Newest NASA discoveries could boost search for ancient life on Mars
Newest NASA discoveries could boost search for ancient life on Mars
In puffs of gas from rocks more than 3 billion years old dug up by one of NASA's robotic explorers on Mars, scientists have identified several complex organic molecules — possible building blocks for ancient life.
It's not aliens. (It's never aliens.)
But it is “consistent with the past presence of biology,” said Ken Williford, an astrobiologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “And it makes us more confident that if biomarkers” — or direct evidence of biologic activity — “are there, we might find them.”
In two studies published today in the journal Science, this new finding from NASA's Curiosity rover is paired with another discovery: The planet's methane — another organic molecule usually (but not always) produced by living beings — varies with the seasons. In the past, scientists have seen plumes and patches of this intriguing substance, but this is the first time they've been able to discern a pattern in its presence. The result could pave the way for future missions to pin down the methane's source.
“The closer we look, the more we see that Mars is a complex, dynamic planet that — particularly early in its history — was more conducive to life than we might have previously imagined,” said Williford, who was not involved in either study.
A reminder: Organic molecules aren't necessarily produced by organisms; they're just chemical compounds that contain carbon. But they're of interest to astrobiologists because they are the essential ingredients in all the chemistry that drives life on Earth.
Mars's Gale Crater, where Curiosity has been trolling around for the past six years, is a particularly interesting place to look for those molecules. About 3.5 billion years ago, research suggests, this pockmark on the Martian surface was brimming with water.
But the water vanished when most of the Martian atmosphere was stripped away by brutal solar winds. And, given the intensity of the radiation bombarding the planet's surface, it wasn't clear whether any relics from that warm, wet period could still be preserved in mudstones on the lake's dried-up floor.
Using Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument — which heats soil and rock samples to examine their contents — astrobiologist Jennifer Eigenbrode and her colleagues were able to identify an array of interesting organic molecules: ring structures known as aromatics, sulfur compounds and long carbon chains. Even more compelling was the fact that these compounds seemed to have broken off even bigger, more complex “macromolecules” — substances found on Earth in coal, black shale and other ancient organic remains.
“What we have detected is what we would expect from a sample from an ancient lake environment on Earth,” said Eigenbrode, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
There are some non-biological explanations for the detection — this combination of compounds has also been found in meteorites. But that explanation, too, suggests a provocative possibility; even if the organic molecules didn't come from life, they are exactly what life likes to eat. Perhaps the meteorite-delivered molecules provided fuel for ancient alien organisms.
Regardless, the detection is a technical achievement, said Williford, because it demonstrates that organic molecules can persist near Mars's surface for billions of years. If scientists keep drilling deeper and more widely, as they plan to do with the European and Russian space agencies' ExoMars rover and NASA's Mars 2020 mission, who knows what they might find? (Williford is deputy project scientist for Mars 2020.)
The methane study, spearheaded by JPL atmospheric scientist Chris Webster, is also intriguing for astrobiologists. On Earth, 1,800 out of every billion molecules in the atmosphere is methane, and 95 percent of it comes for biological sources: burning fossil fuels, decomposing debris, burping cows. Some of our planet's earliest organisms may have been methanogens — microbes that eat organic molecules and exhale methane gas.
Several spacecraft including Curiosity have detected whiffs of this gas that “defied explanation,” Webster said. Methane is quickly broken down by radiation, so it must be replenished by some source on the planet. One explanation “that no one talks about but is in the back of everyone's mind,” as Goddard planetary scientist Mike Mumma put it to Science last winter, is that methanogens beneath the Martian surface were breathing it out.
“You'd expect life to be seasonal,” Mumma noted. But it was also possible that puffs of methane were delivered to the desert world by crashing meteorites or other less thrilling sources.
By examining data spanning nearly three Martian years (six Earth years), Webster and his colleagues discerned the first repeating pattern in Martian methane. During the summer months, levels of the gas detected by Curiosity rose to about 0.7 parts per billion; in winter, they fell to roughly half that. They suggest that warmer conditions might release the gas from reservoirs beneath the surface.
The results don't explain shorter-lived spikes in methane levels — as high as 45 parts per billion — that have been detected. And even if the reservoir explanation is correct, it remains to be seen what's feeding them.
To determine whether the methane is biological, Webster said, scientists can weigh the kinds of carbon atoms it contains (life prefers the lighter versions). Future missions might also seek places where there's “significant seepage” and attempt to figure out its source.
In a commentary for Science, astrobiologist Inge Loes ten Kate of the Utrecht University in the Netherlands, explained what makes these two studies so compelling:
“Curiosity has shown that Gale crater was habitable around 3.5 billion years ago, with conditions comparable to those on the early Earth, where life evolved around that time,” she wrote. “The question of whether life might have originated or existed on Mars is a lot more opportune now that we know that organic molecules were present on its surface at that time.”
Alien disclosure soon? Turkey Govt confirms authenticity of UFO sighting in 2009
Alien disclosure soon? Turkey Govt confirms authenticity of UFO sighting in 2009
By Nirmal Narayanan
It happened on May 13, 2009, at around 2.20 AM and the flying object had interestingly two aliens sitting in the UFO.

Conspiracy theorists all across the world are now in a state of ecstasy as NASA, the world's leading space agency has confirmed the presence of organic matter on Mars.
The presence of organic matter and methane on Mars could indicate the existence of ancient alien life forms on the Red Planet, they said and in another development, the Turkish government has confirmed the authenticity of a UFO sighting that it said happened way back in 2009.
The bizarre sighting apparently happened on May 13, 2009, at around 2.20 AM. The video shows an eerie flying object hovering in the skies, and interestingly two aliens sitting in the UFO were clearly visible in the footage.
Upon the release of the video, it sparked debate among alien buffs and UFO enthusiasts. The Council for Scientific and Technological Research insisted on studying this video to check its authenticity. Now, after nearly nine years, the Council has made it clear that the object spotted in the video did not have any earthly roots. The research report also added that the video was not subjected to any kind of editing, the object present in the video exists intact as in the original record.
"Even though a detailed analysis of the footage is conducted, it might still remain unidentified. Hence, other reference objects need to be recorded in the same frame with a disputable object and further shootings need to be done by ourselves with special equipment in the same locations and conditions," said the government agency, reports Disclose TV.
Between 2007 and 2009, several UFO incidents took place in Turkey which involved 12 eyewitnesses. Many UFO buffs consider the sightings in Turkey the most authentic alien sighting which has ever happened in the human history.
Collectively called the Kumburgaz UFO incident, the mysteries surrounding these sightings still remain unanswered.
Jupiter is nothing but clouds, a mass of gas floating in space. So, the question of how lightning storms exist there (or, for that matter, on the “Cloud City” planet Bespin, in Star Wars) has intrigued scientists ever since NASA’s Voyager 1 probe first sent back evidence of Jovian lightning in March 1979. That data — visible light and radio signals produced by the bolts’ electrical discharges — suggested that lightning there is different from that on Earth. Now, after 39 years, a NASA study sheds light on the true nature of Jupiter’s mysterious bolts.
For the past two years, NASA’s Juno space probe has been arcing by Jupiter, swinging close enough to the gas giant’s cloud cover to solve the mystery. Juno’s findings, described in the Naturepaper published Wednesday, suggest that most of NASA’s head-scratching in 1979 was warranted: Jupiter’s lightning seemed different than Earth’s because the data showed only a part of the picture. “No matter what planet you’re on, lightning bolts act like radio transmitters — sending out radio waves when they flash across a sky,” according to a statementreleased Wednesday by lead author Shannon Brown, Ph.D., a researcher at the Airborne Science Program at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA’s 39 years of confusion, it seems, may come down to the fact that early probes were unable to detect the relevant waves.
An animated representation of NASA’s Juno spacecraft's 53-day polar orbit around Jupiter.
The original Voyager 1 data showed that Jupiter’s lightning had a curious gap in the megahertz and gigahertz ranges typical of lightning here on Earth. In particular, the data showed only emissions in the low-frequency kilohertz range; on Earth, lightning emissions are usually measured in the high-frequency gigahertz range. Juno’s sensitive Microwave Radiometer Instrument (MWR)’s recordings of the planet’s electromagnetic emissions, however, show that the relevant emissions were always there. The key was swooping close enough to the lightning to get a closer look.
“In the data from our first eight flybys, Juno’s MWR detected 377 lightning discharges,” says Brown. “They were recorded in the megahertz as well as gigahertz range, which is what you can find with terrestrial lightning emissions. We think the reason we are the only ones who can see it is because Juno is flying closer to the lightning than ever before.” Specifically, Juno reached within 3,000 miles of Jupiter’s cloud cover at the closest point in its orbit. Another reason that Juno’s MWR succeeded where many previous satellite probes — like Voyagers 1 and 2, Galileo, and Cassini — failed is, in part, because it was listening to Jupiter’s electrical storms on a radio frequency capable of passing through the charged particles in the planet’s ionosphere. (“The measurements were at 600 MHz,” Brown said in an email to Inverse.)
