Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    Waarom we nog geen bezoek van aliens hebben ontvangen?

    close-encounters-of-the-third-kind-original.jpg

    Nu astronomen dankzij nieuwe onderzoekstechnieken en krachtige telescopen steeds meer planeten ontdekken waar de omstandigheden geschikt zijn voor de ontwikkeling van leven, rijst de vraag waarom we tot nu toe geen signalen van aliens hebben ontvangen?

    Een groep Australische ruimtedeskundigen heeft daarvoor een eenvoudige uitleg: buitenaards leven sterft uit voor het intelligent kan worden.

    Volgens de onderzoekers bieden de meeste bewoonbare planeten een te onstabiele omgeving voor de ontwikkeling van intelligent leven. Veel van die planeten lijken op Mars of Venus, zeggen de wetenschappers: ze kenden ooit wel een periode van gematigde temperaturen, maar tegenwoordig zijn ze zo koud of juist zo warm dat leven er onmogelijk is geworden.

    Te fragiel om te overleven

    Alle microbiële leven dat op zulke planeten kon ontstaan is dus wellicht uitgestorven voor het zich kon ontwikkelen.

    Vroege levensvormen zijn fragiel, we geloven dat ze zelden de kans krijgen om zich te ontwikkelen,” zegt astro-biologe Aditya Chopra van de Australische National University in een uitzending van CBSNews.

    Omdat het erop lijkt dat intelligent leven miljarden jaren evolutie nodig heeft om zich te ontwikkelen – op een planeet met een uitzonderlijk stabiele omgeving – is het wellicht extreem zeldzaam. Mogelijk is de aarde zelfs de enige planeet waar intelligent leven een kans kreeg, zo denken de wetenschappers.

    NASA's 2017 Budget Request: Reactions from Space Industry Experts, Lawmakers

    The proposed NASA budget for the 2017 fiscal year, $19 billion, has evoked mixed reactions from government officials and space organizations.

    White House officials unveiled the Obama administration's 2017 budget proposal today (Feb. 9), and NASA's share came in $300 million lower than the agency's final budget for 2016. The proposed NASA budget would decrease funding of space exploration but add some to aeronautics and space technology and redistribute the science budget. A breakdown of the budget request is available here, and there is also a full summary available.

    The budget request is considered by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, which ultimately must pass a bill specifying how to allocate the money. [Photos: NASA's Space Launch System for Deep Space Flights]

    Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, expressed disappointment in the proposal's allotment to different projects.

    "This administration cannot continue to tout plans to send astronauts to Mars while strangling the programs that will take us there," he said in a statement. "And the administration once more proposes cuts of more than $100 million to the planetary-science accounts, which have previously funded missions like this past year's Pluto flyby.

    "At the same time, this proposal shrinks space exploration priorities within NASA's budget; it disproportionately increases earth-science accounts to more than $2 billion — a 70 percent increase since 2007," Smith continued. "This imbalanced proposal continues to tie our astronauts' feet to the ground and makes a Mars mission all but impossible. This is not the proposal of an administration that is serious about maintaining America's leadership in space."

    However, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, who also serves on the House Science Committee, praised the program overall.

    "As in past years, the president's budget will help ensure that the U.S. can compete in a 21st century global economy and solidify America's place as a scientific and technological leader," Johnson said in a statement. "The investments in the full range R&D and STEM — including advanced manufacturing research, prioritizing basic research, investing in clean transportation and civil space activities, and education programs like Computer Science for All — are truly investments to help us meet our greatest challenges not only for the year ahead, but for decades to come."

    Mary Lynne Ditmar, director of the Coalition for Deep Space Exploration, a space advocacy organization, expressed concern.

    "While we appreciate the funding proposed for the International Space Station and its transportation systems, space science programs — including the James Webb Space Telescope, and proposed deep-space habitat — we are deeply concerned about the administration's proposed cut to NASA's human exploration development programs," she said in a statement.

    "This proposed budget falls well short of the investment needed to support NASA's exploration missions, and would have detrimental impacts on cornerstone, game-changing programs such as the superheavy lift rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion spacecraft — the first spacecraft designed to reach multiple destinations in the human exploration of deep space," she added.

    "The greatest challenge to these programs is not technical, but budget stability — plain and simple," Ditmar continued. "At this critical stage, it is important to ensure that the significant progress already made on the development of the SLS and Orion spacecraft continues, so as to meet important milestones, including the first integrated launch in 2018 and crewed missions beginning in 2021. Fully developing these systems will enable the United States to realize its aspirations for human exploration, planetary missions, international collaboration and scientific discovery."

    Eric Stallmer, president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, praised the budget proposal. "I commend the Administration for crafting a budget that provides robust funding for NASA and FAA AST," he said, referring to the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Commercial Space Transportation. "We applaud the proposals that would enable and utilize private space capabilities to help build a sustainable American expansion into the solar system from the edge of space through low-Earth orbit to the moon and beyond. It builds on the strong foundation established by the FY16 Omnibus and Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act. We look forward to working with the Congress to fully fund a number of the proposals in this request, while also championing efforts to shore up areas that need additional input and support."

    Casey Dreier, The Planetary Society's director of space policy, broke down the proposed budget overall on the society's blog. On planetary science in particular, he said: "Well, we're five for five. This is the fifth year in a row that the White House has proposed cutting NASA's Planetary Science Division. While every other science division at NASA would receive a funding boost in this budget, Planetary Science, the year after flying by Pluto and confirming flowing water on Mars, earns a $110 million cut.

    "Now, credit where credit is due," he continued. "The request is for $1.52 billion, which, compared to previous requests, is a marked improvement and very much a step in the right direction. We've been advocating for at least $1.5 billion for this program for years now, and it is satisfying to see this number reflected back in the president's budget.

    "But the fact of the matter is that this program has been underfunded for years and needs to rebuild," Dreier continued. "Congress stepped up and provided $1.631 billion last year, and that number needs to continue to improve in order to position NASA for a spectacular decade of planetary exploration in the 2020s. As expected, most of the cut appears to impact the Europa mission (which would get about $50 million in 2017, down from $175 million in 2016). The administration is sticking with its intent to launch in the late 2020s. The request tones down some of the optimistic planning for the Europa flyby mission set forth in last year's budget. NASA runs the numbers to assume an Atlas V launch, not SLS, though SLS is very much under consideration.

    "In more positive news, all existing missions are funded through 2017," Dreier said. "That means [the Mars rover] Opportunity can keep on roving, and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter can keep collecting data through the year. No arbitrary zeroing out of mission budgets here."

    Some Scientific Facts About Crop Circles That Nobody Really Knows About

    Crop

    Crop circles have been appearing around the globe for a very long time, and while some might represent the sloppy and obvious work of a few pranksters, others are so elaborate, so clever, so intricate, and so meaningful that their creation would require the use of highly advanced technology. It’s truly difficult to imagine how some of these designs could be done in the dead of night, with no footprints left behind, in just a few hours of time.

    Some of these formations are so immense and complex as to defy reason. And after all these decades, none of the perpetrators have been caught in the act of making any of the truly extraordinary formations.” – Richard Dolan, historian, academic, author, and one of the world’s leading UFO researchers (source)

    The circles that are most likely to be genuine have actually been being studied by reputable scientists from all over the world for decades. For example, Richard Taylor, a University of Oregon physicist, published a paper on them in the 2011 issue of Physics World, stating:

    Crop circle arts are not going to give up their secrets easily. This summer, unknown artists will venture into the countryside close to your homes and carry out their craft, safe in the knowledge that they are continuing the legacy of the most science-oriented art movement in history(source)

    Yes, you read that correctly: “the most science-oriented art movement in history.” What would cause a physicist to conclude that these works do not have an extraterrestrial explanation? or to even consider the issue seriously? This photo might offer some clues:

    miklk

    Above is a picture of an 800 foot crop circle that appeared in Wiltshire, England back in 2001. It caused a lot of commotion, and as you can see, it was very beautiful and extremely complex. The design consisted of 409 circles that form what’s known as a triskelion, a symbol that dates back thousands of years. There is some great footage of it in the documentary Crop Cricles: Quest for Truth by Academy Award-winning director William Gazecki. You can view that here.

    It was so large that it took us half an hour to find the center.” (quote taken from video link below)

    There are some more great images of it in this YouTube video. You can also see footage of it taken by a helicopter flying above from the documentary Thrive in this video (at the 26.16 minute mark). This circle marks just one of thousands of verified formations that continue to baffle scientists, researchers, and onlookers alike.

