A cluster of UFOs hovering over the Black Sea, Russia

What are they doing? Is it something natural not accomplishing anything? If they are being navigated, I want to know if there is a reason these have been hanging out in such low areas around people like they want to be seen.

I've seen em, I've seen so many reports about them and other videos. It's all just the same thing. They appear all bright, do a floaty swirly and maybe zip around some, and they disappear. What gives?

Space defense system firing from earth to space threat? - NASA STS 48 footage

The video you are seeing is from a live broadcast of the Space Shuttle Discovery Mission STS-48 between 8:30PM and 8:45PM GMT on september the 15th, 1991 near the west coast of Australia.

While the discovery is about 355 miles or 570 km above earth, you see some interesting things going on and above earths surface. There is no question that this video is staged or a hoax as it has been captured from an official NASA feed and they even have an official statement about the event as well. NASA learned quickly that is impossible to redact something, once it's been aired. Maybe that's the reason why they don't do any live feeds anymore?

The first thing we see is something appearing, either by decloaking or hitting sunlight. It moves in a straight line until it seems to slow down a bit and suddenly we see a big flash in the left side of the screen. Immediatly reacting to the flash, the object we were following makes a VERY sharp turn and seems to accelerate at insane speeds away from earth. And then it happens. We see some sort of plasma or missle to be fired from earth only missing the unknown object barely.

Notice there seems to be another UFO changing direction and a second projectile being from earth as well.
The explanation from NASA is that we are just witnessing some debris, like chunks of ice and bits of insulation that are being affected by the RCS jet. My first question is, how come there are some bright objects appearing out of nowhere? If it was really the sun, why isn't it the same on on the other objects we see flying? And why does the first object seem to slow down just before we see the flash or the supposedly jet being fired? Or are we witnessing something far more sinister like
some kind of earth defense system like the Star Wars program? Or even an Alien defense system? To me, the objects seem much further away then is claimed by nasa,but with the quality of the video, it's hard to tell. A few minutes later, they also pan the camera, away from the scene and just show some parts of the discovery,another red flag in my eyes.

Coincidence or not, this is and will continue to be one of the most unsettling videos in the history of the UFO phenomena. I hope one day, we'll get a clear answer.

What do you guys think? Is it in fact chunks of ice or insulation that are effected by the plume field of the jet firing? Or did we really just see some sort of earth or alien defense system against a suposed threat? Let me know in the comments below! Would love to hear what you guys think?

US Government is Holding Evidence of UFO Wreckage, Fox News Host Claims

Tucker Carlson, a vocal host of Fox News, has stunningly alleged the US government is hiding proof of UFO wreckage from the public.

Recently appeared on the Ancient Aliens of History Channel, the conservative political commentator was asked about his knowledge on extraterrestrial life.

Talking to journalist Nick Pope, Tucker said that he heard it from someone who he believes is knowledgeable in the subject. He claimed that there’s physical evidence that the American government is hiding that would tell a lot more about what are these objects.

Tucker revealed that the person who told him is someone who worked on the subject within the government for many years and who would know.

Tucker has sparked waves of controversies on his show Tucker Carlson Tonight over the years.

Three days after an El Paso, Texas mass shooting in August, where a shooter wrote a manifesto on a “Hispanic invasion of Texas,” he stated that white supremacy wasn’t a real issue.

In December 2018, he said about immigrants that we have a moral obligation to admit the world is poor even if it makes our nation poorer, dirtier, and more divided.

Secret Officials Boarded US Navy Ship to Get Equipment Following Alleged UFO Encounter

The US Navy confirmed in September that three videos possibly showing UFOs were of an unidentified and unauthorised nature. This has eventually sparked a new wave of revelations from Navy officers who were involved in the subject.

Ex-naval officer Ryan Weigelt was on board the USS Princeton when fighter pilots encountered a Tic Tac-shaped UFO close to the coast of San Diego in 2004. He has opened up about a group of officials boarding the ship to retrieve some secret details following the incident.

US fighter pilots of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group encountered a UFO on November 14, 2004, that was recorded on video and released to the public in 2017 under the title FLIR1, alongside two other videos titled Gimbal and GoFast, which were caught in January 2015.

Former Pentagon official Luis Elizondo acquired all three videos, and Blink-182 singer-lead research organisation To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science released them.

Lead Petty Officer Weigelt revealed that a group of military personnel from the US Air force landed on his ship without assignment shortly after the fighter jets spotted the strange object.

The group then allegedly went straight to the Admiral’s Quarter and retrieved some details from USS Princeton helicopters. Weigelt said that he could not tell what it was they had retrieved, but it was something needed to fly their aircraft.

The former officer explained that the group had taken off something from their aircraft, and there was no way they could safely fly their aircraft in a battle group without it. He then revealed that the group of mysterious officials ordered the USS Princeton to harbour at a nearby marina while leaving the missile cruiser by a rigid-hulled inflatable boat (RIB).

The lead petty officer said that it was the first time in his several military cruises that they pulled in during a work-up to a harbour for any reason whatsoever.

The former naval officer then concluded that these guys were looking for data on the UFOs.

Unidentified Flying Objects – the reality, the cover-up and the truth

Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs as they are commonly known, have been witnessed by millions of people all over the world and have been recorded in history books, myths, legends and traditions for thousands of years. However, many accounts that are recorded in ancient texts are dismissed as mere myths and legends, while UFO sightings that have taken place in the last few centuries have been classified as misinterpretations of natural phenomena, illusions, or conspiracy theories.

History has shown us time and again that a plethora of so-called ‘myths’ have their basis in reality. It is possible, and indeed likely, that stories and legends were a way for people to explain real—and perhaps perplexing—events using the knowledge and beliefs of their time. In support of this theory, a number of events described in mythology, which were once considered mere fairy tales, have now been proven through archaeology to have existed. A famous example is the city Troy, which is central to Homer’s ‘The Iliad’. Long considered to be a city of myth, Heinrich Schliemann’s discovery of the actual site in 1868 elevated it to a place in history. Nevertheless, the remainder of The Iliad is still viewed as a myth and fantasy without any serious attempts being made to investigate whether or not there may be more truth behind the tale.  The same goes for many accounts of ‘flying machines’, which we find reference to in countless mythologies from numerous different cultures around the world.

Many cultures contain pictorial and written records of ‘flying machines’, yet these are usually dismissed as myth and legend.

It is common to see people selectively decide what is real and what is not and all of this on the unsubstantiated assumption that ancient people were primitive and had little to no knowledge compared to us today. On the contrary, many ancient civilizations, like the Sumerians, Indus Valley, and Egyptians existed with complex social structures, legal systems, art, astronomy, mathematics, and technology, some of which is still not fully understood today. The Antikythera Mechanism, for example, is a 2,200-year-old mechanical device that is still not completely understood despite decades of research by top scientists around the world.

Ancient Astronaut Theory

The topic of flying objects and supernatural beings from out of our world is one in which we find multiple references in mythologies.  All of these myths and legends, along with archaeological evidence such as rock art depictions, have created a wave of theories that gave birth to the ‘Ancient Astronaut’ perspective, which links all of these ancient references and depictions to UFOs, and posits that extra-terrestrials visited Earth and made contact with humans in antiquity and prehistory, influencing the development of human cultures, technologies, and religions.

Unfortunately, there are numerous charlatans who have tried to ‘cash in’ on this movement for profit or publicity, or who have diminished it with caricatures of little green men, resulting in the ancient astronaut perspective being widely criticized and attacked for its lack of credibility. Consequently, what is in fact a plausible and possible explanation for what we see in ancient art and texts, is now rarely examined by scholars, who fear being ridiculed or having their professional career seriously undermined.

UFO sightings in recent history

But let’s leave the ancient past for a while and examine just the last 80 years of human history. Millions of people all over the globe have witnessed unidentified flying objects. Many have been recorded in detailed reports witnessed by police, pilots, astronauts, government officials, pilots, military personnel and, of course, ordinary citizens. Some of the more well-known cases were witnessed by thousands of people at one time. Historical records make it evident that UFO appearances magnified during and after World War II, including the example of the famous ‘ Foo Fighters’ .

While most sightings can be explained either by celestial phenomena, airplanes, planets, weather phenomena, military exercises, or in some cases drug use or mental instability, there still exists a small percentage that cannot be accounted for by any of these explanations. This is what makes the phenomena important and not to be ignored, particularly considering that sightings are frequently reported around military bases and airfields and are therefore, at the very least, a matter of both national security and air safety.

It is an undeniable fact that there are cases of unidentified objects in our skies. It has been acknowledged by the major governments from all over the world simply through the very fact that official research has been conducted on the matter in the US, UK, Russia, Europe, China, South America, and many others. All of this research, in every single case, concluded that there is a percentage of phenomena that cannot be explained.

In the past decade, many countries have declassified their UFO research files, releasing thousands of documents through the Freedom of Information Act and making numerous UFO cases available in the public domain. One recently released document from the UFO files in Britain, revealed how Churchill, concerned about the UFO issue, ordered a shutdown of information for at least 50 years to prevent mass panic and the potential to undermine religious beliefs. The document in question was also published on the BBC news site in 2010.

By doing careful research on the topic, passing over obvious scam and fake stories, it is clear to see that unidentified flying objects do exist. So the question is not whether they exist or not, but rather, what are they? Are they of terrestrial or extra-terrestrial origin? And what is their purpose?

UFOs and the limits of science

Many prominent scientists have already stated that other civilizations must exist in the Universe, and that it would be statistically impossible for this not to be the case. However, with our knowledge of science and technology today, we cannot yet support the means for  interstellar travel, and since we have not discovered intelligent life in our solar system, the assumption is made that there must be no way that extra-terrestrials could have travelled to Earth. However, this argument is of course flawed because it is based within the framework of our own understanding of the universe, and does not take into account the capabilities of civilizations that may be millions of years ahead of our own.  It also hinges on the following assumptions:

1. We know everything about physics and reality and therefore there is no way that such distant travel can be achieved.
2. We are using our means to try to contact other civilizations (e.g. SETI’s attempts to pick up radio or communication signals) and since we don’t perceive any signals of OUR type, nothing must exist.
3. We are looking for organic forms of life exactly like us and for planets with the exact same conditions as ours.

