“Aliens Are Making Contact With Us NOW” Declares Snowden

A man very much in the know?

Edward Snowden, the NSA Whistleblower who is currently living in isolation in Russia called in to Startalk Podcast to make some rather sensational/exciting claims!

He has claimed that Alien Beings are trying to make contact now and there is NO denying this fact. Snowden made the interesting statement whilst living in Isolation in Russia after a critical leak of information reference the way that the government agencies monitor and use our personal information.

Snowden called into Neil deGrasse Tyson’s StarTalk podcast to make the brave statement about Aliens contacting earth.

It's a busy universe out there!

Edward Snowden said:

“So if you have an an alien civilization trying to listen for other civilizations, or our civilization trying to listen for aliens, there’s only one small period in the development of their society when all of their communication will be sent via the most primitive and most unprotected means.

“So when we think about everything that we’re hearing through our satellites or everything that they’re hearing from our civilization (if there are indeed aliens out there), all of their communications are encrypted by default.

“So what we are hearing, that’s actually an alien television show or you know a phone call… is indistinguishable to us from cosmic microwave background radiation.”

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE INTERESTING INTERVIEW BELOW:

https://soundcloud.com/startalk

The Former NSA employee has been in hiding in Russia since the major leak of information that was initially published in the Guardian newspaper a little while ago. Snowden has confirmed that he has been threatened on numerous occasions by US officials and is fearful about what could happen to him if he ever returned back to his homeland – He has obviously touched quite a few nerves within the US Administration!

Putin clearly feels that Snowden is a useful ally to have on side living in his country. Interesting how there is also a lot of talk about UFO’s and Alien contact in Russia nowadays, who knows perhaps Snowden knows EVEN MORE than he makes out.

Putin appears to have a great interest in Extra-terrestrial life these days!?

U.I.P SUMMARY – Mr Snowden is a man that is actually rather respected around the world by truth Seekers, and I believe the reason he is respected so much is because he has pretty much gave up everything, including a well paid job and a stunning Girlfriend (please see image below) all for telling US the truth about what is really going on!
Left behind: Lindsay Mills, girlfriend of whistleblower Edward Snowden

Left behind: Lindsay Mills, girlfriend of whistleblower Edward Snowden

This is not a man who appears to want fame, he has pretty much gave up everything in order to unite the world and educate us about what the US Government are supposedly lying to us about.

Edward went into hiding in Hong Kong back in 2013, and was then immediately straight after granted asylum in Russia, where he continues to live to this day.

Mr Snowden claims that the US Government have made an example of him, saying how he has been treated as “a warning to all others who might speak out as I have”.

It is clear that Mr Snowden may actually know EVEN MORE than what he makes out, so here is hoping that we will be hearing and seeing more evidence about the Extra-terrestrial Beings.

Who knows…..Perhaps Mr Snowden is going to help assist RUSSIA with Disclosure!? Just imagine what the US Government would think of that – perhaps this is what they are scared of! With tensions high between the US and Russia at the moment, now would be a perfect time for Russia to tell us the truth about Alien life beyond planet earth.

Temple Professor Claims Aliens Have Abducted Millions of Humans

No need to look to the stars in our search for extraterrestrial life; aliens might already be here among us on Earth...Or at least that's what retired Professor David M. Jacobs thinks.

According to Jacobs, extraterrestrial beings have been abducting and sexually molesting humans the world over for aeons, all to create a hybrid race of alien-humans who walk the earth unnoticed but will eventually take over the planet.

But Jacobs isn't your typical UFOlogist. Tenured for 36 years as a Professor of American History at Temple University, Jacobs is a 71 year old intellectual-type who, according to Philly.com makes his case with "well-reasoned, articulate explanations and applies scholarly approach to his research which he has shared in four books- printed by well-known and academic publishers."

Jacobs says he is well aware of the stigma that surrounds Ufology."I knew that it was embarrassing to the university," says Jacobs of his stance on UFOs. "I was not rewarded for my views [...] But you do not often find yourself in the middle of a phenomenon that allows you to make a contribution to something that could be of unsurpassing importance in human history," Jacob adds.

"What I'm doing will either be an interesting but nonessential footnote to popular culture or the most important thing that's ever happened to humankind. I see it as the latter," explains Jacob.

Jacobs claims his evidence is solid, collected primarily from the 150 abductees that he has interviewed over the years. He claims that these abductees independently report similar experiences, recalling common details of intense eye-contact, and neurological scanning. Based on researching this small sample, Jacobs has drawn the conclusion that the number of abductees across the world numbers in the millions.

Jacobs details some of his other conclusions to Philly.com's Dana Difilippo, stating, among other things, that the families of some abductees reported seeing their loved ones simply disappearing into thin air. Other findings included the discovery of mysterious scar tissue on the bodies of abductees and groups of people recalling the same mass-abduction events despite never having seen each other before.

Contact In The Desert - David Jacobs - New Findings In Abduction Research

UFO and Alien Abductions Interview with Dr David Jacobs. ARE THEY REAL?

