What do aliens look like? The clue is in evolution

Hollywood has given us its fair share of humanoid aliens over the years. Initially this was through necessity, as special effects required someone to clamber into a rubber suit. Ironically, now that CGI makes anything possible, aliens sometimes look even more human in order to help the cinema goer make an emotional connection with them – such as in James Cameron’s Avatar.

At present, the only life forms we can study are here on Earth. These had a single origin around 3.5 billion years ago, but this common ancestor gave rise to perhaps 20m living species of animals alone. These have bodies organised according to about 30 different body plans in major groups called phyla.

But when animals first diversified some 542m or more years ago in the Cambrian “explosion”, there may have been an even greater diversity of fundamental body plans. Consider the five-eyed and trunked Opabina in the image above, or the stalked and almost flower-like Dinomischus alongside our own distant relative, the chordate Pikaia.

Rerunning the tape of life

In a famous thought experiment, biologist Stephen Jay Gouldasked what might happen if we were to rewind the “tape of life” and rerun it. Gould argued for the importance of chance in evolution: change one small thing early on, and the consequences magnify through time. In the version of history we know, Pikaia(imaged below) or something very like it survived and ultimately gave rise to fishes, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and ultimately ourselves. But what if it had perished? Might some other group have given rise to intelligent beings, and might you now be reading this with five eyes rather than the customary two? If our own origins on Earth really turned on such fine hinges, why should aliens – evolving on different planets – even remotely resemble us?

The answer, according to evolutionary biologist Simon Conway Morris, lies in the phenomenon of evolutionary convergence: the process by which distantly related animals come to closely resemble each other. For example, the similar streamlined shape of dolphins, tuna fish and the extinct ichthyosaurs all evolved independently in response to the same selective pressures for moving efficiently through water at speed.

But what aspects of alien biology might we expect? Carbon-based biochemistry is likely given that carbon forms stable backbone chains, and makes stable but readily breakable bonds with other elements. Other elements, notably silicon and sulphur, make less stable bonds at Earth-like temperatures. Water or some other solvent also seems necessary. For evolution to occur there needs to be some mechanism for storing and replicating information with moderate fidelity, such as DNA, RNA or some analogue. Although the first cells appeared on Earth quite early, multicellular animals took nearly 3 billion more years to evolve. So it may well be that life on other planets could get stuck at the single-celled stage.

On an Earth-like planet it is also likely that radiation from the alien sun or suns would be used in biochemical pathways as a source of energy. For moderately large multicellular primary producers, harnessing light efficiently probably necessitates a light gathering system of leaves and branches. Similar shapes and habits have evolved convergently on Earth, so we might expect “plants” with broadly familiar forms on Earth-like planets.

With few exceptions, animals either eat the primary producers or each other, and there are only so many ways of doing this. Pursuing food often necessitates moving with the mouth first, so the animal has a head and tail end. Teeth and probably jaws evolve to hold and tackle food items. Moving against a hard surface requires specialised structures (such as cilia, a muscular foot or legs) at the interface, so that there is a back and front side. Typically, this also imparts bilateral (left/right) symmetry: indeed, most animals belong to a “super-group” called the Bilateria.

Why not giant intelligent “insects”?

But what about the large brained and intelligent creatures that might be capable of crossing interstellar distances? Insects are by far the most species rich group on Earth: why shouldn’t aliens look more like them? Unfortunately, having your skeleton on the outside makes growth difficult, and entails periodic shedding and regrowth. On Earth-like planets, all but relatively small terrestrial animals with external skeletons would collapse under their own weight during moulting, and some critical size may be necessary for suitably complex brains.

Relatively large brains, some degree of tool use and problem-solving abilities appear to be correlated on Earth, and have evolved multiple times: in apes, whales, dolphins, dogs, parrots, crows and octopuses. However, the apes have developed tool use to a vastly greater degree. This is at least partly the result of walking on two legs, which frees up the front limbs, and because of the dexterity of our fingers (which may also be a key to the origins of written language).

Ultimately, the jury is out on the extent to which intelligent aliens – if they exist – would resemble us. It may or may not be significant that humans have just two eyes and ears (just enough for stereo vision and hearing), and just two legs (reduced from the initially more stable four). Many other organs also come in pairs as a consequence of our evolutionarily deep-seated – and perhaps inevitable – bilateral symmetry. Still other elements of our body plan are probably nothing more than chance. The fact that we have hands and feet with five digits is a consequence of the fixation on five in our early tetrapod ancestors – close relatives experimented with seven or eight.

Indeed, most species have been subject to an accidental “locking down” during development – making body plans become stereotyped and inflexible with evolutionary time. Untangling the functional from the accidental is one of the big outstanding challenges in evolutionary biology – and may help us better understand how alien lifeforms could differ from us.

The main way we now search for intelligent life in space is by listening for radio or gamma transmissions. These efforts are increasingly being concentrated on star systems with Earth-like planets, as these are believed to be the most likely to harbour life. After all, it is easier to search for “life as we know it” than life as we don’t.

