Muldashev: four civilizations on Earth before man

Written by Gianni Rizzo

A well-known Russian expert, Ernst Rifgatovich Muldashev, ophthalmic surgeon by profession and researcher by passion, has long been looking for traces of ancient civilizations disappeared before the mankind appeared on Earth.

Muldshev, who in 2002 published three volumes of “In Search of Cities of the Gods”, followed by numerous other volumes (among which “Where do we come from” e “Between the arms of Dracula”), is convinced that the existence of more ancient civilizations of man is confirmed by archaeological finds, rock carvings, references to airplanes and Ufos in stories and legends. According to the expert, the civilizations that inhabited the planet would have been four.

ASURAS, THE NATIVES

The Asuras, or the natives, according to Muldashev were the first race appeared on Earth 10 million years ago. They were incredibly tall beings, up to 50 meters, they had an etheric body, they lived for up to ten thousand years and used telepathy to communicate with each other. In reality they were not natives of the Earth: they moved there after the death of the Phaethon planet.

The White Aryan Race, Atlantis and Unwanted Truths

ATLANTEANS, THOSE BORN AFTER

As the millennia passed, the Asuras changed, their bodies became denser. Thus a new race would develop, the Atlanteans, i.e. “those born after”. They were slightly smaller than the Asuras, they still did not have bones, but they had a third eye, located between the eyebrows.

LEMURIANS, THE BUILDERS OF THE SPHINX

After the Atlanteans, appeared on Earth the Lemurians. Much more similar to modern humans, they possessed a bone skeleton and were differentiated according to sex. The third eye was still present, but not as well developed as the Atlanteans.

Lemurians were about 7-8 meters tall and lived about a thousand years. According to Muldashev, they were the ones who built the Sphinx, Stonehenge and many other wonderful monuments of antiquity.

BOREI, THE MOST SIMILAR TO MAN

Lastly the Borei would have appeared: this race was formed long after the other, its members were much lower, did not exceed 3-4 meters in height, their third eye was more hidden while the other organs were very similar to those of man.

What happened to all these beings? According to Muldashev, about 25-30 thousand years ago on our planet occurred a nuclear catastrophe following a conflict between Lemurians and Borei. Some of the Lemurians took refuge in the caves, where they fell into a hibernating state, the other side flew away on space ships.

ARYANS, AFTER THE FALL OF ATLANTIS

After the Lemurians left the scene, the Boers and the Atlanteans reached unprecedented development peaks, but they could not avoid the disappearance of their civilizations that would have happened about 12 thousand years ago.

According to Muldashev a fifth race would have developed just before the disappearance of Atlantis, whose myth survived so far: the "aryan" race. The ancestors of modern man did not have a third eye and that's why our society would be developing more slowly.

Will it be true, or as official science says it's just about fantastic theories without any concrete proof? The experts have spoken, but this does not interest the readers of Muldashev.

Einstein Was Right! Scientists Confirm General Relativity Works With Distant Galaxy

Scientist invents technology to see multidimensional beings

Daniel Nemes  scientist and inventor, originally from Spain but residing in Colombia, since he was 14 years old he became interested in astronomy and science. He was a member of the astronomical group of Madrid, Spain.

He says that the project started when he read an article in a magazine about the Dark Matter of the universe and the multidimensional universe momentarily interested him and called attention so he had the initiative to perform mathematical calculations and optical experiments to be able to capture images of ” the beyond”.

He discovered a method of capturing far superior to infrared, ultraviolet, black light, video camera with TV without antenna, etc. And that method I call ENERGIVISION . I use special lenses, ultrasensitive screens of his invention and above all sunlight. The images that he captures are of unknown origin. He explains that his theory is that they are images of other planes. However he says he has not traveled to other places to expose the invention. He has tried to make known to the scientific community and only answered a scientific body of the USA and in a rude way. The media have ignored and silenced the discovery along with the images captured.

Daniel Nemes says: “The only way I have to publicize my invention and the captures are by Facebook, since 2015 I have posted 1000 photos on my facebook. When I started to publish my images on my social network I had a lot of rejection, it was very hard and even insults towards me, fortunately my images are now more known and when I post on my facebook or in other groups it is rare to receive a disqualification or insult ” .

Judge for yourself the following images, the note is at the discretion of each person.

Stonehenge onthult nieuw mysterie: pleegde Pythagoras plagiaat? -  HLN.be

Jolien Meremans 

Bron: FOX

Het nieuwe boek “Megalith: Studies in Stone” beweert dat de geometrische principes van Pythagoras terug te vinden zijn in het mysterieuze Stonehenge. De wereldberoemde stenen cirkel werd 5000 jaar geleden gebouwd en staat bekend om zijn speciale positie ten opzichte van de zon. Elk jaar trekken duizenden toeristen naar de site om het eeuwenoude mysterie te bewonderen.

a² + b² = c²

Een van de auteurs van het boek, Robin Heath, beweert dat een grote driehoek van Pythagoras te zien is op de Engelse site in Wales, waarvan de bluestones zijn afgesneden. Een rechthoek van vier zandstenen vormt volgens het boek een perfecte driehoek van Pythagoras wanneer de zandstenen diagonaal in tweeën worden gedeeld.

Niet alleen de onderzoekers van Stonehenge, maar ook andere experts zeggen dat ze bewijs hebben gevonden dat de beroemde stelling al lang voor Pythagoras bestond. Vorig jaar nog onthulden wetenschappers de geheimen van een mysterieuze 3.700 jaar oude Babylonische kleitablet, waarop de oudste goniometrische tabel te lezen staat. De Griekse filosoof leefde pas in 6de en 5de eeuw voor Christus en kan dus niets met die tabel of Stonehenge te maken hebben. 

Zonsopgang

Duizenden nieuwsgierigen keken donderdag naar de zon op Stonehenge. De zon kwam op achter de Heel Stone. Die steen markeert de plaat voor zonsopgang aan de horizon. De toeschouwers stonden versteld van het fenomeen en verspreidden foto’s op sociale media, terwijl de stralen door het monument stroomden. Die stralen kondigden de langste dag van het jaar aan op het noordelijk halfrond.

Astronomen doen meest precieze test ooit van de theorie van Einstein -  HLN.be

Bron: Belga

Met het MUSE-instrument van de VLT in Chili heeft een team onder leiding van Thomas Collett van de Universiteit van Portsmouth eerst de massa van het nabije sterrenstelsel ESO 325-G004 berekend door de bewegingen van sterren in dit relatief nabije elliptische sterrenstelsel te meten.

De wetenschappers namen met de Hubble ook een Einsteinring waar die is ontstaan doordat ESO 325-G004 het licht van een ver verwijderd sterrenstelsel vervormt. Aan de hand van deze waarnemingen konden de astronomen meten hoe de enorme massa van ESO 325-G004 licht, en daarmee dus ook de ruimtetijd, afbuigt.

Einsteins algemene relativiteitstheorie voorspelt dat objecten de hen omringende ruimtetijd vervormen, waardoor passerend licht wordt afgebogen. Dit resulteert in een verschijnsel dat het zwaartekrachtlenseffect wordt genoemd. Dit effect valt alleen op bij objecten die heel veel massa hebben. Inmiddels zijn een paar honderd van die sterke zwaartekrachtlenzen bekend, maar de meeste zijn te ver weg om hun massa exact te kunnen meten. Met een afstand van ‘slechts’ 450 miljoen lichtjaar is het sterrenstelsel ESO 325-G004 een van de meest nabije gravitationele lenzen.

De onzekerheid van de test bedraagt ‘slechts’ 9 procent. Daarmee is dit de meest precieze test van de algemene relativiteitstheorie buiten de Melkweg tot nu toe, zegt Collett.

Belangrijke gevolgen

Deze bevindingen kunnen belangrijke gevolgen hebben voor alternatieve zwaartekrachtmodellen, benadrukt de ESO ook. Deze alternatieve theorieën voorspellen dat de effecten van de zwaartekracht op de kromming van ruimtetijd ‘schaalafhankelijk’ zijn. Dit betekent dat de zwaartekracht zich op extragalactische lengteschalen anders zou moeten gedragen dan op de kleinere schaal van het zonnestelsel. Collett en zijn team hebben vastgesteld dat dit waarschijnlijk niet het geval is tenzij de verschillen alleen optreden op lengteschalen van meer dan 6000 lichtjaar.

Giant crop circle appears in field next to Stonehenge just before Summer Solstice

Speculators have been left baffled what it could mean

By SWNS Michael Taylor

A giant crop circle has appeared in a field next to Stonehenge, just before the Summer Solstice.

Mysterious visitors have left their mark on the field of barley with a giant 180ft pattern - that looks like a combination lock.

Speculators have been left wondering what the meaning behind the crop formation might be.

Summer Solstice is a religious celebration among pagan circles, and every year thousands descend on the historic stone circle to herald midsummer.

Summer Solstice 2018: Pictures show Stonehenge at dawn and Somerset celebrations

Matthew Williams captured the stunning formation, near Amesbury, Wiltshire, about a mile next to the world heritage site.

Watch drone footage of the crop circle above.

The 180ft formation contains five spokes and five off-set petal-like shapes, as well as Aztec-style patterns.

The 47-year-old crop circle expert reckons it might have been created to symbolise the passage of time.

Matthew, of Avebury, said: "I think it's quite timely that it appeared in the area right before the Solstice.

"To me, it kind of looks like a combination lock - but the flowers obviously represent the passage of time and the changing of the seasons.

"It's very unusual to see offset shapes in these geometric designs, so that's why I think this is a special formation.

"Plus, it's right next to an ancient barrow - so it just adds to the history of the area."

UFO Lights Caught On Live Mt. Sakurajima Cam Similar To 2011 UFO Lights Japan

Kat Martin recorded from the Sakurajima live cam an unusual bright light near the bottom of Mt. Sakurajima on June 20, 2018.

Kat was watching the live cam at Sakurajima volcano and noticed a light source coming from the ground near the bottom of the mountain.

It grew so large it lit up the sky then shrunk back to the ground. At one point another small light source appeared above the mountain, flashing on and off. Kat said that she has never seen anything like this before.

The 2018 UFO light is similar to the mysterious UFO light that appeared on the Sakurajima Live cam in 2011. Till today they still have no explanation for the 2011 event.

Mt. Sakuranjima is well known for its mysterious UFO sightings.

20 Shocking Confessions Made By NASA Astronauts - PART I

NASA – the criminally underfunded agency that was put in place to sort of recklessly shoot people, dogs, and some monkeys off of the planet strapped to giant explosives, and into the dark reaches of the cosmos. Such a beautiful concept.

Since its inception, NASA has proven to be the very pinnacle of elite science, and as such chooses only the best samples from the human species to experience the wonders that space travel has to offer.

Seriously, is anyone else bitter that they’re not among that elite? It keeps us up at night on a regular basis.

So when NASA astronauts come out of the woodwork and make claims, revelations, and confessions they tend to be treated quite seriously. There’s a certain credibility to those claims that no-one else has.

Even if those claims include Lionel Richie suggesting on British daytime television that his good friend Buzz Lightyear (might have been Aldrin, we don’t hear so well these days) has confessed to him about extraterrestrial experiences, we sit up and listen.

Or sit up and head to the message boards.

Yep, most of these confessions are in some way related to the presence of aliens among us, but there are also some surprising revelations completely unconnected to little green men and their obsession with our human anuses.

Let’s kick off with Lionel Richie’s best friend.

20. SPACE BUREAUCRACY

Via space.com

You know how it is, you’re coming back from your vacation, you’ve been prodded and probed by the TSA, spent hours in a cramped cylinder, and then some jerk wants to check your luggage for customs purposes…and moon rocks.

That’s right, not satisfied that Buzz Aldrin was the 2nd man to step on the surface of the giant rock that hovers precariously over our heads affecting our tides and sanity, the US government had him fill out a customs form upon his return.

The forms, posted by Dance-Master Aldrin (official title) on twitter in 2015, show that he had to declare to Uncle Sam that he was returning to earth with “moon dust” and “moon rocks”. These days we’re more sophisticated, of course, and rather than declaring it to customs, people returning from vacation with rocks and dust just put them in condoms and keister them.

Aldrin got his own back, though, and put in an expenses claim for $33. Popular belief is this was for a car rental, but we’d like to think it was for tang and ladies of the night.

19. BOOT FULL OF PEE

Via nationalairandspace.si.edu

Buzz Aldrin can claim some amazing feats. Primary among them is convincing people to call him “Buzz” instead of “Edwin”. Kudos. That’s like convincing your friends to call you “Ninjashark” instead of “Norman”.

Aldrin has often boasted that while Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, he was the first to pee on it. Well now, we all assumed this was a nice, sanitary urination into some kind of colostomy bag – but with a more NASA name…cosmic pee sack?

No.

Turns out, because Armstrong’s landing was a little too good and failed to crumple the legs of the module as expected, he and Aldrin had to jump from a larger height than planned for. As a result, Aldrin’s pee tube disconnected from it’s housing and he wound up peeing in his boot.

That’s one squelchy step for a man…

18. THE GOVERNMENT IS AFRAID OF PANIC

If there’s one thing that science fiction has taught us, it’s that when faced with the possibility of extraterrestrial threat, the human race will tend to react in a unified manner. Unified, bat-crap crazy panic, possibly with a nice side of cannibalism. Hell, in real life, our species acts in that fashion when faced with the defeat of a sports team.

Gordon Cooper, former NASA astronaut and the face that UFO-philes point enthusiastically at when asked for evidence of extraterrestrial visitation, revealed that the government has been keeping aliens under wraps for this very reason.

Now, Cooper makes a lot of claims about UFOs, and if he weren’t a former astronaut, his credibility would be about as valuable as xxxxxx. But spaceman Cooper, who has also worked with the CIA, in an interview in 1995, revealed that the government cover-up we all assumed was happening (while adjusting our tin foil hats) is in fact a reality. When discussing a extraterrestrial landing that occurred in 1951, Cooper said, “I happen to know that the authorities did everything they could to keep this incident from the press and TV, just to prevent a panicky reaction.”

