fired-up and about to be released. Just then, a large disc-type UFO appeared on the scene. 


Cronkite guessed that the object was about 50-60 feet in diameter, a dull grey color and had no visible means of propulsion. Because the noise of activity around him and the missile engine was so loud, he couldn't tell whether the disc made any noise. He did not notice any coming directly from the object. 


As Air Force guards ran toward the UFO with their dogs, the disc hovered about 30 feet off of the ground. It suddenly sent out a blue beam of light which struck the missile, a guard and a dog all at the same time. The missile was frozen in mid-air about 70 feet from the launcher as it had taken off. A guard was frozen in mid-step and a dog frozen in mid-air as it had jumped at the disc. Cronkite reminded me that this all happened within the space of about five minutes or less. 


Suddenly, the missile exploded! After that, the disc vanished. The guard and dog looked alright, but were quickly taken away by medical personnel always present at tests in case anyone became injured. At the same time, guards rapidly ushered the reporters into a concrete observation bunker. After about thirty minutes of sitting in that hot box, they were brought out into the air again and addressed by an Air Force Colonel. 


The officer told them, "It was all part of the test." Obviously making it up as he went along, the Colonel said that the event was "staged" to test media reaction to UFOs. He reinforced the usual line to the reporters that Flying Saucers were probably not extra-terrestrial, but what people were actually seeing was secret planes being tested by the Air Force. This test was designed to show the media how "shocking" it could be to suddenly view a new technology. Well, Cronkite was certain that what he viewed was a new technology, but he was also sure it was not an Earthly one! He didn't believe the Air Force explanation then, and he still didn't believe it at the time when he told me the story. 


After the event, reporters were told that since it was a test of media reaction to new technology, they could not report on it! But, they would be compensated later with exclusive stories on new Air Force projects (a promise that was never kept). Being as private as he was, Cronkite never did share with me his own beliefs about UFOs beyond the story he told me. I was so happy to have heard the story that I was afraid to ask anything further!

Clyde Tombaugh, Astronomer who discovered Pluto.
Date of sighting: August 20, 1949
Location of sighting: Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA
 
Tombaugh was probably the preeminent astronomer to have reported seeing Unidentified Flying Objects. On August 20, 1949, Tombaugh saw several UFOs near Las Cruces, New Mexico. He described them as six to eight rectangular lights, stating "I doubt that the phenomenon was any terrestrial reflection, because... nothing of the kind has ever appeared before or since... I was so unprepared for such a strange sight that I was really petrified with astonishment." A similar shocked response has been reported by many other who claim to have seen mysterious aerial objects.


Tombaugh was also later to report having seen three of the mysterious Green Fireballs, which suddenly appeared over New Mexico in late 1948 and continued at least through the early 1950s. In 1956 Tombaugh had the following to say about his various sightings: 


"I have seen three objects in the last seven years which defied any explanation of known phenomenon, such as Venus, atmospheric optic, meteors or planes. I am a professional, highly skilled, professional astronomer. In addition I have seen three green fireballs which were unusual in behavior from normal green fireballs...I think that several reputable scientists are being unscientific in refusing to entertain the possibility of extraterrestrial origin and nature."

Even Christopher Columbus, it appears, saw a UFO. While patrolling the deck of the Santa Maria at about 10:00 PM on October 11, 1492, Columbus thought he saw "a light glimmering at a great distance." He hurriedly summoned Pedro Gutierrez, "a gentleman of the king's bedchamber," who also saw the light. After a short time it vanished, only to reappear several times during the night, each time dancing up and down "in sudden and passig gleams." The light, first seen four hours before land was sighted, was never explained."

Edmund Halley, discoverer of Halley's Comet sees UFO.
Date of sighting: March 1676
Location of sighting: United Kingdom
 
Edmund Halley, the astronomer who discovered Halley's comet, could recall two accounts involving unidentified crafts. His first experience was in March of 1676, when he saw a, as he said, "Vast body apparently bigger than the moon." He estimated it at 40 mi. above him. He also stated that it made a noise, "Like the rattling of a great cart over stones." After estimating the distance it traveled in a matter of minutes, he came to the conclusion that it moved at a speed greater than 9,600 m.p.h.

Alexander the Great records two great "flying shields."
Date of sighting: 329 BC
Location of sighting: Central Asia

Alexander the Great records two great silver shields, spitting fire around the rims in the sky that dived repeatedly at his army as they were attempting a river crossing. The action so panicked his elephants, horses, and men they had to abandon the river crossing until the following day.


Alexander the Great was not the first to see them nor was he the 

first to find them troublesome. He tells of two strange craft 
that dived repeatedly at his army until the war elephants, the 
men, and the horses all panicked and refused to cross the river 
where the incident occurred. What did the things look like? His 
historian describes them as "great shining silvery shields, 
spitting fire around the rims... things that came from the skies and returned to the skies."

Kerstster zou wel eens uiterst zeldzaam astronomisch fenomeen geweest kunnen zijn - HLN.be

Kerstster zou wel eens uiterst zeldzaam astronomisch fenomeen geweest kunnen zijn - HLN.be

Iedereen kent ze wel uit het kerstverhaal: de ster die de drie wijzen naar het kindje Jezus leidde. Maar nieuw onderzoek suggereert dat die 'ster' wel eens iets helemaal anders geweest zou kunnen zijn: een zeldzaam astronomisch fenomeen dat de komende 500.000 jaar zelfs niet eens meer zou voorkomen.

"De 'ster van Betlehem' houdt ons al eeuwenlang bezig", aldus Grant Mathews, professor theoretische astrofysica en kosmologie aan de universiteit van Notre Dame, die de theorie ontwikkelde. Hij probeert al meer dan een decennium te achterhalen wat er precies aan de hand was in die tijd. "Waar en wanneer verscheen de ster? Hoe zag ze eruit? Welke ster kan die dag zó helder hebben geschenen?" 

Jupiter
Wel, volgens zijn studie van astronomische, historische en bijbelse bronnen zouden in het jaar 6 voor Christus de zon, de maan, Jupiter en Saturnus allemaal in het sterrenbeeld Ram hebben gestaan, Venus in het sterrenbeeld Vissen en Mercurius en Mars in het sterrenbeeld Stier.

Voor de wijzen - de priesters van Zarathustra uit het oude Babylon en Mesopotamië - zou de opstelling in het sterrenbeeld Ram gewezen hebben op de geboorte van een nieuwe vorst in Judea. De combinatie van de maan en Jupiter wees op de komst van een heerser met een bijzonder lot, terwijl Saturnus het symbool was van het geven van leven. 

Iets wat nog werd bevestigd doordat de Ram aanwezig was tijdens de zomerzonnewende dat jaar. "De wijzen zouden dat opgemerkt hebben in het oosten en dat zou hen aangezet hebben om op zoek te gaan naar de nieuwe koning", aldus Mathews. 

Baby
Iets wat wordt onderschreven door professor David Weintraub van de Vanderbilt University in het Amerikaanse Nashville. "De 'ster' leidde de wijzen dus niet naar de stal, ze vertelde hen gewoon wanneer ze op pad moesten gaan", vertelt hij. "Ze zullen ook geen pasgeboren baby gevonden hebben in een stal. Tegen de tijd dat ze de boodschap in de sterren ontcijferd hadden, zal het kind al zeker acht maanden geweest zijn. De opstelling begon op 17 april van het jaar 6 voor Christus met het opkomen van Jupiter en duurde tot 19 december van dat jaar, toen Jupiter niet langer naar het westen bewoog, maar even stil bleef staan en daarna naar het oosten ging." 

Mattheus
Volgens Weintraub zou dat ook de theorie zijn die Mattheus in het achterhoofd had toen hij zijn evangelie schreef, dat later in de bijbel werd opgenomen. In zijn tekst komen passages voor die hiernaar kunnen verwijzen. "Hij moet gedacht hebben dat het lezers kon overtuigen dat Jezus de profeet was."

Hoe dan ook, de astronomische opstelling in het jaar 6 voor Christus was een zeldzame gebeurtenis. Op een soortgelijke gebeurtenis is het nog 16.000 jaar wachten en dan zal de Ram niet eens aanwezig zijn tijdens de zomerzonnewende. Een compleet identieke opstelling is er sowieso niet de komende 500.000 jaar, zo hebben de wetenschappers uitgerekend.

This UFO was caught on the NASA All-sky cam, and shows a triangular UFO flying overhead. The edges of the triangle have Star Trek like Warp Engines on each side. The thing that is strangest, is that the UFO is semi cloaked, but becomes visible for a few seconds. Cloaks are vulnerable...especially to IR light, which may be the reason this UFO became visible here. Great catch by Nemesis Maturity of Youtube.

