ARE WE ALONE? SOME

ARE WE ALONE? SOME

The latest research into the possibility of contacting advanced alien civilizations has concluded that finding traces of other civilizations may be much more difficult than first thought. 
 
A paper headed by Professor Michael Garrett of the University of Leiden has found that attempting to detect waste energy through the use of mid-infrared (MIR) emission in galaxies with higher than usual emissions, is much more difficult than initially thought. 
 
Dr. Jason Wright of Penn University put together a list of some 100,000 candidate galaxies that had higher than usual waste energy emissions, which Garrett and his team then studied. Unfortunately, all those studied by Garrett and his team were found to have high energy waste emissions through natural phenomena. 
 
Garret elaborated: 
 
"the original research at Penn State has already told us that such systems are very rare, but the new analysis suggests that this is probably an understatement and that advanced Kardashev Type III civilizations basically don't exist in the local Universe. In my view, it means we can all sleep safely in our beds tonight - an alien invasion doesn't seem at all likely!".
 
 The study took place based on the Kardashev scale, which measures the level of technology a civilization has achieved based on the amount of energy it can generate. Currently, humans are a type 0 civilization.
 
 
  • Type I civilization are those capable or harnessing and storing the power of their parent star on their own planet. Something that humans are conceivably not too far away from achieving. 
 
  • Type II civilizations can harness the entire energy of their parent star, usually in models through the use of Dyson spheres, and type III are capable of controlling energy in their entire host galaxy. 
 
  • It is the theoretical type III civilizations that most alien researchers are looking for as it is assumed that their sheer size and energy output would make them the easiest to find. This is done through measuring galaxies for signs of excess heat waste, which it is assumed that all civilizations would produce. 
 
One potential issue with the process currently used however is that sufficiently advanced civilizations may not produce heat waste at all, or at least not enough for other species to detect. If this is the case then advanced civilizations would need to be detected through other as yet unknown means. There are also limitations with the model itself, several revisions and alternative models have been proposed several times since the development of Kardashev's scale in 1964.

Verloren beschaving van aliens op aarde. Volgens deze professor kunnen we hier bewijzen vinden

Verloren beschaving van aliens op aarde. Volgens deze professor kunnen we hier bewijzen vinden

Verloren beschaving van aliens op aarde. Volgens deze professor kunnen we hier bewijzen vinden

Leefden er ooit aliens in ons zonnestelsel? Een Amerikaanse ruimtewetenschapper denkt het antwoord op die vraag te hebben gevonden.

Professor Jason Wright claimt dat hoogontwikkelde aliens mogelijk ooit op één van de planeten in ons zonnestelsel hebben geleefd, voordat ze spoorloos verdwenen.

Wright, die lesgeeft aan de Pennsylvania State University, suggereert in een nieuwe paper dat aliens mogelijk op Mars, Venus of aarde hebben geleefd.

Spoedig

Hij claimt dat er een kans is dat we spoedig sporen gaan vinden die door de aliens zijn achtergelaten.

Het meeste bewijs voor deze aliens zou waarschijnlijk al verloren zijn gegaan. In het geval van Venus heeft het broeikaseffect mogelijk alle sporen van een eventuele beschaving uitgewist.

En op aarde is mogelijk het meeste bewijs verloren gegaan door erosie en platentektoniek.

Onder het oppervlak

Professor Wright denkt dat sporen van oude beschavingen hoogstwaarschijnlijk onder het oppervlak kunnen worden gevonden.

Hij denkt daarbij vooral aan het oppervlak van Mars en de maan of plekken in het buitenste deel van het zonnestelsel.

Wright meent dat met behulp van ruimte-archeologie, een relatief nieuw onderzoeksveld, kan worden gespeurd naar resten van oude beschavingen.

Verborgen structuren

Het gaat daarbij om het zoeken naar, vinden en interpreteren van menselijke artefacten in de ruimte, aldus de wetenschapper.

Wellicht kunnen satellietbeelden en bodemradar helpen om sporen van verborgen structuren of andere voorwerpen te vinden, besloot Wright.

Californians reported the most UFO sightings in recent years

Californians reported the most UFO sightings in recent years

This vintage-style photo is an artist’s conception of a UFO sighting, not the real thing.

 GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

For Californians, the truth is out there. “UFO Sightings Desk Reference,” a new book on reported UFO sightings, found that California had the most reports of visual encounters with unidentified objects in the United States. This includes hundreds of reported sightings, CBS San Francisco reports.

The book analyzed more than 120,000 reports of UFOs and found more Californians believed they’d come in contact with extraterrestrial life than anyone else in the country.

“We found that UFOs were sighted in every county in the United States. Every county had at least one sighting sometime in the past 15 years,” the book’s co-author, Cheryl Costa, explained.

Using data from the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, and the National UFO Reporting Center, she said Californians reported seeing nearly 16,000 UFOs between 2001 and 2015.

“We think a great deal of it has to do with California’s weather,” Costa said.

Costa explained that California’s mild weather allows people to be outdoors during much of the year and thus in position to spot possible UFOs.

According to Costa, Santa Clara County topped the list in Northern California with 569 reported sightings. Alameda County was second with 518, while San Francisco trailed with 327.

It should be noted that these reports are anecdotal and haven’t been investigated, let alone proven. 

But for those who believe we’re not alone in the universe, the book may seem validating.

“Most people were very sincere about what they reported, about what they think they saw, Costa added. “They weren’t jerking us around. But we understand the only proof some people are going to accept is a space ship cracked up in the mall parking lot.”

Here is a great example of a glowing orb that is often mistaken for a star. Movement is always eliminates any doubt, as you see in this video.The UFO is moving around a tall poll in a field. Spain has lots of ancient cultural things to see and to study for any alien. This glowing light is also similar to the UFOs seen over Denver, Colorado mountains and over the holy place of Dome of Rock.

Date of sighting: April 2017
Location of sighting: Exmouth, UK

Here is a great catch above a parking lot in Exmouth this week. The UFO looks like a triangle spinning, but its hard to see so make the video full screen please, and place in HD mode. UFOs are frequently seen over England as well as the fact that many US documents report testing top secret craft (Aurora Project) over the UK back in the 1980-1990s. Its hard to tell which one this is, a USAF craft or UFO, but one thing is for sure, they don't want the public to know about it. This is not one individual UFO, but actually three separate UFOs that work together, like a fighter jet with his wingman. 

Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states:

I was waiting for the bus while taking to a friend when i noticed 3 lights in a triangle pattern over the mouth of the river exe. Took some video and pictures with my phone before the bus came and I left. On april 17th at 9.41pm I was waiting for my bus to come in after my break, (I’m a bus driver) and was taking to my bestman about my upcoming wedding on the phone. I would normally be in our rest room but since the clock in the restroom was fast (about 7mins fast) I had gone out early to wait while still chatting to my friend. While i was talking i was just kind of walking about near the leisure center, where my bus stops, when I looked randomly over in the direction of the river which is when i saw the three lights in a triangle pattern rotating on its axis and wobbling slightly.

Douglas, Isle of Man UFO sighting

Douglas, Isle of Man UFO sighting

Douglas Isle of Man UFO

This was filmed in the sky above Douglas, Isle of Man in United Kingdom on 9th April 2017. For more info read the witness report below!

Witness report:

 Hi there my name is Nicola and I would like to file a report of a UFO sighting. April 9th st 9:20 in the evening Douglas Isle of Man U.K. I had just got my young son to sleep and took my glasses off to wash my face, I walked into the living room and said good night to my husband that’s when I noticed a strange bright light through the blinds and kind of mumbled that I could see some thing bright out there and my husband said ‘what?’ But I wasn’t wearing my glasses so thought nothing of it, said never mind and good night to my husband then grabbed my glasses and wet to my bedroom, I thought I’d just have a look to see what it was that I noticed before and if it was silk there and it was, so I took a couple of photos and then started recording. I stopped recording after about three minutes to take a look at what I had filmed to zoom in on it to see what it could be.

The orb was still in the sky then after a little while it pulsated then drifted to the leg and disappeared although I didn’t get this on camera really wish I did was very unusual! After watching the video several times I noticed oddities within the video, flashing lights to the left of the orb throughout video! Hope this is of interest to you still trying to look for an answer have posted this on several pages

UFO sighting caught on tape over Carshalton (London), UK 26-Apr-2017

uk-ufo

Strange light was filmed making maneuvers over London on 26th April 2017. What do you think this is?

Witness report:

 Unidentified light in the sky over two areas in Sutton and Carshalton Surrey. This unexplained event happened over both my son and daughters rooftops. They live within a mile of each other and both saw the object and filmed it. The object travelled fast changing directions and hovered. It got brighter when it hovered. If you rule out laser or any other form light beam and any obvious aircraft that can manoeuvre like this, what are you left with? And the object was above the clouds.

Black Smoke Ring In The Sky Left Russians Puzzled

Black Smoke Ring In The Sky Left Russians Puzzled

black-ring

The alien invasion has come to the minds of terrified residents after seeing a mysterious black circle hovering in the sky.

A video of the unusual sighting made the rounds online as it shows a black circle hanging calmly in the sky.

The shocked people on the ground call out to each other in disbelief as the bizarre smoky ring continues to float before finally vanishing into grey clouds.

The footage was recorded in Novosibirsk in Russia over the Siberian Mall shopping centre. It went viral after it was made available in social media.

Some think that the event is a kind of creepy warning. Others believe that it is a kind of supernatural power flying across the Russian city. There are also people who think that aliens are coming to get humans.

However, one witness suggests that that the mysterious circle or smoke ring is nothing but a soliton. They explain that black hydrocarbon with the vortex comprising a ring and lifting it into the air.

Weather experts didn’t have an explanation yet but lashed out alien-related claims as well as the soliton theory.

Renad Yagudin of the Siberian Hydrometeorological Centre said that there’s no such definition of soliton in meteorology, so it is not a meteorological event.

Cylinder UFO Flying Low Reported Over California

Cylinder UFO Flying Low Reported Over California

cigar-shaped-ufo

A fast moving, cylinder object was noticed crossing the horizon in approximately eight seconds in Lincoln, California. An unnamed witness reported their sighting to MUFON, which filed it in Case 82671 in its witness reporting database.

According to the report, the witness observed the mysterious object flying from the northeast to the northwest at a very high speed while sitting at a northbound stop light at 2:45 in the afternoon on March 16, 2017.

The witness estimated the size to be the same as the bus flying between 1,000 and 1,200 feet up. They said that the object managed to cross 60 percent of the horizon in just around eight seconds. The witness revealed that his wife also saw the bizarre aerial thing. They thought of a drone but changed their mind when they did not see any propulsion.

The reporting witness claimed that they are familiar with aircraft as a resident on several Air Force bases.

Shelley Goodman, a MUFON-California field investigator, closed the case as Unknown. Goodman said that she had a chat with both witnesses, who told her that they both saw the unusual object from the intersection at 110 Lincoln Blvd in California. The reporting witness revealed to her that he was in the Air Force and that he knows all about aircraft, including its speed. The witness said that the UFO flew through the sky three times faster than any plane. The object was underneath the cloud cover when they saw it clearly.

Amazing footage of Orbs flying over Summerlin, Nevada 19-Apr-2017

Amazing footage of Orbs flying over Summerlin, Nevada 19-Apr-2017

orbs

Here’s one new footage of an unknown objects or orbs flying in the sky above Nevada on 19th April 2017.

Witness report: 

I shot this video from my backyard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas, Nevada on the night of April 19, 2017.
It’s nice to see that these amazing UFOs (Orbs) are here again. Needless to say, I was pretty happy when I spotted them. Because of their location either on or next to the Nellis Test Range north of Las Vegas they cannot possibly be commercial or civilian operated crafts. As always I keep trying to see them visually with the naked eye and using my binoculars only to come up empty each and every time. There is never any sound either but that could be because they might be far enough away that I couldn’t hear them. I filmed them for nearly thirty minutes as the kept going back and forth turning or stopping on a dime. At the end of the video, the four objects that disappear one by one behind the mountain were headed in the direction of Area 51.

Sinister 'black UFO' filmed tailing plane as young girl points out view

Sinister 'black UFO' filmed tailing plane as young girl points out view

A FAMILY believed they filmed a UFO darting alongside the plane they were on as they flew off on holiday.

The nine-year-old girl was showing off the view out a window as her dad filmed when the mystery dark object was captured on camera.

David Woodward filmed daughter Georgia on the flight from Manchester to Lanzarote this month.

The video, which has been uploaded to YouTube, shows Georgia talking next to the view when the odd black object appears to zooms past the visible wing.

Mr Woodward told the Manchester Evening News: "We had set off from Manchester and were only in the air for around 10 minutes when we started filming Georgia for her YouTube channel.

An object darting about by the plane was potted in the recorded video.

"She was saying how lovely the sky was and then I saw the black object.

“It was strange because it kept changing direction and then bobbing and weaving around

“I thought it might have been an anomaly on the screen or a bird. But after looking into it, a bird wouldn’t be that high up."

Although Mr Woodward thinks the truth might be out there, Georgia is more skeptical.

He added: "Georgia was a bit skeptical and she laughs at me for saying it might be a UFO, but you never know."

He hopes someone can help identify the object, and is interested in theories.

But, one forensic UFO investigator believes the footage could put a "stain" on real research.

Scott Brando runs the hoax-busting website ufoofinterest.org.

He said he believes the footage shows an optical illusion, after he was sent it by

He said it was just a smudge on the window that was out of focus.

Because of the camera shaking, it appeared to have the erratic movement.

At one point in the video, the object, which appeared to be beyond the wing, was suddenly in front of it, adding to his theory.

He tweeted: "The object isn't a UFO over Manchester but a stain on the window. Its movements are specular with camera shake."

It’s Official. In 2025, NASA and the ESA Will Land on Europa to Look For Alien Life

 
Europa
So where do we land?

NASA/JPL/Ted Stryk

IN BRIEF
NASA and the ESA are planning to launch a joint mission to Jupiter's moon Europa. This icy satellite hosts a subterranean ocean larger than those on Earth, and it could host extraterrestrial life.

EXPLORING TOGETHER

Recent discoveries in space have made the search for life beyond Earth easier and more difficult at the same time. As more exoplanets and moons with the potential to support extraterrestrial life turn up, the probability of finding one that actually does increases. However, sending missions to explore all these potentially inhabited worlds has also become more difficult.

Juno: Mission to Jupiter [INFOGRAPHIC] Click to View Full Infographic

NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have come up with a rather practical solution: The two space agencies will pool their resources for one of these exploration missions. The target is Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, and it is considered one of the best candidates for alien life.