It is clear that these arguments show the arrogance of mankind, a mankind that may just be an infant in the Universe. And this is not new. During the history of humanity, in every single period of time, we believed that we knew the truth, only to have it replaced later on by new ‘knowledge’. 

There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement,
- Lord Kelvin, 1901, physicist

Quantum physics, still a relatively new and unexplored field in Science, has shown that reality could be completely different to what we believe it to be. Powerful telescopes have shown distant planets in solar systems that could possibly sustain life. Theories of wormholes and warp drives have shown that at a theoretical level we could achieve interstellar travel. Yes, we would require incredible amounts of energy to even think of trying to achieve something like this, so according to our standards today it is impossible to achieve, but in theory it can be achieved.

“It now seems quite clear that Earth is not the only inhabited planet. There is evidence that the bulk of the stars in the sky have planetary systems. Recent research concerning the origin of life on Earth suggests that the physical and chemical processes leading to the origin of life occur rapidly in the early history of the majority of planets within our Milky Way galaxy–perhaps as many as a million–are inhabited by technical civilizations in advance of our own. Interstellar space flight is far beyond our present technical capabilities, but there seems to be no fundamental physical objections to preclude, from our own vantage point, the possibility of its development by other civilizations.” 

Carl Sagan, Ph.D. (Late Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences, Cornell University)

Reluctance to engage with the UFO subject

The reason that the scientific community is not dealing seriously with UFOs is because the topic has been extensively ridiculed both by the media and in academic circles, with false information spread everywhere.  For similar reasons, military personnel, astronauts, pilots, and other categories of professionals do not want to talk because, either they have been forced to sign confidentiality agreements, or because of fear that their careers would be destroyed. This is why we have seen many examples of ‘death bed confessions’.

One such case was with astronaut Gordon Cooper, who told the world about his experience encountering a UFO during his flight in the Mercury capsule in 1963. Before he died he stated: “for many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us”.

While great efforts have been made to ridicule and disparage anyone who lends support to the existence of UFOs, the fact remains that there are numerous high-profile cases that are supported by solid evidence, and which should not be dismissed.

Recorded UFO sightings with extensive witness support

Below I present a very limited list constituting strong evidence for the existence of unidentified flying objects in the last 60 years.

• NOVEMBER 1942 – LA INCIDENT, KNOWN AS THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES

It all happened in the early hours of February 25 in 1942. An aircraft flew over LA County that sparked an air raid alert (it was in the midst of WWII). Searchlights and guns were locked onto the aircraft for about an hour. The picture below appeared in the LA Times in a story about the Battle of LA It clearly shows a night time defensive response to an air raid. The aircraft was not hostile and obviously was not damaged by the attack. The Government stated that the craft they were shooting at was unidentified.

• DECEMBER 1980 – RENDLESHAM FOREST INCIDENT , SUFFOLK UK

This incident involved a group of American servicemen stationed at a military base in Suffolk that contained a storage centre with nuclear weapons.  There had been three consecutive night of sighting objects in the sky over the base, in some cases shining a light down upon the nuclear weapons storage. On the third night, approximately two dozen servicemen were sent into the forest to investigate one set of mysterious lights. The men reported seeing a spacecraft on the ground in close proximity to them and three extra-terrestrial beings. One serviceman claimed to have touched the craft.  The whole incident was filmed and photographed by one of the servicemen, but all photos and videos were removed by the US military. When the British Government released the UFO files, the Rendlesham incident papers were missing – as reported on BBC .

• NOVEMBER 1986, JAPAN AIR LINES FLIGHT 1628 OVER ALASKA

In November, 1986, a Japanese crew of a jumbo freighter aircraft witnessed three enormous unidentified objects while flying over Alaska, USA. This sighting gained international attention when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it was going to officially investigate this sighting because the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Anchorage, Alaska, had reported that the UFO had been detected on radar. The UFOs in this case were tracked on both ground and airborne radar, witnessed by experienced airline pilots, and confirmed by a FAA Division Chief.

• APRIL 1990 – BELGIUM UFO WAVE, PETIT RECHAIN BELGIUM

The Belgium UFO wave began in November 1989. The events of 29 November would be documented by no less than thirty different groups of witnesses, and three separate groups of police officers. All of the reports related to a large object flying at low altitude. The craft was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath. This giant craft did not make a sound as it slowly moved across the landscape of Belgium. The Belgium UFO wave peaked with events on the night of 30/31 March 1990. On that night, unknown objects were tracked on radar, chased by two Belgian Air Force F16s, photographed, and were sighted by an estimated 13,500 people on the ground – 2,600 of whom filed written statements describing in detail what they had seen. Following the incident, the Belgian air force released a report detailing the events of that night.

• MARCH 1997 – PHOENIX LIGHTS , ARIZONA, US

The Phoenix Lights (also identified as "Lights over Phoenix") was a UFO sighting which occurred in Phoenix, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997. Lights of varying descriptions were seen by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, in a space of about 300 miles (480 km), from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson. Witnesses claim to have observed a huge square-shaped UFO, containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines. Fife Symington, the governor at the time, was one witness to this incident; he later called the object "otherworldly."

• OCTOBER 2004 – OSAKA AIRPORT, JAPAN

On the night of August 30, a cluster of multi-colored lights was seen floating in the sky above Osaka. Several people reported to Twitter that they saw a group of lights forming a triangular shape and flashing green, red and white in the night sky above Izumi city in Osaka Prefecture. The sightings caused a commotion on Twitter after one user wrote: “Everyone in Osaka, go outside! There’s a UFO!” prompting others to grab their cameras and snap up photos of mysterious luminous object.

• NOVEMBER 2006, O-HARE AIRPORT, USA

At approximately 16:15 CST on Tuesday November 7, 2006, federal authorities at Chicago O'Hare International Airport received a report that a group of twelve airport employees were witnessing a metallic, saucer-shaped craft hovering over Gate C-17.

The object was first spotted by a ramp employee who was pushing back United Airlines Flight 446, which was departing Chicago for Charlotte, North Carolina. The employee apprised Flight 446's crew of the object above their aircraft. It is believed that both the pilot and co-pilot also witnessed the object.

Several independent witnesses outside of the airport also saw the object. According to the Chicago Tribune's Jon Hilkevitch, "The disc was visible for approximately two minutes and was seen by close to a dozen United Airlines employees, ranging from pilots to supervisors, who heard chatter on the radio and raced out to view it."

• MAY 2007, UFO FLEETS, LIMA, PERU

The incident took place on May 2007 at 14.00 local time in Lima Peru. A series of moving lights resembling an armada of flying objects appeared in the skies. The story was reported on the news and was seen by thousands of people.

UFO Fleets, Lima, Peru

• JULY 2010 – XIAOSHAN AIRPORT , CHINA

An unidentified flying object that disrupted air traffic in Hangzhou for an hour on Wednesday, 10 ^th of July 2010. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi. Eighteen flights were affected. A spokesman from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) confirmed to ABC News that the matter is under investigation. He declined to disclose further details. A day after the sighting, however, an anonymous source told China Daily that authorities already discovered the identity of the UFO after an investigation but could not publically disclose the information because "there was a military connection."

Xiaoshan Airport UFO Incident, China

Disclosure

Many would say that the above examples constitute irrefutable proof that extra-terrestrial UFOs exist. So why isn’t the public told about it?  Imagine the implications that disclosure would have and what it would mean. Acknowledgment of extra-terrestrial civilizations having visited Earth would mean that many of the myths and legends of the past are in fact based on reality. It would suggests that humanity has been influenced for millennia by other-worldly beings, beings that in the past were considered gods. Disclosure would entirely topple the status quo and the balance of powers in society, and turn upside down what we know about the history of mankind.

The acknowledgement of the UFO phenomena is an event with the power to bring a global revolution in every sector of our lives today – technology and energy supply, communication and environmental concerns, society and religion.  Is this what governments and corporations are afraid of – a shift in balance and their loss of their positions of power and control? Or is it that the powers that be are afraid of re-writing our human history?

“When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science, but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum leap.”

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has returned some amazing high-resolution photos of the surface of the moon, including these ones of steep cliffs and impact melt inside a young crater called Giordano Bruno.

You might think of the moon as gray, rocky and dusty, a bleak and desolate world. But in fact, the moon is a beautiful place in its own way, and does offer some incredible scenery with its many craters and mountains. This view inside a crater from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is a great example, and as the article title says, spectacular.

The stunning view inside a young crater in the top image shows how otherworldly yet starkly and serenely majestic the moon can be.

These photos were taken by LRO in August 2017, from an altitude of 70 miles (113 km). Giordano Bruno Crater is one of the youngest large craters on the moon, 13 miles (21 km) in diameter, and located at 35.97 degrees north latitude, 102.89 degrees east longitude. There is a lot of surface brightness (albedo) contrast visible, as the sun was high above the horizon at the time, and the only shadows seen are from steep cliffs and large boulders.

The steep cliff – the inside wall of the crater – rises a staggering 9,843 feet (3,000 meters) above the bottom of the crater, where you see a large melt pool of ancient liquified rock, left over from the huge impact that created the crater. Can you imagine yourself standing there and gazing up at this massive crater wall in front of you?

The impacts that create craters like these are powerful. Here, a large rocky asteroid or meteor – up to 1.2 miles (2 km) in size – slammed into the moon about ten times faster than a speeding bullet. As typically happens, the impacting rock created a hole in the ground much larger than the rock itself. A tremendous amount of heat and pressure are released during the impact, which melts a lot of the rock. This created a temporary pool of melted rock – the melt pool – which sloshed and flowed, almost like water. Over time, the melted rock cooled and solidified, leaving the darker-colored melt pool we see today. You can still see where the melted rock flowed across the crater floor, filling depressions.