    Richard Taylor, the aforementioned scientist who studied these circles, again expressed his belief that this was one of the greatest art revolutions in history when he published his scientific analysis of crop circles in the journal Nature in 2010. 

    After studying the affected grass in the lab, he concluded that the circle makers must be using GPS devices, lasers, and microwaves to create these designs because the nodes of some of the stalks had been blasted out on one side. This same effect has been replicated by highly localized microwave heating, which is what causes the stocks to flop over to one side.

    bent

    While he was able to come up with a scientifically feasible explanation for this phenomenon, he fails to address how hoaxers could come into possession of such advanced technology. It’s clear that there would be no other way to make some of these circles, so what is really going on here?

    If something like this caused the formations, then we are clearly talking about a highly sophisticated agency behind the phenomenon.” – Richard Dolan (source)

    Did you know that the electromagnetic field over the area where a circle appears is usually electrostatically charged?  Or that there is a rare form of electromagnetic energy called an “ionized plasma vortex,” also known as ball lighting, involved with these formations? (source)

    The helicopters you see in the video are military helicopters. Military involvement with UFOs is well documented, and this should be no surprise. For more information on that you can read this article.

    These are verified facts, which is why studies published in scientific journals have tried to come up with explanations that differ from unknown or extraterrestrial.  For example, Dr. Terence Meadon, a professional physicist, meteorologist, and archaeologist at the University of Oxford, said that these balls of light are a result of wind currents and ionized plasmas. Whatever the case may be, the fact that scientists are taking note should signal that this phenomenon is worth our attention.

    The patterns of the formations themselves have been studied endlessly. Aside from being supremely beautiful, many seem to be messages in one form or another, often with cosmological implications. None seem ominous or evil. If one receives any sense or feeling from them, it is benevolence. If it were to be the case that these formations are created by an extraterrestrial or non-human intelligence, we may conclude that at least one of the groups here might in fact care about us and wish to help us.” – Richard Dolan  (source)

    So, the next time somebody tells you about a crop circle, perhaps you should think twice before brushing it off as a hoax. Although many of them are, some truly do seem to be otherworldly.

    Paul Sutter is a visiting scholar at The Ohio State University’s Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP). Sutter is also host of the podcasts Ask a Spaceman and RealSpace, and the YouTube series Space In Your Face. Sutter contributed this article toSpace.com's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

    Have you ever wanted to reach out from far away and just … slap someone? Usually, it’s pretty difficult, but if you’re both standing in some water, it’s not so hard. You slap the water, the water makes a wave, the wave travels to your adversary and it does the slapping for you.

    It doesn't have to be water, either. You can do it in air too, although it’s not very effective. [The Hunt for Gravitational Waves: Complete Coverage]

    And you can do it in a perfect vacuum.

    The key here is the nature of space-time. I’ve discussed before the importance of space-time — how space and time are unified in a single fabric that stretches across eternity in four dimensions. That was the magic that enabled Albert Einstein to develop his theory of special relativity. But to make special relativity more general, Einstein had to make another leap: Space-time isn’t just a stage, fixed and unmoving, a background for all particles and forces to play around on.

    In general relativity, space-time is dynamic. The stage is an actor, too! It can warp and twist, and bend and flex. It can wave. It responds to the presence of matter and energy, and can influence the behavior of that same matter and energy, exactly as you can. Space-time is a thing.

    Space-time isn’t a wooden floor; it’s a trampoline. It bends and curves underneath you, and that bending affects the motion of stuff around you. Go ahead: Stand in the center of a trampoline, and have a few friends roll some balls around. Look at how their paths curve. Congrats — you’re a living, breathing general-relativity demo.

    Just like any other dynamic stuff, like water or air, space-time allows waves to travel through it. But waves of what?

    Well, water waves are waves made of water. Air waves are made of air. Space-time waves are made of … you guessed it: space-time!

    I feel the need to note that this is a huge prediction of general relativity, and would never come about in pure Newtonian gravity. In fact, I’m pretty sure Isaac Newton would have you imprisoned for even mentioning it.

    You can think of a wave as a disturbance in both time and space. Float in one spot in the ocean, and you will bob up and down with each passing crest. Take a picture of the ocean from your penthouse balcony, a moment frozen in time, and you can see the wave pattern stretch to the horizon.

    But if you’re doing your buoy impersonation (“David Buoy?”) in the middle of the water, you’ll notice that unless there’s a current dragging you around, you’ll actually stay more or less in one spot. Bobbing up and down, yes, but always returning to where you started. Waves don’t transfer stuff; they transfer energy.

    That’s what enables the slapping. The waves breaking on a shoreline are the result of distant ferocious storms beating against the water or faraway winds brushing across the surface. You can’t see the storm, but it still gets to transfer some of its energy to you.

    And gravitational waves (note here, they are not "gravity waves"; that name was taken before general relativity got going) are similar. They make you bob up and down. Well, almost. It’s more like in and out. Or stretchy-squeezy, like space-time is playing with putty. As a gravitational wave passes through you, you literally get stretched out and squashed, over and over again.

    But how could a simple ripple in space-time affect you like that? What force is it using? It’s using gravity, because that’s what gravity is: the bending and warping of space-time. And if space-time is wiggling, you get to jiggling.

    It’s pretty easy to make a gravitational wave. Just move around. See? I said it was easy! But to make one even barely substantial, it helps to be heavy. Like black-hole heavy. [The Search for Gravitational Waves (Gallery)]

    How a black hole would destroy the Earth

    https://youtu.be/i0Q3yk7KzYA

    black hole just sitting there, minding its own business, isn’t going to make waves, just as you standing in the center of a pool won’t. But if that black hole starts moving — say, by spiraling in on a collision course with a relative — it’s going to ring space-time like a bell.

    Those waves travel throughout space-time at the speed of light, eventually washing over the Earth. But even big waves from the most momentous events in the universe are exceedingly tough to find. I mean, it’s not like you or I feel continuously taller and shorter minute by minute. You might feel them, if they were strong enough — or if you were unlucky enough to get close to the merger event — but even the heavies in our universe make only the barest of space-time breezes.

    It’s not like we haven’t seen evidence for gravitational waves already. The 1993 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded for the indirect detection of these waves: a pulsar orbiting a neutron star, steadily losing energy by waving the space-time underneath them, causing them to slowly fall together.

    What we’re hoping for with experiments like the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to directly observe gravitational waves as they slosh onto the Earth. Imagine all the fantastic events happening in the cosmos: black holes colliding, massive stars blowing up, even the faintest whispers from the universe’s earliest moments. But shrouded behind dense layers of impenetrable gas or buried deep in cosmic time, they remain unreachable, inaccessible to traditional astronomy. But the waves persist.

    The ability to directly see gravitational waves would take the blinders off one of the last great windows into the universe, allowing us to study the fundamentals of gravity in some of the most extreme corners of the cosmos. What wonders will be revealed to us? What new mysteries will confront and confound us?

    The sky above us is ringing from the cacophony of countless bells, each one given a unique signature from the event that created it. Those waves wash over us and through us, subtly and gently flexing the space-time under our feet and in our bodies.

    Somewhere out in deep space, a black hole is trying to slap you. Gently, caressingly, but slap you nonetheless. Can you feel it?

    Editor's Note: The LIGO team is holding a news conference Thursday (Feb. 11) at 10:30 a.m. EST (1530 GMT) to provide a "status report" on the search for gravitational waves. You can watch this news conference, which is widely expected to announce history's first direct detection of these space-time ripples, live here at Space.com.

