NASA Satellites Make Magnetic Discovery in Turbulent Space Near Earth
NASA Satellites Make Magnetic Discovery in Turbulent Space Near Earth
By Samantha Mathewson, Space.com Contributor
NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft has detected magnetic activity occurring in a new and surprising way in the environment of near-Earth space.
Earth is surrounded by charged particles known as plasma. Most of these high-energy particles are deflected by the magnetosphere, which is the protective magnetic field that surrounds the planet. As Earth's magnetic-field lines absorb this energy, they stretch and eventually snap, releasing powerful bursts of particles toward Earth, which, in turn, can endanger satellites, spacecraft and astronauts in space.
This process, known as magnetic reconnection, is commonly observed in Earth's magnetosphere, generally under calm conditions. However, new data from NASA's MMS has shown for the first time that this process also occurs in the extremely turbulent near-Earth environment known as the magnetosheath, according to a statement from NASA.

"In the plasma universe, there are two important phenomena: magnetic reconnection and turbulence," Tai Phan, lead author of the study and a senior fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, said in the statement. "This discovery bridges these two processes."
The magnetosheath is the boundary between the magnetosphere and the solar wind, the charged particles that stream from the sun. It is made up of turbulent plasma and is one of the most chaotic regions in near-Earth space, NASA officials said in a video announcing the discovery.
In fact, due to the turbulence in this environment, before this latest study, researchers were not sure if magnetic reconnection could even occur in the magnetosheath, according to the statement.
NASA's MMS, which launched in 2015, consists of a group of four identical satellites that orbit near Earth in a pyramid formation. The satellites are designed to capture a much more detailed view of magnetic reconnection than earlier spacecraft could provide.
The new 3D observations captured by MMS show that magnetic reconnection behaves differently in the magnetosheath, according to the study, published May 9 in the journal Nature.
"Compared to standard reconnection that occurs over tens of thousands of miles, this new magnetic reconnection spans only a couple of miles within turbulent plasma," NASA officials said in the video. Thus, these smaller reactions accelerate particles 40 times faster than standard reconnection observed in the magnetosphere.
"The more we understand how those particles are accelerated, the better we can protect our spacecraft and astronauts as we explore deeper into the solar system," NASA officials added.
However, MMS instruments cannot capture turbulent reconnection in action, because the particles move too fast along narrow field lines measuring only a couple miles wide. Instead, using one of the MMS instruments — the Fast Plasma Investigation — the researchers developed a new technique to gather extra data points from the magnetosheath, providing a better understanding of how turbulent magnetic fields dissipate energy.
"The smoking gun evidence is to measure oppositely directed electron jets at the same time, and the four MMS spacecraft were lucky to corner the reconnection site and detect both jets," Jonathan Eastwood, co-author of the study and a lecturer at Imperial College London, said in the statement.
Huge Dust Storm on Mars Hits NASA's Opportunity Rover
Huge Dust Storm on Mars Hits NASA's Opportunity Rover

A massive dust storm on Mars has sidelined NASA's Opportunity rover, stalling the robot's science work as it waits out the still-growing tempest.
"As soon as the orbiter team saw how close the storm was to Opportunity, they notified the rover's team to begin preparing contingency plans," NASA officials said in a statement. "In a matter of days, the storm had ballooned." [The Greatest Mars Discoveries by Opportunity & Spirit]
As of Friday (June 8), the storm covers more than 7 million square miles of Mars (18 million square kilometers), according to NASA. That's an area larger than all of North America on Earth.
"Full dust storms like this one are not surprising, but are infrequent," NASA officials said in the statement. "They can crop up suddenly but last weeks, even months."
The area blanketed by the dust storm includes Perseverance Valley, Opportunity's current home on the vast Martian plains of Meridiani Planum.
Opportunity has been exploring Mars since 2004, but it runs on solar power. With the dust storm clogging up the sky, the amount of sunlight the rover can use to recharge has dropped. NASA compared the conditions to "an extremely smoggy day that blots out sunlight."
By Wednesday (June 6), Opportunity's power levels saw a major drop, forcing the rover to stop all science to conserve power. If the storm lasts too long, the main concern will be the Martian cold, a danger Opportunity has faced in the past, NASA officials said.
"There is a risk to the rover if the storm persists for too long and Opportunity gets too cold while waiting for the skies to clear," NASA wrote in the statement. Cold is thought to be what killed NASA's Spirit rover, Opportunity's twin, in 2010 after that robot got stuck in the Martian sand.
But Opportunity is a survivor. And it's seen dust storms bigger than the one it's experiencing now.

In 2007, a dust storm on Mars covered the entire planet and forced Opportunity to hunker down for two weeks in a sort of survival-mode of minimal operations. To save power, the rover went days without phoning home to its controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
It was during that 2007 storm that Opportunity's handlers worried about the rover's ability to power its vital survival heaters with the low power levels caused by that dust storm. But Opportunity survived.
In fact, Opportunity has been surviving for 15 years.
The rover (and its twin Spirit) launched separately to Mars in 2003 and landed in January 2004 for what was originally scheduled to be a 90-day mission. But like the dust storm now battering Opportunity, the rover's mission ballooned from 3 months to 15 years, 14 of them on the Martian surface.

Spanish researchers have found not one but three alien planets that are roughly the size of Earth. The similarities might end here, however, since the exoplanets are orbiting toasty close to their parent star.

There’s only one place in the universe we know for sure life exists: Earth. Absent any other evidence, our safest bet for finding carbon-based life outside this planet is to look for characteristics that mirror conditions on Earth. The most important ones would be orbiting a star at just the right distance in order to allow liquid water to form at the surface, having an atmosphere and magnetic field that shields life from radiation, and having energy sources to sustain metabolism. We don’t know this for sure, but a planet’s size may also be important, which is why the latest announcements by researchers at the Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of Oviedo are so exciting.
The new exoplanets were discovered by the K2 mission of NASA’s Kepler satellite using the transit method, which involves measuring the minute dimming of a distant star as a planet passes in front of it. According to the Spanish astronomers, the newly identified planets orbit a red dwarf star called K2-239, located about 160 light-years away from Earth, in the constellation Sextans.
The most interesting part about this system is the fact that three of its rocky planets are remarkably similar in size to Earth. Specifically, their size is within 1.1, 1.0 and 1.1 times Earth’s radius, respectively. The system also contains two super-Earths, which are both roughly twice Earth’s size.
However, astronomers haven’t set their hopes high for the habitability of these planets, which all orbit dangerously close to K2-239. The three planets orbit their star every 5.2, 7.8 and 10.1 days. While it’s also true that a red dwarf is far less bright than the sun, which is classed as a yellow dwarf star, the close proximity suggests these planets’ surface is at least a couple tens of degrees warmer than on Earth.
Astronomers also don’t have much other information about these planets, such as their atmospheric composition. That’s a job for the upcoming James Webb space telescope, the $8.8-billion successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, which is expected to launch in 2020 — hopefully, if it’s not delayed once more. Meanwhile, observations performed with the Very Large Telescope (VLT), of the European Southern Observatory (ESO), will prove valuable in establishing the masses, densities, and other physical characteristics of the three planets.
The findings appeared in the journal Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (arXiv).
How Jupiter Is Helping the Hunt for Habitable Alien Worlds
How Jupiter Is Helping the Hunt for Habitable Alien Worlds

DENVER — Jupiter itself isn't a great candidate to host life, but the gas giant is playing a significant role in the search for habitable worlds.
In a planetary-science first, astronomers used their knowledge of Jupiter's magnetic field to model what kinds of radio signals might be emitted naturally by the fields of smaller, rocky worlds.
"If we can get a handle on how to find direct radio emissions from large exoplanets, we can then eventually use these same techniques to study Earth-sized planets and determine which ones have magnetic fields," Jake Turner, a doctoral student in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Virginia, said in a statement. [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]
"These magnetized Earth-sized planets would then be possible candidates to investigate further, looking for biological signatures, such as water vapor, in a search for life," he added.
Turner is using Europe's Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) to measure radio waves produced by Jupiter, to determine how radio waves could be separated out from background noise. He presented his results Monday (June 4) here at the 232nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society.
"The goal is to determine up to what distance, and with what strength, radio emission from exoplanets can be seen using LOFAR," Turner said.

