NASA stuurt laser ruimte in om ijs op aarde te bestuderen - HLN.be

Bron: Belga

De missie is “buitengewoon belangrijk voor de wetenschap”, zo had Richard Slonaker, bij NASA verantwoordelijk voor het programma ICESat-2, voor de lancering aan journalisten uitgelegd. Sinds tien jaar had het agentschap geen instrument meer in de ruimte om de dikte van de ijslagen op de planeet te meten.

Met ICESat-2 zullen de metingen “uiterst precies” zijn, tot op de dikte van een potlood, verzekerde een lid van de ploeg, Kelly Brunt.

De vorige missie, ICESat, werd in 2003 gelanceerd en liep in 2009 af. De wetenschappers kwamen toen te weten dat het pakijs dunner wordt en dat de oppervlakten bedekt met ijs verdwijnen in de kuststreken van Groenland en Antarctica.

Lying within Thiruvananthapuram, in Kerala, India, is a grand structure known as Padmanabhaswamy Temple, with the name derived from the word Padmanabha, meaning “One emerging from the lotus.” Dating back to at least the 6th century and steadily renovated throughout the 16th century by the Kings of the Travancore Royal Family, it is one of the 108 temples of Vaishnavism, or the worship of Vishnu, one of the main deities of Hinduism. Indeed, the lavish temple prominently displays an enormous statue of Vishnu depicted in an unusual reclining position upon the five-hooded serpent Anantha, or Adi Sesha, with the whole thing measuring 20 feet square and carved from a single vast slab of stone. This is already quite a grand place, with its unique architecture, its massive statues and ornate sculptures, and copious amounts of gold leafing and a gold plated exterior. It also holds a dark and ancient mystery that has remained unsolved to this day, and mysterious doorway that has remained sealed for centuries and leads to the unknown.

Padmanabhaswamy Temple has featured heavily in lore and literature, especially within Sangam Tamil literature and poetry, where it was often depicted as having once been a wondrous place full of vast riches and with walls crafted from gold, and known as one of the the richest temples in the world. Yet in addition to its sheer splendor, it is also a place of great mystery, with its exact year of founding unknown and much of the complex unexplored or kept secret from the outside world for hundreds of years, and in recent times it has been found to be even more impressive and mysterious than it already was.

Padmanabhaswamy Temple

In 2011, the ancient temple was finally explored more thoroughly after long being mostly closed off entirely from the outside world by the secretive royal family of Travancore, and it was found to house 6 massive sealed underground vaults, labelled A to F, and all closed off with ornately designed solid iron or granite doors that were locked tight and seemed to be utterly immovable. It appeared that they had never been opened by the priests of the temple, and it was completely unknown as to what was there in the ancient darkness beyond. At the time these doors and the mysterious vaults that lie behind them captured the public imagination, and the media watched every new development carefully as preparations were made to enter and catalogue the contents of these forgotten places. Much speculation swirled at the time as to what would be discovered within, with ideas ranging from that they would find mere dust and bones, others who surmised they held unfathomable riches, and others still certain that they held curses or even the secrets of the universe. Nobody knew as crews began trying to open them.

Getting the formidable vaults open would quickly prove to be easier said than done. Starting from vault A it was immediately apparent that these were protected, forbidden places not meant to ever be opened, and very likely intentionally sealed for the rest of eternity, and it took nearly a full day of nonstop effort with modern equipment to pry the first vault open, which held within it a vast trove of treasure beyond perhaps anyone’s expectations. There glittering in the murk were jewels, coins, gold and silver bars, solid gold idols and figurines, diamonds, gemstone encrusted artifacts and ceremonial garb, ornate jewelry, over 2,000 pounds of gold coins, and a massive gem and diamond studded golden throne. One of the members of the government committee sent to oversee the project would say of the breathtaking sight:

When the granite slab was removed, almost absolute darkness prevailed behind it – it was diluted only by a dim ray of light from the doorway. I looked into the black pantry, and I saw an amazing sight: like stars shimmered in the sky on a moonless night. Diamonds and other precious stones flashed, reflecting the faint light coming from the open door. Most of the treasures were stacked in wooden chests, but eventually the tree turned into rubbish. Precious stones and gold simply lay in piles on the dusty floor. They were not really arranged systematically. There were baskets, some earthen pots, some copper pots, and in all these things, these things were kept. It was a magnificent experience. There are no words to describe it. I have never seen anything like this.

Other vaults in the temple would prove to be equally as hard to open, yet also bursting with mind-boggling amounts of lost treasure, until an estimated $22 billion dollars’ worth of loot was eventually catalogued from the vaults, all thought to be the result of the accumulation of thousands of years of donations and gifts to the temple and its deity from Kings and dynasties across the land. Yet for all of this amazing wealth uncovered, although 5 of the vaults were opened, one remained stubbornly resistant to all efforts to disgorge its secrets. Vault B, also called Bharatakkon Kallara, is unique amongst the others, considered to be a Holy repository closely associated with the Deity Vishnu and with an exceptionally sturdy solid iron door lacking any nuts, bolts, locks, knobs, or latches, and adorned with the image of two gigantic cobras on each side denoting it as a special and sacred place indeed, and it is not even included in the official temple inventory. Initial efforts to open Vault B met with failure, and indeed its secrets remain sealed away to this day.

There are many strange stories, rumors, and legends associated with the mysterious Vault B. One is a legend that states that the door is impossible to open by any earthly means, that it had been in fact sealed by a mystical spell and mantra that could only be undone by the one who had cast it or an equally powerful priest. If a proper counter spell called a “Garuda Mantra” is uttered, it is said that the door will magically unlock and open to disgorge its secrets. Additionally, anyone who tries to forcefully open the door is rumored to be cursed for trying, and that to actually force it open is to flirt with unimaginable catastrophe. Indeed, it has long been rumored that many of the original committee tasked with trying to divulge the chamber’s secrets have met with freak accidents and misfortune, further bolstering the idea that the vault is cursed.

Another persistent rumor is that the vault is protected by a spell called a Naga Bandham, or “snake binding spell,” which is said to conjure up the protection of serpent deities. According to this tale, anyone who tries to enter the inner sanctum of the chamber will incite the fury and wrath of these snake spirits, and there is one unverified account of this in action. In the 1933 book Travancore; a guide book for the visitor, author Emily Gilchriest Hatch describes a harrowing incident in which some people visiting the temple tried to pry the vault open in 1931, only to find it crawling with countless venomous snakes that sent them running in terror. In this curse, it is said that a particular set of soundwaves at a specific frequency is to be aimed at the inner lock mechanism, which will supposedly disengage the curse and open the door.

Yet another rumor is that the door to the vault issues forth the sounds the crashing waves of the sea, leading to the idea that it is attached somehow by a secret tunnel to the ocean. According to this story, opening that door could very well unleash a catastrophic flood that would inundate all of Kerala, and that it is best left untouched. In every one of these scenarios we have curses, misfortune, death, cataclysm, and deadly snakes, but while these may just be legends the fact remains that Vault B has never been opened. What lies within it? Some say that it holds a treasure the likes of which the world has never seen, and there is also the theory that is contains tomes of magical and esoteric knowledge, but no one really knows. The only one said to understand the secret of this mysterious locked chamber is Uthradom Thirunal Marthanda Varma, the head of the erstwhile royal family of Travancore, and he has vowed never to reveal it.

The soundtrack of Indiana Jones is playing in you head now, isn’t it? For now, the mysterious Vault B of Padmanabhaswamy Temple keeps its ancient enigmas buried within it, and it is one of the most heavily guarded and monitored places on the planet. Here heavily armed guards and state of the art surveillance equipment keep watch on it and the other vaults, although despite this it is estimated that millions of dollars’ worth of treasure has “disappeared” from here since it was made known to the outside world, and it is even believed that Vault B may have very well been raided in past eras through some as yet undiscovered subterranean tunnel. What will happen if this ancient place is ever opened? Will we find treasure beyond our wildest dreams, or curses, cataclysm, and black magic? Can it even be opened at all by any means we possess? We may never know.

Man infiltrates Solar Observatory and finds X-files Unrestricted Access DVD in a building!

Follow up on our articles: 

• What’s going on? National Solar Observatory in New Mexico evacuated for 'safety reasons' and 
• 6 More Solar Observatories closed and This could be the reason!

Mystery continues to surround the sudden shutdown last week of the national Sunspot Solar Observatory in New Mexico, and has remained closed since without explanation.

The observatory, nearby “White Sands Missile Range”, built by the U.S. military in 1947 has been involved in solar research since that time, when it realized the sun could interfere with radio communications.

Since authorities are tight-lipped, people are starting to carry out research on their own.

One man has filmed the Solar Observatory with its drone, see video here, but another man has infiltrated the restricted area and has filmed it all.

The video is outright eerie, but the most bizarre moment, albeit in a coincidental way, is when he spots an X-Files Unrestricted Access DVD laying out prominently in one of the buildings.

The man who found the X-files Unrestricted Access DVD said that there was a weird smell inside the building.

He also talked to other people outside the gate who said that every single house is empty and nothing has cleaned up, they moved out very quickly.

Why do astronomers have such a DVD in their possession and later on to put the dvd for the video game X-files Unrestricted Access in the trash just inside of a locked door at the abandoned Sunspot Solar Observatory is very suspicious or it must be that they deliberately have placed the dvd in plain sight for a reason.

It is just speculation but the X-files Unrestricted Access DVD could be a hint that they accidentally have transmitted signals to aliens and got a response? Did they have received signals or messages from an extraterrestrial race or eventual astronomers with ‘unrestricted access’ already had contact with aliens in our solar system or near the sun and something went wrong?

We continue to follow this mystery.

Throughout human history there have been those mysterious books, artifacts and relics said to hold some sort of vast powers or mystical knowledge. History is steeped in such tales, and there have been many who have spent their whole lives trying to find these lost artifacts. One such item that has managed to elude clear understanding is an ancient text etched upon stone, which would go on to become one of the most influential manuscripts on the practice of alchemy and a basis for much occult knowledge, but which remains buried in the mists of time. It is an item of alleged great power, holding secrets of magic, alchemy, the human mind, and possibly even the universe itself.

One of the cornerstones of early alchemy was a mysterious tablet said to contain a vast trove of secrets of magic and the universe and which would go on to become one of the most revered and sought after pieces of magical documentation in all of Western Occultism. Referred to variously as the Smaragdine Table, Tabula Smaragdina, or more commonly simply the Emerald Tablet, this elusive object is said to be one or even a series of rectangular green plaques, onto which are etched various symbols and inscriptions that spell out all manner of magical knowledge, in particular having to do with alchemy and the transmutation of matter from one form to another, as well as the method for creating the legendary Philosopher’s Stone and for manipulating the very matter of the universe itself. It is even said to hold the secrets to transforming one’s own consciousness and attaining a sort of enhanced conscious state and enlightenment.

While the appearance and the secrets contained within are mostly agreed upon, the tablet has a murky history wreathed in the unknown, which has obfuscated its true origins and author. The most commonly cited version has it that the tablet was originally written by the father of Hermetic magic and alchemy himself, the legendary 5th century philosopher and priest Hermes Trismegistus, back in ancient Greece. Hermes supposedly wrote the Hermetic Corpus, a series of sacred texts that are the basis of Hermeticism, and the Emerald Tablet is said to have been his masterpiece. Other myriad theories include that the tablet was written by the son of the biblical Adam and Eve, Seth, that it was discovered clutched in the priest’s dead hands in a tomb under the statue of Hermes in Tyan in the 8th century by an Arabic mage named Balinas, that it was unearthed by Alexander that Great in an Egyptian tomb, or even that it was created by Thoth, the king priest of Atlantis a full 38,000 years ago.

Whatever the case may be, legends flock to and surround the tablet and where it went off to. One common tale is that it was buried under the Pyramids in Egypt, while others claim it was sequestered away within the Ark of the Covenant or that is was returned to the buried ruins of Atlantis. With so many legends and myths spiraling about the Emerald Tablet, it is hard to say who wrote it or when, or where it is now. What is known is that it was first translated into Latin by Hugo von Santalla in the 12th century, and that at least in this version Hermes Trismegistus is credited as the author. It is also known that the alleged writings upon it were highly influential in alchemy at the time, and this makes it all the more curious that no evidence of the actual physical existence of the lost tablet has ever been uncovered. We only know of it from written accounts and various translations, and some of these were from highly influential people, including Roger Bacon, Michael Maier, Aleister Crowley, Albertus Magnus, Eric John Holmyard, Julius Ruska, and Carl Jung, who claimed to have been visited by the tablet in his dreams.

A reconstruction of what the Emerald Tablet might look like.

None of these translations is exactly the same and may or may not be based on what was actually written on the physical tablet, and further complicating matters is the fact that interpretations of what is written vary from writer to writer. Perhaps the most well-known and intriguing of the various translations and commentaries on the Emerald Tablet was penned by none other than the English scientist, mathematician, astronomer, theologian, and philosopher Sir Isaac Newton, who actually wrote a surprising amount of work on the subject of alchemy. Newton allegedly spent much time working with the text of the tablet, and managed to produce one of the more famous translated sections, which reads:

Tis true without lying, certain and most true.

That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracles of one only thing

And as all things have been and arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.

The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse.

The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.

Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.

Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry.

It ascends from the earth to the heaven and again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things superior and inferior.

By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.

Its force is above all force. For it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.

So was the world created.

From this are and do come admirable adaptations whereof the means (or process) is here in this. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world

That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and ended.

