Odd Fireball '40 times as bright as full moon' lights up Alabama sky
NASA has released video of "a very bright" fireball that lit up the sky over Alabama just after midnight Friday morning. The official time of sighting was 12:19 a.m. CDT.
The fireball, which is NASA's word for a very bright meteor, was described as "at least 40 times as bright as the Full Moon." It was first seen 58 miles above Turkeytown, Ala. northeast of Gadsden, according to NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at Huntsville's Marshall Space Flight Center.
The fireball was moving northwest at 53,700 miles per hour and fragmented about 18 miles above the small town of Grove Oak, NASA said.
"Early results indicate the (meteor) was caused by a small asteroid 6 feet in diameter," NASA said. "We are still assessing the probability of the fireball producing meteorites on the ground."
"Whether it did or not," NASA said, "it was an extremely bright event seen through partly cloudy skies and triggering every camera and sensor operated by the Meteroid Environment Office in the region."
NASA talks about one object (meteor) but there are two bright objects which seem to come together and then explode, which you can see in the first video.

Alien Orb Caught On Animal Forest Cam Observing Deer, Aug 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: August 17, 2018 Location of sighting: Bentonia, Mississippi, USA This report was just sent to me on Twitter messages by JB. This deer camera is an infrared cam. That means at night, infrared LEDs at the front of the cam light up the area in front of it for about 20-40 meters. The infrared LEDs light is invisible to the naked eye so humans and animals cannot see it. This technique of catching deer also happens to catch anything cloaked or not cloaked in the vicinity. Nothing can escape infrared. As you see from this alien orb that is spying on the feeding deer and their behavior. Orbs are used like humans use drones. Perhaps aliens may use them because our atmosphere is not safe for them to breath or our gravity, suns light or some other environmental phenomenon may harm them. So exploring with a drone seems much safer for a species that may live thousands or even millions of years in one lifetime. Scott C. Waring
The following story reports that some of the earliest galaxies ever formed are on our comics doorstep... I thought that relativity meant that looking at the oldest galaxies meant looking across the largest distances and vice versa due to expansion.. So can someone explain why 13 billion year old galaxies sit just out side the milky way when they should be 13 billion light years away.. I think?
The galaxies began to form when the universe was only about 100 million years old (Durham University/Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies/Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics)
they shut down big names on social media; especially ones that call out false flags. Aside from Alex Jones, they also nuked a bunch of libertarians and other accounts that you didn't notice because the mainstream media is focused on Jones.
they have a terror training camp teaching kids to do school shootings; all under FBI surveillance for a number of months. The sheriffs went into the camp against FBI orders, otherwise, we would have never heard of it.
they need a big false flag before midterms to distract from FBI/DOJ corruption, crashing currencies in emerging markets, and to take the guns.
I'm afraid they are going for their 'big move' soon. This may be the calm before the storm.

ESADe Aeolus gaat de wind observeren vanuit de ruimte.
WETENSCHAPEen hypermoderne windhaan, dat is een Europese satelliet die komende dinsdag vertrekt naar de ruimte. De Aeolus moet, vanop 320 kilometer hoogte, de wind op aarde in kaart gaan brengen. Want hoe die precies werkt, is nu nog een groot mysterie.
Om de wind te meten, stuurt de Aeolus laserbundels richting de aarde. De dampkring kaatst de stralen terug, maar onderweg verandert het signaal door wat de straal tegenkomt. Een speciaal computersysteem, dat door het Nederlandse meteorologisch instituut KNMI is ontworpen, kan aan de hand daarvan uitrekenen welke winden de straal onderweg is tegengekomen. Een ‘windprofiel’, noemt de ESA dat.
De satelliet gaat in anderhalf uur rond de aarde draaien, van de noordpool naar de zuidpool en weer terug. De aarde trekt langzaam onder hem langs, waardoor bij elke baan een ander stuk van de planeet in beeld komt. In een week tijd is de hele planeet in kaart gebracht. De missie van de Aeolus duurt op zijn minst drie jaar, maar er is genoeg brandstof aan boord voor nog twee jaar.
ESAEen beter beeld van de wind moet betere weerberichten opleveren
Het meten van de wind gebeurt nu nog door weerstations op de grond, zoals bij het KMI in Ukkel. Af en toe gaan weerballonnen de lucht in, en vliegtuigen geven na de landing door welke winden ze onderweg zijn tegengekomen. Het probleem is dat het allemaal momentopnamen zijn. We weten alleen hoe de wind op een bepaald moment op een bepaalde plek waait, zonder totaalbeeld. Hoe de wind waait boven ontwikkelde en dichtbevolkte gebieden als Europa en Noord-Amerika, is nog redelijk goed bekend, legt Martin Kaspers uit. De Nederlander is binnen de Europese ruimtevaartorganisatie ESA verantwoordelijk voor het goed functioneren van de Aeolus.
Gaten in gegevens
“Maar we hebben geen idee van de winden boven Afrika, Zuid-Amerika, de Noordpool en de Zuidpool. We weten niet hoe hoog de wind waait, hoe hard en in welke richting. Er zitten gaten in de gegevens”, aldus Kaspers. En dat terwijl ons weer daar deels ontstaat. Een beter beeld van de wind moet betere weerberichten opleveren. “Op den duur kan dat veel uitmaken”, stelt Kaspers. “Toen het weer na de recente hittegolf omsloeg, kwam er slecht weer aan. We kregen code oranje. Maar pas op het laatste moment wisten we of het slechte weer over het westen of het oosten van het land zou trekken.” Uiteindelijk bleek de overlast mee te vallen.
ESAAeolus gaat in anderhalf uur rond de aarde draaien
Onnodig alarm voorkomen
“Met betere gegevens kan je voorkomen dat je een alarm onnodig inzet. Stel dat het KNMI code geel uitgeeft en er gebeurt niets, zeggen mensen dat het flauwekul was. De volgende keer doe je het niet en blijkt het rampzalig. Met betere gegevens kan je beter anticiperen.” De metingen kunnen ook helpen bij orkanen als Irma en José, die vorig jaar over Sint-Maarten trokken. Kaspers: “Je kunt beter voorspellen welke gebieden je moet evacueren. En je voorkomt dat je hulpmiddelen inzet waar dat niet nodig is.”

WETENSCHAPIn het heelal bevinden zich talloze “waterwerelden” die volledig bedekt zijn met gigantische oceanen en mogelijk ook buitenaards leven herbergen, zo beweren astronomen. Uit nieuw onderzoek blijkt immers dat honderden planeten mogelijk bestaan uit de basisstoffen die essentieel zijn voor het ontstaan van leven.
Water is vermoedelijk een hoofdbestanddeel van exoplaneten – planeten buiten ons zonnestelsel – die twee tot vier keer groter zijn dan de aarde, zegt een groep van internationale wetenschappers. Hun bevindingen werden deze week voorgesteld tijdens de Goldschmidt Conference, een chemieconferentie in Boston.
Tot nu toe hebben wetenschappers ongeveer 4000 exoplaneten ontdekt. Volgens wetenschappers van Harvard zijn 35 procent van hen, in totaal zo’n 1400 planeten, mogelijk waterwerelden. Uit een nieuwe evaluatie van data van de Keplertelescoop, die het heelal afspeurt naar exoplaneten, en de ESA-ruimtelescoop Gaia, blijkt immers dat veel planeten tot 50 procent water kunnen bevatten. Dat is veel meer dan de aarde, waarvan water slechts 0,02 procent van het totale gewicht bedraagt.
Water is in feite een van de meest voorkomende stoffen in ons heelal.
Dr. Li Zeng, universiteit van Harvard
Verrassing
“Het was een enorme verrassing om te beseffen dat er zoveel waterwerelden zijn”, zegt hoofdonderzoeker dr. Li Zeng van de universiteit van Harvard. “Het is water, maar niet zoals we het hier gewoonlijk aantreffen op aarde. Hun oppervlaktetemperatuur bedraagt naar schatting 200 tot 500 graden Celsius”, zegt hij over de exoplaneten in kwestie. “Hun oppervlak is mogelijk gehuld in een atmosfeer die voornamelijk uit waterdamp bestaat, met een vloeibare waterlaag eronder. Dieper zal men dan naar verwachting ontdekken dat water is getransformeerd tot erg compact ijs vooraleer men de harde rotskern bereikt.”
Waar en wanneer de omstandigheden juist zijn, zal leven ontstaan en zich ontwikkelen.
Dr. Li Zeng, universiteit van Harvard
(Intelligent) leven?
“Men moet beseffen dat, hoewel water hier op aarde en andere planeten in ons zonnestelsel kostbaar en zeldzamer lijkt, het in feite een van de meest voorkomende stoffen in ons heelal is”, stelt Li Zeng.
“Leven kan een universeel fenomeen zijn”, beweert de wetenschapper. “Waar en wanneer de omstandigheden juist zijn, zal leven ontstaan en zich ontwikkelen. Het is een natuurlijk gevolg van energie en de informatiestroom in ons universum. Het leven kan zich ontwikkelen in bepaalde lagen nabij de oppervlakte van deze waterwereld, wanneer de druk, de temperatuur en de chemische omstandigheden juist zijn.”
De mogelijkheid bestaat dat ook intelligent leven zich zal ontwikkelen in een waterwereld. “De details kunnen verschillen van de ene planeet tot de andere, net zoals het leven op verschillende continenten op aarde wat van elkaar verschilt”, aldus Li Zeng.
Zijn vreemde cirkels in de lucht bewijs van eerdere universa die voor het onze bestonden? Deze wetenschappers denken van wel
Wetenschappers denken bewijs te hebben gevonden van eerdere universa, in de vorm van resten van zwarte gaten die uit een ander heelal zouden komen. Die zijn zichtbaar als vreemde cirkels aan de hemel.
Volgens een theorie doorloopt ons heelal verschillende stadia: het wordt geboren en uiteindelijk ook weer vernietigd. Deze theorie wordt ook wel ‘conformal cyclic cosmology’ (CCC) genoemd.
Tijdens dit proces wordt het grootste gedeelte van een universum vernietigd, maar wetenschappers claimen dat een deel van de elektromagnetische straling het recyclingproces overleeft.
Vorig universum
“Wat wij beweren is dat we resten zien van een zwart gat dat in een vorig universum is verwoest,” zei natuurkundige Roger Penrose van de Oxford-universiteit tegen New Scientist.
Het bewijs bestaat uit zogeheten ‘Hawking-punten’, vernoemd naar wijlen Stephen Hawking. Hij theoretiseerde dat zwarte gaten toch nog een beetje straling uitzenden, ook wel Hawkingstraling genoemd.
Penrose en zijn collega’s denken dat deze straling van het ene universum naar het andere wordt overgedragen.
Kleine cirkels
Op de kaart van de kosmische achtergrondstraling zien deze Hawking-punten eruit als kleine cirkels. Eerder werd gedacht dat ze werden veroorzaakt door zwaartekrachtgolven of interstellair stof.
De theorie van een universum dat steeds wordt gerecyclet is niet zonder controverse, aangezien er nog geen hard bewijs is gevonden voor Hawkingstraling of -punten.
Twee Amerikaanse piloten zagen een sigaarvormige UFO. Waarom vernietigde de luchtmacht het rapport?
Op 24 juli 1948 gebeurde er iets vreemds in de lucht boven de Amerikaanse staat Alabama. De overheid lanceerde in het diepste geheim een onderzoek, waarvan de resultaten uiteindelijk werden vernietigd.
Piloten Clarence S. Chiles en John B. Whitted waren op weg van Houston naar Atlanta toen ze boven Alabama een onbekend object zagen vliegen.
Hun waarneming leidde tot een topgeheim document van de luchtmacht waarin werd gesuggereerd dat sommige UFO’s ruimteschepen van andere werelden waren.
In het niets
Chiles zei in een officiële verklaring: “Er waren duidelijk geen vleugels te zien […] en er waren twee rijen met ramen, wat erop wees dat het twee verdiepingen had.”
“Je kon door de ramen heen een heel fel licht zien en onder het schip zat nog een blauw licht,” vervolgde hij.
Ze keken ongeveer 10 seconden naar het schip, voordat het recht voor hun ogen in het niets verdween.
Veel vaker
Whitted schreef in zijn officiële verklaring: “Het object was sigaarvormig en ongeveer 30 meter lang. Er waren twee rijen met ramen, twee verdiepingen. De ramen waren erg groot en vierkant.”
De piloten maakten tekeningen van het vaartuig en werden geïnterviewd door kranten en radiozenders.
Het bleek dat in de jaren ervoor veel vaker soortgelijke objecten waren waargenomen in de lucht.
Interplanetair
Onderzoekers van de Amerikaanse luchtmacht namen deze waarneming serieus omdat er twee gerespecteerde piloten bij betrokken waren die in de oorlog hadden gediend als officier.
Daarnaast waren ze zeer dicht in de buurt van het vreemde object gekomen.
Volgens Edward J. Ruppelt, een luchtmachtofficier, dachten de onderzoekers dat de UFO’s interplanetair waren.
Verbrand
Het rapport bereikte uiteindelijk stafchef Hoyt S. Vandenberg, maar die geloofde niet dat ze van andere planeten kwamen.
“Een groep mensen van het Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) probeerde de stafchef tevergeefs te overtuigen,” zei Ruppelt.
“Enkele maanden later werd het rapport verbrand,” vervolgde hij.
Meest controversiële
Vandenberg was er persoonlijk van overtuigd dat UFO’s werden gemaakt door de Sovjet-Unie.
Vanwege het gebrek aan transparantie is dit incident één van de meest controversiële UFO-waarnemingen in de geschiedenis.
TURKSE LUCHTMACHT SCHIET UFO UIT DE LUCHT ( VIDEO )
Er is weer de nodige commotie binnen de UFO gemeenschap omdat er beelden zijn opgedoken van een UFO die uit de lucht wordt geschoten.
Het gebeurde in Turkije en de beelden lijken behoorlijk overtuigend, hoewel dat tegenwoordig ook weer niet alles zegt.
Via een aantal grote UFO kanalen zijn beelden te zien die toch wel heel spectaculair zijn.
Het is een korte video die klaarblijkelijk is opgenomen boven Turkije en het beeld is zo te zien van een druk bezochte plek in een stad op een zomeravond.
Opeens verschijnt er een snel vliegend rond object in beeld en hoor je ook het gebrul van staalmotoren van één of meerdere militaire jets.
Vervolgens explodeert de UFO, komt er ook een deel op de grond terecht, zie je een zwarte wolk en mensen die krijsend alle kanten op vluchten.
Wanneer de explosie plaatsvindt, wordt ook de filmer bijna ondersteboven geblazen en wat het ook is wat daar gebeurt, de beelden en de opname lijken echt.
Ook het kanaal waar deze video op is gepubliceerd is er niet één waar normaal gesproken zaken over UFO’s verschijnen, maar gewone alledaagse huis tuin en keuken dingen.
Volgens ufoloog Scott Waring is hier absoluut sprake van een UFO en niet van een raket of iets dergelijks omdat er anders een spoor van rook te zien zou zijn. Ook wijst hij op het feit dat het type UFO dat we hier zien er één is die veel wordt gesignaleerd op diverse plekken.
En als laatste geeft hij een waarschuwing dat als de Turken hier inderdaad een UFO uit de lucht hebben geknald ze heel gevaarlijk bezig zijn, omdat je op deze manier heel gemakkelijk een oorlog met buitenaardsen kunt uitlokken.
Is hier inderdaad sprake van een UFO die uit de lucht wordt geknald of toch iets anders?
George HW Bush Doctor Killed To Prevent Him From Revealing Truth About Aliens, UFO Sighting News.
Evidence that confirms the CIA killed the doctor to prevent him from publishing a book about being the US presidents physician and the classified talks they had about him piloting a 300 meter long UFO. His death was made to send a message to the publisher who probably was waiting for the book transcript or was already reviewing it. Can the doctor of the US president write a book? Of course and some have, such as White House doctor Connie Mariano who worked for President Clinton. Why would the former US president reveal secrets to the doctor? Easy, Because George HW Bush was elderly (age 94 now) and super proud of his son about one single act of father and son love and their passion to fly. The son wanted to be just like his dad in all ways from piloting to being US president. Why was the doctor killed? Because on January 8, 2008, US President George W Bush, a military jet pilot made the bullheaded decision to fly an ultra top secret USAF 300 meter long spacecraft made with alien technology. Why? To impress his father (former US President George HW Bush, former military pilot who was living in the famous Bush Ranch at the time.
You see, President Bush was near the top secret US military base in the Black Sea off of Turkey that week. All Evidence points to Bush being in the Middle East during this time. Bush Timeline Here. January 8, 2008: President Bush releases a statement noting that the following day will be the third anniversary of the signing of the comprehensive peace agreement in Sudan and states the commitment on the part of the US to continuing to adhere to the agreement. January 9, 2008: President Bush attends the welcoming ceremony at the Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, Israel during the afternoon. January 10, 2008: President Bush delivers an address at the King David Hotel, Jerusalem on the peace process in the Middle East during the afternoon. You see, 200-300 meter UFOs have been seen at an island in the Sea of Marmara off of Turkey. Just 700 miles from the King Davide Hotel. Dozens of hours of night footage recorded by a security guard don't lie. (video below).
I don't believe that the suspected killer Joseph James Pappas (age 65) did it by himself, but was programmed by CIA phychologists to do the assassination. The CIA created a program called MKUltra which was a secret project to gain mind control of anyone. As proof, I am include a page from the declassified MLUltra report below. Which is 100% proof the organisation existed from 1953 to 1977, but changes its name and went on to become an assassination programming unit afterwords. They are responsible for JFKs assassination. Click here to learn about MKUltra project. Also Project Artichoke, Project Operation Midnight Climax, Project MKNAOMI,Operation Pandora, BLUEBIRD, MKOFTEN, was also a CIA mind control project. The CIA picked Joseph James Pappas because his mother died in the doctors care 20 years earlier, he had a motive...the CIA programming unit needed a suspect like this. This and his police and weapons experience made him perfect for the program. The CIA took him and mentally programmed him to do, think and act a certain way...and at the end to kill himself. So all evidence is gone. The CIA did their job well. The CIA had to kill off President Bushes doctor, because Bush leaked many details about the alien tech USAF 300 meter ship he flew to the doctor. And there is numerous doctors of presidents who wrote books about it...the CIA knew that the doctor was going to write such a book or had already submitted a book for publication, and wanted to send a message to the family and to the publisher to be quiet. This is why doctor Mark Hassknecht was assassinated by a CIA mind controlled Joseph James Pappas. Joseph didn't want to do it, but the CIA programmed him to be a puppet to kill for them and then to kill himself to destroy the evidence. This is the truth, nothing but the truth, so help me god.

