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.

    Skelet van 13-jarig meisje maakt mysterie rondom Egyptische piramide nog groter - HLN.be

    Bron: Live Science, Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities

    Het meisje was vermoedelijk 13 jaar oud en lag in foetushouding in de graftombe in Meidoem.

     Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities 
    Het meisje was vermoedelijk 13 jaar oud en lag in foetushouding in de graftombe in Meidoem.
     In Egypte hebben archeologen het skelet van een 13-jarig meisje ontdekt dat vlakbij een mysterieuze piramide begraven lag. Het meisje lag in foetushouding in de lege tombe van een oude begraafplaats. 

    De piramide vlakbij de begraafplaats is zo’n 4.600 jaar oud – net als het meisje - en bevindt zich in Meidoem, een plaats ten westen van de Nijl in Egypte.

    Het meisje lag moederziel alleen in de graftombe, al vonden de archeologen in de rest van het grafmonument wat meer attributen waaronder twee dierenhoofden (waarschijnlijk afkomstig van stieren) en versierde vazen. Vermoedelijk gaat het om offers, maar of die voor het jonge meisje bestemd waren, betwijfelen de onderzoekers. Verder nog werden de restanten van een stenen muur gevonden. Waarschijnlijk scheidde die muur de begraafplaats van het volk duidelijk af van de potentiële graftombe van de farao.

    Mysterieuze piramide

    De piramide in Meidoem is al vaker onderwerp van archeologisch onderzoek geweest. Dat onderzoek kon slechts een tipje van de sluier lichten. Wat archeologen (vrijwel) zeker weten, is dat de piramide gebouwd werd in opdracht van farao Snofroe. Die farao liet tijdens zijn heerschappij maar liefst vier piramides bouwen, waarvan twee grote en twee kleinere. Dat zijn er uitzonderlijk veel. Archeologen konden nog geen concreet antwoord formuleren op de vraag waarom hij dat deed. Met vallen en opstaan, testte de farao vermoedelijk de beste manier uit om een mooie graftombe te bouwen.

    De piramide van Meidoem lijkt die theorie te bevestigen. De piramide werd eerst als trappenpiramide gebouwd, het geheel had dus de vorm van een trap. Het getrapte uitzicht van de piramide transformeerde doorheen de tijd tot een ‘echte piramide’ met gladde oppervlaktes die over de trappen gebouwd werden. Waarom en hoe dat precies gebeurde, is niet duidelijk.

    Wat er overblijft van de piramide in Meidoem is een torentje en wat puin.

    Wat er overblijft van de piramide in Meidoem is een torentje en wat puin.

    Oorspronkelijk was de piramide zo’n 93 meter hoog. Het glorieuze complex stortte echter in waardoor er momenteel slechts een torentje en wat puin te ‘bewonderen’ is. 

    Grootste piramidebouwer

    Farao – en berucht piramidebouwer – Snofroe zou trouwens een uitstekende leermeester zijn geweest. Hij was immers de vader van farao Cheops. Die slaagde erin om ’s werelds grootste en bekendste piramides (piramides van Gizeh) te bouwen.

    Er werden in de graftombe ook dierenhoofden teruggevonden, vermoedelijk zijn die afkomstig van stieren.

    Lost village 2,000 years old found hidden in dense ‘virgin’ forest

    EWAN JONES 

    The archeologists from Toruń made the stunning discovery in northern Poland using Aerial Laser Scanning which revealed an entire estate hidden in the heavily forested region.
    J. Czerniec

    Archeologists have uncovered a completely intact ancient village, the only one of its kind in Europe, dating back almost 2,000 years.

    The stunning discovery in northern Poland revealed farming land complete with boundary strips, homesteads, buildings and even roads.

    Hidden in dense forests in the Bory Tucholskie region, the area is one of the least explored by archeologists.

    The discovery revealed farming land complete with boundary strips, homesteads, buildings and even roads.

    M. Jankowski

    Archeologist Mateusz Sosnowski from the NCU (Nicolaus Copernicus University) Institute of Archeology in Toruń told PAP: "When it comes to research, it was virgin territory.

    “It was a great surprise to discover there not only individual elements of a former settlement, but also its surroundings: fields surrounding the hamlet, traces of single homesteads and even tracts connecting them probable with other settlements."

    The remains come from the first centuries of the modern era, Sosnowski and fellow reasearcher who made the discovery, Jerzy Czerniec, believe.

    Archeologist Mateusz Sosnowski from the NCU (Nicolaus Copernicus University) Institute of Archeology in Toruń said:  "When it comes to research, it was virgin territory. We have an entire estate together with its surrounding farmland in the form of fields and pastures, where all the elements come from the same period. It's unique!" 

    Mateusz Sosnowski

    Sosnowski explained that the discovery is unique because archeologists usually only discover individual elements of settlements or other constructions left over from the activities of ancient people.

    Such discoveries usually occur during the building of houses or roads and the digs are rescue efforts. As a result, research is limited to a small area.

    In such cases there is also not usually an opportunity to search more widely to see whether there are other remains or interesting artefacts in the vicinity.

    Sosnowski explained: "Here we have an entirely different situation.

    "We have tracked down unknown traces of an ancient Bory Tucholskie settlement. It's not a matter of one house or a fragment of a settlement.

    “We have an entire estate together with its surrounding farmland in the form of fields and pastures, where all the elements come from the same period. It's unique!"

    The remains come from the first century of the modern era, researchers believe.

    M. Jankowski

    The archeologists discovered the find using Aerial Laser Scanning (ALS), a tool ever more frequently used by researchers.

    As part of a project aimed at creating anti-flood defences among other things, the whole of Poland was covered. ALS enables very thorough inspection of territory, even if it is overgrown with forest and the differences in height are invisible to the naked eye, as was the case in Bory Tucholskie.

    The settlement together with its surrounding fields covers an area of over 170 hectares and the fields are surprisingly regular.

    Sosnowski said: "Their shape brings to mind the three-field system of farming, known in Poland only from the middle ages. Was it already in use several hundred years earlier? we hope our research will answer that question."

    Archaeologists Uncover 2,000-Year-Old Village Hidden In A Forest

    Archaeologists uncovered an ancient village dating back almost 2,000 years hidden in the dense forest in the northern part of Poland. Surprisingly enough, the village was completely intact and is believed to be the first of its kind ever to be discovered in all of Europe. It was found in the very dense forests in the region of Bory Tucholskie which is one of the less explored areas by archaeologists.

    The discovery of the ancient village included buildings, homesteads, boundary strips, and roads. Mateusz Sosnowski, who is an archaeologist from the NCU (Nicolaus Copernicus University) Institute of Archaeology in Toruń, provided further details on the discovery, “It was a great surprise to discover there not only individual elements of a former settlement, but also its surroundings: fields surrounding the hamlet, traces of single homesteads and even tracts connecting them probable with other settlements.”

    Forest in Poland

    Sosnowski, along with another researcher named Jerzy Czerniec, believe that the settlement dates back to the first centuries of the modern era.

    While the majority of discoveries include only individual findings of ancient settlements, such as the remains of an old building, etc…, this discovery is quite unique. “Here we have an entirely different situation,” Sosnowski explained, “We have tracked down unknown traces of an ancient Bory Tucholskie settlement. It’s not a matter of one house or a fragment of a settlement. We have an entire estate together with its surrounding farmland in the form of fields and pastures, where all the elements come from the same period. It’s unique!”

