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.

    Nick Pope's Missing Tollbooth experience part two - Please Share.
    I'm sick of Nick Poop and I recently posted the full inside story on his own 'missing time' encounter in 1991 which he now of course denies. This is the follow up to that first part which I have been asked to post so here you are:
    By Philip Mantle
    Kan een afbeelding zijn van 2 mensen
    Pretty much everyone in the UFO community will know of Nick Pope and his claims that from 1991-1994 he ran the UK governments ‘UFO PROJECT’, was the UK government’s ‘UFO expert’ and investigated UFOs, crop circles and alien abductions for the UK Ministry of Defence. These are his exact words from his own website:
    Nick Pope ran the British Government’s UFO project. From 1991 to 1994 he researched and investigated UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles and other strange phenomena, leading the media to call him the real Fox Mulder. Nick Pope ran the British Government’s UFO project. From 1991 to 1994 he researched and investigated UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles and other strange phenomena, leading the media to call him the real Fox Mulder.
    Let’s make things quite clear before we move on. According to the Ministry of Defence, Nick Pope’s previous employers, none of this is true. Below is one document from the UK National Archives which quickly puts the record straight. There are many other documents that once viewed can only leave one outcome is that The MoD are right and Nick Pope is not. He did none of these things.
    Nick Pope claims that before he took this job at the MoD that he was a complete skeptic and that because of the UFO cases he ‘investigated’ etc he eventually became a believer. He claims he had no prior knowledge of experience of the UFO phenomenon.
    In 2021 I wrote a lengthy article detailing that once again Nick Pope was using a very large degree of ‘artistic licence’ when he came to his claim that he had never seen a UFO or had any kind of close encounter. The fact was that in January 1991 before he took the job at the MoD’s ‘UFO desk’ (a nickname for Air Staff 2A – the MoD department that handled public reports and or requests for more info on UFO sighting. It was not a ‘UFO PROJECT’) he did indeed have a, missing time’ or more accurately a ‘missing tollbooth’ encounter in Florida, USA. The basic story is that Nick was on holiday with his girlfriend and was driving on toll road with another friend asleep in the back seat. After a while they apparently found themselves reaching their destination with no recollection of actually coming off the toll road. In fact they still had their ticket which they would have had to use in order to exit the toll road. Nick was very perplexed by this and several years later he underwent regressive hypnosis in the USA. Here he recounted getting out of the car and entering a large object (UFO) but did not see any beings or aliens.
    Nick Pope admitted all of this to a group of UFO researchers in 1995 after a screening of the alien autopsy film in London. Other researchers have gone on the record that this story under his own name, was to appear in his first book ‘OPEN SKIES- CLOSED MINDS’ and UK author/UFO researcher Jenny Randles even read it in the first draft of the book. However when you read this book there is no sign of Nick’s missing time episode which happened in January 1991 a few months before joining the ‘UFO desk’. However, a few years down the line Nick Pope writes his second book ‘THE UNIVITED’ which deals with accounts of alien abductions and hey presto the story is there. Well not quite. Instead of it being Nick Pope and his former girlfriend it is now ‘Peter’ and ‘Jenny’. Pope claims these are false names for two witnesses that he interviewed and it is not him and his ex-girlfriend. All this despite what Jenny Randles read in the draft of his first book and the UFO researchers that Nick told the story to in 1995. He has made a variety of different comments about this but basically he says it was not him and it’s all a pack of lies.
    Well in early 2022 another gentleman has stepped forward to once again confirm that he was informed by Nick Pope that he had indeed had a missing time experience in the USA in 1991. This man is even featured in Nick Pope’s second book ‘THE UNINVITED’, the very same book where Peter (Nick Pope) and Jenny (Nick’s girlfriend) tell their missing tollbooth story.
    The man in question who has now stepped forward is Cris Martin and his girlfriend that is featured with him in ‘THE UNINVITED’ is Vaunda Hosick. Their accounts are featured in Chapter 13 under the heading of ‘INTERVIEW WITH THE ALIENS (page 205 – 221). Cris joined a discussion about Nick Pope of my facebook page and this is what he later sent me on email:
    “Hi Philip. As per our earlier discussion, my statement below.
    I first met Nick Pope on 1996 on the set of ITV studios morning daytime show "The Time, The Place". I was with my then partner Vaunda Hoscik. Nick was promoting his first book and was preparing for his next book and made it clear he was interested in interviewing us both for his next book "The Uninvited". We went to his flat in South London several times to be interviewed about our experiences and it was at one of these meetings he also chatted about his own abduction experience whilst driving in the USA with a female friend. He wrote about it under an assumed name in the very same book. He didn't want to come out as an abductee at the time as he felt it would undermine his reputation as an impartial researcher. We both respected his right for privacy and didn't speak of it again.
    Moving forward 26 years and the contextual climate has shifted. Pope has set himself up as a leading UFO commentator and public speaker. He claims to be a trustworthy commentator but his stance on whether aliens are real remains ambiguous. This is in direct conflict with his own missing time encounter. My opinion is that he cannot lie to the public any longer and must come clean. Pope cannot be regarded as trustworthy when he continues to deny that this incident occurred. I would also like to say I have no axe to grind or any grudge against Mr Pope, I just want him to stop lying and tell the truth.
    I can confirm that the details given are true to the best of my knowledge.
    Cris Martin, Jan 2022.”

    Philip Mantle I recently tried to contact Nick and was blanked by him for some reason. I used to know him quite well back in the 90s and some of you may remember myself and my then partner were featured in his book "The Uninvited". He also wrote the foreword to my book "Intruders in the night" published in 2000. He does not seem to want to talk about his own abduction experience for some reason. Comments I have made on his FB page about this have been deleted by him. If he would lie to people about this important event, then one must ask what else is he lying about?

    Conclusion:
    There is no doubt in my mind that Nick pope is indeed ‘Peter’ as featured in his book ‘THE UNINVITED’ and that he did indeed have a ‘missing time’ experience in January 1991 in Florida and later went under hypnotic regression There are many reasons why Nick Pope now wants to deny this is him, one being that it would make a mockery of him comments that he knew nothing about UFOs and had never had a UFO sighting prior to joining Air Staff 2A in July 1991. His story of being converted from skeptic to believer while working at the MoD would also go straight out of the window. As Cris Martin has made clear he has no axe to grind with Nick Pope and neither have I but the UFO community deserves the truth and the facts and it will be interesting to see what excuse Nick Pope comes up with this time regarding Cris Martin’s comments. To clarify where I stand I am 100% convinced that Nick Pope is indeed ‘Peter’ and he and his girlfriend did have a missing time experience in Florida in 1991. When you also look at the MoD documents at The National Archives there is also no doubt in my mind that Nick Pope did not run the UK governments UFO project as there never was one. He did not investigate UFOs, crop circles alien abductions etc on any official basis for the MoD and he was not the UK government’s UFO expert. And last but not least he is not anything remotely like ‘the real Fox Mulder’ he was instead, as the MoD have informed us, a junior D-grade civil servant and nothing more.

