Paleontologists Find Perfectly Preserved Dinosaur Fossils From the Day of the Asteroid Impact
Paleontologists Find Perfectly Preserved Dinosaur Fossils From the Day of the Asteroid Impact

Scientists believe they have been given an extraordinary view of the last day of the dinosaurs after they discovered the fossil of an animal they believe died that day.
An upcoming BBC documentary looks at a slew of fossils found at the Tanis site in North Dakota. It includes the Thescelosaurus leg, seen in a video here, and the skin of a triceratops, pictured above.
The site is rich in well-preserved fossils, including fish, a turtle, and even the embryo of a flying pterosaur encased in an egg.
Scientists believe that tiny glass-like particles of molten rock lodged in the gills of fish fossils found at the site were kicked up by the asteroid's explosive impact, the BBC said.
"We've got so many details with this site that tells us what happened moment by moment. It's almost like watching it play out in the movies," Robert DePalma, a graduate student from the University of Manchester, UK, who leads the Tanis dig, told the BBC.
Prof Phil Manning, DePalma's PhD supervisor at Manchester, told BBC Radio 4's Today program that the discovery was "absolutely bonkers" and something he "never dreamt in all my career."
"The time resolution we can achieve at this site is beyond our wildest dreams. This really should not exist, and it's absolutely gobsmackingly beautiful," Manning said.
A discovery so 'fabulous' it has attracted skepticism
In the BBC documentary, Robert DePalma, a relative of film director Brian De Palma, can be seen sporting an Indiana Jones-style fedora and tan shirt.
He christened the paleontological site "Tanis," the last resting place of the Ark of the Covenant in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, per The New Yorker.
The findings from Tanis, and the work of DePalma, have attracted controversy over the years.
The New Yorker first wrote about the Tanis site in 2019 before presenting the findings in an academic journal.
While paleontologists usually cede their rights and curation of the fossils to institutions, DePalma, who had collected few academic laurels until the discovery of the site, insists on contractual clauses that give him oversight over the specimens. He has controlled how the fossils are presented, per The New Yorker.
In response to the article, Kate Wong, science editor of Scientific American, said in a 2019 tweet that the findings from the site "have met with a good deal of skepticism from the paleontology community."
A few peer-reviewed papers have since been published, and the BBC said that the dig team promises more.
The BBC also said that it has called outside consultants to verify the specimens.
Prof Paul Barrett from London's Natural History Museum looked at the leg and said it was a Thescelosaurus that likely died "more or less instantaneously."
"It's from a group that we didn't have any previous record of what its skin looked like, and it shows very conclusively that these animals were very scaly like lizards. They weren't feathered like their meat-eating contemporaries," Barrett told the BBC.
However, Prof Steve Brusatte, an outside consultant on the documentary from the University of Edinburgh, told the BBC he was skeptical about the dinosaurs' findings for now and would like to see the hypotheses being subjected to the scrutiny of peer review.
"Those fish with the spherules in their gills, they're an absolute calling card for the asteroid. But for some of the other claims – I'd say they have a lot of circumstantial evidence that hasn't yet been presented to the jury," he said.
Prof Brusatte said that it is possible that some of the animals died before the asteroid strike but could have been exhumed and then buried again by the impact.
But ultimately, Brussate said the quality of the fossils trumps the controversy about the event's timing.
"For some of these discoveries, though, does it even matter if they died on the day or years before? The pterosaur egg with a pterosaur baby inside is super-rare; there's nothing else like it from North America. It doesn't all have to be about the asteroid."
Heb jij al spookbeelden gezien tijdens een wandeling?
Al eeuwenlang maken wandelaars over de hele wereld melding van vreemde verschijningen in heuvelachtige gebieden en gebergtes. Maar waar komen die verhalen toch vandaan? Onze wetenschapsjournalist Martijn Peters legt het uit.
Martijn Peters
Beeld je in. Je bent aan het genieten van een frisse ochtendwandeling door de bergen, kijkt even om je heen om al die natuurpracht in je op te nemen en plots zie je een drie meter hoge figuur terugstaren. Maar nog voor je verwonderd in je ogen kan wrijven is hij alweer verdwenen. Dat is wat wandelaars al eeuwenlang overkomt van de Verenigde Staten tot China, waar de onheilspellende verschijningen ‘Dark Watchers’ en ‘Buddha’s light’ worden genoemd.
