Secret NASA Footage Shows Manned Mars Mission in 1973

 A film was allegedly leaked from NASA. The footage which is not very clear is apparantly from a manned mission to Mars – in 1973.

Metro.co.uk reports:

The film, which shows some wobbly-cam footage of the planet, begins with a sign saying, ‘Not for public distribution.’

Must be real, then.

Conspiracy theorists believe that there was a ‘secret space programme’, codenamed Project Redsun, when humans landed on Mars in the late 60s or early 70s.

Conspiracy theorists believe that this is being kept from the ordinary public for various sinister reasons – and that NASA and other governments are covertly in contact with aliens.

Some of these theorists believe that the current Curiosity Rover is a giant hoax – pointing to the vehicle’s shiny solar panels as ‘evidence’ that they are being polished by humans already on Mars.

Nigel Watson, author of the Haynes UFO Investigations Manual, says, ‘These accounts of secret space missions seem to be growing in number and remind me of the infamous Project Serpo.’

‘In November 2005, a contact called ‘anonymous’, who said they worked for the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) started sending information about an extraordinary alien exchange programme, called Project Serpo. Basing his claims on a 3,000-page document written in the late 1970s, he boldly claimed that six aliens were recovered from the Roswell crash.’

‘Claims that aliens living and/or dead were recovered from the Roswell crash are nothing new, but in this case it was stated that an alien survivor from the crash, called EBE 1, helped to organise twelve specially trained people to visit his home planet Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli solar system. This mission occurred in 1965 and they remained there until 1978. During their stay two of them died, two remained on the planet and the rest, after returning to Earth, have died because of the high levels of radiation they were exposed to on Serpo.’

‘Bill Ryan who posted these claims online concluded that ‘the Serpo story is a mixture of disinformation (i.e. truth mixed with added fictional elements) and naturally occurring compounded errors…surrounding a core of extraordinary truth.’

Black Triangle On Earths Sun For Over 1 Year! UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: March 2021

Location of sighting: Earths sun

Source: Helioviewer.org

 

I was looking at the sun on Helioviewer this week and noticed the black triangle that I discovered  over a year ago is still there. It seems to move every 3 months. I mean every 3 months it moves in the opposite direction. Very odd, but check out the video I made. It will all make sense. Now this could be a giant triangle ship, but I have seen some white cubes coming out of it, so I am wondering...if its a doorway from a hollow sun? Or a open wormhole used for universal transportation? There are so many possibilities...but all of them point to intelligent alien life being responsible for this phenomenon.

UFO changing speed & direction over Burbank, CA

This interesting footage of an unidentified flying saucer was filmed over Burbank, California on 11th November 2020 but it was just today released on MUFON’s website.

Witness report:

 Mid-November 2020 at around 8:30 pm I was in my backyard with my dogs when I saw what, at first, appeared to be a comet/asteroid, at a very high speed, streaking in from the NW and then just stopped. It hovered for a moment and then began moving downward, as if just falling. It then shot to the left and down, then up again at an impossible rate of speed. I immediately ran in to get my cellphone and began shooting. It was still there and was moving around left, then right, then falling and shooting up again. It was a cloudless night. Both the Moon and Venus were a bit higher and to its right. It would vanish and then reappear, like it was going behind a cloud, but there were no clouds. I could see it shoot up, again at incredible speed, with my eyes and then vanish. I moved the camera upward and it caught sight of it, began to glow brightly (to the eye it was green, on the camera it appears white). At the end it began falling and then just vanished. It did not reappear that I could see although I waited for a while.

This is the second report I have given to MUFON. The first was a sphere that appeared directly in front of me, also in my backyard, at 4:00 am in the morning in August 2020. It remained hovering around 8 to 9 feet in front of my lemon tree. It was 6 to 7 feet in diameter with a pale aqua blue ring surrounding it, which looked like it had some sort of liquid in it. It was completely silent, all the crickets had stopped chirping and there no sound whatsoever. I live up in the hills of Burbank so it’s like a graveyard here at night with the exception of crickets. I was stunned and excited – began speaking with it saying how excited I was to see it, that I always knew non-terrestrials were here and so blessed to be able to see them. I place my hand over my heart in a gesture of gratitude while saying how grateful I was for the experience. The sphere (with the most beautiful white light I’ve ever seen – that cast no shadow) blinked brightly twice at my remark and gesture. At some point I broke off the conversation and went back inside. I looked out of my blinds in the den and it was still there – stationary, hovering. I thought I should get my camera but then after about a minute, maybe less, it just vanished the same way it appeared. I saw nothing come down and nothing go up. Just vanished into thin air.

Weeks later I was speaking with my Chris who lives two blocks over from me and higher up the hill. I told him what happened and thought he would think I’m a total moron. To my shock he said he’d also seen the same sphere, but moving up and down the mountain then vanishing at a high rate of speed, two years ago. Chris is a pilot so he understands that this was a technology we do not have. He said the pressure from those movements would make pumpkin seed out of a human being. Since that time I have photographed and seen multiple different ships. One of them, I call the worm, is always showing up. I know that Skunkworks used to be housed at Burbank Airport down the hill – it’s the only thing Chris and I can come up with for why they’re here so much. At any rate, I will send you my video from November and some images of the worm at 5 x zoom.

Researchers track zipping solar particles all the way to the Sun

They swooshed from the Sun, but they left a track behind.

 by Mihai Andrei

Solar energetic particles (SEP) are pretty weird. They’re not photons, though they can reach a speed comparable to that of light. They’re made of protons, electrons, and a type of ion and carry a lot of energy.

SEPs were first noticed in the 1940s, and that’s also when researchers started to get worried about them. They can fry sensitive spacecraft electronics and pose serious risks to human astronauts — but at the same time, they’re rare and unpredictable. They can pop up at any minute and in any direction and without a clever setup, it’s hard to trace them.

Luckily, we have a clever setup. NASA’s Heliophysics System Observatory is a fleet of Sun-studying spacecraft strategically scattered throughout the solar system. With each new spacecraft added to the fleet, it gets more and more capable — and with its current capability, researchers have been able to pinpoint where SEPs are coming from.

“We have for the first time been able to pinpoint the specific sources of these energetic particles,” said Stephanie Yardley, space physicist at the University College London and coauthor of the paper. “Understanding the source regions and physical processes that produce SEPs could lead to improved forecasting of these events.”

Study authors David Brooks, space physicist at George Mason University in Washington, D.C., and Yardley published their findings in Science Advances on March 3, 2021. They divided SEP events into two types: impulsive and gradual. The impulsive ones form after solar flares and quickly quiet down.

“There’s this really sharp spike, and then an exponential decay with time,” said Lynn Wilson, project scientist for the Wind spacecraft at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who was not involved in the study.

The gradual ones are more mysterious. They tend to come in swarms, which makes them more dangerous. But they also seem to have a weird mixture of atoms, different from the solar material streaming in the solar wind — which led many researchers to believe that they form deeper in the sun.

To find out where SEPs come from, Brooks and Yardley undertook some detective work, tracing gradual SEP events back to their origin on the Sun. They focused on a region called Active Region 11944, a bright area of strong magnetic field with a large dark sunspot visible from Earth, looking for places that matched the chemical signature of gradual SEPs.

“There is often less sulfur in SEPs compared to the solar wind, sometimes a lot less” said Brooks, lead author of the paper. “This is a unique fingerprint of SEPs that allows us to search for places in the Sun’s atmosphere where sulfur is also lacking.”

They found it, but not where they were expecting it: in the layer below where solar flares and coronal mass ejections form.

“I really thought we were going to find it at the edges of the active region where the magnetic field is already open and material can escape directly,” Brooks said. “But the fingerprint matched only in regions where the magnetic field is still closed.”

This is surprising because solar wind can escape easiest by finding open magnetic fields. In fact, researchers aren’t exactly sure how the SEPs escape the Sun. But they know where they form, and that narrows it down tremendously.

Researchers emphasize that none of this would have been possible without observations coming from the fleet of NASA spacecraft.

“It’s a way of thinking about all the spacecraft that are in flight that you can use to do a single study,” Wilson said. “It’s like having a bunch of weather stations — you start to get a much better picture of what the weather is doing on a larger scale, and you can actively start to try to predict it.”

When most people hear that one side is colder than the other, they often think it’s in reference to beds and the common complaint of couples whose temperatures clash and interfere with getting a good night’s sleep. However, when scientists from the University of Oslo say it, they’re referring to the planet Earth, where one side is becoming colder much faster than the other. Do we need planet-sized quilt? Would it help to move all the hot-blooded people to that side?

“Earth’s interior is cooling because its rate of heat loss exceeds its rate of internal heat production. Heat loss happens at the Earth’s surface and is highly variable, with thick continents providing strong insulation to Earth’s interior and thin seafloor allowing more rapid heat transfer.”

According to the study published in Geophysical Research Letters, the surface of the Earth is indeed like a bed and the continents are blankets which don’t quite cover everything. In particular, the oceans are the spots where feet would get cold in this planetary bed. While the heat generated by the Earth’s core emanates evenly, it doesn’t get to us in the same way. As explained in Popular Mechanics, the researchers at the University of Oslo wanted to know why, so they built a model dividing Earth into African and Pacific hemispheres, then dividing the surface into a grid by half degrees latitude and longitude. After feeding in the continental positions during the last 400 million years – including the supercontinent Pangea – they cranked out the temperature model. The results surprised them.

“We find that heat loss was on average 25% higher in the past than it is today, which implies more rapid overall cooling than expected. We also find that the Pacific side of the world has lost heat at a much faster rate than the African side. This is partly due to positioning of continental landmasses, including the supercontinent Pangea, on the African side for most of the past 400 million years. By contrast, the oceans on the Pacific side offered “poor insulation” that led to ∼50°C more cooling of the Pacific mantle compared to its African counterpart. The extra heat lost from the Pacific side may have been trapped there by Rodinia, an older, long‐lived supercontinent that covered the Pacific mantle about one billion years ago.”

The Pacific side lost its Rodinia ‘blanket’ about 600 million years ago, while Pangea began to break apart about 175 million years ago, providing heat longer on the African side of Earth. What does all of this mean for people sleeping (and living) on the Pacific side of the Earth bed? You know how being cold causes a lot of tossing and turning in a real bed?

“Was it covered by landmass at some point in the far distant past, keeping more heat inside? There are other possible explanations, but either way, the Pacific’s high tectonic activity today points to a heat disparity. The meltier the mantle, the more the plates can slide and slam together.”

Popular Mechanics points to this lack of a warm quilt as a (if not THE) reason for the increase in volcanic and earthquake activity along the Pacific rim. Unfortunately, there’s no electric blanket or separate-side-temperature-controlled sheets for an Earth-sized bed. And moving all of the hot-blooded people there won’t help – they’d drown before their side warmed up. The best bet is to move in the opposite direction away from the tectonic activity caused by the cold feet of the Pacific Ocean.

