Piri Reis Map - How Could a 16th Century Map Show Antarctica Without Ice?
Piri Reis Map - How Could a 16th Century Map Show Antarctica Without Ice?
On October 9, 1929, a German theologian named Gustav Adolf Deissmann was cataloguing items in the Topkapi Palace library in Istanbul when he happened across a curious parchment located among some disregarded material. On the gazelle skin parchment was a map, now referred to as the Piri Reis map .
The map was drawn and signed by Turkish cartographerHagji Ahmed Muhiddin Piri , aka Piri Reis, and is dated to 1513 AD. Reis was an admiral in the Turkish navy, an experienced sailor, and a cartographer, who claimed to have used 20 source maps and charts to construct the map, including 8 Ptolemaic maps, 4 Portuguese maps, an Arabic map, and a map by Christopher Columbus.
Since its discovery, the Piri Reis map has stirred both intrigue and controversy, mostly due to the presence of what appears to be a representation of Antarctica 300 years before it was discovered. Another—if not even more intriguing facet of the appearance of Antarctica—is that it appears to show the land mass before it was covered in ice, over 6000 years ago.
Evidence of Ancient Technology?
The great debate was sparked by Professor Charles Hapgood when he published his theory on the Piri Reis map in his book Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings in 1965. He and a team of students at the University of New Hampshire studied the map and found many anomalies, such as the use of mercatorial projection and the inclusion of a pre-ice Antarctica.
The Greeks were able to create cylindrical maps based on their knowledge of a spherical earth, though mercatorial projection was not used by Europeans until later in the 16 th century, and were also able to use astronomy and geometry to calculate latitude and longitude, though absolute accuracy was not possible until the invention of the chronometer in 1760. While these two feats—amazing as they are—could be explained by use of Greek source maps and charts from the age of Alexander, nothing could explain the inclusion of Antarctica. As a result, Hapgood proposed that the map was based on materials that pre-date 4000 BC, before any known developed languages or progressive civilizations.
This theory implies that a prehistoric civilization had the technology to navigate major seaways and fairly accurately chart the globe. Hapgood also suggested that the topographic depiction of the interior of the continents required aerial capabilities, implying the prehistoric ‘super’ civilization to be both nautical and aerial masters and leading to the further speculation of either an Atlantean or alien civilization. No evidence has been found to support such theories.
South America vs Antarctica
Skeptics of Hapgood’s theory point out that the map is a representation of the South American coastline, pointing to modern physical features of the coast and interior included on the 16 th century map. Otherwise, argue critics, the image would indicate that Antarctica and South America had once been connected at Uruguay, and that Argentina did not yet exist.
While this argument possibly dismisses the presence of Antarctica on the Piri Reis map, other anomalous maps have been found that are identical to the the ice free continent as only 20 th century satellite technology has been able to identify.
Other theories of Hapgood’s have already been dismissed, such as his polar shift theory in which he claimed a sudden shift in the inclination of the Earth's axis of rotation in 9,500 BC could have resulted in the displacement of Antarctica, sending it hundreds of miles south and resulting in the alteration of its climate from semi-temperate to freezing. All evidence suggests that this shift could not, and did not, occur.
Undiscovered Civilization?
The true question is whether or not Antarctica is the identifiable continent on the Piri Reis map, or any of the other anomalous maps. If it is, could the Piri Reis map have been based on the documents of a yet undiscovered, prehistoric civilization, one that could possess technology enabling them to travel and accurately chart the globe? Regardless of the true origin of the sources, one thing is for certain: this map opens up the debate over how we view our own history and what, if any, of those views are accurate. Perhaps someday the truth will be discovered.

Last month, rafts of pumice, spewed from an undersea volcano and spanning an area about the size of Washington, D.C., appeared in the South Pacific.

In early August 2019, an unnamed volcano in the South Pacific Ocean near the Kingdom of Tonga erupted roughly 130 feet (40 meters) underwater. As lava spewed from the volcano, it cooled into pumice — porous rock filled with gas bubbles — and floated to the surface. This volcanic debris, with some fragments tiny and some as large as beach balls, aggregated into pumice rafts spanning an area of about 60 square miles (200 square km) — almost as big as Washington, D.C.
These temporary islands of volcanic rock are shaped and moved by ocean currents, wind, and waves, and provide a literal toehold for marine life, such as barnacles, coral, seaweed and mollusks, say scientists.
Several sailing crews have encountered the rocks. In a video, below, posted on YouTube on August 17, Shannon Lenz said:
On August 9, 2019, we sailed through a pumice field for 6-8 hours, much of the time there was no visible water. It was like plowing through a field. We figured the pumice was at least 6-inches thick.
An Australian couple, Michael Hoult and Larissa Brill, were sailing a catamaran to Fiji, when they encountered the raft on August 16. The couple said in a Facebook post:
We entered a total rock rubble slick made up of pumice stones from marble to basketball size.
Pumice rafts aren’t that common, according to Martin Jutzeler, a volcanologist at the University of Tasmania in Hobart. He told EOS:
We see about two per decade.
Jutzeler told EOS that not all undersea eruptions produce them, but the rafts that do form tend to stick around. They can last for months or years until the pumice abrades itself into dust or finally sinks. And floating pumice can traverse long distances. For example, he said, when the same unnamed volcano near Tonga erupted in 2001, the pumice raft it created eventually arrived in Queensland, Australia.
These transient, movable islands play an important role in marine ecosystems, scientists say, moving barnacles, coral, and seaweed that cling to the pumice to new homes. Some news outlets are reporting that the pumice might make it to Australia to help restore the Great Barrier Reef’s corals , half of which have been killed in recent years as a result of climate change. According to Denison University volcanologist Erik Klemetti, the long-distance journeys of pumice rafts are
… definitely a way to get organisms to disperse widely.
But the idea that the stowaways aboard pumice rafts might replenish the Great Barrier Reef’s corals is wishful thinking, Klemetti told EOS. He said:
That’s probably an oversell.
Researchers are keeping a close watch on how the rafts are moving. Satellite imagery provides nearly daily updates. Ocean currents, wind, and waves sculpt and power the rafts, which now number in the hundreds.

Bottom line: In August 2019, rafts of pumice, spewed from an undersea volcano and spanning an area about the size of Washington, D.C., appeared in the South Pacific.
Back in 2017, a gravitational wave rang across Earth like the clear tone of a bell. It stretched and squished every person, ant and scientific instrument on the planet as it passed through our region of space. Now, researchers have gone back and studied that wave, and found hidden data in it — data that help confirm a decades-old astrophysics idea.
That 2017 wave was a big deal: For the first time, astronomers had a tool that could detect and record it as it passed, known as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). That first wave was the result, they found, of two black holes crashing together far away in space. And now, a team of astrophysicists has taken another look at the recording and found something others thought would take decades to uncover: precise confirmation of the "no-hair theorem." This essential aspect of black hole theory dates back at least to the 1970s — a theorem that Stephen Hawking famously doubted.
When physicists say black holes don't have "hair," said Maximiliano Isi, a physicist at MIT and lead author of the paper, they mean that astrophysical objects are very simple. Black holes only differ from each other in three ways: rate of spin, mass and electric charge. And in the real world, black holes probably don't differ much in electrical charge, so they really only differ in terms of mass and spin. Physicists call these bald objects "Kerr black holes."
