This UFO was caught by an eyewitness yesterday that saw this tic-tac white UFO moving across the sky. He said he has seen such things before over the area. This craft has no wings, no contrail, no windows, lights or color other than the white cigar shaped craft itself. Just a fantastic catch, and proof that UAPs are over Ireland. I wonder....if there is a link to old Irish stories about little green men...otherwise known as leprechauns. It all makes sense now.

Unveiling the Mystery: Eisenhower’s Alleged Extraterrestrial Encounter

In the annals of American presidential history, few stories spark as much intrigue and debate as the alleged encounter between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and extraterrestrial beings. This extraordinary claim, emerging from the depths of Cold War secrecy and UFO lore, proposes a clandestine meeting that, if true, could profoundly alter our understanding of human history and our place in the cosmos.

The Disappearance That Sparked a Thousand Theories

The tale begins on a seemingly ordinary night in February 1954. President Eisenhower, taking a winter vacation in Palm Springs, California, reportedly vanished. The official statement claimed he was urgently whisked away due to a dental emergency. However, this explanation didn’t satisfy everyone, leading to rampant speculation.

A Meeting of Worlds?

The most sensational of these theories posits that Eisenhower didn’t visit a dentist but instead attended a secret rendezvous with aliens at Edwards Air Force Base. According to various accounts, these beings offered Eisenhower advanced technology in exchange for the cessation of nuclear weapons testing — a proposal Eisenhower allegedly declined, fearing the Soviets wouldn’t adhere to such an agreement.

Skepticism and Secrecy

While this narrative is compelling, it’s met with skepticism. No concrete evidence has emerged to confirm such an encounter. Critics argue that the story is a blend of Cold War paranoia, the era’s fascination with science fiction, and the secrecy surrounding UFO phenomena.

The Legacy of Unexplained Aerial Phenomena

Despite the skepticism, the Eisenhower alien encounter theory feeds into a larger narrative about UFOs and their potential links to high-level government knowledge. The U.S. government’s historical stance on UFOs has been one of dismissal or downplaying. However, recent shifts, including congressional hearings and official reports, signal a growing willingness to discuss and investigate these unexplained phenomena.

The question of whether Eisenhower met with extraterrestrials remains unanswered. This enigmatic episode serves as a fascinating reflection of the human desire to explore the unknown and ponder our place in the vast universe. As we continue to witness a gradual shift from fringe conspiracy theories to mainstream scientific inquiry, the story of Eisenhower’s alleged extraterrestrial meeting endures, a compelling chapter in the ongoing saga of humanity’s quest to understand the mysteries of the skies.

Asteroid or supervolcano? New study says dinosaurs were wiped out by BOTH

• 'Volcanic winters' weakened the dinosaurs for 200,000 years prior to extinction
• 'The final blow,' researchers said, was likely given by Chicxulub meteor impact
• READ MORE: T.Rex had the same number of brain neurons as modern primates and may have been capable of problem-solving and even culture, study claims

By MATTHEW PHELAN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Repeated 'volcanic winters' may have left the dinosaurs hungry, shivering and vulnerable to a fatal 'final blow' by the asteroid that ultimately did them in. 

At least, an international team of researchers from Italy, Norway, Canada and the US has reached that conclusion in a new study, which analyzed sulfur and fluorine gases trapped in ancient volcanic rocks from the infamous Deccan Traps supervolcano.

This sulfur and fluorine — belched out by the Deccan Traps over 200,000 years before the extinction-level event — would have dropped global temperatures by as much as 18 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), their new study determined.

The findings add further clarity to the raging debate between paleontologists and other scientists over what actually drove the dinosaurs to extinction.

Their work aligns itself with a compromise theory: the 'press-pulse extinction model.'

Repeated 'volcanic winters' may have left the dinosaurs hungry, shivering and vulnerable to a fatal 'final blow' by the asteroid that ultimately did them in, according to a new study 

An international team of researchers from Italy, Norway, Canada and the US analyzed sulfur and fluorine gases trapped in layers of ancient volcanic rocks (labelled above right) from India's Deccan Traps supervolcano. The volcanic gases likely led to temperature drops globally

'Our research demonstrates that climatic conditions were almost certainly unstable,' said study co-author and geologist Don Baker, 'with repeated volcanic winters that could have lasted decades, prior to the extinction of the dinosaurs.' 

'Our work helps explain this significant extinction event that led to the rise of mammals and the evolution of our species,' according to Baker, who teaches at Canada's McGill University in Montreal.

The group analyzed trapped sulfur and fluorine compounds in samples taken from the Deccan Traps 'lava pile' in India's Western Ghats mountain range, near Bombay. 

The compounds' minute concentrations, measured in parts-per-million, were determined via synchrotron radiation x‐ray fluorescence spectrometry — which bombards samples with magnetized corkscrews of radiation and then records how that radiation bounces and scatters back.

Some of the 'volcanic winters,' according to  study co-author, geologist Don Baker, 'could have lasted decades' each, prior to the meteor that led to the dinosaurs' extinction

Baker drew a cooking analogy to explain the process of calculating atmospheric sulfur and fluorine volume from the small percentages held within these lava rocks. 

'Imagine making pasta at home. You boil the water, add salt, and then the pasta,' Baker began in a statement.