The meaning seems very open to interpretation, but Newton purportedly was very impressed by the knowledge and processes written of on the tablet, and it has been postulated that it could have even had an influence on his theories of the laws of motion and universal gravitation. He is also said to have believed that the tablet contained the literal recipe for creating the legendary Philosopher’s Stone, and that if one could comprehend the text and its intricate, arcane messages and geometrical patterns then they would acquire the ability to fashion the stone. Newton was by many accounts actually quite obsessed with the Philosopher’s Stone, writing much about it, and he believed the Emerald Tablet was the key. He also supposedly found within the text all manner of alchemical secrets, which he believed to be not merely symbolic, but that these were literal processes that could be carried out and performed in a laboratory setting. He would write of the tablet:

I am a skeptic by nature but I have no alternative than to offer subjective support to the claim that the Emerald Tablet has transformative properties. There are other things besides the transmutation of metals which none but they understand.

Isaac Newton

Did Newton gain any secrets from the tablet and did it indeed influence his work? No one really knows. It is all very intriguing, but in the end there is no certainty that any of those who have translated the tablet ever even saw the actual tablet themselves. It seems more likely that they worked with alleged transcripts of the original tablet, and that there is a very good chance that much of the information was changed or corrupted over time and through subsequent translations throughout history. There is also the possibility that this seemingly almost mythical tablet may have never even existed at all, that this is all merely a legend that has taken on a life of its own. Considering all of the conflicting and often confusing information on the Emerald Tablet, as well as the uncertainty over who actually supposedly wrote it or where it came from, we are left with very little that is concrete, and cannot adequately unravel the myth from any possible reality.

We are in the end left with many questions and few answers. Was there ever this mystical Emerald tablet upon which were emblazoned profound secrets of the universe? How did this come to be such a foundation for alchemy throughout history? Who wrote this and where did it go to? What exactly did it contain, and was it literal methods of alchemy and magic or merely symbolic? Did any of it actually work and if so, how? Did the tablet ever even exist at all? The possible answers to this historical enigma are varied, but we will likely not know until that mysterious green tablet is finally found, buried out there somewhere and lost to time.

Major-General Wilfred de Brouwer and UFOs

General de Brouwer states, “In any case, the Air Force has arrived to the conclusion that  a certain number of anomalous phenomena has been produced  within Belgian airspace. The numerous testimonies of ground  observations compiled in this [SOBEPS] book, reinforced by  the reports of the night of March 30-31 [1990], have led us  to face the hypothesis that a certain number of unauthorized aerial activities have taken place. Until now, not a single trace of aggressiveness has been signaled; military or civilian air traffic has not been perturbed nor threatened.  We can therefore advance that the presumed activities do not  constitute a direct menace. The day will come undoubtedly when the phenomenon will be observed with technological means of detection and collection  that won’t leave a single doubt about its origin. This should lift a part of the veil that has covered the mystery for a  long time. A mystery that continues to the present. But it  exists, it is real, and that in itself is an important  conclusion.  Major-General Wilfred de Brouwer, Deputy Chief, Royal Belgian  Air Force, “Postface” in SOBEPS’ Vague d’OVNI sur la Belgique – Un Dossier Exceptionnel, Brussels: SOBEPS, 1991.

Major General Wilfried De Brouwer headed the Operations Division in the Belgian Air Staff and helped investigate a rash of sightings over Belgium in 1989. For two years hundreds of people in Belgium saw a triangular craft of hundred and twenty feet on each if three sides. Usually its brilliant beaming spotlights were spotted.” The triangle flew slowly above the Belgian countryside and was spotted by police and military personnel as well as by the public. It made no noise but could accelerate instantly and easily outrun the fastest fighter aircraft. Belgium’s defense minister, Guy Coeme, asked De Brouwer to handle the sightings personally and visual and radar sightings proved unbelievable maneuverability and speed far in advance of any known aircraft. The triangle was invading Belgian airspace despite NATO cooperation. De Brouwer interviewed hundreds of eyewitnesses including high ranking military officers. The US, UK, France and Germany all denied that the craft was theirs. Thirteen different police officers spotted and chased the craft with rectangular windows and a dome on the top.

 President Clinton’s UFO Warnings

Charlie Quinn writes, “I think that Bill Clinton tried to gradually sensitize the American people to the evident reality of penetration of our air space by UFOs and the clear and present danger that they represent.”

Documents released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal the deep involvement of Mrs. Clinton in the Rockefeller Initiative to try to force the White House to release an alleged stash of confidential files on UFO and alien sightings and research across all departments.

Yesterday, Express.co.uk told how the Clintons had refused to discuss their respective roles in the failed bid to ensure the release of such files 21 years ago.

Their involvement came after a briefing on the disclosure movement from the late billionaire philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller at his extensive ranch in August 1995.

Today, in the second part of our investigation, we reveal how the powerful businessman’s bid to get the truth out there seemingly pitted the controversial husband and wife against each other, with the latter helping Rockefeller with drafts of the letter.

Further confirmation of that fact can be gleaned from the motion picture “Contact”. In that movie, which clearly tended to ESTABLISH alien contact with human beings, Clinton allowed videotapes of himself to be used in the context of the movie.  While there was an official declaration that the President did not endorse the theme of the movie, he is shown in one film clip saying… “Yes, this is true. It is a fact”.

Jodie Foster in Contact

Webb Hubbell , in his book, stated that Clinton, as President, assigned him to find out as much as possible about the existence of UFOs and Hubbell, as we know, remains a loyal supporter of  Clinton and  friend.  Is all of this just coincidence? I think not. In his book, “The Day after Roswell”, Colonel Corso stated, “Clearly that S.D.I- the so-called Star Wars program was developed to provide a shield of protection , not against Russian aggression, but against the aggression of alien cultures.” It has been successful in shooting down some UFOs. I also believe that the Egyptian air crash was due to a complete power failure while in flight – a power failure that could – – – I emphasize the word “could”– be explained by interference caused by UFOs. Thanks to Charlie Quinn

Hillary and Bill Clinton pictured separately with Laurence Rockefeller at his ranch in August 1995

The buzz is noises from the camp of presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton amid claims she will force “UFO disclosure” if she makes it to the White House. The disclosure movement seeks release of ALL top-secret and confidential files held by US authorities on anything to do with aliens and UFOs. Conspiracy theorists and Ufologists claimed various governments have evidence of alien visitations which have been withheld from the public amid fears over potential impacts on religion, science and the rule of law.

Bill and Hillary have long intrigued the movement after making little publicized moves in the 1990s to bring about disclosure after meeting with Laurence Rockefeller. Things really heated up in January when Mrs. Clinton said she wanted to open up on what is happening at the mysterious Area 51 military base in Nevada, where UFO conspiracists believe evidence of alien technology is hidden away.

Responding to questions about UFOs during an interview in New Hampshire, she said: “I am going to get to the bottom of it.” Thanks to Paradigm Research Group. Washington (CNN)There has long been an air of conspiracy surrounding theories of alien life, and the head of Hillary Clinton’s campaign said Thursday, “It’s time to do away with the secrecy. On May 16, 2016, 2016, Hillary Clinton promised if elected she would investigate the alien phenomenon. Could this be the actual reason she lost the election?

John Podesta says UFO Are Real

John Podesta John David Podesta Jr.(born January 8, 1949) is an American consultant who served as White House Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton from October 20, 1998 until January 20, 2001 and as Counselor to President Barack Obama from January 1, 2014 until February 13, 2015. Before that he served as the White House Staff Secretary and White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations for the Clinton Administration between January 20, 1993 until October 20, 1998.

He is the former president, and now Chair and Counselor, of the Center for American Progress(CAP), a think tank in Washington, D.C was chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.^[1][2]Additionally, he was a co-chairman of the Obama-Biden Transition Project.

CNN’s Jake Tapper pulled aside Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, who was a guest on “The Lead,” to talk aliens. “The U.S. government could do a much better job in answering the quite legitimate questions that people have about what’s going on with unidentified aerial phenomena,” Podesta said.

Podesta has made his interest in the possibility of alien life and conspiratorial leanings toward Area 51 well known. During his time serving in the Obama administration, Podesta tweeted, “Finally, my biggest failure of 2014: Once again not securing the #disclosure of the UFO files. #thetruthisstilloutthere cc: @NYTimesDowd and Wikipedia.”

Mars Town and Writing

Norman Bryden writes, “Images show a probable travel system laid out on Mars as a grid, with buildings located within the matrix.

Some of the light-colored road-like structures appear as two lanes of traffic separated by dividers. Bridges and underpasses are present.

There may also be vegetation growing in the photo. The dark areas suggest a large

group of trees or large plants.

Z AEgO L     CL

Many places on Mars have large signs that can be seen from space while ground level rocks frequently contain what appears to be an alphabet similar to English letters. The modern English alphabetis a Latin alphabet consisting of 26 letters, each having an uppercase and a lowercase form: The same letters constitute the ISO basic Latin alphabet. The Latin script, was introduced by Christian missionaries into England that began to replace the Anglo-Saxon futhorc from about the 7th century. In the year 1011, a monk named Byrhtferð recorded the traditional order of the Old English alphabet. He listed the 24 letters of the Latin alphabet first (including ampersand), then 5 additional English letters, starting with the Tironian note ond (⁊), an insular symbol for and: A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R S T V X Y Z & ⁊ Ƿ Þ Ð Æ.

It is generally believed that the Romansadopted the Cumae alphabet, a variant of the Greek alphabet, in the 7th century BC from Cumae, a Greek colony in Southern Italy.

It seems logical that Martian lettering is much older than English,: tin pr Greek and suggest Martian writing was transferred to Earth. The similarity of the letters appears to be more than a coincidence. There is speculation Martians brought writing from Mars to Earth thousands of years ago possibly after a disaster on Mars. Gravity on Mars is only one third 0.375 that of Earth and less than half the speed is needed to blast off from Mars than from Earth…

Cosmonaut Victor Afanasyev Sees UFO in Orbit

Victor writes, “It followed us during half of our orbit. We observed it on the light side, and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely.

It was an engineered structure, made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner hulls.

The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. Some places had projections like small wings.

The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it, and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away.“Cosmonaut Afanasyev commented on sightings of an alien UFO sighting that occurred while traveling to the Solyut 6 space station, April of 1979.

 Ohio Telepathic Contact

WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB – De, Bob, Kay Allen, Cyndie LePori, and Sandi Duffy were in the car driving to see the Serpent Mound in southern Ohio. We were driving on the peripheral road around Wright-Patterson AFB, and Bob was telling us about working and retiring from W-P AFB.  All of a sudden, clear as day, Cyndie, Kay, and Sandi received an unexpected telepathic communication from an ET that is on the base in an underground bunker behind the Air Force Museum runway. The ET was very excited for he knew we could communicate and visualize him. Someone in the car suggested we ask questions from the alien

We asked his name.  First we got Kay said it sounded like Alvin.  We asked again and got Kelvin.  We finally settled on Elfin, because he said he was a little like an elf and he liked the comparison. We asked if he was okay.  He said, ‘yes’ that he was not being held without his consent.  He had the ability to leave at any time, but that he stays to up-grade the vibrational energies of those he comes in contact there.  He said, “He was doing well and was having fun with everyone”.  We got the distinct impression that everyone who comes into contact with him gets a rather large dose of ‘unconditional love’ and instantly falls in love with him.

He is small, with human characteristics; his eyes are a little larger and have a greater function than ours.  His head is slightly larger, too, but not overly large.  He doesn’t have much hair on his body like we do and he’s not quite as ‘pink’ skinned as we are, a little more ‘green-grey’ but not like the ‘grays’. The difference is similar to being ‘olive’ rather than being ‘light’ skin tone.  He’s much more ‘olive’ than we are as depicted in artist’s rendition… We did not asked how he got there or from which crash.  We just knew he had been there for many years—the feeling was at least 50 and that he had not aged much, only the humans around him have aged.  He had been injured, initially, but healed easily.  They had done some test on him in the early years, but now, they mostly watch him to make sure his health is stable & good—which it is.

We asked him about how he could leave if he wanted to and we got a visual that a ship would come over head and he would be transported up thru a light beam, but that he was not concerned about staying—he is being ‘in service’ by interacting with those around him.  It is easy to remote view him, he is quite happy to have the visit. On our return trip by the base later that evening, he bid us ‘hello’ once again.  We told him about our increditable day and he sent us a ‘wave of unconditional love’ for sharing with him.  We all felt it and were lulled into silence of appreciation.

It is with his permission that I tell you these things.  He said, “He would like disclosure because he says that secrets do not serve the greater good of all.

In conclusion, I’m sure that all this can be easily substantiated by any remote viewer and welcomed for interacting with him.  Elfin is more than willing to communicate, all you need to do is ask! It was great meeting you at the IUFOC. Joyfully, Sandi

Frozen Aircraft Shock’

Greenland

Dr. Hovind writes  “Aircraft have been found buried in ice in Greenland that are  more than 3,000 years old according to the ice melting rings . You’re kidding!” laughed the lab worker quipped Kent. “! In case you don’t know, I work at the Denver National Ice Core Laboratory here in Colorado. And we’ve been taking cores of ice from Greenland and Antarctica. It’s dry… very cold… the glaciers are MILES THICK… but their annual growth rings are very THIN.” “We’ve measured the ice… and I tell you, man, it’s 135,000 years old! Your 4,000 years is a joke.” “I’d like to see your lab,” said Kent, calmly. The next day my friend Kent met the worker at the lab. The employee ushered him into the giant freezer which stored the long cores from ice drilling. “See this core from Greenland?” said the worker. “We  drilled down and brought it up from 10,000 feet. See the rings? This core takes us back 135,000 years. You’ll notice the rings along its length… dark – light – dark – light.“Well, these represent annual rings, because in summer the top layer of snow melts and then re-freezes as clear ice, which shows up dark here. In winter, the snow doesn’t get a chance to melt, so it packs – and shows up as a white layer. These layers of dark – light – dark – light, indicate 135,000 summers and winters.”

