Researchers from Cornell University in the U.S. and Spain’s Centro de Astrobiología have found a diverse ecosystem of microbes living in wet clay layers beneath the arid Atacama Desert in Chile. Could life be found in similar clay layers on Mars?

Mars is dry, dusty and desolate (albeit with some stunning scenery). The extremely arid landscape shares many similarities with deserts on Earth, and scientists have been studying these Earthly desert regions for years, to try to find clues to possible microbial life on Mars, either now or in the past.

Now, researchers at Cornell University and Spain’s Centro de Astrobiología have announced new findings that could have implications for subsurface microbial life on the red planet. The scientists have found microorganisms thriving in the clay-rich, shallow soil layers in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The finding suggests that microbes, either living or fossils, could be found in similar clay layers on Mars.

The intriguing peer-reviewed results were published in Scientific Reports on November 5, 2020.

From the new paper:

Here we report a layer enriched in smectites located just 30 cm [11.8 inches] below the surface of the hyperarid core of the Atacama. We discovered the clay-rich layer to be wet (a phenomenon never observed before in this region), keeping a high and constant relative humidity of 78% (aw [water activity] 0.780), and completely isolated from the changing and extremely dry subaerial conditions characteristic of the Atacama. The smectite-rich layer is inhabited by at least 30 halophilic (salt-loving) species of metabolically active bacteria and archaea, unveiling a previously unreported habitat for microbial life under the surface of the driest place on Earth. The discovery of a diverse microbial community in smectite-rich subsurface layers in the hyperarid core of the Atacama, and the collection of biosignatures we have identified within the clays, suggest that similar shallow clay deposits on Mars may contain biosignatures easily reachable by current rovers and landers.

The surface of the soil in Atacama is extremely dry, but there is a layer of wet clay about a foot below, the researchers said. That clay is a home for microbes, protected from the harsher conditions above.

Corresponding author Alberto G. Fairén said in a statement:

The clays are inhabited by microorganisms. Our discovery suggests that something similar may have occurred billions of years ago – or it still may be occurring – on Mars. If microbes still exist today, the latest possible Martian life still may be resting there.

The researchers found at least 30 previously unknown salt-loving microbial species of metabolically active bacteria and archaea (single-cell organisms). That’s pretty significant, given how arid conditions are on the surface.

If any microbes, or their remains, do exist in such shallow clay layers on Mars as well, they could be easily found by future rovers or human crewed missions. That is an exciting possibility. The conditions on Mars’ surface today are drier and colder than those in Atacama, but we do know that clays are abundant in many areas. As well as being detected by orbiting spacecraft, rovers such as Spirit and Opportunity (MER) and Curiosity have found them also, although they were not equipped to find microbes or any other kind of life. Curiosity has found various organic molecules preserved in ancient mudstones, however, which could provide important clues about possible past life.

The discovery can help scientists decide what are the best places on Mars to search for evidence of past microscopic life, using the new paper as a guide. Fairén said:

This paper helps guide the search, to inform where we should look and which instruments to use on a search for life.

Gale Crater, where Curiosity landed, also has sediments and clays from a previous large lake. What the rover has found so far is tantalizing, but since it can’t detect signs of life directly, we still don’t know if there actually were any microbes calling that lake home. But two new rovers will be able to search for possible biosignatures: NASA’s Perseverance rover landing in February 2021, and the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Rosalind Franklin rover, which will land in 2023. Both rovers will examine clay layers, similar to those in Atacama, just below the surface.

As Fairén noted, clays are one of the best and most likely places to search for evidence of Martian life:

That’s why clays are important. They preserve organic compounds and biomarkers extremely well and they are abundant on Mars.

The discovery of such a vibrant ecosystem of microbial life in one of the most inhospitable places on Earth is exciting, and provides important clues about how and where to search for life on Mars. Do Martian clays also contain evidence of past or even present life? That is still an unanswered question, but we won’t know until we look!

At some point, Frances was staring out the window into the murk beyond and noticed that there seemed to be a light out over the bush that was keeping pace with them. She told her husband and he saw it too, although what it was they could not determine. It was definitely not another car, and this became more apparent as it closed the distance and continued following them. As they wondered what the strange object could be, the car headlights suddenly began to fade, their light withering to leave the road ahead gloomy and illuminated solely by that mysterious light. The radio still worked, as did the interior lights, yet the headlights would not come back on, leaving the road ahead very indistinct. The couple then realized that it was absolutely freezing in the car, their breath casting plumes of mist in the cold, and as Peter tinkered with the headlight switch some more he was shocked to suddenly become aware that they were careening through the murky night at a speed of over 90 miles an hour.

Peter then pumped the brakes, but nothing happened, and the steering wheel also would not respond. It was as if the car was no longer under his control, which was quite frightening considering the dangerous speeds they were barreling along on a winding road without headlights. As all this was happening, that anomalous light continued to tail them with inscrutable intent. It was only as they approached the town of Port Victoria that Peter regained control of the car, and the frightened couple pulled into a service station. They noted that it was now 4:30 AM in the morning, filled their car with gas, and continued their journey into the weird.

As they drove along this road on a route they had taken many times before, they noticed that something wasn’t quite right. The road from Fort Victoria to Beit Bridge was normally quite curved and winding, but they noticed that not only was it now completely straight, but the landscape itself seemed to have changed. Rather than the usual scrubland there was in its place an expanse of high grasses and swampland that was completely unfamiliar to them. It was all odd enough that at first they thought they must be lost, but then they noticed that they were approaching the South African border and that the landscape had one again become what they were used to. Even odder than this was that although the whole episode had seemed to take less than half an hour, nearly 2 hours had passed, with neither of them having any recollection of this missing time. Even weirder still was that the instrument panel told them that they still had a full tank of gas, and when they finally got to the border they were surprised to find that their car had four brand new tires on it. How had this happened?

In an effort to find answers, Peter would undergo hypnotic regression to try and unearth any buried memories of that missing time. It would turn out to be even weirder than he had expected. According to him, during the missing time a humanoid entity very similar to the one he had fleetingly seen on the side of the road had suddenly materialized in the back seat of their car, after which a beam of light had washed over them and the entire vehicle began to rise into the air. They would apparently fly up into a large UFO, and Peter was subsequently ushered off to what he called a “sickbay,” where he saw his wife and several other people in some sort of suspended animation. The aliens then gave him a medical examination and brought him to a hangar, where he saw his car parked between two flying saucers, with the hood up and four aliens tuning up the engine and fitting it with new tires. That was pretty nice of them! It would turn out that Peter’s wife would never be able to remember what had happened to her or why she had been in that frozen, dazed state aboard that ship.

This completely outlandish story was originally published in John Spencer’s book “World Atlas of UFOs,” and it is hard to know what to think of it all. There is very little that can be found to corroborate this oddball tale and much of it is so weird and orbited with questions that it is difficult to know where to even start. Why did they lose control of their car on that lonely road? What was that light that was following them? Even more pressing is what was that strange landscape they were in and why was the normally twisting road straight at that time? Why would these aliens want to abduct them, and more importantly why did they tune the car up, give it new tires, and presumably an oil change while they were at it? Who knows? Whatever you may think of this strange series of events, it is all certainly odd, and one can do worse than to find mysterious alien abductors willing to carry out auto maintenance and new tires.

It was around 11:00 p.m. on September 26, 1994, when a small, twin-tailed aircraft crash-landed onto the lengthy runway at Boscombe Down; it is situated in the English county of Wiltshire and only 6.2 miles from none other than Stonehenge. At around the time of the incident, a number of aviation enthusiasts were listening in on air-band radios and were aware that something untoward had taken place. The following day, several of those same enthusiasts drove to the installation – which is near to the A303 road and not at all far from the famous Stonehenge – and were apprehended by local police who had set up road-blocks to keep away prying eyes. Before being ushered away, however, a number of people succeeded in catching sight of a disabled aircraft. It was situated at the end of the runway and, aside from its twin-tail fins, was completely covered over by tarpaulins. Air Force Monthly magazine was soon on the trail of the truth. In the November 1994 issue of the magazine, investigative writers noted that in the wake of the crash both a Boeing 757 and a C-5 Galaxy arrived at Boscombe Down. The story continued that the secret plane was loaded aboard the Galaxy and flown to “Air Force plant 42 at Palmdale, California.” Air Force Monthly suggested that the aircraft “…was a TR-3A, the existence of which the U.S. Government has yet to officially acknowledge.” The subsonic, stealth TR-3A – also referred to as the Black Manta – remains an enigma, since its existence has never been officially confirmed. Now, let’s take a look at the connection between Stonehenge and the Men in Black.

Only hours after briefly seeing a cigar-shaped UFO hovering near Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England on December 25, 1985, Sandra Green – who was driving home, in the early hours, after a late night Christmas Eve party in the English city of Bath – had a bizarre dream. In it, three Men in Black warned Sandra to keep her nose out of UFOs. They were – as they usually are – cadaverous “slightly dead”-looking MIB. As for the warning, it was one of those “or else”-type threats that the MIB are so skilled at making. The dream was so graphic it led Sandra to believe that the MIB had the ability to literally get inside her dreams, manipulate those very same dreams, and issue a bone-chilling warning – one which she has still not forgotten. Sandra shared the story with me on the evening of September 9, 2014 – the facts of the affair still firmly fixed in her mind and her memory after close to thirty years. And, I have to say, it wasn’t just the facts that were fixed in Sandra’s mind: it was cold fear, too. Even across a transatlantic telephone call I could sense that all was not well. I messaged Sandra a few days later, in an effort to clarify a couple of things she mentioned to me. She did not reply. She still hasn’t. A sign of something? I hoped not.

