Strange spheres falling from the sky in North Atlanta (Video)

On January 20, 2016 at approximately 1:24 pm in North Atlanta, strange bb size spheres fell from the sky.  

 

Witness states: What I thought was sleet turned out to be a clear salty hard unknown matter. I still have them and plan to send them somewhere to be tested for what in the world it is!

 

Could the atmosphere of earth have been propagated by wave frequencies just prior to one of the most historic storms in US history?

And the strange ‘salty’ spheres have been sprayed into the atmosphere at high altitudes in order to make it snowing sooner and heavier than it might have done?

 

We have seen it before that Governments have the ability to cause massive floods, droughts, earthquakes and other severe weather patterns by using technologies to devastating effects – even on their own people, indeed.

CIA maakt tijdens nieuwe seizoen The X-Files honderden UFO-documenten openbaar

Afgelopen weekend werd in de Verenigde Staten de aftrap gegeven voor zes nieuwe afleveringen van de iconische tv-reeks The X-Files. De Amerikaanse spionagedienst CIA besloot op hetzelfde moment honderden documenten vrij te geven over het onderzoek naar UFO’s.

Op de website van de CIA staat dat de stukken vooral afkomstig zijn uit de jaren veertig en vijftig. “We hebben besloten om een aantal documenten onder de aandacht te brengen die zowel sceptici als believers interessant zullen vinden,” meldt de spionagedienst.

De CIA kondigde de openbaring van de stukken aan op Twitter:

Take a Peek Into Our #XFiles 5 docs for Mulder & 5 for Scully #TheTruthIsOutThere http://1.usa.gov/1SCbcjj 

7:40 PM - 24 Jan 2016

De documenten hebben onder meer betrekking op vliegende schotels die zijn gezien boven Oost-Duitsland, vliegende schotels boven uraniummijnen in Belgisch-Congo en de bevindingen van het wetenschappelijke adviespanel over ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten.

De CIA verwees rechtstreeks naar de hitserie. De spionagedienst droeg vijf documenten aan die ‘Fox Mulder goed kan gebruiken om anderen te overtuigen van het bestaan van buitenaardse activiteit’. Er zijn ook vijf documenten openbaar gemaakt die ‘Dana Scully kan gebruiken om te bewijzen dat er een wetenschappelijke verklaring is voor UFO-waarnemingen’.

Nieuwe onbekende planeet al in 1983 ontdekt?

Er is afgelopen week nogal wat opwinding ontstaan doordat enkele astronomen de ontdekking van een onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel aankondigden. 

De hele wereld deed uiterst verbaasd want niemand had dit verwacht. Complete onzin natuurlijk want de planeet waar deze twee astronomen over spreken, is al heel lang bekend. 

De wereld heeft meestal een kort en vaak ook een nogal selectief geheugen. Zo kan het gebeuren dat alles en iedereen afgelopen week in staat van opwinding verkeerde vanwege de ontdekking of liever gezegd de berekening van een nieuwe planeet in ons zonnestelsel.

In 1983 verscheen het volgende artikel in The Washington Post:

Het grote verschil met het verhaal van astronomen nu en het verhaal toen is dat het in 1983 wel degelijk werd waargenomen. 

Wat niet in het gedrukte artikel stond, maar nog wel steeds online staat bij de Washington Post, is het volgende stukje: 

The mystery body was seen twice by the infrared satellite as it scanned the northern sky from last January to November, when the satellite ran out of the supercold helium that allowed its telescope to see the coldest bodies in the heavens. The second observation took place six months after the first and suggested the mystery body had not moved from its spot in the sky near the western edge of the constellation Orion in that time. 

Zoals we inmiddels weten, verdwijnt na 1983 de onbekende planeet plotsklaps uit beeld en is nu ineens weer terug. 

Waar we dus over praten is een grote planeet die niet of nauwelijks schijnt te bewegen: 

Planeetonderzoekster Daphne Stam van de TU Delft noemt de ontdekking een verrassing. Er zijn de afgelopen jaren wel veel dwergplaneetjes gespot in de buitengebieden van het zonnestelsel, 'maar dit is echt een joekel'. 

Waar we hier dan ook over praten is niet de planeet X of Nibiru, maar de zusterplaneet van onze zon. Een planeet die door Nancy Lieder en de Zeta’s al zo'n twintig jaar geleden werd omschreven als de planeet Nemesis. 

De planeet Nibiru en de bijbehorende planeten en manen draaien zowel om deze planeet als om onze zon en verschijnen ook uit de richting van Nemesis en verdwijnen na de passage ook weer die kant op. 

De voornaamste reden dat deze zogenaamde binaire tweeling van onze zon nooit wordt waargenomen, is omdat het altijd een donkere ster is gebleven en geen licht uitstraalt zoals onze zon. Het geeft daarom ook nauwelijks enige warmte af en is derhalve bijna niet op te merken, behalve door telescopen zoals de infrarode IRAS in 1983. 

