AMAZING daytime UFO over parliament building in Hague, Netherlands 2021

This UFO video was submitted to me a few days ago. It show this huge unidentified flying object hovering in the sky above The Hague, a city on the North Sea coast of the western Netherlands. This happened on 29th June 2021 at 8 am.
Witness report:
Dear UFO enthusiasts, I am sharing a video with you that I recorded. I saw this crazy big thing floating in the sky on Tuesday morning at around 08:00 on my way to work. It was filmed in The Hague, in the Netherlands, right above the parliament building. Do you happen to know what this could be? I would appreciate it if you could share it on your Facebook page.

Now, Japanese astronomers have developed an astounding technique to measure the universe. Using artificial intelligence, scientists were able to remove noise in astronomical data which is caused by random variations in the shapes of galaxies. What does this mean? What is its significance? Read here
The universe comes off as a vast and immeasurable entity whose depths are imperceptible to Earthlings. But in the pursuit of simplifying all that surrounds us, scientists have made great strides in understanding the space we inhabit.
Now, Japanese astronomers have developed an astounding technique to measure the universe. Using artificial intelligence, scientists were able to remove noise in astronomical data which is caused by random variations in the shapes of galaxies.
What did the scientists do?
Scientists used supercomputer simulations and tested large mock data before performing the same on real data from space. After extensive testing, scientists used the tool on data derived from Japan’s Subaru Telescope.
To their surprise, it worked! The results that followed remained largely in sync with the currently accepted models of the universe. If employed on a bigger scale, the tool could help scientists analyse expansive data from astronomical surveys.
Current methods cannot effectively get rid of the noise which pervades all data from space. To avoid interference from noise data, the team used the world’s most advanced astronomy supercomputer called “ATERUI II”.
Using real data from the Subaru Telescope, they generated 25,000 mock galaxy catalogues.
What's causing data distortion?
All data from space can be distorted by the gravity of what’s in the foreground eclipsing its background. This is called gravitational lensing. Measurements of such lensing is used to better understand the universe. Essentially, a galaxy directly visible to us could be manipulating data about what lies behind it.
But it’s difficult to differentiate oddly-looking galaxies from distorting ones that manipulate data. It’s called “shape noise” and regularly gets in the way of understanding the universe.
Based on these understandings, scientists added noise to the artificial data sets and trained AI to recover lensing data from the mock data. The AI was able to highlight previously unobservable details from this data.
Building on this, scientists used the AI model on the real world, covering 21 square degrees of the sky. They found that the details registered about the foreground were actually consistent with existing knowledge about the cosmos.
The research was published in the April issue of Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Lord Hill-Norton Unimpeachable UFO Sightings
Lord Hill-Norton, Chairman, Military Committee of NATO, 1974-77 s
Clues “The evidence that there are objects which have been seen in our atmosphere, and even on terra firma, that cannot be accounted for either as man-made objects or as any physical force or effect known to our scientists, seems to me to be overwhelming
A very large number of sightings have been vouched for by persons whose credentials seem to me unimpeachable. It is striking that so many have been trained observers, such as police officers and airline or military pilots. Their observations have in many instances been supported either by technical means such as radar or, even more convincingly, by interference with electrical apparatus of one sort or another.” Lord Hill-Norton, Chief of Defense Staff, Ministry of Defense, Great Britain, 1973; quoted from foreword of “Above Top Secret” by Timothy Good.

Tic Tac UFO
This golden UFO is often seen near the space station. Usually it is a golden ball, but this time it’s a long cigar shaped craft caught on a live Internet cam on July 9, 2014
The UFO stays in formation with the ISS, which tells us it has matched speeds with the space station so that it can conduct its mission. The space station solar panels move to adjust to the sun and move to cover up the UFO. Very interesting catch by Streetcap1 of YouTube.

Possible UFO Drawing
Charama — Chhattisgarh State Department of Archaeology and culture plans to seek help from NASA and Isro for research on 10,000-year-old rock paintings depicting aliens and UFOs in Charama region in Kanker district in tribal Bastar region.
According to archaeologist JR Bhagat, these paintings have depicted aliens like those shown in Hollywood and Bollywood flicks. Located about 130km from Raipur, the caves come under village Chandeli and Gotitola.
“The findings suggest that humans in prehistoric times may have seen beings from other planets which still create curiosity among people and researchers. Extensive research is needed for further findings.

Large Head and Strange Feet Suggest Aliens
There are several beliefs among locals in these villages. While few worship the paintings, others narrate stories they have heard from ancestors about “rohela people” — the small sized ones — who used to land from sky in a round-shaped flying objects and take away one or two persons of the village who never returned.
“The paintings are done in natural colors that have hardly faded despite the years. The strangely carved figures are seen holding weapon-like objects and do not have clear features. Specially, the nose and mouth are missing. In few pictures, they are even shown wearing spacesuits. We can’t refute possibility of imagination by prehistoric men…,” the archaeologist said.

Cataclysmic Event Dawns the Origin and Perhaps the End of Civilization
Around 13,000 years ago, the Earth burned. A swarm of comet debris from the Taurid meteor stream had blasted the Americas and parts of Europe; the worst day in prehistory since the end of the ice age. Many species of large animal were exterminated by the conflagration and ensuing cataclysms. And those that survived the initial onslaught could do little against the floods, acid rain, and starvation that followed. People suffered too. Mankind was knocked backwards by this cataclysm into even more primitive stone-age ways of life, leaving sickly, frightened communities battling for survival.
Many years passed before the dust settled and the stars could be seen again. The sun and moon gradually strengthened and slowly the natural order of things returned. But this devastating cataclysmic event was not forgotten.Vegetation, and the animals that grazed it, could not live in the weak half-light of day or the starless black of night. And without them, life was bleak and hard.
Prehistory Decoded at Gobekli Tepe: From a Cataclysmic Event Dawns the Origin and Perhaps the End of Civilization
In the Fertile Crescent, modern day southern Turkey, the surviving Natufian tribes memorialized this great catastrophe by erecting Gobekli Tepe, the world’s first temple. The event had changed them – made them more fearful and religious. They prayed at their new stone temple for protection, deliverance, and anything else that might help. And they watched the sky, very carefully.

Fidel Castro and Pope John Paul
Jorge Martin, Puerto Rican ufologist reports that on March 29, 2012, former President of Cuba, Fidel Castro issued historical document of Reflections, entitled “The need to Enrich our Knowledge.” The letter discussed several issues related to the dangers for the survival of humankind posed by the current warmongering race that some of the world powers are enforcing; and how the bearers of these actions tend to suffer from characters that lack culture and special knowledge. Interjected is the possibility of extraterrestrial life in the universe around us.

Millions of stars with multiple planets
Castro stated, “When Pope John Paul II visited Cuba in 1998, I sat down to dinner with a spokesman of the Pope. I said, “I think there is a 99.9 percent chance there is intelligent life on other planets’. A European article reads, “There could be thousands of millions of planets not much larger than Earth orbiting stars in our galaxy. “Our new observations show that about 40% of the 160.000 million red dwarf stars have a ‘super-Earth” orbiting in their living zone, and there may be liquid water on the surface of the planet. “
Jorge Martin, states, In 2002, the renowned Cuban filmmaker Octavio Cortazar visited Puerto Rico and asked to meet with us at our magazine Enigmas Goals.
He gave me a copy of the first documentary ever made in Cuba entitled “UFOs in Cuba.” Octavio Cortazar further stated since President Fidel Castro opened the door with his letter about extraterrestrial life, he would reveal more of Castro’s statements.
John Paul II told Castro in 1998, The probability of life beyond Earth was a fact and discussed the observations of UFOs!
Castro saw the reality of extraterrestrial life visiting us, when he visited the Soviet Union. Perhaps, as a result we would deviate from the path of self destruction in which we currently are on.

Above: Photographic simulation of Fidel Castro’s visit to the Soviet secret Lab in which he was shown both the alien craft and the corpse of its pilot.
Fidel Castro also gave Juan Mari Bras, a pro-Puerto Rico Independence leader information about the UFO matter? I asked Mrs. Trabal, What did Castro say to Attorney Juan Mari Bras?
Well-she-said, On one occasion we were talking about the UFO subject. Fidel Castro told us, before the fall of the Soviet Union, he had traveled to the USSR and the Soviet Authorities had taken him to a military base in which there was a special laboratory, and had showed him an alien spaceship, a disk they had captured. He also saw the body of a tall extraterrestrial being they kept preserved in a special box-like machine or cryogenic freezer.

Kapustin Yar Launch Site
Juan Mari Bras had not spoken about this before because Castro had told him confidence. Juan is a person of great integrity, and would not say something like this if it not was true. Castro also told us, the Soviets told him they knew Americans had a similar lab and research center with crafts and alien bodies.
It is likely Castro was taken to the Plesetsk Cosmodrome where the Soyuz Rocket Cosmos-3M, and Tsykon are launched and is under persistent surveillance by alien crafts. This photo was taken by security officer Ghenady Korniev Vassili Zaitsev on January 5, 1992, at the Plesetsk missile center.
The other possible missile center where the alien craft could be stored is the base of Kapushtin Yar, in Astrakhan, Volgograd. Here there are several large hangars and an underground facility with several floors, in which Russian scientists could study alien technology of captured and crashed alien spacecrafts.

USSR UFO Museum
It is very possible that Fidel Castro saw the alien spaceship and the alien corpse at Kapustin Yar. Thanks to Jorge Martin jorgemartin87@yahoo.com Under these lines we are showing a sketch with data on some of the extraterrestrial spacecrafts that the Russian Government keeps at this research center, made by a confidential Russian source, which was delivered to Italian journalist and UFO researcher Constantino Paglialunga in 1997.

Possible First Photo of UFO over Mt. Washington

The route encircles Vermont’s Green Mountains, including Vermont’s highest peak, Mount Mansfield and the famous mountain pass of Smugglers’ Notch. The area offers many recreational opportunities in all four-seasons, both indoor and outdoor, including world-renown skiing and snowboarding, hiking, biking and water sports to name a few. A mail man called me to say he noticed UFOs flying in and out of the mountains near the Canadian Border. He had been talking to the Border Patrol personnel who also frequently saw UFOs and they suggested he can call me. The mountains are not far from Mt. Washington where it’s believed the first UFO picture was made in the late 1800s.
The route encircles Vermont’s Green Mountains, including Vermont’s highest peak, Mount Mansfield and the famous mountain pass of Smugglers’ Notch. The area offers many recreational opportunities in all four-seasons and apparently many UFOs are seen. Note some people feel the black mark is a dark spot on the mountain however a dark spot is more likely to be jagged and run up and down with gravity rather being horizontal.

Craft Diving into Cavern
FOSTORIA – George Ritter took video images over his two Corvettes of a UFO that was diving into his neighbor’s farm. His RCA VHS video camera regularly picks up UFOs landing and taking off in the farmer’s field. It is assumed that these craft operate in an underground base since there are numerous underground caverns in the general area.
Birds and insects are usually portrayed in thirty or so frames of the video, while a UFO moving at thousands of miles an hour is in only one or two frames. US military aircraft can also reach speeds of a thousand miles an hour and close up would appear as a blur.
Many of the objects filmed appear to be headed into the ground of the field behind this farm. The objects are captured on a non digital RCA VHS video camera shooting towards the southeast in the afternoon sky. The UFOs are flying at speeds near a 1000 mph and appear to enter and leave the ground without effecting the crops or soil. Departing they quickly climb to higher altitudes apparently in an attempt to avoid accidents with commercial aircraft. George has noticed when the police radio announces crashes. on the Ohio State Highway not far away the craft quickly depart suggesting they capture the souls of those killed.
If the video is correct this area may contain an alien base. Seneca County, Ohio not far from Lake Eire is known for its underground caverns. A dowsing expert from England believes that a large cavern exists below this farmer’s field that is located about thirty miles from Lake Erie. One of the largest caverns in Ohio also exists on the Southwest corner of the lake at a distance of thirty miles, but further east. Thanks to George Ritter
ALIEN UFO BASES

UFO entering field near a Finley, Ohio farm
Erich A. Aggen, Jr. reports a great deal of UFO research has led to the conclusion that various species of aliens have set up secret underground bases in the United States and other countries. It is logical to assume that such bases have also been established elsewhere in the solar system. If such bases exist, where would we find them? Existing information allows us to make a few educated guesses.
“EARTH BASES: UNDERGROUND – The dark, cavernous world beneath our feet is the source of many baffling mysteries. Clandestine UFO bases may be hidden deep within the earth in natural and or artificial caverns and even under the sea.

Huge Cavern notice man at right
As a former member of the National Speleological Society (NSS), I am well aware of the vast extent of cave systems within the United States. In my own native state of Missouri, for example, there are over 2,500 known caves and dozens of new ones being discovered every year. Many of these caves are intricately linked together by numerous passageways and interconnecting chambers.
“One particular species of blind white (albino) cave fish, the Typhlichthys, has been found in many widely separated cave systems over several states. It has been found in caves that make a great arc through Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and UNDER the Mississippi River extending into Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma! A vast section of the central and southern United States must lie above one immense cavern system!
“Many caves possess rooms hundreds of feet in length, width, and height. In most cases, these huge natural caverns can only be reached and explored with the utmost skill and perseverance. There are only a few thousand NSS members in the United States and only a few hundred of this number are active spelunkers that is people who explore caves. With so few spelunkers spread over such a large area, only a very small fraction of the tens of thousands of known caves in this country have been carefully mapped and explored. Thousands of other caves remain undiscovered and unexplored. “Extensive evidence indicates that caves in the United States may be connected with caves in other parts of the world.
Nevada Alien Base

According to various reports the visitors have large brains and are able transmit their thoughts and read our minds. They obviously have advanced technology and reportedly are able to go through walls, transport people into their craft, and control people’s actions, etc.

