This Is What Gravitational Waves Sound Like (Video)
This Is What Gravitational Waves Sound Like (Video)
This would have blown Albert Einstein's mind: We now know what ripples in the fabric of space-time sound like.
On Thursday (Feb. 11), scientists with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) project announced that they had made history's first-ever direct detection of gravitational waves, mysterious phenomena first predicted a century ago by Einstein in his theory of general relativity.
LIGO's two detectors — one in Louisiana and the other in Washington state — recorded the space-time distortions caused by gravitational waves that were produced 1.3 billion years ago during the merger of two black holes.
LIGO records such distortions on a photodetector, based on how long it takes laser light to travel down both 2.5-mile-long (4 kilometers) arms of each L-shaped detector. But it's a relatively simple step to convert this information into sound waves, project team members said.
"We can hear gravitational waves. We can hear the universe," LIGO Scientific Collaboration spokeswoman Gabriela Gonzalez, a professor of physics and astronomy at Louisiana State University, said during a news conference Thursday.
"That's one of the beautiful things about this [detection]," she added. "We are not only going to be seeing the universe — we are going to be listening to it."
So, what do gravitational waves sound like? The original conversion to sound waves evokes the thump of a heartbeat, while an adjusted version designed to better accommodate the range of human hearing could be mistaken for a drop of water falling into a bucket.
The LIGO project is led by scientists from the California Institute of Technology and the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, and funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
Voor het eerst zwaartekrachtsgolven opgevangen van zwarte gaten
Voor het eerst zwaartekrachtsgolven opgevangen van zwarte gaten
Tim Kraaijvanger
Zwaartekrachtsgolven bestaan! Voor het eerst zijn de rimpelingen in de ruimtetijd gemeten door twee LIGO-observatoria. Wetenschappers beschouwen de ontdekking van zwaartekrachtsgolf GW150914 nu al als één van de hoogtepunten van dit jaar.
Om half vijf werd er een persconferentie gegeven in Washington DC om de ontdekking aan te kondigen. “Dames en heren, we hebben zwaartekrachtsgolven ontdekt”, riep directeur David Reitze van LIGO door de speaker. “We hebben het voor elkaar gekregen!” Dit kwam voor toeschouwers natuurlijk niet als een totale verrassing, want de geruchtenmachine draait al zeker een week op volle toeren.
De zwaartekrachtsgolven zijn afkomstig van een paar zwarte gaten. Op een afstand van ruim 1,3 miljard lichtjaar van de aarde zijn twee zwarte gaten steeds dichter om elkaar gaan draaien, wat uiteindelijk resulteerde in een samensmelting. De twee zwarte gaten waren respectievelijk 29 en 36 keer zo zwaar als de zon en draaiden net voor de samensmelting 75 keer per seconde (!) om elkaar heen. Nu is er een zwart gat ontstaan met een massa van 62 zonnen. Het totale proces duurde slechts 0,2 seconden. Wetenschappers hebben de zwaartekrachtsgolven die tijdens de samensmelting ontstonden – met de naam GW150914 – opgevangen.
“De totale output van zwaartekrachtsgolven tijdens de samensmelting was vijftig keer meer dan alle energie die alle sterren in het universum samen afgeven”, zegt wetenschapper Kip Thorne van Caltech. Hij is één van de oprichters van de LIGO-observatoria. “Dit is natuurlijk onvoorstelbaar.”
EERDERE CLAIMS
In 2014 kondigden onderzoekers aan dat ze mogelijk sporen van zwaartekrachtsgolven hadden gedetecteerd. Het was wereldnieuws, maar later onderzoek toonde aan dat het door de onderzoekers aangevoerde bewijs helemaal niet zo overtuigend was. Het signaal dat de onderzoekers aanzagen voor zwaartekrachtsgolven kon ook wel eens door iets anders veroorzaakt zijn.
Maar even terug, wat zijn zwaartekrachtsgolven? Zwaartekrachtsgolven zijn rimpels in de ruimtetijd. Albert Einstein stelde ruim honderd jaar geleden dat onmogelijk is om te spreken over tijd en ruimte als afzonderlijke entiteiten. De vier dimensies van de ruimtetijd zijn lengte, breedte, hoogte en natuurlijk duur. Zo weten we dat licht in één seconde een afstand van 299.792.458 meter aflegt.
Je moet je de ruimtetijd voorstellen als een vel papier. Planeten en sterren liggen als knikkers op dit vel, waardoor de ruimtetijd lokaal gekromd is. Daarnaast reizen er golven door de ruimtetijd. Dit zijn zwaartekrachtsgolven, die ontstaan bij hele bijzondere gebeurtenissen, bijvoorbeeld wanneer twee zwarte gaten fuseren of wanneer een gigantische ster ontploft. Je kunt het vergelijken met wanneer je een steentje in een plas water gooit. Er ontstaan direct kringen rondom het steentje.
Waarom zijn zwaartekrachtsgolven nu pas ontdekt? Je vraagt je wellicht af waarom zwaartekrachtsgolven niet eerder zijn ontdekt. Op het strand zijn golven in de zee makkelijk te spotten. Waarom niet in de ruimte? Dit komt omdat de hele aarde op een golf meebeweegt. Stel, je rijdt met een snelheid van 120 kilometer per uur op de linkerrijstrook en de automobilist naast je rijdt ook exact 120 kilometer per uur, dan lijkt het alsof zijn auto niet beweegt, maar dat is visueel bedrog. Dit geldt ook voor zwaartekrachtsgolven. De enige manier om ze te vinden is door op meerdere plekken metingen te verrichten en deze metingen vervolgens naast elkaar te leggen. Een goed voorbeeld is het LIGO-experiment in de Verenigde Staten. In twee vacuümbuizen van vier kilometer lang wordt de lengte van een bundel infraroodlicht gemeten. Met deze apparatuur is het mogelijk om piepkleine variaties te meten in de lengte van de bundel, zelfs als die variaties kleiner zijn dan eenduizendste van de diameter van een atoom!