Daarmee is dan ook de reden verklaard dat toen IRAS na zes maanden voor de tweede keer deze onbekende planeet vastlegde, deze ogenschijnlijk niet van positie was veranderd. Net zoals in ons zonnestelsel voor ons de zon niet van positie veranderd, zo gaat dit ook op voor de zusterplaneet van de zon. 

De planeet Nibiru en de andere planeten bewegen echter wel degelijk in de bekende ovale omloopbaan om hun zon, de net opnieuw ontdekte zusterplaneet van onze zon. 

De reden dat men het bestaan van deze planeet en de om haar heen bewegende planeten zoals Nibiru tot nu altijd geheim heeft gehouden, is om de elite de kans te geven de nodige voorbereidingen te treffen zoals gigantische ondergrondse schuilplaatsen en soms zelfs complete steden. De tweede reden is dat men de wereld zolang mogelijk normaal wil laten doordraaien. 

Nu komen we langzamerhand in een periode waarbij zich zoveel vreemde verschijnselen voordoen dat men er toch niet aan zal ontkomen om op een gegeven moment het bestaan van een aantal onbekende planeten toe te moeten geven. WE hebben altijd voorspeld dat het scenario zich zo zou ontvouwen.

Je ziet nu hoe het gaat in de praktijk. Ondanks dat er gewoon aan te tonen is dat men al heel lang op de hoogte is van een grote onbekende planeet in ons zonnestelsel reageert de hele mainstream-wereld, als op commando, heel verbaasd.

Mensen die nog steeds moeite hebben met het concept van een aantal planeten waarvan ze nooit het bestaan vermoedden, willen wij aanraden om zich eens te verdiepen in wat er gebeurde na 1983. 

Waarom zijn ongeveer vanaf die datum enorme ondergrondse projecten opgestart? 

Waarom wordt vlakbij de Amerikaanse stad Denver niet lang daarna begonnen met de bouw van het meest enge vliegveld ooit? De werkelijke reden is niet omdat er zo nodig een nieuw vliegveld moest komen, maar wel omdat er een excuus moest zijn om te beginnen met de bouw van een ondergrondse stad. 

Een vliegveld dat landingsbanen heeft in de vorm van een hakenkruis.... maar hey, dat is toeval.

Het vermoeden van een ondergrondse stad onder dit vliegveld bestond al veel langer, maar kon nooit echt bewezen worden totdat ook hierover klokkenluiders begonnen te praten. 

Nu is de tijd dat ongeveer alle ondergrondse faciliteiten klaar zijn en belangrijke instanties zijn verkast. 

Zo vind je in de al eerder geciteerde Washington Post al vanaf 2005 verhalen over hoe de CIA bepaalde afdelingen heeft verhuisd naar Denver omdat dit efficiënter zou zijn. Naast de CIA duiken er nog veel meer veiligheidsinstanties op in Denver. Niemand begrijpt trouwens dat dit de efficiëntie zou bevorderen. 

It is unclear how a move to Denver would increase the effectiveness of the domestic division's operations, said several former intelligence officials. 

Colorado has become a major intelligence hub since Sept. 11, 2001. 

Bovenstaande is slechts een kleine greep uit over hoe men wel degelijk weet van het bestaan van onbekende planeten in ons zonnestelsel en hoe men zich al tientallen jaren bezighoudt met het voorbereiden hun komst. 

Het enige dat eigenlijk nu nog rest is om te kunnen vaststellen wanneer deze passage van Nibiru met bijbehorende satellietplaneten zal plaatsvinden. 

De meningen daarover zijn enorm verdeeld en het enige correcte antwoord is dat helemaal niemand (of bijna niemand) dat weet. 

Niemand van de huidige mensheid heeft ooit zoiets meegemaakt en ook onze voorvaderen niet, dus van de geschiedenisboeken worden we ook al niet veel wijzer. 

We zitten op dit moment in een fase waarin duidelijk wordt dat er “iets” is en dat er bepaalde ongewone gebeurtenissen plaatsvinden zoals de vreemde geluiden en de vreemde lichten zowel op in ieder geval aarde alsook op Mars. 

In de komende jaren zullen waarschijnlijk bepaalde verschijnselen heftiger worden en zullen er misschien nog meer “vreemde” dingen voorvallen. 

Een goede manier om te ontdekken of er werkelijk wat staat te gebeuren, is om de agenda’s van de elite te controleren. Op het moment dat zij zo ongeveer allemaal een periode hebben met “lege agenda’s” kun je er gevoegelijk vanuit gaan dat er iets staat te gebeuren. 

Gezien de manier waarop ze zich op dit moment gedragen, lijkt daar op dit moment vooralsnog geen sprake van.

Harvard is trying to build an AI as fast as the human brain

A reconstruction of cortical connectivity

Harvard University has been awarded $28 million (£19m) to investigate why brains are so much better at learning and retaining information than artificial intelligence. The award, from the Intelligence Advanced Projects Activity (IARPA), could help make AI systems faster, smarter and more like human brains. 

While many computers have a comparable storage capacity, their ability to recognise patterns and learn information does not match the human brain. But a better understanding of how neurons are connected could help develop more complex artificial intelligence.

