Chinese Rocket Booster drops from Sky and smashes on top of a Building

On February 12, 2018 we saw the seventh orbital launch of the year by China, with a Long March-3B/YZ-1 orbiting a new pair of navigation satellites. The launch took place just after 05:00 UTC from the LC2 Launch Complex of the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, Sichuan province. It took over four hours to complete the mission.

While American rockets fall into the ocean, China keeps dropping expended rocket boosters on land.

Although, they try to calculate these drop zones very carefully to avoid inhabited areas or in some places they evacuate an area or even a complete town, sometimes these expended rocket boosters come very close to populated areas.

And not surprisingly the Chinese sat launch has again dropped rocket boosters and this time over a populated area in Tianlin county, Guangxi where rocket parts smashed near and on top of a building.

They have evacuated the people before hand, but of course it is crazy that they still drop the rocket boosters over inhabited areas.

NASA to investigate 10,000-year-old mystery rock that ‘shows paintings of UFOs and aliens’

A NUMBER of prehistoric drawings have sparked a local government to seek the help of NASA after the images appeared to depict extraterrestrial life.

By Callum Hoare 

In the footage, a narrator explains how a number of art pieces have been revealed.

Discovered in Charama, India, the images appear to show aliens and UFOs, similar to scenes of a sci-fi movie.

According to local archaeologist JR Bhagat it is unclear as to what the images reveal.

SG/THE LOST HISTORY CHANNEL

ALIENS? The government have asked NASA for help

He said: "The findings suggest that humans in prehistoric times may have seen or imagined beings from other planets which still create curiosity among people and researchers.

“Extensive research is needed for further findings.

“Charama presently doesn't have any such expert who could give clarity on the subject.“

He also revealed that some of the features of the paintings were unclear and the characters appeared to be wielding weapons.

He added: "The paintings are done in natural colours that have hardly faded despite the years.

“The strangely carved figures are seen holding weapon-like objects and do not have clear features.

“Specially, the nose and mouth are missing.

“In few pictures, they are even shown wearing space suits. We can't refute possibility of imagination by prehistoric men but humans usually fancy such things.”

The video was uploaded to YouTube channel The Lost History Channel on Sunday and has already received more than 7,000 views.

One comment read: "Evidence is everywhere, we need opened eyes, that's all."

And another claimed: "We dont need to find aliens, they are already here all around us."

The archaeologists have contacted NASA and ISRO to help solve the mystery.

Behold the Mighty Quasar: The Science Behind These Galactic Lighthouses

A Lunar Corona Above Grand Place in Belgium (Photo)

These Are the Most Out-of-This-World Photos Ever Taken — Literally

I recently saw a hashtag from a UFO enthusiast on Twitter that said #ProveTheyDontExist. It really got my gears going. You know why? This same logical fallacy has been used to justify all sorts of crazy nonsense for decades. Normally a staple of religious zealotry, the Argument from Ignorance has infected the fields of science, medicine, mental health, and just about every other academic thought pool. It’s also made its way into UFOlogy.

The Argument from Ignorance

The center of the earth is made of cheeseburgers. I know this is true. I know because mankind has yet to prove that the center of the earth is not made of cheeseburgers.

The above statement should seem preposterous to you. Not only is it highly unlikely that cheeseburgers exist at the center of the earth, humans have yet to explore the center of the earth to find out exactly what it contains. Sure we can make educated guesses based on our understanding of science, but until we actually drill down, we’ll never know for sure.

Now look at this next example:

Aliens built the great pyramids. We don’t know definitively how humans might have done it, so it must have been aliens.

See anything familiar? While it might be a bit more subtle than claiming the center of the earth is comprised of cheeseburgers, it’s just as logically errant. One could replace the word aliens in that statement with just about anything else and it would be just as untrue. In fact, the Ancient Alien theory resembles a religion more than science or archaeology.

Now, read this:

I saw an object in the sky that wasn’t a bird or a plane, or anything else I know of. Therefore, it must be an alien-controlled spaceship.

This one really hits close to home because so many people I know have taken this position. And this statement is at the crux of many UFO claims. But here’s the thing – if you saw an unidentified flying object, it makes zero sense to follow that statement with an identification because it’s unidentified. This statement is, in fact, no less ludicrous than the center of the earth being made of cheeseburgers.

Absence of an Explanation is Never Equivalent to Proof

Does this make you uncomfortable? It should. And there is a good reason. The charge that alien life is visiting our planet is extraordinary and, as a result, must require extraordinary proof.

Credibility, Credibility, Credibility

One of the primary complaints of UFO researchers and enthusiasts is that they aren’t taken seriously by mainstream science. But when you look at some of the most popular thought-processes exhibited by them, it’s pretty easy to understand why.

In order to gain respect from the scientific community, UFOlogists must illustrate that they are credible. A researcher must be able to exercise solid and valid logic when making conclusions. Those conclusions must be drawn from the actual evidence, not a lack thereof. Similarly, they must also exercise the same logic when sharing dubious news stories and articles with questionable sources.

Researchers need to spend the energy searching for the truth of each sighting, not the validation of that which they wish to be true. Recognizing the Argument from Ignorance is the first step in this process. UFOlogists can make great changes by learning to filter out claims that use the proof of nonexistence as a requirement.

The dinosaur-murdering asteroid maybe also triggered an underwater volcano meltdown

The cataclysmic asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs might have also triggered massive volcanic eruptions deep beneath the ocean, new research says. It’s yet another way the extraterrestrial impact could have killed off more than 70 percent of life on Earth — that is, if the timing isn’t just a coincidence.

Roughly 66 million years ago, a 6-mile-wide asteroid crashed into Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula — causing a massive, worldwide earthquake. That Earth-shaking impact might have made underwater volcanoes spit up magma even more ferociously than usual, according to a study published today in the journal Science Advances. These events might have added to the asteroid’s apocalyptic aftershocks — which include wildfires, global cooling, and acid rain — that caused the mass extinction of roughly three quarters of Earth’s species, including dinos.

The findings back up earlier reports of more intense volcanic eruptions in India also roughly 66 million years ago. But other scientists are skeptical about the link between the asteroid and the underwater volcanic eruptions, because the paper doesn’t propose exactly how they happened. “Why would that much earthquake energy cause eruptions like that?” says Sean Gulick, a geophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin who did not participate in the study. “It’s an interesting idea, but where’s the model that backs up the physics that would allow that to happen?”

For decades, scientists have been arguing about whether volcanoes or an asteroid caused the massive climate shifts that spelled doom for the dinosaurs. The evidence supporting the asteroid hypothesis kept mounting. But then, a few years ago, scientists at UC Berkeley asked, why pick one flavor of apocalypse? Both might have been on the menu 66 million years ago: the asteroid, for instance, might have intensified eruptions from a particularly volcanic region in India called the Deccan Traps. So Earth scientists Joseph Byrnes at the University of Minnesota and Leif Karlstrom at the University of Oregon went looking for more signs of ancient eruptions, in easy-to-spot stretches of the seafloor.

Gaps in the Earth’s crust called mid-ocean ridges weep magma to create the ocean floor, churning out material at a pretty even pace of up to several inches each year. That allowed Karlstrom and Byrnes to pinpoint the sections produced roughly 66 million years ago. But searching for signs of volcanic eruptions isn’t as easy as looking for bumpy tracts of hardened lava on the bottom of the ocean. “It’s hard to get to the sea floor because the ocean is sitting on it,” Byrnes says. Instead, the team turned to satellite maps of the peaks and valleys in the ocean’s surface. These bumpy spots produced by, say, an underwater volcano belching out magma have more mass, and therefore a bigger gravitational pull, than valleys or flat regions. So underwater peaks pull more ocean around them, creating wrinkles in the surface that can be seen from space.

Karlstrom and Byrnes found two bumps in stretches of the Earth’s crust in the Pacific and Indian Oceans that were produced within a million years of that 66 million-year-old impact. These bumps were made up of between 23,000 and 240,000 cubic miles (100,000 to 1 million cubic kilometers) of magma, Byrnes says — which means that the mid-ocean ridges had suddenly started erupting more intensely than at any other point in 100 million years. “No normal process makes those bumps, otherwise we’d see it more than once,” he says. ”If it’s just a random burp of magma, it happened at a very coincidental time.”

Byrnes and Karlstrom suspect that when the infamous asteroid crashed into the Yucatán, it hit the Earth like the clapper on a bell. The impact sent powerful vibrations ringing through the Earth at roughly the intensity of a magnitude 10 or 11 quake. This massive jolt might have made these mid-ocean ridges squirt out more magma, the authors say — although the exact mechanisms remain a mystery.

