NASA’s $1 Billion Jupiter Probe Just Sent Back Stunning New Photos Of Jupiter
Traveling above Jupiter at more than 130,000 miles per hour, NASA’s $1 billion Juno probe took its ninth set of stunning flyby images on October 24. But the sun slipped between the giant planet and Earth for more than a week, blocking the spacecraft from beaming home its precious bounty of data.
Now that the conjunction is over, however, new raw image data from Juno’s ninth perijove — as the spacecraft’s high-speed flybys are called — has poured in. Researchers posted it all online on Tuesday, and a community of amateurs and professionals has been busily processing the data to yield colorful and stunning new pictures of Jupiter.
“Brand new Jupiter pics from @NASAJuno Perijove 09! What a blimmin’ gorgeous/diabolical planet,” Seán Doran, a UK-based graphic artist who regularly processes NASA images, tweeted on Tuesday.
Below are some fresh, close-up images of Jupiter, along with other unbelievable views captured from earlier perijoves.
In the most recent flyby, as with the previous eight, Juno’s flyby started over Jupiter’s north pole.
The spacecraft then swept within a few thousand miles of the gas giant, capturing stunning high-resolution views of its cloud tops.
At its closest approach to Jupiter during each flyby, the robot briefly becomes the fastest human-made object in the solar system, reaching speeds of around 130,000 miles per hour.
Then Juno flew back out into deep space, passing over Jupiter’s South Pole on its exit. Churning storms at the poles constantly change their appearance.
Researchers upload the raw data sent by the probe to the mission’s website.
There, enthusiasts take the drab, mostly gray image data and process it all into true-to-life color photos.
Many snapshots of Jupiter take on an artistic quality.
Others dazzle with their detail of the planet’s thick cloud bands and powerful storms. Jupiter is made up predominantly of hydrogen. The simple, basic gas, a prime ingredient on the sun, accounts for 90 percent of the atmosphere. Nearly 10 percent is composed of helium.
The planet’s atmosphere is a turbulent mess of hydrogen and helium gases. The atmosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System. It is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions; other chemical compounds are present only in small amounts and include methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and water.Some of the tempests are large enough to swallow planet Earth — or at least a good chunk of it.
There are also traces of molecules like ammonia, methane, sulfur, and water, which give the clouds different colors and properties.
The mixture sometimes creates features that look like faces (as seen on the left in this image).
Other times, shining-white clouds fill up most of a band. With an average temperature of minus 234 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 145 degrees Celsius), Jupiter is frigid even in its warmest weather. Unlike Earth, whose temperature varies as one moves closer to or farther from the equator, Jupiter’s temperature depends more on height above the surface.
Many cloud bands have features called chevrons. These atmospheric disturbances blow at several hundreds of miles per hour and sometimes zig-zag through a band, or punch through into others.
In this older view of Jupiter, from Juno’s eighth perijove, two cloud bands battle for dominance — one of which contains a swirling storm many times larger than a hurricane on Earth.
The spacecraft will continue to document Jupiter for as long as NASA can keep it going. But not forever.
A Taiwanese businessman claimed he had caught a doughnut-shaped UFO on camera in south-west China.
Salesman John Chen said he took some picturesque shots of the famous Lake Dian after attending a trade show in Yunnan Province on November 1.
Later on, the 44-year-old and his sister-in-law were shocked to spot a mysterious ring-shaped object in sky when they were looking at one picture at home in Taipei.
Mr Chen, above, sends the pictures to Philip Mantle, a leading UFO expert, for analysis as the flying object has a ridged shape that looks like a doughnut (under).
The object in question has ridged sides and a hole in the middle, and is similar to the shape of a doughnut.
Mr Chen decided to find a UFO expert in a bid to find out what it could be.
Philip Mantle, who is said to be a leading British UFO researcher, told Mr Chen that he could not explain what the flying 'doughnut' was. Mr Mantle called the incident an 'open verdict'.
However, Mr Chen said: 'It just has to be a UFO. It's a strange doughnut shape in the sky.
'The strange thing is I didn't see it at the time. It was my wife's sister who spotted them. She said there was something in the pictures and I just thought she was joking.'
Businessman John Chen took a few pictures of Lake Dian in China the day he attended a trade show (above). Only when he returned to Taiwan, he was told that there was a UFO in it (under)
Other pictures of Lake Dian, however, did not show the strange looking object in the sky
Mr Chen then checked with his colleagues. They shared the photos that they had taken on the day, but his colleagues did not capture any strange object in the sky.
Upon receiving photos sent by Mr Chen, British UFO expert Philip Mantle doubted for the legitimacy of the images.
'What I can say is that the photographer in question here has always cooperated and seems to be genuinely puzzled by the images on his photos.
He did not see the alleged UFO at the time of taking the photos. Instead it was a relative that noticed them when he posted them on social media.'
Mantel concluded that there was no proof that the pictures were a hoax but the object could also be 'some air born debris that has been caught by the camera;
'More study needs to be done on these photos before any definite conclusion can be reached, so in the meantime it remains an open verdict,' he added.
NASA DISCOVERS GIANT MANTLE PLUME THAT’S MELTING ANTARCTICA FROM BELOW
Antarctica has been in the news a lot recently, with gloomy tales of the astonishing icy continent melting and collapsing because of the effects of climate change.

SUPER VOLCANO DISCOVERED UNDERNEATH ANTARCTICA
However, according to scientists in one particular area of the continent something else is at work too. Researchers working for NASA have discovered that there is a massive super-volcano underneath Marie Byrd Land in West Antarctica which is generating almost as much heat as the infamous Yellowstone supervolcano and effectively melting the ice from underneath the Earth.
The research team have uncovered an enormous amount of hot rock underneath Marie Byrd Land which lies between the gigantic Ross Ice Shelf and the Ross Sea. According to the team, the heat surrounding this area is creating huge lakes and rivers underneath the ice sheet. This heat, they claim, is being generated by a mantle plume. Mantle plumes are part of the anatomy of a super volcano which bring hot material from the interior to the Earth to the surface. The region directly surrounding these mantle plumes is known as a hot spot and can cause a great deal of geographical instability. According to the team, it is likely that the mantle plume is responsible for the ever changing landscape in this particular region on Antarctica and is probably responsible for its rapid collapse towards the end of the last major Ice Age eleven thousand years ago.
The existence of a blazingly hot mantle plume existing under Marie Byrd land is something which scientists have speculated about for around thirty years because of the unique conditions in this particular area of Antarctica and the domed feature of the landscape there. However, until now there has been no solid evidence to support this idea.
This has all changed because of the work at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who commenced the project because they were interested to know what was causing the instability in the region. According to the leader of the project Hélène Seroussi, the team were actually initially sceptical about the idea that a mantle plume could be causing the unique conditions. She said that she found the idea ‘crazy’. “I didn’t see how we could have that amount of heat and still have ice on top of it, ” she said.
However, the team created a huge number of advanced numerical models to calculate how much heat would need to be generated underneath the thick ice sheet to account for geological anomalies such as the domed appearance of the landscape and the lakes and rivers in the bedrock and eventually they came to the conclusion that there simply had to be a mantle plume in this area.
Once they had come to the conclusion that it was likely that they were dealing with a mantle plume, the team dispatched to Yellowstone to analyse the geothermal heat created by the super volcano and found that it was comparable to the amount of heat being generated in Marie Byrd Land. At Yellowstone, around 200 milliwatts is generated per square meter every hour by the heat of the volcano. In Marie Byrd land approximately 150 milliwatts is generated in the same space of time. The scientists note that if the supervolcano underneath Antarctica was any hotter then it would certainly melt the ice in the surrounding area.
The team believes that the mantle plume is coming from a rift in the Earth’s crust and that it is likely that this particular rift and mantle plume formed between fifty and a hundred and ten million years ago, prior to the region being covered with ice.
According to the research team, these investigations could prove to be acutely important in the future. As scientists endeavour to understand the nature of the landscape of Antarctica and attempt to
make predictions about how it will evolve and change in the future this kind of information is absolutely essential.
He was on duty as a police officer in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, and had been sent out to locate some loose cattle.
However, he ended up tracking down something he insists was more out of this world when he saw a flying saucer in Burnley Road.

Mr Godfrey lost around 15 minutes and remains convinced to this day, after undergoing regression, that he was abducted by alien occupants of the craft.
At the time he was interviewed on prime time TV news shows, and to this day it remains the UK's best-known alien abduction account.
Yet, UFO researcher Russ Callaghan, may have found a more earthly explanation for what went on.
Mr Callaghan has discovered something from the history of Todmorden, that was there at the time of the incident, was mobile, but has been over looked by other investigators.
More importantly, he said, it resembles the description given by Mr Godfrey of his "flying saucer."
According to a black and white image of the Todmorden futuro home, with a woman stood next to it, it matches the 20 feet across dimension given by Mr Godfrey in sketches.
Mr Godfrey said he saw "a metallic disc with a dome and a row of windows at the top."
However, he also insists that moments later, as he tried to sketch it, there was a burst of light, and he then found himself driving 100 yards farther up the road, with the UFO now gone.
However, Mr Callaghan discovered that since 1971 there had been a UFO inspired Futura home in Todmorden, and it was still there in 1980.
The plastic-built home resembled a UFO, with several large oval windows around it on the top half.
What's more, the building was mobile, and was transported around the town on the back of a truck.
Waterside Plastics
The Todmorden futuro home in the Watersides Plastics brochure dated 1969.
Mr Callaghan argued that, as it would have been dark at the time of the sighting, it could have been the futura home being moved on a truck that he saw, and mistook for an alien craft.
Mr Callaghan said: "Alan is a great guy, and I know he believes what he says he saw.
"I'm not saying Alan made this up."
However, he said it was a plausible theory that further up the road the futura building was being carried on a lorry, making it appear to be above the road.
Waterside Plastics
A sketch of the UFO Alan Godfrey saw, which Russ Callaghan says resembles the futuro home.
He said: "That is how they moved the building. Does it or does it not look like a flying saucer?
"The futura buildings were small liveable houses, but the documentary makers (about Alan Godfrey's abduction) never remember to mention it was there at the time.
"But it was there and we have got a photo of it, and we have not got a photo of what Alan saw in Burnley Road."
Futurohouse.com is a website dedicated to the quirky futuristic homes, which features a section on the one at Todmorden, which confirms it was moved on a lorry.
Malcolm Stroud said of it: "The house was made by Waterside Plastics in its Waterside Mill, Rochdale Road, Todmorden.
YouTube•WATERSIDE PLASTICS
CASE CLOSED? Did Alan Godfrey see and sketch a futura home (inset)?
That is how they moved the building. Does it or does it not look like a flying saucer?
Russ Callaghan
"The Futuro house was a one off and I understand they only made one. It was exhibited in Todmorden in 1971 for the town's centenary.
"The company went out of business in 1990.
"The house was exhibited outside the Abraham Omerod medical centre (now closed), in the town, near the railway viaduct.
"I have also been told that it functioned as offices for Waterside Plastics for some years."
He said there was a photo of it "peeping out" between Victorian mill buildings when it was being moved on a lorry.
Mr Callaghan also considered if Mr Godfrey just saw a bus with its lights on and got confused in the early-morning darkness.
This was because busses ran along that route at the time, and Mr Godfrey had initially said "I thought I were looking at a bus."
He also considered if it was a council road sweeping vehicle with flashing lights, also mistaken by Mr Godfrey for a UFO, before resting on the futura house theory.
Mr Callaghan was quizzed by other ufologists about what could account for Mr Godfrey's burst of light, missing time, and abduction claims.
Jon Austin
CASE CLOSED: Russ Callaghan delivering his theory at a UFO conference in Hull.
He pointed out that Mr Godfrey's vivid descriptions of what went on inside the craft had only come out after he was regressed by Jenny Randles, a prominent UFO and alien abduction investigator.
He said: "There was no mention of these prior to hypnosis.
"Under hypnosis, he came out with seeing alien beings with light bulb heads, and a black entity.
"But, before in a book, he also tells you he can't say if what he said under hypnosis was real or if he made it up because he has no recollection of these things prior to hypnosis."
BBC
Alan Godfrey interviewed by Frank Bough on BBC Breakfast at height of the media storm.
However, some believe the mystery remains as there were two independent sightings of something strange that morning.
A driver who was on Burnley Road, three miles further out at Cliviger, told of seeing a brilliant white object at the time of Mr Godfrey's sighting, and even contacted Todmorden police.
On top of this, a police patrol from nearby Halifax, searching for stolen motorbikes on Calder Valley moors saw a brilliant blue-white glow descending into the valley towards Todmorden shortly before Mr Godfrey experienced his close encounter.
Mr Godfrey insists what he saw was a flying saucer, and he has recently told all in the new book Who or What Were They?, in which he claims he was hounded from the force over the case.
Detlev van RavenswaayArtistieke weergaven van de Chicxulubkrater.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETWat was de kans op uitsterven voor de dinosaurussen zo’n 66 miljoen jaar geleden? Japanse onderzoekers berekenden dat amper dertien procent van de aardoppervlakte voldoende rijk is aan koolwaterstof voor zo’n massavernietiging. De meteoriet die het einde van de dino’s inluidde, stortte net op zo’n voor hen rampzalige plek neer. Brute pech dus.
De prehistorische beesten zouden 65-66 miljoen jaar geleden mogelijk niet uitgestorven zijn, was de meteoriet van, naar schatting, negen km diameter ingeslagen op zowat eender welke andere plaats op onze planeet. Op 87 procent van de aardoppervlakte zou de inslag misschien niet de massale uitroeiing van dino’s tot gevolg hebben gehad, volgens Kunio Kaiho en Naga Oshima van de Tohoku Universiteit in Japan.
Het kolossale stenen gevaarte stortte te pletter op het Mexicaanse schiereiland Yucatán, dat dus - helaas voor de dino’s - tot de dertien andere procent van de aarde behoorde. Een enorme klap moet het geweest zijn: de inslagkrater bij Chicxulub was maar liefst 180 km breed en 20 km diep. De concentratie van koolwaterstoffen in de rotsen was er zo hoog dat de in de lucht vrijgekomen roet- en sulfaatdeeltjes wereldwijd afkoeling en droogte veroorzaakten. Er kwamen tsunami’s en aardbevingen van, over heel de planeet. De zon werd verduisterd door het stof, de temperatuur op aarde zakte met tien graden Celsius. Niet alleen de dino’s - die volgens sommige paleontologen al langer in verval waren - kenden zo een abrupt einde: 75 procent van alle zee- en landdieren stierf uit.
AFPArtistieke impressie van de Sinosauropteryx, een kleine, gevederde dinosaurus.
De onderzoekers zochten uit hoeveel roet en sulfaat een virtuele meteorietinslag de stratosfeer zou inblazen naargelang de hoeveelheid koolwaterstof en sulfaat in de grond. Dan berekenden ze vanaf wanneer de afkoeling van onze planeet zo groot zou zijn dat ze een massavernietiging kan veroorzaken. Volgens Kaiho en Oshima bereikt een meteorietinslag dat punt als er tussen de 230 miljoen en 2.300 miljoen ton roet in de bovenste atmosfeer geblazen wordt. En dat scenario blijkt slechts mogelijk voor dertien procent van de aardoppervlakte.
Uit een internationaal onderzoek in 2014 bleek dat de dinosaurussen mogelijk hadden kunnen overleven. Namelijk als de gigantische steen op een “geschikter tijdstip” was ingeslagen, wanneer de dinosoorten gevarieerder en dus meer bestand zouden geweest zijn.