Sweet dreams.

Born in Poland in 1891, George Adamski had the distinction of being the most supported, celebrated and ridiculed of those who claimed direct contact with human-like extraterrestrials. The controversy largely began on 20 November 1952, when, along with six other people, Adamski claimed that he witnessed the landing of a UFO in the Californian desert and then made contact with its pilot. FBI documentation, however, showed that Adamski’s interest in UFOs preceded the 1952 date by at least two years; and the author Timothy Good stated that Adamski claimed to have had other-worldly contact as a child, and to have later received instruction from them in Tibet, hence his 1936 book, Wisdom of the Masters of the Far East, published by The Royal Order of Tibet.

At the beginning of its surveillance of George Adamski, the FBI did not apparently have any awareness of his earlier claims of contact; however a document dated 28 May 1952 references his 1950 encounters, and also reveals that – as with George Van Tassel – the FBI considered Adamski to be a subversive. A study of the documentation shows that much of the FBI’s initial data on Adamski came from a source (whose name the FBI has chosen to keep classified) that revealed the facts to its San Diego office on 5 September 1950: “[Source] advised the San Diego Office that he first met Adamski about three months ago at the café which is named the Palomar Gardens Café, owned and operated by Adamski, at the road junction, five miles East of Rincon, California, at a point where the highway branches off leading to Mount Palomar Observatory.

George Adamski

“[Source] became involved in a lengthy conversation with Adamski during which Adamski told them at great length of his findings of flying saucers and so forth. He told them of a spaceship which he said he saw between the earth and the moon, which he estimated to be approximately three miles in length, which was flying so fast that he had to take about eighty photographs before he could get three of them to turn out. According to [source] Adamski stated that the Federal Communications Commission, under the direction of the ‘Military Government’ of the United States, has established communication with the people from other worlds, and has learned that they are so much more advanced than the inhabitants of this earth that they have deciphered the languages used here. Adamski stated that in this interplanetary communication, the Federal Communications Commission asked the inhabitants of the other planet concerning the type of government they had there and the reply indicated that it was very different from the democracy of the United States. Adamski stated that his answer was kept secret by the United States Government, but he added, ‘If you ask me they probably have a Communist form of government and our American government wouldn’t release that kind of thing, naturally. That is a thing of the future – more advanced.'”

Adamski’s comments that his alien friends were communists caused – at the very least – raised eyebrows within the FBI, and led to continued monitoring of his activities: “Adamski, during this conversation, made the prediction that Russia will dominate the world and we will then have an era of peace for 1,000 years. He stated that Russia already has the atom bomb and the hydrogen bomb and that the great earthquake, which was reported behind the Iron Curtain recently, was actually a hydrogen bomb explosion being tried out by the Russians. Adamski states this ‘earthquake’ broke seismograph machines and he added that no normal earthquake can do that.

“Adamski stated that within the next twelve months, San Diego will be bombed. Adamski stated that it does not make any difference if the United States has more atom bombs than Russia inasmuch as Russia needs only ten atom bombs to cripple the United States by placing these simultaneously on such spots as Chicago and other vital centers of this country. The United States today is in the same state of deterioration as was the Roman Empire prior to its collapse and it will fall just as the Roman empire did. The Government in this country is a corrupt form of government and capitalists are enslaving the poor.”

From thereon, Adamski was officially considered by the FBI to be a “security matter.” In January 1953, he was again the subject of FBI interest when the San Diego office began to hear rumors to the effect that: “Adamski had in his possession a machine which could draw ‘flying saucers’ and airplanes down from the sky.” Despite his the-aliens-are-Communists-style statements of 1952, Adamski was concerned that the device that supposedly operated on the principle of “cutting magnetic lines of force,” could be used against American aircraft; and it was Adamski himself initiated who initiated a meeting with both the FBI and the Air Force of Special Investigations, and that occurred on 12 January 1953.

From the beginning of the meeting, Adamski was careful to make it clear that the machine was the creation of another person, and that regardless of what the FBI thought it knew or had been told to the contrary, Adamski had not yet seen the device – he had only been told of its existence. He did, however, apparently know enough about both it and its creator to suggest that production of the device might not be in the best interests of the Government, since the person concerned “was not entirely loyal.” On this matter, at least, Adamski cooperated fully, and provided both the Bureau and the Air Force with sufficient information to allow a formal investigation of the machine’s “inventor” to begin.

In that same meeting, Adamski could not let the opportunity pass by to discuss with both the FBI and the Air Force his claimed encounter of 20 November 1952 out in the deserts of California, as the FBI carefully noted in its write-up of the interview: “At a point ten and two-tenths miles from Desert Center on the road to Parker and Needles, Arizona, [Adamski] made contact with a space craft and had talked to a space man. Adamski stated that he, [deleted] and his wife Mary had been out in the desert and that he and the persons with him had seen the craft come down to the earth. Adamski stated that a small stairway in the bottom of the craft, which appeared to be a round disc, opened and a space man came down the steps. Adamski stated he believed there were other space men in the ship because the ship appeared translucent and could see the shadows of the space men.”

Adamski also revealed that the alien was “over five feet in height, having long hair like a woman’s and garbed in a suit similar to the space suits or web suits worn by the US Air Force men.” And in a similar fashion to George Van Tassel, Adamski related to the FBI and OSI agents that he conversed with the being by means of sign language, but felt that his mid was being “read.” As evidence of this, Adamski said that as he was about to take a photograph of the aliens’ craft, the humanoid “motioned” him to stop. Adamski told the agents that he took his photograph regardless, but that this was not to the liking of the cosmic visitor, who grabbed the material evidence out of Adamski’s hands and soared off into the sky!

Adamski’s adventures with the aliens were not over, however. Once again, according to the FBI: “Adamski further advised that he had obtained plaster casts of the footprints of the space man and stated that the casts indicated the footprints had designs on them similar to the signs of the Zodiac. On January 12, 1953, Adamski advised that on December 13, 1952, the space ship returned to the Palomar Gardens and came low enough to drop the [film negative] which the space man had taken from him, Adamski, and had then gone off over the hill. Adamski stated that when he had the negatives developed at a photo shop in Escondido, California, that the negative that the space man had taken from him contained writing which he believed to be the writing of the space men. Adamski furnished the writer with copies of the space writing and photographs of the space ship.”

However, from another source, the FBI was told that: “The photographs were taken by setting the camera lens at infinity, which would sharpen the background of mountains and trees and blurs the saucer, which was probably strung on a thin wire. [Source] advised that if the camera were set at infinity the wire would not show.” Indeed, what all of this tells us is that until his death in 1965, Adamski was a controversial character – whether within the field of Ufology, or with the special-agents of J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI.

The alien abduction of Charles Hickson

The foreman of the shipyard late in the evening of October 11, 1973, went fishing with a workmate, 19-year-old Calvin Parker. Hickson himself was 42 years old at the time. The men were fishing from an abandoned pier on the Pascagoula River in Mississippi. And suddenly they heard a whistle, turning into a hiss, which came from above and behind. They turned around. A meter from the ground and about 15 meters away from them hung either a disk or a cylinder with two flashing lights or windows.

I don't know if it was round or oblong. I could see the little dome from above, but I couldn't see the whole thing. I didn't even know what size it was.

Charles said later:

The thing opened the hatch. Three figures emerged from it. And they went to the fishermen. And why didn't I jump into the river to get away from them?

Parker had wondered for years:

The creatures looked terrible: gray, wrinkled skin, very long arms that ended in what looked like claws, legs that looked like an elephant's. The heads grew straight out of the shoulders. That is, the necks of the creatures were missing. There were protrusions where people should have had noses, like the carrots of snowmen. Similar formations stuck out on the sides in place of the ears. They were drawn in and out.

Right under the front "carrots" were narrow slits, vaguely resembling mouths. The aliens either had no eyes at all, or they were lost in the folds of their skin.

The creatures swam up to Hickson without moving their legs. Two men grabbed him from both sides. Something pricked my arm and made it impossible to move. Charles could only watch as the creatures dragged him into their machine. The third elephant was carrying Parker's limp body.

There were no seats or equipment visible inside the ship, just a very bright light. Hickson hung in the air like an astronaut in zero gravity. Something that looked like an eye popped out of the wall, moving back and forth as if examining Hickson carefully. Then the creatures turned the captive over, and the " eye " continued its examination.

Finally, the "elephants" pulled their prey back onto the pier. And released. Hickson immediately fell backward - his legs would not obey. Parker stood motionless beside him, his arms outstretched as if in a deep trance. The brigadier crawled to his comrade but soon realized that he could get up. At that moment, the machine took off and disappeared flashing blue lights. The whole incident lasted about 20 minutes.

For a long time, Parker refused to tell what happened to him in the UFO, saying that he lost consciousness, I don't remember anything. But after 20 years, he started talking: they brought him to another room and put him on an inclined table. There was a "small" creature, in Parker's mind, female. It examined him. And then it stuck a needle in the "manhood", telepathically informing that there would be no harm from it.

Four hours later, the fishermen, having recovered a little, hurried to the police. Sheriff Fred Diamond and Captain Glen Rader saw that they were clearly shaken to the core, but did not believe the story about the UFO.

To catch the narrators, the police took them to a separate room, turning on a hidden recording. But even in private, the fishermen were shaking with fear, exchanging fragmentary phrases. And Calvin just got down on his knees and started praying.

After listening to the tape, Raider realized that the men were not joking, and contacted the Kiesler Air Force Base. There, the "contactees" were examined by army doctors. After making sure that Hickson and Parker were physically healthy, the military cross-examined them. At the same time, police officer Tom Huntley was present, who drew attention to the fact that the military behaved as if they heard about the abductions on board the UFO every day. When Hickson mentioned that the creatures ' hands were like claws, the two colonels looked at each other, apparently familiar with the detail.  

it was definitely something extraterrestrial... One can only guess where they came from and why, but the fact that they were here is a truth that cannot be doubted

Ufologist James Harder, who took over the baton from the military, came to the conclusion:

I have no doubt that these two people have experienced something terrible.

Allen Hynek-Confirmed:

Charles Hickson passed a lie detector test. When the test was over, the operator exclaimed, "It looks like that son of a bitch is telling the truth!"

The official conclusion of the test was not so emotional: "The subject sincerely believes that he saw an extraterrestrial ship and was taken on board by some creatures."

It soon became clear that the UFO over Pascagoula was seen by three other people-police officer Raymond Broadus, city councilman Eugene Sagalas and a woman who did not want to identify herself. The ship was exactly the same shape as the one described during the interrogations of the abductees. In 2001, retired Navy officer Mike Cataldo said that that evening he and two of his companions also saw an object over the docks. In the morning, he called Kiesler Air Force Base and left a phone number, but no one contacted him to clarify the details.

