Former Polish president warns of ET invasion
Former Polish president warns of ET invasion
Walesa's comments are rather surprising.

Walesa’s comments are rather surprising.
In a recent speech, Lech Walesa made some rather 'out there' comments about extraterrestrial visitors.
His unexpected remarks were made during a talk at a civic club in Krosno where he went inexplicably off-topic and started to discuss his belief that intelligent extraterrestrials are not only watching us, but could soon intervene in a catastrophic way due to the actions of other world leaders.
"There are three levels of intellectual development in other galaxies," he said. "We are the lowest. And the higher civilization comes as a UFO and others [sic], and looks at what they are doing here."
"If we threaten to destabilize here with Macron, Putin there, they will interrupt us, cut us in half, the Earth will collapse, everyone will [be] crush[ed]. They can hold us that way for five thousand years."
"They will send Adam and Eve and we will build the world again."
Walesa also seems to be under the impression that extraterrestrials have interfered with human civilization before, as evidenced by his belief that they had a hand in building the pyramids.
"People find things, dig in stones, these pyramids... no answer, where did it come from?" he said.
Exactly what the former Polish leader is basing any of this on however remains unclear, especially given that he has never publically expressed any interest in the subject before.
While it's easy to dismiss his comments as nonsense, some have suggested that he may have learned something during his time as president and has been keeping it a secret until now.
Then again, these could simply be his own personal views and theories.
We may never know for sure.

Deze mysterieuze tekening in Australië plaatst de wetenschap voor een groot raadsel
Een groot raadsel in Australië is nog altijd onopgelost. In 1998 werd in het zuiden van het land een mysterieuze tekening van een Aboriginal-jager gevonden in het zand.
Het is nog altijd onduidelijk wie de ruim 3,5 kilometer grote geoglief heeft gemaakt.
De zogeheten Marree Man is zo groot dat hij alleen goed zichtbaar is vanuit de lucht.
Restaureren
De Marree Man is vernoemd naar een nabijgelegen plaats. De lijnen zijn in de loop der jaren vervaagd, en in 2013 waren ze nauwelijks nog zichtbaar.
In augustus 2016 besloten lokale bewoners de geoglief te restaureren. In vijf dagen tijd werd de Marree Man opnieuw ‘getekend’.
Het restauratieteam denkt dat de nieuwe versie langer zichtbaar blijft dan het origineel.
Raadsel
De Operational Land Imager-satelliet van de NASA maakte onderstaande foto van de tekening in juni vorig jaar.
Het raadsel rond de tekening is nog altijd onopgelost.
Er zouden aanwijzingen zijn dat de Marree Man is gemaakt door een kunstenaar uit Alice Springs, terwijl anderen suggereren dat de maker een Amerikaan was.
It is unclear who created the giant geoglyph or why, but the large earthen figure has drawn attention to a remote part of South Australia for two decades.
Finally! After a week of stories about mysterious giant drones flying in formation over parts of northeastern Colorado and across the border into Nebraska, with numerous eyewitness accounts from law enforcement agencies, the Federal Aviation Administration has made two announcements. First, the agency issued a proposed rule change requiring most drones to be easily identifiable remotely. Second, the FAA announced it is working with law enforcement in the five counties reporting the giant drones in a concerted effort to identify the owner and their purpose. Great news or too little too late?
“It was too low to the ground to be a plane, and it seemed way too close to the house to be out in space, like a satellite. It was definitely within driving range, for sure. You could see that it was rotating. You could see things sticking off to the sides. It was crazy.”
The Denver Post interviewed Jennifer Rollins who captured what appears to be one of the first known videos of the nighttime drones (watch it here) while visiting her parents in Colorado’s Yuma County – ground zero for these drone sightings. Her sighting came a day after the Denver Post revealed it had received an email from FAA spokesman Ian Gregor to Reuters announcing the proposed rule change for identifying drones.
The rule will be open for public comment for 60 days and the debate is expected to be heated, with there currently being nearly 1.5 million drones and 160,000 remote pilots currently registered with the FAA and more coming as excited new owners play with their Christmas presents … and as more potential terrorists seethe over national and world developments.
While officials continue to say publicly that the Colorado giant drones don’t appear to be “malicious,” U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, who lives in Yuma and is a member of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Aviation and Space, says he’s closely monitoring the situation and is “encouraged that they’ve opened a full investigation to learn the source and purpose of the drones. ‘They’ is the FAA, which will meet with Yuma County Sheriff Todd Combs and other sheriff’s offices and police departments on January 6th. Combs says:
“Hopefully this meeting will provide some answers, or at least aid in the development of a plan to identify who is in control of the drones.”
Meanwhile, local residents like Dawn George of Wray in Yuma County continue to be concerned about the regular nightly appearances of the mysterious giant drones, as are her dogs.
“They’ll run out. They can hear them. If you’re familiar with what a drone sounds like, they sound identical to a smaller drone, just louder. It’s just really weird that everybody is seeing them and no one has an answer … or someone has an answer and we’re not being told what is going on.”
Good observation, Dawn. Why has it taken so long for the FAA to get involved? Why is the identification ruling just ‘proposed’ and ‘open for comment’ and not more of a temporary restraining order until this mystery is resolved? Why is the first meeting a week away while the drones continue to fly in formation in two states? Why do officials continue to say the drones are not “malicious” but don’t say why?
“It’s just really weird.”
Let’s hope that’s all it is, Dawn. Meanwhile, we’ll keep an eye on the story and on the skies over Colorado and Nebraska.
The Amazon everyone knows today is in Seattle, Washington. The REAL Amazon flows through South America. The Amazons — the mythological tribe of warrior women believed by ancient Greeks to be the daughters of Ares (the Greek god of war, appropriately) and Harmonia (a nymph of the Akmonian Wood in Anatolia) lived in Anatolia, better known as Asia Minor, the large peninsula that is the westernmost protrusion of the Asian continent making up most of modern-day Turkey. The REAL Amazons lived in Russia. Wait … what? Wonder Woman is Russian? This changes EVERYTHING!
Russian? You’ve got some explaining to do!
“Such head dresses have been found a bit more than two dozen and they all were in ‘tzar’ or not very rich barrows of the steppe zone of Scythia. We first found such head dress in the barrows of the forest steppe zone and what is more interesting the head dress was first found in the burial of an Amazon.”
In a recent press release, Valerii Guliaev, the head of the Don River archeological expedition, described what he announced in greater detail at the December 2019 meeting of the Academic Council of IA RAS. The Don River runs from Novomoskovsk south for 1,870 km (1162 miles – making it Russia’s fifth-longest river) to the Sea of Azov, a northern extension of the Black Sea. His team has been digging in Cemetery Devitsa V (Devista is a village on the Don) since 2010 and has found 19 mounds covered burial sites. One in particular, called Barrow 9, recently revealed an ancient tomb from when the ancient Greeks referred to the area as Sythia, home of a nomadic culture of Scythians from the 11th century BCE until the second century CE.
In Barrow 9, Guliaev’s team found the graves of four women of various ages — 20-29, 25-35, 12-13 and 45-50 years old. All were buried at the same time and the grave robbers had broken into the part holding two of the younger women, but the others were untouched. In them, they found “more than 30 iron arrow heads, an iron hook in the shape of a bird, fragments of horse harness, iron hooks for hanging harness, iron knives, fragments of molded vessels, multiple animals’ bones.” One was buried in a “position of a horseman” with the tendons of her legs cut to allow them to be bent. The ceremonial headdress was buried with the oldest woman along with an iron knife wrapped into a piece of fabric and a rare iron arrow head with forked end. These and other artifacts identified the women as Amazon warriors and this as a very unique find, according to Guliaev.
“The Amazons are common Scythian phenomenon and only on Middle Don during the last decade our expedition has discovered approximately 11 burials of young armed women. Separate barrows were filled for them and all burial rites which were usually made for men were done for them. However, we come across burials with four Amazons of such different age for the first time.”
Not only that, two of the women – the oldest and the youngest – appear to have died at the same time. There are no indications of injuries or fatal contagious diseases, so their simultaneous deaths are a mystery still waiting to be solved. As is the mystery of how and why these nomadic Scythian women became the real Amazons of Greek legends – mythical warriors who were tied to what is now Turkey or, in the tale of Wonder Woman, to Paradise Island in the middle of an ocean.
The Amazons Were More Than A Myth: Archaeological And Written Evidence For The Ancient Warrior Women
The Amazons Were More Than A Myth: Archaeological And Written Evidence For The Ancient Warrior Women
ByCarly Silver
The Amazons frequently pop up in Greek mythology. But unlike the demi-god Hercules, they were probably real.

