Canadian Survey Reveals An Increased Number Of UFO Sighting Reports
Canadian Survey Reveals An Increased Number Of UFO Sighting Reports
Quebec is on top of the list with the most sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), according to the 2015 Canadian UFO Survey.
Winnipeg-based Ufology Research conducted the survey and released the result on Monday. It says that the year 2015 had the second-largest number of sightings in the last 30 years with 1,267. Second only to a whopping 1,981 sightings in 2012, which was also the alleged year of the end of the world based on the Mayan calendar.
Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta reported more sightings in 2015 than the year before, but Quebec comprises for around 35 per cent of all reports last year. The number of reported sightings in Quebec was way up from previous years when it was only responsible for between five and fifteen percent.
Montreal has 97 reports; Toronto, 78; Vancouver, 69 and Edmonton with just 36 sightings.
The survey reveals that most sightings last about 16 minutes and over 50 percent of the reports were of simple lights in the sky.
The research noted that UFO sighting reports remain high because of several reasons, including better access to reporting sightings, more secret military flights, or the downturn of the economy that causes people to look upward for assistance.
The study also admitted that no concrete evidence of the involvement of extraterrestrial contact of some UFO cases. The continued increase of reported UFO sightings from the public suggests that further examination of the phenomenon by physical, medical and social scientists is needed.
The “Great Flood” caused by an enormous space cloud?
The “Great Flood” caused by an enormous space cloud?
I am pretty sure the Great Flood did happen. While it is popularized as a Christian story in English speaking countries, the Great Flood transcends almost every single culture around the world. So I don’t doubt it happened. But the main issue is where did the water come from? Most of theories I have seen require bending the rules of the observable reality that we live in.
Back in 2011 scientists had discovered a massive cloud of water deep in space.
So, what if as one point one of these clouds passed through our solar system? It would probably take while to get here maybe a couple hundred years. But during that time a couple hundred years 6-7 generations word of mouth was the only real way to pass history. So for them 2 or 3 generations is all it would take to be “forever”.
During that time the Suns reflection and heat in the atmosphere would make it appear to be sparkling water in the sky, which could explain the firmament.
Once the cloud got near Earth and we started passing through it, the frozen water would melt in the atmosphere and completely saturate the air, it would then start raining.
And it would not be localized like what we see now, it would be entire Earth being rained on for an extended period of time. All that water would rush out to the ocean and anything near rivers or oceans, like a human population for example, would be washed out to sea and buried by all the sediments picked up from higher elevation.
Think of the world as one big mud slide. The people living in the higher elevations would not be as threatened by the flooding. And so the more advanced civilization would be destroyed and only the more simple societies in the highlands would be left, hence a reset.
Once this space cloud passed, things would settle down and Earth would have a lot more water content.
Large cloaked UFO spotted over the Pacific Ocean ( VIDEO )
Large cloaked UFO spotted over the Pacific Ocean( VIDEO )
The Canada-France-Hawaii 3.6 meter optical/infrared telescope a top the summit of Mauna Kea, a 4200 meter, dormant volcano located on the island of Hawaii spotted a large unknown comet-like object over the Pacific Ocean on June 25, 2016.
MrMBB333 who monitors the recorded CFH data frequently says that he has never seen anything quite like this object. It resembles a comet but it looks like something else, like some kind of cloaked UFO of some sort.
There is strong evidence that UFOs, while flying low enough to be seen from the ground, do cloak themselves with clouds which they apparently generate and mists as camouflage to keep themselves hidden from the people.
It is also said that UFOs which travel dimensional produce a cloud of vapor or moisture in traversing from there to here.
About the strange object above the Pacific Ocean, it certainly doesn’t fit any natural classification of a comet, meteor or cloud. It’s more likely an artificially generated object.
Airplane passenger captures strange blue light in the clouds (Video)
Airplane passenger captures strange blue light in the clouds (Video)
A new footage posted to YouTube on June 24, 2016 by user ModernGalaxy purporting to show a UFO being filmed from a plane window.
A powerful blue light from the window caught the attention of a passenger on board the jet airliner when he decided to film the strange phenomenon in the clouds.
As we know, anything that's filmed though a window can pick up any light or lights behind camera, but after a closer look at the object, this does not seem to be the case.
Although the sighting was filmed from an unknown location, it doesn’t seem to be fake or CGI. A reasonable explanation for this phenomenon could be a beacon located at the top of a mountain that emits a blinking shining light skyward unless the blue triangular light belongs to a flying object from unknown origin.
Gaat Marsrover Curiosity met eigen ogen stromend water op Mars zien?
Gaat Marsrover Curiosity met eigen ogen stromend water op Mars zien?

Er is mogelijk vloeibaar water te vinden op het oppervlak van Mars. En NASA speelt met de gedachte om Curiosity erop af te sturen.
Zo af en toe verschijnen op het oppervlak van Mars donkere strepen. Ze worden ook wel Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) genoemd en zijn alleen in de warmere seizoenen op de rode planeet te vinden. De ‘streepjes’ zijn vaak minder dan vijf meter breed en worden korter als de temperatuur op Mars daalt. Gaandeweg verdwijnen ze om – als de temperaturen stijgen – weer terug te keren. Aangenomen wordtdat de donkere strepen gevormd worden door zout, stromend water.

Curiosity Natuurlijk staan onderzoekers te springen om het water nader te bestuderen. En Marsrover Curiosity kan daar wel eens een sleutelrol in gaan spelen. De rover is op het moment bezig om Mount Sharp te beklimmen. En tijdens die beklimming zou de rover ook dichter in de buurt komen van twee hellingen waar deze donkere strepen wel eens gespot zijn. Curiosity zou de hellingen langdurig kunnen bestuderen om te zien of ze door de tijd heen veranderen en te achterhalen of de donkere strepen daadwerkelijk ontstaan door toedoen van water en niet door een ander (droog) verschijnsel.
Voorzichtig Klinkt als een prima plan. Maar NASA is bijzonder voorzichtig. “Het zijn niet alleen steile hellingen,” vertelt onderzoeker Jim Green. Er moet ook rekening gehouden worden met wat hij ‘planetaire bescherming’ noemt. “In andere woorden: hoe kunnen we zoeken naar sporen van leven zonder deze plekken te besmetten met bacteriën van de aarde?”
Gedijen op Mars Voor ruimtevaartuigen de aarde verlaten, worden ze gesteriliseerd: alle micro-organismen die op de ruimtevaartuigen huizen, worden gedood. Maar uitsluiten dat de ruimtevaartuigen op het moment van vertrek nog micro-organismen bevatten, is onmogelijk. Er is dus altijd een kans dat ook op Curiosity nog micro-organismen huizen. Natuurlijk is het leven op Mars – met onder meer extreme schommelingen in temperatuur – hard. Maar sommige micro-organismen kunnen zich – zeker als ze in kieren en gaten van Curiosity huizen – wellicht prima op de rode planeet redden. Het is natuurlijk niet de bedoeling dat deze micro-organismen ook op de rode planeet gaan gedijen, iets wat kan gebeuren als ze in een gebied terechtkomen met eigenschappen die gunstig zijn voor leven, zoals de aanwezigheid van water. De aardse bacteriën kunnen op Mars belangrijk bewijsmateriaal (voor de aanwezigheid van Martiaans leven) vernietigen of wetenschappers op het verkeerde been zetten doordat ze aangezien worden voor Martiaanse bacteriën.
Afweging Natuurlijk moeten dergelijke situaties voorkomen worden. En dus moet NASA goed nadenken alvorens deze Curiosity naar de donkere strepen stuurt. Hoe groot moet de afstand tussen Curiosity en de donkere strepen minimaal zijn om elk risico uit te sluiten? “Dat is de vraag die we al vroeg in het proces moeten beantwoorden,” stelt onderzoeker Catharine Conley. Ze stelt dat een kilometers grote afstand waarschijnlijk geen probleem is. “Maar als we veel dichterbij willen komen, moeten we op voorhand goed weten hoe groot de kans is dat aardse organismen van de rover komen zetten en dat vertelt ons dan hoe ver de rover (van de strepen, red.) weg moet blijven.”
Curiosity werd in 2011 gelanceerd en arriveerde in 2012 op Mars. Het belangrijkste doel van de rover? Vaststellen of Mars leefbaar is of dat ooit was. Ergens in de komende maanden zal moeten blijken of ook het bestuderen van de donkere strepen op Mars tot het takenpakket van de rover gaat behoren.
Pluto bezit waarschijnlijk een ondergrondse nog vloeibare oceaan
Pluto bezit waarschijnlijk een ondergrondse nog vloeibare oceaan
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De dwergplaneet is bedekt met ijs. Maar daaronder schuilt waarschijnlijk een oceaan die in ieder geval nog niet volledig bevroren is.
Tot die conclusie komen onderzoekers in het blad Geophysical Research Letters. Ze baseren zich onder meer op de laatste gegevens van ruimtesonde New Horizons.
Spannende dwergplaneet In juli vorig jaar scheerde ruimtesonde New Horizons langs Pluto en zijn manen. Al snel werd duidelijk dat de dwergplaneet allesbehalve saai was. Het oppervlak was bedekt met verschillende soorten ijs: water-, stikstof- en methaanijs. Bovendien ontdekten onderzoekers op de beelden die New Horizons van Pluto maakte talloze interessante tektonische kenmerken, waaronder kilometers lange en kilometers diepe breuken. Al snel concludeerden de onderzoekers dat het zeer aannemelijk was dat onder het ijzige oppervlak van de dwergplaneet een oceaan huisde. “Wat New Horizons ons liet zien, was dat er op Pluto tektonische kenmerken te vinden zijn die erop wijzen dat Pluto een periode van wereldwijde expansie heeft doorgemaakt. Een ondergrondse oceaan die langzaam bevroor zou zo’n soort expansie kunnen bewerkstelligen.”
Het ontstaan van een oceaan Onderzoekers denken dat de kern van Pluto ooit veel warmte producerende radioactieve elementen bevatte. Deze zorgden ervoor dat een deel van de ijzige korst die Pluto bedekt, smolt. Maar omdat Pluto ver van de zon verwijderd is, zou het een kwestie van tijd zijn voor die oceaan weer bevroor. En wanneer water bevriest, zet het uit. De ijzige korst moet dan ‘mee rekken’ en kan gaan scheuren. Het resultaat: breuken aan het oppervlak. En die zien we ook op Pluto.
Deels vloeibaar Pluto had dus waarschijnlijk ooit een oceaan en die is gaan bevriezen. Maar hoe staat het nu met die oceaan? Is deze nog steeds aan het bevriezen? Of is de oceaan miljarden jaren geleden al volledig bevroren? Over die vragen bogen onderzoekers van Brown University zich. Gewapend met een model en geüpdatete gegevens van New Horizons gingen ze na hoe het nu met de oceaan zit. En het model suggereert dat de oceaan onder het oppervlak van Pluto nog niet volledig bevroren is. Want wanneer de oceaan volledig bevroren zou zijn, zou het normale ijs waar deze uit bestaat – onder de enorme druk en lage temperatuur waar het binnenste van Pluto mee te maken heeft – snel veranderen in ijs II. Dit ijs heeft een compactere structuur en een oceaan gevuld met dit ijs heeft dus minder ruimte nodig. Een volledig bevroren ondergrondse oceaan zou dan ook niet leiden tot een wereldwijde expansie, maar tot een wereldwijde krimp. Maar: “We zien geen dingen op het oppervlak die we zouden verwachten als er sprake is van wereldwijde krimp,” vertelt onderzoeker Noah Hammond. “Dus we concluderen dat ijs II zich nog niet gevormd heeft en dat de oceaan dus niet compleet bevroren is.”
Een prachtige foto van de atmosfeer van Pluto. Het lijkt erop dat op deze foto een wolk te zien is: de allereerste wolk die in de atmosfeer van de dwergplaneet is aangetroffen.

