“We’ve already heard from colleagues that they’ve downloaded the data and are starting to analyze it — which is exactly what we want,” Byrne said. “Other people will come up with questions we haven’t, about volcano shape, size, distribution, timing of activity in different parts of the planet, you name it. I’m excited to see what they can figure out with the new database!”

Two days ago the ISS live stream captured an unknown object that suddenly appeared above the Arabian Sea. 

The strange object not only turns into a what looks like a portal or planet but it rotates and it moves through space until it slowly disappears again. 

Could this object be an interdimensional portal that gave a glimpse of a parallel universe or could it have been a UFO or a small celestial body that cloaked and uncloaked itself? 

While is unknown what the object may have been, one commenter questioned: "Could the ISS be layering an image to block out any UFO we may see and that was a spot that the real view got thru? 

Whatever it was, it remains a mystery what exactly happened above the Arabian Sea. 

Take a look at the strange appearance:

The Craziest Alien Theories That Will Blow Your Mind

When it comes to the existence of extraterrestrial life, there’s no shortage of imaginative and wild theories. Some are grounded in scientific speculation, while others are purely the products of vivid imaginations. In this article, we explore some of the craziest alien theories that have intrigued and entertained UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists alike. Fasten your seatbelts; we’re going on a journey to the outer limits of human imagination

1. The Reptilian Elite Theory

One of the most bizarre theories is that shape-shifting reptilian aliens control the world’s governments and major institutions. These extraterrestrial beings, known as the Reptilian Elite, are said to be able to take human form, infiltrating powerful organizations to manipulate global events and enslave humanity. Proponents of this theory often cite alleged sightings of prominent figures, such as politicians and celebrities, briefly revealing their reptilian nature.

2. The Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis

The ancient astronaut hypothesis posits that extraterrestrial beings visited Earth in the distant past and played a crucial role in the development of human civilization. Proponents of this theory argue that ancient structures like the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, and the Moai statues on Easter Island are too advanced for the civilizations of that time, suggesting alien intervention or guidance. They also point to ancient texts and artwork depicting otherworldly beings and flying craft as evidence of these cosmic encounters.

3. The Hollow Earth Theory
   This theory proposes that the Earth is hollow, with an entire civilization of advanced beings living beneath our feet. These subterranean beings, sometimes referred to as “Agarthans” or “Lemurians,” are said to reside in a world lit by a central sun, complete with oceans, continents, and advanced technology. Some variations of the Hollow Earth theory claim that these inner-Earth inhabitants are actually extraterrestrial in origin, having retreated underground to escape surface cataclysms or hostile alien races.

4. The Moon as an Alien Base

Some conspiracy theorists propose that the Moon is not a natural satellite but an artificial construct or even a spacecraft, created by advanced extraterrestrial beings. This theory suggests that the Moon is hollow, and its dark side is home to alien bases and facilities. Proponents of this idea often point to alleged anomalies in lunar photographs, such as unexplained lights or structures, as evidence of extraterrestrial activity.

5. The Galactic Federation

This outlandish theory claims that Earth is part of a vast interstellar alliance called the Galactic Federation, comprising numerous extraterrestrial species that have banded together to maintain peace and order in the galaxy. According to this theory, Earth’s governments are aware of the existence of the Galactic Federation and maintain secret communications with its members. Some versions of the theory even assert that the Federation is actively involved in preventing catastrophic events on Earth, such as nuclear war or asteroid impacts.

The world of alien theories is filled with fascinating, outlandish, and sometimes downright bizarre ideas. While most of these theories lack concrete evidence or scientific support, they do offer a window into the boundless creativity of the human mind. As we continue to explore the cosmos and search for signs of extraterrestrial life, it’s important to keep an open mind while remaining grounded in the principles of critical thinking and scientific inquiry.

What is an exoplanet?

Source: CNN

Astronomers have detected a repeating radio signal from an exoplanet and the star that it orbits, both located 12 light-years away from Earth. The signal suggests that the Earth-size planet may have a magnetic field and perhaps even an atmosphere.

Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet’s atmosphere, which life needs to survive, by deflecting energetic particles and plasma that stream out from the sun. Finding atmospheres around planets located outside of our solar system could point to other worlds that potentially have the ability to support life.

Scientists noticed strong radio waves coming from the star YZ Ceti and the rocky exoplanet that orbits it, called YZ Ceti b, during observations using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array of telescopes in New Mexico. The researchers believe the radio signal was created by interactions between the planet’s magnetic field and the star.

A study detailing the findings was published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy.

James Webb Space Telescope discovers its first exoplanet

“We saw the initial burst and it looked beautiful,” said lead study author Sebastian Pineda, a research astrophysicist at the University of Colorado Boulder, in a statement. “When we saw it again, it was very indicative that, OK, maybe we really have something here.”

