One of the most pressing new areas of discovery of recent times is that of finding life outside of this ball of rock we inhabit. While life may exist somewhere out in the cosmos, certainly one of the most unusual of places one would expect to find it is on our life-giving sun. Looking at it from our current knowledge of the sun, it seems like the idea of any sort of life as we know it existing there is absurd. After all, this is a burning, immensely hot mass with surface temperatures sitting at around 5500ºC (nearly 10,000ºF), which is so hot that molecules simply cannot maintain any state of integrity there, with no solid matter possible and only energy existing here in its elemental, rawest form. There is simply nothing in this environment remotely conducive to life as we know it, and indeed it is about the most hostile environment one could possibly imagine, completely and totally inhospitable to life. Yet, this has not stopped people over the centuries from speculating on the possibilities of creatures inhabiting this forbidding realm.
The possibility of life on the sun has long captured the imagination and been a recurring feature of science fiction. Perhaps the most famous example of this was Arthur C. Clarke’s story Out of the Sun, in which he describes the discovery of plasma based lifeforms on the surface of the sun, which are discovered by some very perplexed astronomers as they observe the roiling surface of our star from their observatory on the planet Mercury. In the story the creature that is found has been somehow regurgitated from the center of the sun and expelled out into the void of space, where it dies. One excerpt from the story reads:
We were looking at what seemed to be a translucent oval, its interior laced with a network of almost invisible lines. Where the lines crossed there appeared to be tiny, pulsing nodes of light… What we were seeing was impossible, yet the evidence was there before our eyes. We were looking at life, where no life could exist. The eruption had hurled the thing out of its normal environment, deep down in the flaming atmosphere of the sun.
Other writers have also flirted with the idea life living on the sun or within other stars as well, such as Charles Harness in his 1955 book Paradox Men, which mentions plasma creatures living on the sun, as well as David Brin in his book Sundiver (1980), Robert Forward in his novel “Dragon’s Egg, about an actual technological civilization on a neutron star, Hal Clement in his short story Proof, and Stephen Baxter, who wrote of lifeforms existing in stars in his book Ring, in which they are referred to as “photino birds.” In every case, the hypothetical creatures mentioned are described as being able to survive in these environments due to being fundamentally different in form to what we typically think of life as taking, that of carbon based life, instead being energy or plasma based organisms, which exist in a sort of non-corporeal form. Astronomer and co-founder of SETI, Frank Drake, has explained the gist of this thusly:
One can imagine life evolving on a neutron star in the same way as life evolved on Earth. However, the nuclei making up the biological matter would not have electrons bound to them, as they do on Earth. Instead, the chemistry producing life depends on nuclear reactions, mediated by the strong force of the nuclei and not on the electromagnetic force responsible for terrestrial chemistry. An exchange of neutrons would bind the nuclei into “nuclear molecules” in the same way as the exchange of electrons binds atoms into normal molecules. We do not know whether bonding through neutrons would really lead to complex nuclear molecules at these high gravities, but for the sake of telling a story, I assume that they do.
Another rather intriguing explanation was offered up on the site Quora, from a Thomas Jolly, M.S. Astronautical Engineering, West Coast University, who explains:
The idea behind plasma creatures living on the sun is that they exist not from our known chemistry and periodic table, but from stable hot magnetic plasma loops of various sorts that act like atoms to them. They would likely be much larger creatures (like miles wide) since each of their “magnetic particles” would contain millions or trillions of what we think of as atoms and ions. Chances are good that they would have no clue that atoms even existed. Their scientific instruments would only resolve down to their smallest stable magnetic loop. We have no idea what stable forms matter may take outside of our own domain; any of these could produce some weird form of its own chemistry, evolving to a self-reproducing organism. There might be some tenuous gaseous magnetic forms living within the confines of nebulae; we might fly right through their 1000-kilometer wide bodies in our space ships without knowing they are there.
The outlandish idea has been entertained as mostly a sort of thought experiment by scientists over the years, with even some research claiming to show that under certain conditions blobs of plasma can grow, replicate, and even exhibit cell-like structures and show behavior that is very life-like in nature, such as the 2003 studies carried out by researcher Mircea Sanduloviciu and his team at Cuza University in Romania. It is all mostly pure speculation, but in recent years there has been the idea that life could in fact have a much broader definition well outside our traditional carbon based, cell-based idea of it. It is all still mostly in the world of science fiction, but that doesn’t mean that there have never been those who have seriously considered solar lifeforms, and indeed there have been some pretty wild ideas about creatures on the sun going all the way back to the 18th century.
The notion that the sun might be host to lifeforms was famously suggested back in 1785 by famed astronomer William Herschel, who happens to have been the man to have discovered Uranus. His idea revolved around a rather crude knowledge of our star at the time, the once popular theory that the sun spot that could be observed through telescopes were in fact openings in “the atmosphere” of the sun that showed the land below, or that they were massive mountains poking through. The common notion at the time was that the sun was more or less like just another terrestrial planet, albeit a very hot one covered in fire, and Herschel completely subscribed to this, even going as far as to calculate how high these mountains were (334 miles high) and coming up with the process by which the sun had formed its luminous atmosphere, and to him this was just another planet, which while certainly unique, wasn’t beyond the ability to harbor life. Herschel would say of this:
The Sun appears to be nothing else than a very eminent, large, and lucid planet. Its similarity to the other globes of the solar system leads us to suppose that it is most probably inhabited by beings whose organs are adapted to the peculiar circumstances of that vast globe.
Herschel even had a slew of complicated hypotheses on how these hypothetical lifeforms kept from being burned to a crisp, essentially boiling down to because an opaque layer of clouds below these organisms was able to bounce the light of the sun’s atmosphere into space and thus protect them from being immolated. While Herschel’s ideas were largely met with skepticism and raised eyebrows by other scientists, the fact that he was such a respected astronomer meant that they stubbornly stayed around for a shockingly long amount of time, and these notions were still being entertained well into the 1800s, not being really put to rest until it was found that the sun was not a planet, but rather a flaming ball of hydrogen and helium gas. So does the sun harbor life? Probably not. Yet, it is compelling that we have been entertaining this notion for many years, and continue to do so to this day. Although the sun is more likely than not devoid of any light, the speculation concerning how life could exist there and how it might in other similar environments leads the way in delving into alternate hypotheses on how life works, and might illuminate the fact that it might not be so narrowly defined as has traditionally been thought. It helps us think outside of the box, and that is often not a bad thing at all.
A very unique royal bust of King Ramses II has been unearthed during an Egyptian archaeological mission from the Ministry of Antiquities. Archaeologists discovered the statue on private land in Mit Rahina, Egypt. The land owner had been arrested for performing illegal excavations on the land which is located near the Temple of Ptah – not far from the Pyramids of Giza.
Ramses II (also known as “Ozymandias” and “Ramesses the Great”) ruled Egypt from 1279 to 1213 B.C. He was the third pharaoh of Egypt’s 19th Dynasty. Ramses II was known for his impressive building programs with Abu Simbel being one of his greatest achievements. Abu Simbel consists of two temples with the smaller one being dedicated to his wife, Queen Nefertari.
Abu Simbel
The unique bust was made from red granite and showed the king wearing a wig and a crown with the symbol “Ka” which symbolizes power, life force, and spirit. On the back pillar, his name is engraved as “Nakht Mari Maat” which translates to “strong bull”. The statue is 105 cm tall (approximately three and a half feet) by 55 cm wide and 45 cm thick.
Mostafa Waziri, who is the secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, stated that the statue is extremely rare because it’s the only ever “Ka” statue found that was made from granite. The only other one that was similar to it was made from wood and was owned by the 13th Dynasty King Hor Awibre – it is currently on display at the Egyptian Museum which is located in Cairo. Waziri explained that the statue was “intended to provide a resting place for the Ka (life-force or spirit) of the person after death.”
Ramses II
In addition to the bust, several large blocks made from red granite and limestone were also found. The blocks were engraved with different scenes depicting Ramses II during the Heb-Seb religious ritual. This suggests that the blocks could possibly belong to the Temple of Ptah. It’s still unclear as to when the statue and the blocks were originally created. Pictures of the bust as well as one of the blocks can be seen here.

