1.5 Million-Year-Old Alien Spaceship Found On Moon With Alien Bodies During Apollo 19 & 20 Missions
1.5 Million-Year-Old Alien Spaceship Found On Moon With Alien Bodies During Apollo 19 & 20 Missions
Official history tells us that 17 missions were launched between 1961 and 1975, of which 11 were manned (Apollo 7 through Apollo 17). During this time, 6 successful landings on the lunar surface were made. The Apollo 18, 19, and 20 flights were canceled due to the lack of new scientific value at the huge expense of the state budget and taxpayers. However, in 2007, Italian freelance journalist Luca Scantamburlo took a written interview with William Rutledge, who claims to be a member of the secret Apollo 20 mission.
According to him, he was an employee of Bell Laboratories and served in the US Air Force. Rutledge attracted public attention by starting to distribute photographs and videos of the Apollo 20 mission online in 2007 which captured the same spaceship and its pilots.
Alien Spaceship Found On Moon With Alien Bodies
What is the essence of the information from Rutledge? He claimed that during the Apollo 15 mission to the moon, an unidentified man-made object was discovered and photographed on its surface.
During missions 16 and 17, several more photographs were taken and reconnaissance of the terrain from orbit was carried out. The task of missions 18 and 19 (which was no longer officially) is not really clear: Rutledge only says that during these missions, a number of problems occurred, as a result of which research data was lost. It was originally planned to land next to an alien ship and study it using rovers.
Humanoid body found on the moon during Apollo 19&20
In 1976, the Apollo 20 mission was launched, which included: William Rutledge, Aleksei Leonov, and Leona Snyder. They managed to land by the ship, get inside, and inspect the interior of the ship, and the bodies of the pilots. One of the sources said that they not only examined the bodies but also took the head of one of the bodies with them.
The dimensions of the ship were 3370 x 510 meters; the age is estimated at 1.5 million years; inside, there are many signs of biological life: remnants of vegetation in the engine compartment of the ship, stones of a triangular shape that exude a yellow liquid that has some medical properties, the remains of small bodies (about 10 cm) that lived in a network of “glass” pipes piercing the whole ship.
Alien Spaceship
They found a humanoid, female, 1.65 meters. She had genitals, hair, six fingers (we assume the math is based on a dozen). She was a pilot, there was an aerobatics device connected to her fingers and eyes, the body had no clothes, and they had to cut two cables connected to the nose without nostrils. Leonov detached the device from the eyes. Blood clots or bio-fluids burst and froze in the mouth, nose, eyes, and parts of the body. Some parts of the body were in unusually good condition, hair and skin were protected by a thin transparent layer of protection. The condition seemed neither dead nor alive. The booth was full of inscriptions and formed from long, hollow hexagonal tubes.
Apollo 19 & 20 missions
On the other hand, one can only guess that this was the ship of the Anunnaki, about which Sitchin or some other guys wrote.
Doubts are caused by the number of fingers, these humanoids have 12 of them (6 on each hand), and we know that the Anunnaki used the hexadecimal numbering system and on all the frescoes, they have 5-fingered palms.
We also know that the Anunnaki had a parallel mission in low-Earth orbit: one part of them worked on Earth, the other part remained on the mother ship. It may well be that they used the moon and one of the ships remained there. Another interesting fact is that the team of engineers who actually implemented the Apollo project was headed by Wernher von Braun, who during Nazi Germany worked for the benefit of the Third Reich, creating for them the famous V-2 rockets.
Braun came to America along with many other German scientists removed from Germany as part of Operation Paperclip in 1945. And the colossal technological breakthrough of the engineers of the Third Reich happened due to cooperation with the occult societies of Ahnenerbe and Vril, who obtained information from the ancient egregors of the Gods related to our civilization.
Braun had an interesting chain of events: German occult societies -> moving to the USA -> working on a space program -> detecting an alien spacecraft, possibly the very same Gods who advised the Nazis. He survived until 1977 and saw the launch of Apollo 20 and, moreover, according to Rutledge, was personally present at the launch.

July 28 (UPI) -- NASA officials have changed the agency's plans for its daring and complicated effort to bring actual samples of Mars back to Earth by adding two helicopters and ditching the idea of landing a "fetch rover."
In a joint project with the European Space Agency, NASA has a goal of returning Martian samples back to Earth by 2033. The rover Perseverance is already on the Red Planet with the charge of collecting the samples.
Scientists have been encouraged by the performance of the rover and the current Martian helicopter Ingenuity, which arrived with Perseverance last year.
Perseverance will be tasked with bringing the samples to a Mars ascent vehicle with the two helicopters, modeled after Ingenuity, serving as a Plan B.
NASA's Mars rover Perseverance acquired this image in March 2021 using its onboard Left Navigation Camera. The camera is located high on the rover's mast and aids in driving. The rover has been collecting samples that NASA announced this week will be returned to Earth in 2033.
"The conceptual design phase is when every facet of a mission plan gets put under a microscope," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for science at NASA headquarters in Washington, said Wednesday in a statement.
"There are some significant and advantageous changes to the plan, which can be directly attributed to Perseverance's recent successes at Jezero [Crater on Mars] and the amazing performance of our Mars helicopter."
If Perseverance fails to retrieve the samples, the helicopter will be sent out to capture the sample and place them within reach of the ESA's ascent vehicle, eliminating the need for a second rover.
NASA's Perseverance rover touched down on Mars on February 18, 2021. The rover has since been exploring the planet and collecting samples that the agency announced on Wednesday will be retrieved and brought back to Earth in 2033.
"ESA is continuing at full speed the development of both the Earth Return Orbiter that will make the historic round-trip from Earth to Mars and back again; and the Sample Transfer Arm that will robotically place sample tubes aboard the Orbiting Sample Container before its launch from the surface of the Red Planet," said David Parker, ESA's director of human and robotic exploration.
Dispatches from Mars: Perseverance rover sends images
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover, using its Mastcam-Z camera system, captured this view of the Martian sunset on November 9, 2021, the 257th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Martian sunsets typically stand out for their distinctive blue color as fine dust in the atmosphere permits blue light to penetrate the atmosphere more efficiently than colors with longer wavelengths. But this sunset looks different: Less dust in the atmosphere resulted in a more muted color than average. The color has been calibrated and white-balanced to remove camera artifacts.
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover took a selfie with the Ingenuity helicopter on April 6, 2021, using the WATSON camera located at the end of the rover's long robotic arm.
In addition to the Perseverance rover, NASA has been flying a small helicopter on Mars, acquiring images and helping plot paths for the rover. The agency announced this week that a mission to Mars to retrieve samples collected on the planet's surface will include two new helicopters.
The Loch Ness Monster's existence is 'plausible', according to scientists, after fossils revealed that plesiosaurs may have lived in fresh water.
Nessie enthusiasts have long believed that the creature of Scottish folklore, which is often depicted with a long neck and small head, could be a prehistoric reptile.