17. THE POPE KNOWS EVERYTHING!

Edgar Mitchell was the sixth man to walk on the moon – and no-one’s suggesting he was getting Armstrong’s sloppy seconds (more like slightly grubby sixths). Before he died in 2016, he made it something of a personal mission to out everything he could think of surrounding aliens…stuff that, once again, would sound crazy coming from anyone who hadn’t floated in a vacuum, sucking on vast quantities of artificially generated oxygen.

One of these topics of discussion revolved around one of only two men in the world who’s name can be suffixed by the word “mobile”. In an email to then-president Bill Clinton’s advisor, John Podesta, Mitchell wrote, “The Pope has knowledge of aliens out there who want to help humanity.”

Turns out he’s not talking to the same man who lives upstairs that Catholics think he is. At least these ones probably don’t mind if you use contraception.

16. UFO TRACKING IS A REAL LIFE JOB

Joseph A. Walker. Astronaut, test pilot, fierce proponent of the Stetson. Also, there exists no photo in which the man doesn’t look like a genuine badass. Go on, go look, we’ll wait.

Walker was NASA’s seventh astronaut, and was probably not the first only because they were reluctant to let him ride the rocket like a bucking bronco.

Appropriately enough, in 1962 he revealed that he had possibly the most awesome job aside from “extraterrestrial ray gun tester”: UFO spotter. During a fifty-fifty high flight in 1962 he estimated that he filmed five or six UFOs, though he refused to speculate on their nature. To date this footage has not been released to the public.

15. ARMS IN SPACE!

There are things you probably don’t really want to see when you’re floating around in the black void of space; zombies, Donald Trump, zombie Donald Trump. While it would probably be every astronaut’s dream to see an extraterrestrial craft, they likely wouldn’t want to see one with appendages reaching out from it. That crap is just terrifying to think of.

But NASA astronauts Ed White and James McDevitt revealed that in 1965, while they were drifting over Hawaii in the Gemini spacecraft, they spotted not just your standard UFO, but one that had mechanical arms sticking out from it.

McDevitt took footage of the object with a cine-camera, but once again NASA haven’t released it. Why is everyone leaking celebrity sex tapes, but no-one’s leaking any of this hardcore alien action?

14. MISSION CONTROL ASSUMES ASTRONAUTS ARE IDIOTS

We’re used to NASA, or some kind of shadowy government organization working NASA’s puppet strings, treating we mere civilians like the morons it thinks we are. That’s par for the course, no shock there. They might be right too, we made the Kardashians cultural icons, we can’t be relied upon to make intelligent observations.

But you would have thought they at the very least would treat their astronauts, the people who go through years of training to be elite space sailors, as though they might know what they’re talking about.

In 1965 Jim Lovell saw a UFO during their second orbit. When he reported it to mission control, they questioned his sighting, asking if he was actually seeing a discarded booster. Lovell advised them he could see the booster too, and somehow refrained from telling them he knew the difference between a booster and a f*$@&!g UFO.

Maybe they mistook Lovell for Forest Gump Tom Hanks instead of Apollo 13 Hanks. Rookie mistake.

13. WE DON’T KNOW WHERE ALIENS COME FROM

This one might be our fault for making assumptions. We can blame the movies too. You see, every piece of alien fiction where we go off in search of alien planets/technology/women-to-teach-how-to-make-love those in charge of the missions seem to have some idea of where the aliens call home. We’ve been safe in the knowledge that, even though they won’t admit it to us, the government knows that the aliens come from Alpha Laheugo IX or something, out there in the Crustacean system…whatever, the point is, they’ve made contact, and we know.

We don’t bloody know!

This revelation comes from our friend Edgar Mitchell, who when speaking to Britain’s Kerrang Radio said, “Have we been able to identify where the other planets are? No. Certainly not in our solar system.”

But who could blame extraterrestrials for not giving us their address? After all, would you really want earth people showing up at your planet, asking if you’ve “heard the good news”?

12. ALIENS VISIT GERMANY

Perhaps we’ve just been conditioned to think that aliens just mostly visit America. Or at least, they seem to crash there. Maybe America is just the extraterrestrial equivalent of the precarious mountain routes where drunk teenagers have drift road races. Either way, it seems that the wee green fellas like to take a trip to Germany too.

While NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper was stationed in Germany in 1953, he was apparently subjected to frequent UFO sightings. In an interview in 1988, he said he would see strange metallic saucer-shaped objects in the sky for consecutive nights, and that they certainly weren’t indigenous to earth.

See, everyone loves bratwurst.

11. ALIENS VISIT US GOVERNMENT FACILITIES

Usually the only people who willingly go to visit the government are lobbyists for the tobacco industry. Because, seriously, they don’t seem to be of much use to anyone else.

Well, except extraterrestrials.

Our pal Gordon Cooper, in a letter he wrote to the UN requesting the release of covered up information on UFOs, described how he had himself seen an extraterrestrial being just casually being brought into a government facility. You know, like every other Tuesday.

There’s no information as to exactly what the aliens are doing on government facilities, probably restocking the vending machines, or cleaning the toilets. You know, the menial jobs the government usually reserves for aliens.

10. LINES OF LIGHTS

 

There are various reasons a person might see lines of lights – a reflection in the window, migraines, LSD flashbacks. But when you see them in space, there are considerably fewer alternative explanations to an actual, straight up, real-life line of lights.

That’s what NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao said he saw when he was out on a spacewalk in 2005.

“I saw some lights that seemed to be in a line, and it was like an upside down check mark, and I saw them fly by.”

So what was it Chiao saw while out on his spacewalk? We don’t know about you, but we’ll take that check mark as a sign from the aliens that they approve of Leroy’s superior spacewalking. Nice job, Leroy.

9. THE ROCK ROBBER

We all have that dark side of us, the part that leans in close to our brain and whispers, “Hey, that sleeping person would look great with demonic horns super glued to their forehead”. Most of us don’t act on those wicked thoughts. But then there are those of us who go a little too far and convince our friend they are the actual real life devil.

Thad Roberts was the guy that went a bit too far.

In 2001 Roberts was accepted into NASA’s elite astronaut co-op program. Unlike most of the others on the program, however, Roberts was flat broke.

But he quickly made a name for himself as a rebel, a risk taker, sneaking into the space shuttle simulator for unofficial rides, and suchlike. When he saw 842 lbs of moon rocks – worth about $21m – just sitting in a laboratory safe, unused and ignored, he decided he was gonna put them to some use.

However, the buyer Roberts lined up got suspicious as to their legality and contacted the FBI, like a filthy narc. They investigated the case and promptly jailed him for 100 months.

In 2012 Roberts revealed his dual motives: love and science. He had fallen hard for a fellow program attendee, and felt that together the funds from the sale of the rocks could help them make beautiful, cutting edge science discoveries together. How sweet.

8. NASA IS OKAY WITH CRASHES

NASA has a reputation for being kinda strict about who it decides can be thrown into space at terrifying speeds. It has high standards, which you would sort of expect from an organization that routinely puts members of our idiot species at the controls of vehicles worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

One of the things you would expect to be high up on NASA’s list of potential pilot candidates is that said astronaut in no way has the potential to make the vehicle plummet to it’s doom.

Turns out, they’re kinda relaxed about that.

In a 2016 documentary about his life, Eugene Cernan revealed that NASA has no real qualms about guys who are a little free and easy with their collisions. According to Cernan, in 1971 just two weeks before Apollo 14 launched – for which Cernan was selected as backup commander – he crashed a helicopter. He figured he’d screwed up his chances, but NASA called him to express the equivalent of a “meh” – the job was still his if he wanted it.

A year later he flew to the moon, and is to date the last man to step foot on it.

7. ALIENS ARE ANTI-NUCLEAR WAR

 

With relatively few exceptions, we can agree that most of us are pretty firmly against the nuclear apocalypse, right? Sure, there are a few morons among us, perhaps with an orange tint to their skin, that have their tiny hands hovering above the button, desperate to press it at a moment’s provocation. But for the most part, we’re anti-nuclear.

Turns out, the aliens are too.

Our good friend and all-round extraterrestrial campaign cheerleader, Edgar Mitchell revealed in his email to John Podesta that the aliens are so staunchly against the threat of nuclear war, that they’ve gone so far as to actually shoot test missiles out of the sky.

At least somebody’s looking out for us. Or maybe they have a more sinister plan for us…we for one welcome our new alien overlords and their program of indentured servitude.

20 Shocking Confessions Made By NASA Astronauts - PART III

6. POLLUTION IS WORRYINGLY VISIBLE

 

Much as there are those in power that are reluctant to admit it, we are basically screwing up the planet we live on. Honestly, we’ve spent centuries looking around us, thinking – my, what a lovely rock that we’re hurtling through the cosmos clinging to the surface of, let’s see how many ways we can beat the shit out of it.

While the affects of pollution are evident in climate change, and even down to our day-to-day breathing in of toxic miasmas, it would seem that it can also be viewed from quite a distance above.

In 2016, astronaut Scott Kelly after having spent a year in space, revealed that he could see how incredibly polluted India and China were from his position peering out of a porthole in the ISS.

Scott said that there was a single day in his entire year in space that he could actually see China clearly – and it turned out that was the day the authorities turned off it’s vast collection of industrial machinery to celebrate a public holiday.

5. CARL SAGAN WAS PART OF A COVER-UP

Carl Sagan is a goddamned hero. Not your run-of-the-mill American hero, no. A superstar universal king of the bloody cosmos type hero. Who doesn’t hear that voice and think, “This guy is my own personal Jesus”?

Well, brace yourselves for a shocker. Because it would seem that Carl Sagan was part of the extraterrestrial cover-up! Gasp (cue fainting)!

Dr. Brian O’Leary, a former NASA astronaut, was invited to teach at Cornell University by none other than Carl Sagan. Which is a bit like being recruited for…no…there’s no analogy worthy of that particular honor. O’Leary worked closely with Sagan in the Planetary Science Department of Cornell.

In an interview, however, O’Leary revealed that Sagan purposefully fudged data – including the famous face on Mars to make it look less face-like – with the intention of steering the public away from the truth about extraterrestrial life.

Say it ain’t so!

However, speculation is rife that Sagan was an integral part of making contact with alien life, and released his novel “Contact” as an underhanded way of revealing the truth.

4. YOUR BRAIN SHRINKS IN SPACE

This one is less of a confession by the astronauts themselves, but by their brains. That’s right, NASA’s elite have had their brains rise up against them and make confessions to other scientists. It’s true, your brain is always conspiring against you.

Obviously it’s routine for those spending periods in space to have their bodies monitored. It’s important to know how space affects us so that we can build more effective exo-suits for the coming fight against Xenomorphs, right?

Well, in early 2017 a report was published showing that spending time in space actually physically shrinks your grey matter. The shrinkage was most prominent – between 10-15% decrease of volume – in the prefrontal and insular regions of those astronauts tested.

Which is a complex way of saying, space is conspiring against your damn brain.

3. A SPACE WAR IS COMING

We all knew it was a distinct possibility. Hell, ever since we were kids we whipped out our makeshift lightsabers and begun our training for the inevitable space opera that our future was undoubtedly going to become. Your powers are weak old man, etc., etc. But it would seem that something is definitely brewing in the dark reaches of space that we’re just not prepared for.

Edgar Mitchell – who should by now have a fanfare every time his name is mentioned – revealed in an email to Bill Clinton’s aide John Podesta that there is a “space war” imminent. That’s right, a genuine NASA astronaut has confirmed that aliens are gearing up for a throw down.

It’s unclear what form this war will take, or who is fighting it, but Mitchell warned that we are unprepared for it, and the public needs to be better informed to become part of the universal community.

One thing is certain about a war between alien species: whoever wins, we lose.

2.  SPACE TUNES

We know what space sounds like. It sounds like John Williams conducting a vast orchestra with the kind of dramatic flare that makes you pee yourself just a little bit every time you hear it. Yes?

Well, as it turns out, there really is some kind of soundtrack to space.

In May of 1969, while the Apollo 10 mission was out there in the cosmos, Gene Cernan began to hear what he described as “outer space music” in his ears. He asked fellow astronaut John Young if he could also hear the strange whistling sounds, to which Young replied that he could, and that it was really weird and “Nobody is going to believe us”.

What’s also slightly odd is that the music only occurred when the astronauts were at the far side of the moon. So, have at it conspiracy nuts – did the music come from a rave on the dark-side alien Moon base?

1. ZERO POINT ENERGY

We all hate paying our electricity bills. It sucks. When that letter comes through the door each month reminding you that you spend too many hours during peak time running Tesla coils in your garage, you let out a cry of anguish asking why haven’t the aliens freed us from this nightmare.

Dude, they’re trying.

According to Edgar Mitchell (fanfare), extraterrestrials that are benevolent in nature (sure they are) really want to give us the secret to something called Zero Point Energy – which is a cool-sounding name that doesn’t sound at all like something quantum physicists made up after an all night Star Trek binge. This is apparently a method of extracting and using free energy gleaned from empty space.

Problem is, they’re afraid of our violent tendencies and won’t give it to us unless we prove that we won’t use it for warmongering.

We could always just threaten them with nuclear weapons…oh, wait.

Northern Lights: The Canadian UFO Experience

The weather was clear, not a single cloud in the bright, blue sky. Arnold was gazing down on a high plateau when a flash of light caught his attention. For a moment he tensed... it could mean he was on a collision course with another aircraft, but the only other aircraft in sight was a distant DC-4. A second flash caught his eye and now he knew where to look. From the direction of Mount Baker in the North a formation of bright objects flying at an incredible speed was heading toward Mount Rainier.

