Almost a quarter of a billion years ago in the state of Nevada, a massive sea monster inhabited the area. Named Cymbospondylus youngorum, the huge fossil of this new ichthyosaur species was found back in 1998 in rocks from the Augusta Mountains.

However, it took until 2015 and with help from a helicopter for all of the fossils to be removed from the site. The remains were then brought to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County where experts have since been studying them.

Their detailed analysis revealed that the creature was massive with a skull that measured 6.5 feet in length (2 meters), meaning that the entire body of the Cymbospondylus youngorum would have been more than 55 feet long (17 meters) and weighed about 45 tons. In an email to Live Science, Lars Schmitz, who is an associate professor of biology at Scripps College in Claremont, California, described the species, “Imagine a sea-dragon-like animal: streamlined body, quite long, with limbs modified to fins, and a long tail.”

It lived about 247 million years ago during the Triassic Period. It would have occupied the Panthalassic Ocean off the western coast of what is now North America when the land was the supercontinent of Pangaea. It is believed that the Cymbospondylus youngorum would have feasted on ichthyosaurs that were smaller than itself, as well as fish and perhaps squid.

In a time span of about 2.5 million years, ichthyosaurs grew to massive lengths. Interestingly, it took almost 55 million years for whales to reach their sizes – the same size that it took ichthyosaurs just 1% of their 150-million-year history to achieve.

Schmitz explained this further, “We have discovered that ichthyosaurs evolved gigantism much faster than whales, in a time where the world was recovering from devastating extinction [at the end of the Permian Period].” “It is a nice glimmer of hope and a sign of the resilience of life — if environmental conditions are right, evolution can happen very fast, and life can bounce back.”

An ichthyosaur but not the Cymbospondylus youngorum.

As for why ichthyosaurs grew to such massive sizes in such a short time period, it may be partly caused by feasting on large amounts of marine mollusks called ammonoids and eel-like jawless conodonts that grew in population numbers after the mass extinction event. Two studies in relation to the Cymbospondylus youngorum have been published in the journal Science – they can be read here and here.

Meet Ameca, the world’s most advanced humanoid robot. Created and designed by Cornish robotics company Engineered Arts, Ameca is hyper-realistic with fluid movement and a face that could almost pass for human. 

While Ameca can’t dance as well as a Boston Dynamics robot or parkour like the Caltech bipeds, the leap forward in realistic facial animation is equal parts magnificent and terrifying. The robot has been called the ‘future face of robotics’ and ‘the perfect humanoid robot platform for human-robot interaction.’ 

A video provided by the engineers shows the robot defends itself by grabbing a researcher's hand as it enters it's 'personal space'. According to the developers, even they were ‘freaked out’ by the machine’s behavior.

Engineered art also revealed a video of an extremely realistic Adran robot head with eerily human-like facial expressions and movements.

   

 

Humanoid robots are becoming reality, but what happens when these robots walk on the street or do security checks, for example at airports or if AI acts as a AI 'prosecutor' that can press its own charges, developed by Chinese scientists.

The 'AI prosecutor' can evaluate the strength of evidence, conditions for an arrest and how dangerous a suspect is considered to be to the public. 

Researchers in China said that this machine can charge people with crimes using artificial intelligence. The "AI prosecutor" can file a charge with more than 97 per cent accuracy based on a verbal description of the case, according to the researchers. 

Our fate will be in the hands of robots in the near future.

Mummy found in desert bewlidered scientists

( Image: Sirius Disclosure)

When the creature's bones were examined they were thought to be aged between six and eight years old. Its strange shaped skull, slanted eye sockets and ten ribs have bewildered scientists

A tiny mummy found in the desert has left scientists questioning its origins.

Nicknamed "Ata", the strange remains were discovered in the Atacama Desert in 2003.

When the creature's bones were examined they were thought to be aged between six and eight years old.

The skeleton's strange pointy shaped skull, slanted eye sockets and ten ribs have left many scientists bewildered..

Oscar Muño found the tiny remains in an abandoned church in La Noria, Chile

A leather pouch was found wrapped in a white cloth tied with a purple ribbon, but nothing suggested what it was.

This has led to speculation by ufologists convinced it is proof aliens exist.

The miniature body has 10 ribs rather than 12, which has also sparked speculation about where it was from.

UFO believers descended on the abandoned mining town where it was discovered.

A documentary called Sirius, wildly speculated it could belong to a tribe of alien visitors.

It was first thought to be ancient, but analysis in 2012 proved the tiny skeleton was actually from the 1970s.

Official records found no evidence of who the tiny mummy may have been but further tests found 8% of its DNA was not human.

Scientists claimed to have debunked alien theories in 2008 after tests at Stanford University, San Francisco and the University of California found the body died 40 years ago.

They said the female had several genetic conditions which stunted her growth including dwarfism and bone abnormalities.

They discovered the skeleton is believed to be a premature baby who died just after birth.

Garry Nolan, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine, reckons the research will benefit parents and provide clues for those with bone growth issues.

Dr Nolan analysed her case in 2012 after a friend said he might have found an alien.

He then told the Times : "This research clarifies what has been a very public and sensationalised story for a long time, and it was done out of a desire to bring some humanity to this discussion and dignity to the skeleton.

