Western society continues to be fascinated with the paranormal, with musing over the possibility of UFOs not carrying the stigma that it used to.

The 1990s were a high-water mark for public interest in UFOs and alien abduction. Shows like The X-Files and Fox’salien autopsy hoax were prime-time events, while MIT even hosted an academic conference on the abduction phenomenon.
In 2006, historian Ben Macintyre suggested in The Times that the internet had “chased off” the UFOs. The web’s free-flowing, easy exchange of ideas and information had allowed UFO skeptics to prevail and, to Macintyre, people were no longer seeing UFOs because they no longer believed in them.
Data seemed to back up Macintyre’s argument that, when it came to belief in UFOs, reason was winning out. A 1990 Gallup poll found that 27 % of Americans believed “extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth at some time in the past”. That number rose to 33 % in 2001, before dropping back to 24 % in 2005.
But now The X-Filesis back, and Hillary Clinton has even pledged to disclose what the government knows about aliens if elected president. Meanwhile, a recent Boston Globe article by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie suggests that belief in UFOs may be growing.
She points to a 2015 Ipsos poll, which reported that 45 % of Americans believe extraterrestrials have visited the Earth.
So much for reason.
Why does Western society continue to be fascinated with the paranormal? If science doesn’t automatically kill belief in UFOs, why do reports of UFOs and alien abductions go in and out of fashion?
To some extent, this is political. Even though government agents like Men in Black may be the stuff of folklore, powerful people and institutions can influence the level of stigma surrounding these topics.
Sociologists of religion have also suggested that skepticism is countered by a different societal trend, something they’ve dubbed “re-enchantment”. They argue that while science can temporarily suppress belief in mysterious forces, these beliefs will always return – that the need to believe is ingrained in the human psyche.
A new mythology
The narrative of triumphant reason dates back, at least, to German sociologist Max Weber’s 1918 speech “Science as a Vocation”, in which he argued that the modern world takes for granted that everything is reducible to scientific explanations.
“The world,” he declared, “is disenchanted.”
As with many inexplicable events, UFOs were initially treated as an important topic of scientific inquiry. The public wondered what was going on; scientists studied the issue and then “demystified” the topic.
Modern UFOlogy – the study of UFOs – is typically dated to a sighting made by a pilot named Kenneth Arnold. While flying over Mount Rainier on June 24, 1947, Arnold described nine disk-like objects that the media dubbed “flying saucers.”
A few weeks later the Roswell Daily Register reported that the military had recovered a crashed flying saucer. By the end of 1947, Americans had reported an additional 850 sightings.

During the 1950s, people started reporting that they’d made contact with the inhabitants of these craft. Frequently, the encounters were erotic.
For example, one of the first “abductees” was a mechanic from California named Truman Bethurum. Bethurum was taken aboard a spaceship from Planet Clarion, which he said was captained by a beautiful woman named Aura Rhanes. (Bethurum’s wife eventually divorced him, citing his obsession with Rhanes.) In 1957, Antonio Villas-Boas of Brazil reported a similar encounter in which he was taken aboard a ship and forced to breed with a female alien.
Psychologists and sociologists proposed a few theories about the phenomenon. In 1957, psychoanalyst Carl Jung theorised that UFOs served a mythological function that helped 20th-century people adapt to the stresses of the Cold War. (For Jung, this did not preclude the possibility that UFOs might be real.)
Furthermore, American social mores were rapidly changing in the mid-20th century, especially around issues of race, gender and sexuality. According to historian W. Scott Poole, stories of sex with aliens could have been a way of processing and talking about these changes. For example, when the Supreme Court finally declared laws banning interracial marriage unconstitutional in 1967, the country had already been talking for years about Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple who claimed to have been probed by aliens.
Contactee lore also started applying “scientific ideas” as a way to repackage some of the mysterious forces associated with traditional religions. Folklore expert Daniel Wojcik has termed belief in benevolent space aliens as “techno-millennarianism.” Instead of God, some UFO believers think forms of alien technology will be what redeems the world.Heaven’s Gate – whose members famously committed mass suicide in 1995 – was one of several religious groups awaiting the arrival of the aliens.
You’re not supposed to talk about it
Despite some dubious stories from contactees, the air force took UFO sightings seriously, organising a series of studies, including Project Blue Book, which ran from 1952 to 1969.
In 1966, the air force tapped a team of University of Colorado scientists headed by physicist Edward Condon to investigate reports of UFOs. Even though the team failed to identify 30% of the 91 sightings it examined, its 1968 report concluded that it wouldn’t be useful to continue studying the phenomenon. Condon added that schoolteachers who allowed their students to read UFO-related books for classroom credit were doing a grave disservice to the students’ critical faculties and ability to think scientifically.
Basing its decision off the report, the air force terminated Project Blue Book and Congress ended all funding for UFO research.
As religion scholar Darryl Caterine explained in his book Haunted Ground, “With civil rights riots, hippie lovefests and antiwar protests raging throughout the nation, Washington gave its official support to a rational universe.”
While people still believed in UFOs, expressing too much interest in the subject now came with a price. In 2010, sociologists Christopher D. Bader, F. Carson Mencken and Joseph O. Baker found that 69% of Americans reported belief in at least one paranormal subject (astrology, ghosts, UFOs, etc.).
But their findings also suggested that the more status and social connections someone has, the less likely he or she is to report paranormal belief. Single people report more paranormal beliefs than married people and those with low incomes report more paranormal belief than those with high incomes. It may be that people with “something to lose” have reason not to believe in the paranormal (or at least not to talk about it).
In 1973, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics surveyed its membership about UFOs. Several scientists reported that they had seen unidentified objects and a few even answered that UFOs are extraterrestrial or at least “real”. However, physicist Peter A. Sturrock suggested that scientists felt comfortable answering these questions only because their anonymity was guaranteed.
Harvard psychiatrist John Mack came to symbolise the stigma of UFO research. Mack worked closely with abductees, whom he dubbed “experiencers.” While he remained cagey about whether aliens actually existed, he advocated for the experiencers and argued that their stories should be taken seriously.
His bosses weren’t happy. In 1994, Harvard Medical School opened an investigation into his research – an unprecedented action against a tenured professor. In the end, Harvard dropped the case and affirmed Mack’s academic freedom. But the message was clear: Being open-minded about aliens was bad for one’s career.
Reason and re-enchantment
So if Hillary Clinton is running for president, why is she talking about UFOs?
Part of the answer may be that the Clintons have ties to a network of influential people who have lobbied the government to disclose the truth about UFOs. This includes the late millionaire Laurence Rockefeller (who funded John Mack’s research) and John Podesta, the chairman of Clinton’s campaign and a long-time disclosure advocate.
But there may also be a broader cultural cycle at work. Sociologists such as Christopher Partridge have suggested that disenchantment leads to re-enchantment. While secularisation may have weakened the influence of traditional churches, this doesn’t mean that people have become disenchanted skeptics. Instead, many have explored alternate spiritualities that churches had previously stigmatised as “superstitions” (everything from holistic healing to Mayan prophecies). The rise of scientific authority may have paradoxically paved the way for UFO mythology.
A similar change may be happening in the political sphere where the language of critical thinking has been turned against the scientific establishment. In the 1960s, Congress deferred to the Condon Report. Today, conservative politicians regularly challenge ideas like climate change, evolution and the efficacy of vaccines. These dissenters never frame their claims as “anti-science” but rather as courageous examples of free inquiry.
Donald Trump may have been the first candidate to discover that weird ideas are now an asset instead of a liability. In a political climate where the language of reason is used to attack the authority of science, musing over the possibility of UFOs simply doesn’t carry the stigma that it used to.