    The ancient village was found by using Aerial Laser Scanning (ALS) which researchers use quite often. Since the forests are so dense, the village would have been invisible from the ground, and that’s why the discovery using the extremely thorough ALS is such an incredible find. The settlement, as well as the surrounding farmland, covered more than 170 hectares of land.

    Forest in Poland

    Quite a few of the archaeological discoveries that have been previously found around the Polish village are thought to be from the modern era or maybe even during the Middle Ages. Sosnowski described the formation of the newly discovered ancient village by saying, “Their shape brings to mind the three-field system of farming, known in Poland only from the Middle Ages. Was it already in use several hundred years earlier? We hope our research will answer that question.”

    Secret Rocket Launches and A Mysterious Vapor Trail in England

    With the eyes of the world’s superpowers turned towards space in search of new war-fighting domains, more and more aerospace mysteries keep stacking up. Further evidence of clandestine rocket launches was found in England this week as a witness managed to catch a picture of a mysterious “spiral-shaped cloud” which looks an awful lot like a rocket’s vapor trail, implying that someone in the UK may be putting spacecraft into space on the sly. David Hargrave from Sidbury Hill on Salisbury Plain says he was walking his dog around 5:00 pm local time last Tuesday, February 5 when he spotted the strange cloud and, luckily for us, had the presence of mind to snap a compelling picture of the event.

    Despite witnessing the event first-hand, Hargrave says he has no idea what the picture may show:

    I haven’t got a clue what it is either – hopefully someone out there will have an answer. I saw it when walking the dogs, looking up and seeing the smoke-like air go up vertically. As it got dark we were then no longer able to see it. It is a mystery.

    The cloud in the photograph glows red in the setting sun appears to rise out of the ground in what Hargrave says is the direction of Westbury along the northwestern edge of the Salisbury Plain. Nearly half of the plain is taken up by Defence Training Estate Salisbury Plain (DTE SP), a military training area which includes the Boscombe Down experimental airbase and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down, one of the United Kingdom’s most secretive military research facilities.

    Rocket launch

    If secret rockets were being launched in the UK, chances are high they could be launched from one of these facilities. However, The London Economic reports that neither the nearby University of Bristol nor the Ministry of Defence claim to know anything about the mysterious vapor trail. Publicly, that is.

    Still, the vapor trail in these photos quite strongly resembles other images of known rocket launches and while the official silence surrounding the mysterious cloud is unusual, it’s not unprecedented. Evidence of seemingly secret “black” launchesis being caught on camera around the world with increasing frequency even as government officials deny knowledge of the obvious

    Literally every nation’s government right now.

    What’s going on in space that’s requires so much secrecy? Do we really want to know? Furthermore, who owns the air above us? Should governments or private aerospace corporations be allowed to launch whatever they want into the air above our heads without the public’s consent?

    “When you join the ‘*** Community,’ which happens automatically if you applied as a candidate, they start giving you points. You get points for getting through each round of the selection process… and then the only way to get more points is to buy merchandise from *** or to donate money to them.”

    Without knowing the name of the group running this “community,” you might say it resembles a multi-level marketing program. When you find out this statement is from someone who was a finalist for Mars One, the private Dutch organization promoting the idea of building a permanent human colony on the Red Planet, you realize this was more of a multi-level Martian-ing scheme. And “scheme” seems to be the operative words as the news hit this week that the for-profit arm of Mars One was declared bankrupt in January. The “finalists” may have lost all of their money, but at least they didn’t breathe their final breath while stuck on Mars.

    “”By decision of 15 January 2019, the Civil Court of the City of Basel declared the company bankrupt with effect from 15 January 2019, 3.37 p.m., thus dissolving it.”

    “The company” was Mars One Ventures, the Swiss-based for-profit arm of Mars One, which was valued at $100 million. That’s not much, considering the company formed in 2012 by Dutch entrepreneur Dutch entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp claimed to need $6 billion to meet its mission statement: “Human settlement of Mars is the next giant leap for humankind. Exploring the solar system as a united humanity will bring us all closer together.”

    Line up by how much you donated.

    Then there was the real big flashing neon warning sign – Mars One proposed to turn the whole application process, training program and trip to Mars into a giant reality TV show that was alleged (there’s that word again) to be run by the creators of the Big Brother franchise. As Howie Mandel likes to say on his show with the models carrying briefcases – no deal.

    And yet, Mars One did have some investors and volunteers who bought the pitch (and the starter kit) but not the old adage: “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Engadget points out that it was obvious from the start that the money needed to fund a reality TV show was far less than one rocket launch and even if it made it to Mars, a group of scientists at MIT who studied the plan said it would quickly kill off the colonists … not exactly good for ratings.

    It seemed like a good idea at the time.

    What will happen now? Here’s the answer from the latest Mars One press release:

    Once out of administration, Mars One will redirect its focus. For the execution of the actual voyage to Mars, the company will continue to seek strategic collaboration with renowned companies and organizations involved with the travel to Mars. Mars One itself will focus on the even more inspiring “being there”, the adventurous story of humans actually living on Mars, making The Red Planet their new home. Utilizing its new investment plan, Mars One Ventures will establish a marketing machine, creating continuous content about these activities, evaluated from all angles, including technological, psychological, economical, and ethical aspects. The new investor will present its plans at a press conference on Wednesday, March 6, 2019, at a location to be determined.

    Being there? Forget Mars. Let’s see what “investor plans on “being there” March 6.

    Berwyn Mountains

    Investigating a Tale of a Crashed UFO

    “So, what do you think about the Berwyn Mountains UFO crash?” I was recently asked. The strange affair in question dates back to 1974 and the mountains of North Wales. And, it’s now time for me to answer that opening question. Back in the 1996-1999 period, when UFOs were all-dominating on the  newsstands of the U.K., and when Mulder and Scully were still flying high, much page space was devoted to a strange and genuinely intriguing event that had occurred on a Welsh mountain one dark, winter night in January 1974. For many people of a “The Truth Is Out There” persuasion (in the 1990s, at least), this curious affair was seen as being nothing less than a potential “British Roswell” – or a “Welsh Roswell” would be far more accurate. Stories of whistle-blower testimony collectively suggested that perhaps an alien spacecraft had crashed on North Wales’ Berwyns Mountains range. The craft and crew were said to have been retrieved undercover of the utmost secrecy by elements of the British military and government. And, I have to admit, that at the time in question (’96-’99) I was a fully paid up member of the “I Want To Believe” club, and I gave space to the incident in my books A Covert Agenda. I was most certainly not against the idea that E.T. might have really crashed and burned on the Berwyns all those years ago. But, times and minds change.

    It was, as the ’90s breathed their last, that Andy Roberts (to some – including me – a genuine Fortean sleuth, to others a spoiler of ufological fun, and to more than a few, a tool of disinformation agents in the government…YAWN) came along with a preliminary paper on the Berwyns affair. Andy suggested that the Berwyn affair was nothing more than the result of mistaken identity, coupled with a localized earthquake and a meteor shower – on the same night and in approximately the same time-frame. Of course, the true-believers moaned that Andy was following some nefarious agenda, courtesy of the Men in Black – the dreaded “them,” in other words. And, those of a different persuasion gave Andy a collective pat on the back. Especially so when Andy’s book UFO Down? was published.

    I have to say, that – given the fact that UFO Down? still represents the only full-length book on the case – Andy did an excellent job of finally digging deep into the many and varied complexities of the affair and coming to a satisfying conclusion. Interestingly, though, it actually leaves the door open to one or two potentially Fortean anomalies having played some sort of presently-unclear role in the case. But, with that said, Andy’s was an excellent study of how and why myths, legends and rumors all played roles in carefully creating and nurturing an admittedly fascinating series of separate events into the tale of a crashed spacecraft from a far-away world.