The new data puts to rest an older theory attempting to explain why previous probes circling Jupiter were not able to pick up megahertz or gigahertz signals: In 1985, French astrophysicist Philippe Zarka, Ph.D. speculated in an Astronomy and Astrophysics letter that Jupiter’s lightning only produced those lower-hertz range signals because it moved eerily slow compare to Earth lightning. That strange explanation can be shelved now, but there are still truly unusual things about Jupiter’s lightning. All lightning is formed, in part, as a reaction to heat, which is one of the reasons that lightning on Earth strikes most at points near the equator. But on Jupiter, the heat from the sun along the equator merely cancels out the heat emanating out from the planet’s hot core. The result is that lightning strikes most on Jupiter at the poles, where the hot/cold fronts from the core and the upper atmosphere provoke the most turbulence.
Juno will continue to collect data from Jupiter until at least July 2021, thanks to a recent extension from NASA, a good thing given that the findings continue to produce new questions. For example: “Even though we see lightning near both poles,” Brown asks, rhetorically, “why is it mostly recorded at Jupiter’s north pole?”
During a recent press conference, NASA scientists made two major announcements that further strengthen the case for a potentially habitable Martian past.

In the first part of the announcement, NASA researchers announced the discovery of organic compounds in 3.5-billion-year-old rocks sampled at Gale Crater. The site is poised between Mars’ flat northern lowlands and the heavily cratered southern hemisphere, and presumably used to be an ancient lake and potentially habitable environment.

#BREAKING@NASA news! @MarsCuriosity rover found organic molecules on Mars! While this doesn’t mean that we’ve found concrete evidence of life on Mars, it is a good sign in our continuing search. We’re sending the Mars 2020 rover to dig deeper! https://go.nasa.gov/2JsPaON
NASA Finds Ancient Organic Material, Mysterious Methane on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has found new evidence preserved in rocks on Mars that suggests the planet could have supported ancient life, as well as new evidence in the Martian atmosphere that relates to...
These compounds, such as thiophene, 2- and 3-methylthiophenes, methanethiol, and dimethylsulfide, all point to an organic chemistry in Martian mudstone that is eerily similar to ours. Organic compounds are typically produced by lifeforms, although they could very well be sourced otherwise, such as from meteorites. So, this discovery doesn’t necessarily prove the lakebed was inhabited by life — it’s just another circumstantial evidence that it might have been. The novel organic compounds were identified by the rover’s Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument which sniffed dust sampled thanks to the rover’s recently repaired drill.
“Curiosity has not determined the source of the organic molecules,” said Jen Eigenbrode of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who is lead author of one of the two new Science papers. “Whether it holds a record of ancient life, was food for life, or has existed in the absence of life, organic matter in Martian materials holds chemical clues to planetary conditions and processes.”
In the second part of the announcement, researchers explained how methane levels recorded by Curiosity varied by the season. Over the last five years, the rover’s Tunable Laser Spectrometer measured the methane levels in the atmosphere around it. Methane levels average 0.41 parts per billion (ppb), but varied from 0.24 to 0.65 ppb depending on the season. Because a day on Mars is about 24hours and 37 minutes long and the Red Planet’s axial tilt is almost identical to Earth’s, the seasons there follow a remarkably similar variation to those on Earth.
The seasonal variability of Methane on Mars is indicative of some geological process. Perhaps there is more active water in the subsurface than previously thought.

“This is the first time we’ve seen something repeatable in the methane story, so it offers us a handle in understanding it,” said Chris Webster of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, lead author of the second paper. “This is all possible because of Curiosity’s longevity. The long duration has allowed us to see the patterns in this seasonal ‘breathing.'”
These recent breakthroughs raise confidence that NASA’s upcoming 2020 rover mission, as well as ESA’s Exomars rover, will be able to find even more organics in the Martian shallow subsurface.
“Are there signs of life on Mars?” said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, at NASA Headquarters. “We don’t know, but these results tell us we are on the right track.”
Both studies were published in the journal Science (1 and 2).
Life on Mars? NASA discovers best evidence yet of potential life on Red Planet
Life on Mars? NASA discovers best evidence yet of potential life on Red Planet
NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered organic material in an ancient lakebed and confirmed a seasonal cycle of methane - offering the strongest evidence yet of potential life, past or even present, on the Red Planet.
The discoveries were revealed by NASA researchers in a highly-anticipated announcement on Thursday, and details have been published in the journal Science.
The revelations build on a similar announcement made by NASA in 2014, where scientists confirmed that they had discovered chlorinated molecules on the planet for the first time. This latest evidence, however, is far more compelling.
Ancient organic material & mysterious methane! @MarsCuriosity rover has found new evidence preserved in rocks suggesting the planet could’ve supported ancient life + new evidence in the atmosphere that relates to the search for current life on Mars: https://go.nasa.gov/2LwxeDs
The Curiosity rover discovered organic matter preserved in 3-billion-year-old mudstones at the Gale Crater. The material was located in the first layers of rock, some four miles away from where the chlorinated molecules had been found.
“All life as we know it is based on organic molecules,” Jen Eigenbrode, a research scientist at Goddard, said during the press announcement, suggesting that, while this evidence doesn’t definitely prove there is life on Mars, the signs are there to investigate further.
Oh, these are #organics in my neighborhood... Methane swells each summer and ancient carbon-compounds locked in rocks. I haven't found life on Mars, but signs say…we’re on the right track. https://go.nasa.gov/2HwATPi
Questions remain, however, as to how the organic material was formed. “While we don’t know the source of the material, the amazing consistency of the results makes me think we have a slam-dunk signal for organics on Mars,” Eigenbrode said. “It is not telling us that life was there, but it is saying that everything organisms really needed to live in that kind of environment, all of that was there.”
Another team of scientists, led by Christopher Webster from the California Institute of Technology, presented evidence that methane concentrations detected on Mars follow strong seasonal variations. The seasonal variation provides an important clue for determining the origin of martian methane.
Webster explained that this is an exciting discovery because 99 percent of methane produced on earth has a biological origin, giving examples of rice paddies and termites. He also pointed out that as methane only lasts for 300 years in the atmosphere and any detections mean that it was created or released relatively recently.
Overall, the latest discoveries bode well for future endeavours. "The chances of being able to find signs of ancient life with future missions, if life ever was present, just went up," said Curiosity's project scientist, Ashwin Vasavada.
Now and again, I get asked for my views on anextremelycontroversial UFO case that first surfaced back in 1980. It all revolved around the supposedshooting of an extraterrestrialcreature on a military base in New Jersey. The statement was made to the late UFO researcher, Leonard Stringfield, who was a long-time collector of stories of crashed UFOs and dead aliens. It’s a story told by the key source, a man that Stringfield gave the pseudonym of “Jeffrey Morse.” On September 23, 1980 Stringfield received a communication in the mail from “Morse,” who claimed a military background and who had a startling tale to tell. It began as follows:
“In January of 1978, I was stationed at McGuire AFB, N.J. One evening, during the time frame of 0300 hrs. and 0500 hrs., there were a number of UFO sightings in the area over the air field and Ft. Dix MP’s were running code in the direction of Brownsville, N.J. A state trooper then entered Gate #5 at the rear of the base requesting assistance and permission to enter. I was dispatched and the trooper wanted access to the runway area which led to the very back of the air field and connected with a heavily wooded area which is part of the Dix training area. He informed me that a Ft. Dix MP was pursuing a low flying object which then hovered over his car. He described it as oval shaped, with no details, and glowing with a bluish-green color. His radio transmission was cut off. At that time in front of his police car, appeared a thing, about 4 feet tall, grayish, brown, fat head, long arms, and slender body. The MP panicked and fired five rounds from his .45 cal. into the thing, and one round into the object above. The object then fled straight up and joined with eleven others high in the sky. This we all saw but didn’t know the details at the time. Anyway, the thing ran into the woods towards our fenceline and they went to look for it. By this time several patrols were involved.
“We found the body of the thing near the runway. It had apparently climbed the fence and died while running. It was all of a sudden hush-hush and no one was allowed near the area. We roped off the area and AFOSI came out and took over. That was the last I saw of it. There was a bad stench coming from it too. Like ammonia smelling but wasn’t constant [in] the air. That day, a team from Wright-Patterson AFB came in a C141 and went to the area. They crated it in a wooden box, sprayed something over it, and then put it into a bigger metal container. They loaded it in the plane and took off. That was it, nothing more said, no report made and we were all told not to have anything to say about it or we would be court-martialed.