How A Simple Formula Can Help You Find Aliens

Since the beginning of human civilization, we have looked up at the stars and wondered in amazement. The vastness of the universe was unknown to early humans, but in recent decades and centuries, we have begun to realize just how incredibly large the universe truly is. With hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy alone, and with hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe, a normal question was bound to arise… Is anyone else out there?

This has fascinated everyone from conspiracy theorists and kings to modern astronomers and Hollywood producers, but back in 1961, a man named Frank Drake came up with an equation that would measure the likelihood of making contact with intelligent life in our galaxy. That is the essential goal of the Drake Equation, and while it has been hotly debated for decades, it remains one of the most concise and trusted methods of estimating an answer to that eternal question: Are we alone in the universe?

The Drake Equation

When Frank Drake first came up with the idea for the Drake equation, he was actually trying to generate a conversation among a “meeting of the minds” regarding the search for extraterrestrial life (SETI). However, the simple and inclusive design of his equation has become the stuff of legend. Before we go into the details of the equation, let’s look at it in simple terms.

So, the Drake Equation is:

However, it would be a bit more insightful to know what each of those variables meant. So, without further ado…

N = the number of possible civilizations in the galaxy that could communicate with us

R_* = average rate of star formation in the Milky Way

f_p = the fraction of those stars that possess planets

n_e = the number of planets that could support life around each of those stars with planets

f_l = the fraction of planets that could support life that actually do develop life

f_i  = the fraction of planets with life that develop intelligent life

f_c = the fraction of intelligent civilizations that attempt to send communication out into space to be detected

L = the length of time that signal would be sent out into the universe (duration of civilization)

An Answer to the Drake Equation?

While it seems like a simple enough equation, the problem doesn’t like with generating a final answer (N), but rather in determining what other variables should be included. The first three variables (average star formation rate, planet-possessing stars, and potential to support life on those planet) are relatively easy to determine.

R_* – By looking at our own nearby galactic neighborhood and the residual gas clouds from star formation, we can safely calculate that the present rate of star formation is currently about 7 stars per year. This number was far greater in the past, but in the 21st century, that’s a safe bet.

f_p – The fraction of those stars with planets is often assumed to be 1, given that many modern astronomers believe that every star has the capacity to retain orbiting planets, making stars without planets an exception, rather than a rule. However, some other figures place that number at only .4 (4 out of 10 stars will possess planets). This is where the significant differences in variables begin, but it gets even more intense.

n_e – The number of planets that could support life around each of those stars is largely derived from our own solar system, where Earth is definitely habitable, but we have yet to determine the habitability of various other moons and planets. Therefore, the number ranges from .5 to 2 in most calculations of the Drake Equation.

Those are the easy ones… and there is far more debate on the last 4 variables, as much of it is conjecture, based on belief, rather than scientific fact or direct observable experience. 

f_l  – The fraction of planets that do develop life is hotly debated and cannot be directly tested, as we haven’t traveled to other exoplanets where the “stuff of life” has been detected. We know that life could develop, but not whether it will. Some say life is inevitable, making this variable equal to 1, while others say it is 1/100, or even smaller!

f_i – The fraction of planets with life that develop intelligent life is similarly up for grabs. Many argue that intelligent life is inevitable, using Earth as an example (humans evolved from every other form of life, and eventually became intelligent), while critics say that it was a 1 in a billion chance, as there have been hundreds of millions of non-intelligent species in the history of the planet.

f_c – The fraction of those intelligent civilizations that send communication signals suggests a highly technologically evolved culture with the desire to reach out to the stars. This could also be largely conjectural, but a 1/100 estimate was made by Drake, although others say it is a 100% chance, if given enough time.

L – Finally, we come to length of time the signal would be generated. For example, perhaps a civilization rose to prominence 10 million years ago, broadcast the signal, but then destroyed itself before it could connect with us. This is the variable with the most flexibility, from a few hundreds years up to billions (some suggest that eventually, a civilization will discover how to survive in perpetuity, meaning the signal transmission time would be massive.

NOW….in 1961, Drake estimated with a rather simple range of values, and came up with two values, a minimum and maximum. 

The minimum estimation of possible communicative civilizations in our galaxy is 20, while the maximum is roughly 50,000,000. Frank Drake himself believes that the number lies somewhere between 1,000 and 100,000,000.

The Modern Take on Drake

While the debate over extraterrestrial life will never be resolved until we actually find some, we have improved our ability to calculate the variables in the equation. Unfortunately, this hasn’t done much in terms of shrinking the possible range. In fact, our precision has only expanded the range, and current estimates range from 2 to 280,000,000.