    Nick Pope and the ‘Missing Toll Booth Encounter’ - PART I
    By Philip Mantle
    I’ve known Nick Pope since he worked for the Ministry of Defense (MoD) in the UK. I still have a letter or two from him in my files when he would reply to enquiries I was making at the MoD. Nick has also spoken at UFO conferences I have helped to organise and we still keep in touch, however, it is more about football than UFO’s. I have no axe to grind with Nick and I have found him to be a very amiable and helpful chap over the years.
    With that in mind, I have had doubts about writing this article. I have decided to write this article in the hope it might clear up a long standing rumour and perhaps give us a better idea of why Nick Pope became interested in the UFO subject in the first place.
    WHO IS NICK POPE?
    For those who might not know who Nick Pope is, here is a brief cut and paste from Nick’s web site:
    Nick Pope used to run the British Government's UFO project. From 1991 to 1994 he researched and investigated UFOs, alien abductions, crop circles and other strange phenomena, leading the media to call him the real Fox Mulder. His government background and his level-headed views have made him the media, film and TV industry's go-to guy when it comes to UFOs, the unexplained and conspiracy theories. Nick Pope has consulted on and helped to promote a number of alien-themed movies, TV shows and video games. He has presented, consulted on and contributed to numerous TV shows, has written five best-selling books, and lectures all around the world. Nick Pope lives in America.
    Let’s dispel a number of falsehoods that Nick Pope has perpetuated. He did not run the British Government’s UFO Project. There never was a British Government’s UFO Project. From 1991 – 1994 the department he worked for at the MoD did handle UFO reports, etc. There was no “UFO Project”. Nick, unlike his predecessors, did put in a bit more work than they did, but that was by his own choice. He still stuck to the official MoD party line when dealing with enquiries about UFOs, and after his three years were up, he moved on. In total, he spent 21 years as a civil servant at the MoD. To confirm what I am sharing here, one can write to the MoD to inquire and confirm this information. I have also highlighted a couple of documents located in the MoD’s UFO files held at the National Archives that confirm this. (Fig 1 & Fig 2)
    Early on, when Nick Pope went public and was still working at the MoD, a rumour circulated and still does to this day, claiming Nick had been involved in a case of ‘missing time’ regarding a ‘missing toll booth’ encounter. After first admitting this to a number of people it appeared in his book ‘THE UNINVITED’ as someone else. Did Nick Pope have his own ‘close encounter’ and publish it under someone else’s identity or a fictional alias?
    CHRIS FOWLER
    I had heard this rumour myself many years ago, and heard it again in December of 2019. UK researcher Chris Fowler was discussing the alien autopsy film hoax on social media when he reminded me of this incident with Nick Pope. The alien autopsy was screened to a selected audience at the London Museum on May 5th, 1995. Chris Fowler, myself and Nick Pope were in attendance at this screening. What happened after this Alien Autopsy screening was very interesting. Chris Fowler said:
    After the screening finished and everyone had left the area the three of us joined a crowd of people heading for a near-by cafe to discuss what we had seen over a few drinks and something to eat. Those present were Reg Presley, the bass player from the Troggs, John Holman, Kent Jeffery, Colin Andrews, Nick Pope and a few others. At the other end of the cafe sat Rob Irving. After some suggestion from Matthew, Colin joined him for a short chat about crop circles which he later referenced during one of his conference presentations. Not wanting to miss out on this photo opportunity, Matthew took a few shots of them together in mid conversation with his zoom lens. It had been a good day for his camera!
    After everyone had eaten we all pulled our chairs around and had a joint discussion about what we had just seen and ufology in general. For me this was the part of the day I enjoyed the most. Reg bought everyone a drink and Dan said to me quietly that he couldn’t wait to tell one of his friends that Reg Presley of The Troggs had bought him a beer! We both had a great time talking to the bass player about the 60’s and what went on back then. Dan asked him the question, what was his favourite version of Wild Thing? “Hendrix’s of course” was his answer. It sounded like he must have had an amazing time back then, mixing and meeting all sorts of stars from The Beatles to Jimi Hendrix! What a place and time to end up talking about the 60’s music scene, more interesting than the UFO talk!
    This setting also provided a better opportunity to talk to Nick Pope. I found it pretty weird that here was the UFO man from the MoD having drinks with us and talking about UFOs, just like he was one of us (the MoD are the friendly enemy as far as ufologists go!). As far as Matthew was concerned, there was only one thing he wanted to ask Nick about - Rudloe Manor. “What do you know about Rudloe Manor and what does it have to do with the investigation of UFOs?” he asked. Nick’s answered “where?” Matthew then elaborated further, citing what Tim Good had written in ‘Above Top Secret’. Nick finally said that he remembered reading something or other but didn’t really know anything about it. A white elephant that place. We all thought, yeah, sure thing!
    While we were all talking, Nick came out with something that I found pretty weird, at least coming from him that is. He told us all that a few years ago, before he got the job at Air Staff 2A, he was on holiday with his girlfriend at the time in Florida and had what he described as a ‘missing road’ experience. He said that they were on a toll road and all of a sudden realised that they hadn’t passed the toll booth they would have definitely gone through. When he told us this he didn’t even say anything like “listen, off the record, something weird happened once whilst I was on holiday in Florida....” We were pretty amazed, especially when he also told us that he’d written a book on UFOs that was going to be published. Doing this would go on to make him one of the most well-known faces of British Ufology. Reg Presley I found to be a funny guy. At one point when Nick went to the toilet Reg turned to everyone and said, “when he comes back out, let’s say to him, tell us the truth about the MoD and UFOs or we’ll kick the shit out of you!”. Needless to say, the joke went down very well!
    A little while later everyone started to disperse. We headed back to Dan’s house in Stratford, looking forward to telling everyone about our eventful time in London. Alien autopsy, ufologist who works for the MoD and rock stars all in one day! “
    COLIN ANDREWS
    I decided to make a few enquiries about this myself. I don’t have the contact details of all those folks mentioned by Chris who were there that day. Reg Presley sadly, has passed away. However, I do have the contact details of one of those mentioned as being in the café that day of May 5th, 1995. That person is Colin Andrews. I sent Colin an email and a copy of what Chris Fowler had to say, and Colin sent me a reply of January 3rd, 2020. Here it is in full:
    “Hi Philip,
    Yes I was there with Reg and the others. I know something was said about Nick's own unspoken experience but unless I can locate my notes for that day, I would hate to rely upon my memory. Additionally, most are not aware that I was responsible for arranging Nick's first public appearance at a UFO conference. It was in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA at the MUFON conference. Early 1990's. During a quiet walk outside the venue with the State Director, our wives’ and Nick, I recall the question again coming up and an evasive side-step, not really answering what happened but acknowledging that something did. Worth saying here that around this time, the MoD had to clear ALL his public statements, including his first presentation I helped MUFON arrange.”
    I think it is fair to say that Colin Andrews has confirmed what Chris Fowler has said about the public statement made by Nick Pope on May 5th, 1995. Colin goes on to relate more details of Nick being quizzed about this and although he was evasive he did however acknowledge that something had indeed happened.
    DANIEL HARRIS
    Another of those that were present that day on May 5th 1995 and was at the café was Daniel Harris. This is a direct quote from an email I received from Daniel on January 27th 2020.
    “Hi,
    Thanks for your patience, been super busy for January. Hope the following helps.
    In 1995 I was a third year undergraduate studying for a BSc in Psychology at the University of East London. I had considered writing my final dissertation on the impact of ufology on the social sciences or possibly the alien abduction phenomena. At that point it seemed that it was mostly American academics writing in this area and I was making efforts to meet as many people connected with research as possible. I eventually decided against it as I had strong research leads in a different area and felt it was a risky subject to commit to.
    However, I did get to meet a lot of very interesting people who shared a deep, sincere and robustly academic interest in many of the same things as me, so when the opportunity came to attend a premiere screening of footage alleged to show the autopsy of a recovered extraterrestrial entity I was thrilled.
    The invitation came from my friend and researcher Chris Fowler. Strictly speaking I don't think either of us had a formal invitation so I may have suggested I was a journalist to try and secure entry to the event. It was immediately clear that the interest of many in the research community had been seriously raised. As hoped, we saw some familiar faces including Reg Presley and Nick Pope both of whom we talked to immediately after the screening and stayed for a round of drinks bought by Reg who was keen to discuss what we had seen.
    There remained a general level of scepticism about the footage itself as its provenance was never really established at the screening, the footage played, finished and everyone descended on Ray Santilli for answers but Ray fled!
    Chris, Reg, Nick and I were left with a small number of researchers talking in small groups and shortly after Chris and I had Nick all to ourselves. Speculation about the footage had quickly evaporated and we had moved on to more personal experiences.
    Now, my training kicked in. I knew when and how to shut up and listen. Nick was a very, very interesting guy and the object of a great deal of speculation and discussion in his own right. Having worked for the MoD up until 1994 and claimed to have been responsible for collating information about UFO's for the British military there was a huge amount of expectation about what he would be discussing and writing about in the future.
    Nick dropped a bombshell. I don't recall if Chris had met him before but I certainly had not. What he told Chris and I stunned us. In a wider discussion about our own personal experience Nick began to tell us a story in a quite casual, unguarded way. He described a vacation in the USA he had taken with a girlfriend during which they drove a lot. Describing the toll road system Nick explained he was certain he had a section of missing time between one road and another. His toll card clearly showed entry to one route but not to the one his friend and he found themselves on. The event at the time had been significant enough for them to be a bit shaken up. They had no explanation for the missing time or record of entry on to the toll road. Nick only seems to link this experience to the UFO/abduction phenomenon much later and by the end of his story he still seemed to feel the same sense bewilderment. Chris and I both had our jaws on the floor. We couldn't believe what he'd told us. He hadn't invited us to keep the information confidential and I think we both assumed he would be going public with the story in some form.
    I only wish I could remember more of the details of the story itself! I moved away from any serious interest in research shortly after but always remained sceptical of Nick's motivation for telling us the story. But, hand on heart, Nick told a very interesting tale that day and I'm sad if he feels he is unable to either recant or corroborate it.
    Sincerely
    Daniel Harris”

