UFO sighting over Sydney, Australia on 27th July 2014
Witness said: Thank you to watch my video. I show you how I capturing UFOs with IR. filter fitted camcorder and without filter.The first think before you starting searching the sky.1;using the Automata focus, zoom in the long distance object, than Lock the camera to manual focus.” Doing only when clear Sky.No cloud” Sometime the UFOs not visible on the eye, placing the I R. 850 Optical filter to your camcorder and turn your camera on the Night Shot, or Super Nightshot position,” Daylight capture!” I using a SONY. DCR-TRV.530 Digital camcorder, and. Canon DM-GL.2.Digital camcorder. Fluorite 100X Digital zoom.
Witness said: In the early morning went out on a balcony to breathe crisp air, something pushed on an idea to take picture sky. Did 2 pictures with a difference in 5-6 sec, then noticed a quickly retiring object which had time to get on these 2 pictures. Noise and high light was not observed. Round an object there is discharged of air, like plasma.
Haslett, MI – 7/31/2014: We have a game camera that we put up to observe the deer across the street from our house. My husband brought the disk in on Sunday which contained approximately 120 pictures over a 4 day period. On July 31 at 11:00pm beginning picture number 34, we had three pictures of 6 bright lights, all the same size and in a perfectly straight line, in the air. The lights stayed exactly the same except changed in height. The camera is motion activated and is set to take 3 consecutive shots and then go into a 5 minute timeout. In the next shot after the timeout the lights were no longer visible. We have had this camera up over the last 3 years and have never gotten anything even close to this. There was a deer in the shot which seemed to be running off. The camera faces an old driving range, so there are no roads or buildings that would be in the picture. – MUFON CMS
A man clutching an axe inside an old military frigate doesn’t make for your typical ghost story, nor does it make typical fodder for an internet hoax.
But a photograph showing a ghostly figure with an axe in his hand aboard a decommissioned military vessel on a dry dock has gained a lot of traction on social media sites.
Stevgoldhound, who posted the picture on Imgur yesterday, claims it was taken by a colleague of his called John who works as a dock foreman.
John apparently took the picture while snapping work areas and navigating deep within the ship with a torch. He didn’t see anyone while taking the images.
Another user of the site cleaned up the image and came up with this. Creepy huh?
‘Ghost with axe’ spotted on military ship will freak you out
‘Due to the fact that it was a military vessel the police were called,’ Stevgoldhound wrote. ‘A search was carried out but no one was found. There was one way on and off the ship, and that was by a gangway covered by CCTV. (You couldn’t jump over the side as it was a 25 meter drop on to concrete).’
Stevgoldhound added: ‘I am a sceptic. Maybe its a trick of the flash reflecting off something, but if you really zoom in you can just make out the f—— face, ear, collar of his jacket and the f—– axe in a meaty f—— fist.
‘Now it could be John blowing smoke up my ass, but when he was telling the story he seemed genuinely rattled. And the guy in the pic looks nothing any of the other workers we met at the dock.’
What do you think? A ghost, someone who somehow snuck on the boat or something else? – Metro
NORWALK, Calif. (KABC) — A mysterious animal was caught on camera roaming the streets of Norwalk, causing concerns among some neighbors about a lion in their midst.
“It looks like a big cat, but then when you look at it again, it could be a dog. The gait, the way the animal is walking, it kind of has the characteristics of a cat, but we really don’t know at this point,” Norwalk Mayor Marcel Rodarte said.
While the experts work to identify the mystery animal, the mayor is trying to get the word out to the people living in this neighborhood to keep an eye out for small pets.
“We want to make sure that if this is a wild animal or if this is maybe a pet that someone kept illegally that people are aware to keep an eye out for it, because our goal is really to capture the animal and put it in the safe place,” Rodarte said.
Many of the neighbors said they’re scared for their pets. Others wondered what the animal might be and how it got here.
“It doesn’t belong here. What’s it doing here? There’s no mountains in the back or anything like that,” neighbor Vivian Romero said.
But others said they’ve seen it before and think it’s something far less ominous.
“It’s a big, gray dog. It looks kind of like a Rottweiler or a Pit bull and it just kind of goes through the neighborhood digging up trees and goes on about its business,” neighbor Chai Harter said. Video can be found at ABC7
NOTE: Looks like a big predatory cat…large, long tail and feline stride. Lon
I (together with 50-100 people) had witnessed a major UFO sighting in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1997, and it still mystifies me to this date. What is most surprising is that I am unable to find any reference to it on the internet and so am writing to you in the hope that you would be able to investigate.
