Ex-CIA Agent Deathbed Confession On UFOs: Visited Area-51 & Saw Living Aliens

There is a long list of officials who have spent a long time in the US defense department, claiming to have seen the alleged crashed UFOs and non-human beings that supposedly had been the passengers of those crafts. In this list comes a deathbed confession of a man claimed to be a former CIA officer. He said to have seen living extraterrestrials and alien spacecraft secretly stored in the mysterious Area-51 US Air Force base.

“The Anonymous Interview” is a film by award-winning director Jeremy Corbell. This film investigates a very contentious witness account from an alleged ex-CIA agent who claims to have been exposed to extraterrestrial realities and technologies throughout his employment in the military and intelligence. This “deathbed confession” was presented as the witness testimony at the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC in 2013. It sparked a lively discussion among those involved in the intelligence and UFO sectors.

The 77-years old alleged former CIA went on camera (check the video at the bottom) and testified to the renowned UFO researcher Richard Dolan. The man was scared of disclosing his real name so in the interview, he is dubbed “The Anonymous.” He even never used his actual name during his service time in the CIA. During the interview, the man told Dolan that he had not much time left as he was facing kidney failure issues.

His story was first introduced by investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe on June 6, 1998, on the radio show Coast to Coast AM under the pseudonym “AGENT KEWPER.” He was drafted into the US military and sent to the signal training center in the eastern United States. Later, he attained the position of a cryptographer in the US Air Force. (Source)

He worked for the CIA from 1957 to 1960 and described his work inside a CIA group based in a southeastern military base where they analyzed film, photographs, and other physical evidence collected from eyewitnesses of extraterrestrial craft and beings. Linda interviewed “Kewper” on eleven hours of audiotape in the summer of 1998 before government agents warned him not to follow through with further interviews. She shared one portion of the audio, which concerned the 1959 briefing of President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon about UFOs, human abductions, and animal mutilations, which Eisenhower indicated he was already familiar with.

In 2013, Kewper came out of hiding, believing the end was close, and was once more prepared to share his astonishing story. That time, Richard Dolan, a UFO historian, conducted the interview with the witness and later gave his consent for his picture and remarks to be used at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington, D.C.

He told Dolan that while he was in the military, he was offered to work for the CIA on the secret program of which he got the top-secret security clearance. Meanwhile, Project Blue Book was handling most of the UFO cases but Kewper said it was “partially fraud.” “So, you’re saying some of the Blue Book cases were completely fictitious,” Dolan asked, and Kewper replied “Yes.” The case assigned to him came from Fort Belvoir, but it was neither from the Pentagon nor the CIA.

His most startling claim was that he had been escorted into Area 51 to view a variety of UFOs that the US military reportedly discovered. These allegedly include a flying saucer that crashed and landed in July 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico.

But it is at the center of many alien conspiracy theories which allege that the recovered alien craft has visited Earth. There were alien craft, including the Roswell UFO and live aliens. The conspiracy theories were compounded by the fact that the US Government did not acknowledge the base existed until 2013. Other theories suggest that aliens from the crashed UFOs are secretly kept there as well.

The man told Dolan that President Dwight Eisenhower had warned of a threat of Earth being invaded, so he and his superior at the CIA were allowed inside Area-51 to report back to the president. He claimed the two men were also taken to the alleged S-4 facility southwest of Area-51, where they observed “live extraterrestrials.”

“It took us 13 or 15 miles south to s4 and like different garage door openings okay and in these garage door openings they had like different saucer crafts. The very first one had Roswell craft and it was kind of crashed up but apparently, every alien that was in a died except for a couple… The Roswell craft was really strange because it looked like really heavy aluminum foil. We could walk next to it and the whole thing probably weighed 150-300 pounds.”

“Could they tell what the source of power was of this craft?” asked Dolan. “Yeah, it was like a reverse’s gravitational thing of some kind. In fact, I got the mathematical code for reversing gravity in a three-by-five card. I guess they are different types of grays and so on.”

“How did you see that evidence?” – “At s4 we viewed the autopsy film and then the colonel said what we’ve got in here is we’re interviewing a grey alien. I thought we had no idea we were going to see the real thing all we saw was the film. What did this gray alien look like could you describe them a little bit? It didn’t look human as far as the skin tone and basically the shape of it and the size how was its head size compared with a normal human. For example, the brain was kind of a little bit bigger and the nose was very, very small and the ears were just like holes and the mouth was very small.”

In mid-1947, a United States Air Force balloon crashed at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Following the wide initial interest in the crashed “flying disc,” the US military stated that it was merely a conventional weather balloon. Major Jesse Marcel from the Roswell Army Air Field found the debris 75 miles northwest of Roswell, NM, in June 1947. The debris has been identified as that of a radar target. The Air Force released a report debunking reports of a UFO crash.

Author and UFO researcher Peter Robbins said of the account: “In my opinion, if it can be confirmed by any relevant supporting documentation, this moving and fascinating account does qualify as an authentic ‘death bed’ testimony from an individual who convincingly claims to have been a CIA officer deeply involved in the matter or crashed and/or recovered craft, and at one time a liaison between the agency and the President (Truman).”

Agent Kewper’s identity revealed

According to research done by author Richard Geldreich, Agent Kewper Stein was named (when he died) Oscar Wayne Wolff. He was born September 17, 1935 in Park Rapids, MN. He passed away on March 18, 2015 in Menahga, MN at the Green Pine Acres Nursing Home. (Source)

Stephen Hawking's most famous prediction could mean that everything in the universe is doomed to evaporate, new study says

Related: 

• Lab-grown black hole may prove Stephen Hawking's most challenging theory right

"That means that objects without an event horizon [the gravitational point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole], such as the remnants of dead stars and other large objects in the universe, also have this sort of radiation," lead author Heino Falcke, a professor of astrophysics at Radboud University in the Netherlands, said in a statement. "And, after a very long period, that would lead to everything in the universe eventually evaporating, just like black holes. This changes not only our understanding of Hawking radiation but also our view of the universe and its future."

The researchers published their findings June 2 in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Space-time monsters

According to quantum field theory, there is no such thing as an empty vacuum. Space is instead teeming with tiny vibrations that, if imbued with enough energy, randomly burst into virtual particles, producing very-low-energy packets of light, or photons.

In a landmark paper published in 1974, Hawking famously predicted that the extreme gravitational force felt at the mouths of black holes — their event horizons — would summon photons into existence in this way. Gravity, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, distorts space-time, so that quantum fields get more warped the closer they get to the immense gravitational tug of a black hole's singularity.

Because of the uncertainty and weirdness of quantum mechanics, Hawking said this warping creates uneven pockets of differently moving time and subsequent spikes of energy across the field. These energy mismatches make photons appear in the contorted space around black holes, siphoning energy from the black hole's field so they can burst into existence. If the particles then escape the black hole, this energy theft led Hawking to conclude that — over a vast timescale much longer than the current age of the universe — black holes would eventually lose all of their energy and disappear completely.

But if a gravitational field is all that's needed to produce quantum fluctuations and photons, what's stopping any object with a space-time warping mass from creating Hawking radiation? Does Hawking radiation need the special condition of a black hole's event horizon, or can it be produced anywhere in space? To probe these questions, the authors of the new study analyzed Hawking radiation through the lens of a long-predicted process called the Schwinger effect, in which matter can theoretically be generated from the powerful distortions caused by an electromagnetic field.

Sure enough, by applying the framework of the Schwinger effect to Hawking's theory, the theoretical physicists produced a mathematical model that reproduced Hawking radiation in spaces experiencing a range of gravitational field strengths. According to their new theory, an event horizon isn't necessary for energy to slowly leak from a massive object in the form of light; the object's gravitational field is good enough on its own.

"We show that far beyond a black hole the curvature of space-time plays a big role in creating radiation," second author Walter van Suijlekom, a professor of mathematics at Radboud University, said in the statement. "The particles are already separated there [beyond the black hole] by the tidal forces of the gravitational field."

What the researchers' theory means in reality isn't clear. Possibly, as the matter that makes up stars, neutron stars, and planets ages, it will eventually undergo an energy transition into a completely new ultralow energy state. This might be enough to eventually collapse all matter into black holes, which could continue to slowly drip out light until they too disappear without a trace.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on any misgivings you may have about evaporating), all of this is just speculation awaiting confirmation. To figure out if it's a true prediction of our universe's eventual fate, physicists will need to spot some Hawking radiation being produced around gravitationally dense objects — both around black holes and planets, stars, or neutron stars. If everything is destined to disappear in a flash of cool light, there should be plenty of places to look.

Why have aliens never visited Earth? Scientists have a disturbing answer

Why has humanity never been visited by aliens (that we know of)? The question has confounded scientists for decades, but two researchers have come up with a possible — and disturbing — explanation: Advanced civilizations could be doomed to either stagnate or die before they get the chance.

The new hypothesis suggests that, as space-faring civilizations grow in scale and technological development, they eventually reach a crisis point where innovation no longer keeps up with the demand for energy. What comes next is collapse. The only alternative path is to reject a model of "unyielding growth" in favor of maintaining equilibrium, but at the cost of a civilization's ability to expand across the stars, the researchers said.

The argument, published on May 4 in the journal Royal Society Open Science, attempts to find a resolution to the Fermi Paradox. Taking its name from the casual lunchtime musings of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi, the paradox draws attention to the contradiction between the immense scope and age of the universe — two things that suggest the universe should be teeming with advanced alien life — and the lack of evidence that extraterrestrials exist anywhere in sight. "So where is everybody?" Fermi is thought to have remarked.

• 9 Things we learned about aliens in 2021

The researchers of the new study say they may have the answer.

"Civilizations either collapse from burnout or redirect themselves to prioritizing homeostasis, a state where cosmic expansion is no longer a goal, making them difficult to detect remotely," astrobiologists Michael Wong, of the Carnegie Institution for Science, and Stuart Bartlett, of the California Institute of Technology, wrote in the study. "Either outcome — homeostatic awakening or civilization collapse — would be consistent with the observed absence of [galactic-wide] civilizations."

The pair came to their hypothesis by researching studies of the "'superlinear"' growth of cities. These studies suggested that cities increase in size and  energy consumption at an exponential rate as their populations grow, inevitably leading to crisis points — or singularities — that cause rapid crashes in growth, followed by an even more precipitous, potentially civilization-ending, collapse. 

"We hypothesize that once a planetary civilization transitions into a state that can be described as one virtually connected global city, it will face an 'asymptotic burnout,' an ultimate crisis where the singularity-interval time scale becomes smaller than the time scale of innovation," they wrote. 

These close-to-collapse civilizations would be the easiest for humanity to detect, the researchers suggest, as they would be dissipating large amounts of energy in a "wildly unsustainable" way. "This presents the possibility that a good many of humanity's initial detections of extraterrestrial life may be of the intelligent, though not yet wise, kind," the researchers wrote.

To avert their doom, civilizations could undergo a "homeostatic awakening," redirecting their production away from unbounded growth across the stars to one that prioritizes societal wellbeing, sustainable and equitable development and harmony with their environment, the researchers suggest. While such civilizations may not completely abandon space exploration, they would not expand on scales great enough to make contact with Earth likely.

The researchers point to a few of humanity's "mini-awakenings" that addressed global crises on Earth, such as the reduction of global nuclear arms stockpiles from 70,000 warheads to below 14,000; the halting of the once-growing hole in Earth's ozone layer by banning chlorofluorocarbon emissions; and the 1982 international whaling moratorium.

The scientists stress, however, that their suggestion is simply a hypothesis, taken from the observation of laws that seem to govern life on Earth, and is designed to "provoke discussion, introspection and future work."

Their proposal joins a bountiful crop of other scientific and popular suggestions as to why we've never made direct contact with celestial visitors. These include the numerous practical challenges presented by interstellar travel; that aliens may actually be visiting in secret; or that aliens arrived to Earth too soon (or humans too early) in the life of the universe for direct contact.

Another hypothesis, published April 4 in The Astrophysics Journal, suggests that the sheer scale of the universe means it could take as long as 400,000 years for a signal sent by one advanced species to be received by another — a timescale that’s far greater than the brief period humans have been able to scan the skies.

Harvard Professor Is Right: Some UFOs Are Aliens, Govt. Officials From D.C. Told Him

Mysterious difficulties are still preventing the release of information related to the government’s hoarding and suppressing data about the first known interstellar object to land on Earth, nearly a year after U.S. Space Command confirmed that scientists had correctly identified it. Whereas, scientists provide an explanation for the trajectory of the most controversial “Oumuamua.”

Scientists Jennifer Bergner and Darryl Seligman submitted a paper, concluding that Oumuamua contained water and molecular hydrogen, which froze into ice due to the extreme cold of deep space. When the interstellar object entered the inner solar system and warmed up, the ice converted to its crystalline state, causing the H2 to be forced out and provide the propulsive push that explained the acceleration. The scientists ruled out nitrogen and carbon monoxide as possible explanations for the outgassing and acceleration because their levels were too low.

Dr. Avi Loeb said: “Oumuamua was not a Hydrogen-Water iceberg.” He submitted a new paper in collaboration with Thiem Hoang, challenging the surface temperature calculation of Oumuamua made by Bergner and Darryl in their recent paper published in Nature. He and Hoang argue that the calculation ignored the cooling effect of evaporating hydrogen, leading to an overestimation of the surface temperature by a factor of 9. The decrease in surface temperature limits the thermal annealing of water ice, further challenging the original model’s credibility.

Additionally, Dr. Loeb argues that Oumuamua’s lack of a visible coma, absence of carbon-based molecules or dust, and its unusual elongated shape, are all inconsistent with it being a generic comet. Dr. Loeb has previously proposed the possibility that Oumuamua is artificial in origin, which has sparked debates among experts.

In 2019, Amar Siraj and Dr. Loeb discovered an interstellar meteor near Papua New Guinea in 2014 and attempted to confirm their discovery. Relevant data had been collected by Department of Defense sensors, which were used to track nuclear explosions and was classified. In 2022, after delays, Space Command confirmed the researchers were correct about the meteor’s origin. This raised questions about why the government had suppressed information about the discovery for years.

According to this report, Motherboard filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act with different federal agencies seeking insight into why the government was not sharing data about alien bodies transiting our solar system. One request was filed with the Department of Energy in April 2022, and sought emails from two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, who mentioned the terms asteroid, meteor, or debris. Motherboard requested expedited processing due to the public’s interest in the topic.

The Department of Energy informed Motherboard that the request had been forwarded to the National Nuclear Security Administration, and a government information specialist later informed Motherboard that they had not demonstrated a compelling need for expedited processing. The request’s estimated completion date was moved several times, and Motherboard was ultimately told there is no estimated completion date due to “a few difficulties that the NNSA’s Los Alamos Field Office and/or Lab will have to work out.”

There is no definite answer to why mainstream scientists are trying to diminish Dr. Loeb’s discovery of Oumuamua and his bold acceptance of extraterrestrials. However, in his recent blog post, he mentioned that he was visited by two government representatives from Washington DC, who assumed he was on the right path. Perhaps, he is right about some UFOs might be extraterrestrial. (Source)

“‘Am I wasting my time?’ I asked the two visitors who came all the way from Washington DC to my home a couple of days ago. ‘Not at all,’ they assured me,” writes Dr. Loeb. He further added: “There is, of course, a lingering possibility that I am naïve and UAP are smoke and mirrors. In that case, we will find out soon enough. This is why I asked my guests from DC whether I may be wasting my time. I have no access to classified data and the publicly available data is not convincing. But the known facts are intriguing enough to get me going. Just as the nature of dark matter inspired me to write many scientific papers as a theoretical astrophysicist.”

