Vlaamse toerist fotografeert ‘ufo’ in Barcelona - nieuwsblad.be
Vlaamse toerist fotografeert ‘ufo’ in Barcelona - nieuwsblad.be
Foto: Belgisch UFO-meldpunt
Eén ding is zeker: deze foto die een Vlaamse toerist vorige maand maakte van de skyline van Barcelona, is écht. Pas toen de man enkele dagen later thuiskwam en de panoramische foto van de Spaanse stad nauwkeuriger bekeek, zag hij het vreemde ding in het midden van de foto.
Het beeld wordt nu onderzocht door het Belgische ufo-meldpunt. “De foto is niet nep”, zegt Frederick Delaere. Toch zijn ze er niet van overtuigd dat de witte schijf die door de lucht lijkt te zoeven, echt een ‘ongeïdentificeerd vliegend object’ is, “aangezien niemand anders iets opmerkte op het moment dat de foto genomen werd. Ook de fotograaf had niets door.”
“We denken dat het een insect of een vogel is, die toevallig dicht bij de cameralens vloog. De foto werd genomen vanop de Montjuïc, een heuvel in het zuidwesten van de stad waar veel planten en bomen staan. Als het een insect was, moet het een vlinder geweest zijn. Drie Spaanse onderzoekers die we hebben aangeschreven, denken dan weer dat het om een zeemeeuw gaat.”
Wheel of Giants: Prehistoric 'Stonehenge' Monument In Golan Heights Fuels Mystery
Wheel of Giants: Prehistoric 'Stonehenge' Monument In Golan Heights Fuels Mystery
Published on Nov 11, 2015
www.undergroundworldnews.com Driving past it, one of the most mysterious structures in the Middle East is easy to miss. The prehistoric stone monument went unnoticed for centuries in a bare expanse of field on the Golan Heights.
After Israel captured the territory from Syria in a 1967 war, archaeologists studying an aerial survey spotted a pattern of stone circles not visible from the ground. Subsequent excavations revealed it was one of the oldest and largest structures in the region.
Known as Rujm el-Hiri in Arabic, meaning the "stone heap of the wild cat", the complex has five concentric circles, the largest more than 500 feet (152 m) wide, and a massive burial chamber in the middle. Its Hebrew name Gilgal Refaim, or "wheel of giants", refers to an ancient race of giants mentioned in the Bible.
It is up to 5,000 years old, according to most estimates, making it a contemporary of England's Stonehenge. Unlike the more famous monument built with about 100 huge stones topped by lintels, the Golan structure is made of piles of thousands of smaller basalt rocks that together weigh over 40,000 tons.
Russian General: “We’ve Been Summoning UFOs for Over 30 Years”
Russian General: “We’ve Been Summoning UFOs for Over 30 Years”
Russia is said to have knowledge about extraterrestrial beings for more than 20 years, and many respected former high ranking officials have been trying to disclose certain aspects for some time, but face a lot of adversity from the media, who either ignore them or cite them as untrustworthy sources.
During the Soviet era, the Defense Ministry worked on engineering a human with superpowers. In the course of these experiments, a team of scientists was somehow able to communicate with alien life forms. The man in charge of this classified assignment later talked to journalists.
Also a member of the Natural Sciences Academy, and now lieutenant-general in reserve Alexey Savin tells us that in the late 80s, a team of Russian scientists were able to get in touch with a similar delegation representing a foreign civilization.
Former major-general Vasily Yeremenko was the first to inform the press of his duty during the Soviet era, which was the retrieval of evidence and intelligence from UFO encounters. He says the amount of such information back then was vast beyond modern comprehension.
The main objective was to stop any opportunities of war from arising between mankind, or at least Russia, and extraterrestrial civilizations. The KGB conducted an ample study of unexplained phenomena near Vladimirovska in 1984. The location wasn’t picked randomly, as most documented UFO encounters took place at sites where weapons or dangerous technology were tested.
"We can say that we learned to summon UFOs in Vladimirovka. To do this, we dramatically increased the number of military flights and movement of the equipment. If the intensity on our side increased, UFOs appeared with the probability of 100 percent.”
After more than half a year of such tests, the authorities stopped in order to count the results. They concluded that science, at least as it was back then, couldn’t visibly see any peculiar phenomena and even if anyone did, any aircraft spotted was more probably coming from enemies like the United States or Japan.
Yeremenko added: “The UFO topic today is ubiquitous. Precisely because of its scandalous nature serious scientists are not willing to identify their position on this issue. Pilots often see such objects, but they have a veto on this topic, so do astronauts. In confidential conversations they talk about their experiences meeting with UFOs, but they are afraid to speak publicly about this.”
He says this topic should be taken seriously because it’s a matter of security at a global level.