There is also some interesting dark, rubbly material on the bottom floor of the crater, which may be from basaltic dikes or perhaps impact melt glass, called impactite. Could it be similar to what China’s Yutu-2 rover recently found on the far side of the moon?

It isn’t known yet exactly how old the crater is, but the well-preserved forms of the impact melt flows and the sparsity of other smaller craters inside it show that it is quite young geologically-speaking, probably less than 10 million years.

Some of the LRO images of this crater have a pixel scale as small as 1.6 to 1.8 meters (5.5 to 6 feet). When in its lowest orbit, LRO obtained images of the crater with an impressive resolution of 50 centimeters (20 inches).

LRO was launched on June 18, 2009, and has been returning a wealth of science data ever since, as well as stunning views like these.

Bottom line: This is a spectacular view inside a younger crater on the moon, as seen by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

UFO Researcher Explains Why She Sold 'Exotic' Metal to Tom DeLonge

The U.S. Army will now look for "demonstrable physical phenomena" in a piece of metal the UFOlogist says came from an alien spacecraft.

By MJ Banias

The UFO researcher who sold bits of ‘exotic’ metal to former Blink-182 singer turned UFO mogul Tom DeLonge for $35,000 explained to Motherboard why she parted with the artifact and what will happen to it now.

In 2017, the New York Times ran an article about a secret Pentagon UFO program known as the “Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.” The article noted that aerospace billionaire Robert Bigelow, whose interest in UFOs is no secret, modified buildings to house “metal alloys and other materials…that [allegedly] had been recovered from unidentified aerial phenomena.” Earlier this year, DeLonge’s UFO outfit To The Stars Academy paid $35,000 for ‘exotic’ metamaterials according to its September SEC filings.

TTSA bought the metals from Linda Moulton Howe, a UFO researcher, in order to “conduct rigorous scientific evaluations to determine its function and possible applications,” the company said in a press release in July. In October, the company entered into a partnership with the US Army to research the metal and also study some pretty wild science, such as active camouflage, inertial mass reduction, and quantum communication.

In an interview, Moulton Howe said that she and Art Bell, the late host of Coast to Coast AM, acquired the metal in 1996, along with a handful of letters from an alleged sergeant in the United States Army who still remains anonymous. Moulton Howe has made some pretty wild claims about the metal: She says that the sergeant’s grandfather yanked the metal off a wedge-shaped craft that crashed in 1947 near the White Sands proving grounds in New Mexico. She has also publicly claimed that the crash recovery team discovered two dead aliens and one that was still alive.

Moulton Howe and DeLonge both believe that, by blasting the metals with a magnetic field, it will float: “They had a piece and they explored whether magnetic fields would cause it to turn into a lifting body. Different frequencies,” Moulton Howe said. These are the same materials mentioned by DeLonge on his Joe Rogan interview where he stated, “if you hit it with enough terahertz, it’ll float.”

In any case, the metal is of interest to not only DeLonge and Moulton Howe, but also to the US Army, which told Motherboard that it would be studying metals like it by blasting it with magnetic fields and looking for “demonstrable physical phenomena.”

“The USG and US Army Ground Vehicle Systems Center has broad ranging Materials Analysis and Electro-Magnetic Spectrum laboratory capabilities at our disposal,” Jerry Aliotta, a U.S. Army spokesperson, told Motherboard. “There are materials and technologies of interest that TTSA possesses that we will evaluate and exploit.”

“If a novel physical phenomenon is discovered or empirical data exists that points us in a certain direction with a given material sample, we will certainly apply the appropriate laboratory and appropriate stimulus to it to study the resultant phenomena and apply it to ground vehicle applications,” he continued.

Moulton Howe didn’t initially have interest in selling the metals—she’s been trying to do experiments on them for decades, but hasn’t had access to laboratories capable of running some more advanced tests on them.

According to Moulton Howe, she took the pieces of a bismuth magnesium alloy to Carnegie Science’s Department of Technical Magnetism in 1996 to have them assessed. The findings at the time were not able to prove that they were from an alien world, she said.

She didn’t give up then, however. Dr. Hal Puthoff, chair of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Austin Texas and To The Stars chief scientist and co-founder, studied the pieces on several occasions.

In a 2012 letter to Moulton Howe that she sent to Motherboard, Puthoff explained that his tests “did not yield an interesting/anomalous outcome in the tests involving the application of various fields.”

He then explained that another test could be done with special instrumentation. Moulton Howe told Motherboard that she believes those tests are going to be done by the U.S. Army.

While Moulton Howe continued to have the metal tested, she received a phone call in July 2018 from To The Stars.

“They call me up and say ‘we'd like to be able to do an agreement where you could come to San Diego and deliver the piece to us,’” Moulton Howe said. “We've got a lab that we're pretty sure they're going to be able to do the terahertz test.”

According to Moulton Howe, several attempts were made to test the metal by TTSA, but they kept bumping into technical problems. She then received a phone call from Steve Justice, the former director of Lockheed Martin’s Skunkworks and TTSA’s COO, who said the Army might be interested in the metals.

With some sadness, Moulton Howe decided that her only option was to sell the pieces of metal to Tom DeLonge. “I don't want to stop the science,” Moulton Howe stated. “And I don't want to stop what may be the only way they're going to be able to test this.”

“And the $35,000 figure is probably, well, they think is so low that they couldn't believe it. How do you estimate the value?,” Moulton Howe said. “I figure I've spent about $900 to $2,000 a year from 1996 to 2019 in all the various things that I've done.”

Dr. Chris Cogswell, who holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and hosts the Mad Scientist Podcast told Motherboard in July stated that he believes metals like the one being discussed “are made by mistake in metallurgy facilities all the time. The purification of lead by removing bismuth using magnesium is a perfectly reasonable explanation.” Cogswell went on to explain that similar alloys are the by product of the Betterton-Kroll process

Motherboard contacted To The Stars for more information but it declined to comment.

Want to see the sun in a whole new way?

Now you can do just that by looking through a host of science data newly made available to the public. That information was gathered by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its first two close passes of the sun. The flybys brought the spacecraft closer to the sun than any previous vehicle had gone, offering scientists an incredible opportunity to learn more about our star.

"Parker Solar Probe is crossing new frontiers of space exploration, giving us so much new information about the sun," Nour E. Raouafi, Parker Solar Probe project scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, said in a statement. "Releasing this data to the public will allow them not only to contribute to the success of the mission along with the scientific community, but also to raise the opportunity for new discoveries to the next level."

Parker Solar Probe launched in August 2018 for a seven-year mission that is targeting the constant stream of highly charged plasma leaving the sun, called the solar wind, and the star's outer atmosphere, called the corona. Studying these phenomena requires getting incredibly close to the sun; the spacecraft primarily gathers data while within about 23 million miles (37 million kilometers) of our star.

Onboard are four science experiments: Fields Experiment, which studies electric and magnetic fields; Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun, which measures high-energy charged particles in the solar wind and corona; Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe, which images the solar wind and other structures; and Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons Investigation, which measures different types of particles in the solar wind.

And now, you too can pore through data gathered by those instruments during the first two flybys: Oct. 31-Nov. 12, 2018, and March 30-April 19, 2019. During the second flyby, mission engineers were able to increase the amount of data the spacecraft sent home, thanks to better data-return rates than expected. There is no central hub for the data, but NASA has provided a list of websites to explore.

According to the same NASA statement, the first full-fledged science results from the mission should be published later this year.

Parker Solar Probe has also already made its third flyby of the sun; the spacecraft's next closest approach is on Jan. 29, 2020.

NASA's Life-Hunting Mars 2020 Rover Will Search for Alien Microfossils

By Mike Wall - Science & Astronomy 

If life once existed in Jezero Crater, signs of it may well persist there to this day.

The life-hunting grounds could be pretty rich for NASA's next Mars rover.

Jezero Crater, the 28-mile-wide (45 kilometers) hole in the ground that the Mars 2020 rover will begin exploring in February 2021, has ample deposits of minerals that are good at preserving microfossils here on Earth, two new studies have found.

One of those minerals is hydrated silica. After poring over data gathered by the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) instrument aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a team of researchers identified two Jezero outcrops that are rich in the stuff, Jesse Tarnas and colleagues reported this month in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

"We know from Earth that this mineral phase is exceptional at preserving microfossils and other biosignatures, so that makes these outcrops exciting targets for the rover to explore," Tarnas, a Ph.D. student in planetary science at Brown University, said in a statement.

Just like the 96-mile-wide (154 km) Gale Crater, which NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has been exploring since August 2012, Jezero apparently hosted a lake in the ancient past. Orbital imagery has also revealed the remnants of a large delta in Jezero, which marks where a river drained into the lake. 

Deltas are good areas to search for signs of life, because these regions concentrate deposits from all over a river system. Indeed, the presence of a delta is one of the reasons NASA chose Jezero as the Mars 2020 landing site.

One of the newfound hydrated silica outcrops lies at the edge of the Jezero delta at low elevation, Tarnas and his team found. If the minerals formed where they now lie — which is no guarantee, since the material could have been washed in from afar — they may represent the delta's lowest layer.

"The material that forms the bottom layer of a delta is sometimes the most productive in terms of preserving biosignatures," co-author Jack Mustard, a professor of Earth, environmental and planetary sciences at Brown (and a professor of environmental studies there as well), said in the same statement. "So, if you can find that bottomset layer, and that layer has a lot of silica in it, that’s a double bonus."