When the grueling tests and interrogations were over, Parker was admitted to the hospital with a nervous breakdown and was treated for a long time. Even a few months later, his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't work. Hickson proved to be more resilient - the brigadier's nerves were hardened in Korea, where he fought and was awarded five medals. However, his adventures are by no means over…

In January 1974, Charles was hunting and finally sat down for a snack, resting his rifle on his lap. Suddenly he felt that everything around him seemed to freeze, the sounds disappeared and there was complete silence. The same ship that had appeared in the clearing three months ago-not landed but appeared out of nowhere. The words rang out in his head: "We don't want to hurt you or anyone else.

You will be able to communicate with us in the future. You passed the test. You are the chosen one. Don't be afraid. We'll get back to you.

Then the aliens found Hixon right in the courtyard of the house. He didn't see the UFO, but the words came back to him: "You must tell the people that we will do no harm. Your world needs help. We will help in the future before it's too late. You're not ready to understand it yet. We'll be back soon."

Hickson, of course, was in no hurry to make a fool of himself, but on May 12, they actually returned, and in front of other eyewitnesses. As Charles was driving in the car with his wife, sister, and friends, a ship appeared, as if about to land right in front of the hood. Hickson realized that they had come for him, and asked the driver to stop, but the passengers fell into hysterics, demanding to leave as soon as possible.

At that moment, Hickson "heard" a voice: "Go ahead. There will be another time and place to meet." The ship was no longer moving and disappeared from sight around another bend. Hickson met the anniversary of the kidnapping on the same pier with William Mendez of Michigan College. The night passed without incident, and they decided to go to the ufo center "Starlight "( where experts tried to contact the UFO with lasers, searchlights, and other equipment).

On October 12, a UFO the size of a full moon appeared in the sky, from which two vibrating lines in the form of the letter V radiated downwards. The scientists focused their lenses, but before they could take pictures, the ship took off and disappeared. Hickson had no doubt that the aliens were watching him, but there were no telepathic messages this time. Until his death, Charles waited for the aliens to return, deliberately went to remote places. But they never fulfilled their promise…

Tiny Asteroid To Skim Earth Almost As Close As The Moon Tomorrow Morning

Its Second-Closest Approach To Earth

PIXABAY | URIKYO33

Although we've only been keeping tabs on 2021 EM4 for a short amount of time, the space rock had been regularly visiting Earth for the past century or so. Based on orbital observations, the JPL team compiled a list of the rock's close Earth approaches dating back to 1909 and stretching into the future as far as the year 2065.

Interestingly enough, tomorrow's flyby will be the rock's second-closest encounter with Earth. Its closest-ever approach occurred exactly 112 years ago to the date and brought the asteroid within 325,500 miles of Earth.

The asteroid is due for another visit later this year, on October 4. However, its next trip will take it significantly farther away from Earth -- some 19,54 million miles away, to be exact.

15 Amazing Technology Trends We Must Embrace in the Next Decade

According to CompTIA 2020, the global technology industry is forecasted to reach $5 trillion in 2021. If this prediction comes true, it will represent a growth rate of 4.2%. 

With today’s rapid pace of change, it gets challenging to predict the evolving state of technology in the future. The ghastly COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated the innovation process. It has reshaped the technology trends and digital ecosystem. As our perspective on life has also changed for the better, we are digging for ways to be more competitive and productive through technology. 

The next few years will be full of technological surprises and disruption. In this light, let us examine the emerging technology trends that will significantly impact the economy and our lives in the coming decade. 

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Will Become a Conventional Reality 

According to Deloitte 2021, AI-based revenues are anticipated to hit $100 billion by 2025.

We have already witnessed what AI is capable of, and the next decade will take things a notch higher. AI can help medical patients through the use of different kinds of robots. Assistive robots can help with manipulation tasks like grasping or feeding disabled patients. Further, AI can also help chemists and druggists analyze data and recognize treatments efficiently based on the disease’s direct cause. This could lead to a reduction of up to $2.6 billion in the treatment development process. 

2. 5G Technology Will Soon Become a Boon for Businesses 

According to IDG, 5G latency is predicted to range between 1 and 4 milliseconds- a far cry from 4G’s 50 to 100 milliseconds. By 2023, 5G subscriptions are forecasted to reach 1.3 billion worldwide (Statista, 2021).

What Is 5G Technology And How Must Businesses Prepare For It?

 ADOBE STOCK

The term 5G has been creating a buzz for more than half a decade and has been a matter of debate on most technical essay writer forums. The emergence of 5G is one of the most enigmatic, new upcoming technologies that could impact businesses in 2021. 

Huawei says, “5G wireless networks will support 1000 fold gains in capacity, connections for at least 100 billion devices and a 10GB/s individual user experience of extremely low latency and response times. Deployment of these networks will emerge between 2020 and 2030.”  

3. Emergence of Easy and Safe Autonomous Driving 

You must have heard of well-known companies like Alphabet, Tesla, and Waymo. Do you know what is common between them? Their impeccable objective is to craft amazing autonomous vehicles. 

• https://www.zdnet.com/video/teslas-big-new-feature-autopilot-now-halts-cars-at-red-lights-and-stop-signs/

Although the existing infrastructure needs tweaks, we certainly cannot rule out the possibility of autonomous vehicles in 2020. 

4. Considerable Advancement in Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

As per a survey by Statista in 2020, the market size of AR is presently at $12 billion, and by 2023 AR users are estimated to reach 2.4 billion. Augmented reality has turned out to be another major game-changer across numerous industries. Advances in AR, VR, and MR will continue to be at the forefront of attention in the upcoming decade. Once only found in video gaming, R+ will quickly become a useful tool in manufacturing, healthcare, engineering design, space exploration, and many other areas. 

5. Rise of The Internet of Behaviors 

The Internet of Behaviors is only meant to captivate the ‘digital dust’ of the lives of people from various sources. According to Gartner, more than half of the global population will be under an IoB tool by 2025. Given the implementation of COVID-19 protocols, we will only experience a boom in the internet of behaviors in the year 2021 and further on. This would be phenomenal in monitoring and enhancing customer choices, priorities, and actions. 

6. Increasing Popularity of Distributed Cloud Services 

Currently, cloud-based applications have taken the markets by storm. As more than 90% of firms switch to cloud-based operations, distributed cloud services will get allocated as per their physical location through public cloud providers. In 2021, distributed cloud technology will flourish for its numerous advantages, like less latency, physical proximity, and lower data cost. It can be said without a shade of doubt that cloud distribution is the future and new normal that we should embrace wholeheartedly. 

7. Growth of Digital Sectors By Leaps And Bounds 

When COVID-19 revealed our systems’ fragility, digital medical examinations and digital health came to the rescue of humanity. Globally, the digital health market was worth around $88 billion in 2018, but now it is expected to grow to over $500 billion by 2025. In this decade, the digital health sector is expected to develop sustainable, scalable, and affordable health solutions. If anything, we know how rapidly our world will embrace these technological leaps. 

8. DARQ- An Asset for Hiring And Training

The technology market of DARQ (Distributed Ledger Technologies)has generated revenue of $640 million in 2019 and is expected to rise at a CAGR of 16.5% during 2020-2025. Volkswagen is already cashing in on this technology trend to use quantum computing to test traffic flow optimization and accelerate battery development. Taking all these cases of DARQ into consideration, eminent tech essay writers and researchers believe that its existence in the coming decade is beyond doubt. 

9. Growth of E-Sports

A decade ago, the popular concept of online gaming, virtual matches, and sports was challenging to comprehend. The past few years and the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the growth of the e-sports market, predicted to surpass $1.5 billion by 2023. 

When the pandemic hit us, it was observed that 1/3 of online consumers subscribed to virtual sports avenues. A flux of digital consumers was seen on video gaming, cloud gaming, and the virtual sports portal. Gen Z and millennial customers are leaning towards E-sports more than ever. 

10. Rise Of Ethical AI

In the past, firms that adopted AI technologies and machine learning paid little heed to their ethical impact. In the present day, value-based consumers and employees expect various companies to adopt AI responsibly. Although over 50% of AI adopters have major concerns regarding the potential risks of their AI plans, only 4 in 10 reported that their organizations were prepared to address them. Over the next few years, firms will deliberately choose to do business with partners who commit to data ethics and values. 

11. Increasing Use of Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrency 

A digital asset or the online monetary equivalence, Cryptocurrency is a giant market worth over $265 billion. We will observe a steady increase in Cryptocurrency users (presently around 40 million) in the upcoming years. We can expect blockchain tech and Cryptocurrency to shine through digital transactions in 2021 due to the increasing interest of business in digitalization. 

12. The Empowered Edge 

According to Grand View Research, the value of the global edge computing market is estimated to reach $3.5 billion by 2027.  In 2021, innovations in next-generation communications, cloud-native technologies, and edge computing architectures have come together to create breakthroughs in cloud-to-cloud integration. By 2023, Gartner believes there will be up to 20 times as many smart devices at the edge of the network. 

13. The Rise of AI Security 

Perhaps one of the most undeniable trends that we will most likely see in the upcoming decade is an increasing need for privacy and security in the artificial intelligence environment. As companies worldwide continue to embrace machine learning and AI, it only makes sense that we will want these environments to become as secure as possible. This will compel CIOS and eminent business leaders to think diligently about improving the cloud computing environment. 

14. Human Augmentation 

A vital topic that Gartner has considered in its recent report of disruptive tech trends for the upcoming decade is Human Augmentation. 

As per Gartner, human augmentation is the wing of technology that can be used to deliver cognitive and physical improvements to the human experience. Certain aspects of human augmentation may incorporate more wearables to complete tasks every day. Gartner also feels that human augmentation will soon become more evident over the next ten years. 

15. Global IoT Security Breaches 

Analyst firm Gartner predicts that 20.4 billion connected things would be in use worldwide by 2030. And with the steep rise of autonomous things, there is an excellent chance that many of these things will have a weak security level. 

In 2021, it will be essential for IoT manufacturers to significantly increase security for all the products in the market. Whether it is a drone or a refrigerator, manufacturers should implement security to keep hackers at bay. 

Final Note 

The future is uncertain, and it is difficult to predict how technology will evolve. Innovations will emerge from left-field and surprise the world. But, that’s what makes it excessively exciting! We hope this gives you a comprehensive idea of the 15 technology trends to keep an eye on in the upcoming decade. Let us embrace the changing times with gusto!

An out of place anomaly has been discovered in the middle of nowhere of Antarctica. The size of the anomaly is 105Lx40Wx10H meters.

Is it something that has formed naturally over the years, could it be artificial to hide something or could it be a stitching error? 

In addition, images of Saunders Island near Antarctica also show an out of place anomaly that raises questions. 

Coordinates: 

• Antarctica: 66°37'37.57"S 110°16'39.19"E (time line 2004)
• Saunders Island: 57°48'32.09"S 26°28'25.87"W

Five Strong Signs That Aliens Have Already Been On Earth

The existence of aliens has long been a debating point among conspiracy theorists and space experts. Even though space agencies like NASA have long refuted claims of alien existence, they are still on the hunt to find extraterrestrials which may be living in the outer space.