Dr. Loeb has written extensively about dark matter and other cosmic phenomena. However, he is now leading the Galileo Project, which aims to investigate unident ified aerial phenomena (UAP) and determine if any have an extraterrestrial technological origin. The author notes that the scientific community has not been open to exploring UAP in the same way they have been with dark matter, and that this is a problem.

• Jacques Vallee On Footage Of UFO Landing At Holloman AFB: Occupant Carried Vertical Staff With Spiral Antenna

He argues that new scientific knowledge is gained through high-quality data, and the path to this knowledge should not be hindered by academic intolerance or low-quality data. He also notes that UAP research is often hindered by unsubstantiated claims and low-quality data, and that the focus should be on collecting new high-quality data to determine the nature of UAP.

A recent poll conducted by Professor Brian Keating from the University of California, San Diego, shows that 51.1% of respondents believe that the first Oumuamua was of extraterrestrial technological origin, despite inconclusive scientific evidence.

According to Dr. Loeb, “three of the known four interstellar objects (ISOs) appear anomalous, namely the meteors IM1 and IM2 in their high material strength and Oumuamua in its non-gravitational acceleration without a visible cometary tail, is intriguing for those who maintain their childhood curiosity or beginner’s mind (Shoshin) of Zen Buddhism. This evidence is not intriguing for everyone. Some science journalists celebrated a Nature paper last week and chose to ignore a follow-up paper which demonstrated that the Nature paper violated energy conservation, in order ‘not to confuse their readers.'”

On March 7, 2023, Avi Loeb presented a paper co-authored with Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, Director, All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) of the Pentagon, stating that some UAPs could be small probes from an alien mothership. The paper describes physical constraints on UAPs using known forms of matter and radiation and states that the lack of radio signatures could indicate inaccurate distance measurements.

Dr. Loeb suggests that an artificial interstellar object could release many small probes during its close passage to Earth, which could reach Earth or other Solar system planets for exploration, and would be undetectable for existing survey telescopes but could be detected by deep space radars and space fences. The changes in arrival time and distance of the closest approach to Earth would manifest due to a small ejection speed far away, leading to a large deviation from the trajectory of the parent craft near the Sun.

In conclusion, the idea that Oumuamua and some UAPs could be of alien origin is a topic that continues to intrigue and spark debate among scientists and the general public. While some believe that the inconclusive scientific evidence does not support this claim, others like Dr. Loeb and Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick have presented research and theories that suggest the possibility of alien probes. As technology advances, it will be interesting to see if we can detect more evidence that could provide answers to this ongoing mystery.

The Siberian Unicorn: A Collision of Science, Myth, and Legend

The Elasmotherium, colloquially known as the Giant Rhinoceros or the Giant Siberian Unicorn, is a prehistoric rhinoceros species that once roamed the Eurasian region during the Late Pliocene and Pleistocene eras. Their existence has been traced back to 2.6 million years ago, with the most recent fossils being approximately 29,000 years old. The most recognized species of this group, the E. sibiricum, compared to a mammoth in size, had a hairy exterior and is believed to have sported a large horn on its forehead, giving rise to its nickname, the "Siberian Unicorn". Initial descriptions estimate the beast to have stood around 2 meters (6.56 ft.) in height, measured 4.5 meters (14.76 ft.) in length, and weighed a hefty 4 tonnes.

Decoding the Tale of the Siberian Unicorn

The Elasmotherium species was first identified in 1808 by Johan Fischer von Waldheim, the perpetual Director of the Natural History Museum at Moscow University. His claim was based solely on the lower jaw of the species, gifted to the museum by Yekaterina Romanovna Vorontsova-Dashkova, which led to further study and identification of the species.

In March 2016, an excellently preserved skull was discovered in the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan, indicating the species' survival until the Pleistocene era around 29,000 years ago, challenging the prior belief that they had vanished 350,000 years ago. Judging by the skull's size and condition, it is hypothesized that it belonged to an elderly male, though the cause of death remains a mystery.

• What Extraordinary Discovery Led to Unicorn Cave Magically Transforming into a Cash Cow?

• Best Preserved Ice Age Woolly Rhino Discovered in Siberia

The Siberian unicorn's appearance, dietary habits, and behavior are subjects of various hypotheses owing to the wide-ranging interpretations of the reconstructions. Some depict the creature running like a horse, others bent over with its head towards the ground similar to a bison, and still others submerged in a swamp like a hippo.

Controversies over the Siberian Unicorn’s Horn and Extinction

The existence, size, and purpose of the horn remain hotly contested. Speculations regarding its function span from self-defense, to mate attraction, to competition deterrence, to snow clearing for feeding, and even to digging for water and plant roots. Considering the creatures were herbivores like present-day rhinos, it's unlikely the horn was used to attack or kill prey.

Only indirect evidence from sparse specimens exists to confirm if the beast had a horn or not and whether it was covered in hair or was hairless. Nonetheless, some evidence points towards the animal having a hairy exterior, much like the well-known woolly mammoth.

The primary evidence indicating that the Siberian unicorn possessed a horn is the frontal protrusion on the skull, which caught 19th-century paleontologists' attention and was instantly deemed the base for a horn. There is also evidence that the horn was not circular, as a fossil with a non-circular, partially healed puncture wound in the base suggests it could have been the result of combat with another male possessing a horn.

While male Siberian unicorns likely engaged in territorial disputes, their territory stretched from the Don River to eastern Kazakhstan. Findings suggest these ancient rhinos inhabited the southeast of the West Siberian Plain for an extended period. The exact cause of the extinction of the last Siberian unicorns remains uncertain. Scientists are examining specific environmental elements that might have triggered the species' extinction, hoping to glean insights that could be applied to modern species facing extinction.

The Legendary Unicorn

Myths and legends about unicorns, or creatures with a single horn, have permeated Chinese and Eastern European cultures for thousands of years. The Chinese term "K’i-lin," referring to a certain type of creature, was assimilated into Turkish and Mongolic languages and folklore. Although scribes in these languages struggled to describe the creature, a recurring theme was its single horn and its imposing size.

A bronze relic from the Warring States period portrays an animal remarkably similar to one depicted in cave paintings thought to represent Elasmotherium: grazing with its head lowered, a horn jutting from its forehead, and a drooping head and shoulders.

In 1866, Vasily Radlov encountered a Yakut legend in Siberia about a "gigantic black bull" slain by a lone spear. The beast reportedly had a single horn so enormous it had to be transported by sled. Other legends in this region typically involve a large white or blue woolly bull with a massive horn on its forehead.

From medieval Northern Russia, a collection of ballads, named "Golubinaia kniga" or "The Book of the Dove," influenced by Zoroastrianism and laced with Christian nuances, emerged. The ballads portray a righteous unicorn combating a lion, symbolizing falsehoods. The unicorn in these tales resided on a sacred mountain and was considered the progenitor of all animals. This creature saved the world from drought by using its horn to dig up springs of clean, fresh water. At night, it wandered the plains, blazing trails with its mighty horn.

• Is the Story of Christ Portrayed in the Unicorn Tapestries?

• Legends of the Unicorn Horn: Cures, Antidotes and Medicinal Magic

This creature features in other religious scriptures as well, though it is generally seen more as a symbolic entity than a real one. The Arabo-Persian term for a unicorn conflates unicorn and rhinoceros, viewing the rhinoceros as a symbol of truth and goodness. In Christianity, the single horn represents monotheism.

While mythology hints at the creature's existence, it is only circumstantial evidence. More research and additional fossils need to be discovered before we can definitively determine what this creature looked like and if unicorns were ever real.

The Vatican Whistleblower: What You Need to Know

The stories about UFOs and the Vatican primarily revolve around alleged encounters, documents, and speculation linking the Vatican to the study and investigation of unidentified flying objects. Which brings us to today’s whistleblower.

{ https://beforeitsnews.com/ }

On June 12, 2023, Dr. Steven Greer held a stunning UFO disclosure press event at Washington's D.C. press club. 

One of the whistleblowers was Eric Hecker, Raytheon contractor who worked at the Ice Cube Neutrino observatory, constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica, from 2010-2011.

Not only Eric Hecker stated that this Antarctica station is a huge air traffic control power station that monitors all interstellar craft that be operated by humans as well as non-humans but he also said that he witnessed a powerful green laser on top of this facility beaming into the cosmos. 

According to the official statement, this green laser instrument, the so-called LIDAR, is used to study the atmosphere. Now, on June 17, 2023 the webcam of the Amundsen-Scott base captured such a green laser beaming directly into space, but Eric believes this laser is a form of long range communications or defense system.  

If Eric is right that this green laser is used for long range communications, then it may be possible that this instrument is used to communicate with interstellar craft (like the secret space fleet) that be operated by humans.

Could the megalodon still exist today?

From 20 million to 3.6 million years ago, Earth's oceans were dominated by an enormous species of shark called the megalodon. The scientific name, Otodus megalodon, means "giant tooth" — and it's easy to see why. With teeth up to three times the size of those of a great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), the megalodon also reached lengths of 60 feet (18 meters) — making it the ultimate apex predator until it became extinct.

Yet rumors persist that these supersized sharks are still alive, with TikTok and YouTube videos speculating on how they might have survived gaining millions of views. Is it really possible for the megalodon to be alive today, lurking somewhere in the ocean? 

Jack Cooper, a doctoral student at Swansea University in the U.K., is a member of the Pimiento Research Group, which studies marine diversity through time. He has spent years studying the megalodon — and says they are most definitely extinct.

"Any suggestion that megalodon potentially still exists in unexplored ocean regions is complete nonsense based on not a shred of credible evidence," he told Live Science in an email.

• Megalodon was fastest swimming shark ever and could devour an orca in 5 bites, 3D model reveals

Although the majority of the ocean hasn't been explored, Cooper said there are several reasons why the megalodon isn't still lurking in our oceans. Firstly, the food chain would look very different if the species was still alive.

"Megalodon was not only a very big coastal shark that would definitely have been seen by now, it was also an apex predator higher on the food web than any living marine predator. As such, it would've been a huge influence on ocean ecosystems," he explained.

"Its disappearance had cascading consequences. Whales, one of their key prey items, got even bigger after megalodon went extinct with nothing around to eat them," he added. "Some of the biggest marine mammals today like the blue whale only evolved after megalodon went extinct. So, in short, the modern day food web has partially been shaped by megalodon not being there."

Megalodon in the Mariana Trench?

Scientists are still learning about some of the most mysterious and unmapped regions of our oceans, particularly the deepest areas like the Mariana Trench, which stretches down 35,876 feet (10,935 m) below the ocean surface. Although it's exciting to imagine giant sharks living secretly in the depths, Cooper said they wouldn't be able to survive in such an inhospitable environment.

"The deep sea would be totally unsuitable habitats for such a big apex predator," he said. "We find deep sea sharks all the time and none come anywhere close in size to a 20-meter [65 feet]  giant. As megalodon was likely consuming fairly large prey, those smaller animals wouldn't be great sources anyway. The Mariana Trench has mostly microscopic life that wouldn't even feed one megalodon, let alone a secret population."

Kenshu Shimada, a paleobiologist at DePaul University in Chicago who has studied megalodon, said that claims these massive sharks still live somewhere today have never been substantiated.

To understand why the megalodon would not be able to survive in today's oceans, it can help to understand how it went extinct. Although the exact cause is unknown, Shimada said there are several dominant theories.

"A couple of major hypotheses include extinction due to climate change or competition with the great white shark that emerged a few million years ago. It is also possible that the extinction could have been caused by a combination of multiple factors."

Cooper agrees that climate change may be a key reason why the megalodon went extinct. He said the megalodon's extinction has largely been attributed to a reduction in sea level from the Pliocene epoch (5.3 to 2.6 million years ago).

"That reduction would have dramatically affected the coastal habitats of both the megalodon and their prey," he said. "It meant less area for them to live in and less food availability to replenish the huge amount of energy they needed to justify their enormous sizes and active predatory lifestyles. Today's sea levels generally remain much lower than the Pliocene, so such conditions are far from ideal for them."

Finally, if megalodon were alive today, we would likely know about it as they would be under threat from poaching — much like the great white shark. "We would have seen crystal clear evidence of megalodon," Cooper said. "As humans kill as many as 100 million sharks every year, with larger sharks being at particular risk to this, they would probably not be able to survive us rather than the other way around."

Astronauts that hibernate on long spaceflights are not just for sci-fi. We could test it in 10 years.

• NASA astronauts could hibernate on deep space missions thanks to arctic squirrels

For all these reasons, hibernation, also known as torpor, has long been a staple of sci-fi space movies. From "Alien" to "2001: A Space Odyssey," fictional space travelers have crossed vast distances cocooned unconscious inside high-tech pods while AI machines and android robots keep their spacecraft on a steady course. 

Despite being a sci-fi trope, putting humans into long-term induced torpor may not be a far-fetched idea after all. Jennifer Ngo-Anh, a research and payload coordinator of Human and Robotic Exploration at ESA and a co-author of a recent paper outlining the space agency's approach to hibernation research, told Space.com that depending on funding availability, the first human torpor trials could take place as early as the mid-2030s. 

"Of course, we need to finetune everything before we can apply it to humans. But I would say that 10 years is a realistic timeline," Ngo-Anh said. 

This fine-tuning is already underway. First studies have shown that it's possible to induce torpor in otherwise non-hibernating animals, such as rats, and bring them safely back to life a few days later. The process of triggering hibernation is rather intricate and involves reduced exposure to daylight and a period of intense feeding followed by a strict fast. 

"The rats receive a drug, a neurotransmitter substance, and are brought into a dark space with reduced temperature," Jürgen Bereiter-Hahn, professor emeritus in neuroscience and cell biology at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and member of ESA's hibernation research group, told Space.com in an interview. "It works very nicely, but the problem is that you have to apply the signaling molecule repeatedly to maintain the state. You need to maintain very high levels of the neurotransmitter and that could have deleterious effects over the longer term."

Why do we want to make people hibernate?

The question is whether induced torpor could ever be safe enough to be administered to space travelers in tiny spacecraft with minimal medical supervision and equipment. Ngo-Anh sees the problem from a different perspective. Torpor, she said, could, in fact, be the only way forward for long-duration space missions.

Loss of bone and muscle mass is a big issue for spacefarers. Even at the International Space Station, where high-tech fitness machines are available and strict exercise protocols are followed, astronauts lose up to 20% of their muscle mass in a month. Their bones get gradually weaker too. Footage of crews returning to Earth frequently shows fragile beings transported by medical personnel in wheelchairs and stretchers. But there will be no support crews waiting by after a landing on Mars. 

"This is a real problem for astronauts in microgravity," Bereiter-Hahn said. "Astronauts need to train a lot because otherwise they really would have serious problems when they get back to gravity conditions."

Research shows that the effects of microgravity on the human body resemble those of long-term bed rest. Strangely, bed rest while hibernating doesn't seem to result in such effects at all. Unlike a patient recovering from a long illness or medical coma, an animal waking up from hibernation shows surprisingly high fitness levels. 