This is the last image a Japanese satellite sent to study black holes took before it was lost
This is the last image a Japanese satellite sent to study black holes took before it was lost
Earlier this year the Japanese Space Agency sent a $273-million satellite into space to study black holes and other celestial objects. Before being lost, the Satellite gathered data and this is these are some of the images it managed to beam back before eventually falling apart. Earlier this year, Japan launched a revolutionary and expensive satellite called Hitomi with the aim of studying black holes and other mysteries of the universe. In strange circumstances, mission specialists soon lost control over the ship. Now, experts have managed to recover some of the data and finally see what Hitomi found out before its destruction.
Hitomi managed to obtain just three days worth of observations
Earlier this year, Japan launched a revolutionary and expensive satellite called Hitomi with the aim of studying black holes and other mysteries of the universe. In strange circumstances, mission specialists soon lost control over the ship. Now, experts have managed to recover some of the data and finally see what Hitomi found out before its destruction.
The Japanese satellite Hitomi is an X-ray observatory that was launched by the Japanese space, JAXA, last February.
The spacecraft functioned for just over a month before contact was lost.
A series of unfortunate events caused both by human error and software malfunction caused the satellite to begin spinning out of control and despite attempts to recover it, Hitomi continued spewing its remains into space and eventually disintegrate. Ultimately JAXA issued a statement saying their $ 273 million mission was lost.
When Hitomi was destroyed, researchers announced that they had managed to recover a small fraction of satellite data that they would share with the public eventually. Now, some of these data were published in the Journal Nature.
During the satellites short life, Hitomi had enough time to take a look at the Perseus cluster, an enormous group of galaxies gravitationally bound, located about 240 million light-years from Earth, and managed to obtain new data about how giant black holes lurking inside galaxies shape them acting as a kind of “thermostat”.
The Japanese satellite found that the Perseus cluster includes not only ordinary matter to form galaxies, but also an “atmosphere” of hot plasma with a temperature of tens of millions of degrees, and a halo of invisible dark matter.
Previous studies, some of them dating back to the 60s, have shown that each of the galaxies in the cluster- and indeed most of the galaxies in the universe probably contain supermassive black hole at their center.
“These giant black holes are among the most efficient power generators of the Universe, a hundred times more efficient than a nuclear reactor,” says Brian McNamara,a researcher at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo in Canada. “The matter falling into the black hole is torn, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of particles at high speed and thermal energy.”
This heat is eventually released from the event horizon of the black hole, the limit of no return. The matter that remains is absorbed by the black hole, adding to its mass. The energy released heats the surrounding gas, creating bubbles of hot plasma that travel through the group, like air bubbles rising in a glass of champagne.
‘The plasma can be thought of forming an enormous atmosphere that envelopes whole clusters of galaxies,’ he said.
‘These hot atmospheres represent the failure of the past – the failure of the universe to create bigger galaxies.
‘But it’s also the hope for the future. This is the raw material for the future growth of galaxies.
‘It’s the raw material that in the next several billion years is going to make the next generation of suns and solar systems. And how rapidly that happens is governed by the black hole.’
The new research sheds light on the crucial role of hot plasma in galaxy evolution.
When researchers study the formation of the structure of the universe they wonder: why is most of the gas not cooled as stars and galaxies form? The answer seems is in the bubbles created by the outbursts of energy from black holes which keep temperatures too high for such structures take shape.

Filer’s Files # 28 – 2016 Are the Ancient Nephilim our Ancestors - PART I
In special reports, this week’s files cover: Air Force’s Chief Public Relations Officer Says UFOs are Real; Are the Ancient Nephilim our Ancestors? The Missile Defense Agency and Jupiter Promises Surprises.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Virginia.
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena sightings were reported over Argentina, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Indonesia, and Wales 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.

Air Force’s Chief Public Relations Officer Says UFOs are Real
Colonel William T. Coleman is a retired Air Force bomber pilot, former Public Information Officer for Project Blue Book, and Air Force’s Chief Public Relations Officer during the early 1970s. He was also the Producer of a series called “Project UFO” that ran on NBC for two seasons. (1978-79)
In June of 1978, while promoting his new TV show on the Merv Griffin show, Coleman spoke about a UFO sighting he had experienced while a bomber pilot in the fifties. I spoke several times to Colonel Coleman who knew a great deal about UFOs and had chased one over Georgia.
Colman states,
“We were cruising at 10,000 feet when we spotted a target somewhere around 20,000 to 25,000 feet. It was about seven miles in front of us to our right, and we were overtaking it. It then started descending across our flight path, and I decided to check it out. Therefore, I advanced power and began closing a little faster and descending. We kept getting closer and closer and pretty soon we were within a mile of the object, flying over trees at 345 MPH.”
(The plane closed to within an eighth of a mile of the disc-shaped object.) “It was about 60 feet in diameter and 10 or 11 feet thick through the center,” he said. “It had what looked like a titanium-type finish (silver gray). I pulled up and made a hard turn that put it out of sight for roughly for four seconds. We whipped back to pull up alongside of it and it wasn’t there. I zoomed up to 1500 feet. `There it is!’ I said. It was about 2 miles in front of us going across a field leaving a red dusty trail behind it. I guessed its speed at about 170 MPH.” After another dive, the crew lost sight of the object. “We never saw it again.”Thanks to Grant Cameron Website
Note: I spoke with Colonel Colman who was quite convinced UFOs were real and had written a book that was published in Japan in Japanese and was trying to get it cleared to publish in the United States.
Are the Ancient Nephilim our Ancestors?
Colony Earth and the Dolichocephaloids
From Museo De National. Lima, Peru
“Francis Crick, the discoverer of DNA, subscribed to the theory of intelligent design, that our universe was not simply the result of a series of chemical accidents. He states, “Life did not evolve first on Earth, a highly advanced civilization became threatened so they devised a way to pass on their existence.” The Bible refers fourteen times to giants who lived prior to the flood that were called Nephilim, or, as
Genesis, Chapter 6, describes them as those, “Who have come down, from Heaven to Earth and found the women of Earth fair and took them as wives.” Archaeologists and anthropologists have discovered a distinct “race” of people who died off during the last several thousand years, but were leaders in civilizations in Peru, Samaria, Malta, India, Ecuador, and Egypt in the past. Across every habitable continent, completely isolated cultures have practiced skull elongation for thousands of years. New DNA evidence has raised the attention of not only archaeologists, but medical scientists as well.
There are questions whether they represent a pre-human evolutionary lineage, alien intervention, or some unknown civilization. While Noah and his sons were 100% human, we are not told the same about the wives of his three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. What is clear is that one or more of these women were carrying the Nephilim gene. This is the source of the post-flood Nephilim. Nowhere in the Bible is it ever stated that angels once again cohabited with human women.
Possible UFO painting in 17,000 year old French Lascaux Cave
If you make the assumption the UFOs in our skies represent visitors from another world the actual recorded history of mankind starts making more sense. We are provided with a detailed history of cavemen whose advanced technology was art paintings and various flint stone knives and spears. Then suddenly mankind is constructing cities including sophisticated pyramids that engineers claim could not be duplicated today. The Egyptian historical records state the gods called Ptah or Osiris who came to Earth from space gave knowledge to write and build structures was passed onto common people in a master to initiate relationship. These gods are almost always represented as having exceedingly large heads. They taught engineering and religion to the common people. Often serving as priests and kings we discover a race of people with extremely large heads known as Dolichocephaloids.
Ramses II at Abu Simbel’s rock bluff showing elongated heads
It happens the Martian gravity is much less than our own and that a high speed train or aircraft could easily launch into space. It also possible aliens traveled from another planet to Earth. If we assume an expedition arrived from Mars or some other planet 5000 years ago, they would land among cavemen with limited technological ability. Almost overnight metals were mined and forged, pottery was made, crops were planted, and writing, symbols and religion were taught to caveman. Ancient writings repeatedly claim the Gods came from space providing this education.
Mars bluff showing elongated heads of statues
There is plausible logic that Akhenaten was genetically related to the visitors. Assuming the aliens were from Mars or another planet, they would likely bring a belief system, and engineering knowledge with them. On Mars we have located structures such as pyramids, symbols such as Y, E, G,^, on a regular basis. I suggest that these symbols found both on Mars and Earth suggest this knowledge was brought to Earth.
The statue shown at right was found on Mars and shows a strong similarity to Egyptian statues of the Pharaohs. The aliens with greater technological knowledge would certainly become the key leaders in the ancient world probably mating with the natural native leaders. Dolichocephalic skulls may have gradually reduced in size and prominence as intermarriage between the two continued. Royalty through the ages has declared divine right, the right of Kings to even kill their subjects.
The leaders possessing the advanced knowledge are known to us as Wira Kocha, Quetzalcoatl, Yahweh, Kukulcan, Osiris, Sargon of Agade, and Pharaohs such as Akhenaten who believed in one god. These leaders generally claimed the right to lead because they were the children of the gods and had the Divine Right to rule and choose who could live or die. They ordered the, temples, pyramids, and cities to be constructed. These may have had a purpose unknown to us today such as a power station as proposed by mechanical engineer Christopher Dunn who reverse-engineered the Great Pyramid at Giza to discover its use. He claims the Giza Pyramid is a technological remnant of a highly advanced pre-historic civilization? His startling conclusions destroy the traditional Egyptologist notion that it was built with copper tools by a society that lacked the wheel.
Christopher Dunn sees the pyramid as the power source that fueled a great civilization using the technology of harmonic resonance. The author shows how the pyramid’s numerous chambers and passageways were positioned with deliberate precision to maximize its acoustical qualities. This may be the same technology discovered by Nikola Tesla and the solution to our own clean energy needs. I ask where did primitive man suddenly gain the social organization, technology and workmanship to build the pyramids.
Dunn shows proof that giant stones were cut with machined tools and saws
The Island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea has prehistoric temples, some of the most ancient on the planet, which were built to have both astronomical and religious functions. There are also subterranean temples which have certain acoustic properties and some researchers even say could have been portals to other dimensions.
The Austrian artifact collector, Klaus Dona, has been to this island to do research concerning elongated skulls in historical museums on the island. There are also underwater archaeological structures here like a passage way and an arch.
In skull samples taken from Peru, several DNA markers associated with mental capacity showed similar traits to modern humans with IQ’s of over 140. This high intelligence and large size would tend to make these people into natural leaders. These are apparent ancestors that helped improve the human race.
Missile Defense Agency
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is the section of the United States government’sDepartment of Defenseresponsible for developing a layered defense against ballistic missiles. The agency has its origins in theStrategic Defense Initiative which was established in 1983 and was headed by Lt. General James Alan Abrahamson. Under the Strategic Defense Initiative’s Innovative Sciences and Technology Office, headed and engineer Dr. James Lonson, the investment was predominantly made in basic research at national laboratories, universities, and in industry.
These programs have continued to be key sources of funding for top research scientists in high-energy physics, supercomputing/computation, advanced materials, and critical science and engineering disciplines. The current commander is U.S. Navy Vice Admiral James D. Syring. These missiles could also be used to down UFOs and was often referred to as Star Wars. It is interesting to note that when President Reagan announced the program he offered to share it with the Soviet Union.
The Missile Defense Agency’s mission is to develop, test and prepare for deployment of a missile defense system. Using complementary interceptors, land-, sea-, air- and space-based sensors, and battle management command and control systems, the planned missile defense system will be able to engage all classes and ranges of ballistic missile threats. Our programmatic strategy is to develop, rigorously test, and continuously evaluate production, deployment and operational alternatives for the ballistic missile defense system. Missile defense systems being developed and tested by MDA are primarily based on hit-to-kill technology. It has been described as hitting a bullet with a bullet – a capability that has been successfully demonstrated in test after test.
Ballistic Missile Defense Systems (BMDS) must be able to be operated in different regions of the world in order for the success of the MDA mission.
BMDS is shared with key allies and partners. During the Cold War with the Soviet Union they had produced large numbers of ballistic missiles that could strike targets in the US. William Tomkins and other engineers helped develop early Missile Defense Systems that discouraged the Soviet Union from launching an attack.
Ballistic missile systems using advanced liquid- or solid- propellant propulsion are becoming more mobile, accurate and capable of striking targets over longer distances and are proliferating worldwide.
Arrow 3, a joint effort between the U.S. and Israel was launched in January 2014
Iran currently has short- and medium- range missiles with guidance systems. Iran’s launch of a medium range, solid fuel ballistic missile demonstrates its ability to hit targets in Israel and southern Europe. Iran also successfully launched the Safir Space Launch Vehicle on Feb 2, 2009. It was then speculated that development of an ICBM was not far behind. Intelligence reports that a missile could be built sometime between 2010 and 2015 perhaps using help from Russian and North Korean technology.
North Korea currently deploys a Nodong ballistic missile capable of hitting Japan and South Korea, and is developing a new intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) which could reach Guam and the Aleutian Islands. They also successfully demonstrated the staging and separation technologies required to launch a Taepo-Dong 2 ICBM which has the capability to reach the United States. MDA divides its systems into four phases, boost, ascent, mid-course and terminal, each corresponding to a different phase of the threat ballistic missile flight regime. Each phase offers different advantages and disadvantages to a missile defense system. The geography of each defended area dictates the types of systems that can be employed, thus the flexible and layered defense approach concept should improve overall defense effectiveness. The more opportunities you have to shoot it down, the better the chance of success.
The most advanced missile system on the planet can hunt and blast incoming missiles right out of the sky with a 100% success rate — and it appears to be headed to North Korea’s backyard, according to CNN.
On the heels of last month’s purported hydrogen-bomb test and a long-range rocket launch in February, the US has apparently agreed to equip South Korea with
THAAD’s protective range would almost eliminate all threats from North Korea. With its unmatched precision, Lockheed Martin’sTHAAD can equalize tensions around the world with its mobility and strategic battery-unit placement.
In order to deter North Korean provocations and further defend the Pacific region, the Pentagon deployed aTHAAD battery toGuam in April 2013.
However, after the rogue regime’s most recent launch, the US has reportedly agreed to deploy the THAAD to South Korea — which would counter almost all incoming missiles from North Korea.
The pressure to deploy THAAD is rapidly mounting, as US defense officials have cited North Korean missile developments that are attempting to build intercontinental missiles that could reach the United States.
In October, Admiral Bill Gortney, commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, assessed that North Korean has “the capability to reach the [US] homeland with a nuclear weapon from a rocket,” Discussions to equip South Korea with THAAD were held during South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s visit to the White House last October. The Korean Defense minister Han Min-koo said THAAD would be under the operational control of the USFK Seventh Air Force and the South Korean air force. THAAD’s Missiles
Activities are categorized in five “blocks”. For example, block 4.0 is “Defend Allies and Deployed Forces in Europe from Limited Iranian Long-Range Threats and Expand Protection of U.S. Homeland”. It included theUS missile defense complex in Poland to be constructed, and the European Mid-course Radar (EMR) currently located at the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site at Kwajalein Atoll, which was to be modified and relocated to the Czech Republic. That plan, however, was scrapped by the Obama administration on September 17, 2009. Thanks to Missile Defense Agency.
Jupiter Promises Surprises
This photo of Jupiter was taken on September 20, 2010 when Jupiter made its closest approach to Earth since 1963. (Uranus [insert] was visible through telescopes near Jupiter.).Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Fittingly, it was named after the king of the gods in Roman mythology. Jupiter helped revolutionize the way we saw the universe and ourselves in 1610, when Galileo discovered Jupiter’s four large moons — Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, now known as the Galilean moons that may house various forms of life. This was the first time celestial bodies were seen circling an object other than Earth, major support of the Copernican view that Earth was not the center of the universe.
Jupiter is the most massive planet in our solar system, more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined, and had it been about 80 times more massive, it would have actually become a star instead of a planet. Its atmosphere resembles that of the sun, made up mostly of hydrogen and helium, and with four large moons and many smaller moons in orbit around it, Jupiter by itself forms a kind of miniature solar system. All told, the immense volume of Jupiter could hold more than 1,300 Earths. Thanks to Jimmy Eubanks