Dr. Hovind looked him in the eye. “Aren’t you assuming those are annual rings?” Let’s step back a few years… to the famous lost squadron.

THE LOST SQUADRON

In 1942, during World War II, some war planes landed in Greenland. When the war ended, those planes were left there and forgotten. In 1990, an aircraft enthusiast came up with the bright idea to find them and fly them off again. He organized a group and they went searching. As it turned out, they had to use radar, because the planes were under the ice… in fact, so deep under the ice, the men had a hard job finding them. Do you know, that lost squadron had got covered by 263 feet of ice in 48 years!

Let’s do some arithmetic.  * 263 feet divided by 48 years… that’s an ice growth  of about 5.5 feet per year. Now divide 10,000 feet by 5.5. And you get 1,824 years for ALL of the ice to build up. We should allow longer for the fact that the deeper
ice is pressed into finer layers. Note: those planes did not sink into the ice, due to pressure on the ice. The ice had grown OVER them.

ARE THESE ANCIENT AIRCRAFT IN ICE?

P-38 Lightning Aircraft

Okay, would you do some math? Can you work this out,?  The Denver National Ice Core Laboratory said that 10,000 feet of ice had to be 135,000 years old! So the 263 feet deep of “Lost Squadron” ice – how old should that be? That’s right… 3,419 years old. Does that mean those aircraft are 3,419 years old?
What do you think?

HERE COMES THE SEQUEL

In April, 1999, Kent visited Bob Cardin at his museum in Middleboro, Kentucky.  Cardin had dug out and was restoring the P-38. You may be wondering, how did they get that plane out? Ingenious. They had melted a hole down to the airplane, broken it apart and brought up the pieces through the hole.“When you dug it out,” asked Kent, “did you see any layers of ice… dark – light – dark – “Yeah, I did, as a matter of fact.”“How many layers of ice were there?”“Many hundreds of them.”HUNDREDS OF RINGS IN 48 YEARS? “How could there be many hundreds of annual rings
in only 48 years?”“THOSE ARE NOT ANNUAL RINGS. That’s not summer and winter,” replied Cardin.  “ It’s warm – cold – warm – cold – warm –cold. You can get ten of those in one day.”And that’s a fact!

Yet, the scientific elite was still calling them annual rings. Somebody’s either is ignorant… or lying.

I’m worried. The textbooks you read today are textbooks not only about science, but about evolution. They’re trying to sneak evolution in with the science. Sneaking beer ads in with football matches doesn’t mean beer is football. Sneaking evolution in with the science doesn’t make it science.

Archaeology Newsflash No. 560b

Radiocarbon dating involves determining the age of an ancient fossil or specimen by measuring its carbon–14 content. Carbon–14, or radiocarbon, is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope that forms when cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere strike nitrogen molecules, which then oxidize to become carbon dioxide. Radiocarbon dating methods are frequently used in determining the ages of ancient artifacts and fossils. These methods invariably give a great age for the ancient item in question. Radiocarbon dating is based on the fact that carbon-14 (an isotope of the extremely common element carbon) decays into another carbon isotope, carbon-12, at an exact rate. By measuring the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12, experts can determine the age of something that dates from ancient times.

However, according to the journal Science News, “The older an artifact is, the less certain scientists can be about its age” (Barry 2007: 344). Chris Turney of the University of Exeter in England similarly noted: “With radiocarbon, it’s not possible to obtain absolute dates—there’s always a bit of an unknown” (ibid).

One of the biggest factors in throwing off carbon dates is the fact that nuclear testing, which began around 1950, “blasted out radiation [into the atmosphere] that scientists see clearly as a spike in the radiocarbon record” (ibid.). Most problematic in absorbing this spike in radiation has been charcoal, which scientists use frequently in their dating of ancient finds. To rectify this, Michael Bird of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland created ABOX, a specialized cleaning protocol that rids archaeological samples of nearly all modern nuclear contamination.

According to Richard Gillespie of the Australian National University (the institution at which Prof. Bird first created his technique), “ABOX showed some dates are seriously wrong” (ibid.). Referring to the fact that many Australian fossils were re-dated under the ABOX technique, Gillespie commented, “Something like a hundred dates were wrong and we ended up chucking them all out. Some of the dates were 10,000 years out” (ibid.).

Jeff Pigati of the U.S. Geological Survey has improved on the ABOX method. His system is, in his own words, “especially important for very old samples. Even very small amounts of modern contamination can be fatal for old samples” (ibid., 345).

There is another problem with carbon dating, one that goes beyond adjusting for the increased presence of radiation post-1950. This fact was suspected by no less than Willard Libby, the Nobel Prize-winning inventor of carbon dating, as Science News reported:

Even in the early days, Libby suspected that the carbon-12 to carbon-14 ratio had not remained constant through time. Work on solar cycles and the Earth’s magnetic field proved him right. Both phenomena are known to influence radiocarbon amounts by altering the level of cosmic radiation entering the atmosphere (ibid.).

The uncertainties surrounding science’s most popular dating method underscores how cautious scientists must be before setting in stone any date for an artifact or fossil. In the words of Prof. Gillespie, “Although 26,000 [years ago, according to modern dating assumptions] is pretty well nailed down now, there’s a sort of best guess for what comes after that” (ibid.). Until an infallible dating method is discovered, the dates of ancient discoveries will remain dubitable and controversial.

Filer’s Files #36 – 2018 – UFOs Are Real - PART II

UFO Sightings in the United States

Arizona Light

San Tan Valley — Was video recording a storm and saw a streak go past the clouds on September 2, 2018.

I was filming and later went through the video frame by frame on IPhone and see a long cylinder shaped figure dart past the clouds in 1-2 seconds. Frame 31 seconds to 32 seconds in the video.  Thanks to MUFON CMS

California Object

Los Angeles — I was in my backyard building a wooden bench when I looked to my right and immediately saw a white balloon like orb floating in the sky. I initially thought it was a balloon but it was at a good distance away and would have to have been a very large balloon. Because of the size I took my phone out and started to film. It remains somewhat stationary in the sky for a few minutes and then starts to move in a southwestern direction toward the sun. My neck was getting sore from filming because it was there for so long. In some of the video it appears that an emission comes from the bottom of it as it starts to move like a small thruster. My camera and I are moving so much that it’s hard to tell how direct of a path the object is flying.. It became harder to see as it flew toward the sun and I eventually lost it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Colorado Light

Denver–- On August 18th, 2018, I was on an airplane flying from North Carolina to Los Angeles. When we were passing Denver, Colorado I saw a thunderstorm a couple of miles away directly in front of my window. I pulled out my phone to take a video of the lightning because I thought it looked pretty cool from how high up we were. While I was filming, I noticed a flashing red and white light flying. It was flying the opposite direction in straight line of the plane I was in. The object started to descend and stopped blinking for a second, and then when it started blinking again, it climbed and kept flying away. It looked almost like a drone, but because of our 30,000 feet altitude  there is no way it was a drone. It moved to quickly to be a plane.

Note: I believe that the witness may have seen a distant aircraft which was passing in the opposite direction. The apparent abrupt change in altitude and the reversal of direction could have been due to movement of the cell phone camera. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Http://www.UFOsnw.com

Kentucky Triangle

Monticello — I was outside on September 1, 2018, and the UFO photo was taken at 5:07 PM. A storm was coming in very slowly from the south west form Albany Ky. I thought I’d try take some picture of the sky and captured a triangle or V shaped UFO.
I captured it when I took the pictures. It have been moving very fast for the picture was only 1 to 2 seconds apart. It seem black and has a white glow around it in the photo. Maybe it way of shielding its self or anti gravity propulsion? Photos were taken with a ZTE N817 phone sorry for the pixels. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Maryland Light

Baltimore     Not much to say since I never observed the object it wasn’t until I reviewed my pictures.  I saw the glow on the right side of the picture on the outdoor event on September 1,/2018 from 20:00 – 21:00 hours on Pier 5 across from MECU Pavilion.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Massachusetts Disc

South Chatham –My wife and I were down at Forest Beach on September 3, 2018, when off in the distance we saw an orb rising to the level of the star. Then it started to proceed towards us in a north easterly direction and it literally went right over our heads spinning and doing weird shapes. It was flashing different lighted designs around the circumference of the object etc. etc. I shot some video on my iPhone that shows basically what we saw. It looked much more intense. …. On June 11 of this year my wife and I had a major citing here in Cape Cod. We saw between 11 and 22 UFOs in the sky at the same time. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Michigan Lights

Manistee — Going to restaurant to take out and noticed the bright light in the SE sky. Thought it was a star but the brightest star was smaller and just white. This object glowed yellow/orange and moved slow. Took pictures and starred at it over an hour. Call wife out and she saw it too.

Photo was taken on August 31, 2018. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Nebraska Disc

 Lincoln — I took a photo of sky because it was going to rain. I did not see object in photo personally until I looked at photos on my phone. Taken from inside a vehicle.

Photo was taken on September 2. 2018.

+Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Jersey Cigar

Sandy Hook — On Labor Day 2018, I had just arrived to the beach on the Jersey Shore when I  laid down to get some sun around 3 pm. Almost immediately, I noticed an object of unknown size at an altitude between 70,000 and 140,000 feet 2 to 4 times larger than a typical commercial airliner. The sky was mostly clear The object was parallel to the shoreline and shaped like a slender cigar. When I first laid eyes on it the object vacillated from white to platinum-silver on the edge of the cloud, effectively removing itself from camouflage. This color-change action is what allowed it to be plainly visible to me, in effective giving up it cloud-white camouflage. It moved at the pace of satellite and then continued to change colors from platinum-silver to blue and red to invisible to white and so on repeatedly. The object moved from the north to the east, then stopped. It moved back about 10% toward its original position toward north, then stopped again. It was among the most beautiful sights I have ever seen and the color and lights that is exuded were unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. After staring for over a minute, all the while it vacillating between invisibility and it’s 4 colors, I began to perceive a circular aura about the object and sense in some way that it was trying to communicate. I turned to my friend to ask if he could see it too which he affirmed. Neither of us saw anything like it before.

I turned to some strangers a few feet away one screamed, “Oh my God! What the @& is that?!” Thanks to MUFON CMS

New Mexico Orb

Deming — My husband gets home from work on September 4, 2018. He kissed us hello and I said lets go feed the ducks. We headed outside at 6:30pm and my husband and I immediately saw this huge “star” hovering above the setting sun. We are always looking at the sky, my husband is a flight director at the Deming Blimp site. Mars is the first one in the sky and it appears over the Florida Mountains. This “star” was the opposite direction over the setting sun. I grabbed our camera because phone cameras can’t pick up stars well. My husband and I called our neighbors and they went outside and saw it as well. We watched it for 40 minutes. During that time it never moved with the earth and never blinked like a star, just shown like a spotlight. It did however change from a circle to a guitar pick shape. Another bright light appeared above and to the left of the original light and moved straight down toward earth and disappeared. Then 3 lights appeared around the original light and moved straight down and disappeared. The original light seamed to join them at this point and moved down and disappeared but it shrank to disappear. The orb came back about 8:30 pm with another light hovering to its left for 10 minutes and then disappeared.

Thanks to MUFON CMS

Texas Triangle

El Paso — I was on my way to work the morning of August 31, 2018, at 6:25 in the morning. I stared at the sunrise as usual because I have to stop at a damn red light, right before I get on the freeway to work. I glanced to the right and saw a glowing triangle and thought it was weird. So I took several pictures and a short video with my Samsung Galaxy S8. It’s still new to me and noticed afterwards that the phone does an amazing thing automatically…..it stabilized the video on its own. Yes I did zoom in on the object and luckily it worked perfectly. Even if it’s explainable, it is an interesting video and pictures. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Washington D.C.

Film Photograph of UFO seen over US Capital midsummer, taken with disposable camera.

UFO Hovers over United States Capitol, Photo taken on July 1, 2018. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Canada Light

Thunder Bay — I was sitting beside my kitchen window and typing on my computer on August 23, 2018.
I had a funny feeling and turned my head towards the sleeping giant and witnessed the blue UFO hovering. The object looked blue and seemed to change form as if an electrical current was pulsating within. Well I was amazed and a little peeved my phone wouldn’t focus. Lost sight of it when it went south behind trees. Thanks to MUFON Thanks to MUFON CMS

France Triangle

Bobigny — I was going home, and I passed by a construction site and saw a triangular shape behind a building.
The top emitted a blue light, but no traces of propulsion or movement of air, or electro-magnetic phenomena (MHD or others).

It was a very slow flight, which seems impossible for a human vehicle with such a shape.

I was very surprised, compared to the planes I see coming and going from Le Bourget airport, that’s located not far away.