“It validates our prediction that other magma systems were affected, too — which is kind of cool!” says Paul Renne, a planetary scientist at UC Berkeley who co-authored a paper about those intense eruptions in India 66 million years ago. His team proposed that the seismic shakeup from the asteroid’s impact could have made magma fizz out of volcanoes “kind of like when you shake a can of coke,” he says.

But Gulick isn’t as convinced. For one thing, the dates are a little fuzzy — the increased volcanic activity the study reports happened within a million years of when the asteroid touched down in the Yucatán: that could have been before the impact, or long after. “So how do we really know that something within those million years is directly related to an event that happened on a specific day?” Gulick says. “The resolution isn’t good enough to say that.” He also wishes the study had been clearer about exactly how the asteroid’s impact increased volcanic eruptions at these mid-ocean ridges. “It’s an interesting observation, but I’m a little skeptical.”

Byrnes says that’s a fair critique. But, he adds, they only see the evidence of increased eruptions at one point in time. “And it just so happens it lines up with the impact’s age,” he says. In the future, he and Karlstrom intend to investigate how these eruptions may have caused changes in ocean chemistry. But for now, they’re excited by the responses to the research they’ve been getting from the rest of the scientific community. “You get really good at failing and bouncing back from that,” Karlstrom says. “But every now and then when something does work, it’s nice to see that people are also excited about it.”

Vertical UFO Stuns Mexico in First ‘Alien Sighting’ of 2018

Vertical UFO Alien Spotted Over Mexico

Fact Check:

A video shared widely since mid-Jan 2018 purports to show a Vertical UFO Alien Spotted Over Mexico. Interestingly, the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) was shown as first ‘Alien sighting’ of 2018. The flying object seen in the video was in fact not identified, but the claim that it belongs to Aliens is certainly not true.

Vertical UFO Alien Spotted Over Mexico

Origin of Video – Vertical UFO Alien Spotted Over Mexico

The video shows a driver capturing on camera an upright object flying in the air over sky in Mexico. YouTube channel Virality TV shared the video as first UFO sighting in Mexico, suggesting Alien watch. However, Facebook user Ufologo Pedro Ramírez, who calls himself UFOlogist, shared it in early Jan 2018. As a matter of fact, he suggested the tubular UFO hovering over Mexican sky is a proof of Aliens watching our activity in space.

Not Alien

Firstly, the vertical UFO object was captured on camera from a moving vehicle. So, it gives a false impression that the object is flying fast in sky. Once the video became popular online, YouTube user Louis aguilar posted a video showing similar object flying in San Antonio, Texas.

Intrigued viewers suggested the UFO in Mexico could be a drone in the US border region, a weather balloon or a man testing some kind of Jet Pack. As you can see in the images, the shape of the UFO remains same through the flight in the first place. Likewise, it resembles the shape of a Stormtrooper Helium Balloon, which are widely available as novelty gifts. In the video below, you can see couple of such balloons flying in sky. Furthermore, it was new year time, so it is probably the case.

Screaming Mummy Finally Released From Its Storage Room

Sorry for that tabloid-y headline but it’s exactly what happened. A mummy called the “Screaming Mummy” because its face was preserved in a picture of agony has been removed from storage and put on display this week at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo for the first time since it was moved there for safekeeping. The exhibition coincides with a definitive revelation as to the reason behind the mummy’s scream.

‘The gruesome mummy of Unknown Man E, also known as the “Screaming Mummy,” has long puzzled scholars. Such unusual mummification has perplexed Egyptologists and no one has succeeded in knowing the story behind such a mummy until the launch of the Egyptian Mummy Project several years ago under my direction to create a complete database of forensic information related to the mummy collection at the Egyptian Museum.”

Egyptologist Zahi Hawass, the former Minister of Antiquities who led the Egyptian Mummies Project, told Al-Ahram Weekly(more pictures here) what the researchers have found after more detailed studies of its skin and a new analysis of its DNA.

Deir el-Bahari

But first, a little background.

In 1881, a tomb-robber named Abd el-Rassul claimed to have discovered a cache of mummified remains and funeral artifacts in a tomb next to Deir el-Bahri, in the Theban Necropolis (later research shows it may have been found 10 years earlier). After realizing it was a royal tomb, he and a brother plundered it until being caught selling the artifacts on the black market. Egyptologist were brought in and performed a different kind of plundering – they quickly (within 48 hours) removed the mummies and artifacts from the tomb (now called TT 320) without recording their placements, damaging much in the process.

By far the strangest discovery in TT 320 was the screaming mummy or “Unknown Man E.” Initial analysis showed that the body had been embalmed quickly without the standard removal of its brain and internal organs. The cedar coffin appeared to have been roughly widened to fit the body, suggesting the family had some reason to bury it quickly. What was it?

According to Hawass, the body was wrapped in sheepskin, symbolizing that the person was considered to be impure. Its hands and feet were tied with leather straps. In fact, it was not even mummified – the body was merely dried, then had resin poured into its open mouth, preserving the scream look. The biggest discovery was marks around the neck — evidence that the person died by hanging.

Those marks, coupled with the DNA analysis showing that the Screaming Mummy was closely related to Ramses III, a conspiracy story detailed in the famous Harem Conspiracy Papyrus (on display at the Museo Egizio in Turin) and the disgraceful way the body was preserved and buried convinced Hawass that Unknown Man E was indeed Prince Pentawere, the son who plotted the murder of his father Ramses III and was sentenced to death for his role in the conspiracy which was led by his mother, Tiye, who hoped to make him pharaoh instead of Ramses IV. While it’s now known that Pentawere died by hanging, it’s not evident if it was by execution or by suicide.

Unlike his tomb, the case appears to be airtight that the Screaming Mummy is Prince Pentawere. And yes, Prince Penteware and the Screaming Mummies would be a great name for a band.

Muisstil en pijlsnel: ‘Zoon van de Concorde’ vliegt in 3 uur van Londen naar New York - HLN.be 

Bron: NASA; Metro UK; Daily Mail

De officiële naam van het vliegtuig luidt ’Quiet Supersonic Transport (QueSST). Zoals de naam al doet vermoeden vliegt het toestel sneller dan het geluid, 1.700 kilometer per uur om precies te zijn. Bovendien is NASA erin geslaagd de supersonische knal te dempen. Wanneer een vliegtuig door de geluidsmuur vliegt, gaat dat gepaard met een knal en bij de Concorde leidde die vaak tot geluidsoverlast.

Een woordvoerder van NASA liet eerder al weten dat de organisatie ernaar streeft om de supersonische knal zo te dempen dat hij nog amper merkbaar is voor de mensen op de grond. “De knal moet even stil worden als een verre donderslag of als het geluid van een buurman die de deur van zijn auto toeslaat.”

Vliegtuigbouwer Lockheed Martin maakte al een eerste ontwerp voor de QueSST, maar NASA spoort andere bedrijven aan om ook een ontwerp in te dienen.

Als alles volgens plan verloopt moet de QueSST in 2021 zijn eerste vlucht maken. Het toestel geldt vooral als voorbeeld voor vliegtuigbouwers, die in de toekomst snellere lijnvliegtuigen zullen bouwen. “De QueSST zal Amerikaanse bedrijven aanzetten om snellere commerciële vliegtuigen te bouwen, wat zal leiden tot meer jobs en kortere reistijden”, luidt het bij het Amerikaanse ministerie van Begroting, dat dit jaar liefst 19,9 miljard dollar (16,1 miljard euro) uittrok voor NASA. Dat is 500 miljoen dollar meer dan vorig jaar.

‘Schreeuwende’ mummie is al jaren een raadsel, nu zijn archeologen een stapje dichter bij de waarheid - HLN.be

Bron: The Sun, News.com.au

Wanneer archeologen in juni 1886 het gemummificeerde lichaam ontdekten, waren ze verrast door de gelaatsuitdrukking van deze jonge man. Het lijkt wel alsof hij aan het roepen was toen hij zijn laatste adem uitblies. Iets wat archeologen nog nooit eerder gezien hadden. Sinds zijn vondst werd volop gespeculeerd over de achtergrond van deze bijzondere mummie.

Vadermoord

Verschillende theorieën werden geopperd over de schijnbaar pijnlijke dood van de man. De meest populaire is dat het om prins Pentewere, de zoon van farao Ramses III en een van zijn vrouwen Tiye, gaat. Die had het plan om zijn vader te vermoorden om zo de troon te kunnen bestijgen, maar die poging mislukte. Daarom moest de man voor de rechter verschenen. Zijn straf? Hij moest zichzelf van het leven beroven.

