Mysterious Lights on the Moon’s Surface Going on and Off

The so-called transient lunar phenomena have been known since the 1950 and although there are several theories about the lunar mystery lights’ origins, they have not yet been fully explained.

Now astronomers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany have set up a telescope which will use artificial intelligence to automatically detect the flashes.

According to Metro.co.uk, Professor Kayal has a hypothesis about what’s causing the longer-lasting flashes and hopes to prove this theory. ‘Seismic activities were also observed on the moon,’ the professor added. ‘When the surface moves, gases that reflect sunlight could escape from the interior of the moon. This would explain the luminous phenomena, some of which last for hours.’ However, there is currently no explanation for the flashes.

About these mysterious flashes of lights on the moon; UniversalTrek discovered on Google earth in Moon strange lights that turn on and off at specific times of the day.

In the video below he shows the lights with the timer set on 2014. I have checked the lights too on Google Earth in Moon but set the timer on the current dates of 2019 and the lights are still there and on the same time the lights are going on and off like in 2014.

Then according to idw-online.de, it happens several times a week. Sometimes it is only short flashes of light that appear on the surface of the moon. Other light phenomena on the Earth’s satellite can last longer. And sometimes there are also places that darken temporarily which corresponds with the lights going on and off in Google Earth in Moon.

Anyone who wants to build a lunar base at some point must of course be familiar with the local conditions,” says Professor Kayal. What if such plans should ever become concrete? By then at the latest, it should be clear what the mysterious flashes and luminous phenomena are all about.

If we have to believe John Lear, the moon has huge underground cities and bases and there is a population of a quarter of a billion people on the moon which are actually aliens that look similar to us. The Greys are on the moon also but mainly remain underground within huge laboratories. See video interview John Lear:

Could it be that these mysterious lights indicate that there are underground cities or bases on the Moon?

Climate change is not a good thing in general, but it’s done wonders for fossil hunters in Siberia who make new discoveries as the permafrost thaws. While not many people seem to be moving to that formerly-frozen land these days, it seems it was once a hotbed (warmbed? coolbed?) of early human species activities. While the Denivosan fossils have been getting all of the publicity lately, the discovery of a couple of 31,000-year-old teeth in far northeastern Siberia have been identified as yet another new group of humans to brave the Siberian cold. Could they possibly have been ancestors of Native Americans? Make some hot chocolate and let’s find out.

“These people were a significant part of human history, they diversified almost at the same time as the ancestors of modern day Asians and Europeans and it’s likely that at one point they occupied large regions of the northern hemisphere.”

“These people” are the owners of two tiny milk teeth found in 2001 in an archaeological site near the Yana River in the Sakha province known as the Yana Rhinoceros Horn Site. Professor Eske Willerslev, the director of The Lundbeck Foundation Centre for GeoGenetics at the University of Copenhagen, helped sort out the human and animal bones and recently did the DNA analysis which convinced him that these were the teeth of a new human group called the ‘Ancient North Siberians’.

“They adapted to extreme environments very quickly, and were highly mobile. These findings have changed a lot of what we thought we knew about the population history of north eastern Siberia but also what we know about the history of human migration as a whole.”

Don’t look back … they may be gaining on us!

Dr Martin Sikora, also from the Lundbeck Centre, and Willerslev co-authored the study published this week in the journalNature. The discovery is exciting because the DNA shows the Ancient North Siberians were more closely related to Europeans than Asians and survived and thrived as “big game hunters of woolly mammoth and woolly rhinoceros.” Furthermore, they seem to be at the top of the pyramid of peoples that eventually spread across east Asia and North America. Were these the long-sought, Bering landmass-crossing direct ancestors of the first Native Americans?

31,000-Year-Old Children's Teeth Reveal New Group Of Humans In Siberia

“[Ancestors of] Native Americans are not the first people in northeastern Siberia as most people, if not everybody, thought.”

Willerslev points out that the Ancient North Siberians, while tough, didn’t survive long enough to be direct ancestors of Native Americans. They were eventually replaced by Ancient Paleo-Siberians, who were themselves replaced about 10,000 years ago by the Neo-Siberians. However, a different DNA analysis of a recent finding of a 10,000-year-old Ancient Paleo-Siberian shows that THEY may be the missing Siberian-to-Native-American link.

“This [DNA] is the first evidence we have, real evidence, of something very close genetically to Native Americans.”

Is this discovery Jeopardy-ready? Not quite. What it shows is that there were a number of very tough and mobile Siberian cultures thriving in that hostile environment as far back as 30,000 years ago when there was still a land mass connecting the two continents. What kept the earlier groups from continuing their eastward march was more likely the ice on the North American side. The DNA of the Ancient Paleo-Siberians is very close to Native American but still no American-supplied tobacco cigar. That fossil is waiting to be found.

This is no reason to root for climate-change-caused melting, but it definitely helps.

Within the field of Ufology there are longstanding and highly controversial rumors that the May 22, 1949 death of James Forrestal – the first U.S. Secretary of Defense – was linked to the UFO phenomenon. So the story goes, while suffering from severe depression and anxiety, and ultimately spiraling into a complete nervous breakdown (as a result of his exposure to what the U.S. Government knew about UFOs), Forrestal was on the verge of revealing his knowledge of an alien presence on Earth. The theory continues that powerful figures decided such a thing simply could not be allowed to occur. The result was that Forrestal had to go. And “go,” he certainly did: out of a window. In the early hours of May 22, Forrestal plunged to his death from the 16th floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital. The big question is: was he pushed or did he jump?

Of course, there’s no hard proof in the public domain that Forrestal was briefed on the more sensational and top secret aspects of the UFO phenomenon. Although, logic dictates that he would have been briefed (at least to some degree), since he accepted the position of Secretary of Defense in 1947 – the year in which the flying saucer was “born” and when the military was indeed taking the mysterious matter very seriously. Even outside of Ufology, there are suspicions that Forrestal’s death was no suicide.

The reason why I mention all of this is because in the last couple of days the FBI has declassified a file on Forrestal which runs to close to 300 pages. I should stress that for the most part the file is focused on bureaucratic issues. That’s not to say there aren’t any interesting and intriguing entries in the file. There certainly are. You can find the file at this link. If you scroll down the file to the latter part, you’ll see the more intriguing information. One section of the file concerns Forrestal’s worries that his phone was being tapped. It was an issue brought to the personal attention of the FBI’s Director, J. Edgar Hoover.

A March 28, 1949 FBI document states: “There was a party at the White House this afternoon for Mr. Forrestal and during the afternoon he remarked to [deleted] that he suspects that his phones are being tapped and asked to whom he should speak about this. [Deleted] told him Mr. Hoover was the one to talk about it and told Mr. Forrestal he would be glad to call for him. He said no, he would call Mr. Hoover himself.”

Two days later, Hoover wrote to Forrestal the following: “Dear Jim, I wanted to let you know that we have completed the check of the telephone lines and instruments in your residence and that all were found to be clear. It was a pleasure to be of this assistance to you.” Of course, most of Forrestal’s concerns about phone-tapping were very likely provoked by his increasing paranoid state. I see such paranoia time and time again in Ufology. A strange noise on the phone indicates that “they” are listening. A text that fails to arrive on time is a sign that the Men in Black are playing sinister games. And so on.

James V. Forrestal

Certainly, the most bizarre – but also intriguing – entry in the file is a letter sent to the FBI on March 9, 1952. The name of the letter-writer is deleted. The letter reads as follows: “On the Brundidge Ryan Crime Report (which is [a] television show out New York) a [deleted] said he thought and would be able to prove in the near future that James V. Forrestal was driven to insanity by placing two grams of opium and two grams of some other narcotic in his coffee each day for two weeks. He said this would drive any man into wanting suicide. I wrote [deleted] but have as yet received no answer. Would you please tell me if there is any doubt that Forrestal committed suicide naturally? I would also like to know if taking those narcotics for the prescribed length of time would cause said reaction? Pleas send the reply to the above address.”

On March 18, the FBI replied to the letter-writer, informing him or her that the letter to the FBI had been forwarded on to the Bureau of Narcotics. Those with a particular interest in all of this might wish to file a FOIA request to try and determine what the Bureau of Narcotics had to say about all of this. The file also contains a number of notable documents, including (A) J. Edgar Hoover’s congratulatory letter to Forrestal when, in 1949, he – Forrestal – took on the position of Secretary of Defense; and (B) the official notification to the FBI of Forrestal’s death. And, for those who follow the Forrestal controversy, there are enough leads and threads to keep you going for a while.

On September 16, 1994, a memorandum was issued to high-ranking members of President Bill Clinton’s administration, outlining a unique directive aimed at reshaping the security policy structure in the United States.

“The end of the Cold War has dramatically changed the threats that defined the security policies and procedures for protecting our government’s information, facilities and people,” Clinton wrote in the memo. “While some threats have been reduced, others have remained relatively stable or have increased. Our understanding of the range of issues that affect our national security continues to evolve.”

“With this greater diversity of threats,” he continued, “there is wide recognition that the security policies, practices and procedures developed during the Cold War must be reexamined and changed. We require a new security process based on sound threat analysis and risk management practices. A process which can adapt our security policies, practices and procedures as the economic, political and military challenges to our national interests continue to evolve.”

After outlining key areas that would become the aim of future security assessments, Clinton moved that, “Consistent with the National Security Act of 1947, I direct the establishment of a new security policy structure, under the direction of the NSC, for the coordination, formulation, evaluation and oversight of security policy,” and the ultimate formation of a secretive Security Policy Board.

This is all significant primarily for one reason: public knowledge of the Security Policy Board came to light as a result of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Release of the first page of Presidential Decision Directive 29, which detailed the formation of this secret policy group in the Clinton government. Otherwise, its existence might remain off-the-books even today.

The Freedom of Information Act is integral to the journalistic process today, and in keeping with the objective of broader government transparency, it is also a vital tool for the citizenry. There are a variety of things that come to light as a result of FOIA, ranging from secretive details like those outlined above, to the truly odd. For instance, a recent series of documents posted on the FBI’s website detail how the Bureau studied alleged Bigfoot hair in the 1970s. However, these documents had actually been released in 2018 to researcher John Greenwald, as part of a FOIA request he made after a discussion with David Paulides about the subject, whereafter they were added to FBI’s Vault for broader public access (this is often the case with FOIA releases which, upon being made public, will be added to the “Reading Rooms” on websites of the agencies granting the FOIA, if the newly released files are believed to be of broader public interest).

FOIA has also played an integral role in piecing together what little we can about the Pentagon’s secretive Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program, or AATIP, which studied unexplained aerial phenomena between 2007 and 2012. The program was first made public in December 2017, following a New York Times article which interviewed Luis Elizondo, who says he was head of the program until his resignation only weeks earlier (subsequent acknowledgment of the program by Pentagon spokespeople has also occurred).

However, as far as government documentation to accompany public statements about the program, arguably the most significant was a FOIA release obtained by Steven Aftergood with the Federation of American Scientists, which presented a series of research papers related to the program and its objectives.

“The DIA list of research papers, marked for Official Use Only, was previously provided to Congress in January 2018. It was publicly released yesterday under the Freedom of Information Act,” Aftergood wrote.

“A DIA FOIA officer noted with some exasperation,” he added, “that yesterday’s release of the list of research papers will, in all likelihood, prompt new FOIA requests to his Agency for each of the listed papers.”

According to the Electronic Information Privacy Center (EPIC), a Washington-based organization that promotes “public attention on emerging privacy and civil liberties issues and to protect privacy, freedom of expression, and democratic values in the information age,” a number of less unusual, albeit more concerning issues have come to light as a result of FOIA requests over the years. In 2014, EPIC filed a FOIA request for documents pertaining to the deployment of Z Backscatter Van technology, a variety of X-ray technology used to scan objects, which had been in use by law enforcement agencies since 2011. The documents were released to them earlier this year.

Other notable FOIA releases pertaining to government secrecy and experimental technologies include:

• Details about FBI contracts with Dataminr, a company which created an Advanced Alerting Tool allowing the FBI to engage in broad, near-real-time surveillance of Twitter.
• Documents outlining a procedure for disrupting cellular communications networks.
• Documents on the FBI’s Carnivore Internet Surveillance System (which can be read here).

In the age of cyberterrorism, many would argue that such technologies are necessary in order to preserve a free society. The irony, of course, is that “freedom” in the digital age is often reliant on certain measures that, in order to protect us, must also overstep our natural freedoms and right to privacy. Therefore, with tools like FOIA at our disposal, it is incumbent on us as the citizenry to pursue transparency where it can be attained, in the promotion of the ideals of a free, open, and democratic society.