Sightings in the United States
Arizona Triangle
Phoenix – It was about 10:30 PM, and it started to storm. I had been watching clips of UFO’s forming in storms so that’s what had glued my eyes to the skies, like I always do to look for such things. A fireball or glowing object appeared and hovered. This was the first time in 40 years I had seen such a sight. I followed the ball outside in the storm and filmed until it disappeared. A half hour later my girl and I witnessed more of the same craft appearing and then floating west. The craft have appeared nightly from June 26, to July1, 2016 so far. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Arkansas Light
Berryville — I was at a location performing duties for my job which included taking photos of subject properties on June 6, 2016. I took 16 photos of various subjects at this location and noticed that there was an object above a building in one of the photos after I had left the location.
It did not appear to be an airplane or any known aircraft. After noticing this object in the photo, I isolated the object in a photo editor and filtered the image to gain some perspective about what was in the photo. It appears to be an unidentifiable object. I did not notice this object when I was at this location but do know that there was no noise as one would expect with an airplane, helicopter, etc. Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Light
Acton — My husband and I were taking the dogs out on July 3’rd 2016 at 9:30 p.m. when we saw just South of us by the Angeles Crest Forest a very bright white light growing in intensity and then dimming. My husband saw it first and called me out excitedly to see it. We scrambled around for our video recorders but batteries were dead. We did manage to take some long exposure pictures with our manual camera, which does not show the shape but captures the movement patterns as well as the intensity of the light. No shape was apparent until my husband viewed it through his infrared night vision scope. It was a Saturn-shaped craft that appeared translucent with tentacle-like ‘legs’ similar to a jellyfish. Its surface was dull lead grey but also cloud-like at times. There were three round lights on the craft. It was 500 feet from us, and lower than any plane but then moved higher and farther away. It had no path, bouncing around, up, down, sideways, circular, and hovering. All while this intense white light grew larger and brighter, then slowly died down. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Connecticut Lights
Wolcott — A couple was outside relaxing on their porch and noticed some fireworks July 2, 2016. They then noticed several groups of high flying yellow-red-orange objects flying rapidly to the southeast. The objects would appear and vanish in groups of two to four. Fifteen silent objects were seen in a twenty-minute period. Several photos were taken in the clear skies. The objects emitted constant light. The witnesses were familiar with helicopters and local air traffic and said that the objects were very different.
Note: A check of winds aloft showed that winds were from the Northwest in the lower 5,000 feet of the atmosphere at speeds of up to 30 MPH. The witnesses said that surface winds were very light. The movement of the objects would be consistent with flotation devices. The witnesses did not believe that the objects were Chinese lanterns. Thanks to William Puckett, Director Website
Hawaii Light
Honolulu –– I was sitting on a beach in Hawaii at 10 PM, just looking up at the beautiful night sky as I do often. On June 26, 2016, at about 70 degrees in the horizon over the ocean I saw a green flashing light moving in the sky. I watched it for a few minutes just assuming it was an airplane, but when it started to change direction abruptly I started to film it. I became more and more shocked at what I was seeing. There was a green flashing light, not like any green I’ve ever seen on any airplane moving in a western direction.
Then it started to move back to the east with very abrupt movements. The video appears as if I’m moving the camera, but I am not, it is the object that is moving around so radically. It made a sudden switch to a red quickly flashing light from green. It was jetting around in the sky like nothing I’ve ever seen before and finally disappeared into the Eastern Sky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Light
Wauconda — I was waiting for the fireworks to start on July 3, 2016, and I was looking around and something caught my eye to the left. I looked and I noticed objects floating through the sky so I picked my phone up and started filming. The reddish glowing object did not move in a straight pattern. I was not scared at all and I thought it was cool. I thought they were a fleet of UFOs and they just disappeared. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Maryland Triangle Close Encounter
Edgewater — The sighting happened a few miles south of Annapolis, MD on the early morning hours of Wednesday June 29th 2016. I had taken a vacation to Ocean City and left to go back home. I headed south on Route 2, and when I got past Edgewater I saw a very bright light in the sky. I at first thought it was a planet shining brightly, but looked more like a forward facing search light with some smaller lights around it. I kept watching low light and kept losing it behind the tree line. When I got closer to the light I saw two glowing balls of light come out of the bottom, drop down and fly off. Another ball of light dropped from the craft. I kept getting closer to the craft until I got directly under it and pulled off the road to look. It was only about 500 feet high, silent, air and took off at a high rate of speed. The craft looked like a triangle about 50-75 feet across with a large searchlight at the front and small lights at the corners facing down. I have lived near the Patuxent River Naval Air Station my entire life, where they test aircraft, and I can identify aircraft but have never seen a craft like that before. NOTE: The above image is CGI. Thanks to Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
New Mexico Disc
Deming — My partner and I were driving Route I10 from Las Cruces to Lordsburg and spotted three bright lights in the sky at about 9 pm.
They formed a triangle – the brightest was the one to the left. Around half an hour later, we noticed that they hadn’t moved at all. We first noticed the lights as they were very bright noticing them, as they weren’t appearing to move. We didn’t know what they were. We were on holiday in America from the UK taking photos of cool road signs. We were joking that it might be aliens as I was zooming in. When I got a better look at the zoomed photo, I got a shiver and started shaking. It looked like they had flames or trails coming from them. The two less bright lights seemed to blink off and the last and brightest one shot straight up into the air at speed. Thanks to MUFON CMS
New Jersey Disc
Sea Isle City – I was heading out on my boat and was taking a picture of the sunrise on June 14, 2016.
The object was over the bay and saw it through my phone camera. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Objects
Miamisburg — I love to be outside on my porch and we are on the flight path of some aircraft heading into Dayton Airport and Wright Patterson Air Force Base. I used to fly when I could. On June 23, 2016, I was outside looking at the stars and saw what I thought was an inbound aircraft, It had a red light on the right like a directional light. As a white light was to the left of the red one, I thought landing light immediately, but soon realized that it was not near bright enough. I noticed the flight path was way too low and it got really close and stopped.The white light moved slightly left, appeared to get stringy, then moved up and down rapidly making the actual shape hard to determine. I am hollering for my son to come and he sees it make a straight line exit speeding up as it went. I was trying desperately to get pictures with no luck. The neighbor guys were sitting in their car while the craft was going almost over top of them. I asked if they saw that? He says, ” you mean that there? ” Yep it came back, flew straight and level, stopped , reversed direction and looked like it was sort of leaving a vapory string behind as it went. But the leading spot got laser red as it increased in speed. It was surreal.
Later, on July 2, 2016, in the far distance I see a red light starting to form a shape as it goes from far left to the right. They begin to travel to a distant point as they disappeared.There were some small white lights as well. I took a picture as they faded. At 11:17 pm, a white light was closer and higher up, so I take a picture but it disappeared quickly. My son asked me,why is it green? Then it came to me, some lights are incandescent some are mercury vapor. In the one photo, it may just be me, but I think I see counter rotation happening. When I took the photo all I saw was a white light momentarily move quickly and to the right and out.I believe it captures a transformation of matter or light itself into a cloaking phase shift.