Just twenty-four miles from Stonehenge is another enticing location filled with ancient, standing stones: the village of Avebury. It was at Avebury, one night in the early 1960s, that something very weird happened – and, for the person, terrifying. The witness to this particularly weird case was a middle-aged lady who had lived in the small village of Avebury, England all of her adult life and who was fascinated by archaeological history. She would often stroll among Avebury’s famous stones at night, marveling at their creation and musing upon their history. It was on the night in question that she had been out walking at around 10:30 p.m. when she was both startled and amazed to see a small ball of light, perhaps two-feet in diameter, gliding slowly through the stones – a definitive UFO. Transfixed and rooted to the spot, she watched as it closed in on her at a height of about twelve feet. The ball then stopped fifteen feet or so from her, and small amounts of what looked like liquid metal slowly and silently dripped from it to the ground. Then, in an instant, the ball exploded in a bright, white flash. For a moment she was blinded by its intensity and instinctively fell to her knees. When her eyes cleared, however, she was faced with a horrific sight. The ball of light had gone, but on the ground in front of her was what she could only describe as a monstrous, writhing worm. The woman did not wait to see what might have happened next.

Now, let’s leave the Earth behind and head off to Mars, so to speak. September 24, 2015, was the date when the United Kingdom’s Express newspaper splashed a feature titled: “Has Stonehenge been found on Mars? Ancient ‘alien’ stone circle discovered on Red Planet.” It’s hardly surprising the story caught the attention of many people. “Mr. Enigma,” the person who revealed the mystery at his YouTube channel, said that what could be seen in one of NASA’s very own photos was “…a perfectly circular platform with a strange cluster of stones emerging from it.” He added: “I know the formation is not an exact match, nor am I saying it is, indeed, a Stonehenge set up. I am just saying there is something strange about this area and it looks very much like the mysterious ancient stone circle of Stonehenge. Could the builders of Stonehenge have visited Mars and did they build the same thing there? Or did we have visitors who taught us how to build these things and do the same for long-lost beings on Mars as well? Or is this just another face on Mars illusion?”

It was in the late-1970s when the FBI released into the public domain its UFO files. And, it was thanks to the provisions of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act. Around 1,700 pages of documentation were made freely available. Today, all of those documents (and, now, more) can be accessed at the Bureau’s website, The Vault. Here’s the specific link. Contained within those files is one document that has largely been ignored or overlooked. Maybe, even, forgotten. It’s important, though, and dates from the latter part of 1957. Its title: “Reports of Flying Disks Foreign Miscellaneous.” It was prepared by a Legal Attaché at Havana, Cuba. And, almost inevitably, it wasn’t long before the story reached the media of Cuba. The FBI recorded the following: “The Havana daily newspaper ‘Diario de la Marina,’ November 12, 1957, carried a dispatch datelined November 11, 1957, at Pinar del Rio, Cuba, reporting that two witnesses who had just arrived in that town from the Matahambre Mines in Pinar del Rio Province, claimed that they had seen a flying disc in the shape of a man’s hat hovering over the general area of Matahmbre for several minutes. They claimed that this disc was larger than ordinary airplanes normally seen in that area and that it was completely silent in its flight. They said that it disappeared at a very high speed toward the sea. There was no further descriptive information furnished in this newspaper article. It is noted that Matahambre is located 90 miles west of Havana.”

Of course, as anyone with a knowledge of the UFO phenomenon will know, Flying Saucers were all over the place in the 1950s. This case is slightly different, however. A copy of the document was forwarded onto none other than the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). As for the reason, it was because some CIA analysts were concerned that what had been seen was not a UFO but a U-2 spy-plane of the CIA, whose pilot was taking photos of Cuba. It was in 1955 – specifically in July of that year – that the legendary U-2 spy-plane flew at the Nevada Test and Training Range at Area 51’s huge runway at Groom Lake, thus cementing the range’s undeniable role in aviation history.

Richard M. Bissell, Jr., was a Central Intelligence Agency officer who, from 1961 to 1962, held down the job of the first co-director of the super-secret National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), which operates much of the United States’ satellite-based surveillance technology. Back in the early 1950s, and before his NRO career began in earnest, Bissell astutely realized that there was a deeply pressing need to keep careful watch on what the Soviets were doing, specifically in terms of constructing new military bases, atomic facilities, and aircraft that might pose distinct, serious threats to the security of the United States. So, a top secret plan was initiated to develop a fleet of aircraft – reconnaissance planes designed to fly very fast and extremely high – that could secretly spy on the Soviets, by penetrating their airspace and securing high-resolution photography of whatever it was that the Reds were up to. The aircraft was the aforementioned Lockheed U-2 and the operation was code-named Project Aquatone.

So, what does this have to do with UFOs? Well, let’s see. We have to turn our attention to a CIA paper written by Gerald Haines and titled “CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90.” When, in 1997, Haines’ report became public, the media took a great deal of interest in its contents. For example, the U.K.’s Independent newspaper ran an article with the title of “US hid spy plane projects behind UFO hysteria.” In part, it stated: “Mr Haines, a historian at the National Reconnaissance Office, based his article on a review of CIA documents from the late 1940s to 1990. He described how the air force sought to deflect attention from development of its high-altitude experimental aircraft, the U-2 and SR-71. Early U-2s were silver and reflected the sun’s rays and often appeared as fiery objects to people below, Mr Haines said. They were later painted black. Air force investigators, ‘aware of the secret U-2 flights, tried to explain away such sightings by linking them to natural phenomena such as ice crystals and temperature inversions.’ By 1956 the air force internally had clear explanations for 96 per cent of UFO sightings, Mr Haines wrote, referring to the experimental aircraft. ‘They were careful, however, not to reveal the true cause of the sighting to the public.'”

SR-71

Not only did the report state that 96 per cent  of UFO sightings had been solved; it also stated that a significant number of incidents could be applied to sightings of spy-planes, such as the U-2. When the report was released, some Ufologists scoffed. It has to be said, though, we know for sure that the CIA was informed of the UFO sighting over Cuba in 1957. Not only that: in the Project Aquatone files there is a brief reference to the newspaper story I mentioned in the first paragraph of this article. That would suggest the CIA really did, at times, use the UFO subject as a means to camouflage the activities of its high-flying spy-planes.

Watching this video and at first we see a passenger jet going the opposite direction, but this object would have passed within 100 meters of that jet. There seems to be an airport nearby, but this object has no wings, no tail no fins or propulsion of any kind. Very strange, and I would bet this object showed up on radar, but because its the location of an airport, it was ignored, because they were too busy.

Hubble sees the brightest kilonova yet

Artist’s concept of short gamma-ray burst 200522A, the result of what scientists have confirmed to be the brightest kilonova ever recorded, at 10 times brighter than the next closest observed event.

A team of scientists said earlier this month (November 12, 2020) that they’ve observed the most luminous kilonova candidate yet discovered. Kilo means a thousand, and a kilonova bears its name for its dramatic peak brightness, which might be 1,000 times greater than an ordinary classical nova (but only a fraction as bright as a supernova). This one was associated with a short gamma ray burst – labeled GRB 200522A – seen on May 22, 2020. Observations by the Hubble Space Telescope, made in the days after the discovery, showed that the radiation from this distant cosmological event didn’t fit the profile scientists had come to expect from typical kilonovae. It shone as much as 10 times brighter most kilonovae in the near-infrared, as viewed from Hubble three days after the first observations.

Gamma rays bursts are believed to be caused when two neutron stars merge in a violent explosion, and the radiation from hot elements created in the explosion creates what is seen from Earth as a kilonova.

According to the paper, to be published in The Astrophysical Journal and currently available at arXiv, the infrared light associated with GRB 200522A is:

… significantly more luminous than any kilonova candidate for which comparable observations exist.

Led by Wen-fai Fong of Northwestern University, the team combined observations from Hubble, the Very Large Array, the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope and the W.M. Keck Observatory. However, Fong said:

Hubble really sealed the deal in the sense that it was the only one to detect infrared light. Amazingly, Hubble was able to take an image only three days after the burst. Hubble’s spectacular resolution was also key in quantifying the amount of light coming from the merger.

Edo Berger, professor of astronomy at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, explained:

The Hubble observations were designed to search for infrared emission that results from the creation of heavy elements – like gold, platinum, and uranium – during a neutron star collision. Surprisingly, we found much brighter infrared emission than we ever expected, suggesting that there was additional energy input from a magnetar [a neutron star with a super strong magnetic field] that was the remnant of the merger.

Artist’s concept of sequence of events in the formation of a magnetar, a massive, highly magnetized neutron star. On May 22, 2020, scientists observed what may be the formation of one of these unusual stellar objects. Scientists believe that two neutron stars collided, resulting in a colossal explosion, leaving behind the magnetar as a remnant.

Image via CfA/ NASA/ ESA/ D. Player (STScI).

Why do scientists find GRB 200522A different from other potential kilonovae? Fong said:

Given what we know about the radio and X-rays from this blast, it just doesn’t match up. The infrared emission that we’re finding with Hubble is way too bright. In terms of trying to fit the puzzle pieces of this gamma-ray burst together, one puzzle piece is not fitting correctly.