Jacobs, who claims to never have actually witnessed a UFO or Alien abduction himself, began his journey into Ufology as a college student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the 1970s. After running into some interesting literature about Aliens and UFOs, he decided to change his dissertation from the portrayal of women in pre-1915 films to the UFO controversy in America.

But what began with what he used to think was "the most amazing, wowee, gee-whiz thing," quickly escalated into the realm of reality for him. "[T]he more I learn about it, the more I fear it, the more I don't want to have anything to do with it," Jacob now reflects.

"This is a clandestine phenomenon," Jacobs said. "There is one thing that I can say for sure: They don't want us to know what they're doing - because what they're doing benefits them and not us."

For more on Jacobs and his work, check out his organization, The International Center for Abduction Research. You can read Difilippo's full right-up of her conversation with Jacobs, here

Former Obama Pilot Admits To Alien Encounter And Says ‘Virtually All’ Aviators Believe In UFOs

Former Obama Pilot Admits To Alien Encounter And Says 'Virtually All' Aviators Believe In UFOs

According to the man who flew US president Barack Obama during his 2008 campaign tour, virtually all pilots believe in UFOs.

Andrew Danziger, a veteran pilot with 28 years of experience in the cockpit has also admitted he’s had his own brush with the unexplained.

The American pilot says he saw a white disc flying through the sky during a standard flight between Kansas and Iowa in April 1989. The white disc then changed into a “giant red ball” and glowed for about 30 seconds before disappearing into the clouds.

According to Danziger, both he and the captain who was also in the cockpit saw the spooky alien craft for about 40 minutes before it began to change color and disappeared.

“It looked similar to the moon faintly visible though thin fog, except the two were visible at the same time on opposite sides of our cockpit,” Danziger told the New York Daily News.

“While neither of us had any idea what we had saw one thing we were certain of, it wasn’t from here,” he said.
He says that when he reported the sighting, he was told that many pilots often spotunidentified flying objects while traversing the skies.

“We knew through the grapevine that pilots weren’t supposed to talk about UFOs so we swore the station agent on duty to secrecy and agreed not to talk about our incident to any of our co-workers.”

But Danziger is sure that he isn’t the only airman to have spotted an unexplained craft in the skies.

“I’m not going too far out on a ledge to say that virtually all pilots believe in UFOs,” he said

Brothers Witness A Cloaking Triangle Over Minnesota

(Before It's News)

BROTHERS WITNESS A CLOAKING TRIANGLE OVER MINNESOTA

OCTOBER 11, 2015 ………… ROCHESTER MINNESOTA

On Sunday October 11, 2015 it was a beautiful, warm, cloudless day. I went for a bike ride with my brother. We went to the Douglas Trail which starts in Rochester, MN and ends in Pine Island, MN. 13 miles each way. At about 10 mile in we were being followed by a large brown hawk. This hawk was acting crazy and would not leave us alone. We finally stopped and the hawk hovered about 30 feet above us. He was catching the wind and was staring at us.

We thought he was going to attack us. I have never seen or heard of a hawk doing this sort of behavior. We did nothing to provoke him. After about 30 seconds he flew off. We kept our eye on him until he was a distance away. We were just about to start our ride again when I looked up above the hawk in the distance and saw a white orb. The orb was way up high. It was a total cloudless day so it was the only thing in the entire sky. I looked at it for about 10 seconds then it started to grow in size. It changed it’s shape and became a large triangle craft. It was transparent but the sunlight reflected off it. It looked like glass. With the sunlight you could see it’s depth and it’s dimensions. Then it shot across the entire sky at an insane speed. It went from the western horizon to the eastern horizon in 1 second flat. A vast distance. It had to be traveling at thousands of miles per hour. It then stopped instantly. I yelled at my brother to look up. He saw it when it stopped and reached for his phone to take a picture. The object then blinked and shrank until it was gone. There was no time to get a picture. From the time it grew and went across the sky to the time it stopped and disappeared was only about 5 seconds. There was not enough reaction time to get a picture. After the sighting we continued our bike ride and witnessed no more actively.

Real life Star Wars? ‘Millennium Falcon’ UFOs snapped beaming across skies

BIZARRE UFOs that resemble the Star Wars Millennium Falcon have been photographed separately in north and central America.

By Jon Austin

CGI image of Millennium Falcon plus (insets) the two UFOs

The first sighting of a strange series of lights, up to 180 metres across, was said to have resembled the back of the fictional Rebel Alliance craft while in flight.

It was seen by four people on Cony Island, near New York, and has been reported to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) official database.

Roger Marsh, of UFO website Openminds.tv, said: "A New York street photographer driving to Coney Island reported capturing a disc-shaped object while taking ‘rapid fire images’ of a bridge.

"The witness was with three friends on their way to pick up another friend."

The photographer, who has not been named, said: "I always carry my camera with me. At the time I shot with a Fujifilm XT1 and had it on machine gun mode for rapid shots.

"We were passing by the bridge as I decided to just rapid fire some shots of the bridge free hand and I did not have my eye sight in my view finder.

The UFO snapped over Cody Island

  They don't half look like the Millennium Falcon before it blasts into warp speed.

"What caught my attention was a sudden string flash at the corner of my eye, kind of like lightening but in the distance. At that moment I took my finger off the shutter and reviewed my photos from the rapid fire when I came across the object.”