    NICK REFERN's new book:
    THE RENDLESHAM FOREST UFO CONSPIRACY:
    Page 25:
    Nick Redfern
    "The majority of the staff at the MoD who handled the UFO subject - Pam Titmarsh being a good example - were decidedly cagey when it came to the matter of getting chummy and chatty with ufologists. Matters began to change for the better in 1991. That was when a man named Nick Pope took over the reins in "the UFO office." He was refreshingly open - to the extent he could. So, on March 29, 1994, I decided to be proactive. I took a trip to London and had a face-to-face chat with Pope in a nearby bar. We found a quiet area where I could record the interview, got our cold beers, and began. Nick began by explaining to me funding for the MoD office - for UFO investigations - was tiny in the extreme. In Pope's own words: "There is no specific 'UFO budget', excepting the staff costs, i.e. around twenty percent of my salary, together with a tiny percentage of some other salaries, reflecting my line management's supervisory role."
    And that was it. Even the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book had a bigger budget - and that, back in the 1950's and 1960's, was hardly what one would call astronomical. On top of that, Pope quite openly told me that he never went out of the MoD building to undertake an in-the-field-type investigation: he would simply sit at his desk and take phone-calls or handle letters from UFO witnesses and flying saucer investigators. The reports would then be sent to an arm of the Defence Intelligence for scrutiny and explanations. It was hardly like the exciting scenarios we saw the X-Files began, which was just one year before I met Pope.
    From Nick Redfern on 3rd July 2010 via facebook:
    “Hey Philip, Saw your email. I'm on FB most of the day today, so easier for me to reply here. Yes, that's correct Pope didn't "run" any kind of UFO program. He just handled reports that were forwarded to Defence Intelligence for an explanation. Yes, I do know of the Toll Gate (toll booth) "abduction" case he had.” Nick Redfern added a bit more concerning Nick Pope’s role at the MoD: “yeah, he was basically a civil servant receiving phone calls and letters concerning UFOs and getting advice from Defence Intelligence. To me, that's not a "UFO project." (Fig 3)
    DR. DAVID CLARKE
    As you can see Nick Pope made this statement about the ‘missing toll booth’ in public and there were many witnesses to what he had to say. Not to disbelieve Chris Fowler I went on to contact some old friends and colleagues about this to see if they had any information as well. The first was Dr David Clarke. David and I have been friends and colleagues for a long time and although he has some very skeptical views on UFOs, especially the ETH, he is the man who worked tirelessly to have all the MoD’s UFO documents released to the National Archives in the UK and he is the official spokesman for the National Archives and the MoD UFO files and not Nick Pope. I simply asked David if he could confirm these rumours concerning Nick Pope. He replied in full:
    “The fact that Nick *is* Peter aka 'Terror at the Toll Booth' is confirmed by:
    a) it remains a fact that in the early drafts of his first book 'Open Skies – Closed Minds' Nick Pope openly described the experience as having happened to him. We know this is true because Jenny Randles was asked to review the early draft by the publisher and has written openly about this. Georgina Bruni, Pope’s close friend and colleague, took her to task for allegedly breaking witness confidentiality when this emerged in 1998 but this was just perfidy. The Sunday Times had already outed him as 'Peter' and he just looks ridiculous when he keeps denying the truth, 20 years later.
    b) if you have read Chris Fowler's account (and others) of what happened after the premiere of the alien autopsy film it simply confirms Jenny's account from (a) above. At that time Nick Pope was telling all and sundry he was Peter - among the witnesses were Kent Jeffery, Matthew Williams, Reg Presley, Colin Andrews and many others.
    The real mystery is why, after openly admitting this in public, he suddenly decided to deny it. I suspect it was because:
    a) he was forced to remove the story from the manuscript (Open Skies – Closed Minds) by the MoD reviewers because of the embarrassment value - but we will never know for sure because Nick Pope has gone to extraordinary lengths to stop his former employers from releasing the papers surrounding the clearance of his manuscripts under FOIA. However, one letter (DEFE 24/1985) dated 10 October 1995 written by Nick Pope to the division of the MoD that dealt with the clearance of his manuscript contains an interesting hand-written comment by one of the recipients. This note is one of the few to have escaped redaction and reads: “A great pity that a more permanent abduction by aliens cannot be arranged. I’m not surprised that they [Secretariat Air Staff – his former branch] didn’t want to keep him”. The context of this comment suggests a direct link to Pope’s ‘missing time’ story which at that point, 1995 remained intact in his original manuscript. (Fig 4)
    Andy Roberts, Chris Fowler and myself have tried to secure access to the files that cover the clearance of his manuscript using Freedom of Information requests. My own attempt went on appeal to the Information Commissioner who decided against release because Nick Pope invoked his rights to privacy and the Human Rights Act and wrote to his former employers asking them not to release this information even if they were minded to do so. Judging by more recent responses they have now destroyed most of this material in order to ensure it will never emerge into the public domain.
    However, if you read the PQ (Parliamentary Question) response to MP Norman Baker from 2003 (attached) you will see a very clear statement from a more senior MoD official who confirms there was no 'UFO project' and Nick Pope was regarded by his former colleagues as someone who was using his position to promote himself to the international media as the British government’s UFO expert when this was incorrect. This might explain why Nick Pope was keen to stop the internal discussions from emerging when the MoD released the bulk of their UFO files in 2008-2013.
    b) secondly, if you read the piece of investigative chronology that I compiled (Terror on the Toll Road, below), you will see another reason why Nick Pope was reluctant to discuss his experience in Florida. If he did so it would reveal that the legend he has carefully cultivated for years, namely that he was a 'skeptic' with no interest in UFOs when he was offered the Sec (AS) job in 1991, is not accurate. According to the account in his book The Uninvited Peter’s 'missing time' experience occurred in January 1991, six months before he claims he was 'sounded out for the job' [on the so-called ‘UFO desk’]. Yet he clearly had knowledge of and connections with ufologists before that time. I have found evidence in the National Archives files that Nick Pope had some interest in UFO reports as early as 1988 when he worked for the Naval Secretariat in MoD. In that year he passed information about a UFO sighting on the Isle of Wight to the UFO desk three years before he was offered the job on the ‘UFO desk’ (Fig 5 & 6)
    I suggest if you put all this evidence in front of a jury in a crown court they would, on the balance of probabilities, agree that Nick Pope is 'Peter'.
    Nick Pope has some serious questions to answer and simply being a celebrity does not mean you can evade them forever (unless you are Boris Johnson of course)....Dr David Clarke”
    I think it is fair to say that Nick Pope and Dr. David Clarke are not the best of friends, but I have known David a long time and I have no reason to doubt what he has to say. David also drew my attention to where Nick Pope is quoted in a book about this matter.
    JANE GOLDMAN
    In Jane Goldman’s book The X-Files Book of the Unexplained (Simon & Schuster 1995), the following section appears in an extended interview with Nick Pope: “…while Mulder’s desire is not just the truth, but also a resolution to the mystery of his sister’s disappearance, Nick Pope’s purpose is surely more straightforward. Or is it? ‘You could say that, like Fox Mulder, my interest is not purely an academic one and I’m driven by some personal motivations. My primary motivation is the intellectual belief that there is a genuine unknown phenomenon, and my belief in the people’s right to know, but a part of my motivation is a desire to explain some anomalous events in my own past.’…He is reluctant to go into detail but offers: ‘The very furthest I would want to go is to say that there are some events in my past which some people in the UFO lobby would say are some of the factors that are present in cases of abduction. But I want to stay on the fence until I know what happened to me.”
    YUFOS MAGAZINE AND JENNY RANDLES
    You can see here that Nick Pope uses the plural ‘events’. What events Nick? I’ve also outlined here an extract from the article from the YUFOS magazine and (Volume 3, September 1999) The ‘Peter’ Controversy – The Right To Reply. Here you can read in Jenny Randles own words how it was an open secret that Nick Pope is aka ‘Peter’ and the fact that he has indeed undergone his own experiences.
    From YUFOS magazine September 1999: (Fig 7)
    Jenny Randles………
    (Jenny had been accused of breaking witness confidentiality in revealing the true identity of ‘Peter’ in Nick Popes book THE UNIVITED). As such I am frankly livid at the suggestion that I have disregarded such ethics and – it seems the ridiculous charge is – that this was to gain publicity. You may care to know something I would not normally discuss but I seem to have to do this now in view of circumstance. Twice last year (1998) I was approached by major media sources but got the impression I would be expected to publicly identify ‘Peter’ in front of millions as a consequence. One is a TV show that I was offered a four-figure sum to work on and because I said no I will now not even feature as an interviewee. I do know the identity of Peter but declined to be associated with the things I was being asked to do. Three months after the above I was being publicly accused in Georgina Bruni’s gossip column on the internet for disregarding witness confidentiality – something your magazine now appears to reiterate. Does this make me regret that I said no to national TV exposure and a nice cheque that right now I could badly use to pay the mortgage (since I don’t get paid £50,000 to write a book). No it does not. I stood by my principles and always put them above money. Sadly not that many people in ufology are aware of how some silly twits like me seem to consider this sort of action a virtue in today’s money grabbing, fame and fortune society. As stared, I know for certain who Peter is. But ‘Peter’ asked me personally only this year not to reveal his identity in public and that I will abide by, of course. However, what I want to make abundantly clear is this. I have not gone behind anyone’s back and blabbed a confidential identity to the public. You need to understand what actually happened. Nick Pope himself revealed the identity of Peter to many people long before I did. As such I was not under any obligation nor any impression of witness confidence until that very recent request by ‘Peter’. Once a witness is publicly outed by the person writing his story I find it incredible that anyone can turn around years later and suggest it is somehow my fault if the media find out who this witness is. For the record, Nick Pope identified ‘Peter’ to a room full of ufologists in a London café in May 1995 – at least so several of them told me (indeed one who was there has already written up this story in a book!). In my presence Nick Pope shared the news with others at a UFO conference. I late 1995 I read the original manuscript of ‘Open Skies – Closed Minds’ and this told the story of Peter using the real identity of the witness. Several others read the manuscript too in 1995 and indeed were instrumental in setting up the hypnosis of Peter, which was in fact conducted by a ufologist, I gather, not a medical professional, at least if I understood correctly what was said by that ufologist in a public lecture before hundreds of people. As such the identity of Peter was common knowledge amongst quite a few folk, apparently thanks to Nick Pope himself, before even I even came to know about it, and it created a rumour sweeping ufology long before I said a word. I spoke three times face-to-face to Nick Pope between 1996 and 1998 advising him of this news and suggesting that I would not be selling the story to the media (despite several opportunities to make big money this way). He has long known that I knew. He knew how I knew (because I told him I had read his manuscript when we met for me to film an interview with him at the MoD in December 1995 – long before his book (Open Skies – Closed Minds) was even published – and indeed that night I offered suggestions to him about the text. He knew I felt it more than likely someone would tell the media soon. So I argued, you would be well advised sorting this out under your control. He told me on two separate occasions (and in front of witnesses – e.g. at the April 1995 Fortean Times conference) things like – if many people in ufology know who Peter is I don’t need to tell them, do I? And Peter’s identity will be revealed when the time is right. All fair enough, of course. It was down to Peter as and when this happened – if ever – and also Nick Pope for being the person who revealed Peter’s identity in the first place. But I truly fail to see how what I did was anything less than proper. Despite knowing who Peter was since 1995 I have said nothing during numerous media interviews when asked what I thought of Nick Pope. I did say something a couple of times in UFO circles - I admit – but after the book was out and the curious way the Peter story was being handled in public by Nick Pope became apparent. Also not until I became well aware of how various other ufologists knew Peter’s identity already via Nick Pope himself. So at no time was I responsible for deliberately breaking a witness confidence or disregarding the code of practice to expose the identity of Peter. I felt it not my place to out Peter to the media, so did not do that, but acceptable to comment to fellow ufologists, many of whom knew anyway and because I became concerned about the way Nick Pope was presenting this story and from this his stated disinclination to set the record straight. I was never at any time asked by Nick Pope to keep Peter’s identity secret, despite him knowing for four years that I was aware who Peter was and despite my speaking to him face-to-face on the matter several times during this period. Neither Peter nor Nick (who had my ex-directory phone number) made any attempt to call me, or write to me, or in and privately request that this matter was one they wished me to keep confidential. The first such request came from Peter only a matter of weeks ago – after the Georgina Bruni gossip column discussion about the matter this Spring. As for now, frankly, I have a hard time not coming straight out and telling you what I do know about the identity of Peter, given the way this has all occurred, the manner I have been scandalously accused of publicity seeking, and the extreme lengths I went to so as to play fair with Nick Pope and Peter. Whilst Nick is making money out of Peter’s story I have lost both money and opportunities by choosing not to do so. Yet somehow I am cast as the villain here. Incredible. But a promise is a promise and I will keep to it now that it has been requested – and the code of practice is a code that I chose to abide by. But I would appreciate people not jumping to conclusions. Unfortunately, Nick and Peter, that’s what happens when people only get told half the story. Best wishes, Jenny Randles.
    Here Jenny Randles confirms the public statement made by Nick Pope in the café on May 5th, 1995. Jenny also states quite clearly that Nick Pope also made other public statements about his own ‘close encounter’ at other UFO conferences and that it was a well-known fact among UFO researchers. Nick was now changing his story and saying that ‘Peter’ as outlined in chapter 12 of his book THE UNINVITED was not him but someone else.