The proposal, dubbed the Joint Europa Mission (JEM), was unveiled Sunday in Vienna, Austria, at the annual meeting of the European Geosciences Union. “The whole idea is that if we think exploring Europa for life is important, it should be an international adventure,” Michel Blanc from the Research Institute in Astrophysics and Planetology in Toulouse, France, told New Scientist. “The ultimate goal is to get to the surface and look for biosignatures of life.”

LIFE LURKING BENEATH

The prospect of life on Europa increased when the moon was discovered to have a vast ocean hidden beneath its icy crust. This discovery was reinforced by the observation of water plumes escaping to the surface. Researchers estimate that Europa boasts twice as much water as our planet, so there’s plenty to explore, and the ocean even seems to be more similar to Earth’s than previously thought.

The plan is for JEM to launch by the mid-2020s, and it would run for about six-and-a-half years. The first five of those would be used simply to reach Jupiter, then a few more days would be needed to reach Europa.

Upon reaching Europa’s orbit, a lander would be launched to explore the surface for 35 days, scanning material samples for traces of life. Meanwhile, the orbiter craft would spend three months taking various measurements to reveal Europa’s basic structure, focusing on the ocean’s composition. After that, the lander could crash into Europa while taking and transmitting data about the moon’s atmosphere.

While both NASA and the ESA have existing plans to explore Europa and the other icy-watery moons in the solar system, the planned combined effort would offer a unique advantage for both space agencies. Pooling their resources might make it easier to figure out solutions to key problems, such as Jupiter’s intense radiation and the need to make sure Europa won’t be contaminated by organisms from Earth.

“There’s great enthusiasm for this on both sides,” Jakob van Zyl, director for solar system exploration at NASA JPL, told New Scientist. “The budget request is now with the president.”

Europa is just the first goal for collaborative space exploration. Potential missions to Jupiter’s other moons, as well as those of Saturn, could well be developed in the future. Perhaps alien life is just an Earth-formed partnership away.

Breakthrough Listen reveals its first results: Alien hunting telescopes have found 11 strange signals - but NONE are believed to be extraterrestrial life

Breakthrough Listen reveals its first results: Alien hunting telescopes have found 11 strange signals - but NONE are believed to be extraterrestrial life

  • Breakthrough Listen analyzed three five-minute observations of 692 stars
  • The researchers have revealed 11 events considered to be most significant
  • But, further investigation found an intelligence extraterrestrial source is unlikely

Scientists ‘listening’ to extraterrestrial signals in the universe for evidence of alien life have released their initial results from the first year of observations.

After combing through petabytes of data, the Breakthrough Listen team has ranked 11 events considered to be most significant – but so far, they’ve found no convincing signs of intelligent life.

The team has also submitted a paper analyzing nearly 700 stars across all spectral types, which they say acts as a ‘launch pad’ for deeper investigations to come.

After combing through petabytes of data, the Breakthrough Listen team has ranked 11 events considered to be most significant – but so far, they’ve found no convincing signs of intelligent life. The massive Green Bank Radio Telescope is pictured

THE BREAKTHROUGH LISTEN MISSION

Breakthrough Listen is a search for intelligent life using two of the world's most powerful telescopes.

It was launched in January with the aim of scouring one million of the closest stars to Earth for faint signals thrown out into space by intelligent life beyond our own world.

Scientists taking part in the $100 million are also scanning the very centre of our galaxy along with 100 of the closest galaxies for low power radio transmissions.

Breakthrough Listen will collect data over a 10-year period. 

Search capacity will be 50 times more sensitive, cover 10 times more of the sky, 5 times more of the radio spectrum, and at speeds 100 times faster. 

The initiative, backed by Stephen Hawking and billionaire Yuri Milner, has been gathering data with the Green Bank Radio Telescope in West Virginia, Lick Observatory’s Automated Planet Finder on Mt Hamilton in California, and the Parkes Radio Telescope in Australia.

With an ‘analysis pipeline’ built by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley’s SETI Research Center (BSRC), the project scans billions of radio channels to search for signals that might be coming from an intelligent source outside of our solar system.

They’ve now made the initial data public, and will present the findings this Thursday during a Facebook Live presentation at the Breakthrough Discuss conference.

The scientists analyzed three five-minute observations of each of the 692 stars, alnong with five-minute observations of a set of secondary targets.

While there were millions of ‘hits’ for the entire sample – or, radio emissions seen in the target – the researchers say this is ‘almost certainly’ the result of interference from human technology.

And, while eleven events were distinguished as ‘significant,’ further investigation suggests they are not coming from artificial alien sources.

Still, the researchers say these preliminary results are an important step in the search for alien life.

‘With the submission of this paper, the first scientific results from Breakthrough Listen are now available for the world to review,’ said Dr Andrew Siemion of BSRC.

‘Although the search has not yet detected a convincing signal from extraterrestrial intelligence, these are early days.

‘The work that has been completed so far provides a launch pad for deeper and more comprehensive analysis to come.’ 

And, while eleven events were distinguished as ‘significant,’ further investigation suggests they are not coming from artificial alien sources. Data from one such event shown above

Breakthrough Listen will collect data over a 10-year period from a network of the world's most powerful radio and optical telescopes to yield vast, full-sky signal monitoring.

It will collect more data in one day than previously had been collected in one year.

Search capacity will be 50 times more sensitive, cover 10 times more of the sky, 5 times more of the radio spectrum, and at speeds 100 times faster.

Overall, the researchers have selected 1709 stars to study.

These are divided into two categories: those within 16 light years of the sun, and a group including branch stars no more than 163 light years away. 

Last year, Hawking, Milner and Mark Zuckerberg launched another initiative in the Breakthrough program – the Breakthrough Starshot project.

The $100m project will rely on tiny so-called 'nanocraft' flying on sails pushed by beams of light through the universe.

They will travel to the Alpha Centauri star system 25 trillion miles (4.37 light years) away on a twenty year mission to look for alien life.

Filer’s Files #17 – 2017 Devasting Comet Strike -  PART I

In special reports, this week’s files cover: President Carter and UFOs, UFO Flies in Formation with ISS, Gobekli Tepe recorded a devastating comet strike, Letter from Dr. Bruce Cornet, New found Alien Planet, and Indian Flying Shields.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York.

Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Australia, Canada, Columbia, Costa Rica, Italy, and England in the United Kingdom.

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

President Carter Saw UFO

“If I become President, I’ll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and scientists. I am convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one.”

PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER
Presidential campaign 1976

“It was the darndest thing I’ve ever seen. It was big, it was very bright, it changed colors, and it was about the size of the moon. A red and green glowing orb radiated as it hurtled across the southwestern Georgia skies. We watched it for ten minutes, but none of us could figure out what it was. One thing’s for sure: I’ll never make fun of people who say they’ve seen unidentified flying objects in the sky.” 

President Jimmy Carter
Interview following his sighting of a UFO at Leary, Georgia in October 1969

UFO Flies in Formation with ISS

I noticed a UFO in the distance that was coming closer and closer to the space station on April18, 2017. The UFO was partially cloaked, which made it look transparent. In the deep blackness of spaces, blending into the environment means you will be safer from other alien species that may not be so friendly. Bob Lazar said in Area S4 (inside Area 51) that he read documents that said that the USAF knew of 56 space faring species. Scott C. Waring

Gobekli Tepe recorded a Devastating Comet Strike

Sarah Knapton writes “Ancient stone carvings confirm that a comet struck the Earth around 11,000BC, a devastating event which wiped out woolly mammoths and sparked the rise of civilizations”. Experts at the University of Edinburgh analyzed mysterious symbols carved onto stone pillars at Gobekli Tepe in southern Turkey, to find out if they could be linked to constellations. The markings suggest that a swarm of comet fragments hit Earth at the exact same time that a mini-ice age struck, changing the entire course of human history. Scientists have speculated for decades that a comet could be behind the sudden fall in temperature during a period known as the Younger Dryas. But recently the theory appeared to have been debunked by new dating of meteor craters in North America where the comet is thought to have struck.

However, when engineers studied animal carvings made on a pillar – known as the vulture stone – at Gobekli Tepe they discovered that the creatures were actually astronomical symbols which represented constellations and the comet.

The idea had been originally put forward by author Graham Hancock in his book Magicians of the Gods.

Using a computer program to show where the constellations would have appeared above Turkey thousands of years ago, they were able to pinpoint the comet strike to 10,950BC, the exact time the Younger Dryas begins according to ice core data from Greenland.

The Younger Dryas is viewed as a crucial period for humanity, as it roughly coincides with the emergence of agriculture and the first Neolithic civilizations.

Before the strike, vast areas of wild wheat and barley had allowed nomadic hunters in the Middle East to establish permanent base camps. But the difficult climate conditions following the impact forced communities to come together and work out new ways of maintaining the crops, through watering and selective breeding. Thus farming began, allowing the rise of the first towns.

Edinburgh researchers said the carvings appear to have remained important to the people of Gobekli Tepe for millennia, suggesting that the event and cold climate that followed likely had a very serious impact.

Dr Martin Sweatman, of the University of Edinburgh’s School of Engineering, who led the research, said: “I think this research; along with the recent finding of a widespread platinum anomaly across the North American continent virtually seal the case in favor of (a Younger Dryas comet impact).

“Our work serves to reinforce that physical evidence. What is happening here is the process of paradigm change.

“It appears Göbekli Tepe was, among other things, an observatory for monitoring the night sky. One of its pillars seems to have served as a memorial to this devastating event – probably the worst day in history since the end of the ice age.” Gobekli Tepe, is thought to be the world’s oldest temple site, which dates from around 9,000 BC. Researchers believe the images were intended as a record of the cataclysmic event, and that a further carving showing a headless man may indicate human disaster and extensive loss of life.

Symbolism on the pillars also indicates that the long-term changes in Earth’s rotational axis was recorded at this time using an early form of writing, and that Gobekli Tepe was an observatory for meteors and comets. The finding also supports a theory that Earth is likely to experience periods when comet strikes are more likely, owing to the planet’s orbit intersecting orbiting rings of comet fragments in space.

But despite the ancient age of the pillars, Dr Sweatman does not believe it is the earliest example of astronomy in the archaeological record. “Many Paleolithic cave paintings and artifacts with similar animal symbols and other repeated symbols suggest astronomy could be very ancient indeed

The research is published in Mediterranean Archaeology and Archaeometry.

A new study has reported evidence of a comet or meteorite or low-density object barreling toward Earth, exploding in the upper atmosphere and triggering a devastating swath that wiped out most of the large animals, their habitat and humans of that period. “The detonation either fried them or compressed them because of the shock wave. It was a mini nuclear winter,” said Ted Bunch, NAU adjunct professor of geology and former NASA researcher who specializes in impact craters.
The presence of around 500,000 elliptical craters, ranging from a few hundred meters to 11 kilometers in size, across the entire eastern seaboard of the United States, from New Jersey down to Miami, is perhaps the greatest clue. A  comet which entered the earth’s atmosphere from the north-west over Alaska and disintegrated into millions of pieces that detonated above the ground, very much in the manner of the small comet which caused the Tunguska event in Siberia in June 1908. Is it just a coincidence that more than two million huge holes were gouged into the ground – all at the same time – about 12,000 years ago at a magnetic reversal?
Alexander Tollmann, “a professor in the institute of geology at the University of Vienna, compared the numerous myths of a great flood, recorded in almost every prehistoric civilization, with the geological evidence for a comet impact at about the same time.. Islands and caves are found filled with ancient bones showing a great catastrophe in our distant past. Thanks to the Telegraph

Letter from Dr. Bruce Cornet

 Bruce Cornet writes, “I had the most extraordinary experience on 20 January 1991 when I said my farewell to my late wife, Bonnie Cornet, who was buried in the Garden of Texas Liberty in northwestern Houston, Texas, on 18 January.  After reading Gary Colin’s post on FF#15 speaks of God’s servants, the sons of God connecting with humans on Earth from space in UFOs.”  He says that Clouds in the Bible refer to the presence of God, and those Clouds are called Shekinahs or Glory Clouds by the Hebrews.

Bonnie attended Collingswood High School, which was located behind her parents’ house in Collingswood, NJ.  For those television buffs, you may recall that Michael Landon graduated from that very same high school.  I find it ironic that Landon became the Star in the television series, Highway to Heaven, because it now seems that two people who graduated from that school embarked on a similar journey on that same highway.

Bonnie’s high school yearbook picture (1968).

My mother and I witnessed her Spirit over her grave as I spoke my farewell, and then a second Sun appeared in a huge overhead cumulus cloud.  It sent a golden beam of light down to Bonnie’s Spirit (emerald green, blue, and white starburst or rainbow), and we saw the beam of light capture her spirit without that beam touching the ground.  Shafts of golden light, like ice sickles, fell off the wide beam of golden light, and hit the ground.  When they did, they broke into many pieces, as ice sickles would, and bounced around on the ground like water droplets on a hot skillet.  We witnessed the emerald color of Bonnie’s Spirit ascent in that beam of light into the Cloud or Shekinah.  Then the beam retracted, and the light in the base of the Cloud went out.  Bonnie is our new Lady of the Garden of Texas Liberty, who gave birth to the male Child when she was a 17 year old Jewish virgin.  She was born Jewish, raised Protestant, and died Catholic.

I was videotaping most of that, and put clips from that video on my web book called: The Passion of Bonnie.  I copy relevant pages below.  I had been videotaping all of this while looking through the B&W viewfinder on my camcorder.  So I didn’t notice Bonnie’s emerald green and carnelian red Spirit in the circular eight-column Temple at the Triangular Garden until it moved to over her grave.  After saying my farewell, I was told telepathically to turn off my camcorder.  I wish I had been allowed to keep it running, because the most extraordinary event happened after I videotaped Bonnie’s Spirit morphing into the shape of an angel, and raising and lowering her wings.  My mother exclaimed, “Oh, how beautiful.  The Sun is breaking through the overhead cloud and sending a sunbeam down to Bonnie’s grave.”  But it was 8:31 am in the morning, and the real Sun had barely cleared the trees to the East (left of the images and behind the Temple).

This is the first time I consciously witnessed a divine presence, which connected our spiritual existence to UFOs.  It wasn’t until 1992, more than a year after her death, that I had my first UFO encounters and sightings.  It was then that I reexamined that video of my wife’s Spirit over her grave and inside a marble temple at the center of the Triangular Garden of Texas Liberty!  As I drove into the Garden area, I had my camcorder on my shoulder running, and captured images of a huge cumulus Cloud or Shekinah over her grave.  Behind and to the left of that Cloud is another UFO-shaped cumulus cloud (see animated gif below).  I examined the video frame by frame on my computer in 1997.  In three frames of a 30 frame per second video, the veil of the cloud pulled back enough to reveal the huge white double-rimmed circular dome-shaped mothership inside (called “Jerusalem” by Gary Colin).  In the chapter on The Unfolding of a Mystery below, I include images captured from that video of that UFO in the Cloud.  Never before has anyone captured a Shekinah on film.