The year was 1997 and I was doing my post-graduate studies in an internationally acclaimed institution in Lausanne that year. I am from Asia ans have since gone back to live in Asia, it was only that year that I was spending in Lausanne. It was in the later half of the year probably in Aug or Sep. It was a Saturday night, and had gone out in one part of Lausanne with some friends. I then left that part of Lausanne and was walking to another part of Lausanne where I was meeting some other friends.
Suddenly, I saw hundreds of people who had stepped out of their restaurants and looking in the sky. This was near the Lake Geneva shore and the area was an upmarket one with classy restaurants. The people witnessing this were all urban, well educated and well-off people. I looked up in the sky and saw somewhere between 15 – 20 lights hovering in the sky. They were fairly low in the sky and hence could be seen clearly, ie no room for doubt on maybe eyes playing game on us etc. The closest one could think of the lights was a formation of military aircrafts, but they couldn’t be aircrafts because they were just stationary and making no sound. As I mentioned, it was so unique that people eating in many restaurants there had all come out of their restaurants half way through their meal to witness this. After a few mins, the lights moved up into the sky very quickly and disappeared in the same formation, perfectly synchronised. I myself am a well educated person in senior management, and not one prone to believing in unexplained phenomena. This was a very clear incident of unidentified flying object with no room for doubt.
Unfortunately, none of my friends were there. I expected this to be reported in the newspapers next day. But the newspapers were all in French and I don’t know French at all. I asked some of my friends who knew French whether anything was mentioned in the newspapers, and they said no. Those days of course, the internet was just in its infancy.
For years now, every now and then, I search the internet to see if this has been highlghted anywhere, especially in specialist ufo sites like yours, but surprise not to find anything. I am hoping you have associates in Lausanne, Switzerland who are able to talk to the locals there and find out. This took place in an area called Ouchy, that is just by the lakeside. There are a clutch of restaurants on Avenue Willaim Fraise very close to the Movenpick Hotel. – MUFON CMS
On a winter’s night in 1952, it was pandemonium at a Girls Club when they all saw a Flying Saucer. I was eleven years old when this happened,” Diane says. Diane was leaving the Binghamton Girls Club at approximately 9 p.m., in February 1952. The facility was located intersection of Frederick and Liberty streets in Binghamton, NY. The girls had just been dismissed for the evening, so the front yard was full of girls age 9-16, about 45-60 in number, all heading for home. Diane was fascinated by the night sky and the beautiful stars so she was constantly looking up at them. The winter sky that evening was crystal clear, so she took advantage of the opportunity to look around. To the west she saw the moon as a simple crescent. As she glanced toward the southeast sky, she saw something odd and interesting. “It looked like a shark’s fin at first… I may have been the first to notice the thing.” She says.
Diane described the object as self-illuminated; “It had a harvest moon orange color sort of appearance. No other lights were visible.” She explains that the object drew closer and enlarged in size,”then it flipped or sort of rolled over, I saw this whole thing very clearly, when it sort of turned over or revolved horizontally it appeared as a disk and approached us very quickly and stopped in the sky about 45 degrees up from the south horizon.” Diane says the object was totally silent. She further states that it was like an orange football or blimp shape with portholes around the middle, and it appeared solid. “I had the distinct feeling that we were being observed or scanned or something. It was a very oppressive feeling I had never experienced before. When someone yelled”it’s a flying saucer” it started a stampede back into the Girl’s Club door, if you can imagine a large number of teen-age girls all trying to get back into a small door all at once.”
Inside the girls club the group of teens were yelling at the two women directors, telling them that a flying saucer was outside. The staffer reluctantly went outside for a look. By this time the craft had moved to the southeast and it quickly moved away in an apparent straight line becoming quickly smaller to an orange point of light and disappeared. The director of girls club in an effort to calm the frightened youngsters told them simply.”It’s the moon.” Diane tells us that she objected to the trite explanation, telling the director “no.” She pointed to the moon setting in the western sky. The director paid no attention to what the eleven year old had to say about it. Diane tells us that she did check the local newspaper the next day but couldn’t find a report of the event. Finally Diane tells us that for her it was a life changing experience, “I entered The University of Michigan as an astronomy major in 1958, as a direct result of fascination based on this event.”