“DIT IS HET BEGIN VAN EEN NIEUW TIJDPERK VOOR DE STERRENKUNDE”
Mysteries ontrafeld Wetenschappers kunnen zwaartekrachtsgolven gebruiken om meer te leren over het heelal. Een zwart gat zendt geen lichtdeeltjes uit, waardoor wij nooit weten wat er exact gebeurt in een zwart gat. Zwaartekrachtsgolven kunnen door geen enkele vorm van materie worden tegengehouden, waardoor we naar deze rimpels kunnen luisteren om meer te weten te komen over zwarte gaten.
Maar er is meer. Dankzij zwaartekrachtsgolven kunnen wij ook achterhalen wat er kort na het ontstaan van het heelal allemaal gebeurde. Aangezien de oerknal bijna veertien miljard jaar geleden plaatsvond, zijn de zwaartekrachtsgolven heel erg zwak in het huidige heelal. Het is dus onwaarschijnlijk dat deze golven snel worden opgepikt.
Stel, twee zwarte gaten of neutronensterren draaien om elkaar heen en smelten uiteindelijk samen, dan zouden de zwaartekrachtsgolven er ongeveer zo uit moeten zien:
Hieronder zie je de gemeten zwaartekrachtsgolven door de twee LIGO-observatoria kort voor, tijdens en na de samensmelting:
Fantastische (inter)nationale prestatie Wetenschappers in binnen- en buitenland zijn betrokken bij deze fantastische ontdekking. Zo hebben sterrenkundigen van de Radboud Universiteit en natuurkundigen van Nikhef en de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam belangrijke bijdragen geleverd aan het valideren en analyseren van zwaartekrachtsgolven.
“Wat we hebben gemeten is fantastisch”, zegt zwaartekrachtsgolvenspecialist Jo van den Brand. Hij is hoogleraar subatomaire fysica aan de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. “Het opgevangen signaal is zó helder dat het met het blote oog in de ruwe data is te zien. Een verrassend aspect van deze ontdekking is dat de zwarte gaten die zijn samengesmolten veel zwaarder zijn dan de zwarte gaten die we kennen in dubbelsterren in onze Melkweg.”
“Het signaal komt precies overeen met wat je zou verwachten volgens Einsteins theorie”, zegt Chris van den Broeck. Hij is wetenschapper bij Nikhef en werkte samen met collega’s maandenlang aan de analyse. “Nu kunnen we de theorie in de meest extreme situaties testen.”
“We kunnen nu beginnen met het onderzoeken van de ‘verdraaide’ kant van het universum”, zegt Thorne. “Denk aan objecten en fenomenen die zijn gemaakt door een verstoring in de ruimtetijd. Samensmeltende zwarte gaten en zwaartekrachtsgolven vormen nu het begin.”
“Dit is het begin van een nieuw tijdperk voor de sterrenkunde”, beweert sterrenkundige Gijs Nelemans van de Radboud Universiteit. “We krijgen een compleet nieuwe manier om naar het heelal te kijken en de meest extreme objecten te bestuderen. Met de nieuwe instrumenten kunnen we het einde van de complexe evolutie van zware dubbelsterren voor het eerst goed vastpinnen.”

Astronomers have directly detected elusive gravitational waves, 100 years after the existence of these spacetime ripples was first proposed by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity. Scientists with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) announced the find in a news conference today (Feb. 11). DISCOVERY STORY: In Historic First, Einstein's Gravitational Waves Detected Directly / Video Explainer
You can watch the gravitational waves science update live online here. Gravitational waves are generated by the acceleration (or deceleration) of massive objects in the cosmos. There's convincing indirect evidence that gravitational waves exist, but a direct detection had proven elusive, until now.
Read more about LIGO, gravitational waves, and what a direct detection means for astronomy, in Space.com's complete coverage below. (Note: Some of the stories below discuss a putative discovery of primordial gravitational waves in 2014 by a team using the BICEP2 telescope in Antarctica. But outside researchers have called that detection into question, claiming the gravitational-wave signal was likely caused by space dust.)
DISCOVERY STORY: In Historic First, Einstein's Gravitational Waves Detected Directly In one of the biggest discoveries in the history of space science, researchers have directly detected gravitational waves, the ripples in space-time predicted by Einstein. The detection should open a new era of astronomical observations.
Epic Gravitational Wave Detection: How Scientists Did It To spot gravitational waves directly for the first time ever, scientists had to measure a distance change 1,000 times smaller than the width of a proton. Here's how they did it.
Have Gravitational Waves Been Detected? Scientists Provide Update Today Researchers affiliated with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) are holding a news conference today (Feb. 11) at 10:30 a.m. EST (1530 GMT) at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

Gravitational Wave Rumors Rumble Social Media In the roller-coaster rumor mill that surrounds some of the biggest physics endeavors of our time, it pays to remain skeptical when extraordinary claims of historic discoveries are made on social media.
5 Myths About Gravitational Waves So are we likely to ever find gravitational waves? And would they really provide irrefutable evidence for the Big Bang? Here are five common myths and misconceptions about gravitational waves.
Do Gravitational Waves Cause Tiny Earthquakes? The Earth and moon can serve as giant detectors for ripples in the fabric of space-time known as gravitational waves, which are given off by stars, black holes and other massive objects in deep space, researchers say.
Project LIGO: How Lasers Could Reveal Glimpses of Gravitational Waves The ripples from violent cosmic collisions can be felt far across the universe, and thanks to a new, sensitive detector expected to start collecting data next year, scientists might be able to see evidence of those ripples from Earth for the first time.
Cosmic Inflation & Gravitational Waves: Complete Coverage of Major Discovery On March 17, 2014 scientists announced the first direct detection of the cosmic inflation behind the rapid expansion of the universe just a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. Gravitational waves play a big role.

CLANCY — What at one time was believed to be a UFO has turned out to likely be H2O, a Clancy resident says.
On Nov. 4, motion detector cameras set up on the back upstairs balcony of Dr. Richard O’Connor’s home captured photos of what he believed was a UFO. They were among 280,000 photos his cameras have taken over two years.
O’Connor, who is interested in UFOs and said he had set up the cameras in the hope of capturing something flying by, tried to have the photos analyzed and got various opinions, ranging from some saying that the photo had not been manipulated to others saying it had.
GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE
UFO captured? Clancy man believes he proves they exist
After dozens of emails from all over the country, O’Connor ran experiments on suggestions that the photo may be of a falling water drop. He said he used a turkey baster and dropped water so that the cameras could take some pictures.
“I am now convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that the Nov. 4 photo ... was, in fact, simply and only a couple of falling raindrops fortuitously (or not) captured by the Reconyx camera,” he wrote in an email Wednesday to friends. “Why all of these images of the water drops appear as flattened ovals rather than spheres I cannot explain ... This must have something to do with the acceleration of the water drops combined with the camera's shutter speed.”
“It is difficult for me to put into words just how disappointed I am about this news, especially when I consider just how many people, including myself, were truly fascinated by the Nov 4, 2015 photo as well as all the time and effort I have put into going over all of these (280,000) photos,” he wrote.
Debate over UFOs, roaming bison, Congressman Zinke
“Probably no Nobel Prize for me. Perhaps a Darwin Award?” he asked.
His email is addressed to ‘Friends of the JAML,” which is the Jesse A. Marcel Library that is on his property. The library is in honor of O’Connor’s friend, the late Jesse Marcel, a Helena physician who, as a boy in 1947, said he had viewed UFO wreckage in Roswell, N.M.
The group meets on Tuesdays at the library to discuss UFOs and other related issues. The next meeting is 7 p.m. March 1.
“Please do not bring any tar, feathers, or pitchforks,” O’Connor wrote.
UFO controversy
Tribune readers commented about a Sunday Tribune story on unidentified flying objects, including a photo; Gov. Steve Bullock’s move on Yellowstone Park area bison; and U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke’s vote in favor of the $1.15 billion federal omnibus spending bill.
John Trimble:
Sorry, Doc; what you saw was a drone disguised to look like the Millenium Falcon. They exist and people have been remotely flying them, lights attached and all for the full effect.
Ida Huff Lydick Bramhall, Greenleaf, Idaho:
I have seen a few UFOs in my lifetime. The most impressive one was in Bishop, Calif., in 1966 or ’67. It was huge and gave off a green glow in the dark color.
CG Arnell:
I applaud the efforts of the few to prove UFOs, the extra-terrestrial kind, exist. But it is more than a little annoying that no one, nowhere has ever taken a good, closeup picture or video of a UFO. Thousands of “sightings”... no video!
Merville Frederick, Seattle:
Just because we can’t identify an object in the sky, doesn’t mean little green men. It just means we can’t identify the object. The extraterrestrial is a whole other level of proof, but a UFO is a start.
Dan Thomson:
I have no doubt that we are not alone. I believe the UFOs we see are robotic probes that are like our probes to Mars and elsewhere; they do not always succeed. Roswell was a failed probe that was shot down. Marcel only saw wreckage, because it was a probe launched millions of years ago by an advanced civilization that is probably waiting another million years to hear back from their probes.
William Tash, Pinellas Park, Fla.:
If you spend years taking pictures and hoping to see a hammer, eventually you will see a hammer.
Bison roaming
Speak for the Animals Slaughtered by Wolves:
The boundaries of the park are the boundaries of the park. Period. The governor has no authority to dump these inbred, diseased bison on residents outside those boundaries. We don’t want them and this does nothing to control the overpopulation.
Zinke’s vote
Howard Strause, Tucson, Ariz.:
About 54 percent of all federal discretionary spending goes for military purposes. We spend as much on the military as the next highest nine countries combined. Yet (U.S. Rep. Ryan) Zinke says we need to spend even more. He suggests we cut the budget for the EPA. But spending for the EPA has decrease 75 percent, measured against the total budget, since 1980. The EPA's budget is only about .3 percent of the total budget. It spends close to 50 percent of its budget on clean water issues, something very important to Montana.
When we look at the aerospace industry today and the countries and companies leading it, some basic themes emerge. Today’s top companies are building global aerospace ecosystems to help manage the complex technology and products they provide. Many of these projects have multi-government support.
Aerospace leaders are embracing robotics in manufacturing to improve capabilities and processes and create a new generation of best practices and advancements.
It’s as if the aerospace industry is entering the Golden Age in which huge payoffs abound and we are only limited by our imaginations and determination.
A Trend Toward Privatization
Privatization and private company cooperation with state-supported aerospace are a major trend that has emerged over the past 15 years with talented and visionary tycoons including Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Besos using deep pockets to do things that were once thought impossible.
Aerospace Industry Consolidation
At the same time, what any one company can do by itself doesn’t seem enough given the huge capital expenditures and risks involved in aerospace ventures. As a result, Europe’s defense industry is on the verge of a historic consolidation, a transformation that will allow its aerospace companies to share risk and prosper.
In addition, the number of global cross-border joint ventures between major aerospace manufacturing companies (with the help of governments) is increasing. The recent agreement between Boeing of the United States and Tata of India to co-produce Apache fuselage aerostructures and integrated systems is just one of dozens of joint ventures created each year.
The Global Aerospace Industry
As the following infographic shows, the aerospace industry is global with at least a dozen major players on nearly every continent and suppliers on every continent.
The following graphic is a look at the huge budgets spent on space exploration ventures in 2015, with the United States’ NASA at $18.01 billion, Russia’s ROSCOSMOS at $8.14 billion, and the EU’s ESA at $4.94 billion. Some of NASA’s goals include sending humans to an asteroid by 2025, sending humans to Mars during the 2030s, and funding the Space Launch System (SLS) and the Orion Space Crew Vehicle that will be used for deep space exploration.

This appearance could be one for Mulder and Scully! A woman has spotted what could be a UFO while she was walking her children.
Fiona Powell, 41, from Bristol, was walking her children with friends along the promenade on Severn Beach, Bristol, when she took a photo of their surroundings.
But on closer inspection, the corner of one of the photos contained what appeared to be a flying saucer.
A close up of the object Fiona Powell snapped while out walking with family and friends along the promenade on Severn Beach, Bristol
She said that before the incident she had been slightly dubious about the existence of extra-terrestrials, but that this close encounter was now giving her pause for thought.