"A giant force field"
Many of the planets in our solar system have magnetic fields generated by their iron cores. Mars once hosted a planet-wide magnetic field, and its loss resulted in the disappearance of most of the Red Planet's atmosphere and all of its surface water. In contrast, Earth's magnetic field protects our world from the sun's radiation and the charged particles of the solar wind, helping to keep it habitable.
"Earth's magnetic field acts like a giant force field," Turner said during a news conference here Monday. So finding other rocky planets that have held on to their magnetic fields can help researchers find potentially habitable worlds, he added.
To better understand how well today's technology could spot magnetic fields around other planets, Turner turned to Jupiter. He scaled the emissions from Jupiter's magnetic field to mimic those of distant exoplanets.
He found that LOFAR could spot an exoplanet 65 million light-years from Earth if the exoplanet's magnetic-field brightness were a million times stronger than the peak level of Jupiter's.
To generate a signal that bright, such a planet would need to be extremely large, Turner said. However, a world that shined so brightly in radio light could possibly have Earth-size moons, each with its own protective magnetic field. This is not such a far-fetched notion; after all, Jupiter has more than 60 known moons, several of which — especially the ocean-harboring satellite Europa — may be capable of supporting life.
"This finding is consistent with theoretical models that predict such strong radio emission can exist, and can be used as a guide to search for radio emission from exoplanets," Turner said in the statement.
Many believe it was an alien satellite in deep space, but nowdays we can say that there are many UFO sightings every year, many remain a mystery forever, while many others are recognized as hoax. In this article we will talk about a bizarre case.
The story begins that an astronomer who, pointing to the deep space with his telescope has captured an incredibly bright red UFO, so immediately after posting it on the web, the clip has become viral.
According to the astronomer, his photo would be the demonstration that alien life exists and that they are monitoring the Earth from the space.
The researcher was taking pictures in his backyard with a long-exposure lens when an object crossed his field of vision. At first he thought that it was an artificial satellite like the ISS, or an airplane, but looking in detail at the object he realized that it was definitely a bizarre object of extraterrestrial origin.
He made several shots and this points out that the UFO moved at great speed since the movement between the first and second shots shows a considerable distance. The witness then sent these notable shots to MUFON one of the most important organizations on the UFOs community.
By analyzing the image we can see 3 bright objects of red color, which the central one is spherical while the lateral 2 much thinner, this is a figure that is not entirely new, we have already seen phenomena with similar shapes. Another important observation is to understand the distance of the UFO, yes, we do not know how far it is from the earth but if we check well on the right there’s a galaxy and the mysterious object turns out to be bigger.
I doubt that ufo is as big as a galaxy, so surely it was an object much much closer, without risking too many hypotheses we can say that this will remain one of the many unsolved cases in the history of extraterrestrial sightings… What do you think? Let me know below!
UNIVERSITY IMPLEMENTS COURSE ABOUT ALIENS TO PREPARE PEOPLE FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT
UNIVERSITY IMPLEMENTS COURSE ABOUT ALIENS TO PREPARE PEOPLE FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL CONTACT
With so much disclosure happening right now, it was only a matter of time before a university or college created a course to take the topic more seriously. It’s about time, and comes as no surprise given the fact that the topic is rapidly creeping its way into mainstream discussion.
Academia and extraterrestrial contact go hand in hand, and it started decades ago. For example, a declassified document from the CIA’s own electronic reading room shows that the agency actually tried to recruit renowned quantum physicist John Wheeler to look into their “flying saucer problem.” This was decades ago, and even further back, ever since President Truman went on live television and announced that the UFO problem is discussed at “every conference that they’ve had with the military,” many people have been paying attention.
Combined with all of these leaks over the years, there has no doubt been a campaign of official secrecy and ridicule,” where “many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense.” This is according to the first Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Roscoe H. Hillekoetter, speaking to the New York Times in 1960.
Today, we have physical evidence, papers published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and statements from some of the highest ranking military, political, and government personnel, with the latest examples coming from Tom Delonge, a former rock star who just brought forth recently retired Steve Justice, a director of Lockheed Skunkworks, to let the world know that these things are real. For more information on that, you can check out To The Stars Media.
“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, ETs, etc. . . . They are visiting Earth NOW; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.”
– Theodore C. Loder III, Phd, Professor Emeritus of Earth Sciences, University of New Hampshire
The course at the Turkish university will be called “Ufology & Exopolitics,” and the purpose of the class is to prepare students for the possibility of extraterrestrial contact.
A class tutor, Erhan Kolbasi, told the Dogan News Agency, “We believe representatives from the world and extraterrestrial civilizations will soon be making official contact with each other. We thinking they will be in an open and mass contact. . . . It will be the biggest change seen in the history of the world.”
The course will concentrate on the history of the UFO/extraterrestrial contact, and well as the implications of extraterrestrial contact and more. According to the Dogan, Kolbasi expects open extraterrestrial contact to happen within 15 years, and claims that extraterrestrials have been and are visiting our planet.
Again, he’s part of a long and growing list of people who seem to think so, and with all of the evidence that’s emerged over the past few years, it’s not hard to see why he feels that way.
Where is the evidence you say? Well, that depends on your definition of evidence. Many people don’t believe witness testimony to be credible, but when you have military generals, NATO generals, high ranking politicians, academics, and people who have and do hold high positions for several military contractors, like Lockheed Martin, making these statements, it should clearly be taken into consideration.
“There are objects in our atmosphere which are technically miles in advance of anything we can deploy, that we have no means of stopping them coming here … [and] that there is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations. That it behooves us, in case some of these people in the future or now should turn hostile, to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.”
–Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (source)
There are also documents that detail objects travelling at tremendous speeds performing maneuvers that no known air craft can, and you can view some examples and links within this article to learn more:
“There are unidentified flying objects. That is, there are a hard core of cases —perhaps 20 to 30 percent in different studies — for which there is no explanation. We can only imagine what purpose lies behind the activities of these quiet, harmlessly cruising objects that time and again approach the Earth. The most likely explanation, it seems to me, is that they are simply watching what we are up to.”
– Margaret Mead, “UFOs – Visitors from Outer Space?,” Redbook, vol. 143, September 1974
Below is one of many recent tweets about the exciting news in Europe.
Kolbaşi is currently the deputy chair of the Sirius UFO Space Sciences Research Center in Istanbul. This is a big step for disclosure. The implications are tremendous, and will touch all aspects of human life as we know it, from history, science, and technology to our understanding about the nature of reality and more.
Of course, there is also the problem of beliefs, and our tendency to label things as “good” or “bad,” “angels” or demons.” ET disclosure has more implications than we can possibly imagine, and perhaps this was one out of several reasons for the cover-up.
There are a lot of questions to be answered, and still many who are in their infancy regarding knowledge of what’s really been happening .
Collective Evolution has covered this topic extensively with multiple heavily soured articles. Feel free to browse through them, as all of our articles are archived. You can do this by visiting the exopolitics section of our website.
Below is a great little speech by Richard Dolan, one of the world’s leading authorities on the topic. It provides a great introduction for those who are new to the topic. His work is a great place to start.
You can check out our exclusive interview in our Explorer Lounge where Richard discusses recent UFO related happenings – including Trump’s reformation of the Space Council.

ANUNNAKI GENETICIST CREATED OUR BODIES, NOT OUR SOULS
ANUNNAKI GENETICIST CREATED OUR BODIES, NOT OUR SOULS
Approximately one half of the human beings on Earth (about 3.5 billion people) are organic portals, soulless human beings who keep real human beings in line with the status quo, on agenda with the matrix control system.
Organic portals form the backbone of the Matrix’s social control infrastructure. They are what keeps society running in a state of preoccupation with the mundane. From cradle to grave, souled humans are pressured to stay with the status quo and not ask dangerous questions.
Empty people. Puppet people. Cardboard cutouts. Drones. Organic Portals. Background characters. Why do these terms even exist?
Because out of necessity they had to be invented by those who independently noticed the same puzzling phenomenon, one for which there is no official name: some people seem to be missing something very important inside.
While they are not necessarily any less intelligent, successful, or physically healthy as anyone else, they nevertheless show no indication of having any higher components to their consciousness. Over the years some people came to this same conclusion.
They noticed that some people were strangely one dimensional and hollow inside. This observation is not hard to miss, but it is easy to rationalize away, especially with modern society being so heavily brainwashed with the politically correct but unrealistic concept that everyone is completely equal in every way, which ignores functional differences due to environmental, genetic, and most importantly, metaphysical factors.
A considerable percentage of the people we meet on the street are people who are empty inside, that is, they are actually already dead. It is fortunate for us that we do not see and do not know it. If we knew what a number of people are actually dead and what a number of these dead people govern our lives, we should go mad with horror.
These are interesting times. On one hand there are changes happening on a global scale that can’t really be ignored much longer. On the other hand the majority of the population seem to live their lives as if everything is just as it always is and always will be, locked in a tunnel vision of personal and material interest.
While souled humans have a divine spark of consciousness that gives them the ability of individual self-awareness, Organic Portals lack this divine spark and are only dimly conscious in comparison. They belong to an animal like group soul that exists, evolves, and incarnates collectively rather than individually.
While each souled human has a relatively unique energy shaped by that person’s awareness, experience, and essence, the energy that animates one Organic Portal is the same animating any other. The human species on Earth is not a family, but rather is an aggregation (heterogeneous group) of beings with many different soul origins, that is, souls that came from many different planets.
And, of course, humanity is also made up of soulless organic portals, too. The Anunnaki merely created our bodies, not our souls (for those who have one, that is). Nor did the Reptilians create our spirits, but more on all of this later.

