The fairies of times long gone were very far removed from what one might be accustomed to seeing on a modern day Christmas card. Contrary to the belief that fairies grow to barely five to six inches tall, the creatures of old reached heights similar to those of young children – that’s to say roughly around three feet tall. They were most often described as looking very old, wizened, and even sinister. They lived deep underground, in darkened hollows, in mounds that opened up into vast, cavernous, winding regions, and in magical domains where aging was non-existent, disease was unknown, and, for all intents and purposes, life seemed to go on forever.

In addition to that, the little people – like fairies all across the planet – had an obsession with human reproduction: they stole newborn babies from their cradles, sometimes replacing them with one of their own, magical kind. It was a creature termed a “changeling,” most often a fairy baby, but sometimes an ailing, very old fairy. On other occasions, the fairies left effigies, often carved out of wood, and known as the “stock’ or the “fetch,” which were designed to resemble a baby. In mere days, however, the effigy would degrade, revealing it to be nothing more than the rotted wood of an old tree. It hardly needs saying that none of these replacements offered any kind of comfort to the distraught parents, who just wanted their children returned as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they seldom were – if ever.

There was a very good reason why the fairies were so intent on kidnapping human babies: a staple part of fairy lore tells of how the creatures were very often blighted in their attempts to reproduce, with miscarriages and deformities leading the pack when it came to fairy births. So, they would try and strengthen their stock via the introduction of new blood: ours, to be precise. Generally, the stolen baby would, as an adult, marry into fairy nobility.

On this same path of improving the fairy stock, there are numerous tales in centuries-old Celtic lore of men becoming dazzled and entranced by fairies – very often late at night on lonely roads, or in the depths of silent, enchanting woods – and taken to the fairy kingdom where they would engage in sex with female fairies, and usually with fairy queens.  In 1886, F.S. Wilde, a noted historian on Celtic folklore and mythology, said: “The queen [of the fairies] is more beautiful than any woman on earth, yet Finvarra [the king of the fairies] loves the mortal woman best, and wiles them down to his fairy palace by the subtle charm of the fairy music, for no one who has yet heard it can resist its power, and they are fated to belong to the fairies ever after. Their friends mourn for them as dead with much lamentation, but in reality they are leading a joyous life down in the heart of the hill, in the fairy palace with the silver columns and the crystal walls.”

Then there is the matter of what we might call “missing time.” One thing, more than any other, confirmed an encounter with the fairies: when the person – or, perhaps, “the victim” is a better term to use – who had encountered these magical beings returned to our world, they typically found that days, weeks, or even years, had gone by, despite being absolutely certain in their own minds that the passage of time was no more than scarcely a few hours.

A classic example of this is the 13^th Century story of one Thomas the Rhymer, a bard of Berwickshire, Scotland. While strolling, alone, one night, on the banks of the Leader Water, Thomas is confronted by the most beautiful woman he has ever encountered in his life, sitting atop a huge, white, horse. Her hair is golden, and her green cloak is adorned with priceless, sparkling jewels. She introduces herself as none other than the queen of the fairies. Thomas, practically, hypnotized by her beauty, asks for a kiss. The queen agrees, but demands that, in return, Thomas must travel with her to the fairy kingdom, where he will serve her – meaning sex. He eagerly agrees. For Thomas, it seems that no more than three days has passed by, when he is returned to our world. He is, however, terrified to find that no less than seven years have elapsed. So smitten is he by the queen – who has given him the gift of prophecy – Thomas eventually returns to the fairy realm to live out the rest of his days, perhaps no longer able to relate to our world, after seeing what lies beyond the veil.

A similar story, from the 19^th century, tells of two Welshmen, Llewellyn and Rhys, who were walking to their homes late one night when they heard the sound of enchanting, hypnotic music. While Rhys was entranced by it, Llewellyn was not: he knew it was the chilling calling-card of the fairies, and that listening to the music for too long would lead one to fall under the spell of the little people. Rhys refused to budge; Llewellyn fled. On the following day, Llewellyn tentatively returned to the scene and found, to his amazement and concern, Rhys wildly dancing in what was termed “a fairy circle.” Despite the passing of a day, Rhys was sure he had only been dancing for mere minutes.

There is another factor that comes into play here: the issue of small, diminutive entities, of a supernatural nature, displaying a somewhat morbid obsession with newborn babies and human reproduction, and who have the ability to leave the targeted individual with a distinct sense of “missing time,” are staple factors of what have become known, today, as “alien abductions.” Of course, there is nothing new about any of this at all: check out the work of Jacques Vallee, particularly so Passport to Magonia, a book that I think gets closer to the truth of the UFO phenomenon than most.

In the world of UFO truth-seeking, one of the most significant events in recent memory was last year’s apparent disclosure of a secretive research project within the Pentagon. That project, known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, was created to analyze evidence of anomalous aerial activity gathered by the U.S. military. The disclosure of the program was accompanied by several videos which were reported to show U.S. aircraft being easily out maneuvered by strange objects capable of speeds and acrobatics far out of reach of current military aircraft. While those “disclosures” have been great fodder for headlines over the last year, the man who formerly headed the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program recently made comments suggesting more, bigger disclosures are in store for 2019.

Luis Elizondo recently sat down with legendary journalist George Knapp to discuss all that’s happened in the year since the initial disclosure of the program. In the interview, Elizondo suggests that while last year was a big one, 2019 could be even bigger:

Data is forthcoming. So, that’s a good thing. Data is beginning to flow in the direction that it’s supposed to flow in. Decisions can now finally be made that need to be made. From my perspective, that is a huge accomplishment. But at the same time, we also have to respect these individuals’ privacy. We have to respect their professional positions and allow them to collect as much data as they can before they do anything with it.

Of course, as a career intelligence officer, Elizondo parses his words carefully and doesn’t reveal anything specific. Of course, you have to wonder: does he actually have anything specific to disclose? If the AATIP program Elizondo headed was as steeped in actual evidence as was reported, then probably so.

At another point in the interview, Elizondo hints that while the videos that have been released so far help shine light on all of the strangeness going on in our skies, there’s plenty more where they came from:

I think we have a much better understanding in the depth and scope that the Department of Defense has played in recent times, not historical 40s and 50s. I’m talking very recent regarding the UFO phenomenon. I think people will be surprised just how frequent and the volume in which these things are apparently recorded and observed by active duty military people on missions, around the world, by the way.

Of course, given DeLonge’s announcement of a new television series, could all of this merely be a clever multi-year campaign to build the “To The Stars Academy” brand? Along those same lines, could all of this talk of disclosure be another smokescreen to conceal what’s really going on in the skies? Just because these aircraft (or whatever they are) are highly advanced doesn’t necessarily mean they’re aliens, after all. What’s really going on in those Pentagon videos? Will we ever know, or is all of this a distraction?

Huge Dark Object Crosses The Full Moon

The following footage was submitted to YouTube channel Mrmb333 and was shot by an amateur photographer taken a video of the Moon on December 21, 2018.

While filming the full Moon a huge dark object comes into view crossing the moon without changing speed. It looks like it flies slightly behind the Moon at the top.

A remarkable detail; the full Moon occurred at the first day of the winter solstice late Friday afternoon and coincides with the Ursids meteor shower which is visible between December 17 and 25, 2018. A full moon coincides with the first day of winter solistice is a unique event given that the next time a full moon lines up with the winter solstice will be 2094.

The next footage shows the dark circular object at the moment it crosses the moon at the first day of the winter solstice.

What's That Weird Cloud That's Been Looming Over Mars for Weeks?

A 930-mile-long cloud is suspended over one of Mars' volcanoes.

Image: ESA/GCP/UPV/EHU Bilbao

For over a month, Mars orbiters have been watching a weird Martian cloud that resembles a booger and is so large that it can be seen with telescopes on Earth.

Suspended over the western slope of Arsia Mons, an enormous volcano near the red planet’s equator, the elongated cloud stretches for about 930 miles, and was first spotted by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Mars Express orbiter on September 13. Though the cloud looks like the kind of volcanic plumes huffed out by Earth’s active volcanoes, Arsia Mons is long extinct—its last eruption is estimated to have occurred around 50 million years ago.