The original purpose of the Drake equation, we must remember, was not to determine an accurate number of communicating, intelligent civilizations in our galaxy; it was to stimulate thought in this area, and hopefully guide people to look into the variables and expand the scope of their research. To that end, Frank Drake has been extremely successful. With every successive venture into the cosmos, we get closer to finding life (or not), but with hundreds of billions of stars out there, we’ll likely never know the exact number. However, in terms of extraterrestrial life, I’ll leave it to Fox Mulder….

(VIDEO)‘Human Sacrifice Ceremony’ at CERN investigated by chiefs at world-famous Science Center

The organization of the world’s leading nuclear research has opened an internal investigation into a chilling incident that occurred on campus.

 

A video surfaced on the internet shows the moment a woman is allegedly sacrificed near the statue of Shiva at CERN where the Large Hadron Collider is located.  The statue of Lord Shiva was installed at the campus in 2004, symbolizing Shiva’s cosmic dance of creation and destruction, was given to CERN by the Indian government to celebrate the research center’s long association with India.

---

 

The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has opened up an internal investigation in response to a video released last week in which a parody is performed allegedly showing a woman bein stabbed as part of a human sacrifice in the ground of the Geneva headquarters reports the Swiss website Swissinfo.

 

The strange video which popped up on the internet a couple of days ag depicts several individuals in black cloth gather at the main square at one of Europe’s top physics labs ni the appears to be a re-enactment of an occult ceremony.

 

The chilling video illustrates human sacrifice as a woman is filmed bein stabbed.

 

‘These scenes were filmed on our premises, but without official permission or knowledge,’ a CERN spokeswoman told AFP in an email. CERN does not condone this type of spoof, which can give rise to misunderstandings about the scientific nature of our work,’ she added.

 

The image shows a woman being sacrificed at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). CERN Chiefs have already started an investigation into the online video which allegedly shows a woman being sacrificed in a gruesome ritual on their grounds.

 

She added that the investigation taking place is an internal matter.

 

The strange video has raised numerous questions involving the security present on CERN’s campus.

 

 

The image shows several people preparing for the ritual. A joke that has gone too far.

 

When asked to detail the security procedure regarding access to CERN’s campus, the CERN spokeswoman responded saying that: ‘CERN IDs are checked systematically at each entry to the CERN site whether it is night or day.’

 

The spokeswoman further indicated that the individual’s responsible for the occult ‘prank’ had access badges.

 

‘CERN welcomes every year thousands of scientific users from all over the world and sometimes some of them let their humor go too far. This is what happened on this occasion,’ the email said.

 

The video, which has already registered over 240,000 views, has caused stupor in the management of CERN where the famous Large Hadron Collider is located.

THE ABOVE TOP SECRET SPACE PROGRAM BUILT WITH REVERSE-ENGINEERED ALIEN TECHNOLOGY

In 1993, during a lecture at the UCLA Alumini Center, Ben Rich, former CEO of Lockheed Martin held a very interesting speech about technological advancements in space engineering in a period of forty years. He concluded his speech with the following quote: We now have the technology to take ET home.” – Ben Rich, CEO of Lockheed Skunk Works, 1993 

---

 

While talking about ET the last image of the slide showed a mysterious black disk-shaped object flying into outer space. 

 

What was Mr Richj telling us with the quote? With the image? 

 

 

 

Lockheed has designed and built a series of incredible aircraft including the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-22 Raptor and the F-117 Nighthawk, all of them with state of the art technology that no one else had in their possession. Their aircrafts were unique, fast, and lethal.

 

Many people believe that Lockheed Martin definitely came into possession of advanced alien technology that they managed to reengineer creating the next generation fighters. Is it possible that Lockheed is responsible for the manned flying saucers? Is it possible that Lockheed combined Tesla’s inventions with re-engineered alien technology which allowed them to create unprecedented aerial vehicles and even spacecraft? Vehicles that have been kept far away from the prying eyes of the public. 

 

 

As of 2000, if not a bit earlier, people started to think differently, interest in alien life and extraterrestrial technology, governments could keep up with the high interest of the public in those subjects which has probably led to the numerous declassified UFO files made available to the public in recent years.

 

 In an interview with BBC British system administrator Gary McKinnon, the person who hacked his way into 97 U.S. military and NASA computers, said that he had been motivated by the Disclosure Project since “there are some very credible, relied-upon people, all saying yes, there is UFO technology, there’s anti-gravity, there’s free energy, and it’s extraterrestrial in origin and they’ve captured spacecraft and reverse engineered them.” 

 

According to McKinnon, he uncovered numerous files, among them a spreadsheet containing names and details about extraterrestrial officers and fleet logs. McKinnon searched for the ‘extraterrestrial officers’ in the database of the U.S Military and Navy and concluded that those officers were nowhere to be found. He concluded that these mysterious ‘officers’ had to be Space Marines. 

 

McKinnon saw countless UFO images stored in NASA’s computers at the Johnson Space Center’s Building 8 among other highly classified documents. McKinnon was caught in 2002 facing over 50 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines. Luckily, McKinnon who fled to the U.K. was never extradited to the US and managed to avoid prison. McKinnon firmly believes that extraterrestrial vehicles have been captured by governments around the world, and he also believes that mankind was able to reverse engineer that technology creating highly advanced spacecraft which are today fully functional.