TRIANGLE SIGHTING OVER VERMONT
 
NOVEMBER 18, 2016  ……………  ST RUTLAND VERMONT


So it was Saturday the 19th Nov 2016. Around 8pm at East Center St. Rutland, VT.  Was getting ready to leave a friend’s driveway. Was looking up because the night sky was so clear. Wished to my self that a UFO would show up so I could share it with my friends.
Then I saw flashing lights, a possible plane, pretty far up, then it was stationary. With that I ran to my friends door and them come out (2 people) and pointed this out to them. almost due east.  What’s nice was there was a normal plane up there too, so we could see how there was a difference. It ended up seeming very long, there were 2 lights separated by at least a few hundred feet. One red light, one white light. Could not see the shape of object. 
We see another plane (both times, engines could be heard) but then new red and whites lights with all kinds of sparkling lights within a triangle shape. This was looking northeast and almost right above us at seemingly the same altitude again. Again a great way to show how different from the plane that was maybe a mile away from  the sparkling triangle. The one female friend said she was getting scared of this one, the male of the party then went inside.  Then I see a white lighted object moving across from my west headed to my north. Multiple red flashing lights turned on below it as it became stationary. Again it looked to be same altitude as the jets traveling. But I have seen this one twice before in as many years.
But have never reported because I felt they weren’t strong enough contacts, but with this 3rd sighting of it, I think it cements it enough to call it a sighting.

Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity Spaceship Makes 1st Solo Glide Flight

Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity Spaceship Makes 1st Solo Glide Flight

WASHINGTON — Virgin Galactic's second SpaceShipTwo performed its first free flight Dec. 3, a glide test that begins the next phase in testing of the commercial suborbital spaceplane.

SpaceShipTwo, named VSS Unity, and its carrier aircraft, WhiteKnightTwo, took off from the Mojave Air and Space Port in California at about 9:50 a.m. EST (1450 GMT). The spaceplane separated from WhiteKnightTwo at 10:40 a.m. EST (1540 GMT), gliding back to a runway landing in Mojave 10 minutes later, according to updates provided by the company.

The glide flight, which Virgin Galactic declared a success, begins the next phase in testing of the long-delayed suborbital vehicle that is ultimately designed to carry space tourists and research payloads to an altitude of about 62 miles (100 kilometers), exposing them to several minutes of microgravity. [In Pictures: 1st Glide Flight of VSS Unity Spaceship]

Virgin Galactic had planned to carry out the glide flight Nov. 1, but high winds led flight controllers to keep SpaceShipTwo attached to WhiteKnightTwo, turning the mission into the second "captive carry" test flight of the vehicle, after one in September. A second attempt, Nov. 3, was aborted because of an unspecified technical issue discovered prior to the planned release.

The vehicles took to the air again Nov. 30 on another captive carry flight. "As part of our ground & flight testing, we made a few tweaks to the vehicle," Virgin Galactic said in a tweet, which were tested on that flight. The company did not disclose the nature of the changes.

The flight is the first in a series of glide flights to test the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle before moving ahead into powered flights. In an interview at the International Symposium for Personal and Commercial Spaceflight in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Oct. 13, Virgin Galactic President Mike Moses said the number of flights will depend on how long it takes to achieve a set of test objectives.

"There's 10 glide flights' worth of targets," he said. "We could do those in 8 flights, or might take 15, but we're not going into the next phase before we clear those."

Once completed, SpaceShipTwo will begin a set of powered test flights. The first SpaceShipTwo, named VSS Enterprise, was performing its fourth powered test flight when it crashed in October 2014, killing co-pilot Michael Alsbury and injuring pilot Peter Siebold.

An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the vehicle broke up when Alsbury prematurely unlocked the vehicle's feathering mechanism, causing the tail section to rise up as the vehicle accelerated through Mach 1. The investigation criticized vehicle developer Scaled Composites for not taking steps to prevent such a premature unlocking and for creating a heavy workload for pilots of the vehicle.

The stand-down after the accident gave Virgin Galactic time to work on the vehicle's hybrid rocket motor, whose development had been troubled. "If the spaceship was ready, we could do a powered flight tomorrow," Moses said in October.

Planetary Scientists: Alien Life Might Not Need Planets to Evolve and Survive

Planetary Scientists: Alien Life Might Not Need Planets to Evolve and Survive

pia18003-full.jpg
This diagram illustrates the locations of the star systems closest to the sun. The year when the distance to each system was determined is listed after the system's name.
IN BRIEF
  • Scientists at the University of Edinburgh recently asserted that alien life could thrive in the atmospheres of brown dwarfs.
  • This revelation opens new doors in relation to where we should look for life beyond Earth and could set new targets for the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope.

LIFE IN A COLD BROWN DWARF

In the hunt for a celestial body that could host life (specifically, life like that found on Earth), scientists have typically looked for planets with surfaces similar to our own — about the same temperature, same chemical makeup, and, ideally, with liquid water like that from which we evolved. Now, a whole new group of space objects has joined the list of potential life-supporting hosts, and they don’t have a planet-like surface at all.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom have proposed that we look for life in the upper atmospheres of cold brown dwarfs. These “failed stars” have the same elements found in traditional stars, but they lack the mass to ignite. Somewhere between the size of a planet and a star, they can boast atmospheres that hover around temperatures that would be considered comfortable on Earth and with about the same pressure levels.

“You don’t necessarily need to have a terrestrial planet with a surface,” Jack Yates, a planetary scientist who led the study, told Science.

THE HUNT IS ON

This development would open up a whole new arena in the hunt for extraterrestrial life, just maybe not life that looks like we do.

Microbes like those that lurk high above our own atmosphere could be discovered, or perhaps we’d find some of the sky plankton Carl Sagan coined “sinkers.” “Floaters,” organisms that manipulate their body pressure to rise and fall within an atmosphere, could also be hovering above cold brown dwarfs.

Though we only know of a handful of cold brown dwarfs right now, about 10 of those are likely to be within 30 light-years of Earth. With the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) set to launch in just over a year, we may have our answer as to whether these bodies host life sooner rather than later.

Not only would it be a huge discovery if they do, it would also throw out the window our preconceived notions about where to look for life beyond our planet.

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

Wilbert Smith Discusses Communication with Aliens

wilbursmith

In a just recovered 1961 interview with television station CJOH, the former head of the official Canadian Government UFO investigations Wilbert Smith, was asked a number of questions about what he had learned during his days of investigating flying saucers for the Canadian government.

Wilbur Smith stated,

“In 1950 I was attending a rather slow-moving broadcasting conference in Washington D.C. and found that the U.S. government had a highly classified project set up to study flying saucers so I reasoned that with so much smoke maybe I should look for the fire.” He was able to get permission to become the Official Director of the Canadian Government’s UFO Investigation in 1950

He was one of the foremost communications experts of the day and worked as the chief radio engineer for the Canadian government. In 1956, he headed the countries radio regulations department. More importantly, he was in charge of monitoring 50,000 radio frequencies in Canada, and ran the Top Secret “Radio Ottawa” where spies would radio in to intelligence services.

 Q: Have you communicated with aliens?

Smiths answer (A) “Some of the communications have been on a face-to-face basis but I have not been so honored myself. Some of the communications have been by ordinary radio, and I have received a few messages by this means. But by far the majority of the communications are by what we call Tensor Beam transmission, which uses a type of radio with which we are only vaguely familiar, and which I couldn’t possibly attempt to describe now. However, the mental images of the person wishing to transmit are picked up electrically amplified and modulated into a tensor beam, which is directed to the person to whom the transmission is addressed, and within whose brain the mental images are recreated. The transmissions are therefore very precise, and independent of language. I have had some experience with these transmissions myself and can say that they are like nothing within the conventional experiences of earth people.”

Wilbur Smith’s writes UFOs are the most highly classified subject in US

Q: Do you believe that flying saucers are real?

A: Yes. I am convinced that they are just as real and tangible as most things we deal with in our everyday lives.

Q: Why do you think they are real?

A: Because thousands of people have seen them, many under circumstances, which virtually preclude misinterpretation, many of these sightings have been coordinated with radar fixes. Photographs have been taken and physical evidence has been accumulated.

Q: Have you ever seen a flying saucer yourself?

A: I have seen several objects which I concluded were flying saucers simply because they couldn’t be anything else.

Q: Have you, you actually handled any material believed to be from a flying saucer?