So Gary Colin is correct in making the connection between our space visitors and divine angels of our ancestors.  The Bible is quite clear that not all of our visitors have human interests at heart, being called fallen angels, cast out of heaven by God.  But the visitors I have met come as servants of God, as Jesus did to teach and instruct us about love, forgiveness, and peace on Earth.

I am nearing completion of my new book, The Woman Who Bore the Male Child, Revelation Chapter 12.  It is about Bonnie, who was the Spirit of God incarnate, who gave birth the male Child on 1 August 1967 in Collingswood, NJ.  Her life is abstracted in Chapter 12, and I discovered after she died that I was the “earth” who saved Bonnie from being extradited (carried away) on false welfare charges.  That is part of the reason I was given so many UFO close encounters (130) and so much information in the 12 years that followed her death and ascension.  I met the male Child on 23 October 1994 when a live holographic projection of three astronauts floating in space appeared over my bed at night in Red Bank, NJ.  Interestingly, Red Bank can be translated “Blood” of 8 (Eternal) Life (Ankh).  There are two Red Banks in New Jersey.  The second one is on the banks of the Delaware River under Philadelphia!

Even though Scripture does not give details of the birth of the male Child, other than saying He was immediately taken up to heaven (space) and the throne of God, He was not alone in Bonnie’s womb.  He was accompanied by His identical twin Sister, named Anora.  His new name is Khyle, and when you put the first two letters of their names together, you get Ankh, which is the Egyptian Cross for Eternal Life.  They were born to a 17 year old Jewish virgin!  And that is why my book, The Woman Who Bore the Male Child, Revelation Chapter 12, is so important.  Khyle is now 49 years old, and 49 in numerology is the number for Lord (12+15+18+4 = 49).  Anora is to Khyle as Eve was to Adam in the last cycle.

Also attached is an image of what I saw over my bed on the morning of 23, October 1994:

Three astronauts: Khyle, Anora, and an alien.  Khyle at age 27 looks a lot like the recent computer-generated images of Jesus, based on the image of Him in the Shroud of Turin.  A program on the History Channel showed the work by Ray Downing on resurrecting the face of Jesus.

http://www.raydowning.com/jesus-gallery/

Ironically, Dr. Rev. Barry Downing (author of The Bible and Flying Saucers, 1968) has the same last name, and both live in New York State.  He is also a believer in a connection between Jesus and our divine visitors.

 THE UNFOLDING OF A MYSTERY http://sunstar-solutions.com/AOP/Bonnie/bonnie.htm

  Two months before Bonnie died on 12 January 1991, she taught me how to communicate with her telepathically. As a scientist I was aware of the controversy over telepathy in the scientific community, but like most people I had no convincing evidence that telepathy was possible between humans. She introduced me to telepathy in a very dramatic manner. On my way home from work I stopped to get dinner at McDonalds. I had worked late and was tired, and thought of taking some food home for Bonnie. I did not feel like cooking dinner when I got home, and Bonnie was mostly bedridden in the last several years of her life.

When I walked into our condominium she called out from the bedroom, “Hi honey. Did you get me my Big Mack with extra pickles and Coke with extra ice?” I was stunned. I walked to the bedroom and asked her how she knew that I had picked her up any food, let alone those items and she said, “Because I asked you for them.” From that moment on I began paying much more attention to the thoughts in my head when I wondered what she would want me to get her. I tested her again and again by having her guess what was in the bag, and she accurately described the contents every time, sometimes saying, “That is not what I asked for,” when I tried to trick her. Then I began giving her choices, and I was quickly able to recognize her telepathic responses. It was almost as if we were of one mind.

 She died at home on 12 January 1991. Soon after she died she surprised me by continuing to communicate with me telepathically. Her spirit moved objects in front of me (and a witness) as proof of her continued existence. Ironically, the movie Ghost came out in theatres soon after she died, and when I saw that movie it comforted me and told me I wasn’t crazy.  Bonnie continued to comfort me with her presence of mind during my grief.  She told me specifically where to bury her, led me to find things that she had hidden, had me reach out to old friends who I didn’t know, and arranged things for me so that I could complete her life on Earth. She came back to me in spirit on numerous occasions, and responded when I called out to her in prayer for help. On 7 March 1991, for example, she told me, “I’ve prepared a wonderful surprise for you that will change your whole life.” That surprise was revealed to me six months later when she set me up to meet my current wife, Pat, during an extraordinary paranormal event (shades of the movie, Always, which we watched together just before she died). She gradually introduced me to her spiritual identity and to mine by awakening me to numerous material and verbal clues she had given me while she was alive. She woke me out of a sound sleep on 17 January 1991 and telepathically told me to count the number of months we lived together at each location: I then realized that we had lived together exactly seven years to the day, and seven is a divine number. Every 28 months we were forced to move to a new location because of economic circumstances, and three times 28 gives 84 months, or seven years. And it was 12 January 1984 that she moved in with me. She was born at 1:38 am and she died at 1:38 am.

I was born on 8:31, the reverse sequence of those numbers.

She also left me proof of her precognitive ability, and that she knew of not only her time of death, but of her time of burial, where she would be buried, and where I would be at a particular time soon after her death.  On 17 January, the day before she was buried, I went to her bank in Houston to close out her checking account, and was surprised by the tellers who were waiting for me. Dody ran up to me asking if Bonnie was out in our truck.  I was shocked.  I asked her how she knew that I was going to be there, and she told me that Bonnie had called two weeks earlier to tell them great news: She said that I had gotten a job in Houston and was bringing her back to Texas for good. She said that we would be there to see them on the 17th!   We were all shocked by the implications. She was buried on the 18th, the day but not the month of her birth. The job turned out to be what I had to do when I returned to Houston with her body.

On 20 January 1991 I returned to Bonnie’s grave to say my farewell. I was leaving Texas that afternoon on a flight back to New York State. I took my mother with me and the camcorder Bonnie had given me for Christmas 1989. I wanted to videotape where she was buried for her family back north.

I held the camcorder on my shoulder as I drove through Memorial Oaks Cemetery to the Garden of Texas Liberty, a special section of the cemetery normally reserved for native Texans.  The two Xs mark the location of where my late wife is buried (crypt #12), with my future crypt to its left (#11).  Bonnie’s head is facing East.

The Garden of Texas Liberty in northwest Houston is shaped like a triangle with a circular eight-column marble temple at its center.  These represent sacred geometric shapes.  The triangular garden reminds me of the Flying Triangles that many people see.

As we entered the Garden, which was constructed in the form of a triangle with a circular marble temple at the center of the triangle,

I videotaped something extraordinary.

After parking I videotaped the area without realizing that her spirit was residing inside the marble temple at the center of the Garden.  Beautiful carnelian red and emerald green colors can be seen on the video flashing alternately inside and on the outside of the temple columns (a pretty good trick for the Sun, which was behind the columns).  I was unaware of her presence.

Then I walked to her grave, having the urge to say my farewell. As I walked something flashed by me, but I still did not get it. Who would imagine what was in store for me as Bonnie’s spirit tried to get my attention. Standing near her grave I pointed my camcorder at her grave and said aloud, “There is my love, love of my life, in her final resting place right up in front where she would want to be. I will remember you Always, Bonnie dear.  I set you free.  You set me free.”  Inside her wedding ring, which I wear around my neck on a chain, is inscribed: “BC & BC forever.”  The last movie we watched together before she died was the movie, “Always,” starring Richard Dreyfuss and Audrey Hepburn.

As I spoke the words, “I set you free,” a blue, green, and white starburst appeared over her grave and pulsated to my very words.  In Revelation 4:3 the Spirit of God is described by John: “And He who sat there was like jasper (dark green) and a sardius (carnelian red) stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow (rainbows are circular) around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.”  Was the spirit of my late wife the Spirit of God?  Bonnie came back to me in Spirit and told me her name: KaRa, which in ancient Egyptian means Spirit of God. Question: Is Ra El?

My mother was there as a witness. After I finished saying my farewell statement, the shape of her aura changed to that of a symbolic pair of angel’s wings, opening and closing several times.

Then a beam of light descended from an overhead cloud (see image above), stopping just above her grave.

The beam of light was several feet wide and had a waterfall of light strands falling off of it, like ice sickles, which broke apart when they hit the ground, the pieces dancing around on the ground like water on a hot plate.

It was like nothing I had ever seen before.

The beam captured her spirit, and I could see the colors of her aura ascend inside the beam up into the cloud.  The beam originated from a light as brilliant as the Sun within the cloud, leading my mother to say, “Oh, how beautiful.  The Sun is breaking through the cloud and sending a sunbeam down to Bonnie’s grave.”   Then the bright light in the cloud went out.  But it was 8:31 am in the morning, and the real Sun had barely cleared the tree tops to the east. The position of the Sun can be seen in other shots on the video. Whatever caused the light was hidden in that cloud (see images above of Shekinah with a giant, white, disc-shaped domed ship inside).

The experience I had is called an Epiphany, and what my mother and I witnessed was a Shekinah or “Glory Cloud” of God.  It is like those described in scripture.  Ask any Priest or Rabbi.  Based on this experience, I can state unequivocally that many of the descriptions of similar events in the Bible can be taken literally, adjusting for semantics and our interpretation of the words used to describe those events. Thanks to Bruce Cornet M.S., Ph.D.

New found Alien Planet Is Best Place Yet to Search for Life

By Calla Cofield, Space.com Staff Writer | April 19, 2017 01:01pm ET

A newly discovered planet around a distant star may jump to the top of the list of places where scientists should go looking for alien life.

The alien world known as LHS 1140b is rocky, like Earth. It is only 40 light-years away from our solar system and sits in the so-called habitable zone of its parent star, which means liquid water could potentially exist on the planet’s surface. It’s the kind of place where life could thrive. We could hardly hope for a better target to perform one of the biggest quests in science — searching for evidence of life beyond Earth.” [10 Exoplanets That Might Be Perfect to Support Life] Thanks to Space.com

Indian Flying Shields

Gary A. David writes, “The sky god Sotuknang, took them on his flying shield up into the sky so that they could see for many miles around.” Feeding the hungry children ripe melons, he told them that they must have faith in him and in his teachings that would later arrive through their dreams. Finally he landed a short distance from the village in which their mother and father had settled, bid the young ones farewell, and flew up again into the clouds. Forever grateful to the sky god, the brother and sister walked into the village to be reunited with their parents.

The Hopi have always viewed their land as sacred. Agriculture is a very important part of their culture, and their villages are spread out across the northern part of Arizona. The Hopi and the Navajo did not have a conception of land being bounded and divided. They lived on the land that their ancestors did. On December 16, 1882 President Arthur passed an executive order creating a reservation for the Hopi. It was much smaller than the Navajo reservation, which was the largest in the country.[5]

On October 24, 1936 the Hopi people ratified a Constitution. That Constitution created a unicameral government where all powers are vested in a Tribal Council. Indian tribal police often report seeing UFOs

Today, the Hopi Reservation is entirely surrounded by the much larger Navajo Reservation.

Mask of Sotuknang.

Kachina dolls are objects made in human or humanlike shape, and they are common in Native American ritual, often referred to as sky gods. Although sold as objects of art, the spectacular kachina dolls retain a valued religious role, particularly in educating children. Hopi Native Americans use kachina dolls to instruct their children in the ways of Hopi tradition and belief. Kachina dolls are passed out to children in ceremonies representing spirits that act as mediators between gods and humans.

Kachinas are not gods per se but spirits that act as mediators between gods and humans. They may take the form of any animal, plant, celestial body, or otherworldly creature. During the spring and early summer the Hopis perform a ceremonial cycle of masked kachina dances as a plea for rain and the general well being of the tribe.

On Second Mesa near Mishongnovi an ancient petroglyph depicts a dome-shaped object resting on an arrow which represents travel through space, and the head of a Hopi maiden who represents pristine purity. As the Hopis believe that other planets are inhabited, this petroglyph represents a paatuwvota or a ‘flying shield’ similar to a ‘flying saucer’ that came here in the Beginning. So now at the End the sacred ones will arrive from another planet, said to be Venus, in UFOs. Many Hopi traditionalists recently have reported seeing flying saucers, all piloted by beings they call Kachinas.”                                                                                                         

Because the Hopis had no such thing as a saucer, flying or otherwise, they named it after the cultural accouterment closest to that shape, namely, the warrior’s shield. The word tuwvota specifically signifies this type of shield. Oddly, the concept of war is connected in Hopi ideology with the stars. The use of tuwvota rather than the more common word for ‘disk’ or ‘circle’ thus suggests a celestial origin for the paatuwvota. The tradition of the flying shield also appears in rock art.

The photo is an ancient petroglyph, or rock carving, found near Winslow, Arizona apparently showing a triangular craft.

The Orion Zone discusses a certain star in the left hand of Orion. This star is called Pi 3 Orionis (HIP 22449), only 26 light-years from Earth. It is slightly larger and hotter than our Sun, but it basically similar. ‘

 


Pi3 Orionis has become one of the top 100 target stars for NASA’s planned Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) hoping to find planets like Earth. At an apparent visual magnitude of 3.16, it is readily visible to the naked eye. Pi3Orionis is the brightest star in the lion’s hide (or shield) that Orion is holding.

Author Gary A. David has written an intriguing book about the ancient origins of the Hopi in the “The Orion Zone: Hopi Star Correlations in the American Southwest,” as he explores the sky-ground relationship in the American Southwest and its astounding global significance.

The Hisatsinom, or the ancestral Hopi (formerly known as the Anasazi), used the Orion constellation as a template to determine the locations of their stone villages in northern Arizona. The Hopi god Masau’u, ruler of both the earth plane and the underworld, spiritually mandated this “terrestrial Orion” to closely mirror its celestial counterpart. These villages correspond to each major star in the constellation, which includes the Belt and in some respects, is similar to the Giza-Orion Correlation in Egypt. Learn the secrets of the Hopi at:

Filer’s Files #17 – 2017 Devasting Comet Strike - PART II

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Chemtrails

I first noticed a very strange silent misty rectangle in the sky. I had been looking for chemtrails in the sky and started taking photos of the numerous chemtrials that never existed a decade ago. I had never seen one like this! It was very broad, perhaps 300 feet across and had straight sharp rectangular edges. The length of it extended perhaps a thousand feet/  I used a Nikon Coolpix 16 megapixel compact digital camera with wide angle/zoom. The object faded after 20 minutes. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Missile?

