Amerika probeerde een atoombom tot ontploffing te brengen op de maan. Volgens deze kolonel greep ‘iemand’ in
In de jaren vijftig moest wijlen kolonel Ross Dedrickson waken over de veiligheid van Amerikaanse kernwapens.
Tussen 1950 en 1958 werkte hij voor de Amerikaanse atoomenergiecommissie. Hij was onder meer gestationeerd in Nevada, Hawaï en Albuquerque. In 1964 ging hij met pensioen.
In die periode kwamen er veel meldingen binnen van UFO’s die boven diverse nucleaire installaties werden gezien.
Bewust stilgehouden
“Deze UFO’s waren buitengewoon geïnteresseerd in ons wapentuig,” zei hij.
Dedrickson heeft naar eigen zeggen vaak UFO’s gezien en daarnaast was hij getuige van de onbekende objecten die in juli 1952 over het Capitool vlogen.
De kolonel zei verder dat meerdere nucleaire wapens de ruimte zijn ingebracht, die vervolgens door buitenaardsen zijn vernietigd. “Dit werd bewust stilgehouden.”
Geheim plan
“Eind jaren zeventig probeerden we een kernbom te laten exploderen op de maan,” zei Dedrickson. “De buitenaardsen hebben dit voorkomen.”
Het is inmiddels bekend dat de Amerikaanse luchtmacht in de jaren vijftig een geheim plan had ontwikkeld om op de maan een atoombom tot ontploffing te brengen.
Project A119
Dit plan heette Project A119. Men wilde onder meer de gevolgen voor het maanoppervlak bestuderen.
Officieel heeft de luchtmacht het project in januari 1959 stopgezet, maar volgens Dedrickson is het toch doorgezet.
Witnessing an unidentified craft is strange enough, but having different people separated by more than 9,000 miles seeing what looks like the same thing is even more bizarre. That’s exactly what happened when several people noticed a mysterious black craft hovering in the sky above the U.S. state of Georgia in addition to more sightings of what appears to be the same craft approximately 9,000 miles away in Australia.
Javion Hill, 35, posted several photographs on his Facebook page showing a mysterious object in the sky during a rainstorm near Charlotte
On November 18th, YouTuber MrMBB333 posted the footage to his channel and has already received over 30,000 views. In the video, a black circular object can be seen rocking back and forth in the cloudy sky over Manly, New South Wales, Australia. The YouTube video also shows pictures of what appears to be the exact same object that someone photographed in Johns Creek, Georgia.
MrMBB333 quoted one witness named John S. who saw the mysterious craft, “He said the wind started blowing in a circular motion out of nowhere and then he noticed the object and the wind stopped blowing.”
When the still photo from Georgia was compared side-by-side with the video footage from Australia, there’s no denying that they look very similar and the YouTuber is convinced that both crafts are identical. “See the similarities to the one in Australia? They look almost identical in color, shape and size,” MrMBB333 stated.
He went on to say, “It didn’t have any lights on it but it reminded me of several pictures from North Georgia,” and that it was “definitely not a plane” because it was “riding straight up”. Additionally, he mentioned that the craft looked like “an intelligently-designed structure.”
And it’s not just the YouTuber who believes that they are the same UFO. “It’s most likely the same craft,” one user wrote, adding, “Distance and time is no challenge for them. Another viewer commented, “Wow, thanks for the proof. We are not alone in the universe.”
Not everyone is convinced, however, as one user wrote, “It looks like it’s moving like a balloon,” while another person commented, “It’s a kids’ paddling pool.”
So, is there a reasonable explanation for the objects or are they identical UFOs that were captured by photographic and video evidence over 9,000 miles apart? You can take a look at the footage here and decide for yourself.
Do These Legendary Tombs Reveal the Presence of Giants in Sardinia?
Tasha Shayne
Perhaps few lands, ancient or modern, are as attractive as Italy — for its people, rolling landscapes, Mediterranean coast, and rich historical allure. We can add to this list an emerging archaeological phenomenon in Sardinia. On this island off the coast of Italy, lies an ancient site where skeletal remains of giants have been uncovered, defying academic conclusions about the land’s earliest inhabitants.
If you take a ferry, Sardinia is situated five hours west of mainland Italy and is home to a persistent theory that giants may have roamed the land. Travel guides suggest that much of the island’s prehistoric past has been preserved mainly because Sardinia features a relatively unpopulated countryside, and many areas where people once lived have long been abandoned. Human occupation is traceable steadily throughout the Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic, Calcolithic, Bronze, and Iron ages.
While early Sardinians left behind significant contributions of ancient pottery and megalithic statues crafted out of large, heavy, and enduring stone, perhaps the most startling finds are those said to be of Sardinian giants and include bone and teeth fragments. The site in question is in Coddu Vecchiu, in a place that locals and archaeologists alike refer to as Tomba dei Giganti — the tomb of the giants. It was constructed during the Bronze Age (3300-700 BC) by the Nuragic civilization as a public tomb, in an area where many were buried.
Located on a hillside peppered with vineyards, the giants’ tombs of Coddu Vecchiu are introduced through the doorway of a central stele (an upright stone slab or column serving as a gravestone), which was believed to serve as a barrier between the physical world and the afterlife. In the stone forecourt of the compound are eleven granite stones, arranged in a semicircle measuring about 40 feet across.
It has been hypothesized that the semicircular arrangement of the stones may have been an attempt to harness telluric currents of the granite for rejuvenating purposes. Author of Mysterious Places in Italy, Isabella Dalla Vecchia, wrote that telluric energy and magnetic forces flowing under the earth’s crust and is part of what makes planet earth a living organism. Dalla Vecchia wrote, “Man, a creature of Mother Earth, is able to interact with and become very sensitive to these movements. Men absorb them unconsciously in particular situations.” Additionally, she explained, a large stone slab with a small doorway is believed to connect the gravesite with the outside world. The opening symbolizes the union between this world and the afterworld. Offerings were deposited on a large bench at the base of the tomb.
Legends vs. Modern Science
According to legend, Sardinia was once home to a race of giants. Those who support this theory point to the massive size of some of the stones used on the burial grounds. On the other hand, archaeologists argue that only the tombs are giant, but those buried at the site were normal-sized humans. Perhaps equally mysterious aspects of the archaeological site are traces of rituals, the existence of powerful sources of natural energy, and how the megaliths are related to the heavens. Many tombs of giants are oriented toward the Taurus’ constellation and point to the brightest star, Aldebaran. And on the days of the equinoxes, the light of the rising sun enters directly into the tomb corridor through a small opening on the stele.
The Story Unfolds in The New Season of Open Minds
Researchers for Ancient Origins noted that the giants’ graves “may provide us with more questions than answers. While they give an interesting insight into the burial rituals of ancient civilizations, they do not provide much information beyond the physical structure of the tombs and the fact that they were used for burial purposes. With religious and spiritual beliefs far different during ancient times than today, it’s likely ancient burial rituals were very different from what we currently know today. There was likely much focus on safely making it to the afterlife, and ensuring a smooth transition from a physical presence on Earth, to a spiritual presence beyond Earth, and possibly a reincarnation into a new life.” However, Gaia’s preeminent documentary host, Regina Meredith, may have more to offer on this subject.
As part of Evidence of Giants in Sardinia, authors Paola Harris (“UFOs: All The Above…and Beyond”) and Freddy Silva (“The Missing Lands”) look into legendary stories passed along through generations. The show notes, “All across the island we find thousands of stone structures, constructed hundreds of thousands of years ago, by a civilization lost to history…” In the video exposé, Meredith and her team explore ancient ruins that seem obviously too large for average-size human beings, while examining bone remnants of gigantic proportions. Additionally, they explore the forbidden history of the lost giants of Atlantis who may have settled in Sardinia after the great deluge.
Meredith’s interview with lifelong Sardinian resident Luigi Mucas, author of The Giants of Sardinia, has revealed that the people of the island have known about the presence of giants for generations. It is nearly impossible not to be aware of this history simply because bones have been found all over the island by locals going about their lives. As a little boy, Mucas said at family gatherings, there were stories of how his “ancestors came from a line of giants.” Mucas believes, based on the testimonies of generations of family members, that his people came from Atlantis and his people are the remnants of that civilization.
With strong reticence by modern archaeologists to entertain the existence of giants as part of human history on earth, the Tombs of the Giants sites in Sardinia will continue to be a mystery that challenges the mainstream narrative. However, as Paola Harris explains, if you talk to the townspeople who act as firsthand witnesses, regardless of the official story coming from archaeology, “you’ll get the real truth.” And this truth, supported by evidence of bone fragments scattered all over Sardinia, discovered by modern-day inhabitants, is that a race of giants had once roamed this island in the Mediterranean.
Onthullen deze legendarische tombes dat er reuzen hebben geleefd op Sardinië?
Volgens legendes leefden er ooit reuzen op Sardinië. Ze zouden er reusachtige graftombes hebben achtergelaten en de nuraghi – forten met torens – hebben gebouwd.
Op het eiland kunnen tot wel 20.000 van deze nuraghi worden gevonden.
Eén daarvan werd gevonden in Barumini. Het kostte archeologen 14 jaar om het bouwwerk onder een 12 meter dikke laag modder vandaan te halen.
2,5 meter
Op 30 oktober 1953 werden op Sardinië meer dan 2,5 meter lange skeletten opgegraven.
Reuters meldde dat archeologen bij Porto Torres reuzenskeletten van twee krijgers hadden ontdekt die zo’n 4000 jaar geleden waren gestorven.
De twee skeletten, beide intact en omringd met wapens en vazen, waren meer dan 2,5 meter lang, aldus het persbureau.
Reuzen van Mont’e Prama
Dan is er nog het mysterie rond de zogeheten Reuzen van Mont’e Prama, oude stenen sculpturen gemaakt door de Nuraghische beschaving.
Opvallend is dat de beelden, die in maart 1974 bij toeval werden ontdekt nabij Mont’e Prama in het westen van Sardinië, ongeveer 2,5 meter lang zijn.
De beelden, gemaakt van zandsteen, worden bewaard in het nationaal historisch museum van Cagliari.
I was looking over Helioviewer and noticed that the black triangle that I reported two months ago is back. This time it has reversed its orbit of the sun. The object was moving from left to right of the screen, but now its moving from right to left! That should be impossible. Its skimming the surface of the sun, actually touching the sun. Its about the size of earths moon. The shape is a black triangle. I am very surprised that NASA has never mentioned this huge object on earths southern region. This is 100% proof that aliens exist and NASA isn't doing its job. Watch the video to see this object as it moves. Scott C. Waring

Sky-watcher BruceSeesAll shows us a real close up view of what he believes is a city sized area of constructed objects located in the Southern Highlands of the moon.
Among the constructed objects; a rectangular building, a huge tower, oval walls and a hexagon structure.
Besides the lunar base he also shows another UFO sighting under the thick atmosphere and gases on the lunar surface. UFOs landing on the moon seem to be descending under what BruceSeesAll calls an unknown veil...that lies over the surface the moon.
"It takes away the excitement from our real discoveries."
An Ohio scientist claims to have found photographic proof of "insect and reptile-like"life on Mars. But, as always, it's not aliens, other researchers say.
William Romoser, a professor emeritus who specializes in arbovirology (the study of viruses transmitted by arthropods) and entomology at Ohio University, has compiled photographs from NASA Mars rovers that he says are evidence of life on Mars. "There has been and still is life on Mars," Romosersaid in a statement.
But Romoser's evidence for this alleged Martian life comes only from his interpretation of these photographs. As he asserts in the findings he presented on Nov. 19 at the national meeting of the Entomological Society of America, the images show the shapes of life-forms that look similar to reptiles and bee-like insects. According to the statement, these observations are of both fossilized and living creatures on the surface of Mars.

"There is apparent diversity among the Martian insect-like fauna which display many features similar to Terran insects that are interpreted as advanced groups — for example, the presence of wings, wing flexion, agile gliding/flight, and variously structured leg elements," Romoser said about the supposed life-forms.

Seeing things on Mars
Now, if you really squint at these images and have already read that someone else thinks that they look like insects and reptiles, you might think they look like insects and reptiles, too. But, according to David Maddison, a professor in the integrative biology department at Oregon State University, this "proof" is likely just an example of pareidolia, a phenomenon in which people see patterns in random data.
"I, personally, have pareidolia with respect to insects, beetles in particular," Maddison told Space.com in an email. "I've worked on beetles for decades; I have collected many thousands of beetles around the world. Through the years I have built into my brain a pattern-recognition system for picking out beetles."