Maar voor de verklaring van deze duistere toeschouwers moeten we niet verder kijken dan ons eigen Europa. Meer bepaald naar het noorden van Duitsland waar de ‘Brockenberg’ ligt. Daar beschreef Johann Silberschlag in 1780 voor het eerst het ‘Brockengespenst’, oftewel ‘Brockenspook’. Een optisch verschijnsel dat ontstaat wanneer een laagstaande zon jouw schaduw op mist of laaghangende wolken werpt. Dat creëert de illusie voor jouw hersenen dat jouw schaduw zich op dezelfde afstand als verafgelegen objecten bevindt waardoor deze er extra groot en dreigend uitziet. Meestal gaan deze enorme schimmen ook gepaard met een regenboogkleurige aureool rond hun hoofd doordat het zonlicht breekt in de waterdruppels.
Meer hebben onze hersenen niet nodig om een fenomeen genaamd pareidolie in werking te laten treden. Ons brein heeft namelijk behoefte aan het zoeken naar verbanden tussen verschillende elementen, ook als deze er eigenlijk niet zijn. Dit is hetzelfde fenomeen dat ervoor zorgt dat je bijvoorbeeld figuren in de wolken ziet of in dit geval lange in mantels en hoeden gehulde figuren in de schaduwen van heuvel- en bergtoppen.
Je kan deze spookachtige schimmen dus evengoed hier bij ons kan tegenkomen als de omstandigheden goed zijn. Schrik dus niet als je tijdens een zonnige ochtend op een heuveltop staat en je je plots begluurd voelt door een ‘Brockenspook’ in de mist van het dal. Het is (waarschijnlijk) je schaduw. Maar ligt er geen heuvel of berg in de buurt, dan kan je deze zeldzame optische illusie toch nog zelf veroorzaken. Hoe? Ga op een mistige nacht gewoon even voor de koplampen van je auto staan.

New George Knapp - Invisible Tricksters of Cosmic Proportion - Coast to Coast AM 2022
COAST TO COAST AM – April 2022. With over 30 years of researching the paranormal, UFOs and mysteries, Barry Fitzgerald joined George Knapp to discuss the idea of beings we consider angels or devils, gods or demons, actually are two sides of the same coin. Further, he contends the afterlife could be an illusion created by the beings who exist within that realm. A lot of the mysterious phenomena associated with ETs and alien abduction are mirrored in the worlds of spirits, the jinn, old gods, and fairy lore, he pointed out, with the common ground being an air of deception. The grand deception is that there are a variety of supernatural beings and entities with agendas and intentions that range from good to evil, when in reality, there is really just one force, he explained.

Glowing Disk Over Bangkok, Thailand, April 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: April 24, 2022
Location of sighting: Bangkok, Thailand
Credit: Bradley BankDad of Thailand
Bradley BankDad who lives in Thailand recorded an orange disk-like craft moving across the sky this week. The object was huge, about the size of a commercial jet his girlfriend stated. The sky was mostly clear, but the UFO did move toward the few clouds in the sky as if it were trying to escape from being seen. Lucky for us Bradley was quick on his phone to record this fantastic raw footage. The UFO is a classic disk shape and is even tilted to one angle, just as Area 51 scientist Bob Lazar said they travel...tilted in order to move. Undeniable proof that UFOs are active in Asia!
Hello. I and my boyfriend were in front of my house yesterday evening. I saw this in the sky around Wongswang. I want you to help each other to see what it is. Normally, I have seen a star, it is not like this. In the clip, it is my boyfriend's voice. I didn't absorb the clip. ***I looked with my bare eyes, it was flying higher than the clouds, speed and size equal to a commercial plane.
These two photos were caught by Twitter user Bruce Fenton. The photos show a dark sphere near Earths Sun in last months LASCO C2 photos. The object is visible only for a few minutes but its clearly a sphere and is seen in two different locations near the sun over a four day period. I believe this may be the mysterious planetX (Nibiru) that we have all heard about. It may be using the suns energy to power its propulsion systems and internal cities. I say Nibiru because only advanced alien tech could hide a planet size craft so well from humanity.