'Some of the salt from the water goes into the pasta,' he said, 'but not much of it.'

Baker and his team worked with similar known ratios to estimate how much sulfur and fluorine gas compounds had flooded into Earth's atmosphere during the Cretaceous period. 

A steady drop in temperature during the late Cretaceous period, as estimated by past paleoclimate studies, happened to track with higher concentrations of the Sulfur compounds in several layers of ancient lava from the Deccan Traps: layers known as the Thakurvadi through Bushe rock formations. 

Sulfur content was found to be as high as 1,800 parts-per-million in these layers.  

By the researchers' calculations, that would indicate that a volume of sulfur gas somewhere between 86,000 and 466,000 cubic-kilometers in size erupted into the prehistoric atmosphere.

When it came to the fluorine gasses, Baker and his colleagues do not believe it contributed to major climate change, but that its concentrations had other, more local, toxic effects.

'There is historical evidence for local impacts of fluorine degassing,' they wrote in their study, published in the journal Science Advances, 'as readily deposited from the volcanic haze.'

Huge regions of western India were carved and grooved by the lava flows of the Deccan Traps supervolcano over 66 million years ago. Above, a SkySat satellite image of the Deccan Traps taken in March of 2018 over Maharashtrain in India

The 'the final blow' in the researchers' view was almost assuredly the well-known Chicxulub impact, when a carbon-rich asteroid crashed into Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula roughly 66 million years ago. The impact led to trillions of metric tons of dust clouds and a new Ice Age

Those local impacts included, 'acid rain, crop failure, and livestock poisoning' after Iceland's Laki volcano eruptions in 1783 and 1784. 

In essence, the researchers speculate that the Laki volcano's fluorine episode might be a good example of how the Deccan Traps' supervolcanic activity could have further harmed the dinosaurs over 66 million years ago.

'Deccan Traps volcanism set the stage for a global biotic crisis,' as the team put it in their new study, 'repeatedly deteriorating environmental conditions by forcing recurring short volcanic winters.'

But the 'the final blow' in their view was almost assuredly the well-known Chicxulub impact, when a carbon-rich asteroid crashed into Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula roughly 66 million years ago.

The impact, which left a six-mile-wide crater visible to this day, devastated the planet smashing up a hot cloud of dust, ash and steam and spreading 25 trillion metric tons of material into the atmosphere, some of which even escaped Earth's orbit.

The heated rentry of the rest of that material caused forest fires across 70 percent of the planet and left massive dust clouds that hastened a new Ice Age, scientists say. 

But the dinosaurs were already struggling with bad weather by that time, based on Baker and his teams' new work.

'Our dataset,' they wrote, 'indicates that volcanic-driven climate disturbance was already underway.'

HOW THE DINOSAURS BECAME EXTINCT AROUND 66MILLION YEARS AGO

Dinosaurs ruled the Earth around 66million years ago, but suddenly disappeared in what is known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction.

It was believed for many years that the changing climate destroyed the food chain of the huge reptiles. 

However, in the 1980s paleontologists discovered a layer of iridium - an element that is rare on Earth but found in vast quantities in space.  

When this was dated, it coincided precisely with when the dinosaurs disappeared from the fossil record. 

A decade later, scientists uncovered the massive Chicxulub Crater at the tip of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, which dates to the period in question. 

Scientific consensus now says that these two factors are linked and they were both probably caused by an enormous asteroid crashing to Earth.

With the projected size and impact velocity, the collision would have caused an enormous shock wave and is likely to have triggered seismic activity. 

The fallout would have created plumes of ash thought to have covered the whole planet, making it impossible for dinosaurs to survive. 

Other animals and plant species had a shorter time-span between generations which allowed them to survive.

There are several other theories as to what caused the demise of the dinos. 

One early theory was that small mammals ate dinosaur eggs and another proposes that toxic angiosperms (flowering plants) killed them off.

Mummified 'aliens' found in Peru have 30% DNA of an 'unknown species,' new analysis claims

• A DNA analysis of Mexico's mummified 'aliens' claimed they're nonhuman 
• Researchers conducted a DNA analysis on the bodies uncovered in Peru
• READ MORE:  A journalist first brought forth the two remains in September

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The mystery of Mexico's 'aliens' is deepening after an analysis claimed the DNA of tiny corpses is not human but of an 'unknown species.' 

The nation's Congress has been a circus for the past two months as controversial UFO enthusiast and journalist Jaime Maussan has held court several times to prove the mummified remains found in Peru are extraterrestrial life.

In his recent attempt, Maussan ushered in a team of researchers who performed a DNA analysis on the figures that showed 30 percent is 'not from any known species' and stated that the figures were 'authentic,' comprising a single skeleton.

The other 70 percent has not yet been revealed. 

DailyMail.com revealed that a UFO expert who has handled the tiny bodies suggested humans put them together - and the pair could have been made with now-extinct animals 1,000 years ago.

The mystery of Mexico 's ' aliens ' is deepening after an analysis claimed the DNA of tiny corpses is not human but of an 'unknown species'

This is the first time extraterrestrial life has been presented in this manner, Maussan said to Congress.

'We have a clear example of non-human specimens unrelated to any known species on our planet. 

