Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

    Atlantis found? Diver made 'extraordinary' discovery of huge 'man-made' structure

    ATLANTIS was tipped to have been uncovered after a diver made the "extraordinary" discovery of a mysterious formation "the size of five football fields".

    The mythical island, which was said to be a strong naval power that besieged Ancient Athens, was first described by the Greek writer Plato in his texts 'Timaeus' and 'Critias'. In the story, Athens repelled the Atlantean attack unlike any other nation of the known world, supposedly giving testament to the superiority of ancient Greece. The legend concluded with Atlantis falling out of favour with the deities and submerging below the Atlantic Ocean, never to be seen again.
    But National Geographic’s ‘Legend of Atlantis’ documentary revealed how a diver stumbled across what was tipped to be a man-made structure, sparking interest in the lost city again.

    The narrator said: “Using science and not science fiction, draining the oceans exposes new evidence about Atlantis and other stories of great sunken cities around the world.

    “As the waters recede from around the remote Japanese island of Yonaguni, a mysterious formation begins to appear.

    “Could it be the creation of an advanced, ancient people?

    Japanese island of Yonaguni

    The discovery was made in the waters around the Japanese island of Yonaguni

    “Yonaguni lies in the East China Sea, the waters here are perilous.”

    Kihachiro Aratake, the diver who battled sharks, powerful currents and treacherous weather conditions to explore the site, revealed what he first saw.

    He said: "The water was crystal clear.

    “I felt as though I was looking down from the seabed from the sky.

    “I saw a step-like formation, like terraced fields.

    “I thought for a moment it was similar to the Machu Picchu ruins. I named the spot ‘the submarine ruins’.”

    The documentary revealed more details about what Mr Aratake found, before speculating it was man-made.

    It added: “It’s an extraordinary spectacle, the size of five football fields.

    “Smooth-sided walls rise up to the summit, the height of an eight-storey building.

    “Flights of stone steps climb up from the base and on every side, the shapes and forms are strikingly regular.

    Sonar scan of the formation

    “It can't be formed naturally, without human involvement, so what could it be?”

    Professor of Basic Structures of Human Societies Hironobu Kan completed a sonar scan of the area to build a better picture.

    The series continued last week: “Using this data, it's possible, for the very first time to drain the water and reveal what lies beneath in exact detail.

    “The summit of the mysterious structure begins to appear.

    “Water pours off its smooth terraced layers, exposing them once again to the sky.

    “And with the monument left high and dry, its true scale becomes clear.”

    Known as the Yonaguni Monument, the submerged rock formation is located off the coast of the Ryukyu Islands, in Japan, placing it on the other side of the globe to where Plato said Atlantis submerged.

    Sunken structures

    The structures were described as man-made 
    (Image: NAT GEO)

    Marine geologist Masaaki Kimura previously claimed that the formation is man-made stepped monoliths, but that has been described as "pseudo archaeology" by other experts.

    Neither the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs nor the government of Okinawa Prefecture, in the East China Sea, recognises the features as important cultural artefacts and neither government agency has carried out research or preservation work on the site.

    While present-day philologists and classicists agree on Atlantis' fictional character, there is still debate on what served as its inspiration.

    Plato is known to have freely borrowed some of his allegories and metaphors from older traditions.

    This led a number of scholars to investigate possible inspiration of Atlantis from Egyptian records of the Thera eruption, the Sea Peoples invasion, or the Trojan War.

    Others have rejected this chain of tradition as implausible and insist that Plato created an entirely fictional account.

    “Observed Bright light making unusual directional changes” over Mooloolaba, Australia

    This strange UFO sighting was filmed back on 19th December 2021 over Mooloolaba, a coastal suburb of Maroochydore in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.

    Witness report: 

    I initially observed a bright light travelling south down the Sunshine Coast area near Mooloolaba. I initially thought it might be a helicopter with a search or spot light. However I was sure I noticed it suddenly reversing direction and making sudden downward and upward movements. I grabbed my S21 Samsung phone and recorded approx 30 seconds of footage until I was about to loose site behind a tree. I immediately went onto flight radar and there was nothing in the area. I then tried to get another visual but it was unable to find the object. When I zoom in on my recording you can clearly see the unusual movements.

    Unidentified Flying Objects – The Reality, the Cover-Up and the Truth

    Unidentified Flying Objects, or UFOs as they are commonly known, have been witnessed by millions of people all over the world and have been recorded in history books, myths, legends and traditions for thousands of years. However, many accounts that are recorded in ancient texts are dismissed as mere myths and legends, while UFO sightings that have taken place in the last few centuries have been classified as misinterpretations of natural phenomena, illusions, or conspiracy theories.

    The Reality Within the Mythology of Unidentified Flying Objects

    History has shown us time and again that a plethora so-called myths have their basis in reality. It is possible, and indeed likely, that stories and legends were a way for people to explain real—and perhaps perplexing—events using the knowledge and beliefs of their time.

    In support of this theory, a number of events described in mythology, which were once considered mere fairy tales, have now been proven through archaeology to have existed. A famous example is the city Troy, which is central to Homer’s The Iliad . Long considered to be a city of myth, Heinrich Schliemann’s discovery of the actual site in 1868 elevated it to a place in history.

    Nevertheless, the remainder of The Iliad is still viewed as a myth and fantasy without any serious attempts being made to investigate whether or not there may be more truth behind the tale. The same goes for many accounts of flying machines and unidentified flying objects , which we find reference to in countless mythologies from numerous different cultures around the world.

    It is common to see people selectively decide what is real and what is not based on the unsubstantiated assumption that ancient people were primitive and had little to no knowledge compared to us today. On the contrary, many ancient civilizations, like the Sumerians, Indus Valley, and Egyptians existed with complex social structures, legal systems, art, astronomy, mathematics, and technology, some of which is still not fully understood today. The Antikythera Mechanism , for example, is a 2,200-year-old mechanical device that is still not completely understood despite  decades of research by top scientists around the world.

    Ancient Astronaut Theory and Unidentified Flying Objects

    The topic of flying objects and supernatural beings from beyond our world is one in which we find multiple references in mythology. All of these myths and legends, along with archaeological evidence such as rock art depictions, have created a wave of theories that gave birth to the aptly named ancient astronaut perspective. This theory links all of these ancient references and depictions to UFOs, and posits that extraterrestrials visited Earth and made contact with humans in antiquity and prehistory, influencing the development of human cultures, technologies, and religions.

    Unfortunately, there are numerous charlatans who have tried to cash in on this movement for profit or publicity, or who have diminished it with caricatures of little green men, resulting in the ancient astronaut perspective being widely criticized and attacked for its lack of credibility. Consequently, what is in fact a plausible and possible explanation for what we see in ancient art and texts, is now rarely examined by scholars, who fear being ridiculed or having their professional career seriously undermined.

    UFO Sightings in Recent History

    But let’s leave the ancient past for a while and examine just the last 80 years of human history. Millions of people all over the globe have witnessed unidentified flying objects . Many have been recorded in detailed reports witnessed by police, pilots, astronauts, government officials, pilots, military personnel and, of course, ordinary citizens.

    Some of the more well-known cases were witnessed by thousands of people at one time. Historical records make it evident that UFO appearances magnified during and after World War II, including the example of the famous Foo Fighters.

