Astronomers: There May Be Two (Or More) Extra Planets In Our Solar System
Astronomers: There May Be Two (Or More) Extra Planets In Our Solar System
T. PYLE, CALTECH/NASA
IN BRIEF
Astronomers are debating new research that suggests there may be two additional massive planets beyond Neptune in our Solar System.
PLAN(ET) NINE FROM OUTER SPACE
Planet Nine, the massive icy world that may be lurking in the farthest reaches of our Solar System, might have a friend. After performing new calculations on the data that originally gave rise to the Planet Nine hypothesis, astronomers believe multiple planets could be hiding at the edge of our Solar System.
Yes, that’s right. Astronomers say there could be at least two more planets in our Solar System
José Antonio Peñas (SINC)
Researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) originally found evidence for Planet Nine based on the unusual movement of six large objects floating in the Kuiper belt, suggesting that their orbits are shaped by a hidden planet. Now, a new team of astronomers suggests that these Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) might not be as stable as had been previously thought.
“With the orbit indicated by the Caltech astronomers for Planet Nine, our calculations show that the six ETNOs [extreme trans-Neptunian objects, which are often dwarf planets], which they consider to be the Rosetta Stone in the solution to this mystery, would move in lengthy, unstable orbits,” says one of the team, Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, an independent Spanish astronomer.
In other words, the gravitational effect that Planet Nine itself would have on these ETNOs could help make them too unstable to be moving the way the Caltech scientists thought. According to de la Fuente Marcos, it’s possible that the stability of these objects might instead be due to the gravitational pull of a number of undiscovered planets.
“That is to say we believe that in addition to a Planet Nine, there could also be a Planet Ten and even more,” said de la Fuente Marcos.
NASA WEIGHS IN
So, should we start rewriting the science textbooks? Not everyone is convinced. Mike Brown, a member of the Caltech team, is critical of the new findings.
“I think it’s way too early to start speculating about a second planet, but, in general, I am confused by their results,” he told Abigail Beall at the Daily Mail. “We have a nearly identical analysis which shows nearly the opposite result.”
Jim Green, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division, also weighed in on the possibility of a Planet Nine (and beyond), clarifying that the results are interesting and inspiring, but that thisevidence does not equate to a discovery:
“The possibility of a new planet is certainly an exciting one for me as a planetary scientist and for all of us. This is not, however, the detection or discovery of a new planet. It’s too early to say with certainty there’s a so-called Planet X. What we’re seeing is an early prediction based on modelling from limited observations. It’s the start of a process that could lead to an exciting result.”

Robot explorers have found Mars to be a world of sulfur, acids, magnesium, iron and chlorine compounds, all of which are sunbaked and wrapped in a carbon-dioxide-rich atmosphere.
But what would this complex and exotic brew smell like?
It turns out that everyone — not just Mars explorers — might be able to find out, because there may be ways to recreate whiffs of the Red Planet here on Earth. [The 7 Biggest Mysteries of Mars]
Headspace tech
One relatively recent innovation in the perfume business is "Headspace" .
"It gathers the molecules, and then the sample is brought back to the lab to be analyzed by spectral analysis. The results are typically synthesized to create a scent that mimics the smell of those molecules," said Jacquelyn Ford Morie, founder and chief scientist of the California-based company All These Worlds LLC, which uses virtual reality (VR) and other technology to create "immersive experiences" for a variety of applications.
A scent collar has been invented to bring the power of smell to augment virtual-reality experiences.
Credit: All These Worlds
Morie thinks Headspace, or something like it, could be used to decode the smell of Mars.
"I think that new artisan fragrance designers would love to design a series of scents that are their own, nonsampled interpretations of what Mars might smell like," she told Space.com.
A future mission could take a spectroscopic reading of the Martian atmosphere, then beam that information back to Earth, where Headspace hardware could reconstruct (or evoke) the Red Planet scent, Morie added.
"That's the cool thing about the artisan scent designers," she said. "They can add the more stinky elements to make a scent that hints at the real Mars while still being cool to smell. Many top fragrances have small bits of those otherwise smelly elements in them."
Eau de Red Planet
Astronaut-geologist Harrison Schmitt on an Apollo 17 moonwalk in 1972. The cohesive nature of the lunar soil is borne out by the "dirty" sheen of his space suit, later tracked into the nearby lunar module. Apollo crewmembers likened the smell of lunar regolith to spent gunpowder.
Credit: NASA
Morie suspects that the predominant Mars odor is a slightly acrid, gassy smell of sulfur compounds, with a chalky, sweet overtone punching through. This scent would become a big part of Red Planet settlers' lives.
"Imagine 30 or 40 years from now, when we have established colonies on Mars, and the colonists have become not only accepting of the scented detritus they track into their habitats, but actually consider it the smell of home," Morie said.
Future colonists could perhaps also use finely crafted habitat scents as harmonious counterpoints to the native smells of their adopted planet, she added.
Studies have shown repeatedly that smell is intimately tied to memory; whiffs of a familiar scent can trigger nostalgia and other strong feelings about times long past.
So, if Mars colonists "need to return to Earth, they would absolutely require a vial or two of 'Eau de Red Planet' to remind them of their life on this distant human outpost," Morie said.
Extraterrestrial encounters
Decoding or replicating Mars' scent would not be the first extraterrestrial encounter of the odor kind.
During the Apollo lunar landing program, for example, some of the moonwalkers noticed that they had brought back rock and dust particles into their lunar module. The material tainted their spacesuits. Once the astronauts took off their helmets, the moon's smell — which was likened to wet ashes in a fireplace, or spent gunpowder from a just-fired shotgun — was evident.