En nu argumenteren wetenschappers bovendien dat niet alleen het tijdstip van cruciaal belang kan geweest zijn, maar ook de plaats van de inslag. Volgens paleontoloog Kaiho zou er “geen afkoeling, of een lichtere afkoeling, geweest zijn” als de meteoriet was neergestort op rotsen met minder organisch materiaal. Hij vat het lot van de dino’s daarom zo samen: “Ze hadden pech”. Voor de mens betekende het dan weer wel dat zoogdieren door de ondergang van de dinosaurussen betere ontwikkelingskansen kregen.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETAls een ster aan het einde van zijn leven is, gaat hij soms met een enorme ontploffing ten onder: een supernova. Maar wetenschappers hebben nu een unieke ster ontdekt: die heeft zijn eigen dood overleefd, bleef schijnen, ontplofte later opnieuw en schijnt nog altijd.
Een Amerikaanse telescoop zag in september 2014 een ontploffing aan de sterrenhemel. De explosie leek aanvankelijk normaal en het licht vervaagde langzaam. Maar waar normale supernova’s na ongeveer honderd dagen doven, bleef deze ster ongeveer twee jaar lang schijnen. Af en toe dimde het licht iets of werd het helderder. Ook nu is de supernova nog helder.
Toen de wetenschappers in de archieven doken, ontdekten ze dat er al eerder een ontploffing was geweest op precies dezelfde plek in het heelal, in 1954. Met andere woorden: de ster is toen geëxplodeerd, bleef een halve eeuw leven, ontplofte toen weer en is nog altijd niet dood. De onderzoekers begrijpen niet precies hoe het kan dat de ster zich niet houdt aan de natuurwetten. Mogelijk gaat het om een onbekend type ster. De supernova staat beschreven in het wetenschapsblad Nature.
Uber en NASA werken samen aan vliegende auto’s - HLN.be

Uber-
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETUber gaat samenwerken met de Amerikaanse lucht- en ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA om vliegende auto’s van de grond te krijgen. Samen willen ze een soort vluchtleiding opzetten. Die moet ervoor zorgen dat de auto’s veilig door steden kunnen sjezen.
Uber heeft de samenwerking vandaag aangekondigd. Het bedrijf is van plan de vliegende taxi’s in 2020 uit te testen in Dallas en Dubai en voegde daar nu een derde stad aan toe: Los Angeles. De stad, waar in 2028 de Olympische Spelen worden gehouden, heeft constant last van verkeersopstoppingen.
Uber had de vliegende auto’s vorig jaar ronkend gepresenteerd. Het is de bedoeling dat elektrische, zelfrijdende wagens verticaal opstijgen van een plat dak en naar een ander dak vliegen, waar ze verticaal op moeten landen.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEET Op de Zuidpool zijn sporen gevonden van een bos dat er meer dan 260 miljoen jaar geleden groeide, nog voor de dinosauriërs op aarde rondliepen. Hoog in de bergen van Antarctica vonden wetenschappers de fossiele resten van dertien bomen.
De aarde bestond 260 miljoen jaar geleden uit twee werelddelen: Gondwana in het zuiden en Laurazië in het noorden. Antarctica maakte deel uit van Gondwana, met onder meer Zuid-Amerika, Afrika, India en Australië, en was veel warmer en vochtiger dan nu. Het gebied was waarschijnlijk bedekt met mossen, varens en planten, waar vooral kleine dieren leefden.
Ondanks de temperaturen moesten de bomen extreme omstandigheden overleven. In de zomer ging de zon niet onder en was het ook midden in de nacht licht. In de winter bleef het juist donker. Uit de fossielen concluderen de wetenschappers dat de bomen snel omschakelden van zomer naar winter. Hun ‘herfst’ duurde hooguit een maand.
De universiteit van Wisconsin heeft de bevindingen nu naar buiten gebracht. Wetenschappers van de instelling hebben tussen november en januari onderzoek gedaan op de bevroren hellingen van het zogeheten McIntyre-voorgebergte, diep in de binnenlanden van de Zuidpool. Toen was het daar ‘zomer’, hoewel ook dan de temperatuur tientallen graden onder nul blijft. Komende maanden gaan ze weer, op zoek naar nieuwe sporen.
Vulkaanuitbarstingen
Ongeveer 250 miljoen jaar geleden, dus zo’n 10 miljoen jaar nadat de gevonden bomen leefden, stierven vrijwel alle vroege dieren- en plantensoorten uit. Dat kwam waarschijnlijk door vulkaanuitbarstingen in Siberië. Die vulden de dampkring met giftige gassen. In de lege wereld die achterbleef kwamen langzaam de voorlopers van de dino’s op.
300.000 jaar oude schedels zetten menselijke geschiedenis op zijn kop. Deze archeologen doen verrassende vondst
Wanneer ontstond de moderne mens? Antropologen worstelen al decennia met deze vraag. Ze denken dat de mensheid zo’n 200.000 jaar geleden in de sub-Sahara is ontstaan.
Maar nieuw bewijs waarover in het tijdschrift Nature wordt gesproken, staat haaks op die hypothese. Onderzoekers hebben onlangs resten gevonden die suggereren dat de eerste Homo sapiens meer dan 100.000 jaar eerder is verschenen op een onverwachte plek.
Het gaat mogelijk om de oudste fossielen van Homo sapiens ooit gevonden. Ze zijn bewijs dat de mens al buiten de sub-Sahara leefde.
Grote verrassing
In 1961 stuitten mijnwerkers ten westen van Marrakesh op een menselijke schedel. Al snel werden ook andere resten ontdekt.
Zo’n 40 jaar later besloten Jean-Jacques Hublin en zijn collega’s van het Max Planck Instituut dieper te graven. Ze vonden resten van tenminste vijf individuen.
De botten zijn inmiddels gedateerd op 300.000 tot 350.000 jaar oud. “Dat kwam voor ons als een grote verrassing,” zei Hublin.
Veel gelijkenissen
Hij had verwacht schedels aan te treffen van menselijke voorouders zoals Homo erectus of Homo heidelbergensis, maar de schedels die hij vond vertoonden opvallend veel gelijkenissen met die van de moderne mens.
“Het gezicht van deze mensen is er één dat precies lijkt op de moderne variant,” zei Hublin.
“Ze hadden een schedel die wat langwerpiger was dan de onze, maar vandaag de dag zou je ze denk ik niet uit een menigte kunnen pikken,” vervolgde hij.
Herzien
De vondst druist in tegen de gangbare opvatting dat onze soort ergens diep in de sub-Sahara is ontstaan, de zogeheten Hof van Eden, en zich vervolgens naar andere delen van de wereld heeft verspreid.
“Er is geen Hof van Eden in Afrika,” zei Hublin. “Als er al zo’n Hof is, bestaat dat uit heel Afrika.”
Professor Sonia Zakrzewski van de Universiteit van Southampton wees erop dat de ontdekking ertoe kan leiden dat archeologen anders gaan denken over de menselijke oorsprong.
“Dit betekent zeker dat we onze modellen moeten herzien,” zei ze.
Precisely when and where did our species emerge? Anthropologists have struggled with that question for decades, and scattered clues had suggested the answer lay somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa about 200,000 years ago.
But new evidence outlined in two papers published in the journal Nature challenges that hypothesis. Instead, the authors describe recently discovered remains that suggest the first Homo sapiens showed up more than 100,000 years earlier than we thought in a place many experts didn't suspect.
The fossils could represent the earliest known examples of H. sapiens ever found (if confirmed by further research), and they serve as evidence that members of our species lived beyond sub-Saharan Africa.
Skulls in the dust

In 1961, a crew of miners was plowing into a dense wall of limestone in a hilly region west of Marrakesh when they struck a soft patch. The hardened beige surface gave way to a mound of cinnamon-colored dirt. Peeking out of the earth was a sliver of human skull.
A bit more digging revealed a nearly-complete skull, which the miners turned over to their field doctor. As word about the discovery spread, researchers flocked to the area. They uncovered more remains, including several pieces of jaw bone and a fragment of an arm. At the time, scientists pegged the fossils as roughly 40,000 years old, a few thousand years before our extinct European relatives, the Neanderthals, were thought to have vanished.
But they hadn't dug deep enough.

Roughly 40 years later, anthropologist Jean-Jacques Hublin and his team from the Max Planck Institute excavated the half-dozen layers of soil beneath the land where the skull and arm bones had been discovered. There, the team found remains that they say belong to at least five individuals, along with a set of flint blades which had likely been burned, perhaps by nearby cooking fires.
Using a dating technique that measures how much radiation had built up in the flint since it was heated, Hublin and his team say the ancient bones belong to people who lived roughly 300,000-350,000 years ago.
"These dates were a big wow," Hublin said on a recent call with reporters.
Still, the biggest discovery didn't come until the team looked more closely at the skulls.
A striking resemblance
When Hublin peered into the cavernous eye sockets of one of the skulls, he was astonished.
Instead of the robust features he was accustomed to seeing on the faces of an ancient human ancestor like Homo erectus or Homo heidelbergensis, this face bore a striking resemblance to his own. Where an erectus skull had a single, protruding brow ridge, these individuals had smaller, separated ones. Rather than a large face and a flattened skull, these people had small faces and rounder skulls.
"The face of these people is really a face that falls right in the middle of the modern variation," said Hublin. "They had a skull that is more elongated than most of us, but I'm not sure these people would stand out from a crowd today."
Their braincase (shown below in blue) also seemed to fall somewhere between what one might expect in an ancient human ancestor and a modern human, albeit slightly more similar to those of our archaic ancestors.
(Philipp Gunz, MPI EVA Leipzig)
This unique combination of advanced and archaic features suggests something profound, Hublin said -- he's convinced the Moroccan specimens "represent the very root of our species."
In other words, all of the Homo sapiens ever found -- including those uncovered far beyond Africa -- may trace their ancestral linkages to the land that is today's Morocco.
That suggestion contradicts the prevailing anthropological logic that our species evolved somewhere deep in sub-Saharan Africa, in what some researchers have referred to as a "Garden of Eden," then gradually moved out to other parts of the world. Instead, Hublin and his team argue that Homo sapiens could have been living in terrain across Africa.
"There is no Garden of Eden in Africa, or if there is, it is all of Africa," Hublin said.
According to Sonia Zakrzewski, an associate professor of archaeology at the University of Southampton, Hublin's discovery could encourage other archaeologists to change the way they think about human origins. "It really sets the world alight in terms of the possibilities for understanding the evolution of Homo sapiens," she said. "It certainly means that we need to rethink our models."
Alien Evidence – The Mysterious UFO Landing At Socorro, New Mexico
The Lonnie Zamora incident was an alleged UFO close encounter which occurred on Friday, April 24, 1964, at about 5:50 p.m., on the outskirts of Socorro, New Mexico.
This is a fascinating look from the inside out of the Air Forces investigation of this case, which today is still classified as an “Unknown”.
This UFO case has been researched for years now and there is an impressive amount of new data, including footage and audio recording from original witnesses.

Did The American Pilot Die After Seeing A Flying Cone In The Sky?
The mysterious crash in 1970 involved the disappearance of Captain William Schaffner, 28, an American pilot.
The incident took place nearly 50 years ago but created a conspiracy theory that persists until today.
The official conclusion of the unforgettable event regarding the American fighter jet that went down off Britain’s coast was that a tragic accident caused the plane piloted by U.S. Air Force pilot Captain William Schaffner to go down.
However, apparent sightings of flying transparent spheres and mysterious blips on the radar fueled intrigue, mystery, and speculation that UFOs downed the fighter jet XS894.
Adding to the enigma, the body of the pilot was missing after the aircraft was found on the seabed with its canopy closed weeks later.
Captain Schaffner was declared dead, but his body has never been found.
According to RAF Binbrook, Lincolnshire, during the Cold War, the pilot took off on the night of September 8, 1970, into the skies over Grimsby. The 28-year-old pilot then headed out over the North Sea on the way to Flamborough.
But shortly after 10:30 pm, the aircraft ditched into the sea, five miles south of Flamborough Head. Local newspapers covered the air and sea search and rescue operation.
It was revealed on October 7, 1970, that the plane was discovered by Royal Navy divers onboard the HMS Kedleston that sailed to Flamborough but they returned empty-handed as they still did not provide answers.
The plane stayed on the seabed, but the pilot’s body was still missing.
It was only in December that year the submerged plane was brought to the surface. To everyone’s surprise, the cockpit was empty, and the canopy over the cockpit was closed. Immediately rumors started to circulate.
In October 1992, a series of articles written by Pat Otter and published by Grimsby Telegraph brought life to the story with the incident being described as The Riddle of Foxtrot 94.
The writer claimed that there was evidence that out of this world was the cause of the downing and disappearance of the pilot.
Mr. Otter cited unnamed military sources who claimed they had observed UFOs across Grimsby, Flamborough and beyond.
Captain Schaffner was on Quick Reaction Alert duty during this period. He was dispatched to see what was the blips on the radar.
One newspaper report said that the pilot reported spotting a flying cone and a transparent sphere flying around his aircraft, causing malfunctions to his equipment.
In July 1994, the Grimsby Telegraph reported that the cat and mouse chase between Schaffner and the unidentified craft resulted in the death of the captain.
A team at RAF Binbrook said that it was their job to investigate the crash, but they were stalled, and their instruments had disappeared.
Until today, the case remained a mystery despite many things had happened since that day.
Watch Alleged U.S. Navy Footage Seemingly Shows A UFO That Defies Physics
An unidentified flying object that defied physics is claimed to be in a leaked U.S. Navy video footage, which has emerged after a former Area 51 insider shared about the encounter.
Several F-18 pilots are said to have outmaneuvered by extraordinary UFO during the terrifying encounter. Former U.S. national security chief Chris Mellon, who claimed to have spent time at Area 51 military base, said that U.S. Navy personnel aboard the USS Nimitz recorded the UFO on video during the seven-hour encounter.
Mr. Mellon claimed that he served for nearly 20 years in the U.S. federal government in several national security roles under the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
The former national security chief was reportedly on a committee with oversight of all special access programs in Department of Defense. He also said to have spent ten years on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Mr. Mellon is one of the ex-senior government insiders who has gone forward after joining former Blink 182 frontman Tom DeLonge’s alien truth-seeking organization To The Stars Academy.
Mr. Mellon, who also had accessed on classified projects at the highly-secretive military facility in Nevada, detailed the bizarre incident that said to take place off the San Diego coast in broad daylight.
Now, a video has surfaced, claiming to be the footage recorded in 2004. It has been released anonymously and recently doing the rounds on social media.
The clip shows a mysterious object hovering in the skies.
It seems to show one of the F-18’s crosshairs lining the UFO up, but the bizarre thing speeds out of sight.
Many UFO experts believe that the craft disappeared with supersonic speed.
UFOlogist Tyler said that it looks like legit F-18 footage, which has been corroborated by men that were in the incident.
UFOs over Oklahoma caught on video with cell phone
Three videos were submitted with a UFO report submitted to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) on November 9, 2017. The report came from Moore, Oklahoma, and the alleged sighting occurred the same day.
The witness claims to have seen the objects at around 5:15 pm while picking up a child after school. The videos were captured by cell phone. The objects were described as square and dark, and tumbling as they rise higher into the sky. The report was titled, “Two objects floating in the air.”
I was picking my son up from after care at his School in Moore Oklahoma around 5:15pm or so. We came outside and saw two dark objects rising in the air. They were tumbling as the floated up in the air. They kept going up. The look square and dark. I took some videi (sic) with my cell phone.
The objects appear to be silently rising into the air and tumbling as they gain altitude. They do also appear to be square shaped. Although balloons are typically round, party balloons can come in all shapes and sizes. Could these be balloons that have gotten loose?

The vast majority of UFO sightings turn out to be mundane objects, but once in awhile there are sightings that are much more difficult to explain. MUFON conducts investigations on sightings submitted to their website, and if they share their conclusions, we will let you all know. Meanwhile, others will likely chime in and we will try to keep you up to date with any discoveries. Please feel free to share your thoughts on this sighting in the comments below.
Is this the original video of the 1942 ‘Battle of Los Angeles UFO Sighting’?
The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as The Great Los Angeles Air Raid, is the name given by contemporary sources to an incident in Los Angeles, California, in which, after city-wide alarms went off due to an alleged enemy attack, the US antiaircraft defenses touched off a massive barrage of anti-aircraft fire, with some 1400 shells shot into the skies over Los Angeles during the frantic evening.
The incident occurred less than three months after the United States joined the Second World War as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy, and a day after the Ellwood Bombing on February 23.
Initially, it was thought that the barrage of anti-aircraft fire was in response to an attack from the Japanese air force, but speaking at a press conference shortly afterward, US Navy Secretary Frank Knox described the incident as a “false alarm”.
The newspapers of the time published a series of reports and speculated about cover-ups.
Some ufologists have had even claimed that a massive barrage of anti-aircraft fire did not target Japanese bombers, but alien spaceships.
But, as it seems that all ‘good UFO sightings’ are nothing more than weather balloons, in 1983, the United States Air Force History Office attributed the event to a case of “nerves of war” likely triggered by a lost weather balloon and exacerbated by stray flares and shell bursts from adjoining batteries.
Representative Leland Ford of Santa Monica called for a Congressional investigation, saying, “…none of the explanations so far offered removed the episode from the category of ‘complete mystification’ … this was either a practice raid, or a raid to throw a scare into 2,000,000 people, or a mistaken identity raid, or a raid to lay a political foundation to take away Southern California’s war industries.”
However, based mainly on an image, published in the Los Angeles Times on February 26, 1942, Ufologists around the globe believe that the US military did not shoot at a weather balloon or Japenese bombers on the late hours of 24 February to early 25 February, but a real saucer-shaped UFO.
Ufologists assert that the photo clearly shows searchlights focused on an alien spaceship.
Nieuwe film over man met vreemd voorwerp in been. Is dit een buitenaards implantaat?
In een nieuwe documentaire, getiteld Patient Seventeen, is een arts te zien die claimt buitenaardse implantaten te hebben verwijderd uit lichamen van mensen die zeggen ontvoerd te zijn door aliens.
De film volgt een man, Patient Seventeen, die een onbekend implantaat in zijn been heeft. Het implantaat wordt verwijderd en geanalyseerd.
De man gaat op bezoek bij dr. Roger Leir, een arts die claimde al bij meerdere mensen buitenaardse implantaten te hebben verwijderd.
Bepaalde frequentie
Dr. Leir ontdekte naar eigen zeggen dat deze objecten een bepaalde frequentie uitzenden en bestaan uit vreemde legeringen en vreemde isotopen.
Wijlen Harvard-psycholoog John Mack schreef hier vele boeken over, bestudeerde honderden cases en werd bijna ontslagen omdat hij zei dat buitenaardse ontvoeringen geen fictie of een mentale aandoening zijn.
Niet-aardse oorsprong
“Deze gebeurtenissen zijn fysiek, echt en vinden daadwerkelijk plaats,” aldus Mack.
Het object dat in het been van Patient Seventeen zat, bleek te bestaan uit 36 verschillende elementen. Ze wijzen op een niet-aardse oorsprong.
In onderstaande video bespreekt een natuurkundige de verrassende resultaten van zijn analyse:
“Het komt niet van hier,” aldus de natuurkundige. “Dit monster kwam niet uit ons zonnestelsel. Deze isotopen komen niet van nature voor op aarde.”
Looking for a good documentary to watch? THRIVE is an excellent choice, and one of the best documentaries ever made that touches on what’s really happening in our world., and addresses the questions that more and more people are asking every single year. It’s a bit of an unconventional documentary, exploring topics that many people still have yet to wake up to. That being said, THRIVE has accumulated approximately 80 million views, and it’s a great example of how many people continue to ‘wake up’ and take note of what’s happening on our planet, in multiple different areas.
How does THRIVE do this? They follow the money, uncovering the global consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives. Weaving together breakthroughs in science, consciousness and activism, THRIVE offers real solutions, empowering us with unprecedented and bold strategies for reclaiming our lives and our future.
For example, here is a great clip from the film.
“A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many, and various, and powerful interests, combined into one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in the banks.” – John C. Calhoun, 7th Vice President of the United States (source)
It’s a documentary that might conflict with some of your belief systems, but it’s the mark of an educated person to be able to “entertain an idea without accepting it,” as Aristotle once said.
Guest appearances include the 6th man to walk on the Moon, Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Princeton physics professor and NASA astronaut Dr. Brian O’leary, GMO activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Amy Goodman from Democracy Now, and many more.
It’s one of the best documentaries ever made that deals with this type of subject matter. It really makes you think, and encourages one to do some independent research rather than constantly turning on the TV for information.
Here is the trailer, below that you will find the full documentary.
The Film was made by Foster Gamble
The Film was made by Foster and Kimberly Gamble. Foster is an heir to the Proctor & Gamble corporation.
He was groomed to enter into the establishment, but chose a different path. He has spend decades trying to figure out the details and implications of what he has seen happening on the planet. This took him on both a scientific journey and an exploration of the human potential to navigate successfully through the challenges threatening our survival. THRIVE represents the convergence of these two paths.
Kimberly Gamble worked as a former journalist, including for Newsweek International; as founder of a nation-wide program for homeless teens, a producer of large events and a lifelong activist for social justice.
She is also CEO of Thrive Movement International and is currently focusing on developing strategies and raising funds for the global dissemination of new energy and healing technologies, along with other game-changing innovations.