    While most sightings can be explained either by celestial phenomena, airplanes, planets, weather phenomena, military exercises, or in some cases drug use or mental instability, there still exists a small percentage that cannot be accounted for by any of these explanations. This is what makes the phenomena important, particularly considering that sightings are frequently reported around military bases and airfields and are therefore, at the very least, a matter of both national security and air safety.

    It is an undeniable fact that there are cases of unidentified objects in our skies. It has been acknowledged by the major governments from all over the world simply through the very fact that official research has been conducted on the matter in the US, UK, Russia, Europe, China, South America, and many others. All of this research, in every single case, concluded that there is a percentage of phenomena that cannot be explained.

    In recent history, many countries have declassified their UFO research files, releasing thousands of documents through the Freedom of Information Act and making numerous UFO cases available in the public domain. One recently released document from the UFO files in Britain, revealed how Churchill, concerned about the UFO issue, ordered a shutdown of information for at least 50 years to prevent mass panic and the potential to undermine religious beliefs. The document in question was published on the BBC news site in 2010.

    By doing careful research on the topic, passing over obvious scam and fake stories, it is clear to see that unidentified flying objects do exist. So the question is not whether they exist or not, but rather, what are they? Are they of terrestrial or extraterrestrial origin? And what is their purpose?

    Unidentified Flying Objects and the Limits of Science

    Many prominent scientists have already stated that other civilizations must exist in the Universe, and that it would be statistically impossible for this not to be the case. However, with our knowledge of science and technology today, we cannot yet support the means for interstellar travel. Since we have not discovered intelligent life in our solar system, the assumption is made that there must be no way that extraterrestrials could have travelled to Earth.

    However, this argument is of course flawed because it is based within the framework of our own understanding of the universe, and does not take into account the capabilities of civilizations that may be millions of years ahead of our own. It also hinges on the following assumptions:

    • We know everything about physics and reality and therefore there is no way that such distant travel can be achieved.
    • We are using our means to try to contact other civilizations (e.g. SETI’s attempts to pick up radio or communication signals) and since we don’t perceive any signals of OUR type, nothing must exist.
    • We are looking for organic forms of life exactly like us and for planets with the exact same conditions as ours.

    It is clear that these arguments show the arrogance of mankind, a mankind that may just be an infant in the Universe. And this is not new. During the history of humanity, in every single period of time, we believed that we knew the truth, only to have it replaced later on by new knowledge. 

    “There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.”

    (Lord Kelvin, 1901, physicist)

    Quantum physics , still a relatively new and unexplored field in Science, has shown that reality could be completely different to what we believe it to be. Powerful telescopes have shown distant planets in solar systems that could possibly sustain life. Theories of wormholes and warp drives have shown that at a theoretical level we could achieve interstellar travel. Yes, we would require incredible amounts of energy to even think of trying to achieve something like this, so according to our standards today it is impossible to achieve, but in theory it can be achieved.

    “It now seems quite clear that Earth is not the only inhabited planet. There is evidence that the bulk of the stars in the sky have planetary systems. Recent research concerning the origin of life on Earth suggests that the physical and chemical processes leading to the origin of life occur rapidly in the early history of the majority of planets within our Milky Way galaxy–perhaps as many as a million–are inhabited by technical civilizations in advance of our own. Interstellar space flight is far beyond our present technical capabilities, but there seems to be no fundamental physical objections to preclude, from our own vantage point, the possibility of its development by other civilizations.”

    Reluctance to Engage with Unidentified Flying Objects

    The reason that the scientific community is not dealing seriously with UFOs is because the topic has been extensively ridiculed both by the media and in academic circles, with false information spread everywhere. For similar reasons, military personnel, astronauts, pilots, and other categories of professionals do not want to talk because, either they have been forced to sign confidentiality agreements, or because of fear that their careers would be destroyed. This is why we have seen many examples of death bed confessions.

    One such case was with astronaut Gordon Cooper, who told the world about his experience encountering a UFO during his flight in the Mercury capsule in 1963. Before he died he stated: “For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists in astronautics. I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us.”

    While great efforts have been made to ridicule and disparage anyone who lends support to the existence of UFOs, the fact remains that there are numerous high-profile cases of unidentified flying objects that are supported by solid evidence, and which should not be dismissed.

    Recorded UFO Sightings with Extensive Witness Support

    Below I present a very limited list constituting strong evidence for the existence of unidentified flying objects in the last 60 years.

    November 1942 – La Incident, Known as the Battle of Los Angeles

    It all happened in the early hours of February 25 in 1942. An aircraft flew over LA County that sparked an air raid alert (it was in the midst of WWII). Searchlights and guns were locked onto the aircraft for about an hour. The picture below appeared in the LA Times in a story about the Battle of LA. It clearly shows a night time defensive response to an air raid. The aircraft was not hostile and obviously was not damaged by the attack. The Government stated that the craft they were shooting at was an unidentified flying object.

    December 1980 – Rendlesham Forest Incident , Suffolk, United Kingdom

    This incident involved a group of American servicemen stationed at a military base in Suffolk that contained a storage center with nuclear weapons. There had been three consecutive nights of sighting objects in the sky over the base, in some cases shining a light down upon the nuclear weapons storage.

    On the third night, approximately two dozen servicemen were sent into the forest to investigate one set of mysterious lights. The men reported seeing a spacecraft on the ground in close proximity to them and three extraterrestrial beings. One serviceman claimed to have touched the craft.

    The whole incident was filmed and photographed by one of the servicemen, but all photos and videos were removed by the US military. When the British Government released the UFO files, the Rendlesham incident papers were missing – as reported by the BBC News .

    November 1986, Japan Air Lines Flight 1628 Over Alaska

    In November, 1986, a Japanese crew of a jumbo freighter aircraft witnessed three enormous unidentified objects while flying over Alaska, USA. This sighting gained international attention when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that it was going to officially investigate this sighting because the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Anchorage, Alaska, had reported that the UFO had been detected on radar. The unidentified flying objects in this case were tracked on both ground and airborne radar, witnessed by experienced airline pilots, and confirmed by a FAA Division Chief.

    April 1990 – Belgium UFO Wave, Petit Rechain Belgium

    The Belgium UFO wave began in November 1989. The events of 29 November would be documented by no less than thirty different groups of witnesses, and three separate groups of police officers. All of the reports related to a large object flying at low altitude.

    The craft itself was of a flat, triangular shape, with lights underneath. This giant craft did not make a sound as it slowly moved across the landscape of Belgium. The Belgium UFO wave peaked with events on the night of 30/31 March 1990. On that night, unknown objects were tracked on radar, chased by two Belgian Air Force F16s, photographed, and were sighted by an estimated 13,500 people on the ground – 2,600 of whom filed written statements describing in detail what they had seen. Following the incident, the Belgian air force released a report detailing the events of that night.

    March 1997 – Phoenix Lights , Arizona, USA

    The Phoenix Lights (also identified as "Lights over Phoenix") was a UFO sighting which occurred in Phoenix, Arizona, and Sonora, Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997. Lights of varying descriptions were seen by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, in a space of about 300 miles (480 km), from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson.

    Witnesses claim to have observed a huge square-shaped UFO, containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines. Fife Symington, the governor at the time, was one witness to this incident; he later called the unidentified flying object as "otherworldly."

