Alien Life Form Caught On NASA Rover Cam, June 13, 2018, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Alien Life Form Caught On NASA Rover Cam, June 13, 2018, Photos, UFO Sighting News.
Now I found this anomaly today that seems to have eyes in one of the photos. It was caught in two photos. I have seen over 100 photos of this rock in the past two weeks (rover sat here for a while), and never have I seen this anomaly in one of the photos before. Also note, the photos were taken a few hours ago, not weeks or months ago!
It looks like an animal caught running past the cam. It must have been very light footed or the dirt was very hard, because I don't see a trail before or after it. It could be a species similar to the lizard here on Earth that berries itself in the sand and disappears. There is one full hour between the photo of no anomaly and the anomaly.
This is more evidence that life exists on Mars and NASA wants to hide it from the world. They don't have the mission to explore and share with the public. Alien life is a national security issue and therefore will never be shared with the public.

Alien Implants: The Ultimate Proof Of Alien Abductions?
Alien Implants: The Ultimate Proof Of Alien Abductions?
Every time we speak about aliens, we talk about UFO sightings. When talking about UFO signs, people speak of alien abductions, and when you read about a case where someone claims to be abducted, you end up learning about alien implants.
But what are the mysterious, miniature devices? Fact or fiction? If proven authentic, these implants could be considered as crystal-clear evidence of an alien presence on Earth.
For years, the general public has been tormented by stories of UFO sightings, and even, in some cases, even alien encounters.
However, fact-checking these stories have been disappointingly challenging to achieve.
More often than not, it simply comes down to taking a person’s word for it.
In some cases, photographs have been taken, but, inevitably, questions about their authenticity always come to light.
Therefore, when it comes down to aliens, and UFOs, physical evidence has been treated as the Holy Grail of UFO research.
The amount of “official” information about the UFO phenomenon that has been made available thanks to ufology reports around the world is impressive.
In recent years, various governments around the world have taken a step towards Disclosure as they’ve started releasing an ample amount fo top-secret documents about the UFO Phenomenon.
Not long ago, if you remember, NASA brought together scientists, theologians, philosophers, and historians to examine how to prepare the world for alien contact, whether it be microbial organisms or intelligent beings.
Recently, declassified materials have revealed thatthe Pentagon spent at least 22 million dollars researching the UFO phenomena in a secret program that existed for at least three years.
According to reports, from 2008 through 2011, the Pentagon spent a budget of around 22 million dollars on a program that investigated UFO’s. Called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, the mysterious secret program was supposedly shut down in 2012.
Anyway, getting back to alien implants…
Strange marks on the body and implants extracted from people who claim to have been abducted have been present whenever someone comes forward saying he or she was abducted by aliens.
The case of the extracted implants is very fascinating, and if proven authentic, this material could be considered as the long searched for scientific evidence of the existence of aliens, and alien abductions.
Dr. Roger Leir is arguably the best person with ‘experience’ in the extraction of extraterrestrial implants. According to Dr. Leir, he performed 17 surgeries in which he extracted small objects of unknown origin.
According to Dr. Leir, a hallucinatory feature is that these supposed incrustations the size of a pencil point were magnetic in nature, and some even emitted radio frequencies.
Other objects examined had meteorite fragments inside them; metals such as gallium, germanium, platinum, ruthenium, rhodium, and iridium.
According to Alex Mosier, who has a Ph.D. in Philosophy, Chemistry, and Physics, who examined the pieces together with Leir, fibers were found very similar to carbon nano-tubes, suggesting that the fragments were designed or manufactured:
“You would not find these things in nature, they have to be processed, they require complex engineering, and they are not easy to manufacture. ”
As noted by mufon.com, tests were performed on both the removed alien implants and the individuals several years after surgical removal.
The alleged implants removed from the first set of surgeries were studied by two different pathologists and then sent to various independent laboratories for extensive scientific analysis. The tests performed on these alleged alien implants were: a pathology/tissue evaluation, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), extensive metallurgical testing involving a density immersion test, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction pattern analysis and electron/magnetic and fluorescence property analysis. Isotopic range tests are also in progress. Tests were conducted by the National Institute of Discovery of Science (NIDS), New Mexico Tech, and other independent sources.
“The findings of these implant surgeries are highly unusual,” reported Dr. Leir. “In all these cases, there was virtually no inflammatory response.”
This is not the usual finding in foreign tissue reactions. Typically, foreign bodies embedded in tissues result in some type of acute or chronic inflammatory response and may include fibrosis and cyst formation. Such was not the case here. The pathology reports of the first two surgeries revealed that the metallic objects were encased in a very dense, tough, grey membrane consisting of proteinaceous coagulum, hemoseridin, and pure keratin.
More directly, blood protein and skin cells that are usually found in the superficial layer of the skin. Biological “cocoons” encasing the implants were also found to contain nerve proprioceptors – nerve and pressure cells of the wrong tissue type for that part of the body. These implant cocoons also fluoresced a bright green color in the presence of an ultraviolet light source.
Dr. Leir, who also worked as a consultant physician at the Mutual UFO Network, claimed that the people from whom he extracted the alien objects had no visible scars or disruption in the integrity of the skin.
There were no signs of inflammation, but the X-rays showed the incrustation, which seemed almost impossible.
The specialist in podiatry died on March 14, 2014 (paradoxically, due to a foot injury), so his studies did not go beyond a limited budget that prevented further understanding of the findings.
Until now, medicine, and probably other scientific fields, have had a phobia with respect to performing tests on people who claimed to have been abducted.
There are very few scientists and doctors who have dared to venture out into UFOlogy, especially because of the loss of prestige that this entails. However, if we are to come to the bottom of the UFO mystery, scientists, doctors, and other experts should start thinking about proactively participating in the UFO discussion, as only then will we be able to fully understand what on Earth is going on.

Supersonische tic tac stalkte vliegdekschip dagenlang en verdween daarna plotseling. Was het niet van deze wereld?
Supersonische tic tac stalkte vliegdekschip dagenlang en verdween daarna plotseling. Was het niet van deze wereld?
Uit een gelekt Pentagon-rapport is gebleken dat een Amerikaans vliegdekschip dagenlang werd gestalkt door een UFO die volgens getuigen leek op een ‘supersonische tic tac’. Fox News-presentator Tucker Carlson sprak over het rapport met Nick Pope, die jarenlang voor het Britse ministerie van Defensie onderzoek deed naar UFO’s.
Het object kon naar verluidt in de lucht blijven hangen en zichzelf camoufleren, tot verbazing van de piloten die het observeerden.
Carlson vroeg Pope waarom dit soort informatie niet door de overheid wordt gedeeld met het volk. De journalist antwoordde dat zij niet in verlegenheid wil worden gebracht over iets in het luchtruim wat zich sneller voortbeweegt dan onze eigen toestellen.
Onzichtbaar
Dat was precies de conclusie in het Pentagon-document, namelijk dat het object rondjes draaide om de F18 Super Hornets die het probeerden te achtervolgen.
“Het werd korte tijd gevolgd op de radar, maar toen was het alsof het zichzelf camoufleerde en onzichtbaar werd,” aldus Pope.
“Je zou zeggen dat dit sciencefiction was, ware het niet dat het in Pentagon-stukken staat geschreven,” vervolgde hij.
Niet van deze wereld
We weten nu dat de overheid dit erg serieus neemt en dat deze objecten in onze lucht worden gezien, benadrukte hij.
We weten ook dat geen enkel ander land beschikt over de technologie om zulke vaartuigen te maken.
“Dus eigenlijk hebben de Amerikaanse en Britse overheid geconcludeerd dat iets wat niet van deze wereld is en niet door mensen is gemaakt, wordt gevolgd op de radar en waargenomen door vliegtuigexperts?” vroeg Carlson. “Dit is echt!?”
Buitenaards
“Dit is echt,” reageerde Pope.
De overheid zegt niet dat deze objecten buitenaards zijn, maar sluit het ook niet uit, lichtte hij toe.
The world of Hollywood has always been quick to (a) pick up on what’s going on in the real world of unsolved mysteries of the conspiratorial and supernatural kind and (b) make use of those same mysteries in hit TV shows and mega-bucks movies. Take, for example, the 1994 movie, Roswell, starring Kyle MacLachlan and Martin Sheen. It’s a production that did a pretty good job of fictionalizing the world’s most famous UFO case. Then, there’s 1997’s Men in Black, starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, a movie that brought the dark-suited silencers of Ufology to a new, huge audience. And, of course, there’s The X-Files, which weaved far more than a few well-known enigmas into its plot-lines, including the Jersey Devil, lake monsters, and the world’s most famous, secret base, Area 51.
There is, however, one particularly sinister and enduring mystery that, for the most part, falls under Hollywood’s radar. Yes, it occasionally gets touched upon. Sometimes, it will get more than a few minutes of coverage. But, chiefly, it never gets the airtime that many might say it well deserves. You may be wondering what I’m talking about. Well, I’ll tell you: it’s the mysterious matter of cattle mutilations.