Then, in 1998, scientists with New York-based International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF) sent a miniature rose plant aboard the space shuttle Discovery on its STS-95 mission, to study the effect of microgravity on scent.
Mars
No planet is more steeped in myth and misconception than Mars. This quiz will reveal how much you really know about some of the goofiest claims about the red planet.
Using proprietary technologies, the team, led by Braja Mookherjee, tracked radical shifts in the living flower's scent over the course of the shuttle flight.
"Ultimately, they discovered and created new-to-world profiles that have since gone on to enormous commercial success," IFF representatives wrote in a blog post late last year.
In addition, artisan Carrie Paterson has investigated making scents of life on Earth that can be embedded as olfactory information into multichannel interstellar messages. Then, there's the work of designer Saskia Wilson-Brown, who's interested in finding out what UFOs might smell like.

'Mysterious Object' May Be First 'Extinct' Meteorite
'Mysterious Object' May Be First 'Extinct' Meteorite
By Charles Q. Choi, Space.com Contributor
A newly found fossil meteorite is of a kind different than any ever found, suggesting it may come from a parent asteroid consumed by collisions whose fragments no longer fall to Earth.

A newly uncovered meteorite may be the first-ever "extinct" meteorite — a member of a class of meteorite that no longer falls to Earth. The ancient rock may yield insights on a cosmic impact that created most of the meteorites that now crash on Earth, and which may have influenced the evolution of life on Earth, researchers said.
The most common meteorites on Earth, which make up about 85 percent of the rocks that fall onto this planet from space, are known as ordinary chondrites. Chondrites are made up of tiny round pellets known as chondrules, which form when molten mineral droplets quickly cool in space. These stony meteorites are thought to come from similarly rocky asteroids. [Photos: Rare Meteorite Found in Minnesota]
The most common kind of ordinary chondrite is known as the L-type, which makes up about 47 percent of those rocks. Previous research on meteorites embedded in ancient marine limestone revealed that about 470 million years ago, there was an at least hundredfold rise in the number of L-type chondrites that crashed onto Earth. This suggested that the parent asteroid of all the L-type chondrites experienced a major collision with another asteroid at about that time.
"If we see that changes in the asteroid belt correlate with changes in Earth's biosphere or climate, then there is probably a connection and we will be able to better tie Earth's history to the history of the solar system," Schmitz told Space.com. "Earth scientists have for the past 200 years had a tendency to look on Earth as a closed system, but the discovery of the asteroid impact that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago made at least some earth scientists understand that the history of life and Earth is connected to the astronomical realm."
Now researchers say they may have discovered a meteorite that is a remnant of the asteroid that smashed into the parent of the L-type chondrites.
"The single meteorite that we found on the Ordovician seafloor is of a type that we do not know of from today's world," Schmitz told Space.com. "This hints that the types of meteorites that fell on Earth in the ancient past were very different than those falling today."
More than 100 fossil meteorites embedded in marine limestone have been found in Sweden's Thorsberg quarry. The meteorites fell to Earth around 470 million years ago after asteroids smashed into one another.
Credit: Birger Schmitz
The newfound meteorite is a rock about 3.15 inches (8 centimeters) long that is about 470 million years old. It was unearthed in Thorsberg quarry near the Swedish village Österplana alongside more than 100 L-type chondrites of similar age.
The meteorite possesses grains of crystals known as spinels that are very different from those found in all other known meteorites. Further analysis of the strange meteorite found that its ratio of chromium to oxygen isotopes is unlike any seen from known meteorite types.
"For a long time we called the meteorite the 'Mysterious Object' because we could not understand what it was," Schmitz said.
Schmitz and his colleagues measured how long the newfound meteorite had been exposed to cosmic rays, a dating technique called cosmic ray exposure, and they found that the impacts that gave birth to the meteorite, now named Österplana, or Öst 65, and to the L-type chondrites found with Öst 65 both occurred about 1 million years before all these meteorites crashed on Earth. This suggests that the impact that formed Öst 65 was the same one that destroyed the parent of the L-type chondrites, the scientists said.
The researchers said the parent asteroid of Öst 65 may have been almost destroyed during its collision with the progenitor of the L-type chondrites, which could explain why this kind of meteorite was previously not discovered on Earth.
"This is the first documented example of an extinct meteorite — that is, a type of meteorite that no longer falls on Earth today," Schmitz said. "We knew of extinct animals, and it has been speculated that there is something like extinct meteorites, but this is the first one found."
The findings suggest that the meteorites largely found on Earth today may not give a full picture of the kinds of bodies in the asteroid belt more than 500 million years ago, or in the nebula cloud of gas and dust that gave birth to the solar system about 4.6 billion years ago.
"We base our view of how the solar system formed and evolved on the meteorites that fall on Earth today," Schmitz said. "If these meteorites are not representative of what has been falling on Earth in the past, we have to take that into consideration when reconstructing how the original nebula condensed into solid planets and asteroids."
Future research may discover other classes of extinct meteorites, the researchers said.

A jaw-dropping new photo shows a probable alien planet orbiting a star that lies 1,200 light-years from Earth.
The potential planet appears as a brownish dot to the left of the bright bluish-white star CVSO 30 in the newly released image, which was captured by the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope in Chile.
To appreciate just how fantastic it is to have a direct image of this candidate world, consider that CVSO 30 is about 280 times farther away from Earth than is Alpha Centauri, the star system nearest to our own. [Alien Planet Quiz: Are You an Exoplanet Expert?]
And remember also that 1 light-year is about 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion kilometers). So the newly photographed world, known provisionally as CVSO 30c, is about 7 quadrillion miles (11 quadrillion km) away (in the direction of the constellation Orion, for what it's worth).
