Alien Drone Caught On Dash Cam Over Darwin, Australia On Dec 6, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Alien Drone Caught On Dash Cam Over Darwin, Australia On Dec 6, 2015, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 6, 2015 Location of sighting: Darwin, Australia At first I almost dismissed this UFO as a light reflection, but on closer examination and playing of the video over 10 times, I am confident it was a UFO. This object shoots past incredibly fast, to fast to be a bird or bat. The object looks metallic and long, like a small disk drone. Aliens like to monitor humans at night with these drones, because the odds of getting seen are much lower than during the day. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com Eyewitness states: Did we see a UFO on our dash cam? We were leaving a service station in Darwin NT when our dash cam captured a super fast object moving through the sky. We took some screen shots of the video and enhanced them to get a better look at the object which appear at end of the video.
Date of discovery: January 2016 Location of discovery: Cemiterio Sao Joao batista, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Method used: Google Earth Coordinates: 22°57'32.83”S 43°11'18.95"W I was looking at Google Earth when I found a UFO in the cemetery in Rio de Janeiro. On the hill in the distance, in the lower left, you see the national monument Christ the Redeemer statue. The UFO may have been investigation the peoples religious beliefs, emotions and such in the area. Also UFO over the cemetery could very possibly be studying the human grieving process. Scott C.

Man Unwittingly Captures Video Of a UFO Passing Over the Moon
Man Unwittingly Captures Video Of a UFO Passing Over the Moon
When a man in St Helens, Merseyside aimed his camera at the sky to catch the first moon of the year 2016, he unknowingly filmed an unidentified flying object (UFO) passing over it.
The 43-year-old painter and decorator decided to shoot the New Year’s Eve fireworks from the top of Billinge Hill.
When the fireworks display was over, he pointed his Sony camera to the moon for a few minutes while him and mates, who had joined him on the hill, had a beer drinking.
After a couple of drinks, they headed back to Mike’s house to watch the video of the fireworks. But to their surprise, they spotted a mysterious object passing over the moon at 12.20am.
A non-alien believer Mike said: “I was very surprised as I only meant to shoot the first New Year’s moon. It got my friends and me talking. We kept rewinding it and debating about it.
Mike believes it is a satellite, but some of his friends are not so certain about it.
Mike said: “I don’t think it’s an alien, but it’s still a mystery – a strange thing in my camera. I don’t believe it’s a plane because they usually have flashing lights and leave a vapour. This strange object looks like it’s out of the atmosphere.”
Dumbfounded Mike is a self-employed painter and decorator. He has been filming things that look impressive for the last three years. He has also been running the YouTube channel Mike D, which he has been publishing his “interesting videos.”
Mike jokingly titled the video “The Black Knight,” a satellite that is believed to be an alien satellite and has orbited Earth for 13,000 years.
However, The Black Knight is generally considered as a myth.
Element 115: Infamous Alien ‘element’ mentioned over a decade ago in Area 51 added to periodic table
Element 115: Infamous Alien ‘element’ mentioned over a decade ago in Area 51 added to periodic table
With atomic numbers of 113, 115, 117, and 118, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) announced the addition of these four elements to the periodic table, but one of them, Element 115 was already announced in 1989 when Bob Lazar, famous area 51 whistleblower revealed to the public that the UFOs possessed by the government were powered by a mysterious ‘Element 115.’ Of course at that time, the claims made by Lazar were tagged as absurd as the scientific community had no knowledge of ‘Element 115’.
In 2003, his statements gained more credibility when a group of Russian scientists managed to create the elusive element, and now, twelve years after that achievement, the discovery of ‘Element 115’ was finally confirmed after numerous tests which verified its existence.
However, the scientific version of ‘Element 115’ drastically differs from what Lazar has described over the years, since according to reports, the element decays in less than a second and cannot be utilized for anything. Unununpentium, the temporary name for Element 115, is an extremely radioactive element; its most stable known isotope, ununpentium-289, has a half-life of only 220 milliseconds.
In 2014, Lazar was interviewed by Geroge Knapp where they discussed ‘Element 115’ or Ununpentium where Lazar dismissed early findings surrounding Element 115, statig that he was confident that further testing will produce an isotope from the element which will match his initial description.
“They made just a few atoms. We’ll see what other isotopes they come up with. One of them, or more, will be stable and it will have the exact properties that I said,” Lazar told Knapp.
Bob Lazar, who was ridiculed because of his sensationalistic claims, states that he worked in the past at Area 51, where top secrets projects are being developed. Interestingly, on several occasions he was subjected to a polygraph: The testing confirmed his statements regarding the secret researcher facilities and alien technology present inside some of the most infamous bases in the United States.
According to Lazar, the so-called “UFO’s” were not built by humans, the cabins inside of the craft were extremely small and only a child could fit into them. Lazar claims that these “Flying saucers” were built and piloted by extraterrestrial beings. Mysteriously, it seems as if the UFO’s were made out of one single piece, they did not have a welding point and were made from a material unknown on Earth.
In addition to ‘Element 115’, scientists introduced 113, 117, and 118. Interestingly, all of these four elements are super heavy, lab-made and VERY radioactive.
“The chemistry community is eager to see its most cherished table finally being completed down to the seventh row,” said Professor Jan Reedijk, president of the Inorganic Chemistry Division of IUPAC.
“IUPAC has now initiated the process of formalising names and symbols for these elements temporarily named as ununtrium, (Uut or element 113), ununpentium (Uup, element 115), ununseptium (Uus, element 117), and ununoctium (Uuo, element 118).”
Curious about Methane and Organic Molecules on Mars
Curious about Methane and Organic Molecules on Mars
At the 2014 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), scientists announced two important discoveries made by NASA’s Curiosity rover. The findings included Curiosity’s detection of organic molecules in drill samples taken from a mudstone that once sat on the bottom of and ancient martian lake. The second finding was a spike in levels of atmospheric methane at the rover’s research site.
Curiosity is the rover element of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission and landed on Mars in 2012. One of the key goals of MSL is to explore the potential for past or present habitable environments on Mars, and part of this objective is to search for organic compounds of either biological or non-biological origins. To accomplish this goal, Curiosity has been examining the martian regolith, drilling into martian rocks and taking samples of the planet’s atmosphere.
Organic Findings
Curiosity carries the most powerful tool for studying volatiles (chemicals with low boiling points often found in gaseous form) and organic compounds (molecules containing carbon and hydrogen) ever sent to Mars: the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite. So far, SAMhas made thirty-four measurements from ten different sites on the planet. The first was a scoop of wind-deposited sand and dust at a place called Rocknest. The elemental composition of the samples was similar to soils previously studied by the Mars Exploration Rovers, Opportunity and Spirit. This meant that the windblown materials were likely widespread on Mars and could have been blown into Curiosity’s landing site from further afield. Curiosity also found methane, a carbon-containing molecule composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. However, the methane was chlorine-bearing, meaning that one or more of the hydrogen atoms had been replaced by chlorine. The thought was that the chlorine came from sources on Mars, but the carbon came from terrestrial sources.
Curiosity drilled into this rock target, “Cumberland,” during the 279th Martian day, or sol, of the rover’s work on Mars (May 19, 2013) and collected a powdered sample of material from the rock’s interior.IMAGE CREDIT: NASA/JPL-CALTECH/MSSS.
Curiosity then traveled into a region called Yellowknife Bay and found evidence of an
ancient lake of liquid water and a flowing river in the area. The rover drilled two holes (John Klein and Cumberland) in a formation of mudstone rock informally dubbed ‘Sheepbed,’ which formed more than 3.5 billion years ago at the bottom of the lake. Curiosity found that the clay-rich composition of the mudstone was ideal for preserving organic molecules. In addition, chorine-bearing hydrocarbon molecules were present, but in larger quantities than in the windblown materials at Rocknest. The quantity and structure of the molecules suggested that the organic carbon could have come from the mudstone itself, or that it was at least present on Mars before Curiosity arrived.
This discovery is what led researchers to announce that organics had definitely been identified on Mars. This announcement at the AGU conference was followed by a paper, “Organic molecules in the Sheepbed Mudstone, Gale Crater, Mars,” which featured on the cover of the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets (1). The publication describes how data from Curiosity, combined with the analysis of blank samples and supporting laboratory experiments, provided the necessary evidence to conclude that organic molecules indigenous to the martian sample had been detected.
Since publication, the team has continued their work, delving deeper into the findings at Cumberland (CB) and making sure that they could not be the result of contamination or any other error. Additional molecules indigenous to the CB sample were later discovered in the same set of data, and further publications are now in preparation.
The research team uses SAM to perform a technique known as pyrolysis-GCMS. The samples are pyrolyzed (heated) to ~900 ºC and the gases that evolve from them are flushed into the instrument for separation by gas chromatography (GC) and identification using a mass spectrometer (MS). Researchers can then look at the molecules, specifically identifying some, and for others they are able to figure out the pathways that led to their formation. Information about their chemical properties can also be gleaned, providing a great deal of information about the original/precursor compounds from which they were derived.
The SAM team also developed and used derivatization. In this technique, a reagent reacts with compounds found in the sample, and those compounds are transformed into new ones of similar structure, known as derivatives. Those derivatives are more volatile than their precursors and can be analyzed more easily. This allows researchers to identify bigger molecules such as amino acids or carboxylic acids, which are typically degradation products of proteins or fatty acids.