Astronaut Snaps 'Mind-Blowing' Aurora Picture from Space
By Meghan Bartels, Space.com Senior Writer

Most of us are lucky to catch a glimpse of a stunning aurora painting the skies once or twice in our lives.
But living on the International Space Station has a curious side effect, giving astronauts incredible odds of spotting the beautiful phenomenon. European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst has been aboard the space station since June as part of his second trip to space, and on Aug. 10, he shared incredible photos of the bright green waves as seen from above. "Mind-blowing, every single time," he wrote in a tweet accompanying the photo.
Alexander Gerst✔@Astro_Alex
Mind-blowing, every single time. I wonder what early explorers thought when they first saw an aurora without ever having heard about it... #ExploreFarther#Horizons
Auroras, also known as the northern and southern lights, are caused by charged particles streaming out of the sun that eventually hit Earth's atmosphere, according to NASA. There, the particles interact with oxygen and nitrogen molecules to produce light. The result is a ghostly green wave dancing across the sky near the poles.
But while auroras are beautiful, particles streaming off the sun can have plenty of less aesthetic consequences. They can put astronaut health at risk, damage satellites in orbit around the Earth and, in the most severe cases, cause blackouts in terrestrial power grids.
That's part of why NASA is so excited about its newest mission, the Parker Solar Probe, which launched toward the sun on Sunday (Aug. 12). Once the spacecraft arrives at our star later this year, it will study the highly charged particles that leave the sun and end up in our neighborhood.
Parker can't give us more auroras, but if it can help scientists better understand and predict the sun's activities, it might help people be in the right place at the right time to see the stunning view.
Yleem Poblete, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance, raised the concerns about the Russian “space apparatus inspector” at a meeting of the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, Switzerland on Aug. 14, 2018. Russia publicly announced the launch of this satellite in June 2017, but insists that its only function is to inspect the country’s own space-based systems for damage or other possible issues and potentially service and repair them.
The Russian satellite’s “behavior on-orbit was inconsistent with anything seen before from on-orbit inspection or space situational awareness capabilities, including other Russian inspection satellite activities,” Poblete said at the gathering. “We are concerned with what appears to be very abnormal behavior by a declared ‘space apparatus inspector.’ We don’t know for certain what it is and there is no way to verify it.”
When Poblete mentioned “other” activities, she was likely referring to three additional inspector satellites that the Russians launched between 2013 and 2015. These space-based systems, also known as Kosmos-2491, Kosmos-2499, and Kosmos-2504, conducted a number of apparent tests, getting relatively close to various pieces of space debris, before going dormant in 2016. The next year, Russia turned one of them back on and sent it near to a portion of a Chinese weather satellite, which that country had destroyed in a ground-based anti-satellite test in 2007.
The video below, from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, shows one concept for using a small repair satellite to service other space-based systems.
Now it’s important to note that the concept of a small inspector satellite isn’t new and makes good sense. Sending manned missions to examine satellites and other space objects and potentially make repairs or modifications has historically been costly and complicated.
At the same time, fixing or making modifications to a satellite in space saves the trouble of building a replacement and paying to launch it into orbit. Famously, the United States sent astronauts to fix the Hubble Space Telescopein 1993 after NASA discovered a fault in the system’s main mirror.
Having a semi-autonomous, space-based repair crew of sorts on call could simplify the arrangement significantly. If nothing else, these robotic inspectors could assess the issue quickly so personnel on the ground could make an informed decision about how to proceed.
The problem is that any satellite that can maneuver itself very close to another one, and may have small arms or probes to physically interact with its target, is inherently capable of being a weapon. Any such repair system could easily smash sensitive optics and other components, or simply slam into the target, acting as a kinetic weapon. Their small size means that their terrestrial operators might be able to instruct them to try to hide near other objects, especially among the ever-expanding field of "space junk" floating around the earth, as well.
A notional Robotic Servicing Vehicle that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has been working on. This kind of space-based system could also function as a weapon.
They might also be able to carry electronic warfare jammers or directed energy weapons that could blind optics or prevent a satellite from communicating information, including warnings about incoming missiles or vital intelligence data, to facilities down below. The “inspectors” could act as small intelligence agents, intercepting transmissions aimed at space-based communications systems. In that case, they might potentially send out spoofed signals with confusing messages or false navigational coordinates, as well.
Russia has since denounced Assistant Secretary of State Poblete’s comments as “unfounded, slanderous accusations based on suspicions.” However, statements from the country’s own Ministry of Defense regarding their newest inspector’s rendezvous with Kosmos-2519, another military satellite that itself has an unknown mission, strongly indicate that this satellite has a robust set of capabilities that could have a secondary military application.
“In trials involving controlling the maneuvering defense satellite, ground, and orbital communication systems were tested, and methods involving ballistic estimates and new software were employed,” Russia’s Izvestia newspaper reported based on information from the Ministry of Defense. “The space forces proved their ability to ensure the satellite's automatic undocking from the platform, the remote control of its flight, and the activation of the satellite payload, including surveillance hardware, data transfer to Earth, and data processing.”
For years, experts and others, including us at The War Zone, have pointed out the clear threat that these dual-use satellites might pose. The United States and China have and still are both actively exploring advanced space-based inspector-type systems, as well, which might set the stage for an even more complex situation that could involve groups of small satellites attacking and defending against each other. The U.S. military is also working on cost-effective, reusable hypersonic space planes, including the U.S. Air Force's secretive X-37B, that could rapidly deploy small satellites for various functions or otherwise perform their own offensive missions in space.
The US Air Force's X-37B space plane.
“The potential for a serious incident in outer space is being driven by advances in technology that challenge the existing rules and norms governing space activity,” Jeffery Lewis, now in charge of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, wrote all the way back in 2004. “Micro-satellite proximity operations would be best regulated with confidence-building measures in outer space.”
More than a decade on, international rules and regulations have yet to catch up with these continued developments. Assistant Secretary of State Poblete made her comments earlier in August 2014 specifically to underscore the U.S. government’s continued opposition to a Russian-Chinese proposal for a Treaty on Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space and of the Threat or Use of Force Against Outer Space Objects, conveniently abbreviated PWTT.
“How do we verify what countries say their spacecraft are doing?” she asked rhetorically. “What would be enough information to prove what the purpose of an object is?”
US Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance Yleem Poblete.
The U.S. government’s position is that the PWTT is not sufficient because it does not explicitly prohibit the development or test of space-based systems, such as the inspectors, with a potential anti-satellite role. This could let countries stockpile a “breakout capability” if they ever decided to abandon the agreement.
The proposed agreement also does not ban ground-based or air-launched anti-satellite systems, which Russia and China have been developing, as well. In February 2018, the Chinese military tested what they described as an anti-ballistic missile defense interceptor, but which might be a cover for an anti-satellite weapon. Russia has publicly said that it is working on anti-satellite interceptors and directed energy weapons.
Russia and China, as well as other critics of the American position, counter by noting that the U.S. government is actively looking to militarize space and put actual weapons into orbit, ostensibly for anti-ballistic missile defense. The two countries have already responded negatively to the U.S. military’s plans for a possible space-focused military branch.
A Russian Beriev A-60 aircraft, which carries a laser weapon in its nose and that Russia has said may be able to blind or otherwise disable enemy satellites.
Without any such agreement, what constitutes an attack on a nation’s interest in space has remained up for debate. It’s a gray area made more complicated by the likelihood that the United States and its potential opponents have satellites in orbit that they don’t acknowledge are vital to national security or are up there at all.
“Is jamming an attack? Is a laser an attack? Does it have to be a kinetic hit on a satellite to be an attack?” Douglas Loverro, then-Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy, asked during a talk in 2016. “It’s really difficult to go ahead and justify how you might attack somebody’s homeland if they’ve taken out a satellite that you don’t even admit exists.”
Unfortunately, it is clear that basic definitions of what constitutes conflict in space, if nothing else, are necessary now, more than ever. Without them, there is only an increasing possibility for dangerous miscalculations.
The activities of Russia’s latest inspector satellite, China’s own anti-satellite developments, and the United States’ plans for space-based ballistic missile defense weapons all show that these issues will only continue to become more pronounced in the future, whether there is any sort of international treaty that seeks to govern military activity in space or not.
The Black Knight is allegedly an extraterrestrial satellite that has traveled in a polar orbit around the Earth for an estimated 13,000 years.
In 1899, Nikola Tesla is said to be one of the first to pick up the signal of the satellite during his radio experiments. However, some experts have suggested that Tesla actually received signals from pulsars (neutron stars) and misinterpreted his findings.
Since then, there have been many stories attributed to the Black Knight but they seem to be a hodge-podge of singular instances and events that don’t correlate with one another. Even the name “black knight” has no traceable origin story.
The picture above was taken by NASA in 1998 and is considered irrefutable evidence that the Black Knight satellite exists. Though, the official story from NASA reveals that the dark object is mere space debris. It’s said to be a piece of a thermal blanket that escaped during an EVA mission.
When I first heard of the Black Knight satellite I really wanted to believe that it existed. I’ve done a ton of research hoping that I would find some kind of evidence that the extraterrestrial satellite does, in fact, exist. To my disappointment, nothing really stood out for me. The stories and events around the satellite have no cohesive thread. (If you want to read a super comprehensive article about the history of the Black Knight and how it relates to other UFO sightings read this article: The Black Knight Sattelite: Sentinel from Space.)
The instances described to be Black Knight related could be attributed to other anomalies or paranormal events. Much of the picture “evidence” looks obviously doctored. The picture below is supposed to be a screenshot from an alleged short video of the Columbia space shuttle in the same orbit as the Black Knight satellite. You can check out one of the incarnations of the video here.
Unfortunately, the video and this picture look like a copy-and-paste job. The satellite does not move and it looks suspiciously like the object in the NASA picture turned slightly so that it’s at a different angle.
Nowhere, in any of the video descriptions did I find any kind of source cited for where this video came from or if NASA had officially released it. That, in itself, is highly suspect. NASA has a history of releasing statements for any footage or pictures that even tiptoes into the fringe arena. They like to prove people wrong.
If you want to know more about the NASA photo then check out the video below. There’s footage of the thermal blanket (that’s supposedly in the NASA picture above) escaping into space. So, you can make your own judgment about whether the NASA picture and the thermal blanket are the same thing.
I’m always skeptical of NASA’s “explanations” so I’m not entirely sure if I believe that the 1998 photo is the thermal blanket they claim. However, in my mind, there definitely was a resemblance and I could see how that official story got attached to the picture.
I can’t say for certain I believe in the Black Knight. I’m more inclined to think that it’s a cool mythology strung together through the retelling of random paranormal accounts and some really cool NASA pictures of space debris. Decide for yourself.
Mysterious X-37B Military Space Plane Nears 1 Year in Orbit