    In fact Jenny Randles had already confirmed in the media that Nick Pope was indeed ‘Peter’. In an article in The Sunday Times newspaper on February 7th, 1999 Jenny Randles stated: “When I discovered that Nick had had an experience I was mildly surprised given his position as the government expert on UFOs. What surprised me more though is why he has never admitted to it before and why he chose to describe the incident as happening to someone else. Clearly, the truth really is out there.”
    Going back to the September 1999 issue of the YUFOS magazine, Dr. David Clarke also commented on the on-going discussion and accusations against Jenny Randles. David had this to say:
    Since I’ve been asked for me view on this tiresome nonsense; here it is. Nick Pope has a cheek accusing anyone of seeking publicity, as it seems to me his entire ‘career’ in ufology has been cleverly engineered to make himself as much cash and fame as possible based upon a pretty uneventful 3 or 4 years as a civil servant. Can’t blame him for that – I’d have done the same. But this whole ‘Peter’ business is a joke, and the only people fooled by it are the newcomers and the naïve. As far as I’m concerned it’s common knowledge that Peter is Nick Pope; it’s been exposed to millions via the Sunday Times, it’s in the public domain. You can’t have your cake and not eat it. The fact that Peter is Nick Pope was in the first draft of his book, and as Jenny says the man himself has told dozens of people over the past 5 years. Given those facts, he has no right to turn around now and claim otherwise, trying to turn the clock back and accuse others of being ’unprofessional’. As a journalist it is my code of practice that if someone is challenged and they say I can’t confirm, and I can’t deny’ that equals “Yes it’s true.
    Here David Clarke is referring to Nick pope’s comment in the Sunday Times article when he says he was unable to confirm or deny the allegations that he was Peter. Surely if Nick Pope was not Peter then here was chance to publicly deny them but instead he fudged it. Why did he do this. In the article Nick claims it was because ‘Peter’ had fallen out with his girlfriend and he didn’t want her to be involved. How could his girlfriend ‘Jenny’ be involved if Peter was not Nick Pope? Nick had a great opportunity to say that he could not identify the ‘real’ names of Peter and Jenny as they had wished to remain anonymous. But no, he fudged it instead. This was not the first time that Nick Pope had that opportunity to deny that he was Peter.
    PHILIP KINSELLA
    Philip Kinsella is a close encounter witness, author a public speaker in the UK and he too adds his own account of the discussion over Nick Pope’s own alleged encounter. This time it was at a TV studio and not a café in London. Philip Kinsella provided the following for me on January 3rd, 2020.
    In September 1998, I had been invited onto a live television debate broadcast by Carlton Television in Nottingham regarding UFOs. The program had been hosted by the Scottish presenter, Kay Adams and was to be a balanced view on the subject-matter. I had no idea at the time what the program had been called, until we’d entered the studio which had been littered with a somewhat negative audience. It had been titled ‘X-Files or X-Fools.’ I had been asked to attend by a producer who’d seen me talk on Channel Four, and thought I’d be a good speaker. I was joined by UFO investigator, Omar Fowler, along with Nick Pope, Georgina Bruni, Malcolm Robinson, Terry Le Richie Walters, Andy Roberts, to name but a few. After we’d taken our seats and the countdown began, Kay Adams began her introduction which seemed less than appealing, drawing more into the negative with regards to the UFO reality. A member from the audience firstly quizzed Nick Pope, (former Ministry of Defence) about him deliberately having a chapter retracted from one of his books, apparently dealing with a personal abduction Nick Pope himself had experienced. Pope merely allowed the man to rant on without either confirming or denying the said episode. This had been the first time I’d heard anything about these said allegations. I must state that both Nick Pope and Georgina Bruni, author of ‘You Can’t Tell the People’ had been very kind to me back then. If Pope’s experience is real, then I believe a great many within the UFO community would support him. After all, he is a man of integrity and kindness. “
    Although Nick Pope did not make any statements here regarding the allegations made against him surely it would have been the perfect opportunity to deny them on live TV. It does however show that the story of Nick Pope having his own close encounter and the fact that he had removed the details of this from his first book ‘Open Skies – Closed Minds’. Dr David Clarke and Jenny Randles had also confirmed this.
    A FORMER GIRLFRIEND
    If the above wasn’t enough I wanted to see if I could locate someone who was a friend of Nick Pope and was not directly linked to ufology. This I did by contacting one of his girlfriends from the late 1990’s. The lady in question is a well known author and broadcaster and I contacted her via email to ask if she knew about her former boyfriend’s missing time experience. I’ll not mention her real name instead I’ll refer to her as ‘Mary’. In an email I received from Mary on January 14th 2020 she informed me:
    Great to hear from you - but sorry to disappoint. Until I got your email I had completely forgotten about Nick's 'missing time' episode with his girlfriend. I do know she was indeed the daughter of some US government high-up, which I personally thought at the time to be important somehow in his UFO interest. All I can say is that he told me it did happen to them, and as far as I can recall, as you describe.
    I have met ‘Mary’ just once many years ago and have only on rare occasions exchanged emails with her. She does not appear to me to suffer from the ‘woman scorned’ syndrome so I have no doubt that what she has said in answer to my query about Nick Pope is in fact true.
    THE UNINVITED – Chapter 12 – Terror on the Toll Road
    I have a signed copy of this book THE UNIVITED by Nick Pope. It was signed to me and my ex-wife Sue. The first thing that I would say about the book is the statement on its front cover ‘THE GOVERNMENT’S UFO EXPERT’. Now Nick may say he had no say in what the publisher puts on the cover, but one is for sure he is and never was the government’s UFO expert. As I have already pointed out despite what Nick Pope says, there never was a British Government UFO Project therefore he could not be the head of it.
    Moving on, I think it only fair that we look at chapter 12 of this book as this is where ‘Peter’ tells his story. First off in the second paragraph on page 191 Nick states that: “Although there have been a number of anomalous incidents in Peter’s life, the only one he wishes to talk about for the moment is the one detailed in this chapter. Of course Nick Pope in his interview with Jane Goldman is quoted as saying “but a part of my motivation is a desire to explain some anomalous events in my own past. The very furthest I would want to go is to say that there are some events in my past which some people in the UFO lobby would say are some of the factors that are present in cases of abduction. But I want to stay on the fence until I know what happened to me.” A coincidence? Both Peter and Nick having anomalous incidents (plural) in their past? In the book ‘Peter’ is acknowledged as being British but at the time he was in a relationship with ‘Jenny’ and American woman. The encounter in question took place on January 3rd, 1991 during a holiday in Florida. They were driving on to Boca Raton on the Florida Turnpike. They had a friend ‘Sharon’ asleep in the back of their vehicle. The essence of the strange event that was about to take place is that ‘Peter’ and ‘Jenny’ suddenly found themselves on the outskirts of Boca Raton and they had not turned off the toll road at the exit they had on their map. In fact the money they had ready to pay their toll and the ticket were still on the dashboard of their car. Both Peter and Jenny realised that something strange had taken place and were both scared and puzzled. Upon arrival at their destination the couple talked a lot about what had happened but strangely did not mention it to their companion ‘Sharon’ who had slept through it all. Sometime after the experience Jenny returned home to the USA (she had been studying in the UK) and their relationship ended. A few months later the experience was to come back to Peter after reading a book by UK UFO researcher John Spencer. The book is called ‘Perspectives’ and deals with close encounters, missing time and alien abduction accounts. Peter was shocked to read of a similar experience to his in this book. There was a ‘missing time’ account in the book from a witness who suddenly was startled to see a sign post for home. This reminded Peter of the event on the Florida Turnpike. The book however mentioned an alien abduction scenario, and this scared Peter. Peter is said not to have finished reading the book and he was forced to reassess the incident on the toll road. Again, we must also return again to the interview that Nick Pope gave to Jane Goldman for her book; ‘The very furthest I would want to go is to say that there are some events in my past which some people in the UFO lobby would say are some of the factors that are present in cases of abduction. But I want to stay on the fence until I know what happened to me.” Is this not what ‘Peter’ says as well?
    Although the idea of alien abduction seemed ridiculous he had to admit that something was going on. Peter put this experience to the back of his mind and over the next few years he became increasingly interested in the UFO subject but felt no good reason why he should re-visit the incident on the Florida Turnpike in 1991. The book then goes on the say that Peter made a trip to the USA in the Autumn of 1995, but rather surprisingly there is no mention why he made this trip or what he went to the USA for. During the trip Peter was to receive an offer of regression hypnosis, aimed at getting to the bottom of the event on the toll road in 1991 with Jenny. Under regression hypnosis a quite extraordinary story is uncovered. It’s a long story so I’ll briefly say that Peter states that the car was slowly pulled off the road, his girlfriend Jenny was sat next to him and she was like a statue. The car was in a clearing of trees about 100 feet up in the air. The trees were illuminated by a light. Peter undid his seatbelt, opened the car door and literally walked in thin air. The next thing he remembers is that he stepped up to avoid a bulkhead. Peter was suddenly then in a metallic corridor which he described as being six feet high and three feet wide. His surroundings reminded him of a naval ship, something that he was moderately familiar with. There was tubular yellow lights on the floor. Peter found an opening to his left and he found himself in a rectangular room. The room was piled high with cardboard boxes that seemed to be full of junk. Peter wasn’t sure what was in these boxes, but some items seemed to be associated with road maintenance. Peter eventually left the room and returned from where had come and walked in this air again back to the car in the trees. Jenny was still sitting there motionless. Peter did not recall seeing Sharon. He got back in the car and it was returned to the ground spinning as it did. This made Peter feel sick and then the car was not returned to where they were on the toll road but on the highway outside of Boca Raton. When Peter came out of the hypnosis he was asked how long he thought the session had lasted. Peter thought it was twenty or thirty minutes, but he was told that it was almost one and a half hours. Accordingly Peter is said that he is not prepared to label himself an abductee, although he realizes this is an aspect that no doubt would be suspected by ufologists. Peter is not prepared to say that the corridor and the room were on a spaceship, and as has been stated he saw no evidence of any entities. Despite this, there is no escaping the fact that if the event occurred as Peter remembers, then he was taken – without consent – and subjected to a truly bizarre experience. There must, surely have been some purpose behind it” The last paragraph of this chapter is: “Peter’s subsequent recollections might suggest an abduction, uncertainties about regression hypnosis must cast doubt on this. And if these events did happen, there is no way to be sure whether they occurred in the physical universe, in the internal, psychological universe, or in some other reality about which we can only speculate.”
    What can we say about ‘Peter’ and ‘Jenny’s’ missing toll booth event? Well the first thing that I noticed was that Peter does not tell us why he was returning to the USA or even what part of the USA he was visiting. He was happy to tell us that in 1991 he was there with his girlfriend on holiday. So how come he can’t tell us why and where he was going in 1995? The oddest thing is of course was that during his trip to the USA in the Autumn of 1995 an offer of regression hypnosis was made to him. Is it only me that finds this a bit peculiar? I’m not aware of regressive hypnosis simply being offered to random British tourists entering the USA. Surely such an arrangement must have been made in advance or at least discussed. However there is no mention of how this offer of regression hypnosis came about, where it took place and more importantly by whom. In his account Peter also mentions the fact that the bulkhead etc reminded him of a navy vessel and that he had some familiarity with such. I would like to remind everyone that before Nick Pope worked at the MoD in London he worked at the Naval Secretariat in Portsmouth. Is this why Peter (Nick Pope) was familiar with naval vessels?
    PHILIP MANTLE
    So, Nick Pope has made these very claims in public on several occasions, the details were in the original draft of his first book OPEN SKIES - CLOSED MINDS which was read by Jenny Randles . The ‘Peter’ story and the missing toll booth encounter was published in Nick Pope’s book ‘THE UNIVITED’, however, ‘Peter’ is in fact Nick Pope. The story is also published in The Sunday Times newspaper and Nick is also quoted in Jane Goldman’s book. And last but not least we have a document signed by Nick Pope himself from 1988 showing that he already had an interest in the UFO subject prior to working at the MoD from 1991 – 1994 at Air Staff and dealing with UFO enquiries as part of his job. We also have an official document from the MoD clearly showing that there was no British Government UFO Project. Nick Pope had the opportunity on several occasions to publicly deny that he was Peter, in national newspapers and on live TV, but he declined to do so. When you read chapter 12 of THE UNINVITED there are several similarities to quotes that Nick Pope had given but now were being said by ‘Peter’. There is no mention of why Peter went to the USA in 1995 or which part he visited. There is no description of how the offer of regressive hypnosis was made, who conducted it and where. Then we have both ‘Peter’ and Nick Pope having a familiarity with naval vessels. All a coincidence? I think not. When you put all of this information there is only one conclusion that you can arrive at, Nick Pope and ‘Peter’ are one of the same. Of that I have no doubt.
    NICK POPE AND HIS REPLY
    With all this information to hand I had to ask Nick Pope himself what he made of it and give him the right to reply. Nick replied to my enquiry on December 18th, 2019:
    “Hi Philip,
    The story was based on a US abduction report that I investigated, but my (fictional) involvement was a 'barium meal test'. I do a similar thing in the manuscripts of my books, to identify any pre-publication leakers - the written version of a barium meal test is generally referred to as a 'canary trap'. Just some sneaky MoD techniques I picked up over the years!
    Best wishes, Nick”

