AAN ELKAAR GEPLAKTE AARDE EN MYSTERIEUZE CONSTRUCTIES OP DE MAAN

Een bijzonder ontdekking via Google Earth doet je geloven dat de aarde bestaat uit twee verschillende helften die aan elkaar geplakt lijken te zijn. 

En de Chinezen blijven maar van alles fotograferen op de maan en daarbij komen bijzondere dingen tevoorschijn. 

Ook Tyler vsn Secureteam ontsnapte klaarblijkelijk niet aan de griep en dus het was enige tijd stil, maar nu is hij weer terug met bijzondere dingen die hij meestal krijgt opgestuurd van zijn lezers. 

Eén van de vreemde dingen die hij dit keer heeft, betreft onze aarde. Wanneer je volgens hem naar Google Earth gaat en je selecteert een bepaalde optie waarbij wolken boven het aardoppervlak zichtbaar worden, dan verschijnt er een bijzondere lijn op onze aardbol, zoals te zien op de volgende afbeelding.

Je krijgt dan een beetje de indruk dat de aarde bestaat uit twee helften en dat iemand deze aan elkaar heeft geplakt. Hoe het kan, is een raadsel en ook dat deze lijn vanaf Antarctica over Zuid Amerika naar de Noordpool loopt.

Vooralsnog is het een raadsel en ongetwijfeld goed nieuws voor mensen die denken dat de aarde plat is. 

Verder is er deze week een bijzonder opname boven water gekomen van een UFO boven Wit Rusland. Het is een soort gloeiend object, gefilmd vanuit een auto, dat laag en met hoge snelheid vliegt.

Ook hier is nog geen verklaring voor. 
 
Net zo min als er een verklaring is voor het volgende object. De opname is gemaakt door een man in Engeland die niets met UFO's heeft en zich afvraagt of hij misschien een vliegende vogel heeft gefotografeerd.

Deze foto laat de klassieke zogenaamde retro UFO zien, ook wel de klassieke vliegende schotel genoemd.

Wij hebben in een eerder artikel al beelden laten zien van een ruimteschip op de maan, gemaakt door één van de Chinese maanlanders, die ook nu een opmerkelijke foto heeft gemaakt van iets dat eigenlijk niets anders kan zijn dan een enorm ruimteschip op het maanoppervlak.

Nu zijn er meer opnames waarvan een deel hieronder te zien is. De foto's laten een heel ander beeld zien van de maan dan de normale Zwitserse gatenkaas die wij gewend zijn te zien. Het is daar allesbehalve een kale boel, want er wordt door de Chinezen van alles gefotografeerd. Wat het allemaal precies is, weten wij uiteraard niet, maar dat er iets is, zoveel lijkt intussen wel duidelijk.

Dan toch geen kans op leven bij ruimtebuurman die op slechts vier lichtjaar van de aarde ligt - HLN.be

Nieuwe planeet dicht bij aarde ontdekt met “mogelijk beste kans op leven ooit”

Op metingen zagen wetenschappers dat de ster op 24 maart vorig jaar een enorme zonnevlam produceerde, een magnetische uitbarsting. De explosie zorgde ervoor dat de ster in tien seconden tijd ongeveer duizend keer feller werd. De vlam zelf was tien keer zo groot als een grote vlam van onze zon. Daardoor werd de planeet blootgesteld aan 4000 keer meer straling dan de aarde te verduren krijgt van zonnevlammen. De planeet moet dus de volle laag hebben gekregen. “In de miljarden jaren dat de planeet bestaat, kunnen zulke vlammen de atmosfeer en oceanen hebben doen verdampen en het oppervlak hebben gesteriliseerd”, aldus de onderzoekers.

De planeet is een klein beetje groter dan de aarde en heeft ongeveer dezelfde samenstelling. Bovendien zat hij in de zogeheten leefbare zone rond de ster. Dat is een gebied rond waar misschien vloeibaar water op het oppervlak mogelijk mogelijk is. “Leefbaarheid draait om meer dan alleen op de juiste afstand van de ster staan”, concluderen de wetenschappers nu.

De studie staat in het wetenschapsblad The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

UFO ‘SHOCK proof’? Worrying images emerge of ‘US airforce alien DOGFIGHT’ above Area 51

UFO HUNTERS have revealed shocking pictures of a “three plane dogfight” above Area 51 that shows a craft that is “too small to fit a person inside” tussling with other aircraft, it has been claimed.

Strange Trail in the sky extends entire length of the Earth

Several days ago there was a really bizarre observation on Google Earth and Google Maps.

A baffling line of thousands of miles that extended from the South Pole, Antarctica to the North Pole has not only spotted on Google Earth and Google Maps but may have been spotted from the International Space Station too.

There is a lot of discussion going on what this huge line could be. The mysterious line seems to be a form of energy or a frequency that the Earth was detected from something big.

Despite some people suggest that it is a processing glitch it clearly has a physical construction.

While the online community still discusses about the strange phenomenon, a video has surfaced of a gigantic bizarre straight line soaring through the sky over the Netherlands.

The witness who submitted the footage to MrMB333 writes:

“Just to share a really strange cloud line in the sky above the Netherlands I’ve spotted on February 20, 2018.”

“Some strange straight lined cloud formation, quite wide and reaching beyond the vanishing point of my eyes.”

“The cloud line seems to be of a different kind of cloud material then the other clouds around and behind it.”

It looks like the 'giant line' on Google earth WAS real after all, the question is; what is the origin of this phenomenon, where does this come from, taking into account the observation of the giant line over the Netherlands that the cloud material seems to be artificially created.

  

Movies, TV shows, and video games have helped humanity paint a mental picture of what aliens might look like if we ever run into them, but most of the time those fictional depictions have little or no scientific backing whatsoever. Researchers searching for extraterrestrial life don’t necessarily know exactly what they’re looking for, but based on what we’ve learned about humanity’s rise there’s a handful of things nature tells us are required for advancement of a civilization. In the book “The Future of Humanity,” author Michio Kaku attempts to answer the incredibly difficult question of what aliens might look like, and this time it’s not just a guess.

Kaku consulted with exobiology experts and theorists who specialize in hypothetical alien life forms which have developed on far-off worlds much different from Earth. Using that accumulated knowledge, Kaku came up with a very basic list of criteria that any intelligence alien race would need to have in order to reach a level similar to humanity.

As the New York Post reports, the requirements that Kaku has dreamt up are essentially the same capabilities that scientists believe have allowed humans to progress in the way that we have:

1. Stereo vision – Two eyes capable of focusing on a single object are something we typically associate with predators here on Earth. Prey animals often have one eye on either side of their head which allows them to spot threats and escape quickly, but that type of ocular setup is poor when it comes to hunting. Kaku suggests that most if not all “intelligent” alien races would have originated as hunters, rather than the hunted.
2. Thumbs – Scientists have long believed that evolution which led to opposable thumbs was a huge factor in the rise of primates. A method of grasping objects allows for the making of tools which, it is thought, is one of the very earliest signs of intelligence as we know it. It makes sense that aliens would have followed a similar path.
3. Language – This one is a bit tricky because it’s incredibly non-specific. The key here isn’t just the ability to communicate with each other in the moment — many animals have species-wide methods of vocal communication that could be considered language — but also to relay information and pass it down between generations. This allows the accumulation of knowledge over long periods of time and gives new members of a species the chance to expand and “stand on the shoulders” of those who came before them.

These features obviously sound a lot like what we’re all born with, which makes perfect sense. However, within this very basic outline there’s plenty of room for variation. If aliens only need two eyes, a gripping appendage, and some kind of language in order to have caught up with humans, there’s really no telling what form their bodies have actually taken, especially on planets with chemical makeup far different from Earth.

Spin Master Releases High-Flying Motorized 'Sonic Rocket'

Neanderthal Art Dated to 65,000-years-ago in Spain

New findings from cave sites in Spain suggest that Neanderthals had nothing to envy in respect to their cognitive skills when contrasted against their close cousins, fully modern humans. It is no longer easy to argue that our direct ancestors had the edge on Neanderthals when it came to displays of mental prowess with the confirmation of extremely ancient Neanderthal cave art.   

Archaeological research across Europe has convincingly established that the ancestors of modern Europeans reached the continent around 45,000 years ago, this date not only matched fossils and tools found but also coincided with the earliest examples of cave art. Despite definitive evidence of a lengthy presence for Neanderthals across Europe cave art seemed to appear only after modern humans arrived.

In newly released studies three cave sites, La Pasiega in north-eastern Spain, Maltravieso in western Spain and Ardales in southern Spain, have produced new evidence which pushes back the date for complex art to at least 65,000 years ago. These three sites offer a number of paintings in red or black, incorporating animals, dots and geometric patterns alongside hand stencils, hand prints and engraved iconography.

“Our dating results show that [some of] the cave art at these three sites in Spain is much older than previously thought,” says team member Alistair Pike from the University of Southampton. “With an age in excess of 64,000 years it predates the earliest traces of modern humans in Europe by more than 20,000 years.

The logical conclusion is that Neanderthals are the most likely candidates for having painted the images, and although it remains possible that another sub-species was responsible for the work, such as archaic Homo sapiens, there is no clear evidence for their presence in Europe at the time.

Dirk Hoffmann, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology was able to date the art only due to the fact that the radioactive element uranium dissolves in water, but the element thorium doesn’t. When water soaks through soils into a cave uranium is carried with it and then gets trapped in mineral deposits, it then radioactively decays at a predictable rate becoming thorium. Measuring the relative amounts of uranium and thorium in minerals can reveal their ages and provide a minimum date for any paintings beneath these deposits.

A drawing of the art shows animals and other symbols around the ladder shape. It’s stiil unclear if they date to the same time or were painted later.

The three Spanish caves with paintings were found to have mineral crusts overlying the images that were at least 64,800 years old, although this is the minimum date for the art we must consider that it could be considerably older. This is without a doubt the oldest directly dates art in Europe and close in age to the oldest examples on the planet.