Fiona, who took the photo on 9 February, said: 'I'm undecided whether I believe in aliens or not, but this photo certainly meets the criteria of a UFO.
'After I had taken the photo, my friend zoomed in and it looked even more like a UFO. I have shown the photo to a few sensible friends and they all think it is incredible.'
De opwarming van de Aarde zorgt ervoor dat de ijskappen smelten en het niveau van het zeespiegel stijgt. Maar tegelijk wordt het aardoppervlak warmer en droger, en absorbeert het daardoor een deel van het extra water dat die opwarming met zich meebrengt. Dat blijkt uit een studie die het Amerikaanse ruimtevaartbureau NASA heeft gepubliceerd.
De aarde gaat zich gedragen als een spons
J.T. Reager
Uit gegevens die de afgelopen tien jaar zijn verzameld via satellieten, blijkt dat de continenten 3.200 miljard ton water extra hebben geabsorbeerd in de bodem, meren en aquifers (watervoerende lagen in de ondergrond), aldus de studie, die werd gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Science.
Dat fenomeen heeft de stijging van de zeespiegel tijdelijk met 20 procent vertraagd, zo blijkt. "We hebben altijd gedacht dat de groeiende afhankelijkheid van de mens aan grondwater voor irrigatie en consumptie, zich vertaalde in meer water dat zich van de aarde naar de zee beweegt", aldus J.T. Reager, van het Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) van NASA. "We hadden tot nu toe echter niet gemerkt dat de veranderingen in de wereldwijde watercylcus het afgelopen decennium de verliezen door het oppompen van grondwater meer dan compenseren, omdat de aarde zich gaat gedragen als een spons."
Betere voorspellingen
De watercyclus bestaat erin dat het water uit de oceaan verdampt, weer op de aarde terechtkomt in de vorm van neerslag, en dan weer richting de oceaan stroomt via beken en rivieren.
Volgens de onderzoekers van NASA zal deze ontdekking leiden tot betere voorspellingen over de stijging van de zeespiegel in de toekomst. De onderzoekers ontdekten het fenomeen nu pas, omdat ze tot nu toe niet over instrumenten beschikten waarmee ze metingen konden uitvoeren op heel de planeet.

E.T. Intervention Prevented Nuclear War, Says Former Apollo Astronaut
E.T. Intervention Prevented Nuclear War, Says Former Apollo Astronaut
One of the six men to set foot on the moon back in 1971, Edgar Mitchell, has never held back on remarks about extraterrestrial existence and activity, but his recent statements are nothing short of amazing.
He says aliens were not just simply visiting our planet or studying human behavior, but actively attempting to stop the Cold War before it even began.
The Apollo 14 member tells us he has knowledge of UFO presence during almost every single weapon-test carried out by the U.S. The peculiar and fast moving objects are said to have been spotted by not only regular troops, but also members of a higher rank.
One such facility was the infamous White Sands, where the first ever nuclear explosion took place, but most missile testing bases had been visited frequently by spacecraft during that period, according to Mitchell, who quotes military insiders on his claims.
He also states he has knowledge of his own, because he spent his childhood and teen years in New Mexico, somewhere around the bomb testing base, and also in the vicinity of Roswell, where the worldwide UFO community firmly believes the most notorious extraterrestrial encounter happened.
He says the aliens were showing interest in White Sands because they knew humans were testing a weapon they hadn’t yet completely developed and wanted to know about America’s ability when it came to such powerful weapons.
One other reason could be the aliens were worried that nuclear warfare or even testing might somehow affect their planet or some other parts of the universe. The veteran doesn’t’ think so though. He is firmly convinced their sole focus was to keep peace on Earth.
Edgar Mitchell says it is not only his opinion, but also that of people he has spoken to along the years who have been part of such encounters. For example, he says the staff camped at important missile bases in the harshest period of the Cold War could often see flying objects directly above them, in those uncertain moments when the push of a button could wipe out a whole continent.
Many times the aliens would make their equipment or missiles malfunction. In areas of the Pacific Ocean, personnel reported their flying missiles being shot down by unidentified aircraft. Mitchell also suggests the number of UFO encounters during that period is simply too high to be taken like a joke or conspiracy theory.
When asked about his thoughts on Edgar Mitchell’s remarks, Nick Pope (the Ministry of Defense’s UFO investigator) said Mitchell is a respectable and honest man, but we can’t be sure his sources, high ranking officials or not, have been similarly honest with him, so his claims could never really be verified because of the classified aspect of his discussions with such people.
Pope also said that the possibility of aliens attempting to keep peace on our planet by sending simple flying aircraft above military bases was a naïve fairy tale, because if we’re really being watched by extraterrestrials, they’re probably so advanced compared to us that they had far more powerful things available if they wanted to stop a nuclear war.
Well’ you can’t tell us we’re all crazy Mr. Pope. There’s another Pope already doing it.

3 Types of UFO You Probably Didn’t Know About [Video]
3 Types of UFO You Probably Didn’t Know About [Video]
The UFO phenomenon is full of mysteries, and I’m not talking about what the government and other agencies are hiding from us. There is a huge number of sightings each year, each of them having distinct particularities, so there is no risk of dying of boredom when analyzing these cases.
So why is there no official action directed towards these things? Why there’s no signal picked up by our advanced ground radars you might ask? Or why is there no trace of a downed alien craft if the appearances are so many?
According to some UFO analysts, the answer to this is quite simple – UFOs are more diverse than what you would think. They can vary from advanced artificially designed crafts such as the notorious Black Knight satellite, to speeding orbs that are capable of performing law-defying maneuvers, and last but not least, the organic UFOs.
If we look at the first type of UFO – the artificially designed craft of either earthly or alien origins, it’s easy to imagine a governmental cover-up scenario. If the officials manage to get their hands on one of this extremely advanced pieces of technology they are in for a treat since such a great “technological cake” would serve them well, and they’ll probably share it with no one.