The U.S. Air Force's X-37B miniature space plane has winged past 340 days in orbit performing secretive duties during the program's fifth flight.
The robotic craft's latest mission, known as Orbital Test Vehicle-5 (OTV-5), kicked off on Sept. 7, 2017, with a launch atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida.
As usual, Air Force officials have revealed few details about OTV-5. But we do know that one payload flying aboard the X-37B this time around is the Advanced Structurally Embedded Thermal Spreader, or ASETS-11. Developed by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, this cargo is testing experimental electronics and oscillating heat pipes for long durations in the space environment. [The X-37B Space Plane: 6 Surprising Facts]
Record-setting history
The classified X-37B program "fleet" consists of two known reusable vehicles, both of which were built by Boeing. Looking like a miniature version of NASA's now-retired space shuttle orbiter, the military space plane is 29 feet (8.8 meters) long and 9.6 feet (2.9 m) tall, with a wingspan of nearly 15 feet (4.6 m).
The X-37B has a payload bay about the size of a pickup-truck bed, which can be outfitted with a robotic arm. The space plane has a launch weight of 11,000 lbs. (4,990 kilograms) and is powered on orbit by gallium-arsenide solar cells with lithium-ion batteries.
Each X-37B mission has set a new flight-duration record for the program:
OTV-1 began April 22, 2010, and concluded on Dec. 3, 2010, after 224 days in orbit.
OTV-2 began March 5, 2011, and concluded on June 16, 2012, after 468 days on orbit.
OTV-3 chalked up nearly 675 days in orbit before finally coming down on Oct. 17, 2014.
OTV-4 conducted on-orbit experiments for 718 days during its mission, extending the total number of days spent in space for the OTV program to 2,085 days.
How long OTV-5 will stay aloft is unknown. Whenever it comes down, the robotic vehicle is likely to land at KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility, as the OTV-4 mission did back on May 7, 2017. That was a first for the program. All prior missions had ended with a tarmac touchdown at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Ground tracks
Ted Molczan, a Toronto-based satellite analyst, told Inside Outer Space that OTV-5's initial orbit was about 220 miles (355 kilometers) high, inclined 54.5 degrees to the equator. "Its ground track nearly repeated every two days, after 31 revolutions," he said.
On April 19, the space drone lowered its orbit by 24 miles (39 km), which caused its ground track to exactly repeat every five days, after 78 revolutions, Molczan said — a first for an OTV mission.
"Repeating ground tracks are very common," Molczan added, "especially for spacecraft that observe the Earth. That said, I do not know why OTV has repeating ground tracks."
"Ironically, the X-37B is exactly the type of program — toward giving the U.S. flexibility of operations in space — that seems to be prompting the current push for a Space Force, yet are already underway," said Joan Johnson-Freese, a professor in the National Security Affairs Department at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.

Aliens are among us. The authorities remain silent
The question whether aliens are already among us is increasingly often asked. The scientific world consider this option increasingly serious. Frank Drake is an astronomer than in the early 60 developed a famous formula, which can estimate the potential number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy.
Drake is considered the first radio – astronomer who tried to listen to the signals coming from space. He was a pioneer in the ufologist. He wasn’t supported in his approach, moreover, his studies were not considered by the scientific world.
The research for extraterrestrial phenomena began in 1947, when in the US and Australia were many appearances of UFOs. Experts claim that UFOs appear particularly close to the intersection lines of earthly force. Another area in which appearences were common is that of some sites considered sacred.
Is not known if it’s coincidence or not. Authorities and institutions responsible in this regard, continues to lead policy of not explaining what is happening. Much of the personalities who have dealt with extraterrestrial phenomena had a mysterious deaths, in some cases even talking about murder.
In march 2014, a former government adviser named Hood, made a statement that makes us ponder. He has provided a list of big ufologists who died in, at least strange, circumstances . Many have been found hanged, others shot, others had a heart attack at the age of 30. All investigations into these deaths were made in haste, cases being closed.
We present a case that occurred in 1959 in the Ural Mountains of Russia, which has remained a mystery, although many years have passed and teams of specialists were involved to determine the cause of this tragic event. Ten students from the Polytechnic University along with a guide started a hike in the Urals. For health reasons, one of the students could not cope with the walk and went back to town. The tudents were athletes, climbers and very good skiers.
Because the students have not returned to the city, as it was established, another group goes in search of them. Were all found dead.
The bodies had orange colour, the hair was white, although they were under 25 years, and two of the bodies had the tongue cut off. The bodies were found at a distance of one kilometer from where they had set up the camp. What cause these young people to leave the camp in a hurry? There has been many speculations. Maybe they were attacked by an animal, military experience or aliens?
At the site of the tragedy were no traces of a fight. One clue was clear. The camp was abandoned in a hurry, all personal belongings and also food, had been abandoned in the tents. The orange color of the bodies skin is due to a strong radiation to which they were subjected, say some experts. One of the bodies presented a hit in the chest.
Doctors claim that such a hit could not be made by a human. The impact and shot were so high that doctors have concluded that only a superhuman force could do this.
After two months, the case is closed and classified confidential because weren’t discovered evidence to clarify the investigation. For three years, the military has banned the tourists and skiers to get in that area.
The thesis of a military accident did not lead to a result. First, the nearest military base was located at a distance of 600 km, and at the place were not found traces that would’ve been an explosion or another type of chemical accident. The fact that the authorities cover up such cases, see Roswell case, USA, makes us to ask whether aliens are among us.
What in the world is going on at the New York Times? Did you happen to catch its latest pass at UFOs? They’ve shrunk from breaking the biggest related story in memory back in December to dribbling out the sort of featherweight beginners blog fare that appeared on Aug. 3. How does this happen? Who’s running the show?
All appearances aside, De Void really doesn’t like to rant. It’s usually juvenile and rarely cathartic. Plus it never changes anything. But this, this, this thing that ran in the Times two weeks ago belongs in a truly special category of regression, like four-legged tadpoles deciding they’d rather revert to gills than take their chances on lungs and land. Normally you see formula writing of this caliber farmed out to Newsweek interns, or maybe to poor overworked Wiki-trolling legacy-media newbies pressured to generate quick traffic in off-peak hours.
Questionable judgment can sometimes be amusing — but not always/

Eight months ago, the Times startled the world by exposing the Pentagon’s $22M UFO research initiative, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. But despite intense reader interest in the 2004 Nimitz incident, in which at least one UFO was videotaped by a Top Gun F-18 pilot who was thoroughly outmaneuvered, the Times hasn’t done a lick of followup.
But suddenly, on Aug. 3, from out of nowhere, without any news peg whatsoever, with no anniversary date that ends in a 0 or a 5, or any additional eyewitnesses or supporting documentation, the Times decided to dust off a moldy oldie from 1952. It’s one of the most famous cases, involving UFOs that buzzed the nation’s capital on consecutive weekends in July that year. Perhaps feeling the need to justify recapping this old story, reporter Laura M. Holson tossed in a few quasi-newsy cultural references in the third graph, e.g., Gillian “X-Files” Anderson’s upcoming role in a UFO movie next month, and a planned reboot of the “Men In Black” franchise.
The only new voice Holson brings to light is the 68-year-old daughter of a commercial pilot who saw UFOs during one of those summer night incursions in ‘52. Too young to remember the event, Faith McClory tells the Times “My sister has memories of men (reporters) coming to our home. People were enthralled with the flying saucers.”
Her sister. Fascinating. Do go on.
“It should be noted,” the Times tells readers, “that the term U.F.O., as used by the government, does not mean extraterrestrials from outer space. It means any object in the sky that has not been identified.” Whoa, wait, what? It doesn’t mean Martians? Since, like, when? “When asked recently about the 1952 Washington sightings, Ann Stefanek, chief of media operations for the Air Force, wrote in an email that” – now this should be interesting, a PIO who probably wasn’t even born in 1952, I wonder what she’ll say – “the objects had posed no threat to national security.
OK, yo, hold up. What’s with the periods between U.F.O.? Is this another formalistic brand quirk like using a proper salutation before each and every surname reference, no matter how undeserving or grotesque? Before boiling Mr. Doe’s flayed skull in acid, Mr. Dahmer cued up Air Supply’s “All Out of Love” and contemplated refreshing his spice rack. Does anyone else but the Times put periods between UFO? It’s distracting. It’s so distracting I haven’t finished my rant yet. Back to it:
“The events in Washington were not the first unexplained encounter report. Debris from what observers called a ‘flying disc’ had been spotted in Roswell, N.M., five years earlier, which Army officials said was from a ‘weather balloon.’” Wow! Interesting! I wonder if anybody claimed to have picked up any of that Roswell stuff. Hm. “By 1952, though, a number of sightings of U.F.O.s were being reported across the country and the nation was on edge.”
OK, look, I can’t hang with this anymore. The thing ends with how the USAF’s official explanation of the July ’52 phenomena was temperature inversions, a hand-rinse that’s only been out there for 66 years. And this article – “A Radar Blip, a Flash of Light: How U.F.O.s ‘Exploded’ Into Public View” – ran under the Times’ heading “Science.” Even as the Times continues to ignore the continuing expansion of the story it set into motion.
The Times’ reluctance to revisit its game-changing coup got even weirder yesterday with its publication of yet another “U.F.O.” story, dateline Los Angeles, titled “They’ve ‘Seen Things.’” It’s about a guy named Robert Bingham who has attracted a considerable following for his alleged ability to “summon” UFOs into view. Not insignificantly, this piece actually references its own reporting into the Nimitz incident, but steers well clear of updating that story. Otherwise, this is just another garden-variety piece on “believers.”
So to reiterate: Who’s calling the shots on UFO coverage back in New York? Was the inclusion of the Times’ scoop on the Nimitz incident in Tuesday’s profile of Bingham a reporter’s dog whistle for management to get its s*%# together? If the Times has had a change of heart on going deep with UFOs, why bother with the sort of innocuous filler it ran on Aug. 3, or a personality piece that won’t move anybody’s bar on standards of evidence? When it comes to shepherding material with this amount of public interest from the fringe to the mainstream, the Times’ news judgement is looking more incoherent by the month.
After 3 UFO encounters, retired educator and Nogal resident calls himself a believer

Richard “Bill” Thorp has lived in Lincoln County 31 years, he’s a retired educator and past vice president of the Lincoln County Historical Society. He also claims to have encountered unidentified flying objects three times, twice in the Nogal area and twice when others saw the phenomena too.
“The second experience was thrilling. I wish I could experience it again over and over,” he said Monday. “I am a believer.”
The first sighting
The first encounter occurred in 1953, when Thorp was working as a roustabout in the oilfields around Loco Hills, a small village 25 miles east of Artesia, where he had graduated from high school. He’d worked in that capacity since he was 16, but two years later still was the youngest at the job rod and tubing on the Caprock about eight miles south of Maljamar.
“The driller had stopped the machine and suggested we get a drink” a short distance away where the water was sitting in a truck. When the break was over and everyone moved back to the platform, Thorp returned to the truck where he had forgotten his gloves. As he turned to join the crew, “There it was,” he said. “Coming out of the southwestern sky at an unbelievable rate of speed was a small dish-shaped object. The disk was shiny and bright, but strangely appeared to be tumbling end-over-end in the sky. It was alternating from shiny bright to less bright over and over. It did this until it went out of sight in the northeastern sky.”
The whole experience took less than six seconds and he didn’t mention it to his fellow workers. He knew it wasn’t a satellite, because Sputnik, the first Russian satellite was not launched until years later.
“This was July 1953,” he said. “Everyone was aware that flying saucers might exist, because of the Roswell incident, which happened just a few years before in 1947.”
A UFO crashed near Corona. The debris and some say bodies of aliens were transported to Walker Air Force base in Roswell. The military later claimed the object was a weather balloon, but many dispute that statement, including descendants of Major Jesse Marcel Sr., an intelligence officer at Walker, who insisted the debris and bodies were not from earth.
The second sighting
Retired educator Bill Thorp says a UFO descended toward the Carrizo Mountains near his New Mexico home.
Ruidoso News
The second incident was in 2000, and took place on the front deck of Thorp’s home in Nogal.
“This incident was much closer, perhaps as close as 1,000 feet,” Thorp said. “It traveled at a fantastic rate of speed, but much slower than the first. I had time to look, to analyze, to calibrate. But perhaps the best thing about the second sighting was that I had a witness. This thing passed directly over my house. My wife, Beverly was standing beside me and she witnessed everything.”
His wife is known for not embellishing a story, he said.
The incident occurred about 10:35 p.m., because the couple just watched local news from Albuquerque. Thorp went out to the front porch to soaked in the cloudless night with bright stars and a new moon. Their house sits at 7,300 feet elevation and the stars added just enough light to silhouette every mountain range and landmark for 20 miles, Thorp said. Carrizo Peak is nearly due north from their house and between the house and the peak is an 18-mile wide valley.
“As I stood admiring the silhouette of the Carrizo Mountains, suddenly coming up from behind the main peak there appeared three lights that (seemed to) clear the peak by perhaps 500 feet,” Thorp said.
He knew from the space between the lights and their brightness, it was not a plane from Holloman Air Force Base. He called to his wife.
“We stood together and watched the object as it approached us with an incredible speed,” he said. “In just a few seconds, another light appeared.”
They determined the object was diamond-shape, because it blocked out the stars. An intense white light was on the front point of the diamond, with another on the back point. Two green lights were on the side points and a red light was located in the middle on the underside of the diamond, he said.
The couple was struck that the craft seemed to be using their house as a beacon, he said. They wondered if the building materials that came from Walker Air Force Base might have retained some sort of fingerprint. As it approached the house, they never moved or looked to the right or left, they just kept bending their heads and necks straight back until the craft went out of sight over their house. They immediately ran to the back deck upstairs on the opposite side of the home.
“As we reached the back deck, it was still in sight and was very low heading directly toward the soft glow of lights given off by the village of Ruidoso,” Thorp said.
He estimated that the object began to descend over Carrizo Peak at 9,656 feet. and over their house at about 8,000 feet, which is 700 feet above their house.
“It was a huge flying object, not to be estimated in feet,” Thorp said. “I would estimate the width to be between a quarter of a mile to a half mile,” at the widest point. Even more startling, the passage was almost silent.
“There was no jet sound, nor any sign of a jet wash, no movement of air, no sonic boom,” he said. “There was one faint sound. If you listened closely, there was a very faint hum.” The type of propulsion was unknown on earth, he concluded.
The Thorps thought surely others would see the craft and there would be reports in the newspaper or on radio and television, but nothing appeared. They talked to another person, who said she saw the craft and lives in a direct line two miles south of the Thorps. The woman described the exact shape and lights. The couple looked all summer, but the craft never returned.
The third sighting
The last incident happened at 9:15 p.m. May 11, 2015, as Thorp, his wife and their youngest daughter, Bonnabeth, were about five miles from home returning from Las Vegas, Nev. They were on the alert, because driving at night meant wildlife could be near or on the road.
“Bev was the first to see it,” Thorp said. She saw a single large amber light high in the sky, but soon all three were straining to look through the windshield or out the windows of the car as six brilliant large amber lights appeared in a straight-line. They seemed to be in pairs with a slight separation between each twosome.
“The lights were close, probably within 500 feet to 1,000 feet above the ground,” Thorp said. He pulled the car off the road at the first safe place to get a better view.
“I thought it was very unusual that the lights never broke their formation,” he said. “They were pretty round and perfectly distinct from one another, there was no diffusion of light rays that you see when lights are in the distance.”
Then as if all were controlled by one source, they went off. The sky went black.
“If I had to make a judgment, I would say they were not observation lights, but the cabin lights of a craft,” Thorp said.
He pulled back on the road and started home again when two lights reappeared, this time in the eastern sly on the left side of the highway. They weren’t moving and went out after about four seconds. Twenty seconds later, the lights came on again. Thorp believes they were viewing multiple crafts, again with absolutely no sound.
The women were a bit unsettled by the experience and considered the lights ominous and unfriendly. When they reached the house, they propped chairs up against the doors.
“If these beings had the technology to travel from planet to planet, they probable can overcome the technology of small wooden chairs propped up against doors,” Thorp told them.
Within days, the Thorps spoke to two other people in the area who said they also witnessed the lights. His daughter pulled up background on the Internet about the Phoenix Lights that appeared in March 1997. Descriptions were extremely similar. It turned out, that literally thousands of such sighting have been reported over the planet. Authorities have dismissed most as either natural phenomena or military.
But Thorp said he doesn’t believe they were natural, some sort of fragment from the borealis, a reflection of his own headlights, an airplane, a satellite or secret military testing. While he expects family and friends to believe what he’s described, he doesn’t expect those from the outside to accept the experiences.
“Like most people in the world, seeing is believing and if they don’t see it, they don’t believe it,” he said. “Just don’t tell me that I saw an airplane. I’m 83 years old and I know what an airplane looks like. I also know what one sounds like.”