Date of sighting: April 22, 2022
Location of sighting: ISS Space Station
Source: NASA Live Cams
I was watching the live cams at the space station and noticed this dark orb on the left side of the screen. The orb is only visible for a few minutes, but its flying in front of the space station. This puts the space station in a very strange and dangerous position. If the UFO slows down, it could be hit by the space station. The orb appears metallic and the size of a car. The SpaceX capsule can be seen on camera taking the bottom 50% of the screen, so this means the UFO was not the SpaceX capsule. And the SpaceX capsule appeared unattached to the space station, which means it was leaving the station. The UFO was watching this all taking place. Aliens...they love watching humanity as if we were some reality TV show for their entertainment. 100% proof that aliens visit the space station.

Ufo's bestaan écht en dit is waarom | UITGEZOCHT #14
Boven Nederland zijn de laatste tijd opvallend veel ufo's gespot. Bij elkaar al meer dan 900. Zijn het buitenaardse wezentjes die hier even komen rondneuzen? Of is er een andere verklaring? #uitgezocht#ufo#spacex
VS: geen bewijs dat ufo's van aliens zijn
Er is geen bewijs dat ufo's van buitenaardse wezens zijn. Dat zeggen Amerikaanse experts. Toch kunnen ze niet met zekerheid zeggen dat de vliegende objecten niet toch van aliens zijn. #jeugdjournaal#ufo#aliens
UFO’s: De grootste doofpot aller tijden! Duncan Robles en Anton Teuben
Een doofpot waar weinig over gesproken wordt: Unidentified Flying Objects. Voor deze video is het team van NEXT afgereisd naar het noord Groningse dorpje Winsum. Duncan Robles gaat in deze video in gesprek met Anton Teuben. Anton Teuben is bekend van het oudste UFO-meldpunt van Nederland en bekommert zich al meerdere decennia om dit topic. Door zijn affiniteit met vliegen is hij in contact gekomen met verschillende ervaren piloten, die hem verhalen vertelden over ongeïdentificeerde vliegende objecten. Dit heeft bij Anton een sterke interesse gewekt voor dit bijzondere fenomeen.
Naast UFO’s houdt Anton zich al geruime tijd bezig met de Schumannresonantie. Anton vertelt tijdens het interview dat dit de constante trillingsfrequentie van de aarde is. Deze wordt ook wel de hartslag van onze planeet genoemd. Volgens Anton speelt de Schumannresonantie een onmisbare rol voor al het leven op aarde.
Duncan en Anton blikken vooruit op de toekomst: volgens Anton ziet deze er een stuk positiever uit dan menigeen zich nu voor mogelijk houdt. Wil je weten hoe? Check dan deze aflevering van NEXT.
Ufo’s en buitenaards leven zijn onderwerpen waar meningen sterk over verschillen. En dat is ook niet gek. Er is nog nooit wetenschappelijk bewijs geleverd dat er buitenaards leven is, en zeker niet dat er aliens bestaan. En hoewel wij er ook niet in geloven: de volgende tien gebeurtenissen zullen je flink aan het denken zetten over dit interessante onderwerp!

Is the universe a graveyard? This theory suggests humanity may be alone.
Is the universe a graveyard? This theory suggests humanity may be alone.
Ever since we've had the technology, we've looked to the stars in search of alien life. It's assumed that we're looking because we want to find other life in the universe, but what if we're looking to make sure there isn't any?
According to the Great Filter theory, Earth might be one of the only planets with intelligent life. And that's a good thing
(NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team [STScI/AURA]
Here’s an equation, and a rather distressing one at that: N = R*× fP × ne × f1 × fi × fc × L. It’s the Drake equation, and it describes the number of alien civilizations in our galaxy with whom we might be able to communicate. Its terms correspond to values such as the fraction of stars with planets, the fraction of planets on which life could emerge, the fraction of planets that can support intelligent life, and so on. Using conservative estimates, the minimum result of this equation is 20. There ought to be 20 intelligent alien civilizations in the Milky Way that we can contact and who can contact us. But there aren’t any.
