    VIDEO: Alien Intrigue in Ohio? The Unexplained Green Lights of Middletown

    Rotating UFO

    Beneath the indigo sky of Middletown, Ohio, an extraordinary event unfolded on a late Wednesday night. The tranquil city found itself entwined in the global narrative of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings. A display of mystifying green lights put the town on the radar of UFO enthusiasts and skeptics alike.

    The unexpected phenomena transpired around 10:30 p.m. on June 22, 2023, when Middletown residents reported seeing strange, rotating green lights maneuvering in the night sky. Eyewitness accounts depict the UFO as moving in a clockwise motion, hovering briefly, before jetting across the sky and disappearing into the ether.

    Residents, including Bryce Garrick and Caden Little, who had the presence of mind to record the incident, were left in awe. The uncertainty surrounding the occurrence has fueled further speculation, with many pondering the possibility of extraterrestrial activity. According to Bryan Simpson, president of the Cincinnati Astronomical Society, the extraordinary speed at which the lights sped off defies the behavior of known aircraft or drones. Yet, Simpson also reminds us to approach such incidents with a healthy dose of skepticism, citing the prevalence of fabricated videos.

    What makes this instance in Middletown more intriguing is the global context in which it occurs. The Middletown sighting came on the heels of a public meeting held by a NASA panel to examine hundreds of similar reports. These UFO sightings have remained largely unexplained, despite exhaustive efforts to identify their origins and characteristics. The subjects of these reports were often small or round objects, usually appearing silver, translucent, or white. Most sightings reported objects flying at heights of about 10,000 to 30,000 feet, and their speed varied from being stationary to Mach 2.

    While this enigma is not exclusive to Middletown or the United States, it nonetheless adds a compelling layer to the growing global dossier of UFO sightings. These sightings, combined with NASA’s attempts to remove stigma around reporting such incidents, provide a fertile ground for serious investigation and public discourse on the existence of extraterrestrial entities.

    In conclusion, the green lights of Middletown present yet another fascinating chapter in the annals of UFO sightings. Whether a terrestrial phenomenon or a genuine extraterrestrial visitation, it’s certain to keep enthusiasts, researchers, and skeptics on their toes. As the intrigue continues to mount, one thing remains clear: our curiosity about the unknown, our place in the universe, and the question of “are we alone?” is far from being satisfied.

    Bill Uhouse: The Area 51 Engineer’s Reverse-Engineering Flying Saucer From a 1953 UFO Crash

    Bill Uhouse

    In the vast universe we inhabit, the question of whether we are alone has always been a subject of intrigue. For centuries, we’ve speculated about alien life, dissected tales of encounters, and pondered over unidentified flying objects. But what if those stories had a hint of truth? Imagine engineers not only glimpsing these elusive flying discs, but also reverse-engineering and constructing them, bringing what was once the realm of science fiction into reality.

    Drawing on a fascinating conversation with a purported test pilot and mechanical designer, this article offers a deep dive into the intriguing, albeit controversial, world of back-engineering extraterrestrial technology.

    At the heart of this discourse lies a man whose journey started as a government test pilot. His journey took an unexpected turn when he was asked to work on aircraft simulators, a move he believed would be beneficial for his career. Along with other engineers, he was assigned to different companies in the U.S., where they worked on simulators for various cutting-edge aircraft, such as the F-89, F-94, and F-102. This work was an essential precursor to his entry into a realm beyond conventional aeronautics.

    He and his colleagues were then presented with a unique challenge: to join metal together without the use of traditional fasteners such as glue or nuts, with the objective of creating lighter aircraft. After dedicating several years to perfecting this process, the team was transferred to a special project in New Mexico.

    It was there that the reality of their work unveiled itself. Their focus shifted from traditional aircraft simulators to those of a more enigmatic nature – “flying discs.” The task was not merely to understand these unique aircraft, but to translate alien avionics into our scientific language and technology. Unlike conventional aircraft, these discs flew at three specific positions – 65 degrees, flat horizontal, and occasionally, vertical. This presented a unique challenge for the engineering team, who had to develop avionics systems to handle such unconventional flight characteristics.

    The design of these discs was not derived from human creativity but was apparently reverse-engineered from craft of extraterrestrial origin. The team worked alongside a specific type of alien known as “the Grays,” who provided scientific data necessary for the reverse engineering process. This marked a unique confluence of human and alien engineering, a collaboration that might seem implausible yet forms the bedrock of these accounts.

    The disc that our source observed resembled those depicted in the Bob Lazar posters – a popular reference for UFO enthusiasts. The description paints a picture of a compact, smooth-surfaced saucer-like object with a heavy aura of secrecy shrouding it. The impression it left on the engineer was profound, eliciting a sense of awe and excitement that only a designer could truly comprehend.

    But the intrigue did not stop at the flying discs. The engineers were introduced to the Grays several times to acclimate themselves to their presence. Comparing it to a cultural immersion experience, he likened it to visiting Africa and seeing tribes for the first time. The Grays’ presence, while initially startling, eventually became an accepted part of the project’s landscape.

    The events narrated by our source are not without controversy, and many would find them hard to accept. The existence of extraterrestrial life is still a contentious topic, and accounts of reverse-engineering alien technology even more so. However, these tales ignite our imaginations, pushing the boundaries of what we deem possible. They invite us to question our understanding of technology and our place in the cosmos, compelling us to keep our minds open to possibilities beyond our current comprehension.

    As we stand on the threshold of the unknown, one can’t help but wonder if there is indeed truth behind these extraordinary tales. Could we really have come into contact with extraterrestrial beings? Are there tangible technological advancements nestled within secretive government facilities, awaiting the right moment to revolutionize our understanding of flight and propulsion? Or are these stories merely the product of our collective fascination with the unknown, a testament to our insatiable curiosity and hunger for exploration?

    In these accounts, we find a narrative that extends beyond the bounds of everyday reality, venturing into the uncharted realms of possibility. The narrative of reverse-engineering alien technology is not merely a science fiction trope, but a prospect that could redefine our scientific understanding, challenge our perceptions of reality, and reshape the future of technology. It’s a narrative that begs us to consider the potential for tremendous leaps forward in our technological capabilities, changes that could alter the trajectory of human civilization as we know it.

    Moreover, the descriptions of ‘the Grays’ provide a tantalizing glimpse into the potential nature of alien life. The reports of these beings not as conquerors or destroyers, but as collaborators, paints a refreshingly cooperative picture of interstellar relations. It invites speculation on the nature of life beyond our planet, fostering a sense of curiosity and fostering dialogue about the possibilities of inter-species communication and collaboration.

    While we tread with caution and skepticism, parsing truth from speculation, these accounts serve as a reminder of the human capacity for exploration and discovery. They remind us that, as a species, we are driven by a relentless quest for knowledge, an insatiable curiosity that propels us into the vast unknown.

    In a world often limited by what we can see and touch, these tales allow our minds to venture beyond the confines of our everyday existence, challenging us to ponder the profound and yet unanswered question: Are we alone in the universe?

    Whether fact or fiction, these narratives about encounters with extraterrestrial life and technology are compelling, to say the least. They open doors to the possibility of a universe teeming with life and technology beyond our wildest dreams, a universe where human ingenuity meets extraterrestrial innovation, promising an extraordinary future.

    As we explore these fascinating accounts, we are invited to dream, to speculate, and to imagine a world where the line between science fiction and reality is blurred. It’s an invitation that is as thrilling as it is disconcerting, compelling us to confront our fears and doubts as we journey into the uncharted territories of the cosmos.

    Perhaps one day, these accounts of flying discs and alien encounters will no longer be subjects of debate, but established realities, proof of a universe more diverse and intriguing than we ever dared to imagine. Until then, these stories remain a testament to the power of curiosity and the irresistible allure of the unknown. They keep us questioning, exploring, and dreaming of a universe where we are not alone, but part of an interconnected cosmic family.

    The Milky Way’s Supermassive Black Hole had a Burst of Activity 200 Years Ago. We Just Saw the Echo.

    We in the Milky Way Galaxy are pretty lucky to have a fairly quiet central supermassive black hole in Sgr A*. It’s not loud and bright like an active galactic nucleus. It appears to be active for brief periods before going to sleep. Two hundred years ago, it “woke up” for about a year and a half and had a bite to eat.

    How do astronomers know this happened? They recently looked at specific molecular clouds in the neighborhood of the supermassive black hole. Those clouds seem brighter than usual. That’s because they’re glowing from X-rays emitted when Sgr A* had a brief period of activity at the beginning of the 19th century.

    Most molecular clouds are dark and cold, so when one lights up like these are doing, it grabs astronomers’ attention. “One of the scenarios to explain why these giant molecular clouds are shining is that they are, in fact, echoing a long-gone flash of X-ray light, indicating that our supermassive black hole was not that quiescent some centuries ago,” said Frédéric Marin, an astronomer at the Astronomical Observatory of Strasbourg in France and lead author of a new study published in Nature.

    Interestingly, astronomers think Sgr A* black hole accretion disk was also actively snacking about 150 years earlier for a time before it quieted down again. They tracked another nearby cloud bathed in gamma rays from that event. That hints at periods of wakefulness and quiescence that they want to explain.

    Tracking the Glow of a Supermassive Black Hole Snack

    Marin and a team of colleagues studied the X-ray-brightened clouds from Sgr A*’s most recent snack using NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). It measures the polarization of X-rays (or the average direction and intensity of the electric field of light waves). The polarization angle acts very much like a compass, pointing toward the source of the illumination. It turns out that Sgr A* is right on the path, making it the source of the emissions.

    The team combined their data with images from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and compared them to data from the XMM-Newton mission. That helped them really pinpoint the origin of the emissions brightening the nearby clouds. Basically, when the black hole accretion disk gobbled up nearby material, there resulting X-ray emissions were more than a million times greater than usual. That made it as luminous as an active galactic nucleus in a Seyfert galaxy.