The volcano still plays a role in shaping the water-ice cloud, though, along with atmospheric dust levels and the Martian seasons.

Image: ESA/GCP/UPV/EHU Bilbao

With its 12-mile-high peak and diameter of nearly 400 miles, Arsia Mons is 30 times more voluminous than the largest volcanoes on Earth. Its humongous bulk condenses and cools air currents as they pass over the summit, creating this “orographic cloud”—a nephologic formation that tend to form over leeward (downwind) slopes—on the western flank of the volcano.

Similar clouds observed in 2009, 2012, and 2015 coincided with the winter season, so it’s not surprising that this one showed up a few weeks before the Martian winter solstice on October 16. Plus, Mars was recently gripped by a dust storm that encircled the planet in June and July that likely boosted the cloud’s visibility and size.

Maybe one day, we’ll be able to view this rare event from the the surface through the eyes of a rover, lander, or even a human crew near Arsia Mons, which has inspired science fiction stories due to its possible cave system. In the meantime, Mars Express will continue snapping raw images of the cloud until it fades away, so you can follow its progress safely from Earth.

Friends Record UFO Pyramid Over The Pentagon

While driving late in the evening on December 19th in Arlington County, Virginia friends recorded an enormous object in the sky, shaped like an Egyptian pyramid. Seen in the distance is the Pentagon, which is located across from the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.

This remains unexplained in its entirety, yet these guys may have captured one of the most spectacular sightings ever in history. The exact time this was recorded isn’t known. Their explanation for recording through their window is, it was cold outside. Perhaps they weren’t thinking clearly either…

Giant Pyramid UFO Sits Above Pentagon, Washington DC! (Video)

Thanks to Greg Ericson for making me aware of this story

@ https://greglericson.wordpress.com/

Apparently a giant UFO has been spotted over the Pentagon. Is it a hoax or real or what is it? Definitely interesting and no msm seems to be reporting it. 

What is the context of the video? How did you guys endup in front of the pentagon? Why were you filming? Why only this video? Was this the only person who had a phone? Just curious as to the context of the video. Thanks in advance. Dizzy A

The Pentagon, in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense. As a symbol of the U.S. military, the phrase The Pentagon is often used as a metonym for the Department of Defense and its leadership. Wikipedia

Alert! Aliens in a Pyramid UFO Were Just Seen Visiting Washington D.C.; Here Comes 911 Number Two

A large pyramid UFO was seen over Washington D.C. on Dec. 19, 2018. This UFO was recorded by many individuals from different parts of the city. I believe this was a sign that 911 number two is in the works and is imminent. First the videos and then I will explain why this event points to 911 number two.

Ok; those are the videos, now for the analysis and why this incident is pointing to the imminence of 911 number two. First I would like to get this straight from the beginning. UFOs are of demonic origin and will play a large part in the great end times deception that will lead to the world installing the antichrist/UFO man as the leader of the world.

Jesus spoke of this; For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Mt 24:24.

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 1 Thes 2:9

For more information about the UFO/demon connection see the post: The God Proof.

Ok, with those facts in mind let’s get back to the Washington D.C. pyramid UFO incident. The sightings were recorded about 4 AM on 12/19/2018.
 

There was a similar pyramid UFO incident over Moscow on Dec 9, 2009 which is detailed at The Big The One.

If you take into account time zones the events were 9 years and 11 days apart. That is a sign that 911 number two is imminent. The reason that I can this is because of a lot of other data is telling me that 911 number two is imminent, which I will show you now.

Here is something else to consider; just hours after the UFO showed up over Washington D.C. President Trump abruptly announced that American troops were withdrawing from Syria.
 

Hmm…a UFO is seen hovering over Washington D.C. and a few hours later our troops are being pulled out of Syria over which Defense Secretary Mattis has just resigned because he believes it is a big mistake.

Now take a look at this piece of data concerning our aircraft carriers reported by The Big The One;
 

• https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fthebigtheone.com%2F%3Fp%3D4406

In light of all the data we ask the following questions; was the Pyramid UFO seen over Washington D.C. 9 years and 11 days past the pyramid UFO seen over Moscow a sign that the highly signaled 911 number two is imminent? And more specifically is the date of the 911 number two 1/7-8/2019?

As always, time will tell. No one knows the future except God, but we are to watch and prepare, for eventually 911 number two as a precursor to WW3 will one day occur.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Mars heeft wél witte Kerst: adembenemende foto’s tonen enorme waterijslaag in Korolev-krater- HLN.be

Bron: Science Alert

De ruimtemissie Mars Express heeft spectaculaire beelden opgeleverd van de krater op Mars. Het Europees Ruimte Agentschap (ESA) gaf de beelden gisteren vrij. “Dit beeld lijkt een grote vlakte ongerepte sneeuw af te beelden – een droom voor elke liefhebber van de eindejaarsperiode”, klinkt het in de bijgevoegde mededeling van de ESA. In werkelijkheid gaat het om een gigantische krater op Mars, gevuld met ijs, niet met sneeuw.

De beelden van de Korolev-krater  zijn gemaakt door de ruimtesonde Mars Express Orbiter. Die bevindt zich sinds Kerstmis 2003 in een baan rond de rode planeet. De ESA noemt deze beelden dan ook “een fantastische viering van die belangrijke mijlpaal” van vijftien jaar geleden. Eigenlijk gaat het om vijf foto’s die samen werden gevoegd tot één beeld,  verduidelijkt de organisatie nog.

De krater is maar liefst 82 kilometer breed en het diepste punt zou zo’n 2 kilometer moeten zijn. Volgens de ESA gat het om een “uitzonderlijk goed bewaarde Marskrater”. De ruimteorganisatie legt ook uit dat de krater gevuld is met ijs door een zogenaamde ‘koudeval’. De lucht die over de krater waait, wordt door het ijs naar beneden getrokken en daalt in temperatuur. Daardoor vormt er zich een permanente koude luchtlaag boven het ijs dat zo nooit kon smelten. Ook niet in de zomer - Mars kent net als de Aarde seizoenen - omdat lucht een slechte warmtegeleider is en als een soort van beschermend schild werkt.

VIDEO. Beangstigende beelden tonen ravage die drone kan aanrichten bij vliegtuig - HLN.be

De onderzoekers van het Impact Physics Lab wilden eigenlijk weten wat het verschil was tussen de impact van een vogel en die van een drone op de vleugel van een vliegtuig. Ze gebruikten daarvoor een vogel uit gel, een doorsnee hobbydrone en de vleugel van een standaard passagiersvliegtuig. Uit de test bleek dat zelfs een kleine drone een ernstig risico vormde voor een vliegtuig.

Volle vlucht

“De drone spatte niet uiteen toen hij de vleugel in volle vlucht raakte”, aldus onderzoeker Kevin Poormon van het Impact Physics Lab. “In de plaats scheurde hij de vleugel open, dreef hij zich naar binnen en beschadigde hij de interne structuur aanzienlijk.”

Het lab doet al 40 jaar tests met vogels en bracht de schade die de dieren kunnen toebrengen al uitgebreid in kaart. “Drones wegen ongeveer evenveel als sommige vogels. Het aantal hobbydrones neemt fors toe en dat betekent dat ook het risico op een rampzalig ongeval stijgt. Het is een kwestie van tijd eer een drone eens aanzienlijke schade aanricht bij een bemand vliegtuig.”

NASA vreest dat het gehackt is maar “gelooft niet” dat ruimtemissies in gevaar zijn - HLN.be 

Het onderzoek begon al op 23 oktober, maar de nota aan het personeel werd pas deze week rondgestuurd. “Na een eerste analyse heeft NASA vastgesteld dat informatie van een van haar servers met persoonlijke informatie van huidig en voormalig personeel mogelijk gehackt is”, klinkt het. “Toen het incident ontdekt werd, heeft onze afdeling internetbeveiliging onmiddellijk onze servers en de informatie erop extra beveiligd.”

