Former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao talks about life in space, aliens, and a new perspective

Former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao talks about life in space, aliens, and a new perspective

Former International Space Station commander and NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao visited Wollongong yesterday to share his experiences in zero gravity, discuss whether aliens exist, and show how the Illawarra is helping protect astronauts from radiation damage in space.

Dr Chiao is the kind of person you could spend an entire day talking to and still not have all your fascinating questions about space answered.

Thankfully, the American astronaut is happy to patiently and enthusiastically talk about life in orbit.

A day on the space station

As commander of the International Space Station (ISS), Dr Chiao orbited the Earth every 90 minutes while travelling more than 28,000 kilometres an hour.

That brings around a sunset or sunrise every 45 minutes.

"Your schedule is set for you down to the minute," he said.

"You check off what you accomplish each day and then you sleep and wake up and your schedule has been created for you — it's there on the computer, so you're kept busy.

"Even if you've got a great view of the Earth, you can feel a bit cooped up, and the ISS is big but it's not that big."

Dr Chiao said the launch into space took about nine minutes before you felt the weightlessness of zero gravity, and completing a spacewalk was a "fantastic feeling".

"You're very well trained for the spacewalk, so when you go outside it's not like the movies," he said.

A space shuttle docks with the International Space Station, with a view of an ocean on Earth below.

"It's very physical. You're working against the pressures of the suit and you're aware of where you're putting your tethers.

"It's surreal and like a dream. You can't believe you're out there in a suit doing this kind of work.

"But at the same time you're well trained, but if you rest for a minute and look where you are, you think 'Is this real?'"

New perspective from space

International Space Station facts

  • First module launched November 20, 1998
  • The ISS travels an equivalent distance to the moon and back in about a day
  • The ISS weighs 420,000kg
  • The ISS orbits Earth every 90 minutes and the crew sees 16 sunrises and sunsets per day
  • Inside the ISS are two bathrooms, a gym and a 360-degree view window
Source: NASA

The 'overview effect' is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts during space flight while viewing Earth.

It is a perspective you can see if you log on to the ISS's live stream, but very few people get to experience it in person.

"I don't think anyone flies into space without some form of fundamental introspection about what life is about," Dr Chiao said.

"For me, I was surprised how much more beautiful it is than what the pictures show.

"It looks very peaceful and nice, and intellectually I knew there was war, famine and conflict down there and that dichotomy was hard to reconcile.

"It makes you stop and think, and it gave me that perspective of what's important in life."

Is there other life out there?

Dr Chiao said recent discoveries of water on one of Saturn's moons, and amino acids on comets, left him in no doubt about extra-terrestrial life.

"To find this kind of evidence of life in our own backyard means to me the idea there's other life in the universe is pretty much a given," he said.

"I think there's all kinds of life out there, including intelligent life, but the reason we haven't found each other is because of vast distances."

Dr Chiao said given how big the universe was and how another planet could be millions of light years away, it was not a surprise we had not found extra-terrestrial life.

How Wollongong research benefits astronauts

Dr Chiao visited to speak at the University of Wollongong about his experiences in space, where NASA is headed, and how research at the university into radiation directly benefits astronauts.

"The biggest technical challenge in flying people longer and further from the Earth is biomedical," he said.

"A lot of things happen, including radiation, and when we venture beyond the Earth's magnetosphere, we're no longer protected from radiation from the sun.

"That's why the university's work here is so important — we need to understand the radiation environment and have effective detectors that can tell us what we're being exposed to and how to counteract what we're being exposed to."

The detectors used on board aircraft such as the ISS have a practical application in treating cancer patients.

"Space provides a unique kind of environment that's almost impossible to create on Earth," University of Wollongong researcher Stuart George said.

"The techniques we develop with these particle detectors are directly applicable to the measurements you'd do for ion therapy here on Earth.

"We've had these in a proton therapy centre and done measurements that are medically relevant.

"They will be used by treatment planners and physicists to better understand how to control their beams and control where they're putting their radiation inside people and their tumours."

WATCH: Deputy sheriff describes seeing 'dead aliens in flying saucer at Roswell UFO crash

WATCH: Deputy sheriff describes seeing 'dead aliens in flying saucer at Roswell UFO crash

A VIDEO showing a former deputy sheriff claim to have seen a "flying saucer" and "dead aliens" at an alleged UFO crash site in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, has been released.

Last month Express.co.uk exclusively revealed how the testimony of the late Charles H Forgus, former deputy sheriff of Big Springs in Howard County, Texas, was the latest person to claim to have witnessed the legendary UFO crash in the desert around the town nearly 70 years ago.

Roswell has been at the heart of the UFO scene since July 1947 after the military sensationally announced in a press release it had found the remains of a crashed flying saucer in the desert nearby.

But the following day the military retracted the statement, claiming it was in fact a damaged US Air Force air balloon.

Witnesses later came forward to say there had been alien bodies within the "crashed craft", which along with the wreckage were then taken to a mysterious top-secret military base.

Roswell-UFO

GETTY*Flying Disk Press

The interview was carried out in the 1990s, but has only now been made public.

There have been claims and counter claims, including that the bodies were crash test dummies and it had been a top-secret balloon spying on the Russians.

All the confusion means it is one of the world's biggest conspiracy theories to this day.

Mr Forgus' account is published for the first time in the new book UFOs Today: 70 Years of Lies, Disinformation and Government Cover-Up by Dr Irena Scott, which was published by Flying Disk Press on June 1.

Now the original video of his interview, aged 81, in 1999, has been released to accompany the book.

The account appears to have remained buried until now, due to copyright issues according to Flying Disk Press publisher Phillip Mantle.

RELATED ARTICLES

Mr Forgus claimed to have been driving with an unnamed sheriff from Texas to Roswell to pick up a prisoner on the night of the alleged crash, when details of the incident "came over on the police radio".

He was interviewed in 1999 by Los Angeles private investigator Deanna Bever, who was looking into Roswell, and another interviewer whose initials are only given as LR.

Dr Scott said in the book: "Unlike other eyewitness accounts where few people actually reported seeing bodies, this witness reported seeing the craft and the bodies in a crash that appeared significant enough to report."

He told of a perfectly round saucer that reportedly crashed into a canyon, after it appeared to have hit a "side wall".

Dr Scott wrote: "He thought there are about four beings, around five feet tall with large eyes and feet like ours. 

"Their skin was brownish and he didn’t see any blood. Their bodies were being picked up by a lift attached to a crane and swung into a truck.

"He said there were about three or four hundred military people there; he didn’t know from which branch but said they were not Air Force. 

"He and the sheriff watched for a while and the military people saw them.

"Later they were told to leave. 

"He said that a government person came around to talk to him later, but he told him to shut up and go away."

The book has been written using portions of a rough transcript of the video tape of the interview.

Mr Forgus said: "What I seen of him looked just like the one we see on television, with big eyes. 

"There was a big round thing in the canyon. It was about 100 feet across. 

"They put that on a truck and hauled it away. They wouldn’t let us get very close to it either."

The testimony has been met with doubters already.

In a blog post on website theufochronicles.com Roswell UFO expert Kevin Randle said: "Though Forgus didn’t know which branch of the service they were in, the US Army on their fatigues should have been a big clue.

"He was asked if there were lights on the craft and he said, 'No, they went out when it banged into the wall in the creek’.

"Though I’m not sure how he would have known that the lights went out when it hit because he wasn’t there."

He said the crash site location described by Mr Forgus matched that given by the late Frank Kaufmann, whose account "has already been discredited”.

Mr Randle wrote: "He said he could see the bodies, though he didn’t have a good description of them. 

RELATED ARTICLES

"He talked about the big eyes. He said, ‘their eyes looked like the ones we see on television and the pictures of them’.

"But he was so far away, according to him, it is difficult to believe that he would have seen the eyes. 

"The real clue is about having seen alien creatures on television. 

"He just picked the most popular version of the aliens to describe."

Mr Randle claimed the roads surrounding the crash site would have been blocked so they would have been unable to even get there.

He added: "The other part of the story that fails is that they heard about this on the police radio, which seems unlikely, but even if that had been true, they wouldn’t have heard instructions on how to find the place. 

"You can’t see it from the main roads, and the gravel and dirt roads into the area are quite rough and quite confusing. 

"If you don’t know where you are going, you’d get lost. Without someone leading them in, or precise directions which wouldn’t have been broadcast, they would never have found their way to the crash site."

Asked what the author and Mr Mantle thought of the testimony, Mr Mantle said: "We remain open minded on the testimony documented bu Deputy Sheriff Forgus.

"We hope that by releasing this information now that others may be able to shed more light on it one way or the other."

This Ghostly Bubble Nebula Is the Product of a Truly Massive Star

This Ghostly Bubble Nebula Is the Product of a Truly Massive Star

There’s a spectacular bubble of gas forming around a massive star about 7,000 light-years from Earth.

Called the Bubble Nebula, the cosmic spectacle is powered by a star that’s 45 times more massive than our sun and thousands of times hotter. That heat pushes stellar winds of ionized gas outward, forming the bubble and the larger nest of clouds surrounding it.

Discovered in 1787, it can be seen like never before in this video based on composite imagery from the Hubble Telescope (with oxygen colored blue, hydrogen colored green, and nitrogen colored red).

Emission nebula like the Bubble, are often referred to as a “stellar nurseries” because the heat, ionized gas, and cosmic dust work together to form new stars in the region. This makes structures like the Bubble an important area of study for scientists, as learning how young stars form can help us understand how our sun formed and, ultimately, our entire solar system.

SpaceX Just Made History by Reusing a Dragon Capsule

SpaceX Just Made History by Reusing a Dragon Capsule

SpaceX made history on Monday when it successfully reused a Dragon pressure vessel for the first time. Mission CRS-11, the second Dragon launch of the year, was captured by the International Space Station at 8.52 a.m. Central time, ahead of schedule. The success of the mission is a major step toward the company’s main goals of reducing flight costs and preparing for a manned mission to Mars.

“These people have supplied us with a vast amount of science and supplies, really fuel for the engine of innovation we get to call home, the International Space Station,” Jack Fisher, a NASA astronaut serving on Expedition 52, said during the live webcast.

The vessel successfully lifted off on a Falcon 9 rocket Saturday evening, taking off from launch complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, the 100th launch from the pad. The launch sent the vessel on a 41-hour voyage to the space station. Initially, the launch was scheduled to take place on Thursday, but unforeseen lightning meant the crew pulled the plug just 25 minutes before liftoff.

CRS-11, named because it’s the eleventh commercial resupply services mission, is an important milestone in the company’s history. Reusing a vessel is not as simple as strapping it back to a rocket and sending it up again: SpaceX has faced several hurdles on this journey, including working out how to stop salty seawater from ruining the capsule when it returns to Earth and lands in the ocean.

The mission’s success demonstrates SpaceX’s ability to reuse capsules, and bodes well for the ongoing development of the upcoming Dragon 2 craft. This future vessel will transport humans to and from the space station, and will represent the next step toward CEO Elon Musk’s ultimate goal of manned flights to Mars and the establishment of a human colony.

The capsule was first used on the CRS-4 mission back in September 2014. That mission brought the first 3D printer into space, and was just the fourth time SpaceX was contracted onto a resupply mission with NASA.

This time around, the Dragon is carrying nearly 6,000 pounds of scientific equipment, supplies and hardware. The equipment will be used by both Expedition 52 and 53 Among the cargo is NASA’s NICER, the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer. This is a finely-tuned spectrometer capable of reading both the thermal and non-thermal emissions sent out from neutron stars.

The Hottest Planet Ever Was Just Found, and is Likely Evaporating

KELT-9b orbiting KELT-9

The Hottest Planet Ever Was Just Found, and is Likely Evaporating

Astronomers are baffled by the discovery of an extremely hot exoplanet that in many ways isn’t like a planet at all. The 300 million-year-old “KELT-9b” is young in space terms, but may not be around for long.

At 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit, KELT-9b is hotter than any known planet and most stars. But that’s nothing compared to the 17,900-degree heat of its host star, which is so hot that scientists are pretty sure it’s evaporating KELT-9b.

It “radiates so much ultraviolet radiation that it may completely evaporate the planet,” Keivan Stassun, director of a study on KELT-9b published in Nature on Monday, told NASA.

KELT-9b may escape that fate, but only because the star — which is growing, and will eventually become a red giant — will probably engulf it first. “The long-term prospects for life, or real estate for that matter, on KELT-9b are not looking good,” Stassun says.

That’s too bad, because KELT-9b is pretty amazing; in addition to its star-like heat, it may trail evaporating planetary material behind it like a comet. KELT-9b does meet the qualifications for being a planet, but it’s an oddity.

KELT-9b also has an unusually large radius for its mass, probably because radiation from the host star has caused its atmosphere to balloon outward. Unlike any planet in our solar system, its orbit runs perpendicular to the star’s rotation.

KELT-9b Star NASA An artist imagines KELT-9b orbiting its star.

KELT-9b is tidally locked to its star, meaning that it only ever faces the star on one side, like how we only see one side of the moon from Earth. This makes for an uneven heat distribution: The orange dayside is so hot that the hydrogen and helium atoms can’t even bond together to form molecules, while the dark red nightside (which experiences constant darkness) may allow molecules to at least temporarily form. “The transition from the dayside to the nightside might be very interesting,” the study’s coauthor Scott Gaudi tells Inverse, “with molecules reforming as gas moves from the hotter dayside to the cooler nightside.”

The planet is way too hot to be habitable by humans, even if it weren’t doomed. Still, it’s an important discovery; Gaudi told CNN that a discussion about colonizing other planets “should take place in the context of understanding how planetary systems form,” and scientists don’t yet understand how this incredibly hot system was created.

KELT-9b “demonstrates that giant planets can indeed form around very massive stars, and that these planets can migrate to very close in orbits relatively early in the life of those stars,” Gaudi tells Inverse.

Hopefully they’ll soon gain more insight into KELT-9b’s quirks. Until then, this exoplanet weirdo will be whirling up there on the road less traveled by, like a darn individual.

There's a 5% Chance A.I. Leads to Extinction-Level Disaster

It could happen.

There's a 5% Chance A.I. Leads to Extinction-Level Disaster

Time to start paying attention?

Experts are generally optimistic about the potential of A.I. but also aware of major risks, according to a big new survey.

Precisely 352 experts (who recently published at A.I. conferences) were asked to predict the future, in a paper from researchers at Yale, Oxford, and the Future of Life Institute. While estimates varied greatly, the median result points to a 50 percent likelihood of “high-level machine intelligence,” where unaided machines will accomplish every task better and more cheaply than human workers, by 2061.

As for what effect HLMI will have on humanity, researchers said on average there was a 20 percent chance it could be extremely good; 25 percent it would be on-balance good; 20 percent it would be neutral; 10 percent it would be bad; and — here’s the scary part — 5 percent it would be extremely bad (e.g., human extinction).

Facing this risk, 48 percent of respondents said society should devote more resources to research on minimizing the risks of A.I. (only 12 percent said we should deprioritize this research).

Whatever happens, it will likely happen fast: 65 percent of respondents said progress was happening faster in the second half of their careers than the first.

Elon Musk and others warn that military drones could lead to an autonomous arms race. Elon Musk and others warn that military drones could lead to an autonomous arms race.

While the respondents didn’t explain how A.I. could go horribly wrong, we can look to warnings from the likes of Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. One worry those two cited was an arms race in autonomous weapons, which “require no costly or hard-to-obtain raw materials [and so would] become ubiquitous and cheap for all significant military powers to produce … [and would inevitably] appear on the black market and in the hands of terrorists, dictators looking to better control their populace, warlords wishing to perpetrate ethnic cleansing, etc.”

Musk offered A.I. risk as a major reason to boost human intelligence through neural links: “A.I. that is much smarter than the smartest human on Earth — I think that is a dangerous situation.”

But, hey, don’t forget about all the cool things A.I. will do in the coming years. And remember, there’s a 20% chance this will all turn out extremely well.

Reptilian Aliens Helped Nazi Germany Build Secret Space Program in Antarctica

Reptilian Aliens Helped Nazi Germany Build Secret Space Program in Antarctica

In the run up to World War II, German secret societies and the Nazi SS were guided to three large caverns in Antarctica by Reptilian extraterrestrials, according to former U.S. Navy intelligence operative William Tompkins. In his latest ExoNews TV interview, released today, Tompkins describes how the Reptilians helped the Germans/Nazis build underground bases in remote Antarctic caverns, which were located next to even larger caverns controlled by the Reptilians.

According to Tompkins, the U.S. Navy learned of the existence of these secret Antarctic bases from their spies embedded in Nazi Germany, who found that the Nazis/Germans used these remote bases to launch space missions to the Moon, other planets in our solar system, and, most remarkably, to distant interstellar locations.

Tompkins says that the Germans began moving equipment and supplies to Antarctica as early as 1913, which coincides historically with the Second German Antarctic Expedition from 1911-1913. This period also coincides with the increasing role of German secret societies in exploring remote global locations for occult knowledge.

The movement of equipment accelerated in the lead up to World War II. In his interview, Tompkins cites 1934 as the beginning of this acceleration, even though historical records point to 1938 as the launch of the Third German Antarctic Expedition:

The move from Germany to Antarctica was in operation from 1934 way before the war started. In fact some of the stuff went down in 1913.

In last week’s ExoNews TV episode, Tompkins revealed that secret agreements had been reached between Hitler’s regime and Draconian Reptilians. In this week’s episode he discussed one of the major elements of this agreement:

Large portions of equipment were sent down there. But right next to them were three tremendous size caverns which the Reptilians had. Not Grays, but Reptilians. Germany got two more, about a tenth the size of the big Reptilians [cavern]. They were able to … [go] down, usually by submarine. They built these flat submarines, these regular class, so they could ship all this stuff down.

Tompkins remarkable information is consistent with Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz who referred on three occasions to an impregnable fortress being built for Hitler in a remote location using Germany’s advanced submarine fleet. In 1943, Donitz is reported to have stated: 

… the German submarine fleet is proud of having built for the Führer, in another part of the world, a Shangri-La on land, an impregnable fortress.

The second occasion was in 1944, when he revealed how plans were in place to relocate Hitler so he could launch a new effort for his thousand-year Reich:

The German Navy will have to accomplish a great task in the future. The German Navy knows all hiding places in the oceans and therefore it will be very easy to bring the Führer to a safe place should the necessity arise and in which he will have the opportunity to work out his final plans.

Finally, Dönitz’s remarks at his Nuremberg war crime trial clearly suggest that it was Antarctica where Germany’s most advanced technologies had been secretly relocated by his submarine fleet. At the trial he boasted of “an invulnerable fortress, a paradise-like oasis in the middle of eternal ice.”

Donitz’s remarks were made plausible in 1966 by cartographer and artist Heinrich C. Berann for the National Geographic Society. In Berann’s depiction of an ice-free Antarctica, he shows underwater passageways that run throughout the Antarctic continent. This provided a plausible way in which submarines could travel under the ice for considerable distances to Nazi Germany’s “invulnerable fortress”.

