Satellite Photo Shows A Round Object Beneath Water Off Greek Coast

Ufologists online have come into a frenzy after the discovery of a mysterious circular shape on satellite maps of Google. They are speculating that it could be a hidden submersible off the coast of Greece.

Website Disclose.TV, which posts information about aliens and UFOs, got the people’s attention after it published the circular object online. The unidentified submersible object was reportedly viewed online through Google Maps in the Aegean Sea.

The object is approximately 220 feet long using the ruler on Google Earth for the measurement. It is not established whether the UFO has ever been seen for real or just the image as a result of an optical illusion, such as a trick of the light.

Several folks offer their suggestion as to what the satellite imagery is showing. Many of them believe that the mysterious thing is newly-found evidence that we are not alone.

One commentator says that something here doesn’t belong. They describe the find as an impressive catch and would love to hear the official excuses on this one.

A second person states that it is indeed weird as nothing in the area looks remotely like that object.

A more skeptical commenter said that the shadow underwater could be from the old pier.

However, for now, the actual cause of the bizarre shape stays a mystery. Anyone can view the location on Google Maps here.

Space Agency Observes Strange Flashes Of Light On the Moon

Two great flashes of light were observed erupting on the dark side of the Moon. A sector of conspiracy theorists has suggested these lights could be alien UFOs.

On the nights of July 17 and 18, the Moon Impacts Detection and Analysis System (MIDAS) observed the bizarre phenomena.

MIDAS observatories in Spain search the Lunar surface on a daily basis for asteroid and meteor impacts.

According to the European Space Agency (ESA), the flashes were registered almost precisely 24 hours apart, apparently in pursuit of one another.

High-sensitivity CCD cameras capture detailed photographs of the bumpy surface of the moon that show the exact moment of impact.

Both MIDAS and the ESA agree the flashes were very much extraterrestrial in origin.

The force of impact is tremendous, but current estimate suggests that the extraterrestrial objects were no larger than the average walnut.

ESA said that transient flashes such as these are hard to study and challenging to determine the cause.

Three astronomical observatories in Spain work on behalf of the MIDAS project to scan the Moon for the transient flashes. They are equipped with powerful telescopes and CCD cameras to detect and try to identify the various impacts that rock the bright orb.

MIDAS believe that understanding these lunar impacts can help protect the Earth from similar dangers.

• Credible reports of a meteor exploding with 2.1 kiolotons of force above a US Air Force early warning radar at Thule Air Base in Greenland have surfaced.
• The Air Force has been silent on the event.
• NASA did provide a Tweet with data showing record of an object of unspecified size traveling at 24.4 Kilometers per second (about 54,000 MPH or Mach 74) almost directly over Thule, Greenland.

A curious and credible Tweet from the Director of the Nuclear Information Project for the Federation of American Scientists, Hans Kristensen, on August 1, 2018 at 5:14 PM Washington D.C. time claimed that a, "Meteor explodes with 2.1 kilotons force 43 km above missile early warning radar at Thule Air Base."

The Tweet apparently originated from Twitter user "Rocket Ron", a "Space Explorer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory". The original Tweet read, "A fireball was detected over Greenland on July 25, 2018 by US Government sensors at an altitude of 43.3 km. The energy from the explosion is estimated to be 2.1 kilotons." Rocket Ron's Tweet hit in the afternoon on Jul. 31.

The incident is fascinating for a long list of reasons, not the least of which is how the Air Force integrates the use of social media reporting (and non-reporting) into their official flow of information. As of this writing, no reporting about any such event appears on the public news website of the 12th Space Warning Squadron based at Thule, the 21st Space Wing, or the Wing's 821st Air Base Group that operates and maintains Thule Air Base in support of missile warning, space surveillance and satellite command and control operations missions.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory did provide a Tweet with a screenshot of data showing record of an object of unspecified size traveling at (!) 24.4 Kilometers per second (about 54,000 MPH or Mach 74) at 76.9 degrees' north latitude, 69.0 degrees' west longitude on July 25, 2018 at 11:55 PM. That latitude and longitude does check out as almost directly over Thule, Greenland.

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory showed the object’s reentry on their database. JPL via Twitter

When you look at NASA's Near Earth Object (NEO) Program database for objects entering the atmosphere you see that, "The data indicate that small asteroids struck Earth's atmosphere - resulting in what astronomers call a bolide (a fireball, or bright meteor) - on 556 separate occasions in a 20-year period. Almost all asteroids of this size disintegrate in the atmosphere and are usually harmless." That is a rate of one asteroid, or "bolide", every 13 days over the 20-year study according to a 2014 article by Deborah Byrd for Science Wire as published on EarthSky.org.

But there are exceptions.

You may recall the sensational YouTube and social media videos of the very large Chelyabinsk meteor that struck the earth on Feb. 15, 2013. Luckily it entered the earth's atmosphere at a shallow trajectory and largely disintegrated. Had it entered at a more perpendicular angle, it would have struck the earth with significantly greater force. Scientists report that Chelyabinsk was the largest meteor to hit the earth in the modern recording period, over 60-feet (20 meters) in diameter. Over 7,000 buildings were damaged and 1,500 people injured from the incident.

What is perhaps most haunting about the Chelyabinsk Meteor and, perhaps we may learn, this most recent Thule, Greenland incident, is that there was no warning (at least, not publicly). No satellites in orbit detected the Chelyabinsk Meteor, no early warning system knew it was coming according to scientists. Because the radiant or origin of the Chelyabinsk Meteor was out of the sun, it was difficult to detect in advance. It arrived with total surprise.

Northern Russia seems to be a magnet for titanic meteor strikes. The fabled Tunguska Event of 1908 was a meteor that struck in the Kraznoyarsk Krai region of Siberia. It flattened over 770 square miles of Siberian taiga forest but, curiously, seems to have left no crater, suggesting it likely disintegrated entirely about 6 miles above the earth. The massive damage done to the taiga forest was from the shockwave of the object entering the atmosphere prior to disintegration. While this recent Thule, Greenland event is very large at 2.1 kilotons (2,100 tons of TNT) of force for the explosion, the Tunguska Event is estimated to have been as large as 15 megatons (15 million tons of TNT).

It will be interesting to see how (and if) popular news media and the official defense news outlets process this recent Thule, Greenland incident. But while we wait to see how the media responds as the Twitter dust settles from the incident, it's worth at least a minor exhale knowing this is another big object that missed hitting the earth in a different location at a different angle and potentially with a different outcome.

Drought played a key role in the demise of the Mayan civilization

 BY MIHAI ANDREI

The Maya built one of the greatest civilizations in the Americas, and the story of their demise has fascinated people for centuries. Now, a new study reports that environmental aspects — particularly, drought — were a key aspect of their decline.

The first mention of a true Maya civilization hails from millennia ago, in 2000 BC. They reached the peak of their power much later, during the Classic period, which lasted up until the year 900 CE. Most Mayan cities were sprawling architectural displays, featuring dazzling palaces, pyramid-temples, ceremonial ballcourts, and structures aligned for astronomical observation. The Mayans tended to develop haphazardly, showing little concern for what the future could bring — and who could blame them? During their zenith, they controlled the entire Yucatán Peninsula and all of the territory now incorporated into the modern countries of Guatemala and Belize, as well as the western reaches of Honduras and El Salvador.

But their lack of concern was not without consequence after all. During the 9th century, their power started to decline. Their beautiful limestone cities were abandoned and step by step, the Maya civilization withdrew and quickly entered decline. There are mentions of Mayans after the year 1000 CE, but their civilization was almost completely wiped off.

The reasons for their decline are not simple — invasion, war, environmental degradation, and collapsing trade routes all had a role to play. But in the 1990s, an interesting theory emerged: after correlating the Maya decline with environmental data, researchers found a period of extended drought — long and severe enough to affect the stability of the empire built by the Maya.

“The role of climate change in the collapse of Classic Maya civilisation is somewhat controversial, partly because previous records are limited to qualitative reconstructions, for example whether conditions were wetter or drier,” said Nick Evans, a PhD student in Cambridge’s Department of Earth Sciences and the paper’s first author.

“Our study represents a substantial advance as it provides statistically robust estimates of rainfall and humidity levels during the Maya downfall.”

Evans and colleagues analyzed the different isotopes of water trapped in gypsum — a mineral that can form on the bottom of lakes during periods of severe drought. They found that annual precipitation levels decreased between 41% and 54% during the period of the Maya civilization’s collapse, with periods of peak drought corresponding to a 70% reduction in rainfall.

Professor David Hodell, Director of Cambridge’s Godwin Laboratory for Palaeoclimate Research and the senior author of the current paper, was the first to draw a correlation between the drought and the period of Mayan decline. He praised the gypsum-measuring methodology, saying that it leaves very little room for interpretation.

“This method is highly accurate and is almost like measuring the water itself,” said Evans.

While the circumstances that lead to the decline of the Maya are complex and drought cannot be singled out as the one big culprit yet, it does seem that at the very least, drought was an important aspect of it.

Now, researchers will try to use more localized measurements and build more precise models, to see how the drought would have affected agriculture — most importantly, the Maya’s staple crops, such as maize.

Scientists identify exoplanets where life could develop as it did on Earth

The researchers, from the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (MRC LMB), found that the chances for life to develop on the surface of a rocky planet like Earth are connected to the type and strength of light given off by its host star.

Their study, published in the journal Science Advances, proposes that stars which give off sufficient ultraviolet (UV) light could kick-start life on their orbiting planets in the same way it likely developed on Earth, where the UV light powers a series of chemical reactions that produce the building blocks of life.

The researchers have identified a range of planets where the UV light from their host star is sufficient to allow these chemical reactions to take place, and that lie within the habitable range where liquid water can exist on the planet's surface.

"This work allows us to narrow down the best places to search for life," said Dr. Paul Rimmer, a postdoctoral researcher with a joint affiliation at Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory and the MRC LMB, and the paper's first author. "It brings us just a little bit closer to addressing the question of whether we are alone in the universe."

The new paper is the result of an ongoing collaboration between the Cavendish Laboratory and the MRC LMB, bringing together organic chemistry and exoplanet research. It builds on the work of Professor John Sutherland, a co-author on the current paper, who studies the chemical origin of life on Earth.

In a paper published in 2015, Professor Sutherland's group at the MRC LMB proposed that cyanide, although a deadly poison, was in fact a key ingredient in the primordial soup from which all life on Earth originated.

In this hypothesis, carbon from meteorites that slammed into the young Earth interacted with nitrogen in the atmosphere to form hydrogen cyanide. The hydrogen cyanide rained to the surface, where it interacted with other elements in various ways, powered by the UV light from the sun. The chemicals produced from these interactions generated the building blocks of RNA, the close relative of DNA which most biologists believe was the first molecule of life to carry information.

In the laboratory, Sutherland's group recreated these chemical reactions under UV lamps, and generated the precursors to lipids, amino acids and nucleotides, all of which are essential components of living cells.

"I came across these earlier experiments, and as an astronomer, my first question is always what kind of light are you using, which as chemists they hadn't really thought about," said Rimmer. "I started out measuring the number of photons emitted by their lamps, and then realised that comparing this light to the light of different stars was a straightforward next step."

The two groups performed a series of laboratory experiments to measure how quickly the building blocks of life can be formed from hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulphite ions in water when exposed to UV light. They then performed the same experiment in the absence of light.

"There is chemistry that happens in the dark: it's slower than the chemistry that happens in the light, but it's there," said senior author Professor Didier Queloz, also from the Cavendish Laboratory. "We wanted to see how much light it would take for the light chemistry to win out over the dark chemistry."

The same experiment run in the dark with the hydrogen cyanide and the hydrogen sulphite resulted in an inert compound which could not be used to form the building blocks of life, while the experiment performed under the lights did result in the necessary building blocks.

The researchers then compared the light chemistry to the dark chemistry against the UV light of different stars. They plotted the amount of UV light available to planets in orbit around these stars to determine where the chemistry could be activated.

They found that stars around the same temperature as our sun emitted enough light for the building blocks of life to have formed on the surfaces of their planets. Cool stars, on the other hand, do not produce enough light for these building blocks to be formed, except if they have frequent powerful solar flares to jolt the chemistry forward step by step. Planets that both receive enough light to activate the chemistry and could have liquid water on their surfaces reside in what the researchers have called the abiogenesis zone.

Among the known exoplanets which reside in the abiogenesis zone are several planets detected by the Kepler telescope, including Kepler 452b, a planet that has been nicknamed Earth's 'cousin', although it is too far away to probe with current technology. Next-generation telescopes, such as NASA's TESS and James Webb Telescopes, will hopefully be able to identify and potentially characterise many more planets that lie within the abiogenesis zone.

Of course, it is also possible that if there is life on other planets, that it has or will develop in a totally different way than it did on Earth.

"I'm not sure how contingent life is, but given that we only have one example so far, it makes sense to look for places that are most like us," said Rimmer. "There's an important distinction between what is necessary and what is sufficient. The building blocks are necessary, but they may not be sufficient: it's possible you could mix them for billions of years and nothing happens. But you want to at least look at the places where the necessary things exist."

According to recent estimates, there are as many as 700 million trillion terrestrial planets in the observable universe. "Getting some idea of what fraction have been, or might be, primed for life fascinates me," said Sutherland. "Of course, being primed for life is not everything and we still don't know how likely the origin of life is, even given favourable circumstances—if it's really unlikely then we might be alone, but if not, we may have company."

People claim to be healed thanks to the “Bosnian pyramids” in Visoko

Among more than 3,000 volunteers from 62 countries who visited Visoko at their own expense in order to “dig the world’s largest mystery”, was Veronika Vranko from Slovakia. She had problems with her lungs that had only 47 % of capacity, and after the recommendation of specialists in lung diseases Peter Hajduk from Prague, she decided to visit Visoko.

It’s gotten to the point where it seems as if the Chinese Communist Party mines dystopian science fiction for ideas. Of course, life reflects art and art reflects life, so it’s likely both are just making use of new technological and social developments for their own benefit. Whatever the case is, ever since Mao Zedong announced the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, China’s governing party has found new innovative ways to keep track of its citizens and more importantly, their thought-crimes.

Aside from the Orwellian Social Credit System the commies recently unveiled, a new report published by the South China Morning Post points out that Chinese surveillance has already taken a turn for the terrifying. It turns out that as far-fetched as it may seem, Chinese military and government agencies are using robotic birds to surveil citizens from the skies. Can any bird be trusted in light of this revelation?

MOVE ALONG, CITIZEN.

Disguising spy drones as birds is pretty ingenious. Do any of us really look that closely at birds flying overhead? The drones can fly high enough that they look like any normal bird, are close to silent, and even realistically flap their wings. The SCMPreports that 30 different agencies have deployed the birdbots in at least five different Chinese provinces.

Yang Wenqing, an associate professor at the School of Aeronautics at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xian, worked on the team which developed the dove drone project, code-named “Dove” appropriately enough. Yang says that while the drones are still only being rolled out on a small scale, the ChiComs plan to fill their skies with flocks of the dystopian avian onlookers in the near future:

The scale is still small. We believe the technology has good potential for large-scale use in the future … it has some unique advantages to meet the demand for drones in the military and civilian sectors.

