Kan een afbeelding zijn van hond

Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    SCIENTISTS EXPLORE 3D BIOPRINTING TO TREAT ASTRONAUTS ON EXTRATERRESTRIAL MISSIONS

    At the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in The Netherlands, a two-day workshop on 3D bioprinting was held. The ESTEC is European Space Agencys (ESA) primary research and test center for space technology. 

    The event brought together bioprinting experts to discuss the possibility of using 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine for medical treatment of astronauts on extraterrestrial missions.

    Tommaso Ghidini, ESA’s Head of the Structures, Mechanisms and Materials Division, said, “For the first time in Europe, all the relevant experts have come together to discuss applying 3D bioprinting and regenerative medicine for space.”

    HUMEX

    ESA’s latest project 3D Printing of Living Tissue for Space Exploration will be conducted under OHB System, a German space and industrial technology company, who has worked with ESA beforeDresden University of Technology will also collaborate on the project. The project will be funded under ESA basic activities, which includes technological research and studies on future projects.

    The project is not the first attempt by ESA to explore viable interplanetary habitat options. In 2000, the agency sponsored the HUMEX study, also known as a Study on the Survivability and Adaptation of Humans to Long-Duration Exploratory Missions.

    HUMEX study focuses on the health-related issues including survivability and adaptation of astronauts undertaking long-duration mission beyond the Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The LEO is defined as an Earth-center orbit with altitudes between 160 to 2,000 km. Most of the man-made objects such as satellites are in the LEO.

    The study reports the effects of cosmic radiation, reduced gravity on Mars and Moon, gravity changes during launch, and related psychological health issuesThe findings of HUMEX are a guide for ESA researchers taking part in future projects related to interplanetary travel and habitat.

    3D bioprinting in space

    3D bioprinting has made its mark in the field of medicine. The technology has been used to bioprint ligament and tendons from stem cellsstudy diseases like Alzheimer’s, and for 3D printing scaffolds in regenerative medicine.  

    In our ‘The Future of 3D printing’ series guest article, Professor Gordon Wallace also talked about 3D bioprinting stem cells, and what the technology will be like in 2022.

    The latest ESA project intends to advance 3D bioprinting to the level where it becomes possible to 3D print skin, bones and organs.

    However, the issues highlighted in HUMEX are complicated, and space beyond Earth is alien and hostile and presents different challenges. As Sandra Podhajsky, a researcher from OHB System’s Life Sciences explained, “Compared to today’s low-Earth-orbiting crews, long distance missions to far away destinations will face very different challenges.”

    For example, some of the space mission scenarios sketched in the HUMEX study include, one hundred and eighty days stay on the Moon with a crew size of four. A thousand-day long mission to Mars, of which four hundred days will be spent on the red planet. And a five hundred day trip to Mars of which thirty days will be spent on the planet.

    Tackling problems of beyond-Earth 3D bioprinting

    In view of the scenarios mentioned in the HUMEX study, getting medical attention to the traveling crew is nearly impossible. As Podhajsky explained, “In the event of a medical emergency a rapid return home will not be feasible. Instead, patients will have to be treated on the spot. Thus we are evaluating the feasibility and added value of implementing different 3D printing technologies and bioprinted tissues into future exploration missions.”

    Another problem is performing medical surgery, as access to equipment and personnel will not be handy in space. Telemedicine, i.e. communication of medical instructions via IT and telecommunications technology, will not be possible due to the communication delay on deep space mssions.

    To overcome this difficulty, a possible solution which employs robotic surgeons equipped with Artificial Intelligence was discussed, at the two-day workshop.

    Furthermore, beyond the scientific and technological aspect, legal and regulatory issues were also explored. Bioprinting products will need to be controlled by regulatory bodies, like the American FDA, as well as space regulation bodies.

    Tommaso Ghidini explained,  “We’re asking what astronauts would need in the short, medium and long term, and what steps are needed to mature 3D bioprinting to a level where it can be useful in space. We’re defining a development roadmap and timeline, with the aim that this group becomes a scientific working group in future, pushing progress on.”

    Strange Castle-Like Structure Emerges In Antarctica – Proof Of Advanced Ancient Civilization?

    Strange Castle-Like Structure Emerges In Antarctica – Proof Of Advanced Ancient Civilization?

    An enormous castle structure revealed itself in Antarctica, striking immediate opinions that the icy continent was once a homeland to an ancient civilization.

    The image of the castle taken from Google Earth depicts an oval-shaped formation. Theorists have estimated it measures around 400 foot across.

    This structure appears to show signs of a tremendous, man-made building, similar to a medieval motte and bailey castle.

    If we observe the image carefully, we can notice how the rings of the structure look like a man-made structure in ruins, covered with ice and snow.

    If it’s not a product of mother nature, then who created this castle? This question does not provide an answer since the structure locates in the only place on Earth where people can’t seem to form a life.

    The picture shows an oval-shaped structure that theorists claim to be 400 foot across. 

    It wasn’t a surprise that people quickly started debating whether an ancient civilization once lived here. On the other hand, there were others who claim the castle is only a natural phenomenon.

    But, whether this enigmatic construction is, it is still quite remarkable and engaging.

    What if, in the distant past, Antarctica was not the picture we see today, but something rather the opposite.

    Perhaps it had civilization developing over there, building structures just like this one. And we are encountering evidence of it as the time goes by.

    Besides this castle, there appeared several ancient maps that painted some Antarctica parts iceless.

    One of them was the 1513’s map by Turkish Admiral Piri Reis. Namely, this map shows Antarctica which was in fact discovered between 1818-1820. Weird, huh?

    Recently, modern beliefs have pushed down the aisle mainstream scholars. People increasingly believe that ancient civilizations were much more advanced than we think.

    Several maps discovered in the past are evidence that the story we know lacks some important parts.

    Maybe these ancient maps, together with satellite images of our planet are the ultimate proof that civilizations could have lived in the most desolate places on our planet in the distant past.

    Experts explained the reason to be a natural cause. They said it’s an ice structure, built by the heavy snowfall, low temperature, and Antarctica’s freezing katabatic wind.

    Experts believe that what satellites spotted over Eastern Antarctica may be weirdly-shaped Sastrugi – sharp irregular grooves formed on a snow surface by wind erosion.

    However, sastrugi always appear in a different shape, depending on the wind’s direction. They very rarely emerge as an oval formation, as the image appears to depict.

    This fort-like structure is not the first discovery to suggest issues about ancient civilizations living in Antarctica. There was also a pyramid, hidden inside the snow, which had a triangular, symmetrical shape.

    Toen ik 10 jaar oud was landde er een vliegende schotel voor ons huis. Actrice doet heftig boekje open

    De Fins-Italiaanse actrice Anna Falchi heeft op de radio een boekje opengedaan over UFO’s die ze als kind heeft gezien.

    Falchi is erg bekend in Italië en speelde in de afgelopen 25 jaar in diverse films. De actrice kwam naar eigen zeggen als kind in aanraking met het UFO-fenomeen, schrijft de Italiaanse krant Il Messaggero.

    Tijdens een programma op de zender Rai Radio 1 zei ze: “Toen ik 10 jaar oud was zag ik twee jaar op rij UFO’s. Ik herinner het me nog goed.”

    Mist

    Ze legde uit dat de objecten iedere keer in de vakantie verschenen.

    Falchi zei dat ze de eerste keer vliegende schotels zag die tevoorschijn kwamen ‘uit de mist’ en vervolgens wegvlogen.

    De vaartuigen kwamen een jaar later terug.

    “Een vliegende schotel landde in een weiland voor ons huis,” zei ze in de radio-uitzending.

    Patronen

    Ze vertelde dat het object vier landingspoten had, omgeven was door een rood licht en een geluid voortbracht zoals een sirene.

    Haar familieleden werden wakker van het lawaai, maar besloten zich te verstoppen.