The witness does not believe the object was visible for very long.

He added: “The object moved at such speed that I only had it in the frames for about maybe a second or two. It’s also moved from the front of the bridge to out of the frame in that small amount of time.”

MUFON New York State section director Lillian Waters and field investigator John Reinhart investigated the case, filing a report stating: “Although not visible to the naked eye, one picture revealed a disc-like object with a dome shaped top.

“The object was very large – possibly 300 feet in diameter – and appeared to have bright yellow-orange external lights.”

A more recent image was captured on October 10 in the sky above the Tenayuca Pyramid in Mexico.

Another elongated object which appears to have a light at the rear is seen in the sky near what looks like a plane.

One viewer of both "UFOs" said: "They don't half look like the Millennium Falcon before it blasts into warp speed."

Here are the 5 most convincing signs that aliens have visited Earth

Credit: Metro

Most of the time, aliens descend from the sky (with or without anal probes) at moments when there’s just about no one around – or (usually) one absolute weirdo, who survives to tell the tale.

But a few times, the little green men have let their guard down.

A discussion on Reddit compiled people’s most convincing ‘proofs’ that we have been visited by extraterrestrials.

Most of these will – at the very least – make you wonder….

‘On Wednesday, May 9th, 2001, over twenty military, intelligence, government, corporate and scientific witnesses came forward at the National Press Club in Washington, DC to provide their insight into ‘UFOs’.’

There’s some real heavyweights there, too – watch.

One of the most well-documented military encounters with a UFO, this encounter saw two F-4 Phantom II jets losing control of communication and weapons systems as they approached a weird object in the sky over Iran.

Several military officers voiced the opinion that the object was not of terrestrial origin – and it was taken seriously enough that the President was informed.

3) Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon

Mitchell, who piloted the Apollo 14 landing module, has spoken regularly about his belief in aliens.

He claims that peace-loving aliens ‘stepped in’ during early tests of nuclear weapons, to prevent a nuclear war between America and Russia.

Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, claims that high-ranking military officials saw UFOs during weapons tests in the White Sands desert in New Mexico.

4) The Battle of Los Angeles

A rumoured enemy attack in 1942 led to air raid sirens and a huge anti-aircraft barrage – but then the authorities said it was all a false alarm.

Leaked photos, though, seemed to show lights and weapons trained on an actual alien spacecraft – and UFOlogists claim it was an attack by extraterrestrials.

5) The Westfall UFO Incident

This is one UFO encounter that’s hard to dismiss – because it happened at 11am, lasted 20 minutes, and was witnessed by 200 students and staff from a school in Westfall, Australia.

Reports have attempted to explain the encounter as being with a military target balloon or an experimental aircraft, but it has never been fully ‘solved’.

(Very) Local SETI: The Launch of a New UFO Science

Last July, Russian billionaire Yuri Milner announced the launch of a bold $100 million project "to reinvigorate the search for life in the universe." The amplified SETI initiative is "the most powerful, comprehensive and intensive scientific search ever undertaken for signs of intelligent life beyond Earth," according to the project's website.

"The chance of finding life has risen a billion-fold when we realized that Earth-like planets are not rare, but that there are literally billions of them just within our own galaxy," Astronomer Royal Lord Martin Rees stated at the time. Noting that the payoff could be "colossal," he wondered whether alien life to be discovered could be organic, or maybe "machines created by long long-dead civilizations."

PHL @ UPR Arecibo (phil.upr.edu) July 23, 2015

As someone who has studied official UFO/UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) documentation for many years, I was naturally inspired -- even elated -- by this announcement. But at the same time, I couldn't help relating it to my all too keen awareness of the taboo against taking UFOs seriously, despite the obvious relationship of UFO phenomena to the quest for finding extraterrestrial life. After all, couldn't some UFOs be the machines that Rees referred to? And must they belong only to dead civilizations?

There is no sign that Milner's team will include our own solar system among the many others that it will search for signs of intelligent life. Most scientists have repeatedly stated that whatever data (if any) we have on UFOs are insufficient for study. Yet, as I made clear in my book UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record, there is plenty of evidence for the existence of unexplained aerial phenomena, and some governments (such as France and Chile), in cooperation with their own scientific teams, have made this a matter of official record.

Even so, the larger, multi-disciplinary search for extraterrestrial intelligence, seeking even the tiniest and most wide ranging clues, has never given a nod to this "forbidden realm" of intriguing, highly suggestive evidence -- in fact, it has been completely ignored. And at the same time, SETI has yet to find any evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence in its effort to detect radio signals or light from distant locations "that would reveal the presence of technically sophisticated beings," as SETI describes it.

But now, for the first time, a new group of scientists and other professionals is determined to change this outdated and unbalanced scenario, once and for all. Yes, we do need more scientific data on UFOs -- but who is going to provide it?