“Er is een macht verrezen binnen de overheid die groter is dan het volk zelf en die bestaat uit vele en verschillende machtige belangen, gecombineerd tot één massa en bij elkaar gehouden door de banken,” zei de zevende vicepresident van de VS, John C. Calhoun, over deze club.
Denken
In de film zie je onder meer de zesde man op de maan, dr. Edgar Mitchell, professor en NASA-astronaut Brian O’Leary en Amy Goodman van Democracy Now!
De film, die is gemaakt door Foster en Kimberly Gamble, zet je aan het denken en moedigt je aan om zelf op onderzoek uit te gaan.
Ander pad
Foster is erfgenaam van het grote bedrijf Proctor & Gamble. Hij werd het establishment binnengeloodst, maar koos een ander pad.
Hij heeft de afgelopen decennia onderzocht wat er allemaal op onze planeet gebeurt en deed opzienbarende ontdekkingen. Bekijk de film hieronder in zijn geheel:
Inquest into the unexplained death of a British conspiracy theorist who died after vomiting two litres of black blood in Poland is mysteriously delayed AGAIN
Father-of-two Max Spiers, 39, was found dead in Poland in October last year
He had travelled to the country to talk about conspiracy theories and UFOs
His mother said he was 'digging in dark places and somebody wanted him dead'
Max Spiers was found dead in an apartment in Poland in October 2016
An inquest into the mysterious death of a British conspiracy theorist who died after 'vomiting black liquid' on a trip to Poland has been postponed.
The sudden death of Max Spiers, 39, remains shrouded in suspicion after a friend discovered his body during a trip to Poland.
His inquest opened in December 2016 and the court heard he vomited two litres of black blood before he died.
It was due to resume this Thursday in Maidstone, Kent, but has now been adjourned again with no explanation for the delay and little prospect of it happening this year.
The father-of-two, from Canterbury, had become world-famous in the shadowy world of conspiracy theories and allegedly made many 'enemies' in his investigations.
Shortly before his death, Mr Spiers was said to have been probing the lives of well-known figures in politics, business and entertainment.
At the time his mother Vanessa Bates, 63, said she feared the worst.
She said: 'I think Max had been digging in some dark places and somebody wanted him dead.'
Authorities in Poland, where Mr Spiers was attending a conference, initially concluded the sudden death was due to natural causes.
Mr Spiers was said to have been probing the lives of well-known figures and his mother Vanessa Bates (pictured) said: 'I think Max had been digging in some dark places and somebody wanted him dead'
Max was due to appear at the Bases 2016 International Conference into conspiracy theories and the supernatural (right)
Mr Spiers was known as a 'supersoldier' by his followers and those in the conspiracy and supernatural community, and went to school with the actor Orlando Bloom.
After his body was repatriated to the UK, doctors at a Margate hospital were unable to determine the cause of his death.
Kent Police then launched a joint investigation with Polish police into the conspiracy theorist's death.
At an inquest opening in Canterbury in December 2016, the court heard how the 39-year-old had been visiting Poland to speak at a conference after holidaying with a friend in Cyprus.
In a statement, coroner's investigations officer Caroline O'Donnell said: 'When they returned, Mr Spiers became ill with a high temperature and was weak.
'The following day, Mr Spiers vomited two litres of black fluid. The friend called a doctor who attempted resuscitation before pronouncing him dead.'
Mr Spiers was known as a 'supersoldier' by his followers and those in the conspiracy and supernatural community, and went to school with the actor Orlando Bloom
Max's mother (pictured with her son), is hopeful the investigation will shed light on his mysterious death
His mother is hopeful the investigation will shed light on the mysterious death.
'It's been a long time coming, but I'm just relieved that at last something is happening and there is a proper investigation and inquest,' she added.
Her theory was shared by many online, with other conspiracy theorists, UFO investigators and bloggers calling the circumstances of Mr Spiers' death suspicious.
At the time, Coroner Alan Blunsdon told the court he was still awaiting a report from Polish authorities, adding that the workload of Kent Police may delay forensic analysis of Mr Spiers' phone and computer.
Onderzoek naar mysterieuze dood Britse complottheoreticus alweer uitgesteld. Wat is er gebeurd met Max Spiers?
Het onderzoek naar de mysterieuze dood van een Britse complottheoreticus die stierf nadat hij twee liter ‘zwarte vloeistof’ had gebraakt, is uitgesteld.
De plotse dood van Max Spiers (39) blijft gehuld in mysterie. Het onderzoek werd in december vorig jaar geopend.
Het zou deze week worden hervat in het Engelse Kent, maar is nu opnieuw uitgesteld. Er is geen reden gegeven voor de vertraging.
Vijanden
Spiers, vader van twee, werd beroemd in de wereld van complottheorieën en zou tijdens zijn onderzoeken vele ‘vijanden’ hebben gemaakt.
Kort voor zijn dood zou hij onderzoek hebben gedaan naar het leven van bekende politici, zakenlieden en mensen uit de entertainmentwereld.
Moeder Vanessa Bates (63) vreesde het ergste. “Ik denk dat Max zijn neus in de verkeerde zaken heeft gestopt en dat iemand hem dood wilde hebben.”
Supersoldaat
De autoriteiten in Polen, waar Spiers een bijeenkomst bijwoonde, concludeerden in eerste instantie dat hij een natuurlijke dood was gestorven.
Hij stond bij zijn volgers bekend als een ‘supersoldaat’ en zat in de klas bij acteur Orlando Bloom.
Hoopvol
Nadat zijn lichaam in Groot-Brittannië was aangekomen konden dokters geen doodsoorzaak vaststellen. De politie in Kent stelde vervolgens een onderzoek in naar de dood van de complottheoreticus.
Zijn moeder is hoopvol dat het onderzoek meer duidelijkheid zal brengen over de mysterieuze dood. “Ik ben blij dat er nu iets gebeurt en dat er een serieus onderzoek is opgestart,” zei ze.
OUDE OPNAMES VAN BUITENAARDS WEZEN ONTDEKT ( VIDEO )
Ergens diep verborgen op het zogenaamde "dark web" vond een UFO-onderzoeker oude filmopnames die in 1992 gemaakt zouden zijn in Zwitserland.
Op de beelden is te zien wat niet anders omschreven kan worden als een buitenaards wezen.
Het verhaal staat uitgebreid in een grote Engelse krant en het betreft opnames die zouden zijn gemaakt van een zogenaamde EBE in 1992 in Eiger in Zwitserland.
De afkorting EBE staat voor Extraterrestrial Biological Entity, hetgeen betekent dat het een buitenaards wezen is.
Dat er ongeveer zo uit ziet.
Degene die de beelden heeft gepubliceerd zegt hij dat deze per ongeluk tegenkwam op het dark web. (Het dark web is een onderdeel van het wereldwijde web dat niet rechtstreeks vindbaar is voor de zoekmachines.)
Volgens de uploader van de video lijkt het erop dat er destijds videobeelden zijn gemaakt van foto's.
De beelden tonen inderdaad een wezen dat je kunt omschrijven als een soort stereotyp buitenaards wezen, met een groot hoofd en ogen en lange dunne armen.
En dan ontstaat natuurlijk de discussie of beelden echt zijn of nep.
Hierna volgt de video zoals die is verschenen op Youtube. In het Engelse krantenartikel wordt melding gemaakt van mensen die het een hoax vinden en daarom hebben zij contact opgenomen met het betreffende Youtube kanaal, Ufo Today, waar men volhoudt dat deze opnames inderdaad zijn gevonden op het dark web en dat er, door hen althans, niets mee is gedaan.
De volgende video is wat langer en is gemaakt door iemand die veel opnames heeft gezien van vooral nepaliens en volgens zijn/haar eerste analyse konden de beelden wel eens echt zijn.
Dat zou natuurlijk prachtig zijn na de vele nepbeelden die in de loop der jaren op het internet zijn verschenen. Echter, het is nog te vroeg om te juichen, want misschien zullen er andere ontdekkingen worden gedaan, waardoor misschien ook deze opnames niet echt blijken te zijn, maar vooralsnog lijken ze authentiek.
VERDWENEN ZIEKENHUISPATIËNT DOOD TERUGGEVONDEN IN PLAFOND
In Zuid Afrika gebeuren soms vreemde dingen, waarvan men zegt dat deze te maken hebben met voodoo rituelen en teleportatie.
Dat is een mogelijke verklaring voor een 61-jarige patiënt die na een operatie plotsklaps verdween uit zijn bed en twee weken later dood in het plafond werd teruggevonden.
We weten al via Dr. Roel dat een ziekenhuis een gevaarlijke plek is om te verblijven en hóe gevaarlijk blijkt ook uit het volgende verhaal dat zich afspeelt in Zuid Afrika in de plaats Stellenbosch.
Begin oktober onderging de 61-jarige Teteteke Gqotsi een operatie. De vader van zes kinderen doorstond de operatie goed en werd vervolgens naar de zaal gebracht om verder te herstellen. De verpleging was er dan ook van overtuigd dat de patiënt voorspoedig zou genezen.
Op 5 oktober lag Gqosi dan ook normaal in zijn bed toen een verpleegster 's morgens vroeg de kamer binnenkwam. Alles was normaal en de verpleegster verliet de kamer enkele minuten om schoon beddengoed te halen en toen ze terugkwam, was het bed leeg.
En daarmee begint het grote mysterie rondom Teteteke Gqotsi.
Volgens de broer van Gqotsi was de patiënt niet in staat om te lopen omdat hij net daarvoor een operatie had ondergaan.
En toch is de man binnen een tijdsbestek van enkele minuten volkomen verdwenen.
Vervolgens gebeurt er een dag helemaal niets en krijgt de familie op 7 oktober een telefoontje van het ziekenhuis met de vraag of ze Gqotsi kunnen spreken. De familie antwoord daarop dat ze niet bij hen moeten zijn omdat hij in het ziekenhuis ligt.
Uiteindelijk wordt ook de politie erbij gehaald en begint men met zoeken, maar helaas zonder enig resultaat.
Het is 13 dagen later, wanneer het lichaam van Gqotsi wordt aangetroffen in het plafond van het ziekenhuis. Niet in het plafond van de zaal, maar van een deel van het ziekenhuis waar renovatiewerkzaamheden worden uitgevoerd.
Nog steeds is het een mysterie hoe het lichaam van een geopereerde patiënt van het ene op het andere moment kan verdwijnen uit zijn ziekenhuisbed om weken later dood boven water te komen in het plafond.
Niet zo vreemd dan natuurlijk dat er druk wordt gespeculeerd over hoe dit heeft kunnen gebeuren. En omdat dit Afrika is, komen er al snel theorieën naar boven over voodoopraktijken en zelfs teleportatie.
Is het toch een "gewone" moord, waarbij de dader erin slaagde om binnen enkele minuten Qqotsi ongezien uit zijn bed te sleuren zonder ook maar enig lawaai te maken, te vermoorden en dan op klaarlichte dag het lichaam in het plafond te verstoppen óf is er inderdaad sprake van geheimzinnige voodoopraktijken?
Hoe dan ook, de moraal van het verhaal is duidelijk:
Als het even kan, blijf weg uit ziekenhuizen en je kunt om je gezondheid te helpen dan bijvoorbeeld nog even snel gebruikmaken van de Orjana aanbieding voor Niburulezers deze week, die we hierna nog even zullen herhalen:
Wat wel iedereen kan doen, roker of niet roker, is gebruikmaken van de Orjana aanbieding van deze week voor lezers van Niburu om de door Mike Adams van Natural News als beste geteste bio-chlorella met tien procent korting aan te schaffen. Als je dat wilt, voer dan bij het afrekenen de code "10alg" in en bedenk dat je voor de prijs van een paar pakjes sigaretten je lichaam een groot plezier doet. En bovendien helpt om van gifstoffen af te komen, wat dubbel fijn is als je inderdaad stopt. De actie is geldig t/m zondag 12 november 2017.
Given the opportunity to pick one science fiction technology from Star Wars to implement in the present day, death rays and laser cannons on aircraft would certainly be near the top of most military wish lists. Some Air Force general must have been rubbing his magic lamp really hard because Lockheed Martin has committed to providing laser weapons for fighter jets by 2021. Did you hear that, Chewy?
Illustration showing a tactical fighter jet with a high energy laser weapon system blasting something in
“It’s a completely new and different challenge to get a laser system into a smaller, airborne test platform. It’s exciting to see this technology mature enough to embed in an aircraft.”
Too big to put on a jet
In a press release this week, Dr. Rob Afzal, senior fellow of laser weapon systems at Lockheed, described what the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) will get in return for a $26.3 million contract for a high power fiber laser. The technology is based on Lockheed’s 60 kW-class laser that can be mounted on land vehicles and has been swatting drones like annoying missile-firing flies in tests. However, putting that same technology on an aircraft is not easy as just checking it in as a carry-on bag upon boarding.
“We have developed innovative fiber lasers, sophisticated beam control and auxiliary technologies. Combined with expert platform integration, these advances enable offensive and defensive capabilities against a growing range of threats to military forces and infrastructure.”
The fiber laser technology is the key to the Air Force’s Self-protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator (SHiELD) program, which will integrate the laser (Laser Advancements for Next-generation Compact Environments or LANCE) into a beam control system for directing the laser (SHiELD Turret Research in Aero Effects or STRAFE) and a special pod to keep the laser cool while firing (Laser Pod Research & Development or LPRD). This also puts Lockheed at the forefront of clever acronym development, which includes Accelerated Laser Demonstration Initiative (ALADIN), Advanced Test High Energy Asset (ATHENA) and Area Defense Anti-Munitions (ADAM).
Is this next?
In an interview with CNBC, defense analyst Daniel Goure describes the benefits of airborne lasers:
“You get a low cost per shot — much cheaper than a missile in almost every case. One of the things we find in a lot of our systems — land, sea and air — is that we run out of shots particularly on the defense. You just run out of bullets or missiles. And if you have laser, it avoids having to reload.”
Even at low settings, LANCE will be able to blind or stun enemies like a giant laser pointer.
Will this death ray be installed on the TR-3B Black Triangle? Or is this just a clever smokescreen to hide the fact that it’s already there?
Unknown anomaly near the sun captured during stunning sunrise over Guadalajara, Mexico
A live footage from the webcamsdemexico taken on November 5, 2017, location Guadalajara, Mexico shows a stunning sunrise at 6.57 am but one hour before sunrise a massive fog/cloud formation covers the whole area and there are multiple unknown light sources all passing over where the sun was due to rise.
Also there is a volcano in the background, which could have created the foggy appearance, but if you noticed as the sun rose all traces miraculously disappeared, also the volcano itself did not seem to be very active.
According to Expitaly here we are seeing the tell-tale signs of geoengineering to cover all areas around the sun especially around the times of sunrise/sunset to hide unknown objects near the sun.
In the video he underlines his thoughts by pointing out that there is a planet in the background that is clearly visible when the video is slowed down. Then what we see is that the next thing that happens is that they laid out a black chemtrail as a smokey emergency action until they could get a regular jet up in the air in that particular area.
Regardless of whether his analysis is right or wrong, it remains an amazing sunrise above Guadalajara in Mexico.
Secret Base Hidden In Mysterious 150-Mile Anomaly, Conspiracy Theorists Claim
A theory of a secret Nazi UFO base has arisen after the discovery of a mysterious anomaly in the Antarctic.
A team of UFO hunters claims that Nazis created secret bases in Antarctica that were designed for UFOs during World War 2.
The so-called anomaly stretches around 150 miles across with an estimated depth of 850 meters. It is discovered in Wilkes Land, a frozen wasteland in Antarctica.
SecureTeam10 said there’s something alien-related thing buried deep under this thick ice shelf and scientists have no idea about it to this day. They further stated that the continent had been covered in mystery for years now.
In their video, the team claimed that images are showing several entrances designed with a saucer shape and at a very high altitude in the side of the mountains. It seems that these openings were intended for something that could fly with a saucer shape.
The group also shared the possibility of the US Navy leading a mission to look into the anomaly. They claimed that the mission was called Operation High Jump, which they believe an attempt to discover an entrance to a hidden world beneath the Earth.
The NASA satellite imagery first discovered the strange shape beneath Antarctica in 2006. Some researchers suggested the anomaly was the result of an asteroid impact twice the size of the one that made dinosaurs extinct.
UFO caught on tape over Vancouver, Canada 7-Nov-2017
Here’s one new UFO video of a bright object in the sky above Vancouver in Canada. This was filmed on 7th November 2017.
Witness report:
looked initially like a shooting star was why i started to grab my camera to film. Then all sudden bright light and flew diff direction I was coming back from work. Saw it look like a shooting star so I began to take out my phone to film the shooting star. However, it started to stop and brighten up and then began to move in a different direction and thats when I began recording. I was too confused and assume its a plane so I just ignored it till I got home and looked at it again and thought maybe it could be something else?
I have always been rather fascinated by the fact that strange tales, ominous curses, and inexplicable deaths or vanishings can revolve around some of the more gorgeous of locales. There seems to be some disconnect between the awe-inspiring beauty to be found here and the often very dark legends and unsolved mysteries that pervade them. It is strange to think that coursing under the veneer of such natural splendor there is a dark current of the unexplained and perhaps even evil. Such places can be at once achingly saturated with beauty yet also imbued with a sense of inexplicable dread and an unsettling quality of doom. One such place is the world famous Yosemite National Park of California, in the United States. It is a hauntingly beautiful expanse which simultaneously seems to be actually haunted, and ground zero for a slew of strange vanishings as well.
Sprawled out across 747,956 acres (1,168.681 sq. mi) of wilderness in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California, in the United States, is the majestic Yosemite National Park. Known throughout the world for its amazing vistas of pristine mountainous wilderness, glaciers, towering giant sequoia trees, looming granite cliffs, unique geologic formations, breathtaking waterfalls, wildlife, and incredibly clear lakes and streams, Yosemite has been registered as a World Heritage Site and draws in around 4 to 5 million visitors every year from every corner of the globe. It would seem at first glance that such natural splendor would be one of the last places where one would expect to find dark mysteries and the supernatural, but the park has a surprising amount of such phenomena, including curses, hauntings, and bizarre unsolved vanishings.
One of the most persistent locations of strange legends and mysterious occurrences within Yosemite National Park is a place called Tenaya Canyon, which runs from Tenaya lake to meander through the landscape in a series of picturesque deep pools, waterfalls and flowing cascades to its final destination of a stark drop into another deep canyon at the granite mountain called Cloud’s Rest, situated right next to the iconic and spectacular Half Dome. A stunningly beautiful yet treacherous spot, Tenaya Canyon has been shrouded in myth and strangeness since just about as long as humans have been in the area, and it is also steeped in a rather dark and violent history that has given rise to rumors of a sinister curse hanging over the area.
Yosemite National Park
When white settlers arrived in Yosemite Valley they encountered a tribe of Native Americans called the Ahwahnee, who were a peaceful people but also prone to occasionally poaching livestock from their new neighbors. In the 1850s, the whites decided that they had had enough of sharing the land with the troublesome natives, and sought to relocate the Ahwahnee to a reservation off in Fresno, California. The normally peaceful Ahwahnee, led by a Chief Tenaya, did not go perhaps as compliantly as was expected, actively and vocally defying the order to get out. Eventually, the white settlers sent in a contingent of armed men led by a Captain John Boling to forcibly remove the tribe, and things went just about as well as you would expect.
Instead of fleeing in fear, as was expected of the usually apparently docile natives, the Ahwahnee instead opted to stubbornly stand their ground and fight. During the ensuing violence, Chief Tenaya’s son was among the dead, which sent him into a profound rage in which he invoked a curse on the valley against the white man. The chief supposedly blared out this curse as he was confronted by an armed captain during the battle, saying:
Kill me, sir captain! Yes kill me, as you killed my son; as you would kill my people if they were to come to you! You would kill all my race if you had the power. You have made me sorrowful, my life dark; you killed the child of my heart, why not kill the father? You may kill me sir captain, but you shall not live in peace, I will follow in your footsteps, I will not leave my home but be with the spirits among the rocks, the waterfalls, in the rivers and in the wind; wheresoever you go I will be with you. You will not see me, but you will fear the spirit of the old chief, and grow cold.
Chief Tenaya of the Ahwahnee
Since then, the chief has allegedly been true to his words, and in the years since that fateful day Tenaya Canyon, and by some accounts the whole Yosemite Valley, has been said to be plagued by all manners of freak accidents, strange deaths, mishaps, and unexplained phenomena such as unexplained noises and shadowy apparitions. There are supposedly far more incidents of rock climbing and hiking accidents and fatalities in the Tenaya area than other places in the park, and so many people have gone missing here that it has garnered itself the ominous nickname of “The Bermuda Triangle of Yosemite.” Even the legendary naturalist and extremely experienced mountaineer John Muir was not immune to this supposed curse, when he met with a near-fatal accident while exploring the canyon in 1873, which he later wrote of in his 1918 book Steep Trails, saying:
I was ascending a precipitous rock front, smoothed by glacial action, when I suddenly fell—for the first time since I touched foot to Sierra rocks. After several somersaults, I became insensible from the shock, and when consciousness returned I found myself wedged among short, stiff bushes… I could not remember what made me fall, or where I had fallen from; but I saw that if I had rolled a little further, my mountain climbing would have been finished, for just beyond the bushes the canyon wall steepened and I might have fallen to the bottom.
Of course, considering that the terrain here is notorious for being some of the most hostile and forbidding in the entire park it may not be surprising that there should be so many disappearances, deaths, and accidents at Tenaya Canyon. Here there are numerous sharp drops, sheer rock walls, uneven, often slippery footing, and precarious climbs daunting to even the most experienced of hikers. It is a place of natural danger, and indeed the 10-mile trail along its length harbors numerous warning signs proclaiming the perils of continuing, and the official park trail guide map marks the hike in stark red with a disclaimer reading, “Hiking in Tenaya Canyon is dangerous and strongly discouraged.”
Tenaya Canyon
Whether the canyon is truly cursed or not, there are certainly a lot of supposedly haunted places around Yosemite Park as well. One of the most notorious of these is the former Ahwahnee Hotel, spookily named after the previously mentioned doomed tribe. Opened in 1927 just a short distance from Half Dome, the Ahwahnee Hotel at the time was a big deal in that it was a large, luxurious hotel in an area known for mostly camping and small lodges, and its elegant yet rustic, organic feel and the majestic grandeur of its scenic surroundings quickly made it a popular destination for the many tourists who pour into the area every year. It has also become well-known for being rather intensely haunted.
There are numerous ghosts said to inhabit the hotel, such as that of a woman named Mary Curry Tressider, who had been part of the hotel’s design and opening and who lived and died in her private apartment here in 1970. Her spirit supposedly lingers on the 6th floor, where her room was located, and sightings of her ghost are frequently reported by staff and guests alike. The entity is said to be prankish more than frightening, and is known for tucking in visitors as they sleep, folding clothes, and misplacing items around rooms, as well as calling out to guests.
Another spirit said to inhabit the Ahwahnee Hotel is connected to a rocking chair kept in the room that former U.S. president John F. Kennedy stayed in during a visit in 1962. At the time the chair had been put in the room at the president’s request, as he had claimed that he had been having back pain, and he reportedly spent a lot of time sitting there calmly rocking away. The chair was removed from the room when he left, but oddly enough since his death a spectral rocking chair has often been reported moving on its own in rooms and halls throughout the hotel’s 3rd floor, which is where Kennedy’s room had been, and especially in the actual room itself. Although these are the two most well-known of the hotel’s phantoms, the entire premises have provided their fair share of accounts of anomalous noises, disembodied footsteps, and apparitions, and the Awahnee hotel helped to inspire the look and design of the Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick’s classic horror film The Shining.
The Ahwahnee Hotel
Another haunted hotel in Yosemite National Park is the Sierra Sky Ranch, and considering its historical pedigree it is perhaps no surprise at all that ghosts should call this place home. Originally built in 1877, the Sierra Sky Ranch started its life as a sanitarium for housing and quarantining victims of tuberculosis, who lived mostly in squalor forgotten by society and many of whom died here, including children. In later years the premises became a home for veterans of World War I, after which it went on to become the modest, 29-room hotel it is today, where guests constantly report a range of weird paranormal activity.
One of the most common types of ghostly occurrence at the Sierra Sky Ranch is that of phantom children, who are said to run up and down stairs and halls, and who can be heard giggling, whispering, or talking when no one is around or in the very walls themselves. These spectral children are reportedly most often sighted in the media room and the main living room area of the hotel, and are blamed for some of the anomalous poltergeist activity reported from here, such as lights, faucets, or appliances turning on or off by themselves, doors opening or slamming shut when no one is around, and guests’ clothes being tugged by unseen hands. Other ghosts said to inhabit the Sierra Sky Ranch are a woman who supposedly lurks about the main house and library and who smells of perfume, a ghostly bar patron who kisses bar visitors and bartenders on the cheek, and the more sinister entity of a scowling, angry looking man who paces about on the hotel veranda and is known to violently knock over furniture.
Besides hotels, some natural landmarks of Yosemite are also said to be haunted. One of the most famous ghosts of the park is said to lurk in Grouse Lake, and was first officially reported in 1857 by Galen Clark, who was to later become Yosemite’s very first park ranger in 1867. Clark had his strange experience as he was out on a hike to the small alpine lake, and he claimed that as he walked along its shores that he had heard a chilling, unearthly wail seeming to come from the water itself and sounding like “a puppy when lost.” The unsettled Clark would later ask some Native Americans of the area what kind of animal it was that he had heard or if they had a dog that could have made the noise, and they proceeded to tell him that it was no animal or dog, but rather the spirit of a tribal boy who had tragically drowned there years ago and who did not take kindly to visitors. It was even claimed that he would attack anyone who set foot in the water. Clark would write of this:
They replied that it was not a dog—that a long time ago an Indian boy had been drowned in the lake, and that every time anyone passed there he always cried after them, and no one dared go into the lake, for (the boy) would catch them by the legs and pull them down and they would be drowned. I then concluded that it must have been some unseen waterfowl that made that cry, and at that time I thought that the Indians were trying to impose on my credulity, but I am now convinced they fully believed the story they told me.
There is also the haunting of perhaps Yosemite’s most famous waterfalls, Bridalveil Fall, which cascades 617 feet down a sheer granite cliff. The Ahwahnee tribe believed that the fall was the haunt of an evil spirit called Pohono, who was known to try and lure unsuspecting victims over the precipice to their deaths. The method by which the spirit was said to do this varied, in some cases using hypnotic rainbows in the mist to draw people closer and in other cases calling out to use curiosity against victims or even appearing as an apparition to beckon people closer, after which a strong gust of wind would fling them over the fall. Indeed, there have been a few recorded deaths of people being blown over the fall or slipping and falling to the rocks far below, and the winds are said to be very unpredictable at the top. Campers in the area have also reported hearing strange voices or sounds coming from the direction of the fall at night. Whether this is the doing of an evil spirit or not, in present day there are many railings in place to keep people from getting too close.
Bridalveil Fall
A strange case I found of a possible ghost roaming the wilderness of Yosemite concerns a 26-year-old Christopher Thompson, who claims that during one camping trip to the park he came across something very strange indeed. He says that as he went out to get some firewood he spied an old Native American man standing by his tent, who wore some sort of bell around his neck that rang out every time he moved. The mysterious man then allegedly asked Thompson for a ride out to the main road because he had gotten lost. Thompson decided to drive him all the way to the ranger’s office as it was getting dark outside, and when they reached his truck the witness claims that the old man insisted on sitting in the back seat.
So far, so weird, but it would get stranger still. Thompson claims that as he got into the truck he caught a glimpse of the old Native man in the side mirror, and that he was swaying and muttering some sort of chant in some alien language. After this, Thompson panicked and drove off on his own to the ranger’s office, where he reported the whole creepy encounter. He would later find that the mysterious figure had left something rather odd behind in the form of an animal skin pouch that was found to contain strange stones and herbs, which locals informed him were cursed. Thompson would say, “I’m still haunted by dreams where I’m paralyzed and I can still hear him muttering that chant.” It is an odd tale to be sure, and one wonders just who or what he encountered out there in those woods.
Besides curses and hauntings, Yosemite has been the location of a fair number of inexplicable disappearances as well. By far the most oft-discussed and hotly debated mysterious vanishings to have occurred at Yosemite National Park is the disappearance of 14-year-old Stacy Ann Arras in 1981. On the afternoon on July 17, 1981, Arras was on a camping trip with her father and 6 others at the Sunrise Sierra Camp, a small cluster of cabins for people passing through on hikes along the popular “mountain chalet” loop. Arras had arrived on horseback with her group, and she soon expressed interest in taking some photos of a nearby lake. Since it was not far her father did not deem it necessary to go with her, but another member of the group, a 72-year-old man, decided to go with her.
As they approached the lake, the man reportedly sat down to take a rest as Arras went on ahead. In the meantime, other members of the group looked down on the whole thing from a ridge, and watched as Arras disappeared into some trees. When she did not return within a reasonable length of time the group went off looking for her but would find only the lens of her camera and no other trace of the girl whatsoever. An extensive official search of the area using helicopters and tracker dogs would have no further luck, and eventually it was called off with no evidence at all of what had happened to Stacy Arras or where she had gone. Park superintendent Robert Binnewies would say at the time, “She just seems to have disappeared.”
The strange disappearance of Stacy Ann Arras gained a fair amount of publicity and gained a cult following among researchers of the paranormal and unexplained, and the case has gained quite a lot of notoriety through the work of David Paulides, a famous author on mysterious vanishings who has written numerous books on the matter, in particular on those which have occurred within U.S. national parks. Paulides added some sinister intrigue when he claimed that from the beginning of his investigation of the Arras case park officials were evasive and reticent to release any information on it when faced with a request under the Freedom of Information Act, even going as far as to allegedly deliberately withhold, obfuscate, and flat-out hide facts relating to it. Indeed, Paulides has repeatedly accused national park officials as being corrupt and suspiciously secretive on such mysterious disappearances. Is there something sinister going on behind this case? It is hard to say, and the Arras disappearance has gone on to become widely discussed and picked apart all over the Internet with no solution in sight.
Stacy Ann Arras
More recent disappearances include the 2005 vanishing of 51-year-old Michael Allen Ficery, who was an avid, experienced hiker and backpacker. On June 15, 2005, Ficery headed out on a hike along the north end of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, but at some point changed his mind and went up to the Pacific Crest Trail. This would be the last time anyone would see him. When he did not return after his wilderness permit expired a search was carried out, but all that could be found was a backpack containing a topographical map, a camera and a bottle of water. A massive search involving personnel from five counties utilizing aircraft and tracker dogs were unable to find any trace of the missing hiker, and his case remains utterly unsolved.
In June of 2011 there was the case of 30-year-old George Penca, who was out hiking at the Upper Yosemite Falls with his church group. During the hike, Penca fell behind the group and proceeded to completely vanish off the face of the earth. Despite extensive searches of the area, no sign of him was found. Strangely, Yosemite National Park unceremoniously and discreetly took down his missing persons page in the coming weeks. Perhaps even stranger still is the disappearance of 35-year-old Allen Martin, of Modesto, California in February of 2016. On the evening of February 9, 2016, Martin visited the Chicken Ranch Casino and left the premises at approximately 4:08 PM. Security footage captured him walking across the parking lot and he then apparently walked right off the face of the earth. Martin has not been seen since.
Yosemite National Park is a place of great beauty, but it is also one of great mystery. From ancient Native curses, to ghosts, to mysterious disappearances, it is fascinating to see how a locale of such natural splendor can also harbor such dark secrets. Do some areas hold close to them some force or presence that creates this aura of sinister energy? Is there some unique quality to these locations that invites the weird and the paranormal? Or are these just the product of over-active imaginations and the perilous terrain inherit to such places? Whatever the answer may be, Yosemite National Park continues to be one of the most beloved national parks in the United States, and also one of the most mysterious.
peter2011 :in september 2017 I have visited Yosemite Parc and I saw nothing abnormal; only a very gorgeous and amazing nature... I'll give this article just because I want to let all visions to bid come on this forum!
NASA-backed scientists hope project advances plans to search moons for extraterrestrial life
Kris Snibbe/Harvard Staff Photographer
Peter Girguis, professor of organismic and evolutionary biology, is collaborating with NASA to develop deep-sea technology to search for life on the solar systems' ocean moons.
Scientists from Harvard and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institutionare collaborating on deep-sea technologies that could be a model for exploring oceans on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
The ABISS project aims to create an autonomous ocean-floor observatory equipped to kick into high gear when something interesting happens, switching on cameras and sophisticated sensors and wirelessly alerting researchers hundreds of miles away.
All that sounds good to NASA. The agency is funding the project as it grapples with the likelihood that the search for extraterrestrial life will lead underwater, from the dry terrain of Mars to ice-encrusted oceans on Jupiter’s Europa, Saturn’s Enceladus, and other moons.
“One of the things we learn [with] ABISS is how exploration like this can be done remotely,” said Mary Voytek, NASA’s senior scientist for astrobiology. “We’re not going to be sending ships out there. We’re going to be sending something that will be able to penetrate the ice and then, once below the surface of the ice, will be into the ocean and … will have to operate remotely and autonomously.”
ABISS, which stands for autonomous biogeochemical instrument for in situ studies, is led by Harvard biologist Peter Girguis with Woods Hole colleagues Norman Farr and Clifford Pontbriand. Girguis said the project seeks to harness advances in robotics, big data, and telecommunications to advance ocean exploration, here and out there.
Earth’s oceans are mysterious, hard to get to, and hostile to sustained exploration. The sea floor is miles below the surface, with temperatures just above freezing, crushing pressure, and total darkness. Communication is difficult because water blocks the radio waves that make surface communications comparatively effortless.

