This week a very strange sky phenomenon appeared over Turkey. It is said that the apparition was a massive lenticular cloud which appeared at sunrise and featured a large hole in the middle. 

The object was spotted over the city of Bursa in Turkey on Thursday, surprising citizens who captured the rare phenomenon on their phones. 

Despite official reports stating that the object was a lenticular cloud, many believe the flying saucer-like apparition was a massive UFO but disguised as a cloud.

California UFO sightings: Dana Point Residents Spot a Pulsating, Snake-Like UAP

Residents of Dana Point, California were left stunned on November 12th, 2022, when an unidentified flying object was spotted in the sky. According to eyewitnesses, the object was a long glowing linear object that appeared to be pulsating and had a snake-like action.

One local resident was able to capture footage of the strange sighting on their phone and posted it on their Instagram account. The video shows the object with a long lighted snake-like movement with a sloth-like slithering motion, which the witness claim that it is not of this world.

This UFO sighting was reported to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), an organization that investigates and records reports of unidentified flying objects.

UFO’S ON THE MOON : TRUTH EXPOSED - FULL HD SCI-FI MOVIE IN ENGLISH

Science now recognizes that the Moon is far older than previously thought, potentially even older than the Earth or the Sun. Our Moon is the only moon in the solar system with a fixed, nearly perfect circular orbit; it is not a solid object. Stories from the past explain how the Moon came to be in orbit. Why are there mysterious geometric structures on the Moon's surface that resemble those in prehistoric Egypt and other parts of Earth? How is it possible that the Moon perfectly eclipses our Sun by miraculous chance? It is mathematically impossible for a total eclipse to occur on Earth if the Sun and Moon are properly aligned.

A ROBOT CHOREOGRAPHER REVEALS WHY M3GAN — AND ALL ROBOTS — SHOULD DANCE

Something about dancing robots seems to tickle people’s fancies. After all, millions of people watched a 2020 video from the robotics company Boston Dynamics of its fancy humanoid and quadrupedal devices getting down to ‘60s soul.

More recently, the murderous (yet campy) villain in the movie M3GAN has captivated the internet with her moves — and even earned recognition as a gay icon. Whether we’re obsessing over grooving robots or moving like robots ourselves, automaton choreography clearly holds a place in our hearts.

So it’s no surprise that a niche research field dubbed choreorobotics has gained traction in recent years. Brown University even has an entire course dedicated to the subject. Not only are labs programming robots to gyrate and hop, but dance experts are also helping scientists give their devices more fluid, human-like movements. Ultimately, this kind of work could help us feel closer to robots in an increasingly automated world.

Kate Sicchio, a choreographer and digital artist at Virginia Commonwealth University, combines her dance and tech knowledge to devise robot performances.Last year, Sicchio worked with Patrick Martin from the university’s engineering department to produce a (surprisingly touching) human-automaton duet. Offstage, she also helps design machines with more realistic motions.

Inverse talked to Sicchio to learn more about choreorobotics — and whether increasingly limber robots could actually become blood-thirsty killers like M3GAN.

WHY DO YOU THINK ROBOT DANCING VIDEOS GET SO POPULAR?

It's really interesting to have this unfamiliar device do this uncanny human thing. It’s similar to why we love putting googly eyes on everything. This makes it human even though it's not supposed to be. And that becomes funny or endearing somehow. It's very popular to make the robot do this very human, expressive thing when it's not human or expressive on its own

WHAT MAKES A ROBOT PERFORMANCE POWERFUL?

One of the things we found is that a robot on its own feels very isolated and cold. We have this piece called “Amelia and the Machine.”In the opening, this dancer is actually moving the robot arm around.

People are really moved by this intimacy with the robot and the fact that she's touching it.

It's a small manipulator robot, so it's probably the size of a toddler. The fact that she’s sitting next to it — that small connection really changes how people see the robot because it's no longer this isolated thing. All of a sudden it has a companion.

WHAT STYLE OF DANCE DO ROBOTS DO BEST?

My home is contemporary dance, so that's where I go first. That tends to work well because, with the robot we’re using, it's not a one-to-one mapping of the human body onto the robot. Sometimes it's hard to do traditional ballet, where there are really specific positions to hit. It’s really hard to map an arabesque onto a robot that doesn't have a leg.

I think contemporary dance, where there's a lot of freedom and creativity in how you develop movement, works well. I would be interested in doing things with dance forms with more rhythm or more structure and timing — that would be a really interesting study to follow up with at some point. More tutting or street dance forms could be really interesting to play with.