The Drake equation is an example of a broader issue in the scientific community—considering the sheer size of the universe and our knowledge that intelligence life has evolved at least once, there should be evidence for alien life. This is generally referred to as the Fermi paradox, after the physicist Enrico Fermi who first examined the contradiction between high probability of alien civilizations and their apparent absence. Fermi summed this up rather succinctly when he asked, “Where is everybody”?
But maybe this was the wrong question. A better question, albeit a more troubling one, might be “What happened to everybody?” Unlike asking where life exists in the universe, there’s a clearer potential answer to this question: the Great Filter.
Why the universe is empty
The Very Large Array in New Mexico consists of 27 radio dishes designed to capture information from cosmic phenomena, like galactic collisions, the birth of stars, and others. It was also the point of the first contact form the movie “Contact”
(ROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty Images)
Alien life is likely, but there is none that we can see. Therefore, it could be the case that somewhere along the trajectory of life’s development, there is a massive and common challenge that ends alien life before it becomes intelligent enough and widespread enough for us to see—a great filter.
This filter could take many forms. It could be that having a planet in the Goldilocks’ zone—the narrow band around a star where it is neither too hot nor too cold for life to exist—and having that planet contain organic molecules capable of accumulating into life is extremely unlikely. We’ve observed plenty of planets in the Goldilock’s zone of different stars (there’s estimated to be 40 billion in the Milky Way), but maybe the conditions still aren’t right there for life to exist.
The Great Filter could occur at the very earliest stages of life. When you were in high school bio, you might have the refrain drilled into your head “mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.” I certainly did. However, mitochondria were at one point a separate bacteria living its own existence. At some point on Earth, a single-celled organism tried to eat one of these bacteria, except instead of being digested, the bacterium teamed up with the cell, producing extra energy that enabled the cell to develop in ways leading to higher forms of life. An event like this might be so unlikely that it’s only happened once in the Milky Way.
Or, the filter could be the development of large brains, as we have. After all, we live on a planet full of many creatures, and the kind of intelligence humans have has only occurred once. It may be overwhelmingly likely that living creatures on other planets simply don’t need to evolve the energy-demanding neural structures necessary for intelligence.
What if the filter is ahead of us?
These possibilities assume that the Great Filter is behind us—that humanity is a lucky species that overcame a hurdle almost all other life fails to pass. This might not be the case, however; life might evolve to our level all the time but get wiped out by some unknowable catastrophe. Discovering nuclear power is a likely event for any advanced society, but it also has the potential to destroy such a society. Utilizing a planet’s resources to build an advanced civilization also destroys the planet: the current process of climate change serves as an example. Or, it could be something entirely unknown, a major threat that we can’t see and won’t see until it’s too late.
The bleak, counterintuitive suggestion of the Great Filter is that it would be a bad sign for humanity to find alien life, especially alien life with a degree of technological advancement similar to our own. If our galaxy is truly empty and dead, it becomes more likely that we’ve already passed through the Great Filter. The galaxy could be empty because all other life failed some challenge that humanity passed.
If we find another alien civilization, but not a cosmos teeming with a variety of alien civilizations, the implication is that the Great Filter lies ahead of us. The galaxy should be full of life, but it is not; one other instance of life would suggest that the many other civilizations that should be there were wiped out by some catastrophe that we and our alien counterparts have yet to face.
Fortunately, we haven’t found any life. Although it might be lonely, it means humanity’s chances at long-term survival are a bit higher than otherwise.
Research Think They've Cracked The Secret Behind Pluto's Weirdly Unstable Orbit
MATT WILLIAMS, UNIVERSE TODAY
In 1930, astronomer Clyde Tombaugh discovered the fabled "Ninth Planet" (or "Planet X") while working at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. The existence of this body had been predicted previously based on perturbations in the orbit of Uranus and Neptune.
After receiving more than 1,000 suggestions from around the world, and a debate among the Observatory's staff, this newfound object was named Pluto – which was proposed by a young schoolgirl from Oxford (Venetia Burney).