In the other new study, which was published online Monday (Nov. 11) in the journal Icarus, a different team of researchers used CRISM data to identify a "bathtub ring" of carbonate minerals in Jezero. Here on Earth, organisms use carbonates — minerals that contain the carbonate ion, CO3 — to build sturdy structures that can survive for billions of years in fossil form. Seashells, for example, are made of calcium carbonate. 

"CRISM spotted carbonates here years ago, but we only recently noticed how concentrated they are right where a lakeshore would be," study lead author Briony Horgan, an assistant professor of planetary science at Purdue University in Indiana, said in a different statement. 

"We're going to encounter carbonate deposits in many locations throughout the mission, but the bathtub ring will be one of the most exciting places to visit," Horgan added.

Again, the carbonates' history is unclear; it's unknown when they formed. But the Mars 2020 team is excited by the prospect that the carbonates were deposited when water sloshed in Jezero Crater.

"Carbonate chemistry on an ancient lakeshore is a fantastic recipe for preserving records of ancient life and climate," Mars 2020 deputy project scientist Ken Williford, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in the statement. (JPL leads the Mars 2020 mission.) "We're eager to get to the surface and discover how these carbonates formed."

Carbonates themselves aren't biosignatures; there are many different types, and most of them have nothing to do with life. But carbonate minerals form via the interaction of carbon dioxide and liquid water, so studying their presence and abundance could help reveal insights about Mars' long-ago transition from a relatively warm and wet world to the cold desert planet that it is today, researchers said.

Mars 2020, which will soon get a new moniker via a student naming competition, is scheduled to launch in July 2020 and arrive on Jezero's floor on Feb. 18, 2021. Another life-hunting Mars rover, the European-Russian robot Rosalind Franklin, will hit the red dirt in another, yet-to-be-announced location at around the same time.

3 Black Holes Possibly Seen Cooking Their Galaxies Alive

By Rafi Letzter - Science & Astronomy 

Without the turbulence, the galaxies would die in just a few billion years.

Supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies may be blasting hot, turbulent waves of gas through the cosmos, keeping galaxy clusters alive with their heat.

And for the first time, astrophysicists believe they've seen that turbulence in action.

Peer into a massive galaxy cluster and you'll see hot gas swirling at its core, filling the space between stars and galaxies. But there's a mystery about this gas. How does it stay so hot? Simple models suggest it should lose energy much faster than it does, and that gravity should start bind the whole cloud together into stars within about a billion years of it forming. Those stars would, in turn, burn out, and the galaxy would die with them. Astrophysicists call this process "catastrophic cooling." But this doesn’t happen.

• Related: 9 Ideas About Black Holes That Will Blow Your Mind

It turns out, back in 2005, researchers found a partial explanation for why not. They found bubbles forming within those dense gas clouds, giant cavities in space — some as large as the Milky Way. These giant bubbles were moving away from the supermassive black holes at the galactic centers, and in turn, researchers wrote, seemed to prevent catastrophic cooling.

But the question remained: How does all that energy transfer into the gas around the bubbles? In a new paper, published to the arXiv database Nov. 18 (the paper has not yet gone through the formal peer review process), researchers report evidence of turbulence around the bubbles: swirls and eddies that spin off smaller swirls and eddies, which spin off smaller swirls still. Over time, the theory goes, that chaotic behavior reaches the microscopic level, where it dissipates as heat.

"You can picture the bubble as a spoon that's stirring the hot tea," study lead author Yuan Li, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Berkeley, told Live Science.

The spoon creates a "bulk motion" of the tea, but pull out the spoon and you'll notice smaller swirls forming in the liquid, which create even smaller eddies. When the eddies stop spinning, it's because their energy has converted into heat, she said. In a mug on your table, the heating isn't very dramatic; you'd struggle to boil water just by stirring it. But the energy of the bubbles moving through space is much more intense, and it seems like turbulence converts a significant fraction of it from kinetic energy to heat.

Li and her co-authors didn't make any new observations to find the turbulence. Instead, they spotted it in data already available from the galaxy clusters Perseus, Abell 2597 and Virgo.

Filaments of cooler gas thread through the clouds at the centers of those galaxies, Li said. This incredibly precise, high-resolution data allowed Li to make a map of how fast the gas at each point was moving and in what direction. 

• Related: The 15 Weirdest Galaxies in our Universe

That heat map showed a clear pattern of turbulence. "In a turbulence mode there's big eddies making little eddies making even smaller eddies. You've got a beautiful cascade," Li said.

The "beautiful cascade" appeared to show up in each galaxy cluster's center.

"I didn't expect that, no one expected that," she said.

Even the smallest eddies here are on an unimaginable scale, large enough to easily swallow our solar system. After all, Li said, they're taking place in what amount to dense "trash cans full of galaxies." Brian McNamara, lead author of the 2005 Nature paper that first suggested the bubbles might be warming these gases, said he found the new finding fascinating, but had reservations.

"It's all very interesting. But it's not conclusive to my mind. I'm not completely convinced," McNamara told Live Science. McNamara, who is chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Canada's University of Waterloo, said the most important issue is that the cascades Li and colleagues found don't quite match what you'd expect from turbulence alone. That suggests other effects could be at work, the study authors wrote, or perhaps there's some unknown physics governing the behavior of turbulence in these extreme conditions.

McNamara also wondered whether the researchers had fully disentangled the effects of other kinds of motions in the gases from true turbulence.

He also pointed out that some theorists suspect turbulence may actually cool the gas more than it heats it. 

All that said, he added, this is a good paper with lots of good researchers involved.

"I just think there's more work to be done."

It sounds unbelievable, but a new study from Kagoshima University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan says that exoplanets – thousands of them – could be orbiting supermassive black holes.

Artist’s concept of a black hole with its bright surrounding disk of gas and dust – and jets extending from its poles – plus many orbiting planets.

Exoplanets – worlds orbiting other stars – are common, with billions estimated to exist in our galaxy alone. They’ve been found around all sorts of stars, including sunlike stars, red dwarfs and even pulsars. There also seem to be rogue planets, which don’t orbit any stars, but instead just wander lonely though interstellar space. And now a new study suggests there might be yet another entirely new class of planets, orbiting supermassive black holes.

The intriguing findings were announced by researchers at Kagoshima University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan on November 25, 2019. The new peer-reviewed study was published in The Astrophysical Journal on November 26, 2019.

It sounds like something out of science fiction, but according to the researchers, black holes that have massive disks of dust and gas surrounding them (called circumnuclear disks), just like protoplanetary disks around young stars, could produce planets – a lot of them –  just like the disks around stars. Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) could have thousands of planets orbiting them, the researchers say. Although orbiting the black hole, the planets would likely be a long way from the black hole itself, around 10 light-years. From the paper:

As a natural consequence of the elementary processes of dust growth, we discovered that a new class of planets can be formed around supermassive black holes (SMBHs). We investigated a growth path from submicron sized icy dust monomers to Earth-sized bodies outside the “snow line,” located several parsecs from SMBHs in low luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs).

As Keiichi Wada, a professor at Kagoshima University, said in a statement:

With the right conditions, planets could be formed even in harsh environments, such as around a black hole.

Eiichiro Kokubo, a professor at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, said:

Our calculations show that tens of thousands of planets with 10 times the mass of the Earth could be formed around 10 light-years from a black hole. Around black holes there might exist planetary systems of astonishing scale.

The amount of dust surrounding a supermassive black hole can be enormous, as much as a hundred thousand times the mass of our sun, or about a billion times more than in a typical protoplanetary disk.

How would planets form in such an environment?

In a disk around a black hole, the dust is so dense that it blocks radiation from the black hole itself. This allows temperatures cool enough for icy dust grains to stick together and aggregate, just like they do in protoplanetary disks around stars. The researchers calculated that planets could form in several hundred million years in this manner around black holes.

Such black hole planets can’t yet be directly detected with current telescopes, but the findings open up a tentative and fascinating new field of study. From the paper:

Observing planets around SMBHs should be challenging. The standard techniques to detect exoplanets around stars, i.e., Doppler spectroscopy, transit photometry, gravitational microlensing, or direct imaging are hopeless. Photometry by a hard X-ray interferometer in space might be a possible solution, but the occultation of the accretion disk by the “planets” would be hard to distinguish from the intrinsic time variability of AGNs. The other, indirect way is detecting spectral changes in the millimeter-wavelength due to opacity variation associated with the dust growth as used in the protoplanetary disk.

It’s already known that stars can also orbit black holes, such as the ones orbiting the supermassive black hole – called Sagittarius A* – at the center of our galaxy.

Black holes aren’t really holes, but objects that have gravitational pulls so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. The “surface” of a black hole, called the event horizon, is the boundary where the velocity needed to escape exceeds the speed of light. Matter and radiation fall in, but they can’t get out.

There are two main classes of black holes. Stellar-mass black holes are three to dozens of times the sun’s mass. The supermassive black holes already discussed are 100,000 to billions of solar masses, and are located in the centers of most large galaxies, including ours. There may also be intermediate-mass black holes, about 100 to more than 10,000 solar masses. There are candidates, but they have not yet been confirmed to exist.

Study shows there’s nothing wacky about conspiracy theorists

Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have delved into the world of online conspiracy theories, showing most of the people behind them are actually pretty ordinary.

The study looked at eight years of content, sifting through more than two billion comments posted on Reddit, including everything posted to the subreddit r/conspiracy.

R/conspiracy covers everything from UFOs and 9/11, to political conspiracy theories like 'pizzagate', which took off during the 2016 US election campaign.

But despite the subject matter, lead author of the study Dr Colin Klein says conspiracy theorists aren't always a bunch of "crackpots wearing tinfoil hats".

"In the past before the rise of online forums like Reddit, we tended to only hear about the most extreme views, and those people tended to naturally be wary about talking to someone else about their beliefs," Dr Klein said.

"These massive online forums paint a very different picture.

"The enormous set of comments we examined show many r/conspiracy users actually have more 'sensible' interests.