    De dag erna besloten ze het weiland te inspecteren en tot hun verbazing zagen ze ‘van die bekende patronen’. Vermoedelijk bedoelde ze hier graancirkels of iets soortgelijks.

    Intelligent leven

    Falchi merkte op dat het niet noodzakelijkerwijs aliens waren, maar dat het ‘ook iets kon zijn geweest wat door bijvoorbeeld de NASA werd getest’.

    Ze is ervan overtuigd dat er intelligent leven elders in het heelal is.

    Zijn we wel écht op de maan geweest? Deze NBA-ster zegt van niet

    Zijn we wel écht op de maan geweest? Deze NBA-ster zegt van niet

    Stephen Curry, die vorig jaar de best betaalde NBA-speler ooit was, gelooft niet dat we op de maan zijn geweest.

    In de podcast Winging It ging het op een bepaald moment over de vraag hoe wetenschappers weten welke geluiden dinosaurussen maakten, aangezien we alleen maar fossielen hebben.

    Daarop vroeg de sterspeler van de Golden State Warriors: “Zijn we ooit op de maan geweest?”

    Nep

    Waarna meerdere gasten meteen antwoordden: “Nee.”

    “Ik denk ook van niet,” reageerde Curry. “Sorry, ik wil geen com

    plotten beginnen.”

    Toen één van de gasten doorvroeg, zei hij opnieuw dat hij denkt dat de maanlandingen nep waren.

    Tussendoor zei één van de presentatoren dat mensen ‘moeten zoeken naar Stanley Kubrick’, als verwijzing naar een populaire theorie dat de filmregisseur betrokken zou zijn geweest bij de maanhoax.

    Monstercontract

    Curry, sinds 2009 bij de Warriors, werd vorig jaar beloond met een vijfjarig monstercontract ter waarde van 201 miljoen dollar.

    Dat jaar leidde hij de Warriors naar een tweede NBA-titel in de drie jaar.

    MVP

    Hij krijgt voor zijn inspanningen een jaarsalaris van 40 miljoen dollar. Daarmee stootte hij LeBron James van de troon. Begin dit jaar haalde James hem weer in.

    Curry werd in 2015 en 2016 verkozen tot MVP. In 2015 en 2017 kroonde zijn club zich tot kampioen, telkens na een finale tegen de Cleveland Cavaliers.

    De asteroïde Bennu.

    De asteroïde Bennu.
     De Osiris-Rex van NASA heeft sporen van water gevonden op de asteroïde Bennu. Het water zit binnenin de ruimterots. Het ruimtevoertuig vliegt al een paar jaar rond de asteroïde om verkenningen uit te voeren.

    Bij de verkenning werd geen vloeibaar water gevonden, daar is de asteroïde te klein voor, maar wel moleculaire sporen van water. Die zijn mogelijk afkomstig van de grotere asteroïde waar Bennu eerst aan vast zat.

    De onderzoekers zijn enorm blij met de vondst, ze hadden gehoopt dit te zullen vinden. De asteroïde stamt uit de tijd dat ons zonnestelsel is ontstaan. Doordat er water op gevonden is, kunnen de gegevens van het onderzoek veel duidelijk maken over die beginperiode.

    De NASA-missie heeft 2,2 miljoen kilometer afgelegd sinds de lancering in 2016 om bij de asteroïde te komen. Als alles goed gaat keert de missie in 2023 terug met stukken rots van Bennu. De monsters kunnen wetenschappers meer vertellen over het ontstaan van ons zonnestelsel.

    Een nematode (rondworm) in een biofilm van micro-organismen. Dit organisme werd ontdekt in Zuid-Afrika op een diepte van 1,4 kilometer.

     Deep Carbon Observatory Een nematode (rondworm) in een biofilm van micro-organismen. Dit organisme werd ontdekt in Zuid-Afrika op een diepte van 1,4 kilometer.
     Onze planeet bevat veel meer leven dan we dachten. Wetenschappers hebben een ecosysteem ontdekt onder de aardkorst dat bijna dubbel zoveel levende organismen bevat als in alle oceanen samen. “Er zit meer leven ín de aarde dan erop”, luidt het bij de onderzoekers.

    Vijf kilometer onder het aardoppervlak is de hitte en druk immens, en toch bevat dat deel van de planeet tussen 15 en 23 miljard ton aan micro-organismen. Ter vergelijking: hun gezamenlijke gewicht bedraagt honderden keren het totale gewicht van de volledige wereldbevolking.

    We hebben een volledig nieuw levensreservoir ontdekt.

    Karen Lloyd (University of Tennessee)

    De onderzoekers van het Deep Carbon Observatory, een wereldwijde wetenschappelijke organisatie met 1.2000 wetenschappers, zoeken al tien jaar naar levensvormen in de aarde. Ze boorden tot 5 kilometer diep en ontdekten nu dat liefst 70 procent van de bacteriën op de aarde zich onder het oppervlak bevindt. Volgens de wetenschappers is de diversiteit in de ‘onderwereld’ vergelijkbaar met die in de Amazone of op de Galapagoseilanden. Maar in tegenstelling tot die plekken is deze omgeving ongerept.

    Als het leven op aarde zo anders kan zijn dan onze ervaringen ons hebben geleerd, welke levensvormen kunnen we dan vinden op andere planeten?

    Mineraloog Robert Haze (Carnegie Institution of Science)

    Stasis

    Een van de organismen, dat op een diepte van 2,5 kilometer werd ontdekt, ligt al miljoenen jaren begraven en zou zelfs op geen enkele manier beroep doen op energie van de zon. “Sommige organismen kunnen millennia lang blijven bestaan”, zegt Lloyd. “Ze bevinden zich in een soort stasis waarbij ze minder energie verbruiken dan we voor mogelijk achtten.”

    “Wij mensen oriënteren ons volgens een vrij snelle cyclus van de zon, maar deze organismen maken deel uit van trage cycli op geologische tijdschalen”, voegt Rick Colwell van de Oregon State University toe.

    Voorlopig kunnen de wetenschappers de omvang van het ecosysteem enkel schatten. De boringen op verschillende plekken zijn maar speldenprikken die de onderzoekers toelaten de volledige omvang te schatten. “Dankzij de boringen kunnen we nu een vrij precieze schatting maken”, zegt Rick Colwell.

    Leven buiten de aarde?

    Wat betekent deze ontdekking nu voor onze kennis van de aarde? Om te beginnen geeft het ons een nieuw perspectief op de limieten van het leven. Momenteel ligt de limiet voor leven op 122 graden Celsius, maar mogelijk ligt dat record binnenkort al aan diggelen. De onderzoekers zijn op zoek naar een ultieme diepte waarop geen enkel leven meer mogelijk is, maar voorlopig lijken ze alsmaar meer leven te vinden naarmate ze dieper boren.

    Mineraloog Robert Haze van de Carnegie Institution of Science tilt de hele ontdekking naar nog een veel hoger, zelfs existentieel, niveau: “Als het leven op aarde zo anders kan zijn dan onze ervaringen ons hebben geleerd, welke levensvormen kunnen we dan vinden op andere planeten?”

    Colwell denkt ook dat het perfect mogelijk is dat er levende organismen aanwezig zijn onder het oppervlak van andere planeten.  “Zeker nu we op aarde hebben gezien dat organismen ver van zonlicht kunnen overleven.”

    'They Are Watching Us': Ufologists Predict When Aliens Will Return to Earth

    While von Daniken speculated that extraterrestrial beings that visited our planet in the past may already return and are secretly observing us, Tsoukalos claimed that humans need to become "more friendly with each other" in order for space aliens to try and establish contact with mankind.

    During their appearance at the UFO Summit 2018 conference in Brazil, Erich von Daniken and Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, two prominent ufologists and proponents of the ‘ancient astronauts’ theory which postulates that aliens visited Earth in the distant past and interacted with ancient humans, explained to Sputnik when these extraterrestrial entities might return.

    According to Tsoukalos, the aliens didn’t attempt to make an official contact with mankind is that humans need to achieve something first.