Slag om de arm Overigens houden de onderzoekers wel een kleine slag om de arm. Ze wijzen erop dat ijs II alleen kan ontstaan als de ijskorst aan het oppervlak van Pluto minimaal 260 kilometer dik is. Als de korst dunner is, kan de oceaan volledig bevroren zijn zonder dat er ijs II ontstond. En als dat is gebeurd, zou er ook geen krimp plaatsvinden. De onderzoekers benadrukken echter dat hun model suggereert dat de ijskap op Pluto tegen de 300 kilometer (misschien zelfs meer) dik is. En ook het stikstof- en methaanijs op het oppervlak van Pluto is goed nieuws voor de ondergrondse oceaan. “Deze exotische ijssoorten isoleren goed en voorkomen mogelijk dat Pluto meer warmte verliest.”
Er zijn al met al dus sterke aanwijzingen dat de oceaan onder het oppervlak van Pluto nog niet volledig bevroren is. “Dat is verbazingwekkend,” stelt Hammond. “Dat er op zo’n grote afstand van de zon op Pluto een oceaan met vloeibaar water kan bestaan en dat hetzelfde wellicht mogelijk is op andere Kuipergordelobjecten is ongelooflijk.”
De afstand tussen ruimtevaartuig Juno en Jupiter wordt iedere dag kleiner en is momenteel minder dan acht miljoen kilometer. Dit betekent dat de gasplaneet al goed te zien is.
Op een foto die Juno op 21 juni maakte, is niet alleen Jupiter te zien. Ook de vier grootste manen van de gasplaneet – Io, Europa, Ganymedes en Callisto – hangen als kroonjuwelen om de koning der planeten. Tijdens het maken van de foto was de afstand nog bijna elf miljoen kilometer.
De komende dagen worden de beelden alsmaar scherper. Juno arriveert namelijk op 4 juli bij Jupiter en zal dan langs de polen om de planeet draaien. Het ruimtevaartuig scheert rakelings langs de gaslagen om erachter te komen wat er onder het dikke wolkendek van Jupiter schuilgaat. Ook hopen wetenschappers te achterhalen hoe de gasreus is ontstaan.
De laatste dagen voor de aankomst bij Jupiter gaan spannend worden. We krijgen dan niet veel foto’s te zien, omdat de instrumenten zich klaarmaken voor de aankomst bij de gasplaneet. Pas twee dagen na aankomst bij Jupiter draaien de instrumenten naar buiten, waarna er foto’s gemaakt kunnen worden. “We zien de wolkenbanden zoals we ze nog nooit eerder zagen”, zegt hoofdonderzoeker Scott Bolton van het Southwest Research Institute. “Zelfs de Grote Rode Vlek.”
De Juno-ruimtesonde is op 5 augustus 2011 gelanceerd en is momenteel dus al bijna vijf jaar onderweg. Dat is een flinke reis. Gelukkig komt het doelwit nu in beeld.
Nieuwe beelden van Jupiter verraden wat Juno te wachten staat
Nieuwe beelden van Jupiter verraden wat Juno te wachten staat
Caroline Kraaijvanger
Over een week arriveert ruimtesonde Juno bij Jupiter. En in wat voor toestand gaat Juno Jupiter aantreffen? Nieuwe beelden lichten een tipje van de sluier op.
De beelden zijn gemaakt door ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) en schetsen een gedetailleerd beeld van de atmosfeer van de gasreus. Op basis van deze en andere beelden worden kaarten gemaakt die laten zien hoe de atmosfeer er nu voor staat, maar ook welke veranderingen deze de afgelopen maanden heeft ondergaan.
Links zie je Jupiter in infrarood, rechts in zichtbaar licht.

Voorbereiding “Deze kaarten dienen als voorbereiding op wat Juno de komende maanden zal tegenkomen,” vertelt onderzoeker Leigh Fletcher. “Door op verschillende golflengten van het infraroodspectrum waarnemingen te doen, kunnen we een driedimensionale reconstructie maken van het verticale transport van energie en materiaal in de atmosfeer.”
Toevalstreffers Het is nog niet zo gemakkelijk om vanaf de aarde heldere beelden van de atmosfeer van Jupiter te maken. Onze eigen atmosfeer zit regelmatig in de weg. Om toch scherpe beelden te kunnen verkrijgen, hebben de onderzoekers gebruik gemaakt van een techniek die ‘lucky imaging‘ wordt genoemd. Hierbij worden duizenden afzonderlijke, heel kort belichte opnamen van Jupiter gemaakt. Uit die beelden kiezen de onderzoekers één opname waarbij de atmosferische turbulentie het minst hinderlijk is. Meerdere van die ‘toevalstreffers’ hebben onderzoekers vervolgens gecombineerd om de beelden te verkrijgen die je hier ziet.
Jupiter.