There’s a truly awful 1980 movie on the subject titled The Return. Indeed, it’s not even worth commenting on. So I won’t! There is, however, one film which is definitely worth commenting on. Its title: Endangered Species. It’s a well-researched movie that stars the late Robert Urich (of Vegasfame), who finds himself plunged into the heart of a menacing and disturbing conspiracy in the Centennial State, Colorado.
Directed and co-written by Alan Rudolph, Endangered Speciesfocuses on one Ruben Castle (Urich). He’s a Big Apple-based police-officer. He has a major drink problem. And, his relationship with his daughter, Mackenzie (Marin Kanter) is rocky, to say the least. So, something has to give. And it does. Castle decides that the best thing he can do is to get out of New York for a while, quit the bottle for good, and try and mend fences with his daughter. It doesn’t quite work out like that, however.
After arriving in a small Colorado town, specifically one where an old friend in the world of newspapers, Joe Hiatt (played by Paul Dooley) lives and works, both Castle and his daughter cause problems for the local police. And particularly so for the local sheriff, Harriet Purdue – played by actress JoBeth Williams. Indeed, Castle is not a particularly endearing character: he’s a drunk with a hair-trigger temper, and, while in Colorado, he fails to stay on the wagon. But, it’s to the credit of the production team that they chose to make their star a flawed figure, rather than playing things safe and going with the typical Hollywood “hero.” And Urich does a very good job of giving substance to the role of Castle. All of which brings us to the plot: something downright deadly is afoot.
In no time at all, Castle learns that something very strange is going on in town and in the surrounding fields of local farmers. Cattle have been found killed under very strange circumstances. Organs are removed with what appears to be expert precision. Incisions seem to have been achieved by nothing less than lasers. Everyone in town is on edge. Ranchers are angry and outraged. That’s hardly surprising, given that there is talk of UFOs skulking around in the dead of night. There are whispers, too, of satanic cults roaming the area, sacrificing the cows in devilish rituals. And, the audience is given tantalizing glimpses of strange lights in the sky. What’s going on? That’s the question that Castle finds himself pursuing, more by accident than by design.
As Endangered Species progresses we see Castle and Sheriff Purdue hook up in more ways than one. And we see that what begins as a tale filled with accounts of aliens and devil-worshipers, soon becomes something very different. In many ways, it’s something even more deadly and dangerous than beef-loving ETs or devotees of Satan. Particularly deadly and dangerous are Hoyt Axton and Peter Coyote. Or, rather, they should be dangerous.
Axton plays Ben Morgan, a powerful figure in town. He appears to know far more than he’s willing to admit. Whereas, Coyote’s character is someone known only as Steele, a man who definitely knows more than he’s saying. It’s unfortunate, however, that both characters come across like stereotypical, over-the-top, we’ve-seen-it-all-before arch-villains. Indeed, Steele would have been perfectly at home in one of those old, 1920s-era silent movies, in which the black-cloaked villain ties a beautiful blond to the railroad tracks and eagerly rubs his hands (and twiddles his mustache) as a fast-approaching train threatens to end her life.
That quibble aside, however, Endangered Species is not a bad movie at all. As the story continues, we see far less talk about aliens and UFOs, and far more about black and near-silent helicopters, secret biological- and germ-warfare programs, and paramilitary-style operations of a very dark kind. We also see Joe Hiatt killed for poking his nose where it wasn’t wanted. Ben Morgan comes to a grisly end, too. All of which leads us to a solid, suspense-filled conclusion and an answer to the mystery.
In case this article prompts you to delve into Endangered Species for yourself, I won’t spoil things by revealing the outcome, and who – or what – is really mutilating cattle in Colorado and elsewhere. And why. I will, however, say that this is a well-made, largely engrossing, movie. For me, at least, it echoes in many ways the likes of certain classic 1970s-era movies, such as The Parallax View, Capricorn One, and All the President’s Men, in terms of the on-screen paranoia, suspicion of government, and mystery that those movies so skillfully generated. Endangered Species does very much the same. It’s not the greatest movie ever made. But, it is a largely well-acted, and well-made, production. It’s a very thought-provoking film, too, given what we know (or don’t know) about cattle mutilations in the real world.
What are they hiding? UK Government is withholding three UFO files, former Ministry of Defence employee claims
What are they hiding? UK Government is withholding three UFO files, former Ministry of Defence employee claims
In 2008, the Government started to release its UFO files to the public, but 10 years later, three files still haven’t been made public, according to Nick Pope
While UFOs are often seen as objects that belong in the imagination of conspiracy theorists, the British Government has taken them very seriously for years.
In 2008, the Government started to release its UFO files to the public in the hopes of being as transparent as possible.
But while the release process was expected to take three years at most, three files still haven’t been made public, according to Nick Pope, a former employee at the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
Mr Pope said: “Having worked on the Ministry of Defence's UFO project and having written many of the documents that have already been released, I'm extremely disappointed that ten years after the release of the first files, the project is still incomplete.”
Nick Pope
Why the Government is withholding the files remains unclear, but Mr Pope explained that the files have been sent backwards and forwards between the MoD and The National Archives at least twice, adding to people's suspicions.
Mr Pope said: “A lot of people think the government is covering up the truth about UFOs and this unfortunate situation is only adding fuel to the fire with regard to these conspiracy theories.”
Mr Pope added that while he and his colleagues took the issue of UFOs seriously, they were often forced to ‘spin’ the subject for the media, ‘disingenuously stating that the subject was of "no defence significance"'.
Have The Ancient Ruins Of Atlantis Been Found In Antarctica?
Have The Ancient Ruins Of Atlantis Been Found In Antarctica?
I mean who doesn’t want to find Atlantis, right?
According to satellite images on Google Earth, there is a strange area in Antarctica which supposedly reveals a structure that, according to some theorists, could belong to lost ancient civilization, and not just any lost civilization, but Plato’s Atlantis.
As expected, the video detailing the possible ‘discovery’ was posted by the Conspiracy Depot channel, and it shows a series of lines that according to the video’s narrator, appear to have an artificial origin and have been exposed due to the melting of the ice in the region.
“The three parts of this structure are separated by equal distances and all are approximately seven meters long,” says Graham Maple, owner of the YouTube channel.
“It looks ancient, almost as if it had been carved into the rock itself. I think this was what was left of a building or structure. I think there were great civilizations in the ancient Antarctic continent and maybe Antarctica was even home to the mythical Atlantis, “he said.
2There is much-forgotten knowledge of our ancient history. We are beginning to scratch the surface with this new discovery,” concluded Maple.
According to Mapple, Atlantis, or the ruins of another ancient empire, are buried somewhere beneath the Antarctic ice.
Image Credit: Google Earth.
Coordinates: 64 ° 2’40.87 “S 59 ° 46’13.97” W (the discovery was made in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula).
So are these the Atlantean ruins that have eluded discovery for centuries?
If we read what Plato wrote about the mythical city/continent than no.
The Story of Atlantis
In Timaeusand Critias, written around 360 BC Plato described—through the voice of Critias—how Solon, a highly respected and well known Greek Statement traveled to Sais and met with priests from the goddess Neith.
It is there where an extremely old priest tells Solon about an empire that existed 9,000 years before him, which was at war with Athens.
Eventually, this empire identified as ‘Atlantis’ was destroyed by a great catastrophe.
Sonchis explained that Atlantis’ capital city was elaborately constructed, where great temples and palaces were erected, adorned by exotic gardens made of silver, gold and, ivory. Sonchis further described the capital of the Atlantean empire as being made of massive walls, which in turn were surrounded by circular islands protecting the inner citadel of the metropolis.
And according to Plato, Atlantis was located “beyond the Pillars of Hercules“. While Antarctica is beyond the pillars, it isn’t anywhere near where Plato said the mighty Atlantean empire disappeared.
However, as noted by experts, Antarctica wasn’t always the frozen continent and was certainly not always located where it today (geographically).
While this may not be Atlantis, it certainly is interesting to see what future explorations of the frozen continent will yield, and whether or not it’s possible that in the distant past, perhaps even before written history, great civilizations ruled the earth.
Since the 1970s, scientists have treated pulsars and magnetars as 2 distinct populations of objects. Now they think they might be stages in a single object’s evolution. A new NASA ScienceCast has more.
A neutron star is a formerly large star that has run out of fuel and exploded as a supernova. As gravity forces the star to collapse to the size of a small city, the star becomes so dense that a single teaspoon of the collapsed star would have as much mass as a mountain. The star’s core, now a neutron star, can be rotating as fast as 10 times a second or more. Over time the rotation of the core can start speeding up by pulling matter from its surroundings, rotating over 700 times a second!
Some neutron stars, called radio pulsars, have strong magnetic fields and emit radio waves in predictable, reliable pulses. Other neutron stars have even stronger magnetic fields, displaying violent, high-energy outbursts of X-ray and gamma ray light. These are called magnetars, and their magnetic fields are the strongest known in the universe, a trillion time stronger than that of our sun.
Since the 1970s, scientists have treated pulsars and magnetars as two distinct populations of objects. But, in the last decade, evidence has emerged that shows they might sometimes be stages in the evolution of a single object. Neutron stars and magnetars might just be two sides of the same coin – first it’s a radio pulsar and later becomes a magnetar. Or maybe it’s the other way around.