Niet in het hiernamaals

Maar de laatste theorieën trekken dat in twijfel. Professor Bob Brier, een archeoloog aan de universiteit van Long Island in New York, heeft het lichaam onlangs onderzocht en heeft ontdekt waarom deze man een erg ongewone gelaatsuitdrukking had. “Deze mummie is onderhevig aan twee krachten: eentje die zijn lichaam wil afbreken en eentje die hem wil bewaren. Om de een of andere reden was er iemand die er zeker van wilde zijn dat hij niet in het hiernamaals nog een leven zou hebben. Maar dan was er een andere persoon die wel om deze persoon gaf en heeft geprobeerd te voorkomen dat zijn lichaam zou vergaan.”

Schapenhuid

Professor Zahi Hawass, voormalig hoofd van de Egyptische Hoge Raad van Antiquiteiten, zegt dat de kans groot is dat de mummie een prins was die zijn familie ten schande heeft gebracht. Hij werd namelijk begraven met andere leden van de koninklijke familie. Maar hij was bedekt met schapenhuid, dit was in de tijd van de oude Egyptenaren een teken dat je niet ‘schoon’ was, dat deze persoon iets slechts in zijn leven had gedaan. We hebben nog nooit een mummie als deze gezien, die zichtbaar aan het lijden is. Deze abnormale gelaatsuitdrukking vertelt ons dat er iets gebeurd is, maar we weten niet wat.” 

De schreeuwende mummie wordt nu voor het eerst in het Egyptisch museum in Caïro tentoongesteld.

For an object that wasn’t discovered until it was already on its way back to wherever it came from, Oumuamua has certainly garnered a lot of publicity. First, of course, it was determined that the cigar-shaped thing was the first known interstellar object to pass through our Solar System. Arguments about what kind of object it is were seemingly settled when astronomers determined it was an asteroid, not a comet, but a strange asteroid with an icy center. That hasn’t pacified the small but vocal group that still believes it’s an abandoned space ship/robotic craft from another civilization. It also didn’t explain why Oumuamua was tumbling nor why it had such an odd surface.

Since it blew by, a team of researchers at Queen’s University Belfast have been studying Oumuamua and think they’ve solved at least some of its mysteries. Led by Dr. Wes Fraser, they analyzed light reflected from the cuts and angles on its surface and, like investigators at the scene of a hit-and-run auto accident, were able to determine that Oumuamua also collided with something and that impact severely damaged its surface and disrupted its rotation as it shoved the planetesimal out of its own solar system and on a path to ours.

“While we don’t know the cause of the tumbling, we predict that it was most likely sent tumbling by an impact with another planetesimal in its system, before it was ejected into interstellar space.”

Their research, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, shows that Oumuamua is spinning “chaotically,” a condition generally caused by a violent impact. Their model indicates this could have occurred billions of years ago and it may take billions more before the shaking and tumbling stops and Oumuamua returns to looking like a tight Nick Foles spiral pass (sorry Tom Brady).

Like the mix of scratched paint, paint from the other car, bare metal and rust that you see after a car accident, the collision may also explain the mysterious variety of colors – from dark red to “dirty snow” — on Oumuamua.

“Most of the surface reflects neutrally but one of its long faces has a large red region. This argues for broad compositional variations, which is unusual for such a small body.”

Knowing all of this will help astronomers in their quest to find more small, dark, chaotic objects with violent pasts like Oumuamua. This is starting to sound like a soap opera, a murder mystery and a sci-fi thriller rolled into one.

Are we SURE Oumuamua isn’t a spaceship?

Former Head Of Secret X-Files Says the US Has More Radar Footage Of UFOs

The public can expect more compelling video footage to come as what the former head of a top-secret Pentagon real-life X-Files probe has promised.

Luis Elizondo led the £16 million Advanced Aerial Threat Identification Program (AATIP) of the US Department of Defense.

After resigning from the department in October to join a UFO research group, Luis released two videos caught on US Navy pilot radar cameras.

He pointed out that the craft in the video moved in ways that defied physics.

US Navy pilots filmed one of the military radar videos in November 2004 off the coast of San Diego. The pilots described observing various UFOs.

The bizarre case became known as the Nimitz UFO Incident.

However, sceptics have been saying that the video only involved a wrongly identified plane. It prompted Mr Elizondo to reveal there is more to come, including encounters with unknown technology that is more advanced than anything in the military around the world, which documented in video recordings. He said that around 24 other UFO videos are being declassified for release in the coming months to the public.

Answering back at those who claimed they only showed planes, he said that the object came into a near hover state and took off suddenly over the horizon in just two seconds, so it could not be just a plane. He added that it was not also an IR glare or IR fuzz because you cannot lock radar on it.

The Mysterious 12,000-Year-Old Dropa Stones, Evidence Of Ancient Alien Contact?

More than 80 years ago, Chinese archaeologists discovered a cave system with chilling skeletons with elongated heads, a cosmic map, and more than 700 strange discs…

The mysterious discovery was allegedly made in 1930 when Chi Pu Tei, an archeology professor at Peking University and his students were on an expedition to explore a series of caves in the inaccessible mountains of Bayan Kara Ula, near Tibet, which were supposedly carved artificially in a system of underground tunnels and pantries.

According to these events, it is said that professor Chi Pu Tei and his students found tombs with skeletons of 1.38 m (4 ft 6 in) in height buried inside them. The skeletons would have had abnormally large heads and small, thin and fragile bodies. In addition to the skeletal remains, professor Chi Pu Tei and his students discovered countless other items.

It was suggested that these skeletal remains could have belonged to an unknown species of a mountain gorilla, but Professor Chi Pu Tei did not agree and responded: “Whoever heard about monkeys burying each other?”

There were no epitaphs in the tombs, but instead, they found more than 700 stone discs (“Dropa Stones”) with 8 cm holes in diameter at their centers.

On the walls, carvings of the rising sun, the moon, stars, the earth, mountains, and dotted lines linking the earth with the sky were found.

The discs and the cave paintings are said to date approximately 12,000 years. Their whereabouts today remains a mystery.

All of this raised a great mystery: Who were these mysterious beings? What were the enigmatic discs, and where did the star maps carved on the cave walls lead to?

Dropa Discs

The mysterious Dropa Discs.

Each stone disc, reportedly, would have been inscribed with two thin grooves that spiral from the edge to the central hole.

It is believed that the enigmatic Dropa Discs and other items discovered during the expedition were kept at the Peking University for 20 years.

All attempts to decipher the writing on the Dropa Discs were useless.

However, the discs were examined by Dr. Tsum Um Nui, in Beijing around 1958, who concluded that each groove consisted of a set of tiny hieroglyphs of unknown origin.

The rows were so small that a magnifying glass was necessary to see them clearly. Many of the hieroglyphics were worn out by erosion.

When Dr. Tsum allegedly deciphered the symbols, he revealed how the ancient writings tell a story of an otherworldly encounter where an ancient alien ship crash landed on Earth some 12,000 years ago.

According to Tsum Um Nui, one of the hieroglyphic lines read: “The Dropas came down from the clouds in their aircraft. Our men, women, and children hid in the caves ten times before sunrise. When at last they understood the sign language of the Dropas, they realized that the newcomers had peaceful intentions.”

Another section reads “regret” of the inhabitants of the mountain (tribe of the Ham) because the aliens had crashed their ship and could not build another to return to their planet.

Dr. Tsum reportedly published his discovery in 1962.

However, he would have been mocked to such an extent that he left China in exile moving to Japan, where he would later die.

It is said that the Beijing Pre-History Academy would never have allowed him to publish or discuss his find again.

Furthermore, due to the fact that “Tsum Um Nui” is not a real Chinese name, some critics suggest that the man never existed.

Others claim that Tsum Um Nui is a Japanese name adapted to the Chinese language. In addition to his theories about the Dropa, there is no further evidence that he ever existed.

In 1974, Ernst Wegerer, an Austrian engineer, photographed two discs that matched the descriptions of the Dropa Stones. He was on a guided tour of the Bampo Museum in Xian, when he saw the stone discs.

One of ‘Wegener’s polaroids of two of the Dropa stones.

He said he observed a hole in the center of each disk and hieroglyphs in grooves, partly crumbled, like a spiral. It is said that when he enquired about the discs the manager could tell him nothing, but permitted him to take one in his hand and photograph them. He claims that in his photos the hieroglyphs cannot be seen as they have been hidden by the flash from the camera and have also deteriorated. By 1994, the discs and the manager had disappeared from the museum.