Then Alexey Savin spoke of the government and the KGB’s attempts to manipulate an individual’s brain, which is capable of supernatural powers, in order to spawn a superhuman, the ultimate weapon.
"In the process of research, we came to the conclusion that a human was an energy and information system that receives information from outside. This is precisely why a human can manifest paranormal abilities.”
People working on the project were either military staff or scientists, but there was also a group assembled solely out of women, and it was them who made the most important research.
Savin explains how they had mastered a way to make the human brain function like a radio and contact other civilizations. “We wanted to make a contact with representatives of other civilizations. And we did it. We had to tune energy-contour of the human brain to a particular wave, like a radio.”
No chemicals or drugs were used on subjects during testing, and the scientists also came up with a way to tell if individuals were making progress or just hallucinating. What happened next was amazing. Six individuals were able to actually touch extraterrestrial life forms and one was even invited to visit a ship.
The aliens did give away some information about the structure of their society, but left out important parts like any military details. They supposedly also left knowledge of medical procedures that could cure most diseases. Savin told journalists that the human race is so precariously evolved that they would compare us to infants.
"Our civilization is too young to be of interest to them as a subject for a dialogue. Because we are also a part of the universe, we may harm ourselves and other civilizations with our foolish actions, so they are looking out for us. “
In 1993, politics came in the way, the whole project was abandoned and the team disbanded, but the brain manipulation method remained in use at the Gagarin Academy, where a core team of scientist continued to work.
Savin says “Four years ago we tried to repeat the experiment, and we were successful. Brains and talented people are still present in the defense industry.” He then asks “Why hide something from people? Instead, they need to prepare for new challenges.”
But if the aliens were so peaceful and even revealing, why does Savin think we should all prepare for a new challenge or treat UFOs like a global security issue?!

Mysterieus object WT1190F stort neer op vrijdag de dertiende
Mysterieus object WT1190F stort neer op vrijdag de dertiende
Het mysterieuze object WT1190F is vanochtend rond 07.00 uur Nederlandse tijd neergestort boven de Indische Oceaan.
Wetenschappers zijn er kort geleden in geslaagd om de baan van het object, dat in oktober dit jaar werd ontdekt, te berekenen. Zodoende voorspelde het Europese ruimteagentschap ESA dat WT1190F op vrijdag 13 november zou neerkomen op zo’n 100 kilometer van de zuidelijke kust van Sri Lanka.
In Sri Lanka zaten heel wat enthousiastelingen klaar om het gebeuren te volgen, maar de wolken gooiden roet in het eten. Het is ook mogelijk dat het ruimteobject in de atmosfeer is verbrand voordat het de aarde kon bereiken.
Zekere voor het onzekere
De autoriteiten namen het zekere voor het onzekere. Zo mochten er geen vliegtuigen vliegen over het gebied waar WT1190F zou neerstorten en ook mocht er niet gevist worden.
De onderzoekers weten niet zeker wat het is. Wel weten ze dat het een hol object is met een doorsnee van een paar meter. Ze vermoeden dat het onderdeel is geweest van een raket die al enkele jaren in de ruimte zweeft. Na analyse bleek dat het object al eerder was waargenomen in 2012 en 2013.
Vragen
WT1190F blijft de nodige vragen oproepen. Er hangt veel ruimtepuin rond de aarde, maar dit object zat in een heel langwerpige elliptische baan om de aarde. Gezien de baan denken onderzoekers dat het een restant kan zijn van een maanmissie, eventueel van de Apollomissies eind jaren zestig.
Omdat dit één van de weinige grote brokstukken is die terugkomt naar de aarde, is er wereldwijd heel wat aandacht voor het neerstorten van het object.
Antarctisch UFO-mysterie wordt groter: “Crashplek bewaakt door tanks”
Antarctisch UFO-mysterie wordt groter: “Crashplek bewaakt door tanks”
Complottheoristen claimen bewijs te hebben gevonden van ‘legervoertuigen’ die de crashplek van een mysterieuze UFO ‘bewaken’. Dat meldt de Britse Daily Express.
Eerder dit jaar zei de Russische onderzoeker Valentin Degterev uit Nizjni Nagil op Google Earth een ongeïdentificeerd object te hebben gespot. Andere onderzoekers hebben satellietbeelden gevonden van dezelfde plek, die dateren van april en december 2011.
Volgens sommigen tonen de beelden vier tanks bij een vreemde scheur in het oppervlak op Google Earth, alsof een UFO na een noodlanding een spoor door de sneeuw heeft getrokken. Op eerdere foto’s is de ‘crashplek’ wel te zien, maar ontbreken de vier extra objecten.