The samples collected by Curiosity, whether sand or rock, contain a mixture of chemical compounds. Pyrolysis-GCMS and derivatization-GCMS helps scientists separate the different compounds in order to understand the composition of the sample.
“Following the first Cumberland (CB) pyrolysis-GCMS results, we ran a derivatization experiment on a CB sample we kept in SAM for a year,” said Caroline Freissinet, an astrobiologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. “There was a leak in one of our derivatization cups, and the derivatization reagent MTBSTFA was spreading in the samples held in SAM.”
Freissinet and her team used the leaking reagent to perform an opportunistic experiment that is helping them better understand the composition of the samples collected by Curiosity. Rather than trying to stop MTBSTFA leaking into samples, they allowed enough time to take advantage of the leak and maximize the amount of MTBSTFA in order to soak the CB sample. Then they performed the derivatization experiment without having to puncture a cup.
“From this opportunistic derivatization experiment, we detected complex molecules that are difficult to identify specifically,” explained Freissinet. “However, the mass spectra of the derivatized molecules detected in CB points towards general structures, such as long-chain carboxylic acid and long-chain alcohol, and at least one functionalized aromatic compound.”
The team is still working on identifying the precursors that led to these complex molecules, but their preliminary results were presented at the 46th Lunar Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in March (http://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2015/pdf/2934.pdf ) and at the 2015 Astrobiology Science Conference (AbSciCon) in June (http://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/abscicon2015/pdf/7504.pdf). Ultimately, they believe that some of the molecules are products of reactions that involve complex organic precursors present in the CB sample. Previous work by Benner et al. (2000) provides some clues about the types of molecules that could have led to the formation of the products identified in the pyrolysis and derivitization experiments.
“We cannot be sure about the precursors, but benzocarboxylates, which were predicted to be the most stable end-products of several organics that would be present at Mars’ near-surface by Benner in 2000, are good candidates,” said Freissinet.
Curiosity and the team behind SAM didn’t stop with the Cumberland samples. The rover rolled to a site called Pahrump Hills, located at the base of Mount Sharp, a mountain in the center of Gale crater that towers over the landing site. A new drill sample dubbed Confidence Hills was collected and, with this sample, scientists were able to announce that the detection of organic molecules at CB was indeed definitive evidence of organics that were martian in origin.

Simply finding organic molecules does not mean they are linked to life. These molecules, which are typically built from atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, can be made in a myriad of ways that do not involve living organisms. However, life is built from these types of molecules and their discovery can help astrobiologists determine whether or not the ingredients for life’s origin were present on ancient Mars when liquid water was available at the surface.
“The origin of this organic matter (biological vs. abiotic) cannot be determined, and both hypotheses are valid,” said Freissinet. “Hence, the organic matter may be exogenous from meteorites, micrometeorites or comets, or indigenous from hydrothermal formation or biological origin.”
Yet, proving that the carbon did not come from Curiosity itself is a big step, and now the question is, “where on Mars did it come from?” As Freissinet mentions, there are a few possible answers to this question. The carbon might be from Mars itself, originating from geological processes on the planet or even biological processes. A second possibility is that it was delivered from exogenous sources, like meteorites, comets or interplanetary dust particles floating through space. Organic compounds have been detected previously in all of these exogenous sources, and if they fell to the surface of Mars they could undergo reactions that would make them stable enough to build up in the martian regolith.
The definitive discovery of organic molecules on Mars provides important context for life’s potential on the planet, and locations where habitable environments may have persisted in the past. These molecules are critical to the origin of life as we know it, and provide clues as to whether or not life could have found a foothold on Mars. They can also help scientists understand what types of signatures future missions could look for in order to identify signs of past or present life. These measurements represent the first detection on Mars of indigenous organic compounds in surface rocks and address a long standing objective of the Mars exploration program. With the whole set of capabilities of the SAM instrument, scientists are now planning experiments to look into the origin of the organic molecules present in Mars’ subsurface.
Burps of Methane on Mars
The second big discovery from Curiosity was the detection of elevated methane levels in the atmosphere local to Gale Crater. Curiosity wasn’t the first mission to get a whiff of martian methane. Earth-based telescopes and orbital missions at Mars had detected the organic chemical in the past. However, when Curiosity first stretched its wheels at Gale Crater, the rover found only a small fraction of methane in the atmosphere. This raised questions about where and how methane signals could be detected on Mars. Then came the 2014 announcement.
The results presented in 2014 showed a ten-fold increase in methane levels local to the Gale Crater site. It was a large increase over previous measurements, but it was also short-lived. The methane signal dropped down to low levels shortly after it appeared.