To his surprise there were no projecting parts, like wings or tails, on the objects. At first he thought they were a squadron of jet aircraft but he had doubts. Arnold pushed up the window to see the objects better. They were flat, not quite circular. Using watch he calculated their speed to be 2000 miles per hour. The squadron passed by Mount Adams and finally disappeared over the horizon. The show was over and it lasted only three minutes.

MORE GREAT DOCUMENTARIES

FBI Confirms Aliens Exist

FBI Confirms Existence Of Extraterrestrial Life.

In a recently leaked memo, the FBI has confirmed the existence of extraterrestrial life, though the claim is now being denied by the bureau. However, despite their denial, there is still plenty of evidence that is out there that shows that aliens do in fact exist and they have visited our planet, possibly for quite some time.

The memo is from the early 1950’s and talks about a UFO being discovered by the government in New Mexico. Of course, in typical fashion the FBI has denied it, claiming it to be a fabricated hoax designed to mislead the public, but we know better now. More and more evidence is coming out that proves UFO’s exist and that we have been visited by alien lifeforms.

UFO Encounter.

A recent video from the government shows footage of fighter pilots encountering a UFO with a disk-like shape. The fact that the government would even release such footage is proof enough that there are aliens out there interacting with humans, and based on how advanced their flight technology is, they have been visiting us for quite some time.

Watch the video closely and you will notice that the disk-like object moves in a way that a normal aircraft could not, and there is no other explanation than the object being an advanced piece of alien technology that is well beyond our comprehension.

The Secret Pentagon UFO Program.

When you think about it, it makes total sense that our government has been lying to us. If the public knew about what was really going on behind closed doors with regards to alien life, we would collectively freak out. Additionally, a former top Pentagon official confirmed the existence of a top-secret government program to track UFO’s, called the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program.

The former Pentagon official, Luis Elizondo, recently spoke with CNN about the inner workings of the program and how the unidentified aircraft discovered by the program is unlike anything that has ever been seen on earth.


He went on to explain that these aircraft could seemingly defy the laws of aerodynamics and contained advanced technology. Here we have a former government worker finally telling us the truth and confirming our long-held suspicions. The Pentagon tried to hide the existence of this program, despite the fact that it received over 22 million dollars annually as part of the budget, but now we know the truth.

The American public is scared to admit that these cases continue to crop up and that the alien visitations are increasing in number and stature.

Tom DeLonge, known for his work in Blink-182, quit the band so that he could focus all of his energy on proving the aliens exist. Tom has gotten himself into deep trouble with the government, but he has overwhelming evidence that supports the fact that we have been visited by aliens. He recently went on the Joe Rogan podcast to talk about it. Tom is staking his professional career on finding evidence that aliens exist and that our government has been concealing their existence for quite some time.

CIA Releases Over 13 Million Pages Of Declassified Documents.

The CIA recently released over 13 million pages worth of previously classified documents, with many of them talking about the existence of UFO’s. How can it be a conspiracy when both the FBI and CIA talk about UFO’s and alien technology? It is clear that they are withholding even more material than what has been released. The fact that they continually reference UFO’s in these documents is yet another piece of evidence that proves aliens exist and have visited our planet recently.

Detractors who have labeled these truth seekers as conspiracy theorists will be happy to know that the declassified documents also show the existence of the CIA’s Stargate program, which attempted to use the power of psychic phenomena for use in military and espionage. For a long time, many people refused to believe the program existed, labeling it as a conspiracy theory. However, the truth will always see the light, so it was only a matter of time before these revelations became public.

The Truth About Aliens And UFO'S.

There are too many UFO and alien sightings for it just to be a misidentification or a hallucination unless of course, the chemicals the government is poisoning us with are causing us to hallucinate, which is possible. A more plausible reason is that our technology is advancing at a high rate and now aliens wish to have more contact with us. It always amazed me that so many people in this country were so quick to dismiss any UFO sightings as an optical illusion or some misidentification of an aircraft, come on.

The American public has been lied to for long enough, and now the truth is beginning to come out, and there is nothing that the government can do to stop this. We have seen an unprecedented explosion in information being released to the public in recent years, and now the information that was once inaccessible to most of the nation is available to everyone.

Extraterrestrial Life Exists.

One only has to think about the enormity of the universe to realize we are not alone, and now more and more evidence continues to come out that proves this is a fact. It really does make you think about what else the government has been hiding from us, and what other secrets will finally be revealed.

NASA To Hold Press Conference On Near-Earth Object Preparedness

NASA is gearing up to host a media teleconference about National Near-Earth Object Preparedness.

NASA had revealed they are gearing up to host a media teleconference on June 20 at 1 pm EDT that will relate the objectives of a report regarding the plans of the United States for preparing for near-Earth objects. The report gives details about plans about how NASA plans to deal with any NEOs that might prove a hazard to Earth.

No Near-Earth Objects Reported In Vicinity of Earth

At the moment there are no near-Earth objects that NASA knows about that might be considered a risk. An object is considered a risk if that object has a high risk of making an impact with Earth. According to the NASA. gov website, the report is essential in addressing what has been a nationwide response to possible risks of impact by NEOs in the future.

The report has the name of the “National Near-Earth Object Preparedness Strategy and Action Plan, ” which is straight and to the point. The report reveals actions that might help the coordination of the federal government along with preparing for near-Earth objects in the next decade, essentially addressing any potential hazards that a near-Earth object might bring with it.

Audio of the teleconference will stream live at: www.nasa.gov/...

NASA Released Names of Speakers during the Teleconference

In a press statement released by NASA, they listed those taking part in the media teleconference as:

• Planetary Defense Coordination Office, NASA Headquarters, Washington – Lindley Johnson;
• White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Washington – Aaron Miles;
• National Response Coordination Branch, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Washington – Leviticus Lewis.

NASA also stated that the teleconference is going to be live-streamed and anyone wishing to put any questions to the speakers can do so by using the #askNASA hashtag on social media.

Near-Earth Objects Have Passed by in the Past but Were Not a Threat

In the past near-Earth objects have come relatively close to Earth, but have passed by without incident or being considered a threat. More recently, a small space rock did make an impact over Southern Africa, with it being picked up by the Catalina Sky Survey, which is funded by NASA. The course of the small rock was followed, however, NASA said that it was only 2 meters so it was not a risk to Earth, it disintegrated.

In April, an asteroid between 157 to 360 feet passed by Earth at about 119,400 miles distance. NASA said that the object was about half the distance between Earth and the Moon. The asteroid was only discovered one day before its close encounter with Earth. The asteroid was bigger than the one that exploded over Russia in 1908.

On Jupiter, lightning flashes from storms swirling at the poles

The planet’s heat distribution explains why lightning doesn’t strike near the equator

BY  LEAH ROSENBAUM 

IN A FLASH  Unlike Earth lightning, which is most concentrated at the equator, Jupiter’s strikes at its poles, as shown in this artist’s rendition.

SWRI, JPL-CALTECH/NASA, JUNOCAM

When Voyager 1 revealed lightning on Jupiter in 1979, something about the flashes didn’t make sense. From a distance, it seemed like the radio waves from the massive planet’s lightning bolts didn’t reach the high frequency emitted by lightning on Earth. 

Scientists just discovered something very special about Jupiter’s lightning

But the Juno spacecraft, which has been orbiting much closer to Jupiter’s surface for the last two years, has helped solve the mystery. The radio waves emitted by the planet’s lightning are, in fact, in a similar frequency range as our lightning at home, mission scientists report in the June 6 Nature. Astronomers couldn’t detect anything but the lower frequencies, called “whistlers,” until now.

And while solving that mystery, the researchers discovered another twist: Jupiter’s lightning may have a similar frequency as Earth’s, but it is focused at the planet’s poles instead of nearer to the equator, as on Earth.

“Jupiter continues to surprise us,” says Shannon Brown, a researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and lead author of the new study. Brown says the difference in location of the lightning strikes has to do with how the two planets distribute heat. Earth receives most of its heat from the sun, and that heat is focused around the equator. Jupiter, much farther from the sun, creates most of its heat internally, leading to different convection patterns that drive lightning to the poles (SN: 3/31/18, p. 10).

Juno had been scheduled to take a mission-ending plunge into Jupiter’s atmosphere in July, but on June 6 the mission was extended for another three years — plenty of time to catch more great lightning shows(SN: 6/24/17, p. 14).

To combat an expanding universe, aliens could hoard stars

Advanced civilizations might be wise to stock up on energy sources before they’re out of reach

BY  EMILY CONOVER 

STAR CATCHER  To prepare for an eventual energy shortage caused by the accelerating expansion of the universe, an ultrapowerful alien civilization could gather stars and capture their energy using hypothetical structures known as Dyson spheres, illustrated above.

MARC WARD/SHUTTERSTOCK

Survivalists prep for disaster by stocking up on emergency food rations. Aliens, on the other hand, might hoard stars.

To offset a future cosmic energy shortage caused by the accelerating expansion of the universe, a super-advanced civilization could pluck stars from other galaxies and bring them home, theoretical astrophysicist Dan Hooper proposes June 13 at arXiv.org.

It’s a far-out idea, tackling a dilemma in a future so distant that human beings can hardly fathom it: 100 billion years from now, each neighborhood of the universe will be marooned as if on a cosmic island, with resources from the rest of the universe inaccessible. “We’ll be in this very dark, lonely place where we won’t be able to see other galaxies,” says theoretical astrophysicist Katie Mack of North Carolina State University in Raleigh. That isolation is thanks to a mysterious “dark energy” that is causing the universe to expand faster and faster (SN: 4/7/01, p. 218).

Advanced societies might be able to harness the energy of stars by surrounding them with giant, hypothetical structures called Dyson spheres (SN: 4/24/10, p. 22). But the expansion will eventually make it impossible to reach stars outside the civilization’s home turf. Aliens that possess such technology might want to maximize energy reserves by sending spaceships to retrieve stars before the cosmic isolation sets in. Each star’s energy could be captured with a Dyson sphere, and that energy would then be used to propel the star homeward.  

The study doesn’t specify exactly how a civilization might move a star, or what it would do with the energy once captured. It’s hard to speculate about beings so powerful that these extreme feats would be possible, says Hooper, of Fermilab in Batavia, Ill. “It’d be like asking a caveman to figure out how my automobile works.”

The effort would do best to focus on stars that aren’t too big or too small, Hooper calculates. Big stars live fast and die young, so during the tens of billions of years needed to transport the stars home, they would fizzle out. The least massive stars, on the other hand, wouldn’t emit enough energy to fuel their own propulsion; they wouldn’t be able to outpace the universe’s expansion.

We have no evidence that such an advanced civilization exists (SN Online: 1/3/18). But if aliens are harvesting stars, says Hooper, “this would not be a subtle activity.” Scientists might be able to spot signs of the stars being propelled across the universe. A dearth of certain types of stars in particular cosmic neighborhoods would also be a tip-off.

Theoretical astrophysicist Avi Loeb of Harvard University suggests, however, that it wouldn’t be necessary to collect stars because “nature did it for us.” Large clusters of galaxies are already richly populated with stars. Plus, because the clusters are bound together by gravity, they would remain intact as the universe expands. So rather than improving their home galaxy by collecting stars, a civilization could simply move to greener pastures. “You just need to hop from one to another,” Loeb says. (Never mind the fact that interstellar travel still evades us mere humans.)

Mack, likewise, notes that uprooting to a galaxy cluster might be easier for a civilization, but “maybe they have really strong sentimental attachments to their home galaxy.”

Either way, E.T. won’t be able to stave off the end forever. Eventually, in about 100 trillion years, stars will stop shining altogether. Gathering stars would be a way to accomplish as much as possible, Mack says, “before all the stars die out and the universe is cold and dark and empty.”

This Is NASA's New Plan to Detect and Destroy Asteroids Before They Hit Earth

Mars’ huge dust storm is not a “global” storm

 BY ALEXANDRU MICU

The dust storm battering Opportunity is now a global storm, NASA reports.

Curiosity approaching Mars in December 2012.

Mars hasn’t been enjoying the fairest weather as of late. A massive dust storm has engulfed Perserverence Valley, pinning NASA’s Opportunity rover in place; all the dust is blocking out sunlight, preventing the bot from recharging its batteries — so much so that ground control fears it might freeze out, as its dwindling power supply can’t feed the rover’s inbuilt heaters.

According to NASA, the weather is only getting worse. The dust storm has grown in size and is inching in even on the Curiosity rover, half a Mars away from the beleaguered Opportunity. The storm has officially become a “planet-encircling” or “global” dust event.

Colossal Dust Storm on Mars Now Completely Covers Red Planet

Mars Stormborn

NASA reports that dust is rapidly and steadily settling down on Curiosity. The quantity of dust settling on the rover has more than doubled over the weekend, they note. The storm’s light-blocking factor, or “tau”, has grown to over 8.0 above Gale Crater (where Curiosity is currently rovering about) — the highest value the bot has ever recorded during its mission. For context, Opportunity is experiencing 11 tau, a value high enough to prevent its instruments from making any accurate measurements.

However, NASA is confident Curiosity will remain unaffected by the grime. Unlike its cousin, it draws power from a nuclear reactor, so the lack of light isn’t really a big issue. Curiosity’s cameras are having a hard time, however, as the lack of light means it has to use long exposure times. NASA is having it point its cameras down at the ground after each use to reduce the amount of dust blowing at its lenses.

However, there’s a silver lining. Because Curiosity can keep functioning in the storm, NASA hopes to use the rover to understand the phenomenon better. One of the main questions they want to answer is why some Martian dust storms remain small and stall before a week has passed, while others grow and grow and last for months.

“We don’t have any good idea,” said Scott D. Guzewich, an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, leading Curiosity’s dust storm investigation.

Together with the craft in orbit around Mars, Curiosity will collect data on the storm to help patch up our understanding.