“I will be getting out of the Air Force in about two months. Do not disclose my name as I could get into trouble. I am interested in pursuing this and other matters if you need help. Forgive me for not signing this but I can’t take any chances. Please reply to the above address and my parents will forward it to me or I will be home already. Don’t send it here because they monitor all mail closely and I again don’t want to take any chances.”
Stringfield dug deep into the story, checking things out for himself and enlisting the help of the late UFO investigator, Richard Hall. Stringfield was able to chat with “Morse” on the phone just a few weeks before Christmas 1983. Hall met with “Morse,” in January 1985, in Washington, D.C. Hall told Stringfield shortly afterwards that he, Hall, “…detected nothing in his manner, or story, to cause skepticism.” In addition, “Morse” provided a military document (DD Form 1569) that detailed the shooting of the alien. Unfortunately, the document was a photocopy – which made it worthless, since anyone could have concocted it. It would have been far more impressive had it been an original.
There is very little doubt that this case is bogus, even though there is a degree of data suggesting “Morse” really was employed at McGuire AFB. Indeed, he provided a name of one person connected to the base – and allegedly connected to the affair, too – at the time of the alleged incident, and which did prove to be accurate. But, I’m still not impressed.
I refer you to a lengthy report prepared by NIDS, the National Institute of Discovery Science. Its title: “Preliminary Investigation Into The Alleged Shooting Of A Non-Human Entity At Ft. Dix/McGuire Air Force Base On January 18, 1978.” The report states (after a great deal of in-depth digging was over): “NIDS’ working hypothesis (which is subject to change based on further emerging evidence) is that the 1978 McGuire AFB incident did not happen. Further, the putative fabrication of the DD form 1569 suggests that the Fort Dix/McGuire incident may be a hoax.”
Due to the near-unfathomable distances between most of the objects in the known universe, it may take millions of years for attempts at extraterrestrial communication to succeed. That hasn’t stopped us from trying, though. Numerous messages intended to break the ice between humankind and potential alien civilizations have been sent into space, from the rather crude Arecibo message beamed into the cosmos via radio waves in 1974 to the slightly more advanced “Golden Record” sent along on NASA’s Voyager spacecraft.
While experts from a wide variety of fields weigh in on the content of these messages, we have no Earthly idea whatsoever how any potential alien races might interpret these messages. Communication in all of its forms is culturally or biologically bound, and we don’t have any precedent for how interstellar communication might function out in the universe.
What if the Golden Record is found by a species which eats gold? That’s an expensive interstellar snack.
For that reason, our attempts to send messages into space have consisted mostly of basic mathematical and scientific knowledge and brief snapshots of what life here on Earth is like for humans and animals. I mean, we wouldn’t want to offend our cosmic neighbors with any culturally-specific information which might be potentially misinterpreted as a threat or act of intergalactic war, would we?
No, we wouldn’t, which is why the idea to blast a distant planet with electronic dance music is horribly misguided. Throughout May 2018, electronic dance music (EDM) was beamed into deep space in the direction of GJ 273, otherwise known as Luyten’s Star, as part of a project being led by the Sónar Music Festival, the Catalonia Institute of Space Studies, and METI International (Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). Luyten’s Star is in the Canis Minor constellation only about 12 light-years away and is orbited by two planets, one of which is believed to be a “Super Earth” in the Goldilocks zone which can hypothetically support life.
Luyten’s Star is a red dwarf star with a mass of about a quarter of the Sun’s.
Last year, the same festival beamed two messages at Luyten’s Star, but they consisted of two brief pulses of radio signalsmeant to symbolize a musical interval and the human perception of time. This year, 35 different EDM songs were sent along with the typical mathematical and physics tidbits meant to display our intelligence. Although given that we also included music, I’m not sure that will go over well.
How will any potential intelligent aliens there feel about EDM from the likes of Daedelus and other electronic musicians? Music, like all art forms and communication media, is a cultural activity which might not have the same meaning for a completely different species. Could this percussive, bass-heavy music be interpreted as a threat or some kind of interstellar weapon? Or will any aliens orbiting Luyten’s Star go on believing that EDM is the dominant form of communication on Earth? What would they think of us?
They’d probably think we need to stop twiddling knobs and pick up some real instruments for a change. Yeah, I said it.
Unfortunately, all of these questions are impossible to answer due to the socially constructed nature of music. Ultimately, any message we send into space could be interpreted or misinterpreted in ways we can’t even imagine. Is it wise to send music into space?
Most hypotheses about a giant yet unseen Planet 9 orbiting the Sun are based on the need to explain why many space objects in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune have orbits that are so contrary to those of the planets and closer objects that they border on impossible … unless something with a massive gravitational pull is messing with them. While one big Planet 9 would explain the odd orbits, some astronomers now say it’s not the only one and have come up with a different theory that replaces Planet 9 with a large number of smaller objects that together are cooperatively creating the curiously curving orbits. Will Planet 9 be replaced by Planets 9 through 99 or more?
A press release from the University of Colorado describes the announcement at the 232nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society this week of this controversial new theory on the orbits of so-called detached objects or Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNO) in the far reaches of the solar system which behave as if they’re not affected by the gravity of the Sun. Assistant Professor Ann-Marie Madigan and a team of researchers were studying the detached objects and astrophysics student Jacob Fleisig noticed that the objects moved like the hands of a clock, with smaller objects orbiting fast and in tandem like a minute hand, while larger objects (like the dwarf planet Sedna) move slower like an hour hand. As those familiar with non-digital clocks know, (If you’re not, ask Grandpa), the two hands meet every hour and would crash into each other if they weren’t on slightly different planes. Fleisig realized that wouldn’t be the case with detached objects.
“You see a pileup of the orbits of smaller objects to one side of the sun. These orbits crash into the bigger body, and what happens is those interactions will change its orbit from an oval shape to a more circular shape.”
Eventually, these collisions would send the more massive objects, like Sedna, into extreme and unusual orbits father away from the Sun. While they only modeled a small number of detached objects (about 400), the results were as they expected. This new theory of a large amount of small objects messing up the TNO orbits would explain the biggest mystery of Planet 9 … where is it?
On the other hand (to continue the clock analogy), Madigan points out that the ‘collective gravity of small objects’ theory does not explain why all of the objects are tilted in the same direction – something that, at least for now, only a big Planet 9 could cause.
On the other other hand, Fleisig’s collision theory may explain something closer to home – the extinction of the dinosaurs. All of that banging and crashing may have whacked some debris in the direction of Earth, creating a catastrophic comet calamity that killed the cold-blooded creatures. While not proven, it’s a possibility.
If you wonder why anyone today would consider a career in astronomy, the study of these objects in the Kuiper Belt should be an enticement, says Madigan.
“The picture we draw of the outer solar system in textbooks may have to change. There’s a lot more stuff out there than we once thought, which is really cool.”
Today, I’m sharing with you three intriguing stories from the U.K., all of which are focused on strange “things” which fell from the skies and that were never resolved. Could they have been objects from other worlds? I guess so. But, I’m far more inclined to think that we’re probably dealing with, in the first case, unusual but natural phenomena. And, in the second and third cases, almost certainly domestic technology, quite likely of the U.K. military. They may not have had anything to do with extraterrestrial visitations, but they are still highly intriguing.
The first case dates back to the final days of 1965. It was December 17 of that year when a man named Kenneth William Reece encountered – late at night – what he told both the U.K. Ministry of Defense and the Royal Air Force was a bright, circular “white light” which he watched descend into a valley between Mold and Ruthin, in North Wales, U.K. Interestingly, the RAF’s files state that the bright light descended extremely slowly, to the extent that Reece was able to watch its descent for close to a couple of minutes. After which, it “exploded and disintegrated,” as the Ministry of Defense noted. The matter was never resolved, despite the fact that an aerial search by the military was undertaken the next day.
Moving on, we have a story that was given to English UFO researcher, Jenny Randles, in 1991, and which was published in the No. 152 issue of her Northern UFO News. Randles withheld the name of the witness, only referring to him as “M.L.,” of the county of Staffordshire, which is where I grew up as a kid. It was while driving to meet friends in an area called Churnet Valley (yes, another valley, intriguingly) that the witness saw a strange-looking object/craft/device (take your pick) falling from the sky and hurtling to the ground. It was described as being around three meters in length, silver in color, and missile-like in shape. M.L. soon contacted the police. A police-helicopter crew scoured the area of woodland the next day, but nothing was found. At least, nothing physical was found. But, a noticeable depression was discovered in the ground, suggesting that something had slammed into the ground. That it seemingly didn’t hang around only added to the mystery.
Three years later, it was time for the people of the village of Church Lench (near the U.K.’s Cotswolds) to encounter something which fell from the skies. It was described by the people close enough to see it as a large barrel-shaped object. The Army was soon on the scene, keeping people away from the impact site, and creating cordons. The Royal Navy had a presence too. Indeed, the rumor-mill in and around Church Lench was that the object was taken away on a Navy truck. Despite the fact that the story got a lot of local media coverage, the military stayed silent.