Magnetic fields can prevent a planet’s atmosphere from being diminished and essentially eroded away over time as particles release from the star and bombard it, Pineda said.

How strong radio waves occur

In order for the radio waves to be detectable on Earth, they must be very strong, the researchers said.

“Whether a planet survives with an atmosphere or not can depend on whether the planet has a strong magnetic field or not,” Pineda said.

Previously, researchers have detected magnetic fields on exoplanets similar in size to Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. But finding magnetic fields on smaller planets the size of Earth is more difficult because magnetic fields are essentially invisible.

Second potentially habitable Earth-size planet found orbiting nearby star

“What we’re doing is looking for a way to see them,” said study coauthor Jackie Villadsen, assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, in a statement.

“We’re looking for planets that are really close to their stars and are a similar size to Earth,” she said. “These planets are way too close to their stars to be somewhere you could live, but because they are so close the planet is kind of plowing through a bunch of stuff coming off the star. If the planet has a magnetic field and it plows through enough star stuff, it will cause the star to emit bright radio waves.”

YZ Ceti b only takes two Earth days to complete a single orbit around its star. Meanwhile, the shortest orbit in our solar system is the planet Mercury, which takes 88 Earth days to complete a lap around the sun.

While YZ Ceti b whips around its star, plasma from the star collides with the planet’s magnetic field, bounces off and interacts with the star’s magnetic field. All of these energetic reactions create and release strong radio waves that can be detected on Earth.

This illustration depicts plasma emitted by a star deflected by the magnetic field of the exoplanet orbiting it. The plasma then interacts with the star's magnetic field, creating an aurora and radio waves.

Alice Kitterman/National Science Foundation

The researchers measured the radio waves they detected to determine the strength of the planet’s magnetic field.

“This is telling us new information about the environment around stars,” Pineda said. “This idea is what we’re calling ‘extrasolar space weather.’”

In our solar system, activity on the sun can create space weather that impacts Earth. Energetic bursts from the sun can disrupt satellites and global telecommunications and cause dazzling light shows near Earth’s poles, like the aurora borealis, or northern lights.

Scientists imagine that the interactions between YZ Ceti and its planet also create an aurora, but this light show actually takes place on the star.

“We’re actually seeing the aurora on the star — that’s what this radio emission is,” Pineda said. “There should also be aurora on the planet if it has its own atmosphere.”

Rocky exoplanet candidate

The researchers think that YZ Ceti b is the best candidate spotted so far for a rocky exoplanet with a magnetic field.

“This could really plausibly be it,” Villadsen said. “But I think it’s going to be a lot of follow-up work before a really strong confirmation of radio waves caused by a planet comes out.”

New radio telescopes preparing to become operational this decade could help astronomers make more detections of signals that suggest magnetic fields, the researchers said.

“The search for potentially habitable or life-bearing worlds in other solar systems depends in part on being able to determine if rocky, Earth-like exoplanets actually have magnetic fields,” said Joe Pesce, program director for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, in a statement. “This research shows not only that this particular rocky exoplanet likely has a magnetic field but provides a promising method to find more.”

“We choose to go to back to the moon, and on to Mars,” Nelson said. “And we’re going to do it together, because in the 21st century, NASA explores the cosmos with international partners. We will unlock new knowledge and understanding. We’ve always dreamed about what more is ahead. Why? Because it’s in our DNA. It’s part of us. It’s who we are, as adventurers, as explorers, as frontierspeople.”

Dozens of astronauts and scores of VIPs attended today’s big reveal at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas. Joe Acaba — the chief of the Astronaut Office — joked onstage about the secrecy that surrounded the selection of the four Artemis II crew members. “I’ll give you one hint: I am not one of them,” he said, drawing a laugh. “Don’t be so happy about that.”

Metaphorically speaking, the stage was set for Artemis II last fall when NASA’s Space Launch System sent an uncrewed Orion deep-space capsule on a weeks-long Artemis I mission around the moon and back. That flight was designed to test NASA’s hardware and procedures for Artemis II — and for the even more ambitious Artemis III mission, which currently aims to put astronauts on the lunar surface in late 2025.

The flight plan for the 10-day Artemis II mission, officially planned for November 2024, is analogous to the Apollo 8 round-the-moon mission in 1968. As was the case for Artemis I, the trip would begin with an SLS launch — but this time with people instead of test dummies inside the Orion capsule. After an initial systems checkout in high Earth orbit, the crew would fly past the moon and then make a gravity-assisted turnaround 6,400 miles beyond lunar orbit. The return to Earth would feature a 25,000 mph re-entry and an Apollo-style splashdown.