Most neuroscientists estimate that the 'storage capacity' for the human brain ranges between 10 and 100 terabytes, with some evaluations putting the number at close to 2.5 petabytes. In terms of functionality, the human brain has a huge range -- data analysis, pattern recognition and an ability to learn and retain information are just a few processes the brain goes through on a daily basis. 

A human being only need look at a car a few times to recognise one, but an AI system may need to process hundreds or even thousands of samples before it's able to retain the information. Conversely, while functionality may be more complex and varied, the human brain is unable to process the same volume of data as a computer.

Harvard's John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), Centre for Brain Studies (CBS) and Department of Molecular and Cellular Biologies will work together to record activity inside the visual cortex. This, they hope, will help us understand how neurons are connected to each other with the end goal of creating a more accurate and complex artificial intelligence system. These learnings could allow the creation of the first computer systems that can interpret, analyse and learn information as quickly and successfully as human beings. 

The systems could be used to detect network invasions, read MRIs, drive cars, or complete just about any task normally reserved for human brains. The project will generate over a petabyte of data, which will be analysed by a series of complex algorithms to create a detailed 3D neural map.

DON'T MISS

US military wants to help us control computers with our thoughts

"The pattern-recognition and learning abilities of machines still pale in comparison to even the simplest mammalian brains," said Hanspeter Pfister, professor of computer science at Harvard.

"The project is not only pushing the boundaries of brain science, it is also pushing the boundaries of what is possible in computer science. We will reconstruct neural circuits at an unprecedented level from petabytes of structural and functional data. It requires us to make new advances in data management, high-performance computing, computer vision and network analysis". 

Once the detailed neural map has been collated, the teams will try to understand exactly how connections between neurons allows the system to process information. These 'biologically-inspired' algorithms will far outperform current AI capabilities, and could see major improvements in computer vision, navigation and recognition. 

"This is a moonshot challenge," said project leader David Cox, assistant professor of molecular and cellular biology and computer science. "The scientific value of recording the activity of so many neurons and mapping their connections alone is enormous, but that is only the first half of the project. 

"As we figure out the fundamental principles governing how the brain learns, it's not hard to imagine that we'll eventually be able to design computer systems that can match, or even outperform, humans."

“We have a huge task ahead of us in this project, but at the end of the day, this research will help us understand what is special about our brains," he added. "One of the most exciting things about this project is that we are working on one of the great remaining achievements for human knowledge -- understanding how the brain works at a fundamental level."

A Russian scientists injected himself with a 3.5 million year old ‘bacteria’ found in Siberia and the results are staggering

Controversial ‘Mad Scientists’ Anatoli Brouchkov has injected himself with a 3.5 million year old bacteria said to be the key to ‘eternal life’. Broushkov found the revolutionary cells in the Siberian permafrost and says that ever since he injected himself with the bacteria, he feels stronger and healthier than ever.

 

The cells discovered in the Siberian permafrost have an incredible level of vitality and high resistance to environmental factors. Tests on animals showed that these cells substantially increased physical activity and strengthened the immune system.

 

Prof Anatoli Broushkov is the head of the Geocryology Department at Moscow State University and according to Russian media, he has not gotten sick in two years, ever since he started experimenting on himself.

 

The 3.5 million year old Bacillus F is believed to be a key component in improving the longevity of humans. Researchers from Russia have managed to unlock the DNA of the bacteria and have been testing it on Mice and human cells. Broushkov however decided to test it out on himself, the results? A healthy and strong body resisting time better than ever.

 

 

What makes this bacteria so special? Well Bacillus F as it has been dubbed by scientists has managed to survive for millions of years in Siberia, one of the most extreme places on Earth.

 

‘I started to work longer, I’ve never had a flu for the last two years,’ he told The Siberian Times

‘After successful experiments on mice and fruit flies, I thought it would be interesting to try the inactivated bacterial culture.’

 

Prof Broushkov believes that there are trace amounts of the bacteria in the water supplies of the region.

 

 

‘The permafrost is thawing, and I guess these bacteria get into the environment, into the water, so the local population, the Yakut people, in fact, for a long time are getting these cells with water, and even seem to live longer than some other nations. So there was no danger for me.’

 

At first it was difficult to understand what the bacteria was doing with inside the body said Broushkov.

 

‘But we do not know yet exactly how it works. In fact, we do not know exactly how aspirin works, for example, but it does. ‘The same is true here: we cannot understand the mechanism, but we see the impact.’

 

‘Perhaps there were some side-effects, but there should be some special medical equipment to spot them.’

 

‘Of course, such experiments need to be conducted in clinic, with the special equipment and statistics.’

 

‘Then we could say clearly about all the effects.’

 

‘If we can find how the bacteria stays alive we probably would be able to find a tool to extend our own lives,’ he told RT in an interview.

 

The 3.5 million year old bacteria could not only be the key to human longevity but it can be a key factor to fertility say scientists. Once injected into mice, Bacillus F allowed older female mice to reproduce after they stopped being able to. The bacteria has the ability to heal plants as well.