    Easily worthy of a case for Holmes and Watson – and, particularly so given its ingredients of a dark, imposing and windswept mountain-range; little isolated villages; “phantom helicopters” prowling the moonlit skies; claims of deep and dark secrets; and shadowy and sinister Men in Black-like figures said to be roaming the landscape by day and night – the Berwyn story is one that is truly as fascinating as it is one filled with wild twists and turns. All that’s missing is a ghostly black hound with glowing red eyes! Packed with accounts of strange lights on the mountain, an alleged heavy British Army presence, alien bodies recovered at the “crash” site, meteorites, earth tremors, ghost-lights, official files and more, this is a book that anyone and everyone interested in UFOs (and particularly tales of crashed UFOs) should acquire a copy of at the earliest opportunity.

    UFO Down? demonstrates how an investigation of such an event should be undertaken, even if the conclusions aren’t what some solely belief-driven souls wish to hear. Well, too bad. Andy went to the places, spoke to the witnesses, chased down the government files, and traveled to where the evidence led him. And, if and when someone else decides to do likewise and comes to a different conclusion, then I’ll take a look at that evidence in its own right. But, right now, we have in my opinion a first-class, true-life detective-style story that tells the truth of the Berwyn affair (or, as close to the truth as we’re likely to get) and reveals its complexities to the extent that we’re able to.

    Crashed UFO-themed books are filled with tales of Hangar 18, alien bodies on ice, and extraterrestrial autopsies. UFO Down?is a very different addition to the field of crashed UFO titles, but in a refreshing, welcome and – most important of all – informative and illuminating fashion. Whatever your views on all things saucer-shaped and crashed, you should buy this book. You will learn a lot – about those aforementioned crashed UFOs, but also about why and how the British UFO research community of the 1990s arguably needed its very own Roswell, and how and why belief systems and eyewitness perception may be the most important facets of certain, challenging, alleged UFO events.

    Lightning Appears to Play Mysterious Role in Protecting Life on Earth

    Could lightning have literally been the ‘spark’ which ignited all life here on Earth? New bizarre-sounding research published by scientists at Tel Aviv University has found that lightning may give off a unique type of extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic field which actually serves to protect the cells of living organisms. While these fields are quite weak and difficult to detect, scientists think they already have enough data to show the lightning may be one of the key factors which allowed or helped life to flourish on our mysterious planet.

    Lightning is known to create what are known as Schumann resonances, a phenomenon in which the Earth’s electromagnetic field resonates at very low frequencies due to the lightning activity worldwide. According to Professor Colin Price of Tel Aviv University’s Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, this new study is among the first to find a connection between lightning and the electromagnetic fields of living things:

    It is the first study that demonstrates a link between global lighting activity and the Schumann Resonances and the activity of living cells. It may explain why all living organisms have electrical activity in the same ELF spectral range, and it is the first time such a connection has been shown. This may have some therapeutic implications down the line, since these ELF fields appear to protect cells from damage, but this requires further research.

    Researchers found that environmental electromagnetic fields can actually protect cells under stress conditions such as a lack of oxygen. Cells in these stress states seem to respond to the types of electromagnetic resonances given off by lightning activity in ways that suggest these fields can help reduce the damage cells experience while under stress.

    While on one hand this study provides one more fascinating hint that all things living and non-living on Earth may be more connected than we know, it also may foreshadow future therapies which harness these mysterious effects of electromagnetic fields. It’s already suspected that the electromagnetic fields given off by today’s telecom devices may be affecting living things in harmful ways, so it makes sense that natural electromagnetic fields may likewise be able to affect living cells. Much more data is needed before definitive conclusions can be drawn about this phenomenon, but if confirmed, it may demonstrate that electromagnetic energy plays a vital role in the natural processes of living things. Could lightning be a vital part of life on Earth?

    I’m also left to wonder if perhaps ancient cultures were aware of this phenomenon given some of the claims made about the pyramids and electromagnetic radiation. Could the pyramids have been healing centers?

    Be Aware of The Archons The Secret Controllers of the Human Race

    Many people have heard the term “Archon” but would be hard-pressed to define it. What is an Archon?

    The Archons are a genuine species with their own proper habitat, but they have a nasty tendency to stray from their boundaries and intrude on the human realm.


    Archons are said to feel intense envy toward humanity because we possess the intentionality they lack. They are are type of collective unconscious energy forces with the intention of keeping humanity asleep. They are hidden negative controllers of humankind.

    Archons were brought into our Universe by space-faring travelers from our Universe who violated an injunction against venturing through a wormhole/stargate to a dark Universe populated by Archons.

    The real danger they pose to humanity is not invasion of the planet but invasion of the mind. They access human consciousness through telepathy and simulation. They infect our imagination and use the power of make-believe for deception and confusion and if humanity falls under the illusion of superhuman power, it becomes as good as real, a self-fulfilling delusion.

    A Millennium Falcon shaped UFO appeared over a home this week in Calgary, Canada. The UFOs dark silhouette really stands out as its position causes a gapping hole in the cloud floor. The UFO itself is most likely cloaked, however the UFO still has mass and that mass is pushing aside the clouds its using to hide in. I also wonder if the eyewitness looked up because they had an intuition...or feeling of being told to look up. This often occurs when eyewitness are this close to UFOs late at night or early morning.

    This glowing orb was caught by an eyewitness who was watching the live Internet cam of the space station. The UFO is not a perfect circle, but lumpy and uneven. The dark center could be a window or viewing area for the pilots on it. This isn't the moon, because the moon is much larger, more clear and easy to make out. It could be a top secret military craft for the USA or Russia that comes near the orbit of the space station, but its shape is very odd, unlike most satellites. I would therefore conclude that it is very likely an alien craft investigating the space station.

    Date of discovery: February 13, 2019
    Location of discovery: Mars, Sol 2318
    Photo:
    Here is something you don't see everyday. The newest Mars Curiosity rover photos shows a hand size tooth fossil near its wheels. Anyone who has ever found or bought or found fossils would recognize this right away. It can't be a coincidence that the rover stopped right in front of the fossil. Its just too obvious. I myself own two...one is a 7 inch Megaladon shark tooth and another 2.5 inch Megaladon baby tooth, but I also have many other fossils. When I saw this recent Mars photo I just knew instantly what it was. 
     
    By looking at the tooth we do know a few facts about the animal. First off its sharp, which means its a meat eater...a carnivore. Second its hand size...so that means its at least of a Megaladon shark here on Earth...thats about 17-18 meters, but it may have been a land animal so could be about 20-30% smaller than that. Was this an intelligent aliens tooth, probably not, most likely just a prehistoric period of Mars...far before any intelligent life even came about.

    Crop circle

    A crop circle or crop formation is a pattern created by flattening a crop, usually a cereal. The term was first coined in the early 1980s by Colin Andrews. Crop circles have been described as all falling “within the range of the sort of thing done in hoaxes” by Taner Edis, professor of physics at Truman State University.

    Aerial view of crop circles in Switzerland

    Although obscure natural causes or alien origins of crop circles are suggested by fringe theorists, there is no scientific evidence for such explanations, and all crop circles are consistent with human causation. A person who studies crop circles is known as a cereologist.
    The number of crop circles has substantially increased from the 1970s to current times. There has been little scientific study of them. Circles in the United Kingdom are not distributed randomly across the landscape but appear near roads, areas of medium to dense population and cultural heritage monuments, such as Stonehenge or Avebury. In 1991, two hoaxers, Bower and Chorley, took credit for having created many circles throughout England after one of their circles was described by a circle investigator as impossible to be made by human hand.