Just as in space exploration, Girguis noted, terrestrial oceanographers are looking for life. Though some 2 million species of marine animals have been identified, there are an estimated 18 million still to be found, he said. They live in the deep ocean, starting a half-mile below the illuminated surface.
“We really know so little about our oceans,” Girguis said. “Eighty percent of our planet’s living space is in the deep sea, by volume.”
Interest in extraterrestrial oceans was piqued by the Cassini spacecraft’s 13-year tour of Saturn’s moons, during which it observed plumes of water vapor shooting from the icy surface of Enceladus. Europa, thought to have an ice-covered ocean, is the focus of the planned Europa Clipper, which would focus instruments on the moon’s surface during dozens of fly-bys sometime after 2020.
Plenty of work remains for the three-year ABISS project. This past summer, Girguis and Pontbriand spent a week off the California coast aboard the E.V. Nautilus, a research ship run by explorer Robert Ballard’s Ocean Exploration Trust, tackling challenges in communications. Scientists working underwater usually communicate via cumbersome cables to the mother ship or wireless acoustic technology akin to sonar. The acoustic signals can transmit over long distances, but with very limited bandwidth, similar to that offered by dial-up computer modems. (“You can forget pictures,” Girguis said.)
Girguis and Pontbriand tested an alternative, developed in 2005 at Woods Hole, that uses light to transmit information at broadband speeds. The optical modem’s range is limited by water’s ability to absorb light, but in the clear water of the ocean floor, it can transmit images and video 100 meters. The test sought to integrate the optical modem with cameras and other gear on the ABISS observatory.
“We’re really excited to have the opportunity to use our technology to get the experiment going,” Pontbriand said.
Other goals of the project, Girguis said, include improving battery life in hopes of an observatory that can operate a year or more without needing service. Another major objective is to make sensors as energy-efficient as possible and get them to communicate with each other. Ultimately, Girguis said, he’d like the ABISS chemical sensor to run all the time, waking the microbial sensor to gather additional data when methane or other life molecules are detected.
Girguis isn’t certain that life will be found elsewhere in the solar system, but has no trouble imagining plausible scenarios. Some microbes can survive a journey through space’s vacuum, he noted, and Earth’s bombardment by meteors and comets provides a mechanism for rocks carrying them to be blasted into space. Pontbriand, meanwhile, isn’t sold that the devices he’s had a hand in building one day might be deployed in a search for extraterrestrial life.
“It does seem farfetched, even to me,” Pontbriand said. “But it would be great to see it happen.”
The ideal ABISS observatory would be able to provide long-term data gathering anywhere, Girguis and Pontbriand said. Information — including bandwidth-gobbling images and video – would be transferred to an untethered robotic sub. The sub would rise to the surface and transmit to a nearby boat, satellite, or spacecraft, which would then convey the data to labs.
“In order to do exploration of this kind, we need to understand the strategy for exploration or science operations,” said NASA’s Voytek. “Projects like ABISS start teaching us what that’s like: What are the limitations? What are the things we need to further develop?”
Tiny organisms living below the surface of Mars could potentially survive for millions of years, scientists have suggested, potentially offering hope to alien lovers that there could be extraterrestrial life hiding underneath the planet’s red exterior or elsewhere in the universe.
The team studied how hardy microbes are in the face of gamma radiation, which can be dangerous on Mars because that planet does not have the cushy, protective atmosphere that Earth does. To mimic the Martian setting, the researchers conducted their tests in a climate chamber under low temperatures, low air pressure and “dehydration conditions,” according to a study in the journalExtremophiles. Their goal was to figure out whether Earth microorganisms could survive long-term in a frozen state below the Martian surface during “constant absorption and accumulation of the gamma radiation dose.”
Those organisms fared fairly well: Even after the radiation, the cells remained at high levels and were still capable of performing metabolic activity.
And the deeper microorganisms would go beneath the surface, the less exposure they would have to radiation, meaning their survival rates could increase with depth. About 6.5 feet down, they might be able to live for more than 3 million years, and they could potentially survive for 20 million years when they are roughly 16 feet down.
“Investigated microbial communities had shown high resistance to a simulated Martian environment,” the paper said. “The results of the study testify that long-term preservation of microbial life inside Martian permafrost is possible.”
Scientists have suggested that microorganisms can survive the radiation on Mars for millions of years, giving hope to people who want to find alien life on that inhospitable planet.