    What Happens When Our Supermassive Black Hole Feasts

    The Sgr A* black hole and its accretion disk lie embedded at the center of our galaxy. It lives in a busy place. Stars circle the black hole in various orbits. Occasionally a cloud of gas and dust flits by. Just as occasionally, Sgr A*’s intense gravitational pull sweeps up some of that material into its accretion disk. The material gets heated and eventually, that energizes it enough to give off X-ray emissions.

    This snacking happens fairly often, but usually, the flares are very short-lived—some on the order of only minutes. Those may take place in very small regions of the accretion disk. But some, like the one 200 years ago, are longer and brighter. For that event, the cloud of material that got sucked into the accretion disk must have been fairly large to trigger the brilliant, long-term blast of X-rays.

    Learning More About Sgr A*

    Now that Marin and the team have pinpointed the source of those emissions, they want to know more about the large flare that emitted them. For example, when exactly did it occur? How intense was it at its peak? How long did it actually last? Follow-up observations should give some answers and also provide astronomers a three-dimensional view of the glowing clouds.

    One of the biggest unanswered questions about such flares is: what causes them? Obviously, the infall of material plays a role. But, what else is going on with Sgr A* that would cause it to “wake up” and start eating its neighbors? “IXPE is playing a key role in helping us better understand the timescale on which the black hole at the center of our galaxy is changing,” said Steven Ehlert, Steven Ehlert, IXPE project scientist at NASA. “We know change can happen to active galaxies and supermassive black holes on a human timescale. We’re learning more about this one’s behavior over time, its history of outbursts, and we’re eager to observe it further to determine which changes are typical and which are unique.”

    Sonifying Sgr A*’s X-ray Emissions

    Obviously, Sgr A* went back to sleep after its year-and-a-half-long cloud snack at the beginning of the 19th century. But, the echoes of its “burp” toward the nearby molecular clouds provided astronomers with a unique opportunity. They combined images of Sagittarius A* from NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer and Chandra X-ray Observatory and adapted them to sound. Essentially, they took the digital data from all the observations and translated it into musical notes and sounds. The original data would be too low for humans to hear, so the sounds were transposed into a region of sound that we can hear.

    In this video, we see an arched line ripple across the image. As it passes over the orange-tinted IXPE data, sounds like digital winds are triggered, particularly where those orange areas are brightest. When the traveling line passes the blue-tinted Chandra data, the resulting notes resemble steel drums.

    Aside from this sonification and the X-ray echo astronomers detected from Sgr A‘s outburst, there was no effect felt on Earth. That’s because Sgr A* lies some 26,000 light-years away from us. At that distance, we get a nice view of the long-ago action without any of the danger associated with a huge burst of X-rays.

    Parker Solar Probe Makes a Surprising Discovery About the Source of the Geminid Meteor Shower

    If you’ve ever seen a meteor shower, you know it can be an amazing sight. You watch the skies as every few moments there’s a streak of light. Sometimes bright and in your field of vision. Sometimes starting just out of the corner of your eye. Although a meteor can occur at any time, they tend to appear at certain times of the year, such as the Perseids of August, or the Orionids of October.

    Meteor showers are named by the constellation they appear to emanate from. It’s consistent from year to year, as is the time of year. This is because meteor showers occur when Earth passes through a debris trail of a comet. The Orionids, for example, occur when we pass through the trail of Halley’s Comet. When the dust-like particles cast off from the comet strike our atmosphere, they glow as they burn up. The cometary origins of meteors have been known since the late 1800s, and while most meteor showers are caused by comets, not all of them are.

    The Geminids are the best example of this exception. They occur in December and can be quite intense. They seem to be growing more intense over the years as Earth’s orbit shifts to pass more strongly through the debris trail. For a while, the origin of the Geminids was a bit of a mystery, since they had no corresponding comet. But then in 1983, an asteroid called 3200 Phaethon was discovered, with an orbit directly in line with the Geminid debris trail.

    Phaeton is an odd asteroid, just 6 kilometers across. It’s not icy, but it has been seen with a dusty tail, leading some to refer to it as a dusty comet. The reason it produces a trail is because of its dusty surface composition and the fact that Phaeton’s orbit takes it within 0.14 AU of the Sun, which is less than half the orbital distance of Mercury. When Phaeton makes its closest approach to the Sun, its surface is baked like a dry lake bed, causing a trail of dust.

    Astronomers have assumed that the Geminid dust trail formed gradually as dust accumulated with each of Phaeton’s orbits, following the cometary process. But a new study finds this isn’t the case. Instead the team found the Geminids appeared rapidly.

    They used data from the Parker Solar Probe, which measured the size and composition of Geminid dust particles as well as their relative speed and direction. The team then compared the observed data with three models: a “basic” model where particles were simply set along the orbital path, a cometary model which trickled particles into the debris path gradually, and a violent origin model, which assumed particles were released in a single burst.

    Of the three models, the violent burst approach was the best fit to observations. This implies that the origin of the Geminids was not slow and steady, but rather due to an impact event where Phaeton was struck by a smaller asteroid. This model addresses one of the problems with the “dusty comet” model, which some argued isn’t sufficient to explain the strength of the Geminids. But there are still aspects this study doesn’t explain. The data and model aren’t precise enough to pin down a particular impact origin, only that an impact is the likely cause.

    With all their beauty, the Geminids still hold a few mysteries.

    Bill Cooper’s Unveiled Theory: A Staged Alien Invasion and The New World Order

    Bill Cooper

    Are you intrigued by unorthodox theories, covert operations, and notions of shadowy forces shaping the world as we know it? If you are, the conspiracy theories of the late Milton William “Bill” Cooper may send chills down your spine. Cooper was a prominent figure in the world of conspiracy theories, known for his controversial claims about secret governmental plots, hidden extraterrestrial interactions, and the supposed New World Order (NWO).

    So who was Bill Cooper? Born on May 6, 1943, Milton William “Bill” Cooper was a former U.S. Naval Intelligence Briefing Team member and later turned into an author and radio broadcaster. He is most famous for his book “Behold a Pale Horse” (Amazon bestseller – link) published in 1991, which has become a sort of ‘bible’ in the conspiracy community. This book encompasses a vast array of Cooper’s conspiracy theories involving secret societies, the U.S. government, and extraterrestrial life.

    Cooper’s theories gained traction, and his radio show, The Hour of the Time, enjoyed a loyal following. His claims were quite extraordinary and included everything from AIDS being a population control scheme to John F. Kennedy’s assassination being orchestrated by a secret society.

    However, one of his most far-out theories revolves around the concept of a staged alien invasion and the creation of a New World Order.

    According to Cooper, the U.S. government has been planning since 1917 to fabricate an extraterrestrial threat to unite all nations under a single banner. The objective? To establish a one-world totalitarian socialist government, a new world order. This idea was highlighted in a document he claimed to have found in 1972 titled “Operation Majority.”

    He postulated that this conspiracy had been in the works for a long time, with various elements like environmental pollution and disarmament being integral parts of the grand plan. He argued that these conditions were intentionally orchestrated to unify the globe against a common, invented enemy. This enemy, as he stressed, would be a technologically superior extraterrestrial race.

    The role of popular culture and mass media, according to Cooper, was crucial in making this global conspiracy a reality. He stated that the steady flow of movies and media content about flying saucers and alien invasions since the 1950s was all part of a scheme to convince the world’s population of an impending alien threat.

    Cooper even claimed that President Ronald Reagan was in on the plot. Reagan had made six speeches hinting at an external threat from outer space, which Cooper saw as a strategy to psychologically prepare the public for a staged alien invasion.

    The objective, Cooper believed, was to make the Earth seem insignificant and threatened by a superior alien force. This would, in theory, lead to the dissolution of nations and existing religions and facilitate the formation of a world government.

    The theories of Bill Cooper are undoubtedly provocative and continue to stir heated debates in the realm of conspiracy theories. Whether one regards them as groundbreaking revelations or dismisses them as the product of an overactive imagination, they serve as a reminder that the world we live in can sometimes be much stranger than fiction.

    (NASA/T. Strohmayer (GSFC)/D. Berry (Chandra X-Ray Observatory)).

    NEWLY REVEALED SPEED OF FASTEST STARS EVER OBSERVED IN THE MILKY WAY STUNS ASTRONOMERS

    An international team of astronomers reports they have succeeded in detecting the fastest stars ever observed within the Milky Way galaxy.

    The team, led by Kareem El-Badry, an astrophysicist at the Institute for Theory and Computation at the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, reports the detection of a white dwarf, J0927, which they observed moving through space at an incredible 5.112 million miles per hour.

    The discovery was reported in a paper published on the preprint arXiv website and is currently awaiting peer review.

    In their paper, El-Badry, who specializes in the study of binary stars in the Milky Way, and his co-authors describe their research involving stellar bodies known as hypervelocity white dwarfs, which they characterize as “runaways” from Type Ia supernovae.

    When a star collapses, the stellar body that remains is called a white dwarf, comprising a very small, dense star roughly the size of a planet. A Type Ia supernova occurs when a pair of stars–including a white dwarf–begin to orbit one another. As the white dwarf pulls the hydrogen away from its sister star, it produces the “runaway” effect that eventually results in a massive thermonuclear explosion.

    According to their paper, the team reports that by searching for potential Type Ia supernovae candidates from Gaia data, there were six new runaway stars detected, including four that El-Badry and the team believe “are most likely the surviving donors from double-degenerate binaries in which the other [white dwarf] exploded.”

    Four of the stars in the new collection are both hotter and are also much smaller than other known Type 1a supernovae, also known as “D6 stars.” Three of the stars possess primarily carbon atmospheres, while the other’s atmosphere is comprised mostly of helium.

    “A significant population of fainter low-mass runaways may still await discovery,” El-Badry and his co-authors report, adding that the birth rate of these stars remains in question since astronomers remain uncertain about the lifetimes of D6 stars, as well as the amount of light they produce.