The drones have already been used in China’s restive Xinjiang “autonomous” region to keep tabs on the Uyghur people who aren’t happy that the Chinese Communist Party drew their new borders around them without asking. Great job choosing a symbol of peace as a symbol of unwanted control too, CCP.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, CITIZEN.

While it’s easy to dismiss this as another example of China’s ongoing march deeper into a dystopian sci-fi hellscape with Chinese characteristics™, it has to make you wonder next time you’re out and about: are those birds overhead really just birds? If China is filling their skies with robot spies, it’s only inevitable that other countries already are too. Who knows where else technological spies might be lurking? That creepy always-on home smart speaker you use to tell you the weather? The microphone and camera you carry around in your pocket everywhere you go? Your microwave? Inside your head? 

If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself. You must know all the while that it is there, but until it is needed you must never let it emerge into your consciousness in any shape that could be given a name.

Forget hats. Wrap your whole house in tin foil, throw out all your devices, and go off grid.

The doves are coming.

Moon size UFO recorded by NASA near Earths sun, July 31, 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: July 31, 2018

Location of sighting: Earths sun, SOHO images

Here is a moon size UFO near our sun this week. The UFO has several long arms, which makes me think this is a space station that wanders our solar system. Currently its near our sun because its trying to use some rare particles that the sun produces to power its craft and devices. Found in the SOHO NASA images, this UFO is just one of many per day that visit our sun. Some UFOs are many times bigger than this, yet go unreported, because...how would the public react if they knew that not only were we not alone in our solar system, but UFOs bigger than earth itself commonly passed by our planet? The public would panic, suicide rates would skyrocket, alien religions like Scientology would become powerhouses in the religious sectors, anti alien groups would form and arm themselves. And what effect would this have on financial and judicial systems of the world? There would be chaos! Therefore the governments of the world remain silent.

Ancient Underground City and Pyramid Found near Tiwanaku

A group of archeologists from Bolivia has found an underground city dating back to pre-Inca times outside the ancient archaeological site of Tiwanaku, in the province of Ingavi, in the department of La Paz, as reported by the Bolivian Ministry of Cultures and Tourism.

“With new data obtained with the help of modern technology, consisting of precision cameras that took pictures from the air and infrared surveys, was found a pre-Hispanic citadel outside the archaeological perimeter. There, we found an underground plaza and up to two platforms of what is considered a pyramid,” wrote in a statement the Bolivian Ministry of Cultures and Tourism.

The discovery took place within the framework of the preservation and conservation works of Tiwanaku, carried out in the area with the cooperation of scientists from Japan and UNESCO.

According to experts, the excavation could take up to 50 years to reveal that what is hidden beneath the surface.

“Excavation drilling will be carried out in the southwest and north, with the aim of confirming or delegitimizing the data obtained,” said Julio Condori, general director of the Center for Archaeological, Anthropological and Administration Research of Tiwanaku (Ciaat).

The ancient citadel of Tiwanaku, together with Puma Punku, are some of the most mysterious ancient sites in Bolivia. Home to stones and megaliths that defy logic, these two sites are a treasure trove for archeologists.

It is one of the main tourist destinations in Bolivia. Its main attractions are the Temples of Kalasasaya and Puma Punku, the Puerta del Sol, the Pyramid of Akapana and a series of other gigantic monoliths that were erected thousands of years ago by a mysterious people.

It is believed that its builder civilization arose on the shores of Lake Titicaca in the year 1,580 B.C., and disappeared by 1200 AD. In 1945, Arthur Posnansky estimated that Tiwanaku dated to 15,000 BC based on his archaeoastronomical techniques.

It is suspected that climatic effects and pests decimated the population.

According to the experts, one of the oldest cultures in South America, the ancestor of the Aymaras and the Quechuas, called the area their home.

If researchers confirm the new discovery, it would force us to rethink the idea that Tiwanaku was only a ceremonial center and consider it was a massive ancient metropolis, divided by several large complexes.

How the Parker probe was built to survive close encounters with the sun

The tech bound for the sun’s atmosphere had to be tested for heat, rattle and cold

BY 

LISA GROSSMAN 

 

HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT  The Parker Solar Probe, shown in this artist’s illustration, is about to go where no spacecraft has gone before: the sun. To make sure the probe can survive a dip in the solar atmosphere, engineers had to get creative in testing the technology.

APL, NASA GSFC

NASA has a mantra for preparing spacecraft to launch: “Test as you fly.” The idea is to test the entire spacecraft, fully assembled, in the same environment and configuration that it will see in orbit.

But the Parker Solar Probe, set to launch August 11, is no ordinary spacecraft (SN Online: 7/5/2018). And it’s headed to no ordinary environment. Parker will sweep through the sun’s scorching hot atmosphere for humankind’s first close encounter with the star at the center of the solar system.

“Solar Probe is a little bit special,” says space plasma physicist Stuart Bale of the University of California, Berkeley. Getting the whole kit and caboodle into a setting that simulated the sun’s energetic particles, intense light and searing heat “was deemed impossible.” Scientists had to get creative to test the technology that will touch the sun, using everything from huge mirrors to dust tunnels to reams of paper.

Taking the heat

The first order of business was to find materials that can stand the heat. The sun’s atmosphere, or corona, sizzles at millions of degrees Celsius — but it is so diffuse that it doesn’t pose much threat to the spacecraft (SN Online: 8/20/17). Direct sunlight, however, can heat exposed components to around 1370° Celsius. Two of the spacecraft’s scientific instruments, plus parts of its solar panels and its revolutionary heat shield, will be exposed to that searing sunlight at all times.

“Normal things … would melt,” says solar physicist Kelly Korreck of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass.

Korreck works on the Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons instrument, known by its acronym SWEAP, which will catch the charged particles of the solar wind with a sensor called a Faraday cup (SN Online: 8/18/17). “It actually sticks around the heat shield and will be able to touch the sun,” Korreck says. “That cup is special.”

FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE Tests of the probe’s revolutionary heat shield in a huge vacuum chamber at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center checked its ability to handle swings between hot and cold temperatures.

ED WHITMAN/JHU-APL, NASA

To build the cup and other instruments that will see the sun directly, engineers settled on three main materials — a niobium alloy called C103 that is used in rocket engines, an alloy of titanium, zirconium and molybdenum called TZM, and tungsten. Some cables carrying power to the SWEAP cup are also lined with sapphire, a good insulator at high temperatures. And the probe’s heat shield is made of two kinds of carbon-based materials.

Figuring out how each of these materials would behave in space was tricky. Engineers couldn't just use an oven to test the metals, which in heat can react with oxygen to rust or corrode. Carbon also can react with oxygen to combust. So the team had to test pieces of the instruments in airless vacuum chambers.

“Getting things hot on Earth is easier than you would think it is,” says Elizabeth Congdon of Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md., the lead engineer for the heat shield. “Getting things hot on Earth in vacuum is difficult.”

One way the Parker team mimicked the sun’s heat was using actual sunlight. Engineers took material samples to the world’s largest solar furnace, the PROMES facility in Odeillo, France. A series of 63 mirrors built on a hillside redirect sunlight onto an enormous concave mirror on the side of an eight-story building. That mirror then focuses the sunlight into a beam no more than 80 centimeters wide that heats materials to 3000° C inside a small vacuum chamber in a laboratory on stilts.

The beam is so hot, “you can take a two-by-four and swing it through the beam, and it burns right off,” Bale says. “Just a flash of smoke and it’s gone.” Bale leads another of the probe’s experiments called FIELDS that also needed heat testing. FIELDS is comprised of five long antennas, four of which will be exposed to the sun, that will measure electric and magnetic fields in the corona.

The SWEAP team needed an even more realistic simulator, one that would deliver intense sunlight at the angles that Parker will experience. They found an unlikely solution in IMAX film projectors, which emit light in a similar range of wavelengths to the sun.

“It took a completely custom test facility to do it,” says astrophysicist Anthony Case of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, who also works on the SWEAP instrument. He and his colleagues turned four IMAX projectors around so the lamps focused light into a small vacuum chamber, rather than spreading it across a huge screen. That gave the team the right light intensity and angles to test their instrument.

Biting the dust

Solar heat isn’t the only threat to the Parker Solar Probe. The region around the sun is also expected to be full of dust, left over from the formation of the planets. Scientists don’t know exactly how much dust to expect, but it’s likely to be moving almost as fast as the spacecraft, about 170 kilometers per second.

That’s a big worry for Parker’s twin telescopes, together called the Wide-field Imager for Solar Probe, or WISPR. One of the telescopes will be facing the direction that Parker is traveling, so it will be heading directly into the dust storm. “It can’t be protected,” says astrophysicist Russell Howard of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C.

Dust particles hitting the telescope’s lens leave it pocked with little craters. Only 0.6 percent of the lens should be pitted by the end of Parker’s seven-year mission, according to computer models of dust in the inner solar system. But even a few pits can skew the data, so the team wanted to minimize the damage by choosing the right glass.

Howard and colleagues tested three possible materials for the lens in a dust acceleration tunnel at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany. The tunnel accelerated charged iron particles, ranging from half a micrometer to 3 micrometers wide, to speeds between half a kilometer per second to 8 kilometers per second — fast enough for the scientists to extrapolate up to the dust speeds Parker might experience.

Sapphire withstood the barrage best, but it was unclear how it would behave as a lens. The team also rejected diamond-coated BK7 glass, commonly used for space telescopes, after the coating separated from the glass and left an extra ring around the impact spot. Regular, uncoated BK7 was the winner.

Swinging the temperatures 

Most of the spacecraft won’t have to worry about the dust or the sun’s extreme heat. Aside from SWEAP and FIELDS, almost everything is tucked behind the all-important heat shield.

That 2.5-meter-wide heat shield is made of carbon foam sandwiched between two carbon sheets. The whole thing is just 11.5 centimeters thick, and is coated on the sun-facing side with white ceramic paint to reflect as much sunlight as possible. Even then, that side could get as hot as 1370° C. But behind it, the bulk of the spacecraft will chill at an average of just 30° C (about 85° Fahrenheit).

“We hide in the shadows,” says solar physicist Eric Christian of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. He’s the deputy principal investigator of the Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun experiment, which will measure solar particles across a wide range of energies. His team was able to build with ordinary materials and skip the rigorous heat testing. “We’re the lucky ones.”

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER To make sure it was ready for flight, engineers tested the Parker Solar Probe, in a nearly fully assembled form, in a vacuum chamber at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center from January to March.

But Parker won’t always be near the sun. The spacecraft’s orbit will bring it as far from the sun as Venus, where temperatures are around –270° C. At that distance, the spacecraft that will touch the sun needs onboard heaters to keep it at 20° C. So Parker needed to be tested for cold and extreme temperature changes, too.

“We’re not just worried about hot cycles, we’re worried about hot then cold then hot then cold,” says Congdon.

In January 2018, the entire spacecraft was lowered into a thermal vacuum chamber at NASA Goddard for two months of testing. The chamber, a cylinder standing 12 meters tall and 8 meters wide, was cooled to –180° C. A radiator glowing at about 315° C represented the heat coming from the back of the heat shield — but most of that heat never reached the scientific instruments since a titanium truss holds the heat shield at a safe distance from the spacecraft’s main body.  The team cycled through hot and cold several times to simulate what Parker will experience.

Another challenge was keeping the probe’s solar panels cool. “You think, obviously, you’re going to the sun, solar power makes the most sense,” Congdon says. “But solar panels don’t like to get hot.” So the panels are threaded with veins that carry water to cool them off. The water absorbs heat from the panels and carries it to radiators that release the heat into space.

The solar panels are also on a shoulder joint, so they can tuck behind the heat shield at Parker’s closest approaches to the sun. Only the last row of cells will see the sun then. “That single row of cells can produce the same amount of power as the full wing can when we’re by the Earth,” says solar physicist Nicola Fox of Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, the probe’s project scientist.

 

CHARGE ME UP Engineers used lasers to test the probe’s solar panels, which will provide energy to the craft as it orbits the sun. The test simulated the vigorous vibrations of a launch to make sure that each segment of the solar panels remained electrically connected to the spacecraft.

Up and away

Before Parker can peer into the sun’s secrets, though, it must survive the trip to space.

The violent shaking during a spacecraft’s launch make it a tense time for scientists, even if they’ve tested all of the parts in an acoustic vibration chamber. Watching SWEAP’s vibration test “made me swear,” Korreck says. “It’s very scary to watch this thing you’ve spent 10 years on flop around as it keeps shaking more and more.”

Her team faced an unusual challenge in making Parker ready to rattle. It could not glue screws in place to prevent them from shaking loose, because epoxies would melt in the sunlight. So the SWEAP team twisted thin niobium wire by hand to tie hundreds of screws together in such a way that, if one comes loose, the others hold it in.

Launch can be a high-pressure time for the spacecraft, too — literally. Engineers initially thought Parker’s launch aboard a powerful Delta IV Heavy rocket, would subject the heat shield to a force 20 times that of Earth’s gravity, although later the team realized the launch force wouldn’t be so severe. To make sure the 72.5-kilogram shield wouldn’t bend or break, the team stacked 1,360 kilograms of paper on top of it.

Once it’s passed the final test of launching and deploying, Parker’s first scientific data should start trickling back to Earth in December. These missives will let scientists take the first step to unlocking the secrets of the sun’s superheated atmosphere and its energetic winds.

“It’s like being a proud parent. I worry that something could happen, but I don’t worry that we didn’t prepare or test her well,” Fox says. “I just hope she writes home every day with beautiful data.”

NASA moon landing SHOCK: Secret Apollo 11 tapes recovered after 49-years

NASA will celebrate the 49th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing this month and to mark the occasion, hundreds of never-before-heard audio tapes have been dug out from the US space agency's vaults.

Rapidly moving UFO is accidentally caught on camera as man zooms in on moon… but is it the international space station?

• Video of moving UFO accidentally captured in U.S. city of Trenton in New Jersey
• The camera zooms and focuses on to the cratered surface of the moon 
• Skeptics were quick to explain what the flying object could have been 

By GRETA LEVY FOR MAILONLINE

Mysterious new footage has captured what appears to be a rapidly moving UFO between the earth and the moon.  

The extreme close-up on the moon focuses on the crater-marked surface of earth's natural satellite.

As the camera moves in closer and slowly examines each crevasse - what appears to be a metallic craft darts across the frame panning frame.

In mere moments, the face of the moon is no longer the focus - but a circular object flying through the sky.  

The aircraft whizzes across the face of the moon for five seconds and abruptly vanishes.

What have Egyptian Experts said about Bosnian Pyramids?

It’s almost 10 years since the first visit of a team of leading Egyptian experts to the Bosnian pyramids.

Prof. dr. Nabil Swelim, a triple doctor of archeological science and founder of four pyramids in Egypt, Dr. Ali Barakat, who worked in Egypt’s Public Administration for Underground Wealth, Prof. dr. Mona Aly, the head of the Conservationist Department of the Archeological Faculty of the University of Cairo, and Prof. dr. Hamed El Haweli, an Egyptologist from the University of Cairo, visited the first European pyramids in the summer of 2017.