By the time I found the right setting, I just had time to film 5 seconds and it disappeared behind a housebreak on the right. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Italy Disc

Naples — May 8, 2018, first day of a weeklong tour: “Pompeii, Herculaneum and classical campania (Andante tour company). in the morning we were on our way from the hotel to the (Greek) temples site and museum at Paestum. I sat at the back of the bus. i stood up to take two pictures of the Bay of Naples as we passed by. i didn’t notice the object. There was a little stairwell to the rear bus exit. i sat in the same seat throughout the tour and never noticed a spot on the window: I’m sure if there had been, someone would have pointed it out. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Mexico Disc

Mexico City —  The event occurred in the morning of September 15, 2017″ stepping out of the tour bus, this was the first photo I took that day. I wanted to get the statue and church tower in the same frame. I don’t know if I noticed the object. Down lower to the right was a building one of the three tour guides said was located there since the time of Cortes. Behind me was a long park at the end of which is the Coyote Fountain. I was showing my album of pictures to the couple who own the shop where I get my photos processed, one said, “that looks like a ufo” she was the first to notice it. always before she said she wouldn’t believe in ufos unless she saw one.

UK Object

London — I was sunbathing on the bank of a pond in Bushy Park, Hampton, West London when I witnessed a strange round grey shape moving through a thin layer of white cloud above me travelling in a straight line. The best way to describe it would be a round grey shadow in the cloud, like a smudge. I watched the shadow move through the clouds but once clear I was unable to see it anymore. I’m not sure of the size or height but the object itself was pretty high up in the sky as I could see a commercial aircraft which appeared very small in the sky in comparison. The sky itself was pretty clear. I wondered if there was anything that could have cast the shadow up into the sky. The following day I returned to the same location where I witnessed 4 dark military helicopters travelling in the same direction as the shadow had. Between the military helicopters there was a single white and blue helicopter.
I believe the date was on or around the  25th June 2018 in the afternoon. Thanks to MUFON CMS

'Humans are ALIEN hybrids' Shock claim ancient astronauts 'engineered mankind'

HUMANS were genetically engineered by advanced aliens, according to a wild theory in a new book.

By Paul Harper 

Ancient astronauts travelled through a "wormhole" in the Pleiades star cluster but couldn't survive on Earth, it's claimed.

Extraterrestrials decided instead to "alter the genetic make up" of early human ancestors so they became more intelligent.

The proof is in the fusion of Chromosome-2 around 780,000 years ago based on the book Hybrid Humans written by Daniella Fenton.

Chromosone-2 is found in all large-brained humans, including Neanderthals and Denisovans, but no other primate species.

"The three species went on to become advanced humans with art, culture and increasingly complex technologies," said Mrs Fenton.

"The fusions site in on an active gene which expresses itself in brain structure, immunity and reproductive functions - important systems for upgrading to a new human species.

"Instead of a small number of humans having the fusion and a large group not having it, instead there was a rapid total replacement with all humans on Earth having 46 rather than 48 chromosomes, this tells us it gave enormous benefits to become so dominant.

"Approximately 800,000 years ago human brain size went into a sudden rapid increase in size and complexity which has long been a mystery to archaeologists."

DANIELLA FENTON

THEORY: Author Daniella Fenton said the DNA of humans changed dramatically due to alien science

She went on: "This was not the only change at this time and two very extraordinary changes are the sudden appearance of miR-941, which played a crucial role in human brain development.

"The gene is highly active in controlling decision-making and enabling language abilities and appeared suddenly formed out of junk DNA."

What Mrs Fenton claims are the "signature of aliens" is dramatic changes to a neocortex gene called ARHGAP11B – associated with sight and hearing in mammals.

The official explanation for Chromosome-2, the second largest in humans, does not involve aliens.

Researcher JW IJdo concluded Chromosome-2 "marks the point at which two ancestral ape chromosomes fused to give rise to human Chromosome-2."

DANIELLA FENTON

HYBRID HUMANS: The book claims aliens engineered mankind 780,000 years ago

“Approximately 800,000 years ago human brain size went into a sudden rapid increase in size and complexity which has long been a mystery to archaeologists.”

Daniella Fenton

The Australian author, who studied equine genetic and is a spirtualist and certified shaman, claims to have physical evidence to support the ancient alien theory.

Her husband Bruce is also a writer who worked on the research.

They researched a book called Alcheringa which promotes the theory an alien spaceship exploded in our atmosphere hundreds of thousands of years ago and the survivors, who couldn't survive without the mother ship, engineered Homo sapiens.

Mrs Fenton claims the melted wreckage of the crashed craft explains the mysterious Australites tektite buttons, unexplained dark glass objects thought to be ejected in meteorite impacts.

She claimed that geologists have dated the remains of a 1km sized melted object to around 780,000 years ago.

She added: "According to a NASA study the resulting liquid glass (containing around 80% silica from melted quartz crystal) formed spheres in space which then instantly froze and began to fall into our atmosphere.

"As they entered they heated and melted to form unique button shapes before landing right across Australasia.

"These Australite tektite buttons are unique in the 4.5 billion year history of our planet and remain a total mystery to science because they can’t understand how they formed."

The Hybrid Human theory also believes the alien astronauts arrived from the Pleiades star cluster, thought to contain several thousand stars.

It is among the nearest star cluster to Earth and the one which is most visible to the naked eye.

It is believed one planet could exist around the star HD 23514 due to the exceptional number of hot dust particles surrounding it.

Mrs Fenton points to how Pleiades has been referenced repeatedly by various cultures.

She said: "All around the world ancient cultures talk about ancestral beings from the Pleiades and portals that connect those stars with this planet, this includes mythology in Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, American Indians, ancient Egypt, Sumeria and Aboriginal Australia."

Amazing cave paintings by Apache Indians which date back thousands of years appear to show aliens and UFOs.

Wilfred Buck, a science educator of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation in Manitoba, Canada, said that Pleiades is our planet's connection to the cosmos.

"We originate from the stars, we are star people," Buck said.

"Once we finish doing what we come here to do, we go back up to those stars."

Another hugely controversial conspiracy theory, by a Dr Ellis Silver, has resurfaced online claiming the human race originated on another planet.

Painted rock points to higher cognitive function in humans 73,000 years ago

BY ALEXANDRU MICU

A painted rock shows that humans tried their hand at symbolism as early as 73,000 years ago, pointing to the roots of modern cognition patterns.

Image credits Christopher S. Henshilwood et al., 2018, Nature.

International researchers report discovering the oldest evidence of abstract drawing to date. The artifact in question is a fragment of polished rock painted with a crosshatch pattern of nine fine lines, unearthed from a 73,000-year-old archaeological stratum at the Blombos Cave in South Africa.

“Do you do portraits, too?”

It’s not easy determining symbolism from art when dealing with some of the earliest graphic productions humanity has ever created. The main difficulty lies in determining whether the splotches of pigment were applied deliberately or not. After intentionality is established, the next step is to determine whether the images you’re dealing with are doodles or storytelling crutches, or whether they held particular meaning.

Needless to say, across the huge divides of time and culture that separate us from our ancestors, both points can be very tricky to handle.

The oldest known sample of art we’ve found before now is the shell of a freshwater mussel engravedwith a zigzag pattern discovered in Tirnil, Java, in a 540,000-year-old archaeological layer. Decorated trinkets discovered in several archeological sites in Africa, likely used for personal adornment, have been dated to roughly 70,000 years ago.

Still, art does not necessarily a symbol make. A symbol is a mark, sign, or word that represents an idea, another object, or a relationship. While the main trait of art is beauty or its ability to encapsulate an emotional message, a symbol is, foremost, an abstraction. As such, accurately telling apart art and symbolism is very important for anthropology. Both art and symbols “are a prime indicator of modern cognition and behavior”, the team writes — the latter especially so, since abstraction requires that extra bit of intellectual brawn to handle.

Well, we have new evidence pointing to the roots of abstract thinking at least 30,000 years earlier than previously discovered works suggested.

Abstrart

The artifact, detailed by an international team that includes scientists from Norway, France, South Africa, and Switzerland, is a fragment of siliceous rock (silcrete) adorned with nine fine lines in a crosshatch pattern. It was found during excavations at the Blombos Cave, South Africa, in a 73,000-year-old archeological stratum. According to the team, the lines were drawn using an ocher (the iron ore from which the eponymous color is derived) pencil.

Determining whether the pattern was deliberately drawn fell primarily on the shoulders of the team’s French members, who have a background in the chemical analysis of pigments.

They started by trying to reproduce the lines through various techniques — an approach known as experimental or experiential archeology, as it relies on direct experience gained from experimentation — that were available to the people living around the cave at the time. These included whittling ocher fragments to a point or an edge to see which shape better recreates the lines, as well as applying watery solutions of ocher powder using brushes.

They then compared the lines against their ancient counterparts from a microscopic, chemical, and tribological (the science of friction and wear) standpoint. According to the team, the lines were intentionally drawn with a pointed ocher implement (akin to a pencil). As such, the pattern represents the earliest known abstract drawing to date.

With intentionality established, the next step was to decide whether the team was looking at a symbol or just pretty doodles. This step was surprisingly simple, however. Blombos Cave is the site of an ongoing excavation by teams from the University of Bergen (Norway) and the University of Witwatersrand (South Africa) that began in 1991. Over the years, many other objects with symbolic markings — including ocher fragments that feature very similar crosshatched engraving — were uncovered in the same archaeological stratum in which the present artwork was discovered.

The team writes that by using various techniques to produce similar patterns on different materials suggests that the marks serve a symbolic function.

The paper “An abstract drawing from the 73,000-year-old levels at Blombos Cave, South Africa” has been published in the journal Nature.

It’s been two weeks since the International Space Station’s crew repaired a small leak, but there are far more questions than answers.

On the evening of August 29, ground control operators in Houston and Moscow identified a pressure loss in the ISS, which cosmonauts and astronauts traced to a leak in the hull of the Russian Soyuz MS-09 capsule and repaired with a patch kit. The hole was quite small — about two millimeters in diameter — and didn’t pose a significant safety risk to the crew. Though it didn’t cause the space station to lose much air, it did raise eyebrows.

In the days since, Russian officials have entertained rumors of sabotage to the point that NASA and Russia’s space agency Roscosmos found it necessary to issue a joint statement on Thursday announcing plans for top administrators to meet face-to-face over the matter.

This is from the statement released by NASA on Thursday:

“NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and Roscosmos General Director Dmitry Rogozin met for the first time yesterday via teleconference to discuss the status of International Space Station (ISS) operations in response to a request from Roscosmos.”

As a result of this teleconference, Bridenstine and Rogozin agreed to an in-person meeting at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan sometime around October 10.

Bridenstine already has a visit to Russia and Kazakhstan planned for that time, as the Russian Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft is scheduled to launch from Baikonur Cosmodrome on October 11, when it will carry NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksey Ovchinin to the ISS.

And while the whole joint announcement may sound extremely diplomatic and collaborative, it is hard to ignore the darker subtext. The release alludes to rumors that have swirled since the leak was repaired. Initially attributed to a micrometeoroid impact, the hull leak has since been blamed on a power drill of some sort. It’s not clear whether the hole happened on Earth or in space.

“We want to find out the full name of who is at fault — and we will.”

“We are able to narrow down the cause to a technological mistake of a technician. We can see the mark where the drill bit slid along the surface of the hull,” Rogozin told RIA Novosti on September 3, as translated for Ars Technica. “We want to find out the full name of who is at fault — and we will.”

Again, it’s not clear whether this hole was made accidentally or intentionally, nor whether it was made in space or on the ground — where perhaps a patch was applied that later dried out and came loose in space, an event that has occurred on a previous Soyuz craft — but Rogozin’s resolve has resulted in the formation of a Roscosmos-led commission into the matter.

Since then, Russian news outlets have speculated on possible sabotage by NASA astronauts, suggesting that the astronauts sought to create an emergency situation in order to get a sick colleague back to Earth sooner.

According to Russian newspaper Kommersant, this version of events is being considered a top possibility. But Rogozin and Bridenstine’s announcement doesn’t hint at this tension, instead laying the bulk of the blame on media reports.

“The Administrator and the General Director noted speculations circulating in the media regarding the possible cause of the incident and agreed on deferring any preliminary conclusions and providing any explanations until the final investigation has been completed,” reads Thursday’s joint statement.

For his part, Rogozin has rejected the rumors.

“The recent gossip and rumors circulating about the incident at the ISS hinder the work of Roscosmos experts and are designed to subvert the friendly relations among the crew members of the space station,” he wrote on Facebook, reported state-owned Russian news outlet TASS on Wednesday. “All statements citing unnamed sources are inadmissible until Roscosmos special commission concludes its work,” he wrote, referring to the anonymous sources on which the news stories fueling the rumors have relied.

Despite this public caution and diplomacy, though, Ars Technica reports that Roscosmos sources have continued to leak inflammatory theories and accusations to the Russian press. Among these leaked accusations is the leading theory, as suggested by Kommersant, that NASA damaged the module in an attempt to force an emergency evacuation for an ill crew member. The logic behind this theory is that because it would require a joint evacuation of astronauts and cosmonauts, NASA could get the evacuation it wanted without having to pay the estimated $85 million for a new Soyuz pod.

Sources for Russian news outlets cited the scratch marks around the hole, which suggest that somebody was drilling in microgravity since it would be harder in that environment to get firm footing for a drill bit.

For its part, NASA crew aboard the ISS has vehemently denied the notion. In an interview with ABC News on Tuesday, station commander Drew Feustel said those claims are ridiculous.

“The crew had nothing to do with this on orbit.”

“I can unequivocally say that the crew had nothing to do with this on orbit, without a doubt, and I think it’s actually a shame and somewhat embarrassing that anybody is wasting any time talking about something that the crew was involved in,” Feustel said.

Needless to say, this whole thing has become a mess.

The Soyuz spacecraft is produced by Russian firm RKK Energia and is the only spacecraft model that currently carries humans between Earth and the International Space Station.