In August 1951 a series of unusual lights appeared in the night sky over a Texas city for weeks before disappearing and they have never been seen again.
The unexplainable and erratic nature of the bright beams terrified the residents and grainy images of the event still capture the attention of conspiracy theorists today.
The lights were first sighted on August 25 in Lubbock by a group of scientists that were hanging out in a colleagues backyard one evening, reports news.com.au.
At around 9.20pm the group all witnessed something that they couldn't explain: 15 to 30 bright blueish-green lights appeared in the sky and silently whizzed overhead in a V-formation.
Grainy photos claim to show the Lubbock Lights.

They disappeared just as quickly as they had come but appeared again an hour later, this time in a more scattered shape.
Over the next few weeks hundreds of other residents would report seeing the mass of lights flying silently and unbelievably fast across the sky.
A retired rancher described how terrified his wife was after seeing the objects.
“(It was) just after dark, his wife had gone outdoors to take some sheets off the clothesline. He was inside the house reading the paper,” Mr Ruppelt describes in the book.
Edward J Ruppelt had a particular interest in the phenomenon.
Picture: Chronicle/AlamySource:Supplied
“Suddenly his wife had rushed into the house …’as white as the sheets she was carrying’. The reason his wife was so upset was that she had seen a large object glide swiftly and silently over the house.”
The wife described it as “an aeroplane without a body” that had wings covered in glowing blue lights.
After more reports came flooding, some of the locals decided it was time to investigate what these lights actually were.
The group of professors that first saw the lights started an informal investigation, in which they measured the speed and angles of the lights and fact checked sightings.
They noted that the UFOs always travelled from north to south.
He worked with US Air Force Officer to obtain data on the unidentified flying objects reported from various parts of the nation.
Picture: Bettmann/Getty ImagesSource:Getty Images
The events started to gain wider attention after a university student managed to snap a picture of the lights, which were widely published in newspapers and magazines.
The pictures caused a major debate, with people claiming they were a hoax while residents said it was exactly like the objects they had been seeing.
SO WHAT WAS IT?
Multiple explanations have been offered up over the years by scholars and authorities, but the majority of witnesses had a hard time believing them.
The Air Force claimed the lights were nothing more than the underside of a plane and another investigation concluded it was actually caused by birds reflecting the light from Lubbock’s new street lamps.
But the locals dismissed these suggestions, insisting the objects were moving too fast to be bird or planes.
To this day there are those that believe Lubbock was visited by UFOs, with some witnesses firmly believing that what they saw over those few weeks in 1951 was not from this world.
We’re only just over halfway through the year, but already it’s clear – recorded UFO sightings are down. So why is that? Well, it might have less to do with what’s going on up in space, and more to do with life here on Earth, whether or not you believe in alien life.
In this episode we discussed Project Blue Book, the US Government’s official UFO investigation and the upcoming TV show of the same name. We also talked about the proposed Space Force, a project started to scientifically analyze alleged UFO material, a UFO sighting by an astronaut and much more.

In a blog post, NASA said that it may never again have contact with the Opportunity rover, after the craft got caught up in a Martian dust storm in the middle of June.
While expressing optimism that the worst of the Opportunity's rover's problems may be behind it, as the dust storm starts to "decay," NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Andrew Good cautioned that the battery for the $400 million vehicle might have discharged so much power and been inactive for so long, it could be a loss.
"Even if engineers hear back from Opportunity, there's a real possibility the rover won't be the same," Good wrote in an Aug. 16 blog post. "The rover's batteries could have discharged so much power -- and stayed inactive so long -- that their capacity is reduced. If those batteries can't hold as much charge, it could affect the rover's continued operations."
Good also cautioned that no one will know how the Opportunity rover is doing "until it speaks," but added that the team behind it is optimistic, after performing tests on its batteries before the storm hit its location.
"Because the batteries were in relatively good health before the storm, there's not likely to be too much degradation," Good wrote. "And because dust storms tend to warm the environment -- and the 2018 storm happened as Opportunity's location on Mars entered summer -- the rover should have stayed warm enough to survive."
Good added that the dust is less of a problem. Previous storms which "plastered dust on the camera lenses," saw most of the dust eventually shed off. "Any remaining dust can be calibrated out," he wrote.
The dust storm started on June 10 and eventually covered the entire planet, according to Space.com.
Still, it has been a sore spot for NASA that it has not been able to contact the Opportunity rover since the dust storm.
Assuming NASA is able to get in contact with the rover (it is continuing to listen for signs and pinging it three times a week), Good says we may not know anything for a few weeks, likening its condition to a patient coming out of a coma.
"After the first time engineers hear from Opportunity, there could be a lag of several weeks before a second time," Good wrote. "It's like a patient coming out of a coma: It takes time to fully recover. It may take several communication sessions before engineers have enough information to take action."
Opportunity has three so-called "fault modes" when it experiences a problem: a low-power fault that causes it to go into hibernation until there is more sunlight to let it recharge; clock fault, which might happen if the rover doesn't know what time it is, causing disruptions in communication and uploss fault, which occurs when the rover hasn't heard from Earth in a long time, causing it to check its equipment and try alternate ways to communicate with Earth.
The Opportunity rover, which was initially meant to only be on the Red Planet for a 90-day mission, has made several groundbreaking discoveries throughout its now roughly 15-year trip, initially leaving Earth on July 7, 2003.
So far, it has detected signs of water, explored the insides of two craters and completed a marathon — the first vehicle to do so on another planet.
But Opportunity's journey hasn't always been a smooth one.
In 2005, the rover lost the use of one of its front wheels and got stuck in a thick pile of sand for about five weeks, according to Space.com. When it finally managed to move, it ran into a sand dune. In 2007, a dust storm hit and reportedly cut the spacecraft's power to "dangerously low levels." A month later, it turned back on and began exploring the Victoria Crater.
Despite its obstacles, the Opportunity has always managed to pull through. But this time, researchers aren't sure what will happen.
In the meantime, scientists are trying to stay positive, creating a Mars-themed Spotify playlist — featuring "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham!, "Rocket Man" by Elton John, among others — and an office pool to help pass the time.

In 1966, over 300 children and staff from a Melbourne school reportedly witnessed multiple UFOs silently flying through the sky before landing in a nearby field.
It is the largest mass UFO sighting in Australia, yet hardly anything was reported on it at the time.
Over the years, there have been differing reports about the details of what happened on April 6 at Westall High School, such as people claiming there were three saucerlike objects, while some thought there was just one.
In the 52 years since, there has been wide speculation about what people saw, with some believing it was an alien encounter and others pointing the finger at the government testing new technology.
Throughout all the years of speculation, however, one particularly interesting piece of audio has been greatly overlooked.
An American physicist known for his research into UFOs, Dr. James E. McDonald, conducted an interview with a science teacher from the Westall school, Andrew Greenwood, who witnessed the event.
He then recorded himself describing their meeting and the creepy details Mr. Greenwood gave about his experience. “Greenwood told me the UFO was first brought to his attention by a hysterical child who ran into his classroom and told him there’s a flying saucer outside,” Dr. McDonald said.
“He thought this child had become deranged or something so he didn’t take any notice, but when the child insisted that this object was in the sky he decided to go out and have a look for himself.”
When he went outside, he noticed a group of children looking toward the northeast area of the school grounds and as he approached them he claims he saw a UFO hovering close to the powerline.
Mr. Greenwood described it as a round, silver object about the size of a car with a metal rod sticking up in the air.
According to Dr. McDonald, the teacher then told him five planes came and surrounded the object as more people began gathering to watch the scene before them.
“He called it the most amazing flying he had ever seen in his life,” Dr. McDonald said.
“The planes were doing everything possible to approach the object and he said how they all avoided collision he will never know.
“Every time they got too close to the object it would slowly accelerate, then rapidly accelerate and then move away from them and stop. Then they would take off after it again and the same thing would happen.”
This game of cat and mouse reportedly went on for about 20 minutes and by this time Mr. Greenwood said 350 children and staff were watching on.
Suddenly the UFO shot away and vanished within seconds and it was at this point the headmaster came out and ordered everyone to go back to class.
Over the years there were reports that the government tried to cover up the incident and stop witnesses from talking, but Mr. Greenwood claimed it was the headmaster who first tried to squash discussion of the incident.
“He gave the school a lecture and told the children they would be severely punished if they talked about this matter and told the staff they could lose their jobs if they mentioned it at all,” Dr. McDonald said.
The teacher claimed the headmaster was so “scared” and “disturbed” by the incident that he had refused to come outside until the object was gone.
“When the Royal Australian Airforce contacted the headmaster he told them to ‘go and jump in a lake’,” Dr. McDonald said.
There have been claims from several witnesses that sharply dressed men in black suits visited them and warned them from speaking about the incident.
This lines up with a few experiences Mr. Greenwood had when he tried to speak with other witnesses about what they saw.
“At the time of seeing the UFO he was a complete skeptic himself. He had never even considered the possibility of their existence,” Dr. McDonald said.
“When he asked the physical education teacher to describe what she had seen herself so that he could compare it with his own observation, she just wouldn’t say anything.”
He then reportedly spoke to one of the older students who described the event in great detail exactly as he had seen it, but when he spoke to her again half an hour later she wouldn’t say a word.
Mr. Greenwood didn’t think it had anything to do with the headmaster’s threats as no one usually took him seriously and he knew for a fact that the student he spoke with didn’t attend the meeting where he had made the threats.
Dr. McDonald’s description of his interview with Mr. Greenwood offers a rare insight into the events from the eyes of someone who was an adult at the time.
There continues to be speculation over what actually happened and the site of the encounter has been turned into a memorial park to reflect the 1966 Westall UFO Incident.
Are we living in the only universe? If you believe like many that we reside in a multiverse, then answer this question: do we live in the FIRST universe? If that’s too big of a query to wrap your brain around, here’s a little help from an esteemed mathematician, with a little more help from the beyond in the form of Stephen Hawking, who thinks the answer lies in black holes:
“What we claim we’re seeing is the final remnant after a black hole has evaporated away in the previous aeon.”
What University of Oxford mathematical physicist Sir Roger Penrose and his colleagues “claim we’re seeing” is radiation that appears to have passed from a previous universe (which he calls an “aeon”), which supports Penrose’s theory of “conformal cyclic cosmology” which proposes that the universe is not the product of a single Big Bang but instead is going through an ebb and flow of Big Bang expansions and dying universe compressions. This, of course, would contradict the prevailing theory of cosmic inflation, which hypothesizes that the universe is expanding infinitely.
Got it so far? Still skeptical? Let’s bring in the late great Stephen Hawking and his “Hawking points.”
“Though seemingly problematic for cosmic inflation, the existence of such anomalous points is an iplication of conformal cyclic cosmology (CCC).”
In a paper published on the pre-peer review website arxiv.org, Penrose proposes that Hawking points – a singular spot of radiation emitted from black hole – are actually exit-entry points between dying-birthing universes and the radiation itself is a remnant from the previous aeon passed on to the current one. At this point, if you’re up on your Hawking points, you’re probably screaming, “But Hawking was never able to prove they exist!”
Not so fast, says Penrose. His study claims that one or more things-that-could-be-Hawking -points have been found by the BICEP2 (Background Imaging of Celectronic Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) project, a muscular mapping of the cosmic microwave background (the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the Big Bang) which has identified 20 swirling patterns of polarizations (a great name for a band) called B-modes (a great name for the band’s backup singers) on the far edges of the map near the beginning of the universe we’re in right now.
Penrose and his colleagues believe these swirls are the smoking points proving the theory of conformal cyclic cosmology.
“Although of extremely low temperature at emission, in CCC this radiation is enormously concentrated by the conformal compression of the entire future of the black hole, resulting in a single point at the crossover into our current aeon.”
Should we break out the champagne (real and non-alcoholic) and invite our Hindu friends over to celebrate the proof of Vedic cosmology and the four Yugas? Unfortunately, Penrose’s study and simulations are based on the map released by the BICEP2 project, not the raw data which could contain contradicting points to the Hawking points. The map only goes back to about 380,000 years after the Big Bang, not to the bang itself, and other researchers say Penrose has not yet disproved the theories that the swirls or rings are light being bent by massive objects we can’t see yet.
Will a chain of banging-and-imploding universes that lasts forever be proven by the B-modes before the next aeon arrives? If science had a category for “most popular theory,” anything connected to Hawking would be a winner.
Armchair explorers poring over Google Maps have once again claimed to have found evidence of secret bases hiding in barren locations. At least it’s not Antarctica again this time. YouTube channel thirdphaseofmoon posted a video this week claiming to have discovered “China’s Area 51” in a remote part of the Gobi Desert. Is this definitive proof of, well, anything?
Mysterious Structures in Gobi Desert
As always, it’s hard to say from Google Maps images alone. The images do appear to show some sort of military installation, airport, or even space base, but whether or not there is anything nefarious or mysterious going on is unknown. The Chinese government is notoriously tight-lipped about its activities, particularly where defense is concerned, after all.
The ChiComs even often fabricate death tolls after natural disasters to avoid criticism of their public safety standards.
The images depict several structures spread out over a vast area of the desert. One of them appears to consist of two x-shaped landing strips flanked by a series of buildings, one of which appears to have suffered a major fire. There are no aircraft on the landing strips in Google Maps’ satellite images.
Another structure is far stranger. It appears to be a series of concentric rings made up of dark objects, at the center of which sit three aircraft. Some commenters online have likened the structure to Stonehenge. The true purpose of this structure is unknown, but I would guess it’s likely an arena for testing anti-aircraft munitions.
A munitions testing arena.
Naturally, being a conspiracy theory YouTube channel, thirdphaseofmoon speculates these structures are “some kind of secret space program that is being hidden in the Gobi Desert in an abandoned airport of some sort” and wonders where are the people inhabiting this area went. In all likelihood, this is merely a military installation used for aircraft and weapons testing, one which likely wouldn’t be used every day. Still, given that other secret Chinese space bases have been spotted, there’s no telling what might be possible for China’s “Area 51.” War in space is coming, readers.
Something Strange Is Happening In The Gobi Desert! Public Reaction! 7/21/17
UFOs-Aliens - 'Ancient Aliens’ on History Channel beats CNN in prime time!
CNN faced a shock horror moment over August 6 to 12 when they were beaten in the cable ratings by numerous competitors including the History channels Ancient Aliens.
This proves that people are more interested in UFO and Alien news than they are in what is currently happening in the world.
History Channels Ancient Aliens Knocks CNN Down Cable Ratings.XX CNN was also red-faced when they fell in behind shows from Fox News and MSNBC. At the top of the primetime slot for TV viewing was Fox News thanks to the program attracting more than 2 million viewers.
MSNBC took second place with its 1.75 million viewers, while CNN could only achieve seventh place with just 992,000 viewers over the average.
CNN was also beat by HGTV, USA, TBS and the History channel; probably the biggest shock was that the alien conspiracy theory program Ancient Aliens beat CNN news.
It seems the hosts Chris Cuomo and Anderson Cooper just did not have what it takes to compete with dated aliens as the History Channel drew in 1.06 million viewers during prime time.
CNN Also Failed During Daytime Slots Losing Out to Nickelodeon.
Not only has CNN failed miserably in the primetime slot, which is, of course, one of the most coveted among channels, they also failed in the daytime programming.
CNN executives must surely be hanging their heads in shame as even the children’s TV channel Nickelodeon beat them in the daytime. Also ahead during daytime viewing was Fox News, HGTV, MSNBC and Investigation Discovery. The fact that CNN was beaten by “Ancient aliens’ on History Channel was extensively reported by several leading media outlets, reported breitbart.
Three Green Orbs Recorded Over Lake In British Colombia, Canada, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 10, 2018
Location of sighting: Lake Country, BC, Canada
Source: MUFON #94181
This is an interesting report about three free orbs caught in a panoramic photo during sunset in Canada. One orb is alone further away, and two others are close to one another. Also on close inspection of each orb, they look identical far away, but each is uniquely different from the others. The patterns of green inside the orbs are each different, which rules out lens flare...also most lens flares are blue.
Notice also that the orbs are green. They are revealed due to the angle of the sun, UFOs and camera. Although the human eye cannot catch all it sees, a digital camera can.
There are many past reports of green glowing UFOs at night, so due to the pattern within each UFO being different and the UFOs being separated, I believe this sighting to be 100% proof of alien visitation to Earth.