Several possibilities exist. Berger stated:

What is left behind in such a collision? A more massive neutron star? A black hole? The fact that we see this infrared emission, and that it is so bright, shows that short gamma-ray bursts indeed form from neutron star collisions, but surprisingly the aftermath of the collision may not be a black hole, but rather likely a magnetar.

A magnetar is part of the neutron star family: an ultra-dense star with a magnetic field stronger than Earth’s by a trillion times. Magnetars are short-lived (by cosmic standards) – perhaps 10,000 years – and are the probable source of fast radio bursts (FRBs). Follow-up observations in radio a few years down the line will be able to confirm whether it is indeed a magnetar behind this unexpectedly bright observation.

Bottom line: Hubble Space Telescope observations of a possible kilonova explosion associated with a gamma-ray burst revealed unexpectedly high levels of infrared light. Scientists speculate that the radiation comes from a magnetar – a highly magnetized neutron star – formed by the merger of two neutron stars.

Secrets of the Vatican: manuscript reveals that human beings possess supernatural powers

The church and the Vatican keep many secrets from the world, but there is a manuscript that could be the most important of all: the “Divine Matrix”, the writings where it is revealed that the human being has supernatural power.

Max Planck , considered the father of quantum theory , made clear his thinking about the universe and how it was constituted.

In 1944, he declared that there was “a place” where everything was formed from the same pure energy.

This theory would be confirmed years later by Gregg Braden , a researcher who participated in different studies related to these theories in the 90s, and who discovered that, indeed, the Divine Matrix that Planck referred to existed .

What is the Divine Matrix

The Matrix Counts and the theory that the entire universe is a single energy.

Credit: Pxhere.com

In short, it could be said that it is a kind of energy network in which the entire universe connects. An example of how it works would be our own brain and how it creates a “network” of information about our body.

For Planck, everything that exists is connected in this network, so, at the quantum level, there is nothing physical ; everything is energy, vibration, so each thing in the universe would have an effect on another.

The human being is part of said energetic universe, so it is composed of energy vibrations that are constantly emanated and the proof of this would be quantum physics itself .

The power of the human being

Different experiments related to the Divine Matrix showed that the DNA of human beings can be modified in relation to the frequency that feelings and emotions generate .

That means that every human would have the power and would be able to change the structures of the universe through their own emotions.

Studies also showed that the strongest emotions in this regard are those related to love . The vibrations emanating from it are so powerful that they directly impact the environment in such a powerful way that it transforms our DNA and that of our closest environment .

That means that the human being has a much greater power within himself than we have ever thought.

The Vatican cover-up

The Bible , in many of its passages, talks about a “power” that the human being has. However, the church and the Vatican have never made mention of it. In fact, they have taken it upon themselves to hide this information to make people solely dependent on their faith to it.

But all this has begun to change since 1946 , with the discovery of the ” Codex of Isaiah ” and other texts that were found in the Qnram caves on the Dead Sea.

These manuscripts written by the prophet Isaiah about 2000 years ago speak about a kind of quantum science, just as modern science began to understand it only decades ago.

Current quantum physics suggests the existence of infinite possibilities of different futures for each “change” that our life undergoes unconsciously and how these futures are kept “at rest”, waiting to be activated by our decisions.

The Codex of Isaiah makes mention of this, and explains it in a simple and clear way . For this reason, many experts, such as Braden himself, suggest the existence of an ancient technology that disappeared along with other manuscripts, just as it happened with this codex.

The rebirth of power

The power described in the Isaiah codex is returning to the people.

Since the recent discovery of these archives, humanity is witnessing information about a technology that has been hidden from it for millennia .

However, it is Braden himself who explains to us that this technology is much simpler than we think and that, in fact, we already know it under the name of “prayer.”

When correctly applied, prayer, together with human imagination itself, could give us the ability to do extraordinary things .

The problem is that, currently, people live anchored to an external faith, many based on religions created in this New Age that promulgate a message of total dependence, making people leave their destinies in their hands.

But these ancient documents reveal how human beings are capable of consciously choosing their own destiny and explain how we ourselves have the key to create our reality.

Among the methods stands out a model of lost prayer , the way in which, through quantum science, we can heal our body . It also mentions eternal peace and avoiding climatic catastrophes that human beings should suffer in short periods of time.

A different concept of God

Gregg Braden, during his investigations, discovered something that is still under discussion due to the controversial nature of his message .

He suggests that the current concept of “God” is wrong . Rather, the manuscripts refer to God as a pure love, power, and energy that does not die or disappear.

In short, God would be the energy found in the universe , in everything that makes it up, and since we are also part of that energy, we are made in his “image and likeness.”

Although more studies and research on the subject are lacking, these manuscripts could explain many things that appear in the Bible and that not even the Church itself has been able to answer. Is it possible that human beings have the power to change their own destiny? “Do well and you will be well”, perhaps, it is possible …

European Vega rocket suffers major launch failure, satellites for Spain and France lost

It turns out that the first fast radio burst (FRB) ever found in the Milky Way is not a one-off.

 By Becky Ferreira

This means that the energetic object in our galactic backyard may produce rare “repeater” bursts that could have a “similar physical nature to the sources of (repeating) extragalactic FRBs,” according to a study published on Monday in Nature Astronomy. In other words, it might help us explain what produces these mysterious repeating signals, which can sometimes come in patterns. 

“We were very surprised to see such bright bursts and, of course, extremely excited too,” said Kirsten in an email. “Until our discovery nobody knew if this magnetar could generate bursts in between the really bright one detected earlier and the very faint one detected by FAST in China.” 

Taken together, the full quartet of known bursts from the magnetar have a luminosity range that spans at least seven orders of magnitude, meaning that the most radiant burst is about 10 million times brighter than the dimmest one.   

“This is remarkable and raises the question if one or several physical processes generate the different bursts,” Kirsten noted.

Since the first FRB was detected in 2007, scientists have tried to explain the origins of these bright, millisecond-long signals. This quest has been complicated by the fact that FRBs seemed to only show up in faraway galaxies, sometimes billions of light years from the Milky Way. 

The large distances to FRBs “have made it hard to study their broadband emission mechanism and local environments,” Kirsten and his colleagues said in the study. “This limits the avenues to differentiate between competing models.” 

“The localization of very nearby (tens of megaparsecs) FRBs could help, as would the discovery of an FRB source, at kiloparsec distances, in the Milky Way,” they added.

This help finally arrived on April 28, when an extremely bright burst from inside the Milky Way was independently detected by the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) and the Survey for Transient Astronomical Radio Emission 2 (STARE2). The FRB emanated from SGR 1935+2154, which is categorized as a magnetar due to its intense magnetic field.

Like many astronomers around the world, Kirsten and his colleagues quickly arranged for follow-up observations of the magnetar. The researchers eventually racked up hundreds of hours of observation time between the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in the Netherlands, the Onsala Space Observatory in Sweden, and a radio telescope at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland.

The team’s efforts paid off on May 24, when the Westerbork observatory captured two rapid bursts from the magnetar, which erupted 1.4 seconds apart. The bursts were roughly 10,000 times fainter than the April event seen by CHIME and STARE2, though they were 1,000 times brighter than the FAST detection on May 3.

“We observed the star for so very long and then we got two bursts in very close succession,” Kirsten said. “This implies that bursts happen in a clustered fashion, i.e. whenever a burst occurs chances are high that you get another one very close in time.”

EXPERTS URGE NASA TO RETURN MARS SAMPLES TO EARTH

For decades people have been fascinated by the Crop Circle phenomenon. There is, however, something equally as fascinating as the formations. It’s the weird things that have been seen inside them. I’ll begin with a relatively simple Crop Circle creation that was found, in the summer of 2006, adjacent to an old structure in central England: Chartley Castle. The BritainIrelandCastles.com website state of this particular construction: “Chartley Castle is located north of the village of Stowe-by-Chartley in Staffordshire (between Stafford and Uttoxeter). The motte and bailey castle is in ruins, but substantial remains stand including an unusual cylindrical keep, a curtain wall flanked by two D-shaped towers, a twin-towered gatehouse and an angled tower. The motte and bailey castle was built by one of the early Earls of Chester around 1100. It was rebuilt in 1220 by Ranulph de Blondeville, 4th Earl of Chester, and a curtain wall was added. It passed by marriage to William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby and remained in the Ferrers family until 1453, when it passed to Walter Devereux through his wife, Elizabeth Ferrers. Walter was killed at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The castle was then abandoned as a residence and Chartley Manor was built nearby.”

I was over in the U.K. at the time and had the opportunity to see the formation – and to get a few photos, too. Intriguing, however, is the fact that contained within the Crop Circle were a number of peacock feathers. They had been carefully placed in the center. Someone I spoke to claimed to know the answer to the riddle. Jane Adams is a devotee of Wicca and someone who I first met in a Wiltshire Crop Circle back in August 1997. She has an intriguing theory to account for the presence of those very out of place feathers. Jane is of the opinion that the presence of the feathers at Chartley Castle is evidence that “certain, dangerous people” (as she worded it) were guilty of creating the Circle and also of placing the feathers within it. She adds that the mysterious group use the peacock’s “Evil Eye” in what she describes as “black ceremonies.” In the photo below, you can see me holding one of the feathers. Several other people had stopped their cars and took photos of the Circle, too. Like me, they took with them a memento: a feather, of course.

