A gigantic asteroid named Apophis (it’s also been nicknamed the “God of Chaos”) is picking up speed and may end up hitting us in the year 2068. If it does hit, since the asteroid measures more than 1,000 feet in width, the results would be catastrophic as the impact would be equivalent to 880 million tons of TNT.

Asteroid Apophis is composed of rocky materials with a mix of metallic nickel and iron. The fact that it is gaining speed increases the possibility of it hitting the Earth on April 12, 2068. They call this burst of speed the Yarkovsky effect, which is when sunlight heats up the dayside of a rotating asteroid and as it turns, the night side releases the heat which gives it a push through space.

When it was first discovered back in June of 2004 by astronomers Roy Tucker, David Tholen and Fabrizio Bernardi at the Kitt Peak National Observatory in Tucson, Arizona, experts claimed that there was no chance of it hitting us. Ever since its discovery, the asteroid has been studied as it orbits our sun (it completes a full orbit in less than one Earth year) and the new findings do suggest that there is a chance of it hitting us in 48 years.

David Tholen, who is one of the astronomers who first detected the asteroid, explained, “The new observations we obtained with the Subaru telescope earlier this year were good enough to reveal the Yarkovsky acceleration of Apophis, and they show that the asteroid is drifting away from a purely gravitational orbit by about 170 meters per year, which is enough to keep the 2068 impact scenario in play.”

In fact, it has been ranked the third-highest threat on NASA’s Sentry Risk Table, behind asteroid (29075) 1950 DA, and asteroid Bennu. According to the table, Apophis has a 1 in 150,000 chance of hitting us. The first two won’t hit for a long time as asteroid (29075) 1950 DA has a 1 in 8,300 chance of hitting Earth in the year 2880, while Bennu has a 1 in 2,700 probability of impacting us sometime between the years 2175 and 2199.

(Not the asteroid Apophis)

There is a lot more research that needs to be done in regards to Apophis’ orbit to know for sure whether or not it will hit us. Experts have changed their minds on whether or not it will impact us. Back when it was first discovered, they said that an impact was impossible, then there was a 2.7% chance, and now it will pass by us at a distance of just under 20,000 miles from our planet. What is known for sure is that this is the first time that scientists have been able to see and study in advance an asteroid of this gigantic size that may come very close to hitting us.

Researchers have stated that they will “know well before 2068 if there is any chance of an impact”. Let’s hope they’re right. Pictures of the asteroid Apophis can be seen here.

An asteroid named after the God of Chaos is gaining as it travels on a path twoards Earth – and could strike our planet in 48 years. Astronomers confirmed Apophis (circled) has accelerated on its path due to non-uniform radiation, which acts like a tiny thruster

Prior to the discovery, the impact was said to impossible, but the new findings suggest the asteroid has a chance of crashing into Earth on April 12, 2068. An impact would be equivalent to 880 million tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT) exploding all at once. (Pictured are images of the asteroid in 2012)

The asteroid contains nickel and iron and radar images suggest it is elongated with the two lobes, making it look something like a peanut (artist impression). Data estimates that there is a one in 150,000 chance of the asteroid hitting Earth in 48 years

Glowing UFO In Forest In Guadalajara, Mexico Oct 8, 2020, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 8, 2020
Location of sighting: Guadalajara, Mexico

 

The eyewitness and his family was visiting Hue Titan Canyon, a mountain forest in Guadalajara, Mexico. The family noticed a strange shiny object in the trees moving around and changing shape. It looks like an alien sphere that is exploring and analyzing the forest life. Aliens are not just interested in humans, but also care about all things in nature. Knowledge is what they seek. However this one is very close to the people...so I have to ask...who is watching who here?

Glowing Object Over Guatemala On Oct 27, 2020, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 27, 2020

Location of sighting: Guatemala

 

This seems strange, however its explainable. The shine of the craft is because its a white reflective material which makes the object impossible to record it in its true detail. I have found many alien structures on earths moon made of such material and this is how they appear to the NASA cameras too. 

 

Guatemala is near the ocean, which has had a lot of UFO reports over the last decade...but most coming from Cuba and Costa Rica. I believe the UFOs come from underground bases under volcanos in that region.

White Orbs Seen In Sky Over London, England Oct 26, 2020, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Oct 27, 2020
Location of sighting: London, England

 

I have reported similar UFOs this week. Those are cloud orbs. They are dropped off by a mother orb..which is not much bigger, but produces over 100 other similar size orbs. At least thats what I get from past UFO video reports about a decade ago in Japan. Here its London, but I reported the same white orbs over Mexico, Hawaii, Colorado, California and Japan...all this week. So...you see...I have seen these orbs a lot in the last 15 years. And only seen a mother orb three times on video during that time. Rare...but the orbs you see in this video come from a mother orb releasing them one by one in this vicinity.

Studying the End of the World: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Throughout the history of civilization, the concept of the apocalypse has been ever present, in one way or another. The envisioned revelation, the feared end of the world that will herald an age of purification through horrific and chaotic means, has been a part of every major religion and belief throughout the centuries. But one of the most interesting prophecies relates to the famous Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which are described in the Bible’s Book of Revelation.

“…and behold, a black horse…”

Today we’re bringing you this concept in detail. Together we will envision this end of the world, this crumbling of civilizations at the hands of War, Famine, Pestilence, and Disease, and dissect this prophecy and its various interpretations throughout history.

Could there be a speck of truth in this vision? Did the Four Horsemen already thunder across the fields of the earth? Let’s find out.

When Seven Trumpets Shall Sound! The Origins of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

In the New Testament – the second part of the Bible – and in its last book, which is called the Book of Revelation, written by John the Theologian of Patmos, there is a chapter which relates to us the story of a doomsday revelation, of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse which descend on the earth to decimate the population.

Each of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse represent different aspects of the cleansing of the earth, by Russian painter Viktor Vasnetsov.

(Rillke / Public Domain )

The most straightforward and widely agreed interpretation of this chapter is the description of a period in history when a large part of earth’s population would perish through a combination of wars, diseases, and hunger. In the Bible, these hardships are described as horsemen, riding in succession at the behest of Jesus, in the form of the Lamb of God. This title comes from the Bible, John 1:29, when John the Baptist exclaims: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”

The chapter begins by describing a divine scroll, held by God in his right hand, and sealed with seven seals. Their opening, and the subsequent apocalypse, would usher the second coming of Jesus.