'The public has the right to know about non-human technology and beings. This reality unites humanity rather than dividing us. We are not alone in this vast universe; we should embrace this truth.' 

Maussan added that the two corpses have sturdy bones, are toothless, and contain implants made of the soft, slivery-white metal cadmium and the bluish-white metal osmium - rare elements on Earth. 

He revealed in September that 30 percent of the DNA was unknown, but it was not until recently that claims of an unknown species surfaced. 

The nation's Congress has been a circus for the past two months as controversial UFO enthusiast and journalist Jaime Maussan has held court several times to prove the mummified remains found in Peru are extraterrestrial life

The figures underwent carbon dating by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), which determined the bodies had three-fingered hands, no teeth and were more than 1,000 years old, Maussan claimed

The figures underwent carbon dating by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), which determined the bodies had three-fingered hands, no teeth and were more than 1,000 years old, Maussan claimed.

'These specimens are not part of our terrestrial evolution [...] These aren't beings that were found after a UFO wreckage,' Maussan said to Congress in September.

'They were found in diatom [algae] mines and were later fossilized.' 

He later added: 'Whether they are aliens or not, we don't know, but they were intelligent and they lived with us. They should rewrite history.'

'We are not alone in this vast universe; we should embrace this reality.'

Maussan said that the two corpses have sturdy bones, are toothless, and contain implants made of the soft, slivery-white metal cadmium and the bluish-white metal osmium - rare elements on Earth

Experts also indicated that their DNA is hybrid, suggesting the bodies were descendants of the being human

 Earlier this month, Maussan ushered in a string of doctors who all said the bodies were those of real, once-living organisms - some experts claimed to have studied 'five similar specimens over four years.

The experts also indicated that their DNA is hybrid, suggesting the bodies were descendants of the being human.

'We have a hybrid being, we have other beings that are apparently more evolved than us…we are facing something truly extraordinary,' said Maussan.

While Mausaan and his team declared the mummified corpses, named Clara and Mauricio, 'are real,' the experts did not have an origin story and did not imply the bodies were 'extraterrestrial.'

At the hearing, he focused on proving the bodies were not fake by providing insights from medical experts.

'None of the scientists say [the study results] prove that they are extraterrestrials, but I go further,' he said, suggesting that they could be evidence of non-Earthly life forms.

Ufologist Will Galison - a close friend of the archaeologist who first analyzed the supposed 'aliens' - said he believes the 'corpses' are dummies that are 1,000 years old

Maussan brought a squad of medical experts who carried in a letter signed by 11 researchers from San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica, Peru, declaring the same.

Anthropologist Roger Zuniga of San Luis Gonzaga National University in Ica Peru said Tuesday: 'There was absolutely no human intervention in the physical and biological formation of these beings.'

However, the letter made clear that the team was not implying the bodies were 'extraterrestrial' but did not answer where the remains originated.

Argentine surgeon Celestino Adolfo Piotto also took the stand, claiming he reviewed the results of testing done on the bodies and made the bizarre case that 'they were an evolved version of today's human beings, calling them 'our descendants.'

But ufologist Will Galison - a close friend of the archaeologist who first analyzed the supposed 'aliens' - said he believes the 'corpses' are dummies that are 1,000 years old. 

Galison said they may have been made from animal remains a millennia ago, possibly for ritual purposes, with the heads bearing a 'remarkable similarity' to alpaca skulls. 

Many online have expressed skepticism about the veracity of the mummies origins.

Na 4.000 jaar opnieuw mammoeten? "Tegen 2028 lukt het ons!"

In een historisch gebouw in het Amerikaanse Deep Ellum wordt tegenwoordig een enorme inspanning geleverd om enkele van de beroemdste uitgestorven dieren weer tot leven te brengen. Een in Dallas gevestigd bedrijf genaamd 'Colossal Biosciences' gaat deze hallucinante uitdaging aan. Zo werkt het momenteel al aan de creatie van de wolharige mammoet, die 4000 jaar geleden uitstierf.

"We creëren technologie die de toekomst zal veranderen voor de uitgestorven soorten, maar het verbazingwekkende is dat deze technologieën vandaag de dag al een verschil kan maken voor het behoud van bedreigde diersoorten", zegt Matt James, de hoofddierenfunctionaris van Colossal.

Met behulp van DNA van Aziatische olifanten en DNA van wolharige mammoeten die bevroren zijn in de arctische toendra, gebruiken onderzoekers van Colossal Biosciences genbewerkingstechnologie om het genoom van een Aziatische olifant opnieuw te ontwerpen totdat het dat van een wolharige mammoet weerspiegelt. “Het blijkt dat de wolharige mammoet en de Aziatische olifant gnomisch gezien voor 99,6% op elkaar lijken”, zegt James.

In de laboratoria in Deep Ellum wordt gewerkt aan het creëren van kunstmatige baarmoeders waarin een wolharige mammoetkalf kan groeien. Colossal heeft er zelf een doel van gemaakt om te slagen tegen het jaar 2028.

James zegt dat het herstellen van een gigantisch ecosysteem de permafrost, oftewel de grond die bevroren blijft, kan behouden en de uitstoot van broeikasgassen kan vertragen. “Dit is waarschijnlijk 100 verschillende levens waard om dit doel te bereiken, maar we moeten zo snel mogelijk doorzetten omdat we worden geconfronteerd met deze onmiddellijke dreiging van de mondiale klimaatverandering”, aldus James.