Nadeel

De NASA is nu aan het onderzoeken hoe groot het potentiële lek is en wie er allemaal nadeel van ondervonden kan hebben. Het kan gaan om personeel dat bij de NASA gewerkt heeft tussen juli 2006 en oktober van dit jaar. Ruimtemissies zouden niet in gevaar zijn.

“We nemen de bescherming van persoonlijke informatie heel ernstig. De NASA doet er alles aan om ervoor te zorgen dat haar servers afdoende beveiligd zijn en herbekijkt alle processen en procedures om na te gaan of die nog wel toereikend zijn”, klinkt het nog.

Researchers Discover An Eyeball & Teeth Inside The Face on Mars

Dr. Horace Crater was the  Professor of Physics at the University of Tennessee Space Institute, who recently retired after 40 years and, unfortunately, also recently passed away due to natural causes. He was an assistant professor of physics at Vanderbilt before joining the Space Institute in September 1975. He was promoted to professor of physics in September 1987 and has been making breakthroughs in theoretical participle physics ever since.

According to the University of Tennessee Space Institute,  “He has a deep commitment to the study of very fundamental problems in relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, including the relativistic two and three body problem as it applies in atomic, nuclear, and particle physics. Over the years he has taught a wide variety of advanced courses including quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, solid state physics, and general relativity. He has published numerous refereed papers in the most prestigious physics journals. He enjoys teaching new things as he learns new branches of physics.”

Why am I writing about him? Perhaps because he’s one of the most recent examples (out of many throughout the years) who has been pushing the boundaries of false information published in science, something we see too much of today. For a reputable academician to even take on the ‘face on Mars’ subject is quite brave, but far from foolish. Dr. Crater, along with his research colleagues professor Stanley McDaniel and Ananda Sirisena, published a paper not long ago in the Journal of Space Exploration titled “The Mounds of Cydonia: Elegant Geology, or Tetrahedral Geometry and Reactions of Pythagoras and Dirac.”

A study that’s added to the already robust evidence pointing to “artificial surface interventions” on Mars as the study states. The main premise of the article is that these structures, if indeed artificial, “provide an elegant and concise way for an intelligent species to transmit to another intelligence evidence that it understands the basics of tetrahedral geometry, prime numbers, and the quantum mechanics of the electron’s spin, thereby giving additional evidence for the possibility of intelligent intervention.”

They found that the odds against change that these mounds were simply natural formations were hundreds of millions to one…in some cases, billions to one.  What really stands out is the fact that they also point out to the existing information which is already available suggesting artificial surface interventions on Mars.”

We (Joe Martino, Founder of CE & Arjun Walia, Senior Writer) recently sat down and did a podcast (access our podcasts here and our Explorers Lounge here) with Ananda Sirisena, who is one of the others of this study, as well as the new one shown below. You can listen to and access that podcast in its entirety, here.

The study above primarily dealt with the mounds in the Cydonia region on Mars, and it was published. The one below was sent to me by one of the researchers, and unfortunately, Dr. Crater passed away before they could attempt to have this one published as well, as a follow-up to their first one. Anytime something like this is published in a mainstream scientific journal, by such credible and scholarly minds, it’s going to raise a few eyebrows. No matter how true something is, or how much evidence exists to at least entertain the hypothesis, if something goes against the grain or defies the current accepted framework of knowledge, it may not be published.

New Face On Mars Study

This is why I think it’s important to present to you what Dr. Crater was working on after he published the paper above because it no doubt captured his heightened interest. The new paper was called The “Face on Mars” –  Four Decades Later.

The abstract reads as follows:

“The anomalous characteristics of the so-called “Face on Mars” feature, as seen in the 1976 Viking image, was debunked 20 years ago by reference to a 1998 image taken by the Mars Global Surveyor. However ten years later, in 2008, a far superior image was obtained that shows details consistent with the original of 1976. By means of side-by-side comparisons, we show how this 2008 image gives an improvement in identification of the allegedly anomalous details.” 

The picture below was taken in 1976, by NASA

This one below was taken by Mark Carlotto, an image scientist with 30 years of experience in satellite remote sensing and digital image processing, who studied optics, signal, and image processing at Carnegie-Mellon University from 1972-1981, where he received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering. He’s had several positions in academia and industry. Here are some of the peer-reviewed papers he’s authored and c0-authored prior to this one.

It was published in Applied Options, reference: Digital Imagery Analysis Of Unusual Martian Surface Features – Applied Optics, Volume 27, No. 10

Members of the Society For Planetary SETI Research (SPSR) have, Mark, being one of them, also recently published a paper in the Journal of Space Exploration about certain features on the far side of the moon that appear in the crater Paracelsus C. Titled “Image Analysis of Unusual Structures on the Far Side of the Moon in the Crater Paracelsus C,” it argues that these features might be artificial in origin, meaning someone other than a human being built them and put them there.

What’s so special about the image below is that, upon enhancement, it should teeth like structures within the mouth. Keep in mind that we’re looking at a structure that’s approximately 2 miles thick.

Below is a screenshot of a section of the study sent to me, describing what took place with the image that was released in 1998…

The effect of the 1998 image of the facial feature, released by MSSS, has been to draw mainstream attention away from a feature on Mars that could be of great cultural value to humanity and to our future search for extraterrestrial intelligence. SETI will have to expand away from only a radio signal search to searching for planetary artifacts as a standard procedure. Perhaps our discovery of ETI may be closer to home than we ever thought possible.

The study then goes on to compare a picture from a decade later, which seems very strange because they look so different. What’s really going on here? Is NASA changing/airbrushing their pictures?

Shown below is the MRO CTX image: B01_010143_2216, acquired on 24th September 2008, from a
distance of just over 311 km. This image has not been processed and is presented here as obtained from
the MRO HiRise website. (The incidence and emission angles are shown in Table 1.)

According to the authors, the image below “shows clearly an ‘eyeball’ in the eye cavity and ‘teeth’ in the mouth area.”

As you can see, they, among many others, are quite convinced…

Corroborating Information That Puts The Nail In The Coffin

The study makes a good point with its conclusion, outlining how the focus of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence has primarily been in terms of radio SETI. On a side note, that thought reminded me of this document, showing possible interception of communications from extraterrestrial intelligence by the National Security Agency (NSA).  SETI should be considering a lot more than simple radio signals.

Despite not getting any mainstream attention, the idea that this debate was put to rest, as told by the mainstream decades ago, is simply not true at all.

The Journal of Scientific Exploration, in 1991, published a paper by Vincent DiPietro, Greg Molenaar and John Brandenburg espousing The Cydonia Hypothesis. The abstract read, “Evidence suggesting a past humanoid civilization has been found at several sites on Mars. In particular, what appear to be large carved faces, with similar details, have been found at two separate sites. Together with geochemical and geological evidence that suggests Mars was once more Earth-like in climate, the images of the objects support the Cydonia Hypothesis: that Mars once lived as the Earth now lives, and that it was once the home of an indigenous humanoid intelligence.”

That’s just one example, there are also those who have been quite outspoken, and you can see more examples with regards to this in the articles linked below, written earlier, but also go into great detail on the subject. So, if interested be sure to check them out and give them a read.

• A CE Podcast About The Face On Mars & Strange Structures on The Moon – What’s Going On Up There? 
• Researchers Find Tetrahedral Geometry & Reflection of Pythagoras & Dirac In The Mounds of Cydonia, On Mars
• Shocking Insinuation About Carl Sagan & Extraterrestrials Made By X-NASA Astronaut

The Takeaway

When contemplating topics as such, we always have to keep in mind that, as NASA astronaut and Princeton physics professor Brian O’Leary once told the world, “there is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us, for a very long time.” He is one of the hundreds of people considered “credible” who have testified to the idea that intelligent beings have been visiting us. On top of that, we also have verified footage recently released from the Pentagon, and millions of pages of UFO released by dozens of governments worldwide.

We may not know what’s going on, but it’s quite clear that what we are told is happening, is not. There is a lot of information to consider here beyond the study, and when contemplating extraterrestrial life in general. It seems that there are a lot of people out there who believe without a doubt that we are being visited, have been visited and that this is being covered up. Human beings aren’t stupid, and all of these people aren’t simply believing this for no reason.