A: If by that you mean material substance showing evidence of fabrication through intelligent effort and not originating on this planet, I have. But I cannot say from my own knowledge that it was ever part of a flying saucer. Unfortunately, most of my contacts in this direction were through classified channels, which for some particular reason, which I could never fathom, insisted in “Classifying” these matters, and I am not at liberty to discuss them further.

Q: How long have you been studying flying saucers?

A: I didn’t get around to active participation until 1950, when I was attending a rather slow-moving broadcasting conference in Washington D.C. and having some free time on my hands, I circulated around asking a few questions about flying saucers, which stirred up a hornet’s nest. I found that the U.S. government had a highly classified project set up to study them, so I reasoned that with so much smoke maybe I should look for the fire. So I set about gathering as much sighting data as I could get a hold of and analyzing it, from which I concluded that there was a 91% probability that the saucers were real, and a 60% probability that they were alien craft of some kind.

Q: What is the “official” view of flying saucers?

A: I don’t even know if there is one, in Canada. It has been my experience that no one who takes even a little time to study the evidence available publicly remains skeptic very long. This is quite apart from those who have had access and studied the larger files of evidence collected by private and semi-official organizations.

Q: What have you found out about flying saucers?

Courtesy of Roswell Photo Interpretation Team)

A: There is much evidence that people who build and fly flying saucers are people very much like us. They have been seen on many occasions and there are many claims of personal contact having been established with them. Communications with these people tell us that they are our distant relatives; that we are descendants of their colonists on this planet, and that they still regard us as brothers even though we don’t often act like it. There is much evidence that the technology of these people is quite a bit ahead of ours, and that through study of the behavior of the saucers and from the alleged communications we have been able to piece together some of this amazing technology. We are informed that these people are really civilized, in that they regard all men as brothers; that they do not have wars, and live under conditions of personal freedom of which we cannot conceive.

Q: Have you any indication of why the saucers are here at this time?

A: There is much evidence in history, legend and the Bible, that flying saucers have visited this planet on many occasions in the past and that the present visitation is nothing new; it is simply a bit more intense than in the past and we have better news dissemination means now. I think that these people from elsewhere are concerned with our playing with atomic energy, and about our plans for space travel and interplanetary exploration and conquest. I am sure that they do not hold us in very high esteem, and are worried about what we might do if we ever got loose in space with nuclear weapons.

Q: Have you any ideas about how flying saucers operate?


A: they are not nearly so self-limited in science as we are. Our observations indicate that the saucers can hover indefinitely in one place, or they can dart off with very high accelerations. Also, they can change direction quickly; all this with utter disregard of the laws of inertia, as we understand them. From this we conclude that they must understand these laws better that we do and have found ways of getting around the situation. Our own work along these lines, aided by tips from outside, indicates that the trick is through gravity control wherein the earth’s gravity field is bent to accommodate the action required.

 Q: How do you think flying saucers affect religion?

A: As far as I can determine, these people from elsewhere are a great deal more religious than we are. They believe in a Supreme Creator, the brotherhood and divinity of Man, and a plan for the evolution of all. To these people, their religion is a matter of daily reality, not just Sunday profession, and they certainly seem to practice what we preach. I can find no contradictions with any of the religions of this planet

Q: Do you have any idea where these people come from?

 planets

A: I am informed through the many contacts that these people come from everywhere; that there is no place in the universe where men can live that he does not live.

Q: How about traveling about in the universe? Doesn’t it take a terribly long time?

A: I am afraid our ideas about certain things are due for a severe revision in the not too distant future. I am informed that time is not at all what we think it is, but is in fact variable. Also, that the velocity of light is not at all a limiting velocity. It merely appears so to us because we can’t see any faster. I understand that these people from elsewhere can and do travel about a great deal and they don’t take years to do it.

A: “I have made no secret of the information with which I am entrusted, and will gladly pass it on to anyone who is sincerely interested and wants to learn. I am NOT a missionary.”

Note: According to Smith’s son Jim Smith, shortly before his death in 1962 Wilbert called his son in, and told him that he had in fact seen the alien bodies from a crash, and had been shown a crashed flying saucer outside of Washington D.C., while conducting the official Canadian investigation. The 1961 interview continues. Thanks to Nick Balaskas who recovered this interview. The Smith files are held at the University of Ottawa and at: http://www.presidentialufo.com/quotes.htm

Strange Photos Appearing

marydanmaryrobbert

 I really devoured Filer’s Files #48 and found this very interesting. If you remember about a year ago, you published one of my pictures of Mary, a picture that appeared on our living room ceiling (far left. There is and was a striking resemblance to one that had just appeared in one of the Filer’s Files (Right photo).

I am also enclosing a picture that a friend of mine recently took in one of the tower windows at Swannanoa on top of Afton Mountain here in Virginia.

robbertandaftonmtn

This picture (bottom right) captured my attention and when I enlarged it, the bearded image bears a striking resemblance to Robert’s (bottom left) when he took a picture of himself, that he felt resembled that of Jesus. I don’t know what any of this means, but I thought that it was interesting. Love and Light,

Searching for Gold in Space

HOUSTON — If humans eventually want to become a space-faring species, we’ll need to be able to collect basic resources, like water, straight from the space environment; it’s too expensive and risky to send everything up from Earth, most experts agree.

As such, multiple companies are now trying to initiate a space mining industry, which could provide those basic resources for space travelers, or for robotic space operations. In the future, asteroids or the moon could even provide humans with resources that are rare on Earth, such as precious metals.

But there are major hurdles that need to be overcome before space mining can get off the ground, so to speak. Representatives from various companies pursuing space mining activities recently spoke about the state of the industry. The small probes are designed for one-way trips to investigate asteroid targets for potential mining. Here at the 2016 Space Commerce Conference [How Asteroid Mining Could Work (Infographic)]

Planetary Resources is one of several private companies hoping to mine the precious metals and water ice from asteroids. Many of the speakers on the panel made comparisons between space mining and terrestrial coal mining or offshore oil and gas drilling. Among other issues, that comparison leads to the idea of a mining supply chain, which refers to the activities that support the actual extraction of the desired materials. In terrestrial mining, that could mean everything from the team that surveys the land to find the best place to extract material, to the company that supplies food to the miners.

“The supply chain has a real place in terrestrial mining, and I’m suggesting that it also has a real place in off-planet mining,” said Dale Boucher, CEO of Deltion Innovations Ltd., which has been n working with NASA to build robotic mining technology for the moon.

Boucher said that for terrestrial mining, the supply chain can be broken into four major categories: exploration (to find a site that contains the stuff a company wants to mine for), development (essentially setting up an infrastructure to support the mining activity), operations (actual mining), and closure (on Earth, this typically entails returning the mining site to nature). Many terrestrial mining companies rely on outside companies to provide various aspects of the supply chain, and the same will likely be true for space mining companies, Boucher said. Therefore, there is an opportunity for other groups to get involved in space mining without actually doing the mining themselves.

“During the gold rush, if you’re going to be in the supply chain, you don’t want to be doing the actual mining,” he said. “What you want to be doing is selling the 50 pounds of flour and 10 pounds of baking grease to the guys who are going up there and struggling and looking for gold,” he said.

Another speaker on the panel, Chris Lewicki, president and CEO of Planetary Resources, made another comparison between space mining and the gold rush.

suttersmillgettyimage

Sutter’s Mill, California Getty’s Image. What’s that object above the Mill?

“I would love to be the first gold miner in Sutter’s Mill [in California] and in the Yukon [in Canada], where gold mining [consisted of] walking up the street and picking up the shiny things,” he said. “And what people don’t realize is that space resources will start from a base that is very similar to that.”

In the early days of space mining, companies may find that the materials they are pulling out of the moon or asteroids are relatively abundant and easy to collect, and that competition is low, Lewicki said. That means companies won’t have to produce a large amount of product in order to make a profit. “Low return, low production; basic technology is how this starts,” he said.

Of course, traveling to those space resources is much more difficult than walking up the street to the creek to pan for gold, Lewicki noted. In addition, building a supply chain for space mining will be extremely difficult, some of the speakers pointed out. Daniel Faber is CEO of Deep Space Industries, a company interested in exploration missions for space mining. Faber said the cost of launching those exploration spacecraft is so high that it might make those exploration missions impractical.

“Launch is the biggest thing slowing us down right now,” he said. “We can do an exploration campaign for $3.5 million. But the launch is going to cost us 10 [million dollars]. And that’s a boot in the teeth for an exploration company.” Credit: Deep Space Industries Karl Tate Space.com

 

marsopenpitmine

Alien Mars Mine.