Each one of these seven seals represent a different aspect of the apocalypse: the first four relate to the horsemen, the fifth releases the martyr’s cries for the God’s wrath , the sixth ushers a series of cataclysmic natural disasters, while the seventh calls forth the seven angelic trumpeters, who carry seven vials of plagues and divine wrath, which they pour out on the sinful and the wicked. The Lamb of God, being worthy to open the first four seals, does so, and summons forth, one after another, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, setting in motion the ferocious cleansing of the earth.

The White Horseman of the Apocalypse

“And I saw and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”

– Revelation, 6:2

Throughout history, various sources often explained the first rider in various different ways, since his role is the only one not explicitly stated. While most interpreters agreed that the white rider symbolizes disease and pestilence, it wasn’t always the usual claim. There is a widely attested description that places this white horseman as a metaphor for righteousness.

In a world where sin is rampant, a righteous harbinger of justice and righteousness would seem a fitting purifier in an apocalypse. The crown that was “given unto him” could signify the rule of justice above all, or symbolize a truly just leader, if such a one can exist.

But the symbolism of disease and pestilence could still be the most plausible description. The aspect of a conqueror is cognate with the sweeping of a major plague (the Great Plague is a good example) and the crown would symbolize the ultimate rule of death above all else.

The first horseman, the White Rider, of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

But as the time progressed, and by the time of the beginning of the 16th century, many have come to interpret the white rider as the personification of the Second Coming of Christ, or even Christ himself. At the time of the major crisis and the break of Western Christianity with the reforms of Martin Luther, this came as a most logical and accepted explanation.

The white color of the horse and the rider was quickly connected with divine purity and absence of sin, and the bow he carried as the tool of divine punishment. Likewise, the white rider was interpreted as the Holy Spirit – pure and just.

Another popular view is much simpler – the white horseman could just be the personification of mass conquest. The passage, relating to the rider that “went forth conquering, and to conquer” could simply be that – a descent of a prophesied conqueror that will enslave the populace of the earth.

The Red Horseman of the Apocalypse

“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”

– Revelation 6:4

The Red Horseman is widely connected with war. The translations often correlate in the descriptions: the horse is “fiery” red, and the rider bears an upright sword in preparation for battle. The red color is thought to symbolize the fire and blood of warfare, and the rider’s ability to make men kill one another clearly symbolizes constant and global warfare .

The second horseman, the Red Rider, of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

(Batchheizer / Public Domain )

War as an apocalyptic aspect was always present throughout time and is the most straightforward herald of death.

In Matthew, 24:6-7, Christ states: “And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom…” This quote clearly relates to the ever-present aspect of warfare as a symbol of the final revelation.

Another interesting quote could also be adapted to the Red Horseman and warfare as the aspect of evil and the Antichrist:

“From the eternal sea he rises,
creating armies on either shore,
 turning man against his brother,
until man exists no more.”

The red horseman could also signify the sin of hatred and aggression as a contributing factor to the prophesized end of the world. And in a paradoxical turn of events, the Lamb of God releases that same aggression to smite the wicked with fire and sword. The prophecy of constant warfare that is supposed to descend on earth is clearly described with the red rider having divine authority to take peace from the earth .

The Black Horseman of the Apocalypse

“And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”

– Revelation 6:5-6

Another easily interpreted figure, the black horseman was almost always universally described as a personification of Famine. The horse’s black color was widely attributed to negative aspects – mourning, carrion ravens, night, desolation, and bleakness – all of which are aspects of famine as well. The rider is said to carry in his hands a pair of balances.

This is the chosen translation of the original word – the Greek zugón – which generally means a “yoke”, as in a burden and a yoke for oxen. Both description carry negative connotations. The yoke is synonymous with servitude and slavery, and the pair of scales signifies the rationing and measuring of food. This was the common ancient practice of ascribing value to things.

• Why the Christian Idea of Hell no Longer Persuades People to Care for the Poor
• Sacred Calendars and New Years: Cycles of Time and Ages

The third horseman, the Black Rider, of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

(Batchheizer / Public Domain )

The passage states that a single penny (orig. denarius) would be sufficient to acquire only a meager ration of wheat, and even less of barley. This is clearly an ancient view of what a famine would look like, since wheat was a staple of the diet and without it bread was lost.

The final part of the passage states that while the prices of wheat and barley are affected, the ones of oil and wine are not to be changed. This was interpreted in several different ways, and could signify a paradoxical aspect, in which the staple foods are gone, while wine remains – furthering the famine while leaving the luxuries which cannot feed a man.

One popular interpretation states that the black horseman signifies the Imperial, ruling oppression of the lower class. The rich rulers hold the scales and dispense what meager rations they deem sufficient, while the luxuries remain abundant and out of reach for the poor. A growing divide between classes and fellow men could be a perfect aspect of an end time revelation.

The Pale Horseman of the Apocalypse

“And I looked and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”

- Revelation 6:8

The final, fourth horseman serves as a sort of epilogue, a dramatic crescendo that culminates with the most powerful and feared rider – Death itself. In the entire chapter, he is the only rider who was named, and the only one without a weapon – for he himself is a weapon. The rider and the horse are depicted as pallid, bearing the sickly and lifeless color of a corpse, and the ability to extinguish all manner of earthly life through various natural means.

The pale rider contains elements of all preceding ones and could be termed the most significant of the four. In his wake follows hell, the final culmination of all things horrific, seemingly ready to swallow all the wicked that will perish in the apocalypse.

The fourth horseman, Death, of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

(Batchheizer / Public Domain )

The part that states that power was given unto them over the fourth of the earth could be interpreted in various ways. While it could be that all four riders would wreak havoc over a quarter of the planet, it could also signify that each of the four would have a single quarter of the earth.

The passage states that the rider would kill with the beasts of the earth . This could be a hint to the animals and the nature that promptly retake the regions which are depopulated, signifying the ultimate reign of wild nature over the man.