 

 According to Jack A. Shulman, president of American Computer; the invention of the transistor may have been inspired by the study of the remains of a crashed alien spacecraft, basically reverse engineered technology. 

 

Alien Technology and humans reverse engineering it was first mentioned in 1997 when, American Computer Company (ACC) suggested the possibility that the study of the remains of a crashed alien spaceship in Roswell in 1947, or another crashed Alien spaceship might have been definitive for the development of the transistor, made in 1948 by Shockley, Bardeen and Brattain doctors in the Research Center of Electronic Circuits at Bell Laboratories. 

 

The basis for such claims are a series of documents and testimonies that supposedly were in possession of ACC. This theory matches the stories of many others, among them, former Lieutenant Colonel Phillip Corso, who in his book; The Day After Roswell, claims being part of the team that handed the remains of the crashed object and delivered parts to different departments of Bell Laboratories .

What Kind of Technology Brought the Ancient Egyptians Into the Grand Canyon?

One of the most intriguing archaeological discoveries in North America comes from the rocky cliffs of the Grand Canyon. What makes it even more interesting is the fact that The Smithsonian covered it up and hid this intriguing discovery of an ancient civilization living below the canyon, a find that has the potential to change bits of our written history.

---

 

The World Explorers Club decided to conduct an investigation regarding the authenticity of this discovery and phoned the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. for more details. Their thirst to find out more was due to an intricate article on the front page of the Phoenix Gazette from April 5, 1909. The story offered an accurate description of an expedition led by Professor S.A. Jordan of the Smithsonian that surfaced with great archaeological finds from a remote cave located in the Grand Canyon.

 

Maybe the most interesting is the attitude of The Smithsonian Museum, claiming to have zero knowledge of this discovery and those involved in finding it. When asked about the newspaper article regarding the Smithsonian excavation in the Grand Canyon where Egyptian artifacts had been found, and whether they could offer more information on this, a staff archaeologist representing the institution said the following: “The first thing I can tell you before we go any further, is that no Egyptian artifact of any kind have ever been found in North or South America. Therefore, I can tell you that the Smithsonian Institute has never been involved in any such excavations.”

 

 

No one from the Smithsonian could offer any information of either the discovery, or of G.E. Kinkaid and Professor S.A. Jordan, the presumed discoverers. It was like the entire article from the 1909 Phoenix newspaper was a shameless hoax, but considering the fact that it appeared on the front page, and that it mentioned the famous Smithsonian Institution and some of its archaeologists, coupled with the fact that it contained a very detailed story written on numerous pages, many believe the newspaper was a legitimate source.

 

So, why would a reputed, official institution cover this up? After all, we are talking about a monumental discovery that would completely change the current belief that there was no form of communication or travel over the oceans in pre-Colombian times. Also, the belief that all American Indians were the followers of Ice Age adventurers who came across the Bering Strait would become questionable.

 

The idea of ancient Egyptians coming to Arizona in an ancient past is denied even though the Smithsonian Institution seems to have proof of it. Is there a reason for their denial? Is it because this astounding discovery would overwrite current academic teachings? Or maybe because of the interest to preserve their current status as keepers of forbidden knowledge?

 

 

The Tower of Ra

 

Following these events, in the pursuit of finding the truth, historian Carl Hart, editor of World Explorer, acquired a map of the Grand Canyon from a bookstore in Chicago. Looking over the map, he was surprised to find that a considerable portion on the north side of the canyon has Egyptian names. The field around Ninety-four Mile Creek and Trinity Creek had areas named after Egyptian gods like Tower of Ra, Tower of Set, Osiris Temple, Horus Temple or Isis Temple.

 

Also, the Haunted Canyon area had some unfamiliar places on the map, such as the Cheops Pyramid, the Buddha Cloister, Buddha Temple, Shiva Temple and Manu Temple. Were any of these places related to the other Egyptian findings in the Grand Canyon?

 

 

The Isis Temple

 

The World Explorers Club then called a state archaeologist at the Grand Canyon. He affirmed that those names were just a coincidence and that the early adventurers enjoyed Egyptian and Hindu names. But one thing remains certain – the area was restricted to hikers or other foreigners, because of dangerous caves and unsafe environment.

 

Could these hidden caverns contain the actual truth and, if so, for how long will it be concealed? If we take a look at the bigger picture, there is a lot of leaked information which points us into a different direction than what we were taught by the public school system and television. We have a different notion of “truth” and we are also aware of all the odd jobs going on that continue to finance the elites and the lies they feed us as reality.

 

Whatever the case, history has a lot of gaps, and the existing evidence might be a paved road over an otherwise dusty foundation, representing the true history of humankind.