 

Dr Viktor Chernyavsky, an epidemiologist from Yakutsk described the discovery as a ‘scientific sensation’ and as an ‘elixir of life,’ saying ‘The bacteria gives out biologically active substances throughout its life, which activates the immune status of experimental animals.’

Colonel Halt addresses nation on the rendlesham UFO

A Doctor Claims To Have Proved Aliens Exist

Dr Richard O’Connor locked two motion detector cameras in the sky at his home in Helena, Montana in the U.S., which allowed him to snap nearly 280,000 photos.

But only on his recent photos he believes he’s able to capture the long-sought proof of alien-flown UFOs. Dr O’Connor, a semi-retired anesthesiologist at Helena’s St. Peter’s Hospital, claims he captures an object flying through the skies in a series of five pictures.

He says that even a hardened sceptic would say “wow!” as this is what he expects of a UFO would look. He adds that it appears to be a light source, and the photographs are evidence that UFOs are real.

After Dr O’Connor had posted those pictures online, a frenzy of debate flared among the UFO community, with some suggested they were not conclusive proof, and other said they were fake.
Now, he is enlisting more experts to check and examine the photos.

Dr O’Connor set up two Reconyx Hyperfire PC 900 Trail cameras, 30 feet above the ground on the south-east corner of his house, in hopes to get some evidence of UFOs once they set off the motion detector.

The cameras shoot 20 photos at about a second intervals when triggered by motion. They had captured several squirrels, birds, and windblown treetops, but Dr O’Connor believed he finally snapped proof of UFOs this winter.

He said: “Basically what you see is a very symmetrical, smooth and reflective surface that appears to have its light source.”

He further claims that he has no knowledge about image manipulation. His photos were sent to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), which keeps and investigates a database of UFO sightings.

Head of NUFORC, Peter Davenport, sent the pictures to a photo-analyst for further investigation. According to the unnamed analyst, the images are real, but still a mystery. The analyst suspects the lights in the first and last photos are sun reflections of something rather than any propulsion system. In conclusion, the analyst says it’s a puzzle to solve rather than a fake.

However, another analyst who also examined them suggested they were completely fake, which angered Dr O’Connor, who promised to take a polygraph test about the authenticity of his photos. Dr O’Connor said that what people saw in there was what came off that camera. He added that they were deserving to be studied in a well-funded, unbiased scientific study to determine if we were being visited.

A third analyst said that the photo was an interesting one. The colours of the object resembled the surrounding clouds and blue sky. It would occur naturally with highly reflective silver objects. The fact that it was 1/20 second frame could rule out balloons or other terrestrial objects. It also indicated the objects decelerated and accelerated and held the position for just one frame, as no elongated motion line would have occurred if the velocity was constant, explained the third analyst.

A new documentary about the space shuttle Challenger accident airs tonight (Jan. 25), three days before the 30th anniversary of the tragic event.

On Jan. 28, 1986, Challenger exploded just 73 seconds after blasting off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, killing all seven astronauts aboard, including Christa McAuliffe, whom NASA had chosen to become America's first teacher in space.

The new documentary, called "Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes," re-examines the disaster using contemporary audio recordings and rare video footage, including interviews with McAuliffe and clips of the New Hampshire social-studies teacher practicing some of the lessons she had planned to send down to kids on Earth from orbit. [Challenger Remembered: Photos from NASA's Tragic Shuttle Disaster]

"Christa was just a wonderful teacher, a wonderful human being and a wonderful representative of our profession," former NASA astronaut Barbara Morgan told Space.com. Morgan, an educator herself, served as McAuliffe's backup on the Challenger mission and eventually made it to space aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in 2007.

"Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes" premieres tonight at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on the National Geographic Channel. The film will also air on National Geographic Channels in 171 countries in 45 languages, and in Spanish on Nat Geo Mundo, network representatives said. You can watch a teaser trailer for the documentary here.

McAuliffe was a payload specialist on the doomed Challenger mission, which is known as STS-51-L. The other astronauts who lost their lives that day were mission commander Dick Scobee; pilot Mike Smith; mission specialists Judy Resnik, Ellison Onizuka and Ron McNair; and payload specialist Greg Jarvis.

Investigators later determined that a rubber seal called an O-ring in one of the shuttle's solid rocket boosters failed during launch, partly as a result of unusually cold weather (which caused the O-ring to harden).

This failure allowed hot, high-pressure gas to escape and damage Challenger's huge external fuel tank, as well as the equipment that attached the solid rocket booster to the tank.

The space shuttle fleet was grounded for 32 months in the wake of the Challenger disaster, finally taking to the skies again in September 1988 on Discovery's STS-26 mission. The program suffered another disaster on Feb. 1, 2003, when the shuttle Columbia broke apartupon re-entering Earth's atmosphere, killing all seven astronauts aboard.

The shuttles stopped flying for good in July 2011, and the surviving orbiters are now museum pieces. NASA currently relies on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to get its astronauts to and from orbit, though the space agency is encouraging privately developed American spaceships to perform this taxi service. Indeed, NASA awarded a total of $6.8 billion to Boeing and SpaceX in September 2014 to finish work on their crew capsules, which the agency hopes will be up and running by the end of next year.