Degterev zette de beelden afgelopen zomer op internet, waarna ze al snel viraal gingen. Hij is ervan overtuigd dat het enorme object een ‘vliegende schotel’ is, die half onder de sneeuw bedolven ligt. De beelden die hij heeft gebruikt zijn gemaakt op 15 februari 2012.
Hij schat dat het object 62 bij 12 meter moet zijn. Sommige reageerders waren er zeker van dat het niets meer dan een kloof is, terwijl anderen zich afvroegen wat er met de inzittenden is gebeurd.

Spinning UFO Over Portugal Neighbourhood On Nov 12, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: November 12, 2015
Location of sighting: Portugal
This spinning UFO was seen over Portugal this week. Many UFOs have been seen in the past with this spinning motion. Once over a football game on live TV back in Oct of 1979 during a Dallas game. This UFO in Portugal looks very similar.

White Glowing UFO Over Santa Tecla, El Salvador On Oct 29, 2014, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: October 29, 2014 Location of sighting: Santa Tecla, El Salvador News source: MUFON #61227 Usually I won't post an older video, but MUFON just put this one up on their Youtube channel, and it does show how white and cloud like these UFOs can appear. This is why they are hard to notice when the sky is filled with clouds. The video is short, but most importantly shows us the movement of the craft. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: By the end of the noon, I was trying to take some photos of the sky by its colours when, suddenly, I saw the oject. So I took the photo right on the object When I noticed the object I guessed it would be a helicopter The object was comingo due to south from San Salvador vulcano, suddenly but slowly change its direction right to the east and I can't see anymore because here it's a residential area and other houses don't let see it anymore Well, I was happy to see a rare object Because it's a residential area, other houses don't let see a little more the traffic of the object.
Here’s one interesting sighting of an bright object hovering in the sky above Bullhead City in Arizona. This happened on 30th October 2015.
Witness report:UFO observed for 30 minutes or More. Bright intense, changing lights, Changed into two objects than back to One. Witnessed for three nights in a row. My father was walking to the grocery store right down the street. He noticed a long bright light up on the mountain ridge to the West. He came in and got me and his girlfriend and we went out in the front yard to watch this strange light. It was there for a good 30 minutes or more, and for three nights we saw this. The unidentified objects most mysterious thing was that it would be a small white light and then all of a sudden get brighter and brighter to where it was blinding and we could hardly look at it. It would move up and down a little but mostly kept its path going slowly back and forth in a North and South direction. It would blink, change color to red, Disappear then reappear. A few times it changed from one object into two than back as one again. I have many short video recordings on my camera. Every time I try to submit them it knocks me offline. This is my forth attempt at submitting this so I am just going to attach one video and one picture. You can let me know if you would like to see the rest. To see everything this UFO was doing you would have to watch
all the videos. What is going on in Bullhead City ?? My father and I are very interested in finding out what that was we were watching for three days.
UFOs Have Allegedly Been Scanning Above The Martian Surface
UFOs Have Allegedly Been Scanning Above The Martian Surface
Extraterrestrial researchers – who have been claiming to have seen evidence of alien fossils, statues, buildings, ET beings, and other objects from the Red Planet – now claim to have finally found proof of alien craft.
Several pictures from NASA Curiosity rover allegedly show a four-wheel-drive droid that believed to be doing exploration on the surface and taking photos and rock samples.
In one of the pictures taken on November 3 and made available online by NASA on the next day, seems to show a dark object in the sky at the distance. When zoomed in, the photo reveals what looks like a flying saucer.
In different pictures captured on the same day, two dark objects allegedly appear in the sky. It seems that the two rear cameras of the Curiosity both caught the objects in different positions. Then a little earlier it took place again. Online alien chasers think that it is clear evidence that something is flying above Mars.
In a YouTube video of paranormal channel Streetcap1, it shows a separate image in November showing a third UFO during a sunset on the Red Planet. The UFO is thought to be tilted to an angle and looks like a drone.
However, skeptics suggested that inexplicable images in photographs do not automatically make them alien craft, and they could be just dirt on the lens.
(exclusive video)Colossal Green Fireball Captured While Dashing Over Thailand’s Sky
(exclusive video)Colossal Green Fireball Captured While Dashing Over Thailand’s Sky
A huge green fireball lit up Thailand’s sky on the 2nd of November, captivating the locals who were scared but at the same time intrigued by this spectacular phenomenon known as the Taurid meteor shower.
This year is expected to be a bit more special as the Taurids will be more active than usual, meaning that the meteorites will be more numerous and at the same time more enforced. This spectacular event happens when Earth passes through a large area containing debris left by Comet Encke. The shower peak is expected to run Nov. 5 through Nov. 12, but apparently Thailand had the privilege to be one of the first countries to witness it.