    However, the team estimates that the birth rate of D6 stars is probably consistent with models where Type Ia supernovae produce hypervelocity runaway white dwarf stars, “but the observed population is dominated by the most massive and brightest runaways.”

    Going forward, additional models that allow astronomers to characterize the thermal evolution of D6 stars will be required, the team says, to estimate the birth rates of these stars more accurately.

    The new paper by El-Badry and his co-authors can be read online in its entirety and is currently pending peer review.

    Ex-NASA Astronaut: ‘We have Contact With Alien Cultures & Their Appearance Is Bizarre’

    On July 28, 2011, former astronaut and scientist Brian O’Leary passed away shortly after making a big statement. When the United States space agency NASA selected its sixth group of astronauts in August 1967, he was selected to be a member of that group. O’Leary had been a member of Princeton University’s physics faculty for many years. According to him, there is substantial evidence indicating that Earth is being visited by extraterrestrial beings. He claimed that advanced civilizations arrived on earth a very long time ago and that these civilizations employ technology that are founded on consciousness.

    “There is much evidence that we have been contacted by aliens, and that these civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time, their appearance may be bizarre from any traditional Western materialistic point of view. These visitors use consciousness-influencing technologies – the toroid and use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, which appear to be the common denominator of the UFO phenomenon,”— Dr. Brian O’Leary on Thrive Movement

    Dr. Brian O’Leary was born on January 27, 1940. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with intestinal cancer and died of a heart attack. In August 1967, he was one of the astronauts chosen by NASA to participate in the sixth group of astronauts. The people that made up this team were commonly referred to as the scientist-astronauts. Dr. O’Leary attended Williams College and earned a bachelor of arts degree in physics in 1961. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley and earned a doctor of philosophy degree in astronomy in 1967.

    He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and secretary of the Planetology Section of the American Geophysical Union. In addition, he led the Asteroidal Resources Group for the NASA Ames Summer Study on Space Settlements. He was a founding board member of the International Association for New Science and the New Energy Movement’s first president. He was a fellow at the World Innovation Foundation and a Princeton University physics professor.

    After O’Leary quit NASA, Carl Sagan invited him to lecture at Cornell University in 1968. He stayed there as an astronomy research associate from 1968 to 1969 and as an assistant professor from 1969 to 1971. He looked into lunar mascons while he was at Cornell. During the 1970–1971 academic year, O’Leary worked as a visiting researcher at the California Institute of Technology. He was the deputy team leader of the Mariner 10 Venus-Mercury TV Science Team. NASA recognized the team’s efforts by presenting them with a group accomplishment award.

    Following his departure, O’Leary began to explore some of Carl’s work. He claimed that the iconic “Face” at Cydonia on Mars, which was photographed by Viking in 1975 and resembled a human face, was altered by Sagan before being released to the public: “It was very, very disappointing to me, because not only was Carl wrong, he also fudged data. He published a picture of the ‘Face’ in Parade Magazine, a popular article, saying that the ‘Face’ was just a natural formation, but he doctored the picture to make it not look like a face.”

    In May 1990, O’Leary released a paper titled “Analysis of Images of the Face on Mars and Possible Intelligent Origin,” which only further demonstrated his skepticism. It was published in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Vol.43 No.5. O’Leary also went on the record and stated:

    “I began to realize, just directly from the scientific point of view, not only hearsay, that this man was colluding with NASA, that there might be more to this than before… Carl was on a committee with a number of notable people. There was a report issued by the Brookings Institution in 1961 — and that’s about when I knew Carl, during those years; the ’60s mostly was when I worked closely with him — that he and this other group said: Well, if any ETs ever showed up on the Earth, it has to be covered up. That’s the only way we’re going to be able to manage this, because if we can’t, then it would be too much of a culture shock.”

    On the 18th of September, 1994, Dr. O’Leary said during the International Forum on New Science in Fort Collins in Colorado: “A secret group within the U.S. government keeps the masses for nearly 50 years away at about UFOs and extraterrestrial contact. We have contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. This information is probably obscured by an elite group within the CIA, NSA and DIA. This small group knows well the secrets to keep. Watergate and the Iran-Contra affair are child compared to this cosmic Watergate about UFOs, aliens, mind control, genetic engineering, free energy and antigravity.”

    O’Leary suggested not only the existence of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth, but also the existence of a face on Mars. He also penned the introduction to Steven Greer’s book Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge. The book is about repressed alien technologies such as free energy, anti-gravity, and extraterrestrial presence on Earth.

    • “There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source) – Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee
    • “Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Et’s, etc…They are visiting Earth now; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking. – Theodor C.

    • “Aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government. Decades ago, visitors from other plants warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after…Because I know that they are. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years.” – Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defense Minister (source)
    • My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving, and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.” – Richard Wagamese, Ojibway Author (source)

    THEORETICAL BREAKTHROUGH COULD FINALLY SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF INVISIBLE DARK MATTER

    A team of Canadian researchers says that the lack of clumpiness in the structure of the universe could help to shed new light on the composition of dark matter.

    A hypothetical form of matter believed to represent as much as 85% of the known universe, dark matter consists of particles that do not produce, reflect, or absorb light, making it undetectable by conventional methods astronomers use to observe electromagnetic radiation.

    Although it is essentially invisible, the existence of dark matter can be inferred from the effect it has on objects that can be seen throughout the universe. There are several theories about what forms this hypothetical substance might take, which include “cold dark matter” comprised of weakly interacting particles and “hot” forms resulting from the movement of high-energy particles whose origins go all the way back to the beginning of the universe.

    However, according to new research led by Keir Rogers with the University of Toronto’s Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, dark matter may really consist of a variety of ultra-light particles known as axions, based on the lack of clumpiness in the universe.

    The team believes this insight could ultimately reveal the longstanding mystery of invisible dark matter, along with providing new insights into what is known by cosmologists as the cosmic web, by establishing new links between these phenomena.

    In the past, astronomers have noted how the distribution of matter throughout the universe is very even—perhaps surprisingly so—even at large scales. This goes against our expectations about how the matter should be distributed and could suggest that dark matter is composed of axions, a hypothetical form of very light, electrically neutral particles.

    Rogers says that future experiments which may confirm this could be “one of the most significant discoveries of this century,” adding that his team’s research not only suggests the role axions may play in the mysterious nature of dark matter but also points to “an explanation for why the universe is less clumpy than we thought.”

    Rogers adds that the apparent lack of clumpiness is “an observation that has become increasingly clear over the last decade or so and currently leaves our theory of the universe uncertain.”

    Because of their wave-like behavior at wavelengths that can be even larger than a galaxy, axions are often characterized as “fuzzy,” a feature that has a direct influence on the formation of dark matter, as well as its distribution. This would not make sense in a universe without axions, Rogers and the team says, and is suggestive of the presence of axions in the dark matter equation.

    The new research presents challenges to past cold dark matter theories involving weakly interacting subatomic particles, or WIMPs.

    “In science, it’s when ideas break down that new discoveries are made,” Rogers said in a statement, “and age-old problems are solved.”

    Analyzing Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) emanating from the earliest moments of the universe and collected by a series of large-scale surveys conducted in 2018, the CMB data was compared with data on galaxy clustering obtained from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which provides information on the positions of close to one million galaxies. The galactic distribution is a corollary for the influence of gravitational forces on dark matter throughout the universe.

    Using this data to measure variances in the amount and distribution of matter in the universe, Rogers and his team were first able to confirm the lack of clumpiness, then apply computer simulations that allowed them to predict the manifestation of the earliest “relic light” emanating from the Big Bang, as well as the distribution of galaxies within the universe based on where they would be positioned in a universe with long dark matter waves.

    Rogers and the team found that the simulations were a good match for the CMB data they analyzed and appear to lend further weight to the notion that axions are indeed a component behind the lack of clumpiness observed throughout the universe. In the future, additional large-scale surveys could help to provide data that will allow researchers like Rogers and his team to conduct even more precise measurements.

    “We have the tools now that could enable us to finally understand something experimentally about the century-old mystery of dark matter,” Rogers said in a statement, adding that such insights may occur within the next two decades.

    Insights which, Rogers hopes, “could give us hints to answers about even bigger theoretical questions.”

    The team’s paper, “Ultra-light axions and the S8 tension: joint constraints from the cosmic microwave background and galaxy clustering,” was written by lead author Keir K. Rogers, and co-authors Mikhail M. Ivanov, Alex Laguë, Oliver H.E. Philcox, Giovanni Cabass, Renée Hlo¸ek, David J.E. Marsh, and Kazuyuki Akitsu, and appeared on June 14, 2023, in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics.

    Strange sounds recorded high in Earth's atmosphere have scientists baffled

    Scientists have detected sounds high in Earth's atmosphere that can't be identified.

    A solar-powered balloon mission launched by researchers from Sandia National Laboratories carried a microphone to a region of Earth's atmosphere found around 31 miles (50 km) above the planet called the stratosphere. This region is relatively calm and free of storms, turbulence and commercial air traffic, meaning microphones in this layer of the atmosphere can eavesdrop on the sounds of our planet, both natural and human-made.

    However, the microphone in this particular study also heard strange sounds that repeat a few times per hour. Their source has yet to be identified. The sounds were recorded in the infrasound range, meaning they were at frequencies of 20 hertz (Hz) and lower, well below the range of the human ear. "There are mysterious infrasound signals that occur a few times per hour on some flights, but the source of these is completely unknown," Daniel Bowman of Sandia National Laboratories said in a statement..

    Related: 

    To gather acoustic data from the stratosphere, Bowman and the team used devices initially designed to monitor volcanoes called microbarometers that are capable of detecting detect low-frequency sounds.

    Along with the expected natural and man-made sounds, the microbarometers detected the mysterious repeating infrasound signals.