What are the mysterious flashes of light on the moon? Scientists launch new study into transient phenomena observed for decades without explanation

• Brief flashes of light on the surface of the moon have been seen since the 1950s
• Scientists have now developed a telescope in Spain to study the phenomenon
• The telescope will record these events and results will be compared with ESA 

By CHEYENNE MACDONALD FOR DAILYMAIL.COM 

A newly launched investigation could finally get to the bottom of a mystery that has baffled scientists since the 1950s.

For decades, scientists have observed brief flashes of light that appear on the surface of the moon several times a week. But, no one knows exactly what’s causing them.

Now, using a specially designed lunar telescope in Spain that boasts two cameras, a team will keep an eye on the moon’s activity every night in hopes to capture these strange phenomena and ultimately pinpoint the source.

For decades, scientists have observed brief flashes of light that appear on the surface of the moon several times a week. But, no one knows exactly what’s causing them

Scientists have dubbed these strange events ‘transient lunar phenomena.’

The new effort is led by researchers from Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg in Germany, who built the new telescope and put it into operation in April 2019.

The telescope sits at a private observatory roughly 100 kilometers north of Seville, where the weather is optimal for viewing.

There are several possible explanations that have circulated over the years, from meteor impacts to interactions between solar wind and moon dust, the researchers say.

‘Seismic activities were also observed on the moon,’ says Hakan Kayal, Professor of Space Technology at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Bavaria, Germany.

‘When the surface moves, gases that reflect sunlight could escape from the interior of the moon.

‘This would explain the luminous phenomena, some of which last for hours.’

‘The so-called transient lunar phenomena have been known since the 1950s, but they have not been sufficiently observed,’ Kayal said.

When the new telescope logs a luminous phenomenon with both of its cameras at the same time, it will store the observations and send an email to the team.

Using a specially designed lunar telescope in Spain that boasts two cameras, a team will keep an eye on the moon’s activity every night in hopes to capture these strange phenomena and ultimately pinpoint the source

Artificial intelligence techniques will eventually be added to help it distinguish between different types of events on the moon, as well as false alarms.

The researchers say understanding this type of activity at the surface of the moon will be critical in efforts to establish colonies.

‘Anyone who wants to build a lunar base at some point must of course be familiar with the local conditions,’ Kayal said.

The researchers will eventually compare their results with those collected by the European Space Agency to confirm the observations.

This dark black object is in an Apollo 10 mission photo. This object looks like it may be a dark knight satellite. Those were alien built satellites being hundreds of thousands of years old, but left in earths orbit for unknown reasons. This raises the next question, if its not a dark knight satellite, why was it there? Perhaps it was alien trying assist and watch out for the Apollo 10 mission. Its 100% certain that the US government has connections with aliens, so the possibility of this being aliens watching over the mission seems great.

NASA's Mars Helicopter Whirls Through Tests on Way to 2020 Launch

NASA's first Mars helicopter is getting close to final approval for launch after passing several key tests.

The Mars Helicopter flight demonstration project will launch next summer with the Mars 2020 rover and touch down on the Red Planet in February  2021. 

While the rover searches for signs of past life on the Red Planet and caches samples for future return to Earth, the helicopter will soar above Mars in a series of demonstration flights. Future missions could see such helicopters scouting ahead for where rovers could go next.

"Nobody's built a Mars helicopter before, so we are continuously entering new territory," MiMi Aung, project manager for the Mars Helicopter at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, said in a statement. 

Back in January, the flight model flew in a simulated Martian environment at JPL's Space Simulator, a vacuum chamber that has a diameter of 25 feet (roughly 8 meters). Then it was moved to a Lockheed Martin Space facility in Denver.

At its new location, the helicopter was tested for compatibility with the Mars Helicopter Delivery System. This system will carry the helicopter under the Mars 2020 rover's belly during launch and cruise to Mars. The helicopter will separate from the rover after landing.

In Denver, the connections and mechanisms between the delivery system and helicopter were tested to make sure they fit together. The mated system experienced vibrations similar to what happens during launch and cruise. Also, the helicopter and delivery system were put into a thermal vacuum chamber to see how they performed in cold temperatures (minus 200 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 129 degrees Celsius), similar to the conditions they'll experience in deep space and on the Martian surface.

With these tests complete, the helicopter went back to JPL on May 11 for several more procedures, including spinning up the rotor blades and installing a new solar panel. More testing is ahead, but the end is in sight — at least for work here on Earth

"We expect to complete our final tests and refinements and deliver the helicopter to the High Bay 1 clean room for integration with the rover sometime this summer," Aung said, "but we will never really be done with testing the helicopter until we fly at Mars."

Since the helicopter is a demonstrator, it has no science instruments on board; rather, its main purpose is to show that powered flight in the Martian atmosphere is achievable. The Red Planet's air is just 1% as dense as that of Earth. 

Even if the minicoptercan take flight, there are other obstacles to overcome, such as the time lag involved in controlling it from Earth. (It takes between 4 minutes and 24 minutes for signals to travel between Earth and Mars, depending on the positions of the two planets in space.) Imaging will also be tested to see the helicopter's capabilities for transmitting high-resolution color photos.

"Future Mars missions could enlist second-generation helicopters to add an aerial dimension to their explorations,' NASA officials added in the statement. "They could investigate previously unvisited or difficult-to-reach destinations such as cliffs, caves and deep craters, act as scouts for human crews or carry small payloads from one location to another. But before any of that happens, a test vehicle has to prove it is possible."

Finally Declassified: US Military made "Flying Saucers"

A once top-secret military project has now become part of American history. It dates back to 1959 during the Cold War when a scientist named Jack Frost was working hard on some new technology - flying saucers. Nicknamed ‘Avrocar’, these saucers were genuine, all American made, UFO style aircraft which were sanctioned by the US military, but why?

Alien Sightings

After World War II, America went through a UFO craze with hundreds upon hundreds of sightings being reported. Coincidentally, this was around the same time as the Cold War as well as the Avrocar’s development. There has been some speculation surrounding the increase in UFO sightings and many say that they were in fact connected to the US military’s anxiety about the Cold War with some suggesting that they were spreading paranoia. For obvious reasons, if someone saw the Avrocar, they would be pretty taken back by it.

A few years before the Avrocar’s existence was known to the public, someone reported a flying saucer sighting, which took place in 1947. An assembly line employee for the Lockheed aerospace company, Orfeo Angelucci, reported coming into contact with a hovering flying saucer on the roadside when he was driving home late one night. It wasn't just a sighting though. He claimed that he interacted with the occupants when a voice spoke to him, telling him not to be afraid. Shortly after, a male and a female figure with large eyes and an impressive nobility about them appeared and communicated with him telepathically. As with many UFO sightings, it's hard to tell if they are legitimate due to the lack of proof. However, this is considered by many to be the very first and is oddly specific, it just might hold some merit.

As time went on, more and more UFO sightings were reported. In fact, the US governmentofficially instructed citizens to report supposed UFOs to a new division of the Air Force called “Project Blue Book”. The results showed that between 1947 and 1969, citizens reported over 12,000 UFO sightings with the highest being 1952 which had over 1,500 individual sightings.

What exactly was the Avrocar for?

Despite it’s alien-like appearance, the Avrocar did actually have a purpose. It was designed to be the ultimate subsonic transporter for US troops which could go at incredible speeds in an instant. As anxiety grew about the Cold War and soviet threats, the Avrocar took priority over other projects during its development.

The man behind it all was Jack Frost, who in fact was bit of a legend. The British engineer had paved the way for many supersonic aircraft designs, specifically vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles that can hover, take off, and land vertically. Throughout the 1950s, Frost was working at Avro Canada, a now-defunct aircraft manufacturing company. He worked in a classified department called the Special Projects Group (SPG). A lot of the time, these projects were completed in secure locations with guards and special pass cards, all behind locked doors of course. So if anyone was going to be able to produce the next subsonic vehicle, it was Frost.

Did it work?

In the traditional sense, the Avrocar didn't fulfill its original purpose of becoming a new vehicle transport military personnel at high speeds. While Frost assured everyone that it was possible, it just wasn't meant to be. The two aircraft that were put through testing were only able to go three feet off the ground and top speeds were about 35 MPH. Even then, the crafts were overheating and when in operation, they produced a high pitched piercing sound which isn't pleasant for anyone. By spring of 1961, only two years after it’s first free flight, the project was deemed to be too expensive to continue and was shut down. Check it out in action in the video below!

Despite the Avrocar seemingly failing, it did still prove to be a revolutionary creation, paving the way for modern hovercraft technology and cars. Science has advanced a lot since the 50s and 60s. Who knows, maybe the Avrocar will fly eventually. For now though, one of them sits in the Cold War Gallery in the National Museum of the United States Air Force while the other was reportedly put into storage by the United States Military in 2002. Who knows what's happening to it right now? Perhaps it’s already being worked on. Maybe we will see the Avrocar return in the future. Only time will tell now…

NASA Will Test Fly A UFO And Proves Saucers Are Real

NASA is hoping to prove that UFOs do exist after years of speculation by people all around the world. They've been building their own UFO using new technology that has been developed which they plan to take on a test flight to Mars by 2035.

Known as the NASA low-density supersonic decelerator (LDSD) project, their newest rocket that they want to take into space is circular in shape just in the shape of traditional UFOs that have been seen flying through our skies for centuries. To get it out of our atmosphere, it'll be lifted upwards by a balloon which will explode on reaching the desired height and send the space craft NASA has developed into space at a speed four times that of the speed of sound. It has an inflatable ring around it which will only be inflated once the space craft has left our atmosphere in order to slow it down when it reaches the desired height again, slowing it to a speed only twice that of the speed of sound, thus halving the overall speed at which the space craft is flying at.

NASA•JPL•Caltech

This space craft has already been tested previously and when it was tested the lead researcher, Ian Clark, said, "We saw things that we’ve never seen or imagined existed before. We saw a much more dynamic and much more turbulent parachute inflation than we had ever known. Things like the suspension lines are exploding like lightning, moving in a very chaotic manner all over the place."

The way that this space craft has been developed is similar to the types of UFO that we have come to know from science fiction over the years. Now, science fiction is becoming a reality with NASA developing a flying saucer that resembles the sort of UFOs that have been seen in our atmosphere for many years.

If you want to see what this space craft will be like, take a look at the video below.

Flying Saucers Are Real, Wait They’re Not

The UFO enigma is real. And Roswell, for example, is just one offering of proof thanks to the diligent work by researchers like Stanton T. Friedman. Proof there is a phenomena - that something odd is occurring which defies everyday explanations. Is it because the public at large has physical proof? No. Has the government come clean to share what it has known all these many years? No, not exactly. It’s because of what they have said publicly, then retracted, then altered, leaving a witnesses and paper trail that - clear as day - refutes the government’s false narrative. We need only look to page one of the 1947 Gen. Nathan Twining memo to see that before the disclosure door was officially closed, there was a recognition by our government that indeed something likely not from this Earth is visiting:

"a. The phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious."

We are all also familiar with the Roswell/Corona UFO crash story that appeared in the Roswell Daily Record on July 8th, 1947. Col. William Blanchard ordered Sec. Lt. Walter Haut to release to the press that a flying saucer had indeed been recovered. Only to have Brigidier Gen. Roger Ramey immediately retract that story which kicked off the debunking career of the military by claiming it was in fact just a downed weather balloon.

Beginning with childhood experimenting, we’ve all told a lie. Whether small or large, we all know how it feels to tell a lie. We know it’s a gamble to tell a lie because our story is not based on facts or reality. We know in our gut that it’s a slippery slope, that we may later fumble our fictitious story. And if we do make a mistake, we must scurry away from the spotlight of truth by slightly altering our story, or perhaps use the gaslighting technique. But when doing so too quickly, we may not have competently thought through our story’s new alteration. Unable to see how in the long run it could have conflicting plot points. Then we get caught. So what does the prideful liar do? They stick to the lie - the story - no matter what. Repeat the lie over and over again until people are exacerbated and the truth begins to feel muddy. You would do this by sowing doubt about the very people who accuse you of dishonesty. In particular, you would be most effective at convincing those who feel more comfortable with your version of the story anyway because it appears simpler, and so are not bothered with the effort of checking out all of the available information to weigh it all for themselves.

The story has become so confusing that it’s tempting to go with the seemingly easiest version to believe. There are people out there that are masters of this sort of manipulation. In the word of ufology the preeminent example is debunker Philip Klass. You and I both know these types of people. Most of us have been fooled by one individual or another at some point in our lives. They are in our homes, they are leaders of industry, leaders of our military, and even the leader who holds the highest office in the land. The President. Or in the case of extraterrestrial visitations - all of the Presidents since Harry S. Truman (assuming all presidents are debriefed in the matter).

If you take the time to read books like Facts, Fiction and Flying Saucers, Crash At Corona, and Captured, I promise you will be left having to rethink everything. That’s if you’re willing to go down the rabbit hole.