Tall Whites Living in Northern Area 51
Former Air Force Sgt weatherman, Dr. Charles Hall claims he met aliens in Dreamland near Indian Springs, Nevada. He claims he spent two years working with three different extra-terrestrial races. One race was the tall whites are about 5 feet 11inches who grow taller after age 40 years old. They seemed to have a base partly inside a mountain in the northern part of Area 51.A fairly large group of aliens had set up a living area. They carried weapons apparently to protect themselves from intruders. For some unknown reason they had accepted the friendship of a weatherman who often trawled into their general area to obtain winds and information about the weather for the approach to Indian Springs Air Force Base.
Entities are probably visiting Earth as a tourist attraction to show other aliens how not to behave. Our tribal wars, crime, and environmental destruction would likely make an interesting study of human nature. They are also worried that our war like activities could be spread out to other planets. Each life form on Earth from the tiniest bacteria to whales may be valuable to an alien race for food or medicine. There is no evidence the aliens plan to destroy Earth or to wipe out humanity. However, they do apparently have interest in human life, minerals, nuclear power plants and weapons. It is possible they desire to take control of the world and settle here if their planet or sun is failing. An alien race trying to take over this planet may attempt to accomplish numerous tasks to make the transition painless.
INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021

Senate Intelligence Committee
June 17, 2020. – Ordered to be printed
Mr. Rubio, from the Select Committee on Intelligence, submitted the following REPORT together with MINORITY VIEWS
… “Advanced Aerial Threats”
The Committee supports the efforts of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force at the Office of Naval Intelligence to standardize collection and reporting on unidentified aerial phenomenon, any links they have to adversarial foreign governments, and the threat they pose to U.S. military assets and installations. However, the Committee remains concerned that there is no unified, comprehensive process within the Federal Government for collecting and analyzing intelligence on unidentified aerial phenomena, despite the potential threat. The Committee understands that the relevant intelligence may be sensitive; nevertheless, the Committee finds that the information sharing and coordination across the Intelligence Community has been inconsistent, and this issue has lacked attention from senior leaders.
Therefore, the Committee directs the DNI, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense and the heads of such other agencies as the Director and Secretary jointly consider relevant, to submit a report within 180 days of the date of enactment of the Act, to the congressional intelligence and armed services committees on unidentified aerial phenomena (also known as ‘anomalous aerial vehicles’), including observed airborne objects that have not been identified.

The Committee further directs the report to include:
Pacific Northwest Bakes Under Once in a Millennium Heat Dome

Repeat Article With Unusual Jet Stream on June 27, 2021
In a December statement, the Chinese Communist government announced an expansion of its weather control program, covering an area of over 2.1 million square miles. The country believes it will have the technology. When I served in Vietnam in 1968, the US controlled the weather
Along the Route of Ho Chi Minh” with six aircraft. China has developed the use of six HAARP machines that also appear to control the jet stream over the United States. Like the Communist media daily tells the Chinese they are at war with the US the Chinese work actively in every method possible to destroy democracy even though you news will not tell you. It is my opinion that China has developed a method to change the path of the jet stream that essentially controls the weather in the United States.
The jet stream making an Omega swing surrounding a heat dome
The most recent evidence includes the wild Omega pattern of the jet stream which according to Weather experts has not happened by accident in a thousand years. This pattern is causing record high temperatures throughout the West. Temperatures above 100 degrees are common.
Just like the 600,000 US citizens killed by the Corona –virus. The virus was as bad as the Spanish Flu a hundred years ago. Communist countries feel it is their right to destroy the United States.

The heat wave baking the U.S. Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, Canada, is of an intensity never recorded by modern humans. By one measure it is more rare than a once in a 1,000 year event — which means that if you could live in this particular spot for 1,000 years, you’d likely only experience a heat dome like this once, if ever.
Portland, Oregon, has already broken its all-time record hottest temperature at 108 degrees on Saturday and the peak of the heat wave has not even been reached yet. Canada is expected to register the nation’s all-time highest temperature before the event is done. These are extremely dangerous numbers, especially in a region not used to heat like this, where many people do not have air conditioning.
By Monday, some — if not all — of the all-time record highs seen below are forecast to break, with many more cities not listed here expected to achieve the same feat.
These are all-time heat records for select cities. Portland has already broken its former all-time record of 107. / Credit: CBS News
The heat is being caused by a combination of a significant atmospheric blocking pattern on top of a human-caused climate changed world where baseline temperatures are already a couple to a few degrees higher than nature intended.
The core of the heat dome, as measured by the thickness of the air column over British Columbia and the Pacific NW, is – statistically speaking – equivalent to a 1 in 1000 year event or even 1 in 10,000 year event. / Credit: CBS News More
This heat wave comes on the heels of another historic heat wave less than two weeks ago that baked the U.S. Intermountain West, Desert Southwest and California with hundreds of record highs.
Meanwhile, the Eastern U.S. is also seeing the heat ratchet up, with feels like temperatures pushing 100 degrees by Monday and Tuesday in the major cities of the I-95 corridor. The back to back and dueling heat waves are made more likely by a very wavy jet stream and our unnaturally heating climate.

Tarrant County, Texas Sheriff Bill Waybourn warns the ‘crisis’ at the southern border is ‘growing throughout America’. Expect at least a hundred thousand young Americans to lose their life taking fentanyl this year. thousands will be killed due to the defunding police in numerous cities. In most of those cities the police are told not to arrest the important drug dealers since they pay the politicians large sums. Several hundred illegal immigrants have been found dead at the U.S. border due to the extreme heat. Most of the women claim they have been raped on their trip though Mexico.
“Texas law enforcement has seized enough fentanyl to kill every man, woman and child in the state of New York.”
Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn made the comments on “Fox & Friends“. The sheriff warns the crisis at the border is growing throughout America. There has been a 50% rise fentanyl overdoses in his county. Nearly 841,000 people have died since 1999 from a drug overdose mostly from fentanyl coming Mexico and China..1 In 2019, .
Is Abortion Murder?
The Catholic Church Once conceived, the human person has a body and a soul, and a right to life. To terminate that life is morally wrong. “The Biden administration says it is committed to advancing sexual and reproductive rights around the world which essentially means they are killing millions of babies here in the U.S. and paying millions more to kill babies around the world. One million three hundred thousand abortions in 2019.

High suicide and divorce rate with abortions
Of course, the data that mothers who have an abortion attempt suicide six times more than women who have babies. The mental and physical strain on the body frequently causes a high rate of divorcé, a higher number of cancer victims and other physical problems.,
The Biden budget drops the Hyde amendments to all public funding of abortion estimated at 500 million dollars in the U.S. and a similar amount worldwide.
The Biden administration is working to restore America’s relationship with the global Catholic Church at a time when Catholic bishops in the U.S. are targeting the president over his stance on abortion and are refusing to provide communion to him.
Is a married couple who aborts their child more likely to divorce? If so, is there a direct relationship between high abortion rates and high divorce rates? Theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer hinted that this might be the case.
In his book Ethics, Bonhoeffer wrote, “Marriage involves an acknowledgment of the right of life that is to come into being, a right which is not subject to disposal by the married couple. Unless this right is acknowledged as a matter of principle, marriage ceases to be marriage and becomes a mere liaison.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/philosophical/introductio
The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer’s Life with UFOs

U.S. Air Force Major George Filer belongs to the generation of pilots and airmen who first became aware of the strange aircraft showing up in the Earth’s atmosphere after World War II. These men – military professionals who flew planes, served as radar operators and air traffic controllers at air fields around the world – began to whisper amongst themselves about encounters with suspected extraterrestrial aircraft.
During secret debriefings at U.S. bases, pilots and air crew told their commanders of seeing UFOs off their plane’s wings. Award-winning investigative author John Guerra spent four years interviewing Filer, a decorated intelligence officer.
From objects in the skies over Cold War Europe to a UFOs over during the Cuban Missile Crisis to lights over the DMZ in Vietnam Filer leaves nothing out about his Air Force UFO encounters,
Filer’s most memorable case – the shooting of an alien at Fort Dix Army Base in 1978 – is fully recounted for the first time in this book. As a member of the Disclosure Project, military experts, astronauts, and scientists urge the U.S. government to release all it knows about UFOs to the public.

Alaska Object

Kodac –I have witnessed over 10 UFOs, this is my first reporting. My accounts vary from 2006 all the way to 2020. This account is my first telepathic communication with another species. At 9 o clock I stepped outside, when I noticed a bright light almost above me. It was two big blue lights that wrapped into a circle almost the size of a football field, I couldn’t even see the whole ship due to the fog, trees, and house. The two lights trailed while going in a circle, then went faster and faster until it was a solid blue circle. Then it zipped straight up into the sky.
I didn’t have my camera on me. The communication happened later on the next night, for about a week.
List of sightings.
2006- Kodiak Alaska at night, zig zag pattern orb, also seen early morning in Harlingen Texas later that year.
2011- Orb moves above river near the border of Mexico, in Harlingen Texas.
2011- Pair of red lights in vertical form swoop across road with a high pitched screech, while driving down Edna Texas, highway 111 in November.
2014- February in Kodiak Alaska, Disc flashes in abrupt stop, then warps again over mountain. Probe comes out of ship and fly’s down mountain. Tracked every night for a week.
2015- May in Kodiak, saucer circles plane on incoming, quick zip around plane.
2015- September in Kodiak, orb drops below fog line, then floats back up in fog.
2016- August in Kodiak, metamorphic looking ship, white in color, circles over head, ship sensed something then imploded and disappeared.
2017- September in Kodiak, meteor leaves streaks of aurora borealis behind it, this happens 12 times on craft entry.
2018- May in Kodiak, ship comes in from the east to over the mountains.
Serial other similar events during last two years.
California Object

Hesperia/Cajon pass/Victorville – on April 16, 2017, I saw a large transparent object in the sky that was hovering. There was a very huge dark void in the sky. The transparent ship was lower towards the ground hovering in place. The pictures don’t show how massive these things were in the sky. They were not lenticular clouds as the object was trying to camouflage.
Nebraska Light

La Vista – on June 21, 2021, my son looked up to the Northwest, and pointed. I looked up, and saw a very bright circular object like a globe. The object was moving Southwest very slowly. I took a distorted picture, but it was very It was darker in the center and reflected the Sun from the outer edges.
Note: The witness stated that the time of the sighting was 8:33 PM CDT. The camera metadata trail says that the time was 9:03 PM that is used in this report. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/
New Hampshire Light

North Conway – on June 10, 2021, my wife and I were driving and stopped to take a picture of the Sunset over the mountains. I noticed a light to my right that was gone quickly .it, I changed to video catching the object flying sporadically, and then to photos but never saw anything. A sphere opened and the ship flew into this wormhole.
New Jersey Objects

Edison – on June 26, 2021, I saw craft that just hung in the eastern night sky and moved and winked out after 5 minutes. It was shaped like the letter H with a string
of smaller lights below that were of less radiance than the principal golden lights that faded during my observation. The object was in the flight path of EWR airport and airplanes wood pass near it. There were no red or green nav lights on this craft ruling out a terrestrial airplane. An actual UFO depiction of sighting.
New Jersey Objects

I recently retired from the NJANG with 32 years of aviation experience. It was a fantastic experience and an honor to serve my country.
Back in 2011 while flying in our South Jersey training area under goggles I witnessed an event that was life changing. Up until this point I had already been flying for 25 years and never saw anything in the air that I could not identify. Well on a clear fall night that all changed. I had just finished flying and had switched out with another pilot. I was sitting in the back left side jump seat, the crew chief in the right jump seat. We were hovering just above the trees when the crew chief yelled over the intercom that his goggles had just shut down due to a bright flash of light coming from the sky. Just then I saw while looking out the left side this huge 2 by 4 looking object. It was long and had semi squared off corners. No wings, no landing gear, no lights. It flew right over our helicopter, probably five hundred feet above us and headed toward Philadelphia in about three seconds. I estimate that object was moving over 20,000 mph. Remember I saw this while wearing night vision goggles. The object appeared to be lite up from inside. Unfortunately the two pilots in from never saw the craft. The story you have in the issue of the tic tac looking object is similar to what I saw. I did file a report with MUFON.

Charleston – on June 23, 2021, I watched the aircraft approach from the WSW as I walked to the car and realized how slow it was moving. It did not change altitude but as it passed over it changed to a NW direction. I watched for 3 minutes and saw 6 other people also watching. It did have 3 lights on it but zero sound. Silhouetted against a brighter than normal sky I could see the outline of a perfect black boomerang.
Washington Lights

SeaTac – on May 15, 2021, my wife and I spotted a long string of flashing lights. My wife thought she could see windows and I thought it was the SpaceX launch but that was earlier in the day. It was traveling east for 5 minutes. I took several pictures along with a video.

Mars helicopter Ingenuity spotted a 'heart' in Perseverance rover's tracks on 9th flight (video)

NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter captured this image, which features tracks made by the Perseverance rover, using its high-resolution color camera during its ninth Red Planet flight, on July 5, 2021.