Eyewitness states:
We spotted the "3 orbs" after viewing the picture on computer screen. The pics were made with a Samsung smart phone.
Long Black UFO Sighted Over Harrison, New Jersey, August 5, 2018, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Aug 5, 2019 Location of sighting: Harrison, New Jersey, USA
Here is a really unusual shaped UFO. The long black object floats past and changes shape as it does so. If it were balloons tied together, they would not change shape so fast. Also not the straight lines in the circle above as it changed shape. Many astronauts have reported long arm like UFOs in space...so this could be such a UFO. Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
I wonder why i was tanning in my colorful bright bikini. and for some reason a space shuttle with like 24 windows came to get a close up look and when i got up. it zoomed shut. and after that it seemed like a floating piece of garbage. but when i was thinking about floating garbage in our atmosphere. i wondered is about 3000 ft in the air if there could be gravity. so How stupid of me to say garbage..lol
UFO Shot Down Over Turkey Explodes Over City, Aug 13, 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Aug 13, 2018 Location of sighting: Turkey This video was posted this week of a UFO exploding over a populated city in Turkey. Just before we see the UFO explode, we hear military jets open fire on it. The roar of the jets engines very loud. The explosion was so big people on the ground screamed in fear and began running in all directions. If this had been a rocket, there would have been a long trail behind it. Had it been a missile, the explosion would have been many times larger. This glowing UFO is similar in appearance to many others seen in UFO reports around the world, especially over Denver, Colorado mountain area. If the Turkish military did successfully shoot down a real alien UFO, it could cause aliens to literally go to war with humanity on a global scale. Something humanity does not have the tech to win.

The Golden Age of Space Exploration: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Cosmos (Op-Ed)

Leonid Solovyev is Director of Operations for The Breakthrough Prize Foundation, dedicated to advancing understanding of the universe at the deepest levels. Its Breakthrough Prizes honor important achievements in Fundamental Physics, Life Sciences and Mathematics and are sponsored by Sergey Brin, Pony Ma, Julia & Yuri Milner, Anne Wojcicki, Priscilla Chan & Mark Zuckerberg. Solovyev contributed this article to Space.com's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.
Last fall, there was widespread excitement after astronomers from the PAN-STARRS program at the University of Hawai'i detected a mysterious object shooting past Earth around 21 million miles (34 million kilometers) away. Named 'Oumuamua, meaning "first distant messenger" in Hawai'ian, it was the first object witnessed in our solar system that came from another star system. It was moving at nearly 200,000 mph (320,000 km/h), and was about 2,600 feet (800 meters) in length, with a highly unusual elongated cigar shape. Since a long, streamlined structure would minimize collisions with interstellar gas and dust, speculation arose that it might be an artificial object — perhaps even a spacecraft. ['Oumuamua: The 1st Known Interstellar Visitor in Photos]
This caught the attention of Breakthrough Listen, the radio astronomy program of Breakthrough Prize Foundation, which uses some of the world's biggest telescopes to search for evidence of intelligent life beyond Earth. Scientists quickly turned the Green Bank Telescope, the largest fully steerable instrument in the world, toward 'Oumuamua. At that range, Breakthrough Listen would have been able to detect an onboard transmitter with about the power of an iPhone. The observations did not reveal any signal — but they did lead to headlines like, "Astronomers Check 'Alien' Asteroid Thing For Actual Aliens".
Such headlines may make scientists cringe. But ultimately, I believe, they're a good thing. Any publicity is good publicity if it gets more people engaged with the golden age of space exploration that we are currently living through.
In the last two decades, among other momentous findings, astronomers have discovered that the expansion of the universe is accelerating; they have imaged its state soon after the Big Bang; and they have detected gravitational waves from black holes and neutron stars. Meanwhile, private space programs, such as Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin programs, have re-ignited enthusiasm about human space travel.
In the same period, astrobiology — the study of life in the universe — has blossomed as a science. At our annual conference on the subject, called Breakthrough Discuss, I see astronomers, cosmologists, biologists, geneticists, chemists and engineers bubbling with new ideas, from identifying exoplanet atmospheres to building synthetic life in the lab to searching for laser signals from other star systems.
What has galvanized the science community around the search for life? Recent space missions, such as NASA's Kepler and Cassini missions, have changed the game, revealing that most stars have planetary systems, and icy outer moons in our solar system could hold the conditions for primitive life. And just last month, the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter discovered a lake of liquid water beneath the surface of Mars. If, as many astrobiologists suspect, life was once present on the Red Planet, perhaps such lakes could still support it today.
In this climate of excitement, it's important that scientists are public figures — keen to take the lead in communicating with the public about new developments. Of course, when reacting quickly to events, mistakes are always possible, and scientific rigor is always paramount. But conjecture is not incompatible with rigor; indeed, conjecture is fundamental to the scientific method. Scientists should not be afraid to propose bold ideas, and open them up to criticism. [5 Bold Claims of Alien Life]
One reason for this is that you never know what a scientific idea will reveal until you test it. Our program, for instance, was set up to look for "technosignatures" of advanced civilizations; we may or may not find them, but in the process we have already made astronomical discoveries in their own right — such as a new fast radio burst (FRB), one of the mysterious super-high-energy events of unknown origin.
And any new knowledge gleaned about the cosmos could teach us something about its possibilities for life. In June, astronomers at the European Space Agency showed that 'Oumuamua is accelerating away from the sun more rapidly than can be explained by the force of gravity alone. Their analysis concluded that the effect is caused by "outgassing" — material being boiled off its surface — meaning that the object is probably a comet. A comet is a very different proposition than a spacecraft, yet it is still relevant to the search for life: the discovery of an interstellar comet provides renewed motivation to consider theories like panspermia, which postulates that life is transported between the stars by comets, asteroids and other voyagers.
The universe is still full of mystery. We should welcome all scientifically grounded ideas that could shine a light upon it.
The Grand Canyon is the most famous gorge in the US state of Arizona and is located in the national park of the same name. Each year, the attraction attracts more than five million visitors.
4000 years ago, a UFO is said to have crashed on the bottom of the 450-kilometer-long gorge, which has not yet been fully explored.
Park ranger discovers UFO wreck
A park ranger found a gigantic frame made of an unknown metal on the largely unexplored soil of the Grand Canyon. After this discovery, an anonymous team of experts began an intensive investigation of the wreck. The experts analyzed the metal using the carbon dating method.
The carbon dating determined the crash or landing of the flying object to about 2000 years B.C., which would result in an age of at least 4000 years.
The interior of the ancient spaceship gave us an idea of the size of the inmates. According to the analysis, the creatures on board were smaller than humans and the interior offered space for up to twenty people.
Crew comparable to humans
Astronomer Dr. Henry Leaumont, who contacted the Weekly World News when he received secret Air Force documents about the find. He explained that the UFO crew apparently breathed oxygen.
The spacecraft had an atomic propulsion system based on measured low radiation. It was controlled by a magnetic steering system. Food and water had been on board the ufo as provisions.
According to Dr. Leaumont, the material the spacecraft was made of was an extremely light metal fiber. As he continues, a Bible has also been found to prove that the aliens believe in some kind of God.
Caves at the crash site
Around the crash site of the Grand Canyon UFO, there are orphaned caves that were probably inhabited by the crew for decades. The aliens are said to have painted their appearance on the walls. The paintings showed humanoid creatures with bulbous heads and according to experts, they were the aliens on board the UFO.
The wreckage of the ufo has meanwhile been transported away and is supposed to be in a secret place for further investigation. The truth of the story, since the metallic skeleton is said to have been the remains of a UFO that crashed 4000 years ago, cannot be verified.
New extraordinary discovery made by Jean Seimple, who sent, a few days ago, the formula of the fundamental constant of Gravitation, G, one of the unresolved mysteries of physics, to all the major scientific journals of the world.
After dozens of secrets revealed and relayed by Disclose TV, such as Atlantis-Antarctica, the meridian of Greenwich, The Secret of Jesus Christ, the Ark of covenant, Planet X etc ... the list is long! A new breathtaking discovery that will make history!
INTERSTELLAR in reality!
Here is his press release published in France, just few minutes ago.
Discovery of the Equation of the Fundamental Constant of Gravitation.
Pyramid Apocalypsia.
By Jean Seimple, August 15, 2018.
« A big step towards the stars... »
A new Great Day for Humanity. (Picture, Interstellar.)
Dear readers,
thanks to all my work on the Great Pyramid, of its authenticity and its coherence, I managed, while staying on the path of the truth, to make one of the greatest discoveries of our time...
The discovery was transmitted a few days ago to the scientific community, with the hope of awakening men.
From the scientific publication:
(Available online in its intergrality, with its geometric and theoretical assumptions, here)
Proposition for the Formula, Definition and Mathematical Value of the Universal Constituent of Gravitation, G.
By Jean Seimple.
(Note by Jean: All this was unknown, the constant of proportionality of gravity, one of the most important and mysterious constants of physics, is only estimated by physical measurements.
References are written at 10 ^ -9 instead of 10 ^ -11, e.g. 6.11 x 10 ^ -11 = 0.0611 x 10 ^ -9.)
Reference of the constant G used:
SI value recommended by CODATA (Data Committee for Science and Technology.)
(CODATA 2014 Newtonian constant of gravitation NIST, 2017.)
G(ref.) = 0.0667 408(31)10^-9m3.kg^-1.s^-2
Proposition of the fundamental formula of the constant G:
First writing
Definition:
10 (π -1 / 2π ²) – 1, is the multiplying coefficient of the inverse of the perimeter of the circle
C = 2π ² / π -1, whose radius r = π / π -1, is the only solution of the equality, Pi x r = Pi + r.
√((5π /6) -1), is a remarkable proportion Pi(~ √ Φ).
Numerical value :
G = 10 (π -1/ 2π ²) -1 / √ ((5π /6) -1)
G = 0.0667 792...
This solution of G, corresponds to 99.942 % to G(ref.) = 0.0667 408(31)10^-9m3.kg^-1.s^-2.
(Note from Jean: the probability that this formula that follows from a unique solution of Pi, falls on one of the most important value of physics is a coincidence, it's almost zero... perfection belongs to Heaven.)
Second writing
G = 0.067482...
~99 % of G(ref.)
(…)
We can suppose the existence of at least, 9 other space of PI of lower densities in a time slightly shifted from ours and thus unobservable, which would correspond to the famous 'dark energy'/'dark matter' of the cosmology (...)
That in a standardized universal system, the formula of A.Einstein is written, E = m π².
That there would be a small 'black hole' in the center of each elemental particle of matter, in the image and probably at the origin of the black holes of the cosmos.
Wishes:
I. If this formula wins the interest of the scientific community, I would like it to be named, "The Antarctic Formula".
II. By a moral and conscience contract, I authorize the commercial use of this publication, asking that a 'nice proportion' of the income collected, be donated to the benefit of a charity dedicated to children.
Acknowledgment:
Thanks to the Architect of the Great Pyramid.
UNBELIEVABLE !
This is therefore the irrefutable scientific proof that the Pyramids of the Giza were built by a civilization superior to us.
The lie is over.
In my last video (en sub), I announced that it would probably be the end of a long series, thinking to have arrived at the end of the road, as twice already in the past.
This path that I followed was the path of truth, which took me very far, as you can see; and at the end of this road, there will be, I think, the builders and this incredible architect.
So it is with another truth that I will finish.
'For verily I say unto you,' as the son of Man, who is related to this pyramid as I have revealed, this scientific publication, is not intended to be judged by scientists, but that it is the publication and the Heaven through it, who will judge them...
As guarantors of the laws of the universe, these guardians of the temple, these men of science, will be the first to be judged, because the true science is the science of the truth and without truth, it remains only the law of the men...
Those who work for the truth.
We will see then, who work for the truth and those who will continue to lie.
The masks will fall.
As I have announced, we are at the time of the Apocalypse, the time of revelation, the tearing of the veil, the time of judgment, and the hour of judgment comes...
If I tried to transmit the message with my heart, to touch the men of heart, I needed for others... To Hit their minds!
It was the plan of God.
Prepare... and may God keep you.
Jean Seimple.