There is strong evidence that both our moon and Mars have been mined. Mining is occurring on our Moon and Mars. ‘Yah’ or ‘YhHwh’ is marked on the edge of the Mars mine indicating ownership.

marsyawsign

Interestingly the Hebrew God is spelled YHWH (Yahwey.) Blowing winds do not spell out words. So can be sure intelligence on Mars made the sign. We can also speculate this intelligence came to Earth with sign language as is told in Sumerian, Hebrew and Egyptian ancient writings. Thanks to European Space Agency images.

 Allen Hynek

At a hearing in the U.S. House of Representatives, Symposium before the Committee on Science and Astronautics on July 29, 1968, Allen Hynek took some of his significant UFO reports out of wraps and presented them to the committee. He said,

“He admitted he first regarded the UFO subject as “rank nonsense.” But in describing his changed opinion he said;

“I have been led to a conclusion quite different . . . the cumulative weight of continued reports from groups of people from around the world, whose competence and sanity I have no reason to doubt, reports involving close encounters with unexplainable craft, with physical effects on animals, motor vehicles, plants, and on the ground, has led me reluctantly to the conclusion that either there is a scientifically valuable subset of reports in the UFO phenomena, or that we have a world society containing people who are articulate, sane and reputable in all matter save UFO reports.”

allenhynek

Dr. Allen Hynek

“. . . when one or more obviously reliable persons reports – as has happened many times – that a brightly illuminated object hovered a few hundred feet above their automobile, and that during the incident their car motor stopped, the headlights dimmed or went out, and the radio stopped playing only to have these functions return to normal after the disappearance of the UFO, it is clearly another matter.”

“By what right can we summarily ignore their testimony and imply that they are deluded or just plain liars? Would we so treat these same people if they were testifying in court, under oath, on more mundane matters?” 14

He also wrote a letter to his boss, Colonel Ray Sleeper (Oct. 7, 1968) which exposed the myriad problems of Blue Book and chastised the Air Force for releasing astronomical answers to cases without consulting him. Editor’s Note: Ray Sleeper visited me in my home and discussed UFOs and Dr. Hynek. Colonel Sleeper had personally observed UFOs while flying a B-52. He was ordered to fire Hynek, but then told to cancel the firing. Dr. Hynek made statements that were often controversial and in disagreement with Air Force point of view.

ufoexperience

Then he wrote his book The UFO Experience (Chicago: Henry Regnery Co., 1972), including within that letter and information he had gathered concerning problems in the Colorado Study, and published it four years later. This book can be considered a direct result of all these pressures. Hynek once again explained to the world what had happened, this time more completely and including his scientific methodology.

As if all this wasn’t enough to convince us of Hynek’s sincerity, we also note that Hynek was attempting to raise funds for the study of UFOs after the Air Force closed Blue Book. During several discussions I had with Bob Pratt, writer and field investigator for the Enquirer who had worked with Hynek in the mid-1970’s, he mentioned that Hynek left the Enquirer panel when he realized the Enquirer was not serious about providing funds for same.

So I finally conclude, his reversal with the Air Force, involvement with the Enquirer, the call he had made to me, and the observed strength of the cases he chose to detail in his own book and at the hearings at which he testified, make no real sense unless the man was truly searching for his own honest answer to one of the world’s most intriguing mysteries.

Clicking here will take you to my “devil’s advocate” piece by piece analysis of an essay, “Some Thoughts on J. Allen Hynek, written by Richard M. Dolan in which he asserts Dr. Hynek was a mole for the CIA. In it one will find more of my historical research which I believe directly refutes that theory. Thanks to Jerry Cohen.

Chile Jesuit Missionaries UFO Sighting

chile1631

SAN IGNACIO DE IPANE “On the 10th of August of 1631 something strange and luminous was seen to fly in the heavens. Between six and seven in the evening, a luminous globe of strange grandeur was seen to rise, flying unhurriedly and rather slowly, over the town, like a full moon. It gave off a large number of sparks toward the east, and upon reaching the western horizon, blazed with greater light, which was then diminished. In the time it takes to recite the Apostle’s Creed, it issued a tremendous report like thunder. A few kilometers away from this reduction there is a region belonging to the Chaco Province known as Campo del Cielo (due to the large number of meteorites that once fell in the area), making it possible to think that another meteor was involved, but when the document is analyzed word by word, as researcher

Antonio Las Heras did in one of his excellent works on the subject, we have no choice but to allow some room for doubt, and the possibility that the object reported was not a meteorite.  The object traveled slowly. It “gained altitude”, thus making it one of the first eyewitness reports of a UFO takeoff in this region, which covers the province of Misiones, near the Brazil-Paraguay border. Without going into detail like this excellent Argentinean researcher has done, we believe that the document in question is a valuable one, providing evidence that we have been visited by the these flying objects over the ages, objects whose point of origin we are hesitant to define.  NOTE: The above image is CGI. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ www.worldufophotos.org

China’s New J-20 Fighter

chinaj-20

The Black Eagle will certainly be the sharpest and most agile sword in the Chinese inventory, and it will be able to sneak in and deliver some crippling blows to any nearby adversary. This aircraft can keep you up at night if you’re parking C2ISR (Command/Control Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance) or Carrier Groups somewhere offshore. Armed with capable air-to-air missiles, and pilots trained in LO tactics, it’s enough the outclass any US fourth generation fighter while BVR (Beyond Visual Range) or provide highly capable strike and standoff to China’s leaders.

We don’t know much about the J-20 Black Eagle yet, but as more are built and tested details will emerge. We have yet to see if the larger WS-15 engines will be fitted, and personally, I’m interested in seeing what kind of low observable (LO) stealth performance capabilities the Chinese will be able to incorporate into the aircraft.

Some researchers speculate that the J-20 will have similar performance and agility as a Raptor; some think it will be a fighter/bomber only. I believe it has the ability to quickly penetrate enemy defenses, deliver weapons, and safely retreat. It’s not going to be an overly capable dogfighter.

From the J-20’s size to wing area alone, one can see that it simply will not be a highly maneuverable fighter. Especially with the weaker Saturn engines. It will be fast, and stealthy by some measure, but looking at the design and numbers we have on the J-20, I just don’t see it performing like a Raptor on most fronts.

rapter

US F-22 Rapter

Remember those figures from above that I asked you to remember? The J-20 is a large and heavy bird, that can possibly carry a lot of fuel, and it has smallish wings and lower thrust as compared to similar “fighters.”

What I can see the J-20 is shaped about as well as can be expected for a fighter aircraft (go figure, it looks like a Raptor, which was heavily tested and tweaked for stealth considerations). Front hemisphere designs appear to be in accordance with standard radar laws, with parallel lines, and minimum rough or flat edges. The J-20 uses angled chines along the sides of the aircraft (like the F-22), and a hidden engine intake design both to help lower side-section and front aspect RCS (Radar Cross Section).

Of course, a close-up examination of the J-20 will decide if the Chinese LO craftsmanship is up to par with Western standards. The tail section and engine nozzles appear to have little to no stealth treatments or shaping.  Website

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Light

az-pheonix4oct16

 Pheonix — At my backyard, I noticed something strange hovering above the area on October 4, 2016..I realized it is something really strange, I ran in the house and grabbed my binocular and my digital camera ( Canon 450 D with 55200 lens ).  It was a shape shifting Trans dimensional entity/object that at  some point transformed itself into the perfect orb/portal and hovered above without any sound for several hours. A half hour later a metallic object, ascended and hovered as well beside the orb/portal. It then descended into the orb/portal. The orb/portal still hovered for some time and then starts moving zig zag and suddenly descends. I realized that our realm is not the only one. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Object

calmtshasta25apr16

Mt Shasta — While I was driving up to Washington from California I took four pictures of Mt Shasta from my car on April 25, 2016… I was not looking very closely because I was driving. Funny thing is I never really looked at these pictures till I was freeing up some storage space and found them. I’m not saying these are aliens, but it’s not anything I’ve ever seen. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Florida Lights

aliens

West Palm Beach — I did not see a UFO, I had contact with the alien face to face. I was inches away from the leader. They looked like big grasshoppers and only communicate with each other by thinking about it. There weakness is the neck that is very small. They like to fight. I was thinking about ripping its head off but I was walking with my wife and granddaughter. When I started thinking about fighting an alien came out from the group and challenged me. I would have loved to kick it as it was a cocky bug. The third one just stayed in the bushes. Later, I realized I was communicating with them. Thanks to MUFON and http://thenightsky.org/images/phenomenon/brisbane/brisbane.jpg for the image.