Since that time, Pluto has been the subject of considerable study, a naming controversy, and was visited for the first time on July 14th, 2015, by the New Horizons mission.
One thing that has been clear from the beginning is the nature of Pluto's orbit, which is highly eccentric and inclined. According to new research, Pluto's orbit is relatively stable over longer timescales but is subject to chaotic perturbance and changes over shorter timescales.
To break it down, Pluto's orbit is radically different from those of the planets, which follow nearly circular orbits around the Sun close to its equator, projected outward (aka. the ecliptic).
In contrast, it takes 248 years for Pluto to complete a single orbit around the Sun and follows a highly-elliptical orbit that is inclined 17° to the Solar System's ecliptic plane.
The eccentric nature of its orbit also means that Pluto spends 20 years during each period orbiting closer to the Sun than Neptune.
The nature of Pluto's orbit is an enduring mystery and something that astronomers became aware of very shortly after it was discovered. Since then, multiple efforts have been made to simulate the past and future of its orbit, which revealed a surprising property that protects Pluto from colliding with Neptune.
As Malhotra told Universe Today via email, this is the orbital resonance condition known as a "mean motion resonance":
"This condition ensures that at the time that Pluto is at the same heliocentric distance as Neptune, its longitude is nearly 90 degrees away from Neptune's. Later another peculiar property of Pluto's orbit was discovered: Pluto comes to perihelion at a location well above the plane of Neptune's orbit; this is a different type of orbital resonance known as the 'vZLK oscillation.'"
This abbreviation refers to von Zeipel, Lidov, and Kozai, who studied this phenomenon as part of the "three-body problem."
This problem consists of taking the initial positions and velocities of three massive objects (since extended to include particles) and solving for their subsequent motion according to Newton's Three Laws of Motion and his Theory of Universal Gravitation – for which there is no general solution.
As Malhotra added: "In the late-1980s, with the availability of more powerful computers, numerical simulations revealed a third peculiar property, that Pluto's orbit is technically chaotic, that is, small deviations of initial conditions lead to exponential divergence of the orbital solutions over tens of millions of years.
"However, this chaos is limited. It has been found in numerical simulations that the two special properties of Pluto's orbit mentioned above persist over gigayear timescales, making its orbit remarkably stable, despite the chaos indicators."
For their study, Malhotra and Ito conducted numerical simulations of Pluto's orbit for up to five billion years into the future of the Solar System.
In particular, they hoped to address unresolved questions about the peculiar orbits of Pluto and other Pluto-sized objects (aka Plutinos). These questions have been addressed by research conducted during the past few decades, such as "planet migration theory," but have only to a point.
In this hypothesis, Pluto was pulled into its current mean motion resonance by Neptune, which migrated during the Solar System's early history.
A major prediction of this theory is that other Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) would share the same resonance condition, which has since been verified with the discovery of large numbers of Plutinos.
This discovery has also led to the more widespread acceptance of planet migration theory.
But as Malhotra explained: "Pluto's orbital inclination is closely linked to its vZLK oscillation. So we reasoned that if we could understand better the conditions for Pluto's vZLK oscillation, perhaps we could solve the mystery of its inclination. We started by investigating the individual role of the other giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus) on Pluto's orbit."
To do this, Malhotra and Ito ran computer simulations where they simulated the orbital evolution of Pluto for up to 5 billion years that included eight different combinations of giant planet perturbation. These N-body simulations included interactions with:
Neptune (—NP)
Uranus and Neptune (–UNP)
Saturn and Neptune (-S-NP)
Jupiter and Neptune (J–NP)
Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (-SUNP)
Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune (J-UNP)
Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune (JS-NP)
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (JSUNP)
"We found no subsets of the inner three giant planets would do to recover Pluto's vZLK oscillation; all three – Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus – were necessary," said Malhotra. "But what is it about these planets that [are] essential to Pluto's vZLK oscillation?"
Malhotra added. "There are 21 parameters needed to represent the gravitational forces of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus on Pluto. This is a prohibitively large parameter space to explore."