CVSO 30c remains a candidate planet, awaiting confirmation by follow-up observations or analysis. If it does indeed exist, the planet circles the star at a whopping distance of 660 astronomical units (AU), completing one orbit every 27,000 years, researchers said. (One AU is the Earth-sun distance — about 93 million miles, or 150 million km).
Astronomers spotted another planet candidate, CVSO 30b, around the same star back in 2012 via the "transit method," which looks for the tiny brightness dips caused when orbiting planets cross their host stars' faces.
Both potential alien worlds are gas giants, like Jupiter and Saturn. But they occupy very different spaces; CVSO 30b, if it exists, completes one orbit every 11 hours and lies just 0.008 AU from the star, astronomers said.
Scientists Say This Planet Could Have Suitable Conditions To Sustain Life
"If it is confirmed that CVSO 30c orbits CVSO 30, this would be the first star system to host both a close-in exoplanet detected by the transit method and a far-out exoplanet detected by direct imaging," ESO representatives wrote in a description of the new image.
"Astronomers are still exploring how such an exotic system came to form in such a short timeframe, as the star is only 2.5 million years old; it is possible that the two planets interacted at some point in the past, scattering off one another and settling in their current extreme orbits," they added.
Direct imaging has been used to discover just a handful of alien planets to date. (Most of the 3,300-odd confirmed alien worlds have been found via the transit method, by NASA's Kepler space telescope.) But direct imaging promises to be more productive in the near future as technology improves, and may even provide the first convincing evidence of alien life, some astronomers have said.
The study reporting the detection of CVSO 30c — which relied on observations by the Keck Observatory in Hawaii and the Calar Alto Observatory in Spain in addition to the Very Large Telescope (VLT) — has been accepted for publication in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. You can read it online for free here: http://www.eso.org/public/archives/releases/sciencepapers/potw1624/potw1624a.pdf
The VLT, part of ESO's Paranal Observatory, consists of four individual telescopes, each of which has a main mirror that's 26.9 feet (8.2 meters) wide.
The incredible images of Unidentified Flying Objects in the Arctic originated from the USS Trepang, SSN 674 in March 1971.
The following case was made available thanks to John Greenewald from “The Black Vault” who in turn received the incredible images from researcher Alex Mistretta.
The photos here displayed are evidence of a “close encounter” between forces of the United States Navy and Unidentified Flying Objects on the “edge” of the Arctic Ocean in March 1971.
These images were supposedly taken in March 1971 from a United States Submarine, the USS Trepang (SSN-674), a Sturgeon-class attack submarine.
The official location where the sighting occurred was between Iceland and Jan Mayen island in the Atlantic Ocean. (Jan Mayen belongs to Norway, and is only inhabited by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Norwegian military.)
The UFO sighting occurred by accident as the military was in the region on a routine joint military and “scientific” expedition. According to reports, the officer who initially spotted the Unidentified Flying Object was John Kilika using the periscope.
So after looking at the images what are your thoughts? When I first looked at the images I was shocked. I have seen thousands of images of alleged UFOs throughout the years while some of them cannot be explained in any way, some others are certainly fabricated images.
The images made available by Alex Mistretta have certainly puzzled me and seem authentic. Yet, they seem to resemble the movie “Battleship” at the moment the giant alien ships which were submerged under the ocean, come out underneath the ocean and confront the military.
The USS Trepang sighting will surely become one of the best recorded UFO sightings in history.
Let us know what you think about these images, do you think they are really depicting extraterrestrial vehicles? Or is it possible that another explanation, more “human” can be attributed?

Was There a Great UFO Battle Over Sweden in 1665?
Was There a Great UFO Battle Over Sweden in 1665?
This historic account from 1689 tells about a massive UFO sighting that took place over Sweden. People witnessed a great battle in the sky and afterwards they fell sick in mysterious circumstances.
Sightings of paranormal phenomena are not so unusual as the term might suggest. Our vast imagination casts its reflection onto anything new we came across, to ease our perception over its nature and definition, so we can explain it to ourselves and the others.
But some things are unexpectedly more staggering and plainly inexplicable. Such is the case of one of the most intriguing UFO sightings ever recorded.
In the noon of April 8, 1665, in Barhofft, Sweeden (now in Germany), several fishermen witnessed one of the most vivid and active displays of UFO phenomena: ships in the sky battling one another, followed in the end by the appearance of a dark hovering object.
This event was marked in the historic annals by Erasmus Francisci in 1689 in “Der wunder-reiche Ueberzug unserer Neider-Welt/Oder Erd-umgebende” (translated as “the beautifully – rich covering of our world / or earth-surrounding”), after gathering sufficient relevant reports related to the so-called UFO battle.
“After a while out of the sky came a flat round form, like a plate, looking like the big hat of a man… Its color was that of the darkening moon, and it hovered right over the Church of St. Nicolai. There it remained stationary until the evening. The fishermen, worried to death, didn’t want to look further at the spectacle and buried their faces in their hands. On the following days, they fell sick with trembling all over and pain in head and limbs,” wrote Erasmus Francisci in “Der wunder-reiche Ueberzug unserer Nider-Welt/Oder Erd-umgebende” in 1689
The fishermen’s illness was linked to the UFO battle since no other causes were determined, with any means of diagnosis lacking in this particular case. Although the event happened centuries ago, Chris Aubeck and Martin Shough decided to carry on the discontinued investigations and unravel the mistery once and for all, from a scientific perspective.