"When animals wake up from hibernation, they very quickly remember their surroundings," Ngo-Anh said. "Within seconds, they remember where they hid their food before they went into hibernation, and they actually don't suffer much muscle loss, which is quite surprising after months just lying and sleeping in a cave."

Researchers think that the key to the protective effects of the torpor state is its physiology. Although hibernation superficially resembles sleep, inside the body the process works in a completely different way. Unlike a sleeping brain, a hibernating brain produces barely any electromagnetic activity. The heart rate of an animal in torpor drops to only a few beats per minute, and its body temperature declines to what would otherwise be considered dangerous hypothermia. Even the cells that make up the animal's body stop their usual business of processing or creating  nutrients, dividing and dying. By all biological measures, the torpor state is almost like hitting a pause button on life. 

"We know from studies that it reduces the lifespan of animals which normally go into torpor when they are prevented from going into torpor," Alexander Choukèr, a professor of medicine and an anesthesiology expert at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, Germany, who is also a member of the ESA team, told Space.com. "When they have these torpor phases in between, the animals can live five years, for example. When the torpor is missing, it could be just four years."

This pause-button quality of the torpor state is key to its promise for spaceflight missions. The hibernating astronaut in a Mars-bound capsule would not only save the agency cost for water, food and oxygen. He or she would, most likely, wake up rather fit, without suffering many of the negative side effects of long-term bed-rest or living in microgravity. In fact, studies show that the slowed down cells of a hibernating body don't get damaged by radiation, which is one of the biggest health-concerns during lung-duration space missions.  

Boon to medicine

These protective properties make hibernation a fascinating possibility not just for spaceflight, but also for medicine. Just like astronauts in microgravity, patients in long-term bed-rest and those in medically-induced coma waste away quickly. The recovery is slow and painstaking. 

"We put people under anesthesia all the time, but they still degrade," said Choukèr. "After you leave an Intensive Care Unit, if you are there for a long time, you are like a skeleton because of the degradation metabolism that sets in. To be able to hit that pause button would be a game-changer."

Slowing life processes, including the degradatory ones, to a minimum would provide what Bereiter-Hahn calls a "bridge," a period of time that would allow physicians to look for solutions without racing against the clock. 

"You can use that time to, for instance, develop special antibodies for a tumor and treat that tumor very successfully," said Bereiter-Hahn. "Also in organ transplantation, you would put the whole organ into torpor, as well as the patient, and then you could exchange those organs at much less danger for the patient."

In fact, added Ngo-Anh, cooling has been used by brain and cardiac surgeons for decades to improve outcomes of complicated surgeries. 

Although most of the current hibernation research is funded by space agencies and zoology institutions, Choukèr thinks that the first human to be put into this paused state of being will most likely be an intensive care patient. Once the first human survives and benefits from torpor, things will likely start moving forward much faster. 

"As it has always happened in medicine, you have to have the first human to be subjected to these conditions," Choukèr said. "At a certain point, there is a case number one where you apply [the new technique] because the risks and benefits are in a balance, and leaning more to the benefits of the subject. And then you can start from there."

Choukèr is not worried if medicine doesn't have the complex biological intricacies of the torpor state including all of its neurotransmitter signaling and environmental factors perfectly nailed down by that time. Patients (and astronauts) could still benefit, just as they have done from general anesthetics for decades. 

"We do [anesthesia] every day but we still don't 100% understand how it works," Choukèr said. "We've gained a lot of knowledge over the past 20 years but certainly, when they first started applying anesthesia, there was no real idea how this was working in the brain."

The researchers, however, agree that for hibernation to be of any use in spaceflight, it would have to work without complicated life support machines and constantly monitored intravenous lines. The journey from patient one to a trip to Mars may therefore take quite a bit longer.

Las Vegas UFO Crash Is Real, Claims Man Worked For NYPD: 10-Foot Alien Terrified Witness

Another historic extraterrestrial event has happened in the United States that will be debated in the UFO community until the truth comes out. On May 1, 2023, an object in the sky was noticed by several people in eastern California, Nevada, and Utah, which was later reported to be crashed including the alleged sighting of peculiar creatures in a residential backyard.

The incident shares similarities with other extraordinary cases from around the world, involving crashes, encounters with strange beings, and puzzling elements that defy explanation. Such stories can be easily called hoaxes, as happened with the Las Vegas crash. But independent investigative journalist and former police officer Doug Poppa shed light on his involvement in the case and provided additional information about the crash incident, according to which it is not a hoax.

Crash Incident

Both the police and news investigators took the incident seriously from the outset. Just before midnight on April 30, 2023, numerous skywatchers across multiple Western States observed a bright fireball streaking across the heavens. Around the same time, a police officer captured footage of the colorful object on his body camera, and a nearby ring camera recorded an unusual sound resembling a crash.

On May 1, 2023, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a distressing call from a terrified family. In a ranch-style home close to the crash site, a family, consisting of two brothers and their father, was engaged in vehicle repairs in their yard. Suddenly, they caught sight of a sparkling object hurtling toward the ground, followed by what they described as a shockwave.

Witness Account

One of the witnesses, a 16-year-old teenager named “Angel,” reported that the area where the object landed appeared obscured and blurry, almost as if concealed by an unknown form of camouflage. Their curiosity led them to peer into the yard, where they were confronted by a sight that prompted them to urgently contact emergency services. They described the creatures as large, measuring between 9 and 10 feet tall, with notable features such as big eyes and shiny, non-human mouths. Angel emphasized their alien-like appearance, unable to find adequate words to describe them.

Angel presents video evidence from police body cameras and a nearby ring camera, providing glimpses of the incident. The footage, albeit blurry, captures the intensity of the event and supports Angel’s account. He highlights specific moments in the videos where the creature is barely discernible but clearly present, further validating his claims.

Describing the creature in detail, Angel recollects its tall and slender frame, sporting a gray-greenish hue. When he locked eyes with it, his body froze, reminiscent of sleep paralysis experiences. The creature had distinctive features, including peculiar feet, a large face with eyes, and a sizeable mouth. Angel recalls the creature’s loud, deep breathing, which resonated with his entire being.

Overcoming the temporary paralysis, Angel sprinted toward the safety of his house, urgently dialing 911 to report the unearthly encounter. The 911 call records his distress and desperation, as he tries to convey the presence of two enormous, non-human entities in his backyard. Meanwhile, a cacophony of footsteps and whispered voices echoed in the background, further amplifying the sense of unease.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (Metro Police) initially contemplated sending a crisis intervention team to assist the shaken witness. However, upon receiving further information from other officers, they treated the incident seriously. Two officers arrived at the scene 38 minutes after the distress call, exercising caution and even managing nervous laughter.

The officers ventured into the backyard, discovering a perfectly formed circular impression on the ground, mysterious aftermath of the encounter.

Several days later, two Metro sergeants returned to the location to conduct follow-up inquiries. The family also claimed to have observed individuals in suits and sunglasses driving a government-plated car slowly past their house. However, Nellis and Creech, nearby military installations, denied any involvement or interest in the incident.

As the officers conducted their investigation, one of them expressed his own astonishment, stating that his partner had witnessed a similar light falling from the sky. This newfound validation encouraged the officers to take the situation seriously, engaging in further inquiries and canvassing the neighborhood for additional witness accounts.

Remarkably, before departing, one officer advised Angel that if he ever encountered the creatures again, he should refrain from contacting the police and instead protect himself by any means necessary. This chilling advice underscores the gravity of the situation and the officers’ own apprehension.

With the police’s departure, Angel and his family retreated indoors, seeking solace in prayer. However, their respite was abruptly shattered when an unnerving, human-like scream pierced the night from the backyard. The harrowing experience left the family shaken, questioning the nature of the events that unfolded before them.

Las Vegas Story is Not Hoax

Doug Poppa has been closely following the story of the mysterious object falling from the sky and the subsequent claims of encounters with aliens in a Las Vegas backyard. He was the first person to interview the family involved in the incident. Poppa conducted an interview with the family who made the initial call to the police, and they informed him that the law enforcement authorities installed surveillance cameras outside their home to protect them from UFO enthusiasts.

Note: 

• Poppa is an independent investigative journalist. He has authored more than 160 articles on the 2017 Las Vegas Massacre that were published by the Baltimore Post-Examiner. He is a former NYPD Auxiliary Police Officer, U.S. Army Military Police veteran, and former law enforcement officer. In 1986, he was the LCSO Criminal Investigator of the Year. He served 18 years in the Las Vegas hotel-casino industry as an investigator and Director of Security and Surveillance and worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

While Poppa remains somewhat skeptical about the incident, he acknowledges that the family appears to be credible. In his tweet, he sarcastically questioned the Las Vegas Metro Police Department’s disbelief in the video camera surveillance system he recorded at the residence, emphasizing the extensive measures taken by the Technical and Surveillance Squad.

According to local TV channel 8 News Now, an officer’s camera captured the object at around 11:50 PM local time, following a report from a resident about a non-human presence on their property. In an audio recording obtained by the TV channel, the homeowner described an eight-foot figure and another entity with big eyes inside their house, emphasizing that the beings were still present.

Poppa expressed his surprise at the police installing expensive video equipment to respond to a UFO report, stating that it is unusual for law enforcement to take such measures in such cases. His doubts and observations contribute to the ongoing intrigue surrounding the incident, raising questions about the authenticity and nature of the reported encounters.

During one of the interviews, Doug Poppa observed a peculiar occurrence. While interviewing Angel, the teenager who recorded YouTube videos about the incident, there was a mysterious female voice on the phone with Angel, instructing him to obtain Doug Poppa’s license plate. This strange interaction added an intriguing element to the investigation.

In an interview with News Nation on June 15, 2023, Poppa confirms that he recently spoke with the family and shared his experience with them. He mentions that Angel has been facing intense scrutiny and backlash on social media. The family, being Hispanic, has also received threats and derogatory comments. Poppa expresses his disappointment and highlights the need for respect and understanding.

Poppa emphasizes that three members of the family, including Angel, his brother, and their father, witnessed the strange creatures. He points out that during his interactions with the family, their accounts remained consistent, which he finds significant in assessing their credibility. As an experienced investigator with 40 years of experience, Doug Poppa made efforts to gauge the authenticity of their claims but found no reason to doubt their story.

Regarding evidence, Doug Poppa mentions that Angel posted a video on his YouTube channel, but many people have criticized and analyzed it extensively. He notes that the Baltimore Post-Examiner was the first to publish a photo of the impression left in the soil, which Angel captured on the night of the incident. Additionally, Poppa obtained a photograph from Angel showing two sergeants from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department who allegedly returned to speak with the family a few days after the initial incident.

Doug Poppa also discusses the installation of surveillance cameras on the family’s roof. These cameras were reportedly installed by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homeland Security division for the family’s protection. However, Poppa finds it peculiar that the cameras had been removed a few days before he returned to the residence on May 27th.

Poppa highlights the ongoing investigation and the need for further verification of certain aspects, such as the location of the ring camera mentioned in social media posts. He expresses his commitment to continuing his investigation into the incident and implies that there is more to uncover.

To be noted:

• According to NASA’s planetary defense officer Lindley Johnson, the green fireball observed in Las Vegas last month was most likely a bright meteor less than a meter in size and not a UFO that fell in anyone’s backyard. Johnson clarified that the object was high in the atmosphere and hundreds of miles away from Las Vegas when it was spotted, so nothing from the meteor landed in anyone’s backyard. He explained that NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) captures reports for objects estimated to exceed 1 meter in size based on the observed energy released. Therefore, smaller objects like the green fireball may not be included in NASA’s records. (Source)

In 1992, he started the Bigelow Foundation with Bob Lazar, who worked on reverse-engineering recovered extraterrestrial craft at Area-51. Mr. Bigelow also backed Dr. John E. Mack, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard who wrote two popular books about his work with people who told him they had been abducted by aliens, and Budd Hopkins, an artist who became an abduction investigator and also wrote popular books.

Mr. Bigelow’s investigative team, headed by Colm Kelleher, the institute’s scientific administrator and biochemist, documented their own paranormal events, according to a 2005 book “Hunt for the Skinwalker,” by Dr. Kelleher and Mr. Knapp.

Mr. Bigelow said he saw “interdimensional” forces at play through portals at certain paranormal hot spots like Skinwalker. But he also said he had frequently visited the ranch without experiencing the kind of chilling events others reported, as if some intelligence were selecting the people to act upon. “I slept like a log every single night,” he said. And no human was physically harmed, but he said he and other visitors often carried strange things home, like a sulfurous stink in a certain part of his house. His wife felt the presence of a faceless creature pressing down on her side of bed. (Source)

Bigelow amassed his fortune through the hotel chain Budget Suites of America and used this money to fund his UFO study. In an interview with The Associated Press, he said that UFOs are “under our noses” and wondered why news organizations had not extensively covered UFO sightings.

In 2008, Mr. Bigelow secretly created BAASS (Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies) to study the UFO mystery and related phenomena. The public did not know that he had signed a contract with the Defense Intelligence Agency to do an investigation under the AAWSAP program.

His political influence has been strong when it comes to UFO study. He once convinced his friend and then-Democratic U.S. Sen. Harry Reid to allocate $22 million to the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, which investigated UFO reports from 2007 to 2012. The majority of the funds were sent to Bigelow’s company to investigate, and the allocation was not made public until a 2017 New York Times investigation. The Pentagon stated that the program was terminated in 2012, although Reid later stated that he had no remorse about the expenditure.

Later, he and his team hired dozens of investigators, scientists, and support staff to work on putting together a huge database of original investigations and UFO files from other countries. The now-famous 2004 Tic Tac encounter off the coast of Southern California was one of the cases that BAASS looked into.

Unraveling the Tower of Babel: Myth or Reality? (Video)

The ancient ruins of Babylon, located in central Iraq, have long captivated historians and archeologists alike. Among its remnants lies a structure that has stirred intrigue and speculation—the Etemenanki ziggurat, believed by some to be the legendary Tower of Babel . With its colossal size, estimated to have reached a towering height of nearly 300 feet, this ancient edifice stands as a testament to the grandeur and ambition of the Babylonian Empire.

The biblical account of the Tower of Babel portrays a tale of human unity, divine intervention, and the consequences of defying higher powers. Scholars draw parallels between the ziggurat and the Tower, noting the shared location and remarkable similarities in construction materials. The presence of bitumen-infused bricks, as described in biblical texts, adds weight to these connections. Yet, the story does not end there. The question remains: Was the Tower of Babel destroyed by a mighty wind summoned by an angered deity, or was it brought down by the forces of nature, such as a powerful earthquake?

Gov’t SOFT LAUNCHING UFO Truth?! Leslie Kean Weighs In On Whistleblower Reporting On Rising

As the world becomes increasingly advanced and interconnected, the topic of Unidentified Flying Objects is emerging from the shadows of skepticism into the spotlight of mainstream discussion. With the evolution of our understanding, the phrase ‘UFO sightings‘ has evolved from being a topic of wild conjecture to a serious subject of scientific investigation.

Investigative journalist Leslie Kean, known for her steadfast reporting on UFO sightings and extraterrestrial phenomena, recently shed new light on this topic. The revelations, shared during her interview with a former intelligence official, have started an exciting discourse that might redefine our understanding of UFOs.