Ice Free Antarctica

Donitz’s claims are further supported by documents provided by an alleged German submarine crewman after the war, which described the instructions for U-Boat Captains to reach the Antarctica bases through the hidden passage ways. Below is an image of the document with the translated instructions.

In today’s interview, Tompkins describes simultaneous flying saucer programs that had been developed by the Nazis. One was in Germany, while the second was in Antarctica. In his response to a question about where Germany’s antigravity craft were being built, he said:

They built the prototypes in Germany. They built pre-protype, something which is ready for production, in Antarctica. They put this stuff in production in the countries all over Germany [Occupied Europe], and they continued to build similar vehicles in Antarctica.

Tompkins then shares one of the most astonishing secrets gained by the Navy spies embedded in Germany. With the help of the Reptilians, the Nazi’s Antarctica program had successfully launched manned missions to the Moon, planets, and even other star systems.

Now the question was asked whether did we ever get to the Moon? You see it was in some way, it was well known that the Germans had a number of vehicles that flew out and came back. One of the first ones, they got into trouble, they crashed and the whole group died. But that was almost all coming from Antarctica. Way before, four years before, the war ended, they were always moving all of this stuff out. And so the flights, almost everything came from Antarctica with the same people. … I don’t know if it was true or not, but it was stated by some of those fellows [Navy spies] that they had gone to other stars and come back.

Tompkins remarkable claims corroborate the testimony of secret space program whistleblower, Corey Goode, who claims that from 1987 to 2007, he had access to smart glass pads, which described the successful Nazi space program that operated out of Antarctica.

Goode said the Antarctica program was controlled by German secret societies rather than the Nazi SS:

As explained, the Nazi remnants that were made up mostly of Secret Societies that created a “Break Away Civilization,” kept the most advanced technology secret from even their highest Military and Political leaders, setup enclaves in South America and Antarctica. The locations in Antarctica were some ancient civilization ruins that had remained occupied by certain groups in thermal area’s that cause area’s similar to lava tubes and domes under the glaciers.

Goode goes on to corroborate Tompkins claim that the Nazi bases were built adjacent to caverns controlled by another advanced civilization, the Reptilians:

There was an underground and under glacier city complex that was already occupied and setup in a couple of locations and the NAZI’s renovated an area that was mostly crushed above the surface but had plenty of room under the domed ice, thermal underground energy and caverns (accessible via U-boat under the ice flows and openings that made it ideal for a hidden multipurpose base) that were perfect for them to secretly build out during the entire Second World War

What makes Tompkins claims difficult to dismiss are documents he has published in his book,Selected by Extraterrestrials, supporting his main claim that he participated in a covert Navy Intelligence program that disseminated Germany’s advanced aerospace secrets to selected U.S. aerospace companies, think tanks and universities.

Furthermore, documents, and statements by Admiral Donitz, support Tompkins claims that Nazi Germany had succeeded in locating and building underground facilities under the Antarctic continent. The long route under the Antarctic ice sheets, which the German submarine fleet allegedly took to reach these hidden caverns, gives credence to Tompkins claims that Reptilian extraterrestrials had provided the Nazis with the information necessary to locate the hidden Antarctic caverns, and the under-ice passage ways to reach them.

In the next episode of ExoNews TV, we will hear from William Tompkins how the Nazis used slave labor in their hidden Antarctic bases, and that the Italian government had also developed a flying saucer program headed by the famous inventor, Gugliemo Marconi that was secretly operating out of hidden South American locations.

AMATEUR ASTRONOMERS JUST FOUND OBJECTS IN SPACE THAT COULD LEAD TO THE BIGGEST DISCOVERY OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM IN OVER 150 YEARS

60,000 people recently got together to make history. Their goal? Observe planet nine for the first time. Planet Nine is a theoretical planet that is thought to exist beyond Pluto, but no one has seen it yet. Participants worked using data from Siding Spring’s SkyMapper telescope. Brad Tucker had has the leading role, by ANU Researcher, and team agreed with one of the four possibilities regardless of whether. The scientific value of the project was certainly verified.

Other researchers agree with the ANU team’s sentiment: astronomer Mike Brown of Caltech tweeted his support for the project.For one, it is probably 1,000 times fainter than Pluto. The task for researchers, then, is to sift through old data and make new observations. Learn more in the video below:

‘THIS alien invasion is even STRANGER than Roswell’ claims UFO hunter

‘THIS alien invasion is even STRANGER than Roswell’ claims UFO hunter

A POPULAR UFO hunter has lifted the lid on an eerie incident he claims is “even stranger than Roswell” in a new video posted online.

By George Mills 

In 1947, a mysterious object crashed into the desert near the town of Roswell, New Mexico, US.

Military chiefs from a nearby airbase insisted the UFO was simply a downed weather balloon – but many doubted the official version of events, claiming it to be an extra-terrestrial spacecraft.

More than 50 years later, the incident remains a mystery to many despite an official US military report claiming the object was linked to a top-secret atomic espionage project called Project Mogul.

Some sceptics believe the crash and resulting military furore covered up Earth’s first visitation by a species from outer space.

And now, UFO enthusiast Tyler Glockner claims to have lifted the lid on a similarly disturbing incident that happened just a month prior to Roswell that has left viewers shocked.

“[The crash] has been just as hotly-debated and surrounded in strangeness [as Roswell],” Glockner explains in the short YouTube clip.

His video goes on to recall the story of the so-called “Maury Island incident”, in which two men – Fred Crisman and Harold Dahl – reported falling black debris from the skies above Maury Island in Puget Sound, Washington, US.

MYSTERY: Two witnesses claimed the object disintegrated in the Earth's atmosphere

Glockner continued: “It was said that the incident involved one or more UFOs that had either dropped something or had crashed and disintegrated.

“The fragments of which damaged Crisman’s boat, killing a dog and – according to some versions – hurt someone.”

Accounts of the bizarre incident remain highly controversial, however, after the pair were said to have admitted the story was a hoax to a local journalist some years later.

Icy Mystery Meteor Falls from Cloudless Sky in Florida

Icy Mystery Meteor Falls from Cloudless Sky in Florida

It’s always Florida, isn’t it? Over the weekend, a mysterious ball of ice reportedly fell from a completely clear sky in Cape Coral, Florida, landing in a field in a suburban neighborhood. While that in itself isn’t particularly surprising in the age of ubiquitous air travel, the ice does not appear to have fallen from any aircraft and instead is speculated to be a case of a rare and mysterious weather phenomenon.

The ice conveniently fell in a field as opposed to through someone’s windshield.

According to local news affiliate NBC 2, a Florida man heard the meteorite before seeing it. In a video aired by NBC 2, the man can be heard saying the object buzzing like a drone as it passed overhead. Looking up, he then saw the icy projectile crash to Earth somewhere in his neighborhood. He grabbed his wife, identified as Tiffany Laymance and ran to find the fallen ice lying in a small crater. Laymance, who discovered the icy meteorite, says the ice appeared to be clear, ruling out frozen airplane sewage:

We smelled it. And there was no smell whatsoever to it so we’re like okay, so we started Googling about it to try and figure out what it could be. I don’t do the aliens or anything like that so… just crazy ice.

It just so turns out that this particular kind of “crazy ice” likely has a bizarre meteorological explanation, and it doesn’t involve ‘the aliens’ for once.

Lets get one thing clear: Tiffany Laymance doesn’t “do the aliens or anything like that.”

Under certain atmospheric conditions, large clusters of ice similar to hailstones can form at high altitudes. When they fall to Earth, they are known as megacryometeors or atmospheric ice conglomerations. It is still not well known what causes them to form, and they often fall from cloudless skies.

Of course, the ice could have also condensed on the side of an aircraft passing overhead, but megacryometeor sounds a lot cooler. Also, while airplane waste is often cited as a theory, these mysterious chunks of ice have been reported since before the dawn of aviation and do not have the tell-tale blue color which disinfectant creates in airplane waste. Thus, these icy mystery meteorites can join the ranks of animal rains and the star jelly, another unexplained seemingly natural substance which appears to fall spontaneously from the skies.

What Scientists Just Found Deep In The Ocean Is Seriously Unbelievable. I’m Still In Shock!

What Scientists Just Found Deep In The Ocean Is Seriously Unbelievable. I’m Still In Shock!

Off the coast of Egypt divers have discovered something that was thought to be lost a long time ago.

It was said that the ancient city of Heracleion was lost under the sea for good.

Well 1200 years later, off the bay of Aboukir, this ancient city has finally been discovered.

The city dates back to the 6th century B.C. and holds some of the most beautiful artifacts you could imagine.

Things like grand statues of gods and goddesses standing well over 15 feet tall and carved out of red granite, treasures of gold and rare stones, elaborate temples and enormous tablets.

This find is enormous in the historical preservation community and has been commissioned by museums around the world.

Take a look at this incredible city found underwater.

underwater-city

This is diver Franck Goddio examining the enormous hand carved statue of a pharaoh. This statue stands roughly 16 feet tall and was found near a large temple under the sea.

underwater-city-2

Here is the head of a statue carved out of red granite depicting the god Hapi. Hapi is known as the god of the flooding of the Nile. Hapi is a symbol of abundance and fertility and has never been discovered at such a large scale before.

underwater-city-3

The divers and their team of researchers carefully lift the statue to the surface in order to preserve and protect this piece of history. It will reside safely in a museum. 

underwater-city-4

Here the pharaoh, the queen and the god Hapi are laid on the barge next to a temple stele. The stele dates back to the 2nd century B.C.. It was found broken into 17 pieces however all were found and placed back together.

underwater-city-5

This gold plaque was found in the southern sector of the city. The text is written in Greek and acts as a signature for foundation deposits in the name of the king responsible for building this area. King Ptolemy III (246-222 B.C.)

underwater-city-6

In the reflection of this divers mask we see a bronze statue of the god Osiris. The crown is the typical insignia of power and this statue has eyes adorned with gold sheets.

underwater-city-7

Every single detail of this site in Aboukir Bay has been meticulously documented. Here a diver measures a red granite statues feet below the surface of the ocean.

underwater-city-8

A bronze oil lamp in excellent condition. This dates back to the 2nd century B.C.

underwater-city-9

Diver Franck Goddio showing off the size of this inscribed stele. This was ordered to be built by Nectanebo I sometime between 378 and 362 B.C. 

underwater-city-10

The divers carefully lift the enormous stele out of the water where it has been for well over 1200 years. 

underwater-city-11

Here the divers carefully inspect a stone full of gold fragments that date back to the 6th century B.C. I’m amazed that these are still in tact.

underwater-city-12

This is a shallow gold saucer that was used for drinking and serving.

underwater-city-13

This is an absolutely stunning statue found under the bay of a Ptolemiac queen. Most likely Cleopatra II or Cleopatra III dressed as the goddess Isis.

underwater-city-14

This red granite statue was also found near the big temple of Heracleion and weighs a massive 4 tons.

underwater-city-15

underwater-city-16

Here is a beautiful artifact, a Graeco-Egyptian statue of a queen carved out of dark stone.

underwater-city-17

underwater-city-19

This is the head of a pharaoh statue being raised to the surface. The statue measures over 5 meters and was carved out of red granite.

underwater-city-20

A bronze small figure of the pharaoh of the 26th dynasty found at a smaller temple in the underwater city of Heracleion. 

This is an absolutely epic underwater find that has researchers scrambling to this part of the globe to learn about this incredibly beautiful Egyptian city.

The fact that this city found underwater has been left untouched underwater for so many years is an amazing factor on its own let alone being a find as big as it truly is. These statues and artifacts are massive and nearly perfectly preserved.

The attention to detail in these pieces is truly beautiful and I’m happy to see it being preserved with great care.

INDIA will be the first country to explain to the world about ALIENS CONTACTS?

INDIA will be the first country to explain to the world about ALIENS CONTACTS?

New Delhi is in the middle of a big secret internal debate. On one side the largest democracy of the world is eager to explain to its citizens and to the world about the ongoing contacts with the UFOs and extraterrestrials. On the other hand there are invisible untold international protocols that prohibit doing anything that may cause worldwide fear and panic.

It is well accepted between the UFO and extra-terrestrial experts that all the five nuclear powers are in contact with the beings from other stars for quite some time. Recently India has seen enormous news on UFO contacts and secret UFO bases in Himalayas near the Chinese bases. In Ladak, for example the locals clearly point out the everyday phenomenon of large triangular spacecrafts coming out below the ground and Indian security forces protecting them.

Military officials and politicians have confessed the fact that India has been contacted. India has been told the rules of the Universe.

The current debate is on whether to keep it secret like other countries are doing or in tradition of a total transparent society come out and tell the truth. India is so open and democratic; it is very difficult to keep a secret for long. The biggest concern of the Government today is that unlike in other countries, it will be very difficult to keep it secret for long. If the information comes out through unofficial channels first and then the authorities are pressed against the wall to confess, two bad things can happen. First, it can really cause a panic in the country as well as the world. Second, the way the Indian politics is run, the ruling party will be thrown out of power in no time i it is ever found that the Government withheld such information from the public.



The recent rush of world leaders to India is remarkable. Starting from Russian President Putin to major Senators from America have visited or are planning to visit India. European Union is in deep discussion with India on cooperation. All sanctions against India’s nuclear programs and Indian Space Research Organization are in the process of being lifted. India is cooperating with Europeans and the Americans in space explorations and technology research program. India is also part of World Trade Organization. India is receiving major outsourcing contracts in IT and call-center service work from America and Europe. India’s Forex reserve is at a level never imagined before because of international direct investments from Western nations, Japan, Korea and others. Interestingly, China the arc rival of India changed its posture in the last few years to make India’s friendship and trade a priority. India is slowly getting to the point when it is accepted as a permanent member of the Security Council. All the five Security Council members China, America, Russia, France and UK support India’s inclusion.

When all these factors are added together and analyzed, it seems like India is being told by the world to abide by the hidden protocols and in exchange be recognized as a major emerging superpower.

The debate the country is facing internally is whether to abide by the laws of the world and the Universe to be recognized as a superpower or be truthful to its citizens and the world.

According to sources close to the Government, the UFO contacts is known by quite a few politicians in the opposition and of course by those who are in power.

The military has legitimate concern of not letting the secrets out either.

Mars was probably habitable for longer than we thought

Mars was probably habitable for longer than we thought

In ancient times, Gale Crater rippled with the fresh, blue water of a large lake. Now it’s a 90-mile-wide hole in the red Martian surface. Its water is gone, but the sediments it left behind contain clues about when and where the planet might once have been hospitable to life.

The Curiosity rover has been searching for those clues since 2012. Rambling around Gale Crater and inching up the 3-mile-high Mount Sharp at its center, Curiosity is studying the layers of rock that the lake laid down over time.

Today, a new analysis of the rover’s findings reveals the red planet had the physical, chemical, and energetic ingredients to support life between 3.8 and 3.1 billion years ago. That’s right around the time that life got started on Earth, and it’s a larger window than scientists previously assumed.

A window into the past

Geochemist Joel Hurowitz from Stony Brook University led a large team that scrutinized the chemical contents in 100 meters of rock layers in Gale Crater. The chemicals within the rocks indicate what sorts of conditions they formed under.

It doesn’t look like much now, but Gale Crater used to be home to a large freshwater lake. A new analysis of the rocks deposited in the lake suggest that Mars was warm and wet for longer than previously thought.

To reconstruct the red planet’s past climate, Hurowitz and his team measured how much aluminum each layer contained, versus minerals like sodium and calcium which easily leach out of the rock.

During warm conditions, water is better at dissolving and chemically modifying rocks. So if a rock layer has a lot of aluminum but not much sodium or calcium, that indicates it formed under warm conditions. Cold water isn’t as chemically active, so a rock layer with a higher abundance of sodium and calcium suggests the layer formed under warm conditions.

The rocks suggest that Mars was initially cool, and then became warm and wet. Eventually it dried out due to a cataclysmic loss of its atmosphere, but the new results indicate that Mars’ mild climate was longer-lived than scientists expected.

A rendering of Gale Crater, with Mount Sharp at its center. The Curiosity rover is currently exploring this area.

Plus, the upper layers of the lake were awash in oxidizing agents, while deeper layers contained reducing agents; together, these two types of molecules provide food that hypothetical Martian organisms could have used to get energy.

The lake also provided a variety of ecological niches that microbes on Earth would have thrived in. There were shallow parts with lots of dissolved oxygen, deeper parts deprived of oxygen, and everything in between.

“This lake presented a menu of options for microbial life, if it was present,” says Hurowitz.

As to whether life ever did evolve on Mars, that’s not a question Curiosity is equipped to answer. The rover is identifying where and when Mars might have been capable of supporting life, which will help NASA’s Mars 2020 rover look for actual evidence of life on the red planet in a few years. “We’re learning a lot from Curiosity about how to go to that next level,” says Hurowitz.

Although the study’s findings make a lot of sense, Hurowitz says he’s still surprised. “I don’t think we expected that we would be able to understand this much detail about the chemical conditions in the lake that existed 3.5 billion years ago. This was actually a very Earth-like environment.”

It’s still a mystery as to how Mars warmed up, but scientists think it may have something to do with volcanoes, impacts from outer space, or the planet’s tilt. But the extreme shift from balmy temperatures to the cold, dry desolation that Mars is today appears to have been driven by the planet’s atmosphere leaking into space.

As Curiosity continues its trek up Mount Sharp, it will have the chance to study more layers of the ancient lake, and provide more clues about the planet’s history.

The Sumerian Anunnaki and the Origin of Mankind

The Sumerian Anunnaki and the Origin of Mankind

One of the most interesting theories regarding the origin of mankind was proposed by paranormal author Zecharia Sitchin and revolves around the Anunnaki (Sumerian: “those who came down from the heavens”). The Anunnaki correspond to the old Hebrew Anakeim and Elohim and the Egyptian Neter.

According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki came from Nibiru, the mysterious yet unconfirmed tenth planet in our solar system. They landed in the Persian Gulf area some 430,000 years ago and colonized our planet with the intention of mining monoatomic gold, which was scarce on Nibiru yet abundant on Earth.

Their mining operations went without a hitch for 200,000 years until their miners rebelled and the Anunnaki were left without their working force. Documents Sitchin claims to have translated tell of the efforts the Anunnaki undertook in search for new miners, efforts which ultimately led to the rise of Homo sapiens.

The Sumerian Anunnaki and the Origin of Mankind

After unsuccessful attempts to splice animal and Homo erectus DNA, the Anunnaki chief scientists Enkiand Ninhursag incorporated their own genetic material into H. erectus, fathering modern humans. Their success was shadowed by the fact that their new human slaves were sterile clones and as the demand for workforce increased, they genetically engineered mankind in order to be able to reproduce.

This ability led to overpopulation and many humans were banished from the safety of their cities, giving rise to the expulsion from paradise myth that so many cultures still recall.

Thousands of centuries later, the human species had evolved into stability and again caught the attention of the Anunnaki. They wanted to take advantage of the new genetic stock and some of them were chosen as sexual partners. The children resulted from these forbidden unions were called the Nephilim, “the giants of old”. This protocol breach also resulted in wiping out the resulting populace, save for a few chosen individuals who were protected by Enki, who still harbored sympathy for his creation. These events are present as the cultural heritage of many civilizations.