SpaceX, Boeing, and NASA are developing their own capsules. Just a month ago, NASA announced that it would test the Boeing-made CST-100 Starliner capsule in mid-2019 and it would test the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule in April 2019. The NASA/ESA-operated Orion spacecraft, which is being built by Lockheed Martin and Airbus and would carry four people to and from the ISS, is also in development. These new capsules would reduce or eliminate US dependence on Russia’s Soyuz capsule.

This he-said-she-said situation represents a rare lapse in the usually friendly relationship between US and Russian space programs, a relationship that has remained mostly cordial despite the icy diplomatic relations the countries are experiencing back on Earth. Regardless of how this mess shakes out, the US will soon be able to ferry astronauts to the ISS without Russia.

Solar observatory LOCKDOWN sparks claims alien life has been spotted as FBI investigate

A SOLAR observatory was evacuated and placed on lockdown by the FBI, sparking claims they may have stumbled across alien life.

By Callum Hoare 

Employees from the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, were told to leave as agents rushed to the research centre last Thursday.

The building remains on lockdown, surrounded with yellow tape, as no timeframe has been given to local police for it to re-open.

A post office nearby was also cleared out and employees have been transferred to another branch. 

And no one has given an explanation why. 

“Maybe one of the employees tried to mail out their finding”

YouTube viewer

"We have temporarily vacated this facility as a precautionary measure," a spokeswoman for the Association for Universities for Research in Astronomy said.

"We're working with the proper authorities on this issue."

But Tyler Glockner, who runs YouTube conspiracy channel secureteam10, thinks astronomers in the observatory spotted something the government did not like. 

He speculated, while taking images of the sun, they may have come across a secret military project or even extraterrestrial life. 

Tyler went on to add that the FBI would have been brought in to remove any evidence of this.

BIZARRE: The FBI placed the area on lockdown

His video has now racked up more than 300,000 hits in less than 24 hours. 

And viewers were quick to share their thoughts.

"They don't even close a school for this long after a shooting, something big has happened," one person claimed.

Another added: "Maybe one of the employees tried to mail out their findings."

And a third claimed: "Suspicious considering that NASA just launched a probe to go within 6million miles of the Sun to take images."

Mysterious observatory evacuation stirs alien conspiracy theories

The FBI showed up and evacuated the remote Sunspot solar observatory in southern New Mexico. Almost a week later, no one knows why.

Corners of the internet are atwitter about a possible alien coverup after reports that a Blackhawk helicopter and federal agents swooped in and inexplicably evacuated a remote part of New Mexico, including a prominent solar observatory. 

The Dunn Solar Telescope at the Sunspot solar observatory hides most of itself underground.

FBI agents showed up at the Sunspot solar observatory in tiny Sunspot, New Mexico, on Friday and shut down the facility, evacuating the local area, including the town post office. 

"There was a Blackhawk helicopter, a bunch of people around antennas and work crews on towers, but nobody would tell us anything," Otero County Sheriff Benny House told the Alamogordo Daily News. "I don't know why the FBI would get involved so quick and not tell us anything."

Five days later, the observatory's website confirms the entire facility is closed to both staff and the public until further notice. 

"The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) who manages the facility is addressing a security issue at this time," AURA spokesperson Shari Lifson said in an emailed statement. "It's a temporary evacuation of the facility. We will open it up as soon as possible."

The FBI field offices in Albuquerque and in El Paso, Texas, didn't respond to a request for comment. 

Meanwhile, in the vacuum created by the lack of an official explanation, plenty of people on YouTube and social media and in tabloid publications have stepped in to suggest their own.

Some say the evacuation could be part of a government effort to cover up a discovery involving aliens, an impending solar flare or something else extra-planetary. Others on Reddit and elsewhere think the security issue may involve a foreign power attempting to use the observatory's antennas to spy on nearby White Sands Missile Range. 

The observatory was built by the military in 1947 when it realized the sun could interfere with radio communications. The National Science Foundation ran the facility from the 1960s until this year, when operation was transferred to AURA and New Mexico State University. 

Hopefully it isn't now in the process of being unwillfully transferred to aliens or foreign spies. We shall see.

Thousands are embedding microchips under their skin to 'make their daily lives easier'

Thousands of Swedish people are having microchips embedded under their skin instead of using ID cards, key cards and even having to purchase train tickets.

3,000 Swedes Have Microchips Installed

It is estimated that 3,000 people have had a microchip installed in Sweden and the chip is smaller than a single grain of rice. The increase in people having chips installed under their skin has been on the increase over the last three years. The microchip technology was first used in Sweden in 2015.

Ulrika Celsing said that the microchip in her hand had helped her to replace the need to carry around many daily necessities. This includes her office key card and gym card. When the 28-year-old arrives at work, she simply has to wave her hand close to a small box and then enter a code, and the door opens.

Rail Line Scans Passengers Hands to Take Fares

SJ Rail Line, which is owned by the state, began to scan passengers hands with microchips to take their fare when they were onboard the train. It has been said that the chips could also be used to make purchases in much the same way as a contactless credit card, but up to now, no one has tested it.

The procedure to insert the microchip is much the same as having a piercing. The chip is inserted by syringe into the hand of the person. Celsing said that she had her chip installed during a work event and all she felt during the procedure was a slight sting. Ben Libberton, a microbiologist for the MAX IV laboratory in Sweden, said that the microchip implants might cause a reaction or infection in the immune system of the body.

Group Micro-chipping Is Becoming the In-thing

There is also the risk of biohacking, modification of bodies using technology. This is said to be on the increase as more people use technology such as Fitbit and Apple Watches. Bionyfiken, a biohacking group from Sweden, began organizing implant parties where people in groups had chips inserted en masse in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Mexico.

50 employees at a vending machine company in Wisconsin had microchips inserted into their hands, and they could use them to purchase snacks, log into their computers and use other office equipment.

The 10 million strong country has proven that Sweden is more willing to share their personal details. Details have been recorded by the social-security system of the country and are readily available. It was said that people could find out the salaries of other people by calling up the public tax authority. Many people in Sweden do not have the belief that the technology is at risk of being hacked. A microbiologist said that the data that is collected is and shared is limited, so there should be no fear of hacking.

The Body Might be the Next Big Platform for Technology

It has been estimated that the human body will become the next big platform for technology. All of the wearable technology of today will be implanted within the body within the next 5 to 10 years. No one wants to carry around a smartphone or smartwatch that is clumsy when they can have the same technology installed in their body.

NASA announces winners of competition to design 3D-printed habitat for Mars

NASA has selected the five winning designs in the latest stage of its 3D-printedHabitat competition, which include a community of modular pods made from the Martian surface, and a vertical egg-like container.

The On-Site Habitat Competition invited groups to design a sustainable shelter for a crew of four astronauts on a mission to Mars, using construction techniques enabled by 3D printing technology.

Teams had to come up with a solution that tackles the issues of transporting materials from Earth to Mars, as well as the differences in atmosphere and landscape on the new planet.

Each was required to create digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of a house on Mars using specialised software tools.

"We are thrilled to see the success of this diverse group of teams that have approached this competition in their own unique styles," said Monsi Roman, programme manager for NASA's series of Centennial Challenges.

"They are not just designing structures, they are designing habitats that will allow our space explorers to live and work on other planets. We are excited to see their designs come to life as the competition moves forward."

The top five teams were selected by NASA in partnership with Bradley University of Peoria, Illinois, out of 18 groups from around the globe. Ranked using a points system, they will all share part of a $100,000 prize depending on what score they achieved.

The winning Zopherus habitat is built from materials taken from the Martian surface

Arkansas-based team Zopherus was awarded first place with its modular habitat for humans on Mars, 3D-printed without human interference with materials made from the Martian surface.

In the concept, a lander would scan its surroundings and select an optimum print area, while autonomous robots are deployed from the vessel to gather materials for the 3D printer.

The lander seals to the ground to provide a protected, pressurised print environment, and then mixes materials, and begins to print the hexagonal structure.

Thanks to its hexagonal structure, multiple Zopherus habitats can be printed to stand close to one another, creating a community.

Each structure is built using a specialised composite Martian concrete material – made from ice, calcium oxide and Martian aggregate – which are collected by rovers and fed into the lander for mixing.

A large window on the mezzanine level of each habitat provides expansive views of the Martian landscape, as well as allowing light to nurture a small hydroponic garden for growth of vegetation and production of oxygen.

AI SpaceFactory's habitat boasts an egg-shaped design to deal with atmospheric pressure

AI SpaceFactory came in second place with its vertical, egg-shaped structure, which is designed with a double shell system to deal with the internal atmospheric pressure and structural stresses that would occur on Mars.

Like the Zopherus habitat, the Marsha design is made using materials harvested from the Martian surface, removing the dependency on rockets to transport materials from Earth.

The team developed an innovative mixture of basalt fibre, extracted from Martian rock, and renewable bioplastic (polylactic acid) derived from plants that would be grown on Mars.

Unlike the communal format of the Zopherus habitats, each Marsha habitat stands alone as a separate structure.

Kahn-Yates' design features a series of holes to allow daylight in

Third place team Kahn-Yates also designed its habitats as individual volumes, with sleek, oblong forms intended to minimise the impact from potential dust storms.

After the space-faring module arrives on Mars, its exterior shell would split off as it lands, leaving behind a pre-fabricated core. After landing, a five-axis print arm would extends from the top of the core and print a foundation using materials found on the Martian landscape.

The arm then prints a concrete shell, while secondary nozzles print HDPE (high-density polyethylene) layers on either side of the shell, effectively sandwiching the Martian concrete in the middle.

Daylight is allowed into the habitat by means of reducing or eliminating portions of the central concrete layer in the exterior shell makeup, to have just the HDPE layers as the skin. This would aid gardening and food production, according to the team.

SEArch+/Apis Cor's habitat features a double-shell structure to provide protection from solar radiation

In fourth place is SEArch+/Apis Cor, which submitted a habitat boasting a double-shell design to shelter the structure from galactic solar radiation. The habitat designed by the fifth-place team, Northwestern University, features a unique spherical shell and outer parabolic dome.

The On-Site Habitat Competition is the third phase in NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Centennial Challenge, which was created to explore construction technologies needed to create sustainable housing solutions on Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond.

Northwestern University designed a dome-shaped habitat with a unique entryway system

Phase one, the Design Competition, took place in 2015 and required teams to submit architectural renderings. Submissions included Foster + Partners' proposal for a 93-square-metre habitat printed from regolith, the loose soil and rocks found on the surface of the Red Planet.

Phase two, the Structural Member Competition, took place in 2016-2017 and focused on material technologies, asking teams to create structural components.

There are still four more phases of the challenge to follow, culminating in a head-to-head print of finalists' designs in early 2019.

Triangular UFO Caught On Video Moving In The Sky Over El Paso, Texas

A driver passing by El Paso, Texas recorded something strange in the sky of what appears to be a glowing triangular-shaped UFO. Ufologists are at a loss with the object moving completely silent.

The video shows the strange object moving at high speed in the sky. The UFO appears to be a glowing triangle with a bright backlight, flying without any sound. Some believe that it could be an extraterrestrial aircraft.

Many reports of triangle-shaped craft around the world but not often they are captured on any media. The capture of this type of flying craft surprised American researchers of extraterrestrial civilizations and the aliens.

As apparent aliens appear on the planet every year more often than before, they are also manifested more and more in a fantastic way. Some observers shared their thoughts about the video after analyzing and verifying its authenticity. They note that it was strange the car appeared to pace the UFO so well.

According to the videographer, he was driving to work and noticing a mysterious light in a triangular shape toward the horizon. He took his Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone out and snapped photos and a short video.

The incident reportedly took place on August 31, 2018, at 6:25 in the morning. He stared at the sunrise as usual because he had to stop a red light. Before he got on the freeway to work, he noticed the UFO to the right. He thought it was weird, so he took multiple pictures and a short video.

“Nieuwe boorsporen gevonden na lek in capsule aan ruimtestation ISS” - HLN.be

Bron: Belga, Tass

Op 30 augustus ontsnapte er even zuurstof uit het ISS omdat er een gaatje van 2 mm was in de wand van de Sojoez MS-09 die voor bemand transport naar en van de spacemeccano instaat. Het gat werd gedicht, de zes opvarenden waren en zijn niet in gevaar.

Moskou niet te spreken over insinuaties dat Amerikaanse astronauten lek in Sojoez veroorzaakten

De oorzaak van het geboorde gaatje, in een deel van de Sojoez dat niet naar de Aarde terugkeert, is nog steeds niet gekend, allerhande speculaties deden de ronde.

“Er zijn niet alleen binnen de leefruimte van het ruimtetuig sporen van boren gevonden, maar ook op het scherm van het schild, aan de buitenzijde, dat tegen meteorieten moet beschermen en dat zich 15 mm van de drukromp bevindt”, aldus de bron. Bij het boren is door de drukromp gegaan en is de niet-gasdichte wand geraakt, luidde het ook.

Assemblage

Een andere bron uit de ruimtevaartindustrie zegt dat de niet-gasdichte bescherming tegen meteorieten wordt aangebracht vóór de finale assemblage van de Sojoez. In die werkplaats is het ruimtetuig gedetailleerd gefotografeerd. Er zijn geen sporen van boren of een gaatje gevonden, het boren moet later hebben plaatsgevonden, zei de bron. Ook het meteorietenschild is vóór plaatsing gefotografeerd en daar was ook niets aan te zien.

Het ruimtetuig kan dus ofwel tijdens het allerlaatste assemblagewerk of tijdens zijn negentig dagen durend verblijf in de testruimte beschadigd zijn geraakt. Het is zeer onwaarschijnlijk dat dit tijdens het transport naar de lanceerbasis Bajkonoer of daar gebeurde.