He suggests that this is a life-form on Mars, but expert scientists agree that this is not the discovery of alien life. (The "eastern king snake," by the way, is clearly a pitviper, probably a rattlesnake.) (Image credit: William Romoser)
"However," Maddison added, "there is a rate of false positives — my 'seeing' beetles where there are none, which I realize when I investigate further. The false positives are usually fairly low toward the end of a field trip, as I retrain my brain, but in some circumstances — i.e., a lack of beetles in the environment — that rate of false positives is higher, as my eyes don't naturally get drawn to the real beetles, instead latching on to whatever beetle-like blob is out in the landscape.
"I do not think there are insects on Mars. The photographs that are in that press release you sent are entirely unconvincing, as they fall within the range expected in zillions of non-insect objects photographed in lowish resolution on a Marscape," Maddison said. "It is vastly more parsimonious to presume the blobs are simply rocks. As has been said, 'extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence'; those pictures are far, far less than extraordinary."
And simply pointing out suggestive shapes in NASA photos may not be the best way to draw conclusions in the search for life beyond Earth.
"I think it's really easy to find patterns in images, especially when they're out of context," Nina Lanza, a planetary scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, told Space.com. "They're little clips of larger images and there's no scale bar on them ... you could imagine a lot of different shapes in there. That's not a good way to do this kind of assessment."
Space.com reached out to Ohio University for comment on Romoser's study, but did not receive a response as of press time.
Researchers continue to extensively study the Martian landscape, soil, history and atmosphere. And, while scientists actively search for signs of life, compiling data that might one day serve as evidence for past or present life on Mars or beyond, there exists no concrete proof of any life-forms on Mars (or elsewhere beyond Earth).
"That's just the way it is. We haven't yet been able to make that statement, but we are looking," Lanza said. "We are just as excited, we want to do this too! We are going to tell you as soon as we find life."
Regarding Romoser's work and assertion that there is proof of life on Mars, NASA officials responded to Space.com with the following statement:
"The collective general opinion of the large majority of the scientific community is that current conditions on the surface of Mars are not suitable for liquid water or complex life. As part of its astrobiology objectives, one of NASA's key goals is the search for life in the universe and the Mars 2020 rover, launching next summer, is our next stage in exploring the potential of past life on the Red Planet.
"Although we have yet to find signs of extraterrestrial life, NASA is exploring the solar system and beyond to help us answer fundamental questions, including whether we are alone in the universe. From studying water on Mars, probing promising "oceans worlds," such as Enceladus, Europa, and Titan to looking for biosignatures in the atmospheres of planets outside our solar system, NASA's science missions are working together with a goal to find unmistakable signs of life beyond Earth."
The harm that dubious claims can cause
To scientists like Lanza and Maddison, the fact that this claim is not truly "proof" of life on Mars is obvious. But to the untrained eye, to the person who might only have time to skim the headline on his or her commute home, overblown claims like this can be damaging.
"When we have this kind of sensationalist headline, it's really hard for the public to know whether or not this is true," Lanza said. "It seems legitimate, it's coming from Ohio University, these are real institutions and so … when we actually find something on Mars and beyond, if we do that, it will be less of an impact … people keep hearing 'we've already found life on Mars.'"
"It takes away the excitement from our real discoveries," she added.
Space is both the final frontier and the ultimate mystery. Although from here on Earth, and from our limited ventures off-planet, we have gleaned a large amount of data about the happenings of space even well beyond our solar system, there is much that remains enigmatic and unanswered.
The cosmos still keep a few secrets from us, and every once in awhile, something unusual does turn up which causes us to have to rethink our old conceptions of celestial mechanics. Among the many eccentricities of the night sky observed by astronomers over the centuries have been strange, often hazy illuminations that appear in places where they shouldn’t. Sometimes resembling stars or comets, these objects are set apart from most conventional astronomical observations on account of their peculiar motion and other atypical behaviors.
There is a long history of such observations, despite a modest number of accounts that might be considered genuinely anomalous. As far back as 1612, German astronomer Christopher Scheiner had made numerous observations of Jupiter and its moons. In the sketches of his observations, there is an object in addition to the known moons of Jupiter as recognized today; this object, while included in Scheiner’s drawings, seems to have vanished over the course of the astronomer’s ongoing observations.
According to Scheiner, the object had first appeared bright and star-like, just like the other Jovian satellites, but between March 30 and the first weeks of April, the object began to darken, and eventually faded from view. The object is absent in Scheiner’s later drawings, seemingly indicating that the mysterious Jovian “moon” had vanished.
A similar phenomenon was logged in the first years of the nineteenth century by astronomer Hofrath Huth, who in 1802 described seeing a round star that produced “faint reddish light” in the area of theta and delta Leonis. The object was not stationary either, and although Huth deemed it a “moving star,” its path indicated a retrograde motion as opposed to that of other stars and celestial objects. The object was observed between the first six days of January, the outset of which saw the “star” as slightly smaller than the moons of Jupiter. However, by January 6th the strange backward-moving object had vanished and was not seen again, apart from a single observation the following year by Russian astronomer Cornelius Reissig.
A similar observation of an unusual, nebulous object occurred more than three decades later in May 1835, when Italian astronomer Niccolò Cacciatore observed an unidentified eighth-magnitude star from his observation station in Palermo. He had been observing star 503 of Mayer’s catalog with a Ramsden circle (an early astronomical instrument designed by mathematician Jesse Ramsden to measure the positions of astronomical objects). The first night of observation, the new star had appeared behind star 503, but the following evening it appeared to precede it. After this, the mysterious “star” was never detected again.
The majority of sightings of such objects in the scientific record occurred during or prior to the nineteenth century, after which most similar objects were classified as either likely comets or in a few cases unusual classes of asteroids, such as the Reinmuth object, first observed in April 1932. There have been a few notable instances where star-like objects were seen moving through space more recently; a notable circumstance of this sort involved astronomer Frank Clark who, in September 1956, noticed a star-like object passing near the planet Mars. He was briefly able to track the object, which had a yellowish color. This sighting is noteworthy because it occurred a little more than one year before the USSR launched the first artificial satellite into orbit on October 4, 1957, seemingly ruling out any space objects of manmade origin.
Fleeting though such observations are, their presence in the night skies remains mysterious. “Moving stars” such as these serve as reminders that occasionally there are unusual things seen by astronomers, which, innocuous though they are, defy simple classification or explanation.
Romoser claims that the pictures show evidence of insect-like forms on the Red Planet. “There has been and still is life on Mars,” he stated, adding that the photographs show evidence of living creatures as well as fossilized ones. In fact, he went a step further in claiming that one of the insects appears to be looking directly at the camera.
And apparently they look quite similar to insects found right here on Earth. “There is apparent diversity among the Martian insect-like fauna which display many features similar to Terran insects that are interpreted as advanced groups – for example, the presence of wings, wing flexion, agile gliding/flight, and variously structured leg elements,” he explained.
Did NASA capture photo evidence of life on Mars?
He studied the photographs – most of them were taken by the Curiosity Rover – on the database from the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Romoser said that he studied the “dramatic departure from the surroundings, clarity of form, body symmetry, segmentation of body parts, repeating form, skeletal remains, and observation of forms in close proximity to one another.”
He even claimed that the posture, flight, motion, position, and shiny eyes strongly suggested that they were living forms. “Once a clear image of a given form was identified and described, it was useful in facilitating recognition of other less clear, but none-the-less valid, images of the same basic form,” he noted.
He said that Earth insects are identified by having “three body regions, a single pair of antennae, and six legs,” therefore, “On these bases, arthropodan, insect-like forms can be seen in the Mars rover photos.” He added that the Mars images look similar to bumble bees or carpenter bees that live on Earth, and some of the photographs even show the insects in their nests.
Romoser claims that several of the fossilized insects look similar to Earth bees.
In addition to insects, Romoser said that other photos appear to show a fossilized snake-like creature with two front nostrils and beady eyes, as well as an insect in its mouth. You can see here several of the photographs that Romoser analyzed.
A specimen whose head appears to have turned in the direction of the camera, according to William S. Romoser, Ph.D, who has 45 years of experience studying insects and has spent years analysing NASA photographs . Based on the scale provided in the photo from which this was extracted, this individual is estimated to be approximately 20 inches long
In a study put together by Romoser, he discussed 'a putative reptile-like fossil compared to a Terran snake'. The fossil shows the snakes beady eyes, two front nostrils and even an insect in its mouth
Dr. Emeritus William Romoser has spent years studying NASA photographs of the Martian world and claims there are numerous examples of insect-like forms. He claims the images highlight exoskeletons and jointed appendages of these 'living creatures', which are enough evidence to identify these organism as insect-like
He used the database from NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of raw images and compiled panoramic mosaics, which had been gathered over many years from different missions to the Red Planet
NASA is getting ready to send a rover to Mars in search of life, but a professor from Ohio University believes we have already have evidence of beings crawling on the red planet
Other images, Romoser claimed, showed 'bees' in their nests and others highlighted fossilized creatures that resembles a snake
As for life on Mars, Romoser said that the evidence is compelling. “The presence of higher metazoan organisms on Mars implies the presence of nutrient/energy sources and processes, food chains and webs, and water as elements functioning in a viable, if extreme, ecological setting sufficient to sustain life,” he noted, adding, “Water on Mars has been reported a number of times, including surface water detected by instrumentation on Viking, Pathfinder, Phoenix, and Curiosity.”
Perhaps NASA will find even more evidence of potential life on Mars when they send a rover back to the Red Planet next year. The mission will be focused on finding evidence of past microbial life on Mars as the rover will collect rock core samples that will be sent back to Earth for analysis. Maybe they’ll bring back one of the alien-insects that Romoser claims they have already captured photo evidence of.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT NASA'S MARS 2020 ROVER?
Nasa's Mars 2020 rover will search for signs of ancient life on Mars in a bid to help scientists better understand how life evolved on our own planet.
The machine will explore an ancient river delta within the Jezero Crater, which was once filled with a 1,600-foot (500-meter) deep lake.
It is believed that the region hosted microbial life some 3.5 to 3.9 billion years ago.
Nasa's Mars 2020 rover (artist's impression) will search for signs of ancient life on Mars in a bid to help scientists better understand how life evolved on our own planet
The $2.5 billion (£1.95 billion) Mars 2020 is planned to launch in July 2020, and land in February 2021.
Mars 2020 is designed to land inside the crater and collect samples that will eventually be returned to Earth for further analysis.
Nasa says a second mission will need to fly to the planet and return the samples, perhaps by the later 2020s.

How do extraterrestrials like their coffee? Espresso? Macchito? Con Panna? Quad? With Legs? Double double? If you guessed the last one (a large coffee with two creamer packets and two sugar packets mixed in), you may be closest to the answer. Researchers analyzing two different meteorites have discovered alien sugar on both. Does this mean coffee with cream and sugar came from another planet? You’re not thinking grande enough.
“The extraterrestrial sugar might have contributed to the formation of RNA on the prebiotic Earth which possibly led to the origin of life.”
In a NASA press release, Yoshihiro Furukawa, an associate professor of Earth astrochemistry at Japan’s Tohoku University, explains what he and a team of NASA researchers found when analyzing powdered samples of two different meteorites – NWA 801, found in Morocco, and Murchison, discovered near Murchison, Victoria, Australia. Both are carbon-rich meteorites, but the carbon-based molecules they found using gas chromatography mass spectrometry were still surprising – ribose, arabinose, xylose and other sugars in concentrations ranging from 2.3 to 11 parts per billion in NWA 801 and from 6.7 to 180 parts per billion in Murchison.
Ribose is the most significant of the sugars discovered on the meteorites. Why? Think back to high school biology class where you learned about DNA. The messenger molecule which copies genetic instructions from the DNA molecule and pass them on to the macromolecular machines in every living cell that synthesize proteins is RNA — ribonucleic acid. RNA’s “ribo” is the same as the one in ‘ribose’ and ‘ribosomes’ – the macromolecular protein-creating machines which are the food of life. Is this big news, Yoshihiro?
“Other important building blocks of life have been found in meteorites previously, including amino acids (components of proteins) and nucleobases (components of DNA and RNA), but sugars have been a missing piece among the major building blocks of life. The research provides the first direct evidence of ribose in space and the delivery of the sugar to Earth. The extraterrestrial sugar might have contributed to the formation of RNA on the prebiotic Earth which possibly led to the origin of life.”
So, the ribose isn’t a life form but instead the missing ingredient in the soup churning on Earth that sparks its creation via RNA, which then starts replicating, eventually forming DNA and … well, you can figure out the rest of the plot of this movie. The researchers know what you’re thinking and, yes, they checked to determine if the ribose was actually from Earth and had accidentally contaminated the meteorites. An isotope analysis showed that this ribose was enriched with a heavy version of carbon (13C) at levels far beyond those seen on Earth.
“It is remarkable that a molecule as fragile as ribose could be detected in such ancient material. These results will help guide our analyses of pristine samples from primitive asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, to be returned by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Hayabusa2 and NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft.”
Sugar on an asteroid. Who would have thought life on Earth could have begun that way?
Sugar on an asteroid. It’s also a great title for a song and a cool name for a donut.

Why do some individuals feel more connected to ‘non-human intelligences than their human family? If so, what does this mean for our species? The late Command Sergeant Robert Dean mentioned his time with NHI’s was shown by them ”Humanity is a work in progress, an unfinished masterpiece.” Are we indeed an evolving species being assisted to discover who we really are? If so, what does this mean for humanity?
Crew Members Reveal of Seeing Flying Elongated Egg
Symbolic image
New details have been out about the mysterious episode of a crazy encounter with UFOs in 2004. Crew members who were on board a Navy warship during the encounter have come forward, offering new captivating first-hand accounts.
In November 2004, technicians on a training mission with the Nimitz carrier group about a hundred miles off the coast of Southern California started to notice unusual ghost tracks and clutter on the radars of the ship.
Concerned on the brand new AN/SPY-1B radar system on the Princeton was acting up, the crew recalibrated the advanced device to clear the errors, but the seemingly “false” radar tracks only became stronger, the first sign something rather unusual was taking place.
Princeton radar technician Gary Voorhis said that the tracks were sharper and clearer after they finished all the recalibration and brought their radar system back up. Voorhis said that the UFOs were sometimes at an altitude of 80,000 or 60,000 feet, and other times they were around 30,000 feet going around 100 knots.
Senior Chief Operations Specialist Kevin Day, who was tasked with airspace monitoring around the Princeton, also observed strange radar artifacts from the Combat Information Center of the ship. These bizarre artifacts continued for several days, according to Mr Day.
Voorhis became convinced it was not a radar error as the crew kept tabs on the bizarre signals. He finally caught a glimpse of the UFOs using the ship’s technology to pinpoint the signal and then peering through heavily-magnified binoculars. He is sure he saw something zipping around in the distance.
Day persuaded his superiors to allow an intercept attempt after nearly a week of hide-and-seek with the strange objects. Two F/A-18s were dispatched to investigate. The fighter pilots said they made a visual contact from about a mile away and noticed an elongated egg-liked object that was solid white, smooth, and no edges. However, the objects proved too elusive for the fighter jets, forcing them to withdraw the effort.
A second attempt would make the now-infamous infrared footage, leaked to the public in 2017. It features a pill-shaped object flying in the sky and audio of confused fighter pilots, struggling to identify the craft. The Pentagon only confirmed its authenticity in September 2019 and maintained it was never cleared for release to the general public.
Voorhis said that two men arrived on the Princeton soon after the F/A-18 intercept and asked for data recordings captured during the run-in, which he was ordered to turn over immediately. He revealed that other ship’s recording devices had also been wiped clean.
Another sailor aboard the Princeton, who chose to be unnamed, said that a Blackhawk helicopter landed on their ship and took all their information from the secret rooms. He noted that it was an unspoken rule not to talk about it due to their secret clearances and did not want to jeopardize their careers.
The Destruction of Sodom and GomorrahThe Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
‘Fire and Brimstone’ that Destroyed Biblical Sodom Matches Findings of Cosmic Catastrophe 3,700 Years Ago
Analysis of archaeological sites north of the Dead Sea demonstrate that a meteor explosion in the skies 3,700 years ago instantly obliterated a civilization and destroyed once fertile farmland in several settlements in the area of what is now Jordan. This discovery provides another explanation for the sudden desertion of what researchers believe to be the biblical city of Sodom.
The Middle Ghor Event
ScienceNews reports archaeologists have blamed the low-altitude explosion of a meteor for the abandonment of at least five archaeological sites in a 25-kilometer-wide (15.53 mile) circular plain called Middle Ghor in modern day Jordan. Ground surveys suggest 120 smaller settlements may have also been affected by the Bronze Age catastrophe and once fertile farmlands in the area were made barren. Despite the 2,500 years of occupation at the sites before the tragic event, the catastrophe was such that the lands were abandoned for centuries.
A less threatening meteor in the sky. ‘The Meteor of 1860’ by Frederic Edwin Church .
Archaeologist Phillip Silvia of Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque and his colleagues presented their findings last week at the annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR). The ASOR Abstract states their analysis suggests “[…] a Tunguska like, cosmic airburst event that obliterated civilization including the Middle Bronze Age city state anchored by Tall el Hammam in the Middle Ghor (the 25 km diameter circular plain immediately north of the Dead Sea) ca. 1700 B.C.E., or 3700 years before present (3.7kaBP).”
Their evidence comes primarily from analysis of samples taken over 12 years of excavations by Silvia and others during the Tall el Hammam Excavation Project and at nearby sites. One way researchers found indications of Tall el Hammam’s desertion comes in the form of radiocarbon dating of the stone foundations, which were all that was left when mudbrick buildings unexpectedly disappeared about 3,700 years ago.
The extreme heat of the meteor’s explosion explains the vitrification of the outer layers of pottery from the same time period. Strong winds also sent “tiny, spherical mineral grains that apparently rained down on Tall el-Hammam” according to Silvia . This is the dark ash that was discovered burying the scorched foundations.
Tall el Hammam – The Biblical Sodom?
Tall el Hammam is a fascinating site. In 2015, researchers declared that the archaeological site “matches the description of the area where Sodom was located according to the Bible.” Steven Collins of Trinity Southwest University of New Mexico, who has been excavating the site for at least 10 years, explained how they made the link, “It [Sodom] was said to be the largest city east of Kikkar. So, I came to the conclusion that if one wanted to find Sodom, one should seek the largest city that existed in this area during the Bronze Age, in the time of Abraham. When we explored the region, Tall el-Hammam was an obvious choice, as it was five to ten times larger than the other Bronze Age cities throughout the region, even those found beyond Jordan.”
A comparison of the site’s size and the artifacts unearthed there alongside those discovered at nearby cities led the researchers to assert they have “no doubt that Tall el-Hammam was the ancient city of Sodom.”
And now there’s a strong scientific explanation to accompany the religious one for why the city was suddenly abandoned so long ago.
In the abstract for their presentation at the ASOR meeting, the researchers call the meteor explosion the “Middle Ghor Event” and explain that it not only wiped out “100% of the Middle Bronze Age cities and towns” in the area, but also sent “a super-heated brine of Dead Sea anhydride salts” over the farm land, making it barren.
They suspect that the event was so devastating that people did not return to inhabit the region for 600 or 700 years. The discovery of huge iron gates at Tall el Hammam announced the repossession of that key city after centuries of abandonment.
To provide the last corner of the earth with Internet - plans, among others, the US company SpaceX. The company of Elon Musk wants to massively increase the number of satellites planned for this purpose. Astronomers are annoyed.
Little time?At the end of the text there is a summary.
As a radio astronomer Heino Falcke deals with the invisible to the eye phenomena of the universe.He is one of the key minds behind the first image of a black hole that researchers from a worldwide telescope network have come up with in the spring.(See here a detailed video on the topic.) Radio waves have a much larger wavelength than visible light, intergalactic clouds of dust and fog make them on their way through space nothing.
So, because Falcke does not observe in the visible light spectrum, he could easily see a development that will forever change the night sky above our heads: Several corporations want to launch countless satellites that will allow global access to the Internet.At least a part of them are likely to pull over the sky as new, artificial stars.
The US company SpaceX of Elon Musk with its Starlink constellation is currently causing quite a stir - also because the company apparently wants to launch significantly more satellites into space than previously known.
And 30,000 additional satellites.
If one adds the previously announced ones, SpaceX would even reach more than 40,000.That would be five times as many spacecraft as humanity has so far shot in space.According to statistics from the Union of Concerned Scientists, 2062 satellites are currently in operation.
"That just goes too far," complains astronomer Falcke in an interview with the SPIEGEL.However, he is less concerned with the scientific as well as the aesthetic consequences of the large SpaceX project."Due to light pollution, we can not see the sky in the cities anymore, so at least I want to admire it in the open air."But that made the mega-constellations impossible.In addition to and SpaceX other companies such as OneWeb or Amazon have their own satellite fleets for the Internet from space in preparation.
Honestly, this will be a disaster - the sky will never be the same again.After plastic soup in the ocean we will now litter the heavens.Where does it stop?https://t.co/IFb0WzcCCk
Heino Falcke (@hfalcke) October 15, 2019
To understand the dimension of the problem, Falcke makes an account: the entire sky, he explains, can be divided into 40,000 small areas, each a so-called square degree large.In such a square degree, the moon fits in four times.With more than 40,000 SpaceX satellites in each of these small sky areas, a potential new star would be on the way.
Not all satellites will be visible in the sky at all times.Nevertheless, to the arrangement: In a summer night are currently about 450 stars in the sky to admire.Even if only a tiny fraction of the Starlink satellites reflected sunlight, the nocturnal image above our heads would change radically.