Sinds de aankondiging van zijn voornemen voor de wolharige mammoet, heeft Colossal ook soortgelijke plannen aangekondigd voor de dodovogel en de Tasmaanse tijger, oftewel thylacine.

EXCLUSIVE: US military is seeing UFOs in SPACE, official report says

• US Space Force released a plan to identify and track 'anomalous' UFO sightings  
• Space Force said the 'unknown objects' disrupt its 'threat identification' mission
• READ MORE: CIA 'Office of Global Access (OGA)' has conducted UFO retrieval missions on at least NINE crash sites around the world, whistleblowers reveal

By MATTHEW PHELAN SENIOR SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The Pentagon branch tasked with protecting America from space-based threats, local and galactic, has detected thousands of UFOs in Earth's orbit, DailyMail.com can reveal.

US Space Force, America's newest military branch created under President Trump in 2019, told personnel this month that the sightings were so regular that they are 'hindering threat identification,' the branch's core mission.  

While many of the sightings will prove to be man-made space junk and 'natural debris' like meteoroids, US foreign adversaries continue to launch spy satellites, like North Korea's new Malligyong-1, and other covert orbital platforms. 

One new concern, Space Force noted: the risk of threatening spacecraft hidden in the large unwatched area between Earth and the moon, dubbed 'cislunar' orbit. 

In their new report, published this month, Space Force's leadership emphasized the importance of finding these grave 'threats' among mere 'hazards' like space junk.

But the military branch also went into considerable detail on a weirder, new category of potential 'hazards and threats' under scrutiny.

US Space Force, America's newest military branch created under President Trump in 2019, told personnel this month that 'abnormal observables' in space are a pervasive problem that is 'hindering threat identification,' the branch's core mission

Space Force hopes to 'distinguish between sources of spacecraft anomalies in support of anomaly resolution, recovery, and space attack assessment.' Since the branch's creation in 2019, the number of UFO 'unknowns' in Earth's orbit has skyrocketed by the thousands (above)

Space Force's mandate 'to rapidly identify and respond to threats and hazards,' the strategy document noted, also includes, 'objects that exhibit abnormal observables and patterns of life and cannot [be] correlated to any owner or point of origin.'

DailyMail.com has reached out to STARCOM, Space Force's Space Training and Readiness Command which published the new document, for detailed clarification on its precise meaning by the terms 'abnormal observables' and 'patterns of life.' 

In recent years, Pentagon officials tasked with investigating UFO cases, including the now famous 2004 Tic Tac incursions, have focused their attention on 'five observables' they say are unique features of serious unexplained phenomena.

'Unidentified aerial phenomena' or UAP that check off these 'observables' appear to display either one or all of the following: (1.) gravity-defying behavior, (2.) eerily low observability on radar or other sensors, (3.) sudden or instantaneous accelerations, (4.) hypersonic speeds without signatures like 'sonic booms,' and (5.) so-called 'trans-medium' travel between air, sea and outer space.

It's unclear from the Space Force STARCOM document, however, whether these five, established UFO techno-signatures overlap with their own 'abnormal observables.' 

It's also unclear what 'patterns of life' have been detected from orbital unknowns.

Space Force's strategy document, titled 'Space Doctrine Publication 3-100, Space Domain Awareness,' outlines the military branch's mission to monitor a vast orbital range that includes everything from low earth orbit (LEO) to the moon 

Across US military branches, the term 'patterns of life' has been used to reference the thermal heat signatures given off by living human targets, for everything from drone warfare to troop deployment surveillance. 

The Pentagon's departing UFO investigation chief, physicist Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, also used the term to indicate UAP mysteries that would include extraterrestrial craft.

'We are executing a rigorous science and technology plan to ensure controlled calibration of sensors, patterns of life, and signature characterization development,' Kirkpatrick said last December. 

'More data will help build a more complete picture and support the resolution of […] anomalous phenomena.' 

Thermal signatures from the body heat of a living thing (whether terrestrial or E.T. in origin), may fall into this category, to judge from the passages of Space Force's new strategy document that focused on the infra-red capabilities of US military satellites.

'Optical and infrared sensors with relatively wide (one square degree or more) field-of-view,' Space Force's STARCOM advised, 'are also well suited for searching for unknown objects or objects with only a roughly known location.' 

However, Lt. General DeAnna Burt, the deputy chief devoted to Space Force's cyber and nuclear operations, among others, have also used 'patterns of life' to reference detectable, routine activity by any and all technological platforms in space.

Last May, Lt. Gen. Burt dropped the term of art while criticizing China for its opaque and noncooperative space program activities. 

'We've said what our capabilities are,' Lt. Gen. Burt told SpaceNews. 'If you are honest and say what things are and have patterns of life that indicate they are what they are, then it's an everyday operation,' Burt said. 

Whatever Space Force's intent, the branch issued its new publication in mid-November to announce, in part, its plan to identify and track UFOs in orbit around Earth — a high priority initiative the branch calls 'Space Domain Awareness' (SDA).