THE M3GAN DANCE SEEMS TO FRIGHTEN, OR AT LEAST CONFUSE, VIEWERS. CAN DANCING DEVICES BACKFIRE AND ACTUALLY ALIENATE US FROM ROBOTS?

That’s something that we're also studying. There's this weird space where it totally can go wrong and could be like, “They're trying too much to make it human,” and it just falls short and becomes scary. I think what's interesting about M3GAN is that it's a very humanoid robot. The robots I work with do not look human at all, and I'm not interested in trying to make them look human. I get a lot of recommendations to put costumes on them. But I don't know that it needs a hand or a hat, or a tiara. It’s this weird moment where it can become scary instead of endearing or friendly.

One thing that's interesting about M3GAN is how it quickly becomes a killer robot. That is an ethical concern in this field — where might this go wrong? Could this become weaponized somehow if it becomes so good at moving? That's something I think about, too: How do we keep them ethical? I've never taken DARPA funding, but I know people who have gotten military funding for projects like this.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE HOLLYWOOD DANCING ROBOT SCENE?

The scene from Ex Machina. What I like about that dancing robot scene is it’s kind of the reveal that, guess what, this is all training for this AI robot, and all these women you keep seeing in the house aren't really women — and I'm going to show you because we can do this crazy dance routine together.

What stands out and makes it so interesting is that they do all these disco moves, but their eyes are locked on the guy watching. They never move their heads, which is what makes it so weird and un-human: They never unlock their focus. They're not having fun.

WHAT TYPES OF ROBOTS HAVE THE BEST MOVES?

With simpler robots, you can better appreciate the movement they can do and see how that can be made into something more expressive or more collaborative with the human. I think that’s less scary because it's not trying to be human and then failing.

Most researchers use more simple devices — a lot do big industrial arms. It's almost become a trope, the pretty ballerina with the big industrial arm. And then Boston Dynamics has the bipedal, more human sort of robots. The company’s dance spectacles look seamless, but they are actually really hard to program. So they never do them live, you only see the edited videos. They’re a huge production that takes several days to film to get you three minutes of a Bruno Mars song or whatever.

The humanoid ones are just tricky, that center of gravity thing is really hard — it’s easier when the robot is low to the ground. With our small robots, if you make a movement too fast or wild, it will fall over. So you can imagine a big humanoid robot trying to get it to jump, and land is very difficult.

WHY IS CHOREOROBOTICS IMPORTANT BEYOND PERFORMANCE?

I make stage pieces with Patrick Martin, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering. But we're also doing scientific studies during that process. We found that, because dancers are interested in doing extreme or different movements, they're very good at finding the boundaries of what a robot can do very quickly. A friend of mine calls dancers “extreme user testers.”

We’ve been doing a lot with machine learning and creating new algorithms for robots to move and we’ve been doing that by studying dancers. We do things like motion capture of dancers doing certain gestures, and then see how we can map those to the robot and see if we can get it to move with new qualities or in ways that normal programming hasn't thought of.

I also think it’s interesting when roboticists engage with choreography themselves. We did a workshop with Patrick Martin and his graduate students and some of my dance students — getting them to move. We explored a variety of prompts around moving the body in space, ways to repeat lines of the body with other body parts, and other approaches of responding to the geometry of the body.

When roboticists think about movement, they're always thinking of it outside of their own body. I think about it like getting the robot to follow my arm. Getting roboticists to actually do the dance and be in their bodies is a really interesting place for us to go next. That will start to develop this kind of kinesthetic empathy that perhaps we're searching for with dancing robots. I think roboticists should become dancers.

Is something amiss with Zhurong, China’s first Mars rover? The vehicle was supposed to come out of its months-long hibernation last month, but the Chinese space agency has been tight-lipped about its status, leading some researchers to speculate that it might not have survived the harsh Martian winter and dust storms.

“It wouldn’t be surprising for the rover to fail to come out of hibernation because it is solar-powered, and there’s a long history of solar-powered landers and rovers on Mars running out of power,” says David Flannery, an astrobiologist at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. He is part of the team working on NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover, which runs on nuclear power. Last month, researchers said goodbye to NASA’s solar-powered InSight lander, which succumbed to a dust storm.

RELATED

China has landed its first rover on Mars — here’s what happens next

But others remain optimistic that Zhurong will wake up in the next few months as temperatures warm up enough to charge its battery and as dust storms settle down. “I want to be optimistic that the rover will wake up,” says Baptiste Chide, a planetary scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, who is also part of the Perseverance team.