 Vacaville – The UFO appeared with a sudden burst of energy so I grabbed my phone and started recording. I was on I-80 on February 14, 2017, and object was in the west. Object was hovering. The news claimed, “Navy Strategic Systems Programs conducted scheduled Trident II (D5) missile test flights at sea from an Ohio Class SSBN, in the Pacific Test Range off the coast of California,”
This does not seem correct as the “missile” barley moved and the “tail” did not change orientation at all. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Florida Orb


Cocoa
 
— On April 6, 2017, the objects appeared to be east of I-95 by 100 yards or so. The objects turned east for two minutes and then vanished all at the same point. There was one vehicle behind the others following but it stayed in the area an extra two minutes. It also vanished shortly after turning due east. Note there had been a Brush fire earlier at 5:00 PM and the objects could have been from that although they could stay aloft that long and be on fire. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Georgia Object

 My husband, two young children and I were driving down the highway just before sunset on April 9, 2017 when I noticed a large, stationary object in the sky. It was oblong spherical in shape and it didn’t seem to move as we drove towards the city. It hovered there until the sun went down or I could not see it anymore. It was easily viewable and but it look like a blimp or a dark cloud. I viewed it for 15-20 minutes before it got too dark to see anymore. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Visitor

Edinburg — Pamela Stark reports photographing a visitor on April 20, 2017. Thanks to Pamela

Michigan Light

 On April 10, 2017, I already sent this in and I would like to hear something back. I don’t know if you tried to reply and it’s getting caught in my spam. I’ll send the same video and pictures. Three seconds in the object appears in two locations at the same time. I took a screen shot as it moves very fast and the camera view keeps changing. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nevada Disc

 Las Vegas — Among all of the many experiences I have been having this one is significant. I believe that as soon as I saw the UFO and began videotaping it on April 18, 2017, the UFO began communicating with me telepathically. I felt it so strongly that I actually began talking to it out loud as well as mentally responding. So I began to think, “OK, if you are what I think you are come closer…” and it did. It came toward me and I instructed it not to scare me. So it reversed. We played that little game until I was convinced I was really having a real encounter.” My photos clearly showed a round disc shape. It was a dull almost textured looking color with letters or symbols, or possibly a door. The letters resembled the letter ‘B’ and an ‘H’ together. The craft was maneuvering every direction. My girlfriend took some pictures. Driving home I took pictures of the huge World Center on Alta Drive and saw the same disc I had seen the night before. My heart was pounding and I heard communication! The message was something like…”You definitely saw what you thought you saw last night!” They were confirming they were real and honestly, it kind of felt like they were having fun letting me know this. I don’t know if I was abducted or not and I have a lot more things to share with you in following reports. Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Pulsating Object

Northvale — I came out of ShopRite and the sky was a perfect blue at 4:41 PM on March 8, 2017, I noticed two large twin engine jet air craft flying close to each other about the size of an airbus 300. They were both flying in close formation at 18,000 to 24,000 feet in altitude. Both jets gave off heavy contrails and you could clearly make out the shape of the jets and their wing shape and their engines. Pacing both jets and flying in a direct path due south was a lead plane followed by the object and then the second jet directly behind the object. The object appeared to be about a 1/4 of the size of the jets and gave off no contrail, which struck me as odd being they were all flying at the same speed same altitude and the same direction, The object and the trailing plane all appeared to be following the lead plane, when first spotted the object between the planes seemed to be like a light lead colored as it moved along with the planes it seemed to change to a bright light pulsating at uneven intervals, again no contrails from this object, it perfectly paced the jets and I watched the two jets and the object for four minutes 15 miles away flying south 15 miles west of NYC. The object was at least three times brighter than the jets when dim and 7 to 10 times brighter at its brightest point when pulsating. I observe this from directly below to watching it move off. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

New York Orb

 Carmel — I was on the deck with my night vision NV-100 looking at stars and I saw this red-orange light moving east on April 18, 2917. No sound and it was pulsating red orange to white in color.  and went backward toward the North you can see the stars behind it as it passed them it was moving kind of fast. You couldn’t see it without the night vision camera. It was turning a red-orange color. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Lights

Moonah, Tasmania — I’m an insomniac, I saw these lights in overcast sky and got a video with my Samsung s6 phone, The lights move like they were at each end of a stick. I said ok, now merge together, and the lights moved much closer together and flew to me.
I was able to observe two teardrop shapes; one hovered above me while the other continued. I was arrested the next morning for abusing the traffic out front. I was furious that my fellow humans were so ignorant of a greater existence in the universe. I have ability to ‘lift the veil’ and reveal a multitude of huge and various craft, even a giant city floating in the clouds on a rocky base. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada Object

Scarborough — On Tuesday, April 18, 2017 while on work break I was outside with a co-worker and noticed a bright white object was moving west. It was quite high and fast as I managed to take four pictures as I lost sight of it over the roof. This sighting lasted for about fifteen seconds at 3:15 pm.  Thanks to Paul Shishis

 Columbia Cylinder

 Medellín — On April 8, 2017, in the middle of a thunderstorm I wanted to take a photograph of a lightning bolt in action. For that purpose I first used the camera of a Samsung J7 phone and I began to manually take a series of photographs and caught the image of a lightning, but found images that I could not explain. I took numerous photos with an iPad bursting program. I caught lightning, and found the object again in two photographs.

Costa Rica Disc

San Jose — Close to Irazu Volcano Costa Rica object observed in the sky. Photograph taken on April 15, 2017. Thanks to MUFON CMS

India Cigar

Hyderabad city — My name is Umesh and I’m located in the Southern region of India. What I’m going to describe briefly is that few weeks ago around 7 pm as i got out of my room on the 3rd floor, i saw a white cigar like object flying east, and it took about 5-7 seconds for the UFO to fly from west to east. it reversed direction and went backward to the west direction and vanished. This is what I actually saw with my naked eyes. Sincerely, Umesh Verma.

Italy Green Object

 Malcesine — I discovered a strange greenish object on our Company Webcam taken at 21:40 on April 3, 2017, located in Malcesine, Italy facing west. And also two strange strips with dots which I believe must be an airplane but I did not witness the event in person.
The Camera takes a shot every 10 minutes during night. There is Youtube video about that Picture and his theory is there to hide planet x. Thanks to MUFON CMS

United Kingdom/ England Objects

 Newton Abbott — I was out sky watching when I noticed a black object far off in the distance at 1:44 PM GMT on the 19th of ‎April ‎2016. I zoomed in to the object with my Sony HX300 camera and could clearly see that the object was jet black with smoke in small bursts. I managed to take one photograph of this strange object before it sped off at incredible rate of speed. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

New 'Kitty Hawk' flying car footage revealed

New 'Kitty Hawk' flying car footage revealed

news-kitty-hawk.jpg
The Kitty Hawk Flyer operates over water. Image Credit: YouTube / Kitty Hawk
The company behind the futuristic aerial vehicle was financially backed by Google founder Larry Page.
The video, which is the first to feature a working prototype of the Kitty Hawk Flyer, shows an enthusiastic aviator flying the vehicle over a lake to meet up with a group of friends in a boat.

Described as an "all-electric aircraft", the vehicle is only able to operate over water but doen't require a pilot's license to operate because it falls under the "ultralight" FAA category.

According to the company, a consumer version of the Kitty Hawk Flyer will be available to purchase before the end of the year however it remains unclear exactly how much it will cost.

Those particularly keen to get their hands on one though can sign up for a $100 membership that will net them priority placement on the waiting list and a $2,000 discount.

Mysterious Canadian aurora nicknamed 'Steve'

Mysterious Canadian aurora nicknamed 'Steve'

news-aurora-norway.jpg
The Aurora Borealis is not alone in the Canadian skies. Image Credit: CC BY 2.0 Carsten Frenzl
The phenomenon was first discovered by a group of amateur Aurora Borealis photographers in Alberta.
Consisting of a bright strip of light stretching from east to west, the peculiarly named "Steve" was first picked up by members of Alberta Aurora Chasers, a Facebook group frequented by people looking to share information about the best places to photograph the Northern Lights.

According to Professor Eric Donovan at the University of Calgary, "Steve" is essentially a strip of ionized gas traveling at around four miles per second across Canada.

"The really cool thing about this is the social media providing a nice bridge between the scientific community and these amateurs, who are incredibly talented observers of the night sky," he said.

Reaching temperatures of up to 10,800 degrees Fahrenheit ( the same as the Earth's core ), this peculiar phenomenon is 16 miles wide and thousands of miles long.

Chris Ratzlaff, the Facebook group's administrator, admits that his inspiration for the name "Steve" came from a joke in the 2006 animated movie "Over the Hedge".

Until Professor Donovan can complete his research in to the nature and origins of the phenomenon however it is likely that its unusual moniker will be here to stay.

Aliens may have existed in our solar system long before us

Aliens may have existed in our solar system long before us

By Jasper Hamill, The Sun

The solar system humanity calls home may have once been inhabited by an extinct species of spacefaring aliens, a top scientist has suggested.

A space scientist has suggested ancient extraterrestrials could have lived on Mars, Venus or even Earth before disappearing without a trace.

In a fascinating academic paper about “prior indigenous technological species,” James T. Wright from Pennsylvania State University raised the fascinating possibility that evidence of these extinct aliens could exist somewhere in the solar system.

Wright is an astronomer who received global attention after suggesting an “alien megastructure” had been spotted in orbit around a distant star.

Now the stargazer has said advanced aliens may have left behind “technosignatures” for us to find – if only we knew where to look for them.

“A prior indigenous technological species might have arisen on ancient Earth or another body, such as a pre-greenhouse Venus or a wet Mars,” he wrote.

However, most of the archaeological evidence of an ancient civilization would probably have been lost.

Earth’s plate tectonics would effectively “erased” the traces of a civilization that lived billions of years ago.

Venus is in the grip of a severe greenhouse effect and also undergoes similar “resurfacing” which would scour its land clean of artifacts.

This leaves just a handful of places where archaeologists might find traces of a lost extraterrestrial civilization.

“Remaining indigenous technosignatures might be expected to be extremely old, limiting the places they might still be found to beneath the surfaces of Mars and the Moon, or in the outer Solar System,” Wright added.

He said alien evidence was likely to be buried beneath the ground, allowing it to survive asteroid impacts.

“Structures buried beneath surfaces might survive and be discoverable as long as they do not suffer a collision so severe that their artificial nature is obliterated,” Wright added.

“Merely destroying them would render them nonfunctional, but they might still be recognizably technological.

“We might conjecture that settlements or bases on these objects would have been built beneath the surface for a variety of reasons, and so still be discoverable today.”

The astronomer suggested that very old spaceships could still be lingering in the Asteroid Belt or Kuiper Belt, a disc at the very edge of the solar system that’s made up of icy objects.

These artifacts are likely to be the remains of ancient probes, space bases or industrial facilities.

“In the case of a prior indigenous technological species, the artifacts might have had totally different purposes, such as asteroid mining operations or settlements on other planets and moons,” Wright wrote.

“Such structures would be expected to fall into disrepair, especially if its creators are absent.”

So where are these aliens likely to have come from?

Wright suggested they may hail from somewhere that’s very close to home.

The presence of intelligent life on Earth makes it more likely that ye olde aliens hailed from this solar system, rather than being descended from an “extraterrestrial species that crossed interstellar space,” he concluded.

These freaky 'moans' were recorded deep beneath the sea

These freaky 'moans' were recorded deep beneath the sea

Mysterious sound

Scientists say the alien five-part call from the Mariana Trench is similar to the so-called 'Star Wars' sound.

Reaching staggering depths of 36,000 feet and more, the Mariana Trench is the deepest known part of the ocean and holds some of the world’s most intriguing secrets – but even at relatively shallower depths, mysteries prevail. Case in point, a curious audio recording collected by a team of scientists from Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center. 

Named the “Western Pacific Biotwang,” the sound is unusual for its complexity and wide frequency range. It could potentially be a previously unheard call of a baleen whale, though many questions remain.

“It’s very distinct, with all these crazy parts,” said Sharon Nieukirk, senior faculty research assistant in marine bioacoustics at Oregon State. “The low-frequency moaning part is typical of baleen whales, and it’s that kind of twangy sound that makes it really unique. We don’t find many new baleen whale calls.”

The researchers describe the sound, which lasts between 2.5 and 3.5 seconds, as a five-part call that “includes deep moans at frequencies as low as 38 hertz and a metallic finale that pushes as high as 8,000 hertz.” The Biotwang sounds something like the so-called “Star Wars” sound made by dwarf minke whales on the Great Barrier Reef (you can listen to both sounds in the video below).

Minke whales belong to the baleen whale family and make a variety of calls specific to the regions they live in – along with the Star Wars there are “boings” in the North Pacific and "low-frequency pulse trains" in the Atlantic.

“We don’t really know that much about minke whale distribution at low latitudes,” says Nieukirk, lead author of the study. “The species is the smallest of the baleen whales, doesn’t spend much time at the surface, has an inconspicuous blow, and often lives in areas where high seas make sighting difficult. But they call frequently, making them good candidates for acoustic studies.”

Nieukirk says that like the Star Wars call, the Biotwang has complex structure, frequency sweep and a metallic ending – thus making it logical that it could be coming from a minke whale. But they aren’t sure yet and mysteries ensue. For example, notes a press statement from OSU, “baleen whale calls are often related to mating and heard mainly during the winter, yet the Western Pacific Biotwang was recorded throughout the year.”

“If it’s a mating call, why are we getting it year round? That’s a mystery,” says Nieukirk. “We need to determine how often the call occurs in summer versus winter, and how widely this call is really distributed.”

“Now that we’ve published these data, we hope researchers can identify this call in past and future data, and ultimately we should be able to pin down the source of the sound,” Nieukirk continues. “More data are needed, including genetic, acoustic and visual identification of the source, to confirm the species and gain insight into how this sound is being used. Our hope is to mount an expedition to go out and do acoustic localization, find the animals, get biopsy samples and find out exactly what’s making the sound. It really is an amazing, weird sound, and good science will explain it.”

Scientists Found Something Super Weird in This Giant Glob of Stars

Scientists Found Something Super Weird in This Giant Glob of Stars

Globular clusters are just as they sound: giant spherical globs of stars gravitationally bound by a central force. But the source of that central force might not actually be what we thought.

Normally, globular clusters have a plethora of low mass X-ray binary stars(LMXBs), in which one object is a hungry neutron star and the other is known as a companion and basically acts as a cosmic dust and/or gas donor to the neutron. It has long since been theorized that the accredited object could also be a black hole, but scientists have never found this to be the case, until now.

A new study of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, or NGC 104, some 16,700 light-years from Earth in the constellation Tucana, is showing a LMXB called X9 that could quite possibly have a black hole instead of a neutron star.