“The DNA and images come from remains that were not known to be human when the research began.

Scientists analysed the skeleton 

( Image: Sirius Disclosure)

"It has long been known that this skeleton was privately held in Spain, without any allegations of criminal conduct as to how it was acquired."

But writing in the online magazine Etilmercurio, Cristina Dorador, from the University of Antofagasta, asked Chilean government to condemn the research.

She said: "We do not know how a little girl came to be buried next to the church in the abandoned town.

"We do not know if she was born alive, but we do know she was treated with care and love in her last moments, being carefully covered in a white cloth and a violet ribbon.

"From the presumed timeline of her death, it is likely that her mother probably is still alive. Given the amount of interest about the case in the media,

"It is also possible that the family has been forced to relive events from 40 years ago.

"But what is the fate of the girl of La Noria? A dark drawer in some place in Europe."

Mummy of Amenhotep I is 'digitally unwrapped' for the first time: CT scans reveal the Egyptian Pharaoh was some 35 years old, 5'7" and circumcised when he died 3,000 years ago

• Amenhotep I ruled Egypt from around 1525 to 1504 BCE, during the 18th dynasty

• He was later unwrapped and carefully restored by priests in the 11th century BCE

• Modern Egyptologists have never dared open him, as he is so well-preserved

By IAN RANDALL FOR MAILONLINE

In what is less of a Christmas present and more of a macabre past, the mummified remains of the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep I have been digitally 'unwrapped'.

Amenhotep I — the second ruler of Egypt's 18th Dynasty — is thought to have died around 1506–1504 BCE, at which point he was painstakingly preserved.

Unlike all the other royal mummies unearthed in the 19th and 20th centuries, that of Amenhotep I has never been unwrapped by modern Egyptologists.

This is not in fear of a curse, but because the specimen is so beautifully preserved — decorated with floral garlands and an exquisite facemask inset with precious stones 

University of Cairo-led experts, however, were able to use computed tomography (CT) scans to create 3D reconstructions of the man underneath the bandages. 

They found that the beloved pharaoh was 35 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall and circumcised when he died some three millennia ago.

This is not the first time Amenhotep I has been 'opened', however — he was actually  unwrapped, restored and reburied in the 11th century BCE by 21st dynasty priests.

They reburied him at Deir el-Bahari in southern Egypt, where he was discovered along with a number of other restored royal mummies in 1881.

This is not the first time Amenhotep I has been 'opened', however — he was physically unwrapped, restored and reburied in the 11th century BCE by 21st dynasty priests. They reburied him at Deir el-Bahari in southern Egypt, where he was discovered along with a number of other restored royal mummies in 1881.

'The fact that Amenhotep I's mummy had never been unwrapped in modern times gave us a unique opportunity,' explained paper author and radiologist Sahar Saleem of Cairo University and the Egyptian Mummy Project.

It allowed the team, he added,' not just to study how he had originally been mummified and buried, but also how he had been treated and reburied twice, centuries after his death, by High Priests of Amun.

'By digitally unwrapping of the mummy and "peeling off" its virtual layers — the facemask, the bandages, and the mummy itself — we could study this well-preserved pharaoh in unprecedented detail.

'We show that Amenhotep I was approximately 35 years old when he died. He was approximately 169cm [5'7''] tall, circumcised and had good teeth.'

'Within his wrappings, he wore 30 amulets and a unique golden girdle with gold beads,' Professor Saleem continued.

'Amenhotep I seems to have physically resembled his father — he had a narrow chin, a small narrow nose, curly hair and mildly protruding upper teeth.

'We couldn’t find any wounds or disfigurement due to disease to justify the cause of death, except numerous mutilations post mortem, presumably by grave robbers after his first burial. 

'His entrails had been removed by the first mummifiers, but not his brain or heart.'

Records in the form of hieroglyphic writings have indicated that its was common during the later 21st dynasty for priests to restore and re-bury mummies from earlier dynasties in order to repair the damage done to them by grave robbers.

Professor Saleem and her Egyptologist colleague Zahi Hawass of Antiquities of Egypt, however, had speculated that these 11th century BCE priests had an ulterior motive in opening centuries old mummies — to re-use royal burial equipment.

However, their latest findings seem to counter that hypothesis. 

'We show that — at least for Amenhotep I — the priests of the 21st dynasty lovingly repaired the injuries inflicted by the tomb robbers,' said Professor Saleem.

In fact, the restorers appeared to have returned the mummy 'to its former glory and preserved the magnificent jewellery and amulets in place.'  

'Amenhotep I seems to have physically resembled his father — he had a narrow chin, a small narrow nose, curly hair and mildly protruding upper teeth,' said Professor Saleem. 'We couldn’t find any wounds or disfigurement due to disease to justify the cause of death, except numerous mutilations post mortem, presumably by grave robbers after his first burial'

Pictured: a CT scan of Amenhotep I's lower torso. The team believe that he was originally buried with his arms crossed in front of his body, however it appears that damage by grave robbers has dislocated his right arm and broken two fingers from his left hand. These can be seen inside his abdomen (long arrow), while a pin (short arrow) has been used —presumably by 21sy dynasty restorers — to hold the left arm in its new position

Professor Saleem and Dr Hawass have studied more than 40 royal mummies dating back to ancient Egypt's New Kingdom (16th–11th centuries BCE) as part of an Egyptian Antiquity Ministry Project launched back in 2005.