This animation, pieced together from pictures taken by Curiosity’s Mast Camera, shows the weather darkening over Mars. The rover is currently standing inside Gale Crater, and peeking its camera over its rim. The photos were taken over a few weeks, with the first one snapped before the storm appeared.
Image credits NASA.

The images above were taken roughly 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) away from the storm. The haze is about six to eight times thicker than what’s usual for this time of the Martian year, NASA estimates.

Dust storms on Mars are actually quite commonplace. Surprising for a dusty planet, I know. They’re especially frequent in the southern hemisphere during both spring and summer months (Mars’, not the ones on Earth). These are the months during which Mars is closest to the Sun, and the temperature imbalances in the atmosphere generate winds that mobilize dust grains (this dust is about as fine as talcum powder). Carbon dioxide ice (dry ice) embedded in the planet’s polar ice caps also evaporates during these months, making the atmosphere extra-thick — this increased pressure helps suspend dust in the air. Dust clouds have been spotted up to 60 kilometers (40 miles) high.

However, Martian dust storms don’t usually cause a ruckus. They tend to hang out in a confined area and dissipate within a week. By contrast, the current storm is bigger than North America and Russia combined, according to Guzewich. It’s even more impressive when you consider the size of Mars relative to Earth:

Mars (diameter 6790 kilometers) is only slightly more than half the size of Earth (diameter 12750 kilometers). The image shows the true relative size between the two planets.
Image credits Viking Orbiter Views of Mars, NASA SP-441, p. 14.

The size difference is one of the elements that allows Martian dust storms to grow to such immense sizes. Earth’s gravitational pull is almost double that of Mars, which helps settle the dust. Vegetation also binds the soil, preventing particles from getting airborne, and rain washes whatever gets in the atmosphere back down.

Loch Ness Monster - The Surgeon's Photo

The hot and sunny location of the encounter was in the region of where the mouth of the River Foyers and Loch Ness come together, and the time was around noon. It can be said that Gray was the perfect person to see the creature, as the company he worked for had its premises within walking distance of where the encounter occurred – which was a near-sheer bluff, with a height of about fifty feet. It overlooked the loch and was dominated by dense woods.

According to Gray, after attending a Sunday morning mass, he went for a walk – as he did every Sunday. It was a bright and sunny day, said Gray, and the loch was glistening. Suddenly, something broke the surface of Loch Ness. And it was of large proportions. Very large proportions. As luck would have it, Gray had a camera with him and managed to get a shot of the animal as it not just surfaced, but as it seemed to float almost completely on top of the water. An utterly amazed Gray stood staring at the odd spectacle until the animal submerged, amid a thrashing of its tail.

River Foyers heading to Loch Ness

Hugh Gray’s picture is, admittedly, an odd one. As a result, it has been interpreted in varying ways – sometimes wildlyinterpreted. For the skeptics, the most obvious popular answer is that the photo is an innocent, unintended double-exposure of a portion of the loch and of a dog swimming towards the camera and holding a stick in its mouth, horizontally. It’s also a theory that has been endorsed by the mainstream media – unfortunately without any real, meaningful, critical analysis. There are, however, very good reasons why it can be said that the photo clearly is not a double exposure and does not show a faithful hound returning a stick to its master.

5 Loch Ness Monsters Caught On Camera & Spotted In Real Life!

Yes, one can see what looks like the face of a dog, facing the camera – if one chooses to do so. This is, however, undeniably a case of nothing more than pareidolia. It is a recognized phenomenon that occurs when the human eye attempts to interpret random imagery in the context of something familiar and recognizable. Examples might include seeing faces in clouds, or the visage of Elvis in a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich. The Gray photo, however, is not one which has pareidolia and a swimming, playing dog at its heart. What it does have at its heart is a creature that is clearly large, curiously floating atop the water, and which lacks the long neck that so many witnesses have reported. It is, you may surmise, the oddly missing extended neck that provokes so much controversy. So, if Hugh Gray’s photo doesn’t show a dog, then what does it show? Let’s take a look.

To the left of the photo is an oddly positioned, but thick-looking, tail. That there is a degree of haziness present in the photo suggests the tail may have been thrashing violently at the time the picture was taken (which Gray suggested); something which caused water to spray into the air and make the image appear slightly out of focus and misty. Plus, it is slightly over-exposed, which only adds to the limited clarity issues. Nevertheless, we also see a fairly thick body that clearly shows a pair of small appendages on its right side. The obvious and logical presumption being that two identical appendages are on the left side too, although admittedly we cannot be one hundred percent sure, of that since the photo only shows one view of the animal.

The most important part of the photo is its extreme right-hand side. There is very little doubt that what is captured on celluloid, and for all to see, is the face of a Nessie. It very much resembles the head of a turtle, and has a distinct beak-like appearance. One can even make out what looks like a small eye and an open mouth that seems to show evidence of a tongue. Possibly most important of all, the shadow of the head can clearly be seen below it, and reflecting off the rippling waters of the loch. Then there is the matter of how high the animal is. It’s practically completely out of the water.

Loch Ness Monster authority Roland Watson has noticed and commented on this curious aspect of the Gray photo. He has suggested the monsters of Loch Ness may possess a form of in-built, internal buoyancy – something which would allow the creatures to float on the surface in the very odd fashion as described by Gray.

Ted Holiday was a dedicated seeker of Nessie who started out as a believer that the Nessies are flesh and blood animals, but who, in the early 1970s, radically changed his views. Before his mind swung over to the dark and supernatural side, Holiday was a champion of the theory that Hugh Gray had filmed a living, breathing of unknown origins and identity. He also concluded that the monster captured by Gray was somewhere between twenty and thirty feet in length.

The Hugh Gray photo continues to provoke controversy in monster-hunting circles.

Study finds reason behind the formation of strange Martian rock

A strange rocky formation on the Red Planet had puzzled scientists for decades. Scientists, uncertain about the origin of this mysterious hilly landscape better known as the Medusae Fossae Formation (MFF), regarded it as some extraterrestrial activity. However, according to a new study performed by a group of researchers, the MFF that extends up to three thousand one hundred miles across the planet’s equator, was formed some millions of years ago due to a volcanic event on the Martian surface.

The initial discovery of this peculiar rock formation, the MFF, dates back to the 1960s. The imagery of the MFF was first captured by the Mariner spacecraft of NASA. However, until now the different analysis performed in connection with the MFF failed to give any positive knowledge to the scientists about its origin.

The MFF’s scale is reportedly huge estimating near about 1/5^th of the size of the entire United States. As per the study, the MFF comprises of sedimentary deposits, which are almost hundred times larger in comparison to the biggest volcanic deposit witnessed on the Earth.

Planetary scientist Lujendra Ojha, at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said in a statement, “This is a massive deposit, not only on a Martian scale but also in terms of the solar system because we do not know of any other deposit that is like this.”

As a part of the study, the researchers analyzed a series of data received from different Mars orbiter spacecraft for estimating the density of the Medusae Fossae Formation. According to the study, the researchers noted the MFF as a “relatively porous unit” and theorized its evolution was the result of “explosive volcanic eruptions.”

Ojha explained, “The eruptions that created the deposit could have spewed massive amounts of climate-altering gases into Mars’s atmosphere and ejected enough water to cover Mars in a global ocean more than 9 centimeters (4 inches) thick.”

The findings of this new study were published in the Journal of Geophysical Research. As expected by the scientists, the inferences of this study would help them in further understanding of the Red Planet’s geology and also could yield clearer response to whether the Mars colonization could be possible.

Mars news: Mystery of 'crashed UFO' at Medusae Fossae formation SOLVED

THE mystery of a Martian rock formation thought by UFO hunters to be an alien spacecraft was finally solved by US scientists.

NASA: Here's the big plan to protect the planet from 'near-Earth objects'

Ashley May

 

This image provided by NOAA/NASA on May 31 shows the Earth’s western hemisphere. NASA recently unveiled a new plan to protect Earth from asteroids.

AP

"Near-Earth objects" are hurtling toward and NASA has a plan to make sure they don't land in your lawn. 

No, we're not talking UFOs. Near-Earth objects are comets (cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust the size of a small town) and asteroids (basically, space rocks smaller than planets) that pass within 28 miles of Earth’s orbit.

NASA Actually Helped Save The World — Here's How

Wednesday, NASA and the White House unveiled a "preparedness strategy and action plan" outlining five ways government agencies must keep them away: enhance detection and tracking, improve modeling and prediction, develop technologies for deflection, increase international cooperation, and strengthen impact emergency procedures. These changes involve a host of government agencies, including the Department of Defense and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and are meant to happen over the next 10 years, according to the document.

The plan offers short and long-term goals but doesn't offer specifics on how the goals will be achieved. Also, no additional funding was set aside for the plan; officials said the measures can be implemented using existing resources.

Asteroid pieces — more than 100 tons — bombard the Earth daily, a past NASA report notes, but most disintegrate before hitting the surface of our planet.

"NASA and partners have identified 95 percent of asteroids large enough to cause global catastrophe and none will pose a threat in this century," Aaron Miles, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said, Fox News reports. 

While it's rare for an asteroid to cause serious damage, it has happened. In 2013, a house-sized meteor (a part of an asteroid) injured more than 1,600 people in Chelyabinsk, Russia.

In 2016, NASA established a Planetary Defense Coordination Office to identify these objects and address possible hazards.

Mystery of ‘UFO formation’ on Mars SOLVED – scientists claim

A BAFFLING formation on the surface of Mars – which sent conspiracy theorists into a frenzy – has finally been solved, experts have revealed.

By Anders Anglesey

The odd eight-mile by the Medusae Fossae Formation was seen as proof of alien life according to ufologists. 

YouTuber Scott C. Waring, of channel UFOvni2012, previously claimed the formation was a crashed spaceship.

In 2016, he said of the NASA photographs: “If we take a look at the crash site we see that the UFO, which is approximately 190 miles wide, impacted the surface at a low angle ending up half buried in the Martian solid. 

But, experts revealed in the Journal of Geophysical Research revealed the formation was something more natural.

ESA

BIZARRE: The formation sparked fierce debate online

Images from the European Space Agency showed a different view of the strange shapes, which were then updated by researchers. 

According to scientists the features are ancient volcanos that were once active on the Red Planet’s surface. 

They claim they were formed when high winds carved strange shapes into the rocks. 

Keen stargazers may be able to get a better view of the Martian surface over the next six weeks, it was revealed.

That is because Mars will be at its closest point to Earth since 2003 throughout June and July. 

On July 31, when Mars will be at its brightest, it will be 57.6million kilometres away from Earth, according to The Weather Channel.

That means it will be visible to the naked eye.

'It's a government secret weapon' Bizarre 'Prometheus UFO' spotted before DISSAPPEARING

BIZARRE footage has emerged proving global governments run secret projects that could be the plot to a sci-fi film, according to wild claims online.

By Callum Hoare 

The video shows a UFO racing through the skies of France, as the camera struggles to keep up.

From the clip it does not appear to be any known aircraft from militaries around the world, with a U-shape body. 

It was uploaded to YouTube channel ZealotinAll Black3, where the page speculated the vehicle disappeared following the recording. 

It has since gained popularity among conspiracy theorists online, including one well-known channel secureteam10.

YOUTUBE

BIZARRE: Could it be something straight out a sci-fi movie?

“Looks like something straight out a Sci-Fi movie”

YouTube viewer

Tyler Glockner, who runs the channel, speculated it was "something straight out of Star Wars". 

And his video has racked up more than 350,000 hits since, where viewers were quick to add their own spin on it.

One comment read: "This object is the exact shape of the alien craft rendered in the movie Prometheus."

Another added: "Looks like something straight out a Sci-Fi movie."

And a third claimed: "It's the government's new secret weapon. 

"They are experimenting on us for future use on war."

It's not the first time alien life has apparently been spotted. though. 

There were similar scenes in Texas over the weekend when one man saw something strangeleaving a military base. 

And before that, another UFO was spotted near Area 51.

Nu zijn er foto’s opgedoken die afkomstig zijn uit een uitzending van de Russische televisie in 1995, waarop de landing van een klassiek retro “vliegende schotel” is te zien in het noorden van Moskou.

If you hate to go to museums because you feel the eyes are following you around the room (I know it’s not just me), you may not want to visit Turin, Italy, and look at the image on the most famous shroud in history. A new study suggests that the image, believed by many to be that of Jesus, shows indications that the body was moving when it was transferred to the cloth. Was it the eyes? Are you sufficiently spooked?

New study: Christ figure moving in Shroud of Turin

The video (see it here) is from the International Institute for Advanced Studies of Space Representation Sciences in Palermo, Italy. Produced in 2008, it doesn’t seem to have generated much interest at that time, but a copy floating around the Internet recently has renewed interest in it, especially with the three-dimensional life-size representation of the “Man of the Shroud” revealed earlier this year. The institute was founded by Giuseppe Maria Catalano, who describes himself has an engineer, scientist, author, artist and scholar in the field of Space Representation Sciences. In this case, ”space” refers to the geometric rather than the outer kind. In a similar way to the 3-D representation, Catalano seems to have used his “science of representation” and an old technique called photogrammetry to recreate what may have been happening if and when the image was created from a human body.

What did he find?

“The anatomic shape of the right hand in this position reveals a strong effort during traction of the ring around the thumb. It proves a conscious movement made by a quite fit man. The anatomic shape of the right hand in the other position, the one well known for centuries, proves the remarkable distance of the body from the Shroud plane. Like photo grams laid one upon the other, the linen shows not only these two extremes but also the intermediate positions of the hand. Finally the left hand, the left foot and the calecon belt are also surveyed each one in distinct positions, following and close, caused by regular bodily movements. For a few seconds a geometrically definite radiation, shed by the body, passing through objects, printed on the Shroud the images of a quite fit body in a conscious movement.”