Martin Shough is a research associate for the NARCAP (National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena) and Chris Aubeck is the founder of the Magonia Exchange historical research group. Chris Aubeck can be considered a very reliable source and an authority in the field of UFOs as cultural history, also being known as a prolific writer on this subject.
Their research project regarding the alleged 1665 UFO battle started with the first reasonable explanations for the phenomenon, conducting the investigation with a more rational and scientifical approach. For instance, after meticulous calculations of the sun’s angle, they ruled out the possibility of an ice halo that would substantially contribute to the massive optical illusion.
Taking into account the episode took place in a maritime environment, the researchers consider the sighting to be most likely the result of a natural phenomenon that occurs from a distance, above the horizon at an exact conjunction of thermal layers in the air. In the right conditions, the horizon can display a surrealistic dynamic image, a Fata Morgana effect, only this time it happened at a higher distance in the sky, for a longer period of time. Besides, the Fata Morgana couldn’t have cast a hat-shaped object. Science- 0, UFO- 3.
These are the critical factors that rise even in the most skeptical minds, the slight possibility of this event being an actual UFO manifestation leaving more than enough room for those who truly believe, making a firm denial of extraterrestrial activity impossible.
Other unshakable minds refuse to accept this sighting as proof of UFOs’ millennial existence on Earth, and blame this unusual phenomenon on a mere flock of birds that merged into a pattern ressembling a warship. It still doesn’t explain the sighting of the dark round object.
Still, mirage or not, this extremely tricky and extremely vivid visual experience took the unaware fishermen by surprise, thus increasing the shocking experience from an emotional state up to the point of physical sickness.
UFO Hovering Over Mount Shasta Surprised by Google Street View Cameras
UFO Hovering Over Mount Shasta Surprised by Google Street View Cameras
The recent discovery of what appears to be a UFO above the legendary Mount Shasta has reinforced the belief that something mysterious is happening in the area. The odd occurrence appeared on Google Street View and caused an unprecedented stir inside the UFO community, since the place of the sighting is renowned for its richness in unexplained aerial phenomenon.
Mount Shasta in California is the central point of a large number of local legends. People say strange activity occurs beneath the mountain due to the existence of a secret and massive alien outpost kept away from sight deep inside the crust of the earth.
Native Americans in the area tell stories of the Great Spirit Chief Skell who came from the sky and never really ascended back, but instead he remains hidden underneath the mountain even today. In more recent years, it was speculated that beneath Mount Shasta continues to exist a city established by survivors from the lost continent of Lemuria.
As the legend goes, British prospector J.C. Brown discovered the underground city in 1904. While looking for gold, he stumbled into a cave that spiraled down for 11 miles and eventually led to the city of Talos. Brown presumably found giant mummies, gold, weapons and shields but was never heard from again once he decided to carry an expedition to the heart of the mountain.
During the last few decades, Mount Shasta shared the reputation of one of the “few global power centers” and plays an important role within the New Age movement. The UFO surprised here only confirms the intense activity in aerial phenomenon depicted by the local inhabitants of the area.
Hypothesis on the mysterious object varies. The most skeptics consider the UFO to be nothing more than a raindrop on the lens of the camera, and others have even suggested that it could be a smashed bug. However, the elucidating hypothesis might be the one involving a glider, considering that the margins of the object are curved, and from afar it seems like a piece of cloth in the wind.
But further analysis indicate the glider scenario might not be the case either. After zooming in on the picture, its full spherical form is revealed. Its smooth design points towards a refined mix of metals that’s constituting the outer carcass of the object.
Upon moving the camera throughout the sky resort, the UFO is no longer visible. Was this caused by a simple glitch, or is it more to it than meets the eye?
According to some UFO enthusiasts, the above phenomenon is clear evidence of UFOs on our planet. Their beliefs are based on the fact that other photos don’t show the craft anymore, proving that it traveled at an extreme speed compared to the Google car. That, and Mount Shasta, a renowned place where numerous UFO sightings occur on a regular basis.
Are there really signs of activity springing from beneath the mountain? If so, can the UFO surprised by the Google Street View camera be somehow related to this secret activity?
“De wereld die je waarneemt met je zintuigen bestaat hoogstwaarschijnlijk niet”
“De wereld die je waarneemt met je zintuigen bestaat hoogstwaarschijnlijk niet”
Is onze werkelijkheid niets meer dan een extreem realistische computersimulatie? Begin deze maand zei ondernemer Elon Musk, de baas van Tesla en ruimtevaartbedrijf SpaceX, tijdens een technologieconferentie in Californië dat de wereld die je waarneemt met je zintuigen hoogstwaarschijnlijk niet bestaat.
Volgens Musk is de kans minder dan één op een miljard dat we de ‘echte’ werkelijkheid zien. Omdat er waarschijnlijk heel veel beschavingen in ons universum leven, heeft een aanzienlijk deel daarvan al het punt bereikt waarop ze zeer realistische simulaties kunnen creëren, zo is zijn gedachte. De kans is dus groot dat we in één van die simulaties leven.
Matrix
Al meer dan 2000 jaar wordt gespeeld met de gedachte dat wat wij waarnemen niet de werkelijkheid is. Plato schreef al dat we slechts een afspiegeling zien van de werkelijkheid, een idee dat hij inzichtelijk maakte met zijn allegorie van de grot.
En in de scienfictionhit The Matrix staat de mens in dienst van machines, maar zijn ze zich daarvan niet bewust omdat zij alleen een gesimuleerde realiteit zien.
Een soort Sims gemaakt door aliens
Miljoenen spelers spelen tegelijkertijd realistische 3D-games waarin ze elkaar tegen het lijf kunnen lopen. Binnenkort komen daar virtual reality en augmented reality bij.