However, cynics argue that even if plesiosaurs had survived the asteroid strike that wiped out the dinosaurs, the creatures could not have lived in Loch Ness because they needed a saltwater environment.
Now researchers from the University of Bath, University of Portsmouth, and Université Hassan II in Morocco, have discovered fossils of small plesiosaurs in a 100-million year old river system in the Sahara Desert.
The discovery suggests that some species of plesiosaur did live in freshwater - lending credibility to the Loch Ness Monster legend.
Plesiosaurs (right) and spinosaurus (left) may have both inhabited freshwater rivers 100 million years ago
Among the most famous claimed sightings of the Loch Ness Monster is a photograph taken in 1934 by Colonel Robert Kenneth Wilson which was published in the Daily Mail. However, the researchers point out that the last plesiosaurs died out 66 million years ago
Plesiosaur was first discovered 200 years ago
The first complete skeleton of a plesiosaur was found by English fossil hunter Mary Anning in Lyme Regis, Dorset, in 1823.
The prehistoric reptile had a small head, long neck, and four long flippers.
It was named 'near lizard', because it more closely resemble modern reptiles than icthyosaurus, which had been found in the same rock strata a few years earlier.
It lived from the late Triassic Period into the late Cretaceous Period, around 215 million to 66 million years ago, before being wiped out with the dinosaurs.
Plesiosaurs inspired reconstructions of the Loch Ness Monster, but were traditionally thought to be sea creatures.
The fossils, discovered in the Kem Kem beds of Morocco, which date back to the Late Cretaceous period, include bones and teeth from three-metre (10ft) long adults and an arm bone from a 1.5 metre (5ft) long baby.
'The bones and teeth were found scattered and in different localities, not as a skeleton. So each bone and each tooth is a different animal,' said Dr. Nick Longrich from the University of Bath's Milner Centre for Evolution.
'It's scrappy stuff, but isolated bones actually tell us a lot about ancient ecosystems and animals in them. They're so much more common than skeletons, they give you more information to work with.'
The discovery hints that the creatures routinely lived and fed in freshwater, alongside frogs, crocodiles, turtles, fish, and the huge aquatic dinosaur Spinosaurus.
The plesiosaurs' teeth show heavy wear, like those of Spinosaurus, implying they were eating the same food - chipping their teeth on the armoured fish that lived in the river.
'What amazes me is that the ancient Moroccan river contained so many carnivores all living alongside each other,' said David Martill from the University of Portsmouth.
'This was no place to go for a swim.'
Marine animals like whales and dolphins are known to wander up rivers, either to feed or because they are lost, but the researchers do not believe this explains the large number of plesiosaur fossils in the Kem Kem beds.
A more likely possibility is that the plesiosaurs were able to tolerate fresh and salt water, like some whales, such as the beluga whale.
It is even possible that the plesiosaurs were permanent residents of the river, like modern river dolphins, according to the researchers.
The fossils, discovered in the Kem Kem beds of Morocco, which date back to the Late Cretaceous period, include bones and teeth from three-metre (10ft) long adults and an arm bone from a 1.5 metre (5ft) long baby.

The plesiosaurs' small size would have let them hunt in shallow rivers, and the fossil beds indicate there were plenty of fish around.
'It's a bit controversial, but who's to say that because we paleontologists have always called them "marine reptiles", they had to live in the sea?' said Dr Longrich.
'Lots of marine lineages invaded freshwater.'
Plesiosaurs were a diverse and adaptable group, and were around for more than 100 million years.
Based on what they've found in Morocco – and what other scientists have found elsewhere – the authors suggest they might have repeatedly invaded freshwater to different degrees.
'This is another sensational discovery that adds to the many discoveries we have made in the Kem Kem over the past fifteen years of work in this region of Morocco,' said Samir Zouhri from the Universite Hassan II in Morocco.
'Kem Kem was truly an incredible biodiversity hotspot in the Cretaceous.'

The plesiosaurs belong to the family Leptocleididae - a family of small plesiosaurs often found in brackish or freshwater elsewhere in England, Africa, and Australia. Other plesiosaurs, including the long-necked elasmosaurs, have also been found in brackish or fresh waters in North America and China.
Veterinary student Arthur Grant was the first person to link the plesiosaur with the Loch Ness Monster in 1934, after he claimed to have nearly hit the creature on his motorcycle. He drew a sketch that resembled the ancient marine reptile.
A few months later, the Daily Mail published a photograph taken by gynaecologist Robert Kenneth Wilson that appeared to show a creature with a long neck and small head moving through the water. The image was later exposed as a hoax.
A press release from the University of Bath stated the new discovery showed that the Loch Ness Monster was 'on one level, plausible'.
'Plesiosaurs weren't confined to the seas, they did inhabit freshwater. But the fossil record also suggests that after almost a hundred and fifty million years, the last plesiosaurs finally died out at the same time as the dinosaurs, 66 million years ago.'
Rumours of a strange creature living in the waters of Loch Ness have abounded over the decades, yet scant evidence has been found to back up these claims.
One of the first sightings, believed to have fuelled modern Nessie fever, came in May 2, 1933.
On this date the Inverness Courier carried a story about a local couple who claim to have seen 'an enormous animal rolling and plunging on the surface'.
Another famous claimed sighting is a photograph taken in 1934 by Colonel Robert Kenneth Wilson.
It was later exposed as a hoax by one of the participants, Chris Spurling, who, on his deathbed, revealed that the pictures were staged.
Other sightings James Gray's picture from 2001 when he and friend Peter Levings were out fishing on the Loch, while namesake Hugh Gray's blurred photo of what appears to be a large sea creature was published in the Daily Express in 1933.
Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London physician, captured arguably the most famous image of the Loch Ness Monster. The surgeon’s photograph was published in the Daily Mail on April 21, 1934
The first reported sighting of the monster is said to have been made in AD565 by the Irish missionary St Columba when he came across a giant beast in the River Ness.
But no one has ever come up with a satisfactory explanation for the sightings - although in 2019, 'Nessie expert' Steve Feltham, who has spent 24 years watching the Loch, said he thought it was actually a giant Wels Catfish, native to waters near the Baltic and Caspian seas in Europe.
An online register lists more than 1,000 total Nessie sightings, created by Mr Campbell, the man behind the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club and is available at www.lochnesssightings.com.
So what could explain these mysterious sightings?
Many Nessie witnesses have mentioned large, crocodile-like scutes sitting atop the spine of the creature, leading some to believe an escaped amphibian may be to blame.
Native fish sturgeons can also weigh several hundred pounds and have ridged backs, which make them look almost reptilian.
Some believe Nessie is a long-necked plesiosaur - like an elasmosaur - that survived somehow when all the other dinosaurs were wiped out.
Others say the sightings are down to Scottish pines dying and flopping into the loch, before quickly becoming water-logged and sinking.
While submerged, botanical chemicals start trapping tiny bubbles of air.