One of those who was willing to chat with the media was a man named Paul Brooke. He said: “There were several fire engines and lots of police here. The area was cordoned off and people were stopped from entering the field. Then at about eight that night it was taken away by a Royal Navy vehicle with a police escort at the front and back.”
A spokesperson for the Eversham Police said: “I can’t categorically say that it did not happen, but my investigations have revealed that it was a bale of straw that was on fire and which was put out by the fire brigade. The reports of something falling from the sky may either be hoaxes or somebody may have seen something and come to the wrong conclusion.”
It was a statement that impressed precisely no one who lived locally. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if something had fallen from a military aircraft, hence the reason why the authorities were on the scene so quickly. In light of all the above, keep your eyes looking upward!
The sprawling oceans of our planet have long been a wellspring of tales of the strange and the unexplained, perhaps not surprising considering the sheer vastness of their largely unexplored depths. Among all of the various phenomena of the sea, perhaps the most well-known is that famous anomalous region of vanishing ships and planes called the Bermuda Triangle, which has long been a persistent paranormal mystery and the subject of much debate and speculation. Yet, the Bermuda Triangle is not the only such vortex of missing ships, and half a world away, in a whole other ocean, there lies a counterpart in the waters near Japan, which by all accounts is just as strange as its Bermuda cousin.
The area that has come to be known variously as the Devil’s Sea, the Dragon’s Triangle, Ma-no Umi in Japanese, and the Taiwan Triangle, is an expanse of ocean lying off the coast of Japan that has over the centuries accrued a sinister reputation for swallowing vessels up to never be seen again. The exact location of this dreaded patch of malevolent ocean remains nebulous, with most estimates putting it as a triangle with one corner in Taiwan, another at the Japanese island of Miyake-jima, and another at the island of Iwo-jima, although reports vary and the exact geographical dimensions and perimeter fluctuate and are uncertain. What is consistent is that this place has a dark history that goes way back, and involves ships and aircraft disappearing without a trace, sort of like a Bermuda Triangle of the Orient.
Miyake-jima, Japan
The region has apparently been seen as a menace since around 1,000 BC, when it was widely believed that dragons lurked in the depths here, pulling down various fishing and military vessels to their doom. One story tells of how the warlord and 5th Khan of the Mongol Emprire, Kublai Khan, tried to invade Japan twice in the years 1274 and 1281 by crossing the Devil’s Sea and ended up losing many of his ships and around 40,000 men in the process, with many of these wrecks still dotting the ocean floor in their watery graves. Through the centuries since, the area was supposedly known as a place to be avoided, and countless fisherman and travelers were said to venture out over the waves to vanish off the face of the earth here.
However, for all of these alleged mysterious disappearances the phenomenon remained largely unknown to the outside world until the notable author Charles Berlitz published his 1974 book on the matter, titled The Bermuda Triangle, which mentions the Devil’s Sea, as well as a follow-up 1989 book The Dragon’s Triangle, which was devoted to it and provided numerous modern cases of supposed vanishings in the area. Berlitz claimed that Japan had lost at least 5 military vessels between the years of 1952 and 1954, along with their crews totaling 700 men, all of whom were supposedly never heard from again. The Japanese government also sent a research vessel called the Kaio Maru No. 5 into the area on September 24, 1953, but it too disappeared with its crew of 31, becoming one of the most well-known casualties of the Devil’s Sea and also prompting the government to issue a warning that the area was unsafe for travel.
Interestingly, besides ships or planes seeming to cease to exist, the Devil’s Sea has allegedly produced reports of many other weird phenomena as well. UFOs are frequently spotted in the area, as well as ghost ships and mystery lights out over the waves. In addition, there are accounts of people experiencing lost time, inexplicably malfunctioning equipment, or anomalous magnetic disturbances.
Due to this high strangeness and the number of missing ships in the region, and greatly helped along by Berlitz’s mainstream book, the Devil’s Sea has become known as a phenomenon similar to the more well-known Bermuda Triangle, and has such generated plenty of theories as to why this particular stretch of ocean should claim so many lives. Perhaps the most rational lies in the fact that the two islands most often associated with the triangle, Miyake-jima and Iwo-jima, happen to lie right along a line of very active undersea volcanoes called the Izu-Bonin volcanic arc, which spans 2,500 km across the Pacific all the way to Guam. Considering this, violent volcanic activity or related underwater seismic events could very well be causing some of these reported vanishings. Indeed, in his book The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved, skeptical researcher Larry Kusche blames a volcano called Myōjin-shō on the incident with the Kaio Maru No. 5, pointing out that debris actually was found that suggested this, and going even further to mention that this particular volcano wasn’t even in the traditional Devil’s Sea to begin with.
Other rational theories are that these vessels were lost due to storms or some environmental phenomena, or were just the victims of the any one of the other many perils inherit to the ocean. With the sheer size of the purported Devil’s Sea and the heavy boat traffic through the region, it seems only natural that there should be wrecks and even vanishings, and perhaps these have been over exaggerated as being caused by supernatural phenomena focused on this one area.
One of the more fringe theories about the Devil’s Sea is linked to a concept put forward by the cryptozoologist and paranormal researcher Ivan T. Sanderson. In the 1960s and 70s Sanderson came up with the idea that the earth was intersected with lines of power that converged at 12 portals located throughout the world, which he referred to as the “Vile Vortices.” He believed that these vortices formed triangles in a certain pattern along particular lines of latitude, including the infamous Bermuda Triangle, that were responsible for making ships and planes vanish through mysterious means, possibly even to other dimensions through some sort of doorway. These vile vortices have been blamed for the phenomena of the Bermuda Triangle, as well as for other areas of the planet that have been ground zero for strange disappearances or paranormal phenomena, and the Devil’s Sea apparently lies right in the middle of one. Sanderson would write of these vortices and the Devil’s Sea in an article in Saga Magazine called The Twelve Devil’s Graveyards Around the World.
Then of course there is the idea that the Devil’s Sea never really existed at all outside of the minds of the writers who have covered it. Many skeptics have pointed out that there seem to be no reports or mentions of the Devil’s Sea or its bizarre vanishings in newspapers or other publications prior to Sanderson’s work on vile vortices and the publication of Berlitz’s book, even in Japan, and that almost every piece of literature on the phenomenon can be traced back to these works on the matter, with little verification or sources to back up their vague claims and frequent bending of certain facts to fit in more with the Devil’s Sea mystery. All of the books and articles on the phenomenon seem to begin there, gradually building upon the history and mythology of the Devil’s Sea to the point where it is no longer possible to disentangle any fact from fiction. Is the whole mystery of the Devil’s Sea and its claimed history of centuries of unexplained vanishings and paranormal phenomena merely a relatively recent invention based on a figment of the imagination and a twisting of facts?
We are left with an intriguing tale of the high seas, of a realm with a fearsome dark history where people venture to drop off the face of the earth without explanation, but is any of it true? Does a mysterious force thrum beneath the waves in this corner of the world, or is it all due to normal, natural phenomena? Is it somehow connected to other similar places such as the Bermuda Triangle? Or is it all tall tales and speculation? Indeed, has the Devil’s Sea ever even existed outside of the imagination at all? Whatever the case may be, it is all certainly an entertaining case of yet another supposed mysteries place in our world’s vast and little-understood oceans.
Last December, we learned about the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program or AATIP, a once-secret Pentagon program involved in the study of unexplained aerial phenomena or UFOs. The program came to public awareness after a lengthy article on its funding, secured in part by former Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, who secured assistance in the effort from his friend Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace.
A lot of additional details have emerged since that time, which include different acronyms for the Pentagon program, as well as the apparent presence of an entirely different parent organization, the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program or AAWSAP (for more on this, see Paul Dean’s original posts on his blog here, as well as MJ Banias’ article here at MU from last month).
However, our focus here has less to do with the serious matter of government UFO study groups, and more instead with that trusted philosophical idea that “life imitates art.” For it was also last year that a new audio drama appeared courtesy of Tor Labs, an imprint of famous science fiction and fantasy publishers Tor Books, which was launched with the express purpose of what it calls “experimental storytelling.”
In an era where podcasts and audiobooks have skyrocketed in popularity, it’s no wonder that traditional publishers would seek to capitalize on new, and often more accessible forms of media in audio formats, which offer the benefit of hands-free engagement for long car rides, office jobs, and those going about menial tasks around the house on Saturday mornings.
The first project Tor Labs offered was a podcast entitled Steal the Stars, described by The Verge as “a pulpy audio drama about the employees of a secretive government contractor that is studying a crashed UFO.” Or, briefly summarized:
“FORBIDDEN LOVE. A CRASHED UFO. AN ALIEN BODY. AN IMPOSSIBLE HEIST.”