'CT imaging can be profitably used in anthropological and archaeological studies on mummies, including those from other civilizations, for example Peru,' the duo said.

The full findings of the study were published in the journal Frontiers in Medicine.

With the holidays over, some parents may be reviewing the experience and planning ahead for ways to better hide presents from their inquisitive children. If your kid is a budding archeologist … good luck. The mummified body of Pharaoh Amenhotep I had been hidden for thousands of years in Egypt, then locked up for decades away from those who wished to unwrap it because of its beautiful yet fragile flower garlands and lifelike facemask inset with colorful stones. That changed recently when Egyptian archeologists and scientists used three-dimensional medical CT (computed tomography) scanners to ‘digitally unwrap’ the mummy of Amenhotep I and reveal contents that were better than they ever expected.

“This fact that Amenhotep I’s mummy had never been unwrapped in modern times gave us a unique opportunity: not just to study how he had originally been mummified and buried, but also how he had been treated and reburied twice, centuries after his death, by High Priests of Amun.”

In the press release announcing the scan, whose details were published in Frontiers of Medicine, Dr. Sahar Saleem, professor of radiology at the Faculty of Medicine at Cairo University and radiologist on the Egyptian Mummy Project, first reminds us that Amenhotep I had been unwrapped and rewrapped in the 11th century BCE, possibly because the tomb had been looted by grave robbers. That was 400 years after his reign from 1525 BCE to 1504 BCE. His original tomb was eventually destroyed for renovations to his mortuary temple and has never been positively identified. The mummy was found in 1881 with other reburied royal family members and has been kept safe and unwrapped ever since.

“We show that Amenhotep I was approximately 35 years old when he died. He was approximately 169cm tall, circumcised, and had good teeth. Within his wrappings, he wore 30 amulets and a unique golden girdle with gold beads.”

They could see he had been circumcised! That’s a tribute to the priests who performed the mummification, those who did the restoration, and the power of modern CT scanning. Saleem says Amenhotep I physically resembled his father, Ahmose I – bearing his narrow chin and nose, curly hair and protruding upper teeth. The scan showed post-mortem mutilations possibly made by the grave robbers but no cause of death at age 35. The scan showed him buried with 30 amulets and a unique golden girdle with gold beads befitting his status in death as a god. The fact that the priests who reburied Amenhotep I with his jewels in place was both a tribute to his status and a tribute to the priests, who many archeologists thought had repurposed such burial items for other later leaders.

Are your packages safe from budding young Egyptologists? Dr. Saleem doesn’t think so.

“We show that CT imaging can be profitably used in anthropological and archeological studies on mummies, including those from other civilizations, for example Peru.”

Air Force bases have always attracted odd stories and conspiracies to them, and this seems to be true across the globe. MoD Boscombe Down is an air base on the outskirts of the town of Amesbury in Wiltshire, England, and the home of a military aircraft testing site owned by the MOD, the Ministry of Defence. Built in 1917, it was used by the British Aircraft and Armament Evaluation Establishment (AAEE) from 1939, and is currently operated by operated by a private military contractor called QinetiQ, which was created as part of the breakup of the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) in 2001. It has always been heavily involved in flight testing and weapons development, and like many other bases of its kind, it has had its fair share of conspiracies swirling about it, and although its official capacity is evaluating aircraft used by the British Armed Forces, there have long been rumors of dark secret projects and UFOs, making it often referred to as “Britain’s Area 51.”

One of the many weird tales surrounding the base began on September 22, 1994, when numerous locals of the area reported hearing a very anomalous sound “like a freight train or a low-frequency rumbling or humming.” Although the base had many aircraft coming and going all the time, this sound was unlike anything anyone had ever heard before, strange enough to get people talking. All inquiries to the base were met with silence, and as far as the RAF was concerned, nothing strange had happened at all. Then, on September 26th 1994, something truly odd went down at Boscombe Down. On this evening an unknown aircraft malfunction occurred on Runway 23, either a crash or flight abortion, and the runway was immediately shut down and swiftly descended upon by military personnel. In addition, the main highway, the A303, that runs into Boscombe Down, was also completely closed off. Eyewitnesses would claim that the mysterious aircraft had been promptly covered with by a frame and tarpaulins, as a hive of activity and emergency vehicles swarmed around it. The response was incredibly fast and urgent for just a mere flight malfunction, and witnesses who actually saw the events playing out would say that the covered aircraft was partially visible under its coverings, charcoal grey in color, with an oddly elevated rear section, a canopy that appeared to hinge forward at the front, and inward canting twin fins at its rear section. This was about the best look anyone could get of it before the aircraft was quickly locked within a hangar.