Geen nieuwe lekken

Maar een ander staatspersbureau, Sputnik News, meldde op gezag van een eveneens niet nader genoemde bron uit de Russische raket- en ruimtevaartindustrie dat er geen nieuwe lekken zijn gevonden.

Een bron bij de commissie van raketbouwer Enes aargija, die het lek in de Sojoek onderzoekt, sprak tegenover Tass tegen dat nog meer schade aan de capsule is vastgesteld. “Sommige berichten in massamedia omtrent meer schade die op het ruimtetuig Sojoez MS-09 is gevonden stroken niet met de werkelijkheid”, luidde het bij het staatsbedrijf.

Oorzaak

De oorzaak van het gaatje is nog altijd niet gekend, maar allerhande speculaties doen intussen wel de ronde. Tot zelfs de insinuatie in de krant Kommersant dat een Amerikaanse opvarende van het ISS verantwoordelijk zou zijn, omdat die zo zijn terugkeer naar huis had willen versnellen.

“Het is absoluut ontoelaatbaar om een schaduw te werpen op zowel onze kosmonauten als de Amerikaanse astronauten”, zei vicepremier Borisov. “Er is een onderzoek aan de gang. Het is  verkeerd om een dergelijk verdict uit te spreken.”

Dat het drukverlies zich voordeed nadat het ruimtetuig al maanden in de ruimte was, is wel een “vaststaand feit”, voegde de politicus eraan toe. Het ISS is niettemin een plaats “waar geen politieke onmin is of mag zijn”. 

“Roddels”

Als hoofd van het Russische ruimtevaartbureau Roscosmos viel Dmitri Rogozin de vicepremier bij. De “roddels” ondermijnen de vriendschappelijke relaties onder de zeskoppige bemanning, die uit Amerikanen, Russen en een Duitser bestaat. De geruchten “hinderen” ook het werk van de deskundigen van Roscosmos, zo klinkt het. “Alle uitlatingen op gezag van niet nader genoemde bronnen zijn ontoelaatbaar zolang de speciale (onderzoeks)commissie van Roscosmos haar werk niet heeft afgerond”, aldus Rogozin.

Ancient Aliens: Area 52 is a bigger concern than Area 51

by Greg O'Shalae

Forget about Area 51. That’s old news. A joke. The newer, hipper secret facility is Area 52, and Ancient Aliens has the scoop.

Area 51 is so old and well known that it’s the butt of jokes on movies like Independence Day. People with dial-up know about Area 51. Virtually everyone knows of the “secret” facility. What if, however, as Ancient Aliens suggests, Area 51 were just a coverup for a bigger, experimental extraterrestrial facility?

To make the conspiracy even deeper, what if there were multiple Area 52 facilities? Is there a massive secondary covert operation being obscured by the now not-so-top-secret Area 51?

FanSided Entertainment - Daily Highlights

Area 51 is confirmed.

People who live near Area 51 have reported all sorts of oddities and extraterrestrial tech for decades. There’s no denying something is going on there. Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act, the CIA declassified documents that acknowledged Area 51 in 2013. Located in Southern Nevada, this top secret facility has been the location where revolutionary technology is developed. The military and government, however, have not provided much other than saying the facility is there. No word on the function of the facility.

Giorgio A. Tsoukalos went to meet with a former employee of Area 51 to get more information. According to TD Barnes, a radar and electronics employee for over four decades at Area 51, there is a considerable amount of evidence related to extraterrestrials. There is extensive reverse engineering of top secret craft, with everything from antimatter propulsion and warp drive on the agenda. At one point in the 1980s, they even developed an antiquated bunker-busting tech called “Rods from God.” For all intents and purposes, it was a secret space program.

Hiding decades of alien contact evidence, Area 51 may have outlived its purpose as a strategic military asset. If that’s the case, is it just a decoy?

Tsoukalos took another trip to Rachel, Nevada in 2018. He met with a researcher and a lifelong mining expert. The miner said he’s seen various shady activities, and believes heap mining is being used at Tempiute Mine to hide massive amounts of dirt being removed during the creation of underground facilities. Furthermore, that may be just the tip of the underground iceberg. It’s likely one of many secret government facilities connected by underground high speed trains including the following locations:

• Cheyenne mountains in Colorado Springs
• Dulce, NM – Archuleta Peak is where UFOs have been sighted
• Los Alamos, NM
• Albuquerque, NM
• Roswell, NM
• Area 51, NV

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

On the doorstep of where Orville and Wilbur Wright defied reality, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base serves as one of the most high techs locations in the military. Indeed, it may hold greater strategic importance than Area 51. Furthermore, there have been rumors of aliens at Wright-Pat for a long time, and some underground as well.

Going as far back as the 1947 Roswell crash, the location has been involved with news of UFOs. Wright-Patterson was the home of the Foreign Technology Division, which conducted Project Sign and Project Blue Book. The most famous UFO and foreign technology program, Project Blue Book tracked over 12,000 sightings. Most were categorized as high altitude air planes, but over 700 cases still remain.

Additionally, a former employee named LTC Marion Magruder worked at infamous Hangar 18, and saw quite a bit during his 38 years there. The first day he arrived in 1973 he was told there were aliens.

Montauk Air Force Station

Decommisioned in 1981, the Montauk Air Force Station is widely believed to be a cover for an underground facility. Multiple whistle-blowers say a secret facility under the base is still onging, and the entry is from far away at the Brookhaven National Laboratories. Furthermore, the facility is notorious for experiments using other-worldly technology and human test subjects in what’s commonly called the Montauk Project.

Declassified documents reference something called MKUltra, a program run by the Army and CIA to develop mind control and remote influence abilities. To that end, something called the Montauk Chair, harnessing ET technology & innate psychic abilities, was used to transform reality, to manifest thought into physical reality (telekinesis, remote viewing, teleportation). It’s compared to the Throne of Ptah, who was the god before all other gods in Egyptian mythology. Is the Montauk Chair the same as the Throne of Ptah?

Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program

AATIP and Bigelow Aerospace has been discussed before, and it’s compelling evidence. AATIP allows exception to FOIA requests, allowing the government to be even more covert. Combined with all of the aforementioned, it paints a picture of massive government cover-up.

• NEXT: Ancient Aliens - Desert Codes are alien proof

There you have it. Ancient Aliens proposes a massive government cover-up of alien technology, and it’s all being done under our feet. Do you believe there are secret facilities being obscured by the attention given to Area 51?

WAAROM IS DIT OBSERVATIECENTRUM  DOOR DE FBI GESLOTEN? ( VIDEO )

Hoe vaak komt het voor dat een observatorium van de ene op de andere dag wordt gesloten door de FBI? 

Dat is exact wat er vorige week gebeurde met het National Solar Observatory in de staat New Mexico en de FBI houdt de lippen stijf op elkaar. 

Een sterrenwacht of observatorium is een instituut van waaruit sterren en andere hemellichamen worden bekeken en bestudeerd. Er wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen professionele sterrenwachten en volks- of publiekssterrenwachten. 

In Amerika is een observatorium (National Solar Observatory) dat zich uitsluitend bezighoudt met het bestuderen van de zon. De hoofdvestiging hiervan bevindt zich in Boulder, Colorado, en er zijn een tweetal andere vestigingen waarvan er één zich bevindt in de plaats Sunspot in New Mexico en de andere in Kitt Peak in Arizona. 

Nu was er iets bijzonders aan de hand bij het observatorium in Sunspot vorige week. 

Van het ene op het andere moment werd het observatorium ontruimd en de toegangswegen er naartoe afgesloten door de FBI.

Het gebeurde afgelopen donderdag en zelfs het nabijgelegen postkantoor werd ontruimd en het personeel (tijdelijk) overgeplaatst naar een ander kantoor. 

Maar, het meest vreemde van alles is toch wel dat er geen enkele verklaring wordt gegeven door de FBI. Ze reageren simpelweg nergens op, ook niet op vragen van plaatselijke televisiestations. 

Ook de mensen die weggestuurd zijn van het postkantoor kregen geen enkele reden te horen en ook niet hoelang het allemaal zou gaan duren. Ook de plaatselijke sheriff weet niet veel meer dan de bevolking en het gevolg is uiteraard dat er druk wordt gespeculeerd over de reden van de sluiting. 

Eén ding is wel zeker, als de FBI er zo snel bij betrokken wordt en zo geheimzinnig doet en alles afsluit, dan is er echt wel wat bijzonders aan de hand. 

Zou het kunnen zijn dat ze bij dat observatorium iets ontdekt hebben nabij de zon wat ze eigenlijk niet hadden mogen zien. Hebben ze misschien duidelijk de grote ruimteschepen waargenomen die daar al jarenlang worden gesignaleerd? 

Of is het iets anders en heeft het misschien te maken met de nadering van de planeet Nibiru? 

Wat het ook is, dit observatorium houdt zich bezig met de zon en alles wat zich daar afspeelt.

WAT DOEN AL DIE VERBORGEN RUIMTESCHEPEN HIER ? ( VIDEO )

Al vele jaren doet zich een vreemd fenomeen voor van grote UFO’s zich proberen te verbergen in wolken. 

Het aantal waarnemingen hiervan neemt toe en de vraag is dan ook wat al die objecten hier doen. 

De uitlaatgassen van vliegtuigen veroorzaken condenssporen. Door sterke winden kunnen ze zich uitspreiden tot Homomutatus-wolken.

Zo worden grote vermomde ruimteschepen altijd standaard lenticulariswolken genoemd en zo zijn vreemde en niet natuurlijke/normale zaken gemakkelijk weg te moffelen onder de noemer "wolk". 

Door de jaren heen zijn hier talloze artikelen verschenen over vreemd uitziende wolken, soms ook met kleinere UFO’s er omheen. Het zijn waarnemingen van mensen, foto’s en filmbeelden die aan duidelijkheid niets te wensen over laten. 

Soms is er ook natuurlijk wel sprake van echt vreemd uitziende wolken en het is dan ook niet zo dat iedere ufo wolk een UFO is. 

De mooiste waarnemingen zijn dan ook die zoals de volgende, waar heel duidelijk een kleinere UFO zich losmaakt van een groot vermomd moederschip.

En nu zijn er weer een aantal mooie opnames naar buiten gekomen, zoals de volgende van een waarneming op 9 september boven Reykjavik in IJsland. 

Een wolk die niet thuishoort in de lucht zoals die daar op dat moment eruit ziet.

En vergis je niet in de grootte. Dit object heeft een grootte van ruim anderhalve kilometer en dat is een behoorlijk groot ruimteschip. 

Enkele dagen daarvoor wordt in Bangalore in India ook een merkwaardige wolk waargenomen.

De filmopnames zijn gemaakt op 5 september door een man die onderweg was naar het ziekenhuis toen hij de bizarre lucht boven zijn hoofd ontdekte. 

Hierna volgen de bewegende beelden en wanneer er wordt ingezoomd zie je dat er zich een groot object bevindt achter/in de wolken. 

De vraag die natuurlijk blijft is waarom al die ruimteschepen hier op dit moment zijn. Misschien in afwachting van grootse dingen die staan te gebeuren op aarde en mogen straks “de uitverkorenen” instappen voor de ruimtereis van hun leven.

As a follow-up to my earlier article on a potential connection between Mothman and the Crop Circle phenomenon, I thought I would share with you another strange story from Crop Circle maker, Matthew Williams. As I noted in the previous article, Matt is someone who openly admits to having made numerous, complex formations – primarily (but certainly not exclusively) in the fields of the county of Wiltshire, England. Matt, however, does not take the view that he is a straightforward hoaxer. Rather, he concludes that some form of presently unknown phenomenon deliberately interacts with the Circle makers, driving them to make the impressive formations that appear every year in the U.K.

Matt told me a very strange story of a remarkable incident that occurred in the summer of 1996. It all began just after he parked in his car atop Knap Hill, which is an ancient hill situated deep in the heart of Wiltshire’s Crop Circle country. Matt was looking down on what has become known as the East Field, a location where a number of intricate Crop Circle formations have appeared over the years, when: “I was sitting in the car about 9 o’clock at night, and suddenly saw this light that seemed to be coming from Adam’s Grave [a 196-foot-long, 19-foot-high, long-barrow with an ancient burial-chamber at its southeast end], which is on Walker’s Hill. I had all my equipment with me – cameras, night-scopes and binoculars – and so I jumped out of the car and focused on Adam’s Grave. It was a bright, moonlit night and Walker’s Hill was all lit up.

“Through the binoculars I could see a chap on top of it holding what seemed to be a torch. I could tell he was wearing what looked like either a long, dark coat or a black cloak. So, I then got my night-vision equipment for a better look and could see he was walking back and forwards on Adam’s Grave. Well, I watched him for a few minutes and then went back to the car to get some food. Then, about ten minutes later, I thought I’d take a look again.”

It was at that point, as Matt revealed, that things became decidedly strange: “When I looked up again, I could see that there was a group of figures standing in a circle around this man. What was stranger was that I could only make out their shape, but not their clothing. And as I watched, they began what looked like a dance: a ritual dance like those of the Native American Indians. But the weird thing was that he was just stood there, and it was like he couldn’t even see them.”