The truth is out there, and it has huge perceptual, consciousness, spiritual, historical, and scientific consequences. This type of thing really does leave no aspect of humanity untouched.

WAT IS ER AAN DE HAND MET DE MAAN? ( VIDEO )

De maan is een object aan de hemel die door iedereen over de hele wereld wordt gezien en vreemde dingen vallen dan ook al snel op. 

We weten hoe normaal gesproken dit hemellichaam eruit ziet, maar wat als dat opeens verandert?

Als er één hemellichaam is dat we allemaal van dichtbij kennen, dan is dat wel de maan. Ook al kijken we niet zo erg veel naar de lucht misschien, we weten toch wel ongeveer hoe de maan eruit moet zien. 

Het beeld verandert natuurlijk ook met de verschillende fases van de maan, van bijna onzichtbaar tot de bekende volle maan. Wat je dan ziet vanaf de aarde is te zien op de volgende afbeelding.

Maar wat als dat beeld opeens verandert?

De afgelopen dagen heeft de Youtube gebruiker Mr. MBB333 diverse e-mails ontvangen van abonnee's die zeggen dat de maan er heel anders uitziet dan normaal.

Zoals bijvoorbeeld op de volgende afbeelding die genomen is ergens in Amerika:

Het lijkt wel alsof de maan op haar rug is gevallen. Iets dat ook blijkt uit de volgende opname, eveneens genomen in Amerika.

Daar tegenover staat een opname die is gemaakt aan de andere kant van de wereld en wel in Australië waar je precies het omgekeerde ziet.

Mr. MBB3333 heeft gecontroleerd via bestaande sterrenprogramma's hoe de maan er op die locaties en die tijden uit had moeten zien en dat is niet zoals te zien op de afbeeldingen.

De maan had normaal gesproken verticaal "afgesneden" dienen te worden en niet horizontaal zoals nu het geval is.

De enige conclusie volgens Mr. MBB333 mogelijk is, is dat de maan ten opzichte van de aarde van positie is veranderd. En als hij gelijk heeft, dan is natuurlijk de grote vraag wat ervoor zou kunnen zorgen dat een hemellichaam zoals de maan van positie verandert? Als er lezers zijn met ideeën dan horen we dat natuurlijk graag.

Once they’re far enough away from Earth, space probes often turn around and take a photo of out planet to show off its blue sapphire-like sparkle. Those of is living here know it’s nice but not a gem. However, it turns out other planets really are. Astronomers have recently discovered exoplanets formed in high temperatures that caused them to be covered with sapphires, rubies and other gemstones. Does this abundance of precious stones let guys living on these planets off the hook in Valentine’s Day?

“Perhaps it shimmers red to blue like rubies and sapphires, because these gemstones are aluminium oxides which are common on the exoplanet.”

Caroline Dorn, astrophysicist at the Institute for Computational Science of the University of Zurich and co-author of a report on the discovery published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, is describing HD219134 b – a super-Earth in the constellation Cassiopeia making tight three-day orbits around a star just 21 light years from Earth. That three-day year means HD219134 b formed in a much hotter environment than Earth, causing it to have a different density and a different abundance of elements. In a University of Zurich press release, Dorn explains that computer models give a good picture of HD219134 b,

“Many elements are still in the gas phase there and the planetary building blocks have a completely different composition.”

Instead of rock-forming elements like iron, magnesium and silicon, they found no iron but plenty of calcium and aluminum, along with lesser quantities of magnesium and silicon. That explains why the planet should be covered with sapphires –these are the crystallized form of the mineral corundum, which consists of aluminum oxide (α-Al2O3) and trace amounts of other elements that give them their distinctive blue color. If the dominant trace element is chromium, the combination with aluminum oxide forms rubies instead, which HD219134 b could also be covered with.

Sapphires

Will the first flight for HD219134 b be leaving before your upcoming anniversary? Even if it did, HD219134 b is not a hospitable place to be. Dorn estimates that it and two other similar super-Earths orbiting other stars could have a surface temperature of up to 3,000 degrees F. If you can stand the heat, you may sink in its low density (20% lower than Earth) and won’t be able to stand the cosmic radiation – lacking any iron ore means HD219134 b has no magnetic field to protect the atmosphere which, if it is there at all, will have a different composition than Earth’s.

However, any guy who has forgotten a wife or girlfriend’s birthday or anniversary will be willing to put up with those inconveniences to bring back a cargo bay full of sapphires and rubies, right? Unless it’s the diamond anniversary. Then you might want to visit super-Earth 55 Cancri e, the so-called “diamond planet” discovered in 2012. Except … Dorn’s study also looked at 55 Cancri e and determined it probably is covered with sapphires and rubies instead of carbon-based diamonds.

For those on a budget or who can’t wait for the first HD219134 b mission, perhaps Dorn can start looking for closer super-Earths covered with chocolate.

The anomalous sights and sounds in Americas skies continue this week as a strange light appeared in the air over California, prompting the Air Force to cancel a rocket launch and thoroughly freaking out Californians. According to local news reports, the light appeared at around 5:30 p.m. local time and persisted for several seconds. Dozens of motorists and residents caught the strange streak on camera, blowing up social media with posts of the curious apparition.

NORAD immediately announced they were investigating the event, while the National Weather Service released a statementproposing that the light was a unique atmospheric phenomenon known as a noctilucent cloud. These cloudlike formations are caused by ice crystals and dust particles left behind by rocket launches, aircraft activity, or meteor explosions in the upper atmosphere. At dusk, the low angle of the sun can illuminate these streaks and create the breathtaking phenomena similar to what was seen above California.

Noctilucent clouds left behind by a SpaceX launch.

While the streak was certainly similar in appearance to a meteor impact or space debris burning up in the atmosphere, the coincidental timing with a nearby rocket launch is somewhat odd. The U.S. Air Force and United Launch Alliance were set to launch a Delta IV rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base at the exact same time the lights appeared over California. That rocket was supposed to carry an undisclosed spy satellite into orbit – a spy satellite that has been delayed on three previous launch attempts.

A SpaceX Falcon launching from Vandenberg AFB in 2017.

ULA says the launch was scrubbed due to a hydrogen leak in one of the fuel tanks, but something about the timing of these two events is just a bit too coincidental. With all of the intrigue and chest-thumping going on in space right now, there’s no telling if the lights were part of some sort of sabotage or surveillance attempt by a rival state or non-state actor. On the other hand, could the Air Force have tried to say this launch was cancelled when it in fact put another eye in the sky?

Of course, it very likely could have been exactly what the National Weather Service said it was. Several other events suggesting meteor impacts have occurred in California lately, although the verdict is still out on some of those too. I’ve been saying for a while now that all of the mysterious booms and recent suspicious satellite activity are likely related; could this incident be another hint that a shadow space war is already being waged?

Beautiful infrared photo of Saturn like you have never seen it before. UFO Sighting News.

Source photo: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/171/majestic-saturn-in-the-infrared/

Here is an amazing photo I found in the NASA index of Saturn. Its an unaltered perfect view of the infrared light hitting Saturn from the sun. The sun produces lots of infrared...thus the shadow behind Saturn, however the human eye cannot see in the infrared spectrum, so only with cameras with special filters can we get these amazing shots. Also IR cameras are great for hunting UFOs in our skies. The infrared filter makes day time hunting easy because anything cloaked from our eyes will be visible in the infrared spectrum. 
Such a beautiful photo of Saturn.

UFO over Australia produces small drones seeding our planet with them on night vision, Dec 2018, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Dec 21, 2018
Location of sighting: Melbourne, Australia

This UFO was caught by Youtube UFO Lou who was using a night vision camera. Something that everyone seemed to miss about the video is that it is dropping seeds. What I mean is that at 50 seconds into the video I notice this UFO starts dropping smaller drones across our planet. Its also being protected by a smaller drone that is flying in front of the main UFO. Cool catch. I haven't seen a UFO seeding in a long time. About ten years ago there was a video of a daytime sighting of a UFO large metal orb dropping out similar size orbs over Tokyo, I will include the 2010 video below.