“Am I excited? Absolutely,” Christina Koch, who would become the first woman to see the moon’s far side with her own eyes, told today’s audience. “But my real question is, are you excited? I see you and I ask that, because the one thing I’m most excited about is that we are going to carry your excitement, your aspirations, your dreams with us on this mission.”

Jeremy Hansen, the only space rookie on the Artemis II crew, gave a shout-out to America’s leadership in space and Canada’s “can-do attitude.” His role on the mission recognizes Canadian contributions to NASA’s space effort, including the robotic arms for the space shuttle and the International Space Station as well as a lunar utility vehicle that Canadian companies are building for moon missions.

“For decades now, literally thousands upon thousands of Canadians have risen to that challenge to bring real value to the international partnership with respect to space exploration, to bring real solutions,” Hansen said.

Victor Glover, who became the first Black astronaut to join a long-duration crew on the International Space Station in 2020, said the hoopla surrounding the Artemis II mission had a Hollywood feel to it. “I feel like Denzel Washington should be up here talking to you, but you just got us,” he said with a laugh.

“Human spaceflight is like a relay race,” Glover said. “And that baton has been passed from generation to generation, and from crew member to crew member, from Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Apollo-Soyuz, Skylab, Mir, the shuttle, International Space Station, commercial crew and now the Artemis missions. We understand our role in that. And when we have the privilege of having that baton, we’re going to do our best to run a good race, to make you proud.”

Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman closed out the ceremony with a round of thanks to NASA’s workforce, its international partners — and particularly to his fellow astronauts, including the International Space Station’s current crew.

“If any of you over there are looking for heroes, go Google these folks, because they’re our heroes,” Wiseman said.

This illustration shows how gravitational lensing works. The gravity of a large galaxy cluster is so strong it bends, brightens, and distorts the light of distant galaxies behind it.

Credit: NASA, ESA, L. Calcada

Gravitational Lensing (GL) refers to a phenomenon predicted by General Relativity, which describes how spacetime curvature is warped by the presence of massive objects. This technique involves astronomers using massive objects in the foreground (like galaxies or galaxy clusters) to amplify light from more distant objects. This enables astronomers to study objects that would otherwise be inaccessible to them, either because of distance or the presence of other objects along the same line of sight. This technique also allows astronomers to study distant objects in greater detail, such as the Abell 1201 cluster.

Dr. Nightingale and his associates began studying this cluster in 2004 when Prof. Alastair Edge, a fellow Durham University astronomer and a co-author of this paper, reviewed images of a galactic survey and noticed a giant lens in its vicinity. For this study, Dr. Nightingale, Prof. Edge, and their colleagues consulted data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in multiple bands – including visible light, X-rays, and other wavelengths. Following up on what Hubble saw years ago, the team compared the data to simulations on the new DiRAC COSmology MAchine 8 (COSMA8) supercomputer facilities at Durham University.

Using open-source software (PyAutoLens) that astronomers rely on to model strong lenses, the team simulated light traveling between Abell 2021 and Earth thousands of times. Each simulation included a black hole with a different mass and how this would influence the way the light traveled over 2.7 billion years to reach Earth. Their results showed that a UMBH located in the foreground galaxy, over 30 billion times as massive as our Sun, would account for what Hubble saw. Astronomers rarely see black holes this massive, and this find (if confirmed) would constitute the largest black hole ever detected.

On top of that, it was the first time astronomers used the GL technique to detect such a massive black hole. What’s more, it could help astronomers learn more about UMBHs and dormant black holes in the future. Ordinarily, astronomers are largely restricted to studying active black holes because of how bright they are in multiple wavelengths. This is caused by gas and dust being pulled in toward black holes and forming tightly-bound disks that are accelerated to velocities approaching the speed of light (aka. relativistic speed).

This causes the material in the disk to become highly energetic, emitting radiation in visible light, infrared, X-rays, radio waves, and other wavelengths. The same occurs when the material infalls and is accreted onto the face of the black hole, being torn apart at the subatomic level. This is characteristic of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN), where a galaxy’s center shines brighter than all the stars in the galactic disks. This study has shown how dormant black holes, which are significantly less luminous, can be inferred by the presence of a powerful GL.

The team hopes that this study will lead to deeper explorations of black holes, which will benefit from the new class of 30-meter telescopes that will become operational in the near future. These include the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), which will combine greater sensitivity with adaptive optics and interferometers. Along with improved data analysis and new methods, astronomers will likely be able to study even more distant black holes and gain additional insights into these behemoths.

Denver’s Hidden Secrets: Underground Bunkers and The Elite’s Escape Plan

The thought of a catastrophic event leading to the annihilation of a large percentage of Earth’s population is both intriguing and terrifying. While we can’t predict when or how such a disaster may strike, it’s worth considering the measures that have been put in place to protect select individuals in the face of catastrophe. In the United States, the chosen few would likely find refuge in Denver, Colorado – a location shrouded in mystery, conspiracy theories, and rumored connections to UFOs and aliens.