Starlink satellites SpaceX crumbles the night sky?
The International Astronomical Union has expressed itself in a statement "worried" about the planned mega-constellations.And that was before the new plans of SpaceX."Amateur astronomers are more affected than the professionals," says Caroline Liefke of the Association of the Star Friends after the new announcement.If you take photos of the sky, you risk that these are only spoiled by the stripes of the satellites.There is software to remove the traces - but this increases the effort of observation.
Almost collision in September
About one-tenth of the 60 Satellite satellites launched by SpaceX in May proved to be uncontrollable in space, Liefke complains.From these tumbling specimens would go out the biggest disturbance for the sky observers.In addition, threatened with collisions with other missiles new space junk.In fact, in the beginning of September, only a hasty correction maneuver in the European satellite control center in Darmstadt had ensured that there was no collision between a Starlink satellite and the Esa observatory "Aeolus".
The @ ESA earth observation satellite #Aeolus detonated its engines this morning and was able to break away from the collision course with a @ SpaceX satellite in the # Starlink constellation.pic.twitter.com/OVWEFa46s8
ESA in German (@ESA_en) September 2, 2019
The fact that Elon Musk can launch the 40,000 satellites in the foreseeable future, however, puts Liefke in doubt: "I think that's also a marketing strategy."SpaceX wants to reserve not least orbits and transmission frequencies, "so as to ultimately limit the competition."
SpaceX has requested the launch of additional satellites from the US federal agency, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).And in turn, on October 7, the documents were forwarded to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a UN agency that works internationally to ensure that satellites do not interfere with each other.
Into space within seven years
Specifically, according to the Space News, the FCC has registered 20 packets of 1,500 SpaceX satellites each at the ITU Geneva headquarters, which are supposed to move around the Earth in orbits between 328 and 580 kilometers in altitude and transmit at different frequencies.When the satellites are to be started, is not in the documents.
Registration is a normal part of the space business.According to the current rules of the ITU, within seven years an operator must launch at least one satellite for which he has applied for a specific frequency.Then nobody else should use it.Once in orbit, however, the technology must work for at least 90 days, otherwise the registration with the authority expires.The rules should soon be tightened - also with regard to the planned Internet satellite constellations.
SpaceX sees a simple reason to increase the number of planned Internet satellites so drastically.A company spokesperson said customers simply needed more network capacity and data density for a reliable Internet around the world."Especially for those where there is no connectivity, where it is too expensive or unreliable."Because it is clear: While a planned transport service of the company to Moon and Mars must first prove to be profitable, in the Internet business may possibly earn a lot of money in the long term.
In summary:SpaceX wants to significantly increase its planned constellation of Internet satellites.Instead of 12,000 satellites, Elon Musk's company now plans to launch 42,000.Relevant documents have been submitted by the competent US authority to the United Nations.Currently, all countries in the world together have a good 2000 active satellites in space.Astronomers are critical of SpaceX's plans.They fear that the image of the night sky is too much changed.In addition, other companies are also planning large satellite fleets for worldwide Internet coverage.
‘Overtuigend’ bewijs: emeritus professor ontdekt insect- en reptielachtige wezens op Mars. Bekijk de foto’s
Een gerespecteerd wetenschapper heeft gezegd dat er leven is op Mars in de vorm van insectachtige organismen die op bijen lijken.
Emeritus professor William Romoser van de Ohio University claimt dat op foto’s die door Marsrovers van de NASA zijn gemaakt duidelijk ‘gefossiliseerde en levende wezens’ zijn te zien op het oppervlak van de rode planeet.
“Er was en is nog steeds leven op Mars,” zei Romoser.
Levend insect
Hij wees erop dat er veel overeenkomsten zijn tussen insecten op Mars en aardse insecten. Zo lijken onder meer de poten en vleugels erg op elkaar.
Hij zei dat Marsrovers foto’s hebben gemaakt die ‘duidelijk insect- en reptielachtige levensvormen laten zien’.
De wetenschapper beweerde zelfs dat op één van de afbeeldingen een levend insect is te zien.

Slang
De foto die bij het persbericht van de universiteit is geplaatst, toont onder meer poten, ogen, de kop en borstkas van een insect.
Romoser zei dat de wezens doen denken aan hommels of houtbijen op aarde.
Hij suggereerde dat de ‘bijen’ op Mars nesten maken in grotten en claimde dat op andere afbeeldingen een gefossiliseerd wezen is te zien dat op een slang lijkt.
Overtuigend
Romoser was 45 jaar lang professor entomologie, de tak van de dierkunde die zich bezighoudt met de studie van insecten.
Hij zei dat het bewijs voor insect- en reptielachtige wezens op Mars ‘overtuigend’ is.
This UFO was seen way over near Yuma not far from the US boarder which makes me wonder if its a inflatable drone used by US boarder agents. When I searched...I found that such a border drone does exist. Here are the screenshots below. I see the three white fins in the back, the hump in lower middle area and its color all match this Boarder patrol drone photos I found. Sadly I have to say nope, not a UFO this time. But still...very cool video. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan
News states:
In the video, the truck driver can be seen standing in the desert next to the road after pulling in his vehicle. Explaining the clip, taken on November 16, he says: “I’m a truck driver, I’m driving back from Yuma, Arizona, and I look up in the sky and I see this thing. “I have no idea what that thing is. “I’ll try to zoom in on it for you here, it’s kind of hard to tell, with the sun, what I’m looking at.” The object appears to be bright white and have three arms set at a 120 degree angle to each other. “What is that?” he asks. The object also looks as if it is longer than it is wide, with an area appearing as if it in shadow. “It’s just floating there,” the truck driver adds.
Entomologist claims "These photos show evidence of life on Mars"
NASA what are you going to say about the entomologist's proof that there is life on Mars.
As scientists scramble to determine whether there is life on Mars, Ohio University Professor Emeritus William Romoser's research shows that we already have the evidence, courtesy of photographs from various Mars rovers.

According to Phys.org,news Dr. Romoser, who specializes in arbovirology and general/medical entomology, has spent several years studying photographs from the red planet that are available on the Internet. He found numerous examples of insect-like forms, structured similarly to bees, as well as reptile-like forms, both as fossils and living creatures. He presented his findings Tuesday, Nov. 19, at the national meeting of the Entomological Society of America in St. Louis, Missouri.
"There is apparent diversity among the Martian insect-like fauna which display many features similar to Terran insects that are interpreted as advanced groups—for example, the presence of wings, wing flexion, agile gliding/flight, and variously structured leg elements."
Romoser said that there are a number of photos which clearly depict the insect- and reptile-like forms.
Numerous photos show images where arthropod body segments, along with legs, antennae and wings, can be picked out from the surrounding area, and one even appears to show one of the insects in a steep dive before pulling up just before hitting the ground.
Romoser noted that interpretations of insect- and reptile-like creatures he described may change in the future as knowledge of life on Mars evolves, but that the sheer volume of evidence is compelling.
Boomerang UFO Over Cuba May Be Top Secret Drone From US Navy Base, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 8, 2019 Location of sighting: Cuba This boomerang UFO was seen over the Caribbean island of Cuba last summer. Although I have reported other boomerang UFOs before, this one has a rotating white object on its bottom. It seems this rotating object moves similar to that of a radar tower, focusing a 360 degree direction around it. Its very possible that this is not an alien craft, but an America secret military radar drone that the US Navy is experimenting with. You see, US Guantanamo Bay Navel Base is in Cuba and this leads me to think the US Navy are probably responsible for this craft. I am confident this craft returned to the US base soon after this sighting. Awesome video brought to my attention by Youtube Terrys Theories. Scott C. Waring
In movies and books, fictional astronauts enter ‘suspended animation’ to cross the vastness of space. Recently ESA investigated how real-life crew hibernation would impact a space mission to Mars.
Fictional image of hibernating astronauts, via ESA.
The European Space Agency (ESA) said on November 18, 2019, that its scientists have recently been investigating the process of placing astronauts into hibernation to cross the vastness of space. These scientists met at ESA’s Concurrent Design Facility to assess the advantages of human hibernation for a trip to a neighboring planet, such as Mars. They took as their reference an existing study that described sending six humans to Mars and back on a five-year timescale. They studied how crew hibernation would impact space mission design, and put some numbers to known advantages to human hibernation for space travel, for example, that a smaller space capsule could be used if the crew were hibernating, rather than awake, for the months-long journey to Mars.
Jennifer Ngo-Anh, a team leader in ESA’s Science in Space Environment (SciSpacE) program, commented:
For a while now hibernation has been proposed as a game-changing tool for human space travel.
If we were able to reduce an astronaut’s basic metabolic rate by 75% – similar to what we can observe in nature with large hibernating animals such as certain bears – we could end up with substantial mass and cost savings, making long-duration exploration missions more feasible.
Why do we need to put astronauts into hibernation at all? The reason is that space is vast. Even our own neighborhood of space – our solar system – is subject to a space-is-vast issue that factors heavily into our missions to explore the other planets near us in space. Consider that the New Horizons mission to Pluto, for example – launched in 2006 – needed nine years to get to its flyby.
To get an idea of the distance scale of our solar system, visit “If the moon were only 1 pixel” showing the relative distances of the planets to scale on a single extra-wide page. Then try – if you can – to extend what you’ve learned to the billions of other likely solar systems in our galaxy alone.
As Joe Hansen – host of the PBS series “It’s Okay to be Smart” – says in the video below:
The human brain just can’t fathom how big things like the solar system are.
We worked on adjusting the architecture of the spacecraft, its logistics, protection against radiation, power consumption and overall mission design.
We looked at how an astronaut team could be best put into hibernation, what to do in case of emergencies, how to handle human safety and even what impact hibernation would have on the psychology of the team.
Finally we created an initial sketch of the habitat architecture and created a roadmap to achieve a validated approach to hibernate humans to Mars within 20 years.
The scientists found that the mass of a spacecraft for human hibernation could be reduced by a third.
The ESA scientists quantified what might seem fairly obvious … that a spacecraft for hibernating astronauts could be on the small side. This comparison shows the size of a module for a crewed Mars mission with its hibernation-based equivalent.
What would it be like for the astronauts? ESA explained:
The assumption was that a drug would be administered to induce ‘torpor’ – the term for the hibernating state. Like hibernating animals, the astronauts would be expected to acquire extra body fat in advance of torpor. Their soft-shell pods would be darkened and their temperature greatly reduced to cool their occupants during their projected 180-day Earth-Mars cruise.
ESA said the hibernating cruise phase would end with a 21-day recuperation period. It said that – based on the experience of animal hibernation – the crew would likely not experience bone or muscle wastage. ESA also explained:
Radiation exposure from high-energy particles is a key hazard of deep space travel, but because the hibernating crew will be spending so much time in their hibernation pods, then shielding – such as water containers – could be concentrated around them.
And ESA also spoke of the “largely autonomous operations, with optimum use of artificial intelligence” and “fault detection, isolation and recovery” needed on a spaceship where most humans are hibernating.
Sound a bit creepy or lonely? Maybe. But Ngo-Anh commented:
… the basic idea of putting astronauts into long-duration hibernation is actually not so crazy: a broadly comparable method has been tested and applied as therapy in critical care trauma patients and those due to undergo major surgeries for more than two decades. Most major medical centres have protocols for inducing hypothermia in patients to reduce their metabolism to basically gain time, keeping patients in a better shape than they otherwise would be.
We aim to build on this in future, by researching the brain pathways that are activated or blocked during initiation of hibernation, starting with animals and proceeding to people.
NASA has contracted studies on human hibernation in space, too. This image is a “settlement-class Mars Transfer Habitat” designed by NASA contractor SpaceWorks in 2017.
By the way, if you’re interested in reading a wonderful recent science fiction series depicting deep-space travel via human hibernation – two of the best sci-fi books I’ve ever read (and I’ve read a bunch) – try “Children of Time” and “Children of Ruin” by Adrian Tchaikovksy. Both have all the things I love in science fiction: travel over millenia among the stars, how the hibernating travelers perceive time passing, strange planets, weird aliens, a human love story. Human hibernation plays a big role in these awesome books!

