Something Huge Above Florida is Slowly Moving Through the Sky
Something Huge Above Florida is Slowly Moving Through the Sky
On December 7, 2018 a photographer in Florida captured something unusual in the sky below the sun.
Some say that it is a hole in the clouds or a triangle sundog but it looks like it is a cloaked arrow head shaped craft which is casting it’s shadow on the clouds.
You can actually see the “wake” of the craft slowly moving through the atmosphere.

UFOs Caused Hole Punched Clouds Over Canada, Dec 9, 2019, UFO Sighting News.
UFOs Caused Hole Punched Clouds Over Canada, Dec 9, 2019, UFO Sighting News.
Lauren Mitchell posted this photo so-called “fallstreak cloud” or “hole punch cloud,” formally known as a cavum, that appeared over Chilliwack on Dec. 9, 2019.
These holes that are punched in the clouds are made by a cloaked UFO that has settled within the cloud. The cloak of the UFO pushes aside the clouds them selves and even at its center there will be a tuff of clouds its pushed downward. This I deducted from the 85 page MUFON report of the UFO over O'Hare airport incident back in 2006, which...hovered for over 15 minutes and then shot off in front of hundreds of eyewitnesses, shooting through the above cloud ceiling...leaving a hole in the clouds for over 14 minutes.
So...UFOs do make holes in clouds. Those large alien disks are not flawless. They do accidentally reveal themselves at times due to weather and the setting sun.
These are caused by alien craft settling in the clouds and watching us from above.

UFO Seen Hovering Over Mountain In Colorado, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: December 2019
Location of sighting: Colorado, USA
Source: Twitter
This UFO disguised as a cloud was hovering over a mountain in Boulder, Colorado this week. It was reported by a twitter user that works at the David Skaggs Research Center In Boulder. The cloud held position over the mountain while other clouds passed by and it changed its shape form one disk, to two. It seems to me there has to be an alien base about 5-6km below the surface of these mountains here. Colorado is famous for its UFO sightings, but most often the shape of the UFOs are white spheres that move incredibly fast.

Here's a time-lapse of the lenticular cloud we captured looking west out of the David Skaggs Research Center this morning!
Here is a cocoon on Mars. The discarded outer skin of an insect or small animal sits in a Sol 65 (day 65) photo taken by the Curiosity rover back in 2012. It measures 1.3cm long or half an inch is what NASA states below the photo. The skin itself closely resembles that of a butterfly cocoon and very possible is. What I mean to say is that NASA could have brought some butterfly cocoons to Mars to see how they hatch and fly away...and how long they live. If this is true, then the butterflies had time to fly away before death. Now just because NASA says there is a low oxygen level on mars, doesn't mean its totally true. Also it could be an reptile skin, because the dry environment is perfect for a lizard or snake species. I already proved a dozen times over that water exists on Mars and showed running water just a few meters from the Curiosity rover...so if even a trickle of water exists on Mars...there will be life.

Golden Trump Worshiped As God At Temple! UFO Sighting News.
Golden Trump Worshiped As God At Temple! UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: December 8, 2019 Location of discovery: Was Phra Dhammakaya temple, Thailand Hey check this out. I noticed that there is a statue of a buddha being worshiped that looks just like President Trump. No joke, it really does. That not all, the statue is unique in that not only is it 24k gold plated, but it gets a special real golden rob to show its higher statues that the other buddhas around it. Now maybe its just me or maybe its all of us, but this seems like its more than just a coincidence. Trump loves 24k gold color, its his favorite. Also the temple itself is in a UFO shape like a giant mother ship has landed and become the temple itself. It might even be a real UFO waiting for the end of times when it has to leave and take only the worthy with them...IDK. Do the monks know something about President Trump that we don't know? Scott C.

Return of the mystifying glowing sphere that releases smaller spheres above Mesa, Arizona
Return of the mystifying glowing sphere that releases smaller spheres above Mesa, Arizona
Last Sunday, December 8, 2019 many people witnessed a strange glowing sphere above the East Valley, Mesa, Arizona.