NASA scientist, Bill Cooke, gave an advice about when it’s the best time to experience this:
Taurid meteors can be seen any time the constellation Taurus is above the horizon during the months of September, October, and November. The best time to look for Taurids is after midnight, when Taurus is high in the sky, and when the sky is dark and clear, with no moonlight to mask the fainter meteors.
Hi, my name is Michael. I live in Pearland Texas, just on the outskirts of Houston. I had a strange sighting this past October 22nd. I’ve been looking for an explanation online somewhere but haven’t found anything close to what I saw, maybe you or one of your readers could shed some light on it.
About 8:30 am I was on my way home from dropping a friend off at work, I was turning from Interstate 45 onto Dixie Farm Rd, when I saw what initially looked like a plane, but I just can’t say that’s what it actually was, due to its strange appearance. It looked like a plane, only it was sort of fat in appearance, its wings were average size, but it had no windows, and I saw no engines. It was dull gray with a single blue stripe along the length of its body. I figured it had to be a blimp, only there were no tether wires or strings holding it in place. It was perfectly still and unwavering despite it being a very windy overcast day. It was very low to the ground, perhaps the length of three or four cars high. It was perfectly still and above a small mining facility.
To attach something like this to that machinery I’m sure would be dangerous and illegal. It was the same body length as it was high up from the ground (3-4 car lengths). I wanted to take a picture but due to the mining equipment, there is no place to pull over. I drove about two blocks down, made a u-turn and went back to see it again as it truly was an odd sight, but upon returning, it was gone. I just don’t see how it could disappear in the two minutes it took me to turn around and come back to where it was. I drove around to see if maybe it had floated off, thinking it had actually been a blimp after all, but it was nowhere to be seen. I’m not ready to say that it was extraterrestrial, but it definitely was a UFO. I live in between Hobby Airport and NASA so I guess anything is possible. I’m just really curious if anyone else saw it or something similar to it. µ
Los Angeles Examiner's photo of the Battle of Los Angeles via USC Libraries
Late last week, Angelenos were confused/awed/terrified by the sight of a mysterious streak of light illuminating the night sky across its entire length. For hours, no official explanation was offered, leading everyone in town to speculate wildly on Twitter about what it was. It turns out that it was the Navy testing their Trident II missile, which is used to deter nuclear attacks; to prevent the prying eyes of the Russians, the Navy released no details to the public prior to the launch. It was a reasonable, if not slightly off-putting explanation, but it didn't take long for people to cry conspiracy. Was it a comet? Was it an alien? What was the government hiding? We may never know, but for some conspiracy theorists, speculation will probably continue for years. And the Trident incident is not alone—Los Angeles actually has a rich history of unexplained phenomenon in its skies. Here's a rundown of LA's best UFO stories throughout history:
The Battle of Los Angeles
February 24 to 25, 1942 Sighting: In the midst of World War II, Los Angeles is put on a high-alert blackout one February evening when it's feared that an unidentified object in the sky is a Japanese aircraft. Anti-aircraft gunners anxiously await news of the impending danger, and when reports came in that an object has been spotted in the air near Santa Monica, the sky "erupted like a volcano" with gunfire. Three people die from falling shells and three others succumb to stress-induced heart attacks in the hour-long ordeal.
Reality: After the end of the war, the Japanese refuted claims that they had sent any planes into American airspace. In 1983, the Office of Air Force History offered a thorough report on the incident that stated a case of wartime nerves caused a chain reaction of shooting that lit up the sky for hours. The report found that the initial cause of the chaos was a weather balloon the Navy had spotted in the sky, mistaken for an enemy plane, and proceeded to bomb the hell out of. Once firing began, smoke from the 1,500 rounds of anti-aircraft artillery obscured the field of vision, and gun outposts up and down the coast responded by firing all they had at the sky.
Edwards Air Force Base
May 3, 1957 Sighting: While testing the landing gear on a new aircraft, crew members report seeing a saucer-like aircraft that hovered near them as they flew. They manage to capture both still images and motion pictures of the craft with the cameras they had been using to document the aircraft testing. Upon landing, the two crew members report the incident to Captain Gordon Cooper, showing him the film and photos. Understandably confused, Gordon informs the Pentagon of the incident and they tell him to send all original film and photos to Washington for analysis. The Pentagon does not follow up on the incident and the images are never seen again.
Reality: No official explanation was ever given for the sighting. Captain Gordon Cooper maintained for several years that the government regularly covers up UFO encounters. In his memoirs published in 2000, Cooper claimed to have seen many unidentified aircraft during his career. Six years after the incident at Edwards Air Force Base, Gordon became a flying object himself, orbiting Earth 22 times as an astronaut for the Mercury-Atlas 9 mission.