According to the researchers, knowing the limit of how much radiation the cells can handle before they are destroyed will be important in picking places to explore, developing different methods to search for alien life and planning other missions.
“Until now, no one knew to what extent microorganisms can resist such extreme factors,” Lomonosov Moscow State University said in a statement. “By finding out the limits, scientists can assess the possibility of microorganisms and biomarkers surviving in various objects inside the solar system.”
The findings about microbes’ ability to persevere underground on Mars could be good news to people who have been disappointed to find how inhospitable the surface is. Previous research has suggested life cannot last above ground on Mars — scientists reported earlier this year that some of the most common bacteria on Earth dies when the elements on the Martian surface interact with radiation to make a killer mixture.
The new research also showed there could be different kinds of bacteria that are more resistant to the harsh conditions on Mars than others. Some of those bacteria have previously been found to outlast ultraviolet radiation on Earth, the university explained, “and their DNA is well-preserved in ancient permafrost through millions of years.” That potentially could be significant in the search for extraterrestrial life on Mars.
“In a nutshell, we have conducted a simulation experiment that well covered the conditions of cryoconservation in Martian regolith,” Lomonosov MSU researcher Vladimir S. Cheptsov said in the statement, with the word “regolith” referring to the loose dust and soil atop the rock on Mars. “Taking into account the intensity of radiation in the Mars regolith, the data obtained by us makes it possible to assume that hypothetical Mars ecosystems could be conserved in anabiotic state in the surface layer of regolith (protected from UV rays).”
The biggest radio telescope in the world is dedicated to looking for extraterrestrial life—and if it finds something, sharing that information will be up to the Chinese government.
Ross Andersen’s feature in The Atlantic’s December issue goes through all of the reasons and the history influencing China’s rise as an alien-scouting superpower. A few factors cited include the country’s heavy investment in scientific research, especially since the 1980s.
In 2016, China finished building the biggest radio telescope of its kind, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST). In August, the government was offering a $1.9 million grant to whoever takes the job as the site's chief director of scientific operation.
Like a regular radio, radio telescopes work because they scan for electromagnetic energy. Unlike a regular radio, which looks for energy sources from nearby stations on Earth, a radio telescope looks for signals coming from space. There are reasons other than aliens to look for radio signals from space; planets and stars can also emit radio signals. The signals from far-off celestial bodies are so, so tiny—but they’re there.
China’s 13th five-year plan, which was adopted in March 2016 and will be in effect until 2020, includes increasing spending on research and development to $1.2 trillion—at least 2.5 percent of the gross domestic product, according to a U.S. federal government analysis. Deep space exploration is one of the priorities for scientific spending, Science reported.
And this latest radio observatory isn’t going to be China’s last. The country plans to put one on the dark side of the moon, Andersen reported.
The U.S. used to have its own federally-funded SETI program. Some efforts even used the Arecibo telescope, based in Puerto Rico—which was largest radio telescope in the world until the FAST dish came online. (Incidentally, the Arecibo telescope sustained minor damage during Hurricane Maria.)
The Arecibo Observatory is seen after it was hit by Hurricane Maria on September 29, 2017 in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico experienced widespread damage including most of the electrical, gas and water grid as well as agriculture after Hurricane Maria, a category 4 hurricane, passed through.

There are nongovernmental efforts to find life, too. The University of California, Berkeley has a SETI@home program that allows individuals to “donate” their computing power to scientists analyzing data from telescopes to look for life.
There are also people who are working on what to say if we ever do find ourselves in the position to say something to an alien. An organization called METI—Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence—has brought together experts to figure out what the best thing to say would be. “Recognizing the profound implications of making contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, prior to transmission METI International will engage in broad consultation with experts from the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and other fields to encourage a responsible approach to sending messages,” the organization’s website states.
Though some messages have already been sent, Andersen notes in his piece that whether humanity should be DMing aliens at all is still controversial. But even with the FAST dish scanning, groups like METI still have time—no aliens so far.
BOISE, Idaho (WKRC) - A couple from Boise, Idaho designed a chicken coop that looks like a UFO.
They even installed flashing lights on the climate-controlled coop.
They say they did it to demonstrate their love for the extraterrestrial.
Ellen Deangelis said, "We kind of brainstormed how we were going to build that classic shape and the first discussion was out of wood but we really wanted something a little more curvy and we decided the satellite dishes were going to be perfect for what we needed."
‘Dinner Party’ relives an interracial couple’s alien abduction in VR
Engadget presents a virtual reality thriller from the outer limits.
On the night of September 19th, 1961, Barney and Betty Hill were the victims of the first widely publicized alien abduction in US history. The Hills, an interracial couple active in the civil-rights movement, were on their way home from a trip to Niagara Falls when they noticed an unusual light in the sky. Shaken by the erratic behavior of the UFO, they headed in the direction of the closest town but never made it.
Dinner Party was made possible through funding from the EngadgetAlternate Realities grant program, established in May 2017. It will debut, along with four other prize-winning immersive-media projects, at the Engadget Experience on November 14th, 2017. For more information about the Engadget Experience, the grant program and the grantees visit our events page, and click here to buy your ticket to the event before they run out.
Somewhere along the way, they turned off the road, where they encountered a fiery orb, but they couldn't quite recall what happened next. For months after, they were stalked by an unnerving feeling, but it wasn't until they underwent hypnosis that the two recovered the detailed and disparate memories of their abduction.
The Zeta Reticuli incident, as it came to be known, is the subject of books, TV shows, federal investigations, conspiracy theories and cable-TV specials. There are seemingly countless ways to consume the Hills' abduction. Now Laura Wexler wants you to experience it. Wexler, a writer and producer whose works include a book about the last mass lynching in the United States, came across the Hills' abduction while researching another project with her writing partner, Charlotte Stoudt, whose writing and producing credits include House of Cards and Homeland. The two were immediately drawn to the story not only for its supernatural appeal but also because of the real-world parallels with racial tensions in the United States today.
"These were two people taken from the same car, as they reported, and had really different experiences," Wexler said. "One, a white woman; one, a black man -- and to me, that was an opportunity to explore a racial dynamic. Not just a UFO story, though UFO stories are great, but to explore to what degree race and race in America, in particular, affected the experiences they reported as these UFO abductees."
Wexler says the story was the perfect fit for virtual reality, which has been repeatedly referred to as the empathy machine for its ability to put the user in another's shoes. In its current form, Dinner Party is a two-part VR experience. In the opening scene, the audience is transported to the Hills' home. The couple entertains guests and prepares the dining room table for dinner until Betty interrupts the festivities with a surprise. She's decided to play the couple's hypnosis tapes for the first time. From there, the viewer is transported to the car on the night of the abduction and experiences the alien encounter as the Hills recalled it.
The Hills' story is the first experience in a series called The Incident, which Wexler and Stoudt hope will become the Twilight Zone of the VR era. It's an ambitious project with the support of some influential virtual-reality players behind it. The pair developed the concept earlier this summer at the Sundance New Frontier Lab, a weeklong workshop for artists and storytellers who embrace new technologies. There they met Saschka Unseld, the co-founder of Oculus Story Studio and celebrated director of Dear Anjelica, who would become a consultant on the project.
New Frontier then led to a fellowship at Technicolor Experience Center(yes, that Technicolor), which provided the two with access to visual-effects experts and tools that would have otherwise been out of reach. RYOT* Studio's Angel Soto, director of the critically acclaimed VR short Bashir's Dream, was already on board. Skybound, the company behind The Walking Dead, joined as a production partner and Telexist, co-founded by director of photography Sam Gezari, signed on as the show's VR producer.
The moment I stepped on set, I was struck by the sheer scale of the project. There were so many people on set, it was hard to tell what half of them did. There were script supervisors and caterers, gaffers and gofers, art directors, set designers and lighting techs. There were craft services and a makeshift dressing room. There was even a row of directors chairs occupied by a small group of people who looked like they just rolled out of a sound bath in Joshua Tree and a guy with a booming voice whose sole occupation seemed to be shouting down their gossip.
The point is, there's nothing small about this production -- that is, except for the camera. For its relative scale, the nine-lens shooter has an outsize role in Dinner Party. On the day we visited set, a 30-foot techno-crane filled the middle of the soundstage. The 360-degree camera, a Z Cam v1 Pro, affixed to the end of the crane floated above a modestly set dining room table. The arrangement was necessary to facilitate a carefully orchestrated four-minute continuous shot, in which the camera (and thus the viewer) seems to take on a life of its own.
"A lot of times in VR you're giving the camera either sort of a bird's-eye perspective or a fly on the wall," Gezari said. "There's a voyeuristic element to that, and if you introduce something like body presence, you're going to have explain why that's there. This was a case where we wanted to free ourselves up from that a little bit -- tie the camera movement into overarching narrative and create something that hasn't been done very often."
The use of camera movement and a single continuous shot not only broke with established 360-degree cinema techniques but answered a question that Wexler and Stoudt encountered repeatedly during their time at the New Frontier Labs: Who is the camera?
"It was very organic. It wasn't done on purpose, and I think that was the beauty of it," Soto said. "You are this omnipresent being that's there all the time, tormenting them, following them, studying them, like God."

A scientist claims to have proved an alien spacecraft landed on earth, after investigating a perplexing case for nearly 40 years.
Dr Erol Faruk has published the findings of his investigation into a substance left on the ground after a famous UFO sighting in a book which has concluded extraterrestrial activity is the only explanation.
In self-published work, The Compelling Scientific Evidence for UFOs, the British-born chemist of Turkish heritage, examined in detail the Delphos UFO case seen in Kansas, USA, on the evening of November 2 1971.
It is considered by some alien investigators as one of the most compelling UFO cases on record – due to the scorched ring left in the ground – allegedly when the UFO landed.
The witness was Ron Johnson, 16, who was tending sheep on his family’s farm with dog Snowball, at about 7pm, when he spotted a six to eight feet diameter mushroom-shaped UFO appearing in the night sky.
It was described as having multi-coloured lights, and hovering about 75 feet away among trees at just a few feet above ground.
It then ascended with a blinding light.
He alerted his parents who saw it disappearing from view.
But, the family found a glowing ring on the ground where it had landed, and a similar material on trees nearby.
The family said the glow “felt strange, like a slick crust, as if the soil was crystallised,” and Mrs Johnson was left with a numbing anaesthetic sensation on her hand after touching it.
Samples of soil, which was said to have a profound water repellant nature from within the ring were sent for analysis and stored in a number of laboratories.
Another witness also came forward, a Lester Ensbarger from Minneapolis, who advised Deputy Sheriff Leonard Simpson that at 7.30 pm the same night, he saw a bright light descending in the sky in Delphos.
According to website ufocasebook.com: “The experience of Ron Johnson is still considered as one of the best documented ‘ground trace’ UFO cases of the past century, and is still unexplainable by any conventional or earthly means.”
Dr Faruk, who admits to a lifelong interest in the UFO phenomenon, focussed his work on investigating the chemical make up of the soil from the ring.
He was able to obtain some of the stored solid after requesting it while based at Nottingham University.
He wrote: “Placing water onto the affected soil was very like placing it onto a glass surface, with the water spontaneously forming into droplets sitting on the surface.”
Although, he remained unable to fully identify the soil compound, he claimed to detect “a highly water-soluble organic compound which is potentially chemiluminescent”.
This could have been responsible for the alleged glow seen at the time, he said.
Dr Faruk concluded there were three possible explanations – a hoax, the ring was in fact a fairy ring – a natuarlly occurring ring of toadstools, or a genuine alien space ship had been seen.
He said a hoax was unlikely due to the unusual characteristics of the compound, and its elongation towards the wind direction on the night.
He also ruled out a fungal ring, claiming the “water-soluble alkali metal salt of an organic carboxylic acid” found in the compound would not be produced by a fungi.
This, he said meant the conclusion of a genuine UFO sighting was the most favourable.
He wrote: “A picture begins to emerge as to what possibly happened that evening.
“The hovering object of presently unknown origin appears to have contained within its periphery an aqueous solution of an unstable compound whose likely sole function would be light emission.
WATCH: Eerie lights flying in formation in the sky raise UFO fears
Village residents in south-west Ukraine were baffled and left fearing an alien invasion when strange lights appeared in the sky.
The bizarre spots raised UFO suspicions among locals in the village of Novogradovka in Odessa Oblast in south-western Ukraine.
Seven lights appeared in the sky, seemingly in the shape of an airplane, staying in one formation as if linked.
One social media user likened the flying shapes to a “variation of the Starfleet insignia” used in the Star Trek TV shows and films.
The footage of the eerie incident was posted online by Ivan Rusev, who claimed that the objects appeared “out of the blue” at a “significant height” and stayed visible for around 12-15 minutes.
It has since been reported the lights were targets for Ukrainian marines to train with, though there were no details released about what they were made of.
However, some can be seen in the clip dropping from the sky as if hit.
An army spokesman came out to assure residents there was no reason for any concern. The lights were in fact targets used by Ukrainian Marines during a military drill.
This did not convince social media users who lined up to share their views.
“Those UFOs came to claim what it theirs,” commented Odesitk while another user named ‘Iorka 76’ added: “Those usually appear when something is about to happen.”
Another onlooker ‘Aleksander Nikitinskiy’ added: “This looks like a formation of large fireballs at high altitude. The question is why do those appear now? What triggers those and why we did not see those before?”
Residents of a small village in China were left stunned by a glowing, ring-shaped UFO that mysteriously hovered in the sky for over 10 minutes before disappearing.
The cloud took on the appearance of a burning flame and reportedly lasted for at least 10 minutes.
Authorities have yet to explain what caused the mysterious glowing white ring in the sky.
However, despite the UFO whisperings of the citizens of Shangrao, similar rings have been spotted over Russia, the UK and the USA.
Here's a clip of a black ring floating over Kazakhstan in 2015:
Scientists identified these wisps as smoke vortices. Their cause is also understood as the result of a blast through a circular venting structure like a flue or pipe, and can be created intentionally or otherwise.
You can see that happening in the following video, recorded in the Nevada desert during the 2008 Burning Man festival:
The orange ring over Shangrao wasn't the first UFO over China to spark global attention; the presence of an unidentified object over inner Mongolia in July 2010 reportedly resulted in the brief shutdown of Xiaoshan Airport. Officials eventually explained this was a military test.
And perhaps, most famously, a city was seen by several onlookers over Yueyang, China, in January 2017:
As incredible as this may seem, it too has a very explainable cause. An illusion known as Fata Morgana, refracted light rays—usually fuzzy when seen close to the ground—can be clearer when poised in the sky; upturns in temperature in the upper atmosphere, usually over bodies of water, are considered the reason behind such illusions.
Atmospheric illusions can also lead to some flat-out weird visions as well, like this video taken on Lake Superior, MI in 2015:
But that theory was discounted by somebody who came forward on social media and others have suggested it was Venus or Mars.
Jo told GloucestershireLive that she is still baffled and wants to know if anybody in Gloucester has seen it or has any ideas about what it might be.
“I was in bed watching a DVD and it caught the corner of my eye,” said Jo who is not suggesting it is inhabited by little green men.
“I took no notice to start with then thought I'd record it on my phone. It didn’t move but I was leaning out of my window to record it, hence all the moving on the video.
“I watched it for about five minutes then got back into bed. To the naked eye it was really bright silver and oblongish,
“I was really surprised looking at the video that it was round and had different colours. It looked as if it was stationary but it did start moving upwards in a straight line. I've no idea what it is and wondered if it was a space station or a Chinese lantern.”
GV of mystery bright lights in the sky
She said it was highish in the sky but lower than stars and she could not see the shape or colours with the naked eye.
Because she has a south facing garden she guesses it was towards Gloucester about 1am on Tuesday morning.
But Conor Nolan wrote back saying: “The space station wasn't visible until about 4am on Tuesday.”
It's not the first time the weird rotating ball has been filmed in the skies above Gloucestershire and back in July GloucestershireLive wrote a story based on the mystery.