Eventually, enough of these are gathered to propel the log upward as deep pressures begin altering its shape, giving the appearance of an animal coming up for air.
Citizens of Iowa reported seeing more than 1,100 unidentified flying objects, according to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).
While the state doesn’t rank quite as high as California, Washington, Florida or Texas for overall reportage, the reports listed on the NUFORC for the Hawkeye State are something to behold. There were more than 200 instances of “triangle” shaped objects spotted in the sky, along with multiple instances of a “green ring” light.
A number of similar reports were made at the same locations, on the same days. For example, on Dec. 23, 2020, multiple people reported a huge number of lights, triangular-shaped objects and very fast-moving white lights.
“I was washing my car and taking pictures of it. When I looked back at the pictures I noticed a black circle in the sky in the picture,” one person from Pleasantville reported on the site, attaching an image of an alleged flying saucer.
To date, NUFORC has collected more than 150,000 UFO sighting reports, according to their homepage. Between May and June 2022, the site collected more than 700 new reports.
The Senate Intelligence Committee raised more than a few eyebrows recently when they requested that Pentagon UFO investigators focus more on those that are specifically “not man-made.”
Ever since United States Congress held its first hearing on UFOs in more than 50 years, members of the U.S. Senate have been complaining about the slow pace with which the Pentagon has been setting up its UFO investigation arm.
One of the few notable moves so far by the Pentagon appears to be the fact that it changed the name of the organization from Airborne Object Identification and Management Group (AOIMSG) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
Sen. Mark Warner recentlywrote in a report, “At a time when cross-domain transmedium threats to United States national security are expanding exponentially, the Committee is disappointed with the slow pace of DoD-led efforts to establish the office to address those threats. The Committee was hopeful that the new office [AARO] would address many of the structural issues hindering progress.”
The same report asked for “the formal DoD and Intelligence Community definition of the terms used by the office … be updated to include space and undersea, and the scope of the Office shall be inclusive of those additional domains with [a] focus on addressing technology surprise and ‘unknown unknowns.”
The Senate Intel Committee wants investigators to focus on UFOs that are ‘not man-made’
The committee also asked that “temporary nonattributed objects, or those that are positively identified as man-made after analysis, will be passed to appropriate offices and should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena.”
The Senate Intelligence Committee asking investigators with the new organization to specifically focus on UFOs, or as the government like to refer to them, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), that are not identified as “man-made” certainly opens the door to speculation as to what exactly would not qualify, i.e. what UAPs are the Committee aware of that are not man-made?
Of course, the party line is that no one in government has ever been witness to such a thing… atleastofficially.
New DNA Research Shows Egyptian Pharaoh Could Be An Alien Hybrid
New DNA Research Shows Egyptian Pharaoh Could Be An Alien Hybrid
A new genetic study suggests a lineage of Egyptian pharaohs were subjected to willful genetic manipulation by a technologically advanced civilization.
Some would call this definitive proof that the builders of the pyramids had a strong connection with beings that originated elsewhere in the universe.
Stuart Fleischmann, Assistant Professor of Comparative Genomics at the Swiss University in Cairo and his team have recently published the results of a 7-year study that mapped the genomes of 9 ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. If proven correct, their findings could potentially change the world’s history books.
Fleischmann and his team subjected the precious samples of ancient DNA to a process called Polymerse Chain Reaction (PCR). In the field of molecular biology this technique is often used to replicate and amplify a single copy of a piece of DNA, giving researchers a clear picture of someone’s genetic fingerprint.
Eight out of nine samples returned interesting but typical results. The ninth sample belonged to Akhenaten, the enigmatic 14th century BC pharaoh and father of Tutankhamun.
A small fragment of desiccated brain tissue had been the source of the DNA sample and the test was repeated using bone tissue but the same results were obtained.
One of the culprits was a gene called CXPAC-5, which is responsible for cortex growth. The anomaly is visible in the image below.
The right section shows the prevalence of the CXPAC5 gene in a normal human. On the left we have Ahenaten’s DNA sample.
It appears this increased activity in Akhenaten’s genome would suggest he had a higher cranial capacity because of the need to house a larger cortex. But what mutation would have caused a human brain to grow? We have yet to discover such a technique despite years of breakthroughs in genetics. Could this 3,300 year-old evidence point out ancient genetic manipulation? Was it the work of advanced extraterrestrial beings?
Is the mythology of ancient Egypt more than a collection of allegoric tales? Prof. Fleischmann explains:
“Telomerase [a genetic enzyme] is only expended by two processes: extreme aging and extreme mutation. Genetic and archaeological data suggests Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten lived to about 45 years of age. That is not nearly enough to consume all the chromosomal telomerase, leaving behind one inconvenient but possible explanation.
“This hypothesis is also backed up by the fact that electron microscope analysis revealed signs of nucleotidic cicatrix, which is a telltale sign of the DNA helix healing after being exposed to strong mutagens.”
Does this suggest that Akhenaten, one of ancient Egypt’s most mysterious pharaohs, was subjected to genetic modification during his life? If anything, this allegation supports the theory that ancient aliens once visited the civilization that lived along the banks of the Nile.
Another interesting piece of evidence provides backing to this hypothesis. The image below shows two microscope photographs of osseous tissue sampled from the skull of Akhenaten and that of a different mummy of the same age.
The bone tissue on the left is far denser and fundamentally different at a nanoscopic scale. Could this increase in strength of the skull bones be an indicator of increased brain development?
“This is an exciting finding, to say the least,” Fleischmann told press. “My team and I have submitted the papers for peer review and we’ve done and redone the tests enough times that we’re confident they’re accurate.
“I don’t know the full implication of our findings but I certainly believe they should at least point the scientific community in a direction that would have been immediately dismissed just a few decades ago.”
If this study is correct, it could trigger an unprecedented paradigm shift. If aliens were actively involved in the life of the most powerful individuals thousands of years ago, does that mean they’ll return? Perhaps they never left at all.
But the most important aspect would be the existence of individuals, direct descendants of ancient Egypt’s royal lineage, that still posses the alien genes implanted in their ancestors’ genomes.

Cigar-shaped UFO and 3 entities witnessed by Joyce Bowles and Ted Pratt, Winchester, England, 1976
"We realised that three figures were watching us from a window in the cigar," said Mrs Bowles. "Then one of the figures materialised by the Mini. He peeped through my window at the dashboard controls and walked to the back of the car. Then he and the cigar-shaped craft simply vanished."
A United States RB-47 & Its Crew Had An Astonishing UFO Experience That Was Never Explained
A United States RB-47 & Its Crew Had An Astonishing UFO Experience That Was Never Explained
On July 17, 1957, a US Air Force RB-47 underwent an extraordinary experience now considered one of the classic radar/visual UFO sightings.
In 1947 a US RB-47 encounter a UFO after leaving Forbes Air Force Base
Equipped with electronic intelligence (ELINT) gear, the aircraft left Forbes Air Force Base, Topeka, Kansas, on a multipurpose mission that included gunnery, navigation, and electronic countermeasure (ECM) exercises. Three of its six-man crew were electronic-welfare officers who ran the ECM equipment.