Some scientists argue that objects like magnetars gradually stop emitting X-rays and gamma rays over time. Others propose the opposite theory: that the radio pulsar comes first and then, over time, a magnetic field emerges from the neutron star causing those magnetar-like outbursts to start.
No one knows for sure which scenario is correct, but this is an active area of study among astronomers. The NASA video above – released on May 30, 2018 – has more.

Mysterieuze microgolfstraling in de Melkweg wordt veroorzaakt door...nano-diamanten
Mysterieuze microgolfstraling in de Melkweg wordt veroorzaakt door...nano-diamanten
Caroline Kraaijvanger
De piepkleine edelstenen zweven rond jonge sterren.
Al enkele decennia nemen onderzoekers in onze Melkweg een vrij mysterieuze microgolfstraling waar die ook wel wordt aangeduid als AME. Dat staat voor Anomalous Microwave Emission. De microgolfstraling is vrij mysterieus, omdat onderzoekers lang maar niet konden ontdekken hoe deze straling precies ontstond. “We wisten dat een bepaald type deeltje verantwoordelijk was voor de microgolfstraling, maar de exacte bron is een raadsel sinds de AME bijna 20 jaar geleden voor het eerst gedetecteerd werd,” stelt onderzoeker Jane Greaves.
Nano-diamanten Een nieuwe studie lost het hele raadsel echter op. In het blad Nature Astronomy tonen onderzoekers aan dat de microgolfstraling zeer waarschijnlijk afkomstig is van heel kleine koolstofkristallen – oftewel nano-diamanten – die zich in het stof en gas rond piepjonge sterren bevinden. “Met behulp van een Sherlock Holmes-achtige aanpak waarbij we alle andere oorzaken hebben uitgesloten, kunnen we nu met vrij veel zekerheid zeggen dat de aanwezigheid van nano-diamanten rond pasgevormde sterren de beste en waarschijnlijk de enige manier is om deze microgolfstraling te produceren,” aldus Greaves.
Protoplanetaire schijven Greaves en collega’s trekken die conclusie nadat ze met behulp van twee telescopen inzoomden op drie duidelijke bronnen van AME: de protoplanetaire schijven rond de jonge sterren V892 Tau, HD97048 en MWC 297. “Dit is de eerste duidelijke detectie van Anomalous Microwave Emission afkomstig van protoplanetaire schijven,” stelt onderzoeker David Frayer. Een analyse van het infrarode licht afkomstig van deze protoplanetaire schijven wijst erop dat de waargenomen microgolfstraling ontstaat door snel roterende nano-diamanten met waterstof bevattende moleculen op hun oppervlak.
Paks Lang werd gedacht dat de AME ontstond door paks: polycyclische aromatische koolwaterstoffen. Maar de onderzoekers vegen die hypothese vrij resoluut van tafel. In hun studie keken ze namelijk ook naar protoplanetaire schijven die deze paks duidelijk herbergen. Maar deze protoplanetaire schijven produceerden niet de microgolfstraling waar ze naar op zoek waren. Een duidelijk signaal dat paks deze straling niet veroorzaken.
De nano-diamanten waarover de onderzoekers spreken, zijn honderdduizenden keren kleiner dan een zandkorrel en kunnen heel gemakkelijk ontstaan in de extreem hete protoplanetaire schijven. Volgens de onderzoekers zou zo’n 1 tot 2 procent van het aanwezige koolstof in de protoplanetaire schijven omgetoverd worden tot nano-diamanten.

Brian O´Leary PhD Apollo Astronaut There Is Life Out There
Brian O´Leary PhD former Apollo Astronaut states, “The technological implication of UFOs is one reason for the secrecy that surrounds them. The way they can stop on point and move any direction they choose brings up a big question; what type of propulsion systems and operating characteristics are involved? If we know UFOs are real, one of the questions to ask is how they operate and how they get to where they need to be.
Given all of the official documentation and credible witness testimonies, we are able to question further and make reasonable connections. With the amount of effort and time spent to cover up the reality of UFOs, it is logical to assume that the ones responsible for the cover up have the same questions that we do. How do they operate? Maybe more exists beyond the secrecy, maybe some questions have been answered and seized by those who control the money supply. Anti-Gravity, clean energy, the list goes on and on. Even without UFOs, human beings have the scientific and technological capability to change our planet. It’s time to start asking more questions, if we have alternative and more efficient ways of operating on planet Earth that could benefit everybody, why are they not being implemented and who is responsible?”Former Apollo Astronaut Leaks Info on Mars NASA Leaking
William F. Hamilton III writes, “In all probability the first saucer scientists were rocket scientists. Without a doubt one of these great men was the pioneering rocket scientist, Professor Hermann Oberth was a writer, scientist, and visionary from Austria-Hungary whose paper.”The Rocket into Interplanetary Spacewas published in 1923 and served as an inspiration to the rocket designers that followed. Influenced by Verne’s books and ideas, Oberth constructed his first model rocket as a school student at the age of 14. In his youthful experiments, he arrived independently at the concept of the multistage rocket. By 1917, he showed how far his studies had reached by firing a rocket with liquid propellant in a demonstration to Hermann von Stein, the Prussian Minister of War.
Werner von Braun read Oberth’s work in 1925, and joined him in rocket experiments in 1930. Oberth is considered the Father of Rocketry.
In letters to Major Donald Keyhoe, Oberth mentions his belief that saucers are spaceships manned by superior beings. He says that the marvelous aerodynamics of the saucers is accomplished by generating an artificial gravity field. This is the famous G-field theory. The saucers create their own gravitational fields which enables them to hover motionless above the earth, accelerate at tremendous speeds, or execute violent turns that would cause ordinary aircraft to disintegrate. Even with swift changes of speed and direction, the passengers would feel no effect. It would also explain the silence of UFOs in flight as the artificial G-field would drag the surrounding air along with it. And, because the air is not flowing pass the hull, it would eliminate heating caused by friction.
Statements have been made that saucer behavior defies the laws of physics. It seemed impossible that a manned craft could execute such tremendous accelerations from a hovering position to a high-speed linear velocity or in high-speed acute-angled turns. Inertial forces caused by such accelerations would tear apart an aircraft frame. And, often, the picture came to mind of a human pilot ending up flat as a pancake against the cabin wall. Gerald Heard, in his book, “Is Another World Watching?” hypothesized that the saucers were being flown by insects because only insects could survive those wrenching turns. All of these concerns evaporate when one considers the physics of G-field propulsion. Our science appears to have missing explanations for the advanced technology.
In a revealing document published in Status Report VII by the late pioneering researcher Leonard Stringfield, a preliminary report refers to a recovered flying disc. The report does not specifically mention Roswell, but states that the data in the report was provided by the engineering staff of T-2 at the Air Material Command at Wright Field. One of the scientists examining the evidence is Dr. Theodore von Karmen, founder of Aerojet, and then head of the Army Air Forces Scientific Advisory Group. Dr. von Karmen was a leading authority on aerodynamics and had authored papers, both in English and German on the subject. Another renowned scientist mentioned in the report is Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, Director of the Manhattan Project and a leading physicist of his day.
In the opinion of these two famous scientists the interior of the craft contained a compartment with an atomic engine. The device was a donut-shaped tube approximately thirty-five feet in diameter, made of what appeared to be plastic material around a central core. A large rod centered inside the tube was wrapped in a coil and the investigators believed it to be the source of electrical potential which ionized the surrounding air around the craft. www.Amazon.com/books diagram.
PAPERCLIP
After World War II key German scientists were brought to the United States in a project called PAPERCLIP. According to the Cantwheel documents it seems that the Germans (Von Braun’s group) were in a position to identify whatever they found whether they were a V weapon or advanced disc craft. About 100 of them were assigned to PAPERCLIP projects at Fort Bliss, White Sands during this period. Ordway stated that they were issued special War Department ID cards that specifically stated that they were not to be held or questioned by authorities and had permission to leave the Fort Bliss test range sometime in early July 1947 for unspecified reasons.
It has been my belief for a long time that the Germans were brought into the classified UFO Program since they had a 25-year head start in advanced disc aircraft and rocket research. General Donald Putt was responsible for their employment at Wright Field (Putt is mentioned in Top Secret Project SIGN files as head of Air Force R&D in 1947-48 and was a student of Theodore von Karman).
The CIA’s PAPERCLIP files contained biographies of Germany’s top scientists (some were declassified for me in 1994) for possible recruitment in the U.S. PAPERCLIP was a illegal project to prevent Von Braun and approximately 200 other Germans from standing trial at Nuremberg for war crimes. Army and Air Force CIC deleted any information of their Nazi affiliation and SS positions (Von Braun was a SS Major) and the CIA misled the White House about their pasts. The U.S. considered their knowledge as vital to National Security and defense for the Russians had captured and recruited some of Von Braun’s people to work on their missile and jet aircraft development projects. The Germans were also instrumental in creating the Russian’s atomic bomb program and ICBM projects. The Germans essentially ran NASA and missile research for the US for at least 20 years.