That hairlessness makes black holes very different from just about every other object in the universe, Isi told Live Science. When a real bell rings, for example, it emits sound waves and some undetectable, incredibly faint gravitational waves. But it's a much more complicated object. A bell is made of a material, for example (bronze maybe, or cast iron), while according to the no-hair model, black holes are all uniform singularities. Each bell also has a somewhat unique shape, whereas black holes are all infinitesimal, dimensionless points in space surrounded by spherical event horizons. All those features of a bell can be detected in the sound that a bell makes — at least if you know something about bells and sound waves. If you could somehow sense a bell's gravitational waves, you'd detect those differences in bell composition and shape in them as well, Isi said.
"The secret to this whole business is that the waveform — the pattern of this stretching and squeezing — encodes information on the source, the thing that made this gravitational wave," he told Live Science.
And astronomers studying the 2017 wave learned a great deal about the black hole collision that spawned it, Isi said.
But the recording was faint, and not very detailed. LIGO, the best gravitational wave detector in the world , used a laser to measure the distances between mirrors arranged 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) apart in an L-pattern in Washington state. (Virgo, a similar detector, also picked up the wave in Italy.) As the wave rolled over LIGO, it warped space-time itself and ever so slightly changed that distance. But the details of that graviational wave were not intense enough for the detectors to record, Isi said.
"But it's like we're listening from very far away," Isi said.
At the time, that wave offered a lot of information. The black hole behaved as expected. There was no obvious evidence that it lacked an event horizon (the region beyond which no light can escape) and it didn't dramatically deviate from the no-hair theorem, Isi said.
But researchers couldn't be very certain of many of those points, particularly the no-hair theorem. The simplest part of the waveform to study, Isi said, came after the two black holes merged into one larger black hole. It kept ringing for a while, very much like a struck bell, sending its excess energy into space as gravitational waves — what astrophysicists call the "ringdown" process.
At the time, researchers looking at LIGO data spotted just one waveform in the ringdown. Researchers thought it would take decades to develop instruments sensitive enough to pick up any quieter overtones in the ringdown. But one of Isi's colleagues, Matt Giesler, a physicist at the California Institute of Technology , figured out that there was a brief period right after the collision where the ringdown was intense enough that LIGO recorded more detail than usual. And in those moments the wave was loud enough that LIGO picked up an overtone — a second wave at a different frequency, very much like the faint secondary notes that are carried in the sound of a struck bell.
In musical instruments, overtones carry most of the information that give instruments their distinctive sounds. The same is true of the overtones of a gravitational wave, he said. And this newly uncovered overtone clarified the data on the ringing black hole a great deal, Isi said.
It showed, he said, that the black hole was at least very close to a Kerr black hole. The no-hair theorem can be used to predict what the overtone will look like; Isi and his team showed that the overtone pretty much matched that prediction. However, the recording of the overtone wasn't very clear, so it's still possible that the tone was somewhat different— by about 10% — from what theorem would predict. .
To get beyond that level of precision, he said, you'd need to extract a clearer overtone from the waveform of a black hole collision, or build a more sensitive instrument than LIGO, Isi said.
"Physics is about getting closer and closer," Isi said. "But you can never be sure."
It's even possible that the signal from the overtone isn't real, but occurred by mere chance due to random fluctuations of the data. They reported a "3.6σ confidence" in the overtone's existence. That means there's about a 1-in-6,300 chance that the overtone isn't a true signal from the black hole.
As instruments improve and more gravitational waves are detected all of these numbers should become more confident and precise, Isi said. LIGO has already been through upgrades that have made detecting black hole collisions fairly routine. Another upgrade, planned for mid-2020, should increase its sensitivity tenfold, according to Physics World. Once the space-based Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is launched in the mid-2030s, astronomers should be able to confirm the hairlessness of black holes to degrees of certainty impossible today.
However, Isi said, it's always possible that black holes aren't completely bald — they may have some quantum peach fuzz that's simple too soft and short for our instruments to pick up.
Although the exact cause of ice ages is not known, scientists speculate that they are caused by a combination of the distance of the Earth from the Sun, the position of the continents and solar output. The last ice age happened around 20,000 years ago.
During an ice age, the whole planet is noticeably colder. Ice ages can last for million of years and help to shape continents. Today's climate is actually a warm period between periods of glaciation. The world's climate continues to change and land masses continue to move. This means that the Earth is in the middle of a major cooling period that started more than 3 million years ago.
Over long periods of time, the temperature of the Earth fluctuates between a cold phase (an ice age) and a warmer, interglacial phase.
An ice age is a time where a significant amount of the Earth’s water is locked up on land in continental glaciers. During the last ice age, which finished about 12,000 years ago, enormous ice masses covered huge swathes of land now inhabited by millions of people. Canada and the northern USA were completely covered in ice, as was the whole of northern Europe and northern Asia. In Europe, Britain was connected to the rest of the continent through an area called Doggerland, and on average, the Earth’s average temperature was about 12 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius) colder than it is today.
Image via Wikipedia.
At the moment the Earth is in an interglacial period — a short warmer period between glacial periods. The Earth has been alternating between long ice ages and shorter interglacial periods for around 2.6 million years. For the last million years or so these have been happening roughly every 100,000 years – around 90,000 years of ice age followed by a roughly 10,000-year interglacial warm period.
Within the ice ages more temperate and more severe periods occur. The colder periods are called glacial periods, the warmer periods interglacials — this is the period in which we are living now.
It should also be said that different disciplines sometimes use some different terminology. In glaciology, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in both northern and southern hemispheres. In most cases, the term “ice age” refers to the geological period called the Pleistocene, which lasted from about 2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago. The Pleistocene spanned the world’s most recent period of repeated glaciations — these glaciations are sometimes also called ice ages, though the term is improper.
Why does an ice age happen?
There are many aspects related to ice age onset, but if we want to truly understand this phenomenon, we have to look outside of the Earth itself and onto its orbit.
The main cause of ice ages is connected to something called the Milankovitch cycle. The Milankovitch cycle refers to the collective effects of changes in the Earth’s movements on its climate over thousands of years. Very small changes in the Earth’s orbit shift the angle at which the Sun’s rays hit the Earth. While this may seem like a small thing, it actually has a huge impact.
Even small tilt changes of the Earth can change the planet’s temperature by several degrees. When the tilt is low, ice sheets grow and snow continues to accumulate. When the tilt is high, the ice sheets melt away. Since then the tilt has reached a maximum of 24.2 degrees (10,000 years ago), current the Earth’s tilt measures approximately 23.5 degrees — and as a result, large ice sheets are restricted to the polar areas.
Relationship of Earth’s orbit to periods of glaciation.
It’s not just the tilt — other factors about the Earth’s orbit can play a role. The three main orbital parameters are:
eccentricity (how circular the Earth’s orbit around the Sun); this varies with periods between 400,000 and 100,000 years.
obliquity (how tilted the Earth is with respect to its orbit); this varies with a period of around 40,000 years.
precession (changes between the distance of the Sun and the Earth in over the same season); this varies with a period of around 23,000 years and is particularly important around the Equator.
Having 3 major factors with different time periods leads to some hard-to-predict interactions, but the ice ages we know about can generally be traced back to these factors. The 100,000-year cycle seems to be the most significant one, and also coincides with interactions between 40,000 and 20,000-year cycles — it’s basically when all the factors “team up” to play their part. However, this is still an area of active research.