    Possible Missing Time In Walla Walla Australia

    (Before It's News)

    ARTICLE DISC KEN PFEIFER 2-10-16
    POSSIBLE MISSING TIME IN WALLA WALLA AUSTRALIA
     
    JANUARY 5, 1998   ……….  WAGA WAGA AUSTRALIA
     
    The witness was driving her husband, who finished work at midnight, and her baby daughter from their home in Wagga Wagga to her parent’s home at Jamberoo, near Kiama, for the weekend. Shortly after leaving Wagga on the Hume Hwy with her husband and baby asleep, a large brightly luminous disc shape UFO appeared in the sky ahead of her at an estimated 300-400 metres distance. The object stayed in this position while she drove approx. 120 km., disappearing as she went through towns, and appearing again on the other side of the town. It mostly stayed relatively still but occasionally shot off at great speed to the left or right only to return seconds later to the same position. The object disappeared just north of Goulburn as the dawn was lightening the sky. It rapidly gained altitude until out of sight in seconds. There was no interference with the normal operation of the car , according to the witness and the amount of traffic she remembers was normal for that time of morning.
    Supposedly after having great difficulty waking her husband at one point, he glanced at the object , mumbled “yeah yeah” and was immediately asleep again.  Normally on this trip she would stop at Yass for an hour’s break for coffee and arrive at Jamberoo at about 7- 7.30am. This time, on arrival she was genuinely surprised to find the trip had taken 1.5 to 2 hours longer than normal, even without the break at Yass.  No subsequent sickness or body markings were noticed and as the witness suspected no abduction at that time no further investigation was undertaken until reported to Paradox in 1997. 
    REPORT STATUS. Celestial records show no planet, star or even the moon, which could have explained the sighting. The lack of reaction from other traffic could indicate the phenomenon was a purely subjective one, however, until further evidence is forthcoming the case will remain as UNEXPLAINED.

    Alien Secrecy Remote Viewing UFOs and Stargates (Video)

    (Before It's News)

    In this special Dark Journalist episode he welcomes back Bestselling author of Alien Agenda Jim Marrs for a fascinating rundown of his latest cutting edge research on UFOs, Remote Viewing, Stargates. Genetic Engineering and Alien DNA.

    B4INREMOTE-aHR0cHM6Ly8xLmJwLmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8tTFNPamdQRy1xOGcvVnJ3Q0tQZEdMdUkvQUFBQUFBQUFPLWMvY3ItYmtuRTcyTTQvczY0MC9BbGllbiUyQlNlY3JlY3klMkJSZW1vdGUlMkJWaWV3aW5nJTJCVUZPcyUyQlN0YXJnYXRlcy5qcGc=

    Remote Viewing UFOs 

    Marrs reveals his 20 year investigation into the shadowy Black Ops world of Psychic Spies, Remote Viewers, UFO Encounters and Government Cover-ups of advanced technology reverse-engineered from ET craft.

    Some controversial Remote Viewing by its denizens Ingo Swann and Pat Price reveals that there are ET-controlled UFO bases on Earth, located in four very remote places, in separate continents across the planet.

    Jim also sees a massive covert program dedicated to keeping the truth of alien involvement on Earth a secret and he details the efforts that Presidents from JFK onward have made, sometimes with fatal results, to wrest the control of the advanced UFO technology from the breakaway military faction inside the Deep National Security State!

    Akhenaten is Moses 

    They also explore fascinating and undeniable links to alien involvement in our ancient past and the shocking implications of the parallel lives of the enigmatic Pharaoh Akhenaten and the Biblical Prophet Moses and how their historical paths have intertwined to such an astounding degree that it has led him to the stunning conclusion that they are in fact: The Same Person!

    Jim describes evidence that strongly suggests that our distant ancestors were technologically advanced and that sophisticated devices like the Ark of the Covenant were achieved by a close interaction with an advanced off-world culture that is best recorded in the sumerian mythological and historical tablets as the Anunnaki.

    He describes the two warring alien factions in possession of powerful genetic labs and DNA hybridization knowledge that were given the names Enki and Enlil and who formed the basis for the original books of the bible and represent the concepts of good and evil.

    He also explores the incredible similarity between the Egyptian Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau, Mayan Astronomy Pyramid layouts, and Archaeological Ruins including the Face on Mars.

    This strongly suggests an advanced off-world culture playing a major role in human development in antiquity.

    Navy Whistleblower Richard Theilmann 

    Jim also reveals his connection to whistleblower Richard Theilmann, a Navy Lt. Commander and veteran of black ops that was part of a mission for the Secret Space Program to perform top secret surveillance of space targets and who had been operated on and given enhancements to help him perform Deep Space Missions.

    The Cult of Secrecy 

    This fascinating Dark Journalist episode exposes the great expanse between the public consciousness and awareness about UFOs, largely controlled by the mass media vs the true reality on the ground, only available to a few elite insiders who form the greater part of an invisible power structure that is dedicated to ET secrecy in order to preserve the great advantage of the advanced off-world technology.

    The massive system of Black Budget money that has been harvested from the public budget to research and develop UFO crash retrievals is becoming abundantly obvious as more and more billions go missing from the federal budget.

    In addition, Marrs touches on his experience and research with anecdotes on the SRI Remote Viewing Program, NASA, Physicists Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff, Remote Viewers Ingo Swann and Pat Price, Harvard Professor John Mack, Colonel Phillip Corso, Astronaut Gordon Cooper, Military Cover-ups, and more…

    DO YOU KNOW NIKOLA TESLA’S 5 LOST INVENTIONS THAT THREATENED THE GLOBAL ELITE?

    Most great inventions fundamentally change the society in which they exist. Since the people at the top of the social structure have more to gain by reinforcing the status quo, they suppress revolutionary technologies favorable to the world but dangerous to their existence. Engineering genius Nikola Tesla was no exception. Here’re some of those technologies, ‘they’ don’t want you to know about Nikola Tesla: 
     
    Death Ray 
     
    Nikola Tesla claimed to have invented a “death beam” which he called Teleforce in the 1930s. The device was capable of generating an intense targeted beam of energy “that could be used to dispose of enemy warplanes, foreign armies, or anything else you’d rather didn’t exist”. The so-called “death ray” was never constructed because he believed it would become too easy for counties to destroy each other. Tesla proposed that a nation could “destroy anything approaching within 200 miles… [and] will provide a wall of power” in order to “make any country, large or small, impregnable against armies, airplanes, and other means for attack”. He said that efforts had been made to steal the invention. His room had been entered and his papers had been scrutinized, but the thieves, or spies, left empty-handed. 
     
    Tesla’s Oscillator
     
     In 1898, Tesla claimed he had built and deployed a small oscillating device that, when attached to his office and operating, nearly shook down the building and everything around it. In other words, the device could allegedly simulate earthquakes. Realizing the potential terrors such a device could create, “Tesla said he took a hammer to the oscillator to disable it, instructing his employees to claim ignorance to the cause of the tremors if asked”. Some theorists believe the government continues to use Tesla’s research in places like the HAARP facility in Alaska.
     
     Free Electricity System
     
     With funding from JP Morgan, Tesla designed and built Wardenclyffe Tower, a gigantic wireless transmission station, in New York in 1901-1902. Morgan thought the Wardenclyffe Tower could provide wireless communication across the world. However, Tesla had other plans. 
     
    Tesla intended to transmit messages, telephony and even facsimile images across the Atlantic to England and to ships at sea based on his theories of using the Earth to conduct the signals. If the project worked, anyone could have electricity by simply sticking a rode into the ground. Unfortunately, free electricity is not profitable. And this system could be incredibly dangerous for the global elite because it could profoundly change the energy industry. Imagine how different the world would be if society didn’t need oil and coal to function? Could the great world powers maintain control? Morgan refused to fund the changes. The project was abandoned in 1906 and never became operational. 
     
    The Flying Saucer 
     
    In 1911, Nikola Tesla told The New York Herald that he was working on an anti gravity “flying machine”.
     
     “My flying machine will have neither wings nor propellers. You might see it on the ground and you would never guess that it was a flying machine. Yet it will be able to move at will through the air in any direction with perfect safety, at higher speeds than have yet been reached, regardless of weather and oblivious of “holes in the air” or downward currents. It will ascend in such currents if desired. It can remain absolutely stationary in the air, even in a wind, for great length of time. Its lifting power will not depend upon any such delicate devices as the bird has to employ, but upon positive mechanical action.
     
     Tesla’s flying saucer was powered by free energy system at a time when the fledgling aviation and motor car industry depended on oil and petroleum. His invention met the same fate as his free energy system.
     
     Improved Airships 
     
    Tesla proposed that electrically-powered airships would transport passengers from New York to London in three hours, traveling eight miles above the ground. He also imagined that airships might draw their power from the very atmosphere, never needing to stop for refueling. Unmanned airships might even be used to transport passengers to a preselected destination or for a remote aerial strike. He was never given credit for his invention. However, today, we have unmanned drones carrying out combat missions, supersonic airplanes that fly at amazing speeds and space shuttle technology that can circle the Earth in the upper atmosphere. 
     