As far as I know from reading Linda Hunt’s book on the German’s PAPERCLIP was a going concern as late as 1990.
Life on Mars
Curiosty Rover and Jen Eigenbrode,
On June 7, 2018, NASA announced Mars the Red Planet could have building blocks of life, Curiosity rover has revealed the latest results from its Curiosity rover gathering samples from the surface of Mars. NASA the US space agency announced Mars has the building blocks of life, in a discovery that could suggest the planet was once inhabited – or even still is today. During a press conference at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Goddard, Md., and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., scientists noted that the molecules provide fresh insight into Mars. “We found organic molecules in rocks from an ancient lake bed,” explained Jen Eigenbrode, research scientist at Goddard. A variety of molecules were identified in rocks billions years old, she added.
While NASA was at pains to explain that it has not discovered life on Mars, the organic molecules could provide vital clues. “Organic compounds are fundamental to our search for life,” said Paul Mahaffy, director of the Solar System Exploration Division at Goddard.
Described as the most technologically advanced rover ever built, Curiosity launched on Nov. 6 2011. The rover landed on Mars’ Gale Crate on Aug. 6 2012 with the goal of determining whether Mars was ever able to support microbial life. Thanks to NASA
1976 Life Found on Mars
Similar Landers reached Mars in 1976, with Labeled Release (LR) experiments developed for NASA’s Viking Landers 1 & 2, by Dr. Gilbert Levin who states, “The scientific process forces me to my conclusion, the Viking LR experiment detected living microorganisms in the soil on Mars”.
Mold or lichen on Mars Rock 1976 Green added
1976 Mars Viking Lander’s Labeled release microbial life signs detectors … the two devices which BOTH gave positive signs for Martian Life, back in 1976.
The LR test was one of three performed by the lander. JPL used the results of another test, the gas chroma/to/graph which was designed to test for the presence of organic chemicals. The LR test was designed to look for life.NASA has claimed these experiments approved by them were in error when they actually found life.
All of the multiple rationales attempting to explain the Mars LR results as chemical or physical in origin have now been effectively refuted, but their impact remains. A tried and true scientific axiom says: once a method to probe the unknown demonstrates utility, the exploratory tool should be refined to investigate the causes of the phenomenon discovered Mars exploration might greatly benefit by elaborating on the demonstrated LR technique.
I spoke with Dr. Levin he is convinced life exists on Mars and his experiments and Mars Photographs of Moss or lichen of many of the rocks are proof. The color film coming back from Mars showed blue skies and only some red soil and grey rocks. The red color was increased to delete the blue sky and mold on rocks.
Argument is made that each of the vital links in the chain of life connecting Earth and Mars has a probability of one. Today’s knowledge makes it very difficult to conceive of a sterile Mars. Indeed, it now seems that Earth and Mars form one biosphere. This sheds new light on the results of the Viking LR experiment on Mars. Together with growing acceptance[32] of the fact that no chemical or physical experiment or theory has satisfactorily explained the extensive and consistent LR data, significant support is found for the conclusion8 that it detected microbial life in the soil of Mars.
While the case for life on Mars has strengthened in recent years, many will require additional proof before accepting such a major change in paradigm. It has been proposed8,[33] that this important confirmation can be obtained by a simple modification of a miniaturized version of the original LR experiment[.
ALL LINKS IN THE VITAL CHAIN CONNECTING MARS AND EARTH ARE NOW ESTABLISHED
Microorganisms are widely distributed on Earth.
Meteorites impacting Earth eject soil and rocks into space.
Microorganisms in the ejecta can survive the shock and temperature of impact.
Microorganisms in ejecta can survive heating through Earth’s atmosphere.
Microbes can survive the temperature and vacuum of the space environment.
Microorganisms can survive the ionizing radiation of space.
Mars-infecting ejectus can approach Mars and be captured in its gravity well.
Microbes can survive the temperature of entering the Martian atmosphere.
Microbes can survive the shock and temperature of impact on Mars.
Terrestrial microorganisms can grow under Martian conditions.
Microorganisms are capable of adapting to or evolving to spread over wide regions of Mars.
Earth and Mars were hospitable over epochs that would have permitted infection of Mars by Earth microorganisms—and from other sources.
It is now more difficult to propose a sterile Mars than a live one.
Tubes or Canals on Mars
Face on Mars in Cydonia
Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli, who in 1877 reported the appearance of certain long, thin lines he called canali, meaning channels in Italian. He was followed by Percival Lowell an American the wealthy astronomer who ‘discovered civilization’ on Mars. Lowell built his own observatory and studied in detail Mars and what he called canals. In his day, Lowell was far and away the most influential popularizer of planetary science in America. His widely read books included “Mars” (1895), “Mars and Its Canals” (1906), and “Mars As the Abode of Life” (1908).’
To pursue his misguided obsession, Lowell founded and funded one of the world’s great observatories on a 7,200-foot (2,195-meter) mountain peak he named Mars Hill, near Flagstaff, Arizona. There he scrutinized the heavens, and particularly Mars, with, his own custom-built 24-inch refracting telescope, built in 1894, which became a marvel of the age.
Lowell carried the matter much further. Captivated by these sketchily observed tubes or dark areas Lowell spent many years attempting to elucidate and theorize about them. The lines, he thought, must “run for thousands of miles as far actually as from Boston to San Francisco.” What Lowell was likely seeing were a series of tubes or tunnels perhaps under construction a hundred years ago.
Giant Mars Tubes that can hold Manhattan, NY
On Mars there are a series of tubes several miles wide that show up within several craters and natural low valleys. They are similar in size to Manhattan, New York and could actually contain skyscrapers as shown. According to the MSSS supplied statistics, the strip above is 2.98 km wide or 1.85 miles wide. Remember that the tubes extend from one side edge of the crater to the other and off the strip with no signs of diminishment in size.. These tubes within the craters are 8.92 km or 5.54 miles of tube length. However, we can also reasonably assume that there is still plenty of tube system unseen off the left or west edge of the E12-03186 strip and off the right or east edge of the E11-03408 strip that appear to go underground. Note that the dark area spread on the crater floor that is mostly the tube mass tends to confirm a much greater mass size beyond the limitations of the strip views and therefore probably substantial more tube length. So, we’re talking about a colossal tube system substantially longer than 5.5 miles and in fact many kilometers or miles longer than that. Much smaller tubes are found in valleys and places where the soil has been blown away.
Besides the giant tubes that have been found in the Mars crater photographs, there are much smaller “tubes” often referred as glass or Plexiglas tubes because they are translucent or even transparent. There are miles and miles of them … some mostly buried … a few completely exposed as in these photos. The diameter of the smaller tube is 20-50 meters (66 to 164 feet) in general. That’s about big enough to put two interstate highways through. Supposedly, they are exposed through the mechanism of geological weathering of the surface soil. It does not appear that these tunnels or tubes are geologic or natural construction. This leaves us with the awesome conclusion that they have another origin of which there are only two possibilities … they are organic … or … they are artificial.
I should point out NASA claims these tubes are actually sand dunes. While the European Space Agency feels many of the tubes are lava flows. Prevailing winds form sand dunes from one direction, while the tubes run in many directions making sand dunes unlikely.
We can speculate a Mars civilization may have decided to go underground due to being hit repeatedly by meteorites or radiation from space. The tubing appears somewhat transparent and likely allows some light to penetrate while stopping the radiation. Underground water appears to seep in on the sides of the craters and dams collect the water. There is oxygen, water, and the building blocks of life found on Mars indicating life likely exists. There’s no magnetic field on Mars so the ceaseless hazard of ionizing radiation could result in shortened lifespan for Martians, Using absorber materials such as Plexiglas for beta particles and lead for X-rays and gamma rays is an effective way to reduce radiation exposure
I have seen too much evidence of tampering on such a fine level and small scale to convince me that this could have been done only with much larger closer in views. That implies that the MOC cameras are capable of much higher resolutions than are being publicly reported and that someone is artificially pulling back to lesser resolution distances for our benefit to hide small evidence and to hide the tampering that now shrinks down to appear a more natural part of the terrain.

Possible Reconnaissance of Earth by Asteroid?
Scientists were surprised to detect — for the first time — an interstellar asteroid passing through our solar system. That is unlike any asteroid or comet observed in our solar system to date, and may provide new clues into how other solar systems formed. Asteroid 1I/2017 U1 was discovered October 19, 2017 by the NASA-funded Pan-STARRS1 telescope in Hawaii. Additional observations brought more surprises: the object is cigar-shaped with a somewhat reddish hue. The asteroid, named Oumuamua by its discoverers, is up to one-quarter mile (400 meters) long and highly-elongated-perhaps 10 times as long as it is wide. Some scientist thought it had the shape and size of a spaceship cleverly disguised as an asteroid. From its trajectory and speed, scientists determined it came from outside our solar system. It was a special day when this object was first discovered. We had been waiting for the discovery of an interstellar object for decades basically. This object is simply a piece of another solar system that was expelled and it has been traveling through interstellar space for – hundreds of millions of years, billions of years? We don’t know. A number of our survey projects and other observatories immediately turned their telescopes to take observations of this object.