But that was nothing compared to what happened next, as Matt made very clear to me: “Whatever these creatures were, they suddenly began to shrink in size, to about the size of small children. They carried on doing this wild dance, like a ceremony; but what was odd was they seemed to glitter, particularly on their arms, like little globes of light flickering. I thought: What the hell are they? So, I packed the equipment back in the car, edged my way towards Adam’s Grave and hoped no-one could see me, and then sprinted the last bit to surprise them and see what was going on. But when I got there, the figures were gone and the chap was gone, too. The moon lit up the whole area, but there was no-one, nothing. I stood around for a while, searched out the whole area, and then went back to the car. There wasn’t really much more I could do.”

You can have most any “fringe” beliefs or interests and still disguise yourself as an upstanding, yet adorably eccentric, member of normal society, but Atlantis is the point of no return. Once you start talking about Atlantis, you’re done for. So, let’s talk about Atlantis. According to Plato, The lost city of Atlantiswas an ancient island superpower ruled located in the eastern Atlantic ocean—which was named after the lost city.  Atlantis was, according to Plato, a stunningly gorgeous and opulent place, built upon concentric circles of land and water. It was wealthy and powerful beyond measure until, in the course of one day and one night, the whole thing went sideways and a cataclysm wiped the city of Atlantis off the map and out of the history books. According to some esoteric traditions, Atlantis was the birthplace of the so-called “Mystery Schools” that wove their way through western philosophy after the city’s destruction.

The accepted explanation for Plato’s story of Atlantis, however, is that it was just a story, meant to teach a lesson of morality and show Plato’s philosophy on governance. Still, there are countless people who believe that Plato was talking about a real place that was destroyed by a real cataclysm. Plato himself says, in effect, “I know this sounds like nonsense, but I swear I ain’t lyin’.” But we’ve never found evidence, and now that we can image the sea floor, and have found evidence of sunken cities, shouldn’t the fact that we haven’t found Atlantis put this whole thing to bed? Well, what if we haven’t been looking in the right places? What if the ruins of the island-bound seafaring superpower were sitting, right under our noses the whole time, in the middle of the Sahara desert?

An Idealistic Depiction of the Atlantean Mystery Temple by J. Augustus Knapp for the book The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall (1928).

It sounds like a stretch. Yet, that’s what a new video by YouTube channel Bright Insight is proposing, building off the work done by George S. Alexander and Natalis Rosen in the documentary Visiting Atlantis. In a 20 minute long video that’s surprisingly clear, sober, and well edited Bright Insight lays out the case for the Richat structure—also known as the eye of the Sahara—being the true location of Atlantis.

The Richat structure is an earthen structure of unknown origin in Mauritania, on the northwest coast of Africa. It consists of concentric circles of raised ground, bordered by mountains to the north and facing the sea to the south. It’s very big. It also happens to be almost the exact same size as the measurements Plato gave for Atlantis (depending on how you interpret ancient Greek units of measurement).

Plato states that the city of Atlantis was 127 stadia in diameter. According to Dictionary.com, one stadia is approximately 607 feet. This is the conversion used in the video, which works out to 127 stadia equaling 77,089 feet and 23.49 kilometers. Measuring the Richat structure in Google Earth gives a diameter of between 22 and 24 kilometers. That’s pretty close to the measurements for Atlantis. However, other sources say that a stadia is between 607 and 630 feet, which doesn’t seem like a big difference until you realize that 27 feet of variance per stadia, multiplied by 127 stadia, comes out to 3429 feet. While that’s the upper end of the possible variance, it has to be said that the Richat structure would fit the bill a bit less if it was three quarters of a mile too small. It’s not a lot, but it sure wouldn’t be perfectly exact.

Bird’s eye view of the Richat structure.

The surrounding areas match the description of Atlantis fairly note-for-note as well. Plato describes the city as being bordered to the north by mountains notable for their great number and beauty. The Richat structure is indeed ringed by mountains to the north. In the video, mention is made of geologic surveys which show that the mountains to the north of the Eye of the Sahara had waterfalls falling from them when the Sahara desert was not yet a desert, which would be fairly noteworthy.

Further arguments made include the timeline of the fall of Atlantis matching up pretty nicely with the proposed date of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, which argues that the impact of a comet or asteroid triggered the Younger Dryas period of rapid and sudden climate change and sea level variation.

It’s an interesting proposal and a surprising one. Usually when you watch a YouTube video on subjects like the lost city of Atlantis, you come out of it measurably dumber for having done so. It is hard to believe that if there’s an argument this convincing to be made (ignoring whether or not it’s true), I somehow haven’t heard of it before. That generally means something is either being deliberately suppressed, or is easily and thoroughly debunked. Unfortunately, it’s usually the latter. Without the credentials to make a real judgement, I’ll say this: I’m certainly more interested in the topic of Atlantis than I was before, and I’m really glad to know there are people on YouTube who appreciate production value.

Last week, here at Mysterious Universe, I wrote a couple of articles on the Roswell affair of July 1947. My position on Roswell is very clear: I think that a highly-classified, and highly controversial, experiment was at the heart of the case, and not the crash of an extraterrestrial spacecraft and its crew. For the vast majority of people in Ufology, Roswell is considered to be the most credible crashed UFO case of all. But, if Roswell does collapse – as a UFO event, at least – then what does that say about the rest of the high-profile crashed UFO incidents on record? The fact is that when we go digging, we do see solid reasons why we should be wary of the supposed credibility of these incidents, too. We’ll start with the 1950s and a case that allegedly occurred less than a year after the Roswell event took place.

Of particular note is the fact that in the early 1950s, Newton was quietly approached by military-intelligence personnel. In an astonishing state of affairs, the two men in question made it very clear to Newton that they knew his story of a crashed UFO at Hart Canyon was absolute bullshit, but they wanted him to continue to promote the story. Was this a way for those same military-intelligence personnel to further bury the Roswell incident amid more and more tales of crashed UFOs, and far away from controversial experiments? Almost certainly. Whatever the answer, we can say with a high degree of certainty that Newton was used – by the military – to promote a bogus crashed UFO event.

In 1952, a story surfaced to the effect that a Flying Saucer had fallen on the island of Spitsbergen, off the coast of Norway. The CIA took an interest in the saga and wrote the following: “Writing in the German magazine Der Fliger, Dr. Waldemar Beck says that a flying saucer which recently fell at Spitsbergen has been studied by eminent Norwegian and German rocket experts. He writes that Dr Norsal, a Norwegian expert in rocket construction, went to the place where the flying saucer had fallen a few hours after it had been discovered in the mountains of Spitsbergen by Norwegian jet planes.”

Agency staff had this to say, too: “In the wreck of the apparatus the expert is said to have discovered a radio piloting transmitter with a nucleus of plutonium transmitting on all wavelengths with 934 hertz, a measure that has been unknown so far. The investigation has also shown that the flying saucer crashed because of a defect in its radio piloting system. The saucer which carried no crew has a diameter of 47 meters. The steel used in the construction is an unknown ally. It consists of an exterior disc provided at its peripheral with 46 automatic jets. This disc pivots around the central sphere which contains the measurement and remote control equipment. The measurement instructions have an inscription in Russian.”

What is particularly intriguing about all this is not the CIA’s response to it, but the reaction of the National Security Agency. Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act, several hundred UFO-themed documents have surfaced from the vaults of the NSA. One of those documents tells the story of the Spitsbergen case, but notes that it was, and I quote, “a plant.”Planted by who? The United States? The Russians? We still don’t have the answers to those questions. But, yet again, we have what appears to be a fabricated story of a crashed UFO, disseminated for reasons that are not fully clear.

In May 1953, a UFO is alleged to have crashed outside of Kingman, Arizona. A man named Arthur Stansel – but who went under the alias of “Fritz Werner” – claimed knowledge of the crash, and also of the recovery of a small, humanoid body at the crash-site. It’s a classic case of its type. But, again, we have good reasons to dismiss it as a UFO event. At the time, Stansel worked on an atomic-bomb-based program called Operation Upshot-Knothole. It was overseen by the Atomic Energy Commission and ran from mid-March 1953 to early June 1953. The Kingman crash occurred in the middle of the tests. Ufologists have suggested that the blast of one of the bombs caused a UFO to crash to the ground at Kingman, killing the pilot. But, when we dig deeper we find a far more plausible story that offers a definitively down-to-earth explanation for the mystery of Kingman.

Early Cloud Penetration is an Atomic Energy Commission document that tells the story of something very intriguing. Although it is dated January 27, 1956, its focus is on certain events that occurred back in 1953: “In the event of nuclear warfare the AF is confronted with two special problems. First is the hazard to flight crews who may be forced to fly through an atomic cloud. Second is the hazard to ground crews who maintain the aircraft after it has flown through the cloud…In the 1953 Upshot-Knothole tests, monkeys were used so that experiments could be conducted on larger animals nearer the size of man. QF-80 drone aircraft were used, their speed more nearly approximating that of current operational aircraft.”

There are rumors that one of the QF-80 drone planes developed a problem and, as a result, crashed near Kingman. The alien? A charred monkey, found in the wreckage of the doomed plane. To hide the extent to which the United States was researching the effects of radiation on military aircraft, amazing tales of a crashed UFO and a dead alien were encouraged to be spread. And, let’s not forget that Stansel was himself working on the very same program that was using the monkeys.

I started this article with Roswell – which occurred in the 1940s. Today’s article casts a great deal of doubt when it comes to some of the crashed UFO tales of the 1950s. Next, I’ll turn my attentions to the 1960s, and the crashed UFOs that were actually nothing of the sort.

The National Solar Observatory in New Mexico has been evacuated and locked down, the FBI is involved and they are not telling us the reason.

Could it be that astronomers who work at the observatory have photographed 'Something' near the sun or in deep space that must remain secret or there’s something else going, but for now it remains mystery.

The National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, and a nearby United States Postal Service office, were evacuated for security reasons Thursday, observatory officials said.

"We have decided to temporarily vacate this facility as a precautionary measure. And we're working with the proper authorities on this issue," Association for Universities for Research in Astronomy spokeswoman Sheri Lofson said.

Friday, both properties remained closed to the public, with yellow caution tape around the property.

Sunspot is located in the Sacramento Mountains in Otero County about 15 miles south of Cloudcroft. There is currently a working telescope at the observatory, where New Mexico State University also conducts research.

"As locals I feel that we should know what's going on around us," Cloudcroft resident Roger Wiley said. A spokesman for the Otero County Sheriff's Office said they are not involved in the investigation.

A post office in the area has also been shut down. (Even the Post Office has not been told why).

"Right now, what we're told is that they've temporarily evacuated the area. We haven't been told why or when that expires," said Rod Spurgeon, a spokesman with the USPS reports KVIA.News - KVIA video news here.

According to a commenter at ATS: But for the FBI to get involved that quick and be so secretive about it, there was a lot of stuff going on up there, House said. “There was a Black hawk helicopter, a bunch of people around antennas and work crews on towers but nobody would tell us anything, what their purpose was nobody will say.

Two interesting objects in the middle of nowhere in Antarctica.

First object seems to be a structure/base (50 x 30 meters) and the second object is a circular object with a diameter of 30 meters.

The distance between the UFO disk and the base is just 6 km.

Why they have built a base in such remote area and the circular object could be a crashed UFO?

The crashed disk is part of a secret project and the test/operation is guided from that base or the UFO disk is extraterrestrial and the base has been set up to investigate the UFO?

Coordinates: 

• Structure - Base 76°14'23.26"S 112° 3'11.90"W 
• UFO Disk 76°17'13.24"S 112° 9'46.32"W

School Teacher In Texas Shares Picture Of UFO Sighting Near Laredo

After years of his strange sighting near Laredo, an elementary school teacher is finally coming forward. San Antonio resident Marcelino Castillo said that he was cleaning out his photo drive when he saw the picture again. It was the time he decided to share it on Facebook finally. The photograph reportedly shows a sunrise with a strange rectangular object hovering in the sky 30 minutes north of Laredo.

Castillo said he was traveling to Mexico when he took the photo a couple of years ago. He stated that when he first noticed the light, he believed it was a plane, but he just took a picture of the sunrise. When he zoomed in, he thought right there that he got an incredible picture.

Castillo said that he did not share the photo with anyone for fear they would think he was crazy.

He was skeptical about sightings like he snapped with all the photoshopping and other technologies people do nowadays. However, when it happened to him, it suddenly not far-fetched, according to Castillo.

Now, Castillo is a self-proclaimed believer. He encourages anyone who sees something like that to bring it out as it could help somebody to open his or her mind about the existence of UFOs.

A Strange Square UFO Hovering In The Night Sky Scares NC Man To Death

A husband and father, 35, claims he doesn’t necessarily believe in UFOs but cannot resist posting an alleged UFO sighting near Charlotte on Facebook.

Javion Hill of Kings Mountain in North Carolina said he captured multiple photographs of the object during a storm on the night of August 18, as he drove on U.S. 74 southwest of the largest city in North Carolina.

The images show something square having edges fringed in lights hovering above the treeline. Hill said the craft frightened him to the point that he could not sleep that night.

Mr Hill was on his way home with his wife on the speakerphone and noticed there was a tornado coming, so he was trying to take a photo of the clouds for his wife.

But then he saw something unusual that left him baffled. He started trying to take as many pictures as he could while driving.

Mr Hill said that he pulled over at the next exit trying to get a video, but the aircraft had disappeared then a heavy rain followed instantly.

He further stated that the actual object was bigger than what was seen in the picture.

He was worried for his safety even after the sighting. He claimed to be an unbeliever in UFOs until that moment.

New map of Antarctica is the most detailed out of all continents

 BY TIBI PUIU

Antarctica is now officially the most well mapped out region, or continent for that matter, in the world. Drawing upon hundreds of thousands of images collected by polar-orbiting satellites between 2009 and 2019, a consortium of scientists has released the first version of the Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA).