    The sensors were carried aloft by balloons that Bowman and fellow researchers built. Featuring diameters between 20 and 23 feet (6 and 7 meters), the balloons were built from common and inexpensive materials. Powered by sunlight, these deceptively simple devices were able to climb to altitudes of around 70,000 feet (13.3 miles) over Earth

    "Our balloons are basically giant plastic bags with some charcoal dust on the inside to make them dark," Bowman said. "We build them using painter's plastic from the hardware store, shipping tape, and charcoal powder from pyrotechnic supply stores. When the sun shines on the dark balloons, the air inside heats up and becomes buoyant."

    Bowman explained that this passive solar power is enough to propel the balloons from the surface of the planet to the stratosphere. After launch, the balloons were tracked using GPS, something that the team had to do because balloons can often fly for hundreds of miles and may land in difficult-to-navigate regions of the planet.

    And, as recent events have shown, scientific balloons can be mistaken for other objects, sometimes causing unintentional alarm.

    In addition to helping further investigate these mysterious stratospheric sounds, solar-powered balloons like these could be used to investigate mysteries much further from Earth. 

    Such vehicles are currently being tested to discover if they could be partnered with a Venus orbiter to observe seismic and volcanic activity through its thick atmosphere. Robotic balloons could drift through the upper atmosphere of "Earth's evil twin," high above its hellishly hot and high-pressure surface investigating its thick atmosphere and clouds of sulfuric acid.

    The team's research containing the detection of these unidentified infrasound sources will be presented by Bowman on Thursday (May 11) at the 184th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America being held in Chicago.

    ‘Roswell Was Real’ Claimed Apollo 14 Astronaut: Elizondo Suggests 2 UFOs Crashed That Day

    Bryce Zabel, a CNN reporter has done a marvelous job in presenting the detailed Roswell incident in his personal blog. He collectively mentioned top witnesses’ statements that assure Roswell disclosure is on a fast track. The legendary incident that happened in 1947 was indeed real, according to moon-walking astronaut Edgar Mitchell. He claimed in his interviews that he had informants that had told him about the inside story of Roswell, but he never disclosed their names.

    “Make no mistake, Roswell happened. I’ve seen secret files which show the government knew about it — but decided not to tell the public,” claimed Edgar Mitchell, Ph.D., Apollo 14 Astronaut.

    In February 1971, after the successful completion of the mission, the Apollo 14 crew returned to Earth. Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell became the fifth and sixth astronauts to walk on the moon’s surface. While Shepard chose to live in the glory, Mitchell became the main troublemaker for many years.

    He publicly accepted the existence of aliens after being on the Moon and stuck to it until his death. He accused the US government of hiding the truth about contact with aliens. Immediately after his return, Mitchell left NASA and immersed himself in studying UFOs, ancient history, and human consciousness.

    Mitchell grew up in the small town of Artesia, a few miles from the very Roswell airbase where the crash allegedly occurred. The astronaut claimed that many of his neighbors, acquaintances, and friends worked at that base, and what he heard from them is enough for him to consider the Roswell incident a real UFO crash. Mitchell did not disclose the names of his informants, referring to the fact that they all signed a non-disclosure agreement and he did not want them to have any problems.

    Read also:

    Michell, who claimed he briefed the highest members of the Pentagon, said the reality is that there was an advanced civilization that could penetrate our air defenses at will and that we could not stop them in any way, shape, or form, immediately doomed the Roswell incident to become one of the greatest coverups in history.

    ET stopped Nuclear War

    According to Mitchell, he once had a confidential conversation with a Navy admiral, who secretly told him that in fact, aliens had established contact with the government back in the early 1940s. They were interested in earthly weapons, primarily the atomic bomb. At the very beginning of the Cold War between the USSR and the USA, aliens often came to Earth because they feared nuclear war and tried to influence the world elites in some way. (Source)

    Growing up in New Mexico gave him a unique insight to the Roswell area, he told the UK’s Mirror in 2015.

    “White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons – and that’s what the extraterrestrials were interested in… They wanted to know about our military capabilities. My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.”

    According to a 2015 story, Apollo 14 astronaut said: “My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.”

    However, he clarified in his interview with Observer that he did not make those statements but at the same time, he somewhat agreed with those words. He said: “I don’t remember speaking to them personally. I don’t know where they got that information. I didn’t make those statements. Somebody has added to my words. Those weren’t my exact words but I don’t necessarily disagree with those statements.”

    However, the 2016 Wikileak emails say Mitchell was worried about space weaponization. Despite the fact that aliens might be violent as shown in various sci-fi, the notable astronaut called them nonviolent in his email. In January 2015, he sent an email to Podesta, asking him to have an urgent meeting to discuss Disclosure and Zero Point Energy (ZPE). He was concerned about the peace in space.

    Mitchell wrote: “My Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield will be there too, to bring us up to date on the Vatican’s awareness of ETI. Another colleague is working on a new Space Treaty, citing involvement with Russia and China. However, with Russia’s extreme interference in Ukraine, I believe we must pursue another route for peace in space and ZPE on Earth.”

    Mitchell emailed Podesta again on September 18, 2015. He wrote: “Because the War in Space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk. Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth. They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space.”

    Why Believe the Roswell Crash?

    Bryce Zabel writes: “That storyline has hundreds of witnesses testifying to roughly the same fact trail. Some were first-hand witnesses to debris and even the recovery of bodies, and several accounts came from death bed confessions. Many more witnesses were family members who learned of the secret their fathers and husbands had kept inside them for decades. There were many dozens who attested to extremely tight security and transportation of material in the aftermath of what crashed at Roswell.”

    Moreover, the hype of Roswell stories has increased. The New York Times started covering this issue in the summer of 2020 and is continuing its investigation into crash wreckage. Besides, the former head of the AATIP Luis Elizondo gave his candid take on the 1947 Roswell crash in New Mexico and more in an interview with the Roswell Daily Record.

    Here are some excerpts courtesy of the Roswell Daily Record:

    Elizondo: “I’ll share with you… some of the observations that were made by some people. Before I was part of AATIP, I had no idea about Roswell, other than that there was sort of some alleged crash at some point and some farmer found debris — but during my time with AATIP, there was some very interesting anecdotal information that suggests there wasn’t just one crash, there may have been two crashes, and that somehow it may have been related to some sort of testing that was being done at the time at White Sands, and that material was recovered.

    And that material that was recovered, samples of that material found their way into the hands of private citizens, some of them, but that the … allegedly the larger sections of debris were all recovered by the U.S. Government.”

    During the interview, Elizondo said that while he headed the AATIP, his job was to concentrate on current UAP incidents, however, he added that he had conversations with so-called “graybeards” at the Pentagon who had been involved with UAPs since Project Blue Book. It was from these individuals that Elizondo learned what probably occurred at Roswell in 1947.

    Elizondo: ”These individuals were convinced that the events in New Mexico were not fiction. In fact that it was a, very much a real event and that some very exotic material was recovered… And then there was a subsequent effort to try to be very dismissive about what occurred in New Mexico. But again, I will share with you that it was, from my understanding, it wasn’t one, it was two crashes, and it may have been related to some sort of nuclear-type testing of technology that we were doing, atomic and/or nuclear technology at Los Alamos at the time.”

    A SUSTAINABLE LUNAR OUTPOST COULD BECOME A REALITY WITH HELP FROM THIS COMPANY

    It has been a dream for many over the centuries to visit the Moon. The space race in the 1960s illustrated just how important that dream was to countries all around the world, but following the successful manned Moon missions of that era, many have wondered if Americans will ever return.

    Now, NASA and other space agencies are working on technology to send people back to the Moon to learn more about its origins, and companies like AI SpaceFactory are even working on the prospect of helping make a continuous human presence on the Moon a reality. In a recent announcement, the company revealed its designs for LINA, a lunar outpost concept that would be developed in collaboration with NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC). 

    BACKGROUND: THE HISTORY OF AI SPACEFACTORY

    AI SpaceFactory may not be a household name as far as the new space race of the 21st century goes, but they are hard at work on the development of future space technology. Their primary goal is to build construction tools for improved space exploration with the use of sustainable materials.

    Founded in 2017, the company mainly focuses on the future of human habitation, and the company has made a name for itself by winning $500,000 from NASA’s 3D Printed Habitat Challenge. The printed habitat was created from recycled materials and was able to withstand the extreme environments that NASA tested on it. Now, the company hopes to use a similar technology to build its lunar outpost. 

    ANALYSIS: PRINTING THE LUNAR OUTPOST

    The LINA lunar outpost project came from NASA’s 2020 Announcement of Collaboration Opportunity (ACO) Selections, of which AI SpaceFactory was a collaborator. Using the collaboration, AI SpaceFactory was able to change the composition of its 3D printed material, which originally was made from Martian soil types to now being created using a more lunar soil-type base. The 3D-printed habitat was tested in a special vacuum chamber at NASA, which simulates the environment on the Moon. Tests revealed that the material can be tweaked to be even more sustainable too, and AI SpaceFactory hopes to use it to print its LINA complex. 

    The complex will be printed by robots on the Moon’s south pole near the Shackleton crater. There, LINA can take advantage of almost constant sunlight for solar power arrays, and nearby frozen water can be harvested easily. The building’s architecture makes it possible to have 2.7-meter-thick walls, withstanding radiation, heat, meteors, and more. As AI SpaceFactory CEO David Malott explained, “Our Mars habitat prototype MARSHA proved that 3D printing with a polymer composite was a strong solution for habitation off-world. Developing LINA and printing in an environment that is void of atmospheric pressures or weather systems advances that technology through a new context, with new and more precise variables.”

    OUTLOOK: LUNAR LIVING 

    The printed model of LINA will reside at one of KSC’s laboratories called the Swamp Works, and will be fitted with other infrastructure created by NASA. Not only does this next-level lunar habitat provide a cost-effective and easy way to construct buildings off-planet, but it also places sustainability as one of its main objectives. Creating these habitats may not only shift the current space-exploration industry, but may also provide a huge boost in terms of space tourism, especially if our aspirations to build lunar outposts ever extend beyond science, and into the hotel industry.