Oregon Lights
Eugene– At 9:45 PM, on June 18, 2016, watching TV in Living room. To the right of my TV is my vaulted ceiling Dorm window. A super bright solid orange oval passes right through the window frame. A second exact same thing goes pass the window. Sure enough there was more coming from the west over the house tops. I ran back inside and pulled my wife out to see. She saw two coming at us from the west still in our direction. They were all in line and beginning to turn away towards as they neared. I asked my wife to get her cell as were still coming from the west toward us. I grabbed her phone and held the camera up way high as it flew above the trees. The shot is attached. I went back outside and my neighbor and his daughter was coming and also saw the objects as well. I called Eugene Police and 911 and asked both if anyone else reported anything. They said no.

Texas Object
I was out at the outdoor gun range 10:30 pm, I was able to see the type of cloud cover from the UFO appearing under the cloud. No sound, just a huge white circle of light at least two football fields across. It looked like a giant light bulb. This month was the first time ever it rained every day in Dallas and Fort Worth, this was history making. I stood there looking at it thinking I am getting ready to see what no one else has ever seen. It was going to come by me very close. I was going to be able to see the front and back. I was able to see it for five seconds then the light it went off, I looked down and saw a light on the ground in front of me. I realized they saw me. I left my head light on which was on top of my cap. I was even then more aggrieved at myself. Once I got to my camera I then said—Listen to this: ok you owe me for what you did two nights ago. I know you brought in the clouds so I could not see the moon. The next thing the cloud cover started opening up and I said I need five minutes I then took my camera and started taping the moon. I realized it was time for me to go. I am very Lucky to have been able to see that UFO very lucky. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Virginia Lights
Fredericksburg — I was on my break at work on July 5, 2016, and was looking at the clouds before the storm. I took a picture and there was a background that appeared to be four balls of light just sitting there. I captured the photo on my cell phone. I took my phone down and nothing was there. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Object
Ephrata– I just started taking pictures and the object appeared on May 24, 2016.