NASA basically missed seeing a huge asteroid that passed unnervingly close to Earth on 17 April 2018.
While the world was busy doing its thing on Saturday, a giant asteroid the size of a football field whizzed by our planet.
We only had a few hours of warning. NASA scientists noticed the massive asteroid at an observatory in Arizona just a few hours before it gave Earth a surprise flyby.
As shown asteroids will pass Earth several times this month. A small one crashed into Asteroid 2018 LA entered Earth’s atmosphere at about 9:44 a.m. PDT (12:44 p.m. EDT, 16:44 UTC), and June 3, 2018 later disintegrated in the upper atmosphere near Botswana, Africa last week.
Increasing Military Importance of Space
Photo: Sunrise by Arek Socha/Quimono
The increasing military importance of space permeated the 34th Space Symposium in April. Speakers from Vice President Michael R. Pence down through a range of military and Air Force officials underscoring the need to focus on space as a war fighting domain, as the Trump administration has declared it to be.
The emphasis on the national security space enterprise has been an increasing focus in Washington in recent months. It has been prominent in, for example, the administration’s December National Security Strategy and in continuing calls from some in Congress for establishment of a space force or space corps as a military service separate from the Air Force.
Pence’s remarks, pointed to Trump’s statements that “space is a war fighting domain, just like the land, air, and sea” and calls for the Pentagon to strengthen the resilience of US space systems in the face of Russian and Chinese pursuit of anti-satellite capabilities.
It was Defense Department officials at the conference, who really hammered the point home.
General Raymond Photo: David Grim/USAF
Gen. John W. Raymond, commander of Air Force Space Command headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base and the Joint Force Space Component under US Strategic Command, pointedly predicted that future historians will look back on 2017 and 2018 as “one of the most critical times in our national security space history.”
It will be seen, he suggested, “as a strategic inflection point for national security space and a bold shift toward war fighting and space superiority.”
. Also high on the agenda was the recurring theme that the defense and security elements of the US government are increasingly focused on dealing with national security issues raised by the changing space environment. Gen. John Raymond, head of Air Force Space Command, speaks at the 34th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colo., in April.
General John E. Hyten, commander of US Strategic Command and former commander of Air Force Space Command, told reporters there was “no doubt in my mind we’re going to have to deploy defensive counter space systems because our adversaries are building offensive counter space systems.”“The nation’s going to have to make a decision on what we do in order to challenge somebody else’s space capabilities. I think we have to go down that path,” Hyten said.
He said understanding of the threat in space has grown in Washington policy circles in recent years. He praised the House Armed Services Committee’s Strategic Forces Subcommittee for defining in legislation—including the National Defense Authorization Act—what needs to be done in space.
“But the real benefit, the real strength of that law was the identification of the problem. That will allow us now to engage with the broader members of Congress to further educate them on what the threat is. And we’ve also shared a very detailed tabletop exercise with the members of the Senate and House Armed Services committees so they can see the full implication of all the things that we’re worried about,” he said.
He pointed to a number of steps already taken, including the administration’s 2019 budget request that includes almost $7 billion more for space, growing partnerships with the National Reconnaissance Office and with industry, establishment of a four-star Space Component Command in US Strategic Command, and the planned conversion of the Joint Space Operations Center into a Combined Space Operations Center.
However, even as the government has already taken steps to focus more on national security space, “it is time to go further,”
Air Force Secretary Heather A. Wilson said, and she announced a series of steps at the symposium to do just that. SBIRS-4 is ready for encapsulation in January 2018 at Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla.
Wilson said now is the time to expand national security space relations with allies and partners because the US faces “a more competitive and dangerous international security environment than we have seen in decades.” As America’s great power rivals, “Russia and China are developing capabilities to disable our satellites,” she added.
She announced the Air Force would, starting next year, increase the availability of Air Force space training for allies and partners by adding two more courses to the National Security Space Institute, including one on space situational awareness. USAF would also open more of the existing advanced national security space courses to members of allied nation militaries, including those of France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and possibly others—Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom were already in. “Countries with allies thrive and those without allies” do not, she told reporters before her speech.
Wilson said US satellites are to become more resilient and defendable and must be developed more quickly. She said the time for replacing the canceled seventh and eighth Space-Based Infrared System missile warning satellites would be cut from nine to five years for the new satellites. Altogether, the Air Force is working to make its space capabilities more flexible so it can respond faster, winning wars in ways enemies can’t predict. Thanks to AFA

UFO Sightings in the United States
Arizona Light
Casa Grande — My dad texted me and told me there are some strange lights in the sky on the west side of Gila Bend. He knows that I’m into this stuff. So I looked in that direction. I saw a fireball like light flashing. I thought it was a plane at first but it didn’t move, it was flashing different colors it was hovering. I started recording on my phone. I notice two little red lights on the bottom creating a triangle. Then after that they disappeared. I was excited because I had experienced a dark grey triangle in Gila Bend on December 14, 2017.Thanks to MUFON CMS
California Object
Redding — A friend of mine took me up in his plane out of the Redding Municipal Airport. I brought my camera to do some aerial photography. We were off the ground and I took a photo of the runway as we ascended. I didn’t notice any object and I first noticed the object when I downloaded my photos to process them in Photoshop.
It had a distinct shape and flight angle, but I don’t know which direction it was traveling.
I was only observing our forward take off through my camera’s viewfinder. I don’t know how fast a propeller turns, but the object came out more distinct than the propeller. I applied the burn tool on Photoshop to the object to bring out a bit more detail. In doing so, I realize that may have rendered the object as something that it is not. But the object intrigued me enough to consider that maybe I unintentionally captured an image of an UFO. I sent the image to my friend who piloted the plane and he sent it on to MUFON. I used a Sony a77, Sony 16-50 f:2.8 lens. Settings were: f/6.3, 1/1000th second, ISO 160 and taken at 24mm focal length. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Colorado Light
Denver — I was just watching tv after a 12 hour shift on May 31, 2018. The light shining off of the object was bright enough for me to look out the window. I seriously thought it was the moon, except the moon is not in that quadrant at 12:30 am. The light from it was shining so brightly, that the outline of a cross surrounded it. I was honestly in shock. I’ve always wanted to see a UFO, so it was a thrilling moment for me. Hopefully the pics show some of what I saw. The object slowly flew away towards a weird object far away that looked like some sort of gate. It was a really thrilling experience. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Florida Alien
Tampa — I was told the following story by the witness who was asleep in bed in the middle of the night with his wife when something woke him up. He looked over and he saw his wife sitting on the side of the bed with her back to him. She would not answer to her name when he tried to get her attention. He leaned over so he could see her face and saw her holding a small grey figure in her hands. It had a head and big eyes, almond eyes. The grey figure and the wife were looking at each other but smoke was being exchanged between their two mouths. The husband slapped the grey figure out of his wife’s hands and it tumbled to the floor. He got up and tried to grab it but it screamed, using his wife’s voice! The grey dove out the window and was gone. When he woke his wife up, she didn’t remember anything. Thanks to John Guerra
Georgia Object
On October 17, 2016, I was outside at my residence sky watching when I saw and photographed numerous UFO objects. I had just started sky watching as a pastime hobby. So I did not think anything of it at the time. Being a newbie to sky watching I thought maybe I had been shaking the camera a little, which could have caused light of a star to blur and be all over the place. This past week I was going over a lot of my photo’s and recording’s from the past couple of years and I came across these pictures of UFO’s. I have poured over them all and after two years of observing. I now know what I photographed was some sort of craft. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Illinois Cylinders
Salem — I was traveling on my way to work on Saturday June 2nd,2018, in the evening around 5:30pm. watching a storm close in over the area. something out of place caught my eye and I slowed my vehicle, took a couple of pictures and continued on my way to work. I reviewed the pictures yesterday afternoon and found the objects in question then. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Galesburg — I go outside everyday at 5-5:30 and I face away from sun at its brightest.
I sit the sun on my head, and take a picture. Everyday a blue sphere appears in my pictures during this.
In pictures from June 4 2018, I noticed a cigar shaped object in the sky above me.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Indiana Disk
Palmyra –I was taking a picture of our willow tree for a website. I did not see or hear the object while taking the pic. I saw it after I looked at the pic. I took 2 other pics just before this one. I also noticed about 30 minutes later an Air Force prop plane flew over the house at a low altitude. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Minnesota Boomerang
Farmington Hills — I was leaving the bowling alley with my husband on June 2, 2018. I observed an extremely large “V” shaped UFO traveling southwest at an alarming rate of speed. From my viewpoint and the altitude of the object, I estimate it to be 50-100 times larger than a modern sized airplane. The object had seven lights-three on each line of the “V” and one light where the lines intersect. The lights were white and dim and in sync.