It all had the feel of something very hush hush, which was only made stronger when the next day U.K. special operations forces and two special operations aircraft arrived at the base, described as an Agusta A109 helicopter from the British Army’s 8 Flight AAC, and a Chinook from the RAF’s No. 7 Squadron, which witnesses would claim had seemed be securing the area as activity continued on the runway that looked like some sort of intense cleanup operation. The special operations helicopters tirelessly circled the area for several days as the activity on the ground continued, and in the meantime some other aircraft arrived as well. One of these was a USAF C-12 Huron, used by the DoD for air transport, and another was an unmarked Boeing 707, its origins unknown. What were all of these aircraft up to? Perhaps most unusual of all was a Boeing 737/T-43 which had the distinctive red and white markings of planes operated by the private contractor EG&G, who were most known for carrying out an array of black project clandestine flights for various aerospace companies and the military, as well as for running the planes that carried employees to and from the mysterious Groom Lake facility and Tonopah Test Range Airport, near Las Vegas, Nevada, both of which have plenty of their own conspiracies swirling around them.

Not long after this, a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy transport plane from the United States Air Force, in this case modified in order hold oversized cargo, arrived and allegedly was loaded with an unidentifiable tarpaulin-covered object from within the hangar and supposedly flown off towards the mysterious USAF Plant 42 Airport, known as a cutting-edge military aircraft manufacturing facility for various contractors including Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works and others. It would later be found that this plane had been suddenly diverted to Boscombe from its original flight plan to Ramstein Air Base in Germany. Even after the mysterious cargo was whisked away, Boscombe Down would continue to be frequented by various government aircraft, such as a plane registered with the CIA that arrived under heavy security.

It is clear that something very big went down at Boscombe Down, attracting the attention of the RAF, USAF, the CIA, and who knows who else, but it has never been clear just what that may have been. Researchers Ren Hoek and Marco Van der Welk would investigate the strange incident for two years, culminating in a March 1997 cover story in Air Forces Monthly, but they were never able to get to the bottom of what was really going on. Just about the only thing they could say for sure was that there as “no doubt that an incident did happen on the day in question and it has never been satisfactorily explained by the authorities.” The governments involved have not helped make anything clearer. Both the British Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Defense Department have always denied that the incident occurred, and have claimed that there were no flights of any sort of test aircraft on the night in question. So, what are we dealing with here?

One idea put forward by Hoek and Van der Welk is that this was some sort of very advanced top secret experimental reconnaissance aircraft, according to them most likely what is called the ASTRA (Advanced Stealth Reconnaissance Aircraft), a mysterious theoretical aircraft that has never been confirmed to actually exist but has been rumored for a long time in conspiracy circles. The ASTRA has often been blamed for sightings around the UK of mysterious “black triangle” UFOs that have never been explained, as have other alleged top-secret aircraft being supposedly developed at around the same time. One of these is the Hypersonic Aurora Spy-plane, as well as the so-called TR-3A “Black Manta,” purportedly a subsonic stealthy tactical reconnaissance aircraft. Of course, both the RAF and USAF have denied that any such aircraft have ever existed. Other theories are that the object at Boscombe may have been captured foreign tech or even a crashed UFO.  The site The War Zone has done much in-depth research on the incident, filing various Freedom of Information Act requests and also speaking to author and Nick Cook, who was the aviation editor at Jane’s Defense Weekly at the time and one of the first to break the story, who would say of the incident:

I definitely think something happened. The C-5 definitely came into Boscombe Down. I didn’t talk to the witnesses directly but I read enough witness testimony to say they saw something with a tarpaulin on it on the runway. It had to have been American or have had some American lineage in it in order for the C-5 to have turned up. There were quite a few rumors of joint black programs between the U.S. and the U.K. at the time. There was a lot of the Aurora stuff knocking around at the time but I don’t think it was Aurora. It sounded smaller, tactical, deployable, F-117-like. That sort of size. Certainly, something happened. What it was, I have no idea.

To this day, no one is really sure just what, if anything, went down that Autumn night in 1994 at Boscombe Down. What was that craft that was being so secretly whisked away and hidden? What was the meaning of all of those aircraft from different agencies descending upon the base in the wake of the incident, and just what did that cargo plane carry off? Was this some sort of highly sensitive and experimental aircraft or something else? No one really knows, and the incident at Boscombe Down remains an impenetrable mystery.

A team of astronomers have found at least 70 planets wandering around space without a host star. Located approximately 420 light-years away from us, this cluster of rogue planets is by far the largest group that has ever been discovered.

Since the majority of planets are detected by gravitational tugs on their host stars or by stellar brightness dips by them passing in front of them (this is known as transiting), the fact that so many worlds have been found without a star is absolutely incredible as they are very hard to spot.

In fact, the manner in which rogue planets are normally found is by a technique known as gravitational microlensing where the planets move in front of stars located in the background. Interestingly, that is not how the astronomers found these new rogue planets. Instead, they studied data and imagery collected over a 20-year period by several ground and space telescopes that include the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, Japan’s Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, the European Space Agency’s Gaia Spacecraft, and the Dark Energy Camera on the 4-meter Victor M. Blanco Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.

(Not any of the planets mentioned in this article.)

According to their study, the astronomers detected infrared energy being produced by 70 to 170 giant gas rogue planets. The exact number is still in question as there are several variables that need to be looked at first, such as the objects that are at least thirteen times larger than Jupiter that are probably not planets and are more than likely brown dwarfs (or “failed stars”). Additionally, they have not calculated the masses of the exoplanets as of yet.