The bust and the blocks were brought to Mit Rahina open air museum where they will be restored. Excavations will continue at the site where they were unearthed.

Ancient Structure With 50 Meter Doorway To Alien Base Below Volcano, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Dec 15, 2019 17:42:40 Location of sighting: Volcano Popocatepetl, Mexico Source: Live Cam I was watching the live cam to see if I could catch a UFO shooting around or into it again. I've recorded over a dozen objects on this cam and thought I might have some luck today. I did...but instead of a flying object I found a giant structure hundreds of meters tall. It had a square doorway that was close to 60 meters across! The structure was not there and then the sun hit it perfectly and there it was! Maybe its a trick of the eye, an illusion of some sort, but I swear this looks like a giant entrances into an underground alien abase. A base I have been talking about for almost ten years. If so...then we found an easy way to get to that base...but we do need a way to break through that huge door. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
In this never before seen photo, I found a strange object. It was taken from the STS39 Shuttle Discovery mission while they were in orbit. The object looks semi transparent with a darker triangle within it. I checked the photos before and after this one, but did not find the anomaly in any of them. Only one photo had this UFO in it. I have never seen a satellite like this before and there is no payload in the bay that would match such an strange object. Even NASA didn't notice it in the photo and only wrote "cumulous clouds." Its unidentified...its flying...and it sure as heck is an object. Thats a UFO. Scott C. Waring-Taiwan Please donate to help my UFO research at https://paypal.me/ScottWaring?locale.x=en_US
How scientist created ‘martian chamber' – and life THRIVED in Red Planet breakthrough
How scientist created ‘martian chamber' – and life THRIVED in Red Planet breakthrough
A SCIENTIST created a “martian chamber” to replicate the conditions on the Red Planet and see whether life, as we know it, could survive in these harsh conditions, but the results were far more stunning, proving Mars could one day be “a habitat for organisms that live on Earth”.
NASA has longed probed the possibility of life on Mars due to the similarities it shares with Earth, yet, to date, no proof has been found of past or present life as we know it. Recent advances suggest the Red Planet once flowed with water, meaning Mars may have once harvested life in conditions much warmer and wetter than today. Despite this, a scientist in Germany made a remarkable discovery to prove that living organisms can not only survive on the current conditions of the Red Planet, but thrive there too, Amazon Prime’s “Tomorrow’s World” revealed.
The series explained in 2018: “Life could exist in this cold, hostile place.
“This has been demonstrated by Dr Jean-Pierre Paul De Vera, of the German Spatial Research Centre in Berlin.
“In his laboratory, this passionate researcher has created an amazing machine – a Martian chamber – temperature, atmospheric pressure, chemical composition, UV rays, each parameter can be regulated with precision.
“The aim, to test the resistance of terrestrial organisms to Martian conditions.”

Life is possible on Mars, and Mars can be a habitat for organisms that live on Earth
Dr Jean-Pierre Paul De Vera
In 2012, Dr De Vera showed that cyanobacteria – a phylum consisting of free-living bacteria – present on Earth for 3.5 billion years could survive several weeks in the "Martian chamber" without a problem.
He repeated his experiment for nine days with microorganisms recovered from Earth’s harshest continent – Antarctica.
He explained: “From what we’ve seen, the results we’ve had, it would be possible to find life there, or terrestrial life, microorganisms could survive on Mars.
“It’s impressive, we never imagined these results, especially with more complex organisms.
“They are not bacteria, they’re organisms, which use photosynthesis.
“Life is possible on Mars, and Mars can be a habitat for organisms that live on Earth.”
The narrator went on to reveal the next step in the process for scientists around the world.
Two different kinds of materials were used