The methane cannot be taken as a sign of biology because there are plenty of non-biological sources that could have produced it, such as interactions between water and rocks. However, no matter where it came from, the sharp spike in methane could mean that its source is localized to a specific area.
At first, scientists questioned whether or not the methane spike could have been caused by contamination released from Curiosity itself. That was the first question the research team had to address.
“I cannot find any logical argument to convince me that the methane detected by SAM was leaking from the rover,” said Sushil Atreya, a co-author on the study and professor of Climate and Space Sciences and Director of the Planetary Science Laboratory at the University of Michigan. “First, the rover itself does not generate methane. As for any methane that went to Mars with the rover from Earth, there was ample time for it to dissipate. Multiple observations made under different rover orientations and wind fields throughout the year, and before the methane spikes appeared, showed only a low background level of methane.”
If methane had been trapped somewhere in the rover, the likelihood of it remaining trapped for so long without dissipating is low. Keep in mind that the rover had been driving around the surface since 2012. In addition, methane returned to the same low background level after the spikes were detected (2).
“If the rover were leaking methane into the instrument, it would have shown up at other times also, rather than just when the spikes were detected,” added Atreya.
Curiosity used an instrument called the Tunable Laser Spectrometer (TLS) to detect the methane spikes. There is some methane contained in the foreoptics of the TLS, but the amount is miniscule compared to the amount detected in the spikes.

“A conservative estimate is that one thousand times more methane is required to produce a 10-meter diameter cloud 7 ppbv methane around the rover than the entire amount of methane in the foreoptics, not even accounting for the fact that the cloud would need to be replenished continually over the two-month period of the spikes as methane dissipates away,” added Atreya. “In view of the above, I’m confident Curiosity is detecting martian methane at all times, not terrestrial methane hanging around the rover nor methane leaking into or out of the instrument.”
One possible source of the low levels of methane observed by Curiosity could be the breakdown of organics at the surface. As mentioned, organic molecules can originate from sources beyond Mars, such as cosmic dust or meteorites. After being delivered to the surface of the planet, the organics are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun and are eventually broken down over time.
“Geology and biology are still the most plausible origins of the methane observed by Curiosity on Mars,” said Atreya. “Although, UV degradation of surface organics delivered by exogenous sources may be sufficient for the low background level of methane, geologic and biotic contributions are not ruled out.”

Although not impossible, this gradual breakdown of organics is not a likely source for the dramatic spikes in methane detected by Curiosity. For exogenous organics to serve as a source of the methane spikes, a specific event would have had to occur in order to release a quick burst of methane.
“Existing SAM data argue for serpentinization and/or methanogenesis as the most likely mechanisms for elevated levels of methane seen in the spikes,” said Atreya. “The methane spikes did not coincide with any specific meteor events on Mars, but we plan to investigate this possibility further in future observations.”
Serpentinization is a geological process that involves water being added to the crystalline structure of minerals found in rocks. It does not involve biology, but often occurs under geological stresses like heat or pressure. Methanogenesis is a biological process in which methane is a byproduct of metabolism. Either of these processes could be responsible for quick bursts of methane being released into the atmosphere, especially if methane was stored in clathrates that can be destabilized by any number of stresses. Right now, there is no indication as to which process is the most likely source of the methane Curiosity sniffed out, or whether or not there might be another explanation for Curiosity’s measurements altogether.
“The burps of methane we observed over a two-month period in 2013-2014 (Ls 55.7 and 81.7 deg) indicate that Mars is presently active,” explains Atreya. “However, we are constantly looking into alternate hypotheses as well.”
To explore other possible sources of methane, Curiosity is continuing to monitor changes in methane levels. The team is also considering other measurements that they could take to better understand the behavior of methane on Mars and how it interacts with other gases in the planet’s atmosphere, such as oxygen.
“Additionally, we plan to do targeted observations of methane to time with any meteor showers on Mars,” says Atreya.

Other missions may also help add to the story of methane on Mars, working with Curiosity to gain a better picture of methane on the planet as a whole. India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) entered martian orbit in the autumn of 2014. The European Space Agency’s (ESA)Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is currently scheduled to launch for Mars in 2016.
“Both MOM and ExoMars TGO carry methane sensors,” said Atreya. “If successful, they have the potential of mapping methane over Mars, something a relatively localized rover cannot do.”
From orbit, MOM and ExoMars TGO will help hunt for hotspots of methane at the martian surface. They will provide maps that show when and where methane appears, and how those levels of methane vary over time.
“Combining those maps with in situ, on-surface data on methane by Curiosity holds the promise of giving new insights into the sources and sinks of methane on Mars,” said Atreya.
The exact origins of organic molecules and atmospheric methane on Mars are still unknown, but the answers get closer with each observation made by the international team of robotic explorers currently operating at the planet.
Astrobiology and SAM
Curiosity’s SAM instrument is the most complex analytical chemistry laboratories ever delivered to another planet. One of SAM’s most important astrobiological goals is to search for evidence of ancient habitable environments in Gale crater that could have supported life in Mars’ past.