AMAZING !
Amazing new revelation of Jean Seimple, remember, he explained and demonstrated, that a planet-comet, will cross our solar system very soon and cause upheaval on earth... to observe the current intense volcanic activity and the climate change, I think its effects are already felt and so as he says, be prepared...
To share, massively, for our children !
The divine plan...
And the key that explains everything...

Our children will have the stars...
"In my childhood dreams, I had two powers that allowed me to escape the clutches of the monster and that other children did not have.

There Is A Very Odd Structure Deep In The Gobi Desert
One dessert in central Asia constitutes much more than this. Not one, but two X-shaped strips of tarmac have been spotted. Could these be landing strips? They indeed appear to be made from the tarmac, which again has no place in a desert!
Do These Satellite Images Reveal China’s Area 51?
Not only are the landing strips out of place, but they appear to be communicating something – the number eight is written both on and off the tarmac. And it is not just one number eight; there are several dotted within the vicinity of the strips. Although the untrained eye cannot make sense of the array, is this some sort of hidden communication?
The question of who is communicating may be raised. After all, who would be in the middle of a desert? How would they survive? The answer is relatively simple; just beneath the landing strips is an array of several buildings.
Not only this, but the buildings seem to be of varying ages – some appear to have been scorched by fire and derelict whereas other buildings appear to be of newer construction and occupiable.
So, what can be established? There has been somebody there to construct the strips and the buildings. There has likely been a major fire which destroyed some of the buildings. However, the site was that important that newer buildings were constructed to take their place. The strips have markings on, and the vast number of figure eights strung around the area could also signify something; communication is most likely intended.
The precise length of this communication is unknown. How successful the communication was is unknown. If it is still being used today is unknown.
But why is it being kept a secret? Why has nobody admitted to building it? For flying there? Or even before seeing it?
One possible explanation is that the area houses a military base and the government do not want you to know. If it is merely this legitimate then why all the secrets? What exactly are the government trying to conceal?
Is this an alien testing facility? Is this where Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 ended up? Just what activities are going on here?
Locals could hold the answer – the site is only 5 kilometers away from the closest town. But how likely are they to speak? Are they in on this secret too? Why haven’t they spoken before?
This is not the only strange happening in the Gobi Desert – there is another mystical area just like those above. Not only does the second structure contain landing strips and buildings but also actual aircraft. The buildings are set to surround the aircraft. Does this array mean something?
Again, there is also an aspect of communication – the area contains two large rectangular regions. One of the areas is seen as a solid rectangle whereas the other larger square consists of a geometric pattern. Does this pattern mean something?
It can be concluded that both of the areas stick out like a sore thumb. Both are not natural and should not be there, and both have been used for some type of aircraft. Even though no government is owning up and no locals are providing a witness, this cannot merely be swept under the rug as desert delirium. This is real.
Vreemde baan Russische satelliet verontrust Verenigde Staten: “We weten niet wat dit toestel is” - HLN.be
Getty
Het Amerikaanse ministerie van Buitenlandse zaken maakt zich zorgen om een Russische satelliet die “erg vreemd gedrag” vertoont. Volgens het Russische ministerie van Defensie zou het gaan om een toestel dat ruimtetuigen inspecteert, maar daar geloven de Amerikanen niets van. “We weten niet wat dit toestel is en kunnen het op geen enkele manier checken”, klinkt het verontrust.
Het was Yleem D.S. Poblete – het hoofd van het Amerikaans Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance – die eergisteren aan de alarmbel trok op een ontwapeningsconferentie in Genève. De Russische satelliet werd in oktober vorig jaar voor het eerst opgemerkt.
“Wat de satelliet doet, komt niet overeen met wat we kennen van toestellen die ruimtetuigen inspecteren”, aldus Poblete. “We zijn bezorgd over zijn erg vreemde gedrag. We weten niet met zekerheid wat het toestel is en kunnen het op geen enkele manier checken. De intenties van de Russen met het toestel zijn niet duidelijk en baren ons uiteraard grote zorgen. Zeker als je weet dat de Commandant van de Russische ruimtetroepen eerder verklaarde dat het integreren van nieuwe prototypes van wapens een hoofdtaak is van de Aerospace Force Space Troops.”
De Amerikanen maken zich al langer zorgen dat de Russen actief bezig zijn met het ontwikkelen van antisatellietwapens. Iets wat het Russische ministerie van Defensie volgens Poblete al verscheidene keren bevestigde. “In februari vorig jaar zei de leider van de Russisch ruimtetroepen dat Rusland nieuwe raketten ontwikkelt met het expliciete doel om satellieten te vernietigen. We hebben zelfs verklaringen gelezen van de Russische Defensie dat haar ruimtetroepen al een mobiel lazersysteem tegen satellieten hebben dat opereert vanop de grond. President Poetin vindt trouwens dat ruimtewapens steeds aanvaardbaarder worden in politiek en militair opzicht.”
Mobiele telefoons
Mochten de Russen effectief een antisatellietwapen in een baan om de aarde gebracht hebben en dat ook gebruiken, kan dat verstrekkende gevolgen hebben. Ook voor het dagelijkse leven, want onder meer mobiele telefoons, de gps en het internet werken op satellieten. Ook voor weervoorspellers en hulpdiensten zoals politie en brandweer zijn ze essentieel.

Het toestel zou de Russen kunnen toelaten om bijvoorbeeld spionageapparatuur aan een satelliet van een vijandige macht te bevestigen, maar ook om die uit zijn baan te duwen, zijn signalen te storen, hem te vangen of zelfs compleet te vernietigen.
Klein ruimtetuig
Het is niet duidelijk om welke Russische satelliet het precies gaat. Dat zei Problete niet. Militaire analisten denken echter dat het toestel op 23 juni vorig jaar in een baan om de aarde gebracht werd. Het Russische ministerie van Defensie verklaarde een maand later dat het “een klein ruimtetuig” had gelanceerd dat de toestand van de Russische satellieten moest controleren.
De Russen zelf ontkennen alle aantijgingen. Russisch diplomaat Alexander Deynko vertelde aan persbureau Reuters dat de verklaring van Poblete “ongefundeerd en lasterlijk” is en “gebaseerd op verdenkingen en veronderstellingen”.
Thousands of new documents from Project MKUltra, the Central Intelligence Agency’s mid-century mind control program, will soon be released. The new records include 4,358 undisclosed pages regarding MKUltra’s “behavior modification” efforts.
John Greenewald, founder of The Black Vault, a site specializing in declassified government records obtained via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, first uploaded MKUltra documents in 2004—tens of thousands of pages, spread over four CD-ROMs. The document index alone is 85 pages.
Still, the trove of MKUltra material available on The Black Vault represent only a small fraction of the material from the sprawling, multi-decade program, with the majority lost to history after CIA Director Richard Helms ordered all MKUltra files destroyed in 1973. This makes the new documents crucial to expanding our narrow perspective on the CIA’s actions from the operation’s beginnings in 1953 through the cover-up twenty years later.
Project MKUltra was an illegal program of human experimentation undertaken by the CIA to discover methods, both pharmacological and psychological, for controlling the human mind, particularly in interrogation settings. Amphetamines, MDMA, scopolamine, cannabis, salvia, sodium pentothal, psilocybin and LSD were administered to thousands of unsuspecting people, throughout the United States and Canada. Others were subject to sensory deprivation, psychological abuse and rape, including the sexual abuse of children.
Frank Olson, a biological warfare scientist working with the CIA, plummeted to his death a little over a week after his supervisor covertly dosed him with LSD. Though his death was considered a suicide, the Netflix documentary miniseries Wormwood convincingly argues he was instead assassinated by the CIA after threatening to disclose his work, particularly the United States’ alleged use of biological weapons in the Korean War.
More than 80 colleges, prisons, pharma companies and hospitals collaborated in the program, including renowned psychiatrist Donald Ewen Cameron, who served president of the American Psychiatric Association and the World Psychiatric Association. The destruction of decades of documentation and subsequent CIA stonewalling has made Project MKUltra a central element of numerous conspiracy theories.
The existence of the previously unknown MKUltra pages was discovered in 2016, when a Black Vault user, Oscar Diggs, discovered irregularities in the collection the CIA disclosed to Greenewald. Diggs created a list of missing records and pages described in the index. The CIA refused to fill in the gaps in their original FOIA disclosure, claiming that extant MKUltra documents pertaining to “behavioral modification” were not the same as those pertaining to “mind control.” Greenewald is currently crowdfunding to cover the fees imposed by the CIA for the remaining 4,358 pages.
“We shouldn’t be afraid to ask questions.” Greenewald told Motherboard. “Even though the government lies, documents do not.”
Experts believe a 5,000 year old Neolithic site has been discovered in a field in Ireland's Boyne Valley, after a summer drought deadened the grass enough for the monument to be revealed.
U.K. archeologists are crediting a drought and a drone for the discovery of an ancient structure in Ireland, which first appeared as an outline under a parched farmer’s field.
The structure was spotted this week by drone enthusiasts recording footage over the Newgrange historic site in Boyne Valley, County Meath. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to several 5,000-year-old circular structures from the Neolithic era, many of which remain buried underground.
Photos from the air show the structure as a circular outline under a farmer’s field, with the ditch-and-upright architecture of a prehistoric henge, such as Stonehenge.
“Nobody knew it was there,” said archeologist Stephen Davis.
The monument was likely built around 3000 BCE along with the other structures at the site, according to Davis, who teaches at University College Dublin. He’s also been studying the site for several years.
“When it was standing, what you would’ve seen was two large rings of timber posts, and maybe a very low bank, and then this segmented ditch,” Davis said.
Ireland has been suffering through a historically hot, dry summer, which helped expose the structure where it lay hidden beneath a farmer’s tilled field.
Davis says the buried structure caused the drought-stricken plants above ground to ripen at different rates, because the earth was deeper in some places than in others. This created a green-and-brown pattern in the plants that corresponded to the buried ruins.
“The detail we’re seeing is pretty unprecedented, and it might not happen again for decades,” Davis said.
“You wouldn’t see this from the ground,” he added. “You’d only see it from the air.”
The most famous structure at Newgrange is the stone-rimmed, grass-domed mound known as Site P. The structure is centred around an ancient stone tomb, although the tomb predates the rest of the monument.
The newly-discovered monument was close to Site P.
The Newgrange UNESCO World Heritage Site in Ireland is home to several monuments, including this mound.