Such a craft might be extremely hard to capture, however, according to numerous accounts, the above scenario is likely to have happened. If this type of UFO is artificial, then our earthly radars should be able to track it and ultimately capture it. So why is there no official evidence to back-up these claims? Well, because officials cannot be trusted when it comes to revealing classified information, but fortunately for us, there are some brave people who succeeded in smuggling actual footage of UFOs being chased by the military.
The below video surfaced in 2014 and it shows how a Black Hawk helicopter belonging to the Aguadilla Coast Guard is pursuing a presumed UFO. Watch carefully at 01:24 (timer displayed in upper left corner), when a second UFO comes out of the ocean joining formation with the original one, then both crafts smoothly descend into the water, seemingly unaffected by the hydrodynamic forces.
The second UFO example is the orb UFO. These small buggers appear to be the size of a drone and they’re capable of reaching tremendous speeds at a very high altitude while also performing impossible maneuvers such as brusque turns or drop-offs.
This type of UFOs are the most intriguing since there are no earthly devices that can match them. UFO researchers and enthusiasts have been documenting these peculiar orbs, and consider them to be artificially intelligent devices that are either remote controlled or piloted on their own. Below is a classic example of an orb UFO.
Alas, the third type of unidentified flying objects – the mysterious organic beings. This particular appearance is extremely puzzling to say the least. Franklin Ruehl, the renowned American ufologist and cryptozoologist depicts these UFOs as otherworldly beings that evolved from organic compounds found in space in order to survive its seemingly unlivable conditions, and may very well be the first lifeforms to arrive in the cosmos.
Different videos show how these beings are shapeshifting in the sky, morphing into various forms while steadily floating at high altitude, and when highlighted by the Sun, they form an aura of rainbow colors. These UFOs are also found in large groups, similar to a flock of birds, and some people even claim to summon them using only telepathic abilities.
The UFO phenomenon is real and it’s intensifying. If it involves actual alien beings or secret military technology we are yet to find out, and considering the great technological advancement of our species, the hour of disclosure might come sooner than you’d think.

8 US Soldiers Disappear removing 5000 yr old Flying Machine from Afghan Cave
8 US Soldiers Disappear removing 5000 year old Flying Machine from Afghan Cave
A vimana has been discovered in a cave in Afghanistan. It has attracted the attention of world leaders including U.S. president Obama. A group of soldiers made the discovery on a scout mission in the desert of Afghanistan. 8 U.S. troops are missing after making the discovery. FYI a vimana is an ancient flying machine described in ancient Indian Sanskrit epics. The vimana found in Afghanistan is reported to be an estimated 5,000 years old. It is said to be protected by a strange energy barrier that is preventing troops from extracting the vimana.
What caused the sudden rush of these most powerful leaders of the Western World to go to Afghanistan, this report continues, was to directly view the discovery by US Military scientists of what is described as a “Vimana”entrapped in a “Time Well” that has already caused the “disappearance” of at least 8 American Soldiers trying to remove it from the cave it has been hidden in for the past estimated 5,000 years.
Listen George Noory about this subject
From the ancient accounts found in the Sanskrit epic The Mahabharata, we know that a Vimana measured twelve cubits in circumference, with four strong wheels. Apart from its‘blazing missiles’, The Mahabharata records the use of its other deadly weapons that operated via a circular ‘reflector’. When switched on, it produced a ‘shaft of light’ which, when focused on any target, immediately ‘consumed it with its power’.
Most intriguing of all about this report is its stating that not just any Vimana has been discovered, but from the ancient writings contained in the cave where it was discovered, it claims that its “rightful owner” is the ancient prophet Zoroaster who was the founder of arguably one of the most important religions of all time called Zoroastrianism.

An Alien observer: Was the Moon set in place 4.53 billion years ago?
An Alien observer: Was the Moon set in place 4.53 billion years ago?
The Moon used to rotate at a faster rate in the distant past, and for some reason, its rotation slowed down and became tidally locked with Earth. There are traces of titanium, uranium 236, mica, and neptunium 237 on the moon… these elements have not been found to occur naturally… What is going on?
Mankind has always been fascinated by Earths loyal satellite, the moon. Believed to have been ‘formed’ around 4.5 billion years ago, Earth’s moon is one of the largest ‘natural’ and most mysterious satellites in the solar system. Many details about the moon have led numerous researchers and scientists to question its real purpose. Why is the moon in synchronous rotation with Earth, always showing us the same face? And why is it so important for life on Earth?
In the 21st century, there are many UFOlogists around the world who speculate that the moon is actually a giant base where extraterrestrials survey mankind’s progress. While this theory might sound absurd to many readers, there are quite a few details about the Moon which are simply put, inexplicable.
Robin Brett, a scientist from NASA stated, “It seems easier to explain the non-existence of the Moon than its existence.”
Set in place 4.53 billion years ago?
According to studies, if our moon did not exist, life on Earth would have probably had a hard time surviving. For example, its gravitational influence produces ocean tides and body tides on Earth. Mysteriously, The Moon’s current orbital distance is about thirty times the diameter of Earth and is exceptionally large relative to Earth: a quarter its diameter and 1/81 its mass. Even more interesting is the fact that the Moon used to rotate at a faster rate, but early in its history, its rotation slowed and became tidally locked.
But if the moon was ‘engineered’ as some suggest and is, in fact, an artificial ‘structure’ wouldn’t there be something on the moon that could uncover its mystery? Well, if we look closer, there are a couple of very interesting things. According to studies, the moon has a solid shell of around 20 miles made of highly resistant materials such as titanium, uranium 236, mica, neptunium 237. Definitely, elements that you would not expect to find “inside” the moon.
In the 1970’s Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcerbakov from the Soviet Academy of science wrote an article called: “Is the Moon the creation of Alien Intelligence?
How is it possible that the surface of the moon is so hard and why does it contain minerals like Titanium?
Mysteriously, there are some lunar rocks that have been found to contain PROCESSED METALS, such as Brass, Mica and the elements of Uranium 236 and Neptunium 237 that have NEVER been found to occur naturally. So how did they get there?
Uranium 236 is a radioactive nuclear waste which is found in spent nuclear and reprocessed Uranium. More interestingly, Neptunium 237 is a radioactive metallic element and a by-product of nuclear reactors and the production of Plutonium.