However, conspiracy theorists strongly argue that aliens have been visiting earth for hundreds of thousands of years, and they are blaming the government and space agencies like NASA for covering up the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Here is a glance at five strong signs often put forward arguing that aliens have already been on earth.

1. Flying saucers everywhere

Surfing the internet using the word ‘UFO’ will populate too many videos showing unidentified flying objects hovering across the skies in various parts of the world. Even though many of these videos are being made using CGI, there are some authentic clips which still remain unanswered and mysterious.

One such authentic clip was captured from Turkey on May 13, 2009, at around 2.20 AM. The video shows an eerie flying object hovering across the skies, and interestingly, through the transparent UFO, we can also see two aliens sitting on the deck.

As the video turned viral on the internet, the Council for Scientific and Technological Research set up a team to check the authenticity of the clip. After nine years of extensive research, the team found that the flying object spotted in the video did not have an earthly origin. The report also added that the video was not subjected to any kind of editing.

UFO research agencies like MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) are getting regular reports of UFO sightings which happen in various corners of the globe, and this clearly indicates that some strange phenomenon is going on in our skies.

However, a section of people believe that these crafts are actually secret military crafts developed by the United States and Russia. The imminent question is — Do these craft have an alien origin, or are they secretive military vessels like the alleged TR-3B?

2. Ancient cave paintings hide a million mysteries

A few years ago, archeologists in India discovered some bizarre cave paintings in rocks at Charama, Chhattisgarh.

Interestingly, these rock paintings depicted alien-like figures wearing suits very similar to modern day space suits. The startling drawings also featured disc-shaped flying saucers, each with a fan-like antenna and three legs.

After analyzing the cave drawings, archeologists came to the conclusion that these cave drawings were painted before 10,000 years. For humans beings, space travel became a reality in the 20th century, then how can ancient Indians draw paintings featuring aliens and flying saucers?

Another popular depiction of aliens in cave paintings can be seen in Christina Lake, British Columbia, Canada. These paintings feature flying saucers with large wings hovering above a group of people.

Recently, renowned television anchor Giorgio Tsoukalos, known for presenting ‘Ancient Aliens’ in History Channel revealed that aliens used to visit humans in the ancient ages.

The television conspiracy theorist also revealed that ancient humans have misrepresented alien visitors as deities and their advanced technology was interpreted as magic. Those who believe in this theory argue that aliens had brought these advanced knowledge and culture to the human civilization on earth.

3. Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program

In December 2017, Pentagon shocked the entire world by admitting that they have conducted a UFO search program under the name ‘Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program’. The million dollar project was carried out to unravel the mysteries surrounding UFO sightings.

The US Defense Department also released a video featuring an unidentified flying object being trailed by a US F-18 jet. Interestingly, the UFO spotted in the video flew across the sky defying all the known laws of physics, and it indicates that this object is made from advanced alien technology.

4. Impeccable ancient structures

There are several structures on the earth like Ancient Egyptian pyramids at Giza, Nazca lines, and Sacsayhuamán that are too big, too complex and too heavy for the ancient humans to build.

Even in the modern days, humans will find it hard to build such marvelous structures with impeccable architecture. So, who built these massive structures? The answer still remains an enigma.

5. Admission from a top Canadian Minister

Paul Hellyer, the former Canadian Minister of National Defence, emerged out of nowhere to claim that aliens have been visiting earth for thousands of years.

The former cabinet minister also said that the US Air Force has been using weapons and crafts made with alien technology since the 1960s.

NASA Perseverance rover captures blustery dust devil on Mars

The rover's cameras caught sight of the swirling, whirling wind action.

NASA/JPL-Caltech

Not long after landing, NASA's Perseverance rover used a microphone to listen to the wind on Mars. Now it's also gotten an eyeful of what that wind can do. On Tuesday, NASA shared the rover's view of a whirling dust devil making its way across the Martian landscape.

The Perseverance team posted two GIFs on social media, one showing a wider look and one showing a zoomed-in view. 

"You can see it in the distance behind my robotic arm in this enhanced/processed view," NASA wrote. "The dust devil is moving right to left and creating whirlwinds of dust in its path."

Mars is a notoriously dusty and windy place, making it the perfect environment for dust devils, some of which can reach towering proportions. 

The rover's-eye viewpoint gives a ground-level perspective on the phenomenon, which can also be seen from orbit on occasion. Earlier this month, NASA shared a snap of a whirlwind taken by its Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft.

This may mark the Perseverance rover's first dust devil sighting, but it won't be its last. NASA's other functioning Mars rover, Curiosity, has seen its share of the feisty vortexes. 

Dust devils aren't just fun to look at, they can also be helpful to robotic explorers. NASA has been hoping a whirlwind will come along to clean off the dust-laden solar panels of its stationary Insight lander.

Perseverance is just beginning its science mission, so we can look forward to more scenic shots of the wild winds on Mars.

Rock Found In Sahara Desert Is Older Than Earth, It's 4.5 Billion Years Old

The meteorite is 58 percent silicon dioxide that suggests that it is an ancient parent body with a crust made from andesite rock -- different from basalt rock that’s otherwise commonly found in volcanic regions around our planet. They reveal that these crusts were commonly found in asteroids and protoplanets during the solar system’s early days but have become extremely rare today. 

The study was led by Jean-Alix Barrat, a professor of geochemistry at the University of Western Brittany, in France. She explained in the study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, “EC 002 is clearly distinguishable from all asteroid groups, and no object with spectral characteristics similar to EC 002 has been identified to date,” while claiming that “the remnants of primordial crusts are not only rare in the meteorite record, but they are also rare today in the asteroid belt.”

MAINE MINERAL AND GEM MUSEUM/ DARRYL PITT

Researchers added, “This suggests that the earliest differentiated protoplanets that populated the solar system, as well as most of their debris, were certainly destroyed or subsequently accreted to the growing rocky planets, making the discovery of meteorites originating from primordial crusts an exceptional occurrence.”

They are of the belief that EC 002 was ejected from its parent body, decades after the protoplanet’s crust cooled and crystallized while also showcasing details about the evolving cores of the planets in a time when Earth didn’t exist.

Mars: Vast amount of water may be locked up on planet

By Paul Rincon
Science editor, BBC News website

{ https://www.bbc.com/news }

Whether you believe extraterrestrials exist on other planets or in other galaxies, or you believe they’re already here, your challenge is to identify them – hopefully to welcome them to Earth. But, how can one do this if we don’t know what ETs look like? A zoologist has an answer and his new book might be the perfect handbook for both astronauts and the Earth welcoming committee – or the committee that decides whether the ETs are here to greet us, beat us or eat us.

“The most important rule is that life arises by natural selection. Life adapts to its environment. Complex aliens will have evolved from simple aliens, to solve the problems on their planet. Problems like finding food, avoiding becoming someone else’s food, and reproducing.”

University of Cambridge astrobiologist and zoologist Arik Kershenbaum is the author of a new book: “The Zoologist’s Guide to the Galaxy“. In an article in Science Focus, he explains that his zoological description of aliens is based on Darwin’s theory of evolution – specifically, the idea of natural selection. That idea would restrict the development of ETs just as it restricted the development of life on Earth, allowing species to move up based on successfully conquering the conditions of the moment. Kershenbaum believes that these “universal laws of biology” of biology are in effect on all planets regardless of their environments.

“Aliens will have predators, and they will have prey. Predators will need to be like predators on Earth: fast or stealthy – their prey won’t want to be eaten! Prey will need to defend themselves: by camouflage or by armour? And maybe, like on Earth, some creatures will solve their problems in a special way: by grouping together. Wolves hunt in a pack, and zebras stay in a herd to keep safe from lions. Some aliens will be solitary, but some will also be social.”

All of those things can happen in any environment, right? Kershenbaum gives some examples. If their planet is a water or liquid world, the aliens probably developed fins or jet propulsion – both effective means of movement in liquid. Legs win out on a solid surface over rolling, flopping and other methods of movement. Since the search for food is universal, the means to find it should be as well – combinations of the senses of touch, smell, sight and hearing would be successful developments on Mars or on exoplanets. Here’s another universal trait Kershenbaum sees.

“Symmetrical animals move so much faster than non-symmetrical ones, they have a real advantage. That doesn’t mean that circular (or even triangular) aliens are impossible. But think about how they evolved: why did they get an advantage by being circular or triangular? Maybe circular creatures could evolve in a bottomless ocean, where there’s no advantage to crawling.”

Symmetry means balance, which is required no matter how much or how little gravity a planet has. A New York Times review points out that Kershenbaum predicts some aliens will exhibit social cooperation, technology and language, and some will have intelligence – perhaps enough to do those things with us. The real question is … will there be some that are MORE intelligent than us?

Kershenbaum doesn’t provide any drawings of aliens or detailed descriptions – four eyes, eight arms, green skin, forked tongue, big head, pointy ears – but it’s easy to see that starting with “natural selection” ends up with ETs resembling life on Earth. Does this also mean that if there are aliens among us, they will evolve to look exactly like us?

Where’s Darwin when you need him?

It at first might not seem that scientists and the paranormal really get along most of the time. After all, paranormal phenomena are often seen by many as lying outside of the wheelhouse of science, and mainstream scientists are often likened to a sort of enemy in a sense, as they are seen as not willing to look into these strange things. However, science is not always the enemy, and there have indeed been very well-known, respected scientists who have gone down rabbit holes that lead them into the paranormal. One of these was a brilliant physicist who entertained the thought that humans could unknowingly exert psychic influence on the outside world around them, which he thought had also actually manifested in himself.

Austrian physicist, Nobel laureate, professor of theoretical physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and early pioneer in quantum mechanics, Wolfgang Ernst Pauli is largely considered to be one of the most brilliant physicists to have ever lived. He was the first to propose the existence of the neutrino in 1930, won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1945, was widely praised by Albert Einstein, won the Max Planck medal in 1958, and was instrumental to the development of many areas of theoretical physics and quantum theory. Pauli was highly respected among his peers, an impeccable scientific mind like no other, but he also had some rather strange ideas and oddness orbiting him, with one of these being what would later be called “The Pauli Effect.”

Wolfgang Ernst Pauli

It began when people, including Pauli himself, noticed that whenever he was around in a lab there was an inordinate number of freak mishaps and malfunctions of equipment. Almost without fail, when Pauli entered a lab, things would break, electrical systems would malfunction or go haywire, beakers would crack, bunsen burners would fail to ignite, and various equipment would either stop working or experience some sort of disturbance, with even fires breaking out on occasion. Colleagues jokingly referred to it as “The Pauli Effect,” stating as one of its laws “a functioning device and Wolfgang Pauli may not occupy the same room,” but as it continued it became very noticeable that it seemed to all be beyond coincidence and jokes. The effect even seemed to work through walls or across distances. One popular anecdote is that one time Pauli was passing the railway station of Göttingen, when at that moment several pieces of lab equipment at the nearby University of Göttingen exploded without any apparent reason. Similarly, another story has it that when Pauli was visiting Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study the Princeton University physics department’s massive cyclotron particle accelerator inexplicably burst into flames and burned for more than 6 hours before being put out.