    Methuselah: The oldest star in the universe

    Image

    The oldest star in the universe is HD140283 — or Methuselah as it's commonly known. This Digitized Sky Survey image shows Methuselah star, located 190.1 light-years away. Astronomers refined the star's age to about 14.3 billion years (which is older than the universe), plus or minus 800 million years. Image released March 7, 2013. 

    (Image credit: Digitized Sky Survey (DSS), STScI/AURA, Palomar/Caltech, and UKSTU/AAO)

    In 2000, scientists looked to date what they thought was the oldest star in the universe. They made observations via the European Space Agency's (ESA) Hipparcos satellite and estimated that HD140283 — or Methuselah as it's commonly known — was a staggering 16 billion years old.

    Such a figure was rather baffling. After all, the age of the universe — determined from observations of the cosmic microwave background — is 13.8 billion years old, so how can a star be older than the universe?

    "It was a serious discrepancy," says astronomer Howard Bond of Pennsylvania State University. So with that in mind, Bond and his colleagues set out to discover the truth and test the accuracy of the figure. Their conclusions were just as mind-blowing.

    Astronomers began observing Methuselah — named in reference to a biblical patriarch who is said to have died aged 969, making him the longest-lived of all the figures in the Bible — more than 100 years ago. The curious star is located some 190 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Libra and it rapidly journeys across the sky at 800,000 mph (1.3 million kilometers per hour). 

    FAST FACTS:
    • Methuselah covers the width of the moon in the night sky every 1,500 years.
    • You can't see Methuselah with the naked eye. It can only be seen using a telescope 
    • It contains just 1/250th of the iron content of our sun 

    It was clear that the star was old. The metal-poor subgiant is predominantly made of hydrogen and helium and contains very little iron. Such composition meant the star must have come into being when helium and hydrogen dominated the universe and before iron became commonplace (the heavier elements only appeared when massive stars created them in their cores) 

    But could Methuselah really be more than two billion years older than its environment? Surely that is just not possible. Either the star was older than the universe or the universe was not as "young" as scientists thought it to be. Or maybe the dating was simply all wrong. What was it to be?

    INVESTIGATING THE AGE OF METHUSELAH

     A mystery of this magnitude could not be ignored so Bond and his colleagues attempted to unearth the truth by pouring over 11 sets of observations that had been recorded between 2003 and 2011. 

    These observations had been made by the Fine Guidance Sensors of the Hubble Space Telescope, which noted the positions, distances and energy output of stars. In acquiring parallax, spectroscopy and photometry measurements, the scientists could determine a better sense of age.

    "One of the uncertainties with the age of HD 140283 was the precise distance of the star," Bond said. "It was important to get this right because we can better determine its luminosity and, from that, its age — the brighter the intrinsic luminosity, the younger the star. 

    "We were looking for the parallax effect, which meant we were viewing the star six months apart to look for the shift in its position due to the orbital motion of the Earth, which tells us the distance."

    Bond adds that there were also uncertainties in the theoretical modeling of the stars, such as the exact rates of nuclear reactions in the core and the importance of elements diffusing downwards in the outer layers. So they worked on the idea that leftover helium diffuses deeper into the core, leaving less hydrogen to burn via nuclear fusion. With fuel used faster, the age is lowered.

    "Another factor that was important was, of all things, the amount of oxygen in the star," Bond said. HD 140283 had a higher than predicted oxygen-to-iron ratio and, since oxygen was not abundant in the universe for a few million years, it pointed again to a lower age for the star. 

    As a result of all of this work, Bond and his collaborators estimated HD 140283's age to be 14.46 billion years. It was a significant reduction on the 16 billion previously claimed but it was still more than the age of the universe itself.

    In that sense, it didn't clear up the mystery and, on the face of it, simply ensured Methuselah remained a curiosity. But the scientists posed a residual uncertainty of 800 million years, which Bond said made the star's age compatible with the age of the universe. It was a major breakthrough. 

    Related:

    "Like all measured estimates, it is subject to both random and systematic error," said physicist Robert Matthews of Aston University in Birmingham, UK, who was not involved in the study. "The overlap in the error bars gives some indication of the probability of a clash with cosmological age determinations" 

    "In other words, the best-supported age of the star conflicts with that for the derived age of the universe [as determined by the cosmic microwave background], and the conflict can only be resolved by pushing the error bars to their extreme limits."

    Further refinements saw the age of HD 140283 fall a bit more. A 2014 follow-up study, for instance, updated the star's age to 14.27 billion years. "Again, if one includes all sources of uncertainty — both in the observational measurements and the theoretical modeling — the error is about 700 or 800 million years, so there is no conflict because 13.8 billion years lies within the star's error bar," Bond said.

    What's more, in May 2021, another group of astronomers revised the best estimates for the age and mass of Methuselah and, having modeled how stars change over time, they found its age to be 12 billion years. It still makes HD 140283 extremely old (the sun, by comparison, is only a kid at 4.6 billion years old) but it puts the age of the star well and truly within the age of the universe. Or does it? 

    INVESTIGATING THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE

    On the one hand, Bond says the efforts to date Methuselah is "an amazing scientific achievement which provides very strong evidence for the Big Bang picture of the universe". By showing similarities between the age of the universe and that of this old nearby star, he says the problem with the age of the oldest stars is far less severe than it was in the 1990s when the stellar ages were approaching 18 billion years or, in one case, 20 billion years. "With the uncertainties of the determinations, the ages are now agreeing," Bond said.

    Yet, on the other hand, Matthews believes the problem has not yet been resolved. Astronomers at an international conference of top cosmologists at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, California, in July 2019 were puzzled over studies that suggested different ages for the universe. They were looking at measurements of galaxies that are relatively nearby which suggest the universe is younger by hundreds of millions of years compared to the age determined by the cosmic microwave background.

    Related:

    Far from being 13.8 billion years old, as estimated by the European Planck space telescope's detailed measurements of cosmic radiation in 2013, the universe may be as young as 11.4 billion years. If that is, indeed, the case, then Methuselah is one again older than the universe. The plot, indeed, thickens, but how accurate are these re-estimates proving to be?

    One of those behind the studies to date the universe is Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland.

    The conclusions are based on the idea of an expanding universe, as shown in 1929 by Edwin Hubble. This is fundamental to the Big Bang — the understanding that there was once a state of hot denseness that exploded out, stretching space. It indicates a starting point that should be measurable, but fresh findings are suggesting that the expansion rate is around 10% higher than the one suggested by Planck.

    Indeed, the Planck team determined that the expansion rate was 67.4 km per second per megaparsec, but more recent measurements taken of the expansion rate of the universe point to values of 73 or 74. 

    That means there is a difference between the measurement of how fast the universe is expanding today and the predictions of how fast it should be expanding based on the physics of the early universe, Riess said. It's leading to a reassessment of accepted theories while also showing there is still much to learn about dark matter and dark energy, which are thought to be behind this conundrum.

    Related: 

    A higher value for the Hubble Constant indicates a shorter age for the universe. A constant of 67.74 km per second per megaparsec would lead to an age of 13.8 billion years, whereas one of 73, or even as high as 77 as some studies have shown, would indicate a universe age no greater than 12.7 billion years. 

    It's a mismatch that suggests, as stated, that HD 140283 could still be older than the universe. It has also since been superseded by a 2019 study published in the journal Science that proposed a Hubble Constant of 82.4 — suggesting that the universe's age is only 11.4 billion years. Astronomers are hoping the James Webb Space Telescope could shed light on this particular mystery.

    Matthews believes the answers lie in greater cosmological refinement. "I suspect that the observational cosmologists have missed something that creates this paradox, rather than the stellar astrophysicists," he said, pointing to the measurements of the stars being perhaps more accurate. 

    "That's not because the cosmologists are in any way sloppier, but because the age determination of the universe is subject to more and arguably trickier observational and theoretical uncertainties than that of stars."

    WHY DOES THE UNIVERSE APPEAR YOUNGER THAN METHUSELAH?

    But what could be making the universe potentially appear younger than this particular star? 

    "There are two options, and the history of science suggests that in such cases the reality is a mix of both," Matthews said. "In this case that would be sources of observational error that haven't been fully understood, plus some gaps in the theory of the dynamics of the universe, such as the strength of dark energy, which has been the prime driver of the cosmic expansion for many billions of years now."

    Related: 

    He suggests the possibility that the current "age paradox" reflects time variation in dark energy, and thus a change in the rate of acceleration — a possibility theorists have found might be compatible with ideas about the fundamental nature of gravity, such as the so-called causal set theory. New research into gravitational waves could help to resolve the paradox, Matthews said.

    To do this, scientists would look at the ripples in the fabric of space and time created by pairs of dead stars, rather than relying on the cosmic microwave background or the monitoring of nearby objects such as Cepheid variables and supernovae to measure the Hubble Constant — the former resulting in the speed of 67 km per second per megaparsec and the latter in 73.

    Trouble is, measuring gravitational waves is no easy task, given they were only directly detected for the first time in 2015. But according to Stephen Feeney, an astrophysicist at the Flatiron Institute in New York, a breakthrough could be made over the next decade. The idea is to collect data from collisions between pairs of neutron stars using the visible light these events emit to figure out the speed they are moving relative to Earth. It also entails analyzing the resulting gravitational waves for an idea of distance — both of which can combine to give a measurement of the Hubble Constant that should be the most accurate yet.

    The mystery of the age of HD 140283 is leading to something bigger and more scientifically complex, altering the understanding of how the universe works. 

    "The most likely explanations for the paradox are some overlooked observational effect and/or something big missing from our understanding of the dynamics of the cosmic expansion," Matthews said. Precisely what that "something" is, is sure to keep astronomers challenged for some time.

    The Curious Case of David Grusch: An Analysis of Truth and Disinformation

    david grusch body language

    In the curious world of claims and counter-claims, where truth and falsehood often blur, the case of David Grusch presents a fascinating exploration. Grusch, a controversial figure involved in alleged whistleblower complaints, has been the subject of intense scrutiny and debate. The in-depth behavioral analysis conducted by a panel of experts provides a compelling look at the potential indications of disinformation embedded in his dialogue.