Results of a second study were announced to the media at the same time, researchers had determined the age of an archaeological cache at Cueva de los Aviones, a coastal cave in southeastern Spain. Among the artefacts examined were perforated sea shells, red and yellow compounds for painting along with shell containers with mixed pigments. The same Uranium-Thorium dating method was applied and revealed an incredibly early date, 115,000 years before present day. Consider that the very oldest signs of such artefacts in Africa are no older than 92,000 years in age, perhaps considerably younger.

“One wrong move, and you might remove some pigments from the wall that were there for thousands and thousands of years,” says Hoffmann, the lead author of both studies. “There’s this overwhelming feeling you get when you first get in.”

With the revelation that both Neanderthals and modern humans had an equal ability to produce rock art, as well as other discoveries showing near equality in tool use, ingenuity, ritual behaviour and genes associated with speech, some researchers are calling into question whether Neanderthals were truly a distinct species. There has long been a divide over whether Neanderthals might not properly be considered a sub-species of Homo sapiens and this new evidence supports the argument that they were an isolated subgroup of our own species. We certainly seemed to have interbred successfully with them which traditionally confirms membership of a single species.

A worker takes measurements of the stone rings inside Bruniquel Cave.

The new studies build on evidence for complex ritual artistic creations among Neanderthals previously highlighted by the discovery of a 176,000-year-old circle created from broken stalagmites deep within the Bruniquel Cave, located in France. Most scientists had already accepted that the Bruniquel Cave stone circles had been composed by local Neanderthal populations.

“According to our new data Neanderthals and modern humans shared symbolic thinking and must have been cognitively indistinguishable”, said Joao Zilhao of the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies in Barcelona, and who was involved in both studies. “On our search for the origins of language and advanced human cognition we must therefore look much farther back in time, more than half a million years ago, to the common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern humans.”

Star trails over the planned site of the Giant Magellan Telescope in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Image via Yuri Beletsky Nightscapes.

Star trails are the continuous paths created by stars, produced during long-exposure photographs, as shown on this page. In other words, the camera doesn’t track along with the stars’ apparent motion as night passes. Instead, the camera stays fixed, while, as the hours pass, the stars move. The resulting photos show the nightly movement of stars on the sky’s dome.

Star trails reflect Earth’s rotation, or spin, on its axis. The Earth rotates full circle relative to the backdrop stars in a period of about 23 hours and 56 minutes. So, as seen from Earth, all the stars go full circle and return to the same place in sky after this period of time, which astronomers call a sidereal (stellar) day.

View larger. | Star trails (plus meteor) photo taken by Guy Livesay. Thank you, Guy! If you aim your camera northward in a long-exposure photo, the star trails will be seen to track around the north celestial pole. In fact, the stars move counter-clockwise around the sky’s north pole in the course of every night.

Montauk Point lighthouse. Photo via Neeti Kumthekar.

What this means is that, if you’re standing out under the stars, you see them move across the sky as night passes. Stars rise in the east, arc across the sky and set in the west, just as the sun does.

Stars near the celestial poles produce the smallest circles while those near the celestial equator produce the largest. The stars – like the sun during the daytime – move from east to west across the sky each and every night. Each and every star moves 15 degrees westward in one hour.

Star trails are really arcs, or partial circles, whose ever-circling motions forever tabulate the great passage of time.

Sometimes you can get cool non-star effects into your shot, as Michael A. Rosinski did in this photo.

Ken Christison captured these glorious star trails around Polaris, the North Star. He wrote, “For the most common and often the most spectacular star trails, you want to locate Polaris and compose the image so it is centered horizontally and hopefully you can have a bit of foreground for reference.”

EarthSky Facebook friend Ken Christison has some wonderful photos of star trails. He said the equipment needed for making startrails is pretty simple:

First, a camera that allows manual settings so you can set your f/stop and shutter speeds, as well as ISO.

Next, a wide angle lens, the wider the better.

A good steady tripod is a must.

Some cameras will have a built in intervalometer which can be set to shoot the desirable number of frames. In some cases the intervalometer has a bit of lag between shots, which is the reason I use a separate, remote attached to the camera that holds the shutter down and when the camera is set in continuous shooting mode will shoot 100 frames in succession with very little gap.

The remote I use is a simple one that can be found on eBay and uses a couple AAA batteries that last quite a while. I just use the remote controller attached to the 10 pin connector. There is no need to use the wireless receiver in this case.

I use a shutter speed of 30 seconds, ISO of 400 to 800, and with my 14-24mm lens at 14mm, shoot it wide open at f/2.8.

Next, he said, you’re ready to capture your star trail:

Make sure the camera is level, and after focusing on a star, make sure the autofocus is turned off. Then, using the settings mentioned above, click the shutter and stay around long enough to know that the shutter is actually actuating. I normally go back in the house, set the timer on our kitchen stove for 45 minutes, and do other things while the camera does its work.

When the timer sounds, go back out and reset the remote by turning it off, waiting for the shutter to close, then reset quickly.

Finally, you’ll want to process your photo. Ken said:

This is one of the most important elements in making star trail images. The program I use is free, works well and is simple to use: http://www.startrails.de/html/software.html.

One other program that I have heard works well and is also free is StarStax: http://www.markus-enzweiler.de/software/software.html.

Thank you, Ken!

Fear robots, not aliens: Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku predicts ET contact

© Nezar Balout / AFP

Kaku made the revelations during a Reddit AMA (Ask me Anything), where intrigued users asked questions relating to artificial intelligence and extraterrestrial life. “Let me stick my neck out. I personally feel is that within this century, we will make contact with an alien civilization, by listening in on their radio communications,” Kaku stated, adding that he expects they will see us like we see forest animals.

“And what are their intentions. Are they expansive and aggressive, or peaceful. Another possibility is that they land on the White House lawn and announce their existence. But I think that is unlikely, since we would be like forest animals to them, i.e. not worth communicating with.”

Kaku doubled down on this theory in another response, musing that humans will probably be seen as insignificant to alien society. At the core of their peaceful approach is knowledge, according to Kaku, who believes the extraterrestrials have had thousands of years to resolve sectarian, fundamentalist, nationalist questions.

The physicist admitted, however, that this neutral stance could shift if “we get in the way.” “They still might be dangerous if they simply don’t care about us and we get in the way. In War of the Worlds, the aliens did not hate us. We were simply in the way.”

“But for the most part, I think they will be peaceful, but view us like we view forest animals,” he concluded.

In contrast, Kaku suggested that robots will need chips implanted in their brains to control any “murderous thoughts.”Envisaging their future development, the scientist predicts that their intelligence level will go from that of a bug to a level on par with that of a monkey. “By that point they might become dangerous and even replace humans, near the end of the century. So I think we should put a chip in their brain to shut them off if they have murderous thoughts.”

Ultimately, humans may have to accept their fate and merge with their robot overlords, according to Kaku. “But what happens centuries from now, when robots evade even our most sophisticated fail-safe system?? At that point, I think we should merge with them."

“This may sound strange to some people, but remember that it is the people of the far future (not us) who will decide how far they want to modify themselves to deal with super smart robots.”

The dangers of AI and the grim possibility of a future with ‘killer robots’ have been addressed by several industry experts, including Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. Musk was among more than a hundred tech leaders to call on the United Nations to ban the use of lethal autonomous weapons, or ‘killer robots, last year. The SpaceX and Tesla CEO believes AI is a “fundamental threat to human civilization.”

World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking holds similar fears about the future of AI, warning that one day robots could entirely edge out human beings and become a new life form.

Today's Top Space Headline: "Communicating With Aliens" --Clues from Earth's 7,000 Languages (WATCH Video)

Alien Invasion: What Would Aliens REALLY Want With The Earth?

Let’s put aside the questions as to whether or not we’ve been visited by aliens. Let’s ask a better question: Why would aliens visit us at all? Is there anything about Earth that makes us prone to an alien invasion?

An Alien Invasion has Occurred, But For What Reason?

While there’s plenty of talk of human-alien hybridization programs & plans to take over our government and make us slaves, do these ideas make any sense? I mean, if a far advanced alien race came here with the intent of making us slaves, they wouldn’t need to infiltrate our government to do so. They’d just… do it. They would just do it because they’re so advanced relative to us. So let’s explore the possibilities…

The Most Unlikely Scenarios for an Alien Invasion

The first 2 scenarios really have good reasons why they’re unlikely. While they’re popular with hardcore alien enthusiasts, many of which believe these things are happening now or have in the past, a step back to reality doesn’t support these ideas. The likely scenarios are much more insidious and dire for humans in the event of a true alien invasion.

#1 Gold Mining

Gold is a very rare metal. For thousands of years, humans have mined it. We work for it. We kill for it. Aliens want gold too.

The idea is a cornerstone for Ancient Alien theorists. They believe that aliens came to the earth in ancient times to mine gold. In their desire for gold, they genetically modified ancient apes to make them more intelligent. The theory states that modern-day humans, us, are those genetically modified apes. Aliens designed us to have love and desire for gold so that we would mine it for them by our own ‘choice’.

The Argument for an Alien Gold Mining Operation

Truth be told, there isn’t much evidence in support of this theory. Everyone who reads this blog knows my stance on the Ancient Alien religion. It’s undeniable that humans have a love and obsession with gold. We also have a love and obsession with lots of pretty stones and shiny metals that aren’t gold.

The Reality – Gold isn’t THAT Rare

While gold is a rare metal by certain standards, there’s no reason to think Earth has more gold than other rocky planets. Gold can only be created during a supernova and any planets forming in the resulting cloud of heavy elements will have some gold on them. So does it really make sense that aliens would travel here specifically for gold? Probably not. The fact of the matter is that from the perspective of an interstellar species, gold isn’t that rare or hard to find.

Alien technology would be so great, they wouldn’t need human ‘slaves’ to mine gold for them. They’d have machines that can do it much faster. Additionally, there’s no reason why they would choose an inhabited planet to mine when there are so many uninhabited ones out there. If they did choose to mine an inhabited planet such as the Earth, they’d probably wipe out all life first so that they wouldn’t have to deal with all the ankle biting from the pesky humans.

#2 Hybridization for Their Dying Species

Another popular theory by alien-believers is that aliens are running a hybridization program. The theory postulates aliens are a dying species, abducting humans, and taking DNA to merge with their own in order to strengthen their own biology. Many people believe it’s already happening.