Scientists used the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, NuSTAR, and the Australia Compact Array, to capture a 28-minute modulation of X9’s signal. They found that the signal exhibited signs of a white dwarf about .02 solar-masses in size orbiting a black hole of about one solar mass in size.

On top of this, the white dwarf has an unusually short precession period of 6.8 days, and is giving an unusually high rate of mass to the black hole, about seven-millionths of an Earth-mass per year.

If X9 truly is a black hole LMXB, then it would be the first known case in our galaxy and would challenge scientists understanding of globular clusters and how black holes interact with them. All in an effort to make sense of the wild universe beyond us.

VADER EN DOCHTER FILMEN UFO VANUIT RYANAIR VLIEGTUIG ( VIDEO )

VADER EN DOCHTER FILMEN UFO VANUIT RYANAIR VLIEGTUIG ( VIDEO )

mc.jpg

Wanneer je met vakantie gaat met het vliegtuig en na het opstijgen kom je boven de wolken uit, dan is dat vaak een prachtig gezicht. 

De negenjarige Gloria vond dat ook en was van mening dat haar vader dit moest filmen. Het resultaat beperkte zich niet alleen maar tot lucht en wolken. 



David Woodward was enkele weken geleden met zijn gezin onderweg vanaf het vliegveld van Manchester naar een zonnige bestemming op het Canarische eiland Lanzarote. 

Na de start is het vliegtuig van Ryanair op ongeveer kruishoogte aangekomen boven de wolken en de negenjarige dochter Georgia vindt dit prachtig en wil dat vader haar en de lucht filmt. 

Deze doet dat en dan verschijnt er een donker object in beeld, in de buurt van de vleugel. 

Dat er als volgt uitzag:

De bedoeling van de vader was niet om een UFO te filmen, maar om een leuke opname te maken voor het Youtube kanaal van zijn dochter. 

Vader David, “Net toen Georgia zei hoe prachtig de lucht er uit zag, ontdekte ik het zwarte object. Het was vreemd, want het bleef van richting veranderen. Georgia was een beetje sceptisch en moest lachen toen ik zei dat ik dacht dat het een UFO was”. 

“Ik ben heel erg benieuwd wat de mensen hier van vinden”. 

Misschien geen toeval dat deze UFO is waargenomen in de buurt van Manchester, omdat de omgeving daar bekendstaat als een zogenaamde UFO hotspot. 

Niet alleen Manchester is een hotspot, ook Ryanair komt vaker in beeld voor wat betreft UFO’s, zoals anderhalf jaar geleden toen het verhaal de ronde deed over een bijna botsing tussen een Ryanair toestel en een UFO bij vliegveld Eindhoven. 

Dat was niet het geval bij de waarneming van David en dochter Georgia, hoog boven de wolken.

De zoektocht naar aliens. Wat weten dr.ir. Coen Vermeeren en Lange Frans meer?

De zoektocht naar aliens. Wat weten dr.ir. Coen Vermeeren en Lange Frans meer?

De zoektocht naar aliens. Wat weten dr.ir. Coen Vermeeren en Lange Frans meer?

Een vraag die de mensheid al eeuwenlang bezighoudt. Zijn er aliens? Studenten van de Filmacademie in Amsterdam hebben er een documentaire over gemaakt.

Searching for Aliens is een film over de drijfveren van vijf mensen die zich bezighouden met de zoektocht naar buitenaards leven.

Een astronomische klokkenluider, een predikant, een rapper, een sterrenkundige en de voormalig directeur van hét telescoop-centrum van Europa.

Veel meer

Allemaal zijn ze op uiteenlopende manieren op zoek naar antwoorden op dezelfde vraag. Is er leven buiten de aarde?

“De zoektocht naar buitenaards leven, is een zoektocht naar onszelf,” zegt sterrenkundige Lucas Ellerbroek.

In de film wordt langzaam maar zeker duidelijk dat er nog wel eens veel meer kan zijn.

Bewustwording

Het is een ‘gelaagde’ film die verschillende thema’s behandelt; het spanningsveld tussen het rationele en emotionele bij de mens, en de bewustwording dat de aarde een plek is die we moeten koesteren.

“Als we er echt achter zouden komen dat we alleen zijn, dan zou dat ons kunnen vertellen dat we goed voor onze planeet moeten zorgen, dat we voor elkaar moeten zorgen, dat we niet moeten denken in termen van landen, maar in termen van mensen en het zijn op deze planeet,” aldus oud-directeur van ASTRON Mike Garret.

De zoektocht naar aliens. Wat weten dr.ir. Coen Vermeeren en Lange Frans meer?

De zoektocht naar aliens (Facebook)

Of zijn aliens al hier?

Enorme weerstand

Lucht- en ruimtevaartdeskundige Coen Vermeeren, bekend van het boek UFO’s bestaan gewoon, legt uit dat er een enorme weerstand in de huidige wetenschap zit, ook in de huidige maatschappij, die volledig is gefocust op rendement.

Niet vandaag, niet morgen, nee gisteren hadden we dat rendement moeten hebben. “Dat is funest voor de mensheid, daaraan gaan we echt ten onder.”

Vermeeren wil dat de samenleving open gaat staan voor het idee dat UFO’s wél echt bestaan. Hij wil dat het afgelopen is met de geheimhouding en pleit voor het openbreken van het debat.

Geheimhouden

Hij zegt in de film dat hij ooit eens een goudkleurige bol zag aankomen. “Hij stopte een tijdje en ging daarna rechtsaf,” zei hij. “Nou, dat kan niet.”

Lange Frans, die met zijn muziek velen bereikt, houdt zich als rapper ook bezig met leven buiten de aarde.

Hij doet dat bijvoorbeeld in het nummer Kamervragen II, waarin hij de politiek bevraagt over het geheimhouden van zaken die gaan over buitenaards leven.

Bekentenissen

Het nummer gaat onder meer over de bekentenissen van NASA-astronauten die op de maan waren over het bestaan van UFO’s, waarvan volgens hen een deel buitenaards is.

Zou het niet ontzettend veel kunnen betekenen als we erachter komen dat we niet de enigen zijn in het heelal?

De studenten hebben hier een crowdfundingsactie opgezet om hun film af te kunnen maken. Hun Facebookpagina vind je hier.

Searching for Aliens gaat in juni 2017 in EYE Amsterdam in première en wordt in september uitgezonden op tv.

Bekijk hieronder alvast een trailer:

IS THE TRUTH OUT THERE? UFOs filmed darting behind NASA astronaut during ISS space walk

IS THE TRUTH OUT THERE? UFOs filmed darting behind NASA astronaut during ISS space walk

A FLEET of UFOs were filmed by a camera on the International Space Station (ISS) in the background as an astronaut carried out repairs, it has astonishingly been claimed.

In the NASA footage, an astronaut is seen outside the ISS carrying out maintenance, when a number of objects come into view in the distance.

It appears to be complete darkness before the three bright objects whiz into view.

There have been claims of a cover up, as, although the video was placed online by NASA, it appears to cut and go inside the ISS after the objects appear.

It has been highlighted by YouTube channel SecureTeam10 in a new video.

Tyler Glockner, who runs the channel, said: "You can clearly see that it is flying straight towards the camera, coming in at an angle, before curving and taking a left-hand turn and flying out of sight.”

He slows down the video and then highlights the second and third objects which he claims “are moving in complete unison with the main UFO”.

He added: “This is not a result of blurring or anything like that because when this thing passes and reflects light it holds its shape.

“We have another object directly above it that seems to be attached to it.”

Thousands of people have viewed the video and commented.

One said: “People must be blind not to see the spaceships.” 

Another said: “One large UFO aircraft being hunted down and chased after by two smaller likely interceptor based craft.”

Others were more sceptical.

Huge UFO 'disappeared into wormhole' after bizarre events near top secret military base

Huge UFO 'disappeared into wormhole' after bizarre events near top secret military base

A GIGANTIC UFO disappeared into a "portal to another dimension" a witness to a series of shocking events near a US Air Force base believes.

The startling account is being examined by the US-based Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) the world's biggest organisation dedicated to UFO and alien research.

The unnamed witness, from Mesquite, Nevada, has filed a report to MUFON, in which he suggests that the cylinder-shaped UFO may have disappeared into a wormhole - which is a theoretical portal to another dimension.

He said it happened after there was fighter jet activity near the Nellis Air Force base in Las Vegas, Nevada.

According to alien conspiracy theorists the base is where the US military secretly carries out tests on UFO technology recovered from visiting aliens.

One, Scott C Waring, of ufosightingsdaily.com, even claimed that a known species of aliens called the “Tall Whites” are actually based inside Nellis Air Force Base where they help the USAF develop their technologies in exchange for mineral resources they require on their planet.

There is no known evidence to support this theory other than it being repeated on various conspiracy theory websites.

The alleged witness was inside watching television at 8.17pm local time on March 19, while his daughter played outside with friends, when things allegedly got strange.

He wrote: "I heard a loud roar outside, I went out my second-floor sliding door onto the porch. There were a lot of kids playing below when suddenly a fighter jet flew lover over my apartment building.

"I could see the afterburners burning a flame it was so close."

He said he watched for 45 minutes and there were two fighter jets involved.

It was so loud people came outside from 50 apartments, he said.

The man said one jet flew off towards the air base, the both were gone.

RELATED ARTICLES

My guess, a large worm hole opened in the sky, then closed.

UFO witness

He added: "The other fighter reappeared maybe ten minutes later coming over the mountain, diving over the city again, low, then up and out of sight.

"I thought it was over then I heard my neighbour in the next unit over yell 'what's that?'."

He said he looked up and just above the three-storey block opposite him about 100 feet in the sky was "a long tube."

He added: "A bright yellow, maybe 60 feet long, tube coming towards me. 

"It was round like a snake and big enough to drive a three-storey house through.

"As it came towards me, it made a sharp U-turn, like a plumbing pipe, then slowly dissipated

RELATED ARTICLES

"My guess, a large worm hole opened in the sky, then closed.

"It was now dark, the jet was gone."

MUFON is investigating the case to see if other witnesses will speak.

But, readers of the initial report are sceptical.

One poster, calling himself Doctor Moebius posted on the MUFON website: "'Witness speculates UFO moved through worm hole'... wow. Now THAT'S science. Not.

"I speculate the vehicle moves so fast that the witness cannot discern acceleration; I speculate the vehicle's artificial gravity drive creates an Alcubierre-Puthoff bubble which provides invisibility for the disk, as light bends around the active bubble.

"I could speculate more, but then, that wouldn't be very scientific now, would it?"

Martian tree stump discovered by alien hunters points towards existence of life on ancient Mars

Martian tree stump discovered by alien hunters points towards existence of life on ancient Mars

The alien hunters strongly believe that this ancient tree stump proves that the Red Planet supported life once.

Earlier this month, a new discovery was made by alien hunters on Mars which points towards the existence of a Martian tree stump, believed to be ancient.

Also Read: NASA is presently facing a lawsuit! Here's why!

The astronomers had revealed earlier that ancient Mars was more habitable than we previously believed it to be, and this tree stump is being estimated to be strong evidence about the Red Planet being livable by the conspiracy theorists.

The reason why Mars was believed to be more habitable than previously assumed by the astronomers is because of the discovery of the presence of a mineral called whitlockite, which was found in the Martian meteorites examined by a group of researchers. This mineral comprised hydrogen which is a life-building matter; this revealed that there was presence of more water on ancient Mars at a point of time.

"This could be an ancient tree stump on Mars," Scott C Waring stated on his blog on UFO Sightings Daily, as quoted by The Sun.

"It would be logical to assume that a variety of tree either existed or still exists on this enigmatic planet," Waring added.

The alien hunters strongly believe that this ancient tree stump proves that the Red Planet supported life once.

A YouTube channel named Paranormal Crucible stated in it's video description: "Intriguing object found by the curiosity rover, this time a possible tree stump. This object definitely looks out of place and in my opinion could be the petrified remnants of a Martian tree. Object is around 3 feet in height, and with numerous discoveries of plant and animal life on mars, it would be logical to assume, that a variety of tree either existed, or still exists on this enigmatic planet."

Ta-ta to Titan! Cassini makes its last close flyby of moon as it prepares to crash into Saturn as its 'grand finale'

Ta-ta to Titan! Cassini makes its last close flyby of moon as it prepares to crash into Saturn as its 'grand finale'

  • On April 22, Cassini made its closest approach with Saturn's moon Titan
  • On April 26, Cassini will make the first of 22 dives through an unexplored gap
  • It will dive through the 1,500-mile-wide gap between Saturn and its rings
  • Researchers hope to collect the first-ever samples of Saturn's atmosphere
  • Cassini's mission will officially terminate on September 15, in a planned plunge

NASA's Cassini spacecraft has made its final flyby of Saturn's massive moon Titan, collecting data on the hydrocarbon lakes and haze-enshrouded surface of the alien world. 

On April 22, the spacecraft made its closest approach to Titan at a speed of about 13,000 miles per hour, marking the beginning of its 'Grand Finale.'

This encounter will cause Titan's gravity to bend Cassini's orbit, pulling it slightly in so that it can begin its final set of 22 dives between Saturn and its rings, before plunging into the planet on Sept 15.

CASSINI'S 'GRAND FINALE'

Cassini has circled Saturn for 13 years since reaching its orbit in 2004, spearheading remarkable discoveries about the ringed planet and its icy moons – but now, it's running low on fuel.

On April 22, the spacecraft will transition into its grand finale orbits, taking one last close flyby of Saturn's massive moon Titan.

Then, Titan's gravity will bend Cassini's flight path, causing the orbit to shrink until it passes between the planet and the inner edges of its rings.

Then, on April 26, Cassini will make the first of 22 dives through an unexplored gap before it ultimately plunges through the skies of Saturn to end its mission as 'part of the planet itself.'

Cassini's mission will officially terminate on September 15, after a planned plummet through Saturn's atmosphere.

And, all the while, it will transmit data from several instruments until the signal is finally lost.

The spacecraft made its 127th and final close approach to Titan on April 21 at 11:08 p.m. PDT (2:08 a.m. EDT on April 22), passing at an altitude of about 608 miles (979 kilometers) above the moon's surface.

Cassini transmitted its images and other data to Earth following the encounter.

Scientists with Cassini's radar investigation will be looking this week at their final set of new radar images of the hydrocarbon seas and lakes that spread across Titan's north polar region. 

The planned imaging coverage includes a region previously seen by Cassini's imaging cameras, but not by radar. 

The radar team also plans to use the new data to probe the depths and compositions of some of Titan's small lakes for the first (and last) time, and look for further evidence of the evolving feature researchers have dubbed the 'magic island'.

'Cassini's up-close exploration of Titan is now behind us, but the rich volume of data the spacecraft has collected will fuel scientific study for decades to come,' said Linda Spilker, the mission's project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. 