    David Grusch has been known for making assertions about alien encounters and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), claims that, understandably, are met with both intrigue and skepticism. The confluence of truth, falsehood, and interpretation in this arena is a maze difficult to navigate, making this an interesting case study for those who venture into the realms of truth-seeking.

    When scrutinizing Grusch’s statements, the panel noted that his demeanor, body language, and reactions potentially hinted at disinformation. His narrative, laced with unusual tonality, was punctuated with repetitive phrases and an immediate delivery of responses. This, coupled with a lack of visible anger about issues he was presumably passionate about, set off alarm bells for the panel.

    In one notable example, Grusch’s discussion about Jaffa Cakes, a popular snack in the UK, became a metaphor for the panel’s assertion about his potential conflation of truth and falsehood. Grusch’s detailed explanation of the tax differences between cakes and biscuits, while entertaining, was viewed by the panel as an obfuscation technique. It was seen as an effort to distract from the core issues at hand and potentially create confusion, a classic technique often used in disinformation campaigns.

    In the realm of the specific claims, Grusch’s assertion that he feared retaliation was considered credible by the Inspector General. However, the panel suggested that Grusch conflated this credibility with the legitimacy of his claims about UFOs, leading to potential misinterpretation. This tendency to conflate unrelated issues was seen as another hallmark of disinformation, further amplifying the panel’s concerns.

    The panel went as far as to speculate whether Grusch was involved in a larger, orchestrated plan, possibly even initiated by another entity. Such speculation was fueled by perceived incongruencies in Grusch’s behavior and statements, the unusual amount of UFO-related information he claimed to have received in a short amount of time, and his apparent eagerness to be part of something bigger.

    Of course, it’s important to remember that these interpretations, while based on expert analysis, remain speculative. They neither confirm nor deny Grusch’s claims outright. However, they highlight the complexity involved in discerning truth amidst potential disinformation. This analysis underscores the importance of critical thinking, the need for nuanced interpretation, and the vigilance required when navigating complex narratives.

    Whether Grusch’s narrative is an intricate tapestry of truth, a masterstroke of disinformation, or somewhere in between, remains open to interpretation. The Grusch saga serves as a reminder of the intrigue, complexity, and mystery that often shroud the realms of truth and falsehood, presenting an endless source of fascination for those drawn to such enigmas.

    David Grusch higher-dimensional beings

    Ex-Pentagon Official & Jacques Vallée Suggest Higher-Dimensional Beings Crossing Into Our World

    In a recent interview with journalist Ross Coulthart on NewsNation, Pentagon UFO whistleblower David Grusch dropped bombshell statements on UFO phenomena or UAPs, claiming that the United States and other world governments have retrieved intact and partially intact crafts of Non-Human Intelligence (NHI). The origin and reason behind these crashes is still unknown, but Grusch postulated that certain NHI, commonly associated with UFO sightings, might originate from higher-dimensional planes of existence.

    Grusch made a sensational claim by stating that in 1945, the United States intercepted a mysterious craft that was initially recovered by Mussolini’s forces in Italy back in 1933. As evidence of this extraordinary event, Grusch presented a handwritten Italian memo containing small drawings at the bottom. What made this revelation even more intriguing was the implication of the Vatican’s involvement, suggesting the religious institution was not only aware of the existence of NHI but also actively participated in suppressing this information.

    Grusch made significant assertions regarding the NHI, stating that these entities might be extraterrestrial or interdimensional, or possibly both. He described sightings and recoveries of multiple operational crafts of various sizes, including one as large as a football field. Alarmingly, he revealed the recovery of NHI bodies and hinted at potential formal agreements between the U.S. government and some NHI factions.

    Grusch is not alone in assuming that UFOs are perhaps interdimensional or higher-dimensional entities and this theory has been well-supported by others. The extraterrestrial hypothesis has remained the primary explanation for UFOs by many experts. However, there are many UFOlogists that have abandoned it in favor of the interdimensional hypothesis. Paranormal researcher Brad Steiger wrote: “We are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon that is largely indigenous to planet Earth.”

    Astronomer and UFO researcher Jacques Vallée states that UFOs and related events of a paranormal nature involve visitations from other “realities” or “dimensions.” The idea proposes that these alternate realities exist separately yet parallel to our own. In 1975’s The Edge of Reality, Vallée and Hynek considered the possibility of what they call “interlocking universes.”

    Hynek speculated that there might exist alternate universes with different quantum rules or vibration rates. He suggested that our own space-time continuum could be a mere slice of a universe with many more dimensions. Drawing an analogy, he compared it to the challenge of convincing an aborigine that TV pictures were passing through the room at that very moment. Similarly, he proposed that interlocking universes could potentially exist right here alongside ours, challenging the notion of them being located elsewhere.

    In Vallée’s book “Passport to Magonia: On UFOs, Folklore, and Parallel Worlds,” published in 1969, he put forth the idea of a parallel universe coexisting with our own. He reiterated this concept in subsequent writings, outlining his objections to the extraterrestrial origin hypothesis of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). These objections included the abundance of unexplained close encounters exceeding the requirements for a physical survey of Earth, the unlikely humanoid body structure of alleged “aliens” for interstellar travel, the contradicting behavior reported in abduction accounts, the historical evidence of UFO phenomena throughout recorded human history, and the suggestive abilities of UFOs to manipulate space and time, hinting at alternative possibilities.

    A study published on ResearchGate proposes the existence of an interdimensional membrane acting as a barrier between dimensions, with unstable entrances in the form of interdimensional tunnels. These tunnels would unpredictably wander between hyper-surfaces, and anyone caught in their entrance could potentially travel to dimensions beyond the fourth, as permitted by the laws of physics within our four-dimensional universe. Singularities and horizons would be absent in these tunnels, allowing for exploration of higher-dimensional realms.

    One of the first reports suggesting UFOs are interdimensional comes from the FBI vault. Memo 6751 acknowledges the existence of an alien presence. Former FBI officer John DeSouza, the author of “The Extra-Dimensionals: True Tales and Concepts of Alien Visitors,” points to the memorandum as a significant document in UFOlogy.

    According to the report, among other species, we are visited by creatures not only from other planets but from other dimensions as well. In particular, they are from the etheric plane coexisting with our physical Universe, materialized entities that appeared as translucent giants.

    The information presented in the memo aligns with the Interdimensional Hypothesis, which suggests that UFOs originate from other dimensions rather than extraterrestrial locations. The memo mentions several characteristics that support this idea. The claim that attacking a UFO would likely result in the destruction of the attacking plane indicates advanced defensive capabilities beyond our understanding.

    The mention of different types of occupants or remote control capabilities implies the presence of beings or entities from other dimensions. Reports of UFOs using radiant energy or rays to disintegrate attacking ships suggest highly advanced technology.

    The ability of UFOs to disappear without leaving any trace indicates their potential to traverse dimensions or manipulate visibility. While UFOs may not be reachable by conventional radio, their potential detectability through radar hints at unconventional communication systems. These elements, dating back to the Roswell incident in 1947, contribute to the foundation of the Interdimensional Hypothesis for the origins of UFOs.

    Then Why Do UFOs Crash?

    Jacques Vallee’s perspective on UFO crashes is quite different from the conventional belief that they are accidental events. He suggests that these crashes are intentional occurrences with a specific purpose orchestrated by the mysterious visitors. (Source)

    Vallee first highlights the weak and contradictory nature of the evidence surrounding UFO crashes. He claims that many alleged crash sites have not been properly investigated or verified by independent experts. Furthermore, he questions the credibility of witnesses and whistleblowers who claim to have encountered alien bodies or debris, suggesting that they may be unreliable or have ulterior motives.

    In addition, Vallee argues that the physical characteristics of the supposed alien craft and materials defy the laws of physics and engineering. Rather than attributing these anomalies to our lack of understanding, he proposes that they result from a deliberate manipulation of human perception by the UFO intelligence.

    According to Vallee, the purpose of the UFO crashes is not direct communication with humanity but rather the creation of a complex and enigmatic scenario that challenges our assumptions and beliefs about reality. He suggests that these crashes serve as catalysts, evoking various reactions from different groups of people, such as curiosity, fear, awe, skepticism, denial, or fascination. Vallee views these reactions as part of an ongoing experiment conducted by the UFO intelligence on human consciousness and culture, potentially holding profound implications for our future evolution.

    Read also:

    Vallee acknowledges that he does not know the ultimate goal or motive of the UFO intelligence. However, he asserts that it is neither hostile nor benevolent but rather indifferent to our welfare. He cautions against interpreting the UFO phenomenon solely based on our own expectations or desires and urges maintaining an open-minded and critical approach.

    Ultimately, Vallee advocates for the development of a new scientific paradigm that can encompass the multidimensional nature of reality and accommodate the possibility of other forms of intelligence and consciousness beyond our own.

    Experiencing Another Dimension

    On Jesse Michels’ show, Vallee discusses a very strange UFO case that includes experiencing another dimension by the witness. Valle said: “There was one case in San Jose.  woman had seen something over her house. It was a big disc, and I say, ‘How big was it?’ And she says, ‘Well, it was about the same size as her house. It was, you know, just like that.’ Then I say, ‘Well, when you went inside, you said, uh, you know, there was this being, and the being took you on a staircase.’ I say, ‘Where did the staircase go?’ Well, the staircase went up the side of this big round room. I say, ‘How would you compare it?’ Well, like a movie house, you know, like an M5 theater. I said, ‘That’s bigger than your house.'”

    A similar incident was also shared by an American attorney Daniel Sheehan soon after Grusch’s interview. Daily Mail reported: “A crashed UFO recovered by the US military ‘distorted space-time’ and was ‘bigger on the inside’, claims a top attorney involved in bringing UFO whistleblowers to Congress.”

    The newspaper further writes, “Daniel Sheehan says he was told the mind-boggling tale by a whistleblower who allegedly took part in an illegally-undisclosed program retrieving crashed non-human spacecraft – and who has now briefed Senate Intelligence Committee staff.”