The Arguments for an Alien Hybridization Program

The proponents of the theory point to cases of alien abduction & cattle mutilations as evidence. Sightings of cryptids, such as the Chupacabra, are cited as examples of alien hybridization having gone wrong.

Additionally, many female abductees describe being artificially inseminated and forced to carry fetuses only to be abducted later and having it removed. Male abductees frequently describe having semen extracted from them by their alien abductors. Some folks claim to have had sexual encounters with extraterrestrials.

The Reality – You Don’t Need Much DNA for Hybridization

By far, the weakest part of the entire theory is that a little DNA goes a long way. A single human carries enough DNA information to hybridize an entire generation of extraterrestrials. Aside from the fact that many abduction cases can be dismissed as instances of sleep paralysis, continued abductions for 50+ years would be unnecessary.

It’s also worth noting that a species capable of interstellar travel would have learned how to genetically modify themselves without the need for samples from a relatively primordial species such as ourselves.

The Most Likely Scenarios for an Alien Invasion

This set of scenarios for an alien invasion take into account what science knows about intelligent life and how it behaves. Of course, we only have ourselves to look at, but you work with what you’ve got right? These scenarios which come from real scientists are much more disturbing than some of the fantasy stories tossed around by the ancient alien and conspiracy crowds.

#1 Their Own Earth-like Planet was Destroyed

What if aliens weren’t very different from us? What if they came from a planet just like ours in a neighboring solar system? Maybe their planet died or became uninhabitable, and the entire species took the skies looking for a new place to call home.

Woah, This One is Crazy to Think About

As a skeptic, this scenario for an alien invasion is mind blowing because it could actually happen. No planet lives forever. Our own Earth has gone through several mass extinction events and there’s no reason to think other planets would be any different.

We’d likely be powerless to stop it, and if our own history of exploration is any indication, it wouldn’t turn out very well for us humans. Think about what happened to the Native Americans when Europeans discovered the New World…

#2 Natural Resources that Support Carbon-Based Life

If there’s one thing more rare in the universe than gold and diamonds, it’s life. At least, life as we know it – carbon-based life. Life with all its associated proteins & fats is likely the rarest thing in the cosmos. We know this because we’ve looked around and not found it anywhere else.

Earth’s Natural Resources Would be a Figurative Goldmine

While it rains diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn, the compounds necessary to support carbon-based life are much rarer. Earth’s trees, plants, animals, & humans might be so rare in the universe that aliens could invade in order to use these sources of energy.

The rarity of life in the universe makes the Earth a prime candidate for aliens wishing to create a planetary zoo or to rule us. They could also potentially farm the life on Earth for food much as humans currently do.

#3 Dominance

It could simply be that a space-faring race may come to the earth simply to rule the population. Remember Superman 2? Political and social power can be addictive and satisfying to intelligent beings. The desire to rule may even be a common trait of all intelligent species.

The Desire to Rule Depends on the Aliens

The culture of the aliens who happen to find us really determines the likelihood of this scenario. By all counts, it’s a true alien invasion of the type only seen in movies and cinema. The takeover could be quick and violent, or it could be slow and shadowy. Proponents say it’s already happening. They point to reports of reptilian aliens infiltrating our government and big corporations as evidence.

#4 They Might Be Looking for a Planetary Zoo

Zoos are pretty cool. Maybe aliens think so too? Perhaps aliens wouldn’t actually invade the earth as much as keeping it ‘caged up’ for observation.

Another Very Possible Alien Invasion Scenario

Like the previous example, the planetary zoo is very possible. What’s really crazy? It might already be happening and we aren’t even aware of it.

#5 Food – Humans? Yummy!

There isn’t a single animal on this planet that humans won’t eat. We’ll eat anything except other humans (and there are even exceptions to that as well). Aliens might be the same way, especially if carbon-based life turns out to be a compatible food for their biology.

The Scariest Scenario of All: Humans = Cattle

Based our own behavior towards other animals, this scenario is highly likely. Perhaps, it’s the most likely of all. And it’s utterly terrifying. With advanced intelligence and technology, humans would be raised as cattle scarcely aware of our true purpose. We might live out our lives without so much as a hint of our grisly ends at the hands of our alien farmers.

Other Reasons?

We can only guess at the motives of our potential alien invaders. Perhaps the alien invasion will have nothing to do with us at all, or maybe it will have everything to do with us. Regardless, if aliens ever do come to meet us with technology millions of years ahead of us, we won’t have much say in the matter anyway. And that’s the scariest part of the entire thing.

What do you think? Why would aliens invade the earth? Let us know below in the comments.

Mysterious Radio Blasts from a Distant Galaxy Draw Attention of Alien Hunters

Water may be widespread on the moon after all – new research

© Goddard Space Flight Center / NASA

The new evidence contradicts previous research suggesting water was confined to certain areas and depended on lunar days. “We find that it doesn’t matter what time of day or which latitude we look at, the signal indicating water always seems to be present,” said Joshua Bandfield, a senior research scientist with the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and lead author of a new study published in Nature Geoscience.

“The presence of water doesn’t appear to depend on the composition of the surface, and the water sticks around,” he added. It’s hoped the results will lead to a greater understanding of the origins of the moon’s water and offer insight into how it could be used as a resource.

It’s not yet clear how accessible the water supply is but if it is convenient to reach it could be used as a drinking water for future explorers or converted to use for rocket fuel, NASA said in a statement.

Earlier studies suggested that more water was detected at the moon’s polar latitudes and that the strength of the water signal waxes and wanes according to the lunar day. However, these analyses depended on remote-sensing instruments which were challenged by the mixture of reflected and emitted light. For this latest examination, Bandfield and his team created a new model to incorporate temperature information for more accurate results.

Moon pits may be ‘skylight’ to underground lunar ice – but why is that important?

Their results showed widespread and relatively immobile water indicating that it may be present primarily as hydroxyl (OH), a more reactive relative of H2O that is made of one oxygen atom and one hydrogen atom. It also suggests that any H2O present on the moon isn’t loosely attached to the surface.

“By putting some limits on how mobile the water or the OH on the surface is, we can help constrain how much water could reach the cold traps in the polar regions,” said Michael Poston, of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas.

Discussions are still continuing among researchers about what exactly these new findings reveal about the source of the moon’s water. One theory is that the water is created by the solar wind hitting the lunar surface; however, the team hasn’t ruled out the possibility that the moon itself could be the source. It is conceivable that the water could be slowly released from deep inside minerals, where it has been locked since the moon was formed, NASA stated.

“Some of these scientific problems are very, very difficult, and it’s only by drawing on multiple resources from different missions that are we able to hone in on an answer,” said NASA scientist John Keller.

It was 1945, and science fiction writer Ray Palmer was working as the editor of a popular pulp fiction magazine called Amazing Stories. A diminutive fellow with a hunchback, Palmer had suffered a near-crippling accident early in life that broke his spine, and the resulting unsuccessful surgery stunted his growth. Thus, at the age of 35, Palmer had grown to a mere four feet in height.

It was on an afternoon during the year in question that Palmer happened upon an odd letter in the office slush pile. The letter was from a man who claimed he had managed to decipher a secret, coded ancient language, of which evidence could still be discerned from modern writing. Palmer wrote back to the author, a Mr. Richard Sharp Shaver of Pennsylvania, seeking clarification on the unusual matter. This prompted a long, rambling letter from Shaver, who claimed to learn of this, and other mysteries of our world, after psychically overhearing the communications of beings living in extensive caverns below ground.

Shaver was no great writer himself, if this grandiloquent offering was any indication, though Palmer saw potential nonetheless. From it, he began to construct an outline based on Shaver’s missive, and shaped it into a decent fantasy story, which eventually saw publication under the title, “I Remember Lemuria.”

Thus, the Shaver Mystery was born.

Initially intended to be read and enjoyed only as fiction, Shaver’s weird ramblings would inspire Palmer and the publishers of Amazing Stories to continue publication of “Shaver Mystery” stories for several years, during which the readership of the magazine reportedly increased by thousands. Throughout the period which saw the publication of stories based on his odd, rambling mythos, Shaver had always maintained that his “communications” with inner-earth dwellers were real and that the stories of cavern systems inhabited by strange beings beneath the Earth were based on fact.

Following the publication of the novella “I Remember Lemuria,” Palmer professed that letters his publication recieved–usually numbering less than fifty or so each month–were now close to 50,000. Equally impressive had been that many of these fan letters detailed strange experiences, expounding on the exploits of these deep-Earth denizens Shaver claimed to have met.

Among the letters Palmer received had been the story of a woman who, claiming to have served as a medical specialist in France during the Second World War, entered the sub-basement of an old building via an elevator. A cavernous opening existed in the lowest portion of the building, and upon her discovery of the entrance to an underground realm, the woman was captured by a group of monstrous creatures. She claimed to have been held prisoner by these beings for an indefinite period, after which she was finally discovered and released by a group of benign, human-like saviors. (An apparent nod toward this story was later featured in the works of science fiction writer Harlan Ellison, who wrote in a short story titled, “The Elevator People” that, “There are five hundred buildings in the United States whose elevators go deeper than the basement.” Ellison, however, was a vocal critic of the Shaver Mystery stories and had at one time badgered Palmer about his insistence on publishing them.)

Much like the story above outlines, Shaver categorized these subterranean inhabitants into two different groups: a monstrous, evil group called Deros (meaning “detrimental robots”), and their good-natured counterparts the Teros, who were nearly identical to humans in appearance.

Palmer himself had begun to wonder about the circumstances surrounding all this insanity, and Shaver’s claims that the events related in his letters to Amazing Stories were true. His curiosity finally prompted a visit to Richard Shaver’s home in Pennsylvania. After a late-evening coffee session, Palmer was led upstairs and shown to the spare bedroom, where throughout the evening he claimed, to his astonishment, to hear five individual voices of men, women, children, and even an “old gruff man.” According to Palmer, he was terrified to hear a discussion that pertained to the dismemberment of a human woman someplace four miles away–and presumably four miles down. Discussing the experience with Shaver the following morning, the strange host claimed he had asked the “beings” to “go easy on him (Palmer),” and Palmer, finally growing in his conviction regarding the Shaver Mystery himself, was able to get a night’s sleep uninterrupted.