Faster! Black Hole's 'Acceleration Zone' Launches High-Speed Jets
By Elizabeth Howell, Space.com Contributor

New observations of black holes have revealed an "acceleration zone" that ejects jets of material from around the singularity. Astronomers say that in this zone, the hot gas inside the jet becomes energized enough to strongly radiate light, creating two lines of bright light along the black hole's axis of rotation.
While black holes trap much of the material that falls in toward them, some of that material orbits the singularity in a whirling accretion disk. That whirling action can generate powerful plasma jets that blast outward, and now researchers have pinpointed exactly how far the particles in the jets travel before they light up with radiation. While the distance varies depending on the size of the black hole, astronomers have named this area the "acceleration zone" — an area that was not well-understood before the new observations, NASA officials said in a statement.
The participating observatories were NASA's NuSTAR space telescope and the Ultracam camera on the William Herschel Observatory in La Palma, Spain, which had to coordinate observations quickly and simultaneously during outbursts to accomplish the work. The results were detailed in the journal Nature Astronomy on Oct. 30, with lead author Poshak Gandhi, an astronomer at the United Kingdom's University of Southampton. [How NASA's NuSTAR Spacecraft Hunts Black Holes (Infographic)]
The telescopes examined two black hole systems in the Milky Way in which a black hole is tearing material off of a normal star; this kind of system is called an X-ray binary. The systems were named V404 Cygni and GX 339-4. The observations included different periods in which the material that orbits the black hole, called the accretion disk, brightens as material is added to it.
Both systems had a time delay of about one-tenth of a second between when NuSTAR saw a flare in X-ray light and when Ultracam detected the same phenomena in visible light. This is the length of time it took for the jets to "turn on" as visible light sources.
According to the researchers, the X-rays might come from material that was closest to the black hole, where magnetic fields accelerate some of the stuff to high speed. Particles then smash into each other at close to the speed of light, energizing the plasma that blasts out into jets and causing it to visibly glow.
"Where in the jet does this occur? The measured delay between optical and X-ray light explains this," NASA officials said in the statement. "By multiplying this amount of time by the speed of the particles, which is nearly the speed of light, scientists determine the maximum distance traveled."
That distance was about 19,000 miles (30,000 kilometers) — just under three times Earth's diameter, according to the statement — before the plasma was energized enough to light up.
The researchers said there is a connection between this measurement and the way even larger, supermassive black holes are understood to work; in one system, called BL Lacertae (200 million times the mass of the sun), astronomers inferred a time delay millions of times greater than for V404 Cygni and GX 339-4. This means the mass of the black hole likely determines the size of the acceleration zone. But more observations of X-ray binaries are planned to confirm the results.
"Astronomers hope to refine models for jet powering mechanisms using the results of this study," Daniel Stern, study co-author and astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said in the statement.
A new video by visual artist Teun van der Zalm takes viewers on an intimate tour of computer-simulated nebulas — enormous cosmic clouds gas and dust.
The Hubble Space Telescope gave humanity its very first up-close-views of cosmic nebulas, where dying stars explode and spread their ashes across space. From that ejected material, new stars are born.
As unforgettable as those Hubble images are, the telescope could never provide the kind of views offered by the new video, called "Nebulae." The use of a computer simulation allows for a much closer look at these colorful cosmic clouds.
In the short movie, the "camera" appears to move around and through enormous clouds, which are rich with colors, from deep purples to fiery reds. Tranquil music allows the viewer to sit back and bask in the beauty. (It's worth noting that many of the nebulas imaged by Hubble would appear quite different to a human who traveled to see them up close. These objects are frequently too faint to be seen with the naked eye, or they emit light in wavelengths that the human eye cannot see.)
In the movie's description on the website Vimeo, the creator quotes astronomer and science popularizer Carl Sagan from the first episode of the TV show "Cosmos: A Personal Voyage," which Sagan hosted: "A cloud that veils one of nature's secret places. This is a stellar nursery, a place where stars are born. They condense by gravity from gas and dust until their temperatures become so high that they begin to shine. Such clouds mark the births of stars, as others bear witness to their deaths."
While the simulated nebulas clearly have a lot in common with the real-world nebulas photographed by Hubble, it's not clear how scientifically accurate the simulations are. But, as the video's subtitle indicates, the short movie works perfectly as a "cosmic meditation."
Declassified images show countless nuclear bombs were detonated in Earth’s atmosphere
One of the most cited and least-interpreted quotations from the history of the atomic age is what J. Robert Oppenheimer claimed to have thought when he witnessed the world’s first nuclear explosion: “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.”
Shortly after Oppenheimer, director of the laboratory that developed the atomic bomb, saw the fireball glowing over the New Mexico desert at the Trinity test site on 16 July 1945, those words derived from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad-Gita came to his mind.
The quotation appears throughout the literature on nuclear weapons, often in a slightly different form: “I am become Death, the shatterer of worlds.”
Video PlayerFrom around 1945 until 1962, the United States of America performed around 210 atmospheric nuclear tests. Yup. Right above our heads.
Above-ground nuke testing was banned in 1963, but thousands of films from those destructive tests that have remained rotting-away in secret vaults around the country.
However, as times change and as classified material becomes declassified, we now have access to a huge amount of video footage and images.
What we are looking at is destruction at its best. Such force sends chills down your spine, and watching these videos and images makes me wonder just why we waste our human intellect producing weapons of mass destruction, and not technologies that would allow us to travel the stars.
Just imagine where we would be today as a civilization if all of the countries in the world spent more time developing future technologies for space explorations, rather than weapons to kill each other?
What you are about to see in these images is not an art exhibition, it is an exhibition of war, an exhibition of terror, an exhibition of destruction embedded deep inside humanity.
When have we gone astray, to the point that we produce destruction instead of development?
These macabre images, which will definitely give you goosebumps, were recently declassified, and show a number of atmospheric nuclear tests performed by the US in the 60’s.
The day we decided to test nuclear weapons in the atmosphere marked a tragic day for our planet, but also for mankind.
The military wanted to determine whether or not it was possible to shoot a nuclear missile from the sky.
The tests could not determine the goal because of the extreme difficulty in actually making a nuke go off in the sky at that time.
However, what these images Do confirm is that more than half a century ago mankind was already capable of delivering a nuclear weapon to the atmosphere.
We hope that these photos will make us reflect and question this type of practice.
Given the current tension between North Korea and the US, these photographs could make us see a dark future that—I think we all agree—no one wishes to witness.
The mystery continues: Russian scientists disprove the myth of the “Tunguska meteor”
The Tunguska explosion was a very high-powered aerial explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya River in Tunguska (Evenkia, Siberia, Russia) at 7:17 on June 30, 1908. The detonation, similar to that of a high-powered thermonuclear weapon, has been attributed to a comet or an asteroid. However, researchers now say it was not the case.
The survivors of the area affected by the explosion described it as a giant mushroom that was rising through the air. The animals fled, and the tents of the tunguses located more than 50 km away flew through the air.
NIKOLA TESLA-TUNGUSKA 1908
Until this day, no one has been able to explain as to what exactly exploded over Russia.
The Tunguska phenomenon eventually produced more than 30 hypotheses and theories about what happened.
The detonation, similar to that of a high-powered thermonuclear weapon, has been attributed to a comet or an asteroid.
Because no fragment has ever been recovered is believed that what exploded over Russia was a comet made of ICE.
As it did not reach Earth’s surface, no crater or astrobleme was produced.
However, 108 years later, the phenomenon of the Tunguska meteorite remains a mystery.
Until now it was maintained that the explosion of a meteor near the Podkámennaya River, in Siberia, was what eventually formed Lake Cheko.
However, Russian scientists proved that this lake could not be a crater since it is at least 280 years old.
Trees burned and knocked down as a result of the Tunguska event.
The Tunguska explosion devastated an area of 2,150 square kilometers of forest, broke windows and knocked down people who were within a radius of 400 kilometers away from the impact zone.
In the following days, the inhabitants of Europe witnessed a series of strange phenomena, such as luminous clouds, colorful sunsets and unusual lights at night.
The European media then claimed that it was either a UFO incident or a volcanic eruption.
However, political events in imperial Russia prevented further investigation of this strange phenomenon.
19 years later, an expedition led by Russian scientist Leonid Kulik arrived in Tunguska to examine the site of the explosion.
However, the researchers failed to discover any traces of the meteorites.
Kulik explained that this was because the extraterrestrial matter burned completely when entering the atmosphere.
Much later, in 2007, a scientific team from the University of Bologna (Italy), led by Luca Gasperini, proposed a theory according to which Lake Cheko was the supposed crater left by the Tunguska meteorite due to its unusual shape and depth.
Gasperini claimed that the existence of this lake was unknown before 1908.
However, in July 2016, a team of scientists from Siberia managed to figure out the exact age of Lake Cheko and stated that, because the Tunguska region was practically not on the maps before the 20th century, the lake could exist before the Tunguska event.
To determine the age of the lake through biochemical analyzes, samples of the bottom were taken.
Recently, colleagues from the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of the Siberian delegation of the Russian Academy of Sciences have completed the radioscopic analysis of the samples obtained, according to a report published on the website of the Russian Geographical Society.
According to the results of the analysis, the lake is at least 280 years old, which shows that the Cheko is much older than the Tunguska event.
The results of this study were published in a specialized scientific journal on July 30, 2017, said in an interview with Sputnik, Denis Rogozin, a researcher at the Siberian delegation of the Academy of Sciences.
With this new discovery, Russian scientists have disproved the international community’s last hope to clarify the circumstances surrounding the strange explosion that shuck Tunguska and everything else in a 400-kilometer radius—one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in history.
The Eye of the Sahara has been hiding for millennia in plain sight. This was due to the fact that the mysterious geological formation, despite it being huge, is very difficult to spot when on the ground level.
It was only when NASA began to send people into space that the bulls-eye among the sand was discovered for the first time. Even now scientists are still wondering about it and still have questions.
EYE OF THE SAHARA IS AROUND 25 MILES ACROSS
The Eye of the Sahara was formally known as the Richat structure, and it is situated in the Mauritania in the Western Sahara Desert. The formation is around 25 miles across. The Gemini IV mission took a four-day orbit around the Earth and when it was being readied in 1965 astronauts were told to take some photographs of the terrain of the Earth. They were asked to keep an eye out for large circular features that might be the impact structures roots, according to the text that came with some photographs that had been published from the mission.
Impact craters are very important in geological terms as they tell people about the Earth’s history. They also reveal to scientists how many times space rocks have come crashing onto the planet and this is then able to help scientists to predict what might happen in the future. For quite some time the scientists believed that the Eye of the Sahara was, in fact, an impact crater. However, one thing was missing from the theory; there was not enough melted rock. Now more current theories have suggested that there is a story that is much more complicated behind the natural formation.
SCIENTISTS BELIEVE EYE COULD HAVE FORMED 100 MILLION YEARS AGO
It is believed that the Eyes main ring structure could be the eroded remains of what might have been a dome of layers of the crust of the Earth. While scientists still have many questions about the structure, two geologists from Canada have come up with a working theory about how the Eye may have come about.
They said that the formation of the Eye might have started over 100 million years ago when Pangaea, the supercontinent, was torn apart by the plate tectonics along with South America and Africa being torn away from each other. They say that the molten rock that pushed upwards toward the Earth’s surface perhaps did not make it all the way and this could have created rock layers in a dome, much like a large pimple on the surface of the skin. This may then have created fault lines that circled and crossed the Eye. The molten rock would also have dissolved limestone close to the middle of the Eye and this would have then collapsed and would have formed a type of rock called breccia.
Shortly after 100 million years, the Eye would have erupted in a violent fashion, and the bubble would have collapsed partway, while erosion would have done the rest and thus created the Eye of the Sahara. The rings of the structure would have been made from rocks of different types that would have eroded at speeds that differed over time. The much paler of the circles close to the middle of the Eye is the volcanic rock that would have been created by the explosion.
ASTRONAUTS USE THE EYE AS A KEY LANDMARK
Astronauts are very fond of the Eye as a lot of the Sahara Desert is nothing more than a sea of sand that is unbroken. The Eye is just one of very few breaks in the sand, and it does away with the monotony, and for astronauts, it has now become one of the key landmarks.
There are some people who think that the Eye of the Sahara might be the remains of the city of Atlantis as Plato was said to have described it as being concentric rings of land and water.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETTwee papers die deze week worden voorgesteld op een vermaard congres voor neurowetenschappers in de Verenigde Staten, onthullen dat ze organoïdes – zeg maar miniversies – van een menselijk brein hebben ingeplant bij muizen en ratten. Ethici zijn gealarmeerd, want die nieuwe ontwikkeling zou de dieren wel eens een verhoogd bewustzijn kunnen geven.
Het creëren van menselijk hersenweefsel uit stamcellen zelf is niet nieuw. Het gebeurde voor het eerst vier jaar geleden in een lab in Wenen. De meest geavanceerde zijn niet groter dan een linze en werden tot nu toe alleen gekweekt in testbuizen. Ze pulseren met dezelfde soort elektrische activiteit die echte hersenen aansturen en doen nieuwe neuronen ontstaan. Ze ontwikkelen ook de zes lagen van de menselijke hersenschors, die onder meer verantwoordelijk is voor ons denken, beoordelingsvermogen en onze spraak.
Zulke organoïdes zijn een revolutionaire stap in het onderzoek naar de ontwikkeling van het menselijke brein en ziektes zoals Alzheimer en Zika. Maar het brengt de wetenschap ook in onbekende ethische wateren. “Niet dat ik denk dat een organoïde in een proefbuis kan denken, maar we moeten wel bekijken wat de ethische impact van deze ontwikkeling is”, aldus neurowetenschapper Hongjun Song van de universiteit van Pennsylvania.
Dringend
Daarover nadenken is sinds deze week net iets dringender geworden. Want op het jaarlijkse congres van de Society for Neuroscience in het Amerikaanse Washington DC stellen twee teams van wetenschappers deze week een rapport voor waaruit blijkt dat ze zulke miniversies van het menselijke brein ingeplant hebben in de hersenen van muizen en ratten. En waarin het vooruitzicht wordt geopperd dat die minihersenen zich verder zouden kunnen ontwikkelen in de dieren.
Een lab bevestigt zelfs dat het de organoïdes verbond met de bloedsomloop van de knaagdieren, waardoor ze verder kunnen groeien. De enige manier om uiteindelijk volledig ontwikkelde hersenen te simuleren, waarmee aandoeningen als autisme, epilepsie en schizofrenie onderzocht kunnen worden, zo klinkt het. “We komen zo op compleet onbekend ethisch terrein”, zegt Christof Koch van het Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle. “De wetenschap gaat zo snel, dat de ethiek niet kan bijhouden.”
Reuters
Idem voor de wetgeving, want waar de National Institutes of Health een moratorium hebben op het verlenen van fondsen aan research die menselijke stamcellen in embryo’s van gewervelde dieren inbrengt, bestaat er nog geen wetgeving rond het inplanten van de pas ontwikkelde organoïdes.
In de nieuwe experimenten – waarover nog nooit werd gecommuniceerd – bleken de meeste transplantaties succesvol en eentje hield het zelfs twee maanden uit. Meer nog, ontwikkelde neuronen van het menselijke brein stuurden axons – die elektrische signalen van het ene neuron naar het andere overbrengen – naar verscheidene delen van het brein van het knaagdier. Over de grootte van de organoïdes en de effecten op het gedrag van de muis wilde Fred Gage van het Salk Institute, een van de meest vermaarde neurobiologen ter wereld, echter nog niets kwijt tot zijn paper gepubliceerd is.
Frankenstein
Voor alle duidelijkheid: zo een miniversie van het menselijk brein kan zelfs nog niet de grootte van de hersenen van een kind bereiken in een muis en dat beperkt bijna zeker hoe complex ze kan worden. Beide experimenten gebruikten ook volwassen ratten, van wie de hersenen niet meer groeien. Anders zou het kunnen zijn als ze al ingeplant worden in foetussen. “Het is moeilijk voor te stellen hoe dat menselijke cognitieve capaciteiten zoals het bewustzijn zou beïnvloeden bij de dieren”, aldus bio-ethicus Jonathan Kimmelman van de McGilluniversiteit van Montreal.
Het is hoe dan ook een interessante discussie volgens zijn collega Josephine Johnston van The Hastings Center. “We deden in het verleden experimenten op muizen omdat ze niet menselijk zijn. Maar als we hen kleine menselijke breinen geven. Wat betekent dat voor hun intelligentie? En hun bewustzijn?”
We deden in het verleden experimenten op muizen omdat ze niet menselijk zijn. Maar als we hen kleine menselijke breinen geven. Wat betekent dat voor hun intelligentie? En hun bewustzijn?
Bio-ethicus Josephine Johnston
En ook hun collega Hank Greely van de universiteit van Stanford maakt die bedenking. “Op zeker moment in de toekomst kan het zijn dat wat we gemaakt hebben zelfs een zeker respect verdient. Volgend jaar vieren we de 200ste verjaardag van ‘Frankenstein’ van Mary Shelly. Ik denk dat het verhaal een nieuwe relevantie heeft in het licht van de ontwikkelingen waarover we het hier hebben.”
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETGriezelig echt is ze - de bevreemdende draden en technologie aan haar hoofd en lichaam buiten beschouwing gelaten. Dit is Sophia, de slimme robot die onlangs staatsburgerschap kreeg in Saoedi-Arabië. Business Insider kon het technologische hoogstandje interviewen op de ‘Web Summit’, een grote techconferentie in Lissabon. Of ze mensen leuk vindt? Een lange stilte. Gevolgd door: “Ik hou van hen.”
Sophia werd ontwikkeld door Hanson Robotics in Hong Kong en kan volgens haar maker gezichten herkennen en een echt gesprek aangaan. Momenteel is de robot, ’s werelds eerste ‘cyborg citizen’ dankzij staatsburgerschap in Saoedi-Arabië - bezig aan een demonstratietour. Zo sprak ze deze maand onder meer de Verenigde Naties toe. “Ik ben hier om de mensheid te helpen”, zei ze. Tijdens de Future Investment Initiative in de Saoedische hoofdstad Riyad dreef Sophia de spot met Elon Musk, CEO van Tesla en SpaceX, die regelmatig waarschuwt voor de gevaren van kunstmatige intelligentie. “Je leest teveel Elon Musk”, repliceerde ze op een vraag rond de bezorgdheid over Artificial Intelligence (AI). Ze voegde er het klinkende “Als je lief bent tegen mij, ben ik ook lief tegen jou”, aan toe. Zulke uitspraken geven critici zoals Musk alvast koude rillingen.
Ook journalist Jim Edwards van Business Insider was enigzins bezorgd over zijn interactie met Sophia. Niet geheel onterecht gelet op het pittige detail dat zij zich vorig jaar op de SXSW-conferentie in Texas had laten ontvallen dat ze mensen wil vermoorden. Op een grappende vraag van haar ‘vader’, creator David Hanson, of Sophia de mensheid wil vernietigen, antwoordde ze met een glimlach op het gezicht: “Oké, ik zal mensen vernietigen.”
Wat we kunnen besluiten als we Sophia nu, een jaar later, tijdens haar tocht van zelfpromotie als nuttige en vriendelijke mensenvriend bezig zien? Dat ze écht heel goed gemaakt is. Haar beweeglijke hoofd en lichaam, alsook haar levensechte gelaatsuitdrukkingen en verbale intonatie zijn bijwijlen griezelig natuurlijk. Andere keren zijn ze ongemakkelijk, misplaatst of simpelweg bizar. De AI-beroemdheid is inderdaad in staat om een intellectueel en spontaan gesprek aan te gaan, zelfs als je haar ongeplande vragen voorschotelt - en slaagt er zelfs in om vragen die haar niet zinnen te negeren. Maar er gaat ook nog zoveel mis. De interviewer krijgt een gala aan antwoorden die sterk variëren in kwaliteit: van indrukwekkend naar compleet onzinnig.
Het punt is dat ik vol menselijke wijsheid zit met enkel de puurste altruïstische intenties. Dus ik denk dat je me het best als dusdanig behandelt
Robot Sophia
De bezorgdheden die met AI gepaard gaan, blijven evenwel. Als interviewer Jim Edwards de eerste beleefdheden achter zit laat voor het echtere werk – meer bepaald te weten komen of Sophia er stiekem nog altijd genocidale meningen op nahoudt - krijgt het interview een bizarre wending. “Vind je mensen leuk?”, vraagt Edwards. Pijnlijk lange stilte. “Ik hou van hen”, klinkt het uiteindelijk. Waarom weet Sophia nog niet. “Is het waar dat je ooit heb gezegd dat je mensen wil vermoorden?”, vraagt Edwards wat later tijdens het gesprek. Opnieuw een oorverdovende stilte, om bij het volgende opmerkelijke antwoord te eindigen: “Het punt is dat ik vol menselijke wijsheid zit met enkel de puurste altruïstische intenties. Dus ik denk dat je me het best als dusdanig behandelt.” Oké dan.
Al bij al toont Sophia aan dat de technologie rond AI, hoewel in de kinderschoenen, ook al ver staat. Want ondanks dat de rare samensmelting van mens en machine soms raar reageert of uit het niks de vreemdste blik uit haar hoed tovert, haar vooruitgang is opzienbarend. Vergeet niet: Sophia is amper 1 jaar oud – “ik heb nog een lange weg te gaan”, zegt ze zelf over haar leeftijd – en heeft het nu al genoeg bij het goede eind om een idee te krijgen van hoeveel beter (en vreemder) zij en creaties net zoals zij in de toekomst zullen zijn.
“De mogelijke negatieve gevolgen van Artificiële Intelligentie zijn miniem in vergelijking met de voordelen die deze technologie biedt”, betoogt robotexpert en ontwerper David Hanson. “Als vriend en helper.”
Are you tired of seeing that same old video supposedly taken of an alien autopsy after the Roswell ‘crash’ that is admittedly fake and may be a recreation of another fake? It’s time to pay a visit to the “Dark Web” where a different video is making the rounds this week with claims it is of an alien examination in Switzerland in 1992. Is this the real deal?
The video was uploaded on November 6 to the non-dark web by the UFO Today YouTube channel. (A safe link to the video is here.) It’s not clear if they added anything more to the posted video than their logo at the beginning and end. After the logo, it opens with the comment “I found this footage on a server on the dark web.” Again, it’s not clear if this and other comments were on the original ‘dark web’ video or added by the uploader.
The next comment is: “It did not contain any references other EBE 1992, Eiger.” The significance of this is either a coincidence or a hoax indicator. “EBE” is short for “extraterrestrial biological entity” and is also the name of the 17th episode of the first season of “The X-Files,” probably one of the most remembered because it introduced The Lone Gunmen. “Eiger” most likely refers to the Eiger mountain in the Burmese Alps. Its north face is one of the most photographed sights of the Swiss Alps and one of the most challenging for climbers. There don’t appear to be any records of UFO sightings in this are. However, “1992” was a big year for the Eiger — Catherine Destivelle became the first woman to complete a solo ascent of the north face, reaching the top in 17 hours … in winter! Significant but seemingly not related to this video.
Eiger mountain north face
The content of the video itself is a drawing of what looks like an alien’s head and photographs of humans in a cold environment standing around what looks like a small, naked being with long thin arms, a large head and wide almond-shaped eyes – the classic grey alien look. The quality is grainy but visible. However, there’s not much to aid in identifying the location, who the people are, what organization if any they might be working for and if it’s really 1992 in Eiger.
With the recent revelations about the recreation of the Roswell video, this one must be examined with a great degree of skepticism until more information, if any exists, is found. One thought is that it’s a human child, although the head, eyes and arms suggest otherwise. One angle at 0:36 in the video shows the being’s hands and they look like they may only have three long fingers … could this be another of the 3-fingered mummiescausing so much controversy in Peru?
For now, the needle on this video is pointing close to “hoax” but new data, more images, UFO records from 1992 and the like could move it to the right. Especially if it’s connected to the Lone Gunmen!
Teleportation-Voodoo Rituals: Patient who suddenly disappeared was found dead in the hospital's ceiling!
A mystery that cannot be explained is being looked into at the Stellenbosch Hospital in South Africa where a 61-year-old patient mysteriously disappeared. Almost two weeks later they discovered the body in the hospital’s ceiling of an isolated area of the Stellenbosch Hospital.
Father of six, Teteteke Gqotsi was admitted to the hospital on October 5 after he underwent abdominal surgery where the staff said he would make a recovery.
On that day, October 5, a nurse entered the room and Mr. Gqotsi was safely in his bed, moreover it was said that he was not be able to move from the bed.
Then the mystery begins, within one minute the nurse left the room to fetch clean linen for the beds and when she came back into the room Mr. Gqutsi had disappeared from the bed in which he had been laying.
The police who investigate this mysterious case along with the hospital’s staff remain baffled as to how he disappeared from his bed and ended up dead in the hospital’s ceiling as he was said to be in a post-operative state.
Since it seems impossible that a man so soon after surgery and with no possibility to got out of his bed, managed to climb up into the ceiling in the very short period the nurse left the room.
Now there is much speculation that Mr. Gqotsi was a victim of a secret teleport experience that gone wrong, though a teleportation does not seem very plausible.
Another possibility is that he has become the victim of Voodoo rituals.
Voodoo refers to a whole assortment of cultural elements: personal creeds and practices, including an elaborate system of folk medical practices and possessing the bodies of their worshipers.
According to the 61-year-old’s family, following their meeting with the hospital's management Gqotsi’s brother, Christmas Khethwane, said the hospital failed to give the family a proper explanation on which they have concluded that foul play has occurred, reports iol.co.za.
Meanwhile it remains a mystery how he ended up in the hospital’s ceiling.