Orfeo Angelucci, Burbank
May 24, 1952 Sighting:Orfeo Angelucci, an assembly line worker at the Lockheed Martin plant in Burbank, makes contact with extra terrestrial beings on his drive home from work. According to Angelucci, a red, glowing oval appeared from the sky, emitting two globes of green lights that appeared in front of his car. From the balls of light, Angelucci hears a masculine voice speaking perfect English that calls him out of the car and offers up a mysterious drink in a crystal goblet. Angelucci is told his "higher vibrational perception" makes him one of three humans that the alien beings feel comfortable contacting. Over time, their relationship grows, as the beings took him in their craft for several journeys into the cosmos.
Reality: A sickly man from childhood, Angelucci moved to Los Angeles from Trenton, NJ because thunderstorms caused him mental anguish. On his way to LA, he was checked out by doctors at the Mayo Clinic and told to only engage in jobs that would not overwork his "weakened constitution." He then immediately takes a job working the graveyard shift at an airline assembly plant.
From his own, published account of the day he made contact with aliens:
After several cups of coffee and an exchange of good-natured banter with some of the customers, I left and went to my job at the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation plant. Things went along well enough during the earlier part of the evening, but about 11 o'clock I began to feel ill. An odd prickling sensation was running through my hands and arms and up into the back of my neck. I had a slight heart palpitation and my nerves were on edge.
He drives home and sees aliens. Verdict? Switch to decaf, Orfeo.
Catalina Island UFOs
April 15, 1966 and December 29, 1968 Sighting: Catalina has become a small hotbed for alleged UFO sightings, enough to even support a guided UFO tour. The island's UFO-mania all started on the morning ofApril 15, 1966. At 9:45 am, in the skies above the Catalina Channel, a silver disc-like object is seen rocketing through the sky at an estimated speed of 170 mph. Grainy black and white footage is taken of the sighting.
In 1968, Paul Allione sees a set of bright lights in the sky in the same location as the 1966 sighting. The line of lights appear to tilt in the sky before stopping and hovering above the ocean.
Reality: After being inundated with calls from confused locals, the news reports that the mysterious moving lights in the sky was a weather balloon launched by two college students.
STERRENKUNDE Een rotsachtige planeet ter grootte van de aarde, op amper 39 lichtjaren - een steenworp, in astronomische termen - hier vandaan. GJ 1132b, in het sterrenstelsel Vela, zou volgens astronomen wel eens de belangrijkste exoplaneet zijn die tot nu toe werd ontdekt.
Deze buitenaardse wereld cirkelt rond een rode dwerg (een kleine, zwakke ster) en is ongeveer zestien procent groter dan onze aarde. Maar vooral bevindt hij zich drie keer dichterbij dan de dichtstbijzijnde aarde-achtige, rotsige planeet die tot nu toe gevonden was.
Op die afstand, zo hopen astronomen, zullen ze met behulp van telescopen de chemische stoffen in de atmosfeer van de planeet, de snelheid van de winden en de kleuren van de zonsondergangen zorgvuldig kunnen ontleden. En dat is dan weer beloftevol voor de toekomst, want die informatie kan wetenschappers helpen om te zoeken naar tekenen van leven op andere planeten.
'Deze planeet lijkt op de aarde, bevindt zich dichtbij, en zijn ster zal het onderzoek niet belemmeren'
Drake Deming, astronoom
De ster waarrond de nieuw ontdekte planeet zich beweegt, is maar een vijfde zo groot als de zon en dus ook veel koeler en zwakker. Maar GJ 1132b bevindt zich zo dicht bij zijn ster dat de oppervlaktetemperaturen oplopen tot 260 graden Celsius. De verschroeiende hitte maakt het onmogelijk dat er vloeibaar water op het oppervlak is - en dus dat er leven te vinden is. Maar wellicht is het er net niet heet genoeg om de atmosfeer weg te branden.
"Indien deze planeet een atmosfeer heeft, kunnen we mogelijk ook andere, koelere planeten met een atmosfeer vinden die rond kleine sterren draaien", zegt onderzoeker Zachory Berta-Thompson van het Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research aan MIT. "Die kunnen we dan doorzoeken op moleculen die ontstaan door leven."
Toekomstige missies
Volgens Drake Deming, astronoom aan de universiteit van Maryland, is GJ 1132b "wellicht de belangrijkste planeet ooit ontdekt buiten ons zonnestelsel". Zijn nabijheid en baan rond een rode dwerg zullen astronomen toelaten de planeet te bestuderen met een ongekende nauwkeurigheid. "Hij lijkt op de aarde, is dichtbij, en zijn ster zal het onderzoek niet belemmeren."
De planeet wordt ook een belangrijk doelwit voor toekomstige missies, waaronder de ruimtetelescoop James Webb die naar verwachting in 2018 gelanceerd wordt en de Giant Magellan-telescoop die in 2025 in werking treedt in Chili.