Death Rides a Pale Horse – Apocalypse in Art

The prophecy of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has long been the subject of inspiration for many artists, who chose that influential and critical subject as the source for monumental artworks. Throughout time, many artists portrayed the horsemen in the way they interpreted them, which also provides good insight into the prophecy.

One of the more popular depictions was made in 1887, by the renowned Russian painter Viktor Vasnetsov. His large painting, “Воины Апокалипсиса” , is a colorful and detailed, contemporary depiction of Death, War, Conquest, and Famine. They are given modern attributes and were intended to reflect on the populace of the time.

Some of the earlier, medieval depictions are much more dramatic and almost unsettling, certainly aimed at putting fear into the more doubtful believers. One such depiction was made between 1496 and 1498, by Albrecht Dürer, the renowned artist of the German Renaissance. His dramatic woodcut represents the four horsemen as elderly, ghastly, and emaciated men, whose equally unsettling stallions are trampling the sinful and gluttonous people below.

A similar woodcut was made between 1851 and 1860, by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, a German painter, who portrayed a savage and merciless massacre of sinners by the four riders, all under the watchful eyes of the Lamb of God.

Until Man Exists No More

To date, the story of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse remains as a stark vision of the paradoxical, inherent nature of man. From its earliest forms it served as a warning for the wicked to change their ways, a plea for temperance and peace, for moderation and humility.

Yet we see that in the 21st century, much that was described in the Book of Revelation has come to pass. From countless famines, to plagues and pestilences, to endless wars and decadence – the apocalypse seems to have occurred several times over. Or is it yet to come?

Europe's Philae comet lander made a 2nd touchdown in a spooky spot: 'Skull-Top Ridge'

This image shows the outline of Skull-Top Ridge, the second landing site on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for the Rosetta spacecraft's Philae lander, which set down on Nov. 12, 2014.

(Image: © Images: ESA/Rosetta/MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA; Analysis: O’Rourke et al (2020))

Philae couldn't snag enough sunlight in its final location to recharge its secondary battery, so the lander collected science data for only a few days. Still, the lander's varied observations have helped scientists better understand 67P and comets in general. 

The Rosetta team quickly spotted Philae's first touchdown site in imagery captured by the Rosetta orbiter mothership, which began circling Comet 67P in August 2014. Philae itself was found in September 2016 after an extensive imagery search, but the location of the second touchdown site had remained elusive.

"Philae had left us with one final mystery waiting to be solved," ESA's Laurence O'Rourke, who led the successful hunt for Philae, said in a statement. "It was important to find the touchdown site, because sensors on Philae indicated that it had dug into the surface, most likely exposing the primitive ice hidden underneath, which would give us invaluable access to billions-of-years-old ice."

Touchdown at 'Skull-Top Ridge'

That mystery has now been solved, a new study reports. After analyzing reams of data gathered by the Rosetta orbiter and Philae — especially readings from the lander's magnetometer, which sits at the end of a 19-inch (48 centimeters) boom and registered every impact — a team led by O'Rourke has found the second touchdown site. 

The spot lies just 100 feet (30 meters) from Philae's final resting place, the researchers report in the new study, which was published online today (Oct. 28) in the journal Nature. O'Rourke and his colleagues determined that Philae spent nearly two minutes at the second touchdown site, hitting the surface at least four different times in the process. 

"The shape of the boulders impacted by Philae reminded me of a skull when viewed from above, so I decided to nickname the region 'skull-top ridge' and to continue that theme for other features observed," O'Rourke said. "The right 'eye' of the 'skull face' was made by Philae's top surface compressing the dust while the gap between the boulders is 'skull-top crevice,' where Philae acted like a windmill to pass between them."

These impacts unearthed bright material that the researchers determined to be water ice. The freshly excavated stuff looked quite different than the rest of Comet 67P's surface, which has been weathered by the harsh space environment, team members said.  

And one of the impacts gouged a 10-inch-deep (25 centimeters) dent into a Comet 67P ice boulder — a scar that betrays a very soft body. Indeed, the researchers calculated that 67P's ice-dust interior is "fluffier than froth on a cappuccino, or the foam found in a bubble bath or on top of waves at the seashore," O'Rourke said.

The study team further calculated a porosity of 75% for that wounded boulder, meaning that it's three-quarters empty space. That figure is consistent with the porosity value for Comet 67P in its entirety, which mission team members determined in a previous study.  

Neither Philae nor the Rosetta orbiter is still operational. The lander gave up the ghost early on, and mission team members guided its mothership (by then low on fuel) to a soft, controlled crash on Comet 67P's surface in September 2016. But the new results show that the historic mission, which launched all the way back in March 2004, continues to bear scientific fruit.

"This is a fantastic multi-instrument result that not only fills in the gaps in the story of Philae’s bouncy journey but also informs us about the nature of the comet," Matt Taylor, ESA's Rosetta project scientist, said in the same statement, referring to the new study.

"In particular, understanding the strength of a comet is critical for future lander missions," added Taylor, who was not involved in the newly published research. "That the comet has such a fluffy interior is really valuable information in terms of how to design the landing mechanisms, and also for the mechanical processes that might be needed to retrieve samples."

But designers of comet-sampling missions may be in for a real challenge, planetary scientist Erik Asphaug noted in a "News and Views" piece about the Philae results that was also published today in Nature.

Asphaug pointed out that Philae's planned touchdown site — the locale that hosted its first bounce — was a flat plain. Such regions, while (theoretically) easier to land on, are often covered by many meters of "lag" deposits, dust particles too hefty to be carried off by water vapor and other volatile gases that are boiled off when comets pass close to the sun, Asphaug wrote. 

The plains therefore aren't likely to harbor easily accessible pristine material left over from the solar system's earliest days. Rather, Asphaug wrote, the new results "suggest that the best places to sample comets will not be the flat plains, but along the newly exposed ridges, cliffs and boulder piles, which are more difficult to land on."

Its astronomical value is another reason why we should invest more in space.

 by Tibi Puiu in News, Space

Most asteroids are made of plain rock or ice — but not ’16 Psyche’.

According to recent observations perform using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, the chunky asteroid from the solar system’s main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is mostly made of nickel and iron. This makes it an extremely atypical asteroid and a very valuable one — it’s worth as much as $10,000 quadrillion in raw resources by some estimates, or almost 70,000 times the value of the global economy in 2019.