    IN SUMMARY
    I have to be honest but to me Nick Pope’s ‘explanation’ for this simply doesn’t fit the information provided. For example why would you write the story into a manuscript, have Jenny Randles (and others) read this draft, and then remove it from the published book? Why would you mention it in public with a number of well-known UFO researchers there after the screening of the alien autopsy film? Why would you talk to author Jane Goldman about ‘anomalous event’s’ in your past? Surely Jane Goldman wasn’t in Nick’s ‘canary trap’ as well? No. Not at all. Now, you might not agree with me and like I pointed out right at the beginning of this article, I have no axe to grind with Nick, but his explanation simply does not add up. Of course I can’t prove this and at the end of the day only Nick Pope knows for sure the real story, but I think there is more than enough evidence here to say that there is certainly no smoke without fire and I am convinced that this is no ‘canary trap’ and that Nick Pope is indeed ‘Peter’ and that he has indeed undergone a close encounter experience (or possibly several). If this is correct then why would Nick Pope not admit it? Well, Nick likes to sit on the fence and to admit such a thing may spoil his appearance as a neutral observer and commentator. There are many reasons why Nick Pope might like to keep this under his hat and all I can say is if you want to know his reasons for doing so then just ask him.
    ‘Terror on the Toll Road’ - Timeline
    1985: Nick Pope joins Ministry of Defence (MoD).
    1988: Whilst working for the Naval Secretariat at MoD, Pope passes information concerning a UFO sighting on the Isle of Wight to Clive Neville on the UFO desk in Whitehall.
    1990-91: Christmas – ‘Peter’ and ‘Jenny’ take a 3 week holiday in Florida, Jenny’s homeland. Peter is British and has had ‘several anomalous incidents’ in his life; he met Jenny while she was studying in London. (Uninvited, p 192).
    1991: January 3rd: After spending the day at Universal Studios, Peter and Jenny drive back to Boca Raton via Florida Turnpike. They experience a ‘missing road’ experience en route. ‘…neither Peter nor Jenny had any knowledge of or interest in UFOs, other than a general awareness that the UFO mystery existed’ (Uninvited, p 195).
    1991: July 17th, ‘Sounded out for Owen Hartop’s job’ at Sec (AS) 2a. According to interview published in IUR ‘I had just finished various duties associated with the Gulf War and it just so happened that there was a vacancy which cropped up. Also in this office was a chap I had worked with quite closely…and he offered me the job. I was aware that UFO research was one of its functions’. Asked if he had any previous interest in UFOs he replied: ‘Very minimal. I had seen a couple of documentaries, read one Charles Berlitz book on the Bermuda Triangle. I knew very little about the subject and went in with a clean slate, so to speak.’
    1991: July 29th. Nick Pope began work on the ‘UFO desk’.
    1991/2: Peter and Jenny split up; Jenny returns to USA to go to university. The memory of the ‘missing road’ incident slips from their conscious memory but Peter is reminded on reading a book ‘a few months later’ which ‘he found in a second hand shop’ (John Spencer’s Perspectives). This contains a UFO abduction account involving missing time on a road.
    1992: ‘Peter put his own experience from his mind over the next few years, and while he became increasingly fascinated with the UFO mystery, he never felt any urge to explore what might have happened on that Florida Turnpike in 1991’ (Uninvited, p 197).
    1994: April – Nick Pope interviewed by Lawrence Moore for Network First TV programme on Central TV.
    1995: May 5th – Nick Pope attends screening of Alien Autopsy film at Museum of London. Afterwards he joins a party of UFOlogists at a nearby café. The party includes Chris Fowler & friend, Reg Presley, John Holman, Kent Jeffery, Colin Andrews and Matthew Williams. Fowler, in an account of the meeting, writes: ‘while we were talking, Nick came out with something that I found pretty weird…he told us all that a few years ago, before he got the job at Air Staff 2A, he was on holiday with his girlfriend at the time in Florida and had what he described as a ‘missing road’ experience. He said they were on a toll road and all of a sudden realised they hadn’t passed the toll booth they would have definitely gone through. When he told us this he didn’t even say anything like ‘listen, off the record, something weird happened once while I was on holiday in Florida’. We were pretty amazed, especially when he also told us that he’d written a book on UFOs that was going to be published.’
    1995: July – Nick Pope leaves Sec (AS), after 3 years tour of duty. Moves to financial secretariat. Replaced by Kerry Philpott as UFO desk officer.
    1995: July 2nd – Mail on Sunday reveals that Nick Pope has become a believer in ET visitors and is to publish a book on his work at Sec (AS).
    1995: autumn – ‘Peter’ made a visit to the USA. ‘During this trip Peter was to receive an offer of regression hypnosis, aimed at resolving once and for all what – if anything – had transpired on that toll road.’ (Uninvited, p 197) The hypnosis session lasted 1.5 hours and narrative emerged (p 199 of Uninvited). Peter not prepared to label himself an abductee but ‘he acknowledges that he had been exposed to information about UFOs and abductions prior to his regression.’ (Uninvited, p201).
    1995: December (?) Jenny Randles films interview with Pope at Whitehall. She also reads draft of Open Skies-Closed Minds ‘and this told the story of Peter using the real identity of the witness…several others read the manuscript too and indeed were instrumental in setting up the hypnosis of Peter, which was in fact conducted by a UFOlogist…not a medical professional, at least if I understood what was said by that UFOlogist in a public lecture before hundreds of people’ (Project Red Book, September 1999)
    1995: In Jane Goldman’s book The X-Files Book of the Unexplained (Simon & Schuster 1995), the following section appears in an extended interview with Pope: “…while Mulder’s desire is not just the truth, but also a resolution to the mystery of his sister’s disappearance, Nick Pope’s purpose is surely more straightforward. Or is it? ‘You could say that, like Fox Mulder, my interest is not purely an academic one and I’m driven by some personal motivations. My primary motivation is the intellectual belief that there is a genuine unknown phenomenon, and my belief in the people’s right to know, but a part of my motivation is a desire to explain some anomalous events in my own past.’…He is reluctant to go into detail but offers: ‘The very furthest I would want to go is to say that there are some events in my past which some people in the UFO lobby would say are some of the factors that are present in cases of abduction. But I want to stay on the fence until I know what happened to me.”
    1996: June. Open Skies – Closed Minds published.
    1997: June. The Uninvited published; book contains section on Toll-road case, chapter 12.
    1999: February 7th. Sunday Times publish article ‘UFO Hunter at MOD ‘kidnapped by aliens’, quoting Jenny Randles.
    Spring: 1999: Georgina Bruni accuses Jenny Randles of ‘disrespecting witness confidentiality’ in discussing Peter’s identity with the News of the World.