    October 2004 – Osaka Airport, Japan

    On the night of August 30, a cluster of multi-colored lights was seen floating in the sky above Osaka. Several people reported to Twitter that they saw a group of lights forming a triangular shape and flashing green, red and white in the night sky above Izumi city in Osaka Prefecture. The sightings caused a commotion on Twitter after one user wrote: “Everyone in Osaka, go outside! There’s a UFO!” prompting others to grab their cameras and snap up photos of mysterious, luminous and unidentified flying object.

    November 2006, O-Hare Airport, USA

    At approximately 16:15 CST on Tuesday November 7, 2006, federal authorities at Chicago O'Hare International Airport received a report that a group of twelve airport employees were witnessing a metallic, saucer-shaped craft hovering over Gate C-17.

    The object was first spotted by a ramp employee who was pushing back United Airlines Flight 446, which was departing Chicago for Charlotte, North Carolina. The employee apprised Flight 446's crew of the object above their aircraft. It is believed that both the pilot and co-pilot also witnessed the object.

    Several independent witnesses outside of the airport also saw the object. According to the Chicago Tribune 's Jon Hilkevitch, “the disc was visible for approximately two minutes and was seen by close to a dozen United Airlines employees, ranging from pilots to supervisors, who heard chatter on the radio and raced out to view it.”

    May 2007, UFO Fleets, Lima, Peru

    The incident took place on May 2007 at 14.00 local time in Lima, Peru. A series of moving lights resembling an armada of flying objects appeared in the skies. The story was reported on the news and was seen by thousands of people.

    July 2010 – Xiaoshan Airport , China

    An unidentified flying object that disrupted air traffic in Hangzhou for an hour on Wednesday, 10th of July 2010. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi. Eighteen flights were affected.

    A spokesman from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) confirmed to ABC News that the matter is under investigation. He declined to disclose further details. A day after the sighting, however, an anonymous source told China Daily that authorities already discovered the identity of the UFO after an investigation but could not publically disclose the information because “there was a military connection.”

    Implications of Disclosing Information about Unidentified Flying Objects

    Many would say that the above examples constitute irrefutable proof that extraterrestrial UFOs exist. So why isn’t the public told about it? Imagine the implications that disclosure would have and what it would mean. Acknowledgment of extra-terrestrial civilizations having visited Earth would mean that many of the myths and legends of the past are in fact based on reality.

    Disclosure would suggest that humanity has been influenced for millennia by other-worldly beings, beings that in the past were considered gods. Disclosure would entirely topple the status quo and the balance of powers in society, and turn upside down what we know about the history of mankind.

    The acknowledgement of the UFO phenomena is an event with the power to bring a global revolution in every sector of our lives today – technology and energy supply, communication and environmental concerns, society and religion. Is this what governments and corporations are afraid of – a shift in balance and their loss of their positions of power and control? Or is it that the powers that be are afraid of re-writing our human history?

    When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science, but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum leap.”

    As you already know, I love to go through NASA photos and catch the things that they missed. Here are two interesting things that both scream out the existence of life. First is a pyramid shaped structure about one meter tall. It has a white door. Which tells me something is inside right now, and that doorway is to protect it from the elements and any other creatures. The second object is an ancient jar on its side. A small animal like a white slug found it and made it its home. You can easily make out the white slug creature peeking out of the hole in the top of the jar. Both these discoveries are proof of life, however they are only about ten meters apart, which says one may be a coincidence, but two is a confirmation of life.

    U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter encountered three UFOs during a training flight in Arizona

    November 6, 2018, pilots of a U.S. Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter encountered three unidentified aerial phenomena during a training flight in Arizona. 

    The video shows three unknown aircraft initially appearing to be flying in a loose triangular formation. The three unknown objects suddenly appear to rotate around each other, as if revolving around an unseen axis, all while maintaining a steady eastward trajectory. 
    Former U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter pilot Chris Lehto analyzed the footage and concluded, “it is without a doubt anomalous.” According to Lehto, “The tracking rate is exceptionally fast. Even if they are only a mile away, I calculate they go approximately 1.28M. Well past the speed of sound.” 
    “The circle-dance maneuver is just not possible,” added Lehto. “They do a full 360-degree turn in less than 3 seconds!” 
    In Lehto’s opinion, no F-16—nor any drone or other aircraft in the current known inventory of the United States military—is capable of what the objects are seen doing in the video. He judges that they display “a turn rate that is an order of magnitude faster than one of the fastest turning fighters on earth,” which he estimates to be above 70 Gs.

    Wow! Signal: Origin of possible alien signal narrowed down - study

    Detected in 1977, the Wow! Signal is the strongest candidate for a genuine alien transmission, but where did it come from? This study may have the answer.

    A scientist may have pinpointed the origin of the Wow! Signal, the most famous alien radio broadcast in history, making it an ideal candidate for future research and observations in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI).

    The study, which was published in the peer-reviewed academic periodical The International Journal of Astrobiology, suggests that the famous signal could very well have come from a star located in the Sagittarius constellation that is similar to our own Sun.

    What is the Wow! Signal?

    The Wow! Signal is easily the most famous and enduring extraterrestrial radio transmission to Earth in history and to this day is the strongest candidate for a genuine radio transmission from an intelligent source.

    The signal itself is a strong narrowband radio signal and was recorded on August 15, 1977 at the Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University.

    The signal, which was detected over a period of 72 seconds (that was as long as the telescope was capable of observing, and it likely lasted longer), was then noticed by astronomer Jerry R. Ehman who, when looking over the printout of the data, circled the signal, noted by the sequence 6EQUJ5 and famously wrote "Wow!" next to it.

    The sequence in question does not refer to any message broadcast in the signal, but merely referred to the intensity variation.

    However, the signal, or any other like it, has yet to be detected again.

    Many experts have put forth hypotheses that could explain where it came from, most of which tried to ascribe a mundane origin to them.

    Famously, one theory proposed in 2017 suggested it could have been produced by a hydrogen cloud surrounding two comets in the area, but this was disproven for a number of reasons such as comets not emitting these strong radio signals at these frequencies and the location not being a fit.

    Could it be aliens?

    This is one commonly-cited possibility, though far from confirmed. It is still technically possible that it was broadcast from Earth and simply was reflected back by a piece of space debris, though this is still unlikely as the frequency is part of the protected spectrum where Earth-born transmissions are banned. 

    But if it was made by aliens, why has it only been sent once? 

    That is still possible. As noted in this new study, humanity has sent only a few radio signals with the goal of reaching an advanced alien civilization. As such, it is possible that another intelligent race could have done something similar and only sent a few signals.

    The study

    One of the big questions surrounding the Wow! Signal has always been where it came from. It was long thought that it originated from somewhere in the Sagittarius constellation, but efforts to narrow it down any further than two specific regions of space proved fruitless. 

    But what this study did was operate under the assumption that, if it was indeed made by an advanced and intelligent alien civilization, then they must live somewhere. Likely, they would live on an exoplanet similar to Earth.

    To narrow it down, the researcher behind it made use of the European Space Agency's Gaia Archive, which contains data on the deduced positions, motions, brightness and more of objects in the Milky Way galaxy and beyond.