In other words, Catalano claims that his science of representation shows evidence that both hands and one of the feet moved while the image was created. Was this a sign of the Resurrection or an involuntary movement by a recently deceased corpse? That’s open for discussion, arguments and possibly religious wars.

The Shroud of Turin: Detailed Analysis

In a review of the video in The American Conservative, Rob Dreher points out that the new hand position described resembles that of the 6th century Byzantine icon known as The Christ Pantocrator of St. Catherine’s Monastery at Sinai, which is a gesture of blessing. A hand positioned to give a blessing on what could have been Jesus rising from the dead are two dots easily connected by those who want to believe that this is the actual burial should.

Or not. Why did the shroud capture so little movement? Why not something more obvious or expressive, like an arm sweeping it away? What if the shroud is a 13th century fake as many experts believe? Is this a sign that the fakers were putting in subtle details to really fool the masses at the Masses?

The Shroud of Turin is one of the most studied pieces of cloth in history and yet it’s still a mystery. Does this video prove anything? Does it disprove anything? Would you believe it more if it said the eyes moved?

As a follow-up to my article “The Many and Varied Balloons of Roswell,” I thought I would share with you another example of how and why the UFO phenomenon was – in the late 1940s – so tied to the matter of top secret balloon-based programs. It was primarily because, in many cases, they were one and the same! Today’s example has for many years been perceived as a ufological classic, but which also falls under the “secret balloon” category. It occurred just half a year after Roswell. It’s the strange and ultimately tragic affair of Kentucky Air National Guard pilot Captain Thomas P. Mantell, who, many UFO believers accept, lost his life chasing a UFO on the afternoon of January 7, 1948. He did not. Mantell died chasing a balloon.

Mystery Object Causing UFO Sightings Caught on Video

Matters began when personnel at Godman Army Air Field, Kentucky, caught sight of something in the sky they perceived as very strange: a large and extremely reflective object that appeared to be circular in design. No one could identify it. It was, then, hardly surprising that talk of flying saucers was quickly all-encompassing.

Fortunately, or so it seemed at the time, a squadron of four P51Mustang aircraft was heading towards Godman Army Airfield – a squadron under the command of Captain Mantell. One of the pilots was low on fuel, another one expressed concerns about pursuing the object due to his lack of an oxygen-mask, and a third was ordered to shadow to the ground the pilot who had worries about losing consciousness due to oxygen deprivation. That just left Captain Mantell to pursue the object.

At a height of around 15,000 feet, Mantell called into the base and said that he could see the “UFO” quite clearly. He pushed his plane further through the skies, ultimately reaching a height of approximately 25,000 feet. Then, nothing. Apart, that is, from death for the captain: having reached such an altitude without oxygen, Mantell passed out and his plane plummeted to the ground. For many in Ufology, the case is a UFO classic. No, it’s not. It’s a classic mistake.

Unbeknownst to many within the military, at the time of Mantell’s encounter, the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research had developed, and deployed, massive balloons into the skies of the United States. It was all part of a program called Project Skyhook. For the most part, the balloons captured meteorological data. That did not take away the fact, however, that the existence of the balloons was a well-kept secret. These monster-sized balloons were highly reflective, just as was the object that Mantell encountered. On the subject of Mantell, it’s very important to note that he did not have a need-to-know clearance about the work of Project Skyhook.

Staff at the Air Force’s UFO program, Project Sign, were told of Skyhook, however. This was something which placed Project Sign staff in a very awkward position. They had no desire to tell the world that Mantell had possibly been blown out of the skies by aliens, particularly so because he wasn’t. But, due to the highly classified nature of Project Skyhook, they could hardly reveal the truth without also compromising the Navy’s project. So, Sign staff offered unlikely suggestions that didn’t really convince anyone, such as that perhaps Mantell, in a confused and low-on-oxygen state, was mistakenly chasing the planet Venus. UFO researchers, history has shown, suspected that the military was engaged in a cover-up. Well, yes, it was. But, they weren’t hiding a UFO. They were hiding a highly classified balloon.

I bring the Mantell case to your attention for one particular reason. Not because it has a link to Roswell, but because it demonstrates that in terms of national security and secret military programs, in the early years of the Cold War massive balloons, flying saucers, and UFOs very often crossed paths in odd ways that many might think almost unimaginable. In the Roswell case, the truth was hidden behind a barrier of tales of UFOs, weather-balloons and Project Mogul balloons. In the Mantell case, the military couldn’t reveal what they really knew, because doing so would have opened up a large can of worms about the balloon-based Project Skyhook.

Indeed, and as Dr. David Clarke – the author of, among others, How UFOs Conquered the World – noted in 2015, with regard to Project Skyhook and Mantell: “In 2004 a former member of the project’s staff, Duke Gildenberg, revealed the Office of Naval Research had monitored press reports of flying saucer sightings to track the movements of their balloons. The Mantell incident was an early indication of the problems – and solutions – that mass belief in UFOs could provide for intelligence agencies.”

FAA Acknowledges 2018 UFO Encounter Over New York

The last year has been an eventful one as far as UFO disclosure is concerned. Between the Pentagon owning up to running a high-level research program concerned with anomalous aerial phenomena and things far stranger and the declassified footage of Navy vessels being stalked for days by unidentified flying Tic Tacs, it’s becoming clear that world governments likely do in fact know more about the mysteries overhead than they typically let on. In this seemingly newfound spirit of disclosure, the FAA has acknowledged yet another incident in which pilots reported seeing strange, unknown objects in the skies.

Earlier this year, the FAA released recordings of a 2017 incident over Arizona in which the pilots of two separate aircraft spotted an anomalous, unresponsive object flying at high altitudes. This latest incident took place earlier this year on May 26 over Huntington, Long Island and was once again reported by Tyler Rogoway at aviation blog The War Zone. Rogoway confirmed the incident with an FAA spokesperson, but was told a Freedom of Information Act request would be needed for the FAA to release the official report.

Luckily, audio of the incident was recorded by air traffic control blog LiveATC.com. According to the audio, the pilot of a single-engine Piper Saratoga was en route to Old Bridge Airport in New Jersey when it spotted a strange object directly in front of his plane at around 12:59 p.m. local time. Both were flying at close to 6,000 feet.

The pilot immediately called air traffic controllers and stated “I have an object in front of me, I don’t know what it is.” Air traffic controllers immediately thought it could be a drone, but the pilot responded that it appeared much bigger and had lights on it. Naturally, air traffic controllers assumed the object to be a drone, but found nothing on their radar, prompting the pilot to respond “I know I’m not delusional.”

Neither is everyone else who knows there’s more going on above our heads than the proverbial they are letting on. Do these recently-released recordings merely show that our skies are becoming crowded with drones or unknown spy aircraft flown by adversarial nations, or might these finally be conclusive evidence of the unknown? It’ll take a lot more FOIA requests before the truth comes to light.

Rare Green Glowing UFO Caught Above Ottawa

The latest images sent in recently show some very unique sky phenomena seen in the skies around the world.

One photographer captured a very strange glowing greenish object in the sky above Ottawa that looks like a TR3B craft but as far as we know, a TR3B craft does not emit such a green glow, so the object could be a UFO too.

Beside the UFO, the footage show images of unusual ring cloud formations and bizarre colored clouds which indicate the presence of toxins in the atmosphere.

It is amazing what barium, strontium, aluminum and lithium in the sky will do...

Scientists confirm that mysterious radio signals from outer space are not made by humankind

by: Rhonda Johansson

Natural News) The universe’s brightest signals are extraterrestrial in origin, Australian scientists have confirmed. Their report, published in Monthly Notices at the Royal Astronomical Society, was able to detect three specific radio emissions which definitely came from space.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) were first recorded a decade ago. These are pulses of light that are the brightest scientists have ever seen. However, their origin has always been a mystery. FRBs have been linked to everything from alien communication to errors in measurement to interference from Earth. In fact, these signals were thought to be little more than anomalies after a famous 2015 controversy showed scientists supposedly receiving “alien messages” only to find out these were just interference from their own microwave. However, this new report puts an end to all the controversy: These bizarre signals are not coming from our planet.

This was confirmed after data were gathered from a giant telescope located 40 km outside of Canberra. Three such FRBs were recorded using the Molonglo radio telescope. This specific telescope features an enormous focal length, having a collecting area of 193,750 square feet (18,000 sqm) and a field of view of around eight degrees of the sky. The telescope is able to produce 1000 TB of data every day.

The universe’s brightest signals are extraterrestrial in origin, Australian scientists have confirmed. Their report, published in Monthly Notices at the Royal Astronomical Society, was able to detect three specific radio emissions which definitely came from space.

“Conventional single dish radio telescopes have difficulty establishing that transmissions originate beyond the Earth’s atmosphere,” said Dr. Chris Flynn of the Swinburne University of Technology. The Molonglo telescope was re-engineered to be able to gather more data.

Professor Anne Green of the University of Sydney added, “it is very exciting to see the University of Sydney’s Molonglo telescope making such important scientific discoveries by partnering with Swinburne’s expertise in supercomputing.”

Green is referring to the new software which allowed the scientists to sift through all the data collected from Molonglo and pinpoint these three FRBs. The Ph.D. student at Australian National University, Manish Caleb, who designed the software said, “because of the telescope’s characteristics, we’re 100 percent sure the bursts came from space. We have scientifically confirmed that FRBs are extraterrestrial…we expect Molonglo will do this for more bursts.”

Dr. Flynn agreed, stating, “local radio interference shows up in several of Molonglo’s beams. Cosmic signals never show up in more than three. That’s how we knew these signals were cosmic.”

The telescope data confirmed that all three FRBs came from space, but only one could be localized to a specific galaxy. “Figuring out where the bursts come from is the key to understanding what makes them,” said Caleb. “Only one burst has been linked to a specific galaxy.”

Extraterrestrial messages of what?

Despite confirming their origin, scientists still do not know what they mean. One hypothesis is that these bursts could be remnants of alien space probes or even alien megastructures. In order to leave a trail that bright or long-lasting, it is surmised that the transmitter would need to have a surface area twice the size of Earth. This would require not only more advanced technology, but massive construction effort. Still, the stutter “heard” from the star KIC 8462852 would need an almost inconceivably-sized alien megastructure. The only reason a civilization would need to build a structure that size, scientists said, is for interstellar travel.  

The raw power required to leave such a focused radio stream would be enough to propel a one million ton ship over vast distances.

“That’s big enough to carry living passengers across interstellar or even intergalactic distances,” cited Manasvi Lingam of Harvard University.

Such a ship would need radio beams to “push” its sails. These beams then leave traces in space which are detected by human technology as bright pockets in the sky. To that end, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics researcher Avi Loeb stated, “science isn’t a matter of belief, it’s a matter of evidence. Deciding what’s likely ahead of time limits the possibilities. It’s worth putting ideas out there and letting the data be the judge.”

From the Farside: "The Most Controversial Secret on Earth" --Why UFOs are Now a Serious News Story

"You've seen it without knowing it. Remember that wild news in December about a secret Pentagon UFO program? And those grainy military videos showing radar images of unexplained phenomena — white, Tic-Tac-shaped objects that appear to fly at remarkable speeds, at impossible angles, without wings or exhaust?"

Tom DeLonge former Blink 182 rockstar helped ring the alarm about those things, as part of his new business venture: To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science. For his advisory board, DeLonge recruited physicists, aerospace experts and former Department of Defense officials, who have been talking publicly about UFOs and arguing that the government has failed to fully investigate them.

DeLonge says he wants to build "a perpetual funding machine" to investigate UFOs and thereby advance our own species continues Dan Zak for the Washington Post. At a launch event for To The Stars Academy in Seattle last fall, he explained that he was expanding his small entertainment venture — which has mostly published his graphic novels and books about UFOs and the paranormal — into a far more ambitious scientific operation, to explore "the most controversial secret on Earth."

In the past six months, DeLonge's associates have appeared on CNN and Fox News, written for The Washington Post and been cited in the New York Times — usually in the context of those eerie videos. "What the f--- is that thing?" a Navy pilot says in a video released by To The Stars in March, but perhaps the more pertinent question is: How did the guy from Blink-182 get wrapped up in it?

In a handout image taken from a video released by the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, a 2004 encounter near San Diego between two Navy F/A-18F fighter jets and an unknown object. UFOs have been repeatedly investigated over the decades in the United States, including by the American military. (U.S Department of Defense)

Rich men have the luxury of looking to the stars for investment and wish fulfillment. SpaceX founder Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen wants to make interplanetary travel cheap and routine. Amazon chief executive Jeffrey Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, envisions moving industry off Earth and shipping products down from space.

DeLonge, who declined to comment for this article, explained at the launch that he had used his fame to meet with the keepers of that secret, in "clandestine encounters" in "desert airports" and "vacant buildings deep within Washington D.C."

Some of those people sat behind DeLonge onstage, including former intelligence officer Luis Elizondo, the former director of a hush-hush UFO program at the Pentagon.

"The phenomenon is indeed real," Elizondo said when it was his turn to speak. Just days before, the 22-year Defense Department veteran had submitted a resignation letter to the Pentagon, citing its disregard of "overwhelming evidence" that unexplained phenomena have been interfering with the U.S. military.

UFOs are suddenly a serious news story. You can thank the guy from Blink-182 for that.

At the turn of the millennium, Blink-182 was everywhere. On the cover of the pop-punk band’s smash album, “Enema of the State,” a busty nurse with a lustful grin snapped on a latex glove. At MTV beach concerts, sunburned masses moshed to the No. 1 hit “All the Small Things.” But frontman Tom DeLonge — the one with the angsty, adolescent singing voice — had been nurturing an offstage hobby that was decidedly out of the mainstream.

With his first record-deal payout as a fledgling teenage rock star, DeLonge had bought a computer to research the prospect of intelligent life beyond Earth. And after Blink-182 made him a fortune, he further indulged his fascination with the paranormal.

He co-wrote a 700-page novel about UFOs.