    Formations are usually created overnight, although some are reported to have appeared during the day. In contrast to crop circles or crop formations, archaeological remains can cause cropmarks in the fields in the shapes of circles and squares, but they do not appear overnight, and they are always in the same places every year.

    History
    The concept of “crop circles” began with the original late-1970s hoaxes by Doug Bower and Dave Chorley (see Bower and Chorley, below). They said that they were inspired by the Tully “saucer nest” case in Australia, where a farmer claimed to first have seen a UFO, then found a flattened circle of swamp reeds.

    Before the 20th century
    A 1678 news pamphlet The Mowing-Devil: or, Strange News Out of Hartfordshire is claimed by some cereologists to be the first depiction of a crop circle. Crop circle researcher Jim Schnabel does not consider it to be a historical precedent because it describes the stalks as being cut rather than bent.
    In 1686, British naturalist Robert Plot reported on rings or arcs of mushrooms in The Natural History of Stafford-Shire and proposed air flows from the sky as a cause. In 1991 meteorologist Terence Meaden linked this report with modern crop circles, a claim that has been compared with those made by Erich von Däniken.

    An 1880 letter to the editor of Nature by amateur scientist John Rand Capron describes how a recent storm had created several circles of flattened crops in a field.

    20th century
    In 1932, archaeologist E C Curwen observed four dark rings in a field at Stoughton Down near Chichester, but could examine only one: “a circle in which the barley was ‘lodged’ or beaten down, while the interior area was very slightly mounded up.”

    In 1963, amateur astronomer Patrick Moore described a crater in a potato field in Wiltshire, which he considered was probably caused by an unknown meteoric body. In nearby wheat fields, there were several circular and elliptical areas where the wheat had been flattened. There was evidence of “spiral flattening”. He thought they could be caused by air currents from the impact, since they led towards the crater. Astronomer Hugh Ernest Butler observed similar craters and said they were likely caused by lightning strikes.

    In the 1960s, in Tully, Queensland, Australia, and in Canada, there were many reports of UFO sightings and circular formations in swamp reeds and sugar cane fields. For example, on 8 August 1967, three circles were found in a field in Duhamel, Alberta, Canada; Department of National Defence investigators concluded that it was artificial but couldn’t say who made them or how. The most famous case is the 1966 Tully “saucer nest”, when a farmer said he witnessed a saucer-shaped craft rise 30 or 40 feet (12 m) from a swamp and then fly away. On investigating he found a nearly circular area 32 feet long by 25 feet wide where the grass was flattened in clockwise curves to water level within the circle, and the reeds had been uprooted from the mud. The local police officer, the Royal Australian Air Force, and the University of Queensland concluded that it was most probably caused by natural causes, like a down draught, a willy-willy (dust devil), or a waterspout. In 1973, G.J. Odgers, Director of Public Relations, Department of Defence (Air Office), wrote to a journalist that the “saucer” was probably debris lifted by the causing willy-willy. Hoaxers Bower and Chorley said they were inspired by this case to start making the modern crop circles that appear today.

    Since the 1960s, there had been a surge of UFOlogists in Wiltshire, and there were rumours of “saucer nests” appearing in the area, but they were never photographed. There are other pre-1970s reports of circular formations, especially in Australia and Canada, but they were always simple circles, which could have been caused by whirlwinds. In Fortean Times David Wood reported that in 1940 he had already made crop circles near Gloucestershire using ropes. In 1997, the Oxford English Dictionary recorded the earliest usage of the term “crop circles” in a 1988 issue of Journal of Meteorology, referring to a BBC film. The coining of the term “crop circle” is attributed to Colin Andrews in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

    The majority of reports of crop circles have appeared in and spread since the late 1970s as many circles began appearing throughout the English countryside. This phenomenon became widely known in the late 1980s, after the media started to report crop circles in Hampshire and Wiltshire. After Bower’s and Chorley’s 1991 statement that they were responsible for many of them, circles started appearing all over the world. To date, approximately 10,000 crop circles have been reported internationally, from locations such as the former Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, Japan, the U.S., and Canada. Sceptics note a correlation between crop circles, recent media coverage, and the absence of fencing and/or anti-trespassing legislation.

    Although farmers expressed concern at the damage caused to their crops, local response to the appearance of crop circles was often enthusiastic, with locals taking advantage of the increase of tourism and visits from scientists, crop circle researchers, and individuals seeking spiritual experiences. The market for crop-circle interest consequently generated bus or helicopter tours of circle sites, walking tours, T-shirts, and book sales.

    21st century
    Since the start of the 21st century, crop formations have increased in size and complexity, with some featuring as many as 2,000 different shapes and some incorporating complex mathematical and scientific characteristics.
    The researcher Jeremy Northcote found that crop circles in the UK in 2002 were not spread randomly across the landscape. They tended to appear near roads, areas of medium-to-dense population, and cultural heritage monuments such as Stonehenge or Avebury. He found that they always appeared in areas that were easy to access. This suggests strongly that these crop circles were more likely to be caused by intentional human action than by paranormal activity. Another strong indication of that theory was that inhabitants of the zone with the most circles had a historical tendency for making large-scale formations, including stone circles such as Stonehenge, burial mounds such as Silbury Hill, long barrows such as West Kennet Long Barrow, and white horses in chalk hills.

    Bower and Chorley
    In 1991, self-professed pranksters Doug Bower and Dave Chorley made headlines claiming it was they who started the phenomenon in 1978 with the use of simple tools consisting of a plank of wood, rope, and a baseball cap fitted with a loop of wire to help them walk in a straight line. To prove their case they made a circle in front of journalists; a “cereologist” (advocate of paranormal explanations of crop circles), Pat Delgado, examined the circle and declared it authentic before it was revealed that it was a hoax. Inspired by Australian crop circle accounts from 1966, Bower and Chorley claimed to be responsible for all circles made prior to 1987, and for more than 200 crop circles in 1978–1991 (with 1000 other circles not being made by them). After their announcement, the two men demonstrated making a crop circle. According to Professor Richard Taylor, “the pictographs they created inspired a second wave of crop artists. Far from fizzling out, crop circles have evolved into an international phenomenon, with hundreds of sophisticated pictographs now appearing annually around the globe.”

    Smithsonian magazine wrote:

    Since Bower and Chorley’s circles appeared, the geometric designs have escalated in scale and complexity, as each year teams of anonymous circle-makers lay honey traps for New Age tourists.

    Art and business

    A crop circle with the logo of Swedish Railways.

    Since the early 1990s, the UK arts collective Circlemakers, founded by artists Rod Dickinson and John Lundberg (and subsequently including artists Wil Russell and Rob Irving), have been creating crop circles in the UK and around the world as part of their art practice and for commercial clients.

    The Led Zeppelin boxed set that was released on 7 September 1990, along with the remasters of the first boxed set, as well as the second boxed set, all feature an image of a crop circle that appeared in East Field in Alton Barnes, Wiltshire.