Shattering the Silence: Whistleblower Unveils Government Secrets

A startling revelation came from whistleblower David Grusch. He claimed that the United States has a task force retrieval program which allegedly possesses recovered non-human crafts. While the Department of Defense, represented by spokesperson Susan Go, has disputed these claims, this denial has not silenced the discussion surrounding UFO sightings.

• US Senate UFO Hearing: The AARO Takes Center Stage

Grusch’s assertions are further supported by Leslie Kean’s body of work, including her New York Times article from 2017. In this article, she revealed a secret Pentagon program dedicated to UFO investigations, affirming the government’s active interest in the study of UFO sightings.

The Intrigue of Non-Human Crafts

One of the most intriguing elements of this discussion is the alleged possession of “non-human origin vehicles”. Grusch stated that the U.S. has recovered a significant number of these vehicles, an assertion Kean has found serious enough to report.

However, both Kean and Grush have maintained that they are not claiming proof of extraterrestrial life. Rather, they underline the existence of vehicles of non-human origin and the vital distinction that it doesn’t necessarily mean they originate from extraterrestrial beings. The primary concern here is the propulsion of a more extensive investigation into the mystery of these crafts’ origins.

Beyond UFO Sightings: Encouraging Government Transparency

The existence of classified information within government institutions about UFO sightings is nothing new. However, Kean urges that transparency is key to a thorough understanding of these phenomena. The claims made by Grusch and Kean are not about proving the existence of aliens but rather about promoting comprehensive inquiry into UFO sightings.

The recent interest of the Appropriations Committee in holding hearings on this subject is a promising development. The hope is that such hearings will lead to a more open discussion, sparking public interest and possibly encouraging more whistleblowers to step forward.

Looking Towards the Future

With such discussions now entering mainstream discourse, the anticipation is palpable. As people become more aware of UFO sightings and government involvement, the way we perceive these phenomena is changing. And while we can’t predict what we will uncover next, the importance of ongoing investigation and openness cannot be overstated.

Exploring the mysteries of UFO sightings isn’t just about science fiction or conspiracy theories. It’s about our curiosity, our will to uncover the truth, and our ongoing journey to understand the universe we inhabit. These are exciting times for both believers and skeptics alike, as we all look to the skies with renewed interest and anticipation.

Largest asteroid ever to hit Earth was twice as big as the rock that killed off the dinosaurs

The largest asteroid ever to hit Earth, which slammed into the planet around 2 billion years ago, may have been even more massive than scientists previously thought. Based on the size of the Vredefort crater, the enormous impact scar left by the gargantuan space rock in what is now South Africa, researchers recently estimated that the epic impactor could have been around twice as wide as the asteroid that wiped out the nonavian dinosaurs.

The Vredefort crater, which is located around 75 miles (120 kilometers) southwest of Johannesburg, currently measures about 99 miles (159 km) in diameter, making it the biggest visible crater on Earth. However, it is smaller than the Chicxulub crater buried under Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, which measures around 112 miles (180 km) in diameter and was left by the dinosaur-killing asteroid that struck Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period about 66 million years ago. 

But impact craters slowly erode over time, which makes them shrink. The most recent estimates suggest that the Vredefort crater was originally 155 to 174 miles (250 to 280 km) across when it was formed 2 billion years ago. As a result, the Vredefort crater is considered the largest impact crater on Earth despite being smaller than the Chicxulub crater today.    

In the past, scientists thought the Vredefort crater was originally much smaller — around 107 miles (172 km) wide. Based on that estimate, researchers previously calculated that the asteroid responsible for the impact would have measured around 9.3 miles (15 km) across and collided at a speed of around 33,500 mph (53,900 km/h). But in a new study, scientists have revisited the crater's measurements and gained new insight into the size of the enormous space rock.

• Could an asteroid destroy Earth? 

In the study, which was published online Aug. 8 in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, researchers recalculated the size of the Vredefort asteroid and found that the destructive space rock likely measured somewhere between 12.4 and 15.5 miles (20 and 25 km) across, and could have been traveling between 45,000 and 56,000 mph (72,000 and 90,000 km/h) when it struck our planet.

"Understanding the largest impact structure that we have on Earth is critical" because it allows researchers to build more accurate geological models, study lead author Natalie Allen, a doctoral candidate in the Johns Hopkins University Department of Physics and Astronomy in Baltimore, said in a statement. More accurate predictions of impactor sizes also could shed light on other craters on Earth and throughout the solar system, she added. 

Size uncertainty 

In the past, scientists have struggled to pin down the original size of the Vredefort crater due to its erosion over the past 2 billion years. 

To understand how erosion affects ancient impact craters such as Vredefort, imagine continually slicing the rim off a bowl, Roger Gibson, a structural geologist at University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa who was not involved in the study, told NASA's Earth Observatory in 2018. "If you slice horizontally through the bowl progressively, you would see that the bowl's diameter will decrease with each slice you take off."

In addition to the natural erosion of the Vredefort impact structure, newer rock formations have emerged atop parts of the crater, the researchers wrote. As a result, most of the crater's original structure has been completely covered by younger rocks and only small sections of the crater's elevated rim are visible today, making it even harder to tell how big the crater used to be.

However, other recent studies have estimated the Vredefort crater's size by focusing on minerals surrounding the crater. By doing this, scientists have spotted deformations and shock fractures in crystals, like quartz and zircon, that were caused by the ancient impact and thereby expand the known radius of the blast, the study authors wrote. 

As a result, the researchers are confident that their new estimate for the size of the Vredefort asteroid is more accurate than previous estimates.

A cataclysmic impact 

When the dinosaur-killing asteroid, which likely measured around 7.5 miles (12 km) wide, hit Earth around 66 million years ago, the destruction caused by the impact was immense. The Cretaceous-ending event caused widespread forest fires and acid rain; generated mile-high waves in a tsunami that reached halfway across the planet; and sent plumes of ash and dust into the atmosphere, drastically altering the climate. Around 75% of life on Earth was wiped out by the event, according to a study published in December 2021 in the journal Scientific Reports.

• World's oldest meteor crater isn't what it seems

Based on the revised calculations of the Vredefort crater's original size, the new study suggests that the Vredefort asteroid was likely around twice as large as the dinosaur-killer. It also may have been traveling much faster, so its impact would have been even more severe — potentially the single largest energy-release event in Earth's history, the study authors reported. However, because the impact happened so long ago, there is scant evidence of the blast's ground-shaking power and the effects of the collision on the planet. 

"Unlike the Chicxulub impact, the Vredefort impact did not leave a record of mass extinction or forest fires given that there were only single-cell lifeforms and no trees existed two billion years ago," study co-author Miki Nakajima, a planetary scientist at the University of Rochester in New York, said in the statement. "However, the impact would have affected the global climate potentially more extensively than the Chicxulub impact did."

Therefore, continuing to study Vredefort crater could be the only way researchers learn more about this cataclysmic impact.

Filmmaker Jeremy Corbell Claimed ‘UFOs & Aliens Are Just Small Part of Larger Reality’

Documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell has stunned UFO enthusiasts with his piece of evidence on the phenomenon and information he received while studying UFOs. He is the one who shared the video footage showing the UFO as a transmedium vehicle. Additionally, he says that UFOs and aliens are just a small part of a larger reality along with other interesting and eye-opening statements in an extensive interview with Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal.

Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell is an American contemporary artist and investigative filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. He did extensive research on nanotechnology, aerospace exploration, and exotic propulsion systems, as well as an in-depth examination into the life and discoveries of the enigmatic “Godfather of Conspiracy” John Lear.

Corbell has documented the surgical removal of alleged off-world alien implants, and has filmed NASA’s analysis of anomalous materials alleged to be physical evidence of extraterrestrial nano-technology from UFO landing sites. He has obtained deathbed confessions from former CIA and government intelligence officials who claim to expose the truth about UFOs and the worldwide coverup of the ultimate truth.

Corbell released the film “Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers” on Netflix, adding credibility to Lazar’s case. Moreover, his 2-hour interview with Curt Jaimungal discussed dozens of topics that added great information to the UAP/UFO phenomena. In 2021, he leaked a film of the US Navy photographed & filmed “spherical” shaped UFOs & advanced transmedium vehicles. In the footage shared by filmmaker and UFO enthusiast Jeremy Corbell, a flying object can be seen disappearing into the water off California.

In this interview, he covers a variety of controversial subjects including the release of the Tic-Tac videos by the government, possible government disinformation campaigns, and the claims of Bob Lazar that he once worked on backward engineering an alien craft.

UFOs and Aliens Just Small Part of ‘Larger Reality’

Corbell asserted in the interview that aliens and UFOs are a small part of a much larger reality of this mysterious and mind-boggling phenomenon.

He said: 

“UFOs appear to be part of a larger phenomenon meaning UFOs are kind of an auxiliary implication of a much larger reality. So this idea that what we’re seeing are machines from other planets. I’m unconvinced what we may be seeing is an alternate reality. You know maybe it is something closer to dimensional travel.

There seems to be another version of reality that is occurring and that somehow once they pop through into our reality. And this is not just from a cursory look at the ufo phenomenon, this is from talking with thousands of close encounter eyewitnesses who tell me that this is something bigger than just flying machines.

To give you an example at Skinwalker Ranch. The report is that a piece of the sky opened up like a tear and out of this came “Beings” came “Craft.” So, UFOs is a symptom, it’s part of this alternate reality, The phenomenon as I call it. But it’s not just about UFOs represent this phenomenon.

I know this to be true that Skinwalker ranch is the best example of this because you have UFO phenomena. But you also have cattle mutilation which is often associated with lights in the sky. So, cattle mutilation is something a concrete example.

Cattle mutilation, Is this a UFO phenomenon or a government experiment, or is this a private corporation that’s going around mutilating these cows and draining their blood in the dead of the night? Nobody has ever been caught during these cattle mutilations.

They are the same across the board. They’re drained of blood. The farmers and people that are cattle ranchers see UFOs oftentimes during these mutilations so I can’t separate them.”

American billionaire Robert Bigelow shared his personal experiences and losses that prompted his interest in life after death, as well as UFOs. He talked about possible links between consciousness research and UFOs. He also talked about the risks of trying to establish communications with the unknown.

“That’s been mainly what I’ve been doing except for the skinwalker ranch thing for 20 years as the space world has been huge in my life to pursue the legitimate parochial kind of you know using fire engines rockets to get you there. We didn’t expect anything like this to happen and so there this is different. This is the holy grail and is different than the second holy grail. If the second one is ‘Beings’ (E.T.), then the first one: Is there any part of your consciousness that survives your bodily death? That’s a big deal. That’s a huge story. That’s gigantic.”

Dr. Travis Taylor’s Statement On Skinwalker Ranch

Dr. Taylor joined businessman Brandon Fugals’s team at Fugals’s infamous Skinwalker ranch three years ago and firmly believed he would be able to resolve the ranch’s assorted mysteries in short order. But the longer he stayed, the stranger things became. In his interview with investigative journalist George Knapp, he said: “You know, I had never seen a UFO until I got out there. Now, I have seen more UFOs now than you can count.” (Source)

In the surprisingly candid and wide-ranging interview, Dr. Taylor shared his opinions about the role of science in the pursuit of the unknown, his personal experiences with strange phenomena on Skinwalker Ranch, the physical effects of close encounter cases, and the mysterious “hitchhiker effect” that multiple UFO/paranormal eyewitnesses have reported.

In his opinion, this unexplained phenomenon can be different for people in regards to their brain activity. Hypothetically speaking, he said that the phenomenon can be connected with different planes in the universe. He added that he could go along with the idea of a portal but was not sure. He believes it is bizarre but there is some truth to it.

Unearthly Encounters in Las Vegas: A Deep-Dive into a Family’s Mystery

In the heart of the bustling city of Las Vegas, under the bright neon lights, a bewildering incident took place on the 30th of April that sent shivers down the spines of many. A local family claimed that an unexplainable entity had crashed in their backyard, an occurrence so outlandish that they felt compelled to dial 911. But what was it that landed in their yard? Who, or what, were these beings deemed as “non-human” by the distressed household?

https://youtu.be/kgegTgwBz-c

Despite the severe scrutiny and the doubts cast on their story, the family stuck to their narrative. The non-human entities they described remained a constant element in their tale, and as they saw it, their story didn’t change.

A Turning Point: The Installation of Cameras

Poppa’s investigation took an unexpected turn when he discovered surveillance cameras installed on the family’s rooftop. These cameras appeared about two weeks post the incident and were mysteriously removed a few days later. This unusual occurrence was confirmed by Poppa and his police sources, affirming that the cameras were installed by the Technical and Surveillance Squad, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homeland Security Division.

Curiously, the cameras were installed just three days before May 27th, when Poppa exposed their existence. According to the family, the police department sought permission to install the cameras on their property, citing it was for their protection. This move, however, was unusual and raised more questions than it answered. Was there more to this incident than meets the eye?

The Unsettling Aftermath

Despite the mounting pressure and the harassment the family faced, their story has stood firm. They continue to believe in what they witnessed and the reality of their eerie encounter. The authorities’ reactions, the heightened surveillance, and the unusual removal of cameras have only deepened the mystery surrounding the case.

While there remain more questions than answers, Doug Poppa continues his relentless investigation. As this story unfolds and Poppa digs deeper, the public eagerly awaits the unraveling of the puzzle. What truly happened on that fateful April night? Who were the beings that visited this Las Vegas family, and more importantly, why did they come? The answers, as it seems, are still hidden in the shadows, waiting to be discovered.

In the city of Las Vegas, where every day is a spectacle, an ordinary family experienced the extraordinary. Their story, a testament to the unexplored mysteries of the universe, challenges our understanding of the world around us and beckons us to keep questioning the unknown.

The shocking revelation about government secrets and alien technology

In an era when information is at our fingertips, it seems almost impossible for any global entity, especially the government, to keep a secret. However, in a recent interview with David Grusch, a former intelligence officer turned whistleblower, new light has been shed on undisclosed government programs and the possible existence of non-human intelligence, or NHI, as it is referred to.

Grusch, who had been embedded deep within the U.S government’s clandestine operations, has come forward to share the extent of the government’s knowledge and cover-up of extraterrestrial life and technology. He asserts that while our government has secretively kept this information under wraps, it has simultaneously perpetuated an elaborate disinformation campaign to stigmatize the very idea of extraterrestrials.

• Watch FULL 1 hour interview with UFO whistleblower David Grusch here!

This disinformation strategy has been so skillfully executed that anyone daring to broach the subject of extraterrestrials was immediately sidelined as a conspiracy theorist, discrediting their claims, no matter how legitimate. The general consensus fostered was that talking about aliens was a mark of madness, hence the stereotype of the “tinfoil hat guy.”

• Unexplained Incidents NASA's UAP Report Is Investigating | UFOs

However, David Grusch stands as a credible counter to this narrative. As someone with an intimate knowledge of the government’s inner workings, he presents a strong case – strong enough that the U.S Inspector General deemed his whistleblower complaint as “urgent and credible.”

Yet, one might ask why such earth-shattering information has not been leaked before. The answer, according to Grusch, lies in the government’s adept control of information flow and its ability to keep secrets. Many secrets have never seen the light of day, maintained under the tight wraps of national security and the imperative to avoid widespread panic. But these justifications become hard to swallow when we consider the potential benefits of such advanced technologies.