Have you ever asked yourself Why the mainstream media hide and refuse to acknowledge UFOs?
Have you ever asked yourself Why the mainstream media hide and refuse to acknowledge UFOs?
Have you ever asked yourself Why the mainstream media hide and refuse to acknowledge UFOs?
Have you ever asked yourself Why the mainstream media hide and refuse to acknowledge UFOs? There’s no subject more ignored, shunned and discounted by the mainstream media than that of UFOs.
It’s absolutely true (this refusal to report, that is) and for the life of me, I can’t understand why. The implications of the ostensibly deliberate disinterest are unfathomable not to mention those of a government cover-up. In fact, the prominent ufologist Stanton Friedman calls it in effect the Watergate of the millennium.
The subject of flying saucers represents a kind of Cosmic Watergate, meaning that some few people in major governments have known since July, 1947, when two crashed saucers and several alien bodies were recovered in New Mexico, that indeed SOME UFOs are ET. As noted in 1950, it’s the most classified U.S. topic.
And note, he unabashedly calls them flying saucers and not UFOs. How can this subject, the subject, the existence of extraterrestrial beings, especially now as the latest iteration of Star Wars breaks all box office records, be of no interest to the media? And moreover, as newsrooms are shuttered, as news resources are pared and slashed, as the current crop of journalistas are desperately shaking the bushes for something, anything, to report on or cover, how can the most fascinating subject that has captivated humans since time immemorial not be leapt upon with the usual ferocity? A cursory review of the Internet reveals numerous countries along with the Vatican openly acknowledging the existence of UFO files and investigations. Do you mean to suggest there exist no enterprising media types who are unwilling to vouchsafe the fact of the investigations themselves without verifying or acknowledging the existence of alien life and interstellar adventure?
I’ve asked this question for years and renew my query, especially in view of one-time chief of staff to Bill Clinton and an outgoing advisor to Barack Obama, John Podesta and his confession this year as to his biggest regret, viz. not securing the disclosure of UFO files. RT’s Manila Chan and I discussed this very topic in The Year in Space: 2015.
Yahoo News reported that at a 2002 presser organized by the Coalition for Freedom of Information, Podesta spoke as to the necessity and importance of disclosing government UFO investigations to the public.
“It’s time to find out what the truth really is what’s out there,” he said. “We ought to do it, really, because it’s right. We ought to do it, quite frankly, because the American people can handle the truth. And we ought to do it because it’s the law.”
Why not jump on his words for that AHA! moment? Especially from the likes of the consummate White House insider. As this is a subject of great interest to me I provide the following opinion and educated hunch.
First, in full disclosure, I’ve never witnessed or viewed anything that I could or would remotely categorize as extraterrestrial, UFO-esque and/or the like. In fact, I never gave the subject much thought for most of my life, choosing instead to believe the oft-cited trope that folks who claim to have observed flying space critters were usually drunk, draft, hallucinating or combinations thereof. I’d laugh at the usual account of some hayseed roused from sleep in his double-wide only to be anally probed by some macrocephalic, almond-eyed central casting ET.
After all, the notion was preposterous. Right?
Wrong.
Enter the Internet and my road to Damascus moment. I happened upon the work of Mr. Friedman, a nuclear physicist and University of Chicago classmate of Carl Sagan, and immediately delved into the subject. I simply had no idea the amount of first-hand accounts, eyewitness testimony, reports and radar records, you name it, that comprised the repository of data. Not to mention the oft-yet misquoted Project Blue Book Special Report No. 14. Yes, No. 14! What about 1-13? Good question, but that’s for another time. But suffice it to say that as for the plenitude of data that you will find when you dip into this subject, the level of misunderstanding and disinformation is simply amazing. Amazing when you consider the certitude employed by those who emphatically reduce the subject to mythology and folklore.
But what about the media and their reluctance and refusal to give any attention to the matter? Here are my suppositions, hypotheses and theories.
Institutional bias. The media reflect the world around us. They take no chances, buck no convention and challenge no public opinion. As far as they know, any suggestion as to the viability of the theory that aliens or extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) exist or have been spotted is a no-no. Similar to the notion of the conspiracy theory, these subjects represent a journalistic no man’s land and the unwritten rule is that if coverage of any form is had it will be in a jocular presentation, minimizing any suggestion of the story’s veracity or verity. In other words: It’s understood that it’s to be disregarded.
Scientific illiteracy. This represents the crux of scores of issues that are given short shrift or ignored altogether by an increasingly juvenescent newsroom. Newsers have been told that interstellar travel is pert near impossible for a host of reasons they’ve yet to verify or attempt to comprehend. Unimaginable distances, limitations on light speed are but a few. They’ve simply accepted what is to be excepted.
Blind acquiescence and patellar, Pavlovian governmental obeisance. The last thing your government would want is for there to be an acceptance of the notion that not only have we been visited (and are) but that evidence of such has been kept from the masses. And not because of the usual theory posited that we would run into the streets crazed and panicked à la the 1938 Mercury Theatre’s War of the Worlds, but because interstellar travel most probably involves a means of a locomotion source that didn’t involve chemical combustion such as antigravitic propulsion. And when petrochemical combustion in particular is not necessary, can you imagine the impact this would have on a world economy dependent on the petrodollar and petrocracies?
The dissolution of nationalism and the emergence of the “Earthling.” Just imagine what the world would look like reconfigured to think not as mini-jurisdictional borders such as countries or tribes, sects, religions and the like, but as a complete and contiguous assemblage of Earthlings. So long jurisdictional tiffs. Adios, religious disquietude. Toodle-oo, nationalism and sectarian identification. Hello, fellow inhabitants. “Kumbaya” meets “We are the world.”
Now, let me remind you what the media believe are critical and worthy of mention without surcease – Steve Harvey’s Miss Universe misfire, the latest viral video of a duck playing the piano and anything Donald Trump related. No, that’s front page. That’s the lead. But the umpteenth sighting of potential interstellar, extraterrestrial intelligent craft?! Nope. Not interested. They’re just too busy.