He added: “So far from being a desert with no potential, the Red Planet could be a fertile ground for certain organisms.
On the surface of the planet, the rovers go on searching, but these monsters of technology have their limits.
“They are slow and fragile, and breakdowns are always possible, so for the experts, the next stage is obvious – they have to send people.
“Heading to Mars, astronauts will face a mission of unprecedented complexity."
On October 8, 2015, NASA published its strategy for human exploration and colonisation of Mars, the concept operates through three distinct phases leading up to fully sustained civilisation on the Red Planet, which they hope to implement sometime in the mid-2030s.
The mission is split into three distinct phases leading up to a fully sustained civilisation.
The first stage, already under way, is the “Earth Reliant” phase, this will continue to use the International Space Station until 2024, validating deep space technologies and studying the effects of long-duration space missions on the human body.
The second stage, “Proving Ground,” ventures into cislunar space for most of its tasks, to test deep-space habitation facilities, and validate capabilities required for human exploration of Mars.
Finally, phase three, the “Earth Independent” stage includes long-term missions on the Red Planet with surface habitats that only require routine maintenance, and the harvesting of Martian resources for fuel, water, and building materials.
Stars and comets make unlikely dance partners. Their gravitational partnership is one that astronomers have long suspected but have never seen — until now. For the first time, a Polish group has identified two nearby stars that seem to have plucked up their icy partners, swinging them into orbits around our sun.
The astronomers found the stellar duo after studying the movements of over 600 stars that came within 13 light-years of the sun. The new findings validate a theory born more than a half-century ago, and in doing so have also shown just how rare these stellar dances can be.
Out on the far edge of the solar system, hanging like wallflowers around the planetary dance floor, is the Oort Cloud. This icy group of objects were left over after the formation of the solar system, creating a giant shell enveloping our home system that extends from 66 times the distance to Neptune to 9.23 trillion miles (14.9 trillion kilometers) away from the sun. Astronomers think the Oort Cloud is a reservoir for long-period comets — those that take more than 200 years to orbit the sun. Comet Hale-Bopp, which has a 2,500-year orbit, is one of the most famous of these long-period comets.
Since the cloud's existence was first proposed by Jan Oort in the 1950s, astronomers have suspected that every so often, a passing star might be able to pick up an object and send it swinging on a wild ride through our solar system; that ride would bring some of those comets streaming through the night sky for us to marvel at. Astronomers have spent years trying to find proof of these stellar dances, but none had been conclusively shown until now.
A new paper, accepted for publication in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and published on the preprint database arXiv, describes how astronomers calculated the paths of nearly 650 stars, which they compared with the orbits of over 270 long-period comets. The study used a catalogue from the Gaia spacecraft, which has measurements for some 1.7 billion astronomical objects, along with surveys like Pan-STARRS, which looks for asteroids, comets and other small bodies in our solar system.
They created models for the star-comet pairs to rewind and replay their history. The astronomers then would "remove" a star from their model to see if that significantly changed the partner comet's orbit. If it did, the astronomers would know that the stars had tangoed with the comets.
"In our study, we discovered only two cases in which this actually happened, and yet, we observe dozens of comets every year," lead study author Rita Wysoczańska, an astronomer at the Institute Astronomical Observatory at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland, told Live Science. "At this moment, we can say that the mechanism proposed by Oort is not sufficient enough to generate all comets we observe."
It's likely that the collective gravitational force of more distant stars can boost comets into long-period orbits. And once a comet enters the solar system, it can be further perturbed by the planets therein.
"I think, in general, it is hard to associate a particular comet with a particular star," said Coryn Bailer-Jones, an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany, who was not involved with the new study. "We must also consider the contribution of the galactic background potential, which is essentially the influence of all the other much more distant, but also much more numerous, stars in the galaxy."
Creating computer models to look at all of those influences, something called a multibody model, is a much more complex and computationally intensive task.
Additionally, information doesn't yet exist for every star. With current data, the astronomers had to rely on estimates for some of the stellar masses and movements. The astronomers hope that a future data release of the stellar survey they used can help shed more light on comet-star interactions.
Editor's note: This article was updated to indicate the astronomers looked at stars that came within 13 light-years of the sun, not 1.3 light-years as had been written.
As I write this post, I keep reminding myself that lots of perfectly sane and accomplished individuals have experienced a UFO sighting and/or alien encounter. Actually, many have had numerous experiences. Truth is, even though I count myself among the latter group, I’m not going to pretend I have every answer to every universal question ever asked. I don’t. But from my perspective, one thing is for certain: we are most definitely not alone. And frankly, considering the destructive technologies numerous countries have in their arsenals, I for one, am grateful to know this experientially. At first blush, my own ET experiences felt like something out of a sci-fi/horror film. The first act being something like, the protagonist experiences victimization at the hands of Grey aliens, leading to alienation from those around her. But here’s the thing. The longer I’ve sat with this, the more it seems that my overall experiences were intended to accomplish several things, and not all of them were centered on little ol’ me.
So what was the alien agenda?
First of all, I tend to think there is definitely something going on with DNA extraction. Does taking my DNA necessarily mean it is being used for nefarious purposes? No. However, it does not disprove this popular theory, either. Since I personally believe in the Twelve Spiritual Laws of the Universe, I’m going to go on a limb and suggest that the outcome from these purported DNA extractions will ultimately prove to be positive. Who knows, maybe a stronger and smarter species will evolve from this genetic experimentation/manipulation. Maybe this will serve to adapt humankind to Earth’s changing environment, another planet’s environment, or advanced interstellar travel.
Secondly, the fact that some experiencers, such as myself, recall alien encounters occurring all the way back to early childhood, suggests that maybe we are supposed to remember. At least, just enough. In my case, I remember not only bits and pieces of what happened immediately before and during the abduction, I recall reporting the experience to my mother. Of course she had no way of knowing the three monsters in my bedroom were in fact, small Grey aliens. Nor could she have predicted that I did my very best every night to not fall asleep, only to eventually go through a similar experience a few weeks later.
This begs the question, why would aliens want me to remember parts of this and other experiences? Simply put, I suspect it may serve as a way to quietly accomplish what the U.S. government was unwilling or unable to do. That being full disclosure about the fact that we are not alone. Additionally, it's very likely that our cosmic cousins want us to abolish our nuclear technologies and other WMDs, take care of one another - both locally and globally, and clean up/ learn to live in harmony with our beautiful planet.
Thirdly, they may have wanted to build a relationship over time with certain abductees, so they would eventually function as starseeds, lightworkers or both. Starseeds spread divine light by seeding energy into new systems. They are beings who exist here on earth in a human body, but their soul may have originated from somewhere else, (i.e. another planet, star system, galaxy, dimension or even a different (parallel) universe). On the other hand, a lightworker is a person who connects to the inter-dimensional energies around Earth and is psychic and highly intuitive. Lightworkers simply know what other people are thinking, feeling, or need in order to heal.
To be honest, I am slightly psychic and highly intuitive, but I have always felt that I came from somewhere else. This suggests that I might be both a starseed and a lightworker, but of course, only time will tell. What about you? Are you an alien or UFO experiencer? Do you believe you might be a starseed or lightworker? Please feel free to reply. I sincerely look forward to hearing from you!

University deletes bizarre press release that claimed alien insects live on Mars
University deletes bizarre press release that claimed alien insects live on Mars
Jasper Hamill
The claim that extraterrestrial beasties are living on Mars always sounded too good to be true.
Now the university which published a press release which alleged insects had been spotted on Mars has performed a dramatic u-turn.
Last week, Professor Emeritus William Romoser, an entomologist from Ohio University, said images captured by Nasa’s Mars rovers clearly show ‘fossilised and living creatures’ on the Red Planet’s surface.
‘There has been and still is life on Mars,’ Romoser said in a press release which has now been deleted from the Ohio University website as well as wire services which distribute releases to journalists.
We found a poster of his research online, which is still available to read, which suggested Nasa is already ‘acquainted with Martian insect- and reptile-like creatures’ which live on Mars.

(Image: Nasa)
‘It appears that the “Red Planet” enjoys a surprising abundance of higher life forms,’ the paper continued.
The research analysed images sent back to Earth by the Mars Rover and made several astonishing allegations.
It suggested that creatures resembling ‘bees’ lived on Mars as well as reptile-like animals which preyed on them.
‘The insect-like fauna observed appeared to be sheltering/nesting in caves, in burrows beneath the surface, and in specialized structures,’ the paper continued.
Rosomer’s claims made international headlines last week.

‘There is apparent diversity among the Martian insect-like fauna which display many features similar to Terran insects that are interpreted as advanced groups – for example, the presence of wings, wing flexion, agile gliding/flight, and variously structured leg elements.’
He said the rovers have snapped pictures which ‘clearly depict the insect- and reptile-like forms’.
The scientist even suggested one image shows a living insect ‘in a steep dive before pulling up just before hitting the ground’.
‘Once a clear image of a given form was identified and described, it was useful in facilitating recognition of other less clear, but none-the-less valid, images of the same basic form,’ Romoser said.
Does this image captured by Nasa’s Mars Rover show an alien insect?
‘An exoskeleton and jointed appendages are sufficient to establish identification as an arthropod. Three body regions, a single pair of antennae, and six legs are traditionally sufficient to establish identification as “insect” on Earth.
‘These characteristics should likewise be valid to identify an organism on Mars as insect-like. On these bases, arthropodan, insect-like forms can be seen in the Mars rover photos.’
Romoser said the Martian ‘creatures’ loosely resemble bumblebees or carpenter bees on Earth.
He suggested the ‘bees’ appearing to shelter or nest in caves and claimed other images show a fossilized creature that resembles a snake.
Another image that’s been hailed as evidence proving the existence of Martian insects
Romoser was an entomology professor at Ohio University for 45 years and co-founded its Tropical Disease Institute. He also spent nearly 20 years as a visiting vector-borne disease researcher at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases. Between 1973 and 1998, Romoser authored and co-authored four editions of the widely-used textbook called ‘The Science of Entomology’.
Romoser noted that ‘interpretations of insect- and reptile-like creatures he described may change in the future as knowledge of life on Mars evolves, but that the sheer volume of evidence is compelling’.
‘The presence of higher metazoan organisms on Mars implies the presence of nutrient/energy sources and processes, food chains and webs, and water as elements functioning in a viable, if extreme, ecological setting sufficient to sustain life,’ he said.
‘I have observed instances suggestive of standing water or small water courses with evident meander and with the expected blurring of small submerged rocks, larger emergent rocks at the atmosphere/water interface, a moist bank area, and a drier area beyond the moist area. Water on Mars has been reported a number of times, including surface water detected by instrumentation on Viking, Pathfinder, Phoenix, and Curiosity.
‘The evidence of life on Mars presented here provides a strong basis for many additional important biological as well as social and political questions,” he added. It also represents a solid justification for further study.’