He brainstormed a film about skateboarders who become paranormal detectives.

He produced websites buzzing with stories about Bigfoot and disintegrating mummies.

Now in his early 40s, with his music career cooled but his financial resources apparently intact, DeLonge has channeled those bizarre passions into his next act.

You’ve seen it without knowing it. Remember that wild news in December about a secret Pentagon UFO program? And those grainy military videos showing radar images of unexplained phenomena — white, Tic-Tac-shaped objects that appear to fly at remarkable speeds, at impossible angles, without wings or exhaust?

Some of those people sat behind DeLonge onstage, including former intelligence officer Luis Elizondo, the former director of a hush-hush UFO program at the Pentagon.

Just days before, the 22-year Defense Department veteran had submitted a resignation letter to the Pentagon, citing its disregard of “overwhelming evidence” that unexplained phenomena have been interfering with the U.S. military.

Elizondo had overseen the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, quietly created in 2007 by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) with the encouragement of a reclusive Nevada billionaire named Robert Bigelow. Like DeLonge, Bigelow made his fortune through earthly pursuits (real estate) but was fascinated by the otherworldly; he had funded research into crop and cattle mutilations. After he got Reid’s attention, Bigelow’s aerospace company then won the $22 million contract to run the Pentagon’s secret program, as first reported by the New York Times late last year. (Reid and Bigelow did not respond to requests for comment.)

Despite its peculiar mandate, Bigelow Aerospace’s output was typical of federal bureaucracy: It produced paper. There was a 490-page report on alleged UFO sightings, and a series of studies on experimental physics. One study written for the Defense Intelligence Agency (“Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy”) urged federal research into interstellar travel and was illustrated with a childish drawing of a dinosaur greeting Albert Einstein through a hole in the space-time continuum.

But the secret program’s collection of weird military videos was what made headlines, starting with the December New York Times article. Whatever is in the videos “isn’t human, it’s not natural, it’s under artificial control,” says Eric W. Davis, the astrophysicist who wrote the study on wormholes and stargates. “We don’t know where it comes from. But it’s here, and has been here for some time.”

Davis, who works for a Bigelow subcontractor called Earthtech International, is but one player in the web of UFO enthusiasts who are interconnected by the secret Pentagon program and To the Stars Academy. There is also Earthtech’s chief executive, Stanford-trained physicist Harold Puthoff, who once devoted serious study to the work of self-described “mystifier” Uri Geller, the 1970s “Tonight Show” guest who claimed he could bend spoons with his mind.

When Puthoff heard about DeLonge’s interest in extraterrestrial phenomena, he reached out — and, like Elizondo, ended up with a new job after Pentagon funding for UFO research dried up. He’s now vice president for science and technology for To the Stars. Elizondo is its director of global security and special programs.

Elizondo and Puthoff were among the key voices quoted in the blockbuster front-page Times article that revealed the covert existence of the Pentagon’s UFO program. The story drew millions of readers online, with the videos of flying shapes and incredulous pilots murmuring “My gosh!” and “Look at that thing!”

Though DeLonge’s new venture got a nod in the article, the rock star himself was not mentioned. Nonetheless, To the Stars was ready for its moment.

“STUNNING NEW YORK TIMES FRONT PAGE EXPOSE” the company declared in a news release. The homepage of its new website featured a button labeled “INVEST.”

"What if people knew that these were real?" DeLonge sang on the 1999 track "Aliens Exist." In fact, most Americans believe in extraterrestrial life. Still, the subject carries the odor of crazy, so the recent news coverage of the videos was "huge," says Jan Harzan, director of the Mutual UFO Network, a group that investigates sightings.

“Basically, it made UFOs go mainstream,” Harzan says. “UFOs are real. And it represents advanced technology in our skies. If we want to advance as a civilization, this is something we have to focus on.”

The 2004 video highlighted by the Times is a touchstone for To the Stars, which put out its own report that, with its blacked-out passages, resembled a declassified government document. The report described how the unidentified object off the coast of California moved "in a manner that seemed to defy the laws of flight physics" and how the F/A-18 pilots, greeted upon their return by TVs playing "Men in Black" and "The X-Files," felt their observations were not taken seriously. One pilot, furious at the ridicule, sent detailed notes to an aunt. "Keep this because this is important stuff," the pilot wrote.

Yet the report from To the Stars is not a government document, according to a Pentagon spokesperson. Dated Sept. 7, 2017, it was created 13 years after that UFO incident, as To the Stars geared up to court investors.

When the Times article appeared in December, astronomer Jill Tarter thought to herself: “Here we go again.” Co-founder of the SETI Institute, Tarter has spent her career searching for signs of life beyond Earth, and over the years she has repeatedly encountered the same names — people who believe we’ve been visited by aliens. Tarter is not so convinced.

The Times article cited Bigelow and Puthoff, whose interest in the paranormal is no secret. Tarter says Bigelow once pitched SETI on a project to investigate alien sightings and offered to fund it.

“It’s hard to walk away from money,” Tarter says, but Bigelow “was so very convinced that we have been visited, and I couldn’t find it credible, and he didn’t offer any evidence.”

And the article, co-written by two Times veterans, also gave a byline to freelancer Leslie Kean. The author of books on UFOs and the afterlife (which received blurbs of praise from Puthoff), Kean had previously been given an exclusive on the To the Stars launch for a laudatory HuffPost article about DeLonge’s start-up: “Inside Knowledge About Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Could Lead To World-Changing Technology.”

“I just hope they have success,” Kean later told Open Minds UFO Radio. “I think what Tom [DeLonge] has done is extraordinary.” (Kean and the Times declined to comment.)

On its website, To the Stars bills the UFO videos as “the first official evidence” of “unidentified aerial phenomena” (while promising “THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING”). But an online community of skeptics has swarmed the videos, noting that the “glowing aura” in one video resembles a common infrared effect caused when a hot object, such as a jet engine, is seen against a cold background, such as high-altitude clouds.

“DeLonge had been promising so much for such a long time” and “people were either becoming very cynical or gathering a sense of real expectation,” says Robert Sheaffer, a former Silicon Valley engineer and former chairman of the Bay Area Skeptics. Now, he says, To the Stars has simply put forward a “a couple more blurry videos that are similar to the blurry videos we’ve had before this.”

The latest blurry video, released by To the Stars in March, features a blip zooming at low altitude off the East Coast in 2015. Some debunkers reasoned that it was a big, slow-moving bird that looked fast only because of the angle and movement of the observing jet.

An official with the Defense Intelligence Agency maintains that the hype over the secret Pentagon UFO program is misleading.

“Some out there seem to be making this into more than it really is,” said the official, who was granted anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The program, he said, was not created to investigate unearthly technology but simply to prepare for aerospace advances by foreign adversaries — and was shuttered in 2012 because “there was limited value in what was produced.”

But that, argues Christopher Mellon, is exactly the problem.

Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense under Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, is another adviser to DeLonge’s team. Mellon says there have been numerous other incidents along the East Coast in which unidentified flying objects have apparently penetrated U.S. defenses. There are more videos yet to be shared, he says, and “hard technical data corroborated by no-nonsense military personnel.”

Are these things Russian? Chinese? Or from some alien civilization? Whatever they are, the government has not been taking it seriously enough, Mellon argues. (The Pentagon declined to comment.) The situation reminds him of the muddled period before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“Instead of being intrigued or even electrified by worrisome data,” he says, “various agencies and "departments are failing to share information or take action."

This is why Mellon, Elizondo and other credentialed individuals with advanced degrees and decades of high-clearance government service have attached their reputations to a semiretired rock star with a sideline in paranormal fiction. At least someone, they argue, is taking their concerns seriously.

“I think people look at him as a rock-’n’-roller turned pseudo-scientist,” says Elizondo, “but once you get to know who he is, Tom is more of a scientist who happens to be a talented musician.” His endeavor “is about telling the American people the truth.”

For Elizondo, transparency on this issue is paramount. “We trust the American people to know that Kim Jong Un has thermonuclear weapons pointed at L.A.,” he says. “We trust the American people to know there’s a potential Ebola pandemic that could come out of Africa. And yet we don’t trust the American people with information that there is unidentified phenomena in our airspace, and that we don’t know how it works?”

DeLonge’s goals, though, reach beyond national security. To the Stars promises to develop “next-generation” concepts for propulsion in space, according to its prospectus, and harness “warp drive metrics” and telepathic powers.

There is also a somewhat mystical mission: “to present a positive and unifying message to all generations, in every country, in every belief system, that the growth of consciousness that we all desire can start here, right now,” DeLonge said at his October launch.

It seems to be getting off to a slow start. As of mid-March, To the Stars had raised $2.5 million from a few thousand investors — not quite enough to achieve faster-than-light travel or to solve whatever mystery is unfolding in the skies. DeLonge lent To the Stars $600,000 to get off the ground, and the company is required to pay him $100,000 in yearly royalty fees.

For now, To the Stars’ only deliverables are DeLonge’s novels, some branded coffee mugs and clothing, and swag from his current rock band, Angels and Airwaves. The latest news from the company was an April 3 news release touting the upcoming sequel to DeLonge’s novel “Sekret Machines.” The release hyped Elizondo and Mellon’s involvement in the company, lending a dash of national-security authority to a niche-market entertainment product. The novel is about explorers who “locate an ancient tablet that may hold the answers to humanity’s greatest question”: Are we alone in the universe?

The novel — “based on actual events” — is available in September, starting at $24.95.

In the past six months, DeLonge's associates have appeared on CNN and Fox News, written for The Washington Post and been cited in the New York Times — usually in the context of those eerie videos. "What the f--- is that thing?" a Navy pilot says in a video released by To The Stars in March, but perhaps the more pertinent question is: How did the guy from Blink-182 get wrapped up in it?

Rich men have the luxury of looking to the stars for investment and wish fulfillment. SpaceX founder Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen wants to make interplanetary travel cheap and routine. Amazon chief executive Jeffrey Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, envisions moving industry off Earth and shipping products down from space.

DeLonge, who declined to comment for this article, explained at the launch that he had used his fame to meet with the keepers of that secret, in "clandestine encounters" in "desert airports" and "vacant buildings deep within Washington D.C."

Some of those people sat behind DeLonge onstage, including former intelligence officer Luis Elizondo, the former director of a hush-hush UFO program at the Pentagon.

"The phenomenon is indeed real," Elizondo said when it was his turn to speak. Just days before, the 22-year Defense Department veteran had submitted a resignation letter to the Pentagon, citing its disregard of "overwhelming evidence" that unexplained phenomena have been interfering with the U.S. military.

UFOs are suddenly a serious news story. You can thank the guy from Blink-182 for that.

At the turn of the millennium, Blink-182 was everywhere. On the cover of the pop-punk band’s smash album, “Enema of the State,” a busty nurse with a lustful grin snapped on a latex glove. At MTV beach concerts, sunburned masses moshed to the No. 1 hit “All the Small Things.” But frontman Tom DeLonge — the one with the angsty, adolescent singing voice — had been nurturing an offstage hobby that was decidedly out of the mainstream.

With his first record-deal payout as a fledgling teenage rock star, DeLonge had bought a computer to research the prospect of intelligent life beyond Earth. And after Blink-182 made him a fortune, he further indulged his fascination with the paranormal.

He co-wrote a 700-page novel about UFOs.

He brainstormed a film about skateboarders who become paranormal detectives.

He produced websites buzzing with stories about Bigfoot and disintegrating mummies.

Now in his early 40s, with his music career cooled but his financial resources apparently intact, DeLonge has channeled those bizarre passions into his next act.

You’ve seen it without knowing it. Remember that wild news in December about a secret Pentagon UFO program? And those grainy military videos showing radar images of unexplained phenomena — white, Tic-Tac-shaped objects that appear to fly at remarkable speeds, at impossible angles, without wings or exhaust?

Tom DeLonge helped ring the alarm about those things, as part of his new business venture: To the Stars Academy of Arts and Science. For his advisory board, DeLonge recruited physicists, aerospace experts and former Department of Defense officials, who have been talking publicly about UFOs and arguing that the government has failed to fully investigate them.

Tom DeLonge says he wants to build “a perpetual funding machine” to investigate UFOs and thereby advance our own species.

At a launch event for To the Stars Academy in Seattle last fall, he explained that he was expanding his small entertainment venture — which has mostly published his graphic novels and books about UFOs and the paranormal — into a far more ambitious scientific operation, to explore “the most controversial secret on Earth.”

DeLonge, who was unavailable for comment, explained at the launch that he had used his fame to meet with the keepers of that secret, in “clandestine encounters” in “desert airports” and “vacant buildings deep within Washington, D.C.”

Some of those people sat behind DeLonge onstage, including former intelligence officer Luis Elizondo, the former director of a hush-hush UFO program at the Pentagon.

“The phenomenon is indeed real,” Elizondo said when it was his turn to speak. Just days before, the 22-year Defense Department veteran had submitted a resignation letter to the Pentagon, citing its disregard of “overwhelming evidence” that unexplained phenomena have been interfering with the U.S. military.

Elizondo had overseen the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, quietly created in 2007 by then-Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) with the encouragement of a reclusive Nevada billionaire named Robert Bigelow. Like DeLonge, Bigelow made his fortune through earthly pursuits (real estate) but was fascinated by the otherworldly; he had funded research into crop and cattle mutilations. After he got Reid’s attention, Bigelow’s aerospace company then won the $22 million contract to run the Pentagon’s secret program, as first reported by the New York Times late last year. (Reid and Bigelow did not respond to requests for comment.)

Despite its peculiar mandate, Bigelow Aerospace’s output was typical of federal bureaucracy: It produced paper. There was a 490-page report on alleged UFO sightings, and a series of studies on experimental physics. One study written for the Defense Intelligence Agency (“Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy”) urged federal research into interstellar travel and was illustrated with a childish drawing of a dinosaur greeting Albert Einstein through a hole in the space-time continuum.