    It was long suspected that the FBI literally stole all of his work, research, and inventions that he had in his possession when he died. This rumor has now been confirmed by recent, heavily redacted Freedom of Information Act requests released by the FBI

    This 8 Minute Surgery Will Give You Superhuman Vision For The Rest Of Time

    In an incredible feat of modern science and medicine, a new bionic lens for the eye currently in development would give humans 3x 20/20 vision at any age. Called Ocumetics Bionic Lens, the lens was developed by Dr. Garth Webb, an optometrist from British Columbia, Canada, who sought a way to optimize eyesight.
     
    With this lens, patients would have flawless vision. No more glasses for driving or reading and no more invasive contact lenses either. Glasses will one day be a thing of the past.
     
    The lens is surgically implanted too, meaning you can never get cataracts as the lens replaces that of your natural eye. Anyone over the age of 25 is ideal for the surgery.
     
    "This is vision enhancement that the world has never seen before," says Dr. Webb "If you can just barely see the clock at 10 feet, when you get the Bionic Lens you can see the clock at 30 feet away."
     
    The surgery is quick and painless with Dr. Webb asserting it can be done in about 8 minutes. Vision is immediately corrected.
     
    The project has been in development for 8 years and has cost $3 million in research and development fees. His mission has become an obsession to free himself and others from glasses and corrective lenses. Webb has been saddled with glasses since he was in the second grade.
     
    "My heroes were cowboys, and cowboys just did not wear glasses," Dr. Webb says.
     
    Doctors all over the world are intrigued.
     
    "I think this device is going to bring us closer to the holy grail of excellent vision at all ranges — distant, intermediate and near," said Dr. Vincent DeLuise, an ophthalmologist who teaches at both Yale University and Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.

    Lost City of Giants Unearthed in the Jungles of Ecuador

    Ecuadorian myths speak of ancient cities of giants hiding in the Amazon jungle, left behind by their “unusual” inhabitants and slowly being reclaimed by nature. In fact, the majority of tribes from the Amazonian basin recall stories of a timeworn race of gigantic humans that constructed prosperous settlements long before regular-sized humans reached the area.

     
    Led by the local beliefs of mythical beings, a team of researchers travelled to a remote place in the rain forest of Ecuador to see with their own eyes whether the stories were true. The Aboriginals led the crew to a place they called holy, where the local tribes gathered to celebrate the powerful spirits believed to inhabit the site.
     
    When they reached this sacred place, megalithic structures started to take shape, with the largest being a 260 foot tall by 260 foot wide pyramid with an irregular angle. The structure had been built using hundreds of huge boulders weighing no less than 2 tons. When they inspected the top of the pyramid, the researchers discovered a flat, polished stone probably used as a ceremonial or sacrificial stand.
     
    It looks like a paved wall, an ancient street or plaza with a 60 degrees angle, perhaps the roof of a large structure, said French-American archaeologist Benoit Duverneuil. Many of the stones were perfectly aligned, have sharp edges and seem to have been sculpted by human hands.
     
    Most of the structure’s body was covered by lichen, but the remaining visible stones revealed a thick and seemingly impenetrable material that bound the boulders together. Could this represent one of the first examples of concrete being used in America? And how were the Amazonian giants able to create such a complex material in those ancient times?
     
     
    But probably the most fascinating discovery comes in the form of manufactured tools. Oversized and old, they blended with the forest floor. What they served for is unclear, but the researchers consider they were utilized in metalworking. However, one thing remains clear – their size would have made it impossible for a modern-day human to wield such a tool or weapon.
     
    Bruce Fentom, writer, researcher and member of the team that found this presumed city of giants, believes the uncovered tools present the ultimate proof of giant humans that inhabited Earth.
     
    What really strongly points towards this habitation having housed the same race of giants if the presence of extremely oversized hammers, or at least the stone hammerheads, he said.
     
    Assuming there were attached to hard wood handles they would be both incredible size and weight, making their use as tools impractical for a typical Inca or indigenous Indian, these beings were generally around five feet or so.
     
    Former expeditions in the rain forests of Ecuador brought results supporting the fact that giants once existed. Oversized bones were found scattered in caves all over the Americas, and there is still evidence emerging on a daily basis, indicating that our written history might need some rethinking.
     
     
    Another interesting thing to note is the secrecy displayed by the local authorities. In 2013, when the Ecuadorian Ministry of Culture sent their representatives to investigate the site, they concluded that the pyramid-shaped building was nothing more than a natural formation.
     
    On the contrary, Fenton and his crew believe the diameter and shape of the boulders, the complex pattern after they were manufactured, also their fine assembly appear to aim at an artificial origin. Other than that, there are still oddly shaped structures in the area nearby waiting to be investigated.
     
    Several massive mounds which appear unnatural to the place are waiting to be excavated in the upcoming years. Even though a dense layer of vegetation took over them, there are some researchers claiming there could be chambers and tunnels buried underneath. Others have suggested there could be an entire complex of pyramids and houses that could hide remnants of a long-lost race of giants.
     
    Until further investigation, we can only think of such a hypothesis. However, the lack of cooperation shown by the local authorities clearly raises some question marks. Is there something of extreme importance buried somewhere in the Amazonian jungle that they intend to keep as a secret?

    UPDATE: UFO expert says it wasn't a meteor over Gladstone

    The KC-30 was recently acquired by the RAAF. Source: RAAF.

    UPDATE 6:00pm: 

    UFO EXPERT Sheryl Gottsthall hasn't come any closer to identifying what flew over the Gladstone region last night - but she has ruled out some theories.

    Ms Gottshall, president of UFO Research Queensland, has investigated plenty of these cases before and she said the formula for finding the truth is ruling out possibilities.

    "With UFOs, we have to go through the list of possibilities and tick them off," she said.  

    "If someone says it's a meteor, we have to tick that off."

    And Ms Gottshall said the theory that it's a meteor just "doesn't gel" because "meteors don't rumble for five minutes", as one reader reported hearing.

    She said while some readers reported seeing debris flying off the object, "if it was a plane crash --- a plane crashing and exploding --- you'd expect all sorts of emergency services to be arriving".

    As for the theory of the air force's KC-30A carrying out an operation over Gladstone, "it could be jets, but I mean, it's really hard to tell".  

    UFO Research Queensland has received more than 5000 reports of UFO sightings since it was established in 1956.

    And Ms Gottshall said interrogating witness accounts is the only way of getting closer to the truth.

    "It's about getting a better description of what they saw --- the size, the speed, the distance, the colour, how they were affected," she said.  

    "What it was I really can't tell you. And in that respect it remains unidentified."

    EARLIER: Was it the air force's KC-30A over the Gladstone region last night?

    THEORIES of what was behind the bright light and the massive "boom" over the Gladstone region last night are running rampant. 

    Bundaberg Astronomy Society member Mark Sugars said descriptions of the sighting, which were reported from Rockhampton to Gympie, could suggest it was a meteorite.

    But Gladstone's Rory Henricks said he thought he saw a plane, saying he thought it was "shooting fireworks out of its rear".

    And Royal Australian Air Force watch keeper Corporal King has revealed that a bulk carrier KC-30A took off from the closest air base to Gladstone last night and is the only air force aircraft that could've been spotted in the vicinity last night. 

    Residents said the object, seen over the Gladstone region --- including Kirkwood, Calliope, Agnes Water and Tannum Sands --- made a "boom" sound around 9:20pm.

    Corporal King, who couldn't reveal his first name because of strict defence force privacy protocol, said the KC-30A had taken off from the Amberley Air Base.

    "It was the only aircraft that was flying from the Amberley area during that time," he said.

    Amberley Air Base is 40kms south-west of Brisbane, on the outskirts of Ipswich. 

    Why the aircraft was in the area and what path it had taken remains a mystery, as corporal King said, "I'm not at liberty to disclose that information".

    >> READ: READERS SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES 'SEEING THE LIGHT'

    A KC-30A is a large aircraft described as "a heavily modified Airbus A330 airliner" on the air force's website.

    It's regularly used to carry fuel loads of up to 100 tonnes for a range of RAAF surveillance aircraft and fighter jets, such as the F/A-18A/B Hornets and F/A-18F Super Hornets

    It can also carry 34,000kg of cargo and 270 passengers.