    On the night of 11–12 July 1992, a crop-circle making competition with a prize of £3,000 (funded in part by the Arthur Koestler Foundation) was held in Berkshire. The winning entry was produced by three Westland Helicopters engineers, using rope, PVC pipe, a plank, string, a telescopic device and two stepladders. According to Rupert Sheldrake, the competition was organised by him and John Michell and “co-sponsored by The Guardian and The Cerealogist”. The prize money came from PM, a German magazine. Sheldrake wrote that “The experiment was conclusive. Humans could indeed make all the features of state-of-the-art crop formations at that time. Eleven of the twelve teams made more or less impressive formations that followed the set design.”

    In 2002, Discovery Channel commissioned five aeronautics and astronautics graduate students from MIT to create crop circles of their own, aiming to duplicate some of the features claimed to distinguish “real” crop circles from the known fakes such as those created by Bower and Chorley. The creation of the circle was recorded and used in the Discovery Channel documentary Crop Circles: Mysteries in the Fields.

    In 2009, The Guardian reported that crop circle activity had been waning around Wiltshire, in part because makers preferred creating promotional crop circles for companies that paid well for their efforts.

    A video sequence used in connection with the opening of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London showed two crop circles in the shape of the Olympic rings. Another Olympic crop circle was visible to passengers landing at nearby Heathrow Airport before and during the Games.

    A 7-acre (2.8-hectare) crop circle depicting the emblem of the Star Wars Rebel Alliance was created in California in December 2017 by an 11-year-old boy as a spaceport for X-wing fighters.

    Legal implications
    In 1992, Hungarian youths Gábor Takács and Róbert Dallos, both then 17, were the first people to face legal action after creating a crop circle. Takács and Dallos, of the St. Stephen Agricultural Technicum, a high school in Hungary specializing in agriculture, created a 36-metre (118ft) diameter crop circle in a wheat field near Székesfehérvár, 43 miles (69 km) southwest of Budapest, on June 8, 1992. On September 3, the pair appeared on Hungarian TV and exposed the circle as a hoax, showing photos of the field before and after the circle was made. As a result, Aranykalász Co., the owners of the land, sued the teens for 630,000 Ft (~$3,000 USD) in damages. The presiding judge ruled that the students were only responsible for the damage caused in the circle itself, amounting to about 6,000 Ft (~$30 USD), and that 99% of the damage to the crops was caused by the thousands of visitors who flocked to Székesfehérvár following the media’s promotion of the circle. The fine was eventually paid by the TV show, as were the students’ legal fees.

    In 2000, Matthew Williams became the first man in the UK to be arrested for causing criminal damage after making a crop circle near Devizes. In November 2000, he was fined £100 and £40 in costs. As of 2008, no one else has been successfully prosecuted in the UK for criminal damage caused by creating crop circles.

    Creation

    Detail of a crop circle in a field in Switzerland

    The scientific consensus on crop circles is that they are constructed by human beings as hoaxes, advertising, or art. The most widely known method for a person or group to construct a crop formation is to tie one end of a rope to an anchor point and the other end to a board which is used to crush the plants. Sceptics of the paranormal point out that all characteristics of crop circles are fully compatible with their being made by hoaxers.

    Bower and Chorley confessed in 1991 to making the first crop circles in southern England. When some people refused to believe them, they deliberately added straight lines and squares to show that they could not have natural causes. In a copycat effect, increasingly complex circles started appearing in many countries around the world, including fractal figures. Physicists have suggested that the most complex formations might be made with the help of GPS and lasers. In 2009, a circle formation was made over the course of three consecutive nights and was apparently left unfinished, with some half-made circles.

    The main criticism of alleged non-human creation of crop circles is that while evidence of these origins, besides eyewitness testimonies, is essentially absent, some are definitely known to be the work of human pranksters, and others can be adequately explained as such. There have been cases in which researchers declared crop circles to be “the real thing”, only to be confronted with the people who created the circle and documented the fraud, like Bower and Chorley and tabloid Today hoaxing Pat Delgado, the Wessex Sceptics and Channel 4’s Equinox hoaxing Terence Meaden, or a friend of a Canadian farmer hoaxing a field researcher of the Canadian Crop Circle Research Network. In his 1997 book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, Carl Sagan concludes that crop circles were created by Bower and Chorley and their copycats, and speculates that Ufologist’s willingly ignore the evidence for hoaxing so they can keep believing in an extraterrestrial origin of the circles. Many others have demonstrated how complex crop circles can be created. Scientific American published an article by Matt Ridley, who started making crop circles in northern England in 1991. He wrote about how easy it is to develop techniques using simple tools that can easily fool later observers. He reported on “expert” sources such as The Wall Street Journal, who had been easily fooled and mused about why people want to believe supernatural explanations for phenomena that are not yet explained. Methods of creating a crop circle are now well documented on the Internet.

    Some crop formations are paid for by companies who use them as advertising. Many crop circles show human symbols, like the heart and arrow symbol of love, stereotyped alien faces, Hoaxers have been caught in the process of making new circles, such as in 2004 in the Netherlands for example.

    Advocates of non-human causes discount on-site evidence of human involvement as attempts to discredit the phenomena. Some even argue a conspiracy theory, with governments planting evidence of hoaxing to muddle the origins of the circles. When Ridley wrote negative articles in newspapers, he was accused of spreading “government disinformation” and of working for the UK military intelligence service MI5. Ridley responded by noting that many cereologists make good livings from selling books and providing high-priced personal tours through crop fields, and he claimed that they have vested interests in rejecting what is by far the most likely explanation for the circles.

    Alternative explanations
    Weather

    It has been suggested that crop circles may be the result of extraordinary meteorological phenomena ranging from freak tornadoes to ball lightning, but there is no evidence of any crop circle being created by any of these causes.

    In 1880, an amateur scientist, John Rand Capron, wrote a letter to the editor of journal Nature about some circles in crops and blamed them on a recent storm, saying their shape was “suggestive of some cyclonic wind action”.

    In 1980, Terence Meaden, a meteorologist and physicist, proposed that the circles were caused by whirlwinds whose course was affected by southern England hills. As circles became more complex, Terence had to create increasingly complex theories, blaming an electromagneto-hydrodynamic “plasma vortex”. The meteorological theory became popular, and it was even referenced in 1991 by physicist Stephen Hawking who said that, “Corn circles are either hoaxes or formed by vortex movement of air”. The weather theory suffered a serious blow in 1991, but Hawking’s point about hoaxes was supported when Bower and Chorley stated that they had been responsible for making all those circles. By the end of 1991 Meaden conceded that those circles that had complex designs were made by hoaxers.

    Paranormal

    Sketch of a “spaceship” creating crop circles, sent to UK Ministry of Defence circa 1998.

    Since becoming the focus of widespread media attention in the 1980s, crop circles have become the subject of speculation by various paranormal, ufological, and anomalistic investigators ranging from proposals that they were created by bizarre meteorological phenomena to messages from extraterrestrial beings. There has also been speculation that crop circles have a relation to ley lines. Many New Age groups incorporate crop circles into their belief systems.

    Some paranormal advocates think that crop circles are caused by ball lighting and that the patterns are so complex that they have to be controlled by some entity. Some proposed entities are: Gaia asking to stop global warming and human pollution, God, supernatural beings (for example Indian devas), the collective minds of humanity through a proposed “quantum field”, or extraterrestrial beings.

    Responding to local beliefs that “extraterrestrial beings” in UFOs were responsible for crop circles appearing, the Indonesian National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) described crop circles as “man-made”. Thomas Djamaluddin, research professor of astronomy and astrophysics at LAPAN stated, “We have come to agree that this ‘thing’ cannot be scientifically proven.” Among others, paranormal enthusiasts, ufologist’s, and anomalistic investigators have offered hypothetical explanations that have been criticized as pseudoscientific by sceptical groups and scientists, including the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. No credible evidence of extraterrestrial origin has been presented.