This would be only one of many strange stories Palmer would recount, and though Richard Shaver’s own sanity would later come into question on many occasions, the prolific interest in his visions of an inner-Earth struggle would continue, inspiring a generation of devotees and researchers that included Timothy Green Beckley, who had known Palmer personally. Of his own discovery of Richard Shaver’s visions of conflict in a subterranean world, he admits being “chilled to the bone,” by the stories as a young reader, saying it was “stuff that nightmares were made of, and I was intrigued just as Ray Palmer had been.”

Palmer’s convictions about Shaver’s ideas would come and go over the years. After leaving Amazing Stories, the former editor was still under contractual obligations that prevented him from launching a competing publication. He did, however, do so anyway under a pseudonym, which led to the appearance of FATE, a magazine which, at the time, was mostly devoted to the burgeoning interest in flying saucers that followed pilot Kenneth Arnold’s observation of a group of objects over Mount Rainier, Washington in 1947.

Initially, Palmer had been convinced that the appearance of flying saucers might prove to be a vindication for Shaver’s claims, supposing that the seemingly advanced aircraft might actually belong to the subterranean dwellers discussed in his stories. With the founding of FATE, Palmer hoped in part to be able to get to the bottom of the saucer mystery, but after a few years, he left the operation which continued under the publication of his partner, Curtis Fuller.

Ultimately, what was Palmer to make of Shaver and his stories? Like many, it seemed by the 1970s that he had become disillusioned with Shaver and his claims, even noting in 1971 that during periods Shaver claimed to have lived underground amidst the warring factions of Deros and Teros, that he had instead been hospitalized in a mental institution.

The stories, of course, were purely imaginary, supplemented perhaps by the ramblings of a once disturbed mind; but in their heyday, the stories of Richard Shaver saw a kind of success and popularity that was nearly unrivaled in the science fiction genre.

UFO Fleet Caught On Video Moving Underneath a Passenger Jet

Online community on UFOs has been debating about the video showing an inexplicable fleet of UFOs recorded on video from a plane. The footage was initially sent to US-based Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which keeps a global database of UFO sightings, for investigations and it went viral after several UFO and conspiracy theory websites shared it.

The video was allegedly shot above Taiwan. It shows apparent eight bright circular orbs flying slowly just beneath the plane. According to the report from an unnamed witness, they were on the aeroplane of Eva Airlines from Vancouver, Canada to Taipei, Taiwan when they saw bright lights flying underneath. They saw around eight UFOs flying under the plane.

They managed to get a slow-motion video of the UFOs until they were asked to shut down their camera as part of a landing policy.

Many online viewers of the video thought it was a fleet of UFOs moving beneath the plane.

The video was recorded in October 2014, but only recently it has been shared online.

Sceptics believe those are just reflections of small lakes as the plane appears to travel over mountains. Some even say that they are only ships in the sea as they are not moving and not above the clouds. Others suggest they are oil rigs as the plane is leaving them behind, which means they are either slower or stationary.

However, many firmly believe that those are evidence of UFOs.

Le phénomène extraterrestre et OVNI selon le scientifique Jacques Vallée…

…Une supercherie organisée par les gouvernements et par un système de contrôle “interdimensionel”

Voici quelques citations des livres du Dr. Jacques Vallée, docteur et expert dans plusieurs disciplines dont l’astrophysique, l’informatique et les mathématiques.  Un scientifique qui s’est intéressé à l’ufologie tout au long de sa carrière professionnelle et qui, comme d’autres hommes de science, arrive à la conclusion que le phénomène “extraterrestre” fait partie d’un système de contrôle “interdimensionel” organisé en une hiérarchie d’entités spirituelles (qui s’approche de celui décrit dans Éphésiens 6:12) qui, par la psyché humaine ou l’inconscient collectif, manipulent l’humanité.

Comme plusieurs chercheurs et auteurs, il ne croit pas que ces entités sont “nos frères de lumière” et qu’elles vont nous envoyer un Messie Sauveur, mais il affirme que ces êtres surnaturels s’apparentent plutôt à des esprits démoniaques qui n’ont que pour seul objectif de tromper l’humanité.  Vallée conclut que l’intrusion “extraterrestre” (interdimensionelle) est sinistre et prédatrice, que les “messagers” ou “contactés” sont tous manipulés et trompés.

Selon Vallée et d’autres scientifiques dont John Keel, J. Allen Hynek et le psychiatre Carl Jung,  le phénomène ovni n’est pas d’origine extraterrestre, mais « il apparaît plutôt commeun effet interdimentionnel qui manipule les réalités physiques hors de notre propre continuum espace-temps », et plus loin il écrit, « mon hypothèse est qu’il existe un niveau de contrôle de la société qui fonctionne comme un régulateur de l’évolution de l’homme, et que le phénomène ovni doit être considéré sur ce plan » (extraits de «Autres Dimensions, Chronique des contacts avec un autre monde »).

Jacques Vallée croit que les théories physiques et cosmologiques actuelles n’arrivent pas à expliquer l’action d’un tel système.  Il croit que les ovnis sont une réalité physique possédant une masse, une inertie, un volume, et des paramètres physiques mesurables, mais qu’ils agissent dans des dimensions inconnues de notre propre environnement.

Selon Jacques Vallée, le phénomène “extraterrestre” est entretenu telle une supercherie par nos élites parce qu’il a une profonde et décisive influence sur nos croyances et nos orientations spirituelles.  Il croit que l’humanité est volontairement trompée de la façon suivante :

1°) la négation officielle qui s’exerce par une pression sur les témoins pour les décourager de témoigner;

2°) dès qu’un témoin parvient à expliquer ce qu’il a vu, il y a fabrication par les autorités, de toute une panoplie d’explications fantaisistes n’ayant aucun rapport avec le phénomène;

3°) le phénomène ovni contient un mécanisme pour s’expliquer lui-même. Il induit dans l’esprit des témoins une fausse interprétation de lui-même, pour nier, en quelque sorte, son existence. Il ne chercherait donc pas le contact, mais tenterait plutôt d’exercer un contrôle sur l’humanité.

Le Dr Vallée en est venu à penser au cours de ses recherches échelonnées sur de nombreuses années, que les ovnis ne devaient pas être d’origine extraterrestre mais plutôt provenir d’une autre dimension, dimension identifiée par lui comme étant celle ou vivent les êtres que l’on trouve dans tous les folklores.  Il écrit dans son livreConfrontations: A Scientist’s Search for Alien Contact :  “J’ai indiqué dans le Collège Invisible (groupe informel de scientifiques, précurseur de la Royal Society) que la structure des histoires d’enlèvements était identique à celle des rituels d’initiation occulte. Plusieurs années auparavant, j’avais déjà montré dans [le livre] “Visa pour la Magonie” que les contact avec les extraterrestres n’était qu’une extension moderne de la vieille tradition du contact avec une conscience non humaine prenant la forme d’anges, de démons, d’elfes et de Sylphes”.

Vallée reconnaît la réalité physique des ovnis, qu’il s’agit de phénomènes naturels inconnus, voire impliquant une autre dimension, mais il lui accole aussi une dimension sociologique obscure. Après avoir travaillé quelques années pour des institutions gouvernementales (NASA et pour le “Projet Blue Book”), il croit qu’il y a manipulation gouvernementale en ce qui concerne les ovnis, l’existence extraterrestre et tout ce qui entoure la divulgation d’une vie extraterrestre (“Disclosure project”).  Selon Vallée, les gouvernements poursuivent des études psycho-sociologiques qui visent à expérimenter le contrôle de la psyché des foules (l’inconscient collectif).  Il qualifie les chercheurs actuels, particulièrement ceux du CUFOS et du MUFON, comme des “amateurs diligents”!

Voici la transcription d’une entrevue avec Jacques Vallée:

http://rr0.org/time/1/9/9/3/Vallee_HereticsAmongHeretics/…

Il me semble de plus en plus évident que la Bible pourrait nous révéler que la “grande apostasie” (perte de la foi) qui doit se produire à la “Fin des temps” sera causée par l’arrivée de ceux que l’on appelle les “extraterrestres”, et de l’Antéchrist, d’où la “puissance d’égarement”….

LA GRANDE TROMPERIE DE SATAN !

Aliens et OVNIs

http://pleinsfeux.org/la-grande-tromperie-de-satan/#.UfW_…

…

* Je me dissocie de la vue “prétribulationniste” du texte “La Grande tromperie de Satan”, cette théologie étant à mon avis biaisée.  Toutefois, elle ne change en rien l’exhortation à la prudence et au discernement.  Les croyants (la bonne semence) ne peuvent être “enlevés” (moissonnés) avant les habitants de la terre (l’ivraie) puisqu’il est écrit:

Les serviteurs lui disent : Alors, veux-tu que nous allions arracher l’ivraie ? Non, dit le maître : en arrachant l’ivraie, vous pourriez aussi déraciner le blé. Laissez-les pousser ensemble jusqu’à la moisson, et à ce moment-là je dirai aux moissonneurs : Ramassez d’abord l’ivraie, faites-en des bottes pour la brûler ; ensuite, ramassez le blé et mettez-le dans mon grenier.  Matthieu 13: 24-30

Explique-nous la parabole de l’ivraie dans le champ.  Il [Jésus] leur répond : “Celui qui sème le bon grain, c’est le Fils de l’homme; le champ, c’est le monde; le bon grain, ce sont ceux qui suivent ma Parole; l’ivraie, ce sont les méchants; l’ennemi qui l’a semée, c’est le diable; la moisson, c’est la fin du monde; les moissonneurs, ce sont les anges. A la fin du monde, ce sera la même chose: comme à la moisson on arrache d’abord l’ivraie pour la brûler, le Fils de l’homme enverra ses anges; ils ramasseront, pour les renvoyer dehors, tous ceux qui font le mal […] Alors les justes brilleront comme le soleil dans le Royaume de Dieu leur Père. Entendez bien, si vous avez des oreilles !   Matthieu 13: 36-43

Russen verbaasd over magische lichtzuilen aan nachtelijke hemel - HLN.be

Bron: VRT, Instagram

Inwoners van de Russische stad deelden op sociale media verschillende foto’s van lichtzuilen die er de nachtelijke hemel kleurden. Het spektakel duurde ongeveer een halfuur. Sommige internauten vermoedden dat het om noorderlicht ging, maar daar had de lichtshow niets mee te maken. De zuilen ontstaan wanneer licht gereflecteerd wordt op in de lucht zwevende ijskristallen. Als dat gebeurt door zonlicht spreken we van zonnezuilen. In Sint-Petersburg lagen kunstmatige lichtbronnen aan de basis. Ofwel: lichtvervuiling met een magisch kantje.