In a statement, Núria Miret-Roig, who is an astronomer at the Laboratoire d’Astrophysique de Bordeaux in France and the University of Vienna in Austria, said, “We did not know how many to expect and are excited to have found so many.” “We measured the tiny motions, the colors and luminosities of tens of millions of sources in a large area of the sky.” “These measurements allowed us to securely identify the faintest objects in this region, the rogue planets.”

And a lot more research needs to be conducted, such as how rogue planets are formed – are they created all alone in space, or were they once part of a solar system but somehow got ejected?

(Not any of the planets mentioned in this article.)

This new discovery seems to suggest that there could possibly be a lot more rogue planets in our Milky Way Galaxy than previously thought and they may even be more common than planets that have host stars. But it’s just a thought for now as that hypothesis has not been proven. A photo of some of the rogue planets can be viewed here.

The study was published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

Planet X & the Book of Enoch Relation Banned From the Bible

In its entirety, The Book of Enoch is made up of five books – The Book of Watchers, Book of Parables, The Astronomical Book, The Dream Visions, and The Epistles of Enoch – containing some 100 chapters. These chapters tell the story of the 7th patriarch in the Book of Genesis – Enoch, the father of Methuselah and grandfather of Noah, the same Noah in the biblical story of Noah’s Ark.

Yet, this was not the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. In fact, the Book of Enoch provides an entirely different recounting of the events leading up to the Great Flood of Noah’s time, that is, a completely different doctrinal history.  It tells a story of the Watchers, explained in biblical terms to be fallen angels, sent to earth to watch over humans at some undefined and ancient point in time. Unfortunately, far from merely watching humans, these Watchers became infatuated by human women, and in short order, began to engage in depraved sexual acts with them. The Book of Enoch tells of the children born through this interbreeding between Watchers and humans, called the Nephilim.

These Nephilim were as described: “giants and savages that endangered and pillaged humanity,” or, said another way, “supernatural, man-eating giants.” Angered with what the Watchers had done, those described as gods chained them in a subterranean prison deep within the earth. Enoch became the go-between gods and imprisoned Watchers.

In reviewing the Roswell, New Mexico “alien” crash of 1947, there’s a contradiction hiding in plain sight for those who believe aliens are fallen angels. During the infamous autopsy film of the two beings who were found at the crash site, it became obvious they were not the dead bodies of humans, but a hybrid of some sort  

Angels have a celestial body and are immortal. Therefore, the Roswell crash victims could not have been angels.  I believe they were not human nor angelic, but a combination of both. An interdimensional hybrid being, which is the result of a breeding program instituted by fallen angels.

Not only do fallen angels continue to mate with human women to this very day.  They’ve been passing their forbidden knowledge to the Luciferian elite, who control this fallen world. In the Book of Enoch it is disclosed the fallen angels educated man in the secrets of the esoteric religion including sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. (Enoch 7:10) They also taught men to make swords, knives, shields, breastplates, the fabrication of mirrors, and the workmanship of bracelets and ornaments, the use of paint, the beautifying of the eyebrows, the use of stones of every valuable and select kind, and all sorts of dyes, and our knowledge of these things caused the world to become altered and corrupted. (Enoch 8:1-2) And they taught men every kind of iniquity upon earth, and disclosed to the world all the secret things which are done in the heavens. (Enoch 9:5) The whole world was corrupted by their knowledge and God pronounced judgment upon those angels for this crime. (Enoch 10:12)

And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; (Jude 1:

The secrets of their origin and future incursion may are also found in the ancient texts of   The Book Of The Secrets Of Enoch, The Book Of Jubilees, The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs and The Book Of Giants.

For seventy generations, the dark angels have been imprisoned in the second heaven of the fourth dimension. And in the Abyss, thirty-six-hundred miles below the surface of the earth, included in their rank are the two-hundred Watcher angels – aka Grigori – who descended on Mount Hermon, putting on a garment of flesh and procreating with female images.

Genesis 6, verse 4, says, “There were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them. The same became mighty men, which were of old, men of renown.”

The Book of Enoch, Chapter 7 says, “It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. And when the angels, the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamored of them, saying to each other, ‘Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children.’”

The Book of Jubilees, Chapter 5 says, “And it came to pass when the children of men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the angels of God saw them on a certain year of this jubilee, that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants.”

The Book of Enoch, Chapter 7, Verse 2 says, “Wherefore have you forsaken the lofty and holy heaven, and have lain with women; have defiled yourselves with the daughters of men; have taken to yourselves wives; have acted like the sons of the earth, and have begotten an impious offspring?”

The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs: Testament of Reuben, Chapter 2, Verses 18-19 says, “For thus they allured the Watchers who were before the flood; for as these continually beheld them, they lusted after them and they conceived the act in their mind; for they changed themselves into the shape of men, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands. And the women lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watcher appeared to them as reaching even unto the heaven.”

Ezekiel 23:20 says, “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emissions was like that of horses.”