    Here, they made use of the original estimates that narrowed down the origin of the signal to two regions and added a number of parameters and variables. Specifically, it came with the goal of narrowing it down to a certain kind of star that is the same type as the Sun, as the Sun is the only star confirmed to be able to support life.

    With all these parameters, the researcher was able to narrow it down to 38 candidate stars. Then, when specifying it for Sun-like stars, it was narrowed down to just one star, designated 2MASS 19281982-2640123.

    In other words, out of all the many stars in these regions of space where the Wow! Signal likely originated from, this was the sole star that was confirmed to be similar to the Sun. If there is an exoplanet capable of supporting an intelligent civilization, there is a possibility it could be here.

    There were a couple of other possible candidates, too, but they were less likely due to lack of data. So it is unclear if they properly fit the model.

    So in other words, this could be a potential target for further study, or even sending signals.

    But there is a problem: Distance.

    2MASS 19281982-2640123 is located some 1,800 light years away from Earth. In other words, sending a reply message of sorts is impossible - it's just too far away.

    But it is an ideal candidate for observations.

    Reactions

    Understandably, this is an exciting discovery in the field of SETI, as this is the strongest candidate for a genuine alien transmission.

    One person who commented on this was Russian-Israeli scientist and philanthropist Yuri Milner, founder of the Breakthrough Initiatives, which seeks to search for intelligent extraterrestrial life.

    On Twitter, Milner noted that it was "intriguing that there’s a Sun-like star in the right place to be its source," though he did still take a more cautious approach and noted that it may well be just an artifact.

    Also weighing in was Israeli-American astronomer Prof. Avi Loeb of Harvard University, one of the world's leading voices in SETI, and he too took a cautious approach.

    "Science is about reproducibility of results," he explained in an email. 

    "The Wow! Signal did not repeat and hence it is difficult to infer its origin. There are suggestions that it was human made. We need to find more signals of this type before associating likely explanations."

    He further gave the example of a recent radio signal detected coming from the direction of Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our Solar System, which is known to have two exoplanets that could possibly be habitable. However, further study indicated that these signals were likely of human origin.

    A cautious approach was also shared by Breakthrough Initiatives executive director Pete Worden.

    "The Wow! Signal is interesting but like other detections... it is most likely human-generated radio interference," he said in an email. 

    However, Worden also noted an issue about the focus of the study itself: That other types of stars could also possibly host life, as there is no reason to assume that life can't or doesn't exist in environments that drastically differ from that of Earth's surrounding our Sun.

    "Many experts believe life can and does exist under ice crusts in our own outer solar system. Some measurements suggest life exists in the hostile upper atmosphere of Venus," Worden explained. "The truth is we don’t know much about how life forms or where it can develop."

    NASA, Boeing Complete Starliner Uncrewed Flight Test to Space Station

    Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft lands at White Sands Missile Range’s Space Harbor, Wednesday, May 25, 2022, in New Mexico.

    Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft lands at White Sands Missile Range’s Space Harbor, Wednesday, May 25, 2022, in New Mexico. Boeing’s Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) is Starliner’s second uncrewed flight test to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. OFT-2 serves as an end-to-end test of the system's capabilities.

    NASA and Boeing safely landed the company’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft Wednesday in the desert of the western United States, completing the uncrewed Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) to the International Space Station to help prove the system is ready to fly astronauts.

    About four hours after departing the space station, Starliner touched down onto its airbags at 4:49 p.m. MDT, wrapping up the six-day flight, which tested the end-to-end capabilities of the crew-capable spacecraft. The landing followed a deorbit burn at 4:05 p.m., separation of the spacecraft’s service module, and successful deployment of its three main parachutes and six airbags.

    “NASA’s Commercial Crew Program and our industry partner, Boeing, today took a major and successful step on the journey to enabling more human spaceflight missions to the International Space Station on American spacecraft from American soil,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “The OFT-2 mission represents the power of collaboration, which allows us to innovate for the benefit of humanity and inspire the world through discovery. This golden era of spaceflight wouldn’t be possible without the thousands of individuals who persevered and poured their passion into this great achievement.”

    As part of the flight test for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, Boeing accomplished planned test objectives, including:

    • Starliner launch and normal trajectory to orbital insertion
    • Launch of United Launch Alliance’s (ULA) Atlas V and dual-engine Centaur second stage
    • Ascent abort emergency detection system validation
    • Starliner separation from the Atlas V rocket
    • Approach, rendezvous, and docking with International Space Station
    • Starliner hatch opening and closing, astronaut ingress, and quiescent mode
    • Crew habitability and internal interface evaluation
    • Starliner undocking and departure from space station
    • Starliner deorbit, and crew module separation from service module
    • Starliner descent and atmospheric entry with aero-deceleration system
    • Precision targeted landing and recovery

    “I am incredibly proud of the dedication and perseverance shown by the NASA, Boeing and ULA team culminating in the successful completion of Starliner’s second Orbital Flight Test from start to finish,” said Steve Stich, manager, NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. “Throughout this process, Starliner has provided a tremendous amount of valuable data, which we’re continuing to assess in our effort to bring the spacecraft online and fully operational for crew flights to the space station as soon as it is safe to do so.”

    The flight test began Thursday, May 19, when Starliner launched on the ULA Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

    Following liftoff, Starliner successfully entered Earth’s orbit, performed a series of demonstrations of its capabilities, and docked with the orbital outpost 26 hours after launch. The Expedition 67 crew aboard the station opened hatches and entered the capsule for the first time, inspecting the spacecraft and verifying integration with power and communications station systems for longer stays in the future. The station crew also unloaded 500 pounds of cargo delivered by Starliner and sent 600 pounds of cargo back to Earth.

    “Congratulations to the NASA and Boeing teams,” said Joel Montalbano, manager of NASA’s International Space Station Program. “I am excited to see the completion of a critical step in bringing another system online to transport long-duration crew members to and from the International Space Station. Soon, we hope to see crews arrive to the space station on Starliner to continue the important microgravity scientific research and discovery made possible by the orbiting laboratory.”

    A critical step in validating the performance of Boeing’s systems, OFT-2 brings the nation a significant step closer to having two unique human transportation systems to carry astronauts to and from the space station from U.S. soil.

    “We have had an excellent flight test of a complex system that we expected to learn from along the way and we have,” said Mark Nappi, vice president and program manager, Boeing Commercial Crew Program. “With the completion of OFT-2, we will incorporate lessons learned and continue working to prepare for the crewed flight test and NASA certification. Thank you to the NASA and Boeing teammates who have put so much of themselves into Starliner.”

    Starliner carried a “passenger” on this flight test – a lifelike test device named Rosie.

    During OFT-1, Rosie was outfitted with 15 sensors to collect data on what astronauts will experience during flights on Starliner. For OFT-2, spacecraft data capture ports previously connected to Rosie’s 15 sensors were used to collect data from sensors placed along the seat pallet, which is the infrastructure that holds all the crew seats in place. Among the cargo returned were three Nitrogen Oxygen Recharge System reusable tanks that provide breathable air to station crew members. The tanks will be refurbished on Earth and sent back to station on a future flight.

    Boeing retrieved the spacecraft from the desert and will transport it back to the company’s Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for processing.