    The Observer is still waiting for the RAAF to explain what was behind the "boom" that was reported by residents.

    The way of the explorer

    I first met moonwalker Edgar Mitchell in late 1995, at a restaurant in the back yard of Kennedy Space Center, which was getting ready to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Apollo 14. Given how NASA types tended to treat UFO questions like warlocks and unicorns, De Void was unprepared for Mitchell’s receptivity. No, he insisted, he hadn’t seen evidence of UFOs during his off-planet adventures. “NASA at that time was so sure there were no such things, there was no discussion of it." But he added this: "I would say, however, that if there was knowledge of ET contact existing within the government, and we were sent into space blind and dumb to such information, I think it is a case of criminal culpability."

    Criminal culpability. Whoa. Thus began a long conversation with one of the old astronaut corps’ unique thinkers. This was a guy who, after admitting he conducted ESP experiments on the moon in 1971, took a lot of crap from colleagues – and he didn’t care. He went onto formalize his curiosity about human consciousness by founding the Institute of Noetic Sciences, which went on to publish papers on everything from meditation to the “Physical effects of collective attention at Burning Man 2013.”

    "There seems to be more to the universe than random, chaotic, purposeless movement of a collection of molecular particles." -- Dr. Edgar Mitchell /CREDIT: collectspace.com

    Anyhow, the former Navy captain rolled his own tobacco that night, back when you could still smoke indoors, and he talked about one of his even more unusual intrigues. A year or so earlier, during Air Force efforts to resolve General Accounting Office questions aboutmissing records related to the 1947 Roswell controversy, USAF Secretary Sheila Widnall had granted amnesty to potential whistleblowers who might produce leads, but by that time the major players were dead. One year after that, without naming names, Mitchell said he was in discussions with former military or government operatives who wanted to extend immunity to cover even more UFO insiders.

    “The purpose of the meeting was not to convince anybody else of their stories,” he said, “but to get people released from their security oaths with regard to these phenomena. Given who they were, and their credentials, I have to tell you, it pushed my confidence level up five notches.” Mitchell said he was shaken by what he was learning. “I am convinced there is a small body of valid (UFO) information, and that there is a body of information ten times as big that is total disinformation put out by the sources to confuse the whole issue.” He described the setup as “a body of semi- or quasi-private organization” operating with black-budget federal funding. “And nobody knows what goes into black budgets. The prime requisite is security first and everything else second.”

    Without more details, Mitchell’s allegations sounded like something Fox Mulder’s scriptwriters could’ve hatched without really trying. We now know that the sixth man on the moon had, in 1995, begun huddling with “Ambassador to the Universe” Disclosure guru Steven Greer, whose ET outreach tuition now begins at $2,500 a pop. The Mitchell-Greer bond fell apart when Greer began using Mitchell’s name as a witness to promote his Disclosure initiative. Mitchell, in fact, had no first-hand knowledge of Greer’s alleged cloak-and-dagger scenario, and he charged Greer with “overreach(ing) his data continuously.”

    But in 2008 – and once again, without naming names – Mitchell stoked the embers when he told CNN’s Larry King he had met a high-level Pentagon official pooh-bah who told Mitchell that he – the pooh-bah official – couldn’t get his hands on classified UFO documents because he lacked the proper security clearance. But that was a story Greer had been repeating for years. And that official was Rear Adm. Thomas R. Wilson, former Defense Intelligence Agency director and – at the time of his meeting with Mitchell in 1997 – director of intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

    So De Void got on the horn to Wilson, whose golden parachute had made for a soft-retirement landing with a defense contractor in Minnesota. Wilson definitely remembered Mitchell asking him about pursuing UFO leads. But Wilson also said he had all the security passes he needed. “What is true is that I met with them,” Wilson told De Void in a phoner. “What is not true is that I was denied access to this material, because I didn’t pursue it. I may have left it open with them, but it was not especially compelling, not compelling enough to waste my staff’s time to go looking for it.”

    Mitchell told De Void he was “shocked” by Wilson’s answer. Ever the gentleman, however, Mitchell declined to argue: “I do not wish to engage him on this matter.” For his part, Greer stood by his Wilson story in an email: “I was there and I know what he said. I was also informed prior to the meeting that, after sending him a secret document with UFO-related code names and numbers, that he located one of the compartments but was specifically denied access to the operation.” And that was that.

    But so earnestly did Mitchell want to get to the bottom of the mystery that he traveled to Mexico City for the unveiling of what would be the biggest UFO fiasco of 2015 – the Roswell space alien cadaver pix, which were  being hyped as a game-changer.  Within days, the images were discovered to be Kodak slides of a Native American mummy. De Void didn’t attempt to contact the Apollo veteran for reaction after that. But living in fear of making mistakes would’ve been an untenable prospect for one of only a dozen men to leave bootprints on another world.

    “The desire to live life to its fullest, to acquire more knowledge, to abandon the economic treadmill,” he wrote in his autobiography The Way of the Explorer, “are all typical reactions to these experiences in altered states of consciousness. The previous fear of death is typically quelled. If the individual generally remains thereafter in the existential state of awareness, the deep internal feeling of eternity is quite profound and unshakable.” After literally expanding the perimeters of human history, what could possibly be intimidating after that? Name-calling?

    So bon voyage, Dr. Mitchell.  And here’s hoping that your greatest wish for those who determine our fates will someday come to pass: “From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’”

    NASA's anticipated mission to the potentially life-supporting Jupiter moon Europa may not get off the ground until the late 2020s, agency officials say.

    Last year, Congress granted NASA $175 million to continue developing its Europa mission, which will perform dozens of flybys to gauge the life-hosting potential of the icy moon's huge subsurface ocean.

    In that allocation, Congress declared that NASA must have the Europa mission ready to launch by 2022. But NASA's fiscal year 2017 budget request, which was released Tuesday (Feb. 9), includes just $49.6 million for the Europa effort — a level that, when combined with predicted funding in the coming years, "supports a Europa mission launch in the late 2020s," NASA chief financial officer David Radzanowski said during a news conference Tuesday. [Europa May Harbor Simple Life-Forms (Video)

    Getting the Europa flyby spacecraft ready to launch by 2022 would probably require a 2017 investment of about $194 million (out of a total NASA budget request of $19.03 billion), Radzanowski said. The space agency has provided this estimate to Congress, he added.

    "Within our $19 billion request, to find an additional $150 million — whether within the science portfolio or abroad — we felt would upset the balance of the overall portfolio," Radzanowski said. "So we do not think it's prudent to support a 2022 launch at the funding level requested."

    Europa Mission News

    https://youtu.be/ivHHFoKn2pU

    Scientists regard Europa as one of the solar system's best bets to host life beyond Earth. The moon's vast ocean — which harbors more water than all of Earth's seas combined — is in contact with Europa's rocky mantle, making possible all sorts of interesting chemical reactions, researchers say.

    So astrobiologists are eager to explore Europa — and they're not the only ones. Congress shares this enthusiasm, in large part because of John Culberson (R-TX), who chairs the House of Representatives' Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, and has a longstanding interest in the search for alien life.

    Indeed, in the 2016 budget deal, Congress directed NASA to make its Europa mission more ambitious, ordering the agency to add a component that would actually touch down on the icy moon. The deal also stipulated that NASA use the agency's in-development Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket, as opposed to a currently available booster. (Launching atop the powerful SLS would cut travel time to Europa considerably.)

    NASA is still assessing how it can incorporate these directives, and how doing so would change the Europa mission's pricetag, Radzanowski said. (The flyby-only version, which would conduct 45 close encounters with Europa from Jupiter orbit over 2.5 years or so, is estimated to cost about $2.1 billion.)

    It's too soon to know exactly what's going to happen with the Europa mission, which is still in the early-development phase. For example, Congress may end up giving NASA far more for the project than the $49.6 million it requested this year, bringing a 2022 liftoff back into the realm of possibility.

    In fact, that will probably happen, if precedent is any indication. NASA didn't ask for any Europa-mission funding in 2013 or 2014 but ended up getting more than $120 million for those two years combined. And in 2015 and 2016, NASA requested a total of $45 million for the Europa project, and Congress allocated $275 million.