Als de ontwikkeling in dit tempo doorgaat, hebben we over 1000 jaar spellen waarin er geen onderscheid meer is tussen echt en nep. Misschien leven we wel in een soort Sims gemaakt door aliens.
Moeilijk te weerleggen
Ook de Belgische natuurkundige Thomas Hertog stelt vast dat de zogeheten simulatiehypothese moeilijk te weerleggen valt. “We hebben geen enkele aanwijzing dat een fysische realiteit moet beantwoorden aan onze wiskundige modellen,” zegt hij.
Het is niet ondenkbaar om een universum te simuleren, aldus Hertog. Hij merkt op dat we de vorming van een sterrenstelsel al in detail kunnen simuleren.
Planeet X, Nibiru? Wetenschappers: “Ons zonnestelsel bevat 10 of zelfs nog meer planeten”
Planeet X, Nibiru? Wetenschappers: “Ons zonnestelsel bevat 10 of zelfs nog meer planeten”
Ons zonnestelsel bevat mogelijk 10, 11 of nog meer planeten, zo hebben wetenschappers voorspeld aan de hand van nieuwe computermodellen. De modellen bevatten gegevens die hebben geleid tot de ontdekking van Planeet Negen.
In januari voorspelden astronomen professor Konstantin Batygin en professor Mike Brown van het California Institute of Technology het bestaan van een negende planeet nadat ze hadden ontdekt dat 13 objecten in de Kuipergordel als een soort schaapskudde bijeen werden gedreven door een enorm object.
Wetenschappers van de Cambridge University en Spaanse onderzoekers hebben nu ontdekt dat de objecten mogelijk door meer dan één verre planeet worden beïnvloed. Sverre Aarseth van Cambridge en astronomen Carlos en Raúl de la Fuente Marcos vermoeden dat Planeet Negen niet alleen staat.
Zelfs nog meer
“We denken dat naast Planeet Negen ook nog een Planeet Tien en zelfs nog meer [planeten] bestaan,” zei Carlos de la Fuente Marcos. De studie is gepubliceerd in het tijdschrift Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Onderzoeker Alexander Mustill van de Universiteit van Lund in Zweden zei dat de nieuwe planeet mogelijk van buiten het zonnestelsel is gekomen en dus een exoplaneet zou kunnen zijn. Hij denkt dat onze zon deze planeet 4,5 miljard jaar geleden heeft ‘gestolen’ van een naburige ster.
Naarstig op zoek
Wetenschappers vermoeden dat Planeet Negen 10 keer zo zwaar is als de aarde en tussen de 10.000 en 20.000 jaar doet over een rondje om de zon. Astronomen zijn naarstig op zoek naar de planeet, die heel erg groot zou zijn en alleen met de grootste telescopen gespot zou kunnen worden.
Pluto stond oorspronkelijk te boek als de negende planeet, maar werd in 2006 gedegradeerdtot gewone dwergplaneet.
An Illinois witness at Batavia reported watching and videotaping a square or rectangle-shaped UFO silently crossing the sky about 8:50 p.m. on June 5, 2016, according to testimony from Case 76835 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and his two children, ages 17 and 20, had just joked about it being a perfect evening to see a UFO as they were pulling away from a Chili’s restaurant parking lot.
“I looked up and saw a light,” the witness stated.“I continued to joke with them and said, ‘Look there, a UFO…hahahaha,’ but at the time it was only that – a joke.”

The three continued to watch the object as it rapidly started to approach them.
“Then the light started to dim out and we could see a dark form over it. My son then started to literally freak out. That thing came about 300 meters toward us and it was a dark square with rounded corners thing, cruising the sky, no sound whatsoever.”

The witness believes the video does not completely capture the event well.
“The video doesn’t reflect even 10 percent of the clarity of the sighting. Unfortunately phone cameras are horrible, especially at dark. But it was so clear to us. It seemed to be the size of a car just cruising there, with almost the same color of the background. My son is still shaking. He never believed in anything paranormal.”

WOW!!! FATHER & SON UFO HUNTERS [AMAZING PROOF] WAIT TELL YOU SEE THIS! 2016
UFO EVIDENCE Quote From Eye Witness Peter “Hi, after my son has taken 4 photos in last march of a vessel crossing the field near the farm, we bought better equipment.
On June 4th 11pm we went on a nearby hill and mounted our cameras and tripods | We saw many moving lights which were not passing planes | The following images (and later video) were taken by me with a Canon Powershot G5X and a Rollei ball head tripod on a hilltop in the Rhine Lahn county in Germany | We took RAW photos of a partly translucent Mothership and 4 other different ship types | Disturbing | Such vessels we have never seen before in TV, movies or pictures.
Here is the Video we have put together from the RAW images:

EINDELIJK ANTWOORD OP WAAROM ER ZOVEEL VLIEGTUIGEN NEERSTORTEN...
EINDELIJK ANTWOORD OP WAAROM ER ZOVEEL VLIEGTUIGEN NEERSTORTEN...
Vorige maand verdween vlucht MS804 van Egyptair plotseling van de radar, terwijl het zicht helder was en er geen problemen door de bemanning waren gemeld.
Als oorzaak wordt een bomaanslag aangewezen, maar een mogelijk andere, wie weet de werkelijke, reden zorgt voor nog meer levensgevaarlijke toestanden in de luchtvaart.
Op 19 mei verdween vlucht MS804 plotseling van de radar tijdens het laatste deel van de vlucht tussen Parijs en de Egyptische hoofdstad Cairo.