    "In my opinion, it is that we, as a society, we need to become more friendly with each other. We really need to start looking at ourselves and say, you know, we are all brothers and sisters on this planet, we really are. And it is up to us to clean up our house, here on Earth. And I think then, after we cleaned up our mess, that’s when they will make contact," Tsoukalos said.

    His sentiment was echoed by von Daniken who claimed that extraterrestrials who allegedly visited our planet in the past promised to “return in the far future, and probably they are back already.”

    "Now, what can we learn from that? We have to learn to become humble. We are not unique. We are not the crown of creation, neither the top of evolution. We are just one of the millions of species in outer space. They will come back. They will teach us again," he remarked.

    Von Daniken also added that numerous suspected UFO sightings suggest that “somebody is around this planet and obviously is observing us, maybe studying our languages, our microbacterias, our weapons, our religious systems, our political systems.”

    "They are watching us," he surmised.

    • The views and opinions expressed by the speaker do not necessarily reflect those of Sputnik.

    Ze houden ons in de gaten. Ufologen voorspellen wanneer aliens terugkeren naar aarde

    Tijdens de UFO Summit 2018 in Brazilië vertelden Erich von Däniken en Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, twee prominente ufologen, wanneer de buitenaardsen volgens hen terugkeren naar onze planeet.

    Von Däniken speculeerde dat buitenaardse wezens die ons in een ver verleden hebben bezocht, mogelijk al teruggekeerd zijn en ons in het geheim observeren.

    Tsoukalos claimde dat mensen ‘aardiger tegen elkaar moeten doen’ voordat ruimtewezens contact kunnen maken met de mensheid.

    Schoon schip

    “Ik ben van mening dat wij als samenleving aardiger tegen elkaar moeten gaan doen,” zei hij.

    “We moeten naar onszelf kijken en erkennen dat we allemaal broers en zussen zijn op deze planeet,” vervolgde hij.

    “Het is aan ons om schoon schip te maken, hier op aarde,” aldus Tsoukalos. “Ik denk dat ze daarna officieel contact zullen maken.”

    Niet uniek

    Von Däniken denkt dat buitenaardsen die onze planeet in het verleden hebben bezocht en beloofden in de toekomst terug te keren, waarschijnlijk al terug zijn.

    “Wat kunnen we hiervan leren? We moeten leren om nederig te zijn. We zijn niet uniek. We zijn niet de kroon van de schepping of het hoogtepunt van de evolutie,” zei hij.

    UFO-waarnemingen

    “We zijn slechts één van de miljoenen soorten in de ruimte. Ze zullen terugkeren. Ze zullen ons opnieuw onderwijzen,” merkte hij op.

    Von Däniken voegde toe dat de grote aantallen UFO-waarnemingen erop wijzen dat ‘iemand ons in de gaten houdt en misschien onze talen, microben, wapens, religies en politieke systemen bestudeert’.

    Waarheid over geheime experimenten rond MK-ULTRA onthuld in sensationele nieuwe documenten. Dit materiaal hield de CIA tientallen jaren verborgen

    Er zijn verontrustende details naar buiten gekomen over geheime experimenten rond hersenspoeling die werden uitgevoerd door de CIA. Decennialang heeft de Amerikaanse overheid geprobeerd documenten hierover te verbergen, meldt The Sun.

    De nieuwe documenten onthullen hoe de spionagedienst met drugs, hypnose en elektrische apparaten experimenteerde op mensen en dieren.

    De experimenten waren onderdeel van het topgeheime, illegale project MK-ULTRA. Volgens experts is het goed mogelijk dat het project nooit is beëindigd.

    Geheugenverlies

    Eén van de stukken onthult hoe de CIA met drugs experimenteerde op gevangenen die in afwachting waren van hun proces.

    Uit een ander document blijkt dat de spionagedienst methodes uitwerkte om geheugenverlies te veroorzaken bij mensen.

    De CIA werkte verder aan spraaktechnieken die konden worden gebruikt om een grote mensenmassa te hersenspoelen en mensen ontvankelijker te maken voor bepaalde boodschappen.

    Volledig herschrijven

    De dienst was vooral geïnteresseerd in experimenten die normaal gesproken ‘te gevaarlijk, te schokkend of te ongewoon’ werden geacht, aldus een memo uit 1956.

    De stukken zijn boven water gehaald door John Greenewald en op zijn website The Black Vaultgepubliceerd.

    Greenewald, die al sinds 1999 probeerde om inzage te krijgen in de documenten, zei dat ze ‘de geschiedenis van het controversiële project volledig herschrijven’.

    Topje van de ijsberg

    “Probeert de CIA nog altijd projecten in de doofpot te stoppen die in de jaren vijftig en zestig hebben plaatsgevonden? Ja,” zei hij.

    Volgens Greenewald is MK-ULTRA slechts het topje van de ijsberg en zijn er nog veel meer van dit soort geheime projecten rond hersenspoeling en manipulatie.

    NASA: Earth’s Poles Are About To Flip – Worldwide Blackouts Coming! The Consequences Could Be Deadly

    Scientists understand that Earth’s magnetic field has flipped its polarity many times over the millennia. In other words, if you were alive about 800,000 years ago, and facing what we call north with a magnetic compass in your hand, the needle would point to ‘south.’ This is because a magnetic compass is calibrated based on Earth’s poles. The N-S markings of a compass would be 180 degrees wrong if the polarity of today’s magnetic field were reversed. Many doomsday theorists have tried to take this natural geological occurrence and suggest it could lead to Earth’s destruction. But would there be any dramatic effects? The answer, from the geologic and fossil records we have from hundreds of past magnetic polarity reversals, seems to be ‘no.’

    Reversals are the rule, not the exception. Earth has settled in the last 20 million years into a pattern of a pole reversal about every 200,000 to 300,000 years, although it has been more than twice that long since the last reversal. A reversal happens over hundreds or thousands of years, and it is not exactly a clean back flip. Magnetic fields morph and push and pull at one another, with multiple poles emerging at odd latitudes throughout the process. Scientists estimate reversals have happened at least hundreds of times over the past three billion years. And while reversals have happened more frequently in “recent” years, when dinosaurs walked Earth a reversal was more likely to happen only about every one million years.

    Sediment cores taken from deep ocean floors can tell scientists about magnetic polarity shifts, providing a direct link between magnetic field activity and the fossil record. The Earth’s magnetic field determines the magnetization of lava as it is laid down on the ocean floor on either side of the Mid-Atlantic Rift where the North American and European continental plates are spreading apart. As the lava solidifies, it creates a record of the orientation of past magnetic fields much like a tape recorder records sound. The last time that Earth’s poles flipped in a major reversal was about 780,000 years ago, in what scientists call the Brunhes-Matuyama reversal. The fossil record shows no drastic changes in plant or animal life. Deep ocean sediment cores from this period also indicate no changes in glacial activity, based on the amount of oxygen isotopes in the cores. This is also proof that a polarity reversal would not affect the rotation axis of Earth, as the planet’s rotation axis tilt has a significant effect on climate and glaciation and any change would be evident in the glacial record.

    Earth’s polarity is not a constant. Unlike a classic bar magnet, or the decorative magnets on your refrigerator, the matter governing Earth’s magnetic field moves around. Geophysicists are pretty sure that the reason Earth has a magnetic field is because its solid iron core is surrounded by a fluid ocean of hot, liquid metal. This process can also be modeled with supercomputers. Ours is, without hyperbole, a dynamic planet. The flow of liquid iron in Earth’s core creates electric currents, which in turn create the magnetic field. So while parts of Earth’s outer core are too deep for scientists to measure directly, we can infer movement in the core by observing changes in the magnetic field. The magnetic north pole has been creeping northward – by more than 600 miles (1,100 km) – since the early 19th century, when explorers first located it precisely. It is moving faster now, actually, as scientists estimate the pole is migrating northward about 40 miles per year, as opposed to about 10 miles per year in the early 20th century.