Billionaires: ‘hold my beer’

Psyche spans 140 miles (225 km) in diameter, making it one of the largest objects in the main asteroid belt. In fact, Psyche is so large it was easily discovered using 19th-century technology in 1852.

The novelty is that now scientists have reported in The Planetary Science Journal the asteroid’s composition.

Scientists previously had some hints that Psyche is a dense, largely metallic object. This assumption has now been confirmed thanks to observations at two specific points in the asteroid’s rotation that offered a view of both sides of Psyche at ultraviolet wavelengths.

For the first time, astronomers have recorded iron oxide ultraviolet absorption bands in any asteroid. This is a clear indication that oxidation is occurring on the surface of the asteroid. Its high density suggests that the oxidated metals are nickel and iron. In fact, the entire asteroid might be the leftover core of a failed planet that never succeeded in forming into one.

“We’ve seen meteorites that are mostly metal, but Psyche could be unique in that it might be an asteroid that is totally made of iron and nickel,” Dr. Tracy Becker, Southwest Research Institute planetary scientist and co-author of the new study, said in a statement. “Earth has a metal core, a mantle and crust. It’s possible that as a Psyche protoplanet was forming, it was struck by another object in our solar system and lost its mantle and crust.”

The oxidation is believed to be caused by the solar wind. This flow of charged particles from the sun’s corona is responsible for the beautiful tails of comets, the formation of auroras in Earth’s atmosphere, and, in this case, the space weathering of Psyche.

Such metal asteroids are extremely rare, which is why Psyche was shortlisted in 2017 for a mission to study it closely using a spacecraft. The mission, which will be operated by NASA, is slated for a 2022 launch on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. The unmanned spacecraft would become the first to visit a body almost entirely made of metal, learning more about the asteroid as well as the solar system.

Since Psyche is believed to be as old as the solar system itself, findings from the mission could enrich our understanding of how planets form. Besides the scientific value of the mission, if you take into account the size of the asteroid and its metal composition, its total economic value could add up to $10,000 quadrillion, or $10 million trillion. That’s quite the incentive to visit the asteroid — provided, of course, we one day develop the technology to mine and retrieve metals from such asteroids.

“To understand what really makes up a planet and to potentially see the inside of a planet is fascinating,” Becker said.

“Once we get to Psyche, we’re really going to understand if that’s the case, even if it doesn’t turn out as we expect … any time there’s a surprise, it’s always exciting,” he added.

Modern graffiti leads scientists to 27,000-year-old cave art in Spain

The Gravettian art culture famous for stone age Venus statues was more widespread than previously thought.

 by Tibi Puiu

 

Spanish researchers reported today the discovery of rock art in a cave system in the Basque Country, in northern Spain. The 27,000-year-old art, which includes engravings of bison and horses, is characteristic of a cultural style common across Europe but which was never before seen in the Iberian Peninsula until now.

In this video, a cave explorer goes around the Aitzbitarte caves in Spain, in which bison engravings discovered in Spanish caves reveal a common art culture existed across Europe over 25,000 years ago.

A clash of two cultures

“Western Europe has the biggest density of Palaeolithic cave art in the world, including the famous Altamira and Lascaux caves. It is especially concentrated in Northern Spain and Southwest France. Despite this, there was a void in what nowadays is the Basque Country. A decade ago, we started several survey projects in order to understand this absence. Consequently, we found more than 20 new [samples of] cave art — that is four times more than we knew before, including the four caves of Aitzbitarte hill,” Diego Garate of the Instituto Internacional de Investigaciones Prehistóricas de Cantabria in Spain told ZME Science.

Garate first performed surveys in the Aitzbitarte cave complex in Basque Country in 2015. Deep inside cave number five, the researchers found that the walls were covered in recent graffiti. Remarkably, next to them were also ancient cave paintings engraved thousands of years ago.

“Suddenly, under an ‘exit’ and an arrow written on the wall, a so some fine tracings that were not so recent. After some minutes I was able to see a bison drawing. This is how we started watching all the walls looking for other engravings,” Garate said.

“Some of them are in dangerous places, even after descending vertical slopes of 15 meters. Paleolithic people were very habituated to the underground landscape. This difficult access to the decorated areas was a real challenge when documenting and studying the artworks,” he added.

Scientists had been exploring the Aitzbitarte caves since the end of the 20th century. So far, they’ve recovered thousands of stone tools and butchered bones, suggesting the caves sheltered hunter-gatherers continuously over the span of ten thousand years.

When compared to other cultures, the Aitzbitarte cave art bears a striking resemblance to the style of the Gravettian cultural complex. An Upper Palaeolithic (Late Old Stone Age) culture, the Gravettian culture succeeded the Aurignacian to dominate much of Europe from around 29,000 BC.

The Gravettian people are famous for the many Venus figurines they created, which are widely distributed across Europe and into Siberia. Another famous prehistoric discovery of this period is represented by hand stencils in Cosquer Cave close to Marseilles, in the south of France.

Back at Aitzbitarte, Spanish researchers described Paleolithic animal engravings drawn in a Gravettian style in which the horns and legs lack proper perspective, and pairs of limbs are consistently depicted as “double Y” figures.

“We have compared these figures with others found in Europe using multivariate statistics and have concluded that their distribution coincides with the dispersion of the most frequent tools in the region about 27,000 years ago. The diffusion of this style largely agrees with finds of Noailles burins and Isturitz points, tools that appeared in the Western Pyrenees between 31,000 and 29,000 years ago and later spread towards southern France and finally reached the Mediterranean, where the most recent figures in this style are found,” Garate told ZME Science.

“These peculiarities differentiate them from other cave art in northern Spain. To give an example, while in Aitzbitarte they were engraving bison with these specific conventions, in the rest of the Cantabrian region they were painting red deer by applying the pigment with their finger-tips, however, certain details are common to different styles, such as the way of representing horses and the absence of perspective in both front and back legs. Therefore, despite the existence of particularities in each region, long-distance cultural exchange networks also existed,” the researcher added.

In the future, Garate plans on exploring other caves in the region. He is sure more forgotten cave art is waiting to be found.