(VIDEO) THE REASON NASA NEVER RETURNED TO THE MOON

UFO / VUURBOL VLIEGT TENT EN DOODT KIND ( VIDEO )

Op 17 augustus 2016 vindt er een drama plaats in een gebied in Jamalië, een afgelegen deel van Siberië. 

Alhoewel volgens de meteorologen het weer op die locatie prachtig was zonder wolken, vliegt er volgens de autoriteiten een vuurbol een tent binnen en explodeert. 

Het volgende is een vreemd verhaal en als het inderdaad zo is gebeurd als dat de autoriteiten en het nieuws ons vertellen, hebben we te maken met een zeer zeldzaam verschijnsel met dodelijke afloop.

De gebeurtenis vindt plaats op 17 augustus 2016 in een gebied dat Jamalië heet, in het Russische Siberië ligt en heel dun bevolkt is. 

De bevolking leeft daar in tenten zoals te zien op de volgende afbeeldingen:

In deze tenten woont een volk van herders en de dieren waarmee ze dat doen zijn rendieren. 

Volgens de berichten uit Rusland vloog er een vuurbol één van bovenstaande tenten in en explodeerde eenmaal binnenin de tent, waardoor een jongetje van 7 jaar om het leven kwam. 

In de tent waren ook nog twee meisjes van 12 en 16 jaar oud. Zij kwamen er vanaf met tweede- en derdegraads brandwonden. 

De kinderen behoorden tot hetzelfde herdersgezin. Het jongetje heet Timur en het jongste meisje heet Sabrina en de oudste Sophia. 

Klaarblijkelijk stoof de hond op de vuurbol af toen deze de tent binnen kwam, maar helaas heeft het dier tijdens de daarop volgende explosie letterlijk zijn kop verloren. 

Hierbij een kort fragment uit de Russische nieuwsuitzending. 

 

Volgens het nationale nieuws hebben we hier te maken met een geval van bolbliksem: 

Een bolbliksem is een helder oplichtend bolvormig object met een diameter van maximaal 40 centimeter, dat soms waargenomen wordt in de buurt van een blikseminslag en dan gedurende meerdere seconden zichtbaar is. Het is een atmosferisch verschijnsel waar lange tijd geen afdoende verklaring voor was. Een bolbliksem doet zich meestal voor bij zwaar onweer maar er zijn ook gevallen bekend waarin een bolbliksem optrad tijdens helder weer. 

Er was tijdens de gebeurtenis absoluut geen sprake van slecht weer of onweer, dus dan zou het één van die zeldzame gevallen zijn waar bolbliksem voorkomt zonder onweer of in ieder geval bewolking. 

Het vreemde toeval wil natuurlijk dat we aan het begin van de maand ook al een vreemd lichtverschijnsel zagen in Siberië, wat ook werd afgedaan als bolbliksem. 

In de video hieronder zie het vreemde licht bewegen door het veld. Ook dit zou bolbliksem kunnen zijn, maar dan wordt altijd gesproken over een zeldzaam verschijnsel en dan zouden we er nu al twee hebben in dezelfde maand.

Witness describes low flying cylinder UFO

A Utah witness at West Jordan reported watching a cylinder-shaped UFO hovering while it changed colors before slowly moving away, according to testimony in Case 78051 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was a passenger in a vehicle at 7000 South and Redwood when the driver first noticed two lights hovering under 500 feet.

“At first I thought it was a plane,” the witness stated.“But the lights weren’t moving, just standing very still.”

The witness was able to describe the object better once they approached it.

“As we got closer, between the two bright, white lights was a cylinder-shaped figure. It turned into a glowing purple, and then slowly turned red, and then blue. As we passed I looked behind me to watch. Then it slowly started moving towards the northern side of Utah while changing into the three colors. Then I looked away. I felt very excited and shocked. I couldn’t believe my own eyes.”

Field Investigator created this illustration of the object based on witness statements.

(Credit: MUFON)

Utah MUFON Assistant State Director Robert Crowe and Field Investigator Cary Crowe investigated and closed this case as an Unknown.

“The witness described the object as being about two car lengths long (two newer Chevrolet Camaros) and the width of a Camaro. A 2014 Chevrolet Camaro is 188 inches in length and 76 inches wide, according to the website, Edmonds.com,” the Crowe’s stated in their report.

The object was first seen hovering above 7000 South and Redwood in West Jordan, Utah.

(Credit: MUFON)

“Witness noticed a door that was centered on the cylinder about 10 feet by 10 feet. She explained the door was the type that rolls up, similar to an airplane. Above the door, there was an orange blinking light that stopped blinking after she saw the object. The cylinder appeared to be rough in texture with black or another dark color as the base color.Witness did not know or did not see a source of propulsion.On the end of the pulsing light domes, which were the size of a large trampoline, were these evenly spaced ‘stringy’ lights. They were spaced about a foot apart where they attached to the sphere. The lights seemed to be solid and appeared to be 6 to 8 feet in length.”