For myself, I have read and seen too much now to be in denial that our government and military - meaning fellow citizens of the United States of America - have lied to us and covered up the truth about Roswell and other events. If nothing else, that is all you would need to recognize in order to consider that perhaps we have been visited by extraterrestrials of some kind. Or at the very least are dealing with a technology not our own. But of course, once you start there, the mystery will beckon you further. To question a narrative because you understand that simplifying a story does not necessarily equate to a story being true.

A magician or illusionist distracts you just enough to pull the wool over your eyes. In the case of the UFO coverup, the magician is the concerted effort by the US government, the military industrial complex, and the loyal debunker. But we know better don’t we. In another post I’ll go more into detail about debunkers and how I feel about them.

EmDrive: Mythical Physics-Defying Propulsion System Gets A Real Test

An EmDrive is a hypothetical type of engine that could propel a spacecraft without the need for any fuel. However, it’s viability has been debated by scientists for almost 20 years.

Impossibility

A working EmDrive will likely never happen because for it to be functioning, it would literally need to break one of the foundational laws of physics, hence the impossibility. However, despite it never being able to work, scientists from a number of top research organizations, such as NASA and DARPA, are still pursuing the tech due to the huge payoff if it did work. It would literally revolutionize the world of space exploration.

While it may seem impossible to many, a team of German physicists plans on conducting a new experiment to end the debate around this controversial topic for good. This is now make or break for the EmDrive engine.

Experimentation

Almost two decades ago now, back in 2001, Roger Shawyer, a British scientist proposed the idea of generating thrust by pumping microwaves into a conical chamber. From there, these waves would bounce off the cone’s walls, exerting enough force to power spacecraft. While this sounds like a great idea, it would basically be creating a force out of nothing and according to the law of conservation of momentum, this simply isn't possible.

Despite these laws, there are a handful of researchers who claim they’ve managed to generate a small amount of thrust in their EmDrive experiments. However, the amount of thrust is so minute that it hasn't been possible to decipher whether it was the engine itself or was in fact an external factor, such as the Earth’s magnetism or seismic vibrations. Therefore, the propulsion system has remained a mystery and an extremely controversial one at that.

End of The Debate

A team of researchers from Technische Universität Dresden has built an extremely sensitive instrument which is designed to measure thrust, no matter how small. The team believes that their new experiment will be immune to the outside interference which has plagued other studies, thanks to their instrument.

Once the experiment has been completed, the team plan on publishing the latest results of their EmDrive experiments in the journal Acta Astronautica in August. Lead researcher, Martin Tajmar has stated that it may be possible to be just a few months away from finally putting the EmDrive debate to bed and have a concrete answer as to whether it will ever be possible.

Ancient Aliens – The new discovery in Mexico changes everything

A whole host of newly discovered extraterrestrial architecture has been released in Mexico. The finds could be exponential and prove once and for all ancient aliens visited our early ancestors’ thousands of years ago.

These new ancient sculptures depict UFO’s, extraterrestrial humanoid entities, and mysterious texts, and have been the topic of much alien news discussion.

This ancient art appears to depict what many believe to be a human laying on a table surrounded by bizarre creatures with UFO’s in the sky.

The aliens appear reptilian. This may indicate the theory that alien astronauts visited our planet thousands of years ago and interfered with our evolutionary process. This ancient art discovered in Mexico certainly displays numerous unanswered anomalies.

Could this piece of ancient art be proof of the ancient alien theory?

Is it just a coincidence that ancient cultures from around the world recorded similar activities? From UFO sightings to alien abductions, our ancient ancestors spoke of visitors from another world. They always mentioned another race of beings that inhabited our planet long before mankind arose. Could these pieces of ancient art confirm popular conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial beings?

A video uploaded to YouTube discusses questions about the incredible artifacts discovered in Mexico.

Alien Contact in Mexico

Many Ufologists believe this is evidence that the ancient Mexican civilization documented extraterrestrial contact. Alien beings visited the ancient man and an alien intervention was underway. This is essentially the concept of the ancient alien’s theory.

However, there are those who question its authenticity. Due to the artifacts being in almost perfect condition after being discovered, many skeptics say that they cannot date back thousands of years ago.

Take a look at a few other ancient artifacts found in Mexico to see if you believe they could be in reference to alien extraterrestrial visitors.

The ancient alien artifact may demonstrate extraterrestrial life. 

Sourced.

So, could this ancient artifact show three aliens inside a UFO?

The bizarre artifact could tell the story of an alien intervention.

These artifacts are in the typical design style of ancient Mayan culture, which thrived in what is now called Mexico. They display strange figures that many have interpreted as evidence of aliens visiting our planet many thousands of years ago.

Furthermore, a number of other discoveries from Mexico show alien-like beings in astronaut suits and disc-shaped objects flying in the skies.

Extraterrestrial Life

Proof of aliens in the distant past.

Sourced from AlienUFOSightings.

This ancient sculpture seems to depict a ritual happening. The beings in the art may be humanoid in structure, but certainly are not humans.

Many see these creatures as the typical “Grey aliens” and “Draconic aliens” from pop culture.

What exactly did our ancient ancestors see and hear? Has there been a cover-up about the truth of the history of mankind? Since we do not know the answer, we can only guess.

Recent Alien News

Michael Halsall, our own alien news writer, is currently asking the same questions. He is currently writing a book about the truth being a cover-up of extraterrestrial life called “You Can’t Spell ‘Alien’ Without ‘A Lie’“.

Not only is there clear evidence of the UFO phenomena, but there is an ever-growing amount of proof that aliens exist.

Just one of many ancient artifacts recently discovered in Mexico.

Val-d’Oise : le mystère du dessin tracé dans un champ de céréales

“This is the first unambiguous detection of a two-planet system carving a disk gap.”

That’s astronomer-speak for “We just photographed two baby planets feeding off of their mama star and we couldn’t be prouder!” Julien Girard of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, announced it this week in a paper he co-authored in the journal Nature Astronomy and in a press release. It’s the first-ever discovery of new planets growing by accumulating dust and debris from the disk that usually surrounds a young star. In this case, the star is PDS 70, a low-mass T Tauri (younger than 10 million years – in this case it’s 6 million years old) star in the constellation Centaurus about 370 light-years from Earth. Its disk has a large gap extending from about 1.9 to 3.8 billion miles and that’s where astronomers suspected there were baby planets growing.

“With facilities like ALMA, Hubble, or large ground-based optical telescopes with adaptive optics we see disks with rings and gaps all over. The open question has been, are there planets there? In this case, the answer is yes.”

(Leiden Observatory)

The planets have the boring names PDS 70 b and PDS 70 c, Discovered last year, PDS 70 b is the innermost planet, orbiting at a distance of about 2 billion miles or about the same distance as Uranus is from our Sun. PDS 70 c was just discovered using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) spectrograph on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) and is about 3.3 billion miles from PDS 70. While in the same disk gap, PDS 70 b orbits the star twice as fast as PDS 70 c.

“We were very surprised when we found the second planet.”

The first clear image of a planet caught in the very act of formation around the dwarf star PDS 70. The planet stands clearly out, visible as a bright point to the right of the centre of the image, which is blacked out by the coronagraph mask used to block the blinding light of the central star.

(Credit: ESO/A. Müller et al.)

As with so many discoveries, Sebastiaan Haffert of Leiden Observatory, lead author on the paper, says they were looking for something else when they found PDS 70 c. The technique being used was developed to study galaxies and star clusters at higher spatial resolution, but it turns out to be an excellent astronomers’ tool for peeking into the windows of star nurseries and watching baby planets. By looking for various wavelengths of light from hydrogen in the orbiting disk of debris, they can spot the early formation of gas giant planets.

In answer to the question that’s on everyone’s mind … the astronomers can’t determine the sex of the two new baby exoplanets. Of course, they don’t really care as long as they’re healthy.

Scientists have discovered two Jupiter-sized exoplanets about 150 light years away from Earth.

A couple of days ago, I wrote an article here titled “She believed he was an extra-terrestrial being.” It was focused on a case from the files of a long-time UFO researcher named Wayne LaPorte. The article referred to above was written as a result of Wayne very generously sharing with me some of his data. All of which brings me to another fascinating case-file that Wayne gave me. It was on October 29, 2016 that I first read it. In Wayne’s very own words: “This account was first related to me by two friends of mine – Don and Sarah Morris . Both have read little on UFOs, and have read nothing on Men in Black (MIBs). On May 27, 1977, Don, Sarah and myself had supper out. I was discussing hostility sometimes expressed by UFOs. I mentioned that there are on the record cases of Men in Black or MIBs. They asked me what that meant. I said, ‘The MIBs may be an enforcement arm of the UFOnauts. They often dress in black, and are very human-like.’ Sarah said: ‘Really? We had a strange experience with some men dressed in black turtleneck sweaters at a Kent State Memorial Service in 1972. We photographed them, because of their dress. Our film was ruined. There’s not a UFO involved here. However, it was very odd that our film was ruined.'”

Wayne continued: “It was the first part of July, 1972. Don and Sarah attended a Kent State Memorial Service at Freedom Park in Charlotte, N.C. Both are amateur photographers. They had a Honeywell Pentax 35mm camera. The service was a non-violent, anti-war demonstration. There was a stage set up. Various people were giving speeches. There were some singers and group singing also. It was sunny and very hot. The FBI were there and very obvious. They were going through the crowd and photographing various people mainly for harassment. Don wasn’t a protestor (active), and did not have a photographic file on the FBI. However, he was upset that the FBI were bothering the people. So, he decided to harass the FBI by taking photos of the FBI photographers.”

That’s when things got a bit strange, as Wayne notes: “Don and Sarah first noticed the MIB when they first drove into Freedom Park (a recreational park a few miles from downtown Charlotte). They were in the auto in front of Sarah. One of the MIBs turned and stared intently at her. She noticed the turtleneck shirt and that they were clean shaven. They had short hair. She said, ‘They must be part of the local FBI showing up.’ She thought they were FBI, because of the short haircut. The two MIBs and the FBI men were the only ones with short hair at the Memorial Service. Don and Sarah later noticed the two MIBs. Don had been walking around photographing the FBI agents. He returned to Sarah who was with the audience. A simple stage had been erected. The audience was seated in front of it and spread out like a fan. Don and Sarah were near the back of the audience. There were no chairs. Everyone was seated on the grass.”

There was more to come: “The two MIBs stood behind the audience and about 50 feet from the audience. They wore black turtleneck shirts or sweaters (both can’t recall whether they had on shirts or sweaters). Their clothes were both identical – also very clean and neat. They never talked (even to each other). They never went to eat or to the restroom. They stayed in the same spot all day. The temperature was about 27 degrees centigrade. The MIBs weren’t sweating. They just kept looking around and staring at everyone.”

The strangeness got even weirder: “Don and Sarah can’t recall any facial features. However, they never thought of them being non-human. They thought the MIB were ‘FBI supervisors.’ They took a few photos of them from the crowd. Then, Don went around and came up behind them. He got to five feet (1.5 meters) behind them. He focused the camera. He hoped they would sense he was behind them and turn around. He wanted to capture the surprise on their faces when they turned around. However, he waited behind them for 5 minutes. They never turned around. Then, like he was ‘commanded,’ Don returned to Sarah in the audience. He doesn’t recall any verbal or mental command. However, all of a sudden, he lost interest in trying to photograph the MIBs.”

If that was not strange enough, there’s the following from Wayne: “The next week, Don and Sarah developed the black-n-white film at their home photolab. The film was completely black from front to back. It was as if struck by some form of intense electromagnetic radiation. Their thoughts were that the FBI had a secret radiation weapon that the FBI used on them to destroy their film. However, Don doesn’t recall seeing the FBI or MIBs point any weapon at them. Also, Don doesn’t recall experiencing any radiation sickness. There is the possibility that Don had purchased a roll of film that had been accidentally exposed to radiation while being shipped to the retail store. To me, that is possible, but very unlikely. If the film was good  then 1. The FBI have a secret radiation weapon; 2. The MIBs used some type of weapon secretly on Don’s camera; 3. The MIBs psychically were able to destroy the film. 4. The MIBs themselves were an energy entity or were radiating electromagnetic radiation. 5. The MIBs had a protective energy field around them.”

Wayne dug further into what was rapidly escalating into a very strange situation: “Harry Joyner owns a photolab (Joyner and Associates) in Charlotte. He has offered to give us free photographic assistance on any case. He listened to the taped interview. The description of the ruined film indicates the following: total exposure to light or intense heat or chemical fumes or exposure to gamma, alpha or beta radiation. The witnesses said they made no darkroom mistakes while developing the film. Harry also does some photographic work for the FBI. He told (at my request) on of the FBI agents of the MIB incident. He asked the agent if the two MIBs could have been FBI agents. The agent replied “No.” The agent wasn’t involved in the 1972 Freedom Park affair. However, he said that the FBI would never dress like that, and act in such a manner (not moving around, not talking, etc.).”