Zhurong jettisoned from the orbiter Tianwen-1 and plunged down to the vast Utopia Planitia impact basin in Mars’s northern hemisphere on 15 May 2021. It travelled nearly 2 kilometres from its landing site over the space of a year, exceeding its original mission goal of three months. The rover scoped out rocks, craters, sand dunes and even found evidence of past flooding from below the planet’s surface¹.

Dust storm

Last May, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) announced that it had powered Zhurong down because a major dust storm was heading its way. Dust swirling around the atmosphere reduces the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface of Mars. And dust that settles on the rover’s solar panels can also reduce the amount of sunlight it receives, affecting its power generation, says Chide.

Zhurong’s solar panels are made of dust-repellent materials and can be angled to prevent dust settling. But combating dust is an ongoing problem for many Martian missions. “That typically is what finishes a solar-powered mission in the end on Mars,” says Gregory Michael, a planetary scientist at the Free University of Berlin. Sometimes, whirlwinds known as dust devils, can come along and clear the dust off the panels, but that depends on luck, he says.

RELATED

Why the China Mars rover’s landing site has geologists excited

In May, the CNSA said that temperatures would drop to –20 °C during the day and –100 °C at night, and were expected to fall further. Cold temperatures mean that Zhurong needs more energy to keep its battery warm and prevent it from failing. To save energy, engineers typically shut off all scientific instruments, keeping only the communications system on for the rover to alert Earth when it wakes up. Chinese engineers have faced this problem before, says Chide — China’s solar-powered Yutu-2 rover has survived many long, cold nights on the lunar surface.

In September, a member of the Chinese team said they expected Zhurong to make contact when its energy levels had risen to 140 watts and the temperature of its components rose above –15 °C. They had initially expected that to happen by late December, at the end of the Martian winter and dust-storm season.

Researchers often develop models of the Martian atmosphere that can be used to predict when solar-powered spacecraft will revive, but they have lots of uncertainties, says Chide. “It is too soon to say that there is something wrong,” he says.

But the absence of an official update “is strange”, says a Chinese researcher and member of Zhurong’s science team, who requested anonymity to avoid repercussions from talking publicly before an official announcement. The last batch of images from Zhurong was received in June.

If the rover does eventually make contact, scientists will be ready. They hope that it will trundle to unusual geological formations nearby, including a barely visible ghost crater and a possible mud volcano. Together with laser instruments on Curiosity and Perseverance, Zhurong had been collecting data on the chemical make-up of Martian rocks. “I hope it will continue its traverse,” says Chide.

BY ANDY TOMASWICK

When shielded a specific way, EmberCore emits X and Gamma rays that can be directed to a particular location, much like a flashlight. Effectively, the rover’s power source could also power a high-intensity scanning beam. According to the press release provided by the company in association with the announcement of their Phase I award, the beam could travel many kilometers on an airless world. 

As with many remote sensing applications, that beam would then at least partially reflect back towards a sensor mounted on the rover and can be analyzed to detect the material it was reflecting off of. But, X-rays have an additional feature that anyone who has seen a medical one would be familiar with – they can see what’s underneath an object’s surface. Gamma rays can do so as well.

That added advantage makes having a controllable x-ray/gamma-ray remote sensing platform that also serves as the power source of the rover carrying is an exciting innovation and precisely the kind of research that NIAC usually goes for. The outcome of this preliminary research would be a mission design to one of two places on the Moon.

First would be Shackleton Crater, which has long been thought to hold large amounts of water. Accessing that water would be vital to supporting any long-term human effort to live on the Moon. A remote sensing platform that could scan the crater’s surroundings for the most significant deposits on and under the surface would be invaluable for directing astronauts where to look.

Another location would be the famous Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis), where Apollo 11 first touched down on the Moon. It has plenty of exposed rock strata that could provide insights into the geological formation of the Moon. However, they are only accessible by dangerous terrain that would be difficult for any rover to traverse. Hitting them with an EmberCore flashlight would allow a rover to observe them remotely without making the tricky trek to get to them. 

NIAC Phase I grants are a first step down a long road towards being used on a space mission. But USNC, which is based in Seattle and headed by a former Chief Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and its EmberCore technology are starting down that road with this concept, and it’s not the first one they’re doing. They were also funded by the US Military’s Defense Innovation Unit to research a nuclear propulsion engine for spacecraft, also based on the EmberCore engine. There might be plenty of more use cases for this novel innovation in space exploration in the future.