• Mysterious Metallic Spheres: Are They Spying on Our Military?

Grusch’s ultimate goal is not just the public revelation of NHI existence, but more importantly, the release of non-human technology for the benefit of all. He draws a comparison with nuclear physics – while nuclear weapons designs are kept classified, the underlying nuclear physics is open for all to study. In the same vein, Gruschargues, knowledge about extraterrestrial life and associated technology should not be suppressed.

Grusch’s revelations leave us standing at the precipice of a massive paradigm shift. If his allegations are indeed valid, the implications are world-changing, pushing us to reevaluate our place in the universe. We are now left grappling with the potential reality of non-human intelligence coexisting with us and the need to figure out our next steps.

What will be the reaction of these non-human intelligences when they realize we know about their existence? According to Grusch, they appear neutral, having stood by as humanity fought wars and perpetrated genocides.

Will the governments admit the truth, disband the military-industrial complex responsible for this colossal cover-up? Or will they continue to operate in shadows, keeping secrets and muzzling voices that dare to question?

The future of our planet and humanity is in question, underscoring the need for courage, integrity, and transparency from our governments. It took one individual to shed light on these secrets. It will require collective willpower to confront these revelations, navigate the uncharted waters, and make informed decisions about our shared future.

Ex-US Sec. of Energy: ‘Aliens Are Real & I’ve Seen Them’; Briefed On UFOs In Underground Base

No wonder the whole world will unite if tomorrow Earth is invaded by aliens. It may sound like science fiction but the probability of it cannot be denied. There are many accounts of encountering non-human beings but such stories are often neglected due to a lack of strong evidence. However, things become different when a government itself supports such claims. Some of them were Gen. Douglas McArthur, Gen. George Marshall, Werner Von Braun, President Ronald Reagan, Gen. Nathan Twining, Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, and many others.

Former US President Ronald Reagan expressed his concern about an alien invasion in his speeches from 1985 to 1988. In one of his speeches to the UN, he said: “What if all of us in the world were threatened by an outer power, from outer space, from another planet? We would all of a sudden find out that we didn’t have any differences at all.” None of the presidential aides, speechwriters, and handlers liked what he said. Besides, it never appeared on original drafts. Despite it, Reagan continued adding it subtly.

In 1982, there was a special screening of the movie “ET: The Extra-Terrestrial” at the White House. During the screening, President Reagan whispered to Steven Spielberg that everything depicted in the film was real. Spielberg confirmed this during an interview with Quint (also known as Eric Vespe).

Spielberg said: “No, he wasn’t ushered out of the room. He was the President of the United States! Nobody could usher Ronald Reagan out of the room! It was in the White House screening room and Reagan got up to thank me for bringing the film to show the President, the First Lady, and all of their guests, which included Sandra Day O’Connor in her first week as a Justice of the Supreme Court, and it included some astronauts… I think Neil Armstrong was there, I’m not 100% certain, but it was an amazing, amazing evening.”

Reagan was criticized for his bizarre comments on aliens, he was called an actor reading a script but the truth is that they were his own words. In the following years, many officials in the White House hinted at the presence of outer world life.

One such interesting case is brought to light by the writer, producer, co-host of the podcast Need To Know, and former CNN correspondent Bryce Zabel. Mr. Bryce discovered the story of a Reagan administration cabinet member crying himself to sleep after being briefed on the truth about UFOs.

 John Herrington, Former US Navy AS R&MA and served as the United States Secretary of Energy under Ronald Reagan during his second term.

President Reagan and James Baker interviewing John Herrington for the cabinet position of Secretary of Energy in Oval Office Photo courtesy of U.S. National Archives and Records Administration: Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum.

Mr. Bryce was telling a story originally told by his friend Brent Friedman. According to him, Brent was a family friend of John S. Herrington, who served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of Energy in the Reagan Administration. Herrington “had Brent drive his car across the country in 1981 because he had just taken a position in the Reagan administration.” This is where Herrington allegedly told this story to Friedman. (Source)

Friedman said: “A good family friend of ours, when I was just getting out of high school, was working at a very high level in the Reagan administration. One night, he took me aside and was telling me some of the things he was doing in the government. He was going to get us a White House tour and everything and ended up telling me some pretty shattering stories.

And in particular, he knew that I had always been into science fiction and fantasy and comic books and very casually just threw out there that aliens were real. They’re here, and I’ve seen them. The story goes on to much greater detail because at the time, I was just absolutely shocked. And this is a person I grew up with and I completely trusted, and he just rocked my world.”

The same story is cited in the book “A.D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact” by Bryce Zabel and Richard Dolan:

“In addition to Sauder’s well-documented research, there are other tantalizing links to the underground world. One, for example, concerns an assistant secretary to a branch of the armed forces in a new Republican administration. This person told a family friend that he had been ‘briefed’ for some eight weeks at an underground facility outside of Washington.”

When asked the purpose of the briefing, this highly-positioned man, who went on to become a cabinet secretary, said: “There is intelligent life in the universe. It’s here. And I’ve seen it.” The man said that the information he had been given caused him to cry himself to sleep for a number of nights. The reason, he told his shocked listener, was that he had children. “This is not the kind of world I thought they’d grow up in.

What kinds of things are going on that require months-long briefings in underground facilities and cause grown men to cry? The cabinet secretary told the family friend that aliens were just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ in terms of mind-blowing revelations. It is clear, then, that large underground facilities not only are real, but are connected in some way with the reality of ETs or ‘Others’ here on Earth

• US Govt. Insider Contacts Neuroscientist And Tells Him ‘UFOs Are Non-Human Intelligence’

The claims of non-human intelligence living with us are not new and have been told by more than a dozen of government officials.

• The Honorable Paul Hellyer (1923-2021), former Canadian Minister of Defense said extraterrestrials have been visiting our planet for thousands of years and it is likely that at least two of them are working with the U.S. government and sharing their highly-advanced technologies with humans.

Hellyer stated that “aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government.” More specifically, Hellyer announced that at least four species of extraterrestrials had been visiting Earth for thousands of years. According to Huffington Post Canada, he also stated that some extraterrestrials originate from the “Zeta Reticuli, the Pleiades, Orion, Andromeda, and Altair star systems” and “may have different agendas.”

• In December 2020, Haim Eshed, a retired Israeli general and former head of the Israeli Defense Ministry’s space directorate gained attention for making controversial claims about extraterrestrial life and alleged secret collaborations between humans and aliens. He stated that aliens and the U.S. government had reached some type of deal to stay quiet about their experiments on Earth and secret facilities on Mars.

In his claims, Mr. Eshed said ETs exist and monitor our nuclear capabilities. There is a “Galactic Federation,” and the alien species with whom humanity will contact is “Grey.” According to him, Earth is their Petri dish, and they are also trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe. He further stated that some of the smaller UFOs are robots/AI, consciousness is present after death, and humans have anti-gravity technology but it is still classified.

• Jim Semivan, a former CIA officer has recently made a shocking statement, saying “there’s a whole other reality that surrounds us that we just simply don’t have the ability to see or interact with. There’s an entity out there! There’s some kind of non-human intelligence that’s living with us on this planet!”
  

“I think they mention that the phenomenon is a natural part of our universe, and we’re living in it but we don’t recognize it. The same way that insects and animals don’t recognize the human universe. A cat and a dog could be running through a library, but they don’t have the faintest idea what the books are all about and what libraries are all about. We might be walking through our existence and there’s a whole other reality that surrounds us that we just simply don’t have the ability to see or interact with.”

“It seems to be peeking inside our little consensus reality. As I explained to somebody once, it comes close, it teases us, it cajoles us, it lies to us, but you can never take it home to meet the parents. It won’t allow you to do that. There’s no formal introduction. Add on top that there’s no ontology, which is just a fancy word, it basically means there’s no structure to even discuss this. We don’t have a common lexicon. Somebody said we have dots but no connections. I don’t even think we have dots.”

UFO Mystery: Controversy Swirls Around Report of Retrieved 'Craft'

By ADAM DODD, THE CONVERSATION

Now, however, journalists Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal have injected fresh vigor into these aging claims – apparently with the Pentagon's approval.

In an article for science and technology news site The Debrief, they report the US government, its allies, and defense contractors have retrieved multiple craft of non-human origin, along with the occupants' bodies.

Additionally, they report this information has been illegally withheld from US Congress, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office established by the US Department of Defense in 2022 to look into UFOs, and the public.

What are the claims?

The primary source for the new claims is former US intelligence official David Grusch.

Grusch's credentials, verified by Kean and Blumenthal, are impressive. He is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office. He represented both organizations on the US government's task force studying unidentified aerial phenomena (the official term for UFOs).

Grusch says the retrieved materials are: "of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures."

Grusch's claims are supported by Jonathan Grey, who works for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, where he focuses on analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena.

Grey told Kean and Blumenthal: "The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone […] Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States."

How credible are the claims?

Kean and Blumenthal are credible and accomplished reporters on UFOs.

In 2017, writing with Helene Cooper for the The New York Times, they revealed a secret US$22 million Pentagon UFO research program. That article did much to initiate a wider rethinking about UFOs, avoiding stereotypes, stigma, and sensationalism.

Most of the subsequent "UFO turn" in US defense policy and public discourse has focused on images and eyewitness testimony of anomalous airborne objects.

Now, Kean and Blumenthal may have brought anomalous objects themselves – and even their supposed non-human occupants – into the conversation.

Shortly after the Debrief article, Australian journalist Ross Coulthart's interview with Grusch appeared on US news network News Nation. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Christopher Mellon, has also published an article in Politico calling for greater transparency.

This looks a lot like an orchestrated effort to convince the public (and US Congress) something much more substantial than "things in the sky we can't explain" is going on.

Approved by the Pentagon?

Grusch seems to have followed Pentagon protocol in publishing his information.

Kean and Blumenthal write Grusch: "provided the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review at the Department of Defense with the information he intended to disclose to us. His on-the-record statements were all "cleared for open publication" on April 4 and 6, 2023, in documents provided to us."

What does that mean?

A Prepublication and Security Review is how the Pentagon confirms information proposed for public release is reviewed to ensure compliance with established national and Department of Defense policies, and to determine it: "contains no classified, controlled unclassified, export-controlled, or operational security related information."

If Grusch's information is true, it is surely both "classified" and "operational security related".

So why would the Pentagon approve its publication?

If Grusch's information is false, it would probably not qualify as classified or operational security related. But this raises another question: why would the Pentagon approve the publication of an unfounded conspiracy theory about itself?

Doing so would likely mislead the public, journalists, and Congress. It would also undermine the Pentagon's own attempt to understand the unidentified aerial phenomena problem: the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

An official denial

Indeed, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office told News Nation it:
"has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently."

Grusch has an explanation for this apparent ignorance.

When it comes to unidentified aerial phenomena investigations, he says, the US government's left hand doesn't know what its right is doing, with: "multiple agencies nesting [unidentified aerial phenomena] activities in conventional secret access programs without appropriate reporting to various oversight authorities."

Timothy Good's classic 1987 exploration of UFO investigations, Above Top Secret, described similar bureaucracy.

Nested activities and segregated knowledge

The notion of "nested" unidentified aerial phenomena activities, segregating knowledge within vast bureaucracies, is partly what makes Grusch's claims both intriguing and (for now) unverifiable.

If this is the case, organizations focusing on unidentified aerial phenomena, such as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, may operate in earnest and report transparently on the best information they have. Yet they may also be deprived of information essential to their activities.

This would make them little more than PR fronts, designed to create the impression of meaningful action.

In the absence of direct experience of unidentified aerial phenomena, most of us rely on information about them to form our beliefs. Scrutinizing how this information is produced and distributed is essential.

US government activity in this area will continue. Congressman James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, has said he will hold a hearing on UFOs in response to Grusch's allegations.

NASA’s Curiosity Rover recently pointed its navigation cameras back the way it had come to capture two panoramic photos of the rover’s tracks leading out of Marker Band Valley. Curiosity imaging team members created a composite of the images, which was released Monday

You can still get a hint that it’s a composite: The giveaway is in the drastically different angles of the shadows on each side of the image. One panorama shows a mid-morning view, while the other shows late afternoon — both timed to take advantage of the most dramatic natural lighting and the dark, deep shadows of Martian winter.

The Marker Band Valley gets its name from a thin, dark, and surprisingly tough layer of rock that runs along the valley’s walls. Scientists aren’t sure exactly what the marker band is made of because the frustratingly tough rock has resisted all of Curiosity’s efforts to drill out a sample. But it’s home to surprising traces of an ancient lake in an area that mission planners expected to have been dry even during Mars’s warmer, wetter past, Curiosity found layers of rippled rock, still bearing the texture left behind by waves in an ancient lake.

If you want to send home a panoramic view from Mars, though, it’s not quite as easy as clicking the panorama option on your phone’s camera and then panning around the horizon (yet). Combined, the two images took about 15 minutes to capture, and each one arrived on Earth as five individual photos, which NASA teams had to carefully stitch together using computer software.

Next, they carefully blended the two panoramas together. And because Curiosity’s navigation camera only takes photos in black and white, NASA decided to add a filter; they carefully colorized both images, using a deep blue sky for the morning shot and a cheery yellow for the afternoon.

The result is a stunning postcard from Gale Crater, where Curiosity has been exploring since 2012. Curiosity’s tracks in the Martian sand lead back toward a valley called Marker Band Valley, which is home to an ancient lakebed. In the far background, you can see the edge of Gale Crater, 25 miles away and receding into the distance as Curiosity scales Mount Sharp. Beyond the crater’s rim, clear winter skies afford a rare view of an even more distant mountain, 75 miles away from the rover.

How Science Fiction Sparked Our Flights to the Final Frontier

“The first realistic steps taken in rocket development were because of a French science-fiction book,” Manber says in the latest episode of the Fiction Science podcast. “And that’s an underlying theme, in that we really needed a commercial ecosystem to get going. It’s not a government decree.”

The influence of Verne’s classic spaceflight novel, “From the Earth to the Moon,” continues to the present day: For example, when Bezos built the headquarters for his Blue Origin rocket venture, he brought in a Verne-inspired, Victorian-style rocket ship (complete with a cushy cockpit) to serve as the centerpiece of the building’s lobby.

Manber also pays tribute to Jules Verne in the title of his book series: “From the Earth to Mars.” He’s writing the story chapter by chapter, and the first two chapters recently came out as a 106-page volume.

Verne’s story resonated with Manber for several reasons: First, the heroes of the story aren’t government employees, but members of a a group called the Baltimore Gun Club. They raise the money to build a giant gun as well as a projectile big enough for three club members to climb inside. A blastoff from Florida sends the trio on a thrilling ride to the moon and back, ending with a Pacific Ocean splashdown.

Manber loves the “eerie similarities” to NASA’s Apollo moon missions, but he’s even more impressed by the tale’s impact on early rocketeers.

Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was so taken by the tale that he looked into whether a giant gun could actually fire a spaceship to the moon. He determined that it couldn’t, but went on to work out what’s now known as the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation. Tsiolkovsky also came up with the idea of using multistage rockets, with liquid oxygen and hydrogen as an option for propellants.