Everything in this Virtual Reality requires a consciousness, whether a True or an artificial consciousness to drive it. This means that even a grain of sand has a consciousness. Even things much smaller than grains of sand have consciousnesses. The consciousness must maintain the illusion of motion throughout its body during its entire lifespan.
Nothing exists in the Virtual Reality unless it upholds the illusion of motion. When the illusion of motion ceases, the organism dies and the consciousness driving the body leaves it. More and more people are now beginning to believe that there is life after death. This is true only to a certain point.
One could ask, If there is life after death, is there death after life?
There are three basic categories of consciousness in the Virtual Reality:
True-Light consciousness,
False-Light consciousness and, lastly,
Artificial consciousness.
Artificial consciousnesses encompass the ones created totally evil and the ones created like robots by Darkness.
The ones created of total Darkness include the ones I have referred to as the “soulless” ones. However, these are not to be confused with the artificial ones created by the Anunnaki alien scientists.
The False-Light consciousnesses created by Darkness have a mixture of True-Light particles in the consciousnesses.
True-Light particles trapped in this category of consciousness are the hardest to rescue, as it requires a very delicate operation to separate them from the Evil embedded along side of them with as little damage to the True-Light particles as possible.
When physical life terminates, the ones of artificial consciousness cease to operate until the artificial consciousness is put into another body to drive it. An artificial consciousness is akin to a replacement engine that is put into another body.
For all intents and purposes, it is like a spare part that does nothing until it is put into another body and reactivated by putting it into motion again. It is this “sleeping” phase when they are not in motion that characterizes these consciousnesses, because they lose their awareness of being.
Thus, an artificial consciousness is like a robot that is started and stopped by Darkness. For these,there is no afterlife.
However, the “soulless ones” amongst the artificial consciousnesses that are designed to promote and maintain absolute evil are usually allowed to continue in another process, which enables them to generate and maintain evil from the various levels of the astral planes. These are not the ones put on the shelf, so to speak.
These can sometimes appear to be good guys or spiritual masters in the astral realms. They are allowed to experience a form of “artificial” after-life in the astral world which in itself is an artificial reality. Hence, it is an artificial reality within an artificial reality.
In other words, they reside in a virtual world within the virtual world of the astral reality. Most of the inhabitants of the “normal” astral world do not have free access to their planes without the permission from Darkness’ astral administrators.
When a True-Light consciousness vacates its physical body at the time of physical death, it continues its awareness because its awareness does not depend upon motion, as in the case of an artificial consciousness.
The False-Light consciousness with a mixture of True-Light particles and False-Light particles also continues its awareness after physical death.
Therefore, Darkness has to develop special activities and things for these types of consciousnesses to occupy themselves with while in transition from one body to another in order to keep the charade going.
Exposing the Reincarnation Deception: Your Soul is Enslaved
It is important for Darkness to maintain the deception of the Virtual Reality and specifically of death so that the consciousness thinks it has died and been reborn.
Such ones usually reside in the astral world of the Virtual Reality until it is time for them to re-enter new physical bodies by the process called re-incarnation.
Reincarnation is really a very evil imposition on the consciousness. It is done under the false pretence that the process of death and rebirth is in the best interests of the consciousness for its own purification and advancement.
Reincarnation causes most people to lose almost all their memories of their past lives, it actually obstructs one from advancing in knowledge and awakening to Truth.
This, again, is by design to benefit Darkness. Unbeknown to many, the Akashic records in the astral world, the records of supposedly everything that has ever happened since the beginning of the universe, have been tampered with to suit Darkness.
As already stated, artificial consciousnesses are put to rest after the death of the body they were driving, and they require motion to be activated and re-inserted into another body.
However, motion is an anomaly for a True Divine consciousness. That which is natural to an artificial consciousness is intrinsically unnatural for True Divine consciousnesses.
Hence, the state of a True-Light consciousness that is being extinguished is even more pitiful than that of an artificial consciousness that is oblivious and will not re-awaken from its state of rest until it is re-activated by Darkness.
As stated before, a living body can be occupied by a True-Light consciousness, a False-Light consciousness or an Artificial consciousness.
However, the physical bodies housing all categories of all consciousness are made up of Matter and are influenced by the programming embedded in them. Horrible destruction of True Divine beings has been going on since Darkness created this putrid Virtual Reality.
No wonder the agents of Darkness hate anyone who tries to awaken the “slaves” of Darkness by taunting, persecuting and punishing them in all sorts of ways.
These days, the agents of Darkness employ cowardly ways to attack, defame, blackmail or threaten anyone who dares try to spread Truth. It gives Darkness and Its evil agents great satisfaction each time that It extinguishes a True Divine light.
Contrary to some beliefs, Light does not need Darkness to balance Itself. Nor does Light need Darkness to co-exist.
However, Darkness does need Light to sustain It. In fact, Darkness is a parasitic and vampiric energy that sucks the “life” out of True Light beings in order to survive.
Darkness has only been able to do this by erecting an elaborate house of horrors known as the Virtual Reality. Any True Light beings who enter this house of horrors are immediately preyed upon by agents of Darkness and “assassination” attempts commence as rapidly as possible.
This is what the war between Good and Evil is all about. The Light is about to rescue Its own from the clutches of Darkness, whilst Darkness fights to hold onto every one of Its “prisoners”.
“Assassination” occurs at the moment a True Light being gives over its Will to Darkness. This can be done by trickery, deception, temptation, bribery, punishment, torture or other means. Those who give over their Will are then “fallen” beings, and, for all intents and purposes, are beings of Darkness.
It should be understood that Darkness has not the power to take any True Light being’s Will by force. The Will can only be given over to Darkness by the True Light being.
The “Light” within a True-Light being is a permanent Divine spirit. It will “shine” forever if the Will is not given over to Darkness. But, if the Will is given over, Darkness seizes the permanent “Light” and drains it of its life force.
The True-Light being is then given a temporary artificial consciousness encased in a “soul” in exchange for its True Divine spirit. Thereafter, the being only has light that is generated by “perpetual” motion.
The Divine spirit shines by itself without depending on physical motion. There is no physical motion in the True Divine Realm.
As mentioned earlier, Darkness imposed Its illusion of “no-motion” upon Its Virtual Reality. By use of this illusion, beings think that they are stationary when they are moving very rapidly.
For instance, people on the Earth think that they are standing still even though the Earth is rotating daily and revolving yearly.
When the illusion of “no-motion” is broken, the illusion of motion will be impossible to maintain and all motion will cease. When nothing “moves”, only the viable True Light consciousnesses will shine.
Everything else in the Virtual Reality, including plants, animals, humans, planets, suns, galaxies, etc., will dissipate.
In effect, this is how it is assured that all of the viable True Light will be gathered and taken Home and none of the artificial or fallen consciousnesses will be. Thus, no artificial beings will be accidentally left behind and no non-viable beings will be mistakenly admitted to the Divine Creation.
Darkness dreads Its own demise. It fears that one day It could be extinguished by Its own handiwork. So, It prolongs Its existence by extinguishing the True Light beings.
Before It dies, It cruelly desires to take as many of the True-Light beings down with It by deceiving them into relinquishing their Will to It. This assassination of True Light beings cannot be allowed to go on any longer.
Darkness has created the illusion of time and slowed things down so it appears that this Virtual Reality has been in existence for eons, but this is an illusion. In fact, the Virtual Reality has only been in existence for a very short interval.
It is transitory and temporary and will soon be dissolved into nothingness. From the perspective on Earth, the Rescue Mission appears to be like a tortoise race due to the illusion of time that makes it appear to be a long time in occurring.
Further, death has so shortened human lifetimes that it was almost an impossible task for the Christ or any Divine Messengers to bring down sufficient information and fully awaken to their roles in one lifetime.
The Rescue Mission will be completed before the Divine will allow Darkness to self-destruct and dissipate into nothingness.
It is a time to rejoice for those who have held onto their Will. The time for liberation from Darkness is drawing closer and closer. Darkness will soon be unable to reactivate Its artificial consciousnesses.
Everything that is created by Darkness will cease to exist when the illusion of motion is fractured and Darkness’ empire will be no more. Death will disappear forever when this Virtual Reality self-destructs and vanishes.
It is undeniable that everything is a slave to motion. Without motion, everything stops, including the processes known as physical life and physical death. Death is so obvious in this world that everyone has encountered it one way or another.
Many fear it, some shun it, whilst others even deny its existence, but it continues inexorably to punish and chase us all. Everyone’s life is spent on avoiding death and delaying the encounter. Those who deny that death exists are seen as abnormal or as having some form of psychological disorder that causes them to deny death.
Since ancient times, people of all cultures and religions have ardently pursued a cure for physical death in the name of physical immortality. They are driven on this quest at the deepest level of their existence because they fear death.
Ironically, the deity responsible for death is the being most fearful of death of its own demise and annihilation. The deity has embedded and programmed this fear into everything that “lives” in this world of illusions.
Many humans who have explored the fear of death have concluded that all living things have a survival instinct. What has been referred to as a survival instinct is really the programmed fear of death that infects all living things, including plants, animals and humans.
This programming is deeply embedded into every particle of Matter because every particle of Matter has a thought form from Darkness that contains Darkness’ fear of death.
Darkness is so frightened of Its own demise that even the smallest building blocks of the physical universes (Matter) are thoroughly saturated with the instinctive fear of death. The fear of death is a morbid disease. It was created by a putrid, demented Mind. It is this fear that will eventually topple the entire virtual reality.
People pursue immortality even though almost everyone knows at the deepest level that the concept is absolutely absurd. Everyone knows that physical bodies ultimately decay and die. Yet the absurd quest for immortality continues.
It continues because the deity responsible for this Virtual Reality is insanely hoping against hope to find a cure for death, not to abolish it, but to use it to benefit Itself. The deity is afraid that one day It will die.
It wants immortality. It pretends to be god but it is not eternal and It seeks eternal life. The contradiction here is that when death is conquered, the True-Light’s Rescue Mission will be completed and the malevolent deity’s entire empire will collapse.
Ironically, death is the very tool Darkness invented and imposed on everything in Its domain, the Virtual Reality, to control and enslave Its creation and all that are trapped in it.
Death, amongst other things, wipes out memories to make it almost impossible for anyone to see through the lies and illusions of this Virtual Reality through the process of reincarnation.
To understand death one needs to first understand the beginning of “life” in the Virtual Reality. In the True Divine Creation there is no motion, there is no vibration in the way we know it here, there is no physical movement as we know it here.
Darkness invented motion, that was Its first illusion. From the illusion of motion, Darkness created everything in the Virtual Reality. This includes even the illusion of no motion, the illusion of things being stationary within the illusion of motion.
Darkness used the illusion of motion to form Matter by compressing spirals of Its thought-forms, which are the foundation of all things in the Virtual Reality.
The formation of Matter is the beginning of all life and death in the Virtual Reality. Everything created from Matter has a beginning and an end, a birth and death. This is by design of Darkness.
When all the illusions fall, Darkness will be fully exposed and those particles that comprise Darkness that have remained true to the Light and held onto the Will will shine.
All the others will dissipate into nothingness as Darkness fractures. So, even the prison known as the Evil Mind will shatter, and any particles within It that still hold onto the Divine Will will be released, freed from the self-imposed prison of Darkness.
The contradiction of Darkness is that it requires True-Light particles to exist, yet it also must assassinate True-Light particles to drive Its putrid Virtual Reality. Were Darkness to assassinate all the True-Light particles, It would self-destruct into nothingness.
The Rescue Mission was launched to free the imprisoned True-Light particles and halt the insane, self-destructive activity of Darkness founded upon death. Strictly speaking, in the end, even Darkness is being liberated from Itself and Its twisted creation based upon senseless wastage, suffering and death.
Soon, all the viable True-Light beings will be in their True Divine Home, where there are no sour notes and nothing can play out of key.
Everything in the True Home is in True Harmony, True Balance, Unconditional Love, Beauty, Power and True Light.
China's relentless cyber espionage campaign against the Pentagon has been one of the central reasons why that country's technological warfighting capabilities have aggressively matured over a relatively short period of time. In fact, we now see the fruits of their hacking operations on a daily basis via advanced 'indigenous' weapon systems, some which are nowentering into operational service. But a previously unreported intrusion into a Navy contractor's computer network has provided the Chinese military with information on the service's electronic warfare and threat library, cryptographic radio systems used on submarines, specific sensor data, and detailed information on a previously undisclosed and fast-paced initiative to field a supersonic anti-ship missile onto American nuclear submarines dubbed Sea Dragon.
Over half a terabyte of information was stolen electronically from the contractor's computer systems at Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Rhode Island. The installation is a focal point for development and testing of new systems related to sub-surface combat. The contractor's network was not deemed classified but the information on it in its totality was of a highly classified nature according to the Washington Post, which broke the story.
NAVSEA
NUWC in Newport Rhode Island.
The loss of the Navy's current electronic warfare library is especially troubling as that type of information is considered among the most sensitive data the Pentagon gathers and is critical to countering enemy defensive networks and allowing U.S. assets to survive in contested territory. This theft paired with information on sensor data that potentially collects that information is especially damning as the enemy can figure out not just what the Navy knows, but exactly how they have come to know it.
Yet the news that the Navy is rapidly looking to field a submarine-launched anti-ship missile capable of supersonic speeds is the biggest revelation from this report. Not only that but it is supposedly a weapon already in existence that is being adapted for submarine use. Quite honestly, in a vacuum, it's good news that the Navy is working on such a capability. Giving U.S. nuclear submarines long-range anti-ship capabilities that they can use while operating where no ship can is a critical ability that should be obtained, but what weapon could this be?
A shadowy cutting-edge weapons program
Little is known about the Sea Dragon program, as the Washington Post points out:
"The Sea Dragon project is an initiative of a special Pentagon office stood up in 2012 to adapt existing U.S. military technologies to new applications. The Defense Department, citing classification levels, has released little information about Sea Dragon other than to say that it will introduce a “disruptive offensive capability” by “integrating an existing weapon system with an existing Navy platform.” The Pentagon has requested or used more than $300 million for the project since late 2015 and has said it plans to start underwater testing by September.
...
The introduction of a supersonic anti-ship missile on U.S. Navy submarines would make it more difficult for Chinese warships to maneuver. It would also augment a suite of other anti-ship weapons that the U.S. military has been developing in recent years."
Pentagon budget documents show that Sea Dragon, which began in the 2015 fiscal year, was one of many programs that the secretive Strategic Capabilities Office has managed and is listed in a specific line item covering "Advanced Innovative Technologies." By the following fiscal cycle, this same set of funding also paid for work on land-based railguns, advanced conventional guns and ammo, advanced navigation systems, unspecified enhanced munitions and unmanned aerial vehicle payloads, and a naval drone swarm project called Sea Mob.
In the 2016 fiscal year, the Sea Dragon program completed designs for an in-water test apparatus and the ejection body and its associated hardware, as well as successfully completed a test of the weapon system on land. Unfortunately, subsequent budget requests do not list further accomplishments for the program.
We do know that the Pentagon expected to start underwater static testing of some portion of the system, as well as begin planning for a "sea-based tactical demonstration," by the end of the 2018 fiscal year, which runs through Sept. 30, but its latest budget request for the 2019 fiscal year said that the new funds would go to continued planning for that live-fire test.
The Pentagon asked for nearly $150 million in total to support that work, as well finishing underwater static testing, building a sea-based launch support test site, and continued analysis of the conceptual kill chain associated with the weapon system. This is less than half of the money the U.S. military requested for Sea Dragon for the 2018 fiscal year, but the budget documents note that this was a product of cost savings they had achieved by buying extra long-lead time components in advance.
Russia, on the other hand, has focused for decades on developing supersonicand now even hypersonic anti-ship cruise missiles, which are seen as a major threat to American warships. China has also worked hard to independently perfect the anti-ship ballistic missile, with the medium-range DF-21D and a version of the intermediate-range DF-26 becoming one of some of the most potent anti-access threats to American Carrier Strike Groups operating in the Indo-Pacific Theater.
So if no supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles exist in the Pentagon's inventory, or are even deep in development, what is this 'existing' weapon?
Identifying the mystery weapon
This weapon could be one of a number of concepts we identify below. But to start, a submarine-launched version of the SM-6 multi-role missile seems like the most conventional possibility. This is not a cruise missile, but the designation stated in the Washington Post's article could be just a due to the writer's lack of knowledge of existing weapon systems and their capabilities or just a misinterpretation of what is clearly a fairly opaque program.
RAYTHEON
SM-6 test launch.
The SM-6, which you can read all about in this recent profile we published on it, can be launched from the Mark 41 Vertical Launch Systems found on American destroyers and cruisers. In its latest form, it is fully networked, allowing it to receive targeting data from a variety of platforms, including airborne, ground-based, or surface-based sensor nodes. This concept is called Cooperative Engagement Capability/Naval Integrated Fire Control CEC/NIFC and it is one of the most important concepts the sea-going force is trying to implement at this time.
Although it was designed primarily as a surface-to-air weapon to be used against air-breathing threats and ballistic missiles during their terminal stage of flight, the SM-6 has an increasingly potent long-range anti-ship and a land-attack capability able to promptly strike targets over long distances. The fact that it flies at very high speeds on a ballistic-like track instead of a flat cruise missile like flight profile makes it especially hard for enemies to defend against.
Most of America's nuclear fast attack submarines and all its guided missilesubmarines have 'strike length' vertical launch cells similar to the Mark 41 VLS, that are used to house BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles.
USN
Los Angles class USS Santa Fe (SSN-763) with her VLS doors open.
A new arrangement, with two large hatches that cover a number of launch tubes and can be more easily adapted to different weaponry, is now being fielded on latest Virginia class submarines. Soon boats equipped with the Virginia Payload Module, which carries four of these large modular missile bays, will be under construction.
These same cells currently used for Tomahawk cruise missiles could be configured to house an altered SM-6-booster combination capable of launching the missile submerged without destroying the launch cell. If such an arrangement were developed and implemented, the variety and flexibility of firepower that America's submarine force would possess would greatly increase.
USN
USS John Warner (SSN-785) shows off her modular launch tubes, she was the first of her kind to receive the new setup.
Because the SM-6 is networked and doesn't rely on organic sensors installed on its firing platform for targeting, submarines could even act as clandestine launch platforms for anti-aircraft attacks. This would allow for more vulnerable assets, like E-2D Hawkeyes, MQ-4C Tritons, P-8 Poseidons, and powerful radar-packing surface combatants to stand off at long ranges, using their sensor's great reach—outside the range of their own or nearby weapons—to their advantage and remotely ordering up attacks on enemy ships and aircraft by surprise.
The unique list of information Chinese hackers stole from the Navy contractor also points to such a system, which would rely on electromagnetic threat libraries, crypto-communications, and a wide variety of sensors for detecting and engaging threats.
Raytheon, the company who makes the SM-6, has a long history of providing tailored weapons for American submarines, and some non-traditional programs have recently seemed to disappear into the realm of deep classification. For instance, the initiative to arm Navy subs with AIM-9X air-to-air missiles as a short-range last-line of defense against prowling anti-submarine warfare aircraft. That program went as far as being successfully tested before going dark, which you can read all about it in this past feature of ours.
It is also possible that the Washington Post article's author was wrong about the missile's supersonic capability, which would point to fielding an advanced anti-ship cruise missile like Lockheed's very stealthy and smart Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) aboard submarines. Yet this would probably be a less covert affair developmentally speaking. But such a weapon would be especially useful when combined with the SM-6—or another high-speed anti-ship weapon—allowing for long-range, multi-layer attacks on enemy flotillas. Also, the Navy, and its submarines will be getting a long-range, subsonic, anti-ship capability via the Block IV Tactical Tomahawk.
It's more likely that his weapon could actually be LRASM-B, or at least an evolutionary relative of it. LRASM-B was being developed alongside the subsonic LRASM-A around the turn of the decade and would have performance nearing Mach 3, operating in a similar fashion as theRussian-Indian developed BrahMosanti-ship missile.
AMERICANMILITARYFORUM.COM
A model of Lockheed's supersonic LRASM-B concept.
Development work continued on LRASM-B until around 2013 when it was officially passed over. It is very possible that this design was brought back to life under the shadowy Sea Dragon program, with a focus on submarines as a launch platform, not ships. The budgetary dates and what was mentioned in the Washington Post article would certainly support this possibility as well.
Maybe even more promising is the possibility that this is actually the product of a supposedly defunct 2000s initiative to create a high-speed cruise missile dubbed Revolutionary Approach To Time-critical Long Range Strike, or RATTLRS for short. This weapon was all about hitting time-sensitive targets very quickly with little preparation, being able to fly at high altitudes and at speeds approaching Mach 4, obliterating its target with submunitions, a high-explosive warhead, or a penetrating warhead within about 30 minutes time at its maximum range.
ONR VIA F-16.NET
Elaborate mockups of the missile were being shown off by the mid-2000s.
This Lockheed-led initiative built on the Skunk Works' experience with the D-21 drone and was supported by the Office of Naval Research and NASA. It was funded throughout the 2000s, had successful payload delivery tests on the jet sled, its engine was built by Rolls Royce, and was approaching a complex flight demonstration phase when it disappeared. This could have been due to budget cuts that happened around the turn of the decade, but maybe it was revived in 2013, adapted for the anti-ship mission, and deep in development in updated form by 2015. It's also worth noting that a submarine-launched capability was part of the program's initial vision.
LOCKHEED VIA DEAGEL.COM
A RATTLRS cruise-missile inlet undergoes testing at the High Speed Wind Tunnel at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control in Grand Prairie.
Adding to the case that RATTLRS may have been reborn in secret is this tidbit of information brought to us by our good friend Stephen Trimble's twitter feed. Apparently, the Navy has been showing off a model of this exact concept just months ago without any real explanation as to why:
Stephen Trimble@FG_STrim
Lockheed hypersonic missile display at the Air Warfare Symposium a week ago and the Lockheed D-21 on display outside the Skunk Works.
Finally, the mystery missile could be a hypersonic missile, not a supersonic missile, for the Ohio class submarine, which the Navy is quietly developing and has test flown fairly recently. Still, the Pentagon has openly discussed these and other hypersonic tests recently, so it's not exactly top secret. Also, this wouldn't be a variation of an existing system as described in the Washington Post article. Fielding such a system operational by 2020 also seems remarkably ambitious, but it may be possible and certainly, China has an extreme interest in hypersonic technologies.
These are just the clearest possibilities for what this weapon could be. It's also possible that it is another weapon system clandestinely developed to a certain degree in the past, and brought back into development due to the changing nature of the world by the middle of this decade. During the mid-2000s, time-sensitive strike was such a big deal due to the Global War on Terror that numerous programs existed that never seemed to go anywhere—at least publically.
Loose bits sink ships
Regardless of the exact identity of this weapon system, the idea that the Navy—or at least one of its contractors—lost so much detailed information on what could be one of its most promising and critical weapon systems, as well as the infrastructure that supports it, couldn't have come at a worse time. China is pumping huge sums of money into its maritime warfare programs and fortifying its "fortress" like anti-access/area-denial strategy that will make it harder and harder for America's surface fleet to operate anywhere near striking distance of the Chinese mainland. With this in mind, submarines remain among the most important tools for breaking down this anti-access bubble so that more vulnerable assets can move closer to potential targets and strategic areas. What's worse is that with detailed info in hand, China is likely going to work hard to replicate this capability, not devise a defense against it.
Above all else, this is another terrible reminder about how the Defense Department and the industrial complex that feeds it remains its own worst enemy when it comes to securing highly detailed information about its most critical and costly weapon systems. At some point, the decision has to be made that networks that are not air-gapped and are connected to the outside world in some fashion are not secure enough to gamble such sensitive information on. Physical espionage is a big enough threat to deal with as it is, and the U.S. has failed miserably at defending against electronic espionage using convenient network architecture.
GENERAL DYNAMICS ELECTRIC BOAT