A Manitoba, Canada witness at Birds Hill reported waking during the night while camping as a bright blue light filled his tent, according to August 4, 2014 testimony in Case 58629 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was camping alone on the night of July 31 to August 1, 2014, and recalls waking near 3 a.m.
The witness later recalled a ‘small hooded figure at the end of my campsite.’ Pictured: Birds Hill. (Credit: Google)
“My tent was filled by a bright light that started off whitish but changed to bright blue,” the witness stated. “It was shining through the tent from the outside. I do not remember hearing anything, but I remember feeling strange and disoriented.”
The witness says he returned to sleep at that point.
“I did not have the urge to leave my tent, just to close my eyes and hope it went away. I woke up again, I am not sure how much later. I felt less disoriented and was wondering why I had woken earlier.”
Then the witness had memories from the event.
“I then remembered the blue light and I then had a memory of a small hooded figure at the edge of my campsite. When I noticed it, it flashed closer to me without walking. I have no memory of a craft or anything else, but I have had sightings in the past.”
The witness has no memory of a UFO – just a blue light filling his tent followed by memories of a small hooded figure. Pictured: Birds Hill. (Credit: Google)
Birds Hill is a community in the Canadian province of Manitoba located a few kilometers northeast of Winnipeg. MUFON Canada is investigating.
A report was submitted to the MUFON CMS in reference to an anomaly seen on Google Earth over Yellowstone National Park. The only statement offered was:
I was moving from frame to frame on google earth when i found these photos. I dont know if they are ufo's or what they are.
Are these birds, drones, or anomalous? Or, another lens flare? They almost look like that big hoax from California in 2007-2008 The Caret Drone? (pictured below)
So....what is it? Who knows...but it does have a 'manufactured' look to it. Lon
Engineers from the space agency managed to produce tiny amounts of thrust using a microwave engine design that could turn space travel on its head
In a quiet announcement that has sent shockwaves through the scientific world, Nasa has cautiously given its seal of approval to a new type of “impossible” space engine that could revolutionize space travel.
In a paper published by the agency’s experimental Eagleworks Laboratories, Nasa engineers confirmed that they had produced tiny amounts of thrust from an engine without propellant – an apparent violation of the conservation of momentum; the law of physics that states that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction.
If further experiments continue to confirm the reality of these microwave thrusters then it could trigger a new era of space travel. Nasa’s involvement is no guarantee of success, but it does suggest that scientists are taking the possibility of ‘impossible’ engines seriously. Perhaps we should too.

Pew Research’s recent public opinion poll on technology and the future has been on my mind this week. We’ve already discussed the possibility of weather control and teleportation, but what about time travel? Only 9% of Americans polled say they want time travel technology (or, at least, that they’d prioritize it over other futuristic contraptions), which I’m initially inclined to blame on thefact that most of us didn’t grow up watching Doctor Who and don’t know how cool time travel technology can be.
As was the case with most of the other technologies discussed in the Pew study, time travel refers to something we’re already doing (albeit on an insignificant scale). Due to the effects of time dilation, astronauts and satellites already travel forward in time by tiny fractions of a second. Greenwich Royal Observatory’s Colin Stuart explains how here:
But even if we perfect and amplify this technology, it only allows time travel to the future, and where’s the fun in that? There’s little point in traveling to the future if you can’t come back to the present when you’re done. But traveling backward through time involves a lot more energy and, in Michio Kaku’s words, “punching a hole in the universe”:
A good number of scientists and inventors are trying, in various ways, to figure outhow we can travel through time—but none, as far as we know, have been successful.. Our inability to conquer time travel defines our existence as mortal beings who can only move within brief, finite periods of time—in one direction, and at or near one speed. If we ever could travel in time to change the past, it would be to the human experience what printing our own fake money would be to a game of Monopoly. It would be a game-changer—so much of one that our odds of using the technology responsibly, or even competently, would be slim. Stephen Hawking once remarked that one of the best arguments against future use of time travel is the lack of evidence for time travelers among us. It does, at least, suggest that if future generations have visited us, they had the good sense to keep it to themselves.
Even 45 years later, Buzz Aldrin has detailed memories of the Apollo 11 mission, when he became the second man to set foot on the moon.