Now, let’s move onto the controversial issue of “Alien Big Cats” in the U.K. In the summer of 2007, I spoke with Marcus Matthews, a researcher of mysterious big-cats in the U.K., who told me that he was then currently investigating a case involving a person who had seen a “huge black cat” sitting inside the confines of a Wiltshire Crop Circle. So, how do we define and explain such rogue reports as these? The answer, admittedly, and right now, is that we can’t. All I can say is this: if you ever find yourself deep in the heart of a huge Crop Circle, then keep a careful watch. There may be something dangerous keeping its eyes on you, getting ready to pounce. Still on the subject of strange creatures, check out the following: Circle-maker Matthew Williams is a veritable fountain of knowledge as it relates to tales of weird creatures that have been seen in, or at least in the direct vicinity of, complex Crop Circle formations. One such case is truly strange. Matthew advised me that the story in question concerned a man who had felt curiously compelled to drive late at night to a certain field in Wiltshire many years ago.

On doing so, the man parked his car and duly, and carefully, began his walk into the depths of the crop. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large, black, human-like figure appeared in the air over the field. “It reminded me a little bit of the Mothman sightings when I heard this story,” said Matthew, not without a high degree of justification. Matthew continued that the source of the story could only stand and stare in awe, while suddenly gaining the distinct impression that the hovering entity was the source of at least some of the Crop Circle formations that were appearing in Wiltshire. At that precise moment, a simple Crop Circle suddenly appeared on the ground immediately below the black figure – after which the creature vanished from the skies and the man was left utterly alone in the field, and with no real option other than to make his shocked way back to his vehicle and drive home, baffled and bewildered by both the weird, aerial entity and what it was that had directed him to the field.

Now, what about strange balls of light (also known as orbs)? Numerous such things have been seen flying (and hovering) over Crop Circles. Amazingly, several were seen back in the 1990s in a formation that Crop Circle maker Matthew Williams had himself made.  Matt told me: “There was one time, I’d rather not say when or where exactly, as I could get into trouble for admitting I trespassed on the farmer’s land and made the Crop Circle formation. Plus, I had a friend named Paul helping me with this one. We were making this circle when we noticed these three bright lights – small balls of lights coming towards the field. We watched them; we were fascinated. But they split up and each of them went to a corner of the field – and which only left one corner for us to leave by without getting too close to these things. That was a bit unsettling. We didn’t know what these balls were; so we raced out of the open corner of the field. We looked back as we ran and could see the balls heading towards us: gliding very gracefully just above the top of the crop. It was like they were on a railway track, just moving very smoothly, but it left us sort of disturbed too: like they were almost ghostly and alive.” Maybe they were.

And, we’ll close with what has become known as “the Mowing Devil.” Mercurius Politicus say of this strange affair: “The Mowing-Devil is a quarto pamphlet printed in 1678. It tells the story of a farmer whose field of oats was destroyed by the devil, after the farmer rejected the price asked by a mower and said that the devil could mow it instead. The pamphlet is often prayed in aid by crop circle enthusiasts as an example of crop circles being a pre-modern phenomenon. The Wikipedia article on the pamphlet puts this forward as a possibility, as do a number of crop circle websites. One, Swirled News, has carried out lengthy research into the provenance of the pamphlet, examining a copy in the British Library and discovering that there are a number of subtly different modern recreations of the woodcut illustration. At a quick glance it certainly does bear a resemblance to a crop circle – it looks like there are concentric rings of crops being pressed down by the devil.”

In light of all the above – and should you, one day, find yourself in a Crop Circle – it might be wise to not just admire the creation, but to have a good look at what might be inside it. You may be surprised.

A new study has revealed that at the end of the Triassic Period, there was a “lost” mass extinction and a rain storm that lasted more than a million years. These events happened around 233 million years ago when there was one supercontinent named Pangaea.

The long-lasting rain storm has been named the Carnian Pluvial Episode (or CPE) and a huge mass extinction occurred during that time that killed off one-third of marine species in addition to large amounts of land animals and plants that died as a result of climate change caused by volcanic eruptions in Wrangellia in what is now the western coast of Canada.

In fact, studies have suggested that at least 5,000 gigatons of carbon was released into Earth’s atmosphere during the eruptions that triggered the climate change. There would have been a lot more humidity as well as huge rain storms. The oceans then turned acidic which killed off countless marine species.

A volcanic eruption in Wrangellia triggered climate change.

Even though the CPE caused major extinctions, there was a silver lining as the researchers described this period as being a “turnover” that ultimately helped the dinosaurs dominate the land and aided with the evolution of numerous animals – some of which are still around today.

Jacopo Dal Corso, who is a geology professor at the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan and the lead author of the study, explained this further in an interview with Eos.org, “A key feature of the CPE is that extinction was very rapidly followed by a big radiation [of new species],”adding, “A number of groups that have a central role in today’s ecosystems appeared or diversified for the first time in the Carnian [an age within the Triassic that lasted from 237 to 227 million years ago].”

Coral reefs and plankton are part of these groups in addition to several species like lizards, frogs, turtles, crocodilians, and certain dinosaurs that prospered for the following 150 million years. And conifer trees appeared for the first time during the CPE.

The Carnian Pluvial Episode paved the way for dinosaurs.

Mike Benton, who is a professor of vertebrate paleontology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom and a co-author of the study, stated that part of the research focused on how significant the CPE was in comparison to other mass extinctions that occurred in Earth’s history. “It appears not as substantial as the “big five”, but not far off, and with proper analysis in future it might turn out to be of similar magnitude,” he explained. “The end-Permian extinction wiped out 95% of all marine species, and the Triassic was a time of recovery.” “It now seems the CPE was a key punctuation [in that process].”

The study was published in the journal Science Advances where it can be read in full.

The Honorable Paul Hellyer Paul Hellyer, Canada’s senior Privy Councillor, has dedicated his entire life to banking reform. Paul Theodore Hellyer is a Canadian engineer, politician, writer, and commentator. He is the longest serving current member of the Privy Council of Canada, just ahead of Prince Philip.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_He… must we be liberated from? The 300-year old curse of a banking system that allows private individuals to create money as debt. We the people own the patent to create money, it is part of our sovereign heritage.

But instead of our government creating some of it, to meet our essential needs, kings, queens, presidents and prime ministers have given that right to a few private individuals who have robbed us of our heritage and made us slaves to debt!Paul Hellyer, Canada’s senior Privy Councillor, has dedicated his entire life to banking reform. The coronapandemic that has created a “bloody economic mess” due to our debt money system, inspired Hellyer to write one last book proclaiming the time has come to end the curse and free the slaves.

His case is compelling!But the book is not just about money. Paul reminds us of Operation Paperclip and the German Nazi scientists and engineers who were brought to the U.S. following World War II, and who soon seized effective control of the American military–industrial establishment. Under an umbrella of extreme secrecy they have built the most powerful military force in recorded history. This includes a space force and incredible weaponry that could facilitate world domination.

Fire In The Sky Alien Face Found In Area 51, 100% Proof Of Alien Occupation! Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Nov 16, 2020
Location of discovery: Area 51
Google Coordinates: 

 

Hey guys, I was searching on Google map the area around Area 51. Then I ended up between Area 51 and Nellis AFB firing range. Thats the general area that Charles Hall said he worked with the Tall Whites who were allotted an area of land. The land is all off limits to the public, and I think I found out why. I found two faces and one of the faces is the exact same species as the one from the real life abduction case Fire In The Sky. The alien face look the same, yet is much older with wrinkles and is wearing a symbolic hat with jewel or third eye on it. This is a highly scientific species and they fear nothing because they do live forever. They are short of patience and long on time and knowledge. Aliens make these faces near their bases...its a cultural ritual to pay respects to the fallen and to make those other species out there know of their greatness. As I said before, when you find the face, you find the base.

Alien tech at works - A giant UFO has been spotted leaving the sun at an incredible speed. In recent weeks many UFOs have been observed around the sun. 

The remarkable image captured by the SOHO Lasco C2 camera on November 16, 2020, shows the UFO which is many times bigger than Earth, leaving the Sun. 

The plasma trail behind the UFO is many thousands of kilometers long 

Given the enormous speed of the alien craft when it leaves the Sun, we may wonder whether the UFO is equipped with a warp drive and may travel at speeds greater then that of light by many orders of magnitude?

Daytime UFO activity filmed over Roxburgh Park, Australia 9-Nov-2020

Filmed over Roxburgh Park, Australia on 9th November 2020.

Witness report: 

Star like objects in Pleadians stars cluster style. 7 starlike objects with one 8th one flashing constantly in intervals where flying north to south. After 9th object join but from certain distance. Look like Pleadians (sorry about spelling)star cluster. Some of non flashing objects slightly change direction, not to much but like stars would in milestones ( to compare).

Than when first appearance past , 10th flashing object appears (last video). Interesting thing was that that night i wake up to go to bathroom, and i always in this occasion, open sliding door and look at the sky.

Well that night my vision was: all night sky was covered in Flower of life patterns, that never occurred to me before, i never drink alcohol or using any substance that it may trigger hallucinations. Second night same pattern but very faint. No photo of that as I turn off phone at night. Very interesting experience. Kind regards. Gordana P.S. i film till they all gone to my vision

This day in UFO history: Japanese Airline UFO Experience in 1986

A routine flight ended not exactly what was expected. It was Japan Airlines 747 cargo flight, carrying a load of French wine to Tokyo from Paris.

The flight crew was composed of seasoned Captain Kenju Terauchi, co-pilot TakanoriTamefuji, and Yoshio Tsukuba, flight engineer. The flight plan carried flight 1628 from Paris to Tokyo.