In October 2013, I attended a meeting led by Mark Rodeghier, scientific director of the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies, and political scientist Alexander Wendt, whom some of you might recognize as a co-author of the chapter "Militant Agnosticism and the UFO Taboo" from my book, to solidify a new, rigorously scientific approach to the UFO problem. Rodeghier and Wendt have since formed a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization called UFO Detection and TrAcking (UFODATA for short), which includes an international team of scientists and engineers with an interest in UFOs, including (among others) Massimo Teodorani, Dave Akers and Erling Strand, as well as several academic "silent partners" who do not want to be publicly identified. "We are establishing this project out of frustration with the impasse that the UFO debate has been at for over sixty years," Wendt says.

I acknowledge my own current involvement: I accepted Rodeghier and Wendt's invitation to join their Board of Directors, along with Philippe Ailleris, Project Controller at the Space Research and Technology Centre of the European Space Agency.

Please see UFODATA's website -- just launched today -- for more details.

The organization has one goal and one goal only: to design, build and deploy a global network of automated surveillance stations that will monitor the skies full time looking for UFOs. UFODATA has no interest in alleged government conspiracies or adding more witness reports or FOIA documents to the thousands already on file. The idea here is that only a complete change of methodology toward a purely scientific approach to the UFO issue will enable us to move forward.

The monitoring stations, of which UFODATA eventually hopes to have dozens, will contain a suite of sophisticated instruments that will record numerous physical characteristics of any UFOs that appear in their range. They will all send their data back to a central location. Current projections are that the stations will cost about $10-20,000 each, thanks to the unprecedented convergence of high resolution digital camera technologies, off-the shelf scientific instrumentation, powerful low-cost computing platforms and far-reaching high-speed internet access. (More information about the instruments and science involved can be found on the site.)

UFODATA will rely on crowd funding to finance the stations, allowing the millions of people who take UFOs seriously to be involved in the effort, independent of the scientific establishment. Some supporters may wish to host a station in their own location or offer their expertise to the organization.

The campaign will unfold in two phases initially. First, it will focus on filling gaps in its volunteer technical staff and on raising enough money by word of mouth to build a prototype station. This prototype will serve as a technical testbed, providing concrete evidence of capabilities to support Phase Two, which will launch the formal crowd-funding campaign. Phase Two will have a larger financial target, to fulfill the objective of building a small but fully functioning network of stations which will begin collecting data and also attract additional media, scientific and public attention to support further network development.

"Are we really alone? Or are there others out there? It's one of the biggest questions," the Milner announcement reads. "And only science can answer it." We completely agree. Rodeghier points out that we are simply taking SETI to its logical limit -- local SETI. "Several researchers interested in the conventional search for ET have pushed the boundaries to suggest that it is not misguided to search in the solar system, including around the moon, for ET artifacts or other evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence," he says. "But they have rejected looking in near-Earth orbit. Logically this prohibition makes no sense, and so with UFODATA we will also break the taboo of searching for signs of ET right here, not just millions of kilometers away."

He points out that SETI has spent huge amounts of money over fifty years with no success. "Why not, in comparison, take a few years with modest funding to study UFO evidence close to home?"

Short of US government recognition that UAP are worthy of investigation, I believe that this grassroots initiative is the best effort we can make to move toward a rational answer to the UFO question. Ironically, sidestepping government to study UFOs in this way could also ultimately help win respect for the issue within the political (as well as scientific) establishment. UFODATA should appeal to those who are tired of the misplaced certainties on both sides of the UFO debate -- conspiracy theorists convinced that UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft and debunkers equally convinced that UFOs don't even exist. Precisely because so little science has been done on UFOs, humanity is actually quite ignorant about what they are. This is a unique moment for something radically different, with the potential to unite all of us in a pivotal, larger goal. We now have the opportunity to elevate UFO investigations so that they become part of the larger scientific search for extraterrestrial life and will eventually be recognized as such by the world community.

For now, we remain agnostic about the nature and origin of UFOs. However, "whether or not we find any ETs, this will constitute a radical breakthrough in both the study and status of the UFO problem," says Wendt. "And if it does turn up any ETs, well, that would be one of the most important events in human history..."

Vreemde lichten/objecten  voor Belgische kust.

Vanuit een casino aan de Belgische kust worden een aantal foto’s genomen die niet alleen prachtig zijn om te zien, maar waar merkwaardige dingen op voorkomen.

Deze opnames zijn wel echt, in tegenstelling tot de vreemde UFO in China wat een photoshop exemplaar blijkt te zijn.

Tegenwoordig is, zeker op internet, lang niet alles wat het lijkt en zijn er ook meer en meer mensen die UFO-opnames vervalsen. De reden is uiteraard vaak dat wanneer ze het goed doen dit potentiëel behoorlijk wat geld kan opleveren in reclameinkomsten via bijvoorbeeld Youtube.

Gisteren publiceerden we een artikel over een vreemd object dat zou zijn gefotografeerd in China. Echt of niet, wij weten het niet, maar we zijn afgegaan op het verhaal dat erbij wordt verteld door een Engelse krant.

De foto’s zouden zijn genomen door een groep toeristen op een rondvaartboot. Wat blijkt echter? De foto’s zijn niet echt.

Volgens een lezer:

Ondertussen opnieuw de China UFO onderzocht en het blijkt photoshopped te zijn. Als je alle 3 de foto´s bekijkt zie je dat op elke foto dezelfde wolken partij op dezelfde plaats staat, wat op zich onmogelijk is als het een bewegende ufo zou zijn geweest.