Last week, Professor Emeritus William Romoser, an entomologist from Ohio University, said images captured by Nasa’s Mars rovers clearly show ‘fossilised and living creatures’ on the Red Planet’s surface. ‘There has been and still is life on Mars,’ Romoser said in a press release which has now been deleted from the Ohio University website as well as wire services which distribute releases to journalists. We found a poster of his research online, which is still available to read, which suggested Nasa is already ‘acquainted with Martian insect- and reptile-like creatures’ which live on Mars.
‘It appears that the “Red Planet” enjoys a surprising abundance of higher life forms,’ the paper continued. The research analysed images sent back to Earth by the Mars Rover and made several astonishing allegations. It suggested that creatures resembling ‘bees’ lived on Mars as well as reptile-like animals which preyed on them. ‘The insect-like fauna observed appeared to be sheltering/nesting in caves, in burrows beneath the surface, and in specialized structures,’ the paper continued. Rosomer’s claims made international headlines last week.

The photo was taken during the STS-39 Space Shuttle mission
The UFO expert believes the alien vessel is monitoring Earth
AUFO expert claimed that NASA’s photo of the Moon accidentally showed a strange-looking alien spacecraft hovering in low-Earth orbit. According to the expert, the alleged UFO in the photo is a rare one due to its shape.
The strange object was spotted by Scott Waring of the UFO-centered blog ET Data Base. He came across the object in a photo featured in the website Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth, which houses a collection of images taken during NASA’s space missions.
The particular photo that Waring focused on was taken during the STS-39 mission of the Space Shuttle Discovery, which was launched on April 28, 1991. The main objective of the mission was to conduct payload experiments for the U.S. Department of Defense.
Shortly after leaving Earth, the mission’s astronauts took a photo of the Moon from space. In the photo, the Moon can be seen in the center with a portion of Earth right below it.
In the source website, parts of the photo can be enlarged by moving the cursor over it. As noted by Waring, placing the cursor near the lower right-hand corner of the photo would reveal an image of a strange object just outside Earth.
Unlike other UFOs, the object in the photo has a very strange shape and resembles a lightning bolt. According to Waring, he had never seen an alien vessel shaped like that before.
“I was searching through NASA archive photo and saw this beautiful moon photo taken from the Shuttle Discovery,” Waring wrote on a blog post. “I didn't think I would find anything at the time, just thought it was a beautiful photo. I enlarged it and put it into autofocus and found something amazing. There was a black lightning bolt UFO in the lower right-hand corner of the photo. I have never ever reported a UFO of this shape. It's very rare and unlike anything I had come to expect.”
Although Waring strongly believes that the object is a UFO that’s closely monitoring Earth, there could be a natural explanation behind it. Based on the image, it is possible that the object’s appearance was caused by a flaw in the photo.
Earth's collision with a Mars-sized body may have given it its life-essential volatile elements.

The skies of northern Canada are home to plenty of mysterious phenomena (just ask our good buddy "Steve"), including no shortage of alleged UFO sightings. Now, truth seekers at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg may have a busy winter ahead of them, thanks to a recent donation of more than 30,000 UFO-related documents to the school's archives.
The donation comes courtesy of Chris Rutkowski, a science writer and prolific Canadian ufologist. Rutkowski's collection includes more than 20,000 UFO reports filed over the past 30 years, plus more than 10,000 UFO-related documents from the Canadian government, according to a statement from the University of Manitoba. Many of these documents concern an infamous UFO encounter known as the Falcon Lake incident — an encounter that Rutkowski calls Canada's "best-documented UFO case."
"It even beats Roswell [the alleged flying saucer spotted over New Mexico in 1947] because the United States still doesn't recognize that anything happened in Roswell," Rutkowski told the CBC. The Falcon Lake incident, meanwhile, struck both U.S. and Canadian officials as unusual — and unexplainable.
The incident occurred on May 20, 1967, when an amateur geologist named Stefan Michalak was prospecting for quartz near Falcon Lake in Manitoba — the Canadian province that begins above North Dakota and stretches nearly 800 miles (1,200 kilometers) into the frigid north. During his survey, Michalak was startled by a flock of agitated geese swooping past him. According to Michalak's numerous retellings of the story, the geese were apparently fleeing from two glowing, cigar-shaped objects in the sky. One of the objects flew off, and the other landed on a rocky terrace nearby.
Michalak spent some time sketching the mysterious craft (those sketches, now part of the University of Manitoba's collection, show a quintessential flying saucer) before finally approaching it. The air was warm and smelled of sulfur, and the craft was noisy with whirrs and hisses. The saucer was hot to the touch — so hot it burned the tips of Michalak's gloves, he said. It sounded like there were voices coming from within.
When Michalak looked into the craft through an open door, he expected to see a team of U.S. military pilots. Rather, he saw little more than a panel of blinking lights before the door closed, the craft rotated and a grid-like pattern of tiny holes in the ship's exterior sprayed his abdomen with scorching-hot gas.
The attack set Michalak's shirt and hat ablaze, and left him with first-degree burns on his stomach that echoed the ship's grid-like pattern. A hospital in Winnipeg treated his burns, which later rose into welts, and he suffered headaches, diarrhea and blackouts for several weeks after. Michalak relayed the incident to both U.S. and Canadian authorities, and he eventually completed a physical and psychological evaluation at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. The clinic determined that Michalak was of sound mind and not hallucinating.
Years later, a twisted piece of metal was recovered from the alleged Falcon Lake landing site. Tests showed the metal to be highly radioactive. To this day, neither the Canadian nor U.S. military has been able to explain the event.
All of Rutkowski's records on the Falcon Lake incident — plus thousands of other reported UFO encounters — will soon be available at the University of Manitoba's Archives & Special Collections. Got a few bucks to spare for the unknown? The school has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help digitize these documents.
8 Mysterious Underwater Ruins of Lost Civilizations
8 Mysterious Underwater Ruins of Lost Civilizations
Tales and myths of lost civilizations have been told since the dawn of time. The most famous is the story of Atlantis: a quasi-mythical city that sunk beneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Whether the story is true or not, it fills people with intrigue.
Today, archaeologists have discovered there are many sunken cities around the globe. Underwater excavations are difficult and expensive, so these investigations have only recently revealed many lost civilizations.
Around the planet, there are many not so mythical cities found underwater. Some can be traced back through history, yet many remain mysterious and continue to spark people’s imagination as candidates for lost civilizations.
Here are 8 underwater cities of lost civilizations you may not have heard of:
1) Ancient Greece: the sunken city of Pavlopetri.

Found in the south of modern-day Greece is the sunken city of Pavlopetri. Dating back 5000 years it is now more than four meters underwater and is the first lost city to be found around Greece. It is thought to have sunk around 1000BC due to an earthquake that shifted the land around many of the Greek islands.
From what has been so far uncovered at the site, the ancient cities layout resembles many modern-day cities. Well-designed roads, houses, gardens, temples, complex water management systems, and huge buildings have so far been found.
The entire city is so far known to be at least 80,000 square meters in size, with a vast open plaza in the center of these sunken ruins
2) Yonaguni Jima, The Japanese Atlantis.