After a week-long visit to all archeological locations in Visoko, their conclusion is unanimous: “The Bosnian Sun Pyramid is the largest pyramid in the world and the world will know Bosnia as a land of pyramids. The prime minister of the Federation, the prime minister of the Zenica-Doboj Canton and the mayors of Sarajevo and Visoko met with them. The Minister for Culture, who did everything he could to stifle the project of exploring the pyramids, and the members of the Commission for National Memorials, who three times expanded the protective zone around the Bosnian Sun Pyramid and, therefore, made further exploration by the Foundation “Archeological Park: Bosnian Sun Pyramid” impossible, refused to meet the team.”

The head of Egypt’s Supreme Council for Antiquities stopped the international promotion of the Bosnian pyramids. Geologist Ali Barakata was dismissed after his return from BiH and Dr. Swellim was threatened with the loss of his pension if he continued to support the project.

Despite the efforts of domestic and international archeologists and historians, the Bosnian pyramids became the most active archeological location in the world at which each year, several hundred volunteers from across the world work, which many world renown experts visits and tens of thousands of guests from all continents come to visit.

WAAROM WORDT ER INEENS  WATER ONTDEKT OP MARS? ( VIDEO )

Enkele dagen geleden stonden er uitgebreide verhalen in de media over dat wetenschappers ontdekt hebben dat er zich water bevindt op de planeet Mars. 

Aangezien water ongeveer synoniem is aan leven, is hiermee alweer een stap gezet naar de volledige bekendmaking van buitenaards leven.

We hebben dit onlangs kunnen zien met de vrijgegeven opnames van onverklaarbare UFO’s en de haast die de Amerikaanse overheid ineens maakt met het opzetten van haar Spaceforce. 

Ook worden er met de regelmaat van de klok nu plots nieuwe planeten ontdekt waar leven mogelijk zou kunnen zijn en als klap op de vuurpijl wordt ineens bekendgemaakt dat er daadwerkelijk water is gevonden op Mars. 

Dit is het soort berichten dat je plots ziet: 

Of liever gezegd: ónder Mars. Rivieren of watervallen zijn er namelijk niet aan het Marsoppervlak, en een verstild bergmeer of een ruige oceaan zoek je er ook tevergeefs. Het Marswater dat is ontdekt bevindt zich onder het oppervlak. Om precies te zijn: op 1,5 kilometer onder de zuidelijke poolkap van de planeet. Daar ligt een ijzingwekkend koud en aardedonker meer met een lengte van pakweg 20 kilometer. 

Op aarde is ‘water’ zo’n beetje synoniem aan ‘leven’. De vondst van het ondergrondse meer zal dan ook ongetwijfeld leiden tot nieuwe speculaties over micro-organismen op Mars. Oké, die zijn nog steeds niet gevonden, maar de ontdekking van een grote, stabiele watermassa vormt in elk geval een belangrijk stukje in de legpuzzel van de speurtocht naar leven op de rode planeet. Mars leek een paar miljard jaar geleden veel meer op de aarde dan nu, met zeeën en oceanen aan het oppervlak – wie weet is er in dat verre geologische verleden ooit leven ontstaan. 

Nadat door de jaren heen alle bewijs van leven op Mars dat is opgedoken systematisch door NASA is genegeerd, wordt nu ineens deze schokkende ontdekking "zomaar" bekendgemaakt. 

Ongeveer een maand geleden schreven wij een artikel met de titel: “Wordt binnenkort leven op Mars bekendgemaakt?” en dat lijkt nu aardig profetisch in het licht van de zeer recente “ontdekking” van water. 

Dat al dit soort dingen nu gebeuren is geen toeval. Het hoort allemaal bij de programmering van de bevolking richting de New World Order, de centrale regering van deze planeet. 

Om dat te kunnen bewerkstelligen moet de wereldbevolking klaargestoomd worden om dit concept te willen accepteren. Onderdeel van dat acceptatieproces is het creëren van vijanden buiten onze planeet. 

 

Bijkomend voordeel van een buitenaardse vijand is dat er wederom vele miljarden dollars belastinggeld gebruikt kunnen worden om het altijd hongerige militair-industrieel complex te voeden. 

Tegelijkertijd kan er worden begonnen met het witwassen van de geheime ruimtevloot, waardoor het zal lijken dat de mensheid opeens geweldige technologische sprongen vooruit gaat maken. 

En of deze nieuwe vijand bekend zal worden via het beruchte Project Bluebeam of op een andere manier is op dit moment nog niet duidelijk. Wel is heel duidelijk dat er nu snel stappen worden gezet om de mensheid vertrouwd te maken met het concept buitenaards leven. Een concept dat al veel langer bestaat dan de mensheid op deze aarde. 

Nog steeds worden er iedere dag opnieuw ontdekkingen gedaan door amateurspeurders op beelden die zijn vrijgegeven door NASA. En al poetsen ze nog zo snel, de waarheid achterhaalt hen wel, want ze slagen er nooit in om alle sporen helemaal uit te wissen.

The mystery of who brought at least some of the stones to Stonehenge may have been resolved by researchers who have unlocked another mystery … who is buried at Stonehenge? It turns out some of them weren’t from the immediate area – they were from …

Not so fast. Let’s look first at the fine forensic footwork done by researchers from Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium, the University of Oxford and other universities. They were taking yet another look at the cremains (cremation remains) buried at Stonehenge about 5,000 years ago and first discovered in the 1920s in what are now known as the Aubrey holes. The cremains found there covered with a bluestone were later reburied in one Aubrey hole and eventually re-excavated in 2008. Those cremains contained 25 bone fragments from skulls that were radiocarbon-dated to at least 3180 BCE, centuries before the first stones were erected. Who did they belong to?

Enter Christophe Snoeck, co-author of the study published in Nature Scientific Reports, and budding forensic analyst. He knew that strontium isotopes in bones can reveal where a person lived, but it has long been believed that cremation destroys these isotopes. Hoping to prove otherwise, Snoeck obtained a pig’s foot and shoulder from a local butcher and built a barbecue hog funeral pyre in a college backyard. While the heat, which reached 1000 C (1832 F), destroyed the parts that normally supplied isotopes (like tooth enamel), it crystallized the bone and sealed some usable isotopes inside.

“As a chemical engineer in love with archaeology, this looked like the perfect challenge. Cremation indeed destroys all organic matter including DNA, but the inorganic matter survives. Clearly when it comes to light chemical elements such as carbon and oxygen these are heavily altered, but for heavier elements such as strontium – about seven times heavier than carbon – no alteration was observed. On the contrary, thanks to the high temperatures reached, the structure of the bone is modified, making the bone resistant to post-mortem exchanges with the burial soil.”

Brilliant! The Guardian reports that Snoeck and his team were then allowed to test the cremains and determined that at least ten of the people they belonged to came from … drum roll please … west Wales and surrounding areas over 100 miles away. If you’re into connecting dots, west Wales is the location of the Preseli Hills where Stonehenge’s bluestones were quarried. Could these be the people who dragged them to Wiltshire?

“Finally, the results suggest that at least some ‘non-local’ individuals were cremated away from Stonehenge, and that their cremated remains were brought to the site for burial, perhaps in conjunction with the raising of the bluestones.”

Study co-author Dr. Rick Schulting thinks these were not the stone haulers but very important people brought to Stonehenge for burial.

“Being buried at Stonehenge is the ancient equivalent of being interred in Westminster Cathedral today.”

The researchers are hoping to now conduct similar strontium isotope tests on other Stonehenge cremains. In the meantime, let’s not forget to honor the pigs who provided the bones that made this discovery possible.

My recent article on Mothman and a controversial story that appeared in a 2014 edition of Soldier of Fortune prompted a few comments here at Mysterious Universe. It also prompted one person to message me at Facebook, asking how I felt this impacts on the story of the ultimate “Grinning Man,” Indrid Cold, who – while not directly connected to the Mothman saga – has certainly become a part of the overall puzzle. Well, the fact is that it doesn’t – at least not directly. But, with the matter of Cold having been brought up, I thought I would share with you the strange story of the man himself (if, indeed, he was a man), and from someone who has lived in the area all her life. Last year, paranormal investigator Susan Sheppard very generously prepared for me an extensive paper on Mothman, Indrid Cold, and much more. So, with that all said, I will now hand you over to Susan, to tell the controversial-but fascinating tale of Indrid Cold:

Men in Black - The mothman and the connection - Indrid Cold, Woodrow Derenberger, John Keel

His name was Woodrow Derenberger, but everyone called him “Woody.” It was shortly after 6 p.m. in the evening, when Woody Derenberger was driving home from his job as a sewing machine salesman at J.C. Penny’s in Marietta, Ohio to his farmhouse in Mineral Wells, West Virginia. The ride home was overcast and dreary. It was misting a light rain.

As Derenberger came up on the Intersection of I-77 and Route 47, he thought that a tractor trailer truck was tailgating him without its lights on, which was unnerving, so he swerved to the side of the road and much to his surprise, the truck appeared to take flight and seemed to roll across his panel truck. To his astonishment, what Derenberger thought was a truck was a charcoal colored UFO without any lights on. It touched down and then hovered about 10 inches above the berm of the road. Much to Derenberger’s surprise a hatch opened and a man stepped out looking like “any ordinary man you would see on the street – there was nothing unusual about his appearance.”

Except the man was dressed in dark clothing and had a “beaming smile.” As the man proceeded to walk toward Derenberger’s panel truck the “craft” jetted up to about 40 feet in the air where it floated above the highway. What happened next was unsettling, because as the darkly-dressed man came up toward the vehicle Woody Derenberger heard the words, “Do not be afraid, I mean you no harm, I only want to ask you a few questions.” Derenberger did become afraid because as the man spoke to Woodrow his lips did not move. The man then moved to the opposite of the truck and told Derenberger to roll down his window so they could talk better, which he did. Next what formed in Derenberger’s mind were the words, “Now you can speak, or you can think… it makes no difference, I can understand you either way,” … this is what the dark man said.

Later, when Derenberger was questioned on local live television, he was scrutinized over what seemed a contradiction because if the dark man communicated through a type of mental telepathy, why would Derenberger need to roll down his window to talk? Wouldn’t it be easier just to talk mentally?

Woodrow Derenberger explained it was because Indrid Cold wanted to look directly at him as they spoke and he felt that, really, Cold wasn’t so interested in what was said but more interested in keeping up a communication with him. To Derenberger, that seemed the entire point of it all. Derenberger also noted that when Cold stared into his eyes, it was as if he knew everything about Woodrow Derenberger, and also, if he could only let go of his fear and do the same, he felt he would also know and understand all about Cold. In any event, Cold spoke through the passenger side window the entire time.

The physical description of Cold was commonplace. Derenberger described him as about 35 years of age, having a trim build, was about six feet tall, 185 pounds with dark eyes and dark hair slicked straight back. Cold wore a long dark coat and beneath the coat Woodrow Derenberger was able to glimpse the fabric of his “uniform” that glistened beneath the coat. He also described Cold as having a “tanned complexion.” Throughout the conversation Cold kept a frozen smile and curiously hid his hands beneath his armpits most of the time.

Cold did, however, point at the city lights above the distant hills of Parkersburg and asked Mr. Derenberger, “What do you call that over there?” Derenberger said, “Why, that’s Parkersburg and we call that a city.” Cold responded, “Where I come from we call it a gathering.”  Cold later added the curious statement that “I come from a place less powerful than yours.” As the men talked cars passed under the craft which drifted above the road. The occupants were seemingly unaware of the spaceship being there. After all, there were no lights that could be seen. Cold then asked about Parkersburg, “Do people live there or do they work there?”

Parkersburg

Woody Derenberger answered, “Why, yes, people live and work there.” Cold interjected “Do you work, Mr. Derenberger?” (Woodrow told Cold his name as the conversation began)

Derenberger answered, “I am a salesman. That’s what I do. Do you have a job?” Cold answered, “Yes. I am a searcher.”

After that the conversation became mundane. Cold seemed to notice Woodrow Derenberger was scared and commented on it. Mr. Derenberger claimed Cold asked him, “Why are you so frightened? Do not be afraid. We mean you no harm. You will see that we eat and bleed the same as you do,” and then added an emotive note, “We only wish you happiness” which Cold said to the frightened man more than once.

While Mr. Derenberger was being interviewed on live television on WTAP-TV, he attributed this puzzling statement to Indrid Cold, “At the proper time, the authorities will be notified about our meeting and this will be confirmed.” The entire conversation took between five and ten minutes and then Indrid Cold looked inside Woody’s car with his ever-present smile, and said, “Mr. Derenberger, I thank you for talking to me. We will see you again.”

He ended the conversation with “We will see you again” and as soon as he did the spaceship immediately came back down, floated about 10 inches off the road. A hatch opened and a human arm extended pulling Cold up into the craft. The ship then jetted up into the air about seventy-five feet, made a fluttering noise and then shot away at a very high rate of speed. For a few moments, Woodrow Derenberger sat stunned. Finally, he started up his car and drove to his farmhouse in Mineral Wells where his wife met him at the door. By now it was shortly before 7:00 o’clock.

Mrs. Derenberger met her husband at the door. She later said that Woodrow “could not have been any whiter if he had been lying in a coffin.” The stories vary but from Mr. Derenberger’s account his wife is the one who called the West Virginia State police, or at least she dialed the phone. Woodrow Derenberger gave them a brief report of what he claimed to have happened. It is interesting to note that in the initial report, Derenberger called the alien “Cold,” but did not mention “Indrid” until later.

The next day Derenberger attempted to go back to work but was sidetracked when he agreed to a live television interview about his experience on the previous night with a UFO with WTAP-TV the NBC affiliate in Parkersburg, housed in a small building not much bigger than a garage. The interview took place shortly before noon where Woodrow Derenberger was grilled by veteran reporter Glenn Wilson and city Police Chief Ed Plum, as well as other local law enforcement, including the head of the Wood County Airport. Representatives from Wright Patterson were in route to interview Derenberger but whether that came about is not known.

The interview went on for about two and a half hours. The live part of the broadcast was under an hour long and then the television cameras were turned off, and the interview continued off the air for another hour or so. During that time, Derenberger drew a picture of the spacecraft which he described in his thick West Virginia accent as a charcoal grey, with no lights and looking like an “old-fashioned chimney lamp.” (You may want to google this because I am not clear what he intended. I found some interesting images when I did…Parts of the lamps may look like UFOs.)

Probably one of the most curious statements Woodrow Derenberger made about his meeting with Cold was, “And then Cold said to me, we will see you again…” then his voice trails off. Police Chief Ed Plum asked, “Do you really believe you will see him again?” Derenberger then answered, “I think so…I believe I will…I don’t know… because that’s what I am afraid of.”

After that interview, Derenberger’s life transformed drastically and not for the better. He changed jobs, developed marital problems, clung to his church for a while, and then came the strange visits from men dressed in black clothing whom Derenberger suspected to be some kind of hidden government group of spies or maybe even the Mafia. He wasn’t sure, they just spooked him. They would arrive his house, ask Derenberger simple questions, (some had to do with his UFO experience) and then the Men in Black acted in a threatening manner.