Legends of formidable female warriors known as the Amazons permeate ancient lore – and, with the Wonder Woman franchise, modern-day movie screens. In particular, Ancient Greek writers loved spinning tales of how the Amazon women matched men in their traditional domain of war-making.
Mythographer Apollodorus, writing in the first or second century A.D., dubbed the Amazons “a people great in war,” who were so committed to martial endeavors that they “pinched off the right breasts that they might not be trammelled by them in throwing the javelin, but they kept the left breasts, that [their offspring] might suckle.”
They were even said to challenge the likes of such mythological warriors as Heracles, Theseus, and Achilles. But were the Amazons just a myth — or were they real?
The Real Amazons Of Ancient History
Did the Amazonians really exist? Historian Adrienne Mayor delves into their complicated history.
What did the ancient Greeks have to say about the Amazons outside of myths? As classicist Adrienne Mayor noted in her seminal book, The Amazons, apparently, they believed that the Amazons were very much real historical figures. They may have very well been real-life horse-riding women hailing from Western Asia — places such as Iran and the Caucasus — who fought valiantly against their enemies.
According to Smithsonian Magazine, Homer’s Iliad was the first to mention them in the eighth century B.C. He described them as “antianeirai,” which many scholars have translated as “the opposite of men,” “antagonistic to men,” and “the equal of men.”
Centuries later, the so-called “Father of History,” Herodotus, wrote that the Amazons hailed from Scythia, a large steppe region in Central Eurasia.
Dubbed “man-killers” in the Greek tongue, the Amazons lived an idyllic, isolated existence, only mingling with men from neighboring tribes once a year in a ceremonious procreation ritual. The mothers would keep their female offspring and train them as warriors, and send off their male infants.

But their all-female utopia came to an end in the Battle of Thermodon, when three Amazonian ships sailing through the Black Sea reached the shores of Scythia. The native men and Amazonian women soon fell in love, marrying and starting their own tribe distinguished by revolutionary gender equality.
According to Herodotus, the Amazons “could not dwell with [the Scythian] women; for we and they have not the same customs. We shoot with the bow and throw the javelin and ride, but the crafts of women we have never learned.”
Herodotus called the descendants of these marriages the Sauromatae, or Sarmatians. Writing in the fifth century B.C., he said “the women of the Sauromatae have continued from that day to the present to observe their ancient customs, frequently hunting on horseback with their husbands…in war taking the field and wearing the very same dress as the men….Their marriage law lays it down, that no girl shall wed until she has killed a man in battle.”

Amazons In Myth
In Greek mythology, the Amazons were fearsome adversaries to the greatest heroes of the day. Theseus, the slayer of the Minotaur, and Heracles, known in Ancient Rome and in the West as Hercules, were both said to have battled the Amazons.
In Theseus’s case, he reportedly ran off with the Amazons’ queen. Plutarch, writing in the beginning of the first millennium, calls the queen Antiope, though other ancient writers identify her as Hippolyta, Antiope’s sister.
By varying accounts, Theseus either stole the queen, had Heracles steal her for him, or the queen fell in love with Theseus and willingly left with him on his ship.
Furious, the Amazons trekked all the way to Athens to liberate their ruler. According to Plutarch, they put up a good fight: “The war of the Amazons…[was] no trivial nor womanish enterprise for Theseus. For they would not have pitched their camp within the city, nor fought hand to hand battles in the neighborhood of the Pnyx and the Museum, had they not mastered the surrounding country and approached the city with impunity.”
It was only after the Attic War, a hard-fought, three-month-long battle, which culminated in the death of their beloved leader, that the Amazons retreated. So many Amazon warriors died valiantly at Athens that they were buried at near a site called the Amazoneum, a temple that stood during Plutarch’s time and that may have been where Ancient Greeks would go to worship the mythic Amazons.