    Animal activity
    In 2009, the attorney general for the island state of Tasmania stated that Australian wallabies had been found creating crop circles in fields of opium poppies, which are grown legally for medicinal use, after consuming some of the opiate-laden poppies and running in circles.

    Changes to crops
    A small number of scientists (physicist Eltjo Haselhoff, the late biophysicist William Levengood) have found differences between the crops inside the circles and outside them, citing this as evidence they were not man-made.

    Levengood published papers in journal Physiologia Plantarum in 1994 and 1999. In his 1994 paper he found that certain deformities in the grain inside the circles were correlated to the position of the grain inside the circle. In 1996 sceptic Joe Nickell objected that correlation is not causation, raised several objections to Levengood’s methods and assumptions, and said “Until his work is independently replicated by qualified scientists doing ‘double-blind’ studies and otherwise following stringent scientific protocols, there seems no need to take seriously the many dubious claims that Levengood makes, including his similar ones involving plants at alleged ‘cattle mutilation’ sites.”.

    A study by Eltjo Haselhoff reported that the pulvini of wheat in 95% of the crop circles investigated were elongated in a pattern falling off with distance from the centre and that seeds from the bent-over plants grew much more slowly under controlled conditions. Furthermore, traces of crop circle patterns are sometimes found in the crop the following year, “suggesting long-term damage to the crop field consistent with Levengood’s observations of stunted seed growth.”

    Magnetism
    In 2000, Colin Andrews, who had researched crop circles for 17 years, stated that while he believed 80% were man-made, he thought the remaining circles, with less elaborate designs, could be explained by a three-degree shift in the Earth’s magnetic field, that creates a current that “electrocutes” the crops, causing them to flatten and form the circle.

    Folklore

    1678 pamphlet on the “Mowing-Devil”.

    Researchers of crop circles have linked modern crop circles to old folkloric tales to support the claim that they are not artificially produced. Circle crops are culture-dependent: they appear mostly in developed and secularized Western countries where people are receptive to New Age beliefs, including Japan, but they don’t appear at all in other zones, such as Muslim countries.

    Fungi can cause circular areas of crop to die, probably the origin of tales of “fairie rings”. Tales also mention balls of light many times but never in relation to crop circles.

    A 17th-century English woodcut called the Mowing-Devil depicts the devil with a scythe mowing (cutting) a circular design in a field of oats. The pamphlet containing the image states that the farmer, disgusted at the wage his mower was demanding for his work, insisted that he would rather have “the devil himself” perform the task. Crop circle researcher Jim Schnabel does not consider this to be a historical precedent for crop circles because the stalks were cut down, not bent. The circular form indicated to the farmer that it had been caused by the devil.

    In the 1948 German story Die zwölf Schwäne (The Twelve Swans), a farmer every morning found a circular ring of flattened grain on his field. After several attempts, his son saw twelve princesses disguised as swans, who took off their disguises and danced in the field. Crop rings produced by fungi may have inspired such tales since folklore holds these rings are created by dancing wolves or fairies.

    Twitter Photo of A NASA Astronaut From ISS Sparks Claims Of UFO Monitoring Space Station

    A former NASA astronaut posted a photo from the ISS that seemed to show a UFO. The picture sent conspiracy theorists into a frenzy.

    Scott Kelly commanded the International Space Station (ISS) on Expedition 26,45 and 46. While he launched in Soyuz TMA-16M on March 27, 2015, he detailed his journey on social media, providing regular updates.

    However, he appeared to snap a photo on board the ISS a small, white object in the top right. Mr Kelly tweeted a picture of India from outer space on November 15. At first glance, the photo shows merely Southern India lit up during the night. However, some space enthusiasts were quick to notice the UFO in the top right of the picture that looked out of place.

    They said that Scott did a great shot of a UFO, but many others quickly debunked the UFO theories. Debunkers noted that the UFO was actually part of the space station. They explained that the High Definition Earth-Viewing System was mounted on the outside of the European Space Agency’s Columbus module and it resembled the same shape to that in the photo.

    However, many others suggested that it was a UFO and these debunkers were just finding ways to cover up the truth or commissioned by NASA to drive away the public to the fact on the existence of aliens and UFOs monitoring the ISS.

    Earthquake WARNING: ‘Huge MEGA-THRUST to strike’ by end of February

    A MEGA-THRUST earthquake could shake our planet to the core in the next few weeks according to a “tremor forecaster”.

    Planetary alignment beginning on Valentine’s Day has some earthquake forecasters on high alert, as they believe a massive “mega-thrust” tremor is on the way. Uranus, Mars, Venus and the sun are all said to be tugging on the Earth, combining to unleash a huge tremor. The planets will have a gravitational tug-of-war across our solar system and will pull from all sides on Earth’s tectonic plates.

    The forecast was made by new age  prediction website Ditrianum, run by researcher Frank Hoogerbeets. He said: “Critical lunar geometry later on the 10th and early 11th has the potential of triggering larger seismic activity, possibly into the mid 6 magnitude range, perhaps even higher.

    “Overall, the second half of February, starting around the 14th is going to be very critical with the potential of a mega-thrust earthquake between the 20th and 28th.”

    Mr Hoogerbeets fails to state where the “earthquake” might hit, but if it were to be a “mega-thrust”, it would surely be devastating for at least one country, if not worldwide.

    The earthquake has "the potential of a mega-thrust earthquake between the 20th and 28th.”

    The Dutch researcher said he reached his conclusion using his Solar System Geometry Index (SSGI) which “is the computation of a dataset for a specific time-frame of values given to specific geometric positions of the planets, the Moon and the Sun”.

    He said: “After three years of observations, it became clear that some planetary geometry in the Solar System clearly tends to cause a seismic increase, while other geometry does not.”

    But experts have consistently rejected Mr Hoogerbeets’ claims, saying that there is no way earthquakes can be predicted.

    John Bellini, a geophysicist at the US Geological Survey (USGS) has said: “We can't predict or forecast earthquakes.

    "Sometimes before a large earthquake you'll have a foreshock or two, but we don't know they're foreshocks until the big one happens.”

    UFO BOMBSHELL: Did the US Pentagon run a UFO program? Declassified document REVEALS all

    THE US military operated a secret UFO research program according to recently unclassified intelligence documents, a top UFO investigator and former Ministry of Defence (MoD) insider has claimed.

    Military intelligence documents describing the US Government's alleged attempts to identify  and extraterrestrial threats have been revealed to the public. The UFO revelation comes with the release of a Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) letter to the US Congress, dated January 9, 2018. The letter, shared with Express.co.uk by former MoD UFO investigator Nick Pope, sheds light onto the US' involvement with UFO research operations. Mr Pope's investigation into the matter supports claims the US investigated extraterrestrial reports under the cover of aerospace defence pretences.

    According to Mr Pope the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which ran from 2002 to 2012 and was first made public in 2017, acted as this cover.

    In his estimate, the DIA document, which he obtained through a Freedom of Information (FoI) act, proves this.

    The UFO expert told Express.co.uk: "Ever since the existence of AATIP was first revealed in December 2017, there's been controversy about its true nature - was it a UFO program, as claimed by some of those involved, or simply a program aimed at assessing far-term aerospace threats, as some sceptics have suggested?

    "Answering that question is difficult because we still have very few official documents about AATIP, but the Defense Intelligence Agency letter to Congress that I recently obtained from the DIA's Office of Corporate Communications gives us some clear pointers.