After hundreds of thousands of years of enslaving their creation to serve their obscure interests, the Anunnaki decided to leave Earth. Their influence reached every corner of the world, from Mesopotamia to India to South America.

According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki exodus happened around 6,000 years ago. Before they left, they decided to give humanity one more boost, which can be summed up as the Sumerian civilization, which was inexplicably advanced for its time. Indeed, they made a ‘sudden’ appearance as a mature and highly organized culture. The Anunnaki taught the Sumerians their way of life and established kingship. The king would act as their emissary on Earth and rule the people under their guidance. Their select bloodline was genetically enhanced with Anunnaki genes and they were taught astronomy, mathematics, technology and medicine.

Despite the skepticism with which this theory has been met, Sitchin cites several documents and discoveries in support of his claim.

The Babylonian epic of creation called Enuma Elish represents a history of the forming of our solar system. According to it, the Earth had not yet formed when a wandering planet called Nibiru was caught by our sun’s gravitational pull. It disturbed many of the planets’ moons and tilted Uranus’ orbit. It then collided with Tiamat, a planet that once orbited between Mars and Jupiter.

Earth was born out of this collision and Tiamat’s moon became our own. What was left of Nibiru settled into a 3,600 year elliptical retrograde (it spins opposite to all the other planets) orbit around the sun. Interestingly enough, computer simulations indicate such an event as the origin of our planet. It would certainly explain a lot of inconsistencies in our current theory about the Moon, which seems older than Earth itself.

Sitchin also believes that the existence of out of place artifacts such as the Baghdad Batteries or the Saqqara Bird can be attributed to an ancient yet highly advanced civilization. He also mentions the suppressed discovery of an Anunnaki gold processing plant on Mount Horeb by Sir Flinders Petrie in 1889.

Archaeological digs at the ancient Mesopotamian city of Niniveh uncovered 400 intact clay tablets in the library of Assurbanipal. These tablets contain continuous historical records fully encompassing the activities of the Anunnaki. The records place the location of the Anunnaki genetic laboratories in East Central Africa, which, interestingly enough is in the exact same area as our modern searches have placed ‘mitochondrial Eve’ and in the same time period. Even more interesting is that 100,000 year-old gold mines have been found in the area.

Sitchin believes that our evolution has been sped up beyond a doubt. He and others claim that our radical and anomalous differences should be evidence enough for this theory.

They also say the Anunnaki are not done ruling Earth.

Robert Bigelow says ET is Here

 On 60 Minutes Bigelow Aerospace president Robert Bigelow said “there has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence” on or around Earth. “I’m absolutely convinced. That’s all there is to it,” Bigelow told Lara Logan.

Bigelow, whose company has partnered with NASA and Elon Musk’s SpaceX to test their immense, expandable spaceship habitats, inflated in orbit, has been a believer in UFOs as extraterrestrial phenomena since his grandparents reported encountering a craft that “sped up and came right into their face and filled up the entire windshield of the car.”

But Bigelow’s belief in extraterrestrials visiting Earth go far beyond conclusions reached from family anecdote and the public record, or so he implies. “I spent millions and millions and millions — I probably spent more as an individual than anybody else in the United States has ever spent on this subject.”

Through his now-defunct National Institute for Discovery Science, Bigelow collected hotline reports of UFO sightings and precipitated a minor scandal in UFO circles by allegedly buying Mutual UFO Network case files from an inside source. He’s even bought up physical evidence and worked it out so the FAA submits UFO sightings directly to Bigelow Aerospace, since there’s no government entity accepting them.

Bigelow noted during the interview that his grandparents spotted a UFO on a canyon road outside Las Vegas: “It really sped up and came right into their face and filled up the entire windshield of the car. And it took off at a right angle and shot off into the distance,” he told “60 Minutes” reporter Lara Logan.

. When Logan asked if he’s risking anything by taking a public stance that UFOs are visiting Earth, Bigelow said, “I don’t give a damn. I don’t care.”“It’s not going to make a difference. It’s not going to change reality of what I know,” he said. “You don’t have to anywhere… it’s just like right under people’s noses.”

If whatever Bigelow has found is so compelling, perhaps it’s time he share. Instead, Bigelow repeatedly hints at big secrets, sufficient for absolute certainty, that he’s simply not telling. The absence of evidence would be sufficient to dismiss most other UFO boasts of this nature. But in Bigelow’s case it’s not simply a naked claim, but one backed by an aerospace billionaire who has spent years privatizing vast troves of UFO evidence.

Shostak, however, takes Phil Klass’s place as the UFO skeptic.

“He’s not the only Silicon Valley type, entrepreneur in the tech industry, that thinks we’re

being visited,” Shostak said.

Even so, the solid evidence of these visitors is nonexistent. If there were some reason for modern-day alien visitors, Shostak said, someone would have strong evidence by now.

Dr. Bruce Cornet who worked for Bigelow  ztates, “But Seth:There is overwhelming evidence of a UFO phenomenon.  Ask astronomers to prove that stars exist, and the only thing they can give you is anecdotal evidence, instrument data, and photographs – the same things UFO witnesses give us.  Are we to believe there is no SOLID evidence for the existence of stars, even though their sunlight reaches Earth like the UFO phenomenon, and UFOs can be detected like sunlight?”

But Seth: There are many examples of our ancestors in Italy, Greece, and Egypt reporting UFO like objects in the sky (even painting them there on canvasses), and describing them, such as Saint Anthony who reported that a silver-colored disc landed in the path he was taking to his cave in the desert, blocking his path. What about the Bible accounts of angels (aliens) and machines coming down to Earth from heaven (space).  You should watch the History Channel programs: Ancient Aliens, to bring you up to speed. Thanks to Bruce Cornet.  Link

Note: Of course the news media ignored Bigelow’s testimony, they’re too busy trying to destroy our elected government.

Chile Navy Releases Film of a UFO

 Chile Navy releases film of a UFO captured by two experienced Navy officers from a helicopter on November 11, 2014. The Navy Captain stated that the object was a “flat, elongated structure” with “two thermal spotlights like discharges that did not coincide with the axel of motion.” The technician described it as as “white with a semi-oval shape on the horizontal axis.” He was testing a Wescam Forward looking FLIR infra red camera.

The exceptional nine-minute Navy video includes an UFO displaying highly unusual characteristics. Chilian and French scientists examined the video for several years with at least eight contentious meetings with s of the baffled Chilean FAA CEFAA scientific committee, which included the active Air Force General who directs the DGAC. According to CEFAA international affairs director Jose Lay, the general tone of the meetings was astonishment: No agreement could be reached to explain the video.  An infrared camera was used that detects infrared energy (heat) and which is then processed to produce a thermal black image on a video monitor. Without the camera, it would have been difficult to see the white object against the sky and impossible to capture this remarkable footage. It makes one wonder what kind of activities may take place within clouds that are unknown to us. YouTube

Interview with John Lear

 

David Wilcock  and Corey Goode, and in this episode bring you none other than John Lear, the son of the inventor of the Learjet. I bring you John Lear. John Lear states, “I know that my father was the prime contractor for anti-gravity in 1952. And I’ve got the papers on that. Unfortunately for him, he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.”

And he went down to Bogota in 1953 and started talking about UFOs. So as close as he was, they kicked him out of the program, but Lear, Incorporated, still kept with that antigrav stuff.

And I think that was totally complete by 1956, which means we had saucers then – you know, the whole enchilada by then.

UFOLogy needs to listen to ancient ‘myth’ and stop thinking “nuts and bolts.” Ancient myth gives us many of the answers, if we’d listen. Problem is, we’ve bastardized it all.

And, of course, what they were doing is . . . and what tipped me off is one of the videos they had when the shuttle got there, they opened the door, and it’s only half full. So what they were doing is taking as much stuff that they could for the astronauts that were doing all the secret stuff, and, of course, the things they had to have like fruit and perishables and stuff. And that had to go up and be unloaded. And then the Russians would always launch the same day that the shuttle launched. And that stuff that they had in their rocket would be transferred to the shuttle, and when it came back down, the reason it took them two days is they were going to all the different space stations and dropping all the stuff off that the Russians had given. Which brings me to the Cold War. I think that was all bullshit. There was never any Cold War. We’ve always been allied with the Russians.

Kwajalein is where all the secret stuff goes. All those launches are out in the South Pacific.

And Kwajalein Island, the Ronald Reagan, they launch probably every other day. There’s probably 1,000 astronauts currently qualified that go up all the time. So I was working ATS, Above Top Secret, or wherever it was, and we were talking about the discrepancies with the shuttle going up and taking 48 hours to get to the ISS, when it only took the Russians an hour. And then the same thing, when they disengaged from the ISS, why did it take them over 48 hours to come back?

John Lear is describing how his father with his aeronautics company apparently was put in charge of developing anti-gravity, or at least was one of the groups tasked with that.

Corey: Right. David: And he was essentially excised from the anti-gravity research, even though his own company was still involved in it. And therefore, he believes that by 1956 that we actually had working flying saucers. So let’s just start with that little piece of data, and what does your experience and background suggest is the truth behind what he just said about this? Corey: Well, the way you stated it was accurate, because they were . . . like Tompkins was doing. They were seeding this information to many different engineers and companies. I mean, if you have five different groups with five different engineering teams, they all do not come up with the same concept.

Then you have five different or a few different concepts that are being worked on by different teams that are not cross-pollinating or polluting each other.

David: Now, the next thing that he got into was the times, you know, 1952 and 1956, where he thinks we had working prototypes. That sounds pretty close to some of what you said on the show.

David: Now, you’d mentioned before that the U.S. had gotten to a certain point in its own research, but it essentially hit a brick wall, and that, therefore, the Nazi breakaway faction over flights of Washington, D.C., in 1952 that kind of forced a truce to be made, that the U.S. wanted to do that in part because they needed intel from the Germans to be able to perfect their own antigravity. Is that still true?

Corey: Yes. David: So what do you think was going on with Lear Aeronautics at this point? Was it only the German influence that then actually got them to perfect that technology by, as he said, 1956? Corey: From far behind the scenes, this German breakaway group had infiltrated the military industrial complex. Right after Paperclip, the infiltration had started. And then after the overflights, and we made the agreement with the Nazi group, then, yes, they infiltrated like crazy after that.

David: So how do those numbers fit with what you’ve heard about the Military Industrial Complex (MIC) program? Not a whole lot of specifics on the numbers, but there were a number of islands that they were launching these multistage rockets, like old rockets.

 Corey: And they were servicing . This is also how they created some of these space stations. Some of these MIC space stations are made out of different stages of rockets that, once they were used to leave orbit, they then ferried these pieces together, sort of welded them together in almost a circle, but more of like a flattened circle. Like an octagon. And they would have like two or three layers of those, and in the middle, they have more of those types, like fuselage or stages of rockets. And then the station spins, creating like a third gravity or something like that. And the shuttles would come and dock at the top of the spoke of the wheel. they used the space shuttle, tonventional rockets, and later on when they started developing these larger, triangular shuttles They had plenty of room to bring all of the food and stuff up, and back.

Note: The MIC SSP allegedly is entirely separate to a more advanced Navy Space Program known as “Solar Warden”, which Goode says he served in during a “twenty year and back” tour of duty from 1987 to 2007.

Space Fence

The Space Fence is a second-generation space surveillance system currently being built by the US Air Force in order to track artificial satellites and space debris in Earth orbit.[1]

Contracts were issued for development and construction in 2014, and the Space Fence is expected to be operational in 2019.[1] The budget is US$1.594 billion (FY15).[2]

The initial space fence facility will be located at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands,[1] along with an option for another radar site in Western Australia.[3]

Letter from Ufologist

Paul Murad writes, I remember trying to solve a fluid dynamic stability problem. The conventional wisdom was to extend an exponential solution and see what would happen. Great scientists failed.

I looked at the similar boundary-layer equation and using Lyapunov’s approach, suction tends to generate stability while blowing unstable. This could be used to look at transient flow problems.  Anyway, My paper was published in an AIAA paper.

What is the lesson for this? If you have a problem, the AI search would look into existing methodologies to find solutions.  Here is the benefit but, could AI create an original thought? This is the 64,000 dollar question.  It could only use what was previously created. Creativity leaves AI in the dust.

.Now, why am I concerned?  I finished my UFO course out of OLLI/GMU I did this several years ago and found that I needed to add additional ‘new’ information, especially about skinny Mike and Bill.

ome amigos in Brazil, during the course, I was able to identify that many crashes occurred especially after Roswell. The earliest on was in Nazi Germany in 1937 as well as finding part of a vehicle in the Kiev, Soviet Union region. The Germans used this technology while the xenophobic Russians hid their treasure moving it to Moscow.

The Nazis attacked in the Eurasia region. Findings in these aliens suddenly jumped occurred especially after the Trinity nuclear bomb explosion.

Crashes were also found strictly from Brazil while the former picture is sometimes referred to as a Russian activity and possibly incorrectly informed as Roswell. At Roswell, the methodology claims one dead, one was wounded and soon died, while the third lived for some time of period before dying. I doubt is there were two bodies together out of Roswell…

What commonalities occurred with all of these bodies assuming they came from the same species? Although they had ribs, no expansion or expulsion in the lungs seemed to appear. All of these guys did not have a helmet so they could live in our environment.  This is in contrast to ancient historical artifacts which imply aliens used helmets.  They do not have a mouth nor do they appear to eat. Sex is not of sufficient size for females to allow propagation. Their missions appear to gain some human DNA for some yet to be established reason.  Their basic body is slim and their long arms are extended usually with three large fingers.

Now the question is that these crashes have crashed in several different nations to go as far as a situation in Saudi Arabia. One may argue they literally fall out of the sky/In Russia they are shot down. There appears to be a war with these aliens and the Russians, since most of their cities have a sophisticated air-defense systems.

Russian Su-27 on afterburner for pursuing a saucer.

The point is that saucers are literally falling out of the sky all over the world.

Admittedly they are from several different species and these devices were not only saucers, but triangles as well as stranger vehicles.

Some saucers and something that looks like antennae or else in China.

This loss of saucers and personnel represent significant assets. Why is there no response about these vehicles falling out of the sky that we are aware of?  Why do these creatures appear to be so focused?  If their owners do not care, my view is that these are not the specific species itself, but to look at these as nothing more than biological robots. The behavior appears to be robotic; however, they have clear biological capabilities. They represent advances in AI which appear to be limited with knowledge possibly to go back into the past or in one case, being intellectual at the equivalent of two Ph.Ds.

This leaves us with a different perspective. Several sources claim being involved with aliens and would like for us to believe that these aliens care about us and although they are focused on atomic weapon locations or missiles, they care about humanity going over the top with a nuclear war. I do not accept this premise at all. I feel this is nonsense.

Let me explain why. Dr. Brandenburg implies that based on the Mars Rover and Spectrometer on a satellite in orbit about Mars has found unusual isotopes. The typical NASA geologist would generally ignore these elements. However, if you possess knowledge and expertise building nuclear weapons, these isotopes are basically the consequences of nuclear fission/fusion explosions. Mars appears to demonstrate a civilization that once existed. What occurred?

We would like to provide a hypothesis. The sun is large and billions of years ago, there was a planet named by the Russians as Phaeton. This planet was between Mars and Jupiter. As the Sun’s mass is converted into energy, the gravitational mass decreases and the orbits of these planets move further away. Phaeton enters the Goldilocks’ zone and develops biology to create some sorts of being.  In time, with more loss of mass in the Sun, Mars also enters the Goldilocks’ zone possibly billions of years later and develops their own civilization.

Apparently, Mars and Phaeton did not get along. Mars won in terms of the Phaeton planet being disintegrated resulting in an asteroid belt.  However, in a nuclear war, no one really wins, The Martians are contaminated and if they exist, any civilizations are below the surface. The point is that if these events occurred, why did not aliens come to save them?  It did not happen.  They were truly only watchers.

Others claim aliens claim that humanity is too violent because we killed each other.  This is trash.  All biological forms on the Earth, from insects to birds, lions, and fish are violent.  If this occurs in our planet, why would these lesser beings operate in a different fashion in their so-called advanced world?

Anyway, some of these possibilities are really questionable.  Moreover, regarding AI, it will show some limitations and that they can only act as a means of data selection, although important, creativity is absence with AI.  Hence, mankind will still survive despite such a threat…Thanks to Paul Murad

CLAIMS(4)

  1. A spacecraft comprised of the following components:

(a) a triangular hull in the form of an equilateral triangle;

(b) two copper plates attached on opposite vertical sides at each of the three corners of the hull (1 a) such that a sharp vertical edge is formed where they come together;

(c) an electrostatic generator used to charge the back two copper-cladded corners (1 b) to a high positive voltage, and the third forward copper-cladded corner to a high negative voltage;

(d) a horizontal slot antenna array mounted-on the sides of the hull; and

(e) a frequency generator, antenna and coaxial cables to drive the antenna array (1 d).

  1. 2. To create, by claims (1a, 1b, 1 c), an intense vertical line charge at the corners (1 b) and a horizontal electric field that that is parallel to the sides of the hull (1 a);
  2. 3. To create, by claims (1d,1e), an electromagnetic wave with a vertically polarized electric field traveling outward from the side of the hull (1 a); and
  3. 4. To create, by claims (2,3), an interaction of the electrostatic field (2) with the electromagnetic wave (3) such that a combined spacetime curvature pressure is generated on the hull in the upward and forward direction to produce lift and propulsion respectively.

DESCRIPTION -BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention is a spacecraft having a triangular hull with vertical electrostatic line charges on each corner. The line charges create a horizontal electric field that, together with a plane wave emitted by antennas on the side of the hull, generates a force per volume providing a unique combination of both lift and propulsion.

Referring to FIG. 6, these three stresses are plotted together as a 3D vector field animated over time in nine frames. The graphs show that there is a lift force as depicted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention is a spacecraft with a triangular hull having charged flat plates on the vertical corners of the three sides. The two rear corners are charged to a potential V. The forward corner is charged to a potential −V. The 60° angle on the corner creates a line charge density singularity that produces a huge horizontal electric field pointing from the back to the front of the craft which is also parallel to the sides of the triangle. An array of horizontal slot antennas located on the sides of the triangular hull produce an electromagnetic wave with the electric field polarized in the vertical direction. This combination of fields produces a spacetime force in both the vertical and horizontal directions such that the spacecraft receives a lift force and a force of propulsion.