"For example conspiracy theories about police abuse of power are common. That's not so crazy.

"These people might believe false things, but with good reason - because similar things have happened in the past."

Professor Klein and his team also found that while there are subtle differences in the language used by those who end up posting on r/conspiracy, it's not necessarily enough to set them apart from other Reddit users.

"You might find they talk more about power or power structures, but their language is not that different from what ordinarily goes on in a forum like r/politics. You can't distinguish them that way.

"It's very easy to look at conspiracy theories and think they're super wacky, and the people who believe in them are crazy, but it's actually much more continuous with a lot of things we do every day.

"Low level theorising goes on a lot in everyday life, I'm inclined to think the stuff you see online is just a strong outgrowth of that."

According to Dr Klein, forums like r/conspiracy can also be driven by current events.

"For example, Reddit attracted a whole new set of users following the election of US President Donald Trump.

"He also generates quite a lot of in-fighting amongst users. This is what makes it such great way to study social dynamics."

The data also reveals how people come to start posting on the r/conspiracy forum. The rise of Internet echo chambers is a factor - but there's much more at play.

"We followed people who started using Reddit and posted for about six months before they ended up on r/conspiracy," Dr Klein said.

"You find two people who, for example, both started on the popular 'ask me anything' Reddit, and one ends up talking about conspiracies and one doesn't.

"People who go on to post on r/conspiracy also tend to be over-represented in the political forums, but it's not like they're hyper-focused.

"This suggests a more active process where people are seeking out sympathetic communities. This process of finding like-minded people is something we see a lot of on the Internet."

The research has been published in the journal PLOS ONE.

ONTHULLINGEN DOOR EEN BUITENAARDSE ( VIDEO )

Op aarde leven reptielachtige wezens die hier al langer zijn dan mensen, ze geven lagere vibraties af en hun ogen geven licht in het donker.

Zij leven onder de mensen, zien eruit als mensen en geven moedermelk aan hun kindjes, maar het zijn geen zoogdieren.

Dat onze aarde wordt bezocht door buitenaardsen is voor de meesten onder ons hier niets nieuws. Het feit dat ze ook gewoon onder ons leven is voor velen toch iets dat moeilijk te begrijpen is.

Via een lezer (dank!) kregen wij het volgende zeer interessante bericht over een vrouw die onder hypnose communiceert met een buitenaardse en het volgende is wat hij schrijft:

Mijn moeder heeft mij twee hele interessante Russische video's laten zien (twee delen van één geheel). In deze video wordt een vrouw in hypnose verbonden met een buitenaards wezen (waarschijnlijk reptiloïde). Via die vrouw (die onder hypnose is) worden er heel veel vragen gesteld aan dat wezen en worden er ook veel interessante antwoorden gegeven.

Het wezen waarmee gecommuniceerd werd, had lage vibraties, dus voor hem om via de vrouw te spreken, moesten de vibraties van de vrouw ook worden verlaagd. Na de hypnose moesten de vibraties van de vrouw worden verhoogd. 

Aanvankelijk begon ik tijdens het kijken van de video een paar aantekeningen te maken voor mijzelf. Na een tijdje werd alles zo interessant, dat ik woord voor woord notities begon te maken. Jammer genoeg kon ik niet alles verstaan door geruis (de man die precies in een antwoord in de microfoon blaast) of doordat de vrouw onder hypnose dingen soms heel onduidelijk uitspreekt. Ik heb toch geprobeerd om alles zo goed mogelijk te vertalen, aanvankelijk voor mijzelf, maar daarna dacht ik: "Dit is best interessant. Dit wil de redactie van Niburu vast ook weten! "

Op plekken waarvan ik niet 100% zeker wist of mijn vertaling wel nauwkeurig genoeg was, heb ik voor de zekerheid de originele Russische tekst erbij gezet (zie bijlage).

De hoogtepunten van de video's samengevat:

- Op Aarde leven reptielachtige wezens, die hier al langer waren dan de mensen. Zij leven onder de mensen, zien eruit als mensen en geven moedermelk aan hun kindjes, maar het zijn geen zoogdieren. Zij geven lagere vibraties af dan mensen en hun ogen geven licht in het donker.

De criminele wereld bestaat uit reptiloïden.

- De mensen zijn gecreëerd door mensachtige wezens die van de planeet Nibiru komen.

- Die mensachtige wezens hebben in ons DNA kunstmatige angst en afkeer tegen de reptiloïden ingebouwd. De reptiloïde was van mening dat wij af moeten komen van deze genetische blokkade.

- Mensen hebben geestelijke mentoren van een hogere beschaving die ons werk in de gaten houdt en ons technologie schenkt.

- Dinosaurussen leven nog op Aarde en zij planten ook voort, maar zij wonen ondergronds. Er zijn vijf ingangen naar hun ondergrondse wereld, waarvan er drie gesloten zijn. Er zal een moment komen dat duizenden van hen worden losgelaten op het oppervlak.

- De Verenigde Staten van Amerika, Canada en Engeland beschikken over driehoekvormige vliegende schotels; een technologie die hen gegeven is door de reptiloïden, maar deze vliegende schotels hebben als beperking dat zij onze planeet niet kunnen verlaten. De achterliggende technologie is: torsievelden en ether.

- Sigaretvormige vliegende schotels zijn van de reptiloïden, terwijl cirkelvormige vliegende schotels met vijf lichtjes naar beneden en drie lichtjes naar boven van de grijze beschaving zijn.

- Rusland is technologisch verder dan de VSA, Canada en Engeland, omdat men in Rusland portalen heeft. Dit is een stap verder.

- Reptiloïden zijn aan de macht in Rusland, maar is een machtsstrijd gaande in Rusland tussen de reptiloïden en demonen.

- Mensen kunnen kanker allang al genezen, maar geld verhindert ons.

- Aardse overheden hebben als taak om iedereen die te ver ontwikkeld is en die te veel weet, te vernietigen.

- Alle mensen op Aarde zijn geïnfecteerd met mini-robotjes, die verspreid worden via vliegtuigen en die ook in onze fruit, groenten en zelfs water zitten. Deze mini-robotjes nestelen zich in onze cellen en zelfs ons DNA en wachten het vernietigingscommando af. Mensen beschikken nog niet over de technologie om deze mini-robotjes te detecteren, laat staan om hen te verwijderen. Op de vraag of er in Rusland ook aan chemtrails gedaan werd, luidde het antwoord: "Over de hele wereld!"

- Varkens werden als eerste geïnfecteerd met deze mini-robotjes.

Daarom mochten mensen geen varkensvlees eten.

Ikzelf ben eerder geconfronteerd geweest met het verhaal dat reptielachtige wezens tussen de mensen leven vermomd als mens, maar ik vond dat nogal sterke verhalen. Deze twee video's, echter, hebben mijn ogen geopend.

Ik heb door deze video ongelofelijk veel informatie binnengekregen die ik hiervoor nooit had. Het mooie is: de video staat openbaar op het Internet, dus iedereen kan het zien! Niet iedereen heeft het geluk Russisch te spreken, dus daarom dacht ik: "Ik zal een beetje helpen!

Hierna de twee Russischtalige video's en daarna de uitgebreide aantekeningen die door de lezer zijn gemaakt.

Sigaretvormige vliegende objecten zijn van de reptiloïden. Hier staat zeven sterren op en een draakachtige slang in een cirkel.

Driehoekige vliegende objecten zijn Aardse objecten uit de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Hier rust een alleenrecht op, zo blijkt uit de gegevens van Wikileaks: TR - 3b project Astra. De VSA, Canada en Groot-Brittannië zijn in het bezit van deze driehoekige vliegende objecten.

Cirkelvormig ruimteschip met vijf lichtjes naar beneden en drie naar boven: grijze beschaving.

De mensen zijn al bijna klaar om de reptiloïden in hun echte vorm te zien.

De mensen zijn nog niet klaar om met de reptiloïden samen te werken. Er zijn nu onderontwikkelde wezens die alleen in het astrale kunnen zijn en die zich alleen voeden met menselijke energie. Het is niet leuk om dat tegen ons te vertellen. ("Нам говорить это - не интересно") Wij zijn vooruitgegaan. De reptiloïden hebben oogpupillen die vanaf de zijkanten open en dichtgaan.

Deze wezens kunnen jou meenemen op hun schip. "Не надо испытывать - мы можем просто так общаться."

Vanaf 13:05 zegt via hypnose - waarschijnlijk reptiloïde - "onze schepen zijn goed genoeg verborgen. Geen menselijk oog is goed genoeg om onze schepen te zien. Wij krijgen hiervoor op onze kop."

"замахнулись на всех цивилизаций!" (Что это значит?)

"Смешно. Если я вам сейчас скажу на вашем планете много рас, то главнее всего... "

Я бы не сказала, что они (спруты) далеко от нас ушли."

Er is een ander buitenaards ras, спруты, die blijkbaar verder ontwikkeld is dan de reptiloïden, maar de reptiloïde zegt daarover: "Ik zou niet zeggen dat zij veel verder zijn dan wij in de ontwikkeling."

"Wij hebben afspraken met Aardse overheden." ~ "Er wordt op jullie gelet, zodat er niks met jullie zal gebeuren."

"Wie let er dan op ons?" ---> "Jullie geestelijke mentoren. Dat is de hogere beschaving, die jullie werk in de gaten houdt. Zij geven jullie techniek en programma's voor jullie ontwikkeling. Is het zo duidelijk?"

Amerikaanse ruimteschepen kunnen van één punt naar het andere reizen, maar alleen binnen de Aardse grenzen. Zij kunnen niet de ruimte in vliegen. Mensen kunnen de ruimte al in vliegen; bij ons (Rusland?) is die technologie nog in ontwikkeling.

Rusland kan deze technologie gebruiken en gebruikt deze ook, maar niet tot het einde. Rusland bezit andere technische middelen: portalen.