"Challenger Disaster: Lost Tapes" airs tonight on the National Geographic Channel at 9 p.m. (check local listings).

Scientists Claim To Have Invented A ‘Magnetic Wormhole’

Scientists in Spain have created a “magnetic wormhole” in the laboratory which is reportedly capable of transmitting magnetic fields invisibly through space.

While the manufactured wormhole does not connect two separate points in “spacetime” as does a genuine theoretical wormhole and cannot answer physic’s and cosmology’s fundamental questions, it can however connect two points in three dimensional space, albeit electromagnetically.

Researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona have developed a spherical device capable of transferring a magnetic field from one point in space to another via a path that is magnetically undetectable. The results are published inNature.com.

Smash reports:

The experiment involved designing a three-layer device which had two spheres connected by an interior spiral cylinder. It enabled the magnetic field to travel from one point to another on a hidden path. The inner layer was made of a ferromagnetic mu-metal, giving it a high level of magnetism, while the next two layers worked to conceal the travelling field.

One was a superconductor shell that bent the field as it travelled through the ferromagnetic material, the other was a different mu-metal, cut and formed so as to cancel out the bending. The entire device was placed in liquid nitrogen to aide the superconductors.

Normally, as a magnetic field travels its path can be detected, but the device enabled it to disappear while in transit so it appeared to arrive from out of nowhere at its destination, like a cloaking effect.

“This device can transmit the magnetic field from one point in space to another point, through a path that is magnetically invisible,” said Jordi Prat-Camps, a co-author of the study. “From a magnetic point of view, this device acts like a wormhole, as if the magnetic field was transferred through an extra special dimension.”

While what’s been created isn’t a space-time wormhole, or Einstein-Rosen bridge, like the sort seen inInterstellar and Thor (see below), it does hold real-world potential. For instance it could have applications for MRI scanners which use strong magnets and require people to sit inside a huge machine.

Using a more refined version of this technique means the magnet could still be effective placed further away, doing away with the confined space of an MRI.

Of course, these are all the positive applications that it could possibly used for, but just to keep you on your toes the sphere does have more than a passing resemblance to a certain film (below), Event Horizon, where things didn’t go quite as planned:

Our solar system might not be the weird kid on the block after all. Astronomers announced this week that they’ve seen strong evidence for a planet around 10 times Earth’s mass lurking unseen in the outer solar system. If it bears out, this world would fill a hole in our solar system’s family tree: a missing super-Earth.

Super-Earths, also known as mini-Neptunes since they may be gassy or rocky, are among the most common planets in the Milky Way. Hundreds have been spotted in other solar systems over the past two decades, but even so there appeared to be none back home.

But now Konstantin Batygin and Michael Brown, astrophysicists at the California Institute of Technology, say they can make a convincing case for a super-Earth here in our solar system.

Only a giant planet will do

“We didn’t want to invoke a distant giant planet to explain anything about the outer solar system,” says Batygin. “We tried every trick in the book, and some that aren’t in the book. Simply nothing else worked.”

“We usually talk about how the most common type of planet, two to three times the size of Earth, is not found in our solar system, yet now we might have one,” says Sara Seager at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology. “That’s cool.”

But even if there is a super-Earth out on the edges of our solar system, we’re still pretty weird. “Even with Planet Nine bringing us a bit closer to the galactic planetary catalogue, the solar system does still appear to be an overall outlier,” says Batygin, as super-Earths in other star systems are much closer to their stars.

Jupiter is the culprit

Simulations of the young solar system suggest that the early formation of Jupiter probably prevented this from happening here. But those simulations also suggest that a super-Earth couldn’t have formed as far away as Planet Nine would have to be, at least, not then – there simply wasn’t enough material out there to make a planet that big.

So how did Planet Nine, if it exists, get all the way out there?

The answer must lie in the very beginnings of the solar system, when our stellar neighbourhood was a very different – and much more dangerous – place. “We know the process of planet formation is not placid,” says Batygin. “There was a very chaotic sequence of events.” Planets were thrown around by their gravitational pulls on each other, occasionally colliding, as in the process that is thought to have formed Earth’s moon.

Planet Nine was the “core of a giant planet, which was forming with the other planets we know and love, that was thrown out of the solar system,” says Batygin.

Violent births

“We know that Uranus and Neptune probably had a very violent final phase of formation,” says Sean Raymond of Bordeaux Observatory in France – they essentially came together through a series of collisions. Last year he and colleagues simulated this process and found that planets around five times the mass of Earth were ejected from the solar system during the pileup.

At the time the team didn’t think too much about their eventual fate, but hints of Planet Nine suggest one could have settled down into a lengthy orbit. “This extra planet could be representative of the building blocks of the ice giants,” says Raymond.

That gives us a new mystery: what prevented the planet’s escape? Brown believes that gas and dust in the very early solar system may have slowed down the planet, but Batygin has his eye on a different culprit: the other stars nearby in the early days of our solar system. He thinks that gravitational tugs from those stars, are the best candidates for slowing down Planet Nine enough to keep it in a huge, elongated orbit around the sun.