The strategy document, titled 'Space Doctrine Publication 3-100, Space Domain Awareness,' outlines Space Force's mission to successfully monitor a vast orbital range that includes everything from low earth orbit (LEO) to the moon. 

STARCOM drafted the document as part of its mission to educate and train US Space Force personnel, officially dubbed 'guardians.'

Since the branch's creation in 2019, the number of orbital knowns and UFO 'unknowns' shadowing the Earth has skyrocketed by the thousands. 

Space Force, citing NASA data, published a chart revealing that there are now over 25,000 objects total in orbit, although most were determined to be 'rocket bodies,' 'spacecraft,' 'mission-related debris' or other known man-made objects.

Much of the clutter orbiting Earth is man-made space junk and 'natural debris' like meteoroids, but Space Force's document detailed a weirder, new category: 'objects that exhibit abnormal observables and patterns of life and cannot [be] correlated to any owner or point of origin'

Over 60 percent of the US Space Force budget, or about $19.2 billion worth, has earmarked for research, development, testing and evaluation - creating the tools and techniques for the new and growing problem of defending US interests from foreign military activity in space

According to the Air Force Research Lab, its new security and monitoring probe, the Oracle spacecraft (above) 'aims to launch in 2026 to an area of gravitational stability between the Earth and the Moon to test techniques to monitor space traffic that travels through that region'

Space Force leadership said it hopes to positively identify any and all UFOs to determine if they should be recovered or if they pose a clear and present danger to the United States. 

Or, in military's own unique jargon, Space Force hopes to 'distinguish between sources of spacecraft anomalies in support of anomaly resolution, recovery, and space attack assessment,' the new document states.

But that will cost money, alongside Space Force's other duties providing satellite and other space-based support for American troops on the ground worldwide.

This year, the new military branch is requesting a $30 billion budget from Congress for 2024, just one of many UFO-centric provisions to the 2024 National Defense Authorization (NDAA) now approaching a heated, contested vote on Capitol Hill.

As detailed by the law creating Space Force, the military branch has two related but distinct duties.

• READ MORE: Air Force officer breaks silence on 'red, glowing UFO the size of a football field' hovering at low altitude over US space base in California

The ex-Air Force security officer said he investigated two sightings of a 100-yard UFO witnessed by Boeing contractors and Air Force police on October 14, 2003. There's 'at least 80 people that know this happened,' the USAF vet., Jeff Nuccetelli, told the Merged podcast. As the officer recalled of the eyewitnesses, 'They're scared. Everyone's freaked out' 

First it must organize, train and equip personnel to 'protect US and allied interests in space.' But, secondarily, it must also 'provide space capabilities to the joint forces' here on Earth, such as maintaining spy satellites and other space-based military hardware. 

Space Force's STARCOM noted that figuring out the mystery of what these UFOs or UAP are is essential, in part, so that it can get on with it's other military troop-support tasks. 

'Anomalous indications,' the new guidance document states, 'unnecessarily consume SDA resources (e.g., sensors, communication nodes, command and control [C2] centers, planners, operators) that would otherwise be supporting space and terrestrial combatant commands.'

One new concern, the document added, is the growing threat of foreign spy satellites and worse, in the large dark orbital region between the Earth and the moon, dubbed 'cislunar' orbit.

'Current sensor capabilities will find that the vastness of space between the Earth and the moon, and around the moon, creates challenging conditions for search, custody, and collection operations in support of joint forces,' the branch's new strategy document stated. 

Space Force noted plans by the US Air Force Research Lab for a new security and monitoring probe, the Oracle spacecraft, which 'aims to launch in 2026 to an area of gravitational stability between the Earth and the Moon to test techniques to monitor space traffic that travels through that region.' 

Given all this uncharted territory, which is at best poorly monitored by US defense systems, it is no surprise that the branch's 'guardians' are requesting $3.9 billion more from taxpayers for 2024 than its 2023 fiscal year budget. 

At present, over 60 percent of the US Space Force's budget, or about $19.2 billion worth, has been earmarked for research, development, testing and evaluation. 

Nearly $20 billion, in other words, just to create the tools and techniques for the new and growing problem of defending US interests from foreign military activity, terrestrial and possibly extraterrestrial, in outer space.

Last May, Lt. Gen. Burt dropped the term of art while criticizing China for its opaque and noncooperative space program activities. 

'We've said what our capabilities are,' Lt. Gen. Burt told SpaceNews. 'If you are honest and say what things are and have patterns of life that indicate they are what they are, then it's an everyday operation,' Burt said. 

Whatever Space Force's intent, the branch issued its new publication in mid-November to announce, in part, its plan to identify and track UFOs in orbit around Earth — a high priority initiative the branch calls 'Space Domain Awareness' (SDA).

The strategy document, titled 'Space Doctrine Publication 3-100, Space Domain Awareness,' outlines Space Force's mission to successfully monitor a vast orbital range that includes everything from low earth orbit (LEO) to the moon. 

STARCOM drafted the document as part of its mission to educate and train US Space Force personnel, officially dubbed 'guardians.'

Since the branch's creation in 2019, the number of orbital knowns and UFO 'unknowns' shadowing the Earth has skyrocketed by the thousands. 