Critics largely rejected the story of the Dropa discs, arguing that it was a mixture of deception and urban legend.

For example, writer David Richie mentions that these stories intrigued Gordon Chreighton, a member of the Royal Society of Anthropology and the Royal Society of Geography.

In the investigation, Chreighton considered the allegations about the Dropa “unfounded,” and detailed his findings in an article for the Flying Saucer Review.

It is not easy to find credible evidence to show that the Dropa Stones exist or have existed in the past.

Defenders of the story claim that it is the result of a social disruption caused by the Chinese Cultural Revolution and a cover-up conspired by the authorities of that country.

However, this goes beyond China; since those who oppose the history of the Dropa, claim that it is a deception of Erich von Däniken.

In 1936, during excavations on a hill in Kujut Rabua, a village southeast of Baghdad (Iraq), workers of the Iraqi State Railway Department discovered an old grave covered with a stone slab.

For two months, the Iraqi Department of Antiquities extracted a total of 613 beads, clay figurines, chiseled bricks and other pieces.

They were dated between 248 BC and 226 AD.

They also found unique terracotta pots, shaped like a vase and of a light yellowish color, containing a cylinder made of a rolled copper sheet, which houses a single iron rod. The container measured 14 cm high by 4 cm in diameter, while the copper cylinder measured 9 cm high by 2.6 cm in diameter. At the top, the iron rod is isolated from the copper by bitumen, with plugs or stoppers, and both rod and cylinder fit snugly inside the opening of the jar.

In 1939 German archaeologist Wilhelm König, then in charge of the State Museum Laboratory in Baghdad, identified the mysterious artifacts as a probable ancient electric battery.

He described his finding in 9 Jahre Iraq, published in Austria in 1940.

Respecters analyzed the alleged batters trying to prove they were really used as such. During one occasion, an electrolyte was placed inside it, connected to a lamp, which eventually turned on. The official report that was written later said that this object behaved exactly like a modern electric battery.

Once he returned to the Berlin Museum, König tried finding more similar items and found cylinders, rods and similar artifacts from Mesopotamia; all of them with thin iron and bronze rods. It seemed to him that these “batteries” could have been joined in series (one after the other) to increase the voltage for a greater power output.

If these mystery artifacts were really batteries, it would change a lot about ancient civilizations, and their capabilities and level of technology.

After World War II, Willard Gray, an electronics engineer at the High Voltage Laboratory of the General Electric Company in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, manufactured a duplicate of these batteries and filled them with copper sulfate ( although he stated that another liquid electrolyte could have been used within the reach of the inhabitants of Iraq at the time, like ordinary grape juice).

To the surprise of many, the battery operated and generated between one and two volts.

As noted by Dennielle Downs, and Ava Meyerhoff from the Smith College, “There is no written record as to the exact function of the jar, but the best guess is that it was a type of battery. Scientists believe the batteries (if that is their correct function) were used to electroplate items such as putting a layer of one metal (gold) onto the surface of another (silver), a method still practiced in Iraq today.”

Despite the fact there is evidence that the enigmatic objects could have produced electricity, the real purpose of the ‘Baghdad Batteries’ remains a mystery for many scholars.

The Discovery Channel’s series ‘Myth Busters’ built replicas of the jars to see if it was indeed possible for them to have been used for electroplating or electrostimulation in ancient times.

On MythBusters’ 29th episode (March 23, 2005), the crew behind the series produced ten hand-made terracotta jars fitted to act as batteries.

Lemon juice was chosen as the electrolyte to activate the electrochemical reaction between the copper and iron.

Connected in series, the batteries produced 4 volts of electricity.

When linked in series, the cells had sufficient power to electroplate a small token.

Welcome to another edition of “Celebrity UFO Spotting,” where contestants try to figure out if a famous person’s unidentified flying object or ET sighting report is real or a desperate attempt to garner publicity for a new movie, book or album. Today’s celebrity is Kim Wilde. If you said “Who?” or “I didn’t know she was still around,” that’s a point in favor of “Must have a new album coming out.” See how this works?

In an interview in the current edition of Attitude magazine, Kim Wilde reveals that she had her UFO encounter in 2009.

“There were a couple of massive lights just above the clouds, going backwards and forwards in an extraordinary way. Quite a lot of people witnessed them, it made the local papers.”

Well, according to a UK UFO report, on June 26, 2009, a UFO was reported in Hertfordshire where Kim lived at the time. One point for Kim.

“When you see something as extraordinary and maybe extra-terrestrial like that you’re never quite the same. I believe they’re here already or visiting, watching us. I haven’t gone loopy, I just can’t stop thinking about it.”

That’s a common reaction among people who have witnessed UFOs.

Another point for Kim.

“I said to my husband that maybe the captain was a big Kim Wilde fan and wanted to know where I live. I’m worried he’s going to beam me up and I’ll have to sing “Kids in America” to him for the rest of my life. I’m worried they’re going to come back and take me away.”

Oh, Kim, you were doing so well! Getting a plug in for your biggest hit sounds like you’re promoting something. And … she is! Her new album, with her first new songs in 22 years, is called “Here Come The Aliens” and is scheduled to be released on March 16. After that, she hits the concert stage with a European tour called … you guessed it … the Here Come the Aliens Tour. Sorry, Kim, that’s three points to the other side for plugging an album, plugging a tour and referring to aliens in the names of both.

There’s something else strange about Wilde’s UFO story. In an interview in OK! Magazine in 2015, Kim talks about the same UFO sighting, only this time connects it to something significant that happened the day before … Michael Jackson’s death.

“It was 26 June, the day after Michael Jackson died, and me and my mate were in the garden and we saw bright lights in the sky … They were about 20 times the size of an aeroplane … It was so huge, two of them, going zig-zag for 10 minutes.”

Did you think the captain of the ship was coming to abduct you, Kim?

“It was the day after Michael Jackson died and I thought, ‘He is coming back to haunt me!’

That may have been what Kim actually felt if and when she saw the UFO, since she didn’t have anything to plug in 2015. Sorry, Kim … two more points to the other side for changing your story just to plug a CD and dumping a really good about Michael Jackson.

The point totals for this edition of “Celebrity UFO Spotting” say Kim Wilde is pumping up her album and tour. How did YOU score it?

Kepler/K2 mission, and all three are slightly larger than Earth. An artist's impression of a stellar system with three super-Earths.

In the Pisces constellation, 100 light-years away, NASA’s Kepler/K2 mission has discovered a Super-Earth eight times larger than Planet Earth.

Super-Earths are extra-solar planets with greater masses than earth. The name refers only to its size, and not to its composition, which could be rocky or gassy. This is far from the only Super-Earth that the Kepler mission has discovered.

Composition helps determine the history of a planet, so this discovery could provide further insights on how planets form, especially since there are no planets of this size in our solar system.

The recently discovered Super-Earth, known as Planet B, is one of three in the constellation, all of which are larger than our earth. At eight times the size of Earth, Planet B represents one of the most massive and densest super-earths found to date. The masses for the other two Super-Earths, Planet C and Planet D, are very roughly estimated to be about two and a half and four times the Earth’s mass, respectively.

By looking at planetary mass and radius, scientists can calculate the planets’ bulk density, which provides clues as to whether they are rocky — like Earth — or gassy, like Neptune. Scientists have found that when planets have a radii about 1.7 times greater than Earth, they are more likely to be surrounded by a gassy atmosphere, like Neptune, while those that are smaller are more likely to be rocky, like our Earth.

And with radii between 1.29 and 2.08, there are both rocky and gassy planets among these three.

Of course, the radii alone is not definitive, as Sharon Wang, one of the Carnegie scientists that made the discovery, cautioned. “More observations are needed to pin down the compositions of these three planets, but they do seem like some of the best candidates to test our ideas about how super-Earths form and evolve…”

The Carnegie scientists, including Steve Shectman, Sharon Wang, Paul Butler, Jeff Crane, and Ian Thompson, made the discovery of the planets with the [Planet Finding Spectrograph] (PFS)(https://users.obs.carnegiescience.edu/crane/pfs/).

Lost remains of British UFO found

By Richard Wood

Wreckage missing from a mini UFO -  which was labelled the ‘British Roswell’ - has been found in a tin box at a London museum.

A mysterious metal disc found on Silpho Moor in a remote part of Yorkshire in 1957 was nicknamed the ‘Silpho UFO’, reports the UK Telegraph.

Newspapers in northern England at the time reported a small “copper-bottomed flying saucer” being found.

The remaining parts of the Silpho UFO, found in 1957, were rumoured by the UFO community to have ended up on a scrap heap or even on display in a local fish and chip shop.