The A parabolic antenna (E) is centrally located in the bottom of the hull.antenna (A) is made out of sheet copper in which a rectangular horizontal slot (B) has been notched out using a die press and sheet metal fixture. A coaxial cable from the amplifier and frequency generator is attached across the slot by soldering the outer cable (D) to one side of the slot and the inner cable (E) to the other side of the slot. This creates the positive and negative charges across the gap which forms the vertical electric field (F) which radiates out perpendicularly to the copper sheet. Details at: Patent Link

How Suicide Bomber in Manchester Funded Attack with Student

The terrorist Salman Abedi is understood to have received thousands of pounds in government funding in the run up to Monday’s atrocity even while he was overseas receiving bomb-making training. Police are investigating Abebi’s finances, including how he paid for frequent trips to Libya where he is thought to have been taught to make bombs at a jihadist training camp. Abedi’s finances are a major ‘theme’ of the police inquiry amid growing alarm over the ease with which jihadists are able to manipulate Britain’s welfare and student loans system to secure financing. One former detective said, “Jihadists were enrolling on university courses to collect the student loans “often with no intention of turning up”. Abedi was given at least £7,000 ($9,000) from the taxpayer-funded Student Loans after beginning a business administration degree at Salford University in October 2015. Thanks to the Telegraph

Filer’s Files #23 – 2017 TR-3B Patent Released - PART II

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Light

Chandler — I spotted this in the sky on May 27, 2017, at 3:50 PM. I was in the backyard and I was looking through my binoculars and I spotted this shiny object and I started to record it. The object was a pretty weird looking thing. It just sitting in the sky and it came from the sun area and it was there for 5 to 10 minutes. Then it just disappeared.

Note: The video reveals that the object moved between the photographer and the tree in the background. The distance of the tree is not known. The witness took a video by fitting his cell phone to his binoculars. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

California Object

San Ramo — I was notified via email by nest of something in my front yard on May 23, 2017.
I had already left for work and was curious what was in my front yard. I proceeded to look at the video and observed the above described thing? This appears to be what some call a Sky fish. Photo is available upon request. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Georgia Orb

LoveJoy — On my way home from work on May 27, 2017, I noticed a light in the sky. It was too late in the morning for there to be any stars still out about 8 am. It started small as I was driving and I noticed that it wasn’t moving and was getting bigger so I pulled over and took a picture.

I had to leave but kept watching and it started getting smaller until it finally vanished about 15 minutes later. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Illinois Light

Edinburg — Pamela Stark reports photographing a visitor on June 1st, 2017,

She states,”Their Back”!! Thanks to Pamela Stark

Ohio Cylinder

Wapakoneta — I was walking with a group of friends in Ohio on May 29, 2017. I like to look in the sky when I walk because it’s something I have always done and it helps me think. I know what a plane looks like and I know what the flying lanterns look like, but what I saw that wasn’t either.  I saw it around 9:40 Pm along with my friends. It was a single yellow orb way higher than I have seen a plane or anything in general. It continued in a straight line for a few seconds before it flew higher and higher until it was gone. I know it wasn’t a balloon because it was glowing. I was able to get pictures before it disappeared. I have turned to this community to help me out. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oklahoma Disc

Bartlesville — My wife, son and I went to eat dinner on May 19, 2017, and when we left the restaurant the sky was a bright orange.

A storm just passed through and my wife and son both took pictures of the sunset. About a week later my son (11) was going through his pictures at lunch and noticed the object in the sky. I asked my wife about her pictures and the object is in her picture also.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Object

Merlin — Driving south from Hugo on I-5 to Grants Pass on November 18, 2016, I was taking pictures of blue sky. It had been raining continuously and I caught this UFO on film. This is the last picture in a series of four taken 30 seconds apart. Thanks to MUFON CMS

 Texas Disc

San Marcos — We were driving and taking pictures of the beautiful scene and noticed the strange objects there on May 14, 2017.

We were all watching and taking photos just milliseconds apart when it disappeared into thin air. I noticed that the shape of this strange object was a round but flat object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Virginia Object

Rocky Mount — I was in the back yard of my ranch-style duplex and took a photo of a flying s Image with my DX-4 Quadcopter Drone.  Playback of the video that the drone captured shows possibly Sun distorting pixels of a very dark object. Upon closer inspection, I observed an object to right and left, equidistant and height in relation to dark the object. Again, it could be an illusion of light and clouds. Throughout the last 30 seconds of video, the drone pans up three times. During each pan-up, all three objects move and change shape in different ways.
When the drone returned, I didn’t know I had captured something interested until it was too late.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Lights

Arlington – The second day I witnessed a pulsating object at near the same time and at the same area of sky as the previous day. The object the second day was moving in a straight line instead of hovering.

The object stayed on path until it vanished over the horizon. Wind was southwest at 1-5 knots. The second day I witnessed a pulsating object at near the same time and at the same area of sky as previous day. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Canada Image

Oshawa, Ontario — I thought to share another strange image taken on May 13, 2017.

While outside my house in Oshawa, Ontario I thought to experiment and took ten photos on May 13, 2017. Examining all the photos we found something interesting in one of the pictures taken at 4:34 pm, It reveals a strange ‘ long ‘ colorful unknown object. This was not seen with the naked eye. I do wonder what flies undetected from the naked eye. Enjoy another Memorial Day my friend. Paul Shishis

France Lights

Chateau-Thierry — I tell what I saw Saturday night May 20, /2017, at 22:37.
I did not have the reflex to take a picture just to call my husband, who only saw the last luminous sphere. To show you, I took a day photo that I worked on Paint to give you an idea of the size of these luminous spheres.
The spheres moved from right to left, west / east. They were almost aligned, when the middle one stood out like a triangle.  there a sphere was again visible, very small, which lets me assume that it was very far, it was heading south east, straight in my field of vision. It lasted more between 1.5 to 2 minutes (which seems to me enormous). I felt that they were moving slowly, Thanks to MUFON CMS

India Sphere

New Delhi — It was almost diamond shaped with dark sides reflecting sunlight moving slowly from west towards south east on March 24, 2017.

I was actually observing aircraft coming in to land at Delhi Airport from my balcony. Aircrafts pass at a distance of 3 kilometers away at an altitude of 2,500 feet when I observed this strange object moving slowly around 4,000 feet. It gained altitude slowly and disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Italy Orb

Mareno Di Piave — I was smoking a cigarette in the garden with my partner on May 25, 2017, looking at the sky. It was the brightest thing you saw in the heavens as the object was very strange doing kind of zigzag.

I was lucky enough to have an areo who spent at least that view near a strong light, and I could at least measure the two speeds of the areo and the alleged light was much faster.
From the west at great distance comes an aircraft that I filmed for one minute. After 50 seconds this aircraft is located to the east and vanishes into thin air. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Korea Missile Launch

The attached video is a screen capture on my TV while watching FOX news about the Korean missile launch. You should be able to retrieve the same video from most local news channels.
As the missile was launching you can see a black long object flies from the launching missile swerving in a smooth back and forth motion towards the camera and out of view
I thought it was strange, but it didn’t look like a bird and was too small to be an aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mexico Orb

Quintana Roo — I recently observed what appeared to be a metal object 3 to 5 miles off the coast on May 18, 2017. It was moving in an erratic manner and not like any known aircraft I’d seen. A vivid reflection is what made me notice the tiny object for roughly 60 to 90 seconds before filming the attached video.

I immediately knew it was odd and called to my wife to come and look. Before I could turn the recorder back on it moved upwards and disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Portugal Orbs

Santo Tirso — I was with a friend walking back to our houses around 11 PM, so we looked up to see fireworks at the time. But when I looked up I saw lots of distanced lights flashing and I’m 100% sure it wasn’t the fireworks since there was no explosions. The amount of flashes in that particular area didn’t feel normal. After a while I saw them moving slowly like flocks of birds. I counted around 10-15 “star-like” objects flashing very quickly. When my friend who witnessed the event went home the lights were still there, moving and blinking. The lights made a cross… The “lights” flew away and dissipated. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Puerto Rico Objects

Barrio Daguao, Naguabo — I was heading to a restaurant on a hill with my parents on May 27, 2017, and took photos toward the coast. I saw the objects when reviewing them on my computer. They were not close to an airplane or birds since they looked aligned in formation.

In one photo, there is a boomerang form and an egg-like object on top of it. I felt surprised when looking because a casual trip photo can turn into amazing evidence. They were static or moved very fast. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK/England Light and Rectangles

I was looking out my window at about 10 pm on February 7, 2017, when I saw a circle shaped object in the sky with no trail of smoke. It wasn’t a plane, but it wasn’t flashing lights. I could just see one small light in the sky, so I took a picture and zoomed in on it.

Then I got a screenshot of a close up view and I saw like little black things walking. At that moment I thought it was a UFO because I think there aliens in the strange shaped object. I was watching it for about four minutes then it just disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Devon England — John Mooner Ufologist and chief investigator for worldufophotos.org and an investigator for B.E.A.M.S. reports

“I was at the Teign Estuary taking photographs of passing planes when I spotted what at first I thought was a passenger plane.” I started to zoom in with my Nikon P900 only to be shocked by what I saw on 24 ‎May ‎2017, at 5:15 PM. This object is very unconventional with two white connected rectangular sections with two protruding transparent square flaps. There was one flap on the top and one flap on the bottom. There were also two separate contrails that where left by this strange object. This is totally bizarre and I photographed the same bizarre object over the Teign Estuary back on the ‎10th of ‎April 2017, leaving a long contrail.

Note: According to NASA, “Contrails are human-induced clouds that usually form at very high altitudes (usually above 8 km – about 26,000 feet) where the air is extremely cold (less than -40ºC). Because of this, contrails form not when an airplane is taking off or landing, but while it is at cruise altitude.” The plume ejected from the object must have been some kind of gas or energy, and was not something tangible like water.

NASA Hunting Asteroid Worth Quadrillions of Dollars

NASA Hunting Asteroid Worth Quadrillions of Dollars

The massive 16 Psyche asteroid is not only an interesting piece of rock, but the minerals she’s made up of are literally worth quadrillions of dollars. Being wildly fascinating and extremely rich does have its perks, and NASA is definitely courting her.

Earlier this year, NASA confirmed a mission to 16 Psyche. About a month ago, they bumped up their timeline, and now the mission seems to be ahead of schedule. The launch of  the Psyche robotic spacecraft will occur in 2022. Employing a fancy sling shot maneuver using the gravity of Earth and Mars, the spacecraft will reach the asteroid by 2026.

The reason for NASA’s interest in this asteroid is that it is comprised totally of nickel and iron, the same metals which make up the Earth’s core. The working theory is that 16 Psyche is actually the core of a long dead planet, which was roughly the same size as Mars, but was ripped apart due to massive collisions billions of years ago. While NASA views this as an opportunity to view a planetary core, similar to that of our own ‘terra firma‘, the niggling reality of a corpse planet serves as a cold reminder to an unfriendly cosmos.

The current theory as to how 16 Psyche may have been formed.

(Image: Arizona State University)

Only slightly less interesting is that the asteroid has an estimated value of $10,000 quadrillion American dollars. The nickel and iron content of 16 Pysche is enough to crash the Earth’s entire economic system. The current gross world product (GWP) is only about $74 trillion, so humanity can only hope 16 Psyche gives change.

Lindy Elkins-Tanton, the lead scientist on the NASA mission and the director of Arizona State University’s School of Earth and Space Exploration, stated in an interview that,

Even if we could grab a big metal piece and drag it back here … what would you do? Could you kind of sit on it and hide it and control the global resource — kind of like diamonds are controlled corporately — and protect your market? What if you decided you were going to bring it back and you were just going to solve the metal resource problems of humankind for all time? This is wild speculation obviously.

The technology required to drag a 200 kilometre wide metal asteroid from its current orbit, and bring it back to Earth, is still quite a ways away.  The Psyche mission is purely to observe the asteroid, and not to begin mining operations. The spacecraft will send data back to Earth which should help scientists here better understand how planets form, as well as how and why planets, such as Earth, separate into layers that make up the core, mantle and crust.

In addition to learning more about Earth, the NASA team also believes that asteroids such as 16 Psyche could provide possible life lines in space. New research suggests that this asteroid could be full of water. As humans endeavour deeper into space, similar asteroids could be used as sources of water. Elkins-Tanton notes,

That water can be used to make rocket fuel or be drunk by people, so then we’d have a resource stop that has metal and water.

While this is all still speculative, by 2026, NASA will get a close up view of 16 Psyche. Perhaps the intimate knowledge of a dead planet will remind humanity that its current squabbling over politics, religions, and resources are meaningless to the cosmos.

Exoplanet HD 131399 Ab turns out to be a background star, new study finds

Exoplanet HD 131399 Ab turns out to be a background star, new study finds

Exoplanet HD 131399 Ab turns out to be a background star, new study finds
cADI PSF-subtracted images of HD 131399 Ab obtained with GPI in 2017 in J (top left), H (top right and bottom left), and K1 (bottom right) bands. A two-pixel lowpass filter was applied on the images to suppress shot noise. Intensity scales are linear, different in each image, and chosen to saturate the PSF of HD 131399 Ab. The central star is masked numerically, and its position is marked by the white cross. Credit: Nielsen et al., 2017.

(Phys.org)—A new study conducted by an international team of astronomers suggests that a recently discovered alien world, designated HD 131399 Ab, may not be a planet at all, but rather a background star. The researchers presented evidence supporting their hypothesis in a paper published online May 19 on the arXiv pre-print repository.

HD 131399 Ab was discovered in July 2016 using the SPHERE imager of the Very Large Telescope at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in Chile. Located some 316 light years away from the Earth, the object was initially classified as an exoplanet orbiting its parent star HD 131399 A every 550 years at a distance of about 80 AU from the host. The star is part of the triple system HD 131399 in the constellation Centaurus.

A reanalysis of the available data from SPHERE, as well as new photometric and spectroscopic observations carried out with the use of two other instruments, has led the researchers to call into question our current knowledge about HD 131399 Ab. The team led by Eric Nielsen of the SETI Institute, reinvestigated this object using the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) installed on the Gemini South Telescope in Chile, the NIRC2 near-infrared imager mounted on the Keck II telescope in Hawaii and also the SPHERE instrument to derive colors, spectra, and astrometry for HD 131399 Ab.

"The analysis of the data reveals unexpected spectroscopic and astrometric results that motivated the reanalysis of some of the already published data obtained with VLT/SPHERE," the astronomers wrote in the paper.

After its detection, HD 131399 Ab was classified as a young and massive planet. The astronomers discovered that HD 131399 Ab is about 16 million years old and has the mass of approximately four Jupiter masses. The new study, based on the data collected in 2017, presents the hypothesis that the object is a K or M dwarf star.

By analyzing the escape velocity of HD 131399 Ab, the researchers ruled out the possibility that the object is a bound planet. According to the authors of the paper, the probability that HD 131399 Ab is a background object is about 43,000 times greater than the probability that it is a bound planet.

The team also excluded other hypotheses such as the possibility that HD 131399 Ab is a planet or a planetary-mass object in the process of ejection from the system.

"We note this is very unlikely a priori, since the chance of observing a 16 Myr star just as it is ejecting its planet is very low," the researchers wrote.

According to the team, the most plausible hypothesis is that HD 131399 Ab is a background star. They found that spectra and magnitudes of the object obtained by GPI and the revised data from SPHERE are mostly consistent with a K or a M dwarf, the most probable candidates for a background object.

"When compared to predicted background objects drawn from a galactic model, we find this proper motion to be high, but consistent with the top 4 percent fastest-moving background stars. From our analysis, we conclude that HD 131399 Ab is a background K or M dwarf," the authors concluded.

Evidence that the Directly-Imaged Planet HD 131399 Ab is a Background Star, arXiv:1705.06851 [astro-ph.EP] arxiv.org/abs/1705.06851

Abstract 
We present evidence that the recently discovered, directly-imaged planet HD 131399 Ab is a background star with non-zero proper motion. From new JHK1L' photometry and spectroscopy obtained with the Gemini Planet Imager, VLT/SPHERE, and Keck/NIRC2, and a reanalysis of the discovery data obtained with VLT/SPHERE, we derive colors, spectra, and astrometry for HD 131399 Ab. The broader wavelength coverage and higher data quality allow us to re-investigate its status. Its near-infrared spectral energy distribution excludes spectral types later than L0 and is consistent with a K or M dwarf, which are the most likely candidates for a background object in this direction at the apparent magnitude observed. If it were a physically associated object, the projected velocity of HD 131399 Ab would exceed escape velocity given the mass and distance to HD 131399 A. We show that HD 131399 Ab is also not following the expected track for a stationary background star at infinite distance. Solving for the proper motion and parallax required to explain the relative motion of HD 131399 Ab, we find a proper motion of 12.3 mas/yr. When compared to predicted background objects drawn from a galactic model, we find this proper motion to be high, but consistent with the top 4% fastest-moving background stars. From our analysis we conclude that HD 131399 Ab is a background K or M dwarf.

The new manned version of Mars rovers has been revealed and is likely to be launched by NASA in 2020. Hollywood movies like Tron inspired the researchers to make this new generation of rovers.

The duo, Shanon and Marc Parker, created these rovers in a span of less than five months. The new type of manned Mars rovers will be around 11-feet tall, 13-feet wide and 24-feet long, and will six wheels and an alien design, a report by Pulse Headlines revealed.

The new rovers were built by the Parker brothers from scratch. It is like an SUV which consists of a mock lab where the astronauts can conduct their experiments. The new design of the manned rovers will be revealed soon by NASA.

The inSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) mission is scheduled to be launched on May 5, 2018. It will arrive on the Red Planet on November 28, 2018, and transmit the newly-collected data regarding the emergence of Mars and how it developed over time, to Earth.

Astronauts would be sent to deep space farther than Earth's orbit by 2019 with the help of NASA's Space Launch System.

Also, Earth's conditions and disturbing natural calamities taking place in its ecosystem, like earthquake, would be analysed by the researchers using NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar.

Apart from this, other missions are lined up which the space agency will be carrying out in the future like the NASA Asteroid Redirect Mission, which is scheduled to take place in 2021 when a sample will be collected from an asteroid.

The agency also plans to carry out the Psyche mission by 2022, in which the unique, metallic asteroid -- Psyche -- which orbits Sun between Mars and Jupiter will be examined. Researchers believe that this would provide them with more data about how planets are formed, Science World Report revealed.

Oxford Scientists Suggest That Aliens Aren’t Extinct, Just Hibernating

Oxford Scientists Suggest That Aliens Aren’t Extinct, Just Hibernating

IN BRIEF
Fermi's Paradox has produced a myriad of research, endless debates, and some very creative solutions for why we haven't encountered aliens yet. The latest argues that aliens could be hibernating in order to maximize their computational capabilities.
DasWortgewand/Pixabay

MISSING, OR SLEEPING?

During a lunchtime conversation in 1950, Enrico Fermi, the “architect of the nuclear age” who built the world’s first nuclear reactor, posed a question that has resulted in decades of research and hundreds of published papers: “Where is everybody?”

This is the crystallization of the paradox he perceived (now known as the Fermi Paradox) which questions, “If the universe is  large enough to have more than sufficient opportunity to create more life than what we see on earth, why haven’t we met that alien life yet?” Scientists, like Anders Sandberg, an Oxford neuroscientist, and Milan Ćirković, part of the Astronomical Observatory of Belgrade, have used this as a jumping-off point in their attempts to debunk — or defend — the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations.

Sandberg and Ćirković teamed up with Stuart Armstrong, an AI expert at the Future of Humanity institute, to author  a new paper arguing that alien life is hibernating. Their “aestivation hypothesis” rests on two premises: advanced societies have transitioned to machine-based life, and machines compute faster in cooler conditions. Therefore, they argue, aliens are hibernating until the universe cools so they can develop at a faster rate.