Theseus and the Amazon queen’s relationship was famous for yielding a son, Hippolytus. According to one interpretation, he was devoted to the goddess of the hunt, Artemis, and defied Aphrodite, the goddess of love.
In retaliation, Aphrodite cursed his stepmother Queen Phaedra of Athens — the second wife of Theseus — making her fall in love with Hippolytus. However, Hippolytus rejected her advances, leading to his death and Phaedra’s suicide.
Heracles And Hippolyta’s Girdle
Another major Amazon adventure came when Heracles embarked on his ninth quest: retrieving the famous girdle of the Amazon Queen Hippolyta for Eurystheus, the daughter of a Mycenaean king. According to myth, this magical girdle was a gift from Hippolyta’s father, Ares, the god of war.
When Heracles landed at Themiscyra, the legendary capital of the Amazons situated on the northern coast of present-day Turkey, Hippolyta was happy to receive him and promised to give him the girdle. But his stepmother, Hera, transformed herself into a mortal Amazon warrior and went around “saying that the strangers who had arrived were carrying off the queen.”
To protect her, the Amazons charged the Greek hero, who “suspected treachery” and killed Hippolyta for the girdle, setting off for Troy.

Achilles and Penthesilea, queen of the Amazons, fight on a 6th-century B.C. amphora.
According to historian Diodorus Siculus, who lived in the first century B.C., Heracles slayed so many Amazons during his quest that this gave neighboring barbarian tribes an opportunity to attack them.
The Amazons In The Trojan War
A few generations later, by the time of the Trojan War, there were only a few Amazon warriors left. Led by Queen Penthesilea, they allied themselves with the Trojans against the Greeks, who were led by the Ethiopian King Memnon, Spartan King Menelaus and the demigod Achilles, the greatest of the Greek mythological warriors.
Franz von Matsch/Wikimedia Commons
The ancient Greek war hero Achilles was said to have fallen in love with an Amazonian during the Trojan War.
It is said that “after the death of Hector she [Penthesilea] slew many of the Greeks.” And the only warrior who could match her prowess was the mighty Achilles himself.
A surviving synopsis from a lost ancient epic, the Aethiopis, recalls that Achilles only defeated her after she displayed “great prowess” on the battlefield.
So enchanted by her beauty and martial skills was Achilles that one of his fellow warriors, Thersites, mocked him for his affections. Angry, Achilles slew Thersites for his rudeness.
After Penthesilea’s death, the Amazons dwindled even further.
Historian Siculus lamented: “Now they say that Penthesilea was the last of the Amazons to win distinction for bravery and that for the future the race diminished more and more and then lost all its strength; consequently in later times, whenever any writers recount their prowess, men consider the ancient stories about the Amazons to be fictitious tales.”
Did Alexander The Great Have A Child With An Amazon?
The Amazons are also mentioned in the writings of Plutarch. In his Lives, Plutarch recounted Alexander the Great’s march into Parthia, or present-day Iran, in the fourth century B.C.
While he was recovering from diarrhea, legend has it, the queen of the Amazons came to visit Alexander in order to breed a new race of super-strong and intelligent children — although Plutarch himself was doubtful this ever happened.

The Amazonian queen Thalestris meets Alexander the Great.
Later historians such as Diodorus Siculus stated that Thalestris, queen of the Amazons, paid Alexander a visit. He described her as “remarkable for beauty and for bodily strength, and was admired by her countrywomen for bravery.”
Along with 300 of her Amazon women, Thalestris came to Alexander to conceive a child because “he had shown himself the greatest of all men in his achievements, and she was superior to all women in strength and courage, so that presumably the offspring of such outstanding parents would surpass all other mortals in excellence.”
Diodorus said Alexander was happy to oblige, and after nearly two weeks of sex, sent Thalestris home with presents — and presumably an heir.
Archaeological Evidence For The Amazons

A gold vessel from a burial site of real-life warrior women.
In recent decades, archaeologists have excavated grave sites in Western Asia and Russia, unearthing proof that women fitting the description of Amazons may have very well existed.
In what was considered the homelands of the historical Amazon women, scientists have uncovered burial places of women with lavish grave goods that indicated not only their wealth but, more importantly, their warrior status.
“Archaeologists have found skeletons buried with bows and arrows and quivers and spears and horses. At first they assumed that anyone buried with weapons in that region must have been a male warrior. But with the advent of DNA testing and other bioarchaeological scientific analysis, they’ve found that about one-third of all Scythian women are buried with weapons and have war injuries just like the men. The women were also buried with knives and daggers and tools. So burial with masculine-seeming grave goods is no longer taken as an indicator of a male warrior. It’s overwhelming proof that there were women answering to the description of the ancient Amazons.”
More evidence came in the 1990s, when archaeologists excavated burial mounds of ancient women in the former Soviet bloc. These graves contained not only rich ornamentation but also weapons.