In the early morning hours, the first two parts of its mission completed, the RB-47 was returning over the Gulf coast near Gulfport, Mississippi, when Frank B McClure, who was manning the second ELINT station (of three aboard the aircraft), noticed a signal at 3000 megahertz (MHz) frequency at five o'clock relative to the plane's position. McClure initially assumed the signal was coming from a ground-based radar, but then it moved upscope, crossed the RB-47's flight path, and descended downscope on the other side. ELINT station #1 was not working the frequency at the time, and station #3 was incapable of operating on that frequency at any time. Though puzzled, McClure said nothing, assuming that there must be some mundane explanation.
Near Meridian, Mississippi, the plane turned west, travelling at 34,500 feet and 500 mph. Soon afterwards, at 4:10 am., over east-central Louisiana, Major Lewis D Chase, the pilot, saw an intense blue light at eleven o'clock. He called it to the attention of his co-pilot, 1st Lieutenant James H McCoid, and the two watched the light moving rapidly toward them. Then immediately notified the crew that evasive action would have to be taken, but before that happened, the object instantaneously changed direction and streaked in front of them, disappearing at two o'clock.
Remembering the odd signal he had received some minutes earlier, McClure set his equipment to scan the 3000 MHz range and found he was getting a strong signal from the plane's two o'clock position. A check of the #2 monitor on known ground-radar stations indicated it was functioning perfectly, and the signal also appeared on the #1 monitor, run by John J Provenzano. The possibility that an unknown ground-radar station was responsible for the signal was eliminated when the signal moved gradually upscope - not downscope, as it should have if its source were on the ground - even as the RB-47 continued on its westward path at 500 mph.
Now the plane and its crew were in east Texas, within the radar-coverage area of an Air Force radar unit (codenamed "Utah") in Duncanville. The aircraft's occupants were growing ever more uneasy about their enigmatic companion. At 4:39 the pilot saw a "huge" light 5000 feet below him at two o'clock. Though he could not prove it, he had a strong sense that the light was on top of a larger object. A minute later McClure at ELINT #2 reported two signals at 40 and 70 degrees. The first UFO was at the latter location, and now both Chase and McCoid spotted another object at the former site. The second UFO was visible only briefly.
Chase notified Utah and asked for all possible assistance as he left his flight path and headed toward one of the UFOs. It was now 4:42, and ELINT #2 had one signal at 20 degrees' bearing. When Chase accelerated to 550 mph, the UFO pulled away. Seconds later McClure had two signals again at 40 and 70 degrees, and a minute and a half later only one, at 50 degrees. Utah asked Chase to tell it where the UFO was, and when he reported its location (10 miles northwest of Fort Worth), Utah picked it up immediately on its radar scopes. At 4:50 the UFO seemed to stop suddenly, and the RB-47 flew past it. At this moment it disappeared from the scopes, and ELINT #2 lost the signal.
Later, when interviewed by University of Arizona physicist James E Mcdonald, Chase (in McDonald's paraphrase) recalled that there was simultaneity between the moment when he began to sense that he was getting closure at approximately the RB-47 speed and the moment when Utah indicated that their target had stopped on their scopes. He said he veered a bit to avoid colliding with the object, not then being sure what its altitude was relative to the RB-47, and then found that he was coming over the top of it as he proceeded to close. At the instant that it blinked out visually and disappeared simultaneously from the #2 monitor and from the radar scopes at the site in Utah, it was at a depression angle relative to his position of something like 45 degrees.
Chase began a turn over the Mineral Wells, Texas, area, to get back on his original flight path, which would take him north in the direction of Forbes AFB. Suddenly the light reappeared behind them, and the instant it did, Utah and ELINT #2 were documenting its presence. The RB-47 again moved toward the UFO, getting within five nautical miles of it before it dropped to 15,000 feet, blinked out, and again vanished both visually and electronically.
At 4:55, concerned about his fuel situation, Chase notified Utah that he had to get back to Forbes. Two minutes later, at 300 degrees' bearing, McClure picked up a signal, and at 4:58 Chase observed the UFO 20 miles northwest of Fort Worth. The UFO trailed the aircraft, all the while emitting signals picked up by ELINT #2 until the object and signal disappeared over Oklahoma City at 5:40. The UFO and the RB-47 had kept company for 800 miles.
Aftermath
Both Project Blue Book and Air Defense Command Intelligence investigated the incident shortly after it occurred, though no account of it appeared in print until the publication, 12 years later, of Scientific Investigation of Unidentified Flying Objects, informally and better known as the Condon report. (Physicist Edward U Condon headed the Air Force-sponsored University of Colorado UFO Project (the "Condon Committee") between 1966 and 1969.) Committee investigator Gordon David Thayer, a physicist and radar expert, declared the case unexplained and later characterized the official Blue Book explanation (that the "UFO" was an airliner) as "literally ridiculous."
Subsequently, McDonald interviewed all six crew members, uncovered official records unavailable to the Condon Committee, and corrected some errors in Thayer's version (principally the date, which Thayer had as September 20). Despite a convoluted reinterpretation by debunker Phillip J. Klass, who speculated that a complex series of radar errors and the fortuitous appearances, consecutively, of a meteor, the star Vega, and an airliner were responsible for the event, the incident remains as puzzling today as it was in the early morning hours of July 17, 1957.
In 1974, scientists sent a message containing the location of the Earth in the solar system, our DNA structure, and other relevant details in space. In 2001, we received a response that has gone unnoticed by everyone.
In an effort to discover intelligent alien life, Carl Sagan sent a transmission known as the ‘Arecibo’ message into space via radio waves.
The message addressed to intelligent extraterrestrial beings was the most powerful radio transmission ever transmitted to space by humanity.
By comparison, the signal sent into space was a million times stronger than a typical television broadcast.
Aimed at a group of stars located more than 25,000 light years away, the pictorial message was sent in the hope that one day we would receive a similar response from another civilization.
The radio signal included the location of our planet Earth within our star system, the basics of mathematics and science, and the type of antenna that was used to relay the signal – all characteristics that an intelligent alien civilization should understand. .
The message prepared by Carl Sagan and his colleagues also included information about our species, our music, even our physical appearance was included in the radio message, as well as in our DNA codes.
A few years after the signal was sent, people forgot about it. Then, 27 years later, already in 2001, a ” Crop Circle ” that is, a crop circle appeared shaking the scientific community.
A pattern appeared in a farm field, right next to the UK’s largest telescope and observatory, the Chilbolton, where the world’s largest fully addressable weather radar is located, and the surprise was that it looked like a response to the transmission sent. way back in 1974.
It was considered by many to be one of the most impressive and important crop circles ever to appear on our planet, as this circle, unlike others, carried a message direct from space.
While many dismissed the crop circle near Chilbolton as yet another hoax, analysis showed that it carried a message, or rather a response from another civilization.