Coming to terms with this reality will mean it will become more time consuming, expensive, and tougher overall to develop new weapon systems. Distributing programs to sites located across the U.S. will instantly become a major issue. But what's the point in the U.S. developing any of these systems if in the end it is just developing them for its number one technological competitor as well?
And the fact that China doesn't have to pay billions upon billions of dollars for this intellectual property—they can steal for virtually nothing—isn't only a loss to American national security, but it actually provides the enemy with a major fiscal edge. And that edge is already being exploited in front of our very eyes on an increasingly unprecedented scale.
Incredible NASA Video Crams 20 Years of Earth's Weather Into 2 Minutes
Incredible NASA Video Crams 20 Years of Earth's Weather Into 2 Minutes
ByChelsea Gohd, Space.com Staff Writer
You can now watch almost two decades of weather patterns on Earth thanks to an incredible video from NASA.
The 2-minute, 17-second video, based on data from NASA's Worldview tool, shows how weather on Earth has changed between 2000 and 2018, highlighting some of the planet's most dramatic weather moments.
The imagery comes from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, which launched in 1999 and 2002, respectively, observing weather patterns on Earth for almost 20 years. MODIS became operational in 2000, and ever since, the instrument has provided imagery through NASA's Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS), which can be viewed in NASA's Worldview tool.
Using the Worldview interactive interface, you can explore satellite imagery easily in your web browser. You can even specify within Worldview to see everything from fires to dust storms. Imagery from MODIS is now available in Worldview, which debuted in 2012 and has dramatically increased access to imagery data, NASA officials said in a statement.

Satellite images of weather patterns are helpful for a number of reasons, and in 2016 and 2017, they allowed researchers to observe the California wildfires, as you can see in the video above. Also seen in the video is how this technology allows us to observe air quality and dangerous levels of smoke and haze.
"In the '80s and '90s, if you wanted to look at, say, clouds off the coast of California, you had to figure out the time of year when it was best to look at these clouds, then place a data request for a specific window of days when you thought the satellite overflew the area," Santiago Gassó, an associate research scientist with NASA's Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research program at Morgan State University in Baltimore, said in the statement.
"You would get a physical tape with these images and have to put this into the processing system," he added. "Only then would you know if the image was usable. This process used to take from days to weeks."
The new imagery helps to overcome that challenge.
"Now, you can look at images for days, weeks and even years in a matter of minutes in Worldview, immediately find the images you need and download them for use," Gassó said. "It's fantastic!"
Love astronomy, but don’t like to stay up late? Here are 10 space objects you can see – under the right conditions – during the day.