NASA WEIGERT VERKLARING TE GEVEN VOOR VREEMD OBJECT NABIJ DE ZON ( VIDEO )

De afgelopen paar jaar is er via de NASA telescopen al meer dan 50 keer een vreemd object te zien geweest nabij de zon. 

Het lijkt op een enorme engel met gespreide armen en ondanks de vele vragen, komt er geen officiële uitleg over wat dit zou kunnen zijn en nu verschijnt het opnieuw.

Er doet zich een vreemd verschijnsel voor in de buurt van onze zon. Een verschijnsel dat regelmatig terugkeert en waar nooit geen officiële verklaring voor is gegeven door NASA.

Het is een object dat regelmatig op afbeeldingen van de NASA ruimtetelescopen verschijnt en eruit ziet als een soort engel met gespreide armen.

Voor de één is het een gigantisch groot moederschip dat regelmatig de zon bezoekt om bijvoorbeeld energie te tanken enanderen denken weer in een heel andere richting. Het zal niemand verbazen dat dit de mening is van ufoloog Scott Waring en ondanks dat NASA weigert om antwoord te geven op de vraag wat dit zou kunnen zijn, waagt Scott opnieuw een poging.

Voor anderen vertoont het veel overeenkomsten met de afbeeldingen van een gevleugelde planeet zoals die voorkomen op de Sumerische kleitabletten.

Ook in april van dit jaar verscheen hetzelfde object en toen schreven wij daarover onder andere het volgende:

Enkele dagen geleden verscheen de volgende afbeelding op de SOHO ruimtetelescoop van NASA. Iets dat heel erg lijkt op een gevleugelde planeet.

Een gevleugelde planeet, waar we eerder het volgende over schreven: 

Wat opvalt in de laatste foto is dat de rode planeet Nibiru er inderdaad uitziet als een soort gevleugelde planeet. 

Volgens sommige onderzoekers worden deze “vleugels” veroorzaakt door de magnetosfeer van onze zon, waardoor de passage van Nibiru in de oudheid werd omschreven als een monsterlijke rode vuurbol die het pad van een komeet volgt. 

De gevleugelde planeet, tevens de thuisbasis van onze verre voorouders.

Een vreemd regelmatig terugkerend object dat eruit ziet zoals onze verre voorouders de planeet Nibiru uitbeeldden en NASA die weigert om enige uitleg te geven.

Wanneer die uitleg dan misschien toch ooit komt, dan zal het waarschijnlijk worden verklaard als een "technisch mankement" aan de camera.

There are some stories that just scream “Wait, what?” This is one of them. A high school biohacker in France claims he created a DNA sequence out of passages from the Bible and the Koran, converted them into previously unknown proteins and injected himself with them. Did he break any commandments?

A biohacker injected himself with DNA sequence made from Bible and Koran verses

GETTY – CONTRIBUTOR

“Since it is possible to convert digital information into DNA, I wondered whether it would be possible to convert a religious text into DNA and to inject it in a living being. It is the first time that someone injects himself [with] macromolecules developed from a text. It is very symbolic even if it does not have much interest.”

Not much interest? Adrien Locatelli of Grenoble, France, has the Internet’s attention with his self-published paper on what has to be the most creative, if not dangerous, experiment of the year. DNA code is represented by a linear, non-overlapping sequence of the nitrogenous bases Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T). The four letters are used to create three-letter words strung together to represent a single amino acid in a polypeptide chain. Locatelli claims he created a new DNA sequence using letters he got from the Bible and the Koran.

How? He started at the beginning – Genesis. Locatelli claims he replaced every character in the Hebrew Book of Genesis with a word using the characters AGCT (there are 64 possible combinations). He says he left out Genesis 2:10-14, 5, and 7:1-5 because they were “controversial.” (Genesis 2:10-14 mentions the unknown rivers Pishon and Gihon; Genesis 5 is the family tree from Adam to Noah; and Genesis 7:1-5 is the story of Noah building an ark.) Locatelli then did the same thing with the Arabic letters from the 13th chapter from the Koran, the Surah Ar-Ra’d.

With this new DNA sequence, Locatelli says he used a home gene engineering kit (possibly like this one) to edit the DNA provided into the new proteins (it’s not clear if he created two or one), then inject the proteins into his legs. And the results? Did he see God? Adam? Noah?

“The subcutaneous injection of the vector VB180513-1026kbp in my left thigh only caused at the injection site a minorinflammation which persisted a few day and the subcutaneous injection of the peptide RS27 12-16 in my right thigh provoked nothing.”

Despite that, even with the religious overtones, experts and Internet commenters give Locatelli’s strange experiment a big “Kids – for God’s sake — DON’T try this at home.” Did he take a huge risk? Definitely. Did he break any commandments by taking God’s name in vein? Probably not. (Hopefully that pun doesn’t either.) Did he break any laws of nature? Well, he’s still here.

Will he win the award for the Dumbest Thing Anybody Did in 2018? He’s definitely in the running.

China and Russia are working together to create something similar to the officially-released purpose of the American High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). Five experiments launched in June with the purpose of modifying the ionosphere above the Earth for both communication and military purposes. They were able to modify a zone more than 310 mile above a small Russian town in Eastern Europe called Vasilsursk, according to Chinese media. During the modification, the small town experienced an electric spike, which carried 10 times more negatively-charged subatomic particles than other regions.

A second experiment heated that portion of the atmosphere – a portion roughly half the size of Great Britain – more than 200 degrees Fahrenheit, due to particle flux. Those particles were shot into the ionosphere from a Soviet-Era atmospheric heating station in the small town called Sura. It was also utilized during the Cold War. This was done by an array of high-power antennae designed to spike the higher levels of the atmosphere with a large amount of microwave radiation. According to the Chinese report, the peak power of these waves was 260 megawatts, which is enough juice to light a small city.

China, which does not make a habit of working on new technology and military projects with other foreign powers, declared the results of the experiment were “satisfactory.” Measurements of it were taken by an orbiting Chinese electromagnetic surveillance satellite called Zhangheng-1. It was able to switch to a “burst mode” to collect data samples every half-second. This was to ensure the data had a high resolution.

While this experiment has raised a lot of controversy, the facility from which it was launched was built in 1981 for this expressed purpose. Control of the ionosphere and  for clandestine communications and detection of things ranging from submarines to natural resources, according to a Popular Mechanics article, which called the Chinese chase for a HAARP of their own a chase for weapons instead of science.

High-energy microwaves, such as those recently discharged by Russia and China in Russia allow the controller to manipulate communications. The Soviets used it to enhance submarine communication, the Americans were accused of using it for everything from manufactured earthquakes and tsunamis to weather manipulation – but these claims have been heavily disputed by official sources as “conspiracy theories.” In reality, they can penetrate ground or water as deep as 328 feet and even disrupt satellite communication.

HAARP was likely built by the Americans for the purpose of submarine and satellite communications when it was constructed in the 1990s in Alaska. It was able to produce about one gigawatt of power, which is four times more than the Sura experiment in June.

Not to be outdone, however, China is building its own – and much bigger – facility in Sanya inside the Hainan Province. Critics of this believe such a facility will be disruptive to international air travel from China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and other nations flying over that city.

Tales of what have become known as the Black Eyed Children have now been circulating for a couple of decades. The witnesses are many. The cases are creepy and bizarre. But, it’s fair to say that we still don’t have a solid answer as to what they are or what they want. So, today I’m focusing on the extraterrestrial/UFO theory. It’s worth noting an intriguing UFO connection to the very strange saga of the Black Eyed Children: they have deep parallels to the notorious Men in Black, who have, for decades, terrorized and intimidated into silence numerous witnesses to UFOs. Just like the BECs, the Men in Black have a propensity for knocking on doors late at night. The two mirror each other in other fashions, too: like their child counterparts, the MIB will not enter a home until they are specifically invited to do so (shades of vampire lore, legend and very often movies). Both the MIB and the BEC wear black. Both wear head-gear: hoodies for the Black Eyed Children, and 1950s-era fedoras for the MIB. And there is another intriguing issue: very often the Men in Black wear thick, wraparound, black sunglasses.