The first leg of the trip was on November 16, 1986 from Paris to Reykjavik, Iceland then continued flying over Greenland the next day and then across northern Canada.

Just moments after they crossed into Alaska at around 5:09 p.m. local time, Anchorage Air Traffic Control instructed the flight for their path. They were at 35,000 feet and moving at a speed of around 600 mph.

Captain Terauchi noticed the lights at around 5:11 PM local time about 200 feet below in which he thought at that time an American jet fighter from nearby air force bases, patrolling the airspace of Alaska. However, few minutes later, he noticed that the lights were at the same pace as with his own aircraft, which he found unusual for patrolling jets.

They were paying attention to the lights for about seven minutes when all of a sudden two spaceships came to their front shooting off lights. The lights shined the inside cockpit brightly and the captain felt warm in his face.

Terauchi suspected that the two objects were the lights he noticed below them that suddenly jumped in front of him. The two objects keep on moving in unison with a strange rocking motion while keeping pace with the 747 for several minutes.

The two mysterious aerial objects then changed to a side-by-side arrangement after around seven minutes.

Terauchi said the lights were amber and whitish that appeared like flames coming out of several rocket exhaust ports. Co-pilot Tamefuji described the lights as assorted Christmas lights with a salmon color.

Flight engineer Tsukuba did not get a good view of the lights, but he emphasized that the lights in front of them were different from town lights.

Capt.Terauchi asked Tskububa to give him a camera to take a picture of the lights, but failed to do so because of his unfamiliarity of the camera and he experienced problem with the auto-focus. The objects then flew off to the left and disappeared without a trace.

Onlookers were left stunned by the changing lights spotted across an 80-mile radius over Texas, with some convinced of an alien visit

By Laura Sharman & Michael Havis

Mesmerising footage shows a series of glowing lights hovering above Texas sparking fears of a possible UFO.

The mysterious lights were spotted changing formation in the night sky over three separate counties across an 80-mile radius.

Stargazers in and around Dallas chimed in with sightings after footage of the bizarre presence over Duncanville, in the south of the city, was shared online.

A flurry of witnesses came forward to claim sightings from multiple sites, with some convinced the lights were caused by visiting aliens.

Retail manager Javier Estrada III, who filmed the footage, said: "What I saw mesmerised me. I was visiting family for my grandma's birthday and happened to look up.

"I saw glowing lights hovering real slow and that's when I knew it was something out of the ordinary - not scary, just crazy to look at.

"I do believe in extraterrestrials so the first thing that came to mind was a UFO. As soon as I saw it, I was starstruck - it seemed so real.

"I wouldn't mind having aliens come to visit but knowing us in the USA we will probably attack them first."

In Javier's video, four lights are visible in the starry sky, shifting from a kite-like formation to a square one, before drifting apart and out of view.

Two more lights then come into view before the clip ends. They could have been drones.

Sightings were reported from a total eight different areas in and around the city, mainly towards the south, with many describing the lights as forming a "straight line."

Onlookers also reported the phenomenon in Allen, to the north of the city, and Granbury, to the southwest - which are separated by a distance that would take nearly two hours to drive.

And with more than 16,000 people seeing the footage, there were plenty of suggestions as to what the lights could be.

Some suggested the display was caused by drones or Chinese lanterns, but nobody ventured an explanation as to how they were spotted in places so far apart.

Others speculated satellites or weather balloons, though nobody offered any tracking data.

While others turned to aliens or conspiracy theories.

One viewer added: "It's 2020. Anything is possible."

Sightings are from MUFON CMS

Arizona Light

Gkendale – On October 31, 2020, Description: I’m including a picture of what I saw last night 10/31/2020 in Glendale, AZ. the time stamp of the photo is 7:09 PM. The photo is unedited and shows 5 strings like lights. I have tried to research answers as to what it may be and can’t find anything else that looks like it or may explain what it is. No flash was used when the picture was taken and I would really like any help or insight you may have as to what it may possibly be. Thank you for your time.

Note: I suspect that the witness did not see the lights and probably discovered them when viewing the photos. The lights could be a reflection, but I am not sure what would cause the reflection. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

California Object

Bellflower –Driving home about to take the freeway / time: 12:20
2.i first noticed the object because it was stationary and the lights on the object didn’t pulse then did in an order unlike any commercial airplane
3. I couldn’t make out an object and that is what startled me. It wasn’t till I drove further up the street did I notice it was a cigar shape
4.the object was cigar shaped and had green lights on both sides as I drove under the object the cigar shape was black and hard to make out at first
5. I felt startled at first seeing the object

Trenton – On November 12, 2020, UFO & Fireball Together the fireball stopped in mid air

Oregon Cylinder

Terrebonne –On November 9, 2020, it was bright white and large, the size and shape of a hot air balloon but with no gondola. It came from the north and went in a southeast direction. I called the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office. A Deputy called me back. She was able to look up and see it even though she was approximately 4 miles away. She had to go on a call, but looked up an hour later and she still saw it. She said there was no record of anything from the airport of any flights of weird planes.

Note: I suspect that this could be a high altitude balloon, but I don’t have specifics about it. I have had reports of high altitude balloons in the past in the Portland, OR area. A check of winds aloft shows that winds above 10 thousand feet were from the north. The witness said that the object was moving to the southeast. This is fairly consistent with an object drifting with the wind. Of course we don’t know how the height of the object. High altitude balloons can be visible for long distances as they can be very large.

SpaceX Crew Dragon launches 4 astronauts to space station in 1st operational flight for NASA

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX successfully launched its first operational space taxi flight for NASA Sunday (Nov. 15), as a shiny white Falcon 9 rocket took to the skies above Kennedy Space Center here in Florida. 

The rocket lifted off from NASA's historic Pad 39 here at 7:27 p.m. EDT (0027 GMT on Nov. 16) carrying four astronauts in a Crew Dragon capsule to orbit, and then returned to Earth for a drone-ship landing in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX's Crew-1 Dragon, called Resilience, is bound for the International Space Station (ISS), but instead of the traditional crew supplies and research experiments its cargo variant normally carries, this spacecraft carried a different type of cargo into space: three NASA astronauts, Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi.

"Well done, that was one heck of a ride," Hopkins radioed to SpaceX flight controllers from orbit, adding that his crew was all smiles. "Making history is definitely hard and you guys all made it look easy. Congratulations to everyone. Resilience is in orbit."

Going into the launch, the only concern was the weather. Rough seas at the recovery zone prevented the Dragon from getting off the ground on its original launch date of Saturday. Teams decided to delay the flight 24-hours in hopes that the drone ship "Just Read the Instructions" would arrive at the recovery zone in time for the launch. 

The gumdrop-shaped capsule's flight was one for the history books. It marked several firsts, including the first-long duration crew mission to blast off from the space coast as well as the first operational commercial crew mission to launch as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. 

With the launch of a different Crew Dragon capsule in May, known as the Demo-2 mission, NASA and SpaceX helped usher in a new era in spaceflight — one led by commercial companies. 

Nearly a decade ago, on July 21, 2011, the Space Shuttle Atlantis touched down for the final time, ending the storied career of NASA's fleet of space shuttles. The winged family of orbiters were NASA's workhorses for decades. First flying in 1981, and continuing service until 2011, the space shuttle helped build the International Space Station, which celebrated its 20th anniversary earlier this month. 

But the shuttle's time was limited, and just before its retirement NASA decided that it wanted to hand over the reigns to private industry and entrusted two companies to ferry their astronauts to and from space. 

NASA selected SpaceX and Boeing as its future space taxi providers. These two companies have worked to build a spacecraft capable of safely carrying crew, under contracts worth a total of $6.8 billion. Once operational, their vehicles — SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's CST-100 Starliner — will be NASA's primary means of transporting astronauts to space. 

Ever since the final shuttle flight touched down, every astronaut bound for the orbital outpost has hitched a ride on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Now, this flight marks the first official operational flight of the Crew Dragon capsule. During the lead up to today's flight, NASA certified the spacecraft to carry astronauts to and from the space station on a regular basis. 

The four astronauts departed from historic launch pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This is the same launch pad that the Apollo 11 astronauts launched to the moon from and also hosted the first and last space shuttles launches. In fact, a total of 82 shuttle launches left the planet from that pad. 

That heritage is also represented in the mission's patch. There are no names or flags on the patch. Instead it has symbols on the lower edge to pay tribute to the four prior U.S. spacecraft that carried astronauts ― Space Shuttle, Apollo, Gemini and Mercury.

Hours before launch. They traveled in style, riding in white Tesla Model X electric cars that were decked out in the old NASA "worm" logo that was revived for the launch. Upon arrival, they took an elevator to the crew access arm, which stands approximately 265 feet (81 meters) above the launch pad, and then climbed into the capsule. 

After a series of system checkouts, the closeout crew detected a potential leak in the spacecraft's hatch. The team spent several minutes to troubleshoot this issue before they cleared the pad. According to the webcast, there could have been a small piece of debris in the hatch's seal, which would have been removed before the crew was sealed inside. They then armed the Crew Dragon's abort system soon after. That system is a crucial component in keeping them safe. SpaceX then began fueling the rocket with supercooled liquid oxygen and kerosene 45 minutes before liftoff.

But before the crew could fly, SpaceX had to prove that its Crew Dragon capsule could keep astronauts safe during flight. One of the lessons learned from the loss of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986 was that all future crewed vehicles would need emergency escape systems, which the shuttle did not have. 