    The famous psychic Uri Geller says ‘massive alien invasion’ is coming - Paranormalium

    The famous psychic Uri Geller claims that the Earth is waiting for a massive invasion of aliens. He says he stumbled upon a conversation between “higher beings” 4,000 light-years away.

    According to dailystar.uk,Uri Geller warned NASA to prepare for a massive alien invasion of Earth, which will take place in the near future.

    Geller is confident that the giant energy source , which astronomers have discovered at a distance of 4000 light years, is most likely a message from “higher beings” from space.

    He believes that the aliens are already heading in our direction.

    The famous psychic Uri Geller

    He announced on Instagram: “A team mapping radio waves in the universe has discovered something unusual that releases a giant burst of energy three times an hour and it’s unlike anything astronomers have seen before.

    “No doubt in my mind that this is connected to alien intelligence way way superior than ours.

    “Start deciphering their messages! They are preparing us for a mass landing soon!”

    Astronomers said they have never seen anything like the mysterious new phenomenon before. They believe that it could be a neutron star or a white dwarf with a superstrong magnetic field (magnetar).

    Astrophysicist Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker of Curtin University in Australia said: “This object appeared and disappeared for several hours during our observations.

    “It was kind of spooky for an astronomer because there’s nothing known in the sky that does that.

    “And it’s really quite close to us — about 4,000 light years away. It’s in our galactic backyard.”

    NOTE:

    Uri Geller

    Uri Geller (/ˈʊəri ˈɡɛlər/ OOR-ee GHEL-ər;[1] Hebrewאורי גלר; born 20 December 1946) is an Israeli-British illusionist, magician, television personality, and self-proclaimed psychic. He is known for his trademark television performances of spoon bending and other illusions. Geller uses conjuring tricks to simulate the effects of psychokinesis and telepathy. Geller’s career as an entertainer has spanned more than four decades, with television shows and appearances in many countries. Magicians have called Geller a fraud due to his claims of possessing truly psychic powers.[2]

    Early life

    Geller was born on 20 December 1946 in Tel Aviv, which was then part of British Mandate of Palestine (now Israel). His mother and father were of Austrian-Jewish and Hungarian-Jewish background respectively. Geller is the son of Itzhaak Geller (Gellér Izsák), a retired army sergeant major, and Margaret “Manzy” Freud (Freud Manci). Geller claims that he is a distant relative of Sigmund Freud on his mother’s side.[3]

    At the age of 11, Geller’s family moved to Nicosia, Cyprus, where he attended high school, the Terra Santa College, and learned English. At the age of 18,[4]: 9  he joined the Israeli Army‘s Paratroopers Brigade,[5] with which he served in the 1967 Six-Day War and was wounded in action.[6][7] He worked as a photographic model in 1968 and 1969; during that time, he began to perform for small audiences as a nightclub entertainer,[8] becoming well-known in Israel.[9]

    Geller first started to perform in theatres, public halls, auditoriums, military bases and universities in Israel.[10] The parapsychologist Andrija Puharich met Geller in 1971 and assisted him in traveling to the United States.[11][12]

    Television and film career

    Geller became famous demonstrating on television what he claimed to be psychokinesisdowsing, and telepathy.[13] His performance included spoon bending, describing hidden drawings, and making watches stop or run faster. Geller said he performs these feats through willpower and the strength of his mind.[14] His apparent ability to bend metal objects during his television appearances came to be known as the “Geller effect” and made Geller a celebrity.[11] Geller’s actual methods were revealed to be stage magic tricks largely due to the work of magician and investigator James Randi.[15][16][17]

    In 1973, Geller appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, an appearance recounted in the Nova documentary episode “Secrets of the Psychics” hosted by Randi on PBS.[18]: 9’30″–11’34″  In the documentary, Randi says that “Johnny had been a magician himself and was skeptical” of Geller’s claimed paranormal powers, so prior to the date of taping, Randi was asked “to help prevent any trickery”; accordingly, the show prepared their own props without informing Geller, and did not let Geller or his staff “anywhere near them”.[18]: 9’48″–10’10″  When Geller joined Carson on stage, he appeared surprised that he was not going to be interviewed, but instead was expected to display his abilities using the provided articles. Geller said, “This scares me”, and, “As you know, I told your people what to bring”, and “I’m surprised because before this program your producer came and he read me at least 40 questions you were going to ask me”. Geller was unable to display any paranormal abilities, saying, “I don’t feel strong”, and expressed his displeasure at feeling he was being “pressed” to perform by Carson.[19] According to Adam Higginbotham:

    Nancy Grace Roman Will be Launching on a Falcon Heavy Rocket

    In 2026, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (RST) – aka. the “Mother of Hubble” – will take to space and begin addressing some of the deepest mysteries of the Universe. This will include capturing the deepest field images of the cosmos, refining measurements of the Hubble Constant (aka. Hubble’s Law), and determining the role of Dark Matter and Dark Energy in the evolution of the cosmos. Alongside its next-generation partner, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the RST will acquire infrared images with over 200 times the surveying power of its predecessor with the same rich level of detail.

    On Tuesday, July 19th, NASA announced that it had awarded SpaceX with a Launch Services (NLS) II contract to provide the rocket that will deploy the RST mission to space. As specified in the NLS II, the launch will take place in October 2026 (May 2027, at the latest) and consist of a Falcon Heavy rocket transporting the RST from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to orbit. This indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is valued at approximately $255 million and covers the launch and other mission-related costs.

    Previously known as the Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST), the RST was originally proposed in 2010 as a successor to Hubble. The proposal was based on the same design as Hubble, with a 2.4-meter (7.9-foot) field of view primary mirror and two scientific instruments. This includes the Wide-Field Instrument (WFI), a 300.8-megapixel camera covering the visible and near-infrared spectrum, and the Coronograph Instrument (CGI) – a high-contrast spectrometer that incorporates starlight-suppression technology.

    In May 2020, NASA renamed the telescope to honor Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, NASA’s first Chief Astronomer and a tireless advocate for space-based astronomy. By March 2021, NASA announced that the RST would be getting an upgrade with the addition of a K-band filter. This effectively expands the RST’s infrared imaging range to 0.5 to 23 micrometers – 500 to 23,000 nanometers (nm) – ranging from the near- to the far-infrared spectrum. With these capabilities, the RST’s science program will include dedicated investigations addressing several enduring mysteries in modern cosmology.

    These include the study and characterization of exoplanets, which will narrow the search for habitable planets and Earth analogs and complete the census of exoplanets. In particular, the RST will use its tremendous field of view to detect thousands of smaller, rocky planets that orbit closely to their parent stars – in their habitable zones (HZs). These planets will be designated for follow-up observations by Webb, which will use its extremely-sensitive IR optics to obtain spectra from their atmospheres and surfaces.

    Its powerful optics will also conduct the deepest surveys of the Universe to reveal the earliest stars and galaxies, which formed roughly 100 million years after the Big Bang. These scientific operations will complement the ESA’s EUCLID mission and allow astronomers to investigate possible causes of cosmic acceleration. Current theories include the existence of Dark Energy or Modified Newtonian Gravity (MOND), which states that General Relativity breaks down on cosmological scales. These operations will also address questions about the fate of the Universe, like if it will tear itself apart someday (the Big Rip theory).

    The telescope’s wide-field surveys will also enable new studies into the nature of Dark Matter and its role in cosmic evolution. Furthermore, the RST mission also includes a substantial general investigator program that will allow for further studies of astrophysical phenomena. This will enable opportunities to collaborate with other science missions and space agencies and advance other scientific goals. This is very good news for NASA, its partner agencies, and space-based astronomy fans!

    After years of waiting for James Webb to get to space and start shooting the most breathtaking and detailed images ever seen, it’s encouraging to know that the next next-generation telescope is not far behind. While delays are always possible, Roman’s comparatively simple design will likely make for a speedier launch schedule. It’s also good news for SpaceX, which has secured many high-priority and lucrative contracts with NASA in recent years.

    These include contracts to build the Human Landing System (HLS) for the Artemis Program – the Starship HLS – that will transport “the first woman and the first person of color” to the lunar surface by 2025. It also includes the launch services for the Lunar Gateway, which will consist of the core elements – Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) and the Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) – launching in 2024 (also using a Falcon Heavy rocket).

    Check this out. I found some structures in an old NASA photo and they are at the center of a crater. They look fungus in a way, but one is cone shaped. Still, I thought this detail of an alien structure is rare and just wanted to share it with you. The video I made below shows it in more detail and shows the full photo.

    Astronomers Have a New Way to Find Exoplanets in Cataclysmic Binary Systems

    Have you heard of LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Herculis and BK Lyncis? No, they’re not members of a boy band in ancient Rome. They’re Cataclysmic Variables, binary stars that are so close together one star draws material from its sibling. This causes the pair to vary wildly in brightness.

    Can planets exist in this chaotic environment? Can we spot them? A new study answers yes to both.

    Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) undergo large increases in brightness. All stars vary in brightness to some degree, even our own sun. But CVs increased brightness is much more pronounced than stars like our Sun, and they happen irregularly.

    There are different types of cataclysmic variables: classical novae, dwarf novae, some supernovae, and others. All types share the same basic mechanic. A pair of stars orbit each other closely, and one of the stars is more massive than the other. The more massive one is called the primary star, and it draws gas from the lower mass star, which astronomers call the donor star. The primary star in a CV is a white dwarf, and the donor star is usually a red dwarf. The red dwarf stars are cooler and less massive than the white dwarfs. They have masses between 0.07 and 0.30 solar masses and a radius of about 20% of the Sun’s. White dwarf primary stars have a typical mass of around 0.75 solar masses but much smaller radii, about the same as Earth’s.

    When the primary star draws material from the donor star, the material forms an accretion disk around the primary star. The material in the accretion disk heats up, and that causes increased luminosity. The increase can overpower the light from the pair of stars. If there’s a dim third body—a planet—in the system, then its gravity can affect the transfer of material from the donor to the primary star. These perturbations affect the system’s brightness, and that’s at the heart of the new study.

    The authors of the study show how the chaotic environments around CVs can host planets and explains how astronomers can spot them. The study is “Testing the third-body hypothesis in the cataclysmic variables LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Herculis and BK Lyncis.” It’s published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS.) The lead author is Dr. Carlos Chavez, from the Universidad Autónoma De Nuevo León in Mexico.