I have to wonder if this MIB/sunglasses angle is done not just to provoke a menacing atmosphere, but to mask a pair of emotion-free, solid, black eyes of the type that the Black Eyed Children are described as having. In that sense, and just perhaps, the Men in Black and the Black Eyed Children are one and the same: one in adult form and the other in child form, but both following the same secret agenda – whatever that may really be. So, where does that all leave us? Well, it admittedly leaves us with a lot of questions and not a great deal else. But they are questions that a certain, acclaimed and dedicated researcher of the Black Eyed has done his very best to resolve.

Undoubtedly the leading investigator in this field, and the author of the book, The Black Eyed Children, David Weatherlyhas collected and studied dozens of such cases, demonstrating the sheer scale of these weird and unsettling events. David’s work has addressed a variety of theories for the origins and presence of the BECs: that they might be demonic in nature, or predatory spirits, or possibly even products of the human mind, given some semblance of physical life in the real world. Notably, David has also spent much time researching the theory that the Black Eyed Children have nothing less than an alien lineage. David cites the case of two women, Ann and Marcia, who have both had alien abduction experiences and who have also both encountered the BECs – and, in Marcia’s case, in the now-typical “knocking on the door and demanding to be let in” situation.

Of strange cases such as these, David says: “Why would an alien race want, or need, to create hybrid beings? There are a number of proposed theories to explain why such an experiment may be taking place. These theories range from a dying race that needs an injection of fresh DNA in order to survive, to time travelers attempting to correct a mistake made in their past (which is our present).”

I will leave the final words on this issue UFO-Black Eyed Children controversy to David. They are words that fit comfortably with what we have seen so far: “An even more sinister theory that has followers, postulates that the grays are actually attempting to take over our world by slowly breeding us out and phasing in beings with alien DNA. Over time the human race will fade away to be replaced by the ‘superior’ DNA of the gray aliens, adherents say.”

UFO or Drone shut down Gatwick Airport London - 750 flights being cancelled

Complete chaos at Gatwick Airport in London since a Drone/UFO flown over the airport. The military have been deployed in the hope of bringing an end to the drone/UFO chaos at Gatwick airport.

One passenger took a video showing what appears to be the Unidentified Flying Object at the airport.

Gatwick airport has been closed since Wednesday night when an unidentified flying object repeatedly flown over the airfield.

Despite several methods they were unable to localize the source from where the unknown flying object came from.

Even they brought in snipers, hight-tech jammers, tracking devices to catch up signals, laser-laded drones to find the source but till now without success which leads to the question whether it is indeed a Drone or could it be a UFO?

The mystery enters the third day (Friday) and still they cannot solve the Drone/UFO incident. The airport remains closed and the chaos is complete. Tens of thousands of travelers have been affected after 750 flights being cancelled.

Update:

• Gatwick drone/UFO chaos: Source drone/UFO not yet found but flights resume as airport reopens.

Alien giving bird to the universe in Carina Nebula, ESA link, Dec 21, 2018, Photos, UFO sighting News.

Date of discovery: December 21, 2018

Location of discovery: Carina Nebula

Source photo: 

• https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic0910e/

Here is a figure I found int the Carina Nebula. Its a appears male with its short hair and rugged facial features. Its wearing a rob that has a high collar and long sleeves. Its holding  up a hand with a single finger sticking up...perhaps giving the bird to the rest of the universe or maybe its a message less angry, like a come hither and meet us finger, or even a...we originated from that planet pointing finger. Whatever its doing, one thing is clear, it was made by a type 5 civilization. If you look carefully at the back of the person, you will see the many creases of the robe he is wearing. 

 

Ever wanted to send a message out into space to aliens? I have...using some three different giant radio telescopes in different parts of the world. My four books and dozens of letters are now shooting across the universe at the speed of light. But that was about 5 years ago, the radio telescopes no longer do that for people.  But the aliens that made this are sending a message to the rest of the universe with something so incredibly big that they would have to literally be blind not to notice it...or in early stages of evolution. 

Do you remember I was talking about different civilization levels last week? Humanity still has not reached a type 1 civilization level yet, but what we are looking at is an alien figure in a nebula made by a type 5 civilization...which can manipulate space and time, basically, godly in every way.

Triangle UFO filmed over Warren, Michigan 20-Dec-2018

This interesting footage of a triangular-shaped UFO was filmed over Warren, MI on 20th December 2018.

Witness report: 

Witnessed a slow moving hovering triangular craft with 3 distinct lights at each corner and a red bliinking light in the center. 
Driving south on Hoover road just south of 11 mile service drive when i witnessed a craft moving slowly in the sky; at first i thought this was a helicopter because of how slow it was moving through the sky. As it hovered slowly i stopped my car and took out my phone to video record what i was actually seeing. It was NOT a helicopter, did not hear any noise. It wasnt fast like a passenger aircraft. At hoover road it appeared to have changed direction and the craft flew towards the western sky. The direction change wasnt sudden or onset. The flight path of the object seemed to match the paths of other jets landing at Detroit Metro Airport but i can say for certain this was not a plane. Look at the video, it’s dark, yes, but you can see that it does not appear to be a plane. 
This is my second time witnessing a flying triangular craft. The first one was witnessed in Birmingham, MI.

The sugar that makes up DNA could be made in space

Lab experiments simulating the iciness and radiation in a star nursery created deoxyribose

BY LISA GROSSMAN 

 

ORIGIN STORY  The frigid and radiation-rich conditions in stellar nurseries like the Eagle Nebula, shown here in an image from the European Space Agency’s Herschel Space Telescope, could have created the sugar that makes up DNA.

HILL/SPIRE/PACS/HERSCHEL/ESA, MOTTE, HOBYS KEY PROGRAMME CONSORTIUM, BOULANGER/XMM-NEWTON-SOC/ EPIC/ XMM-NEWTON/ESA$

Parts of DNA can form in space.

For the first time, scientists have made 2-deoxyribose, the sugar that makes up the backbone of DNA, under cosmic conditions in the lab by blasting ice with radiation. The result, reported December 18 in Nature Communications, suggests that there are several ways for prebiotic chemistry to take place in space, and supports the idea that the stuff of life could have been delivered to Earth from elsewhere.

“It tells us that this process happens everywhere, at least in our galaxy,” says astrochemist Michel Nuevo of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif.

Nuevo and his colleagues cooled ices of frozen water and methanol to about –260° Celsius inside a vacuum chamber and blasted the ice with ultraviolet light, mimicking the conditions found in interstellar clouds. Warming the irradiated ices simulated what happens when a young star is born. After analyzing the ice’s contents, the team identified 2-deoxyribose, as well as several other kinds of sugars made in similar experiments in the past (SN: 4/30/16, p. 18).

Experiments that had made ribose, the sugar of RNA, suggested that the sugars could be built up from reactions involving the simple molecule formaldehyde, which has been found in comets (SN Online: 10/23/14). But those reactions always lead to sugars with more oxygen molecules than deoxyribose has, Nuevo says. “The fact that we made deoxyribose points to another kind of mechanism.”

Nuevo and his colleagues also found simple deoxy sugars in meteorite samples, but not deoxyribose. That could suggest that, although deoxyribose can form in ices that predate stars, the sugar is not stable in the rocks that ultimately form planets.

Two ongoing asteroid missions might be able to help figure out why. Japan’s Hayabusa2 mission (SN Online: 6/27/18) and NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission (SN Online: 12/10/18) will bring samples back to Earth, where scientists can search them for signs of deoxyribose and other biologically important molecules.

UFO Filmed Over San Francisco From Plane

After reports about Ireland UFO sighting, a passenger plane encounters a bright flying object above San Francisco.

Conspiracy theorists think that the glowing unidentified flying object observed in the skies of San Francisco is substantial evidence of extraterrestrial life.

Just a few days after three pilots reported observing a UFO in the skies above Ireland, a passenger airplane has now seemingly spotted a mysterious flying object over San Francisco.