If you think that daytime sky nature-watching is limited to clouds and birds, you might be missing out. Observing space objects in the daytime has its limitations and difficulties, but, as with all skywatching, it also has its rewards. So here is a list of 10 surprising space objects to see in the daytime sky. Aside from the first three listed below, each of these daylight observations is relatively difficult, but straightforward if you’re prepared. On the other hand, the observations toward the bottom of the list aren’t possible to predict.
That said, here they are, in increasing order of difficulty: your top 10 space objects to see in daylight.
In addition to the 10 items listed here, there are atmospheric phenomena such as this beautiful solar halo and sun dogs. While not quite space related, they are sky related and well worth coming to know. Image via Rima Biswas in Baltimore, Maryland, December 2016.
1. The sun.
Obviously, you can see the sun during the day, but paradoxically, we’re told not to look, for fear of harming our eyes. And that is quite right. Gazing at the sun directly can damage your eyes.
If you do take precautions – and rig up a simple indirect viewing method for sun-watching, like the one shown here – what would you be looking for? Most people look for sunspots, which are sometimes quite large. It’s easy and fun to count the number of sunspots you see from day to day. That doesn’t take long, and, if you keep a record of what you see, you can notice profound changes over time. That’s because there’s an 11-year sunspot cycle, during which the dark spots on the sun’s surface wax and wane. We’re in an ebbing phase of the cycle now, but we still sometimes receive photos from people of sunspots, captured through telescopes with safe solar filters. And, in the coming years, the number of spots you see on the sun will gradually increase until the cycles peak.
If you’re interested in sunspots, we recommend following the website Spaceweather.com, which tracks them and offers mobile phone alerts.
And of course, the sun is the source of a whole range of atmospheric effects, which are beyond the scope of this post. Try searching here at EarthSky for words like “halo around the sun,” “rainbows,” “iridescent clouds,” “the glory.” Or browse Les Cowley’s great website Atmospheric Optics.
You can often see the moon during the day. Here’s an almost full moon, ascending in the east in evening twilight. Beautiful! Photo by Jenney Disimon in Sabah, North Borneo.
2. The moon.
I don’t have any survey statistics, but I’d be willing to bet that at least 75% of the public is unaware that the moon can be seen in the daytime sky. That’s not too hard to understand, since so many people nowadays spend so much time indoors and are unaware of the sky at all.
In addition, the moon is not in the daytime sky every day. Like the sun, it is below the horizon half the time. Add that to the fact that much of the time the moon is up during the day, it’s a thin crescent too close to the sun to be seen easily.
It’s easy to see why some people are surprised to discover the moon in the daytime sky. But voila. If you look up frequently, you’ll notice it often.
Daylight occultation of Venus by the moon, via John Ashley. He said it’s “… a composite of 6 photos taken at 1-minute intervals, photographed in August 2000 from Glacier National Park, Montana. It’s one of 100+ photos from my book, Glacier National Park After Dark.“
3. The planet Venus.
Anyone who is surprised that the moon can be seen in the daytime will be amazed that, under the right conditions, you can see the planet Venus with the sun also in the sky.
The image above shows Venus as a crescent, like a tiny crescent moon, but Venus appears as a crescent only at certain times in its orbit, and some optical aid is needed (in this case, a telephoto lens) to see it. More about that below. To the eye alone, though, Venus appears as the brightest planet, a tiny white dot that often seems to “pop” out at you in a daylight sky, once you find it.
Anyone who has seen Venus in a reasonably dark sky knows that it is usually truly brilliant. Observations in the daytime sky are more difficult simply because the surrounding sky is so bright during the day. The contrast between planet and sky is much lower during the day, making the planet harder to see. Imagine how easy it is to see a bright light at the top of a tower at night versus daytime. That’s similar to seeing Venus at night versus day.
In June, 2018, as seen from around the globe, Venus can be found easily in the west after sunset. It’s exceedingly bright, but not as bright as it will be later this year. What’s happening is that Venus is catching up to Earth in the race of the planets around the sun. It will pass between us and the sun on October 26, 2018. In the weeks before and after that event (which is called an inferior conjunction of Venus), the planet will be visible as a crescent in a telescope, much as you see in the photo by John Ashley above.
What, no telescope? Never fear. There’s another event that takes place in the weeks before and after Venus’ inferior conjunction. That is Venus’ greatest illuminated extent – when it appears brightest in the sky as seen from Earth. At such times, people frequently mistake Venus for a UFO! It is low in the sky, very bright and quite eerie-looking. Greatest illuminated extent for Venus will come on September 21 in the evening sky, then again on December 2 in the morning sky. Don’t miss it! The morning event, especially, is always a great time to see Venus in the daytime because you can just see it before sunup, and keep watching …
ISS is sometimes (and sometimes not) brighter than Venus. Here it is in a daytime sky. Image via Spaceweather.com/UniverseToday.com.
4. Earth-orbiting satellites.
Many folks are very surprised that satellites can be seen at all, but these days they are quite common in dark, nighttime skies. Seasoned observers are more surprised when an hour of nighttime observing goes by without seeing at least one! They look like steadily moving “stars” – silent – and very high up. So, at night, it’s very easy to see satellites. But how about during the day?
There are two sorts of satellites you’re most likely to see in daylight. One is the International Space Station (ISS), which is sometimes (but not always) the third-brightest object visible in our sky, after the sun and moon. Why only sometimes? The position and thus brightness of ISS in your sky is variable, depending, for example, on where the space station is with respect to you (i.e., passing overhead versus passing farther away, and nearer your horizon). Also, the brightness of Venus – which we also often describe as the sky’s third-brighest object – varies. Sometimes ISS is brighter than Venus, and sometimes Venus is brighter than ISS.
Still, ISS is a very bright satellite. If conditions are optimum, you might see it in daylight. Spotting ISS when it’s visible in your sky is a fun pastime. Eventually, you can get so experienced with these sightings that you’ll recognize when one will occur in daytime, over your location. Here’s an article that’ll help you get started.
But we said there were two sorts of satellites you might see in daylight. The second is an Iridium communications satellite, which also have very reflective surfaces. Under the right conditions, they can reflect enough sunlight to appear as bright dots moving across the sky for a few seconds. These flashes are known as Iridium flares.
Even some seasoned astronomers are surprised to learn that mighty Jupiter can be glimpsed with the unaided eye in a sunlit sky. I don’t want to mislead you, as this isn’t an easy observation. Jupiter is significantly dimmer than Venus, and finding it takes a good bit more effort (not to mention exceptionally good eyesight and excellent atmospheric conditions).
The best time to see Jupiter in daylight is when it’s near a “quadrature” when Jupiter is about 90 degrees away from the sun in the sky. This is similar to the arrangement of first quarter and last quarter moon. In fact, it is also very helpful to have a quarter moon nearby as a kind of sky landmark to guide you to Jupiter. Notice the quarter moon in the image above, for example.
And, by the way, the reason you want the planet at quadrature – about 90 degrees from the sun – is that the sky is slightly darker there, due to a phenomenon known as polarization.
When will Jupiter be at quadrature next? Pretty soon, as it happens, in early August, 2018.
Okay, it’s not quite daylight in this image, but close. See the bright triangle? Brightest is Venus. Mars just below it. Jupiter – second-brightest – above Venus. Bryan Goff took this photo on October 30, 2015 from the USCGC Stratton, deployed in the Pacific Ocean.
6. The planet Mars.
Only a relative few observers have caught Jupiter with the unaided eye the daytime, and even fewer have seen Mars. However, it is possible. And indeed 2018 is the year to attempt this observation because Mars will be briefly and very slightly brighter than Jupiter, for a few weeks around July 27, 2018.
Although I personally have not seen Mars in the daytime sky (I’ve seen Jupiter twice), a correspondent in the Middle East has reported to me an apparently genuine observation, and I have no doubt that it can be done.
Stars can be seen in the daytime sky, but this is a bit of a cheat. Stars, along with the brighter planets already mentioned, can be seen with the unaided human eye in a daytime sky (that is, when the sun is above the horizon) normally only during a total solar eclipse. Such observations are of historical significance, and in fact played a crucial role in one of the first confirmations of Einstein’s theories of relativity.
A few observers report that they have seen some bright stars, such as Sirius, with the unaided eye in the daytime sky. If indeed this is possible, it would require exceptional eyesight and exceptional sky conditions.
On the other hand, observers with telescopes can see certain bright stars (not to mention the bright planets) on any clear day, although the scientific reasons for doing so are few and far between.
Stefan Seip, in Stuttgart, Germany, captured Comet McNaught in broad daylight, with a blue sky and white puffy clouds on January 13, 2007, one day after the comet’s closest point to the sun (perihelion). He used an Astro-Physics 155mm aperture f/7 refractor working at f/14 with a 2x barlow lens and a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II DSLR and 1/500th of a second exposure (!) at ISO 100. 24 frames were stacked for the final image.

8. Daytime comets.
Like the meteors with which they are sometimes confused, bright comets have been documented in the daytime sky. In fact, although not necessarily easy to observe, they are not all that rare. Comet McNaught became visible in daylight skies in 2007, and a bright daytime comet preceded Halley’s Comet in 1910.
Daytime comets are perhaps easier than daytime meteors because they sometimes can be predicted a short time ahead.

9. Daytime meteors.
Rare and unpredictable, very bright meteors – or bits of space debris vaporizing as they encounter Earth’s atmosphere – are sometimes seen in the daylight sky. Although they occur in the high atmosphere, they are included in this list because they are caused by small space objects, many which are known to be parts of comets or from the asteroid belt. One of the most famous incidents occurred over the western part of North America in 1972. It was seen and even filmed by observers from Utah to Alberta. Another recent daylight meteor was reported over California and Nevada on April 22, 2012. This meteor streaked across the daylight sky, creating a sonic boom that rattled windows. It was seen by thousands. Later, astronomers said the meteor began as a mini-van-sized asteroid, and they located a debris field containing fragments of the meteorite, which is now known as the Sutter’s Mill meteorite.
By the way, the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor also would surely have been seen in daytime, if the sun had been up over Russia when it penetrated the atmosphere, causing an exceedingly bright flash and powerful shock wave, and breaking windows in six Russian cities. Needless to say, the meteor caused a panic, and with good reason. It caused some 1,500 people to seek medical treatment, mostly from flying glass.
10. Daytime supernovae.
Last on our list of space objects (sometimes) visible in the daytime sky are supernovae, or exploding stars. Estimates vary as to the expected frequency of supernova explosions in our Milky Way galaxy from as many as once every 20 years to once every 300 years. We don’t have enough records of these infrequent phenomena to give much of an average. Many of these would not even be visible from Earth due to intervening gas and dust. In any event, the last supernova bright enough to be seen in the daytime sky was in 1572, and then only barely. The most likely candidate for a supernova explosion visible during daytime is the star Betelgeuse. Unquestionably it will be visible in the day sky when it explodes, but when that will be is still unknown. It could be tonight, but more likely in a few thousand, or tens of thousands, or maybe even a million years from now.
The supernova of 1006 was likely the brightest observed stellar event in recorded history, reaching an estimated -7.5 magnitude, and exceeding the brightness of Venus by roughly 16 times. Observers across China, Japan, Iraq, Egypt and Europe saw and described it. Astronomer Tunç Tezel offers this suggestion of how it might have looked (at night), based on a photograph he took in 1998 from a site overlooking the Mediterranean south of Antalya, Turkey. The image is described further in the Astronomy Picture of the Day for March 28, 2003.
Bottom line:A rundown of the top 10 space objects you can see – under the right conditions – with the unaided human eye during the day.
In the first wing of the Egyptian Museum of the Cairo between two rooms close to the Momias Room, one cannot help but be surprised to see in a small display cabinet, although not without some difficulty caused by the reflections of the light on the crystal that covers it, a solitary object similar to a wheel or stone disc.
This strange object has disturbed and continues disturbing all the Egyptologists that have had occasion to study it at great length. The first of them was its discoverer, Brian Walter Emery, one of the most important Egyptologists of 20th Century and the author of a classic volume on Egyptology, Archaic Egypt, that continues to be, after many years, an important bibliographical reference for the study and an understanding of the origins of the Old Egyptian Civilization.
Making excavations in 1936, in the archaeological zone of Sakkara, he discovered the Tomb of Prince Sabu. He was the son of Adjuib Pharaoh, governor of the I Dynasty (3,000 B.C.).
Between utensils of funeral objects that were extracted, Emery’s attention was powerfully drawn by an object that he initially defined in his report on the Great Tombs of the I Dynasty as: “… a container in the form of schist bowl…”.
Years later, in his previously mentioned work, Archaic Egypt, he commented on the object with a word that perfectly summarizes the reality of the situation and the discomfort the object causes; “cachibache” (a small hole that threatens to become a much larger hole)”…
A satisfactory explanation has not yet been obtained on the peculiar design of this object…”.
This object is approximately 61 centimeters in diameter, and 10.6 centimeters in height in the center. It is made of schist, a very fragile and delicate rock, which requires very laborious carving.
Its form resembles that of a plate or a concave steering wheel of a car, with a series of three cuts or curved “shovels” that resemble the helix of a boat, and in the center, an orifice with a rim that acts as the outside receiver of some axis of a wheel or some other unknown mechanism, arranged to turn.
As it is well known by all, the official position maintained by Egyptology with respect to the appearance and use of the wheel on the part of the Egyptians, is very clear and leaves no room for doubt. The introduction of the wheel in Egypt they assure us, coincided with the invasion of the Hicsos at the end of the Medium Empire, in 1640 B.C.,
They used it, on among other things, their military chariots.
The question then is inevitable: if it is not a wheel, what is the strange object that appeared in the Tomb of Prince Sabu, 1,400 years before the invasion of the Hicsos?
In spite of the complexity of this problem, the subject has become even more serious as a result of the technical studies that a variety of investigators have made, impelled by the surprising and strange design of this device.
As well, the Egyptologist Cyril Aldred reached the conclusion that, independently of what the object was used for or what it represented, its design was without a doubt, a copy of a previous, much older metallic object.
In fact, this schist wheel appeared in Tomb of Prince Sabu, along with other strange copper objects, practically the only metal that the Egyptians then knew.
The doubt that has been plaguing us is wondering how the ancient Egyptians could design so delicate and complex a structural object more than 5,000 years ago.
A structure that in the case of the three strange cuts or curved shovels, induces one to think almost immediately about the use of this object in an average liquid.
This detail, next to the excellent orifice in the central part, makes us also suspect that this object is only a small part of a more complex mechanism, and that it was saved thanks to a stone reproduction for some unknown reason, made by an artist, with unknown tools.
But…, what mechanisms existed 5,000 years ago in the Valley of the Nile?
According to the typical and expected view of the archaeologists and pro-government Egyptologists, this object is no more than a tray or the pedestal of some candelabrum, with a design a product of blind chance”.
Although by chance, this peculiar object closely mirrors the design of one of the pieces that Lockheed developed to be fitted hermetically within a full case of lubricant.
Be that as it may, this object found in a tomb of Sakkara with an age at a minimum of 5,000 years, continues to constitute one of the most perplexing Egyptian and ancient mysteries.. Translated from the Italian by s8int.com, Ciao! Source: EgiptoOculto
One of the most unusual pieces is a strange circular object, fashioned in schist and with a central hub which gives it the appearance of having been designed to fit onto a pole.
Bearing in mind that it is of pre-dynastic date, circa 3000 BC, it represents supreme ability in working hard stone, the “lobes” looking as though they had been bent over. Indeed, it is possible that it is a copy of an original copper artifact.
One theorist who has attempted to explain its function is William Kay, an English engineer. He has suggested that it was actually a ritualistic tri-flamed oil lamp.
A wick system comprising six bundles of rushes, bound together, were held in place by the lobes and thus kept immersed in the oil. If the ends of the four bundles were separated sufficiently, then twelve separate flames may have resulted instead of three.
The numbers 3 and 12 are recognised as having symbolic significance for the ancient Egyptians. Bill Kay’s concept seems entirely reasonable, especially in the light of a pole-supported oil lamp from Deir el Medina, also exhibited in the Cairo Museum.