Is there something going on between Perseverance and the Mars helicopter Ingenuity?
During its latest Red Planet flight on Monday (July 5), NASA's 4-lb. (1.8 kilograms) Ingenuity Mars helicopter photographed a heart-shaped feature among the tracks made by the six-wheeled Perseverance rover.
The "heart" shows where the Perseverance rover took a slight detour, perhaps to investigate some interesting rock or patch of dirt, before returning to its original path and heading on its way. Or, if your inclinations run in a less literal, less factual direction, the ground-bound robot was sending a message of support (or more) to its aerial partner.
The car-sized Perseverance rover landed, with Ingenuity attached to its belly, this past February on the floor of Mars' Jezero Crater, which harbored a big lake and a river delta in the ancient past. In early April, the little chopper deployed onto the red dirt, kicking off a month-long, five-flight campaign designed to show that aerial exploration is feasible on the Red Planet.
Ingenuity aced that original technology-demonstrating mission and was rewarded with an extension, which aims to showcase the scouting potential of Mars rotorcraft. For example, the Perseverance team is looking forward to studying the photos Ingenuity captured on Sunday's sortie, which flew over a rugged region called "Séítah," the helicopter's handlers said.
"Captured in those images are rock outcrops that show contacts between the major geologic units on Jezero Crater's floor," Ingenuity chief pilot Håvard Grip and Perseverance deputy project scientist Ken Williford wrote in a Flight 9 update on Wednesday (July 7).
"They also include a system of fractures the Perseverance team calls 'Raised Ridges,' which the rover's scientists hope to visit in part to investigate whether an ancient subsurface habitat might be preserved there," wrote Grip and Williford, both of whom are based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
"Finally, we're hoping the color images will provide the closest look yet at 'Pilot Pinnacle,' a location featuring outcrops that some team members think may record some of the deepest water environments in old Lake Jezero," the duo added. "Given the tight mission schedule, it’s possible that they will not be able to visit these rocks with the rover, so Ingenuity may offer the only opportunity to study these deposits in any detail."
Perseverance's main mission goals involve hunting for signs of ancient Mars life on Jezero's floor and collecting and caching samples for future return to Earth. The rover began focusing on that science work in earnest when Ingenuity completed its original technology-demonstrating mission. (All communications to and from Ingenuity must go through Perseverance.)
Ingenuity's extended mission is expected to last at least a few more months, provided the helicopter remains healthy, with a flight roughly every two weeks on average during that span. The helicopter team has been pushing Ingenuity's limits during the extended phase, as the latest flight showed. On Monday, the copter flew farther (2,051 feet, or 625 meters) and faster (about 11 mph, or 18 kph), and stayed aloft longer (166 seconds), than it ever had before.
12 Terrifying Animals You Wouldn't Want To EncounterUnless you’re a wildlife enthusiast or expert, there’s a good chance you are not aware of the uniquely terrifying animals that still inhabit the wilderness and oceans. If you assumed that the reign of these nightmarish scary beasts ended hundreds of thousands of years ago or at least their presence has been reduced because of the rapid urbanization, get ready to be amazed. Because turns out, these formidable beasts still co-habit the planet with us and can keep you up at nights from fear with just their looks.

New Navy Maps and Post – Pole Shift Maps.jpg)
There’s a new spike in interest in POLE SHIFTS after a lot of Youtube videos in the last few weeks started commenting on a “new navy map” that isn’t really new and isn’t really from the U.S. Navy. There are a lot of maps based on estimates of what would happen if polar ice all melted or what would happen if the Earth’s crust slips over the core and a pole shift creates a new arrangement of the planet’s surface, with all the continents at different latitudes and elevations, and new locations for the poles, the equator, and everything in between.
It’s all guesswork, but it’s pretty cool to look at. Consider these pics from a video just based on all the ice melting:
Thank you Youtube’s RealLifeLore channel for the “How Will Earth Change If All the Ice Melts?” video
More recently Pastor Paul Begley made several videos highlighting a map he got from “Mike From Around the World” and this map of the eastern United States also shows many areas submerged and is allegedly based on the U.S. Navy’s expectations of a worst case climate change scenario in the near future:
In this map many low lying areas, including Florida, Cuba, and much of the southeastern United States and eastern coastal areas are just gone, submerged underwater. But this map is based more on soil liquefaction.
Next, imagine the far greater catastrophe of a POLE SHIFT – in which the entire crust of the planet moves as one solid piece over the core, shifting mass imbalances like the accumulated ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica to the equator after cosmic electromagnetic field changes induce a solar outburst and the Earth is affected on many levels…. Well explained and documented by Ben Davidson in many videos on his SuspiciousObservers channel on Youtube.
Ben Davidson’s map above only shows the new positions of the continents if the massive ice caps of Antarctica and Greenland are re-balanced and allowed to shift to the equator. No changes in elevation – no submergence of existing lands – or rising of old ones – is depicted above. But it may very well show the future equator. Chan Thomas, author of The Adam and Eve story and the subject of my next book, predicted that the upcoming pole shift will see the new North Pole in the Bay of Bengal, and that is where our magnetic poles seem to be moving to a convergence point – the magnetic poles are currently on a collision course towards the Bay of Bengal. (And Chan Thomas is not the only pole shift researcher who expected that position for the next North Pole.) If this happens, southeast Asia will be under one of the next ice caps, along with Peru, as the new South Pole would end up just west of Peru. But before those new ice caps grow, the old ones we have known will be melting rapidly in the equatorial sunshine. I often wonder what newly habitable lands will emerge, and what evidence may yet be found of previous civilizations….
Different analysts have different expectations based on the evidence of past pole shifts and current terrestrial, solar, and galactic ongoing changes. If you want a deeper look at the evidence, consider reading some good pole shift books like POLE SHIFT: Evidence Will Not Be Silenced – and several others found here.

UFO Cloud Camouflage Sightings 2021
UFO Institutes Best UFO Cloud Camouflage Sightings 2021 Compilation :
In general, it is safe to say that when we observe UFOs (or merely envision them) we tend to think in terms of objects or unusual aircraft that may be discernible in our skies. After all, the prototype UFO is often considered to be a metallic silver disk of sorts, or else an elongated, cigar-shaped object. Orbs are also very common in day-to-day sightings these days. But one aspect of Ufology that is overlooked all too often is the notion that UFOs may be disguising themselves in order to obtain a closer look at Earth without giving themselves away. This seems to be particularly evident when we take a closer look at meteorological phenomena, clouds in particular.
If there is any merit to the theory that UFOs disguise themselves as everyday objects we observe in the sky, then it is fairly obvious that their object of choice is clouds.

Teleportation: Is it Feasible?

One of the more intriguing – and highly controversial – claims I’ve heard concerning Area 51 is that top secret research has been undertaken at the base in the field of none other than teleportation. Of course, nothing solid has ever come my way. And, given the fact that the base is impenetrable, it’s unlikely anything ever will. That’s not to say that research isn’t going on in this incredible field, however. Let’s look a bit deeper at the matter of teleportation: the very same technology that has become famous in the likes of Star Trek and the 1958 movie (and its 1986 remake) The Fly. Let’s see what teleportation actually is. IBM stated the following concerning this decidedly fringe part of science: “Teleportation is the name given by science fiction writers to the feat of making an object or person disintegrate in one place while a perfect replica appears somewhere else. How this is accomplished is usually not explained in detail, but the general idea seems to be that the original object is scanned in such a way as to extract all the information from it, then this information is transmitted to the receiving location and used to construct the replica, not necessarily from the actual material of the original, but perhaps from atoms of the same kinds, arranged in exactly the same pattern as the original.”
IBM continues: “A teleportation machine would be like a fax machine, except that it would work on 3-dimensional objects as well as documents, it would produce an exact copy rather than an approximate facsimile, and it would destroy the original in the process of scanning it. A few science fiction writers consider teleporters that preserve the original, and the plot gets complicated when the original and teleported versions of the same person meet; but the more common kind of teleporter destroys the original, functioning as a super transportation device, not as a perfect replicator of souls and bodies.” In 2017, the Guardian said: “Chinese scientists have teleported an object from Earth to a satellite orbiting 300 miles away in space, in a demonstration that has echoes of science fiction. The feat sets a new record for quantum teleportation, an eerie phenomenon in which the complete properties of one particle are instantaneously transferred to another – in effect teleporting it to a distant location.”
The BBC ran an article on the astounding story titled “Teleportation: Photon particles today, humans tomorrow?” It included the following, under the sub-heading of “What has the Chinese team achieved?”: “They created 4,000 pairs of quantum-entangled photons per second at their laboratory in Tibet and fired one of the photons from each pair in a beam of light towards a satellite called Micius, named after an ancient Chinese philosopher. Micius has a sensitive photon receiver that can detect the quantum states of single photons fired from the ground. Their report – published online – says it is the first such link for ‘faithful and ultra-long-distance quantum teleportation.’ ‘It is a very nice experiment – I would not have expected everything to have worked so fast and so smoothly,’ says Professor Anton Zeilinger from the University of Vienna, who taught Chinese lead scientist Pan Jianwei.”
Star Trek Teleportation
As for the matter of teleportation in the real world, we have to turn our attentions to a man named Eric W. Davis. In 2004, the U.S. Air Force quietly (as in extremely quietly) contracted Davis’ Las Vegas, Nevada-based Warp Drive Metrics company to prepare a report for them on the feasibility of teleportation being feasible. It became known as the Teleportation Physics Study. We know that as the Air Force has now placed the report in the public domain. The specific arm of the Air Force that had a particular interest in teleportation was the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Materiel Command, which is based out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio. The Air Force states of the AFRL: “Air Force Research Laboratory, with headquarters at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was created in October 1997. The laboratory was formed through the consolidation of four former Air Force laboratories and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. The laboratory employs approximately 10,000 military and civilian personnel. It is responsible for managing and annual $4.4 billion (Fiscal Year 2014) science and technology program that includes both Air Force and customer funded research and development. AFRL investment includes basic research, applied research and advanced technology development in air, space and cyber mission areas.
“With headquarters at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, and an additional research facility at Edwards AFB, Calif., the Aerospace Systems Directorate leads the effort to develop and transition superior technology solutions that enable dominant military aerospace vehicles. Areas of focus include vehicle aerodynamics, flight controls, aerospace propulsion, power, rocket propulsion, aerospace structures, and turbine engines. Programs advance a wide variety of aerospace technologies including unmanned vehicles, space access, advanced fuels, hypersonic vehicles, future strike, and energy management.”
What the above tells us is that even if teleportation – as it is popularly perceived – has not been achieved, then, still, a lot of facilities and programs have looked into it. Maybe, one day, we’ll all be surprised and find out that it has been perfected.

There are Probably Many More Earth-Sized Worlds Than Previously Believed
In the past decade, the discovery of extrasolar planets has accelerated immensely. To date, 4,424 exoplanets have been confirmed in 3,280 star systems, with another 7,453 awaiting confirmation. So far, most of these planets have been gas giants, with about 66% being similar to Jupiter or Neptune, while another 30% have been giant rocky planets (aka. “Super-Earths). Only a small fraction of confirmed exoplanets (less than 4%) have been similar in size to Earth.
However, according to new research by astronomers working at NASA Ames Research Center, it is possible that Earth-sized exoplanets are more common than previously thought. As they indicated in a recent study, there could be twice as many rocky exoplanets in binary systems that are obscured by the glare of their parent stars. These findings could have drastic implications in the search for potentially habitable worlds since roughly half of all stars are binary systems.
For the sake of their study, the research team examined 517 exoplanet-hosting stars that were identified by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its three years in operation. When compared to data from the twin telescopes of the international Gemini Observatory and the WIYN 3.5-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, they found that over 100 of these stars likely had a binary companion.

The paper that describes their findings has been accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal. Dr. Kathryn Lester, a postdoctoral researcher at NASA Ames Research Center, led the research effort with the assistance of colleagues from NASA Ames, the U.S. Naval Observatory, the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute, the NSF’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab), the Lowell Observatory, as well as Georgia State and Standford University.
The Trouble with Transits
To date, the vast majority of confirmed exoplanets (roughly 75%) have been discovered using the Transit Method (aka. Transit Photometry). This consists of observing stars for periodic dips in their brightness, which can be the result of a planet passing in front of their face (transiting) relative to the observer. Like its predecessor, Kepler, TESS relies on the Transit Method to determine the presence of exoplanet systems around thousands of stars at any given time.
Unfortunately, binary companions have always been challenging when it comes to detecting transiting exoplanets. Transit Photometry requires that star systems being observed edge-on in order for exoplanets to be detected. But in binary star systems, where two stars orbit each other, dips in luminosity are a regular occurrence and are the result of one companion eclipsing the other.
As a result, it can be very difficult to spot smaller exoplanets that orbit closer to their stars, which is where astronomers expect to find rocky planets in the stars’ circumsolar Habitable Zone (HZ). Instead, using the Transit Method with binary star systems is likely to reveal only gas giants and/or planets that have distant orbits from their parent stars. This is why Dr. Lester and her colleagues set out to determine whether some of the exoplanet-hosting stars were in fact binaries.
Searching for Stellar Companions
The team relied on a technique called Speckle Imaging, where large numbers of short exposure images are combined and analyzed to greatly enhance the resolution of ground-based telescopes (similar to interferometry). Of the 517 TESS Objects of Interest (TOIs) they examined, they found that 73 exoplanet host stars that had previously appeared as a single point of light actually had a stellar companion.
They similarly found that 29 TOI stars that had produced false positives in the past also had stellar companions. Said Dr. Lester in a recent NOIRLab press release:
“With the Gemini Observatory’s 8.1-meter telescopes, we obtained extremely high-resolution images of exoplanet host stars and detected stellar companions at very small separations… Since roughly 50% of stars are in binary systems, we could be missing the discovery of — and the chance to study — a lot of Earth-like planets.”
The next step was to take the exoplanets that have been detected in these systems and comparing them to the sizes of exoplanets detected in single-star systems. From this, the team was able to demonstrate that while the TESS spacecraft was able to identify both Jupiter and Neptune-like (“large”) exoplanets and Super-Earths and Earth-like (“small”) exoplanets orbiting single stars, it found only large planets in binary systems.
These results imply that there could be a population of Earth-sized exoplanets in binary systems that have gone undetected by missions like TESS, Kepler, and other exoplanet surveys that rely on Transit Photometry. For some time, scientists have suspected that transit surveys have been missing small planets in binary systems because of the potential for interference from a companion star.
However, this new study provides the first observational support for this suspicion while also showing what kind of exoplanets are affected. It is also significant because of the way the Transit Method has been seen as the most effective means of exoplanet detection to date – accounting for 3343 of the 4424 confirmed exoplanets. But if these results are correct, there could be up to 1600 rocky exoplanets that were missed with transit surveys.
This means that moving forward, astronomers will need to rely on a variety of observational techniques before they conclude that a binary system has no Earth-like planets. As Dr. Lester stated:
“Since roughly 50% of stars are in binary systems, we could be missing the discovery of — and the chance to study — a lot of Earth-like planets. Astronomers need to know whether a star is single or binary before they claim that no small planets exist in that system. If it’s single, then you could say that no small planets exist. But if the host is in a binary, you wouldn’t know whether a small planet is hidden by the companion star or does not exist at all. You would need more observations with a different technique to figure that out.”
“We have shown that it is more difficult to find Earth-sized planets in binary systems because small planets get lost in the glare of their two parent stars,” added Dr. Steve Howell, the leader of the speckle imaging effort at NASA Ames and a co-author on the paper. “Their transits are ‘filled in’ by the light from the companion star. This is a major finding in exoplanet work. The results will help theorists create their models for how planets form and evolve in double-star systems.”