Describing a different solar system in the universe, the emitter image, non-human DNA, and some microwave antennae, the Chilbolton Crop Circle was the final answer we had always hoped for.
Incredibly, just a year before the extraterrestrial message was discovered, in the year 2000 a circle of unknown shape appeared alongside Chilbolton.
A year later, the puzzle was put together, and we could see that the crop circle that appeared in 2000 was, in fact, a representation of the microwave telescope used to transmit the signal to us.
In 2001, three days after the mysterious answer appeared alongside Chilbolton; another crop circle was found depicting what appeared to be an alien face.
According to the librarypleyades.net portal, the decimal equivalents of the binary code were not modified with respect to the original ‘Arecibo’. But the atomic numbers of the elements that make up the basis of life had been altered:
Silicon, an element with an atomic number of 14, was added in precisely the correct sequence: between oxygen (atomic number 8) and phosphorus (atomic number 15).
In 1969, the late Ben Volcani, a renowned microbiologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, discovered the crucial role of silicon in carbon-based life.
His work and that of his colleagues (such as Charles Mehard, also at Scripps, and Edith Carlisle in the 1970s at UCLA) demonstrated that the presence of silicon is critical in a variety of terrestrial life forms, as well as in the structure of human cells: example, in the union of cartilage and mineral aspects of bones.
It remains to be debated whether the crop circle that appeared alongside Chilbolton was, in fact, an extraterrestrial response.
However, many people are firmly convinced that not only is the 2001 Chilbolton an actual message from another intelligent alien civilization in the universe, but we receive similar messages almost every day.

Humans Originated On Another Planet – Where They Eventually Evolved, Before Being Taken To Earth In The Very Distant Past
Humans Originated On Another Planet – Where They Eventually Evolved, Before Being Taken To Earth In The Very Distant Past
A researcher argues that humans evolved on a different planet and were eventually brought to Earth in the very distant past.
What if we are the aliens we’ve been searching for all along? Despite the progress made in various science branches like biology, chemistry, and astrophysics, we are still unable to say for certain how life started on Earth.
Was this a unique event across the universe? Or is it possible that there are out there planets eerily similar to Earth, which harbor life, even if it is just primitive?
The truth is that we have theorized about the origins of life ever since the human mind was capable of thinking.
Did life come from space? Did life originate on the planet, without ‘extraterrestrial’ (Comets, Asteroids, etc.) influence? What’s the science behind human origins?
If amino acids arrived with comet impacts, it would suggest, as some experts argue, that life may be widespread in our solar system.
But what if things are not so simple? What if the origins of life are anything but rational?
What if humans are NOT from Earth?
That’s a controversial subject touched by the book written by American ecologist Dr. Ellis Silver. Humans Are Not From Earth His book, titled ‘Humans are not from Earth: a scientific evaluation of the evidence,’ suggests that our species is not native to Earth and may have come from elsewhere.
Dr. Silver provides arguments based on various subjects like human psychology, arguing that humankind did not evolve alongside other life forms on Earth. Instead, the researcher indicates that humans came into existence on a different planet, and we were ‘brought to Earth’ in the very distant past.
The book offers five distinctive points:
The researcher explained that his book is based on the scientific differences between humans and other animals on Earth.
The Earth approximately meets our needs as a species, but perhaps not as strongly as whoever brought us here initially thought,” explained Dr. Silver in an interview.
The researcher points towards chronic diseases that affect the human race, like back pain, indicating it could be a sign that proves our species formed on another world, with much less gravity.
Dr. Silver also mentions other uniquely human traits: humans have 223 extra genes, not found in any other species.
The American researcher further suggests the human race has several ‘serious flaws’ that point to the possibility we are not from this planet.
“We are all chronically ill,” Dr. Silver explains.
“Indeed, if you can find a single person who is 100% fit and healthy and not suffering from some (perhaps hidden or unstated) condition or disorder (there’s an extensive list in the book), I would be amazed – I have not been able to find anyone.” “I believe that many of our problems stem from the simple fact that our internal body clocks have evolved to expect a 25-hour day (sleep researchers have proved this), but the Earth’s day is only 24 hours. This is not a modern condition – the same factors can be traced all the way back through humankind’s history on Earth.”
So, if we are not from Earth, where did we come from?
Dr. Silva argues that one possibility is , the closest star system to the sun.
In his book, Silva explains that even though humankind is supposedly the most developed species on the planet, it is surprisingly unsuited and ill-equipped for our planet’s environment: humans are harmed by sunlight and tend to have a strong dislike for naturally occurring (raw) foods. The researcher argues that humans have ridiculously high rates of chronic disease, among other things. “My thesis,” says Silver, “proposes that mankind did not evolve from that particular strain of life, but evolved elsewhere and was transported to Earth (as fully evolved Homo sapiens) between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago.” And while we may not have arrived on earth in alien spaceships, experts conducting simulations using supercomputers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the US have discovered that amino acids, the building blocks of life, may have reached our planet from outer space via comets or meteors.
This single possibility suggests that life is not unique on Earth, and there could be similar forms of life on distant alien moons and planets, some of them even inside our very own cosmic neighborhood.
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory has captured once again a composite of images depicting a shadowy object around the sun, appearing to be at the end of a tendril extending into the sun. The latest images depicting the unknown planet-sized object were taken on April 19th, 2022, ten years after the first footage depicting the exactly same object was taken. In the image sequence, the dark object is surrounded by a burst of brightly lit material that can be seen erupting from the sun’s surface. The orb then separates from the sun and rockets into space.
Many are suspecting it to be a refueling UFO spaceship. However, according to NASA scientists, the feature is actually little-understood, but frequently observed. It’s a type of solar activity called a “prominence” – a phenomenon caused by cooler, denser plasma interacting with highly charged coronal plasma. In other words, it could be an optical illusion created by the plasma.
In the image series from 2012 and 2022, there is a burst of activity around the prominence, and then it and the filament channel shoot out into space immediately afterwards. According to Joseph Gurman, a project scientist in the Solar Physics Laboratory at NASA Goddard, the first event was probably an outburst of the sun’s magnetic field called a coronal mass ejection.
“It’s generally accepted, though still not conclusively proven, that prominence eruptions occur when the overlying magnetic field that contains the prominence material is disrupted,”
The inconsistencies with the official claims by NASA scientists
Our question is, if it’s an outburst of the sun’s magnetic field, why doesn’t the prominence appear to move along with the sun as it rotates, but remains stationary? Also, while observing the footage, one couldn’t help but notice how it is situated in the exact same location as it was in the footage from 2012. How could a coronal mass ejection happen in the exact same spot creating the exact same illusion it did ten years ago?
Does it look like a solar eruption or a refueling UFO spaceship? You may take a look at the footage below.