Ruimtesonde Juno werd in 2011 gelanceerd en legde maar liefst 3 miljard kilometer af om bij Jupiter te komen. Over precies een week arriveert de ruimtesonde dan eindelijk bij de gasreus. Het is de bedoelingdat de ruimtesonde onder de wolken van Jupiter gaat gluren. Naar verwachting zal de missie een schat aan informatie opleveren over de gasreus en zijn ontstaan en evolutie.
Overal ter wereld neemt het aantal verwoestende hagelbuien toe in hevigheid en aantal.
Dit keer is het niet alleen in het buitenland waar geschokte getuigen allemaal hetzelfde vertellen: “Dit hebben we nog nooit meegemaakt”.
Door alle commotie rondom de politieke show van de elite, genaamd Brexit, zijn de uitzonderlijke gebeurtenissen in het zuiden en oosten van ons land een beetje naar de achtergrond verdrongen.
Ook wij, in ons land, beginnen nu eigenlijk voor het eerst goed te merken wat de komst van de planeet Nibiru voor ons zal betekenen.
Het betreft dan het weer en de extremen die ermee gepaard gingen.
Navolgend een korte impressie uit Brabant enkele dagen geleden.
In de brede lijn Helmond-Venray-Venlo is donderdagavond voor vele miljoenen euro's schade aangericht door hagelbuien waarbij hagelstenen vielen ter grootte van tennisballen.
Dat heeft een woordvoerder van het Verbond van Verzekeraars vrijdag gezegd.
''Het waren geen hagelstenen meer, maar echte ijsballen. Dat ze zo groot waren is echt uitzonderlijk, dat maken we zelden mee. Volgens sommigen leken de hagelbuien wel mortiervuur. Auto's zijn veranderd in poffertjespannen en veel daken en dakramen zijn gesneuveld", aldus de woordvoerder.
Alleen al in de agrarische sector wordt de totale schade geschat op minstens honderd miljoen euro, meldt ZLTO in een verklaring aan Omroep Brabant.
Verwoestende hagel is een fenomeen dat zich in toenemende mate overal ter wereld voor doet. En overal vertellen getuigen hetzelfde verhaal: “Ze hebben zoiets nog nooit meegemaakt”.
Zelfs op plekken waar je normaal gesproken nooit dit soort dingen zou verwachten zoals Alice Springs in Australië, waar nu hagelstenen ter grootte van golfballen naar beneden kwamen.
De Washington Post had over “the hailstorm from hell”, toen ook daar een hagelbui losbarstte die bomen ontwrichte en van geparkeerde auto’s wrakken maakte.
De hagelstenen in Amerika waren zo mogelijk nog groter dan die in Australië en men sprak dan ook van hagelstenen ter grootte van een baseball.
Enorme hagelstenen zorgen voor complete panieksituaties zoals je kunt zien in de volgende video die gemaakt is in Kuala Lumpur en waarbij complete ramen uit een groot kantoor gebouw worden weggeslagen.
Wat hier gebeurt, heeft weinig meer te maken met een zomerse onweersbui.
Nog steeds worden de aluhoedjes voor gek versleten met hun niet bestaande planeet Nibiru en er zal nog veel meer voor nodig zijn, voordat ook het gros van de bevolking in de gaten zal krijgen dat we keer op keer in situaties terechtkomen die zo extreem zijn dat we die nog nooit eerder hebben meegemaakt.
Langzamerhand komt er steeds meer bewijs boven tafel voor het bestaan van deze planeet.
De hierna volgende video is afkomstig van het Leak Project waar Rex Bear, een onderzoeker die door Marshall Masters hoog wordt ingeschat, samen met een gast de laatste afbeeldingen van de planeet Nibiru onder de loep houdt.
En in al die jaren hebben we daar waanzinnige opnames gezien zoals die grote sigaarvormige UFO die met een enorme snelheid de vulkaan in duikt. De beelden daarvan zijn op de Mexicaanse televisie vertoond, maar nooit in onze contreien.
Bij ons zal je dit soort dingen op televisie nooit tegen komen, want ze bestaan niet. En als ze niet bestaan, dan kan je ze ook niet op televisie laten zien, toch?
Dit is wat het Mexicaanse publiek zag in het late najaar van 2012.
Daarna hebben we nog talloze andere vreemde opnames gehad, ook nog van andere sigaarvormige UFO’s zoals te zien in de volgende video, opgenomen in juli 2015:
Dan, enkele dagen geleden, zijn er wel hele vreemde beelden te zien via de webcam.
Het lijkt wel alsof er een feestje van UFO’s plaatsvindt, want uit alle hoeken en gaten komen ze tevoorschijn.
Er zijn wel vaker opnames gemaakt van dit soort UFO’s bij de vulkaan, maar dan was het er altijd maar hooguit één.
Nu zien we misschien wel tien verschillende exemplaren die als het ware een soort dans uitvoeren, alsof ze weten dat ze door de webcam worden opgenomen.
Volgens Scott Waring is de reden omdat de camera op het moment van opname op infrarood stand stond, waardoor het apparaat dingen waarneemt die normaal gesproken niet met het blote oog te zien zijn.
Komende week – 30 juni – is het de dag van de planetoïde. Een goede reden om ons eens even in deze ruimtestenen te verdiepen!
Planetoïde Mathilde: één van de weinige planetoïden waar we close-up foto’s van bezitten. Deze planetoïde heeft een diameter van ongeveer 50 kilometer.

1. Ze zijn niet moeders mooiste Planetoïden zijn ruimtestenen die – net als bijvoorbeeld de aarde – om de zon heen draaien. Ze onderscheiden zich van (dwerg)planeten doordat ze kleiner zijn en onvoldoende zwaartekracht bezitten om een mooie ronde vorm aan te nemen. Echt mooi zijn planetoïden dan ook niet: ze hebben vaak grillige vormen en zijn bovendien vaak bedekt met kraters. Mooi of niet: onderzoekers vinden planetoïden machtig interessant. De ruimtestenen zijn namelijk restanten uit de jonge jaren van het zonnestelsel en kunnen ons naar verwachting veel meer vertellen over hoe het er in die tijd in ons stelsel aan toeging. De meeste planetoïden bevinden zich tussen de baan van Mars en Jupiter, in de zogenoemde planetoïdengordel. Hier zijn miljoenen planetoïden te vinden.
De planetoïden die samen de planetoïdengordel vormen, hebben op deze afbeelding een grijze kleur gekregen. Ze bevinden zich tussen de baan van Mars en Jupiter.

2. Sommige planetoïden hebben een maantje En de planetoïde Ida is er daar één van. In 1993 scheerde ruimtesonde Galileo langs de ongeveer 30 kilometer grote ruimtesteen. En op de beelden die Galileo maakte, ontdekten onderzoekers iets bijzonders. Ida is niet alleen. De planetoïde bleek een eigen maantje te hebben dat de naam Dactylo kreeg. Vandaag de dag is van ongeveer 150 planetoïden bekend dat ze een maan bezitten.

4. Soms zet een planetoïde zijn zinnen op een bezoek aan aarde Het kan zomaar gebeuren dat de baan van een planetoïde deze richting de aarde voert. Dat is niet direct reden voor paniek. Alle ruimtestenen kleiner dan 25 meter verbranden in principe in de atmosfeer en vormen dus geen of nauwelijks een bedreiging voor het leven op aarde. Ernstiger wordt het als we met een grotere planetoïde te maken hebben. Als een planetoïde die tussen de 25 en 1000 meter groot is de aarde raakt, resulteert dat lokaal in schade. Is de planetoïde groter dan 1 à 2 kilometer dan kunnen de effecten van deze inslag wel eens wereldwijd gevoeld worden. Volgens NASA wordt de atmosfeer van de aarde ongeveer elk jaar geraakt door een planetoïde ter grootte van een auto. Zo’n planetoïde verbrandt in de atmosfeer (vanaf de aarde zien we dan een vuurbal langs de hemel scheren). Ongeveer elke 2000 jaar slaat een planetoïde groter dan 100 meter op aarde in, waarbij er lokaal heel wat schade ontstaat. Slechts één keer in de paar miljoen jaar krijgen we te maken met een planetoïde die een bedreiging vormt voor de mensheid.
Hier zie je alle banen van de potentieel gevaarlijke planetoïden die groter zijn dan 140 meter en relatief dicht bij de aarde in de buurt komen. Hoewel het plaatje al wat ouder is (2013) laat het duidelijk zien dat het een drukke bedoening is in ons zonnestelsel. Afbeelding: NASA / JPL-Caltech.
5. NASA heeft een lijstje Juist omdat planetoïden een bedreiging kunnen vormen voor de aarde, is het zaak dat we ze – voor zover mogelijk – allemaal opsporen en de banen van deze planetoïden in kaart brengen. Alleen zo kunnen we voorspellen welke planetoïden nu of in de toekomst gevaarlijk kunnen worden. En dat is exact wat onderzoekers wereldwijd doen. Het resulteert in een lijstje met daarop ‘potentieel gevaarlijke planetoïden’. Het is niet bewezen dat de planetoïden op dit lijstje op aarde in gaan slaan, maar het zou wel kunnen. Op dit moment staan op het lijstjemeer dan 1700 planetoïden. Dat zijn er heel wat, maar geen reden om vannacht wakker te liggen. De kans dat deze planetoïden de komende 100 jaar de aarde raken, ligt voor alle exemplaren lager dan 0,01 procent.
6. Bruce Willis kan ons niet redden Mocht één van de potentieel gevaarlijke planetoïden toch op de aarde afstevenen, dan is het zeker niet aan te bevelen om Bruce Willis een belletje te geven. Willis redde in de beroemde film ‘Armageddon‘ de wereld door een op aarde afstevenende planetoïde op te blazen. Het leek heel effectief, maar onderzoek heeft al aangetoond dat die aanpak in het echt niet zou werken. Je zou er een bom voor nodig hebben die ongeveer een miljard keer krachtiger is dan de krachtigste bom die ooit is gebouwd (een kernwapen, bijgenaamd Big Ivan). Opblazen is dus geen optie. Maar dat wil niet zeggen dat we maar toe moeten kijken hoe een planetoïde de aarde vernietigt. Er zijn wellicht verschillende manieren om een planetoïde die op de aarde afkomt van richting te doen veranderen. Zo zouden laserstralen wellicht iets uit kunnen richten. Voorwaarde is wel dat we zo’n planetoïde tijdig ontdekken. Het van richting veranderen vereist namelijk tijd.

7. We gaan op korte termijn weer naar een planetoïde toe! Een ontmoeting met een planetoïde is niet iets om naar uit te zien. Tenzij niet de planetoïde bij ons, maar wij bij de planetoïde op bezoek gaan. En dat laatste gaat op korte termijn weer gebeuren. Binnenkort wordt OSIRIS-REx gelanceerd. Deze ruimtesonde gaat een bezoekje brengen aan planetoïde Bennu. Bovendien is het de bedoeling dat de sonde materiaal van het oppervlak van Bennu verzameld en terug naar de aarde brengt voor analyse. Daarnaast wil NASA in de toekomst een robot naar een planetoïde sturen, een grote steen van het oppervlak van de planetoïde ‘jatten’ en deze steen vervolgens in een baan rondom de maan plaatsen. Eenmaal in een baan rond de maan is het de bedoeling dat astronauten de steen gaan bezoeken en bestuderen. Het is een ambitieuze missie bedoeld om meer te weten te komen over planetoïden en de mensheid klaar te stomen voor ruimtemissies naar verre oorden, zoals planetoïden of Mars.