It marks the beginning of the 'thrilling final chapter' of Cassini's life, twenty years after it left Earth.

The craft has circled Saturn for 13 years since reaching its orbit in 2004, spearheading remarkable discoveries about the ringed planet and its icy moons – but now, it's running low on fuel.

"With this flyby we're committed to the Grand Finale," said Earl Maize, Cassini project manager at JPL. 

"The spacecraft is now on a ballistic path, so that even if we were to forgo future small course adjustments using thrusters, we would still enter Saturn's atmosphere on Sept. 15 no matter what."

THE CASSINI MISSION 

Since it left earth in 1997 and arrived at Saturn in 2004, Cassini has been touring the system with an up-close study of the planet, its rings and moons. 

During its journey, Cassini has made dramatic discoveries, including a global ocean within Enceladus and liquid methane seas on Titan.

Before Nasa's Cassini probe captured the most detailed images of Saturn ever seen, it dropped its companion Huygens on the planet's largest moon, Titan. 

After nearly 20 years in space, the mission is drawing near its end because the spacecraft is running low on fuel.

In a captivating video released earlier this month, the space agency revealed a glimpse at Cassini's 'grand finale.'

On April 26, Cassini will make the first of 22 dives through an unexplored gap before it ultimately plunges through the skies of Saturn to end its mission as 'part of the planet itself.' 

Cassini's mission will officially terminate on September 15, after a planned plummet through Saturn's atmosphere.

And, all the while, it will transmit data from several instruments until the signal is finally lost.

In the months leading up to this dramatic conclusion, though, the craft will carry out a plan that is 'in many ways, like a whole new mission,' according to NASA.

Cassini will dive through the 1,500-mile-wide (2,400-kilometer) gap between Saturn and its rings.

'No spacecraft has ever gone through the unique region that we'll attempt to boldly cross 22 times,' said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

'What we learn from Cassini's daring final orbits will further our understanding of how giant planets, and planetary systems everywhere, form and evolve.

'This is truly discovery in action to the very end.'

Researchers first decided the craft would terminate its mission in this way back in 2010.

Its terminal orbits over the next five months will bring it closer to Saturn than ever before.

As the craft 'repeatedly braves this unexplored region,' it will investigate the origins of the rings and the nature of the planet's interior, the video explains.

This weekend, NASA¿s Cassini spacecraft will make a close flyby of Saturn¿s moon Titan, collecting data on the hydrocarbon lakes and haze-enshrouded surface of the alien world. And, this will be its last

'This planned conclusion for Cassini's journey was far and away the preferred choice for the mission's scientists,' said Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

'Cassini will make some of its most extraordinary observations at the end of its long life.' 

According to NASA, the researchers hope to collect the first-ever samples of Saturn's atmosphere and particles coming from the main rings.

On top of this, the craft will obtain the closest views yet of Saturn's clouds and inner rings.

Scientists made the final checks on the space probe's command list ahead of its finale, and uploaded them on April 11.

'Based on our best models, we expect the gap to be clear of particles large enough to damage the spacecraft,' said Earl Maize, Cassini project manager at JPL.

'But we're also being cautious by using our large antenna as a shield on the first pass, as we determine whether it's safe to expose the science instruments to that environment on future passes.

TITAN: EARTH'S 'TOXIC TWIN'

Aside from Earth, Titan is the only place in the solar system known to have rivers, rainfall and seas - and possibly even waterfalls.

Of course, in the case of Titan these are liquid methane rather than water on Earth.

Regular Earth-water, H2O, would be frozen solid on Titan where the surface temperature is -180°C (-292°F).

With its thick atmosphere and organic-rich chemistry, Titan resembles a frozen version of Earth several billion years ago, before life began pumping oxygen into our atmosphere.

Because Titan is smaller than Earth, its gravity does not hold onto its gaseous envelope as tightly, so the atmosphere extends 370 miles (595km) into space.

With Titan's low gravity and dense atmosphere, methane raindrops could grow twice as large as Earth's raindrops. 

'Certainly there are some unknowns, but that's one of the reasons we're doing this kind of daring exploration at the end of the mission.'

On April 22, the spacecraft will transition into its grand finale orbits, taking one last close flyby of Saturn's massive moon Titan.

Then, Titan's gravity will bend Cassini's flight path, causing the orbit to shrink until it passes between the planet and the inner edges of its rings.

As the spacecraft plummets into Saturn's atmosphere on September 15, it will keep its antennas firing toward Earth as long as possible, sending back important data.

'Cassini's grand finale is so much more than a final plunge,' said Spilker.

'It's a thrilling final chapter for our intrepid spacecraft, and so scientifically rich that it was the clear and obvious choice for how to end the mission.'

Speaking to the San Diego Tribune, the couple say that many of the sightings have perfectly normal, Earthly explanations – but some defy explanation.

Unusual apparent anomaly in the sky that is

Also called UFO
180px-PurportedUFO2.jpg

An unidentified flying object, or UFO, in its most general definition, is any apparent anomaly in the sky that is not identifiable as a known object or phenomenon. Culturally, UFOs are associated with claims of visitation by extraterrestrial life or government-related conspiracy theories, and have become popular subjects in fiction. UFOs are often identified after their sighting. Sometimes, however, UFOs cannot be identified because of the low quality of evidence related to their sightings.

Stories of fantastical celestial apparitions have been told since antiquity, but the term "UFO" (or "UFOB") was officially created in 1953 by the United States Air Force (USAF) to serve as a catch-all for all such reports. In its initial definition, the USAF stated that a "UFOB" was "any airborne object which by performance, aerodynamic characteristics, or unusual features, does not conform to any presently known aircraft or missile type, or which cannot be positively identified as a familiar object." Accordingly, the term was initially restricted to that fraction of cases which remained unidentified after investigation, as the USAF was interested in potential national security reasons and/or "technical aspects" (see Air Force Regulation 200-2).

During the late 1940s and through the 1950s, UFOs were often referred to popularly as "flying saucers" or "flying discs". The term UFO became more widespread during the 1950s, at first in technical literature, but later in popular use. UFOs garnered considerable interest during the Cold War, an era associated with a heightened concern for national security. Various studies have concluded that the phenomenon does not represent a threat to national security nor does it contain anything worthy of scientific pursuit (e.g., 1951 Flying Saucer Working Party, 1953 CIA Robertson Panel, USAF Project Blue Book, Condon Committee).

Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity

Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity

Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity explains how space and time are linked for objects that are moving at a consistent speed in a straight line. One of its most famous aspects concerns objects moving at the speed of light. 

Simply put, as an object approaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to go any faster than light travels. This cosmic speed limit has been a subject of much discussion in physics, and even in science fiction, as people think about how to travel across vast distances.

The theory of special relativity was developed by Albert Einstein in 1905, and it forms part of the basis of modern physics. After finishing his work in special relativity, Einstein spent a decade pondering what would happen if one introduced acceleration. This formed the basis of his general relativity, published in 1915.

Before Einstein, astronomers (for the most part) understood the universe in terms of three laws of motion presented by Isaac Newton in 1686. These three laws are: 

(1) Objects in motion (or at rest) remain in motion (or at rest) unless an external force imposes change.

(2) Force is equal to the change in momentum per change of time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

(3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

But there were cracks in the theory for decades before Einstein's arrival on the scene, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1865, Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell demonstrated that light is a wave with both electrical and magnetic components, and established the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). Scientists supposed that the light had to be transmitted through some medium, which they called the ether. (We now know that no transmission medium is required, and that light in space moves in a vacuum.)

Twenty years later, an unexpected result threw this into question. Physicist A.A. Michelson and chemist Edward Morley (both Americans at the time) calculated how Earth's motion through this "ether" affected how the speed of light is measured, and found that the speed of light is the same no matter what Earth's motion is. This led to further musings on light's behavior — and its incongruence with classical mechanics — by Austrian physicist Ernst Mach and French mathematician Henri Poincare.

Einstein began thinking of light's behavior when he was just 16 years old, in 1895. He did a thought experiment, the encyclopedia said, where he rode on one light wave and looked at another light wave moving parallel to him. 

Classical physics should say that the light wave Einstein was looking at would have a relative speed of zero, but this contradicted Maxwell's equations that showed light always has the same speed: 186,000 miles a second. Another problem with relative speeds is they would show that the laws of electromagnetism change depending on your vantage point, which contradicted classical physics as well (which said the laws of physics were the same for everyone.)

This led to Einstein's eventual musings on the theory of special relativity, which he broke down into the everyday example of a person standing beside a moving train, comparing observations with a person inside the train. He imagined the train being at a point in the track equally between two trees. If a bolt of lightning hit both trees at the same time, due to the motion of the train, the person on the train would see the bolt hit one tree before the other tree. But the person beside the track would see simultaneous strikes.

"Einstein concluded that simultaneity is relative; events that are simultaneous for one observer may not be for another," the encyclopedia stated. "This led him to the counterintuitive idea that time flows differently according to the state of motion, and to the conclusion that distance is also relative."

Einstein's work led to some startling results, which today still seem counterintuitive at first glance even though his physics is usually introduced at the high school level.

One of the most famous equations in mathematics comes from special relativity. The equation — E = mc2— means "energy equals mass times the speed of light squared." It shows that energy (E) and mass (m) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. If mass is somehow totally converted into energy, it also shows how much energy would reside inside that mass: quite a lot. (This equation is one of the demonstrations for why an atomic bomb is so powerful, once its mass is converted to an explosion.)

This equation also shows that mass increases with speed, which effectively puts a speed limit on how fast things can move in the universe. Simply put, the speed of light (c) is the fastest velocity at which an object can travel in a vacuum. As an object moves, its mass also increases. Near the speed of light, the mass is so high that it reaches infinity, and would require infinite energy to move it, thus capping how fast an object can move. The only reason light moves at the speed it does is because photons, the quantum particles that make up light, have a mass of zero.

A special situation in the universe of the small, called "quantum entanglement," is confusing because it seems to involve quantum particles interacting with each other at speeds faster than the speed of light. Specifically, measuring the property of one particle can instantly tell you the property of another particle, no matter how far away they are. Much has been written about this phenomenon, which is still not fully explained in terms of Einstein's conclusions. 

Another strange conclusion of Einstein's work comes from the realization that time moves relative to the observer. An object in motion experiences time dilation, meaning that time moves more slowly when one is moving, than when one is standing still. Therefore, a person moving ages more slowly than a person at rest. So yes, when astronaut Scott Kelly spent nearly a year aboard the International Space Station in 2015-16, his twin astronaut brother Mark Kelly aged a little faster than Scott.

This becomes extremely apparent at speeds approaching the speed of light. Imagine a 15-year-old traveling at 99.5 percent the speed of light for five years (from the astronaut's perspective). When the 15-year-old gets back to Earth, according to NASA, he would be only 20 years old. His classmates, however, would be 65 years old.

While this time dilation sounds very theoretical, it does have practical applications as well. If you have a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver in your car, the receiver attempts to find signals from at least three satellites to coordinate your position. The GPS satellites send out timed radio signals that the receiver listens to, triangulating (or more properly speaking, trilaterating) its position based on the travel time of the signals. The challenge is, the atomic clocks on the GPS are moving and would therefore run faster than atomic clocks on Earth, creating timing issues. So, engineers need to make the clocks on a GPS tick slower, according to Richard Pogge, an astronomer at Ohio State University.

The clocks in space tick faster, according to Physics Central, because the GPS satellites are above Earth and experience weaker gravity. So even though the GPS satellites are moving and experience a seven-microsecond slowing every day because of their movement, the result of the weaker gravity causes the clocks to tick about 45 microseconds faster than a ground-based clock. Adding the two together results in the GPS satellite clock ticking faster than a ground-based clock, by about 38 microseconds daily.

As our knowledge of physics has advanced, scientists have run into more counterintuitive situations. One is trying to reconcile general relativity — which describes well what's going on with large objects — with quantum mechanics, which is best used for very small things (such as uranium atom decay). The two fields, which excellently describe their individual fields, are incompatible with one another — which frustrated Einstein and generations of scientists after him.

"Relativity gives nonsensical answers when you try to scale it down to quantum size, eventually descending to infinite values in its description of gravity. Likewise, quantum mechanics runs into serious trouble when you blow it up to cosmic dimensions," an article in The Guardian pointed out in 2015. 

"Quantum fields carry a certain amount of energy, even in seemingly empty space, and the amount of energy gets bigger as the fields get bigger. According to Einstein, energy and mass are equivalent (that's the message of E=mc2), so piling up energy is exactly like piling up mass. Go big enough, and the amount of energy in the quantum fields becomes so great that it creates a black hole that causes the universe to fold in on itself. Oops."

There are several ideas to overcome this (which are beyond the scope of this article), but one approach is to imagine a quantum theory of gravity that would have a massless particle (called the graviton) to generate the force. But as physicist Dave Goldberg pointed out in io9 in 2013, there are problems with that. At the smallest scales, gravitons would have infinite energy density, creating an unimaginably powerful gravity field. More study will be required to see if this is possible.

Hunting the building blocks of alien life

Hunting the building blocks of alien life


A new study examines space-travelling amino acids that could play a role in extraterrestrial life, writes Andrew Masterson.

IMAGES ETC LTD / GETTY

Amino acids extracted from meteorites will soon be tested to see if they are capable of playing a role in extraterrestrial life.

Amino acids – organic compounds based on amine and carboxyl molecules – are the fundamental building blocks of proteins that, in turn, are the basis of all life on Earth. Astrobiologists have long assumed that the most likely types of extraterrestrial life would also arise from a similar amino-acid-protein system.

Extraterrestrial conditions.
CLAIRE MAMMOSER
An extraterrestrial system, however, would not necessarily use the same amino acids – alone or in combination – as those used on this planet.

“They might use amino acids that are known to us but not used to make proteins on Earth,” says Claire Mammoser of Valparaiso University.

With this in mind, Mammoser has recently finished testing 15 amino acids – some used in earthly biology and others not – to see how they might stand up to the rigours of other planetary environments.

With conditions on Mars, Saturn’s moon Enceladus and Jupiter’s moon Europa in mind, Mammoser and colleagues subjected the amino acids to extreme variations in temperature, pH, ultraviolet and gamma radiation. They recorded the resilience, or lack of it, in each sample, as well as its ability to perform key functions, such as bind to liquid water.

“Our main goal with this research is to see if there are structural characteristics of some amino acids that lead to a higher stability in extraterrestrial conditions,” says Mammoser.

The results of the experiments were presented this week at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology annual meeting in Chicago.

The next phase of the research involves conducting the same battery of tests on genuine extraterrestrial amino acids extracted from meteorites. The team will also experiment with novel amino acids created in a number of “origin of life” experiments, some dating back to the 1950s.