"Waar in Rusland wordt dit ontwikkeld?" ---> "Ik heb het recht niet om de exacte locatie te geven, maar ik kan wel zeggen: daar waar het ijs is. Ik hoop dat jij het begrijpt" ---> "Ja, ik begrijp het."

19:35: "Wie heeft de technologie van deze driehoekige vliegende schotels gegeven aan de VSA, Canada en Engeland?" ---> "Reptiloïden die met jullie op deze planeet wonen. Overigens, als ik eerlijk ben: de criminele bevolking van de Aarde; dat zijn reptiloïden. Niet jullie, helaas."

19:56: "Waar komen wij dan vandaan?" ---> "Er is een planeet, die jullie Nibiru noemen. Jullie scheppers komen daar vandaan, degenen die jullie gemaakt hebben."

"Voor jullie waren er andere wezens - die lichamelijk erg jullie lijken - die hier samen met de reptiloïden leefden. Hele grote mensen die het licht van de Aarde droegen. Er was een grote oorlog toen die wezens hier kwamen. De reptiloïden besloten zich er niet mee te bemoeien; zij gingen ondergronds en gingen observeren. Tot op heden zijn zij waarnemers, die van de zijlijn toekijken. Zij (de reptiloïden) bemoeiden zich niet met de oorlog."

"Raakt de hypno-energie niet op?" ---> "Maak jou geen zorgen. Jullie [woord dat ik niet ken] heeft voldoende energie voor ons gesprek."

"Dus, de dinosaurussen, die dus zijn uitgestorven" ---> "He. He." (lachje)

"Geef antwoord op de vraag over die periode, toen hier dinosaurussen overbleven: wie waren dat?" ---> "Zij zijn nog steeds hier." ---> "Nu zijn ze hier niet meer. Ze zijn allemaal uitgestorven" ---> "Niet waar. Zij voelen zich heel goed onder de grond. Zij leven en planten zich voort. Binnenkort breekt de periode aan dat de eerste dinosaurus wordt losgelaten, en achter hem volgen duizenden anderen." ---> "Hoe is het mogelijk van de ene naar de andere wereld te komen, waar zij wonen? Waar is de ingang?" ---> "Er zijn zoetwatermeren en oceanen waar de ingang bestaat uit grotten die naar de ondergrondse wereld leiden." ---> "Heeft Rusland ook zo een ingang?" ---> "Twee ingangen zijn open; drie zijn er gesloten." ---> "Kun jij zeggen waar de ingangen open zijn? In welke delen van Rusland?" ---> "Bergen, Ararat. Één puntje is open. Wij kunnen neerkomen; jullie leiders gaven ons toegang, de reptiloïde wezens."

"Voeren jullie geen oorlog met de reptiloïde wezens?" ---> "Waarom zouden wij met jullie of met hen oorlogvoeren? Jullie voeren ons; wij hebben handelsbelangen. Waarvoor?" ---> "Oh, dus jullie voeren handel? Waar handelen jullie in?" ---> "In voor ons onmisbare stoffen; in voor ons onmisbare energie. Wij geven technologieën, van verschillende planeten." ---> "Handelen jullie ook in menselijke energie?" ---> "Zeker. Ik kan het zo zeggen: op de ruimteschepen van de reptiloïden staan zeven sterren. Zeven planeten, die zich in jullie melkweg bevinden. Nu zijn het er vijf. Twee sterren mogen daarom worden weggestreept, maar zij gebruiken er nog steeds zeven, maar in werkelijkheid beheersen de reptiloïden maar vijf planeten." ---> "Welke planeten beheersen jullie nog meer? Estherische planeten?" ---> "Fysieke planeten. Ik heb het met u over fysieke planeten." ---> "Oké, op welke planeten? Kun jij dat aangeven?" ---> "Ik kan het zo zeggen: Jupiter en Saturnus zijn voor hen gesloten. De overige vijf; ik heb geen [zegt iets heel onduidelijks]"

"Die driehoekvormige schotels, waar vliegen zij op? Op welke technologie?" ---> "Torsievelden (Russisch: "торсионные поля")" ---> "En waar komt de energie vandaan?" ---> "Ether. (Russisch: "Эфир")" ---> "Wat verwerkt de ether en wat komt daaruit? Welke energie? Welke beweging?" ---> "Ether kan dichtheid creëren, dichtheid weghalen en de dichtheid doorlatend maken." (Russisch: "Эфир может создавать плотность, убирать плотность и сделать её проницаемый")

"Jullie geleerden weten allang al hoe dit moet. Ik bedoel, jullie Russische geleerden. Vraagt u over Rusland?" ---> "Nee, maar wij hebben toch niet de schotels die Canada, Engeland en Amerika hebben? Daarom vraag ik over..." ---> "Jullie beschaving loopt voor. Jullie hebben die bewegende dingen niet nodig, wanneer jullie geleerd hebben om lichamen te verplaatsen in de ruimte." (Russisch: "Ваша цивилизация впереди. Вам не нужны такие передвигающие вещи, когда вы научились тела перемещать в пространстве.") ---> "De ruimte dichtbij de Aarde?" (Russisch: "Пространство околоземное?") ---> "Ja, op dit moment wordt de technologie nog aan jullie gegeven, aan jullie planeet. Jullie hebben geen toegang om van planeet naar planeet te reizen. Die toegang wordt geopend op [geluid verstoort het antwoord]" ---> "Ja, ja, ik begrijp het. Welke beschaving heeft Rusland?" ---> "Specifiek Rusland?" ---> "Ja" ---> "Ik zal het zo zeggen: op dit moment zitten reptiloïde wezens bij jullie aan de top. Maar, er is een machtsstrijd gaande." ---> "Wie is er nog meer betrokken bij die machtsstrijd, behalve reptiloïde wezens?" ---> "Duistere werelden. Jullie noemen hen: "demonen". Dat is een stof met lage trillingen. Maar, zij kan ook in de materiële wereld bestaan. Zij heeft goed geleerd om te materialiseren." ---> "Bestonden de donkere werelden eerder dan de reptiloïde wezens of hun beschaving? Of waren de reptiloïden eerst?" ---> "De reptiloïden waren er eerder." ---> "Wie heeft de donkere werelden gecreëerd?" ---> "De duistere werelden werden heel lang geleden al gecreëerd, en zij vero... veroviir... verovaren constant planeten" ---> "Veroveren. Duidelijk. Wie heeft de donkere werelden dan gecreëerd? Aanvankelijk, als de reptiloïden er eerst waren, dan moet iemand die donkere werelden toch gecreëerd hebben?" ---> "oecumenisch ras" (Russisch: "вселенский рас") ---> "Zitten zij op alle planeten?" ---> "Jammerlijk genoeg, praktisch overal, maar er zijn planeten waar de toegang gesloten is." ---> "Duidelijk" ---> "Waarom is in Rusland alles zo problematisch? Is Rusland een kolonie, of leidt Rusland haar eigen vooruitgang? (Russisch: "Ну а что-ж в России так всё проблематично? Россия является колония, или Россия сама ведёт свою развитию?")" ---> "Rusland leidt haar eigen ontwikkeling, maar de hele planeet is een kolonie. Herinnert u zich de angst voor het getal zeeeeeeeeeees-zeeeeeees-zeeeeeees? " ---> "Ja, maar waarom angst? Wat is dat voor een getal? Wat zit daarachter?" ---> "Heel simpel. 6 planeten, 6 ruimten (Russisch: "пространств") hebben dezelfde boerderijen als op Aarde. Wezens die hun energieën voeden, en ons allemaal als één. (Russisch: "Существ которым питают их энергий, и нас всех в целом.") Zeeeees-zeeeees-zeeeees. 6 planeten. 6 dimensies en 6 wat? Wat kwam er als laatste?" ---> "[onduidelijk uitgesproken woord]" ---> "Oh, oké, duidelijk. Is dat hier een levenslange beschaving waar energie uit gehaald wordt, of zal de beschaving bevrijd worden uit die kolonie?" ---> "De beschaving kan zich bevrijden in haar ontwikkeling." ---> "En waar moet de beschaving heen, als deze zichzelf bevrijdt?" ---> "Vuur kan op elke planeet leven, wil zich spiritueel ontwikkelen, wil in harmonie voor het licht kiezen." ---> "Gewoon even tussendoor. Is het mogelijk om mensen energetisch van kanker te genezen?" ---> "Dat hebben jullie uitgevonden. Jullie kunnen oncologie allang al genezen, maar het geld verhindert jullie." ---> "Wat energetica betreft: is het technisch mogelijk om via ons transformatieprogramma..." ---> "Jij moet jouzelf verbeteren. Dan vernietig jij de kankercellen, maar het herprogrammeren van jouw lichaam leidt tot algemene herprogrammering. Wanneer wezens van andere planeten jullie maakten, hebben zij in jullie genoom afkeer tegen reptiloïden geactiveerd. Voor zover de reptiloïden hier leefden, hebben zij jullie genetische angst tegen reptiloïden ingebracht. Jullie afkeer tegen reptiloïden zit dus op genetisch niveau. Maar, reptiloïden zijn niet zo eng als jullie denken. Reptiloïden kunnen jullie helpen met jullie ontwikkeling, maar jullie genetische blokkade houdt dat tegen. Jullie onterechte gegeven kennis beïnvloed jullie wereldbeeld. De blokkade moet worden opgeheven."