A Haven for the Elite

It’s no secret that world leaders and key government figures, like the President of the United States and Vice President, would be taken to secure underground facilities in the event of a doomsday scenario. Members of Congress and the military would also find themselves in protected locations. But what about the civilians? There are facilities around the world designed to house thousands of people, but who gets to decide who is saved and who is left behind?

• Operation Highjump | Mission: Find and Destroy the Secret Nazi UFO Base In An...

The Denver Connection

Denver, Colorado, has long been associated with conspiracy theories and underground bunkers. One of the most famous theories revolves around the Denver International Airport, which has sparked numerous speculations due to its unusual artwork, Masonic symbols, and rumors of a vast network of underground tunnels.

Some believe that Denver International Airport serves as a cover for an extensive underground bunker system, built to house the elite in the event of a cataclysmic event. In 2011, when the Comet Elenin was headed towards Earth, President Obama was reportedly taken to a secret facility near Denver Airport instead of the usual Cheyenne Mountain bunker.

UFOs, Aliens, and Area 51

Adding to the mystery surrounding Denver is the purported connection to UFOs, aliens, and the infamous Area 51. Denver International Airport, with its peculiar design, has been linked to extraterrestrial activity, fueling speculations that the underground bunkers may serve a dual purpose – not only to protect the elite but also to hide evidence of alien encounters and advanced technologies.

Area 51, a highly classified US Air Force facility located in Nevada, has long been the subject of conspiracy theories related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life. While there is no direct evidence connecting Area 51 to the alleged underground bunkers in Denver, the secrecy surrounding both locations has led some to believe that they may be part of a larger, covert network of facilities designed to deal with potential alien contact and technology.

The Veil of Secrecy

The existence of these hidden bunkers and the role of Denver in sheltering the chosen few during an apocalyptic event, as well as its possible connections to UFOs and aliens, remains shrouded in secrecy. While many dismiss these theories as baseless conspiracies, others argue that the government’s reluctance to address these questions fuels suspicion.

Conclusion

As we continue to ponder the possibility of a catastrophic event that could force humanity to “reset,” the debate around underground bunkers, the elite’s escape plans, and Denver’s mysterious role in the world of UFOs and aliens will likely persist. Ultimately, the question of who gets to survive while the rest of the population is left to face the consequences is a sobering reminder of the potential inequality in the face of disaster and the importance of transparency and accountability from governments around the world.

NASA reveals the crew for its first moon mission in 50 YEARS: Victor Glover becomes first person of color while Christina Koch becomes the first WOMAN to get called up for Artemis II lunar launch

• NASA has unveiled the crew that will take part in Artemis II mission
• It includes the first person of colour and first woman selected for a moon mission
• They will fly around the moon in NASA's Orion spacecraft in 18 months time

By FIONA JACKSON  and SHIVALI BEST FOR MAILONLIN

NASA has revealed the identities of the four astronauts who will make the first trip to the moon in 50 years as part of the Artemis II mission.

Victor Glover, 46, from Pomona, California, becomes the first person of color selected for lunar moon mission, while Christina Koch, 44, from Grand Rapids, Michigan, becomes the first woman.

They have been chosen alongside Reid Wiseman, 47, from Baltimore, Maryland and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, 47.

This mission will see them fly around the moon in NASA's Orion spacecraft in 18 months' time, reaching a maximum altitude of 5,523 miles above the surface.

Artemis II is the second leg of NASA's new moon program for the 21st century, which will see a separate team land on the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.

NASA has revealed the identities of the four astronauts will make the first trip to the moon since 1972 as part of the Artemis II mission. Victor Glover (second from left), 46, becomes the first person of color selected for a moon mission, while Christina Koch (second from right), 44, becomes the first woman. They have been chosen alongside Reid Wiseman (left), 47, from Baltimore, Maryland and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, 47 (right)

 The newly announced crew will have already embarked on training for the mission but their identities have remained top secret ahead of today's press conference

It follows Artemis I, an uncrewed mission which launched in November 2022 and successfully returned to Earth 25 days later after circling the moon.

This tested Orion's technologies, including its heat shield, to ensure the future astronauts' safety for when they lift off in 2024.

The newly announced crew will have already embarked on training for the mission - but their identities have remained top secret ahead of today's press conference.

Victor Glover was selected as an astronaut in 2013 and became the first African American ISS expedition crewmember to live on the ISS seven years later.

He served as pilot and second-in-command on the Crew-1 SpaceX Crew Dragon, named Resilience, which arrived at the space station in 2020.

Christina Koch is the record holder for the longest single spaceflight by a woman, having spent 328 days in orbit during her trip to the ISS between 2019 and 2020.