“These are the first remains of human artistic ability and some of them have been named World Heritage by UNESCO. Without a doubt, knowing them helps us understand who we are,” he said.

The findings appeared in the journal PLOS ONE.

The small rogue planet—a free-roaming rock without a star to orbit—was only detectable for 42 minutes as it briefly zoomed in front of a star.

By Maddie Bender

ARTIST'S CONCEPTION OF THE MICROLENSING EVENT

Astronomers have detected a rogue planet hurtling through space without orbiting a sun. This planet, believed to likely be roughly the mass of Mars, is the smallest of its kind discovered to date and could only be observed indirectly with a technique called gravitational microlensing, a technique often used to detect exoplanets.

The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) in Poland first reported the existence of sunless, free-roaming planets in 2011, but this one would be the smallest-ever discovered, emitting a measurable signal for a mere 42 minutes. The discovery was published in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters on Thursda

“This is the shortest microlensing event ever found, so the lowest mass planet ever found by microlensing” said Przemek Mróz, the first author of the paper and a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech. “This is really exciting because it's such a tiny piece of rock.”

Discovering an ordinary exoplanet typically requires observing the star that it orbits, inferring the presence of the planet in the form of changes in the light that the star emits over time. But these free-roaming exoplanets don’t have a nearby light source, so the astronomers used a method underpinned by Einstein’s theory of relativity: gravitational microlensing. 

Planets bend the space-time fabric around them through their gravitational fields. When the Earth, an exoplanet, and a star are in a straight line, the exoplanet between Earth and the star acts like a magnifying glass, making the star appear brighter. The time these three objects stay in a line depends on how massive the exoplanet is, among other factors, so the duration of a signal can be used to estimate the planet’s mass.

Because it’s an exceedingly rare event for these three space objects to line up perfectly, and because OGLE has already observed multiple rogue planets using gravitational microlensing, these types of planets may be as common as stars throughout our galaxy, Mróz said.

OGLE began in 1992 as a project to search for dark matter using microlensing but has transitioned to searching for rogue planets in the past decade, Mróz said. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, though, the OGLE telescope has not been making observations regularly from where it is housed in Chile. So Mróz and his colleagues decided to look through archival data for extremely brief gravitational microlensing signals. 

In July, they found a 42-minute observation from 2016. Next, they compared their observation to data from a Korean telescope that happened to be observing the same part of the galaxy on that night and confirmed the signal wasn’t just a fluke in their instruments. The planet they found was between the mass of Mars and Earth and could not have been orbiting a star within 8 astronomical units—for reference, Saturn is 9.5 astronomical units from our Sun. Ruling out any star in this planet’s orbit for certain would be a challenge, Mróz said, since it would take years of observation for the planet to even make one trip around a star at that distance or greater.

Scientists believe these rogue exoplanets can come into existence through a couple of processes: they may form when clouds of gas collapse inward, or the planets may have been ejected from orbiting a star. In a few billion years, for example, our Sun will have lost mass and its gravitational force will have decreased to the point where Uranus and Neptune will be released from orbit and will drift into outer space.

Mróz said that he and his colleagues are continuing to analyze archival data and to look for even more low-mass rogue planets.

“Generally, the concept of free-floating planets is one I think is interesting—that you have a planet that is wandering through the galaxy without a star,” he said.

“It always strikes me that thanks to using Einstein's theory, we can detect such tiny pieces of rock floating in space. That's really cool.”

UFO Sightings in the United States

Sightings are from MUFON CMS

Arizona Light

Sedona – On October 20, 2 20, my Oculus all sky camera was running all night in hopes of capturing an Orionid Meteor. In the morning as I reviewed my video I noticed this string of 5-6 lights that appeared than vanished. I slowed down this video to 1/8 normal speed and booster contrast a bit and brightened the video and a still from it I made.

Arkansas Lights

Huntsville — On October19,2020,

This video was taken from a game camera on our family hunting   property. Notice the quick change of direction at the very end of the video. The deer in the video moves it’s head upward causing the video to start. I’m presuming the “UFO” did not make noise because the deer did not look up as it flew over.

California Object

 I will not divulge my identity nor my exact location. However, I will let you know this happened in Southern California. On January 20, 2020

I fell asleep while watching TV. I awoke at about 2 AM to the sound of someone talking on TV. It wasn’t very loud and I thought that I should turn off the TV. Then, I noticed something moving out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look and saw a black mass hovering over our table in the kitchen area. It was completely silent. Panic set in. I was petrified at what I saw. I could not breathe nor move; I was frozen in fear. I tried to get out a scream, but couldn’t. I tried and tried then eventually I found myself screaming over and over again. My wife, who was asleep in the other room, ran into the living room. While she was entering the room, I saw the black mass in our kitchen shrink and then disappear completely. Unfortunately, my wife had just missed it.

Note: This is an interesting case and one for the Xfiles. It is certainly a paranormal eve. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Michigan Light as

Brighton — I was looking up at the sky since there are animal traps on my roof to catch the flying squirrels in my attic. The moment I looked up to view the trap, I saw come over my house a completely white object with 2 shapes to it on October16, 2020. O ne end was rectangular, and one end was rounded. The sky was blue with no clouds. This object sped up a little, then slowed down, the sped up a little, then slowed down and then stopped. It then disappeared. The total time span was about 15 seconds. There was absolutely no sound.

New Jersey Object

North Wildwood – On September 30, 2020 my boyfriend were taking a few pictures of the moon over the ocean from our porch. Like we do on many occasions. But we never had the anomalies that we had on this particular night. We are not sure what they are but feel it is worth a look. I am providing the unedited photos and the photos with anomaly circled.

Air National Guard Base – My mother & I went to visit my Mothers Brother, Jack at the Air National Guard Base in New Jersey at night on a weekend in the summer of 1962 or 63, I think! After going outside, we observed a glowing white Orb moving slowly toward the Base & went behind the tower. We waited to see it come out the other side but it didn’t come out of the other side but suddenly, it shot straight up at astonishing speed into the sky, out of sight! I was about 12 or 13 years old at the time but we never reported the sighting because we thought it might be something connected to the Base & who would believe us anyway! But, since watching your show Hanger 1

New York Dark Objects

Ohio Cylinder

Waverly –– October23, 2020,

it was a white cigar shaped object flying in a straight line with no sound no visible appendages.