This sounds all-too-familiar, and not just in relation to the synchronistic appearance of the AATIP/AAWSAP in public consciousness within just a few months of its launch. The long history of alleged government involvement in the UFO mystery, in addition to questions about the extent to which it occurs, have made UFO government secrecy a lasting trope in science fiction. Popular examples (though they barely need any further mention here) include TheX-Files, Dark Skies, and the slightly more obscure 1970 British science fiction television series UFO, to name a few.
As The Verge reports:
Across 14 episodes, Steal the Stars follows Dak (voiced by Ashlie Atkinson), the chief of security for a defense contractor called Quill Marine that in possession of an alien spacecraft buried deep underground. It’s Dak’s job to make sure that the ship and the alien contained within is kept secret, enforcing the company’s stringent security measures. But when she falls for a new hire, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Salem (voiced by Neimah Djourabchi), her life is turned upside down. Interpersonal romances are expressly forbidden, and the two go to great lengths to hide their newfound relationship as their corporate overlords demand more from the research team at the facility.
In an interesting marketing twist, the audio series was produced and presented in three different formats: a serialized version was made available as a weekly podcast, which featured advertisements which allowed monetization of the project, while still delivering the audio drama in a free, downloadable format. However, for those wishing to have an uninterrupted, ad-free listening experience, the program was made available for purchase also as an audiobook. Finally, Tor Books also produced a print novelization of the series as well, for consumers who prefer to absorb their science fiction the traditional way.

The combination of these media elements produces an interesting model, especially in an era here where both competition and cross-pollination between new media formats may yet lead to new means by which people enjoy such content. Pulp novels were all the rage during the 1940s and 50s, although radio format audio dramas were in existence, and saw some success in traditional broadcast venues. However, with the ease of access to listen-on-demand audio content in the Internet Age, the fields are ripe for picking as far as new and innovative creative niches.
“It’s love at first sight,” a promotional blurb for the novelization reads at its website, “which is a problem, since they both signed ironclad contracts forbidding fraternization with other military personnel. If they run, they’ll be hunted for what they know. Dak and Matt have only one way to be together: do the impossible. Steal Moss and sell the secret of its existence.”
Curiosity vindt nieuwe tekenen van leven op Mars. NASA geeft resultaten vrij
Curiosity vindt nieuwe tekenen van leven op Mars. NASA geeft resultaten vrij
Op Mars zijn nieuwe aanwijzingen gevonden dat er vroeger misschien leven mogelijk was. Daarnaast is ontdekt dat de hoeveelheid methaan in de dampkring van de rode planeet toe- en afneemt, wat erop kan wijzen dat er ook nu nog leven is op de planeet.
Het is nog geen onomstotelijk bewijs van leven, maar Mars vertelt ons dat we moeten blijven zoeken, aldus de Amerikaanse ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA.
Marsrover Curiosity onderzocht drie miljard jaar oude rotsen onder het oppervlak. Die bleken organische moleculen te bevatten, die gelden als bouwstenen van leven.
Ultieme resultaat
Curiosity stelde daarnaast vast dat de hoeveelheid methaan in de dampkring van de rode planeet varieert. Dit zou kunnen komen door organismen op Mars.
De Marsverkenner speurt al bijna zes jaar naar wetenschappelijke informatie over Mars. Het ultieme resultaat zou zijn dat het bestaan van aliens bewezen zou worden, aan de hand van onder meer de analyse van bodemmonsters.
Het organische materiaal dat nu gevonden is zou eventueel op het bestaan van buitenaards leven op Mars kunnen wijzen, stelt NASA.
Voor het eerst
Het is voor het eerst dat de aanwezigheid van organische moleculen in de Marsbodem zo duidelijk is vastgesteld.
Volgens het ruimteagentschap kunnen die moleculen ook afkomstig zijn van meteorieten of chemische processen in de rotsen zelf.

WETENSCHAPMarsrover Curiosity heeft organische moleculen in drie miljard jaar oude afzettingsgesteenten op de Rode Planeet en variërende hoeveelheden methaan in de Martiaanse atmosfeer gevonden. Dat heeft NASA meegedeeld. De vondst van organisch materiaal kan erop wijzen dat er leven op Mars is geweest, maar een bewijs daarvoor is het niet. Het methaangas kan dan weer eventueel wijzen op leven dat er nu nog zou zijn.
Marsverkenner Curiosity speurt al bijna zes jaar de Rode Planeet af, op zoek naar wetenschappelijke informatie over Mars. Het ultieme resultaat zou zijn dat het bestaan van aliens zou bewezen worden, aan de hand van onder meer de analyse van bodemstalen.
Nu is er alvast in een meerbedding organisch materiaal gevonden dat eventueel op het bestaan van buitenaards leven op Mars zou kunnen wijzen. Ooit, in het verleden. Daarnaast blijken de hoeveelheden methaan in de atmosfeer per seizoen te verschillen. Dit gas is op aarde voor 95 procent een afvalstof geproduceerd door levende organismen. De wetenschappers van NASA vinden het nog te vroeg om te besluiten dat dat ook het geval zou zijn op Mars. In dat geval zou er nu nog altijd leven op de Rode Planeet kunnen zijn. De bevindingen worden morgen in het vakblad Science gepubliceerd.
NASADe Galekrater.
Vandaag is de Marsbodem onbewoonbaar, maar toen de planeet nog warmer en natter was, bevond zich in de Galekrater, waar de Curiosity zijn boringen doet, een groot meer. Uit gegevens van Curiosity blijkt dat miljarden jaren geleden dat meer in de Galekrater alle ingrediënten bevatte die nodig waren voor het leven, inclusief chemische bouwstenen en energiebronnen. Zo vond de Marsjeep in de afzettingsgesteenten van zo’n 3 miljard jaar oud op amper 5 cm diepte drie verschillende soorten organische moleculen.
Organische moleculen bevatten koolstof en waterstof en kunnen ook zuurstof, stikstof en andere elementen bevatten. Hoewel ze vaak geassocieerd worden met het leven, kunnen ze ook worden aangemaakt door niet-biologische processen en zijn ze dus niet noodzakelijk indicatoren van leven. “Curiosity heeft de bron van de organische moleculen niet bepaald”, verduidelijkt Jen Eigenbrode van NASA. Ook voor het seizoensgebonden methaan bestaan er niet-biologische verklaringen.
Nog altijd geen ultiem bewijs van leven op Mars dus, maar volgens NASA zijn de bevindingen zeker een goed teken voor toekomstige missies om op de oppervlakte en wat dieper dan nu te zoeken naar sporen van leven op de Rode Planeet.
NASA has revealed that methane present in the atmosphere of Mars appears to vary at different points in the year.
This "seasonal variance" is believed to be due to the fact the methane is released by subsurface water-based crystals.
As the temperature rises and falls during Mars' orbit around the sun, it speeds up and slows down the release of methane from these crystals.
The atmospheric measurements were collected over three Martian years (55 Earth months) by NASA's Mars-based Curiosity rover before being analysed by scientists at the space agency.
"The data reveal that background methane levels on the Red Planet have a strong seasonal cycle, ranging between 0.24 to 0.65 parts per billion, peaking near the end of summer in the Northern hemisphere (end of winter in the Southern hemisphere)," NASA said in a press release.

On Earth, the majority of methane comes from biological processes - such as cattle manure - but on Mars the methane crystals are reckoned to be trapped in carbon-bearing organic molecules that could be billions of years old.
These molecules were discovered after analysing drill samples of soil taken from Mars' surface.
"Tools on board the Curiosity rover extracted the new samples and heated them, analyzing the molecules that were released," NASA said.
"The data reveal the presence of several organic molecules and volatiles reminiscent of organic-rich sedimentary rock found on Earth.
"Indeed, a comparison of these samples to organic traces in Martian meteorites also suggests that the former are derived from larger organic molecules.
Mars(Image: NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), J. Bell (ASU), and M. Wolff (Space Science Institute))
Other studies on soil surrounding the Gale Crater in Mars' northern hemisphere show extremely high levels of sulphur which could play a part in preserving the organic molecules for so long.
The space agency has previously refused to rule out that methane present on Mars could be an indicator of ancient alien life.
NASA scientist Dr Paul Mahaffy said in 2014: "We don’t want to eliminate anything and potentially it could indicate life or evidence of ancient methane trapped which could show ancient life.”
Curiosity has been exploring the 96-mile wide, 3.8-billion-year-old Gale Crater on Mars since 2012.
While satellites have spotted unusual methane plumes before, none have been as pronounced as those in the crater.
But some experts cautioned against jumping to the conclusion of life on Mars.