420,000 years of ice core data from Vostok, Antarctica research station, reveal the approximate ciclicity.
More to this story
Still, things aren’t really all that simple. It actually takes thousands of years for an ice age to begin, and things are not always neat and clear.
Ice ages are triggered when summer temperatures in the northern hemisphere fail to rise above freezing for years. This triggers a snowball effect: winter snowfall doesn’t melt, builds up, compresses, and over time starts to compact, or glaciate, into ice sheets. This further accentuates the cooling, as snow and ice have a higher albedo, meaning they reflect more of the solar energy and cool down even more.
Over thousands of years, these ice sheets start to build up. They seem to start out in the northern areas like Canada or Russia and then spread out across the northern hemisphere. The onset is, again, related to the Milankovitch cycles — but these changes in the Earth’s tilt and orbit combine are complemented by other geological factors to favor the emergence of ice ages.
When all these factors align so the northern hemisphere gets less solar radiation in summer, you have all the ingredients needed for an ice age.
Glacials are characterized by cooler and drier climates over most of the earth and large land and sea ice masses extending outward from the poles. Mountain glaciers in otherwise unglaciated areas extend to lower elevations due to a lower snow line
Could there be more factors involved?
We have the rough picture pretty well drawn out, but there are still some details missing. For instance, the position of continents, which is affected by plate tectonics, can also influence ice ages, as they control the circulation of the oceans and the atmosphere which in turn, affects how ocean currents carry heat to high latitudes.
The atmospheric composition (which can also shift somewhat in geologic time) is another important parameter.
Scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany have shown that the onsets of past ice ages were triggered mainly by decreases in carbon dioxide and that the dramatic increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, because of human-caused emissions, has likely suppressed the onset of the next ice age for up to 100,000 years.
“Like no other force on the planet, ice ages have shaped the global environment and thereby determined the development of human civilization,” Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, former director of PIK, said. “For instance, we owe our fertile soil to the last ice age that also carved out today’s landscapes, leaving glaciers and rivers behind, forming fjords, moraines, and lakes. However, today it is humankind with its emissions from burning fossil fuels that determines the future development of the planet.”
Nevertheless, while some aspects may be more difficult to assess, the overall processes are pretty well understood.
What impacts have ice ages had on the planet?
Today, less than 10% of our continents are covered by ice, but that figure has been as high as 30% in the past.
Ice ages caused enormous changes to the Earth’s surface. Glaciers are not static — they reshaped the landscape by picking up rocks and soil and eroding hills during their unstoppable push, their sheer weight razoring the Earth’s crust. As temperatures dropped in areas adjacent to these ice cliffs, cold-weather plant life was driven to southern latitudes. These processes tend to create spectacular scenery which can be seen in many parts of Canada, Scandinavia, and the Alps.
Meanwhile, the dramatic drop in sea levels enabled rivers to carve out deeper valleys and produce enormous inland lakes, with previously submerged land bridges appearing between continents. Upon retreating during warmer periods, the glaciers left behind scattered ridges of sediment and filled basins with melted water to create new lakes.
During the last ice age, which ran from about 110,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago, the lower sea levels allowed humans to move out across the entire world. While there was still some water between Asia and Australia it took just a few short canoe trips to bring the first humans to Australasia.
The world’s ecosystems also try to adapt to these climatic changes. Some creatures survive and adapt, others don’t. The extreme glaciation periods put extreme pressure on species, who devise adaptations for the colder or warmer periods.
Scientists have a variety of methods they use. Evidence for the more recent ice ages comes from changing sea levels in the past, which can be seen by looking at coral reefs or modern landscapes, as well as samples conserved in glacial ice over millions of years.
Ice core records provide invaluable information on changes in temperature and greenhouse gases over the last 800,000 years. If we want to go back even further into the past, evidence for ice ages in the last tens of millions of years is predominantly seen in ocean sediments.
And for thedeep time ice ages that occurred tens to hundreds of millions of years ago,scientists use the geological record where the story of sea level and climatecan be unraveled by analyzing rocks of various ages.
How many ice ages have happened so far?
At least five major ice ages took place in Earth’s history. These include the Huronian, Cryogenian, Andean-Saharan, Karoo, and the Quaternary ice ages.
The Huronian Ice Age is dated to the early Protezerozoic Eon, roughly 2.4 to 2.1 billion years ago. The Cryogenian Ice Age lasted from roughly 850 to 630 million years ago and was perhaps the most severe in Earth’s history. The Andean-Saharan Ice Age occurred during the Late Ordovician and the Silurian period (roughly 460 to 420 million years ago).
The Karoo Ice Age is attributed to the evolution of land plants during the onset of the Devonian period (ca. 360 to 260 million years ago). The current ice age, known as the Pliocene-Quaternary glaciation, started about 2.58 million years ago during the late Pliocene when the spread of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere began. Since then, the world has experienced several glacial and interglacial periods.
Approximately a dozen major glaciations have occurred over the past one million years, the largest of which peaked 650,000 years ago and lasted for 50,000 years.
The Earth is currently in an interglacial period, and the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago. What remains of the continental ice sheets that once stretched across the globe are now restricted to Greenland and Antarctic, as well as smaller glaciers
What would happen if a new ice age occurs?
While we may have delayed the onset of the next ice age, for now, a new one would have significant consequences for human civilization. Besides the fact it would be an awful lot colder, huge regions where hundreds of millions of people live would become completely uninhabitable. They’d be covered in thick ice sheets and subject to an inhospitable climate.
There would be a lot less agricultural land available, so it would be very difficult to support the human population. The physical shape of the continents would look completely different across the whole planet. Plus, a huge drop in sea level of up to 120 meters would close down marine channels – the Mediterranean Sea, Torres Strait, Bass Strait, and Bering Strait – and create new areas of land that could be used for habitation or agriculture.
Nevertheless, this is not really a matter of concern. As mentioned, the onset of ice ages is a geological process — it takes a really long time and is very gradual.
Which leads us to our final point.
Don’t blame man-made climate change on natural processes!
The world’s climate is currently heating up. This is not a natural process — there is ample and conclusive evidence that this process is caused by man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
However, although there is a scientific consensus on this issue, disinformation campaigns have been successful in spreading climate change denialism and doubts. “Climate change is natural” is one of the favorite quips of climate change deniers — but this is not the case here.
Climate does change naturally, and ice ages and glaciation periods are excellent examples of that. We are also currently in a warming phase. However, it is a simply incorrect to use this as an argument to suggest that the current climate heating is natural — it’s not.
In December 2017 and March 2018, The New York Times released three allegedly declassified videos showing U.S. Navy pilots trailing some unidentified flying objects. The mystery crafts moved at hypersonic speeds, flying tens of thousands of feet above the Earth with no distinct wings, engines or visible signs of propulsion whatsoever. Were they flying saucers? Incredibly high-tech drones? The pilots had no idea — and, according to a recent statement from Navy intelligence officials, neither does the U.S. government.
In a statement delivered to the intelligence news website The Black Vault, Joseph Gradisher, a spokesperson for the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, announced that the Navy officially considers the craft in these three videos "unidentified aerial phenomena." That means that the eerie videos are authentic — and that the objects, which were detected in restricted military training airspaces in 2004 and 2015, were not supposed to be there. The objects still have not been successfully identified as any known type of aircraft.