    STILL DON’T BELIEVE IN ALIEN LIFE? YOU NEED TO READ THIS

    STILL DON’T BELIEVE IN ALIEN LIFE? YOU NEED TO READ THIS 3

    Whatever word we put to it – Source, God, The Universe, the under lying fabric that makes up all-that-is – IS… ever-evolving, infinite creation. These fundamental, base structures of geometries are what make up our universes, atoms, a blade of grass and our very consciousness. It is infinite expression, much of which transcends our perception of what is real – it exists outside of 3D concept.

    Now, fractal this back down to your life. You and I and everything are fundamentally made up of the same geometries of creation. Something like an alien, a conscious being that exists outside of time, a fairy or even a thought, idea or concept are, at their core, a different expression of the same energy.

    So, straight up, scientific, hard logic minds need to understand that:

    “Seeing is believing” is not how it works.

    Believing allows you to see.

    Physicality is a product of the mind. Consciousness is something we are just beginning to understand scientifically, yet it

    is something to be understood intuitively – that is the intelligence of our heartfl_sl_el

    Doing the introspective, emotional work alongside actually researching, discerning and gathering data objectively – brings you to the truth. It is not anyone’s truth, it is obvious to all who look. A simple expression of energy like a Grey Alien who interacts on our planet is not an opinion – it’s a regular occurrence.

    blue-flower-of-life

    We are collectively coming to the end of a cycle where ideas of tradition, cultural norms and social constructs have limited our potential. We are so much more than a physical vessel, and when you really feel that at your core, no scientific study or tangible proof is needed, it’s just as real as anything.

    The infinite universe exists outside of our container of what we consider real, so for the last time:

    Everything exists, creation is infinite: Aliens exist and have been interacting on our planet for some time now. There’s many that want to openly contact us but we are not collectively ready.

    Discern what resonates with you and what doesn’t; this is not about convincing.

    See what’s really going on. 

    Former CIA Agent Reveals Truth on his Deathbed

    Canadian Minister of Defense on the Interaction with Extraterrestrials

    • Paul Hellyer again on RT explaining like a boss, when asked”Why do you say UFO are as real as the airplanes flying over our heads.” He replies withBecause I KNOW that they are, in fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years.”  He goes on to say:

    There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb. They are very concerned about that and if we will use it again, because the whole cosmos is a unity and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos. They’re very much afraid that we might start using atomic weapons again and this would be very bad for us, and them also.”

    “There is a federation of these people, and they have rules, one of them is that they don’t interfere with our affairs unless they are invited. They have accepted the fact that this is our planet, and we have the right to run it but they are very concerned, they don’t think that we are good stewards of our planet. We are ruining our planet, we’re doing all sorts of things that we shouldn’t be doing, and they don’t like that. They’ve made it clear, and they have given us a warning.”

    • A citizens hearing on UFO disclosure was held at the National Press Club in Washing, DC. A number of professors, historians, scientists, high ranking political and military personnel gathered April 29th to May 3rd  to elaborate on the ongoing reality of extraterrestrial life. Here are the thoughts of the congress men and women who open mindedly understood the information on the existence of aliens.
    • A wiki leaks cable reporting the U.S. Ambassador calling on Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloev, the Dushanbe Mayor at his parliamentary office.  They began what was said to be a lengthy discourse which ended in the Mayor saying:

    We know there is life on other planets, but we must make peace here first.” 

    Okay and for you who like to dig deep, see all the sides and take in all the information, this video is worth a watch. The point isn’t to immediately make decisions, jump to conclusions or even take everything as a truth.

    When you get down to it, contradicting ideas, impossible thoughts and everythingalready exist, so the information in this video is as only as “out there” as you deem it to be. You are a creator, what you deem anything to be, it is to you.

    10 Reasons Why Humans May Not Have Come From Earth

    10 Reasons Why Humans May Not Have Come From Earth
     

    You know the phrase: Men are from Mars, women are from Venus … but what if we’re all from Alpha Centauri?

    An American ecologist by the name of Dr Ellis Silver thinks that he might have spotted a few telltale signs that humans did not originate from Earth, and that we’re actually beings from another world.

    There is a pretty well-accepted theory out there that organic matter may have been delivered to planet Earth by meteors, perhaps as single-celled organisms or just as the building blocks of life such as amino acids. 

    But Dr. Silver goes one step further: That we arrived as fully formed, complex organisms, between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago. Perhaps we interbred with Neanderthals, perhaps we’re just straight up aliens, all Silver knows is that there are some things about our physiology that just doesn’t add up.

    Citing everything from sunburn to childbirth in his book Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence, Dr. Ellis Silver points out all of the things that seem to contradict the idea that we evolved over millions of years in our earthly environment. Who knows, perhaps Earth is even some kind of prison colony, and we’ve been sent to this little galactic backwater to learn our lesson whilst the rest of the universe zooms about in lightships?

    Granted, these theories should probably be taken with a healthy pinch of salt, but what does the venerable Dr. Silver have to say about the possibility that we’re all just spacemen?

    11. Bad Backs

    If we evolved on this planet, why does just standing up on it hurt us?

    Silver argues that the gravity on our home planet must’ve been stronger, and so we’re progressively growing taller and taller with each generation, causing us to have bad backs. 

    It is thought, in the wider scientific community, that on planets with stronger gravity, human-like life forms would evolve to be much shorter and stockier to deal with the extra gravity bringing them down. 

    When that gravity isn’t there, we apparently start to grow like forced rhubarb, ending up so tall and willowy that our own skeletons can’t support us very well.

    There could also be a counter argument that the gravitational pull on our home planet is, in fact, weaker, and the fact that our bodies will slowly bow to the pressure of Earth’s gravity over our lifetimes is proof that we evolved to deal with weaker gravity. 

    As we grow older, we hunch over and even shrink, gravity slowly wears us down, starting with a crick in the neck and ending with a hunchback.

    Silver also wonders about the possibility that the food on this planet is more nutritious than on our home planet, causing a growth spurt. 

    If we spent all our time back home chewing on tough, woody vegetation (yum), then were sudden plunged into a world of strawberries and fillet steak, it’s possible that all of those abundant nutrients made us shoot up like a 14-year-old boy who lives on McDonalds and Red Bull.

    10. Childbirth

    In further expanding his argument, Silver points to the excessive nutrition on earth and a possible cause for the difficulties of human childbirth.

    The fact that humans have to spend hours screaming in pain to bring new life into the world, whereas the rest of the animal kingdom can drop a sprog in their sleep, has long puzzled anthropologists. Why is it such an ordeal for us to have kiddies when it’s literally our only biological purpose?

    Silver thinks that the high levels of nutrition that we get could cause our babies to grow far bigger in utero than our bodies are designed to cope with. 

    Indeed, it is a well-known phenomenon that people with diabetes have much larger than average babies due to the high sugar levels in their blood – this demonstrates that there is, in fact, a clear link between high nutrition and baby size. 

    Whether or not that means that diabetics are even more alien-y aliens than us regular aliens, Dr. Silver doesn’t specify.

    Perhaps this is also a result of our newer, willowy frames (thanks to the lack of gravity, remember?). Perhaps, back on our own planet, there are a load of stocky, troll-like beings happily squeezing babies out of their wide, childbearing hips left, right and centre.

    9. The Sun

    Ahh, it’s that classic summer scene. The moment there’s a little bit of sun, every spare bit of grass, beach or garden is littered with people turning gradually pinker.

    But why is that? Why does our own sun do us so much harm?

    This is one of Ellis Silver’s arguments for our alien origins. Humans will easily burn through sun exposure, whereas many creatures won’t.

    Humans, in contrast with other species, cannot sunbathe for more than short periods at a time without getting sunburned. This indicates that the human body is not effectively adapted to constant exposure to our sun, which is a funny thing for a species that have no protective layer of fur.  

    Our own sun, from which all life on Earth draws its energy in one way or another, will literally give us cancer if we stay out in it too long, other creatures have evolved so that this doesn’t happen. A lizard, for example, can sit out all day and not get so much as a tan line and some corals even produce their own SPF to protect themselves. 

    Silver thinks that this is because we evolved with a much weaker sun, or perhaps we originated on a planet with lots of cloud cover.

    Another thing that he highlights as odd is the fact that humans seem to suffer from seasonal mental disorders such as Seasonal Affective Disorder. Other animals migrate, hibernate or just tough it out when it comes to surviving an Earth winter, but humans just can’t seem to hack it.

    We can’t cope with a lot of sun, we can’t cope with a lack of sun – why are we so ill-suited to the comings and goings of the seasons if we’ve spent millions of years evolving on this planet?