As weird incidents like this increased in frequency, Pauli’s peers went from joking about it all to starting to believe there was something truly weird going on in the physicist’s presence, and that there was perhaps something to it. It is rumored that the experimental physicist Otto Stern once even banned Pauli from his lab for fear that he would break something or ruin an experiment. It is interesting to note how these serious, top level scientists were starting to elevate The Pauli Effect to a superstition, seeing it as beyond rational explanation. One science photographer by the name of David Fathi would once say of this:

I had a lot of problems trying to understand how some of the brightest minds of their time could give in to ideas that seem like pure superstition. But now I think that to work in a field like quantum physics, so abstract and far removed from common intuition, you probably have to be predisposed at thinking far out of the box, and you have to be creative and open to weird ideas.

Wolfgang Ernst Pauli

Pauli himself began to seriously consider that there was some as yet unexplained phenomenon behind it all, convinced that it was all real. This was not a big jump for him, as he was already curious about parapsychology and subscribed to C. G. Jung’s ideas on synchronicity, which Jung described as “circumstances that appear meaningfully related yet lack a causal connection,” as well as the hidden meaning of dreams. Pauli began to come up with some way to explain it all, theorizing that certain people had the ability to somehow affect technical equipment in their vicinity through forces not yet understood. Pauli was so convinced that this was a real mystery that he discussed it at length with Jung. One of his ideas was that this was due to a sort of psychokinesis, in which mental energy is projected to have an effect on physical surroundings. Pauli would say:

The existence of relatively constant psychic contents that survive personal ego…All we can observe is their effect on other living people, whose spiritual level and whose personal unconscious crucially influence the way these contents actually manifest themselves.

It is interesting that Pauli’s musings on this are some of the earlier ideas put forth on psychokinesis, in an era before it even had an official, agreed upon name. Pauli was never able to prove any of this, but he allegedly spent much time pondering it and writing of it in his journals. He often lamented that there was no way to prove any of this under strict lab conditions, that in the end it was mostly based on anecdotal evidence, and that it was probably doomed to forever remain misunderstood. However, he maintained that the Pauli Effect was real, that people could mentally influence surrounding objects and electronics right up until his death in 1958. So was this just superstition among scientists or was there anything to it at all? It is hard to know just how grounded this was in reality, but it remains a curious little piece of lore merging science and the paranormal, as well as a strange little historical curiosity.

Mars Life Past and Present

It’s almost a mantra these days: find life on the Red Planet. That’s why we’ve sent so many probes to Mars since the early 1960s. Each orbiter, lander, and rover was sent to look for evidence of Mars life in places like the scene above. This is the Octavia E. Butler Landing site for the Perseverance rover. The rocky outcrop in the short distance is a sedimentary deposit that was once part of a river delta. On Earth, this would be a perfect place to look for life.

Since the Martian surface is so barren-looking, the search for evidence of life—or, for life itself—has to be painstaking. There are no trees or plants or Martians waving at our cameras. All we see are rocks, plains, craters, mountains, and ice caps. Yet, those areas all hold clues to the Mars of the past. Those clues may even point to the existence of life there today. We just have to keep collecting data to find it.

It’s interesting to think about how we’d do the same search on Earth if we were, in fact, Martians. First, we’d train telescopes on Earth and try to figure out what the markings on the surface were. The blue color is a pretty strong hint of water on the planet. The clouds would also provide clues about the atmosphere and how “wet” it is. On the landmasses, some areas do change color with the seasons, but you’d need stronger proof than that. So, we theoretical Martians would send spacecraft with cameras, spectrometers, and other instruments, to get “up close” images and data.

Looking for Life in Hard Places

What if we theoretical Martians happened to land our spacecraft on Earth and managed to totally miss the oceans? There are some really barren parts of Earth that look totally devoid of life. Imagine showing up at the dry Antarctic valleys or the high altitude deserts of Chile. What conclusions would we come to about the possibility of life on the planet? What would we be looking for there in terms of life?

Such extreme environments would not necessarily be barren, particularly if there’s any water available. According to Nathalie Cabrol, director of the Carl Sagan Center for Research at the SETI Institute, life-hunters from another world would probably be searching out microbes. There are extreme environmental conditions in some of Earth’s areas that seem barren to us but definitely support thriving microbial colonies. “You can walk on the same landscape for miles and find nothing,” she points out. “Then, maybe…the slope changes by a fraction of a degree. Or, the texture or the mineralogy of the soil is different because there is more protection from solar ultraviolet light. And, all of a sudden, life is here.”

Getting back to Mars, then, is to consider that the Red Planet is a whole world of extreme environments that are similar—but much harsher than—what we see on Earth. And, what matters on Mars, is to look for clues that life might exist there now. The first clue is the existence of water. The second clue might be to look in a relatively protected area. That might be just underneath the surface regolith. Or, perhaps, underground in a hydrothermal system rich with water or in subsurface ice. Microbes might even be hidden away in something as unexpected as a crack in the crystalline structure of a rock.

Life is Tenacious

On a world full of extreme environments such as Mars has, it makes much more sense to analyze it as an extreme biosphere. You can’t assume that Mars life will be like it is on Earth or that life will just migrate to places based on what we know about Earth.

Think of it this way: if you grow up in a wet climate, you’re going to think about safe places to live in a way that’s very different from a being that grew up in a very dry, inhospitable climate. Desert-dwellers here on Earth know this all too well and they can find sustenance in places that rain-forest dwellers wouldn’t even notice. Maybe Mars life has experienced such a change in environments through no fault of its own.

Past Mars and Current Mars

We all know that Mars was very different in the ancient past. The ancient Martian biosphere was warmer and wetter, at least for a time. But, it had to change when the conditions changed that supported that life. Today, any microbial colonies are living under vastly different conditions than they did in the past. When the environment shifted on Mars, so did the habitats. That change happened about 3.5 billion years ago. Before that, any life that existed was dispersed around the planet through the actions of rivers and oceans, windstorms, and other actions. Today, wind and dust storms still exist, and they could be an active transport mechanism for whatever life is eking out an existence.

Cabrol thinks that there is, indeed, Mars life today. However, it’s obviously not on the surface. That means the habitats are underground. If this is correct, then the ongoing observations of Mars by our spacecraft and landers will certainly give us good data on the surface conditions, but we’ll have to modify our definition of what are called “special regions” (where life could exist).

Understanding Mars Life and Habitats

What’s it going to take to understand the existence of microbial life on Mars, given that it’s hidden from our view? Mars scientists need a lot more data about Mars on a global scale, particularly the environment. That’s a big first step towad understanding the Martian biosphere. Even more crucial, they don’t yet have a way to “see” the regions where microbes could be existing now. That’s going to take ever-more specialized missions, and eventually, a “bootprints on Mars” human exploration approach to the search for life there. For the time being, however, we are learning more each day from rovers such as the Perseverance craft, which is just beginning its exploration of the Red Planet.

Giants, Ancient Aliens, Hidden Human Origins & Escaping The Prison Planet

Brad Olsen joins me on this episode of KBS & the conversation that ensued was mind blowing! We discuss Brad’s latest book ‘Beyond Esoteric’ & our conversation covers so many of the topics found in the book. From giants & the Announaki, all the way to the holographic nature of reality & how we escape the matrix, we cover it all, and then some!

We open up the conversation by diving into the world of giant skeletons. Brad covers this extensively in the book & its also something that we talk about a lot on KBS. Brad talks the giant skeletons that were discovered in the Love Lock caves in 1912. As is the case with so many of these types of discoveries, information about the find was quickly suppressed by the Smithsonian Institute. This is something that multiple guests have covered on the show before.

What some people might not know is that its rumored that the billionaire Robert Bigalow purchased one of the Love Lock cave giant skeletons. Bigalow is a very interesting character & the man behind Bigalow Aerospace, the organisation that was working with the  Pentagon’s AATIP (Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program) on advanced projects & allegedly working with materials covered from downed alien technology.

Bigalow was also the one time owner of Skin Walker Ranch, a location that arguably, as we cover on the show, some kind of active stargate with crafts coming & going all the time, in addition to the other high strangeness associated with the property in Utah. One thing I will say for sure is that Bigalow sure does have a thirst for all the types of information & woo that we here on KBS crave to know more about.

Back to the show & we also talk about elongated skulls. One of the skulls we discuss comes from Chullpa in Peru. The image below shows the type of skulls we discuss on the show & really must make one question just what it is we are looking at. Is it just the result of binding as main stream antropologists & archaeologists would have us believe? Or could it be that we are looking at a lost race of humans, or perhaps this is evidence of the giants & maybe, just maybe…. ancient aliens!

HIDDEN HISTORY

If you have followed the shows here on KBS then you will be well aware of my fascination with history, archaeology & just where it is we come from. Its with this in mind that I get Brad to talk about the amazing location in Texas that appears to show dinosaur footprints & human foot prints together, set in stone from millions of years ago. I mean, how can you see that & not wonder just what on earth the actual timeline of the human story looks like

I also get Brad to talk about the idea that Australia is in fact the cradle of civilization, and as opposed to the ‘out of Africa’ theory, how about the ‘into Africa’ idea, and im thinking more along the lines of ‘out of Australia’! Brad adds to this by talking about his time down under & gets into how some of the oldest knowledge comes from the Aboriginal people of Australia

We also talk about a recent video I watched with Michael Tellinger presenting evidence of a potential giant foot print set in granite in South Africa. I get Brad to discuss this & more evidence of giants.

THE ANNOUNAKI

I get Brad to talk about the story of the Announaki & what evidence there may be in our own DNA that there was some kind of genetic manipulation in the past.

Brad talks about the work of Zacharia Sitchen & the arrival of a race of aliens called the Announaki. Its said that these beings came down here to mine gold to use in their own atmosphere of their home planet that is called Niburu. Brad talks about the Rh Negative factor in the blood & how it just appeared out of nowhere. Something strange is going on here for sure & add to that the Rh Negative people having traits that the rest of the population dont have. Are we looking at evidence of ancient aliens using something akin to CRISP-R kits to create a species that would mine the gold for them?

I have often thought about the story of the Announaki & there is something that rings true in my opinion. Whether or not they did come here is always going to be up for debate, but try and think about it this way…. if we eventually end up an interplanetary civilization that is out there exploring the galaxy, what would we do if we came across a habitable planet that was rich with priceless resources? I’ve thought about this, and I cant get away from the notion we would be right down there to get our hands on the loot, and we sure as hell would use CRISP-R kits on any creature that we may be able to enhance genetically to our advantage. So, if we would do it in our future, which i think we will, then who is to say that it hasn’t already happened here?