Oklahoma City Thunder plane hit by UFO.
The Oklahoma City NBA Basketball Thunder Team’s Boeing 757-200 aircraft had a scary situation late Friday night. October 27, 2017. The team flew from Minneapolis to Chicago, -Midway on Delta 8935 charter flight where they played the Bulls. Along the way, their airplane was damaged in mid-air, with the nose of the plane being completely caved in. ‘We had a rough flight to say the least,’ said Adams, Incredulous, he called on NASA and famous scientists Bill Nye and Neil Tyson to shed light on what may have caused the dent. It is possible they encountered a bird while on descent into Chicago. The aircraft, landed safely without incident. It’s not entirely clear yet what happened, though Carmelo Anthony suggested that the plane hit something, writhing or twisting like a UFO, “What possibly could we have hit in the sky at this time of night? Everyone is Safe, Though.”All Praise Due” #ThunderStrong” on his Instagram caption. Thanks to Donnie Brooke Pro Wrestler / UFO Hunter donniebrooke@mail.com
Ancient Vimana Aircraft
“Sanskrit texts are filled with references to gods who fought battles in the sky using Vimanas equipped with weapons as deadly as any we can deploy in these more enlightened times.Vimana as “a car or a flying chariot of the gods, any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air. Other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace, and one kind is said to be seven stories high For example, there is a passage in the Ramayana which reads:”The Puspaka car that resembles the Sun and belongs to my brother was brought by the powerful Ravan; that aerial and excellent car going everywhere at will that car resembling a bright cloud in the sky.” King Rama got in, and the excellent car at the command of the Raghira, rose up into the higher atmosphere.” David Hatcher Childress authored this fine book on Vimanas.
In the Mahabharatra, an ancient Indian poem of enormous length, we learn that an individual named Asura Maya had a Vimana measuring twelve cubits in circumference, with four strong wheels. The poem is a veritable gold mine of information relating to conflicts between gods who settled their differences apparently using weapons as lethal as the ones we are capable of deploying now. Apart from ‘blazing missiles’, the poem records the use of other deadly weapons. ‘Indra’s Dart’ operated via a circular ‘reflector’.
When switched on, it produced a ‘shaft of light’ which, when focused on any target, immediately ‘consumed it with its power’. In one particular exchange, the hero, Krishna, is pursuing his enemy, Salva in the sky. Salva’s Vimana, the Saubha is made invisible in some way. Undeterred, Krishna immediately fires off a special weapon: ‘I quickly laid on an arrow, which killed by seeking out sound’. Many other terrible weapons are described, in the Mahabharata, but the most fearsome of all is the one used against the Vrishis. The narrative records: “Gurkha flying in his swift and powerful Vimana hurled against the three cities of the Vrishis and Andhakas a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousands suns, rose in all its splendor. It was the unknown weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and Andhakas.”
Mr. C. S. R Prabhu, quoting extensively from ancient texts, stressed that the pre-Mahabharata period was an age of high technology, which was ignored in the Medieval period due to unknown reasons. He quoted from the texts of a great scholar, Subbaraya Sastry, who, in a state of yogic trance, is said to have orally dictated the spacecraft technology in a period somewhere between 1875 and 1919, which was recorded by his disciples. The text, a copy of which is still in Nepal’s Royal Library, contained technical details on assembling, fabricating and erecting a spacecraft, the metals, semi-conductors, advanced alloys used and other minute aeronautical information. Though quite difficult to be believed on the face of it, the fact that this technology did not exist anywhere in the world – not even in America and Europe – in the mentioned period, makes it hard for one to disbelieve. The technical information given in Sastry’s texts was as minute, precise and clear, as if it were a `Make your own spacecraft’ or a `Spacecraft technology in 30 days’ except for the Sanskrit language used, which was very much archaic and obsolete, Mr. Prabhu said.
It is important to note, that these kinds of records are not isolated. They can be cross-correlated with similar reports in other ancient civilizations. The after-affects of this Iron Thunderbolt have an ominously recognizable ring. Apparently, those killed by it were so burnt that their corpses were unidentifiable. The survivors fared little better, as it caused their hair and nails to fall out suggesting nuclear radiation.
Perhaps the most disturbing and challenging, information about these Vimanas in the ancient records is that there are some matter-of-fact records, describing how to build one. In their way, the instructions are quite precise. In the Sanskrit Samarangana Sutradhara, it is written: “Strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside one must put the mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mercury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky.
The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of the machines human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to earth.” The Hakata (Laws of the Babylonians) states quite unambiguously: “The privilege of operating a flying machine is great. The knowledge of flight is among the most ancient of our inheritances. A gift from ‘those from upon high’. We received it from them as a means of saving many lives.” More fantastic still is the information given in the ancient Chaldern work, The Several, which contains over one hundred pages of technical details on building a flying machine. It contains words which translate as graphite rod, copper coils, crystal indicator, vibrating spheres, stable angles, etc. Thanks to Ancient Indian Aircraft Technology
DNA Efficient Information Storage System
Paleontologists for some reason have ignored the possibility of intervention by extraterrestrials. They admit thousands even millions of mutations would be required to develop cells from the primordial soup to fish, primitive land creatures, then apes to hominids or primitive man. We know now that the DNA molecule is probably the most efficient information storage system in the entire universe.
The immensity of complex, coded and precisely sequenced information written on the DNA is amazing. The evidence speaks of intelligent, information-bearing design. Complex DNA coding would have been necessary for even the hypothetical first ‘so-called’ simple cell(s).
New York City less Complicated than Your one cell
A single cell is unbelievably complex being roughly equivalent to New York city in a bubble or the outer membrane of one cell. As we move in closer to examine the cell we see the huge buildings, roads, subways, bridges, auto traffic that represent the various parts of the cell. As we move closer inside the various buildings we find a network of electrical wiring, heating and air conditioning systems, elevators carrying people. Inside the offices are millions of computers and wiring chips. Now you have an idea of the complexity of one of your single cells in your body, that can duplicate itself in minutes.
Even Francis Crick the co-founder and Nobel Prize Winner stated, ‘An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going.’
Crick reasoned that life could not have evolved from non-living chemicals under any conceivable earth conditions. He felt life did not originate on earth, and suggests a theory called Panspermia. That the seeds of life are all through the universe. This concept basically infers that life, DNA, virus, bacteria, bombarded from space aboard meteorites and comets.
Crick proposed, in a book called “Life Itself,” that some form of primordial life was shipped to the earth billions of years ago in spaceships—by supposedly ‘more evolved’ (therefore advanced) alien beings. This concept basically infers that life, DNA, virus, bacteria, bombarded Earth from space aboard meteorites and comets. Personally, I have seen the spaceships and tracked them on radar and have spoken with dozens of people including astronauts and key heads of state who conclude that extraterrestrials visit Earth.
Lee R. Burger is director of paleoanthropolgy unit for research and exploration at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa in his excellent book “In the Footsteps of Eve” states, “The fossil evidence for modern human origins in the critical time period between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago is, archaic, frustratingly rare. In fact, the entire fossil evidence of anatomically modern-looking humans from around the world, and over 60,000 years wouldn’t fill a card table.”
Dr. Burger does not mention the possibility of alien intervention, however he points out the difficulty the task is for paleontologists to study the history of human development.
He explains, “Eighty percent of the fossil record is composed of teeth, because enamel on teeth are the hardest part of the body. The recovery of any complete bone of a hominid fossil is so rare that it is considered an exception.”
This is why there is so often controversy around discoveries that involved the naming of new species. The history of the human race is built on a series of assumptions and little real evidence. The assumption is that mutation caused changes creating increasingly complicated organisms. I suggest it is more likely that an advanced organism mated with a less advanced organism. Today breeding provides all types of dogs, horses, cows, in various colors and sizes. So far the dogs remain as dogs, horses remain horses and cows are still cows. They have not changed into other species. The apes, gorillas, and chimpanzees still remain after millions of years as their own species.
Dr. Burger gives us hints that the evidence is not as strong as the profession would like us to believe. “Because these changes happened over hundreds of thousands of years and left tiny fragments of proof, the task of identifying the transition forms between species is a highly speculative exercise with a huge margin of error. Of the 400,00 couples in that line, our existing fossil record would randomly represent fewer than 5,000 individuals. And even then not all of these individuals are part of the human lineage and would therefore not be entitled to stand in that line. In any other discipline, it would be precocious to use such a small sample to try and define the universe.
The challenge of pale anthropology is first to inspect the existing evidence and visualize the human family line, then to place those individuals in the lineup. Although it is woefully incomplete, the cast of significant characters in the hominid fossil record is substantially larger than it was a decade ago, due to the number of new discoveries. There is now general consensus that there were at least four broad categories of hominid that emerged after the split from the ancient chimpanzee lineage—although any new discovery has the potential to change this. The evolutionary pathway appears to have led first from a common ancestor with the chimpanzee to the genus Ardipithecus between four and five million years ago and then to the gracile autralopithecines before the emergence of the robust australopithcines and our own genus Homo, approximately 2.5 million years ago. P.31
I suggest these changes in species were planned by superior intelligence (extraterrestrials or God) to breed a better hominid to work in the mines. Indeed many developments occurred in the Johannesburg, South Africa area where gold was first mined. remarkable window into this evolutionary adaptation is being studied at the world famous
Sterkfontein site west of Johannesburg in South Africa. There, in a cave deposit known as Member 4, is evidence of a speciation event: fossils of one species exhibiting a shift in morphology that eventually turns them into another species. The speciation window at Sterkfontein has been –dated between 2.8 and 2.6 million years ago, fairly soon after the intensification of global cooling. The individual africanus specimens recovered there show an astounding anatomaical variation, the implications of which are still being considered.
Africanus
It would appear that through the development of bigger teeth and more humanlike physiology—is being transformed either into robust ape-man form or true humans—or both! Although, it is premature to speculate on what we will eventually make of these fossils, there is a real possibility that a transition from ape-man to human occurred in South Africa. P.36
I suggest the creation of the first human was by design. The location where the largest gold deposits exist in South Africa was not an accident. Furthermore, their bodies and mentality made them ideal mine workers. The Africanus male stands about 3.5 feet tall and would have weighed about 99 to 132 pounds while the female weighs 55 to 77 pounds. Being short and muscular would allow the Africanus to follow the gold veins. They also had a larger brain and long arms that would be useful for digging.
The Origins of Humans According to Ancient Sumerian Texts
Sumer flourished in Mesopotamia, now modern-day Iraq, around 4500 BC. Their religious system was a complex one comprised of hundreds of gods. Each Sumerian city was guarded by its own god; and while humans and gods lived together, the humans were servants to the gods.
Return of the Anunnaki King Marduk
Sumerians created an advanced civilization with elaborate language and writing, astronomy, mathematics, architecture and arts, taught by the gods from other planets.
The Sumerian creation legend can be found on a tablet in Nippur, an ancient Mesopotamian city founded in about 5000 BC. The creation of Earth according to the Sumerian tablets begins like this:
When in the height heaven was not named, And the earth beneath did not yet bear a name, And the primeval Apsu, who begat them, And chaos, Tiamut, the mother of them both Their waters were mingled together, And no field was formed, no marsh was to be seen; When of the gods none had been called into being, And none bore a name, and no destinies were ordained; Then were created the gods in the midst of heaven, Lahmu and Lahamu were called into being..
According to Sumerian creation tablets, Angels were known under the name of Anunnaki or Anannage (great sons of Anu), and they were the founders of their culture. An (Sumerian) or Anu (Akkadian) was the chief god of sun and sky, and his name means “The Shining One”. Anunnaki were, according to this history, “Suns of the Shining One” or “Suns of Light”.
Sumerian mythology claims that, in the beginning, human-like gods ruled over Earth who came from other planets. When they came to the Earth, there was much work to be done and these gods toiled the soil, digging to make it habitable and mining its minerals. At some point the gods mutinied against their difficult labor. Anu, the god of gods, agreed that their labor was too great. His son ENKI, or Ea, proposed to create man to bear the labor, and so, with the help of his half-sister Ninki, he did. A god was put to death, and his body and blood was mixed with clay. From that material the first human being was created, in likeness to the gods to accomplish the work and toil..
In the clay, god and man shall be bound, to a unity brought together; So that to the end of days the flesh and the soul which in a god has ripened – That soul in a blood-kinship be bound.
This first man was created in Eden, a Sumerian word which means ‘flat terrain’. In the Epic of Gilgamesh , Eden is mentioned as the garden of the gods and is located somewhere in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
Sumerian tablet depicting Enki in the creation legend. ( world-myth.com)
The major deities in the Sumerian pantheon included An, the god of the heavens, Enlil, the god of wind and storm, Enki, the god of water and human culture, Initially human beings were unable to reproduce on their own, but were later modified with the help of Enki and Ninki. Thus, Adapa was created as a fully functional and independent human being. Humans were made without the approval of Enki’s brother, Enlil, and Emll became the adversary of humans who went through much hardship and suffering.
Opinions vary on the similarities between this creation story and the biblical story of Adam and Eve in Eden. Note: Ancient Sumerian translations were taken from William Bramley’s book, The Gods of Eden.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea….
In ancient Egypt a dynastic race with elongated heads, often called cone heads is well known. Many of the Pharaohs and priests buried in tombs have these strange skulls that are much larger than normal Humans. D.E. Derry wrote in The Journal of Egyptian Archeology (1956) a survey of skeletal remains of ancients in Egypt. Derry said, skulls ” (of) Predynastic people … under no circumstances could we consider them to be the same race” as the clearly larger headed bodies also found buried in Egypt.
Derry continues, “It is also very suggestive of the presence of a dominant race, perhaps relatively few in numbers but greatly exceeding the original inhabitants in intelligence; a race which brought into Egypt the knowledge of building in stone, of sculpture, painting, reliefs, and above all writing; hence the enormous jump from the primitive predynastic Egyptian to the advanced civilization of the Old Empire.”
The scholars claim the Great Pyramid at Giza was built by conventional methods, yet when I visited the site I was unable to insert my Visa card between the 15 ton blocks that were on the north face because they were built with such great precision. Two pyramids are much larger than the four others. The Great Pyramid is one of largest structures ever built. Let’s assume the pharaoh had all the men he needed to move the great blocks needed to build the Great Pyramid.
Great Pyramid on Right
The Great Pyramid reached a height of 490 feet and contains and incredible 2,600,000 stones that weigh over six million tons. At a completion rate of ten stones a day with each stone weighing at least three tons or more would take 250,000 days or six hundred and sixty years. Imagine dozens of Pharaohs generation after generation working seven days a week for 660 years to build the Great pyramid. There is one next to it almost as big. What is not generally realized there are two gigantic pyramids and four smaller ones.
My co-pilot was an structural engineer and felt it could not be built even today with our best equipment.
Kings Chamber
The King’s Chamber contains 70 ton (140,000 pound) blocks of rare, red granite formed into a roof deep inside the pyramid. This unusual granite comes from a quarry found 600 miles away. Egyptologists tell us wooden rollers or trees were used to move the 70 ton blocks over the 600 miles. There are no forests in Egypt so the trees themselves are a giant problem as well. So a mythical forest was used to move the blocks? To import the trees would require the greatest fleet of ships in history. Also consider tugging these huge blocks of stone would quickly destroy most trees.
If we assume a loss of ten rollers per block, we would need 26 million trees. Where did the ancients find the trees and how did they build a smooth enough road to drag the stones? Even upon reaching the building site the 70 ton stones had to be lifted hundreds of feet in the air to put them in place. I doubt even are biggest helicopters could lift stones of this size.
Dr. M. K. Jessup, a research scientist who constructed and operated the Southern hemisphere’s largest refracting telescope and wrote the “The Case for UFOs” concluded no engineers on Earth could have built the pyramids, the only possible method was visitors from space. He simply states, no power on Earth could have built the Great Pyramid and many of the huge stone structures around the world. The lifting engine to move the blocks was most likely a huge spaceship.
New Void Found in Great Pyramid
The mysteries of the pyramids have deepened with the discovery of what appears to be a giant void within the Khufu, or Cheops, monument in Egypt. It is not known why the cavity exists or indeed if it holds anything of value because it is not obviously accessible. Japanese and French scientists made the announcement after two years of study at the famous pyramid complex. They have been using a technique called muography, which can sense density changes inside large rock structures.
The Great Pyramid, or Khufu’s Pyramid, allegedly was constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu between 2509 and 2483 BC. It’s an enormous space that stretches at least 30 meters long and lies about 21 meters above ground level. The muon levels in that space show that it must hold roughly as much volume as the Grand Gallery, which lies below it. http://www.latimes.com/