Oregon Lights

Newberg – On October14, 2020, 6:09 am Newberg Oregon. I took my 2 dogs out to pee. I noticed the stars out; it was still dark outside, cold and clear with some light thin clouds in the sky. I noticed some star constellations, they were very bright. Orisons Belt, then I looked left and saw one of the dippers. Then looked toward the west and saw over 30 stars in a row. A straight line and the line were moving. An example is an open strand of pearls and if you were pulling them in a straight line. They were moving toward 30degrees. There was a cloud I could not see through, a thin cloud. I was not able to see them once they moved behind the cloud. I told my husband in a frantic tone “there are UFO’s in the sky” I ran downstairs to film. I tried videoing the lights, 3-5 times, but it was so dark and they were not showing up. Maybe with good photo editing, they can be seen. Anyway, my husband ran outside and watched as the last 20-30 were heading into the cloud bank. What was really strange (it was all strange) the last light was not at the same distance as all the other lights before it in line. It was “falling behind”. Then it got light out within a few minutes and it was over.

Tennessee Flame

Nolensville – On October18, 2020, me and my family observed a glowing gold object with a flame line top. It looked a bit like the comet hale bop but it was more defined and pencil like in shape. It was glowing/blazing very bright. At first I thought it might be a comet but I couldn’t find anything online about that. We tried to take pictures of it and the cameras on our phones behaved strangely and we couldn’t get a good shot. While we were trying to fix the problem it disappeared right in front of us. It briefly reappeared for a minute a few minutes later and disappeared again. There were some clouds but the object appeared to be in front of the clouds illuminating them. Earlier we had gone for a drive and had a strange experience where it took us an hour and a half to get to Shelbyville from our home and only 45 minutes to get back. We remarked on how time felt strange and how it seemed like it took so much longer to get there. We did not stop either way as it was just a drive. It didn’t make sense for it to be so vastly different as the route was basically the same. My husband made a comet t that perhaps it was aliens. We returned home at 5:00 pm and saw this strange object at 8:00 PM. I did get some crappy photos of it when it appeared again the 2nd time but the color on the photoA does not match what we saw. It was a Brilliant gold color- with an orange cast- very vibrant. The photos makes it appear white and it was not that color.

Texas Lights

Willis – On October 21, 2020, this was a perfect triangle that I have seen over multiple evenings and have hours of video and pictures taken from my iPhone 11 X Pro. This was also seen on one of the nights by three other people that were with me. Two nights with my wife I used a heavy duty flashlight last night, after and it responded in kind by flashing its lights in response to me

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australian Moon Lights

Newcastle — Darren Delaney, Newcastle NSW Australia

 Photos of the moon taken on September 8,,

 Canada Disk

Co roach — On October1, 2020,

A coworker had stopped to take a picture of the drilling rig he was working on, South of Coronach, Sask. at the Westmoreland Coal mine. After he took the picture, he looked at it to check the quality. He noticed the object in the upper right and a second to the left of the derrick. He had shown me the picture in September, after we had a conversation about the possibility of extra terrestrial life. I asked if anyone else saw the picture or the objects, and he told me “No”. I then asked if he had reported it. He told me he didn’t say anything for fear of being ridiculed. He told me that he didn’t see or hear anything in the sky before or after he had taken the picture. I asked if there were any planes or vapor trails in the sky and he said “No”.

France Light

Vannes — I go out on my terrace and raise my head to heaven, I believe hallucinated and immediately call my wife after different. Research, I concluded   the first day everything was in a single file for about fifty objects, but the day after tomorrow rebel but this time objects have random speeds and changing directions on April 25, 2020.

Germany Lights

Idsten — On Saturday evening (approx. 0750 AM) October17, 2020,

I spotted a glowing object flying above our hometown valley from my balcony. I immediately called my wife and daughter to come and see it. We observed the object flying in circles above the valley.
My wife went in to get our spyglasses. Through the spyglass we could very clearly see that the glow came from an object above the clouds. I tried to film the object with my mobile but it was impossible. We informed my mother who lives just a few streets away to see it as well. She came and saw it.
My wife then got our night vision equipment, a spyglass with night vision used for deer stalking. Through this device we could see that there were actually two objects flying in circles. I then placed my mobile phone camera in front of the ocular of the night vision equipment and was actually able to film it. I sent the videos to our elder daughter who lives in Wiesbaden and she told us that she saw three lights hovering over Wiesbaden on her way home from work. She even talked to people in the streets about It.; hence, there must be more witnesses.

UK/England Flashing Light

 Bellevue, Washington (Over Cougar Mountain): September 20, 2020I saw the same thing as posted on your site Sept 11, 2017 over Bellevue/Cougar Mountain on Sep 20 this year. Has this sighting been solved or identified? I have a few photos. See one of them above.

Additional Details Provided by Witness: 

I saw it in person. It made no sound and was moving east. I was standing at around 1,400 feet when I took photos. In photo with tree, lower left is corner of one story house/roof. My wife and I both saw and each took photos. The photos were from mobile phone cameras. I am guessing that the object was 15 feet long. The four “wheel” looking appendages did not pivot or change angle. It remained upright, that is with four “wheels” oriented as they are in photo. The interior of the “wheels” looked silver. It did not produce its own light and just seemed to reflect sunlight. There was no exhaust or discharge of any kind. The “Body” looked mostly red. I am guessing it was traveling at 30 MPH. It did not turn or change direction. There was very slight wind at time. (Clearly it was moving under its own power.) I saw no tow plane or anything else in the sky. The path was over a very densely populated area and just south of I-90 (though would have been visible looking up from that interstate). My first thought was that it was a massive drone or a flying cartoon car (LOL). I still have no idea. I asked friends who work at Amazon in Seattle for any Intel on beta tests for drones or the like, but came up empty.

Note: The witness is referring to the sighting of an erratic moving strange shaped craft in Seattle, WA. The object is very strange and I don’t think it is a balloon or drone. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Driver caught a UFO over Columbus, Ohio TODAY!

This strange unidentified flying object was filmed over Columbus, OH today (29th October 2020). What do you think it is?