Then, in Kazakhstan, archaeologist Jeannine Davis-Kimball uncovered deceased women who were bow-legged from a lifetime of riding horses, while another woman was buried with 40 arrows tipped in bronze.
As Davis-Kimball told The New York Times in 1997: “These women were warriors of some sort. They were not necessarily fighting battles all the time, like a Genghis Khan, but protecting their herds and grazing territory when they had to. If they had been fighting all the time, more of the skeletons would show signs of violent deaths.”
Why Were The Greeks So Fascinated By The Amazons?
Even if the Amazons were indeed real, it seems the ancient Greeks used Amazon myths to put women in their place.
In the words of one ancient Greece expert, every Amazon myth followed the same “dark mythic script: all Amazons must die, no matter how attractive, no matter how heroic.” The Greeks may have toyed with the possibility that women were the equals of men, but ultimately erred on the side of subjugation.
While their mythological portrayal is somewhat exaggerated — most notably, their supposed tendency to live in a female-only or female-dominated society — warrior women who rode into combat alongside men certainly existed in the steppes of Eurasia, inspiring the Greeks to write enthralling stories of their beauty and martial prowess.
Little did they know, those stories would inspire and entertain more than 2,000 years later.
After reading about the Amazon women of ancient Greek myth — and reality — read about another formidable woman from antiquity, the ruthless Empress Wu Zetian of China. Then, learn all about ancient societies that adopted pederasty.
“We are the couple who filmed the UFO over Mesa, Arizona, on Dec 8th 2019. We couldn’t believe it! It was the same exact craft, or object we saw from Dec 8th 2019! It behaved and maneuvered dropping the orbs or objects just like the last time we saw it. But this time it did something new we didn’t see the last time.”
As many UFO witnesses will attest, once you see one you can’t stop looking for them. Most never see another — Mesa residents Kerri Burnett and Doug Maier were lucky (or perhaps chosen?) to see the same UFO they witnessed on December 8, 2019. Doug posted his first video on Facebook and the sighting was reported on by many media outlets, with one ABC reporter following up unsuccessfully with the FAA. nearby Luke Air Force Base and the Army National Guard. On New Year’s Eve, just before midnight as fireworks began to blast, Maier and Burnett saw it again and recorded another video (watch it here) along with a shocking new twist.
“This time it did something new, and it was pretty scary as I almost shit a brick. It let off a super bright glow also possibly a second object or craft. It lit up and glowed aggressively, it was no firework. The clock had just hit midnight taking us into 2020, so there were fireworks. Watch for yourself.”
How many more before the authorities admit something is happening?
Maier told me it was the same craft in the same area as the last one. He compiled both his and Burnett’s videos (proving it wasn’t a camera anomaly) into one and added a daytime view of the same area to show it was not a light from a tower. He concluded it with this reaction:
“When that thing took off or disappeared, it got really bright and BAM! Gone. This was a little frightening compared to the last time. Happy 2020!! Watch those skies.”
Good advice from a couple who can’t explain the bright orb they’ve now seen twice in the same location – and no one else seems to be able to (or willing to) explain it either. Are they too busy in Colorado chasing easier-to-explain drones? Or perhaps they’re in Phoenix watching a video of a cigar-shaped UFO over Sky Harbor International Airport on December 28th (does that date sound familiar?).
While the cigar UFO seems motionless for many minutes, there’s something familiar about that location and date that many commenters picked up on, like this one:
John Moore It’s the Goodyear Blimp, in town for the Fiesta Bowl. You can see it on the radar archives.
The Playstation Fiesta Bowl was played on December 28th (full disclosure – this writer is a fan of Ohio State and watch the game) and the Goodyear blimp was indeed hovering over it just 20 miles from the airport.
A different blimp photo — can you see it?
OK, that one was easy. Doug Maier and Kerri Burnett’s Mesa glowing orb isn’t. Will the FAA and military officials ignore this one too? Will any other witnesses come forward with more videos? Remember what Doug said:
Since the moon doesn’t have an atmosphere, they ask the way the flag fluttered. Earth is nowhere to be viewed. Our planet looks like it was intended for life. It was believed that this sort of planet was obligated to explain the orbital qualities of the outer planets Uranus and Neptune.
You are going to have to listen to the podcast to find out what the guys have to say. The majority of the videos are debunked by experts. It is not shaky like most. Some video footage implies that the objects move quickly. What earns the video footage even more credible is that there’s footage taken by different folks in various areas of town. The video footage is extremely very clear. It’s astonishing how many UFO movies online appear to really demonstrate these lanterns.
Lake monsters aren’t the only inexplicable phenomena that happen at the lake. In terms of Bigfoot sightings, ape-like creatures are seen all over the united states and Canada. Individuals openly declare to get kidnapped with these aliens on a single occasion or the other after they’ve seen a UFO. Since many individuals now think that the aliens are not anything more than the demons of old, we’ve come full circle.
UFOs aren’t so hampered. Throughout that time period, there were two triangle UFOs sighted in the identical place. You’re able to confirm this sighting at their site. Sightings of UFOs have existed for ages. By way of example, over Midlothian, several sightings are made from January to March. The most frequently known UFO sighting in the USA is called the Roswell UFO sighting of 1947.
Inside my memory, but the vessel exists clearly and sharply. Past the aerodrome there’s the sea. Although the lake is record-breaking and lovely, it’s far more than just the Pearl of Russia. Moreover, it’s the world’s biggest freshwater lake, and it’s also the deepest lake on Earth.
The Fundamentals of Ufo Sightings Revealed
Folks find a means to communicate with each other in different and more direct ways. Something needs to be accomplished. There’s very little doubt that the web has played a part in the development of UFO reports in the last several years, though most can be explained by natural or human-caused phenomena. Somewhere beyond all of the tumult lies the reality. It is, most people are not there yet. For that reason, it IS reality. Due to the remoteness of the area, their existence was considered to be a myth for many decades.
The evidence might have been much more compelling, in the event the very first recorded incident was not revealed as a hoax. Before you make a decision as to what you believe, we implore you to comprehend the evidence. For starters, so many individuals say reflexively that there’s no evidence of an ET presence engaging our planet, when they don’t really know the evidence. There are also a number of witnesses. Then explain someone who died in the incident has a fortune in a financial institution and should you help them get the amount from the bank you will secure a lot of money.
Mysterious Colorado Swarms of Giant Drones Have Officials Baffled
Mysterious Colorado Swarms of Giant Drones Have Officials Baffled
There are many people in Colorado wondering what is flying over there head and Officials in the area are freaked out because they don’t know who it is and nobody is fessing up. There is a health Drone business in Denver with many companies doing work but I think we might have a solution to the mystery of the Giants Drones. Have you heard of Black Swift Technologies?