Wayne concluded: “Although no UFO is involved here, the two Men in Black appear to be MIBs. Nolie Bell of the Tar Heel UFO Study Group, Winston, Salem, N.C. knows of a similar case. Two MIBs were spotted at a Kent State Memorial service. That report said the MIBs had oriental features. Also, John Keel related to me that he knows of one case in which possible MIBs were photographed. A photograph was taken of a group of (outdoors) attending a meeting of a radical nature. There were two men in different parts of the crowd. They had on black suits with turtleneck shirts. They both looked like twins. They had lean, angular faces. The hair was cropped short. This was a group photo. It was not a close-up. Incidentally, this was in England. I feel this case is significant as it involves a close-up attempt to photograph a UFO.”

When I read Wayne’s account – of both the MIB and the FBI being present at the scene in question – it instantly made me think of something John Keel once wrote on the matter of two different kinds of Men in Black. Keel put down on paper, on March 15, 1968 the following: “I have very substantial reasons for believing that the current explosion of MIB activity is directly related to a forthcoming national crisis. The crisis has been developing over a long period of time. The numerous hoaxes, deceptions, and seeming meaningless incidents inherent in the UFO phenomenon have actually served to cover up the real situation.” Now, we get to the crux of the matter. Keel added: “It appears as if two groups of MIB are involved[italics mine]. One group is extremely dangerous. They have committed murder and arson on a broad scale, operating under the carefully constructed umbrella of ridicule and nonsense surrounding the UFO phenomenon. The second group is trying to focus our attention on the first group by imitating MIB activity through harmless interviews, presentation of obviously false credentials, etc. We must understand and appreciate the efforts of this second group, and learn to discriminate between the two.”

I thought, Keel was always ahead of his time. In whatever afterlife domain he now dwells, he probably still is.

In December 2018, a strange radar anomaly appeared over the Midwestern United States. Civilian weather radar showed a massive, stationary blob that hovered near Evansville, Indiana for over ten hours in a relatively tight formation. Months later, similar anomalies appeared on radar systems in Sydney, Australia and near Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico.

Many aviation insiders quickly floated the theory that these anomalies were caused by a new type of chaff, a type of aircraft countermeasure which involves launching clouds of metallic fibers into the air to confuse enemy radar systems. If that’s the case as has been assumed, why test it over civilian areas, though?

A pair of B-1B Lancers deploy chaff and flares during a military exercise.

Now, three months after the New Mexico incident, another strange radar anomaly has appeared in the United States, this time over Southern California. Meteorologists throughout the area spotted a dense blob on weather radar covering some 80 square miles (130 sq km). As in previous cases, the anomalous formation appeared on a clear day without any cloud cover. “It was very strange because it was a relatively clear day and we weren’t really expecting any rain or thunderstorms,” National Weather Service meteorologist Casey Oswant told NPR. “But on our radar, we were seeing something that indicated there was something out there.”

Residents of America’s western deserts are no stranger to aerial mysteries and curiosities given the region’s numerous military aerospace and weapons development facilities, but the explanation offered for this most recent radar mystery is odd. According to the National Weather Service in San Diego, this radar anomaly was caused by a massive swarm of ladybugs flying miles above the ground.

This particular phenomenon is known as a “bloom” and occurs whenever large populations of ladybugs all migrate at once to seek food or warm weather in winter. Still, experts say the timing is odd; these blooms typically appear earlier in the year as winter gives way to spring. “It’s not exactly clear why we’re seeing this big swarm now that we haven’t before,” says Cornell University entomologist John Losey. “Is that just sort of a random effect of what happened in the weather and the prey populations? Is it having something to do with climate change that’s sort of condensing when they all are going to fly?”

Not all ecologist and entomologists are buying the ladybug bloom story. James Cornett, senior scientist with the aptly-named James W. Cornett Ecological Consultants, says a ladybug swarm that size would have darkened the skies and created a panic. “There would have been unbelievable numbers of telephone calls to the police,” Cornett said. “It merits some investigation.” The San Bernardino County Fire Department received no reports of massive ladybug swarms.

Apparently, the ladybug theory was put forward by a single weather service spotter who reported a high number of ladybugs in the area at the time of the swarm. Could these ladybugs be a convenient scapegoat? This is only the latest in several strikingly similar radar anomalies, yet insects were not cited in any of the other incidents.

Judging from radar footage posted to Twitter by the National Weather Service, this alleged ladybug swarm was spotted moving south from what suspiciously seems to be either Edwards Air Force Base or the Fort Irwin National Training Center, one of the U.S. Army’s premier training centers. The Fort Irwin site houses mock cities and villages designed to resemble urban areas around the world and frequently uses both live and simulated unmanned aerial vehicles to prepare units to face these threats in the field. Edwards AFB, meanwhile, is home to all manner of Air Force testing and research centers which develop black budget aerospace projects and the most bleeding edge aircraft technologies. Much of the airspace surrounding the area where the “ladybug swarm” was spotted is restricted to military use.

According to the radar images shared by the NWS, the swarm appeared to originate from a point just northwest of Barstow. Hmm…

The location of this anomalous radar blob pretty coincidental, and the fact that nobody saw or photographed an 80-mile wide swarm of insects flying just a few thousand feet off the ground is pretty weird. Could this ladybug bloom have actually been a swarm of tiny drones, a test of some radar-spoofing electronic warfare technology, or something far spookier? It wouldn’t mark the first time the military has tested a swarm of micro-drones over California. Which seems more likely, particularly given that some ecologists doubt the ladybug story?

The following reports have been submitted to Mufon and show strange objects in the sky over Estrella Mountain and Globe, Arizona.

On April 16, 2019 two cigar-shaped UFOs flying at an enormous speed over the Estrella Mountain in Arizona.

The witness who was filming the landscape accidentally caught the two UFOs on tape. He says "These crafts are very fast I have to slow down for you to see."

The UFOs appeared in only two frames.

On May 29, 2019 another high speed object appears over the Estrella Mountain, Arizona.

The photographer said that the object was gone in a flash. Given the very high speed of the object it doesn’t seem to be a drone.

The black objects in the image are birds.

On May 18, 2019 once again a strange winged object has been photographed and this time over Globe, Arizona.

The photographer says: Was fast caught it on slow motion camera zoomed in on the square object.

It is not clear whether the objects are secret military vehicles or UFOs.

Want Full Disclosure? This Is What You Have To Do To Make It Happen, UFO Sighting News.

Literally the most important and most asked question in UFO research is...how to bring about full disclosure?  I thought about that over the last decade and came to realise that there was only one way. We need to nominate and win a Nobel Peace Prize. 

A Nobel Peace Prize would make scientists, historians, professors and professionals around the world take UFO and aliens research seriously, as a whole new area of science that needs serious consideration. 

Yeah, you heard me right. We need to find a person from the UFO community that is worthy of such a prize. Someone that cares nothing about fame, about money, but only wants the truth. Someone who has risked everything and received nothing in return. That person of course is UK hacker Gary McKinnon. 

I see a lot of people in the UFO community, dozens making a living doing it, others making more than doctors from donations, movie making, TV shows, views and such. Gary asks for nothing but the truth, and guess what? He found it in US military computers. He found evidence of off world officers in US military computers and fought the NSA and CIA for years who tried to extradite him to the USA and put him in prison. Gary is not a national hero, he is a world hero. He cared nothing of himself, but only seeked to improve the life of everyone everywhere through knowledge.

To nominate Gary McKinnon for the award, the nominator needs to qualify in one of the below areas.

1. Members of national assemblies and national governments (cabinet members/ministers) of sovereign states as well as current heads of state. 

2. Members of The International Court of Justice in The Hague and The Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague,

3. Members of l'Institut de Droit International 

4. Members of the Executive Committee of the international board of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom 

5. University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion; university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes

6. Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 

7. Members of the main board of directors or its equivalent of organizations that have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

8. Current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee (proposals by current members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after 1 February) 

9. Former advisers to the Norwegian Nobel Committee

Do you qualify in one of the above 9 categories? Then click here to nominate our champion...Gary McKinnon.

Antarctica's Origins Update – Part One: Deglaciation Reveals More Amazing Secrets

Rapidly gaining all the elements to create a truly groundbreaking and newsworthy discovery, Guest Author, Satellite Archaeologist, and pioneering Independent Researcher, William James Veall, is poised to enter the history books as he slowly and surely lifts the lid off the icy tomb that has encapsulated the Continent of Antarctica for the past million years or so.

[Read Previous Report]

New Inscriptions and Legends

I have tabulated just a few more of the inscriptions and legends exposed by the remote sensing, NASA, and DigiGlobe platforms.

Discoveries of significance follow the table in separate entities, as each needs to be supported by explanatory text and satellite photographs. All symbols, characters and imagery are interpreted within the limitations of the workpiece, which may have been subjected to severe environmental distortions leading to occasional unavoidable misinterpretations.

A selection of newly exposed symbols: Marambio Is. Antarctica. 

(Author provided)

Additional to the original hominin portrait from Nelson Island, (see Figure 2(a) below). I have added two new hominin images discovered on Marambio Island. Hominids include all modern and extinct great apes. Hominins are any species of early human that is more closely related to humans than to chimpanzees; this also includes modern humans.

Hominin images, left - right: Figures 2(a), 2(b), and 2(c) – Lucianna.

(Author provided)

An obvious question: do these images, whomsoever carved them, record the remnants of an indigenous population living on Antarctica long before the first emigre's arrived - whether they came 'Out of Africa', or were Minoans, Tamils, Hindus, Egyptians, or Sumerians from Bolivia, et al?                          

Many of the human head and animal portraits I have exposed are either individually marked with legends or closely associated with inscriptive material, thus, as I have already pointed out in the past, general epigraphy enables a reasonably realistic and logical chronological time frame to be constructed for the artifact in question.

The Hominin with Flowers

Let us study Figure 2(a); without doubt a hominin. Observe the headware - garlanded with a flowered headband, another flower in the hair, and even the associated script is embellished with a flower! See also figure 4(a).

Figure 2(a) (left) and Figure 4(a) (right) - a hominin.

(Author provided)

This is no primitive hominid, but a socially organized Homo sapiens many generations advanced from its ancestors of, say, 100,000 years before. A species that evolved cognitively either by cross breeding or natural selection.

According to current anthropological and genealogical thinking, such hybridization between, for example, the Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon would have an overlap time frame of 50,000 - 30,000 years ago, after which time the Neanderthals gradually died out - to be replaced by the artistic, cave painting, Cro-Magnon - who struck and used tools, wove cloth, made jewelry, and may have had an elementary form of speech. The Cro-magnon spanned the era 35,000-10,000 years ago, i.e. about 8,000 BC.

If the headbands worn by Figures 4(a) and 4(b) are accepted as a signature of group identity then, in my humble opinion, one can hypothesize that they fall into the category: homo sapiens australiopithecus (southern apes).

Figures 4(a) (left) and 4(b) (right) – note the headbands.

A Very Strange, Almost Alien-Like Humanoid

Figure 3(a) is, indeed, a very strange, almost alien-like humanoid with a long elongated skull, large eye sockets set with rather globular eyes - each partially closed by epicanthic eye lids. A light cranial ridge is visible, and the large mouth exposes the same crude and irregular incisors as Figure 2(a).

• Astonishing Human Heads: Do Satellite Photographs Now Prove Existence of Humans on Antarctica…6000 Years Ago? – Part I
• A Message on the Shore: Do Satellite Photographs Now Prove Existence of Humans on Antarctica…6000 Years Ago? – Part II

Figure 3(a) (left) – a strange, almost alien-like humanoid, similar to the elongated skull shown in Figure 3(b) (right). (Author provided) The photograph of the elongated skull, Fig. 3(b) is reproduced with the kind permission of Fine Arts and Facial Reconstruction Artist, Marcia K Moore, Ciamar Studio, USA. Her skeletal silhouette is used as a comparison piece with the unique sculpture discovered on Mariambo Island, Figure 3(a).

There is no visual evidence that the nose is other than flat or non-existent; the profile has a typical receding chin and jawline. Most noticeable is the lack of hair either on the face or over the skull. The fact that there are none of the usual sutures caused by cultural deformation to the cranium, suggests the elongated head is completely natural.

Original examination of the figure showed no obvious facial adornment, however, light highlighting, to improve printout, exposed a familiar 'star' marking on the left cheekbone, thus elevating this hominid into the ranks of hominin.

Additionally, carved into the same workpiece (lower right of the image) is a very indistinct legend, implying by its closeness that it might relate directly to the hominin itself; these two features, the 'star' and the legend, when translated, might help construct a provenance.

Although 'writing' was invented circa 3500 BC, i.e. about 6000 years ago, in Mesopotamia, current thinking suggests simple inscribed trading tokens were in wide use as 'proto money'  by the 8th Millenium BC. Also believed by some scientists to be the basic symbols from which the very system of 'writing' evolved. If associated, then Figure 3(a) could date somewhere between 8000 to 7001 BC.