There are some lunar rocks that have been found to contain ten times more titanium than “titanium rich” rocks on planet Earth. Here on Earth, we use Titanium in supersonic jets, deep diving submarines and spacecraft. It’s unexplainable. Dr Harold Urey, Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry said he was “terribly puzzled by the rocks astronauts found on the moon and their Titanium content. The samples were unimaginable and mind-blowing since researchers could not account for the presence of Titanium.
Even more fascinating is the incredible orbit of the moon. It is the only known moon in the solar system that has a stationary, nearly “perfect” circular orbit. It’s a fact that the Moon does not spin like a natural celestial body. In other words, our Moon does not share any characteristics with other moons found in our Solar System. If it wasn’t strange enough, from any point on the surface of our planet, only one side of the Moon is visible.
What is the moon hiding… and why have we stopped going to the moon?
Here’s one new footage of a bright unidentified flying object flying across the sky above Homestead in Florida. This was filmed on 10th February 2016.
Witness report:Swirls of light in the sky in early morning close to Air Force Base Leaving my home in the morning to work when I saw swirls of lights in the sky in a pack but scattered a bit from each others. Seemed like burning debree falling from the sky. But the flame looking objects stayed and swirled around and return to its original spot. There was more than 6 of them and then slowly faded away one by one. This was close to the Air Force Base in Homestead, Fl. This is the first time I see anything such as this
The following interesting sightings were reported to the Mutual UFO Network. MUFON is the world’s oldest and largest UFO phenomenon investigative body where you can share and report your sighting.
Case 1: Gradually cloaked object in the sky over WV, US.
I was taking photos of the full moon on a friend’s porch and I captured a photo of the object. It appeared out of nowhere and it was there without moving, without sound for about 15 minutes.
I watched it gradually camouflage with the sky. There was an odd feeling in the air. Like static electricity. I felt tingly. It’s hard to describe and it sounds crazy but I felt almost euphoric during the time I saw it.
All I know is I know what I saw and I know I cannot explain it as just some anomaly. When you see the photo, you be the judge.
Case 2: High speed UFO over Gilroy CA, US.
I was leaving through my kitchen door to the back patio on the step before exiting I saw a huge dark, seemingly stationery object in the sky.
In a reflex, I quickly turned and picked up a camera from the kitchen table next to me.
Instinctively, I just aimed the camera in the direction of the object and clicked to take the shot. Instantaneously the object disappeared and I believed that I had not got the photo I was after.
The roll of film got left to one side, not till some time later did it get developed. I noticed there was something on a photograph, sometime later when I then had photographic software I came across the photo put it in my computer and was able to look at a larger version of my photo. It was then, that I realized I had managed to get a picture of the object I’d seen earlier. The image was taken in 1996-08-14.
Case 3: Silvery UFO over Buenos Aires.
I was returning from work when I decided to capture some photographs from the rising sun when I saw a silver shining object that moves slowly in the sky before it disappeared.
I took some images of this strange object which made no noise. Seeing something what I cannot explain gave me a mixed feeling inside of me.
Case 4: Pulsating and moving UFO captured with Telescope in Citrus Heights, CA, US.
I was at my house in Citrus Heights moving my car for my brother-in-law to go to work. I observed an object that was unusually bright to the east in the sky.
I pointed it out to my brother-in-law and asked him what he thought it was. I observed it slowly ascending into the sky 40 degrees from the horizon. This was about 5:45 in the morning.
I returned inside to get the telescope that we have. I proceeded to set up the telescope outside my front door and view the object through the lens.
I observed an object resembling an eye that was slightly pulsating and moving slowly. It was yellowish green in color and had a circle in the middle that was black with three line like things separating it into three pieces.
I was not sure what the object could’ve been initially, so I proceeded to take pictures through the lens of the telescope thus documenting my observation.
I thought it was very strange and something I’ve never seen before. I asked several people of my acquaintance and family if they had ever observed anything that was similar; they had not.
I lost sight of the object because the sun finally rose and the light obscured anything else to be seen. To my knowledge it never stopped moving upwards.
A flying saucer reportedly appeared as a family stopped to take a picture of some motorbikes on a bridge. After the family posted photos of their sighting, many conspiracy theorists offer their thoughts about it. A photograph shows an apparent UFO above the motor bikers.
Argentinian Verónica, one of the family members, said she took a photo to capture a group of bikers crossing a bridge when she spotted unusual flying object above it.
After she had screamed, other familymembers looked at it in the sky some 50 meters away. The object allegedly disappeared after the photo was shot. Verónica said they ran back to their car for safety.
The family revealed the sighting occurred at La Rinconada, close to Junin de Los Andes in Argentina.
As usual, not everyone is convinced about her story. Many believe Verónica is making up aUFO sighting story. UFO enthusiasts wonder why the family run away after seeing something unusual. They say that people usually stare as long as possible and try to understand what they are seeing.
However, another UFO witness defends the reaction of the family. The witness said that the first time she saw a UFO was with her boyfriend, and she was scared. Her boyfriend reportedly wanted to stare, as it got closer, she was afraid.
Another commenter said that he/she would do the same thing after seeing a giant black arrow in the sky.
UFO enthusiasts had observed disc-shaped object orbiting an asteroid very close to earth, igniting speculations of NASA covering up an alien spaceship.
NASA said that it was nothing but a small moon. Nevertheless, this doesn’t stop UFO enthusiasts to accuse the space agency of not telling the truth and insist that the object is a spaceship.
Tyler of Secureteam10 made a video explaining the reason he believes the object discovered on asteroid 2004 BL86 is not what NASA had told. The object in question passed 199,600 km from Earth on January 26, 2015.
Tyler says the 7-metre in diameter object doesn’t look like a moon as it has a long, metallic cylindrical hull with two other smaller cylinders that appear like arms sticking out the side.
Even though Tyler admits it isn’t a conclusive proof, he is pretty confident it is of alien origin. He says that even if NASA had a better footage of the UFO, they would edit it for it to look like a moon.