The First 2023 UFO Photo from Venezuela

Venezuela may have captured the first UFO photo of 2023, according to journalist Héctor Escalante. Escalante, who is known for his coverage of UFO sightings in Venezuela, shared the photo on his Instagram account, claiming it was taken by a man named Ricardo Monzón on January 7th in the Miranda Region.
The photo appears to show a disc-shaped unidentified flying object in the sky, and Escalante notes that the shape and orientation of the object do not match that of any street lights in the area, leading him to believe it is not simply a reflection. While the authenticity of the photo has not been confirmed, it has sparked excitement and speculation among UFO enthusiasts in Venezuela and beyond.

VIDEOS! Giant Cigar-Shaped UFO Spotted in Multiple Locations Across South Africa

On January 19th, 2023, a mysterious cigar-shaped UFO was spotted in multiple locations across South Africa, including Thohoyandou, Pretoria, Sandton, Bloemfontein, Bethlehem, Soweto, and Atlanta. Here’s the report of the UFO sighting that seen at around 8:02pm by a group of friends who were catching up next to their home in Thohoyandou.

According to the witness, the object initially appeared to be a very bright star, but as it got closer, it became longer and longer in size. The UFO had several bright straight lights and a ring or halo on its sides. One of the most striking things about the sighting was that no sound was heard coming from the object and it didn’t point in the direction it was going. Instead, it pointed slightly to the right but continued moving straight. The witness also opened her phone to check which satellite it was using the Skyview app and it showed nothing.

As the UFO passed overhead, the witnesses were unable to identify it as anything they had seen before. It was not something that could have been produced by human technology. The object disappeared quickly, becoming dim and then disappearing entirely, possibly at unimaginable speeds.

This day in UFO history: The Varginha UFO Incident

The Varginha UFO incident is considered one of the most well-known and controversial cases in Brazilian ufology. It all began on 20th January 1996, when three young women, sisters Liliane and Valquíria Fátima Silva, and their friend Kátia Andrade Xavier, reported seeing a strange creature while they were out on a walk in a park in Varginha, Brazil.

They described the creature as being around 1.6 meters tall, with a large head and very thin body, with V-shaped feet, brown skin, and large red eyes. They said that the creature seemed to be unsteady or wobbling, and they assumed it was injured or sick. The Silva sisters reported that they were so frightened by the creature that they ran away and told their mother that they had seen the “devil”.

• This UFO Was Shapeshifting Over Brazil

Their mother didn’t believe them at first, but when she went to the area where they had seen the creature, she reportedly smelled a strong ammonia-like odor and found nothing but footprints and a dog sniffing the place. This further added to the mystery of the incident and rumors began to spread throughout the city regarding UFO sightings and alien creatures being abducted by the military forces.

Two days later, another creature was allegedly found lying along a road, and three military trucks were reportedly sent to retrieve it. A similar sighting was reported at the local zoo by its janitor. In the following months, three animals at the zoo mysteriously died. Ufologist Roger Leir wrote a book, “UFO Crash in Brazil,” that included interviews from people who claimed two creatures were taken to a clinic before being removed by military personnel.

According to Eurico de Freitas and Oralina, they saw a UFO hovering over their farm. After going to investigate what was disturbing their cattle, she saw the object hovering over their field for around 40 minutes.

An official investigation carried out by the Brazilian military in 2010 revealed that the Silva sisters actually came across a mentally unstable homeless man named Muddinho.

Military officials presented photos of Mudinho, who they believed was a mentally unstable man with a mental disability. They also believed that the three women might have mistaken him for a space creature due to his physical characteristics.

An officer Lieutenant Colonel Lúcio Carlos Finholdt Pereira leading the investigation noted that the military vehicles were operating normally that night.

He also noted that the presence of military vehicles and firefighters in the area was not a coincidence. The officers explained that the activities of the military and firefighters that night were actually real.

The incident has sparked numerous theories and speculations, with many people convinced that the Brazilian government is hiding the truth about the capture of extraterrestrial beings. Despite the official explanation, the incident remains a subject of debate and interest among UFO enthusiasts and researchers. The incident has also been the subject of several films and documentaries, further fueling the publicinterest in the case.

Despite the official explanation, many people remain skeptical and believe that the Brazilian government is hiding the truth about the capture of extraterrestrial beings. Some have pointed to alleged inconsistencies in the official story, such as the fact that the military trucks were seen in the area at the time of the creature’s sighting and that the creatures’ descriptions did not match that of a homeless person. Some ufologists have also pointed to the presence of strange markings and burn marks on the creature’s body, which they believe were caused by military equipment used to capture the creature.