Space Force, citing NASA data, published a chart revealing that there are now over 25,000 objects total in orbit, although most were determined to be 'rocket bodies,' 'spacecraft,' 'mission-related debris' or other known man-made objects.

Much of the clutter orbiting Earth is man-made space junk and 'natural debris' like meteoroids, but Space Force's document detailed a weirder, new category: 'objects that exhibit abnormal observables and patterns of life and cannot [be] correlated to any owner or point of origin'

Over 60 percent of the US Space Force budget, or about $19.2 billion worth, has earmarked for research, development, testing and evaluation - creating the tools and techniques for the new and growing problem of defending US interests from foreign military activity in space

According to the Air Force Research Lab, its new security and monitoring probe, the Oracle spacecraft (above) 'aims to launch in 2026 to an area of gravitational stability between the Earth and the Moon to test techniques to monitor space traffic that travels through that region'

Space Force leadership said it hopes to positively identify any and all UFOs to determine if they should be recovered or if they pose a clear and present danger to the United States. 

Or, in military's own unique jargon, Space Force hopes to 'distinguish between sources of spacecraft anomalies in support of anomaly resolution, recovery, and space attack assessment,' the new document states.

But that will cost money, alongside Space Force's other duties providing satellite and other space-based support for American troops on the ground worldwide.

This year, the new military branch is requesting a $30 billion budget from Congress for 2024, just one of many UFO-centric provisions to the 2024 National Defense Authorization (NDAA) now approaching a heated, contested vote on Capitol Hill.

As detailed by the law creating Space Force, the military branch has two related but distinct duties.

Should We Send Humans to Venus?

“If we were to send humans to Venus, they’d be going in a spacecraft that would fly by the planet en route somewhere else,” Dr. Byrne tells Universe Today. “If we were to one day send humans actually to Venus itself for science and engineering purposes, then a cloud-based habitat is the way to go. Getting humans onto the Venus surface is going to require so much technology and expense that, for the foreseeable future, I don’t think anyone will think it worth doing.”

A 2015 study presented at the AIAA Space and Astronautics Forum and Exposition outlined a NASA study for the High Altitude Venus Operational Concept (HAVOC) mission that would involve a 30-day crewed mission using an airship equipped with solar panels within the upper atmosphere of Venus. This is because Venus’ upper atmosphere at approximately 50 kilometers (30 miles) above the surface exhibits much more hospitable conditions, including temperatures between 30 to 70 degrees Celsius (86 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit) and pressures very close to that of Earth. However, Dr. Byrne refers to HAVOC as an “unbelievably expensive concept”.

As for using Venus while en route to another location in the Solar System, Venus has been used on several occasions to slingshot spacecraft to the outer Solar System as well as for exploration of the inner Solar System, such as Mercury and the Sun. For example, NASA’s Galileo and Cassini spacecraft used gravity assists at Venus while en route to Jupiter and Saturn, respectively, while NASA’s MESSENGER and the European Space Agency’s (ESA) BepiColombo spacecraft used gravity assists at Venus while en route to Mercury. Additionally, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the ESA Solar Orbiter used gravity assists at Venus for orbital adjustments to explore the Sun.

“Once within close proximity to Venus, astronauts could remotely operate spacecraft, landers, or even aircraft to conduct valuable science before moving out of range again,” Dr. Byrne tells Universe Today. “But to be clear, the real value for such a mission would be as part of learning how to live and work in deep space en route to distant destinations, i.e., Mars. That’s something I don’t think we’re talking enough about yet when we think about sending humans, one day, to the Red Planet

Will we ever send humans to Venus? Will it be a cloud or surface mission, and what can we learn from doing it? Only time will tell, and this is why we science!

As always, keep doing science & keep looking up!

Should We Send Humans to Europa?

Dr. Francis Nimmo, who is a Professor in the Earth & Planetary Sciences Department at UC Santa Cruz, echoes Dr. Rhoden’s sentiments, telling Universe Today, “The biggest problem with sending humans to Europa is the radiation environment – it is extremely hostile. Even radiation-hardened spacecraft electronics have to be shielded inside a thick metal box in order to survive the Europa environment, so humans would be very unlikely to survive there for long enough to do anything useful.”

While NASA’s Europa Clipper mission will be exploring Europa, its orbital flight plan calls for the spacecraft to orbit Jupiter and not Europa to protect the spacecraft’s hardware and electronics from Jupiter’s intense radiation belts. Through this, Europa Clipper is slated to perform 50 flybys of Europa, coming as close as 25 kilometers (16 miles) of the icy moon’s surface. But, like Venus, could human exploration be conducted in orbit around Europa, despite the harsh radiation?

“An orbital colony would fare better, if it could be positioned to avoid too much radiation, but it would still be a major logistical challenge,” Dr. Rhoden tells Universe Today. “An orbiting colony of astronauts could provide (limited) ground support for ice shelling drilling projects and other short-term research excursions. And at least water retrieval would be easier! Overall, sending humans to Europa sounds exciting, but we have a long way to go before it’s feasible and likely to provide more benefit than orbiting spacecraft, landers/rovers, or autonomous drills.”