But nothing was as incredible as the return of Indrid Cold. At least, this is what Woodrow Derenberger claimed. He said that Cold visited him many times at his farmhouse in Mineral Wells. At one point, Derenberger came up missing for almost six months and said he was “with the aliens.” The local population finally became skeptical. The sewing machine salesman’s tale grew more and more far-fetched. Derenberger even claimed to have been impregnated by the aliens. In 1967, Woodrow Derenberger stated to have visited Indrid Cold’s home planet of Lanulos where its residents walked around wearing no clothing. He said the aliens lived in a galaxy called Ganymede where everything was peaceful and there was no war. People began to snicker.

Still, there were odd flashing lights in the sky almost nightly and the curiosity seekers stalked not only Derenberger’s modest farmhouse, but an area called Bogle Ridge, not far from Mineral Wells where the aliens were claimed to land. The ridicule became too much. Derenberger, with his family, moved from the area and stayed away for decades. He returned to Wood County in the 1980s and died in 1990. Woodrow Derenberger was finally laid to rest at Mount Zion Cemetery in Mineral Wells, West Virginia.

John Keel was not a believer in Woodrow Derenberger’s UFO story, so it’s mysterious why he would make it such a big part of The Mothman Prophecies book. In The Mothman Propheciesmovie the character Gordon Smallwood is based upon Woodrow  }, but the Wood County man most often appeared in a suit and not overalls. A few elements to his story make it believable that, initially, something of an extraordinary nature, happened to him. First of all, his account predates the Mothman sightings by 12 days. Derenberger would have had to have been a prophet to know what was about to happen next, making his story even more extraordinary. His family explains that they believe something of an otherworldly nature initially happened but he added to the tale to sell books when he self-published a book called Visitors from Lanulos in 1971.

Satellite Photo Shows A Round Object Beneath Water Off Greek Coast

Ufologists online have come into a frenzy after the discovery of a mysterious circular shape on satellite maps of Google. They are speculating that it could be a hidden submersible off the coast of Greece.

Website Disclose.TV, which posts information about aliens and UFOs, got the people’s attention after it published the circular object online. The unidentified submersible object was reportedly viewed online through Google Maps in the Aegean Sea.

The object is approximately 220 feet long using the ruler on Google Earth for the measurement. It is not established whether the UFO has ever been seen for real or just the image as a result of an optical illusion, such as a trick of the light.

Several folks offer their suggestion as to what the satellite imagery is showing. Many of them believe that the mysterious thing is newly-found evidence that we are not alone.

One commentator says that something here doesn’t belong. They describe the find as an impressive catch and would love to hear the official excuses on this one.

A second person states that it is indeed weird as nothing in the area looks remotely like that object.

A more skeptical commenter said that the shadow underwater could be from the old pier.

However, for now, the actual cause of the bizarre shape stays a mystery. Anyone can view the location on Google Maps here.

UFO flies between Earth and the Moon in eerie footage captured by 'pure luck'

Something resembling a metallic craft is seen crossing the face of the Moon

By Michael Havis

Dramatic footage shows a UFO appearing to speed in front of the Moon before vanishing.

A clip taken in Trenton, New Jersey, shows a close-up of the Moon before something resembling a metallic craft enters the frame, briefly passing across the face of the moon.

The mystery object was captured on camera by "pure luck".

The person who filmed it - who asked to remain anonymous - said they were fascinated by the Moon and happened to be filming when it happened.

“It's just something I'm interested in,” they said. “We live on a giant rock ball that is being orbited by another giant rock ball that is just floating there.

The metallic object appears suddenly close to the moon in the clip

“I was doing a closeup of the Moon. I typically like to zoom in on the craters and the edges of it.

“It’s pure luck that the UFO came into the picture while I was zooming in on the edges.”

UFO buffs offered a series of explanations when the footage, which was filmed in the US city of Trenton, New Jersey, was shared online.

Some suggested the object was falling ice from a plane, a meteor or just space debris, but the videographer has another explanation.

"I think it’s the International Space Station (ISS),” they said.

“Based on what I see on Google search, it's the explanation that makes the most sense.”

The ISS completes roughly 15.55 orbits of Earth a day, travelling at an average speed of 17,227mph, and at an altitude of between 205 miles and 255 miles.

It experiences 16 sunrises and sunsets per day, meaning astronauts cover windows during sleep hours in order to give the impression of darkness.

From the ground, it’s typically seen as a slow-moving, bright white dot, taking roughly 10 minutes to pass from one horizon to another.

The video was shot with a Nikon Coolpix P900 camera, using its 83x optical zoom.

Alien shockproof: UFO researcher spots spaceship travelling behind Jupiter

The bizarre object which travelled behind Jupiter has made many people believe that alien life is a reality.

By : Nirmal Narayanan

YouTube: MrMBB333

Popular conspiracy theory channel 'MrMBB333' has uploaded the video which shows a strange object travelling behind Jupiter. The conspiracy theorist who runs the channel reveals that the footage was captured from Houston by an amateur UFO researcher named Debra.

After analyzing the video, the conspiracy theorist strongly assures that the object spotted is not a bird, and he also ruled out the possibility of this object being an aircraft flying down the skies. The conspiracy theorist speculated that the weird object might be something similar to Oumuamua, the interstellar asteroid which visited our solar system a few months back.

"It is not a bird. It is not an aeroplane. It looks like this object is travelling through the solar system, and it goes behind Jupiter. Definitely not a bird or anything like that. Some sort of long light went behind Jupiter. The object is moving at a high rate of speed. Maybe an asteroid of some sort, I don't have any idea," said the narrator of the video.

The video soon went viral, and most of the audiences who watched the clip argued that the bizarre object spotted might be an alien mothership travelling across the solar system.

A YouTube user named Panda Nuke strongly assured that the object is not an asteroid, and he made it clear that if it was an asteroid, Jupiter's gravity would have likely brought it in.

"It's obviously an alien spacecraft. If it was an asteroid it would have likely got pulled in by Jupiter's gravity," commented Panda Nuke.

"If that was an asteroid it was the size of earth!," commented BMW Peach, a YouTube user.

"First!!! Amazing that it went behind the planet, can you imagine the size that thing would have to have been. I was thinking it looked cigar shaped too," commented Tiger Lily, another YouTuber.

Underground Lake Discovered On Mars Beneath A Mile of Ice: Here Are More Details

We are going to Mars, our journey to Mars is a science led expedition right now, but soon I hope we’ll be sending humans to the red planet to explore and science will lead the way. And today’s announcement of a really fascinating result about current water on Mars is one of the reasons why I feel it’s even more imperative that we send astrobiologists and plantary scientists to Mars to explore the question of, “is there current life on Mars?” – John Grunsfeld, five time space flown astronaut, Associate Administrator, Head of NASA Science Mission Directive (source)

History is written by the victors, and today, information that makes its way into the mainstream is carefully considered before being “put out” there. We are currently seeing this happen with UFO disclosure and other topics that don’t really fit within the framework of accepted knowledge. We see it everywhere in all subjects, especially in science, where the human race tends to hold on to what it thinks it knows while ridiculing a new discovery, only until it takes its place as fact within the mainstream. Quantum physics is a great example that’s definitely challenging the accepted framework of knowledge and academia, especially with its connection to consciousness and non-material science overall, in general.

• The US Government Just Admitted To Recovering Materials From UFOs – Here Are The Latest Updates

The same goes for planetary sciences, although we think we know a lot about our world and other planets, there is still so much to discover, and still a lot of information that’s changing every single year which forces us to go back and re-write our textbooks, or at least should.

A great example is Mars, and science is now showing that Mars wasn’t always and isn’t the dry, red, arid  planet we’ve all been told it is, this theory was amplified recently  by a team of Italian scientists, who are telling the world that they have strong evidence of a subsurface lake of liquid water on Mars.

The more we observe Mars, the more information we’re getting that it really is a fascinating planet, from the Curiosity Rover we now know that Mars once was like a planet very much life Earth, with long salty seas, with fresh water lakes, probably with snow-capped peaks and clouds and a water cycle just like we’re studying here on Earth…Something has happened to Mars, it lost its waster –  Grunsfeld

Right now, within mainstream planetary science, the debate and speculation of whether there was once life on Mars are huge, and this has sparked the debate once again since, from our level of understanding, we believe that liquid water is an essential ingredient for life. The evidence cited by the Italian study came from an instrument called MARSIS, which sits aboard the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express spacecraft in orbit around the Red Planet. MARSIS is a special kind of radar called ground-penetrating radar.

Ground-penetrating radar use radio signals that are capable of penetrating into the ground and then get reflections from the material under the surface,” Says Roberto Orosei, principal investigator on MARSIS and a planetary scientist at the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics, told NPR.

You can access the entire Italian study here.

Many old, as well as several recently published results,  have presented very strong evidence yet that there used to be much more water on Mars. In fact, in 2015, NASA held a press conference to announce the major discovery that the planet Mars experienced a massive climate shift in the past, that it actually used to be very Earth-like, covered in oceans and greenery. You can view that entire conference here.

Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of in the past…(and) liquid water has been found on Mars – James Green, NASA director of planetary sciences.

At this conference, scientists also stated that “the possibility of life in the interior of Mars has always been very high. There’s certainly water somewhere in the crust of Mars…It’s very likely, I think, that there is life somewhere in the crust of Mars.”

What Caused The Massive Climate Shift?

What Happened On Mars?

Mars is the planet most like Earth…(and in the past,) Mars was a very different planet, it had an extensive atmosphere, and in fact, it had what we believe was a huge ocean, perhaps as large as two thirds the Northern Hemisphere. And that ocean may have been as much as a mile deep. So Mars indeed three billion years ago had extensive water resources. But something happened. Mars suffered a major climate change and lost its surface water. – James Green, NASA director of planetary sciences. (source)

One of the studies liked above, attempts to chart where Mars lost the most water, which was done by “tracking the water molecule (H2O), and it’s deuterated equivalent HDO.”

According to IFL,

Deuterium is ‘heavy hydrogen’, an isotope of our lightest element with an extra neutron in its centre. It exists in our own ocean, where about 0.0156 % of the hydrogen atoms in water are actually their heavier counterpart. The ratio between the amount of hydrogen and deuterium on Earth gives a baseline to compare rations on other terrestrial planets….Using the appropriately na,es Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Keck telescope, the researchers charted the abundance of H20 and HDO over the Mars surface. This then enabled them to map out the deuterium/hydrogen (D/H) ration mapped across the how of Mars.

This is great, but neither study knows exactly what happened on Mars to cause such a dramatic climate shift, what would cause an Earth-like planet to become what Mars has come today. Researchers hypothesize that it could have been a massive climatic shift, but there is no evidence to support that theory.

One physicist has come forth with some actual evidence to support his theory, and that’s Dr. John Brandenburg. He’s well-known for working on space plasma technologies, nuclear fusion and advanced space propulsion. He invented the  Microwave Electro-Thermal plasma thruster that uses water propellant for space propulsion. Brandenburg was also the Deputy Manager of the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defence Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon’s poles in 1994. (Source: page 16 of 18)(source)(source)

According to Brandenburg, and his team of scientists/colleagues who have also published multiple papers with and alongside him concerning the subject,

Analysis of recent Mars isotopic, gamma ray, and imaging data supports the hypothesis that perhaps two immense thermonuclear explosions occurred on Mars in the distant past and these explosions were targeted on sites of previously reported artifacts. Analysis rules out large unstable ‘natural nuclear reactors”, instead, data is consistent with mixed fusion-fission explosions. Imagery at the radioactive centres of the explosions shows no craters, consistent with ‘airbursts.’ Explosions appear correlated as the site of an ancient planetary nuclear massacre, must now be considered.

Brandenburg identified isotopes with a ‘weapons signature’ and showed the nuclear data, he claims it happened on the Northern region of Mars.

Here is a lecture by him explaining his findings.

The above quote is taken from the abstract of this paper they published, and have presented multiple times.

As with any other scientist, no matter how reputable, credible and accomplished, the instant you put out data and information that goes against the grain or has the ability to basically change people’s worldview paradigm, it’s instantly ridiculed and shut down, no matter how strong the data/evidence is, human belief systems and cognitive dissonance still seem to rule.

That being said, all of this is happening for a reason, and more and more information like this will continue to emerge which has is questioning what we think we know.

I’ve written about Mars, in-depth, multiple times, and it’s a planet with no shortage of mysterious, and perhaps fibs, as we never really seem to be told the truth about anything.

The thing is, if Mars was an Earth-like planet, was there intelligent life on it billions of years ago? The articles linked below will show why I believe, without a doubt, that yes, there were.

Ladies and gentlemen, my government, NASA, which many f us in the United States say stands for Never A Straight Answer, proceeded to erase 40 rolls of the film of the Apollo Program – the flight to the Moon, the flight around the Moon, the landings on the Moon, the walking guys here and there. They erased, for Christs’s sake, 40 rolls of film of those events.

Now we’re talking about several thousand individual frames that were taken that the so-called authorities determined that you did not have a right to see. Oh, they were ‘disruptive,’ ‘socially unacceptable,’ ‘politically unacceptable.’ I’ve become furious. I’m a retired Command Sergeant Major. I was never famous for having a lot of patience. – Robert Dean

Declassified FBI Document Suggests “Beings From Other Dimensions” Have Visited Earth

There are a number of fascinating documents that have been released by governments, military and intelligence agencies from all over the world, for many years. Recent and continual disclosure of the UFO phenomenon is continuing in the United States, and there seems to be a push from establishment media to cover the UFO issue in a more credible way.

Declassified FBI Document: We’ve Been Visited by ‘Beings from Another Dimension

We’ve seen some serious articles written by people of “great distinction” publish a few articles in the New York Times, Washington Post and more.

The fact that the mainstream is pushing this now, and in the way they are, seems to be for a particular agenda. Many contemplate the desire of the global elite to spring a “false flag” alien invasion, it would be the same kind of idea as false flag terrorism, all for the purposes of justifying the growth of the military-industrial complex, and perhaps the intent to have an excuse to justify the weaponization of space. (Which has already happened according to some whistleblowers.)

That being said, there are many well-intentioned people on planet Earth, people who want the truth to come out about what’s really going on. Once you go down the rabbit hole and explore these truths, there really is no going back because what is going on is so vast, so complex, and so compartmentalized that you realize there are multiple facets to this coverup that touches anything from politics to technology to consciousness. This is one of the biggest stories in human history up til now, and it leaves no aspect of humanity untouched.

We Are Not Alone.

We are not alone, and we are slowly being groomed to accept this, and no doubt some more examples will be next to follow.

This particular document from the FBI highlights a truth that not many people know about. Multiple “academicians” have been interested and even hired to investigate various aspects of the UFO phenomena. Be it propulsion systems, the intelligence behind the craft, or something else, this has been demonstrated time and time again by those within the field of academia who openly speak out, or, as shown by various de-classified documents.

The FBI document shows how they were heavily interested in, and received a letter from someone with “several university degrees” and a former “university department head.” The document had to do with the extraterrestrial phenomenon.

Now, before we go any further, it’s important to mention that, as exemplified by this current document, there are multiple examples of this type of communication between intelligence agencies and high-level academia. You can access these declassified documents from the CIA archives in the form of a letter from a CIA task force addressed to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency that details the close relationship that exists between the CIA, the mainstream media and academia, in this heavily sourced article.