    Sheehan described an account told to him by an insider of a crash retrieval program. According to Sheehan’s account, the recovery involved a 30-foot saucer partially embedded in the earth. When attempts were made to pull it out using a bulldozer, the saucer detached in a pie slice-like shape, revealing its construction.

    Sheehan mentioned that a person entered the saucer, and inside, it was described as being as large as a football stadium, causing disorientation and nausea. He also stated that there were time and space distortions associated with the craft. However, Sheehan did not provide specific details such as the location or date of the incident, nor did he offer any evidence to support the claims.

    It is important to note that the lack of specific information, documentation, and photographs has led skeptics to question the credibility of such stories about off-world UFOs stored by secret government programs. However, some military intelligence officials have voiced support for Sheehan’s claims, pointing out that the insider who came forward with the information has put themselves at risk by submitting their claims to the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community Inspector Generals under penalty of perjury.

    Ex-CIA Agent Deathbed Confession On UFOs

    Ex-CIA Agent Deathbed Confession On UFOs: Visited Area-51 & Saw Living Aliens

    There is a long list of officials who have spent a long time in the US defense department, claiming to have seen the alleged crashed UFOs and non-human beings that supposedly had been the passengers of those crafts. In this list comes a deathbed confession of a man claimed to be a former CIA officer. He said to have seen living extraterrestrials and alien spacecraft secretly stored in the mysterious Area-51 US Air Force base.

    “The Anonymous Interview” is a film by award-winning director Jeremy Corbell. This film investigates a very contentious witness account from an alleged ex-CIA agent who claims to have been exposed to extraterrestrial realities and technologies throughout his employment in the military and intelligence. This “deathbed confession” was presented as the witness testimony at the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC in 2013. It sparked a lively discussion among those involved in the intelligence and UFO sectors.

    The 77-years old alleged former CIA went on camera (check the video at the bottom) and testified to the renowned UFO researcher Richard Dolan. The man was scared of disclosing his real name so in the interview, he is dubbed “The Anonymous.” He even never used his actual name during his service time in the CIA. During the interview, the man told Dolan that he had not much time left as he was facing kidney failure issues.

    His story was first introduced by investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe on June 6, 1998, on the radio show Coast to Coast AM under the pseudonym “AGENT KEWPER.” He was drafted into the US military and sent to the signal training center in the eastern United States. Later, he attained the position of a cryptographer in the US Air Force. (Source)

    He worked for the CIA from 1957 to 1960 and described his work inside a CIA group based in a southeastern military base where they analyzed film, photographs, and other physical evidence collected from eyewitnesses of extraterrestrial craft and beings. Linda interviewed “Kewper” on eleven hours of audiotape in the summer of 1998 before government agents warned him not to follow through with further interviews. She shared one portion of the audio, which concerned the 1959 briefing of President Eisenhower and Vice President Nixon about UFOs, human abductions, and animal mutilations, which Eisenhower indicated he was already familiar with.

    In 2013, Kewper came out of hiding, believing the end was close, and was once more prepared to share his astonishing story. That time, Richard Dolan, a UFO historian, conducted the interview with the witness and later gave his consent for his picture and remarks to be used at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in Washington, D.C.

    He told Dolan that while he was in the military, he was offered to work for the CIA on the secret program of which he got the top-secret security clearance. Meanwhile, Project Blue Book was handling most of the UFO cases but Kewper said it was “partially fraud.” “So, you’re saying some of the Blue Book cases were completely fictitious,” Dolan asked, and Kewper replied “Yes.” The case assigned to him came from Fort Belvoir, but it was neither from the Pentagon nor the CIA.

    His most startling claim was that he had been escorted into Area 51 to view a variety of UFOs that the US military reportedly discovered. These allegedly include a flying saucer that crashed and landed in July 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico.

    Deathbed Confession by former CIA agent on UFOs

    Deathbed Confession by former CIA agent dubbed “Anonymous” on UFOs.

    But it is at the center of many alien conspiracy theories which allege that the recovered alien craft has visited Earth. There were alien craft, including the Roswell UFO and live aliens. The conspiracy theories were compounded by the fact that the US Government did not acknowledge the base existed until 2013. Other theories suggest that aliens from the crashed UFOs are secretly kept there as well.

    The man told Dolan that President Dwight Eisenhower had warned of a threat of Earth being invaded, so he and his superior at the CIA were allowed inside Area-51 to report back to the president. He claimed the two men were also taken to the alleged S-4 facility southwest of Area-51, where they observed “live extraterrestrials.”

    “It took us 13 or 15 miles south to s4 and like different garage door openings okay and in these garage door openings they had like different saucer crafts. The very first one had Roswell craft and it was kind of crashed up but apparently, every alien that was in a died except for a couple… The Roswell craft was really strange because it looked like really heavy aluminum foil. We could walk next to it and the whole thing probably weighed 150-300 pounds.”

    “Could they tell what the source of power was of this craft?” asked Dolan. “Yeah, it was like a reverse’s gravitational thing of some kind. In fact, I got the mathematical code for reversing gravity in a three-by-five card. I guess they are different types of grays and so on.”

    “How did you see that evidence?” – “At s4 we viewed the autopsy film and then the colonel said what we’ve got in here is we’re interviewing a grey alien. I thought we had no idea we were going to see the real thing all we saw was the film. What did this gray alien look like could you describe them a little bit? It didn’t look human as far as the skin tone and basically the shape of it and the size how was its head size compared with a normal human. For example, the brain was kind of a little bit bigger and the nose was very, very small and the ears were just like holes and the mouth was very small.”

    In mid-1947, a United States Air Force balloon crashed at a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. Following the wide initial interest in the crashed “flying disc,” the US military stated that it was merely a conventional weather balloon. Major Jesse Marcel from the Roswell Army Air Field found the debris 75 miles northwest of Roswell, NM, in June 1947. The debris has been identified as that of a radar target. The Air Force released a report debunking reports of a UFO crash.

    Author and UFO researcher Peter Robbins said of the account: “In my opinion, if it can be confirmed by any relevant supporting documentation, this moving and fascinating account does qualify as an authentic ‘death bed’ testimony from an individual who convincingly claims to have been a CIA officer deeply involved in the matter or crashed and/or recovered craft, and at one time a liaison between the agency and the President (Truman).”

    Agent Kewper’s identity revealed

    According to research done by author Richard Geldreich, Agent Kewper Stein was named (when he died) Oscar Wayne Wolff. He was born September 17, 1935 in Park Rapids, MN. He passed away on March 18, 2015 in Menahga, MN at the Green Pine Acres Nursing Home. (Source)

    Stephen Hawking's most famous prediction could mean that everything in the universe is doomed to evaporate, new study says

    Stephen Hawking's most famous theory about black holes has just been given a sinister update — one that proclaims that everything in the universe is doomed to evaporate.

    In 1974, Hawking proposed that black holes eventually evaporate by losing what's now known as Hawking radiation — a gradual draining of energy in the form of light particles that spring up around black holes' immensely powerful gravitational fields. Now, a new update to the theory has suggested that Hawking radiation isn't just created by stealing energy from black holes, but from all objects with enough mass.

    If the theory is true, it means that everything in the universe will eventually disappear, its energy slowly bled from it in the form of light. 

    Related: 

    "That means that objects without an event horizon [the gravitational point of no return beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape a black hole], such as the remnants of dead stars and other large objects in the universe, also have this sort of radiation," lead author Heino Falcke, a professor of astrophysics at Radboud University in the Netherlands, said in a statement. "And, after a very long period, that would lead to everything in the universe eventually evaporating, just like black holes. This changes not only our understanding of Hawking radiation but also our view of the universe and its future."

    The researchers published their findings June 2 in the journal Physical Review Letters.

    Space-time monsters

    According to quantum field theory, there is no such thing as an empty vacuum. Space is instead teeming with tiny vibrations that, if imbued with enough energy, randomly burst into virtual particles, producing very-low-energy packets of light, or photons.

    In a landmark paper published in 1974, Hawking famously predicted that the extreme gravitational force felt at the mouths of black holes — their event horizons — would summon photons into existence in this way. Gravity, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity, distorts space-time, so that quantum fields get more warped the closer they get to the immense gravitational tug of a black hole's singularity.

    Because of the uncertainty and weirdness of quantum mechanics, Hawking said this warping creates uneven pockets of differently moving time and subsequent spikes of energy across the field. These energy mismatches make photons appear in the contorted space around black holes, siphoning energy from the black hole's field so they can burst into existence. If the particles then escape the black hole, this energy theft led Hawking to conclude that — over a vast timescale much longer than the current age of the universe — black holes would eventually lose all of their energy and disappear completely.

    But if a gravitational field is all that's needed to produce quantum fluctuations and photons, what's stopping any object with a space-time warping mass from creating Hawking radiation? Does Hawking radiation need the special condition of a black hole's event horizon, or can it be produced anywhere in space? To probe these questions, the authors of the new study analyzed Hawking radiation through the lens of a long-predicted process called the Schwinger effect, in which matter can theoretically be generated from the powerful distortions caused by an electromagnetic field.

    Sure enough, by applying the framework of the Schwinger effect to Hawking's theory, the theoretical physicists produced a mathematical model that reproduced Hawking radiation in spaces experiencing a range of gravitational field strengths. According to their new theory, an event horizon isn't necessary for energy to slowly leak from a massive object in the form of light; the object's gravitational field is good enough on its own.

    "We show that far beyond a black hole the curvature of space-time plays a big role in creating radiation," second author Walter van Suijlekom, a professor of mathematics at Radboud University, said in the statement. "The particles are already separated there [beyond the black hole] by the tidal forces of the gravitational field."

    What the researchers' theory means in reality isn't clear. Possibly, as the matter that makes up stars, neutron stars, and planets ages, it will eventually undergo an energy transition into a completely new ultralow energy state. This might be enough to eventually collapse all matter into black holes, which could continue to slowly drip out light until they too disappear without a trace.

    Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on any misgivings you may have about evaporating), all of this is just speculation awaiting confirmation. To figure out if it's a true prediction of our universe's eventual fate, physicists will need to spot some Hawking radiation being produced around gravitationally dense objects — both around black holes and planets, stars, or neutron stars. If everything is destined to disappear in a flash of cool light, there should be plenty of places to look.

    Why have aliens never visited Earth? Scientists have a disturbing answer

    Why has humanity never been visited by aliens (that we know of)? The question has confounded scientists for decades, but two researchers have come up with a possible — and disturbing — explanation: Advanced civilizations could be doomed to either stagnate or die before they get the chance.

    The new hypothesis suggests that, as space-faring civilizations grow in scale and technological development, they eventually reach a crisis point where innovation no longer keeps up with the demand for energy. What comes next is collapse. The only alternative path is to reject a model of "unyielding growth" in favor of maintaining equilibrium, but at the cost of a civilization's ability to expand across the stars, the researchers said.

    The argument, published on May 4 in the journal Royal Society Open Science, attempts to find a resolution to the Fermi Paradox. Taking its name from the casual lunchtime musings of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi, the paradox draws attention to the contradiction between the immense scope and age of the universe — two things that suggest the universe should be teeming with advanced alien life — and the lack of evidence that extraterrestrials exist anywhere in sight. "So where is everybody?" Fermi is thought to have remarked. 

    Related

    The researchers of the new study say they may have the answer.

    "Civilizations either collapse from burnout or redirect themselves to prioritizing homeostasis, a state where cosmic expansion is no longer a goal, making them difficult to detect remotely," astrobiologists Michael Wong, of the Carnegie Institution for Science, and Stuart Bartlett, of the California Institute of Technology, wrote in the study. "Either outcome — homeostatic awakening or civilization collapse — would be consistent with the observed absence of [galactic-wide] civilizations."

    The pair came to their hypothesis by researching studies of the "'superlinear"' growth of cities. These studies suggested that cities increase in size and  energy consumption at an exponential rate as their populations grow, inevitably leading to crisis points — or singularities — that cause rapid crashes in growth, followed by an even more precipitous, potentially civilization-ending, collapse. 

    "We hypothesize that once a planetary civilization transitions into a state that can be described as one virtually connected global city, it will face an 'asymptotic burnout,' an ultimate crisis where the singularity-interval time scale becomes smaller than the time scale of innovation," they wrote. 

    These close-to-collapse civilizations would be the easiest for humanity to detect, the researchers suggest, as they would be dissipating large amounts of energy in a "wildly unsustainable" way. "This presents the possibility that a good many of humanity's initial detections of extraterrestrial life may be of the intelligent, though not yet wise, kind," the researchers wrote.

    To avert their doom, civilizations could undergo a "homeostatic awakening," redirecting their production away from unbounded growth across the stars to one that prioritizes societal wellbeing, sustainable and equitable development and harmony with their environment, the researchers suggest. While such civilizations may not completely abandon space exploration, they would not expand on scales great enough to make contact with Earth likely.

    The researchers point to a few of humanity's "mini-awakenings" that addressed global crises on Earth, such as the reduction of global nuclear arms stockpiles from 70,000 warheads to below 14,000; the halting of the once-growing hole in Earth's ozone layer by banning chlorofluorocarbon emissions; and the 1982 international whaling moratorium.

    The scientists stress, however, that their suggestion is simply a hypothesis, taken from the observation of laws that seem to govern life on Earth, and is designed to "provoke discussion, introspection and future work."

    Their proposal joins a bountiful crop of other scientific and popular suggestions as to why we've never made direct contact with celestial visitors. These include the numerous practical challenges presented by interstellar travel; that aliens may actually be visiting in secret; or that aliens arrived to Earth too soon (or humans too early) in the life of the universe for direct contact.

    Another hypothesis, published April 4 in The Astrophysics Journal, suggests that the sheer scale of the universe means it could take as long as 400,000 years for a signal sent by one advanced species to be received by another — a timescale that’s far greater than the brief period humans have been able to scan the skies.

    Mysterious difficulties are still preventing the release of information related to the government’s hoarding and suppressing data about the first known interstellar object to land on Earth, nearly a year after U.S. Space Command confirmed that scientists had correctly identified it. Whereas, scientists provide an explanation for the trajectory of the most controversial “Oumuamua.”

    Scientists Jennifer Bergner and Darryl Seligman submitted a paper, concluding that Oumuamua contained water and molecular hydrogen, which froze into ice due to the extreme cold of deep space. When the interstellar object entered the inner solar system and warmed up, the ice converted to its crystalline state, causing the H2 to be forced out and provide the propulsive push that explained the acceleration. The scientists ruled out nitrogen and carbon monoxide as possible explanations for the outgassing and acceleration because their levels were too low.

    Dr. Avi Loeb said: “Oumuamua was not a Hydrogen-Water iceberg.” He submitted a new paper in collaboration with Thiem Hoang, challenging the surface temperature calculation of Oumuamua made by Bergner and Darryl in their recent paper published in Nature. He and Hoang argue that the calculation ignored the cooling effect of evaporating hydrogen, leading to an overestimation of the surface temperature by a factor of 9. The decrease in surface temperature limits the thermal annealing of water ice, further challenging the original model’s credibility.

    Additionally, Dr. Loeb argues that Oumuamua’s lack of a visible coma, absence of carbon-based molecules or dust, and its unusual elongated shape, are all inconsistent with it being a generic comet. Dr. Loeb has previously proposed the possibility that Oumuamua is artificial in origin, which has sparked debates among experts.

    In 2019, Amar Siraj and Dr. Loeb discovered an interstellar meteor near Papua New Guinea in 2014 and attempted to confirm their discovery. Relevant data had been collected by Department of Defense sensors, which were used to track nuclear explosions and was classified. In 2022, after delays, Space Command confirmed the researchers were correct about the meteor’s origin. This raised questions about why the government had suppressed information about the discovery for years.

    According to this report, Motherboard filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act with different federal agencies seeking insight into why the government was not sharing data about alien bodies transiting our solar system. One request was filed with the Department of Energy in April 2022, and sought emails from two scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, who mentioned the terms asteroid, meteor, or debris. Motherboard requested expedited processing due to the public’s interest in the topic.

    The Department of Energy informed Motherboard that the request had been forwarded to the National Nuclear Security Administration, and a government information specialist later informed Motherboard that they had not demonstrated a compelling need for expedited processing. The request’s estimated completion date was moved several times, and Motherboard was ultimately told there is no estimated completion date due to “a few difficulties that the NNSA’s Los Alamos Field Office and/or Lab will have to work out.”

    There is no definite answer to why mainstream scientists are trying to diminish Dr. Loeb’s discovery of Oumuamua and his bold acceptance of extraterrestrials. However, in his recent blog post, he mentioned that he was visited by two government representatives from Washington DC, who assumed he was on the right path. Perhaps, he is right about some UFOs might be extraterrestrial. (Source)

    “‘Am I wasting my time?’ I asked the two visitors who came all the way from Washington DC to my home a couple of days ago. ‘Not at all,’ they assured me,” writes Dr. Loeb. He further added: “There is, of course, a lingering possibility that I am naïve and UAP are smoke and mirrors. In that case, we will find out soon enough. This is why I asked my guests from DC whether I may be wasting my time. I have no access to classified data and the publicly available data is not convincing. But the known facts are intriguing enough to get me going. Just as the nature of dark matter inspired me to write many scientific papers as a theoretical astrophysicist.”

    Dr. Loeb has written extensively about dark matter and other cosmic phenomena. However, he is now leading the Galileo Project, which aims to investigate unident ified aerial phenomena (UAP) and determine if any have an extraterrestrial technological origin. The author notes that the scientific community has not been open to exploring UAP in the same way they have been with dark matter, and that this is a problem.

    He argues that new scientific knowledge is gained through high-quality data, and the path to this knowledge should not be hindered by academic intolerance or low-quality data. He also notes that UAP research is often hindered by unsubstantiated claims and low-quality data, and that the focus should be on collecting new high-quality data to determine the nature of UAP.

    A recent poll conducted by Professor Brian Keating from the University of California, San Diego, shows that 51.1% of respondents believe that the first Oumuamua was of extraterrestrial technological origin, despite inconclusive scientific evidence.

    According to Dr. Loeb, “three of the known four interstellar objects (ISOs) appear anomalous, namely the meteors IM1 and IM2 in their high material strength and Oumuamua in its non-gravitational acceleration without a visible cometary tail, is intriguing for those who maintain their childhood curiosity or beginner’s mind (Shoshin) of Zen Buddhism. This evidence is not intriguing for everyone. Some science journalists celebrated a Nature paper last week and chose to ignore a follow-up paper which demonstrated that the Nature paper violated energy conservation, in order ‘not to confuse their readers.'”

    On March 7, 2023, Avi Loeb presented a paper co-authored with Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, Director, All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) of the Pentagon, stating that some UAPs could be small probes from an alien mothership. The paper describes physical constraints on UAPs using known forms of matter and radiation and states that the lack of radio signatures could indicate inaccurate distance measurements.

    Dr. Loeb suggests that an artificial interstellar object could release many small probes during its close passage to Earth, which could reach Earth or other Solar system planets for exploration, and would be undetectable for existing survey telescopes but could be detected by deep space radars and space fences. The changes in arrival time and distance of the closest approach to Earth would manifest due to a small ejection speed far away, leading to a large deviation from the trajectory of the parent craft near the Sun.

    In conclusion, the idea that Oumuamua and some UAPs could be of alien origin is a topic that continues to intrigue and spark debate among scientists and the general public. While some believe that the inconclusive scientific evidence does not support this claim, others like Dr. Loeb and Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick have presented research and theories that suggest the possibility of alien probes. As technology advances, it will be interesting to see if we can detect more evidence that could provide answers to this ongoing mystery.