The Island of Yonaguni is just miles away from Taiwan and is the last of the Ryukyu islands. It is the westernmost inhabited Japanese island. During the ice age, Yonaguni Island was part of the Chinese mainland. Then due to rising oceans and land shifts, it became one of the many islands that were spread out in between China and Japan. It was once part of the Ryukyu Kingdom until it was overtaken by Japan.
Although these ruins have never been properly researched, many claims are surrounding its origins and dating. These vary from between 10,000 to 5,000 years old. Controversy surrounds the validity of the sunken city, which according to some researchers, was once home to the legendary Jomon civilization that flourished in ancient Japan from around 12,000 to 300BC. It was this civilization that has some of the oldest found forms of pottery.
Regardless of their validity, the ruins have been submerged for at least two thousand years, meaning whatever was once there, would be extremely degraded.
Some geologists argue the formations found at Yonaguni Jima are naturally occurring. They comprise of many 90-degree angles that appear as manmade steps and passageways, as well as a few circular holes carved in stones around the site.
Although these sorts of formations are found in nature, the high amount in such close proximity has inspired many to investigate the mysterious underwater ruins in search of a lost civilization.
3)The Submerged castle in Lake Van, Turkey.

Sitting below the waters of the Middle-East’s second largest lake is a 3000-year-old castle. Thought to be the remains of the ancient Urartu civilization, the castle is around a kilometer in length, with walls of up to four meters tall.
This lost civilization once thrived in modern-day Turkey, Iran, and Armenia. Although much of the ruins are under the lake, there are still remnants that can be seen by the lakes edges.
4) Mahabalipuram, India
A shore temple of the lost city of Mahabalipuram in India.
The sunken ruins of Mahabalipuram lie between 6-8 meters below the current sea level off the coast of South Eastern India. Local folklore long spoke of the existence of ancient ruins, although was mainly confined to fishermen’s tales and thought of as myth.
However, when a tsunami devastated much of Asia in 2004, it revealed that the stories of the lost civilization were true after all.
As the waters receded around 500 meters before the tsunami hit, they pulled away silt and sand that had built up around the monuments that were until then buried at sea.
Since then, there has been a much more serious attempt in researching these sunken ruins.
5) Heracleion, Egypt. The Lost City of Cleopatra.
Sunken ruins of the lost city of Heracleion.
Submerged for at least 1600 years, the lost city of Cleopatra has been found off the shores of Alexandria in Egypt. Cleopatra was the last Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, and it was thought that her city was lost to rising seas as a consequence of an earthquake and resulting tidal waves. Pristine statues, and temples have been discovered at the site so far, many of which are in excellent condition.
Statues of Isis, a sphinx, and large red granite columns, as well as foundations of a palace, are among the relics found at the site. Around 20,000 objects have been located in the lost underwater city.
One object recovered from the water is a 2,000-year-old stone figurine of Cleopatra III: a Ptolemaic queen, but depicted as the Egyptian goddess Isis and sculpted in a style that combines both Egyptian and Greek aesthetics.
The findings revealed that Thonis (Egyptian) and Heracleion (Greek) were the same cities.
Cleopatra reigned during the times of the Ptolemaic dynasty, which ruled over Egypt from around 305bc to 30bc.
6) The Sunken City of Olous, Crete.
The island of Crete is bordered by an ancient Sunken Minoan City.
What was once part of the Minoan civilization, Olous is an underwater city that was once home to over 40,000 people. Between the 5th and 2nd century BC, Olous is thought to have reached its peak, making up one of around 100 Minoan cities that thrived around ancient Crete.
Although no one knows exactly what happened to Olous, it is thought that it gradually submerged due to rising sea levels. It is interesting to note that the east coast of Crete is sinking into the sea, while the west coast is rising slowly.
Crete is slowly but surely migrating west. This natural phenomenon started around the 4th century AD and could have been responsible for causing Olous to sink.
7) The Ancient Underwater City in Fuxian Lake, China