    Another doomsday hypothesis about a geomagnetic flip plays up fears about incoming solar activity. This suggestion mistakenly assumes that a pole reversal would momentarily leave Earth without the magnetic field that protects us from solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun. But, while Earth’s magnetic field can indeed weaken and strengthen over time, there is no indication that it has ever disappeared completely. A weaker field would certainly lead to a small increase in solar radiation on Earth – as well as a beautiful display of aurora at lower latitudes – but nothing deadly. Moreover, even with a weakened magnetic field, Earth’s thick atmosphere also offers protection against the sun’s incoming particles.

    The science shows that magnetic pole reversal is – in terms of geologic time scales – a common occurrence that happens gradually over millennia. While the conditions that cause polarity reversals are not entirely predictable – the north pole’s movement could subtly change direction, for instance – there is nothing in the millions of years of geologic record to suggest that any of the 2012 doomsday scenarios connected to a pole reversal should be taken seriously.

    There’s a renewed interest right now in Earth’s magnetic poles – specifically, whether or not they’re about to flip, and what may happen. The consequences of this seemingly rapid geomagnetic backflip may sound a little ominous, but don’t worry: we’re not sure when the next reversal will happen, and even when it does, the risks aren’t likely to be as scary as you may think.

    Let’s start with the basics.

    As Earth’s liquid, iron-rich outer core gradually cools, it sloshes around through colossal convection currents, which are also somewhat warped by Earth’s own rotation. Thanks to a quirk of physics known as the dynamo theory, this generates a powerful magnetic field, with a north and south end.

    Although 99 percent of the magnetic energy remains within the core, the slithers that escape extend into space, and spends most of its time deflecting potentially deadly, atmosphere-stripping solar wind.

    Right now, the magnetic north pole is exactly where you suspect it is; the same goes for the magnetic south pole. Both represent locales in which the planet’s magnetic field is vertical, and at which point your compass needle tries to point upwards.

    Throughout geological time, these magnetic poles have switched sides – a phenomenon known as a “geomagnetic reversal”. Although there are several hypotheses that attempt to explain this, geophysicists are still a little unsure as to why it happens. It’s clearly something to do with turbulence and chaos within the metallic outer core, but the specifics haven’t been nailed down yet.

    This is bad news for anyone who enjoys life without radiation sickness.

    The Earth’s magnetic field is a barrier which shields us from a lot of harmful solar radiation, attracting cosmic rays towards our planet’s poles so that they shoot harmlessly past us without doing too much damage. If the field were to become weak enough during this transitional period, more radiation would bake the planet than we’re typically used to, which could ultimately render large parts of the Earth uninhabitable for a long time to come.

    What’s more, our technology won’t fare too well once the magnetic field begins to weaken—orbital satellites in particular will suffer from solar buffeting without the convenient protection that’s currently provided by the Earth’s magnetic field. Down on the planet itself, things could get hectic too—solar flares would do more damage than normal, overloading power grids, causing computers to fail, and generally running amok.

    This wouldn’t be a small global problem that would pass harmlessly afterwards. Because it takes hundreds of years for the planet’s poles to stabilize, entire generations of humans would be constantly affected, unable to use the technology that has become, and will continue to become, such a large part of our lives.

    The greatest threat that this poses to humans is via the sun. With a weak magnetic field, we would be far more exposed to CMEs (Coronal Mass ejections), in which flaming hot materials from the Sun are thrown into space at high speeds (around 5,000,000mph), often in the direction of Earth. These would easily create temporary punctures in our ozone layer, causing massive exposure to UV rays. Some scientists predict that skin cancer rates would skyrocket.

    Or, nothing happens…

    There are some who are quite sure that people would feel absolutely nothing if the poles were to flip. Whilst sleeping, eating our lunch or working out at the gym, the magnetic poles of our planet could reverse, and we’d be none the wiser.

    Those who go by this theory often believe that it will be technology that suffers in such a huge magnetic event. We’ve seen before that solar storms can cause huge malfunctions on satellites, interfere with communications, and cause blackouts. The best, and most recent example of this was the 2003 ‘Halloween Storm’ which caused blackouts across Sweden, it was a logistical nightmare for aviation and caused two NASA satellites to temporarily fail.

    If humanity wants to continue to survive indefinitely, we’re going to need to come up with some inventive solutions to this problem while we don’t have plenty of time to organize ourselves.

    The Coming Blackout Epidemic
    The lights may go out sooner than you think.

    Every year, millions of people around the world experience major electricity blackouts, but the country that has endured more blackouts than any other industrialized nation is the United States. Over the last decade, the number of power failures affecting over 50,000 Americans has more than doubled, according to federal data.

    • The looming power failure epidemic

    The paper published this September in Routledge’s Journal of Urban Technology points out that 50 major power outages have afflicted 26 countries in the last decade alone, driven by rapid population growth in concentrated urban areas and a rampant “addiction” to high-consumption lifestyles dependent on electric appliances.

    • Extreme weather and climate change

    According to a little-known rep​ort last year to the Executive Office of the President by the Council of Economic Advisers and Department of Energy, between 2012 and 2018 the US saw 679 blackouts due to extreme weather events, costing on average $18-33 billion a year. In 2018 alone, the US suffered e​leven “billion-dollar” weather disasters.

    “The number of outages caused by severe weather is expected to rise as climate change increases the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, blizzards, floods and other extreme weather events,” the report found.

    The growing prevalence of extreme weather including droughts due to climate change could also significantly undermine coal, gas and nuclear production, all of which require large inputs of water, to spin and cool turbines in thermal power plants.

    The amount of fresh water consumed for world energy production could do​uble in the next 25 years according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). In that fossil fuel-centric scenario, over 50 percent of demand would come from coal-fired power plants, 30 percent from biofuel production, and 10 percent from oil and natural gas production.

    Surveying the impacts of past blackouts in the US, China, Canada, Italy, Africa, and many other regions, they show that blackouts can lead to state-rationing of electricity, massive economic losses, the breakdown of manufacturing, food supply shortages, degradation of water purification and waste facilities, and increases in crime rates and civil unrest. Yet they are not fatalistic about the inevitability of such an increasingly dark future.

    “There is a possibility of mitigating, but not eliminating, the risk with improved technology,” said Hugh Byrd. Major investments in self-healing ‘smart grids’ and ‘smart metering’ “can assist in reducing demand by providing feedback to users,” but some technologies can also create new risks like “cyber-espionage of the control systems of generators and distributors.”

    Growth of global electricity production, is undergoing “a marked slowdown in many industrialized countries of the west,” due to “increasingly high prices of energy that are squeezing demand. Now, the question is: would that lead to blackouts? In short, I think not—not in the short run, at least… Right now, the industrial sector of several western countries is rapidly contracting and the result is reduced consumption. So, right now, as long as things evolve slowly, I would say that I don’t see a blackout danger anywhere in Europe. We should see a gradual reduction of consumption as people become poorer and poorer, and less and less able to afford to pay the electricity bill.”

    So whether we face a future of increasing blackouts or declining consumption, the climbing costs of keeping the lights on means more of us might be switching off. But clearly that doesn’t need to be the final verdict: increasing investments in installing smart grids now could prepare us for increased electricity demand in the future.

    Hopefully before another major solar event happens, we might at least have the ability to anticipate it. To, at least, mitigate damages, people could be informed of the exact time and nature of the event, lessening panic and chaos. They could also be instructed to stay off the roads, airlines could be entirely shut down, and protective structures could be created/used (or there might be ways for people to maximize safety at home). While these actions wouldn’t ensure safety, being informed would be the key to recovering from the event. NASA is also aware of the potential problems, and is actively researching solutions. The agency says:

    [Space weather] is a problem the same way hurricanes are a problem. One can protect oneself with advance information and proper precautions. During a hurricane watch, a homeowner can stay put … or he can seal up the house, turn off the electronics and get out of the way. Similarly, scientists at NASA and NOAA give warnings to electric companies, spacecraft operators and airline pilots before a CME comes to Earth so that these groups can take proper precautions.