The object was moving at a rapid rate of speed (I only observed it for 8-10 seconds before I lost sight of it). The object was completely silent. I observed the underside of the object that was black except for the seven lights. I observed this object on June 2, 2018 at 11:55 PM. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Missouri Object
While flying in American Airlines flight 3996 IAH -Houston to ORD -Chicago, on June 1, 2018 about halfway through flight (Missouri ?) was photographing storm anvils for use as desktop wallpaper. Our flight was at about 38,000 feet. Immediately after taking 3 pictures in about 10 seconds, craft appeared suddenly to the east of flight path at about 50,000 feet like Star Trek “de-cloaking” scene. Immediately took another photo including the craft. 3 seconds later craft went ballistic to the south and ascending very fast. From stationary to like light speed disappearance up and reverse of our flight path which would be south. Craft had a triangular shape to it and must have been very large.
After shooting it I lowered the camera phone to observe and it suddenly went light speed ballistic up and reverse of our path. I was a small craft pilot in my youth and worked at NASA for many years at JSC in Houston so have a fairly good experience base with things that fly.
New York Lights
Large light flies to left and reverses course increasing then decreasing brightness of light.
If this video cannot be viewed on mufons site Youtube search shawbrosfan. It will take you to ufos over ny the video is there also
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Ohio Light
Cincinnati — Walked outside of house looked up ‘and saw a light case move in and out.
In the same spot I have seen other strange lights before.
Picture was taken on May 29, 2018
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Washington Orb
Woodland — Tic-tac, glowing orb, black hole, (wormhole.) something coming out of wormhole, orb materializing off to the left of junipers on April 2, 2018 and then moving past the trees. Some jets were flying so fast that I grabbed my phone and started taking pictures. I personally didn’t see anything but the military planes until I looked at the photos and blew them up. These pics are not doctored in any way. You are most welcomed to verify. my Facebook page Tom Julian photos are @ bottom of page. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Worldwide UFO Sightings
Australia Object
All I have to do is go outside and start snapping pictures on February 26, 2018. I’ve had other things happen to me that are unexplainable as well. Being able to get footage is the best I could do. I’m upgrading from a ph camera to Cannon mk 4 with plenty of extras.. That way I can get some epic footage.
Thanks to MUFON CMS
Canada Lights
While filming the same object again that I had reported (case #92331), a light caught my eye so I started filming it. It changed shape multiple times and upon review of video at the 5:56 mark, I noticed it had changed direction and seemed to be heading back toward me. At one point during this sighting, I felt a buzzing and weightlessness for about 10 seconds. Thanks to MUFON CMS
Japan UFO Teenager
A teenager in Japan has become something of a sensation on the country’s social media sites due to his purported ability to communicate with UFOs. Haruya Ido has been dubbed ‘UFO Boy’ by the researcher, Toshitaro Yamaguchi, who discovered the young man and his alleged psychic skills. To that end, Yamaguchi told Japanese media that Ido can sense, via telepathy, where a UFO will be and, in turn, photograph the object.
Backing up the UFO researcher’s bold assertion are four images of anomalous objects which were taken by Ido from different locations in Japan over the course of the last year. While the oddities in the photos are not particularly spectacular, if they were truly all captured by the same witness, it does make one wonder if there is a connection between the boy and the phenomenon. For his part, Yamachuchi likened Ido’s ability to “shamanism” and the teen’s story have gone viral on Japanese social media.
Remarkably, the veteran UFO researcher said that such ‘UFO boys’ are not altogether rare phenomenon as, in the past, other youngsters have been said to boast the same ability to communicate with craft. However, Ido is the first to appear on the scene in quite some time, which Yamaguchi hopes is a promising sign for the future, since, at 70 years old, he’s uncertain how much longer he can chase the phenomenon. Perhaps the teen can alleviate those concerns by conjuring a craft in the sky for him.
Netherlands Triangle
Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel – I noticed a bright white flash in the sky near the star Arcturus. I don’t know if this event is related to my sighting, but when I looked in the direction of the star to see if another flash would appear I suddenly noticed a very big triangular shaped flying object traveling at high speed across the sky. It looked to be flying quite low, at the height of a small passenger plane. The triangle was black with orange-red lights at each corner at the bottom. The lights were not very bright and the shape of the object was faintly visible. the object did block the light of the stars above the triangle that was traveling south at 00:30 pm on May 21, 2018. after seeing it for a few seconds it disappeared from sight behind some houses. There really are unidentified flying objects in the sky.” Thanks to MUFON CMS
UK/England Object
Leamington Spa, Warwicksh — I was in the sunshine next to my touring caravan at Harbury Fields Caravan Park, on June 2, 2018. I was observing and photographing local aircraft passing overhead. I noticed what looked like a bright star in a northerly direction, in a clear blue sky. Pointed my Nikon D7200 with a 150-600mm lens at the object and saw more than one bright light, plus a shape. Took several Photo’s over the next 15 minutes and then the object was gone. The object appeared to be rotating but not moving in any direction with no trail so I discounted it to be a meteor or space debris. The object did look to get brighter, with the naked eye and then dimmer before it disappeared. I had never seen anything like it before so checked the internet for space debris. NASA said space debris was not expected that day. During my observation, the object did appear to change shape. Thanks to MUFON CMS

Big galaxies suck — and no, I’m not being rude. I just mean that they absorb other, smaller galaxies when they run into each other, like a cannibalistic version of bumper cars. It’s how they survive. But some galaxies manage to avoid collisions, and one in a thousand keep all their properties from formation intact. Now, researchers have found one of those oldies, also called a relic galaxy, in our cosmic neighborhood.
Its name is NGC 1277. It has a “million million” stars. It’s at the center of the Perseus cluster, the biggest concentration of galaxies near the Milky Way, which is about 225 million lightyears away from us. In other words, it would take the Millennium Falcon 27 years to get there, if Han Solo was piloting. That seems really far — especially since we can’t travel in hyperspace yet — but it’s actually relatively close.
Best of all, we can affectionately refer to NGC 1277 as a “red nugget” galaxy,thanks to its un-evolved, high-redshift color distribution. NGC 1277 looks the same as it did 12 billion years ago (for context, the universe has only been around for about 13.8 billion years). It’s the fully intact Tyrannosaurus skeleton of the universe.
See that lil' pancake? That's our girl.
Researchers Michael Beasley and Ignacio Trujillo of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and the University of La Laguna were able to confirm the relic status of NGC 1277 by studying its globular clusters with the Hubble Space Telescope. What they saw was a massive expanse of — you guessed it — red.
Globular clusters are groups of stars formed at the birth of a galaxy that orbit its outskirts. Red clusters are composed of more heavy elements than helium and orbit closer to the galaxy’s center. Blue clusters have fewer metals and are seen only as a result of galactic collisions. NGC 1277 only has red clusters, the largest galaxy of its size to have been observed without them.
That means every star formed in NGC 1277 was formed within 100 million years of its birth, within the first billion years of the universe’s existence. The Milky Way’s rate of one star a year pales in comparison to NGC 1277’s 1,000 stars a year. This makes for a perfect opportunity to study a vast galaxy that remains basically unchanged since the dawn of everything.
So, how did NGC 1277 last all these billions of years without accumulating blue clusters? Beasley and Trujillo think that NGC 1277 formed as a satellite to the central galaxy of the Perseus cluster, which absorbed any material that could have impacted its satellite. Now, NGC 1277 still orbits that central galaxy, at 1,000 kilometers a second. Beasley and Trujillo are hoping to observe more global clusters with the Hubble to find even more relic galaxies.
According to previous calculations by astronomers, one in every thousand massive galaxies is a relic of the early universe. It’s an almost esoteric term that describes a galaxy whose properties are still largely the same as when it formed billions of years ago. Now, scientists say they’ve finally identified one for the first time.
Researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL) used ground-based telescopes to study NGC 1277, a galaxy located 225 million light-years away, in the heart of the Perseus Cluster — the largest concentration of galaxies close to the Milky Way.
Their initial observations suggested something odd about the globular clusters surrounding NGC 1277. Globular clusters are spherical collections of ancient stars, formed at the same time as the galaxy, that orbit the galactic core as a satellite. Scientists class globular clusters in two distinct groups: red globular clusters, which are formed in massive galaxies nearer to their centers, and blue ones, which are found more toward the outskirts of the galaxy. Red globular clusters have a higher concentration of heavier elements (hence the color), while blue ones have a lower fraction of metals.
When the researchers pointed the Hubble Space Telescope towards the globular clusters surrounding NGC 1277, they struck gold. The observation revealed that the galaxy only has only red globular clusters, which have remained unchanged since they were formed many millions of years ago along with the galaxy.
“Globular cluster systems are very sensitive to the history of galaxy formation” explained Michael Beasley, the first author of the article and a researcher at Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), who said that “this is the first time a galaxy so massive has been observed with so few blue globular clusters.”
NGC 1277 is composed of a thousand billion stars, and its relatively close proximity to Earth provided an excellent opportunity to find a rare wonder of the cosmos. “The galaxy NGC 1277 gives us a unique opportunity to study a “primitive” galaxy in the “local” universe” adds Ignacio Trujillo, another of the article’s authors.

According to the researchers, when the galaxy formed, it used to birth stars at a rate of 1,000 per year, whilst the Milky Way is currently forming only one star per year. The team believes that the reason why the galaxy has remained unchanged during all this time, retaining its original form and composition, is because it formed as a satellite to the central galaxy of the Perseus cluster. Since the cluster absorbed most of the material that could have fallen into NGC 1277, this dynamic has caused the relic galaxy to evolve differently.