Comment le rêve peut tourner au cauchemar !
Comment le rêve peut tourner au cauchemar ! Oui, c’est évidemment possible. C’est vrai, au départ, cela ressemble à un rêve et la prouesse technologique est impressionnante.
Et c’est sans doute la réalisation d’un rêve également pour la chercheuse ukrainienne Nataliya Kosmyna qui a mis au point un casque à électroencéphalogramme connecté en Bluetooth à un ordinateur. Prouesse de l’appareil doté d’un algorithme de sa conception : pouvoir commander un drone par la pensée !
Oui, là vous ne rêvez pas, et cela peut se concevoir pour n’importe quel objet connecté. C’est l’activité électrique du cerveau, imaginant une action, qui traduit cette action et la fait réaliser à l’appareil. Ce n’est plus de la science-fiction et nos chers Jedi peuvent aller se rhabiller.
Aucun doute sur l’utilité de ce système pour des personnes malades ou handicapées qui pourraient tirer un bénéfice énorme de cette avancée technologique. Mais il y a un mais… évidemment. Notre chercheuse de 27 ans, dont le papa est neurologue, est titulaire d’un doctorat en Intelligence Artificielle (oui, oui, je vous le dis) et a fondé sa start-up évidemment (Braini).
Mais voilà, Nataliya a des rêves et ceux-là, j’avoue qu’ils tiennent en effet plus du cauchemar qu’autre chose. La jeunette a déclaré sans sourciller « d’ici quinze à trente ans, nous aurons tous des implants dans le cerveau ». Ben voyons…
Elle ne s’arrête pas en si bon chemin puisque son idée est effectivement celle du contrôle par la pensée. De là à parler du contrôle de la pensée, il n’y a qu’un pas que je ne franchirai pas mais qui doit vous interpeller.
Et notre Nataliya d’annoncer : « Ce sera très facile à installer, grâce à une opération bénigne, un peu comme on se fait percer les oreilles. Il sera possible de piloter sa voiture par la pensée, de dicter des sms rien qu’en les imaginant, de surfer sur Internet sans toucher sa souris. »
La première chose à retenir c’est que si cela est sans doute un gros progrès pour des personnes malades ou handicapées, c’est de se demander à quoi cela peut-il servir pour les autres ?
Pas à grand-chose c’est certain (si ce n’est pour épater tous les geeks de votre entourage) mais cet implant peut aussi traduire vos pensées qui peuvent être collectées par un ordinateur… C’est sûr, vu comme cela, c’est beaucoup moins marrant…
Il n’est pas trop tard… Mais presque !