The UFO footage was also never cleared for public release, Gradisher told The Black Vault — meaning these are three unidentified phenomena you were never supposed to know about.
According to The Black Vault, the videos may have been improperly released by a former Pentagon employee who had applied for permission to share them across several government agencies as part of a database on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) he was allegedly compiling. The man received permission to share the videos for "[US Government] Use Only," paperwork obtained by The Black Vault shows. However, Navy officials never declassified the footage for public release, Gradisher said.
What was the Navy trying to withhold, specifically? Only some very bizarre aerial acrobatics. In one incident filmed in 2004, for example, the unidentified objects "appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering," The New York Times wrote. "Then they either dropped out of radar range or shot straight back up."
To be clear, nobody is saying that these mystery aircraft have anything to do with alien visitors; they simply can't be identified or explained by current aeronautical knowledge. Comforted? Good — because this sort of thing probably happens way more often than we know.

UFO’s bestaan echt – en je had ze nooit mogen zien, zegt deze militaire functionaris
Vorig jaar kwamen er uit het niets opeens beelden van UFO’s naar buiten. Ze gingen gelijk viral. De overheid wil nu dat je ze vergeet.
In december 2017 en maart 2018 publiceerde de New York Times geheime beelden van drie onbekende vliegende objecten.
De mysterieuze vliegtuigen bereikten hypersonische snelheden en vlogen tienduizenden meters boven de aarde zonder vleugels, motor of uitlaat.
Geen idee
Waren het vliegende schotels? De piloten die de waarnemingen deden hadden geen idee.
Uit een recente verklaring van inlichtingenfunctionarissen van de Amerikaanse marine blijkt dat de overheid ook geen idee heeft.
In een verklaring zegt woordvoerder Joseph Gradisher tegen nieuwswebsite The Black Vault dat de marine de vaartuigen in de video’s heeft geclassificeerd als ‘ongeïdentificeerde luchtfenomenen’.
Nooit
Dat betekent dat de beelden authentiek zijn en dat de objecten, die in 2004 en 2015 zijn waargenomen in militair luchtruim, daar niet hoorden te zijn.
De UFO-beelden hadden ook nooit naar buiten mogen komen, vertelde Gradisher aan The Black Vault.
Je had dus eigenlijk helemaal niet mogen weten dat de drie onbekende objecten in het luchtruim zijn waargenomen.
Buitengewone manoeuvres
De marine wilde de beelden liever geheimhouden omdat de objecten zeer buitengewone manoeuvres uitvoerden.
Zo vlogen ze het ene moment op 25 kilometer hoogte om vervolgens richting de zee te schieten en op zes kilometer hoogte stil te blijven hangen.
As humans, we believe we evolved from apes and the Rh factor in our blood even derives its name from the Rhesus Macaque. But when it comes to the antigens in our blood there’s a small percentage of the population with a strange anomaly, leading some to question if Rh-negative blood is alien in origin.
Where Does Rh Negative Blood Come From?
There are 35 blood group systems organized by our genetic structure to carry the information that produces antigens. Antigens are molecules that produce an immune response, so when a foreign substance or toxin enters our system, antigens tell our bodies to attack them.
Within the Rh system there are 61 antigens, with the D antigen determining whether one is Rh-positive of Rh-negative. This antigen is a sensitive protein that exists on the surface of red blood cells and can react negatively if it comes in contact with Rh-positive blood.
If a woman with Rh-negative blood becomes pregnant with an Rh-positive baby, her body will produce antigens signaling to her immune system that her fetus is essentially toxic. Oddly, the woman’s body will kill its own fetus, unless given a rare antibody known as Rh-D immunoglobulin. This complication is known as hemolytic disease.
Some believe Rh-negative blood is simply a mutation that came about at some unknown time in our evolution. But, as strange as it sounds, others have speculated at the possibility that it may have come from an alien species that interbred with humans or engineered us in some way, producing a hybrid bloodline.
When we look at hybrid animals in other species, there are similar incompatibilities and sometimes even complete infertility. When a horse and donkey mate, the genetic differences result in a sterile mule. The same goes for a liger – the progeny of a lion and a tiger – the two species chromosomes don’t match, so they produce infertile offspring. Could there be a similar incompatibility between Rh-negative mothers and Rh-positive babies?
Rh Negative Characteristics
About 15 percent of the world’s population has the Rh-negative distinction, with the D-antigen absent in their veins. But this percentage of the population is not spread evenly across all areas of the planet. While humans are thought to all share a common ancestor, originating in sub-Saharan Africa, the number of Rh-negative Africans is disproportionately low compared to others – about three percent. In Asia, that proportion is even lower with only about one percent of the population possessing this rare blood type.
The gene that produces Rh-negative is largely present in Caucasians, with the highest concentration found in a small region on the Iberian Peninsula between France and Spain, known as the Basque region. Here, straddling the Pyrenees mountains, up to 40 percent of the population is Rh-negative, and that’s not the only distinguishing feature of the region.
Those from the Basque are also the only people of Western Europe who continue to speak an indigenous Indo-European language – an isolated tongue not spoken anywhere else in Europe. But this language is not just isolated, it’s completely unrelated to other European languages.
A more mundane explanation for the homogenous traits of people from the Basque region is the idea that early farmers, during the start of the agricultural revolution, mixed with local hunters, before becoming isolated for thousands of years preserving their language and genetics. Others have posited the idea that the Basques could have been the pure descendants of the first modern humans to arrive in Europe.
But another theory that falls in the more ethereal category is that the Nephilim of biblical lore are responsible for Rh-negative blood types. In the Book of Enoch, the Nephilim, also known as the Watchers, descend from the heavens and mate with humans, creating a human-angel hybrid. This group of angels and their offspring were wiped out in the great biblical deluge, though some were said to have survived, leaving the Rh-negative blood distinction.
Another otherworldly theory is that the Anunnaki, the extraterrestrial race that helped establish ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, engineered or crossbred with humans, and that some part of this process created the Rh-negative blood type.
It’s alleged that people with Rh-negative blood have distinct physical features paired with a predilection for psychic phenomena and alien abductions. Some of those features are:
Higher than average IQ
Lower body temperature
Higher blood pressure
Red or reddish hair
Extra vertebrae
Sensitive vision and particular sensitivity to sunlight
Elevated intuition
Could there be any validity behind this, or is it an elitist idea that there might be a small percent of the population that has advanced, extraterrestrial genetics? While there’s not much grounding evidence of these alleged characteristics, some have pointed to instances of red-haired rulers in ancient civilizations throughout the world as potentially having some connection.
In South America, some of the bizarrely-shaped, oblong Paracas skulls were found to have red hair in an area where that hair color isn’t native. The gene for red hair originates in the Middle East and Europe. Breakaway archeologists, like L.A. Marzulli have connected these red-haired skulls to the Nephilim. Could the Rh-negative blood type be another connecting factor?

Er wordt gezegd dat één bloedgroep een buitenaardse oorsprong heeft. Behoor jij tot deze groep?
Er wordt gezegd dat één bloedgroep een buitenaardse oorsprong heeft. Behoor jij tot deze groep?
Dankzij recente archeologische ontdekkingen hebben we een heel ander beeld gekregen van intelligente mensachtige soorten die vroeger op aarde leefden.