Random pattern or real object?

But Planet Nine might not even be there. While Batygin and Brown have pointed out compelling evidence for the existence of Planet Nine by studying the unusual orbits of six distant rocks called Kuiper belt objects (KBOs), that is not the same as a discovery, says Brown. “People are good at seeing patterns in places, and maybe we have just seen a random pattern and convinced ourselves it’s statistically significant. That’s my biggest worry.”

Future discoveries of KBOs will provide the true test. “If you find more of these objects and they really are randomly distributed around the sky, then it’s time for us to hang our heads in shame and retreat from the national media,” says Brown. But if the anomalies in the outer Kuiper belt remain, then Planet Nine will remain a likely explanation for them.

“Further work is needed to explain the origin of Planet Nine,” says Lucie Jílková of Leiden Observatory in The Netherlands, who last year suggested the strange orbits of these KBOs could be explained if they were stolen from a passing star. “Observations of more outer solar system bodies will help to further constrain and distinguish the theories.”

Lightbulb on the moon

If Planet Nine really is out there, with any luck astronomers will be able to spot it soon, despite the scant light it reflects from the sun. “Finding this object is like finding a lightbulb on the moon,” says Batygin. “But our calculations have provided a roadmap for where to look for this very dim object in the sky. Hopefully, that will trigger a hunt.”

We might even send a probe there one day. “It’s not as crazy as it sounds,” says Brown. “The way you do it is head straight for the sun, and as you swing around the sun and you’re getting this gravitational slingshot, you fire a whole bank of rocket engines.” Depending on the distance to Planet Nine, this could take anywhere from a few years to 20 years.

Other schemes like this have been proposed in the past, some with nuclear-powered rockets, but they never got past the planning stages. But a target like Planet Nine could make all the difference. “The societal impact of having that destination would be very exciting,” says Greg Laughlin at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “The stars are just too far away, we’re not going there. But this is a place where we could get to.”

ESA

Gaia spies, with its gigapixel eye, something beginning with “P”. The European Space Agency launched its Gaia space telescope in December 2013 to map the locations of a billion stars in the Milky Way, but it can also spot objects a little closer to home. Between September 2014 and December 2015 it made nine observations of Pluto and its moon Charon, which have served as a kind of eye test for the probe.

When you take an eye examination, your optometrist asks you to distinguish between increasingly small letters on a chart. The test is designed to determine the resolution of your vision. Having 20/20 vision means you can distinguish two distant objects separated by one sixtieth of a degree, otherwise known as an arcminute. Any closer, and the objects blur together, appearing as one.

Gaia can do the same trick with Pluto and Charon, though it is a little more difficult because both bodies are moving with respect to each other and the spacecraft, slightly changing their angular separation. But Gaia has the advantage of being in orbit. Observations from Earth’s surface can be thrown off by the shimmer of the atmosphere, which can slightly bend light and make it harder to distinguish distant objects.

A good warm-up

In seven of the observations, Gaia was able to make out both the dwarf planet and its moon, but only saw a single point of light in the other two.

From these measurements, Gaia team member François Mignard of the Côte d’Azur Observatory in Nice, France, was able to calculate that Gaia’s resolving power is between 0.23 and 0.36 arcseconds – around 200 times better than 20/20 vision.

Mignard says this value should improve once the Gaia team starts detailed analysis of data from binary stars, which also orbit each other. But it’s a good warm-up challenge for this particular test.

“Pluto and Charon have a symbolic value of a source not easy to resolve from the Earth,” he says. “These observations with Gaia epitomise the gain in spatial resolution we get when go outside the atmosphere.”

Gaia will also help pinpoint the orbit of Pluto, eventually bringing down errors in its measurement from 2000 kilometres to around 50 kilometres. Improvements will partly come from tracking Pluto itself, but also from clearing up the positions of the stars behind it, which should benefit all astronomical measurements, says Mignard. “This will be a lasting legacy of Gaia.”

A rumour that the world’s largest gravitational-wave observatory has caught the first whiff of its quarry is heating up.

Gravitational waves are ripples in space-time produced by massive bodies accelerating through space, such as pairs of neutron stars orbiting each other or the merging of two black holes.

They were predicted as part of Einstein’s general relativity a century ago, but have yet to be seen directly. Finding them would confirm the final piece of his theory, and also give us a new way to view the universe, allowing us to probe distant objects that might otherwise be dark or obscured by interstellar dust.

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) searched for such signals from 2002 to 2010 with no luck. Its more sensitive successor, Advanced LIGO or aLIGO, started collecting data on 18 September.

Fresh sighting

Barely a week later, cosmologist Lawrence Krauss at Arizona State University tweeted a rumour that the detector had already picked up a signal.

Now Krauss claims that the original rumour has been confirmed by an independent source.

“Stay tuned!” he tweeted. “Gravitational waves may have been discovered!! Exciting.”