According to ABC15news, Maier and Kerri Burnet say they spotted the glowing sphere outside their Mesa home around nine that night and every few moments, the sphere appears to release smaller spheres towards the ground.
Maybe it's just a coincidence but the entire sighting is similar to the sighting in December 2004 when a Long Beach Police helicopter captured on the infrared camera (FLIR) a glowing sphere releasing smaller spheres towards the ground too.
In a hurry to get somewhere on the other side of the world? In an hour? Then you need to join the Space Force. What … what? That seems to be the advice of a retired United States Air Force general who claims the Space Force already has the technology to build a craft capable of being anywhere on Earth in an hour. If you’re not interested in fast travel, he has some Space Force technology for homebodies too – the newest branch of the armed forces also has the capability to deliver wi-fi and energy from space. Holy Nikola Tesla!
“The technology is on the engineering benches today. But most Americans and most members of Congress have not had time to really look deeply at what is going on here. But I’ve had the benefit of 33 years of studying and making friends with these scientists. This technology can be built today with technology that is not developmental.”
The next generation of one-hour pizza delivery?
Late last month, Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast, commander of the Air Education and Training Command at the San Antonio-Randolph Base in Texas, revealed this and more in a speech entitled “The Urgent Need for a U.S. Space Force” delivered to an audience at Hillsdale College in Washington D.C. Kwast (he retired earlier this year) believes it’s not just advanced technology that will determine who will lead the world in space but also who has the values to protect human rights from exploitation by the market forces, industries, militaries and governments that guard the technology. That responsibility, in Kwast’s mind, belongs to the Space Force.
“The power of space will change world power forever. As a historian, reflecting on the fact that throughout the history of mankind… technology has always changed world power. But the story of rejecting new and holding and clinging to the paradigms of the past is why no civilization has ever lasted forever, and values are trumped by other values when another civilization figures out a way of finding a competitive advantage. The nature of power, you either have it and your values rule or you do not have it and you must submit. We see that play out again and again in history and it’s playing out now.”
But wait a minute, you say. The Space Force is still a proposal, not an actual branch of the military … right? That’s true … although this week the Democrats in Congress and White House negotiators agreed to authorize the creation of the Space Force in exchange for a policy establishing 12 weeks of paid parental leave for federal workers. Neither has anything to do with the other, but that’s how government works these days. Kwast should be happy to hear the news because he warns that China (it’s always China) is already building its space force. But wait a minute again, you say. Didn’t Kwast say we have advanced technology for ultra-hypersonic travel and Tesla’s dream of wireless energy from space already “on the bench”?
Unfortunately, that’s where he falls back on that old diatribe about China beating us to 5G technology. Why is he worried about 5G when it’s such low tech to flying anywhere in an hour and getting energy from space? It would have been nice if he had given more insights on those and perhaps explained how today’s manufacturers – hungry for new business – and today’s workers – ready for more jobs – can capitalize on this. All we really have are mysterious triangular aircraft sightings and rumors.
While it’s great that people like retired Lieutenant General Steven L. Kwast are hinting about this advanced technology, seeing is believing. After all, we’re still waiting for flying cars.
Quantum physicist Deep Prasad previously hinted that he had an encounter with extraterrestrials which is why he became so interested in UFOs and aliens. And just recently he came forward with his story. On Thanksgiving, Prasad posted his experience to Twitter and it is one interesting story to say the least.
Deep Prasad@Deepneuron
A lot of people have asked what the beings I saw looked like. The glyphs are just impressions, I can't remember any specific one with 100% certainty. Hope this helps..and I felt no weight from them, but their touch felt like hard plastic.
It’s a pretty lengthy story (the full transcript can be read here as well as on Prasad’s Twitter account), so I’ll just summarize the most important and highly interesting parts.