James Webb-telescoop vindt verst verwijderde sterrenstelsels, die zowat 250 miljoen jaar na de oerknal ontstonden
Ploegend door de data van de James Webb Ruimtetelescoop (JWST) hebben astronomen alweer nieuwe recordbrekende informatie gevonden. Zo ontdekten ze sterrenstelsels die wellicht het verst verwijderd zijn.
Voordat de James Webb-telescoop de ruimte in werd geslingerd, was het verst verwijderde sterrenstelsel - voor zover bekend - GN-z11. GN-z11 zou zo'n 420 miljoen jaar na de oerknal zijn ontstaan. De recent ontdekte sterrenstelsels ontstonden wellicht al 250 miljoen jaar na de oerknal, bijna 200 miljoen jaar eerder dan GN-z11 dus.

Lava tubes on Mars and the Moon are up to 1,000 times bigger than those on Earth and are so wide they could be used to host planetary bases for future space exploration, study shows
Lava tubes on Mars and the Moon are up to 1,000 times bigger than those on Earth and are so wide they could be used to host planetary bases for future space exploration, study shows
Researchers used lava tubes on the Earth to determine their size on other worlds
Those on the Moon are the largest and reach up to 100ft wide and 25 miles long
They are in the subsurface of the worlds and provide a constant temperature
Lava tubes under the surface of the Moon and Mars are so large they could host entire planetary bases for future space exploration, planetary scientists claim.
Researchers at the Universities of Bologna and Padua studied the subsurface cavities that lava created billions of years ago under the surface of Mars and the Moon.
These cavities can shield from cosmic radiations, according to the team, who found the celestial bodies held lava tubes up to 1,000 times larger than those on Earth.
Similar tubes found on Earth were measured by the team and used to estimate the size of the ones thought to exist underneath the surface of the other worlds.
The largest of the tubes are found on the Moon and are up to 100ft wide and more than 25 miles long, enough for a base the size of a small town, the team said.
This is an artistic rendering of a possible lava tube. These cavities can shield from cosmic radiation and the Moon holds lava tubes up to 1,000 times larger than those on Earth
The team used data from various interplanetary probes to determine the size and scale of the lava tubes on the Moon and Mars
Tubes found on the Moon are larger than those on Earth or Mars due to the much lower gravity and the impact it had on lava flows in its early development.
Francesco Sauro, of the European Space Agency and Riccardo Pozzobon, a planetary geologist at the University of Padua estimated their scale.
'We can find lava tubes on planet Earth, but also on the subsurface of the Moon and Mars according to the high-resolution pictures of lava tubes' skylights taken by interplanetary probes,' said Sauro.
'Evidence of lava tubes was often inferred by observing linear cavities and sinuous collapse chains where the galleries cracked.'
The way these lava tubes appear on the surface of the Moon and Mars is similar to ones found on the Earth - particularly in Hawaii, Canary Islands and Australia.
These images show the different ways lava tubes are produced on the Earth, Moon and Mars
These tubes have been extensively studied on Earth and the findings have been used to estimate their size, shape and scale on other celestial bodies.
'We measured the size and gathered the morphology of lunar and Martian collapse chains (collapsed lava tubes), using digital terrain models,' said Pozzobon
These were taken from satellite images and laser altimetry devices carried by various interplanetary probes over the years.
'We then compared these data to topographic studies about similar collapse chains on the Earth's surface and to laser scans of the inside of lava tubes in Lanzarote and the Galapagos,' he said.
'These data allowed to establish a restriction to the relationship between collapse chains and subsurface cavities that are still intact'.
Researchers found that Martian and lunar tubes are respectively 100 and 1,000 times wider than those on Earth, which typically have a diameter of up to 98ft.
Lower gravity and its effect on early volcanism helped explain why the tubes on the Moon and Mars are so much larger than on the Earth, the team explained.
Riccardo Pozzobon said tubes this wide can be longer than 25 miles going under the subsurface of the Moon - making it an 'extraordinary target for subsurface exploration and potential settlement'.
These tubes have a wide, protected and stable environment and are big enough that they could contain the entirety of a small town.
'What is most important is that, despite the impressive dimension of the lunar tubes, they remain well within the roof stability threshold because of a lower gravitational attraction', explains Matteo Massironi, from the University of Padua.
'This means that the majority of lava tubes underneath the maria smooth plains are intact,' the planetary geologist explained.
The team used various techniques including 3D modelling to track the path of the lava tubes on the celestial bodies
The authors found that on the Moon the tubes are up to 100ft wide with a length of 25 miles
'The collapse chains we observed might have been caused by asteroids piercing the tube walls. This is what the collapse chains in Marius Hills seem to suggest. From the latter, we can get access to these huge underground cavities'.
Sauro explained that they would provide stable shields from cosmic and solar radiation as well as micrometeorite impacts that happen often on planetary bodies.
A number of projects and design challenges have been happening across the world to create potentially safe designs to help in the colonising of other worlds.
They have used everything from 3D printed materials made from lunar regolith, to beehive like lattice structures design to block meteorites and radiation.
The benefit of the lava tubes, assuming the estimates of their size prove to be correct, would be similar to the human made structures - without the need to build.
They would also have great potential for providing an environment in which temperatures do not vary from day- to night-time.
Researchers examined lava tubes found on Earth to estimate the size and scale of those on the Moon and on Mars
Tubes were found on Mars and the Moon by orbiting satellites and are seen as circles or dents in the surface
'Space agencies are now interested in planetary caves and lava tubes, as they represent a first step towards future explorations of the lunar surface,' said Sauro.
Researchers also point out how this study opens up to a completely new perspective in planetary exploration, which is focusing on the subsurface of Mars and the Moon.
'In autumn 2019, ESA called up universities and industries with a campaign seeking ideas for developing technologies for lunar caves exploration,' said Unibo professor Jo Da Waele, an author of the study.
'They are specifically looking for systems that would land on the lunar surface to operate missions exploring lunar tubes', De Waele explained.
Since 2012, in collaboration with some European universities including Bologna and Padua, ESA has been carrying out two training programmes for astronauts focusing on the exploration of underground systems and planetary geology.
These programmes include lava tubes on the island of Lanzarote and 36 astronauts from five space agencies have received training in cave hiking.
NASA plans to send a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s after first landing on the Moon
Mars has become the next giant leap for mankind's exploration of space.
But before humans get to the red planet, astronauts will take a series of small steps by returning to the moon for a year-long mission.
Details of a the mission in lunar orbit have been unveiled as part of a timeline of events leading to missions to Mars in the 2030s.
Nasa has outlined its four stage plan (pictured) which it hopes will one day allow humans to visit Mars at he Humans to Mars Summit held in Washington DC yesterday. This will entail multiple missions to the moon over coming decades
In May 2017, Greg Williams, deputy associate administrator for policy and plans at Nasa, outlined the space agency's four stage plan that it hopes will one day allow humans to visit Mars, as well as its expected time-frame.
Phase one and two will involve multiple trips to lunar space, to allow for construction of a habitat which will provide a staging area for the journey.