Dishing about the moment he saw an “unidentified” object floating outside his Apollo capsule, Aldrin wrote:
“On Apollo 11 en route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world — it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft. So in the close vicinity, moving away, were 4 panels. And I feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected
The ex-astronaut, who is speaking out this month ahead of the 45th anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, discussed the mission, in a Reddit-AMA on Tuesday.
Aldrin first recounted his UFO anecdote during a Science Channel program in 2005. At the time, UFO enthusiasts were apparently upset that Aldrin had not shared the information sooner.
During his Reddit AMA, Aldrin also took time to proclaim his hope that humans will travel to Mars in the near future.
"There is very little doubt, in my mind, that ... the next monumental achievement of humanity will be the first landing by an Earthling, a human being, on the planet Mars," Aldrin wrote, adding that he expects an international team to establish a presence on the red planet.
Aldrin added that a "collection of the best" individuals from around the world should land on Mars and establish a permanent settlement, rather than representatives of a private company with an eye on space tourism -- such as Elon Musk's SpaceX.
Wrote Aldrin:
I have considered whether a landing on Mars could be done by the private sector. It conflicts with my very strong idea, concept, conviction, that the first human beings to land on Mars should not come back to Earth. They should be the beginning of a build-up of a colony / settlement, I call it a "permanence." A settlement you can visit once or twice, come back, and then decide you want to settle. Same with a colony. But you want it to be permanent from the get-go, from the very first.
Should NASA send astronauts back to the moon? Aldrin said that's probably not the best use of resources. Instead, he said, the U.S. should direct its focus further into space and establish colonies and labs on Mars.

1:11:27: "Well, I can say I haven't read it [James Carrion's The Rosetta Deception] and I will order it now that you tell me it is on Amazon ... when I looked the first time I couldn't find it .... the fact that there is disinformation and there has been loads of it doesn't mean it's all baloney ... the stuff about Roswell or the stuff about aliens. He and I have tangled a couple of times at meetings and he even ignored some of the data his own people had but anyway I'll write a column ... I write a monthly column for the MUFON Journal and as soon as I get the book I will read it and write a column and judging on the past unless James Carrion has changed a great deal which I doubt I think we'll find that the book itself is disinformation ... how's that for a prediction? ... I haven't really gone into any detail yet because I haven't read the book and I don't dare to [I didn't hear this part very well but I think Stan said dare to] until I read the book ... I've only gone by past history."
I will answer Stanton’s comments on the Rosetta Deception by using Stanton Friedmanisms: "Don’t bother with me the facts, my mind is made up and if you can’t attack the data, attack the person."
All of my Rosetta Deception research is based on facts that are well documented in the book. Stanton admits he hasn't yet read the book but then categorically says I am full of baloney. Stanton later says he will read the Rosetta Deception and write an article for the MUFON journal on it but then states that he “predicts the book will be disinformation.”
Astoundingly, later on in the interview when asked to offer an opinion on Stan Romanek, he says “I don’t have enough information to have a reasonable opinion”. When asked about some alleged new Roswell related material recently found in some attic, Stan states, “I don’t know enough to have an opinion” and “why should I replace facts with conjecture?” Uh? Did you not just do that Stan by calling my research baloney and disinformation when you still have not read the book?
So Stanton, here is my response to your penchant at contradicting yourself: Practice what you preach and do your homework and get your facts straight before you commit to an opinion.
The things Stanton said in the interview we can agree on and which should stick out to him when he reads the book and as he is penning his MUFON journal article:
How easy it is to keep secrets and how important “need to know” is in the intelligence community
The tremendous amounts of money earmarked for the intelligence community
Disinformation is a well-known Government activity and was used heavily in WW2
The importance of code breaking during WW2, “Thank God for Enigma and Purple”
Volgens astronomen zijn er naast de Aarde honderd miljoen andere plaatsen in de Melkweg die mogelijk leven bevatten. Ze baseren hun onderzoek op een nieuwe berekeningsmethode om informatie over planeten in andere zonnestelsels te analyseren. Dat meldt Science Daily.
De onderzoekers van de universiteiten van Cornell, Texas, Puerto Rico en Washington publiceerden hun studie in het vakblad Challenges. Nooit eerder werd een schatting gemaakt van het aantal werelden in het heelal die mogelijk complexe levensvormen huisvesten.