I found what I believe to be a UFO passing below the shuttle Atlantis while in earths orbit. The photo labels the object as a satellite, but I have found other UFOs in this archive including the Black Knight Satellites which went viral in 2011 and are known by every UFO researcher in the world. I am fairly certain that this too is a UFO that has been mistakenly labeled as a satellite. Now we all heard about the Shuttle Atlantis being followed by several UFOs...I mean they had it on World CNN for 48 hours and said the shuttle landing was delayed till the UFOs were gone and it was clear for landing safely. Well, it looks like one of those UFOs got caught close up in these photos. Scott C. Waring
NASA shock: Astronaut Michael Collins drops a major alien hint in tweet about 'life forms'
NASA shock: Astronaut Michael Collins drops a major alien hint in tweet about 'life forms'
NASA veteran Michael Collins teased the possibility of alien life thriving beyond Earth when he tweeted about encountering alien “life forms” on other planets.
The NASA astronaut was briefly the loneliest man in the universe when he solitarily orbited the Moon during Apollo 11 in 1969. But the US astronaut may have not been so lonely after all, if his suspicions about alien life in deep space come true. In a Twitter exchange with his more than 62,500 followers, Mr Collins spoke about the alien mysteries humans might one day encounter.
“I just hope we never have to make the decisions to leave this Earth. #AskMichaelCollins”
In response to the astronaut’s tweet, Mark Johnstone said: “Finding other signs of life will or should be easier as we don’t have to leave Earth.
“The question of whether we can ever develop the ability to travel the distance to other solar systems is harder to answer.”
Marco Thompson said: “Good question. Through exploration and innovation we will seek habitation that is independent of Earth; mining and other off-world activities are very lucrative.
“However finding life in other places of our universe would be a monumental discovery and would change society.”
Mr Collins replied to the question with a simple “yes”, prompting excited responses from his Twitter followers.
But Mr Collins is no stranger to discussing the possibility of life developing beyond our solar system.
In 1999, the astronaut famously told the New York Daily News: “It seems to me the height of arrogance to say that our little stupid Sun off in one obscure corner of an odd galaxy called the Milky Way should be the only one in the whole universe capable of developing what we sometimes refer to as intelligent life.”
Mr Collins was one of the three astronauts who flew to the Moon on the monumental Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.
On July 20 that year, his colleagues Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin attempted the first manned lunar landing.
As the Command Module Pilot for the mission, the astronaut remained in lunar orbit where he awaited the safe return of his fellow astronauts.
Do you remember the Apollo 11 Moon landing on July 20, 1969?
The Command Module Pilots served a critical role in the Apollo programme, acting as a lifeboat and ticket back home for the two astronauts who walked on the Moon.
Before Apollo 11, Mr Collins flew in NASA’s Gemini programme, during Gemini 10.
Together with astronaut John Young, he successfully performed an orbital rendezvous with another spacecraft in Earth orbit.
Mr Collins would later go on to say Gemini 10 taught him to be comfortable “many miles above Earth”, how to ration his energy and how to appreciate his crewmates.
Quick facts about astronaut Michael Collins:
Michael Collins was selected for NASA’s astronaut corps 1963 and served on Gemini 10 and Apollo 11.
The Apollo astronaut served as the director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air & Space Museum from 1971 to 1978.
The astronaut was born in Rome, Italy, on October 31, 1930.
Mr Collins was the only Apollo 11 astronaut who did not land on the Moon.
The astronaut retired from the US Air Force with the rank of major general and left NASA in 1970.
Veteran Astronaut Drops a Hint on Life Forms Beyond Earth in Twitter
Veteran Astronaut Drops a Hint on Life Forms Beyond Earth in Twitter
The presence of alien life outside planet Earth made a buzz on Twitter recently as NASA veteran astronaut Michael Collins took to the social networking service to shed light on the subject.
Collins orbited the Moon during Apollo 11 in 1969 alone, but he may haven’t been so lonely after all if his suspicions about extraterrestrial life in deep space come true. Collins spoke about the ET mysteries humans might one day encounter with his more than 62,500 followers on Twitter.
A fan asked the NASA astronaut if he considers searching alien life beyond Earth or seeking a habitable planet to settle as more important.
In his opinion, Collins said both picks are intertwined with one another. He explained that the two options are all Outward Bound that may reveal life and place. He added that a place to live might be the ultimate and final goal but maybe dependent on the life forms found there.
Collins has been selecting questions to answer that were submitted by his fans on Twitter under the hashtag #Ask MichaelCollins.
Collins is no stranger to talking about the possibility of life developing beyond our solar system. In 1999, the veteran astronaut said that it could be impossible that our Sun is the only one in the entire universe capable of developing intelligent life.
Collins was one of the three astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. On the 20th in the same month and year, his colleagues Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong attempted the first human-crewed lunar landing. He remained in the lunar orbit as the command module pilot for the mission, where he awaited the safe return of his fellows.
UFO-meldpuntEen waarneming van 20 december 2019 in Houwaart (Vlaamse-Brabant). Het bleek om de planeet Venus te gaan.
2019 was een druk jaar voor het Belgisch UFO-meldpunt. Er werden maar liefst 266 waarnemingen gedaan en dat was 46 procent meer dan in 2018, toen er 182 meldingen binnenliepen. Vooral in Oost-Vlaanderen zagen we ze vliegen. Opmerkelijk: Elon Musk zat er voor iets tussen.
De stijging is hoofdzakelijk terug te voeren tot enkele kleine waarnemingsgolven. “Op 25 mei zorgde een groep van 60 satellieten die door het ruimtebedrijf SpaceX (van Elon Musk, red.) in een baan rond de aarde werd gebracht voor 33 meldingen”, klinkt het bij het UFO-Meldpunt. “En ook een tweede lancering in november van 2019 veroorzaakte verwarring.”
Sliert van sterren
De ‘slierten van sterren’ zullen ook in de nabije toekomst nog voor extra ufomeldingen zorgen, zo verwacht het meldpunt. “SpaceX is immers van plan om maar liefst 12.000 (!!) van deze Starlink satellieten rond de aarde te laten vliegen”, klinkt het in het jaarverslag.
Een andere waarnemingspiek was er op 14 september, toen een Ierse weerballon boven Gent explodeerde. “Dat incident was goed voor 37 meldingen in één avond tijd”, aldus het meldpunt. “Dat is een absoluut record voor één dag.” (lees hieronder verder)
Jörg Carstensen/dpaCEO van SpaceX Elon Musk.
Verder bleken veel meldingen vorig jaar uiteindelijk ballonnen (57 meldingen), satellieten, het internationaal ruimtestation ISS (46) of meteoren (29) te zijn. Voor 55 meldingen was er voldoende informatie om tot een conclusie te komen en één melding is nog in onderzoek. Twee meldingen werden niet verklaard: het ging om “een fel oranje draaiend licht dat geprojecteerd leek op de rijbaan” en “een donkere driehoek die over windmolens vloog”.
Chirurg
Een van de interessantste, met fotomateriaal gedocumenteerde waarnemingen die het meldpunt afgelopen jaar ontving, dateert van 10 januari 2019 in Deinze. Als een chirurg rond 7.15 uur samen met zijn vrouw en vier kinderen zijn woning verlaat, ziet het gezin hoog in de lucht een onbeweeglijke lichtgele rechthoek met in het midden een donker kruis en op het snijpunt van de armen een gele bol. De rechthoek is “ongeveer 25% van de volle maan” groot. Na 10 minuten wordt de waarneming gestaakt omdat de kinderen naar school moeten.
Onderzoek van het UFO-meldpunt kon de waarneming niet verklaren. Vermoedelijk ging het om de reflectie van spots (van de nabijgelegen school of een bouwwerf in de buurt) in ijskristallen. (lees hieronder verder)