This is one of the amazing things about being alive at this unique time. We have so much information at our fingertips, like at no other time in recorded history, that we know of anyway & I dont think its an accident its all come together at a time when everything is going through great changes. We are living in apocalyptic times, in the truest meaning of the word, for the ‘apocalypse’ is the revealing of everything, good & bad, and that is what is going on right now. Yes, these truly are some of the most testing of times, but as we discuss on the show, both Brad & I are optimistic about the future. Things may actually get worse before they get better, but never forget, the darkest hour always comes right before the down.

Please listen to the conversation with Brad, keep an open mind & make sure you share it with just one other person. We cant change the world overnight, but we can change the worlds of those around us. Think global, act local & never forget this….. YOU ARE THE CHANGE YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR IN THIS WORLD!

Out Of Australia Theory, ET Skulls & Our Alien Ancestry

• http://kevbakershow.com/

Where do we come from? Did we really come out of Africa like the ‘experts’ tell us? What if our history has it completely wrong? Well, its just so happens that we didn’t come out of Africa & in this episode of KBS you will hear an alternative theory, one backed by science.

Forget Africa, think Australia!

Steven & Evan Strong joined me all the way from Australia to discuss their “Forgotten Origin: Out Of Australia Theory”. We talk about the evidence for humans coming out of Australia & also get into their latest work on “Our Alien Ancestry”.

Steven & Evan have been working for over 15 years on piecing together the oldest story ever told. Its a story that has been passed down orally through the generations & remains a part of the Dreamtime.

The Dreamtime is a commonly used term for describing important features of Aboriginal spiritual beliefs and existence. It is not generally well understood by non-indigenous people.

Aboriginals believe that the Dreamtime was way back, at the very beginning. The land and the people were created by the Spirits. They made the rivers, streams, water holes the land, hills, rocks, plants and animals. It is believed that the Spirits gave them their hunting tools and each tribe its land, their totems and their Dreaming.

Steven & Evan present the stories of the Elders relating to the time of our creation. They also get into the scientific evidence that backs up the “Out Of Australia Theory”. We discuss how some of the oldest skeletons found the in the US were unmistakably Australian in origin. This hints to the First Nations people of Australia making it all the way around the world, with evidence of their presence in countries like Egypt & beyond.

One of the most jaw dropping pieces of evidence that we get into on the show is the image of a skull that Steven helped to excavate. This is one of the skulls that point towards something very alien going on in Australia at one time & whats even more interesting is that this was found buried next to Aboriginal people, something that typically would never happen if we were dealing with a deformity or mutation.

From the FORGOTTEN ORIGIN website….

The “Moon People”(21) in Australia

We are aware of four skulls spread across three states separated by over 2,000 kilometres, that tick no sapien or hominid box. They are not mutations, as the skulls come from four different tribal estates, and more importantly, at the burial site I examined the Alien being was fully intact buried with great respect. His knees and arms were wedged up against her chest and the body was facing east. The two front teeth were extracted, and the removal was clean as nothing remained. This type of ceremony was still taking place on this country until Cook and the British invaded. So, with this combination of numbers and ritual, we can summarily dismiss any notion of a lesser mutation or genetic cul-de-sac.

Undeniably the size of the eye sockets of the reconstructed skull made from eight pieces from another site, more than fifty photographs of the complete buried skeleton and skull plus the other two skulls found elsewhere, is massive by comparison. We feel the reconstructed skull is male, as it is two centimetres larger than his colleague at the burial site. This non-hominid has eyes 46% larger than those of any sapien. But there is more than just big eyes to this deviation from the human norm, much more.

Just above the eyes is something we all share, an eyebrow ridge which has a slight depression between the eyes. However, that is not the case here, in the same place the opposite is occurring, in that between the eyes is a protruding crest. Also positioned between the eyes is of course the nose, it is a composite construction being partially bone, but primarily ligament. For sapien skulls that non-bone segment leaves a circular shaped hole, when it comes to the Alien being the residual shape is much larger and more triangular. Remaining at this unusual nasal display, this non-hominid has a nose that begins over a centimetre higher than ours.

THE ULURU CEREMONY

Steven & Evan describe a ceremony that took place at Uluru in December last year. They talk about how the Australian government did everything they could to prevent people gathering at Uluru for a ceremony that the elders explained had to take place at this time due to the changes we & the planet on the whole are going through.

We talk about intention frequently on the show & what took place in December is phenomenal. There were approx 15 million people all around the world doing focused meditation & at the very same time there was a significant uptick in the Schumann resonance of the planet. We look at some of the other evidence that great changes are taking place right now, within us, within the animals, everything is going through change.

One thing we touch on close to the end of the show is how to best navigate through these times. It’s hard to accept, but not everyone is going to fully wake up & move on to the next level. Around the world people are starting to ask more & more questions as this awakening picks up pace. Its important to remember that you are on your personal journey & its your journey, no one else.

On the flip side of that, we encourage people not to spend too much time trying to convince people to $$wake up, because unfortunately the time for that has passed. Its easy to see this as being selfish, but its truly not. For you are responsible for the journey you are on, as is everyone else & we all have free will. All we can do is sow seeds along the way in the hope that one day they will take root & help others in their journeys, but if not, its ok.

With so much going on in the world right now its very easy to get emotionally caught up in things. Online there has never been such division & its no coincidence that its happening right now at this time of great change.

We need to reconnect with the planet, the animal, the cosmos, for we are all from the stars… and one day soon we may just make it back there.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/SHOWS ON THE TOPIC

For some time we have been extremely blessed to have come into contact with so many amazing people from Australia. They have been long time listeners to KBS & in recent times have become regular speakers on the show.

I must state here how grateful I am to archaeologists Dan & Jessica Knigge for putting us in contact with Uncle Donny & Auntie Luna, both of whom have shared information that rarely is given away so freely to us White Fellas. Its an honor for me to help them get their message out to people who need to hear these stories for all our Elders.

We are very lucky indeed to have so much wisdom being shared on the show at a time when people need to hear this information most.

For if we want to move forward & make it our future, we must look backwards to the past so we can remember who we are, where we come from & where we are going.

Below is a play list of the shows we have done so far on the Out Of Australia subject & includes the episodes with Uncle Donny & Auntie Luna

Stephen Hawking has been gone for three years this month, but he lives on in reruns of “The Big Bang Theory,” “The Simpsons” and “Futurama,” as well as in physics, cosmology and the many other fields his genius influenced. Now he has a chance to be famous in the far reaches of the solar system in a new(ish) but unproven theory that the mysterious Planet Nine exists, but not as a planet. Searching for Hawking radiation, some scientists think they can prove it’s actually a black hole using a high-speed spacecraft flyby. Could proving this convince the cast to reunite for one more “The Big Bang Theory” and toast Stephen Hawking?

I was right!

“Since this planet has not yet been observationally found with conventional telescope research, it has been argued that it could be a dark compact object, namely a black hole of probably primordial origin. Within this assumption, we discuss the possibility of detecting Planet 9 via a sub-relativistic spacecraft fly-by and the measure of its Hawking radiation in the radio band and conclude that it is too faint compared to the CMB. We thus present other perspectives with rather a satellite mission and conclude that smaller black holes would give much more interesting signals. We emphasize the importance of the study of such Hawking radiation laboratories in the Solar System.”

In a pre-print paper titled “Detecting Planet 9 via Hawking radiation” and another titled “Hawking radiation by spherically-symmetric static black holes for all spins: I — Teukolsky equations and potentials,” Alexandre Arbey and Jérémy Auffinger from the University of Lyon explain – in detail far beyond this writer’s pay grade – that a planet’s Hawking radiation would be too weak to detect with Earth telescopes but that of small black hole might be unusual enough to be picked up. It could then be inspected by a next generation New Horizons-style spacecraft designed to fly faster and farther. That mission would also help pinpoint its location so that more powerful telescopes could look at it.

“Nevertheless, if P9 were indirectly localized using for example spacecraft trajectory measurements or LSST flares, an orbital mission would be of great importance to study the properties of black holes and Hawking radiation, and would allow for more advanced measurement techniques, for example by screening the CMB and focusing the antenna on P9. Finally, we extrapolated the present discussion to lighter PBHs that could have been captured by the gravitational field of the Sun and concluded on the advantages of these configurations for the detection of Hawking radiation, since their emissivity would be dominant as compared to the CMB.”

In essence, Black Hole 9 would be the closest black hole to Earth, thus making black hole research much easier to accomplish. This would help all astronomers by providing more data on how to better search the Cosmic Microwave Background for the anomalies that indicate black holes and more. Finally, it would open the door to the possibility that the Sun has more primordial black holes in its grasp than just Black Hole/Planet 9.

Stephen Hawking

If Hawking radiation really proves that Planet 9 is actually Black Hole 9, what would Stephen Hawking say? Not sure about that, but there’s a good chance that if he reads this “way out of my league” review, he’d says something like he did to another poor soul on “The Big Bang Theory”:

“You made an arithmetic mistake on page 2. It was quite a boner.”

In 1977, the FBI declassified its UFO files under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. It was something that led to close to 2,000 pages of UFO-themed material being placed into the public domain. Since then, even more UFO-connected material has been made available by the FBI for one and all to see – such as files on cattle mutilations, the so-called Conatctees (George Adamski, George Van Tassel and so on), and UFO research groups. One of the first pages of material the FBI released back in 1977 was a letter sent, in the summer of 1947, to the FBI by a scientist. His name: Edwin M. Bailey. He was also a man who had some deep worries about the suddenly growing UFO phenomenon. Probably because of Bailey’s standing, the FBI didn’t waste any time in contacting him for a chat. J. Edgar Hoover’s agents were keen to see what Bailey had to say. After all, this was the dawning of the “Flying Saucer” age and just about everyone was fascinated by what was afoot.

In their papers on Bailey, the FBI stated: “Bailey prefaced his remarks by stating that he is a scientist by occupation and is currently employed at the American Cyanamid Research Laboratories on West Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut, in the Physics Division. Bailey further indicated that during the war he was employed at MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the Radiation Laboratory which Laboratory is connected with the Manhattan Project. Bailey advised that he is thirty years of age and is a graduate of the University of Arizona.”

Before I continue with the story, here’s a bit of background on Bailey’s employer, American Cyanamid Research Laboratories: “American Cyanamid Company was a leading American conglomerate which became one of the nation’s top 100 manufacturing companies during the 1970s and 1980s, according to the Fortune 500 listings at the time. Founded by Frank Washburn in 1907, the company grew to over 100,000 employees worldwide, and had over 200,000 shareholders by the mid-1970s. Its stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ACY. It was repeatedly reorganized after the mid-1990s, merged with other firms, and saw brands and divisions sold or spun off. The bulk of the former company is now part of Pfizer, with smaller portions belonging to BASF, Procter & Gamble and other firms.