Een lezeres uit België, waarvan wij aannemen dat wat zij zegt ook inderdaad zo is, stuurde ons mooie beelden (dank!).

Zij schrijft het volgende:

Op 21 september 2015 zat ik in het casino van Middelkerke op de zee en het strand uitte kijken. Ik nam foto's van de zee. Er was niets speciaal te zien.

Thuis kijk ik mijn foto's op de computer en zie een verschijning in de lucht. Er kan geen reflectie van de raam zijn, omdat ik mijn fototoestel op 5 cm van de raam hield. Ik stuur u beide foto's door.

Ze heeft inderdaad twee prachtige foto’s bijgesloten.

Op de eerste zie je linksboven een cirkelvormige formatie van UFO’s/lichten.

Hier het deel linksboven wat verder uitvergroot:

In de tweede foto zie je rechtsboven als je goed kijkt, twee cirkelvormige objecten of formaties.

Voor alle duidelijkheid is de rechterbovenhoek van de laatste foto hier wat verder uitvergroot.

Een reflectie in het raam van een object in het casino zoals een kroonluchter aan het plafond dat weerkaatst in het glas lijkt hier uitgesloten omdat ze de camera enkele centimeters van het glas hield.

Waar het echter wel veel op lijkt is op de UFO die ongeveer een jaar geleden boven de Amerikaanse stad Houston werd waargenomen en waar wij een artikel over schreven.

Een vreemd cirkelvorming object boven de stad die Houston toen dagenlang in de grip hield en waar zover bij ons bekend, nooit een verklaring voor is gevonden.

Is er voor de Belgische kust sprake van eenzelfde fenomeen of is er een andere verklaring voor?

Alien technology spotted orbiting a distant star, Oct 2015, UFO Sighting News.

News source: http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/10/the-most-interesting-star-in-our-galaxy/410023/?utm_source=SFFB
Date of news: Oct 14, 2015

News states:
Astronomers have spotted a strange mess of objects whirling around a distant star. Scientists who search for extraterrestrial civilizations are scrambling to get a closer look.

In the Northern hemisphere’s sky, hovering above the Milky Way, there are two constellations—Cygnus the swan, her wings outstretched in full flight, and Lyra, the harp that accompanied poetry in ancient Greece, from which we take our word “lyric.” Between these constellations sits an unusual star, invisible to the naked eye, but visible to the Kepler Space Telescope, which stared at it for more than four years, beginning in 2009.

The Tomorrow Report Ideas from a changing world Read more “We’d never seen anything like this star,” says Tabetha Boyajian, a postdoc at Yale. “It was really weird. We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out.” Kepler was looking for tiny dips in the light emitted by this star. Indeed, it was looking for these dips in more than 150,000 stars, simultaneously, because these dips are often shadows cast by transiting planets. Especially when they repeat, periodically, as you’d expect if they were caused by orbiting objects.

The Kepler Space Telescope collected a great deal of light from all of those stars it watched. So much light that Kepler’s science team couldn’t process it all with algorithms. They needed the human eye, and human cognition, which remains unsurpassed in certain sorts of pattern recognition. Kepler’s astronomers decided to found Planet Hunters, a program that asked “citizen scientists” to examine light patterns emitted by the stars, from the comfort of their own homes.

In 2011, several citizen scientists flagged one particular star as “interesting” and “bizarre.” The star was emitting a light pattern that looked stranger than any of the others Kepler was watching. The light pattern suggests there is a big mess of matter circling the star, in tight formation. That would be expected if the star were young. When our solar system first formed, four and a half billion years ago, a messy disk of dust and debris surrounded the sun, before gravity organized it into planets, and rings of rock and ice. But this unusual star isn’t young. If it were young, it would be surrounded by dust that would give off extra infrared light. There doesn’t seem to be an excess of infrared light around this star. It appears to be mature. And yet, there is this mess of objects circling it. A mess big enough to block a substantial number of photons that would have otherwise beamed into the tube of the Kepler Space Telescope.

If blind nature deposited this mess around the star, it must have done so recently. Otherwise, it would be gone by now. Gravity would have consolidated it, or it would have been sucked into the star and swallowed, after a brief fiery splash. “It looked like the kind of thing you might expect an alien civilization to build.” Boyajian, the Yale Postdoc who oversees Planet Hunters, recently published a paper describing the star’s bizarre light pattern.

Several of the citizen scientists are named as co-authors. The paper explores a number of scenarios that might explain the pattern—instrument defects; the shrapnel from an asteroid belt pileup; an impact of planetary scale, like the one that created our moon. The paper finds each explanation wanting, save for one. If another star had passed through the unusual star’s system, it could have yanked a sea of comets inward. Provided there were enough of them, the comets could have made the dimming pattern. But that would be an extraordinary coincidence, if that happened so recently, only a few millennia before humans developed the tech to loft a telescope into space. That’s a narrow band of time, cosmically speaking. And yet, the explanation has to be rare or coincidental. After all, this light pattern doesn’t show up anywhere else, across 150,000 stars. We know that something strange is going on out there.