Sandberg and Ćirković explain on their blog that “as the Universe expands, this background temperature will decline exponentially” and “in principle, running processing becomes 10 times more efficient if your computer is 10 times colder (measured in Kelvins).” Because of this aliens are hibernating and waiting for the universe to cool.

They came up with the possible solution while discussing how to maximize the lifespan of a civilization. The theory developed as part of “eschatology considerations of what the best possible outcome for a civilization would be, not directly an urge to solve the Fermi question. However, it does seem to provide one new possible answer to the question.”

OTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Solutions to the Fermi Paradox fall into three categories:

If Our Universe Is So Old and Vast, Then Where Are All the Aliens?Click to View Full Infographic

First, that we are alone and there is no alien life. This could either be because aliens never developed or because they have now died off. Aditya Chopra, from the Australian National University, provided a causal explanation for extinction called the “The Gaian Bottleneck.” He believes that while other life has developed, it was too fragile, and humanity is the only species that has proven persistent enough to survive through The Great Filter (the challenges life faces as it develops, codified by Robin Hanson).

Second, that aliens exist but not here, due to limitations in our methods of communication, our technology, or our comprehension. Michio Kaku details this answer in an interview with The Daily Grail using the analogy of an ant and a highway:

Let’s say we have an anthill in the middle of the forest. And right next to the anthill, they’re building a ten-lane super-highway. And the question is “Would the ants be able to understand what a ten-lane super-highway is?

Third, that there are aliens here, but they are not interacting in an obvious manner. Rather than blaming us primitive humans, this solution suggests the extraterrestrials themselves are being ambiguous. This category holds the hibernation hypothesis and could also be the explanation behind the baffling light fluctuations of the star KIC 8462852, which some have argued could be due to alien interference.

Whatever the explanation — if there even is one — it is a fascinating question to try to answer. But perhaps the next question, and one also worth thinking about, is “what happens when we do meet aliens?”

'I saw aliens and Roswell UFO' CIA agent in shock deathbed confession on Area 51

'I saw aliens and Roswell UFO' CIA agent in shock deathbed confession on Area 51

AN ALLEGED former CIA agent and military officer gave a shocking deathbed "confession" in which he claimed to have seen living extraterrestrials and alien space craft secretly stored in the mysterious Area 51 US Air Force base.

He was sent in to Area 51 on a research mission to report back to President Dwight Eisenhower, who warned of an alien invasion.

The claims were made in a video interview in which the 77-year-old man could be clearly seen, but he was not named.

UFO author Richard Dolan interviewed the man who said he was facing kidney failure if an operation was unsuccessful, and may have just months to live.

He claimed to have served in the US Army, worked for the CIA, and worked on the US Air Force Project Blue Book–on studies into UFOs. 

CIA-Area-51

The interview is with a man who claims to be a former CIA agent shown inside Area 51.

RELATED ARTICLES

His most shocking claim was to have been taken inside Area 51 to see a variety of UFOs allegedly recovered by the US military.

These were said to include a flying saucer said to have crash landed at Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947. 

Area 51 is a heavily guarded US Air Force base deep in the Nevada desert, where tests are carried out on new air craft technology.

But, it is at the centre of many alien conspiracy theories which allege that recovered alien craft that have visited Earth are stored and tested there.

There were alien craft, including the Roswell UFO and live aliens

Alleged former CIA officer

The conspiracy theories were compounded by the fact that the US Government did not acknowledge the base existed until 2013.

Other theories suggest aliens, from the crashed UFOs are secretly kept there as well.

The man says in the video that President Dwight Eisenhower had warned of a threat of Earth being invaded, so he and his superior at the CIA were allowed inside Area 51 to report back to the president. 

He claimed the pair were also taken to the alleged S-4 facility southwest of Area 51 where they observed "live extraterrestrials".

RELATED ARTICLES

Author and UFO researcher Peter Robbins, said of the account: “In my opinion, if it can be confirmed by any relevant supporting documentation, this moving and fascinating account does qualify as an authentic ‘death bed’ testimony from an individual who convincingly claims to have been a CIA officer deeply involved in the matter or crashed and/or recovered craft, and at one time a liaison between the agency and the President (Truman).”

The interview was filmed in 2013, but only released on the Open Minds UFO website, but is being discussed after being shared on other UFO forums.

It is not clear if the man did die soon after the recording.

It comes after a video interview of a new witness to the Roswell crash emerged, as revealed by Express.co.uk.

Une image de la NASA montre une étrange silhouette debout sur la Lune

Une image de la NASA montre une étrange silhouette debout sur la Lune

Mac Slavo

En entrant les coordonnées 27°34’26.35″ N 19°36’4.75″ W dans l’application Google Moon, vous tomberez sur ce qui semble être une silhouette debout sur la Lune.

Bien que la NASA n’ait pas encore répondu aux questions quant à ce dont il pourrait bien s’agir, des chercheurs d’OVNIs ont suggéré (comme vous pouvez vous y attendre) que la silhouette puisse être celle d’une créature extraterrestre.

Wowforreel a dit s’être penché sur l’affaire après avoir reçu un message de la part d’un internaute du nom de Jakenso.

« Cette ombre à la forme irrégulière qu’il a découverte sur Google Moon ressemble à celle d’un objet, ou d’une créature, se tenant debout, a-t-il expliqué à UFO Sighting Daily.

J’ai d’abord pensé que quelque chose avait été griffonné sur l’image, mais après avoir moi-même visité Google Moon, j’ai pu découvrir que l’ombre est bel et bien là. »

Source : Daily Mail

Voici l’image en question :

moon-shadow-man

La silhouette ressemble à une ombre projetée par les formations géologiques à la surface de la Lune.

Mais la blogosphère préfère croire en la présence d’extraterrestres voire même d’une statue de la Grèce antique sur la Lune. The Examiner a même demandé à ses lecteurs d’abandonner toute logique avant d’observer la mystérieuse silhouette.

Bien entendu, cette ombre peut s’expliquer de diverses manières, et notamment par un jeu de lumière.

Mais en laissant de côté ces explications, de quoi pourrait-il bien s’agir ? Il semblerait en effet que l’objet en question se tienne debout et surplombe de quelque distance la surface de la Lune.

Source : Huff Post

Et ce n’est pas là la seule image qui existe d’une présence mystérieuse sur la Lune. Des chercheurs ont découvert toutes sortes d’objets sur le satellite naturel de la Terre, et le suivant pourrait faire froncer bien des sourcils, parce qu’il pourrait potentiellement s’agir d’une base lunaire ou d’un vaisseau non-identifié.

En voici l’image :

moon-ufo-base

 « Est-ce simplement un cratère à la forme étrange ? Ou s’agit-il d’autre chose ?, a-t-il demandé.

Si l’objet est bel et bien là, alors je n’ai aucune idée de ce dont il s’agit. Je n’ai rien trouvé de semblable sur les images d’autres cratères. »

Selon le site web Tech and Gadget News : « Cette gigantesque forme semble être le côté d’un vaisseau spatial triangulaire, similaire à un avion furtif, bien qu’il soit bien plus gros que n’importe quel avion jamais construit sur Terre.

Les formes régulières et circulaires visibles sur le triangle parfait semblent intelligemment conçues. »

Plus intéressant encore, la structure ressemble de très près au phénomène des Lumières de Phoenix observé par des milliers de personnes le 13 mars 1997 :

phoenix-lights-1

24hGold - Une image de la NASA...

Et au Texas en 2008 :

24hGold - Une image de la NASA...

La silhouette de la première image pourrait-elle être celle d’un habitant du vaisseau des Lumières de Phoenix ?

Ou ne s’agit-il que d’un simple rocher qui a été photographié au bon moment et se trouve ressembler à un humanoïde ?

Est-il possible qu’il ne s’agisse ni d’un extraterrestre ni d’un rocher, mais d’un programme spatial secret dans le cadre duquel des vaisseaux et des opérateurs humains ont été déployés sur la Lune ?

Il pourrait s’agir de quelque chose. Ou de rien du tout. A vous d’en juger.

BUITENAARDSE INVASIE ENGELSE WESTKUST LIJKT WERKELIJK BEGONNEN? ( VIDEO )

BUITENAARDSE INVASIE ENGELSE WESTKUST LIJKT WERKELIJK BEGONNEN? ( VIDEO )

Enkele weken geleden schreven wij in een artikel over de mogelijke makers van de graancirkels in Engeland en dat een grote krant zich afvroeg of de buitenaardse invasie in zuidwest Engeland was begonnen. 

Misschien zitten ze daar op een bepaalde manier helemaal niet zo gek ver naast,  want sinds dat bericht zijn de bizarre toestanden in dat gebied alleen maar toegenomen. 



Het gaat dan over de zuidwesthoek van Engeland en waar we iedere keer de bekende namen tegenkomen zoals het graafschap Wiltshire, maar waar de absolute hotspot in dat gebied de stad Bristol is.


xxx

Ongeveer een week geleden werd er door de Engelse Daily Mail veel aandacht besteed aan een opname die was gemaakt door Mike Westlake uit Bristol. 

Boven de huizen is duidelijk een formatie te zien van wat lijkt op drie UFO’s. Het gaat hierbij om de volgende opname. 

. 

Als gevolg hiervan wordt er natuurlijk weer druk gespeculeerd en de Thaise ballonnen en andere varianten zijn dan ook niet van de lucht. Het mainstream publiek in Engeland doet haar uiterste best om een "rationele verklaring" voor deze lichten te vinden. 

De opname op zich is echt, daarover bestaat geen twijfel, maar wel over wat die lichten nu precies zijn. 

Dan, net als iedereen weer net een beetje in slaap is gesukkeld, duiken er via een Amerikaanse website nieuwe beelden op van wat dezelfde UFO’s lijken. 

 

De bovenstaande opname is gemaakt op 23 mei 2017 in Bristol rond half tien in de avond. Het is echter niet helemaal duidelijk wanneer de andere opname van Mike Westlake is gemaakt. In ieder geval ergens rond dezelfde datum en ook daar lijkt het op een tijdstip te zijn dat het begint te schemeren. 

Pal daarop komt ook de Bristol Post met een derde, hele korte video, waarop waarschijnlijk dezelfde formatie te zien is.

Al met al drie verschillende video's en de beelden die teveel op elkaar lijken om toeval te kunnen zijn en bovendien zijn alle opnames gemaakt in dezelfde stad rond dezelfde tijd.

Eind september vorig jaar schreven wij kort over een Engelse politiehelikopter die een UFO filmde vlak bij diezelfde stad Bristol. 

Een Engelse politiehelikopter vliegt enkele dagen geleden boven het Bristol Channel wanneer hun infraroodcamera een rond object waarneemt. 


Het voorval vond plaats afgelopen zaterdagavond rond half tien en het object vloog op een hoogte van ongeveer 300 meter (heel laag dus). 

Ze dachten in eerste instantie te maken te hebben met een soort Thaise lampion, maar bedachten later dat dit niet mogelijk was omdat het object tegen de wind in bewoog.


xxx


xxx

De bemanning heeft geen enkel idee waar ze mee te maken hadden en hebben het object 7 minuten lang kunnen volgen. Ze hebben geprobeerd over te schakelen naar een daglicht-camera, maar daar was niets op te zien. 

Het object was er wel degelijk omdat het hitte afgaf en daardoor werd geregistreerd door de infraroodcamera. 


Wie het uitgebreidere verhaal van deze waarneming wil lezen, kan dat hier doen en er zijn inmiddels ook bewegende beelden van de politiecamera in de helikopter. 

 

Begin dit jaar begonnen al de eerste beschuldigingen te verschijnen in de Engelse pers over een mogelijke cover-up van dit incident en eisten UFO onderzoekers dat er eindelijk openheid van zaken wordt gegeven. 

Wanneer je al het bovenstaande bekijkt en je bedenkt daarbij ook nog eens dat dit allemaal toevallig gebeurt in een gebied waar ieder jaar heel veel graancirkels verschijnen, dan zou een logisch denkend mens zeggen dat er eindelijk een verklaring is voor wie die graancirkels maken. 

Nu alleen er nog achter komen wie of wat die UFO’s onder controle heeft.

NIKOLA TESLA'S TIME TRAVEL EXPERIENCE: 'I COULD SEE THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ALL AT THE SAME TIME'

NIKOLA TESLA'S TIME TRAVEL EXPERIENCE: 'I COULD SEE THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ALL AT THE SAME TIME'

Nikola Tesla was conducting research in 1895 and this was when he got the first indication that space and time might be influenced by using a highly magnetic field.  

TESLA MADE DISCOVERIES BEFORE TOP-SECRET MILITARY PROGRAMS

A part of the admission had come from Tesla experimenting with radio frequencies along with power transmission through the Earth’s atmosphere. The discovery would many years later lead to the Philadelphia experiment along with time travel programs. However, a long time before the top-secret military programs were even thought about Tesla had already made some discoveries that were fascinating in regards to nature of time and the possibilities of being able to travel through time.

The experiments of Tesla in high voltage electricity along with magnetic fields led to him discovering that time and space may be deformed to essentially create a door that may lead to another time. With the discovery, Tesla then went on to discover, through his own personal experiences, that traveling through time came with some real dangers.  

TESLA WAS SAID TO BE HIT BY 3.5 MILLION VOLTS OF ELECTRICITY

The very first experience that Tesla had with traveling in time occurred in March 1895. A New York Herald reporter wrote that he found the inventor sitting in a café after he had just been hit by 3.5 million volts of electricity. The reporter said that Tesla had told him that he would not be very pleasant company to be around due to the fact that he had almost died. He went on to say that a three-foot spark had jumped into the air and hit him on the shoulder. Tesla went on to tell the reporter that if it had not been for his assistant turning the power off straight away he would have been killed.

Tesla went on to tell the reporter that when he was in contact with the resonance from the electromagnetic charge he had found that he went out of his space and time window. He said that he had been able to see the past, the present and the future at the very same time. He admitted that he had been paralyzed in the electromagnetic field and so he had been unable to help himself. Thankfully his assistant had been beside him and had been able to turn off the power before any severe and permanent damage had been done.

INCIDENT SAID TO BE REPEATED IN PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT BY US NAVY

Many years later the repetition of the exact same incident occurred during the Philadelphia Experiment. However, this led to sailors being left outside of the window space reference for a long time and this, of course, had results that were disastrous. 

The Philadelphia Experiment was the alleged military experiment which was said to have been carried out by the US Navy in 1943. It was said that the escort the USS Eldridge had become invisible to enemies. However, the US Navy has always said that no such experiment happened and the claims of the ship becoming invisible did not conform to physical laws.

PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CLAIMS TO HAVE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF INTELLIGENT EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS

PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CLAIMS TO HAVE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF INTELLIGENT EXTRATERRESTRIAL BEINGS

With NASA almost being in the backyard of Houston it is no surprise that it has earned the nickname of Space City. Now a man is taking that name to higher levels as Derrel Sims, known as the Alien Hunter, says that he has physical evidence that comes from outer space.

Sims is a private investigator and claims to have been a G-Man who used his skills for understanding alien abductions. He said that he comes from an intelligence background and has worked for the CIA during secret operations.  

Sims claims there are 1,950 cases around the globe and said that there was one instance where a lady came back after being abducted with an implant in her eye and that implant fell out of her eye and onto a desk in front of her boss. The woman’s boss collected the implant and gave it to Sims, who still has it today.

SIMS CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN VISITED BY ALIENS REGULARLY

Sims interest in aliens began when an alien supposedly visited him when he was a child and continued to do so up to Sims reaching the age of 17. He did say that the majority of recollections of aliens along with UFO sightings are theoretical and due to this he collects physical evidence and then examines it, from those who claim that they have had a genuine alien encounter.

He said that if the people were being abducted by aliens there would be ET traces found on the people through infrared technology. Sims said that he detects the temperature on the skin and there is a residue that comes from other planets that is also detectable.

UNEXPLAINED BUMPS, CUTS AND SCARS MAY BE SIGNS OF ALIEN TRANSPLANTS

Sims went on to say that an alien entity often leave bumps, lumps, scars and cuts on those who have been abducted and he went on to say that physical evidence that has been recovered often suggests that aliens could be biological and they may have a level of metallic in their biology.

He then showed some spheres which he claims to have come from a young girl who, when she sneezed, blew them out, following an alien visiting her and spraying something up her nostrils.

While you might have laughed at the antics of the crew in Ghostbusters, hunting down ghosts and capturing them, Sims seem to be the real life Ghostbuster, but this time it’s not ghosts but aliens that he is hunting down and capturing proof of.

NASA'S MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER SPOTTED A STRANGE GIGANTIC HOLE ON MARS

NASA'S MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER SPOTTED A STRANGE GIGANTIC HOLE ON MARS

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter of NASA has been scanning the surface of Mars for 11 years and it might have been a good assumption in thinking that it would have seen everything there is to see. However, a photograph that was taken recently over the South Pole of the planet has revealed something that even NASA cannot explain.

HUGE PIT SEEN ON TERRAIN OF MARS  

The whole surface of Mars has many craters and depressions but a huge pit has been seen nestling amongst the terrain that looks like Swiss cheese, of frozen carbon dioxide that is melting and which seems to be deeper than the average hole, which has left astronomers trying to work out what it is.

There may be many things that might make holes in the rocky terrain of Mars. Craters have been caused by half a million meteorite impacts; deep pits have come from lava tubes that have collapsed, while giant chasms have been created from the surface by ancient floods and funnels left when volcanic activity has melted ice.

CIRCULAR DEPRESSION IS A MYSTERY TO NASA

The latest discoveries on the great pyramid of Khufu, which made it possible to confirm in an extraordinary way the authenticity of the message conveyed by the builders, that the Antarctic continent was the famous Atlantis and was about 12000 years more in the North, close to the African continent, and after a great cataclysm, the continent slip towards the south pole.

This testimony corresponds exactly to the theory of Charles Hapgood and supported by Albert Einstein, who succeeded in giving Charles Hapgood a scientific explanation for this very violent phenomenon.  

Even if some geological evidence and the discovery of old navigation maps come to confirm this theory, this one met a strong opposition of the scientific since according to them the Antarctic is covered with ice for several millions of years.

Hundreds of comments explaining that our theory is extraordinary but that, unfortunately, it is scientifically impossible since no plant life and still less a civilization can survive on a continent covered with ice for millions of years. A little tired of hearing the same objection, we decided to carry out research to find out how deep these traces of vegetation were discovered and how they estimated their date because they contradict the message of the Batisseurs, We are certain of its authenticity.

What we found was amazing and exceeded all expectations. They definitively erase the false ideas we have been invariably and continually broadcast on the Antarctic and its climate.

Thanks to authentic documents and excerpts from scientific team videos that have worked in Antarctica, we will show you the scientific evidence that this continent has been the victim of an extraordinary catastrophe which has decimated all its vegetation and probably, as we Suppose, the civilization that inhabited it ...

A FAMOUS ASTRONOMER SPOTS 2 UFOS IN THE SKY THAT LEFT HIM BAFFLED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 40 YEARS

A FAMOUS ASTRONOMER SPOTS 2 UFOS IN THE SKY THAT LEFT HIM BAFFLED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 40 YEARS

Roberto Antezana is a level headed and famous astrophysicist in Chile, and generally, he is able to explain everything that he sees. However, he has now talked about something that he saw on May 31, 2017, which has baffled him and this was two mysterious spots that appeared in his telescope flying discontinuously.