Mensen deelden de planeet met onder andere neanderthalers, de denisovamens en zelfs hobbits. Het doet allemaal een beetje denken aan de Lord of the Rings. Hoe konden deze verschillende soorten zich onafhankelijk van elkaar ontwikkelen op geïsoleerde plekken op aarde?
Waarom zijn er geen fossielen gevonden waaruit blijkt dat alle soorten een gemeenschappelijke voorouder hadden? Volgens sommigen was de aarde ooit een buitenaards laboratorium waarin verschillende menselijke prototypes werden gemaakt en uiteindelijk één soort werd uitgekozen die zou overleven. Is de mens het resultaat van een buitenaards experiment?
Raadsel
De rhesusfactor is een kenmerk van het menselijk bloed dat naast de bloedgroepen A, B, AB en O bepalend is. 85 procent van de mensen heeft de rhesusfactor en is hiermee rhesuspositief. Bij de overige 15 procent van de mensen spreekt men van rhesusnegatief bloed.
Vooral bij zwangere vrouwen is de rhesusfactor van belang. Het groeiende kind in de buik kan namelijk een andere rhesusfactor hebben dan de dragende moeder. Bij vermenging van de twee verschillende bloedsoorten tijdens de bevalling is er een kans dat het kind de rhesusziekte oploopt.
De Basken stellen antropologen en historici al lange tijd voor een raadsel. Wegens de grote verschillen tussen het Baskisch en bekende taalfamilies wordt het als een geïsoleerde taal beschouwd. Daarnaast is maar liefst 35 procent van de Basken rhesusnegatief, het hoogste percentage ter wereld.
Geen idee
“Volgens de enkele-oorspronghypothese is de moderne mens in Afrika ontstaan, maar alle Afrikaanse volkeren waren rhesuspositief. Waar zijn de groepen ontstaan die rhesusnegatief bloed hebben?” klinkt het.
“15 procent van de mensen heeft rhesusnegatief bloed,” zegt presentator van Coast to Coast AM George Noory. “Wetenschappers hebben geen idee waar het vandaan komt. Wat ze wel weten is dat je mogelijk bent voortgekomen uit een andere soort als je het hebt.”
“Is die soort hier naartoe gebracht, genetisch gemanipuleerd of op natuurlijke wijze ontstaan?” vraagt hij zich af. “

Once we go below the crust of the planet past five or six miles, there’s thousand of miles more, and we don’t know or understand exactly what could be down there, he pointed out.
There’ve long been rumors about a secret underground base at Dulce, NM, and that area has had a large number of strange lights seen on the mesas, Strieber noted, adding that the local Jicarilla tribe has a legend they were created inside the mesa.

American Government Is Silntly Monitoring Snake-Like UFOs Spotted Across the Nation
American Government Is Silently Monitoring Snake-Like UFOs Spotted Across the Nation
An ex-police officer believes the American government is well aware of the snake-like UFOs that have appeared over multiple different states.
People from different parts of the US have claimed to have spotted mysterious objects in the skies on camera, which bear a resemblance to snakes in their movement.
The sighting began in June when a famous YouTube personality was puzzled to find a bright light over the Mojave Desert in California.
Since then, they have reportedly been observed during a meteor shower in Wyoming and above New York moving like it has life.
Former detective constable Gary Heseltine said that cigar-shaped UFOs had been spotted for decades and some reports involve snake-like objects.
Mr Heseltine went on the claim that the American government and military have controlled the UFO arena around the world since the 1940s.
He certainly believes that the US military and government know much more about space alien visitation. He suspects that the public only knows 10 percent of the truth about ET and UFOs.
He pointed out that the sightings are numerous and have many different witnesses. With this data, he firmly believes that someone in authority is silently monitoring the activity of snake-like UFOs.
Gary went on the claim that he has met many individuals who were military pilots and have had UFO encounters. He said that around 3 percent of UFO reports involve space alien visitation.
Gary worked in the British Transport Police for 24 years until 2013 and now a researcher of UFO sightings.
Fungus Structures On Dark Side Of Moon, UFO Sighting News.
Fungus Structures On Dark Side Of Moon, UFO Sighting News.
Source: Book...Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas by Charles Byrne.
I found these structures in a book about the moon about ten years ago, and I don't believe I have made a video about it yet, so here it goes. The objects are not glitches in the photo process as some would say. They actually have shadows thrown a long ways. The photo above is actually a hill like structure that turns into this fungus structure. Amazing huh? Watch the video to see the other 7 photos of these objects on the dark side of the moon. These photos were taken down by NASA over 15 years ago, but this book has a CD in the back with those photos and index ID numbers still on them. Absolute proof of life on the dark side of the moon.

Vilas-Boas was a Brazilian farmer who claimed to have been abducted by aliens in 1957, while working in his fields at night. He said that he was captured by four 5-foot-tall humanoids wearing gray overalls and helmets, who took them aboard their egg-shaped craft. He claimed that, while aboard the craft, the aliens took blood samples from his chin. Later, he said, he had intercourse with a female alien, whom he described as having blue eyes, long white hair, and bright red pubic and underarm hair. He believed that the female alien had used him for impregnation, and would raise their offspring alone in space. When he was returned to his farm, Vilas-Boas said four Earth hours had passed.
2.Betty and Barney Hill (1961), a married couple whose case became one of the most famous and studied accounts.
The "Hill Abduction," as it is commonly known, is the first widely publicized American case of alien abduction. At its center were Betty and Barney Hill, a married couple living in New Hampshire. The Hills claimed they witnessed a UFO while driving back on the night of September 19 from a trip to Niagara Falls. They followed the movement of the craft for some time; eventually, it descended sharply, causing Barney to stop the car in the middle of the highway. When he saw creatures peering at them through the craft's windows, he ran back to his car. The craft then lifted over their vehicle, and the Hills reported hearing and feeling buzzing. The Hills' consciousness went blurry; when they awoke, they'd traveled 35 miles south with no memory of having done so. They arrived home and realized their watches were broken. Betty reported the incident to the Pease Air Force Base. She began having dreams about the incident; later, both Barney and Betty would be interviewed at length while under hypnosis.
The story became national news after a story was published in the Boston Traveler in 1965; a book about their story, called The Interrupted Journey was published in 1987.
3.Pascagoula Abduction (1973), coworkers who claimed they were abducted by a craft while fishing.
Co-workers Charles Hickson (left) and Calvin Parker (right) were fishing off a pier near Pascagoula, Mississippi on an October evening when they heard a "whirring" sound and saw two flashing blue lights. A smallish, oval-shaped craft appeared before them, from which emerged three pale creatures about 5 feet tall. Hickson and Parker said the creatures had carrot-like growths emerging from the nose and ear areas, and that in place of hands, they had lobster-like claws.
Hickson claimed that he was inspected by a mechanical eye while aboard the craft, while Parker initially stated he did not remember what happened during the event. In an interview 20 years later, though, Parker provided a detailed story of his inspection, including telepathic communication with the beings. Upon reporting the incident to the police, Hickson and Parker were questioned. They were then left alone in a room with a hidden tape recorder, which police expected would reveal the incident to be a hoax. Instead, Hickson and Parker could be heard nervously discussing the event; at one point Parker states, "I knew all along they was people from other worlds up there. I knew all along. I never thought it would happen to me."
4.Travis Walton (1975), a logger whose crew claimed to see a craft, after which he disappeared for 5 days.