    After NASA and Boeing review processes data from this test flight, teams will continue plans for Starliner and its next mission, the Crew Flight Test to the space station.

    According to sources The Debrief has interviewed, these incidents include encounters with aerial objects that appear to perform maneuvers well beyond the capabilities of conventional aircraft. Some of these events, which were also captured on video, have left a number of veteran pilots and other personnel questioning the nature and origin of these objects.

    Now in an exclusive to The Debrief, a former CBP agent is breaking his silence, offering significant details about his own experience with UAPs while patrolling the Mexican-American border. This, along with experiences and videos shared with him by fellow CBP and Department of Homeland Security officials, and his efforts to set up a process within the CBP for pilots and agents to report their sightings.

    For much of the last century, people have reported seeing strange objects in America’s skies. Sometimes appearing to maneuver at considerable speeds and without discernible means of propulsion, these unidentified aerial phenomena, more commonly known as UFOs, have remained an enduring mystery; one that ignores cultural and ideological boundaries with the same disregard they appear to show for territorial borders. 

    In recent years, the dialogue surrounding this long-taboo topic has been significantly elevated, particularly among lawmakers and defense officials in Washington. Several incidents, a majority of them reported in recent years by U.S. Navy personnel, have prompted questions about whether drones and sophisticated surveillance platforms operated by foreign adversaries–or perhaps something else entirely–could be involved in these aerial incursions into U.S. airspace. 

    Based on preliminary intelligence assessmentsUAP-related legislation, official Pentagon investigative offices, and recent congressional hearings, one might get the impression that UAP incidents are entirely limited to America’s sprawling defense and intelligence apparatus. 

    Yet people from virtually all walks of life have claimed to have bewildering sightings of these aerial interlopers. And as some former government officials have recently told The Debrief, when it comes to U.S. government and UAP, the Department of Defense is hardly the only show in town.  

    “It’s not just the DoD encountering this stuff,” says Robert “Bob” Thompson, a recently retired Department of Homeland Security Agent. 

    In an interview with The Debrief, Thompson recounted how one of the roles he took on as a federal agent with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector Special Operations Group involved establishing the reporting requirements for Unexplained Aerial Phenomena within the Tucson Sector. 

    According to Thompson, just like the military, a number of these bizarre incidents involving UAP have been captured on sophisticated government systems, normally tasked with catching drug smugglers or staving off the flow of illegal immigration. 

    “We have guys out there 24/7 with their eyes to the sky looking for smuggling, but they see other stuff,” said Thompson. “I talked to dozens and dozens of agents that all had similar stories of seeing bizarre stuff, of having encounters with UAP.”

    After serving for 11 years with the U.S. military and a stint with a Tucson area Fire Department as a Paramedic and Hazmat Technician, Thompson began his career with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency in January 2008. 

    As a federal law enforcement agent, Thompson would go on to spend the next 14 years guarding America’s southern borders, ultimately earning a spot on the Tucson Sectors Special Operations Detachment Mobile Response Team (MRT.)

    “I gravitated, you know, almost right off the bat to the special operations side,” Thompson told The Debrief

    “As always, you just want to surround yourself with the best,” he said. “100% out for excellence all the time. I got on to what they call our mobile Response Team, which is one of the three tiers that make up the Border Patrol Special Operations Detachment.” 

    Within the Special Operations Detachment the primary focus was counter terrorism, counter weapons of mass destruction proliferation, and drug interdiction.

    From 2020 to 2021, Thompson worked in the newly created Arizona Air Coordination Center, which was to become the brain for Air Operations within the Tucson Sector. While tasked in the center, Thompson worked on other projects including helping redesign the sector’s antiquated 911 system and redesigning reporting requirements for regular tracking of statistics for air support operations. 

    “Flying was kind of my forte. My responsibility was mainly helicopters, and some of the other aerial platforms that we work with and other partner agencies that we work with,” said Thompson in a phone call with The Debrief. “I was also a paramedic too. In fact, I was the senior paramedic, for all of the Border Patrol. I’d get pinged a lot as a subject matter expert when it comes to emergency management and preparation, emergency medicine, and counterterrorism.” 

    However, along with his official duties with the DHS, Thompson began investigating UAP sightings he learned about from within the agency, even collecting videos and images of bizarre encounters captured by sophisticated government systems. 

    “There’s other people that have concerns about [these objects] as well. You know, like it may be a foreign adversary,” said Thompson, describing them as “genuine objects that I couldn’t explain.”

    Although Thompson admits to having a long-time interest in UFOs, it was only after the 2017 revelations of a quasi-secret Pentagon program, the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (ATTIP), that he said he realized the DHS could provide equally valuable information in the organized study of UAP.  Thompson said he began producing an “Issue Paper” in an effort to improve reporting and guidance for agents encountering UAP along the southwest border. 

    “Tucson Sector Border Patrol (TCA) in conjunction with the Tucson Air and Marine Branch needs to develop a program to be able to Report, Identify, Catalog, and if needed; Interdict Unexplained Aerial Phenomena (UAP) that are encountered along the Southwest Border,” Thompson wrote in the document, a copy of which was obtained by The Debrief

    “Whether or not some of these objects pose a threat to American Interests is not clearly understood and by establishing reporting requirements, it may serve as an early warning system for emerging threats when combined with technology assets already in place by DHS.” 

    A February 9, 2021 encounter by the Tucson Police Department Air Support unit with an object that “defied known drone/SUAS characteristics,” was highlighted in the document. The craft, described as a “highly modified drone,” was able to outmaneuver helicopters operated by both the Tucson Police Department and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

    “This thing went on for 45 minutes over the city of Tucson,” Bob told The Debrief. “It was doing circles around (the police helicopters) then went up to 14,000 (ft).”

    “Could [it] be something Raytheon related?” Thompson asked. “Absolutely. Could it be, you know, a Chinese drone doing some scouting? Absolutely.”

    While trying to convince senior leadership to take the issue seriously, Thompson put the word out to the DHS aviation community that he was interested in any UAP encounters they might have had. 

    Continuing to carry out his full time duties at a DHS air coordination fusion center, it wasn’t long before Thompson says a stream of DHS and National Guard pilots started sharing accounts of encounters with aerial objects they could not identify. In some instances, the objects were also recorded on video by aircraft equipped with advanced imaging systems. 

    One striking example, made public now for the first time, depicts three fast-moving unidentified aircraft captured by the sophisticated targeting/imaging system of an Army AH-64 attack helicopter. 

    Captured by one of the U.S. military’s flagship attack helicopters close to midnight on November 6, 2018, roughly 40 miles northwest of Tucson, Arizona, the video appears to show several unidentifiable objects maneuvering unlike any known aircraft. 

    “Wow! Are those three really fast moving jets up there?” exclaims the Apache helicopter’s co-pilot and gunner as three objects suddenly appear, dashing across the sky as the aircraft prepares to take-off. 

    “Probably. Probably some A10’s or some F-16s,” the Apache’s pilot replies, before admitting, “but, I’m not looking up there.” 

    Although difficult to discern from the video alone, the three unknown aircraft initially appear to be flying in a loose triangular formation. 

    The co-pilot continues to follow the three objects with the aircraft’s multi-sensor imaging system, the Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (M-TADS/PNVS). 