Roberto lives in Santiago de Chile, and he makes some amazing photos of phenomena that he has captured in the sky, which he has taken from the tops of the mountains which surround his city.

SIGHTING LEAVES ASTROPHYSICIST BAFFLED  

On May 31, 2017, he revealed his first experience of a strange phenomenon that he saw in the sky. Roberto has seen many thousands of phenomena during his 40 years in observing deserts, mountains, and observatories all around the globe. On May 31 he saw the only thing that he has not been able to explain and which has left him totally baffled.  

He said that he saw a mysterious object that was moving West to East and it was moving at speeds that differed. He said that it would accelerate and then slow down and it did this at least twice while he was watching. Roberto went on to say that at zenith it has stopped for five minutes and then it began accelerating to the East once again. Roberto said that he watched the strange object for around 35 minutes in total.

ROBERTO DOES NOT THINK IT WAS THE QZS-2 SATELLITE FROM JAPAN

Roberto said that he had seen two of the bright spots inside a nebula that was misty, which had been created by the weird artifact. Some people suggested that what he had witnessed was the launch of the QZS-2 satellite from Japan that was released at 00: 17 UTC. To this Roberto asks if a rocket would be able to cover half of the planet in only 43 minutes. He also questioned the fact that satellites would not be able to accelerate and then stop and then produce two queues similar to comets.  

Roberto does not think that it was the satellite that he saw as it would not move at speeds that differed, accelerate and then slow down, twice, while he was watching and even stop dead in the sky hovering for around five minutes before then heading to the East again accelerating. It also would not have been there in front of him to observe for about 35 minutes. But if not the satellite, then what was it? This is something that Roberto has not been able to work out.

TOP SECRET: HAS THE ROSWELL MYSTERY FINALLY BEEN "SOLVED"?

TOP SECRET: HAS THE ROSWELL MYSTERY FINALLY BEEN "SOLVED"?

According to shock claims, the famous Roswell incident is not as we thought it was. Was the crashed UFO of extraterrestrial origin? Were the dead bodies that of alien beings? The answer could be no.

According to the new book by British UFO hunter Nick Redfern, in an interview that he had with an elderly woman working in Oak Ridge National Laboratory. She said that after World War 2 the US military began experimenting with new technology brought from both Japan and Germany.  

They used human guinea pigs to experiment out a new kind of aircraft to test the rigors of high altitude exposure. These human test subjects were Japanese, handicapped people and other prisoners.

The strange symbols found in some of the debris that UFO researchers thought to be Alien hieroglyphics could have been simply Japanese characters.

µCould this mean that the bodies retrieved from the wreckage were human and not extraterrestrial?

Former Governor of Arizona: 'Aliens came to my state in UFO during Phoenix Lights’

Former Governor of Arizona: 'Aliens came to my state in UFO during Phoenix Lights’

A FORMER Governor of Arizona has spoken out about the night of the Phoenix Lights Incident 20 years after the mass UFO sighting, claiming he too saw aliens.

Never before seen footage of Fife Symington, 71, who was governor of Arizona from 1990 to 1998, reveals he was a witness to one of the world's biggest ever mass UFO sightings, and he believes it was extraterrestrial.

The Phoenix Lights incident remains one of the world's most perplexing mass UFO sightings on record, and still causes intrigue among the alien research community, even though many sceptics claim to have debunked the case.

It became a phenomenon in March 13 1997 when thousands of people reported seeing huge triangular UFOs drifting over Arizona and the city of Phoenix.

The size of them varied from a Boeing 747 to multiple football fields.

Mr Symignton made the confession during an interview with UFO investigator James Fox in 2006.

But now Mr Fox has released never before seen footage from the interview to coincide with it being the twentieth anniversary year.

The former governor believes the lights were of alien origins.

In the newly-released footage, Symington says he believes the UFO sighting was escalated up the chain of command.

He said: “Issues like this go up the chain of command all the way to the Pentagon.

“We called the Pentagon…I think they knew there had been sightings, but they weren’t talking about it.”

Mr Symington described the official Air Force explanation - that the UFOs were flares - as “total bunk.”

He said: “I have seen high altitude flares before. There is no way they were flares.

“It has never been explained.”

During the interview, Mr Fox said some people criticised Mr Symington's own handling of the incident at the time.

This prompted the former governor to open up about being a witness.

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

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

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

"This is what the witness saw in that day.

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

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

"Golden Knights were often mistaken for UFOs.”

Last month Hollywood legend Kurt Russell revealed on the BBC One Show that he had seen the Phoenix Lights as he landed at an airport on the night of the incident.

NASA's Juno Spacecraft Just Shattered What We Knew About Jupiter

NASA's Juno Spacecraft Just Shattered What We Knew About Jupiter

The gas giant is getting really weird.

GEMMA CONROY

Just when we thought we had Jupiter all figured out, NASA's Juno spacecraft reveals new results that challenge almost every assumption we've made about the gas giant.

The first, said Juno's principal investigator said Juno's principal investigator from Juno's initial two flybys back in August 2016 describe giant cyclones, a super powerful magnetic field, and weird northern lights that behave totally different to our own.

The discoveries were made when the basketball court-sized spacecraft swooped within 5,000 kilometres (3,106 miles) of the cloud tops, and drifted over the planet's poles.

"What we've learned so far is Earth-shattering. Or should I say, Jupiter-shattering," said Juno's principal investigator at the South Research Institute, Scott Bolton. "Discoveries about its composition, magnetosphere, and poles are as stunning as the photographs the mission is generating."

After its arduous five-year journey from Earth, Juno finally locked into Jupiter's orbit in July 2016 to catch a closer glimpse at what lies within the planet's swirling clouds.

The probe captured some mind-blowing first images of Jupiter's giant oval-shaped storms around the north and south poles. It also recorded some eerie sounds when it careened into the planet's enormous magnetosphere, which contracts and expands according to solar wind movements.

But the spacecraft didn't travel 2.8 billion kilometres into space to take pretty picturesand record weird noises. Juno's real mission has been to create a detailed map of the gas giant, which will help scientists learn more about how our Solar System's planets, including Earth, formed around 4.5 billion years ago.

The probe also collected data on Jupiter's inner structure, atmosphere and magnetic field with its eight instruments.

The first study, led by Bolton, describes the massive storms and cyclones clustered around Jupiter's previously unseen poles. The images revealed chaotic oval-shaped features that are completely different from Saturn's polar regions.

When the researchers created a time-lapse of the images, they discovered that these swirling ovals were gigantic cyclones.

Some of these mammoth cyclones reached up to 1,400 kilometres (900 miles) wide - 10 times larger than Earth's biggest cyclones. The storms also reached close to 100 kilometres high - up out of Jupiter's atmosphere.

But the real surprise came from beneath the clouds, when Juno measured the thermal structure of the Jovian atmosphere.

When the probe beamed microwaves into the deep atmosphere, the data showed signs of strange ammonia plumes welling up from the equator, forming giant weather systems that extend well beneath the cloud tops.

 "It resembles a deeper, wider version of the air currents that rise from Earth's equator and generate the trade winds," said Bolton.

Things got even weirder in the second study, when Juno took a closer look at Jupiter's magnetic field - the largest object in the Solar System.

While researchers were well aware of the power and enormity of Jupiter's magnetic field, they were surprised to find that it was twice as strong as the models predicted.

Measuring at 7.766 Gauss, the region the spacecraft examined was 10 times more powerful than Earth's magnetic field, which sits at a mere 0.66 Gauss at the South Pole.

The magnetic field is also more dynamic than previously thought, with an uneven, patchy distribution.

Speaking to ScienceAlert, Juno's deputy lead investigator, Jack Connerney, said that the planet's lumpy magnetic field indicates that it may originate from processes close to the planet's surface.

This is vastly different to Earth's magnetic field, which is stemmed from the hot liquid iron core deep below the crust.

"The magnetic field appears to have a much richer spatial variation than what we were expecting based on what previous spacecraft had found," Connerney, who led the second study, told ScienceAlert.

"The most exciting thing about studying Jupiter is that, compared to Earth, we get a more detailed view of how magnetic fields work."

Taking a closer look at the magnetosphere - the space around a planet that is controlled by the magnetic field - revealed yet another surprise.

When Juno passed through the magnetosphere in June 2016, it encountered the planet's bow shock - a shock wave that occurs when the magnetic field begins redirecting the solar winds away.

But the probe only passed through one bow shock compared to the many it encountered on other orbits. Connerney said that this is because Jupiter's magnetosphere was expanding at the time of Juno's approach.

"The bow shock varies in its distance from Jupiter, expanding when the solar wind is weak or slow, and contracting when the solar wind is strong," said Connerney.

Stranger still were Jupiter's stunning violet-blue aurorae, which were detected by Juno when it hovered over the poles.

Juno1

J.E.P. Connerney et al., Science (2017)

On Earth, the Northern and Southern lights occur when charged particles from the solar wind are funnelled down through the magnetosphere into the polar regions.

Connerney and his colleagues thought Jupiter's light-show was due to a similar downward flow of electrons pouring into the Jovian atmosphere.

But Juno's instruments revealed a whole other story. The Jovian aurorae are powered by the electrons being sucked out of the planet's polar region, which basically means that Jupiter powers its light-show all on its own.

"It's a 180-degree reversal of what we were originally assuming," Connerney told ScienceAlert. "We never expected to see such strong auroral emissions caused by electrons being channelled out of the polar region."

And all of this is just the beginning. Juno has completed 5 out of 33 flyby investigations on its mission to map the giant of the Solar System.

Its next flyby will take a look at the iconic Great Red Spot on July 11, where it will unravel more of the planet's weird wonders.

The two studies were published today in a special edition of Science. You can find them here and here.

A Star System Only 10 Light-Years Away is Our Mini-Doppelganger

A Star System Only 10 Light-Years Away is Our Mini-Doppelganger

 
IN BRIEF
Only a little more than 10 light-years away is a glimpse into the past of our solar system. The nearby star system resembles an approximation of what our solar system may have looked like in its early development.

Astronomers are understandably fascinated with the Epsilon Eridani system. For one, this star system is in close proximity to our own, at a distance of about 10.5 light-years from the Solar System. Second, it has been known for some time that it contains two asteroid belts and a large debris disk. And third, astronomers have suspected for many years that this star may also have a system of planets.

On top of all that, a new study by a team of astronomers has indicated that Epsilon Eridani may be what our own Solar System was like during its younger days. Relying on NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) aircraft, the team conducted a detailed analysis of the system that showed how it has an architecture remarkably similar to what astronomer believe the Solar System once looked like.

Led by Kate Su – an Associate Astronomer with the Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona – the team includes researchers and astronomers from the Department of Physics & Astronomy of Iowa State University, the Astrophysical Institute and University Observatory at the University of Jena (Germany), and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Ames Research Center.

For the sake of their study – the results of which were published in The Astronomical Journal under the title “The Inner 25 AU Debris Distribution in the Epsilon Eri System” – the team relied on data obtained by a flight of SOFIA in January 2015. Combined with detailed computer modeling and research that went on for years, they were able to make new determinations about the structure of the debris disk.

As already noted, previous studies of Epsilon Eridani indicated that the system is surrounded by rings made up of materials that are basically leftovers from the process of planetary formation. Such rings consist of gas and dust, and are believed to contain many small rocky and icy bodies as well — like the Solar System’s own Kuiper Belt, which orbits our Sun beyond Neptune.

Careful measurements of the disk’s motion has also indicated that a planet with nearly the same mass as Jupiter circles the star at a distance comparable to Jupiter’s distance from the Sun. However, based on prior data obtained by the NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists were unable to determine the position of warm material within the disk — i.e. the dust and gas — which gave rise to two models.

In one, warm material is concentrated into two narrow rings of debris that orbit the star at distances corresponding respectively to the Main Asteroid Belt and Uranus in our Solar System. According to this model, the largest planet in the system would likely be associated with an adjacent debris belt. In the other, warm material is in a broad disk, is not concentrated into asteroid belt-like rings, and is not associated with any planets in the inner region.

Using the new SOFIA images, Su and her team were able to determine that the warm material around Epsilon Eridani is arranged like the first model suggests. In essence, it is in at least one narrow belt, rather than in a broad continuous disk. As Su explained in a NASA press release:

“The high spatial resolution of SOFIA combined with the unique wavelength coverage and impressive dynamic range of the FORCAST camera allowed us to resolve the warm emission around eps Eri, confirming the model that located the warm material near the Jovian planet’s orbit. Furthermore, a planetary mass object is needed to stop the sheet of dust from the outer zone, similar to Neptune’s role in our solar system. It really is impressive how eps Eri, a much younger version of our solar system, is put together like ours.”

These observations were made possible thanks to SOFIA’s on-board telescopes, which have a greater diameter than Spitzer – 2.5 meters (100 inches) compared to Spitzer’s 0.85 m (33.5 inches). This allowed for far greater resolution, which the team used to discern details within the Epsilon Eridani system that were three times smaller than what had been observed using the Spitzer data.

In addition, the team made use of SOFIA’s powerful mid-infrared camera – the Faint Object infraRed CAmera for the SOFIA Telescope (FORCAST). This instrument allowed the team to study the strongest infrared emissions coming from the warm material around the star which are otherwise undetectable by ground-based observatories – at wavelengths between 25-40 microns.

These observations further indicate that the Epsilon Eridani system is much like our own, albeit in younger form. In addition to having asteroid belts and a debris disk that is similar to our Main Belt and Kuiper Belt, it appears that it likely has more planets waiting to be found within the spaces between. As such, the study of this system could help astronomers to learn things about the history of our own Solar System.

Massimo Marengo, one of he co-authors of the study, is an Associate Professor with the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Iowa State University. As he explained in a University of Iowa press release:

“This star hosts a planetary system currently undergoing the same cataclysmic processes that happened to the solar system in its youth, at the time in which the moon gained most of its craters, Earth acquired the water in its oceans, and the conditions favorable for life on our planet were set.”

At the moment, more studies will need to be conducted on this neighboring stars system in order to learn more about its structure and confirm the existence of more planets. And it is expected that the deployment of next-generation instruments – like the James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled for launch in October of 2018 – will be extremely helpful in that regard.

“The prize at the end of this road is to understand the true structure of Epsilon Eridani’s out-of-this-world disk, and its interactions with the cohort of planets likely inhabiting its system,” Marengo wrote in a newsletter about the project. “SOFIA, by its unique ability of capturing infrared light in the dry stratospheric sky, is the closest we have to a time machine, revealing a glimpse of Earth’s ancient past by observing the present of a nearby young sun.”

In November of 1632, the townspeople of Lützen, Germany, were stuck with a grim task: They had to bury some 9,000 soldiers who were left dead on a battlefield after a bloody fight during the Thirty Years' War.

Archaeologists located the site of the Battle of Lützen in 2006 after a metal-detector survey turned up about 3,000 projectiles, ammunitions and other objects from the fight. A trench excavated in 2011 then revealed a mass grave. To prevent the burial site from being looted by treasure hunters and eroded by bad weather, the scientists didn't excavate the skeletons on the site. Instead, they lifted the remains out of the ground in a 55-ton block of soil, split into two. [Read more about the mass grave.]

UFO sightings: Files explain why MoD closed down special desk

UFO sightings: Files explain why MoD closed down special desk

An official MoD statement from the time said the department had “no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial life”.

It went on: “In order to make best use of defence resources, we have decided that from December 1 2009 the dedicated UFO hotline answer-phone service and email address will be withdrawn. [The] MoD will no longer respond to reported UFO sightings or investigate them.”

‘Living with an alien’

Among the 4,400 pages of documents released are:

  • A letter from a school child in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, to the MoD, dated January 2009, asking if aliens exist after she had seen some strange lights, and including a drawing of an alien in a UFO waving
  • A report received via the UFO hotline by someone who had been “living with an alien” in Carlisle for some time
  • A report from a man from Cardiff who claimed a UFO abducted his dog, and took his car and tent, while he was camping with friends in 2007
  • “Green, red and white lights” reportedly seen over the Houses of Parliament in London in February 2008
  • “Discoid” shapes in photographs of Stonehenge, in an email dated in January 2009
  • Photographs taken at Blackpool Pier which show an aircraft that had not been seen at the time the picture was taken in October 2008

The files show the number of UFO sightings reported to the MoD trebled in the year the desk was closed.

The letter from a school child was sent after she saw strange lights

According to a briefing in the files, during the years 2000-07 the ministry received an average of 150 reports per year.

But by November 2009, it had already received 520 reports that year, as well as 97 Freedom of Information requests on UFOs.

Possible reasons for the increase included the rising popularity for releasing Chinese lanterns during celebrations.

Dr David Clarke, author of the book The UFO Files, said the “last pieces of the puzzle” had been revealed with the insight into the final days of the UFO desk.

“The last files from the UFO desk are now all in the public domain. People at home can read them and draw their own conclusions about whether ‘the truth’ is in these files or still out there,” he said.

The 44 Most Astonishing Archaeological Finds In History - PART I

The 44 Most Astonishing Archaeological Finds In History - PART I

The dream of every archaeologist is to make a find that changes the way we think about history. Something ancient, unexpected and marvelous. While most archaeology isn’t as exciting as it’s portrayed in movies, some of it is. These archaeological discoveries were all truly incredible. Many of them pose mysteries that remain unsolved.

For starters, this claw, found in 1986 in a cave on New Zealand’s Mount Owen, was puzzling to people. Was it the discarded claw of some unknown monster? No, it turned out to be a very well-preserved Upland Moa claw. The Upland Moa was an enormous prehistoric bird.

HOBBITS

live__1492019992_107.143.96.141.jpg?w=710
livescience.com

2003 was one of the most earth-shaking years in the history of anthropology and archaeology. It was the year scientists discovered the remains of a small hominid species that has been colloquially named “Hobbit” on the island of Flores in the Philippines. The Hobbit’s proper name is Homo floresiensis. They stood about three and a half feet tall and, perhaps most remarkably of all, only went extinct 12,000 years ago. Some people speculate that the region’s “Orang Pendek” sightings, the South Asian version of Bigfoot, may indicate relic populations of Hobbits still living today.

CHICHEN ITZA

blog.fairmormon.org

Chichen Itza was a large Mayan city that was built well before the arrival of Columbus. The city was built in what is now Yucatán State in Mexico. It boasts a magnificent pyramid, and is one of Mexico’s most-visited tourism sites. Its architecture is surprisingly diverse, probably a reflection of the city boasting the most culturally heterogenous population of the pre-Columbian world.

THE PIRI REIS MAP

Wikimedia

The Piri Reis Map is a remarkably accurate map of Europe and Northern Africa that was named after the cartographer who assembled it. Reis drew the map using fragments of many other maps as reference. It was drawn sometime in the early part of the 16th century.

DEAD SEA SCROLLS

Faclan

The Dead Sea Scrolls are the most important religious discovery of the 20th Century. The scrolls were written between 408 BC and 318 AD. There are 981 of them, which add a great deal of apocrypha to the Biblical canon.