    Material drawn to the primary star gathers in an accretion ring and heats up, creating increased luminosity. But the material transfer to the disk isn’t steady; it rises and falls as the stars in the CV orbit each other. Chavez and his colleagues examined four cataclysmic variables in their study: LU Camelopardalis, QZ Serpentis, V1007 Herculis and BK Lyncis. The four CVs exhibit very long photometric periods (VLPPs), which are periods of enhanced luminosity that don’t conform to the binary’s orbital periods.

    There’s a point between both stars and the third body called the L1 point, or Lagrangian One point. It’s a gravitational equilibrium point between the stars. The L1 point is dynamic, and its position changes as the stars move. Lead author Chavez showed in a previous paper that a third body, a planet, can cause oscillations in the L1 point.

    As the L1 point changes, the amount of material drawn into the primary star—the mass transfer rate—changes. A change in the mass transfer rate creates a change in the luminosity of the entire three-body system.

    By measuring the changes in brightness of the four CVs, the researchers calculated the distances and masses of potential third bodies in the systems based on the brightness changes in each system. Their calculations show that the variations have much longer periods than the orbital periods of the stars. According to the team, two of the four CVs they studied have “bodies resembling planets” orbiting them.

    “Our work has proven that a third body can perturb a cataclysmic variable in such a way that can induce changes in brightness in the system,” Dr. Chavez said in a press release. “These perturbations can explain both the very long periods that have been observed – between 42 and 265 days- and the amplitude of those changes in brightness. Of the four systems we studied, our observations suggest that two of the four have objects of planetary mass in orbit around them.”

    This isn’t the first time scientists have tackled CVs and tried to find an explanation for the variations in the luminosity. In 2017 a separate team of researchers published a paper presenting the four CVs and their VLPPs. They suggested that planets were the cause. But they said that “… the third-body orbital plane should be greater than 39.2 degrees for this mechanism to be effective in disturbing the inner binary effectively.”

    “Here we explore a new possibility, namely that the secular perturbation by a low eccentricity and low inclination third object explains the VLPP and also the change of magnitude observed in these four CVs,” Chavez and his co-authors write in their paper. They say that “… a third body on a close near-circular planar orbit could produce perturbations on the central binary eccentricity.”

    According to Chavez, their work amounts to a new way to detect exoplanets. Planet-hunters find most exoplanets using the transit system. As an exoplanet transits in front of its star, there’s a detectable dip in starlight. While effective—we’ve found thousands of planets this way—the transit method has limitations. It only works when things are lined up right. We have to be looking at it from the side, as it were, or else the planet doesn’t transit the star from our point of view, and there’s no dip in starlight.

    But the method Chavez and his colleagues developed doesn’t depend on planetary transits. It relies on the intrinsic change in luminosity that’s observable from different angles.

    James Webb discovers the oldest galaxy in the universe - a 13.5-billion-year-old system of stars formed 300 million years after the Big Bang

    • James Webb discovered a 13.5-billion-year-old galaxy dubbed GN-z13
    • This galaxy formed just 300 million years after the Big Bang that occurred 13.8 billion years ago
    • The previous record holder, discovered by the Hubble Telescope in 2015, was GN-z11 that dates back 400 million years after the universe birthed 

    NASA's James Webb Telescope (JWST) has uncovered a 13.5 billion-year-old galaxy that is now the oldest in the universe seen by human eyes.

    The galaxy, called GLASS-z13 (GN-z13), formed just 300 million years after the Big Bang that occurred 13.8 billion years ago.

    The previous record holder, discovered by the Hubble Telescope in 2015, was GN-z11 that dates back 400 million years after the universe birthed.

    JWST captured a look at GN-z13 using its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument, which is capable of detecting light from the earliest stars and galaxies.

    This telescope uses a broad range of infrared light to 'see' back in time, which is  done by analyzing the time it takes for light to travel through space.

    While investigating the area are GN-z13, JWST also spotted GN-z11.

    Scientists from the Harvard and Smithsonian Centre of Astrophysics in Massachusetts note that although they are both old, each of the galaxies are very small, New Scientist reports.

    GN-z13 is around 1,600 light years across and GLASS z-11 is 2,300 light years.

    This is compared to our own Milky Way that is around 100,000 light years in diameter.

    The paper, published in arXiv, notes that both galaxies have a mass of one billion suns, which is because they formed shortly after the Big Bang occurred.

    The team suggests this occurred as the galaxies were growing and gobbled up stars in the region.

    'These two objects already place novel constraints on galaxy evolution in the cosmic dawn epoch,' researchers shared in the paper.

    'They indicate that the discovery of GNz11 was not simply a matter of good fortune, but that there is likely a population of UV luminous sources with very high star-formation efficiencies capable of compiling.' 

    Gabriel Brammer at the Niehls Bohr Institute in Denmark, part of the GLASS team and a co-discoverer of GN-z11, told New Scientist that further analysis will be needed to confirm the distance to the two galaxies.

    'They're very convincing candidates,' he said. 'We were pretty confident that JWST would see distant galaxies. But we're a little bit surprised how easy it is to detect them.'

    Brammer made headlines this week when he released a never-before-seen image snapped by the JWST.

    The astronomer shared a stunning photo of the spiraling arms of the 'phantom galaxy,' formally known as NGC 628 or Messier 74, which sits 32 million light years from Earth.

    Webb took the image of NGC 628 on July 17 and sent the data back to Earth where it was stored in the Barbara Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes, (MAST), which is open to the public.

    Brammer's image caught the attention of other astronomers and space enthusiasts, who wanted to learn more about how he made the image and what it was that they are looking at.

    'For a tiny bit more context, the purple color cast here is actually 'real' in the sense that emission from interstellar cigarette smoke (PAH molecules) makes the filters used for the blue and red channels brighter relative to the green,' Brammer wrote in a tweet.

    THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE

    The James Webb telescope has been described as a 'time machine' that could help unravel the secrets of our universe.

    The telescope will be used to look back to the first galaxies born in the early universe more than 13.5 billion years ago, and observe the sources of stars, exoplanets, and even the moons and planets of our solar system.

    The vast telescope, which has already cost more than $7 billion (£5 billion), is considered a successor to the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope

    The James Webb Telescope and most of its instruments have an operating temperature of roughly 40 Kelvin – about minus 387 Fahrenheit (minus 233 Celsius).

    It is the world's biggest and most powerful orbital space telescope, capable of peering back 100-200 million years after the Big Bang.

    The orbiting infrared observatory is designed to be about 100 times more powerful than its predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope.

    NASA likes to think of James Webb as a successor to Hubble rather than a replacement, as the two will work in tandem for a while. 

    The Hubble telescope was launched on April 24, 1990, via the space shuttle Discovery from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.

    It circles the Earth at a speed of about 17,000mph (27,300kph) in low Earth orbit at about 340 miles in altitude.

    Jinds Galaxies Just 300-400 MilWST Flion Years After the Big Bang, and It’s Just Getting Started

    By now, almost everyone has seen the first-release images from JWST and marveled at these amazing views of the infrared universe the telescope was launched to explore. The view of SMACS 0723 seen above illustrates the promise JWST holds. While there are many more early-release images in the observation pipeline, we’re starting to see the first research papers come out. As expected, studies of distant galaxies are grabbing headlines already.

    Wow, are these findings amazing! In the last couple of days, websites and social media have been alive with images of a blob that, in reality, is one of the oldest (earliest) galaxies ever seen. It’s one of two—GL-z11 and GL-z13—that show us what they looked like when the Universe was extremely young, about 300 million years after the Big Bang. When confirmed, they’ll mark a milestone in studies of the infant Universe.

    A Look back in Time and Across Space

    Thanks to JWST and its high-resolution infrared instruments, astronomers can now observe the earliest epochs in cosmic history. Of course, Hubble Space Telescope paved the way for some of this. For example, it provided the first look at galaxy GNz11. Now, JWST is following up with a study of that galaxy and the discovery of another one called GL-z13.

    GL-z13 is a galaxy in the early universe that appears as seen by JWST when the universe was only a few hundred million years old.

    These galaxies exist at a time that has been, until now, largely unexplored. So, a consortium of astronomers (led by Rohan P. Naidu of the Center for Astrophysics, Harvard & Smithsonian) proposed a JWST search for luminous galaxies in the first several hundred million years after the Big Bang (at a redshift of z > 10). This work was done as part of the JWST Early Release program and the exploration will likely continue for quite some time.

    The search revealed that the two galaxies—GL-z11 and GL-z13—are likely billion-solar-mass galaxies. That’s pretty remarkable given their presence in the early Universe, especially since the first stars began forming around one to two hundred million years after the Big Bang. These galaxies are also bright enough that astronomers will be able to do follow-up spectrographic studies to determine more about them. Computer modeling indicates that these galaxies are somewhat small and may well have disks in place, even at their young age.

    Based on the early observations with JWST, it seems very likely GL-z11 and GL-z13 have a population of hot, young stars (which would be very bright in ultraviolet light), and that each galaxy could be bursting with star-formation regions. These stars and regions should be very good candidates for follow-up observations using JWST’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph.

    Are There More of These Galaxies Out There?

    One exciting implication of this discovery is that these two distant galaxies in the early Universe may be just the tip of the iceberg. There could be many more in every direction JWST looks. Remember the excitement when Hubble Space Telescope (HST) performed its first deep-field study? It pointed at what looked like a fairly vacant area of the sky, looking to see what was “out there.” The observations revealed distant galaxies out as far as HST could see. Other deep-field observations in other directions in the sky delivered the same result. It turns out the universe is galaxies all the way out.

    So, if these two galaxy discoveries are any indication, JWST is about to explode our view of the infant Universe the same way HST did with its deep field observations. Of course, astronomers will work to confirm these galaxies spectroscopically. And, if what they promise plays out across the sky—with the discovery of at least two (and maybe more) galaxies at redshifts between 11 and 13 in every direction JWST looks—then we’ll be in for some interesting times. At the very least, this amazing infrared observatory is pushing the cosmic frontier much farther out, peeking beyond what we currently know. In the very near future, it could look all the way out to the brink of the Big Bang itself. Stay tuned!