Kentucky Light

kybentonnov1416

Benton — I’ve already posted a broad summary on some of the things that are my family’s normal sightings from age 7 to now. I had no video evidence so I went outside and got some. These are from two different nights about November 14, 2016. It’s not the most common object we see, but it is one we see most evenings. It comes at dusk and normally stays a couple hours. What we refer to as a non star stays until dawn normally and then leisurely flies away. This one effects my cell phone battery. I have a lot more pictures and videos. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Louisiana Triangle

triangle

Shreveport — I had gone outside to smoke and looked up and there was this object flying directly overhead on November 3, 2016. It was too slow to be an airplane and made no sound. This thing was huge and had four lights on it. I saw it very well. It was black with white lights on each tip and a red light on the underbelly. It was gone too fast to go back inside to grab a camera as we have woodlands pretty much around us. I have attached a picture I got from the internet. It is what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Minnesota Light

mnredwood-falloct16

Redwood Fall — One night my son stayed up late and decided to go outside on our back deck in October. He looked up and in the sky he saw this incredible object that was very bright. It was above the apartment complex next to our house. He heard no noise. We do have a hospital helicopter and a small airport but you always hear them when they are flying. We live in a very small river valley town of a population of 5,000. There is a big municipal park within eyesight. My friend before this sighting swore he saw little people just sitting across the street by the church. He came home panicked and scared. He described them as short little beings that ran down a ravine with running water. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oklahoma Objects

oktulsa19nov16

Tulsa — These four objects were headed towards each other on November 19, 2016. Then two went towards the Earth and one flew west, the other one north and then they disappeared. This occurred about 5:20 PM, this evening. I was in my car. Note: The witness has experienced other sightings during the night and day for past few days. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Pennsylvania Cylinder

paslippaeryrock

Slippery Rock — I was going out to film at sunset, when I seen this object, When I zoomed in I could see it had red and blue stripes in it and stayed the same size, At first I thought it was an airplane but it was flat in the front not like an airplane. I filmed it two times, one 47 seconds, and the other about 27 seconds, and it went out of sight. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS  Note: This is likely an aircraft vapor trail.

Tennessee Oval Light

tnnashville19nov16

Nashville — On November 19, 2016, the object was stationary and even though you can’t tell in the picture, it had three distinct lights. The shape was the same shape as the light you see in the picture, although it has a dark outline.

Note: The witness stated this sighting was similar to the sighting and photo of a stationary airborne light in Acworth, GA on Nov 17, 2016.

I saw the same thing in Nashville, TN on Nov 19, 2016. It didn’t move either and had been there for 20 minutes. I know you can’t tell in the picture, but it had three distinct lights on it. I took a picture of what I saw and it looks just like this. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Texas Wing

txmidland27nov16

Midland — I was in my office facing west on November 27, 2016, and took a photo with my Samsung cell phone of the sunset. I did not see anything unusual at the time of the photo, nor did my coworker.

Three days later I reviewed my photo and noticed the green sphere towards top of photo. Anonymity will be removed once my military status changes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Disc and Light

audisc

Taree and Port Macquari — Myself and five others were at a westward lookout facing a mountain range. My eldest (17 years) spotted something hovering and it appeared to be jumping left to right rapidly, giving off white flashes. I had the handy cam so these pictures are only frame grabs. The battery went flat! It was fully charged and was charged 30 minutes prior. I only just switched it on. We then saw a huge flash of white and it was gone.

Note: One wonders if the UFO caused electromagnetic interference resulting in the malfunction of a fully charged camcorder? This has been reported in the vicinity of other UFO’s. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website

aumaryborough14nov16

Maryborough — I have attached five photos that I took on the November 14, 2016, at 1915 hours. Four images show a colored sphere, number three shows nothing; the other four are quite clear blue color up and to the right of the full moon, Clouds show but only to the level of the moon. I am a retired Australian infantry Warrant Officer, and a qualified Chief Flying Instructor, retired, 75 years old in December ’16, I have no medical issues that affect me, I am not after any publicity, and all I require is for someone who is capable of seeing what I see! Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Lights

Ottawa — I was driving to the grocery store on November 5, 2016, I saw a light in the sky that at first I thought was an airplane, and then I noticed there were two lights. It kind of looked like two airplanes. I approached the parking lot, and it was apparent to me that these weren’t airplanes. They hadn’t really moved much and were looking bigger and brighter. I parked my car in the grocery store parking lot, facing the lights in the sky. The lights were much larger and brighter at this point; I had to film it, because I couldn’t figure out what they were. The light on the right appeared to be pulsating, getting bigger, smaller, like it was changing size/and shape. I made a quick video of it and then decided to take pictures. I tried zooming in and clicked repeatedly. I think I’m hallucinating, it’s so bizarre. The one picture shows the little gray shape just before it disappeared. The light on the left just hung around for a few minutes more and starts flashing. I may have actually finally seen an unknown object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

India Lights

india

People thought it was just an airplane, but it was a massive object in November.

After the first one disappeared out of sight a few seconds later a second one was seen going in the same direction as the first one.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ireland Lights

irelandleiteim25nov16

Leiteim — On November 25, 2016, I was walking my dogs up a county road and suddenly witnessed bright lights in a local farmer’s field.

It seemed odd as I’ve walked that path many times and never seen anything like this! I took a picture and as I captured it the lights disappeared and my phone crashed. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Ireland Spot

irshahr-e-kord14aug16

I am an astrophotographer and on August 15, 2015, I went to a dark place for taking photos of the Persoid Meteor Shower.

After a week I returned to review my photos and I saw this strange spot in the top of pictures. I think it is ufo because of its direction and shape. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Poland Ball

plrzeszow13sept16

Rzeszów — I was on a walk with my girlfriend and saw this silver orb on September 19, 2016, and took a picture of the hovering object.

I don’t know what it is as the object just hovered in the sky. I went to the same location the next day and I didn’t see it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Russia Object

ru1ja16

RI was watching a video on Facebook of a Ukrainian Su-27 jet do a low and slow pass, near the end of the video I spotted a very fast moving UFO fly toward the camera. Amazingly after reading all the comments on the video no one else had reported it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Lights

Boston — On my way home from work I saw some lights travelling in the same direction as me on November 25, 2016… After looking closer it did not look like an aircraft. Because the lights were large and square/rectangular and were flashing front, back and then centre.

Not sure how big it was, but I saw an aircraft in the sky when I was getting closer to home 20 minutes later and it gave me a reference, I would estimate that the object was five times longer than the plane. I tried to take a video as I was driving but the quality is poor, I had to turn away for a second and when I looked back it had gone? Thanks to MUFON CMS

London — I was at home, I saw a bright white streak with a dark centre on November 29, 2016, I first thought it was an airplane trail then realized it was too short to be a trail as the object descends the trail doesn’t extend. It was a white glow around a dark streak in the centre descending or moving laterally at an angle. It was close at first and slowly drifting into the northeast for about 15 minutes.

THE MOON DOESN'T BELONG TO US. ALIEN BASES ON THE MOON

THE MOON DOESN'T BELONG TO US. ALIEN BASES ON THE MOON

 
NASA later be removed some photos of those who were exposed or kept them, but at a much lower resolution, so the details could no longer be observed. This was also the case with a photo that captures an alien base on the moon, near Bessel crater north of the area called Mara Serenitatis. 
 
NASA surprise us but with some photos that were posted after they have been made by astronauts sent into space, showing clearly flying alien ships (UFOs). Dr. Franklin Roach said that after carefully analyzed the pictures and videos on the subject that have been made available and presented its findings in his book Scientific Study of Unidentified Flying Objects, showing that when they astronauts in orbit accomplished, as witnesses, observations very detailed, clear and precise, the alien space ships. NASA later denied, however, explaining that in fact those appearances were just "scrap" and "fragments" floating through space. This "explanation" was however repeatedly ruled out by numerous experts in various fields. 
 
From the plethora of evidence have been gathered over time, mention the story of the crew of Mission STS-48 of the space shuttle Discovery, which on September 15, 1991 reported that he saw a flash of light and then several unidentified flying objects swarming in obviously shuttle flight control around them. NASA explained those "objects" as ice particles. Other revealing some photos can be viewed here, accompanied by an appropriate comment.
 
 During STS-75 mission, astronauts on the shuttle Columbia witnessed hundreds of UFOs flew around their nevetei. They photographed and filmed the event in detail. The incident was classified by NASA in the "unknown" and "secret" and filming account appears never been presented so far to be studied. 
 
NASA confirms: "There are powers greater than we assumed" 
 
Von Braun, creator of the American Apollo program, stated in 1959 that: "We are dealing with powers that are much higher than we assumed so far, and whose base of operations is unknown to us." I wonder what kind of powers referred von Braun? Somehow the extraterrestrial? 
 