ROMAN BATHHOUSES

Open Buildings

Archaeologists made a shocking discovery underneath bathhouses of Roman antiquity. They found collections of baby bones in the sewers built beneath them. Killing babies that were seen as unfit was a common practice in Sparta, but not in Rome. The find suggests that the Romans took a grisly note from their Spartan neighbors.

SACSAYHUAMAN

Amusing Planet

The Sacsayhuaman is a walled complex that was built by the Incans outisde of Cusco, Peru. The walls are an engineering marvel. They are constructed from slabs of stone that were so precisely cut that there is zero gap between them.

THE BAGHDAD BATTERY

The Event Chronicle

Like something out of an X-Files episode, archaeologists discovered an artifact of what they believe to be an ancient battery. The so-called “Baghdad Battery” actually probably worked. The vessels were able to produce a low-level electric charge. If enough of them were used together, they could have powered something. But power what?

POMPEII

Biblical Israel Tours

The Roman city of Pompeii was destroyed in 79 AD by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The volcano’s ash blanketed the city, trapping and preserving its residents in the postures they held when they died. A Spanish military engineer named Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre found the remains of the nearby city Herculaneum. Ten years later, Pompeii was found by Giuseppe Fiorelli.

ALTAMARIA

Art Discovery

When you think of cave paintings, you probably picture crude pictograms of stick figures throwing spears at animals that look like they were drawn by someone in kindergarten. But cave paintings found in Altamaria by Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola prove that ancient humans were capable of great works of art. The figures were so sophisticated that many scientists refused to believe that they actually dated to the Paleolithic era. Carbon dating proved them wrong.

KNOSSOS

Life In Crete

Knossos is best known as the location of the Minotaur’s Labyrinth. The city was discovered in 1878 by Arthur Evans and Minos Kalokairinos. Buildings at the city’s entrance bore images of a bull, leading researchers to believe that Knossos is the location where the Minotaur legend originated.

THE PILATE STONE

The Pilate Stone

This find seems to corroborate the story of Pontius Pilate as a real, living person. The Pilate Stone was discovered in Judea, in the Caesarea region. The stone, which was likely used as a staircase in an Ancient Roman theater, bears an inscription that roughly translates as“To the Divine Augusti [this] Tiberieum … Pontius Pilate … prefect of Judea … has dedicated [this].”

THE OLDUVAI GORGE

Evolved Safaris

Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge is one of the largest archaeological sites on the planet. The gorge runs for about thirty miles through deep ravines, which bear the markings and artifacts of ancient hominid occupants. The gorge has produced multiple animal bones with hominid tooth marks on them, as well as multiple samples of rock art.

HAGAR QIM

Famous Wonders

The Hagar Qim is a group of freestanding structures that was built about a thousand years before the Egyptian pyramids. They also predate Stonehenge. Hagar Qim was found in the early 1800’s.

ROMAN DODECAHEDRONS

The Apricity Forum

The Romans were fond of metal “dodecahedron” sculptures, and nobody knows why. The sculptures, all twelve sided and hexagonal, are found throughout the ancient Roman empire. It is totally unclear what their purpose was. Some think they were used to measure distance, others think they were candle holders or simply decorative.

AFRICAN SPEARHEADS

Pinterest

Finding spearheads isn’t anything particularly remarkable in the world of archaeology. But these spearheads, found in South Africa, were. They date to around 200,000 years ago, and prove that humans used tools much earlier in our history than previously supposed.

GALILEE BOAT

Live Science

This boat was found in the Sea of Galilee by two brothers, Moshe and Yuval Lufan, during a drought that dropped water levels. The boat was dated back to the first century AD, and would have been typical of the kind of boat used during the time of Jesus.

The boat was 27 feet long and 7.5 feet long. Researchers kept it in a chemical bath for seven years to mitigate any further decomposition. It’s now displayed at the Yigal Allon Museum in Kibbutz Ginosar.

MARCAHUASI

Our Ancient World

Marcahuasi is a controversial archaeological find. Depending on who you ask, it’s either a series of stone carvings meant to look like human faces, or it’s a series of rocks that have eroded naturally and our brains interpret incorrectly as artifice. The figures were discovered in 1952 by Daniel Ruzo, who made various specious claims about how the site was selected by ancient peoples as a place to preserve human knowledge through cycles of extinction.

ANDREWSARCHUS

AMNH

During an archaeological excursion into Mongolia in 1923 and 1924, the naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews discovered an enormous skull of a previously unknown animal. The animal would be later named Adrewsarchus, in his honor. It was a large prehistoric mammal, that probably weighed between two and four thousand pounds. It is believed to have had the strongest jaws of any mammal in history, but not much is known about its habits.

DORSET VIKINGS

Ancient Origins

Workers on a railroad in Dorset discovered this mass grave of ancient Viking warriors. The Vikings were all beheaded. Researchers at first thought that the grave was the result of a raid, but the beheadings were too clean to have been weathered in combat, and were done from the front, which was atypical. We still don’t know what happened.

COSTA RICAN STONE SPHERES

crystalink.com

Isla del Caño in Costa Rica is the site of an alien-seeming architectural mystery. In the Diquís Delta, there is a collection of large, perfectly spherical volcanic stones. Nobody has any idea how or why they were made. Some speculate that the Chibchan people may have used them to adorn the homes of chieftains. The stones were designated a World Heritage Site in 2014.

THE ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM

perseus.gr

This puzzling artifact was found in 1901, by a team of archaeologists who recovered it from a Greek shipwreck. The Mechanism is roughly two thousand years old, and features elaborate gearworks that bear strange inscriptions. Researchers believe it may have been used as an astrological timepiece. It was an extraordinarily sophisticated piece of engineering for the time period when it was made.

THE TERRACOTTA ARMY

Flickr

The terracotta army of China was discovered completely by accident. Farmers in the Shaanxi province just happened to stumble upon the archaeological marvel. The army’s soldiers are life sized, meant to guard the emperor after his death.

STONEHENGE

thetelegraph.com

Stonehenge is one of the most famous archaeological sites on the planet. Aided, perhaps, by its association with Spinal Tap. The henge was constructed by Druids on a Wiltshire, England moor. Radiocarbon dating has determined the henge to have been constructed sometime around 3,000 BC.

STONE ANIMAL TRAPS

theamusingplanet.com

If you saw this from the air, it would be easy to leap to the conclusion that it was made by aliens. Well, maybe not easy, but the thought would certainly cross your mind. Rock formations like this one are found across deserts in the Middle East, especially in Jordan, Egypt and Israel. They were constructed by ancient peoples to trap large game animals.

THE NAZCA LINES

ancientsummit.com

Long claimed as evidence for Earthside visitations from aliens, the Nazca lines are, regardless of their origins, beautiful. They are found in southern Peru, and depict animals, people and plants. The area’s red topsoil, when stripped away, reveals a lighter sediment below. Their intended purpose is unknown, but may have had something to do with cross-tribal communication.

THE PYRAMIDS

bmktcn.com

While pyramids have been built by ancient peoples in multiple parts of the world, the Egyptian pyramids are by far the most famous. There are 138 pyramids in Egypt, but the ones most familiar to us are in Cairo. They are also the largest. The pyramids were built as tombs for the pharaohs, and have inspired a long history of myth that often overshadows the structures themselves.

THE SHROUD OF TURIN

churchmilitant.com

The Shroud of Turin is a piece of cloth that appears to bear the likeness of Jesus Christ. Many people believe it to have been Christ’s burial garment. Radiocarbon dating conducted on the shroud in the 1980’s placed its creation to sometime during the Middle Ages, well after an historical Christ would have lived. The Shroud continues to be controversial – the Catholic Church has neither endorsed nor condemned it as a genuine religious artifact.

GOBEKLI TEPE

nationalgeographicmagazine.com

Gobekli Tepe is a temple found in Turkey’s Southern Anatolia region. It was found, incredibly, in 1996, by a team of German archaeologists. They originally thought that it was a collection of neolithic sanctuaries, but nobody has offered a conclusive theory about what its original purpose was. The site is 11,000 years old, making the architecture on display remarkably advanced.

THE COPPER SCROLL

cocsermons.net

Of all the Dead Sea Scrolls uncovered, the copper scroll is perhaps the most impressive. It is also like an artifact out of a kids’ action-adventure movie. The scroll describes a huge stockpile of gold and silver, but doesn’t give any clues as to where it can be found. Archaeologists generally agree that the scroll was made around 70 AD.

KING TUT

New York Daily News

King Tut’s tomb was found by a British archaeologist in 1922. It was a huge story at the time, which captivated the attention of people across the world. The tomb was full of riches, as well as Tut himself, sealed in an ornate sarcophagus. Amazingly, forensic examination of Tut’s remains show that at some point, his body was on fire. Researchers speculate that his embalming may not have gone entirely according to plan.

THE VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT

BBC

The Voynich Manuscript is one of the most bizarre books ever authored. It was written sometime in the early 15th Century, possibly in northern Italy during the Renaissance. It is named after Wilfrid Voynich, a Polish book vendor who purchased it in 1912. The Manuscript’s 240 surviving pages display fantastical illustrations and text written in a totally unknown, totally indecipherable (as of yet) language. Cryptographers have been banging their heads against it for over a hundred years now and nobody has ever decoded it.

THE ROSETTA STONE

BBC

The Rosetta Stone was one of the most important archaeological finds ever made. A French soldier came across it in Egypt in 1799. The stone tablet displayed three blocks of text, a decree of King Ptolmey V issued around 200 BC, translated into Egyptian hieroglyphics, Ancient Greek and Demotic Script. It was the key that allowed us to decipher hieroglyphics.

The 44 Most Astonishing Archaeological Finds In History - PART II

The 44 Most Astonishing Archaeological Finds In History - PART II

The dream of every archaeologist is to make a find that changes the way we think about history. Something ancient, unexpected and marvelous. While most archaeology isn’t as exciting as it’s portrayed in movies, some of it is. These archaeological discoveries were all truly incredible. Many of them pose mysteries that remain unsolved.

For starters, this claw, found in 1986 in a cave on New Zealand’s Mount Owen, was puzzling to people. Was it the discarded claw of some unknown monster? No, it turned out to be a very well-preserved Upland Moa claw. The Upland Moa was an enormous prehistoric bird.

SANXINGDUI

ancientorigins.com

Around the world, there are certain archaeological sites that yield a disproportionately large amount of finds for their size. The ancient city of Sanxingdui in Sichuan, China is one such place. The city was occupied around the 12th Century BC, and contains a huge amount of Bronze Age artifacts. It was first discovered in 1929. It was shaped like a trapezoid and was surrounded by broad canals that doubled as both irrigation and defense.

EASTER ISLAND – MOAI

Explora

The Easter Islands are best known for the enormous human stone figures that decorate them. It is still unknown how the island’s residents could have constructed such enormous statues, or why.

KHATT SHEBIB

Daily Mail

Khatt Shebib is an ancient wall that was built in Jordan. When it was first constructed, the wall was only 3 feet and change high. People are still speculating about what purpose the wall could possibly have served. It is now in very poor condition. Pottery found at the wall dates back to 312 BC.

MYSTERIOUS STONE CIRCLES

jordantours.com

Unlike the stone arrangements that were built to trap game animals, researchers are still in the dark over what these stone circles in Jordan and Syria were meant for. There are eleven circles in total, averaging about 1,300 feet in diameter.

THE COCHNO STONE

theurbanprehistorian.wordpress.com

Glasgow, Scotland is home to an archaeological oddity called the Cochno Stone. The Stone is 43 feet by 26 feet, and is about 5,000 years old. Its surface was marked with swirls, called ‘cups and ring marks,’ that have been found at various archaeological sites around the world. The Cochno Stone was discovered in 1887.

STONE PITS

history.com

In 2015, during a radar sweep of the area surrounding Stonehenge, scientists made a remarkable discovery. They found deep pits that likely once held up huge wooden posts. The posts may have formed an arena.

UNDERWATER MOUND IN THE SEA OF GALILEE

ancientorigins.com

In a truly puzzling find, researchers discovered a huge stone structure underneath the Sea of Galilee in 2003. The structure, 32 feet high and 230 feet across, is most likely composed of stacked rocks.

THE ROMAN JAR

lifescience.com

This somewhat inauspicious-looking jar, found in a Museum of Ontario storage facility, is actually quite remarkable. The jar, which dates to Roman times, was probably used as a lamp, or as a cage for a small animal. It is totally unique in the archaeological record – there are no other jars like it from ancient Rome.

ORICHALCUM INGOTS

horsemoonpost.com

The ancient Greeks claimed that Atlanteans used a rare metal called orichalcum. Which made a 1988 shipwreck find of orichalcum ingots exciting. The ingots were found off the coast of Sicily. Orichalcum is a brass alloy.

MYSTERIOUS SWORD

ancientorigins.edu

This medieval sword was fished out of the River Witham in 1825. It bears a mysterious inscription that has, to this day, defied decryption. The British Library has appealed to the public for help in solving the mystery. The sword would have been used by a knight, and was likely made in Germany.

RUSSIAN MYSTERY DISCS

tatsrevolution.com

Russia’s Volgograd region has produced a truly weird find. Enormous discs, over twelve of them, have been found there, and nobody knows where they came from or what they were made for.

Don’t Panic, but Physicists in Australia Just Proved Reality Doesn’t Exist

Don’t Panic, but Physicists in Australia Just Proved Reality Doesn’t Exist

Get ready to have your mind blown. According to an experiment led by two physicists in Australia, reality doesn’t exist. Turn on, tune in, and drop out man, because the world as you know it is all kinds of weird, at least on a quantum level.

Andrew Truscott and Roman Khakimov of The Australian National University used atoms to put a John Wheeler delayed-choice thought experiment to practical use. The Wheeler thought experiments ask, in theory, at what point does an object decide to act like one thing or another.

Truscott and Khakimov’s team used what is assumed to be extremely expensive and complex scientific equipment to trap a single helium atom and then drop it through a pair of laser beams that formed a scattered grating pattern. 

Another set of lasers was then added at random intervals to recombine the beams, which, on a quantum level, made it seem like the single atom had traveled two different paths along the beams. When the second set of lasers was taken away, the atom seemed as if it only chose to go on one beam.

Are you still with us? Does your head hurt? Quantum physics is known to do that.

According to Truscott, “If one chooses to believe that the atom really did take a particular path or paths, then one has to accept that a future measurement is affecting the atom’s past. The atoms did not travel from A to B. It was only when they were measured at the end of the journey that their wave-like or particle-like behavior was brought into existence.”

Instead of the common sense argument that the atom either went down one path or the other regardless of where it ended up, the quantum physics explanation says otherwise. 

Whether you observed the atom going down one path or two only depends on how it was measured at the end of its micro-sized and kind of improbable journey, which in a sense means reality itself doesn’t exist unless you’re observing it.

If it makes you feel any better, this particular experiment is only feasible at the quantum level, and would be nearly impossible to apply to everyday life. But it also shows that fabric of space/time is absolutely nuts and hardly makes any sense. But don’t worry, reality doesn’t exist anyway.

NASA forced to respond after footage of ‘several UFOs’ behind astronaut on ISS emerges

NASA forced to respond after footage of ‘several UFOs’ behind astronaut on ISS emerges

US SPACE agency NASA has been forced from its usually tight-lipped stance on alien visitations after video allegedly showing several UFOs passing a window behind an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS) emerged.

UFO hunters claimed the footage caught by cameras on board the ISS and released online by NASA was conclusive proof aliens exits.The video, uploaded to several UFO websites, shows Samantha Cristoforetti, an Italian European Space Agency astronaut, demonstrating how to operate window shutters at the ISS.But as she talks to the camera, several white objects appear to come shooting into view.Tyler Glockner posted the footage, uploaded on March 18, 2017, to his UFO sightings YouTube channel Secure Team.He described one of the unknown objects seen hurtling past the ISS as a “smoking gun UFO”.Secureteam10 describes itself as an “underground” research team that exposes the truth about extraterrestrial and UFO coverups.

It has been criticised by debunkers for knowing misrepresenting anomalies in videos, something it denies.

NASA-ISS-UFO The UFOs (circled) which passed during the NASA ISS video. It is the latest in a string of claims by alien chasers that UFOs have been caught in the background of the ISS livestream cameras, but there is a major cover-up by NASA underway, with it often cutting off the cameras once one come into view.NASA, which says it has found no evidence yet of alien life during any of its missions, usually does not respond to such claims. This is possibly because so many are made.But, following the latest claims, the agency issued a statement.It said: “No unidentified objects in the popular sense have been seen from the International Space Station.“Reflections from station windows, the spacecraft structure itself or lights from Earth commonly appear as artifacts in photos and videos from the orbiting laboratory.”Last year veteran American astronaut Tom Jones also dispelled the myth. NASA-UFO There were claims last year that an astronaut tried to block out a passing UFO with his hand.

He said: “Astronauts have not seen any evidence of alien life. 

“Reports of unidentified flying objects in images returned from the shuttle or [space] station have turned out to be ice crystals, drifting orbital debris, lightning flashes, or meteors streaking through the dark atmosphere below. 

“So far, our search for extraterrestrial life ― and other civilizations in space ― has turned up no proof of alien civilizations.”

Conspiracy theorists like Scott C Waring, who runs website ufosightingsdaily.com, claim that NASA and Mr Jones are just part of the “cover-up” and he dismisses their explanations, convinced that every bright light or blurred object seen on camera in the distance from the ISS is an alien space craft.

But, Scott Brando, who forenisically examines alleged UFO pictures and videos, before releasing debunking articles on his website ufoofinterest.org is more level headed.

He told Express.co.uk that the UFOs caught on camera were either lens reflections or ice particles.

In the case of the latest footage, he said they were ice particles.

He tweeted: “According to SecureTeam10 this object is a #UFO outside #ISS window. 

“Watch how many small ice debris cross the camera in other videos.”

Footage appears to capture two UFO’s meeting below NASA’s ISS

If Aliens Visit, Don't Expect a Hollywood Ending, Ridley Scott Warns

If Aliens Visit, Don't Expect a Hollywood Ending, Ridley Scott Warns

Credit: 20th Century Fox

Film director Ridley Scott, who delights in terrifying moviegoers with his cinematic blend of horror and science fiction, suggested in a recent interview that the scary prospect of belligerent invading aliens might transcend the realm of sci-fi. According to Scott, hundreds of alien species are "out there" on distant worlds, and Earth's inhabitants should prepare for the worst if they ever decide to visit our planet.

One scientist, though, says that Scott's information about such hostile, and abundant, aliens is off-base and unsupported.

Scott told Agence France-Presse (AFP) about his belief in "superior beings," while fielding questions about his latest movie, "Alien: Covenant," opening in theaters in the U.S. on May 19. He warned that any extraterrestrial travelers who are technologically advanced enough to show up on our doorstep would likely be very intelligent and very hostile. And unlike the scenarios that dominate movies — if we go toe-to-toe with these invaders, we probably won't be the victors, he said.