Another aspect of the study involved Dr. Lester and her colleagues analyzing the distance between binary companions in systems where TESS detected large planets. What they found was that exoplanet-hosting pairs were typically farther apart than binary pairs that have no known exoplanets. This could be interpreted as an indication that planets do not form around stars that have close stellar companions.
In the future, this could be used to place added constraints on where astronomers should look for rocky planets. The speckle imaging survey conducted by Dr. Lester and her team also illustrates how exoplanet studies are transitioning from exoplanet discovery to characterization. In addition to characterizing exoplanet atmospheres and surface environments, there’s also the vital task of characterizing planetary systems.
By knowing which types of stars are most likely to support rocky exoplanets, astronomers and astrobiologists can narrow the search for planets that are most amenable to “life as we know it.”

The Chronicle of Akakor: The legend of “the gods who came from space”

The first narratives of the Akakor Chronicle were written on tree bark. Using the language of the ancient masters and gods.
Tatunca Nara, considered the prince of the Ugha Mongulala tribe, was the one who transmitted the story orally to Karl Brugger, a German journalist, who worked on the legend in Brazil.
Karl Brugger recorded Akakor’s chronicle, which begins with the arrival of the gods who civilized them for the first time, until the year 70. Brugger wrote and published a book in 1976.
The Ugha Mongulala are considered the oldest civilization in the South American region. Thus, the Chronicle of Akakor narrates the millenary history of the area.
This legend holds many mysteries and questions, which to date continue to be an enigma for archeology. An example of this are the creations of structures such as Machu Pichu or Tiahuanaco .
In fact, even the very region where the Ugha Mongulala live, or the “Akakor region”, is a mystery , as it has never been found.
the Chronicle of Akakor is told in chronological order and begins in the year 13,000 BC. C . when the old gods came from outer space . Upon their arrival, they chose the tribes located in the area of the great Amazon river.
They transmitted culture to them, brought them out of savagery, taught them to cultivate the land, to know and respect the laws of nature and to create their own laws so that they could live in harmony.
They were the guides in the construction of great stone structures and underground and superficial cities. These are the temples for sun worship, pyramids for spirituality.
In addition to an immense network of underground tunnels that cover areas of Peru, Bolivia, reaching Brazil and Venezuela.
Map where the city of Akakor would be.
After 3,000 years of being among them, the gods returned to their world. In the Chronicle of Akakor this date is identified as the Zero Hour which is equivalent to 10,481 years BC. C.
The history of the tribe is also really interesting and captivating; The tribe went through really difficult times; 15,000 years of wars between tribes, natural disasters and the European conquest that almost extinguished them.
Despite the fact that at present, both its existence and the Akakor Chronicle are practically unknown , the invasion that the Amazon is suffering was prophesied by the chieftain Tatunca Nara.
The story told by this leader mentions a period of 10,000 years of existence of the tribe and the chronicle divides it into 4 parts:
Mystery over Jupiter's aurora is SOLVED: X-ray bursts are transported by plasma waves through a similar process to how Earth produces the Northern Lights, scientists say
The 40-year-old mystery of how Jupiter produces a spectacular burst of X-rays every few minutes has been solved in a new study.
University College London (UCL) experts studied data from NASA's Juno spacecraft, which is currently orbiting Jupiter – the largest planet in our Solar System.
They discovered that X-ray flares from Jupiter's north and south poles are triggered by periodic vibrations in the planet's magnetic field lines, in its 'magnetosphere'.
These vibrations create waves of plasma – one of the four fundamental states of matter, consisting of a gas of ions.
The plasma waves then send heavy ion particles 'surfing' along magnetic field lines until they smash into the planet's atmosphere, releasing energy in the form of X-rays and forming a spectacular aurora.
A similar phenomenon occurs on Earth, creating the northern lights, but Jupiter's is much more powerful, releasing hundreds of gigawatts of energy, enough to briefly power all of human civilisation.

UCL researchers worked with experts at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and have published their findings in the journal Science Advances.
'We have seen Jupiter producing X-ray aurora for four decades, but we didn't know how this happened,' said study author Dr William Dunn at UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory.
'We only knew they were produced when ions crashed into the planet's atmosphere.
'Now we know these ions are transported by plasma waves – an explanation that has not been proposed before, even though a similar process produces Earth's own aurora.
'It could, therefore, be a universal phenomenon, present across many different environments in space.'
For the study, researchers analysed observations of Jupiter and its surrounding environment carried out continuously over a 26-hour period by Juno and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton satellite, which is in Earth's own orbit.
They found a clear correlation between waves in the plasma detected by Juno and X-ray auroral flares at Jupiter's north pole recorded by X-MM Newton.

For the first time, astronomers have seen the way Jupiter's magnetic field is compressed, which heats the particles and directs them along the magnetic field lines down into the atmosphere of Jupiter, sparking the X-ray aurora
They then used computer modelling to confirm that the waves would drive the heavy particles towards Jupiter's atmosphere.
Why the magnetic field lines vibrate periodically – the trigger for the whole process – is unclear.
But one possible explanation is the vibration results from interactions with the solar wind or from high-speed plasma flows within Jupiter's magnetosphere.
X-ray auroras occur at Jupiter's north and south poles, often with clockwork regularity, according to the team.
During their window of observation, Jupiter was producing bursts of X-rays every 27 minutes.
Now the team have identified the whole process, they believe similar processes likely occur around Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and maybe even exoplanets – planets outside our Solar System.
'X-rays are typically produced by extremely powerful and violent phenomena such as black holes and neutron stars, so it seems strange that mere planets produce them too,' said study author Professor Graziella Branduardi-Raymont at UCL.
'We can never visit black holes, as they are beyond space travel, but Jupiter is on our doorstep.
'With the arrival of the satellite Juno into Jupiter's orbit, astronomers now have a fantastic opportunity to study an environment that produces X-rays up close.'

Juno is pictured here in an artist's impression as it approaches Jupiter. Launched a decade ago, Juno has been orbiting Jupiter for five years
Juno launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida nearly a decade ago – on August 5, 2011 – to study Jupiter from orbit.
A rotating, solar-powered spacecraft, Juno arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016, after making its five-year journey.
It has three giant blades stretching out some 66 feet (20 meters) from its cylindrical, six-sided body.
Juno will continue its investigation of the solar system’s largest planet through September 2025, or until the spacecraft’s end of life.
An interactive NASA tool is providing real-time updates of Juno's location relative to Jupiter and its moons.

Mysterie over poollicht op Jupiter opgehelderdWetenschappers zijn erin geslaagd om te achterhalen hoe het poollicht (aurora) op Jupiter precies ontstaat. Daarmee losten ze een 40 jaar oud mysterie op, zo maakte het Europese ruimteagentschap ESA bekend.
Op Aarde ontstaat poollicht wanneer elektrisch geladen deeltjes van de zon (die door de zonnewind onze planeet bereiken) door het aardmagnetisch veld worden afgebogen naar de polen en er botsen met deeltjes in de atmosfeer. Op Aarde zijn aurora's alleen zichtbaar in de zogenaamde poollichtovalen (tussen 65 en 80 graden noorder- en zuiderbreedte). Boven die breedtegraden komen ze niet voor door de open magnetische veldlijnen, die zijn verbonden met de zonnewind.
Mocht het er op Jupiter hetzelfde aan toegaan, zouden geen grote aurora's verwacht worden op de planeet. De lichtverschijnselen hebben er dan ook andere kenmerken. Omdat de gasreus ook boven de voornaamste poollichtovalen gesloten veldlijnen heeft, die de planeet aan de ene kan verlaten en aan de andere kant weer raken, komen ze ook bij de eigenlijke polen voor. Bovendien pulseert het poollicht met regelmaat en is het soms verschillend aan de noord- en zuidpool.
Op basis van de röntgenstralen die bij de aurora's op Jupiter vrijkomen, konden wetenschappers al uitvissen dat ze worden veroorzaakt door elektrisch geladen atomen (ionen) die in de atmosfeer neerstorten. Maar hoe die geladen deeltjes in de eerste plaats tot in de atmosfeer van de grootste planeet van ons zonnestelsel raken, bleef tot nu een raadsel.
Astrofysicus Zhonghua Yao (onderzoeker bij het Instituut voor Geologie en Geofysica in Peking en in het verleden onder meer verbonden aan de ULiège) werkte samen met enkele collega's computersimulaties uit die de pulserende röntgenaurora's linkten aan gesloten magnetische velden die diep in Jupiter ontstaan, vervolgens miljoenen kilometers de ruimte ingaan en daarna weer terugkeren.
Een groep astrofysici onder leiding van Yao en William Dunn (Mullard Space Science Laboratory van de University College London) greep die simulaties aan om te achterhalen hoe de ionen precies in de poolgebieden van Jupiter terechtkomen. Daarvoor analyseerden ze data van de ESA-satelliet XMM-Newton en het onbemande ruimtevaarttuig Juno van het Amerikaanse ruimtebureau NASA. De XMM-Newton, die in een baan rond de Aarde draait, observeert Jupiter vanop afstand met röntgentelescopen, terwijl Juno rond de gasreus cirkelt en gegevens binnen het magnetische veld van de planeet verzamelt.
Ze ontdekten dat de röntgenaurora's worden veroorzaakt door schommelingen in het magnetisch veld van Jupiter. Terwijl de planeet roteert, trekt ze zijn magnetisch veld mee, dat wordt geraakt door geladen deeltjes van de zonnewind en zo wordt samengedrukt. Die compressies verhitten deeltjes die gevangen zitten in het magnetisch veld, met elektromagnetische ion-cyclotrongolven, of EMIC-golven, tot gevolg. Daarbij worden de ionen langs de magnetische veldlijnen miljoenen kilometers door de ruimte geleid, tot ze weer neerstorten in de atmosfeer en zo poollicht creëren.
"Wat we in de data van Juno zien, is een prachtige opeenvolging van gebeurtenissen. We zien de compressie gebeuren, we zien de EMIC-golf ontstaan, we zien de ionen, en dan zien we de ionen langs de veldlijnen reizen", legt Dunn uit. "Een paar minuten later ziet XMM een uitbarsting van röntgenstralen."
Dat wetenschappers nu het proces van de röntgenaurora's op Jupiter hebben ontrafeld, helpt ook bij het begrip van andere planeten met poollicht. "Dit is een fundamenteel proces dat van toepassing is bij Saturnus, Uranus, Neptunus en waarschijnlijk ook exoplaneten (planeten die draaien rond andere sterren dan de zon, red.)", zegt Yao.