Ze namen meer dan duizend planeten onder de loep en pasten een formule toe die onder andere dichtheid, temperatuur, samenstelling en afstand tot de centrale ster in rekening brengt. Met de informatie die dat opleverde, ontwikkelden ze de Biological Complexity Index (BCI). Eén à twee procent van de tien miljard planeten in de Melkweg had een BCI-score die hoger was dan 'Europa', een maan van Jupiter waarvan gedacht wordt dat die ondergrondse oceanen heeft die leven kunnen bevatten. Meercellige organismen De wetenschappers benadrukken dat hun studie niet aantoont dat er leven bestaat op zoveel planeten. Wel zijn de voorwaarden vervuld die complex leven mogelijk kunnen maken. "Complex leven betekent niet hetzelfde als intelligent leven, hoewel het niet uitgesloten is", zeggen de onderzoekers. "Het gaat om meercellige organismen, groter en complexer dan microben, in verschillende vormen."
Het lijkt dus erg onwaarschijnlijk dat we alleen zijn, zeggen de onderzoekers. Maar ondanks het grote aantal planeten dat mogelijk leven huisvest, is de Melkweg zo groot dat die planeten erg ver uit elkaar liggen. Een ontmoeting met buitenaardse wezens lijkt daardoor uitgesloten.
Het dichtsbijzijnde zonnestelsel dat mogelijk leven bevat, is Gliese 581. Het heeft twee planeten die schijnbaar complexe biosferen kunnen huisvesten. De afstand van de aarde tot Gliese 581 bedraagt ongeveer twintig lichtjaren.
Wetenschappers zijn hoopvol om in de zeer nabije toekomst buitenaards leven te vinden. Maar de kans dat dat intelligent leven zal zijn, is klein, zo klonk het ruim een week geleden tijdens een paneldiscussie in het NASA-hoofdkwartier. Onderzoekers van het Harvard-Smithsonian Center of Astrophysics hebben nu een slimme manier bedacht om op zoek te gaan naar buitenaardse beschavingen: "Zoek naar industriële vervuiling in de atmosfeer van andere planeten."
Met de nieuwste generatie telescopen kunnen wetenschappers in de atmosfeer van exoplaneten zoeken naar zuurstof en methaan, die erop wijzen dat er leven is. Maar ook eenvoudige levensvormen als microben produceren die gassen. Daarom is een nieuwe benadering vereist, vinden de astrofysici van Harvard-Smithsonian.
Uit hun onderzoek, dat binnenkort in het vakblad The Astrophysical Journal verschijnt, blijkt dat het onder ideale omstandigheden mogelijk moet zijn de ecologische vingerafdruk van buitenaardse wezens waar te nemen. De James Webb Space Telescope, die in 2018 in gebruik genomen wordt, kan twee soorten chloorfluorkoolstoffen detecteren. Dat zijn chemicaliën die gebruikt worden in onder andere spuitbussen en oplosmiddelen, en die de ozon vernietigen. Een kanttekening: om deze signalen te kunnen opvangen, zouden er minimaal tien keer zoveel ozonvernietigende stoffen in de atmosfeer moeten zweven als op onze Aarde.
Bezwaren Toch zijn er ook enkele bezwaren. "We beschouwen industriële vervuiling als een teken van intelligent leven", zegt onderzoeker Henry Lin, die de studie leidde. "Maar misschien zijn deze beschavingen al verder gevorderd dan wij, en zien zij vervuiling als een teken van onintelligent leven omdat het niet slim is je eigen lucht te vervuilen."
De telescoop kan bovendien enkel vervuilende stoffen zien op een Aarde-achtige planeet die rond een witte dwergster cirkelt, een ster aan het einde van zijn levensduur. In dat scenario zijn de signalen uit de atmosfeer optimaal. Om vervuiling te vinden op een Aarde-achtige planeet die om een zonachtige ster wentelt, zou een nog krachtiger telescoop nodig zijn.
Daarnaast kunnen sommige vervuilende stoffen 50.000 jaar in de atmosfeer blijven hangen. "Wanneer die stoffen aanwezig zijn, zou dat kunnen betekenen dat de buitenaardse wezens slimmer geworden zijn en schoon schip gemaakt hebben", zeggen de onderzoekers. "Of dat ze hun eigen beschaving vernietigd hebben. In dat laatste geval is het een waarschuwing voor ons om onze eigen planeet beter te beginnen beheren."
Na een reis van meer dan tien jaar komt de Europese sonde Rosetta woensdag aan bij de komeet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko met aan boord ook Belgisch instrumentarium en Belgische know-how, zo heeft het Belgisch Instituut voor Ruimte-Aëronomie (BIRA) vandaag meegedeeld.