Worldwide UFO Sightings
Family Photo of an Alien Craft over Argentina
La Rinconada — The members of a family from Cutral Co claim having been able to see an unidentified flying object (UFO) for fleeting seconds not far from Junín de los Andes on February 9,-2016. They took photographs of the event, which frightened them. The Cutral Co al Instante web portal conveyed the statements made by Verónica, one of the protagonists of the incredible story. She stopped on the banks of the Collon Cura River. Verónica says that she took a photo of a group of bikers crossing the bridge when she saw the strange object in the sty. “I screamed; everyone looked and we saw it some 50 meters away, for an instant, just when I took the photo. After that, it was no longer there,”she explained. Their initial reaction was to run and get into the car. “We took off immediately. We shut everything because it truly frightened us,” said the resident of Cutral Co, who shared the photo that went viral over the weekend through social media. Ken Pfeifer MUFON NJ Website
Australia Light Triangle
Mount Sheila — I had just left my room and was walking to work when in front of me something moving in the sky caught my eye. I observed three lights the size of stars moving in a southerly direction in formation at about half the speed of what a plane would travel at cruising altitude. The three lights were approaching a single star so I double checked to see which lights were moving by identifying the positions of the nearby stars and building structures that were in my view. I could confirm that the three lights were moving and the single star, nearby stars and the building was stationary.
I stopped walking and continued to observe the three lights for several seconds as they passed over the single star. The single star remained visible as the triangle of three lights passed over it. About ten seconds later the three lights dimmed out until I could no longer see them in the sky any more. This further confirmed that the three lights were moving independently in the sky. The sky was black with nil cloud cover with bright stars. I continued to look upwards in the same direction every now and then as I walked to my car and didn’t see it any longer. The photo attached is from a Google search but is exactly what I saw. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Sphere and Triangle
Surrey, BC— Work colleague observed this object while traveling to work via a sky train line from Surrey on June 26, 2016.
I do not believe the UFO was visible by naked eye and only appeared on Android device Camera. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Marten Falls/Ogoki Post — I’m 24 and my two friends were just sitting outside of my house having a smoke, when one of my friends noticed it. He asked me “Do you know what that is? I replied, “Yes it’s a UFO with three white lights at each corner of the triangle.” As it flew over my house, I was in awe, excited, and amazed. I knew now we weren’t alone. The UFO just hovered overhead and made no noise at all. I chased it to the top of the hill and had sight of it until went into a cloud and disappeared. The cloud was not even that big. I watch Ancient Aliens and Hangar 1 UFO files and where I am located there is mining sites not too far from here. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Czech Republic Object
Boskovice — I found these objects recently when looking back on photos from a trip to the Czech Republic last year. I do not remember whether or not I was aware of the objects while the photos were taken, but I do seem to remember thinking they were quite odd.
They could have been birds, or perhaps foreign objects on the lens, but all pictures before and after do not have any such objects, and the passage of time in between the photos would suggest that these objects were not birds or known aircraft. The town where these photos were taken has some history of ufos and the paranormal, including a crop circle that appeared in 2014. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Germany Disc
Schöngeising – On July 2, 2016, as I was hiking the lands, I have seen an UFO next to the Electrosmog-tower.
The tower is there to activate chemtrails. I see UFOs there, sometimes! Please help me! Thanks to MUFON CMS
Indonesia Object
Tanjung, Billiton Island,–This photo comes from my friend when she took a picture of a total solar eclipse in Indonesia on March 9, 2016.
I saw something in conjunction with the position of the moon covering the sun. The object was something that is round. Who can help me explain the phenomenon or whether it is a hot-air balloon or UFO? Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/North Wales Triangle
Tywyn — I have seen the most bizarre thing this afternoon over Tywyn in Gwynnedd, North Wales on July 6, 2016. We regularly see RAF and US jets training in the mountains and valleys here during the working week, and they frequently fly something called the ‘Mach Loop’ that is a well known circuit they follow.
However, today at 12:30 pm, we heard this weird humming noise in the sky almost like electro static energy or a sub-station would make. We look out over the sea and saw this weird looking triangle shaped craft. It was moving slowly about 5-10 mph about 200 meters off the coast like just to the south of Tywyn off the beach moving in a northern direction. I was walking my dogs in the sand dunes at the time. Now I am ex RAF and I have a very good knowledge of all military aircraft, but I have never seen anything like this. It was no drone or UAV and was the size of a RAF Typhoon fighter jet. As it moved up the coastline, it dropped two bright red colored glowing spheres down into the sea and they disappeared. I quickly got this shot on my iPhone of the craft as it moved off and just after I took this image. It stopped in mid air, moved upwards and then just disappeared. I called the coastguard, but they said nothing had been reported. I think this was a UFO because it was certainly nothing the Americans or we have in terms of military aircraft. It was intelligently controlled. My wife and I saw this as well as two other dog walkers’ one of which called the local police to report it. I definitely thing this is a UFO or something not from this world. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Wetenschappers aan de universiteit van Harvard hebben een robot ontwikkeld die hen meer inzicht moet verschaffen in de werking van het menselijk hart. De kunstmatige pijlstaartrog, die slechts een tiende zo groot is als de echte vis, beweegt zich voort dankzij hartcellen van een rat.
De wetenschappers hopen dat de robot nieuwe inzichten zal verschaffen in de manier waarop het hart bloed rondpompt en wat hartfalen kan veroorzaken.
"Het blijkt dat het spierstelsel van de pijlstaatrog hetzelfde moet doen als het hart: het moet vloeistoffen rondpompen," vertelt professor Kevin Kit Parker, die het onderzoek aan Harvard leidt.
Het team analyseerde en ontleedde de vis om te begrijpen hoe hij zich voortbeweegt in water. Vervolgens bouwden ze dit prototype, dat een gouden skelet heeft, omgeven door een laag van 200.000 hartcellen die verpakt zijn in een gelachtig materiaal dat vergelijkbaar is met de gel die gebruikt wordt voor borstimplantaten.
De kleine, synthetische pijlstaartrog weegt tien gram en is 1,6 centimeter lang.
De hartcellen werden genetisch gemanipuleerd zodat ze zouden reageren op licht. "Als we licht voor de rog houden, activeren we een elektrisch signaal in het weefsel en dat beweegt zich als een golf door het spierstelsel," aldus professor Parker. "Je krijgt een golfbeweging in de vinnen en het lijkt alsof [de rog, red.] het licht volgt."
Iedere helft van de robot is samengesteld uit verschillende hartcellen die gevoelig zijn aan specifieke lichtgolflengtes.
Aan de hand van de gekozen golflengte zijn de wetenschappers in staat om de robot in een bepaalde richting te bewegen.
De onderzoekers hopen dat de robotrog kan helpen om de fysiologie van het hart te begrijpen. "Op basis van onze handboeken fysiologie gaan we ervan uit dat een hart bij elke slag hetzelfde klopt," vertelt Parker aan de BBC. "Maar als je met cardiovasculaire chirurgen praat, dan zouden ze je zeggen 'nee, het klopt altijd anders'."
Hetzelfde laboratorium ontwikkelde eerder al een artificiële kwal.
Een internationaal team van astronomen heeft een nieuwe dwergplaneet ontdekt in de buitenste regionen van ons zonnestelsel. Het object van ruwweg 700 kilometer groot, tot een echte naam is bepaald aangeduid als RR245, maakt deel uit van de gordel 'ijsklompen' ver voorbij Neptunus.
De ontdekking is gedaan met de telescoop op de vulkaan Mauna Kea op Hawaii. "De ijswerelden voorbij Neptunus geven een beeld van hoe de reuzenplaneten zijn gevormd en daarna van de zon af bewogen. Ze helpen ons de geschiedenis van ons zonnestelsel te reconstrueren. Maar al die ijzige objecten zijn erg klein en vaag. Daarom is het zo opwindend er een te vinden die groot en helder genoeg is om in detail te bestuderen'', zei de Canadese astronoom Michele Bannister.
RR245 staat tot wel 120 keer verder van de zon dan de aarde en beschrijft een sterk elliptische baan, die de komende jaren precies wordt berekend. Dan wordt ook meer duidelijk over het oppervlak en de samenstelling. Van de tot dusver bekende dwergplaneten zijn Pluto en Eris de grootsten.
STERRENKUNDE De ruimtetelescoop Hubble is er voor het eerst in geslaagd een foto te maken van de binnenzijde van de Krabnevel. De nevel bestaat uit de spectaculaire restanten van een supernova op zo'n 6.500 lichtjaren van onze aarde.
Zo'n duizend jaar geleden explodeerde er een ster in de constellatie Taurus (Stier). Het licht was zo helder dat het wekenlang zelfs overdag zichtbaar was.
In de loop der jaren zwakte het licht af en intussen is het enkel nog met een telescoop waarneembaar. Maar de overblijfselen van de supernova vormen wel een van de meest spectaculaire objecten in onze Melkweg: de Krabnevel.
Regenboog
In de kern van de nevel bevindt zich een neutronenster - dat is een ster in het eindstadium van zijn leven - die liefst 30 keer per seconde roteert. Daardoor blaast de dode ster nog steeds leven in de materie eromheen. De Hubble-foto brengt dat op indrukwekkende wijze in beeld.
De buitengewone foto is samengesteld uit drie hogeresolutiebeelden. De snelle bewegingen van de gassen rond de ster zijn zichtbaar als een regenboog van kleuren. "Dat effect ontstaat door de beweging van het materiaal in de periode tussen één beeld en een ander", staat te lezen in een persbericht.