That surpassed the previous record of 288 days held by Peggy Whitson.

Just a few months prior, Koch and another female astronaut, Jessica Meir, completed the first all-woman spacewalk.

Following her record-breaking ISS mission, Koch was included in Time's Most Influential People of 2020.

Victor Glover (pictured) was selected as an astronaut in 2013 and became the first African American ISS expedition crewmember to live on the ISS seven years later

Wiseman is a 47-year-old test pilot who stepped down as chief of the astronaut office in November last year.

The astronaut holding this role is traditionally involved in assigning crews for each space mission — but is not eligible to fly themselves.

This led to rumors that the decorated naval aviator's resignation could signify his involvement in the first moon mission in 50 years.

This turned out to be true, as he was named Commander of the mission.

Hansen, from London, Canada, has never been to space but was the favorite among four potential Canadian Space Agency astronauts to get the nod for Artemis II.

• STEP INSIDE NASA'S ORION SPACECRAFT

peculation has been rife about who could be aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft, with at least one female astronaut strongly expected to be among them. 

NASA associate administrator Jim Free said in a statement: 'We're looking forward to that crew flying on Artemis II.

'Right now, there's nothing holding us up based on what we learned on Artemis I.'

Artemis II, which is scheduled to take place in late November 2024, will take a four-person crew around the moon but won't land on it.

That honor is due to fall to Artemis III the following year. 

It is part of NASA's ambitious program that aims to return humans to the moon for the first time since the historic Apollo missions ended in 1972.

The US space agency hopes to establish a lasting human presence on the lunar surface and later launch a years-long trip to Mars.

Only 12 people – all of them white men – have set foot on the moon.

The last to leave his footprints on the surface was Eugene Cernan, commander of the Apollo 17 mission. 

Artemis II is a follow up to the Artemis I mission, which completed a 25-day mission around the moon in late 2022. It blasted into space on NASA's new Space Launch System rocket (pictured)

• WHERE ARE THE APOLLO ASTRONAUTS NOW? 

Just before leaving, Cernan dropped to one knee and etched his daughter Tracey's initials, 'TDC', into the lunar soil. 

Because the moon has no wind or atmosphere, it will likely remain there for a very long time.

Cernan, who died in 2017 aged 82, was joined on the surface by scientist Harrison Schmitt.

Schmitt was the only person without a background in military aviation to walk on the moon.

Making up the Apollo 17 crew was Ronald Evans, who was the last human to orbit the moon alone.

At 147 hours and 43 minutes, he also holds the record for the most time spent in lunar orbit after serving as command module pilot for the mission.

Evans died of a heart attack aged 56 in 1990. 

Artemis I launched on November 16, 2022. The program, however, was plagued with numerous delays that pushed the maiden launch data back since August. 

The $4 billion Space Launch System endured fuel leak concerns, engine issues and escaped the clutches of not one but two hurricanes.

NASA said during the November launch that if all went well, the world could see humans take the same journey in 2024 - and the hope is becoming a reality.

'Our plan has always been 12 months, but there are significant developments that have to occur,' Free said.

'We're still sticking with that 12 months, but we're always looking at the development of all the hardware that has to come together for that.'

NASA also recently unveiled a prototype of the next generation spacesuits being made by Axiom Space that the NASA astronauts will wear on the moon's surface.

NASA announced Tuesday it is on track to send four people around the moon and back in 2024. The crew will launch atop the Artemis Space Launch System (SLS) rocket

De eerste vlucht uit het project was Artemis I, die begon op 16 november. Het onbemande ruimteschip vloog naar de maan, draaide een paar rondjes eromheen en begon daarna aan de terugvlucht. Op 11 december plonsde de capsule in de Grote Oceaan.

Op het verste punt was het ruimteschip ongeveer 430.000 kilometer van de aarde verwijderd, volgens de NASA meer dan duizend keer zo ver weg als het internationale ruimtestation ISS. Nog nooit is een ruimteschip dat voor mensen is gebouwd zo ver weg gevlogen. Het is nu de bedoeling dat de vier astronauten ongeveer dezelfde ruimtereis zullen ondernemen.

NSA whistleblower and american hero Edward Snowden agrees with us here at Redacted that all of this UFO talk is just a distraction to take your mind off of what’s really going on here. Take your mind off Seymour Hersh’s bombshell report that the US blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. Distract us all from the coming WW3 that NATO is actively pulling us into.

UFO Haunts 10-year-old Boy

In July 2021, Randy Young from Oklahoma decided to break his silence and share a UFO encounter he had experienced as a ten-year-old boy in 1975. The event took place at Miracle Mountains boarding school in Hartshorn, Oklahoma, where Randy and his brother witnessed an unusual circular shining light hovering in the sky.