Bottom line: The European Space Agency has been studying how real-life human hibernation would impact space mission design.
NASA has asked a team of scientists to figure out what they could learn from sending a major mission to Venus and how such a mission might work.
Last month, the team became one of 11 groups that NASA announced it would fund to study potential mission designs. Dubbed Venus Flagship, the mission would aim to answer questions about how habitable our evil-twin planet once was. Mission principal investigator Martha Gilmore, a geologist at Wesleyan University in Conn., offered an introduction to the project at a meeting on Nov. 8 of the Venus Exploration Analysis Group, which advises NASA.
Gilmore explained that the project was guided by looking for signs of past habitability on Venus. "It's always been important for Venus science; it is getting increasingly important and perhaps accessible and a little bit better understood," Gilmore said. "If we're going to tackle a problem like this, a flagship could do that."
The term flagship mission refers to a specific class of NASA project, the most expensive class in the planetary science division of the agency. (Flagship missions that are currently being built include the Europa Clipper mission, which aims to better understand the potential for life on Jupiter's icy moon.)
Recently, Venus scientists have typically focused their mission concept proposals on smaller classes, but Gilmore and her colleagues on the project think that's no longer the right approach. Instead, the researchers want to convince NASA to dedicate the most expensive class of mission to Venus, which last saw a long-term U.S. spacecraft visitor in 1994. To better their odds, the team is still aiming to be a cheaper option for the agency's tight budget.
"We want to try to do this for $2 billion," Gilmore said. "Four billion dollars is a lot of money, and we are entering a decade where there are other things that are going to be competing for the money, most notably Europa."
If the Venus Flagship mission becomes a reality, it would be particularly complex. Spacecraft would include a main orbiter, two or more smaller orbiters, two short-lived landers that would study the atmosphere on the way down, a balloon-based aerial platform and a long-lived lander. (Venus is such a harsh environment that every spacecraft to land on its surface has ceased operations within hours.)
All of those components of the project would target three different aspects of habitability on Venus that the team has identified as both scientifically valuable and feasible. The first is understanding the history of volatile compounds like water, and how their presence or absence might affect the planet's potential for life. Instruments trying to address that question might include mineral and chemical identifiers on the surface and radar instruments in orbit.
The second question targets the climate history at the surface of Venus, and the modern relationship between the surface and the atmosphere. Key instruments used might include near-infrared imagers in orbit and chemical analysis on the surface.
Finally, the mission would seek to understand geologic activity on Venus and what might be driving it, which has long stumped scientists. That would include understanding the planet's interior structure, which could rely on a would-be seismometer that measures very deep rumblings called infrasound from a balloon.
Gilmore and her colleagues will submit a report to NASA, which will in turn provide it to the National Academies of Sciences decadal planetary science review process, which will govern NASA's goals beginning in 2023.
That timeline means that any major Venus mission is many years away. But without a process like this, such a spacecraft may never launch.
"Habitability, $2 billion; those are our challenges," Gilmore said.
Galaxy clusters have been fascinating astronomers for decades. Often consisting of thousands of galaxies, the clusters are the largest known structures being held together by gravitational forces.
At their centers, astronomers have found some of the biggest and most powerful black holes ever discovered, and high-energy jets of extremely hot particles emanating from these black holes were found to be preventing the formation of stars — which, of course, raised a galactic mystery: where are all the stars coming from?
But now, thanks to data collected by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope, a team of scientists has found that a galaxy cluster called the Phoenix Cluster, some 5.8 billion light years from Earth, is birthing stars at a “furious rate.”
Its black hole seemed to be far weaker than other clusters’ black holes, with trillions of Suns’ masses worth of hot gas cooling around it, allowing the formation of a vast number of stars. Usually black holes have keep those gases from cooling — thereby stopping the formation of stars — by continuously spewing out high-energy jets of particles.
The research could help us understand the life cycle of galaxy clusters and how the supermassive black holes at their centers interfere — and sometimes, seemingly, aid — the formation of stars within them.
“Imagine running an air-conditioner in your house on a hot day, but then starting a wood fire. Your living room can’t properly cool down until you put out the fire,” co-author Brian McNamara from the University of Waterloo, Canada, said in a statement. “Similarly, when a black hole’s heating ability is turned off in a galaxy cluster, the gas can then cool.”
In fact, they found that the hot gas was cooling at the same rate as when a black hole stops injecting energy. And that means a huge amount of stars are allowed to be born in regions where the hot gas has cooled sufficiently — in fact, the Phoenix Cluster is forming new stars at 500 times the rate of the Milky Way galaxy, according to X-ray observations made by the Chandra Observatory.
This effect won’t go on forever, though.
“These results show that the black hole has temporarily been assisting in the formation of stars, but when it strengthens its effects will start to mimic those of black holes in other clusters, stifling more star birth,” co-author Mark Voit from Michigan State University said in the statement.
The Jupiter moon Europa's elusive and enigmatic water-vapor plumes do indeed seem to be real.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has spotted indirect evidence of such plumes emanating from Europa, which is thought to harbor a huge, salty ocean beneath its ice shell. And researchers have now detected one such plume's water vapor directly for the first time, a new study reports.
"Essential chemical elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur) and sources of energy, two of three requirements for life, are found all over the solar system. But the third — liquid water — is somewhat hard to find beyond Earth," study lead author Lucas Paganini, a planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and American University in Washington, D.C., said in a statement.
"While scientists have not yet detected liquid water directly, we've found the next best thing: water in vapor form," Paganini added.
Paganini and his colleagues used the W.M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii to study the 1,900-mile-wide (3,100 kilometers) Europa, which astrobiologists regard as one of the solar system's best bets to host alien life.
The researchers observed Europa for 17 nights, from February 2016 through May 2017. On one of those nights — April 26, 2016 — they got a strong signal of water vapor, in the form of a characteristic wavelength of emitted infrared light.
And there was quite a bit of the stuff — about 2,300 tons (2,095 metric tons), according to the researchers' calculations. That's almost enough to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool (which contains about 2,750 tons, or 2,500 metric tons, of water).
The researchers think the source of this water is a plume, which could be coming from the buried ocean or from a reservoir of melted ice within Europa's shell. For starters, the observed volume is much higher than what is predicted to result from "exogenic" processes, such as the stripping of water molecules from Europa's surface by Jupiter's powerful radiation belts. And such stripping would likely occur fairly regularly, or at least often enough to be noted more than one night out of 17, Paganini and his team wrote in the new paper, which was published online today (Nov. 18) in the journal Nature Astronomy.
Multiple lines of evidence now point to the existence of plumes on Europa. For example, in addition to the new results and Hubble's detection of atomic hydrogen and oxygen (which presumably came from water molecules split apart by radiation), NASA's Galileo Jupiter probe measured a big increase in the density of plasma, or ionized gas, during a Europa flyby in 1997.
And it's becoming increasingly clear that Europa's plumes are sporadic. In that regard, they're very different from the constant plume wafting from the south pole of Saturn's icy, ocean-harboring moon Enceladus, which is generated by more than 100 powerful geysers that are always on.
"For me, the interesting thing about this work is not only the first direct detection of water above Europa, but also the lack thereof within the limits of our detection method," Paganini said.
Plumes like those emanating from Enceladus and Europa are very exciting to astrobiologists, because they're sending "free samples" from potentially habitable environments out into space for potential snagging by robotic probes. And there's a possibility that a NASA spacecraft could soon do just that, if everything works out just right.
NASA is developing a mission called Europa Clipper, which is scheduled to launch in the mid-2020s. Clipper will orbit Jupiter but study Europa up close on dozens of flybys, characterizing the moon and its ocean and hunting for spots where a potential life-hunting lander could touch down in the future. Clipper could end up zooming through the plume on one or more of those flybys, if mission team members learn enough about the feature in the coming years — or if they just get really lucky.
Bosnische piramides stralen meer energie uit dan Mexicaanse piramides in Teotihuacan. Professor deelt opmerkelijke resultaten
Kwantumnatuurkundige Konstantin Korotkov van de ITMO University in Sint-Petersburg kreeg begin deze maand toestemming om energieniveaus te meten in de tunnels onder de piramides in Teotihuacan in Mexico.
Hij heeft in de tunnel van en bovenop de zonnepiramide, maanpiramide en de piramide van Quetzalcoatl een aantal metingen verricht.
De tunnels onder de zonnepiramide en de piramide van Quetzalcoastl zijn 105 meter lang en bevinden zich precies onder het centrum van de piramide.
Volgestort
De tunnel onder de zonnepiramide is smal, bochtig en de muren zijn ruw, terwijl de tunnel onder de piramide van Quetzalcoatl recht en breed is, en de muren glad zijn.
De tunnels zijn zo’n 2000 jaar geleden volgestort met aarde.
Het energieniveau in de tunnels was laag, maar bovenop de piramides was het niveau juist hoog, concludeerde dr. Korotkov.
Hoogste niveaus
Op de top van de Bosnische piramides heeft hij naar eigen zeggen tot dusver de hoogte energieniveaus gemeten.
Professor Korotkov heeft in Bosnië verschillende conferenties over de Bosnische piramides bijgewoond.
Gelijk
Hij heeft daar meerdere keren metingen gedaan.
Tijdens een persconferentie in 2016 verklaarde hij dat ‘de ontdekking van de Bosnische piramides gelijk staat aan de ontdekking van de Maya-piramides’.
U Shaped UFO Buzzing Apollo 12 Module As Lowers To Moon, 1969, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Nov 1969 Location of sighting: Earths Moon, orbit I found this UFO in an Apollo 12 index and it shows a U shaped UFO with a blue trail behind it. I added a bit of contrast to the photo to make its detail sharper. The object is huge and from the angle of the blue trail, the UFO must have come down at a 45 degree angle to the surface of the moon. Scott C.

The photo states:
While astronauts Charles Conrad Jr., commander, and Alan L. Bean, lunar module pilot, descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Intrepid" to explore the Ocean of Storms region of the moon, astronaut Richard F. Gordon Jr., command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules.
There are defiantly some strange things on earths moon. here are two odd structures I found today that really scream alien life. These two structures are made with many right angles and contain a balance on both sides that is proof that it was intelligently made.
This Day In UFO History: Milakovic Family Encounter, Hanbury, England, Nov 20, 1968, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Nov 20, 1968 Location of sighting: Hanbury, England, United Kingdom A large, house-sized object witnessed by a family. It had a dark bowl-shaped bottom, with a clear dome on top. In the lit dome area, several humanoid figures were seen moving. Two physiological effects were reported: heat felt as object passed over and burning of the eyes when its light intensity increased. The small, dank mining town of Hednesford, Staffordshire, England, lies near the southern end of Cannock Chase. Mr. and Mrs. Milin Milakovic and their 11 children live at 432 Cannock Road. On the afternoon of November 20, 1968, the Yugoslavian couple and their 11-year old son, Slavic, left Hednesford on a house-hunting trip. They journeyed through the English countryside to Rugeley, Abbots Bromley, and stopped at Hanbury to view Hanbury Hall. Hanbury, on the Staffordshire-Derbyshire border, is midway between Uttoexter and Burton-on-Trent. Three and one-half miles to the northwest is Central Workshop 32 R.E.M.E., an army installation. Two miles to the northwest is a Royal Air Force station, used as an ammunition dump "and there are very vague rumors that nuclear weapons are stored there."
Three miles to the south is a World War II airfield, used by the Ind Coope brewery firm for light aircraft. On the road home, the Milakovics stopped just outside Hanbury to look at an old house for sale. As they continued on, dusk was rapidly approaching. It was between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. The couple saw a rabbit scurry across the road, followed by a number of other rabbits from a hedge on the left side of the road. Glancing to the left, the witnesses saw a brilliant object in the field. Milakovic stopped the car as the UFO rose slowly and flew over the car. The couple got out of the automobile and watched as the object moved over a field on the right side of the road toward a house about 100 yards away.
As it got over the house, it stopped, hovered, and quivered "like a jelly." Doris Milakovic said that the air temperature appeared considerably warmer as the UFO flew overhead, but, as it moved on, the temperature dropped. She also said that the object looked "as wide as the house." For approximately five minutes, Mrs. Milakovic, her husband and son saw what appeared to be several humanoid figures walking across the bright top of the UFO. Intermittently, "some of the figures were seen to bend down as though looking at something in the part of the object below the rim. . . ." Then, the object began moving up in a "pulsating or jerky" movement. Its light intensity greatly increased and Milakovic felt his eyes were burning. Thoroughly frightened, Milakovic, normally a brave man, pushed his wife and son into the car and sped away from the scene.
Is is a huge statue that is half buried by the sands. Its easy to make our the waist, hips, chest, arms and shoulders. However the helmet is turned sideways, with its back to us so its difficult to see. The helmet also seems to have decoration on it. This statue was found by Art Alien of Youtube. Just as humans made the faces of presidents on Mount Rushmore in South Dakota...aliens made this statue alone the edge of this rocky hillside. This is 100% proof that aliens existed and they looked like us.
143 New Nazca Lines discovered in Peru including drawings of strange beings
Aresearch team led by Professor Masato Sakai(Cultural anthropology, Andean archeology) at Yamagata Universitydiscovered 142 new geoglyphs, which depict people, animals and other strange beings, like a drawing what looks like an reptilian, etched into the desert in southern Peru around the enigmatic Nazca Lines.
The geoglyphs include humans, many different animals (including birds, monkeys, fish, snakes, foxes, felines, and camelids) and strange beings.. All of these figures were created by removing the black stones that cover the land, thereby exposing the white sand beneath and were found between 2016 and 2018.
They were identified through fieldwork and analysing high-resolution 3D data and aerial photography. Incredibly, one geoglyph in particular was solely discovered with AI technology, without the aid of humans, making it the first geoglyph discovered by an AI.
It is yet another example of how technology is assisting archaeology because a number of images were found using state-of-the-art AI technology developed by IBM, finds that were then confirmed with an on-site investigations.
The biomorphic geoglyphs are thought to date back to at least 100 BC to AD 300.
Scientists are still trying to figure out where Mars’ methane comes from. Now there’s a new mystery that might be connected: unusual fluctuations of oxygen in Mars’ atmosphere, detected by the Curiosity rover.
Recent self-portrait of NASA’s Curiosity on Mars, stitched together from 57 individual images taken by a camera on the end of Curiosity’s robotic arm on October 11, 2019 (Sol 2,553).
Image via NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS. Curious about Curiosity’s self-portraits? Here’s the story behind them.
The presence of methane in Mars’ atmosphere has been a fascinating puzzle for planetary scientists. That’s because, on Earth, methane is linked to life, but it can also be produced geologically. Some of the best data about Mars’ methane has come from the Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars after a daring descent through the atmosphere in August, 2012. Now Curiosity has made another intriguing discovery: oxygen at the rover’s location is behaving in ways that haven’t yet been explained by any known atmospheric or chemical process. The levels of the gas increase much more in the spring and summer months than had been predicted, similar to the still-mysterious methane. The big question, of course, is why?
The baffling peer-reviewed results were just published in the November 12, 2019, issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
Sushil Atreya, professor of climate and space sciences at the University of Michigan, said:
The first time we saw that, it was just mind boggling.
Seasonal variations in oxygen levels in Gale Crater from 2012-2017. So far, scientists haven’t been able to explain these changes.
Image via Melissa Trainer/Dan Gallagher/NASA Goddard/NASA.
Curiosity analyzed the composition of the air at Gale Crater over three Mars years (about six Earth years), using its Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) portable chemistry lab. The results were pretty much what had been expected, and known for years: 95% carbon dioxide (CO2), 2.6% molecular nitrogen (N2), 1.9% argon (Ar), 0.16% molecular oxygen (O2), and 0.06% carbon monoxide (CO). (The methane is normally in much smaller amounts, about 0.00000004% on average).
The nitrogen and argon tend to follow a predictable pattern each year, increasing and decreasing relative to how much carbon dioxide there is. This is related to changing air pressure during the year, since carbon dioxide freezes as snow and ice over the planet’s poles during the winter, which lowers the air pressure. The air pressure rises again when the carbon dioxide evaporates in the spring and summer.
This is where it gets weird. Scientists had expected that the oxygen would follow the same pattern as the nitrogen and argon, but it didn’t. The oxygen level increased much more in spring and summer – as much as 30% – and then dropped back to normal levels, and even below, in the fall. This same process was observed by Curiosity each Martian spring and summer.
So what are the possible explanations? The researchers have considered several possibilities, but none of them explain all of the results.
Was there a problem with the SAM lab? The researchers checked but the instrument was fine and working properly.
Could carbon dioxide or water molecules have released oxygen when they broke apart in the atmosphere due to solar radiation? Probably not, since it would take five times more water vapor than exists to produce the amount of oxygen observed. Carbon dioxide would break up too slowly to generate the same amount of oxygen over such a short time period.
As for the oxygen decrease seen later, could that have been caused by solar radiation breaking apart oxygen molecules? No, since that would be an even slower process, taking up to 10 years.
The scientists involved also think it is unlikely to be caused simply by atmospheric circulation patterns. According to Melissa Trainer, a planetary scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GFSC) who led the research:
We’re struggling to explain this. The fact that the oxygen behavior isn’t perfectly repeatable every season makes us think that it’s not an issue that has to do with atmospheric dynamics. It has to be some chemical source and sink that we can’t yet account for.
As Timothy McConnochie, assistant research scientist at the University of Maryland, also noted:
We have not been able to come up with one process yet that produces the amount of oxygen we need, but we think it has to be something in the surface soil that changes seasonally because there aren’t enough available oxygen atoms in the atmosphere to create the behavior we see.
Diagram showing the seasonal cycle of methane as detected by the Curiosity rover in Gale Crater. The methane also varies in concentration on a daily basis as well as seasonal.
The paper itself goes into more detail about each of these hypotheses and how none of them adequately explain the results so far. Yet something is producing a lot more oxygen during the warmer months than there should be. Intriguingly, both the oxygen and methane have been observed to fluctuate like this in tandem on at least some occasions, suggesting there may be a common source. As Atreya also noted:
We’re beginning to see this tantalizing correlation between methane and oxygen for a good part of the Mars year. I think there’s something to it. I just don’t have the answers yet. Nobody does.
On Earth, having oxygen and methane together is regarded as a biosignature, since they tend to destroy each other unless they are being continuously produced and fluxed into the atmosphere at relatively high rates. Because of this, the two gases are said to be in a state of thermodynamic disequilibrium.
By far, most of the oxygen and methane on Earth are produced by and/or consumed by life. Could that really be what’s happening on Mars? Or is there still some other unknown chemistry occurring? The Curiosity data showed that the background methane levels decreased at the same time as the oxygen levels did in the last half of each year, although the oxygen increases again earlier in the year than the methane, and is more variable year-to year. The larger “spike” in methane seen by Curiosity however, also occurred during the same period of time as the increase of oxygen in the spring. What all this means isn’t clear yet, and more study will be needed.
Melissa Trainer at Goddard Spaceflight Center (GFSC), who led the new research.
If there really is a correlation between the oxygen and methane on Mars, that could be a potential biosignature. A previous study in 2014 by Shawn Domagal-Goldman of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center found that while oxygen and methane by themselves could sometimes be created by non-biological processes, on exoplanets for example, but finding them together would be a more convincing biosignature:
However, our research strengthens the argument that methane and oxygen together, or methane and ozone together, are still stro-ng signatures of life. We tried really, really hard to make false-positive signals for life, and we did find some, but only for oxygen, ozone, or methane by themselves.
These odd fluctuations in the oxygen levels at Gale Crater – with a possible connection to the methane fluctuations and spikes – are a fascinating new mystery for Mars scientists to try and solve. As Trainer summarized:
This is the first time where we’re seeing this interesting behavior over multiple years. We don’t totally understand it. For me, this is an open call to all the smart people out there who are interested in this: See what you can come up with.
Bottom line: NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected unusual increases and decreases in the level of oxygen in the air at Gale Crater. In some ways these are similar to the fluctuations of methane, and may even be connected.
SpaceX’s Starlink took to the skies on Monday, and it left an impressive trail in the sky.
As the Falcon 9 soared up from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, it marked a new step in SpaceX’s efforts to start a new business venture. The rocket lifted up 60 Starlink satellites, tiny crafts that could one day orbit the Earth in their thousands, providing ultra-fast, low-latency internet access almost anywhere in the world.
The launch also marked three firsts: the first time SpaceX has flown the same booster four times, the first time SpaceX has landed the same booster four times, and the first time it has re-flown the protective fairing shield.
It could help SpaceX, and CEO Elon Musk, achieve some of their most ambitious goals. The company wants to build a city on Mars and establish a planet-hopping society, but it needs money to fund its grand ventures.
SpaceX is aiming to build a city on Mars, a venture that Musk has suggested could cost between $100 billion or $10 trillion and require sending up one million tons of cargo. The company is working on the Starship, a fully-reusable rocket that could cost just $2 million per launch to send up 100 tons — a steep drop from the $62 million price tag for the Falcon 9. But the entire rocket launch industry, where SpaceX currently makes its money, only provides around $5 billion annual revenue.
Internet connectivity could be the key. Musk has projected that the entire industry brings in around $1 trillion revenue per year. If SpaceX could bring in three to five percent of that, it would massively expand its annual revenue and receive the funds it could use to build a Mars city.
With that in mind, SpaceX’s Monday launch could be far more than an impressive display of rocket prowess.
The rocket blazes a fierce trail as it leaves the base.
With the second Starlink launch, SpaceX has now launched 120 satellites for the constellation. The first launch was in May 2019, and Musk subsequently employed the first lot to send a tweet. SpaceX is estimating that the service will go online for the northern United States and Canada after six launches, sometime in 2020. The service could go live for a large proportion of the world in 2021, after 24 launches.
The Starlink mission takes off.
The eventual constellation could number in the thousands. SpaceX filed a plan with the FCC in April 2019 to fly over 4,000 crafts in orbit, most of which would orbit at a low altitude of around 550 kilometers. This low orbit should enable latency of just 15 milliseconds.
This would rival the total number of satellites in space right now including inactive ones, a figure estimated at around 5,000. But SpaceX is thinking bigger: it asked for permission last month to fly 42,000 satellites.
The rocket lifting off from the air force base.
Monday’s launch was also impressive for its rocket-reusing accolades. It was the fourth time the same booster had supported a mission. The rocket got its first outing with the Iridium-7 flight in July 2018. The second launch came with the SAOCOM-1A flight in October 2018. The third was the Nusantara Satu flight in February 2019.
View from the green.
It was also the first time SpaceX re-used the same fairing, the protective cover that helps the payload successfully reach space. This component was previously used with the Falcon Heavy on the Arabsat-6A mission in April 2019. SpaceX has pushed to collect both halves of the cover after a mission, fitting two ships with nets in a bid to catch them as they fall to Earth. The company opted not to use the ships for Monday’s mission.