The 40cms-wide lump of metal inscribed with hieroglyphics was similar to the wreckage of the famous UFO found at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947.

The remains of the flying saucer that were locked in a British museum's archives for six decades. (Dr David Clarke, Sheffield-Hallam University).

After the mystery object was cut open, a book made of 17 thin copper sheets covered in more hieroglyphics was discovered inside.

But when the wreckage was examined by experts from the Natural History Museum in London, it was dismissed as a hoax.

They found no evidence it had any heat damage from entering the Earth’s atmosphere.

The remains then apparently disappeared, prompting conspiracy theories it had been deliberately destroyed by the British government.

But now it has emerged the object was sent to London’s Science Museum in 1963 and was stored in a cigarette tin.

It came to light when journalism lecturer Dr David Clarke was giving a recent talk at the Science Museum.

"One of the museum staff tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was aware that ‘bits of a flying saucer’ had been kept in a cigarette tin in the museum group store for decades," he said.

Was Quetzalcoatl An Extraterrestrial? Here’s How Mesoamerican “Mythology” Described Him

By QuoterLand

With the recent release of the Pentagon’s UFO footage, which comprised of two videos filmed by U.S. Navy pilots of objects performing maneuvers that defy our current understanding of aerodynamics, the topic of UFOs has once again grabbed headlines around the world.

The video was a step forward towards disclosing the fact that there are unknown objects in our atmosphere that are commonly spotted and tracked on radar by defence authorities. They are highly technologically advanced, more so than any air-craft which is available in any global inventory at the moment.

Further to this, many people have had strange sightings that don’t really ‘make sense,’ in the realm of known aircrafts. The frequency of these sightings are not uncommon these days, especially for avid star gazers.

Haven’t seen one yourself? Well, how often are you looking up into the night sky? For many people, the answer is little to never.

Who Man’s These Craft’s?

The next question to be asked is, are these objects, or at least some of them, extraterrestrial?

According to one of the pilots who filmed the UFO released by the Pentagon, yes, they are, at least that’s their belief. The Pentagon’s “aerial defence” program director, Luis Elizondo also shared his belief that they are, along with hundreds of other high ranking personnel from several branches of military, intelligence, academia, aerospace and academia. He said that there is plenty of evidence to make that connection… The most recent example might be Robert Bigelow, founder of the Bigelow Aerospace corporation who, not long ago, stated that he knows we are being visited, and have been visited by ET’s.

“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. . . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time. . . . I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.”

– Doctor Edgar Mitchell, sixth man to walk on the moon (source)(source)(source)

I elaborate on that discussion in a recent article, if you’re interested:

It’s Official, We Know That UFOs or “UAP” Are Real, So Are They Extraterrestrial or Not? 

Quetzalcoatl 

Ancient history is fascinating to say the least, and we’ve discovered so much about it. But, at the same time, we still know very little about Earth’s history and even the history of humanity. One of the most fascinating points to make about ancient history is that much of which was once considered mythological, is actually turning out to be true.

Perhaps information that didn’t fit within our framework of accepted knowledge was deemed mythological? How can we take seriously the writings of ancient Greek philosophers when describing social life and other aspects of humanity, yet when it comes to other areas of the world, like the Oracle at Delphi, they are placed in a the mythological realm?

Perhaps some was mythological, but perhaps some of what we call mythological was actually real.

Another great example is the Lost Land of Atlantis, a highly technologically advanced civilization that would shake what we thought we knew of human history, it’s not so much a tale anymore, and it’s one of many examples that show what we’ve been taught may not be completely correct.

For anybody who has done their research in this area, it’s quite clear given the evidence we now have, that Atlantis was far from a mythological place. Given our research on Atlantis, and many scholars out there, Atlantis is no joke, and perhaps before that, Lemuria as well.

This is why when it comes to stories of figures like Quetzalcoatl, it’s always interesting to contemplate that they were real.

The video footage mentioned above, which was released by the Pentagon, was done so in conjunction with To The Stars Academy headed by Tom Delonge, along with Luis Elizondo (mentioned earlier), and several other figures who’ve held high level positions within the Department of Defence. The Pentagon is working with the academy in the disclosure of UFO’s.

That in itself is a completely different discussion with many implications. It’s hard to trust the government these days, so can we really trust them with UFO disclosure and what that means? Will leave this for another time.

Delonge recently made some interesting comments about his experiences so far, and the contacts he’s been able to make, and the discussions that have been had.

Tom states in a Podcast with Joe Rogan:

“I went and met a former director of the CIA and NSA…Right when I sat down and told him about the book you know what he says to me? He goes, “I didn’t read much science fiction when I was a kid but I read a lot about Greek mythology”…The sixth biggest defense contractor in the world is a company called Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC)…and in the front of the building (SAIC’s headquarters) you have an obelisk coming out of a fake leg and two Atlantians on thrones, and they’re both holding pyramids and one says the past and one says the future, and they’re 8 foot tall statues.”

Interesting, isn’t it?

So, who was Quetzalcoatl? Considered to be a mythical tale, Spanish chronicler Juan de Torquemada states that Quetzalcoatl was ‘a fair and ruddy complexioned man with a long beard. Another describes him as follows:

“A mysterious person…a white man with strong formation of body, broad forehead, large eyes, and a flowing beard. He was dressed in a long, white robe reaching to his feet. He condemned sacrifices, except of fruits and flowers, and was known as the god of peace…When addressed on the subject of war he is reported to have stopped up his ears with his fingers.”  (source)

Graham Hancock, one of the world’s foremost researchers into such things, describes another description from Central American Mayan tradition in his book, Fingerprints of the Gods:

“He came from across the sea in a boat that moved by itself without paddles. He was a tall, bearded white man who taught people to use fire for cooking. He also built houses and showed couples that they could live together as husband and wife; and since people often quarrelled in those days, he taught them to live in peace.” 

This figure is spoken of the Mesoamerican culture.

It’s interesting because there are multiple accounts of various figures, not just Quetzalcoatl, all of which seemed to have provided humanity with a little ‘push’, here and there, and assistance with regards to discovery. Nothing was really done for humanity, it seemed that the common theme through all of these contacts was for us to better ourselves, and be responsible for our own progression, with a little bit of assistance.

Not all of the ‘gods’ were kind, loving and peaceful. There were others who required sacrifices, and seemed to almost be a little opposite of ones like Quetzalcoatl.

What’s also interesting is that the descriptions of Quetzalcoatl resemble modern day descriptions of some, supposed extraterrestrial beings. Those who have examined the lore, like myself, would know this. Could these have been who we consider today, benevolent extraterrestrial beings? Perhaps.

Blue Avians. Drawn by Android Jones for GAIA.

Ancient history, along with many ancient cultures who pre-date modern-day religion, all have very interesting stories which can easily be interpreted has highly advanced beings from another place.

The idea that these are just mere interpretations seem to be dwindling every year. Being an avid researcher in the field for more than a decade, I can tell you that extraterrestrial intelligence is just the tip of the iceberg. It truly does open up Pandora’s box, and there is much more to this universal story, so much so that we probably couldn’t even comprehend it.

The evidence today points to the idea that we’ve been visited for a long time, so to contemplate the idea that these were extraterrestrial visits is not out of the question.

“There are objects in our atmosphere which are technically miles in advance of anything we can deploy, that we have no means of stopping them coming here … [and] that there is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations….Who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.”

 – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (source)

If they have been here as well as visiting us for a long time, that’s good news. It takes out the idea of an ‘extraterrestrial invasion’, because, if that were the case, it would have already happened by now.

To find all of our archived articles on the UFO/Extraterrestrial phenomenon, you can visit the exopolitics section of our website.

The meaning of Quetzalcoatl is “feathered serpent,” this is the translation that comes from ancient South America, from the Maya and the Aztecs. In Hancock’s book, he goes on to describe how there were other entities who resembled Quetzalcoatl  quite closely:

“There were other deities, among the Maya in particular, whose identities seemed to merge closely with those of Quetzalcoatl. One was Votan, a great civilizer, who was also described as pale-skinned, bearded and wearing a long robe. Sholars could offer no translation for his name but his principal symbol, like that of Quetzalcoatl, was a serpent. Another closely related figure was Itzamana, the Mayan god of healing, who was robed and bearded individual, his symbol, too, was the rattlesnake.”

Graham, in his book, goes on to state:

“All of the legends stated unambiguously that Quetzalcoatl/Kukulkan/Gucumatz/Votan/Itzamana had arrived in Central America from some-where very far away (across the “Eastern Sea”)  and that amid great sadness he had eventually sailed off again in the direction whence he had come.”