John Grotzinger, a scientist on the Curiosity team, said the detection of methane “is not an argument that we have found evidence of life on Mars, but it’s one of the few hypotheses that we can propose that we must consider”.
Will humans land on Mars in the next 20 years²?
The question of whether there is, or was, life on Mars may finally be answered by the second part of the European Space Agency's ExoMars mission, which will land a 300kg rover on the Red Planet in 2020.
NASA is developing capabilities needed to send humans on the 140 million-mile journey to Mars in the 2030s, though no mission has yet been approved
NASA finds organic matter on Mars, but sorry, that doesn't mean it's aliens
NASA finds organic matter on Mars, but sorry, that doesn't mean it's aliens
More than 3 billion years ago, Mars was a very different place.
It wasn't the rusty, dead seeming world we see today. Instead, lakes, rivers, and deltas likely covered much of the planet's surface. Thanks to previous NASA research, we know that at least some parts of the planet were, in fact, capable of supporting microscopic life as we understand it.
But who knows what once lurked within Martian waters.
Over the years, we've sent robotic missions to Mars to try to figure out the answer to this very question, and on Thursday, NASA announced that its Curiosity rover brought us another step closer toward figuring out if life once existed on the red world.
Two new studies published in the journal Science this week detail findings by Curiosity that hint at possible signs of life in Mars' distant past.
“With these new findings, Mars is telling us to stay the course and keep searching for evidence of life,” Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA, said in a statement.
“I’m confident that our ongoing and planned missions will unlock even more breathtaking discoveries on the Red Planet.”
Organics on Mars, but what about life?
One of the studies details organic compounds found by the rover in preserved rock that dates back about 3 billions years.
Organic compounds are incredibly important when hunting for life elsewhere in the solar system. All life on our planet is carbon-based, so finding organics elsewhere could hint, but not necessarily confirm, the existence of alien life.
While the organics themselves aren't signs of life — they could have been formed through natural geological processes — it's possible that the chains of carbon molecules found on Mars by Curiosity's drill were once part of something that was living or even food for a living creature, planetary geologist Kirsten Siebach said in an interview.
"The key point in this paper is that the specific molecules they’ve seen broke off a larger carbon-based molecule," Siebach, who wasn't involved with the new studies but does work with Curiosity, added.

That said, it's not as if Curiosity can trace back the origin of these organics, but at least the long-preserved molecules will give us hope for one day finding signs of life preserved in the rusty Martian dirt.
“Curiosity has not determined the source of the organic molecules,” Jen Eigenbrode, lead author of the organics study, said in the NASA statement.
“Whether it holds a record of ancient life, was food for life, or has existed in the absence of life, organic matter in Martian materials holds chemical clues to planetary conditions and processes.”
Seasonal changes in methane
A second study in Science also details another finding that might have some bearing on whether life exists or has ever existed on Mars.
Over the course of 3 years on Mars — which equates to about 6 years on Earth due to Mars being further from the sun — Curiosity kept an eye on how much methane it was able to detect in the planet's thin atmosphere at any given time.
Curiosity detected bursts of methane in the atmosphere at seemingly random times in the past, but the new study shows that the rover actually found a seasonal pattern in releases of methane these days.
"This is the first time we've seen something repeatable in the methane story, so it offers us a handle in understanding it," Chris Webster, lead author of the methane study, said in the statement.
"This is all possible because of Curiosity's longevity. The long duration has allowed us to see the patterns in this seasonal 'breathing.'"
Most of the methane in Earth's atmosphere is actually created by life (cow farts, for example). But that's not necessarily the case with Mars.
It's possible that the methane Curiosity found is actually created through basic geological interactions and is then released later on during seasonal changes in temperature, releasing more in the summer and less in the winter months.
And a note about alien hype
Both of these studies are objectively important, but that said, they were hyped beyond belief.
NASA sent out a pre-announcement stating that it would announce something about Mars about a week before the actually studies were released.
All this serves to do is create a situation in which an important — but relatively incremental — story is given a huge amount of attention for days ahead of the actual announcement.
Press coverage before the announcement was speculative at best and downright alien panic-inducing at worst.
And NASA can't feign ignorance that these pre-announcements don't create the hype.
The space agency knows exactly what it's doing when it releases vague announcements of an impending announcement every few weeks. Just look at how it worked out when it pre-announced something about alien life on other planets.
But NASA isn't the only culprit.
News organizations around the world buy into the very system that enables this kind of breathless hyping.
Every week, science journalists around the world agree to adhere to embargoes that ostensibly give us time to report out stories, talk to outside sources, and create a balanced picture of what a new study says.
It makes sense, in theory. This way we're all on the same timetable and have the same resources.
But that's not really how it plays out most of the time. When big studies like these are given spots in prominent journals, it creates a situation in which publications feel the need to cover a new finding, even if it's not that big, just for the sake of competition.
Plus, this kind of hype confuses the public, and at the end of the day, disappoints many folks who only keep track of space on the periphery.
If someone sees an occasional story about how NASA is going to announce some groundbreaking finding related to aliens, they will obviously get excited. However, when they find out what the actual story is? It may not be so exciting.
Fear not, though! There are ways to spot an over-hyped science news story coming. Just remember a few simple embargo times, and remember, if you see an announcement scheduled for one of these times, it's probably related to these journals and therefore, probably not about aliens:
NASA announcing something at 1 p.m. ET on a Wednesday? Yeah, that's the exact time that the journal Nature lifts its embargo each week.
How about 2 p.m. ET on a Thursday? Ah yes, that's when Science lifts its embargo.
You can also always check your friendly neighborhood science reporter's Twitter feed to see just how exasperated we all are when staring at an overhyped announcement from a mile away.
Here Are NASA’s Unreleased Apollo Mission Images They Don’t Want You To See
Here Are NASA’s Unreleased Apollo Mission Images They Don’t Want You To See
The idea that NASA has encountered Alien life during the Apollo missions has aroused the curiosity of thousands of experts in the field for decades.
Ever since NASA successfully landed on the moon, people have wondered whether or not the astronauts on the lunar surface—and during their trip to the moon—witnessed things they couldn’t rationally explain.
In other words; Alien spaceships and structures on the moon’s surface.
These questions were quickly turned into a conspiracy theory, and people who argue that the Apollo astronauts witnessed inexplicable things during their trip to the moon were called out as conspiracy nuts.
To date, the United States is the only country to have successfully conducted manned missions to the surface of Moon, with the last Apollo mission departing the lunar surface in December 1972.
Apollo 11 Moon Landing.

For nearly half a century—46 years to be precise—space agencies around the globe have avoided going to the moon.
But why?
Was it due to extremely high costs? Risks? Or is it that the moon is simply not an interesting place?
The truth is that today, 46 years after the last successful moon landing we have much better technology than we had 46 years ago.
Money isn’t an issue, for we always find money for things we want and need.
The moon is perhaps one of the most interesting places in the solar system, and numerous experts have claimed it is imperative for humans to establish a colony on the lunar surface.
So, what’s keeping us from landing on the moon?
A man called Bob Dean may answer the above question.
Mr. Dean is retired US Army Command Sergeant Major who served for 28 years.
He has given a number of interesting lectures, providing a wealth of information about not only the moon landings, Apollo missions, but also corroborating what numerous whistleblowers have said in the past.
During the Barcelona Exopolitics Summit, on July 25, 2009, Mr. Dean released a set of amazing images. He also explained the Apollo missions, and what astronauts encountered unlike anyone before him.
During the summit, Mr. Dean released to the public a set of fascinating images supposedly captured by astronauts of the Apollo 12 mission, including an image showing mysterious spacecraft several hundred feet in diameter.
During the lecture, Mr. Dean recounts how on the morning of the 2nd of February 1961, World War III almost began, and a fleet of unidentified flying objects were to blame:
“It appears that on the morning of the 2nd of February 1961, World War III almost started. It was involved in the flyover of large numbers of circular metallic craft, flying in formation, very obviously under intelligent control,” said Mr. Dean during the lecture.
Mr. Dean continued: “They would fly out of the Soviet sector in the Warsaw Pact toward the U.S. in formation at a high speed and at a very high altitude. They would turn north over the English Channel over the southern coast of England and then they would disappear off of NATO radar over the Norwegian Sea.”
“The Soviets went on red alert. The NATO forces went on red alert. Everybody was, you know … fingers on their triggers, thumbs poised above those red buttons. And World War III was just moments away,” explained Mr. Dean. “Within 20 minutes, it was all over. The objects flew, turned north and disappeared off of radar.”
Soon after the mysterious sighting that nearly triggered WWIII, a study of the occurred took place.