    Guys, did you notice at one point a dark object comes out of the glowing object? Its like it produced something...a baby? Then this glowing object turns dark and flys back into the cloud. Very odd, some kind of energy entity living in our atmosphere among us. I have seen many reports of such phenomenon and long ago I got into world news when I noticed a video contained hundreds of similar glowing objects during a storm over a football game, sadly that video has long since been deleted by the uploader. Still, this close up is the best ever example I have ever seen since doing this blog over the last 15 years. Notice how the object stops glowing but continues to fly and move the same way but dark and black? Wow!

    Check this out! NASA just posted a picture of the day that happens to show an object which might suggest life exists on Mars. The object looks like a ball of strings, similar to a tumbleweed or worm-like animal. Its hard to say because this is only a photo not a video. We need video of this thing lasting a day so that we can determine what this is 100% but to me, my professional opinion is that this is some sort of tiny lifeform. The shape, color and fine testure all suggest this is not string since it has no tattered ends. It has a thin tangled body as if it is protecting itself while sleeping. Awesome discovery for sure whatever it is.

    Japanese Researchers Show how Microgravity Affects Astronauts’ Muscles and Nerves

    It’s well-known that spending long periods in microgravity can adversely affect astronaut health and physiology. According to decades of research performed aboard the International Space Station (ISS), like NASA’s much-popularized Twins Study, these effects include the loss of muscle mass and bone density, as well as changes to cardiovascular health, eyesight, organ function, and gene expression. There’s even the possibility that astronauts will experience mood swings and psychological problems while in space or during recovery here on Earth.

    According to a recent study by a team of Japanese researchers, one of the lesser-studied effects is how long periods spent in microgravity can damage the skeletal muscles that are important to maintaining our posture. This group of muscles – located mostly in our limbs, back, and neck – are rightly known as our “anti-gravity” muscles because they are load-bearing and allow us to stand upright and move against the force of gravity. This research and the countermeasures they propose could have significant implications for astronauts returning from long-term stays in space.

    The research was led by Dr. Yoshinobu Ohira, a Professor of space medicine at Doshisha University’s Research Center for Space and Medical Sciences (RCSMC) in Kyoto, Japan. He was joined by fellow researchers with the RCSMC, the Organization for Research Initiatives and Development (ORID) at Doshisha University, the Kindai University Faculty of Medicine (Osaka), Matsumoto University (Nagano), and Toyohashi SOZO University (Aichi). The paper that describes their findings recently appeared in the journal Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews.

    As they indicated in their study, the team reviewed the neuromuscular properties of the soleus and adductor longus muscles (and their respective dorsal ganglia) in astronauts who had spent extended periods in space. These muscles are located in the calf and inner thigh (respectively) and are responsible for load-bearing and helping us remain upright in normal gravity. When subjected to microgravity, these muscles are “unloaded” and have nothing to work against, leading to the gradual atrophy of their fibers and nerves.

    Their study considered how the neuromuscular system’s morphological, functional, and metabolic properties respond to gravitational unloading in microgravity and lower gravity environments. This consisted of running human and rodent simulation models and examining how motoneuron signals between the skeletal muscle and central nervous system (afferent and efferent activity, respectively) regulated neuromuscular properties. Their research appeared in a special issue titled “Space Neurosciences” that commemorates the Moon Landing (NASA’s Apollo 11 mission).

    Their analysis confirmed that these signals play a key role in regulating muscle properties and brain activity. This consists of a decrease in the structural unit of muscles (sarcomeres), resulting in a decrease in their development, eventually leading to muscular atrophy – as seen in the soleus and the adductor longus muscles. Their results indicate that exposure to low-gravity environments affects the muscles and nerves, leading to the deterioration of motor control.

    This is consistent with symptoms reported by astronauts upon returning to Earth, where they experienced difficulty walking despite regular exercise aboard the ISS – using treadmills, cycles, and resistance training. Their work also showed that additional challenges might arise when astronauts are exposed to microgravity for six months or more, such as they would be while in transit to Mars. In summary, their review indicates that existing countermeasures are inadequate when combatting the effects of gravitational unloading.

    Luckily, their research also points the way toward some possible solutions. For starters, they recommend stimulating the soleus muscle during exercise, which can be done by running or walking slowly on a treadmill with a rear foot-strike landing. Adding bungee cords for added resistance and periodic passive stretching of the soleus muscle also appears to reduce the risk of atrophy. This research could play an important role in developing appropriate countermeasures for future long-duration space missions.

    These include continued operations aboard the ISS, which were recently extended to January 2031 (according to NASA’s latest announcement). It will also come in handy as astronauts begin to conduct long-term missions to the Moon, which will entail the creation of lunar habitats – like Artemis Base Camp, the International Moon Village, and the Sino-Russian International Lunar Research Station (ILRS). Then there are the crewed missions that NASA and China plan to send to Mars in the next decade, which will involve 6 to 9-month transits.

    Ensuring the long-term health of astronauts is part of a constellation of research that will help ensure the health and safety of astronauts as we venture farther from Earth. This research is especially important considering that someday (perhaps sooner other than later) civilians and potential settlers will follow. If humanity’s future does lie in space, every aspect of living and working beyond Earth must be taken into account, and potential solutions devised.

    A Dormant Black Hole has Been Discovered Just Outside the Milky Way

    What happens when a massive star dies? Conventional wisdom (and observational evidence) say that it can collapse to form a “stellar-mass” black hole. Astronomers detect black holes by the X-ray emissions they emit.

    But, what if the black hole isn’t giving off high levels of X-ray emissions? Then, it could be a very rare object indeed: a dormant black hole. Not many of these have been seen. So, it’s exciting to know that a team of astronomers has found one. It’s called VFTS 243. They detected it in Very Large Telescope observations of stars in the Tarantula Nebula, in the neighboring Large Magellanic Cloud.

    Finding a Needle in a Galactic Haystack

    VFTS 243 is the first dormant black hole to be unambiguously detected outside the Milky Way Galaxy. While there are likely billions of stellar-mass black holes out there, dormant ones are much harder to find. “We identified a ‘needle in a haystack’,” said team leader Tomer Shenar, a Marie-Curie Fellow at Amsterdam University, the Netherlands.

    It’s not for lack of looking, and astronomers have searched. “It is incredible that we hardly know of any dormant black holes, given how common astronomers believe them to be”, said team member Pablo Marchant of KU Leuven.

    This newly found dormant black hole is at least nine times the mass of our Sun. It’s in a 10.4-day orbital dance with a hot, blue star 25 times the mass of the Sun. The black hole itself has about 9 solar masses. It’s considered dormant because it’s not emitting large amounts of X-rays. Normally, that would happen as material spirals into its accretion disk from the nearby companion star.

    This artist’s impression shows what the binary system VFTS 243 might look like if we were observing it up close. The sizes of the two binary components are not to scale: in reality, the blue star is about 200 000 times larger than the black hole.  Note that the 'lensing' effect around the black hole is shown for illustration purposes only, to make this dark object more noticeable in the image. The inclination of the system means that, when looking at it from Earth, we cannot observe the black hole eclipsing the star. Credit: ESO/L. Calçada

    Implications for Black Hole Formation

    Although astronomers know the general story about how a massive star evolves to become a stellar-mass black hole, there are many details of the process to explore. This discovery gives the team a new way to look at the black hole “factory”. Typically, a stellar-mass black hole forms as the core of a dying massive star collapses. However, for a dormant black hole, it’s not clear if the collapse was followed by a powerful supernova explosion. This new one may have taken a very different route to “black hole-hood”. In fact, there are some interesting clues that point to an alternate evolutionary path. First, it’s in a near-circular orbit and its motions indicate there was little ejected material from an explosion. In addition, there’s no evidence of a form of rebound called a “black hole kick” as the object collapsed. So, what happened?

    “The star that formed the black hole in VFTS 243 appears to have collapsed entirely, with no sign of a previous explosion,” said Shenar, who noted that the team’s discovery has implications for understanding the properties of core-collapse supernovae as well as gravitational-wave detections. “Evidence for this ‘direct-collapse’ scenario has been emerging recently, but our study arguably provides one of the most direct indications. This has enormous implications for the origin of black-hole mergers in the cosmos.”

    Calling the Black Hole Police

    There’s more than a bit of irony in this discovery since team members are sometimes referred to as the “black hole police.” That’s because Shenar and other colleagues have frequently debunked proposed sightings of other black holes. So, the fact that they searched for and found this dormant black hole is an interesting experience. And, their search took a while and a lot of data.

    To find VFTS 243, the collaboration used observations of nearly a thousand massive stars in the Tarantula Nebula. The data came from the VLT FLAMES Tarantula Survey, and team members used it to identify stars that might have black holes as companions. Because alternative explanations exist for such objects, identifying these companions as dormant black holes is extremely difficult.

    “As a researcher who has debunked potential black holes in recent years, I was extremely skeptical regarding this discovery,” said Shenar. His skepticism was shared by co-author Kareem El-Badry of the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard, in the USA. Thanks to El-Badry’s reputation as a skeptic, Shenar calls him the ‘black hole destroyer’. “When Tomer asked me to double check his findings, I had my doubts,” said El-Badry. “But I could not find a plausible explanation for the data that did not involve a black hole.”

    Next Steps

    Despite the nickname ‘black hole police’, the team expects very active scrutiny of their dormant black-hole discovery. They also hope that their work will enable the discovery of other stellar-mass black holes orbiting massive stars. As an example of just how plentiful these objects are, the team predicts thousands of them exist in Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds.

    “Of course I expect others in the field to pore over our analysis carefully, and to try to cook up alternative models,” said El-Badry. “It’s a very exciting project to be involved in.”

    Shocking Creatures That Are Not From This Planet

    The Animal Kingdom is full of surprising creatures. There’s millions of crazy critters and some nightmarish animals swiftly crawling around the face of earth we don’t know about. Some of the animals are fearsome whereas others may just look normal. Some of these may seem outrageous for having gigantic size and others may possess distinct features that make them look like aliens. Some animals possess sharp teeth or fangs or numerous legs while other can slither away at super speed. Most of these animals are considered to harmless to mankind.