To simplify these calculations, Malhotra and Ito collapsed these into a single parameter by introducing some simplifications. This included representing each planet with a circular ring of uniform density, a total mass equal to the planet's, and a ring radius equal to the planet's average distance from the Sun (aka semimajor axis).
As Malhotra indicated, this yielded a single parameter representing the effect of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus (J2), which was equivalent to the effect of an "oblate Sun."
"[W]e discovered a fortuitous arrangement of the masses and orbits of the giant planets that delineates a narrow range in the J2 parameter in which Pluto's vZLK oscillation is possible, a kind of 'Goldilock's zone,'" she said.
"This result indicates that, during the planet migration era in [the] Solar System's history, the conditions for Trans-Neptunian objects changed in such a way as to promote many of them – including Pluto – into the vZLK oscillation state. It is likely that Pluto's inclination originated during this dynamical evolution."
These results are likely to have significant implications for future studies of the outer Solar System and its orbital dynamics.
With further study, Malhotra believes that astronomers will learn more about the migration history of the giant planets and how they eventually settled into their current orbits. It could also lead to the discovery of a novel dynamical mechanism that will explain the origins of Pluto's orbit and other bodies with high orbital inclinations.
This will be especially useful to astronomers dedicated to the study of Solar System dynamics. As Malhorta noted, researchers in this field were beginning to suspect that evidence that might shed light on Pluto's orbital evolution might have been erased by the instabilities and chaotic nature of these same orbital mechanics.
As Malhotra summarized: "I think that our work raises new hope for making a connection between present-day Solar System dynamics and historical Solar System dynamics. The origin of the orbital inclinations of minor planets throughout the solar system – including the TNOs – presents a major unsolved problem; perhaps our work will stimulate more attention to it.
"Another point that our study underscores is the value of simple(r) approximations for a complicated problem: i.e., collapsing 21 parameters into a single parameter opened the door to getting at the essential dynamical mechanisms affecting the very interesting but difficult-to-understand orbital dynamics of Pluto and Plutinos."
Astrophysicist believes alien tech may ‘have crashed into Pacific Ocean’
Astrophysicist believes alien tech may ‘have crashed into Pacific Ocean’
By Harry Pettit, The Sun
A US Space Command memo released last week confirmed that the object was an interstellar meteor, but Professor Loeb disagrees.
Getty Images/iStockphoto
A top scientist is plotting a mission to find what he believes is alien technology lying at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Controversial astrophysicist Avi Loeb believes an interstellar object that crash-landed on Earth in 2014 was some form of spacecraft.
A US Space Command (USSC) report released last week confirmed that the object was from another star system.
The agency concluded that the projectile – which streaked across the sky off the coast of Manus Island, Papua New Guinea – was a meteor.
Prof. Loeb, however, is having none of it. He claimed on Wednesday that the object could have been built by extraterrestrials.
“Our discovery of an interstellar meteor heralds a new research frontier,” the Harvard astronomer wrote in an essay for The Debrief.
“The fundamental question is whether any interstellar meteor might indicate a composition that is unambiguously artificial in origin.
“Better still, perhaps some technological components would survive the impact.”
Prof. Loeb has spent decades studying astronomy and more recently has trained his sights on the possibility that life exists beyond Earth.
His bold claims frequently make headlines and he has faced criticism from others in his field over his outlandish extraterrestrial theories.
Working with a student at Harvard, Prof. Loeb was actually the astronomer who identified the object as interstellar a few years ago.
The pair wrote a paper about it but were instructed not to publish it because they used classified government data for their research.

After the USSC confirmed their hunch on April 7, Loeb is calling for an expedition to find whatever’s left of the object.
In his essay, he noted that a retrieval expedition could be achieved using “scooping” magnets to explore the 10 square kilometer region of the Pacific Ocean where the object is thought to have landed.
“My dream is to press some buttons on a functional piece of equipment that was manufactured outside of Earth,” he added.
The prolific astrophysicist is no stranger to controversy.
He has produced provocative research on black holes, space radiation, the early universe and other topics of his field.
Over the past decade, his focus has been trained on a more contentious topic: The possibility that Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials.
Prof. Loeb has repeatedly claimed that Oumuamua – an interstellar object that zipped through the Solar System in 2017 was technology sent by aliens.