Strange Blue Rays of Light in the Sky over Hawaii

A very rare light pillar was captured on the night of February 13/14, 2018 by the Gemini skycam facing south from the top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Frankie Lucena who was checking the skycam came across this rarely seen event in this part of the world.

Blue Ray of Light Hawaii.

Light pillars usually occur in cold climates, so to see them this far south is indeed very rare. But not only the strange light pillar appeared over Hawaii, even stranger are the three blue rays of light that suddenly came out of nowhere.

The rare light pillar in Hawaii could be a natural phenomenon, like the amazing light pillar at sunrise photographed by our reader from Coventry in the UK on February 14, 2018. Thanks.

Light Pillar UK.

But what about the blue rays of light?

Blue Ray of Light and Light Pillar Hawaii.

Lightning, maybe but these blue rays of light are completely different from the specific lightning strikes as we know.

Mars wist bijna alle sporen van de Phoenix-lander uit

Caroline Kraaijvanger

Alleen de lander, zijn hitteschild en parachutes getuigen nog van de landing die bijna 10 jaar geleden plaatsvond.

De Phoenix-lander zette in mei 2008 voet op Mars. En dat zorgde voor behoorlijk wat beroering op de stoffige planeet. Dat blijkt onder meer uit onderstaande foto die de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter twee maanden na de landing van Phoenix maakte. De donkere vlekken zijn plaatsen waar de landende Phoenix stof heeft weggeslingerd. De lander zelf zie je linksboven, rechtsonder zijn de parachutes en het hitteschild van de lander neergekomen.

Inmiddels is het bijna tien jaar geleden dat Phoenix geland is en zijn de sporen die deze op Mars naliet, eigenlijk allemaal verdwenen, zo blijkt uit een nieuwe foto, opnieuw gemaakt door de Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (zie hieronder). De plekken waar stof was weggeslingerd, zijn opnieuw met stof bedekt. En eigenlijk getuigen alleen de lander, zijn hitteschild en parachutes nog van de spannende missie die zich hier een decennium geleden voltrok.

 Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Univ. of Arizona.

Phoenix landde op misschien wel één van de spannendste plekken op Mars: de noordpool. Hoewel de rode planeet vandaag de dag koud en droog is, bevinden zich op de noordpool net onder het oppervlak behoorlijke hoeveelheden waterijs. Phoenix kreeg de opdracht om dat ijs op te zoeken. En dat lukte. Eind juli 2008 maakte NASA bekend dat de lander water had ontdekt in de Marsgrond. Een primeur. Want hoewel orbiters de aanwezigheid van dit water al suggereerden, was Phoenix de eerste die het water daadwerkelijk aanraakte.

De missie van Phoenix zou oorspronkelijk drie maanden duren, maar werd na afloop verlengd. Uiteindelijk zou de lander in totaal vijf maanden actief zijn op Mars. Langer kon deze door zonne-energie aangedreven lander het niet uithouden: hij was niet ontworpen om de donkere arctische winter te overleven.

Scientist Warns; Mankind Must Prepare To Defend Itself Against An Attack From Space

According to a Russian scientist, our civilization has to prepare to repel an attack from space.

No, we won’t be fighting aliens yet, but potential alien civilizations aren’t the only threat to humanity.

According to Konstantin Sivkov, a member of the Russian Missile and Artillery Academy and a senior captain of the Russian Army, we need to create weapons to defend Earth against doomsday asteroids.

According to a military officer from Russia, mankind must develop a weapon capable of repelling potentially dangerous asteroids and comets, in order to save mankind.

In an article published by the newspaper VPK News, the Russian senior captain has suggested that the international community needs to work on a weapon that has the ability to repel potentially dangerous celestial bodies.

The scientist believes that the threat represented by asteroids for humanity deserves the creation of an international weapon to combat them.

“In the face of the danger of the extinction of the human being as a biological species, all our geopolitical conflicts are like a children’s fight in a sandbox over a toy,” he compared.

Konstantin Sivkov, a member of the Russian Missile and Artillery Academy suggests international conflicts are incomparable to a threat from outer space.

The expert proposes to destroy asteroids with rockets that have self-guided thermonuclear warheads and to create “a system of regular or omnidirectional control of the space that surrounds the Earth” for the detection of dangerous asteroids.

Furthermore, Sivkov has stated that the proposed system has to be controlled by a “scientific council”, while businessmen, politicians, soldiers and “representatives of any military structure” that produce “cannibalistic theories about the reasonable reduction of the population” do not have to be involved in the decision-making process in this regard.

Humanity must work together and help create a defense system to protect our planet and ensure our existence.

The expert believes that the project that he has recently proposed is, in fact, a possible goal, since despite the high costs of the project “only 25-30% of the current US military budget would be needed”.

Considering that US military expenditures for the fiscal year 2018 constitute, according to the approval of the Trump Administration, 700,000 million dollars, the initiative of Sivkov would come out to the international community much cheaper: just about 210,000 million dollars.

Taking into consideration that several countries would participate in the program, the project turns out to be relatively cheap. But then again, who can put a price on the survival of the human race?

Researchers Make Discovery Of Biblical Proportions After Unearthing 2,700-Year-Old Seal

Researchers believe they may have found the direct evidence of the Prophet Isaiah on a 2,700-year-old clay seal discovered in Jerusalem, which bears the signature of the ‘Biblical Figure.’

According to researchers, the Hebrew script located on the clay seal reads: ‘Belonging to Isaiah the prophet,’ according to a new article in Biblical Archeology Review.

If this is indeed true, it would be the first ever evidence of the existence of Isaiah outside of the Bible. Furthermore, this would be the oldest reference to the prophet outside the Bible.

If researchers are able to confirm that the seal impression was for the Prophet Isaiah, it ‘would be the first archaeological and the earliest extra-biblical reference to the prophet Isaiah ever discovered,’ Robert Cargill, an archaeologist, and professor of classic and religious studies at the University of Iowa told Live Science.

In the article, titled ‘Is This the Prophet Isaiah’s Signature?’ author, archaeologist and professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem Eilat Mazar suggests that the ancient Hebrew inscription appearing in the damaged clay seal of 1.2 centimeters could have read “Belonging to the prophet Isaiah.”

‘We appear to have discovered a seal impression, which may have belonged to the prophet Isaiah, in a scientific, archaeological excavation,’ said Mazar.

A Great discovery, open to interpretation?

If the interpretation of the characters of the 2,700-year seal is correct, it would be the first reference to Isaiah outside of the Bible. The Hebrew prophet is described as a counselor to the Jewish king Hezekiah, who ruled between the late eighth century and the early seventh century BC.

This important piece of history was recovered by archaeologists during excavations at the Ophel, an archaeological site between the ‘City of David’ and the ‘Temple Mount’.

The Hebrew Bible tells us that Isaiah’s call to prophecy roughly coincides with the beginning of the westward expansion of the Assyrian empire. According to the Torah, the Prophet Isaiah lived 700 years before Christ.

The name of Isaiah (‘Yesha’yahu’ in Hebrew) is visible on the seal. However, the damage to the seal means that archaeologists are not sure whether it refers to the biblical prophet Isaiah or another person with the same name that lived during that period.

As noted by Mazar, the clay seal, or bullae, was one of the 34 discovered during the excavations carried out by Mazar at the base of the south wall of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The seals, or bullae, were recovered in small Iron Age waste pits (1200-586 B.C.), outside the wall of what Mazar describes as a royal bakery, razed during the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 B.C.

Mazar further noted that the word ‘nvy’ was also visible on the seal, but archaeologists are uncertain as to what meaning the word may bear, suggesting that it could be a personal named making reference to another Isaiah, and not the prophet.

My Precious—Ancient Ring That Inspired Tolkien’s The Hobbit Found In The U.K.

The ring that inspired Tolkien in writing the trilogy of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’, exists and has behind its steps a mysterious story full of curses dating from Roman times.

During the Rule of the Roman Empire over Britain, elite citizens of the time flaunted their status by wearing peculiar rings.

Now, after looking at a set of Brancaster rings, which scientists have dated to the fourth and fifth centuries, researchers have found numerous clues about their owners, who lived during the last days of Roman rule over Britain.

As noted by the University of Newcastle, a Brancaster ring is a type of signet ring with a characteristic square or rectangular bezel, inscribed with characters or text. The rings are named after the Roman Fort and Norfolk village where the first example was discovered in the mid-19^th century.

Experts discovered that the metal used in their construction, just as the images imprinted on them give off numerous details about their owners, who were members of high society in Britain.

One of the rings, in particular, the cursed Silvianus Ring is believed to have been the source and inspired J.R.R. Tolkien as he was writing the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The so-called Silvanius ring was discovered near Silchester, in Hampshire, England, in 1785. The Ring belonged to a member of a Roman high society called Silvianus but was stolen by a person named Senicianus, upon whom Silvianus called down a curse: ‘To the god Nodens: Silvianus has lost his ring and promises half its value to Nodens. Among those named Senecianus, let none enjoy health until he brings it back to the temple of Nodens.’

In a recent archaeological mission, experts from the universities of Oxford and Newcastle have gathered 54 rings that exist in the United Kingdom and cataloged them all for the first time. Most of the 54 rings were made from silver and only a small number of gold.

In addition to being used as jewelry, the rings were used in ancient times with wax to seal letters and other important documents.