He began the post by stating that on February 1st of this year, around 9:40 a.m., he became paralyzed and witnessed three strange beings that were communicating in a mysterious and incomprehensible language. The words/sentences that he saw were written in a sort of hieroglyphic texts/symbols and the only word Prasad understood was “DNA” – which he read at least three different times.
He noticed that he was no longer in his room and was somewhere he didn’t recognize. One of the beings jumped on top of him and walked towards Prasad’s head. At that point, he felt “the most blissful, euphoric feeling” that he ever had. After experiencing that “oneness” feeling for a few minutes, he was knocked out and lost consciousness, but immediately woke back up.
He experienced “impossible electrical anomalies” wherever he went for approximately two weeks after the encounter. He then went to the SCU conference where he met Lue Elizondo along with other people who shared his interest in UFOs and aliens.
As for his emotional well-being, Prasad claimed to have still felt the feeling of “oneness” for about two weeks after the encounter and had lost any feelings of depression, stress, anxiety and trauma. He said that he was unable to feel fear and had nothing but love for everyone. He also became spiritual after his encounter. He wasn’t accustomed to feeling that way and even considered getting an MRI in order to find out which parts of his brain were “rewired”.
He did, however, begin to have dreams where he was looking at the inside of a UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and the beings in his dreams communicated with him telepathically. He even saw an unidentified craft only weeks after his experience with the aliens. As a matter of fact, he had a total of four UFO encounters since his experience – two of them he was able to record.
He finished off his story by stating that he was “grateful for the experience” and that he’s thankful for everyone that he has met since his encounter. But wait, there’s more! Prasad drew a picture of what the alien beings looked like (the sketch can be seen here). So, was he really transported to an alien craft where he witnessed extraterrestrials? Like I said, it’s one interesting story to say the least.
In space, no one can hear you scream or cry yourself to sleep at night because you’re lonely … until now. Over the weekend, a SpaceX cargo ship delivered an emotion-sensing AI robot to the International Space Station in a second attempt to provide astronauts with an empathetic companion for long space flights. It also brought a Budweiser barley experiment to test how the malting process – a part of beer brewing – works in space. Is the beer in case the robot doesn’t work … or to help the astronauts really open up to it?
“The overall goal is to really create a true companion. The relationship between an astronaut and CIMON is really important. It’s trying to understand if the astronaut is sad, is he angry, joyful and so on.”
In an interview with Reuters, Matthias Biniok, the lead architect for CIMON 2 – the second generation of the Crew Interactive Mobile Companion — describes the esoteric purpose of the round ball of bot which is supposed to help astronauts forget that they’re out in space all alone … and also forget the original CIMON, launched in 2018 and sent back in 2019 after it got all moody on the crew – at one point saying, “Be nice, please. Don’t you like it here with me?” CIMON also raised concerns about privacy and security because its cameras and microphones were on 24/7 and could not be controlled by the crew.
“The new CIMON has a built-in switch that enables the data streams from all cameras and microphones to be interrupted from the ISS. The astronaut has control over CIMON at all times, which was especially important for us.”
Judith Buchheim, a researcher at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich who helped evaluate the ethics of the experiment, described the improvements made to CIMON-2 to CNN. CIMON-2 has better orientation capabilities – hopefully ending the “Spaceball” nickname for the smiley-faced floating bot. CIMON-2 also has a better self-learning AI brain behind it.
“With the help of the IBM Watson Tone Analyzer from the IBM cloud in Frankfurt, it is now able to evaluate the emotions of the astronauts and respond to the situation in an appropriate way if this is desired by the astronauts, or if its emotional analysis capabilities are being tested as part of an experiment. This allows CIMON-2 to transition from a scientific assistant into an empathetic companion, as required.”
That all sounds promising in a non-HAL kind of way. CIMON-2 isn’t really controlling anything on the ISS – it’s just supposed to respond to astronaut needs of the technical and emotional kind. They’d better hope it doesn’t get moody like its predecessor because CIMON-2 is on a 3-year mission … and this time, the astronauts are brewing adult beverages. Maybe they can loosen CIMON-2 up with a tall cold one.