“Although originally a manufacturer of agricultural chemicals the product line was soon broadened into many different types of industrial chemicals and specialty chemicals. The company then diversified into synthetic fibers, pharmaceuticals, surgical products, plastics, and inorganic pigments before World War II; and later added, by acquisitions, cosmetic and toiletry products, perfumes, building products, home building, and several smaller product categories following World War II.”

The FBI continued and listened carefully to Bailey’s thoughts on the Flying Saucer mystery. In the FBI’s records we’re provided the following on the man and his ideas: “Bailey stated that the topic of ‘flying saucers’ had caused considerable comment and concern to the present day scientists and indicated that he himself had a personal theory concerning the ‘flying saucers.’ Prior to advancing his own theory, Bailey remarked that immediately after the conclusion of World War II, a friend of his, [Deleted], allegedly observed the ‘flying saucers’ from an observatory in Milan and Bologna, Italy. He stated that apparently at the time the ‘flying saucers’ had caused a little comment in Italy but that after some little publicity they immediately died out as public interest. Bailey stated that it is quite possible that actually the ‘flying saucers’ could be radio controlled germ bombs or atom bombs which are circling the orbit of the earth and which could be controlled by radio and directed to land on any designated target at the specific desire of the agency or country operating the bombs.”

Although just about everything Bailey said – and suspected, too – was speculative, the FBI was concerned by the matter of those “germ bombs.” Whether the FBI may have heard of such theories from other people, I don’t know; the files don’t make that clear. That Bailey became of interest to the FBI, though, showed that when the UFO enigma began on June 24, 1947 – the date on which the famous Kenneth Arnold case took place – J. Edgar Hoover’s agents were taking things carefully and quickly. Maybe with a degree of concern, too.

Dozens of new Dead Sea Scroll fragments bearing biblical text are discovered in Israel's 'Cave of Horror' having been hidden during a Jewish revolt against Rome 1,900 years ago

• The fragments of ancient parchment were discovered in the 'Cave of Horror' which is south of Jerusalem 

• This is the first item discovered from an archaeological dig in the Judean Desert in more than 60 years 

• The pieces of parchment found inside the cave include Greek lines of biblical text from Zechariah and Nahum

• Other items found in the cave include a 10,000 year old woven basket and the skeleton of a young girl 

By RYAN MORRISON FOR MAILONLINE 

Dozens of new Dead Sea Scroll fragments thought to have been hidden during a Jewish revolt against Rome 1,900 years ago have been found in a cave. 

The fragments include lines of Greek text from the biblical books of Zechariah and Nahum and were radiocarbon dated to the 2nd century AD, experts confirmed.  

The Israel Antiquities Authority say more than 20 fragments were found in a remote canyon in the Judean Desert, south of Jerusalem - the first find of its kind in 60 years.

They were discovered in the Cave of Horror, named in the 1950s after 40 skeletons of women, men and children were found after excavations - they were hiding from Roman soldiers during the 2nd century Jewish Bar Kochba Revolt.

To get into the cave, which is well secluded from view and difficult to access, teams of archaeologists and other experts had to repel down the side of a 260ft cliff. 

A number of items were found in the cave, including a 10,000 year old woven basket, the skeleton of a girl dating back 6,000 years and the biblical fragments.

They were discovered in clumps and rolled up within the cave - so far 11 lines of Greek text translated from the books of Zechariah and Nahum have been revealed.

CAVE OF HORROR: 40 SKELETONS FOUND IN THE 1950s

The new pieces are believed to belong to a larger set of parchment fragments that include a Greek rendition of the Twelve Minor Prophets.

It is thought the newly found fragments are the missing parts of those scrolls, which were first found in 1952. They include Micah's prophecy about the End of Days. 

The IAA explained that while it is written in Greek, the new scroll fragments include the name of God in ancient Hebrew letters from the First Temple Period. 

The scrolls themselves come from a time before the modern 'Old Testament' was finalised in the form we know it today, experts explained. 

The fragments were found in a site known as The Cave Of Horror, which lies in the southern cliff of Nahal Hever, near the Cave of Letters where many documents from the Bar Kochba Revolt were uncovered.

The revolt involved an armed Jewish uprising against Rome during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, between 132 and 136 AD. 

The revolt was the result of religious and political tensions in Judea, linked to the establishment of a large Roman military presence in the region. 

When the cave was excavated in the 1950s archaeologists found skeletons of 40 men, women and children who had sought refuge in the cave during the revolt.

A basket believed to be around 10,500 years old and found in the Muraba'at Cave.

The lid of a basket discovered that could be 10,500 years old based on radiocarbon dating. That pre-dates the arrival of pottery in the region 

There was also a cache of coins from the same time period, bearing the typical Jewish symbols of the time including a harp and date palm. 

The remains of a Roman camp have previously been found on a cliff close to where the cave is located. Researchers believe the Romans besieged the cave until rebels inside starved to death or succumbed to thirst. 

As well as the fragments, the team also found what could be the oldest surviving basket in the world, made of woven reeds. 

The artefacts were found during an operation by the Israel Antiquities Authority in the Judean Desert to find scrolls and other artefacts to prevent possible plundering

They were found in a site known as The Cave Of Horror, named for the 40 skeletons found there during excavations in the 1960s, experts explained

It has a lid and could be 10,500 years old based on radiocarbon dating. That pre-dates the arrival of pottery in the region. 

'As far as we know, this is the oldest basket in the world that has been found completely intact and its importance is therefore immense,' said the IAA. 

The archaeologists also uncovered the skeleton of a young girl dating back about 6,000 years that had been mummified and tucked into a blanket.

'It was obvious that whoever buried the child had wrapped him up and pushed the edges of the cloth beneath him, just as a parent covers his child in a blanket. A small bundle of cloth was clutched in the child's hands,' said historian Ronit Lupu. 

It is thought the scrolls and basket survived due to the heat and aridity in the region.

'The desert team showed exceptional courage, dedication and devotion to purpose,' said Israel Hasson, director of the Israel Antiquities Authority.

He said the work involved 'rappelling down to caves located between heaven and earth, digging and sifting through them, enduring thick and suffocating dust, and returning with gifts of immeasurable worth for mankind.'

'The newly discovered scroll fragments are a wake-up call to the state. Resources must be allocated for the completion of this historically important operation.  

'We must ensure that we recover all the data that has not yet been discovered in the caves before the robbers do. Some things are beyond value,' Hasson said. 

The objects were discovered as part of a wider mission to find prehistoric and biblical relics in the region to reduce the risk of looting.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of Jewish texts found in desert caves in the West Bank near Qumran in the 1940s and 1950s.

They date from the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD and include the earliest known copies of biblical text and documents.

The original scrolls were found by shepherd Muhammed Edh-Dhib as he searched for a stray among the limestone cliffs at Khirbet Qumran on the shores of the Dead Sea in what was then British Mandate Palestine - now the West Bank.

Fragments of various ancient finds from the cave reveal an insight into the long history of the region from the Neolithic through to biblical periods and Roman occupation

Fragments of ancient arrowheads from prehistoric and Roman eras were also among the items discovered within the cave

The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered between 1946 and 1956 and date back 2,000 years

Discovered between 1946 and 1956, the Dead Sea Scrolls are a collection of 972 ancient manuscripts dating back to 2,000 years ago.

The texts include tends of thousands of parchment and papyrus fragments and in rare cases entire manuscripts.  

They contain parts of what is now known as the Hebrew Bible as well as a range of extra-biblical documents.

The scrolls were found by shepherd Muhammed Edh-Dhib as he searched for a stray among the limestone cliffs at Khirbet Qumran on the shores of the Dead Sea in what was then British Mandate Palestine - now the West Bank.

The story goes that in a cave in the dark crevice of a steep rocky hillside, Muhammed hurled a stone into the dark interior and was startled to hear the sound of breaking pots.

The Dead Sea Scrolls, which include tends of thousands of parchment and papyrus fragments (file photo), contain parts of what is now known as the Hebrew Bible. They also feature a range of extra-biblical documents

Venturing inside, the young Bedouin found a mysterious collection of large clay jars in which he found old scrolls, some wrapped in linen and blackened with age.

The texts have since been excavated by archaeologists, who are now racing to digitise their contents before they deteriorate beyond legibility.

The texts are of great historical and religious significance and include the earliest known surviving copies of biblical and extra-biblical documents, as well as preserving evidence of diversity in late Second Temple Judaism.

Dated to between 408BC and 318AD, they are written in Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Nabataean, mostly on parchment, but with some written on papyrus and bronze.

The scrolls are traditionally divided into three groups.

'Biblical' manuscripts, which are copies of texts from the Hebrew Bible comprise 40 per cent of the haul.

Several items of historical significance have been found in a cave in the Judean Desert. The most incredible find was a 2,000-year-old biblical scroll which makes it the first time that such an item has been found since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the 1940s and 1950s.

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and the Archaeology Department of the Civil Administration conducted several very difficult operations to explore all the caves in the area, although only about 80 kilometers (50 miles) of caves have been surveyed so far during their operation and around half of it still hasn’t been touched.

The scroll and other artifacts were found at a location called the “Cave of Horror” (named after 40 human skeletons were found there in the 1950s) in the Judean Desert reserve’s Nahal Hever. The cave, which is located about 80 meters (262 feet) beneath the clifftop, is only accessible by rappelling down with ropes.

Bronze coins were found in the cave (not a photo of the ones mentioned in this article.)

The scroll, which had passages from the Minor Prophets (which included Nahum), were written in Greek, however, God’s name was in paleo-Hebrew. In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Dr. Oren Ableman from the IAA Dead Sea Scroll Unit explained the biblical texts in further detail, “More than 80 fragments of different sizes have been uncovered, some of them carrying text, some not.” “Based on the script, we dated them to the end of the first century BCE, which means that by the time it was brought to the cave, the scroll was already a century old.”

The scroll referenced the biblical Book of Zechariah with one of the excerpts containing a version never seen before where the word “gates” was replaced by “streets” in Verses 16 and 17 of the eighth chapter.

The biblical texts weren’t the only significant items found in the cave. Numerous bronze coins that were minted by the Jewish rebels who were under Bar Kokhba’s leadership were discovered with a palm tree and vine leaf on them.

What may be the world’s oldest basket was recovered from the cave as well. The woven basket, which could hold up to 90 liters, dates back approximately 10,500 years – an astonishing 1,000 years before pottery was invented.

An ancient basket was also found (not a photo of the one mentioned in this article.)

Exceptionally well preserved human remains belonging to a child (between 6 and 12 years of age) who lived around 6,000 years ago were also found. IAA prehistorian Ronit Lupu explained how they found the child’s skeleton, “By moving two flat stones, we discovered a shallow pit intentionally dug beneath them, containing a skeleton of a child placed in a fetal position,” adding, “It was obvious that whoever buried the child had wrapped him up and pushed the edges of the cloth beneath him, just as a parent covers his child in a blanket.”