Voor het eerst in de 21ste eeuw is er weer een vortex te zien op Neptunus. De donkere vlek is gesignaleerd door de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop.
Toen de Voyager 2 in 1989 langs de buitenste planeet van het zonnestelsel vloog, toen fotografeerde het ruimtevaartuig al een grote donkere vortex. Vijf jaar later zag Hubble opnieuw de vlek. Daarna verdween de vortex uit beeld.
De wervelstorm op Neptunus is een hogedruksysteem, waardoor er ook heldere wolken ontstaan. Deze heldere wolken vormen zich als een luchtstroom over de cortex beweegt, waardoor er kristallen van methaanijs ontstaan. Donkere wervelstormen ontstaan sneller op Neptunus dan op Jupiter, maar verdwijnen ook weer vliegensvlug. Geen enkele donkere vlek is hetzelfde. Klein of groot, rond of ovaal: het kan allemaal.
Geruchten Overigens zijn er al sinds vorig jaar aanwijzingen dat er weer een donkere vlek op Neptunus huist. Toen maakten amateur-astronomen en wetenschappers melding van heldere wolken op de gasplaneet. Amateur-telescopen zijn echter niet krachtig genoeg om de donkere vlek te spotten, terwijl aardse observatoria – zoals de Keck-telescopen – teveel last hebben van de atmosfeer. Dit geldt niet voor de Hubble-telescoop, die wel vrij zicht heeft op de planeet.
Verlengd contract Gelukkig kunnen we nog lang van mooie Hubble-foto’s genieten. NASA verlengde gisteren het contract voor het beheer van de ruimtetelescoop met vijf jaar. De ruimtelescoop zal tot 30 juni 2021 bestuurd worden vanaf het Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. In totaal trekt de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie hier 196 miljoen dollar extra voor uit.
Steelers and Cowboys offered a lot of memorable plays on the field during their matchups in the 1970s, but something took place in the sky that occupied all the headlines in 1979.
The Steelers had won the game against the visiting Cowboys in Week 9 of the regular season in the score of 14-3 on October 28, 1979. Franco Harris sizzles for 102 yards and two touchdowns, including a 48-yard that sealed the win, in a rematch of Super Bowl XIII.
However, strange objects appeared late in the game, and they took the attention away from the match. Many witnesses left baffled of their identity, but Duquesne University archivist Thomas White believed they were kites designed to look like UFOs.
White explained that those were two kites that might have been connected. He claimed to have seen footage of kites and observed that they moved in very similar fashion to the ones that appeared in the football match.
However, most witnesses did not see those as kites. The debates still continue and perhaps would never end, but one thing is for sure, the sighting was definitely one of the strangest moments in NFL history, particularly in the Steelers-Cowboys rivalry.

Filer’s Files #26 – 2016 UFOs Are Real- PART I
Thanks to those who have donated. We are working hard to bring you that latest information.
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Rear Admiral Rico Botta UFOs Are Real, General Watson “UFOs are not Extraterrestrail”, Triangles and Boomerang Underwater Bases, Ufology and Astronautics Museum, and Humanoid Next to Mars Rover.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklaoma, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arab Emirates, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland Israel, Kenya, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, and England in the United Kingdom.
The Filer Research Institute feels the scientific study of UFOs is for the benefit of humankind and is an important endeavor. The weekly intelligence report provides you with information on the latest sightings and UFO news that you need to understand the world situation. The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. These Files assume that extraterrestrial intelligent life not only exists, but my hypothesis is that the over a thousand UFOs reported each month represent technologically advanced spacecraft conducting surveillance of Earth. I personally became interested in UFOs when London Control ordered me to intercept one over England while flying for the US Air Force and Prince Phillip told me of his personal interest in UFOs. The US Air Force investigated UFOs for more than twenty years under Project Blue Book; and I continue this advanced research. I believe the God of the universe has spread life throughout the cosmos and UFO’s are visiting us in ever-increasing numbers.

Rear Admiral Rico Botta UFOs Are Real
Admiral Botta worked for the Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Department, for duty from January 1937 until December 1942, first in the Engineering Division Material Branch, and later as Head of the Power Plant Design Section with exceptional results. He is believed to hav sent spies to Germany to obtain the latest Nazi engine designs. In December 1942 he reported to the Naval Air Station, San Diego, California. According to US Navy Intelligence operative and aerospace engineer, William Tompkins that was revealed on the Jeff Rense Radio Show that he was brought in as part of the staff to Rear Admiral Rico Botta. Tomkins states, “The Admiral’s hobby was way above Naval Intelligence. He had 29 Navy Lieutenants who were operatives, spies, in Germany in 1940 and ’41 and ’42. And these fellas were being astounded in Germany because they found out that Hitler and the SS had signed some sort of agreements with Reptilian extraterrestrials, whereby the Reptilians would give UFOs and different types of vehicles, dozens of different types of weapons and even extended life to the SS.. The spies found evideece of advanced Nazi Disc shaped craft allegedly provided by the aliens.” Italian records indicate a disc crashed in Northern Italy on June 13, 1933. The craft’s technology was shared with the Germans. Tomkins claims he listened to what these Navy operatives did when they came back from Germany. And they presented this information to Admiral Rico Botta, and one of the three captains that I worked for, and the typist and myself.
And so we would get up at 1:00 in the morning and I’d get tapped on the shoulder in my bunk and I knew who it was. And all the Admiral’s aide said is, “He’s here.” So I’d throw my clothes on. He escorts me over to the Admiral’s tower. And in that top tower is a small conference room, and this is where these operatives explained to us all the things that the Germans were doing.Tompkins job was to carry the information to key government and aviation oficials throughout the country.
The Admiral was awarded the Legion of Merit for his service in the war. The citation states in part:“By his outstanding technical knowledge and skill, (he) enabled his department to meet the ever increasing demandsof the Fleet Air Commands for combat aircraft of the latest type and with the latest combat-improved changes installed.”
In February 1946, he became Fleet Air and Maintenance Officer on the Staff of Commander Air Force, Atlantic Fleet. He remained in that assignment until April 1949, when he reported as Assistant Chief of Naval Material and Director of the Production Policy Division, Navy Department, Washington, D. C. He continued serving there until June1950, and on July l, he assumed command of the Naval Air Material Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His leadership likely helped the Navy to lead in the development of disk craft and spaceships.
Willaim Tomkins went to work for Douglas Aircraft, whiose president Donald Douglas, Sr. personally put together an organization of key military people – admirals, generals, and several other aerospace executives. And he formed an organization to study extraterrestrials. He also put together a program to have inside of Douglas Aviation a top secret engineering think tank inside of Douglas Engineering. Douglas, Sr. started these investigations on extraterrestrials from the sightings of possibly 200 UFOs that continued to come in over Southern California of which over a half a million people US watched.William Tomkins has a new book revealingan Amazing history called, “Selected by Extraterrestrials.”
Major General Watson UFOs Are Not Extraterrestrial
Major General Watson was instrumental in integrating the evolving requirements of technology with manufacturing to ensure the field requirements for aircraft engines early in WWII were met. In early 1945 he was instrumental in the recovery of valuable intelligence data, aircraft, parts, and equipment during the war and immediately after the surrender. The primary objective was to learn what technology had been transferred to the Germans. The captured technology would also close the gap between the United States and Germany in reciprocating and jet engines as well as rocket technology. Using his leadership, engineering, manufacturing, and flight skills he successfully brought together and trained pilots to fly the captured aircraft. Watson himself flew every type of captured aircraft. He recruited German engineers and technicians to assist in the maintenance and preparation of these aircraft. German tractors and tanks were drained of diesel fuel so the captured aircraft could be flown. Craft were flown to Cherbourg, France to be transported on the British aircraft carrier H.M.S. Reaper. Watson flew a Junkers 290 aircraft that was later found to have booby trap explosive charges on board that luckily did not explode. Forty advanced German planes were delivered to Cherbourg in 20 days. It is suspected at least one was a disc. General Watson was the government’s biggest expert in exploiting foreign technology from Japan and Germany.
Returning to the United States he acted as a test pilot for many of the captured aircraft and laying the groundwork for the current day National Aerospace Intelligence Center. The documentation captured by Watson and others revealed thousands of scientific advances in aero-technology, electronics, magnetic-tapes, fuels, and other areas which the United States was lagging behind Germany. General Watson told Colonel Ray Sleeper who were both commanders of the Foreign Technology Division at Wright Patterson Air Force Base at different times. “UFOs are not extraterrestrial craft”.