On November 6, 1975, a then-22-year-old Travis Walton and his crew of fellow loggers had finished working and were driving home when they spotted a large silvery disc floating in the sky above a clearing. The driver stopped the car and Walton jumped out, running toward the object. The craft began to move, and, according to others in the car, Walton began to step back, when a blue-green beam shot out and "struck" Walton. What happened next is unclear, but it seems that Walton's crew left the area, as one of his co-workers called the police from near the town where they lived. When the crew and police officers returned to the site, Walton had disappeared. A search party looked for Walton while news of the case spread internationally. He reappeared five days later, returning with apparent weight loss and a story about his time inside the UFO.
In 1978 Walton published a book about his experience, aptly called The Walton Experience. His story was also the (loose) basis for the 1993 film Fire in the Sky, though the narrative surrounding what happened in the UFO differs substantially from Walton's account. In 2013, Walton was on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which appeared uncomfortable for everyone involved.
5.Frederick Valentich (1978), a pilot who reported a strange craft to Air Traffic Control before disappearing without a trace.
Aspiring pilot Frederick Valentich, 20 years old, was on a training flight over Australia's Bass Strait when he radioed Melbourne's Air Traffic Control to advise that he was being shadowed by an unidentified craft flying about 1000 feet above him. Valentich said the craft was "orbiting" around his own, and that it emitted a green light. He told ATC that he was suffering engine problems, and, when he was asked to describe the object, said "It's not an aircraft" before the transmission was interrupted by "metallic, scraping sounds." At that point all contact was lost.
A four-day, 1000 mile search was undertaken, but no trace of Valentich or his craft was ever found. Some believe that Valentich had become disoriented, starting flying upside down, and spotted his own lights in the water; others say his disappearance was staged. Others believe that Valentich's account of the mysterious craft, bolstered by witness reports of a UFO over Australia later that night, is suggestion of alien abduction.
6.Whitley Strieber (1985), a horror novelist whose account of his abduction became a best-seller.
Whitley Strieber, an author of horror novels, alleges that he was abducted by non-human visitors from his home in upstate New York in December, 1985. (Strieber does not specifically state that "the visitors" are alien in nature, though most read his account — the 1987 book Communion — as such.) Communion became a #1 Times bestseller, granting the topic of alien abduction a renewed, widespread public interest. Strieber wrote several non-fiction follow-ups to the story, as well as a number of novels about similar topics. He is currently the host of a pararnormal-themed internet podcast called "Dreamland."

NAVY CONFIRMS THAT THREE UFO ENCOUNTER VIDEOS ARE REAL
NAVY CONFIRMS THAT THREE UFO ENCOUNTER VIDEOS ARE REAL

Close Encounters
Three U.S. military videos that show footage of “unidentified aerial phenomenon” are authentic, according to U.S. Navy statementsobtained by The Black Vault, a blog dedicated to exposing government secrets.
“The Navy designates the objects contained in these videos as unidentified aerial phenomena,” Joseph Gradisher, official spokesperson for the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, told The Black Vault.
Star Power
The videos first revealed to the public back in 2017 by The New York Times and To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science, a UFO organization co-founded by former Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge.
To be clear, the new statement doesn’t mean the Navy is claiming aliens are real: “unidentified aerial phenomena” are simply just that — unidentified and unexplained; no little green men necessary.
“What The…”
One of the videos, dating back to 2004, shows a so-far unexplained object that “appeared suddenly at 80,000 feet, and then hurtled toward the sea, eventually stopping at 20,000 feet and hovering,” as The New York Times wrote in its 2017 report.
Another shows footage taken by a fighter jet in 2015 of an object that passes below at extremely high speeds. “What the […] is that thing?” one of the pilots asks in the video.
Black Box
The videos were also never meant to be seen by the public.
“The videos were never officially released to the general public by the DoD and should still be withheld,” Pentagon Spokesperson Susan Gough told The Black Vault earlier this year.
Gateay FoundationEen prowtotype van een kamer in het Von Braun Station.
RUIMTEVAARTOp vakantie gaan naar de ruimte belooft binnenkort werkelijkheid te worden. Tenminste, als het aan The Gateway Foundation ligt. Zij maken momenteel volop plannen om het allereerste ruimtehotel te openen.
Hoewel reizen naar de ruimte momenteel nog als verre toekomstmuziek klinkt, zou het binnen dit en een jaar of zes al werkelijkheid kunnen worden. The Gateway Foundation wil tegen 2025 het eerste ruimtehotel af hebben, dat de naam ‘The Von Braun Station’ zou meekrijgen. Het hotel werd gebaseerd op een concept uit de jaren 50 van Wernher von Braun, en zal bestaan uit een roterend wiel met een diameter van ongeveer 190 meter. De technologie die er gebruikt wordt zal gelijkaardig zijn aan die van het International Space Station, maar de kunstmatige zwaartekracht zal ervoor zorgen dat een verblijf er een pak aangenamer wordt.
Gateway Foundation
Het roterende wiel van het ruimtehotel zal bestaan uit 24 individuele modules, uitgerust met levensondersteunende systemen en slaapplekken. De Gateway Foundation verwacht dat het hotel plaats zal hebben voor ongeveer 400 gasten, en is van plan om modules te verkopen als privéwoningen, andere aan overheden te verhuren voor onderzoeksdoeleinden en de resterende modules te veranderen in een luxueus ruimtehotel.
Gateway Foundation
Het hotel zal dezelfde look en feel krijgen als luxueuze hotels in New York, Tokyo en Parijs. Er zullen ook vele faciliteiten aanwezig zijn die je normaliter ook op een cruiseschip vindt, zoals restaurant, bars, een concertruimte, een bioscoop en vergaderzalen. Dankzij de kunstmatige zwaartekracht zal het hotel ook een volledig restaurant bezitten en kan je er op een normale manier naar het toilet gaan en douchen. Om het ruimtegevoel compleet te maken zullen er echter ook plekken in het hotel zijn waar je het gebrek aan zwaartekracht optimaal kan ervaren, zoals een basketbalveld met beperkte zwaartekracht en ruimtes waar je kan trampolinespringen of muurklimmen.

Sign near Helena warns people to brace for UFO disclosure
Sign near Helena warns people to brace for UFO disclosure
Phil Drake Great Falls Tribune
HELENA -- Have you seen it? It’s out there, and maybe a little bit out of this world, and it's waiting for you.
The Jesse A. Marcel Library (JAML) and Crop Circles Research Foundation near Montana City has placed this billboard along Highway 12 near Helena to call attention to the ongoing mystery of Unidentified Flying Objects.
“… something not from this world,” it quotes USS Nimitz pilot David Fravor.
This sign along Highway 12 near Helena calls attention to the UFO phenomenon.
DR. RICHARD O'CONNOR
“UFO disclosure is in progress. Get ready. Get informed” and it tells passersby to learn more online at www.jaml.org.
In a Dec. 18, 2017, story in The Washington Post, Fravor, a Navy commander and former pilot, said he saw a UFO in 2004 off the coast of California, and described it as a "Tic Tac" and it maneuvered in the air like nothing else he had ever seen.
“It was a real object, it exists and I saw it,” he told The Post.
Dr. Richard O’Connor, founder and director of JAML, told members in an email Friday that the sign should get 46,000 viewings a month. He said it is on Highway 12 and can only be seen by those traveling west, past the car dealerships. He has asked them to share photos of the sign with others.