What would actually happen if aliens made contact with Earth

What would actually happen if aliens made contact with Earth

Scientists have warned that responding could lead to the destruction of Earth – but we almost certainly would

Andrew Griffin

There isn't much of a plan for what we'd do if we heard from aliens, according to the man probably most likely to make contact with them.

Andrew Siemion, scientific director of the Breakthrough Listen project, has said that he spends just a few minutes each day thinking about how he would announce if the project actually found alien life. Breakthrough Listen is a huge plan funded by Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, which is picking through potential signals sent to Earth to find one that could be a message from aliens.

 “Maybe for five or 10 minutes right before I go to bed, I think about what we might do if we actually found a signal,” he said in an interview with PRI. “It’s very difficult to predict how the world would react to that. But personally, I think it would be a very positive reaction. I think it would be a very unifying moment.”

He also said that he hasn't decided whether or not humanity would send a message back, if it heard one. Stephen Hawking, who has been involved in Mr Milner's projects, has actively warned that responding to any message would probably lead to the annihilation of life on Earth.

“Personally, I think... that’s a question that should involve the entire planet,” he said.

That is in line with most guidance – and there is only guidance, since no rules for announcing alien contact or replying to it have ever been written into international law. The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) has a set of protocols for those involved in the search for extraterrestrial life – which stipulate that anyone who finds a signal should make the world aware, and shouldn't respond to it – but those are only protocols, and nobody could be prosecuted for breaking them.

As such, once a signal is found, it is unlikely that scientists would be able to stop someone with the right equipment from broadcasting a message. That is despite continuing warnings from people like Professor Hawking, and raging debate among scientists and others about whether we should ever actually speak to aliens.

But even if someone did make contact, it's unlikely that anyone alive would actually get to experience any kind of conversation – or see the wiping out of humanity that Professor Hawking warned would come.

The nearest potentially habitable world outside our solar system is Proxima b, which is a mere 4.2 lightyears away but probably doesn't actually contain any life. Even if it did, each message would take 4.2 years to send and the same time to get back – limiting any conversation – and without unimagined technologies, it would take many years for any alien life to actually arrive on Earth.

Some scientists claim to have intercepted messages which could have come from aliens, and Breakthrough Listen called those results "promising" early this year. The project published its initial results last week – but said that it hadn't yet found much.

CoinWeek Ancient Coin Series: Coins, Aliens and UFOs

CoinWeek Ancient Coin Series: Coins, Aliens and UFOs

UFO Aliens on coins

By Mike Markowitz for CoinWeek ....
 

On the wall of his office in the FBI building’s basement, Special Agent Fox Mulder of the TV series The X-Files has a UFO poster that proclaims: I WANT TO BELIEVE.

The sentiment is widely shared, even among numismatists, who are generally a rather skeptical bunch.

The “Alien” Coin

In October 2016, several British tabloids published a photograph of a silver coin of uncertain size with a Greek inscription[1]. The coin portrait depicts a gaunt draped bust resembling a so-called “Grey alien”[2]. Grey aliens are extraterrestrial humanoids associated with contemporary UFO mythology.

The source of the image is credited to the UFO web site mysteriousearth.net, where discovery of the coin is ascribed to a “group of people who worked on the renovation of a house in southern Egypt”[3].

It is clearly a hoax. The lack of any attribution (weight, dimensions, date, image of the reverse, etc.) raises the level of suspicion to an astronomical level.

My first impression is that this was a real coin or medallion extensively tooled in order to turn the portrait of a ruler or deity into the likeness of an alien - like an elaborate “hobo nickel”[4]. Hobo nickels are American five-cent pieces that have been carved and tooled, often with great skill, into novel or startling forms. The craft became popular during the Great Depression (1929 – 1939) among “hobos”, (homeless itinerant workers who had a lot of time on their hands).

The Plot Thickens

Why would anyone create such a fantasy coin? My first thought was that the object was a deliberate forgery intended to deceive gullible collectors, but on reflection it became clear that no serious collector would be taken in by such an obviously tooled fake. Could it have been the creation of UFO enthusiasts, attempting to fabricate evidence for “Ancient Astronaut” theories?

A little research revealed that it's not even a real artifact, but a heavily retouched (“photoshopped”) image of an actual Roman medallion in the famous collection of the Cabinet de Médailles in Paris. The hoax was uncovered by computer scientist Ralf Bülow[5], as credited by author Jason Colavito on his web site[6].

The very rare original medallion depicts Dionysus, god of wine and abandon. The other side (technically the obverse) bears an idealized portrait of Antinous, the beloved young companion of the Roman emperor Hadrian. Antinous, about 18 years of age, drowned in the Nile River in 130 CE. Hadrian was distraught, and had the youth declared a god, raising temples in his honor throughout the Roman East--notably in his birthplace, Claudiopolis or Bithynion in the province of Bithynia (now Bolu, Turkey). This is where the medallion was struck.

Alien UFO Coin Transitions Back to Original Coin

The image of the medallion seems to have been taken from a web site dedicated to Antinous[7], who has become something of a hero for gay history. The blue fabric background is a dead giveaway that the original photograph was a museum display case. A determined image search turned up a sharper image on Wikipedia with the fabric background “shopped” out[8].

The digital trail led to a Brazilian UFO site[9], where I learned (thanks to good Portuguese translation on my web browser) that the hoax image came from DesignCrowd, an Australian graphic design crowdsource web site. In April 2011, DesignCrowd conducted a “Coin of the Realm” contest, challenging graphic designers to create images of celebrities on coins[10].

A user with the handle “Kryptomaniacle” submitted a previously created image just 20 minutes before the contest closed, identifying the portrait as “The historically obscure Grapnok; largely responsible for three of the Seven Wonders of the World.” The submission won third place. Technically “Grapnok” was not a “celebrity” and bent the contest rules, as Kryptomaniacle admitted in a subsequent message.

It was not a hoax; it was a playful, creative joke. The hoax developed when the tabloids took the image and turned it into a clickbait UFO story.

The “UFO” Jetons

To further confuse the situation, the same “Egyptian” find was given as the source of some 17th-century French jetons bearing images of disk-shaped objects floating in the clouds. Jetons are (mostly) copper or brass tokens, typically 20 to 28 mm in size, produced in thousands of different designs across Europe from the 13th to the 17th centuries. They were originally used in accounting and computation (like the beads of an abacus). They also served like poker chips or “play money” in games. They were not coins, and were not struck by official mints, but they are highly collectable and sometimes confused with coins.

A 1648 jeton from the Burgundy region of France appears to show a UFO hovering over a rocky pine forest. But when the image is rotated into the proper orientation (based on the reading of the Latin motto (which translates ”It resisted a few, but was overcome by many”), it shows a shield being held up against a storm of arrows coming down from the clouds. This is a very conventional allegorical image with no extraterrestrial implications.

A more challenging example is a 1656 copper jeton that very clearly shows a disk with a central spindle floating above a landscape. The enigmatic Latin motto Opportunus Adest translates as “It arrives at a fortunate time.” The designs of jetons were frequently reworked and modified, and a white metal copy shows a floating object that is not at all saucer-like, but might be a Baroque-style parade shield.

Burgundian UFO Jeton? Not exactly.The idea of shields that fall from the sky as divine gifts or tokens of protection is very ancient.

According to legend, in the time of Numa Pompilius (second king of Rome, lived 753–673 BCE) a bronze shield, the ancile, fell from heaven[11]. Numa had 11 identical replicas made (to protect the identity of the real one), and established a priesthood--the Salii, or leaping priests--to care for them, and to carry them in procession on special occasions.

This famous story was part of a classical education, and would have been familiar to the early modern Europeans who used jetons. The elaborately fluted steel shields that came into use in the 16th century often bear a remarkable similarity to modern images of UFOs. A spectacular example is a 1594 Dutch jeton[12], showing the hand of God reaching down from heaven to interpose a symbolic shield of divine protection between the Netherlanders and the Spanish Army. There is no historical evidence that any extraterrestrial spacecraft were involved.

4,000 feet up in the air, this long dark object was seen poking through a cloud. It may be a beam or transporter that is sending down supplies into an underwater base and the UFO may be hidden in the clouds above it. These lucky passengers got to see it, even if its only for a few seconds. Its enough to change how you see the world.  Not only are we not alone on Earth, we have never been alone on this planet. Aliens have lived here in secluded areas below the surface for over 10,000 years.

Video states:

If you see some strange things flying in the air while traveling through the airplane, what questions will arise in your mind? A similar incident has happened recently, in fact, whenever a person travels in air, he sees the beautiful scenes of the sky window, but have you ever thought that, if you were in Hawaii If you see something different from the outside of the ship's window, how would you feel? In an airplane from Spain to England, a passenger got to see something similar, which he was able to see. In fact, this passenger had seen a pillar blown between the clouds. Due to which she got a little nervous, but only after she was caught, she caught that scene in her camera soon. Many people say that, in fact, this is the warning light from the oil terminal, so some people say that it can be a scratched in the seat window. This passenger says that on seeing from four thousand feet, this hammer looked like a big pillar of iron.

Mysterious ‘Underwater Wall’ That Circles The ENTIRE Planet Found On Google Earth (Video)

Mysterious ‘Underwater Wall’ That Circles The ENTIRE Planet Found On Google Earth (Video)

A mysterious video posted on YouTube claims there is a supermassive wall located beneath Earth’s oceans, encompassing the entire planet. 

This mysterious wall, found by a YouTube channel called ‘Flat Earth Arabic’ claims the massive wall tens of thousands of miles across beneath the ocean.

In the distant past, UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists have found countless unexplained things on Google Earth. From pyramids to mysterious towers, petroglyphs, and even sunken cities, Google Earth has unleashed the imagination of people around the globe.

Not long ago we reported about a supposed discovered just off the coast of Mexico—12°8’1.5″N, 119°35’26.4″W—where a researcher discovered a  humongous underwater pyramid. Among the many structures that are said to remain hidden beneath the ocean, ‘researchers’ have found things that—supposedly—challenge everything we know about our history.

Last year, a teenager using Google Earth ‘discovered’ what researchers are calling one of the largest, previously unknown ancient cities belonging to the Maya.

In similar ways, researchers all around the globe have been hunting for Pyramids and lost structures that have eluded experts for decades.

In 2012, American researcher Angela Micol discovered ‘Pyramids larger than those found on the Giza Plateau, using satellite images.

But countless different discoveries have been made using Google Earth.

Last year we reported about a complex of structures that stretch for a staggering 76 miles at its furthest points.

The formations found off the coast of Baja California include mysterious tube-like constructions that are roughly 2.4 miles in width. Given the curious shape and distinguishable lines, many believe these are just some of the many underwater structures on our planet.

However, these new claims go beyond anything we’ve probably ever come across.

This wall’s sheer size and its adherence to linearity indicate it is not a natural formation to many. In fact, many people are convinced that due to the numerous discoveries made across the globe which completely contradict history as we have been taught in school, something like this is entirely possible. After all—they say—Earth is millions of years old and we are begging to uncover evidence that suggests many ancient civilizations inhabited Earth in our planet’s long history.

BUT, HOLD ON A SEC, THIS CAN’T BE A WALL, RIGHT?

Zooming in on the provided coordinates you clearly see what seems to be a MASSIVE structure. But who could have erected such a wall? If it really is an artificial structure, how old is it? What was its purpose?

Many disagree and don’t believe we are looking at an actual wall. In fact, there even might be a perfectly reasonable explanation for the enigmatic finding.

What if we are looking at a Google Earth glitch?

Due to the fact that Google Earth uses different images while ‘mapping the planet’, it isn’t uncommon to encounter parts of the map that just didn’t quite match perfectly, resulting in a MASSIVE wall that encompasses the entire planet.

One of the most likely explanations for this ‘impressive find’ is that we are looking at a digital seam in the mapping of the Poles.

SATELLITE IMAGE STITCHING ERROR?

Image stitching or photo stitching is the process of combining multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view to produce a segmented panorama or high-resolution image.

Commonly performed through the use of computer software, most approaches to image stitching require nearly exact overlaps between images and identical exposures to produce seamless results.

Image stitching is widely used in today’s world and was used in the satellite images we are seeing on Google Earth.

BUT AN ENTIRE WALL THAT ENCOMPASSES EARTH?

A lot of things can have played a role in creating such an effect. Illumination, point of view, reference, and many other things may have played a crucial role in this massive error. One of the most likely reasons for the seam appearing could be the background changing between two images for the same continuous foreground.

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO BELLOW:

What are we looking at there? A Supermassive wall as the above video claims? Or just another glitch in the image processing techniques in Google maps?

The sci-fi blockbuster Oblivion gave us a glimpse of life in 2077 on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, after the Earth was devastated by an extraterrestrial attack. But how far from reality is this? Going by Cassini-Huygens’ findings, perhaps it’s not too far! Cassini-Huygens is the first unmanned spacecraft to orbit Saturn, a spectacular ringed planet in our Solar System. Launched on October 15, 1997, it set out to discover the planet and its satellites, up-close. In its 20 long years, the spacecraft has revealed many fascinating facts about Saturn, its rings and moons, including some clues about the possibility of life. 

However, Cassini-Huygens will soon draw a close to its eventful life in September 2017.

In the first seven years of its journey, the spacecraft hovered around Venus, flew past Mars, manoeuvred through the asteroid belt and slid past Jupiter, before finally entering Saturn’s orbit on July 1, 2004. Its last leg started on April 22, 2017. After sailing past Titan, it will criss-cross Saturn’s equator 22 times, and finally sink into Saturn. According to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the agency controlling the spacecraft, its thrusters have run out of fuel, forcing the inevitable death.

Scientists at NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency, started the groundwork on Cassini-Huygens back in 1980s. Named after two Italian astronomers, Giovanni Cassini, who studied Saturn’s rings, and Christiaan Huygens, who discovered Titan, the spacecraft has two parts — the Cassini orbiter that orbits Saturn, and the Huygens probe that landed on Titan. Since Saturn is so far away from the Sun, it is infeasible to harness solar rays as a power source. Hence, Cassini-Huygens is powered with limited-period plutonium radioisotope electric generators that generate electricity like a nuclear power plant. 

While Cassini was in orbit around Saturn, it detached Huygens to descend on Titan on December 25, 2004. Huygens, after falling freely for 20 days, entered the history books as the first robotic probe to land on a satellite of another planet. It captured every detail of Titan's atmosphere and surface, and sent it to NASA’s Deep Space Network until its batteries drained up. 

A closer look
Saturn, with its majestic rings and enigmatic moons, is a jewel in our Solar System. It is the second largest planet after Jupiter and is a gas giant made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. Its diameter is approximately nine times that of the Earth, and it is 95 times more massive than the Earth. It is also the only planet in the Solar System that is less dense than water. Until recently, these were the only facts about Saturn that we knew. Cassini-Huygens has tremendously increased our understanding of the planet. 