Some YouTube viewers commended the work of Tyler saying that it is important to keep a critical eye and common sense when it comes to dealing with any information from NASA.
However, others argue that NASA is correct as objects spotted close to every asteroid have always been in a circle, oval, or disc-like shape. One commenter said that the small object moving in from the top of the frame is the asteroid’s satellite, meaning the moon.
The YouTube user further explained that hundreds of professional astronomers and thousands of amateur astronomers have been monitoring this object. He said that NASA released information after it was examined by dozens of non-government agencies, including those who are seriously researching evidence of extraterrestrial life.
The post continued that it was quite odd that out of 20,000 individuals who have looked into the matter, none of them claimed what Tyler was claiming. The commenter concluded that it was a moon.
James Gilliland had an interview this week on the Weekend Today Show in Austrailia. He is a unique person, who seems to shun the fancy cloths for something more comfortable. He runs the ECETI Ranch at Mount Adams, Washington, where its famous for its nightly UFOs and orbs. Although the mountain sky is busy with UFOs, the aliens don't seem interested in direct contact, but have met him personally on a few occasions. Perhaps direct contact with humans today is forbidden for some reason. Anyway, I wish I had been to his live talk he had for fans in Melbourne. Would have been cool to hear him in person, his thoughts, his experiences at the ranch. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
This UFO was caught by Streetcap1 of Youtube. The UFOs are over a national monument in Mexico. Inside the monument is a museum. Aliens probably have a high interest in historical sites and may watch us to see how we react to our own history. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
We've finally found gravitational waves, so can we time travel?
We've finally found gravitational waves, so can we time travel
.
Physicists working with a powerful observatory on Earth announced Thursday that they have finally detected ripples in space and time created by two colliding black holes, confirming a prediction made by Albert Einstein 100 years ago.
These ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, were created by the merger of two massive black holes 1.3 billion years ago. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) on Earth detected them on Sept. 14, 2015, and scientists evaluated their findings and put them through the peer review process before publicly disclosing the landmark discovery today.
While this finding potentially opens a up a new way to learn more about how the universe works, there's one question in particular non-scientists seem to want answered: Can we finally travel through time now?
First of all, it's not a bad question.
Think about space-time as a fabric that stretches through the universe and is affected by matter like stars, black holes, planets and other cosmic objects. Massive bodies warp space-time around them, creating what we feel as gravity on Earth.
It would follow that learning more about it could lead to some kind of understanding of how to manipulate space-time to somehow travel through time.
However, according to one well-known expert, this new gravitational wave discovery won't necessarily get us there.
"I don’t think it [the detection of gravitational waves] is going to bring us any closer to being able to do time travel. I wish it would," said LIGO co-founder Kip Thorne during a press conference announcing the discovery.
Thorne should know, given that he was also an executive producer on the 2014 film Interstellar, which involved travel through a wormhole in space-time.
Even though we probably won't be able to surf a gravitational wave into the future or the past, this finding still means a lot for physics.
The merger of the two black holes "created a violent storm in space-time," Thorne said, allowing scientists to see the disruption in space-time as it passed through Earth's part of space.
By confirming that gravitational waves are produced by the extreme collisions of massive objects in the universe, it gives scientists a new way to explore space. Instead of just looking at the cosmos in infrared, optical and ultraviolet light, researchers can now use gravity as another way to investigate.
But the book isn't necessarily closed on the time travel question.
Some scientists haven't yet counted out the idea that this discovery could lead to something unexpected way down the line.
“The discovery will allow us explore space and time in a spectacular new way," physicist Brian Greene told Mashable. "Might that one day yield breakthroughs in space travel or perhaps even in time travel? Who knows. But deep understanding is the first step forward."
For decades, those who had contact with aliens, or contact with UFOs and how they work said that that the disks ride gravitational waves like a sailboat on water. That the disk three propulsion units allows it to ride these waves, and since the waves travel at or faster than the speed of light, time travel is possible. Just a few weeks ago, scientists also announced some new elements discovery. Element 115, if cut into a coin-size piece, can power a UFO for over 20 years non stop, is now recognized by scientists to exist. It seems its possible to build a light speed capable ship. Scott C.

Ironically, this interview with Dr. Edgar Mitchell was done in Roswell, New Mexico. Dr. Mitchell is a personal friend, one of those wise men with unconventional wisdom because he surpasses the confining boundaries of scientific research when he discusses “Quantum Cosmology!” He is honest and wants the planet to progress on its evolutionary path and he does include that “paranormal phenomena” that Allen Hynek once told me not to overlook.
Interview with Dr. Edgar Mitchell Apollo 14
Roswell July 5, 2004
“I think I've reached the point that I'm convinced enough of the reality of the ET presence and I'm not going to deny it and shy away from it
… It is time to open this up to the public.”
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14
Paola: It is a pleasure to see you here in Roswell. I think that you said that you grew up in this area. I think you said that you lived here when you were about 3 to 13 years old?
Mitchell: I lived here from when I was five until I went off to College. We had a family business in the valley. It was between Roswell and Artesia.
Paola: Friends talked you into coming to speak here at the UFO museum?
Mitchell: I resisted for a long time.
Paola: Did you resist because it was connected with the UFO phenomenon?
Mitchell: No. I think I've reached the point that I'm convinced enough of the reality of the ET presence and I'm not going to deny it and shy away from it. I don't get into it in detail. That is not my area.
Paola: I know that your area is more the metaphysical.
Mitchell: Well, I think it is an interaction there. Particularly, since there does seem to be a non-local communication or mental tie here with some of these functions, whether they are real or not, I don't know.
Paola: Can I ask you, why is it they pick you of all the astronauts? In the media, you have beenselected as one who represents the astronauts' testimony as to this UFO reality, although you mentioned you never saw one in space. Gordon Cooper talks a lot more about it in his book Leap of Faith. So why you? Is it by talking about the metaphysical they have attached you to the weirdness factor?
Mitchell: I think it was the personal connection, since I had personal contacts in this area. I think it is my credibility as a scientist. I am very, very incredulous about what I see. I can't throw caveats in. I don't make blanket statements. Although my experience is not first hand experience, I have become a spokesman for my colleagues who did have first hand experience. I am very clear about all of these things and I am very clear about where our lack of knowledge is. What is the frontier? What are the unknowns? What are the parameters that we don't understand? I think this gives me a lot of credibility.