But the secret program’s collection of weird military videos was what made headlines, starting with the December New York Times article. Whatever is in the videos “isn’t human, it’s not natural, it’s under artificial control,” says Eric W. Davis, the astrophysicist who wrote the study on wormholes and stargates. “We don’t know where it comes from. But it’s here, and has been here for some time.”

Davis, who works for a Bigelow subcontractor called Earthtech International, is but one player in the web of UFO enthusiasts who are interconnected by the secret Pentagon program and To the Stars Academy. There is also Earthtech’s chief executive, Stanford-trained physicist Harold Puthoff, who once devoted serious study to the work of self-described “mystifier” Uri Geller, the 1970s “Tonight Show” guest who claimed he could bend spoons with his mind.

When Puthoff heard about DeLonge’s interest in extraterrestrial phenomena, he reached out — and, like Elizondo, ended up with a new job after Pentagon funding for UFO research dried up. He’s now vice president for science and technology for To the Stars. Elizondo is its director of global security and special programs.

Elizondo and Puthoff were among the key voices quoted in the blockbuster front-page Times article that revealed the covert existence of the Pentagon’s UFO program. The story drew millions of readers online, with the videos of flying shapes and incredulous pilots murmuring “My gosh!” and “Look at that thing!”

Though DeLonge’s new venture got a nod in the article, the rock star himself was not mentioned. Nonetheless, To the Stars was ready for its moment.

“STUNNING NEW YORK TIMES FRONT PAGE EXPOSE” the company declared in a news release. The homepage of its new website featured a button labeled “INVEST.”

"What if people knew that these were real?" DeLonge sang on the 1999 track "Aliens Exist." In fact, most Americans believe in extraterrestrial life. Still, the subject carries the odor of crazy, so the recent news coverage of the videos was "huge," says Jan Harzan, director of the Mutual UFO Network, a group that investigates sightings.

“Basically, it made UFOs go mainstream,” Harzan says. “UFOs are real. And it represents advanced technology in our skies. If we want to advance as a civilization, this is something we have to focus on.”

The 2004 video highlighted by the Times is a touchstone for To the Stars, which put out its own report that, with its blacked-out passages, resembled a declassified government document. The report described how the unidentified object off the coast of California moved "in a manner that seemed to defy the laws of flight physics" and how the F/A-18 pilots, greeted upon their return by TVs playing "Men in Black" and "The X-Files," felt their observations were not taken seriously. One pilot, furious at the ridicule, sent detailed notes to an aunt. "Keep this because this is important stuff," the pilot wrote.

Yet the report from To the Stars is not a government document, according to a Pentagon spokesperson. Dated Sept. 7, 2017, it was created 13 years after that UFO incident, as To the Stars geared up to court investors.

When the Times article appeared in December, astronomer Jill Tarter thought to herself: “Here we go again.” Co-founder of the SETI Institute, Tarter has spent her career searching for signs of life beyond Earth, and over the years she has repeatedly encountered the same names — people who believe we’ve been visited by aliens. Tarter is not so convinced.

The Times article cited Bigelow and Puthoff, whose interest in the paranormal is no secret. Tarter says Bigelow once pitched SETI on a project to investigate alien sightings and offered to fund it.

“It’s hard to walk away from money,” Tarter says, but Bigelow “was so very convinced that we have been visited, and I couldn’t find it credible, and he didn’t offer any evidence.”

And the article, co-written by two Times veterans, also gave a byline to freelancer Leslie Kean. The author of books on UFOs and the afterlife (which received blurbs of praise from Puthoff), Kean had previously been given an exclusive on the To the Stars launch for a laudatory HuffPost article about DeLonge’s start-up: “Inside Knowledge About Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Could Lead To World-Changing Technology.”

“I just hope they have success,” Kean later told Open Minds UFO Radio. “I think what Tom [DeLonge] has done is extraordinary.” (Kean and the Times declined to comment.)

On its website, To the Stars bills the UFO videos as “the first official evidence” of “unidentified aerial phenomena” (while promising “THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING”). But an online community of skeptics has swarmed the videos, noting that the “glowing aura” in one video resembles a common infrared effect caused when a hot object, such as a jet engine, is seen against a cold background, such as high-altitude clouds.

“DeLonge had been promising so much for such a long time” and “people were either becoming very cynical or gathering a sense of real expectation,” says Robert Sheaffer, a former Silicon Valley engineer and former chairman of the Bay Area Skeptics. Now, he says, To the Stars has simply put forward a “a couple more blurry videos that are similar to the blurry videos we’ve had before this.”

The latest blurry video, released by To the Stars in March, features a blip zooming at low altitude off the East Coast in 2015. Some debunkers reasoned that it was a big, slow-moving bird that looked fast only because of the angle and movement of the observing jet.

An official with the Defense Intelligence Agency maintains that the hype over the secret Pentagon UFO program is misleading.

“Some out there seem to be making this into more than it really is,” said the official, who was granted anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. The program, he said, was not created to investigate unearthly technology but simply to prepare for aerospace advances by foreign adversaries — and was shuttered in 2012 because “there was limited value in what was produced.”

But that, argues Christopher Mellon, is exactly the problem.

Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense under Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, is another adviser to DeLonge’s team. Mellon says there have been numerous other incidents along the East Coast in which unidentified flying objects have apparently penetrated U.S. defenses. There are more videos yet to be shared, he says, and “hard technical data corroborated by no-nonsense military personnel.”

Are these things Russian? Chinese? Or from some alien civilization? Whatever they are, the government has not been taking it seriously enough, Mellon argues. (The Pentagon declined to comment.) The situation reminds him of the muddled period before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

“Instead of being intrigued or even electrified by worrisome data,” he says, “various agencies and "departments are failing to share information or take action."

This is why Mellon, Elizondo and other credentialed individuals with advanced degrees and decades of high-clearance government service have attached their reputations to a semiretired rock star with a sideline in paranormal fiction. At least someone, they argue, is taking their concerns seriously.

“I think people look at him as a rock-’n’-roller turned pseudo-scientist,” says Elizondo, “but once you get to know who he is, Tom is more of a scientist who happens to be a talented musician.” His endeavor “is about telling the American people the truth.”

For Elizondo, transparency on this issue is paramount. “We trust the American people to know that Kim Jong Un has thermonuclear weapons pointed at L.A.,” he says. “We trust the American people to know there’s a potential Ebola pandemic that could come out of Africa. And yet we don’t trust the American people with information that there is unidentified phenomena in our airspace, and that we don’t know how it works?”

DeLonge’s goals, though, reach beyond national security. To the Stars promises to develop “next-generation” concepts for propulsion in space, according to its prospectus, and harness “warp drive metrics” and telepathic powers.

There is also a somewhat mystical mission: “to present a positive and unifying message to all generations, in every country, in every belief system, that the growth of consciousness that we all desire can start here, right now,” DeLonge said at his October launch.

It seems to be getting off to a slow start. As of mid-March, To the Stars had raised $2.5 million from a few thousand investors — not quite enough to achieve faster-than-light travel or to solve whatever mystery is unfolding in the skies. DeLonge lent To the Stars $600,000 to get off the ground, and the company is required to pay him $100,000 in yearly royalty fees.

For now, To the Stars’ only deliverables are DeLonge’s novels, some branded coffee mugs and clothing, and swag from his current rock band, Angels and Airwaves. The latest news from the company was an April 3 news release touting the upcoming sequel to DeLonge’s novel “Sekret Machines.” The release hyped Elizondo and Mellon’s involvement in the company, lending a dash of national-security authority to a niche-market entertainment product. The novel is about explorers who “locate an ancient tablet that may hold the answers to humanity’s greatest question”: Are we alone in the universe?

The novel — “based on actual events” — is available in September, starting at $24.95.

U.S. Navy Had a UFO Encounter According to Leaked Military Report

The Pentagon’s UFO Research Project, and Its Incremental Migrations into the Public Mainstream

The hand remains hidden

The latest insights into a 14-year-old UFO incident “prepared by and for the military,” according to KLAS-TV investigative reporter George Knapp, read like the dry first chapter on the beginning of a new era. That’s probably wishful thinking from a malcontent exhausted by the predictability of despair. On the other hand, a mere glimmer of an alternative future is worth a little applause. Or at least a Mexican dog dance.

Ancient Mine of Extraterrestrials – The Serpent Mound

Serpent Mound positioned in rural Adams County, Ohio, is among the leading Native American mounds within the hemisphere.

A major renovation increased its form in the eighties. However, there appears to be a lot more than fits the eye right here.

Listed below are some of the very most amazing curiosities regarding this distinctive area:

1) Some say the area isn’t a coincidence when it’s externally of the magnetic crater.

2) The best way to view it’s form is from up in the air!

3) Among the least common elements in the world, iridium, is located in large quantity in the lands of The Serpent Mound. This element’s radioactive attributes are extremely useful for outer space. Top historic astronaut advocates trust that The Serpent Mound was really built like a mining site for extraterrestrials.

4) Serpent Mound is quite ancient, somewhat like Aristotle. Simply last year researchers estimate from the age of the actual earth are actually radically modified. The consequence of a fresh radiocarbon evaluation, recommending that it is around 1.400 years older than traditionally thought.

5) Most are the reviews of orange-like vibrant lights on the Mound. UFO’s observing an essential sight for them?

6) Ross Hamilton’s guide «The Secret of the Serpent Mound: Looking for the Symbols of the Gods» also speculates regarding the complicated mathematical utilized in it’s building and who it corresponds with the Pyramids!

7) Besides iridium, there isn’t a hint of a comet or asteroid. Mike Hansen, a outdated state geologist that operates an earthquake alert program and shows at Ohio State College, said it is obvious that the Serpent Mound region was disrupted by some force. However, Hansen believes the tensions were set off by natural changes in the Earth’s core.

8) We are nonetheless not certain who really the constructors where. In the past, experts initially attributed the actual mound towards the Adena customs. The actual Adena traditions did develop some neighbouring the mounds. Therefore, for more than a hundred twenty five years, numerous scholars believed they came up with the Serpent Mound as well.

9) They built it since the constellation Draco. The star structure from the constellation Draco fits along with fair accuracy to the Serpent Mound. Together with the historical Pole Star, Thuban, at its regional center inside the first of 7 coils through the head. cartography from the nineteen-eighties shows the way the margins from the Serpent line up with excellent accuracy to some large part of Draco.

10) Is this built by giants?! From the year 00′, author, as well as researcher Ross Hamilton having a staff involving eight experts, commenced the actual Tradition associated with Giants Task. They discovered with time many countless accounts recommending that a race of extremely intelligent, actually robust individuals once resided throughout the far eastern woodlands in America. They integrated his studies with academic papers. Ross lately made an appearance in the Historical past Channels.

Vulkaan verbergt ultiem geschenk voor biologen: een onontdekt regenwoud - HLN.be

Simone van Zwienen 

Bron: AD.nl

De 700 meter hoge vulkaan Mount Lico torent hoog boven het tropisch regenwoud uit in het noorden van Mozambique. Maar honderden jaren lang beklom niemand de afgelegen oude vulkaan, die een verborgen regenwoud herbergt. Het ongerepte geschenk voor wetenschappers werd in 2012 ontdekt door bioloog Julian Bayliss, die satellietbeelden bestudeerde op zoek naar een onaangetast tropisch regenwoud.

Dinosaurus

Sommige tropische regenwouden dateren uit de tijd van de dinosaurus, maar vrijwel allemaal vertonen ze tekenen van vroegere menselijke activiteit. Bayliss vroeg zich af of er bergtoppen waren die misschien onaangeroerd waren. Hij herinnert zich dat hij dacht: “Hoe zou zo’n bos eruit zien?”

Het antwoord was Lico. Maar de ligging - in het midden van een ondoordringbaar regenwoud - en hoogte van de berg zorgen ervoor dat het bos lastig toegankelijk is. Bayliss besloot zich te concentreren op het beklimmen van het laagste punt, een klif van ongeveer 125 meter.

Expeditie

In vijf jaar tijd stelde hij een 28-koppig droomteam van biologen, logistieke bemanning, plantexperts en onderzoekers samen voor de eerste expeditie, die vorige maand plaatsvond. Ze werden getraind door ervaren rotsklimmers om de expeditie midden in het omringende regenwoud uit te kunnen voeren. Het project werd een academisch samenwerkingsverband tussen dertien universiteiten, musea en onderzoeksinstellingen op drie continenten.

Omdat de enige verstoringen die het regenwoud in de loop van de eeuwen heeft doorgemaakt natuurlijk zijn – zoals droogte- is het voor wetenschappers ideaal om het effect van menselijke beïnvloeding op regenwouden te onderzoeken. 
Na slechts één expeditie hebben de wetenschappers al een nieuw soort vlinder en een muissoort gevonden. Ze verwachten de komende maanden nog meer onontdekte dieren te vinden, van slangen tot kikkers en padden.

Spookslak

Het is het tweede onaangetaste regenwoud dat wetenschappers in Mozambique hebben gevonden dankzij Google Earth. In 2005 zag Bayliss Mount Mabu, een 1700 meter hoge bergketen die zich midden in een savanne bevindt en het grootste regenwoud in zuidelijk Afrika bleek. De bergketen leek op een berg die hij al in het naburige Malawi bestudeerde, maar wetenschappers hadden deze nooit gedocumenteerd. Met zijn team vond Bayliss een hooggelegen regenwoud op de berg Mabu.

Expedities naar de plek onthulden de zogenaamde spookslak, een reptiel dat een kruising lijkt tussen een blinde slang en een hagedis, en onbekende soorten vlinders, schimmels en planten. Mount Lico is een meer geïsoleerd ecosysteem en kan daardoor nog meer unieke flora en fauna onthullen.