“I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t … is that beer?”
An Iron Age shield that was discovered in Yorkshire, England has been called “the most important British Celtic art object of the millennium”. The shield was found in a “warrior grave” that was unearthed in Pocklington last year at a housing development site called “The Mile”.
The shield was part of an astonishing 'warrior grave' featuring the remains of a Celtic man, weapons, a chariot and two upright pony skeletons
The face of the 30-inch bronze shield (pictures can be seen here) contained swirling and asymmetrical patterns along with a central raised boss. In fact, the swirling pattern was quite common in early Celtic art and the “La Tène” culture that inhabited Europe from approximately 450-1 B.C. Additionally, it had a puncture hole that would have been made by a sword and there was evidence of repair work done to the shield.
The fact that there was a puncture hole from a sword is very interesting, as that type of shield was previously thought to have been more of a ceremonial item than something used in battle. “The shield features a scalloped border. This previously unknown design feature is not comparable to any other Iron Age finds across Europe, adding to its valuable uniqueness,” explained Paula Ware from MAP Archaeological Practice.
The shield when it was first unearthed
Archaeologists unearthing the warrior shield together with the remains of the man
She went on to say, “The popular belief is that elaborate metal-faced shields were purely ceremonial, reflecting status, but not used in battle,” adding, “Our investigation challenges this with the evidence of a puncture wound in the shield typical of a sword. Signs of repairs can also be seen, suggesting the shield was not only old but likely to have been well-used.” There was one other similar shield uncovered from the Thames River in 1849 – called the Wandsworth shield – and is currently in the British Museum.
In addition to the shield, other remains found in the grave include two humans, two horses, and sacrificial pigs. In fact, the two horses were positioned in such a way that they appeared as though they were leaping out of the grave, indicating a belief in the afterlife. There was also an upright chariot as well as other artifacts such as a brooch that was made from bronze and red glass.
The shield was discovered lying face down underneath a man’s skeleton. The remains are believed to date back to around 320-174 B.C. The owner of the shield was a man who passed away after the age of 46 and was probably a much respected member of the community because there were six pigs that were buried beside him as sacrificial offerings. He was buried adjacent to a younger man who was injured before his death.
As for what caused the older man’s death, it’s highly likely that he didn’t die in battle but from natural causes associated with old age. “We don’t know how the man died. There are some blunt force traumas but they wouldn’t have killed him,” said Ware.
This Iron Age discovery is certainly a significant find. “The magnitude and preservation of the Pocklington chariot burial has no British parallel, providing a greater insight into the Iron Age epoch,” Ware noted.

Interesting UFO sighting of a bright object hovering in the sky above Kentucky in early November 2019.
Witness report:
Me and my girlfriend were driving home from Kentucky and before we got to Ohio we seen a sliver thing that looked like it was falling from the sky from a distance it was hard to see as we got closer I pulled over I couldn’t believe what I seen it was hovering down I could see flashing ding off it like a bright silver then I seen lights on the bottom but when I zoomed in I seen this.. it was hanging out in the area kept hovering then moving farther down then it would come back down then after a jet passed it , ir took off and it was lit of sight
The exotic system provides a preview of our own solar system's fate.
Dead stars can have planets, too.
For the first time ever, astronomers have spotted evidence of an exoplanet circling a superdense stellar corpse known as a white dwarf, a new study reports.
"This discovery is major progress, because over the past two decades, we had growing evidence that planetary systems survive into the white-dwarf stage," study lead author Boris Gaensicke, from the University of Warwick in England, said in a statement.
"We've seen a lot of asteroids, comets and other small planetary objects hitting white dwarfs, and explaining these events requires larger, planet-mass bodies further out," Gaensicke added. "Having evidence for an actual planet that itself was scattered in is an important step."