Experts concluded how “…planet Earth and the human race had been under some kind of survey or observation going on for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. They concluded, in 1964, that there were at least four different groups coming here, observing us, surveying us, analyzing us, closely watching us, what we were up to, what we were doing. They concluded that it did not appear to be a military threat involved, because their repeated demonstrations of incredibly advanced technology demonstrated to us that, if they had been hostile or malevolent, there was absolutely nothing we could do. If they were evil in their intent and they were hostile toward us, it would have been over a long time ago.”
“…the conclusion was there were four different groups involved,” explained Mr. Dean.
The next image, says Mr. Dean, shows a mysterious disc-shaped object with several hundred feet in diameter. It was snapped while astronauts made their way to the surface of the moon.
The next two images were taken by Apollo Astronauts when they were overflying the so-called Lansberg crater. According to Mr. Dean; “The astronauts in orbit above the Moon were particularly fascinated by the Lansberg crater. They had been given a special designation to take pictures of Lansberg, because the crater, which they named as the Lansberg, had things going on that were very anomalous. There was construction going on. There were gigantic facilities in the crater up there. So they were specifically delegated and assigned to photograph Lansberg to see if they could figure out what the hell was going on down there. While they were looking at Lansberg, this object happened to express interest in them and flew by. Now this line is an artificial line that was drawn to show you the … it gave the direction that this object was going. This is a good-size object flying past the Apollo Lander.”
Are these mysterious spots alien structures on the lunar surface?
Mr. Dean continued showing evidence gathered by astronauts from the Apollo 13 mission. The below image, says Mr. Dean, where taken as Apollo 13 astronauts were traveling to the moon when a number of things began happening. Some strange objects were appearing outside the windows of the spacecraft, so the Apollo 13 Astronauts grabbed their Hasselblad cameras and started taking pictures of what they had seen.
This photograph below shows three different objects.
Another image of the Apollo 13 ‘UFO’ encounter, as noted by Mr. Dean.

Interdimensional beings, Aliens From “Dimensions” That Coexist Alongside Our Own?
Interdimensional beings, Aliens From “Dimensions” That Coexist Alongside Our Own?
The definition for interdimensional beings or interdimensional intelligence is usually described as a theoretical or ‘real’ entity that exists in a dimension beyond our own.
Despite the fact that such beings are believed to exist only in science fiction, fantasy and the supernatural, there are numerous Ufologists who refer to them as real beings.
The Interdimensional Hypothesis
The interdimensional hypothesis was proposed by a number of Ufologists like Jacques Vallée who suggests that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related events (such as alien sightings) imply visits from beings from other “realities” or “dimensions” that coexist separately with ours. Some have referred to these beings as visitors from another universe.
In other words, Vallée and other authors suggest that aliens are real but exist not in our dimension, but in another reality, that coexists with our own.
This theory is an alternative to the extraterrestrial hypothesis which suggests that aliens are advanced spacefaring beings that exist in our universe.
The interdimensional hypothesis argues that UFOs are a modern manifestation of a phenomenon that has occurred throughout recorded human history, which in earlier times was attributed to mythological or supernatural creatures—Ancient Astronaut theory.
What if Aliens are travelers from another dimension? Does that mean we are alone in the universe after all?

But despite the fact that modern Ufologists and millions of people around the globe believe we are not alone in this universe, many ufologists and paranormal researchers have embraced the interdimensional Hypothesis, suggesting that it explains the Alien theory in a much smoother way.
Paranormal investigator Brad Steiger wrote that “we are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon that is largely originating from planet Earth.”
Other ufologists, such as John Ankerberg and John Weldon, who also favor the interdimensional hypothesis argue that UFO sightings fit in the spiritualist phenomenon.
Commenting on the disparity between the Extraterrestrial hypothesis and the reports that people have made of UFO encounters, Ankerberg and Weldon wrote that “the UFO phenomenon simply does not behave like extraterrestrial visitors.”
This Interdimensional Hypothesis took a step further in the book UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse published in 1970, where author John Keel linked UFOs to supernatural concepts such as ghosts and demons.
Some advocates of the extraterrestrial theory have embraced some of the ideas set forth by the Interdimensional Hypothesisbecause it does a better job explaining how ‘aliens’ could travel in space across vast distances.
The distance between the stars makes interstellar travel impractical using conventional means and since no one has demonstrated an antigravity engine or any other machine that would allow a traveler to move across the cosmos at speed faster than light, the Interdimensional Hypothesis makes much more sense.
Are aliens, in fact, interdimensional travelers?

According to this theory, is not necessary to use any method of propulsion because it maintains that UFOs are not spacecraft, but devices that travel between different realities. However, they still need to get from one reality to the other, right?
One of the benefits of the Interdimensional Hypothesis according to Hilary Evans—a British pictorial archivist, author, and researcher into UFOs and other paranormal phenomena—is that it can explain the apparent ability of UFOs to appear and disappear, not only from sight but from radar; as the interdimensional UFO’s can enter and leave our dimension at will, meaning they have the ability to materialize and dematerialize.
On the other hand, Evans argues that if the other dimension is slightly more advanced than ours, or is perhaps our own future, this would explain the tendency of UFOs to represent technologies close to the future.
Declassified FBI document—beings from other dimensions exist
While all of the above may sound like something coming from a sci-fi movie, there is a peculiar declassified top-secret document in the FBI archives which speaks of interdimensional beings, and how their ‘spacecraft’ have the ability to materialize and dematerialize in our own dimension.
Here is a transcript of some of the most important details of the report:
Part of the disks carry crews; others are under remote control
Their mission is peaceful. The visitors contemplate settling on this plane
These visitors are human-like but much larger in size
They are not excarnate Earth people but come from their own world
They do NOT come from a planet as we use the word, but from an etheric planet which interpenetrates with our own and is not perceptible to us
The bodies of the visitors, and the craft, automatically materialize on entering the vibratory rate of our dense matter
The disks possess a type of radiant energy or a ray, which will easily disintegrate any attacking ship. They reenter the etheric at will, and so simply disappear from our vision, without trace
The region from which they come is not the “astral plane,” but corresponds to the Lokas or Talas. Students of osoteric matters will understand these terms.
They probably cannot be reached by radio, but probably can be by radar. if a signal system can be devised for that (apparatus)

Artificial structure on Mars—three-sided Pyramid—verified in Science Journal
Artificial structure on Mars—three-sided Pyramid—verified in Science Journal
Mars, the red planet, has always fascinated mankind. For centuries have we pondered about the possibility if there is life on Mars, or if there ever was?
Now, the Cydonia Institute for Martian research has released more stunning images of supposed artificial structures on the Martian Surface, which make us question everything we have been taught about Mars in the past.
From Pyramidal structures to enigmatic shapes on the Martian surface that hints at possible intelligent design, Mars may have been the home of an advanced civilization billions of years ago.
Their latest discovery was presented by Founding investigator, George Haas, and geoscientist Bill Saunders who talked about the artificial structures and how SETI researchers acknowledge their findings in a recent interview with coast-to-coast.
A Three-sided Pyramid on Mars
As noted by experts in their study (click here) there is a three-sided pyramidal formation in the Candor Chasma region of Mars.
The formation is clearly seen in five NASA images snapped by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft.
In the study, Haas, Sunders, Miller, and Dale suggest the images from Mars reveal defining aspects of the formations three-sided Reuleaux geometry, exposing a uniform symmetry in its three, triangular faces.
A Pyramid on Mars, the result of intelligent design?
The idea that Mars was inhabited in the distant past by intelligent civilizations has captivated the imagination of countless philosophers in ancient times, and scientists in modern times.
Now, as technology evolves and as we have the opportunity to explore Mars like never before, we are seeing ‘structures’ on Mars that question whether or not we are alone in the universe.
In the study, a geologist and a geoscientist examine natural mechanisms that could contribute to the creation of the pyramidal formation and a claim of intelligent construction is proposed.
An extensive search of comparable regions within and beyond the area of Candor Chasma was conducted and terrestrial comparisons are also offered.
In fact, the Pyramid investigated by researchers from the Cydonia Institute caught the attention of world-renowned astronomer Carl Sagan more than 40 years ago.
Sagan, intrigued by the shape of the pyramidal structure on Mars, decided to present the image at the Royal Institution in London during his Christmas Lecture in 1977.
Furthermore, Sagan also featured the image in his 1980 book and television series Cosmos in which he made the following comment;
“The largest Mars Pyramids have a base width of 3 km and a height of 1 km, so they are much larger than the Pyramids of Sumer, Egypt, and Mexico. With the ancient eroded shape, they could be small hills, sandblasted for centuries, but they need to be viewed from nearby.”
Researchers conclude in their study: “We contend that the structural form of this three-sided pyramid observed within the western region of Candor Chasma is real and exhibits a level of geometry and symmetry that supports a high probability of artificial origins. We recommend that both NASA and the imaging team at the University of Arizona direct the current Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft acquire addition images of this anomalous surface feature.