He doubled down on the heavily contested comments – which earned him headlines across the globe – in a book published last year.
“What would happen if a caveman saw a cellphone?” Loeb wrote. “He’s seen rocks all his life, and he would have thought it was just a shiny rock.”
He took fault with astronomers who argued that the object was a comet, saying it was akin to letting “the familiar to define what we might discover.”
Many scientists have rubbished his outlandish claims, branding them cavalier and irresponsible.
Loeb heads up the Galileo Project, which aims to establish a network of advanced telescopes that will scan the skies for signs of alien life.

Full Body Apparition Caught On Home CCTV & Action Figure Filmed Moving It's Head On Its Own...
Clip One:This was capture by the CCTV camera of a home in Tucson, Arizona on November 11, 2021 but just posted a day ago. The ghostly figure in this footage is transparent as we can see it but also see right through is and just before the footage ends the apparition disappears. The witness stated this: "Years ago our former next door neighbor asked if anyone had died in their house - apparently they were experiencing things they couldn't explain. After a rash of thefts on our street, we installed security cameras and recorded this, about 10 seconds in, moving from right to left before vanishing." Thanks to MementoMori for allowing the use of this footage and to view the original:
Clip Two: This clip was posted to Reddit 8 days ago by Tony Ricco and i the clip we can see this action figure turn it's head. What do you guys think this could be? Thanks to Tony Ricco for posting this clip and to view the original:
Date of sighting:4017-2022 Location of sighting: Hawaii
Now this amazing galaxy-like light was seen moving across the sky by the Mauna Kea Observatory. The light seems to look like a failed rocket launch or mini black hole forming in the sky. So far there have been no official reports about it and no official answers to what it might be. In my opinion it is a temporary portal in which UFOs come and go in a blink of an eye to from their home world to Earth. These kind of portals would be less seen over the ocean area, but was accidentally caught by the observatory telescope. This is 100% proof of aliens transporting to our planet.
THE PENTAGON has another sensational UFO video taken from the deck of a US warship showing two car-sized ball of light objects.
Footage is said to have been filmed by crew aboard the USS Kearsarge of the strange encounter - but it has now been locked away and marked as classified.
Documentary filmmaker Dave C. Beaty - who produced 2019 film The Nimitz Encounters about the famous 2004 US Navy encounter with the "Tic Tac" object - said he understands the video exists.
It comes as US military begins to open up about the phenomena which is now being openly discussed by military insiders and politicians.
Mr Beaty revealed details of the USS Kearsarge's encounter earlier this month as it becomes the latest warship to have been shadowed by UFOs.

The phenomena - described by sources familiar with the encounter as odd and menacing "balls of light" - are said to have been following around half a mile behind the ship and around 200 feet above the ocean in October 2021.
Mr Beaty said the US Marines who sighted the objects filed a report on the incident with the Department of Defence.
The report included a video - but that report and footage is now understand to have been marked as classified.
It shows that while many in the US are attempting to be more open about subject - there still remains a veil of secrecy around the issue, with some well placed civil servants opting to be more bureaucratic than others.
The US Navy officially updated its UFO reporting guidelines in 2019 as it sought to "update and formalise" the process.
It is understood a message to the fleet was sent out detailing these new instructions and procedures.
UFOs are now more commonly referred to as UAPs - unidentified aerial phenomena.
Documents released this week explained the change, telling the US Navy's press office to explicitly not use the term UFO.

"The latter term is intrinsically linked to the concept of extra-terrestrials and the associated hysteria generated by the media that cover this topic," it reads.
Much of the US's renewed efforts over UAP sightings has been an apparent effort to seemingly focus the reporting process.
The UAP report released last summer said that "efforts are underway to standardize incident reporting across the US military services and other government agencies".
But it is understood however that UAP reports remain filed as classified.
And this is something which frustrates many who call for more openness in the investigation of the topic, including open up the files so they can be studied by the scientific community.
USS Kearsarge had been training at the time ahead of an overseas deployment - including with systems designed to take down enemy drones.
The weapons included anti-drone "Ghostbusters" style backpacks, and systems mounted on vehicles.