De Rosetta van het Europees Ruimtevaartbureau ESA vertrok op 2 maart 2004 met een Ariane-raket en legde al meer dan 6,4 miljard km af. Technici hebben de snelheid van de onbemande sonde ondertussen afgeremd tot zowat 2.800 km per uur voor het rendez-vous tot 100 km afstand van de komeet. Bedoeling is informatie te vergaren over het gedrag en de samenstelling van het hemellichaam, wat meer moet leren over het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel.
Een komeet is een hemellichaam dat zich in een baan rond de Zon bevindt en enkele kilometer groot is. Een komeet kan gezien worden als een vuile sneeuwbal die ijs en stof bevat. Dicht bij de zon warmt deze vuile sneeuwbal op, zodat gas en stof vrijkomen, en een atmosfeer vormen. De typische komeetstaart ontstaat door de wisselwerking van dat gas en stof met de zon.
Haltervorm
Wetenschappers van het BIRA zijn vooral geïnteresseerd in de komeetatmosfeer. Daartoe heeft het federaal instituut op het plateau van Ukkel onder leiding van de universiteit van Bern en samen met andere internationale partners het ROSINA (Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis) instrument gebouwd. Dit zal de samenstelling van de komeetatmosfeer meten. De processen daar zijn ook belangrijk in de hoge aardatmosfeer.
Sinds eind juni 2014 stuurt Rosetta reeds beelden van de komeet door en die waren volgens het BIRA al een revelatie op zich: de komeet blijkt een haltervorm te hebben. Ondertussen kan men ook al lichtverstrooiing in de ijle komeetatmosfeer waarnemen.
Van industriële zijde zijn de Belgische bedrijven Thales Alenia Space Belgium, Amos, Nexans Harnesses, Logica, Spacebel en Rhea bij Rosetta betrokken.
De sonde zal later ook de lander Philae naar het komeetoppervlak sturen, een primeur in de ruimtevaart.
Mysterious sounds have been heard booming from the sky all around the world – in some cases they were so loud they set off car alarms. The unsettling noises were heard recently from Europe to Canada, sounding like groans and powerful horns. In Germany noises coming from the sky were recorded on a video camera and uploaded to YouTube, with car alarms clearly heard going off in the background.
Het mysterie van de langgerekte schedels uit Peru, Egypte en Europa
Het mysterie van de langgerekte schedels uit Peru, Egypte en Europa
Op begraafplaatsen overal ter wereld zijn langgerekte schedels gevonden. Veel zijn het resultaat van schedelvervorming, waarbij de schedel van vooral jonge kinderen werd vastgebonden om zijn vorm te veranderen en te verlengen. Een ander deel van de schedels is echter in mysterie gehuld. Is het mogelijk dat de misvormde schedels uit Paracas in Peru afkomstig zijn van een mensachtige soort die nog nooit is bestudeerd?
De vervormde schedels die aan de Peruaanse kust zijn gevonden, zijn gedateerd op 3000 tot 2000 jaar oud. Afgelopen februari is het eerste fragment van één van de schedels geanalyseerd door een geneticus, die concludeerde dat een aantal DNA-segmenten niet overeenkomen met het DNA van bekende mensachtige soorten uit het verleden.
Brien Foerster, assistent-directeur van het Historisch Museum in Paracas, heeft in de afgelopen jaren veel onderzoek gedaan naar langgerekte schedels. Volgens hem is vijf tot tien procent van de schedels het gevolg van opzettelijke schedelvervorming. Door het afbinden van de schedels blijft normaal gesproken een afgevlakt oppervlak achter op een deel van de schedel, maar sommige van de schedels die Foerster heeft gezien, ogen natuurlijk.
De schedel van Achnaton, één van de meest mysterieuze koningen van het oude Egypte, ziet er langgerekt uit. De Universiteit van Maryland organiseerde in 2008 een bijeenkomst om de theorieën over Achnaton te bespreken. Achnaton had niet alleen een langgerekte schedel, maar ook een lange nek, lange vingers, dikke dijen en een aantal vrouwelijke eigenschappen.
Irwin M. Braverman van de Yale-universiteit dacht dat Achnaton aan craniosynostose leed, wat slaat op voortijdige vergroeiing van schedelnaden. In de oude geschriften is niets te vinden over schedelvervorming in Egypte, maar toch staan ook de kinderen van Achnaton afgebeeld met een langgerekte schedel.