Newgrange is believed to be about 100 years older than Stonehenge, although the newest discovery might have been built slightly later.
THE MOST SHOCKING EVIDENCE THAT EARTH WAS VISITED BY ANCIENT ALIENS
The very words give me the chills: ancient aliens. In the early 1970s, when Erich von Däniken first released Chariots of the Gods, he called them “ancient astronauts”—a name that’s equally creepy. The Apollo missions were still going on, and the image of astronauts was fresh in everyone’s minds. Could ancient alien beings have arrived on Earth in the distant past? Would they have worn spacesuits, like our own astronauts?
If they truly visited our planet in millennia past: why were they here? What did the aliens do while they were on Earth?
Researchers have spent a lot of time looking into the question of whether we were visited so many millennia ago. The popular television show Ancient Aliens, although well-intentioned, has muddied the water in their search of show material—did we really need an episode asking whether aliens interfered with the American Civil War? (C’mon, guys. You’re off the reservation.)
Although we may not be ever know for sure that we had extraterrestrial visitors thousands of years in the past, perhaps if they did come, they might have left us modern people some clues. Let’s take a look at some of the most clear—and startling—evidence for the existence of ancient aliens on Earth.
ANCIENT ALIENS VISIT THE DOGON TRIBE?
African Tribe Possessed Knowledge Science Had Yet to Discover
This African tribe (whose name is pronounced “DOE-gone”) has known all sorts of specifics about the star Sirius for thousands of years, passed down from holy man to holy man. We’re talking details here, like how Sirius has a companion star (“Sirius B”), and that it circles the main star (“Sirius A”) every 50 years. Here’s the thing: it is absolutely true—but modern scientists didn’t know these things about Sirius until the middle of the 19th century. The Dogon knew a thousand years ago. Heck, the Dogon also knew that Sirius has a second companion star, and scientists didn’t discover it (“Sirius C”) until the 1990s.
How did the Dogon get this scientific information about Sirius B? If you ask them, they’ll tell you that the tribe was visited by the Nommos, an amphibian-like race that came from the Sirius star system in a noisy “ark” that spun and whipped up wind while it landed. It was the Nommos, a race of ancient aliens, who told the Dogon about their homeworld and its star cluster.
Knee-jerk skeptics like to invent reasons why all this can’t be true. Westerners must have stopped by and told them about Sirius, one denier said. There’s no way, though: the Dogon have artifacts that are thousands of years old, depicting Sirius and its companions. No one should have known this stuff that long ago, but the Dogon did.
This short video does a good job explaining the ancient Dogon knowledge. (I have no idea why the narrator pronounces Sirius as “SIGH-ree-us”, but we can give him a pass on that.)
THE PROPHET EZEKIEL DESCRIBES HIS ENCOUNTER WITH ANCIENT UFOS—IN THE BIBLE
Holy Scriptures Contain Account of Alien Contact?
Ask Erich von Däniken, the guy who pioneered the search for ancient aliens, and he’ll tell you his favorite evidence is in the Old Testament. It’s the story of Ezekiel and his bizarre encounter with UFOs.
Ezekiel was a prophet living in exile with the rest of the Hebrews in the land they called Babylon. Being a prophet was a highfalutin job back then, but Ezekiel’s life got even stranger—stranger than just being a guy who received special messages from the creator of the universe.
The prophet Ezekiel encounters a UFO and aliens 2,500 years ago
I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal, and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human, but each of them had four faces and four wings.
Ezekiel 1:1-6
Some people read this and think: the dude was taking drugs. Others (knee-jerk skeptics) say: oh, it’s just more Biblical mumbo-jumbo. Devout people may say that Ezekiel saw angels.
Maybe.
What if this was Ezekiel actually saw something, and he didn’t know what it was, or how to explain it? If he actually encountered ancient aliens, how would he describe them? We think he’d probably describe them just like he did.
Next Ezekiel describes the machine that the being had arrived in, the machine that landed in a rush of wind.
Ezekiel confronts the great wheels within wheels. Did he meet ancient aliens?
I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz … each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went.
Ezekiel 1:15-19
Doesn’t that sound like a spacecraft to you? Why would a man living 500 years B.C. write a description that sounds so much like the landing and maneuvering of an alien ship? Surely this was not just random. Remember: Ezekiel was devoutly religious, and he would interpret amazing events as signs from God. If beings appeared, he would assume they were angels. But perhaps they were ancient aliens.
What about their technology? Ezekiel’s description was of an alien craft with advanced maneuverability.
This story of the machine that had wheels-within-wheels impressed NASA engineer Joe Blumrich a lot. A wheel that could move in any direction without having to turn—that sounded like something a planetary exploration vehicle could use. He went on to invent a wheel based on Ezekiel’s description, and called it the “omni wheel.” Joe received a US patent for it in 1972. Today, omni wheels are routinely used in robot vehicles. Blumrich also wrote a popular book, The Spaceships of Ezekiel, in which he explained that after starting out intending to disprove the idea, he’d become convinced that Ezekiel truly had been writing about an encounter with ancient aliens.
“THOSE WHO CAME FROM THE SKIES TO THE EARTH”
World’s Oldest Civilization Leaves Record of Alien Contact
The ancient Sumerians lived 5,000 years ago in what’s now the country of Iraq. They left behind humankind’s first writings, books older than the Bible and the Hindu Vedas.
The Sumerians wrote a lot about the Anunnaki, whose name means “those who came from the skies to Earth”. Modern scholars have assumed that the stories of the Annunaki were just myths about Sumerian gods—but the stories themselves sound more like tales of ancient aliens.
In the writings, the Annunaki came to Earth from a lost planet in our solar system—one with such a wide orbit that it rarely approaches us. They called the lanet Nibiru.
The leaders of the ancient aliens were named Enki and Enlil. They were here for gold, a mineral they needed but did not have enough of. Mines were set up there in Sumer, but also in Africa as well. Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa, a Zulu elder and author of Zulu Shaman: Dreams, Prophecies, and Mysteries, says that ancient tribal traditions speak of “visitors from the stars” who mined for gold.
After mining for some time, the Anunnaki realized that the local humanoids—Homo Erectus, our ancestors—might make useful slaves if they could make them smarter. After improving the proto-humans, presumably with DNA modification, they managed to create a hybrid race: part Anunnaki, part early human. These new beings, called the Adamu, were the first real humans. They were also the new slaves who would work in the gold mines.
Ancient Sumerian cylindrical seal shows an accurate map of our solar system
Our hybrid ancestors didn’t stand for this situation for long, though, probably because these newly created beings were far too smart. Who wants to be a slave? They eventually rose up and rebelled, and eventually, a new Adamu society formed, one which maintained an uneasy truce with the Anunnaki.
The Sumerians recorded this history after first inventing writing. They also made engravings and art of the Anunnaki along with knowledge they had received from them—for instance, an ancient Sumerian seal depicts the Sumerian “gods” along with an accurate representation of our solar system, with 11 planets. The planets have correct proportions (Jupiter is the largest, then Saturn, and so on), and the depiction also includes the asteroid belt. Remember that modern science only discovered Uranus and Neptune in the past 150 years, and that scientists are only now saying that there is gravitational evidence for a “lost” planet with a weird, oblong orbit. Are there truly 11 planets? It may be so.
Sumerian artwork always depicts members of the Anunnaki as having wings. Did they actually have wings? It seems unlikely—many researchers believe the wings are meant to show that the Anunnaki had the ability to fly, as in ships. Other strange and telling things appear in the artwork: the goddess Ishtar’s symbol, which stood for the concept of “life”, bears a striking resemblance to the entwined double helix of DNA. Could that be more than a coincidence?
We’ve been kind of critical of the show Ancient Aliens, but this segment from an early episode explains all this pretty well (below). We also very much like this documentary about the Anunnaki and the planet Nibiru.
ANCIENT ALIENS FIGHT WARS IN THE SKIES OF ANCIENT INDIA
Hindu Holy Books Called The Vedas Describe Alien Encounters
There is strong evidence that ancient aliens visited other places around the Earth. In India, for example, the ancient holy books known as The Vedas tell of a space war between ships and fought in the skies. The descriptions of the ships are remarkable—translated, it is difficult to imagine that they were describing anything except spacecraft.
The Vedas state that “strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside one must put the mercury engine with its iron heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mercury which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky. The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of the machines human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to earth.”
Spacecraft as described in the ancient Hindu holy books called The Vedas
No, that’s not a spacecraft they’re describing. No way.
“Fifty years of researching this ancient works convinces me that there are living beings on other planets and that they visited Earth as far back as 4,000 BC. There is just a mass of fascinating information about flying machines, even fantastic science fiction weapons that can be found in translations of The Vedas, Indian epics and other ancient Sanskrit text.” That’s Dr. Vijaya Raghavan, speaking; he was head of the Sanskrit department of the University of Madras in India (now retired). His job, if it’s not obvious, was to study The Vedas; his conclusion was that they described real events in which aliens came to Earth.
In other parts of The Vedas, we get a description of something that can only be a nuclear explosion.
“Gurkha flying in his swift and powerful Vimana hurled against the three cities of the Vrishis and Andhakas a single projectile charged with all the power of the Universe. An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousands suns, rose in all its splendor. It was the unknown weapon, the Iron Thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis and Andhakas.”
So what do we make of that? Just ancient imagination that happens to sound exactly like nuclear devastation? Sure, you deniers and skeptics, sure. You’re probably right. It’s ancient nonsense. Right?
Hungry for more?
Check out Google searches about the Nazca lines, and the Mayan king Pakal at the pyramid of Palenque. We could go on; there’s a lot of strange evidence on our Earth that is dismissed far too easily by mainstream science. Because the universe is mundane, and it has to be mundane—that is, if you’re a knee-jerk skeptic addicted to the idea that the universe is mundane.
Now, if you want to see the original film that inspired all this hysteria, it’s below: Chariots of the Gods, from the early 1970s. Yes, sure, it’s cheesy—it’s from the ’70s! But it’s still pretty cool, we think.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETDe Egyptenaren konden honderden jaren vroeger dan aangenomen lijken balsemen, zo heeft een wetenschappelijk team in de Journal of Archeological Science bericht.
Oorspronkelijk ging men ervan uit de Egyptenaren vanaf 3.700 tot 3.500 voor Christus lijken op een natuurlijke manier konden conserveren.
Maar op basis van tests op een goed bewaarde prehistorische mummie uit het Egyptologisch museum in Turijn kwam een wetenschappelijk team onder leiding van de universiteit in York (Engeland) en Macquarie (Australië) tot de bevinding dat reeds in 3.600 een rituele mummificatie van een man tussen twintig en dertig jaar heeft plaatsgevonden.
Bovendien vonden de wetenschappers aanwijzingen dat het inbalsemen in Egypte geografisch meer verspreid was dan aanvankelijk gedacht.
WETENSCHAPBelgië zal bijna 150 miljoen euro besteden aan de deelname in het Franse programma voor spionagesatellieten. De eerste van drie exemplaren moet nog voor het einde van het jaar worden gelanceerd.
Defensie is al een van de partners in de huidige familie van de Helios II-verkenningssatellieten, waarvan twee machines constant rond de aarde draaien om de klok rond beelden met een hoge resolutie te leveren.
Maar de twee satellieten Helios II A en B, gelanceerd respectievelijk eind 2004 en 2009, zullen rond 2020 aan het einde van hun levensverwachting zijn. Parijs heeft daarom een vervangingsprogramma gelanceerd, CSO genaamd (Composante Spatiale Optique). Drie Europese landen (Duitsland, Zweden en België) hebben hun krachten gebundeld om, onder Frans management, drie efficiëntere satellieten te financieren.
Het CSO-systeem bestaat uit drie identieke optische satellieten van 3,5 ton, die tussen eind 2018 en 2021 worden gelanceerd. Ze vliegen over de aarde in polaire banen van verschillende hoogten. De door België verkregen beelden zullen niet alleen worden gebruikt door Defensie, maar ook door andere federale diensten zoals de FOD Buitenlandse Zaken en de federale politie, aldus het kabinet van minister van Defensie Steven Vandeput.
België betaalde in 2013 al 49 miljoen euro om de deelname concreet te maken en industriële rendementen te verkrijgen. Defensie besliste in september vorig jaar om 98 miljoen euro te investeren. De investering is opgenomen in de strategische visie, de leidraad tot en met 2030 voor het defensiebeleid, en werd in juni 2016 door de regering goedgekeurd.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETChina heeft de robotjeep onthuld die het Aziatische land op de achterkant van de maan wil neerzetten. De Chang’e 4, die de robotjeep meevoert, moet in december een zachte landing op de ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ maken, met name in de Aitken-krater op de zuidelijke pool.
De robotjeep moet wetenschappers vervolgens data leveren over delen van onze natuurlijke satelliet die nog niet zijn geëxploreerd. De achterkant van de maan kan niet profiteren van de straling van onze zon, zegt het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA.
Het tuig weegt slechts 140 kilo en kan landen, fotograferen en exploreren, aldus de China Daily. De jeep heeft zes wielen, twee zonnepanelen, een geavanceerde radar en talrijke camera’s om het oppervlak van het hemellichaam te onderzoeken. Iedereen ter wereld mag een naam bedenken voor de zeswieler.
In mei lanceerde Peking al de sonde Queqiao om gegevens over de achterkant van de maan te verzamelen en te zoeken naar aanwijzingen van de oerknal waarmee het universum is ontstaan. Het tuig dient ook als relais voor de robotjeep.
Peking wil tegen 2030 ook een eerste Chinees op het maanoppervlak neerzetten. In 2013 liet het al een andere robotjeep de Wachter van de Aarde verkennen.