    8. We Look So Different

    Right, so what’s the deal with this bipedal thing? How come everything else on the planet has remained perfectly happy with a low centre of gravity and sturdy base, whereas we wobble around on two legs?

    Perhaps it’s just because we’re looking at it from the inside, but you have to admit that we tend to stick out a bit. Two legs, extremely fine coat, hair growing out of odd places, opposable thumbs, huge heads, big, flat feet – we look much more like aliens than natives.

    Silver points to our lack pf body hair as a particularly odd feature of humans. It is necessary for humans to wrap themselves in the furs of other animals, just to stop ourselves freezing to death, even on the hot African plains where we are supposed to have evolved. 

    The theory is that perhaps on our home planet, the temperature didn’t fluctuate so much between night and day and at different latitudes. Possible reasons for this could be a thicker cloud layer that insulates the planet (a bit like on Venus), a binary star system (so that the sun effectively never sets), or even that the crust of the planet is much thinner, allowing the heat from the molten core to come up through the ground.

    As a weird side note: Our relatively high levels of subcutaneous fat and almost total hairlessness, as well as our bipedalism, would actually make us excellent swimmers. Maybe we were some kind of race of semi-aquatic dolphin people on our home planet.

    7. We’re Too Advanced

    The most conspicuously different feature of the human race, is just how much more advanced we are when compared to the rest of life on Earth.

    Why are we so far ahead of every other animal? It sounds like classic human arrogance, but for all our talk about how intelligent dolphins are because they can recognise themselves in a mirror – they didn’t invent the bloody mirror, did they? 

    Okay, how about if we argue that inventing things like wheels and mirrors and social media executives isn’t necessarily an indicator of intelligence? It’s still drastically different to what everything else on the planet is doing. 

    Why are we such outcasts from the natural world? It could be because it’s not our natural world.

    If we arrived on a primitive Earth with a head start, it could explain why we appear to be leaps and bounds ahead of every other species. Dr. Silvers also cites that fact that the “missing link” that would connect us with our common ape ancestors is still, er, missing (it’s not, but never mind).

    We could have come from a planet where a number of species were similarly advanced – perhaps that’s even the reason we left, to go and rule elsewhere.

    It all seemed to happen at once too. Evolutionarily speaking it took us fricking ages to get the hang of sharpened rocks, then, all of a sudden, we invented agriculture, writing, language, art, electricity, machinery, chemistry, quantum physics and pretty much everything else around us today. What the hell happened?

    6. We Can’t Sleep

    One of Silver’s arguments is that the human circadian rhythm is out of whack with the actual day-night cycle on Earth.

    The circadian rhythm is the thing that regulates your sleeping and eating patterns. It means that you’re tired at night and awake in the morning and is the reason why you feel jet-lagged after a long haul flight. As the Earth’s day and night cycle lasts for around 24 hours (not including leap seconds because come on), it would make sense for our circadian rhythm to also be on a 24 hour cycle, but it’s not.

    Dr. Silver uses the argument that the human circadian rhythm is on a 25-hour cycle, meaning that it makes more sense that we should have evolved on a planet with 25 hour days. Unfortunately, Silver is wrong with the 25-hour figure, but not about the fact that it doesn’t match up.

    It used to be thought that our circadian rhythm was a whole hour off, turns out it’s actually anything from a quarter to half an hour off. This doesn’t seem like much until you realise that (providing you stuck to your natural circadian rhythm) it would only take you a month to potentially be 7 hours out of whack. That’s a whole night’s sleep for most people.

    This means that our home planet could have been slightly bigger than Earth, in order to have longer days (although, again, it’s not quite that simple), and so this also feeds into Silver’s theory that our home planet had slightly higher gravity.

    5. We Don’t Like It Here

    Evolution generally means that a species adapts to its environment, but we don’t seem to want to play that game.

    A big part of the theory comes down to the fact that we have altered the planet to fit us, rather than the other way around; we just can’t seem to bear living in the natural world. The fact that we have altered our environment so drastically makes it seem as though we’re just not suited to living in earth’s natural habitat.

    In fact, what we’re doing appears not to be evolving, so much as terraforming.

    Another of Silver’s arguments is that we’re seemingly terrible at reading our own planet. Many animals have built-in sensors for natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis and even just the ability to predict the weather, whereas we have had to intervene with our technology in order to keep up with them. 

    It could be that we came from a planet that is not so geologically active, meaning that there would be no benefit for us to be able to predict earthquakes.

    Then, we have the fact that we can’t eat most of the food on this planet without altering it in some way. Whether it’s by cooking it, or through selective breeding, most of the food that we eat is not as nature intended it. 

    We’re not saying that our home planet had hamburger trees and rivers of lemonade (if it does then book us a one-way ticket to Alpha Centauri), but that fact that most animals, apart from us, are perfectly fine eating grass and raw zebra is a bit weird.

    4. Rapid Overpopulation

    Humans are spreading, and they’re spreading fast. 

    As of 2015, there are over seven billion of us crammed onto this tiny little planet and the number is always going up. Not exactly a balanced eco-system. 

    It’s almost as though we’re an invasive species.

    What happens when you introduce a new species into an environment that they did not evolve in? A lot of the time, they take over. 

    This is due to the fact that they do not have any natural predators and the local fauna are not equipped to defend themselves against them. This means that the non-native species has free reign to hunt, eat and breed, with the potential to decimate the local environment.

    This does sound an awful lot like how we interact with the natural world. We’re so far up the food chain, that we don’t even feature as the apex predator in it, we actually exist outside of earth’s eco-system. It does seem to scream foreign species.

    Even with other invasive species, the ecosystem will ofetn find a way to restore istelf back to normality. With “normal” imbalances in nature, that balance can be quickly restored as the food runs out, and the invading species will quickly begin to reduce in number again. This doesn’t appear to have happened to humans so far. 

    Perhaps, when the resources finally do run out, we’ll go the way of many other species and simply become one rogue algea bloom in the long natural history of the planet.

    3. A Prison Planet?

    One of Dr. Silver’s slightly more esoteric theories is that the Earth may actually be a prison colony for a society of galactic beings.

    It is apparently our naturally violent, vengeful, lustful, criminal natures that makes him think this. The fact that you don’t often observe this kind of behaviour in the animal kingdom makes Silver think that it could well be because these are traits that come from a completely different race of people.

    The theory is that we could have had our memories wiped and been dumped in a primitive backwater by a civilisation of space-faring beings as a sort of “cooling off” period, presumably after becoming too much of a menace to intergalactic society.

    Perhaps they hoped that we would integrate with the natural world on a young planet and become a peaceful race of hunter-gatherers, or something. 

    But actually what happened is that we almost immediately wiped out the Neanderthals and set about transforming the Earth to suit our anti-social ways, so they left us here.

    To be fair, given our earthbound history of shipping criminals off to somewhere out of sight and out of mind, this does sound like exactly the sort of thing we’d do if we ever became a planet-hopping race of pan-galactic beings. The question is, has it already happened?

    2. So Where Did We Come From?

    In order to figure out our origins, Dr. Ellis Silvers then takes us through the practicalities of colonising another planet, and he’s certainly given it a lot of thought.

    So, if we presume that this ancient race of humanoids has developed the technology to travel at near light speed, they would need to originate from somewhere that can be travelled to within a human lifetime. Say, 30-ish light years away.

    Silver reckons that these early settlers could well have brought frozen embryos with them to kickstart the whole breeding process, as they would have been elderly by the time they arrived (although this does sort of ruin the whole “Earth is a space prison” thing).

    Dr. Silver then goes on to list his top picks for our potential homeworld, including Alpha Centauri A and B (1 lightyear), Epsilon Eridani (10.5), 61 Cygni A and B (17), Epsilon Indi (20) and Tau Ceti (22). Do let us know if one of those names stirs something primordial in you, it could be the proof we need.

    The Alpha Centauri binary system eventually claims the top spot due to its proximity and the fact that it’s a binary system (remember our earlier discussion about the sun that never sets?). It would mean that, at even a fraction of the speed of light, it would still be reachable within one lifetime.

    Although, fair-minded as always, Dr. Silvers also allows for the idea that a race of galactic beings could well have harnessed the use of hyperspace and wormholes in order to reach our humble little Earth from pretty much anywhere in the universe. 

    So that doesn’t really narrow it down.