Triangles and Boomerang Underwater Bases
Triangle Over Belgium
During January 1981, a huge boomerang shaped craft was seen over Arizona, with one witness proclaiming the object “was bigger than several football fields!” The V shaped craft was later reported over New York State and Connecticut in March 1983. Once again the craft was described as being “as big as two football fields” and this time, the craft flashed its lights on and off as though trying to attract attention. The next major event was the Belgian Flap, when huge triangular craft visited this small country during the period 1989/90. The SOBEPS Group (Societe Belge d Etudes des Phenomenes Spatiaux), were inundated with hundreds of reports during this period. Such was the efficiency of their organization that the Belgian Air Force asked for their co-operation and assistance! With SOBEPS members being widespread throughout the country, they were able to identify Flying Triangles in their locality and report their position to the Belgian Air Force.
In this manner, the SOBEPS members acted as trained observers for the Belgian Air Force. At one stage, two F16 interceptor fighters were placed at their disposal, to be directed to various parts of the country where the FTs were reported! This co-operation resulted in the F16s intercepting a number of the Flying Triangles, although the aircraft were completely unable to match the speed and maneuverability of the FTs, as subsequent cockpit radar film footage showed.
There had meanwhile been a number of isolated reports over the UK, but on the 26th September 1993, a huge Flying Triangle craft arrived over Bakewell in Derbyshire. Many residents of this small town were to share in the experience of watching a huge black craft, slowly and silently flying over their town. With a bright white light on each corner of its triangular shape and numerous smaller lights running along the edges of the craft, the FT flew low and at an estimated speed of only 30 mph. (A witness driving his vehicle at 40 mph overtook it!) The triangular craft the performed several slow maneuvers over the town before returning to its original course and flying slowly out of sight. It was just a few months later, on January 6th 1995, that a British Airways Boeing 737 aircraft was buzzed by a glowing triangular craft as it approached Manchester Airport! This was the forerunner of a Flying Triangle invasion, as the FTs then began to arrive in force.
There were 52 FT incidents recorded in and around the city of Derby from December 1994 to May 1995. These included hovering illuminated craft and in one instance, a huge triangular craft was observed hovering over one of the main traffic islands (Spider Bridge) on the A5111 circular road. Numerous witnesses were able to sketch and describe the FT craft in detail. The reports include FT craft hovering and shining down white beams of light onto the countryside at night. Lights have been reported on numerous occasions, but it seems highly unlikely that they are searchlights as such. Our new Doppler Radar technology enables present day satellites to look down through any weather onto the ground below and we presume that the FTs are the product of a far more advanced technology. The purpose of the FT searchlight beam could be something else, but what? Witnesses have described the FTs white beam of light as sometimes “ending in mid air, like a fluorescent tube.” As the number of FT reports have increased, a pattern of behaviour has begun to emerge. The FT craft appear to be coming in over the East coast of England and flying slowly across the countryside to various destinations including a number of Nuclear Power Stations, before returning back out to sea a few hours later.
Statistics from the Project FT database, under the discerning direction of Victor J. Kean have shown the following:
1995 – TOTAL FT REPORTS – 1797 of which 476 were observed over Nuclear Power Stations.
1996 – TOTAL FT REPORTS 1437 of which 988 were observed over Nuclear Power Stations.
1997 – TOTAL FT REPORTS – 1339 of which 1242 were observed over Nuclear Power Stations.
(NB – Figures for 1996 and 1997 are still being compiled and do not include associate spheres.)
The latest information from the Essex UFO Research Group under the able leadership of Ron West, (sadly no longer with us) (one of thirty groups operating under Project FT), states that since 1995, there have been reports of FT craft being seen entering and leaving the sea off the East coast near Lowestoft. There have also been 25 reports of lights seen moving under the surface of the sea in the same area. Could FTs have an undersea base somewhere along this coastline? Certainly, similar underwater activity has been reported from various parts of the world. One startling coincidence has recently come to light and that is the number of references made to the subject of underwater bases by Larry Warren and Peter Robins in their book Left At East Gate. The book deals primarily with the UFO incident in Rendlesham Forest, which took place in late December 1980, but then Larry Warren then goes on to reveal a further event.
Peter and Larry
Larry and Peter stayed at my home and Larry told me after the Rendlesham Forest incident, he got himself into trouble with the authorities by telephoning his mother about the UFO landing. He was ordered to go to a certain parking lot on the base where he would be met by a dark blue sedan car. When Larry arrived at the parking lot, he saw the car. As he entered into the vehicle, he remembered a greenish glow and then by all account, lost consciousness. He later recovered to find himself in an underground complex under the Woodbridge base, where he learnt from a black uniformed guard that it was part of a tunnel complex that led to the North Sea. Larry Warren was then taken into a strange darkened glass room, where he was contacted by a telepathic alien figure, partly hidden by a glowing screen. (p. 61).
Larry then learnt that he was in an underground complex that had been built in the 1940s. The complex contained many aliens, with their support personnel; Larry went on to state, “The crafts they travelled and entered and exited via an extensive tunnel system. One exit was a mile off Lowestoft, Suffolk another, near Orford Key.” If Larry’s encounter with the alien is true and not a hallucination, could it mean that the aliens are controlling the Flying Triangle craft that have been reported disappearing into the sea off Lowestoft? If there is an underground facility at the Woodbridge air force base, does it have tunnels leading to the North Sea? Larry Warren claims that it does.
His co-writer Peter Robbins states, “It is quite an amazing aspect of “Left At East Gate” and one I am convinced is real though what REAL means has yet to be established”. The latest information received indicates that there is intense UFO activity along the East Coast, particularly near Lowestoft and strange things are still happening in the vicinity of Rendlesham Forest! Just what is going on? Two independent sources have recently confirmed, that not only does a tunnel system exist below Woodbridge, but it is joined to the nearby Bentwaters base and is part of an extensive tunnel system throughout England. We believe that a tunnel complex was built along this coast in the 1940s and we can only speculate that it was probably extended in total secrecy during the recent Cold War period. (O.F. March 1998) Written By Omar Fowler
Kharkov, one of the major cities in Ukraine, has its own Museum of Astronautics and Ufology.
If you ever visit the city, do not forget to come see the Museum as it recognizes the existence of UFOs! It located in the local Planetarium. Website Thanks to Paul Stonehill
Humanoid Next to Mars Rover
Hey guys, I was checking out the newest Curiosity rover photos on the NASA site and found four of them with the shadow of an astronaut or alien in space suit that appears to be fixing the rover May 28, 2016.
This is not the first time an astronaut has been seen in a Curiosity rover photo, but actually the second. A few years ago a reader found a shadow of an astronaut, and on Twitter NASA refused to respond to the many inquires about it.
The photo was seen for over 45 minutes as it was fixing the rover. This just goes to show the public that the rover is being maintained by humans on Mars and that there are other spacecraft kept secret from the public that can carry a peers to Mars in just a few minutes.
Oh, and I got a Taiwanese friend who works at NASA right now. He said a few years ago that he saw a blue/green wheel space craft that hovers like a wheel turning and can carry an astronaut at about 1/20th the speed of light. Thats fast. That would get you to the moon in about 30 seconds. Scott C. Waringhttp://www.ufosightingsdaily.com