Lunar pyramidal structures? “The reason why we have not returned to the Moon”

For decades, many people have wondered why humanity has not returned to the Moon . What is the reason? Why haven’t they said anything about it?
However thanks to the publications made by a group of former NASA scientists , which revealed the location of pyramidal structures located on the lunar surface.
Edgar Mitchell, former NASA astronauts and the sixth person to walk on the Moon , at this time it can already be said that humanity is not alone in the universe.
It is believed that world powers have kept all kinds of information on this subject safe. Especially from what was found on the Moon during the moon landings .
Mitchell stated that every NASA worker must take an oath of confidentiality . However, this has not been enough and many employees have disclosed what is hidden.
One of the most important characters in this disclosure is John Brandenburg , a scientist with a Ph.D. in Plasma Physics, a consultant at Monrningstar Applied Physics LLC, and a part-time professor at Madison College of astronomy, physics, and mathematics.
Brandenburg was part of NASA during the Clementine mission , which was done in conjunction with the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization. The goal was to thoroughly investigate the satellite.
It was thanks to this mission that the existence of water was discovered at the lunar poles . However, the scientist said that “something else” was found.
Photographic reconnaissance revealed the existence of advanced pyramidal bases and structures on the lunar surface.
Several former employees have revealed the existence of pyramidal structures and bases on the Moon.
Among the images, a kind of straight wall stands out, measuring approximately a mile wide . This showed that, obviously, it was an artificial structure .
But the most worrying thing about the matter is that the representative of the Defense Organization said nothing . It was obvious that none of those structures were human. Why was he silent?
However, Brandenburg is not the only one to divulge this information. The first person to tell this was Ken Johnston , former director of NASA’s Department of Space Photographic Evidence.
The scientist stated that, during his working days, he was able to observe original images of the lunar surface, where there were several pyramidal structures.
In addition, he said that all information of this type is protected by high-ranking US government officials. The one that reaches the public is always manipulated.
Shortly after giving these statements, NASA declared that it never had a relationship with Ken Johnston. However, there is evidence that needs no explanation:
The photos that NASA published in 1950 and the clear differences that exist with the most recent ones. The latter, clearly, are manipulated .
What was actually found on the Moon? Why has the satellite not been stepped on again when the technology is now much more advanced? There has to be a real compelling reason .

UFO Sighted Over Joshua Tree, California ( July 3, 2021 )
STATEMENT : Hi. Had an incredible occurrence Saturday night (July 3). Four is us went to Joshua Tree for hopeful ET sightings. Although a great night no sightings. However driving home while on the 10 freeway I spotted a huge object motionless in the middle of the sky. No sound no propulsion. It was hovering right in front above us in the air. I wanted to take photos and videos because it was up close and clear but there was no way to safely pull over on the freeway initially. And to take photos at night out a moving window would not work (although we did try).
I was amazed that no one else on the freeway had a reaction to this large craft. I could not understand how the trucks and cars kept driving by. It was about 3:15 AM (we left the dessert very late, LOL). Only the four of us in Rob Rowes truck had any recognition and response to it. I was wondering when we returned where to look for any postings about sightings? We attempted to do a few Google searches under: “UFO, sighting, today, California” but had no results. Any suggestions?
UAP / UFO Sighted Calgary - Vancouver Flight
The Canadian UAP
Dennis Pena was travelling back from a holiday at a spiritual retreat in Calgary to his home in Vancouver. On the flight he came across a very strange glowing light form right outside his aircraft window. Dennis just could not make any sense of what he was seeing with his own eyes. At first Dennis thought it was the sun reflecting on the window, but then he realised that it was not behaving in accordance with the logic of the sun rays and flares on the window. So he waved his fingers in front of it, thinking maybe it's something in the airplane reflecting on the window.
That wasn't it either.
Then at around the 1:15 mark in the video the plane happened to lean slightly and you could clearly now see the wing and the light intersect and it appears that the light gets covered by the wing and it reappears behind the wing... meaning clearly the light was not a reflection on the aircraft window.
So what was it?
Dennis looked back into the cabin and down his row to see if anyone else was seeing this as well but all had pulled down their window shade to cover the sun.
Dennis was the only one with his window more than halfway open.
Is the sun reflecting something off the plane and it creating a strange glow in the clouds? Dennis says that it looked intense. And it's was just floating out there. Moving at a steady pace. Maybe even slightly faster than the commercial airline he was travelling in.
It kind of reminded Dennis of the footage the army or the navy caught on video of a weird flying object in the sky at night.
Anyway... Dennis sums it off poignantly ... " I don't know what this was that I saw so clearly ... I just wonder if the pilots saw it, too...! "
Any answers to Dennis's questions ?
Watch the complete unedited video that Dennis Pena captured on his mobile camera while travelling on a commercial flight between Calgary and Vancouver

A tiny bone is changing how we think about Neanderthals
(CNN) A tiny piece of bone that once belonged to a giant Ice Age deer is changing how we think about Neanderthals.
"The phalanx from Einhornhöhle with its stacked offset chevrons represents one of the most complex cultural expressions in Neanderthals known so far," according to a study that published Monday in the journal Nature.

51,000-Year-Old Ornament Was Created by Neanderthals

A recent discovery of a bone ornament in Einhornhöhle cave in the northern part of Germany has shed new light on how creative Neanderthals were. An ancient toe bone (also called a phalanx) belonging to a giant deer had geometric patterns engraved into it that date back at least 51,000 years.
It is believed that this is the oldest ever work of art associated with Neanderthals. Other ancient items have been found connected to Neanderthals such as eagle talons that were made into pendants and old cave paintings, but their ages are still being disputed.
This discovery is very significant in regards to learning more information about the creativity of Neanderthals since there has been a lot of debate on this topic. The study read in part, “The phalanx from Einhornhöhle with its stacked offset chevrons represents one of the most complex cultural expressions in Neanderthals known so far.” Since the chevron design on the bone also contained three uniform parallel lines, it is believed that it was intentionally created as a possible ornament.
The ornament was created from a deer bone.
In order to get a better understanding of how the ornament was created, the researchers attempted to make their own version of it. The first thing they did was attempt to recreate the ornament with stone blades from Baltic flint and carved five Limousin cow bones that were all treated differently (fresh, room dried, air dried, boiled once, and boiled twice).
Dirk Leder, who is a research associate at the State Service for Cultural Heritage Lower Saxony, Hannover, Germany, explained that the fresh bone was extremely difficult to work on as the tools were always slipping off of it. They realized that the boiled bones provided a much softer “mellow” surface to carve with the finished product looking quite similar to the original. Furthermore, it took them approximately 1.5 hours to complete the engravings by scraping and cutting the bone.
Silvia M. Bello, who is a researcher at the Centre for Human Evolution Research, Department of Earth Sciences, at the Natural History Museum in London but was not involved with the study, described the intention behind the creation, “The choice of material, its preparation before carving and the skillful technique used for the engraving are all indicative of sophisticated expertise and great ability in bone working,” adding, “The presence of incisions artistically arranged in a chevron pattern on the bone of a giant deer, supports the symbolic meaning of this find and raises new questions about how complex Neanderthal behavior might have been.”
Even though Homo sapiens arrived in Europe at the same time that Neanderthals were there and they did interact with one another, it is believed that the carved deer bone was of “independent Neanderthal authorship” and had no link to Homo sapiens. (A picture of the bone ornament can be seen here.)

The study was published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution where it can be read in full.
The UFO Phenomenon: A Catalog of Nothing But Total Weirdness

Today, I’m going to share with you a number of UFO cases that are not just amazing or incredible. Rather, they are downright crazy. You’ll quickly see what I mean. Here’s our first case of absolute weirdness. It comes from Men in Black expert, Gareth J. Medway. He says of an MIB case that occurred on November 1, 1973: “At the start of a UFO wave in New Hampshire, Florence Dow heard a thumping sound on her porch. Looking out, she saw a man in a black coat and a wide-brimmed black hat, with what appeared to be a face covered with masking tape.” Precisely why anyone might want to cover their face with masking tape after a UFO report is anyone’s guess. And I don’t have a guess!” One more from Gareth: this one comes from January 26, 1986. As Gareth reports it: “About 7.30 pm Paul Rebek of Epping, New South Wales, received a visit from a man who said: ‘Hello sir, I am a representative of the Uranus Peanut Company. Would you like to sample my wares?’ He bought some peanuts off him, and was told: ‘Thank you. The Council will remember you favorably. Good night.’ He turned, but seemed to vanish after a few steps. Rebek thought it must have been ‘a spectral Man In Black.'”
Mary Hyre was a woman who played an integral role in the series of 1960s-era events that led John Keel to write The Mothman Prophecies. In January 1967, Hyre was visited by a creepy, bowl-haired man of around 5-feet in height and who had oddly hypnotic eyes. Throughout the encounter, the black-clad character kept staring at Hyre’s ballpoint pen. To the point where Hyre told him he could keep it. The man did so, laughed loud in a strange fashion, and vanished as mysteriously as he first arrived. Whatever floats your boat, I guess! Moving on: in 1961, a Wisconsin chicken-farmer named Joe Simonton claimed to have met aliens who landed on his property in a classic flying saucer-style craft. They were said to be very human-looking entities, who had an “Italian” appearance, and generously gave the stunned Simonton three pancakes that one of the crew-members happily cooked on his alien grill! And with their good deed for the day duly accomplished, the aliens were gone – presumably to fill the bellies of even more astounded souls.
Simonton, holding the ‘alien pancake’ he kept
What about a dog inside a UFO? Yep. Back in November 1980, a then-serving English policeman named Alan Godfrey had a profound UFO encounter in Todmorden, Yorkshire – a pleasant locale that has its origins in the 17th century. Godfrey’s encounter came just five months after he was involved in the investigation of a curious death in town. The victim was a man named Zigmund Adamski. As most people will know, the not exactly common name of Adamski is a very famous one in Ufology. It was just one of those strange synchronicities that proliferate when the UFO phenomenon looms large. As for Godfrey’s UFO encounter, it occurred undercover of darkness, in the pre-dawn morning of November 29, 1980, while he was out on patrol in his police-car. As he drove along one particular stretch of road, Godfrey was amazed by the sight of what he first thought was a bus positioned oddly in the road. As Godfrey got closer, however, he could see it was something else entirely. It was actually nothing less than a somewhat egg-shaped UFO.
There then followed an experience that contained certain, key elements of the UFO phenomenon, such as missing-time, and recollections of being taken on-board a craft. However, the entity Godfrey was confronted by on the craft was not the typical black-eyed, dwarfish “Grey.” Rather, it was a human-looking figure dressed in a long gown and sporting a beard. That wasn’t all, though: While undergoing hypnotic regression, Godfrey said that also aboard the UFO was a large black dog. This was not the first encounter Godfrey had with an anomalous hound. Years earlier, he had seen a ghostly Labrador. There was also an odd occasion – in the 1960s, and near Todmorden – when what seemed to be a woman with a large black dog stepped out in front of Godfrey’s vehicle, causing him to slam the brakes on. Both the woman and the dog vanished.
Every now and then a story will surface that is so bizarre, yet also intriguing, that it is almost impossible to categorize. Such a story comes from Jan, a woman who encountered a small UFO – as in extremely small – in the southwest of the U.K.. Jan was walking through nearby woods with her dog early one morning when she heard a loud buzzing noise that quickly filled her ears – and clearly those of her dog, too. Puzzled, she looked around, but it was all to no avail – at least, for around two minutes. Then, everything became amazingly clear. As if out of nowhere, a small flying saucer appeared before her, hovering at a height of around four feet off the ground, in a small clearing in the trees. It was circular in shape, silver in color, and had a red band around its middle. And, it was barely four-feet across! She watched, astonished, as the diminutive craft settled to the ground – in decidedly wobbly fashion – and a small door opened. Jan still recalls holding her breath, wondering what might happen next. She soon found out. Out of the door flew three, three-to-four-inches long small humanoid figures: clearly female and glowing brightly, they fluttered around Jan for a minute or two, dressed in silvery mini-skirts! At one point the tiny trio landed on Jan’s right arm, smiled, then flew back into the craft, which shot away into the skies, never to be seen again. Such rogue cases are so often dismissed by Ufology; yet they are weirdly engaging and not at all rare.
It’s official: Ufology is weird!
Seeing the Real Faces of the Aliens? Nightmarish Situations

My previous article was on the subject of Philip Corso’s controversial claims in relation to the July 1947 “Roswell UFO Crash” in Lincoln County, New Mexico. The article was mostly on the possibility that the “bodies” found at the crash site were what we might call, in simple terms, “biological robots.” And, that they were constructed, rather than born. This makes me wonder if – should the theory have any merit to it, of course – that the mysterious makers of those biological robots might also be behind the likes of the Men in Black, the Women in Black, the Black Eyed Children, and so on – all of who look creepily odd. There’s a reason why I specifically say all of this. There’s no doubt there are a lot of accounts of people who have encountered strange-looking people and that we might call “semi-humans.” And there’s no doubt that most of the witnesses to these things have said that it’s the faces that gave them away – which is hardly surprising. After all, it’s largely our faces that define us. With that said, let’s take a look at the cases of a few, really creepy-looking people who might not even be human.
Denise Stoner, co-author with Kathleen Marden on The Alien Abduction Files, told me a bizarre but fascinating story. It involved her husband and occurred in Florida only a couple of years ago. Denise said: “My husband’s run-in with a possible WIB [Woman in Black] was a few days ago when he decided he would take a bike ride around a lake he travels around on a regular basis and knows it well. If he is feeling pretty energetic, he begins near a pool and park complex, rides the trail nearby and then turns into an area that has a Vet memorial then on around the lake that used to be part of the Navy Base – now new housing. When he entered the path, there was a woman jogging with one of those jogging strollers but the top was down so he could not see a baby inside. This woman had sunglasses on that wrapped around her head and looked way too large for her head. She was thin and about 6 ft. tall. She smiled at my husband as he passed on his bike. She was very thin and pale skinned. He still did not feel uncomfortable because not much scares him. He just thought she was a weird person. As he approached her, she dropped her sunglasses to show him huge black eyes that we at least 4X human size and they wrapped around the side of her head. She grinned again and this time he noticed she did not have a real nose; plus her mouth was long and thin with no teeth – only a dark gap.” Denise’s husband quit the area – quickly.
The Black Eyed Children are very much the same: at first glance they look like us, but the closer you get, the weirder things get. Their skin is, to say the least, nothing like ours. It’s plastic-like. One called it “kinda like wax.” Their faces are often like those of a mannequin. Plain, bland, lacking in emotion, and as if sculpted. Or, right out of a factory. One witness said: “His face was so thin and his skin was strange and almost a see-through milky color, no hair that I could see.” Others have said that the BEC seem to have come out on conveyor-belts. In other words, the witnesses got the feeling these things were machines, rather than real children, and being dispatched to perform particular tasks. What those tasks might be, it’s hard to know, since the BEC are elusive on almost every occasion. One other thing regarding the BEC: it’s almost always their not-quite-normal faces that give them away.
In 2015, Dr. David M. Jacobs’ book, Walking Among Us: The Alien Plan to Control Humanity, was published. As the title alone suggests, this is an extremely controversial book. Although it is heavily focused on so-called “alien abductees,” it is not actually about abduction events, at all. Rather, its focus is on how abductees are allegedly being used to assist alien-human hybrids whose role it is to infiltrate human society. And, yes, that word “infiltrate” is intended to suggest that nothing good can come from all of this. Or, from any of it. We’re talking about the way in which potentially hostile aliens – with no real regard for us, the Human Race – are working towards a certain, fateful day. A day when the Earth will be so heavily infested with these part-ET/part-human things that the invasion, take-over, and/or extermination, will be completed before we’ll have even a single chance to do anything about it. Yes, I said it was controversial. Even Jacobs notes this when he says: “My research has uncovered a substantial presence of hybrids living on Earth…”
Are all of these strange-looking characters something along the lines of a biological robot? It sounds totally nutty. Just maybe, though, it’s not.
The White Rock Mystery: What is This Odd Feature at the Center of a Martian Crater?