    1. An Editor’s Note

    one more thing jackie chan adventures

    Okay, it should be said at this point that Dr. Silver’s theories should be taken with a healthy pinch of salty skepticism. 

    The idea of planet seeding is one that is gaining lots of interest in the scientific community and many have expressed interest in investigating Silver’s thoughts more thoroughly. Of course, there have also been those who have said that “it is possible to drive a coach and horses through several of his arguments.” 

    Which is also a fair point.

    Silver often mistakes cause for effect and relies too heavily on the assumption that evolution is a perfect process. The idea that every mutation has to “make sense” completely is false, and the idea that evolution does not compromise is wrong. If the benefits of a particular mutation outweigh the cost, then it’s likely to stick around, warts and all. 

    For example, this accounts for the idea that childbirth is very difficult. In fact, it is because we essentially walk on our hind legs that our pelvises have changed shape. Luckily, the benefits of walking on two legs, thereby freeing up your hands for things like tool-making, outweigh the drawbacks of difficult and painful births (we can even use our hands to help each other give birth). This is known as the Obstetric Dilemma.

    Whilst this doesn’t Silver’s theory, it does slightly weaken the “Childbirth, what’s that all about, eh? Eh?!” angle. Something that Dr Sliver relies on quite a bit.

    There are quite a few holes like this in Dr. Silver’s theory. But, then again, Silver himself has said that his arguments are designed to spark open debate, and are by no means conclusive proof that we’re all aliens.

    So, with that in mind, let us know what you think in the comments. Are we a bunch of hyper-evolved aliens, trapped on this godforsaken rock, or are we just a bunch of apes in shoes after all?

    Nikola Tesla: Life Exists on Other Planets

    Nikola Tesla: Life Exists on Other Planets

    Nicola [sic] Tesla discussed communication between the earth and other planets today as if he regarded this as a feat no neater than telephoning to the cordial shop around the corner.

    Tomorrow he will be 76. It will be forty-six years since he came, a shy, unheralded youth, from the Province of Lika, in Eastern Austria. But the fire of his tremendous endeavor seemed to burn as fiercely this morning as it has any time down the years in which he has established his prominent place among scientists.

    Interplanetary communication is only one phase of that endeavor, he hurried to say. Annihilation of distance, he said, sums it up; annihilation of distance by transmission of energy.

    Certain of Life Elsewhere.
    “I am in dead earnest.” He spoke quietly and carefully. “I feel certain of what I tell you.

    “The transmission of energy to another planet is only a matter of engineering. I have solved the problem so well I don’t regard it as doubtful.”

    He is certain, too, he said, that there are creatures on other planets whose ways are like the ways of those on this one.

    “It is mathematically certain that other planets are inhabited. Every other planet has to pass through practically the same phase of existence the earth did, and life is started on them, during that favorable phase, by rays of some sun.

    “It develops in the presence of moisture and heat and light in much the same manner as life does on the earth.

    Interplanetary Forum.
    “We know that light propagates in straight lines, and consequently our perceptions of the forms through the images projected on the retina must be true.

    “Therefore, it should not be hard to establish intelligent exchange of ideas between two planets.”

    The earth, he thinks, might be the beneficiary.

    “It is conceivable that there is civilization on other planets far ahead of ours. If communication were established by the earth, the consequences to human beings would be incalculable.”

    Busy in Laboratory.
    He had been at work all day in his mid-town laboratory. Characteristically, he did not want to say much about it. As it always did, it concerns fundamentals; the application may come decades after his success in principle, as it has in radio and high-tension electricity.

    “I’m giving all my time to annihilation of distance. Same as ever. To my mind that’s the most important achievement to be hoped for in the furtherance of the intellectual development of man, as well as in the promotion of his material welfare.

    Radio Just a Step.
    “The wireless art already fulfills this in a large measure, but we must establish transmission of power in all its innumerable applications.

    “This has been my life work and I hope to see its full fruition before I am gathered to my forefathers.”

    Spruce and slim, with cane and gloves and a tailored air, he did not look 50 as he rose and stood by a desk on the mezzanine floor of the hotel where, a recluse among millions, he takes cover.

    Longs for His Wine.
    About him there was none of the traditional coldness of the pure scientist. He felt, he said like a boy.

    Why? Well, no coffee and no tea, for one thing. Another, he has never been married. He would be even more fit, he thinks, if they had not taken his wine away.

    “Just the same I could climb a tree 100 feet tall.”

    Meteorite Did NOT Kill Man in India: Experts

    Meteorite Did NOT Kill Man in India: Experts
    The rock taken by police from an impact site in India is being examined now by experts.

    It would have been a first — but it probably wasn't.

    A report earlier this week suggested that a falling meteorite killed a bus driver and injured three others in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. However, scientific experts have since looked into the matter and cast serious doubt on the initial report from Indian government authorities.

    "Considering that there was no prediction of a meteorite shower and there was no meteorite shower observed, this certainly is a rare phenomena if it is a meteorite," G.C. Anupama, the dean of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, told the New York Times.

    Meteorite Kills Man in India, Authorities Say

    NASA scientists, meanwhile, were more definitive in disclaiming the meteorite report. They said in a statement that photographs of the 5-foot-deep, 2-foot-wide impact crater indicated a "land-based explosion" may have caused the damage.

    In fact, according to the International Comet Quarterly, no meteorite-caused death has ever been confirmed. The closest report yet, according to the New York Times, was a 1908 incident in Tunguska, Siberia when a "blast" was reported entering Earth's atmosphere. The blast flattened hundreds of square miles of forest and killed two men and hundreds of reindeer. But no meteorite was recovered.

    As for the supposed meteorite recovered from the scene in India, reports are hardly definitive that it is, in fact, a meteorite. According to the BBC, some reports said police recovered "small stone weighing about 10g," while others refer to a "hard, jagged object in dark blue and small enough to be held in a close hand."

    Video: How Often Do Asteroids Buzz Earth's Tower?

    Derek Sears, a meteorite and asteroid expert at Nasa's Space Science Division, saw a photograph of the rock. He told the BBC that "the image of the stone is too poor to tell anything, but I would have thought if the object killed someone we would have a large stone?"

    If the falling object was not a meteorite, then what was it? Sears suggested to the BBC it could have been an object falling from an aircraft passing overhead. Others have said it could have been a bit of space junk that didn't burn up completely after passing through Earth's atmosphere.

    Needless to say, the definitive explanation remains a mystery.

    Turns out, Earth Isn’t as Habitable as We Think

    IN BRIEF

    According to a new calculation designed to determine the habitability of a planet, the Earth only scores a little over 80%.

    ONLY 82 PERCENT

    The world has long been obsessed with finding extraterrestrial life. Sadly, most of the planets that we stumble across seem rather uninhabitable. Indeed, the number of worlds that we see as being “habitable” is rather low.

    This makes recent findings about the Earth’s habitability rather surprising, and it seems that the universe may be more welcoming that we think.

    According to a study, which is based on a new calculation that rates exoplanet habitability, our planet (the one that we live and breathe on) scores just 82 percent on the habitability index.

    You see, despite the fact we are a hundred percent sure that this planet has living inhabitants, the habitability index places us a little too close to the Sun.

    “Basically, where we lose some of the probability, or chance for life, is that we could be too close to the [Sun],” said astronomer Rory Barnes from the University of Washington. “We actually are kind of close to the inner edge of the habitable zone. If we spotted Earth with our current techniques, we would reasonably conclude that it could be too hot for life.”

    HABITABILITY INDEX

    This new calculation was developed as a way to help scientists in their search for alien life on other planets. The index was created last year based on habitability-influencing factors, such as atmospheric pressure, access to water, geology, and how much energy the world in question can absorb (or reflect) from its nearest star.

    All things considered, researchers have come to the conclusion that anyone looking at Earth for possible signs of life would assume our proximity to the Sun means our planet could very well be too warm to be habitable. As a result, they may focus their attention on other nearby planets that score higher on the habitability index.

    “Remember, we have to think about Earth as if we don’t know anything about it,” said Barnes. “We don’t know that it’s got oceans, and whales and things like that – imagine it’s just this thing that dims some of the light around a nearby star when it passes.”

    Of course, we must also remember that alien life might have evolved on worlds that are far, far warmer than our own. As such, their “habitability index” would look very little like our own.

    Their findings will be published in The Astrophysical Journal.