Er was geen enkele aanleiding voor dit toestel om neer te storten. Het weer was helder, er waren geen problemen gemeld door de bemanning, dus een technische mankement leek daardoor zo goed als uitgesloten.
Het meest waarschijnlijke scenario was dan ook, zoals wij eerder schreven, een terroristische bomaanslag.
Mogelijk is er echter een andere verklaring en die wijst naar de naderende planeet Nibiru als hoofdschuldige aan dit ongeluk.
Zij stellen al jaren dat de komst van de planeet verantwoordelijk is voor plotselinge heftige elektromagnetische pulsen richting aarde die dan allerlei vreemde effecten kunnen veroorzaken zoals onder andere te zien op het volgende plaatje:
Los van mooie beelden in de lucht veroorzaken deze verstoringen, die EMP's worden genoemd, ook voor andere grote problemen.
Een EMP is een elektromagnetische puls. Zo'n puls bestaat uit een vaak zeer krachtig elektromagnetische straling.
Het zijn deze elektromagnetische pulsen die rampzalig kunnen zijn voor onder andere de luchtvaart. In de volgende video legt Nancy uit hoe deze EMP golven ontstaan.
En volgens Nancy is vlucht MS804 van Egyptair niet door een bom naar beneden gekomen, maar door een EMP.
Zij stelt dat identiek aan eerdere rampen, ook hier een bomscenario is gebruikt als uitleg, omdat wanneer mensen de waarheid zouden weten er niemand meer in een vliegtuig zou stappen.
Voor iedere ramp wordt gezocht naar een schuldige of oorzaak zodat iedereen weer rustig kan verder slapen.
Net zoals de ramp met het Germanwings toestel werd toegeschreven aan een zelfmoordgezagvoerder en de piloten van de verdwenen vlucht MH370 ook de schuld kregen van het laten verdwijnen van hun toestel. De verdwijning van Air France vlucht AF447 in 2009 werd toegeschreven aan de weersomstandigheden, maar ook dat was niet de werkelijke toedracht. Wat in het geval van dat toestel nergens wordt vermeldt is dat het complete elektronische systeem van het toestel plat ging.
Die informatie is verkregen via het ACARS systeem. (Het Aircraft Communications and Reporting System (ACARS) is een digitale vorm van radiocommunicatie tussen vliegtuigen en grondstations. Het is een datalink. ACARS is een alternatief voor spraakverbindingen.)
Vandaag de dag is het de gewoonte om ieder vliegtuig dat om onverklaarbare reden uit de lucht naar beneden stort, het predicaat bomaanslag mee te geven.
Zo ook vlucht MS804.
Een kenmerk dat alle toestellen gemeen hebben die de laatste jaren met onverklaarbare oorzaak zijn neergestort of verdwenen, is dat ze allemaal opereren via de zogenaamde fly-by-wire technieken.
Fly-by-wire-technologie is het gebruik van elektronische signalen om de stuurcommando's van een stuurorgaan in de cockpit van een vliegtuig door te geven aan de actuatoren van de stuurvlakken. Ook kenmerkend voor een fly-by-wiresysteem is dat ook een computer in het systeem is opgenomen en dat gebruik wordt gemaakt van sensoren voor de terugkoppeling. In een traditioneel systeem verzorgt een persoon (de vlieger) alle sturing en de terugkoppeling (seat of his/her pants). Een vergelijkbare term voor voertuigen is drive-by-wire.
Overal worden de voordelen van fly-by-wire opgehemeld. Als je in de Wikipedia kijkt, zie je alleen woorden zoals: het voordeel is dit of dat of het voordeel is zus of zo. Het is pas als je in de Wikipedia voor kinderen kijkt dat je een essentieel nadeel tegenkomt:
Het bekendste nadeel is, ondanks alle reserve-systemen, stroomuitval. Omdat Fly-By-Wire gestuurd wordt met computers, die elektriciteit nodig hebben, is een complete stroomuitval een grote bedreiging. Het vliegtuig zal volledig onbestuurbaar worden.
Bij vlucht MS804 is er nog iets vreemds dat opvalt:
Het vliegtuig slingerde onderweg naar beneden. Eerst 90 graden naar links en vervolgens een volledige 180 graden naar rechts. Dit is vreemd voor een vliegtuig dat door een bom uit elkaar zou zijn gereten. Wat dan overblijft zijn honderdduizenden kleine stukjes en niet een vliegtuig wat heen en weer beweegt.
Er zijn nog meer aanwijzingen dat we hier niet met een bom te maken hebben. Het al eerder genoemde ACARS systeem registreerde drie minuten voor de crash een foutmelding van een aantal sensoren. Onder andere de rooksensoren, maar ook andere maakten drie minuten lang melding dat er iets niet goed was. Toen opeens stopte alle communicatie met het vliegtuig, maar het was daarna nog wel zeven minuten lang zichtbaar op de radar. Allemaal tekenen dat we hier niet met een bom te maken hebben.
Een EMP is een veel logischere verklaring voor wat er is gebeurd met deze vlucht en ook die anderen.
Een EMP kan alle systemen in dergelijke vliegtuigen plat leggen en het kan voor verstoringen zorgen op ieder denkbaar elektronisch gebied. De radio werkt niet meer, de motoren, de mogelijkheden van de piloten om het vliegtuig te kunnen besturen. Alles stopt plotseling.
Er kunnen explosies in de motoren ontstaan omdat de bladen van de jet motoren opeens stoppen en er zich nog brandbare kerosine in de motoren bevindt die geen kant meer op kan, waardoor je eerst aan de ene kant van het vliegtuig en vervolgens aan de andere een explosie kunt krijgen. Iets wat bewegingen op de radar zou laten zien zoals met vlucht MS804.