A gigantic geode full of huge crystals has been discovered in an old silver mine in Spain. It occupies a space of 10.7 m³ (8 m long by 1.8 m wide by a 1.7 m average high) and is located at a depth of 50 m in the Pilar de Jaravía lead mine, in the Sierra del Aguilón
Geologist Javier Garcia-Guinea announced the discovery of this 26ft crystal geode in an old silver mine in Spain. The geologists think the geode was formed about six million years ago when the Mediterranean Sea evaporated. "The crystals are absolutely transparent and perfect".
Nikolas Tesla is said to have caused an artificial earthquake once in New York. What's the point of this story?
Wikipedia:
Tesla's electro-mechanical oscillator is a steam-powered electric generator patented by Nikola Tesla in 1893. Later in life, Tesla claimed one version of the oscillator caused an earthquake in New York City in 1898, gaining it the popular culture title "Tesla's earthquake machine".
According to the magazine "Space And Time", artificial earthquakes were also used as a weapon, even during various wars, which were localized but caused severe destruction there (these earthquakes were not the consequences of an explosion, but lasted a few minutes). Is there any evidence of this?
On a few occasions while I’ve recently been promoting my new book, The Black Diary, I’ve been asked how far back the Black-Eyed Children phenomenon dates. Well, that’s a very difficult question to answer with any degree of accuracy. We know for sure that it was in the latter part of the 1990s that the controversy began to take off, chiefly with the story of a Texas journalist named Brian Bethel. But, definitively pinpointing the issue to one specific year, or decade, is not something we’re able to do right now. So far, the earliest case I personally have on record dates back to the early 1920s. And, given that the case is almost a century old, it’s no surprise that it’s not firsthand – which, admittedly, doesn’t amount to an ideal situation.
The story was given to me by the great-granddaughter of the witness. I will call the witness “Jane.” Her experience is an interesting one, as it demonstrates that the BEC phenomenon is not the relatively new one that most people assume it to be. Jane, unfortunately, is no longer with us: she died in 1992 at the age of eighty-seven. Jane’s great-granddaughter contacted me in 2016 to share the details of the encounter – which all of the family had heard of, and which was kind of like the definitive skeleton in the closet: everyone knew of it, but no-one really wanted to talk about it. At least, that is, until Jane’s great-granddaughter related the facts to me.
At the time of her encounter, Jane was just eighteen years old. This would have put her encounter in 1923 – which is astonishing, given that the BEC phenomenon is assumed to be one of fairly modern times. Jane and her family were living in a small town in Eastern Louisiana. Times were hard and the family of seven struggled to make ends meet. If that were not enough, it was in January 1923 that Jane had her first encounter with what can only be described as one of the Black-Eyed Children.
It was in the early hours of one particular morning that Jane awoke – unable to move and unable to speak – as a young boy, dressed in black, stretched out his hand and pointed at her. Instantly, she began to feel ill and lacking in energy – her inability to scream made things worse still. Then, suddenly, it was all over: the sleep-paralysis was gone. And so was the boy in black. Jane, practically hysterical, woke her parents and told them of what had happened. The most terrifying part of the encounter? The boy’s black eyes.
For the next three nights the boy returned. The story was the same every night: the boy with the black eyes manifested next to Jane as she lay in bed, unable to move an inch. As per the first time, he reached out – the result of which was again a sudden feeling of overwhelming weakness. Although the boy never returned again, it took Jane days to get back to her normal self. And, she soon took on a slightly jaundiced appearance, which was most definitely not a good sign.
The story would undoubtedly have never surfaced had it not been for the fact that on one occasion in 2014, Jane’s great-granddaughter was channel-flipping one night. She was confronted by a TV show that, in part, was focused on the BEC. Amazed and more than a bit disturbed by what she was seeing, she quickly realized what it was that Jane had encountered all those decades earlier: a definitive black-eyed child of the kind that many researchers of the paranormal assume amount to a modern day enigma.
In the already exceedingly odd history of mysterious encounters with unexplained entities, there are sometimes some that stand out as particularly bizarre, to the point of being almost ludicrous. I have delved into this here at Mysterious Universe before, quite recently in fact, but the list of such perplexing cases remains long. Here are more cases which go beyond the merely odd to launch out into the outer fringes of the unexplained and the absurd.
Many of the weirder reports come from the United States, and a tough act to follow on the bizarro-meter is a case from 1924, in Pasco County, in the state of Florida, and which was related in 1974 by an elderly witness named Evelyn Wendt, who claimed that this had happened to her when she was a girl. She said that she had been playing outside on the grounds of St. Joseph school when she had noticed an egg shaped object nearby that glowed so intensely and brightly that she had to cover her eyes at first, but it then supposedly suddenly dimmed to reveal some sort of saucer shaped metal craft. As she stood there staring wide-eyed at the strange sight, a small door suddenly opened to disgorge a procession of rather bizarre creatures, and Wendt would say of them thus:
Little people emerged. I think they were robots. I tried to count them, but they changed about so. They were smaller than I was and resembled animated flowers with faces where the bud would be.
These truly bizarre “robotic sunflowers” were apparently hoisting a sinister looking machine of some sort, which Wendt instinctively sensed was a weapon of some kind, and which they also seemed to be setting up to aim towards the school’s science building. It was at about this time that the witness claimed the entities communicated with her telepathically, telling her that they intended to destroy the science building because there were dangerous experiments going on in there behind closed doors. Bizarrely, they then suddenly changed their minds, and began to file back into the craft as they invited their human companion to come along. She refused, but they supposedly promised to come back for her in later years.
Wendt would say of what happened:
They promised to come back for me in 35 years, but that was a long time ago and nothing happened that I know of. All I can remember now is that the saucer was leaden-looking and very pockmarked. Then, when it started up, its molecules expanded and it turned silvery bright. The UFO then went straight up, hovered a minute, and disappeared from sight.
UFO researchers in later years sought to bring out any other details through hypnosis, but Wendt proved impossible to hypnotize. Bizarrely, the science building of the school at one point was destroyed by unspecified means, leading one to think that maybe the robo-flowers had come back to finish the job. What in the world was going on here? Is this just a made-up delusion or is it at all real in any sense? If it really did happen, then what were these robotic flowers and why on earth did they want to blow up a junior high school’s science building? Who knows?
Also from the U.S. is an account from the 1961, in the sleepy rural town of Rogers, Kentucky. In the summer of that year, the witness, known only as a Mrs. Quinn, was allegedly awoken one night by a strange noise, and she claimed that there had been a truly unearthly entity hovering right there next to her bed, which she described as a big black, slimy blob with no neck, a tiny round head, gigantic round eyes, and “wrinkles that glowed.” She described it as looking a bit like “a roly-poly” and “a huge tar-baby with enormous eyes.” This otherworldly being then levitated across the room towards where the woman’s daughter, Judy, was sleeping, and at the same time seemed to reach out to her telepathically, of which Judy would say:
I knew it wanted me to go somewhere. I found myself slipping off the bed. Suddenly, the thing released its strange force and it was gone.
It is difficult to say just what this very strange beast could have been, but there have been plenty of theories. For some it is a ghost or even a demon, for others its some sort of creature from an alternate dimension, while others still classify it as an extraterrestrial entity. There is no way at all to know, or indeed to even be sure that this ever happened outside of the witness’s imagination. Nevertheless, it remains a singularly bizarre report that seems to defy simple classification.
Just a few years later, in 1966, we move to the state of Oregon for an equally bizarre case. On the night of April 5, 1966, a 16-year-old witness named Kathy Reeves was allegedly walking along with her friend on a secluded dark road in the small city of Newport, Oregon, when they got the sudden, unmistakeable feeling that they were being followed and watched. The two girls assumed it was just someone messing around trying to scare them, which was made clearer when they thought they could see a dimmed flashlight beam bobbing about behind them.
They picked up their pace and even tossed rocks behind them at the unseen follower, but the feeling that someone was lurking in the darkness behind them did not abate, and when they turned around at one point what they thought had been a simple flashlight suddenly erupted into a brilliant beam of incandescent light far beyond what would be expected, which was then joined by more spears of brightness jutting from the night to converge upon them. Squinting through the glare, they claimed that they could make out a large, dome-shaped object some distance off that seemed to be wreathed in some sort of fog or smoke.
The now terrified girls began to run as fast as they could towards home, but as they did their path was blocked by three unearthly creatures the likes of nothing they had ever seen. The entities were described as being headless and armless, and as looking like mobile tree stumps that moved about on what resembled spider legs and which were dressed in some sort of multi-colored cloth. The creatures thankfully did not seem to pay too much attention to the witnesses, instead scurrying across the road to scamper off out of sight towards the inscrutable dome, which still flickered in the dark behind them.
The case attracted quite a lot of media attention at the time, and was covered in both Jim Brandon’s Weird America: A Guide to Places of Mystery in the United States, as well as Jerome Clark’s Extraordinary Encounters: An Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrials and Otherworldly Beings, but no further reports have ever been recorded of these enigmatic stump-like beings, leaving us to wonder just what they could have possibly been, if anything.
In later years we have an account from the summer of 1975, in which a junior high school science teacher in New York by the name of Tom D’Ercole allegedly had a rather violent encounter with a nebulous, wraith-like entity like no other. D’Ercole purportedly woke up one clear, sunny morning to look outside his Long Island home and see what he at first took to be a small, uncommonly dark cloud that seemed to be hovering towards his house. Things got stranger still when he noticed that it was actually going against the wind to approach his residence, and that it was actually growing in size and changing shape, and as it drew closer he could see that this was in fact no cloud at all. He would say of the strange sight:
This basketball-sized cloud floated back and forth across the peak of the roof, changing in shape from a small globular mass to a larger ovoid and finally becoming an abstract, multi-curved, dark, vaporous ‘something.’ It finally measured about six feet in height and one and a half feet in width.
This is perhaps already alarming and bizarre enough as it is, but things got even weirder still when it further metamorphosed to form a “mouth” complete with “lips,” and began to seemingly inhale, after which it spewed forth a deluge of liquid that covered the teacher and his home and then evaporated into nothingness as if it had never been there at all. D’Ercole went through great efforts to try and preserve some evidence of his odd encounter by placing his wet clothes in a sealed bag, but when analyzed it was found to be nothing but plain water. Although it is unclear what the teacher could have possibly seen, it is an intriguing account in that it comes from a reliable witness in the form of a well-respected science teacher who seems to have no reason at all to have made up such an absurd-sounding story.
More recent is an account from the state of Arizona in March of 2005. The unidentified witness claims to have had an argument with her boyfriend at their Tucson home at around 3AM in the morning, during which he left the house in a huff. Soon after, she claims that she had noticed flashing blue lights in the sky, and that she had retreated indoors to find something very surreal indeed. There in her living room were reported to be one enormous creature around 7 or 8 feet in height with a “rock head” and gelatinous, “jellyfish skin,” as well as two other similar beings that were smaller in stature, at around 5 feet tall.
The entities reportedly had jelly-like skin that could change textures and colors to perfectly blend into the scenery behind them, and furthermore they then demonstrated that they could walk through walls at will. Although there were other people in the house at the time, they were all asleep and did not witness the entities. After some time had passed of the alien creatures wandering about the home, the tall one reportedly shot the witness with a stream of liquid that solidified upon contact but seemed to have no discernible effect, before the entire contingent of beasts filed out into the night to disappear. Whatever this lady saw or thinks she saw, it is very weird to say the least.
Speaking of “Jelly Men,” there was something rather similar reported over in Spain in the summer of 1965. The tale originates in the secluded mountain village of Fragosa, not far from the border with Portugal, where a Juan Dominguez and his sister Isabel were carrying a load of peaches one day to bring home. As they walked along, they spied an indistinct tall figure lurking in the shadows near a garden wall. The two witnesses claimed that as they had drawn closer they could discern some sort of strange rattling hum emanating from the humanoid figure, and it began to pace about as if in impatience.
Despite an unsettling feeling of creepiness coming from the enigmatic being, the witnesses were drawn by curiosity to draw even closer still, and that was when they were startled to see that this was far from a human being. Instead they saw a humanoid, bipedal creature standing around 7 feet tall and with unusually long arms, but what was really unnerving was that it had a body apparently made of a translucent, gelatinous-type substance and no discernible facial features at all. The thing stood there looming over them for a moment before lunging towards them, upon which the witnesses perhaps wisely fled. What was this thing? Was it an alien, and inter-dimensional being, or what? No one knows, but it is definitely profoundly odd.
Spain incidentally has another very peculiar report from even earlier still, in 1961. In, again, the summer of that year (what is it with summer, eh?) a 29-year-old truck driver named Arquimedes Sanchez was driving along a precipitous mountain road through the Basque mountains at around 11PM, along with an unnamed companion, on their way to the town of Puerto de Barazar. As they rounded a bend, their headlights hit a bizarre and rather monstrous being standing upon an embankment nearby, which prompted the pair to stop their vehicle.
When they peered through the murk ahead of them they claim that they saw a “hairy octopus,” which stood around 4 feet tall, with glowing eyes and “tentacle-like” arms. The witnesses and the thing apparently sat there completely frozen and immobile for several minutes, both probably just as startled and scared as the other, before Sanchez snapped out of it and slammed the accelerator, which caused the weird apparition to scurry backwards away from the threat, after which Sanchez backed up and tried again, apparently intent on running it over. Interestingly, the otherworldly intruder refused to take off into the night, instead always just managing to avoid being run over, as if it were all a game. Finally the two men, neither who were willing to step out of the vehicle to investigate, drove off to leave the being behind, never to be seen again.
Keeping with blob-like masses, last we come to Cuba, with an earlier report of an unclassifiable account from near Jicotea, Las Villas, in Cuba in 1915. Guess what season it was? Yes, summer. In summer that year, two armed guards were purportedly doing a horseback patrol of a sugar cane field when they came across an off- white bundle lying across their path just as their steeds began to become agitated and panicked. The patrol first thought it was just a sack until it begin to pulsate and move like a living creature, which prompted the men to shoot at it. Far from killing the globular sack, these shots seemed to only embolden it, and it was reported as actually alarmingly getting larger with each shot.
The ever expanding sack of ooze began to lurch towards the increasingly terrified guards, gradually increasing in size until it was purportedly almost as large as the horses. The horses seem to have had had enough, bucking to throw their riders to the ground and dash off into the dark. The two guards then high tailed it out of there as fast as they could. The following morning they apparently returned to the scene and found the horses wandering about. Of the strange creature they had witnesses there was no sign.
Here we have looked at some singularly unique accounts of creatures and beings that seem to defy and elude simple classification. Are these aliens, mystery monsters, inter-dimensional interlopers, or what? Is this cryptozoological in nature or something from some other “goblin universe,” making forays into our own to baffle and scare? No one really knows, there is really not much to go on but these singularly far-out reports, and they remain some of the most outlandish cases out there.
Zijn deze enorme graancirkels gemaakt door buitenaardse wezens? Kijk en oordeel zelf
Zijn deze enorme graancirkels gemaakt door buitenaardse wezens? Kijk en oordeel zelf
In een weiland in het Noord-Brabantse Hoeven zijn graancirkels ontdekt door Robbert van den Broeke. Hij is er stellig van overtuigd dat er buitenaardse wezens achter de formatie zitten, meldt Omroep Brabant.
Beelden die Van den Broeke maakte van de graancirkel en die hij op YouTube heeft geplaatst, zijn inmiddels al ruim 20.000 keer bekeken.
Het is niet voor het eerst dat het medium op graancirkels is gestuit in Hoeven. In 2013 zag hij naar eigen zeggen ook al een graanformatie en buitenaardse wezens in zijn woonplaats.
Enorme formatie
“Ik kreeg ’s nachts een onrustig gevoel en kreeg beelden te zien van een graancirkelformatie in de buurt,” verklaarde Van den Broeke.
“Ik heb niet getwijfeld en meteen mijn brommer gepakt,” vervolgde hij. Toen hij op de locatie aankwam zag hij de ‘enorme formatie’.
Ontkend
In Hoeven verschijnen al jaren mysterieuze graancirkels. Van den Broeke heeft altijd ontkend dat hij zelf betrokken is geweest bij het maken ervan.
WAAROM HET BOEK VAN HENOCH NIET IN DE BIJBEL MOCHT VERSCHIJNEN..
WAAROM HET BOEK VAN HENOCH NIET IN DE BIJBEL MOCHT VERSCHIJNEN..
Wij maken ons nu druk om censuur en alles wat voor de mensheid verborgen wordt gehouden, maar eigenlijk is dat geen nieuws.
Miljarden mensen wereldwijd gebruiken nog altijd de bijbel als leidraad, maar weten niet dat, en zeker niet waarom, ook dit boek is gecensureerd.
De bijbel is natuurlijk een heel interessant boek, want als je dat leest zonder de nodige voorprogrammering vanuit een religie, dan zijn daar opmerkelijke zaken uit te halen.
Wat bij niet veel christenen bekend zal zijn is dat de oorspronkelijke bijbel veel groter was dan de huidige versie die wij kennen. De oudste bijbel ooit is gevonden in Ethiopië, het land dat door christelijke reisorganisaties als volgt wordt aangeprezen:
Reis door noord en zuid Ethiopie, een land met eeuwenoude culturen en verrassende landschappen. De bakermat van de christelijke beschaving in Afrika.
Deze oorspronkelijke in Ethiopië aangetroffen bijbel bevat dan ook 88 boeken in plaats van de 66 die wij kennen. Eén van die ontbrekende boeken is die van Henoch.
Henoch was de overgrootvader van Noach, en de vader van Methusalem, en zijn boek geeft een unieke kijk op de wereld van voor de zondvloed - waarschijnlijk rond 9000 voor Christus. De naam Sumer betekent 'Land van de Wachters' dus Henoch leefde waarschijnlijk in het gebied dat nu Irak is.
Het eerste gedeelte van het Boek van Henoch omschrijft de val van de Wachters, de engelen boven de Nefilim. Het resterende gedeelte van het boek vertelt over de bezoeken van Henoch aan de hemel in de vorm van reizen, visioenen en dromen.
Shemjaza
Nadat de zonen van de mensen zich in die dagen hadden vermenigvuldigd werden dochters geboren, elegant en mooi. En toen de engelen, de zonen van de hemel, hen aanschouwden zeiden ze tegen elkaar: “Laten we uit de nakomelingen van de mens vrouwen kiezen en ook kinderen krijgen.” Toen zei hun leider Shemjaza: “Ik alleen zal lijden voor een dergelijke misdaad.” Maar ze antwoordden hem en zeiden: “We zweren allen dat we samen schuldig zijn en wij zullen onze intentie niet veranderen.”
Ze waren met tweehonderd en daalden neer op Ardis (in de tijd van Jared) wat de top is van de Armonberg (de Hermonbergin het hedendaagse Israël). Dit zijn de namen van hun leiders: Shemjaza, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael en Arazyal. Ze namen vrouwen voor zichzelf, benaderden hen en leerden hen toverspreuken. En de vrouwen raakten zwanger en brachten reuzen voort. - Henoch 7:1-11
Wapens
Volgens Henoch waren de Zonen van God engelachtige wezens die omlaag kwamen naar het aardse rijk en op de Hermonberg een pact sloten om kinderen te krijgen met menselijke vrouwen.
Ze brachten de mensen spreuken, meteorologie, astrologie, astronomie, interpretaties van de schijngestalten van de maan, kruidengeneeskunde en de tekens van de zon, sterren en de maan. Bovenal leerden ze de mensen hoe ze wapens konden maken. De Zonen van God werden verantwoordelijk gehouden en Shemjaza en Azazel aangewezen als zondebok.
Grote invloed
De nakomelingen van de Zonen van God en de vrouwen waren naar verluidt de Nephilim. Maar ook de engelen die uit de hemel neerdaalden stonden bekend als de Nephilim. Je kunt het vergelijken met een Iers gezin dat naar de Verenigde Staten emigreert. Na emigratie zijn de gezinsleden officieel Amerikaans staatsburger, maar eigenlijk zijn ze zowel Iers als Amerikaans.
Uiteindelijk werd het door die Wachters en hun afstammeling een zodanige puinhoop op aarde dat God besloot dat het tijd werd de mensheid te vernietigen en dat er een nieuwe start gemaakt moest worden.
En dus kreeg de achterkleinzoon van Henoch, Noach, de opdracht om een ark te bouwen, de nodige mensen en dieren te verzamelen en om na de zondvloed de aarde opnieuw te bevolken.
Wanneer in christelijke termen wordt gesproken over engelen, al dan niet gevallen, dan worden ze altijd afgebeeld als mensen met vleugels. En iedereen in die tijd vond het dan klaarblijkelijk heel gewoon dat er mensen met vleugels tussen hen liepen.
Echter, de waarheid is waarschijnlijk dat die vleugels een soort symbolische voorstelling zijn van het feit dat deze Nephilim van en naar de hemel konden vliegen. En dat deden ze niet met hun vleugels, maar met hun ruimteschepen/modules.
De reden dat het boek van Henoch nooit in de bijbel is verschenen, is omdat het in detail eigenlijk het verhaal van de Anunnaki vertelt, althans een deel daarvan.
Nibiru werd bevolkt door verschillende Reptielen-rassen en werd bestuurd door een elitaire aristocratie die bekend is als de Nefilim. Het woord zelf – Nibiru - is een Orion woord dat "het verbinden van de twee stammen" betekent. De Anunnaki waren een complexe kruising van verschillende geslachten. Ze waren een kruising van de Reptielen/Orion-lijn met de Sirius/Pleiaden-mens. De Anunnaki waren een van de meest technologisch geavanceerde buitenaardse rassen op dat moment. De Anunnaki waren een ras van veroveraars met woeste en wellustig gevoelens. Hun bewustzijn was vol bedrog en jaloezie. De Elite-klasse was vaak incestueus en hield bewust hun koninklijke bloedlijn Annunaki in tact. De Anunnaki waren biologische wezens met een extreme trots en arrogantie. Ze waren bezeten van veroveren en controleren. Ze probeerde hun onverzadigbare dorst te lessen door andere wezens te controleren en andere buitenaardse rassen te overheersen. De Anunnaki veroverden vele kwetsbare rassen en ontwikkelden complexe en onderdrukkende systemen die ze alle veroverde werelden oplegden. Ze ontwikkelden veel wrede en verwoestende wapens die zij zonder mededogen op hun slachtoffers uitprobeerden. Ze waren ook zeer bedreven in het gebruiken van MindControl, dat zij ontwikkeld hadden om hun gevangenen te controleren en te manipuleren.
Nadat de mens als slavenras genetisch in elkaar gesleuteld was met een bepaald doel, was het natuurlijk niet de bedoeling dat een aantal van die Anunnaki daar mee zou gaan knoeien door kinderen te krijgen samen met de resultaten van dat experiment (de huidige mens).
Hiermee werden dan waarschijnlijk bepaalde genetische codes zodanig verstoord bij de nakomelingen dat de leiding van de Anunnaki besloot om het experiment tot dan toe te schrappen en helemaal opnieuw te beginnen.
Ze wisten dat tijdens de passage van de planeet Nibiru er zodanige krachten op de aarde zouden inwerken dat er een “zondvloed” zou ontstaan en dus hoefden ze weinig te doen of hebben ze zelf gezorgd voor die passage.
De opname van Henoch doet denken aan de opname van Elia, zoals beschreven in 2 Koningen 2:11. Beiden stijgen in een wervelwind (storm) op ten hemel in een vurige wagen met vurige paarden.
Een vurig paard dat in een wervelwind opstijgt richting hemel is natuurlijk letterlijk af te beelden als een paard dat in de lucht verdwijnt net zoals je bij een engel er een paar vleugels aanplakt, maar veel logischer is dat hier het vertrek van een landingsmodule wordt beschreven.
Christenen vragen zich ook af waarom het boek Henoch niet in de bijbel is opgenomen:
De vraag die velen zich hebben gesteld is, waarom men bij de samenstelling van de Canon, het "Boek van Henoch" niet heeft opgenomen terwijl alle schrijvers van het Nieuwe Testament er mee vertrouwt waren. Men citeerde vrijelijk uit dit boek waaruit blijkt dat de gegevens hierin als volkomen geïnspireerd werden beschouwd. Zo schreef bijvoorbeeld Judas, een van de dienstknechten van de Here Jezus over een profetie die door Henoch is uitgesproken.
Het antwoord is eenvoudig: Men wist dat er mensen zouden komen die de inhoud van het boek Henoch zouden ontcijferen en ontdekken wat er werkelijk gebeurde. Dat dit boek te gevaarlijk was omdat dit de controle die door de eeuwen is uitgevoerd door religies, wel eens volledig onderuit kon halen.
En dus rijdt tot op vandaag de dag, een profeet zoals Elia volgens de christenen op deze magische manier naar de hemel.
Het boek Henoch leidt ons natuurlijk ook rechtstreeks naar de Anunnaki en daarmee naar Marduk/Baäl.
Christenen zullen de naam Baäl onmiddellijk herkennen als de afgod waaraan in Oud Testamentische tijden op gruwelijke wijze baby’s werden geofferd. Baäl is dan ook een synoniem voor Satan, de overste van de duistere machten, die de globalistische financiële en politieke elite inmiddels volledig in zijn greep lijkt te hebben gekregen.
De verering van Baäl in de praktijk ging als volgt:
Volwassenen verzamelden zich rondom het altaar van Baäl. Kleine kinderen werden vervolgens levend verbrand als offer voor de god Baäl. Te midden van de afgrijselijke kreten en de geur van verbrand vlees, hielden de gelovigen, zowel mannen als vrouwen, zich bezig met biseksuele orgiën. Dit hele ritueel was bedoeld om economische voorspoed te verkrijgen door Baäl op deze manier te inspireren om het te laten regenen en zo de vruchtbaarheid van “moeder aarde” te vergroten.
Wat blijkt?
De namen Baäl en Bel zijn andere namen voor de nog oudere Babylonische afgod Marduk, de god van de jacht.
Kortom, de grote Luceferiaanse baas Marduk (ook bekend als Nimrod) is onderweg met zijn planeet Nibiru en zijn trouwe volgelingen eren hem door het plaatsen van een tempel in zowel New York als Londen.
The Clarke exobelt, a method to search for possible extraterrestrial civilizations
The Clarke exobelt, a method to search for possible extraterrestrial civilizations
Finding life in other parts of the universe has been one of humanity's constant dreams. For the first time in history the scientific community has hopes based on some degree of possibility that this dream will become a reality in the not too distant future. This is, in part, due to the new generation of giant telescopes, presently in the planning phase, which we hope to be able to make a detailed analysis of the atmospheres of planets beyond the Solar System. For this reason researchers are making efforts to investigate "biomarkers", which is the term for observable evidence which we could use to give us firm evidence of life on these planets.
However, one thing is to find some form of life, but another, very different, is to find intelligent civilizations, or technological capacity, which seems much less likely. To start with we don't know whom we are looking for, we lack "technomarkers" (the analogues of biomarkers, but which reveal the presence of technology). Since the 80's of the last century there have been searches for radio signals from other civilizations, so far unsuccessful. This is hardly surprising if we remember that the radio emissions from a society such as ours would not be detectable at interstellar distances, unless they were deliberately focused in the direction of the receiver. In the scientific literature there have been proposals to look for technomarkers, for instance the well known "Dyson Spheres" which would be hypothetical artificial megastructures constructed around a star to collect its light and thereby supply the need for energy of a civilization much more advanced than ours.
Artistic representations of a Clarke exobelt