Expect more launches from SpaceX as Starlink starts to take shape.
Bizarre Stairway to Heaven UFO Spotted Over Florida
A strange cloud formation recorded on video over Florida has baffled some viewers, with several pointed to alien involvement.
The clip appears to show clouds organised in a ladder shape or stairway, with rings going up into heaven.
Since conspiracy theorist mavi 777 uploaded the video to YouTube, it has caused a stir in less than 24 hours.
The sighting was recorded on video on October 27 in mostly clear skies, with a thin layer of clouds above.
A baffled YouTuber said they initially thought it could be trails left by a plane but later changed their mind. They said that it is very challenging to figure out what is going there.
Another person commented along with alien emoji, saying that the rings in the clouds are freaky hell.
One YouTuber asked what causes the mushrooms over Florida.
Some others suggested that a cloaking UFO partially revealed itself accidentally.
They said that the cloaking capability of the UFO partially failed, the reason it shows some of its features to the people on the ground.
Snow Flake UFO Seen Over Power Lines In Rio De Janeiro, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: Nov 2019
Location of discovery: Rio De Janeiro
Here is a really strange looking object flying over some power lines in Rio De Janeiro this week. The object has ten arms sticking out. The UFO appears to be snowflake in shape, ten spines or more sticking outward. I have never seen a UFO this shape before, but they do come in all shapes and sizes. This one silently hovers over the power lines while it scans the information moving through the lines. The UFO doesn't need electricity, but does seek knowledge. Many UFOs over the years have been seen near power lines doing similar research. I am certain this is not a RC drone since it is silent and drones are very loud. Also it has ten arms or more, drones usually have six or less.
UFOs Seen Landing Behind Dubai On Nov 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Nov 13, 2019 Location of sighting: Dubai, UAE In this video, the UFOs seen here zig zag as they fall to earth. Although some may think its skydivers at night, no plane was seen in the sky at this time, and no pilot would fly without his lights turned on. They were intelligently controlled as you see from the behavior of them following one another. Dubai would be of extreme interest to aliens, since it draws a massive amount of tourists every year. These UFOs are moving with deliberate motion and clearly not space junk, a meteor or a crashing plane. These UFOs are probably landing at Dubai dropping of alien tourists. Yeah, some specie do walk among us.
Scott C. Waring Eyewitness states:
At around 7:45pm on November 13th 2019 a single UFO object appeared for a short time over the skies of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Some speculated as to whether this was a comet, meteor or asteroid? A short while after the first UFO disappeared, two more appeared out of thin air and were making acrobatic aerial maneuvers which had one person speculating whether these were drones?
James Josephides/Swinburne Astronomy ProductionsEen artistieke impressie van het wegschieten van ster S5-HVS1 uit het centrum van onze Melkweg.
WETENSCHAP S5-HVS1 is de naam van een ster die vijf miljoen jaar geleden uit het ‘hart der duisternis’ van onze Melkweg werd weggeschoten. Astronomen hebben ontdekt dat ze met een duizelingwekkende snelheid van zomaar eventjes 6 miljoen km/uur richting uitgang van ons sterrenstelsel raast.
Vijf miljoen jaar geleden werd S5-HVS1 uit een superzwaar zwart gat in het centrum van ons melkwegstelsel weggekatapulteerd met een ongeziene snelheid. Een groep wetenschappers onder leiding van Sergey Koposov van de Carnegie Mellon University heeft de ster ontdekt in het sterrenbeeld Kraanvogel. De ster werd - toevallig - gespot op relatief korte afstand (29.000 lichtjaar) van de aarde, met een snelheid die tien keer hoger ligt dan die van de meeste sterren in onze Melkweg.
S5-HVS1 werd ontdekt met behulp van de Anglo-Australische telescoop (AAT) en van ESA’s ruimtetelescoop Gaia. “De snelheid van de ontdekte ster is zo hoog dat ze onvermijdelijk de Melkweg zal verlaten en nooit meer terugkeren”, aldus Douglas Boubert van de universiteit van Oxford. De wetenschappers zijn enthousiast omdat ze al langer vermoedden dat zwarte gaten sterren kunnen verdrijven met erg hoge snelheden, maar “nog nooit zo’n snelle ster ondubbelzinnig konden associëren met het centrum de Melkweg”.
De onderzoekers konden het traject van de ster traceren tot Sagittarius A*, het zwarte gat van meer dan 4 miljoen zonsmassa’s in het midden van de Melkweg. Het is het eerste aangetoonde voorbeeld van het zogenaamde Hills-mechanisme, waarbij sterren met enorme snelheden weggekatapulteerd worden uit het centrum van melkwegstelsels. “Het is echt geweldig om deze ster te zien, omdat we weten dat ze in het galactische centrum moet zijn gevormd, een plek die heel anders is dan onze lokale omgeving. Het is een bezoeker uit een vreemd land”, zegt wetenschapper Ting Li.

WETENSCHAPMelkwegstelsels die miljoenen lichtjaren van elkaar verwijderd liggen, schijnen synchroon met elkaar te bewegen volgens vaak nog onverklaarde patronen. Op dit ogenblik hebben wetenschappers nog geen verklaring voor het bizarre fenomeen, maar ze vermoeden dat er een onzichtbaar netwerk van “grootschalige intergalactische structuren” bestaat. De ontdekking zou ertoe kunnen leiden dat ons huidig begrip van het universum volledig bijgesteld moet worden.
Melkwegstelsels die op “slechts” enkele miljoenen lichtjaren van elkaar verwijderd liggen, kunnen elkaar middels hun zwaartekracht op een voorspelbare manier beïnvloeden: ze hebben een effect op elkaars bewegingen, vormen en snelheden.
Maar wetenschappers hebben nu ook mysterieuze verbanden ontdekt tussen melkwegstelsels die te ver uit elkaar liggen om invloed te ondergaan van elkaars zwaartekracht. Uit een studie die in oktober gepubliceerd werd in het vakblad Astrophysical Journal, bleek dat honderden melkwegstelsels synchroon bewegen met melkwegstelsels die tientallen miljoenen lichtjaren van hen verwijderd zijn.
“Grootschalige structuren”
De ontdekking wijst op de raadselachtige invloed van zogenaamde “grootschalige structuren”. Ze bestaan uit waterstofgas en donkere materie (de zogenaamde ‘dark matter’) en linken de melkwegstelsels aan elkaar in een uitgebreid netwerk dat het ‘kosmische web’ wordt genoemd. Het is geweten dat deze structuren een enorme invloed uitoefenen op de evolutie en bewegingen van melkwegstelsels, maar het is nog erg onduidelijk hoe dat precies in zijn werk gaat.
Het is onmogelijk dat melkwegstelsels die zo ver van elkaar verwijderd zijn, rechtstreeks met elkaar communiceren
Joon Hyeop Lee
Joon Hyeop Lee, astronoom aan het Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute en hoofdauteur van de studie, bestudeerde samen met zijn collega’s 445 melkwegstelsels binnen een afstand van 400 miljoen lichtjaren van de Aarde. Ze ontdekten een synchroniciteit in de beweging van velen van hen. “De geobserveerde coherentie moet verband houden met grootschalige structuren, want het is onmogelijk dat melkwegstelsels die zes megaparsecs (zo’n 20 miljoen lichtjaren) van elkaar verwijderd zijn, rechtstreeks met elkaar communiceren”, aldus Lee.
Een andere studie, die in 2014 gepubliceerd werd in het tijdschrift Astronomy and Astrophysics, toonde aan dat reusachtige zwarte gaten zich op elkaar afstemmen, zelfs al liggen ze miljarden lichtjaren uit elkaar.
Gevolgen
Het geheim achter deze synchroniciteit kan het ‘kosmologisch principe’, een van de basisveronderstellingen over het universum, op losse schroeven zetten. Het kosmologisch principe stelt dat het universum op extreem grote schaal uniform en homogeen is. Maar de correlaties tussen melkwegstelsels en zwarte gaten op een extreem grote schaal wijzen echter op een anomalie in het principe.
Verder onderzoek moet uitwijzen of er nog meer gelijkaardige structuren aangetroffen worden en of er dus sprake is van een echte anomalie.
Er is echter nog veel bijkomend onderzoek nodig om het mechanisme achter de synchroniciteit te begrijpen, maar de huidige beschikbare technologische middelen stellen grenzen aan de data die verzameld kan worden. Toekomstige radiotelescopen, zoals de Square Kilometre Array die wordt gebouwd in Zuid-Afrika en Australië, zouden hopelijk meer licht op de zaak kunnen werpen.
AFPAsteroïde Ryugu nadat Hayabusa-2 is vertrokken.
WETENSCHAP & PLANEETDe Japanse sonde Hayabusa-2 heeft afscheid genomen van de asteroïde Ryugu en is op weg naar huis. Dat heeft het Japanse ruimtevaartbureau Jaxa meegedeeld.
De tweede Japanse asteroïdeverkenner vertrok in december 2014 om eind juni vorig jaar de 250 miljoen km van ons verwijderde steenklomp Ryugu te bereiken. De sonde heeft succesvol monsters van het oppervlak en voor het eerst van onder dat oppervlak vergaard.
De Hayabusa-2 nam gisteren vervroegd afscheid van Ryugu, om in november of december van volgend jaar na een reis van ongeveer 800 miljoen km op onze planeet terug te zijn. Aanvankelijk was de terugreis voor eind dit jaar voorzien. Wetenschappers hopen door de stalen meer te leren over het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel. Mogelijk omvatten ze organische moleculen en water.
The U.S. Navy's acknowledgmentthat the 2004 videos of an encounter with a UFO were real has caused much consternation. Now, a new report says two "unknown individuals" told several Naval officers who witnessed the event, known as the USS Nimitz UFO incident, to delete evidence.
The report, published in Popular Mechanics, cites interviews with five Navy veterans who discussed what they experienced at the time while they were sailing on the USS Princeton on Nov. 14, 2004, off the coast of southern California.
One of the men, Gary Voorhis, said he was chatting with some of the radar techs on the USS Princeton when he heard them talking about "ghost tracks" and "clutter" on the radar system, a state-of-the-art Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) and AEGIS Combat System.
“Once we finished all the recalibration and brought it back up, the tracks were actually sharper and clearer,” Voorhis told the news outlet. “Sometimes they’d be at an altitude of 80,000 or 60,000 feet. Other times they’d be around 30,000 feet, going like 100 knots. Their radar cross sections didn’t match any known aircraft; they were 100 percent red. No squawk, no IFF (Identification Friend or Foe).”
Operations Specialist Senior Chief Kevin Day said in the documentary film, The Nimitz Encounters, that his job was to "man the radars and ID everything that flew in the skies."
On or around Nov. 10, approximately 100 miles off the San Diego coast, Day noticed the stranger tracks on the radar.
“The reason why I say they’re weird [is] because they were appearing in groups of five to 10 at a time and they were pretty closely spaced to each other. And there were 28,000 feet going a hundred knots tracking south,” Day said in the documentary.
The Navy eventually sent out fighter jets to get a look at the object, with one succeeding in getting it on video--the now-famous black-and-white tape that was released publicly in 2017. Along with that tape, there were two other video recordings from years later that were released publicly by the New York Times, Fox News has previously reported.
The videos in question, known as "FLIR1,” “Gimbal” and “GoFast,” were originally released to the New York Times and to The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, co-founded by former Blink 182 rocker Tom DeLonge.
The first video of the unidentified object was taken on Nov. 14, 2004, and shot by the F-18's gun camera. The second video was taken on Jan. 21, 2015, and shows another aerial vehicle with pilots commenting on how strange it is. The third video was also taken on Jan. 21, 2015, but it is unclear whether the third video was of the same object or a different one.
After the incident with the "Tic Tac"-shaped object that Voorhis said gave off "a kind of a phosphorus glow" at night while darting around, two "unknown individuals" took all of the data recordings.
“They were not on the ship earlier, and I didn’t see them come on. I’m not sure how they got there,” said P.J. Hughes, who was miles away from the Princeton, and was unaware of the unidentified objects, in the interview.
Hughes added that he was told by his commanding officer to turn over the recently secured hard drives of the airborne early-warning aircraft, the E-2 Hawkeye.
“We put them in the bags, he took them, then he and the two anonymous officers left,” Hughes said.
On the Princeton, Voorhis described a similar situation.
“These two guys show up on a helicopter, which wasn’t uncommon, but shortly after they arrived, maybe 20 minutes, I was told by my chain of command to turn over all the data recordings for the AEGIS system,” Voorhis added in the interview with Popular Mechanics.
It may be convenient to blame "unknown individuals" for the disappearance of the tapes, but Cmdr. David Fravor, one of the pilots who was able to get a close view of the object, said people accidentally erased and recorded over them.
“You know how it is when you go to and from cruise,” Fravor said in a January interview on The Fighter Pilot Podcast. “Someone goes, ‘What are these? Hey, they look like blank 8mm tapes. We’ll just use them.”
Earlier this year, the Navy issued new classified guidelines on how to report such instances “in response to unknown, advanced aircraft flying into or near Navy strike groups or other sensitive military facilities and formations.”
Warner's spokesperson indicated that the senator sought to probe safety concerns surrounding "unexplained interference" naval pilots faced, according to Politico. The outlet reported more briefings were being requested as news surfaced that the Navy revised its procedures for personnel reporting on unusual aircraft sightings.
President Trump said he has been briefed on Navy pilots' reported sightings of unidentified flying objects, but remained skeptical of the existence of UFOs.
"I want them to think whatever they think," Trump told ABC News' George Stephanopolous earlier this year, referring to the Navy pilots. "I did have one very brief meeting on it. But people are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particularly."
In December 2017, Fox News reported that the Pentagon had secretly set up a program to invest igate UFOs at the request of former Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., who expressed his desire earlier this year for lawmakers to hold public hearings into what the military knows.
Mysterie wordt steeds groter: wie zijn toch die ‘onbekende individuen’ die legerofficieren opdracht geven om UFO-bewijs te vernietigen?
In 2004 kwamen Amerikaanse straaljagerpiloten die waren gestationeerd op de USS Nimitz voor de oostkust van de Verenigde Staten oog in oog met een UFO.
Voormalige officieren van het vliegdekschip zeggen nu dat ze alle opnames moesten overdragen aan ‘onbekende individuen’.
In 2017 lekten er beelden uit van de UFO, die laten authentiek bleken te zijn.