Huge ‘hairy sea monster’ washes up on Pacific coast: what can it be?
By The Siberian Times reporter
A giant furry octopus? Remains of a woolly mammoth? An unknown primeval creature from the deep?
Witness Svetlana Dyadenko said: ‘This unidentified and strange-looking creature was washed on the shore next to the village of Pakhachi, on the north-eastern side of the Kamchatka Peninsula'
The baffling behemoth - shown in a video here - was washed up in recent days on the shore of the Bering Sea, on the Pacific side of the Kamchatka peninsula.
More than three times the size of a man, the smelly heavyweight monster has puzzled locals here who are used to seeing what the ocean washes up.
It has a dirty chalk colouring, and appears to have a long tail - or tentacle - but no definite head or eyes as it lies on the dark volcanic sand.
Witness Svetlana Dyadenko posted: ‘This unidentified and strange-looking creature was washed on the shore next to the village of Pakhachi, on the north-eastern side of the Kamchatka Peninsula.'
She said: ‘The most interesting thing to me is that the creature is covered with tubular fur.
‘Could it be some ancient creature?
‘I wish scientists could inspect this enigma that ocean threw at us.’
A puzzling find off the north-eastern coast of Kamchatka peninsula.
Pictures: The Siberian Times
First comments asked her if it could be the remnants of an extinct woolly mammoth, perhaps released from an undersea permafrost grave by the warm summer.
But Svetlana said: ‘It looks more like a hairy octopus. Can’t guess what is it.
‘People who saw it could not dig or pull it out.
‘You would need an excavator because part of it got completely covered with sand.’
Commenter Slava Shatunov wrote: ‘It looks like normal fur.’
Svetlana replied: ‘It does look like fur, but it’s tubular, as if a lot of tiny pipes hang down the carcass. This is a really strange-looking creature.
‘We googled it and couldn’t find anything resembling it.’
Some suggested the 'creature' looked like a globster.
Pictures: The Siberian Times
Another confused observer suggested: ‘I wonder if it came from a thawed glacier?’
Another woman replied: ‘It’s got to have been brought from the Arctic.’
More suggestions: ‘It looks like an octopus, or the pelt of some creature’.
Svetlana replied that it seemed to be ‘the carcass of an animal - but we can’t guess which one.’
Elena Vlasova suggested: ‘It reminds of a giant squid.’
But she also asked: ‘Is it a globster?’
Eyewitness Svetlana Dyadenko replied: ’It might be a globster, but after googling it I didn’t see that people came across lobsters with tails.’
The term globster was first coined in 1962 to describe a mysterious Tasmanian carcass which was said to have "no visible eyes, no defined head, and no apparent bone structure”.
These globsters may at first resemble a gigantic octopus while others may have some bones or tentacles or flippers - or even eyes, say experts.
They are, though, not usually hairy as this one is. Scientists have suggested globsters are declared carcasses of large sea creatures, like whales or sharks.
They might be lumps of whale blubber released from decaying corpses.
Yet the hair or fur on this Kamchatka monster doesn’t seem to fit with this description.
But Kamchatka marine biologist Sergei Kornev today partly validated the globster theory.
He believes the monster to be part of a decaying sea mammal.
'Under the influence of the sea, time and various animals, from the smallest to the largest, a whale often takes on bizarre forms.
‘This is only a part of a whale, not a whole one.'
Enorm harig zeemonster aangespoeld in Siberië. Wat zou dit kunnen zijn?
Deze week is in Siberië een harig zeemonster aangespoeld. Het vreemde zeedier, dat drie keer zo groot is als een mens, stelt lokale bewoners voor een raadsel.
Het wezen heeft een lange staart of tentakel, maar lijkt geen hoofd of ogen te hebben.
“Dit ongeïdentificeerde, vreemde wezen is aangespoeld bij Pakhatsji in het noordoosten van het schiereiland Kamtsjatka,” schreef getuige Svetlana Djadenko.
Raadsel
“Het meest interessante is dat het wezen is bedekt met een kokervormige vacht,” voegde ze toe.
“Is het misschien een heel oud wezen?” vroeg ze. “Ik hoop dat wetenschappers dit raadsel kunnen oplossen.”
Sommigen dachten aan de resten van de uitgestorven wolharige mammoet, die mogelijk als gevolg van de smeltende permafrost aan het oppervlak zijn gekomen.
Globster
“Het lijkt meer op een harige octopus,” zei Svetlana. “Ik heb geen idee wat dit is. Dit is echt een vreemd wezen.”
Ze zocht op Google naar soortgelijke zeedieren, maar kon niets vinden wat erop leek.
Elena Vlasova vroeg of het misschien een globster is. De term globster werd bedacht om een onidentificeerbaar karkas uit 1960 in Tasmanië te beschrijven.
Bizarre vorm
Zeebioloog Sergei Kornev denkt dat het gaat om het lichaam van een zeezoogdier dat in staat van ontbinding is. Hierdoor zou het een bizarre vorm hebben aangenomen.
“Dit is een deel van een walvis, niet een hele,” zei hij.
We don’t know for certain what it is and there is no way to verify it.
That’s how one State Department adviser recently described the unexplained behavior of a mysterious Russian satellite in orbit. Where’s the Space Force when you need it? If reports are correct, they might be called into action sooner than we think. Anomalous satellite activity has become somewhat commonplace over the last few years as the world’s superpowers vie for space supremacy. Reports of Russian “killer” satellites, secret space bases, and black rocket launches have surfaced, leading some intelligence agencies to suggest war in space is coming.
World War III? More like Space War I.
Now, remarks made by the U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance seems to suggest that the Russians are indeed up to something fishy in orbit. While speaking at the recent Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, assistant secretary Yleem Poblete stated that an unknown Russian craft or satellite in orbit has begun displaying anomalous activity which have U.S. intelligence analysts scratching their heads:
In October of last year the Russian Ministry of Defense deployed a space object they claimed was a “space apparatus inspector.” But its behavior on-orbit was inconsistent with anything seen before from on-orbit inspection or space situational awareness capabilities, including other Russian inspection satellite activities. We are concerned with what appears to be very abnormal behavior by a declared “space apparatus inspector.”
Could she be describing the mysterious “capsule” allegedly sent to the ISS last October? Could this be related to the mysterious destruction of several satellites over the past year? It’s unclear. Whatever the case is, satellite-to-satellite warfare is clearly now a chief concern for defense agencies. The entire military and intelligence apparatus relies on the instantaneous global connectivity provided by satellites, and without them the military is ‘blind’ in many ways.
Don’t worry: the X-37B will save us.
Is this merely further saber-rattling to justify the creation of the Space Force, or is the Russian military truly up to something nefarious in space? With all of the disinformation on all sides right now geopolitically speaking, it’s tough to say. One thing is certain: tin foil hats aren’t strong enough to protect your skull from debris from falling space fighters. You’re gonna need a bunker for that.
What happened to the people who carved the giant heads on Easter Island? If you said, “Don’t you mean the giant statues buried up to their heads on Easter Island?” you definitely know your moai. So, what happened to the people who created the giant statues buried up to their necks on Easter Island? If you said, “They destroyed their civilization through infighting and natural resource depletion,” you need to update your Rapa Nui history. A new study used geology to determine that the Rapa Nui society was actually very cooperative and something else other than infighting caused their demise. What? Or whom?
“Ancient Rapa Nui had chiefs, priests, and guilds of workers who fished, farmed, and made the moai. There was a certain level of sociopolitical organization that was needed to carve almost a thousand statues.”
Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History scientist Laure Dussubieux and Dale Simpson, Jr., an archaeologist from the University of Queensland, co-authored the study published this week in the Journal of Pacific Archaeology one of the study’s authors. They were part of a team which excavated four entire giant statues under the direction of Jo Anne Van Tilburg of Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, UCLA and director of the Easter Island Statue Project . During that process, they found about 1,600 stone tools called toki and were able to remove basalt stone fragments from about 20 of them. A chemical and mass spectrometer analysis of the basalt was an eye-opener to Dale Simpson, according to his interview with Phys.org.
“The majority of the toki came from one quarry complex — once the people found the quarry they liked, they stayed with it. For everyone to be using one type of stone, I believe they had to collaborate. That’s why they were so successful — they were working together.”
Living together on a small island, quarrying giant stones, carving them into giant statues and moving them to far locations … cooperation would seem to be a key to this type of society. So, if they all got along, why did they fall apart? This new discovery lends credence to the alternating theory that the arrival of Europeans and their diseases and the institution of slavery destroyed most of the Rapa Nui society. In this case, the fact that all of the tools came from one quarry could indicate that the slaves were forced to mine from one location.
What caused the disappearance of the Rapa Nui? The researchers leave that question unanswered … perhaps they still don’t know … perhaps they want to spend more time on Easter Island. Until their next study, the answer to “What happened to the people who created the giant statues buried up to their necks on Easter Island?” is “all of the above.”
A video appearing online recently purports to show a “mystery aircraft” in the distance as it passes over Lake Norman near Charlotte, North Carolina.
The footage, which is at times unreasonably shaky, seems to show a large, dark form moving slowly above Lake Norman in the distance. Unfortunately, the viewer is given a better perspective of the parking lot adjacent to the boat ramp than of the object, which only makes fleeting appearances–despite moving slowly–due to the poor camerawork.
Nonetheless, the footage has managed to gain traction online, after being picked up and featured on Drudge Report and The Daily Star, in addition to several YouTube channels.
The footage as it originally appeared online can be seen below:
The footage was obtained by Jason Swing, who allegedly filmed the object with his Smartphone on May 29, according to Mark Price at the Charlotte Observer.
“Hey, this is a spacecraft,” a man who appears to be Swing can be heard saying at the beginning of the video, before it shakily turns in the direction of what appears to be an object moving slowly over Lake Norman. Little can be discerned about the shape or size of the object, or the actual distance it might have been from the parking lot where Swing stood while filming it. At one point in the footage, Swing appears to call to someone nearby, seeking acknowledgment that they were able to see the object as well.
It is unclear if the footage was a hoax, or if it was merely intended as a prank (Swing is suspiciously nonchalant as he advises viewers about the “spacecraft” they are about to see at the video’s outset). However, one commenter identified as MrBoomer13 pointed out that Swing’s YouTube channel has featured videos of drones in the past, which might suggest that the object over Lake Norman–if real at all–had simply been a drone.
Still from Swain’s footage, purporting to show a large object moving slowly over Lake Norman, NC
(Jason Swain, YouTube).
Others felt there was an even simpler explanation. Joe Browder commented that the object might have simply been a passenger plane:
“Nope. Just a passenger jet coming out of Charlotte Douglas Airport. Flying low (below the cloud deck) on northbound track from airport. See this all the time up there. Look at the tops of the trees and bushes each time the video shows the plane and you see that it is steadily moving left to right. Going to look like hovering and slow movement since it is about 4 miles away.”
The Linville Gorge Wilderness, just two hours away near Linville, North Carolina, is home to purported earthlights that often appear after rainstorms. Known as the Brown Mountain Lights, on many occasions, the lights of distant aircraft flying out of Charlotte Douglas and other airports in the region can be mistaken for lights hovering over adjacent mountain ridges.
It remains unclear what, precisely (if anything) appears in Swain’s video. Had the camera remained still for longer than short bursts of two-second intervals, perhaps more about the object could be discerned. Or for all we know, perhaps there was a legitimate object in the distance, which Swain either wasn’t taking seriously enough to try and do a good job filming, or perhaps was just too excited to keep in-frame.
If you observe something unusual in the sky, some helpful tips that will improve the quality of your footage are as follows:
1) Attempt to orient the object you are filming in the center of the frame, rather than the parking lot pavement nearby. It may help to try and fit other objects in the frame with the anomaly, as this can help judge size, distance, the rate of speed, etc.
2) Steady your arm by resting it against a fixture nearby (such as one of the signs in the parking lot you’re standing in). If no such fixture exists, try kneeling and resting your elbow against your knee as your film the object.
3) Try to remain calm, and breath normally (rather than shouting at others nearby), as this will also help you maintain a steady shot.
4) Film the unidentified object for as long as you can (instead of cutting away while the object is still plainly visible and proclaiming “I gotta go”).
Sadly, if there actually were anything of interest in this footage, it’s too shaky to be able to discern anything about it. Granted, it is worth noting that the engine noise of what appears to be a conventional commercial airliner can be plainly heard as the object passes over the lake. Hence, while our money would probably have to go with YouTuber Joe Browder and the “passenger jet” theory, the footage above nonetheless offers us a few great examples of what not to do while attempting to film what might be a UFO.
It’s no secret that the CIA has engaged in some downright spooky and rather out-there stuff over the years. Between attempting to kill goats by staring at them and experimenting with remote viewing, the CIA has looked into some of the deeper mysteries of the human mind in order to, well, whatever it is the CIA really does. Keep tabs on foes and friends alike? Monitor and regulate the global zeitgeist in an attempt to maintain the current world order? Control our minds?
Probably all of the above.
When it comes to that last one, it’s well known that the CIA experimented with mind control through its infamous MKUltra experiments carried out in the mid-twentieth century. Families of victims of those experiments have made some progress in seeking truth and reconciliation for those horrible experiments which took some unfortunate subjects’ lives and ruined untold others, but it’s likely we don’t yet know the extent or damage of those experiments.
To that end, John Greenwald at the Black Vault has crowdfunded a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to pay the CIA’s fees for his latest Freedom of Information Act Request (FOIA) regarding MKUltra documents. Greenwald has spent years requesting documents related to MK Ultra, finally receiving a trove of records in 2016 – records which were missing hundreds of pages. 4,358 pages to be exact. After years of petitioning the CIA and jumping through bureaucratic hoop after bureaucratic hoop, the CIA finally told Greenwald they’d cough the documents up for $425.80.
The price of paper must have gone up.
Greenwald was able to raise $627, which he hopes will cover any other hidden fees or charges the desk spooks at the CIA conjure up to try and keep these documents in the dark. What exactly might be hidden within their pages? We’ll have to wait and see. Stay tuned, and check out the Black Vault in the meantime. It’s a deep rabbit hole of some of the U.S. government’s darkest secrets.
I’ll celebrate the release of the documents like any other mystery hunter, but you’ve really got to wonder: what about all the stuff that was purposefully kept off the books? You don’t really think that they keep documentation of every single experiment and shadow black operation do you? If world leaders really had knowledge of superintelligent extraterrestrial or even intraterrestrial beings, would they really want us to know? I’m no “Deep State” or “QAnon” kook, but it’s foolish to deny that there are likely entire intelligence organizations or black research projects funded by governments that are completely in the shadows, never to see the light of public scrutiny.
Security guard sees and films an "alien creature" in Argentina
A strange incident has occurred on Saturday, August 4, 2018 at about 5 in the morning in the city of Cordoba, Villa Maria, Argentina, more exactly in an area of the former Aero Club, including Ramon Carrillo neighborhood and the campus of the National University of Villa Maria.
Eduardo, the security guard of one of the neighboring companies (BPB), saw several lights moving over the field behind the company's building, near a mountain, so he decided to investigate it.
When he arrived at the scene, about 200 meters from his position, he found several circular marks on the burned grass that still emanated smoke and are very visible in the video recorded by Eduardo.
But what most surprised the security guard was the encounter with a creature that seems to be crouched on the ground and then escapes to the bushes.
The security guard Eduardo states:
"I saw something like an animal ... but it was not, so I screamed and then started shooting in the air with my pistol. It was a strange thing out of the ordinary."
In the video you can see/hear a fearful Eduardo at the moment he is running to the strange creature on which the creature then escapes.
It is not yet known if the company that owns the land has initiated an investigation or analysis of possible traces of UFOs.
The Vision Ovni who reported the incident also said that in recent months several ufological phenomena have been reported in the area, such as cattle mutilations, where animals were found with unexplained surgical cuts.
According to a report of unosantafe, about 50 km from the bizarre incident, in the town of Colonia Duran a farmer lost seven pregnant cows under mysterious circumstances which appear to be connected to the cattle mutilation phenomenon that had seemingly unfolded overnight on his property.
The farmer said that their tongues and genitals were removed with precise cuts, it looked like they had been done it with a laser.
The flesh around the animals' jaws had also been removed during the mysterious mutilation, yet there was no blood to be found near the mutilated cows. Scavengers refused to go near the dead animals and their bodies attracted no flies.
A number of residents claim to have seen unexplained lights hovering in the area of the cattle mutilation which corresponds to what the security guard has seen and experienced.
Below the bizarre footage filmed by the security guard.