This is an interested quote, and relates closely to a sentiment shared by a First Nations Canadian storyteller, Richard Wagamese:

“My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.” (source)

Interesting to think about. These are versions of history that old more plausibility to them than the ones we currently consider concrete. As we continue to move forward exponentially, perhaps our destiny is in the stars and we ourselves one day will be the extraterrestrials, or perhaps we already are.

Self-healing and fully recyclable electronic skin will help robots feel touch

BY TIBI PUIU

Scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder devised an electronic skin, or e-skin, which mimics the mechanical and functional properties of natural human skin. The artificial skin is stretchable and bendable, but also capable of measuring pressure, temperature, and vibration. In the future, this upgrade will enable robots to sense their environment, making human-robot interactions less creepy. E-skin will also be helpful for disabled humans who are forced to wear a prosthesis.

Robo-touch

Electronic skin isn’t a novel concept. For the last decade, scientists all over the world have demonstrated functional artificial skin that possesses the ability to feel and touch objects. However, this is the first time that we’re shown an e-skin that can both heal itself and is fully recyclable.

“This particular device … won’t produce any waste,” said study co-author Jianliang Xiao, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder. “We want to make electronics to be environmentally friendly.”

Xiao and colleagues made their e-skin out of polymer and silver nanoparticles, the latter being responsible for the device’s self-healing properties. If for some reason the e-skin is torn in half, the two sides can come back together in the presence of a rehealing agent and heat pressing, which restores the broken chemical bonds. If the damage is irreparable, the device can be put into a solution that separates and recovers the silver nanoparticles, thereby allowing the material to be recycled for a new e-skin.

“What is unique here is that the chemical bonding of polyimine we use allows the e-skin to be both self-healing and fully recyclable at room temperature,” Xiao said.

Xiao envisions the e-skin being fundamental to improving interactions between human beings and robots. For instance, the scientist imagines babysitting robots equipped with fingers covered in e-skin that can tell what the temperature of the baby is or can measure pressure so the robot doesn’t press too hard.

Similarly, prostheses wrapped in e-skin can enable people who have lost a limb to regain control not only of their dexterity — at least in part — but also sensing ability, as reported in the journal Science Advances.   

But this e-skin isn’t perfect. Unlike our own natural skin, the e-skin isn’t very flexible or stretchable. Worse of all, the device isn’t easily reproducible, which is why Xiao and colleagues are working on a solution that might enable them to scale down the e-skin’s manufacturing.

“We are facing pollution issues every day,” Xiao noted. “It’s important to preserve our environment and make sure that nature can be very safe for ourselves and for our kids.”

The Dendera Lightbulb—Evidence of Advanced Ancient Technology?

The Temple of Dendera, dedicated to the goddess Hathor, is one of the most mysterious ancient temples built by the Egyptians thousands of years ago. Located some 2.5 km southeast of Dendera, this ancient temple is one of the best preserved Egyptian complexes, especially its central temple, thanks to which it remained buried by sand and mud until it was unearthed by Auguste Mariette in the middle of the 19th century.

The area belonged to the sixth nome of Upper Egypt, south of Abydos.

The complex consists of:

• Hathor temple (the main temple)
• Temple of the birth of Isis
• Sacred Lake
• Sanatorium
• Mammisi of Nectanebo II
• Christian Basilica
• Roman Mammisi
• a Barque shrine
• Gateways of Domitian and Trajan
• the Roman Kiosk

The main temple features a set of reliefs that is unlike any other ancient Egyptian art.

Knowns as the Dendera Light, a mysterious relief has raised numerous questions among experts. Is it possible that thousands of years ago, just before humanity decided to start writing down history, technologies far greater than what we’ve ever imagined, existed on earth?

The Dendera Lighbulb raises numerous questions. Located on the wall inside the temple of Hathor, we see something that may not be so strange in the 21st century. A large object resembling a lightbulb being manipulated by people. However, this technology wasn’t supposed to exist in ancient Egypt. So, what is it?

According to mainstream experts and Egyptologists, the Dendera Light is not some sort of ancient technology, but a mythological depiction of a djed pillar and a lotus flower, spawning a snake within, representing aspects of Egyptian mythology.

Egyptologists claim that the reliefs are a representation of the Egyptian god Hor, “Horus unifier of the Two Lands,” or Harsomtus in Greek, which takes various forms, and one of them is the snake emerging from a lotus.

This relief is interpreted by many authors as evidence of advanced ancient technology, electricity to be precise, in ancient Egypt.

Furthermore, it is believed that the Djed pillar is a symbol of stability which is also interpreted as the backbone of the god Osiris.

In the carvings at the temple of Hathor, the four horizontal lines forming the capital of the djed are supplemented by human arms stretching out, as if the djed were a backbone.

The arms hold up the snake within the lotus flower. The snake coming from the lotus symbolize fertility, linked to the annual Nile flood.

However, many ancient astronaut theorists, as well as other authors have proposed that the enigmatic relief inside the Hathor temple does not only comprise elements of ancient Egyptian mythology but depicts a massive lightbulb.

If it was, in fact, a massive lightbulb, then what powered it?

A reconstruction of the Dendera lamp at the Mystery Park in Switzerland.

One answer may be the so-called Baghdad Batteries. More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia created countless terracotta pots, shaped like a vase and of a light yellowish color, containing a cylinder made of a rolled copper sheet, which houses a single iron rod.

The container measured 14 cm high by 4 cm in diameter, while the copper cylinder measured 9 cm high by 2.6 cm in diameter.

At the top, the iron rod is isolated from the copper by bitumen, with plugs or stoppers, and both rod and cylinder fit snugly inside the opening of the jar.

According to some experts, these enigmatic terracotta pots were, in fact, the earliest batteries on planet Earth, and may have been used to mysterious power devices such as the Dendera Libhgbulb, if of course, it ever existed.

FBI Releases UFO Footage From A Fighter Jet And The DOD Admits To Making UFO’s In Canada

NASA accidentally films the best UFO sighting yet

Another unidentified flying object was captured on video by NASA’s space cameras. In the video footage, a mysterious object –with a peculiar disk-shaped design—appears to be traveling out of Earth’s atmosphere causing a massive debate on social networks. What was it? Alien vehicle? Space Debris? Optical Illusion, or just Swamp Gas? Some are convinced it is the ultimate evidence Earth is visited by Alien beings while others remain skeptical and still, unconvinced.

Ever since the footage was uploaded to YouTube, it generated great controversy both among those who support the idea that it might be an extraterrestrial object, as among those who are completely skeptical of the subject, and as a joke suggest that “UFO’s that are planning on entering our air space should be registered and pay taxes.”

The truth is that on many occasions only fragments of videos in which these mystery objects are visible are released.

However, the fact that NASA interrupts its live feed transmissions is what arouses more suspicion among those who are eager to find new evidence of the existence of alien life, UFO’s and how we are all part of a massive conspiracy.

One user wrote on YouTube:

“The question isn’t “is this an alien spacecraft?”, but actually “Why NASA didn’t cut or blur this video as they always do with other strange sights?”

According to many people, in today’s era, it isn’t a question anymore whether or not UFO’s are real.

In fact, if we look back into the past we will see numerous fascinating statements made by former astronauts, military officials, and scientists about Alien life and the existence of UFOs.

Here are only a few:

“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Et’s, etc…They are visiting Earth now; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.” 

– Theodor C. Loder III, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire.

We cannot address the UFO phenomena without mentioning Dr. Edgar Mitchel, one of the best-known Apollo astronauts and the sixth man to walk on the moon; a retired Captain in the US Navy, aeronautical engineer and founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) who had much to say about Alien life:

“I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real…Yes, there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered. We are not alone in the universe; they have been coming here for a long time.”

Franklin Story Musgrave, an American Physician, retired NASA astronaut who worked on the design and development of the Skylab Program and the only astronaut to have flown missions on all five Space Shuttles had very interesting things to say about life elsewhere in the cosmos:

“Statistically it’s a certainty there are hugely advanced civilizations, intelligence, life forms out there. I believe they’re so advanced that they’re even doing interstellar travel. I believe it’s possible that they even came here. It’s logical to presume the universe must have other life in it and by virtue of association that we could be visited at some point.”

Géén ruimteschip met marsmannetjes aan boord: vliegende sigaar doolt rond na botsing in ruimte - HLN.be

Marc Uyttenhove 

‘Oumuamua’, alias de vliegende ruimtesigaar, is een apart geval, zo blijkt uit onderzoek van de Queen’s University uit Belfast. Zijn naam is Hawaïaans en betekent ‘verkenner/boodschapper uit de ruimte’, omdat het de astromen van de University of Hawai waren die het ding voor het eerst opmerkten. 