But even if an orbiting colony could work, what about resupplies for food and water (if the latter can’t be excavated from Europa)? With present propulsion technology, it takes spacecraft years to reach Jupiter from Earth while requiring multiple gravity assists just to slingshot their way to the outer Solar System. In contrast, future astronauts on the Moon would only have to wait a few days for a resupply mission. For Mars, astronauts might only have to wait six months if the positions of Earth and Mars were just right. All things considered, if a colony on Europa runs out of supplies, they might be doomed.

“Obviously, a colony on Europa would require just as much external support for food and breathable air as other targets like the Moon or Mars,” Dr. Rhoden tells Universe Today. “But on Europa, those externally supplied resources would be a decade away, and the external environment would be savagely attacking anything you put on the surface.”

Will we ever send humans to Europa? Will it be a surface or orbital mission, and what can we learn from doing it? Only time will tell, and this is why we science!

As always, keep doing science & keep looking up!

BREAKING: Whistleblowers Unveil CIA’s Covert Operations: Retrieving UFOs from Nine Global Crash Sites

In the vast expanse of our universe, the question of whether we are alone has always tantalized humanity. Recently, a stunning revelation has brought this question into a startling perspective (Daily Motion link: EXCLUSIVE: CIA’s secret office has conducted UFO retrieval missions on at least NINE crash sites around the world, whistleblowers reveal). Whispered rumors and clandestine conversations have long hinted at the existence of unidentified flying objects, but now, a new chapter unfolds as we delve into the secretive operations of the CIA’s ‘Office of Global Access’. This covert wing of the intelligence agency, shrouded in mystery, has reportedly been at the forefront of recovering alien spacecraft, with claims of at least nine extraterrestrial crafts in their possession.

Established in 2003, the Office of Global Access, a less-known appendage of the CIA’s Science and Technology Directorate, emerged as a central player in what could be the most extraordinary collection in human history. Sources, speaking under the veil of anonymity, have revealed that this office has played a pivotal role in orchestrating the retrieval of what are believed to be alien spacecraft from around the globe.

The narrative that unfolds is one of intrigue and secrecy. These alleged operations, sounding like they’re straight out of a science fiction novel, have been carried out with utmost discretion. According to insiders, some of these crafts were recovered from crash sites, bearing the scars of their tumultuous descents, while two others were found completely intact, presenting a baffling enigma of advanced technology and unknown origins.

The journey to uncover these truths has been fraught with challenges. The efforts to maintain secrecy are as complex as the operations themselves. It’s claimed that the actual physical retrieval of these objects is conducted by military units, but the control quickly shifts to private hands. This transition is supposedly a strategy to circumvent the rigorous documentation and public scrutiny that accompany government possession.

What makes these revelations even more compelling is the technology that supposedly allows the CIA to detect these UFOs, even when they are cloaked. This capability, if true, signifies a leap in surveillance and reconnaissance technologies, the likes of which we have yet to fully comprehend.

However, amidst these staggering claims, skepticism and calls for transparency echo throughout the corridors of power and public forums. Legislation spearheaded by influential figures seeks to shed light on these mysteries, demanding the disclosure of ‘recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence’.

The implications of these revelations extend far beyond the confines of national security and scientific curiosity. They challenge our understanding of the universe and our place within it. As we stand at the cusp of possibly the greatest discovery in human history, the saga of the CIA’s Office of Global Access and the nine UFO crafts continues to unfold, shrouded in secrecy, yet beckoning the relentless pursuit of truth.

Dinosaurus tijdperk
Wetenschappers blijven verdeeld over de precieze oorzaak van het uitsterven. Er blijven echter twee prominente theorieën bestaan. De eerste is dat het uitsterven werd veroorzaakt door een komeet of asteroïde die de aarde trof. De tweede theorie suggereert dat vulkanische activiteit verantwoordelijk was voor het uitroeien van de dinosauriërs.

Einde van de wereld: de Bijbel
De heilige tekst vertelt twee keer over het einde van de wereld. In het boek Genesis beveelt God Noach om een ​​ark te bouwen en een paar van elk geslacht te beschermen tegen alle aardse soorten. Daarna verwoest God de wereld met een kolossale overstroming, terwijl hij het voortbestaan ​​van alle bewoners aan boord van de ark verzekert.

Einde van de wereld: de Bijbel
Het andere gedeelte over het einde van de wereld bevindt zich in het boek Openbaring. Het gaat over een enorme oorlog tussen goed en kwaad die een einde maakt aan de wereld.

Einde van de wereld: Johannes Stöffler
Een eeuwenoude theorie over het einde van de wereld werd aangekondigd door de Duitse astroloog en wiskundige Johannes Stöffler. Volgens de Encyclopedia Britannica voorspelde hij dat de wereld in 1524 zou vergaan nadat de uitlijning van de planeten een enorme overstroming zou veroorzaken.

Einde van de wereld: de Antichrist
Volgens National Geographic was er een andere theorie die het einde van de wereld in 1666 voorspelde. Deze theorie verwees naar de getallen '666', waarvan sommigen geloven dat ze het getal van het Beest vertegenwoordigen dat in het boek Openbaring wordt genoemd.

Einde van de wereld: Grote Brand van Londen
De theorie werd opnieuw ondersteund in 1666 toen een enorme brand Londen trof, gedetailleerd gerapporteerd door de BBC.