    Alien Abductee Recounts Amazing Encounters with Greys & Reptilian Beings (Video)

    COAST TO COAST AM. George Knapp welcomed abductee Niara Isley as she recounted her experience which began after she witnessed a mysterious craft at the military’s secretive Tonopah Test Range in Nevada.

    She explained that, soon after being sent to the base to train pilots on how to avoid being detected by radar, she spotted a UFO in the sky, which she thought might be a back-engineered US test craft.

    Strangely, she noted that there were armed guards standing nearby and their intent seemed to be to ensure that Isley and her colleagues saw the UFO.

    The group was then herded onto an old school bus with blacked-out windows, and they were taken to a medical facility.

    At a later date, she said, her superiors forced her to board a craft, which was manned by both a grey and reptilian alien, and she was actually taken to the moon.

    No One Knows How Hawaiian Seals Are Getting Eels in Their Noses

    The American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been conducting research on Hawaiian monk seals for more than 40 years, as they are an endangered species. On November 2, 2018, the NOAA website posted good news that seal pups are on the rise. On Dec. 5, 2018, however, they posted a bit of strange news on their website, detailing a new issue among Hawaiian monk seals – getting eels stuck up their nose.

    An adorable photo of such an issue was shared on the administration’s Facebook page just after the update on their website. Apparently, the issue is a relatively new one, only having been observed a few times in the last couple of years. Scientists are currently investigating the cause of this new phenomenon, and are not sure if it is indicative of a new trend.

    According to the report, Hawaiian monk seals feed through foraging. They forage for food by shoving their mouths and noses into underwater crevices. This is to find food sources who hide, including eels. So while monk seals are shoving their noses around the nooks and crannies of the ocean’s depths, eels may try to defend themselves, which could lead to them charging into the creatures’ nostrils, or the seals themselves may have regurgitated the eels through their nose.

    Scientists from the NOAA admit they may never know why the seals are getting the eels stuck in their nose, adding they gently remove the eels from the seals’ noses when they are discovered, with a 100 percent success rate. The seals do not seem to have any negative effects from that removal, nor having them there in the first place. The eels, though, are dead when they are removed from the noses of the seals.

    Those working firsthand to pull the eels from the nostrils of the seals said the phenomenon started becoming an issue around two years ago. While the eels are in their noses, the seals are described as both calm and serene. At least one scientist working with the animals told a reporter from the Washington Post he wished the seals would “make better choices.”

    One thing is for certain with for the scientists regarding this phenomenon – it is not directly human-related. Much of this monk seal/eel nonsense is occurring on remote islands only visited by scientists. It probably has more to do with monk seal feeding patterns, as eels are a steady part of their diets, alongside octopus and other species of fish.

    A juvenile Hawaiian monk seal was found with a spotted eel in its nose at French Frigate Shoals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands this past summer.

    Why George Adamski Was Watched By The Government

    In the early hours of November 20, 1952, controversial Contactee George Adamski and his secretary, Lucy McGinnis, headed out of Palomar Mountain and drove to Blythe, California. It was all as a result of a sudden, out of the blue hunch that Adamski had – one which led him to believe that a close encounter was looming on the horizon. As dawn broke, they met with several fellow saucer-seekers, Al and Betty Bailey, and George Hunt Williamson, who was a fellow Contactee who also caught the secret attention of the FBI, as we shall soon see. After breakfast, Adamski had an eerie feeling that the group needed to head off to Parker, Arizona – which they quickly did. It wasn’t long before one and all was shocked and amazed by the sight of a huge, silver-colored UFO that was “cigar”-like in shape and maneuvering high in the clear skies over Parker.

    An excited Adamski shouted to the group to follow it: they raced for their cars and hit the dirt road in pursuit of the craft from another world. According to Adamski and his friends, the craft shot out of the area after being pursued by a squadron of military aircraft. Soon after, though, a much smaller, Flying Saucer-type vehicle landed on a nearby mountain. For Adamski, this was a sign the aliens wanted to converse with him, face to face. That, we’re told, is exactly what happened. As the rest of the group kept their distance, Adamski tentatively walked towards the alien craft. A door on the vehicle opened and Adamski, holding his breath, was confronted by a long-haired, human-looking figure dressed in a one-piece suit, not unlike the kind of outfit worm by today’s military pilots.

    Adamski said that the long-haired, human-looking being claimed his name was Orthon, that he came from the planet Venus, and that he was here to warn the world of the perils of nuclear weapons. Orthon told the excited and shocked Adamski that he, Adamski, was to be a part of a worldwide program designed to push human civilization away from planet-wide annihilation and towards a new paradise. With that all said, Orthon returned to his Flying Saucer, which raced into the heavens and vanished from view.

    In mere minutes, Adamski was a new man with a new plan. He claimed further controversial encounters with the Space-Brothers and, in 1953, co-authored with Desmond Leslie a book on the entire affair titled Flying Saucers Have Landed. The book proved to be a huge hit. Adamski had gone from a figure of relative obscurity to one that countless numbers of people were listening to – and listening to very carefully. Those listeners included none other than some of the finest special-agents of the FBI.

    It’s important to note that the stories of George Adamski – who died in 1965 – have both their believers and their disbelievers. That Orthon looked extremely human and claimed to be a Venusian, has had many a UFO researcher rolling their eyes – and quite understandably. On the other hand, and even to this day, Adamski still has a faithful following which shows no signs of going away anytime soon. For the FBI, though, it wasn’t so much whether or not Adamski’s claims were true or not which bothered J. Edgar Hoover’s G-Men. Rather, it was the influence that Adamski was having on the American public that had them worried. Deeply so, too.

    Had Adamski just told his readers, and listeners, tales of exciting encounters with spacemen and space-women from other worlds, then, in all probability, the FBI would not have cared in the slightest. But, things didn’t end there. According to the FBI’s files on Adamski, his aliens were communists. Those same records state that Adamski claimed that the Soviet way of life was also the way of the future. That the Russians would be the victors in a looming Third World War, and that the Space Brothers would then usher in a new era in which alien communists would sculpt a new Earth.

    Today, much of this might sound farcical, unimportant and far-fetched, but it was the thousands upon thousands of people who completely bought into all this which had the FBI concerned. As a result, J. Edgar Hoover ordered a file to be opened on Adamski. It ran from 1952 to 1965, amounts to around 130 pages, and is now available under Freedom of Information legislation. The file makes it very clear that the Bureau was far from impressed by anything that Adamski had to say about his alleged alien encounters. The issue of how Adamski insisted on spreading the word of communism, though – and doing so via the message and the medium of the Space Brothers – continued to worry and vex the FBI. Hence the existence of the strange file.

    More Than A Hundred New Exoplanets Discovered

    In the last several decades, astronomers have confirmed a few thousand exoplanets, while there are still thousands more that are considered candidates. Astronomers discovered more of these planets that are orbiting distant stars, and on December 3, 2018, 104 more exoplanets were confirmed. And of those 104, at least 18 of them are less than two times bigger than Earth (but smaller than Neptune) and it’s believed that they have rocky compositions with atmospheres which are comparable to what we have right here on our planet.

    Those eighteen planets have little to no atmosphere which means that they don’t have thick or deep atmospheres like the ice or gas planets in our solar system. This means that they would have thinner atmospheres very much like Earth as well as other rocky planets, such as Mercury.

    Around two dozen of the newly discovered planets are in multi-planet systems with some of them having extremely short orbital periods which last less than 24 hours. Astronomers have named them ultra-short period (or USP) planets. These USP planets are normally large gas planets (like Jupiter) but they orbit their own stars at very close range. In fact, one of the newly found planetary systems, called K2-187, includes four known planets with one of them being a USP planet.