Filer’s Files #26 – 2016 UFOs Are Real - PART II
UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Triangle
Glendale — I was driving south and looked up and saw two massive objects in the sky on June 17, 2016. So I pulled over grabbed my camera and watched these two objects approach. The first one a massive building is what it looked like, all black with a black tower on the top. No sound or fire just defying gravity. Then along side of it was another ship that seemed to be an escort for the large building ship. It to was all black with a strange black sphere that was underneath it not attached it flew on its own but stayed under the escort ship. They moved slowly and didn’t seem to care if anyone saw. They came straight at me then turned together as if they were headed to Flagstaff. I have seen many strange thingsbut this was out of this world. I could see details on these craft, but my camera didn’t see them as I did but still captured it ok. Five people at my work also witnessed them. A military helicopter showed up not long after. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Lights
Winton — When we were all coming home and I looked up at the moon and noticed a red star or planet that was in the atmosphere on June 17, 2016. I have a set of binoculars to looked at the red light. Looking at it changed shapes with lights and expanded like a balloon. I then grabbed my camera ad recorded the event.
I was able to obtain the footage which I have included in the pictures. It was amazing to see it glowing and change shapes. The object is still in the sky within the horizon of the moon. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Connecticut Lights
Coventry— I went outside to smoke a cigarette around 10:30 PM, on June 19, 2016. It was brighter out than normal for that time of night, so I was looking up at the moon trying to see if there was a full moon. To the right of the moon I noticed a star that looked bigger and way brighter than every other star in the sky. Then I saw the red light moving and initially rubbed my eyes thinking I was just seeing things. But the lights kept changing. I kept seeing the red light go by rotating from right to left. So I focused on several other stars thinking it’s just got to be my eyes, but no other star in the sky did anything like that. So I started to take pictures, it was hovering so high up in the sky. I watched it for half an hour while it changed lights the entire time. When I came back outside around a half hour later it was gone. I was excited when I first saw it, but the longer I watched it change and hover above I got nervous. I’m still not positive what exactly happened last night. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Light
Rochester — Pamela Stark My husband and I came out of the restaurant in Taylorville, Illinois this evening. My friends were in the sky. Sure did not look like this when I took the picture. Thursday June 16, 2016. The one was closer to the Earth then ever before and alot brighter. Thanks to Pamela Stark
Missouri Light
Wentzville — I was walking out of my garage to smoke a cigarette on June 18, 2016. As I exited my garage, I noticed a green glowing object the size of a large car hovering above my neighbor’s house.
It took off quickly going west towards the sunset. It Stopped and began flying erratically.
So I pulled out my cell phone and captured it on my camera for a few seconds before I lost sight of it.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Curryville— Heading west on Highway 54 as I was passing through Curryville my 6 year old daughter and I noticed a gray disc in the sky emitting two bright beams on June 17, 2016.
It seemed to hover for 10 seconds max then disappeared. A person who passed me on the hwy earlier was stopped taking pictures of this object as well. I have never seen anything like this but feel it was not normal. Attached are three pics, one of the objects when the beams were off and a couple with the beams on before disappearing. I took these from my cell phone so quality is not the greatest.
New Jersey Tripple Flash
Ringoes— I was sitting on the porch when in June 16, 2016, and I saw a bright red light through the trees. I thought it was a drone from the prom party a street over.until I noticed it was moving in my direction and had no sound. As it come more from behind the trees. I got up and went to the clearing and noticed it had a smaller white light attached to it. Which when the red did the tripple flash you could see structure between the 2 lights. It looked like it was going about 10mph. And while passing me almost looked like it stopped and rotated. Like it was looking at me. But then just kept on going in a east direction.I texted my sister to come out and see it. Even with the big bright flashing stobe. Which you could end up seeing from 30 miles away. This is a similar shot of a red orb.Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mantua — Triangular UFO hovered over route 45 in NJ and turned on its side over the road and then flew sideways towards Philadelphia PA. at approximately 10 mph. I have never encountered any aircraft like this in my life. It made no noise and it seemed to have multicolored lights rotating inside one light. If anyone else witness this at approximately 9:40 pm on June 10th 2016. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New York Orbs in Video Footage
Brooklyn – Here is one of my most recent captures. I’m shooting at full 600 mm and 1/3000th second shutter speed on June 12, 2016. You will have to watch very carefully. There are various white orbs streaking by and one large craft of some kind. The best way to view is to manually use the slide bar and slowly move it across the bottom. See if you can count the white objects. Some are disk shaped.
Note: The witness has sent several other videos of orbs and disk shaped objects taken during the past year. Only 1 of the videos is posted. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
North Carolina Green Ball
Wrightsville Beach — I took pictures at sunset Thursday, June 16 around 7:45 pm at the southern point of the island where the ocean meets the sound. The next day when I was posting them on Facebook, I noticed a glowing green spot on the image, and enlarged it to see what it was. It appeared to be a translucent, glowing, green orb with dots, lights, or spines on the surface. I then discovered another photo in a different location down the beach with a similar orb on the sand, and 3 more photos with similar, but more perfectly round objects in the sky. In the glare of the sunset, I did not actually see these objects when I took the photos. The photos are from my Galaxy 6S Edge phone, and are untouched outside of cropping to view the objects more closely. Other photos taken at the same time do not have this green spot. I only discovered the orbs in photos after I had left the area. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oklahoma Disc
Lawton — My family and I were driving through the Wichita Mountains on May 29, 2016. So I took my husband’s cell phone and started to take pictures. One week later I was going through the photos that I took and noticed something in the sky! So I showed my husband and he said it’s a bug but the funny thing is its too big and it has distance to it. So can you please HELP with this photo and let me know what it really is thank you. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Oregon Lights
Eugene – I was at a BBQ party around 9:50 pm on June 18, 2016 when people observed a red light flashing bluish white hovering to our east. I observed it for five minutes before taking out my cell phone and recording it.
It hovered for about 45 seconds after I started filming then it abruptly began to take off in a straight trajectory to the east from our location. I lost it when it passed the trees on the horizon. It was very strange and 100% silent. Still pondering what I saw. ‘Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Lights
Valleyford I visit your site about once a week. During my visit today I noticed, for the first time, the middle photo of the three that you have posted at the top of your web page. It reminds me of the photo which I have attached. My photo was taken in 2002, during an active, several month long flap starting in February, 2002. his photo was taken with a 35mm film camera mounted to a small telescope. It is not an exact match to your photo, but it does have some interesting similarity. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Wyoming Object
Casper — My boyfriend and I were walking back to our apartment after taking our dog on a walk on May 26, 2016. I looked up and saw something in the sky… Maybe balloons.. My boyfriend works at the dispatch center which is always notified when special events like that take place. There was not anything going on that day that could explain these objects in the sky so I recorded them. The objects were pretty stationary, hovered and moved slowly. I was feeling extremely curious so I posted the video on a facebook page that is for the town, we got many comments about the video, but none that could explain what we saw.
We were the only people who saw these object, there were so other witnesses. We didn’t loose sight we simply stopped recording and went home.. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Argentina Lights
Rosario River –This is an interesting sighting of some glowing lights over the Rosario River on June 12, 2916. It looks like we are seeing a UFO hovering over the water, hence the two long lights. However the top light is actually the UFO, the bottom light may be the reflection or the illumination from the doorway below the surface which the UFO probably came from. Hiding a doorway underwater that takes you to an underground base is a smart move.Scott C. Waring Website
Silvia Pérez Simondini, director of Visión OVNI and CEFORA, writes, “I was truly amazed on Sunday night. For 26 years, night after night, I have observed and have come to know each spot on the island from the summit of Cerro de la Matanza. On Sunday, with my friend Checo Jaroslav, we visited the summit once more, and I was astonished to see a vast source of light in the middle of the river. The lights of the city of Rosario could be seen in the distance, which gave me the certainty that these lights we were seeing were much closer to Victoria. The bridges are not lit and along the route there is nothing that has such illumination. It was interesting to observe it from hilltop as the upper part of the illumination vanished as if by magic. Since Checo was returning to Buenos Aires along that route, we agreed that he would make sure to see what it was from both sides. The fact is he saw absolutely nothing, or any area illuminated in such a way. We have no idea what it was. These are the photos. News Source: Website
Australia Orb
Gold Coast – I’m not sure what I’m seeing in the photos. They were not visible with the naked eye. The image was taken outside on June 8, 2016. The balcony (no glass window) of the 43rd floor of the Hilton Australia. I noticed the strange object on my first shot so I cleaned the lens and kept taking shots And the object kept moving. Any ideas.Note: There is a possible sun’s reflection on lens. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Sphere
Miquelon Lake — On June 4th at almost midnight our family was camping in Strathcon, Alberta with neighbors when our children asked what the lights were? We were all sitting around a campfire and got up and noticed an orb light followed by three more lights in formation. And then they just kept coming, around 8 more. There was no sound and they look nothing like what my picture looks like, they were high up but bigger, they were like glowing orbs.
My neighbor took a video but there was no sound and it was distorted. We were excited by what we were seeing but I know I was scared, and my daughter was scared. They kept flying and then one by one would disappear.. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ireland Orb
Cork — I took a number of photo’s of the moon with a cheap camera phone. I saw nothing but the moon with the naked eye, until I uploaded the photo’s to my PC! Have a look, remember its not the moon that’s strange in the photo, but the strange objects to the left and down. Zoom in. I also have more photo’s and video footage on a close encounter (60ft) which had a physical affect on me. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Israel Disc
Jerusalem – In late September 22, 2015, we took lots of Photos with one having unknown/seen object in picture. Picture taken seconds before has No object! At first I thought it could be a bird. However, other than an occasional Pigeon seen at and around Human food sources we saw few birds flying anywhere around the country. We have several hundred pictures and only the ones near humans have birds.
We also seen other things of the same nature while there but this is the only picture with an object we didn’t notice or possibly see with the Naked eye? Thanks to MUFON CMS
Kenya Disc
Muranga County — It was a flying saucer. It’s a foggy morning in Kenya, and a friend and I are driving down a Murram Road video tapping the heavy fog on June 22, 2016. The fog is falling making it hard to drive. It’s terrible weather for us but not for this UFO that took the chance to fly by unnoticed. The video shows the craft flying low and trees bending as it passes over. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Mexico Disk Over Volcano
Popocatepetl Volcano — CriterioHidalgo has reprinted a photograph of an alleged UFO captured in June 2016 by Webcams de Mexico (which has acquired a worldwide reputation for its captures of unusual phenomena over the Popocatepetl Volcano). The text reads as follows: “A new UFO photo has gone viral on social media, shown near the Volcan de Fuego in the state of Colima. Through its Facebook account, Webcams de Mexico displayed the photograph last Friday, showing an object crossing the sky near the fiery colossus. The photo asks the question “what could it be?” in order that users may leave their comments about what appears to be a flying saucers.”
UFOs continue to be seen regularly at volcanoes around the world, especially the volcanoes Mt. Popocatépetl, Mt. Colima and Mt. De Fuego in Mexico are UFO hotspots. These volcanoes are the most active places in the world if we talking about the numbers of sightings and evidence of UFOs near volcanoes. For many years, UFOs buzzing around, zipping into the craters, mysterious bright lights shooting over these volcanoes and all these UFOs are captured by webcams trained on these volcanoes. Objects were captured by a team of Maurice Mousseau equipped with special cameras owned by CENAPRED, Nobody knows why are these UFOs especially near these areas. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
Portugal Moving Light
Castelo Branco — On June 20, 2016, around 21:30 hours I went to my balcony and saw this bright light in the sky moving fast horizontaly, then making a curve. After a short moment it descended and disapeared behind the buildings in front of my house. I did not hear any sound. The light kept on appearing for several times during around 15 minutes and descended. Could it be a drone with a light for night flight? Possibly! But drones make some noise and as I said it was a silent night in my town and I did not hear any noise. Or it could be far away for me not to hear it. The second time it took-off I rush into my house to grab may camera and made a few recordings of that light. The intensity of the light, kept on changing randomly from time to time.