Einde van de wereld: komeet
Volgens The Guardian begonnen mensen in 1910 te vrezen dat de aarde besmet zou raken en dat er een enorm verlies aan mensenlevens zou plaatsvinden als de komeet van Halley voorbij zou komen.

Einde van de wereld: Hal Lindsey
Volgens het tijdschrift Time verwierf schrijver Hal Lindsey in de jaren zeventig bekendheid met zijn boek 'Late Great Planet Earth', waarin een theorie over het einde van de wereld populair werd. Lindsey voorspelde dat de apocalyps in 1988 zou plaatsvinden.

Einde van de wereld: Nostradamus
Nostradamus, bekend om zijn voorspellingen over het einde van de wereld, theoretiseerde op beroemde wijze over de komst van een Koning van de Terreur in augustus 1999. Zoals gerapporteerd in The Washington Post trok deze profetie de aandacht van velen en leidde tot wijdverbreide speculatie. De details van deze profetie, samen met de mogelijke implicaties ervan, werden destijds nauwkeurig onderzocht en geanalyseerd.

De millenniumbug: het einde van de wereld
Aan het einde van de 20e eeuw ontstonden er verschillende theorieën die de apocalyps voorspelden. Een van de bekendste was de populaire ‘Millennium Bug’-theorie, die zich concentreerde op een coderingsfout in computersystemen die alleen de laatste twee cijfers van het jaar herkenden.

Einde van de wereld: Millenniumbug
Er ontstond een theorie dat computersystemen hierdoor de "00" in 2000 verkeerd zouden interpreteren als 1900, wat zou resulteren in een aanzienlijke chaos. Volgens Time waren er zorgen dat dit zou kunnen leiden tot storingen die een wereldwijde catastrofe zouden veroorzaken.

Einde van de wereld: Harold Camping
Elf jaar later, in 2011, werd een andere datum voorspeld door Harold Camping. Hij stierf in 2013 zonder getuige te zijn van de apocalyps, zoals gerapporteerd in The New York Times.

Einde van de wereld: de Maya's
In 2012 kreeg een algemeen aanvaarde theorie mondiale aandacht, waarbij de nadruk lag op de Maya's, een oude beschaving die leefde in wat nu bekend staat als Midden-Amerika.

Volgens de BBC was de theorie verbonden met de Maya-kalender, die destijds steun kreeg van mondiale gebeurtenissen zoals stormen en onrust in het Midden-Oosten.

©Shutterstock

Einde van de wereld: de Maya's
Door de jaren heen zijn sommige mensen zelfs van mening geweest dat er een fout in de profetie zat, als gevolg van een misverstand bij het ontcijferen van de Maya-kalender, en dat het einde van de wereld in plaats daarvan gepland is voor 2023. Nieuwe onderzoeken uitgevoerd in Latijns-Amerika wijzen erop dat de apocalyps vindt plaats tussen 21 Juni en 31 December van dit jaar. Deze periode wordt zelfs de ‘Kerstprofetie’ genoemd, waardoor er angst ontstaat, vooral tussen 25 en 31 December.

2012 was inderdaad tamelijk tam vergeleken met de jaren daarna, waarin de wereld werd getroffen door een mondiale pandemie en diverse conflicten, waaronder die in Oekraïne en Israël, waardoor het concrete risico op een derde wereldoorlog toenam.

Einde van de wereld: Grigori Raspoetin
Volgens het Pravda-rapport voorspelde de Russische mysticus Grigori Rasputin een verwoestende storm die de aarde in 2013 zou treffen.

Einde van de wereld: de eindtijdprofetieën
Volgens The Telegraph voorspelde een christelijke groep genaamd The End Times Prophecies in 2016 dat er een significante verandering in de magnetische polen van de aarde zou plaatsvinden, wat zou leiden tot het uitsterven van de mensheid.

Einde van de wereld: David Meade
David Meade, een gerenommeerd schrijver bekend om zijn ideeën over de apocalyps, schreef 'Planet X - The 2017 Arrival.'

©Shutterstock

Einde van de wereld: bedreiging
Volgens de theorie van David Meade zou de aarde worden getroffen door een planeet, genaamd "X". De voorspelling kreeg terrein nadat NASA een nieuwe planeet ontdekte, genaamd Planet Nine, volgens The Sun.

©Shutterstock

Einde van de wereld: de oorsprong van de theorie
Volgens de Express omvatten zijn voorspellingen astrologische theorie en de leringen uit het boek Openbaring.

©Shutterstock

Einde van de wereld: uitleg
De schrijver vertrouwde op astrologische gebeurtenissen om zijn theorie te ondersteunen over een planetaire botsing die wijdverbreide chaos veroorzaakte. Deze gebeurtenissen omvatten de uitlijning van de zon, de maan en Jupiter in het sterrenbeeld Maagd.

©Shutterstock

Einde van de wereld: geloof
Volgens de theorie van Meade, die ook wordt uiteengezet in een ander artikel uit The Sun, wordt voorspeld dat het einde van de wereld zou beginnen op 23 april 2018, met het plaatsvinden van de bijbelse Opname. Deze gebeurtenis zou dan leiden tot een mondiaal tijdperk van oorlogvoering en de opkomst van de Antichrist.