The last piece of delivered hardware would be the actual Deep Space Transport vehicle that would later be used to carry a crew to Mars.
And a year-long simulation of life on Mars will be conducted in 2027.
Phase three and and four will begin after 2030 and will involve sustained crew expeditions to the Martian system and surface of Mars.
Lava Tubes on the Moon Maintain Comfortable Room Temperatures Inside
Lava Tubes on the Moon Maintain Comfortable Room Temperatures Inside
Searching for a comfortable place to set up a research station on the Moon? Look no further than the interior parts of lunar pits and caves. While lack of air will be an issue, new research indicates these underground sanctuaries have steady temperatures that hover around 17 Celsius, or 63 Fahrenheit, even though the Moon’s surface heats up to about 127 C (260 F) during the day and cool to minus 173 C (minus 280 F) at night.
Lunar pits, or lava tubes were discovered in 2009 by the Lunar Reconnaissance Obiter and Japan’s Kaguya spacecraft. These are deep holes on the moon that could open into vast underground tunnels. They likely could serve as a safe shielding from cosmic rays, solar radiation and micrometeorites for future human lunar explorers. But now we know they could provide thermally stable sites for lunar exploration.
These long, winding lava tubes are like structures we have on Earth. They are created when the top of a stream of molten rock solidifies and the lava inside drains away, leaving a hollow tube of rock. For years before their existence was confirmed, scientists thought there were hints that the Moon had lava tubes based on observations of long, winding depressions carved into the lunar surface by the flow of lava, called sinuous rilles.

So far, about 200 lunar pits have been found and at least 16 of these are probably collapsed lava tubes, with the potential for ‘livable’ space, said Tyler Horvath, a UCLA doctoral student in planetary science, who led the new research. Two of the most prominent pits have visible overhangs that clearly lead to some sort of cave or void, and there is strong evidence that another’s overhang may also lead to a large cave.
Horvath processed images from the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment — a thermal camera and one of six instruments on LRO — to find out if the temperature within the pits diverged from those on the surface. Diviner is designed to measure surface temperatures on the Moon, and Horvath’s team had to focus in on extremely small areas to get their data.
They focused on a pit found in the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis). This image, below, was taken as the Sun was almost straight overhead, illuminating the region. By comparing this image with previous images that have different lighting, scientists can estimate the depth of the pit. They believe it to be over 100 meters.
This is a spectacular high-Sun view of the Mare Tranquillitatis pit crater, revealing the overhang and deep, dark pit. This image from LRO’s Narrow Angle Camera is 400 meters (1,312 feet) wide, north is up. Credits: NASA/Goddard/Arizona State University
The researchers used computer modeling to analyze the thermal properties of the rock and lunar dust and to chart the pit’s temperatures over a period of time. Their research, recently published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, revealed that temperatures within the permanently shadowed reaches of the pit fluctuate only slightly throughout the lunar day, remaining at around 17 C (63 F). If a cave extends from the bottom of the pit, as images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera suggest, it too would have this relatively comfortable temperature. The researchers think the overhang is responsible for the steady temperature, limiting how hot things get during the day and preventing heat from radiating away at night.
However, if this particular pit was to be used as a habitat or research station, there would likely be a heat problem just inside the pit. The sunbaked part of the pit floor not protected by the overhang hits daytime temperatures close to 150 C (300 F), which is even hotter than the Moon’s surface.
“Because the Tranquillitatis pit is the closest to the lunar equator, the illuminated floor at noon is probably the hottest place on the entire moon,” said Horvath.

Since a day on the Moon lasts nearly 15 Earth days, the lunar surface is constantly bombarded by sunlight and is frequently hot enough to boil water. Conversely, the equally long lunar nights (also 15 Earth days long) reach incredibly cold temperatures. Any habitat or base would mean inventing heating and cooling equipment that can operate under these conditions, as well as ways to produce enough energy to power it nonstop. This could prove to be an insurmountable barrier to lunar exploration or habitation.
However, the researchers say that building bases in the shadowed parts of these pits allows scientists to focus on other challenges, like growing food, providing oxygen for astronauts, gathering resources for experiments and expanding the base.
“Humans evolved living in caves, and to caves we might return when we live on the moon,” said UCLA professor of planetary science David Paige, who leads the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment and participated in the research.
A Fast-Moving Star is Colliding With Interstellar gas, Creating a Spectacular bow Shock
A Fast-Moving Star is Colliding With Interstellar gas, Creating a Spectacular bow Shock
Zeta Ophiuchi has had an interesting life. It began as a typical large star about twenty times more massive than the Sun. It spent its days happily orbiting a large companion star until its companion exploded as a supernova about a million years ago. The explosion ejected Zeta Ophiuchi, so now it is speeding away through interstellar space. Of course, the supernova also expelled the outer layers of the companion star, so rather than empty space, our plucky star is speeding through the remnant gas as well. As they say on Facebook, it’s complicated. And that’s great news for astronomers, as a recent study shows.
Zeta Ophiuchi is most famous for beautiful images such as the one above. By plowing through interstellar gas, the star has created heated shock waves that glow in everything from infrared to x-rays. The physics of these shock waves is tremendously complex. It is governed by a set of mathematical equations known as magnetohydrodynamics, which describes the behavior of fluid gases and their surrounding magnetic fields. Modeling these equations is bad enough, but when you have turbulent motion such as shock waves, things get even worse. That’s why Zeta Ophiuchi is so important. Since we have such a great view of its shock wave, we can compare our observations with computer simulations.
In this latest study, the team created computer models simulating the shock wave near Zeta Ophiuchi. They then compared these models to observations in infrared, visible, and x-rays. Their goal is to determine which simulations are the most accurate so that the models can be further refined. Of their three models, two of them predicted that the brightest region of x-ray emissions should be at the edge of the shock wave closest to the star, and this is what we observe. But all three models also predicted that x-ray emissions should be fainter than we observe, so none of the models are fully accurate. But these models are difficult to do well, and this work is a good first start.

The difference in x-ray brightness is likely due to turbulent motion within the shock wave. The team plans on including some of this turbulent motion in future models. Through multiple iterations, they should be able to create a simulation that closely models this interstellar shock wave.
Magnetohydrodynamics is a central part of many astrophysical processes, ranging from solar flares to the formation of planets, to the powerful black hole engines of quasars. Most of these interactions are hidden by distance or dust, so it’s great that Zeta Ophiuchi can give astronomers a shocking view of this complex physics.
On November 8,1978, Mrs. Cathy Wilfong and her sister Mrs. Cindy Bridges viewed a UFO near Greenfield, Indiana.
You could say they had very good proof that they did see something unidentified by the large imprint, about 140 feet long, that was left in their soybean field in the back of their home.
It was around 9:00 PM when Cindy went out to get some firewood, when she noticed a big fiery light coming down towards the soybean field. When she went to investigate what the object was, she became frightened and started screaming for Cathy to come out and look at this thing that was coming down towards the field.