  • "Someone else is on the Moon" 
 
Having examined carefully the photos sent spacecraft Orbiter 3 and its predecessor, Orbiter 2 American author George Leonard wrote a book entitled "Someone else is on the Moon". George Leonard has presented many pictures in his book, some containing several "routes" that would have been made by aliens.

Mexicaanse UFO-groep: “We worden bezocht door ruimtewezens”

Mexicaanse UFO-groep: "We worden bezocht door ruimtewezens"

Mexicaanse UFO-groep: “We worden bezocht door ruimtewezens”

Een helder licht dat opdook tijdens de zonsverduistering op 11 juli 1991 zette de Mexicaanse UFO-wereld op scherp.

Duizenden toeschouwers zouden die dag een vreemd hemelverschijnsel hebben waargenomen en minstens 15 onder hen hadden kans gezien de UFO te filmen.

Een jaar later werd naar aanleiding van deze gebeurtenissen een documentaire uitgebracht die veel stof deed opwaaien.

Vreemde lichtvlekken

De Mexicaanse ufoloog en journalist Jaime Maussan was kort voor de zonsverduistering een eigen tv-show gestart, waarin contact met buitenaardse bezoekers één van de centrale thema’s was.

Toen enkele trouwe kijkers hun foto’s van de zonsverduistering hadden laten ontwikkelen, ontdekten ze vreemde lichtvlekken naast de zonneschijf.

Ze stuurden de opnames naar Maussan en vertelden erbij dat ze die met het blote oog niet hadden waargenomen.

Maussan toonde de UFO’s op tv en kort daarna kwamen de eerste filmpjes van het ‘ruimtetuig’ binnen.

Ruimteschepen

De respons was zo groot dat de ufoloog besloot tot de oprichting van Los Vigilantes, een groep die uitkijkposten in verschillende delen van Mexico bemant met camera’s in de aanslag.

In de daaropvolgende maanden doken meer dan 200 nieuwe video’s op. Stuk voor stuk echte ruimteschepen, aldus Maussan.

In onderstaande video tonen Los Vigilantes hun beeldmateriaal.

Duitse professor: Meest mysterieuze ster wordt mogelijk zwakker door aliens

Duitse professor: Meest mysterieuze ster wordt mogelijk zwakker door aliens

Duitse professor: Meest mysterieuze ster wordt mogelijk zwakker door aliens

De meest mysterieuze ster in de Melkweg blijft verbazen. Volgens sommigen draait om KIC 8462852 een grote megastructuur die zou kunnen wijzen op buitenaards leven.

Een aantal wetenschappers en sterrenkundigen beweert dat daar aanwijzingen voor zijn.

Uit een nieuwe studie blijkt dat er jets (straalstromen) zijn waargenomen bij de ster die een energiebron zouden kunnen zijn voor een buitenaardse beschaving.

Structuur

Er zijn dipjes waargenomen in de helderheid van KIC 8462852, die volgens sommigen verklaard kunnen worden door een structuur die gebruikt wordt door een hoogontwikkelde buitenaardse beschaving om energie te onttrekken aan de ster. Ook wordt de ster steeds zwakker.

Hoewel veel wetenschappers sceptisch zijn, denkt Eduard Heindl van de Universiteit Furtwangen in Duitsland dat er aliens bij betrokken zijn.

“Als een superbeschaving alle ruwe materialen heeft opgebruikt, kunnen ze meer vinden in hun moederster,” vertelde hij aan de Daily Mail.

Mijnbouw

“Onze zon bevat bijvoorbeeld 6000 keer meer metalen dan de planeten,” voegde hij toe.

“Ze moeten die eerst uit de ster halen en vervolgens in een baan om de zon brengen om ze af te laten koelen,” legde hij uit.

In de paper van professor Heindl wordt gesuggereerd dat buitenaardsen er mijnbouw plegen.

Moeilijk

De opvallende lichtcurve van de ster maakt het moeilijk een eenvoudige natuurlijke verklaring te vinden, aldus Heindl in de paper.

Hij heeft een wiskundig model opgesteld dat de betrokkenheid van aliens ondersteunt.

De energie kan worden onttrokken aan de ster door middel van een zogeheten Dysonbol, een begrip dat in 1960 voor het eerst werd voorgesteld door theoretisch natuurkundige Freeman Dyson.

Dysonzwerm

Zo’n Dysonbol zou eruit kunnen zien als een zwerm satellieten die rond een ster draaien. In zo’n geval wordt ook wel gesproken van een Dysonzwerm.

Als dergelijke structuren bestaan, zouden ze enorme hoeveelheden infraroodstraling richting de aarde moeten sturen. Tot op heden zijn ze echter nog niet gevonden.

Professor Heindl wil dit concept verder gaan uitdiepen. Zijn onderzoek staat op publicatiesite arXiv.

VIDEO: Alienjagers vinden gehoornd reptiel op rode planeet

VIDEO: Alienjagers vinden gehoornd reptiel op rode planeet

VIDEO: Alienjagers vinden gehoornd reptiel op rode planeet

Alienjagers hebben op recente NASA-foto’s van de rode planeet een reptielachtig wezen ontdekt, schrijft het AD.

De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie heeft nog niet gereageerd op de vondst, die bekend werd gemaakt via een filmpje op YouTube-kanaal Art Alien TV.

Sommigen denken dat het gaat om een merkwaardig gevormde steen die bij een bepaalde lichtinval toevallig op een soort hagedis lijkt.

Versteend

Anderen, waaronder Joe White van Art Alien TV, zijn van mening dat het mogelijk een reptiel is geweest dat ooit op Mars heeft geleefd.

“Het wezen is ingevroren en daarna versteend,” denkt White.

Er worden vaker vreemde vormen gespot op Mars. Deze week nog meenden UFO-jagers ommuurde stedente hebben gevonden op de rode planeet.

Bewijs

Ook foto’s van een ‘slang’ en een ‘schedel van een alien’ op de planeet maakten een discussie los.

Onlangs verscheen een nieuwe studie waaruit blijkt dat bewijs voor aliens mogelijk in 2007 al is gevonden op Mars.

Volgens een ander groot onderzoek ontdekten twee Marslanders in 1976 buitenaards leven op Mars en bestaat het nog steeds.

BIZARRE VERTONING BOVEN MEXICAANSE VULKAAN ( VIDEO )

BIZARRE VERTONING BOVEN MEXICAANSE VULKAAN ( VIDEO )

wc.jpg

De afgelopen jaren was de wereld getuige van veel vreemde objecten boven of in de buurt van de Mexicaanse vulkanen. 

Echter, dit keer is er iets te zien dat anders is dan anders en zeker vele malen groter. 



In Mexico zijn eigenlijk twee vulkanen waar altijd wel wat valt te beleven. De ene is die met die mooie naam Popocatépetl en de andere Colima. 

Bij beiden was afgelopen week het nodige te beleven. 

De Colima vulkaan, waar de webcam wel iets heel bijzonders vast wist te leggen. 

Het zag er zo uit:


xxx

De volgende serie foto’s geeft ongeveer een beeld van wat er achtereenvolgens was te zien.


xxx

Wat het ook is, het is enorm, want de krater zelf schijnt een doorsnee te hebben van zo’n 600 meter. 

Is dit een enorm ruimteschip dat zich middels een soort plasma-achtige structuur probeert te verbergen? En wat doet dit enorme schip dan bij de vulkaan? 

Heeft het iets te maken met het tanken van energie, zoals soms grote UFO’s dat lijken te doen in de buurt van de zon? 

Deze beelden zijn gevonden door de inmiddels bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1, de man die ongeveer 24 uur per dag bezig is met het ontdekken van bijzondere dingen. 

Ook hij denkt aan bepaald soort vermomming. 

 

De volgende opname is gemaakt enkele dagen geleden bij de Popocatépetl vulkaan. Hier zie je een object van rechtsboven naar beneden afdalen en vervolgens over de krater van de vulkaan zijn weg vervolgen naar een onbekende bestemming. 

 

Vreemde taferelen boven de Mexicaanse vulkanen, maar helemaal niemand die zich hier ook maar iets van aan trekt, want UFO’s bestaan niet.

Date of sighting: Nov 15, 2016
Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
 
These UFOs are three different craft. I have altered the colors and enhanced the detail. Within each light is a dark object about 75% as big as the light itself. These objects are flying over a USAF base in that area so nonone can travel over there a take a look. Its all fenced in high security area. It looks like the USAF is testing some of the alien craft that was given to the USAF in good faith. One of these craft crashed in Needles California back in May 14, 2008. Looks like they still have not got control of it.