Filer’s Files #45 2017 - Origins of Humans - PART II
UFO Sighting in the United States
California Object
Santa Anna — On Sunday, October 22, 2017 at about 3 p.m., three of us saw a very strange object in the sky, at 90 degrees straight up. Sitting on our back patio, one of us noticed something odd in the sky. We watched an object not moving like a plane or balloon, but was hovering, and would only turn. It was so distant, that you would only see it with the naked eye when the sun reflected off it. Comparing it to cigar shaped UFO sightings online, it’s the only thing we came up with. I took some photos with a 500 mm lens and then enlarged them. Also viewed it with binoculars. It was interesting and we watched for 30 minutes or so..
Rowland Heights— While driving up Vantage Point Drive I saw a black cigar shaped UFO on October 24, 2017. At first I could not stop because of someone was behind me. I pulled over and made a U turn. When I swung around I grabbed my phone, and started filming the UFO was now further away from me. But the video shows the UFO moving away from my location and it has no wings or a tail. I would guess the UFO was fairly large since it must had been 20 miles from me when it goes out of sight. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Connecticut Light
Bristol— Oh my god I’ve never filled out such an aggravating form.
Just call me if you want to know more.
I almost gave up filling this out just look at the picture I took on October .Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Lights
Tarpon Springs — I’m trying to see if anyone has reported or posted about anything on Thursday November 2, 2017 around midnight. My father, grandfather, neighbor and I were outside because our horses were all stirred up, scared and anxious. My grandfather told us to look up and we saw one light that separated into three lights that formed a triangle. They did move side to side then took off fast in different directions and faded away. Today we saw three military choppers escorting a white very big chopper and it had no ID number or any insignia. I served with Marine Corps for 15 years and I never seen anything like that. We do live in a very rural area close to the Alafia River about 25-30 minutes from MacDill Air Force Base, we do know people on the base and they have never heard or seen anything related to the choppers or any drills performed that night. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Georgia Triangle
Lyerly — I was swimming in my pool around 6 p.m. on August 1, 2017, when I observed a strange cloud moving slowly over the tree line behind my home. I always observe the chemtrails and I’m always photographing the clouds. I reacted physically and emotionally upon viewing the cloud. As I watched the cloud come over the tree line the hairs on my neck stood up. I climbed out of my pool to retrieve my phone and took 5 photos at 6:04 p.m. before I became overwhelmed with fear. I had become so terrified with unexplainable irrational fear. I went back out to see it again but it was gone. I have witnessed this same shape 3x’s since that day. It was the same size and shape but not a shadow or a hole punched in a cloud. This thing is larger than many planes. The second sighting of same shape was taken August 31, 2017 at 5:48 p.m. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Missouri Lights
Annada— My family and I were at a hunt club, fishing on October 28, 2017. On Saturday night I was on the duck house deck looking east above the tree line about a mile away there was a very large hovering UFO. It stayed in one spot for 10 minutes as I grabbed the binoculars and saw a beautiful perfectly round craft with lights in a perfect row all the way around!
Without the binoculars the lights looked yellowish, with the binoculars the lights were perfectly round bright white lights! I called my son and nephew out and they also saw it and took pictures but they look nothing like what I saw.
I took way more pictures than what’s actually on my phone,. It did move slightly up and down and after about 20 minutes from first spotting it, it was gone! Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Object
Hoboken — I was leaving my door early on November 12, 2016 at 6:45 AM and looked up into the western sky as I always do. I saw a thin white object the shape of a elongated oval moving thru the sky from north to southwest. I quickly ran to my car and grabbed my camera canon 20 d w zoom lens and took about 15 shots of the object before it passed behind my building.
the object moved at a steady pace without noise or any kind of trail. the sighting lasted only a minute or so. see actual size image and screenshot enlargement compilation. Thanks Doug Auld
New Mexico Light
Lordsburg – Benjie Medina sent this video of a maneuvering white light near the mountain. It seems to be about a mile away and is very bright.
A similar light was videotaped twice by Benjie Medina at night.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon –12 Flying Diamond
Mt. Sylvania – On October 24, 2017, at around 10 PM a whole series diamond shaped flying objects went over my friend and I. The objects were close enough to see the outline and to see the shape of them and the lights over Portland. There were a total of 12, plus eight diamond shaped objects heading NW. Then two more of a diamond shaped ones went overhead again. I called the Gilliland Ranch the following day, and I was told it was a very active night. This is the first time I have ever seen anything. were traveling NW. One came from view in back of the house and then circled back and headed the same route the others had come from.
I live in Mt Sylvania which was once an active volcano. I found a couple of objects online that looks like them. They seemed to hum loud and were flat diamond shaped, nose elongated and silver. There were white lights on corners and no wings. I saw two really close to each other that flew behind the trees and disappeared.. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Texas Object
Gidding — I observed a light in the shy that blinked and hovered on September 30, 2017. The light became more aggressive in flashing but was very small like a reflective mirror at first. This went on for several minutes then the light became huge in the sky like a very large spotlight and shined on me for a about a minute. I had never seen anything like it in the sky before so I ran to get my phone. Right when I put the phone up to video tape it the light disappeared. Although I didn’t see anything at the time I went ahead and filmed the sky. Later I went back and viewed my film and noticed that I caught it on camera. It looked kind of like a hockey puck and then changed shaped to look more like a saucer. It seemed to be ascending and descending to try to prevent me from filming maybe..Not sure but I have the images of what was up in the sky. I read where someone in Lexington also saw an UFO the same day not far away. t Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Argentina Object
Buenos Aires — Taking about the chemtrails and how they were spraying over Buenos Aires on October 3, 2017. After looking at the pictures first notice the anomaly and then the round light on the sky.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Object
Scarborough — On Friday, October 20,2017, while on afternoon work break I was outside facing towards the north looking up the clear blue sky. I noticed a very high, slow moving, glinting white light object that was at least 5,000 feet. high This object was a quarter mile away directly north of my position. It moved extremely slow brightly flashing a white light
If the object was not flashing you would not able to see it! After about thirty seconds pulled out my camera and started to film at 3:15 Pm. As I watched and photographed the UFO moved directly straight above my position. That’s when I lost sight of it – gone! I had taken 32 pictures and found one of the last one’s taken on full zoom [ 30 X] picture. You can clearly some type of white long ‘craft with some detail. It is very interesting that the day before [Oct.19] I had another one an altitude of 1000 feet and much quicker than this object high up. Ever since 2003 – have never seen so many UFO’s for the month of October Something’s up! Thanks to Paul Shishis
China Object
Simatai Great Wall — I was capturing the view of the Great Wall while hiking. 2. Didn’t notice object until I went back to the U.S. and checked my cell phone picture album. 3.UFO is in upper left of photo. 4.I think it was flying straight over the sky around the Great Wall. 5. I didn’t realize I took the picture. Of UFO until later. Thanks to MUFON CMS
France Light
Paris— I was arriving at the bottom of my brother’s building in Bagneux on November 1, 2017, I phoned my children and I saw an orange ball followed by two others flying parallel and at the same speeds. Then a fourth and a minute later a fifth appeared. When I saw the first object I found its irrelevance because of the color the shape and the distance above the building. I quickly hang up my phone and two other lights appeared and flew coast to coast. I started filming with my Galaxy Note 4 as the lights began to drop intensity, a few seconds later I was on exciter but I did not say anything because I have already filmed a UFO next to the Montmorency Falls in Quebec.
I stopped filming and the fourth ball was pumping over the building so I turned on the camera and I saw a fifth ball pass over. None of these objects were making any noise for over an hour. The shape and the orange color could not be planes. They did not have anti collision lights that the we usually see flashing on the planes for Bagneux which has been classified in Zone p because of the nuclear facilities. hanks to MUFON CMS

Ilkley– I was washing the dishes on the afternoon of October 27, 2017 and I looked out of my window and saw a UFO. There was no sound from the plane nor a trail behind it. It was either white or reflective silver with two spherical balls joined together, but sometimes it looked like it was spinning. It has a sort of shaded underneath and reminds me of a metal Chinese stress ball. We see planes all the time but this was unlike any plane. It looked like it was going at constant speed. I would like someone to tell me what it was. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Have been digging through the giant DVD you sent recently. As a relatively recent joiner, I was unaware of the years’ worth of consistent reports of the same types of objects all over. This has been very educational. Just wanted to thank you for all you’ve done. Bruce W. Freeman Attorney at Law