Pictures from the ship's public Facebook page reveal they had these capabilities onboard at the time of the encounter.
The objects are said to have been spotted by the deck-watch at night - who could not gain a thermal targeting lock on them.
They're not ours
Marines onboard are said to have believed at first that the UFO's were part of a surprise training exercise for the new anti-drone weapons. However, they discovered the countermeasures did not disrupt the objects - which were doing swooping manoeuvres as they followed the ship. Mark told Mr Beaty that the USS Kearsarge radioed command about the objects and were shockingly informed that the objects were "not ours".

Mr Beaty previously revealed deck logs that confirmed a UFO encounter by the USS Kidd - when the destroyer was swarmed by at least four unexplained objects in July of 2019.
And there has been a step change in recent years, after the viral trio of US Navy UFO videos, the "Gimbal", "Go Fast", and "Tic Tac".
The footage stunned people around the world and remains unexplained to this day - sparking a new, more mainstream, interest in UFOs.
US officials have now set up a new office in the Pentagon - putting an official reporting structure in place for UFO encounters for the first time in decades.
It came after a landmark report on the subject was released last summer - confirming dozens of unexplained encounters, now officially referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).
Defence insiders, intelligence officials, senators and former presidents have all gone on record admitting there is an unexplained "something" in our skies.
And it comes after the Pentagon released 1,574 pages of documents related to its UFO programme.
The documents were government commissioned scientific reports and letters to the Pentagon regarding the UFO programme it claims is now shut down.
The haul includes reports into research on the biological effects of UFO sightings on humans, sets out categorisations for paranormal experiences, and studies into sci-fi-style tech.
IN DEZE KOSMISCHE ENGEL SCHUILEN 600 BRUINE DWERGEN
IN DEZE KOSMISCHE ENGEL SCHUILEN 600 BRUINE DWERGEN

De ruimtefoto van de week is deze schitterende Hubble-foto van de engelachtige nevel S106. In het centrum van de nevel schuilt een jonge, maar ook zeer actieve ster.
Met een beetje fantasie herken je een engel in deze nevel. Draai je de foto een kwartslag, dan zie je misschien een zandloper. De vleugels van de engel hebben een lichtblauwe gloed. Deze vleugels bestaan uit heet waterstofgas, in beweging gebracht door de ster IRS 4 (Infrared Source 4) in het centrum van de nevel. Rondom deze ster bevindt zich een ring van stof en gas, die je het beste kan vergelijken met een broekriem. Deze strakke riem duwt de uitdijende nevel in een zandloper-vorm.
De foto is in 2011 gemaakt door de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop. De nevel Sharpless 2-106 bevindt zich op een afstand van circa 3.300 lichtjaar van de aarde in het sterrenbeeld Zwaan. De nevel zelf heeft een doorsnee van enkele lichtjaren.

Meer dan 600 bruine dwergsterren Wist je dat deze nevel een thuishaven is voor meer dan 600 bruine dwergen? Bruine dwergen zijn mislukte sterren. Normale sterren gaan schijnen doordat het kernfusieproces in gang wordt gezet. Soms is de bal materie niet dicht genoeg om dit proces te starten en blijft er een bruine dwerg over. Een gefaalde ster gloeit in infraroodlicht, maar geeft weinig ‘normaal’ licht af. Daarmee zijn bruine dwergen de koudste sterren in het universum. In infrarood licht zijn er dus wel 600 lichtpuntjes te zien in de nevel S106, maar in zichtbaar licht zijn deze dwergen onzichtbaar.
Een tijdloze klassieker Deze foto van S106 is één van Hubble’s mooiste foto’s. Dit komt vooral door de vele details die zichtbaar zijn. Dankzij Hubble’s scherpe ogen zijn allerlei rimpelingen in het gas te zien. Een bijzonder schouwspel.
De afgelopen decennia hebben ruimtetelescopen en satellieten prachtige foto’s gemaakt van nevels, sterrenstelsels, stellaire kraamkamers en planeten. Ieder weekend halen we één of meerdere indrukwekkende ruimtefoto uit het archief. Genieten van alle foto’s? Bekijk ze op deze pagina.