NASA just saw something come out of a black hole for the first time ever
NASA just saw something come out of a black hole for the first time ever
You don’t have to know a whole lot about science to know that black holes typically suck things in, not spew things out. But NASA just spotted something mighty strange at the supermassive black hole Markarian 335.
Two of NASA’s space telescopes, including the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), miraculously observed a black hole’s corona “launched” away from the supermassive black hole. Then a massive pulse of X-ray energy spewed out. So, what exactly happened? That’s what scientists are trying to figure out now.
“This is the first time we have been able to link the launching of the corona to a flare,” Dan Wilkins, of Saint Mary’s University, said. “This will help us understand how supermassive black holes power some of the brightest objects in the universe.”
NuSTAR’s principal investigator, Fiona Harrison, noted that the nature of the energetic source is “mysterious,” but added that the ability to actually record the event should provide some clues about the black hole's size and structure, along with (hopefully) some fresh intel on how black holes function. Luckily for us, this black hole is still 324 million light-years away.
So, no matter what strange things it’s doing, it shouldn’t have any effect on our corner of the universe.
Scientists can now “squeeze” light, a breakthrough that could make computers millions of times faster
Scientists can now “squeeze” light, a breakthrough that could make computers millions of times faster
Light-powered computers would work millions of times faster. (Reuters)
Have you ever wondered why we don’t use light to transmit messages? Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, but while we use light to carry signals along fiber optic cables, we use electrons to process sound and information in our phones and computers. The reason has always been because light particles–photons—are extremely difficult to manipulate, whereas electrons can be manipulated relatively easily.
But now a group of Harvard physicists has taken a major step toward solving that puzzle, and have brought us one step closer to ultra-fast, light-based computers.
The physicists, led by Professor Eric Mazur, have created a material where the phase velocity of light is infinite. Their results werepublished in Nature Photonics on Oct. 19th.
“The phase speed is infinite—much larger, infinitely larger than the speed of light,” Mazur tells Quartz.
This doesn’t mean light itself is traveling faster than the speed of light, which would violate the laws of relativity. “Phase velocity” refers to the speed of the crest of waves that ripple out when light strikes a material. The Harvard scientists created a material that allows these wave crests to move infinitely fast. This is a strange thought to wrap your head around, and means the crests of the waves are oscillating through time, but not space. Under these peculiar conditions, the Harvard scientists found that it’s easy to manipulate the photons, squeezing them down to the microscopic scale and turning them around. In other words, we can treat photons in the same way we currently manipulate electrons.
And it’s electromagnetic waves that count when it comes to telecommunications. “These waves are everywhere,” says Mazur. “We can talk on mobile phones because, in our phones, there are electrons that move up and down to create a wave. This wave travels to the antennae of the phone company and makes electrons there move up and down, which can be detected and turned into electrical signals that can be turned into an audio signal.”
That means the potential commercial uses for this discovery are massive. We won’t see light-based computers yet, as there are still several obstacles to address, but Mazur and his team have overcome a key challenge. “Usually, light needs to be handled very carefully and squeezed very slowly,” says Mazur. “With our material, you relax those constraints completely. You can bend the light, squeeze it, twist it.”
Light-powered telecommunications would allow phones and computers to process information millions of times faster. And because light conserves energy far better than electrons (which tend to waste energy by creating heat), battery lives would be far longer.
It may seem that we already transmit communications pretty fast. But if we could use light to process messages, everything would get a whole lot faster.
Hilary Porter of B.E.A.M.S. recently posted on Facebook a photograph taken in Ramsgate England on 19th Jul 2012 The image was taken during the Olympic torch relay at Ramsgate on the morning of July 19, 2012 and this photo was snapped by a local resident.
Here is the photo in question.
This is the information that was presented regarding his image…..
“The UFO (near top right in pic), was not seen at the time, and only later noticed when transferring her images to a PC. Note how the mystery object is in the background and the tree is in the foreground – thus discounting the falling leaf theory…Some people have even tried to suggest that this is simply the top of a streetlight; but look at the inset on image below where I have enlarged the object… (they don’t even have that shape of ‘lamp’ in this part of the town anyway; rather they use the more decorative conical style, as can be seen in the foreground), so that idea also falls by the wayside… and this is certainly not a bird; what else could it be? dirt on the lens?… now we are getting truly desperate for an explanation!”
Everything points to this picture being unprocessed, (e.g. not the product of ‘Photoshop’ or an similar image editing tool/app), so this looks to be yet another perfectly legitimate, accidental capture of a UFO!”
Immediately i knew what it was. It was a streetlight.
Knowing that B.E.A.M.S investigators were qoute: “…truly desperate for an explanation!”
I thought id investigate this matter a bit more for myself and see if i could prove my own conclusion.
So off to Ramsgate i went. Via Google maps/street view. Upon arriving and taking a short stroll down the streets of Ramsgate, i quickly ascertained that my initial labeling of the UFO as a streetlamp was indeed 100% spot on the money.
I then took some screen savers and created a similar image for comparison and in addition, provided a 100% match to the object seen on the image that B.E.A.M.S. were so desperate to identify.
So i posted the results of my findings to Hilary Porter and then quickly found that i had been blocked. I then posted my findings on the B.E.A.M.S Facebook page and was also expelled from the group.
I am truly shocked at this level of behaviour from a UFO group QUOTE: “…truly desperate for an explanation!”
No dialogue was exchanged, no thanks was given. I was simply blocked by B.E.A.M.S investigator Hilary Porter for solving the Ramsgate UFO Mystery. And then kicked out their group.
I am truly disappointed in the behaviour of B.E.A.M.S and the way they conduct themselves. It’s a sad day for Ufology indeed.
Below: the matching streetlights i found within seconds of using Google Maps Street view in Ramsgate. UFO/Streetlight top right.
“…You were blocked because I am sick of idiots who think that know everything – when clearly they know jack-all and are just a pain. Look, they don’t even have that type of streetlight in this part of Ramsgate town – they use the attractive, conical lamps (note the red circle), – not ugly overhanging streetlamps as you’re suggesting… we have done our homework…” Hilary Porter
Below: Image highlighting cropped streetlight, -identical to the one shown on the original image.
Below, enlargement of the streetlight. Note the raised bit on top.
Below: The Ramsgate UFO ……note the matching raised area.
Mystery Solved. No Thanks from B.E.A.M.S ….Just blocked. For solving their case. Sad days eh? Not the sort of behaviour i’d expect from a UFO group. Ever.
Hilary Porter yesterday:
I have just removed the Ramsgate case from our FB page, (it was causing too many arguements), but the report remains on our main BEAMS (archives section) – because that was no streetlight – they don’t even use that style of lamp in that part of Ramsgate, (see red circle), but rather the more decorative, conical style, but anyway… here’s another case from the archives with a very similar shape of object that was captured: read report here:http://www.beamsinvestigations.org/UFO%20Over%20Audenshaw,%… Now, is this a streetlight? GGMS… no wonder I have deactivated our FB page more times than I care to remember… out of sheer frustration!
Ok then Hilary, please have a look at the images below. Check Mate. Your argument is invalid.
UPDATE ON INVESTIGATION.
*******************************************
Less than 24hrs after first labeling the alleged UFO on the B.E.A.M.S facebook post as nothing but a streetlight, ive been able to provide enough evidence that supports my summary. So in return i was blocked by Hilary Porter and expelled from the B.E.A.M.S. Facebook page.
For telling it like it is. A spades a spade. Sure it would be great to open our imaginations and wish and want and hope to believe that its E.T. but its only a streetlight.
I wasnt happy about being excommunicated for shedding light on this mystery and thanks to one of my the top tech assistants in my team, i was provided with the final nail in the coffin for Hilary Porter and B.E.A.M.S with regards to this matter.
I was also disgusted to see that another non related image was also inserted alongside the original image as this was misleading. So Hilary Porter and B.E.A.M.S the question i have to ask is……Are you proud to operate in this way? blocking people who expose you to the truth? It would seem that you cant handle the truth and i am tickled that i was able to shed light on this.
Do you think the papers would have fun with a UFO group that could not accept the truth?
Its a streetlight Hilary. Deal with it.
B.E.A.M.S. RAMSGATE UFO MYSTERY SOLVED.
THE ICING ON THE CAKE
New and ongoing developments regarding this case.
I was informed by Hilary Porter on Facebook that
QUOTE:
You were blocked because I am sick of idiots who think that know everything – when clearly they know jack-all and are just a pain. Look, they don’t even have that type of streetlight in this part of Ramsgate town – they use the attractive, conical lamps (note the red circle), – not ugly overhanging streetlamps as you’re suggesting… we have done our homework. We have numerous ufos of this type on our site – well away from any possible, imaginary ‘posst’ and ‘poles; – many in the middle of nowhere, clear, crisp objects shaped just like the Ramsgate example… It is people like you who are ruining this subject – you simply can’t accept the fact that some things in this life simply cannot be explained in rational terms; streetlamp my eye… for heavens sake, don’t you think that we considered that it was a streetlamp – we have been UFO investigators and experiencers since 1991 … so please do not insult our intelligence. THAT’S WHY YOU BLOCKED AND REMOVED… MR ‘CASE SOLVED’…. NOT!
**********************************************
So now ive been informed its people like me that know jack shit, don’t do my homework ….don’t know the area, that i have not been a UFO investigator since 1991 and that im ruining the subject and insulting the intelligence of the B.E.A.M.S team.
WOW!
But there’s more, check out the new low that B.E.A.M.S. investigator Hilary Porter has now sunk to…
Well Hilary, cyberbullying, an even wilder claim than your Ramsgate UFO.
It was a nice of you to explain the reasons why i was blocked.
Now eat humble pie and enjoy the bottom line. You were proven wrong and in the process you insulted and shamed you and your group in the process.
The truth hurts eh?
here it is again. case you never seen it.
Yours truly,
Mr Case Closed.

Massive UFOs Filmed Over Santiago, Chile
Massive UFOs Filmed Over Santiago, Chile
A massive UFO sighting has been captured on tape by a Chilean local.
The spectacular moment shows how four unidentified massive objects are hovering over downtown Santiago, Chile’s capital and largest city, and after they disappear from the field of view, other small bright UFOs take their place.
The first four flying objects slowly move across the sky before disappearing one by one. They keep no formation and have a few particularities that may identify them as human-made crafts.
But what about their other unexplained characteristics?
The massive UFOs share the same cigar shape and have four lights that flicker as they hover over the city. These could be either safety lights or coming from a quad-engine prototype, but considering that safety lights are usually colored, the four-engine hypothesis seems more viable. After the massive crafts slowly leave the area, other small UFOs come in their stead. They perform some kind of ritual this time, like following a pattern.
The smaller crafts remind us of the speeding orb UFOs, but judging after the speed and pulsating light, it’s likely that they are something else.
Are these spectacular UFOs man made? Military crafts or authentic alien ships? What are your thoughts?