The investigators combed the neighborhood of the sighting area for four hours and were unable to find another witness. The local West Jordan Police Department was also contacted and they had no reports related this this event. Additionally, the South Valley Regional Airport had no reports either.

The object slowly moved away after changing colors several times above 7000 South and Redwood in West Jordan, Utah.

(Credit: MUFON)

Investigator’s Conclusions: “I am unable to conclude the identification of the object reported by the witness. No other sightings of this description could be found in a 1,000-mile radius. Until such time as new information is made available, I must dispose of this case as Unknown.”

Please remember that most UFO sightings can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

White UFO Seen Over Abilene, Kansas In Aug 4, 2016, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting:  August 4, 2016
Location of sighting:  Abilene, Kansas, USA
Source: MUFON #78235

This UFO was seen over a small town of Abilene a few weeks ago. Abilene is a secluded town with a low population of only 6,600, so aliens probably thought the odds of being seen were much lower in this particular area. Lucky for us they were wrong. Aliens are not perfect, the do make mistakes and are seen from time to time daily around the globe. They may live thousands or even millions of years, but that doesn't make them gods, just immortals, who are more fortunate than us technologically, that they may have such long lifetimes.

Eyewitness states: 
I was on a walk in a local park when I notice an odd light in the sky moving over me. I was able to record the object for about minute. After the first object was out of sight two other objects appeared heading the same direction, but too far out of range for my camera to see them.

Location of sighting: Novosibirsk, Russia

 This Glowing UFO was seen during the day time in Russia a few months back, but the person uploaded it to Youtube this week. It shows a UFO moving low over the field and then beyond some trees. Not sure why the camera is held sideways, or that he didnt move around the tree, but we do hear him attempting to move through leaves and then he gives up. Perhaps moving to the left was impossible, so he could only move to the right...but was blocked by the trees. 

This UFO is very similar in appearance to glowing orbs seen over the Colorado mountains and over the Las Vegas Mountains. I see no difference in color or intensity of light. This is the same...but has never been seen so close. It has however been seen by a UFO researcher in Vegas called Steven Barone...who watches them almost nightly and records these unpredictable and intense UFOs over the top secret area of an Air Force Base owned land where Tall Whites live at a separate base behind the old firing range...this does look like one of their ships.

Mysterious Disc Captured on Missouri Camera

The mysterious object appears when a person experiences, encounters or witnesses an object which cannot be identified. One of the best reasons why UFOs are strange is the fact that most witnesses do not have good evidence to believe that such encounter happened. However, this does not mean that the doors will be closed without examining. While some authorities, even governments, choose to dismiss the sightings, there are still a lot of growing numbers of incidents every day.

A Missouri witness at Lees Summit reported seeing and recording a disc-shaped alien that made a quick descent. It took place on July 21, 2016, at 3:28 p.m. According to the witness, the video lasted for about 39 seconds. Throughout the footage, a flat or disc-shaped vessel traveled from 18:35 to 19:05. The alleged rapid descent formed an angle at 14-degrees. Upon analyzing, he discovered that the angle of elevation upon entering the screen was about 12-degrees, even though it apparently came from a higher angle. Initially, the direction was 350-degrees, and it disappeared in 336-degrees from the camera view. To make the encounter exciting, the witness decided to follow the object’s path. Unfortunately, it disappeared in the western part of the Blue Springs Lake. After that, into another smaller lake. Based on the witness’s analysis, in 16 frames, the vessel covered 3 miles in one-half second or 2,160 mph. Therefore, the witness came to a conclusion that it entered the small body of water. Finally, the 14-degree descent, by projection, has ended northwest at about 320-degrees. This small lake is about 1,600 feet west of the Blue Springs Lake. The objects appear to be closer to 15 feet as opposed to the spheroid vessel.

Since the case was recorded in a database, the Missouri Field Investigator Lawrence Tyree investigated the case. Unfortunately, it was closed as Unknown. Even if the evidence shows a vessel flying at an incredible speed of 2,160 mph, no known technology can do that. This makes it unnatural and mysterious. The description of the movements, its speed, and the video are descriptive of a strange UAV.

Spaceships Stationing on Saturn’s Rings, NASA Scientist Claims

NASA has made incredible discoveries and innovations in aviation and spaceflight industry. One of these surprising findings is life on another planet. Many would have doubts about NASA finding space alien life, but according to one scientist, planet Saturn has been a home for unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

NASA scientist Normal Bergrun says that alien spaceships have proliferated on rings of Saturn. Bergrun was an engineer at NASA’s Ames Research Center. In various interviews about the solar system situation, he claims that the number of extraterrestrial spaceships has reached critical levels.

Bergrun also worked on top-secret aerospace projects at Lockheed Martin. It was Bergrun who apparently found evidence of extraterrestrial life on the Saturn’s rings.