Off Twitter, however, Krauss was more cautious. The signal could have been a false one deliberately injected into the data to test the detection team. “I’m told this isn’t that,” Krauss told New Scientist. His source says that the LIGO collaboration is writing up a paper on the possible find. “That suggests it’s not a false signal – but who knows for sure?”

The official word from the LIGO team is tha

t they are still analysing the data from the first run, which should finish on 12 January. “It takes time to analyse, interpret and review results,” says spokesperson Gabriela González at Louisiana State University. “We expect to have news on the run results in the next few months.”

“We’ll use something other than the rumour mill when we have a contribution to the discussion!” adds David Shoemaker at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

New X-files Series to Reveal: 9/11 Conspiracy, Global Warming, NSA Spying, Chem-trails, Police Militarization, FEMA Camps, and a “takeover of America” by a UN-like group of “multinational elites.”

Related Awakening Your Force | Science Fiction and Psychology - Star Wars, Ancient Tibet, and Jedi Training

The following is an article by Kauilapele regarding this newly rehashed X-files series set to debut this Sunday. With the items he highlighted, along with a fair understanding ufology, secret space program disclosures and the truth movement in general, it is easy to see how this show is hiding information in plain site. 

This section of an article he cites is particularly revealing:

“In the first return episode screened for reporters (trailer below), paranormal investigators Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) team up with a charming web-series host named Tad O’Malley… O’Malley eventually sways Mulder and Scully to adopt a new conspiracy that lays a framework for the six-episode revival. The theory involves global warming, war in the Middle East, NSA spying, chem-trails (here called “aerial contaminants”), police militarization, supposed FEMA prison camps, and the eventual military “takeover of America” by a UN-like group of “multinational elites.” [Sound familiar?]

“The most eyebrow-raising moment in the premiere is when O’Malley brings the 9/11 terrorist attacks into his conspiracy framework. “9/11 was a false flag operation,” O’Malley declares on his Truth Squad with Tad O’Malley show, echoing on Infowars theory. “It’s all part of a conspiracy dating back to the UFO crash at Roswell.” The clip is presented early in the episode. Later, Mulder and Scully embrace O’Malley’s overall position, though the 9/11 element isn’t referenced." (Emphasis added)

I think even the most close-minded person can see the writing on the wall. Clearly this show is an effort to label all these concepts and more as fictional, to be dismissed, ridiculed and scoffed at. 

But as a wise man once said: 

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”

Entertainment Weekly 1-12-16… “Fox’s X-Files revival has controversial new theories”

Le phénomène étrange dans le ciel Perrigny-sur-l'Ognon immortalisé

Voici un mystère qui ravira les amateurs d'Ovni et de Fox Mulder et Dana Scully en ce jour de retour sur les écrans (américains) de la célèbre série X-Files. Plusieurs témoins racontent en tout cas avoir vu la même chose en divers points de la Côte-d'Or samedi.

Que s'est-il passé samedi soir, vers 18h30, dans le ciel de Perrigny-sur-l'Ognon ? Mystère. Mais Guy et Eliane Rondot sont encore très marqués, ce dimanche matin, par ce qu'ils ont vu hier. 

A 18h30 donc, Guy se trouvait dans sa cour lorsqu'il a aperçu "une grosse boule orange scintillante, trois fois plus grosse qu'un avion". Une différence de taille que l'homme peut assurer puisqu'il certifie qu'un avion est passé dans le ciel juste après la première boule.

Le phénomène se répète quelques minutes plus tard

C'est à ce moment-là qu'Eliane découvre elle aussi ce qui traverse le ciel de la commune. "J'étais en train de fermer les volets quand j'ai entendu mon mari crier. Il me disait de regarder le ciel et c'est alors que j'ai vu ce cylindre orange qui brillait. Je suis partie couper le son de la TV, il n'y avait plus aucun bruit. Cette chose superbe donnait l'impression de glisser dans le ciel et ne laissait aucune trace derrière elle."

Et le couple n'est pas au bout de ses surprises. Car, selon leurs dires, trois autres "boules ou sphères" sont apparues une à deux minutes plus tard. Toujours avec le même silence et la même forme. Avant de disparaître à l'horizon vers le sud.

Deux autres témoins... à Seurre

Ce dimanche, le couple se demande toujours de quoi il peut s'agir. Et regrette de n'avoir pas eu le réflexe de prendre en photo ce qu'ils ont vu. D'autant plus que ni la gendarmerie ni la société d'astronomie de Bourgogne n'ont eu de signalement de la sorte pour le moment. Ce qui n'empêche pas Guy et Eliane d'être confiants : "C'était tellement impressionnant, on ne pouvait pas le rater. D'autres gens ont forcément vu la même chose..."

Et justement, à peine notre article était-il publié que Sophie Petitjean, une internaute, nous contactait. "Mon copain et moi-même avons vu la même chose mais dans le ciel de Seurre en regardant dans la direction de Chamblanc. Nous n'avons pas de photos, je conduisais et le phénomène a rapidement disparu", explique-t-elle. 

Et si c'était la lune ? 