In an article published in The Astrophysical Journal by the IAC researcher Hector Socas proposed a new technomarker, which is characterized by the fact that it could be produced by present day technology on Earth. There is a very interesting region in space around planets called the "Clarke Belt" in honour of Arthur C. Clarke who in 1945 published an article about the use of geostationary orbits for telecommunications. In this belt orbit the geostationary satellites which we use for a large number of practical applications.
The publication presents a variety of simulations of "Clarke exobelts" to investigate what would be the imprint they would leave on the light of the parent star as the planet transits across its disk. The optimum conditions for observing them are found for planets in orbit round red dwarf stars, which are also the best places to look for exoplanets in general. In the article published in The Astrophysical Journal details are given of how these artificial belts can be distinguished from natural rings. Using this technique current projects and space missions designed to detect exoplanets and their moons and rings could also be used to detect this marker. "It is a search which we will have for nothing" says Hector Socas, and he adds "We have to keep our eyes open, just in case we detect this traces in the data".
Humanity's Clarke Belt (our geostationary and geosynchronous satellites) is not densely populated enough to be detected at interstellar distances, at least with our present observing capabilities. Around two thirds of existing satellites are in the region termed "low orbit", which means the first few hundred kilometres above the Earth, where space debris is already a significant problem. The Clarke belt orbit is it 36,000 km above the Earth, and it is so far much less populated, but the article shows that during recent decades the density of satellites in these orbits has been growing exponentially. If this rate continues our Clarke belt would be detectable from other stars by the year 2200.
The rate could even be speeded up if access to these orbits was reduced in cost, for example by the new reusable rockets, or by the construction of a future space lift. Or it could be slowed down if technological advance looked for other priorities. In any case there is an active debate about whether humanity should actively send messages into space or whether, on the contrary, we ought to listen discreetly without revealing our presence. "In this context, the exponential increase in our population of satellites could end up by becoming a signal which gives us away, whether we like it or not. This is a point which should be taken into account in this debate" says Socas.
Faced with the question of whether one day we will discover an "Clarke exobelt", and thereby find an extraterrestrial civilization, the researcher gives his vies that "It seems unlikely, but it costs nothing to take a look. It is as if someone gave you a lottery ticket. You know that it is very unlikely that you will win, but as you have it you check up on the result, just in case".