The Science of the X-Files: Can Extraterrestrial Life Survive a Trip to Earth on a Meteorite?
The Science of the X-Files: Can Extraterrestrial Life Survive a Trip to Earth on a Meteorite?
It's January, X-Files fans, which means we have less than a month to wait before our favorite alien conspiracy show returns for a six-episode miniseries. The pilot (which we saw at NYCC), airs on January 24th, but until then, we're going to give you daily articles about the fascinating science behind the X-Files, courtesy of science advisor Anne Simon and her book "The Real Science Behind the X-Files: Microbes, Meteorites, and Mutants."
In the X-Files episode "Tunguska," Mulder and Scully discover a meteorite has unleashed the alien Black Oil virus on the populace. In the first season episode, "Ice," a Thing-esque alien life form is found preserved in a frozen tundra but was originally delivered to Earth on-you guessed it- a meteorite. But could alien life ever actually reach Earth this way?
"In 'Tunguska' and the earlier episode 'Ice,' meteors are the delivery systems for alien hitchhikers that are able to invade a human host. This brings up several interesting questions," Simon writes. "What are the chances that an alien microbe could survive a trip through space on a vehicle that lacks such basic amenities as an atmosphere, temperature control, sunscreen, refreshments, and brakes?"
While at first blush, bacteria surviving in space may seem like a "fantasy worthy of Mulder's imagination," scientists have been theorizing that alien bacteria hitches rides on meteorites for years. In fact, many astrobiologists believe that life may have been "seeded" on Earth through unintended contamination from meteorites, comets, and asteroids, a theory known as panspermia. Extremely hardy microscopic life forms such as extremophles can survive all sorts of environments, including the anoxic, dessicated Moon and radioactive waste, so it's theoretically possible that these bacteria could survive the grueling trip to Earth.
"Believers in panspermia are not just science fiction junkies. Francis Crick (Nobel laureate and co-discoverer of the structure of DNA) supports the theory of panspermia as does noted English astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle. Even Dana Scully, in "Biogenesis," the last episode of the sixth season, concedes that panspermia is a plausible hypothesis."
Although panspermia is, of course, just a theory, evidence has been mounting since The X-Files went off the air in 2002. Most recently, scientists from the Central European Institute of Technology proved that this phenomenon is physically possible, and a further study from the Harvard Center of Astrophysics claims that panspermia would follow a distinctive pattern that we may able to detect (or not detect) in the not-so-distant future:
"In our theory clusters of life form, grow, and overlap like bubbles in a pot of boiling water," lead author Henry Lin said in August.
According to this new model, the locations of life would follow a pattern which could potentially be detected by burgeoning human technologies. Life would spread outwards in all directions, taking root when it reached a habitable environment. This would lead to overlapping clusters of life, or oases spread all over the galaxy, resembling the "outbreak of an epidemic":
"Life could spread from host star to host star in a pattern similar to the outbreak of an epidemic. In a sense, the Milky Way galaxy would become infected with pockets of life," said co-author Avi Loeb.
That sounds like an X-Files episode in itself, no?
She says Huddersfield is a hotbed of activity and has sent the Examiner videos which she believes are evidence that UFOs are buzzing the skies around the town.
She said: “I was sorting my things out for the morning and running a bath. I walked back into the bedroom and it was like I had gone into a trance.
Sue Sill, of Outlane, has been filming UFOs over Huddersfield for years
“I sat down on the bed and the next thing, some figures appeared. They were really small and they had black skin or were wearing black suits.
“They had long, thin arms and their faces were obscured, like a liquid. I was thinking, ‘oh God, what’s happening here?’
“They came to the side of the bed and something like a veil came over me. The next thing I knew I was in a space on a craft looking at Earth.
“The craft was iridescent like a bubble, I could see everything around me. I was thinking, ‘how can I be looking at the Earth?’
“The creatures spoke with telepathy and were showing me the Earth. At once there was a massive explosion on Earth, like a mushroom, and my heart sunk.
“When the creature put its hand on my shoulder it was like ET with a long middle finger. It was like it was feeding off my emotions. I remember the creature saying, ‘don’t worry, you will be all right’.
“I didn’t feel they wanted to harm me or the people on Earth, I think they were concerned about what’s happening on Earth. We are destroying the planet.”
But our readers have expressed a mix of scepticism and surprise on social media.
Paul Tom Bookfast said: "This doesn't mean it's of alien origin. Unless there is solid evidence that they have landed and greeted us for the whole world to see then no they haven't visited.
"I do believe they're out there but it's outrageous to think that people have been abducted. I'm sure they have better things to do than visit Huddersfield and watch what Sue's doing in her kitchen."
Richard Htfc Maguire said: "We are but a grain of sand in an infinite universe to actually believe we are the only sentient beings in the whole universe would be so ignorant, but then again we are good at that as a race."
Johnny Pound said: "I'm thinking, if I was an Alien travelled light years with obviously advanced technology we couldn't start to understand, why would you pick Yorkshire let alone Huddersfield, as nice as they are, have I missed something?"
And Mark Wilkinson added: "I believe she saw what she saw and i saw that silver ball in the sky over Honley last year but did not know what it was !! Just thought there may be a reasonably explanation and not ufos but who knows."