Witness report: 

My daughter was moving from franklin County Columbus to Fairfield County Lancaster.As we were traveling 3 very bright large lights caught my eye off on the left side (driver) . The one on the bottom went out and when it re appeared it was on my right side (passenger side. I kept watching for a few minutes because it was just sitting in the sky that’s when I told my daughter to record.the lights. As you can see by the camera and our voices we didn’t know what we were looking at. It traveled from way far in front of us to directly over us in a matter of seconds we couldn’t get the entire bottom of the object because we were in traffic and it passed right over us.we were looking directly under it all you could see were the lights the top was as if it were transparent it was dark but I could see a shape of it.

At one point it looked like a giant drone but with all the lights that was underneath you should of been able to see exactly what it was but you couldn’t. I say drone because I seen something that went straight up into the air it was so dark you really had to be looking directly at it to even see it.
The only shots we got of this this was when it was coming in our direction and it was low in the sky as if it was going to land somewhere behind us in the fields. I wish I could of gotten a better shot of this thing but I showed it to someone who works at the airport and they said those weren’t airplane or helicopter lights. I tried to download it tom my computer to see if I could get a better look at this thing but wasn’t able to maybe someone at your agency could enhance the video to make sense of what we saw.

Bright lights in the sky above Joshua Tree, California 20-Oct-2020

This UFO sighting was published on MUFON’s website today. It shows strange bright lights that were hovering in the sky above Joshua Tree in California on 20th October 2020. Also some strange noise was recorded on video!

Witness report: 

Several hours of lights appearing, multiplying disappearing. These three all come from one 12 minute long video. We were camping in the desert and it was a dark night with a crescent moon. We had just sat down to our dinner at our picnic table, when these lights appeared out in the desert.
Media File 1. We see lights multiply, disappear. We are talking to nearby campers at Belle Campground. They said that they had never seen anything like it. This video is the last in sequence of these three.
Media File 2. Earliest appearance from the same 12 minute long video. 7:22 pm time stamp. You hear the loud buzzing noises on audio. Never heard this before or since on my phone.
Media file 3. Another appearance that happened before #1: showing them appear and disappear.
We were at this spot about one year ago, under the Hunter’s Moon, and looked for lights, but saw nothing unusual.
Dr. Greer had been doing CE5 in Joshua Tree, for several nights previous to our arrival on 10-20-2020. We camped here for several more nights and saw nothing unusual.
Actress Roma Downey posted a video of the lights that night on her Twitter, so she saw them too.

In the hours just after dark on August 8, 1993, a 27 -year-old housewife and mother of three children by the name of Kelly Cahill was driving with her husband between Belgrave and Fountain Gate, in Victoria, Australia, in order to attend a birthday party later that evening for Kelly’s friend’s daughter. At around 7 PM, they were passing the quiet foothills of the Dandenongs mountain range, approaching the outer Melbourne suburban housing estate where the friend lived. Since it was a fairly remote and dark road there were few other cars around, although on this evening Kelly would claim that there was another vehicle down the road behind them with a man and a woman within. It was a quiet, peaceful night, and other than that there wasn’t much to see, and so Kelly sat back watching the evening float by her passenger window. Yet something would come up out of the dark that would snap her awake.

Kelly Cahill

As Kelly looked out over the rural, increasingly mountainous landscape, she allegedly saw a “ring of orange lights” sitting on the ground in a nearby paddock. As she watched this mystery object wondering what it could be they passed by and she told her husband that she had just seen a UFO, but he didn’t seem to really believe her, saying it was probably just a helicopter. They sort of just put it out of their minds and went about going to the friend’s party and having a normal evening before heading back for the drive home. As they did they would both then see what appears to have been the same object Kelly had seen earlier, only this time it was hovering over the road right in front of them. Kelly would later tell UFO researcher Robb Tilley of what happened then:

Anyway, we were driving back down the road in the same stretch. Both of us,just me and my husband . . . we both saw this ring, mind you … . in front of us, hovering above the road. It was just something sitting there. . . . I couldn’t tell what it was. We were at first far away, but as you got closer to it was sort of . . . well, it wasn’t like the orange light in the field. It was a round shape with some sort of glass around, or what looked like windows and lights around the bottom. Because it was dark, you couldn’t really tell at first. But as we got closer and closer, there was no noise or anything. Even my husband’s going. “You’re right! That’s something. That’s very, very strange.” And I swear we saw people in there, and then just as I said to him, “I swear there’s people in there,” it just shot off to the left as fast as it could go. I mean it just disappeared. Within a split second it had gone.

We kept driving and about a kilometer ahead, all of a sudden, there’s this really, really bright light in front of us, and I’ve got my hand up, up above my brow, to look out the window, because it’s that bright, but I can’t see anything. I said to [my husband], “What are you going to do?” He said, “I’m going to keep driving.” From there, that is the last we remembered until . . . I knew I was going to see a UFO, you know, I just knew, because of what we had seen, I’d seen it twice in one night and he had seen it once . . . and the adrenalin is pumping, the heart is thumping, I’m so excited. All of a sudden I’m sitting in the car, and I’m saying to my husband, “What happened?” And he says to me, “I don’t know. We must have gone around a corner or something.

They both felt very strange at this point, as if they had had a blackout, but they weren’t sure quite why they felt this way but it was unshakeable. There was also apparently a “smell like vomit” permeating the vehicle, although there was no sign that either of them had thrown up. They had the very surreal sense that something was not quite right, and that something had happened to them, and as they talked about this it got even stranger still when Kelly saw a tall dark figure pass by along the side of the road that she did not think was human. It was not until they got home that they realized that they were both missing an hour of time, and Kelly noticed an odd triangular mark right above her navel and a scar above that, neither of which she had had before that night.