Paola: What advice would you give those serious researchers that want an answer and, let's say, dream of harmony with cosmic cultures? What advice would you give them?
Mitchell: We are dealing with a difficult process here. The main problem is that we, as an Earth civilization, have not come to understand ourselves; see ourselves in a cosmic sense at all. We are still very provincial. We fight over religion. In my opinion, fundamentalist Christians are just as bad as fundamentalist Islam and, at the very core, neither religion is like that. In the inner core of both of them, these religions talk about qualities like Love and Brotherhood.
Paola: You are saying that there are more similarities than differences?
Mitchell: Of course. It's the cultural differences. It is not an intrinsic difference. It is like I said in my talk last night: “the transcendent experience is common to every culture in the world” and the transcendent experience is Brotherly Love, Nature, Harmony, the Unity, and cultures, in trying to define it, try to define an external deity as opposed to the process.
Paola: It is easier that way because you don't have any responsibility. I guess a proverb could be: You can blame it on the devil or God. It is a lack of taking responsibility for who we are.
Mitchell: Well, that's right, and our ignorance, and it is based on the egos we have. It is the unwillingness to go beyond ego. Transcendence gets you beyond ego. If you go beyond ego, you see all of this in a more decent perspective and you can start to put all pieces together. We haven't done that yet. Not as a civilization.
Paola: That is why you think that contact is not likely until we get there. Right? Humanity as a species is not there. You mentioned in your talk yesterday, if they ask where you are from, you don't say from Earth, you say from LA.
Mitchell: Yes. That's true
Paola: So do you think there has to be a one world, kind of, political situation?
Mitchell: Of course, that is what has to happen.
Paola: People have some commonality. Right?
Mitchell: In due course, that's what has got to happen. If we survive that long. We might wipe ourselves out before that. I don't think it is a forgone conclusion that we are going to survive. That is where the philosophic, the whole notion of determinism and what the future is like, applies. We are creating the future. It is not determined. If we get our act together and solve our current problems, we could have a sustainable, abundant future. If we don't, we could wipe ourselves out. We are on the verge of doing it with our current politics. It is regressive; going back the other way.
Paola: I need to ask you a personal question. Would you have liked to have contact with a cosmic culture?
Mitchell: Yes. Of course!
Paola: This is very ironic because you are the chief astronaut spokesman for the ET presence and have never had contact. [That is] like me, who has been in this work for over 30 years now and has never seen a UFO.
Mitchell: Yes. I would. I would like to speak from first-hand experience instead of second-hand experience.
Paola: Has it been lonely for you to have this vision and not many people to share it with, because the vision you have is kind of a “completion” vision; a kind of overall picture vision, and it is true that you are spending three quarters of your time trying to explain it to people.
Mitchell: I would not put it in those terms because I spend ninety per cent of my time trying to explain it to myself!
Paola: But you know that is truth for you. You are outspoken about that.
Mitchell: Well, I'd like to discover Truth; when I can latch on to something that I think is true. Our knowledge base is incomplete and all we do is keep adding to our knowledge base. I think it laughable, frankly, that the Physics community comes up with a theory for everything. There isn't one theory for everything. There is not one explanation. We may eventually have several theories that can tie things together nicely but there is not a single theory of everything.
Paola: Like the Big Bang being the main theory of creation – and what about Super String theory and others…?
Mitchell: Well, the Big Bang has gone away but as far as Super String that is suspicious for me. It all starts out with the notion of Big Bang, which starts out, if it were true, starts out with incredibly high temperatures. So they think [we] need to get these high temperatures for this broken symmetry; all this broken symmetry reunited, and we do not have enough energy in the whole galaxy to get to those temperatures, to prove their point. To me, that is the single flaw in Super String theory. Now there are a lot of good points but if it could hold together any better than the Big Bang theory I don't know. I'm not a physicist.
Paola: You are not going in that direction. You are more into the awareness and what you can accomplish as a human. Is that right?
Mitchell: Yes. And I also think we are moving into a direction of quantum cosmology, as opposed to starting with “big bang” and trying to make quantum physics fit into it.
Paola: Quantum Cosmology. That's a new term.
Mitchell: That originates from Quantum processes. That is, the quantum fluctuations within a zero-point field can start the process that builds the process, which builds into matter, an irreversible process. We have some evidence that suggests that. We don't have a Big Bang but we have a lot of little pops! A continuous set of little pops!
Paola: That is a good metaphor. In your talk, one of the things you talked about is that the “intent” creates action. The intent creates our reality, which makes us who we are. If that is true, then that makes us powerful on a planet that has always been undermined by great powers trying to put down the masses. So, is the idea that “intent” creates, and we can create realities, and we can also create events?
Mitchell: We are creating. I don't create yours and you don't create mine but we each create “ours!”
Paola: In the past we have always given up our power to the power structures, so would you agree that it is very likely unpopular to the individual people and that it is hard for them to believe they have power?
Mitchell: You have to tie it with transcendence because, when you transcend the transcendent states, you get past the ego structure, and at that point you don't need laws, you have “morality!” You have inborn, natural ethics because it is built on Love.
Paola: That seems to be the secret word.
Mitchell: Yes. That is why the ancient traditions, even Christianity, say God is Love. There is symmetry here. The fundamental step where you get into this transcendent state is this feeling of ebullience, love and caring and unity.
Paola: And you do not need laws.
Mitchell: That is the law! You learn to live in that. It is hard to live in that too when you are in this world, that is why the great mystics go to the mountains tops; to get away from the world, so they don't have to deal with it – but it doesn't help the world that much.”
Paola:I do admit that to effect change you need to submit to the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” and, especially for a woman researcher, it becomes a severe credibility issue. We all get discouraged at times, but to have a conversation like this with Dr. Mitchell was a once-in-a-lifetimeevent. The metaphysical methodology he speaks about is the very “key” to unlocking the phenomena. This wisdom is that of many centuries of study.