For as long as photographs depicting the surface of Mars have been made available by NASA and other space agencies conducting studies of the Red Planet, online sleuths have scoured the images in search of possible anomalies.
Over the years, claims of everything from alien spacecraft and even possible alien skulls, to Bigfoot have turned up in imagery depicting the Martian surface. However, what this really constitutes is an exercise in pareidolia and only shows us, for the most part, how active the human imagination can be.
Perhaps not everything unusual that has been observed on the Martian surface seems quite so outlandish though. One instance involves a peculiar formation that was first spotted more than three decades ago when the Mariner 9 spacecraft managed to photograph the peculiar feature within a crater located near the Martian equator.
On the 58-mile-wide Pollack Crater floor, there appeared to be an unusual-looking region with a lighter coloration than the surrounding Martian terrain. Estimated to be 8.5 by 11 miles in size (think of a standard sheet of printing paper, albeit greatly enlarged), the weird feature was not only a peculiar whitish color but appeared to possess unusual grooves running along its surface.
Dubbed “White Rock,” the object was subsequently also photographed by the Viking Orbiter and presented a unique series of questions. What was the object, and what caused it to stand out so sharply against the rest of the Martian terrain?
Although the notion that it might represent an ice formation immediately springs to mind, White Rock’s location close to the Martian equator would easily rule this out. So what is this unusual feature?
If not ice, some scientists who continued to puzzle over White Rock began to suspect that it might represent a deposit of water-rich sediments, similar to salts that collect along the surface of dry lake beds in deserts on Earth. This would seem plausible, especially because later in 2004, such deposits were indeed found by NASA’s Opportunity rover while exploring the Meridiani Planum.
Backtracking to 2001, however, with the deployment of NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor orbiter and its Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) instrument, new clues emerged about the mysterious White Rock at the bottom of Pollack Crater. With the new spectrographic information, scientists were able to determine that White Rock showed no signs of water and, in fact, wasn’t white at all: its coloration closely matched other lighter regions on the Martian surface.
Part of what led to the confusion had been an optical illusion presented by the sharp contrast between the lighter material, which rises from the surface of the feature in the form of ridges shaped over time by wind, placed alongside darker basaltic sand (the latter can particularly be observed toward the feature’s northern side, where a field of dark basaltic dunes exists).
While most scientists would agree that wind action played a significant role in the formation of the peculiar White Rock formation, estimates about its direction vary. Some of the grooves apparent on the feature seem to indicate an easterly or southeastern wind that could have shaped them over time, while others interpret that a wind approaching from the west would have done the job.

This before-and-after pair of images of the same patch of ground in front of NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity 13 days apart documents the arrival of a strange, bright rock at the scene. The rock, called "Pinnacle Island," is seen in the right image on Jan. 8, 2014. The image at left was taken on Dec. 26, 2013.

Opportunity has been exploring Mars since Jan. 24, 2004, when it landed on the Red Planet a few weeks after its robotic twin Spirit. Both` rovers far outlasted their original 90-day mission, with Opportunity still driving today. Spirit's mission officially ended in 2011, several months after the rover stopped communicating with Earth.
Although White Rock initially seemed to stand out from other Martian features with its unusual light coloration, similar features have since been located at places like Ganges Chasma, where another bright grooved region rising from the surface can be seen to almost match the mysterious appearance of White Rock perfectly.
So as it turns out, White Rock isn’t so white, and in fact, it isn’t really a rock either… but it helps illustrate how astronomers are closing in on explaining even some of the more plausible anomalies on the Martian surface.
The White Rock Mystery: What is This Odd Feature at the Center of a Martian Crater?

For as long as photographs depicting the surface of Mars have been made available by NASA and other space agencies conducting studies of the Red Planet, online sleuths have scoured the images in search of possible anomalies.
Over the years, claims of everything from alien spacecraft and even possible alien skulls, to Bigfoot have turned up in imagery depicting the Martian surface. However, what this really constitutes is an exercise in pareidolia and only shows us, for the most part, how active the human imagination can be.
Perhaps not everything unusual that has been observed on the Martian surface seems quite so outlandish though. One instance involves a peculiar formation that was first spotted more than three decades ago when the Mariner 9 spacecraft managed to photograph the peculiar feature within a crater located near the Martian equator.
On the 58-mile-wide Pollack Crater floor, there appeared to be an unusual-looking region with a lighter coloration than the surrounding Martian terrain. Estimated to be 8.5 by 11 miles in size (think of a standard sheet of printing paper, albeit greatly enlarged), the weird feature was not only a peculiar whitish color but appeared to possess unusual grooves running along its surface.
Dubbed “White Rock,” the object was subsequently also photographed by the Viking Orbiter and presented a unique series of questions. What was the object, and what caused it to stand out so sharply against the rest of the Martian terrain?
Although the notion that it might represent an ice formation immediately springs to mind, White Rock’s location close to the Martian equator would easily rule this out. So what is this unusual feature?
If not ice, some scientists who continued to puzzle over White Rock began to suspect that it might represent a deposit of water-rich sediments, similar to salts that collect along the surface of dry lake beds in deserts on Earth. This would seem plausible, especially because later in 2004, such deposits were indeed found by NASA’s Opportunity rover while exploring the Meridiani Planum.
Backtracking to 2001, however, with the deployment of NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor orbiter and its Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) instrument, new clues emerged about the mysterious White Rock at the bottom of Pollack Crater. With the new spectrographic information, scientists were able to determine that White Rock showed no signs of water and, in fact, wasn’t white at all: its coloration closely matched other lighter regions on the Martian surface.
Part of what led to the confusion had been an optical illusion presented by the sharp contrast between the lighter material, which rises from the surface of the feature in the form of ridges shaped over time by wind, placed alongside darker basaltic sand (the latter can particularly be observed toward the feature’s northern side, where a field of dark basaltic dunes exists).
While most scientists would agree that wind action played a significant role in the formation of the peculiar White Rock formation, estimates about its direction vary. Some of the grooves apparent on the feature seem to indicate an easterly or southeastern wind that could have shaped them over time, while others interpret that a wind approaching from the west would have done the job.

Scientists Say One Thing Could Have Caused This Much Methane on Saturn’s Moon — Life

The search for methane on other planets is a key element in the search for life on other planets because one cause of the carbon gas is the decaying of organic matter. Unfortunately for life searchers, the most common cause of methane is abiotic or inorganic — either because of magmatic (volcanic) processes or via water-rock reactions that occur at low temperatures and pressures. That’s why the discovery of giant water plumes containing methane erupting from the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus by Cassini spacecraft generated mixed reactions from scientists depending on whether they saw their glass of possible life half empty or half full. The level of that glass just increased with the release of a new study which determined that no known process could generate as much methane as that erupting in plumes on Enceladus. Is it life … or something else?

“Here we use a Bayesian statistical approach to quantify the probability that methanogenesis (biotic methane production) might explain the escape rates of molecular hydrogen and methane in Enceladus’s plume, as measured by Cassini instruments”.
Scientists at the University of Arizona and Paris Sciences & Lettres University knew the best way to determine if the methane was being generated by Earthlike microbes eating dihydrogen and producing methane in such huge quantities would be to be to go where they are – on the seafloor of one of the water bodies on Enceladus. Since that’s not currently possible, they did the next best thing — develop mathematical models to calculate the probability of the different known processes of methane generation, both biological and abiotic, captured in the Cassini data. The researchers used the Bayesian statistics approach which expresses probability as a degree of belief in an event.
“We find that the observed escape rates (1) cannot be explained solely by the abiotic alteration of the rocky core by serpentinization; (2) are compatible with the hypothesis of habitable conditions for methanogens; and (3) score the highest likelihood under the hypothesis of methanogenesis, assuming that the probability of life emerging is high enough”.
That’s as close as the authors of the study, published in the journal Nature Astronomy, will get to saying, “We’re not saying it’s alien life, but it’s alien life”. In the University of Arizona press release, Régis Ferrière, an associate professor in the University of Arizona Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and one of the study’s two lead authors, explains that the results show that even the highest possible estimate of abiotic methane production based on known hydrothermal chemistry is far from sufficient to explain the methane concentration measured in the plumes. Add it together with the probability of biological methanogenesis and the model shows the combination could produce enough methane to match Cassini’s observations. In other words, the probability of life on Enceladus at some point in time just made the glass more than half full.

Then again, it’s just a model. Missions to Enceladus which would settle the argument have been proposed since 2006, with half already canceled and half under study – but none funded and planned. Will this study push the Enceladus mission needle to the ‘planned, funded and scheduled’ side anytime soon? We can only hope.

Clarifying the UFO landscape?
Copyright 2021, InterAmerica, Inc.
My son, Josh, who a few of you met recently, would appreciate it if I’d make clear what my view(s) is (or are) on schizophrenics, UFO visions, and psychopathologies among the UFO fringe; the topic that took up a portion of the July 4th weekend.
When I write that schizophrenics actually see what they say they see, and sometimes present those visions in art and scribblings, I’m saying that they are not making up their visions. They really see what they report, sometimes incoherently but “reliably.”
Yes, some visions (many perhaps) come from neural creations that aren’t actually in front of the observers’ eyes but are what they are seeing.
Are the images real, in a material way? Yes and/or No. Some are material and perceived by sensory vision. Others are contrived from neural memory or creative delusions.
Two papers consider the issue(s):
An integrated network model of psychotic symptoms Jasper Looijestijn a, Jan Dirk Bloma,b, André Alemanc, Hans W. Hoeka,b,d, Rutger Goekoopa,∗ a Parnassia Psychiatric Institute, Kiwistraat 43, The Hague 2552
Are persistent delusions in schizophrenia associated with aberrant salience? Rafeef Abboud a,1, Jonathan P. Roiser a,⁎,1, Hind Khalifeh b,c,d, Sheila Ali a, Isobel Harrison b,c, Helen T. Killaspy b,c, Eileen M. Joyce ea Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, 17 Queen Square, London
As you see, the matter is couched in psychiatric jargon; the persons afflicted are psychotic or delusional.
But are they? Not necessarily. What they see or experience can be real and is often real in a material way. That is when a persons says they see something or saw something, they did. Material reality and intangible reality need not be odd-fellows. They are often bed-fellows – observations as “real” as anything “normal” persons experience daily.
So, how can we discount – or why do we discount — these rapacious ravings or wildly offered renderings out of hand?
No one is pressing the confluence, while some are trying to juxtapose psychedelic and pharmacological into the mix, a wrong-headed approach to reality as I see it. Contrived intrusions into a brain bombards that brain’s mechanisms with biologic flotsam, which adds one more side-bar to what is happening, that side-bar flooded with non-real information.
The problem – one of many – for ufologists is separating the sociopath’s rendering of a UFO event from normal AND schizophrenic accounts.
Psychopaths abound in the UFO community. I have recently seen, among the offerings in the Facebook UFO groups, some of the most tawdry forms of UFO chicanery, stories of abductions and observations that make schizophrenic accounts pale by comparison.
How can any serious UFO researcher cope with such nonsense? They can’t. There are few, if any, qualified UFO enthusiasts with the credentials and training to ferret out the fraudulent reports from the credible reports.
Facebook remains the fount from which sociopaths spring forth, and they overwhelm, making the social media site and those within partners in a social insanity” not unlike that experienced by the nuns of Loudon or the Dutch during the tulip craze of 1637:

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk talks Starship space telescopes, artificial gravity
In his latest batch of tweets, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says that the company is already thinking about the many potential ways its next-generation Starship launch vehicle could be used in space.
Already, ideas publicly touted by the SpaceX CEO range from using Cargo Starships to clean up space debris with its mouth-like payload bay to a stripped-down, expendable variant of the rocket to rapidly send massive spacecraft throughout the solar system. Now, Musk says that SpaceX has also considered tethering Starships together in space to create a form of artificial gravity for passengers on multi-month journeys between planets, as well as the possibility of turning entire Starships into all-in-one orbital observatories a magnitude more powerful than Hubble.
Since SpaceX first began discussing Starship and its predecessors, the potential to launch massive space telescopes has always been close by. (SpaceX)Apparently invoked during discussions with astrophysicist and Nobel laureate Saul Perlmutter, at least parts of the physics community are already considering the possibilities offered by using Starship as a sort of foundation or spacecraft bus that could carry and operate vast scientific payloads. While Starship has already been officially floated several times as a serious contender for launch services for major future missions, this concept would instead see Starship function as the spacecraft itself.
As of 2021, Starship has yet to reach space or orbit once, but SpaceX isn’t far from that milestone. Eventually, perhaps just a few years from now, Starship will have successfully launched to and operated in orbit dozens or even hundreds of times and become a mature and reliable spacecraft.
Yeah, that would be cool. Also, using ship itself as structure for new giant telescope that’s >10X Hubble resolution. Was talking to Saul Perlmutter (who’s awesome) & he suggested wanting to do that.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 7, 2021
At that point, it wouldn’t be out of the question to entrust Starships themselves to serve as long-lasting scientific spacecraft, exploiting a ‘bus’ that could offer abundant power, propulsion, thermal management, navigation, and communications capabilities to any ‘hosted’ payloads. That includes extensively modifying Starships on the ground to create vast space observatories, among numerous other possibilities.
Given Starship’s low production cost, 9-meter (~30 ft) diameter, and nominal ability to deliver at least 100 metric tons (~220,000 lb) of payload to low Earth orbit (LEO), it’s not inconceivable that ships could be outfitted with massive telescopes and scientific instruments. Perhaps more importantly, drastically reduced payload constraints (more than an order of magnitude relative to the Hubble or James Webb telescopes) could allow major innovation in spacecraft/instrument design, radically lowering costs while still improving reliability, redundancy, and performance.
Meanwhile, Musk says that SpaceX has also considered tethering crewed Starships together and spinning them around the center of that tether to create artificial gravity for crewmembers on months-long journeys between Earth, Mars, and other planets. Among fan communities, the tethered gravity concept has been circulating ever since SpaceX first announced Starship in 2016. Loosely researched by NASA and other institutions for decades, no real experimental efforts – save for a single halting test during a 1960s Gemini mission – have ever been pursued.
For Starship, orbital refueling could easily allow SpaceX to cut crewed Earth-Mars transit time to 100 days or less – subjecting astronauts to significantly less time in microgravity than those that crew the International Space Station (ISS). The value proposition of artificial gravity on 3-month cruises is likely substantially less clear-cut given the far-reaching complexity and modifications required to make such a system functional and make Starships compatible.
Regardless, Musk rather cryptically says that SpaceX has considered the concept, though he didn’t elaborate on whether the company ultimately decided to drop the subject or pursue it further.

The Cosmic Hoax: What's Coming?
UFO Cover-Up Inside the U.S. Government

In 1952 cameras spotted UFOs flying over the White House lawn in Washington D.C. – these sightings eventually lead to Project Blue Book, created by the U.S. government, in this clip from Season 5, “Aliens and Cover-Ups.”
“IF WE HAVEN'T REALLY UNDERSTOOD HUMAN EMOTIONS, CAN WE ACTUALLY ... PUT THEM INTO MACHINES?”
“IF WE HAVEN'T REALLY UNDERSTOOD HUMAN EMOTIONS, CAN WE ACTUALLY ... PUT THEM INTO MACHINES?”
SAY CHEESE - Bilge Mutlu, University of Wisconsin at Madison
WHEN IT COMES TO EXPRESSING EMOTIONS, HUMAN FACES HAVE A LOT TO SAY.
Without speaking a word, we can signal our disgust to those around us with pursed lips and a furrowed brow. Our joy is expressed just as fast: Eyes open wide and lips upturned. Like an overturned flag signaling otherwise unnoticeable distress on a ship at sea, our facial expressions act as a bridge between our internal life and the outside world.
While other humans are generally good at picking up on these small signals, we may soon have another group with which to communicate: intelligent robot companions. From service robots delivering our takeout to companion bots bonding with our grandparents, it’s becoming more important to design robots that use emotion-like signaling to efficiently relate to humans.
But achieving this feat is easier said than done, and getting it wrong could doom a robot to reside in the “uncanny valley” — forever ruining their hopes of a true human relationship.
Enter Eva, a blue-skinned, body-less robot designed by Boyuan Chen, a computer science Ph.D. student at Columbia University, and colleagues from Columbia’s Creative Machines Lab. With 12 tiny muscle-like actuators built into its face, Eva is prepared to express a myriad of human emotions — from fear to joy to disgust.
Chen tells Inverse that he and the rest of the team behind Eva aren’t even sure exactly how many emotions it can express.
“Can you tell me how many expressions you can make?” Chen asks me. “It’s a very hard question to answer and it’s the same for the robot. I'm happy to see this happen because if we know the exact number [of emotions], that means there are limits. We do not know the number, [so] there are no limits.”

As for why you’d want to create a smiling robot at all, Chen says that developing robots that can hold their own in human-like interactions — such as reading distress in a human companion and responding accordingly with a comforting face — will be essential for improving human-machine interactions in the future.
Using emotions as a stepping stone toward building emotional and physical intelligence will help robots in the future intuitively know how to help humans, Chen explains, instead of needing to be explicitly programmed to do so.
“When robots see that other people may need help, you want a robot to actively help the people instead of me asking for help and programming it to help us,” he says.
Paula Niedenthal is an emotions researcher and professor of psychologist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She tells Inverse that working toward emotionally express robots is important as well because humans will read emotions into these robots no matter what. Take, for example, food delivery robots milling the streets around UW Madison.
“The robot's behavior rather than a facial expression can look really emotional because it accelerates when there’s danger,” says Niedenthal. “For example, if a robot is crossing the road and then comes across a car there’s kind of a panicked rearing or running away. That makes you actually feel a kind of relationship with it, both sympathy and wanting to use that agent in the future.”
Eva can show a wide range of expressions, starting from 6 base human emotions: anger, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, and surprise.
Robots that can expertly express these kinds of emotions will have a better chance at building human relationships and even persuading humans to do what they want, i.e. taking their medicine on time.
But having a robot nail this interaction every time is an incredibly difficult task, says Bilge Mutlu, an associate professor of computer science and psychology and UW Madison. Even humans don’t always get it right.
“When you look at the psychology literature, our understanding of emotions is incomplete,” Mutlu says. “And if we haven't really understood human emotions, can we actually simplify them and put them into machines? That's an open question.”
For humans, these mismatched interactions can be uncomfortable or awkward, but with robots, they can be downright creepy, thanks to the uncanny valley.
The concept was proposed by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori in the 1970s to describe a humanoid robot that looks close — but not quite close enough — to a real human.
According to the uncanny valley concept, humans are comfortable interacting with a more abstract and cute robot (think, Pixar’s WALL-E) or an incredibly human-like robot (think, Battlestar Galactica Cylons.) However, there exists a so-called valley between these two robotic extremes where robots look neither truly human nor robotic. This feeling of the “uncanny” might be the shiver you get when walking through a wax museum or when looking at a robotic Einstein video.
Psychologically, scholars have theorized that this discomfort with the not-quite-human may stem from an instinctual fear or distrust of dead human bodies, explains Niedenthal.
To steer clear of the uncanny valley altogether researchers will typically try and keep their robots on the cuter, more abstract side of the curve, says Mutlu. However, when it comes to programming emotions into your bot, he says avoiding creepiness altogether is a little impossible.
HOW DOES IT WORK
The uncanny valley was a challenge that Chen and colleagues were willing to take when designing Eva.
To start, they chose to design Eva as just a disembodied head. While this may instinctually sound creepy, the researchers explain in their April 2021 paper on the project that this design choice was made to help viewers more clearly separate this robot from humans in their minds. For similar reasons, the team also chose to leave Eva’s skull exposed and color its face a distinctly non-human color: blue.
Admittedly, Chen says this decision was influenced partially by the lab's affection for the 2009 movie “Avatar.”
In addition to their 2021 paper published in the journal HardwareX, the team also recently presented a second paper at the 2021 International Conference on Robotics and Automation which further describes Eva’s latest hardware and software developments.
Underneath its blue skin, Eva is equipped with:
Running an off-the-shelf learning framework on a small Raspberry Pi built into its skull, Eva is able to “look” at human expressions in person or through video and realistically mimic them. This is done by mapping the human face using discrete points, similar to the kind of dot arrays used in motion tracking for CGI in movies. Eva then imagines how these patterns of dots would look on its face and then moves its facial actuators to bring the new face to life.
Altogether, the team reports that Eva can be manufactured for just $900.
WHAT’S NEXT
Eva is still in its infancy, but Chen says he’s excited to see how other researchers will use this open-source platform to design their own emotional robots — from changing the skin tone to programming real human interactions for Eva. In the future, Chen hopes that expressive robots like Eva will find a home as educators or in healthcare to help care for humans when others can’t.
And as for whether or not Chen finds Eva’s smile creepy, he says he could never be scared by a smile like that.
“This is hard for me because the robot is like our baby,” says Chen. “I absolutely love every part of it.”
Did The U.S. Government Steal Tesla’s Research?

Nikola Tesla was undoubtedly one of the brightest minds of the 20th century. Many of our modern day commodities owe their existence to his brilliant mind. However, he lived most of his life in a constant battle with the energy brokers of his day, namely Thomas Edison backed by General Electric.
On January 7, 1943, Tesla died alone and impoverished in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel. Two days after his death, the FBI ordered that all of his belongings be seized.
His lifetime work was confiscated by the Office of Alien Property even though he had been an American citizen for 52 years. It was known at the time that Tesla had been working on several important projects, including wireless communications and limitless free energy.
Tesla’s plan was to harness energy from the radiation present in the universe, using the entire planet as a conductor. This would have meant that anybody could have free electricity simply by sticking a metal rod into the ground.
These notions did not go well with the power elite, whose interest was maintaining the status quo, that is keeping their multi-billion dollar businesses running.
After all, what good was free energy if they wouldn’t be able to meter and control it? Therefore, many speculate that the U.S. government acted according to the pressure exerted by these big corporations. They eventually shipped his estate to Belgrade, Yugoslavia but not before taking nine years to go through it.
This situation gave rise to a pervasive notion that is strongly supported by circumstantial evidence: Tesla’s research was considered critical, even dangerous and was confiscated for good measure.
His ideas could have constituted an important advancement for humanity and that’s exactly why they were withheld.
Nikola Tesla
It is believed that the technology behind HAARP is based on Tesla’s research. The U.S. has many top-secret compounds around the world and also has a history of secretly developing technology.
Perhaps this is why Tesla’s papers were seized but we might never know for sure.
After years of fielding questions about possible cover-ups, the FBI finally declassified some 250 pages of Tesla-related documents under the Freedom of Information Act in 2016. The bureau followed up with two additional releases, the latest in March 2018.
But even with the publication of these documents, many questions still remain unanswered—and some of Tesla’s files are still missing.
Shortly after an electrical engineer, Dr. John G. Trump (yes it is current President Donal Trump’s uncle) was assigned to review his papers to discover if any of it was of actual tangible value.
He determined that it was “primarily of a speculative, philosophical and promotional character” and said the papers did “not include new sound, workable principles or methods for realizing such results.”
Tesla’s extended family, including his nephew Sava Kosanovic, tried desperately to have at least his personal effects returned. Their requests were eventually accepted and some of his personal items were returned to the family.

Recently declassified documents reveal that the FBI, at the time, were concerned with his nephew’s intentions. They had even considered arresting him to prevent Tesla’s work falling into enemy hands.
After a long court battle, Kosanovic, the rightful heir to his uncle’s belongings, was finally given them. Tesla’s possessions and files were sent to Belgrade.
But, interestingly, of the 80 trunks or so of Tesla’s effects, only 60 arrived in Belgrade. Whether the U.S. Government had kept some of the information and effects or not is still, today, unknown.

It is also believed that Ronald Reagan’s “Star Wars” Strategic Defense Initiative program in the 1980s was probably inspired by Tesla’s “Death Ray”. But if the government is still using some of Tesla’s material for its Research and Development, this would explain why some, if any, of his original works, are still missing today.
Of course, we will never know for sure.