Toledo — Photographing the city of Toledo on June 18, 2016, and after download photos to your PC could observe a strange ± object in the right tower of the Alcazar. It is shaped like a cone or bell, it seems metallic and duration could be just seconds since in the next photography and earlier no longer appears.
Actually I did not see the object until the picture down the computer. Visible if zoom is done. Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK England Orb and Cigar
Taking photos of insects in my garden when I captured an orb or something moving in towards middle of picture and stopping on June 17, 2016.
The picture was at 1/500th of a second so it must of been incredibly fast then there was two more hovering by a dandelion and others in different places. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Marske – At 9.30 pm on June 21st 2016 saw an object in the sky that was moving. It was cigar shaped but looked like it was on fire but left no trail. It moved at the speed you would expect to see an aeroplane move when you look up to the sky.
I thought it may be a comet or a shooting star or possibly some sort of reflection but I have done some research on all of the above and none move in the way this did. It’s speed was constant and it flew out over the North Sea. I videoed it then checked my phone to see it had recorded and when I looked back up, it had gone. I do not know whether it disappeared or simply went out of sight. Whilst it was visible, I rang my neighbor and she also saw it. Thanks to MUFON CMS

The ancient Silla Kingdom reigned over part of the Korean Peninsula from 57 B.C. to A.D. 935, making it one of the longest-ruling royal dynasties. Many of Korea's modern-day cultural practices stem from this historic culture. Yet despite its long reign and wide-ranging influence on culture, the number of Silla burials with intact skeletons remained few and far between, said study co-author Dong Hoon Shin, a bioanthropologist at Seoul National University College of Medicine in the Republic of Korea.
"The skeletons are not preserved well in the soil of Korea," Shin told Live Science in an email. [7 Strange Facts About North Korea]
However, in 2013, researchers had a lucky break while excavating a grave near Gyeongju, the historic capital of the Silla Kingdom. Inside a traditional burial coffin, called a "mokgwakmyo," lay the nearly perfectly intact bones of a woman who died in her late 30s.
Long head
The team managed to extract the woman's mitochondrial DNA, or DNA that is passed from mother to daughter. The analysis revealed that she belonged to a genetic lineage that is present, though not common, in East Asia today. Analysis of the carbon isotopes (versions of carbon with different weights) in the skeleton also revealed that the woman was likely a strict vegetarian, in keeping with the interpretation of Buddhism that was prevalent at the time in the country. She also ate a greater percentage of her calories from foods with a type of carbon found in foods such as rice, wheat and potatoes, versus millet or maize, the researchers reported June 1 in the journal PLOS ONE. (The carbon isotope testing cannot determine whether the diet was composed primarily of rice, potatoes or wheat.)
The team was also able to reconstruct her facial features and head shape based on skull fragments. It turned out that the woman was dolichocephalic, meaning her head width was less than about 75 percent of its length.
That differs somewhat from the trends in the region today, where people are more commonly brachycephalic, meaning their head width is at least 80 percent of the head length.
One possibility is that the head was deliberately deformed to have this elongated shape. Skull deformation has occurred throughout the world, and in fact, archaeologists have unearthed evidence of skull deformation from the neighboring Gaya Kingdom, said study co-author Eun Jin Woo, a physical anthropologist at Seoul National University in the Republic of Korea.
However, the team ultimately ruled out this explanation because heads that are deliberately deformed usually have flatter bones in the front of the skull. To compensate for all of the pressure that head deformation causes, the bones in the side of the skull tend to grow more, Woo said.
"The skull in this study did not show the shape changes in deformed crania," Woo told Live Science in an email. "In this regard, we think her head should be considered as normal variation in the group."
Editor's Note: This article was updated to clarify that foods such as rice, potatoes and wheat produce the same carbon signature, so researchers cannot distinguish which of those specific foods made up the bulk of the Silla woman's diet.
In 2012, Glen MacPherson, of the University of British Columbia, began hearing the sound at night, between 10 and 11 p.m.

In the spring of 2012, when I was living near the coastal village of Sechelt, on British Columbia’s picturesque Sunshine Coast, I began hearing a humming sound, which I thought were float planes.
The noise usually started later at night, between 10 and 11 p.m. My first clue that something unusual was happening came with the realization that the sound didn’t fade away, like plane noises typically do. And the slightest ambient noise – exhaling audibly, even turning my head quickly – caused it to momentarily stop. One night after the sound started I stepped outside the house. Nothing.
I was the only person in the house who could hear it; my family said they didn’t know what I was talking about.
Naturally, I assumed something in the house was the culprit, and I searched for the source in vain. I even ended up cutting the power to the entire house. The sound got louder.
While I couldn’t hear the sound outdoors, I could still hear it in my car at night with the windows closed and the ignition off. I drove for miles in every direction, and it was still there in the background when I stopped the car. I was able to rule out obvious sources: industrial activity, marine traffic, electric substations and highway noise.
When I searched on the internet for “unusual low-frequency humming noise,” I soon realized that others had conducted the same search. I was part of the small fraction of people who can hear what is called the “Worldwide Hum” or, simply, the “Hum.”
The questions motivating me and thousands of others were the same: “What’s causing this? Can it be stopped?”
One geoscientist’s theory
The classic description of the Hum is that it sounds like a truck engine idling. For some, it’s a distant rumbling or droning noise. It can start and stop suddenly or wax and wane over time. For others, the Hum is loud, relentless and life-altering.
I eventually came across one of the few serious papers on the topic. It was written in 2004 by geoscientist David Deming (who’s also a Hum hearer).
Deming began by describing the standard history: The Hum was first documented in the late 1960s, around Bristol, England. It first appeared in the United States in the late 1980s, in Taos, New Mexico.
He then examined the competing hypotheses for the source of the Hum. Many have pointed to the electric grid or cellphone towers. But this theory is dismissed on two grounds: cellphones didn’t exist in the 1960s, and the frequency emitted by both cell towers and the electric grid can be easily blocked by metal enclosures.
He wondered whether mass hysteria was to blame, a psychological phenomenon in which rumor and “collective delusions” lead to the appearance of physical ailments for which there’s no medical explanation. The fact that so many people have researched the Hum on their own, using a search engine – rather than hearing about it from some other person – moves the conversation away from delusion and hysteria spread by word of mouth.
Deming looked at the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), an isolated military compound in Alaska that uses radio waves to study outer space and for testing advanced communication techniques – and a favorite focus of conspiracy theorists, who have accused the facilityof acts ranging from mind control to weather control. He studied the possibility of otoacoustic emissions, which are naturally occurring sounds caused by the vibration of hair cells in the ear.
Deming eventually fingered Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio waves(between 3 kHz and 30 kHz) as the most likely culprit. The world’s military powers use massive land-based and airborne transmitters on these frequencies in order to communicate with submerged submarines. Radio waves at these frequencies can penetrate up to a solid inch of aluminum.
In the paper, Deming proposes a simple and elegant experiment for testing this hypothesis. Hum hearers randomly enter three identical-looking boxes. The first box blocks VLF radio signals, the second box is an anechoic (soundproof) chamber and the third box is the control.
He left the experiment for others to pursue, and while there are some practical difficulties with the design, Deming’s overall concept has motivated the experiments I am currently conducting.
A disciplined inquiry begins
A plethora of pseudoscience and wild conspiracy theories has the potential to drown out the serious work in this area. I’ve encountered seemingly serious people who have argued that the Hum is caused bytunneling under the earth, the electronic targeting of specific individuals,aliens and mating fish.
Given the need for disciplined inquiry into the phenomenon, in late 2012 I started The World Hum Map and Database Project. The database gathers, documents and maps detailed and anonymous information from people who can hear the Hum. It provides raw data for research in a strictly moderated and serious forum for research and commentary, while providing a sense of community for people whose lives have been negatively affected by the Hum.
Most people have some experience with how disruptive some types of noises can be, which is why there are often noise ordinances in many cities and towns, especially at night. There are many sufferers who dread the nighttime because of how loud and relentless the Hum can be. The Hum database is replete with descriptions of desperate people who have been tormented by the noise for years. The phrase “driving me crazy” is all too common. (I feel fortunate that, in my case, the Hum is more of a curiosity than it is an irritant.)
The project also aims to validate and normalize the phenomenon by discussing it alongside other widely reported auditory phenomena, such as tinnitus, a relatively common medical condition that causes people to hear high-pitched squealing tones. Those who experience tinnitus and also the Hum report the two as being completely different in character.
The latest update of the Hum Map, from June 6, presents roughly 10,000 map and data points, and we’ve already made some notable findings.
For example, we’ve found that the mean and median age of Hum hearers is 40.5 years, and 55 percent of hearers are men. This goes against thewidely repeated theory that the Hum mainly affects middle-aged and older women.
Interestingly, there are eight times as many ambidextrous people among hearers as there are in the general population. As more data are collected from Hum hearers, I hope that specialists in demographics and inferential statistics will be able to generate more detailed results.
The goals of the research
The historical record of the Hum is crucial, because if the current version as narrated by Deming is correct, many theories can immediately be ruled out. After all, cellphones and HAARP didn’t exist until decades after the Worldwide Hum was first documented in England in the late 1960s. I currently have a researcher digging into the Times of London digital archive to search for mentions of the Hum going back to the 18th and 19th centuries. If convincing examples are found, then the direction of my research will shift dramatically because all modern technologies could be ruled out.
In my view, there are currently four hypotheses for the source of the world Hum that survive the most superficial scrutiny.
The first hypothesis – argued by Deming and the one I’m currently pursuing – is that the Hum is rooted in Very Low Frequency (VLF) radio transmissions. It’s increasingly accepted now that the human body will sometimes experience electromagnetic (EM) energy and interpret it in a way that creates sounds. This was established for high-frequency EM energy by the American neuroscientist Alan Frey in his infamous“microwave hearing” experiments, which showed that certain radio frequencies can actually be heard as sounds.
Today, there are biophysical models that predict and explain the impact VLF EM energy has on living tissue. I have designed and built a VLF radio blocking box that should be able to test whether VLF radio frequencies are a prerequisite for generating the Hum.
The second hypothesis is that the Hum is the grand accumulation of low-frequency sound and human-generated infrasound (sounds with audio frequencies below roughly 20 Hz and which can be felt more than they can be heard). This includes everything from highway noise to all manner of industrial activity.
The third is that the Hum is a terrestrial or geological phenomenon that generates low-frequency sounds or perceptions of those sounds. For example, there is a well-documented history of animals predicting earthquakes and taking action to save themselves. From an evolutionary perspective, there may be survival value in having members of a population highly sensitive to some types of vibrations. When it comes to the Hum, some humans may have a similar physiological mechanism in place.
The fourth is that the Hum is an internally generated phenomenon, perhaps rooted in a particular anatomical variation, genetic predisposition or the result of toxicity and medication.
The Hum is now the subject of serious media coverage and, increasingly, scientific scrutiny. The overall goal of my project and the people who contribute to it is to find the source of the Hum and, if possible, stop it.
If the Hum is man-made, then my task is to raise public awareness and advocate turning away from the technologies that are causing it. If the source is exogenous and natural, there’s the possibility that there may be no escape from it, apart from masking it with background sounds.
Of course there is the remote possibility that one of the more exotic explanations will prove to be correct. But, as in all science, it seems best to start with what we know and is plausible, as opposed to what we don’t know and is implausible.
In the new movie "Independence Day: Resurgence," opening in theaters today (June 24), Earth will once again gear up for an epic fight with a hostile alien race. The premise will set up some awesome action sequences, but how realistic is the idea that if aliens were to visit Earth, their one goal would be to destroy us? What do the experts think?
Twenty years ago, the new movie's predecessor, "Independence Day," featured Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum cracking wise while using a computer virus (presumably written in an Earth-based computer language) to disable an alien ship and save humanity. In the new movie's timeline, Earth's nations have since created a huge, planetary-wide defense program to shield our planet, but it may not be enough to defend humanity when the aliens return.
Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has said repeatedly that he's afraid of aliens wiping out the human race the way a human would wipe out a colony of ants. ['Independence Day: Resurgence' Trailer]
In 2015, Hawking co-launched an initiative called Breakthrough Listen, which will search for alien communication signals out in the cosmos, and eventually broadcast signals from the human race, with the goal of enabling communication across the universe.
"We don't know much about aliens, but we know about humans," Hawking said at the Breakthrough announcement. "If you look at history, contact between humans and less intelligent organisms have often been disastrous from their point of view, and encounters between civilizations with advanced versus primitive technologies have gone badly for the less advanced. A civilization reading one of our messages could be billions of years ahead of us. If so, they will be vastly more powerful, and may not see us as any more valuable than we see bacteria."
Are the aliens benign?
Alien invasions of Earth are nothing new in sci-fi. One of the most famous examples is "War of the Worlds," an H.G. Wells 19th-century classic that was adapted into a Tom Cruise movie in 2005. In that film, aliens inexplicably begin bursting from underneath city pavement to incinerate humans.
But some films portray aliens as benign, such as 1997's "Contact," based on a 1980s book written by Carl Sagan. A signal begins spouting prime numbers, which Jodie Foster's SETI (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) team tries to decode. Their efforts at talking with the aliens turn a little strange, but there definitely is no invasion.
This hopeful view is something that science communicator Ann Druyan, Sagan's widow, shared at the Breakthrough event in 2015. (It's also the belief held by astronomer Jill Tarter, former director of the Center for SETI Research, whom Foster's character in "Contact" was based on.) Druyan is also involved in the Breakthrough initiative.
"We may get to a period in our future where we outgrow our evolutionary baggage and evolve to become less violent and shortsighted," Druyan said. "My hope is that extraterrestrial civilizations are not only more technologically proficient than we are but more aware of the rarity and preciousness of life in the cosmos."
Active SETI debate
Three spacecraft currently heading out of the solar system — the Pioneer probe and the two Voyager probes — contain maps that point the way back to Earth. And there continue to be initiatives to put messages for aliens on spacecraft. When the NASA New Horizons probe finishes its Pluto and possible Kuiper Belt work, some people are hoping to create a crowdsourced message for aliens to upload to its hard drive.
Some researchers, however, aren't sure it's such a good idea to shift SETI efforts from just listening to actually sending out signals — a method some call "active SETI."
"Active SETI advocates broke with the conventional wisdom of the SETI pioneers, which was to listen but not transmit. This change may have been driven by the impatience of younger SETI people after 40 years of unsuccessful searches," Michael Michaud, author of the book "Contact with Alien Civilizations: Our Hopes and Fears About Encountering Extraterrestrials" (2007, Copernicus), said in a 2014 interview with Space.com.
"But active SETI is not science," added Michaud, a former U.S. Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Department of State. "It is an attempt to provoke a response from an alien society whose capabilities and intentions are not known to us."
But Earth's sheer distance from other civilizations might serve as a shield against aliens that don't exactly want us around.
Douglas Vakoch, director of interstellar-message composition at the SETI Institute, said in 2010, "Even if they tend to be hateful, awful folks, can they do us any harm at interstellar distances?"
Enormous Stars Forming in the 'Little Fox' Captured in Stunning Photo