Can a scale-model plastic replica of something that never existed still be offensive enough to be banned? Would you change your answer if it was related to the Nazis? Would you change THAT answer if it was a 1:72 scale model of a Reichsflugscheibe Haunebu Flying Saucer that conspiracy theorists believe was really built and used to transport SS leaders and Nazi scientists to a secret base in Antarctica (or possibly on the Moon) as the war ended? Whatever happened to making models of customized hot rods?

“As a child protection association, we generally reject toys that can lead to ideologization.”

Nazi UFO 卐 Bell Flying Saucer Cover up Ancient Alien UFO Secret Technology 👽 the History Project 3

Bild.de reports that the German Child Protection Association’s Federal Managing Director Cordula Lasner-Tietze couldn’t believe that Revell, one of the oldest plastic model makers (it has a division in Germany but is headquartered in the U.S. in Illinois as Hobbico) would produce a model kit called the “Flying Saucer Haunebu II” and promote it for children “12 years +.” Priced at 50 euros ($57.95 US), the kit is sold in German stores and on Amazon.

Make that “was sold” in German stores and on Amazon. After being pressured by the Child Protection Association, the Military History Museum in Dresden and the offended German public, Revell stopped making the model and stores pulled the kits from their real and digital shelves.

Model cars are still OK

What is or was or was rumored to be the Reichsflugscheibe Haunebu or Haunebu II? According to the model box, it was a “round aircraft,” “the first object in the world capable of flying in space” and an aircraft capable of “up to speeds of 6,000 km/hr.” That’s 3728 mph or Mach 5 … in 1943.

“It was not technologically possible to build something like that back then. Imagine it would have been possible to build a saucer capable of flying 6000 km / h. After all, the military would have tried that out in the Cold War long ago.”

Historian Jens Wehner from the Military History Museum points out in the Franfurter Allgemeine that the kit does not indicate the flying saucer was impossible, which might lead some to believe it existed and the Nazis were technically more superior than the evidence and the war result has proven.

Revell made an attempt to agree.

“It is in fact a legendary, extraordinary aircraft which cannot be proven in terms of its existence. Unfortunately, our product description does not adequately express this and we apologize for it.”

A real experimental aircraft model kit

Revell can’t explain how the model actually made it through R&D to production. Perhaps it should ask some of the other smaller model companies still offering plastic versions of the Nazi flying saucer. Money?

Glorification of the Nazi war machine should rightly be condemned and the box clearly shows the flying saucer doing battle with non-German airplanes. Even if it were to be promoted as fictional (which would then rouse the conspiracists to demand its recall … you can’t win), the use of Nazi symbolism violates German laws and ethics. Yet other models will be sold and the original Revell Nazi saucers will undoubtedly show up on eBay for far more than $57.

Even at 1:72 scale, this model has created a full-sized battle.

Did The Nazis Build A UFO?

{ http://mysteriousuniverse.org/ }

In a new article at his A Different Perspective blog titled “A New Roswell Solution?” Kevin Randle says: “Well, we have a new solution to the Roswell case. No, it’s not a weather balloon as the Army Air Forces claimed in 1947 and no, it’s not a Project Mogul balloon that many skeptics and the Air Force have claimed, starting with Robert Todd in the early 1990s (or late 1980s) but something called a satelloon. This was, is, a huge polyethylene balloon that had been covered with a thin layer of aluminum to enhance the reflective properties and create a passive communications satellite or something like that.”

Although many people in Ufology believe (and want to believe) that aliens crashed outside of Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947, the fact is that balloons surface in many of the various theories for what happened on that fateful day in forty-seven. After first stating that they had recovered a flying disc, staff at the old Roswell Army Air Field said that the whole thing was a big mistake, and that what they had really found was a weather-balloon. In 1994, however, the government came up with a different theory.

In its report on the Roswell affair in 1994, the Government Accountability Office (at the time, the General Accounting Office) said: “DOD [Department of Defense] informed us that the U.S. Air Force report of July 1994, entitled Report of Air Force Research Regarding the Roswell Incident, represents the extent of DOD records or information concerning the Roswell crash. The Air Force report concluded that there was no dispute that something happened near Roswell in July 1947 and that all available official materials indicated the most likely source of the wreckage recovered was one of the project MOGUL balloon trains. At the time of the Roswell crash, project MOGUL was a highly classified U.S. effort to determine the state of Soviet nuclear weapons research using balloons that carried radar reflectors and acoustic sensors.”

In the early 2000s, Australian UFO researcher Keith Basterfield was given a story very close to that which appears in my 2017 book, The Roswell UFO Conspiracy. Namely, a controversial claim that human “test-subjects” were used in high-altitude balloon flights. Keith said of the story told to him by his informant: “The Americans were working on getting into space. Their biggest concern was getting back to Earth and landing without killing the people inside the space vehicle. Landing in water was not considered, but a ground landing was the order of the day. The Americans were experimenting with craft they dropped from ‘aircraft’ flying in the stratosphere. Also, gigantic balloons [italics mine] were being flown in the stratosphere to drop craft fitted with retrorockets and a drogue chute. The retrorocket was fitted with an altimeter to fire them close to the ground. Lots of UFO sightings were of these craft. The U.S. released bogus flying saucer sightings and later discredited them.”

Project Moby Dick balloon

Project Moby Dick (1952)

Mac Tonnies, in his book, The Cryptoterrestrials, pondered on the idea that perhaps the Roswell craft was flown by a race of ancient humans – a decaying, impoverished society that occasionally interacts with us. Mac, too, incorporated the balloon angle into his theory for Roswell. He said: “The device that crashed near Roswell in the summer of 1947, whatever it was, featured properties at least superficially like the high-altitude balloon trains ultimately cited as an explanation by the Air Force. Debunkers have, of course, seized on the lack of revealingly ‘high-tech’ components found among the debris to dismiss the possibility that the crash was anything but a case of misidentification; not even Maj. Jesse Marcel. the intelligence officer who advocated an ET origin for the unusual foil and structural beams, mentioned anything remotely resembling an engine or power-plant.”

Mac continued, in a fashion that emphasized the cryptoterrestrials may not be as scientifically and technologically advanced as they might prefer us to think they are: “The cryptoterrestrial hypothesis offers a speculative alternative: maybe the Roswell device wasn’t high-tech. It could indeed have been a balloon-borne surveillance device brought down in a storm, but it doesn’t logically follow that is was one of our own.”

In 1997, Jim Wilson – writing for Popular Mechanics – said that the magazine’s staff had been told of a forthcoming government report that would explain the matter of the bodies said to have been found on the Foster Ranch, Lincoln County, New Mexico in July 1947 – and that it would all revolve around a secret program involving Japan. Such a report did not ultimately surface. What did surface was the Air Force’s controversial report suggesting the bodies were actually crash-test dummies. But, apparently, Popular Mechanics were onto something. Wilson wrote that magazine staff suspected  “…the documents scheduled for future release will tell of a Japanese counterpart to Operation Paperclip. One of its purposes was to determine if the Japanese had constructed a suicide-piloted version of the Fugo  [balloon] incendiary bomb.”

Wilson continued it was the opinion of Popular Mechanics that “…the craft that crashed at Roswell will eventually be identified as either a U.S. attempt to re-engineer a second-generation Fugo, or a hybrid craft which uses both Fugo [balloon] lifting technology and Horten-inspired lifting-body. In either case, Japanese engineers and pilots brought to the U.S. after the war to work on the project could have been the dead ‘alien’ bodies recovered at the crash site.” This is very similar to many of the stories provided to me of a Japanese/balloon connection to Roswell.

Venus balloons

Then, there is the matter of one of the very few 100 percent real documents on Roswell. Namely, a July 8, 1947 FBI document (which you can find at this link at the FBI’s website, The Vault). It states, in part: “The disc is hexagonal in shape and was suspended from a balloon by cable, which balloon was approximately twenty feet in diameter. [Deleted] further advised that the object found resembles a high altitude weather balloon with a radar reflector, but that telephonic conversation between their office and Wright Field had not [deleted] borne out this belief. Disc and balloon being transported to Wright Field by special plane for examination. Information provided this office because of national interest in case.”

What we have with all of the above-accounts concerning Roswell is a link to balloons. Indeed, it’s pretty much the case that aside from (A) the extraterrestrial angle and (B) the controversial Stalin-Mengele story told in Annie Jacobsen’s 2011 book, Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base, balloons (whether large, small, secret, foreign, etc., etc.) pop up throughout the Roswell saga. In light of all this, I’m still very inclined to conclude that if the truth of Roswell does one day surface, it will have nothing to do with aliens, but everything to do with a classified program of a balloon-based nature – and with a “human test-subject” angle at its dark heart.

The Roswell Incident - UFO Documentary

In the late-1980s/early 1990s, rumors began to circulate among the aviation world that a highly secret, futuristic aircraft was being flown out of Area 51 – and under distinctly covert circumstances. The reportedly large, black-colored, triangular-shaped aircraft which could fly at incredible speeds, could outmaneuver just about anything else on the planet. It was rumored to be known as the Aurora. Officially, at least, and according to the U.S. Government, the Aurora does not exist and has never existed. But, that was once said about Area 51, too. So, with that in mind, we need to tread cautiously when it comes to official proclamations of the controversial type.

The story began – publicly, at least – in March 1990. That was when the well-respected magazine Aviation Week & Space Technology covered the story. They revealed that the term “Aurora” had appeared in the 1985 U.S. budget – and had possibly appeared by mistake, which makes sense if the program was so highly sensitive that its existence had to be denied at all costs. And talking of costs, it was rumored that around $455 million had been provided to those working out at Area 51 on secret, futuristic aircraft. AW&ST suspected that Aurora was a code-name for multiple kinds of aircraft that were both radical in design and technology. Other investigators, though, concluded that Aurora referred to just one type of aircraft. AW&ST learned that by 1987 the budget had soared to in excess of two billion dollars.

Bill Sweetman is one of the leading figures in the field of aviation and someone who took a deep interest in the Aurora saga. His books include F-22 Raptor, Inside the Stealth Bomber, and Soviet Air Power. And, then there is his 1993 book, Aurora: The Pentagon’s Secret Hypersonic Spyplane. Of the Aurora, Sweetman says: “Does Aurora exist? Years of pursuit have led me to believe that, yes, Aurora is most likely in active development, spurred on by recent advances that have allowed technology to catch up with the ambition that launched the program a generation ago.”

This was all very interesting for those who follow the world of exotic aircraft, such as Bill Sweetman and the staff of Aviation Wek and Space Technology – and it still is of interest to them. But, where was the evidence for the existence of Aurora? Was there any evidence? Yes, there was. And it came from a highly credible man with an impeccable background. His name is Chris Gibson.

It was in the summer of 1989 that Chris Gibson had what can accurately be termed the encounter of a lifetime. An engineer with an Honors degree in geology and someone who’s worked focused on oil-exploration, Gibson was also attached to the U.K.’s Royal Observer Corps. The work of the ROC – which closed down in December 1995, after seventy years of work to help protect the United Kingdom from attack – required its volunteers to keep a careful watch on the skies above and what was flying in those same skies, too.

As luck – or fate – would have it, and at the time when the Aurora program may very well have been compromised, Gibson was working on an oil rig in the North Sea. The name of the rig was the Galveston Key. It was August 1989, specifically, when one of Gibson’s colleagues, a friend named Graeme Winton, who went to university with Gibson, excitedly told Gibson to come with him to the deck. There was something Winton needed to show him.

A startled and amazed Gibson caught sight of something incredible in the skies above. A pair of General Dynamics’ F1-11 aircraft were shepherding a very strange-looking, completely black aircraft. And, a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker seemed to be fueling it. It was in the form of a triangle. For a moment or two, Gibson pondered on the possibility that what he and Winton were seeing was the F-117 stealth fighter. But, the design was clearly wrong. Aurora, maybe?

Since the 1980s, sightings of large, triangular-shaped UFOs, usually described as being black in color, making a low humming noise, and very often with rounded rather than angled corners, have been reported throughout the world. The sheer proliferation of such reports has led some ufological commentators to strongly suspect that the Flying Triangles (as they have come to be known) are prime examples of still-classified aircraft. Maybe the Aurora. Or, perhaps, something even more advanced.

Several places around the world are known to be home to mysterious hums or persistent low-frequency droning noises which seemingly have no source. While industrial operations are often thought to be the origins of these unexplained sounds, some scientists believe they may instead be the result of microseismic activity caused by the movement of deep-sea waves rolling across the ocean floor. The most well-known of these annoying and anomalous sounds is the Windsor Hum in Ontario, although Taos, New Mexico and Bristol, England are home to their own hums.

Could underwater waves cause the Earths crust to vibrate?

The latest mystery hum to join the chorus seems to originate from the Highland Park neighborhood outside of Rochester, New York. Dozens of reports of a bothersome low-frequency drone have been reported over the last several weeks, much to the dismay of sleepless residents. Some have even reported that they are unable to sleep or have had to move to the couch due to the ever-present drone.

One Rochester woman, Jeanette Cargill, describes the sound as a “low-pitched drone” or “sort of a rumble.” Cargill says unlike other hums which lie just at the threshold of human hearing, this one was powerful enough to be felt:

I heard a noise that was loud enough to shake the dishes in my house. It was continuous. It was audible also to my dog. She was perking her ears up and looking around. It almost sounded like thunder, like extended thunder.

Local newspaper Democrat & Chronicle contacted Ming-Lun Lee, an assistant professor in the Audio and Music Engineering Program at the University of Rochester, to record and analyze the noise so that it might possibly be identified. Lee has been unable to hear the elusive hum in person but has analyzed several recordings, finding that it lies somewhere between 315 and 320 Hertz – low, but well within the range of human hearing. Lee has compared those recordings with audio files of nearby industrial sources, but so far none of them has been found to emit the same range of frequencies as the hum.

Could this hum be yet another case of an anomalous Earth sound, or might it have a more prosaic origin? Like other mysterious hums, this one could likely elude researchers for years.