Eyewitness states: 
I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of November 15, 2016. I wanted to get the video I shot last night out the same night. To do that I had to increase the speed up on the night vision portion by five times because it takes so long to render, upload and process the video. Jaime Maussan told me they are always best at actual speed so I am remaking that portion of last nights video. I am not enhancing it in any way so this is exactly as it was as it came from the night vision camera.

This disk was over Idaho back in 2013, but reported today. The disk was over a sand dunes area of Idaho. This is not an area with water, just dry sand dunes out in the middle of nowhere. The bronze colored disk has a blur around it, often caused by the propulsion of the alien craft.

Eyewitness states:

As stated in the short description, I never saw this at the time. I was just taking some landscape photos of a location I was going to shoot a model. I was shooting with a lense of apx 14-54mm, camera settings at F8, ISO 200, and a shutter speed of 1/640th sec. I never noticed it till I downloaded the image to my laptop the following day. This was on Memorial Day weekend in 2013. I called the Public Affairs office at Mountain Home AFB and they assured me that they were not flying at this time as it was a Friday evening of the holiday weekend. I did email this to them, and the PA officer said he would have his photographer look at it, although I would never hear back from them regardless of what they thought. DUH! :) At the time I was shooting the pictures, I heard nothing and saw nothing to make me realize something was in my field of view. I just thought it was interesting that something like that is still pixelated when zooming in on the object, yet the clouds and horizon are much sharper. Makes me believe this thing was flying at a pretty fast pace when a shutter speed of 1/640th of a sec couldn't freeze it. I have photos of the Thunderbird Air Show where I could freeze the action as they flew in front of me much closer than this object was.

Inexplicable Bright Lights Rock A Canadian City

Inexplicable Bright Lights Rock A Canadian City

canada-ufo

Bright lights in the sky have sparked fears of space alien arrival in a city. An online video shows four lights flying in formation before one suddenly vanishes from view.

The terrified man who captured the video claimed that the UFOs followed him for 12 miles down the highway in Brandon, Canada.

The city has recorded 30 sightings in 2015.

In the background of the video, which was uploaded on Saturday, the man can be heard saying he was shaking. He added that the UFOs followed him along the highway and he could not believe he was holding the camera steady.

There have been some unbelievable claims of UFO sightings recently, including alien bases on the Moon.

There were also claims involving crashed spaceship on Mars and a UFO passing the Supermoon.

Manitoba Museum UFO expert Scott Young said the city had experienced an increase in the number of UFO sightings.

Scott said that seeing UFOs in the flesh could give a weird sensation. He added that it is no surprise people seeing these unexplained lights find them bizarre and take videos.

Local astronomer Chris Rutkowski said there might be alien spaceships as people have seen V-shaped formations of orange lights. He revealed that 50% of the sightings reported recently were puzzling and worth further study.

UFO Hunters Claim To Have Spotted A Crashed UFO On Mars

UFO Hunters Claim To Have Spotted A Crashed UFO On Mars

mars-ufo

UFO hunters have spotted another Martian surface anomaly that adds to the series of bizarre claims about the Red Planet.

YouTube channel UFOvni2012 has put photographs released by NASA on a video to point out a dark shape on Mars.

While the shape looks remarkably like a rock, the YouTube channel speculated that it could be a crashed spacecraft from an alien civilization.

In the video description, the so-called anomaly is the Medusa Fossae formation, a large geological unit on the planet of uncertain origin.

European Space Agency described the formation as an extensive unit of mysterious origin, which is found close to the boundary between the Tharsis and Elysium centers of volcanic activity.

The YouTube video highlights parts of the UFO through drawing two lines. It shows the detailed shape of the UFO as if it was a spaceship.

According to the uploader, they discovered a crash site with the UFO, which measures around 190 meters wide.  The apparent object allegedly hit on Mars that impacted the surface at a low angle, and it ended half buried on the Red Planet’s soil.

Some UFO hunters suggested that the UFO tried to land as gently as it could because of the long and turned landing tracks left behind.

Some UFO enthusiasts speculated that the discovery is a base that opens the door. Others said that it could be a meteor that crashed.

There are also commenters who think that it is more likely to be a natural geological formation.

Stephen Hawking waarschuwt: “We bevinden ons in gevaarlijkste moment in geschiedenis van de mensheid”

De beroemde wetenschapper en astrofysicus Stephen Hawking waarschuwt voor de vernietiging van onze planeet in een open brief aan de Britse krant The Guardian.

Volgens de Brit bevinden we ons in het gevaarlijkste moment in de geschiedenis van de mensheid. Hij verwijst daarbij onder andere naar de verkiezing van Donald Trump. “Wat we ook denken van de Brexit en van de verkiezingen van Donald Trump, er is geen twijfel mogelijk dat dit een roep van woede was van mensen die het gevoel hebben dat ze in de steek werden gelaten door hun leiders. Het is het moment waarop de vergetenen hebben gesproken. Ze vonden hun stem om het advies en de richtlijnen van de experts en de elite te verwerpen”, zegt Hawking, die afgelopen weekend onverwacht moest worden opgenomen in een ziekenhuis in Rome, al is de 74-jarige wetenschapper, die aan ALS lijdt, niet in levensgevaar.

“En belangrijker nog dan die specifieke keuzes in Groot-Brittannië en in Amerika, is hoe de elite hierop zal reageren. Moeten we die stemmen de rug toekeren en het beschouwen als uitlopers van populisme die de feiten niet kennen? Dat doen zou een grote fout zijn.”

Grotere ongelijkheid

Hawking begrijpt de angsten van het volk voor de gevolgen van globalisering en technologische vooruitgang. Die evoluties zullen namelijk ook gevolgen hebben voor de jobs van de gewone mens. En dat zal dan weer de ongelijkheid in de wereld doen toenemen. Het internet speelt daar ook een rol in: het laat toe dat een kleine groep mensen enorme fortuinen verdient terwijl ze maar weinig mensen aan het werk zetten. “Dat is sociaal destructief”, zegt Hawking.

“We leven dus in een wereld waarin niet alleen financiële ongelijkheid is die alleen maar groter wordt, maar waarin de levensstandaard en de mogelijkheid om geld te verdienen steeds sneller en vaker verdwijnt. In die context is het geen verrassing dat mensen hun toevlucht zoeken in mensen als Trump of in iets als de Brexit.”

Die evolutie wordt versneld door internet en sociale media, meent Hawking. De ongelijkheid wordt zo namelijk steeds meer zichtbaar. Mensen zien via sociale media hoe het er elders aan toegaat. Dat kan een stroom van miljoenen migranten op de been brengen die op zoek gaan en zijn naar een beter leven. “De economie en de infrastructuur in de landen waar de migranten dan terechtkomen, komt verder onder druk te staan. En dat ondermijnt de tolerantie en is een voedingsbodem voor politiek populisme.”

En dat terwijl we net in tijden leven waarin we meer dan ooit moeten samenwerken, zo vindt Hawking. “We staan voor immense uitdagingen, met de klimaatverandering, overbevolking, het verdwijnen van meerdere soorten, ziektes, de verzuring van onze oceanen of problemen met voedselproductie,...We leven in het gevaarlijkste moment in de ontwikkeling van de mensheid. We hebben momenteel de technologieën om de planeet waarop we leven te vernietigen. Maar we hebben nog geen technologieën ontwikkeld waarmee we van onze aarde kunnen ontsnappen. Misschien hebben we dat wel binnen 100 jaar. Maar momenteel hebben we maar één planeet, en we moeten samenwerken om die te beschermen.” Hawking geeft daarbij ook een sneer aan Donald Trump, die een muur wil optrekken tussen Mexico en Amerika. “We moeten dat doen door muren neer te halen, in plaats van door muren te bouwen. “We moeten geen extra grenzen optrekken tussen landen.”

Stephen Hawking waarschuwt: “We bevinden ons in gevaarlijkste moment in geschiedenis van de mensheid”

“Politieke elite moet erkennen dat ze gefaald heeft”

Hawking richt zich tenslotte nog eens naar de politieke elite. Die moeten erkennen dat ze gefaald hebben, en dat ze veel burgers in de steek hebben gelaten. “We gaan veel meer dan dat we nu doen moeten leren om te delen”, zegt hij nog. “Als landen de migratiestroom niet aankunnen, dan moeten we meer doen om de globale ontwikkeling te bevorderen. Want dat is de enige manier om miljoenen migranten ervan te overtuigen dat hun toekomst ook wel eens in hun thuisland zou kunnen liggen.”