De vooraanstaande Canadese egyptoloog en archeoloog Donald B. Redford zei dat de vervormingen van Achnaton mogelijk zijn ontstaan na het derde jaar van zijn heerschappij, toen hij zonnegod Aton begon te aanbidden.
Schedelvervorming is wellicht door de Hunnen binnen Europa verspreid. Onderzoekers van de Universiteit van Debrecen in Hongarije publiceerden in april een studie in het Journal of Neurosurgery over langgerekte schedels die gevonden zijn in de Karpaten.
De onderzoekers zeiden dat de Hunnen het vervormen van schedels weer hadden overgenomen van de Alanen en de Turken. Zij kunnen dus niet worden gezien als de bedenkers van deze traditie. De onderzoekers schreven: “Het lijkt erop dat dit gebruik voor het eerst op de steppegrond van Kalmukkië is verschenen en zich door de migratie van de Hunnen via de Krim heeft verspreid naar Centraal- en West-Europa. Er is geen bewijs gevonden dat schedelvervorming resulteerde in chronische neurologische aandoeningen.”
UFO mania: Retired US soldier claims he has spent 17 years battling ALIENS on Mars
UFO mania: Retired US soldier claims he has spent 17 years battling ALIENS on Mars
A FORMER US marine has sensationally claimed that he has spent nearly a decade battling ALIENS on Mars.
The ex marine, who goes by the name of Captain Kaye, says that there are five human colonies on the Red Planet and he has spent 17 years fighting to protect them.
Serving in a space fleet known as the Earth Defense Force – that recruited military personnel from countries like America, Russia and China – the one-time ex-naval infantryman was trainee to fly a variety of bombers and Star Wars-style space fighters.
He then spent his time protecting the colonies from martians, who presumably wanted to take over and make the planet their own.
Captain Kaye's incredible testimony to ExoNews TV doesn't end with Mars, either.
Spacecraft training apparently took place on the MOON, as well as on Saturn's moon Titan and even in deep space.
His retirement ceremony after 20 years of service also took place on the moon, with guests including ex US Scretary of Defence Donald Rumsfield.
We know you're all laughing now – but what if he's telling the TRUTH?
Starship Troopers had to be based on something, after all...

Après les trous sur terre, en voici de nouveaux! Je ne sais pas si ces informations sont crédibles. A chacun de se faire son opinion.
De nombreuses grottes et galeries souterraines ont récemment été mises en évidence sur le sol lunaire grâce à la sonde LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbitery) de la NASA.
À en croire les dires de l'agence spatiale, ces cavités pourraient bien trouver toute leur utilité lors des prochaines missions habitées à destination de notre satellite naturel.. Alors que l'on pensait pratiquement tout savoir de la Lune, une récente découverte réalisée par la NASA est venue nous montrer que cet astre n'avait décidément pas fini de nous étonner.
En effet, la sonde Lunar Reconnaissance Orbitery (LRO) a mis en exergue le fait que certains des cratères caractéristiques de notre satellite seraient en fait reliés à des réseaux de grottes et de galeries souterraines.
Ainsi, en scannant seulement 40% de la surface de la Lune, la sonde aurait déjà mis en évidence pas moins de 200 de ces entrées mesurant entre 5 et 900 mètres de diamètre.
Il y a donc de fortes probabilités pour que de nombreuses autres cavités de ce type soient découvertes en analysant la portion restante du satellite. Une intense chaleur probablement à l'origine de ces formations Bien qu'il n'existe pas encore de réelle certitude quant à l'origine de ces grottes et galeries, l'hypothèse la plus probable serait qu'elles aient été formées suite à des impacts de météorites.
Les chocs auraient été si intenses que la chaleur ainsi engendrée aurait permis de faire fondre la roche qui se serait ensuite écoulée en creusant des galeries. Les vibrations causées par les impacts auraient quant à elles permis au sol de s'effondrer à certains endroits, laissant apparaître ces fameuses cavités repérées par la sonde LRO.
Des perspectives offertes dans le cadre d'une future mission habitée sur la Lune
Pour les scientifiques de la Nasa, ces grottes et galeries seraient un véritable atout pour les éventuelles futures missions lunaires habitées.
Elles offriraient effectivement une protection aux astronautes contre les rayonnements cosmiques et les chutes de météorites.