Moses, Enoch, Ruben and Ezekiel each describe a giant race of satanically-inspired hybrids known as the Nephilim: half-dark angel, half-human. They were created for the singular purpose of corrupting the DNA genome code of humans and preventing a future offer of redemption from God.

Before the fall, Adam and Eve reflected the Ancient of Day’s perfect triple-helix DNA genome code, wearing their spirits externally and bodies internally. After their expulsion from Eden, both were downgraded to a perishable double-helix DNA genome code, displaying their bodies externally and their spirits internally.

The Testaments of The Twelve Patriarchs: The Testament of Naphtali, Chapter 1, Verse 27 says, “In like manner the Watchers also changed the order of nature, whom the Lord cursed at the flood, on whose account He made the earth without inhabitants an fruitless.”

God creates within a framework of three. When Adam and Eve fell, their systemic triple-helix DNA code transmuted from three strands into two. One whole comprised of three became two-thirds of one… or sixty-six-point-six percent of one…… Six, Six, Six. The number of an image. It’s the third strand of DNA code that enables images to telepathically communicate with The Demiurge and trans-relocate into the ten dimensions or heavens without the obstacle of time and space.

Every human contains a scroll of DNA determining their physicality, intellect and emotions. Forty-six chromosomes from the father and mother form one individual set containing a double helix DNA genome code. This physical testimony and record of the parents’ lives has been passed down and preserved since the deluge. Prior to the flood, the Ancient of Days initiated the DNA destruction of the Nephilim by turning them against each other through mutual slaughter.

The Book of Enoch, Chapter 10, Verse 13 says, “To Gabriel also the Lord said, ‘Go to the biters, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication and destroy the children of fornication, the offspring of the watchers, from among men. Bring them forth, and excite them on against another. Let them perish by mutual slaughter; for the length of days shall not be theirs.’” The Ancient of Days then forced the Watchers to observe the slaughter of their progeny, the Nephilim.

The Book of Enoch, Chapter 12, Verses 5-7 says, “Then the Lord said to me, Enoch, scribe of righteousness, ‘Go tell the watchers of heaven, who have deserted the lofty sky, and their holy everlasting station, who have been polluted with women and have done as the sons of men do, by taking to themselves wives, and who have been greatly corrupted on the earth; That on the earth they shall never obtain peace and remission of sin. For they shall not rejoice in their offspring; they shall behold the slaughter of their beloved; shall lament for the destruction of their sons; and shall petition for ever; but shall not obtain mercy and peace.’” These satanically-inspired hybrids consumed all vegetation, animals, images, and finally each other.

The Book of Enoch, Chapter 7, Verse 2-5 says, “The women became pregnant and gave birth to giants, four-hundred and fifty feet tall. They ate the labors of men. As they were unable to supply them, the giants grew bold against them and devoured the men. They began to sin against birds, animals, reptiles and fish, and to eat the flesh of each other. And they drank the blood.”

The Book of Giants 1Q23 Frag 1&6 says, “Two-hundred donkeys, two-hundred asses, two hundred rams of the flock, two-hundred goats, two-hundred beasts of the field from every animal., from every bird were selected for miscegeneration (interbreeding).

The Book of Giants 4Q531 Frag. 2 says, “they defiled…they begot giants and monsters…they begot, and, behold, all the earth was corrupted…”

The Book of Jubilees, Chapter 5, Verse 2 says, “And lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike man and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walketh on the earth- all of them corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every imagination of the thoughts of all men (was) thus evil continually.”

Engaging in beastiality, the Nephilim produced multiple varieties of chimeras and monsters. The satyr, griffin and faun were not fictional mutants of Greek mythology, but actual historical abominations. Tales of the Titans in Sumerian, Egyptian, and Roman civilizations are further evidence of the Nephilim’s incursion before and after the deluge.

The Nephilim maintained their power by human blood sacrifices, becoming the first DNA genome code carriers of Black Goo Programmable Matter, the sentient agent of infection found in the bowels of the Abyss, and contained within the apple that transmuted Adam and Eve from incorruptible to corruptible.

Goliath was allegedly thirteen feet tall. Can you expect me to believe that the pre-flood giants were four-hundred and fifty feet tall? . Consider the red kangaroo. Weighing only three-one-hundredths of an ounce at birth, it grows to an adult weight of one-hundred and eighty pounds, an increase of ninety-six thousand times its birth weight. In a similar fashion, the weight of a Nephilim is comparable to an infant.

However, it was the corrupted seed of the Watcher angel that precipitated the exponential growth after birth. Nephilim are eternal beings. Although their mortal bodies died in the flood, the disembodied spirits exist today as fierce, terrestrial spirits known as demons, whose purpose is to torment and destroy.

The Book of Enoch, Chapter 15, Verses 8-10 says, “Now the giants, who have been called upon earth evil spirits, shall proceed from their flesh, because they were created from above; from the holy watchers was their beginning and primary foundation. Evil spirits shall they be upon earth, and the spirits of the wicked shall they be called. The habitation of the spirits of heaven shall be in heaven; but upon earth shall be the habitation of terrestrial spirits, who are born on earth. The spirits of the giants shall be like clouds, which shall oppress, corrupt, fall, contend, and bruise upon earth. They shall cause lamentation. No food shall they eat; and they shall be thirsty; they shall be concealed, and shall not rise up against the sons of men, and against women; for they come forth during the days of slaughter and destruction.”