For comparison, the earliest known elongated skulls are Early Neolithic, circa 10,000 BC. Other skulls have been discovered in Egypt, Australia, and Iraq. Elongated skulls from Brazil, for example, are dated circa 7500 BC. (after Dr R. Louise. PhD.)

Example of the Paracas elongated skulls.

( Public Domain )

Many skulls and bones have been discovered over time, but, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time sculptures depicting what hominins actually looked like 'in the flesh' have been discovered anywhere in the world.

Anthropologically speaking, I have some doubts about hominin, Figure 3 (a), which is certainly not of the 'great ape' lineage with its gentle, amphibian-like, globular eyes, epicanthic eyelids and elongated head - great ape heads are rather rounded with small piggy eyes and heavy cranial ridges.

However, both have the ragged protruding incisors in common. Does this suggest a new and different hybrid lineage? If so, what was the original parentage?

Any attempts to untangle the 'Out of Africa' theory and its multiple global migrations and connotations of integration effect is beyond the scope of this update. Satellite imagery can only introduce a suspect situation; it cannot replace a full and proper 'on the ground' forensic evaluation.

‘An Almost Child-Like Quality’

From the many new satellite portraits I have taken over Marambio Island, I have chosen to publish Figure 4(b); this dark toned image has an almost child-like quality. It has a small globular head with short black hair, large expressive eyes, a small round mouth and pointed chin, and, like the hominin in Figure 4(a), it sports a headband carrying a small flower motif.

Left-right: Figure 4(a), Figure 4(b) normal exposure, Figure 4(b) overexposed.

My visual description, however, may be misleading: 'child-like quality' could also infer that the hominin is small of stature after the likes of the hominid 'Lucy', an Australopithecus afarensis discovered in Ethiopia 40 years ago.

Lucy was a rather lightly built hominid with a small, globular skull, thin brow ridge, large eye sockets, small mouth with neat teeth, and a short jawline. Her skeletal DNA recorded an age of 3.2 million years.

Is it possible that 'Lucy' and Figure 4(b) are from the same ancestral line, albeit 'Lucy's skeleton was discovered in Ethiopia and the portrait of 'Luciana' (well, why not?) was sculptured from a rock in Antarctica?

There is an alternative hypothesis: Figure 4(a) and Figure 4(b) are each located on the Antarctica Peninsula and wear the same garlanded headband. Could this infer the same group identity, same species and same provenance? The fact that 'Luciana' appears the more 'delicate' of the two might even suggest 'she' is the female of the species, Homo sapien australiopithecus.

Anthropologists believe at one point in time Homo sapiens became socially organized, may have developed a 'closed' form of simple speech, and had symbolic behavior (art) which they used for group identity or communication, e.g. painting themselves with black or red ochre mineral pigments and wearing simple shell 'jewelry' adornment.

If this hypothesis is to be sustained, we must not forget that the creation of a notation system and figurative art could not be achieved without the leap made in the Middle Stone Age (MSA) from the old fashioned Acheulean tool kit to the Mousterian era - which made available, amongst other tools, extremely sharp stone chisels, sometime between 100,000 BC and 40,000 BC.

Who Were the Early Explorers to Antarctica?

Hence is it fair to speculate that the indigenous population on Antarctica created their own rock-cut intaglios to which they added a system of 'written' notation? If so, did a colored race of homo sapiens bring this knowledge with them 'Out of Africa'?

The fascinating account of finding two near identical human head portraits; Figure 5(a) and 5(b), one rock carved on Marambio Island, Antarctica, the other standing as a monument far across the oceans on the Yala Beach front, Sri Lanka, as demonstrated in the photo-strip below, placed the Tamils among the earliest explorers to touch down on the Continent of Antarctica more than 6000 years ago.

This important discovery strengthened my hypothesis that the Tamils established a trans-oceanic trading route from Sri Lanka, south along the coastlines of Indonesia to Papua New Guinea, and across the Torres Strait directly on to Australia's Cape York Peninsula.

FBI geeft analyse van haren van vermeende Bigfoot uit jaren 70 vrij - HLN.be

Bron: CNBC

Peter Byrne komt uit Oregon. Hij gelooft al tientallen jaren in het bestaan van mythische figuren die we kennen als Bigfoot, Sasquatch, yeti of de verschrikkelijke sneeuwman. Op 24 november 1976 schreef hij de FBI aan met de vraag om 15 haren op een stukje huid te analyseren. “Het gebeurt niet vaak dat we haren tegenkomen die we niet kunnen thuisbrengen”, schreef hij in de correspondentie die de FBI nu publiek heeft gemaakt. “Het is het eerste haar dat we konden bemachtigen in zes jaar tijd waarvan we vermoeden dat het belangrijk is.”

In een eerdere brief had hij de FBI gevraagd of ze haar van “vermoedelijk een Bigfoot” - en waarvan hij meende te weten dat het naar de FBI was gestuurd - hadden getest. Byrne benadrukte dat het “om een ernstige zaak ging waarop een antwoord zou moeten komen”. Eind 1976 antwoordde de FBI dat ze normaal alleen “fysiek bewijs voor politiediensten in verband met criminele zaken” onderzochten.

Hertenhaar

Adjunct-directeur Jay Cochran Jr. voegde er wel nog aan toe dat uitzonderingen mogelijk zijn. “We zullen het haar en het weefsel waarvan u gewag maakt in uw brief onderzoeken”, schreef Cochran. Al in februari 1977 maakte Cochran de conclusies van het labo bekend: “De haren zijn afkomstig van een hertachtige”.

De 93-jarige Peter Byrne herinnert zich de correspondentie met de FBI niet meer. Maar hij is wel altijd blijven zoeken naar bewijs van het bestaan van Bigfoot. Hij droomt er nog altijd van een Bigfoot of een yeti te vinden, al heeft hij er zelf nooit een gezien, geeft hij toe. “Tien dagen geleden zag een betrouwbare, goeie vriend van mij een Bigfoot”, beweert Byrne. En zeven houthakkers beweerden dat ze vorig jaar een vermoedelijke Sasquatch hebben gespot.

De interesse van Peter Byrne voor Bigfoot dateert van zijn kindertijd, toen zijn vader hem verhaaltjes over de yeti in het Himalayagebergte voor het slapengaan vertelde. In 1946 kreeg hij een eerste kans om op zoek te gaan naar de yeti. Hij zat toen bij de British Royal Air Force in Bombay in India. Eind jaren 50 ondernam hij drie grote expedities in Nepal.

Sociale fraude

De afgelopen 50 jaar beweert Byrne twee of drie paar mogelijke voetafdrukken van de yeti te hebben gevonden in de Himalaya, op een hoogte van meer dan 4,5 km. Maar aan CNBC gaf hij toe dat die mogelijk van sadhoes waren, hindoeïstische asceten die hij zelf op die hoogte blootsvoets in de sneeuw heeft zien wandelen. In de Pacific Northwest vond hij ooit een “enorme voetafdruk” van wat een rechtopstaand zoogdier moet zijn geweest met vijf tenen aan elke voet en met een “stap van 117 centimeter”.

Vandaag is Byrne nog altijd actief in zijn zoektocht, maar “het is een hobby voor mij geworden”, zegt hij.

Peter Byrne is overigens niet onbesproken. In augustus 2013 werd hij tot drie jaar voorwaardelijk veroordeeld voor sociale fraude. Voor de overheid had hij zijn buitenlandse tripjes tussen 1992 en 2012 verzwegen en om onterecht 70.000 euro aan onterechte uitkeringen te kunnen toucheren. Hij liet ook de royalty’s van zijn boeken op de rekening van zijn vriendin storten.

Guy Uses Telepathy To Call UFOs To Him On TV News, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of video: October 2009

This is an old TV news video, but it really has stuck in my head over the years. Meditation...something I easily dismissed as being possible, but after decades of UFO research I have found that it is a factual skill and a useful one when trying to summon an UFO orb to record. You don't have to be a religious or special, just realise a few things...and then put the effort in. 

1.  Understand everything is energy. You, me, the sky, trees, UFOs, planets, space. So there is no distance between us, we are connected already.

2. Silence your mind. Block out all problems, stresses and focus purely on your friends in the sky.

3. Get emotionally involved. If you don't feel message, then it wont be delivered. Emotions are the fuel that delivers telepathy. The stronger the emotions, the faster its delivered. 

I've done this and about 30% of the time got responses instantly. From a baseball size UFO 2 meters from me, to having an alien approach me saying the secret message in my head in front of my whole family in a museum, to even creating a 5.0 earthquake that almost made me fall while running in the park and telepathically sending messages to aliens. So...if I'm brave enough to tell you about my experiences, maybe you can be brave enough to try. It only takes one minute to 5 minutes to get a response.

UFO Disk Found On Mountain Top In Arizona, Could It Be Ancient Tech? UFO Sighting News.

Location of object: Black Mountains, Arizona, USA

I think this disk stone object could possibly be an actual UFO. Let me explain. The weight of a UFO means nothing. The alien propulsion system could make an solid gold elephant fly. But I feel that some UFOs were made to withstand destruction. They were made to work remotely without occupants. They were used in war and needed to be strong...so they made them solid with the nano tech built into it, much like a 3D printer creates an object with is software and hardware all built into it so it cannot be damaged. Now you have the ultimate war machine. One that can really take a beating. This one seems to have landed on top of this mountain in Arizona and sat there ever sine. Maybe millions of years and the tough material blends into the environment and people assume its part of the mountain. Its not the only stone-like UFO disk ever found...there have been hundreds discovered worldwide.

The Pentagon’s UFOs 

How a Multimedia Entertainment Company created a UFO news story

BY ROBERT SHEAFFER

On December 16, 2017, the New York Times published “Glowing Auras and Black Money—The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program,” a now-famous article about the previously unknown Pentagon UFO study program, as reported by To The Stars Academy (TTSA). It was founded by a rock musician named Tom DeLonge, formerly of the band Blink-182, who describes TTSA as an “independent multimedia entertainment company.” This set off a media UFO frenzy that still continues.

To show how little TTSA’s people understand about what they are doing, the so-called “glowing auras” surrounding the objects in the widely circulated video shot by a military jet represent nothing more than a processing artifact of the infrared image. But TTSA’s “experts,” as well as those who look up to them, don’t realize that obvious fact and think instead that it represents something deeply mysterious.

Most people didn’t notice that Leslie Kean, one of the authors of this piece, is a dedicated UFO promoter who has written a popular UFO book. She is also very gullible, at one point promoting a video of a fly buzzing around as if it were some great proof of high-performance UFOs. (And she still has not admitted that she was fooled by the fly.) Another author of the article, Ralph Blumenthal, has also been a UFO believer for years. So this was not the customary news article written by New York Times journalists assigned to investigate a mystery and write an objective story. Instead, it was crafted by UFO believers to appear neutral and objective when it is anything but.

Now the other shoe has dropped. On May 26, 2019 the New York Timescarried another article by Helene Cooper, Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean—the same three authors as the earlier piece—headlined “Wow, what is that?’ Navy Pilots Report Unexplained Flying Objects.” They write:

The strange objects, one of them like a spinning top moving against the wind, appeared almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, high in the skies over the East Coast. Navy pilots reported to their superiors that the objects had no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes, but that they could reach 30,000 feet and hypersonic speeds. “These things would be out there all day,” said Lt. Ryan Graves, an F/A-18 Super Hornet pilot who has been with the Navy for 10 years.

One seriously wonders why, if unknown objects were supposedly seen “almost daily” for nearly a year, and hung around “all day,” we don’t have overwhelming video, photographic, and instrumental evidence of them, removing all doubt about their appearance and behavior? In reality, all we see are the same three blurry infrared videos promoted by TTSA, over and over again. This makes no sense at all. Doesn’t the Navy have any cameras, radar and other surveillance equipment?

As for the so-called “Tic Tac” video of 2004 (see image below), serious fault lines are starting to appear in the differing accounts of various persons involved. David Fravor is the pilot who was vectored to the supposed location of the Tic Tac UFO but didn’t see anything in the air at that location. Looking down, he saw a disturbance in the water, which he presumed was caused by the object that apparently had just been airborne. Of course, it is a big assumption that the two must necessarily be the same.

Fravor spoke at the recent UFO Fest in McMinnville, Oregon (held annually to honor the famous Trent UFO Photos, taken just outside that town). Reporter George Knapp and documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell were also on the panel. Fravor sharply criticized the accounts of certain other people who were involved and have been speaking about the incident. He seemed to be singling out the account of the radar operator, Kevin Day, as being non-factual. He dismissed claims of Air Force personnel coming on board the Nimitz and confiscating evidence as being untrue. Fravor also referred to Dave Beaty’s “Nimitz UFO Encounters” documentary as a “cartoon.” This prompted Knapp to say to Fravor, “I guess you’re being diplomatic, but some of the stories and claims that have been made by people, who may have been on those ships, are just bullshit.” When people began commenting about these remarkable disagreements, Corbell pulled the video off YouTube.