“From the Earth to Mars: The Surprising History of the Rocket Pioneers Who Launched Humanity Into Space,” by Jeffrey Manber. (Multiverse Media)

In his book, Manber traces the cross-fertilization that took place between Russian and German rocketeers, as well as between those rocketeers and science-fiction writers. For example, German rocket scientist Hermann Oberth collaborated with famed filmmaker Fritz Lang on a 1929 movie called “The Woman in the Moon,” based on Oberth’s ideas as well as a story written by Lang’s wife, Thea von Harbou. (You can watch the full movie on the Internet Archive, but skip the first 90 minutes to get to the good stuff.)

Once again, the connections between fiction and reality are eerie: During the making of the movie, Lang invented the second-by-second countdown as a device to heighten the drama of a rocket launch. He even tried to film an actual rocket launch for a scene in the movie. That idea fizzled out — but years after the movie was released, the Nazis recruited Oberth along with other technical advisers to work on their V-2 missile program. (They also banned showings of the movie and destroyed Lang’s rocket models, for fear they would expose secrets.)

“You can trace that to the V-2,” Manber said.

The first installment of “From the Earth to Mars” ends before the Nazis and the V-2 enter the picture. But future installments will address that dark chapter as well as the development of government-led space programs in Russia, the U.S. and China.

“I want people to know what our roots are, and it’s going to keep going all the way to the present,” Manber said.

Fast-forward to the future

Some of the narrative will surely draw upon Manber’s decades of personal experience in space commercialization. As the head of a company called MirCorp, he basically turned Russia’s Mir space station into a privately financed operation during its final days in 2000. A couple of years later, he came oh-so-close to sending boy-band singer Lance Bass to the International Space Station.

Manber was more successful with the space venture that followed, Nanoracks, which blazed a trail for commercial research and satellite deployment on the space station. Nanoracks and its current parent company, Voyager Space, arranged to have the Bishop Airlock added to the space station in 2021, marking another milestone for commercial space development. Today, Voyager Space and Nanoracks are part of an industry team that’s developing a commercial space station called Starlab with backing from NASA.

Manber has eased back on his corporate responsibilities — but last month, he was awarded NASA’s Distinguished Public Service Medal for “developing the foundation for the nascent commercial economy” in low Earth orbit through his work at MirCorp and Nanoracks. “I can take some solace that in space, with what we were handed, we’ve taken it and passed it along in better shape,” he said.

So, what about the next chapters in the real-life space saga? Manber offered a few predictions about the twists that are likely to lie ahead on the path from the Earth to Mars:

• When will humans set foot on Mars? “I am a very cautious human being,” Manber said. “My cautious answer will be, I finally believe we will return to the moon and go on to Mars sooner than the pessimists believe.” But SpaceX and its CEO, Elon Musk, could force a radical change in Manber’s calculations. “I’ll put it to you this way,” he said. “If he gets Starship going in the next year or two, we’re going to Mars sooner than you and I think.”
• If SpaceX can get its Starship super-rocket through testing and into operation, that would be a game-changer, Manber said. “In fact, it’s so much of a game-changer, I have concerns about monopolistic behavior,” he said. “I didn’t fight for 30, 40 years to make this a commercial marketplace, or a competition, to replace one single point with another, which would be SpaceX. … I like the dream. I like all that. But I want competition.”
• Manber said U.S.-Chinese space cooperation seems more likely, despite longstanding limits on technological ties. “I understand very well the tensions in the South China Sea, the economic tensions, but there’s always that room for that thing called commercial,” he said. “I see no reason today, 2023, that we should not be doing commercial work in space with the Chinese.”
• The consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have shaken Manber’s faith in international space cooperation. U.S.-Russian cooperation is continuing on the International Space Station, but Manber doubts that will carry over to future projects. “Everything I worked on grinds to a halt, except for the ISS,” he said.

Is there anyone who can take Jules Verne’s place for inspiring the next generation of innovators? Check out the original version of this report on Cosmic Log for Manber’s reading recommendations.

Is America hiding Alien technology? – Indian Media covers the Grusch story

In the unending stretch of the cosmos, secrets are born and concealed. Among these mysteries, the question of the existence of extraterrestrial life has long sparked intrigue and debate. The universe, sprawling across 93 billion light years and cradling approximately two trillion galaxies, is a treasure trove of infinite possibilities. Yet, despite its vastness, the question persists: Are we alone?

Since time immemorial, the human species has reported enigmatic sightings of inexplicable lights and flying objects. The first known mention dates back to 440 BCE in ancient Egypt, when scribes reported observing fiery discs floating in the skies. Interestingly, even 10,000-year-old rock paintings found in India’s Bastar region depict UFO-like entities.

• Is America hiding Alien technology?

Despite these historical records, the concrete evidence of otherworldly beings remains elusive. However, recent claims made by an ex-U.S intelligence official, David Charles Grusch, have rekindled this perennial debate.

• Full interview with David Grusch available here!

Grusch, a combat veteran of Afghanistan and an ex-member of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) task force, asserts that the U.S. is harboring intact and partially intact vehicles of non-human origin. Moreover, Jonathan Gray, another U.S Intel official working at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, has confirmed these allegations, suggesting that we are not alone.

The credibility of these claims is underpinned by Grusch’s formidable credentials. Serving on the UAP task force from 2019 to 2021 as a representative of the National Reconnaissance Office, his reputation is considered solid within intelligence circles. His whistleblowing has led to the U.S House of Representatives planning an oversight committee to investigate these assertions.

This isn’t the first time the U.S. government has probed the UFO phenomena. Past endeavors include Project Blue Book, Project Grudge, and Project Serpo. These investigations, although suspended or concluded without definitive answers, have nonetheless strengthened the idea that UFOs exist.

Worldwide, other nations have also delved into the enigma of extraterrestrial life, from the United Kingdom’s secret studies to the Soviet Union’s 13-year operation, Institute 22. All these probes, while not conclusively determining the origin of UFOs, concur on their existence.

Yet, in spite of the global fascination, the source of these UFOs remains shrouded in mystery. Some theories suggest they’re controlled by extraterrestrial beings with no interest in human contact, while others propose they’re human-made, leveraging unknown laws of physics.

Today, the quest for truth continues. If Grusch’s claims hold water, it could potentially turn our understanding of the cosmos upside down. As the U.S. House of Representatives prepares to delve deeper into these allegations, we might be on the brink of a revelation.

In the vast expanse of the universe, the possibility of other civilizations existing seems less like fiction and more like a hidden truth waiting to be discovered. Whether these elusive entities are cosmic neighbors or mere figments of our collective imagination, the human yearning for knowledge and the thrill of the unknown will continue to drive our quest for answers.

The reality of alien existence, whether proven or disproven, will bring a seismic shift in our understanding of life and our place in the universe. The clock is ticking, and perhaps, we are on the precipice of an ontological shock that could redefine our perception of the cosmos forever.

Ex-CIA Officer On UFOs & Aliens: Says ‘They Are Showing Up In 2027’

The slides, which are available online, also include historical information about UFOs and current statements made by prominent former U.S. intelligence officials, including John Ratcliffe, a former director of national intelligence. He stated a schematic on how to investigate a UFO in the CIA style:

Establish a group to investigate and evaluate sightings;
Determine the objectives of your investigation;
Consult with experts;
Create a reporting system to organize incoming cases;
Eliminate false positives;
Develop a methodology to identify common aircraft and other aerial phenomena often mistaken for UFOs;
Examine witness documentation;
Conduct controlled experiments;
Gather and test physical and forensics evidence and Discourage false reporting.

Ramirez made assumptions regarding the current UFO disclosure procedure, and it appears that his opinions may have been influenced by members of the intelligence community, either current or former, or perhaps by individuals connected to the Department of Defense. During his interview with Project Unity, Ramirez claimed that the US government does not currently discuss the UFO craft’s occupants. This is a significant comment from Ramirez, who has asserted his opinion that UFOs may indeed represent a form of non-human intelligence.

Ramirez is not the first CIA agent to make the assertion that UFOs might be non-human intelligence. John Brennan, a former CIA director, suggested that UFOs might be “a different form of life.” Brennan said: “You try to ensure that you have as much data as possible in terms of visuals and also different types of maybe technical collection of sensors that you have at the time. (Source)

Also, I believe, it’s important to reach out into other environments and find out, were there any type of weather phenomena at that time that might have, in fact, created the appearance of the phenomenon that you’re looking at? Were there some things that were happening on the ground, or other types of phenomena that could help explain what seems to be quite a mystery as far as what is there? You really have to approach it with an open mind, but get as much data as possible and get as much expertise as possible brought to bear.”

Ramirez made an intriguing statement in response to the rumor that the US government is reluctant to discuss the potential UFO occupants. The U.S. Air Force may be partially to blame for this current stance, according to Ramirez. However, not for obvious reasons. He commented:

“The air force and their exploitation of that type of technology made a mess of things, as when people see the triangular craft, and they’re not flying in space but in our atmosphere, it points to the fact that we know what the triangles are and we want people to think they’re seeing UFOs because then people won’t know exactly what they’re seeing.”

Some speculated that Ramirez suggests that the USAF may be responsible for sightings of triangular aircraft, which some have dubbed the TR3B. On the Joe Rogan Experience, Tom Delonge implied that the United States government owned such vessels, but also said that some of them belonged to other intelligence. Delonge claimed that triangle-shaped craft, assuming they contain tail fins, symbolize human technology.

According to a member of the US House of Representatives Tim Burchett, it may all have started after the government recovered crashed alien vehicles. During an interview for On Balance With Leland Vittert, Burchett was asked about the Navy’s possession of more videos of UFOs that it is not willing to release to the public for reasons of National Security.

If anti-gravitic crafts exist, then potentially, such technology will be disclosed throughout the disclosure process. Former senator Harry Reid has already asserted that Lockheed Martin may have UFO materials, thus perhaps technology does exist. According to Lue Elizondo, the disclosure procedure and potential international collaboration (including with China) may lead to amazing technological advancements. (Source)

Ross Coulthart, an investigative journalist, in his tweet shared a link to a YouTube video (which is now private), stating John Ramirez tells IUFOC the agency’s weird desk investigations into UAP never stopped from the 1940s. “These are ongoing programs from the very beginning. They are still there.” It’s “more than” just the Pentagon’s AAWSAP-AATIP. Check the below Twitter thread to understand the context Coulthart is trying to explain.

“There for them to ask me questions. But it was very clear to me that AATIP was not the first of its kind effort. There was an organized effort back in the 80s to do exactly this as well. Now how far they got, I don’t know because what was told to me, verbatim,” Elizondo said.

Ramirez also experienced what might be considered alien abduction-type experiences, including being placed on an examination table in a circular craft. Interestingly, a number of his counterparts in the CIA and NSA also had UFO experiences, he revealed. In his job related to missile defense, he became aware of times when Russian radar would detect unusual craft, and in one instance, he said they tried to lure a UAP into landing.

Ramirez noted that CIA historian Gerald Haines wrote about the agency’s study of UFOs from 1947 through the 1990s, for a division that was initially called the Office of Scientific Intelligence. What was particularly intriguing to Ramirez is that the division had life sciences and medical people on staff, indicating possible interest in alien bodies.

He also described how an Air Force pilot on the plane that flew near Kamchatka to monitor Russian tests observed a massive “milky white wall” of light flying toward him at 6,200 mph, though the Air Force assumed it was some kind of countermeasure by the Russians. Regarding the military sightings of “trans-medium” UAP like the Tic Tacs, Ramirez said he does not believe that Russia or any other foreign country has the capabilities to produce this kind of antigravity technology.

Elizondo made these points in several interviews, but in this one, he was asked to elaborate on his comments about how our senses are reductive and limit our reality, and how this might be relevant to the phenomenon.

In his interview with Project Unity, Ramirez opined that Humans are hybrids. According to him, Elizondo is unable to use the word “hybridization,” but the Pentagon employees are counting on him to do so eventually. Elizondo discussed the possibility that non-human intelligence have been in contact with humans for a very long time on the Theories of Everything podcast. This would imply that we have all forgotten about our own past, which would hide the possibility that we are hybrids of humans and extraterrestrials.

Something is coming in 2027

On Podcast UFO with Martin Wills, Ramirez claimed that government is aware of an impending event in 2027 which will reveal something quite significant so people are being prepared. He has been stating that there is a presence on Earth (which he refers demonic) who are just projecting their own belief systems to make us disbelieve in what we believe. Wills asked Ramirez what would happen if there was mass Landing? would we just simply prepare for a conflict or would we actually initiate something? (Source)

Former CIA replied:

“I think the dialogue we have now in this country, even with the recent legislation that passed through the legislature and is on its way up to the president’s desk, is preparing the U.S population, and by extension the world population, for the reality that there is a presence here that we need to explain. If they show up and we continue to do what we did before in previous decades, there will be mass panic. However, if we understand that these are real and we have five years from 2022, or maybe now four years, if they come in 2027, for the US government to prepare the people about what is up there.

In many ways, I think the word got out within the government that they’re showing up in 2027, and we better be prepared. If not, there’s going to be a lot of explaining to do. So, I think that dialogue has happened within certain areas inside the government, that we need to prepare.

That’s why in 2017, that set a clock of 10 years, and why Lou Elizondo earlier in this year said, “Just find a hobby for five years, and it’ll all be out in five years,” and he said that this year, so that was 2027. I’ve heard 2027 in an official capacity, and I can’t reveal, so I would say that people in the government are aware of something happening, and there’s limited time, a few more years to prepare the people. That’s what’s wrapping up this acceleration from the previous seven decades of not even acknowledging it to now acknowledging it at a faster and faster pace.”

A Day on Earth Used to Only Be 19 Hours

In past decades, geologists examined a special type of sedimentary rock that contains preserved layers from tidal mud flats. By counting the number of sedimentary layers caused by tidal fluctuations, they could determine the number of hours per day during previous geological periods. But such records are rare, and those examined were often disputed regarding their age. However, there is another method for estimating day length known as Cyclostratigraphy, which Mitchell and Kircher employed for their study.

This geologic method examines rhythmic sedimentary layering to detect Milankovitch cycles, which describe how changes in the eccentricity and obliquity of Earth’s orbit affect its climate over time. In recent years, there has been a proliferation in the number of Milankovitch records that deal with the ancient past. In fact, over half the data concerning ancient geological periods has been obtained in just the past seven years. This allowed Mitchell and Kircher to test a previously-unproven theory. As Kirscher explained in a recent CAS press release:

“Two Milankovitch cycles, precession and obliquity, are related to the wobble and tilt of Earth’s rotation axis in space. The faster rotation of early Earth can therefore be detected in shorter precession and obliquity cycles in the past. Because of this, if in the past these two opposite forces were to have become equal to each other, such a tidal resonance would have caused Earth’s day length to stop changing and to have remained constant for some time.”

In short, this theory posits that day length may have remained at a constant value in the past for extended periods of time rather than gradually growing longer. A key factor in this is “solar atmospheric tides,” where the “push” of charged solar particles from the Sun (aka. solar wind) is related to the heating of our atmosphere during the daytime. This is similar to how lunar tides, caused by the “pull” of the Moon’s gravity, are related to the rise and fall of ocean levels. But whereas the Moon’s gravity has slowly slowed Earth’s rotation down, the Sun was responsible for speeding it up.