Fuxian Lake is one of the most intriguing underwater cities ever found. Many stories have emerged from this lake about a lost city dating back thousands of years. There isn’t too much written about the excavations, but what is known is there have been many findings dating back into antiquity.
There are many legends in the Yunnan Province (which is located in southwest China) that talk about sunken cities.
One of the ancient cities that researchers first believed to be at the bottom of the lake was the city of Yuyuan. The city was occupied from around 590-900AD and supposedly sunk to the bottom of the sea.
However, researchers have since concluded that the underwater city could not be that of Yuyuan as all artifacts have so far been made of stone, and not clay, which Yuyuan was almost entirely made from.
In 2001, a team of marine archaeologists decided to explore the lake and reported seeing pyramid-like structures as well as other buildings and stone objects. They claim the ruins are over 2000 years old and belong to the lost civilization known as the Dian Kingdom.
There are many varying stories about these underwater ruins. Further research is required to confirm its origin.
8) Port Royal, Jamaica’s lost city
The mysterious sunken ruins of Port Royal in Jamaica.
Up until 1692, Port Royal was one of the most important trading ports of the New World. It wasn’t for the faint-hearted though, with it being known across the world as the ‘wickedest city on earth.’
An earthquake and resulting tsunami brought the Jamaican city to its end, submerging it beneath the sea. The ruins are still accessible today, with travelers able to dive and explore the lost city.
Juno has now spotted seven giant cyclones near Jupiter's south pole.
A new, smaller cyclone can be seen at the lower right of this infrared image of Jupiter's south pole taken on Nov. 4, 2019, during the 23rd science pass of the planet by NASA's Juno spacecraft.
SAN FRANCISCO — NASA's Juno probe discovered a giant new storm swirling near Jupiter's south pole last month, a few weeks after pulling off a dramatic death-dodging maneuver.
Juno spied the newfound maelstrom, which is about as wide as Texas, on Nov. 3, during its most recent close flyby of Jupiter. The storm joins a family of six other cyclones in Jupiter's south polar region, which Juno had spotted on previous passes by the gas giant. (Those encounters also revealed nine cyclones near Jupiter's north pole, by the way.)
The southern tempests are arrayed in a strikingly regular fashion. Previously, five of them had formed a pentagon around a central storm, which is as wide as the continental United States. With the new addition, that girdling structure is now a hexagon.
"These cyclones are new weather phenomena that have not been seen or predicted before," Cheng Li, a Juno scientist from the University of California, Berkeley, said in a statement yesterday (Dec. 12).
"Nature is revealing new physics regarding fluid motions and how giant planet atmospheres work," he added. "We are beginning to grasp it through observations and computer simulations. Future Juno flybys will help us further refine our understanding by revealing how the cyclones evolve over time."
Juno orbits Jupiter on a highly elliptical path every 53 Earth days, gathering most of its data when it comes closest to the giant planet. And those encounters are quite close indeed: During the Nov. 3 pass, the 22nd science flyby of Juno's $1.1 billion mission, the probe skimmed a mere 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloud tops, NASA officials said.
But it took some fancy flying to make sure Juno survived the experience. The mission team determined that the probe's trajectory would take Juno into Jupiter's shadow for 12 hours on Nov. 3. And that likely would've been a death sentence for the solar-powered probe.
"We would've gotten cold. Really, really cold," Juno project scientist Steve Levin, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, said during a press conference here yesterday at the annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), where the team announced the new results.
But the navigation team at JPL came up with a solution: "jumping Jupiter's shadow." On Sept. 30, Juno's handlers directed the solar-powered probe to fire its small reaction-control engines in pulses for 10.5 hours. This pushed the probe's path steadily outward — and, ultimately, out of the shadow path altogether, Levin explained.
"Without that maneuver, without the creative genius of the folks at JPL on the navigation team, we wouldn't have the beautiful data that we have to show you today," he said.
Juno launched in 2011 and arrived in orbit around Jupiter on July 4, 2016. The spacecraft is studying Jupiter's composition and gravitational and magnetic fields, among other things. The data Juno is gathering should help researchers better understand how Jupiter — and, by extension, the solar system — formed and evolved, mission team members have said.
The initial mission plan called for Juno to tighten its science orbit considerably, down to 14 Earth days. But the team called off the engine burns that would have achieved this reduction after discovering issues with the probe's fuel-delivery system. So, Juno will stay in the 53-day orbit for the duration of its mission, which currently goes through July 2021.
Turns out it was Rocket Lab launching its 10th Electron rocket from Mahia Peninsula shortly before 9.20pm.
The mission - named Running Out Of Fingers - had seven satellites for commercial "ride-share" customers on board.
Rocket Lab✔@RocketLab
What a way to close out another year of Electron launches. A perfect mission + successful guided re-entry of stage 1 as we work towards reusable rockets. Congrats to @SpaceflightInc, @ALE_StarAle & @AlbaOrbital - we hope your satellites are enjoying their new home on orbit.
Rocket Lab CEO and founder Peter Beck said it was a "significant milestone" given its 100 per cent success rate at getting 47 satellites into space on its "ride-share" missions.
"Not only is this 10th mission a significant milestone launch for us, but our first guided stage re-entry was a complete success.
"The stage made it through the harsh re-entry environment intact, which is an outstanding result for a first test of our recovery systems.
"It's a huge testament to the relentless drive and commitment of our team that we've reached 10 flights in just our second year of commercial launches," Beck said.
Rocket Lab's next mission will take place within the first weeks of 2020.
Earth's magnetic north is shifting at an 'unprecedented' rate of 30 miles a year - throwing satellite positioning data and navigation systems off course
Earth's magnetic north is shifting at an 'unprecedented' rate of 30 miles a year - throwing satellite positioning data and navigation systems off course
New World Magnetic Model reveals movements in the Earth's magnetic field
Earth's magnetic north pole is moving towards Siberia and away from Canada
Northern lights may be harder to see from Canada as the magnetic north shifts
Magnetic devices and GPS systems used by military and aviation industries rely on accurate magnetic field readings
The Earth's magnetic North Pole is travelling at an unprecedented rate and is picking up speed as it moves towards Siberia, according to new satellite data.
The magnetic North Pole is the wandering point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field - created by molten iron within the planet’s core - points vertically downwards.
The latest World Magnetic Model, which tracks the movement of the Earth’s magnetic field, shows that the magnetic north is moving at a rate of 30 miles per year.
This is the fastest recorded shift of the Earth's north since the mid-16th century and could cause havoc for aviation and navigation systems, including smartphone apps that use GPS.
The WMM has also located ‘caution zones’ on Earth around the magnetic fields where compasses may be prone to errors and send users off course.
New World Magnetic Map data shows Earth's magnetic north is moving at 31 miles per year, up from just 6.2 miles around 20 years ago, away from Canada and towards Siberia
New World Magnetic Map data shows how Earth's magnetic north has moved away from Canada and towards Siberia. The dip pole is the magnetic pole where a free-swinging compass needle points directly into the ground. The geomagnetic pole is the position of the pole if the Earth’s magnetic field was like a bar magnet. The difference between them show how distorted the magnetic field has become
‘The magnetic North Pole wandered slowly around northern Canada from 1590 to around 1990 and then accelerated over the past 20 years moving from around 10 km (6.2 miles) per year to over 50 km (31 miles) per year,’ Ciaran Beggan of the British Geological Survey told MailOnline.