On top of this, they both experienced inexplicable headaches, nausea, stomach pain, and severe muscular fatigue over the coming weeks, during which time Kelly began menstruating out of cycle and fell so sick she could barely walk. Her husband would rush her to the hospital, where they were told that she had a womb infection. As all of this was going on, Kelly began to have little fragments of memory come back to her from that lost time, little flickers that floated up from her subconscious like fleeting, half-forgotten dreams. First she remembered going into an intense, blindingly bright light, then there were faint images of shadow figures moving in that light, and then one day when they were driving past the same spot she felt a sudden sense of overwhelming terror and it all came back to her. She would say of this:

On the way home from bingo that night, we went along the same road, and as we passed a certain spot I just got this incredible feeling of terror go through me, I mean absolute terror. All of a sudden I just started remembering, and by the next morning I had remembered just about everything that happened, except there’s still missing time that I can’t. What we had actually done, we had driven into the light, but the road curved, and the light we had thought was in front of us was actually to our right-hand side. It was in the field, and it was massive… the “size of a house” or perhaps close to 5O meters. So it was very big. Why I knew it was very big was because we could have driven for five minutes. The road sort of wound around this part. You could have driven for five minutes and not had it out of your sight the whole time.

She remembered that her and her husband had then stopped the car and gotten out to get a better look at the light. At this point she somehow noticed that there was another car that had stopped down the road, and that three people had stepped out of it. She turned her attention back to the otherworldly craft in front of them, and that’s when she saw a very tall, thin black figure, estimated as about 7 feet tall, and possessing luminous red eyes, which she describes as “burning red, like . . . fluorescent stop lights, I suppose, that sort of real burning red.” The entity was approaching them, and she felt overwhelmed with a cold, gripping terror. She would explain of what happened next:

All of a sudden I started screaming out [to my husbands. . . . Now this has really got me baffled because of the fact that a human being doesn’t know this, so I don’t even know how I came out with this, but I started saying, “They’ve got no souls.” And then I started screaming, “THEY’VE GOT NO SOULS!” Then all of a sudden there were heaps of them in the field, not just one, a whole heap of them, and they started coming towards us . . . faster than a man could run, and they were gliding off the ground. They got halfway across the field. They split up. Some of them went towards the other people [two or three, Kelly thought]. and some of them [the rest] came towards us. Kelly found herself screaming to the other people down the road, “They’re evil! They’re going to kill us!” I was hysterically terrified. . . . I had never felt terror like that. Not even in my worst nightmares had I experienced terror like that. The next thing I know, I felt this oomph! in my stomach, right across here like I was winded, but I was thrown right back, and I was on my back on the ground. I sat up, with my head between my knees. Here, I’m trying to stay conscious. I couldn’t see. My eyes. . . . It was all black.

She says that during this encounter she was only vaguely aware of her husband nearby, who was mostly silent, and that the creatures kept sending telepathic messages into her mind assuring her that they meant her no harm. Despite these insistent assurances, she felt with every fiber of her being that they were actually all evil somehow, and she says she suddenly felt a surge of anger overcome and usurp the uncontrollable fear that had paralyzed her. She remembers shouting at the beings to go away and cursing and threatening them, and the next thing she remembers is being back in her car, any other memories just a whirlwind of shards and pieces. In the coming weeks she would have extremely vivid dreams of being she had seen, as well as of being within their ship and speaking with them. She would say of one of these “dreamings” as she calls them as follows:

When after I did remember it, I had another dream, and these dreams seemed very physical. I know I’m dreaming, and I’ve got to wake up out of them. . . . In this particular one, I felt as if my legs were being pulled off the bed, and it was like I was paralyzed from my waist down, and my legs were being pulled over to the side; yet I could almost use the top of my body. Then I’m grabbing a pillow, trying to hit my husband, to wake him up. . . . I’m fighting this. I’m not going to let this thing drag me off the bed by my legs. Then I woke up and saw it standing there again! This time the hood covered the eyes, and it didn’t scare me. . . . I was still terrified, but it didn’t scare me quite as much, because each time it scared me, it was that same power like I felt out in the field that night.

During all of this, her husband remained unable to remember anything of what had happened, and it was all very bizarre to say the least. Kelly would contact Sydney-based researcher Bill Chalker, of the UFO Investigation Centre, who would launch a full, in-depth investigation into the events along with a group called Phenomena Research Australia [PRA]. They were not only able to track down other witnesses in two other cars who had passed that night and seen the UFO at the time as well, but also locate the three people described by Cahill who had also been approached by the strange entities on that fateful evening, who all also just so happened to have triangular marks on their bodies very similar to the one Kelly had. In addition to this, upon investigating the site of the UFO landing, Chalker and his team claimed that they had managed to find various physical evidence such as chemical and magnetic anomalies, as well as unusual radiation and magnetic readings and strange marks in the field that could not be explained.

In the meantime, the whole bizarre tale had hit the news, and Kelly Cahill would become a bit of a celebrity, appearing on TV shows, at UFO conferences, and writing a book about it all in 1997 called Encounter: The True Story. She would add other details to her account over the years, claiming that she had been menaced by an unmarked black helicopter, and to have forged a telepathic link with the aliens, who warned that they planned to invade Earth. Although her story may sound fantastical and almost absurd to some, she has long been seen as a rather reliable witness, as she no history of mental illness, no reason to lie, no prior connection to the UFO field, and was largely praised by neighbors and family as being an honest, sincere woman. Indeed, this perceived reliability, as well as the corroborating reports and the physical evidence left behind, have made Kelly Cahill’s case very significant in the UFO field, with Bill Chalker saying of this:

Here we have a striking situation. Two groups of persons unknown to each other have witnessed the same UFO encounter and entities. They also experienced missing time, and each group has been available to competent investigators. Independent witnesses have provided information which enable cross-checking and correlations to reveal a remarkable amount of similar information. The result is a compelling case for the reality of the strange events described. The ontological status of the events is further strengthened by a range of apparently related physical traces, including ground traces, a magnetic anomaly, and effects on some of the witnesses.

Indeed, the case of Kelly Cahill has become one of the most intriguing and baffling UFO cases Australia has ever seen, yet it remains a frustrating nut to crack. The main problem is that, although Phenomena Research Australia claims to have compiled a detailed report on all of the data and information pertaining to the case, this report has never been released to the public and remains under wraps. The names of the supposed other witnesses have also never been revealed, and they have never been interviewed by independent, mainstream sources. Indeed, even the name Kelly Cahill is a pseudonym, and so there is a thick cloud of mystery obscuring the real truth. In the end, we may never know exactly what happened out there on that lonely road, and it remains a strange mystery that will perhaps always elude us, as well as one of the most bizarre alien abduction accounts Australia has ever seen.