Complottheoreticus die in gedaanteverwisselende aliens gelooft staat in Australië voor uitverkochte zalen
Complottheoreticus die in gedaanteverwisselende aliens gelooft staat in Australië voor uitverkochte zalen
David Icke is momenteel in Australië, waar hij voor uitverkochte zalen vertelt dat 9/11 een inside job was en dat de maan een ruimtestation is. In gesprek met News.com.au stelt de 64-jarige Icke dat de aanslagen in 2001 in New York onderdeel waren van een groot plan om het volk onder controle te houden.
Hij meent dat de aanslagen zijn uitgevoerd door de Amerikaanse overheid om de oorlog tegen terrorisme te kunnen rechtvaardigen. “Hoeveel mensen weten dat op dezelfde dag, op 11 september 2001, militaire oefeningen werden gehouden waarbij vliegtuigen werden gekaapt en in een gebouw in Washington werden gevlogen?” vroeg Icke.
Verslaafd aan technologie
Toen werd gemeld dat bij het World Trade Center een paspoort van een kaper was gevonden, wist hij zeker dat het hele gebeuren in scène was gezet. “De FBI had een paspoort van één van de kapers gevonden naast één van de Twin Towers,” zei hij. “Dat is te belachelijk voor woorden. Een paspoort bestaat uit papier. Zie je die vuurbal?”
Toen Icke zijn Worldwide Wake Up Tour zaterdag begon in Perth, sprak hij uitvoerig over slimme technologie. “Waar we op den duur naartoe gaan is dat er technologie in ons lichaam wordt geïmplanteerd,” vertelde hij aan News.com.au. “Het eerste stadium: maak mensen verslaafd aan technologie die ze kunnen vasthouden. Stadium twee: draagbare technologie. Google Glass, smartwatches. Stadium drie: implantaten.”
Geprogrammeerd
Die implantaten kunnen volgens Icke worden gebruikt om het menselijk brein te beïnvloeden. Dat gebeurt volgens hem overigens al vanaf onze geboorte. “Je komt uit de baarmoeder en gelijk wordt je perceptie beïnvloed door je ouders, die al hun hele leven in het systeem hebben geleefd,” zei hij. “En al snel kom je in een systeem terecht waarin autoriteiten bepalen wat je kunt eten, wanneer je ergens naartoe mag, wanneer je mag spreken en wat echt is en wat niet.”
Je wordt als het ware geprogrammeerd, aldus Icke. En als je buiten de gebaande paden treedt, ben je vreemd of eng. Hij zegt geregeld te horen te krijgen dat mensen hem vreemd vinden. Dat weerhoudt hem er echter niet van om zijn boodschap te blijven verspreiden. Meer informatie over zijn tour is te vinden op www.theworldwidewakeup.com.
ONBEKEND OBJECT KOMT ATMOSFEER AARDE BINNEN (VIDEO)
ONBEKEND OBJECT KOMT ATMOSFEER AARDE BINNEN (VIDEO)
Afgezien van alle andere misschien nuttige zaken die worden uitgevoerd in het ISS, het internationale ruimtestation, zijn de opnames van daaruit ook vaak interessant.
Zo werd er deze week een onbekend object vastgelegd dat zich richting aarde bewoog en op het moment dat het object halt hield, deed NASA de camera uit.
Het is wederom de bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1 die weer eens iets bijzonders heeft geconstateerd.
Dit keer is het een opname gemaakt door de camera’s op het ISS, waarbij heel duidelijk zichtbaar een vreemd onbekend object afdaalt richting de atmosfeer van de aarde.
Misschien is het object dat uit de ruimte neerdaalt richting aarde niets bijzonders; wie weet is het een meteoriet of een Chinese satelliet of iets dergelijks.
Zoals te zien in de video, stopt het object op een gegeven moment met de afdaling. Dat is natuurlijk vreemd, maar niet alleen dat, op het moment dat het object stopt of lijkt te stoppen, verbreekt NASA de verbinding en krijgen kijkers een mededeling voorgeschoteld dat ze problemen hebben met de verbinding.
Gezien alle eerdere pogingen van NASA om zaken vanuit het ISS verborgen te houden, vermoeden wij dat het hier toch om iets meer gaat dan alleen een meteoriet.
GELUIDSOPNAME VAN ONTMOETING TURKSE BEMANNING BOEING 737 MET UFO
GELUIDSOPNAME VAN ONTMOETING TURKSE BEMANNING BOEING 737 MET UFO
Er zijn opgeteld vele waarnemingen gemeld van UFO's door professionele cockpitbemanningen.
Vaak gaat het dan om verklaringen die verder niet ondersteund worden door beeld of geluid van het moment van de gebeurtenis. Als dat er wel is dan is daarmee eigenlijk uitgesloten dat er misinterpretaties zijn.
De waarneming van de piloten van Turkish Airlines was echter een dag later, op 20 mei 2016 tijdens een vlucht met een Boeing 737 van Bodrum naar Istanboel.
Op een hoogte van 17.000 voet rapporteerden beide vliegers een groen licht dat hun baan kruiste en met een hoogteverschil van een paar duizend voet over hen heen vloog. Het voorval gebeurde rond half twaalf ’s nachts toen het vliegtuig bezig was met de nadering van het vliegveld van Istanboel.
Wat de waarneming bijzonder maakt is dat beide vliegers dit zagen en dat beiden zeiden dat ze vermoedden dat ze te maken hadden met een UFO.
Dat is iets wat in Turkije kennelijk wel kan. Daar kunnen piloten klaarblijkelijk gewoon vertellen wat ze zien, zonder dat ze bang hoeven zijn om hun baan kwijt te raken. Dit zien we KLM piloten voorlopig nog niet doen.
De verkeersleiding zegt echter niets op de radarschermen te hebben gezien op die bewuste avond.
Wat ze die avond precies zagen, is te zien in de volgende reconstructie.
Volgens een aantal bronnen is de volgende video een originele geluidsopname tussen de bemanning van de Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 met registratie TC-JHD en de verkeerstoren op het moment dat ze de UFO rapporteren.
Alhoewel de officiële voertaal in de luchtvaart Engels is, wordt er waarschijnlijk in alle opwinding Turks gesproken waardoor het geheel iets minder goed te verstaan is.
Maar, waar het om gaat, is dat we hier bewijs hebben dat een professionele bemanning van een verkeersvliegtuig dingen ziet vliegen in de lucht die er officieel niet horen te zijn.
Just an amazing eyewitness testimony about a Karl Wolfe having seen with his own eyes structure on Earths moon. The buildings he describes match a lot of the structures that UFO researchers have been finding and reporting to the public over the years. Especially interesting is the mushroom-like buildings. Yeah...how much evidence is enough? How many eyewitnesses is enough? What status does the eyewitness have to be to be enough for the world to believe? Presidents have seen UFOs and given their testimonies, astronauts have done it too. So, is there a Schwarzschild radius for disclose? Scott C. Waring www.ufosightingsdaily.com UFO Case Book States:
The following account has been addressed several times before, and I have had it in my notes for quite some time. The recent interest in the Space program, and questions about our future goals in space have caused me to dust it off. I believe it will be of interest to our viewers. This extraordinary story comes to us from one Karl Wolfe. Wolfe worked for the Director of Intelligence at Headquarters Tactical Air Command, Technical Group. The fantastic events explained here occurred while he was stationed at Langley Field, Virginia. Langley Field was center for information received from the Lunar Orbiter Project. Satellite receivers from around the world waited for information from the Orbiter, and it was then channeled to Langley, where the information was transformed into photographic images, and other top-secret data. The photographic imaging was done at a secure military lab ran by NSA. In an interview for UFO magazine, Wolfe asserted that he was one of only two technicians at Langley with high enough security clearance to work with the high-tech photographic equipment which processed info from U-2 spy planes, and other military intelligence hardware. Wolfe, in his own words: ... At any rate, I was in a color lab one day when my boss, Staff Sergeant Taylor, came over to me and said that they were having a problem with some equipment on the base an it was the first lunar orbiter program, where thy had a mission to pretty much locate the first landing sites for the 1969 lunar mission for the astronauts. So he said they were having some problem with equipment over there. it was similar equipment to what we had- it was computerized contact printing equipment. He wanted to know if I would go over and take a look at it. He said to me, It's an NSA facility. At the time, I didn't Know what the NSA was--I was pretty naive. I thought he said NASA. So in my mind, for a long time I thought it was a NASA facility that I had gone to, but I remembered him saying NSA and converting it in my own mind to NASA... Wolfe claims that one day when NSA photographic equipment failed, he was called in to assist them with the critical repair work needed to keep the machines on the job. Coincidentally, Wolfe was the only individual available at the time trained in the type of equipment that had failed. He normally would be crossing lines by venturing into NSA territory. His security clearance status was raised to enable him to even enter the highly secure laboratory. Wolfe's heart raced as he entered the here-to-fore forbidden hangar that day, and he was shocked to see the frantic activity in the lab, activities carried out by individuals of many different nations. Wolfe had naturally thought that only American citizens would be in the NASA lab, but there were many individuals with guest name tags on, and obviously from foreign countries present this day, inferring that they were there on a temporary basis for some special occasion. He felt a sense of panic as to his mission. Whatever he was called in for was of the utmost importance. He was told that the equipment in question was in a nearby dark room. As he was led into the room, only the red glow of a safety light greeted him at first, but in a moment, he could make out the figure of one airman who manned the dark room. Wolfe knew that the image processing equipment would have to be removed to be repaired, and he also knew that the diagnostics on this type of equipment would take some time to finish. Arrangements were quickly made for the photographic equipment to be taken to another secure location for Wolfe to begin the painstaking task of troubleshooting the problem. As Wolfe waited for transport to arrive, he began to chat with the other airman. Wolfe carefully asked why the NASA work was being done at Langley and not NASA in Houston. It was then that he was told that all of the NASA image information was downloaded to Langley, enhanced and made into the finished photographs that were then studied by different branches of the Armed Forces. The dark room attendant began to explain to Wolfe just what all the secrecy was about. Wolfe was told that recent enhanced images had surprisingly, yet clearly shown structures on the surface of the dark side of the Moon. Structures that definitely were not created by natural means, such as meteors, or ancient collisions with other heavenly bodies. The structures were created by intelligent beings. "We discovered," the airman said, "a base of the back side of the Moon." Wolfe was obviously stunned by this extraordinary disclosure. He remembers literally "shaking" trying to take in the enormity of what he had been told. Seeing Wolfe's disbelief, the dark room attendant continued; "Yes, a base on the dark side of the Moon." Although the attendant had not actually said that the structures were not created by inhabitants of Earth, it seemed to go without saying. Wolfe was still in amazement as he was now looking down at the very photographs he was trying to envision in his mind. Bending down under the red glowing lamp, he was seeing what so very few would see. He could clearly make out geometric shapes, well organized, and well designed. Most noticeable to him were what looked exactly like radar antennas, very similar to what one could see on Earth. There was no doubt now in Wolfe's mind why the odd complement of scientists and investigators were in attendance at this place on this day. They had arrived to see and study what he was looking at now; structures made by intelligent beings on the Moon. Questions flooded his mind now; Could Russia have made these structures, putting the first flag on the lunar surface? Could this be a joint venture of some kind? If so, by whom? Americans and aliens? Whomever was the creator, Wolfe felt like he had been caught stealing, or with his hand in the cookie jar. He was NOT supposed to see these photographs. He could be arrested, or worse. He just wanted to do his job, leave, and never mention it again. Wolfe did finish the job he was commissioned to do, keeping the memories of that day dormant in his mind, and went on with his life. Wolfe, however, was haunted by the images he saw that day for many years to come. After he left the active service, his security clearance prohibited him from leaving the United States for five years, and he was sworn to keep what he had seen to himself. It would be thirty years before he told anyone about that unforgettable day. For the year that Wolfe saw the remarkable structures on the dark side of the Moon was 1965, four years before Neil Armstrong put the first footprint on the lunar surface. Or was it the first?
With the economic crisis and daily challenging obligations that take most people’s time, money, and energy, the average person is not that concerned about extraterrestrials and UFOs. However, if more attention was paid to the topic, the public may be intrigued over the relevance of the topic to the world affairs. As a matter of fact, humans would be probably shocked to uncover the misconceptions that have been spread about them intentionally.
Spotted and recorded by a security guard in Alaska, the four-minute footage shows a large brightly-glowing light flying in the clear night. The strange object glows brightly and then fades, later on, flashing before turning orange. Before it disappeared, the object fragments and a there is an appearance of a circular light zooming out. Halfway through the clip, the primary circular light divides into three smaller objects to form a perfectly shaped triangle. People who saw the object were left flabbergasted due to its odd apparition effects that are apparent in the sky.
According to one YouTube user Mike Samoyloff, the strange object looked drone at the first phase. However, as it gets closer, it appeared something different. William Cleary added that such object looks similar to the object seen in Colorado, US. The strange flashing object seems to be an odd star. Even before this sighting occurred, sightings of UFOs are very much common in secluded areas like mountainous regions of Colorado and Alaska since low light pollution makes the night sky very easy to observe.
As sightings continue to rise, and questions increase, just know that truth is always around to this worldwide phenomena. The more you are serious about this subject, the more you will realize that more and more people saw the same things, but due to lack of resources, timing or other circumstances, they were not able to get clear resolutions.
Child Witness Speaks Up About Zimbabwe UFO Encounter
Child Witness Speaks Up About Zimbabwe UFO Encounter
On September 16, 1994, one of the most popular UFO encounters involving a group of children had taken place. On the outskirts of the Zimbabwe capital, around 60 children ages from 5 to 12 years were playing outside their school building when they noticed a giant spaceship and a group of smaller craft over them.
When the spacecraft landed on one of the sides of their playground, the children claimed to have seen strange beings from the ships which approached them. The children estimated the entire encounter lasted approximately 15 minutes.
One of those children was a young student named Emily Trim. She was at the Ariel primary school close to the town of Ruwa in the country. Until today, Emily says the incident still affects her. Emily stated that she was just a few feet away from the strange beings, which she believed gave her messages.
She has been making painting and drawing of images that she believes manifestations of messages she acquired.
Emily recalled that she was playing with other schoolchildren during recess when they heard a high pitch frequency sound. They then saw a flash and a craft. Two beings were reportedly hopping along beside Emily and her friend Lisa. These entities looked curious and somewhat mimicked them.
All of a sudden, they were in front of the children – about arm’s reach. The children were frozen, and Emily claimed that telepathic images began across her face. She described the encounter as communication through the eyes.