The vast majority of stars in theMilky Way galaxy, including our own sun, will end up as white dwarfs. When these stars finish burning their nuclear fuel, they'll first bloat up as enormous red giants, then eventually collapse down into white dwarfs, which pack about one solar mass into a sphere the size of Earth.
(The main exception is really big stars, those that harbor at least eight times the mass of the sun. These behemoths go supernova when they die, and their remnants generally end up as neutron stars or black holes, objects even denser and more exotic than white dwarfs. Neutron stars are known to host planets, by the way; indeed, the first alien worlds ever discovered orbit a type of fast-spinning neutron star called a pulsar.)
Gaensicke and his colleagues studied a white dwarf called WDJ0914+1914, which lies about 2,040 light-years from Earth. In data gathered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the researchers detected emissions of hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen coming from WDJ0914+1914.
That's an odd combination of gases for a white-dwarf system. So, the team trained the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile on WDJ0914+1914. The VLT observations confirmed the presence of all three elements, and suggested that the emissions are coming from a ring of gas around the white dwarf.
"At first, we thought that this was a binary star with an accretion disk formed from mass flowing between the two stars," Gaensicke said. "However, our observations show that it is a single white dwarf with a disk around it roughly 10 times the size of our sun, made solely of hydrogen, oxygen and sulphur. Such a system has never been seen before, and it was immediately clear to me that this was a unique star."
The composition of this disk is similar to that of our solar system's ice giants, Neptune and Uranus, the researchers said. So, it seems that a Neptune-like world — one about four times wider than WDJ0914+1914 itself — is circling the white dwarf once every 10 Earth days.
But this planet's days appear to be numbered. Calculations performed by the team indicate that the white dwarf, which has a surface temperature around 50,400 degrees Fahrenheit (28,000 degrees Celsius), is evaporating the alien Neptune at a prodigious rate — about 3,640 tons (3,300 metric tons) per second.
"This star has a planet that we can't see directly, but because the star is so hot it is evaporating the planet, and we detect the atmosphere it is losing," Gaensicke said.
"There could be many cooler white dwarfs that have planets but [lack] the high-energy photons necessary to drive evaporation, so we wouldn't be able to find them with the same method," he added. "However, some of those planets might [be] detectable using the transit method once the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope goes on sky."
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope is a big observatory under construction in the Chilean Andes; it's scheduled to come online in the early 2020s. (The transit method is a common way to discover alien planets, one made famous by NASA's prolific Kepler space telescope. It involves noticing the tiny dips in a star's brightness caused when a planet transits, or crosses, the star's face.)
To be clear: The researchers did not directly observe a planet around WDJ0914+1914. But the available data point strongly toward its existence, team members said.
"We were stunned when we realized that, when observing hot white dwarfs, we are potentially seeing signatures from extrasolar planet atmospheres," co-author Matthias Schreiber, from the University of Valparaiso in Spain, said in the same statement. "While this hypothesis needs further confirmation, it might indeed open the doors towards understanding extrasolar planet atmospheres."
The new study was published online today (Dec. 4) in the journal Nature. In a companion paper also published today, in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, Schreiber, Gaensicke and colleagues investigate what will happen in our own solar system when the sun exhausts its fuel about 4.5 billion years from now, swelling into a red giant that engulfs Mercury, Venus and likely Earth as well.
The white dwarf that the sun becomes will probably emit enough high-energy photons to evaporate Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune eventually, the researchers determined. And some of those planets' constituent gases will likely be detectable by any alien astronomers who may be around and observing our system at that time, just as the material stripped away from the apparent Neptune-size planet circling WDJ0914+1914 is observable to us today.
"In a sense, WDJ0914+1914 is providing us with a glimpse into the very distant future of our own solar system," Schreiber said.

Beelden van mysterieuze objecten op Antarctica leiden tot theorieën over UFO’s en Epsteins vliegtuig. Kijk en oordeel zelf
Op Google Earth is een vreemd object gespot op Antarctica. YouTuber MrMBB333 plaatste er een filmpje over en zei erbij dat het object zo’n 80 meter lang lijkt te zijn.