While in-flight anomalies are rare, NASA needed to ensure that, if one of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets were to have an anomaly, its astronauts would still be brought home safely. As such, SpaceX demonstrated how the system worked in flight earlier this year. 

Following that successful inflight abort mission, SpaceX launched two astronauts, Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on a test flight to the ISS. During that flight, the duo put the Dragon spacecraft through its paces and spent about 10 weeks on station before splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico on Aug. 2.

While Behnken and Hurley took about 19 hours to catch up with the space station, Crew-1 will take about 27 hours to catch up with the ISS. During that time, the astronauts will get to move around a bit, get some sleep and even eat some food before arriving at the space station. The vehicle is fully autonomous, so it's designed to fly without any human intervention. However, it has a complete control panel that the astronauts can use if necessary. 

Hopkins is the mission's commander, with Glover serving as the pilot. Walker and Noguchi will be the mission specialists. The duo were added onto the mission's roster approximately seven months ago and did their training during the height of the pandemic. 

"I've been pleasantly surprised with how SpaceX handled the training and everything," Noguchi said during a preflight news briefing. "Hopper is a great leader." 

Hopkins, Walker and Noguchi are all veteran flyers, however, this flight will be Glover's first. 

"It's hard to put into words, it's surreal," Glover said before the flight. "I'm excited just to go to space. We have an amazing spacecraft and are going to join an amazing team."

The Crew-1 astronauts will be joining three people already living and working on the space station. In Oct., NASA astronaut Kate Rubins and two Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Serchkov and Sergey Ryzhikov, blasted off to the orbital outpost and are ready to welcome their new crew members. 

Hopkins explained during a preflight briefing Nov. 9 that the space station might be a little cramped after Crew-1's arrival. Currently, there is a shortage of sleeping pods on the space station. That's because historically ISS crew size has been six, and the arrival of Crew-1 will bring the orbiting lab's population to seven. According to Hopkins, he will sleep in the Dragon until another sleeping pod arrives at the space station, which could arrive mid-mission or after the Crew-1 team returns to Earth. 

There may be a shortage of sleeping pods, but by sending a crew of four astronauts, it will increase the amount of research carried out on the space station. 

To that end, the Dragon capsule is carrying a bevy of research experiments to the station along with the four astronauts. Some of the experiments include a student genetics project, tests for future spacesuits and rock-eating microbes. 

Newbie spaceflyer Victor Glover will be participating in another research experiment that will help understand how spaceflight can change a spaceflyer's immune system. Glover will collect biological samples from his body during the mission which will help researchers examine how dietary changes can affect an astronaut's immune function as well as their own microbiome. The study, called the Food Physiology experiment will be ongoing.

About nine minutes after today's successful liftoff, the Falcon 9's first stage booster touched down on SpaceX's drone ship, "Just Read the Instructions" (JRTI), which was stationed out in the Atlantic Ocean. This marked the company's 65th landing and the 12th for this particular drone ship. 

JRTI is SpaceX newest drone ship, having recently moved to the East Coast earlier this year. Along with its counterpart, "Of Course I Still Love You", the drone ships have helped SpaceX with its reusability efforts. 

SpaceX plans to reuse the booster in today's mission on its next crewed flight, which is scheduled to launch sometime in the spring of 2021. It will carry another crew of four astronauts: NASA's Shane Kimbrough, Megan McArthur, along with French astronaut Thomas Pesquet and Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide. 

Crew-1 is expected to dock with the space station Monday Nov. 16 at 11 p.m. EST (0400 GMT on Nov. 17), and you can watch their arrival live here on Space.com. They will remain parked at the orbital outpost for six months.

China's Yutu 2 rover snaps stunning new panoramas from the moon's far side

Meanwhile, a Chinese language drive diary, published while the two spacecraft hibernated during the very cold, roughly 14-Earth-day-long lunar night, details the Yutu 2 rover's latest activities, completed during the mission's 23rd day. 

Accompanying the drive diary are a host of stunning new photographs, including a panoramic image that shows a large crater amid a desolate landscape and the distant rim of Von Kármán Crater. 

Yutu 2 was not able to approach a rock specimen identified during the previous lunar day as an interesting target. It instead analyzed a rock specimen near the large crater using its spectrometer. The rover has used that instrument to analyze a range of specimens in Von Kármán Crater, notably causing a stir when it discovered an impact-melt breccia initially described in Chinese as "gel-like." 

Other images detail the routes carefully planned by the Yutu 2 drive team as they navigate between numerous craters that could ensnare the rover as it makes its way to the northwest of the Chang'e 4 lander. The team have started using software to produce 3D mapping to help plot the rover's journey.

The China National Space Administration also released a superb high-resolution panorama taken by Yutu 2 while still close to the lander. 

The Chang'e 4 lander and Yutu 2 rover had design lifetimes of one year and three months respectively. However, the pair are still going strong with all science payloads functioning well, according to the administration. So far the spacecraft have survived 23 lunar days and nights on the far side of the moon, or more than 670 Earth days. 

China is planning to launch its next lunar mission, Chang'e 5, later this month. The mission aims to land on the near side of the moon, collect around 4.4 lbs. (2 kilograms) of rocks and regolith samples and deliver them to Earth.

NASA and Space X embark on historic mission to the International Space Station

It's a new era for space flights, with NASA making commercial deals

 by Fermin Koop

An international crew of four astronauts (three from the US and one from Japan) is now on their way to the International Space Station (ISS) following a successful launch on a SpaceX rocket.

It’s the first NASA-certified commercial human spacecraft system in history.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with a Crew Dragon capsule on top of it took off from Kennedy Space Center. The launch happened a day later than planned due to bad weather but at 7:27 p.m. local time on Sunday, November 15, it took off with four astronauts on board: Shannon Walker, Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Soichi Noguchi.

The capsule successfully separated from the second stage of the rocket and, according to a SpaceX team member speaking over the radio, is currently on the correct trajectory to reach the ISS. The crew should dock at their destination on Tuesday, joining two Russians and an American aboard the station.

It is the second manned flight for SpaceX, a private company founded by Tesla’s owner Elon Musk, which will now take NASA astronauts into space after nine years of US dependence on Russian Soyuz rockets. Vice President Mike Pence, who attended the launch, called it “a new era in human space exploration in America.”

SpaceX has signed a $3 billion contract with NASA to develop, test, and fly an astronaut taxi service. The deal also includes six “operational” (or routine) missions, this flight being the first of them. Back in May, the company performed a demonstration in which two astronauts were taken to the station and returned safely to Earth.

NASA has a similar agreement with the Boeing aerospace company, although its service is more than a year behind SpaceX. It’s a new model of contracting out transportation to low-Earth orbit, the agency said, saving money in procurement costs. NASA wants to use this model to fund its Moon and Mars ambitions.

As the rockets and capsules are developed by SpaceX and Boeing, with NASA being the customer, the companies will also use their vehicles to fly tourists, private researchers, or anyone else who can afford a $50 million ticket. This has been seen as controversial but it’s part of the way forward chosen by NASA.

“The big milestone here is that we are now moving away from development and test and into operational flights. And in fact, this operational flight was licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration. So this is a truly a commercial launch,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement.

The crew and their mission

The crew will carry out scientific experiments and maintenance operations during a six-month stay aboard the ISS and will return in spring 2021. It is scheduled to be the longest human space mission ever launched from the US. The spacecraft is capable of staying in orbit for at least 210 days, per NASA requirements.

It’s only last week that SpaceX’s Crew Dragon was officially certified as a spacecraft capable of carrying people. This opens the door for the company to begin making the trip relatively routine, carrying astronauts from a variety of backgrounds. In this mission, for instance, Walker and Noguchi have backgrounds in physics and will oversee a series of experiments.

“In the next 15 months, we should be flying roughly seven Dragon missions. And this mission represents the initiation of a Dragon in orbit continuously – knocking on wood – and certainly is really the beginning of a new era in human spaceflight,” said SpaceX’s Gwynne Shotwell in a statement.

Among their research at the ISS, the crew will assess the effects of microgravity on human health and diseases using specialized organ-on-chip platforms. These ’tissue chips’ have been hailed as an important innovation for this type of study. The astronauts will also test a new system to remove heat from NASA’s next generation spacesuit.

At the end of the mission, the astronauts will once again board the Crew Dragon capsule, which will autonomously undock, depart the space station, and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere. The capsule also will return to Earth with important and time-sensitive research, NASA said in a statement.

The devastating “nuclear war” between Lemuria and Atlantis more than 10,000 years ago (VIDEO)

The war between Lemuria and Atlantis : advanced civilizations of antiquity. The Atlanteans were manipulated by the Anunnaki.

In this hidden history of more than 10,000 years ago , which appears in books such as The Chronicles of Akakor , the lost continents of Lemuria and Atlantis sank due to a nuclear war caused by the Anunnaki themselves who had influenced the Atlanteans to rule. to other towns. This created a world catastrophe , but there were Lemurian and Atlantean survivors.

Both continents would have been found on the oceanic surface until 10,000 years ago . Lemuria would have been located in the Pacific Ocean and Atlantis in the Atlantic.