"If you are stupid enough to challenge them you will be taken out in three seconds," Scott told AFP. [Greetings, Earthlings! 8 Ways Aliens Could Contact Us]

In the interview, Scott explained that "the experts" estimate there are "between 100 and 200 entities" on other planets, following what could be a similar evolutionary path to ours. And if they get here first, our best bet would be to "run for it," AFP reported.

The possibility of intelligent, technologically adept alien life has intrigued science-fiction writers and readers since the French writer Voltaire published his short story "Micromégas" in 1752, describing two extraterrestrial visitors to Earth — one from the planet Saturn and one from a planet orbiting the star Sirius.

Scott has made his own contributions to the genre, most notably with his string of "Alien" movies, which imagine a highly adaptable and morphologically flexible alien species. The so-called xenomorphs breed quickly and are ruthlessly efficient at overpowering humans, either swiftly dismembering them or cultivating them as hosts for their young — luckily, in isolated locations that are far from our home planet.

But though Scott is a skilled sci-fi yarn-spinner, his assessment of real-world alien threats could use a script doctor, according to Seth Shostak, senior astronomer with the SETI Institute, a research institution dedicated to the search for communication signals produced by intelligent extraterrestrial life.

To begin with, Scott's "expert" estimate of 100 to 200 "entities" is entirely unsubstantiated, Shostak told Live Science.

"We have absolutely no data that would tell you what that number might be," he said.

In fact, estimates based on data about known planets and galaxies suggest that the actual number of intelligent extraterrestrial life forms could, in fact, be significantly higher. With approximately 1 trillion planets in our galaxy alone, and about 2 trillion more galaxies, that adds up to…well, it's a lot of planets, Shostak said. [Why Do We Imagine Aliens as 'Little Green Men'?]

To narrow the search a bit, scientists could start by just looking at the trillion planets in our own galaxy, he said. Only a fraction of those planets might be capable of supporting life — perhaps 1 in 10. And maybe only 1 in 1,000 could produce and support life more complex than bacteria, he said.

That gives us about a billion planets in our galaxy that might harbor some type of intelligent life. But over time, life on many of those planets could have already waxed and waned — self-destructed or been wiped out. Perhaps only one planet in a million of those intelligent-life-harboring worlds still support life capable of contacting humans. That adds up to about 1,000 planets that could potentially hold intelligent, extraterrestrial species, Shostak told Live Science.

However, if a planet is more than 70 light-years from Earth, it hasn't yet received any radio signals from us. Its residents, no matter how technologically adept, wouldn't know humans exist yet. Even if long-distance observations of Earth told them we had oxygen in our atmosphere — and thereby some form of life — they'd be very unlikely to travel all this way to look at what might amount to just a lot of bacteria, Shostak added. 

Neither would extraterrestrials be likely to invade our solar system merely to steal our resources, he said. If a civilization is advanced enough that they've exhausted all the resources of their entire star system — every planet, moon and asteroid — and are all out of natural materials, they're probably at a stage where they could create what they needed from simpler materials in their own backyard, rather than traveling across the galaxy for a very limited supply, Shostak said.

It's equally unlikely they'd be showing up because they thought humans would make an excellent addition to their diet, he said.

"To do that, they would have to know that we had something interesting within our bodies that they could metabolize, and their body chemistry would probably be very different from ours," Shostak said.

But Scott did get one thing right: If extraterrestrials are capable of building spacecraft that can transport them to our planet, they certainly would be technologically "superior" to people, Shostak said. And if he saw a spaceship suddenly appear, Shostak admitted that he'd probably do as Scott suggested — and just "run for it."

NASA Don't Know What This Hole On Mars Is

NASA Don't Know What This Hole On Mars Is

A SOUTH POLAR PIT OR AN IMPACT CRATER? 

NASA / JPL-CALLTECH /  UNIVERS. OF ARIZONA

Is this an entrance to a Sarlacc pit? Most likely not. Nevertheless, this image of the Martian surface reveals some fascinating things about the geology and topography of Mars.

The newly released image was taken by the HiRISE camera onboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter above the southern hemisphere of Mars. This region of Mars is an icy terrain, caked in carbon dioxide ice that's marked with these pits and craters, known as Swiss cheese features, that can be over 100 meters (330 feet) wide. 

The image was captured during Mars’ late summer, when the Sun is low in the sky and there is good lighting to capture images of this kind of topography. The defining feature of the image – the gaping hole near the top right – is causing scientists at NASA to scratch their heads.

“We see many shallow pits in the bright residual cap of carbon dioxide ice (also called "Swiss cheese terrain"). There is also a deeper, circular formation that penetrates through the ice and dust,” NASA explain. “This might be an impact crater or it could be a collapse pit.”

Hibernating Aliens May Explain Why We Haven't Found Any Other Life Yet

Hibernating Aliens May Explain Why We Haven't Found Any Other Life Yet

FRED MANTEL / SHUTTERSTOCK

Scientists have proposed a rather interesting reason for why we haven’t found aliens yet, a problem known as the Fermi Paradox (if life is so abundant, where is everyone?). They propose intelligent aliens could be in a state of hibernation, waiting for the universe to get colder so they can be more productive.

This idea was proposed in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, with a pre-print available on arXiv. The paper was written by Anders Sandberg, Stuart Armstrong, and Milan Cirkovic of the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford, and picked up recently by Gizmodo.

Some people think that a civilization much more advanced than our own might become a digital race. That is to say, they’ll live as artificial intelligence inside computers, doing away with more limiting fleshy bodies. Experts including Elon Musk have suggested this is a logical progression in the far future.

If we are not alone in the universe (which we have no evidence for yet), one could therefore further propose that an advanced alien race might have gone down this route. But in order to make the most of their new digital bodies, they might not like the universe at the moment.

The temperature of the universe right now is 3 degrees Kelvin above absolute zero. That’s rather chilly, but that temperature will continue to drop as the universe expands. Sandberg and his colleagues argue that the temperature in the future could allow for 1030 more computational processes than are currently possible.

“We hence suggest the 'aestivation hypothesis',” the researchers write in their paper, adding that “the reason we are not observing manifestations of alien civilizations is that they are currently (mostly) inactive, patiently waiting for future cosmic eras.” Aestivation is basically hibernation to avoid hotter temperatures, not cooler ones.

Our universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

An advanced digital alien race might get to the point where they have fully explored a section of the universe. Finding no need to continue existence with a relatively limited processing power (processing becomes 10 times more efficient if your computer is 10 times colder), they may therefore choose to wait for a cooler age in the universe.

The authors do not necessarily think this theory is correct, not least because we have no evidence we are not alone yet. But they argue that if it turns out there is other life out there, then the theory is at least a possibility.

“[We] personally think the likeliest reason we are not seeing aliens is not that they are aestivating, but just that they do not exist or are very far away,” Sandberg wrote in a blog post. “If that hypothesis [life is rare] is not true, then aestivation is a pretty plausible answer in my personal opinion.”

What’s more, they propose a way to find aestivating aliens. If we can see unusual phenomena in the universe, such as stars failing to collapse into black holes, this might be evidence of aliens using up the energy. And if there are aliens monitoring our particular corner of the universe, then any attempts by us to travel outwards may be met with hostile resistance.

This theory will not be without its detractors. Science fiction author David Brin, for one, suggested to Gizmodo that it made little sense for a race to go into hibernation and waste processing time. The authors countered that any race would want to make the most of available energy, and thus wait for optimal conditions.

There’s no shortage of speculation these days about the Fermi Paradox, and the possibility of alien life. The fact remains though that – to paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke – we are either alone or not, and both answers are equally terrifying. Maybe, if we’re not, then there just might be sleeping aliens waiting for things to get a bit cooler.

Will truth about aliens soon be known? UFO sightings TRIPLE in just 16 years

Will truth about aliens soon be known? UFO sightings TRIPLE in just 16 years

THE number of reported UFO sightings across the United States has more than tripled since 2001, it has emerged.

The statistics are compiled in a new book written using the databases of two of the world’s biggest organisations dedicated to logging UFO and alien reportings and encounters across the globe.

“UFO Sightings Desk Reference,” written by Cheryl Costa, 65, and wife, Linda Miller Costa, 62, from Syracuse, New York, used 121,036 eyewitness accounts across the states recorded separately by the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) between 2001 and 2015 to chart the increase.

The book looks at the timing and location of incidents and types of UFOs seen which include flying circles, spheres, triangles, discs, ovals, and cigars.

According to Cheryl, a former military technician and aerospace analyst, and Linda, a librarian at Le Moyne College and a former librarian at the National Academy of Sciences, NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency, MUFON and NUFORC decided most sightings were explainable, but a small amount can still not be explained.

The key findings from the book were that overall numbers of UFO sightings more than tripled by 2015, from their average levels in 2001.

The book shows that US sightings grew from 3,479 reports in 2001 to 11,868 in 2015. 

MUFON and NUFORC say just a fraction of all sightings make their way to them – so there are significantly more.

There is a growing “disclosure” movement in the US that believes that intelligent aliens visit Earth, and the government is not only aware of this, but covers it up.

Disclosure activists, such as Steve Bassett, who runs the Paradigm Research Group (PRG) campaign for an end to this so-called truth embargo.

Mr Bassett believes the fact there are so many more sightings now means the truth will soon come out as the White House will no longer be able to keep a lid on it.

He said: “With this compendium, Cheryl and Linda Costa have reminded the public and the media the extraterrestrial phenomenon continues unabated.”

Cheryl said the pair write the book because: “We wanted to do our bit for disclosure

“It’s something the government should have been doing.

“We’re doing scientific research. What’s crazy is not being willing to look at research.”

Their research found July is the busiest month for UFO sightings, but possibly because more people are outside.

There was a strange spike in sightings in Texas in 2008, and another in New Mexico in September 2015.

So what are their conclusions?

The pair say they have seen UFOs themselves, but draw no firm conclusions from studying the data.

Linda said: “We don’t know, but all these people are seeing these things.”

Sceptics argue that the rise in phone and digital cameras, is responsible for more alleged UFO pictures and videos emerging, and that sharing on social media, makes the subject more well known.

The rise in the use of drones of an array of shapes and sizes, is another explanation offered for the perceived rise in UFO activity.

Could Vladimir Putin reveal aliens exist? Kremlin chief asked to lift ‘truth embargo’

Could Vladimir Putin reveal aliens exist? Kremlin chief asked to lift ‘truth embargo’

RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin could be the man to make world history by announcing intelligent aliens exist and have visited Earth, a “truth” campaigner believes.

US citizen, Stephen Bassett, executive director of the Paridigm Research Group International (PRG), has spent a week in Russia trying to convince Mr Putin of the importance of lifting an alleged “truth embargo” that stops world leaders telling the public the truth about aliens.

Mr Bassett, who is the only registered lobbyist in the US on the subject of alien disclosure, believes a conspiracy theory that the truth of aliens has been withheld due to the fear of the impact on religion and the rule of law if we all knew.

He believes the conspiracy has been in place since at least 1947 when a flying saucer allegedly crash landed at Roswell, New Mexico.

Mr Bassett was interviewed for a Russian documentary during his visit.

A PRG statement said: “During the interview, which will be broadcast in Russian in August, Bassett discussed various considerations that might prompt Russian President Vladimir Putin to make the first formal acknowledgment by a head of state regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race. 

“PRG believes this may be the first time anyone has made this argument on Russian media inside or outside Russia.”

He also met former Soviet and Russian military and agency officials, who are now involved in the disclosure movement.

Mr Basset said: “Since 1945 the United States and the Soviet Union/Russia have spent in excess of $40trillion contesting over political and economic ideologies, fighting proxy wars around the world and building the most dangerous threat to the human race ever conceived. 

“The Cold War has never really ended with gaming, brinksmanship and destructive policies continuing from both sides. 

“While humans have continued to destroy each other and the biosphere in which they live, there is a galaxy full of life waiting to be engaged. 

“The extraterrestrial reality transcends politics, religion, race, and war. The embargo on this truth has accomplished nothing but delay the advancement of human civilisation. 

“Any number of heads of state could end this embargo at any time, and it can’t come soon enough.

“What the keepers of the truth embargo either fail or refuse to realise is a post-disclosure world could be the bridge between the US, China and Russia that would permit the necessary geopolitical realignments setting a new course away from the seemingly permanent war economies wasting vital resources and keeping the world always on the brink.”

Do You Dream About UFO’s?

Do You Dream About UFO’s?

Have you ever dreamt about seeing a UFO or being aboard one? What do these types of dreams mean?

Many people will live their entire lives without ever seeing a UFO.  My first UFO sighting occurred in 1978.  A group of friends and I decided to have a keg party “On Top of the World”, which is a mountaintop in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York.  It was early evening and we were waiting for the person to arrive Many people will live their entire lives without ever seeing a UFO. My first UFO sighting occurred in 1978. A group of friends and I decided to have a keg party "On Top of the World", which is a mountaintop in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. It was early evening and we were waiting for the person to arrive who had the tap for the keg, so all of us were sober. At that point, a group of 3 UFO's flew over the adjacent hill, Franklin Mountain... hovered for a few seconds, then flew away at a speed unfathomable. At the time, there was probably 6 or 7 of us there to witness it, but that was my first of many UFO sightings.who had the tap for the keg, so all of us were sober.  At that point, a group of 3 UFO’s flew over the adjacent hill, Franklin Mountain… hovered for a few seconds, then flew away at a speed unfathomable.  At the time, there was probably 6 or 7 of us there to witness it, but that was my first of many UFO sightings.

My late sister, Lola, had an abduction scenario where she was with her boyfriend and another friend, Patty F.. They were driving toward East Sidney Dam when the next thing they knew, their car was on the side of the road and it was 4 hours later.

Since buying a pair of ATN Night Vision Goggles, I have seen more UFO’s than ever. You can’t go 10 minutes without seeing one!

Many of us have experienced UFO sightings in real life, but what do they mean when we see them in our dreams?

According to DreamMoods,

To see a spaceship in your dream symbolizes your creative mind. It denotes a spiritual journey into the unknown and signals self-development and self-awareness. Alternatively, the dream suggests that you need to take on a different perspective, no matter how bizarre or unusual it may be. 

Tony Crisp Dream Analysis states:

Suggests a change in yourself, or personal growth; becoming aware of something new, or some new aspect of yourself, one that you are not familiar with, and so seems strange or alien. For instance a change might be occurring in the way you relate to people or events.

Our mind has the ability to view our experience as a whole, rather than in parts. What we sense unconsciously in this way is presented to the conscious mind as images such as UFO’s or circles of light. Another way of explaining this is to realize that our conscious self is only a tiny part of the whole process of life active in us. There are amazing potentials in each of us that might only be glimpsed in stress situations. Occasionally this more powerful or bigger side of ourselves breaks through and is experienced as an alien, or great being. Because of the hallucinatory aspect of the dream process, and the fact that in dreaming we see exterior imagery as real, when this breaks through while we are awake, it is difficult to accept the source of it as our own unconscious. See: altered states of consciousness; space; spaceship.

A few weeks ago, I had a dream where I was “back home” with my daughter.  I was looking out of my parent’s bay window when I saw dozens of UFOs in the sky along with a huge mothership which came down to my parent’s house, hovering about 30 above the ground.  It was so close, I could see the beings inside, who looked like regular people.  I called for my daughter while taking out my smartphone to get a video of everything. A few weeks ago, I had a dream where I was "back home" (please refer to Do You Dream About Flying Or Going Home?) with my daughter. I was looking out of my parent's bay window when I saw dozens of UFOs in the sky along with a huge mothership which came down to my parent's house, hovering about 30 above the ground. It was so close, I could see the beings inside, who looked like regular people. I called for my daughter while taking out my smartphone to get a video of everything.

In another dream, I was once again “back home” at the college, which was about 2 blocks from my parent’s home.  There were many spaceships in the air but one had landed at the college.  There were many people there who were boarding the ship.  I was one of them waiting to go aboard.  I woke up before I actually boarded the craft.

In the previous article, Do You Dream About Flying Or Going Home?, I mentioned a dream where I was aboard a huge spaceship:

I was in a very large round room and there were small groups of people all around me.  We all looked like we were in our 20’s or so.  I was in a group of about 8-10 people and our thoughts were instantly interactive through telepathy.  Each group was creating and manifesting something, but I don’t specifically remember what it was.  What I do remember is that is was a group manifestation and we were all on the same page.  For example, someone would think of a contribution to the group and another would add to it.  Each additional thought made the manifestation even more amazing.  If someone joined the group, they would instantly know everything we manifested before they joined us and would immediately be able to interact with the group.  If you wanted to take a break, you could leave any time.  I chose to leave and went “back home”.  I was in my old neighborhood, playing guitar on a futuristic amplifier that was no bigger than a pack of cigarettes and did not require electricity. In this dream, I knew every possible scale on guitar and could play amazingly well.  Two friends joined me… one to listen and another to play along.  I knew at any time, I could go back to the ship.

What this dream showed me is that if we somehow go into a dimensional shift would want to blow up the world with their thoughts.  It’s not even a remote possibility. It’s as if you are one cell in a body and you’re harmoniously interacting with all of the cells around you, instantaneously. Your soul is completely transparent and there is nothing in your past to be embarrassed or ashamed about.

Your dreams and the removal of fear

Your dreams are metaphors being played out from events that occurred earlier in that particular day.  If you had a disturbing dream, then look back at what might have triggered those particular metaphors or symbols and try to resolve that issue.

Once you remove any fear from your mind, you’ll find that your dreams become more futuristic and prophetic. I’d be willing to guess that many people who have done their inner work within this genre have either seen UFOs in real life and/or have experienced UFO dreams.

Have you dreamt about UFOs or going aboard a UFO?  If so, comment below!

STRANGE WEATHER ANOMALIES ARE SWEEPING ACROSS THE WORLD

STRANGE WEATHER ANOMALIES ARE SWEEPING ACROSS THE WORLD

In the last week, there have been reports of an increase in extreme weather conditions such as tidal waves, sandstorms, incredible winds and storms and tornadoes in various locations across the world. They have been swift and intense, often endangering lives

The go-to explanation for these weather events is climate change due to global warming. Others may deem the changing climate to be a result of the polar axis shift, an occurrence that is neither unusual or unprecedented. Earth's history is marked with many differing climatic changes without the aid of global warming or human presence.  

According to a Harvard University report in July 2013, climate scientists admitted that when the focus of the public is on the weather, regardless of whether or not there is any connection between events, there is a call for more research.

It referenced a recent hurricane that may not have anything to do with climate change, but many were still making that connection themselves. One scientist, Daniel Schrag, Harvard University Center for Environment director, declared amazement at what he called public's ability to determine the angle scientific research will take.

However as the public are influenced by official government channels, the real "steering" is performed by the agenda of these agencies. The climate scientists described earth as a "complex system" and difficult to predict, with much more research needing to be done on how and why these weather events occur.

Brian Farrell, professor of meteorology, made a point that climate scientists prefer not be vocal about particular occurrences as there isn't enough evidence to determine a specific cause. Schrag goes on to remark that hardly any research has been done on tornadoes and climate change. Thunderstorms are also lacking in study in regards to the same.

While official channels are quick to blame global warming for extreme weather events, the truth remains that climate scientists themselves admit to limited connections.