When I spoke to Boyajian on the phone, she explained that her recent paper only reviews “natural” scenarios. “But,” she said, there were “other scenarios” she was considering. Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University, is set to publish an alternative interpretation of the light pattern.

SETI researchers have long suggested that we might be able to detect distant extraterrestrial civilizations, by looking for enormous technological artifacts orbiting other stars. Wright and his co-authors say the unusual star’s light pattern is consistent with a “swarm of megastructures,” perhaps stellar-light collectors, technology designed to catch energy from the star. “When [Boyajian] showed me the data, I was fascinated by how crazy it looked,” Wright told me. “Aliens should always be the very last hypothesis you consider, but this looked like something you would expect an alien civilization to build.”

Boyajian is now working with Wright and Andrew Siemion, the Director of the SETI Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley. The three of them are writing up a proposal. They want to point a massive radio dish at the unusual star, to see if it emits radio waves at frequencies associated with technological activity. If they see a sizable amount of radio waves, they’ll follow up with the Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, which may be able to say whether the radio waves were emitted by a technological source, like those that waft out into the universe from Earth’s network of radio stations.

Assuming all goes well, the first observation would take place in January, with the follow-up coming next fall. If things go really well, the follow-up could happen sooner. “If we saw something exciting, we could ask the director for special allotted time on the VLA,” Wright told me. “And in that case, we’d be asking to go on right away.” In the meantime, Boyajian, Siemion, Wright, the citizen scientists, and the rest of us, will have to content ourselves with longing looks at the sky, aimed between the swan and the lyre, where maybe, just maybe, someone is looking back, and seeing the sun dim ever so slightly, every 365 days.

History Channel, Season 8 Episode 8
28th August 2015

Over 10,000 crop circles have been reported worldwide, appearing in 50 different countries, and nearly every continent on Earth. These strange designs pressed into crop fields range from simple circles to elaborate pictograms thousand of feet long. The phenomenon has been associated with scientific anomalies, strange lights, and even UFO activity. But critics say that they are all part of an elaborate hoax. But are they? Crop circles have been making modern headlines since the 1960’s, but their history can be traced back hundreds–if not thousands of years. The designs themselves often contain encrypted messages and complex mathematical, geometric, and astronomical equations that perplex our top mathematicians and scientists. Ancient Astronaut Theorist, Giorgio Tsoukalos travels to England to meet with researchers and scientists to investigate the phenomenon both on the ground and in the lab to find out what we haven’t been told.

Former Worker of NASA Claims To Have Seen Human Figures Walking On Martian Surface In 1979

man on mars

Claiming to be a former NASA employee, a woman said she has seen proof of the biggest cover-up in space history in 1979. She claims to have seen two human figures in space suits walked calmly towards the Viking lander (the older version of today’s Mars Curiosity Rover) in the Martian surface.

Coast to Coast AM in America received a call this year from Jackie, who asked the presenter to investigate a 27-year-old mystery for her.

Jackie said she handled downlink telemetry from the lander for NASA when she noticed two people walking on the surface.

She said the Viking rover was running around while she and six colleagues were observing on multiple screens. Then she saw two men in space suits, which were not bulky but looked protective. These men came over the horizon walking towards the Viking Explorer.

What Jackie and her colleagues had witnessed seemed a little odd considering that if humans were there, they could just fill the lander with petrol or take photographs themselves instead.

To Jackie’s estimate, there were around half a dozen of them downstairs working to maintain the equipment. Then their video feed was cut off.

They ran upstairs, but the mysterious men locked the door and covered it with paper so Jackie and her colleagues could not see. Jackie has been wondering if those were their guys.

Conspiracy theorists claim there were secret landings on the Red Planet in the Sixties, and the Apollo landings were just a cover-up for wider solar system exploration.

John Lear, the former CIA pilot, claims that NASA made a landing on Mars in 1966 and that humans adapted to breath the thin atmosphere of the planet.

However, it is important also to note that Lear thinks human souls travel to the moon when they die and processed inside a mile-high glass tower. Lear also believes that the toxic, crushingly dense Venus is green and beautiful.

The Haynes UFO Investigations Manual author, Nigel Watson, says these reports or claims of secret space missions appear to be growing in number and remind him of the infamous Project Serpo.

An anonymous man claimed in November 2005 that they worked for the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and started sending information on Project Serpo, an alien exchange programme.

He said that six aliens were retrieved from the Roswell crash.

Ancient Aliens: Creatures of the Deep
History Channel, Season 8 Episode 7
4th September 2015

In August of 2014, Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station discovered something incredibly unexpected covering parts of the windows–living sea plankton. If sea life can thrive in space, might the reverse be true as well? Might there be alien life forms that inhabit our seas? Throughout history, there have been tales of strange creatures hiding in Earth’s waters. While many discount stories of sea monsters as purely mythological, it is estimated that Earth’s oceans are home to between 700,000 to one million species–and shockingly, two-thirds of those species still remain unknown. Considering the recent discovery that some sea life can survive in outer space, is it possible that tales of giant creatures like the Kraken and The Loch Ness Monster are evidence of extraterrestrial entities taking refuge beneath the seas?