The incident has also been the subject of several films and documentaries, including “The Varginha Incident” and “UFOs in Brazil: The Varginha Case.” These productions have further fueled the public’s interest in the case and have brought it to a global audience.

Despite the lack of concrete evidence and the official explanation, the Varginha UFO incident remains one of the most well-known and debated cases in Brazilian ufology. It continues to be a subject of interest among researchers, UFO enthusiasts, and the general public, who are all searching for answers about what really happened in Varginha in 1996.

NASA Scientists Speechless...Massive Unexplained Anomalies in the Saturn System

A series of remarkable images taken by the Hubble telescope indicate extraterrestrial explorers could be using Saturn's rings to power their spaceships. These images had been carefully analysed, and astonishingly, these ships are estimated to be at least 7000-mile-long. Furthermore, they might be heading this way!

15 Most Controversial Recent Archaeological Discoveries!

It is actually very normal for new finds and discoveries to first puzzle scientists in their relevant fields. What is a new discovery all about, what is its context and what can it tell us that is significant to the bigger picture? But then there are discoveries that do not simply cause speechlessness for a moment. Many finds cannot be explained or put into a larger context, even years later, and quickly these things become a great mystery to the relevant fields. This is also the case with the following examples, which have been analysed frequently and for which there are many theories, but proof for these theories is still lacking in many cases.

UFO with Cloud Trail Over Hoofddorp, Netherlands On Jan 17, 2023, Video, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: Jan 17, 2023
Location of sighting: Hoofddorp, Netherlands

 

Hey check this out. Here is a sighting recorded in Netherlands two days ago and a dark object was seen in the sky leaving a contrail-like cloud behind it. The sky was overcast and easy for it to hide, but it still stood out well. From the looks of it, it appears to be the size of city bus and yet, its just sitting there, as if waiting for something. I wish we had more footage of this. It looks like it came from an underground base, made its way to apoint where it will sit, but I have a feeling it pointed areas each had a single ball of light that lights up when it powers up for shooting away. Seen such things before in other reports. Fantastic capture.

Unprecedented astronomical events...

1. Changes on planets, stars and sun (1859-Now) 

2. Solar killshot (Technological) - (2020s/2030s) 

3. Weather, animals, the solar red and black (2030s) 

4. Solar micronova event (2030s/2040s) 

5. Shell impact, Arc discharge (within hours) 

6. Whole planet electrical insult (within minutes) 

7. Earth turns over, impactors, cold (begins immediately - lasts days/weeks) 

Coincidental or not but the analysis of Suspicious0bservers is comparable with some of Baba Vanga's predictions, that a big astronomical event will occur as Earth's orbit will change and as a result of this event, it could have catastrophic consequences on Earth as well as the Earth will be hit by an unprecedented solar storm on a scale the world has never before seen.

Is a disaster unfolding?

Astonishing UFO sighting in Texas

Unidentified flying objects spotted in Texas? Discover the mysterious lights that left experts stumped and have people questioning if it’s proof of a UFO or just a mystery in our latest article.

In September 2018, a group of friends in Tomball, Texas were astounded by mysterious lights in the sky. Three teardrop-shaped glowing objects appeared to be hovering in a deliberate, coordinated motion. Nick Daily, one of the friends who witnessed the event, stated that they would circle around in formation and then come back to a triangle formation, describing the experience as “incredible”. He also stated that, as an ex-military member, he had never seen anything like it.

According to author and journalist Alexis Brooks, this is far from the first time mysterious lights have been spotted in Texas. In April 2022, similar lights were seen in the town of Kyle, Texas. These lights had an orange glow and local officials were unable to provide an explanation.

• Insane Video of Triangle Shaped UFO Flying over Texas

The lights in Tomball have also been described as “phasing”, where the craft change their atomic structure so that they appear to be dematerializing and rematerializing. This has led some to speculate that the lights were UFOs.

To get to the bottom of the incident, video forensic expert Michael Primeau and aviation expert Tim McMillan were consulted. Primeau determined that the footage appeared to be authentic and that no known file signatures were identified. McMillan stated that the movements of the lights were not consistent with fixed-wing aircraft and that they were too close to be conventional aircraft.

Astronomer and video effects editor Marc D’Antonio was also consulted. While he could not provide a definitive explanation for the lights, he did note that the incident in Tomball was alone reported UFO sighting in Texas. In fact, one of the first reported UFO incidents in Texas was on April 17, 1897, when a UFO crashed on a farm near Aurora, Texas, with claims of an alien pilot found dead inside.