The raw material to create stars for millions of years is captured in this stunning, newly retrieved photo from the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory.
The space-based telescope was built to detect radiation that had been invisible to other telescopes at the time. That ability not only allowed it to fulfill its major objective of discovering how the first galaxies formed and evolved, but also made it an excellent choice for detecting dust and gas clouds that lead to the formation of new stars. Although its mission ended in 2013, scientists are still analyzing the wealth of data that Herschel collected over its four years of operation, uncovering stunning photographs such as this one.
Located in the constellation Vulpecula, or Little Fox, the region (pictured here in infrared wavelengths) births some of the biggest stars in the galaxy. Thesecolossal O- and B-type stars have much more mass than the sun — up to 16 times more for B stars and up to a staggering 100 times more for O stars — and their lives are significantly shorter for it. They last only a few million years before exhausting their fuel, collapsing and exploding as supernovas, triggering the next batch of stellar births in the region. Because they are so short-lived, the presence of a large number of them in one place signals ongoing star formation.
But what is truly surprising about this image is that the filaments of glowing interstellar gas seen here as red and orange threads are part of a vast, structured web that stretches across all of the galaxy's star-forming regions, NASA officials said in a statement. It was obtained via the Herschel Infrared Galactic Plane Survey, which mapped the inner Milky Way in five different infrared wavelengths.
Graphite Found at Pluto Moon Charon and Dwarf Planet Ceres
Graphite Found at Pluto Moon Charon and Dwarf Planet Ceres

The gray surfaces of the dwarf planet Ceres (the asteroid belt's largest resident) and Pluto's biggest moon, Charon, both show signs of containing forms of graphite, the material in pencil lead.
When NASA's Dawn spacecraft arrived at Ceres last year to embark on an orbital survey, it found a gray, icy world covered with debris left behind by impacts. Spectral observations of the object, which is both a dwarf planet and an asteroid, revealed evidence of a form of graphite called graphitized carbon on its surface, according to Amanda Hendrix, a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Arizona.
Graphitized carbon forms when carbon is heated to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen.
Hendrix studies how carbon forms in the inner solar system. She presented the results of her ultraviolet examination of Ceres at the Lunar and Planetary Sciences Conference in The Woodlands, Texas, in March.
Throughout Ceres' history, carbon-filled meteorites and asteroids have crashed into the dwarf planet. The solar wind's charged particles have collided with the deposited carbon, repeatedly reprocessing it to release hydrogen and leaving behind a dull, gray graphitized carbon. The dark material has a low albedo, meaning it doesn't reflect a lot of light.
"It hasn't evolved to proper graphite," Hendrix told Space.com. But it's close.
Similar carbon processing may occur on other objects in the asteroid belt, she said.
And earlier this year, scientists found that Mercury's surface has high levels of carbon, suggesting that it once boasted a graphite-rich crust.
Pluto's largest moon, Charon, has a dull, gray surface marred by a bright-red spot at the poles. As the red material is deposited, radiation may slowly dull its color, changing it to gray like the rest of the moon.

A dull moon
The inner solar system isn't the only place to find a gray world. Only a few months after Dawn reached Ceres, NASA's New Horizons spacecraftflew by Pluto and revealed that the dwarf planet's largest moon, Charon, has a grayish appearance. That color could have been caused by graphite on the moon's surface, according to lab results presented at the conference by Dale Cruikshank, a planetary scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center.
The presence of graphite at Charon presents a puzzle because New Horizons didn't spot carbon on Charon, but it did so at Pluto.
Before New Horizons arrived at Pluto, scientists hypothesized that the dwarf planet shared its atmosphere with its largest moon, and observations made by the spacecraft seem to confirm it. So carbon may travel from Pluto over to Charon, New Horizons scientists have said..
But although it is mostly gray, Charon also boasts a bright-red spot at its pole.
Cruikshank performed several experiments to learn more about this unusual color combination. In dousing ices similar to those found on the dwarf planet with radiation, Cruikshank was able to produce a residual organic gunk known as tholin. The color of this substance — named in 1979 by Carl Sagan and his colleague Bishun Khare, who performed similar space-themed experiments that left behind tholin as a sticky residue — resembles the color of Charon's red spot, as well as the color of some features seen at Pluto.
In fact, tholin may be involved in both the gray and reddish hues at Charon.
"The neutral color of Charon is consistent with taking tholin material and irradiating it," Cruikshank said during his presentation. "You end up with graphite."
The reddish region at Charon's pole is likely a newer deposit, whereas the rest of the moon is covered with an older layer, Cruikshank said.
Hendrix called these results surprising. Radiation from the solar wind should be significantly weaker at Charon than it is at Ceres, because Charon lies, on average, about 10 times farther from the sun than Ceres does. If the moon's surface is covered with graphite, she said, "it likely formed a different way."
[Editor's Note: This article previously stated that Charon lies about three times farther from the sun than Ceres does. Charon is actually, on average, about ten times farther from the sun than Ceres is.]