Ook verklaart dit waarom er geen noodsignaal is uitgezonden door de bemanning. Het is dan ook niet voor niets dat al dit soort ongelukken gebeuren met fly-by-wire toestellen.
De belangen van de industrie zijn zoals gewoonlijk groter dan de veiligheid van burgers. Wanneer bekend wordt bij het grote publiek dat met de nadering van de planeet Nibiru er zich meer en meer EMP situaties voor zullen doen, stapt niemand meer in een fly-by-wire vliegtuig en lijdt de industrie een enorme schade.
In de navolgende toestellen kun je fly-by-wire verwachten:
Fly-by-wire wordt sinds de F-16 toegepast in gevechtsvliegtuigen en is voor het eerst in lijnvliegtuigen toegepast bij de Concorde. Airbus gebruikt het in de A320, de A330, de A340, de A350 en de A380. Boeing gebruikt het systeem in de B777 en de B787. Ook het Russische widebodyvliegtuig Il-96 en de populaire Russische Soechoj Superjet 100 maken er gebruik van.
Je moet dan ook niet vreemd opkijken als zich in de nabije toekomst meer ongelukken voordoen waarbij vliegtuigen op mysterieuze wijze van de radarschermen verdwijnen.
Giant UFO Near Jupiter Seen Through Telescope for 10 Minutes! Video, March 23, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Giant UFO Near Jupiter Seen Through Telescope for 10 Minutes! Video, March 23, 2016, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: March 23, 2016 Location of sighting: Near Jupiter This is some amazing footage of a giant UFO moving past Jupiter back in March.TakeBackSpace TV was using a 8" Nexstar telescope with a Sony a6000 camera. Its a nice set up and as you see, it self tracks really steady. This UFO is almost in focus and look really big. Jupiter has 67 known moons, and three of the biggest are visible near Jupiter. This UFO looks to be about the size of any one of those moons. Each is about 25% that of Earth...thats one big UFO. Also did you notice that the UFO gets brighter, the closer it got to Jupiter? That means its really close to Jupiter, within its orbit.
Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com TakeBackSpace TVstates: Hey everyone! I finally got around to editing this capture from last month. I could not match it up with satellite transits online, but that doesn't mean it's not a high altitude known object. I personally don't know what it is, but it seems like it gets brighter (possibly reflecting light) and dimmer in certain parts. There are parts that are just a dot on the screen, but I wanted to provide the full capture as best I could. Jump to the last minute for the sped up portion if you want, but I encourage you to enjoy the whole experience.
Today in the newest batch of Mars Curiosity rover photos I found a worm in the microscopic camera. This same camera took two photos just 18 minutes apart. The first camera shows no worm, but a place the worm is buried. The second photo 18 minutes later of the same location shows the worm had crawled out.
How can this be? NASA has not yet announced any life ever found on Mars and yet this is the second worm I have found in only a few months. The funny thing about both the worms...they look the same! They do, and NASA had to have seen them, but still they haven't said a single word. So, tell me why is NASA not responding about these discoveries? Why is it so bad for the public to know that life still exists on Mars? Is NASA really afraid of a little worm on Mars causing chaotic anarchy across Earth?
Look, I will tweet to NASA about this and also Obama and the Secretary General of the United Nations. I can only make them aware of the discoveries, but they may not care.
Here is a great redo of one of the most amazing faces ever found. A giant skull on a mountain. Also in this photo are a lot of signs of broken cornerstones, walls, and other parts of structures strewn about. Clearly this location was once a thriving community. Great work by Paranormal Crucible at retouching it to make it more clear, and to see what it might have looked like when it was new. But what is this material they used to make their buildings, heads and such? It looks like its a simple mix of the blueish sand found on Mars, mixed with some kind of cement mixture to give it lasting strength. Much how we make cement for buildings and sidewalks. Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com
Paranormal Cruciblestates: I decided to take a second look at this artifact and do a little more enhancing and re-building to get a better idea of what it actually was. It is an elongated skull, possibly thousands of years old in my opinion. I also mirrored the image and discovered a possible skull encrusted altar with a pyramid either side, and a possible alien head-dress. I will be enhancing the mirrored image in a few days and will either create a video report on it or i will post the image on my facebook page, so far its very interesting. Thanxx
60 Meter Giant Squid Found On Google Earth, The Legends Are Real! June 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
60 Meter Giant Squid Found On Google Earth, The Legends Are Real! June 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 9, 2016
Location of sighting: Near Deception Island
This looks like the Kraken. I used Google ruler and it says this is 30 meters (100 feet) from head to end, but the end looks like just the mid area of a giant squid, which means it could be 60+ meters long with tentacles. That sounds like a Kraken to me. Maybe the stories about the giant monster of the deep are all true. A lot of storers are based on truths. I think we found the Kraken.
No idea what this is but it's circulating a few places right now and when I saw it, it IMMEDIATELY made me think of a Plesiosaur fin. Was hard to see from the images I was seeing so I went there on my own, to Google Earth. Here's what I found and how you get there. That's one massive disturbance in the ocean down there and who knows what really caused it. Maybe now we know the source of The Bloop! Go there on Google Earth and form your own opinion.

Jetpacks are One Step Closer to Becoming Standard for U.S. Soldiers
Jetpacks are One Step Closer to Becoming Standard for U.S. Soldiers
Futurism M.A
IN BRIEF
Jetpack Aviation, the company that made the JB 9, has revealed to the Wall Street Journal that they are in talks with the U.S. military to further develop their jetpack technology.