    Astronomer John Livingston from the University of Tokyo led the most recent study of the newly discovered planets and also created a video visualization describing the planets and their temperatures compared to Earth’s. Click here to see Livingston’s visualization.

    These newly discovered exoplanets were in two different parts. First of all, researchers from the University of Tokyo, as well as the Astrobiology Center of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences in Japan, announced that they had discovered 60 new exoplanets from data which came from NASA’s Kepler mission and ESA’s Gaia mission. And before that, in last August, 44 other planets were previously discovered, which brings the total to 104 newly found exoplanets.

    The most recent find of the 60 new planets came from analyzing a total of 155 planetary candidates that were discovered in the K2’s second year data. K2 is the modified second phase of the Kepler planet-hunting mission and Livingston believes that hundreds more exoplanets are out in there waiting to be confirmed. He said, “By extrapolating our analysis of these 155 candidates, we estimate that hundreds of planets remain unconfirmed in the K2 data.”

    The Kepler Space Telescope has officially been retired by NASA, but there is another telescope that’s called TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) that is currently collecting data and has already found numerous new exoplanets.

    There have been thousands of exoplanets discovered and while some are just candidates and others have been confirmed, there is so much of the universe that has yet to be discovered and there’s no doubt that with further research, many more of these exoplanets will be located.

    Bizarre Accounts of Mysterious Living Dinosaurs of Africa

    One of the most mysterious types of cryptid creatures is that of what are called living dinosaurs, said to be relic populations of those enormous lumbering lizards that once thunderously crashed over the face of our planet with ponderous might. While most may assume that these creatures went extinct eons ago, it is surprising how many reports there are of actual dinosaurs still alive and roaming about in the most isolated parts of our planet as they did millions of years ago. One place that has proven to be a veritable Lost World of supposed living dinosaurs  is the dark continent of Africa, and here in the remote unexplored jungles dinosaurs still allegedly reign supreme as if they were never gone at all.

    By far the most famous of the supposed lost African dinosaurs is none other than the one called Mokele-mbembe, which literally translates to “one who stops the flow of rivers.” The habitat of this creature is deep within the furthest recesses of the steamy swampland and dark jungles of the Congo river basin, in particular an expanse of sprawling isolated wilderness called the Likouala swamp region. The beast in question lives up to its name, larger than an elephant and with a lang neck topped by a smallish reptilian head and with stocky short legs, resembling a brontosaurus and which has been a part of the landscape here for the native tribes since time unremembered. Semi-aquatic in nature it is rarely seen even by the natives, and although a vegetarian makes for a frightening sight, with a mighty roar that is said to create great fear and dread in all who hear it. A good description of the Mokele-mbembe can be found in a 1980 issue of Science, within an article called Living Dinosaurs, which reads:

    In the swampy jungles of western Africa, reports persist of an elephant-sized creature with smooth, brownish-gray skin, a long, flexible neck, a very long tail as powerful as a crocodile’s, and three-clawed feet the size of frying pans. Over the past three centuries, native Pygmies and Western explorers have told how the animals feed on the nutlike fruit of a riverbank plant and keep to the deep pools and subsurface caves of waters in this largely unexplored region.

    Although the tribes and missionaries of this land of impenetrable swamp had long known of the creature, it was not until the early 1900s that its existence would finally trickle out to the Western world. In 1909, the renowned big game hunter Carl Hagenbeck wrote of the creature in his autobiographical work Beasts and Men, in which he told of hearing tales from the natives of a hulking, frightening beast that was described as being half elephant and half dragon. Hagenbeck looked into this phenomenon further, speaking with the naturalist Joseph Menges, who told him that indeed the natives had a rich lore of this beast, and that he personally believed it to be some kind of dinosaur similar to a brontosaurus. Yet another of Hagenbeck’s sources was the German adventurer, filmmaker, and big game hunter Hans Schomburgk, who told him that the natives of the area blamed the Mokele-mbembe for killing all of the hippos at a place called Lake Bangweulu.

    Another well-publicized account was made in another area in 1913, by German adventurer and Captain Ludwig Freiherr von Stein zu Lausnitz, who at the time was surveying a region of present day Cameroon for potential spots for colonies. Natives told him many tales of the Mokele-mbembe, which were surprisingly consistent across the board from many independent sources, although Lausnitz remained rather skeptical himself at first. This version of Mokele-mbembe painted it as a vicious force to be reckoned with, an aggressive behemoth that the natives steered well clear of, and he would later write of the mysterious beast:

    The animal is said to be of a brownish-gray color with a smooth skin, its size is approximately that of an elephant; at least that of a hippopotamus. It is said to have a long and very flexible neck and only one tooth but a very long one; some say it is a horn. A few spoke about a long, muscular tail like that of an alligator. Canoes coming near it are said to be doomed; the animal is said to attack the vessels at once and to kill the crews but without eating the bodies. The creature is said to live in the caves that have been washed out by the river in the clay of its shores at sharp bends. It is said to climb the shores even at daytime in search of food; its diet is said to be entirely vegetable. This feature disagrees with a possible explanation as a myth. The preferred plant was shown to me, it is a kind of liana with large white blossoms, with a milky sap and applelike fruits. At the Ssombo River I was shown a path said to have been made by this animal in order to get at its food. The path was fresh and there were plants of the described type nearby. But since there were too many tracks of elephants, hippos, and other large mammals it was impossible to make out a particular spoor with any amount of certainty.

    These accounts, along with other scattered reports from explorers and missionaries in the region of these brontosaurus-like animals roaming the swamps really captured the public imagination, with the thought of lumbering dinosaurs from ages past wallowing through the mists of this lost world proving to be absolutely irresistible. Many expeditions were launched into the forbidding terrain of this mysterious domain in search of the enigmatic Mokele-mbembe over the decades, with some of them funded by such respected institutions as the Smithsonian, and even the famed cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson made an excursion there in 1932. Sanderson would come across large tracks that the natives explained as being from the creature, and he also spotted something very large disappear into the water which he could not explain. In the 1930s the lore was further fueled by a report from the region’s Lake Tele of a tribe of pygmies that had actually managed to kill one of the creatures. According to the tale, two of the Mokele-mbembe tried to smash through a wall of stakes designed to keep the beasts out, and were set upon by fierce, spear wielding tribesmen. After an epic thrashing battle, they were allegedly able to kill one of them, after which they brought it back to the village and had it cooked and eaten as part of a celebratory feast. The story goes that everyone who ate the meat of this mysterious animal became violently ill and later died.

    Perhaps the most famous of these expeditions was that of a University of Chicago biologist named Roy Mackal, who ventured to the Likouala swamp region multiple times in 1980s in order to investigate the stories. Although he would not find any physical evidence or see one of the creatures himself, the team did find things like large swaths of broken branches caused by something very large barreling through, footprints, and claimed to have heard the creatures as well. Mackal would bring back numerous native reports of the Mokele-mbembe, which he compiled into a book entitled Living Dinosaur?. Another rather interesting expedition was carried out in 1981 by a Herman Regusters, who brought his team to the remote Lake Tele. This particular expedition would come back with quite a bit of supposed evidence of the creatures, such as droppings, a footprint cast, and even an alleged recording of the Mokele-mbembe’s roar, which you can listen to here, although it is pretty inconclusive at best and could be anything.

    Indeed, the 1980s saw several promising expeditions into the region. In 1980 there was one launched by German adventurer and engineer Herman Regusters and his wife. The couple would claim to have seen the beast on several occasions, both in the water and on land, as well as hearing its roars, and they even produced an alleged photograph of it. In 1983 a zoologist by the name of Marcellin Agnagna led an expedition to Lake Tele and claimed to have seen the creature when it raised its head and long neck out of the water, which he described as having a thin, reddish head and reptilian oval eyes that stared at him for a time before vanishing beneath the murky depths. Interestingly, the only known video footage of the Mokele-mbembe was taken at Lake Tele in 1987, when a Japanese film crew was flying over the lake to survey the area. The footage is grainy at best, but shows what appears to be a very large animal of some sort moving across the water, with what looks like it could be a head and neck but which has been criticized as being merely two natives on a canoe.