Police Remains Clueless About the Appearance of Crop Circles On Wheat Fields In Argentina
Police Remains Clueless About the Appearance of Crop Circles On Wheat Fields In Argentina
Police investigators have no idea as to who or what is making a series of strange crop circles in Argentina.
The unusual pattern of wheat fields have appeared in the northern province of Salta in 2015, and the latest one was on a plantation in Chicoana.
Mercedes Casas, a crop circle investigator, said that the latest pattern has nine circles that begin big and get smaller until the last one.
The first circle has seven metres in diameter and gradually gets smaller until four metres with some interesting markings, Casas described. She added that lines connect the circles, approximately a metre wide and a few centimetres tall.
Another formation of crop circles appeared in Salta in February.
Mercedes believes humanoids designed these rings. These humanoids, according to Mercedes, are extra-terrestrial entities in the form of humans that appear tall and blonde.
A physics professor at Truman State University, Taner Edis, said these circles all fall within the range of hoaxes so far. Edis explains that he’s aware of claims of obscure natural causes or alien origin, but there’s no scientific evidence for such explanations.
Door de ontdekking van dit hemellichaam wordt er weer volop gespeculeerd over planeet X
Door de ontdekking van dit hemellichaam wordt er weer volop gespeculeerd over planeet X
Astronomen hebben een nieuw object ontdekt in ons zonnestelsel, dat drie keer verder van de aarde staat dan Pluto. “We weten niets over de omloopbaan van dit object,” zei Scott Sheppard van het Carnegie Institute of Washington. “We weten alleen dat het gaat om het meest afgelegen object in ons zonnestelsel.”
Het nieuwe object is V774104 gedoopt en staat op ongeveer 103 astronomische eenheden (afstand tussen de aarde en de zon) van de zon. De twee Pioneer-sondes, die sinds 1972 en 1973 door de ruimte reizen, staan op ongeveer dezelfde afstand van ons af.
Wetenschappers schatten dat het hemellichaam tussen de 500 en 1000 kilometer in doorsnee moet zijn. In de buurt van V774104 zijn nog meer hemellichamen aangetroffen. Omdat ze zo langzaam rond de zon draaien, zal het ongeveer een jaar duren voordat er meer bekend is over hun omloopbaan en herkomst.
Donkere rotsachtige planeet
Als ze richting Neptunus bewegen, zijn ze waarschijnlijk uit het binnenste deel van het zonnestelsel verstoten. Het is ook mogelijk dat ze uit de binnenste Oortwolk komen. Er zijn tot op heden maar twee objecten ontdekt die daar vandaan komen: dwergplaneet Sedna en 2012 VP113.
“Sedna en VP113 zijn de enige objecten in het nu bekende zonnestelsel met een omloopbaan die niet kan worden verklaard,” zei Michael Brown van het California Institute of Technology.
Eén mogelijke verklaring voor de vreemde omloopbaan van deze objecten is de aanwezigheid van een hele donkere rotsachtige planeet, die de objecten als een soort schaapsherder bij elkaar houdt.
Superaarde
Het is goed mogelijk dat voorbij Pluto nog een Neptunus-achtige planeet of superaarde staat die niet kan worden gedetecteerd met de huidige telescopen. Het is ook mogelijk dat de objecten zijn beïnvloed door een passerende ster.
Als blijkt dat de omloopbaan van de objecten niet wordt beïnvloed door bekende reuzenplaneten, zal worden gekeken of de banen kunnen worden gelinkt aan een nog onbekende reuzenplaneet in de buitenste regionen van ons zonnestelsel.
“Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory. The plots of countless Hollywood blockbusters, bestselling books, and beloved TV shows revolve around conspiratorial shenanigans, and surprising numbers of people believe that the kinds of vast, insidious conspiracies that Mulder and Scully routinely unearthed on The X-Files are happening right now in the real world. Yet conspiracy theories are not a recent invention, and they are not always a harmless curiosity.
In “SUSPICIOUS MINDS: Why We Believe Conspiracy Theories” (Bloomsbury / November 17, 2015 ), Rob Brotherton, a research psychologist and leading expert on the psychology of conspiracy theory, explores the history and consequences of conspiracism, and offers insights into why so many of us are drawn to implausible, unproven and unprovable conspiracy theories. They resonate with some of our brain’s built-in quirks and foibles, and tap into some of our deepest desires, fears, and assumptions about the world. But conspiracy theories are not unique in eliciting our brain’s biases. From our love of heroic underdogs to our tendency to see hidden hands behind ambiguous events, the same mental quirks that make conspiracy theories appealing are constantly shaping how we think about the world. Most of the time our biases simply slip by unnoticed.