The question remains: were the lights in Tomball proof of a UFO or just a mystery the size of the Lone Star State? The experts can only provide their analysis of the footage, but it is up to the viewer to come to their own conclusion.

UFOs in Germany: The unsolved mystery of the Greifswald incident

Uncover the unsolved mystery of the Greifswald UFO incident of 1990. Witness accounts & theories analyzed in search of proof of intelligent life from other worlds.

On August 24, 1990, a group of UFO researchers set out on a journey from Xanten to Usedom to investigate a mysterious incident involving unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in Greifswald. The incident had occurred a few weeks prior and had generated a lot of buzz in the local community, with many people claiming to have seen strange lights in the sky. The researchers were determined to get to the bottom of the mystery and find out what had really happened.

• Mysterious UFO spotted over Tamaulipas highway, Mexico

The first stop on their journey was Ahlbeck, a small town on the island of Usedom. This is where one of the most well-known witnesses of the incident, Jens Hollard, lived. Hollard had been sitting in a beer garden with his girlfriend on the night of the incident and had seen something that he couldn’t explain. The researchers met with Hollard and listened intently as he recounted his experience.

“I was sitting here with my girlfriend, enjoying a beer and the nice weather, when I saw something strange in the sky,” said Hollard. “At first, I thought it was an airplane, but it was moving in ways that I had never seen before. It was moving up and down, and it seemed to change shape. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

Hollard went on to describe how the object had appeared to be made up of several smaller lights that were all moving together in unison. He said that it was difficult to tell how far away the object was, but it seemed to be moving very quickly. He also mentioned that he had heard no sound coming from the object.

The researchers asked Hollard if he had any idea what the object could have been. He shook his head and said, “I have no idea. I’m not a UFO fanatic or anything like that, but this is definitely something that I’ve never seen before. It’s definitely not a normal aircraft.”

The researchers thanked Hollard for his time and set out to interview other witnesses. The next stop was the town of Greifswald, where they met with Kettmann, another witness of the incident. Kettmann had been in the town square on the night of the incident and had seen a chain of bright lights in the sky.

“It was amazing,” said Kettmann. “The whole square was full of people looking up at the sky. The lights were just hanging there, not moving. They were like glowing orbs. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

Kettmann went on to say that the lights had been visible for several hours, which he found to be unusual. He said that military flares typically only last for a few minutes, but these lights had been visible for much longer. He also mentioned that he had heard no sound coming from the lights.

The researchers thanked Kettmann for his time and set out to investigate further. They spoke with several other witnesses and examined the area where the lights had been seen. They also searched for any possible physical evidence, such as debris or burn marks on the ground. However, they were unable to find any concrete evidence that could explain the incident.

Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the researchers were convinced that something strange and unexplained had occurred in Greifswald on August 24, 1990. The accounts of the witnesses were too consistent and detailed to be dismissed as mere hoaxes or hallucinations. The researchers continued to investigate the incident, hoping to find definitive proof of intelligent life from other worlds.

The Greifswald UFO incident remains a mystery to this day. The researchers never found any concrete evidence that could explain the incident, but the accounts of the witnesses and their detailed descriptions of the event are intriguing and leave open the possibility of something truly mysterious and unexplained. The incident has been studied by UFO researchers and enthusiasts for decades, and it continues to generate interest and speculation.

One theory that has been put forward to explain the incident is that the lights were some kind of military experiment or test. However, this theory has been debunked by the fact that no military exercises were taking place in the area at the time and that the lights were visible for several hours, which is much longer than the typical duration of a military flare.

Another theory is that the lights were some kind of natural phenomenon, such as a meteor shower or a display of the Northern Lights. However, this theory is also unlikely, as the lights were seen in a specific location and were moving in a coordinated fashion, which is not characteristic of a meteor shower or aurora.

Despite the lack of a clear explanation, the Greifswald UFO incident remains one of the most intriguing and well-documented UFO sightings in recent history. The researchers involved in the investigation continue to search for answers, and the hope remains that one day they will find the ultimate proof that intelligent life from other worlds exists.

In conclusion, the mysterious lights of the Greifswald UFO incident, August 24, 1990, are still unsolved till today, it is still a topic for discussion for UFO enthusiasts and researchers. The detailed accounts of the witnesses and the lack of any concrete evidence make it a mysterious and intriguing event that leaves open the possibility of the existence of intelligent life from other worlds.