The Pleurobot is a salamander-inspired robot that can walk and swim like an amphibian.

With the help of X-ray videos, scientists have developed a new robot that mimics the way salamanders walk and swim.
The amphibious machine could shed light on the evolutionary leap that vertebrates made from the water to the land, the researchers said. The salamander-inspired robot could also one day be used for search-and-rescue missions or inspection operations, the scientists added.
In general, scientists investigate animal locomotion for insights that could, among other things, help people recover from devastating losses of mobility, said study senior author Auke Ijspeert, a bioroboticist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. [The 6 Strangest Robots Ever Created]
Increasingly, scientists are creating robot copies of animals to perform such investigations of animal locomotion. One of the benefits of using robots is that the machines' actions are relatively easy to repeat, Ijspeert and his colleagues said. In addition, researchers can tinker with robot shapes in a methodical way, and the bots can perform movements that are unnatural or dangerous for animals, the scientists added.
The researchers focused on salamanders to shed light on the evolution of animal locomotion. "Salamanders have a body structure that is very close to the fossils of the first terrestrial vertebrates — that is, the first animals that switched from swimming to walking," Ijspeert told Live Science.
To create robo-salamanders, the researchers began by studyingPleurodeles waltl, a salamander about 7 inches (18 centimeters) long that moves both on land and in the water. The scientists took X-ray videos of two P. waltl specimens from the top and sides, tracking up to 64 points along the skeletons of the salamanders as they performed a variety of motions, such as walking on the ground, crawling underwater and even swimming.
The scientists then used a 3D printer to manufacture the skeleton of the robot. Onto this machine, they added 27 motors and a waterproof dry suit that was tailor-made to keep the robots' electronics from getting wet.
The so-called Pleurobot has fewer bones and joints than real-life salamanders. For instance, whereas the real amphibian has 40 vertebrae, the robot has only 11 segments along its spine mimicking vertebrae. [Super-Intelligent Machines: 7 Robotic Futures]
Still, the researchers said Pleurobot could imitate many salamander movements, especially at the limbs. This is because during the design of Pleurobot, the research team's computer models identified the minimum number of motorized segments needed to copy salamander motions, as well as the optimal placement of these parts along the robot's body.
The researchers have built salamander robots before. However, "what excites me most about Pleurobot is that for the first time we can test behaviors with a physical body that has the ability to move like the real animal, as never before," Ijspeert said.
"The robot can serve as a scientific tool to investigate how a newer mode of locomotion, walking with limbs, can be added to an older mode of locomotion, swimming," Ijspeert said. "Like the real salamander, the robot is able to perform both modes of locomotion. Both involve body undulations, but with different properties. During swimming, the undulations travel along the body like in lampreys and eels, with limbs folded backwards, while during walking, they stay in place and are well-coordinated with the limb movements in order to optimize forward speed."
In addition to providing insights on the evolution of animal locomotion, Pleurobot may also show how robots can move well in disorderly environments, Ijspeert said. "With improved control and sturdier mechanics, I hope to see Pleurobot helping in search-and-rescue scenarios in the near future," he said.
The scientists detailed their findings online June 29 in the journal Interface.
Mars' two moon,s Phobos (shown here) and Deimos, may have formed from a ring of debris around the Red Planet. Larger moons formed in the same debris ring may have crashed into Mars.

The moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, may be the only survivors of a giant impact that created many short-lived, but now-absent moons around the Red Planet, a new study finds.
Phobos and Deimos are both small for moons — about 14 and 7.7 miles (22.5 and 12.4 kilometers) wide, respectively — and sort of potato-shaped. Compared to other satellites in the solar system, they look more like asteroids. As a result, astronomers previously hypothesized that these moons were asteroids captured by Mars' gravitational pull.
But if that were the case, previous research suggested that Phobos and Deimos would have relatively irregular orbits. In reality, these moons have nearly circular orbits positioned near the Martian equator. [Photos of Mars' Moon Phobos Up Close]
This diagram shows the collision model for the formation of Mars' two moons. A giant collision (top left) creates a disk of material around Mars (top right), and large moons emerge from the disk of material. More moons form. Eventually, the large moons fall back into Mars, and two small moons remain.

Another possible origin story for the Martian moons is that they coalesced from the debris of a giant impact, similar to the one largely thought to have formed Earth's moon. This rubble would have first formed a ring around Mars, and as moons emerged from this ring, they would have ended up with similarly circular orbits. However, this possibility raises the question of why Mars would end up with two moons instead of a single moon like Earth did, according to the new research paper.
To learn more about the potential origins of Phobos and Deimos,study lead author Pascal Rosenblatt, lead author on the new study, and a planetary scientist at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Brussels, and his colleagues investigated scenarios "left on the side until now," Rosenblatt told Space.com. "I rapidly discovered they were left not always for justified reasons."
The scientists focused on the huge impact that previous research suggested created the gigantic Borealis basin in the northern lowlands of Mars, which covers two-fifths of the Red Planet's surface. Prior work suggested that this basin is an impact crater, created when an impactor about 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) wide struck Mars, generating a ring of debris around the Red Planet with a mass of about 110 quadrillion tons (100 quadrillion metric tons), or about 10,000 times the combined mass of Phobos and Deimos.
The research team's computer models suggested that, over time, in the inner part of this debris ring where the rubble was most densely packed, large moons up to hundreds of miles in diameter would have clumped or accreted together. In contrast, in the outer part of the debris ring, dust and rocks were thinly dispersed, making it difficult for this material to accrete into moons.
However, the scientists found that gravitational tugs from one or more large moons from the inner debris ring could have stirred up rubble in the outer ring, shepherding rock and dust to form smaller outer moons, such as Phobos and Deimos. The researchers calculated that after about 5 million years, Mars' gravitational pull would have doomed the other moons, sending them crashing to the Red Planet's surface and leaving Phobos and Deimos as the sole survivors.
"Our results pave a new path to re-understand the Martian system in a context of formation similar but not identical to [that of] our own moon," Rosenblatt told Space.com.
After a large moon forms from the disk of material around Mars (following a collision with a second body), the gravitational influence of that large body spurs the formation of smaller moons, like Phobos and Deimos.