Ancient Hidden History of Atlantis and Lemuria

In The Chronicles of Akakor , Karl Brugger states that both continents were home to two races of gods, two civilizations more advanced than today . They had entered into conflict, thus developing a war with aircraft and ancient nuclear weapons . In the end, both continents sank due to this catastrophic war. Quote from Akakor’s book:

“Twilight covered the surface of the Earth. The sun was still shining, but a grayish mist, great and powerful, was beginning to obscure the daylight. Strange signs were showing in the sky… A red sun and a black path crossed each other. Black, red, the four corners of the Earth were red … The two races of gods began to dispute. They burned the world with solar heat and tried to take power from each other… The course of the rivers was altered, and the height of the mountains and the strength of the sun changed. There were continents that were flooded … “

Enigmatic Hindu tablets found by James Churchward in 1868 speak of Lemuria . He, together with the High Priest of the temple, interpreted that the tablets spoke of the disappeared land of Mu where the Naacales or Holy Brothers lived . According to the tablets, Mu sank about 12,000 years before the present era and Easter Island , along with other Polynesian islands, are remnants of Mu or Lemuria .

The book The Visitors of JJ Benítez narrates the alien abduction of scientist Daniel W. Fry on July 4, 1959. On the ship, the aliens told him that their ancestors lived in the land of Mu and that there was another civilization in Atlantis advanced. Atlantean scientists ” learned to handle atomic energy more skillfully than you currently have . ” He also mentioned an arms disaster that was imminent.

Alternative history of Atlanteans vs. Lemurians: nuclear catastrophe

Edgar Cayce , an American medium, received telepathic messages from aliens from Cassiopea. His information says that the Atlanteans lived from ancient times . They made space travel and even had bases on various planets like Mars. In addition, they possessed a mysterious technology to collect energy from the cosmos through gigantic crystals .

Different informants say that the Atlanteans were advanced and benevolent humans who fell into evil, while others propose that they came from another solar system and that they already had a genetics that predisposed them to be cold and cruel.

In the first story it is said that from 210,000 BC. C. they lived in Atlantis in peace and harmony. However, the Anunnaki reptilian aliens  began to negatively influence them , specifically the Atlantean High Priests.

These corrupted Atlanteans called themselves “Sons of Belial” and there began the conflict with Lemuria . About 25,000 years ago , these Sons of Belial began arguing with the Lemurians about how to rule the Earth. Atlantis wanted to rule all the other tribes and civilizations in the world .

The Lemurians preferred the other peoples to develop on their own, so they ordered them to leave them alone . That decision made the Atlantean Sons of Belial want to wage war on Lemuria , culminating in a plan for a nuclear-armed bombardment of Lemuria .

Earth changes and reboot of civilizations

This caused a disaster, with underground gas fields exploding . In the end, more than 60 million Lemurians perished . The survivors took refuge in Agartha and, later, attacked Atlantis .

However, the sinking of that lost continent was due more to a series of natural disasters . The Earth had become unstable as a result of the excessive nuclear explosions of the Atlanteans (because of that, the Earth’s axis shifted and the poles began to shift ).

Many Atlanteans sought refuge in Agartha and others spread throughout the world. Prehistoric structures such as stone circles (Stonehenge), dolmens and geoglyphs are said to be Atlantean work , since they knew the technology of acoustic levitation to lift heavy rocks (in addition, in caves around the world there are symbols of Atlantis: the spirals, the crescent and the serpent ).

Then, with the passing of the millennia and the Earth already stabilizing, both civilizations came to the surface, restarting in those we know today: Sumer, Egypt, India, China, etc. Más adelante regresarían los Anunnaki reptilianos y comenzaría nuestra historia que conocemos. Los reptilianos tomaron control de la Tierra de una manera encubierta.

This is an alternate story that transforms conventional history , but it does make sense because of everything we have discovered about Atlantis, Lemuria, and even the mythology of the Anunnaki , including the geological changes on Earth . It may be a true story, but the elite and secret societies keep it hidden.

Magnetars have been in the news lately with the discovery that a Milky Way magnetar — neutron stars (collapsed super-giants) with unusually powerful magnet fields – is the source of those previously unexplained fast radio bursts. Magnetars themselves are still hypothetical and astronomers have never actually seen one form. That changed recently when scientists studying a brief gamma-ray burst that appeared on May 22 determined that this bright light that was ten times brighter than expected was in reality a kilonova – a collision of two neutron stars – and this explosive merger may have been the birth of a magnetar. A drop-the-mic moment in astronomy?

In a press release prior to these findings being published in The Astrophysical Journal, ,” said Edo Berger, an astronomer at the Center for Astrophysics (Harvard & Smithsonian) and principal investigator of the Hubble program, describes watching the short gamma ray burst 200522A with the Hubble Space Telescope, Swift Observatory, and multiple ground-based telescopes. This kilonova – called that because it’s 1,000 time bright than the nova from neutron star collisions that form black holes – was too bright to fit the conventional short gamma ray burst scenario, leading Berger and his team to look for another reason for it.

“What is left behind in such a collision: a more massive neutron star? A black hole? The fact that we see this infrared emission, and that it is so bright shows that short gamma-ray bursts indeed form from neutron star collisions, but surprisingly the aftermath of the collision may not be a black hole, but rather likely a magnetar.”

Hubble telescope

Watching the formation of a magnetar is truly big news in astronomy circles, but Wen-fai Fong, an astronomer at Northwestern University in Illinois and lead author on the research, uses it as an opportunity to praise the Hubble telescope.

“Hubble really sealed the deal in the sense that it was the only one to detect infrared light. Amazingly, Hubble was able to take an image only three days after the burst. You need another observation to prove that there is a fading counterpart associated with the merger, as opposed to a static source. When Hubble looked again at 16 days and 55 days, we knew we had not only nabbed the fading source, but that we had also discovered something very unusual. Hubble’s spectacular resolution was also key in disentangling the host galaxy from the position of the burst and to quantify the amount of light coming from the merger.”

Hubble gets the prize while the rest of the telescopes get participation trophies. And the announcement has one more benefit – add The Kilonovas to Magnetar as two more cool names for bands.

The UFO field is peppered with the accounts of those who have supposedly come face to face with these alien forces from beyond our world and indeed our very comprehension. These mysterious individuals are known as “contactees” within the field, and there is no shortage of those who would claim to have experienced the UFO phenomenon up close and first hand. Some of these people have managed to go on to become quite well known for their claims and exploits, and surely one of the more well-known and indeed more outlandish accounts comes from a contactee who had a mysterious encounter out in the desert of New Mexico and would weave this into a cultish organization and into the very fabric of contactee lore.

As Fry walked along that dusty trail, he noticed in the sky what he would describe as a “strangely behaving star” that seemed to be approaching and getting closer. As it seemed to come in for a landing not far away it was very obvious that this was no star, but rather some sort of craft, described as an “oblate spheroid” measuring 10feet in diameter and about 16 feet high. He would say of what was going through his mind during the outlandish situation:

What should I do next? Should I return to the base and report the advent of the craft? This, at first, seemed the logical thing to do, but then another thought intervened. It would take at least three quarters of an hour for me to get back to the base, find someone in authority, and return with other observers. What if the craft took off in the meantime? There would be nothing but a crumpled patch of brush to substantiate my story. Who would believe me? If anyone did believe, who would dare to admit it? I had read enough of the ridicule heaped upon those who had been incautious enough to admit having seen some unexplained objects flying in the air. How much worse would be the lot of one who claimed to have seen one land and to have been close enough to touch it, yet had no proof except a flattened patch of brush!

As he stood there in awed shock wondering what to do, he says that he was contacted telepathically by an entity calling itself “Alan,” who invited him to approach and come aboard. When Fry entered the craft, he would claim that the entire floor became transparent, as if he were standing on a pane of glass, and “Alan,” who seemed to be invisible and would not reveal itself, explained some of the technical aspects of the ship and how it worked, as it began to rise and travel at vast speeds of an estimated 8,000 miles per hour. Fry would say that the ship shot out over the landscape to reach New York, after which it would fly back to New Mexico, a round trip which took an estimated 30 minutes, all as Alan explained the finer points of physics and the prehistory of Earth. At no point did Fry actually ever see Alan, and he was told that the ship was in fact remotely controlled by the being from a larger mother ship.

Fry was dropped back off where he had started, but this would not be his last encounter with the mysterious “Alan.” He would claim to be contacted several more times between the years of 1950 and 1954, and during these meetings he learned more about Alan’s people and their purpose on Earth. According to Alan, they were descendants of the original race of the lost continent of Lemuria, which the entity claimed had actually been destroyed in an ancient nuclear war and which had left them homeless and adrift. Luckily, they had mastered space travel, and so a handful of them were able to escape aboard their ships, flying out to Mars to start over. There on the Red Planet they would rebuild their society and use it as a launching pad to other star systems and planets, fashioning a sort of empire across the stars that it called “Galactic Confederation,” and according to Alan they had even mastered space and time itself.  Alan gave vague messages about how they were there to help humanity, to save us from destroying ourselves, and that they should not be afraid of their presence on Earth. Fry claimed that Alan told him:

The political tensions which now exist between your nations must be eased. If either of the two dominant nations of earth were to achieve conclusive scientific superiority over the other, under present conditions, a war of extermination would be certain to follow. We are not here to assist any nation in making war but to stimulate a degree of progress which will eliminate the reasons for war on Earth, even as we, some thousands of years ago eliminated the reasons for conflict among our own people.