Another great example (apart from the FBI document discussed in this article, is a declassified document discovered in the CIA’s electronic reading room titled “A Telephone Conversation With Dr. John A. Wheeler.” Wheeler was a famous quantum physicist, and the agency was recruiting him to look into the “flying saucer problem”, which was how the CIA referred to it at the time. You can access that particular document and read more about it here.

Back to the FBI document, apart from the academic connection, it was also addressed to “certain scientists of distinction,” to “aeronautical and military authorities,” and to “a number of public officials.”

This academic, as referred to in the document, outlines he belief, or information gathered by an unknown means, perhaps for the FBI, almost like an agent moulder from the X-Files perhaps, states that some of these disks carry crews and that others are under remote control. It also states that those who occupy these craft have a peaceful mission and that many of them are human-like but much larger in size.

Furthermore, this mysterious academic mentions that the disks “posses some type of radiant energy” and that “they do not come from any “planet” as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceivable to us.”

This is super fascinating for many reasons, it’s a reminder of the possible ‘magical’ and ‘mythical’ lands spoken out in many ancient texts. Ancient wisdom seems to be returning to the modern world, we can see this big time when it comes to neuroscience and quantum physics. One example of a supposed land that exists, possibly in another dimension but here in the same “location” as planet earth, one that we cannot perceive would be The Legend of Shambhala, or “inner Earth.” 

The document also states that,

The bodies of the visitors, and the craft also, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter….They re-enter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without a trace…. The region they come from is NOT the astral plane, but corresponds to the Lakas or Talas. Students of esoteric matters will understand these terms.

Quite interesting to say the least, isn’t it?

Quantum physics is also starting to contemplate and perhaps even prove the existence of these realms. It wasn’t long ago when the US Secretary of Energy made some very interesting comments about doing work in parallel universes.

As far as the UFO/ET Phenomena goes, the global elite will use it like the use everything else, probably to deceive us, but the fact remains apart from that, that the truth really is out there, somewhere. This opens up doors to metaphysical and spiritual realms that still have yet a long way to go to be accepted as real by the masses, but as time goes on and the more we can detect these worlds, the closer we get to usher in the next scientific revolution, which is non-material science.

NOG MEER MYSTERIEUZE ZAKEN IN RUSLAND ( VIDEO )

Het is ondertussen al weer meer dan een week geleden dat de dag veranderde in nacht in een deel van Siberië en nog steeds is er geen enkele verklaring. 

En een onderzoeksteam op Nova Zembla komt tot de verbazingwekkende conclusie dat een compleet meer is verdwenen.

We leven in vreemde tijden en dus zijn er ook vreemde dingen verwachten. Zaken die niet zo gemakkelijk te verklaren zijn en ook vaak nog niet eerder zijn voorgekomen. 

Zo zagen we onlangs een bizar verschijnsel in een deel van Siberië, waar het om 11 uur ’s morgens opeens donker werd en waar het pas na 2 uur ’s middags weer licht werd.

Rond elf uur ’s morgens werd het opeens donker in dat gebied, alsof er een soort zonsverduistering gaande was. Die was er niet en normaal gesproken heeft dat gebied rond deze tijd van het jaar ongeveer 24 uur per dag zonlicht. Het duurde tot rond een uur of twee in de middag tot de lucht weer enigszins begon op te klaren. 

Je zou zeggen dat ruim anderhalve week na de gebeurtenis er iets meer duidelijkheid zou zijn over wat dit bijzondere fenomeen heeft veroorzaakt, maar niets is minder waar. De verwarring is eigenlijk alleen maar groter geworden omdat er ook van officiële zijde niet echt een verklaring wordt gegeven. 

Om een indruk te kijken hoe het er werkelijk uit zag hierna een korte video waarop je goed kunt zien hoe donker het wel niet werd. 

 

Wat het ook was dat de duisternis heeft veroorzaakt, veel mensen waren bang en vooral ouderen, ook omdat nooit iemand zoiets eerder had meegemaakt. Het gebied waar het voorval heeft plaatsgevonden is ook veel groter dan eerder gedacht, want het gaat over een gebied zo groot als heel Italië. 

Er deed zich een ander vreemd verschijnsel voor en dat is dat er tientallen dode zwartkoppige zeemeeuwen werden gevonden. Over het exacte aantal is niemand het eens, maar het was een aanzienlijk aantal en niemand weet waarom deze vogels stierven. 

Ook de verhalen over wel of geen stof na de gebeurtenissen variëren nogal, waarbij sommigen zeggen dat er niets te zien was, terwijl weer anderen spreken over een stoflaag of een soort olie-achtige substantie op de grond. 

Ook doen er verhalen de ronde dat de elektriciteitscircuits in auto’s uitvielen tijdens de duisternis. 

Ook omdat het vanuit officiële hoek doodstil blijft, doen er uiteraard de meest wilde verhalen de ronde. Geruchten zoals dat er een ultrageheim wapen wordt getest, het een inslag van een meteoriet is, een raketlancering die mis ging of de duisternis werd veroorzaakt door bosbranden. 

Het laatste is niet echt logisch omdat er en geen bosbranden in de buurt waren en geen wind, maar het is natuurlijk wel een gemakkelijk te accepteren reden. 

De speculaties werden nog eens extra gevoed doordat een overheidsfunctionaris van het ministerie in Jakoetsk zei dat ze wel een mening/idee hadden, maar geen toestemming om dit met de bevolking te delen. Het Russische Ministerie van Defensie weigerde ieder commentaar. 

De dode vogels zullen worden onderzocht op mogelijke doodsoorzaak en verder zouden satellietbeelden misschien uitkomst kunnen bieden, maar deze worden niet beschikbaar gesteld.

Het zal niemand verbazen dat nergens de mogelijkheid wordt geopperd dat dit wel eens veroorzaakt zou kunnen zijn door de staart van de Draak, oftewel de Verwoester. 

Naast de vreemde gebeurtenis in Siberië is er een nieuw mysterie in de Russische Federatie en dit keer is dat op het eiland Nova Zembla. 

Een expeditie die deel uitmaakt van een programma The Open Ocean: Archiplelagos of the Arctic, ging op onderzoek uit op dit eiland naar een meer genaam Usacheva. 

Echter, toen de expeditie bij het bewuste meer aan kwam, ontdekten ze dat dit compleet was verdwenen. Het enige dat nog restte was een kurkdroge en gescheurde bodem.

We praten hier ook niet over een klein meertje, maar eentje met een lengte van drie kilometer, op enkele kilometers afstand van de zee. 

De onderzoekers hebben minimaal anderhalf kilometer gelopen over de droge bodem van het meer, maar veel verder dan het ontdekken van talrijke scheuren in de bodem kwamen ze niet.

Mysterious radio signal sent from an unknown source in deep space is picked up by new £12 million telescope in Canada

• The CHIME telescope picked up a low frequency fast radio burst (FRB)
• It lasted for only a few milliseconds and was detected by the sensitive machinery
• It has been named FRB 180725A and is the first wave to be found below 700MHz
• The scientists have yet to discover the source of the radio signal, but theories suggest it could originate from a black hole or advanced alien civilisation 

By JOE PINKSTONE FOR MAILONLINE 

A brief burst of radio sent from an unknown source across the universe has been picked up by the state-of-the-art CHIME telescope in Canada.

The signal, known as a Fast Radio Burst (FRB), lasted only a matter of milliseconds.

Researchers claim the signal is the first radio emission received from across the universe with a frequency below 700 MHz – the lowest frequency FRB ever recorded.

As a result, scientists believe that whatever produced the signal, which has been branded 'FRB 180725A', is likely to be extremely powerful. 

Experts are still investigating what causes FRBs, with possible explanations including exploding black holes and advanced extra-terrestrial civilisations.

Scroll down for video  

The short burst of radio waves detected by the state-of-the-art Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope

The radio emission was first detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope, which has been in operation for less than a year.

The FRB was detected by CHIME's expansive, four 100-meter-long (328ft) U-shaped cylinders on July 25 2018.

CHIME is designed to be able to record signals sent when the universe was between 6 billion and 11 billion years old. 

Patrick Boyle, of McGill University, first reported the detection of the FRB with a post on the astronomical publication 'Astronomer's Telegram'.

The post reads: 'During its ongoing commissioning, CHIME/FRM detected FRB 180725A on 2018 July 25 at 17:59:43.115 UTC (18:59:43.15 BST/13:59:43.15 ET).

'The event is clearly detected at frequencies as low as 580 MHz and represents the first detection of an FRB at radio frequencies below 700 MHz.'

According to researchers at CHIME, whatever produced the signal in the depths of space is likely to be extremely powerful.

Whatever the source, it has produced the signal a number of times, scientists say.

Research into FRBS is still in its infancy, with the first signals detected less than a decade ago.

Since then, a mere two dozen FRBs have ever been detected from Earth, meaning there is little prior research for scientists build on. 

'Fast radio bursts are exceedingly bright given their short duration and origin at great distances, and we haven't identified a possible natural source with any confidence,' said Avi Loeb, of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics research institute.

'An artificial origin is worth contemplating and checking.' 

The mystery around these signals stems from the fact that scientists cannot yet pinpoint what is capable of producing such a short and sharp radio wave burst.

Mr Boyle adds: 'Additional FRBs have been found since FRB 180725A and some have flux at frequencies as low as 400 MHz. 

'These events have occurred during both the day and night and their arrival times are not correlated with known on-site activities or other known sources of terrestrial RFI (radio frequency interference).'

The telescope that discovered the mystery signal is the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME, pictured) which has been open for less than a year

'With the CHIME telescope we will measure the expansion history of the universe and we expect to further our understanding of the mysterious dark energy that drives the expansion ever faster,' said Dr Mark Halpern, of the University of British Columbia.

'This is a fundamental part of physics that we don't understand and it's a deep mystery. This is about better understanding how the universe began and what lies ahead.'

With its U-shaped cylinders made of metal mesh, experts have compared CHIME (pictured) to the half-pipes used by snowboarders and skateboarders. The radio signal it detected has been named FRB 180725A and is the first to be detected below 700 MHz

The £12.2 million ($16 million) in funding, CHIME sits in the mountains of British Columbia's Okanagan Valley at the NRC's Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory near Penticton.

With its U-shaped cylinders made of metal mesh, it resembles the half-pipes used by snowboarders and skateboarders.

Its unique design, coupled with advanced computing power, will serve as a 'time machine' to peer deep into the history of the universe.

This could help scientists to better understand the history of the universe, mysterious fast radio bursts, and the detection of gravitational waves.

'CHIME's unique design will enable us to tackle one of the most puzzling new areas of astrophysics today – Fast Radio Bursts,' said Dr Victoria Kaspi from McGill University.

'The origin of these bizarre extragalactic events is presently a mystery, with only two dozen reported since their discovery a decade ago.

'CHIME is likely to detect many of these objects every day, providing a massive treasure trove of data that will put Canada at the forefront of this research.'

CHIME will collect radio waves with wavelengths between 37 and 75 centimetres.

This, according to the researchers, is similar to that used by cell phones, and will allow the telescope to pick up on extremely weak radio signals from the universe.

Most of these signals come from the Milky Way, but, some began their journey billions of years ago.

A meteorite discovered in Russia in 2016 has been analyzed and found to contain a mysterious new mineral that is as hard as diamonds. Did some alien lose the engagement ring he planned to give his girlfriend while traveling through an asteroid belt?

Mineral Harder Than Diamond Found In Meteorite!

The announcement of the discovery was made at the 81st Annual Meeting of The Meteoritical Society 2018 held last week in Moscow. Researchers from the Ural Federal University, Novosibirsk State University and the Geological Institute at the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science revealed that the meteorite was found in Buryatia, a mountainous republic in southern Siberia, by gold hunters. (Photo here.) Did they unknowingly turn over something worth more than gold?

“Uakitite was observed in small troilite-daubreelite (±schreibersite) inclusions (up to 100 µm) in kamacite and in large troilite-daubreelite nodules (up to 1 cm).”

It’s hard to put a value on it, but the researchers did get the honor of giving the mineral a name once they determined it had never been seen before. The actual amount of the new substance “uakitite” was so minute that they had to use electron diffraction (firing electrons at it to observe the resulting interference pattern) to obtain data on its crystal structure. That helped them determine that the mineral was formed in the meteor in space at temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees centigrade. While it has never been formed on Earth, uakitite is said to be elated to carlsbergite CrN and osbornite TiN.

If you could see the tiny grains of uakitite, you would find “it has a yellow and transparent phase with metallic lustre” and “a light gray colour with a pinky tint in reflected light.” The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is used to measure hardness by scratching different minerals against each other and placing them in order with softest being 1 and hardest 10. Talc has a Mose hardness of 1, quartz is 7, topaz is 8 and diamond is 10. Uakitite has a Mohs hardness of 9-10, making it about has hard as diamonds.

The gold hunters who found the uakitite-crusted meteorite missed out on naming the mineral but wouldn’t have gotten much for it at the gem store. For that they were born too soon. Meteors have been found to be loaded with rare minerals, both known and unknown. It’s no wonder some space programs are ignoring planetary and moon exploration in favor of asteroid mining.

Somewhere in the stars, an alien guy is trying to convince his fiancé that the diamond ring he picked up on Earth is better than the uakitite one he lost in space.

Years from now, historians and astronomers may look back at our current time as the beginning of a new era in which humanity finally knows for certain that it is not alone in the universe. Thanks to improvements in our telescopes, astronomers are detecting and identifying more and more unexplained radio signals in deep space. While these have so far all been theorized to have natural origins, it will only take one extraterrestrial radio signal to change human history forever.

Of course, historians and astronomers might also look back and shake their heads in disgust at our vain attempts to find cosmic companionship after they discover that we truly are forever alone here in the black, heartless void of space. Still, new radio signals are being detected every day, lending hope that one will be The One. Just last week, the brand new CHIME radio telescope in Canada (Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment) detected an anomalous radio signal the likes of which have never been seen in space. The signal, designated FRB 180725A, represents the first known fast radio burst (FRB) at frequencies below 700 MHz. Will FRB 180725A be the one to change everything?

The CHIME Pathfinder telescope in British Columbia.

Let’s hope so. For now, much more data will need to be collected before any conclusions about this new radio burst could be made. In a press release issued on AstronomersTelegram.org, McGill University’s P.J. Boyle cautions against making any preliminary speculations about this anomalous radio signal, noting that “the data have not been corrected for frequency-dependent beam sensitivity and that “further observations to search for repeated bursts at all wavelengths are encouraged.” 

After this new signal was discovered, several other radio bursts were detected at frequencies as low as 400 MHz, and preliminary analysis indicates that they are not the result of terrestrial interference. The exact locations from which these radio bursts originated still unknown, but astronomers are searching for them.

Could a strange deep space radio burst someday become the first evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence?

As additional FRBs are discovered I just have to wonder: what if some these are indeed transmissions from distant civilizations and we simply don’t yet have the tools or the know-how to interpret them? Sure, there are all sorts of scientific explanations for how they could be naturally-occurring, but as the history of science shows, scientific explanations are merely the best guess we have at the moment. Who knows what any of these signals might one day be discovered to be?

Alien Creature Filmed In The Woods of Gaspésie, Canada
on August 01, 2018

On July 29, 2018 a strange alien creature has been filmed on a roadside in Gaspésie, Québec in Canada.