There was little that was new or unexpected in the long-anticipated May 31 premiere of the series “Unidentified” on the History Channel. Produced by Tom DeLonge, whose efforts have more or less dominated UFO news for the past two years, it repeated the same claims that I and others have have already written about many times. Sandwiched between episodes of “Ancient Aliens,” the first of six episodes of “Unidentified” concentrated on the “Tic Tac” UFO. Here are a few things about that episode that I found to be misleading or incorrect:

• Much is made of the fact that reports were generated by highly trained military pilots, some with combat experience. The implication is that their observations are far more credible than those of just ordinary folks. But longtime UFO researchers recall that Dr. J. Allen Hynek, the former U. S. Air Force Project Blue Book scientific consultant, wrote “Surprisingly, commercial and military pilots appear to make relatively poor witnesses” (The Hynek UFO Report, 1977, p. 271). The pilot is, and must be, focused on keeping the aircraft safely aloft, and not on watching some strange-looking object.
• The Pentagon did not “disclose” or “release” anything about UFOs. This whole “disclosure” line came about from statements by TTSA’s Luis Elizondo and others, and not from any internal Pentagon activity. The Defense Department’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) came about because multimillionaire investor (and longtime UFO believer) Robert Bigelow, a frequent campaign contributor to Sen. Harry Reid, prevailed upon Reid, then the Democratic leader in the Senate, to set up the AATIP program. AATIP then funneled $22 million in contracts to Bigelow’s company (because that’s how things are done in Washington). The only thing that AATIP is known to have produced are 38 papers in weird physics, like anti-gravity, wormholes, and negative mass propulsion.

• TTSA has claimed from its inception that the Pentagon released the three blurry infrared videos that they ceaselessly show us. They claim to have “chain of custody” documentation for the videos, but nobody has ever seen this documentation. Elizondo recently released to George Knapp, a reporter friendly to TTSA (and it seems to anybody else making UFO claims) a copy of a document purporting to show the videos’ release. But a careful analysis by John Greenewald of The Black Vault shows beyond any doubt that the document does not prove what Elizondo claims it does. Greenewald notes,

we have no proof of any [official Pentagon] release, let alone what is being touted [the videos] is even the same evidence connected to this DD Form 1910. If we see a blatant disregard for the truth by Mr. Elizondo on display with this DD Form 1910, and we see the same disregard for the truth by To The Stars Academy as they have touted documents proving a public release—how can we believe everything or anything else from the same sources?

In the first episode, Luis Elizondo spoke again about his “five observables”, which I wrote about September of 2018. One of them was “Instantaneous acceleration,” supposedly shown by the Tic Tac UFO’s rapid disappearance from the IR video. In a preview segment from “Unidentified” shown on Fox News, TTSA’s Chris Cooke attributes this movement to the object itself. Elizondo has made this claim in his lectures many times. In reality, back in December, 2017 Mick West of the excellent site Metabunk showed that the “sudden acceleration” of the object was, in fact, due to a change in the zoom factor of the camera at that point. Surprisingly, Cooke’s comment about “acceleration” was cut from the final show; instead, Cooke is heard to say “Somebody changed the zoom.” But Elizondo repeated the ‘instantaneous acceleration’ claimon Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox news just a few hours before the series premiere. As for the other four “observables,” they are more accurately called “assumables” than “observables”.

One recent development that is significant, and is not mentioned on the program or by TTSA: According to an article in The Drive by Joseph Trevithick and Tyler Rogoway:

the Times’ story doesn’t mention that between 2014 and 2015, Graves and Accoin, and all the other personnel assigned to Carrier Air Wing One (CVW-1) and the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, as well as everyone else in the associated carrier strike group, or CSG, were taking part in series of particularly significant exercises. The carrier had only returned to the fleet after major four-year-long overhaul, also known as a Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH), in August 2013. This process included installing various upgrades, such as systems associated with the latest operational iteration of the Navy’s Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) and its embedded Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA) architecture. This is a critical detail. When the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group encountered the Tic Tac in 2004, it was in the midst of the first ever CSG-level operations of the initial iteration of the CEC.

In other words, in 2004 the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group got its radar upgrade, and soon was reporting “unidentified objects”, including the Tic Tac. In 2014-15, Carrier Air Wing One got its radar upgrade, and soon they, too, were reporting UFOs galore. One could interpret this to mean that the radars had finally gotten powerful enough to detect the UFOs that had long been knocking about. But a more prudent interpretation is that the radars had gotten powerful enough to begin detecting birds, small balloons, insect clouds, ice crystals, windborne debris, and various other things found in the atmosphere. Arguing in favor of the latter interpretation is that these radars are apparently no longer detecting anomalous objects, which itself is extremely significant. It suggests that, in all likelihood, after being puzzled by anomalous objects appearing on the new radar, the operators finally figured out what was happening, and no longer are troubled by anomalies.

And in a last-minute bombshell, reporter Keith Kloor finally did what reporters are supposed to do, and ask tough questions about persons in the news making claims. Writing in The Intercept on June 1, Kloor’s piece is headlined “The Media loves the UFO expert who says he worked for an obscure Pentagon program. Did he?” Kloor writes…

there is one crucial detail missing from “Unidentified,” as well as from all the many stories that have quoted Elizondo since he outed himself nearly two years ago to a wide-eyed news media: There is no discernible evidence that he ever worked for a government UFO program, much less led one.

Yes, AATIP existed, and it “did pursue research and investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena,” Pentagon spokesperson Christopher Sherwood told me. However, he added: “Mr. Elizondo had no responsibilities with regard to the AATIP program while he worked in OUSDI [the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence], up until the time he resigned effective 10/4/2017.”

That directly contradicts an email sent by a spokesperson for To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, a UFO research and entertainment company that Elizondo joined after he left the Defense Department.

Kloor adds that the only supposed confirmation of Elizondo’s involvement with AATIP comes from Bryan Bender of Politico:

“Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White confirmed to Politico that the program existed and was run by Elizondo,” Bryan Bender wrote in December 2017. (Earlier this year, White, a Trump administration political appointee, resigned amid an internal probe into charges of misconduct.) But Pentagon spokesperson Christopher Sherwood told me that he “cannot confirm” White’s statement.

As it happens, Bender, who is Politico’s defense editor, had a recurring role in the first episode of “Unidentified.” He appeared on camera numerous times as a kind of authoritative character witness for Elizondo, Mellon, and their UFO investigations.

So Bender cannot be considered an objective reporter on TTSA, and Elzondo’s supposed involvement with AATIP is supported only on his own word. Kloor further notes that Elizondo will not respond to his inquiries, but obviously has no difficulty being interviewed by other reporters who give him softball questions. I have seen this behavior time and again among UFOlogists who are peddling dubious claims.

Not everyone is happy about Kloor’s expose. “Disclosure” advocate Stephen Basset of the Paradigm Research Group writes:

It is the most egregious hit piece directed at the extraterrestrial presence issue and Disclosure I have ever read in 22 years. It measures up to some of the worst such articles written by Phil Klass, the most vicious debunker on record. Stanton Friedman presented a cogent case that Klass was in the direct employ of the CIA during his disgraceful career.

Note that Basset does not point out anything wrong in what Kloor has written, but he just knows it’s got to be wrong. Clearly the piece has hit a nerve with E.T. proponents. As for Phil Klass, I knew him well, and what Basset says about Klass is Loony Tunes.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe May Solve 500-Year-Old Sun Mystery

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is on its way to another close encounter with the sun, where investigators hope the spacecraft will solve a long-standing solar mystery: Why is the sun's outer atmosphere millions of degrees hot (Fahrenheit or Celsius), while the surface is only about 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit (3,300 degrees Celsius)?

One theory says that this spectacular heating comes from small magnetic wavesmoving back and forth between the sun's surface and upper atmosphere. New research based on a previous NASA mission suggests that the key lies in a region of the sun called the zone of preferential heating.

"Whatever the physics is behind this superheating, it's a puzzle that has been staring us in the eye for 500 years," Justin Kasper, lead author on the new research, a University of Michigan professor of climate and space sciences, and principal investigator for the Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) instrument onboard the probe, said in a statement. "In just two more years, Parker Solar Probe will finally reveal the answer."

From what scientists know so far about this superheating, it's a strange process. Some individual chemical elements warm up to different temperatures, and some heavy ions (or charged particles) get even hotter than the sun's core. 

All this heating makes the solar atmosphere, also known as the corona, balloon above the sun's surface. That atmosphere is visible during total solar eclipses, when the moon passes in front of the sun. For a few moments during those events, the corona shines brightly in the sky.

Also embedded in the zone of superheating is a phenomenon known as Alfvén waves, which are small magnetic waves in an electrically conducting fluid (such as plasma) inside a magnetic field. At the edge of this superheating zone, the solar wind (a constant stream of charged particles emanating from the sun) moves fast enough to escape the waves. But below that, the solar wind particles pingpong and accelerate due to waves pummeling the particles from every direction.

What scientists really want to know is just how far above the sun's surface this heating extends. While Parker isn't close enough to the sun to have reached that point yet, the researchers looked for it using decades of solar wind observations from NASA's Wind spacecraft, which launched in 1994 and is still working. Specifically, the scientists focused on observations of helium, a common element in the sun.

The scientists tracked the temperature of helium at different altitudes above the sun. The rate of temperature rise in that element diminishes as ions in the solar wind collide with each other. Scientists found that the superheating zone ends somewhere between 10 and 50 solar radii above the surface of the sun.

Further analysis, however, suggested that the outer edge might be connected with the Alfvén point, the distance above the surface at which particles in the solar wind escape the sun. Previous research has shown that the Alfvén point can rise and fall as the sun gets more or less active. 

So, Kasper and his co-author examined Wind's data year by year. What they found surprised them: The outer boundary for the superheating zone and the Alfvén point "moved in lockstep in a totally predictable fashion, despite being completely independent calculations," Kasper said. 

Both those lines will continue to move as Parker Solar Probe sneaks closer and closer to the sun, so the researchers also calculated when the spacecraft would intersect with those boundaries. That moment, when the probe can send back data from these crucial regions, should happen in 2021 — giving scientists a whole new look at our sun.

A paper based on the research was published Tuesday (June 4) in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Why Mars Lightning Is Weak and Rare

By Charles Q. Choi 

If it exists at all, that is.

If lightning exists on Mars, it may be less energetic and frequent than lightning on Earth, all because of the Red Planet's thin air, a new study finds.

Scientists announced the first evidence of lightning on Mars in 2009, after they detected microwave emissions from a 2006 dust storm on the Red Planet that the researchers suggested came from sudden, huge electrical discharges. 

However, subsequent research failed to find radio evidence of lightning in Martian dust storms, despite five years of data collected by Europe's Mars Express spacecraft and three months of data from the Allen Telescope Array in California.

• RELATED: The 7 Biggest Mysteries of Mars

To investigate why thunderbolts are rare on Mars, scientists focused on the kind of lightning that dust storms could generate. Sand grains and other particles in these storms can build up electric charge through the "triboelectric effect," the same effect behind everyday static electricity. When two objects repeatedly collide with or rub against one another, the surface of one material can steal electrons from the surface of the other, accumulating charge.

In the new study, scientists experimented with grains of basalt, a dark volcanic rock common in the crust of Mars. The researchers placed spherical grains about 1 to 2 millimeters wide on a plate that vibrated for 30 minutes to generate triboelectric charge. Scientists extracted grains from a hole in the center of the plate to measure their level of electric charge.

The researchers varied the air pressure in the chamber in which the experiment took place from 0.03 millibars to 80 millibars. In comparison, the average atmospheric pressure on Mars is 6 millibars, ranging from less than 1 millibar at the highest Martian volcanic peaks to more than 10 millibars in the Red Planet's deep valleys. On Earth, the average atmospheric pressure is about 1,000 millibars at sea level.

The scientists found that electric charge had difficulty accumulating on the basalt grains at low air pressures. All in all, the electric charge on the grains at Martian air pressure was at least five times smaller than at the highest pressure tested, and it was smaller still compared to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. Essentially, at the atmospheric pressure on Mars, "tribocharging works the least for sand-sized grains," study lead author Gerhard Wurm, a planetary scientist at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany, told Space.com.

On Earth, other phenomena, such as cosmic rays from deep space or ultraviolet radiation from the sun, can also generate the electric charge needed for lightning. However, these mechanisms are likely not strong enough on Mars to help generate lightning there, Wurm said.

The scientists detailed their findings in the October 2019 issue of the journal Icarus.

D-Wave is a category of quantum machine created by D-Wave Systems, Inc., in Canada. The company seeks to exploit the potential quantum effects inherent in their processing systems.