Fry would write a book about the whole wild story called The White Sands Incident in 1954, and would go on to create a sort of quasi-religious organization called “Understanding Inc.” in El Monte, California in 1955, based on what he had learned from the aliens, its mission statement being “’bringing about a greater degree of understanding among all the peoples of the earth and preparing them for their eventual inevitable meetings with other races in space.” For a time, the group spread rapidly, with newsletters and numerous lectures and seminars, and they even had a sprawling compound near Tonopah, Arizona. There was a lot of talk at the time that it was a freaky UFO cult, but Fry would always deny this, saying:

The group is not mystic, and is not a flying saucer watching organization although some members hold definite beliefs and interests in both areas. Understanding Inc. which is a non-profit, tax exempt corporation, works on the principles that there is nothing that members are required to believe or accept or do.

Daniel Fry (right) along with other notable UFO contactee George Adamski

Fry became very involved with the alien contactee scene at the time, travelling around the country to attend various UFO events, and would write several other books, including Atoms, Galaxies and Understanding, To Men of Earth, Steps to the Stars, Curve of Development, Can God Fill Teeth? and Verse and Worse. However, Universal Inc. would start to dwindle in the mid-1970s, and by 1979 they were in steep decline and disappeared. In the years since, there has been much skepticism aimed at both him and his supposed UFO encounters, with a few damning strikes against him. For one, he famously failed a lie detector test about his experiences on national television, and although that is not a completely reliable condemnation, other points are. For instance, photos that he took of the supposed craft were analyzed and found to have likely been faked, and his claimed educational credentials as a “doctor” turned out to be a doctorate in “cosmism” issued by a mail-order organization called “St. Andrews College” in London, England, from which it seems pretty much anyone can buy a degree for a price. Another odd detail is that some of his story changed over time, such as the date of his first incident being moved from 1949 to 1950, and just about the only thing we can be sure of is that Fry did indeed work at White Sands as an engineer in some capacity.

We are left to wonder, as we are in a great many supposed UFO contactee situations, just how much of the story is true, and how much has been fabricated or twisted and warped over time. Is Daniel Fry for real, or is this just delusions and a hoaxer trying to get fame off of his books and movement? What really happened out there in the wilds of White Sands? There will probably never be any concrete answer, but whatever you believe, Daniel Fry and his mysterious experiences have managed to remain entrenched in UFO lore, among the many stories from people like him.

Over the past few days I’ve highlighted how a number of significant figures in the UFO field (and related fields) have changed their views on the nature of the phenomenon. You may be surprised by the sheer number of people whose beliefs have changed over the years. While I won’t bombard you with dozens of cases, I will share with you the fascinating stories of two people as perfect, and very intriguing, examples. Today’s article is focused on a good friend of mine, Matthew Williams. He’s a key figure in the Crop Circle phenomenon. Matt got involved in the subject in the early 1990s – and in doing he so his views on the subject began to alter massively. Matt told me: “In 1992, when I got involved in Crop Circle research, there were a lot of people who believed that Crop Circles could only be made by otherworldly forces. Admittedly, I didn’t know very much about Crop Circles back then; and hearing some of the arguments of ‘bent nodes’ and ‘blown expulsion cavities’ coupled with UFO sightings, made the whole subject seem extraordinary. Without researching the subject for myself, I was inclined to believe the so-called experts and their seemingly plausible theories about aliens making Crop Circles.” A change was soon coming, though, for Matt. He explains:

““Many researchers I knew believed that the Crop Circles were alien in origin and felt there was nothing to be gained in trying to police human Circle-makers, as, in the opinion of the researchers, there were very few Crop Circles created by people anyway; and the researchers I knew were sure that they could tell the difference between a man-made Crop Circle and an alien-made Crop Circle. It wasn’t until about 1994 that I decided to seek out the human Crop Circle makers. What subsequently happened could be termed the ‘other side’ of the story. By this time, I had a good idea that many Crop Circles were made by humans; but was unsure if there was a level of disinformation being spread. It was then I met [Crop Circle researcher, maker, and personality] Rob Irving and heard his immortal quote, which I still use to illustrate the simplicity of the Crop Circle argument: ‘You’ll never be sure until you actually make one.’ What I learned next was totally unexpected, as the Crop Circle makers I spoke to did not debunk the theories that paranormal events take place in Crop Circles, even if they are man-made. Indeed, there was much talk of strange lights and events happening to the Crop Circle makers while they made Crop Circles at night.”

It was at this point that Matt’s views began to change to a very significant degree: “I was given countless tales of UFO activity and even strange synchronicities which took place in the man-made Crop Circles, and which made the Crop Circle makers wonder if they were being influenced by a higher, guiding hand – perhaps at the design stage, or out in the field. I believe that the human Crop Circle makers may be guided by a connection to a higher intelligence, a gestalt or group mind; and the symbols that are put down are deep-routed subconscious expressions. This would explain why some telepaths or psychics claim to have seen Crop Circle designs before they appear – because we are all dialed into the same group-mind ‘internet.’

“The synchronistic events which happen each year in the unfolding designs that the Crop Circle makers come out with are often remarked as being too much of a coincidence. Crop Circle designs have been repeated in different parts of the country by teams who didn’t share designs beforehand. There have even been teams who have gone out on the same night to the same field, made designs, not knowing the other team was present, and their designs have had similarities. The chances of this happening, without planning, are slim; so it would appear that something paranormal is working for the Crop Circle makers. Why do Crop Circles have power? I know that crop is a living medium. Unlike any other type of canvas that an artist may use, crop has a life-force energy which, when used on such a large scale, makes crops blend natural Earth-energy magic with human-energy magic. What Crop Circle-makers may have rediscovered is the ancient art of natural magic – working with large emblems as part of the energy system of the Earth. Take sacred sites such as stone-circles: these were erected as temples for people to visit, perhaps as part of a sacred quest seeking answers. Today, Crop Circles fill a similar role, attracting people who ask questions and putting visitors closer to paranormal sources.”

There’s no doubt that Matt made an amazing, and very thought-provoking, change in his beliefs concerning Crop Circles. In doing so he went down a path that is almost certainly the correct one. Forget nuts-and-bolts UFOs and black-eyed aliens. Crop Circles are much stranger – and life-changing, too.

Two Abandoned Alien Ships 1km Long! Found On Earths Moon, Nov 15, 2020, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: Nov 15, 2020
Location of discovery: Earths moon

Source: Not saying O_o

 

So I found this really cool looking cigar ship in a crater on Earths moon. The ship measures just under 1km across and looks very similar to a submarine. The front is pointed like the old iron locomotives...to push through things it may encounter. Also the front kinda looks like the old submarine from the story of 2000 Leagues Under The Sea.  Now I added a bit of yellow to make it more visible for those who have trouble seeing it. The back of the craft actually seems to have a flat upper deck, like the old 1600s Spanish Galleons that sailed on the ocean. As I looked around it, I noticed another ship almost equal in size but very different from the first. They are sitting on opposite sides of the same hill. Probably long since abandoned, but left there for emergency spare parts. 

 

This is as close as it gets guys...this is 100% proof that intelligent alien species live not only in our solar system, but right next to earth...on our own moon. I guess its not really our...moon...is it?

After 6 months, on November 15, 2020, a new huge formation of UFOs appeared on the ISS live cam while flying past the International Space Station. 

Before, several waves of UFO formations appeared in February through the first week of May, 2020 on the ISS live feed camera while passing the Earth and images show that these clusters of UFOs fly in large coordinated groups. 

It is suggested that these UFO formations are city lights but since the ISS circles the Earth in roughly 93 minutes, completing 15.5 orbits per day then we should see these kind of city lights on the live feed every day, but that is not the case, which makes you wonder why these kind of formations appear again or are we being watched?

When I look at these images, I also think that they are images of the illuminated cities, filmed at night by the IS. These images really remind me of the space photos we sometimes get to see.

Zimbabwe UFO Child Conactee Speaks Publicly For The 1st Time

Emily Trim was a student at the Ariel primary school near the town of Ruwa in Zimbabwe. On September 16, 1994, many students reported seeing a craft land near the school and strange beings exit the craft and interact with the children. The incident was made famous when it was covered by the BBC, who interviewed the children soon after the incident. Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack traveled to the school to interview the children and recorded their extraordinary accounts.

Emily was one of those children and says the incident still effects her to this day. She says she was only a few feet away from the beings and believes she was given messages. She has began painting and drawing mysterious and beautiful images she feels are a manifestation of the messages she received.

Day of the incident, she and a friend were out during recess and playing a game where they would hop on the boundary logs around the playground. The two of them then heard a high pitched frequency and saw a flash, followed by the craft. She says that it’s hard to judge time at this point, how long the whole thing lasted, etc.

Two beings started hopping on the logs next to them, mimicking them, and then all of a sudden ended up in front of them, at arms length. Suddenly the girls were frozen and started receiving telepathic images being communicated from the beings’ eyes. The message of the images was about the positives and negatives of technology, “there’s a good and a bad way to use technology, you can do better.”

Someone in the crowd asks if she’s had further experiences with the beings, she says yes but she doesn’t know if it’s the same ones she saw as a child. Then she describes her painting, says that she doesn’t know what she’s going to paint when she starts painting (I think?), but she describes the painting shown in the slide and talks about the “energy” that surrounds her when time seems to freeze during the encounters.

Then someone asks her to describe the beings from her other experiences. She says they can alter perception to make you feel more comfortable with what you’re seeing. She says that in her last encounter there were greys and a face that went back and forth between a “being” and a lion (very interesting stuff, reminds me of descriptions of angels in the bible). And she says that the beings are similar to the ones she saw as a child.

Then the guy with the glasses closes it out by paraphrasing what she told him. “Who cares what the ship looked like, who cares what it sounded like, who cares what they look like, it’s what they’re saying to us.”