The various rings are unique, mostly made of precious metal and engraved with different designs. Some bare the symbol of soldiers, lovers, and even emperors.

However, some rings feature evidence of incredible Roman Art, as experts have discovered that some rings have intricate designs such as dolphins and mythical sea creatures, as well as sea griffins which have been found frequently in Roman Art.

Speaking about the Rings, Dr. James Gerrard, senior lecturer in Roman archaeology at Newcastle, said: ‘The fifth century was a period of major upheaval and marked the start of the transition from Roman Empire to Anglo Saxon Britain. These rings and their inscriptions provide a glimpse of what Britain was like during these years and give an insight into the dress, beliefs, ideologies and education level of the elite at the time.

Neanderthals were artists just like humans, and even understood symbolism

BY MIHAI ANDREI 

As early as 64,000 years ago, Neanderthals in today’s Spain were creating impressive cave paintings, showing that they were just as artistic and creative as humans.

The ladder shape composed of red horizontal and vertical lines (center left) dates to older than 64,000 years and was made by Neanderthals.

Essentially human

Neanderthals, our closest biological relatives, were extremely similar to us. They shared common behaviors, common characteristics, and even common territory to early humans. They were also much more sophisticated than most people give them credit for.

But they might have also shared something else with our ancestors, something which we consider fundamentally human: our ability to understand symbolism.

“The emergence of symbolic material culture represents a fundamental threshold in the evolution of humankind. It is one of the main pillars of what makes us human”, says Dirk Hoffmann of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. “Artefacts whose functional value lies not so much in their practical but rather in their symbolic use are proxies for fundamental aspects of human cognition as we know it.”

A team of researchers from the UK, Germany, Spain, and France analyzed carbonate samples from three cave sites in Spain: La Pasiega (north-eastern Spain), Maltravieso (western Spain) and Ardales (south-western Spain).

All three caves contain spectacular red or black cave paintings depicting animals, dots and geometric signs, as well as hand stencils, handprints and engravings.

These aren’t necessarily new findings, but for the first time, researchers have been able to prove that they must have been made by Neanderthals, since they were the only ones around when the cave paintings were made.

Three hand stencils (center right, center topm and top left). One has been dated to at least 66,000 years ago and must have been made by a Neanderthal.

The team used a dating technique that isn’t commonly employed in anthropology: Uranium-Thorium dating. This dating technique relies on analyzing the isotopic content of the two elements and dating the sample by calculating the decay of Uranium 234 into Thorium 230. The technique is widely used to date calcium carbonate materials such as stalactites or corals, but was only recently implemented to anthropology thanks to technological advancements. Radiocarbon technique, which is currently much more common, isn’t able to date back far enough.

The team dated the paintings to 64,000 years ago — 20,000 years before humans modern humans arrived in Europe. This means that Neanderthals were the artists behind the paintings.

“Our dating results show that the cave art at these three sites in Spain is much older than previously thought”, says team member Alistair Pike from the University of Southampton. “With an age in excess of 64,000 years it predates the earliest traces of modern humans in Europe by more than 20,000 years. The cave art must thus have been created by Neanderthals.”

“Dating cave art accurately and precisely, but without destroying it, has so far been difficult to accomplish”, adds Hoffmann. “Thanks to recent technical developments we can now obtain a minimum age for cave art using Uranium-Thorium (U-Th) dating of carbonate crusts overlying the pigments.”

Artistic thinking

This is the first time any evidence of a Neanderthal cave painting has been found — until now, this artform had been considered human and human alone. There has been some evidence that Neanderthals used body ornamentation around 40,000 to 45,000 years ago, but some researchers believed that they learned the idea from humans, a theory which was almost impossible to disprove. The only way to clearly show that Neanderthals came up with the idea on their own was to date their work to before they met humans — and that’s exactly what this study does.

Perforated shells have also bee found in cave sediments, dating to between 115,000 and 120,000 years.

Joint lead author Dr. Chris Standish, an archaeologist at the University of Southampton, said:

“This is an incredibly exciting discovery which suggests Neanderthals were much more sophisticated than is popularly believed.

“Our results show that the paintings we dated are, by far, the oldest known cave art in the world, and were created at least 20,000 years before modern humans arrived in Europe from Africa – therefore they must have been painted by Neanderthals.”

Neanderthals also dyed and decorated marine shells. Perforated shells were found in sediments in Cueva de los Aviones and date to between 115,000 and 120,000 years, indicating that their artistic practices can be traced even further back.

It’s also significant that this is not a one-off accident — paintings were found in three caves 700 km apart, indicating a long-standing tradition passed on from generation to generation. It’s quite possible that many other similar works of art still exist, but we just haven’t found them yet.

“This is certainly just the beginning of a new chapter in the study of ice age rock art”, says Gerd-Christian Weniger of the Foundation Neanderthal Museum Mettmann, one of the leaders of the Ardales excavations.

It’s intriguing to think about it, but this is convincing evidence that humans and Neanderthals shared the same artistic sense and the same ability for symbolic thinking. Neanderthals weren’t the brutes they’re often portrayed as — they were thinkers and artists just like our ancestors.

But this also raises an even more exciting possibility: since both humans and Neanderthals shared creative abilities, it’s possible that they both inherited them from a common ancestor. If this is the case, we might have to look even further — much further — down in history to find where these abilities first appeared.

“According to our new data Neanderthals and modern humans shared symbolic thinking and must have been cognitively indistinguishable”, concludes Joao Zilhao, team member from the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies in Barcelona and involved in both studies. “On our search for the origins of language and advanced human cognition we must therefore look much farther back in time, more than half a million years ago, to the common ancestor of Neanderthals and modern humans.”

The paper, U-Th dating of carbonate crusts reveals Neandertal origin of Iberian cave art, is due for publication in Science on Friday, 23 February 2018. DOI: 10.1126/science.aap7778.

New study links ancient cave drawings and the origin of language

BY TIBI PUIU

Humans first emerged 200,000 years ago but didn’t figure out how to use language until 100,000 years ago, scholars think. Now, an intriguing new study suggests that cave drawings had an important role to play in the evolution of language by familiarizing our ancestors with symbolism.

The Chauvet Cave paintings, dated at 30,000 to 28,000 BC, were once thought to be the oldest cave drawings. Here, we can find more than 1,000 paintings depicting lions or mammoths of unmatched sophistication.

Our species has had a knack for art from its humble beginnings. To this day, you can still find ancient cave art on virtually every continent except Antarctica. In some places, like South Africa, there are over a million drawings made inside caves. Drawing such as those found on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, where there are 35,400-year-old depictions of a babirusa, or pig-deer, once common in these valleys. The spectacular lions and rhinos of Chauvet Cave, in southeastern France, are commonly thought to be around 30,000 to 32,000 years old, and mammoth-ivory figurines found in Germany correspond to roughly the same time.

Writing in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, researchers from MIT argue that places Chauvet or Sulawesi acted like hotspots for language generation by offering the perfect environment to translate acoustics into drawings.

“Our research suggests that the cognitive mechanisms necessary for the development of cave and rock art are likely to be analogous to those employed in the expression of the symbolic thinking required for language,” says Cora Lesure, a linguist at MIT and one of the study’s authors.

Sound + pictures = language

Lesure and colleagues that the brain uses the same cognitive functions to transfer acoustic sounds to pictures as language. Linguists often frustratingly say that language doesn’t fossilize but it can leave artifacts — cave drawings, for instance. And in this context, our early ancestors used cave drawings less as means of artistic expression, as Picasso or van Gogh would, but rather more as a means of communication.

“Cave art was part of the package deal in terms of how homo sapiens came to have this very high-level cognitive processing,” says Miyagawa, a professor of linguistics at MIT. “You have this very concrete cognitive process that converts an acoustic signal into some mental representation and externalizes it as a visual.”

“I think it’s very clear that these artists were talking to one another,” Miyagawa says. “It’s a communal effort.”

In some caves, 90 percent of the drawings involve hoofed animals which could have been used to replicate the sound of hoofbeats. Many such drawings were found to be made in chambers where echoes and reverberation create sounds similar to hoof beats. On the other hand, drawings of felines, dots, and handprints were etched in quiet cave chambers. Such drawings could have been part of stories or rituals — scenarios that display properties of language like “action, objects, and modification.” Miyagawa suggests that “acoustically based cave art must have had a hand in forming our cognitive symbolic mind.”

[ALSO SEE] Oldest known words are 15,000 years old

At this point, this is still speculative work but what Miyagawa or Lesure are doing is starting a discussion with potentially huge ramification. The MIT linguists hope to inspire more work and further scrutiny of the syntax etched on the walls of ancient caves around the world. Hidden in these drawings are stories that reveal content that might one day lead us to the origins of language. In this respect, the holy grail would be finding cave art older than 100,000 years.

US air force jets ‘battle mystery UFO in dogfight' over skies above Area 51 military base

UFO SEEKERS/GOOGLE MAPS

MYSTERY: Two USAF jets were filmed near another unidentified craft over Area 51

UFO seekers spotted the fighter planes 'hurtling towards the triangular object' above a desert area in Nevada

By Jeff Farrell

This is the mysterious moment two US air force jets are seen "dogfighting" with an unknown craft in an area where there are believed to be UFOs.

The fighter planes are seen zipping through the sky in an apparent routine training mission over the top secret military base Area 51 in a desert area in Lincoln County, Nevada.

UFO seekers Tim Doyle and Tracey Su camped out some 12 miles away to snap pictures and videos of activity over its skies and didn't see anything unusual when the military aircraft soared above.

But when they later combed through their photos they spotted the third craft which they described as a "triangular" object which appeared to be battling the US fighter jets.

Their sighting piles more weight on the countless conspiracy theories that the top secret base is a hub of interactions between earthly beings and aliens.

The site is at the centre of the so-called Roswell incident where US scientists are believed to have examined aliens who apparently crash landed their flying disc into a ranch in an area in New Mexico.

Tim and Tracey camped out just outside Area 51 and filmed and snapped the comings and goings and activity in the sky there.

"Welcome to area 51," said Tim in one of his videos. "We're in front of the most mysterious and secretive military installation in the entire world.