The fascinating psychology of conspiracy theories tells us a lot about how our minds are wired and, indeed, why we believe anything at all. Conspiracy theories are not some psychological aberration—they’re a predictable product of how brains work. And, of course, just because your brain’s biased doesn’t always mean you’re wrong. Sometimes conspiracies are real. Sometimes, paranoia is prudent.
Conspiracy theorists aren’t just a few kooks lurking on the paranoid fringes of society with bizarre ideas about shape-shifting reptiles secretly running society. According to Brotherton, we’re all conspiracy theorists—some of us just hide it better than others.
And here’s what people are saying about it…
“[Brotherton] casts doubt on the assumption that far-fetched beliefs are reserved for the simple-minded or the exceedingly paranoid…Although we like to think our judgments are based on evidence, Brotherton reveals that a host of psychological factors come into play whenever we choose what to believe.” –Scientific American
“The world of conspiracy theory is a minefield of manic personalities, but Brotherton uses a measured scientific tone to explain our more creative anxieties. His writing style is inviting and even cheeky, and the book is a page-turner. A thoughtful, general analysis of conspiracy theories arguing that belief in secret plots is neither new nor unusual but a time-tested part of the human experience.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Clearly written and with liberal use of humor and numerous examples from scholarly research, this title provides a valuable look at why conspiracy theories abound and why we should continually assess our thinking.” –Library Journal, starred review
“Over the course of this all-too-short book, Brotherton illustrates how incomplete, contradictory, coincidental, and incongruent information can allow people to see conspiracies and connections where there are none, due in part to the theories’ plausibility and humans’ innate desire for order, as well as a given individual’s understanding of how the world works. Put simply, people want to believe. Brotherton maintains an educational approach to the material, leading readers through the logic behind each concept as he explores subjects as diverse as the Illuminati, the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (“not a very good fake”), the Kennedy assassination, and birthers. While Brotherton might not convince all believers to remove their tinfoil hats (a concept whose origin he explains), it’s sure to make readers question their worldview.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review”

A small planet, just a bit bigger than Earth, has been spotted in our stellar neighborhood, just 39 light-years away.
Known as GJ 1132b, it is the closest rocky exoplanet to have ever been found, and astronomers say it could provide our most in-depth look yet at an alien world not so different than our own.
Drake Deming, an astronomer at the University of Maryland, was so excited about the findings, published this week in Nature, that he described the new world as "arguably the most important planet ever found outside the solar system" in an accompanying News and Views article.
The newly discovered planet is just 16 percent larger than Earth, and it is made of rock and metal like our own planet. However, scientists say it is not likely to host life as we know it.
Its small, dim, sun is just one-fifth the size of our own sun, but GJ 1132b circles it at a distance of just 1.4 million miles, completing a full orbit once every 1.6 Earth days. (For perspective, Mercury orbits the sun from a distance of 36 million miles.)
The exoplanet's close proximity to its host star keeps its temperature at a broiling 500 degrees Fahrenheit — or about as hot as the highest setting on your home oven, said Zachory Berta-Thompson, a post-doc at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research.
At that temperature, liquid water cannot exist on the planet's surface, although scientists say it is likely the planet still has an atmosphere.
"Our best guess is that this planet looks like Venus," said Berta-Thompson, who was also the first author on the study. "But we won't have to guess for long. This is the first rocky planet for which we have the chance to go out and observe its atmosphere."
GJ 1132b was discovered with the help of the MEarth-South Observatory, a Harvard University lead array of eight 16-inch wide robotic telescopes stationed in the mountains of Chile. The array is specifically tasked with looking among nearby stars exoplanets that in some way resemble Earth.
"The idea is if we can find the planet in a small telescope, we can study it in much more detail with a large telescope," said Berta-Thompson.
The researchers first detected GJ 1132b in May 2014, when they noticed a telltale dip in the brightness of a small red dwarf star that suggests a planet had passed in front of it, blocking some of its light.
After confirming the finding with a smattering of other telescopes, the researchers proceeded to do a series of measurements and calculations to characterize the exoplanet.
By measuring how much the star dims each time the planet passes in front of it they were able to determine the planet is just a bit bigger than Earth.
By looking at the frequency of the dips in the star's brightness they could say with certainty that the planet orbits its sun once every 1.6 Earth days.
The orbital period of the planet can also be used to calculate how far the exoplanet is from its host star, which in turn helped the researchers estimate how much the planet is likely heated by its star.
And there's more.
Planets exert a slight gravitational pull on their host stars, causing them to wobble. By measuring how much a star wobbles, astronomers can determine an exoplanet's mass. Because they also know its size from looking at how much light it blocks, they can also figure out the planet's density.
"The mass was telling us that this planet is for the most part a big ball of rock and iron, and not just big puffy ball," Berta-Thompson said. "For example, we could have measured that the density was the same as a bag of feathers."