Het was zes jaar geleden dat er nog eens zo veel meldingen binnenliepen bij het UFO-meldpunt. In 2013 klokte de organisatie af op 267 waarnemingen en ook de twee jaren daarvoor waren er erg bewogen.
Het Franstalige COBEPS (Comité Belge pour l’Etude des Phénomènes Spatiaux) ontving in 2019 ‘maar’ 85 ufomeldingen.

Unsolved Archaeological Mysteries That Will Creep You Out!
Unsolved Archaeological Mysteries That Will Creep You Out!
Strange archaeological discoveries that are still unsolved mysteries to this day. Unexplained artifacts, creepy mummies, ancient mysteries, strange and incredible fossils with unbelievable stories. History can be downright weird and scary!
Secret Space Mysterious Object With Huge Trail of Fire Spotted In The Florida Sky On New Years Day
Secret Space Mysterious Object With Huge Trail of Fire Spotted In The Florida Sky On New Years Day
FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Early risers on New Year’s Day walking along the beach to see the sunrise on the Treasure Coast also saw what appeared to be a mysterious rocket launch.
With no scheduled launches at Cape Canaveral, it is not immediately known what occurred.
Photo taken by John Simard of Fort Pierce seems to show the object going up with a long trail of fire behind it.
Several viewers from Vero Beach to Fort Pierce said they saw the object, which was located east of the shore and out in the Atlantic Ocean.
This story was originally published by Matt Sczesny on WPTV in Palm Beach, Florida.
The six astronauts of Expedition 60 on the International Space Station celebrated 2020 earlier than you might think. Pictured here: (foreground from left) NASA astronauts Jessica Meir, ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano (center) and NASA astronaut Christina Koch (right). Background from left: Russian cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov, Oleg Skripochka and NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan.
The people of Earth weren't the only ones ringing in the year 2020 at midnight. Six explorers in orbit celebrated the new year's arrival - and indeed, a new decade - aboard theInternational Space Station.
"Happy New Year from low Earth orbit!" NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan wrote on Twitter as Earth began the year 2020.
Morgan celebrated 2020's arrival with crewmates Christina Koch and Jessica Meir (both of NASA), European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano, and Russian cosmonauts Oleg Skripochka and Alexander Skvortsov. Parmitano commands the crew, known as Expedition 60.
Celebrating a new year in space is a bit different than ringing in Jan. 1 on Earth. For starters, astronauts orbit the Earth 16 times a day, meaning they see 16 sunrises and sunsets as the circle the planet every hour and a half. Then there's their time zone, which meant the station crew saw 2020's arrival before flight controllers at NASA's Mission Control center in Houston.
"The space station operates on Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT, meaning it will only be 7 pm ET when the orbiting astronauts' clock strikes midnight to ring in the new year," NASA officials said in a Twitter statement.
3, 2, 1... #HappyNewYear! We're usually counting down to liftoff, but today, we're counting down to 2020. The space station operates in Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT, meaning it will only be 7 pm ET when the orbiting astronauts' clock strikes midnight to ring in the new year!
The year 2020 is a major milestone for the International Space Station. In November, the station will celebrate 20 years of continuous operation with a human crew. (The first station crew Expedition 1 arrived in 2000.)
This incredible photo by @Astro_Christina as my #Soyuz headed to @Space_Station in September sums up 2019 – my most extraordinary year yet. #TheJourney was certainly not only my own, I remain in debt to countless individuals on the ground. #HappyNewYear to all on (& off) #Earth!
Meir celebrated the new year on Twitter with a photo of her own launch as seen by Koch in space in September. The image, Meir said, summed up 2019 as her "most extraordinary year yet."
"The journey was certainly not only my own, I remain in dept to countless individuals on the ground," Meir said. "Happy New Year to all on (& off) Earth!"
Archaeological Discoveries Are Occurring Faster Than Ever