Hawking is ervan overtuigd dat we dat ook kunnen doen. “Ik ben een enorme optimist voor onze soort. Maar de elites, van Londen tot Harvard, van Cambridge tot Hollywood, zullen lessen moeten trekken en moeten leren uit het afgelopen jaar.”

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. As such, it circles the sun faster than all the other planets, which is why Romans named it after their swift-footed messenger god.

The Sumerians also knew of Mercury since at least 5,000 years ago. It was often associated with Nabu, the god of writing. Mercury was also given separate names for its appearance as both a morning star and as an evening star. Greek astronomers knew, however, that the two names referred to the same body. Heraclitus believed that both Mercury and Venus orbited the sun, not Earth. [Latest Photos: Mercury Seen by NASA's Messenger Probe]

Because the planet is so close to the sun, Mercury's surface temperature can reach a scorching 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 degrees Celsius). However, since this world doesn't have a real atmosphere to entrap any heat, at night temperatures can plummet to minus 275 F (minus 170 C), a temperature swing of more than 1,100 degrees F (600 degree C), the greatest in the solar system.

Mercury is the smallest planet — it is only slightly larger than Earth's moon. Since it has no significant atmosphere to stop impacts, the planet is pockmarked with craters. About 4 billion years ago, an asteroid roughly 60 miles (100 kilometers) wide struck Mercury with an impact equal to 1 trillion 1-megaton bombs, creating a vast impact crater roughly 960 miles (1,550 km) wide. Known as the Caloris Basin, this crater could hold the entire state of Texas. Another large impact may have helped create the planet's odd spin. 

As close to the sun as Mercury is, in 2012, NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft discovered water ice in the craters around its north pole, where regions may be permanently shaded from the heat of the sun. The southern pole may also contain icy pockets, but MESSENGER's orbit did not allowed scientists to probe the area. Comets or meteorites may have delivered ice there, or water vapor may have outgassed from the planet's interior and frozen out at the poles.

As if Mercury isn't small enough, it not only shrank in its past but is continuing to shrink today. The tiny planet is made up of a single continental plate over a cooling iron core. As the core cools, it solidifies, reducing the planet's volume and causing it to shrink. The process crumpled the surface, creating lobe-shaped scarps or cliffs, some hundreds of miles long and soaring up to a mile high. In the past, the surface was constantly reshaped by volcanic activity, some fairly recently in the planet's past. 

"The young age of the small scarps means that Mercury joins Earth as a tectonically active planet with new faults likely forming today as Mercury's interior continues to cool and the planet contracts," Tom Watters, Smithsonian senior scientist at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., said in a statement.

Mercury is the second densest planet after Earth, with a huge metallic coreroughly 2,200 to 2,400 miles (3,600 to 3,800 km) wide, or about 75 percent of the planet's diameter. In comparison, Mercury's outer shell is only 300 to 400 miles (500 to 600 km) thick. The combination of its massive core and abundance of volatile elements has left scientists puzzled for years.

A completely unexpected discovery Mariner 10 made was that Mercury possessed a magnetic field. Planets theoretically generate magnetic fields only if they spin quickly and possess a molten core. But Mercury takes 59 days to rotate and is so small — just roughly one-third Earth's size — that its core should have cooled off long ago. 

"We had figured out how the Earth works, and Mercury is another terrestrial, rocky planet with an iron core, so we thought it would work the same way," Christopher Russell, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement.

An unusual interior could help to explain the differences in Mercury's magnetic field when compared to Earth. Observations from MESSENGER revealed that the planet's magnetic field is approximately three times stronger at its northern hemisphere than at its southern. Russell co-authored a model that suggests that Mercury's iron core may be turning from liquid to solid at the core's outer boundary rather than the inner.

"It's like a snow storm in which the snow formed at the top of the cloud and middle of the cloud and the bottom of the cloud too," said Russell. "Our study of Mercury's magnetic field indicates iron is snowing throughout this fluid that is powering Mercury's magnetic field."

The discovery in 2007 by Earth-based radar observations that Mercury's core may still be molten could help explain its magnetism, though the solar wind may play a role in dampening the planet's magnetic field.

Although Mercury's magnetic field is just 1 percent the strength of Earth's, it is very active. The magnetic field in the solar wind — the charged particles streaming off the sun — periodically touches upon Mercury's field, creating powerful magnetic tornadoes that channel the fast, hot plasma of the solar wind down to the planet's surface. 

Instead of a substantial atmosphere, Mercury possesses an ultra-thin "exosphere" made up of atoms blasted off its surface by solar radiation, the solar wind and micrometeoroid impacts. These quickly escape into space, forming a tail of particles.

Mercury speeds around the sun every 88 Earth days, traveling through space at nearly 112,000 mph (180,000 km/h), faster than any other planet. Its oval-shaped orbit is highly elliptical, taking Mercury as close as 29 million miles (47 million km) and as far as 43 million miles (70 million km) from the sun. If one could stand on Mercury when it is nearest to the sun, it would appear more than three times as large as it does when viewed from Earth.

Oddly, due to Mercury's highly elliptical orbit and the 59 Earth-days or so it takes to rotate on its axis, when on the scorching surface of the planet, the sun appears to rise briefly, set, and rise again before it travels westward across the sky. At sunset, the sun appears to set, rise again briefly, and then set again.

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and has a thin atmosphere, no air pressure and an extremely high temperature. Take a look inside the planet.

Atmospheric composition (by volume):

No atmosphere: Mercury possesses an exosphere containing 42 percent oxygen, 29 percent sodium, 22 percent hydrogen, 6 percent helium, 0.5 percent potassium, with possible trace amounts of argon, carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, xenon, krypton and neon.

Magnetic field: Roughly 1 percent the strength of Earth's.

Internal structure: Iron core roughly 2,200 to 2,400 miles (3,600 to 3,800 km) wide. Outer silicate shell about 300 to 400 miles (500 to 600 km) thick. [Inside Planet Mercury (Infographic)]

Orbit & rotation

Average distance from the sun: 35,983,095 miles (57,909,175 km). By comparison: 0.38 Earth's distance from the sun.

Perihelion (closest approach to sun): 28,580,000 miles (46,000,000 km). By comparison: 0.313 times that of Earth

Aphelion (farthest distance from sun): 43,380,000 miles (69,820,000 km). By comparison: 0.459 times that of Earth

Length of Day: 58.646 Earth-days

The first spacecraft to visit Mercury was Mariner 10, which imaged about 45 percent of the surface and detected its magnetic field. NASA's MESSENGERorbiter is the second spacecraft to visit Mercury. When it arrived in March 2011, MESSENGER became the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury, where it continues to study the planet. [First Photos of Mercury from Orbit]

In 2012, scientists discovered a group of meteorites in Morocco that they think could have originated from the planet Mercury. If so, it would make the rocky planet a member of a very select club with samples available on Earth; only the moon, Mars and the asteroid belt have verified rocks.

Defensive weapons that can intercept and destroy enemy missiles before they can harm the United States or its allies have been a key part of military strategy for decades, but the rules of the game are changing.

More countries have or are developing long-range missile technology, including systems that can carry multiple warheads, known as Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs) and/or decoys.

"Both China and Russia possess the MIRV capability for their ballistic missiles. In 2014, reports confirmed that Iran too had developed Multiple Re-entry Vehicles (MRVs) for their ballistic missiles. Cold War literature suggests that MIRVs are first strike weapons and could be strategically destabilizing," independent consultant Debalina Ghoshal wrote in a June 2016 report for the Federation of American Scientists.

"The United States realizes these threats and is working towards a robust missile defense system," she said.

Last year, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency awarded contracts to Raytheon, Lockheed-Martin and Boeing to begin designing what is known as a "Multi-Object Kill Vehicle" or MOKV, which could destroy several objects in space with a single launch.

"Ten years ago, we had a single kill vehicle on a single interceptor. Kill vehicles today are the size of a toaster … This MOKV program is the latest iteration," John Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org, told Seeker.

Raytheon's plan, which is scheduled for a concept review in December, is to load multiple MOKVs onto a single missile for launch. Each MOKV would be outfitted with sensors, a steering and propulsion system and communications equipment that will allow them to zero in on an individual target and hit it, destroying the object by sheer kinetic forces.

The impacts would take place beyond Earth's atmosphere, but on a trajectory that would send the resulting cloud of debris back into the atmosphere, where it burn up, Pike said.

A major technological challenge is figuring out how to differentiate between bombs and decoys, such as balloons that look like they might have a hydrogen bomb aboard.

The military hopes to begin proof-of-concept demonstrations late next year and a non-intercept flight test in 2018. If successful, the Missile Defense Agency would conduct an intercept test in 2019.