D'autres internautes sont, en revanche, plus sceptiques et avancent une hypothèse : la lune. En effet, celle-ci était pleine samedi soir et avait une apparence un peu différente de d'habitude. Parmi eux, Lionel raconte : "Nous étions sur l'autoroute A38 avec ma famille. Je me rappelle avoir dit aux enfants "Regardez, c'est la pleine lune, elle est 10 fois plus grande que d'habitude". Elle était orange et brillait à l'entrée de Dijon."

Une théorie que rejette vigoureusement Sophie : "Cette chose avançait doucement et je peux certifier qu'il ne s'agissait pas de la lune qui se trouvait à ce moment là plus à l'ouest de la position de ce phénomène. J'ai aussi lu sur Facebook que des gens songeait à des lanternes thaïlandaises. Pour en avoir déjà vu, je peux certifier que cette chose brillait bien plus qu'une lanterne."

Si vous avez été témoin du même phénomène samedi soir, n'hésitez pas à nous raconter cela à l'adresse lbpredacweb@lebienpublic.fr. Et si vous avez pris une ou plusieurs photos n'hésitez pas à nous les transmettre.

Alien Life on Ceres: New evidence points towards intelligent life on the dwarf planet

NASA has tried really hard to understand all the enigmas surrounding the dwarf planet Ceres. Ever since the first image was beamed back by NASA’s Dawn Spacecraft scientists around the world have tried to explain all the mysteries about one of the most interesting dwarf planets in the solar system. But what makes Ceres so unique?

 

Well we could say that the mysterious bright lights that were spotted on the surface of Ceres are the most talked about mystery surrounding Ceres. The truth is that no one has been able to accurately explain what the mysterious lights are, what causes them, and why they are not present anywhere else. The first high-resolution images of the surface of the dwarf planet arrived to Earth in January 19, 2015 and since then everyone started talking about the unique and mysterious features of Ceres.

 

Ok so, what do the lights look like? Well, to be honest if you compare the image of the bright lights on Ceres to an image of a city on Earth, taken from Space, I’d say that the two look very much alike… It’s as if we are looking at an Alien city on Ceres… But optical illusion can play around with your mind. While no one can rule out at this point an alien city on Ceres, no one can rule out Pareidolia either.

 

Let’s compare the bright spots on Ceres with an image of a city on Earth as seen from space:

 

 

Ummm… Is that an Alien city on Ceres?

 

As if the mysterious bright lights of Ceres weren’t enough, there is more about Ceres that could creep you out. New images of the dwarf planet show what appears to be a pyramid-shaped structure located on a flat landscape. According to scientists, that mysterious pyramid should be there geologically speaking. The ‘Ceres pyramid’ measures around 3 miles in height, but the size of the ‘pyramid’ isn’t the most mysterious part of the story. What has caused even greater confusion is the fact that one side of the oddly shaped mountain is nearly completely dark on one side while the other side glows just like the bright spots on the dwarf planet.

 

So what is causing the bright spots to shine like that? And why is there a pyramid in the middle of nowhere?

 

 

Bright lights that cannot be explained… a huge pyramid sticking out of nowhere… Ceres is as mysterious as it gets.

 

According to Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator of the Dawn Mission declared: The surface of Ceres has revealed many interesting and unique features. For example, icy moons in the outer solar system have craters with central pits, but on Ceres central pits in large craters are much more common. These and other features will allow us to understand the inner structure of Ceres that we cannot sense directly.”

 

What does this mean? Well it means that Ceres is as mysterious as it can get with distinct features that make it extremely rare and unique when compared to other celestial bodies in our solar system. There are many things on Ceres that simply put, should not be there.

 

 

But if the pyramid-shaped structures and huge bright lights that resemble a city aren’t enough, Ceres has more to offer. According to scientists, the dwarf planet is split into a rocky core and an icy mantle and is believed to have an internal ocean of LIQUID WATER under its thick coating of ice. Scientists picked up ‘traces of water’ back in 2014 when they spotted emissions of water vapor from different regions on Ceres something that caused great confusion among experts since massive bodies located in the asteroid belt DO NOT emit vapors.

 

All of the above means that Ceres is one of its kind. No other planet- dwarf planet is as mysterious as this one. Its incredible features have given us a lot to talk about and its mysterious geology still continues to amaze anyone who looks at it. The only thing left to do is continue following the Dawn spacecraft mission as it explores one of the most mysterious objects in our solar system, an object that could have an Alien connection according to UFO hunters.

Glowing Orb Over Netherlands Changes Speed And Direction, Jan 2016, UFO Sighting News

Date of sighting: January 12, 2016
Location of sighting: Groningen, Netherlands
Source: MUFON #73825

This glowing orb was seen this week over the Netherlands and for it to change speed helps us to rule out Chinese lantern. These glowing orbs have been seen all around the world this year and seem to be scanning the communities, recording everything.

Eyewitness states:
I was on my way to the car with my girlfriend, when we suddenly saw a bright moving light up in the sky. It wasn't an airplane and it sure wasn't a satelite. This object was changing speed constantly (from fast to slow to fast, etc.) and wasn't moving in a straight line. Luckily we caught it on camera!