While solar tides are not as strong as their lunar counterpart today, this may not have always been the case. When Earth was rotating faster in the past, the influence of the Moon’s gravitational pull would have been much weaker. When Mitchell and Kirscher examined the data compilation, they noted that between two to one billion years ago, Earth’s day length appears to have stopped its long-term increase and stopped at about 19 hours. According to Mitchell, this period is alternately known as “the billion years” or the “boring billion.”

What is especially intriguing about the new result is how the “boring billion” occurred between the two largest rises in oxygen content in our atmosphere. These were the Great Oxidation Event, where photosynthetic bacteria dramatically increased the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, and the Cryogenian period (aka. “Snowball Earth”) – a glacial period where the entire surface (or close to it) was covered in ice. If confirmed, these results indicate that the evolution of Earth’s rotation is related to the composition of its atmosphere.

The study also supports the idea that longer days were needed before photosynthetic bacteria could produce enough oxygen to reach modern atmospheric levels (24%). However, this study’s main implication is how it alters astronomers perceptions of Earth’s rotation in the past (or “paleorotation”). For a long time, it has been theorized that the Moon gradually absorbed Earth’s rotational energy, slowing the planet down, boosting the Moon into a higher orbit, and creating a 24-hour day. But these results indicate there was a break in that process between 2 billion and 1 billion years ago. As Kirscher summarized:

“Most models of Earth’s rotation predict that day length was consistently shorter and shorter going back in time. Two Milankovitch cycles, precession, and obliquity, are related to the wobble and tilt of Earth’s rotation axis in space. The faster rotation of early Earth can therefore be detected in shorter precession and obliquity cycles in the past.”

Two day ago, Dr. Steven Greer held a stunning UFO disclosure press event at Washington's D.C. press club. Led by renowned researchers, members of the military, defense contractors and former government officials, this conference revealed shocking testimony about the secrets of an Antarctica station, the secret space program, reverse engineered alien craft, and massive crimes and cover up. 

Speakers: 

Michael Herrera former US Marine who witnessed a (deep state) UFO in Indonesia See our article, dated: June 6, 2023 - Former Marine witnessed UFO being loaded with weapons by unmarked US forces in Indonesie 

Steven Digma former US Army who witnessed a UFO he was not supposed to see that left him brain damaged as a result of an explosion and microwave pulse coming from the UFO. 

Eric Hecker, Raytheon contractor worked at the Ice Cube Neutrino observatory at Antarctica from 2010-2011. The observatory constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. 

Scientists bored 86 holes in the ice. Each hole is almost 2.5 kilometers deep and about 60 centimeters wide and contains 60 basketball-sized sensors, what they call DOMS. Totally there are 5160 sensors embedded in the ice which actually can transmit 2470 volt each. 

The station do what they say, it is designed to look for point sources of neutrinos in the teraelectronvolt (TeV) range to explore the highest-energy astrophysical processes... but it does much more... 

Eric Hecker states that this Antarctica station is a huge air traffic control power station that monitors all interstellar craft that be operated by humans as well as non-humans. 

Besides, he says that the thousands of sensors located under the Antarctic ice, distributed over a cubic kilometer is effectively a direct energy weapon platform. 

And according to Eric it also is used for faster than light communications for example to and from the secret space fleet, discovered by Gary McKinnon in 2002 by hacking United States military and NASA computers. 

Eric also witnessed a powerful green laser on top of this facility beaming into the cosmos; he believes this is a secondary form of long range communications or defense system. 

It should come as no surprise that Google Earth has covered the area in the center of Antarctica where the Ice Cube Neutrino observatory is located. 

Like Steven Greer said: The biggest secret is not the extraterrestrial issue, it is the technology developed by the deep state through the capture and reverse engineering of alien craft over the years (The secret retrieval UFO program) and the use of this technology which is a threat to the national security. The deep state (cabal) is all running this, they are running all these UAPs and more including the secret space program. 

The deep state is happy to take billions of your tax money, not only to fund their black (UFO/UAP) projects, but also to scare you into believing the aliens are a threat, eventually allowing them to launch a false flag alien invasion, with the aim of establishing a world government. 

In the video below redacted host Clayton Morris walks us through the highlights of the UFO event including the live testimonies from the several speakers. (Watch the first 35 minutes of the video.)

700,000-Year-Old Tools Found in Greece Rewrite History

The rich historical tapestry of Greece has been dramatically expanded with the recent discovery of hunting tools dating back an astonishing 700,000 years. Unearthed in a coal mine in Megalopolis, these ancient stone tools have not only pushed back Greece's historical timeline by a staggering quarter of a million years but have also opened a window into the development of our ancient hominin ancestors before their migration to northern Europe.

Megalopolis: Where Time Began

The ancient Greek city of Megalopolis was located in Arcadia, a region in the central Peloponnese peninsula of Greece. The original settlement was founded in 371 BC by the Theban general Epaminondas, during the Peloponnesian War, to counter the power of Sparta and to support the independence of the smaller Greek city-states.

Megalopolis shares the same sun-battered landscapes as Olympia, Mycenae and Pylos, each of which feature centrally in Greek mythology. Olympia, the home of the Olympic Games, housed the chief sacred site of the god Zeus, and Mycenae was the city of the legendary King Agamemnon who led the Greeks during the Trojan War. Pylos, was a centre of the Mycenaean civilization most famously ruled by King Nestor, and it featured in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

But now, the recent discovery of very ancient stone tools in a coal mine are shadowing the nation's semi-mythological history, by revealing valuable secrets about the development of our ancient hominin ancestors, before they populated northern Europe.

A Game Changing Discovery

According to a report in Greek City Times the latest archaeological discoveries in Megalopolis are “game-changing.” In the oldest-known archaeological site in Greece, dating back approximately 700,000 years, not only did the archaeologists recover the remains of now extinct giant deer, elephants, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, and a macaque monkey, but they also found stone tools from the Lower Palaeolithic period (3.3 million to 300,000 years old).

Used for butchering animals and chopping plants approximately 700,000 years ago, the still sharp stone flakes are suspected to have been manufactured by a Lower Palaeolithic Homo antecessor, considered a possible ancestor of both Neanderthals and modern humans. While this is yet to be confirmed, if hominin remains are discovered, the find pushes back Greece’s official archaeological record by up to 250,000 years.

Until now, the oldest tools in Greece date back to around 500,000 years ago, and were discovered in the Petralona Cave, in the Chalkidiki region of northern Greece. These stone tools were unearthed alongside the fossilized remains of an ancient human skull, known as the Petralona Skull , and such a discovery would need to be made at the Megalopolis site to definitely date the new discoveries.

Pushing Back Archaeological Timelines

These new finds come after a 5-year-long project led by Professor Panagiotis Karkanas of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens , Eleni Panagopoulou from the Greek Ministry of Culture and Katerina Harvati, a professor of paleoanthropology at the University of Tübingen in Germany .

An article in Breaking News said these “groundbreaking discoveries surpass any previously known archaeological record in Greece.” And, if the dating is confirmed, what these finds demand, effectively, is a rewriting of Greek archaeology with a new starting point at around 700,000 years ago.

A Second Stunning Discovery

In addition to this main discovery, the team of archaeologists explored a second site in the Megalopolis area where they found “the oldest Middle Palaeolithic remains ever found in Greece, dating back approximately 280,000 years.” In conclusion, the researchers said of this second discovery, that it suggests Greece played a significant role in stone industry developments throughout ancient Europe, “solidifying its position as a pivotal hub of ancient civilisation.” Furthermore, the researchers said this discovery further illustrates what is known about “hominin migrations to Europe and human evolution as a whole.”

Megalopolis declined in importance following the rise of Macedon under Philip II and his son, Alexander the Great, and it finally lost its prominence during the Roman era, after which it faded into obscurity. Today, the ancient ruins of Megalopolis can still be visited, but these new archaeological discoveries extend well beyond the ancient city's history and architecture, providing new insights into Greece’s ancient past.

Military contractor Raytheon Technologies has announced the delivery of a fully portable, combat-ready laser to the United States Air Force. This marks the fourth such delivery by Raytheon to the Air Force, with the latest laser said to be fully portable and immediately ready for deployment.

“The new palletized laser weapon was the first 10-kilowatt laser built to U.S. military specifications in a stand-alone configuration that can be moved and mounted anywhere it’s needed,” explains a press release sent out by the company.

Known internally as “H4,” the combat-ready laser is not only the fourth such weapon delivered by Raytheon to the Air Force but is the eighth overall such weapon that Raytheon has delivered to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).

The Debrief has previously covered a number of similar combat laser weapons under development, including the company’s High Energy Laser Weapons System (HELWS) as well an entry from Lochheed-Martin dubbed the most powerful combat laser ever built. But this newest combat laser is the first to boast a readiness for immediate deployment alongside unprecedented portability. This means it can be attached to a wide range of vehicles used in combat situations and put into real-world combat use right away.

Such versatility and readiness are significant since the 21st-century battlefield is continually changing with all kinds of new threats. Of course, the new laser, which is rated at 10 kW, isn’t the most powerful, but it is well-suited to protect forward forces against asymmetrical attacks primarily from the rapidly expanding use of low-cost drones.

“Anywhere the Air Force sees a threat from drones, they now have four proven laser weapons that can be deployed to stop asymmetrical threats,” said Michael Hofle, senior director of High-Energy Lasers at Raytheon Technologies. “Whether it’s on a fixed location, a flatbed, or even a pickup, these laser weapons are compact, rugged, and ready to go.”

“We’re proud to support the Air Force’s effort to provide this new tech to the personnel who need it in the field,” added Hofle, “who can trust and be confident in the system’s capabilities.”

The press release also points out that the new laser weapon system “comprises a high-energy laser weapon module, a long-range EO/IR sensor that also serves as the beam director, thermal control, internal electrical power, and targeting software.”

That same release notes that the laser system can be operated with a laptop and a video game-style controller and “can plug into a long list of existing air defense and command and control systems to provide a needed layer of defense.”

The DOD is increasingly looking at combat lasers and other directed energy weapons like the microwave system known simply as “Thor’s Hammer” to address a number of emerging threats. The more powerful combat laser weapons under development range anywhere from 100 kW to 300 kW and are potentially capable of downing incoming missiles and possibly even enemy aircraft. But the most common threat posed to forces is the ever-expanding use of drones, simply because of their low cost and ease of use.

There is also an inherent cost benefit to using lasers over conventional munitions, which is the only current option for downing incoming aerial threats, as their ammunition is simply light and, therefore, significantly cheaper than conventional ammunition.

This cost-benefit was highlighted by the Israeli Ministry of Defense, which has deployed a laser system known as Iron Beam to complement its Iron Dome system that uses conventional rockets to down enemy drones, mortars, and missiles.

Ongeziene hittegolf in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan baart wetenschappers zorgen

Er worden recordhoge temperaturen gemeten in het noorden van de Atlantische Oceaan. Nog nooit zagen wetenschappers zo hoge oppervlaktetemperaturen, en dat al drie maanden lang. Momenteel is de gemiddelde temperatuur 22,7°C. Dat is maar liefst 0,5°C boven het vorige record uit 2010. Wetenschappers maken zich dan ook ernstig zorgen.

Lander Van Tricht 

Het eerste record dit jaar werd gebroken op 5 maart. De gemiddelde temperatuur van de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan steeg toen tot 19,9°C. Sindsdien liggen de temperaturen steevast op recordniveau. Op 11 juni bereikten de temperaturen een voorlopig hoogtepunt van 22,7°C. Het is dan ook niet verwonderlijk dat de wetenschap vol verbazing en ongerust naar deze ontwikkelingen kijkt.

Sinds 5 maart 2023 wordt er elke dag een nieuw record gevestigd in het noorden van de Atlantische Oceaan  © Climate Change Institute - University of Maine

Verschillende factoren spelen een rol in waarom de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan met uitzonderlijk hoge temperaturen kampt. Allereerst zijn de zogenaamde passaatwinden sinds maart zwakker dan normaal. Deze winden waaien vanuit het oosten tot noordoosten en brengen kouder water naar het oppervlak in de oostelijke delen van de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan. Hierdoor koelt het water af. Dat gebeurt nu minder, waardoor de oceaantemperaturen stijgen.

Daarnaast is er in 2023 tot nu toe een gebrek aan Sahara-stof, dat doorgaans een verkoelend effect heeft op het noordelijke deel van de Atlantische Oceaan. Normaal gesproken worden grote wolken van dit stof vanuit de woestijnen van Noord-Afrika over de oceaan geblazen, maar dit jaar is de concentratie opvallend laag, zelfs op recordniveaus voor juni. Onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat het stof een aanzienlijke verkoeling veroorzaakt, vooral rond deze tijd van het jaar.

Een wereldwijde stijging is aan de gang

De ongewone temperaturen in de Atlantische Oceaan maken deel uit van een patroon van bovengemiddelde oppervlaktetemperaturen in alle oceanen wereldwijd. Momenteel bedraagt de gemiddelde oppervlaktetemperatuur wereldwijd 20,9°C. Dat is minder hoog dan de 21,1°C van 1 april, maar nog steeds 0,2°C hoger dan het vorige record uit 2022.

Momenteel ligt de gemiddelde oppervlaktetemperatuur wereldwijd 0,2°C hoger dan het vorige record.  © Climate Change Institute - University of Maine

Deze ongeziene temperaturen zijn het resultaat van een combinatie van factoren die verband houden met El Niño en de buitengewoon hoge temperaturen in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan. Naast deze factoren draagt klimaatverandering bij aan de langdurige opwarming van het zeewater. Ook hebben nieuwe scheepvaartregels de uitstoot van zwavel drastisch verminderd, waardoor het verkoelende effect van sulfaataerosolen afneemt.

Wat zijn de gevolgen van deze hittegolf in onze oceanen en zal dit aanhouden?

Het hoge temperatuurniveau in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan heeft een belangrijke gevolg voor subtropische stormen. Warmere oceanen leveren meer energie voor tropische systemen en kunnen sterkere stormen veroorzaken als andere factoren dat toelaten. Eerdere jaren met een warm oostelijk Atlantisch gebied (2010, 2017, 2020…) vertoonden bijvoorbeeld zeer actieve orkaanseizoenen. Al zal dit niet noodzakelijk nu het geval zijn dankzij een sterke El Niño. Historisch gezien verlaagt dit weerfenomeen net de kans op zware orkaanseizoenen in de Atlantische Oceaan.

Dit betekent dat er waarschijnlijk minder tropische stormen zullen zijn en zwakkere systemen. Hoewel de Atlantische Oceaan recordwarmte ervaart, voorspellen experts van instellingen zoals NOAA, dat dit jaar daardoor eerder gemiddeld zal zijn. Er is echter meer onzekerheid in de voorspellingen voor dit jaar.

Wereldwijd zien wetenschappers warmere oceanen.  © Climate Change Institute - University of Maine

De weermodellen suggereren dat de atmosferische respons op de ontwikkelende El Niño in het oosten van de Stille Oceaan zich begint te vormen. Hierdoor krijgen we misschien opnieuw een meer gebruikelijke luchtdrukverdeling en positie van de subtropische straalstroom. Dit kan op zijn beurt leiden tot een afname van de afwijkingen in de zeewatertemperaturen in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan. Al blijft het voorlopig afwachten. Wetenschappers houden dit in ieder geval nauwlettend in de gaten.