    Expeditions and reports of the Mokele-mbembe have continued on into later years, with some of them proving quite spectacular indeed. One British expedition led by explorer and cryptozoologist William Gibbons in 1992 trekked through a large portion of the region and came back with a photograph of what might be the head of a Mokele-mbembe taken at Lake Tele. In 1999 there was also a rather incredible report printed in the Sunday Times of London, which claimed that members of the Kabonga tribe had killed one of the creatures, but it is unknown how much veracity this report holds as no body was ever presented for scrutiny. Despite all of the expeditions and reports, which continue to this day, there has not been any solid evidence provided for the existence of Mokele-mbembe, but it remains the most talked about and sought after “living dinosaur” of Africa. Is it out there or not? Considering the lack of many modern day sightings, is there even the chance that if it did exist, has it finally gone extinct after all?

    If Mokele Mbembe is in fact a real living dinosaur and really exists, then it also has some company, and there are various others said to lurk within the muck and trees here, inhabiting the exact same area, within the remotest, most impenetrable areas of the Congo’s Likouala swamp region. One is a large, saurian creature said to prowl Lake Bangweulu, and which the natives call the nsanga. This ferocious beast is described as looking very similar to a crocodile, only much larger and without scales and with formidable, over-sized claws on its feet. The German adventurer Lt. Paul Gratz claimed in 1911 to have been presented with strips of skin from the creature.

    A rather more well-known member of this menagerie is called the Emela-ntouka, which literally translates from the local tribal language to “Elephant Killer.” It is said to be a massive dinosaur-like reptilian beast that is said to be about the size of a full grown elephant and takes a stout, tank-like form with an armored body, a ponderous thick club-like tail, and a prominent and formidable horn protruding from its head similar to that of a rhinoceros. The creature is supposedly semi-aquatic, spending much of its time lurking hidden within the muddy waters of the swamp and, although a vegetarian, stays true to its name, storied by local tribes for its explosive aggressiveness, attacking anything that approaches and indeed killing elephants, as well as buffaloes or hippos on occasion with apparent ease, usually while unleashing a reverberating, distinctive growl.

    Although this mysterious creature has long been known to the native tribes of the region, the wilderness itself is so forbidding and closed off from the rest of the world that it wasn’t until the 1930s that stories of the existence of this single-horned killing machine prowling the dim swamps began to come in from outsiders. One of the first mentions of the creature by Western explorers was by the adventurer J.E. Hughes, who wrote of a local tribe along the shores of the Luapula River who had killed one of the beasts, an account buried within an otherwise non-sensationalist 1933 travel book called Eighteen Years on Lake Bangweulu. Interestingly, there was another of the creatures supposedly killed by tribesmen in the early 1930s near a place called Dongou. In 1954 the creature was really propelled to the public consciousness when a former Likouala game inspector named Lucien Blancou wrote of it in an article for the scientific journal Mammalia, saying of it:

    The presence of a beast which sometimes disembowels elephants is also known, but it does not seem to be prevalent there now as in the preceding districts. A specimen was supposed to have been killed twenty years ago at Dongou, but on the left of the Ubangi and in the Belgian Congo.

    In the 1980s, when Dr. Roy P. Mackal made his way into the hostile wilderness of the Congo looking for the legendary Mokele Mbembe, he too heard the stories of the Emela-ntouka, which he also included in his famous 1987 book A Living Dinosaur. Mackal himself believed the creature to be perhaps a surviving relic population of the Centrosaurus, an extinct dinosaur that possessed a large single horn, a theory supported by the legendary cryptozoologist Bernard Heuvelmans, although this cryptid is not said to have the same prominent head ridge that these dinosaurs displayed. Another idea is that the creature is not a dinosaur or even a reptile at all, but rather something more like a new species of semi-aquatic rhinoceros, but considering the incredibly isolated area and the relative small number of sightings by outsiders it is likely we will never know for sure, and indeed that like the Mokele Mbembe might even be already extinct once and for all.

    The Emela-ntouka seems to somewhat resemble in some respects other supposed living dinosaurs within the uncharted wildernesses of Africa, particularly an immense squat, armored beast covered in bony plates and with a thick tail said to inhabit the jungles of Kenya and called the Muhuru. Also, roaming the savanna region of Cameroon is also a cryptid called the Ngoubou, which is said to be a buffalo-sized hoofed creature with a thick, muscular body and with an imposing array of 6 horns upon its head, which it used to chase off, and on occasion kill, elephants. It is uncertain what connection either of these have to the Emela-ntouka but the passing similarities are interesting.

    Getting back to the Likouala Region of the Republic of Congo we have yet another apparent living dinosaur to join Mokele Mbembe and the Emela-ntouka, in this instance one called the Mbielu-Mbielu-Mbielu, or literally “the animal with planks growing out of its back.” As its name suggests its main feature is an array of protruding armored ridges running along its back, and is said to be almost completely aquatic in nature, rarely seen out of the water, and villagers of the region in which it is seen say that its back is typically covered with a sheen of green algae.

    This is rather similar to yet another Congo dwelling dino called the Nguma-monene, which allegedly takes the form of a massive lizard, or in some accounts a snake, with intimidating ridges down its back. The Nguma-monene is reported from along a tributary of the Ubangi River called Dongu-Mataba, and one of the most famous sightings by an outsider was made by a pastor Joseph Ellis in 1971, who saw it swimming alongside him as he rode a dugout canoe, and who described it as absolutely gigantic, with a portion of the tail alone measuring the same size as the vessel he was in, and with clearly visible diamond shaped protrusions all along the top. The truly massive creature apparently created a rush of ripples and waves that were enough to threaten to overturn the canoe as it glided past. This creature is also apparently very aggressive, and supposedly hates hippos, killing them on sight. Hippos seem to just do that to these dinosaurs.

    Also from the Democratic Republic of the Congo is an apparent dinosaur more in appearance like the terrible Tyrannosaurus Rex, reported from the remote rainforests of a place called the Kasai Valley. The creature in question is most spectacularly known from a report made in 1932, by a Swedish plantation owner named John Johanson, who at the time was travelling through the region with a local guide. At one point during their trek through the mosquito choked interior jungles they allegedly came across a rhinoceros going about its business. As they stood looking at the creature, they claimed that an enormous bipedal dinosaur-like monster, estimated as around 43 feet long, came erupting forth from the trees to pounce upon the rhino and kill it, after which it actually began to eat the carcass, apparently unaware that the two startled men were standing there watching it go about its hunt. Johanson would describe it by saying,“It was reddish in color, with blackish-colored stripes. It had a long snout and numerous teeth. The legs were thick; it reminded me of a lion, built for speed.”

    There was another rather intriguing report from that very same year from the same area of what may or may not have been the same creature, which was published in the Rhodesia Herald. In this account, a hunter made his way to the Kasai Valley along with his gunbearer. As they made their way through the jungle, they supposedly cam across two large elephants standing there in the mist. As the two witnessed surveyed the area their gaze fell upon what they described as “a monster, about 16 yards in length, with a lizard’s head and tail.” Of course the hunter did the human thing and fired upon it, hey if you don’t understand it kill it, and he would say of what happened next:

    I was shaken by the hunting-fever. My teeth rattled with fear. Three times I snapped; only one attempt came out well. Suddenly the monster vanished, with a remarkably rapid movement. It took me some time to recover. Alongside me the boy prayed and cried. I lifted him up, pushed him along and made him follow me home. On the way we had to transverse a big swamp. Progress was slow, for my limbs were still half-paralyzed with fear. There in the swamp, the huge lizard appeared once more, tearing lumps from a dead rhino. It was covered in ooze. I was only about 25 yards away. It was simply terrifying. The boy had taken French leave, carrying the rifle with him. 