"Zitten er in Rusland reptiloïden tussen de beroemdheden?" ---> "Een reptiloïde is een reptiloïde en een mens is een mens." ---> "Zijn er hybriden?" ---> "Kijk naar wat ik zeg: Aardse reptiloïden leven vele eeuwen op de schoot van mensen. Zij hebben dezelfde lichaamsbouw als mensen, hebben geen staart, de vrouwen hebben dezelfde borsten als menselijke vrouwen en geven melk aan de kleintjes. Dat is al ongeveer 3 miljoen jaar zo. Maar, het zijn geen zoogdieren. Het is gewoon een toegankelijke optie om kinderen te voeden; dit ook de betere variant. Maar, hun huid is anders dan die van jullie (mensen). Onze huid is gladder en heeft geen pili ( https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilus ). Aan de kant van de rug bij het ruggenmerg zit schubafval verzameld in een strakke frame. Dit gedeelte is bij hen heel gevoelig. De ogen zijn zijwaarts geplant. Er is haar op het hoofd, maar zij verven hun haar altijd een dusdanige kleur dat bij hun leeftijd past. Tussen de mensen kun jij hen herkennen doordat zij nooit strakke kleren dragen, vanwege hun gevoelige huid. Strakke kleding brengt hen pijn en ongemak. Zij hebben altijd "vliegende" en mooie kleding. En zij kunnen ook - vooral in de zomer - gaan zonnebaden. Daar genieten zij enorm van, net zoveel als dat jullie (mensen) genieten van seksuele genoegens." ---> "En welke verschillen zijn er nog meer?" ---> "Zij bezitten telekinetische krachten. Al hun communicatie loopt via gedachtenvorming. Allemaal. En zij zien de wereld niet door jullie kunstmatig aangebrachte, genetische blokkades, maar zoals dat miljarden jaren geleden was, dus een juiste waarneming van de wereld." ---> "Hoe verwijderen wij onze genetische blokkade, om de wereld net zo te zien als jullie reptiloïden?" ---> "Jullie hebben reptiloïden die met mensen willen praten, vooral jonge individuen die wetenschappelijke ontwikkelingen leiden, in groepen van mensen." ---> "Weten zij dat jij hen bestempelt als reptiloïde?" ---> "Ongetwijfeld. Het zijn toch geen idioten? Zij weten dat zij reptiloïden zijn. In jullie netwerken is er correspondentie, maar mensen nemen dit niet serieus. Zij lachen eroverheen." ---> "Welke correspondentie?" ---> "De exacte gegevens zou ik moeten achterhalen, maar ik weet dat zulke individuen er zijn, en niet alleen in Rusland, maar op Aarde in het algemeen, die met jullie communiceren en jullie hun wereldkennis geven. Maar, niet één persoon, behalve degenen die hen (reptiloïden) contacteren, neemt het contact serieus. Maar, jullie organisatie, ik bedoel jullie leiders - ik hoop dat jullie snappen over wie ik het heb - zodra zij de ernst van de bedoelingen inzien, proberen zij alle kennis die naar hen leidt te vernietigen. Daarom waarschuw ik jullie zodat jullie voorzichtig zijn in wat jullie schrijven en in jullie belangrijke dingen. Het leven is voor jullie een behoorlijk dunne [onverstaanbaar... грай?], helaas is dat zo." ---> "Wat voor dunne [грай?] bedoelt u?" ---> "Ik zal het zo zeggen: ik praat met u over een fysiek plan. Daarom zijn mensen die ver gegaan zijn in hun ontwikkeling onderworpen aan onmiddellijke vernietiging, in het fysieke plan." --> "Wie houdt dat in de gaten?" ---> "De mensen van de overheid, die opzettelijk donker zijn, willen niet dat jullie beschaving aan de controle ontsnapt. Daarvoor worden jullie beïnvloed door verschillende technologieën, die erop ingericht zijn jullie als geheel te laten verdwijnen." ---> "Welke technologieën zijn dat? Mag ik dat weten? Noem eens een voorbeeld." ---> "Al lang geleden, in de middeleeuwen, zijn micro-robotjes ontwikkeld die het menselijke lichaam betreden om deze te raken. Jullie denken aan ziektes, maar dat is in werkelijkheid het werk van de mini-robotjes, die de balans van het lichaam verstoren door een destructieve structuur op te zetten." ---> "Hoe komen die micro-robots in ons lichaam?" ---> "Vliegtuigen besproeien deze mini-robots" ---> "Ah, dus jij bedoelt die - zoals Amerikanen dat noemen - chemtrails?" ---> "Misschien wel" ---> "Worden deze (mini-robotjes) in Rusland ook besproeid?" ---> "Over de hele wereld" ---> "Dus, elk mens heeft ze (de mini-robotjes)?" ---> "[onverstaanbaar woord] als konijnen" ---> "Dus, heeft elk mens die mini-robotjes? Hoe detecteer jij deze? Hoe deactiveer jij deze?" ---> "Jullie beschikken nog niet over de technologie om deze (mini-robotjes) te zien, maar ik kan het volgende zeggen: het is niet zonder reden dat jullie geen varkensvlees eten, want zij (varkens) waren de eersten die wij infecteerden. Ik zal het zo zeggen: jullie fruit, jullie groenten en zelfs jullie water, zijn al geïnfecteerd, helaas." ---> "Leuk" ---> "Ja..." ---> "Ik begrijp het, ik begrijp het. Wij zijn allemaal geïnfecteerd met micro-robotjes. Zijn dat bierrobotjes, of is het iets mechanisch?" ---> "De mini-robotjes zijn in jullie cellen en zelfs DNA ingebouwd, en wachten op het vernietigingscommando" ---> "En wie doet dat allemaal?" ---> "Jullie planeetvriendjes" ---> "Dus, het is niet mogelijk om dit te detecteren?" ---> "Dit was ongeveer 2500 jaar geleden. Toen was deze technologie ontwikkeld. Al 300 jaar werkt dit op planetair niveau, in jullie lichamen." ---> "Goed dan. Dank u wel. Kan ik nog met u praten? Hoe moet ik u oproepen?" ---> "Ik heb in het begin een code doorgegeven. De namen van de beschavingen die u gegeven zijn, zijn geen namen." ---> "Oké, maar kun jij de code herhalen?" ---> (tijdsprong) ---> "Bedankt voor het gesprek." ---> "Mijn vibraties..." ---> "Het was leuk om met u te praten, maar er wacht een client. Wij moeten het echt afsluiten." ---> "Ja, ik ben u dankbaar voor het gesprek." ---> "Ik roep u morgen op. Bent u er morgen nog?" ---> "Zeker" ---> "Bedankt" ---> "Neutrale zone. Verkrijg 400% van de energie. U moet uw vibraties verhogen."

UFO Fleet Over New York City Seen Dec 1, 2019, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Dec 1, 2019
Location of sighting: New York, USA

Several huge glowing UFOs were seen over New York City last night. There are four glowing objects without aircraft lights moving ever so slowly over the city, but a helicopter with a red flashing light goes to investigate them. Interesting footage. Even John Lennon said he saw a UFO disk visiting him and his wife as they watched from their penthouse apartment patio. Alien in New York City...yes...they love it. Don't take my word for it, listen to John Lennon himself in the video below.

Possible Nibiru Planet X Seen Near Earths Sun, Nov 24, 2019, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: November 24, 2019
Location of sighting: Earths Sun
Source: MUFON #104808 

Now this is interesting. A person took a photo of the sun using a home made filter (red filter) and caught a huge sphere near our sun. The sphere is big, about 20X the size of earth or more. I put the red photo that he took into negative formate (blue) and the detail came out better. You can easily see a giant sphere near our sun. Something NASA has not told us about nor will they ever mention it. The eyewitness is worried that the object is Nibiru, a legendary planet or space station that can change directions and visits earth every 10,000-15,000 years. Nibieru has been recorded from ancient times all the way back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs which speak of it. Its linked to the fall of different human species and the rise of a superior species each visit. Its like earth is an experiment and they are the scientists...and at the end of each experiment the subjects must be put down...so they don't pollute future exponents. Thats how human scientists work when using live test subjects. Even NASA has admired to a invisible planet out there somewhere in our solar system.
Scott C. Waring

Eyewitness states: 

I decided to take a picture of the sun using very dark see through plastic and I captured some spherical object or planet just to the left of the sun. Was this planet Nibiru?

It's public knowledge that the US was interested in testing nukes on the moon. But did they actually do it? One high ranking military officials thinks so.

At first there was Project A119, also known as A Study of Lunar Research Flights, was a top-secret plan developed in 1958 by the United States Air Force. The aim of the project was to detonate a nuclear bomb on the Moon, which would help in answering some of the mysteries in planetary astronomy and astrogeology.

If the explosive device detonated on the surface, not in a lunar crater, the flash of explosive light would have been faintly visible to people on Earth with their naked eye, a show of force resulting in a possible boosting of domestic morale in the capabilities of the United States.

The project was never carried out, being cancelled primarily out of a fear of a negative public reaction, with the potential militarization of space that it would also have signified, and because a Moon landing would undoubtedly be a more popular achievement in the eyes of the American and international public alike.

But then in 2009 NASA revealed that they crashed a rocket and a satellite into the moon's surface. Nasa's mission's goal was to scan for water in dust kicked up by crash.

But was it just a rocket and a satellite or they actually tried to detonate a nuclear device on the moon?

Will 2020 Be the Year We Find Intelligent Alien Life?

The Allen Telescope Array in northern California is dedicated to astronomical observations and a simultaneous search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).

"Well, despite being the widely celebrated 100-year anniversary of the election of Warren G. Harding, 2020 will not likely gain fame as the year we first discover extraterrestrial life," said Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California.

The search for intelligent beings elsewhere, Shostak said, is largely conducted by checking out nearby star systems for either narrow-band radio signals or brief flashes of laser light. And those might succeed at any time, he told Space.com.

"But one should remember that this type of search is gaining speed in an exponential fashion, and that particular technical fact allows a crude estimate of when SETI might pay off. If we take — for lack of a better estimate — Frank Drake's opinion that there might be 10,000 broadcasting societies in the Milky Way, then we clearly have to examine at least one [million] – 10 million stellar systems to have a reasonable chance of tripping across one. That goal will be reached in the next two decades, but certainly not in 2020," Shostak said.  