With numerous up-close observations, it has pointed out many earth-like features on Saturn. We now know that Saturn has numerous ‘jet streams’ that spew water vapour and heat into the atmosphere, of which the hexagonal jet stream in the north pole is one. Photographs by Cassini have revealed the magnificent symmetry of this stream and has shown this to be a long-lived phenomenon. 

Cassini has captured glimpses of ‘lightnings’ and ‘hurricanes’ in the Saturnian atmosphere, and has studied the seasonal ‘Great White Storm’ — a once-in-30-years phenomenon (one Saturn year equals 30 Earth years). It has also studied Saturn’s auroras, atmospheric composition, the swelling of its outer atmosphere, and the planet’s rate of rotation (one Saturn day equals 10.5 Earth hours), even correcting previous values by six minutes. By the end of its life, Cassini would have orbited Saturn 293 times. 

The system of rings around Saturn is expansive and bright, and hence, easily visible through a telescope.

Named alphabetically based on when they were discovered, the rings consist of numerous icy rocks ranging from the size of a grain of salt to the size of a mountain. With Cassini, scientists now have data about the size, temperature, composition and distribution of Saturn’s rings. It has studied the interactions between rings and moons, and has recorded instances of some moons stealing particles from a ring, or throwing particles into a ring. 

Saturn’s equinox, when sun rays strike the rings on the edges, provides the perfect opportunity to capture intricate details and features of the rings. Cassini has used this occasion to observe previously unknown or poorly understood phenomena like the ‘spokes’ in the rings, and finger-like radial features that rotate with the rings. Images captured during equinox also show that in places, Saturn’s rings are far less smooth than was thought. 

Saturn has 62 known moons and numerous moonlets. Though early missions like Voyager and Pioneer provided a rough sketch of Saturn’s moons, it was poorly understood. Cassini has discovered seven new moons and revealed how each moon is unique and sharply different from the others. With high-resolution, close-up images of some of the moons captured during fly-bys, we now know that most of these moons have cratered surfaces, some contain atmospheres and large amounts of ice, hinting at the possibility of life.

The most remarkable contribution of this spacecraft is the exploration of Titan. When Cassini flew by Titan, it saw beyond the orange haze of methane clouds, and revealed the presence of huge ‘lakes’ and ‘seas’ of liquid hydrocarbons (like methane and ethane). After Cassini landed on Titan, it revealed that Titan actually has a climate system like Earth, with a ‘water cycle’, where liquid hydrocarbons evaporate to form clouds, and later precipitate as rain. There was also evidence of an internal, liquid ocean beneath Titan’s surface, likely composed of water and ammonia. 

Microbial life
Cassini also helped answer the reason behind Enceladus being the brightest object in the Solar System. It showed that beneath the icy crust of Enceladus, there may be an underground ocean, from which water vapour and ice particles frequently erupted. Subsequently, it detected water, carbon dioxide and various hydrocarbons, the presence of a unique chemistry and internal heat - the right composition to support life. This excited scientists looking for life, proclaiming Enceladus to be one of the ‘most likely places in the Solar System to host alien microbial life’. This discovery also gave a peek into how our Earth might have been before life originated.

Cassini has provided us with an intimate understanding of Saturn and has opened up a treasure trove of information. It has solved several intriguing mysteries and answered long standing questions about the Saturnian system. But, can life exist on Saturn? Cassini-Huygens’ vital clues have kept scientists pondering over that, while it begins its final journey to become one among Saturn’s specks of dust.

What's this mystery shape on Google Maps? Shock claims Antactica is UFO BASE for ALIENS

What's this mystery shape on Google Maps? Shock claims Antactica is UFO BASE for ALIENS

UFO hunters have long claimed that aliens have secret bases hidden in the antarctic where they hide away from view.

Conspiracy theorists claim the Nazis experimented with UFO technology secretly in Antarctica.

Now conspiracy theorists claim to have found evidence of an alien base on Smyley Island, off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, on Google maps

They believe this peculiar object, around 500-metres long, near the Antarctic could be an underwater alien base.

Theories about secret bases in the Antarctic have circulated for years – with one conspiracy detailing that the Nazis had secret bases in the southernmost continent which they used to experiment on captured UFOs during WWII.

The new object was spotted on Google maps by website UFO Sightings Hotspot which has revealed its "findings".

The unusual object has been described as a "large body of ice sheered off of the side of the continent".

UFO SIGHTINGS HOTSPOT

Many people have reacted to say that it is just an iceberg, but UFO hunters say its strange shape rules the suggestion out.

The website says it does not fit with the normal shapes of usual categories of iceberg.

It said: "Icebergs can be classified on the basis of their shape.

"The two basic types of iceberg forms are tabular and non-tabular.

The website added: "I'm not an iceberg expert but this object is really peculiar and looks like a vessel disguised as an iceberg.

"It looks out of place."

But UFO sceptic Scott Brando said: "I don't see any mystery, it just looks like ice."

Another bizarre Antarctic claim is that John Kerry visited the alleged site of the secret Nazi UFO base.

"The work that has been completed so far provides a launch pad for deeper and more comprehensive analysis to come.”

He added: “We were able to determine that they were most likely due to radio frequency interference.”

Researchers only began the project in 2015 and remain hopeful they will solve the mystery of alien life.

NASA revealed they are focusing their hunt for life on habitable moons around Jupiter and Saturn.

Meanwhile, UFO hunters continue to claim NASA are covering up aliens spotted from the ISS.

This week, scientists revealed a heat source and food supply that could nourish organisms living under the ice on Saturn's moon Enceladus; a "Star Trek" fan platitude was disproved by math; and three space fliers returned to Earth. Here are our picks for the best space stories of the week.

Enceladus has food for life

Saturn's icy moon Enceladus is looking more and more habitable. New results show that beneath the moon's icy crust, Enceladus likely has hot water vents, like those on Earth. In addition, the subsurface ocean contains molecules that are a common food source for bacteria on Earth. The finding could have major implications for the search for life beyond Earth.

[Full Story: Refit Bomber Aircraft Will Help Scientists Study the Total Solar Eclipse]

Plumes on Europa?

Jupiter's moon Europa may be spraying plumes of water into space, according to new observations by the Hubble Space Telescope. For the second time, Hubble has detected what may be a water-vapor plume spewing skyward from the moon's icy surface. If the finding is confirmed, it could influence the design of NASA's Europa Clipper mission, which is set to launch in the 2020s.

There's an adage about "Star Trek" episodes that says crewmembers in red shirts are more likely to die. That's not so, according to a mathematician who applied his skills to analyzing various aspects of the show, such as how the mating habits of Vulcans are similar to those of cicadas. In other Trek-related news this week, winners were announced for a contest to make a portable medical diagnostic tool like the tricorder from the "Star Trek" universe, and a line of "Star Trek"-themed fragrances was announced.

Jupiter's great cold spot

Looking back through 15 years of observations, scientists have identified a massive cold spot that forms in Jupiter's atmosphere adjacent to the planet's vibrant auroras.

Space travelers return to Earth

One NASA astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts safely returned to Earth early Monday (April 10). The passengers flew home aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule and landed in Kazakhstan, after spending 173 days in space. Following the departure of NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough from the station, Peggy Whitson, the first female astronaut ever to command the station, took up the post of commander once again.

Tiny wooden figurines have stood upright "weaving" at appropriately sized looms for more than 2,100 years in a Chinese tomb containing the remains of a middle-age woman, a new study finds.

It's unclear when and where the first looms were developed, but archaeologists have found ancient looms parts at a variety of sites. [Read more about the tiny looms.]

Showing a bit of creativity on your online dating profile could make you appear more attractive to potential dates, a new study suggests.

The findings suggest that "creativity can enhance your attractiveness both as a potential date and as a potential social partner [or] same-sex friend," said study author Christopher Watkins, a lecturer in psychology at Abertay University in Scotland. [Read more about the connection.]

Renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson urges Americans to become more scientifically literate in a short video he posted yesterday (April 19) on his Facebook page.

Tyson, who is the director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City, the author of several books and a star of TV and radio, has been speaking for years against the troubling decline of basic science knowledge in America. [Read more about the effects of science denial.]

A newly discovered planet around a distant star may jump to the top of the list of places where scientists should go looking for alien life.

Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered orbiting stars other than the sun in the last 20 years. Many of those planets meet some of the basic requirements for hosting life as we know it — they're rocky like Earth (rather than gaseous, like Saturn or Jupiter) and they sit in the habitable zone of their parent star. LHS 1140b meets those initial requirements. [Read more about the fascination.]

Several mummies and more than 1,000 figurines have been discovered at an ancient cemetery located at Luxor in Egypt, archaeologists reported.

Researchers discovered a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers containing the remains of mummies and assorted human remains, as shown in photos released by the ministry. Additionally, a "collection of ushabti figurines carved in faience, terracotta and wood was also unearthed," in the tomb complex, the ministry said in the statement. [Read more about the mummies.]

Their names were "The Ghost" and "The Darkness," and 119 years ago, these two massive, maneless, man-eating lions hunted railway workers in the Tsavo region of Kenya. During a nine-month period in 1898, the lions killed at least 35 people and as many as 135, according to different accounts. And the question of why the lions developed a taste for human flesh remained a subject of much speculation.

To unravel the century-old mystery, the study authors examined evidence of the lions' behavior preserved in their teeth. Microscopic wear patterns can tell scientists about an animal's eating habits — particularly during the last weeks of life — and the Tsavo lions' teeth didn't show signs of the wear and tear associated with crunching big, heavy bones, the scientists wrote in the study.

Visitors to a New Zealand park recently found the grass blanketed not by flowers, but by silk webs produced by what appeared to be thousands of tiny spiders.

Initially, Maris thought the silk nets were unoccupied, she said. But as she and her family explored the webs' outer perimeter, they noticed that there were "little black things on top" — spiders, numbering in the thousands. [Read more about nature's odd blanket.]

Scientists have created a new superfluid that has a negative mass, meaning that if it's pushed to the right, it accelerates to the left and vice versa.

The newly created material with negative mass is a type of Bose-Einstein condensate, in which individual atoms move as one object, the scientists wrote in the new study. [Read more about bizarre superfluid.]

Just over half of American adults have tried marijuana, and 14 percent use it regularly, a new survey finds.

The numbers are similar to those reported by the polling agency Gallup, which has found that although only 4 percent of Americans said they had tried pot in 1969, the number rose to 44 percent by 2015. [Read more about pot statistics.]

UFO Photographed Over San Carlos, Venezuela

UFO Photographed Over San Carlos, Venezuela

UFO Photographed Over San Carlos, Venezuela 12-20-2016

By Héctor Escalante

 A luminous body, elongated and light in color, was photographed on December 15 while moving over the skies of the city of San Carlos, Cojedes State, in central Venezuela.
After six in the afternoon, William Escobar was in the garage of his mother's house, when he noticed the presence of a planet shining in the sky, so he took his cell phone to capture the extraordinary scene with the camera .

"I'm fond of astronomy, and I wanted to take the photo of Venus that looked pretty nice," he said. But as he held up the cell phone pointing up at the sky, a reflection in the distance attracted his attention. "I know it was something, because with my eyes off the phone I saw something happen very fast," he warns, but I was still doubtful. 

Shortly afterwards, as he reviewed the images, William found a response to his uneasiness, discovering surprisingly that the opaque flash, almost unnoticed, had been recorded on his mobile device, and that it was not a simple reflection, it had a defined shape.

Vreemde structuren ontdekt op de maan. Toont deze studie aan dat dit het werk van buitenaardsen is?

Vreemde structuren ontdekt op de maan. Toont deze studie aan dat dit het werk van buitenaardsen is?

Leden van de Society for Planetary SETI Research (SPSR) hebben in het Journal of Space Exploration een studie gepubliceerd over opmerkelijke objecten in een krater op de achterkant van de maan.

Deze objecten bevinden zich in de krater Paracelsus C en zijn mogelijk kunstmatig van aard, wat zou betekenen dat ze daar door buitenaardsen zijn geplaatst.

Er zijn al veel boeken geschreven over bouwwerken op de maan, denk aan Somebody Else is on the Moon (George Leonard) en We Discovered Alien Bases on the Moon (Fred Steckling).

Omvang

Het nieuwe onderzoek heeft betrekking op foto’s die vanuit Apollo 15 en de Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter zijn gemaakt van raadselachtige objecten in de krater.

Op het eerste gezicht lijkt het te gaan om ‘muren’ of ‘torens’ op het maanoppervlak.

De structuren zien er heel anders uit dan de rotsen die in de krater worden gevonden, aldus de onderzoekers.

Ze merken op dat het met behulp van computersoftware mogelijk moet zijn om de omvang van de objecten te schatten.

Interessante antwoorden

De onderzoekers vragen zich af of de objecten kunstmatig zijn. En zo ja, wanneer zijn ze gemaakt en door wie?

Ze wijzen erop dat een maanrover zeer interessante antwoorden zou kunnen geven op deze vragen.

“Wij zijn van mening dat dit gebied in Paracelsus C in de toekomst nader bestudeerd zou moeten worden vanuit de ruimte en met behulp van maanrovers,” concluderen ze.

Uitgegraven

Eén van de onderzoekers, Mark Carlotto, toont in onderstaande video enkele van de vreemde structuren in de krater.

De bodem rond de structuren is niet vlak, maar lijkt te zijn uitgegraven door een onbekend mechanisme, natuurlijk of kunstmatig.

Date of sighting: Oct 16, 2016 Reported today
Location of sighting: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Source: MUFON #83313

This UFO was seen over the Boston area back in October, but was reported today. It had a typical metallic color from what the eyewitness states and as you can see from the enlarged focused close up below, it is a rectangle shape. Remember, alien craft can be any size, shape and weight. You can make it out of 24K solid gold, because with the element 115 and the alien magnetic propulsion system...physics goes out the window, or should I say, across the sky. To learn more about such propulsion, just go to youtube and search, "Bob Lazar, Area S4, Interview."

Scott C. Waring
 
Eyewitness states: 
While driving north on Rte 93 heading towards Boston Massachusetts,just beyond the LNG gas tanks in Dorchester, I looked up at one of the skyscrapers And noticed a large square/rectangular object hovering off to the left of it Over Rte 93. It was approximately 9:30am, and traffic was moving slowly. I had witnessed something similar in 2013, in the same general area, and knew I had to try to get a picture of it this time. It appeared to be pewter colored and dull. It seemed to hover for a bit then slowly start to move towards the east. I eventually lost sight of it when I entered the tip O'Neal tunnel.