Archaeological Discoveries Are Occurring Faster Than Ever
In 1924, a 3-year-old child’s skull found in South Africa forever changed how people think about human origins.
The Taung Child, our first encounter with an ancient group of proto-humans or hominins called australopithecines, was a turning point in the study of human evolution. This discovery shifted the focus of human origins research from Europe and Asia onto Africa, setting the stage for the last century of research on the continent and into its “ Cradles of Humankind.”
Few people back then would’ve been able to predict what scientists know about evolution today, and now the pace of discovery is faster than ever. Even since the turn of the 21st century, human origins textbooks have been rewritten over and over again. Just 20 years ago, no one could have imagined what scientists know two decades later about humanity’s deep past, let alone how much knowledge could be extracted from a thimble of dirt, a scrape of dental plaque or satellites in space.
Human fossils are outgrowing the family tree earliest hominin
In Africa, there are now several fossil candidates for the earliest hominin dated to between 5 and 7 million years ago, when we know humans likely split off from other Great Apes based on differences in our DNA.
Although discovered in the 1990s, publication of the 4.4 million year old skeleton nicknamed “Ardi” in 2009 changed scientists’ views on how hominins began walking.
Anthropologists are realizing that our Homo sapiens ancestors had much more contact with other human species than previously thought. Today, human evolution looks less like Darwin’s tree and more like a muddy, braided stream.
The rise of biomolecular archaeology means new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration among field- and lab-based scientists.
Many recent discoveries have been made possible by the new science of ancient DNA .
Since scientists fully sequenced the first ancient human genome in 2010, data from thousands of individuals have shed new insights on our species’ origins and early history.
One shocking discovery is that although our lineages split up to 800,000 years ago, modern humans and Neanderthals mated a number of times during the last Ice Age. This is why many people today possess some Neanderthal DNA .

Ancient DNA is how researchers first identified the mysterious Denisovans, who interbred with us and Neanderthals. And while most studies are still conducted on bones and teeth, it is now possible to extract ancient DNA from other sources like cave dirt and 6,000-year-old chewing gum .
Genetic methods are also reconstructing individual and family relationships, and connecting ancient individuals to living peoples to end decades long debates.
The applications go far beyond humans. Paleogenomics is yielding surprising discoveries about plants and animals from ancient seeds and skeletons hidden in the backrooms of museums.
Natural history museums hold a wealth of information, some of which can only be tapped through new biomolecular methods. Scientists analyze modern and fossil animal skeletons to ask questions about the past using ancient proteins.

Biomolecules are making the invisible visible
DNA is not the only molecule revolutionizing studies of the past.
Dental calculus – the hardened plaque that your dentist scrapes off your teeth – is particularly informative, revealing everything from who was drinking milk 6,000 years ago to the surprising diversity of plants, some likely medicinal, in Neanderthal diets. Calculus can help scientists understand ancient diseases and how the human gut microbiome has changed over time. Researchers even find cultural clues – bright blue lapis lazuli trapped in a medieval nun’s calculus led historians to reconsider who penned illuminated manuscripts.
Scientists unexpectedly found lazurite pigment in calcified plaque clinging to a 11th- to 12th-century woman’s tooth, challenging the assumption that male monks were the primary makers of medieval manuscripts.
Lipid residues trapped in pottery have revealed the origins of milk consumption in the Sahara and showed that oddly shaped pots found throughout Bronze and Iron Age Europe were ancient baby bottles .
Researchers use collagen-based “barcodes” of different animal species to answer questions ranging from when Asian rats arrived as castaways on Africa-bound ships to what animals were used to produce medieval parchment or even to detect microbes left by a monk’s kiss on a page.
Big data is revealing big patterns
While biomolecules help researchers zoom into microscopic detail, other approaches let them zoom out. Archaeologists have used aerial photography since the 1930s, but widely available satellite imagery now enables researchers to discover new sites and monitor existing ones at risk. Drones flying over sites help investigate how and why they were made and combat looting.
Archaeologists increasingly use technology to understand how sites fit into their environment and to document sites at risk. Here, a drone captured a tell (a mound indicating build-up of ancient settlements) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Originally developed for space applications, scientists now use LIDAR – a remote sensing technique that uses lasers to measure distance – to map 3D surfaces and visualize landscapes here on Earth. As a result, ancient cities are emerging from dense vegetation in places like Mexico, Cambodia and South Africa .
Technologies that can peer underground from the surface, such as Ground Penetrating Radar, are also revolutionizing the field – for example, revealing previously unknown structures at Stonehenge. More and more, archaeologists are able to do their work without even digging a hole.
Geophysical survey methods enable archaeologists to detect buried features without digging large holes, maximizing knowledge while minimizing destruction.

Teams of archaeologists are combining big datasets in new ways to understand large-scale processes. In 2019, over 250 archaeologists pooled their findings to show that humans have altered the planet for thousands of years, for example, with a 2,000-year-old irrigation system in China. This echoes other studies that challenge the idea that the Anthropocene, the current period defined by human influences on the planet, only began in the 20th century.
New connections are raising new possibilities
These advances bring researchers together in exciting new ways. Over 140 new Nazca Lines , ancient images carved into a Peruvian desert, were discovered using artificial intelligence to sift through drone and satellite imagery. With the wealth of high-resolution satellite imagery online, teams are also turning to crowdsourcing to find new archaeological sites.
Although new partnerships among archaeologists and scientific specialists are not always tension-free, there is growing consensus that studying the past means reaching across fields.
The Open Science movement aims to make this work accessible to all. Scientists including archaeologists are sharing data more freely within and beyond the academy. Public archaeology programs, community digs and digital museum collections are becoming common. You can even print your own copy of famous fossils from freely available 3D scans, or an archaeological coloring book in more than 30 languages.
Archaeologists are increasingly reaching out to communities to share their findings, for example at this school presentation in Tanzania.
Efforts to make archaeology and museums more equitable and engage indigenous research partners are gaining momentum as archaeologists consider whose past is being revealed. Telling the human story requires a community of voices to do things right.
Studying the past to change our present
As new methods enable profound insight into humanity’s shared history, a challenge is to ensure that these insights are relevant and beneficial in the present and future.
In a year marked by youth-led climate strikes and heightened awareness of a planet in crisis, it may seem counterproductive to look back in time.
Yet in so doing, archaeologists are providing empirical support for climate change and revealing how ancient peoples coped with challenging environments.
As one example, studies show that while industrial meat production has serious environmental costs, transhumance – a traditional practice of seasonally moving livestock, now recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage – is not only light on the land today, but helped promote biodiversity and healthy landscapes in the past.
Archaeologists today are contributing their methods, data and perspectives toward a vision for a less damaged, more just planet. While it’s difficult to predict exactly what the next century holds in terms of archaeological discoveries, a new focus on “ usable pasts ” points in a positive direction.