He said the cost of the sign is $2,500 for six months and people can make donations online. He told members the first comment to his Facebook posting was "fake sign!"
Are UFOs real? It's a topic that has gone under eternal debate. The magazine "Popular Mechanics" and online news website Politico reported in June that three senators received a classified Pentagon briefing about reported encounters by the Navy with unidentified aircraft.
President Donald Trump told ABC News that he has also been briefed on the reports.
"I did have one very brief meeting on it,” he said. “But people are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particularly.”
JAML serves as a UFO library and meeting place for those who want to learn more about UFOs and other possibly-related phenomena happening in the world today.
Richard O’Connor sits in his Clancy home and discusses a photo, shown in the foreground, that one of his cameras has captured. He believes it is of a UFO.
Tribune photo/Phil Drake
O’Connor said the object of the sign was not to primarily recruit more members, but to ultimately place the billboards in major cities to remind passersby “the UFO / UAP phenomenon is real and it merits their attention.”
“If this effort becomes successful we may entrain the attention of many, many people who will help us move this effort forward and thereby help accelerate UFO disclosure,” he wrote.
JAML is named for the late-Dr. Jesse Marcel Jr., perhaps best known for being a longtime physician in Helena. His father, a major, was sent by his base commander to investigate the crash of a UFO on a ranch outside of Roswell Army Air Field in 1947. He loaded some of the wreckage into his vehicle and drove it home to show Jesse Jr., who was then 10.
The U.S. Army Air Corps issued a press release saying a “flying saucer” was found, but public uproar forced them to retract the statement and say a weather balloon had been found instead.
Those who were at the crash site were then sworn to secrecy. But in the ‘70s Marcel Sr. and his son began speaking about what they had seen, believing the coverup was a grave injustice to the public.

Groot reclamebord:zet je schrap voor UFO Disclosure. Ben jij er klaar voor?
Mensen die in de Amerikaanse staat Montana over de snelweg rijden, worden middels een groot reclamebord gewezen op de UFO Disclosure die momenteel plaatsvindt.
Het bord, dat in de buurt van de stad Helena staat en maandelijks wordt gezien door vele tienduizenden automobilisten, toont een afbeelding van de UFO in de vorm van een Tic Tac waar onlangs veel over te doen was.
Bij de afbeelding staat een citaat van marinecommandant David Fravor. Hij omschreef het object als ‘iets wat niet van deze wereld was’.
Echt object
“Het was een echt object, het bestaat en ik heb het gezien,” zei hij tegen de Washington Post.
Verder staat op het enorme reclamebord dat ‘UFO Disclosure’ op dit moment aan de gang is en dat mensen ‘zich klaar moeten maken’ en ‘zich moeten informeren’.
Voorbijgangers worden naar de website geleid van de Jesse A. Marcel Library, een UFO-informatiecentrum in Montana City.
Nog veel meer
Oprichter van het centrum Richard O’Connor zei van plan te zijn om nog veel meer van dit soort reclameborden te gaan huren om het bewustzijn rond UFO’s te vergroten.
Volgens dr. O’Connor is het slechts een kwestie van tijd voordat we de waarheid te horen krijgen over dit fenomeen.
Crop circles – sophisticated patterns hewn into crop formations seemingly overnight – have fuelled mystery in Sussex for decades.
The circles, which were first discussed as far back as the 17th century, appeared under mysterious circumstances in Sussex last year, when ‘map-like markings’. appeared in fields around Ifield, Crawley.
While pranksters Doug Bower and Dave Chorley dispelled some of the mystery behind their appearance in the 1970s and 80s – one man still questions the assumption crop circles are all man-made.
Andy Thomas, one of the UK’s best-known mysteries researchers and authors, will visit Burgess Hill next week to explain why.
He said: “The belief that all the crop circles were invented by two elderly gentlemen with rope and planks in the 1980s – a story which has recently reemerged in the media – is provably untrue.
“The crop circles were there long before them, and continued long after they ‘retired’.
“Yes, some designs are indeed man-made, but it is very hard to explain all of them that way, as eye-witness sightings, scientific evidence, geometrical observations and bizarre circumstances make very clear.
“By looking at this year’s events, I will discuss many aspects of this very persistent and intriguing phenomenon.”
Andy has been researching and writing about crop circles for nearly 30 years but has a variety of specialisms.
His books – the most famous of which are The Truth Agenda and Conspiracies – also cover UFO landings, the origin of the pyramids and mystifying paranormal activity. He has also appeared on television, representing his views on The One Show, Richard and Judy and GMTV.
Andy, who discovered his passion for the crop circle controversy while on holiday in Wiltshire in 1991, is also a public speaker, having lectured everywhere from Eastbourne’s Congress Theatre to Rio de Janeiro.
In his talk, at Cypress Hall on Tuesday (September 17) from 8pm, he will explore crop circles in particular.
Entitled Crop Circles of 2019, he will look at all the crop circle formations of the last year, both in England and abroad, and share insights.
$Tickets are available at the door and cost £7 each.
Worden alle graancirkels door mensen gemaakt? Deze doorgewinterde onderzoeker zegt van niet (hoe ontstaan ze dan?)
Al decennialang verschijnen er graancirkels in het Engelse graafschap Sussex. De formaties zijn omgeven met mysterie aangezien ze vaak van de ene op de andere dag verschijnen.
In de 17e eeuw werd al over de cirkels gesproken.
Ook vorig jaar verschenen er onder mysterieuze omstandigheden graancirkels in Sussex. Aangenomen wordt dat de formaties door mensen worden gemaakt, maar daar is lang niet iedereen het mee eens.
Klopt niet
Eén van hen is Andy Thomas, één van bekendste Britse graancirkelonderzoekers.
“Het klopt niet dat graancirkels in de jaren tachtig zijn uitgevonden door twee oudere mannen met touwtjes en plankjes, zoals pas geleden werd beweerd in de media,” zei hij.
“Graancirkels waren er voor die tijd ook al en zullen blijven verschijnen nadat zij met ‘pensioen’ zijn gegaan,” vervolgde hij.
30 jaar onderzoek
Sommige formaties zijn inderdaad door mensen gemaakt, maar je kunt ze niet allemaal op die manier verklaren, zoals blijkt uit ooggetuigenverslagen, wetenschappelijk bewijs en bizarre omstandigheden, aldus Thomas.
Hij doet al bijna 30 jaar onderzoek naar graancirkels en heeft er uitgebreid over geschreven.
Thomas schrijft ook over UFO-landingen, de oorsprong van de piramides en paranormale activiteit. Hij is meerdere keren op de Britse tv te zien geweest.
A Taos close encounter of the hunters and aliens kind
A Taos close encounter of the hunters and aliens kind
From left, Josh Brinkley and Daniel Lucero were out bow hunting for elk near Cerro de la Olla Monday (Sept. 2) northwest of Taos when they had a strange encounter with a gigantic white structure that then disappeared. A day earlier, Brinkley saw what he thought were two hunters, but later described as oddly clothed "very tall figures with oversized heads." The two men are still trying to figure out what they saw.
Bow hunters Josh Brinkley and Daniel Lucero, dressed in camouflage gear, looked a little uncomfortable sitting in chairs at a local newspaper.
The Santa Fe County residents had just come into Taos after several days in rugged terrain near Cerro de la Olla, also called Pot Mountain, northwest of town near Ute Mountain.