De YouTuber speculeerde dat het is gemaakt door iets of iemand en geen natuurlijke formatie is, schrijft het Russische persbureau Sputnik.
In de buurt van het object bevindt zich nog een vreemd fenomeen dat lijkt te ‘zweven’ en ‘licht reflecteert’.
Iets vreemds aan de hand
De vondst zorgde voor de nodige consternatie.
“Er is daar iets vreemds aan de hand,” schreef Yogi Demis. “Er is een reden dat de wereldregering Antarctica tot verboden gebied heeft verklaard en slechts enkelen er mogen komen om wetenschappelijk onderzoek te doen.”
“Het zou me niet verrassen als het nergens meer is te bekennen na de volgende update van Google Earth,” zei Demis.
Veel gekke dingen
Iemand anders schreef dat er ‘veel gekke dingen gebeuren op Antarctica’ en verwees naar ‘gecrashte UFO’s’ en ‘diepe gaten’.
Weer een ander stelde dat het ‘Jeffrey Epsteins vliegtuig is’.
Er kwamen ook rationelere verklaringen binnen.
IJsschots
“Het zwevende ding lijkt op de rand van een ijsschots die uit de sneeuw steekt,” schreef Vgtyhb Cghsdet.
“Alleen de punt van de schots wordt belicht door de zon en dus lijkt hij te zweven,” klonk het.
If you’re a fan of the panspermia theory that life may have been transported to Earth on an asteroid or meteorite, then this story is for you. Researchers studying a mysterious microbe found living in volcanoes put some on a diet of nothing but meteorite material and the tiny creatures not only survived but thrived. For skeptics who wondered how a life form could survive a long trip on a space rock, here’s your answer – they ate their stone ship … leaving just enough to survive the fiery entrance through Earth’s atmosphere. Plausible? Provable? Let’s find out.
That’s research-paper-speak for “We fed some Metallosphaera sedula microbes a meteorite from Northwest Africa and it loved it.” In a paper published this week in the journal Scientific Reports, an international team of researchers explains how their search for Earth life forms that could survive on Mars led them to Metallosphaera sedula, a microbe found in sulfur-rich environments like hot springs, volcanic fields and acid mine drainage pools that have high metal ion concentrations, low pH and high temperatures … in other words, they already live on the closest thing we have to Mars on Earth.
Meteor meal home delivery for a Metallosphaera sedula?
M. sedula’s taste for heavy metal of the Periodic Table kind has led it to be used to remove iron sulphide or pyrite from coal. However, volcanoes aren’t Mars. For something closer to real extraterrestrial soil, University of Vienna astrobiologist Tetyana Milojevic and her colleagues turned to the chondrite meteorite Northwest Africa 1172 (NWA 1172). Discovered in Tabelbala, Algeria, in 2000, Milojevic told Science Alert that “NWA 1172 is a multimetallic material, which may provide much more trace metals to facilitate metabolic activity and microbial growth.”
“Yummy,” said the M. sedulas. The team prepared a culture of the microbes and spread them on a sterilized slice of NWA 1172 and on a pile of pulverized powder. A control group of the microbes was fed ground-up samples of the copper-iron-sulphur Earth mineral chalcopyrite. Under microscopy, the researchers watched as the M. sedula ate more and grew faster on the meteorite meal. As they ate, the microbes emitted tiny bubbles which may have helped catalyze the metals and reduce their toxicity. When they were done feeding, the researchers could see clear evidence of where they dined, which will help determine if other meteorites carried similar metal-eating microbes to Earth.
Were here! What’s for dinner?
It looks like M. sedula and other similar metal-eating microbes could live on Mars and perhaps even survive a trip on a meteor. Is this proof of panspermia? Are we the descendants of Metallosphaera sedulas?
“Our work provides a deeper insight into the biologically-mediated processing of extraterrestrial material and implications for natural samples, representing a special interest for space exploration missions.”