"We're just here to look for lights in the sky," said Tim, "and if they're here we're going to find them."

A narrator on the video, by YouTubeChannel thirdphaseofmoon , says: "These guys are taking a lot of risk bringing this information to you and we're sharing the evidence."

The pair filmed hours of footage over several days including the US fighter jets zipping through the sky, but didn't see it as unusual.

"When we got home and started reviewing the pictures we noticed a third object" in the sky, said Tim.

"What in the world is this? It's looks like some kind of triangular unmanned drone, because it's definitely too small to have a person inside of it.

"And after looking at the pictures it definitely looks like the crafts are interacting with each other. It's like a three-plane dogfight."

Tim and Tracey's remarkable footage on YouTube has already been seized upon by conspiracy theorists that it is proof there is UFO activity in Area 51.

Chuku Marrero posted: "I know they are real they are with us ... Nevada is the centre."

Lori Roberson1 wrote: "Ufo's been round for so many years."

The US government has never revealed the purpose of the site in a remote area in the desert in Nevada.

The CIA only admitted for the first time in 2005 that the military base, which is north-west of Las Vegas, even existed.

“Het is slechts het begin van een nieuwe ontdekking, en ik denk dat we zeker vijf jaar werk zullen hebben op de begraafplaats”, vertelde minister van Antiquiteiten Khaled al-Enany aan de verslaggevers op de plaats van de ontdekking.

De opgravingswerken begonnen in 2017, en onder meer teams uit München, Hildesheim en Egypte werkten in het gebied. “De ontdekking is belangrijk omdat ze verschillende aspecten van het leven van de oude Egyptenaren blootlegt”, zei al-Enany.

Egypte heeft de afgelopen maanden al een aantal ontdekkingen aangekondigd, waaronder verschillende graftombes in de zuidelijke stad Luxor. Het land probeert zijn toerisme weer aan te zwengelen, dat traditioneel een belangrijke bron van inkomsten is.

By Jennifer Smith For Dailymail.com

A bright, white UFO has been spotted over a remote part of northern Norway.

The aircraft was seen by stunned onlookers in Bardufoss on Thursday afternoon. A short while later, it was seen again in 80 miles away in Tromsø. 

It lingered until after sunset then exploded neatly into two parts before disappearing into dust, according to witnesses. 

Perplexed locals shared photographs and videos of the structure as it hovered above them near the town of Tromsø on Thursday night. 

Tarquin Millington-Drake of Frontier Travels told DailyMail.com how he witnessed the spectacle. 

'We thought it was a chopper coming towards us - a very bright light which came over the mountain and headed toward us - then it turned and went past us. 

Scroll down for video 

The bright shining light appeared suddenly above Bardufoss in Norway on Thursday afternoon as stunned onlookers watched. Above is the view of it from Wolf Lodge where a group of tourists mistook it for a chopper 

The stunning object appeared suddenly then 'turned' and went back over the valley as the group watched on in disbelief

Tarquin Millington-Drake watched from the Wolf Lodge (above) and said the light slowed dramatically as it eased away from them

Witnesses described how the object faded into 'dust' as it disappeared from view 

'Then it seemed to explode but the explosion was very uniform and symmetrical like two butterfly explosions either side of the light. 

'It then seemed to turn and go away but no longer as one bright light - just bright dust that faded,' he said. 

Mr. Millington-Drake watched it from the Wolf Lodge, a remote hideaway in Bardufoss where guests have up-close experiences with wolves. 

He and other guests were gathered around a fire outside waiting for the northern lights when the UFO appeared. 

Stunning photographs from the lodge show the group watching, stunned, as the UFO hovered above them, far outshining the stars. 

'We assumed it was some special event laid on but the luxury Wolf Lodge but when our hosts starting taking photos it became clear that was not the case. 

'It veered away from coming directly from us and just went across the valley. 

'By now we were all watching intently and then suddenly it seemed to explode with those butterfly shaped wings.

A video taken at the same site after dark captured the object as it faded, as described, from a bright light into what looked like dust

The sightings were in northeast Norway on Thursday 

'It slowed dramatically, now the bright light was more subdued and the light from the explosion joined to form an amoeba-like circle of light which then seemed to turn away from us and then slowly faded totally. 

'It seems nobody in Bardufoss knows what it was. 

'There is a big military base there but still no definitive theories from anyone.' 

So far the only explanation for the sighting is that it could have been Paz, a radar imaging satellite which was launched on Thursday from Elon Musk's Falcon 9.

Musk's Tesla launched it on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Defence. The  }will orbit earth 15 times a day for five-and-a-half years taking photographs. 

It was launched in California on Thursday along with two Musk's StarLink, two prototype satellites whose later versions will beam broadband internet anywhere in the world. 

SpaceX, Musk's company which launched them, did not respond to DailyMail.com's requests for comment about the Norway sighting on Friday.

Cet Ovni a été observé également  un peu plus tard à 80 miles à Tromsø.

Il a persisté jusqu’au coucher du soleil puis a explosé soigneusement en deux parties avant de disparaître comme de la  poussière, selon des témoins.

Les habitants perplexes ont partagé des photos et des vidéos de la structure pendant qu’elle planait au-dessus d’eux près de la ville de Tromsø jeudi soir.

Tarquin Millington-Drake de Frontier Travels a raconté à DailyMail.com comment il a été témoin du spectacle.

« Nous pensions que c’était un hélicoptère qui venait vers nous – une lumière très brillante qui passait par-dessus la montagne et se dirigeait vers nous – puis elle tourna et passa devant nous. »

Tarquin Millington-Drake a regardé de Wolf Lodge (ci-dessus) et a dit que la lumière a ralenti de façon spectaculaire, puis s’est  éloignée d’eux !

Des témoins ont décrit comment l’objet s’est évanoui en «poussière» alors qu’il disparaissait de leur vue.

« Alors il a semblé exploser mais l’explosion était très uniforme et symétrique comme deux explosions en forme de papillons de chaque côté de la lumière. »

« Il a ensuite semblé se retourner et s’en aller, mais non pas comme une seule lumière brillante – juste de la poussière brillante qui a disparu », a-t-il dit.

Lui et d’autres invités étaient rassemblés autour d’un feu à l’extérieur attendant les aurores boréales quand l’ovni est apparu. »

Is this the US Air Force's secret 4,600mph spy plane? Mystery 'hypersonic aircraft' is captured in Google Earth images of a Florida airbase, claims conspiracy theorist

• US Air Force is believed to be developing a spy plane that travels at 4,600mph
• Secretive hypersonic plane is being developed by defence firm Lockheed Martin
• Google Earth images show an object that looks similar to the artist's impression
• Pictures were taken by UFO conspiracy theorists from SectureTeam10
• Many have dismissed the latest footage, saying it just shows a high speed boat

By Phoebe Weston For Mailonlin

The US Air Force is understood to be developing a spy plane that travels at more than 4,600mph (7,400km/h).

Now, a conspiracy theorist claims he has spotted an image of the mystery craft on Google Earth's view of Florida.  

The satellite image appears to show an object similar to the artist's impression of the secretive hypersonic plane being developed by defence firm Lockheed Martin. 

It comes a day after Lockheed Martin's secretive Skunk Works unit said it had already finished making the radical hypersonic update of the long-retired Mach 3 SR-71 Blackbird spy plane.

Images from Google Earth show an object that looks similar to the artist's impression of the secretive hypersonic plane being developed by defence firm Lockheed Martin

The Google satellite images were compiled in a video by Tyler Glockner, known for uploading images of UFO sightings to his YouTube channel Secureteam10.

Whoever created the craft has a 'main foothold in designing aircraft engines that are widely used in civilian and military aviation', Mr Glockner claimed.

'What you're seeing is a very secretive object... I haven't been able to work out what it is', he said.

More than 400,000 people viewed the video which shows a series of screen shots from Google Earth.

'It is no public aircraft that has been disclosed', Mr Glockner claimed.

'You can see that this thing looks like a hypersonic aircraft or spacecraft'.

The shape is similar to the SR-72 hypersonic plane - which is set to be a strike and reconnaissance aircraft that tops Mach 6, writes Daily Star. 

The strange footage was captured by Tyler Glockner, known for uploading images of UFO sightings to his YouTube channel secureteam10

US Air Force is understood to be developing a spy plane that travels at speeds of 4,600mph (7,400kmh) (artist's impression) and new footage could give a glimpse of the new craft

The shape is similar to the SR-72 hypersonic plane (pictured) - which is set to be a strike and reconnaissance aircraft that tops Mach 6

The defence firm Lockheed Martin firm has been working on the project since the early 2000s. 

However, many people were skeptical of the claims, with many saying the footage showed a high speed boat.

'It honestly looks like one of those racing jet boats', wrote YouTube user 'Kody Read'.

'It looks like a powerboat I live next to the ocean seen this shape before and it is next to swamp land and water', wrote another user 'Jamie Lynn'.

One user, called 'Leo Pokat' said it was a 'UPO - unimaginable parked object'.

Earlier this week reports suggested the radical hypersonic update of the long-retired Mach 3 SR-71 Blackbird spy plane might have already been finished.  

Jack O'Banion, Vice President of Strategy and Customer Requirements, Advanced Development Programs for Lockheed Martin, let slip at a conference the unmanned aircraft has already been made. 

More than 400,000 people viewed the video which shows a series of screen shots from Google Earth of the strange object

SectureTeam10 is one of the most viewed YouTube channels, with over 785,000 people subscribing to its conspiracy videos. Pictured is their latest Google Earth footage

The footage was taken from Palm Beach County Florida. Lots of people were sceptical of the claims, which many saying the footage showed a high speed boat

Speaking at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics SciTech Forum, he showed a slide of a digital mockup of the craft, and said 'Without the digital transformation, the aircraft you see there could not have been made.'

Mr O'Banion also said the aircraft will have a 'digital twin' that knows every part on the aircraft. 

'Talking about speed, you're talking about hypersonics, aircraft that operate above Mach 5,' he said.