His discoveries were published in 1986 book “Ringmakers of Saturn.” In the book, Bergrum theorized that UFO had already been found on Saturn’s rings.

He stated that these ET spaceships have been inhabiting Saturn and proliferating as they can also be found on the other ringed planets, Uranus and Jupiter. Bergrun added that he referred them as ringmakers because they are present whenever there are some rings.

According to Bergrun, the rings of these three planets were purposely designed for ET’s source of energy. While NASA has yet to recognize Bergrun’ theories, other pioneers of aerospace technology seemed to agree with him.

Aerospace technology pioneer Herman Oberth stated that flying saucers are real in his thesis, and they are space ships from another solar system. He suggested that intelligent observers, who may have been investigating the Earth for centuries, possibly controlled these UFOs.

Mass UFO activity over Darlington, UK

Here’s one older UFO footage that was just submitted to MUFON. This happened in Darlington, UK on 26th March 2014.

Witness report: 

Travelling East along A66 8 miles from Scotch Corner and witnessed stationary lights in the sky
I was travelling East along the A66 approx 8 miles from Scotch Corner when i noticed a cluster of lights on the South West horizon, I think looking towards Skelton. At first i thought the closest resemblance i could think of was a squadron of helicopters with lights on. However after a good few miles they hadn’t moved at all and i managed to take a photograph and video. It wasn’t a great day for visibility and i couldn’t make anything else out other than the lights and their apparent lack of movement. I was mystified at the time and still am, especially after seeing the video again. Lanterns, flares etc have all been suggested but the absolute lack of movement still leaves me skeptical of this explanation. I eventually lost sight as i passed over a hill and couldn’t see the same patch of sky.

Blimp-Like UFO Caught On Video Over A Small City In Kansas

A man at Abilene in Kansas was shocked to see a blimp-shaped UFO traveling above a local park. He managed to record his UFO sighting on video and submitted a report with the clip to Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), which then filed as case 78235.

According to the report, the witness was walking in a local park on August 4, 2016, when the odd aerial thing was first noticed.

The object in question appeared to be bright and moving in the sky over the witness, who was able to record it for around a minute and before it went out of sight.

Two other objects then came to the view of the witness. They were reportedly moving in the same direction as the first one, but too far out of range for the camera to catch them.

Becky Landwehr and Larry Jordan of MUFON Kansas are still investigating the case. Abilene is a city in Dickinson County in the State of Kansas with 6,844 population.

Mysterious daytime UFO sighting over Portland, Oregon 20-Aug-2016

Here’s a new daytime footage of bunch of bright UFOs over Portland in Oregon. This happened on Saturday, 20th August 2016.

Witness report: 

Group witnessed UFO’s / UAP’s over Oaks Amusement Park, Portland, Oregon
A group of people and I witnessed several objects while at Oaks Amusement Park on August 20th, 2016 around 1 PM. At first glance we figured they were balloons, however we noticed they were spiraling in a continuous circle, disappearing and then reappearing, this was during a 100° day with very little wind. I filmed this towards the end of the sighting as I hadn’t thought to pull my phone out until then. We were all very puzzled were trying different explanations for what it was. The clearest view of the objects are in the beginning and the end of the attached video.

5 FASCINATING Archaeological discoveries that have been left out of History Books

---

 

It’s as if history class is limited to only some of the many archaeological discoveries made around the globe.

 

The truth is that there are so many unprecedented things on planet Earth that we need to reevaluate everything we know about history.

 

While nearly everyone on Earth knows about The Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and the Great Wall of China among other discoveries, the truth is that hundreds of archaeological findings have been omitted by mainstream scholars and consequently by history.

 

1. Underground tunnels

 

 

One of the more recent discoveries that have been made are the underground tunnels spread across the European Continent. Over 12,000 years ago, ancient cultures decided to seek shelter underground and created sophisticated underground tunnels that stretch for thousands of kilometers below the surface of the European continent.

 

Some researchers refer to these intricate tunnels as ancient highways, even though some of the tunnels are merely 70 centimeters in diameter.

 

Nevertheless, not many people know these tunnels exist, and it is very likely that this discovery won’t be included in history books anytime soon.

 

Why? Well, some archaeologists believe these tunnels aren’t of great importance at all. We think otherwise.

 

2. Longyou Grottoes

 

 

One of the most fascinating archaeological discoveries that I never heard of until recently. The Longyou Grotto Caves are massive, man-carved caves that defy logic and explanation.

 

Interestingly, to date, not a single historical record has been found mentioning the monumental construction process that involved the removal of 1,000,000 cubic meters of rock.

 

It’s builders remain unknown to history. The mind-boggling underground complex was unearthed by local farmers in 1992. In addition to their humongous size, there is not a single ancient text that describes the underground ‘city’ nor its creation.

 

Even today, researchers have absolutely no idea who created the impressive underground complex, what its purpose was or when it was made.

 

3. A 200 Million-Year-Old MASSIVE Footprint

 

 

Among the numerous discoveries omitted by mainstream scholars is a massive footprint found in Africa.