But Berta-Thompson said these initial investigations of the newly found planet are just the beginning of what he hopes will be a lot more study yet to come — especially once the powerful James Webb Space Telescope is launched in October 2018.
"We've come up with theories about rocky planets — how they formed, how they got into their current orbits, what physical processes occur on them — but we have not been able to test many of them," he said. "The discovery of this planet gives us the opportunity to switch our focus from imagining what is out there to testing our theories observationally."
Scientists have finally proven that our DNA has Telepathic abilities: Are we globally connected?
The structure of the DNA double helix. The atoms in the structure are colour-coded by element and the detailed structure of two base pairs are shown in the bottom right.
Scientists refer to it as Genetic ‘telepathy’ and it is a completely shocking new discovery.
Scientists firmly believe that have discovered a new detail about our DNA which points towards the fact that it has the ability to ‘link itself together’ when separated by distance, in other words, our DNA has the ability to communicate telepathically. But this was believed to be impossible according to many experts, but you know what they say, everything is impossible until it becomes possible.
According to tests published by the Journal of Physical Chemistry intact double-strand DNA has the mysterious ability to communicate at a distance telepathically meaning that it has the ability to identify certain similarities in other DNA stands even at a distance making it possible to congregate without physical contact.
In other words it means that just as friends which have similar interests hang out, tiny little bits of genetic material basically do the same congregating together.
The next big step? How to control telepathy?
According to the authors of the article that appeared in the ACS’ Journal, Geoff S. Baldwin, Sergey Leikin, John M. Seddon, and Alexi A. Kornyshev and their colleges,
“Amazingly, the forces responsible for the sequence recognition can reach across more than one nanometer of water separating the surfaces of the nearest neighbor DNA.”
In the experiment, researchers placed fluorescently tagged DNA strands in water without proteins or other material that could interfere with the experiment and observed it. Researchers were able to understand that identical nucleotide sequences were about twice as likely to gather together as DNA strands with different sequences.
This incredible experiment might shed new light and help increase accuracy and efficiency of homologous recombination of genes which according to scientists, is a process that is responsible for DNA repair, evolution and genetic diversity.

The hubble Space Telescope has found a set of enigmatic space objects that baffle scientists (VIDEO)
The hubble Space Telescope has found a set of enigmatic space objects that baffle scientists (VIDEO)
This finding is unprecedented, and remains an inexplicable enigma to science.
No, we are not talking about the alien megastructures that have everyone going berserk over the last couple of weeks. We are talking about unexplained, bizarre, fast-moving “ripples” spotted around a star located in the vicinity of our Solar System. These anomalous ripples have scientists scratching their heads, looking for an explanation that could shed light into what these enigmatic objects truly are. According to one of the researchers, Anthony Boccaletti, the finding is extremely weird and unexpected. The enigmatic objects were detected by analyzing images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2010 and 2011, and the Very Large Telescope, from the European Southern Observatory. Scientists were studying the disk of gas and dust surrounding the young star AU Microscopii for signs that reveal the presence of other planets. This red dwarf is located in the constellation Microscopium, composed mainly of low-energy star. “At least three of the features are moving so fast that they could well be escaping from the gravitational attraction of the star,” according to a news release.
While studying the data provided by the Hubble Space Telescope, experts have concluded that the mysterious undulating objects are moving at an astonishing speed of approximately 40,000 kilometers per hour.
“Everything about this find was pretty surprising,” said co-author Carol Grady. “And because nothing like this has been observed or predicted in theory, we can only hypothesize when it comes to what we are seeing and how it came about.”
While researchers are trying to understand what is causing these anomalous ripples, they say they are not caused by the collision of larger asteroid-like objects or other instabilities like anomalies in the star’s gravity.
“One explanation for the strange structure links them to the star’s flares. AU Mic is a star with high flaring activity — it often lets off huge and sudden bursts of energy from on or near its surface,” explains co-author Glenn Schneider of Steward Observatory, USA. “One of these flares could perhaps have triggered something on one of the planets — if there are planets — like a violent stripping of material which could now be propagating through the disc, propelled by the flare’s force.”
“It is very satisfying that SPHERE has proved to be very capable at studying discs like this in its first year of operation,” adds Jean-Luc Beuzit, who is both a co-author of the new study and also led the development of SPHERE itself.
In order to fully understand deep space anomalies like this, scientists say they need to continue observing AU Mic’s behavior to understand and answers the mysteries surrounding the star. Some astronomers believe that these anomalies may have been produced by a large explosion in a nearby planet.
This research was presented in a paper entitled “Fast-Moving Structures in the Debris Disk Around AU Microscopii”, to appear in the journal Nature on 8 October 2015.
The data were gathered by Hubble’s Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS)