• Weather Balloon or UFO? | The Mantell UFO Incident

Upon receiving Randy’s report, Mindy Totfest, the Oklahoma State MUFON director, recognized the potential significance of this case in UFO history. Her investigation led her to interview other individuals who were at the school during the time of the sighting, including Philip Buchanan, an older student, and a teacher who communicated via email. The accounts collected from these interviews revealed a consensus among witnesses, with some children even describing shape-shifting entities.

Mindy then asked the witnesses to draw the UFO they had seen. The striking consistency between the drawings further supported the credibility of their accounts. This cold case highlights the importance of organizations like MUFON in documenting and investigating UFO sightings, both old and new.

The value of older cases lies in their ability to validate more recent sightings and contribute to the larger body of knowledge surrounding unidentified flying objects. This particular case from 1975, with witnesses describing the same event despite not having spoken to each other for decades, serves as a fascinating example of the enduring significance of UFO encounters throughout history.

The stories of UFOs we hear today echo those from our distant past, when our ancestors documented their experiences with mysterious aerial phenomena through cave paintings and carvings. As we continue to investigate these enigmatic encounters, we may uncover even more connections between the past and the present, further enriching our understanding of the unknown.

Terry Lovelace Alien Abduction Is Most Convincing UFO Encounter With Biological Evidence

Terry Lovelace, a retired assistant attorney general and lawyer, who served as a media and EMT in the United States Air Force from 1973 to 1979, claims that an extraterrestrial craft took him. Lovelace claims to be repeatedly abducted by aliens, fitted with a tracking device and experimented on.

In 1973, Lovelace joined the U.S. Air Force immediately after graduating from high school. He received training as a medic/EMT and was stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, which was previously called Sedalia Air Force Base. The base served as a B-2 bomber base and missile base and was home to the 351st Strategic Missile Wing, with many Minuteman II nuclear-armed ICBM silos scattered across the rural area.

Lovelace was assigned as a base medic and drove an ambulance during the graveyard shift from 11 PM to 8 AM along with his partner, who he referred to as “Toby.” One night in January 1975, while on their regular shift, they were outside the ambulance stargazing when Toby, an amateur astronomer, pointed out the constellations and planets. Typically, their shifts were uneventful, but that night turned out to be very significant, altering the course of their lives.

Lovelace (now 69) went camping with Toby at Devil’s Den state park in northern Arkansas. While conversing near a crackling fire, they had difficulty hearing each other due to the loud sounds of crickets and tree frogs. Suddenly, an eerie silence enveloped them. “That sounds kind of clichéd – out of a movie – but that is exactly what happened to us,” he said.

As they gazed toward the horizon, three bright UFOs emerged and advanced in their direction. As the lights drew closer, the two partners could see that they were emanating from a black triangular prism as wide as two city blocks.

Lovelace noticed a blue laser beam rapidly moving across them, possibly scanning their presence. Soon after it stopped, they lost consciousness. Upon awakening, he noticed Toby gazing outside the tent, and spotted a triangle-shaped object hovering above a group of approximately twelve children who were standing in a meadow below them. Lovelace questioned, “Why are these children out here at this time of night?”

“They aren’t little kids. Don’t you remember they took us and they hurt us?” Toby answered.

According to Lovelace, when Toby uttered those words, he experienced a sudden recall of memories of being inside a UFO. In later years, he resorted to hypnosis to recover his missing memories. Through one of these sessions, Lovelace recollected an incident where he had been taken aboard a spacecraft and subjected to medical experimentation by peculiar entities.

Those entities were humanoid forms, but their characteristics were distorted and almost non-human. They communicated with each other through telepathy and seemed to be performing a medical procedure on Lovelace. During his hypnosis sessions, Lovelace experienced flashes of memory where he was on an examination table and screaming, but no sound was coming out of his mouth. He could hear telepathic messages in his head, urging him to stop screaming because they did not intend to harm him and would take him back.

Lovelace said that they had a terrible experience that left their skin red and sore like a bad sunburn all over their body, even the soles of their feet. They had to go to the hospital at the base for two days because they were very dehydrated.

While they were there, they were questioned many times by some men who said they were from the “Office of Special Investigations.” They searched his home and car for a camera that Lovelace said he did not have, but they did not believe him. They also told him not to see his partner Toby again, who was sent to another base. The whole experience made Lovelace have nightmares and affected him mentally for a long time.

Terry Lovelace was profoundly disturbed by his encounter and left with numerous unanswered queries. Subsequently, he authored a book titled “Incident at Devils Den: A True Story,” with the intention of uncovering the facts about extraterrestrial abductions and inspiring others to share their experiences.