 

Today, many geologists have mixed feelings regarding this incredible feature located in the vicinity of the city of Mpaluzi, near the Swaziland border in the Mpumalanga province in north-eastern South Africa.

 

The gigantic footprint imprinted into granite is one of the greatest mysteries no one has been able to explain. It obviously looks like a giant footprint left behind by what some believe were GIANTS.

 

Could it be that this gigantic 200 million-year-old footprint is evidence of these mythological beings?

 

74Derinkuyu: A Massive underground city that defies logic

 

 

One of a fascinating ancient underground cities is without a doubt Derinkuyu.

 

Located in the Derinkuyu district in the Nevşehir Province, Turkey this fascinating, complex and massive city located below the surface has puzzled researchers ever since its discovery.

 

Regrettably, it is yet another ancient site that has been omitted in history.

 

Derinkuyu extends to a depth of about 60 meters underground; it was a highly sophisticated underground shelter. No one knows exactly from what were the people of the underground city hiding; some say war, others climate change, but the exact reason remains a mystery.

 

5. The underwater city of Yonaguni – Japan

 

 

One of my favorite discoveries that mainstream researchers call a natural formation.

 

This incredible underwater complex was discovered by chance by scuba instructor Khachiro Arataki. The incredibly carved rock sank around 10,000 years ago, much before the Ancient Egyptians built the Pyramids. Mainstream archaeology and science state that 10,000 years ago, mankind was not able to construct such a complex city.

 

Its complex patterns and flat surfaces are enough evidence for many people that over 10,000 years ago, a sophisticated ancient culture lived on Earth erecting fascinating structures that defy our own capabilities today.

WOMAN CLAIMS 18 ABORTIONS FROM REPTILIAN ALIENS WHO ABDUCT HER

NASA's Asteroid Redirect Mission Emerges from First Planning Stages

NASA's Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) has passed a key design milestone, bringing the project one step closer to snagging a boulder off an asteroid and pulling that piece into orbit around the moon.

The complex mission is currently targeted to launch in 2021, pegged at a cost of $1.4 billion, NASA said in a statement. After launch, the rocket will travel to a large near-Earth asteroid, collect a large boulder off of the asteroid's surface and pull that piece to the moon. Later, astronauts will travel to the boulder to extract and analyze samples. While orbiting the asteroid, the spacecraft can also tug the asteroid off-course using the craft's and boulder's combined gravity (as a proof-of-concept for deflecting a threatening body).

Now, the mission has passed a milestone called Key Decision Point-B (KDP-B) — formally approved Aug. 15 — and it will be able to move on to its Phase B planning stage. To pass, NASA officials "established the content, cost and schedule commitments for Phase B activities," NASA said in a statement. By the end of Phase B, ARM will have an approved baseline mission and design that meets all the agreed-upon requirements, in a process that all NASA missions pass through. [NASA to Pick Boulder Off an Asteroid (Animation)]

"This is an exciting milestone for the Asteroid Redirect Mission," NASA Associate Administrator Robert Lightfoot said in the statement. "Not only is ARM leveraging agency-wide capabilities, [but] it will [also] test a number of new technologies already in development."

The craft would spotlight an advanced electric-propulsion system, operate autonomously on the "low-gravity body" of the asteroid, and touch down on and lift off from the body — all key tests of technology that could be essential for human missions for Mars, NASA said. (Plus, the second part of the mission would feature spacewalking humans gathering samples, another activity relevant to Mars.)

Now that the mission is entering Phase B, NASA will call for proposals from aerospace companies for building mission components, and will work on partnering with other entities that want to fly payloads on the craft, NASA officials said in the statement. (There is cooperation under discussion with the Italian Space Agency in particular, they added.)

"Since its early formulation, NASA has invited mission-concept feedback and development ideas from the planetary science community, general public, U.S. and global industry, and international partners," Gates said. "With KDP-B under our belt, ARM can now move forward to define partnerships and opportunities for long-term engagement."

During Phase B, NASA will also put together an ARM investigation team that will analyze potential spacecraft and mission designs and conduct research to support the mission's development.

NASA will not have to choose a target asteroid until 2020, but in the meantime the agency has focused on 2008 EV5 as a reference. This 1,300-foot-wide (400 meters) asteroid orbits the sun every 343 days. Observations with radio telescopes suggest that the asteroid has boulders of a variety of sizes that ARM could choose from. The space rock also appears to host volatiles, water and organic compounds for the researchers to investigate once the boulder makes it closer to Earth.

ARM's original incarnation would have captured an entire smaller asteroid, but in 2015 NASA opted to instead pluck a boulder off of a larger body, avoiding the possibility of reaching a faraway asteroid only to realize it's too large to grapple. The procedure will also make it easier to test a "gravity tractor" procedure, in which the spacecraft and boulder are used to help drag the whole asteroid slightly off course.