‘In contrast, the south magnetic pole has barely moved much in the past 100 years as the flow of the outer core there is much more sedate.'
After circling northern Canada for hundreds of years, the approximate location of the magnetic north pole started moving speedily towards Siberia at around the turn of the century.
Magnets rely on the Earth's magnetic field to send users in the right direction, but the problem is the magnetic field is constantly shifting around over time
The south magnetic pole has barely moved in the past 100 years compared to the north pole
WHAT IS THE WORLD MAGNETIC MODEL?
The World Magnetic Model is a key tool to model the change in the Earth’s magnetic field.
It gives accuracy to compasses, maps and GPS services by tracking irregular changes in the Earth’s magnetic core.
A new version of the World Magnetic Model is released every five years.
The current version, WMM2020, is only valid until 2025 to account for unpredictable magnetic changes.
Data from European Space Agency satellites and 160 land-based observatories as recently as October were used to map WMM2020.
The WMM is the standard model used by UK and US defence departments, NATO and the International Hydraulic Organisation.
It is mainly paid for and used by the military but it remains free for anyone else who needs it.
In recent months, it has crossed the Greenwich meridian line - the line of Zero Longitude from which all other longitudinal lines are measured.
Earth’s magnetic field is created by the movement of liquid iron in the Earth’s outer core, some 1,800 miles below our feet.
The iron is super hot (over 5,432 degrees Fahrenheit) and as runny as water meaning it flows very easily.
As the liquid flows, it drags the magnetic field with it.
‘We think the magnetic north pole has been sucked into a fast moving jet stream near the top of the planet and that’s causing it to be pulled from Canada to Siberia,’ Dr Beggan said.
'There are other factors, but that is the main one.'
Since its discovery in 1831, the north magnetic pole has travelled a total of around 1,400 miles.
This movement has been generally quite slow, but since the turn of the century has sped up – reaching an average speed of about 34 miles per year.
The shift will mean there will be less chance to see the Aurora in place of northern Canada
The new WMM forecasts that the northern magnetic pole will continue drifting towards Siberia in the next five years, at a slightly slower speed of about 25 miles per year.
The move also means that the northern lights will move slightly away from northern Canada towards Siberia, meaning there will be less chance to see them in some areas there.
The World Magnetic Model is a vital tool for civilian navigation systems and marine and aviation charts, which need to constantly adjust their measurements to account for the shifts in magnetic north.
Airport runways also rely on the navigation aid and use WMM data to give runways numerical names, which pilots refer to on the ground.
It’s the standard model used for navigation by the UK Ministry of Defence and the US Department of Defence - and even compasses and smartphone apps that rely on GPS.
If you have smartphone with a map application (and an inbuilt compass which most phones do), then Google or Apple will change the magnetic field map in the next few months, as part of the general software updates.
The WMM is jointly put together by the British Geological Survey and the USA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.
It’s updated every five years to take account of the unpredictability of the Earth’s magnetic field.
The updated model also confirms that the Earth’s magnetic field is weakening by about 5 per cent every century.
If this continues, the field could eventually reverse, which would have dire consequences for any civilisation around to witness it, because the magnetic field would no longer shield the Earth against damaging solar and cosmic radiation.
'If the field does reverse, it typically takes 5,000-10,000 years to do so,' said Dr Beggan.
'The usual process is that the two strong magnetic poles (north and south) vanish slowly, to be replaced by lots of local poles (so a compass points to its nearest 'pole').
'This state lasts a few thousand years and then the (reversed) south and north magnetic poles re-establish themselves.
'We won’t know if we’re in a reversal for a long time – certainly much longer than the average human lifetime.'
It’s been a helluva year for Unidentified Flying Objects.
Once thought to be fictional works used to sell tabloids, 2019 has been awash with news of UFOs, aliens and strange phenomenon — including reports (complete with video) from verifiably sane sources.
In November, another report in Popular Mechanics confirmed that after the 2004 incident, two “unknown individuals” took the data tapes away and wiped the memory from the Navy hard drive.
Meanwhile, just around the time the Popular Mechanics report was released, unidentified flying objects were captured on video off North Carolina’s Outer Banks and the Army announced a partnership with Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge’s To the Stars Academy to research alien technology.
But while astronomers say humans finding aliens may take a long time — 2019 was a particularly active year for UFOs visiting Earth.
According to the National UFO Reporting Center, on Sept. 21, in Gallipolis, Ohio, “A husband (former law enforcement) and wife (scientist), while sitting outside their recreational vehicle at a public campsite, witnessed a very bright light approach their campsite from the south in an erratic manner, appearing to slow or stop on several occasions as it drew near. It got within 50 yards, they estimate, of their campsite, at which time, out of a sense of alarm, the husband reached for his .45 caliber sidearm, but he felt unable to use his arm, or lift the firearm. The object, estimated by the witnesses to have been approximately 20 feet in diameter, hovered nearby for approximately 8 seconds, and then suddenly accelerated toward the west, and disappeared very quickly to the west.”
Meanwhile, on Sept. 1, in Taos, New Mexico, “Three elk hunters allegedly witnessed two alien creatures, standing upright, on a nearby hilltop. The next day, two of them return to the same area to look for evidence, and they allegedly witness an unusual looking craft resting on the ground.”
Closer to home, on Aug. 12, on the New Jersey Garden State Parkway (near exit 38B by Atlantic City), “A husband and wife were driving north on the NJ Garden State Parkway when their attention was drawn to two peculiar white lights that appeared to be approaching their location. Suddenly, they realized that the lights were affixed to a very large, triangular craft, which maneuvered to above the highway and hovered. The witnesses could see ‘windows’ on the top of the craft, from which light appeared to emanate. Traffic was passing underneath the craft.”
If you’re worried about your home state, a handy UFO HotSpot Infographic was created by SatelliteInternet.com, which shows the states with the most alien activity.
According to the infographic, aliens apparently prefer colder climes as “UFO hotspots include Washington State (the home of the National UFO Reporting Center), Montana and Vermont. Alaska and Maine are also popular states for alien encounters.”
The states with the least alien activity are Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama — despite former President Jimmy Carter logging an official report with the International UFO Bureau in 1969, claiming he had seen a self-illuminated, multi-colored UFO before giving a speech at the Lions Club in Leary, Georgia.
David Wilcock: Pete Peterson's "deathbed confession" on Secret Space Programs
David Wilcock: Pete Peterson's "deathbed confession" on Secret Space Programs
The US Navy has now officially declassified operable patents for anti-gravity and free-energy technology. The Air Force announced on December 6th that "Secret Space Programs" will be declassified in 2020.
This new Intel precisely fits with the inside information from Pete Peterson, in a call from June 6th, 2019.
Peterson was arguably the top specialist for black-ops technology in the military-industrial complex for many years.
According to this "deathbed confessional" from Pete, he would be allowed to tell the world anything he wanted about his experiences "on the inside" within six to eight months from the time of the interview.
Pete was preparing to come forward about his experiences visiting 60 to 65 different off-planet locations, and just over a month later, he died of an "accidental injection" at the senior center he was staying at.