Audrée Tanguay Fréchette who has filmed the creature says: I was filming a moose on a roadside in Gaspésie, Québec, Canada. Looking at the video I saw this strange shape at the back left. Can someone tell me what it is?

The creature suddenly comes from the left side, then hides behind a tree and observes the moose. It looks like it wants to attack the moose as it steps a little forwards, towards the moose, but then again the creature hides again behind the tree, still observing the moose.

It reminds me the 2010 story of a hunter near Baton Rouge who said he found a freaky photo (image above) on his deer stand camera in the Louisiana woods at night which shows a lot of resemblance to this creature.

The appearance of this kind of beings raises questions whether they originate from secret experiments or not.

Cloaked UFO Caused Massive Sprites In Storm, Video, UFO Sighting News.

UFOs are often seen around storms, hurricanes, tornados and other natural disasters, probably because the electrical static from around their UFO can cause such problems. Here we see a video that recorded sprites, but sprites this big only exist because there is a cloaked vessel within that area. The UFO may be able to hide, but when near static electricity (storm) sprites form and give away the location of the UFO.

Defense Minister of Canada Aliens Live Among Us

Former Defence Minister of Canada, Paul Hellyer, claims that the aliens are already working for us, in an interview with the RT, the Russian TV channel. He says it is as true as an aircraft flying over us.

According to Mr. Hellyer, there are about 80 alien species living among us, a fascinating fact, which makes us looking around to spot them in a crowd. Mr. Hellyer sheds some light on the nature of these beings: they can be short grays, the tall whites and the Nordic blondes, Mr. Hellyer says.

There is a rapid increase in the reported sightings of UFO in recent months. In that context, the claim that aliens are visiting our battered planet does not sound strange. When a former Canadian Defense Minister – a former leading figure in the NATO – the news is never short of the ingredients to arouse shock and awe among the ordinary people.

Former Defense Minister Aliens live among us

Mr. Hellyer went on to say that aliens are mostly benign and want to help us get out of our miseries. Some are mischievous, though. Mr. Hellyer explains why the aliens do not want to share high technology with us: because, we are destroying our planet with what we already have – pollution and the thermonuclear bombs.

Mr. Hellyer quite boldly claimed that some aliens are already working for the US military in Nevada. Then, in the same breath, he said that recently two female aliens visited a supermarket in Las Vegas incognito as nuns. Mr. Hellyer says the two aliens got away with their stunt since they look like normal unions.

When asked about his own personal experience with the aliens, he described how he and his wife spotted a UFO in the Canadian skies while living in a cottage near Toronto. He said that the same UFO appeared on two successive days for well over 20 minutes, before disappearing at, what he termed as, astonishing speed. Http

Mysterious ‘Pyramids’ Are Spotted on the Atlantic Ocean Floor

 Conspiracy theorists claim they have found two or three ancient underwater structures off the coast of the Bahamas.

Scott Waring, who created the UFO Sightings Daily website, is a regular contributor who was using Google Earth to scour the ocean floor for anomalies, when he came across the strange shapes. Speaking in the SecureTeam10 video, Mr. Waring said: ‘I found these two pyramids on the ocean floor near New Providence island, that it is not far from Florida.

‘The lines on the pyramids are easy to make out and are proof that the nearby island was once inhabited by an ancient man or Aztec-like people. ‘Narrator Tyler Glockner agrees with Mr. Waring’s assessment, adding: ‘I have to say these do look like pyramids, obviously ancient pyramids that would have some weathering over the years.

‘One thing about the ocean is that it actually preserves things much better, because you’re not out there in the open air where things can rust and deteriorate.

‘If these are pyramids, they could be much much older than, say, the ruins found on Earth that are barely still there and have nearly crumbled to dust.’

The pair point out that the two pyramids are not the same, with one appearing to be a perfect three sided structure, like the Great Pyramid of Giza. A third ancient underwater pyramids was found off the Atlantic Coast of Florida which few people know exist.  Multiple sources of information about the pyramids are available, but for simplicity most of the following information is from Bill Hanson’s book “The Atlantis Triangle.”

Hanson notes that the three pyramids are equally spaced – about 35 miles apart – on the west side of the Gulf Stream.  To add to the mystery, three other underwater pyramids have been seen on the east side of the Gulf Stream.  Those are 25 to 30 miles apart and located near Walker’s Cay, Great Sale Cay and the Berry Islands of the Bahamas.  Typically, the underwater pyramids have been seen after violent storms have temporarily swept away some of the sand covering the ancient structures.

Pilots flying low over the pyramid’s location stated, “All my magnetics had gone to zero.  Then a strange hue occurred all around me. At about 600 feet above water in the air that bright crimson hue simply baffled me.”The 240 HP Continental began to be the most crazily running engine I have ever had the experience to feel.  It became motionless no matter what I did with the throttle and pumps.  It glided and floated smoothly for at least two miles.  Then the engine simply started itself.  I could not dive because I was already on top of the water.  Then I realized that some force was pulling toward a westerly direction. . . After landing and getting inspection of Radio Communication and units, every last unit was blown, shorted out by some high frequency electronic shock, or mysterious high voltage in the air.” Thanks to Scott C.

DSP Satellite FastWalkers (UFOs)

The Defense Support Program (DSP) satellite has been detecting FastWalkers (UFOs) entering our atmosphere for decades. The DSP analyzes the temperature, location and trajectory of a hot infrared source could build up both a description of the type of missile as well as its target dramatically reducing the chances of a surprise ICBM attack. The satellite weighed about 2,000 pounds and had a 12-foot long Schmidt infrared telescope with a linear array of 2,048 lead sulfide detectors that detected infrared energy. The satellite rotated six times per minute as the sensor “scanned” the entire face of the Earth. The sensor provided below-the-horizon coverage by spotting the missile’s exhaust plume and carried sensors for detecting nuclear explosions in the atmosphere. The first DSP satellite was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 6, 1970, atop a Titan 3C rocket.

By late June 1973, the four DSP satellites in orbit had detected a total of 1,014 missile launches. They had proven quite successful and had relieved some of the tension that was always present during the Cold War. DSP also presented some surprises to its operators. The satellites began detecting infrared returns within and above the atmosphere that were entering and leaving the atmosphere. Some of these returns were caused by sunlight reflecting off the satellites or meteorites and these events were soon designated “Fast Walkers.“.  DSP satellites, which are operated by the Air Force Space Command, detect missile or spacecraft launches and nuclear explosions using sensors that detect the infrared emissions from these intense sources of heat. During Desert Storm, for example, DSP was able to detect the launches of Iraqi Scud missiles and provide timely warnings to civilians and military forces in Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Warrant Officer Joe Stefula reports, “Our DSP satellites track the launch of various missiles using various types of sensors but chiefly with Infrared sensors. In addition to the missiles the sensors also are able to pick up unidentified flying objects that are entering and leaving our atmosphere called FastWalkers.” UFO buffs were able to correlate ground UFO reports with ascending and descending UFOs

Slower anomalous objects are referred to has SlowWalkers. The DSP satellite system once composed of 18 units in deep space orbit picks up several UFO intruders or “FastWalkers” ascending and descending severaltimes a week. AeroJet General engineer and MUFON member Ron Regehr, helped design the satellites. Insiders report there is a great deal of excitement as the UFOs sometimes trigger the early warning system. Often they are referred to as Uncorrelated Targets indicating they are not in the computer data base for all known objects in space.

Editor’s Note – Uncorrelated targets coming into and leaving the atmosphere are picked up several times a week.  Correlated targets are various types of space junk tracked and kept in Air Force computers while uncorrelated targets are unknowns. Our Earth is an oasis in space and UFOs likely stop for resupply, relaxation and recreation.

For example, Pine Bush, New York, Mt. Shasta, California, , and Gulf Breeze, Florida in recent years have had a large number of sightings.  I know there are also missing persons in the areas of high UFO activity.  There are geological anomalies, and unusual helicopter and military activity.  I suggest our research specialists and consultants in various fields be tasked to look for anomalies in a particular area.  We may find a series of surprising relationships. I believe many scientists would be interested in actively helping us find the answer provided they had viable evidence to examine.

MUFON’s scientific consultants and research specialists will  provide a base cadre of scientifically trained personnel, who could be called on for help. We could also invite key Eastern universities to provide support and cooperation with the research.  The exact composition of the scientific personnel equipment will need further development. Certainly various engineering, scientific, medical, military and computer expertise would be needed.

SCIENTIFIC  PARAMETERS OF UFOs

The phenomena associated with the presence of a UFO can be accounted for within the following scientific parameters as provided by Dr. Jim Mc Campbell:

*The emission of electromagnetic radiation measured isotropically (all directions) of approximately 1 to 1.6 megawatts in a fairly narrow range of the microwave region.

*Wave length of one tenth to one twenty fifth millimeters, and a frequency of sixty to eighty cycles per second.  Electromagnetic energy in the range of 300 to 3,000 MHz or higher. *Pulse width of two to forty microseconds.

On top of the craft is a really high magnetic field which is about a million times more powerful than we know how to produce on the Earth.  There is also a slow ripple of about ten per second, with about five to ten seconds between ripples.  It’s about five to ten seconds per ripple, it’s very slow. That ripple is what causes the spinning of compasses which is reported so often. The radiant energy produces colored halos and plasmas around the UFO. Further research is needed concerning propulsion systems which probably propel by distorting the gravitational field and converting gravity into useable energy. The following equipment will provide the basis for the studies.

SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT

• Radar

Scientific equipment is needed to verify the above data and scientifically show that these measurements can be duplicated, wherever a UFO is encountered. Equipment should include radiation measuring devices, video, photographic and digital cameras with star filters (diffraction grating of the 4th order).  Some should be equipped with infrared and audio recorders. Additionally, we need magnetometers, magnetoscopes, portable radar equipment,  E M spectrum analyzers, pulse analyzers and fluxgate compasses. Communication capability with airfield towers and aircraft should also be provided. The equipment should also include Geiger radiation detection equipment that is directional.   Automatic recording devices set up with the equipment would also be needed.  Ray Fowler suggested we need both equipment and trained operators.  Simple magnetometers can be built and with alarms and recording devices.

• SIGNAL EQUIPMENT

Dr. Richard Haines from NASA as suggested that we may be able to signal or beckon the craft.  He has recorded 200 instances where this has been accomplished successfully and is presently writing a book on the subject.  He is willing to help us in signaling methods that appear to work such as search lights. Various types of signal equipment would be needed.

ABDUCTION PHENOMENA

There is a growing body of evidence that implies that many people around the world believe that they are being abducted.  Books such as “Intruders,” by the late Budd Hopkins and “Abductions” by John Mack M.D. present a strong case  that abductions by aliens are in fact taking place.  Dr. Mack is both a Pulitzer Prize winner and a professor of psychiatry at the Cambridge Hospital, of the Harvard Medical School.   Despite the claims of numerous witnesses and the research by many respected ufologists there is little verifiable evidence that physical  abductions are occurring.  Because of this lack of scientific proof, there is very little interest in the subject by the news media and science at large. Many people suffer both physical and mental trauma due to the phenomenon. Dr. Mack has publicly stated these people are not mentally ill, but have symptoms similar to person who has recently been raped or undergone severe mental stress.  These people need help to resolve their problem.  As the Eastern Director of MUFON, I propose that it may be possible to prove that physical abductions are or are not taking place.  Once we can prove the phenomenon, whatever the result, will provide help to these people. Our investigation may eventually prove  that we are interacting with non-human intelligence, but not necessarily extraterrestrial.

The abductees claim they are taken from their homes on a fairly regular basis and are onboard the UFOs.  If someone is tested shortly after returning from a high altitude flight his body can be tested to show probable proof of the flight.   I propose that known abductees can be monitored on a regular basis with the technology now available.  With the abductees  permission we can  provide them with an implant or tracking device to determine their location.  We may decide to track them during periods when they are most likely to be abducted.  Some abductees may be given placeboes rather than true implants to determine their responses.  The abductee will not know for certain if they carry a monitoring device.  This will help, if the kidnappers  can read minds.  There is suspicion that the abductees are in fact experiencing some type of out of body phenomenon.   The implant can determine if an abductee actually leaves his home. If the abductee is missing and returns we can quite possibly prove that they were involved in aerial flight.  Ray Fowler suggested we begin small with voice/noise actuated tape recorder, magnetometer, radar detector in an abductees home.  He stated: “Initial tests with the tape recorder and VCR with infra-red film have not produced anything substantial with Betty and Bob Luca except for noises that indicated a break into their trailer and a noise that coincide with an object Betty saw go through the window when it went through the metal blinds.”

Former NASA whistleblower’s shock claim space agency hid PROOF of UFOs orbiting Saturn

A DECORATED former NASA scientist has claimed the US space agency has proof that alien UFOs have been orbiting Saturn for years, but the shocking fact has been withheld from the public.

v By JON AUSTIN

Dr Norman Bergrun, a distinguished engineer who has worked with NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, said the rings of planet Saturn are a massive meeting place for extraterrestrials.

He claims “alien UFO spaceships” have started “proliferating” at a shocking rate on the planet’s many rings, which are made up of “space crafts and their exhaust fumes” but the world-changing evidence has been covered up at high-level within the US Government.

The former NASA engineer, who has written books on his claims and done numerous interviews, believes the number of UFO crafts in the solar system had reached “critical” levels.

Bizarrely, Dr Bergrun claims the spaceships include living entities, which use the rings as a source of energy, and are multiplying and spreading to other planets such as Uranus and Jupiter.

Dr Bergrun developed “roll stability laws for airplanes, missiles and rockets.”

https://www.express.co.uk/news/

Telemetry from Voyager 2 on its outward journey through the solar system shows that planet Uranus has a number of rings. One of the published photographic transmissions indicates that the rings are formed mechanistically the same as for Saturn. The ring-makers even lie within the ring at about the same angle as the ones shown for Saturn. Interestingly too, the Uranus moon, Miranda, has a combination of geological land forms found separately on various moons of Saturn.

Unusual terrain forms include square corners, nestled circular grooves, parallel straight-line grooves, and regions evidencing former viscous flow.

Some pictures of Mars suggest visitations by E.M.V.’s The massive power of E.M.V.’s means neither that humans absolutely should forgo space flights, nor that a Mars landing should never be undertaken. However, known presence of E.M.V.’s serves a substantial warning to space travelers at least to stay their distance. Failure to heed this warning could result in catastrophe and emotional unpleasantness much worse than that which resulted from the explosion of space-shuttle Challenger. As precursors to committing humans to remote space, the special jurisdiction claimed by E.M.V.’s should be ascertained. Meanwhile, all nations of the world should unite to meet the challenges and opportunities that these prodigious forces present.

Craters still are being explained by meteor impacts; but unorthodox terrain patterns simply do not fit this time-worn theory! Neither do these patterns fit conventional geological concepts. In contrast, strange surface shapes and contours and recent modification thereof readily are explicable in terms of observed electromagnetic vehicle capabilities. Presence of electromagnetic vehicles (E.M.V.’s) in the outer solar system forces attention on an extraordinary potential hazard of manned space flight not considered heretofore. E.M.V.’s can be expected to pose an extreme hazard to manned space flight in the vicinity of Saturn and Uranus, and probably even as near to Earth as Mars.