Few people have set foot on Antarctica, one of the most inhospitable places on the face of the Earth. Luckily, our eyes in the sky have recorded the surface of the continent in excruciating detail so we might see what it looks like without having to put boots on the ground.

The new map covers approximately 98% of Antarctica to a latitude of 88 degrees south — just a small area right near the South Pole is missing due to a lack of satellite coverage. The resolution is a mind-boggling 2-8 meter — it means we can now see objects down to the size of a car, and even smaller in some areas.

In order to assemble the map from thousands of stereoscopic pairs of images into a huge topographic map, the scientists fed the data into a supercomputer and had to develop the software from scratch. The map’s total size is a staggering 150 terabytes.

“Up until now, we’ve had a better map of Mars than we’ve had of Antarctica,” Ohio State University glaciologist Ian Howat, who led the mapping effort, said in a press release. “Now it is the best-mapped continent.”

The project is important for a number of reasons. Now that they know the height of absolutely every feature on Antarctica, scientists can make far better forecasts for ice sheet collapse and glacier melt. With a narrower range of uncertainty, we can now come up with better estimates for sea level rise and improve climate change projections.

“If you’re someone that needs glasses to see, it’s a bit like being almost blind and putting on glasses for the first time and seeing 20/20,” Howat told The New York Times.

Researchers will continuously update the map with new data, which will help researchers all over the world with investigations from changing snow cover to the thinning of glaciers to changes in volcanic activity. And, not the least, scientists can now plan field expeditions to unexplored regions of the continent.

This topography map, called Bedmap2, was compiled by the British Antarctic Survey and incorporates millions of new measurements, including substantial data sets from NASA's ICESat satellite and an airborne mission called Operation IceBridge.

Puzzling Swirls on the Moon May Come from Ancient, Magnetized Lava

Like pours of cream spilled into coffee, lunar swirls appear to curl in patchy globs across the surface of the moon. The most famous one is the tadpole-shaped Reiner Gamma. At 40 miles long, it’s caught the eye of astronomers since the Renaissance. Exactly why the moon is replete with these natural features, however, has been a point of academic debate for the last 50 years. Now, scientists from Rutgers University and the University of California, Berkeley say they have an answer.

In a paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research the team claims it all comes down to the geological history of the moon. Recently, scientists have begun to accept that lunar swirls like Reiner Gamma emerged in places where local magnetic fields once shielded parts of the moon’s surface. The moon doesn’t have a strong magnetic field anymore, but researchers estimate that it did have one between 2.7 and 4.2 billion years ago. Remnants of that ancient magnetic field are now embedded in the lunar crust beneath the swirls.

Studying how the moon’s magnetic fields arose billions of years ago helped reveal why lunar swirls exist, study co-author and planetary scientist Sonia Tikoo, Ph.D., explained on Thursday. “We had to find out what kind of geological feature could produce these magnetic fields,” she said.

The team developed a mathematical model, incorporating what was already known about the geometry of the swirls and the strength of the magnetic field hotspots beneath them. This model indicated that the underlying magnetized rocks would have to be shallow, narrow, and strongly magnetized — factors that point to the existence of archaic lava tubes.

“We suggest that these rocks were likely injected into the crush in the form of dikes or subsurface channels of flowing lava and they cooled slowly, leading to the enhancement of their metal content and enabling the rocks to capture a stable record of the Moon’s ancient magnetic field,” the scientists write.

The lava tubes theory fits nicely with what we already know about magnetism and moon rocks. Previous experiments demonstrated that moon rocks become highly magnetic when heated above 600 degrees Celsius. On Earth, where there’s free-floating oxygen, not much would happen at those temperatures, but on the moon, high temperatures — like those potentially found in lava tubes — cause minerals to break down and release metallic iron. If the iron is near a strong magnetic field, it will then become magnetized itself.

The researchers believe this process creates a swirl. The only real way to find this out though is to visit a lunar swirl and study it directly — something that, if NASA’s moon colony plan stays on track, could happen in the relatively near future.

We live in a time of anonymous op-ed exposés and tell-all books with unnamed sources, so it’s not surprising that anonymity permeates the field of ufology as well. Yet it’s still refreshing that someone involved in a UFO sighting and subsequent “panic” some eight years ago has decided to come partially out of the closet and, while not revealing his name, discloses how he … get ready for it … faked the UFO that created many sightings, extensive news coverage and a ‘UFO Panic in New Jersey’. Will that be the title of a sci-fi thriller, a disclosure documentary or a how-to UFO video?

“I first noticed when all our mechanics started looking up at the sky. It looked like a big black strip fluttering in the air. Maybe a cylinder.”

Photos by David Gard/For The Star-LedgerAn unidentified object floats over Somerville and Bridgewater causing a flurry of phone calls to Somerville police this morning. Below, Damian Wadiak, Terry Weil and Jane Kronenwetter, from the sales department at Autosport Honda on Route 22 in Bridgewater, look at the object.

On May 13, 2010, nj.com reported UFO sightings (clink link for photos) over Route 22 in Bridgewater and Somerville, New Jersey. Shortly before noon, radio station NJ 101.5 received numerous calls, as did the Somerville Police Department, reporting the mysterious object. Well, “mysterious” might be a stretch as the object looked like a giant stretched balloon, but this is New Jersey and people still remembered what happened on 9/11 and decided to follow the advice that “If you see something, say something.” The Air Traffic Control Tower in Morristown, Solberg Airport in Hunterdon, Somerset Airport in Bedminster and Blairstown Airport in Warren County were all contacted and reported seeing nothing unusual.

Time for true confessions

“8 years ago I caused a UFO panic.”

That’s the title of a Reddit post this week by thatsboots3010. While he doesn’t reveal his name, he gives all of the pertinent details about what happened on May 13, 2010.

“One college summer break 8 years ago my friends and I were bored. We remembered a demonstration from a high school science class of a “Solar Balloon“. This was just a really thin black plastic bag you’d fill with air, seal, and then set out in the sun. The sun would heat the air in the black bag and the bag would become buoyant and float.”

College students. Summer vacation. Were illegal substances and adult beverages involved? Quite possibly, but their main concern was finding cheap (they’re college students) black plastic bags and thin but strong tape to connect them into a huge balloon. Someone provided a leaf blower to fill the balloon, the sun provided the fuel to heat the air and a thirty-minute wait (Two beers? One joint?) was all that was needed to send the balloon aloft.

Being college students on summer break, this was enough fun to waste the rest of the day on it, so thatsboots3010 says they built a second balloon and launched it as well. Other than a few looks from passing cars, that was the end of it.

“I moved out of the area but when I get together with my friend we always bring this up and have a good laugh.”

Well, that was it until a few years ago when thatsboots3010 saw the article in nj.com about the UFO “panic” he and his friends caused and then recently when he entered the confessional of Reddit and admitted in the most 2018 of ways – anonymously – that he was the terrestrial behind the non-alien UFO of 2010.

The proper use of garbage bags.

Should there be an investigation to reveal his true identity? After all, police were called, radio shows were interrupted, airports were bothered and residents were panicked. Far smaller incidents have prompted far bigger searches. Then again, looking at the pictures, perhaps it’s better to use this as a learning experience and issue a corollary to the popular security warning:

“If you see something, say something. However, if it looks like a duct-taped garbage bag balloon and it floats like a duct-taped garbage bag balloon, it’s probably a duct-taped garbage bag balloon.”

Airplanes are terrifying. No matter how many times you get into a plane, there’s a tiny voice in the back of your head reminding you “this ain’t natural,” but that’s coming from someone who has to put down enough overpriced hard liquor every time he gets into one of those steel death tubes to forget the reality of being unceremoniously tossed across the globe. There’s not a lot that will quell that fear either, and every other day there seems to be more good reasons to keep your feet on the ground. As if mechanical failures, disappearances, and hijacking weren’t enough to worry about, now there’s a report coming from Porterville Municipal Airport in California of a mysterious “pulling” that caused the crashes of two separate airplanes in two days. Luckily, both crashes were minor and no one was seriously injured, but it’s a bit disconcerting that we have to add “spooky forces” to the list of excuses for not flying.

The first incident happened on Friday, August 31. According to Visalia Times Delta, a small airplane was landing at Porterville Municipal Airport when it veered off and crashed into a sign at the airport, no one was injured and the plane suffered only minor damage. According to police, the pilot said that she was landing when she felt the aircraft pulling to the side and lost control. All three parties involved (the pilot, the plane, and the sign), are fine, and the plane was able to taxi across the runway back to the hangers.

So far there’s nothing out of the ordinary, accidents happen. However, less than 24 hours later a very similar incident occurred involving a completely different pilot and a completely different plane, but the same mysterious pulling.

Unrelated plane crash, but what if terrible pilots just start using this as an excuse, and every time they blunder they just say that a wizard did it?

This time the pilot was taking off when the plane was suddenly pulled off the runway and ended up overturned in a nearby field. Motorists saw the incident and called 911. According to police officer Sgt. Brian Nix:

“His aircraft began pulling to the left and veered off the runway and into the dirt field. As he attempted to maneuver the aircraft to recover, it began to lift and ultimately overturned.”

The pilot was uninjured but the plane received moderate damage.

According to the Visalia Times, these incidents remain unexplained. The events at Portersville Airport have been reported to the FAA, who will likely begin an investigation of the phenomena. If anyone want’s to dust off their old tinfoil thinkin’ cap, here’s a little morsel for you: the airport was founded in 1946 after it was transferred to the town from the U.S. Army. Now, it’s true that that’s the case for a lot of the infrastructure in the U.S., but it’s also true that unexplained phenomena and the U.S. military go together like airport bars and awkward conversations.

“Have you heard about all those wizards crashing planes?”

A Melbourne-based Family Claims to Have Spotted UFO Above Their House

Paul says his whole family was mystified by the object.

Three mysterious bright red lights hovering without a sound in the sky had made a man, and his family stunned and claimed that there was no natural explanation for what they spotted.

The Melbourne family claimed to have noticed something strange floating above their house over the weekend and even snapped a photo of the bizarre object.

Paul Steinberg said that he and daughter were in the driveway of their home in North Caulfield at around 8 pm when they both saw the UFO.

Mr Steinberg said that the strange aerial thing was flying just under the clouds and appearing like with three red lights in a triangular formation moving without making any noise in a westerly direction.

Mr Steinberg further stated that they could not figure out what it was and it took them a few moments to realise it was travelling quite fast at what he estimated to be around 500km/h.

He called the attention of his wife and two other children outside, and they all witnessed unusual activity above them.

The 45-year-old, along with his children aged between 11 and 18 and his wife, all watched the bright red lights zoomed silently overhead.

Mr Steinberg said that they wanted to discount all conventional explanations they knew, including Venus, drones, planes, and satellites.

He estimated the UFO to be about 1.5km above them and claimed the lights were still easily distinguishable, which made them think the UFO was huge and too high and big for it to be a drone.

“It was very steady and silent for the most part but when it got into the distance it started to move around erratically, up and down and left and right — all over the place,” Mr Steinberg said.
“During the time we could it, the lights sometimes disappeared before reappearing in a different spot.”
He said it danced in the sky for about 10 minutes before it completely disappeared.
Mr Steinberg claimed the way it was moving, how fast it was travelling and the fact that it was silent made it nothing like he and his family had ever seen before.
However, Regional Aviation Association of Australia (RAAA) CEO Michael Linke told news.com.au there was probably an earthly explanation for the odd sight.
“It was more than likely an aircraft,” he said. “Depending on the prevailing winds, you would not be able to hear the engine.”

FRBS: DOZENS OF REPEATING RADIO SIGNALS DISCOVERED COMING FROM GALAXY 3 BILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY

NASA records ‘aliens TALKING’ in unexplained radio ‘chatter’ picked up by Saturn probe

THESE mysterious radio waves picked up by a NASA probe flying past Saturn could be “aliens talking”, conspiracy theorists claim.

By Paul Harper 

The space agency’s groundbreaking Cassini spacecraft became the first to orbit the gas giant.

Saturn emits natural radio waves because of its powerful magnetic field and when charged particles are accelerated through the field they give off radio emissions which can sound likes whizzes and static.

When Cassini reached the planet, the second biggest in our solar system behind Jupiter, it recorded dozens of radio waves.

A YouTube conspiracy video has highlighted a file on July 25, 2004, which when raised in pitch can sound eerily like a creature from a science-fiction movie.

It claims that NASA’s note on the file stated: “A most intriguing file, we do not know what to make of it.”

Some have theorised the sound when digitally enhanced reveals communication from an alien lifeform and possibly musical notes.

It emerged Cassini began detecting Saturn’s radio waves two years earlier when it was 234 million miles from the ringed planet.

Scientists learned that the natural radio waves differs at the northern and southern hemispheres and with the pattern of the waves worked out that the length of day on Saturn would be just 10.67 hours after several revisions.

On Saturn every season lasts seven Earth years.

WEIRD: The NASA spacecraft Cassini picked up an extremely strange radio signal from Saturn

Cassini was the first mission to ever study the mysterious planet and its moon, including the largest one dubbed Titan.

This super-sized moon – one of 63 near saturn – is believed to have lakes, mountains and possibly volcanoes.

One theory suggests the foggy world could have many of the chemical compounds which started life on Earth.

Cassini came as close as 15 miles to the icy surface of Saturn, capturing massive ocean beneath the frozen crust which might have conditions suitable for life.

NASA's revolutionary Kepler space telescope has found around 50 earth-sized planets which are in a habitable zone from their star to support life.