Increasing Appearance of UFOs In The ISS Creates Speculation Of Secret NASA Tests

nasa-ufos

Mysterious unidentified flying objects (UFOs), said to have captured on video by NASA live cameras on ISS, have brought a lot of views and comments, especially in YouTube and paranormal websites. The ISS has been in orbit 250 miles above Earth and housed six astronauts.

The so-called UFOs have increased in numbers so much that leads conspiracists to speculate that they may be evidence of secret tests performed by NASA.

The latest of this kind has been recorded on October 1 and featured a glowing object moving towards the space station, but at a distance below its orbit.

Conspiracists think the object could be an alien UFO or a top secret project of NASA. The slow movement baffles them so much.

An earlier video posted to YouTube on 17th of September seems to show another glowing object moving alongside the ISS. Three days earlier, YouTube username White Horse USA uploaded a video to the video sharing site showing an orb UFO, which the ISS seemed to pass under.

On September 13, on the day before White Horse USA posted his video, Streetcap1 posted another one titled “ISS Camera Spots 3 satellites/UFOs/sprites.” According to Streetcap1, he’s hesitant to call them aliens because it’s possible they are part of a secret space tests or projects in the upper atmosphere.

On September 11, a UFO appeared to be caught when the light flashes hit it just right. It looks to be around 125-175 cm away from the station, so it is not too far away. Some conspiracists speculated that this UFO has an orb drone to collect data for it.

Ancient Aliens: The Other Earth
History Channel, Season 8 Episode 6
28th August 2015

Billions of dollars have been spent in our quest to find an “other Earth.” Since the launch of the Kepler Telescope in 2009, scientists have identified thousands of planets capable of supporting life. Is it possible that this discovery finally answers the age-old question: “Are we alone in the universe?” Could it be that just as we seek out other habitable planets, advanced extraterrestrials from distant galaxies did the same with Earth in the remote past? Throughout world mythologies, there are tales of beings from the stars coming down to Earth. The Dogon tribe in Africa believes their gods came from the Sirius star system. The Maya associated their gods with the Pleiades star cluster. And according to the Hopi tradition, life itself was seeded by celestial beings. Ancient Astronaut theorists propose that not only has our planet been visited by extraterrestrials, but that they are responsible for our very existence.

Black UFO Releases Smaller Craft Over Atlanta, Georgia

ufo-georgia

An aircraft releases a smaller object, which then disappears into thin air. The strange sighting took place on September 13, 2015, in Atlanta, Georgia. The aerial activity’s video has attracted more than 170,000 views. Just like any other claimed UFO videos, there are some debunkers saying it’s fabricated. But debunkers are to be expected after the release of this kind of video.

The video is heavily edited to cut down on the extended periods of still frame images. The video footage was then inserted before the still frames.

Black in appearance, the craft appeared to be a curved ship. It appeared from the clouds, hovered, then discharged a smaller object. After the smaller object had fallen a short distance from the mothership, it disappeared into thin air.

The bizarre aerial activity was uploaded to YouTube with pictures and a video. There’s a link in the comment section that directs to a very clear picture. The one who uploaded the video promises an update, but as of October 14, 2015, there have been no updates to it. The video can be viewed at below and the Twitter still image can be accessed at https://twitter.com/SecureTeam10/status/643528855475605504.

Anomalous megastructures found in space: Researchers detect Megastructures built by Aliens around a distant Star?

Astronomers have spotted something really freaky surrounding a distant star thanks to NASA’s Kepler Space telescope.

The Kepler Space Telescope began to search the cosmos for potentially habitable worlds in 2009, hoping to pinpoint planets where life as we know it might exist. Now, during a routing observation, the space telescope spotted something very, very strange in the cosmos. Located between the Constellations of Lyra and Cygnus there is a really freaky star and what’s going on near it has baffled scientists.

Among the thousands of stars that Kepler observed between 2009 and 2013, one located between the constellations of Cygnus and Lyra has attracted the attention of astronomers. The light emitted by the star is shown to have some irregularities which has led experts to conclude that there are ‘alien’ objects orbiting the star. Some explanations may be the passage of planets or the formation of a solar system.

Have researchers found evidence of sophisticated Alien Technology?

Basically Kepler is designed to look for stars and spot irregularities or tiny dips in the brightness emitted by the stars. According to astronomers, these dips, if repeated, could be a tale tell sign that the star has planets orbiting it. What researchers do next after they spot the ‘tiny dips’ is measure the timing and size of the dips. The data is analyzed by computers with specific algorithms designed to look for repeating patterns which indicate that ‘something’ is orbiting a star. The Keplar Space Telescope observed the star in question, KIC 8462852 which is located 1480 light-years away from Earth, for a period of four years. When a planet passes in front of its host star, the star in question usually dims for a period of a few hours up to a couple of days. Bu KIC 8462852 is really mysterious because this star darkens as much as 20 percent at irregular intervals, staying dark for 5 to 80 days.

According to astronomers who noticed these mysterious irregularities this behavior is extremely bizarre.