    “The M-TADS/PNVS’s advanced FLIR sensors enable Army Aviation Warfighters to see first, understand first, act first and finish decisively on the tactical battlefield,” reads a fact sheet provided by the system’s manufacturer, Lockheed Martin. The sophisticated Apache Aviator Integrated Helmet (AAIH) worn by the aircrew allows the nose mounted IR imaging sensor to follow a pilot’s head movements. 

    As they approach the foothills of nearby Picacho Peak, the three unknown objects suddenly appear to rotate around each other, as if revolving around an unseen axis, all while maintaining a steady eastward trajectory. 

    After several rotations, the objects then resume an obtuse triangular formation before speeding out of sight as the Apache begins to take off.

    Although the encounter only lasted a few seconds, the unusual maneuvers conveyed in the video suggests it could represent the first publicly available imagery of UAP displaying highly-unconventional flight characteristics, captured by military sensor systems. 

    To verify the video’s authenticity, The Debrief was able to obtain a complete, unedited copy of the imagery captured by the Apache’s gun camera during the entirety of its flight.

    According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), unless there is a known air safety accident or incident, radar tracking information, air traffic control tape recordingsand data communications are only retained for 45 days. 

    Because the incident is more than three-years old, The Debrief was likewise unable to obtain any automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) transponder data from commercial aircraft tracking sources, capable of revealing any information on other aircraft that were operating within the vicinity at the time of the sighting. 

    It was noted that in the video the Apache pilot can be heard interacting with air traffic control and requesting permission to take off. There is no mention by air controllers to the pilots of any other aircraft operating in the area. 

    A check with aeronautical charts of the area using SkyVector.com also failed to provide any obvious clues, such as designated flight paths, low-level air-traffic lanes, or military operational areas that might help account for the objects. 

    In a video call with The Debrief, former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot Chris Lehto said the objects certainly have the appearance of being anomalous. 

    “It looks like three definite objects, but at a distance. The first thing that stands out to me is the rate of acceleration,” said Lehto, who spent 20-years in the Air Force flying F-16s and holds a Masters degree in aeronautical science.

    “If you see an airline out a distance, you’re just expecting it to move a certain amount of distance in a certain amount of time. Especially as a pilot, you just, you build that out more and you’re used to looking at planes and assessing how far away they are. And looking at objects, your brain just gets more and more attuned to that,” Lehto explained. 

    “And when I looked at this, the rate of acceleration just doesn’t make sense for any objects… I’ve seen in my life, as a pilot.” 

    Lehto says the objects appear to be moving faster than what he would expect to see even from high-performance aircraft, such as an F-16 or F/A-18 fighter jet. 

    “Without a doubt. I mean things do move that fast, but they’re constant because when they’re moving that fast they have a very large radius of curvature when they turn just based on centripetal force acceleration to be going that fast,” said Lehto. 

    When it comes to the bizarre sudden rotations, Lehto said, “How they fly, it doesn’t feel mechanical to me. They’re changing altitudes and headings, or it just doesn’t feel like how we would fly, how I would fly a plane. Basically, at a certain altitude maybe you’re descending, but you’re descending to go somewhere.” 

    “It’s just kind of willy nilly flying around,” said Lehto. “It just kind of gives me more of an organic rather than mechanical feeling.” 7

    After completing his own analysis of the footage, Lehto provided The Debrief with several additional details that stood out to him, which have led him to conclude the objects display characteristics that appear to defy explanation. 

    “The tracking rate is exceptionally fast,” Lehto told The Debrief. “Even if they are only a mile away, I calculate they go approximately 1.28M. Well past the speed of sound.” 

    And according to Lehto, the unusual circular flight path the objects demonstrate near the end of the footage is the strangest aspect of the film.  

    “The circle-dance maneuver is just not possible,” Lehto said. “They do a full 360-degree turn in less than 3 seconds!”

    The former fighter pilot expressed confidence that an F-16 is indeed capable of turning at incredible speeds. According to Lehto, “in a level turn, at Mach 0.8, 7 Gs, and 14 deg/sec, the F-16 could turn 360 degrees in about 26 [seconds].” 

    But in Lehto’s opinion, no F-16—nor any drone or other aircraft in the current known inventory of the United States military—is capable of what the objects are seen doing in the video. He judges that they display “a turn rate that is an order of magnitude faster than one of the fastest turning fighters on earth,” which he estimates to be above 70 Gs.  

    “I’ve analyzed the video,” Lehto told The Debrief, concluding “it is without a doubt anomalous.” 

    The Debrief also spoke with former US Navy F/A-18 pilot Ryan Graves, who was one of the witnesses to the now-famous UAP encountered by Navy personnel aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt between the summer of 2014 and early 2015.  

    In a phone call, Graves said that at times the unknown objects pilots were encountering off America’s east coast during training exercises at the time would engage in similar bizarre, “non-mechanical” maneuvers. 

    “It’s hard to describe exactly, but sometimes they would appear to behave erratically. Like group together or change positions while in formation in ways that you wouldn’t see aircraft behave,” said Graves. 

    “This was in three-dimensional space too. Not just their vector, but sometimes they would also abruptly change altitude.” 

    To reinforce the need for a UAP task force within DHS, Thompson provided a copy of another 40-minute long UAP video to the nonprofit Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), an organization comprised mainly of scientists from various fields who are engaged in the study of aerial phenomena. 

    Popularly referred to as the “Rubber Duck,” the video taken from a DHS surveillance aircraft shows a misshapen object steadingly flying along near America’s southern border with Mexico. 

    Records reviewed by The Debrief verified Thompson had made supervisors at DHS aware of his UAP related side-project, as well as the fact that he had provided the purported UAP footage to the SCU for analysis. 

    “I’ve seen things,” Thompson said. I’ve seen things myself, but unfortunately, I’ve never been able to hit the record button, or have something that was just going to be mind blowing for people.” 

    “But this one, the ‘rubber duck video’ I thought displayed some really unique characteristics that I couldn’t explain. To me, it didn’t resemble a balloon [and] it didn’t resemble a drone.” 

    Skeptic Mick West has expressed the view that the object in the “Rubber Duck” video might nonetheless be a drone or runaway mylar balloon, although he acknowledges that conclusive identification based on information in the video alone would be difficult. 

    “We really don’t know what it is and we probably won’t ever know what it is,” West said in a video on his YouTube channel

    The Debrief reached out to the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies for comment about the footage, and although the video was pending analysis by an SCU team member, the results of that study had not been completed and made publicly available at the time of publication. 

    Previously, the SCU conducted an analysis of a separate video originating from within the DHS, filmed over the Rafael Hernandez airport at Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, on April 25, 2013, and obtained by the group later that year.  

    According to the official who provided the footage to the SCU, who chose to remain anonymous, but whose background information was vetted prior to the analysis, the object appearing in the video produced no squawking transponder signal which would have alerted air traffic control nearby about its presence over the airport. 

    “Fortunately an airborne U.S. Customs and Border Protection aircraft captured the object on infrared video,” a portion of an extensive report on SCU’s findings states. 

    Rich Hoffman, an executive board member of SCU who has worked professionally as a defense contractor for more than two decades, says that analysis revealed characteristics about the object that weren’t easily explained. 