“We argue that the colour distribution of the cluster system of NGC 1277 indicates that the galaxy has undergone little (if any) mass accretion after its initial collapse, and use simulations of possible merger histories to show that the stellar mass due to accretion is probably at most ten percent of the total stellar mass of the galaxy. These results confirm that NGC 1277 is a genuine relic galaxy and demonstrate that blue clusters constitute an accreted population in present-day massive galaxies,” the authors wrote in the journal Nature.
The authors hope to find more relic galaxies in the future using the Hubble Space Telescope and its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope.

Researchers have discovered an enormous body of interstellar dust that predates the formation of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago. The findings might revolutionize our understanding of how the solar system came to be, as well as all other planetary bodies.

It sounds unbelievable, but some of the original interstellar dust that went to form the sun, Earth, and all the other planets in the solar system can be still be found floating around in our neighborhood, even hitting our atmosphere from time to time. Presolar dust particles can no longer be found in the inner solar system, as it was long ago destroyed, reformed, and reaggregated in multiple phases. However, presolar dust can still be found in the outer solar system, specifically in some comets.
When these comets pass close enough to the sun, they release presolar dust that can reach Earth’s orbit and settle through the atmosphere, where it can be collected and later studied. Dr. Hope Ishii of the University of Hawai’i at Manoa and her colleagues used electron microscopy to study such dust particles, as well as data gathered from the Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) aboard the Cassini Saturn orbiter during its two-decade mission.
The presolar dust particles in question are actually called GEMS – or ‘glass embedded with metal and sulfide’. They’re less than one hundredth the width of a human hair in diameter and contain a variety of carbon known to decompose when exposed to even relatively gentle heating.

Ishii and colleagues write that the GEMS likely formed in the interstellar medium due to grain shattering, amorphization, and erosion from supernovae shocks, then later went through subsequent periods of aggregation. Irradiation likely provided enough energy for the amorphous silicates which comprise the dust to absorb small amounts of metal atoms, the authors reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“With repeated cycling in and out of cold molecular clouds, mantled dust and any aggregates were repeatedly and progressively partially destroyed and reformed. Cassini mission data suggest the presence of iron metal in contemporary interstellar dust,” the researchers wrote in their study.
This first generation of GEMS aggregated with crystalline grains that were likely transported from the hot inner-solar nebula, creating second-generation aggregates. Later this 2nd generation of aggregates was likely incorporated into small, icy cometary bodies.
The researchers concluded that the grains they studied represent surviving pre-solar interstellar dust that formed the very building blocks of planets and stars. As such, they provide unique insight into a pre-solar system environment, ultimately telling us how our planet and others like it came to be. We only have a rough picture of how our solar system formed from a huge disk of dust and gas, and these little grains could be the missing pieces that complete the puzzle. In the future, the researchers plan on collecting more comet dust, particularly that sourced from more well-protected comets that pass by the sun.
This global map of Mars shows a growing dust storm as of June 6, 2018. The map was produced by the Mars Color Imager (MARCI) camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft. The blue dot indicates the approximate location of Opportunity. Image and caption credits NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS.
On Sunday morning, NASA received a transmission from the Opportunity rover. Usually, that’s not really out of its character — but the bot is currently braving a massive sandstorm on the Red Planet. The rover hailed home to let ground control know it still has enough juice in its battery to maintain communications, according to NASA. Science operations, however, remain suspended in a bid to conserve energy.
Oppy phone home
The transmission was a welcome break for NASA engineers, as the dust storm has been steadily picking up steam in the past few days. The rover is weathering it out in Perseverance Valley, shrouded in perpetual night. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter first detected the storm on Friday, June 1. The rover team began preparing contingency plans soon afterward.
It’s not the first such storm Opportunity had to face — it braved another in 2007. This event, however, is much worse than the last one. The storm’s atmospheric opacity (how much light it blocks) has been estimated at 10.8 tau as of Sunday morning — the 2007 storm only reached about 5.5 tau. This is roughly equivalent to the incredible smogs we’ve seen in China. Because of this, the bot cannot use its solar panels to recharge.
The storm has grown to over 18 million square kilometers (7 million square miles) since its detection. Such storms aren’t extreme for Mars, but they are infrequent. NASA doesn’t yet fully understand how they form or build in strength, but they seem to be self-reinforcing — a feedback loop that amplifies itself as it grows. Such storms can last up to several months at a time.
This dust blanket could be what makes or breaks Opportunity’s resolve.
Dusty but not yet dead
You could say it’s an Opportunity to show what you’re made of, little rover! Image credits NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell Univ./Arizona State Univ.
I say that because the dust is both a boon and a curse for Opportunity as of now. The rover’s main problems are that it cannot recharge (its solar panels are dusted over, and there’s not enough sunlight) and that communication with ground control is spotty at best (radio signals can’t pierce through the storm).
But the dust also hides a silver lining. Data beamed back by the rover shows its internal temperature is roughly stable at about minus 29 degrees Celsius (minus 20 Fahrenheit). The dust storm — which retains heat — seems to be insulating Opportunity from the extreme temperature swings on Mars’ surface. It’s not an ideal temperature by any means, but it’s still not as bad as it could get.
The team’s worst fears right now is that if the rover experiences cold temperatures for too long, it might damage its batteries. This fate befell Spirit, Opportunity’s twin craft in the Mars Exploration Rover mission, in 2010. Engineers plan to use the network to monitor and administer the rover’s energy levels in the following weeks — they need to somehow save as much battery charge as possible while keeping the rover from getting too cold. It has onboard heaters for this purpose, but they drain a lot of energy. One idea the team is considering is activating other equipment to expel energy, which would heat up the bot.
Science operations have been temporarily put on hold for sunnier days. Mission control has requested additional coverage from NASA’s Deep Space Network, a global system of antennas that talks to all the agency’s deep space probes, in an effort to maintain contact with Opportunity.
But I wouldn’t count Opportunity out just yet. It has proved its mettle aplenty in the past. Not only has it gone through dust storms before, but it made it with surprising gusto — the rover has accrued 15 years in the line of duty despite only being intended to last 90 days.
So hang in there little buddy, and don’t let the cold bite your batteries.
If we were to travel back in time to a much earlier time in Earth’s history—let’s say one million years before the present day—we might be surprised to see how different things were long ago. Of course, our planet looked very different, as did the varieties of life that lived on it in ancient times. However, there were other things we would notice if we traveled back to this world of the distant past, such as the length of each day on our planet: one million years ago, a typical day lasted only 18 hours.
What would have caused the days of long ago to have been so much shorter? It actually had to do with a phenomenon that is still occurring today, and one that is causing days over the slow passage of time to get longer and longer.
According to new research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the fact that the moon has slowly been moving further away from the Earth has caused our planet’s rotation to slow down gradually over time. The result of Earth’s spin slowing down, of course, has been lengthier days.
All objects in space exert gravitational influence over one another, in relation to their proximity. The same can be said of all the objects in our solar system, ranging from our sun to the constituent planets each of their moons.
For the study, researchers relied on the science of astrochronology, a process that gauges the age of soil deposits and other sedimentary features astronomically, often in relation to precession—a key factor in what are called Milankovitch cycles—or other astronomical data. With the help of this process, researchers aimed to learn valuable geological about the ancient past, which would produce data nearly as reliable as that which can be studied in the present day.
In the early 20th century, Serbian Mathematician Milutin Milankovitch calculated the periodicity of glacial periods on Earth using information from geological proxies. He determined that the likely governing factors included variations in the shape of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun (eccentricity), as well as its precession, and the Earth’s axial tilt.
Milutin Milankovitch
According to the researchers, “beyond about 1.5 billion years ago, the moon would have been close enough that its gravitational interactions with the Earth would have ripped the moon apart.” Earth possess only one natural satellite, while other planets, such as Mars or Jupiter, have numerous satellites in orbit around them, which are often visible from Earth with the visual aid of a telescope. However, Earth’s moon has played a key role in many of the natural forces at play on our planet over the course of the 4.53 billion years since it was formed.
Combining geological data collected via astrochronological processes with statistical data, the study’s authors were able to gauge periods of “maximum volatility” in the ancient past, partially by focusing on what were known as grapoloids, an extinct form of marine invertebrate once a major zooplankton species during the Early Paleozoic.
“We infer that these cycles influenced graptolite speciation and extinction through climate-driven changes to oceanic circulation and structure,” the study’s authors note. “Our results confirm the existence of Milankovitch grand cycles in the Early Paleozoic Era and show that known processes related to the mechanics of the Solar System were shaping marine macroevolutionary rates comparatively early in the history of complex life.”
Another key focus of the study was a 1.4 billion-year-old area in Northern China known as the Xiamaling Formation, as well as 55 million-year-old proxy samples from Walvis Ridge, a deep ocean feature located in the southern Atlantic. Results of the study revealed variations in the direction of the Earth’s axis of rotation (precession), as well as changes in rotational features over time. This data was used to reliably determine that days on Earth during these earlier periods were much shorter when compared with today, since the distance between Earth and the moon is greater now than it was during the Paleozoic Era.