Tabetha Boyajian, a postdoc at Yale, told The Atlantic: “We’d never seen anything like this star. It was really weird. We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft, but everything checked out.”

So what does this mean?

Well, according to experts, this means that the dips follow a pattern which suggests that the star is being orbited by a large, irregularly shaped object. What is even more interesting is the fact that the object which is causing the mysterious dips has to be a recently formed object according to scientists, as it would have been pulled in by the star’s gravity on the contrary.

Of, so what is this thing?

Well a lot of theories are in the wild but researchers from UC Berkeley’s SETI Institute believe it could be a clear sign of Alien technology. Tabetha Boyajian is working with SETI and Jason Wright, an astronomer from Penn State University in order to develop a plan to observe KIC 8462852 with NRAO’s Green Bank Telescope in search for radio waves. If scientists pick up anything interesting, they might go ahead and used the VERY LARGE ARRAY in New Mexico to listen if they can pick up the sound of ‘Alien Technology’.

According to Jason Wright, an astronomer at the Pennsylvania State University, these structures, or better said mega-structures, could be the product of a highly advanced alien civilization.

To confirm that these structures are not natural occurrences, Kepler is expected to take another peek at KIC 8462852 in May 2017 when the ‘anomalous structures’ are expected to transit the star again.

Did Comets Spark Alien Life in Europa's Oceans?

If alien life swims in the ocean beneath Europa's icy surface, it might have got its start from comets cracking the icy shell to deliver vital pre-life ingredients, say researchers.

New simulations show that a specific family of comets have the mass, velocity and opportunity to do the job -- penetrating the full range of likely Europan ice thicknesses.

ANALYSIS: NASA's Europa Mission to Hunt Down Life's Niches

"It's one of the best candidates for an ecosystem," said Rónadh Cox of Williams College, Mass., regarding Europa's ocean. "But how do you get biological precursers into the ocean?"

To find out if icy, chemical-rich comets could do it, she and her team modeled impacts by the full range of comets that have been influenced by Jupiter, and brought into relatively short orbits around the sun — so-called Jupiter Family Comets. The team simulated the collisions of these known comets into a range of ice thicknesses. Their results were surprising and led to a new insights into the moon's actual ice crust thickness.

"It turns out it doesn't matter how thick the crust is," said Cox, the lead author of a paper about the research in the latest issue of Journal of Geophysical Research-Planets. That's because it's all a matter of the frequency of impacts over the very long window of opportunity -- in this case the almost five billion-years that the solar system has been around.

NEWS: NASA's Europa Mission May Land on Ocean-Harboring Moon

If Europa's ice, for instance, is at the very thick end of the spectrum — 40 kilometers (25 miles) deep — it would require a 5 to 7-kilometer (3-5 mile) diameter comet to breach it, she said.

They found that the odds of that happening with a Jupiter Family Comet is once in 100 million years. That's a virtual certainty over five billion years.

The odds of getting through the ice get a lot better if the ice is thinner. Thinner ice would allow the more numerous smaller comets to break through the ice once every 10 million years, Cox explained.

"It means the crust is penetrated frequently in geological time," said Cox.

NEWS: Europa's Salty Ocean May be Seeping Through Icy Crust

It also means that the two dozen impact craters seen on Europa today can be compared to the simulated impact craters to see what size their impactors were. Those that left craters on Europa are failures, because if they had breached the ice they would have probably been flooded with fresh ice. So they provide a clue about how the thick the ice really is.

"We got the best match if ice was 10 to 15 kilometers (6 to 9 miles) thick," said Cox. This ice thickness agrees with other studies that estimate Europa's ice thickness by entirely different methods, she said.

"I think that this is the most complete and careful work yet on the relation between the Europan ice shell thickness and the size and depth of impact craters on its surface," said Purdue University's Jay Melosh, an expert on planetary impacts. "I am particularly impressed that the authors can match the observed crater depth-diameter relation over the entire range of crater sizes on Europa and get an excellent fit for a 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) thick ice shell. There has been a long-standing controversy over whether the ice on Europa is thin (that is, 7 to 15 km) or thick (around 40 km)."

PHOTOS: Where in the Solar System is it Possible for Alien Life?

As for those comets that broke the ice, Cox says the evidence for those is there on Europa's surface as well, although it's harder to be certain, as there are a lot more analogues for studying impact craters than for ice-penetrating impacts.

"If impactors are going through the ice there has to be a scar," Cox said. "Geomorphically, we don't know what that is. What do those look like now that they are frozen?"

They might look like the patchy, complicated Europan icescape called chaos terrain. Very similar looking surface patterns have been created by re-freezing of ice after explosives have been used to break through sea ice on Earth, Cox said. And that's about the only analogue she has seen for what has happened on Europa.

"We advocate that these are sites of impactors that penetrated the ice," said Cox.

If so, and the ice is on the thin side, it's good news for life on Europa and our chances of finding it.

"Cox and Bauer’s paper strongly supports the thin-shell side," said Melosh. "This is good news for the astrobiology community because it means that exchange of material between the surface and underlying ocean is relatively easy, so that nutrients for a putative Europan biosphere can get in and samples of that biosphere may be ejected to the surface, within reach of future sample return missions."