Currently, D-Wave machines can only handle specific tasks. While they’re a long way from exponential speed dominance over classical computers, a recent paper suggests that D-Wave’s 2000Q computer can return solutions 2600 times faster than known algorithms.

A MYTHICAL FORM OF SPACE PROPULSION FINALLY GETS A REAL TEST

Scientists have debated for decades whether the propulsion concept known as EmDrive is real or wishful thinking. A sensitive new tool may at last provide an answer.

SINCE THE BIRTH of the space age, the dream of catching a ride to another solar system has been hobbled by the “tyranny of the rocket equation,” which sets hard limits on the speed and size of the spacecraft we sling into the cosmos. Even with today’s most powerful rocket engines, scientists estimate it would take 50,000 years to reach our closest interstellar neighbor, Alpha Centauri. If humans ever hope to see an alien sunrise, transit times will have to drop significantly.

Of the advanced propulsion concepts that could theoretically pull that off, few have generated as much excitement—and controversy—as the EmDrive. First described nearly two decades ago, the EmDrive works by converting electricity into microwaves and channeling this electromagnetic radiation through a conical chamber. In theory, the microwaves can exert force against the walls of the chamber to produce enough thrust to propel a spacecraft once it’s in space. At this point, however, the EmDrive exists only as a laboratory prototype, and it’s still unclear whether it’s able to produce thrust at all. If it does, the forces it generates aren’t strong enough to be registered by the naked eye, much less propel a spacecraft.

Over the past few years, however, a handful of research teams, including one from NASA, claim to have successfully produced thrust with an EmDrive. If true, it would amount to one of the biggest breakthroughs in the history of space exploration. The problem is that the thrust observed in these experiments is so small that it’s hard to tell if it’s real.

The resolution lies in designing a tool that can measure these minuscule amounts of thrust. So a team of physicists at Germany’s Technische Universität Dresden set out to create a device that would fill this need. Led by physicist Martin Tajmar, the SpaceDrive project aims to create an instrument so sensitive and immune to interference that it would put an end to the debate once and for all. In October, Tajmar and his team presented their second set of experimental EmDrive measurements at the International Astronautical Congress, and their results will be published in Acta Astronautica this August. Based on the results of these experiments, Tajmar says a resolution to the EmDrive saga may only be a few months away.

Many scientists and engineers dismiss the EmDrive because it appears to violate the laws of physics. Microwaves pushing on the walls of an EmDrive chamber seem to generate thrust ex nihilo, which runs afoul of the conservation of momentum—it’s all action and no reaction. Proponents of the EmDrive, in turn, have appealed to fringe interpretations of quantum mechanics to explain how the EmDrive might work without violating Newtonian physics. “From the theory point of view, no one takes this seriously,” Tajmar says. If the EmDrive is able to produce thrust, as some groups have claimed, he says they have “no clue where this thrust is coming from.” When there’s a theoretical rift of this magnitude in science, Tajmar sees only one way to close it: experimentation.

In late 2016, Tajmar and 25 other physicists gathered in Estes Park, Colorado, for the first conference dedicated to the EmDrive and related exotic propulsion systems. One of the most exciting presentations was given by Paul March, a physicist at NASA’s Eagleworks lab, where he and his colleague Harold White had been testing various EmDrive prototypes. According to March’s presentation and a subsequent paper published in the Journal of Propulsion and Power, he and White observed several dozen micro-newtons of thrust in their EmDrive prototype. (For the sake of comparison, a single SpaceX Merlin engine produces around 845,000 Newtons of thrust at sea level.) The problem for Harold and White, however, was that their experimental setup allowed for several sources of interference, so they couldn’t say for sure whether what they observed was thrust.

Tajmar and the Dresden group used a close replica of the EmDrive prototype used by Harold and White in their tests at NASA. It consists of a copper frustum—a cone with its top lopped off—that is just under a foot long. This design can be traced back to the engineer Roger Shawyer, who first described the EmDrive in 2001. During tests, the EmDrive cone is placed in a vacuum chamber. Outside the chamber, a device generates a microwave signal that gets relayed, using coaxial cables, to antennas inside the cone.

THE WIRED GUIDE TO ALIENS

This isn’t the first time the Dresden team has sought to measure nearly imperceptible amounts of force. They built similar contraptions for their work on ion thrusters, which are used to precisely position satellites in space. These micro-newton thrusters are the kind that were used by the LISA Pathfinder mission, which needs extremely precise positioning ability to detect faint phenomena like gravitational waves. But to study the EmDrive and similar propellantless propulsion systems, Tajmar says, required nano-newton resolution.

Their approach was to use a torsion balance, a pendulum-type balance that measures the amount of torque applied to the axis of the pendulum. A less sensitive version of this balance was also used by the NASA team when they thought their EmDrive produced thrust. To accurately gauge the small amount of force, the Dresden team used a laser interferometer to measure the physical displacement of the balance scales produced by the EmDrive. According to Tajmar, their torsion scale has a nano-newton resolution and supports thrusters weighing several pounds, making it the most sensitive thrust balance in existence.

But a really sensitive thrust balance isn’t much use unless you can also determine whether the detected force is in fact thrust and not an artifact of outside interference. And there are plenty of alternate explanations for Harold and White’s observations. To determine whether an EmDrive actually produces thrust, researchers must be able to shield the device from interference caused by the Earth's magnetic poles, seismic vibrations from the environment, and the thermal expansion of the EmDrive due to heating from the microwaves.

Tweaks to the design of the torsion balance—to better control the EmDrive's power supply and shield it from magnetic fields—took care of some of the interference issues, Tajmar says. A more difficult problem was how to address “thermal drift.” When power flows to the EmDrive, the copper cone heats up and expands, which shifts its center of gravity just enough to cause the torsion balance to register force that can be mistaken as thrust. Tajmar and his team hoped that changing the orientation of the thruster helped address that issue.

Over the course of 55 experiments, Tajmar and his colleagues registered an average of 3.4 micro-newtons of force from the EmDrive, which was very similar to what the NASA team found. Alas, these forces did not appear to pass the thermal drift test. The forces seen in the data were more indicative of thermal expansion than thrust.

All hope is not lost for the EmDrive, however. Tajmar and his colleagues are also developing two additional types of thrust balances, including a superconducting balance that will, among other things, help to eliminate false positives produced by thermal drift. If they detect force from an EmDrive on these balances, there’s a high probability that it is actually thrust. But if no force is registered on these balances, it likely means that all the previous EmDrive thrust observations were false positives. Tajmar says he hopes to have a final verdict by the end of the year.

But even a negative result from that work might not kill the EmDrive for good. There are many other propellantless propulsion designs to pursue. And if scientists ever do develop new forms of weak propulsion, the hyper-sensitive thrust balances developed by Tajmar and the Dresden team will almost certainly play a role in sorting science fact from science fiction.

Amazon shows off new delivery drone that flies like a helicopter and a plane.

by ALAIN SHERTER

• Amazon's new electric delivery drone is designed to ferry light packages to customers' homes in less than 30 minutes.
• The ecommerce company says the unmanned aircraft uses AI and other advanced tech to safely fly and avoid obstacles.
• The FAA has certified both Amazon and a service being developed by Google-parent Alphabet to introduce commercial drone deliveries in 2019.
• Amazon also touts "Prime Air" as good for the air itself. Its drones are electric, which the company said will help reduce the carbon emissions that come with delivering packages by truck or car.

What can hover like a helicopter, fly like a plane and deliver household goods practically right to your door in under an hour? No, it's not Superman side-hustling for a few extra bucks — try Amazon's latest AI-powered drone, which the ecommerce company unveiled on Wednesday at its conference in Las Vegas.

As YouTube footage of the machine shows below, the Amazon unmanned aircraft does vertical takeoffs and landings, like a chopper, before shifting into airplane mode. The drone uses sensors, stereo optics and other software to avoid crashing into chimneys, power lines or other urban obstacles. It can also detect moving objects in the air, Jeff Wilke, CEO of Amazon Worldwide Consumer, said on the company's blog, which will come as a relief to paragliders.

"A customer's yard may have clotheslines, telephone wires or electrical wires. Wire detection is one of the hardest challenges for low-altitude flights," he wrote. "Through the use of computer-vision techniques we've invented, our drones can recognize and avoid wires as they descend into, and ascend out of, a customer's yard."

The demonstration is part of an Amazon project, dubbed Prime Air, that aims to enable drone delivery of small packages in less than 30 minutes. Wilke said the company expects the service to be up and flying "within months."

While that timeline sounds ambitious, the Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday certified Prime Air to operate drones for deliveries, according to Yahoo! Finance. The agency in April gave Google's drone service the green light to start making commercial deliveries this year.

Amazon also touts Prime Air as good for the air itself. Its drones are electric, which the company said will help reduce the global-warming carbon emissions that come with delivering packages by truck or car, as well as cut back on short consumer trips to the store.

"With a service like Prime Air, we'll be able to order from home and stay home. This saves tremendously on fuel usage and reduces emissions," Wilke said.

Amazon, which has been criticized for not doing more to fight climate change, earlier this year announced plans to make half of all its shipments carbon-neutral by 2030. Along with using drones, it plans to reach that goal by using more solar power and shifting to electric delivery vehicles, among other measures.

Meet the Top Gun Pilot Who Chased a UFO in an F/A-18F Super Hornet

By Billie Brownstein Nauer 

WINDHAM, New Hampshire — In 2004, Commander David Fravor, an aviator in the U.S. Navy, saw something in the skies he'd never seen before. He wasn't sure what it was, but he decided to follow it in his F/A-18 Super Hornet, and he became convinced that the object's maneuvering could not be explained by the existing capabilities of modern aircraft.

“It was far beyond the technology that we have,” he told VICE News.

For a long time, Fravor, a skeptic of the notion of extraterrestrial visitors, said nothing. But in 2017, he and his co-pilot went public with their stories in the New York Times. The response was immediate: The UFO community saw their accounts as proof of extraterrestrial life, and Fravor became a sort of messiah.

The newfound notoriety made Fravor deeply uncomfortable.

“I’m not that kind of person," he said. “I underestimated the power of a New York Times article. I’ll never do that again.” 

He also vowed to stay out of the spotlight. But last month, Fravor reluctantly agreed to be a featured speaker at the McMenamins UFO Fest, in McMinnville, Oregon, the world's premier extraterrestrial expo.

VICE News was there for Fravor's first public appearance since the article in the Times — and, he swears, his last.

‘Stortbui’ op weerradar blijkt gigantische zwerm lieveheersbeestjes te zijn - HLN.be

Bron: Los Angeles Times

Volgens weerman Joe Dandrea hadden de lieveheersbeestjes zich verspreid over een gebied van 130 km op 130 km - op een hoogte tussen 1,5 en 2,7 kilometer - maar was de grootste concentratie kevertjes zo’n 16 km breed.

Toen Dandrea het bizarre fenomeen op de radar spotte, belde hij een waarnemer in de bergen van San Bernardino ten noordoosten van Los Angeles om te vragen wat ze nu precies aan het waarnemen waren. Hij zei dat hij “kleine stipjes voorbij zag vliegen”, aldus Dandrea.

The Times suggereert dat het om de ‘hippodamia convergens’ ging, een van de 200 soorten die in Californië voorkomen. Deze lieveheersbeestjes paren in de lente en zoeken dan grotere hoogtes op om te migreren van de Sierra Nevada naar valleien, waar ze zich tegoed doen aan bladluizen en waar ze hun eieren leggen.

FBI releases Bigfoot files of brief probe into mythical creature

The FBI on Wednesday published the findings of their short-lived 1970s investigation into the existence of Bigfoot — the elusive mythical creature that’s rumored to have stalked the North American wilderness for decades.

The anticlimactic results of its 1976-1977 probe, however, determined the hair samples it examined were not from Bigfoot — but from “a member of the deer family.”

The feds released the 22-page investigation from the FBI Records Vault, which publishes department files requested through the Freedom of Information Act.

The probe kicked off at the behest of Peter Bryne, who at the time was the director of the now-shuttered Bigfoot Information Center and Exhibition in Oregon.

The center obtained a hair sample attached to a piece of skin — which it couldn’t identify and believed belonged to the furry Bigfoot.

Byrne in 1976 mailed the sample to the FBI, asking it to test it.

“We do not often come across hair which we are unable to identify and the hair that we have now, about 15 hairs attached to a tiny piece of skin, is the first that we have obtained in six years which we feel may be of importance,” Byrne wrote.

The FBI told the group its labs are typically used for research related to criminal investigations but consented to test the hair sample “in the interest of research and scientific inquiry.”

The feds closed out their Bigfoot investigation in 1977 once they traced the hairs to the “deer family” — but since then that hasn’t stopped the Bigfoot believers and their speculative sightings.

Aliens being "Made, Hatched, Cloned, and Manufactured" The TRUTH Will SCARE You!