Pictures of the artifacts found in the cave can be seen here.

Do Supermassive Black Holes Come From Supermassive Stars?

The gargantuan supermassive black holes at the center of seemingly every galaxy are among the most fascinating and extreme objects known to modern astronomy and cosmology. With masses well in excess of millions, and sometimes billions that of our Sun, it is nearly impossible to comprehend the extraordinary size of these celestial leviathans. One of the great mysteries of modern astrophysics is answering how such enormous objects got started. In a press release published on March 10th, researchers propose that the origins of supermassive black holes may lie with long since extinct, first-generation stars with masses far above the most massive stars in the modern Universe. Not only do they propose such giants existed, but also they suggest that they’ve found a way to detect a particular subset of these stars. This breakthrough is thanks to our old friend, Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.

The most massive stars in the Universe today weigh in near 150 solar masses. The primordial supermassive stars thought to be the origin or seed of supermassive black holes are believed to be orders of magnitude more massive. We’re talking in the 10,000-100,000 solar mass range! When stars enter this mass regime, their behavior is markedly different than that of more modern and modestly massive stars. 

When these vast stars burn out at the end of their lives, the gravity is so strong that they can collapse directly into a black hole without the spectacular supernova explosions that we associate with massive star death today. This poses a real problem when it comes to detecting these events. Obviously, black holes are dark, and without a bright, signature supernova, these extreme stars would be rendered essentially undetectable. Keep in mind that since these stars only existed for a short time during the earliest stages of galaxy formation in the young Universe. We can only see their neighborhoods by looking billions of light-years away, and thus billions of years into the past. 

I spoke with one of the lead researchers about the ingenious, relativistic solution to this seemingly unsolvable mystery. Dr. Ke-Jung Chen of Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics in Taipei, Taiwan, commented on a ‘sweet spot’ in the mass of these stars revealed by extensive modeling.

“The model showed that at about 55,000 solar masses, there was a very interesting behavior due to general relativity.” Chen explained, “…because Einstein says the energy of everything, photons, gas, etc., contribute to the gravity field. The pressure starts to contribute to the gravitational field… it starts a violent nuclear reaction and then releases a large amount of energy and a supernova explosion.” 

Dr. Chen went on to explain that this occurs only at the sweet spot of 55,000 solar masses. Less than that and the relativistic contribution is too little to cause these particular violent nuclear reactions. More and the gravity is so extreme that everything ends up within the black hole and all we see is darkness. With the billions of galaxies out on the edge of the observable universe, it is incredibly likely that at least some of these goldilocks 55,000 solar mass supernovae should be detectable.

Another question that immediately comes to mind when considering these primordial stellar giants: Why don’t we see stars this size in the modern Universe? 

“We believe a supermassive star can only form in the early Universe. This is because of metals, that is, elements other than hydrogen and helium. In the Big Bang, we only have hydrogen and helium and a tiny amount of lithium. We don’t have carbon, oxygen, elements required to make life, etc. Because those (metals) elements have large atomic numbers and many electrons in their orbits, they can form molecules and compounds. This will cool the (surrounding) gas efficiently, leading to collapse and the formation of a star cluster.” Essentially, without heavy elements leading to local cooling and condensation of gas clouds, a large volume of gas in the predominantly hydrogen and helium environment of the early Universe is more likely to collapse into a supermassive star rather than a multitude of stars as we see in the open clusters of the modern Universe. This conversation also highlights a fun habit of astronomers that drives some chemists mad, which is referring to all elements heavier than hydrogen and helium as metals!

Chen described his hopes for detecting the signature supernovae of those supermassive stars whose mass happens to land right on the 55,000 solar mass sweet spot. “These observations are possible, especially for the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope.” If so, the observations will shed light on the very nature of galaxy formation and evolution itself. 

The fundamental nature of supermassive black holes may be linked to these supermassive stars. Sweet spot supernovae may light the way to a new era of cosmology. Dr. Chen beams with a sense of curiosity and a passion for discovery and exploration when describing his research. It’s hard not to feel the same sense of excitement, both for the fantastic observational and theoretical achievements that have led us here and the massive (pun intended) discoveries just around the corner.

I was searching through a Mercury map from the old Messenger mission and found something that really struck me. It was a square structure on the inside of a crater. It was actually attached and built into the crater. This looks like an alien structure to me. The small square area has four perfect 90 degrees angles...just as any square building might have. This is not a small structure. Its about 1.5km across by 1.5km. Not sure how anyone at NASA could have missed it. This thing really stands out. This is 100% proof that aliens are living on Mercury right now.

UFO Over St Petersburg, Florida April 29, 2016, UFO Sighting News. MUFON

Date of sighting: April 29, 2016

Location of sighting: St Petersburg, Florida, USA

Here is an old case I wanted to take a closer look at. A long cigar shaped UFO crossed the sunset over Florida back in 2016. But what was it? In the video at the end, I made a close up, then another close up with added contrast to show more detail. Also the above screenshot shows its true shape. Notice the front of the craft has a hard right angle to it. It doesn't resemble any known craft. The huge craft was heading into the depths of the Gulf of Mexico where an alien base sits, about 6km below the ocean floor. This video is 100% proof that aliens exist and have bases here on Earth.

Last year on April 8, 2021, a farmer noticed a strange glowing light in the sky above the fields of his farm in Sandy, Oregon.

He observed the object for 5 to 10 minutes and shot a video with the iPhone 7 no filters or editing was done. 

What could it be?

Brilliant SpaceX rocket launch sparks fireball reports along the US East Coast

The sensational, and also rightly questioned and criticized, story told of Corso’s alleged personal knowledge of the Roswell affair while serving with the military, and of the way in which he allegedly helped to advance the United States – both scientifically and militarily – by secretly feeding certain fantastic technologies found in the craft recovered at Roswell to U.S.-based private industries and defense contractors. Despite the fact that many have championed Corso as a solid proponent of the idea that extraterrestrials plunged to earth in New Mexico in 1947, in reality, Corso was willing to consider something very different. The unusual bodies found within the wreckage of the craft, Corso maintained, were genetically created beings designed to withstand the rigors of space flight, but they were not the actual creators of the UFO itself. Right up to the time of his death in 1998, Corso speculated on the distinct possibility that the U.S. Government might still have no real idea of who constructed the craft, or who genetically engineered the bodies found aboard or in the vicinity of the wreckage.

Corso gave much consideration to the idea that the Roswell UFO was a form of time machine, possibly even one designed and built by the denizens of an Earth of the distant future, rather than by the people of a faraway solar-system. Of course, it’s vital that I make it clear Corso’s story has been the subject of a great deal of intense debate – I don’t believe it. Bit, I do think it’s worth sharing the story for, if nothing else, a debate. Corso’s account relative to Roswell has been both vocally championed and loudly denounced. Others seem unsure what to make of it all. But, unfortunately for those trying to make some sense of the situation, Ufology has always been like that when it comes to matters of a highly volatile nature. We never get a definitive answer. It always ends up, to use a terrible but appropriate pun, in a “grey” area.

If history shows there’s nothing to the story of Philip Corso, then so be it. But, if there is even a small nugget of truth to the story, then here is something we should muse upon: Maybe, by studying the Roswell materials, officialdom has learned something deeply troubling and terrible about our future, something it dares not share with us, the populace at large. Ever. Is this, perhaps, the reason why the Roswell affair is one still shrouded in overwhelming secrecy, more than 60 years after it occurred? To paraphrase The X-Files, when it comes to UFOs and Roswell, “the truth” may not be “out there” after all. Instead, it might be countless millennia ahead of us.

The Alien Autopsy Footage Controversy... New Evidence Proves Authenticity

The Alien Autopsy Footage Controversy… New Evidence Proves Authenticity

The Alien Autopsy ignited controversy as one of the first pieces of evidence for alien contact. 25 years later, Paola Harris and Italian researcher Maurizio Baiata bring forth the evidence gathered to prove this leaked film is indeed authentic. In this conversation, Regina Meredith speaks with researcher Paola Harris and Maurizio Baiata, an Italian journalist and UFO researcher who was one of the first to see the autopsy footage.

They compare what was known then, with what has been discovered since. This initial discovery has been followed by many others, adding to the evidence that we are not alone.

The Secret Vatican Vaults... E.T. Visitations That Remain Concealed!

Rumor has long held that deep within the vaults of the Vatican library lie the answers we seek concerning extraterrestrial visitation upon our world. Through legal maneuvering, one man has chanced an encounter with these enigmatic documents, Daniel Sheehan. In this interview with Regina Meredith, he discusses the many trials and tribulations he endured as navigated the complex legal system which seems bent upon keeping this important information forever concealed.

Daniel Sheehan is a Harvard College, Harvard Law School and Harvard Divinity School-trained Constitutional Litigation and Appellate Attorney. Dan’s work as a Federal Civil Rights Attorney, Author, Public Speaker and College and Law School Educator has helped expose the structural sources of injustice in our country and around the world. In 1977, he served as a “Special Counsel” to the United States Library of Congress’ investigation into the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence that had been expressly requested by then President Jimmy Carter.

In 2001, Dan was invited to serve as General Counsel to The Disclosure Project.

Three Buildings On Moon, Seen Through Telescope, UFO Sighting News.

I was looking at a video by Youtuber 2018 Flatearth and noticed his 4k telescope was showing incredible detail. Even better than NASA shows in their maps and photos online. So I began to go through one of them. At 13:43 into a video I easily spotted three alien structures. The structures are each hidden inside of craters. Aliens do this to fool long distance astronomer into thinking "oh its shadows," or worse, "its rocks." But the detail here throws those two theories out the window. This 4k telescope is showing a whole new story to the moon. One that we haven't been told of before. 

 

The tools at our disposal are all around us. Just because others don't use those tools, doesn't mean they aren't useful for task. What I'm saying is...we no longer need NASA, when we can produce better quality video and photos than they can.

Crew member Shomuddro Bilas who witnessed the strange appearance in the sky states: 

On March 12, 2021, while our ship was in Indian ocean sailing towards Bangladesh, we saw a mysterious light show on the night sky for 20 minutes around 08.00 pm.

Our 3rd mate called me and told me about it and to bring my camera to photograph the moment. I went to bridge a minute later. There were also other people on the bridge including our Captain and Chief Engineer. 

We all saw the same thing. The Captain was the first one who noticed the light. I saw it 2-3 minutes later as the 1st picture on the video. Our captain said, initially when he saw it, it was more smaller and much brighter. 

I started to capture a time-lapse with 1s exposure and 1 second interval and record 400 photos as you can see it was glowing and expanding in the time-lapse, easily visible in naked eye at night. 

After the light disappeared, I took a photo of our ship's position (Latitude, Longitude, UTC time). We discussed about it, but nobody was sure about what it was or never saw this kind of light before. 

Can anyone explain it?