De la vie sur Mars : Ces photos de la NASA montrent-elles des fossiles extraterrestres avant son “annonce majeure” ?
De la vie sur Mars : Ces photos de la NASA montrent-elles des fossiles extraterrestres avant son “annonce majeure” ?
L’annonce majeure de la NASA concernant Mars aujourd’hui a déclenché d’intenses spéculations, l’agence spatiale américaine dévoilera la preuve de la vie extraterrestre sur la planète rouge. Un chasseur d’OVNI prétend posséder des photos de la NASA de fossiles extraterrestres enterrés sur la planète rouge.
La NASA lèvera le voile sur sa dernière découverte aujourd’hui (jeudi 7 juin) après avoir taquiné le monde entier sans fournir d’informations sur sa dernière découverte passionnante.
Les passionnés de l’espace du monde entier ont été invités à se brancher en ligne aujourd’hui à 14 h HAE ou à 19 h, heure du Royaume-Uni (20 h en France).
La conférence de presse à laquelle ont participé les plus grands scientifiques de la NASA a attiré l’attention du monde entier et les passionnés de l’espace sont ravis de l’anticipation.
Et le chasseur d’OVNI Joe White pense qu’il a peut-être trouvé des indices de vie ancienne sur Mars avant la grande révélation de la NASA.
Le populaire passionné d’OVNI et journaliste de l’espace éponyme croit avoir trouvé des photos de ce qui pourrait être une scène de crime extraterrestre oubliée depuis longtemps.
M. White a présenté ses revendications bizarres sur sa chaîne YouTube ArtAlienTV, où il analyse des photos de Mars prises par les différents rovers de la NASA.
Dans une vidéo intitulée “Mars Burial Uncovered – Crime Scene Investigation”, M. White prétend montrer des photos d’un “crâne partiellement momifié” sur le sol.
Il dit dans la vidéo : “C’est assez similaire au soldat extraterrestre mort que j’ai trouvé il y a quelques années et que j’ai publié sur ma chaîne.”
“Il y a probablement 30 ou 40 de ces crânes d’extraterrestres maintenant. C’est l’un des meilleurs exemples.”
“Je les trouve pour la plupart, mais c’est un exemple d’une découverte d’un autre chercheur et c’est une découverte étonnante.”
“Quand vous commencez à observer attentivement les images, vous pouvez voir qu’il y a d’autres crânes et d’autres choses dans cette zone immédiate. C’est un peu comme une scène de crime.”
Les photos de “fossiles extraterrestres” douteux ont été prises par le Rover Spirit de la NASA le 648e jour martien de sa mission (Sol 648).
Le Spirit Rover de la NASA a atterri sur Mars en 2004 et a été actif jusqu’en 2010.
Tout comme le célèbre Rover Curiosity de la NASA, Spirit a pris 128 224 photos qui sont librement accessibles en ligne.
M. White a déclaré que les photographies sont la preuve irréfutable que les anciens extraterrestres ont déjà parcouru la planète rouge, mais il a demandé aux spectateurs de cesser de douter pendant un certain temps.
Il a dit : “Un esprit ouvert est nécessaire quand on regarde des images d’autres planètes. Un jour, notre survie en dépendra.”
Le Dr Barry DiGregorio, expert dans le domaine spatial, a déclaré que la NASA pourrait être prête à annoncer des preuves de vie microbienne sur Mars jeudi.
Mais quelles sont les chances que les photos de la NASA soient autre chose que des images sur-analysées de formations rocheuses aux formes bizarres ?
M. White lui-même admet dans ses vidéos sur les fossiles extraterrestres que les images pourraient être un cas classique de paréidolie – une ruse mentale particulière qui fait que les gens voient des formes et des motifs là où ils n’existent pas.
Le Jet Propulsion Laboratory de la NASA a écrit sur sa page : “La paréidolie est le phénomène psychologique où les gens voient des formes reconnaissables dans les nuages, les formations rocheuses ou d’autres objets ou données qui n’ont aucun lien entre eux.”
Did local weather alternate already kill all of the extraterrestrial beings we’ve got been in search of?
In line with astrophysicist Adam Frank, it is no doubt an opportunity — and whether or not people are doomed to the similar destiny might already be out of our palms.
Frank, a professor of physics and astronomy on the College of Rochester in New York, is the lead writer of a brand new paper printed Would possibly 1 within the magazine Astrobiology that goals to take what Frank calls a “10,000-light-year” view of anthropogenic (human-caused) local weather alternate. The use of mathematical fashions in keeping with the disappearance of a real-life misplaced civilization right here on Earth (the previous population of Easter Island), Frank and his colleagues simulated how quite a lot of alien civilizations would possibly upward push and fall in the event that they had been to more and more convert their planet’s restricted herbal assets into calories. [12 Possible Reasons We Haven’t Found Aliens]
“The regulations of physics call for that any younger inhabitants, construction an energy-intensive civilization like ours, goes to have comments on its planet,” Frank mentioned in a remark. “Seeing local weather alternate on this cosmic context can provide us higher perception into what is going down to us now and find out how to take care of it.”
The effects, as chances are you’ll be expecting, had been usually beautiful grim. Of 4 not unusual “trajectories” for energy-intense civilizations, 3 led to apocalypse. The fourth state of affairs — a trail that concerned changing the entire alien society to sustainable assets of calories — labored handiest when civilizations known the wear they had been doing to the planet, and acted within the straight away.
“The closing state of affairs is probably the most horrifying,” Frank mentioned. “Even supposing you probably did the appropriate factor, if you happen to waited too lengthy, you’ll want to nonetheless have your inhabitants cave in.”
3 paths to apocalypse
For Frank, the trail to modeling an apocalypse begins with Easter Island.
“Easter Island items a specifically helpful instance for our personal functions since it’s continuously taken as a lesson for world sustainability,” Frank and his colleagues wrote within the paper. “Many research point out that Easter Island’s population depleted their assets, resulting in hunger and termination of the island’s civilization.”
Running from earlier equations that modeled the autumn of Easter Island’s inhabitants along the depletion of its assets, the staff discovered 4 imaginable finish issues for a hypothetical alien civilization in a similar way constrained by means of restricted herbal assets.
4 eventualities for the destiny of civilizations and their planets, in keeping with mathematical fashions advanced by means of Adam Frank and his collaborators. The black line displays the trajectory of the civilization’s inhabitants and the pink line displays the co-evolving trajectory of the planet’s state (a proxy for temperature).Michael Osadciw / College of Rochester representation
“The primary trajectory we discovered is what we name the die-off,” Frank mentioned.
On this state of affairs, the civilization’s inhabitants skyrockets over a brief time period, and because the extraterrestrial beings guzzle calories and belch out greenhouse gases, the planet’s temperature spikes, too. (On this find out about, temperature was once used to constitute human-made affects on the earth’s habitability by means of greenhouse fuel air pollution.) The inhabitants peaks, then all at once plummets as emerging temperatures make survival tougher and tougher. The inhabitants in the end ranges off, however with a fragment of the individuals who had been round earlier than. [Doomsday: 9 Real Ways the World Could End]
“Consider if seven out of 10 other people you knew died briefly,” Frank mentioned. “It is not transparent a fancy technological civilization may just live on that roughly alternate.”
The second one state of affairs is sustainability. Right here, each the planet’s inhabitants and its world temperature climb abruptly however then stage off when the civilization acknowledges how its useful resource control is affecting nature. To succeed in an equilibrium, Frank mentioned, the inhabitants would want to transfer from assets that take a top toll on the earth (like oil) to extra sustainable assets (like solar power). Civilization is stored!
Each the 3rd and fourth eventualities are referred to as “cave in.” Right here, as within the “die-off” state of affairs, each the planet’s inhabitants and the planet’s temperature upward push dramatically over a brief length. However this time, when other people get started death from a loss of fundamental assets, there aren’t any survivors. Whether or not a civilization simply dies off or completely collapses is dependent upon how delicate the surroundings is and the way briefly it responds to emerging populations.
Even supposing the civilization realizes it is destructive the surroundings and makes makes an attempt to modify to sustainable assets — a state of affairs referred to as “cave in with useful resource alternate” — it is too past due. The civilization would possibly see a short lived slowing within the inhabitants decline, however in the end, it drops to 0 anyway. The wear is finished; civilization is doomed.
Act now whilst civilization lasts
The variation between a sustainable long run and a dangerous cave in was once in large part depending on a inhabitants’s foresight — how quickly they discovered they had been destroying their planet, and the way briefly they took motion. In line with Frank, this distinction will have to encourage people to take local weather alternate severely.
“Throughout cosmic house and time, you’ll have winners — who controlled to peer what was once occurring and determine a trail via it — and losers, who simply could not get their act in combination and their civilization fell by means of the wayside,” Frank mentioned.
“The query is, which class will we need to be in?”