The 1st interstellar object – 1I/’Oumuamua – had already passed closest to our sun when astronomers first spotted it. So catching this 2nd one – 2I/Borisov – prior to perihelion was a big plus for astronomers! Before and after images here.
Before. Here’s comet 2I/Borisov – the 2I stands for 2nd interstellar – on November 16, 2019, about 3 weeks before its perihelion, or closest point to the sun. It appears in front of a distant background spiral galaxy (2MASX J10500165-0152029), whose bright central core is smeared because Hubble was tracking the comet. Comet Borisov was approximately 203 million miles (327 million km) from Earth in this exposure. The streak off to the upper right is its tail of ejected dust.
Astronomers last week (December 12, 2019) released new Hubble Space Telescope images of 2I/Borisov – the second-known interstellar object – shortly before and shortly after its December 8 perihelion. Those images are historic in and of themselves; we’ve never before witnessed an interstellar object sweeping closest to our sun. 2I/Borisov – discovered on August 30, 2019, by comet hunter Gennady Borisov in Crimea, and now characterized as a comet – was about twice as far as Earth from the sun at its closest, on the inner edge of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. So its December 8 passage nearest our sun wasn’t a close passage for a comet. But – since comets are most active when they sweep closest to a star – astronomers hoped to see 2I/Borisov exhibit an outburst or other activity.
We haven’t heard of any outbursts from 2I/Borisov, but the Hubble observations did yield important science. Astronomer David Jewitt of UCLA led the team that captured the new images. Jewitt said in a statement:
Hubble gives us the best upper limit of the size of comet Borisov’s nucleus [core], which is the really important part of the comet.
Surprisingly, our Hubble images show that its nucleus is more than 15 times smaller than earlier investigations suggested it might be. Our Hubble images show that the radius is smaller than half-a-kilometer [.3 miles].
Knowing the size is potentially useful for beginning to estimate how common such objects might be in the solar system and our galaxy. Borisov is the first known interstellar comet, and we would like to learn how many others there are.
After. Astronomers aimed Hubble toward 2I/Borisov again on December 9, 2019, shortly after its perihelion or closest point to the sun on December 8, 2019. When closest to the sun, a comet receives maximum heating; it tends to be most active. It’s also moving fastest in orbit. 2I/Borisov was barreling along at some 100,000 miles (160,000 km) per hour at perihelion. At its closest to the sun, 2I/Borisov was about twice Earth’s average distance from the sun, near the inner edge of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It was 185 million miles (298 million km) from Earth in this photo. Its nucleus or core – made of ices and dust – was still too small to see. The comet will make its closest approach to Earth in late December at a distance of 180 million miles (290 million km).
Let’s back up a minute. What is 2I/Borisov? We’ve said it’s the second interstellar visitor and the first known interstellar comet. That is, it’s a comet from another star system. The first interstellar object was spotted by astronomers in Hawaii in late 2017. Earthly astronomers named it 1I/’Oumuamua (“Scout”). The 1I stands for 1st interstellar.
‘Oumuamua was positively identified as coming from beyond our solar system. The shape of its orbit told that story. But it couldn’t be positively identified as a comet, despite the fact that – because they’re only loosely bound to their own stars – comets are the most likely candidates for becoming interstellar objects. ‘Oumuamua, though, was a strange object – long and thin – and didn’t show any signs of outgassing or a tail. It looked in many ways more like an asteroid than a comet.
Plus it had already passed its perihelion when astronomers first spotted it. It was already heading outward, back out of our solar system again.
So seeing the second-known interstellar object – 2I/Borisov – both before and after perihelion was a big plus for astronomers!
And now both 1I/’Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov are heading outward again. By the middle of 2020, 2I/Borisov will have zoomed past Jupiter’s distance of 500 million miles (800 million km) on its way back to interstellar space.
But, never fear – now that they’ve spotted the first two interstellar objects – astronomers expect to find more.
2I/Borisov’s orbit. The “2I” stands for “2nd interstellar.” In other words, this is only the 2nd object from a distant solar system known to have swept past our sun. Its perihelion – or closest point to the sun – is just outside the orbit of Mars.
Bottom line: Astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain images of 2I/Borisov – the second known interstellar object – before and after its December 8, 2019, perihelion, or closest point to the sun.
The CIA Simulated UFO Abductions In Latin America As Psychological Warfare Experiments
The CIA Simulated UFO Abductions In Latin America As Psychological Warfare Experiments
IN BRIEF
The Facts:
In his book, "Forbidden Science 4," Dr. Jacques Valle explains how he came in possession documents showing that forced "UFO abductions" were conducted by the CIA as psychological warfare experiments.
Reflect On:
This field really requires a lot of critical thinking, and a lot of research. It's no doubt filled with disinformation and misinformation that seems to plague the mainstream UFO community today.
Throughout history, the field of ufology and the examination of the extraterrestrial hypothesis has, without a doubt, been overcome with a plethora of disinformation. Those who have dived into the depths of ufology know this best, as it’s well documented that ‘outsiders’ from intelligence agencies and governments have infiltrated the field for the purposes of deceiving researchers and people who are interested in the topic for one simple reason, to keep them away from the truth. On top of these disinformation campaigns, which still seem to be in operation today, there has long been an “official campaign of ridicule and secrecy” (Roscoe Hillenkoetter, Ex CIA director) associated with the subject. This is why I encourage all those reading who dive into this subject to stick with facts, data, and evidence rather than entertain what seem to be outlandish claims that in no way, at all, can be verified.
I’d like to draw your attention to Dr. Jacques Vallee, who holds a master’s degree in astrophysics and a Ph.D. in computer science. The subject of UFOs first attracted his attention as an astronomer in Paris. He subsequently became a close associate of Project Blue Book’s J. Allen Hynek and has written several books on the UFO enigma. He is currently a venture capitalist living in San Francisco. Vallée co-developed the first computerized map of Mars for NASA in 1963. He later worked on the network information center for the ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet, as a staff engineer of SRI International’s Augmentation Research Center under Douglas Engelbart.
He’s a researcher that’s had a very interesting life, to say the least, with regards to researching the topic of UFOs. He’s come into contact with and had meetings with most experts in the field, politicians from around the world, high ranking military personnel and much more. His journey into the subject has led him to investigate an uncountable amount of case reports regarding UFOs and supposed extraterrestrial beings, and he’s been a major player with regards to bringing the mainstream scientific community forward to look at the evidence and data that’s involved with such a serious subject, that, in his time, was largely ridiculed. He is an important reason why the phenomenon has gained as much credibility as it has today.
Vallee is one of many who have written about and documented the startling evidence that well-constructed hoaxes and media manipulations have misled UFO researchers, diverting them from the UFO phenomenon itself, what’s really going on.
In one of his latest books, Forbidden Science 4, he shares a record of his private study into unexplained phenomena between 1990 and the end of the millennium, during which he was traveling around the global pursuing his professional work as a high-technology investor. It’s a bit of a diary, documenting his experiences and encounters/meetings as he tries to examine and explore the phenomenon.
In an entry dated Thursday 26 March 1992, Vallee writes:
I have secured a document confirming that the CIA simulated UFO abductions in Latin America (Brazil and Argentina) as psychological warfare experiments.
Reading this line from his book triggered me back to earlier in his book when he mentions one of many conversations he’s had with Ron Blackburn.
On Monday 16 April 1990, he writes:
Over lunch again with Colonel Ron Blackburn (Air Force) at the Gatehouse in Palo Alto he revealed that the “Secret Onion” group started in 1985 in the classified tank located in his basement at the Lockheed Skunk Works. Colonel John Alexander had brought him a list of the people in the inner circle. They divided the world into layers of concentric trust and ability. John introduced Blackburn to Ed Dames. Blackburn and I have a firmed up our plants to ravel to New Mexico on May 4th, up the high mesa – supposedly to meet some Aliens.
It’s interesting to note that Colonel John Alexander army writes about Blackburn in his book, “UFOs, myths, conspiracies and realities.”
Among the people I met was Dr. Ron Blackburn, a retired U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel who was then working at the Lockheed Skunk Works in Burbank. It was Blackburn who first asked me if I had ever heard of the infamous Area 51. In the early 1980s, this facility was still not widely known inside the military, let alone the general public, even though it had been functional for decades…Among areas of common interest between Blackburn and me were UFOs. We discussed many possibilities related to who might be in charge of UFO research. We both thought that there was some organization, probably within the U.S. Air Force, which had the responsibility. But we acknowledged that whoever had the ball, there must be a an interagency effort as well. Our assumption was that somebody must be in charge, and we were well aware of all the prevailing stories and rumours. Roswell, we assumed, was a real UFO event.
Fast forward to Friday, May 4th, 1990, Vallee writes about Blackburn:
“I’m convinced the government is working on UFOs,” he told me. “What are the chances some witnesses are being fooled by special effects developed by psychological warfare?” I countered. Thinking of cases like Bentwaters in the UK or Cergy-Pontoise in France. “They’re pretty good,” he admitted. “Suppose you shine a week infrared laser into people’s eyes; it won’t hurt them but may induce a hallucinatory state. Experiments have been done where you send a microwave beam through someone’s brain; you pick up the transmitted energy pattern. You can influence people this way, even make them hear things. Holograms have been used too,”
fIt’s interesting to note the conversation Valle had with Blackburn in 1990, and then in 1992 writes that he had received a document that the CIA had been involved with staging UFO (alien abductions). Combine this information with Blackburn mentioning that holograms have been used, and technology exists to produce “hallucinatory” states.
This is just one of many examples and pieces of evidence many researchers in the field point to suggesting that there are staged abductions happening for reasons unknown, and that it’s continuing today. It’s not surprising either if you’ve ventured down the road of CIA mind controlled tactics, programs like MK ultra and their desire to manipulate the perception of the masses with regards to various topics. It’s not surprising if you’ve looked into the black budget world, a world that’s far more advanced that the mainstream world with regards to technology.
Dr. David Jacobs, a retired university professor, is one of many experts who has hypnotically regressed people who claim to have had ET abduction experiences. After thousands of people, they all share the same story. Many filled with forced impregnation, and ‘hybrid’ children, among other things. Could many of these forced abduction experiments simply be deep black projects that are being conducted by rogue government agencies? Now we know that yes, many of them could be. Are all of them? There are stories floating around out there without much evidence, like the idea that Eisenhower made a deal with certain extraterrestrial groups, that they could abduct a certain amount of humans for the exchange of technology. Based on the idea that that forced abductions may be military operations, this supposed meeting is called into question.
Vallee writes of Jacobs in his book:
I am trying to read Jacob’s Secret Life.’ The author appears obsessed with what he views as a massive Alien invasion, his analysis is no longer balanced.
This may explain why there is a whole array of people who claim to have had experience with beings from somewhere else, but these experiences did not involve forced abductions, but rather, simple contact experiences. Remember, the key nuance here is we’re talking about human and ET contact, vs forced abductions which are often quite aggressive or terrifying for people.
I’ve written previously about the work of Jacobs, you can read that article here. I’ve been in this field for more than a decade now and the more I learn, the more I have to unlearn and consider other possibilities. I wrote that article being aware that many abduction cases could be military operations, but I did not mention it. I’ve come across the work of many who have interviewed abductees and, from their experiences, there also seems to be a military component as well, or a feeling of military personnel appearing as ‘Aliens.’
How Deep Does The Misinformation Go?
Richard Doty is also mentioned multiple times in Valle’s book. He is a retired Air Force Special investigations officer (AFSIO), and his job was to spread disinformation about the UFO subject during his time with the Air Force. Spreading disinformation about the reality of UFOs is no secret, and in Doty’s case, he admitted to infiltrating UFO circles along with his colleagues to feed ufologists and journalists lies and half truths so that they would never understand any real truth.
So, as you can see, this type of narrative has many interesting sources. You can read more about Doty and watch an interview with him here.
Regardless, There Is Something Going On Here
Valle, and all others in this field are quite aware that something real is going on, and something quite possibility extraterrestrial and inter-dimensional. This article is not meant to shed doubt on the phenomenon itself as well as the extraterrestrial hypothesis. Credible information with regards to sightings, crash retrieval, and possible bodies and contact experiences with ‘aliens’ are out there and can be examined. That being said, there is obviously a lot of disinformation out there as well, ridiculous claims as well as charlatans who are in the field spreading lies and fake stories for the purposes of making money, or perhaps to do what Doty was once tasked with, to spread disinformation, are out there.
With all that being said, the fact remains that:
There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations….This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.