Improved searches

But there are still reasons for intelligent-alien hunters to be excited and optimistic about the coming year. Multiple existing projects will either be expanded or improved in 2020, Shostak said. For example, the SETI Institute will get new receivers for the Allen Telescope Array in northern California, and both the SETI Institute and the University of California, Berkeley, will conduct new searches for possible laser technosignatures.   

"And, of course, there's always the unexpected," Shostak said. "In 1996, the biggest science story of the year was the claim that fossilized Martian microbes had been found in a meteorite. No one really saw that coming. So one can always hope to be taken by surprise."

Previous predictions

"I am skeptical about picking a specific year for the first discovery. Previous predictions of success have been wrong," said Michael Michaud, author of the thought-provoking book "Contact with Alien Civilizations: Our Hopes and Fears about Encountering Extraterrestrials" (Copernicus, 2007). 

"I and others have observed that the continued improvement of our search technologies and strategies could boost the odds for success," Michaud said, noting that the primary focus of SETI remains on radio signals. "However, we still don't cover all frequencies, all skies, all of the time. Other types of searches have failed, too, such as looking for laser signals or Dyson spheres [ET mega-engineering projects]. Those campaigns usually have limited funding and often don't last long." 

A new possibility has arisen because of exoplanet discoveries, Michaud said: "In some cases, astronomers now can look for chemical evidence of life in planetary atmospheres. It is conceivable that we will find simple forms of life before we find signals from a technological civilization." 

Prevailing opinion

If astronomers do someday confirm a SETI detection, how should they announce the discovery? It is an old question that has been answered in several ways.  

"The prevailing opinion among radio astronomers has been that the news will leak quickly. If that is correct, scientific and governmental authorities won't have much time for developing a public-affairs strategy," Michaud said.

"It remains possible that the sophisticated monitoring capabilities of intelligence agencies might be the first to detect hard evidence," Michaud said. "One might think that the government would have a plan to deal with such an event."

But, Michaud said that his own experience suggests that such plans are unlikely to be drawn up due to a "giggle factor" and would be forgotten as officials rotated out of their positions. He previously represented the U.S. Department of State in interagency discussions of national space policy.

Long-term project

"While I'm enthusiastic at the reinvigoration of technological-signatures work, and in particular the growth in looking across much of the electromagnetic spectrum, I think this is going to be a long-term project. I estimate a very small probability of success in any given year," said Pete Worden, executive director of the Breakthrough Initiatives. "But those chances are now orders of magnitude better than they were even a decade ago."

Breakthrough Initiatives is tackling the big question of life in the universe, the notable query about whether or not Earthkind is alone. Breakthrough Initiatives is a multifaceted group that's reinvigorating the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

"The Breakthrough Initiatives is committed to full and immediate disclosure of any and all results," Worden said. "We would rely on the principal investigators of our projects, along with their home institutions, to prepare and release both scientific reports and public announcements."

Preparing for discovery

Despite the ongoing work by Breakthrough Listen, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and research into the detection of promising biosignatures and technosignatures, there's no reason to think 2020 would be the year for discovery, said Steven Dick, a recognized astrobiology scholar and writer of the award-winning book "Astrobiology, Discovery, and Societal Impact" (Cambridge University Press, 2018).

"In my view, all these things combine to increase the chances over the next decade of finding extraterrestrial intelligence. I would caution, though, that any discovery will be an extended process, consisting of detection and interpretation before any understanding is achieved," Dick said. "This is clear from the history of discovery, even when we thought we had evidence in hand." 

Like Shostak, he cited the Mars meteorite ALH 84001, which in 1996 generated excitement and debate that ancient, microscopic life existed on the Red Planet.

"One thing that is certain is that we are getting a better handle on the issues of societal impact, should such a discovery be made. Many more social sciences and humanities people are getting involved in astrobiology, which is all to the good. In other words, we are preparing for discovery," Dick said. "So, I see the search advancing incrementally next year, but with an accelerating possibility that life will be discovered in the near future."

Three-way horse race

"There's plenty of real estate where life could exist," said Douglas Vakoch, president of the nonprofit Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) in San Francisco.

"We are right now on the verge of finding out whether there is life elsewhere in the universe, and there are three ways we could find it. Think of it as a three-way horse race to find ET," Vakoch said.

But will any of the horses cross the finish line in 2020?

It all depends on the prevalence of life beyond Earth, Vakoch said, and the number of targets we can scan with available technologies — whether these instruments are located in Earth-based observatories, in space-based telescopes or in craft that travel to other planets and moons in our solar system, Vakoch told Space.com.

New technologies

So, will scientists find intelligent alien life next year?

"It all depends on how plentiful intelligent extraterrestrials are. If one in 10,00 star systems is home to an advanced civilization trying to make contact, then we're behind schedule in making first contact, and the news we're not alone in the universe could well come in 2020," Vakoch said.

And there are expectations for microbial life, similar to Earth's bacteria, to be even more widely spread throughout space than intelligent life.

But bacteria can't send us radio signals. "We need to develop new technologies to discover them at a distance," Vakoch said. "As the next generation of space telescopes is launched, we will increase our chances of detecting signs of life through changes to the atmospheres of planets that orbit other stars, giving us millions of targets in our search for even simple life in the cosmos."

By the end of 2020, we'll be within a few months of the much-awaited launch of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Vakoch said, which will be able to study the atmospheres of exoplanets for potential signs of life. But it could take much longer, until after the launch of the European Space Agency's Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, or ARIEL, in 2028, before we have "definitive proof" of extraterrestrial microbes through telltale alterations in the atmospheres of exoplanets, Vakoch said.

Living with uncertainty

There are a number of spacecraft in the proposal stage that could conceivably detect extraterrestrial life within our solar system, "but don't hold your breath for discovery by 2020," Vakoch said. "But if we do someday find even microbial life elsewhere in our solar system that has an independent origin from terrestrial life, then we would know that the entire universe is chock-full of life."

Humans cannot control whether or not there is life elsewhere in the universe, of course. 

"Either it's there or it's not," Vakoch said. "We may not be able to decide whether we'll find it in 2020, but we have a tremendous capacity to decide whether we will find it eventually, if it's out there to be discovered."

"To be human is to live with uncertainty," Vakoch concluded. "If we demand guarantees before we begin searching, then we are guaranteed to find nothing. But if we are willing to commit to the search in the coming year and long afterwards, even without knowing we will succeed, then we are sure to discover that there is at least one civilization in the universe that has the passion and the determination to understand its place in the cosmos — and that civilization is us."

There's a Violent Battle Between Solar Wind and Cosmic Rays, and Voyager 2 Just Passed Through it

By Brandon Specktor - Science & Astronomy 

At the edge of our solar system, a fierce battle rages between solar wind and interstellar rays. NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft has now passed through the frontlines.

Enclosed in a "bubble" of solar wind called the heliosphere, our solar system is relatively safe from the ravages of cosmic rays flying through interstellar space.

Solar wind is not exactly our friend. 

The flood of hot, electric particles constantly gushing out of the sun bathes the entire solar system in radiation, frying the occasional satellite and making life impossible on any planet not shielded by an atmosphere. In both a literal and figurative sense, the solar wind blows — but, as new observations from the edge of our solar system suggest, it also protects everything it touches from the even more damaging forces of interstellar space.

As the solar wind flows outward for billions of miles in every direction, it creates a bubble of energy that surrounds our entire solar system. At the edge of this bubble, where the solar wind finally collides with powerful cosmic rays beaming through interstellar space, there is a hot, thick wall of plasma called the heliopause. This cosmic border sits about 120 times farther from the sun than Earth does, where it helps deflect and dilute the powerful radiation released by distant stars and celestial explosions.

Now, in a series of studies published Nov. 4 in the journal Nature Astronomy, astronomers directly analyzed this cosmic frontier for the first time using data collected by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, which passed through the heliopause and into interstellar space a year ago. 

While Voyager 2 was able to cruise seamlessly through the heliopause in about a day, researchers found that the plasma barrier was significantly hotter and thicker than previous studies estimated, effectively forming a physical shield between our solar system and interstellar space. According to study co-author Edward Stone, an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology who has worked on the Voyager program since it launched in 1977, this shield stops about 70% of cosmic radiation from breaking into our solar system.

"The heliopause is the contact surface where two winds [collide] — the wind from the sun and the wind from space, which comes from supernova that exploded millions of years ago," Stone said in a news conference about the new Voyager studies. "Only about 30% of what's outside of the bubble can get in."

Interstellar robots phone home

In November 2018, NASA's Voyager 2 (V2) satellite passed through the heliopause, becoming only the second man-made object in history to leave our solar system. (The satellite's twin, Voyager 1, became the first in August 2012 — however, Voyager 1 was unable to analyze the border properly due to a sensor malfunction.)

According to radiation data collected by V2 on its interstellar journey, temperatures in the heliopause reached up to 89,000 degrees Fahrenheit (31,000 degrees Celsius) — roughly double the temperature that previous astronomical models predicted, suggesting a far more violent clash between the solar wind and cosmic rays than scientists ever predicted.

While the heliopause's hot, thick wall of plasma protects our solar system from most of the harmful rays darting through space, the researchers also found that the boundaries of the heliopause are not quite as uniform as anticipated. The edge of heliopause is not a perfect "bubble" after all, but contains porous holes that allow interstellar radiation to leak in at certain points. 

Voyager 2 data detected two such holes on our side of the heliopause, where radiation levels spiked much higher than normal background levels before dropping back down again. Eventually, when the levels of cosmic radiation skyrocketed and stayed that way, it was clear the Voyager 2 had entered a new region of space, beyond our sun's domain.

The sheath of hot, charged wind protecting our solar system might not be perfect (and it still might not be our friend) but, as Voyager 2 confirmed, it is part of what separates our cozy cosmic home from the ferocious wilderness of space. For that, perhaps, we should be thankful.