Without hope, demons feed off the generational destruction of images and animals. Whether cast out or forced to leave after the death of its victim, demons will continue to seek another host. My minions are restricted to two locations: the third dimension of the first heaven, and Hell, which is thirty-six hundred miles below the surface of my flat earth.

Luke Chapter 11, Verse 24 says, “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then is says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’”

Pre-flood vegetation was abnormally large. During the Antediluvian, pre-deluge age, images lived hundreds of years. Multiply the size of an average redwood tree by five and you’ll have an idea of the landscape from Adam to Noah. Prior to the flood, thousands of forests were packed with giant silicon trees reaching into the clouds. Pre-flood trees were the first organic skyscrapers. Today, the desert rock landscapes are the remains of these giant silicon forests. Before the deluge, millions of Nephilim quarried all of the giant forests with their insatiable appetite.

Finally, when all of the vegetation and animals were depleted, the Nephilim resorted to consuming images and each other. Observing the carnage from the third Heaven, the arc angels submitted their petition to the Ancient of Days. Judgment and the deluge followed. Because their double-helix DNA genome code wasn’t tainted with Black Goo, only Noah and his family were spared from annihilation.

Genesis Chapter 6, Verse 9 says, “Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with The One.”  Perfect in his generations goes a lot deeper. Here is a description of Noah’s birth. Get ready for your theology to be rocked.

The Book of Enoch, Chapter 105, Verses 1-4 & 15-16 says, “After a time, my son Mathusala took a wife for his son Lamech. She became pregnant by him, and brought forth a child, the flesh of which was as white as snow, and red as a rose; the hair of whose head was white like wool, and long; and whose eyes were beautiful. When he opened them, he illuminated all the house, like the sun; the whole house abounded with light. And when he was taken from the hand of the midwife, opening also his mouth, he spoke to the Lord of righteousness. Then Lamech his father was afraid of him; and flying away, came to his own father Mathusala, and said, ‘I have begotten a son, unlike to other children. He is not human, but resembling the offspring of the angels of heaven, is of a different nature from ours, being altogether unlike to us. His eyes are bright as the rays of the sun; his countenance glorious, and he looks not as if he belonged to me, but to the angels.’ ‘This child, which is born to you, shall survive on the earth, and his three sons shall be saved with him. When all mankind who are on the earth shall die, he shall be safe. And his posterity shall beget on the earth giants, not spiritual, but carnal. Upon the earth shall a great punishment be inflicted, and it shall be washed from all corruption. Now therefore inform thy son Lemech that he who is born is his child in truth: and he call his name Noah, for he shall be to you a survivor.’”

Despite an acute awareness of the consequences, the Watcher angels procreated with female images in a corrupted alchemical mix of mortal and immortal.

The Book of Enoch, Chapter 7, Verses 3-7 says, “Then their leader Samyaza said to them, ‘I fear that you may perhaps be indisposed to the performance of this enterprise; and that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime.’ But they answered him and said, ‘We all swear and bind ourselves by mutual execrations that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking.’ Then they swore all together, and all bound themselves by mutual execrations. Their number was two hundred, who descended up ardis, which is the top of mount armon.”

Enoch the scribe communicated the Watchers’ supplication before the Ancient of Days, who rejected their request for grace. The Watchers/Grigori witnessed their Nephilim offspring perish in the flood as they were cast into the great darkness of the second heaven for seventy generations. The end of seventieth generation is upon us.

The Book of the Secrets of Enoch, Chapter 18, Verse 3 says, “And they said to me, ‘These are the Grigori, who with their prince Sananail rejected the Lord of light, and after them are those who are held in great darkness on the second heaven. And three of them went down on to earth from the Lord’s throne to the place Ermon, and broke their vows on the shoulder of the hill Eron and saw the daughters of men how good they are, and took to themselves wives, and befouled the earth with their deeds, who in all times of their age made lawlessness and mixing, and giants are born and marvellous big men and great enmity.’”

The Book of Daniel, Chapter 9, Werse 27 states that the seventieth week is reserved for my rule over the flat earth. “He will make a treaty with the people for a period of one set of seven.” One set of seven is seven years. The Ancient of Days designated four-hundred and ninety years

This Drone Accidentally Found An Abandoned Area & Just Made A Historical Important Discovery via Unexplained Mysteries

This drone accidentally found an abandoned area & just made a historical important discovery. Today, we take a look at what this drone accidentally found while flying above this area.

The world as we know it can change at any moment, not just because we make new inventions or may have a pandemic interrupt our lives, but also because with each new discovery and finding we make, we change just a little bit of what we thought we knew.

Whether that is finding lost cities in archaeological digs, finding explanations for strange phenomena, or answering questions that have long left us puzzled.

Thank you for watching! Thank you to CO.AG for the background music!