Steeds meer veteranen die rond 2004 deel uitmaakten van de Nimitz Carrier Strike Group beweren nu dat er ‘mysterieuze individuen’ aan boord kwamen om te voorkomen dat het UFO-bewijs naar buiten zou komen.
Eén van hen, Gary Voorhis, kreeg op de USS Princeton bezoek van twee ‘onbekende personen’.
“Ze arriveerden per helikopter en kort daarna, hooguit 20 minuten, kreeg ik te horen dat ik alle gegevens van het AEGIS-systeem moest overdragen,” zei hij.
Harde schijven
Een andere officier, P.J. Hughes, kreeg van zijn leidinggevende te horen dat hij alle harde schijven van het AWACS-vliegtuig E-2 Hawkeye moest afstaan.
“De mannen waren eerder nog niet op het schip en ik heb ze niet aan boord zien gaan,” zei hij.
We stopten de harde schijven in zakken, waarna de anonieme officieren het schip weer verlieten, aldus Hughes.
Verdwenen
Commandant David Fravor was één van de piloten die de UFO moest zien te onderscheppen.
Hij zei eerder dat opnames van de confrontatie op mysterieuze wijze uit zijn kluisje waren verdwenen.
Mystery Creature With Square Head Featured in Newly-Found Ancient Peruvian Geoglyphs - Photos
Located about 400 km south of Lima, the mysterious lines and geoglyphs of the Nazca Desert have fascinated scientists for nearly a century, and been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site to ensure their protection.
Researchers from Japan’s Yamagata University have used advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, to discover a whopping 143 never-before documented geoglyphs along southern Peru’s Nazca plateau, NHK has reported.
The geoglyphs, compiled over the course of over three years through the careful examination of the faint outlines of the patterns, were revealed at a presentation on Friday.
The 143 new images, ranging from just five meters to 100 meters in size, include a mysterious humanoid, a square-headed creature, along with various animals, includingwhat appear to be cats, massive two-headed snakes, fish and even what looks like a dinosaur, with the newly-found geoglyphs said to have been created between 100 BC and 300 AD.

IBM-powered machine-learning technology was said to have been used in the study to process satellite data.
Researchers say the next step will be to compile a geographic distribution of the images, and, crucially, an analysis of what may have driven ancient peoples to create them.
Wayside Markers? Gifts to the Gods? Ancient Aliens?
The first recorded mention of the mysterious lines and figures of the Nazca Plateau was provided in the 16th century by Spanish conquistadors, who believed the geoglyphs may have served as some sort of wayside marker. In the 20th century, Peruvian and world scholars including archaeologists such as Dr. Toribio Mexta Xesspe used fledgling aerial surveying technology to reveal their existence to the world.
Scientists have yet to reach a consensus on the mysterious geoglyphs’ origins and purpose, as well as how the region’s ancient Nazca peoples created them in the first place, given their limited technological capabilities. Some speculate that the geoglyphs may have been a form of ancient astronomy, while others assume they may have been meant as a gift to the deities, or a good luck symbol ensuring a safe long-distance journey. More outlandish speculation has even included claims that alien creatures from other planets created the geoglyphs, or instructed human beings on how to do so. But despite all the speculation, no conclusive reason for the enigmatic images has been agreed upon.
Even after decades of careful research, new Nazca geoglyphs continue to be found to this day, with some 50 discovered just last year.
Mysterieus wezen met vierkant hoofd en dinosaurus. Deze geogliefen zijn zojuist ontdekt in Peru
Onderzoekers van de Japanse Yamagata University hebben met behulp van kunstmatige intelligentie maar liefst 143 nieuwe Nazcalijnen ontdekt in het zuiden van Peru, meldt NHK.
De mysterieuze geogliefen zijn vrijdag onthuld tijdens een presentatie.
De nieuwe patronen, met een doorsnee van vijf tot 100 meter, tonen onder meer een vreemd mensachtig wezen met een vierkant hoofd.
Satellietbeelden
Er zijn ook Nazcalijnen gevonden die katten, tweekoppige slangen, vissen en zelfs een dinosaurus laten zien.
Voor het onderzoek zijn satellietbeelden geanalyseerd met behulp van geavanceerde technologie.
De onderzoekers gaan de patronen nu in kaart brengen en analyseren.
50
Wetenschappers weten nog altijd niet zeker hoe de geogliefen zijn gemaakt en met welk doel.
Sommigen speculeren dat het gaat om giften aan de goden, terwijl anderen beweren dat ze zijn gemaakt door buitenaardse wezens of dat zij mensen opdracht hebben gegeven om ze te maken.
Afgelopen jaar werden er ook al 50 nieuwe Nazcalijnen gevonden.

Wat hebben Maria Orsic en Vril te maken met Duitse vliegende schotels? Dit geheime genootschap was verantwoordelijk voor het UFO-onderzoek van de nazi’s
Halverwege de jaren veertig werden er talloze keren onverklaarbare objecten waargenomen in het luchtruim.
Tegen het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog werden militaire toestellen ’s nachts gevolgd door snel bewegende objecten.
De piloten zeiden dat deze objecten in staat waren om snel van koers te veranderen, hun toestellen konden afschudden en zich gedroegen alsof ze werden bestuurd door een intelligentie.
Foo fighters
Er werden onder meer witte objecten en rode en oranje bollen gezien, die de piloten deden denken aan kerstverlichting.
Bemanningsleden van bommenwerpers spraken over ‘foo fighters’, lichtgevende bollen die opeens verschenen, een poosje hun vliegtuig volgden en meestal even plotseling weer verdwenen.
Overheidsagentschappen probeerden het fenomeen af te doen als massahysterie en hallucinaties, een hoax of een verkeerde interpretatie van bekende objecten.
Thule-Gesellschaft
Desondanks bleven de waarnemingen binnenstromen en is er tot op heden geen verklaring voor de UFO’s.
Sommige onderzoekers stellen dat de objecten vliegende schotels waren die door nazi-Duitsland werden gebouwd.
Aan de wieg van de Deutsche Arbeiterspartij (DAP), de voorloper van Adolf Hitlers NSDAP, stond het Thule-Gesellschaft, een occulte organisatie die in 1918 werd gesticht in München.
Vril
Prominente leden van dit genootschap waren Hans Frank, de hoofdjurist van nazi-Duitsland, en Rudolf Hess, de plaatsvervanger van Hitler.
Hess, de op twee na machtigste nazi, was ook verbonden aan een ander genootschap, genaamd Vril.
Dit genootschap bestond voornamelijk uit jonge, aantrekkelijke vrouwen die claimden op telepathische wijze te communiceren met buitenaardse wezens.
Handleidingen
De leider van het geheime genootschap, Maria Orsic, nam contact op met Hess om informatie te delen over de wezens waarmee ze naar eigen zeggen in contact stond.
Ze had haar boodschappen opgeschreven in twee talen, een taal die werd gebruikt door de Tempeliers en een taal die historici hebben gelinkt aan een Duitse occulte groep die bekendstond als de ‘Thule’.
De informatie werd vertaald in het Duits en bleek handleidingen te bevatten voor het bouwen van vliegende schotels.
Aldebaran
Nadat de schotels waren gebouwd verdween de Vril plotseling en liet Orsic een brief achter waarin stond: “Niemand blijft hier.”
Onderzoekers denken dat zij de vaartuigen hebben gebruikt om de planeet te verlaten. Orsic claimde namelijk te communiceren met buitenaardsen uit het stelsel van Aldebaran in sterrenbeeld Stier.
Bizarre wolkenformatie boven North Carolina leidt tot speculatie over vliegende schotels, aliens. Wat is het?
Beelden van een mysterieus gat in de wolken boven North Carolina hebben op sociale media voor de nodige ophef gezorgd. Sommigen zeiden dat een UFO verantwoordelijk was voor het bizarre patroon in de wolken.
De lokale zender WBTV plaatste maandag een foto van het tafereel, waarop een bijna perfecte cirkel in de wolken is te zien.
Het duurde niet lang voordat ook andere mensen foto’s begonnen te plaatsen op Facebook.
Vliegende schotel
Sommigen van hen suggereerden dat het gat was veroorzaakt door een vliegende schotel.
“Aliens!” schreef Dan Ciaccio op Facebook.
“Wauw! Lijkt op een scène uit Independence Day!” zei Jennifer Brady Ellis, verwijzende naar de film uit 1996.
Nog vreemdere wolk
Kathy Lynn Carlin zag het gat ontstaan. Het duurde zo’n 10 minuten voordat het gat zich had gevormd, waarna een nog vreemdere wolk in het midden verscheen, zei ze.
“Kan iemand me alsjeblieft uitleggen wat dit is?” vroeg ze op Facebook.
Pilotengat
Experts denken dat het gaat om een pilotengat, ook wel fallstreak hole of vliegtuiggat genoemd, een fenomeen dat al vaak heeft geleid tot UFO-meldingen.
Dergelijke gaten worden gevormd wanneer de watertemperatuur in de wolken onder het vriespunt is, maar het water nog niet bevroren is vanwege het ontbreken van condensatiekernen, deeltjes waarop ijskieming plaatsvindt.
On May 24, 1989, in a live interview with investigative reporter George Knapp on KLAS-Las Vegas, Robert “Bob” Lazar took the first steps toward becoming one of the most influential (and controversial) figures in all of UFO lore.
Concealing his identity and using the pseudonym “Dennis,” Lazar said that deep within an unconfirmed section of Area 51 called “S4,” he’d once worked on recovered extraterrestrial spacecraft for the US government.
Months later, no longer concealing his identity, Lazar claimed the US government was now waging an all out covert war against him. He said it shot out one of his tires and erased all of his educational records from CalTech and MIT. Lazar eventually claimed that, while at Area 51, his job was to reverse-engineer an alien material called “element 115” that he claimed was used to power an alien spacecraft. Lazar has repeatedly hinted that he took a piece of element 115 from Area 51, and that this element is of great interest to the federal government.
In the years after his initial appearance, Lazar largely returned to private life. He eventually opened a business called United Nuclear Scientific, a scientific supplies and equipment store based in New Mexico, and then Michigan (earlier this month, the company announced it’s moving to Oregon). From radioactive ore to ammonium nitrate, a quick check of Lazar’s scientific supply company’s website reveals the business caters towards the exotic and potentially dangerous side of science. A whimsically Strangelovian GIF on the site’s home page says, “Looking for some URANIUM? CLICK HERE.”
But now, 30 years after initially talking about Area 51, Lazar and United Nuclear Scientific have become part of a new and unusual situation that conspiracy theorists claim is tied to element 115. (It’s worth noting that Lazar’s element 115 is not muscovium, an element that was first synthesized in 2003 and added to the Periodic Table in 2015.)
Right in the middle of the production of a documentary about Lazar’s life, United Nuclear Scientific was raided by the FBI and local police. Lazar and his followers have found this to be very suspicious, and have theorized that the FBI was attempting to recover samples of element 115 that Lazar took from Area 51. Conspiracy theorists suggest that Lazar was under government surveillance, and that this is the latest in a decades-long harassment campaign against Lazar by the feds.
What actually happened on that raid, uncovered in documents obtained by Motherboard using public information requests, doesn’t seem to have anything to do with element 115, but the real story is almost as bizarre.