    UFO news: Pentagon documents reveals UFO program

    UFO news: A UFO expert believes US intelligence ran a covert UFO research program 
    (Image: GETTY/NNICK POPE)

    "In the letter, the DIA describe AATIP's purpose as being 'to investigate foreign advanced aerospace weapon threats from the present out to the next 40 years'.

    "But there's a total disconnect between that statement and the list of 'products produced under the AATIP contract' listed in the letter's attachment. This list sounds like Harry Potter meets Star Trek, with papers on anti-gravity, invisibility cloaking, stargates, warp drive and wormholes.

    "The clincher is a paper on the Drake Equation, which was drawn up in 1961 by the radio astronomer Frank Drake."

    Drake's Equation is a theoretical approximation on the number of intelligent and technologically advanced species throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.

    The equation sets to answer one of the most fundamental questions of existence - are we alone in the universe?

    There's no doubt in my mind that AATIP was researching and investigating UFOs

    Nick Pope, UFO investigator

    But its presence in unclassified military documents seems ill-placed, Mr Pope argued, and suggests AATIP was indeed involved in researching extraterrestrial threats.

    Mr Pope said: "If AATIP was about aerospace threats and not UFOs, where are the papers about Russian and Chinese aircraft, missiles and drones? There aren't any.

    "Taken collectively, the papers look as if they were drawn up to answer a question along the lines of 'if we're being visited by extraterrestrials, what technologies might they be using, and can we figure out these technologies ourselves?'"

    (Image: NICK POPE)

    The DIA letter, addressed to former  Senator John McCain and Senator Jack Reed, outlines the AATIP's research tasks, goals and technologies.

    Among the more bizarre items listed in the letter, are reports of invisibility cloaking research, "Antigravity for Aerospace Applications", "Warp Drive, Dark Energy and the Manipulation of Extra Dimensions" and aforementioned Drake's Equation.

    Mr Pope said: "The US Government seems to have been looking at all this in terms of assessing threats and opportunities, which is exactly what I would expect in an intelligence program of this nature.

    "It's broadly similar to the way we looked at the issue in the Ministry of Defence. Whatever the true nature of the UFO phenomenon, the question is whether or not anything useful can be derived from a better understanding of what we're dealing with.

    "Technology acquisition - including weaponisation - is at the heart of this.

    "Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who was the key figure in getting AATIP set up and funded, spoke to this point in a 2009 letter to the Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn III.

    "He wrote that the 'technological insight and capability gained will provide the US with a distinct advantage over any foreign threats and allow the US to maintain its preeminence as a world leader' while warning that the technologies 'have the potential to be used with catastrophic effects by adversaries'."

    But the one missing piece of the puzzle is the complete lack of the term UFO through both letters - a practice, which is not at all uncommon across government departments investigating such issues.

    The MoD for instance, Mr Pope said, would refer to Unidentified Flying Objects as UPSs - Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon.

    Doing this would "reframe the debate" from associations with science-fiction associations surrounding the concept of UFOs.

    Mr Pope said the pop-cultural baggage surrounding the term UFO is too counterproductive to entertain in a scientific and research environment.

    He said: "While there's no doubt in my mind that AATIP was researching and investigating UFOs, describing the program in aerospace terms makes sense.

    "Part of that may have been an attempt to hide the program, keeping it off the radar with Pentagon financiers looking for cuts, and making it more difficult for journalists and the public to find it using the Freedom of Information Act.

    "That said, there are potential aerospace spin-offs too. As an example, if we can render an aircraft not just stealthy, but literally invisible, there are obvious military benefits.

    "There are potential military applications with a lot of the other things AATIP was looking at too.

    "Nowhere is this more true than in space, which along with cyberspace is probably going to be the key battlespace in any future war."

    The ATTIP was born in 2007 under the direction of Nevada Senator Harry Reid, under the guise of exploring unexplained aerospace threats.

    Between 2002 and 2012, the program received a research budget of £17million ($22million).

    The US public was made aware of the program in 2017 when a number of high profile media outlets, including Politico and The New York Times, reported on it.

    The ATTIP's 38 research initiatives were then revealed to the public on January 16, 2019, following a Freedom of Information request (FoI).

    Oldest mobility: microscopic creature moved around 2 billion years ago

    BY MIHAI ANDREI

    Life on Earth has sure come a long way in the past billion years, but one particular ability may have developed much earlier than we thought: mobility.

    Fossilized traces of motility found in 2.1 billion-year-old rock. Scale bar: 1 cm.

    Unicellular life is clearly successful — it’s been around for more than 3 billion years and it’s still going as strong as ever. But that’s not to say that pluricellular life doesn’t have anything going for it. For starters, it’s immensely more complex and diversified, capable of filling more niches and developing entire ecosystems which would be impossible in the single-celled world.

    Another advantage is mobility — or rather, potential mobility. Not all multicellular life is mobile (take plants for example), but much of it is. Now, researchers have found the earliest evidence of mobility, and it dates from a whopping 2.1 billion years ago.

    Up until recently, paleontologists thought that the earliest multicellular life emerged some 600 million years ago. But geologist Abderrazak El Albani and his team at the Institut de chimie des milieux et matériaux de Poitiers found a geological deposit in Gabon with evidence of multicellular life, dating from 2.1 billion years ago. Now, analyzing fossils from the same deposit, El Albani and colleagues have found traces of mobility, showing that this ancient life was probably much more sophisticated than we gave it credit.

    Micro-tomography is used to display the 3D morphology of tubes reflecting the paths of movement through the sediment. The tubes are filled with pyrite crystals (generated by the transformation by bacteria of biological tissue) found in layers of clay minerals. Parallel horizontal layers are fossilized microbial mats.

    Image credits: A. El Albani.

    More than 2 billion years ago, the world was a much different place than it is today, and one of the most striking differences was the lack of oxygen. Oxygen was only starting to accumulate in the atmosphere only around 2.2 billion years ago. Although it was produced by microorganisms for a long time, it couldn’t build up to any significant degree because of the vast deposits of unoxidized sulfur and iron — only after these sinks had been filled up and all the iron and sulfur oxidized, could the oxygen finally start to build up. The creatures that El Albani found traces of lived at the same time this transition was happening.

    The evidence is a set of sinuous and tubular structures. Their diameter is about a few millimeters, running through what is now fine layers of sedimentary rock. During their lifetime, these creatures inhabited a simple, shallow marine environment. Chemical analysis revealed the biological origin of these structures and that they appeared at the same time the sediment was deposited.

    The traces lie next to fossilized microbial biofilms, which formed thin layers in the sediments. It seems quite likely that the organisms behind this phenomenon moved around for nutritive elements and oxygen — both of which were produced by cyanobacteria.

    So what exactly were these creatures? It’s hard to say. However, researchers suggest they may have been somewhat similar to colonial amoebae. Amoebae are generally single-celled animals, though some multicellular creatures have amoeboid cells. These cells can sometimes live individually, or, when resources are scarce, clump up together, forming a slug-like colony which moves in search of a favorable environment and more resources. This is what researchers believe they have come across — or at least a primitive manifestation of this phenomenon.

    This study also casts an important question about the evolution of this mobility feature: why do we have this big gap, between most findings which date from 0.6 billion years ago, and this one, which dates to 2.1 billion years? Did mobility evolve back then and continuously develop but we just haven’t found traces of it, or was this experiment cut short by an unforgiving environment?

    For now, the jury is still out.