The Mysterious Las Vegas UFO Incident: “100 percent not human”

On a quiet night at the end of April 2023, an unexpected phenomenon sent ripples through the stillness of Las Vegas, resulting in a thrilling narrative of UFO sightings and reported extraterrestrial encounters that has caught the attention of people across the globe. A series of unusual events unfurled, with witnesses and official recordings contributing to a story that feels more like an enthralling science fiction narrative than a regular news report.

In the late evening hours of April 30, a police officer’s body camera recorded a peculiar, glowing green light streaking across the Nevada sky. This sighting wasn’t an isolated incident – at least 21 people from various locations, including California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, reported witnessing the same mysterious light, according to the American Meteor Society.

Just around midnight on May 1, the extraordinary tale took an even stranger turn. A local resident, working on his car in his backyard, claimed to have experienced an event that shook him to his core. He described seeing a bright light falling from the sky, accompanied by a loud impact and a shockwave that temporarily blurred his surroundings. He recounted hearing what sounded like thousands of footsteps that abruptly ceased.

But that wasn’t the climax of his harrowing encounter. The man reported seeing large, non-human entities in his backyard. According to his 911 call, he described these beings as around 8 to 10 feet tall, with large, shiny eyes, and big mouths – an image that couldn’t be anything but alien to him.

Las Vegas police took the matter seriously, promptly responding to the 911 call. The responding officer’s bodycam footage corroborated the witness’s account, even capturing a potential physical evidence – a perfect circle in the man’s backyard, possibly left by the crashed unidentified object.

As news of the incident spread, it gained the attention of George Knapp, a renowned journalist known for covering UFO-related stories. After several conversations with the involved family, Knapp stated that he didn’t sense any hoax or mischief at play. However, he admitted that the exact nature of the incident remains unclear, creating an intriguing puzzle that is yet to be solved.

Further fueling the suspense, Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the Pentagon’s newly formed All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), gave recommendations at a recent NASA meeting about UFOs, indicating the government’s increased interest in such inexplicable occurrences.

Despite the hard evidence, conjecture, and compelling narratives, authorities are still uncertain about what precisely occurred in Las Vegas that night. Nonetheless, the witness stands firm by his account, even as skeptics question his story.

This riveting tale of potential extraterrestrial encounters reminds us of the vastness of the universe and the unanswered questions it holds. Regardless of the nature of the Las Vegas incident, it has undeniably captured public fascination, adding another chapter to the unending saga of humanity’s quest for answers about our place in the cosmos.

FULL 1 hour interview with UFO whistleblower David Grusch

In a riveting revelation, former U.S. Air Force officer and Pentagon insider David Grusch has come forward with unsettling claims concerning the U.S. government’s secretive involvement with unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the beings piloting them. During an engrossing hour-long interview with journalist Ross Coulthart, Grusch blew the whistle on a top-secret U.S. program that he alleges has been investigating, retrieving, and concealing evidence of alien contact for decades.

Grusch, a decorated Afghanistan war veteran with 14 years of service in the U.S. Air Force, claims to have been privy to this confidential information through his association with others involved in the covert operation. Following his tenure with the Air Force, Grusch’s professional journey led him to roles within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), both of which would further deepen his immersion into the classified world of UFO intelligence.

In his role with the NRO, Grusch was actively engaged with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force, a unit established to investigate the growing number of UFO sightings. It was here that he reportedly became privy to some of the U.S. government’s most tightly guarded secrets.

• US Senate UFO Hearing: The AARO Takes Center Stag

At the heart of Grusch’s allegations lies the contentious claim that extraterrestrial entities, far from being benign or indifferent to humanity, have demonstrated malevolent intent during their visits to Earth, even going as far as causing human fatalities.

Grusch went on to say, “I think the logical fallacy there is because they’re advanced, they’re kind. We’ll never really understand their full intent and that’s because we’re not them. But I think what appears to be malevolent activity has happened. That’s based on nuclear site probing activities and witness testimony.”

This perspective disrupts the conventional narrative that advanced alien civilizations would necessarily espouse a doctrine of pacifism or benevolence. In contrast, Grusch suggests we might be naively attributing our human notions of morality to species with potentially unfathomable motivations.

In addition to claiming that the U.S. government has been actively hiding its knowledge of these encounters, Grusch postulates that the nation is caught in a silent arms race with Russia and China. The objective? To gain a superior understanding of extraterrestrial technology and potentially harness its power.

According to Grusch, the U.S. government is willing to go to extraordinary lengths to safeguard these secrets, a fact he found particularly disturbing. Grusch states that even “white-collar crime” has been committed in the name of maintaining this secrecy.

Moreover, he alluded to UFO sightings involving crafts the size of football fields and other eyewitness accounts detailing encounters with aircraft capable of distorting space and time. In one such account, another military veteran alleges his six-man unit observed a UFO being loaded with weaponry while stationed in Indonesia.

Full interview below!

Grusch’s chilling narrative is the latest in a series of recent disclosures that have thrust the UFO debate back into the public spotlight. With the U.S. government’s gradual acknowledgment of UAPs, these revelations call for more transparency, increased scientific inquiry, and an end to decades of denial and disinformation.

While his accounts might shake our perceptions of our place in the universe, they could ultimately serve to foster a broader understanding of the reality that we may share this cosmos with other, more advanced civilizations. As we stand at this new frontier, it’s clear that the UFO phenomenon is not just about lights in the sky; it’s about who we are, what we might become, and how we coexist in an increasingly complex cosmic neighborhood.

Stephen Hawking's most famous prediction could mean that everything in the universe is doomed to evaporate, new study says

According to quantum field theory, there is no such thing as an empty vacuum. Space is instead teeming with tiny vibrations that, if imbued with enough energy, randomly burst into virtual particles, producing very-low-energy packets of light, or photons.

In a landmark paper published in 1974, Hawking famously predicted that the extreme gravitational force felt at the mouths of black holes — their event horizons — would summon photons into existence in this way. Gravity, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, distorts space-time, so that quantum fields get more warped the closer they get to the immense gravitational tug of a black hole's singularity.

Because of the uncertainty and weirdness of quantum mechanics, Hawking said this warping creates uneven pockets of differently moving time and subsequent spikes of energy across the field. These energy mismatches make photons appear in the contorted space around black holes, siphoning energy from the black hole's field so they can burst into existence. If the particles then escape the black hole, this energy theft led Hawking to conclude that — over a vast timescale much longer than the current age of the universe — black holes would eventually lose all of their energy and disappear completely.

But if a gravitational field is all that's needed to produce quantum fluctuations and photons, what's stopping any object with a space-time warping mass from creating Hawking radiation? Does Hawking radiation need the special condition of a black hole's event horizon, or can it be produced anywhere in space? To probe these questions, the authors of the new study analyzed Hawking radiation through the lens of a long-predicted process called the Schwinger effect, in which matter can theoretically be generated from the powerful distortions caused by an electromagnetic field.

Sure enough, by applying the framework of the Schwinger effect to Hawking's theory, the theoretical physicists produced a mathematical model that reproduced Hawking radiation in spaces experiencing a range of gravitational field strengths. According to their new theory, an event horizon isn't necessary for energy to slowly leak from a massive object in the form of light; the object's gravitational field is good enough on its own.

"We show that far beyond a black hole the curvature of space-time plays a big role in creating radiation," second author Walter van Suijlekom, a professor of mathematics at Radboud University, said in the statement. "The particles are already separated there [beyond the black hole] by the tidal forces of the gravitational field."

What the researchers' theory means in reality isn't clear. Possibly, as the matter that makes up stars, neutron stars, and planets ages, it will eventually undergo an energy transition into a completely new ultralow energy state. This might be enough to eventually collapse all matter into black holes, which could continue to slowly drip out light until they too disappear without a trace.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on any misgivings you may have about evaporating), all of this is just speculation awaiting confirmation. To figure out if it's a true prediction of our universe's eventual fate, physicists will need to spot some Hawking radiation being produced around gravitationally dense objects — both around black holes and planets, stars, or neutron stars. If everything is destined to disappear in a flash of cool light, there should be plenty of places to look.

Ex-Defence Minister: E.T.s From Andromeda & Saturn’s Moon Visiting Earth For Thousands Of Years

There are already dozens of claims in favor of extraterrestrial visitation. Today, numerous astronauts and government officials support the UAP phenomena, and some are highly positive that they could have an alien origin. The Honorable Paul Hellyer (1923-2021), former Canadian Minister of Defense said extraterrestrials have been visiting our planet for thousands of years and it is likely that at least two of them are working with the U.S. government and sharing their highly-advanced technologies with humans.

In the 1960s, Paul Hellyer, a high-ranking official during the Cold War, asserted that he had discovered with certainty about the existence of aliens while serving in the military. He said that people from other worlds had been coming to Earth for a very long time. He insisted that a lot of the stuff that makes up our high-tech gadgetry had been gifted to us by overly-advanced ETs.

Hellyer had long expressed his views on extraterrestrials in public. He testified at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in May 2013 in Washington, DC. Five former members of U.S. Congress and one former U.S. senator listened to more than thirty hours of testimony from government officials, military personnel, researchers, and witnesses.

Huffington Post Canada described that, as part of his testimony, Hellyer stated that “aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government.” More specifically, Hellyer announced that at least four species of extraterrestrials had been visiting Earth for thousands of years. According to Huffington Post Canada, he also stated that some extraterrestrials originate from the “Zeta Reticuli, the Pleiades, Orion, Andromeda, and Altair star systems” and “may have different agendas.”

He first spoke openly about his belief governments are covering up an alien presence back in 2005, saying UFOs are as plentiful in our sky as airplanes. “Much of the media won’t touch it, so you just have to keep working away at it and we will get a critical mass and one day they will say Mr. President or Mr. Prime Minister, we want the truth and we want it now because it affects our lives.”

In 2013, Hellyer appeared on the RT interview show SophieCo with Sophie Shevardnadze to discuss extraterrestrials and UFOs. Shevardnadze asked Hellyer, “Why do you say that UFOs are as real as airplanes flying over our heads?” Hellyer replied, “Because I know that they are. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years.” He further stated military action had brought down UFOs, and humans had adapted alien technology for use on Earth.

He said: “As far as technology is concerned, they are light years ahead of us, and we have learned a lot of things from them. A lot of the things we use today we got from them, you know – led lights and microchips and Kevlar vests and all sorts things that we got from their technology and we could get a lot more too, especially in the fields of medicine and agriculture if we would go about it peacefully. But, I think, maybe some of our people are more interested in getting the military technology, and I think that’s wrong-headed, and that’s one of the things that we are going to have to change, because we’re going to have to work together, all of us, everywhere on the planet.”

Shevardnadze asked: “Have you ever had your own encounter with aliens?” Hellyer replied: “Not encounter with aliens, no. I’ve seen a UFO, about 120 miles north of Toronto, over Lake Muskoka, where I have a cottage. Two years ago, at Thanksgiving, which is October, [my wife?] said that she wanted to go out and look at the stars, so… I’m not much of a night man… but I put on my cap and went out with her and she looked into the eastern sky and said, ‘There’s a star,’ and I turned the other way and said, ‘Oh, there’s a much brighter one over here,’ and she looked there and we watched it until our necks almost broke for about 20 minutes, and it was definitely a UFO because it could change position in the sky by three or four degrees in three or four seconds.”

Shevardnadze further asked Hellyer if shooting down those UFOs was risking an interstellar war, and, if so, “should we be creating a Star Wars force to defend ourselves from possible invasion or something like that?”

Hellyer said: “I think it’s a possibility, but it’s a possibility especially if we shoot down every UFO that comes into our airspace without asking who they are and what they want. Right from the beginning, we started scrambling planes, trying to shoot them down, but their technology was superior enough that we weren’t able to get away with it, certainly not for a long while.”

He continued: “During that period of time they could have taken us over without any trouble if they wanted to, so I think, rather than developing our own Star Wars to protect ourselves against them, we should work with the benign species that are of a vast majority and work together, and rely largely on them, of course, and cooperate, so that we would be contributing something at the same time; I don’t think there’s any point in us developing a galactic force that would tempt us to ride on our own and get into mischief, which is one of the things that some of them are concerned about.”

On countering physicist Stephen Hawking’s assertion that any alien visitors to Earth would likely be malevolent, Hellyer argued that not only have aliens already visited Earth but that they have helped contribute to humanity’s technological progress. He said earthlings owe a lot to their alien friends. “Even that computer screen on your desk,” he said, “can trace its origins to spaceships. Microchips, for example, fiber-optics, they are just two of the many things that allegedly — and probably for real — came from crashed vehicles,” Hellyer added. (Source)

Hellyer was not the only one speaking of a partnership between humans and extraterrestrial intelligence. The former head of the Israeli space security program and retired general Haim Eshed also claimed that a sort of agreement had been made between aliens and the US government to keep silent on their experiments on Earth and secret bases on Mars.

Mr. Eshed said that aliens and “Galactic federation” do exist and have been working with the US and the Israel government for years, but they keep it a secret to avoid mass hysteria. According to him, President Trump was aware of it and has already been in contact with space aliens. He further said that the aliens have been waiting for humans to evolve and reach a certain stage to actually understand space and spaceships. Besides, they signed a contract with humans to do experiments on Earth and also research with them to learn the fabric of the universe.

Two English Companies are Cooperating to Bring a Novel Antenna Architecture To Space

They’re also no strange to actual spaceflight, with several of their helical antennas already making it onto various missions launched by Lacuna, another satellites manufacturer that lies down the road in Harwell, UK, and specializes in providing sensor technologies. However, they have yet to find a mission willing to support some of their more advanced antennas, including their “wrapped rib” antenna.

That design resembles a traditional satellite dish, but its real magic is in its packaging and deployment. It’s difficult to store a fully-fledged dish in a rocket fairing, so OSS designed its antenna to deploy once it reaches space. It’s made of a type of mesh highly reflective to RF signals but looks almost transparent at some angles and is supported by a series of “ribs” that expand out from a central point. 

They’ve completed a series of thorough tests on the antenna and its deployment system on the ground in the UK so far. But now it is time to get it into space to prove that “flight heritage” coveted by space industry companies. So they needed another partner willing to adopt this new technology, and they found one that was – not quite – just down the road again.

Surrey, where SSTL is located, is about an hour’s drive from Harwell down the M4 motorway and has become quite the hub for satellite system development in recent years. SSTL is just one of several companies working in that space in the town, though they specialize in a technology that is particularly interesting to the defense industry.

Synthetic Aperture Radar, or SAR, is a relatively modern take on radar that can create 3D images of objects as a satellite passes over them. SSTL has a lineage of creating satellites that are exceptional at doing so and have previously provided spy satellites for British intelligence services, among others.

One of their upcoming technology demonstration projects is CarbSAR, a 140kg SAR satellite that will orbit around 520km up and provide data back to its ground station at 500MBps. SSTL decided to go with OSS as its antenna provider for CarbSAR as a way of proving that their satellite platforms can be integrated with equipment from other suppliers – a good characteristic to have if your company doesn’t want to be reliant on a single source supplier for a critical component that could go bankrupt at any time.

Both companies don’t seem to be near bankruptcy and are hiring more staff as they scale up their operations. There’s no firm date for when CarbSAR will launch yet, but when it does, it will hopefully add another feather in the cap to both English companies as they continue on their mission to build better satellites.