There are times where the remarkable unity between separate scientific disciplines, and their complementary nature to one another, becomes simply fascinating. Here, we learn about ancient astronomy from the study of geology, though it can be said to some degree that the same applies in reverse as well, ever-broadening our overall understanding of geological deep time. The study, titled “Pacing of Paleozoic macroevolutionary rates by Milankovitch grand cycles,” was co-authored by James S. Crampton, Stephen R. Meyers, Roger A. Cooper, Peter M. Sadler, Michael Foote, and David Harte.

Is anyone even paying attention to the skies anymore? Think about it: when is the last time you stared at the stars or spent a few idle minutes just watching the clouds roll by? Maybe that’s one of the reasons social media and smartphones exist – to keep us staring down at our hands as opposed to noticing the many mysterious phenomena occurring above our heads lately. UFO sightings are one thing, but between the many unexplained mystery booms being heard and felt nationwide, all manners of secretive satellite activity, and unmarked aircraft circling American cities, there’s enough man-made weirdness in the skies to suggest some sort of shadowy activity is afoot overheard.
Space War 2020: coming soon to a low Earth orbit near you.
The latest unexplained aerospace mystery comes out of Oak Harbor, Washington where high-definition weather cameras captured a true-to-life unidentified flying object on camera. This one, however, clearly has a terrestrial origin – although nobody seems to want to claim responsibility.
The weather cameras captured two images of what appears to be a missile or rocket launching from the northern end of the Kitsap Peninsula near Hansville, not far from the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. You might remember that air station from last year when fighter pilots created a skydrawing of a giant phallus in the skies above Washington The footage was captured by Greg Johnson, who runs the Skunk Bay Weather website. Johnson quickly posted the footage to Facebook, writing that neither the nearby Naval Air Station Whidbey Island nor the Department of Defense claimed responsibility for the launch.
Naval Air Station Whidbey Island
Local news outlets in the Pacific Northwest have reached out for comment, but so far nobody is offering any answers. Is this merely a classified military launch, or is something far more secretive going on here? These so-called “black” rocket launches seem to be becoming more common over the last year, with everyone from SpaceX to the good ol’ fashion Soviet Union Russia joining in on the clandestine-but-quite-visible fun without offering any explanations. Don’t we have a right to know what’s going on above our heads?
THE ERIDANUS VOID: A MEGAMASSIVE BLACK HOLE ONE-BILLION LIGHT YEARSACROSS
THE ERIDANUS VOID: A MEGAMASSIVE BLACK HOLE ONE-BILLION LIGHT YEARSACROSS
The apparent development of a large void of some billion light-years in diameter in the Constellation Eridanus appears to be improbable given current cosmological models. A radical and controversial theory proposes that it is a “universe-in-mass black hole” rather than hypothetical dark matter responsible for the phenomenon described as the expanding-accelerating universe. This radical theory of cosmology suggests that stars at the edge of the Hubble length universe are being consumed by a universe-in-mass black hole.
In August of 2007, astronomers at the University of Minnesota located a gigantic hole in the universe. This empty space, stretching nearly a billion light-years across, is devoid of any matter such as galaxies, stars, and gas, and neither does it contain the strange and mysterious dark matter, which can be detected but not seen.
Empty places in the universe are not uncommon. It is already known that matter tends to clump and form stars and galaxies, clusters and superclusters, due to the pulling force of gravity. So astronomers have already seen places in the universe where there are groups of matter and places where matter is more scarce. But this new discovery is much larger than any previously known “hole”.
“Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even expected to find one this size,” explains Lawrence Rudnick of the University of Minnesota. Rudnick was one of the researchers to find the hole.
Rudnick and his team studied data from a survey of the entire sky imaged by the Very Large Array radio telescope. A map of this area of the sky was already known to be an anomaly. It had been called a “cold spot” after a satellite that charts the cosmic microwave background radiation discovered it was less warm than its surroundings. (Overall the cosmic microwave background radiation is exceptionally cold, and the difference seen was only in millionths of a degree.)
The area of sky in which the hole exists lies in the direction of the constellation Eridanus. Eridanus is the constellation of the River, and can be found winding below Taurus and Cetus.
But the hole is not a part of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, which is a remnant of the Big Bang. The hole lies between six to 10 billion light-years away. The cold spot is a result of the CMB radition passing through this blank area on its way to Earth. Supporters of the standard model Big Bang theory say the region is colder because of dark energy.
“The Eridanus black hole sits like a giant black spider in an ocean of nothingness, having swallowed up all surrounding galaxies, gas, and light, ...
Dark energy, which has yet to be verified, can be seen as the opposite of gravity. While gravity pulls matter together, dark energy is what is causing the universe to expand, and at an ever-increasing rate. When the radiation from the Big Bang passed through this void in the universe, it had less energy than the radiation that passed through normal regions of space. In a simplistic explanation, the radiation is given a boost when it nears the pull of matter such as galaxies, and dark energy allows the radiation to propel away from these areas without losing the boost when gravity would pull it back. The radiation passing through the empty space does not get the boost and the energy, therefore it is slightly colder.
A contrary theory proposed in The Journal of Cosmology suggests that our observable universe orbits a super-supermassive hole just as the stars of entire galaxies orbit and eventually are swallowed by the supermassive black holes at their center. Like the stars closest to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy which have a greater velocity than stars on the outer arms (where the Earth is located), stars at the edge of our known, Hubble-length universe, orbit one of these “universe-in-mass holes” at a greater velocity than those stars further away thus effecting the red shift and dimness of light and creating the illusion the universe is accelerating and exanding.
The illusion of an “accelerating universe” is due to the gravitational effects of a universe-in-mass black hole at the edge of our Hubble length universe. Stars closest to the hole accelerate to their doom.
Galaxies, stars, planets, moons, molecules, atoms, and so on, are continually recreated and destroyed, and matter and energy, including hydrogen atoms, are continually recycled and reassembled via activities associated with “black holes” also known as graviton-holes, gravity holes, super massive black holes, galaxy-in-mass gravity holes, and universe-in-mass gravity holes, depending on their size and gravity-mass.
In an infinite universe, these galaxy-in-mass black holes become more massive yet and eventually consume all the galaxies which have been caught up by its increasing gravitational grip . Once all surrounding galaxies have been consumed, all that is left is a void, a galaxy-in-mass gravity-hole in the fabric of space-time surrounded by eternal night and empty space.
The billion-light-years across “Eridanus black hole” is typical of black holes which have the gravity-mass of millions of entire galaxies. The Eridanus black hole sits like a giant black spider in an ocean of nothingness, having swallowed up all surrounding galaxies, gas, and light, including radiation from the Cosmic Microwave Background.
Based on an analysis of the NRAO VLA Sky Survey data, Rudnick and his team in fact discovered that there was a significant and rather remarkable absence of galaxies even in the distant space surrounding this hole, in the constellation of Eridanus. Thus, the billion-light-years across “Eridnus black hole” must have consumed the gravity-mass of millions of entire galaxies all of which have been collapsed and concentrated into the singularity of this super-galactic hole.
The billion-light-years across “Eridanus black hole” should not be considered unique or as something abnormally large. There appears to be a gravity-hole which may contain the collective mass of all the galaxies which populate a Hubble length universe and which sits just outside our known Hubble length universe; that is, just beyond that region of space which can be observed.
Elsewhere, Is the he VIRGOHI21 black hole an example of what happens when the gravitional mass of an entire galaxy comes to be bound up in the singularity of a single black hole which becomes a galactic orphan devoid of any stars but which would then begin to draw distant galaxies toward it? Stars and entire galaxies are recycled. Stars grow old and die, becoming white dwarfs, brown dwarfs and black holes (Hawking 1990), all of which eventually, in an infinite universe, are swallowed by the supermassive black hole at the galactic center which becomes even more massive in size until all stars, young and old, within its galaxy, disappear inside.
VIRGOHI21 has swallowed all the stars of its galaxy and has the gravity of an entire galaxy, an estimated total mass of about 1/10th the Milky Way, ten times more dark matter than ordinary matter, and is surrounded by vast clouds of hydrogen. Because of its galaxy-in-mass gravity, VIRGOHI21 has pulled up to 2000 galaxies toward it, creating the Virgo Cluster.
More recently, in March 2009, astronomers using the the 1.2-metre UK Schmidt Telescope in Australia published a paper which revealed the discovery of an even larger, 3.5- billion-year-wide void while undertaking the Six Degree Field Galaxy Survey in the southern hemisphere. Enormous cosmic voids and giant concentrations of matter have been observed in a new galaxy survey, one of the biggest completed so far. One of the voids is so large that it is difficult to explain where it came from.
Scientists are still analysing the new map, but a few features stand out immediately. The biggest concentration of matter seen by the survey is a previously known giant pileup of galaxies called the Shapley supercluster, which lies about 600 million light years from Earth.
The survey also found some enormous voids – regions of space that are relatively empty, including one that is about 3.5 billion light years across.
“This is as big as I’ve ever seen,” survey team member John Huchra of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics told New Scientist.