{ https://beforeitsnews.com/v3/ }

Frances Swan was a woman from Eliot, Maine, USA who claimed, in May 1954, startling contact with extraterrestrial beings via automatic-writing. As for what automatic-writing actually is, there’s this from the Psychic Elements blog: “Automatic writing, also known as Spirit writing, is a psychic gift and may be the one of the easiest psychic abilities to develop. Successful automatic writing is a powerful experience. Automatic writing is a way to channel information (including predictions and prophecy) and spirit energy through writing. It is the ability to allow intuition from outside you to flow through you. Automatic writing is a form of intuition that has been around for thousands of years. But it wasn’t until the late 1800’s and early 1900’s that it became better known through the worldwide spread of the Spiritualism movement.”

UFO researcher Grant Cameron says: “Mrs. Swan began receiving messages in April 1954 from a group of aliens who claimed they were orbiting the earth in two large satellites. The two main aliens in the group were AFFA who commanded ship M-4, and PONNAR who commanded ship L-11. These aliens told Mrs. Swan that they had a base on the moon, and that they were here to warn against many earthly pursuits such as the development of atomic weapons. These messages continued for decades, and drew the interest of the FBI, Navy Intelligence, and the CIA.”

It transpires that Swan’s activities had been indirectly brought to the attention of the FBI by retired Rear Admiral Herbert Bain Knowles. He just happened to be Swan’s next-door neighbor. And who lived down the street from Swan and Knowles? None other than famous alien abductees Betty and Barney Hill! Coincidentally or not, Knowles later became a board director with NICAP, the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, which was formed in 1956. Knowles helped Swan to pen a letter sent to Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith, which he, Knowles, personally endorsed. It was a letter that outlined Swan’s claims. From there, the letter was forwarded to the Secretary of Defense, whose office then circulated it to the FBI, Navy, Army, Air Force and, finally, the CIA. For those who may not know, under the leadership of Major Donald H. Keyhoe, Marine Corps (Ret.), NICAP was practically obsessed with the “interplanetary” theory for the UFO phenomenon.

FBI records on Swan exist and provide the following (along with much more of a different nature, which I’ll relate in a later article): “…Mrs. Swan stated that there were two spaceships from which she had been receiving messages. They were described as 150 miles wide, 200 miles in length, and 100 miles in depth…these ships are designated as M-4 and L-11 and they also contain mother ships which measure approximately 150 to 200 feet in length…there were approximately 5,000 of these mother ships…’Affa’ is the Manager of the Commander of the ship M-4 which is from the planet Uranus and ‘Ponnar’ is the Manager or the Commander of the ship L-11 which is from the planet Hatann…”

The FBI continued: “These contacts with ‘Affa’ and ‘Ponnar’ were for the purpose of protecting our own earth from destruction caused by the explosion of the atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb, and wars of various kinds which they, ‘Affa’ and ‘Ponnar,’ say disrupt the magnetic field of force which surrounds the earth…’Affa’ and ‘Ponnar’ are presently working the area of the Pacific Ocean repairing ‘fault lines’ which are in danger of breaking.”

As is almost always the case with messages received via automatic writing, they did not live up to their initial promise. The mysterious Affa had assured Swan that he would appear in person for officials from the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), or would make contact by other means, on a particular date in the summer of 1954. He did not. Nor did Affa’s prediction to Swan come true that: “…this earth is really going to end as stated in the Holy Bible around 1956.” All attempts by ONI personnel to contact Affa via telepathy, in the company of Swan, also failed.

According to a classified report prepared by Project Blue Book’s Major Robert Friend, a secret meeting was held on July 9, 1959 at a CIA office in Washington under the direction of Arthur Lundahl – of the CIA’s National Photographic Interpretation Center. Present at the meeting was a representative of the Office of Naval Intelligence, and seven CIA officers. Three days prior to the July 9 meeting, a Naval Intelligence officer, one Commander Larsen, discussed with Lundahl the failed Frances Swan/Naval Intelligence contact experiment of the summer of 1954. Larsen was encouraged to repeat the experiment, which involved him “going into a trance,” Friend later told writer and filmmaker Robert Emenegger. This time it was said to have been successful: a flying saucer suddenly appeared on the scene.

Documentation on this later incident referred to the sighting of an aerial craft described as being “round with the perimeter brighter than the center.” But when checks were made with radar operatives in Washington, “for some unknown reason radar return from the direction in which the ship was supposedly seen had blocked out at the time of the sighting.”

The report also noted that, “The Navy indicates that through these contacts Mrs. Swan has been able to answer technical questions beyond the level of her education or background.” While the Navy clearly did not rule out all that had gone down, I should stress that, in relation to Frances Swan’s claims, the Navy could certainly have put things in a far less condescending and insulting fashion when it came to the matter of  her “level of her education or background.”

Despite decades of fruitless searching, Bigfoot continues to capture our imagination. Sightings of the legendary creature remain rampant throughout North America and the mythical hairy biped is all over our popular culture these days, popping up in everything from beef jerky advertisements to pornography and even political campaigns. Sometimes at the same time. Yuck.

Bigfoot may have seen a massive resurgence in popularity in recent years, but study of the ape-man remains mostlyrelegated to the cesspool of cable TV or the fringes of amateur research. While some legitimate scientific have been conducted on various artifacts, footage, and photographs over the years, serious study of Bigfoot remains somewhat taboo in most scientific communities. UFO researchers and ghost hunters can relate.

It turns out, though, that some of America’s acronym-bearing intelligence and law enforcement agencies have taken a look into alleged sightings of Bigfoot or his international relatives over the years. The latest revelation concerning The Man’s interest in the paranormal come by way of the FBI. New FOIA documents obtained by John Greenwald Jr. at The Black Vaultshow that the FBI once took the legendary skunk ape seriously enough to examine a clump of 15 unidentified hairs claimed to be from the large-footed one itself. Could the FBI possess evidence of the existence of the legendary creature?

Trick question: we all know the really good stuff never leaves a paper trail and ends up in that warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Still, these documents add to the growing body of evidence that shows the Feds have taken more of an interest in the anomalous over the years than they may let on. These latest documents are far from a smoking gun (steaming footprint?), but at least show that the FBI took the alleged Bigfoot hair seriously enough to analyze it in their own labs.

The documents consist mainly of correspondence that took place in 1976 between Peter Byrne, former director of the now-defunct Bigfoot Information Center and Exhibition in Oregon, and FBI Assistant Director Jay Cochran Jr. Byrne sent the samples to the FBI, writing that “we do not often come across hair which we are unable to identify and the hair that we have now, about 15 hairs attached to a tiny piece of skin, is the first that we have obtained in six years which we feel may be of importance.” Cochran took Byrne’s request in stride, replying that while the Bureau typically doesn’t assist in these types of studies, it would let it slide this one time:

The FBI Laboratory conducts examinations primarily of physical evidence for law enforcement agencies in connection with criminal investigations. Occasionally, on a case-by-case basis, in the interest of research and scientific inquiry, we make exceptions to this general policy. With this understanding, we will examine the hairs and tissue mentioned in your letter.

Another memo in the documents notes that “this does not represent a change in Bureau policy” but that the FBI’s labs sometimes assist with these types of requests “in the interest of research and legitimate scientific inquiry.” The hairs were eventually sent to the Academy of Applied Science in Boston, after which it was determined that “the hairs are of deer family origin” based on their microscopic structure and comparisons with known deer samples.

I just have to wonder, though: let’s say that someone found actual evidence of Bigfoot and sent it to the FBI for analysis; would the Bureau ever really reveal the existence of the legendary creature? Think how many gun-wielding would-be Bigfoot-slayers would descend upon whatever heavily forested area that evidence was found in, ready to make history with guns loaded and adrenaline running high. Accidental shootings would be in the dozens. It’s happened before.

Stay frosty, Bigfoot.

Faces, Mech Warriors, Towers Found On Comet 67P, The Singing Comet, Come Here The Message, June 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: July 1, 2016
Location of discovery: Comet 67P, singing comet
Source ESA photo: 

• http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2016/06/Close-up_view_of_the_comet
  
  

This is a photo from the European Space Administration (ESA) of comet 67P, notoriously known as the singing comet, which is shaped like the head, neck and chest of an alien (click here). Don't get me wrong, skull shaped comets have been seen before (click here) by the ESA, but the detail is lacking compared to 67P.  I love this comet, because for 20+ years it been sending a singing message (bottom of post). An alien message asking other life forms to come meet them. This is why when ESA scientists first heard it 20 years ago, they built the Rosetta satellite to answer its call. Apparently there was a message they decoded, but never shared it with the public. Just like they never shared the fact that the comet sings until just last year, 20 years after Rosetta was created was about to land on it. 

Now, I'm all for suspense and all, but why the hell does the ESA think they can keep the public in the dark about its singing message for so long? Because they didn't want the Chinese, Americans or Russians to get there first. None of them trusts each other enough with telling the other the truth about what they find on the comet. 

Thats where I come in. You got me, and thats a hell of a lot better than what you had a few minutes ago. I found a really large face of an alien species today, but its not like its the only one I ever found on the comet. Its probably closer to number 35. Not to mention the 80 meter metal skeleton I found (click here) or the UFO disk(click here) that was hovering above its surface. 

However, today I found several faces, one with a crown that has very Mayan features and another that looks human, but with enlarged features. Oh, and of course I found some mech four legged robot that looks like its a large gun on four legs. There is more in the photo, but I didn't think most people could make out its detail, since a lot will have trouble seeing these more prominent finds. 

This makes me come to wonder why is this comet singing and why are there 80 meter skeletal remains, flying disks, towers, buildings (click here) or (here), mech guns and many faces scattered across the comet? Was this message meant for Earth, or was it a generic message meant for any species evolved enough to answer it? Which would mean it has flown past many other worlds with life on it. Testing each one with its signal to see if they have reached that point in technological evolution that would make their either a threat, or worth meeting.

The signal never the less, continues 24/7 to this day. It may have been sending its message for thousands or millions of years and since aliens will have advanced technology, the aliens that created this comet, single and base would probably still be living and breathing today. Remember technology will allow you to live almost forever (minus accidents).

So, for each piece of evidence we find, hundreds of questions pop into our heads. After a hundred discoveries on this comet, I find the universe and aliens more baffling than ever. The questions I have have not been answered, but have only escalated. Who are they? How may species of them exist out there? Where are they now? It goes on and on, but my own thoughts tell me time will tell, knowing the answers wont exist for hundreds of years. 

Like every discovery ever made about aliens...people will be amazed, confused, and slightly entertained, but one by one they will walk away, losing focus and soon forgetting what they saw here. Its probably a defense mechanism to help one cope with the unknown. But, it lets them sleep better. 

I can't, I wont, I never will forget any piece of evidence I have ever posted. I often wonder, how much evidence is enough for the world, and I realize, there is no amount of evidence that could come from the public that could sway the publics opinion about the existence of alien life. You see, the people of the world still trust, still depend, still need the government to inform them about the things that are so monumental as the discovery of an alien species, but, that is something the US gov wont do, because it would put China on alert and force China to make contacting aliens and gaining alien technology a number one priority. And the US needs to keep an advantage...watch the right hand of America, as the left had gains the advantage. Its easy for the gov to hide it, because only the government could be trusted to reveal it. We don't trust each other, but we have to if we are going to force disclose.

80 Meter Alien Skeleton On The Singing Comet P67, Video, UFO Sighting News.

I found this 80 meters skeleton on Comet P67 also called the singing comet. The original ESA photo has a measurement of 100 meters in its lower right hand corner. I used it to get the true size of the alien body. 

Now over 20 years ago scientists around the world heard the singing comet. Its song never ends, is always on and always transmitting in radio frequencies. Scientists built the Rosette probe to investigate this song...believing it to be an invitation to meet. What they really found when they got there...we may never know, but I will report to you what I find in the photos to help you decide. 

I believe the skeleton belonged to the alien race that created the singing comet millions of years ago. I believe it was a scientist who had the idea to make the comet and send it out into the solar system as a international greeting card of sorts. But he probably died before seeing it completed and asked that he be placed upon the comet to explore the universe with his creation. Its kind of poetic really.

Massive UFO Fleet Over Moscow, Russia, Indications Of Russian ET Meeting. May 18, 2019 Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: May 18, 2019

Location of sighting: Moscow, Russia

 

I think these UFOs passing across the moon have a connection with the Russian government. There is no way that Russia would allow anything to enter their airspace without some Migs intercepting them. The fact that we don't hear any jets is clear indication that these objects have flight clearance to pass over the capital city of Moscow. I have long believed that Russia and the USA have worked together to get an to hide alien technology in order to make Asia fall behind in technology. World power is dependent on having the most advanced technology at hand. This UFO fleet over Moscow tells me there is an important meeting taking place with higher ups in the Russian government and aliens.