    “It doesn’t have any kind of thermal signature that you would expect,” Hoffman says, who noted that the characteristics displayed by the object in the footage are not consistent with how a balloon or bird would normally appear through thermal imaging systems. 

    “We got its flight path nailed down,” Hoffman says, adding that SCU “deduced that the speed varied… from about 80 to 85 miles per hour.” Hoffman also notes that the SCU had to account for the parallax effect regarding the object’s movement, which can give the appearance of a faster-moving object due to its relationship with the background based on the camera angle. 

    “It was a relatively small object,” Hoffman adds, noting that SCU’s analysis determined it had likely been between two and three feet in diameter. The SCU’s complete analysis can be read online at its website.

    Thanks in part to the Department of Defense and Congress’s continued interest in collecting data on UAP, things seemed to be progressing–albeit at a snail’s pace typical of government bureaucracy–in Thompson’s attempt to establish similar efforts within the DHS.

    However, following unforeseen medical circumstances, Thompson suddenly found himself facing early retirement from his more than 20 years of combined federal service. 

    Fearing his efforts to have a formal process within DHS to collect and investigate UAP incidents might see additional setbacks, Thompson took action similar to others who have faced such obstacles related to the often taboo topic: he chose to publicly release some of the videos he had obtained showing DHS or military encounters with UAP.

    “The videos aren’t classified and they don’t have any nexus to anything related to smuggling,” Thompson emphasized. “So they fit in this weird gray area that Border Patrol really didn’t care about.” 

    “When I got the very first video, the rubber duck video, I asked him (my boss) directly, ‘is there any reason why I can’t share this with anyone?’ Thompson told The Debrief. And he told me point blank, ‘No.’”

    After obtaining permission to share the videos, to raise public awareness Thompson reached out to Andy Marcial, who runs a UAP-related Instagram account called NY UAP Discussions

    “I’ve always helped out the little guy, that’s always been something that’s been instilled in me from an early age,” said Thompson. “And, you know, I looked at Andy as a little guy, you know, when it came to the UFO community. That was why, you know, I reached out to Andy to see if he wanted to get these videos out.” 

    Marcial told The Debrief that he had been surprised when Thompson reached out to him with the footage. 

    “At first I was reluctant to believe it. Of all the people, why me?” Marcial said in a call with The Debrief, chuckling as he described the first time Thompson reached out to him. “After seeing the videos though, I realized that this was something very important. That people needed to see it.” 

    Marcial, choosing to release three of the DHS videos he received, gave them the titles “Rubber Duck,” “A-10,” and “La Bruja.”  

    What the objects depicted in the videos actually represent remains a matter of debate. What can be verified is that each was captured using sophisticated aircraft imaging systems, and that the pilots or aircrews had no explanation at the time for what was seen. Categorically, the objects in the videos simply remain unidentified. 

    The videos were among the first to be made publicly available showing purported UAP encounters captured by government systems since three similar videos, obtained by U.S. Navy personnel, were released in late 2017. 

    To his surprise, Marcial also found himself a target of criticism, on account of both the interpretation by some that the videos might convey balloons or other prosaic objects, as well as apparent suspicions over Marcial’s relatively recent entry into the online “UFO community.” 

    “It was a massive disappointment,” Marcial said. “It was really hard to try and do the right thing and get this stuff out there, then have people act like they were upset or start criticizing me.” 

    Marcial says he doesn’t ultimately know what UAP represents, but that the implications could be seismic; so long as the potential remains for exotic possibilities. 

    “There is too much negativity in the world, too much hate, too much fighting, too much bickering, and way too little love, empathy, and unity,” Marcial says.  “Maybe if we found out we aren’t alone in the universe it would change perspectives and views so that the next generation will usher in a new era for mankind.” 

    Undeterred, Marcial hopes that further releases like the Apache video and further inquiries by lawmakers and government officials will motivate others to take the subject of UAP seriously. 

    “I would like for academics, scientists, and the general public to not only take the subject seriously, but also understand that there could be more to reality than what we currently comprehend,” Marcial says.  

    “We need to study and investigate this phenomena to not only understand UAP, but also reality as a whole.” 

    More than any personal interest he had in UAP, Thompson says what drove him to begin collecting information about what his fellow DHS employees were seeing had been a lack of any formal reporting structure for such sightings. 

    “Guys are seeing stuff and they didn’t have a means to report it,” he says. “And that’s what brought me more into this than anything.”

    Thompson hopes that exposing UAP encounters, like the one recorded by Apache helicopter pilots showing airborne objects performing unlike any known aircraft, may further encourage government officials to take UAP incidents seriously.

    “It’s been such a taboo subject for so long, especially in the law enforcement community, especially in the military community,” Thompson says. “I don’t care if it’s a UFO or a Chinese drone, it should get reported to the correct authorities.”

    Speaking on background, three separate U.S. defense officials familiar with the government’s current UAP investigations said the encounter by the Apache pilots in 2018 was not reported to either the UAP Task Force, or its sucessor program, the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG). 

    Defense officials The Debrief spoke with said the lack of knowledge was likely due to the fact that new UAP reporting procedures were still being formalized in 2018. Likewise, the officials said the incident highlights how problems still exist in trying to coordinate centralized UAP reporting practices amongst all government agencies. 

    “It definitely appears to be anomalous,” said one senior defense official who viewed the Apache video and was familiar with the work of the UAP Task Force. “If it had been reported right after it occurred the task force could have likely been able to obtain significantly more data,” the source told The Debrief.

    When provided with the analysis by former F-16 pilot Chris Lehto of the Apache incident, the same defense official said they considered it a “great analysis.” 

    A recently retired senior U.S. Air Force officer agreed to examine the Apache video, under the condition of anonymity. 

    The Air Force officer, a former pilot that has held various command and staff positions throughout their career, said the objects seen in the video “did not seem to comport with the flight characteristics of any known aircraft platform, although more analysis is needed to confirm this.”

    “I’m not going to get into specifics, but unequivocally, I know for a fact that the government has some extremely compelling evidence on UAP. Much more significant than what has been released so far, including the examples provided during the recent public Congressional hearing,” the former Air Force Officer also said. 

    “This Apache video appears to show UAP behaving in ways that suggest non-mechanical flight. It would be interesting to know if there is other evidence that demonstrates UAP behaving in ways that are inconsistent with mechanical flight.” 

    The Department of Defense has consistently declined to discuss any details about specific UAP incidents. The Customs and Border Patrol Public Affairs Office did not respond to several  requests by The Debrief for comment. 

    As for the videos, Thompson says they are just a small sample of the types of “unidentified” things National Guard pilots, CBP agents and other DHS personnel regularly encounter during the course of their duties. 

    Despite the wide range of expertise he and his fellow agents develop during the extended hours they spend using the most state-of-the-art equipment available to them, Thompson says they still cannot determine what they are seeing in these videos.

    “Our guys are out there every day for, you know, 12 hour shifts, staring at that screen, trying to scrutinize a cow from a jackrabbit to a person walking to a bird flying in the sky, to a ultralight, to a helicopter, to the A-10s,” says Thompson.

    “I personally have 1000s of hours behind the screens,” Thompson says. “So, if I see something and I don’t know what it is?” 

    He pauses, weighing his words with a care and discernment evident of man with Thompson’s many years in official service. 