YouTube user Joel Cardoso originally uploaded the clip of the strange sighting to YouTube and the video gained popularity after conspiracy theory YouTube channel Mavi777 shared it.

The video shows a glowing orb hovering in the skies and staying static throughout the running time of the clip. The witness who took the video claimed that it was shot during the journey from Miami to California.

However, experts argue that the UFO in the video could be either reflection from the airplane window or ball lightning.

Extraterrestrial enthusiasts were into a frenzy a few days back when three pilots reported their UFO sightings while in contact with the Shannon Air Traffic Control.

A female British pilot first reported the bizarre event involving a speeding UFO that came up along the left side of the airplane before it quickly moved to the North.

Another pilot claimed to have witnessed somewhat the same thing stating that the UFO was speeding at twice the speed of sound.

The Newest Mars Base Concept Is a Giant Igloo at the Martian North Pole

A team of scientists at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne outline plans for a nine-month surface mission to the Martian North.

Image: EPFL

The dream of establishing a human colony on Mars goes back decades, and it will likely be at least many more decades before anything comes to fruition. But the immense technical challenge presented by human exploration of Mars has not deterred scientists from sketching out optimal strategies for long-term habitation on the Red Planet.

The latest iteration of the long tradition of speculative Mars bases is now in development at the Swiss university École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). This concept focuses on constructing an igloo-like structure at the planet’s north pole. Forthcoming research in Acta Astronautica led by Anne-Marlene Rüede, a student at EPFL’s Space Engineering Center (eSpace), describes how ice and dust at Mars’s poles could be harvested to supply water, fuel, and building materials for a future base.

“The poles may pose more challenges in the beginning, but they are the best location for the long term since they harbor natural resources that we may be able to use,” said Rüede in a statement.

The modular structures of the EPFL design—a core, capsules, and a dome—would be constructed in advance by robots from onsite materials. The pressure-sealed dome would be coated in an ice shell three-meters thick for insulation and protection from radiation and meteorite impacts, which are common on the Martian surface.

Image: EPFL

Once living spaces and life support systems are in place, the EPFL team envisions a six-person human crew voyaging to the planet during the six-month-long Martian northern summer, when sunlight is abundant for solar power production (the Martian calendar has longer seasons than Earth’s calendar, because the Martian year lasts 687 Earth days).

The crew would spend around nine months further developing the artificial habitat. Some supplies would have to be sent from Earth, and would be intercepted in Mars orbit by a local base spacecraft fueled by Martian resources.

• Read More: ‘Surviving Mars’ Taught Me I Would Not Survive on Mars

Much like Lockheed Martin’s Mars Base Camp design or SpaceX’s Mars colony concept, the EPFL habitat aims to anticipate the best procedures to establish a long-term human presence on Mars. Whether any of these concepts will ultimately get road-tested on Mars remains up in the air, however, so don’t get too attached to the idea of kickin’ it like some Martian Santa Claus in an igloo at the planet’s north pole.

This morning, the European Space Agency (ESA) released a fascinating satellite image of Mars, taken by the agency's Mars Express orbiter. It depicts the planet's Arabia Terra region, which may ring a bell with fans of Andy Weir's The Martian.

This densely cratered tract of land, which is about 4,500 kilometers wide, made for a handy plot device in Weir's novel. Now the ESA picture demonstrates that its literary cred is far from the only interesting thing about it.

For instance, take the two bluish patches located in Arabia Terra's craters which, at first glance, look almost like water-rich oases in the Martian desert. Alas, this is only a mirage effect of the orbiter's perspective and image processing—in reality, the spots are windswept accumulations of dark, basalt-rich sediments. These minerals are deposited into the craters by the planet's colossal dust storms, which can enshroud the entire planet for weeks at a time, kicking up massive amounts of debris and eroding Martian surface features.

Arabia Terra is a great place to study the geological fallouts of these stormy ragers, because it is among the most ancient regions on the planet. Billions of years of cumulative dust erosion and sedimentary deposits are laid bare across this battered landscape, providing a comprehensive window into Arabia Terra's tumultuous past.

The region's more recent craters—like the one created by a meteorite impact about 12 years ago—boast sharper edges than older impact scars that have been sanded down over time. This diverse collection of young and old surface features distinguishes Arabia Terra as one of the most geologically distinct regions on Mars.

According to a 2007 paper published in the journal Icarus, Arabia Terra boasts mysterious outflow channels with no obvious origins, and evidence of a rich paleotectonic history, while more recent studies suggest it was home to supervolcanoessome 3.7 billion years ago, further upping the region's mystique. In short: Arabia Terra is a bizarre jumble of geological oddities that contextualize Mars's past in ways that few other regions can.

As weird as the area is, however, images like this one from Mars Express hit home that alien worlds are subject to much of the same natural processes as Earth, just with altered parameters. Indeed, Mars isn't the only extraterrestrial environment that has been visibly shaped by winds and storms—Saturn's moon Titan is also sculpted by these processes.

While neither of these worlds are hospitable to humans (for now), the fact that scientists continue to observe familiar phenomena in our own solar system bodes well for finding Earthlike environments elsewhere in the universe.

And though at this point, only fictional astronauts have visited Arabia Terra, that may soon change given NASA's recent ambitious commitments to putting a human on Mars in the 2030s. The region is tantalizing enough from the Mars Express's perspective in outer space. Perhaps it's time we took a closer look.

The Martian North Pole Is a 'Winter Wonderland' Right Now, New Photo Shows

Korolev crater contains a permanent ice field that stretches over a mile deep.

The Mars Express orbiter has sent a festive postcard back to Earth just in time for the holidays. On Thursday, the European Space Agency (ESA) released the spacecraft’s view of a “winter wonderland” of ice inside Korolev crater.

The crater is located at the Martian north pole, so it may as well be the imaginary headquarters for the Martian Santa Claus. It may also be a not-so-imaginary home for humans one day, as igloo-like domes at the Martian north pole have been floated as one possibility for inhabiting the planet.

The image is especially timely because Mars Express will celebrate its 15th anniversary in Martian orbit on Christmas Day.

Named for the influential Soviet rocket engineer Sergey Korolev, the impact crater is 82 kilometers (50 miles) in diameter and contains a permanent ice field that stretches over a mile deep. Mars Express captured its view with its High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), creating a composite image out of five orbital passes over the region.

Korolev crater was also recently imaged by the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), which is jointly operated by ESA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos.

The TGO’s Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) instrument captured a topographical view of the formation on April 4, which shows the slope of the crater in blues and purples.

The ice field is chilled by a “cold trap” of air that insulates the crater and keeps it perennially filled with frozen water. It would be a great place to go for a skate, so long as you don’t mind low gravity, unbreathable air, and high doses of radiation.

Cool crater portraits aren’t the only seasonal gifts we’re getting from our Martian robots this week. NASA also announced that its InSight lander, which touched down on Mars on November 26, successfully placed its seismometer on the surface with its robotic arm on Wednesday.

This marked the first time that a seismometer has been placed on an alien world. This instrument is designed to pick up “Marsquakes” caused by geological faults or asteroid impacts, like the one that formed Korolev crater.

"InSight's timetable of activities on Mars has gone better than we hoped," said InSight project manager Tom Hoffman in a statement. "Getting the seismometer safely on the ground is an awesome Christmas present."

Egyptian CURSE? Six archaeologists DIE mysteriously within MONTHS of opening sarcophagus

SIX archaeologists died mysteriously just months after they opened up an ancient Egyptian coffin, a bombshell documentary has revealed.

Baseball has its Oldtimers games. Golf has its Seniors Tour. Dancing with the Stars brings back past champions. Perhaps the Fortean world needs a place for those classic old sightings that keep coming back and baffling many – even when the cause of the event is usually known or easy to explain. The best example of this creatures falling from the sky. While cows, elephants, pythons and other large or strange animals would certainly warrant attention, fish falling from the sky have become more common and even an annual event in some locations. Yet the overnight or sudden appearance of thousands of flopping fish still gets people excited. That was the case this week in India, where yet another classic fish fall was reported.