Vermits Oumuamua zich sneller dan andere sterachtigen bewoog, moest het wel een object zijn van buiten ons zonnestelsel. Het is de allereerste maal in de geschiedenis dat zo’n interstellaire gast ontdekt wordt, maar wetenschappers houden er rekening mee dat er boven onze hoofden nog zo’n 10.000 broertjes en zusjes van Oumuamua rondhangen. De meerderheid is echter zo klein en donker dat ze moeilijk waar te nemen zijn. Meestal blijven ze ook niet lang, hoogstens een paar weken om daarna de plaat te poetsen.  

Geduld

Behalve het feit dat het roodkleurige hemellichaam eruitziet als een sigaar of een komkommer, zo’n 400 meter lang is, een diameter van 40 meter heeft, uit dicht metaal of rots bestaat en dat er geen wolken stof of ijs rond hangen, stelden de astronomen ook nog vast dat Oumuamua niet voorspelbaar rond zijn as draait, zoals de meeste planetoïden, maar ‘tuimelt’. En dat zou komen ten gevolge van een botsing met een ander hemellichaam. Het kan ook zijn dat de asteroïde te dicht bij een ander groot hemellichaam is gekomen en dit de zwaartekracht van het object heeft beïnvloed. 

De crash zou gebeurd zijn in het systeem waar Oumuamua is ontstaan. Toch denken de onderzoekers dat de ruimtetuimelaar ooit opnieuw rond zijn oude, vertrouwde as zal draaien. Maar daar is heel veel geduld voor nodig. Want dat zal zeker 1 miljard jaar duren, nog lang nadat de vliegende sigaar ons zonnestelsel weer verlaten heeft.

Maar één ding is nu wel héél zeker: Oumuamua is geen door aliens gebouwd ruimteschip, ook al heeft het er de ultieme vorm voor. Zelfs de Britse natuurkundige, kosmoloog en wiskundige Stephen Hawking opperde die mogelijkheid. Voor de zekerheid hebben astronomen toch maar gekeken of het object misschien signalen uitstuurde. Maar die werden vooralsnog niet gevonden. Tot nader order blijft E.T. dus nog altijd pure fictie.

SHOCK as UFO FOUND with a 'chilling message' in CIGARETTE TIN at London Science Museum

A FLYING saucer called “Silpho UFO” which has been hailed as the “British Roswell” has been discovered in the archives of London’s Science Museum in a tin cigarette box, it has been revealed.

Large UFO Shows Up On Live Cam During SpaceX Tesla Car Orbit, Feb 6, 2018, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: February 6, 2018

Location of sighting: Earths orbit

 

Watch those videos below carefully, and you will soon notice that there are many small white glowing objects around the car. Also most noticeably a large quadcopter shaped UFO appears out of the darkness and then suddenly the camera switches angles...as if the camera person was trying to avoid catching the UFO, but was too late. This UFO may have been following to report this to other alien worlds, gathing info on a historical event. Excellent find by Streetcap1 of Youtube. 

 

The small snowflake UFOs are not from the engine. The engine of the craft is situated below the car, making it impossible for the engines to create this effect. The white flakes come from the side, from the far distance, as if they were alive...yes, I believe them to be. 

 

Elon Musk came from South Africa, created the world famous Pay Pal, sold it for 1.5 billion and went on the create Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Co. and Neuralink, Solar City, and of course Open AI. Do you think he did all this alone? No, he had a lot of help from aliens. Possible using him as a tool to help humanity, or he himself may be an alien or alien species born in an underground base here on Earth itself. Ether way, He's doing immense good for humanity.

Missing wreckage of UFO which 'Crash Landed' in Yorkshire is found, 60 years on

The missing wreckage of a miniature UFO that ‘crash landed’ on the North York Moors 60 years ago has been found hidden in the archives of a London museum.

The story has been claimed by some experts as Britain’s answer to the Roswell incident.

The remaining parts of the Silpho UFO have now been found In a plot worthy of The X-Files the metal object, shaped like a flying saucer with hieroglyphics inscribed on its base, was found by three men on Silpho Moor, near Scarborough, one night in November 1957.

One later paid £10 – more than £200 in today’s money – for the mysterious object that appeared just weeks after the Russians launched Sputnik into orbit around Earth.

But what became known as the Silpho Saucer vanished without trace soon after the finders cut it open in the town.

Photographs show the copper base of the object was inscribed with hieroglyphs that one of the men compared with Russian lettering.

The truth is out there! Hundreds of 'UFO and alien sightings' in UK reported to police

ALMOST 400 sightings of aliens and UFOs have been reported to UK police forces in the past three years, according to shock figures seen by Express.co.uk.

ALIEN BEINGS OF SOME KIND REALLY DID GENETICALLY ENGINEER MANKIND

Dr. Joseph P. Ferrell, author of “The Cosmic War” states, “There was once a very high paleo-ancient civilization long ago with science and technology far beyond our own. That civilization was inter-planetary by extent; it existed in our own celestial neighborhoods it fought a war and blew itself apart; and as it was doing so, realizing that it would lose all of its high science in initiated efforts to preserve it. The rise of the “mystery schools,” ancient religions, occult societies, and all such groups since then have been a long-term recovery process, and the people involved have been doing so covertly.”

Be careful not to let the specific words chosen by Dr. Farrell cause you to instantly dismiss what he suggests. Even the most devout Christian can find reference in the Holy Bible of the fallen angels in Genesis Chapter 6. They too came from the heavens and brought with them highly sophisticated technology. Terminology may vary a bit, but the stories throughout all ancient cultures are always the same. Modern “science” would have you believe humans evolved, however nothing in the ancient remains has been able to explain how modern man just popped up out of nowhere from cave dwellers to a highly advanced civilization with schools and their own writing in the first documented civilization in ancient Mesopotamia. Modern “science” cannot explain it, but the writings of that civilization surely do. In the following video, researcher Jim Nichols presents new evidence about how our modern world is in fact the dark resurrection of a super high-tech civilization that destroyed itself many thousands of years ago through unrestrained weapons science and occult corruption.

That theory is well in keeping with the idea that something other than man built many of the ancient megalithic structures found situated around the globe, and the secrets behind those structures are being held close to the chest by the global elite and secret societies of the planet. For what purpose? Do they know something? The ancient writings of that first civilization speak about the Ancient Anunnaki who were responsible for mankind’s ‘little push’ that accelerated the development of intelligent beings on Earth. Take a look at the evidence below and the links at the bottom and make your own decision. Before making any final conclusion, be sure to check out findings that are very recent in nature, and suggest mankind is approaching full disclosure of what our government’s really know. First, Russia Orders Obama: Tell World About Aliens, Or We Will, and then, President Obama Builds up to ‘Extraterrestrial Disclosure’

According to the Ancient Astronaut theory, in the distant past, before the dawn of civilizations, intelligent extraterrestrial beings tampered human DNA on Earth to create mankind as we know it.

According to numerous theories which seem ever more possible in recent years, ancient mankind was genetically manipulated in the past.

Without this genetic manipulation, which explains the abrupt rise in human intelligence and fast development, civilization as we know it would probably still not exist today. This is the missing link in the history of mankind.

According to many authors, the Ancient Anunnaki were responsible for mankind’s ‘little push’ that accelerated the development of intelligent beings on Earth.

One of the best pieces of evidence that supports the theory that mankind was genetically manipulated in the past by a species of intelligent Aliens is the blood type group Rh Negative.

Humans have four possible general blood types: A, B, AB and O; this classification is derived, according to scientists, from proteins which are found on the surface of cells which are designed to fight off bacteria and viruses in the human body.

The vast majority of humans beings on this planet have these proteins which means they are Rh positive.

But a minor group, the Rh Negative lacks these proteins. So how is this crucial difference explained scientifically? And why does it even exist?

Throughout the years, several scientific studies have searched for this answer.

Interestingly, the negative RH strain is characteristic, for example, of the British royal family, which has generated controversial theories about a possible extraterrestrial lineage.

Although this hypothesis has not been confirmed, the disturbing questions it generates floats in the air: how would we react to the fact that a small portion of the Earth’s population has a genetic code that has been altered in the distant past by highly advanced extraterrestrial beings?

Genesis 6:4 “God came into the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, and the same became mighty of old.”

From the King James Bible: “women children – men of Israel, male children of God, not children of man – Ex. 34:23.”

Ex. 34:7 states “The iniquity of the father will be unto the children unto the fourth generation.”