    At first I was careful not to stir, then I thought of my camera. I could hear the crunching of rhino bones in the lizard’s mouth. Just as I clicked, it jumped into deep water. The experience was too much for my nervous system. Completely exhausted, I sank down behind the bush that had given me shelter. Blackness reigned before my eyes. The animal’s phenomenally rapid motion was the most awe-inspiring thing I have ever seen.

    Stories of similar creatures have been told in the region, but the credibility of the so-called Kasai Rex has been the subject of some skepticism. One of the main things that has detracted greatly from its veracity are two photographs of the alleged creature, both of which were found to be doctored hoaxes. There is also the inconvenient fact that the natives of the region don’t seem to have any knowledge of this particular creature, and it has mostly only been sighted by outsiders, making the reports all the more questionable. Whether it is real or not, they are interesting accounts nonetheless.

    Other areas of Africa are not without their own stories of roving dinosaurian monsters. Cameroon, which is also thought to be a haunt of the Mokele-mbembe and others, also has a monster of supposedly truly epic proportions known locally as the M’kuoo M’bemboo. This creature is said to be truly gargantuan, with its head alone described as being the size of a full grown hippo. The M’kuoo M’bemboo is described as being a jet black in color, and has a flattened head reminiscent of that of a seal. The creature is known for its rumbling, gurgling roar, and it is said to kill hippos but not eat them. Hippos just can’t catch a break here. Cameroon is also purportedly home to what are called the Jago-Nini, and the Amali, which are said to be immense aquatic dinosaurs that glide through the rivers here, oddly not killing hippos. The adventurer and ivory trader Alfred Aloysius Smith wrote of these mysterious creatures thus:

    Aye, and behind the Cameroon there’s things living we know nothing about. I could ‘a’ made books about many things. The Jago-Nini they say is still in the swamps and rivers. Giant diver it means. Comes out of the water and devours people. Old men’ll tell you what their grandfathers saw but they still believe its there. Same as the Amali I’ve always taken it to be. I’ve seen the Amali’s footprint. About the size of a good frying pan in circumference and three claws instead of five.

    Perhaps one of the strangest “living dinosaur” of all is one supposedly native to the wilds of Sudan, in the wetlands of Bhar el Zeraf, and well as in Sudan’s Lake No, and in Lake Victoria. The creature is called the Lau, which is said to look like “a donkey with flippers,” possesses bizarre tentacles on its face, and measures up to 100 feet in length. It is said to emit a truly terrifying roar that sounds like “the thundering of elephants.” There have been many reports of the creature since the 1800s, and in 1914 there was a Lau allegedly killed in the swamps of Addar, but the body was never recovered. In 1924, a supposed vertebrae from one of the beasts was received by a British officer from a native tribesman, but where it went is anyone’s guess and we are left with no physical evidence at all.

    It is rather frustrating because that is the situation we are left with all of these cases, a lack of any clear evidence and only these mystifying stories and native accounts to go by. It is certainly not an indication that these creatures cannt exist, and the terrain itself makes it a given that these places should be unexplored. After all, we are dealing with some of the most unexplored places on the planet, walls of nearly impassable jungle filled with diseases, dangerous wildlife, and often in wartorn areas patrolled by nefarious bands of cutthroats, all conspiring with the extremely vast areas involved, meaning that it is very difficult to mount thorough expeditions and investigations into the matter. The reliance on reports from natives is also not a damning thing, as many known animals such as the gorilla and the okapi got their start in tribal reports that at the time seemed every bit as outlandish. In the end we are left with the question of whether any of these creatures are real, and if so, are they indeed living dinosaurs? It is impossible to say, but if there are dinosaurs still roaming the earth, then these dark uncharted jungles are pretty much exactly where one would expect them to be.

    Unexplained Luminous Phenomena of the Flashing Kind

    A variety of different kinds of unexplained illuminations have been reported over the centuries. These mysterious luminous phenomena are reported both by day and by night (although perhaps a majority seem to occur nocturnally), and many are observed passing through the air; in modern times, such unexplained aerial phenomena are often linked to UFO sightings, and occasionally appear to display features that may indicate the objects are intelligently controlled.

    In an incident that occurred on May 4, 1997, the S.T.S. Astridhad set sail from the Azores, and was passing through the North Atlantic Ocean while en route to Dartmouth when something very peculiar happened.

    According to a report on the incident published in the Marine Observer in 1997, “At 0443 UTC a light was sighted high in the sky above the ship. The light was of the style of a satellite in appearance. However, it was seen for about 10-15 seconds moving west to northwest, with a pulsating white light.”

    “At one point,” the report continues, “the light stopped and turned in the direction of the ship. The light no longer pulsated, and for about one second it was in the form of a spotlight lighting the surrounding area. The light then turned back again and moved very, very fast across the sky before it was lost below the horizon in a matter of seconds.”

    Such a report leaves much to the imagination, of course, although the description of both the spotlight, as well as the flashing and intermittent stop-and-go behavior described here is consistent with a number of UFO reports from over the years, where larger objects which appear to possess flashing or strobing lights, or simply blinking lights all by themselves, have been observed by pilots and ground-based observers.

    Could any of these flashing objects have a natural origin? There are at least some anecdotal reports that involve descriptions of intermittent pulsating or blinking by unusual aerial lights, such as with the luminous phenomenon that has been observed for decades at Hessdalen, Norway. According to Hessdalen.org, a website devoted to the study of these unusual nocturnal illuminations, there are several varieties of lights, among which white or blue-white flashing lights are included.

    “They are usually high up in the air, close to the top of the mountains or even higher,” the description at the website says. Usually lasting only a few seconds, these nocturnal displays have on some occasions lasted up to a minute, and according to the website, during their visible periods, “the light flashed several times while it is moving.” Other varieties of lights observed at Hessdalen are composed of yellow lights “with a red light on the top,” with the red upper portion also described as flashing intermittently.

    The Hessdalen lights, it is widely believed, could represent some kind of natural phenomenon; possibly an earthlight formation akin to ball lightning, although some recent estimates have suggested everything from piezoelectricity, to cosmic radiation as possible sources. Whatever the case, their presence could provide a unique instance where a variety of luminous phenomenon in nature has been observed pulsating or flashing in this way.

    Another oceanic incident similar to the one described earlier was reported by M.E. Guy in the Marine Observer a few years earlier, this one taking place on May 6, 1984. It occurred over the Equatorial Eastern Atlantic ocean, and involved a series of flashing white lights that were observed as the sailing vessel in question neared the equator. The crew later reported that visibility was good at the time, with little disturbance on the ocean, and the moon in its first quarter. “At first it was thought that there were three lights, one being bright and the other two relatively dim,” the report reads, “but as the vessel approached it it was decided that there were only two, one bright and one dim.”

    This unusual pair of flashing lights was also tracked on radar at the time. “The target, once detected,” the report indicates, “gave a very strong echo and gave the impression of being a large target. It was plotted and found to be stationary.”

    According to the observers at the time, neither of the two lights seen by the crew appeared to be flashing or operating under any kind of pattern. “Instead they just flashed at random, but never together.” Notably, the intensity of the brighter of the two lights, according to one observer, “would have put many a lighthouse to shame,” seemingly indicating a manufactured source for the illumination.

    The crew was unable to identify the source of this light, although the incident described here was not the only time it was observed. According to the Marine Observer report, “two previous voyages had been to Brazil and France and the lights were observed on every occasion near the equator; they were identical in every way, but in the previous encounters the lights, both dim and bright, were more numerous.”

    Reports of unusual luminous phenomena, especially those which occur at sea, are fairly common in scientific literature, and many can be easily attributed to bioluminescence and other identifiable causes. However, the descriptions of “flashing” lights, as provided here, are far from typical in almost any case, land or sea. The source of such illuminations could certainly still be mundane, although a few of the more unusual reports like these may also represent some unique variety of natural phenomenon… and one which, at present, remains undetermined.