“According to sources, a resident of Amalapuram captured the video of the “fish rain” at around 4pm and circulated it among his friends.”

Fortean phenomena are a lot more fun now that we have cell phones and social media. The WhatsApp video quickly made it to the Times of India, which interviewed the unnamed videographer from Amalapuram, a town in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh located in the delta of Konaseema, which places it between two tributaries of the Godavari River and the Bay of Bengal. Do you need a bigger hint as to where the fish may have come from? (Photos and video here.)

It’s happened before.

“A meteorologist from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said that strong winds of the storms like Cyclone Phethai sometimes carry displaced fish, frogs from the water bodies and drop on the land.”

The news was big enough to be picked up by the Weather Channel, which just happened to have reporters hanging on to lampposts as they covered the (hint alert) Cyclone Phethai,which made landfall in Andhra Pradesh on December 17, destroying over 10,000 farm and, even worse, damaging an estimated total of 12,094 mobile towers, which could explain why there was only one video circulating of the fish rain.

While no greater source than the Weather Channel said it, all good Forteans know that there’s still never been scientific observation of fish rising out from a body of water due to a cyclone, waterspout, hurricane or other phenomena – only their falling from the sky or mysteriously appearing on the ground. And it’s often the case that they were brought by flooding, not rain. Still, there are times when there seems to be no weather explanation for falling fish, frogs, snakes and other non-flying creatures. Thus, they continue to be reported.

Stay tuned to Legends of Forteana for future coverage of fish rain, spontaneous human combustion, alien big cats, levitation and much, much more.

Bat like UFO that is 15km across found on surface of IO, moon of Jupiter in NASA photo, Dec 2018, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Dec 20, 2018
Location of discovery: IO, moon of Jupiter

I found a really nice resolution moon photo of IO. Its one of the moons of Jupiter. IO has a lot of evidence of intelligent life on it which I determined from the massive structures strewn across its surface. 

I found a really cool long black spaceship with bat-like back fins. Kinda looks like something Batman might fly around, but this thing is huge, about 10-15km across or more. Thats a hell of a ship. Also I found a round thick disk structure that appears to be sinking into the surface of the moon at an angle. The disk is large and probably parked on the surface but was too heavy and began sinking over thousands of years. IO has is an inhabited moon of Jupiter.

Mysterious Light Seen In Skies Across Northern California Likely A Meteor

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – Social media was filled with photos, videos and questions Wednesday night about the bright light and strangely illuminated smoke contrail seen in the skies that were visible across the Bay Area and California.

Dozens of people called and emailed the KPIX 5 newsroom asking what the phenomenon was, but the reason behind the light and smoke initially was a bit of a mystery.

Bing Quock, assistant director of the Morrison Planetarium at the California Academy of Sciences, said that the Lick Observatory determined the mysterious light trail was a bright meteor.

“A very bright meteor that fell through the atmosphere, and it took place shortly after sunset so that the contrail that was left behind was still lit by the sun,” Quock said.

He said that the reason for the meteor trail’s question mark shape was high level wind in the atmosphere.

“And when upper winds in the atmosphere blew the contrail into nicely contorted shapes that looked like a strange glowing curlicue in the air that baffled a lot of people. But very likely just a bright meteor.”

Saturn’s wide, iconic rings make this planet the telescopic showpiece of the solar system, but new research confirms the planet’s rings are only temporary. The new work was published December 17, 2018, in the peer-reviewed journal Icarus. It describes a process whereby ice particles from the rings are being pulled by gravity onto Saturn, falling as a dusty ring rain.

James O’Donoghue of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is lead author of the new study. O’Donoghue said in a statement:

We estimate that this ‘ring rain’ drains an amount of water products that could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool from Saturn’s rings in half an hour.

Saturn’s rings consists of countless separate particles with sizes ranging from pea-sized to that of giant boulders. These particles are composed mainly of water ice, with a trace of rocky material. There are two basic possibilities for how Saturn got its rings. It is conceivable that Saturn formed with the rings from the great cloud of gas and dust that also formed our sun and the other planets, 4 1/2 billion years ago. Or – as now seems more likely – the rings started out as moons for Saturn that collided, or a moon that came too close (within Saturn’s Roche limit) and was shattered by tidal forces.

The new research favors the idea that the rings are recent and temporary. Like some previous studies, it suggests a much younger age for the rings than 4 1/2 billion years. The ring rain alone indicates that the rings will last no more than 300 million years, these scientists said. Earlier research suggested an even shorter timeframe for the rings, giving them less than 100 million years to live. O’Donoghue said:

We are lucky to be around to see Saturn’s ring system, which appears to be in the middle of its lifetime. However, if rings are temporary, perhaps we just missed out on seeing giant ring systems of Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, which have only thin ringlets today!

The first hints that a ring rain existed came from Voyager spacecraft observations in the early 1980s. Now, according to a statement from NASA:

Ring particles are caught in a balancing act between the pull of Saturn’s gravity, which wants to draw them back into the planet, and their orbital velocity, which wants to fling them outward into space. Tiny particles can get electrically charged by ultraviolet light from the sun or by plasma clouds emanating from micrometeoroid bombardment of the rings. When this happens, the particles can feel the pull of Saturn’s magnetic field, which curves inward toward the planet at Saturn’s rings. In some parts of the rings, once charged, the balance of forces on these tiny particles changes dramatically, and Saturn’s gravity pulls them in along the magnetic field lines into the upper atmosphere.

Once there, the icy ring particles vaporize and the water can react chemically with Saturn’s ionosphere. One outcome from these reactions is an increase in the lifespan of electrically charged particles called H3+ ions, which are made up of three protons and two electrons. When energized by sunlight, the H3+ ions glow in infrared light, which was observed by O’Donoghue’s team using special instruments attached to the Keck telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

Their observations revealed glowing bands in Saturn’s northern and southern hemispheres where the magnetic field lines that intersect the ring plane enter the planet. They analyzed the light to determine the amount of rain from the ring and its effects on Saturn’s ionosphere. They found that the amount of rain matches remarkably well with the astonishingly high values derived more than three decades earlier …

EarthSky lunar calendars are cool! They make great gifts. Order now. Going fast!

The team also found that one region in the south of Saturn was receiving most of ring rain.

And they discovered a glowing band at a higher latitude in Saturn’s southern hemisphere. This is where Saturn’s magnetic field intersects the orbit of the Saturn moon Enceladus, which was discovered by the Cassini spacecraft to be shooting geysers of water ice into space.

It’s been thought for some years that some of this material from Enceladus rains onto Saturn as well, and this new work confirms that moon rain exists as well.

Bottom line: New research confirms the idea that the iconic rings of the planet Saturn are only temporary. A ring rain is apparently falling onto Saturn, which, within some 100 to 300 million years, should cause the rings to disappear.

Extremely bright meteor has lit up the sky over the Bay Area

A series of pictures and videos that were shared in the social media show a large trail of smoke. Initially, it was not clear what caused it. Over time, more photos and videos of the incident were posted.

It was a meteor, according to the University of California's Lick Observatory near San Jose:

A bright meteor was visible in the skies over the Bay Area shortly after sunset this evening, leaving a bright trail that was visible for many minutes in the western sky. Elinor Gates got a few photos showing how the trail was illuminated by the Sun after sunset and changed shape with the upper level winds in the atmosphere.
Update: From Dr. Peter Jenniskens (SETI) "CAMS@Lick Observatory detected the flash of the meteor at 01:34:48 UTC (17:34:48 PST). At least three flares."

The Next End of the World?

I wasn't too sure where to put this video... I mean it's kinda 'Nature', kinda would be 'Preppers' but allegedly coming from the CIA, I guess it could be a 'Conspiracy Theory'

People have been 'doomin' and gloomin' since the global floods last receded.... People talk about polar flips, tidal waves and killer bees.... This allegedly comes right from the CIA's website, but I wasn't clickin no links or going to their site.... Says it's from a report that was eventually released but is heavily redacted...

What sayeth thou Disclose.tv? Just another stupid annual prediction of death? Or is the end nigh?