Command Sergeant Major James Norton: I Have Proof Of Alien UFO!
Command Sergeant Major James Norton: I Have Proof Of Alien UFO!
Command Sergeant Major James Norton: I Have Proof Of Alien UFO!
Way back in September 1977, during the Joint Attack Weapons Systems Test (JAWS) at Fort Benning Georgia, the entire base witnessed what appeared to be a UFO invasion. As much as 1300 troops were involved in this incredible event. Most were left with severe psychological trauma and “missing time” gaps.
Command Sergeant Major James Norton, who is now stationed at Fort McClellan, Alabama. He was a buck sergeant (E-5) at the time when he witnessed an eerie encounter with UFOs and the military on September 14, 1977. He was sent to the range a little just before midnight along with around 1200 to 1300 troops to perform live fire with their new weapons systems called JAWS (Joint Attack Weapons System). The Secretary of the Army at the time was actually at the range too!
Command Sergeant Major James Norton: I Have Proof Of Alien UFO!
Command Sergeant Major James Norton remembers clearly when they started the live fire training when all of a sudden there were large orbs way up high in the night sky above them. The next thing he witnessed was what appeared to be lasers crisscrossing through the night sky. The command of ‘cease fire’ was heard shouted out towards the troops, because there was something down range. Military helicopters appeared suddenly out of nowhere. Explosions were then heard, complete madness had broken out around him! Orbs in the night sky were changing a variety of different colours, a lot like the kind of Orbs that are being seen around the world today! Then a Triangle shaped UFO showed up. The soldiers around Norton were in complete shock and awe at this spectacle that was now suddenly in front of them.
After this incredible incident many soldiers became very ill. Every soldier who witnessed this crazy event was briefed that if they were to EVER disclose any information reference the night of these bizarre events, they would be court marshalled immediately and sent to Leavenworth. When Norton eventually obtained his medical records it disclosed that his illness was of unknown origin, his temperature was 104, he was placed in a steel tub of iced water for 2 days, to help bring his temperature down.
Norton had a memory lapse or as we know it in UFO ‘Speak’ it is also called “missing time”. He could not remember how he was on the range and then later found himself alone in the woods. There was an awful lot of time disorientation. During a hypnosis session, he learned that he was actually abducted and taken aboard an unknown craft. Medical experiments were conducted and samples were taken from his body.
After the incident two jets came in that appeared to be white washed, no numbers or identification were on the jets. The jets were there purely to collect UFO crash site debris!
UFO Proof:
Norton picked up a metallic piece from the crash site that had/has strange hieroglyphics on it. This metallic piece cannot be burned. A hacksaw will not cut it either and if you bend it, it will just go back to its original shape. Norton has this metallic piece apparently BURIED AT HIS PROPERTY!?
Norton is now willing and ready to show this evidence to some credible UFologists and to the media! Norton claims he has a 100% proof of UFOs being real, with this solid piece of evidence that he held onto since the incident itself!!
Military helicopters shot down:
The military helicopters that were shot down during the incident, were never actually ever reported to the FAA. He was also burned from a mysterious red substance from this incident!?
Norton is now stationed at Fort McClellan, Alabama and describes how they experiment with biological and chemical substances on this base and that something else is going on there. There is UFO activity at this base, it seems that our military is test flying UFOs all over the base!
One side note: For 62 years, the School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia, has trained some of the worst human rights abusers in the hemisphere. Watch HERE & also the U.S media blackout HERE
Other Proof:
Norton even has some incredible night vision footage of all of the UFOs in their different colours taken on the base. He also has footage of a UFO going from one horizon to another horizon in only about a mere 2 seconds. He has video footage of a triangle shaped UFO that hovers over the base, no sound being emitted from it. He has all of this video footage for any credible Ufologist to review, of which he now ready to share with the right people!
John Vasquez, Co-Author of ‘Incident at Fort Benning ’ recounts his experience as a soldier at Fort Benning in down below video :
U.I.P Summary
When people of an official rank like senior ranking Military Personnel, Astronauts etc, talk seriously about UFO’s and Aliens it’s important that the people of this world listen up to what they have got to say!
This is a fascinating story and something which clearly has a lot of question Marks against it! Us guys at U.I.P are going to try to reach out to Norton, to see whether we can be the ones he discloses all of his secrets too!
Something obviously happened that night back in September 1977, and it’s very interesting the fact that these multi coloured Orbs are being seen in their MASSES nowadays!!
U.I.P
A video of a more recent light Orb seen in the sky:
De Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA opent met het Planetary Defense Coordination Office een centrum dat maatregelen moet nemen om de aarde te beschermen tegen de mogelijke inslag van gevaarlijke objecten uit de ruimte.
Onze ogen moeten op de hemel gericht blijven
John Grunsveld (NASA)
Het centrum zal een leidende positie innemen wat betreft de coördinatie van de internationale inspanningen om de aarde te beschermen tegen een impact van een asteroïde of een meteoriet. Dat gaat van het opsporen van de objecten tot het in kaart brengen van de kans op een inslag op aarde en de maatregelen die dan zouden moeten worden genomen.
"We nemen dit erg serieus", zegt John Grunsfeld van de NASA. "Op dit moment is er geen directe dreiging, maar de grote vuurbal in Tsjeljabinsk in 2013 en de recente passage van de Halloweenasteroïde houdt ons alert. Onze ogen moeten op de hemel gericht blijven."
Vandaag zijn er 13.500 near-Earth-objects ontdekt door astronomen overal ter wereld. Deze ruimtestenen, veelal asteroïden, cirkelen in een baan die - in astronomische termen -"rakelings" langs de aarde scheert. Elk jaar worden er ongeveer 1.500 nieuwe van zulke objecten ontdekt.
Negentig procent van de ontdekte asteroïden zijn groter dan een kilometer diameter. De zoektocht richt zich nu met name op brokstukken die kleiner zijn, tot de grootte van een voetbalveld.
WETENSCHAPHet enige dat je nodig hebt om een dichtbijgelegen, actief zwart gat te zien, is een telescoop van 20 centimeter. Dat zeggen Japanse onderzoekers, die ontdekten dat de activiteit van zwarte gaten waargenomen kan worden als een scherpe uitbarsting van licht.
Die schijnbare contradictie ontstaat wanneer een zwart gat materie van een nabijgelegen ster aantrekt. Eens in een paar decennia kan zo een zwart gat in actie schieten. Het rukt dan materie van de ster weg en slokt het op, waardoor een uitbarsting van licht vrijkomt.
Gelijkaardige uitbarstingen werden tot nu to enkel geobserveerd met röntgen- en gammatelescopen. Maar voor het eerst ontdekten wetenschappers nu dat de activiteit ook met bescheiden optische telescopen, bestemd voor thuisgebruik, zichtbaar is.
De Japanners vingen de eerste tekenen van activiteit van het zwarte gat V404 Cygni op met een gammadetector op de NASA-ruimtetelescoop Swift. Dat gebeurde in juni vorig jaar, toen het zwarte gat uit een 26 jaar lange winterslaap ontwaakte. Daarop schakelden ze collega's wereldwijd in om optische telescopen op het zwarte gat te richten.
In het vakblad Nature schrijven de onderzoekers hoe de telescopen in de twee daaropvolgende weken lichtflitsen van het zwarte gat opvingen. Die flitsen duurden telkens enkele minuten tot een paar uur. Sommige van de gebruikte telescopen hadden een lens van amper 20 centimeter.
"We weten nu dat we observaties kunnen doen op basis van optische stralen, of zichtbaar licht, en dat zwarte gaten geobserveerd kunnen worden zonder hoogtechnologische röntgen- of gammatelescopen", schrijven de onderzoekers in Nature.
Het zwarte gat dat bestudeerd werd is een van de meest dichtstbijzijnde van onze aarde, en heeft een partnerster die iets kleiner is dan de zon. Het zwarte gat en zijn ster cirkelen elke 6,5 dagen rond elkaar, op zo'n 8.000 lichtjaren hier vandaan.
De flikkeringen ontstaan wanneer de materie die in het zwarte gat verdwijnt x-stralen verspreidt, die de achtergebleven materie verhitten. Daardoor lijkt het zwarte gat extreem helder, ondanks de waas van gas en stof die het omringt.

Mysterieus geluid houdt West-Nederland in de ban - HLN.be
Mysterieus geluid houdt West-Nederland in de ban - HLN.be
Het westen van Nederland is in de ban van een mysterieus geluid. Van diverse plekken komen meldingen van mensen die de afgelopen weken vreemde tonen in de lucht hebben gehoord.
Martijn Mastenbroek uit Pijnacker zat afgelopen zondagavond thuis toen hij opeens een merkwaardig geluid hoorde. "Het was net of je trompetten hoorde schallen", zo blikt hij terug. "Het was een drukkend geluid, dat een seconde of vijf aanhield. Nee, het was niet de wasmachine. Het kwam echt van buiten. Mijn vriendin hoorde het ook."
Ook elders in de regio duiken meldingen op van het vreemde geluid. Zo kreeg Mastenbroek via Facebook veel bijval van mensen die het 'trompetgeschal' zondagavond óók hadden gehoord. Ook in Bleiswijk zou het vreemde geluid te horen zijn geweest. En uit Gouda dook al een filmpje op, waarin het geluid ook daadwerkelijk is vastgelegd.
Buitenaards leven Op internet wemelde het meteen van de wildste geruchten. De een houdt het op experimenten van het Amerikaanse leger, de ander denkt aan buitenaards leven. En ene professor Khalilov uit Azerbeidzjan zou hebben gesteld dat de geluiden veroorzaakt zijn door krachtige uitbarstingen van de zon of door 'krachtige energetische processen' vanuit het binnenste van de aarde.
Bij het KNMI achten ze die laatste theorie 'onwaarschijnlijk'. "Ik kan me niet voorstellen dat zonnevlammen of het aardmagnetisch veld verantwoordelijk zijn voor dit soort geluiden", zegt geofysicus Läslo Evers. "Ik heb daar in elk geval nog nooit enig bewijs voor gevonden." Maar wat is het dan wel? "Ik heb de filmpjes op internet aandachtig bekeken. Het is een hoog geluid. Omdat het door veel mensen over een groot gebied is waargenomen, moet het om een grote bron gaan. Ik denk zelf dat het vanuit een groot industrieel complex afkomstig is. De Rotterdamse haven? Dat kan ik niet beoordelen."
Onderzoek Evers sluit ook niet uit dat het geluid afkomstig is van vliegtuigen. "Maar om er gericht iets over te kunnen zeggen, zou nader onderzoek gedaan moeten worden. Met metingen kan je de exacte aard van het geluid vast stellen. Daarna kan je een stuk makkelijker de bron opsporen. Nu blijft het toch een beetje gissen."