NASA Updates Its UFO/UAP FAQ Page

Bill Nelson, the former astronaut who is currently the new head of NASA and who just finished reading the classified Pentagon report on UFOs, should know something about them, right? However, the big question yet to be asked is, “If NASA knows about UFOs and UAPs, would it share that information with the people who pay their salaries – the tax-paying public?” The answer to that may be found on the agency’s own Frequently Asked Questions page on its website. It’s not as long as ‘War and Peace’. In fact, it’s not even as long as the Cliffs Notes for ‘War and Peace’ (which is actually four volumes itself!). it’s more like the jacket flap of ‘War and Peace’. If you’re still interested, NASA’s “FAQ: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs/UFOs)“ was updated recently to reflect the latest events in the search for explanations for the military sightings of UAPs. That should make it worth a look while in the bathroom, right?
“One of NASA’s key goals is the search for life in the universe.”
Where have I heard that before?
Right up front is NASA’s Trekkie “To seek out new life and new civilizations” mission statement, which completely ignores its Cold War military purpose from day one. Then the disclaimer:
“To date, NASA has yet to find any credible evidence of extraterrestrial life.”
Did the lawyers make them put that in right up front? More like the scientists, who accept the possibility but need the evidence, which the FAQ again states it hasn’t found … but “We do, however, continue to look.” Isn’t that what they’re paid to do? (Asking for a taxpaying friend.) Speaking of what they DO spend money on …
“NASA does fund research into technosignatures, but not for ground-based, radio-telescope searches due to NASA’s policy of supporting astrophysical research using space-based assets.
We also funded a Topical Workshops, Symposia, and Conference to develop a research agenda to prioritize and guide future theoretical and observational studies of non-radio technosignatures, and to draft a publishable report that can serve as the basis for building a library of technosignatures.”
Boring! There’s astronomers all over the world looking for technosignatures and biosignatures, but you’re the space agency that has put the most people and vehicles in space – vehicles with windows and instruments for watching for UFOs and UAPs. In fact, plenty of people make a point of watching the live International Space Station camera feed for the specific purpose of watching for UFOs as they fly by … and have noticed many times that said feed often mysteriously cuts out when this happens? Coincidence? Is that a frequently-asked question? If not, it should be.
OK, the last FAQ (yes, that’s all there are) is the big one: Does NASA search for or study Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs)? You can hold your breath if you want because the answer is disappointingly short.
“NASA does not actively search for UAPs. However, through our Earth-observing satellites, NASA collects extensive data about Earth’s atmosphere, often in collaboration with the other space agencies of the world. While these data are not specifically collected to identify UAPs or alien technosignatures, they are publicly available and anyone may use them to search the atmosphere.
While NASA doesn’t actively search for UAPs, if we learn of UAPs, it would open up the door to new science questions to explore. Atmospheric scientists, aerospace experts, and other scientists could all contribute to understanding the nature of the phenomenon. Exploring the unknown in space is at the heart of who we are.”
Sorry, NASA. Figuring out what those UFOs and UAPs are is the heart of who WE are … and we’re the taxpayers! It’s time to shape up. Bill Nelson says he believes we’re not alone. Answer the questions or commit to finding out!
We’ll be right here waiting.
The Mädler Phenomenon: The Time Venus Masqueraded as a Comet for an Evening

One of the earliest astronomers to ever produce a complete map of the moon, Johann Heinrich von Mädler’s four-quadrant representation of the lunar surface remained an unsurpassed early representation of Earth’s lonely natural satellite for almost half a century.
Known as the Mappa Selenographica, Mädler laboriously poured over the moon on an almost nightly basis through his refractor telescope, not only observing and mapping lunar features but also producing measurements of its various features that included craters and his estimates regarding the height of lunar peaks. Mädler’s collaborations with Berlin banker and fellow astronomer Wilhelm Wolff Beer also resulted in the earliest charts cataloging the surface of Mars.

While Mädler’s contributions to early astronomy remain of significance today, he is also remembered for one of his curious observations involving the planet Venus. Although documented elsewhere in historical accounts detailing observations of the planet, the anomalous occurrence has since become so closely associated with Mädler that astronomers have given it the apt title of “The Mädler Phenomenon.”
During the spring of 1833, prior even to the publication of his Mappa Selenogra, Mädler had been observing Venus’s approach of an inferior conjunction, a period where both Mercury and Venus are positioned on the same side of the sun. At the time, Mädler was observing Venus through a refractor telescope and had noticed a few minor irregularities in the planet’s appearance which may have been influenced by the planet’s position relative to the Sun. However, Mädler might never have guessed how unusual the planet’s appearance would become in the days ahead.
On April 7, as Mädler trained his telescope on Venus, he was surprised by a sudden, significant change in the planet’s appearance. Mädler was able to see long rays or “brushes” of light extending off to the side of the planet, giving it an appearance so curious that had he not known otherwise, the astronomer might have mistaken Earth’s neighbor for being a comet. The observation had not been fleeting either; over the course of the next 20 hours, Mädler was able to continuously observe these unusual beams of luminosity that gave Venus a fan-tailed appearance.
What might have been the cause of this peculiar display? Considering whether the problem had been originating with the telescope itself, Mädler made adjustments but could find no change in the appearance of Venus with adjustments in magnification, angle, or rotation. Mädler also conducted tests to determine if the ghostly rays emanating from Venus could be an illusion, but to no avail; whatever had been producing this curious spectacle appeared to be a real light phenomenon, the likes of which the astronomer had never witnessed before.
The debate has continued as to what might have been the source of the mystery, although not everyone was convinced by Mädler’s account. In his Celestial Objects, the Reverend T.W. Webb discussed Mädler’s observation, noting that “it is an instructive instance of the oversights which may be incidental even to great philosophers, that it never occurred to [Mädler] to try another telescope.” Of the opposite perspective, R. Baum writing in the Journal of the British Astronomical Association would note in 1988 that “it is difficult to credit the greasy finger hypothesis advanced by one modern astronomer without charging Mädler with gross incompetence, a rather unlikely possibility given his later success.” Baum, however, offered his own take on what could account for the phenomena observed by Mädler, pointing to atmospheric conditions described in the weather diary of John Gadbury as being able to account for the unusual observation.
The likely solution would appear to have been some variety of halo or another effect similar to the atmospheric optical phenomena known as a light pillar. Nonetheless, Mädler’s reputation as a detailed chronicler of astronomical data resulted in the phenomena in question bearing his namesake to this day, being recognized as one of the many curious footnotes in the history of human observation of our planetary neighbors.
Roswell: The Enigma of the Bodies and Those Who May Have “Constructed” Them

Nineteen-eighty-seven was one of the most important years in the field of UFO research. That was the year in which Whitley Strieber’s book, Communion, was published. The alien abduction-themed book became a huge bestseller – even a New York Times bestseller, no less. Strieber’s book was an important one because it didn’t follow the same pathway that so many other abduction books did. Strieber suggested that the black-eyed, dwarfish creatures known as “the Greys” are far from being just entities from another world and who have come to visit us. Strieber’s work suggested something far more than that; something that has deep relevance to the world of robots. Or, maybe, of cyborgs. Some people were excited and intrigued by the story that Strieber told. Others were puzzled, some were appalled by the fact that Strieber brought into Communion matters relative to magic, to the human soul, to immortality, and to life after death – and all in one big mix. Indeed, Strieber put forth the distinct possibility that the Greys may have the ability to operate in both a physical state and a soul-based situation. As for that physical form, Strieber came up with a fascinating theory – based upon his very own experiences with the Greys. He strongly suspected that when not in spirit/soul form, the Greys had the ability to be “downloaded” into physical form. And vice-versa. And, in that particular form, they were far more like biological robots than literal extraterrestrial beings that many of the UFO research community embraced.
Mac Tonnies went down that pathway, too. He said: “Given the vast number of out-of-body and near-death experiences, I find it difficult to reject the prospect of ‘nonlocal’ consciousness; perhaps a sufficiently advanced technology can manipulate the ‘soul’ as easily as we splice genes or mix chemicals in test tubes. If so, encounters with ‘extraterrestrials’ may help provide a working knowledge of how to modify and transfer consciousness – abilities that seem remote to the current terrestrial state-of-the-art, but may prove invaluable in a future where telepresence and virtual reality are integral to communication. Already, the capabilities of brain-machine interfaces are tantalizingly like the popular perception of telepathy, often thought of in strictly ‘paranormal’ or even ‘magical’ terms.’ It should be noted that this is very much like what has become known as Transhumanism. Basically, it’s a case of being in a state of post-human, rather than present-human. Or, post-alien, rather than alien.”
In some respects this parallels what Philip Corso said of the “alien bodies” allegedly found at Roswell, New Mexico in July 1947. Namely, that they weren’t aliens as we understand the term. Rather, they may have been robots designed and “built” to perform specific tasks in relation to alien abduction events – and, quite possibly, that’s just about all they were designed for. If true, it would be highly logical to expect that the Greys still play that robot-like role. If, of course, Corso was telling the truth (and, I should stress that I have massive doubts about anything Corso ever said). Also, if Corso was telling the truth, then the creatures may never have had any degree of self-awareness, and had no knowledge of their place in world history. That provokes another question: who, then, were the creators of the Greys? Corso wasn’t at all sure. Let’s get it right on the target:, he actually had no real clue, at all. The Space Brothers? Cryptoterrestrials? Maybe, no-one – at all – has any idea. And, possibly, no human being has ever seen what we might call “The Controllers” of the Greys. Certainly, I’m only speculating here and musing on matters. As I said, I was not a fan of Corso’s back in 1997 when his book The Day After Roswell was published. I’m still not a fan now. But, now and again, addressing theories outside one’s own conclusions isn’t a bad thing. After all, none of us really knows the truth of Roswell. A bit of speculation doesn’t hurt.
The Catastrophist’s Conundrum: Geomagnetic Reversals and Ancient Cataclysms

Has the Earth undergone periods of violent change throughout its long history? If so, what had been the result of these changes and, of equal significance, what instigated them in the first place?
Many ancient texts appear to describe great cataclysms that have affected our planet in various ways, although debate remains as to whether all of them describe real phenomena or are in some cases just myths and allegories conjured from the minds of ancient commentators.
Arguably, the most famous of all these is Plato’s account of the destruction of the fabled Atlantis. While modern scholars generally accept that Plato’s dialogues recounting tales of Atlantis had been aimed at having an instructive purpose, even some of Plato’s early followers were said to have considered the story to have historical roots. Chief among these had been Crantor, a Greek philosopher of the Old Academy and one of the earliest scholars to write commentaries on Plato’s works.

Modern science holds a different view on the matter, however. To date, there has been little evidence come to light that supports the existence of a literal island continent that sank into the Atlantic some 9000 years or so before Plato’s time. However, this is not to say that there weren’t incredible changes that the Earth underwent during this period which, although they may be coincidental, certainly have caused some academics to wonder about narratives like the ones Plato offered.
Around 12,700 years ago, as Earth was transitioning from the last major ice age into the modern era (or Holocene) several changes were underway, for which there is an abundance of modern geological evidence. As the glacial formations around the polar regions began to melt and the ice sheets that extended over parts of North America and Eurasia began to slowly thaw, meltwater runoff gradually flowed into the Atlantic Ocean, disrupting the circulation of ocean currents and causing temperature changes lasting for hundreds of years.
Some modern evidence—primarily in the form of concentrations of rare-earth elements in geological strata coinciding with this period—points to even more potentially catastrophic phenomena that might have occurred, having possibly instigated some of the other changes Earth underwent around this time. One emergent theory that had once been ridiculed, but in recent years had increasingly gained support among scientists involves a possible impact event that occurred as Earth exited the Pleistocene, which triggered a period of cold reversal known as the Younger Dryas.
Many modern catastrophists point to this not only as possible evidence of a cataclysmic period in the late Pleistocene but also note the similarity in its timing and the period during which Plato said Atlantis sank beneath Atlantic waters. If nothing else, it might be possible that legends that range from Atlantis to the idea of a “great flood” prevalent in mythologies from all over the world could have been born from what were once actual memories of such events in Earth’s past.

Over time, catastrophism has seen sympathy from a range of scholars. These include the Harvard-trained professor and one-time member of the Office of Strategic Services Charles Hapgood, who went on to become a proponent of rapid pole shifts, as well as a champion of the idea that the famous Piri Reis map detailed not merely the coastline of the Americas, but perhaps Antarctica too. Most of Hapgood’s theories, while entertaining (and perhaps not all of them entirely without merit) have nonetheless failed to withstand scientific scrutiny over the ensuing decades.
Nonetheless, others have appeared to champion the catastrophist cause. A 1978 paper by P. Warlow titled “Geomagnetic Reversals?” in the Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, Volume 11, Number 10, revealed a comparatively fresh take on the matter (at least when compared with earlier theories proposed by the likes of Hapgood).
“The enigma of geomagnetic reversals and their apparent link with other phenomena,” Warlow wrote, “such as faunal extinctions, is shown to be explicable by treating these reversals as a relative rather than an absolute effect.” Rather than to suppose that mere magnetic reversals occur, Warlow posited the idea that an actual shift of the Earth’s rotation might periodically take place. Such an idea, he believed, “is sufficient to account for the behaviour of the field in detail during a reversal, and for explaining the links with the various other phenomena.”
Warlow cited information “not only from modern geological and related investigations, but also from astronomy and from ancient sources.” Among the sources he examined had been peculiar accounts from ancient Egypt that appear to describe the sun rising in the West, rather than in the East, a mystery which has been revisited more recently by author Scott Creighton in books like The Great Pyramid Void Enigma.
Of course, geomagnetic reversals certainly have occurred in the past and are widely recognized phenomena, although ideas about the range of effects they may cause remain varied. Geologists have long understood that changes in Earth’s magnetic field resulting in the reversal of the positions of magnetic north and south occur periodically throughout time, leading to alternating periods (known as chrons) where these polarity reversals occur.
As far as what leads to these changes, there are no definite patterns. While geomagnetic reversals appear to occur randomly, a total of 183 have occurred within the last 83 million years, meaning that on average such reversals occur once every 450,000 years or so. Some geomagnetic shifts appear to be far less widespread, which geologists call excursions. One interpretation is that these excursions could be the result of incomplete or failed geomagnetic shifts. Another possibility is that these shifts are instigated by cataclysmic events, and at least some data appears to correlate geomagnetic phenomena with periods like the Younger Dryas.
Will there be another geomagnetic reversal any time soon? Since the last one occurred around 780,000 years ago, some have noted that we appear to be overdue for the next one, which could occur at almost any time given our limited understanding of the mechanisms that might facilitate such changes. However, one thing that remains clear is that they do occur… and gaining a more complete understanding of why and how could be beneficial both in terms of understanding past changes our planet has undergone, as well as those which may await us in the future.