    “I’m telling you,” he finally says, “it’s got me stumped.”

    “Wind-Ruffled Waves, Foam and Wave Shadows, Above Natural Blue Seawater.” This is how we’ll Spot Exoplanets With Oceans

    Our planet’s oceans generate tell-tale light signatures when sunlight reflects off them. Exoplanets with significant ocean coverage may do the same. Can we use the Earth’s reflectance signatures to identify other Earth-like worlds with large oceans?

    We should be able to, eventually.

    A new study examined light signatures reflecting off of Earth’s oceans and explored their flux and polarization. The researchers modelled two Earths: a dry planet and a wet planet with Earth-like clouds and atmosphere. Then they simulated how light would reflect from those planets in different conditions. They found that only an ocean can cause the polarization of light to dip in specific ways.

    The study is titled “Ocean signatures in the total flux and polarization spectra of Earth-like exoplanets.” The journal Astronomy and Astrophysics will publish it, but it’s currently available online at the pre-press site arxiv.org. The authors are V.J.H. Trees and D.M. Stam. Trees is from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, and Stam is from the Delft University of Technology.

    Scientists have found water vapour on exoplanets, but it’s detected spectroscopically when the planet is in front of its star and the starlight passes through the atmosphere. Those observations revealed the molecular signature of water, but there’s currently no way of knowing if there’s an ocean. “… actual observations of liquid water oceans are only possible using a direct detection of the starlight that is reflected by the planet,” the paper states.

    Some scientific estimates show that up to one-quarter of known exoplanets have oceans, though much of that water may be in subsurface oceans. In our Solar System, only planet Earth has surface oceans. Multiple moons in the Solar System have subsurface oceans, and some of the dwarf planets probably do too.

    We’re not close to detecting subsurface oceans on exomoons, but as telescope technology advances, we may be able to detect oceans on planets similar to Earth. As the authors of this paper write, “Numerical simulations of starlight that is reflected by Earth-like exoplanets predict habitability signatures that can be searched for with future telescopes.”

    The researchers computed three things in their numerical exoplanet simulations: total flux (F), polarized flux (Q) and degree of polarization (Ps). They modelled the oceans in a particular way. “The oceans consist of Fresnel reflecting surfaces with wind-ruffled waves, foam and wave shadows, above natural blue seawater,” they explain. Fresnel reflecting is when the reflected light is in the same plane as the incident light. It’s also called parallel polarization, named after Augustin-Jean Fresnel. He invented a lens used in lighthouses that focuses light into a narrower beam.

    Measuring the polarization of light from oceans is important because starlight isn’t expected to be polarized. Also, while light signals degrade with distance, the degree of polarization doesn’t. Unfortunately, astronomers can’t measure ocean-reflected polarization yet. “Current ground-based and space-based telescopes are not capable of measuring the polarized light that is reflected by Earth-like exoplanets,” the authors explain.

    But that will change.

    The upcoming European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), and the Large Ultraviolet Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR), a space telescope concept being developed by NASA, will both be able to measure polarized light. Numerical models like the ones in this study will be used to design the instruments and observation procedures needed to sense the polarization of light reflected by exo-oceans.

    One of the main takeaways from this work concerns the degree of polarization or Ps. The image below compares the Ps for cloud-free dry planets vs cloud-free ocean planets.

    This figure from the study compares the degree of polarization of reflected starlight from cloud-free dry planets vs. cloud-free ocean planets. In the left column, as is surface albedo, where 0.0 and 0.1 are dark surfaces and 0.8 is a bright surface. In the right column, v is wind speed. 13 m/s is about 47 km/h and 1 m/s is about 3.6 km/h. Each separately coloured line is a different phase angle. Image Credit: Trees and Stam, 2022.

    The main takeaway is that Ps only dips in certain circumstances, which can be measured. As the authors point out, “Dips in Ps are only observed for ocean planets and only when the glint is cloud-free.” That’s a simplified summary of their results, but it shows that they’re onto something.

    If—or hopefully when—we discover an exoplanet with an ocean, it’ll be a landmark event. The space science community is pretty confident they’re out there and hold a strong possibility of supporting life. Hints of exo-oceans turn up when scientists measure an exoplanet’s density vs its size. But as it stands, there’s no way of knowing for sure if we’re detecting a surface ocean.

    These researchers have been working on the problem of detecting exo-oceans for a while now and have published other papers tackling the issue. If their simulations are correct, we may be developing a reliable way of detecting ocean worlds at great distances. The E-ELT is due to see first light around 2027 and it will be capable of detecting polarized starlight reflected from oceans.

    Maybe we’ll have our first confirmed ocean exoplanet not too long after.

    Guy catches huge structure in crater on Moon by accident, Video, UFO Sighting News.


    Date of sighting: May 23, 2022
    Location of sighting: Earths moon
     
    Here is an awesome shot of the moon using a telescope. The youtuber Video Adventures was recording a casual video of the moon, but at the 55 second mark a crater appears with a triangle structure at its center. You would think that enough, but its not, as I looked closer, I noticed there is a shadow below the triangle. The object is about 200-400 meters above the floor of the crater! Absolutly awesome raw footage of a UFO in a crater.

    UAP Seen Over Chicago, Illinois O'hare Airport On May 26, 2022, Video, UFO Sighting News.


    Date of sighting: May 26, 2022

    Location of sighting: Chicago, Illinois, USA
     
    The eyewitness said he looked up and saw this white object moving across the sky coming from the O'Hare Airport in the evening. When I looked closely at his video, I saw other white objects in it, so this looks  like a whole fleet. This one white UAP is closer than the others. Its white, oval and cloud like because white is the color that the semi cloaked craft take on when in the sky, so they are easily seen when the sky is blue in a sky with few clouds.

    'I do not have an explanation': Pentagon video of unidentified object, May 27, 2022, UFO Sighting News.



    Date of Meeting: May 26, 2022
    Location of announcement: US Pentagon
    Date of UFO video being seen: Jan 2021
     
    Now I have reported again and again these metallic spheres on my website. I would estimate over 400 reports of such objects, one of which was recent where I reported half a dozen metallic spheres over California on Google Earth map...yet the video I made goes ignored by the press. Each time I report a sphere UFO, regardless of its source, quality of video or evidence...it goes ignored by world news. For some unknown reason, a sphere UFO has no appeal to the press. Thats fine. I even stood two meters from a sphere UFO on the 8th floor roof of my apartments in Taipei a few years ago. Even if the press ignores such UFOs, I sure as hell wont and the public still takes them very seriously. Sphere UFOs are being considered by the US House Subcommittee and therefore are 100% proof that such UFOs not only exist, but are seen as a threat to US national security. I will put a video of similar UFOs I found on Google Earth and kept for over ten years before I released the info this year to the public. 
     
    Now the Pentagon is being pushed by some US gov officials to come clean about the existence of UFOs and intelligent alien species. This will never happen. Why? There are rules in place that will protect the government from such leaks. Anything that is the smallest little threat to National Security...is kept secret forever! Thus, the Pentagon tries to go through the motions (acting) like they want transparency, however they do not. They are only drip feeding you bits of nothing, which the public laps up and shows excitement for...so you think you have something big, but it's only a crumb of info from the whole pie they hide from you.