UFO Sighting with Pulsating Orb Lights in Broadway, North Carolina, Jan 4, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Sighting with Pulsating Orb Lights in Broadway, North Carolina, Jan 4, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: January 4, 2016. Location of sighting: Broadway, North Carolina. This UFO was caught this week and looks like an energy entity that continually morphs itself into a different shape. The object will change from a triangle, star, rectangle to a flat object all in a few seconds. These UFOs are the easiest to see at night, because of their glowing and are often reported above Canada and Colorado. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Bob Lazar Explaining his Engineering Work on Alien Spacecraft at Area S4, Inside Area 51. Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of interview: Unknown Location of UFOs: Area S4, where they back-engineer alien recovered tech. Area S4 is over the mountains from the main base Area 51. Bob Lazar once worked in Area 51 and saw eight alien disk, all different and learned that the USAF knew of 56 space faring species. Even a CIA agents deathbed confession confirms it all. People often confuse where Area S4 is, so here it is on Google Map. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
News states: Bob Lazar is the alleged UFO whistleblower whose claims of working on back engineering alien spacecraft at Area 51 have made the secretive base famous. Officials have denied his claims that he worked for the government as a scientist. Robert Scott Lazar or Bob Lazar (born January 26, 1959, in Coral Gables, Florida, United States, to Albert Lazar and Phyllis Berliner), claims to have worked from 1988 until 1989 as a physicist at an area called S-4 (Sector Four), located near Groom Lake, Nevada, next to Area 51. According to Lazar, S-4 served as a hidden military location for the study and possible reverse engineering of extraterrestrialflying saucers. Lazar says he saw nine different discs there and provides details on their mode of propulsion. His critics have asserted that "Lazar's credibility crumbled" after "schools he was supposed to have attended had no record of him, while others in the scientific community had no memory of ever meeting him."
Cyclist Films UFOs Above A Cornfield In Krakow, Poland
Cyclist Films UFOs Above A Cornfield In Krakow, Poland
A video showing bizarre lights in the sky left viewers baffled. It was unknown as to when the video was taken, but apparently recorded in the month of September 2015 and posted in December of the same year.
According to the report, a man riding his bicycle noticed some very strange lights in the sky in front of him. The lights appeared over a cornfield in Krakow, Poland.
After cleaning up the pixelated video, it somehow shows a foggy ground. The footage reveals five lights with another larger one, much more visible in the sky – possibly the moon.
It’s difficult to determine the lights’ identity because of the shakiness of the bicycle ride and the movement of the lights.
The cyclist appears to leave the main road and ride into the corn plants. It is also hard to determine whether the cyclist leaves the path to get a better view of the lights, or he just lost his balance.
Some say the lights are balloons, but their movement seems to rule this out. Observe the video and tell us what you think in the comment section.

A journey beyond a terrestrial perspective, revealing the fears, hopes, and rituals of a species forced not only to confront alien life forms, but also its own self image. THE VISIT, a documentary.
Here is our interview with the makers:
Who is looking into what will happen when aliens land?
An extraordinary number of people have considered this seriously: staff at the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, legal sources,NASA personnel, space scientists, former military representatives, and experts in space communications and engineering.
In your new film The Visit: An Alien Encounter, I was most struck by the to-camera contributions of Paul Beaver and Vickie Sheriff, former Ministry of Defence personnel in London.
To be frank, I found it strangely reassuring to find such highly professional people in charge of the political machinery. Politicians may come and go, but civil servants are around forever.
They seemed to have a very clear idea of what would happen if we were visited by aliens and how to handle them. How did that make you feel?
The most frightening aspect for me was Beaver’s sense of how public panic would cause society to break down. I thought panic leading to Armageddon was just a Hollywood cliché, but the MoD officials I spoke to had seen this process under way during the Bosnian conflicts of the mid-1990s. Their assumption – that society tips into anarchy very quickly – was deadly serious and sincere. Beaver and Sheriff told me, more or less, that the varnish of society is very thin: fear cuts through it quickly.
So was Sheriff more worried by people than by extraterrestrials?
She knows how to balance risks. If such advanced beings meant us harm, they would have harmed us by now. She’s much more worried that we would harm peaceable aliens by making mistakes.
One of your interviewees, Jacques Arnould, a French theologian, said that when we’re confronted with something alien we need to treat it like a human. Do you agree?
I think he was getting at something deeper. Society’s varnish is our willingness to treat each other as beings like ourselves. If you want to communicate with aliens, you have to invest them with human characteristics, because where else do you even begin? The same applies to how you treat other people.
“Our way of thinking is perhaps just as dogmatic as religious thinking in the Middle Ages”
That’s the promise scientific thinking has been holding out to us since the Renaissance: that the world can be understood, and that we can command the world through our understanding of it. In this, our present way of thinking is perhaps just as dogmatic as religious thinking in the Middle Ages, which only permitted certain ways of perceiving and thinking about reality. Meeting a true alien would challenge our assumptions. Before us would be a dynamic agency utterly unknown to us.
Why do aliens so disturb our reality?
Because there’s this gulf between a scientific understanding of life and the way we experience it. In the film I asked Christopher McKay, an astrobiologist with the NASA Ames Research Center, if life was blind to everything beyond its own survival. He said yes, life just wants to live. A human being, in trying to extract amazing knowledge from the universe, is just doing what living things do. It’s investing in its future. It’s expanding.
What’s wrong with that?
Nothing. But it’s not enough. It doesn’t include the fact that we experience life through emotions, dreams and feelings. Towards the end of the film, Chris Welch, of France’s International Space University, imagines entering an alien craft. His thought experiment expresses extraordinary courage and open-mindedness. I hope we can bring such an attitude to an alien encounter if it happens for real.
And there’s hope in the fact that we conjure up aliens in the first place. We long to be seen by something other than ourselves, because then our own existence is strengthened. Alongside it is this suspicion that perhaps the alien is resting inside ourselves: that while we’re alone in the universe, we don’t truly know who we are ( via newscientist.com ).