Something strange has been happening in Eastern Colorado at night.
Since the week of Christmas, giant drones measuring up to 6 feet across have been spotted in the sky at night, sometimes in swarms as large as 30. The Denver Post first reported these mysterious drone sightings in northeastern Colorado on December 23. Since then, sightings have spanned six counties across Colorado and Nebraska.
Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliott had no answer for where the drones came from or whom they belonged to but did have a rough grasp on their flying habits. "They've been doing a grid search, a grid pattern," he told The Denver Post. "They fly one square and then they fly another square."
The drones, estimated to have 6-foot wingspans, have been flying over Phillips and Yuma counties every night for about the past week, Elliott said Monday. Each night, at least 17 drones appear at about 7 o'clock and disappear at about 10 o'clock, staying 200 to 300 feet in the air.
The Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Army all say the drones do not belong to them. Óscar J.Barroso/Europa Press via Getty Images
The Federal Aviation Administration told The Post it had no idea where the drones came from. Representatives for the Air Force, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the US Army Forces Command all said the drones did not belong to their organizations.
As the airspace where the drones are flying is relatively ungoverned, there are no regulations requiring the drone operators to identify themselves. Elliott, however, said the drones did not appear to be malicious.
The Post spoke with the commercial photographer and drone pilot Vic Moss, who said the drones appeared to be searching or mapping out the area. Moss said drones often flew at night for crop-examination purposes. The drones might also belong to a local Colorado drone company, which could be testing new technologies.
In the meantime, Moss urges residents not to shoot down the drones, as they are highly flammable.
"It becomes a self-generating fire that burns until it burns itself out," he told The Post. "If you shoot a drone down over your house and it lands on your house, you might not have a house in 45 minutes."
NOW WATCH: Watch the Navy's LOCUST launcher fire a swarm of drones
It is unclear who created the giant geoglyph or why, but the large earthen figure has drawn attention to a remote part of South Australia for two decades.
(CNN)- NASA confirms one of the greatest modern art mysteries is still going strong in Australia.
A pilot discovered the mysterious 2.6-mile-long geoglyph of an aboriginal hunter in 1998, etched into the earth, and to this day no one knows how it got there.
The Marree Man gained new life in 2016 when a group from the figure's namesake town of Marree plowed the lines to keep the man from fading due to erosion. Now, NASA is sharing an image taken in June showing the success of their efforts.
So far, the restoration team's belief that their preservation will last longer than the original holds up. They created wind grooves, designed to trap water and encourage the growth of vegetation, according to NASA. They hope that eventually the man will turn green.
Many have tried to discover the origin of the Marree Man.
CNN previously reported that Dick Smith, founder of Dick Smith Electronics and Dick Smith Foods, decided to tackle the mystery in 2016, and for two years his team pored over all the evidence to see what they could find.
He believed it was professionally done, so in 2018 he offered a reward of $5,000 Australian dollars ($3,712) for anyone with information regarding its existence.
No one has come forward, but several believe it was made by an artist living in Alice Springs, though other clues suggest the creator may have been an American.
Where do the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates stand on UFOs? In front of the nearest ET camera, of course! Bada-bing! Sorry, couldn’t help myself. But seriously, what do the people running for president on the Democratic side think about UFOs, the possible existence of extraterrestrials and the disclosure of secret files on those and other related subjects? Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar was recently interviewed by Draymond Steer, a reporter for New Hampshire’s The Conway Daily Sun and someone known for asking politicians those tough UFO questions. Steer asked Klobuchar about the USS Nimitz UFO incident – one of the witnesses was New Hampshire’s own David Fravor. Here’s what she had to say:
“I’ve read some articles about it. And, you know, I think we don’t know enough. I don’t know. I mean, I don’t know what happened, not just with that sighting, but with others. And, I think one of the things a President could do is to look into what’s there; in terms of what does the science say; what does the military say? Here’s the interesting part of that answer, is that some of the stuff is really old, these sightings. So, why can’t you see if you can let some of that out for the public? So, earnest journalists like you, who are trying to get to the bottom of the truth would be able to see it?”
Senator Amy Klobuchar
She explained that a president should be able to figure out what information still needs to be hidden and what can be released, implying that she would be that kind of president. What about the other Democratic candidates? Earlier this year, The Conway Daily Sun asked Andrew Yang and he said:
“I’m very curious about UFOs. I have a feeling they probably do exist.”
No word on whether extraterrestrials from other parts of the universe would qualify for Yang’s $1000-per-month ‘universal’ income. When asked about Bernie Sanders, Steer said, “Bernie had no interest in the UFO question.” However, in a later interview with Joe Rogan, Sanders himself said he’d reveal UFO information if he found it and “Alright, we’ll announce it on the show. How’s that?” Did Bernie flip or is he just flippant?
Many will remember the 2016 campaign when both Hillary Clinton and her campaign manager and former chief-of-staff to her husband, John Podesta, promised to open the X-files if elected. That didn’t happen, and the current president shows no sign of opening them. When asked about the briefing he received on the USS Nimitz UFO incident, President Trump commented:
“I did have one very brief meeting on it. But people are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particularly.”
The other candidates don’t seem to have been asked any UFO questions or, if they have, are avoiding giving an answer. They may remember 2008 when then candidate Dennis Kucinich admitted during a debate that he had once seen a UFO Over the house of actress Shirley MacLaine and that he “felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind.”
“It was an unidentified flying object, OK? It’s, like, it’s unidentified. I saw something. I’m also going to move my campaign office to Roswell, New Mexico, and other one in Exeter, New Hampshire, OK? And also, you have to keep in mind that more – that Jimmy Carter saw a UFO and also that more people in this country have seen UFOs than I think approve of George Bush’s presidency.”
Dennis Kucinich
Kucinich dropped out of the race shortly after and some say his poll numbers plunged because of the comments.
Is this an endorsement of Senator Amy Klobuchar or Andrew Yang because of their UFO beliefs? No. Will any other Democratic candidate give us full disclosure if elected? Partial disclosure? Let’s just say it would be wise to base your voting decision on some other criteria.

The space station operates in Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT, meaning it will only be 7 pm ET when the orbiting astronauts' clock strikes midnight to ring in the new year!