Cathy knew something was wrong when she heard the screaming and her dog, Babe, barking wildly. When she saw the object coming down she couldn't believe it. Although frightened, Cathy ran to the garage to get her camera. When she couldn't find her camera she ran into the house petrified.
At this time Cindy was in the camper watching the object from the inside. She stayed in the camper for an estimated time of 4 minutes. When she noticed Cathy running into the house she decided she had better go into the house too.
After calling the Sheriff's Department, Cathy then called her mother who lives 6 miles away from the Wilfong residence; she came immediately and saw the lights of the UFO as it departed. (She watched these lights as she drove towards their house, and first saw them from 4 to 5 miles away as she approached on state road 209.) The Wilfong's live 8 miles from the Sheriffs office, but it took them at least 30 minutes to get to the house from the time Cathy called.
Upon the Deputy's arrival they informed Cathy that what they had seen was a "helicopter." This so-called "helicopter" made no sound whatsoever, had no propeller so it just naturally threw no propwash, did not have any night flying navigational beacon as required by FAA regulations, and was 120 to 140 feet long.
As described by the witnesses, the UFO was oblong, very, very huge with a kind of greenish-dray color. (See sketch.) It had three lights, one red and two white. The UFO did not have any sound, and it moved flying sideways behind the barn and then took off flying front ways.
Cathy stated, "the thing moved like it was in slow motion. It was very huge with three lights. There was some kind of circle in the middle of the bottom or underneath side. The whole time we watched this object, we could only see the bottom side." The estimated time they viewed the object was 40 minutes.
This UFO incident attracted the attention of the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Illinois. They sent out one of their investigators, Allan Hendry, who is the top field investigator for the Center. Hendry stated, "This sighting was one of the two most significant sightings the Center has examined in 1978.
Due to the fact that this sighting was at such a close range by two credible witnesses and also due to the physical evidence the UFO left, which was the impression in their soybean field." Hendry went on to state, "The impression left in the field is similar to 'Saucer Nests' found and reported in Australia and elsewhere in the World, also indicated the UFO never did touch the ground." The stems in the bean field were not uprooted at all, and the stems were intertwined and matted together.
The case also was investigated by MUFON Field Investigator, Arthur Morros of Zionsville, Indiana."
UFOs In Space Recorded During Space Shuttle and Apollo Missions
UFOs In Space Recorded During Space Shuttle and Apollo Missions
Although NASA is commissioning a study team to start early in the fall to examine unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) – that is, observations of events in the sky that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena as well as NASA wants to transform satellites into alien seekers to probe unexplained sightings in space, it might be better that NASA check their archive first as overwhelming evidence is present on footage from, among others, the Space Shuttle and Apollo Missions showing UFOs in space and above the Lunar surface.
Proof of the existence of UFOs what they have withheld from the public all the years.
During the Space Shuttle flights many recordings were made by the astronauts. Some of these recordings show objects in space that clearly cannot be meteorites, space junk, or lightning storms.
These objects change direction, slow down, make 90 and 180 degree turns before speeding up and disappearing into space. Only UFOs or unknown probes under intelligent control can perform this kind of maneuvers.
Also during the Apollo flights, recordings were made by the astronauts in which UFOs can be seen.
One such example is the footage recorded by the Apollo 11 crew showing a UFO flying just above the moon's surface.
And what about the astronaut who saw a UFO during the Apollo 17 Mission.
Normally NASA astronauts follow a "script" and they know exactly what and when to say.
But during the Apollo 17 mission this astronaut however was too shocked by something he had never seen before. He forgets his "lines" and no longer follows the script. Instead a long and not planned discussion and conversation starts. The astronaut is truly amazed. Unlike his colleague, who seems to be in charge. The astronaut asks what these objects were that flew over his head. Than it becomes hilarious. Flabbergasted, the second astronaut does also not know what to say! This was not planned and not in the script. He is however aware of the fact that they are being watched by NASA officials.
After a short period of silence he says that it was a blast coming from the dial shaped disc of the high gain antenna on the rover (vehicle). More objects start flying over and again we hear genuine excitement. Than the astronaut realizes that he had said something he should not have said in front of the cameras and NASA. He reluctantly accepts the vague explanation. He is really annoyed and you hear sarcasm and disbelief in the undertone of his voice.
NASA tries to save this unpleasant situation and intervenes as CAPCOM confirms that it was a blast from the antenna and that it happened before.
According to the astronaut who clearly is in charge, this blast from the antenna is just "routine".
This is an interesting video. Styrofoam blowing up? This has happened before? When this really would be the case, would they not have taken countermeasures? Space programs are planned with utmost precision and they do not take any risks with equipment and astronauts. So what do you think after having seen the footage? Was it a blast from the antenna? Exploding Styrofoam?
Or is someone not telling us the truth and these two astronauts had a couple "visitors" passing by.
Mysterious flying objects seem to be having their moment in Washington. In January, the Pentagon was tasked with setting up a permanent office to investigate sightings of ‘unidentified aerial phenomena’, commonly known as UFOs. Then in May, Congress held its first public hearing on the subject in over 50 years. This recent shift hasn’t stemmed nearly century-old theories about UFOs landing on Earth and coverups but to some, it’s a sign Disclosure, or complete transparency on everything the government knows about UFOs, might be on the horizon.

Researchers Turn Dead Spiders Into 'Necrobotic' Grippers
See how engineers at Rice University transformed wolf spiders into necrobots.

Grippers made from dead spiders. For some, this might sound like a horror movie. For others, it's a fascinating mashup of robotics and the natural world.
A team of engineers at Rice University worked out how to reanimate (after a fashion) the legs of dead spiders. This isn't a Frankenstein's monster sort of situation. The researchers used a needle and air to activate the spider legs, mimicking how the appendages work in living spiders. Because the spiders are dead and are used in a robotic fashion, the engineers call this "necrobotics."
Mechanical engineering graduate student Faye Yap is the lead author of a paper on the spider project published in the journal Advanced Science this week. "It happens to be the case that the spider, after it's deceased, is the perfect architecture for small scale, naturally derived grippers," said co-author Daniel Preston in a Rice statement on Monday.
It's one thing to read about this project and another to see it in action. Fortunately (or not depending on how you feel about all this), Rice delivered a video that explains the process for creating the necrobots and shows how it works.
When alive, spiders use blood to extend and contract their legs through a hydraulic process. The researchers euthanized wolf spiders, inserted a needle into the chamber of the body that controls the legs, sealed it with glue and then used air to trigger the opening and closing of the legs.

The gripper spiders were able to lift more than their own body weight, including another spider and small objects like parts on a circuit board.
The team sees some advantages to necrobotic spiders. The little grippers can grab irregular objects, blend into their environment and also biodegrade over time. The researchers hope to try this method out with smaller spiders. They also plan to work out how to trigger the legs individually.
As this work advances, I'm looking forward to a new type of Transformers. Necrobots, reach out!