Experts claim there are 3 hostile Alien species visiting Earth

Misinterpreted throughout the centuries as ‘Gods’, here are three of the most hostile Aliens that according to ‘experts’ have been visiting Earth since time immemorial.

The idea that we are not the only life forms in the universe has captured the imagination and interest of not only scientists but philosophers, historians and other experts throughout the centuries.

One of the first to speak out about alien life was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and cosmological theorist Giordano Bruno.

He is remembered for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then novel Copernican model.

Bruno proposed that the stars were just distant suns surrounded by their own exoplanets and raised the possibility that these planets could even foster life of their own (a philosophical position known as cosmic pluralism).

Bruno also insisted that the universe is in fact infinite and could have no celestial body at its “center”.

---

Bruno said: “There are countless suns and countless earth’s all rotating around their suns in exactly the same way as the seven planets of our system. We see only the suns because they are the largest bodies and are luminous, but their planets remain invisible to us because they are smaller and non-luminous. The countless worlds in the universe are no worse and no less inhabited than our earth. For it is utterly unreasonable to suppose that those teeming worlds which are as magnificent as our own, perhaps more so, and which enjoy the fructifying rays of a sun just as we do, should be uninhabited and should not bear similar or even more perfect inhabitants than our earth.”

---

Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake in Rome’s Campo de’ Fiori in 1600.

However, he wasn’t the only one to have spoken out about alien life. Throughout the centuries, countless scholars have wondered whether or not there are others out there.

---

“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon.” (source)

– Dr. Brian O’Leary, Former NASA astronaut and Princeton physics professor.

---

Today, at a time when technology has allowed us to explore the universe like never before, many people are convinced that we are not alone. Not only that, but millions of people around the globe are convinced that until this day, we are being visited by beings that are not from our planet.

Advanced civilizations which are thousands of years ahead of us—technologically—who have played an extremely important role in the development of humanity throughout the centuries.

So who are these beings? Are they benign? Are they Hostile? If so, where are they?

Considering the fact that there are at LEAST hundred billion galaxies just as old as the Milky Way, and all of them have an average of 100 BILLION Suns per galaxy, most of them with planets similar to Earth orbiting them, one can say that intelligent life surely must exist somewhere.

Many authors would agree that it’s safe to say that there is at least 1 intelligent civilization per galaxy. There are at LEAST one hundred billion galaxies as the milky way. Do the math.

UFOlogists and paranormal researchers agree that throughout the years Earth has been visited, and there is ample historical evidence which supports this claim.

Confused as ‘Gods’, numerous ancient cultures around the globe indicate how ‘extremely advanced beings’ visited Earth, coming from the Stars.

3. The Anunnaki

Are the Ancient Anunnaki the missing link in our amnesic history?

If we take a look at ancient Mesopotamian history we will find evidence of the so-called Anunnaki.

The Anunnaki are believed to be the creators of Man. These mighty Gods left Earth in the distant past, saying that one day, they shall return to Earth. Curiously, if we look at ancient cultures around the globe, most of their Gods—Creator Gods—left Earth and promised to return one day.

According to later Assyrian and Babylonian myth, the Anunnaki were the children of Anu and Ki, brother and sister gods. The Anunnaki appear in the Babylonian creation myth, Enuma Elish. The Anunnaki are mentioned in The Epic of Gilgamesh when Utnapishtim tells the story of the flood. There are four primary gods: Anu, Enlil, Enki and Ninhursag.

Many researchers firmly believe that based on numerous discoveries, the Anunnaki (Sumerian: “those who came down from the heavens), a highly advanced civilization from an elusive planet in our solar system, came to Earth, landing in the Persian Gulf some 432,000 years ago. They created man as a slave race to help them mine gold. Eventually, the Anunnaki left Earth, leaving their creation behind promising to return one day.

2. The Greys

The Grey Aliens are one of the most famous alien species in the 21st century. There are two types of Grey Aliens. The Small Greys are said to possess extremely large heads, almond-shaped eyes, and small bodies. The small greys are said to be clones of the other species known as the Tall Greys. According to ufologists and researchers, their population is in fact very small which is why they have numerous clones among them.

They have almond-shaped eyes and are most commonly associated with abductions. Many ‘experts’ in ufology firmly believe mankind even has a secret pact with these beings.

They are said to come from the Constellation of Orion and the Star System Zeta Reticuli.

According to many, their population is small, and they have a great number of clones walking among them. These beings are said to behave like robots and lack souls.

According to reports, sometime during the 1950’s the government of the US made a secret pact with the Grey Aliens. We received extremely advanced alien technology for study, while they got the green light to abduct people and perform human experiments.

There are some statues in ancient Sumeria, and we can also find cave drawings in Europe and in Australia, where the heads feature a triangular shape with the big roundish eyes.

Cave paintings in the Kimberley region of Australia—believed to be thousands of years old—could be the earliest depictions of the Greys ever discovered.

According to local legends, the carvings are of ancient spirits called the Wondjina who appeared during dream time to create the landscape and influence its inhabitants, a possible connection to the Greys?

3. Reptilians

Throughout history, we have heard tales about these strange looking creatures that apparently live among us on Earth.  There are so many stories about reptilian entities both in the past and in the present as if these beings were since the beginning of time present on our planet. History talks about them and modern day sightings are becoming more and more frequent. There have been stories of beings half-human, half-reptile for centuries, but is this just the result of human imagination or is there something more about these strange beings that have conquered our History texts.

Looking back in history, we find several tales about strange creatures, which were worshiped by our ancestors. In South America, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan are some of the gods which are well, reptilian beings worshiped as gods. Quetzalcoatl is a Mesoamerican deity whose name comes from the Nahuatl language and means “feathered serpent” The worship of a feathered serpent is first known documented in Teotihuacan in the first century BCE or first century CE.

According to ufologists, they measure about 4 meters in height and are characterized as excellent warriors and have an extremely hierarchical and competitive political – military system. They also have a great psychic power and feed on negative energies like fear and hatred, thus, they are considered ” regressive ” and were considered before as “demons.”

Einstein's Theory Helps ID First Exoplanets Outside Milky Way

This New AI Program Could Speed Up the Search for Gravitational Waves

This Major Space Discovery Has Everyone Freaking Out Over Alien Life

A new groundbreaking study gives the first evidence that planets outside the solar system exist beyond the Milky Way.

 Nirit Abermann

Scientists at the University of Oklahoma (OU) for the first time ever have confirmed in a study the existence of planets beyond the Milky Way galaxy. Previously, planets have been detected only in the galaxy that contains our Solar System.

Researchers estimate more than a trillion planets could exist in the elliptical galaxy at the center of this image. 

(University of Oklahoma)

The study, published Feb. 2 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, gives the first ever recorded evidence that a massive number of extragalactic exoplanets – planets orbiting a star located outside the Milky Way – could exist beyond our home galaxy in the universe.

The incredible breakthrough was made possible using information from NASA’s Chandra X-ray space observatory which specializes in taking space-based images of the universe in X-ray light, and a planet detection technique called “microlensing” – a magnification like method capable of discovering planets at truly great distances (on the order of billions of light years).

After studying a distant *quasar galaxy (*as in one of the brightest objects in the Universe), the OU astrophysicists found evidence that there are approximately 2,000 unbound planets for every one star beyond the Milky Way.

Xinyu Dai, the OU astronomy and astrophysics professor who led the study estimates that the number of planets in the newly found galaxy, which ranged from being as massive as the Moon to Jupiter, is more than a trillion.

“We are very excited about this discovery. This is the first time anyone has discovered planets outside our galaxy,” said Dai, noting that these “small planets are the best candidate for the signature we observed in this study using the microlensing technique”. Dai also said that his team analyzed “the high frequency of the signature by modeling the data to determine the mass.”

Until now, no evidence of planets in other galaxies had ever been detected. In fact, scientists were not even sure planets existed in other galaxies prior to this study. Furthermore, the microlensing technique has only been used to detect a total of 53 planets within the Milky Way.

“This is an example of how powerful the techniques of analysis of extragalactic microlensing can be. This galaxy is located 3.8 billion light years away, and there is not the slightest chance of observing these planets directly, not even with the best telescope one can imagine in a science fiction scenario,” said OU postdoctoral researcher Eduardo Guerras. “However, we are able to study them, unveil their presence and even have an idea of their masses. This is very cool science.”

The discovery of planets beyond our galaxy is an exciting and promising breakthrough that could lead to a deeper understanding of planetary systems around other stars and the universe which we all live. Needless to say, this discovery brings the study of planets beyond our Solar System to a whole new level.