While Lazar was seemingly content spending decades as a small business owner, the police raid wasn’t the only thing that brought Lazar back into the limelight. In late 2018, he was the subject of a documentary made by filmmaker Jeremy Kenyon Locklear Corbell called Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers.
A self-proclaimed protege of George Knapp, Corbell said it took considerable convincing on his part to get Lazar to return to the public eye. Corbell, who also stars in the film, has made a name for himself in the paranormal genre, previously releasing the documentaries Hunt for the Skinwalker and Patient Seventeen. Under the title “Sensei,” he has also sold instructional videos for an “MMA style that involves sport, street, and art” that Corbel calls “Quantum Jujitsu.”
Though Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers is largely a contemporary retelling of Lazar’s original story, the police raid on United Nuclear Scientific is central to the film.
In the beginning moments of the documentary, viewers find Corbell huddled in a neon-lit bathroom, fretfully pouring over a series of text messages saying Lazar is currently being raided by the “feds.” In an ensuing scene, Knapp, a co-producer of the film says, “I had a feeling something like this might happen.” The climax of the film lays out what they think the raid is really about: An attempt to recover the supposed alien energy source, element 115.
No evidence of the existence of Lazar’s element 115 has ever surfaced. However, according to Lazar, this alien artifact is a highly radioactive element that allows alien spacecraft to traverse the cosmos, impervious to gravity’s effects. Lazar has said for years that he worked on the material at Area 51, and that it can be used to power spacecraft.
"It's a superheavy element," Lazar once told Larry King. "It's a unique element. When it's exposed to radiation, it produces its own gravitational field—its own antigravitational field, and it's what's used to lift and propel the craft."
Conspiracy theorists and Lazar himself have suggested that Lazar stole a piece of Element-115 from Area 51, and that he has it to this day. The only presently known form of Moscovium has a half-life of 0.65 seconds and would thus have decayed very quickly. Nevertheless, the thinking is that the government wants it back, which is why law enforcement raided Lazar’s business.
Since Corbell’s documentary was released late last year, Lazar’s supporters have become more militant about the accusation that the FBI improperly raided United Nuclear to recover element 115. Even the Daily Beast asked, “Why did the FBI raid the home of the biggest alien truther?”

According to months worth of incident reports obtained by Motherboard, the 2016 raid on United Nuclear was part of an ongoing and extensive murder investigation that includes state, local, and federal authorities. The documents make no mention of element 115.
According to reports written by Michigan State Police Sergeant Detective Thomas Rajala, the events leading up to the search of United Nuclear began in late 2015 with the mysterious death of 31-year-old Janel Struzl. Rajala says doctors concluded Struzl was poisoned and died of "thallium toxicity." Colorless, odorless, and tasteless, thallium sulfate has been described as "the poisoner's poison" due to the substance's high toxicity and difficulty to detect.
Thallium is most often used in the manufacture of electronics, as well as in glass manufacturing and the pharmaceutical industry. When isolated, it looks like tin. Thallium is a regular topic of conversation among elements collectors, who try to obtain samples of as many elements in the periodic table as possible.
According to the Michigan State Police reports and United Nuclear Scientific's website, Lazar's company sells thallium, and the police search was intended to learn more about who he'd sold the material to. Lazar is not specifically listed as a suspect in the murder in the police documents.
IMAGE FROM THE POLICE REPORT.
According to the report, Lazar said sometime in March 2017 a woman provided him with her deceased brother’s “element collection,” which Lazar agreed to sell through his website. According to the report and Lazar, thallium was indeed one of the elements in this collection. “Thallium is something we never carried before and was just recently donated to us by the family of an element collector that died—so we now had a collection of some unusual materials we’ve never had before,” Lazar said in an interview.
Because the case is still an active investigation, some names and details are redacted from reports. MSP reports suggest that police believe one of their suspects may have purchased materials used in Sturzl’s murder from Lazar. The documents note that investigators obtained search warrants for a suspect's Google, Yahoo, and Bing search results, and seized computers and other data from a suspect. Shortly after obtaining information about those internet searches, investigators decided they wanted to question Lazar.
The MSP report indicates that local and state police traveled to several areas in Michigan to conduct interviews. During this same time frame it’s noted, “efforts will be made to contact/interview Bob Lazar (United Nuclear) in person regarding any Thallium sales; specifically, to [an unnamed individual]." Rajala goes on to say in his report that a police officer “had recently discovered United Nuclear advertises Thallium (for sale) on its website.”
A SCREENSHOT OF UNITED NUCLEAR'S HOME PAGE
A check of the business's website shows, indeed, United Nuclear sells custom made "safety sealed" epoxy disk of thallium. According to the site's description, the thallium discs United Nuclear offers "do not require any sort of special handling or storage, and they can be discarded with normal trash if no longer needed."
A local police report released to me in April by the Laingsburg, Michigan Police Department first hinted there might be more to the story than an unsubstantiated theft of an unproven alien element. This first report was sparse on details, but noted “this investigation started in Houghton, MI in regard to a homicide investigation.” In May, Corbell told British outlet Express, “we believe that the ‘official’ intent of the raid was a cover story—and that they were looking for a piece of the fuel source for the extraterrestrial craft Lazar once worked on for the United States government at Area 51.”
Lazar and Corbell have publicly said Lazar's company was raided as part of a sustained surveillance campaign against a man who's been called a "reluctant UFO messiah." In the documentary, Lazar and Corbell discreetly discuss the possibility of Lazar having taken a piece of the mysterious element. The police search of United Nuclear came the very next morning after this cloak and dagger discussion, according to Lazar and Corbell. In an interview with Larry King, Corbell and Lazar claimed during the search that "FBI agents were able to repeat back verbatim" a portion of their previous day's private conversation. At the annual UFO festival in McMinnville, Oregon, Lazar told a crowd that the FBI had played an audio recording of he and Corbell's element 115 discussion." According to the MSP reports, police had already obtained search warrants a day prior to Corbell and Lazar’s conversation.
When I spoke with Lazar, he told me he didn’t believe everyone involved in the raid was aware of his work on alien spacecraft or element 115. However, Lazar was explicit in saying at least two mysterious individuals at the raid were absolutely concerned with his past, and knew of he and Corbell’s conversation.
“They asked to go upstairs with me and commented on the location of the 115 and Jeremy,” said Lazar in an interview.
Lazar and his supporters have been steadfast in saying it was the FBI who spearheaded the search of United Nuclear. Indeed, the MSP reports confirm the FBI was present and involved with the search. But according to Sgt. Rajala’s notes, the FBI had been involved with the case since January of 2016, when it was determined Michigan State Police forensic lab was “not equipped to handle examinations related to thallium.” It was the chief of the local police department who asked the FBI’s Marquette Field Office for assistance with the search of Lazar’s business.
In addition to having a search warrant for United Nuclear for “records related to thallium sales,” police had also secured warrants to search Lazar’s residence. When I told Lazar this, he said he was previously unaware they had a warrant to search his home. No search was ever done at his home, however.
“They absolutely knew 100% of the business was at the commercial address in Laingsburg, why would there be a raid planned for my home also?” Lazar asked.
When I spoke with Lazar, he said “people in the raid indicated they were looking for some information related to a thallium purchase years ago.” The MSP report said Lazar cooperated: Lazar, “immediately stated he understood and would cooperate/provide any information requested.”
The MSP report says Lazar provided officers with 15 pages of documents, including receipts for all thallium sales, copies of emails between him and an unnamed person, and all records of past orders placed by a separate unnamed individual. In his closing remarks, Rajala says, “as a result of the information obtained from Lazar, and his cooperation, the search warrants were not served.” (This means that Lazar cooperated with the search, not that his business wasn’t searched at all.)
Both Lazar and Corbell maintain that the search had nothing to do with a thallium poisoning, and insist that this is merely a cover story. The FBI was interested in element 115, they say.
“None of the agents [or] offices were the least bit interested in the thallium,” Lazar said.
Lazar says that two law enforcement officials questioned him on element 115 and a conversation he had with Corbell. “Did these two initiate the raid, or were they just ride-alongs with an existing raid? That I don’t know. But it was clear they knew much more than the rest of the crew downstairs,” Lazar said.
Lazar said officials seemed to be primarily concerned with gaining access to United Nuclear’s computers. “They indicated they had ‘computer experts’ there who wanted access to all the computers, which I freely gave them.”
Corbell told Motherboard that the raid was actually related to the element: "If what Lazar has been telling us for 30 years is true, then a cover-story to distract from the actual intent of the raid is plausible," said Corbell.
Lazar and Corbell’s statements are contradicted, however, by someone claiming to be an employee of United Nuclear who posted on Reddit the day after the raid. That person, under the pseudonym “PseudoSmarts,” said that “before the rumor mill gets out of control we wanted to set the record straight” in a thread titled “Bob Lazar’s business, United Nuclear, was just raided by the FBI.”
“We had a customer a few years ago that murdered his wife. FBI, local law enforcement came with a warrant to get our records on him. We provided them the documents and all the info we had on him,” they wrote.
IMAGE: PSEUDOSMARTS/REDDIT
To verify the authenticity of their claim, “Pseduosmarts” included a link to an Imgur photo showing Bob Lazar standing in United Nuclear while holding a sign that read, “Hello Reddit, 7/20/17.” When asked about the Reddit post, Lazar declined to comment.
Because it’s part of an ongoing investigation, a spokesperson for Michigan State Police declined to comment on the search. Houghton Police Chief John Donnelly confirmed his department is the primary agency responsible for the investigation of Janel Sturzl’s death, however, he declined to comment further Donnelly did however acknowledge he was previously unaware of who Bob Lazar was. In follow-up email, Donnelly said that, under the advice of Houghton’s city attorney, he was unable to provide any comments to what Lazar told me occurred during the search.
Chief Dan DeKorte of the Laingsburg Police Department—who assisted and was present during the search of United Nuclear—said based on the information he was provided, “the search was related to a homicide investigation,” and he had “no information on Bob, his film, or Area 51.”
"Maybe if I run into some one day and find myself in a larger and more well-equipped facility that will come to fruition"
Oddly enough, this isn’t the first time Bob Lazar and the sale of deadly toxins have come up. In 2006, several news outlets accused Lazar of “peddling poison” after he was found to be selling the same radioactive poison used to kill former KGB spy Alexander Litvinenko. Located in Albuquerque, N.M. at the time, United Nuclear Scientific’s website assured customers they would “run no risk of being tipped off to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,” Newsweekreported.
And 2017 wasn’t the first time Lazar and United Nuclear have been raided by law enforcement. In 2003, after he unwittingly sold federal agents banned chemicals used in the manufacture of illegal fireworks, Lazar’s home was raided by the Consumer Product and Safety Commission. Lazar told me that, during that raid, he’d “heard some members of the SWAT team say ‘this is total bullshit—it’s nothing like they told us in the briefing.'” According to federal court records, in 2006 Lazar pleaded guilty to violating the Federal Hazardous Substances Act and was sentenced to a $7,500 fine and three years federal probation.
To date, there’s never been any tangible evidence proving Lazar ever set foot inside Area 51, much less worked on alien spaceships or obtained any mysterious elements.
For some ufologists, Lazar is a black eye on a field they desperately hope to see achieve mainstream legitimacy. Others see him as a truth teller. Either way, he is one of ufology’s biggest names and celebrities.
On United Nuclear Scientific’s website, along with five-gallon buckets of Aerogel, customers can buy prints of Lazar’s sketches of flying saucers or custom element 115 “Lazarium” coffee mugs.
When asked, Lazar, told me he wouldn’t directly comment on whether or not he has a piece of element 115.
“After 30 years, I'm a bit tired of constantly defending myself and have no intention to continue it.” Finally, when pushed on whether he might one-day reveal a sample of element 115, thereby proving his claims beyond reproach, Lazar told me, “if I had some, would I reveal it to confirm my accounts? Absolutely not.”
He then suggested that maybe one day he would try to make it from scratch: “I can think of something much better to do with it that would go much further in supporting my story. Maybe if I run into some one day and find myself in a larger and more well-equipped facility that will come to fruition.”
FBI doet inval bij insider om ‘buitenaardse brandstof’ in beslag te nemen. Deze zaak wordt steeds vreemder
Motherboard heeft de hand weten te leggen op documenten die laten zien waarom de FBI een inval deed bij Area 51-insider Bob Lazar.
Hij claimt dat hij op de geheime basis onderzoek moest doen naar een buitenaards materiaal genaamd ‘element 115’, dat werd gebruikt om een buitenaards ruimteschip aan te drijven.
Volgens hem is het zeer radioactief en kunnen buitenaardse ruimteschepen het gebruiken om door de kosmos te reizen.
Moordonderzoek
Lazar liet meerdere keren doorschemeren dat hij een stuk element 115 van Area 51 mee naar huis had genomen, en dat de overheid er zeer geïnteresseerd in was.
Het gaat hier overigens niet om moscovium, een element dat in 2003 werd gemaakt en in 2015 werd toegevoegd aan het periodiek systeem.
Tijdens opnames voor een documentaire over het leven van Lazar, ‘Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers’ werd er een inval bij hem gedaan door de FBI en de politie.
In de vrijgegeven documenten valt te lezen dat de inval te maken zou hebben gehad met een uitgebreid moordonderzoek.
Dekmantel
Het draait allemaal om de mysterieuze dood van de 31-jarige Janel Struzl in 2015.
Volgens doktoren was Struzl vergiftigd met thallium.
Lazar kwam in beeld omdat hij thallium verkoopt. De politie vermoedt dat de dader het van hem heeft gekocht.
In mei zei Jeremy Corbell, de maker van de documentaire, tegen de media dat dit verhaal een dekmantel was en dat de overheid op zoek was naar de brandstof uit Area 51.
Mysterieuze individuen
Lazar zei dat de FBI na de inval een geluidsopname had afgespeeld van een gesprek tussen Lazar en Corbell over element 115.
Hij zei dat twee mysterieuze individuen die aanwezig waren bij de inval vragen stelden over 115.
“De agenten waren in het geheel niet geïnteresseerd in de thallium,” zei Lazar.
Mysterieuze 115 kilometer (!) lange muur ontdekt in Iran. Archeologen staan voor raadsel
Archeologen zijn in Iran op de resten van een stenen muur gestuit die ongeveer net zo lang is als de beroemde Muur van Adrianus (foto), die door de Romeinen in Engeland is gebouwd.
De muur, die ongeveer 115 kilometer lang is, is ontdekt in Sarpol-e Zahab in het westen van Iran.
De onderzoekers schatten dat er meer dan een miljoen kubieke meter steen is gebruikt voor de bouw van de muur.
Gips
Het bouwwerk strekt zich uit van de Bamu-bergen in het noorden tot een gebied bij Zhaw Marg in het zuiden, schreef professor Sajjad Alibaigi van de Razi-universiteit in Iran in het blad Antiquity.
De archeologen vermoeden dat de muur ergens tussen de vierde eeuw voor Christus en de zesde eeuw na Christus is gebouwd.
De muur is gemaakt van keien en rotsblokken. Ze werden op elkaar gemetseld met behulp van gips.
Gawri-muur
De onderzoekers waren niet op de hoogte van het bestaan van de muur, die door lokale bewoners ook wel ‘Gawri-muur’ wordt genoemd.
Archeologen hebben geen idee door wie de drie meter hoge muur is gebouwd, en met welk doel.
De Gawri-muur is niet de enige lange muur die in Iran is gevonden. Eerder troffen archeologen soortgelijke bouwwerken aan in het noorden en noordoosten van het land.
Could your blood group be a clue to your planet of origin?