In terms of a clear and present danger, man-made nuclear bombs pose more of an immediate large- scale threat to human life. In contrast, an apparent long-term commitment by electromagnetic vehicles to the continuance of the human life chain is comforting. To anticipate, though, a perpetually unmarred status quo in the character of our earthly habitat is really an unreasonable expectation.

Lockheed Martin SR-72 Flies at Mach 6

I briefed the 21^st Air Force General staff on Iranian F-4 fighters attempting to attack a UFO in 1976. Their missiles failed to fire at the UFO but the fighters were able land safely.

Only UFOs or rockets are thought able to fly at Mach 10 or 7,612 miles per hour. If the “luminous objects” can fly at Mach 10, it suggests a reliable hypersonic reconnaissance aircraft is in the US inventory. Perhaps the SR-72 is operational?

Aviation Week & Space Technology, Senior Editor Guy Norris lifts the wraps on the SR-72’s cutting-edge design, including a propulsion breakthrough that would allow the aircraft to fly twice as fast as the SR-71 Blackbird — six times the speed of sound — but still take off from and land on a runway like a convention.

The 4000 year old Beauty of Loulan of China

Loulan was discovered in 1980, but it was 3800 years ago that she died in China on the trade route known as the Silk Road.  The natural dryness and salty soil preserved her and over two hundred other mummies, who had lived in settlements along the trade route. The mummy has been called the Loulan Beauty because of her amazingly preserved stately facial features that have remained quite beautiful even in death.

The Chinese government has been reluctant to allow full access to the mummies because of their Caucasian identity. The Tarim mummies look more European than Asian and may be descendants of the original inhabitants of the area, possibly alien,  and not later arrivals, as Chinese history claims.

Victor Mair, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, was instrumental in getting access to these mummies’ genetic samples in 1993. Their findings revealed that the mummies are indeed European but they probably migrated from the Siberian region. Mainstream historians have always had the concept that early people were not world travelers when in fact most evidence points to just the opposite. Loulan’s people are clearly of Caucasian descent and their grave goods suggest that they were probably merchants of textiles.

The settlements along the Silk Road might very well have been meeting points where merchants from the west traded their goods for goods from the east. Pliny the Elder described the traders from this area as tall with flaxen hair and blue eyes.  Loulan herself lived to be about 40 to 45. One of the mummies, the Yingpan Man, was six feet six inches tall and wore a red tunic with gold embroidery. He also wore a gold foil burial mask.

She probably died from lung disease and was buried in well-made woven clothing. Some of the mummies are actually wearing plaid patterned loomed cloth. Many of the mummies are tattooed like modern tattooing and one female has crescent moons and ovals tattooed on her face. A male mummy known as the Chrechen Man has sun tattoos on his temples, although the tattoos could represent UFOs.  It is known that the ancient people rode horses, used chariots and had at least some medical knowledge.

The Chinese government did allow further testing in 2007 and 2009 and the findings supported the Siberian connection as well as suggesting the mixing of people from Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, Europe and other unknown sources.  Thanks to Margaret Moose.

Note: I suggest the unknown sources were extraterrestrial.

Almost 200 pyramids ten thousand years old are found in China near other Caucasian blonds and red heads.

UFO Sightings in the United States

Alabama Light

Sumiton –I was outside looking through my telescope when I noticed it flying around moon on July25, 2018. This isn’t the first time they’ve messed with me I was scared an alone I stopped filming is how I lost site of object.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Arizona Light

Cottonwood — My wife first noticed an unusual object through bedroom window late evening on July 24, 2018.

. She woke me to point it out. We both went to the patio with binoculars. We saw a bright twinkling object that did not appear to be a star. Every once in awhile it would flash. Looking at it through the binoculars, it appeared to be rotating rapidly giving off red, green, blue, and white colors. We first noticed these objects in early April but still see them to this day. At the beginning we were quite excited to see them and would go out as soon as it was dark enough to see them. Now we watch them and wonder if we are being observed back. I’m no astronomer by any stretch but have tried to identify them with known stars or star patterns. I did some poor video of them and took a few still photos. As the days went by, the objects appeared to get smaller but are still identifiable. At various times they will disappear from one location only to see like objects to appear somewhere else. At present 4 or 5 of these objects, or similar, have formed a pattern in the NNE sky, again low on the horizon. Periodically as we are observing these lights, other star-like, but different, objects will enter our field of view from various directions, some changing direction, some appearing to pulse, some fading out while others continue until they are out of sight. I am very familiar with conventional aircraft and navigation light patterns. These are not conventional aircraft. Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Object

 Mt Shasta – A white UFO has been seen over Mt. Shasta for several days starting on July 20, 2018. The local Mt Shasta news has been carrying the story. Sometimes it appears longer but always flies at very high levels. It appears to be a small cylinder perhaps observing heavy fires in Mt. Shasta County and the UFO Conference Venus with Love being held in the area.

Florida Lights

I got home from the gym and noticed a strange light.

I have the video of it.

Photo was taken June 23, 2018.

Michigan Light

Rochester Hills — After studying these objects for the last 3 years, that were first seen in March 2015, I am finally getting good pics. Since the 4th of July fireworks season, there have been 6-10 objects visible each night in my area. On this night I saw 5 different objects. This was the last one I saw before going in, it was moving lower in the sky than any object I have ever seen. I estimate this object was 10,000 feet up. It was bright white, at least +2 mag moving faster than a plane; It continued to move north toward me. It followed the line along the top of the roof of my building. When it got to me, suddenly there was a bright flash. It hovered briefly, then it made a sharp 60 degree turn to the NW, dimmed from bright white to a reddish color. It moved from sight below roof to the NW, Photo shows varying surface colors; it is like a square box with a larger “lid” on it. From the bottom, is a rod extending each direction, with a sphere attached to the end of each rod with its own light source It has apparent structure; stops, ascends, descends, hovers. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Montana Orb

Polson – On July 20, 2018, I went outside around 5:30 AM and saw a bright light up in the sky to the Northwest. I went and grabbed my camera and took a few pictures, came back outside about 5 minutes later and took a few more. And then maybe 5 or 10 minutes later I took the last pictures. I could barely see the object by then. The pictures are all zoomed in as far as my camera would go. I couldn’t detect movement with my naked eye for the first pictures, but the last time I came outside to take a few more I noticed the light had moved quite a bit down and to the right. I have 6 more pictures.

Note: A check of astronomical tables showed that no planets or the moon was visible at the time of the sighting. Also the amount of movement noted by the witness in a short period of time would eliminate celestial objects. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

New Jersey Light

Hammonton — Awake at 2 am and spotted bouncing ball of light over my blueberry field. Captured 2 minutes and 40 seconds of video containing a stationary “ball of light” once zoomed in and frame stopped, it appears to be a meteor that “stayed still” cannot wrap our heads around this.

Most amazing and beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Then stopped recording and it remained stationary until I fell asleep. No sightings of meteor landings in my area this morning. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nevada Cylinder

 Caliente — Did not see UFO until looking at the photo afterwards. I took  through the car window.

Could be reflection on window, but object does not appear to be so. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Oregon Object

Depoe Bay — I was sitting on the patio and noticed unusual cloud and contrail patterns and formations. I went back into the house and took cell phone photo on December 31, 2017. Seven months later my wife and I noticed a black object adjacent to or in one of the contrails. There is also a very strange shaped cloud in the midst of the contrails. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington Orbs

Skyway — On July 18, 2018Here’s my report, with two attached sketches. Just a heads up, the website didn’t work on my phone in chrome for some reason using HTC U11 Android operating system and it kept saying forbidden when I tried submitting twice. It was odd.

So last night at 8:45 PM (7-18-2018) I was watching the sunset in Skyway looking Northeast towards Lake Washington and downtown Seattle, but more towards Bellevue I would say. From where I was looking and at first I just saw one orb like flying object kind of gliding in the sky and not making any sound or emitting any vapor. I yelled to my partner to have him come see it, but he was not feeling up to it and was scared to look and then have nightmares or have any weirdness from seeing them. I went back out and I then saw two! Both were the same size gliding at the same speed and moving very gradually in various directions and different angles, but so slowly that you would hardly notice it change its angle. I just watched them slowly glide off over Lake Washington, Renton and Mercer Island area or even closer as I was not sure if they were drones. When I saw two, I didn’t believe it could be a drone. I had felt anxious watching them, as it was so foreign to me, so I went inside and didn’t take a photo or watch too much longer for fear of any freaky stuff occurring. It was very frightening actually although they were so small and seemed like they were almost too small to have a human in them, but possibly they were remote operated or drones. The general shape of them were dome like bubbles slightly oblong and seemed to have more material on top of the craft. There was no visible seam or welding of the top and bottom parts, so they were very unusual and were probably the size of a Volkswagen Bug. I saw no propellers, indication of any propulsion pushing it in any direction. They just glided slowly and very stealth like, as if trying to not draw too much attention. Perhaps they were being operated by someone not too far below on ground perhaps, but I highly doubt it. They seemed to be only a mile away from me in the sky I would say, with one slightly further and higher up than the second one I saw. When I returned to the front yard I realized I was seeing two now and the second one was closer and a bit lower than the other and further back, by about a half a mile from one another, but seemed to be together, gliding in the same direction. The color was most similar to a dull/matte silver/grayish color. They were solid in color and I saw no lights or holes or anything on the surface of the craft besides its shape and smooth movement. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Object

On July 22, 2018, I was parked at the river and noticed a red cone shaped light moving in the sky then it stopped

I go it on my cell phone had a strange cross a one end it took off at a huge speed in an easterly direction and I lost sight of it.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Canada  Object

Parry Sound — Son in law took this pic, would appreciate what your photo analysis experts think, I assure you this is a legit picture , thank you, please contact if you need more info, thank you!

Son in law took this picture on July 16, 2018, would appreciate what your photo analysis experts think, I assure this is a legit picture , thank you, please contact if you need more info, thank you!

Stellarton — Whole driving east on Highway 104 in Nova Scotia, Canada writer noted object flying by and tool picture of same. Object headed in a southerly direction on August 21, 2017 . No entities were seen.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Czech Republic Triangle

– Novy Jicin — I as in my pool and observed stars.
In my opinion it was real ufo above the nearby town of Príbor. There was a large thunderstorm and flashes at around 23:00, and suddenly a triangular-shaped object appeared above my house and sailed across the sky toward the southwest. When he was at my level, he did a little maneuver and leaned at a distance of about 20 degrees to me and continued on the flight without noise and lighting.

I was quite impressed when he appeared so close to me completely silent, and I saw the contours and the hemisphere, and I watched in amazement as he disappeared on the horizon.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

France Object

Luminous object in the shape of a ball changing color. Going from white to orange and pulling a little on the red. With a predominance for the orange color. The object has a vertical path from top to bottom with a very slow descent speed.
At first sight the object seems to be stationary but it is not the case. It does not present any flashing light like an aircraft. The object was to the left of Notre Dame de la Garde with a real point of view. Fenced on St Tronc in the 10th arrondissement of Marseille, from a balcony on the last floor of a building.
I observed the object with a binocular marine type Bushnell 7 to 50 which incorporates a digital compass. The binocular showed me an angle of 250Â °, so almost full West.  Wind west 51 km / h gusting to 68 km Thermohygrometric data confirmed by my weather station Netatmo.
Atmospheric pressure: 1007.2 mbar. Object big enough to be seen in the night sky.
The object came out of my field of vision when it passed behind the hill of Notre Dame de la Garde. It was 21:41. I have no explanation as to the true nature of this object. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Iceland Object

Asbyrgi Visitor Center — We were taking photos in the Asbyrgi Canyon area on June 26, 2018. Nothing was observed in person however there is a prominent unknown flying object in my photo. It is not a bird and does not appear to be an airplane. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Netherlands Triangle

Spaarndam — I was in the middle of a playing field of a Footgolf playground on July 15, 2018 on a beautiful summer afternoon with nice clouds. I took two pictures of the sky and horizon. The time between the two pictures was not more than 2-4 seconds. At the time all of us (8 persons) and other people in the field did not noticed anything. When I was home I looked back at some photo’s of that day and noticed something odd in the second picture of the same event. A triangle shaped object appears out of nowhere. At that time it was silent and for me this is an UFO. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Poland Orbs

Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki — My name’s Lucas and I’m from, , a small town about 30 km (19 miles) from Warsaw.

I’m actually writing to you because on the night of May 9, 2018, I was taking long exposure (30 sec) photos with a friend of mine. Suddenly, on one of the photos a strange object appeared. It wasn’t visible to the naked eye, so without hesitation we took another shot and the object appeared on the photo again. We cleaned the lens. We took another two shots the mysterious object came into sight again but this time it changed its position and angle. Maybe you could analyze them? The sky is busy with planes taking off from the nearby Warsaw – Modlin airport. Thanks to MUFON CMS

UK England Triangle

 Kent — I was out taking a usual walk down the sandy beach in Folkestone, Kent, UK, august 12, 2014, when all I did was to take a selfie. I noticed something in the background which I cannot explain what it is. People think I’ve edited it somehow but I honestly have not.

Did a Russian Made Missile Really Strike a New Israeli F-35 Stealth Fighter?

In any event, what’s most interesting about this story isn’t whether an F-35 was hit by a Russian missile. Like the existence of UFOs, the story may or not be true, but we need more than circumstantial evidence to give it any credence.

Un OVNI a été filmé au-dessus de Belfort (vidéo)

Un OVNI a été filmé au-dessus de Belfort (vidéo)

Le samedi 28 juillet 2018, dans la soirée, plusieurs habitants de la ville de Belfort ont observé un étrange OVNI dans le ciel. L’un des témoins a réussi à le filmer.

Ce mystérieux objet volant non identifié, de forme rectangulaire, était complètement stationnaire. Il aurait été visible pendant un peu plus d’une demi-heure. En analysant les images prises, on remarque qu’il ne s’agissait visiblement pas d’une montgolfière, d’un cerf-volant, d’un ballon ou encore d’un hélicoptère.

Cet engin noir émettait un halo lumineux de couleur orange. Les lumières de l’OVNI ont changé de couleurs peu avant qu’il ne se volatilise soudainement.

Certains ont imaginé qu’il pourrait s’agir d’un drone sophistiqué ou encore d’un prototype d’avion solaire, comme l’a suggéré l’un des témoins.

Certains internautes ont commenté :

« Il y a, effectivement, une espèce de cerf-volant en statique, depuis déjà longtemps, accroché à un câble, au dessus du secteur des services de l’ APRR et de la gendarmerie de l’autoroute, vers l’échangeur de Bessoncourt.

Ceci-dit, je peux témoigner que les phénomènes inexplicables appelés “OVNI” ne sont pas une légende, ayant été personnellement témoin d’une telle apparition dans les années 70. J’en avais d’ailleurs fait un rapport détaillé au GEIPAN, qui m’a répondu que, malheureusement, il ne pouvait le prendre en compte du fait que cette observation avait été effectuée à l’étranger; car cet organisme officiel n’étudie que les phénomènes observés au dessus du territoire national », explique Arioviste.

Aurélie V. raconte avoir déjà observé ce possible OVNI :

« Ce n’est pas la première fois !