    The study “Organism motility in an oxygenated shallow-marine environment 2.1 billion years ago ” by Abderrazak El Albani et al has been published in PNAS. DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1815721116

    NASA finds a second huge impact crater beneath Greenland’s ice sheet

    A new impact crater has been found under more than a mile of ice in northwest Greenland.

    Scientists didn’t think they would be able to find evidence of ancient impact craters in places such as Greenland or Antarctica, which should have been cleared away by erosion by underlying ice. But, in November, researchers found a huge 30-kilometer-wide crater (19 miles) beneath Greenland’s Hiawatha Glacier. It was the first meteorite impact found beneath an ice sheet, a breakthrough moment in geoscience that combined the latest imaging technologies. Now, researchers report finding an even larger crater beneath Greenland’s thick ice. With a width of 36.5 km (22 miles), if confirmed, the new crater would be the 22nd largest impact crater found on Earth.

    Beneath the ice

    The new site was identified just 183 km (114 miles) from Hiawatha, but, judging from current evidence, the two impacts weren’t likely made during the same time. Both are fairly recent though. Scientists estimate that Hiawatha is no more than three million years old, while the new impact site in northwest Greenland was likely formed by an asteroid impact within the past 2.6 million years. Although it doesn’t have a formal name yet, researchers are considering naming it the Paterson crater, in honor of the late glaciologist Stan Paterson, who helped reconstruct climate data for the past 100,000 years using ice cores from Greenland.

    We’ve surveyed the Earth in many different ways, from land, air, and space—it’s exciting that discoveries like these are still possible,” said Joe MacGregor, a glaciologist with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who made contributions to the discovery of both craters.

    MacGregor was inspired by last year’s discovery to scour topographic maps for more signs of other craters. He eventually noticed a circular pattern in an ice surface map made using data from NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites. His suspicions were confirmed by raw radar data, including those collected by NASA’s Operation IceBridge, which were used to study the topography of the bedrock beneath the ice.

    The images that MacGregor and colleagues assembled show all the hallmarks of an impact crater, including a flat, bowl-shaped depression in the bedrock, surrounded by an elevated rim and centrally located peaks. Measurements also revealed a negative gravity anomaly over the area, which is also characteristic of impact craters.

    The only other circular structure that might approach this size would be a collapsed volcanic caldera,” MacGregor said in a statement. “But the areas of known volcanic activity in Greenland are several hundred miles away. Also, a volcano should have a clear positive magnetic anomaly, and we don’t see that at all.

    Given the proximity of the two craters, it’s plausible that a double asteroid system impacted the area. In order to investigate this possibility, the researchers studied the erosion rates of the two craters. The findings suggest that the new crater is far more eroded than the Hiawatha crater, and consequently older. Previously, two pairs of geographically close craters in Ukraine and Canada were also found to be unrelated.

    The existence of a third pair of unrelated craters is modestly surprising but we don’t consider it unlikely,” MacGregor said. “On the whole, the evidence we’ve assembled indicates that this new structure is very likely an impact crater, but presently it looks unlikely to be a twin with Hiawatha.

    The findings appeared in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

    TEOTWAWKI: 6 Horrible Consequences of Earth Losing It's Magnetic Shield - Happening Now Before You Very Lives

     
    6 Horrible Consequences of Earth Losing its Magnetic Field – There is so much about the Earth that we undervalue in our daily lives. Though human civilization has spread to every region of the world, our existence still depends on the alignment of natural phenomena that are beyond our control.
     
    I am currently living in Barrow, AK. The city that is farthest North of all U.S. cities. For months I hadn’t seen insects, birds, or any wildlife. It is usually below zero and the wind chill makes it much colder. I was outside the other day and saw a crow flying over my head. It was -20 with a wind chill of around -40. I don’t know where that bird came from, or how he was surviving here in the middle of Winter, but your mention of the waning magnetic field and bird navigation makes me think it had something to do with it. Ramosa999
     
    Earth’s magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth’s interior out into space, where it meets the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun. Its magnitude at the Earth’s surface ranges from 25 to 65 microteslas.Wikipedia

    What HAS Russia spotted in Earth's upper atmosphere? Scientists say satellite detected unexplained 'explosions of light' in cloud-free skies

    • Scientists with Lomonosov satellite say it spotted several 'explosions' of light
    • These were spotted dozens of miles above the surface, with no clouds below
    • Researchers say they may have come across previously unknown phenomenon  

    A Russian satellite designed to monitor the atmosphere for high-energy cosmic rays has detected mysterious ‘explosions’ of light miles above Earth’s surface, Russian scientists say.

    While numerous examples of unusual space weather phenomena have been spotted in the upper atmosphere before, the team operating the Lomonosov satellite say what they’ve found may be something entirely new.

    Despite the occurrence of several powerful bursts, Russian scientists say there were no signs of storms in the area, according to Sputnik.

    The satellite, named after scientist Mikhail Lomonosov, launched in 2016 and is integrated with the Kanopus-B spacecraft.

    Its goal is to study high-energy cosmic rays, including gamma rays, magnetospheric particles, and transient light phenomena in the upper atmosphere.

    And, the scientists now say it’s spotted something odd.

    ‘With the help of the telescope, we have obtained even more important results than we expected,’ Mikhail Panasyuk, Director of the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics at Moscow State University, told Sputnik.

    ‘It looks like we have encountered new physical phenomena. We do not yet know their physical nature.

    ‘For example, during Lomonosov’s flight at an altitude of several dozen kilometers, we have registered several times a very powerful “explosion” of light,' the director said.

    ‘But everything was clear underneath it, no storms, no clouds.’

    In recent years, unusual electrical discharges have been captured on film by satellites and even astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

    There are several types of luminous flashes, most notably red sprites and blue jets.

    These bursts of electricity, however, are always associated with storm clouds, making the latest discovery all the more baffling.

    The Lomonosov Project is working to get to the bottom of short-lived phenomena such as that recently detected in the upper atmosphere to understand processes beyond cosmic rays and gamma bursts.

    While they may occur high above Earth, the effects of space weather can trickle down and interfere with activity down at the surface.

    WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF 'SPACE LIGHTNING'? 

    While numerous types of space and weather phenomena have been spotted in the upper atmosphere before, the team operating the Lomonosov satellite say what they’ve found may be something entirely new.

    The team reported 'explosions' of light, though no clouds were seen in the skies below.  

    In the past, similar luminous events have been linked to 'space lightning' - but, these events are always associated with storm clouds.

    Blue jets are enormous bursts of electrical discharge spiking upward from storm clouds in the upper atmosphere.

    They emerge from the electrically-charged cores of thunderstorms and rise up to 30 miles upwards in the shape of a cone.

    Red sprites are electrical bursts of light that occur above highly active thunderstorms.

    They only last a few milliseconds and are relatively dim compared with other lightning.

    The late experimental physicist John Winckler accidentally discovered sprites, while helping to test a new low-light video camera in 1989.

    They show up red at higher altitudes and fade to blue at lower heights.

    We must take into account that the Earth’s radiation belts – the charged particles trapped by the magnetic field, can disappear, precipitate from the magnetic trap into the Earth’s atmosphere, producing in it extensive regions of ionization,’ the project’s website states.

    ‘The energy of the radiation belt particles is sufficiently high, for instance, there are relativistic electrons with energy of several MeV among them, which can penetrate deep in the atmosphere and by rate of ionization can easily compete against Auger showers.

    ‘Besides space factors physical processes near the Earth’s surface also have an effect on the atmosphere.’