More than one scientist has, over the years, wondered why humans are so different to any other animals on Earth.
Now one man thinks he has the answer.
Dr Ellis Silver has developed an extraordinary theory that explains some of the scientific oddities about mankind.
We are not, he says, native to this planet.
In fact, he claims, we were transplanted between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago from another star system – very likely Alpha Centauri.
He suggests, for example, that we might be so prone to suffering from back pain because our bodies evolved on a planet with lower gravity.
Dr Silver is not the only person that believes Earth was visited by aliens in prehistory
And he points out a number of other ways in which we are not well-adapted to our current environment – including intolerance of numerous common foods and even an inability to cope with strong sunlight.
Dr Silver thinks he knows why we ended up so far from home too.
He said: “One reason for this is that the Earth might be a prison planet since we seem to be a naturally violent species and we’re here until we learn to behave ourselves.”
He first got his idea that humans might be immigrants to this planet when he became dazzled by the Sun.
“I was walking along the street,” he says in his book Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence, "and was hit full in the face by the Sun’s powerful glare.
He says that when he found some shade and was able to see again, he was struck by the presence of birds everywhere: “They weren’t shielding their eyes with their wings. They weren’t in pain, as I had been.They weren’t blindly crashing into buildings and trees. They weren’t diving for shelter.”
Dr Silver points out that birds have an extra third eyelid that prevents a lot of unnecessary light getting through.
Our one-time rivals on this planet, the Neanderthals, had a prominent brow ridge that kept the bright sun out of their eyes.
But humans, he says, have nothing. Just the vestigial remains of a lost third eyelid that for some reason evolution decided we didn’t need.
'Gray' aliens seem to use contact lenses to cope with bright sunlight(Image: Getty Images/Collection Mix: Sub)
And we didn’t need it, Silver says, because we didn’t evolve here.
He goes on to list all the situations where being dazzled by the sun can be dangerous, even fatal, and notes that in supposed autopsies of ‘Gray’ aliens, the space travellers have a removable non-blinking dark membrane over their eyes.
He says that our unsuitability for living on Earth is responsible for millions of niggling health problems worldwide: “If you can find a single person who is 100% and healthy and not suffering from some perhaps hidden or unstated condition or disorder I would be extremely surprised – I have not been able to find anyone."
Robert Sepehr is convinced that humans are a hybrid of Neanderthals and some alien race(Image: Atlantean Gardens)
Dr Silver’s somewhat offbeat theory is endorsed by anthropologist Robert Sepehr.
Sepehr’s book Species with Amnesia: Our Forbidden History, touches on a number of other unique traits of humanity, such as Rh-negative blood.
It reads: “There are 612 primate species and subspecies recognised by the International Union for Conversation of Nature, and not one has Rh-negative blood” he says.
He adds that roughly 85% of all human beings have Rh-positive blood yet, he says, all members of royal families have Rh-negative blood.
Sepher believe that we are just the latest of a number of civilisations that have occupied the Earth.
In every case, he claims, those civilisations have been struck by some global calamity and died out with just a select few holding on to the secret knowledge of the previous societies.

Starr claims that people originally from the Basque region, on the borders of France and Spain, are more likely to have Rh-negative blood than people from anywhere else on Earth.
She goes on to say that the original Basque language is unrelated to any others and theorises that it could be the original language spoken by space travellers before they began hybridise themselves with the Neanderthals and other early hominids.
The connection may not be purely historical. Starr notes that people who report having been abducted by aliens are especially likely to have Rh-negative blood.
So, not only did the aliens send us here, there are signs that they want us back.
We hadden het niet nodig omdat we hier niet zijn geëvolueerd. Deze wetenschapper vindt bewijs dat mensen niet van de aarde afkomstig zijn
Veel mensen met Rh-negatief bloed voelen zich niet thuis op aarde. Eén wetenschapper denkt te weten waarom.
We horen namelijk letterlijk niet thuis op deze planeet, stelt dr. Ellis Silver.
Hij claimt dat we tussen 60.000 en 200.000 jaar geleden vanuit een ander zonnestelsel, hoogstwaarschijnlijk Alpha Centauri, hier naartoe zijn gebracht.
Rugpijn
Silver suggereert dat veel mensen bijvoorbeeld snel last krijgen van rugpijn omdat ons lichaam is geëvolueerd op een planeet met een lagere zwaartekracht.
Ook het feit dat we sommige soorten voedsel niet kunnen verdragen en niet tegen fel zonlicht kunnen, zijn volgens hem tekenen dat we hier niet vandaan komen.
Dr. Silver denkt ook te weten waarom wij zo ver van huis zijn.
Gevangenisplaneet
“Eén reden hiervoor is dat de aarde mogelijk een gevangenisplaneet is,” zei hij.
“We lijken van nature een gewelddadige soort te zijn en moeten hier blijven totdat we ons leren gedragen,” vervolgde hij.
Silver wees erop dat bepaalde diersoorten, zoals vogels, een extra ooglid hebben dat ervoor zorgt dat ze niet worden verblind door de zon.
Niet nodig
De wenkbrauwbrug van Neanderthalers zorgde ervoor dat zij geen last hadden van de felle zon.
Maar mensen hebben niets, behalve de plek waar ooit een derde ooglid zat, dat we op een gegeven moment kennelijk niet meer nodig hadden, aldus Silver.
“We hadden het niet nodig omdat we hier niet zijn geëvolueerd,” benadrukte hij.
China houdt mysterieuze Witte Piramide verborgen voor het Westen. Het raadsel van de Chinese piramides
Op zo’n 100 kilometer van Xi’an bevindt zich een oude stad met honderd piramidevormige heuvels die al duizenden jaren in mysterie zijn gehuld.
In 2000 maakten Chinese functionarissen bekend dat ten noorden van Xi’an zo’n 400 piramides konden worden gevonden.
Ze doen erg denken aan de Mesoamerikaanse piramides; ze hebben een platte bovenkant en zijn bedekt met vegetatie.
Overgroeid
De meeste piramides zijn uitzonderlijk moeilijk te vinden omdat ze zijn overgroeid met bomen en struiken.
De Chinese overheid laat nauwelijks toeristen toe omdat ze ‘de bouwwerken kunnen beschadigen’.
Functionarissen zeggen te wachten op nieuwe technologische ontwikkelingen zodat ze de piramides en hun inhoud op een veilige manier kunnen onderzoeken.
Sommige van de piramides zouden meer dan 8000 jaar oud zijn.
Windstreken
De zijvlakken van veel van de piramides zijn nauwkeurig op de vier windstreken gericht.
Uit computersimulaties zou verder zijn gebleken dat de piramides zijn gebouwd volgens het patroon van het sterrenbeeld Tweelingen.
Op zo’n 100 kilometer ten zuidwesten van Xi’an staat daarnaast de Grote Witte Piramide. De hoogte van deze piramide is nooit vastgesteld. Volgens schattingen is hij twee keer zo hoog als de piramide van Cheops.
Zeer oud
Hoeveel piramides er in totaal zijn in China is onbekend. Het gebied waar ze staan is afgesloten, aangezien de overheid het heeft uitgekozen voor haar ruimteprogramma.
De Duitse schrijver en onderzoeker Hartwig Hausdorf schreef over een ontmoeting tussen twee Australische handelaren en een boeddhistische monnik in 1912.
Die vertelde de handelaren dat er al over de piramides werd gesproken in een manuscript van ruim 5000 jaar oud, waarin wordt gesteld dat de bouwwerken toen al ‘zeer oud’ waren.
DE PLANEET IS NET ZO ONRUSTIG ALS HAAR BEWONERS ( VIDEO )
Als je kijkt naar alle onlusten en opstanden wereldwijd, dan lijkt het alsof de totale bevolking onrustig en nerveus is.
Opmerkelijk is dat eigenlijk hetzelfde geldt voor de aarde zelf, want ook daar komt geen einde aan de heftige aardveranderingen.
Je vraagt ja af waar mainstream journalisten hun tijd aan besteden. Niet aan onderzoek of het schrijven van de waarheid, zoveel is zeker. Want, als ze dat wel zouden doen en ze zouden echt dingen onderzoeken en publiceren, dan ineens zou het complete wereldbeeld veranderen.
Dan zouden ze merken dat aardbevingen routinematig naar beneden toe worden bijgesteld, een beetje op dezelfde manier als de KNMI die hittegolven wegpoetst alsof ze nooit bestaan hebben.
Voor de kusten van de noordwestelijke Molukken is gewaarschuwd voor het gevaar van een vloedgolf na een aardbeving met een kracht van 7,4, diep onder de zeebodem.
Nog geen uur later, wordt deze aardbeving door de Amerikaasne USGS "gecorrigeerd" naar 7.1 op de schaal van Richter. Dit is eigenlijk een soort standaardprocedure geworden, waarover uiteraard alleen wordt bericht in een selectief deel van de alternatieve media, waardoor het grotere publiek dit niet weet.
Wanneer je consequent aardbevingen naar beneden toe "corrigeert", dan zal aan het eind van het jaar blijken dat het best wel meevalt met aardbevingen in de statistieken. Want, niemand weet meer wat de originele waardes waren, tenzij iemand dat nauwgezet bijhoudt.
En die mensen zijn er gelukkig, waardoor we toch in staat zijn om een werkelijk beeld te krijgen en iedereen zich moet afvragen waarom die aardbevingen naar beneden toe worden bijgesteld. Waarom mag de bevolking niet weten dat aardbevingen veel vaker voor komen dan nog niet zo lang geleden en over het algemeen ook veel heftiger worden.
Aardbevingen en vooral het sterk toegenomen aantal aardbevingen past natuurlijk totaal niet in het sprookje van de door de mens veroorzaakte wereldwijde opwarming.
Als we kijken naar de werkelijke aantallen aardbevingen die niet zijn verstrekt door de autoriteiten, maar die nauwgezet zijn bijgehouden door mensen die de waarheid willen weten, dan schrik je.
In juli van dit jaar vonden er 32,724 aardbevingen plaats. Als we kijken naar bijvoorbeeld het complete jaar 2012, dan tellen we 19.403 aardbevingen, aanzienlijk minder dan in de maand juli van dit jaar. (klik op het plaatje voor een grotere afbeelding).
Echter, hadden we in heel 2012 een totaal van 19.403 aardbevingen, dan springt dat aantal in het jaar daarop opeens naar 89.565. Een fenomenale stijging die ogenschijnlijk door niets of niemand verklaard kan worden. Of ook niet verklaard hoeft te worden, omdat zodanig met cijfers wordt gegoocheld, dat "het allemaal wel meevalt".
Na december 2012 begint de enorme stijging van het aantal aardbevingen en december 2012 was ook de maand waarop de wereld in spanning zat, want als het niet het einde van de wereld zou zijn zoals wij die kennen, dan zou er op zijn minst toch iets opmerkelijks gebeuren. Er gebeurde echter "niets" en het volgende is wat de Wikipedia erover zegt
Het 2012-fenomeen verwijst naar het verschijnsel dat in veel populaire esoterische en pseudowetenschappelijke theorieën het jaar 2012 een grote rol speelde. Veel van zulke theorieën gingen ervan uit dat er in 2012 een grote verandering zou plaatsvinden in het bewustzijn van de mensheid of juist in de natuurlijke toestand van het universum. Sommigen meenden dat in 2012 het einde van de wereld zou komen. Het fenomeen vond zijn oorsprong in de lange telling van de Maya's, die volgens sommige interpretaties grote waarde toekent aan 21 of 23 december 2012.
Je zou ook kunnen stellen dat de Maya's precies wisten wanneer het mini zonnestelsel Nemesis met daarin de planeet Niburu zich weer dusdanig dicht in de buurt van de aarde zou bevinden dat wij dat hier echt zouden gaan merken. En als je kijkt naar de enorme stijging van het aantal aardbevingen, direct na december 2012, dan is dat een heel logische gedachte.
De planeet Nibiru die in 1983 al door NASA werd ontdekt, hetgeen reden was voor een persconferentie en de melding dat het enige dat ze nog moesten doen, was deze planeet een naam geven.
Waar in 2016 het accent lag op het ontdekken van "een onbekende planeet", zo lag dat in 2017 op het "ontdekken" dat onze zon wel degelijk een tweelingbroer of -zus heeft, ook iets dat altijd systematisch naar het rijk der fabelen werd verwezen:
Misschien dat er niet alleen aan de hemel een extra lichtpuntje wordt ontdekt door veel mensen, maar hopelijk ook dat er bij hen eindelijk een lichtje gaat branden over hoe ze systematisch zijn voorgelogen en bedonderd de afgelopen veertig jaar.
Er wordt nu via de mainstream wetenschap met een hoop bombarie iets bekendgemaakt wat voor ons oud nieuws is, heel oud nieuws.
Bovenstaande is afkomstig van een website waar ze denken het allemaal te weten, Scientas, waar ze verder schrijven:
Maar hoe kan het dan dat onze zon alleen is? Simpel. Ook onze zon was ooit een dubbelster, maar is van zijn broertje gescheiden. “Wij stellen dat er inderdaad lang geleden een Nemesis (zie kader, red.) geweest moet zijn,” vertelt onderzoeker Steven Stahler.
Dan weten ze verder te vertellen dat astronomen meer dan 40 jaar geleden met het idee kwamen dat er een Nemesis zou bestaan, maar dat die nooit is gevonden. We praten dan volgens Scientas over de periode van ergens midden jaren zeventig.
In werkelijkheid is er al veel langer bekend dat onze zon een donkere tweelingster heeft. Dit nieuws werd al in 1940 bekendgemaakt door de Chileense astronoom Muñoz Ferrada zoals wij al schreven in een artikel van jaren geleden:
Het was het jaar na de beruchte aardbeving in Chili, 1940, dat Ferrada voor het eerst sprak over wat hij toen noemde “een komeet-planeet”. Volgens Ferrada was het een gigantische planeet die echter de ecliptische omloopbaan van een komeet volgt, vandaar de naam cometa-planeta op zijn Spaans. Wat heel bijzonder is, Ferrada zegt dat het een planeet met een staart is.
Deze planeet draait om een verre “zwarte zon”, wat een soort zusterplaneet van onze zon is en die zich op een afstand van 32 miljard kilometer bevindt.
Volgens de Scientas fabeltjeskrant kwamen zo’n veertig jaar geleden astronomen met het idee dat er een Nemesis zou moeten bestaan, maar dat die nooit werd gevonden.
Dat is een keiharde leugen.
Die astronomen kwamen niet zomaar met "het idee" van deze donkere ster met bijbehorende planeten. Deze werd in 1983 door de infrarood telescoop IRAS van NASA ontdekt, zoals te zien is in het volgende deel uit een artikel van januari vorig jaar:
De wereld heeft meestal een kort en vaak ook een nogal selectief geheugen. Zo kan het gebeuren dat alles en iedereen afgelopen week in staat van opwinding verkeerde vanwege de ontdekking of liever gezegd de berekening van een nieuwe planeet in ons zonnestelsel.
In 1983 verscheen het volgende artikel in The Washington Post:
Een deel van de veranderende weersomstandigheden op aarde kan worden toegeschreven aan een sterk verminderde activiteit van de zon. Maar, wat dit ook niet kan verklaren is de spectaculaire toename van aardbevingen en vooral ook vuurbollen in de lucht. Iets dat ook wel weer verklaard kan worden door de komst van een mini zonnestelsel.
En een door de mens veroorzaakt klimaatveranderingssprookje komt uiteraard al helemaal niet in het plaatje voor, dus de enige vraag die openstaat is: hebben wij hier op aarde te maken met en een sterk verminderende zonneactiviteit die de heftige aardveranderingen veroorzaakt of de komst van een mini zonnestelsel, of beide?
Hoe dan ook, de aarde is net zo onrustig als de mensheid, zoals blijkt uit het volgende overzicht van de maand oktober.