White Settlers Buried the Truth About the Midwest’s Mysterious Mound Cities

Pioneers and early archaeologists credited distant civilizations, not Native Americans, with building these sophisticated complexes

WE JUST BEAMED A SIGNAL AT SPACE ALIENS. WAS THAT A BAD IDEA?

In a valley eight miles southeast of the Norwegian city of Tromsø, a radar antenna has just transmitted a short bit of radio programming to potential alien listeners: some specially composed electronic music and a tutorial about geometry and the use of binary numbers.

This isn’t the usual approach to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). Ordinarily, scientists engaged in SETI use such antennas with the hope of hearing a signal that would have been broadcast tens, hundreds, or even thousands of years ago. So far, no dice. But at least SETI offers the chance of short-term success. It’s like a slot machine that’s been stubbornly ungenerous despite having been fed a ton of quarters. There’s always a chance the next coin will trigger a jackpot. SETI could succeed before tomorrow.

That’s not true with the Tromsø transmission. It’s an example of active SETI, or what some scientists call METI (for messaging to extraterrestrial intelligence). The idea is simple: Send a signal that would alert aliens we’re here, and listen for a reply.

Obviously, patience is required. The Tromsø broadcast was beamed to one of the nearest star systems believed to have an Earth-like planet. The target, GJ 273, or more familiarly Luyten’s Star, is a runty red dwarf located 12 light-years from our solar system. Since radio waves travel at the speed of light, we’ll have to wait more than two decades before looking for a reply.

Despite the lack of immediate gratification, Doug Vakoch, founder of the San Francisco-based nonprofit METI International, has argued that if we really intend to prove that humans have cosmic company, we need to step up to the plate and take the initiative. He envisions the Tromsø transmission as a first step down a yellow brick road that eventually leads to signaling thousands or millions of star systems.

Trying to find aliens by pinging only one star system is a long shot. But although the broadcast from Norway is unlikely to provoke a response by any Luytenians, you can be sure it will provoke plenty of Earthlings.

That’s because METI is controversial. To begin with, what do you say to someone you’ve never met, and who’s a member of a different species? This has been batted about at more than a few conferences, and much of the conversation centers on whether we should show our bad side. Do we tell aliens that we engage in war, threaten our environment, and chow down on other critters? Personally, I don’t get too exercised about these discussions. Such concerns — while of great importance to us — are likely to be mere curiosities to the aliens.

But the aspect of METI that really inflames people (including some in the SETI community and even celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking) is the possibility that sending signals skyward may expose us to an existential danger. Suppose Luytenians do exist, and they’re unfriendly. If we tip our hand with a broadcast — no matter what its content — they might respond with a fleet of interstellar missiles to take us out. Bummer.

Frankly, it’s hard to think of any credible reason why aliens would do this. But why take the chance? My answer is twofold. To begin with, we’ve been broadcasting into space with high-powered transmitters (radar and TV) for more than a half-century now. Sure, those signals aren’t easy to detect out there in space — at least for someone with our level of technology. But for a society a century or two ahead of us, it would be trivial. And if the aliens are not at least that advanced, they simply won’t have those interstellar missiles.

So that’s point one, and it’s a doozy. Our hand has already been tipped.

But there’s something else, often lost in the discussion. Limiting strong transmissions skyward will straitjacket our descendants, not just in their efforts to do active SETI but for many other projects that might require beamed radio signals. If we want to map the outer regions of our solar system (to locate errant comets), we’ll need to use radars that are much more powerful than the ones we have today. If we envision having interstellar probes, signaling will be needed to keep in touch.

Let’s face it, it’s impossible to know what our great-great-grandchildren will find interesting or worthwhile to do. But telling them to never, ever aim a transmitter skyward is akin to telling them to never colonize Mars because, after all, there may be some indigenous microbes under the soil and it’s their planet.

Personally, I hope the Luytenians get in touch.

Dr. Seth Shostak is a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California.

Apollo 15 Video Shows Sound In Space, But Sound In A Vacuum Is Impossible!!! UFO Sighting News Video.

Date of sighting: Feb 2018
Location of sighing: Earths Moon
Mission: Apollo 15

When Streetcap1 finds something, you can bet your life that its got some juicy meat to it. He found an Apollo 15 mission video with audio that lets you hear the astronaut hammering! Thats impossible in the vacuum of space! Awesome find by Streetcap1. I've known him for over 5 years and can vouch for him. 
Scott C. Waring-Taiwan

Streetcap1 states:

This is from Apollo 15 NASA footage. If you did Physics at school or college you will know that sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Yet we can hear the Astronaut's Hammer Strokes in this clip. Space is a vacuum = No Air. Quote ' In Space no-one can hear you scream.' All Astronaut communication is through headset radio. Vibrations cannot travel through the vacuum even to the astronaut's radio, so the hammer strokes should be silent, yet we can hear them! Conclusion: Either there is Air on the Moon or NASA faked the Apollo 15 program. SC1.

Airliners And F-15s Involved In Bizarre Encounter With Mystery Aircraft Over Oregon

The FAA, the USAF, and air traffic control recordings all confirm the bizarre event did indeed occur last October.

EDIT (April 2013): The FBI have recently published a blog post confirming that they never investigated the claims made in the now-famous Hottel memo. The FBI also made it clear that the memo is not related to the Roswell incident of 1947 in any way, the document relates to a completely seperate incident which remains unexplained to this day.

Additionally, recent attention has been drawn to the FBI document which confirms that a UFO exploded above Utah (see video below). Dr. Bruce Maccabee has studied the FBI files extensively and concludes that there is an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race, … and just in time for Sirius and CHOD (Citizen’s Hearing On Disclosure).

There’s been a whole lot of buzz going on in the UFO and alien community over the past few years with UFO sightings and public interest increasing tenfold over the past ten years. First the UK’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) decided to carry out a phased release of their official UFO documents leading up to 2012, NSA then made their files public and accessible online and now the FBI have started releasing their documents too.

FBI Documents – UFO’s & Aliens

Although there’s some interesting information there, controversy has arisen particularly in relation to a document written by FBI special agent Guy Hottel in 1950 who claimed to have received information from a US Air Force investigator about a UFO found in New Mexico. The document claims that three bodies about three feet tall, dressed in a very fine metallic cloth and bandaged up in a way similar to the method that test pilots use were recovered from the crash.

Whilst many people are claiming that this document proves the existence of extraterrestrial life and it IS an official FBI document it has been suggested (decades ago) by Bruce Maccabee that the document could also relate to a hoax originally perpetrated by Silas Newton. Officially there is no explanation for the document and the FBI have placed it under the perhaps appropriate subcategory Unexplained Phenomenon (See edit at beginning of article).

However, the document was actually presented as evidence to Dr Steven Greer for the purpose of the Disclosure Project, a non-profit organization that has collected over 120 hours of witness testimony from government and military officials, astronauts, pilots, etc who have all confirmed their will to testify under oath before congress that what they are saying about the UFO phenomena is the truth.

* See the official explanation by Sergeant First Class Clifford Stone, for the Guy Hottel memo, in the column to the right.

One document contained within the FBI files provides a detailed illustration of a flying disc which is, rather coincidentally, identical to the several discs that can be seen on the Youtube video of NASA’s infamous tether overload incident. The disc even had the triangular notch in it – after NASA told us that the anomalies on the video footage were most likely ice or dust particles. When this excuse didn’t fly too well they claimed they were camera anomalies – NASA gave two different conflicting explanations.

Alien UFO SightingsALIENS DID IT!!

{http://alien-ufo-sightings.com/}

Finding the Arks of Noah and the Covenant are still on many bucket lists but you may soon be able to cross off “evidence of the existence of Isaiah.”

“We appear to have discovered a seal impression, which may have belonged to the prophet Isaiah, in a scientific, archaeological excavation.”

In a statement in the Biblical Archaeology Review (with photos), archaeologist Dr. Eilat Mazar announced that she and her team of researchers found a portion of a 2,700-year-old stamped clay seal at what was once the location of a royal bakery near the Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem. No, there’s no mention of the bakery in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament, but there’s plenty about Isaiah – an entire book bearing his name and believed by scholars to have been written by one person, most likely named Isaiah, who is regarded by both Jews and Christians as one of the leading religious prophets.

The Temple Mount

However, like today, there were probably a lot of Isaiahs around. The biblical Isaiah was noted for counseling and aiding King Hezekiah in his quest to protect the Kingdom of Judah from an Assyrian invasion during the 8th century BCE. That link plays an important part in determining if this seal belonged to the prophet Isaiah, according to Dr. Mazar.

“We found the eighth-century B.C.E. seal mark that may have been made by the prophet Isaiah himself only 10 feet away from where we earlier discovered the highly-publicized bulla of King Hezekiah of Judah.”

That bulla or clay seal was also discovered by Mazar in 2015. It’s close proximity to the seal of Hezekiah might have sealed the identity of the new seal … if it were whole and undamaged. Unfortunately, there’s some missing pieces to the seal and the story. While it definitely has an inscription that reads
l’Yesha’yah[u] (Belonging to Isaiah), the next line has some characters missing.

“Because the bulla has been slightly damaged at the end of the word nvy, it is not known if it originally ended with the Hebrew letter aleph, which would have resulted in the Hebrew word for ‘prophet’ and would have definitively identified the seal as the signature of the prophet Isaiah.”

Dr. Eilat Mazar

While Dr. Mazar feels pretty strongly that close counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and biblical seals, others aren’t so sure. The Times of Israel reports Israeli epigrapher (one who studies inscriptions) Dr. Haggai Misgav thinks that the seal would have been tied to a “sack of goods” that was not important enough to carry a notation that the owner was a prophet.

“But as always there is no shortage of those who jump on the finds with cries of, ‘Hurray, we have proven the Bible.’”

Perhaps he would believe the seal’s authenticity if it was on a sack of bagels and challah from the royal bakery.

UFOs Shoot Past NASA Satellite Observing Our Sun, Feb 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Feb 18, 2018
Location of sighting: Earths sun

Found by Streetcap1 of Youtube, these UFOs shot past the SOHO NASA satellite that observes the sun. The UFOs are in a half disk shape and are traveling in the direction of the front of the disk. There are two of them, but because they travel so fast, it appears to be more. Cool catch.