Nous l’avions déjà vu de notre terrasse plusieurs fois en soirée en juillet. Il semblerai qu’il soit relié au sol car on voit des câbles de loin.. »

Et vous, qu’en pensez-vous ?

Great Pyramid of Giza can focus pockets of energy through its chambers, scientists reveal

THE Pyramids may have been built 4000 years ago but scientists have discovered something useful about the way they were constructed.

SCIENTISTS have made an incredible discovery about the 4000-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza which could help boost renewable energy in the current day.

Scientists from Russia have discovered that Egypt’s largest pyramid can trap electric and magnetic energy into its chambers to spark higher levels of energy.

Solar Plane Flies Over Egyptian Pyramids

Researchers from ITMO University in Russia and the Laser Zentrum Hannover found that the 150-metre structure is capable of creating pockets of higher energy in its inner rooms and at its base, reports The Sun.

Scientists have discovered that the pyramid can trap electric and magnetic energy into its chambers to spark higher levels of energy.

The research group plans to use the results to design nanoparticles, which will be used to develop sensors and highly efficient solar cells, reports The Journal of Applied Physics.

Dr Andrey Evlyukhin, scientific supervisor and co-ordinator of the study, said: “Egyptian pyramids have always attracted great attention.

“We as scientists were interested in them as well, so we decided to look at the Great Pyramid as a particle dissipating radio waves resonantly.

More than 4000 years after they were built, the Pyramids are still helping us today.

“Due to the lack of information about the physical properties of the pyramid, we had to use some assumptions.

“For example, we assumed that there are no unknown cavities inside, and the building material with the properties of an ordinary limestone is evenly distributed in and out of the pyramid.

“With these assumptions made, we obtained interesting results that can find important practical applications.”

Scientists also found a hidden chamber in Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza in 2017.

Researchers modelled the distribution of electromagnetic fields inside the pyramid while studying the interactions of electrical waves.

Scientists have deduced that the pyramid concentrates this electromagnetic energy in its hidden chambers, which includes rooms containing the remains of Pharoah Khufu and his wife.

There is also a third, unfinished chamber beneath the base of the huge structure.

And the team’s analysis shows that the powerful pyramid concentrates electromagnetic energy in its internal chambers.

These hidden rooms include the chamber holding the mummified body of Pharaoh Khufu — who the iconic monument was built for — and another built for his wife.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt.

But scientists believe the unusual discovery about the electromagnetic energy in the pyramid are just a coincidence.

They believe it is highly unlikely Ancient Egyptians knew anything about the science behind it and would not have built it in this way deliberately.

The pyramid took 20 years to build using around 100,000 slaves.

Scientists now plan to use the incredible discovery on a much smaller scale, which could create effective solar cells.

The higher energy can be used to develop extremely sensitive solar cells or even tiny sensors.

Des OVNI lumineux repérés près de la Lune (vidéo)

Des OVNI lumineux repérés près de la Lune (vidéo)

Récemment, deux mystérieux éclairs lumineux ont éclaté sur le côté obscur de la Lune. Quelle est l’origine de ces lumières non identifiées ? Sont-elles d’origine extraterrestre ?

Ces phénomènes bizarres ont été observés à partir de la Terre par le Système de Détection et d’Analyse des Impacts sur la Lune (« Moon Impacts Detection and Analysis System » ou « MIDAS ») les nuits du 17 juillet et du 18 juillet 2018.

Les observatoires MIDAS en Espagne scrutent quotidiennement la surface de la Lune à la recherche d’impacts d’astéroïdes et de météores.

Un communiqué de l’Agence spatiale européenne (ESA) a révélé que des flashs avaient été enregistrés à exactement 24 heures d’intervalle, « comme si l’un était à la recherche » de l’autre.

Des photographies détaillées de la surface cahoteuse de la Lune, capturées par des caméras CCD à haute sensibilité, montrent le moment exact de l’impact.

Mais cette vidéo pourrait-elle être la preuve que les chasseurs d’OVNI ont besoin pour finalement régler le débat sur l’existence ou non de visiteurs extraterrestres sur Terre ?

Il est extrêmement improbable que les photos lunaires aient quelque chose à voir avec les extraterrestres, mais MIDAS et l’ESA sont d’accord pour dire que les flashs étaient d’origine extraterrestre.

L’ESA a déclaré : « Le 17 juillet 2018, un ancien morceau provenant de l’espace a été projeté sur la Lune avec assez d’énergie pour produire un éclair de lumière brillant. »

« Un autre rocher était apparemment à sa poursuite puisqu’un deuxième éclair a illuminé une région différente de la Lune presque exactement 24 heures plus tard. »

Malgré la force de l’impact, les estimations actuelles suggèrent que les impacteurs étrangers n’étaient pas plus gros qu’une noix de taille moyenne.

Les roches spatiales de cette taille, appelées météoroïdes, sont généralement des vestiges d’astéroïdes plus gros et de comètes qui dérivent sans but dans l’espace.

Les météoroïdes clignotants en question provenaient vraisemblablement de la traînée poussiéreuse laissée dans le sillage de la comète lors de la pluie de météores Alpha Capricornides.

Cette pluie de météores commence généralement le 15 juillet et se poursuit jusqu’à la mi-août.

L’agence européenne a déclaré : « Depuis au moins mille ans, les gens ont affirmé être témoins de phénomènes de courte durée présents sur la face de la Lune. »

« Par définition, ces éclairs transitoires sont difficiles à étudier, et déterminer leur cause reste un défi. »

Trois observatoires astronomiques en Espagne scrutent la Lune à la recherche de ces éclairs transitoires pour le compte du projet MIDAS.

Les observatoires utilisent de puissants télescopes et des caméras CCD pour détecter et identifier les différents impacts qui agitent la Lune.

Jose Maria Madiedo, du MIDAS, a déclaré qu’une meilleure compréhension de ces impacts lunaires pourrait aider à mieux protéger la Terre contre des dangers similaires.

L’expert spatial a déclaré : « En étudiant les météoroïdes sur la Lune, nous pouvons déterminer combien de roches l’impactent et à quelle fréquence, et à partir de là, nous pouvons déduire les chances d’impact sur Terre. »

Cette explication scientifique paraît parfaitement plausible. Toutefois, la possibilité d’OVNI ne devrait pas être écartée. Dans ce genre de cas, il est nécessaire de garder l’esprit ouvert.

NASA is ready to go where no spacecraft has gone before. Some space fans may already know that the Parker Solar Probe, which is set to come within 4 million miles of the surface of the sun, was supposed to launch July 31. Now, the Parker Solar Probe is scheduled for liftoff next week, which makes now as good a time as any to learn everything there is to know about this extraordinary spacecraft.

The Parker Solar Probe is supposed to become the first spacecraft to enter the sun’s corona, or its outer atmosphere. NASA is calling it “a mission 60 years in the making,” and the historic journey is one you won’t want to miss.

What To Expect From The Parker Solar Probe

What Will the Parker Solar Probe Do?

The Parker Solar Probe will travel almost seven times closer to the sun than any spacecraft that has come before. NASA wants to get close to it to better predict space weather effects on Earth and on all of us fragile Earthlings.

When it moves towards the sun, the Parker Solar Probe will race through space at 430,000 miles per hour, becoming the fastest man-made object in the solar system. It will also provide humanity with the first samplings of a star’s corona ever, NASA reports.

Over the course of a seven-year mission, NASA says, the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft will make 24 orbits of the sun.

The Parker Solar Probe has now cleared final procedures before being moved to the launch pad, NASA reports. The agency is closer than ever before to “touching” the sun, and as long as all goes according to plan, this historic spacecraft will head toward our heavens on August 11.

Elon Musk Wants to Terraform Mars, and He's Refusing to Back Down

By Mike Brown

Elon Musk is not giving up on his dream of transforming Mars into humanity’s second home. The SpaceX CEO has been debating over Twitter this week about whether the red planet has the right resources to support an Earth-like atmosphere. A new study claims there isn’t enough carbon dioxide available to support the plan, but Musk points to evidence that humans could release sufficient gases from the Martian soil using the right technology

The debate started on Monday, when a study published in the journal Nature Astronomy explored two approaches to terraforming Mars. The first is to create an atmosphere sufficient for supporting liquid water on Mars’ surface, meaning humans could freely walk around and breathe the air, while the second involves raising the planet’s atmospheric pressure so humans will only need to use a small breathing apparatus rather than the bulky spacesuits of today. The researchers, Bruce Jakosky of the University of Colorado Boulder and Christopher S. Edwards of Northern Arizona University, found that the planet doesn’t have enough carbon dioxide to support either plan, as Mars only holds enough carbon dioxide to create around 15 millibars of atmospheric pressure. Destroying Martian sedimentary rocks would only release around 12 millibars. For comparison, Earth’s atmosphere reaches 1,000 millibars at sea level.

Musk disputed the findings, which were reported in Discover Magazine.

Musk’s goal is to transform humanity into a “multi-planetary species.” While SpaceX plans to send humans to Mars as soon as 2024, the long-term goal is to set up a permanent Mars base that could eventually span out into a city. His June 2017 article in the journal New Space claimed Mars is a better candidate for colonization than the moon because it has an atmosphere, more natural resources, and a 24.5-hour day compared to the moon’s 28-day day. At the International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia, last September, Musk showed an artist’s impression of how this city may look.

This is just the beginning, though. Musk wants to move away from small extraterrestrial bases and instead toward humans as a star-hopping species. In June 2017, he wrote that “there are really two fundamental paths … One path is we stay on Earth forever, and then there will be some eventual extinction event. I do not have an immediate doomsday prophecy, but eventually, history suggests, there will be some doomsday event. The alternative is to become a space-bearing civilization and a multi-planetary species, which I hope you would agree is the right way to go.”

Musk has spoken before about how he could transform Mars into a livable planet. He told TV host Stephen Colbert in September 2015 that humans could fire nuclear weapons at Mars to melt the frozen stores of carbon dioxide, inducing a rapid climate change to benefit humans. Another, suggested the following month, is to create “tiny pulsing suns over the poles [that are] above the planet, not on the planet.” These would “gasify frozen carbon dioxide, thicken the atmosphere and warm up the water and all of that would have a greenhouse effect, a cascading effect, to continue warming up the planet.”

The magazine responded by speaking to Jakosky and Edwards about their research. The pair admitted Musk is right, Mars does contain adsorbed carbon dioxide, but Jakosky could only conceive of two methods for releasing the gases. The first would be to release chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, to induce rapid climate change, while the other would involve using a mirror as big as the day side of Mars to warm it up quickly. Both of these ideas are centuries away, and even then it’s unclear whether Martian rock adsorbs gas as efficiently as Earth rock. While a favorable ecosystem and warm temperatures encourage gas adsorption on Earth, NASA’s Curiosity rover has found few signs of rocks with carbonates.

Musk responded by citing a 1993 paper, written by Robert M. Zubrin of Martin Marietta Astronautics and Christopher P. McKay of the NASA Ames Research Center, which claims that humans could indeed use today’s technology to transform the planet and develop a suitable atmosphere. People would need to use a breathing apparatus, but they could ditch the pressure suits and walk around freely. The paper describes this dramatic project, which would require multi-terawatt power sources, as “a leap in human power over nature as dramatic as that which accompanied the creation of post-Renaissance industrial civilization.”

“There is positive feedback- we warm Mars a few degrees C with CF4. this will cause CO2 to outgas from the soil,” Zubrin wrote in support of Musk on Twitter. “That will warm Mars more, releasing more CO2, resulting in a runaway greenhouse effect. Contrary to Jakowsky, the required CO2 is almost certainly there. If the soil contains one percent adsorbed CO2 by wt, it will contain enough CO2 in the top 200 m to give Mars a 300 mb (5 psi) atmosphere - same pressure as Skylab - or Mt Everest. No need for spacesuits on such a Mars.”

Zubrin also criticized Jakowsky for claiming in the ‘90s that there was no ice at mid-latitudes on Mars, a claim disputed by scientists as they discover further potential stores of water over the coming years. Zubrin claims that, as with his ice claims, Jakowsky has no data to assert that Mars does not have enough carbon dioxide.

As for when this could take place if Musk and Zubrin are correct? Zubrin estimates that it would take around 100 years for heat to penetrate Mars to 40 meters’ depth, and a further 500 years to reach 100 meters’ depth.

Deze wormen overleefden 40.000 jaar in ijs - HLN.be

Redactie  LVB 

Bron: VTM Nieuws

Als het klopt wat wetenschappers beweren in het vakblad ‘Doklady Biological Sciences’, zijn deze wormen maar liefst 41.700 jaar oud. Het gaat om twee geslachten, de zogeheten Plectus en de Panagrolaimus, die in de Siberische permafrost verbleven en bijna 42.000 jaar geleden aan een winterslaapje begonnen. Tienduizenden jaren hebben ze in een ijslaag overleefd. Onderzoekers die bodemmonsters verzamelden, vonden de dieren. In het laboratorium werden de wormen in een petrischaaltje tot een temperatuur van 20 graden Celsius opgewarmd. Na enkele weken kwam er beweging in: de rondwormen, allebei vrouwelijk, kropen rond en gingen weer eten. Het zou gaan om ’s wereld oudste levende dieren. 

“Rondwormen kunnen heel goed tegen bevriezing”, zegt nematoloog Wim Bert (UGent). “Dat fenomeen is natuurlijk al veel langer bekend. Ik doe het zelf ook voor practicalessen. Vooral de lange duur is hier opvallend. Er wordt nu snel gesproken over het opnieuw tot leven wekken van andere, grotere dieren of het invriezen van mensen, maar op dat vlak heb je weinig aan de rondwormen. De wormen hebben geen hersenen. Die invriezen en weer tot leven brengen, is veel moeilijker en ligt nog ver weg.” (DM)

New radio telescope picks up mysterious signal from space

The observatory in Canada may have already found clues to one of the newest mysteries in astronomy.

The CHIME radio telescope at dusk in British Columbi

Andre Recnik

A new radio telescope in Canada is doing its job picking up mysterious signals from deep space known as "fast radio bursts" (FRBs).

The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) in British Columbia detected the first-ever FRB at frequencies below 700 MHz on July 25, a signal named FRB 180725A.

Fast radio bursts Signals Picked Up, What are these insanely powerful signals from space?

As you might guess, FRBs are milliseconds-long bursts of radio emissions that come from some unknown source across the universe. They're one of the newer cosmic mysteries around, having been first detected only about a decade ago. Possible explanations include bursts from magnetars, exploding black holes, and yes, highly advanced alien civilizations.

CHIME has been operating for less than a year and is designed to gather data on FRBs and other unanswered questions in astrophysics. The detection of FRB 180725A is very preliminary at this point. It was announced in an online "Astronomer's Telegram" post intended to encourage other astronomers "to search for repeated bursts at all wavelengths."

The announcement also notes that additional FRBs have been found in the past week at frequencies as low as 400 MHz and early indications suggest they aren't coming from known sources on Earth.

So far only one FRB has been observed repeating and researchers say whatever is sending that signal across the universe is stupendously powerful.

It's early days for both the study of FRBs and this FRB in particular. CHIME and other observatories will be keeping an ear to the sky for more clues to help solve the mystery.