During a routine X-ray of his leg in 2012, a foreign object was discovered in his leg above the knee. The X-ray revealed an artificial object, about the size of a fingernail, with two wires attached, which the radiologist believed resembled an “RFID compute device.” The radiologist also noticed a collection of foreign objects in his’s calf muscle and was surprised that there was no corresponding scar in the skin. This discovery led Lovelace to recall a traumatic event from 1977 that they had never intended to disclose to anyone.

The most astonishing aspect of this discovery was that there were no signs of incision or surgery on Lovelace’s leg, and the radiologist who detected the object claimed that an absent scar would mean Lovelace was born with this thing in his leg.

On his personal blog, Lovelace writes:

“September of 2017, I was a guest speaker at a UFO event in Houston. It was my first public appearance and opportunity to speak candidly on the topic of alien abduction. This was the time when I decided to write a book. It’s an important topic. We deserve to be informed and not mislead.

I fear we’ve been desensitized about the UFO phenomena by the media especially the motion picture industry. Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released in November 1977. my experience happened in June that same year. Now, YouTube provides a flood of valid information mixed with confabulation and deception. Know the truth. Alien’s really exist and some live and walk among us without so much as a second look. There are probably many species from different worlds or different dimensions here on Earth today.

Some aliens may actually be our ‘benign space brothers’ as some have claimed. Here to join hands and walk mankind into a new era of peace and higher consciousness. Maybe so, but not the ones we met. The beings we met were monsters. They kidnap people and subject them to terror and brutality in pursuit of their agenda. They are 100% purpose-driven and void of empathy for human or animal suffering. We are their lab rats. Once you’re tagged as their specimen you’re tagged for a lifetime. Like a wild animal on the Serengeti Plane.”

Five years ago, Terry Lovelace published a book that caused significant issues, leading to a year-long harassment incident over his home outside Dallas. Lovelace reports that following the book’s publicity, military aircraft, including two and four-seaters, as well as Airbus 350s with no registered “N” numbers, flew over his house. These aircraft, which were drab-olive in color, were spotted making flyovers at least twice a week, often every day. Lovelace captured many photos of the incidents, including one that appears to show a UFO in the same frame as one of the intruding aircraft.

After publishing a book about his experience, Lovelace received a call from Tom DeLonge, founder of To The Stars Academy, along with General Neil McCasland and Lue Elizondo, who were interested in the X-rays of Lovelace’s leg, which had been injured during the encounter.

Bill Cox writes:

“I can attest to the fact that TTSA was interested in speaking with Terry regarding possible biological effects that he may have suffered,” states former AATIP manager Elizondo in an email. “Biological effects (are) a potential serious aspect of what we studied in AATIP and we now know that certain elements with the U.S. Government are equally concerned as we were. If Terry is suffering any medical consequences as a result of an alleged encounter with a UAP while serving in the military, then he deserves medical care.

“It is my experience that helicopters of unknown utility have been reported by certain individuals. It is not yet known if this is some sort of intentional harassment or simply a matter of being near a congested flight corridor. Obviously, flying a helicopter is expensive and logistically intense if this were some sort of campaign to intimidate individuals on a regular basis. We would need to do additional research to better determine the nature of these incidents,” he added, “before making any sort of proclamation.

“Terry is a good person who is also credible. I believe Terry and others are convinced their experiences are legitimate.”

Could an alien mothership be hovering around the solar system, sending out tiny probes to explore planets? According to a Harvard scientist and a Pentagon official, it's possible.

In a draft paper, the pair said it is feasible an extraterrestrial spaceship could be in our galactic neighborhood, exploring the region by the means of "dandelion seeds" — small spacecraft that can gather and send back information, similar to the way humans send out spacecraft to explore planets.

Avi Loeb, an astronomer at Harvard University, and Sean M. Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) — established in July 2022 by the Department of Defense (DoD) to detect and study "objects of interest" — released the draft, Physical Constraints on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, on March 7. It is not an official Pentagon document but was carried out in partnership with the DoD. It has not been peer-reviewed.

Loeb is known for his research into 'Oumuamua — an interstellar visitor from beyond the solar system. Astronomers first detected the cigar-shaped object in 2017 and originally thought it was a comet. However, its elongated shape, its lack of coma (the cloud of gases that envelope a comet), and the fact that it was accelerating away from the sun raised questions about the comet theory. Loeb suggested instead that 'Oumuamua was an alien spaceship. 

Six months before 'Oumuamua's close approach to Earth, a small interstellar meteor measuring around 3 feet (1 meter) wide smashed into Earth. This meteor, IM2, was not related to 'Oumuamua, but it got Loeb thinking. 

• Alien mothership lurking in our solar system could be watching us …

That coincidence inspired him "to consider the possibility that an artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions," Loeb told Live Science in an email. "These 'dandelion seeds'... could be separated from the parent craft by the tidal gravitational force of the sun or by a maneuvering capability."