Alien Secret Service Agent Revealed At 2013 AIPAC Conference, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Feb 6, 2013

Location of sighting: Conference at Washington Convention Center

Source News video: 

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy2wQCDbbyQ&t=0s

 

Aliens among us. Many of us have heard stories about abductions and even about many species of aliens that live among us. Some look like us with human form, others don't and they must use their technology to disguise themselves as one of us. Most aliens work in influential positions, but some prefer to work in the tech area thinking that it would be the best way to improve humanity...through technology. 

 

Here we see President Obama giving a speech from last year at the Washington Convention Center. As the TV camera pans across the crowd we see several Secret Service agents keeping watch...one of which looks to be an alien that many are calling a reptilian species. 

 

Digital cameras are known to see more than the human eye and can also reach far beyond into other spectrums of light allowing the camera to see the true image. For instance an infrared lens on a Sony camcorder allows you to see invisible orbs or UFOs very clearly in the sky during the day, but you will almost never see these objects with your eyes. Perhaps this is what happened to the alien working as a Secret Service agent for Obama. 

 

It really does make sense. Place an alien close to Obama at all times in order to help protect him and to manipulate his thoughts and actions through telepathy. The US Presidents...may just a puppets. SCW

Two linked UFOs over Irvine, California | 17 December 2021

2 linked lights were filmed over Irvine, California on 17th December 2021.

Witness report: 

Taking a walk at night and saw 2 bright lights pulsing towards the SW. I watched for approx 5 mins and thought they were stationary and did not appear to be commercial, military or private planes or helicopters. I started to film but street light was affecting the view. I moved so the light was behind me. I thought the lights were side by side but they began moving. Very slowly, and never broke formation. I realized they were not side by side, one was in front and one was rear. I had been looking at the lights from a side view. It passed nearly overhead. I did not see a visible body of a craft, no wings, no sound. It was moving slow. The lights never changed proximity to each other. I absolutely think it was one craft. I watched it go over until it was out of view. It was approx 30 mins total. I live close to an Airport and see all types of planes and helicopters from different angles and elevations. I can always hear them and they move faster and are much smaller. I have never see anything like this. I uploaded the videos in chronological order. From seeing the lights in the distance to when it flew over me. I also found a video online of this. It was filmed by someone south of me close to the Mexico border. It was posted the next day. I suspect it may be the same.

Dark Forest Theory Explains Why Aliens Are Hiding From Us

There are about 200 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets in our Milky Way galaxy. Drake’s equation, which takes into account these and other factors, including the likelihood of life on earth and the likelihood of intelligent life, suggests that there are probably about 20 advanced civilizations in our galaxy.

Why have we still not found any traces (at least officially recognized) of these civilizations, despite all our attempts to send them messages and the development of our astronomical science?

The Fermi paradox asks the same question, marveling at the absence of visible traces of the activities of alien civilizations, which should have settled throughout the entire Universe over the billions of years of its development.

There are many theories trying to explain this. Some say that life in general is a very rare phenomenon and that life on Earth developed only as a result of an extremely rare combination of circumstances. Others say that the development of man as an intelligent creature is an anomaly and it is unlikely that this will happen elsewhere, even if there are all conditions for plants and animals.

And then there is the Dark Forest theory, which was developed in the science fiction novel “Dark Forest” by Chinese writer Liu Cixin.

The novel’s plot, the second in the trilogy, revolves around how to interact with potentially hostile alien species.

The novel sets out the following arguments:

• Life, and especially the developed life, carefully wants to survive.
• It is impossible to know in advance if other life forms can destroy you if given the chance.
• In the absence of guarantees of survival, the safest option for any kind of living creatures is to destroy potentially dangerous life forms before they can do the same to them.

Each space civilization seeks to expand infinitely, but the amount of resources in each galaxy is not infinite, so all civilizations capable of interstellar travel become rivals for the same resources.

Thus, each civilization A, having learned about the existence of another sufficiently developed civilization B, cannot be completely sure that it will not become its enemy. It cannot even rely on the technological lag of civilization B, because science and technology are developing exponentially and can overtake those of civilization A.

Therefore, every civilization, the technology of which allows to destroy other civilizations, will destroy all civilizations that it learns about, so as not to become a victim of such an attack itself.

This explains the Fermi paradox – highly developed civilizations simply do their best not to disclose the fact of their existence, because disclosure will inevitably entail an attack on them.

In Liu Cixin’s novel, one of the main characters Luo Ji refers to this as the Dark Forest Theory, using the metaphor of a forest full of hiding hunters attacking any beast that betrays itself.

In order not to betray themselves, the developed space civilization will keep strict radio silence and, probably, their ships will not plow the vastness of the galaxy in search of resources or something else.

They can also try with all possible forces to hide the traces of the existence of their planet. This theory is so logical and plausible that since the release of Liu Cixin’s novel, many scientists have seriously discussed it. And the theory scared them with the knowledge of what we had done.

For almost a hundred years now, we have been sending radio signals into space, indicating the existence of intelligent life on our planet, and all potential alien civilizations that are from us within a radius of 100 light years have received these signals without a doubt. They know about us.

At one time, the late theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking was also very afraid of this and opposed sending any information about earthlings into space.

If we have not yet been attacked, it is only because the civilizations that have learned about us are also afraid of us, not knowing our real level of technical development, and do not want to betray themselves and doom to destruction. But what if our signals reach the predatory conquerors?