ROCKET MEN
Back in 2015, the world was given a real treat as the first true jetpack was unveiled. More interesting, however, is that the innovation drew attention from the U.S. Military.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Jetpack Aviation is in talks with U.S. special forces for the development of a militaristic jetpack. The WSJ said that the company now has a research and development agreement with the U.S. Special Operations Command for the development of a four-turbine jetpack that will lift twice the weight as current models, and require twice the fuel.
The company’s current version of the jetpack is the JB9. In development for about 10 years and costing around $10 million, it is an 85-pound aluminum and carbon-fiber machine that burns 11 gallons of jet fuel for a 10-minute flight.
Further improvements to the JB 9 could include rocket-propelled parachutes, for use during unscheduled landings. For this, the nine-person firm is now seeking a $2-$5 million investment. It hopes to bring its jetpack to market for about $250,000 a piece.
A CLUTTERED FIELD
While Jetpack Aviation has certainly made strides in the field, it is far from the only player. The one closest to market is the Martin Jetpack, produced by Martin Aircraft Co. Ltd. produced in New Zealand. While it bends some of the jetpack rules by having the pilot strap himself into the machine, it has a maximum flight time of 30 minutes and a price tag of at least $250,000.
Meanwhile, former Swiss Army fighter pilot Yves “Jetman” Rossy has unveiled his “jetwing,” a 7-foot carbon-fiber wing with four small jet engines. It can reach 322 kph (200 mph) and fly for about 10 minutes. While French jet-ski champion, Franky Zapata, has set the Guinness world record for “farthest flight by hoverboard,” using the Flyboard Air, a hoverboard that runs on jet fuel.
Even in the most fantastical innovations do we see capitalism work its way to give us, the consumers, the best-finished product.
A study by a Harvard graduate student hints at the existence of ancient planets richer in carbon than normal planets, which bodes well for the possibility of life in the early universe.
TAR-BLACK PLANETS
The first potentially habitable planets in the universe may have had a very different composition from our Earth. A new study explores the possibility that a class of carbon-rich, “anemic stars” host tar-black, carbon planets, which form as carbon dust clumps together into masses. Researchers believe this will help us figure out how the early universe started— before supernovae seeded the universe with heavy elements.
The research proposes that these planets were filled with diamond, carbon, and graphite, and can be distinguished by identifying a certain class of stars suspected of hosting them.
These host stars are a rare class of old stars that have very little iron—around 100,000 times less than that of our Sun—known as carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars. These objects have more carbon content than other stars of their age, and the carbon dust around them can develop into carbon-rich planets within the CEMP star’s protoplanetary disk.
The black, extremely low-albedo surface of a carbon planet.
“These stars are fossils from the young universe,” explains Avi Loeb, PhD thesis advisor of Natalie Mashian, the research student at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who led the study. “By studying them, we can look at how planets, and possibly life in the universe, got started.”
“We have good reason to believe that alien life will be carbon-based, like life on Earth, so this also bodes well for the possibility of life in the early universe,” Mashian adds.

THE SEARCH IS ON
It would be difficult, however, to tell these unusual planets apart visually. But there’s one surefire method: Testing their atmospheres for methane and carbon monoxide, compounds that such planets should have in abundance.
While there is no definitive proof yet that these planets exist, the transit technique could be used to detect potential CEMP stars, which would hopefully lead astronomers to the discovery of these unusual planets.
After all, weirder things have been found lurking out in the universe of late. “We’ll never know if they exist unless we look,” says Mashian.
New Research Shows Skin Cells “Walking” To Wound Sites
New Research Shows Skin Cells “Walking” To Wound Sites
Washington State University
IN BRIEF
New research from Washington State University shows that skin cells "walk" when a wound needs to be repaired.
Given how much we already know about human biology, it is astounding what we are still learning about our own bodies. Take, for example, skin. We have been using skin cells to do all kinds of amazing things, like make other organs and cells, but up until now, we never saw them walk.
But apparently, that’s what research from Washington State University is showing us (though to be honest, it looks a little more like shuffling to me) The study, published in FASEB Journal,shows that skins cells will alter the proteins holding them in place and move to repair a wound.
Normal skin cells are held in place by contact with surrounding cells and proteins that bind them to underlying connective tissue. The researchers saw how cells in the epidermis will dissolve the glue that binds them and reuse some of the proteins to move to seal a wound site. The cells will also grow more cells to form new, healed skin.
While the process behind it will still need further study, being able to manipulate the phenomenon will mean better wound healing, especially for the elderly and diabetics.
Developments and improvements in the process and the materials in the field of 3D printing have taken up applications in different sectors. 3D printing industry applications range from aerospace design to health care. However, one application that will put a smile on your face is helping injured animals.
A team of doctors in Sao Paulo has come together because of their common love for science and animals. The team, known as ‘Animal Avengers,’ has successfully reconstructed artificial beaks for three toucans, a parrot, and a goose. They have designed the first ever titanium prosthetic pecker for a Macaw and built a brand new plastic-based replacement hull for a traumatized tortoise.
A tortoise whose shell was completely burnt in a bush fire was fighting for its life when Animal Avengers came to his rescue. The reptile named Freddy is the world’s first turtle with a 3D-printed prosthetic shell.
The team explained that this task was very difficult. Graphic designer Cicero Moraes explained the process: “It took about 40 photos [to build a model and reconstruct the shell]. We took a healthy animal, took the same 40 photos, reconstructed that animal in 3D and put it into the computer.”
To create the complete shell, the design was printed out with the help of a desktop printer in four individual pieces using a low-cost corn-derived material. These four pieces were later slotted together like a jigsaw puzzle. It took 50 hours to print a single piece.