In the draft paper, Loeb and Kirkpatrick looked at Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs, the government's preferred term for UFOs) confined by known physics. The authors suggest the dandelion seed probes could reach Earth for exploration without being detected by astronomers as they would likely be too small to reflect enough sunlight for survey telescopes to detect.

"Equipped with a large surface-to-mass ratio of a parachute, technological 'dandelion seeds' could slow down in the Earth's atmosphere to avoid burnup and then pursue their objectives wherever they land," they wrote.

Aliens would likely want to explore rocky planets with an atmosphere in the solar system, the authors propose. From a distance, Venus, Earth and Mars would all look appealing, with Earth being of greatest interest once aliens found signatures of liquid water. The alien civilization that created the probes would not need to be on the mothership. It would be unlikely that it could even communicate with the probes. 

The alien civilization may not even exist anymore. Most stars in the solar system formed billions of years before the sun. A habitable planet with intelligent life could have been sending out probes long before Earth formed. Searching for "resembles checking our mailbox for any packages that may have accumulated over time there, even if the senders are not alive anymore," Loeb said.

Since first suggesting 'Oumuamua was an alien spaceship, Loeb has faced criticism from the scientific community. One Perspective article published in Nature Astronomy in 2019 said the idea ‘Oumuamua was sent to Earth on purpose was "provocative" and "baseless."

In 2021, a letter published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics dismissed the idea on logistical impracticalities of interstellar travel: "Given the likely cosmological timescales required to traverse between stars, we conclude that it is unlikely that 'Oumuamua has been sent by an extraterrestrial civilisation and more likely that it is just an unusually shaped rock, which has happened to wander into the solar system."

Another study, published on March 22, 2023, explains 'Oumuamua's strange movements as the likely result of hydrogen off-gassing — again refuting the alien spacecraft theory. 

Still, the Pentagon has taken a renewed interest in studying unidentified objects over U.S. airspace in the previous year. Since the AARO's founding last summer, the office has opened more than 360 new investigations into alleged UAP encounters reported by U.S. military personnel. About half of these have been explained as "balloons or balloon-like entities," while the other half lack sufficient data to conclusively resolve.

I had to ask Elon Musk a question about Starlink, it seems important, UFO Sighting News.

China threatened to destroy Starlink: 

• https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18793/china-threatens-starlink

Now I noticed we had three videos come in on March 17th about the same objects in the sky. The objects were too slow to be meteors, too fast to be planes and were on fire from entering the atmosphere. All the objects were lined up one by one almost evenly spaced, all the same size. That led me to think it may be Starlink satellites. You see, Musk recently said on Twitter that some Starlink satellites will be destroyed since a software update didn't work on some. But then a few days later Musk said the China threatened to attack Starlink if he threatened China or challenged their authority. Thus I put 2 and 2 together and it came out that China may have destroyed those Starlink satellites, and it wasn't a software glitch after all. It was China hacking some satellites crashing them to earth to teach Musk a lesson of Chinas power. And now, Musk said he will go to China to talk to Premier Li Qiang in person. The videos speak for themselves, Musks conversation fills in the missing pieces of the puzzle well.

Object Follows Power-lines, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 7-7-2022, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: 7-7-2022
Location of sighting: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Guys check this out! This dark craft was recorded moving fast and following the power lines as if it were tapping into the data streams going down it from the web, from the phones and more. Such UFO reports have been reported a lot in the past with photos and this looks very similar to a past one. It also seemed it could be a balloon, but I'm confident its not, because it has no hanging string, words, tied end, or anything to indicates it is. I believe this is a real UFO tapping into our power lines to test them or for possible data retrieval.

Silver Sphere UFO Caught on Camera Making 90-Degree Turn in Edmonton

On July 7, 2022, a strange and fascinating UFO sighting took place in Edmonton, AB, Canada. The witness, who was performing his last yard check before securing the gate at work in an industrial complex, reported seeing a silverish grey sphere that looked like something out of the Jetsons cartoon.

The witness watched the UFO for around ten seconds as it flew smoothly over the roofs of the short buildings, not too fast and not too slow. Birds were flying in the area as well. The witness began recording a cell video for about 30 seconds before he stopped filming as nothing was happening.

But as soon as he stopped filming, the UFO made an abrupt and unexpected turn. It turned left and up and away from the witness at an exact 90 degree angle perpendicular to his position. The UFO flew straight into the clouds and disappeared from sight.

• High Speed UFO makes 90 degrees turn without slowing down …

The witness’s video footage, which has been posted online, shows the silver ball moving horizontally before making the sudden turn and heading up towards the clouds. The video is sure to spark debate and discussion among UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike.