They had a strange tale to tell and they weren’t sure of their reception.
“We’re a couple of guys that don’t believe in much, but we believe now,” Brinkley said.
They went hunting for elk.
They encountered aliens or something else so strange they don’t know what to call it.
Brinkley, 41, said he’s been going to the Pot Mountain area hunting for 15 years. He had never seen anything particularly odd.
He said he works construction and on movie sets. He’s a family guy who doesn’t want anyone to think he’s crazy.
He and Lucero have worked together for eight years.
They say they aren’t prone to seeing things and didn’t particularly believe in aliens.
Odd figures
Opening morning of bow hunting season was Sunday (Sept. 1). The two men had gone a couple of days early to scout the area for elk. Lucero, 26, had never been there.
They set up along the tree line on different sides of a field and waited. After three hours and no elk, Brinkley became restless. It was about 9:30 a.m.
“I take off walking, creeping around through the woods, looking for elk,” Brinkley said.
He reached the top of the mountain where there’s a caldera, a kind of wide bowl left behind by a collapsed volcano. He went to the edge on the southwest side. As he walked to the edge he noticed two figures on his side of the caldera. He thought at first they were hunters. But, they were “very tall shapes of these beings, standing side by side, staring right at me,” he said.
He walked toward them across the brushy field. He estimates they were about 35 yards away. As a bow hunter, where measuring distance is critical to hitting a target, he said he’s pretty adept at it. He went around the bush and looked again. The figures were gone.
He looked around and didn't see them. “Figured I would talk to them. They were gone, just gone,” Brinkley said.
He thought more about what he had seen: With their lower half concealed by bushes in the caldera, he had only seen them from the waist up. "The shape that would be like their heads, it looked like they had huge hoods on. It looked like two ribbons coming off either side to a point at the top and bottom (like a banana). The right side was black, left side was white and a little shiny. Torsos were kind of black, I couldn’t see many details. It definitely looked like clothes. In middle of the oval was just gray.”
He thought maybe it was the back of hunters' heads. “But it looked too strange, too crazy.”
Later, he drew what he could remember of them in a leather bound sketchbook he carries with him. And he drew what he saw next.
Weirded out
Brinkley hurried back to where Lucero was still waiting. Still no elk. “I was a little weirded out,” he told his friend.
He told Lucero he had seen a couple of hunters and that’s probably what had scared off the elk. He couldn’t bring himself at first to say what he might have just imagined.
They went back to camp. “I couldn’t take it any more,” Brinkley said. “I told him what I saw was weird. They were too tall, their heads were too big to be hunters.”
“Anyone who knows me knows I don’t tell these weird stories.”
Lucero said he had known something was up when Brinkley had walked quickly and noisily up to his position at the field. Normally his friend is quiet, a hunter’s slower, more measured speed through the bushes.
After Brinkley told him, Lucero felt a little weird, too. “I didn’t know what to believe,” Lucero said.
Brinkley kind of wrote off what he saw.
A strange structure
On Labor Day (Sept. 2), they headed out again to hunt early in the morning and hiked all around the area. No elk. They got back to their Jeep at about 2:30 p.m.
“We couldn’t figure out why there was no elk,” Brinkley said.
They decided to drive to the other side of the mountain and see if there were other hunters or four-wheelers scaring off the elk. As they drove, the men saw no signs of any wildlife at all, they said.
They drove about 10 minutes, when they saw it. They both work with movie sets. At first they thought it was a movie base camp. “It’s this big tent structure, like a circus tent, 50-60 feet tall. Coming off the left of it was this long building, almost like what you would build for an archery lane for target practice. It was a third the height, but really long, maybe a couple hundred feet.”
They were about a quarter mile away and couldn’t see the bottom of the structure.
They watched it for about a minute as they drove.
“What is it,” he asked Lucero, “a base camp for a movie? Or are they building an alien ship set?”
They drove down a little hill, lost sight of the structure for at most five seconds, Brinkley said.
“When we topped the hill, it was gone. Just gone.”
Lucero said he was watching it the whole time while Brinkley drove except for those few seconds. “There was no dust, there was nothing,” Lucero said.
They drove around the area searching for what they had seen until dark.
Nothing.
“I just know it was real," Brinkley said. "It was huge and white and then gone.”
‘Profoundly unsettling’
When the two men reached a place with cell signal, they told a few friends what they had seen. They thought about calling the Air Force. A friend put them in touch with Peter Davenport, longtime executive director of the National UFO Reporting Center in Washington state.
Davenport confirmed they had called him. “It was a dramatic story,” he said. “If it is true, it is profoundly unsettling.”
He said out of the thousands of calls he gets every year about supposed alien sightings, they rarely describe seeing aliens on the ground.
They aren’t the first hunters to see something they can’t explain. Four hunters in Challis, Idaho, in 2000 described having a large triangular craft hover a couple of hundred feet above them before moving off over the mountains.
After listening to some 350,000 phone calls over 25 years, Davenport thinks he can tell those that are credible.
This was one of them, he said.
Brinkley and Lucero said they weren’t drinking and weren’t on drugs.
The hardest thing is telling their story. “People probably think we are insane,” Brinkley said
He said he didn’t believe in UFOs. “I sure do now,” he said.
Lucero said he doesn’t know about aliens. “I just know I’ve never seen anything that big just disappear.”
“The two aliens, you can say I imagined that. But you cannot explain something that big just — gone,” Brinkley said.
After telling their strange tale, the hunters did what they came to do - go try one more time to find elk.
Zoiets kan niet zomaar verdwijnen’. Zijn de aliens weer geland in New Mexico? Deze jagers beweren van wel in Buitenaards 16 september 2019 19:00 2 Reacties 2,765 Bekeken
‘Zoiets kan niet zomaar verdwijnen’. Zijn de aliens weer geland in New Mexico? Deze jagers beweren van wel
New Mexico is bekend geworden vanwege Roswell, waar in 1947 een UFO zou zijn gecrasht. Zijn er nu opnieuw aliens geland?
Twee jagers uit New Mexico hebben rond de plaats Taos iets vreemds gezien toen ze aan het jagen waren.
Josh Brinkley en Daniel Lucero werden op een plek die Pot Mountain heet naar eigen zeggen geconfronteerd met buitenaardse wezens.
Ruimtereizigers
“Ze leken meer op ruimtereizigers dan die ET-achtige aliens,” zei Brinkley.
Op de eerste dag van de trip dacht hij twee andere jagers te zien. “Ze hadden grote hoofden en zwarte lichamen,” zei hij.
De volgende dag kwamen de jagers aan bij iets wat op een filmset leek. “Ik dacht dat het een kamp was of zo,” zei Brinkley.
Bouwwerk
Toen ze het 30 meter lange bouwwerk naderden, liep het pad iets omlaag, waarna het opeens in zijn geheel verdween.
“Het is onmogelijk dat het snel is weggehaald door een truck of met een trailer,” zei Lucero.
“Zoiets kan niet zomaar verdwijnen,” voegde hij toe.
Geloofwaardige melding
De mannen zeiden dat de ervaring hun ogen heeft geopend en dat ze nu geloven in het bestaan van aliens.
“Het overkwam een stel gasten die verder eigenlijk nergens in geloven,” zei Brinkley.
De jagers hebben hun waarneming gemeld bij het National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC). De directeur heeft gezegd dat het gaat om een geloofwaardige melding.