If a giant impact did create the Martian moons and the Borealis basin, that might help explain many other aspects of early Martian history, such as how Mars got its current rate of spin and lost its atmosphere and surface water, Rosenblatt said.
Although the orbit of Deimos is stable, previous research found that Phobos will one day crash against Mars as well. Indeed, a 2015 study found that Phobos already has stretch marks from the Red Planet's gravitational pull.
This model suggests that Phobos and Deimos are composed of a mix of material from Mars and the impactor that created the Borealis basin. Future research can test this model by returning samples from Phobos or Deimos to Earth for study, Rosenblatt said. He noted that Japan's space agency, JAXA, and the European Space Agency (ESA) are considering missions to these moons that "could be launched as soon as 2022 or 2024."
The scientists detailed their findings online July 4 in the journal Nature Geoscience.
Cosmic Fireworks: Hubble Snaps Stunning Photo of 'Skyrocket' Galaxy
Cosmic Fireworks: Hubble Snaps Stunning Photo of 'Skyrocket' Galaxy
By Mike Wall, Space.com Senior Writer
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the dwarf galaxy Kiso 5639, which from this angle resembles a skyrocket, with a blazing head and a long, star-studded tail.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning view of a fireworks display blazing up in deep space.
The celestial show comes courtesy of the dwarf galaxy Kiso 5639, which lies 82 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major and hosts a frenzy of star birth.
"The dwarf galaxy is shaped like a flattened pancake, but because it is tilted edge-on, it resembles a skyrocket, with a brilliant blazing head and a long, star-studded tail," officials with the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, which operates Hubble's science program, wrote in a statement.
The majority of Kiso 5639's star-forming action is taking place in the galaxy's head, which is about 2,700 light-years wide. This ramped-up star birth has apparently been triggered by the accretion of gas in this region from surrounding space, researchers said.
The dwarf galaxy's head also features a number of large "holes," which are cavities in the gas blasted out by powerful supernova explosions.
Elongated galaxies such as Kiso 5639 are known as "tadpoles." There were much more abundant in the universe's early days than they are today, scientists said.
Hubble : Do You Know the Famous Space Telescope?
Hubble has revolutionized astronomers' understanding of the universe since its April 1990 launch.
"I think Kiso 5639 is a beautiful, up-close example of what must have been common long ago," Debra Elmegreen, of Vassar College in New York, said inthe same statement. "The current thinking is that galaxies in the early universe grow from accreting gas from the surrounding neighborhood. It's a stage that galaxies, including our Milky Way, must go through as they are growing up."
Elmegreen is lead author of a new study that's based on observations of Kiso 5639 Hubble made with its Wide Field Camera 3 instrument. The paper has been accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.
The new photo, which was released on June 28, combines Hubble images taken in February 2015 and July 2015.
How Can the Universe Expand Faster Than the Speed of Light?
How Can the Universe Expand Faster Than the Speed of Light?
By Paul Sutter, Astrophysicist
As dark energy causes the universe to expand ever-faster, it may spur some very distant galaxies to apparently move faster than the speed of light. This Hubble Deep Field Image shows some of the most distant galaxies ever observed.

How can the universe expand faster than light travels?
It seems like it should be illegal, doesn’t it? Over and over (and over and over) we're told the supreme iron law of the universe: Nothing — absolutely nothing— can go faster than the speed of light. Done. Nothing further needs to be said about the issue.
And then come the astronomers, always excited by the chance to mess up your comfort zone. They come barging in with a simple observation: Some galaxies are moving away from us…wait for it…faster than the speed of light. What gives?
The big picture
First off, it's important to note that we live in an expanding universe. Every day the galaxies get farther apart from each other — on average. There are slight motions on top of that general expansion, leading to instances such as the Andromeda Galaxy heading on a collision course for the Milky Way. But in general, in the biggest of pictures, the galaxies are getting farther away from each other.
A key feature of this expansion is how uniform it is. Imagine a bunch of folks standing around the edges of a stretchy piece of fabric, tugging at it. Let us assume they're choreographed well and are able to walk backward and pull at the same rate. You, standing in the middle, would correctly observe that your "universe" is expanding: any objects placed on that fabric would slowly move away from you.
Because stretchy stuff is stretchy, the objects on the fabric close to you would appear to move away with some speed, but the farther objects would appear to move faster. Even though the folks doing the pulling are moving at a constant speed, the apparent stretch changes with distance. I swear this is true; you can even try it for yourself at home!
Now, let's jump to the universe. It's as if a bunch of folks are at the edge of the cosmos, gently tugging at the fabric of space-time, stretching it. Edwin Hubble was the first to measure the expansion rate. The number he got was way wrong, so I won't bother mentioning it, but good on him for trying. The more modern value is 68 kilometers per second per megaparsec, plus or minus a couple, but close enough.
I know, I know. You were probably following along just fine until that odd "per megaparsec" popped up. It's a distance: One megaparsec is 1 million parsec, which is 3.26 million light-years.
It means that if you look at a galaxy 1 megaparsec away, it will appear to be receding away from us at 68 km/s. If you look at a galaxy 2 megaparsec away, it recedes at 136 km/s. Three megaparsec away? You got it! 204 km/s. And on and on: for every megaparsec, you can add 68 km/s to the velocity of the far-away galaxy.
Over the limit
So it's easy enough to compute: At some point, at some obscene distance, the speed tips over the scales and exceeds the speed of light, all from the natural, regular expansion of space.
Yes, the movement of that galaxy can be interpreted as a "speed": you can measure the distance to it, wait awhile (to be fair, a really, really long while), and measure it again. Distance moved divided by time equals speed, and I guarantee you that the speed you measure can be faster than light.
The notion of the absolute speed limit comes from special relativity, but who ever said that special relativity should apply to things on the other side of the universe? That's the domain of a more general theory. A theory like…general relativity.
It's true that in special relativity, nothing can move faster than light. But special relativity is a local law of physics. Or in other words, it's a law of local physics. That means that you will never, ever watch a rocket ship blast by your face faster than the speed of light. Local motion, local laws.
But a galaxy on the far side of the universe? That's the domain of general relativity, and general relativity says: who cares! That galaxy can have any speed it wants, as long as it stays way far away, and not up next to your face.
It goes deeper than this. Concepts like a well-defined "velocity" make sense only in local regions of space. You can only measure something's velocity and actually call it a "velocity" when it's nearby and when the rules of special relativity apply. Stuff super-duper far away, like the galaxies we're talking about it? If it's not close, it doesn't count as a “velocity” in the way that special relativity cares about.
Special relativity doesn't care about the speed — superluminal or otherwise — of a distant galaxy. And neither should you.
NASA's supercomputer Pleiades has been upgraded to help it run higher simulations that could shed light on the origin of stars. And they've got even bigger plans for the future.
PLEIADES UPGRADED
One of the most powerful computers in the world, NASA’s Pleiades, just got a massive upgrade. “Another 14 racks containing Intel Broadwell processors were incorporated into Pleiades on July 1, bringing the total number of Broadwell racks to 28 and increasing the theoretical peak performance of Pleiades from 6.28 to 7.25 petaflops,” they reported on their website.
Astrophysicists at the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLNL) need all the computing power they can get in order to run simulations that will lead to a more profound understanding of the origin of stars, and star clusters in our galaxy and beyond.
The NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) facility at Ames Research Center combines data from the Hubble Space Telescope as well as other observatories with the capabilities of Pleiades, which runs on state-of-the-art 3D code ORION2.
“Our simulations, run on Pleiades and brought to life by the visualization team at the NAS facility at Ames, were critical to obtain important new results that match with Hubble’s high-resolution images and other observations made by a variety of space and Earth-based telescopes,” says Richard Klein, adjunct professor at UC Berkeley and astrophysicist at LLNL.
Watch this simulation of the evolution of a giant molecular cloud over 700,000 years, made possible by the Pleiades.
“Without NASA’s vast computational resources, it would not have been possible for us to produce these immense and complex simulations that include all the output variables we need to get these new results and them compare with observations,” Klein explained.
MORE UPGRADES TO COME
According to NASA, ORION2 has been consistent thus far. “The ORION2 simulations incorporate a complex mix of gravity, supersonic turbulence, hydrodynamics (motion of molecular gas), radiation, magnetic fields, and highly energetic gas outflows. The science team conducted many independent tests of each piece of physics in ORION against known data to demonstrate the code’s accuracy.”
To go further with their study, Pleiades has been upgraded in order to run higher resolution simulations of star formations, which could also help shed light on planetary formation.
“Higher resolution in the simulations will enable us to study the details of the formation of stellar disks formed around protostars. These disks allow mass to transfer onto the protostars as they evolve, and are thought to be the structures within which planets eventually form,” said Klein.
And based on their statement, the aforementioned upgrad es definitely won’t be the last for Pleiades: “Achieving this goal will require at least double the amount of processor time on Pleiades and several hundred terabytes of storage over the next couple of years,” NASA states.
WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO: Underground nuclear explosion near Dulce, New Mexico in 1967:
It’s about the likelihood that the government conducted tests on radiation by selectively choosing particular cows in the Dulce area, beginning in the mid 1970s. This type of research may have involved analyses of certain organs and tissues and may also have involved clandestine operations utilizing some prototypes of unmanned aerial vehicles or even unmarked helicopters.
But more important than that, there is a lingering problem that must be dealt with, i.e., the lingering physical effect on Native Americans from that 1967 experiment, as one can see from the high rate of cancer as well as problems withinfertility among women in the Dulce area. This type of condition may continue through the next generation of residents that were affected.
